  Speaker 1: The Season with Peter Scheger is a production of the
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: NFL in partnership with iHeartRadio. What's Up, everybody, Welcome to
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the Season with Peter Schreger. I am Peter Schreger. I
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: have a son tan slash, sun burn slash, you know,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: patch of sweat all over because I just spent eight
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: hours at Jets Camp. I'm joined here by Aaron Wang Kaufman,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: who is the wonderful producer of this program. Aaron, I
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: just got back from Flora Park and what did I
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: tell you? I'm like, we get on the mics. I
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: want to just do a podcast about my Jets Day
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: experience for the Jets fans. We made it happen.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: We're here.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: This was I literally texted Aaron what erin twenty minutes ago.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, basically like we should do it today. I
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: think we should do it.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing about training camp. You go for a
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: day and then one day is completely different from the
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: next day. And Monday at Jets Camp was like one
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: of those treasured practices where there's no fans allowed. It's
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: close to the fans, so like I felt like I
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: was in on like a secret society meeting or something.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Like the skull and bones. It was a few people.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: There was a couple members of the local Jets media
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: who were all wonderful. It was Kyle Branton myself, and
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: then it was just the team and it was practice,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: and I will set the stage this way, Aaron. Practice
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: starts around ten am Eastern and we're doing good morning
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: football because we're from eight to twelve. But there was
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: two different blocks where Kyle and I weren't on and
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: practice about fifty yards away. And I said to our
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: producer Cody, I'm like, is it cool if Kyle and
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I just step off and go check out practice for
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: a little bit. And he's like, yeah, sure, go dude,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: dot do. So I go to Eric Gelfand, who runs
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: pr and communications for the Jets. I'm like, we want
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: to go watch practice, but we need credentials can be
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: like I'll walk, you come with me. So Eric takes
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: me and Kyle.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: We walk.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Not ten seconds to this walk, does a ball come
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: whizzing at us, bounces right at Kyle's feet, Like what
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: the hell? Look up and it's Rogers and he's flung
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: one forty yards at us on purpose and he waves
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: and he's like, what's up fellows like, hey, Aaron Rodgers,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: how are you, buddy? Because of the scheduling of the
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: practice and our show, he couldn't sit down with us,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: so that was his greeting. So then Kyle had this
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: big moment where it's like the whole team is watching.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Rogers just flung a pass at us. Aaron, what do
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: you do? Do you pick up the ball and run
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: it over to him? Do you underhand toss it to
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: a coach who's nearby Rogers is forty yards away, or
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: do you just in front of ninety of the biggest
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: alphas in the world, of the top one percent of
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the one percent, do you attempt to pass back? What
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: would you do?
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: So as someone who just last week while playing tennis
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: with my mom a second day in a row, hit
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: one ball out and had to throw it back over
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: the fence and just threw the first one back over
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: totally fine, and the second one I'm.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: In at the top of the fence. It comes.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: It's very embarrassing. I am not throwing forty I am
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: running that ball to him.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Kyle Bryant picks up the ball and like we're laughing
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: because Rogers was like it was a as much as
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: a sign of affection for someone in the media. Is
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Rogers slinging a ball at us, That's what it is.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Kyle cocks it back, and I've seen Kyle throw one
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: hundred footballs. He throws a forty yard tight spiral whizz
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: is it back and Rogers catches it with two hands
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: like this and then gives one of these like a
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: big like peace sign. And then practice continues, and I'm
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: like Kyle, and he's like, I don't know what came
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: over me, Like adrenaline. He looked like Marino. He just
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: flung it back there.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Aaron.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: The vibes are so good at jet Scamp, so good.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know what to do because I feel like
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: this is one of those deals where it's like, you know,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: imagine a woman will say a woman. It could be
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: a man, but let's just say a woman. I don't
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: know if when you get canceled for this woman falls
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: in love with a guy, they get engaged, everything's going right,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: and then get stood up at the altar, and then
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: exactly twelve months to the day, meets another man and
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: he wants to get engaged.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: You hesitate.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: If you're that woman, you'd say I had just been
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: through a really crazy like do you maybe this is
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Jets fans right now? They got four plays into the season,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: it all went and exploded, and it was disastrous that
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: it was the worst thing you can imagine. And it's like,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: all right, fool me once. I'm not gonna let I'm
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: not gonna believe again. But Aaron, when I tell you,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I'm at this practice, and the offense is just Christmas
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: hell in the offensive line, like you can tell the difference,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Like Morgan Moses is out there, it's like an adult
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: on the offensive line. And you're looking at the different
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: players on the field and it's Garrett Wilson and Brice Hall,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: and then on the other side of the ball, it's
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: like all Pro after all Pro, and it's Quinn Williams
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: and his brother Quincy Williams, and then it's Sauce Gardner.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: But then, oh yeah, they have CJ. Moseley still and oh,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Solomon Thomas is an absolute, you know, menace in the middle,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: and gosh, they have so much talent everywhere at every position.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: And and there's Aaron Rodgers, who I don't think throwing
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: to complete the entire entire practice, I don't know what
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: to do about these Jets, because I too picked them
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: to win the AFC East last year. I too had
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: them go into the Super Bowl until like the last
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: second when I'm like, I can't pick. I gotst the Chiefs,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: and I picked the Chiefs and then four plays in,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Rogers got hurt and it was one of the worst
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: seasons ever. I was talking with someone within the organization
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, is it as good as it looks?
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: And it's like, sh don't even say it out loud,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: like that is how everyone feels like it is so good,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: and sala isn't talking to the media and like no
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: one's closer with Robert Sala in the in the media
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: then me And I'm like, do you want to come
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: on our show, Good Morning Football. It's a friendly place,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: like we'll just talk, we'll just do whatever. And he's like, no,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I'm not doing media. It's all about football right now.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, respect it. They're dialed in, they're healthy,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: everything looks to be clicking, and yet there's this feeling
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: of like I can't believe because I've been believing for
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: so long, and it just it blows up in your face.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: For this podcast, I don't want to go through the
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: entire day of practice. What I'm gonna do is I'm
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: gonna toss to clips of interviews we did while we
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: were there for Jets camp. And the first one is
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: a guy that I think is going to be a
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: breakout star of this season if he wasn't a year ago.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: It's the linebacker Quincy Williams. Some backstory on Quincy. He's
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: a third round pick of the Jaguars, lasted a couple
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: of years there and then the Jets picked him up.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: He's Quinn Williams's brother, all right. The two of them
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: are brothers. They both play in the same defense. He
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: was a nickelback in college, meaning he played safety for
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: the most part, and now he's probably one of the
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: top three linebackers in the league. He was an All
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Pro last year, and when the NFL one hundred released
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: their top one hundred players over the week, Quincy Williams
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: was the highest rated Jet at number thirty two. With
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: no further ado, Here is Kyle brant in Maya's interview
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: from Good Morning Football Monday with linebacker Quincy Williams.
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: Here we go for the day by the Law, also
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: known as Kid low life.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: He's hard, but I hear harder. I said hard, but
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: he's harder.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: This is our guy.
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: Where at jets camp we wanted to find him number
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: thirty two on the NFL's Top one hundred on All
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: Pro A legend.
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: He's about to be a girl. Daddy's got it all
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: going on. Quincy Williams from the.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: New York Chests, what's up? It was good? Do you
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: want to start over? Let's go nail this.
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: Life is harder, but Peter hits harder.
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: Dude, life is sitting hard right now, but life's coming
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: up great for you. How is life right now? Life
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: is amazing? Man?
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: The biggest thaying gives.
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: Like I said, I got a daughter on the way,
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: so it's taking my game onto a new level.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: Far as life, studying and prepared for season.
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: Now, we'in't even talking about us off the air, but
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: we would be willing to share it.
• 8:02
  Speaker 7: You said, you already have the name picked out for
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: your daughter.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Nova, So nicknames like Supernova.
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: Supernova Williams, Let's go come on.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: This is good. So is what Kyle alluded to the NFL.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Every year does this top one.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Hundred less people debate it and they say, well, this
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: guy sho hired, this guy the highest rated jet on
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: the list and number thirty two. When you got that news,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: what was your reaction.
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: Oh, I was amazed for just to be on the
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: top one hundred period and then be a part of
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: the top fifty. Man, it was amazing. It was like
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: one of those things that you dream about and then
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: you see it and then you actually get it and
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: you'd be like, all right, it's another level to it.
• 8:41
  Speaker 7: It's amazing, but not as amazing as your story.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: I think people are starting to learn it now because
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: you're getting these accolades and you're getting this.
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: You're not Quinnon's brother like you were back in the day.
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: You thirty two in the NFL, but you're also number
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: one in the NFL in terms of swimming ability.
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: You guys got a smile on his face, So this
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: is crazy.
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: We got the Olympics going on right now, we're seeing
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: Katy Lidecki went gold.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: Maz All right.
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: There was a moment in time when you sat there
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: and saying, should I pursue swimming and go to the
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: Olympics or pursue the football?
• 9:12
  Speaker 8: Try to go to the NFL? Can you take us
• 9:13
  Speaker 8: back there. Actually it's the Origin story. I mean just
• 9:16
  Speaker 8: just posted an Origin store for me yesterday, So it's
• 9:19
  Speaker 8: kind of like a small documentary. So it tells a
• 9:22
  Speaker 8: lot about that. They did a great time like handling that.
• 9:26
  Speaker 8: But basically when I got to high school, it was
• 9:30
  Speaker 8: all you got to pick a chance to go to college,
• 9:32
  Speaker 8: like you can't do both. My grandma sent me down.
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: It was like losing weight and gaining weight for a
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: football season, but then losing weight for swimming was kind of.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: Like, all right, it's unheard of. So I did it for.
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: A little while, and then I got to my freshman
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: year and I was like, dangn bro, this junk actually
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: kind of hard, Like I'm gonna have to pick. So
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: then it was like which one can I go to
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: college for? Then come to find out I can go
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: to college for both of them, so I was like
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: all right, bet. So then I was like which one
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: am I gonna have fun in? And then boom, I'm
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: gonna have fun at both of them. So I was
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: like which one is my siblings in? So my brother's
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: playing football, my younger brother's playing football. Givunie's playing football also,
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: so was like that I'm gonna pick football. So both
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: my brothers are on the same team, me and high school,
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: so we played football. So I stuck to the football
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: like you were nice and swimming r Yeah, so breadstroke
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: butterfly was my weekend freestyle. Freestyle, love freestyle, backstroke. I
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: like that when to counter flags and having my stroke together.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Have you been watching the Olympics and yeah from France.
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I've been watching for real, I've been watching. I
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: think he didn't have anyone in the in the picture
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: when he was.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: Just him in the home pool. Yeah, that was amazing.
• 10:40
  Speaker 7: Watching, like, you know, the football's going really well.
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: I still got it. I feel like. Yeah.
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: So I trained at Doctor Reef in Florida and we
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: had a guy who was training just doing like some
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: swimming and I raced him.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: So I wanted doctor you still got that video there
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: for real because we want to see you in.
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: The pool for Birmingham, Alabama. You're growing up, you're swimming,
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: and you were dominant. You could have gone to the Olympics,
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: right for real.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: The whole thing like every day having to shave your
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: or so you can be dynamic. He did that.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: This is incredible.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: I love it and we love what this Jets defense
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: has been coming as well. It's it's it's collection of
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: stars but also personalities. What's the vibe in the locker
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: room as we head into twenty twenty four, especially on
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: the defensive side.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: Of the ball, man, It's amazing.
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: It's the biggest thing, and this year is we're focusing
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: on the standard. So last year number one defense coming
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: out and our so the biggest thing hold withholding that
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: standard and building.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: Off from next year.
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: So the biggest thing we can build off from next year.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: Is really focusing on ourselves.
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: That's the main thing, and being the best defense we
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: can be every single week, So that's the main thing.
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: And not hurting ourselves.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: One of the things that you've become known for, Like
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: if you type your name into Google, one of the
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: little things that suggests is Quincy Williams's uppercut uppercut? Can
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: you tell us about the upper cut celebration? What's going
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: on here?
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: So it's kind of like it's.
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: A street fight or uppercut, But in my head, it's
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: a mortal komback Mindset' gotting this type mindset, so bigtality
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: most like big hits or like minus plays, or like
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: tackle for losses, and so you know, people.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: Have their head down like they'd be like dang or
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: be like a So think about it. It's the upcuts.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: So I'm picking the head up.
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: When you were more on combat, like were you were
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: you some zero? You scoped Johnny Cage, like who was
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: who was Johnny Cage.
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: Just because he was like he had the hands. Really
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: all the other ones got like weapons and stuff like that.
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: Johnny Cage coming out of there.
• 12:30
  Speaker 8: Straight hands and Johnny Cage will knock you out and
• 12:32
  Speaker 8: then he'll just be like, yo, that's always saves.
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: Like person speaking of what you got?
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: This this amazing TA I want to ask you about
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: can you put your forearms up?
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: You're talking so if.
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: You can see us half human, half amazings to take
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: us through this Clinton.
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: So the half human have amazing actually came from my
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: brother Coinnen, his favorite rappers Kevin Gates, So he always
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: says half human, half amazing.
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: So when I actually thought about like the.
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: Stuff I've been through, everybody'll be like, oh, you're amazing,
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: You're amazing all this kind of stuff. And on the field,
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: everybody's like the players you make are amazing.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: But then off the field, I'm still human.
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: So that's kind of like my mind said, So it's
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: like half human, half amazing. So it's like having another
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: personality far as like getting off the field. Well, I'm
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: like this aggressive player till now I'm a girl dad.
• 13:22

  Speaker 2: Man, he's still number one.
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: I'm be trying to tell people b Quinn is a
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: better football player than I am. Like he knows the
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: game or like he teaches me a lot for real.
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: So that's pretty cool though thirty joke.

  Speaker 4: Still I still talk to him about it. This year,
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: I got you. This year, I'm better than you. Yeah.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: My last question is about New York City and New
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: York in this market. You guys have all this media spotlight,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: You've got all these expectations.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: How do you like living up here?
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: As I got from Birmingham, who, of course spent the
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: off season in Florida.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: Man, it's totally different.
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: Man.
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: In Birmingham is a lot of like trees and stuff
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: like that, a lot of grass, and then you get
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: to New York and it's a lot of seamen and
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: a lot of buildings.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: So it's a different scenery. Number One, the traffic is crazier.
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: You know, getting like a breath of fresh air in
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: Alabama and all of a sudden you got your windows
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: rolled up because you're in the tunnel with cars and
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: stuff like that.
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: So it really just getting used to that. But man,
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: the atmosphere is amazing. It's always something to do in
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: the city. That's the most important thing.
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: Whether I mean anything, bro, whatever, whatever you want to
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: do is in the city, like it's in some part
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: of the city, like it's all there.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: So it's like a one stop shot for real.
• 14:39
  Speaker 7: So much though, right.
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: Love that we saw We saw Patrick Willis go in
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: the Hall of Fame. This weekend, we got Lawrence Taylor,
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: the Lake Dick Buckets, your favorite player. None of them
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: have anything on the one hundred meter breastroke right here.
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: And by the way, football's coming to to that type
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: of heights. He is that good. He is in the
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: right spot. Watch out for this guy. Quincy Williams, the
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: father of Nova on the way, you're the back.
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: So great to have you, man, great player must be
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: after this.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: So that's Quincy Williams now Aaron. A lot of times
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: we hear about these guys having great, decorated high school
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: baseball or basketball careers. When I tell you that Quincy
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Williams had a decision to pursue a swimming career or
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: a football career and chose football, is it not? Is
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: there and he's great at football, He's an All Pro,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: he's gonna make millions of dollars, he's generationally generationally wealthy.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: It's the right decision. But when you hear that this
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: guy in Birmingham, Alabama was the best swimmer in the
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: state and like has a beautiful does it not make
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: you think what could have been if Quincy Williams just
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: chased his dream to be a professional swimmer and to
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: maybe go to the Olympics, How cool that would have been.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: I would just be scared if I was, you know,
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: at the local pool doing laps and the person I'm
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: sharing laps with, like the lane that I'm in, is
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: also an NFL player. The size of that person coming
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: at me in the lat pool would terrify me.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: It's a cool visual too. We got the video. We
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: eventually got the video and I'll post it on my
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Twitter Instagram. But Quincy's got like a beautiful strike. It's
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: like watching Caleb Dressel, but he's an African American dude
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: with like green hair down.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: To his shoulders.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Another thing with Quincy, which is cool, He's got the
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Joker tattoo, but it's on his fizz.
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: It's on his hand.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: So does this thing where he covers it and it's
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: like the Joker smile. Yeah, the lips and I'm like, Okay,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: this guy's got a personality. One of our favorite guys
• 16:36

  Speaker 9: a sports like coologist, being in therapy and how that's
• 18:56
  Speaker 9: really changed my life and made me a better football player.
• 18:58
  Speaker 9: Just investing in myself personally, so you know, it's really cool.
• 19:01
  Speaker 9: And then to be a part of a team like
• 19:02
  Speaker 9: this in New York, in New Jersey, I'm one of
• 19:04
  Speaker 9: the coolest places in the world. So you know, I'm
• 19:07

  Speaker 2: Crazy? Being like the old head in the room now
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: and you can't og and old Oh.
• 19:15
  Speaker 9: I got one of our players, our young rookies, told
• 19:18
  Speaker 9: me that when I was my first in the league,
• 19:20
  Speaker 9: he was a freshman in high school and that kind
• 19:22
  Speaker 9: of hurt the herd.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: So so something you know, like like Sauce, I think
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: is Sauce is like twenty three years Yeah, crazy like that.
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: How do you relate to all those guys, especially on
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: defense they are so young?
• 19:33
  Speaker 9: Just football, Like, you know, football brings everyone so close,
• 19:35
  Speaker 9: like the grind of it, you know, waking up early,
• 19:37
  Speaker 9: staying in late, you know, just just loving the competition.
• 19:40
  Speaker 9: Like we all relate on that level. So no matter
• 19:42
  Speaker 9: what the age, like, no matter like if they know
• 19:44
  Speaker 9: new new terminology, new language, like they keep us up
• 19:47
  Speaker 9: to date.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: But it's it's all fun.
• 19:49
  Speaker 9: Like we all love competing, we all love being together,
• 19:51
  Speaker 9: so we all relate on that level and we're all
• 19:53
  Speaker 9: like this team's really is a family.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: It's really cool to be a part of us.
• 19:56
  Speaker 7: If you ever want to feel young, you can just
• 19:57
  Speaker 7: point them to the quarterback like I was in.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Kindergarten, right exactly exactly. You go back all the way
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: with Salah.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Obviously you got we're together in San Francisco and then
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: he comes to the Jets, and you come, Salah going
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: into this year, how has he been as we haven't
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: had much you know, interaction with him and as socially
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: on our show this morning, we're gonna get a chance
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: to watch practice, But what's Sala been like going into
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: this pivotal year.
• 20:21
  Speaker 9: He's really excited. I mean he's really bringing you know,
• 20:23
  Speaker 9: Saula is a very passionate person. He's very energetic. He's
• 20:27
  Speaker 9: he loves a game, so he really bleeds that into
• 20:29
  Speaker 9: us and he wants us to care about the little
• 20:30
  Speaker 9: things like love and regard for each other, Like how
• 20:32
  Speaker 9: are you gonna fight for your teammate? In the fourth quarter, Like,
• 20:34
  Speaker 9: how are you gonna show up with with the little details?
• 20:36
  Speaker 9: Are the receivers in the block down the field on
• 20:39
  Speaker 9: long runs, the receivers in a show full speed on
• 20:42
  Speaker 9: certain routes to get other guys open, like certain things
• 20:44
  Speaker 9: like that, to really be a team, because this game
• 20:46
  Speaker 9: is really hard. Right now, everyone's saying the same thing
• 20:48
  Speaker 9: super Bowl Champs. Details, But what is really gonna separate you?
• 20:51
  Speaker 9: And I think that's that love and regard for each
• 20:53
  Speaker 9: other that he consistently preaches to us. I think that's
• 20:55
  Speaker 9: what's gonna make it special.
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: You.
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: You always do. You look great physically.
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: I mean you were one of the most jacked dudes
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: in the league, Like you have the bosas and now
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: Aaron Donald's gone, and it's honest, Solom Thomas, it's you.
• 21:07
  Speaker 7: But also, you know, we do things a little different.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Good Morning Football.
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: At one point we did a ranking of the head
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: coaches in the NFL based on fitness. Okay, okay, and
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: three we had Dan Campbell, two we had Sean McDermott
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: Division rival, but number one we got Bobby Solid ring.
• 21:22
  Speaker 7: Out the Florida rash from the golf course. I mean,
• 21:25
  Speaker 7: what is it like to have a head coach in
• 21:27
  Speaker 7: the NFL who looks like this.
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: He looks like you.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, walking in this morning. You know who's in
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: the weight room? Coach Solid?
• 21:33
  Speaker 7: What's he doing?
• 21:34
  Speaker 9: I mean I saw him doing the shoulder raises. But
• 21:36
  Speaker 9: I mean I'm talking, I'm talking about what time is that? Yeah,
• 21:41
  Speaker 9: But I think he kind of influences the coaches being
• 21:43
  Speaker 9: there too. Sometimes you see a lot of the coaches
• 21:44
  Speaker 9: that are lifting, so I think the whole squad is
• 21:46
  Speaker 9: kind of trying to get some of that, you know,
• 21:48
  Speaker 9: Coach Solid in him.
• 21:49
  Speaker 7: We asked him, We're like, coach, like, is there a
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: is there a supplement you can suggest? When he goes
• 21:52
  Speaker 7: he's ad. All I take is phw what the he.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: Pure?
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: Hard work?
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean trying to.
• 22:00
  Speaker 7: Play for a guy who's that committed physically when he
• 22:03
  Speaker 7: doesn't even have to be. That must motivate you in
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: a different way.
• 22:05
  Speaker 9: I mean a as you see your coach and they're working,
• 22:07
  Speaker 9: I mean getting after it. You know, you have no
• 22:09
  Speaker 9: excuse not to be, and they're doing the same thing,
• 22:11
  Speaker 9: you know.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Okay, So going from the weight room and sala to
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: a totally different stage. I'm sitting there Kyle knows I'm
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: a Broadway guys.
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: The middle of June, I've got it on.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: I'm like the Outsider is gonna win this year?
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: And watching it and the Solomon Thomas presenting a Tony Awards.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: What was that like?
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: How'd that come to me?
• 22:31
  Speaker 9: That was like one of the coolest experiences in the world.
• 22:33
  Speaker 9: I have to shout out you know, Jack Upton, Ellie,
• 22:35
  Speaker 9: Ellie Kaplan at Cia for really making that happen. And
• 22:37
  Speaker 9: it's all my Broadway people.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: But to be a part of me I really do.
• 22:43
  Speaker 9: Just to be a part of their special Knight really
• 22:44
  Speaker 9: meant the world to me. They work so hard, they're
• 22:46
  Speaker 9: so talented. There's some of the most special people in
• 22:48
  Speaker 9: the world to me, So to be there and to
• 22:49
  Speaker 9: be able to present with Nate was it was so
• 22:51
  Speaker 9: cool And I love those people.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 22:55
  Speaker 9: I think there's so much that relates from Broadway to football.
• 22:57
  Speaker 9: You know that that mental aspect. They perform eight shows
• 23:00
  Speaker 9: a week. To me, that's like doing eight games a week,
• 23:02
  Speaker 9: and then how to be in that focus, like when
• 23:03
  Speaker 9: things go wrong, how to keep going, how to be present,
• 23:06
  Speaker 9: how to you know, feed off of each other. It's
• 23:08
  Speaker 9: like a family back there. But you know, I've learned
• 23:10
  Speaker 9: a lot from you know, my Broadway people got a
• 23:11
  Speaker 9: shot out my guy who q kills from Back to
• 23:14
  Speaker 9: the Future. He really teaches me a lot about the
• 23:16
  Speaker 9: football theater relationship touch. We keep in touch and he
• 23:20
  Speaker 9: teaches me certain things. He was like, you know, every
• 23:23
  Speaker 9: time I go out on the show, I have to
• 23:24
  Speaker 9: make their audience believe something that isn't real is real.
• 23:27
  Speaker 9: And like, you know, he was teaching me, like that,
• 23:28
  Speaker 9: how I can do that in football, and like how
• 23:30
  Speaker 9: I can sell that passion, How I can sell like
• 23:32
  Speaker 9: you know, certain moves and stuff like that, and and
• 23:34
  Speaker 9: just to be present and to be give myself all
• 23:37
  Speaker 9: for each play or each game. And you know, I
• 23:39
  Speaker 9: love those guys. They really mean a lot to me.

  Speaker 9: doing that, and they work relentlessly and it is it
• 23:57
  Speaker 9: is crazy. They it's a year long. They get like

• 24:03
  Speaker 9: and they they just keep going. Their high energy people,
• 24:05

• 24:38
  Speaker 6: He calls himself the Shnowman, Dean Dawkins, A right blah
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: blah blah blah blah, and like we're all.
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: Kind of smiling.
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: There's a quote from Dion I'm just gonna read this
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: is a Broadway the notebook.
• 24:48
  Speaker 7: Okay, I have it right here. I'm not off books. Sorry, everybody.
• 24:51
  Speaker 7: This is Dion on the Jets. I hate them, all
• 24:54
  Speaker 7: of them.
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: There's people who play the sport because they love the sport,
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: and there's people who play the sport just to be cool.
• 24:59
  Speaker 7: Those are a bunch of guys who just want to
• 25:01
  Speaker 7: take pictures on Ig. That's whack. Now, that's Dion Dawkins.
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: That's his monologue. And then you come on stage, you
• 25:07
  Speaker 7: get your spot. Like, but what's your response as your
• 25:09
  Speaker 7: character on the Broadway stage.
• 25:11
  Speaker 9: I'm a Broadway stage. I'm more of a person who
• 25:13
  Speaker 9: actually let my play do the talking. I do think
• 25:15
  Speaker 9: it's interesting a guy telling us that, you know, we
• 25:17
  Speaker 9: like to take Ig pictures when he's on podcasts with
• 25:19
  Speaker 9: his shirt off, and you know, you know, so you
• 25:22
  Speaker 9: know that's interesting. But that's just my opinion. But I'm
• 25:25
  Speaker 9: a guy who you know, we'll see him a couple
• 25:26
  Speaker 9: of times a year, so I'll be.
• 25:27
  Speaker 7: Fun a couple of times the year.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: That's good.
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: This guy's the best, awesome tell us you know, I
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: know you do it so much work with mental health,
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: and you really become known for that outside of football.
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: What can people learn about what you're doing right now.
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: I know you're doing a lot of work, so tell
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: the people go ahead.
• 25:41
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, you know my family that we have
• 25:43
  Speaker 9: the foundation called the Defensive Line. You can check us
• 25:45
  Speaker 9: out at thedefensive line dot org.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: But you know, we do a lot of work.
• 25:48
  Speaker 9: We go around a certain schools, businesses, and you know,
• 25:50
  Speaker 9: we teach teachers, coaches, anyone, mentor of youth how to
• 25:54
  Speaker 9: you know, really be equipped with mental health, how to
• 25:56
  Speaker 9: teach our students, how to take care of them, how
• 25:57
  Speaker 9: to create environment where everyone one could be safe, you know,
• 25:59
  Speaker 9: connecting with their local resources and know where therapy is, counseling, meditation, journally,
• 26:04
  Speaker 9: whatever it is that you need to keep people here.
• 26:06
  Speaker 9: I've been very fortunate my life to learn from you know,
• 26:09
  Speaker 9: my sister dying by suicide and learn how to you know,
• 26:11
  Speaker 9: and going through my own mental journey and being in
• 26:13
  Speaker 9: a dark place and getting out of the dark place
• 26:15
  Speaker 9: from therapy. So I go around like letting people know
• 26:17
  Speaker 9: it's okay not to be okay, that you know, it's
• 26:19
  Speaker 9: okay to get help. Getting help is the most you know,
• 26:21
  Speaker 9: couragous thing you can do for yourself. So every day
• 26:23
  Speaker 9: you know, I'm trying to live a life to encourage
• 26:25
  Speaker 9: people to be here, to stay here, and suicide is
• 26:27
  Speaker 9: the most preventable death, but people are afraid to talk
• 26:29
  Speaker 9: about it. But in the end of the day, like
• 26:31
  Speaker 9: everyone is going through it, and it is so important
• 26:33
  Speaker 9: to be vulnerable to understand that is strength to make
• 26:36
  Speaker 9: sure we create an environment where people can have safe places,
• 26:38
  Speaker 9: can stay here and be here. It's one of the
• 26:40
  Speaker 9: greatest responsibilities in my life to be a mentalth advocate,
• 26:42
  Speaker 9: to go around the world talking about this work because
• 26:45
  Speaker 9: there's not enough men who do it.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: There's enough people who.
• 26:48
  Speaker 9: Do it who look like me, who are big, strong players,
• 26:50
  Speaker 9: who you know, I'm a sensitive person. I go through depression,
• 26:53
  Speaker 9: i go through anxiety. I've been through hard times. To
• 26:55
  Speaker 9: understand that's okay, Like, we don't have to live this
• 26:57
  Speaker 9: life where you know, everything is like you all highlight
• 26:59
  Speaker 9: social media, you know all good like life is about
• 27:02
  Speaker 9: the ups and down, it's about the sad times. And
• 27:04
  Speaker 9: we can realize that you can be sad and you
• 27:05
  Speaker 9: can be anxious and still have a good day, and
• 27:07
  Speaker 9: I understand that you're not crazy for that. You know,
• 27:09
  Speaker 9: that's when you understand the real beauty of life.
• 27:12
  Speaker 7: Beautiful, beautiful. We love you, man, We really do.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: We love guards guy.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: Awesome player, renaissance man, Solomon Thomas, thanks for joining us.
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: Man, have a great day, Mace Wind.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: Thank you for.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: My favorite character. I'm rooting for Sally.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: You know, he really walks the walk. In addition to
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: talking the talk his work with the Mental Health space.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: In the mental health space, he said he did a
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: thirty five minute keynote speech. He referenced it in his
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: in his interview. His sister is a victim of suicide,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: and Solomon Thomas has taken that and instead of putting
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: it in a corner or running away, has said, I
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: want to speak to everyone out there who deals with depression,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: who also deals with family members who have succumb to
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: such a fate. And I think he's a beautiful man.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: And he says it, He's like, I look like this.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: I'm a football player, but I have down times. I've
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: gone through some downtime and I'd love to be able to,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: you know, speak on it's okay to say you're not okay.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: It just an unbelievable guy. And I remember him when
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: he was drafted and you know this is a guy
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: who's number three overall pick. So you're talking about someone
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: who's you know, quote unquote a bust. And meanwhile you
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: talk to the Jets and they're like, he's the ultimate pro,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: He's the face of our team.
• 28:25
  Speaker 7: He's one of the veterans.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: We love this guy and so happy for him that
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: he's found a place in New Jersey with the Jets
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: where he could be himself and is thriving. Our last
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: interview of the day is with maybe the best pure
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: talent on the defense and a guy who he has
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: fallen in love with the past two years. He's twenty
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: three years old and he's one of the only household
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: names that just goes by one name in football with
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: no further ado. Here's Sauce, Mister Sauce Gardner. We're here
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: with one of our favorite players in the league, one
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: of the biggest stars in the league. And he's right here,
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: and he's in our in Sauce Garner with sandals that
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: say SG. You can't see him there on the camera,
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: but incredible.
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: You look great.
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: How you feeling right now?
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: Dare I feel great?
• 29:14
  Speaker 10: You know it's training camp, but you know I was
• 29:17
  Speaker 10: telling the cornerbacks we just got.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: To not make the not make it too much.
• 29:20
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 29:21
  Speaker 10: I know it's training camp and the energy is gonna
• 29:23
  Speaker 10: be high, but you gotta treat it like any other
• 29:25
  Speaker 10: work that he.
• 29:26
  Speaker 7: Says, the best you've ever felt in the camp.
• 29:28
  Speaker 10: Yeah, just being up here For the ones that don't know,
• 29:32
  Speaker 10: I trained here at the Jets facility, So just being
• 29:35
  Speaker 10: up here and the coaches knowing everything that I need
• 29:37
  Speaker 10: to work at and everything that I.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: Just need to get better at, it's easier.
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 29:41
  Speaker 10: Obviously I live in Jersey, and you know, probably like
• 29:44
  Speaker 10: a couple of weeks after the last game, I was
• 29:47
  Speaker 10: back to it, you know what I'm saying, And like
• 29:49
  Speaker 10: the majority of the league probably take a few weeks,
• 29:52
  Speaker 10: three or four weeks or probably even longer, but you know,
• 29:55
  Speaker 10: I trusted the process. I trusted what they said by
• 29:58
  Speaker 10: just taking like a couple of weeks a week or
• 30:00
  Speaker 10: two often getting back to it, and you know, I'm
• 30:02
  Speaker 10: feeling great.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: I think that's really interesting because I think most of
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: the league goes to Miami, Arizona.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: You know, they're down in Texas. You could be anywhere.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: You're a Detroit native, right, you could be anywhere you
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: choose to stay in Floria Park, New Jersey during the
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: winter months and train here. What's that mean about? What's
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: I tell you about your commitment to this team in
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: this building right here?
• 30:21
  Speaker 10: Man, I have a huge amount of commitment to this team.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: And it's not just me.
• 30:25
  Speaker 10: It's the commitment that the coaches have to me as well.
• 30:28
  Speaker 10: You know the fact that they have my best interest
• 30:31
  Speaker 10: vice versa. And you know, like I said, me just
• 30:33
  Speaker 10: trusting the process and them just instilling all the things
• 30:36
  Speaker 10: in me that I need to learn, and me just
• 30:38
  Speaker 10: soaking up all of the knowledge and just getting stronger
• 30:41
  Speaker 10: in the weight room, getting faster.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: And more explosive.
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: All of that.
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: I'm interested because's like, you've done so well in your
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: young career. You're already respected, you're already heralded. All the
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: conversations about best Corner eight you talk about you.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: So it would be very easy to.
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: Be like, I'm good, Like I'll go to Hawaii for
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: a while, I'll chill. But and yet you're doubling down.
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: What is it you're trying to get to? Like what
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: do you want to be?
• 31:01
  Speaker 10: Man?
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: It's like I really don't know. Yeah, I want to
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: get to a point.
• 31:06
  Speaker 10: But I can't even imagine, you know, in my mind,
• 31:08
  Speaker 10: like you mentioned, like why my first time going out
• 31:12
  Speaker 10: the country is gonna be when we play the Vikings, So.
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: Is that right?
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 31:15
  Speaker 10: I don't really take trips, you know, cause I feel
• 31:17
  Speaker 10: like it's just me personally. I don't have nothing against
• 31:19
  Speaker 10: people who take trips.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: To me personally.
• 31:21
  Speaker 10: I just feel like you too comfortable with your lifestyle
• 31:26
  Speaker 10: or are you trying to escape your lifestyle by going
• 31:27
  Speaker 10: out the country. I always want to be to a
• 31:30
  Speaker 10: point where if I want to, I can go train
• 31:33
  Speaker 10: and I can do certain things instead of me just
• 31:35
  Speaker 10: being out the country and is like, man, I can't
• 31:36
  Speaker 10: wait till I get back so I could train, you know.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: So that's my reason.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: There's so much focus in the media and especially on
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: our network and on ESPN about Aaron and Garrett and
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Brice Hall. You guys have a nasty defense. And when
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: we're talking about Quinn and Quincy and c. J. Mosley
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: and yourself and all the other guys that you have
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: around you, talk about that defense and tell us about
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: what you guys have coming for twenty twenty four.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: Man, we got a strong brotherhood. That's what I'm start with.
• 32:07
  Speaker 10: You know, it's not all about the football aspect of
• 32:09
  Speaker 10: each individual.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: It's about the person. You know.
• 32:12
  Speaker 10: We got a cool group of people, you know in
• 32:13
  Speaker 10: that defense, not just the defense, the whole team. So
• 32:16
  Speaker 10: you know, as a defense, we're looking forward to add
• 32:18
  Speaker 10: oning where we left when we left off last season
• 32:21
  Speaker 10: and just continuing to get better.
• 32:22
  Speaker 6: It feels like a lot of the hype and hubbub
• 32:24
  Speaker 6: coming out of training camp early.
• 32:26
  Speaker 7: Is oh my god, Rogers is on fire.
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: Touchdown here, the ball live hit the grownding through this
• 32:30
  Speaker 6: many red zone touchdowns and that's great because that's your guy.
• 32:33
  Speaker 6: But like, eventually, are you like I'm gonna grab one,
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: Like enough of this, Like that's time to grab one.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: Man, I'm gonna be honest, Like it's so hard to
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: intercept him.
• 32:42
  Speaker 7: He doesn't throw interceptions.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: He don't throw interceptions, Like what is different about him?
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: So he can he's one of them quarterbacks.
• 32:49
  Speaker 10: He can put the ball exactly where you want to
• 32:51
  Speaker 10: put the ball.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: So he's gonna throw it to where the receiver can
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: catch it.
• 32:55
  Speaker 10: And you know, me, like I got long arms, so
• 32:57
  Speaker 10: when I'm in good position, it's like the worst I
• 33:00
  Speaker 10: could do is PBu with But it's even hard to
• 33:02
  Speaker 10: even do that going against him, like he would rather
• 33:04
  Speaker 10: the ball go out of mounds if the receiver on
• 33:06
  Speaker 10: has the ball and put it to where it's a
• 33:08
  Speaker 10: fifty to fifty ball across the middle or on the
• 33:10
  Speaker 10: outride or something like that, and you know.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: It just good work.
• 33:13
  Speaker 10: You know, as a defense, we call him a liar
• 33:16
  Speaker 10: because a lot of times where he's looking and it's
• 33:18
  Speaker 10: not where the ball is going. So just he helped
• 33:22
  Speaker 10: the whole defense have better I discipline, and you know,
• 33:24
  Speaker 10: he just make us.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: Better at each and every day.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: Last last offseason when he signed with the Jets or
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: he was traded and we had this this Aaron Rodgers offseason,
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: you and him went to the nickname Sack Courtsidne, went
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: to Carbone, had dinner.
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: You guys hit it off.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: Now it's not like you guys are two years apart,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: seventeen years apart. What's the relationship between you and Aaron Rodgers.
• 33:44
  Speaker 10: It's like, I'm surprised every time somebody tell me he's
• 33:47
  Speaker 10: forty because he don't really act like it. Like he
• 33:51
  Speaker 10: acts very mature, but he don't act like a forty
• 33:54
  Speaker 10: year older. You know, he got swag, He cool, you know,
• 33:57
  Speaker 10: a great sense of humor. You know, he's a funny cat.
• 34:01
  Speaker 10: So you know, we have a great relationship. You know,
• 34:03
  Speaker 10: I can talk to him about anything. He can talk
• 34:05
  Speaker 10: to me about anything will So I'm in the process.
• 34:08
  Speaker 10: I was building a home and he was just telling
• 34:10
  Speaker 10: me the things that I need to get in it,
• 34:12
  Speaker 10: you know, recovery wise, and I'm like, hey, he really
• 34:14
  Speaker 10: cared about me in my recovery and my body.
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: And stuff like that.
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: So I remember when he was with the Packers, there
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: would become a point where some of his really young
• 34:21
  Speaker 6: teammates were like, I don't get his references, like he
• 34:24
  Speaker 6: references the big Lebowski and like stuff that I don't know.
• 34:27
  Speaker 6: So when he jokes with you, like does does he
• 34:29
  Speaker 6: mix in the young content or timeless stuff like what
• 34:32
  Speaker 6: is the material?
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: Nah, he don't really.
• 34:34
  Speaker 10: I don't think he does things like that, you know,
• 34:37
  Speaker 10: with me or any of the other younger guys, because
• 34:41
  Speaker 10: he probably just know that we won't understand it.
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: He's talking to hacking and doubting.
• 34:46
  Speaker 7: Yeah, tied the room together.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: So the things he say I can relate with.
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: You know, when when he says it all right, well, listen,
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: Rogers is forty You know who's thirty.
• 35:00
  Speaker 7: Tyreek Hill.
• 35:01
  Speaker 6: Tyreek Hill was just named the number one player in
• 35:05
  Speaker 6: all of the NFL, as voted on by you guys,
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: the players you guard him a couple of times a year,
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: maybe three times a year. What was it like reacting
• 35:13
  Speaker 6: to that news for you? The number one player in
• 35:14
  Speaker 6: the NFL is the Dolphins wide receiver.
• 35:16
  Speaker 10: Man, It's crazy, cause I've been looking through comments of
• 35:20
  Speaker 10: like other other people just to see, like are these
• 35:24
  Speaker 10: other players getting hate? Like I'll be receiving hate, And
• 35:26
  Speaker 10: I'm just like, hey, there's really a lot of people
• 35:29
  Speaker 10: saying that he don't deserve to be the number one player,
• 35:30
  Speaker 10: And like it shocked me a little bit, you know,
• 35:33
  Speaker 10: but me personally, I think it's well deserved. You know,
• 35:38
  Speaker 10: you got defense, You got guys who gotta change their
• 35:40
  Speaker 10: whole defense because of him. You know, he's been around
• 35:43
  Speaker 10: for a minute, and uh, he's a guy that's hard
• 35:45
  Speaker 10: to guard. You know, He's gonna present a challenge every time.
• 35:47
  Speaker 10: And like I said, I think he deserves it. I
• 35:50
  Speaker 10: see he change this contract up a little bit. My
• 35:54
  Speaker 10: time to lead that that's a lot of money. Yeah,
• 35:56
  Speaker 10: that's a lot of money.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: Like I was lost the words when I've seen that.
• 36:00
  Speaker 7: You're never lost for words.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 36:03
  Speaker 10: I was like, he's really just changing this contract left
• 36:06
  Speaker 10: right for real every off season.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: A lot of money.
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: Yes, keep on saying how much money is it?
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: I think it was like, what was it thirty a
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: year three?
• 36:15
  Speaker 7: It's a lot of money.
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: But honestly, thots like, I'm not saying this because you're here,
• 36:19
  Speaker 6: like you've played well against him and people out there,
• 36:22
  Speaker 6: and the numbers are out there and the fans know it.
• 36:24
  Speaker 6: You do better against Tyreek than most corners do.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: Why, I don't know. I feel like I can't.
• 36:31
  Speaker 10: I can't say like I'm more locked in when I
• 36:33
  Speaker 10: play against him, because I'm always locked in.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 36:37
  Speaker 10: Just my preparation throughout the week, you know, going out
• 36:40
  Speaker 10: there on Sundays or whatever days we play, and just
• 36:43
  Speaker 10: trusting my preparation because you know you're gonna fall back
• 36:45
  Speaker 10: my preparation when the lights get the writers.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: So you mentioned Rogers. One of rogers great passions is
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: the sport of golf.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: Let's go.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: We're looking at your off season content threat the best,
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: and you're picking up the callaways, you're hitting the ball
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: and you have a perfect stroke out of the gates,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: like your technique is perfect. It's very frustrating for a
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: man like myself who has taken lessons, who goes out
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: to the driving range.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: I'm terrible. Yeah, so good.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: He's still thinking about Trek's money, like Tyreek.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: Thirty millions much. I'm trying to get that in. It was,
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: it was understood.
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: To say the golf When did you pick it up?
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: And how into it were you this off season?
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: And what have you heard from the golf community, because you.
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: Know, here's what.
• 37:34
  Speaker 7: A lot of suggests.
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: So what was your experience of the golf world?
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: So I picked it up at the beginning of the
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: off season.
• 37:40
  Speaker 10: I want to say the beginning of the off season
• 37:43
  Speaker 10: or the middle of the off season.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: It was one of those.
• 37:46
  Speaker 10: But you know, I was just so overwhelmed, you know
• 37:50
  Speaker 10: when I went to play, because I already knew I
• 37:52
  Speaker 10: wasn't gonna gonna do good, you know, you know, my
• 37:55
  Speaker 10: first damn gates. No, So I had to go play
• 37:57
  Speaker 10: a course like I shot like one hundred and something. Well,
• 38:00
  Speaker 10: you know, it was hurting, humbling sports.
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it humbled me.
• 38:04
  Speaker 10: And you know me, I just record my swing or
• 38:07
  Speaker 10: take pictures and just I put it on Twitter because
• 38:10
  Speaker 10: I'm the type of person.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: I'm not a Hollywood type athlete.
• 38:13
  Speaker 10: I would really like interacting with people and making people's day,
• 38:17
  Speaker 10: you know. But there was just so many people that
• 38:20
  Speaker 10: was just saying, you need to do this, you need
• 38:22
  Speaker 10: to do that. And mind you, I'm on the course
• 38:24
  Speaker 10: looking so I'm like, okay, you're reading some guy around
• 38:30
  Speaker 10: and I'm like, this does makes sense right here. So
• 38:32
  Speaker 10: I'm putting it to use and I'm like, oh, that
• 38:34
  Speaker 10: kind of worked a little bit. So ill versed mine again.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: Thank you for thank you for getting double POKEE eleven
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: says that should change.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: My sweet Okay, I will.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 38:41
  Speaker 10: So I was going I was going through it and
• 38:43
  Speaker 10: then I found I found a guy named Aaron who
• 38:47
  Speaker 10: he trained guys like Rook, Max Mitchell, Jeremy Rucker, Max
• 38:52
  Speaker 10: Mitchell and those.
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: Two of the best golfers on the team.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, he got me right.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: Have you have you played with anyone cool? Have you
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: had a chance to get out on the course. I
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: know what season were locked down, but has there been
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: a cool golf experience since you picked up? Because I
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: even I know my my golfriend's like he saw Scardner's
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: playing golf. Do you think he wants to play like
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: our club like you and like no, no, no, guys,
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: he doesn't want to play josh as after playing with Tiger.
• 39:16
  Speaker 10: No, that's what I'm saying. I'm not one of those
• 39:17
  Speaker 10: type of guys. Like I went to the course up
• 39:20
  Speaker 10: the street, Pittsbrook, Okay, and I got it to the
• 39:23
  Speaker 10: point where every time I went, I was playing with
• 39:25
  Speaker 10: one of the younger guys that worked there.
• 39:27
  Speaker 7: The pros or something, the golf pro.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: No, I don't know.
• 39:30
  Speaker 7: He's probably like an amateur, drives the ball cart.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I was playing. I was playing with him.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: Cool guy. I played golf.
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: Wo was solid.
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: I didn't know Solo was good.
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: And he got big off the t right, come on,
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: he's nice.
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: I wasn't expecting it. I heard I heard a lot
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: about him. But you know, he got a good.
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: Swing, Oh my god.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: Disciplined, very disciplined.
• 39:53
  Speaker 7: He's got a good swing. He's got a great corner.
• 39:54
  Speaker 7: He got a great team.
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: The Beasts so fun.
• 39:57
  Speaker 7: You're just so chilled and so relaxed and so good
• 40:02
  Speaker 7: us in the entire NFL. He loves Northern New Jersey and.
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: We love you you got a.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: Couple of things on Sauce Gardener, because if you're listening,
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: you don't get the full visual. He comes in with
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: the full grill, comes in with the bedazzled slides on,
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: and you're like, all right, sauce Gardener, where the crazy
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: gold chain of like the hot sauce at the at
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: the draft. Like this guy's got a huge personality. Then
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: you listen to him, he's like an old soul, Like
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: he's just smart and he's hard working and he's grounded.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: Couple notes from that interview. One he chooses to spend
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: his off seasons living in Florham Park, New Jersey. Now
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: you might think, okay, of course he's a jet in
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: like New York City. He spends his off he does
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: not spend it. He doesn't go to the city much.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: It doesn't sound like he's a city guy. He spends
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: it in the suburbs of floram Park, New Jersey, which,
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: having just been there, is strip mall after strip mall
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: after strip mall, Starbucks, Panera, bread, dunkin Donuts, chop salad,
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: like that's what we're talking about. And he does that
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: because he's committed to being at the Jets facility every
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: days where he trains. So a lot of these guys
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: go to Arizona, they go to Florida, they go to Hawaii,
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: they go to Mikonos. This dude chooses to be in
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: Jersey as a young kid. You heard him in the interview.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: He's never been outside the country.
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: Never.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: He's going week five when they play the Vikings, and
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: it's like, that's gonna be the first trip outside the country,
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: first trip to Europe, first role, global experience for him.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: And it's like, he's just not that guy as much
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: as you think he's flashy, and he's like, you know,
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: Sauce Gardener, and he's got the nickname, and he plays
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: with you know, he doesn't have a big mouth. He's
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: very self spoken, and I think he is just so
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: dedicated to his craft. I loved talking to Sauce today. Second,
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: he must have mentioned Tyreek Hill's new contract a thousand times. No,
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: in all honesty, probably about five or six times. And
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: Tyreek has reset the barometer for what we're making as
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: a receiver. I think Sauce Gardner, who's gonna be up
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: for a contract rather soon, is gonna set the standard
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: for what we're paying Corners, and I don't think he
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: is being subtle about it, like he wants to get
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: paid and he's going to do it this year. The
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: Rogers Sasus relationships interesting seventeen year difference, and yet these
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: two guys, they seem like they're really good friends. And
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: Saw said it there, like Rogers is just cool. He's
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: cool and he relates to the younger guys, and I
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: think that's.
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: Gonna be key.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: My closing thought on the Jets and why I think
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: they're winning now team when they had to find a
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: backup quarterback, they didn't draft a rookie in the second round.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: They didn't go They signed Tyrod Taylor and they gave
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: him real money and he's thirty five years old. That
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: tells me they win now because last year they had
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: Zach Wilson and it wasn't like they were caught with
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: their pants down. Zak Wilson was number two overall pick
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: and it started a bunch of games in this league,
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: but it just wasn't happening. It was they couldn't get
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: to where they needed to be. This year, they leave
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: no room for error. They bring in Tyrod, who I
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: was watching today and is dialed in and looks great
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: like if Rogers, God forbid goes down. And I don't
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: even like saying it out loud, but he is. It's
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: a forty year old guy coming off from Achilles. Tyrod
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: Taylor can win you games. They are not here to
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: just kind of put up some defensive effort and not
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: score points. Tyrod can move the ball. And you know what,
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: they got him from the Crosstown Giants because they paid
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: him more. Tyrod Taylor's legit, and he's a legit. Number two.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: You're talking about a skill position bonanza with what they've
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: got on offense. And then of course you've got this
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: loaded defense at all three levels, and we heard three
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: of them just now. It's hard for me not to
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: fall in love with the Jets. And it might be
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: just recency bias. It might just be well they're local
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: and you're in the mix. I don't know. I look
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: at the perfect storm here. Jets have this great vibe
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: going under the radar. Bills this offseason lost Digs, they
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: lost Gabe Davis. The Dolphins they lost you know, Christian
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: Wilkins and Xavian Howard and Van Ginkel, and then of
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: course the Patriots are in pure rebuilding mode, like this
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: is the year that the Jets should win the AFC East.
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: They should at least compete with the Dolphins and Bills,
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: and they may be on paper, are better than both.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: Those are my dispatches from Jets camp. I am playing.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: I'm being at Giants camp tomorrow joint practice Lions and Giants.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: I can give my takeaways. Aaron, do you think we
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: could swing this tomorrow for a podcast.
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, as long as you promised me that you're gonna
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: do like a field goal kick while you're there or something.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: You got to show up Kyle, now I think yeah, no, no, no, no, no,
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: don't dude. That's that's Kyle. That let him be the physical.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: I am the intellectual, the guy with the insights. Kyle
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: is the creative. He's the one who does things like
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: throw forty yard passes to Aaron Rodgers. I wouldn't even
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: dare attempt it. I appreciate you hopping on. I hope
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: you Jets fans can get excited from this. Those are
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: three great interviews, three great players, and the sky is
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: the limit. But of course it's early August. We're recording
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: this on Monday, August fifth. This is an annual tradition
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: getting excited about the Jets.
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: I'm no dummy.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: I know how this usually goes. Buyer beware, and yet
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: I think I'm falling in love. Till next time. This
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: is Peter Scherger. This this season will continue to be
• 45:01
