| 0:00.0 | Well, joining us right now, a guy does a great job covering the NFL, the Jets and the Giants for |
| 0:04.3 | SNY. |
| 0:05.4 | Connor, how you doing today, man? |
| 0:20.5 | I'm doing well, guys. How are you? I'm all right. So what does this say? Before we get to the Giants stuff, the Jets trade for a cornerback in Jarvis Brownlee, is that them admitting that Brandon Stevens stinks? Like, how do you take this? No, I think they just need some reinforcements. |
| 0:37.7 | I know fans are really high on A. Z. Thomas, but the fact is that the guys are rookie, it's going to take time for him to get ready. And he was considered someone who is a bit raw coming in anyway. There's really not too much behind him. Stevens has been an issue. Soss Gardner struggling a bit. And I think the Quincy Williams injury was a wake-up call that the depth can very quickly become a concern concerning what the judges are going to have to do |
| 0:41.7 | now with him out. So I think they saw this as a guy who they, I'm sure Mugi did, had a pretty |
| 0:48.1 | decent grade on a little bit ago. And so for a pick swap, why not give it a chance and see if |
| 0:54.1 | he doesn't acclum safe. Acclimate himself a little bit better. And so for a pick swap, why not give it a chance and see if he doesn't acclum |
| 0:55.0 | stave. |
| 0:55.4 | Acclimate himself a little bit better to this scheme as opposed to the one in Tennessee. |
| 0:59.9 | But you were just reading off the stats, man. The penalties are a concern with Sammy the |
| 1:03.4 | handy player. But the one thing that actually stood out to me, just doing very, very quick |
| 1:08.2 | research before I hopped on here with you guys. Pro football |
| 1:11.4 | focus is in no way to shape or end all of evaluating a player, but he received some pretty |
| 1:17.3 | noticeably high marks as a run defender. Oh, interesting. Yeah, 77.7 mark last year, |
| 1:24.8 | or 77.7 marks so far this year, 835 a year ago um those are the the jets have |
| 1:31.9 | been pretty terrible tackling 16 missed tackled last week 10 a week before that eight a week before that |
| 1:37.0 | so uh maybe at the minimum he can be a bit more physical player and help with that Connor how were |
| 1:41.6 | the jets planning just to see on the gym them real quick before we hop over to the Giants and the Jackson Dart News that we've been talking |
| 1:46.7 | about all afternoon? But with Quincy Williams now short-term IR, you talk about the |
| 1:52.8 | tackling issues, it's even more compounded now. Is there a mitigation of this? What do you do? |
| 1:58.6 | Well, it's either going to be McCrary. I don't know, man. I mean, it's kind of an issue. Now, don't get me wrong, like, Quincy's been struggling. Like, it's been, it's been an issue for him this year. I don't think, I think he's swimming a little bit in terms of elements of a new scheme, thinking more than just playing, which |
