It's time to go around the league.

0:54.1

You know, certain people would use this entire situation as ammo for other conversations,

0:58.9

but I know you guys won't back down, nor do I expect you to.

1:02.6

Nor should you have to.

Rich Samini, he's writing that the Jets could add a veteran backup before the draft,

1:10.8

and that one team to watch is Tennessee.

1:13.5

That's right.

Aaron, you're going into the eye of the storm. Yeah, we're headed back. Aaron, that's the ice. We're right at the iceberg. That's the iceberg we just tried to avoid.
