It seems like the Jets are going to be without Hassan Redick for the foreseeable future.

The defense should still be good, but good and good enough might be two different things.

Let's discuss today on Locked on Jets.

Visit Fandual.com to get started. Today we have our weekly mailback show each Wednesday. We try to do a mailbag with listener questions, and unsurprisingly, most of our questions this week are about Hassan Reddick. And if you haven't been following, maybe you're on vacation and you haven't checked out the news. Earlier this week, Hassan Reddick requested a trade from the New York Jets. He escalated his holdout. He was already holding out seeking a new contract. Now he wants out. He wants a trade, which is quite interesting because, you know, he hasn't participated in a practice yet as the member of the Jets. might be the first time it's ever happened that the player has been traded to a new team and then wants to, wants a second trade before he even practices with his new team.

So let's begin with our mailbag questions.

Our first one, John, even without Hassan Redick, I still feel pretty good about this Jets defense.

There's still a lot of talent on the defensive line.

The Jets seem pretty solid across the board on defense.

How worried should I be?

Well, I think it's a nuanced question because I think even without Hassan Redick, this defense is shaping up to be very good.
