00:00Cause immediate reaction. What did you think of the news here as the Jets lose one of their best
00:05players? Yeah. I mean, you go a few different directions, Ryan, right? I mean, first and
00:10foremost, I feel for the player, um, AVT has been a really solid guy, uh, in the locker room. He's
00:16been good with the media. He, you know, he's respectful. Uh, I like him. So my first thoughts
00:22went to him and, uh, obviously it's a big year for him contract wise. And he's had these injury
00:28issues in 2022, 2023. So you feel for him first. Um, and then second, you start thinking about what
00:35it means football wise. And obviously we've talked a whole lot this off season about how the Jets
00:40wanted to run the ball and the offensive line was going to be the kind of the strength of the team
00:45along with the running backs. And now this alters the plan. Um, you know, if he's out and it looks
00:51like he'll be out for the season and if he's out for the season, that that's tough. Like, you know,
00:56we talked about this a lot with Aaron Rogers in 2023 and you're okay with a backup for three or
01:02four games. That's what they're there for. They're NFL players. When it gets difficult is when you have
01:07a backup that has to play 17 games, uh, a lot of Zach Wilson in 2023. Right. Uh, and now you're
01:15sliding. I think, I mean, I'm guessing that they're going to slide Joe Tippman to right guard
01:19and start Josh Myers at center. We saw that when Simpson was hurt, John Simpson was hurt in training
01:24camp on the other side, they moved Tippman to guard. So I think that's what we're assuming.
01:28I think Tippman is an okay guard. He's not ABT, but I think he'll be right there. I think he,
01:33Josh Myers is not as good as Joe Tippman and center. So you're, you're going, you're downgrading at that
01:38position. Um, so it's tough. And then, but thirdly, I don't know if I'm wrong with man. Like they really
01:44made it through training camp without any serious injuries. Right. Like it was one of those things you
01:47whisper about, right. Cause you don't want jinx anyone, but I thought it a few times in training
01:52camp, like there hasn't been that injury in training camp that happens sometimes. And they
01:57get here to, you know, a few days before the first game and suffer this kind of injury.
