00:01i would expect him to kind of be a little bit of a rotational designated pass rusher i i think
00:06if
00:06you expect james pierce to go out there and get um personally i don't expect him to go out there
00:12and get like 70 of the snaps or anything like that like i always thought that pierce was a much
00:16better pass rusher than uh run stopper anyways and obviously i mean that's kind of a known but
00:23i'm just saying like he was much much better in the in the pass rush game than he was in
00:30the run
00:30stopping um and i thought jalen walker was honestly good at both last year so i expect him to be
00:37in in
00:38in only pass rush situations personally now maybe i'm wrong in that um but but they also are getting
00:47that roster exemption and they released two guys so i'm curious in what they're what what this
00:53roster is going to look like uh honestly when we leave today or maybe they'll wait and just carry
00:59you know they can if they want their own guys from practice squad and stuff they can they can make
01:03those moves but you don't want to they've already made the moves of who's not going to be on the
01:06roster in other words like so anybody will be added will probably be with us today it does seem and
01:13maybe you have a better grip on this than i do it does feel like this i'm gonna call them
01:19an
01:19administration with kevin and ian and matt have been a little more cutthroat in terms of how they
01:28how they deal with roster management like jared ivy's a guy obviously you brought over at the you
01:33know when at the cut down day and you thought oh hey he plays with a level of physicality did
01:37not
01:37play i mentioned this on the show did not play well last week and then did not play well against
01:41sampa bay and um you know he's a physical dude in a bigger body just lacks like the twitchiness that
01:47i think that you need to play up front and jeff olbrick's defense just very kind of methodical
01:51the way he moves around on the field so when i saw that to me and it's like bo just
01:56said this is not
01:57like to me this is almost not james pierce related i think drake jackson is yes i agree with that
02:03one
02:03the jared ivy one is like oh okay like because i think you're right i think i think to me
02:08they play
02:09completely different roles like james pierce is going to be a pass rush specialist at least in the
02:13beginning which is a good thing i think when i think if you react to last week's game you're like
02:17no
02:17we need a run stopper no no cincinnati threw the ball like 50 times last week like you need somebody
02:23that can rush the passer no doubt and you need him to come in with fresh legs and to play
02:26with
02:26his hair on fire but the jared ivy thing i'm like they just simply just cut him because he's playing
02:30bad like he he wasn't bringing much to the table played less than 20 snaps played about the same
02:35amount uh amount last week and it was just very like lackadaisical almost i think what should be
02:40pointed out for me when you say more cutthroat is i have noticed over the last few years that this
02:46that
02:47that it would the terry fontano era when he was here he was very much hey they'll sign a guy
02:52this
02:52week and then or for or or to the practice squad one and he'll be up for that week because
02:59of who
03:00you're facing and then that guy would be gone the next week this and i think what your point is
03:06is that with this staff it's like hey they'll they bring you into the active roster it means they
03:11think you can play every week but if you don't show up every week you're you don't the hook is
03:19a
03:19lot quicker than not you know and and mike's point like ivy got decleted by a tight end last week
03:24now
03:25he's gone um yeah and and i i believe that that the drake jackson move again was that was what
03:33pierce
03:33was was who he was cut for pierce they're going to sign someone else um and maybe with that roster
03:41i guess they can sign two people mike or you you know or you're you're going to move somebody up
03:47so
03:47i'm curious and who is out there that they think can come in and be that run stopper to replace
03:55jared ivy because remember jared ivy was a um a post training camp cuts signing and in fact you would
04:05set your roster zach harrison was on it then zach harrison is off of it for jared ivy now you
04:11got
04:11zach harrison back and he's back on the active roster and that was a move that you didn't want
04:16to do but you did it because you thought jared ivy could be that guy in the run game zach
04:20harrison's
04:20been much better and the on and in totality on this defense can i throw a quick conspiracy theory
04:26out there and just y'all throw it right back if it doesn't find any footing here sure you didn't
04:31want
04:31one of these guys that you're looking at making a roster move later this week trade deadlines looming
04:36didn't want to carry a guy all the way to spain just to send him back home before the game
04:40starts
04:40is there anything to that well that's what i said that's what i that's exactly i admit like as far
04:44as bringing people in off the trade no no but necessarily but that was yes i agree with you
04:49the deadline's a week away uh from today uh i think or monday one but that was that was my
04:57point
04:57is that anybody that will be on this roster come sunday or on the field sunday is is going to
05:06be
05:06traveling today like i think they're either going to i believe i wholeheartedly believe they're going
05:10to either sign they're going to sign someone today and they're going to elevate someone as well from
05:15the practice squad most likely on defense because of that roster exemption yeah um i agree with that
05:20and that's why you cut those guys yesterday like hey we're not gonna we're gonna pay for you to go
05:23all the way to spain in a hotel room to send you back and a commercial flight well i don't
05:28i don't
05:29think money necessarily has anything to do with it my point just being is that like maybe we can expect
05:32something to happen before the end of this week that's that that's really what my question trade
05:35trade was yeah i i don't even know like i don't know if i feel like the falcons are buyers
05:41or sellers
05:41or either one i don't i don't think you're gonna be buyers i i don't think you're gonna but i
05:47don't
05:47think you're gonna be sellers necessarily either unless this point if you're not either one well depend
05:52on sunday i think some of it does yeah um i i wholeheartedly believe if you see a guy out
05:57there
05:58in the jervon dexter thought process of hey we like we we know a lot about this guy we like
06:05this
06:06guy this guy's on an aspiring contract or he's got a year left of control and it's not overly expensive
06:11we'll we'll give up what position
06:17that's what i struggle with what position i i got two of them i honestly think it would be defense
06:21because i believe if anybody on the on the line
06:27it would have to be a swing tackle if it's going to be a line i don't believe there's any
06:31starting
06:32caliber swing tackle i don't i just don't think there's any i don't necessarily believe that there
06:38will be a starting caliber off tackle or center out there available that you're willing to give up
06:46the draft capital for when you could say we we we know that we can get the job done now
06:55take last
06:56week away but for the most part our offensive line can get the job done within reason we've seen it
07:00happen we can ride this out and we'll just sign that guy in free agency counterpoint i don't know
07:05that a lot of people looked out there and thought jervon dexter was that guy before jervon dexter got
07:10here using about starting caliber tackles like i don't think anybody looked and said oh jervon dexter
07:15as a guy that you're going to want for the foreseeable future i the problem came here played
07:19that way got extended and they knew from past history with ian with chicago that he could be
07:24that guy i think they thought he was that guy i don't believe at all the way this guy talks
07:29and
07:29actually this guy and ian cunningham about draft picks that they made that trade with and giving up
07:36a player and switching picks that they were will that they were willing to not i i always thought he
07:41that was so a smack you in the face to me obvious that you knew everything about him in fact
07:46you
07:47drafted him there he's up after this year you know like to me to me that was the play it
07:54out
07:56i just don't see starting caliber offensive tackle i'm just gonna say tackle because i think that's
08:01where they would upgrade out there that you would give up capital for and be and resign that would be
08:07at a discount because he's your guy suddenly to me i think you you have the money to spend you
08:13would
08:13just go pay the price i think that it would either be for me offensive tackle i do think that
08:17there is
08:18still a chance that you would try to find a linebacker that fits that realm i think well i think
08:23you
08:23obviously as a fan base we love divine he's injured and the guy let's just be let's just put a
08:29point
08:29blank the linebackers are not playing well at all right now it's weird because they had such a good
08:33game against san francisco for the most part as far once i'll say this after the first quarter
08:38they had a good game i thought the first quarter they weren't very good yeah i i do believe you
08:43need
08:43a a a guy that can come in and be what you want him to be and be consistent and
08:51for whatever reason
08:52look i'm gonna tell you something i i literally love the dude i he would i've been around him i
08:57obviously
08:58interviewed him i like christian harris i think he still can be a good player but it clearly shows
09:04what i do and don't know or it's almost like he took someone's rice krispies alley and instead of
09:10putting sugar in it like he put salt or something in it and it's like like who did he make
09:15mad because
09:15he just gets zero time yeah here's what else i'll say i i think that there's probably four or five
09:21trade candidates have you noticed that the jets now have three top 10 picks in next year's draft
09:25oh yeah i've been i mean that i've been listening to people talk about it like what what and now
09:31the
09:31quarterbacks i don't know if it was a real report or not but there was a report out again i
09:35never know
09:36it's real or not anymore on twitter but like they were like hey there's a really good chance that
09:41manning doesn't come out uh there's another uh uh who was it there's another quarterback that
09:46doesn't come out and they're like all guys are the jets i think mensa has to come out doesn't he
09:51i don't know i can't remember but it was it was a couple of guys that would be at the
09:55top
09:55of the list of quarterbacks i all i'm saying is that you look at jesse in last year's deal you
10:00look at diablo in the last year of his deal you look at juan taylor on a one-year deal
10:03you look at
10:04just the list goes on um we would be well served to try to pick up some draft pick before
10:09next two
10:10if michael jarrell wasn't on the ir i could see the taylor thing but you also don't want i mean
10:15you're still trying to figure out in my mind what the quarterback is um
10:23and i i don't think you're willing to to go with cameron williams who hasn't even stayed healthy
10:28himself you don't have a swing tackle really right now hey as a player in the locker room did you
10:32get
10:32a sense of the pieces that might be moving and shifting around you i didn't it's it's way more
10:37big of a deal now and we were for the most part of my career on the upswing and you
10:43know trying to
10:43add pieces much more than guys leaving uh but yeah it just to me thomas wasn't a big in-season
10:50trade guy like it was always happening around the draft and you kind of got a sense for where
10:54they might try to add and subtract from but yeah it's it's a difficult thing
10:57okay
10:57you
10:57you
10:57you
