Episode Transcript

[00:00:01] Speaker A: The jets and the Raiders are working out a deal to acquire Devontae Adams. [00:00:06] Speaker B: Well, well, well. Here I am. Hey, good to see you, Tank. Good to see you, man. Congrats. [00:00:14] Speaker C: What's up, fellas? [00:00:16] Speaker B: Three, two, one. [00:00:17] Speaker A: Here we go. [00:00:20] Speaker B: Hello. Good evening, everyone. Good evening, Rich. Good evening, Mark. Welcome to another emergency podcast. We've been doing a lot of these lately, especially the last two weeks. Justjets, the podcast. My name is Raz Guevara, along with my co host, Rich McLeod, and our executive producer, Mark Levine. I mean, a lot of shit's been happening over at one jets Drive. I don't think I've ever had such an emotional roller coaster in such a short amount of time like we did last night. Last night we recorded a miserable podcast that went literally 24 hours ago that went over an hour, and we were just, like, so down in the dumps about this team. And slowly, we seem to be all, you know, back on board with this fucking team that we love and hate at the same time. Rich, you weren't with us in our bitch session last night because you were handling real life duties. It was probably for the best. We mentioned that you should have gotten the game ball last night for your decision not to. Not to be part of. Not to be part of the recording session, because you were in Maine handling, you know, grown up responsibilities. But tell me, man. Tell me, tell me, what are your thoughts, your immediate thoughts with this trade? [00:01:39] Speaker C: Yeah. So it was definitely interesting. I just walked in the door back from Maine, which is why this podcast is coming out a little bit later. It's really interesting, though, because I watched the game last night in a cabin in our last night with, like, a bunch of friends, and I almost started laughing at how predictable the futility was of just like, oh, I know exactly how this game is going to end, and it happened the exact same way. And it's just like, damn. I think I crossed the threshold into apathy at that moment, and I kind of just, like, went to sleep, like, okay, whatever. I made the dumb decision to write a newsletter and make a podcast about the jets when it's the Mets going to, you know, the NLCS, maybe the world Series, and just feeling like I've made a lot of bad choices in my life. Slept in a bit today because I'm on vacation from work. And when I woke up, the Devontae Adams trade had happened maybe five minutes before I had woken up. So I'd gone to bed thinking, it's over. I'm emotionally detached. I woke up to seeing that news. And I, I have to say, while I'm happy that they did it and I will talk myself into all of the things in the coming days, being that immediately after, like, continued dejection for the third straight week, I was kind of just like, okay, like, cool, I guess, which is not, you know, it's not like the best analysis. It's not even necessarily logical. It's just like when you cross that point as a fan in a, in a season which happens at certain times, it's kind of hard to, like, come back from it. And to be put in a position where you almost have to come back from it immediately was very unusual. And this is also a trade that we've been hearing about and rumored for not just a couple of weeks, but over a year. So there always kind of felt like there was this eventuality coming to it. So my true initial reaction was really weird with it. I'm definitely excited about it. I'll be updating the Madden roster as soon as it's going to let me do that and we'll get into the analysis of it in a few minutes of how I think it's actually going to help this team in a lot of ways. But, yeah, that was my unusual kind of stilted reaction to it this morning. [00:04:13] Speaker B: And look, man, your, your reaction is, I'm pretty sure, similar to every single person who roots for this team. Mark and I were, you know, we were dejected. We were, we were so, like, just crushed last night because of everything you just mentioned because the team lost in predictable fashion for a third consecutive, you know, game. And we were just wondering out loud whether, is this as good as Aaron Rodgers is going to get? Like, is this, you know, is the end of this elite quarterback? Are we never going to see that player again? And we went to bed and, mark, you, you did your best to try to talk me off the ledge, but, like, we, we legitimately were, like, just depressed last night. And this morning we, we get the news. Mark, tell me, tell me about your, your thought process and tell me what, you know, what was going through your head when you first got that message that, you know, it was potentially happening. And then eventually it happened to, yeah. [00:05:08] Speaker A: I mean, literally 24 hours prior to this recording, we were in our other recording for the game recap and I was slowly making my way onto that ledge with you. Here comes Devontae Adams and he's like. [00:05:23] Speaker B: Rich, I will say you did a terrible job. The voice of reason, the positive guy. Rich and I are supposed to be the just, you know, the. [00:05:34] Speaker A: And I try so hard. I try so hard. But sometimes you. You doubt yourself, and you take a couple of steps, and then here comes Devontae Adams, and he's like, hey, buddy, come on. It's not. It's not. The bed just pops over here. Yeah, come on. You don't want to do this. Give me a hug. We're good. [00:05:53] Speaker B: I mean, look, I went. Experienced the same reaction that rich did. I was so, like, just completely done with this team last night and into this morning, and even when the news happened, I was just like, well, can he tackle? I tweeted, like, can he tackle? Is he gonna fix, you know, me? Is he gonna fix our, you know, our run defense? Is he gonna fix our atrocious, you know, like, just. [00:06:18] Speaker A: I think the message that I sent to you after it happened was, oh, can he set the edge and tackle Josh Allen? [00:06:26] Speaker B: And so I experienced the exact same emotional roller coaster that rich, I. But I'll tell you, man, once I fucking saw him popping up behind Aaron Rogers and the stupid smile on Aaron Rogers's face, and I'm like, God damn it. And I slowly, as the day went by, I'm like, fuck. I am back on board. We. It doesn't take a lot, like, when you love someone and they hurt you, it doesn't take a lot for them to convince you that they're not gonna hurt you anymore. And we've been doing this for. I've been 40 years old. I've been doing this the majority of my life. Like, I've gotten glimpses that I've held onto, that this team will eventually be a successful team, and it takes very little for me to get excited. And this is that little. This is just window dressing. This is, you know, like, you know, going therapy shopping when you're, you know, you're up to your neck and bills. This is the equivalent of that, right? Like, this is like putting a fresh coat of paint on a car that's engine is failing. So, I mean, let's, you know, let's take it out for a spin and see how it rides and how it makes us feel after this. But there are some, like, legitimate football questions that, um, that we need to discuss a little bit. Um, there are some immediate, um, changes that are going to happen to this team. Um, number one being Garrett Wilson. What impact does this have on Garrett Wilson? Uh, rich, and what impact does this have on. On Mike Williams and the rest of the receiving corps? [00:08:00] Speaker C: Yeah, I think, you know, we talked a bit about Devontae Adams in one of our recent podcasts, I can't remember if that was after the Minnesota one or Robert Sala getting fired. There's been a lot lately. [00:08:11] Speaker B: They're all. They're all blending in. They're all blending in. [00:08:13] Speaker C: They're all the same game three times, same emergency podcast. But in terms of Garrett Wilson, I think we talked about it. I think it's going to be really positive for him. I think this allows you to play him in the slot a bit more, you know, not the entire game, but you're going to be able to mix him in there. The defense is going to have to focus on Devante as like the true number one wide receiver who has done it for over a decade and like, still has it. I don't think he's passed his prime to the point where like, some people have suggested, like, he's been playing football with Aidan O'Connell and Gardner Minshew the last two years and like, still puts up pretty good numbers when he plays. I think that attention is going to free a lot of things up, not just for Garrett Wilson, but for Bruce hall, for Braylett Allen if they ever give him the football again, even the tight ends. So I think in that regard it's going to be really positive with Mike Williams. I don't really know. Mike Williams has done the wrong thing on a game, losing interception two weeks in a row. I think he's got like ten or eleven catches the entire year. He has no touchdowns. There are points in every single game where they just seem to forget that he's on the team. And you ask yourself, you know, why did they even really sign this guy? And there was a port a report earlier today that, you know, potentially the jets could be looking to shop Williams now that they have Devontae Adams. I still think that that's really short sighted. Would love to see depth on this team and having depth where with the addition of Adams, where you have, you know, Adams as your number one, Garrett Wilson, Mike Williams, and then you have Lazard, who's been much more productive this year with Rogers, even with all the drops. And then past that, it's like, you know, Xavier Gibson and whoever else is rounding out that unit. That to me looks a lot better than just like I swapping Williams out for Adams. You know, that's still an improvement, but you're still not super deep and an injury away from being in a pretty precarious situation. So, I mean, reading the room today, as much as I was able to, to see things online, it seems like Williams is probably going to wind up out of here, especially with Rogers kind of throwing him under the bus a little bit last night. [00:10:40] Speaker B: Not a little bit. He squared a bit, had him lay and rolled the bus over a few times for good measure this morning as well. [00:10:48] Speaker C: Yeah. So I think they're probably looking to move on from him. I would prefer that they didn't, but, yeah, that's kind of how I see it. [00:11:01] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, I agree with you in the report that just came out a couple hours ago is that the jets are planning to make Mike Williams available for trade after acquiring Devontae Adams. So I agree with you. I think deft is more important. Like injuries happen. You are also trading for a player who, you know, who's, quote unquote coming from a hamstring issue. But there is going to be some time to kind of get acclimated that chemistry. Alan Lazard is a perfect example. You know, once you develop that chemistry, it's like riding a bike, you know. But I agree with you. I feel like the biggest challenge outside of like, the schematic, you know, things working him into the system, the biggest challenge is going to be the locker room. I want to play a clip from Jeff Ulbricht. When he was asked about Mike Williams specifically and how he handles this is going to be critical for the rest of the season. He's been preaching accountability. I mean, if you, you know, if a player continuously makes the same mistake and essentially costs you two games, those two mistakes that allegedly Mike Williams committed cost us two games, one would stand to reason that, you know, you put the player out, you put him out on the market. So let me play you the clip and then tell me what your thoughts are about how Ulbricht handled it becomes of Mike Williams. Now, does he just, first of all, how is he, I mean, with his, with his injury, and secondly, I mean, what becomes of him role wise? [00:12:26] Speaker D: Yeah, he got evaluated for ahead and he cleared the concussion protocol. So from that standpoint, he's good to go. You know, I think we'll, we'll figure that out in the next couple days. How all these pieces kind of fit together. It's a, it's, it's an exciting and a good problem to have because we've got a lot of different guys with a lot of different skill sets that can do a lot of different things. So Todd and his staff will have, you know, some sleepless nights with some good problems. [00:12:56] Speaker B: So, I mean, he didn't quite answer. [00:13:00] Speaker C: Staff, by the way, exactly. [00:13:02] Speaker B: He kind of, like, pushed it off to the side. But Mark, tell me, like, what do you think is going to be the biggest challenge as Ulbricht navigates this, this rather delicate situation with the receiver balancing the death that that is critical for down to stretch potential, guarding for potential injuries and, you know, navigating a locker room that he's been preaching accountability and kind of being helped, being held responsible for paying attention to the details. [00:13:28] Speaker A: Yeah, I think it's a lot easier now than it was 24 hours ago to preach accountability. With the acquisition of Devontae Adams, you can sit Mike Williams down because now you do have that extra guy. I would not trade him. They don't have the depth. Garrett Wilson, Alan Lazard are basically your only receivers right now. Before Devante got there, they're the only ones who have touchdowns, which is really crazy. Only four. Four players have scored touchdowns for the Jets. Garrett Wilson, Alan Lazard, Bruce hall and Braylon Allen. Xavier Gibson has basically been non existent. Malachi Corley can't even be active most games, so we have no idea what. [00:14:15] Speaker C: I forgot him when we went through the receivers. [00:14:19] Speaker A: Yeah, he's. He's completely an afterthought at this point. After they were like, oh, we had a first round grade on him, we tried to trade up in the second round. We're so glad we got him with the first pick in the third round and he's inactive most games. [00:14:32] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:14:32] Speaker A: So you're basically. Your only true receivers were Garrett Wilson and Alan Lazardhenne. Now you have the opportunity, if Mike Williams does anything, you can sit him down and you have Devontae Adams, Garrett Wilson, Alan Lazar to fall back on. You don't hopefully have to run as many multiple tight end sets because the tight end blocking has been a big issue with this team. I think it's much easier. It lessens the stress on everyone else and it does make things a little easier for Jeff Ulbricht to be able to hold players accountable because it's a lot easier to hold players accountable and sit them down for plays or quarters, however long you need, when you do have that depth. [00:15:16] Speaker B: Yeah, no, I agree with you. And it's. Again, it's. We did, we didn't talk about it yesterday, but they did run a lot of three receiver sets, more than I remember in any of the first couple of games. They minimize the usage of the two titan sets and that had a. A lot of impact on the running game. Breeze hall had more run room to run and just various different ways of getting Garrett Wilson involved. Rich, tell me how you think this could potentially impact Garrett Wilson from, you know, just being, you know, a better receiver overall and how it could potentially impact the. The less number of targets that he's going to undoubtedly receive now that, you know, Devontae Adams is going to be lining up alongside him. [00:16:00] Speaker C: Yeah, I mean, you know, we've, we've talked about it in terms of, like, opening things up. Like, yeah, he's going to get less targets. I mean, I believe he's right now the most targeted receiver in, in all football. But, you know, the. He's got a good amount of reception, especially the last two weeks, but, you know, in terms of reception, yards, touchdowns, you know, he's. It's not lining up with the amount of targets that he has. That amount of targets because, one, he's so good, but two, because of how lacking the rest of the guys have been so far. Um, I think this is going to balance the offense a lot more. I think Garrett Wilson's going to do a lot more with a lot less targets now because he's not going to be going up against the number one cornerback all the time. And even if he is, they're not going to be able to do the same things. Like, they're not always going to be able to play, like, do it, throw a double team at him or play a safety over the top on him and also account for Devontae Adam. Like, there's just only so many things that a defense can do to account for these guys and having either. Both of them on the outside or having Devontae on the outside, Garrett lined up on the inside, I think, is going to do a lot for this offense and in terms of just, like, making him a better receiver, you know, obviously, Alan Lazard has been able to kind of, like, teach Garrett Wilson about playing with Aaron Rodgers, but that's only going to go so far, especially when it's coming from a guy who, like, just isn't as talented as, as Garrett Wilson. You know, it's like having a guy who's abjectly worse at everything than you telling you what to do. It's. [00:17:41] Speaker B: How dare you. Alan Lazard is carrying this team offensively and you're denigrating. [00:17:46] Speaker A: I mean, he literally leads the team in touchdowns with five. [00:17:51] Speaker B: Yes, your face says it all. [00:17:55] Speaker C: All that being said, when that's coming from Devontae Adams, who not only has all the experience with Rogers, but has the success, has the pedigree, has been a number one receiver for as long as he has, I think that comes with a lot more weight to it. I think he can just teach things to Garrett naturally that other receivers could not do. And, you know, I think that's going to be a huge experience for him as well. That's basically like having another coach for the wide receivers in a way that they haven't had before, whether it was, you know, like, Lazar just not being capable of, of teaching that to them, or, you know, Garrett just like, not being willing to listen or able to take it all in because of who it's coming from, I think that this is going to be massively beneficial. And, and, yeah, I. They moved the ball the best we've seen them, I probably all year, other than the Patriots game against the bills on Monday night. But the main problem was still, like, they got to the red zone and then everything kind of went to shit. I think, you know, Devante is going to open things up there as well. So. Yeah. In, in terms of, yeah, the X's and o's and what it's going to do for Garrett Wilson and all that stuff, I, I don't see any negatives here. And, you know, when you look at the compensation, I think it's all what we kind of expected. It's a third round pick, which is what we all kind of went in, being like, yeah, that's totally fine. You're all in. Keep being all in because none of these guys are making the picks after this year, if it doesn't go well anyways, and the conditions on it, like, I have no issues with them because, you know, if the jets get to an AFC title game, which is, or Super bowl, which is one of the conditions, other one is Devontae Adams being like, first or second all Pro as a receiver, that means that the jets turn things around and high powered offense became a high powered offense. So if, if that happens, then, yeah, it's worth a second round pick. Um, otherwise, you know, we'll, we'll see how the things go. [00:20:14] Speaker B: Yeah, no, I think you, you, uh, you said two really two things that I want to come back to. Number one, you mentioned the fact that Garrett is the most targeted receiver in football. That being said, he does not lead the league in receptions. Um, just because he's being targeted, um, does not mean he's making these receptions. He, um, they are basically force feeding him in an effort to jumpstart the chemistry between him and Rogers. And I think Devontae Adams is, first of all, when you add more talent to a locker room, it's just a net positive. More often than not, but you're right. He is going to teach him how to be a professional. He's going to teach him in ways that Alan Lazard just simply cannot just because of who he is and the pedigree that he brings. One thing I do like to want to point out is he also brings a certain fire that has been lacking on this team. Devontae Adams is a mercurial wide receiver to a t. Everything that you think of these diva, angry, tossing helmet receivers, that's who he is. He is plays with emotion, plays with anger, screams and yells. And that is something that's been lacking on the sidelines. Like, everybody's so apathetic on the sidelines. Mike Williams is a giant man, but he's soft spoken. He doesn't get angry. You know, I'm saying Lazard, like, there's just like, no fire, no fire on the sidelines. And I'm hoping that Devontae Adams brings, brings that fire with him and infects other people and be like, look, we should care when we're fucking up. We should be angry on the sidelines. We should throw our fucking helmets. We should call each other out and yell each other and get in people's faces. Like, I feel like that's what he's going to bring. And I feel like Aaron Rodgers has been reluctant to do that because he does not want to go back to that because he's, that's, he's been that. And now Devontae Adams gets guests to be the, the bad cop to Aaron Rodgers seemingly playing good cop this entire time. So I'm excited, man. Listen, listen. It doesn't fix all of our problems. It does not fix all of our problems, but if it's going to, if we're not going to play defense and we're not going to shut people down, can we fucking at least outscore them? Can we at least get into shootouts? Like, I mean, at least if we lose in a different way and we can toss out this script that we've been, you know, playing these last three games, I'll be happy. I'll be content. [00:22:37] Speaker C: Maybe we can get a goddamn game winning drive. [00:22:41] Speaker A: We don't need a game winning drive. Hopefully. [00:22:44] Speaker B: Hopefully, we don't need a game winning drive. [00:22:45] Speaker A: Yeah, you come out firing right away and you just cruise from there. [00:22:49] Speaker B: Hopefully we don't have to rely on Greg the leg to miss a field goal. Hopefully we don't have to rely on Michael Clemens to make a tackle. I mean, if those two things happen for us to win, I mean, we're in deep shit anyway. So, um, anyway, gentlemen, thank you very much. I feel like that's a great place for us to end it. Again, I agree with both of you. This does not solve all of our problems, but overall, it's a net positive. Number one. Number two brings a little fucking excitement to us. Like, we've been fucking depressed and had nothing to cheer about. Like, gives us a little something to root for, a little something to hope for. Um, any last thoughts before we, we go back to sleep? [00:23:29] Speaker C: Just one question for both of you. [00:23:33] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:23:33] Speaker C: Does the jets getting Adams change how you expect this game against Pittsburgh to go on Sunday night? [00:23:43] Speaker B: For me, and I'm sorry, Mark, I'm cutting you off. For me. It does for a couple of different reasons. Justin Fields is not playing. It's going to be Russell Wilson. They've announced him as the starter. Devontae Adams. There was initial questions whether he was going to play. He was like, oh, no, I'm playing. I'm making my debut on Sunday. Like, that right there is like, okay, he's fucking ready to go. Like, he hasn't even practiced yet, and he's already, like, basically saying he's playing on Sunday. It just, the offense was clicking. The new schemes that they've put in and the different creative ways that they were figuring out a way to get Garrett. The ball was working, you know, playing twelve personnel, playing eleven personnel is just not functioning. And, like, we're running three receiver sets. We're moving Garrett around. And I've been asking for this for the entire year. Give me Garrett as a y with mike williams at the x on the same side. Like, you force the defense to commit to one of those two, and it should give Rogers the ability to kind of pick and pick and choose. We haven't done it. Maybe because Aaron doesn't trust Mike and that that inherently changes when you, you line up Devontae Adams. It's just, for me, I feel like it's just, it just, I'm a blissful idiot. And it definitely changes how I see this game coming up and shit. I mean, if fucking Devante Adams gets two touchdowns, I'm gonna get a Devontae Adams jersey. Sorry, I'm a fucking moron. I am. I have a problem and hopefully I don't regret it. What about you, Mark? [00:25:18] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, I think this, this definitely changes the way I'm viewing the game. I think the biggest thing with Devontae Adams right now, and this game is going to be, the Steelers have a really good pass rush you know, TJ Watt, Kem Hayward, they're going to bring the pressure. And, you know, there was, there was one play in the game where we saw there was a lot of pressure coming from the Bills right up the middle. Aaron Rodgers got, got the ball away quick to Mike Williams. Turned around, it was right there. He drops it. I think the biggest thing with Devontae Adams is going to be, he's going to have that anticipation. He's going to know what Rogers is thinking. [00:25:57] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:25:58] Speaker A: So plays like that, they're going straight to him and he's going to be able to make that play. Whereas before Mike Williams didn't make the play. You don't know if Garrett's going to make that play. There have been a lot of times where Hammond Aaron haven't been on the same page this season. You know, Devante just has that built in chemistry with him. So this offensive line has not been playing well recently. The Steelers are going to bring the pressure and I think Devante is going to take a lot of that pressure off of Aaron. [00:26:31] Speaker B: The nonverbal communication with Lazard, I think immediately carries over to Devante tenfold those times where they're playing off of Lazard and he just doesn't even make a signal. He just looks at him and he throws those immediate balls immediately at Lazard. Like those are all going to go to Devontae, who can, who is a much, you know, much better receiver and can get you some yak yards. I think it just changes the way this attack looks. And you're right. A best way to battle a quick pass rush is those quick passes and that, that nonverbal communication and those signals that Rogers likes to do is just going to be, you know, it's just going to be more efficient. It's going to be more efficient with Devontae Adams. Fuck. I'm talking, I'm like excited. God damn it, man. [00:27:16] Speaker A: Usually we don't get excited to like. [00:27:18] Speaker B: Thursday they're gonna fucking break my. And tomorrow I'm gonna see him in jets practice gear and I'm gonna see him running and they're gonna do those fucking slow mo videos on social media of him catching a ball from Rogers. [00:27:30] Speaker C: And he's gonna have to throw Malachi Corley a watch to change his number and give us our. Sir, not even if I die, does. [00:27:38] Speaker A: Malachi Cooley even have a number? Like, you can't even get on the field, Jersey? [00:27:42] Speaker B: No. Hell no. Rookie. I'll buy you Chipotle. A Chipotle gift card. That's it. Give me, give me that fucking New Jersey. [00:27:47] Speaker C: We'll have to get used to the third different jet receiver wearing 17 in a year. [00:27:54] Speaker B: One thing I'll say, like, couldn't they just do this last week? [00:27:56] Speaker C: Like, the, the one thing I'll say about that, which is, like, I think it was how we all felt in the moment. And I think how, like, some of the national media people are saying, like, I heard a couple people on WFN this morning be like, well, it's too late. Like, it's, it's, it's six games, and it's not too late. We just wanted it to happen soon. Like, the Raiders still have a say in this, and the Raiders did not want to give him up last week. [00:28:22] Speaker B: They were holding out for a higher pick, and Joe Douglas, you know, stuck around. Yeah. And I suspect the trade was agreed upon before the game ended because Rogers. [00:28:35] Speaker C: Said he found out at 1245. [00:28:37] Speaker B: Yeah. So I suspect, like, the groundwork of the trade was already kind of laid out, and, and maybe if the Raiders hold on and wait to see how our game ended, I mean, it had. [00:28:47] Speaker A: To be for Devante to take a red eye flight to New York and be at the practice facility. Like that. [00:28:52] Speaker B: Yeah, like, it. So they blinked and, look, one thing I will say, like, there are way bigger messes around the league. I mean, shit, we're not Cowboys fans. You know, we don't have our owner threatening radio reporters. I mean, our owner is an idiot, and he is consistently embarrassing us with. [00:29:11] Speaker A: His head coach is not yelling at fans. [00:29:13] Speaker B: Our head coach is not fighting with Stan player. You know, fans in the stands, you know, like, they're like, our quarterback is not a sexual predator with a guaranteed contract. I mean, there's way bigger messes. And that's the last night when I went to bed, Mark and I had a little exchange about, like, oh, my God, we're in deep shit. Like, blah, blah, blah, blah. We went all in, to use a poker term, like, all our chips are in because this is, it's Rogers or boss. We don't have a backup plan, but fuck it. There's way bigger messes. Jerry Jones could be our owner. DeShawn Watson could be our quarterback. Nick Sirianni could be our head coach. [00:29:46] Speaker A: Like, there were a lot of fans that wanted Deshaun Watson as our quarterback a couple of years ago, too. [00:29:51] Speaker B: Well, that's a podcast conversation for a different day. Gentlemen, we said we were going to do 510 minutes, and now we are approaching 25 minutes. Thank you both for keeping me sane these last few weeks having thorough, enjoyable conversation with you guys. Hopefully the team will give us some more good vibes as the season progresses. But thank you very much. And with that, we're going to wrap up. Thank you very much for listening. See you guys next week. [00:30:24] Speaker C: Thank you for listening to just jets the podcast.
