Braiden McGregor

They were relentless.

Even Braden McGregor seemed like he had an explosive burst off the edge, too, where they were just – It seemed like a significant difference between this year's offensive line as opposed to last year.

A lot more aggressive, a lot nastier, a lot more explosive, a lot more physical, too.

Like, I almost got a different mindset, which is, it just seemed like that.

It was okay, just not enough plays, but it was Cam Ward doing stuff out of structure, uh, scampering for cheap yards, getting out of the pocket, and that's why I was screaming about rush lane responsibility, McDonald, Bailey, what have you.

So the second drive on the second play, they insert Braden McGregor and Will McDonald, the, the two guys who didn't start.

The, when you still frame that play, they squeezed it.

They didn't get downhill.

Uh, the film will really, really tell us the full story.

Uh, but yeah, uh, unheralded Connor McGregor, Kingsley Enobakhare, but Connor McGregor especially, he came in there and he did the right thing for the game flow, for what the coaches wanted, um, to keep the QB in the pocket, and it's gonna be largely unspoken or, or unhi- not highlighted, but he deserves all the credit in the world.

Let the record show Robbie means Braden McGregor, not UFC legend Conor McGregor, although it would've been really cool-

[laughs]

I may have missed it, though, because sometimes, as I said, I'm watching live, and I'm pulling clips of the game as I'm watching, and every now and then I miss a note there, but I didn't think Bailey's was a sack.

Braden McGregor, three tackles.

Dane Belton, two tackles.

Kingsley Anikbare, he was all over the place early on.

I saw a play where you – no, really, really quick.

I saw a play where you had – You had gotten by Gadecki, and then Braden McGregor came in, and in a one-on-one, he got home.

And I saw you guys kind of, like, dapping each other up.

Have you and McGregor sort of, you know, been working on some stuff together? Like, it seemed like you guys were kind of doing kind of the same kind of moves, pass rush moves.

Everything else, I'm really happy they made the spot for Jelani Woods.

I'm really happy Braden McGregor got kept on that edge role because I think he's a good player, but he's also good people.

So everything else, like you said, there wasn't any major surprises, but somebody on the group the other day was like, who are these guys? and I'm looking and you can look at that list and if you're a Jets fan it's very hard to cut somebody you are going to cut somebody who you know can contribute there isn't anybody on there where you're like that's just dead wood that's an easy cut you could make an argument of keeping anybody on that list obviously if like somebody for example miles garrett level came up you would be like yeah get rid of him but i'm talking about it's very hard to bring in somebody who's been waived by another team and go yeah we're gonna wave that guy So nothing really blew me away shock-wise.

I just wish we could get a kicker.

Next one from Howard.

He says, does Braden McGregor get replaced by Lynn or someone else? I think Lynn might be the IR replacement for Joseph Asai if Joseph Asai goes on IR.

If not, who knows? Lynn's on the practice squad, so it's possible that at any time the Jets can make a move.

He did look really good in the preseason, and he's got that history with Aaron Glenn.

And here we are, September 1st.

Braden McGregor made the 53-man roster over Nate Lynn.

You have some thoughts on this, though.

What are your thoughts?

Of course, he didn't have a shot.

I'm not saying that that's right.

I'm not saying that Braden McGregor earned a spot in the 53 because he didn't.

Nate Lynn outplayed him.
