LISTEN | Breshad Perriman on Jets Training Camp (8/19)

Live are on the more formal setup. And of course, if you haven't checked out Training Camp Live three times a week throughout the course of this unprecedented training camp before the Jets kick off their season on September against the Bills. And like you said, Brashott Perriman is our guests on today's podcast, and really this is a receiving core that let's talk about more on our live programming. But they're dealing with some injuries right now. Yeah, unfortunately,

you feel bad for the rookie Donzel Mims. He's dealing with the hamstring issue and that happened early in camp, even before where we had an opportunity to go out and watch a couple of workouts. And everything's condensed right now, so Adam Gates talked about how valuably each and every rep is and he's coming in not only making a transition to the National Football League, of course, but uh making a transition to a new system. And then Vincent

Smith is dealing with the core issue. Uh. So the Jets in turn pivoted quickly and got Chris Hogan added to this receiver group. But Perriman is the guy is going to be counted on big time in year one with the Jets. And Perriman had a beautiful catch in

what is today's Sunday's practice? And well, the days are blending together at e A, which actually I don't mind it because it feels like a sense of normalcy and that training camp is really back and I like the feeling of that, even though I don't know what day it is. And let's hear from the man himself, number nineteen, Brashad Perriman for shot, what can you tell us about the play of training camp so far? The long bomb from Sam Donald to you during Sunday session, Um, it was.

It was a perfect play man, perfect play for the um for the you know, based on what the defensive playing and um sandwich to a beautiful ball. Man, it was a complete diamond that you came down with the kitsch. So what can you tell us about the coverage that you saw from your perspective? And where were you lining up when you released from line of scrimmage? Um, I was the number three receivers, so closest to the inside,

you know, to the lineman. And I've seen the single high safety, so I knew I had a corner route, So I knew I was gonna have an everageing on. Man. You know that this ball could potentially go up and guy with um Sam to a dime. Man, I just came down with him. Rashad Adam Gates said that he was very impressed with the way that you studied in the off season, the virtual meetings and your level of details.

So can you kind of take us through what you did in the spring joining a new team and making sure you learned the playbooks so you can step in immediately and make plays. Man, Just take my time with it, Man, really, just like like like you said, like just really focusing on all the details, like, uh, you know the little things that you know I know that you need to know, UM and whether to succeed in this offense, and you know, I'm still you know, it's still a little process. I'm

still trying to get something down, some details down. But um, you know, I'm just big on, you know, trying to know what what I gotta do when I'm out there and and I think it's about to play, you know, advance to my ability. So what do you like about your quarterback? What do you like about Sam Donald? You mentioned this long ball accuracy when you guys hooked up together, but we talked about it in the Springer shot that you kind of like his personality, the way he takes charge.

And with that being said, he's still kind of a cool guy, a chill a chill player. Yeah, exactly, man's real. I love that about him. And I feel like I'm the same way, Like I don't really do you know, too much talking if you know, I mean, if you know, I mean, I mean, talk a little more. But for the most part, you know, he just kind of cool and reserve, and I feel like he's the same way.

You know, he didn't really say too much, but at the same time, you can tell he has great control over the team, over the offense, and yeah, I just feel like that's that's just awesome. Brosha. What can you tell us about when yourself and some of the skill guys met in Florida and worked out for the first time And how helpful was that to finally put some things you were learning in the virtual meetings to practice.

That was that was everything, man, to be honest, you know, just being on the computer all the time and you know, going over place like it's it's good, you know, but at the same time, you really have to go out there physically on the field and really go through this stuff. And you know, for us to get out there and really just um, you know, wrap it together, um, start building the connection together. That I feel like that was everything and that just you know, um put us you

know that much further ahead of the curb. Who's someone flying under the radar when we look at this receiver group. You guys are dealing with injuries her early in training camp, tons of Man's Vincent Smith. Those are a couple of guys who hopefully get back on the field pretty soon, but who might be flying under the radar. We know you're gonna be stepping up not only camp but the

regular season. But give us a name or two. I can't get you just wanted to man, I feel like everybody, everybody when you who you wanted to bag, you know, as far as uh I can. I mean I can see her name, but I feel like our whole group, um, you know, collectively, like even the younger guys, the unaffed guys, um, you know, Jeff, James, Jess and George change it Like, I feel like everybody you know really just coming here and stepping up and doing what they need to do.

And you know, I feel like it's it's shown, and if it hasn't shown, you know, yeah, it's going to show. Quick follow up there. You just mentioned Jeff Smith. What does he bring to the table. He's still a young, younger guy himself, and I think a lot of fans might not know a lot about him. I feel like jibering lots of the table. Man. He's fast, He's quick, really quick, really fast, and you know he's has a lot of quick tick quick twitch. Um. And the way

he runs the routes is just so smooth. Man. I always look at him and the way he runs routes saying, um, the way he gets in and out of brace man, it's crazy. And I feel like he's definitely, um, gonna have a great season. You've mentioned something earlier that you're a rather reserve guy. You like to hang out just kind of by yourself. But what do you like to do in your free time? Uh, free time to see

actually go home? Man, chill, chill more lady. Um, you know, may play some fortnight on the on the day off. You can't know, you can't do too much, so, I mean on a typical you know, if it was we was living in the normal life, you know, without the COVID. Uh, you know, I'll probably go out to eat to some restaurants and I don't really don't really do too much, man, just just like laying low. You're still on Fortnite for shot. Yeah, man,

that's all I played for the most part. You're trying to color duty, but I'm gonna start playing it again. I'm just not that good at it. Yeah. I don't like Call of Duty either. So a more serious note, How strange is this training camp? And one does it become ball is ball? Football is football? Because you guys are walking around the facility, You're in virtual meetings at times, your coaches have masks on, You're getting tested every day. What is all that felt like to you? Um, I mean,

of course it's different. You know, nothing like we ever you know, been through or ever would have imagined going through. But um, yeah, it's been. It's it's been. It's been pretty different. You know, as far as just having meetings online on the computer all the time, and you know, not being in facility, you know, training camp. You used to be in a facility, oh day for the most for the most part, you know, but it's been different.

But you know, as far as when we get out there with practice, um, you know, the coaches winning mask that's that's different too. But you know, at the same time, you know, practice as practice. So I guess I'm not really ever thinking about like it's kind of where everybody got mask on. I'm just when practice time, it's just it seemed normal. That's the only time it seemed normal

for the most part. What have you thought about your head coach, Adam gaze here Lebyan Bell talked about him the mother They said, I love the guy and he likes his approach. How has he been during meetings and out there on the field, because he's very hands on obviously the offensive play car Yeah, definitely man. He's definitely hands on man, and I feel like he's doing a great job. I love him as well. Um the way that he just leaves and the way his old mindset

is about going and doing things. Um. But yeah, he definitely hands on, like especially with the receivers, and I love that part. You know, he's very detailed about what he wants, um, how he wants different things to be ran. And you know that does nothing but help us, especially when it's coming from the head coach, because you know that's just gonna help the chemistry and everybody to be

on the same page. What do you like about the way Shawn Jefferson, the wide receivers coach, teaches that position. I love that too, man coach and J Man, he's very intense. He's very detailed about as well about everything, like every little thing and you got to be spot on and the little things that you know that you may look over. You know, as far as drill wise, he made sure he hits every single thing. And I know that Ethan probably might he might not remember your father,

but I remember your father. What kind of influence did he have on you growing up? And also I wanted to follow up and ask how is he doing? Um, oh, boy, man, he had he had he was influence on my left and this in his football wherever man, you know, Um, that's all we did really with grind, you know when I was young. Um, as far as anything I really put my mind to, you know, we we really just really focused in on that one thing and just grinding. Like that's all he really taught me. And that's all

I really know. Um. And yeah, and for the most part, you know, he's doing, he's doing, he's doing good. You know, he's here as I I can ask for for shot. The last question for me, but what has to happen for this receiving group that's relatively young and has a lot of new faces like yourself. How do you guys make up for lost time in the spring that you would have had here at the facility if not for the pandemic And now you have to make up for

lost time on the field. But the most part, man, we just gotta you know, put our head down and work on you know, take advantage of every day, every plate. Um, you know, not take one for not take anything for granted, you know, no matter he's a run, paid run play or pass play. You know, uh for that we day got taped advantage and be very detailed about working on everything.

You know, this year more than more than any other year. Hey, I was on Twitter before we came into the studio here and fans were having a debate on who to draft for their fantasy teams, for Shot Perriman or Jay Missing Crowder. Maybe they should drap both of them, hab because I saw both you and crowd are out there making plays and Jamison was so success successful last year in this system, and you really flourished down the stretch last year in Tampa, and you seem like you're jelly

well with everybody. Yeah, man, that's the only way you got. You gotta drap over me, over him. That's not gonna happen. I mean, brother Well said, all right, Presian, thanks for joining us from the podcast. We appreciate it. Appreciate you take care he ate something that I think struck me

at least about Prashad Perriman. We were at practice once Friday, and I know that he's listed at you know, six to to something whatever it is officially on the roster, but he's a lot bigger that I thought that he was going to be in person. It's a little different when you see him in person then when you're just looking on New York Jets dot com and seeing what

his height and weight is. Big guy, good catch radius and one of those long striders because he can flat out fly bottom line and um, you know the other guys stood out to me as far as size is concerned. I know you're talking about Perryman. Wow, Laurence Cagere's a monster, Laurence care I think he's listed at six five, but he is a big dude. But it's good to see early on. You can tell that Donald and Perryman have

already established a rapport. And Adam Gates has said when you see Perryman flash in practices, it gets the wheels turning of what we can do with him. And again, if you're a Jets fan, what you want to see from Perryman is that first round talent out of you CF a few years back. Maybe he's reaching another level.

And we saw that with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last season late right when Mike Evans and god, when we're down and Bruce Arians put him in and with Jamis Winston and he took off and he definitely has the prototypical side speed combination that you're looking for. The other thing, I think it came through when we were talking to him. He's got a great personality, bubbly, happy, enthusiastic. He's a

guy who's gonna fit in very good here. Yeah, I agree with that, and we'll see what happens with the entirety of the Jets re Stephen Corps, like you said, dealing with injuries, and you know, if you're a Jets fan, I think the one guy that stands out is really Denzel Mims because he was drafted in the second round and a lot of fans were hoping to see him flash right from the get and right now he's he's sidebined. And what we saw Sunday's practices, we're watching it from

our respective work areas a closed circuit. I guess those Jamison Crowder and Sam Donald picking up where they left off. And and when Donald is given time to throw the ball, he's just delivering ropes and he seems like he's more vocal out there, but with injuries that means more opportunities. Hogan,

we mentioned him before. Now he completes the FC or tet because he started his career with the Miami Dolphins, then he had some success with the Bills, and of course he had the relatively long run with the New England Patriots. He's a local guy, thirty two years old, but he's another guy probably much like Perryman that he's he's used to coming in and picking up a new system, new language. And Adam Case has always said there's similarities

between this offense and what Josh McDaniels runs. Of course with the Patriots. You know, you go back to those days together that they had with the Denver Broncos, even back way back when Case was with Josh McDaniels when they were both at Michigan State under Nick Saban, And there you go the connection to really all that was Another episode of the Official Jet Podcast, powered by Amazon
