Ray Lucas Interview Earlier today I spoke to Ray Lucas and got his take on Geno Smith, Rex Ryan and John Idzik. You can listen to the entire interview by clicking play below or you can listen to Ray Lucas here here. Ray just released a new book: Under Pressure How Playing Football Almost Cost Me Everything and Why I’d Do It All Again In Under Pressure, Ray Lucas provides fans with a timely, uncensored look at pro football’s play-at-all-costs culture. Overcoming questions about his size and skills as a quarterback, Lucas persevered and went on to play seven seasons in the NFL. His professional football career, however, came to a sudden end at age 30, when a neck injury caused him to collapse on the sideline during training camp. Instructed by NFL doctors that surgery wasn’t an option, Lucas turned to painkillers for relief, but as his tolerance for medication escalated and his NFL insurance coverage expired, he began to plan his suicide. Just days before he planned to take his life, Lucas was put in touch with a group of doctors who agreed to perform neck surgery free of charge.

Click here to listen to the interview. Last week I attended the New York Jets cooking school event presented by the Institute of Culinary Education (ICE) and Chase. ICE lets either current or former NY Jets players cook and interact with the public with the assistance of culinary professionals. I had the  honor to not only interview, but spend some quality time with former Jets running back Bruce Harper and wide receiver Wesley Walker.  They discussed what it was like playing together, Walt Michaels, Al Toon and what they are up to these days.  The chemistry between the two remains the same, if not stronger, and you can tell they both still bleed green.

Click here to listen to the full audio from the blogger conference call. The following is a transcript from today’s blogger conference call with linebacker David Harris: JetNation.com: David,  you guys faced Matt Forte and the Bears in 2010 when you had the third ranked rushing defense in the league and he managed to put up over a hundred yards and another sixty yards through the air.  What is it that makes Matt Forte as good as he is given the fact that he was able to have that much success against such a good run defense and how do you prepare for him this time around? David Harris: What makes him special is that he can do it all.  He poses just as much of a threat catching the ball out of the backfield as he does running the ball.  He’s a great runner who makes a lot of guys miss, he has good vision and enough speed to take it the distance. JN: Another weapon the Bears have on offense this year is Martellus Bennett who doesn’t get as much press as their big receivers but he’s a guy who had a career high 65 catches last year in Trestman’s offense and a big target at 6′ 7”, so how do you guys account for somebody like that with the wealth of weapons on that team? DH: Oh yeah, he gets overlooked a lot with the two guys on the outside, Marshall and Jeffery but he’s a key part of their offense who demands attention in the middle of the field and he’s a big target like you said.  You always have to have somebody over the top and underneath on him.  He splits out sometimes at wide receiver and they throw him jump balls so they know how to utilize him. JN: What about the Jets tight ends?  A lot of what we’re hearing is that Eric Decker may not be available.  If he’s not, I would anticipate you guys trying to incorporate the tight ends a little bit more and Rex has commented on Amaro being ready to become a bigger part of this offense. What have you seen from him in practice as a young guy who’s obviously a big target who put up big numbers in college, you would think he’ll be  a tough guy to defend once the light goes on for him. DH: Any time somebody gets injured, the guy behind him has to step up.  If Decker doesn’t play, somebody has to step up and fill his shoes. Decker is a huge part of this offense and we have other guys and other options on offense as well.  Cumberland and Jace Amaro, they’ll get their nuber called and probably be looked at a little bit more, but we’ll see. JN: Your fellow linebacker Quinton Coples had a big sack and four quarterback hits and I know recently Karl Dunbar elaborated on how he feels like Quinton has come along and we know he had the injury early last year but dropped some weight in the off-season and has looked really good early on, what are your impressions from what you’ve seen on the field and how he’s developed after moving to the outside linebacker position? DH: He’s starting to make the adjustment pretty well.  It’s tough, to go from a D-end with you hand in the dirt to playing linebacker in the NFL.  I know a lot of guys think it’s easy but it’s not easy when you’re dropping in to coverage you see a lot of different formations and see how guys try to isolate you and exploit you, but he’s done a really good job rushing the passer, getting off blocks, and he’s making a lot of big plays for us and that’s what we expect out of him. JN: David, we’ve seen a lot of people in the league, especially talking about teams like the Seahawks and the importance of being able to find guys who make significant contributions late in the draft.  A couple of late rounders who surprised some people and made the roster and I say that because of the strong front-7, Ik Enemkpali and Trevor Reilly are a couple of fellow linebackers who made the final 53, what have you seen in these guys that you like so far? DH: Ik, he’s a relentless pass-rus[...]
