Chapter 1: Who could be the Jets QB at the start of the 2026 season?

1.651 - 23.567

How about J.J. McCarthy for the Jets? How about the Minnesota Vikings sign Kyler Murray? You can't have J.J. there anymore. It just doesn't work. If they bring in Kyler Murray, they'll find nine here. And the Vikings trade nine to the New York Jets. I can't think. of a better marriage in the NFL than the Jets and J.J.

0

Chapter 2: What are the implications of Kyler Murray as a Jets option?

23.607 - 48.222

McCarthy. It just sounds perfect. Yeah, okay. A couple of resurrections happening at the same time. It would be nice, wouldn't it, if it actually turned out to be that way? Where they resurrected their career to a point where they got how Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield had to restart their careers. Yeah. You get nine with Frank Reich after he went through a tumultuous first season.

0

48.462 - 49.603

Well, first full season.

0

Chapter 3: How did C-Mac defend Roger Clemens' bat-throwing incident?

50.044 - 70.087

There was Vikings starting quarterback. And he learned along the way. And he comes here and he goes, I'm the man who is going. Nine is the man who is going to bring the Jets back to glory. That's not going to work here. What, nine? Yeah, that whole alter ego thing is not going to work here. I think it would be perfect. No. I mean, a guy believes in himself, right?

0

Chapter 4: What is the debate around social media influencers in sports?

70.348 - 85.977

Look, we all believed in ourselves. That's great. But to talk about yourself in the third person as the quarterback of the Jets, oh, come on. It would just – It would be miserable. Absolutely miserable. So you don't like the idea of J.J. McCarthy being the Jets quarterback?

0

86.298 - 103.72

You know, I was told by a very reliable source that when Rex Ryan was here, I think he turned the tables on the media that was covering the team. And he would ask them questions. He was having a little fun with them, trying to engage with them and have some fun with them.

0

103.9 - 129.171

Yeah, and somebody told me that when Rex Ryan, and maybe this has been printed out there, I don't know, but somebody told me that when Rex Ryan asked Rich Cimini what was the best year you had covering the New York Jets, okay? Rich Cimini, according to my source, said it was the one in 15 season under Rich Cotite because of all the things that were going on at that time. Sure, yeah, of course.

0

Chapter 5: Who is Boomer's new favorite Knicks player and why?

129.711 - 134.899

I understand that. You know, if it's an organization that doesn't have success

0

134.879 - 160.043

and you wanted to blow it up yeah there's nothing fun about a team that's going you know being 500 and there's no storylines so i don't think that that is an inaccurate story because i believe the source you know and wasn't trying to like you know douse gasoline on rich or anything but it was you know and and i've talked to rich about this a lot there's nothing worse than a middling team sure i mean you what you want is you want either a

0

160.023 - 172.637

let's go to the Super Bowl or let's completely, you know, blow up and just like what the Jets did last year. It becomes a conversation point. If you could guess who the Jets quarterback, how would you handicap it at this point?

0

172.657 - 201.973

If you were the odds maker on FanDuel Sportsbook or FanDuel Predicts, and you're making the odds for, and this is no inside information, but you're just surveying the landscape, the odds for the Jets starting quarterback in 2026, who's the odds-on favorite? Who is the guy at the top of that list? It's either going to be, like I said, like a Kirk Cousins type.

0

Chapter 6: What factors contribute to the NFL Combine's popularity?

202.734 - 222.818

And you've said that. Kirk Cousins? Either Kirk Cousins or a cheap alternative. It all depends. The money is involved here. You have to balance all of it and how it impacts the salary cap, what kind of contract people are looking for, what are the expectations of that player. I think that there are a number of...

0

223.962 - 247.67

A number of players that I believe that Frank and his offensive staff would love to work with. Just simply because of the... I would say experience that they have, the success that they've had in the league. I just think that there's five or six guys that fit that moniker. Okay, let's go through them.

0

247.73 - 267.865

The other thing is, it's like I've always told you about the stature of what they're looking for or what he would be looking for physically. Right, doesn't want a tiny quarterback. But it doesn't mean that a tiny quarterback couldn't be a part of whatever decision they're making simply because of the amount of money such tiny quarterback would be making. Yeah, but he's not going to pick the Jets.

0

268.686 - 288.135

Tiny quarterback Kyler Murray, he's going to have a lot of opportunities and the Jets are not going to be the place he ends up. So Kirk Cousins, you think, would be at the top of the list? I would think so. Meaning of not just the one you want the most, the one you think makes the best fit right now. Probably the best sense and probably the guy that you'd want to be a leader of your team.

0

289.137 - 290.239

He'll go in the meeting rooms.

Chapter 7: How do injuries affect team dynamics in the NFL?

290.259 - 299.389

He's never going to be late. He's always going to be on time. The walkthroughs are going to be. When I ran walkthroughs with the coaches, it was like boom, boom, boom. Spot on.

0

Chapter 8: What are the key takeaways from the Knicks' recent game performance?

299.469 - 319.047

Let's go. We're not making a lot of mistakes. That kind of thing. You'd like to have somebody that can communicate and that you can communicate with during the game to get things done relatively quickly. The biggest thing about game day itself is just communication with the coaching staff, with the quarterback, with players, who's on the field, who's not on the field.

0

319.427 - 338.955

What are we expecting to run in this certain situation? Give me a... You know, a little bit of a heads up, and I'll give the heads up to the guys in the huddle, that kind of thing. If one of your goals in 2026 for the Jets is to wash off the stink of the organization, then bringing in Kirk Cousins would be a great idea. It's just a solid idea.

0

338.975 - 364.855

It's a professional guy to settle things down, much like Frank in his position. Yes. And, you know, you feel like you'd have a pretty solid running game. I would like to think that they would be shooting for a top five running game in the league and they would be looking for somebody to, you know, calm down the offensive line. You know, and I often say this, too, back in 1992, I think I think.

0

364.835 - 388.345

It was Brownie Nagel's rookie year. It was 92 before I got here. And I think he was sacked like 54 times or 56 times or something. You can check this out. Okay. And there were an inordinate amount of offensive line penalties, whether it be holding, false starts, you know, that kind of thing. Wrong, you know, or using timeouts when you shouldn't be using timeouts because he was a rookie.

0

388.325 - 407.886

And there was a lot to learn. And I just think that's what happens to rookies. It's not just Browning himself, but it happened to me when I was a rookie. Yeah, of course. So the next year, when they traded for me and I came in, and I think I was sacked only 26 times in 1993. So we cut that in half, and we also cut out the penalties.

408.322 - 428.018

So we cut out the false starts, the holding penalties, the misalignments, the bad motions, the bad shifts. We cut all that crap out. You see what I'm saying? I do. And we won 8-8 that year, but the point being is that we won from 4-12 to 8-8 just by fixing that part of it.

428.183 - 449.144

And Kirk would certainly do that, especially if he stays healthy out there, which has been a challenge at times for him as well. But that's just the name of the game. Let's go to Bobby and Yonkers. What's going on, Bobby? Morning, guys. Love the show. Listen, I heard this yesterday, but I'm asking Boomer because he's more tied in. I heard Tua is available.

449.164 - 478.379

They're trading Tua with a first-round pick, right? But you've got to pick up the cap, which I believe is $56 million. but he's one year on the books. To me, with all the quarterbacks out there, if that's true and you get a first-round pick, which is the 11th pick in the draft, I would do that. Why would Miami send that guy to the Jets with a first-round pick? 56 million off the cap.

478.399 - 504.08

But you're also giving the Jets another first round. I mean, trades like that within the division are rare, man. Oh, I understand. But listen, have you heard that? So I can't sit here and say that I've heard that or anybody's told me that. Again, that would be a significant consideration because of the first round pick, if in fact that's accurate. I don't know that that's accurate. I don't.
