Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. All right, hour number 2704. It is the Boomer and Geo program coming to you live from the built Ford Tub Studio. Geo will be back tomorrow from his long weekend away.
Since you brought up the Jets and the Giants in that last segment, a good time to kind of get into that because now that the combine has essentially completed, I don't know if they hang around for a little bit this morning, but it's pretty much done now. And we got all the times and the strength numbers and we got the odds. Arm length, yes. And all of that stuff.
Now we move into some real business. And when you look at these two teams, I put together just a little bit of a list. You tell me if I'm off base on this or if you happen to agree that in terms of needs, start with the Jets who need a lot for sure. Clearly number one. Yeah, with the exception, obviously, quarterback. So you were talking about Ty Simpson.
Chapter 2: What are the Jets' biggest needs for the upcoming NFL draft?
Maybe they do get a quarterback in the draft, but I don't think anybody they get in the draft is going to be starting week one. No. So if I give you the list of quarterbacks that seem to be available, either by trade or free agency, you tell me which one do you think fits or could be a possibility for this team? I will give you a definitive yes or no. Okay.
All right, but some could be attached to money. Like Malik Willis is first on this list. No. Okay. I'm seeing $25 million a year for him. I'm seeing over $30 million a year. Over $30 million. And Dan Arvlovsky said something like $40 million last week. Wow. Okay. No. All right, so you're saying no for Malik Willis.
I'm going to assume you're going to say no to this one, but he's on the list because he's a free agent. Daniel Jones. No. Okay. No for Daniel Jones. Marcus Mariota. Yeah. Really? I could say yeah. Okay, it's unexciting, but okay. Jimmy Garoppolo. I can't believe we're still talking about Jimmy Garoppolo. I would say 50-50, most likely not. Okay, so that's a no probably. Kenny Pickett.
50-50, most likely not. These names are just hilarious. I know, but this is kind of the conundrum that the Jets are in right now. Geno Smith? No. Okay. Russell Wilson? Nope. Joe Flacco? Nope. What is this, 2012? And then the other two that are out there, but they're not out there yet. They will be. Will Kirk Cousins be available? Yep, that's a possible yes.
Chapter 3: Who are the top quarterback candidates for the Jets?
Okay, so you're going to put him as a yes. And then the other one would be Derek Carr. Now, I did see the article that said the Saints' phone hasn't rang by anybody yet. No one's called. Yeah, because the Saints still have his rights. Right, you'd have to trade for him. Yeah, minor trade. Are you going to put him as a possibility? I would say 50-50.
And then there's a couple other guys that you should have on that list. I doubt Jacoby Brissett will get out of his contract in Arizona. Okay. There's also the potential for Andy Dalton. There's potential for Deshaun Watson. Dalton's still with the Panthers. Yes. And Frank had him down there for one year. Okay. And Frank got fired like, what, 10 weeks into the season. So he loves Andy.
As a matter of fact, Andy did, I think he played for one game under Frank. I think they played at Seattle. And I think Frank threw the ball 58 times that game. Because that was the year that Bryce Young was a rookie quarterback. Right, right, right. And he got a little beat up the week before and... I think, Frank, this is my perspective. This is not anything Frank told me.
But by throwing the ball 58 times, I felt like Frank was saying to the ownership down there, David Tepper, hey, see what we can do if we have a quarterback that knows the system, I can trust him. as opposed to only throwing the ball 20 times with Bryce Shum. And trying to run the ball down the throat, yeah. We're putting him on the field way too early.
That's what I always felt was going on down there. But nonetheless, I would think that Andy Dalton would be a legitimate consideration. All right, and then the other two, and again, now you're talking about trade, you're talking about money. And I'm going to say no to both. I didn't give you a... Matt Jones? No. Okay. No, he wasn't the one. I thought you'd say yes to him.
Kyler Murray or Deshaun Watson? No. Or Deshaun Watson, yes. Okay. Who was the other one you thought I was going to say? I thought you were going to say Tua. No, I don't. He doesn't seem like a fit to me here. And basically, it looks like Miami is rebuilding from the ground up.
And Gio and I were talking about this last week about Miami as to whether or not Stephen Ross went to his new GM and coach and said, look, I'm giving you three years. Get it right. And if they believe that this quarterback class next year is going to be that strong... they're not going to be openly tanking, but they could be tanking for Arch Manning next year. Right.
So there'll be a poor season, don't have a quarterback, or you'll let Hewers play quarterback this year, I suppose. And then see... Maybe they have a quarterback then. Maybe Hewers turns out to be okay. You never know. It's just like Tyler Shuck down in New Orleans. I don't necessarily know that they thought... drafting him in the second round. And remember, he's older.
He's an older player, and he played a lot of football. So he was more like a Philip Rivers type when he came into the league. He had a lot of college experience. And being older, he was more mature. And as the season went on, I think that they, you know, Kellen Moore thinks that he has his quarterback. Yeah, for sure. He played great, though, as you say.

Chapter 4: What insights does Boomer provide on the NFL combine results?
We are hitting the 60s later this week, and next week, like you had said, we're finished. The snow is melting away, and I think we are good to go. It's a little later than I declared winter, or rightfully declared it over last year in January, but March 2nd, and we change the clocks on Saturday night. That's good. No, it's not good. Or your head, yes. What's the matter? You're shaking your head.
I mean, I looked literally seven hours ago, and I saw one day it was almost going to hit 80, and now gone. Well, perhaps change it from, like, L.A. to here. No, I was looking at here both times, but, you know, these things happen. These forecasts do fluctuate. Well, they don't know. So, anyhow, nice to see you here this morning, Chris. How are you? It's good to be seen.
I made sure I was in here first this hour. You know, I don't want any more trouble. I did notice. So, here we go. And this report is sponsored by Chef IQ, precision cooking, effortless results, chefiq.com. A pair of big runs, one in the first half, another in the second half, powering the Knicks to a big win over the Spurs Sunday at the Garden.
Bronson started to score on everyone else, and the Knicks have controlled. Bridges another steal. Mikael Bridges dishes. Shabbit! My goodness! The unexpected Landry Shabbit poster. Yeah, you don't see that too often. Ryan Rucco, ABC. The Knicks on their way to a 114-89 victory, snapping San Antonio's winning streak at 11. Mikael Bridges beyond the steal there, had a team-high 25 points.
Jalen Brunson at 24, all five starters in double figures, and Mo Diowara was a star off the bench with 14 assists.
including four threes um we'll get you the audio a little bit later in the show teammates urging him to just keep shooting just keep shooting yeah they were enjoying his performance yesterday you heard the shamit dunk there but here he was talking team defense after the victory physicality was really encouraging tonight um i've been saying all year we're at our best defensively when we're dictating and not reacting and i think we did a good job of
dictating and imposing ourselves tonight. That speaks to what you said last hour about roughing up these Spurs and getting physical with them. No question that every single one of the wing defenders played exactly how you expect them to play when you acquired them. Both OG and... And what the hell is his name? Bridges. Bridges. Both of them were awesome in this game. Bridges especially.
This may have been his best game this year. It almost sounds like he heard some of the criticism. I don't know if he did or he didn't. He read it, heard it, listened. People told him. I don't know. But he's playing with a purpose. I still think the guy is a winning basketball player, does winning things for you, and he doesn't seem to be a very unselfish player. So I just...
He's a playoff player. He must have played in big games. He and OG, these guys, they've been around a long time. They feel like they're bored with the regular season. I do think that. That's why, even though I was disgusted last week and I'm screaming about Mike Brown and getting Cat the ball and doing this and Durant's not playing, you got to go after this. I mean, that was driving me crazy.
