Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. Hi, Boomer and Geo coming to you live from the Bill Ford Tough Studio on the fan and CBS Sports Network. Get your calls in this segment. On the Red Pocket Mobile fan line is brought to you by your new Ultimate Cell Carrier Red Pocket Mobile. 888-808-1019 is the number to join the show.
We opened up talking about the opportunities out there or lack thereof with the Jets and their quarterback situation if you want to talk about that. And by the way, I'm saying it ever since we floated it. I floated it and then Boomer was like, you know, it's not a crazy thought. I really do think that Deshaun Watson is going to be a real candidate to be the Jets quarterback. And this is not...
This is not based on anything that Frank Reich told Boomer and told me because prior to Frank Reich taking this job, we had this conversation about Deshaun Watson. And the reason why is sort of in the same way. Now, I would not bring Deshaun Watson in, but the reason why I'm connecting these dots and the logic is...
I'm applying the same logic to Deshaun Watson that I was applying to John Gruden, which is that you could resurrect somebody's career who was great in this place because there's so few teams that are going to give you a shot and the Jets are desperate. There's a lot of teams out there like, I'm not taking a chance on Deshaun Watson.
I don't want to deal with that on top of the injuries and everything else. I just don't want to deal with it. But the Jets are like, you know, If they reach out, I mean, by the way, he went to the Browns, for God's sake, so he's gone to bad organizations before.
But if they reach out and say, hey, we're the place that you're going to do this, we believe in you, they might be the only team or one of a handful of teams that would hand him the starting job.

Chapter 2: What are the Jets' quarterback options for the upcoming season?
Yeah, I was trying to think of other teams that would either go down this road, and I really, I don't know if there's anybody desperate enough, and I would assume that he would be on the list, much like, you know, Jacoby Brissett, Carson Wentz. Um... Is Kyler Murray on a list, if he can acquire him? No, you told me that he's too small. I'm just telling you, I don't think so.
That's just my perspective, just knowing what I know about the type of quarterback that Frank wants, and if he has any impact on who they're going to bring in. Do they keep Tyrod Taylor? I mean... These are all the discussions that every Jet fan from now until the draft are going to have, and now all the way through the beginning of the season.
They'll settle in on a couple guys eventually, just like the Giants did last year. So the Giants brought in Russell Wilson, and they brought in Jameis Winston, and they drafted Jackson Dart. So I think that's kind of the model that you want, bringing two veteran guys that you can have there that know the offense. Is Andy Dalton one of those guys?
Because he was with Frank, I think, down in Carolina, threw 58 balls in one game. I don't know. I'm assuming that Andy probably still thinks of himself as a starter. We all do.
Chapter 3: Why does Gio prefer Kirk Cousins over Deshaun Watson?
It's very rarely do you hear a guy say, yeah, I'll take the backup spot. Yeah, and Russell Wilson, I don't think – I can't see him getting offered a starting job, maybe coming in and competing.
But, I mean, after the way he played last year and he said he had the injury, but I just – I mean, at the time, and I'm going to stick to it, I just don't think – I think the days of him being a starter or a team calling him and saying, I want you to be our starter are over.
Well, the other reason why I would say that that is not in line with the Jets is because where was Darren Muji before he came here? Well, Denver, yeah. And then the Russell Wilson Denver tenure was that was filled with drama. Yeah. And, you know, I heard Alan Jerry talking about the Deshaun Watson stuff.
And if he came here, you know, people would be yelling and screaming for a little bit about the the massage, you know, accusations, all the stuff and more than accusations, I guess, because he settled with just about everybody. And they were right about how it'll be a flurry and then people will forget about it.
But I actually think that there'll be more Jet fans or football fans that look at this and say it was a bad idea. Not so much because of the massage pervert stuff, but more because he's been hurt and barely played the last four years. That's true. And tore the same Achilles twice. So I think there'll be more people calling up going, what are you doing? This guy can't play anymore. And...
then saying, I can't believe you brought in this perfect. And believe me, I would think that would be part of the discussion, you know, around the table with the GM, with the head coach, with the owner. You know, what are the, you know... when you're sitting here signing guys, and I think they probably did this last year when they were thinking about Justin Fields.
You know, we think Justin is a guy that, you know, presents enough of a problem for opposing defenses that he could be our quarterback, and we think we can make this work with him. Yeah. And, you know, he actually got off to a pretty decent start against Pittsburgh. But there was a reason that Pittsburgh...
inserted Russell Wilson into the offense over Justin Fields after he started the season, what, 4-2, I think it was?

Chapter 4: What logic connects Deshaun Watson's situation to other quarterbacks?
Yeah, that's right. There's a reason why that happened. And, again, that's what happened here. There's a wall that gets hit, and nobody can really explain why. So, look, everything is on the table, including drafting a player. And the fact or the chance of you finding your Brock Purdy in this draft,
that's needle in the haystack stuff yeah so what i would do if i were the jets knowing that kirk cousins is going to be released is i would go hard after him and say we're bringing you in it's not going to be a competition you're going to be our starter i would i would pay him in in not overpay uh but but pay him a significant amount to to back that up um to say that you know we want you to be here and and go in that route because you're talking about a professional guy i mean he's he is by the way he
coming off an Achilles two years ago. But that's two years ago. But he came and he was bad the first year, but then came back and when he was fully healthy, he looked like himself again. So that's why I would go in that direction. But I think that Kirk Cousins is to the quarterback position what Frank is to the offensive coordinator position, which is someone with a ton of experience.
You don't have to worry about him. You plug him in. He's professional, and he wants to win just everything that Frank is as a coach, Kirk is as a quarterback.
And I really think that would be, if they want to win some games, settle this thing down and be taken seriously again, if that's really what their goal is next year is to win some games and not be in a tank situation and they get the number one overall pick, he'd be perfect. By the way, tank is for the fans only. But the Jets were doing it last year. They were.
They were playing Brady Cook over and over again. Brady Cook was not trying to lose games. I didn't say that, but they were playing him, and that's how you tank. I mean, we've talked about this. They also didn't want to get somebody else hurt and have to owe them their entire salary. But we know what was going on there. I mean, we know what was happening with that team.
I know the players and the coaches are trying to win, but hell... You know, if you put a guy out there who doesn't know how to play all that well and we end up losing some games, not the worst thing in the world. But I do think next year, you know, they're going to want to win. What's your number on them retaining their jobs for, you know, Aaron Glenn retaining his job for a third year?
Meaning, like, what percentage do I put it? No, what's the number of victories? Oh, okay. Six. Minimum six. Anything below that would be... It's also, we always talk about how it looks. Yes. But minimum of six. I mean, if you're losing close games, but if you're getting your teeth kicked in like they were at the end of last year and the defense is giving, it's really how the defense plays.
That's going to be a huge thing. For everything we've heard about Woody Johnson and telling Aaron Glenn he's got to call the plays and this and that, we brought you in, we paid you $12 million to be a defensive guru. If they're 28th in the league in defense again, then he's got no shot. Yeah. So it'll be fascinating to watch. Let's go to Mark in Westchester. What's going on, Mark?

Chapter 5: How does the Jets' quarterback search compare to the Giants' strategy?
I mean, you're close with some of these. Just give me other names. Where does LeBron James live? No, no, no, no. More topical.
Chapter 6: What are the implications of Tony Dungy's Hall of Fame voting?
Where does Jeffrey Epstein live?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Oh, where does, yes, okay. Where does Bad Bunny live is the number one. All right. Number two is where does Savannah Guthrie live, which you can understand. Yeah. Where does Jake Paul live? Where does Curtis Sliwa live? Jake Paul's got that Netherlands speed skating girlfriend. Yeah. I know. She just broke a world record. Yes. Of what? Where does Jet Blue fly? Okay.
Okay.
Where does Eileen Goo live? You know who Eileen Goo is? Because it also says, where does Eileen Goo train? People love Eileen Goo. So she's got to be an Olympic athlete. Yeah, that would make sense because that would be topical. Where does Logan Paul live? Where does Zoran Mondami live? These are the things. Eileen Goo, freestyle skier. Yeah. Where does she live is something like that.
All right, so anyway, where does Sam Darnold live? So he has to live part of the year in Washington because he's playing football there. They're saying Capistrano Beach, California. The question is, how many days does he spend in Washington? Right. And believe you me, those duty days that he has when he plays in the state of California with the Seattle Seahawks count against his residency. Right.
Right.
Let's go to Tony in Westchester. What's going on, Tony? Good morning, Bloomer. Good morning, Gio.
My first time call to the morning show, but a long WFAN listener. I know it's Tuesday, but I wanted to share my Monday morning quarterback spew of sorts regarding the offensive performances of the games. Here's my beef. Both teams blitzed the heck out of both quarterbacks. And I can't recall even one pass that was completed in the vacated area off the blitz. What the heck?

Chapter 7: How did Rodney Harrison confront Tony Dungy about Belichick?
We're going to be switching our pass protections to this to give you a little bit more solid pass protections. You don't have to always worry about throwing the ball hot because the defense knows that that if they're doing something to you one way and you're reacting a certain way, they'll try to dupe you into that. You see what I'm saying? Of course. And that's part of the strategy of the game.
But neither quarterback handled the blitz at all. And the last caller is right. And one of the reasons why the Super Bowl wasn't all that juicy going into it was because you didn't have quarterbacks playing in the game that have actually had a lot of success against defenses like this. All right, I'm going to give you another challenge here, all right? Okay.
So I put in, this is what the Google suggestions are.
Chapter 8: What was the outcome of the Pistons vs. Hornets brawl?
I wrote, what happens when? Space. Okay. Can you give me two? Can you give me two of the Google suggestions? When I put in, this is not what people have used on this computer. This is just the suggestions that they put out there. What happens when? One of them I think you could probably get. That's why I'm asking for two. What happens when?
You got to be thinking, what's someone going to Google for? Yeah, I know, I know. What happens when? What happens when a meteorite hits Earth? That's a good one, but no, it's not in there. What happens when? What happens when? Come on, there's one big... What happens when space? Can somebody give me two? Can I phone a friend? Yeah, yeah, go ahead. Phone a friend.
So I put into Google, what happens when space, two of the suggestions that Google comes up with. What happens when the toilet backs up? No, it's another good one. Okay. What happens when pipes break? See, that would have been my first guess, but it's not on here. One is very, what people think about all the time doesn't even have to be something that is topical right now.
What happens when you die? That's up there. Like Google's going to tell you. What happens? Here's another one I thought was. So number one is what happens when you declare bankruptcy? That's number one. Wow. And number two is what happens when you restrict someone on Instagram? Number three is what happens when we die? Number four is what happens when you swallow gum? This is America.
We should have gotten that bankruptcy one. Yeah. And then also, what happens when you stop drinking alcohol and what happens when you stop taking Ozempic? This is America, baby. 2026. That's what's going on, man. Oh, baby. Jared and Demarest. What's going on, Jared? Hey, what's up, guys? How are you? All right, Jared. What's happening? Okay. Okay, good. You guys hear me? Yeah, we got you now.
You're good. Your phone sucks, Jared. You guys hear me? Oh, come on. Stop. Enough. You wanted to tell us who Eileen Gu was. Oh, God. She's an Olympic freestyle skier. Let's go to... Yes, we learned. I did not know that prior to that, but Annabelle on Long Island. What's going on, Annabelle?
Good morning. Good morning, Annabelle.
What's happening?
Hi. I've been listening to you guys since around maybe... 2019 or something like that. So I never got to listen to Geo's predecessor. And I finally got to listen to him yesterday, but I couldn't take more than five minutes of it. And so I just wanted to say how thankful I am that Geo is now in that chair. And it's not just the voice that I couldn't listen to, but even just what they were saying.
