Chapter 1: Why is Kyler Murray considered a cheap option for teams?

0.031 - 20.94 Gio

You got Kyler Murray officially out there. We knew it was going to happen. But everything you've told me about your pal, Frank Reich, is that he doesn't like tiny quarterbacks. And that's what Kyler Murray is. He's a tiny quarterback. He likes the 6'3", the 6'4", the big, tall, stand-in-the-pocket guy. And Kyler Murray isn't that.

0

21 - 31.042 Gio

So even though Kyler Murray is going to be cheap to the team that signs him... This year, and he's got a great track record, I don't believe he's going to end up here with the Jets. Good morning, Boomer.

Chapter 2: What are the concerns about Kyler Murray's height for the Jets?

31.062 - 51.411 Boomer

How are you? Yeah, good morning, G. I'm doing well. And, yeah, in regards to Kyler Murray, here's the thing. The key word that you just said is cheap. That's the key word. Now, the other key word for me is short. Yeah. So he's short and cheap. I don't think it's going to happen. I don't think that that would be the way that the Jets would go.

0

51.451 - 71.967 Boomer

I think they would want a different type of quarterback and a different type of physical stature of a quarterback somewhere between 6'2 and 6'5". 215, 230, somewhere in there would be the sweet spot for Frank. But then again, you never know the decisions you have to make and the considerations that you have to take into account.

0

71.987 - 90.996 Boomer

So if they're going to spend a lot of money in free agency and they want a quarterback that's going to be a stopgap quarterback that's going to want to try to make a name for himself and reestablish his career and he's going to cost you $1.5 million as your quarterback, then that obviously goes into the equation. depending on who else is available.

0

91.517 - 110.835 Boomer

So I never say never, but if you ask me today, I would say no, but I wouldn't be surprised because of the cost maybe associated with him that it would be a possibility. That's the only thing I would say, a possibility just in large part to the amount of money that you would save if you signed him.

0

110.815 - 115.621 Gio

So Frank would go against his quarterback model.

115.781 - 117.383 Boomer

Yeah, but it's not just Frank. It's Darren Muji.

Chapter 3: How does Frank Reich's quarterback preference impact the Jets' decision?

117.403 - 118.284 Boomer

It's Aaron Glenn.

0

118.344 - 129.236 Gio

But he's the guy who brought this guy in to be your offensive guy. If Darren Muji and Aaron Glenn force a quarterback that Frank doesn't want onto the roster, that's already starting off on the wrong foot.

0

129.297 - 137.765 Boomer

Let's not start an argument that's not there yet. All right, let's... All you've done is told me that Frank Reich does not like tiny quarterbacks.

0

137.785 - 144.772 Gio

Yeah, I... That's huge. Since the second I met you. Hi, I'm Boomer. I went to East Islip. You're Gio. You went to Bellport.

0

144.792 - 165.533 Boomer

By the way, my buddy Frank Reich doesn't like tiny quarterbacks. That's true. That's true. He prefers... Not that he doesn't like, but he does prefer a larger quarterback, yes. And all you have to do is look at his history. Yeah. And you see who he has played with, with the exception of one player. And that one player was Bryce Young. But the owner made him draft that guy. Exactly.

Chapter 4: What type of quarterback does the Jets organization really need?

165.694 - 190.053 Boomer

So, again, the Jets are in a weird spot. I told Brian Costello this the other day. I've said it for weeks, if not months already on this show, that they're in a really weird spot when it comes to the quarterback position. And we all know they're in the stop spot. gap spot. Stop gap spot. Exactly. And they're going to need two quarterbacks. They're going to need two veteran quarterbacks.

0

190.574 - 211.603 Boomer

And you know, Kyler Murray may have an opportunity to go to Minnesota. If I were Kyler Murray, I'd go to Minnesota. If I were Kyler Murray, I would go maybe to Miami. I may go to somewhere else where I feel like I would be the unquestioned starter for the team. The one thing I will say about the Jets, and I've been very consistent about this, I think their offense is pretty good.

0

211.663 - 229.264 Boomer

I think their offense can be pretty good and can be supportive of a good, solid veteran quarterback. I think they can run the ball. I think they can pass protect. I think that they do have wide receivers already on this staff or on this roster that are good, and I wouldn't be surprised if they draft another one.

0

229.244 - 253.193 Gio

yeah i mean the thing about minnesota is interesting so they're in a cap situation that's not great they're releasing guys they're talking about trading other guys so the fact that he's as cheap as he is and someone who is a talented player is going to be uh interesting to them and also kyler murray's going to look at an organization that's got weapons and they got a coach and offensive and playing inside and all those things so they have justin jefferson and i'm playing inside i love

0

Chapter 5: What factors could influence the Jets' choice in free agency?

253.173 - 271.894 Gio

Yeah, that may be the place for him, but I'm not sure what they really believe in J.J. McCarthy or not. But I said this before about your buddy Frank. He's got undiagnosed achondroplasiophobia, which is the fear of little people.

0

272.395 - 292.022 Boomer

He does not like little people, and it's just tough. If you would talk to, I'm going to say 85% to 90% of the coaches out there, they know what the physical requirements are for the position. And even the big guys like Daniel Jones get hurt.

0

292.282 - 297.049 Gio

So I was thinking we would bring Little Boomer over there. Yeah. You know, our buddy Scott.

0

297.229 - 297.89 Boomer

Yes.

0

297.91 - 317.724 Gio

Who went to high school with John Franco and is a huge fan of the show. We'll put him in the Little Boomer costume that we had at Boomer and Geo Live. Mm-hmm. and the seven jersey and the Bengals jersey and the helmet, and then we'll get Frank over this whole thing, and we'll get Kyler Murray here on the Jets because that would be exciting. One thing's for sure.

317.744 - 324.965 Gio

If he ended up here, which I don't think he will, but if he ended up here, it would be very exciting. It would be – there he is. Look at little Boomer right there.

325.005 - 325.466 Boomer

Yeah, there he is.

Chapter 6: Why might Kyler Murray be a better fit for other teams like Minnesota?

325.486 - 347.949 Gio

So this is Boomer swinging around little Boomer at Boomer and Geo Live. So if we want Frank to – and Jerry's covered his face. He's like embarrassed. But, yeah, we'll get him over there, and we'll say, hey, listen. You can get over your achondroplasia phobia and you bring in Kyler Murray and we get this thing going in the right direction.

0

348.11 - 363.234 Boomer

Yeah, I saw a couple people out there saying the same thing. Look, number one, it takes two. It takes two for something like this to come together. I don't necessarily know the Jets are the perfect place for Kyler Murray. He's not going to want to come together. come here either. No, that's what I'm saying.

0

363.254 - 387.877 Boomer

You just talked about playing indoors, playing with Justin Jefferson, playing with a team that obviously two years ago, because of their quarterback play, they made it all the way to the playoffs and almost made it to the... Well, they didn't almost make it to the Super Bowl, but at least Sam Darnold showed that you could go there and you could play with Kevin O'Connell, who, much like Frank, is a great play caller, great play designer, and you could have immediate success.

0

388.918 - 406.703 Gio

Yeah, I would think that... This is also, by the way, I'm looking at a synonym for the thing I was saying. There's also a, there's a thing called lollipop gildophobia. There's actually a thing called lollipop gildophobia. I'm sure there's a thing for everything.

0

406.723 - 407.625 Boomer

There's a name for everything.

407.645 - 417.302 Gio

You're walking around telling people you got lollipop gildophobia. You got some major issues. But, but yes. So, so anyway, yeah. Kyler Murray, you know what this is?

417.282 - 436.766 Boomer

By the way... The Russell Wilson situation in Denver all over again. Yeah, and by the way, the other thing that this is is something that we've already talked about. We knew that Kyler Murray was going to be available. We know that Kirk Cousins is going to be available. We know all these players are going to be available. And the Jets know all these players are going to be available.

436.806 - 459.594 Boomer

So every single one... I would imagine... I'm thinking that you're in Darren Muji's office or you're in the conference office over there in Florida Park and you've got all these names up on the board. Yeah. And you're looking to see which player is going to give you the best performance given the amount of money we're going to have to pay them. And do they understand your offense?

459.634 - 475.435 Boomer

Have they been in your offense before? Can they get the team in the right positions? Can they get them in the right formations? Can they make the checks at the line of scrimmage? Can they run a two-minute drill? Can they handle a fourth and three when you're on your own 39-yard line in the first period, first quarter, and you decide that you want to go for it?
