Chasing '69

With just one week until the 2025 NFL Draft the boys are back breaking down all the latest in the world of Jets, including: the three-man race for the seventh overall pick, the online discourse surrounding a potential Breece Hall trade, what top-30 visits mean in today's NFL and the extreme unpredictability of this year's draft class.

After the Jets spent the last two weeks of free agency adding players on the fringes, Blake & Teddy talk about the class as a whole, their inability to land quality pass-catchers and remaining holes on the roster before using that to decipher the Jets approach to not just the 2025 NFL Draft, but the 2025 NFL Regular Season as well.

Blake & Teddy sit down and recap the first week of the Jets free agency decisions by Darren Mougey and Aaron Glenn: prying Justin Fields away from Pittsburgh in a low-risk but necessary move, spending big money on athletic traits in the secondary, solidifying the linebacker room by retaining Jamien Sherwood and cutting CJ Mosley and adding cheap but intriguing options along the trenches.

On the cusp of the first free agency for the Mougey/Glenn era in New York, Blake and Teddy take an all-encompassing look at what may lie ahead: what (if any) options will excite the fan base at quarterback, in-house names expected to depart, the predicament at the linebacker position and connecting the dots between available free agents and previous run-ins with Darren Mougey and Aaron Glenn. They also discuss cutting Davante Adams, trying to trade Allen Lazard (lol) and lingering thoughts from the NFL scouting combine.

It is NFL Scouting Combine week and with that the boys are back and diving in to everything we'll see or have seen: Darren Mougey & Aaron Glenn's press conferences, what tests mean most for position groups, the best players to watch as it pertains to the Jets seventh overall pick and what drills and measurements matter most. They also discuss the NFLPA Report Cards, and the rumblings of Garrett Wilson's potential contract extension.

Blake & Teddy make their return on the heels of the Jets new leadership making the decision that Aaron Rodgers is not part of their future plans, planning to release him this offseason. The two talk about the decision itself and what they would have preferred before breaking down the top options for the Jets new starting quarterback in 2025: including in-house names, draft targets, free agent acquisitions and trade options.

A new era in New York Jets football is upon us with the hiring of Aaron Glenn as the franchise's next head coach. Blake and Teddy break down the hiring process and share their thoughts on Glenn before diving into the assistant coaches and GMs that could be joining him along with their thoughts on Aaron Rodgers.

In the second week of the offseason Blake & Teddy dive into every topic surrounding the New York Jets head coaching search: Aaron Glenn & Brian Flores leading the way, Mike Vrabel landing with the New England Patriots, and the widest net possible that somehow doesn't include Mike McCarthy.

Fresh off the end of the 2024 regular season and our two-week holiday hiatus, the boys are back and ready to solve the New York Jets woes (again) by handing out their top five candidates to be the next head coach of the New York Jets. They also discuss the end of the 2024 season, the importance to establishing a unified front this offseason and breaking down the full list of general manager and head coach candidates.

The Jets got their second win of the season under Jeff Ulbrich Sunday, taking down the Jaguars behind a historic second half from Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams. Blake & Teddy break down that game which opens up a conversation around Aaron Rodgers and the 2025 season. They then discuss the early names being floated around the Jets general manager search (some with ties to potential head coach Mike Vrabel), the early speculation that Garrett Wilson might request a trade and preview the Jets upcoming game against the Los Angeles Rams.

It has been the most disastrous season in the history of KUWTNYJ so, instead of spending an hour talking about the Jets loss to Miami or previewing their matchup with the 3-10 Jaguars, Blake & Teddy list out and rank their top five disappointments from the Jets 2024 season and hash out why everything has gone so poorly for them.

Following the Rich Cimini report that former Titans head coach Mike Vrabel would be "open" to the Jets head coaching vacancy, Blake and Teddy do a deep dive on his abilities, what he would bring to the organization and whether or not you could find a scenario in which Aaron Rodgers returns for another season. The two also break down New York's 26-21 loss to Seattle, and preview an upcoming bout with the Miami Dolphins.

With the Jets cleaning house for a second time this season Blake & Teddy dive into the tenure of now-former Jets general manager Joe Douglas: what he did well in his tenure, what he did not do well, what choices/decisions were not made by himself and how much blame he actually deserves.

After the Jets humiliating 31-6 loss to the Arizona Cardinals Blake & Teddy decide to officially give up on another underwhelming season in New York and what went wrong along the way. They then discuss the future of the Jets: does Aaron Rodgers come back? What coaches can bridge the gap of winning now and building for the future? What players already in-house should be a part of the new era of Jets football? And to finish things off they preview the Indianapolis Colts coming into town and break down how these two teams match up against one another.

One week removed from the Jets Thursday night victory over the now 6-3 Houston Texans, Blake & Teddy discuss the glimpses of potency they saw from the offense: an efficient run game, volume targets for Garrett Wilson & Davante Adams, Olu Fashanu at guard. They also discuss the continued struggles versus the run but how the pass-rush has certainly started to find a groove getting to the quarterback. After that they break down the trade deadline and Mike Williams moving to Pittsburgh, Joe Douglas' press conference and not making any additions to the team before previewing a Jets/Cardinals game that is a perfect game for the Jets to sneak out a second-straight win.

It was a soul-crushing Jets loss on Sunday that officially put an end to any playoff hopes so Blake and Teddy break down what went wrong, who is to blame, what changes need to be mad and how soon they need to be made. They are, of course, favored against the Texans on Thursday Night Football, so they break down that game and how New York can get its third win of the season.

After a Jets second-half collapse to the Steelers that sent New York down to 2-5, Blake & Teddy discuss all the continuous (and new) issues with this Jets team and how things have gotten to this lowly point. They also discuss the path Garrett Wilson is on, Haasan Reddick's arrival and the need to blowout the Patriots to get some momentum going.

In the second straight chaotic week of following the New York Jets, Blake & Teddy dive into the 23-20 loss to the Bills: including the new-look offense with Todd Downing, the continuation of miscues and penalties, and individual players not living up to their previously known talent. Then they discuss the Davante Adams trade and the impact it will or will not have on this offense and the Jets 2024 outlook, how Haasan Reddick's new agent will at least help every side reach a conclusion (and soon) before previewing a can't lose game for New York against the Steelers if they want to keep their postseason hopes alive.

A shocking bomb was dropped around the NFL world on Tuesday morning when it was announced that Robert Saleh was no longer the head coach for the New York Jets following their 2-3 start to the season. Blake & Teddy dive into the decision and the timing of it, whether or not this is a move that changes anything for the 2024 season, the potentially promotion of Todd Downing to team play-caller, and a really cool moment for interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich. Then the two throw in some notes from the Jets loss to Minnesota in London, quick updates on the Davante Adams' trade rumors and preview an incredibly important AFC East bout with the Bills on Monday Night Football.

The Jets horrid and sloppy performance on Sunday versus the Broncos, something we've come accustomed to the last few seasons, has people questioning if New York has the right men in place leading this team. Blake & Teddy discuss if those conversations are just or if we need to remain patient before discussing Garrett Wilson's role in this offense so far this season, the defense's struggles vs the run and Davante Adams' availability and whether or not it makes sense for the Jets to move on. The two finish off the show by previewing the Jets/Vikings game in London, one that will feature former Jet and current NFL leader in passing touchdowns Sam Darnold who has Minnesota off to a 4-0 start.

They hype up the offensive line play we saw on Sunday, how the running backs have asserted themselves as the focal point of this offense, the heartbreaking loss of Jermaine Johnson for the season and an up-and-down start for the Jets defense as a whole. Then, after previewing this upcoming bout with the New England, they dish out their picks and predictions for the Jets third game of the season.

Sandwiched between the Jets season-opening loss to the 49ers and their Week 2 bout with the Tennessee Titans, Blake & Teddy discuss what concerns they walked away with from New York's lackluster showing on Monday Night Football and what panic storylines are being overblown. Is the run defense really as bad as it looked? How did Nathaniel Hackett do calling plays? Was Aaron Rodgers looking like his old self in his first full game with the Jets? The two also discuss Haasan Reddick's continued disappearance before previewing Jets at Titans: a game that should reset the mood in New York and validate all the preseason hopes surrounding them.

With the start of a new NFL season the boys are fired up and ready to wrap a bow on the Jets 2024 offseason: discussing final predictions and favorite bets they've placed, the 20,000th conversation around Haasan Reddick and Michael Carter II's three-year contract extension before breaking down and previewing the important MNF clash between the New York Jets and the San Fransisco 49ers.

With New York Jets training camp officially underway, Blake & Teddy share their thoughts on the most exciting (and stressful) stories to pay attention to as camps progress. Could Olu Fashanu carve out a starting role at right tackle? Are the potential 2025 replacements for DJ Reed and Michael Carter II already on the roster? All that plus fringe roster battles, Haasan Reddick's contract and preseason game QBs in the latest episode of Keeping Up With The New York Jets.

With everyone and their mothers talking about Davante Adams and the New York Jets, Blake & Teddy join in on the conversation and discuss whether or not a deal gets done, if one makes sense for the Jets (or Raiders) and why people feel so confident a deal happens when there's very little indication that there will be one.
