The biggest goal is simple: avoid another embarrassing season and show meaningful progress from September through December.

The Jets may be staring at another long season. Brian Costello joins Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber from Pittsburgh and puts their ceiling at seven wins, while explaining why Aaron Glenn deserves the full season to prove he can make this team competitive.

Geno Smith needs to play in the preseason, and the Jets cannot afford to treat him like an established quarterback who can simply show up Week 1 ready to roll. The case is made for giving Smith significant reps with the starters as he learns another new offense, builds chemistry and tries to establish himself as the leader of the team. Aaron Glenn remains vague about his plans, while the strong preseason showing from Cade Klubnik creates another layer of intrigue. The conversation also turns to why the Jets should keep Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall even if the season goes sideways, plus a surprisingly deep New York Red Bulls and NYCFC debate.

Geno Smith needs real preseason work, and Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber believe the Jets cannot afford to ease him into the season. With Smith learning another new offense, they argue he needs reps with the starters, a chance to establish himself as the offensive leader, and enough game action to be ready for Week 1. They also debate whether strong play from Cade Klubnik could eventually create pressure at quarterback. The Yankees could have another bullpen weapon coming in Luis Gil, while George Lombard Jr.'s remarkable defense continues to turn heads. Evan also unloads on the Mets over Jorge Polanco, Ronny Mauricio and the decision to move on from Pete Alonso, while the conversation hits Paul Goldschmidt's decline, fan interference, and even the New York Red Bulls.

Jaxson Dart has already been sent to the blue medical tent six times, putting him just one trip behind Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen for their entire careers. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate whether Dart's playing style is the real problem or whether NFL spotters are treating the Giants quarterback with extra caution. They break down the hit against Minnesota, Tyrone Tracy's missed block, Dart's belief that he is being targeted, and why these interruptions could become a serious problem once the regular season begins. The conversation also turns to the Jets after Cade Klubnik's brief preseason opportunity. Evan comes away intrigued and frustrated that Aaron Glenn gave the rookie only two drives, while Tiki explains why the Jets may not want to create an unnecessary quarterback controversy with Geno Smith.

Cade Klubnik got only two preseason drives, but it was enough to leave Evan Roberts intrigued and wondering why Aaron Glenn pulled him so quickly. With Geno Smith sitting out because of an ankle issue, Klubnik showed enough against Tampa Bay to separate himself from Bailey Zappe and Brady Cook, even if Evan is not ready to call for a change at starter. Tiki Barber explains why giving Klubnik too much preseason runway could create an unwanted quarterback controversy if the rookie starts building momentum. Evan still believes Geno is the better option to open the season, but if the Jets spiral later in the year, Klubnik could quickly become the quarterback everyone wants to see.

Jaxson Dart's second season could define the Giants' future at quarterback. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate how much progress Dart must show, why year-two improvement is so important for franchise quarterbacks, and whether comparisons to Josh Allen and Eli Manning strengthen the case that New York should know exactly what it has by season's end. The Giants also bring in Najee Harris for a visit, raising questions about Tyrone Tracy and the running back room. Plus, Kodai Senga's surprising bullpen success creates a new Mets debate, Joe Burrow's future in Cincinnati comes under scrutiny, Cade Klubnik flashes for the Jets in the preseason, and Tommy John's remarkable legacy sparks a Hall of Fame conversation.

Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber, and Paul Rosenberg debate Jaxson Dart's tendency to wind up in the NFL's infamous "blue tents," the Yankees' survival, why Evan isn't buying the Mets hype, and whether or not Cade Klubnik looked like a real NFL quarterback in the preseason.

Aaron Glenn could be trapped by the Jets' biggest weakness. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber, and they debate whether an elite defense can save Glenn if Geno Smith and the offense fail to score enough points. With the Jets potentially forced to win on the margins, every game could become part of the evaluation of Glenn's future. The Yankees also face a looming October lineup problem. Jazz Chisholm's struggles against lefties spark a debate over Luis Garcia Jr., Giancarlo Stanton, Trent Grisham and how Aaron Boone can keep his best bats in the lineup. Plus, the Giants' running back situation, Cade Klubnik's opportunity, J.J. McCarthy speculation, Tiki's rookie encounter with Christian Peter, and the return of football tailgates at MetLife.

Jaxson Dart should play against Minnesota, but only if the Giants protect him with their starting tackles. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber as they break down what Dart must show in Matt Nagy's offense and why this preseason opportunity matters. The Jets need David Bailey to flash immediately, especially with Giants rookie Orville Reese creating an unavoidable comparison across town. Plus, Odell Beckham Jr. enters a fascinating fight to keep his NFL career alive, the Giants' wide receiver and cornerback rooms face major questions, and Cade Klubnik gets a chance to prove the Jets have something behind Geno Smith.

Jaxson Dart should play in the Giants' preseason opener, but Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber agree it needs to be a real dress rehearsal with his starting tackles protecting him. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki as they lay out what they need to see from Dart and why simple quarterback competency matters more than flashy highlights. For the Jets, David Bailey enters the spotlight with enormous expectations and an inevitable comparison to Giants rookie Orville Reese. Cade Klubnik also gets a major opportunity behind Geno Smith. Plus, Odell Beckham Jr. fights for a roster spot in what could be his final NFL chance, while questions surround the Giants' wide receiver depth and Malik Nabers' health.

Cade Klubnik has a real opportunity to make the Jets rethink their quarterback plans, but Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber agree he has to earn it. Geno Smith remains the safer choice for Aaron Glenn, especially with so many young offensive pieces whose development could suffer if the rookie quarterback isn't ready. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber as they also dive into the Giants' biggest preseason questions. Orville Reese has fans dreaming about a return to the franchise's physical linebacker identity, while Colton Hood gets an important early test in a cornerback room filled with uncertainty. Plus, the Jets' tight ends could give their offense a major matchup advantage.

The Titans looked so bad in preseason that Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber are already raising the stakes for the Jets' Week 1 opener. Cam Ward struggled badly, Cor'Dale Flott was getting beaten in coverage, and Tennessee suddenly looks like a team the Jets simply cannot afford to lose to. Garrett Wilson could have a major opportunity if Flott's issues carry into the regular season. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber as they also debate Geno Smith's leash and what Cade Klubnik needs to show in the preseason. If the Jets stumble early, could Klubnik become a real option, or would turning away from Geno only create more chaos?

The Jets may be better off resisting the urge to chase another quarterback and simply letting this season play out. Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber debate whether J.J. McCarthy would really solve anything, why Aaron Glenn's future complicates the quarterback picture, and how the Jets' three first-round picks could make next year's draft the cleanest path to finding their future at the position. Cade Klubnik also gets a chance to create some optimism with a big preseason performance. Plus, the return of football at MetLife brings a heated tailgate food debate, Geno Smith and Odell Beckham Jr. jerseys make a comeback, and the crew celebrates another edition of Idiots with Idioms.

The Titans already have New York's attention after an ugly preseason showing from Cam Ward and former Giants corner Cor'Dale Flott. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber, and they explain why Tennessee's struggles only crank up the pressure on the Jets to win Week 1. With Flott getting beaten repeatedly and Garrett Wilson waiting in the opener, the Jets could have a matchup they need to exploit. Shaun and Tiki also debate Geno Smith's leash, what Cade Klubnik must prove in the preseason, and why Aaron Glenn's defense could determine whether the Jets finally show real progress. Plus, Shaun argues Yankee Stadium is getting shafted by MLB's All-Star Game rotation, and the guys question why Giants legend and Hall of Famer Harry Carson still hasn't had his number retired.

https://api.spreaker.com/v2/episodes/73881118/download.mp3 The Jets and Bucs met for a second consecutive day and things weren’t quite as testy.  After several fights on day one, this session saw far fewer incidents.  But who stood out? – Edge rusher David Bailey was very impressive yet again, winning several battles in the trenches and coming away with a few would-be sacks. – Cade Klubnik threw a beautiful deep ball for a 50-yard touchdown to second-year receiver Arian Smith.  Some say it may have been the best pass of camp for any Jets QB. – Geno Smith went 10-17 on the day in 11-on-11s and did a better job of protecting the ball than he did yesterday when he tossed three interceptions. – Aaron Glenn revealed that cornerback Qwan’tez Stiggers is in concussion protocol.  Stiggers passed out and temporarily lost consciousness yesterday. – The Jets secondary got carved up by Baker Mayfield who, at one point, led the Bucs on a 65-yard touchdown drive. – Wide receiver AD Mitchell stayed hot and scored a touchdown in 7-on-7s after getting open on a regular basis on day 1 but couldn’t do much as Geno Smith struggled with his accuracy. – While cornerback D’Angelo Ponds has been out and won’t be back next week, Aaron Glenn anticipates an increased workload next week. – Tight end Jeremy Ruckert had the catch of the day as he twisted and contorted to pull in an off-target throw early in the session. – The Jets will face the Bucs at MetLife Stadium this Friday night at 7pm, where we’ll see if there’s any carryover from a chippy two days of joint sessions.The post David Bailey Shines Again on day 2 of Joint Session With Bucs appeared first on JetNation.com - New York Jets Blog & Forum.

J.J. McCarthy's rapid fall in Minnesota has the Jets facing an intriguing opportunity. Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber argue that New York should at least explore adding the former first-round pick, especially with Geno Smith and Cade Klubnik leaving major uncertainty at quarterback. The price matters, but the Jets cannot afford to stop taking swings at finding their long-term answer.

Cade Klubnik's first Jets training camp is already testing Tiki Barber's optimism. Tiki sees the fourth-round quarterback as a true developmental project who must earn everything, and his early camp performance has not changed that reality. He explains why rookie quarterbacks face an enormous learning curve and uses former Giants teammate Jeremy Shockey as the rare example of a rookie who arrived instantly prepared for the NFL.

While the offense looked better, the Jets' secondary faced difficulties as Baker Mayfield sliced them up. Meanwhile, it was another strong day for David Bailey. Jeremy Ruckert, Mason Taylor, and Cade Klubnik also did well. This is a public episode.

Tiki Barber is already putting Geno Smith on notice, declaring that Cade Klubnik should get the QB1 if he outplays the veteran in training camp and the preseason. Plus, Evan and Tiki can already see the Jets' use of AI going hilariously wrong. Boomer and Gio wonder if Aaron Glenn's job is tied to how Geno performs this season, and The Carton Show reacts to Plaxico Burress comparing playing for the Jets to being in prison.

Tiki Barber is already putting Geno Smith on notice, declaring that Cade Klubnik should get the QB1 if he outplays the veteran in training camp and the preseason. Plus, Evan and Tiki can already see the Jets' use of AI going hilariously wrong. Boomer and Gio wonder if Aaron Glenn's job is tied to how Geno performs this season, and The Carton Show reacts to Plaxico Burress comparing playing for the Jets to being in prison.

The Jets are running a terrible backup plan behind Geno Smith, relying on fourth-round rookie Cade Klubnik, Bailey Zappe, and Brady Cook. C-Lo returns with updates on Cruz walking in the White Sox win in eleven, a pissed-off Aaron Boone, and Luis Robert Jr lifting the Mets past the Marlins. Plus, Mookie Wilson admits on the Carton show he didn't want to be up in big spots, and Gio claims Rami's day off to see Mumford & Sons was a total weather bust.

The Tiki Time Machine goes back to the Jets drafting Geno Smith in 2013, and the old WFAN reactions are stunning in hindsight. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash revisit takes from Boomer Esiason, Craig Carton, Joe Benigno, Mike Francesa and a much younger Evan, then decide Francesa came closest to identifying the pick for what it really was: a second-round gamble on a quarterback the Jets did not truly love. The archives also uncover a young Tommy Lugauer receiving an on-air assignment from Boomer and Carton before delivering a polished sports minute on J.R. Smith. The nostalgia leads back to a familiar Jets problem, as Geno Smith's draft-day slide is compared to Cade Klubnik and the impossible criticism teams face when deciding how long to wait on a quarterback.

The Jets finally appear to have enough offensive talent to escape years of misery, but Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber agree everything depends on Geno Smith. Evan sees a potential playoff formula built around Breece Hall, Garrett Wilson, an improved offensive line and Frank Reich, while Tiki fears Geno's recent turnovers and offseason distractions could wreck the entire plan. Their biggest disagreement centers on rookie Cade Klubnik. Tiki believes the fourth-round pick should get a legitimate chance if he outplays Geno, but Evan argues the Jets' most realistic path to surprising the league requires Smith to rediscover his Seattle form. With the franchise chasing its first top-half offense since 2015, the quarterback decision could determine whether the Jets finally escape the abyss.

Robert Saleh is reportedly predicting that Tennessee will beat the Jets in Week 1, and Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash immediately turn his trash talk into bulletin-board material. With Garrett Wilson preparing to catch passes from yet another quarterback and Cade Klubnik already generating training camp buzz, the Jets' endless search for stability remains impossible to ignore. The bigger concern is Aaron Glenn's defense. Eight new starters, questions about the overall talent and Glenn taking over the play-calling create enormous pressure for a team that may finally have enough offensive weapons to surprise people. The conversation then turns to a franchise-changing possibility: abandoning the rookie-quarterback cycle and pursuing Baker Mayfield if he ever becomes available.

The Jets have invested heavily in their offense, but everything still hinges on Geno Smith. Evan Roberts believes a strong offensive line, Breece Hall, Garrett Wilson and Frank Reich give the Jets a legitimate path toward meaningful football in the winter. Tiki Barber is far less convinced, questioning whether the 36-year-old quarterback can overcome his recent turnovers and offseason distractions. Their disagreement quickly turns to rookie Cade Klubnik. Tiki insists the fourth-round pick deserves a real opportunity if he outplays Geno, while Evan argues the Jets' most realistic chance of surprising the league requires Smith to rediscover his Seattle form. They also react to Aaron Glenn's new approach, Garrett Wilson predicting a special season and the staggering amount of premium draft capital the Jets have spent trying to build a functioning offense.

Robert Saleh is reportedly promising that Tennessee will beat the Jets in Week 1, and Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash are ready to put his trash talk on the bulletin board. The challenge for Aaron Glenn is proving this Jets team can match its offensive talent with a defense featuring eight new starters and a head coach staking his reputation on his own play-calling. The quarterback debate remains impossible to escape. Geno Smith enters camp with questions, Cade Klubnik is already generating buzz, and the possibility of pursuing Baker Mayfield sparks a larger argument about whether the Jets should finally abandon their failed quarterback-development cycle. The Tiki Time Machine then revisits WFAN's reaction to the 2013 Geno Smith draft pick, revealing which hosts nailed the moment and how little the franchise's quarterback conversation has changed.

Geno Smith is barely into training camp, and Tiki Barber is already demanding that Cade Klubnik remain a real option if the veteran struggles. Evan Roberts pushes back on the rush toward a fourth-round rookie, but the debate exposes how little confidence surrounds the Jets' quarterback situation. Aaron Glenn declares there will be no slogans or hype after his difficult first season, while Garrett Wilson insists the Jets have a special opportunity to play meaningful football into the winter. Evan and Tiki also examine the massive collection of premium draft picks invested in Breece Hall, Wilson, the offensive line and the tight end room. After years near the bottom of the NFL, there are no excuses left for another dysfunctional Jets offense.
