The Jets' endless search for a franchise quarterback takes center stage as Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber trace decades of disappointment from Joe Namath to Mark Sanchez, Sam Darnold and Zach Wilson. With another quarterback-heavy draft looming, Tiki argues the Jets need more than talent. They need the right coaching infrastructure to finally develop someone successfully.

Advanced booking required.CougarTribe: https://cougartribe.comIt's the last Monday before kickoff, and Dave McCann and Blaine Fowler open game week with a season-opener bonanza ahead of No. 14 BYU hosting Utah Tech. Dave and Blaine break down the newly released depth chart — Bear Bachmeier and LJ Martin atop the offense, a veteran-heavy defensive front, and real competition for reps behind the starters — before playing Kalani Sitake's own comments from his first regular-season media day. New BYUtv football analyst Jaren Hall, a former BYU starting quarterback and Minnesota Vikings draft pick, joins the show for his on-air debut, reflecting on the highs and lows of chasing an NFL roster spot, what's impressed him most about Bear Bachmeier, and reliving two of the wildest plays of his own BYU career: forcing the fumble recovery on the infamous Arizona State pick-six-that-wasn't and marveling at Puka Nacua's game-saving catch against Boise State. Volleyball's Elli Mortensen is honored as the Re-Lyte Athlete of the Week after a big weekend in Florida, and Utah Tech play-by-play voice Rod Zundel calls in to detail his Trailblazers' brutal 54-0 loss to defending FCS champion Montana State and to marvel at how quickly BYU has climbed from the WAC to Big 12 contender.BYU Alumni Association executive director Michael Johanson returns to preview a new home-game tradition called "Bringing It Home," anchored by a September 11 kickoff-week service event in downtown Provo called First Down Provo, plus the alumni association's continuing ice-cream giveaways for visiting fans and its road-game service projects in cities like Fort Collins, Fort Worth, Orlando and Lawrence.The show closes with two Hotel Park City/Ruth's Chris Super Fan interviews. Brothers Chris and Chad Lamb, whose father Terry Lamb spent years as a KSL television producer and director on BYU broadcasts, reminisce about working as sideline spotters for Dave and Blaine in college and play a round of "Where Were You?" running from the 1984 Holiday Bowl through Harvey Unga's 2007 game-winner over Utah. St. George's Chris and Cheryl Nelson then share an unforgettable story about running into BYU legend Vai Sikahema in a hospital elevator while Cheryl was in labor in 1985 — an encounter memorable enough that they later named their son Ty (after Ty Detmer) and their grandson Zach (after Zach Wilson). Both super-fan couples predict a Cougar win over Notre Dame this October, and the show wraps with the Redmond Roots Rollout's look back at BYU and sports history on August 31st. Hosted on Acast.

visit: https://www.ysguys.comDave McCann and Blaine Fowler open a truly global episode of Y's Guys — with viewers chiming in from Singapore, Cambodia, Italy, Australia, New Zealand and across Cougar Nation — by running down a stacked stretch of preseason news heading into the Sept. 5 opener against Utah Tech. BYU checks in at No. 6 in ESPN's preseason power rankings (per Mark Schlabach), running back LJ Martin picks up preseason Second Team All-America honors from USA Today and the AP along with Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year buzz, and Bret McMurphy's AP-voter research names BYU the single most underrated preseason team in the country over the last 12 years. National forecasters pile on from there: Stewart Mandel (New York Times) has BYU going 11-1 and winning the Big 12, while CBS Sports and CFB Kings both project the Cougars reaching the College Football Playoff.Former Cougar linebacker and current BYUtv football analyst Harvey Langi joins for the back half of the news segment, pulling back the curtain on NFL cutdown day — the anxiety of waiting for "the grim reaper" to call, and how some of the league's biggest stars (Taysom Hill, Zach Wilson, Todd Christensen, Fred Warner) turned early setbacks into Hall of Fame-caliber careers. He then breaks down what a healthy, more experienced Bear Bachmeier means for BYU's offense entering year two, how he'd scheme to defend him, and closes with his own ranking of BYU's five toughest games of the season — landing on Arizona, not Notre Dame, as the No. 1 measuring-stick game.The second hour brings the Re-Lyte Athlete of the Week (soccer's Emma Hamberlin, who scored twice to beat USC), a big basketball headline as BYU beats out Kentucky for transfer big man Jaxon Kohler, and a full campus-notes sweep across women's basketball (Delaney Gibb and Canada's run to the 2028 Olympic qualifying final), soccer, volleyball, cross country and baseball. Two Hotel Park City/Ruth's Chris BYU Super Fans round out the show — Greg Schroeder of Twin Falls, Idaho and Provo-studio guest Dean Taylor — each sharing their Cougar histories and playing a round of "Where Were You?" through classic BYU moments, before the Redmond Roots Rollout and a look ahead to next Monday's Game Week Bonanza with Jaren Hall, Rod Zundel, Adam Edmunds and Michael Johanson.Timestamps (approximate):0:00 – Show Open: Live From Singapore to Cambodia, Cougar Nation Tunes In9:31 – BYU vs. Utah Tech Game Week Details + BYU Cracks ESPN's Top 611:04 – LJ Martin's Historic Preseason All-American Honors12:54 – BYU Named Most Underrated Preseason Team in the Country16:27 – Stewart Mandel Predicts BYU Wins the Big 12 and Reaches the CFP21:11 – Week Zero College Football Preview + Cougars in the NFL Before Cutdown Day28:11 – Harvey Langi Joins the Show30:10 – Inside NFL Cutdown Day: Harvey Langi on the "Grim Reaper"35:11 – Harvey Langi on Taysom Hill, Zach Wilson & the Biggest Cuts in NFL History43:00 – How Would You Defend Bear Bachmeier?

There was almost nothing to like from the #Saints on Saturday in their worst preseason loss in 30 years. Zach Wilson? Awful. Spencer Rattler? Head-scratching. The defense? Horrendous. Is this a throwaway game or a sign of things to come? We asked Who Dats what they thought on Monday's Dattitude (Ep. 534) presented by Evangeline Securities.
Bobby reviewed the Saints' 34-0 loss to the LA Rams. Bobby slammed the Saints' penalties, evaluated the quarterbacks and kickers, and criticized the team's overall performance. Bobby also questioned Tyler Shough's pregame speeches. Bobby and Steve spoke to WWL listeners about the Saints' penalty issues, head coach Kellen Moore, and the team's quarterback situation.

Steve, Deuce, and Jeff discussed the Saints' backup quarterback battle between Spencer Rattler and Zach Wilson. Deuce projected Wilson to start the team's second preseason contest against the LA Rams. Stan Verrett, a host for NewOrleansSaints.com, joined Sports Talk. Verrett broke down his questions about the Saints' roster. He also evaluated Saints head coach Kellen Moore.
The Saints' preseason opener came with some encouraging performances — but the biggest news afterward was a major gut punch. Rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson is expected to miss around two months with a hamstring injury, putting his availability for the start of the regular season in serious question. Mario Jerez and Erin Summers discuss Tyson's injury history, Kellen Moore's explanation that this injury was different from Tyson's previous hamstring issues, and whether there's reason for optimism despite another setback. How much does Tyson's absence change the Saints' offense? Does Chris Olave now face significantly more pressure? Who steps up as the potential WR2? And should New Orleans consider adding a veteran receiver? The guys also break down the Saints' 24-20 preseason loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, including: Zach Wilson's impressive performance and whether the backup QB competition could become more interesting. A disappointing night for Spencer Rattler, who struggled to generate explosive plays and made some costly mistakes. Bub Means continuing to make his case with a strong 4-catch, 77-yard performance. Ty Chandler's 86-yard kickoff return getting the Saints off to a fast start. Jaylon Ford, Martin Emerson Jr. and Jayden Price making plays on defense. Why Martin Emerson could be one of the Saints' most underrated offseason additions. Michael Heldman's dominant night with two sacks and three tackles for loss. Barion Brown showing more of the playmaking ability we've been hearing about throughout training camp. Why Mario believes the Saints need to get Bryce Lance on the field in the next preseason game — and why Lance's college production is impossible to ignore. The latest on Christen Miller after his impressive preseason debut was cut short by injury. Plus, the Saints turn the page toward their second preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams.

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil continue to discuss the Broncos' backup quarterback situation and if Sam Ehlinger is a threat to take Jarrett Stidham's spot. What do the guys make of Ehlinger's impressive performances the last two days? Is Sean Payton setting up Ehlinger to be successful elsewhere like he did with Zach Wilson? Who profiles better to be the backup behind Bo Nix? We hear from Payton and his lengthy compliments for Ehlinger. We pivot back to the Broncos as a whole, and the guys debate what their identity on offense is. Are the Broncos throwing the ball too much compared to running the ball at training camp? Does the trio of Bo Nix, Sean Payton and Davis want to run the ball? Today's "Three Count" features what position group the guys are most concerned with the depth, Stephon Diggs set to sign with the Commanders on a one-year deal, and the Dodgers losing their 6th straight game today. With Jaylen Waddle and Courtland Sutton missing most of today's practice, why was Evan Engram still not making a big impact?
Recorded: July 20, 2022 | Fresh off of a week spent with "Man of the Year" candidate Zach Wilson, New York Jets Tight End CJ Uzomah joins the podcast this week. When the interview starts you don't have to wait long to hear the answer to the question the sports world has been wondering.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The pressure on Geno Smith keeps building as callers question whether he can make the Jets' expensive offense work. Tiki Barber points to Geno's 32 interceptions over the last two seasons and doubts he can recreate his Seattle success without the same depth at wide receiver. Evan Roberts argues that even a respectable version of Geno would still be a major upgrade for a franchise desperate to escape the bottom of the league. The conversation then turns to Garrett Wilson's staggering quarterback history. Evan and Tiki run through the long list of passers Wilson has played with, from Zach Wilson and Mike White to Aaron Rodgers, Tim Boyle and Trevor Siemian, exposing just how much instability the star receiver has endured.

The final hour of Evan & Tiki gets wild with a controversial quarterback debate, breaking New York Giants ownership news, and plenty of sports chaos.
The Jets quarterback carousel rolls on and Evan Roberts is convinced he's cracked the code. After weeks of hints, comments, and speculation, Evan believes Derek Carr is destined to land with the Jets. But Tiki isn't buying it and thinks the Jets might be getting played. The guys break down why Carr might actually want New York, why Minnesota could still be the best football situation, and what the Jets truly need at quarterback right now. They also debate Daniel Jones' situation after receiving the transition tag, why the Vikings could make sense as a landing spot, and what it would take for Indianapolis to let him walk. Plus, callers weigh in with wild quarterback ideas including Geno Smith, Zach Wilson, and the possibility of the Jets absorbing Tua's contract just to grab a first-round pick.
Evan and Tiki dive into the latest Jets quarterback buzz and debate whether Derek Carr to New York is actually starting to feel inevitable. From Carr's hints to the possibility of the Jets choosing competence over chaos, the guys break down what makes the most sense and why Minnesota may still be the biggest threat if Carr truly wants to win. They also get into Daniel Jones' strange market, possible Vikings interest, and some truly wild QB possibilities involving Geno Smith, Zach Wilson, and even Tua. Plus, the conversation shifts to Yankees camp as Aaron Boone's live “damn it” moment steals the show, Ryan McMahon gets tested at shortstop, and George Lombard continues making noise in spring training.
With NFL free agency about to begin and the legal tampering period right around the corner, Evan and Tiki break out one of their favorite traditions: Quarterback Bingo. The guys predict landing spots for the most intriguing quarterbacks expected to hit the market, including Aaron Rodgers, Derek Carr, Kyler Murray, Russell Wilson, Kirk Cousins, Tua Tagovailoa, Anthony Richardson, Malik Willis, and Zach Wilson. Could Rodgers return to Pittsburgh? Could Derek Carr land with the Jets? Is Kyler Murray headed to Minnesota? The predictions get wild, and Shaun Morash even checks in from Disney's Tower of Terror to submit his own QB Bingo card. As the NFL quarterback carousel gets ready to spin, the guys try to guess where every major name will land before the chaos begins.
Evan Roberts is out, so the crew dives headfirst into the chaos of NFL Combine week and why it matters way more than the televised drills. With Aaron Glenn and Darren McGee speaking soon, the focus turns to the real Combine story: quarterbacks, leverage, and job security. The big debate: should the Jets follow the “Giants model” by taking a premium non QB early, then swinging on a quarterback with pick 16 as a built-in “golden ticket” for the regime? Ty Simpson becomes the lightning rod, with arguments flying about upside, mobility, injury context, and whether a “Tony Romo ceiling” is worth a first round investment. Plus, the show tackles the alternative path: waiting for the supposedly stronger 2027 QB class, grabbing a later round value like Garrett Nussmeier, and how optics and draft slot can shape a quarterback's runway. Jets fans call in with strong takes on spending premium picks, the scars of the Zach Wilson era, and whether this franchise can develop any quarterback at all.
The guys bounce from 19th-century presidential conspiracies to the grim reality of the New York Jets' quarterback carousel. After debating whether modern society would actually care if a massive Abraham Lincoln assassination cover-up dropped today (and taking a quick detour into the FCC's rules on cursing inspired by George Carlin), it's back to the gridiron. The crew brutally assesses Zach Wilson's extinct NFL future, comparing his trajectory to Sam Darnold's redemption arc, and debates where a newly released Geno Smith fits into the backup QB landscape. Finally, they highlight the biggest under-the-radar offseason priority in New York: why re-signing offensive lineman Alijah Vera-Tucker is an absolute must, regardless of his injury history or projected $14 million market value.
In this jam-packed segment, we kick things off with the return of Mets and Yankees baseball, breaking down the actual storylines of spring training—from top prospects like Carson Benge to the MLB's new Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) challenge system. We explain why the TV strike zone box is disappearing and how the new challenge rules will impact players and fans alike. Switching gears to the gridiron, we debate the Jets' quarterback options, detailing why Zach Wilson is universally crossed off the free-agent list and why Geno Smith might actually be a viable backup option. Then, we make an impassioned plea regarding the one Jets free agent no one is talking about: Alijah Vera-Tucker. To top it all off, we take a hilarious detour into historical hypotheticals, asking the ultimate pop-culture question: if we found out Mary Todd Lincoln was behind Abe's assassination, would anyone with today's short attention spans actually care?

Sam Darnold is one win from the Super Bowl, and Jets fans have no idea what to do with themselves. On one hand, they still like Sam and want to see him succeed. On the other, they can already feel what's coming next: two straight weeks of “LOL Jets” takes if Seattle punches the ticket. The guys relive the Jets era, the “seeing ghosts” moment that became a defining label, and the decision to move on for Zach Wilson. They debate alternate history: what if the Jets kept Darnold, traded back, and built the roster right? Plus, how much credit does Sam deserve for Seattle's run, and why this feels even more brutal than watching Saquon win with the Eagles. Also: the poll results, and which fan base actually has it worse.
A Jets fan dilemma: Sam Darnold is one win from the Super Bowl, and the fan base is split between rooting for a guy they still like and bracing for the avalanche of “LOL Jets” takes that would follow. The guys revisit how the Jets handled Darnold, how the “seeing ghosts” moment became a career-defining label, and why moving on for Zach Wilson still feels like the franchise's biggest sliding doors decision. They also debate how much credit Darnold deserves for Seattle's success, why Jets fans fear two weeks of nonstop relitigating, and whether this would be more embarrassing than Giants fans watching Saquon win it all in Philly. Plus, the poll question that could start an all-out NY fan war.
