(00:23):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Boom Greetings, Welcome inside.
Blah blah blah blah blah, b j et t Eat Debt,
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon. Steve de Seger
in for Harmon tonight. I haven't maintained what I said
(00:46):
last night. If the Jets lose tonight, which is looking
extremely likely because they've played dead from the neck up
since the beginning of the game. Uh, it's okay. I'm
on vacation starting tomorrow. I don't have to worry about
the Jets I have to worry about. I'll keep an
eye on the Carlos Corea physical when the results come
in tomorrow, it will be fine. But everything else I
don't need to worry about it. I don't need to
(01:07):
worry about the Jets. After so they're putting you out
of your misery officially tonight, as they sink, yes, it would.
It's almost the equivalent of when the Mets lose big.
If they lose it like on a getaway day, like
on a Monday, and it's like, oh, the Mets lost today.
They've lost the Rockies ten three. But at least they
got the losing out of the way earlier. I could
go on with my day. I have to worry about
(01:29):
I have to worry about all the Mets anything. They
get a big win tonight, they can win, they can finish,
they can win the series, and then move on. Hey,
if you're gonna lose like that, lose early in the day. Hey,
if you're gonna if you're gonna lose and get eliminated,
because suddenly you realize that you have all kinds of
problems that you never were able to fix. At least
you're doing it now, and I'm okay with it. It's
all Bob'll be all right, all right now, I can
move on. I got my vacation starting tomorrow. It'll be terrific.
(01:50):
I don't have to worry about anything. I just wait.
I'll watch the Syracuse Bowl game. Next week. That that's
all I need, Steve to say her. Whatever helps you sleep,
I guess we'll support you in this. But there are times,
many times tonight where I felt like, are the Jets
even there on the field? What what is going on here?
And you've heard the booing, of course from the home fans,
from you know, the faithful, and I think that's the
(02:13):
proper term that have had their hopes up at points
this season, and my goodness, is it crashing the last month.
It is insane. It is absolutely insane. Look, i'll tell
you what's going on right now. That the Jaguars are
beating the Jets thirteen three, They were about to most
likely kick a field goal to go up sixteen three
in this game. The Jets offense has been abysmal. Yes,
(02:35):
it's raining, but the Jaguars are figure to watching this game,
I can tell you, I'm shocked, Steve, shocked that the
Jaguars looked like coming in they had a game plan,
they knew what they wanted to do to execute it,
and they're doing it. And the Jets just looked like,
we're gonna throw the same stuff out there and and
hope maybe because it's a different day that it works
because the Jets offense is abysmal, it's too predictable. The
(02:58):
Jaguars defense stinks. They stink as bad as the Jet stink. Overall.
The Jaguars defense stinks and they are stopping and they're
on top of every play the Jets want to run,
and Zack Wilson still is not accurate with the football.
So you have everything is on display right now with
the Jets that Zack Wilson is bad. Now you have
to question, is the system they're running we're worth it
(03:20):
because you have everybody stopping this Now at some point
you have to understand, well, we do have pretty good
playmakers on the field of different positions. It can't all
be the quarterback. The system and what you're running has
to be to blame as well, because you're not executing
it right. You're not executing anything. So if you can't
execute and you had still had trouble with Mike White
when he was in there, how good of of of
it can it be? Because you have some good wide receivers,
(03:43):
you have a decent couple of tight ends, your offensive
line is okay, they're a little leaky tonight, couple of
injuries but buy and largely offensive line has been good,
and you just look like you can't do anything. This
is just absolutely abysmal. And before you can say, well
the weather is what, you know what the Jaguars even
move in the flo ball Okay, they seem to know
exactly what they want to do. Trevor Lawrence is is
(04:04):
knows exactly what he wants to do with the football.
He's making all the right decisions. And while it's been
tough because the Jets defense is tough, the backbreaking plays
running the football, he's scrambled, he's got fifty yards running.
They they'll get a big play to Evan Ingram when
they want to. They're staying away from Sauce Gardner and
and DJ Read and they're doing exactly what they want to,
which is what you expect the team. Hey, we're gonna
(04:25):
game plan and know exactly what we want to do
on Thursday night. And I feel like the Jets and well,
let's just keep doing the same things and hopefully we're
gonna catch lightning in a bottle. This is just absolutely
the Jets saying we're done with this season. Right. Sometimes
sometimes the first the first beginning of a game can
can tell you about the entire game is going to
be and the beginning of the game. Quinnin Williams, who's
(04:47):
one of the best defensive linemen and in all of
football probably is is an All Pro defensive tackle, makes
the big play, the sack of Lawrence, They get the
fumble and the Jets offense goes nowhere and kicks a
field goal. I feel like all the energy was let
out of the stadium, out of the team at that point,
where it's look at the problems we have. We have
a golden opertunity, have the ball in the fifteen yard
line and we can't get more than two yards, and
(05:08):
now we're kicking a field goal. And from from that play,
it's been a gradual downhill of the Jets offense, the
defense playing as well as they can, but still the
Jaguars moving the football on him enough. And it's just
been from from that beginning of the game. Sometimes that
sets such a big tone, and that's what happened tonight.
All these things are happening, Steve, my head is going
in a thousand different directions right now. After the early
(05:31):
Jets field goal and a brief three nothing lead, Jacksonville
answered with a field goal, and now Riley Patterson has
kicked his third field goal of the night. He's booted
him from thirty two yards forty five and now from
forty one yards out. So here's where it stands. Mid
third quarter, Jets at home are not only losing to
Jacksonville sixteen to three. Now on the stat sheet it
(05:52):
is sixteen first downs to three. Is that good? I
repeat out loud. The Jets offense has three first downs
where in the third quarter, I'll say officially, no, that
is not good. And you talked about what the Jets
have out there on offense, what they have as far
(06:13):
as defense means you don't need to have a ton
on offense. Am I right? In this? This is not
like last year where Justin Herbert had to score forty
points and multiple games to have a chance to win.
This is quite the opposite. Can you get me twenty something?
It's like the Raiders. Actually, can the offense just get
me something? We're gonna be closed, We're gonna be in
these games. Jets offense doing zip tonight. That's why. That's
(06:37):
why I'm telling you it's the quarterback, it's the system.
It's just not it's the whole team. Jason stops the
whole team. Come on, not good? Come on, the whole
team stinks. We put three Pro bowlers on in the
Pro Bowl. We have four Pro bowlers this year. What
does not have to do with stinking defense? Because the
defense is good, the offense stinks. The defense is good. Yeah,
(06:57):
well when when? When nothing good about this Jets team?
What do you expect? I just stop. You can pile
on the offense, but stop, pilot. Really you have three points? Yeah, okay,
if you change all the Jets, if the defense was
so good, where's their touchdown? Where's the defense's touchdown? Oh? Sure,
that's we need. We need to defense. We need three
defensive touches, you would think, so if you were that great,
(07:18):
we'll need three. They've held him to three field goals
and the one t Jags got was on a ninety
six yard touchdown drive and over eight minute drive, sixteen
to three, about seven minutes left in the third and
you know, we can't call this election. But some of
the places reporting the best part about all this, Steve,
is the Jets could have had Trevor Lawrence had not
(07:40):
won that extra game, had Frank Gore not won that
game for you. We're gonna win a couple of Jason
could have been watching Trevor Lawrence take his Jets to
the playoffs. Instead he gets Zack Wilson, Jets, Zack Wilson
and instead. Now the Jets are gonna wind up being
the Pete Davidson of the NFL and the office because
they're gonna be linked with every quarterback every single day,
(08:03):
every day. I want a new rumor, Hey, gets with
the Jets are talking to now. They're talking to the
Packers about Aaron Rodgers. They're talking to Tom Brady's people.
They're talking to Bills about John are talking to Kim
Kardashian there, they're talking to Chiefs about Patrick Mahomes there.
I want that they're gonna be the Pete Davidson of
the NFL. They're talking to Ariana Grande. What is she
(08:24):
can't she's too short, she can't possibly play for this team? No, no, no,
she could throw some jump passes. I've seen it happen.
She's better than Zach Wilson. Would throw a jump pass
and hit the center right in the small in the bags,
better than Zach Wilson. Hey, do you think Zach Wilson
couldn't do that. Absolutely, Zach Wilson at eighty four yards
passing tonight, it's Trevor Lawrence close to two yards passing tonight.
(08:48):
It's one of those games where you get on your
computer and you keep hitting refreshed, going, oh boy, have
refreshed while he's got eighty four yards passing. Oh no, no, no,
that's eighty four yards. Still says three first down. That's
what it was at halftime. By the way, it's still
three first downs for j Yeah, that's eighty four yards.
And for all the calls of the Jets have to
make a quarterback change at halftime, Joe Flacco stinks too. Okay,
(09:08):
who are they going? Wh what do you really want? Who?
What do you really want? The Jets have completely position.
You know, if this was two thousand eight, i'd agree
with you, boy, we'd be great. But the Jets have
completely They've whipped on the quarterback position. Their bet, their
their whole hope of the season is is that an
undrafted guy that they got off the Cowboys roster and
(09:30):
Mike White can be really good. Think about that for
a second. That's where you're at the Jet There's nobody
you're bringing Joe Flacking. They wrote him in for one
play last week. He fumble and it contributed to the Laws.
Now again, Adam, Now, Zack Wilson's got to play. They've
completely mismanaged the quarterback position and that's why they are
going to be and I'm telling you they're gonna be
in every single quarterback who's out there, who may or
(09:51):
may not be upset with uh their team, not Hey,
someone liked a post that ripped the head coach. Let's
call them to see if they're a available. Let's call
they have to be linked with every single quarterback next
year and you know what, probably a new offensive system
because this is not working either, right, Yeah, it's it's
not even even when Mike White the last couple of
weeks they couldn't score touchdots. I don't know what you want.
(10:13):
The third round saw Davis Mills selected. In that draft
that you referenced, it went Trevor Lawrence number one overall
to the Jags, and then the Jets Zach Wilson, and
then the forty Niners got Trey Lance also in the
top half of that first round, which Justin Fields taken
and Mac Jones your favorite and correct me if I'm wrong.
You've talked about him a lot for a third rounder.
(10:34):
Davis Mills has actually had somewhat of an NFL career
so far. He's had a way better and he's you know,
he's going in and out. He's playing every other play
like like Steve Spurrier is running the team. And he's
still better than Zach Wilson. He's part of a two
quarterback system in Houston, and he's still better than Jason.
Your daughter, Zoey's better than Zach Wilson because though he's
(10:55):
got an arm, I'll tell you, Zoe, he could throw
You don't even need an arm. You can have no arms.
You're better than Zach Wilson. Just zip that ball over
the Your quarterback has no arms, no trust me. Watch
what he does watching that's what they started. He'll just
kick the football out, big spiral. It's gonna be literally,
somebody with no arms is better than Za Wilson. Now
we are not calling this game yet because they why not?
Why not be as you referenced a defensive touchdown, you're
(11:17):
not calling two or three defensive touchdown. You know, just
too and the Jets are right back this game over
in the first quarter. Uh, honestly, no, I'm being serious.
That first drive they get the sack, the fumble, if
you can call it. It's an awful start. The offensive
it wasn't quite I mean, I guess they went for
(11:39):
where and it was in the games. You couldn't get
a better start offensively for a struggling team to be
handed the ball at the fifteen yard right from a
guy who is your best player on Dave, one of
the best players in the NFL. You didn't know if
he was gonna play. He's playing tonight, and he makes
a huge play and it ratchets up everybody. The stadium
(12:01):
is electric, and you go and that's it. And I
really I feel that took all everything and the energy,
all all the air out of the balloon for the
Jets and that and that's part of what's got And
plus Zach Wilson is terrible and the Jets, I mean,
I don't know what, I don't know what. What do
you want me to say? And then they punted on
the next three drives, and then the interception and then
(12:21):
another punt and now they have to get everything surrounding
the Jets offense is bad. Everything surrounding it. But the
difference is good. Yeah, the defense is really good, but
this defense is really good. A normal, regular, not above
average NFL offense could do something with that defense. Jets
are not doing well. It just points out what I know,
(12:45):
what you're saying. But the Jets there you go. So
they got people's hopes up at seven and four and
that was that. That was the highlight of the season.
We're live from the tire rack dot Com studios tirac
dot com. I'll help you get there and unmatched selection,
fast free shipping, free has protection over ten thousand recommended installers.
Tire rack dot com the way tire buying should be.
(13:05):
So again, this is why I root for the Jets,
so you don't have to alright, my team stinks, so
you can feel better about your team. It's like it's
like when that that old when you buy a new
car and and and they would call you, Hey, you
enjoying your new car? Everything great? All right, we want
you to feel good about that car you bought. Okay,
I'm making people feel better about their teams that they're underachieving,
not playing well because the team that they didn't buy. Yeah,
(13:27):
at least I'm not a Jets fan, so I mean,
even seven and seven, it seems like the Jets are
two Lions. Fans are feeling great right now. Oh are
you kidding? Oh my god, the Lion by comparison, they're awesome.
Oh they feel so good. Yeah, Jets suck that suck,
Nick suck. Stop no, stop stop. We don't have the
physical report on today's were broke. They're taking their time. Well,
(13:50):
then we'll spend three and a million dollars on something else.
It doesn't matter what broke. We're gonna buy Otani. We're
gonna get We're gonna go to Tani. We're gonna get
to and get a shoehorn Trevor Bauer into the road
out there, Steve, No, no, no, the update coming out.

Steve to segerin from Mike Harmon Hobo and you know
what you think You've seen it all j et Et Jets.
The Jets have made a change at quarterback Zach Wilson
(14:33):
is out in the game. Joe flat no in the game,
Joe name it no in the game, Boomer inside no
in the game. For the Jets, a quarterback Chris Straveler
just elevated today to the active roster. How much do
(14:54):
they hate Joe Flatco? Hey, Joe, sorry, man, We're really
not gonna go with you. He's too good for this team.
Not why they're leaving him on the on the sidel
He's too good. He's he's Traveler, Hey, Chris Traveler, great
Cup champion. Okay, just that, you gotta put some respect
on his name. Hey, guys, you're not You're not gonna
believe it. We actually have a Jets fan from the game. On, hold,
(15:14):
we do. We have a Jets right from the game.
He's saying he's out nut life and it was loud
in the background. So I don't I'm not sure what's
going on here. Okay, all right, so we should go.
We gotta go. Let's go to Let's go to the
Jets fan who is live at the game. Let's go ahead.
It's really rainy and windy here. It's very wet. But
I don't know what's wetter. I don't know what's wetther
(15:36):
me or the value of Jack Wilson in the National
Football League right now? He just got benched for Chris Trembler.
What are he's going on? We want Joe Namith, we
want Jet Pennington. Hell, at this point, we'll take Mark Sanchey. Unbelievable.
Jason Smith, I told you when the Jets draft and
(15:58):
Jack Wilson that I was not going to work out.
Why because the Jets can't draft quarterbacks in the first
two rounds and have any since that's ever. They haven't
done it right since Joe name it, and that was
a long time ago. Smith, I think you were still
around at that point, right, because you're you know, you're
you're an older gentleman. This is not what the Jets
need to do. I told you they should never draft
a quarterback again in one of the first two rounds.
(16:19):
They should use those picks on offensive, skilled players defense
whenever the case. Maybe and then you go out and
you get a guy like Jimmy Garoppolo, and then maybe
you win a championship. But once again, the New York
Checks the worst team in the National Football League in
the history league of drafting quarterbacks. They once again fall
(16:40):
and fail when picking a high QB in the draft.
And I love it. I absolutely love it. Beach fans
hate Zack Wilson like the Grinch hated the Who's all right,
it's awesome and I am here for it and I'm
so excited. Hey Smith, I don't think the Jets are
making the playoffs. Now, what's your prediction for Zack Wilson
(17:02):
rest of season and then maybe next year? Is he
gonna be your starter? Here? What's going on? How are
you feeling right now? Bel I know you're all excited
about the Mets, who are spending money hand over fifth,
but it's not baseball season yet. It's football season, and
the they suck like they've always shucked. Alright, go ahead,
I'll let your talk, Steve. Why do people when they
(17:24):
get the one phone call after they get arrested called
the show? I mean? Why? What what I mean? Why?
Why you know, call somebody to help you get out
of you know? Uh? Boy, uh, this is not fire.
You my friend, you my friend are in football prison?
Is what you're in? Well? Hey, not if Chris Traveler
leads us to the promised land Strangler Strafler straf Look, Uh,
(17:46):
this is Fantasy Hall of Famer Sports illustrating. You can
fom on Twitter at Michael Underscore Fabianto and Jet season
ticket holder this yes, and now Jet season ticket holder
Michael Fabi, who obviously this is the best fifth een
minutes of his week that he gets to call and say, Hey,
the Jets suck. Like you're telling me something I don't know,
like you've like you've given me is oh, you know what.
(18:08):
I didn't know this until you called and told me
about this. In the last couple you and not You
and I have known each other for a very long time.
You and I have known each other long enough to
where too long. I was your friend and a good friend.
When you guys drafted Mark Sanchez, and I told you
it was not gonna work. And then when you guys
drafted to Tim Donald, I said, Jason, this is not
gonna work. And then when you draft Zack Wilson, I said, Jason,
(18:31):
that's not gonna work. Now, Geno Smith, that is maybe
the funniest example of the Jets failure in terms of
drafting quarterbacks. Highly second round pick, he was terrible for
the Jets, terrible. How many years later he finally gets
the starting job somewhere in the National Football League, and
he's going to the Pro Bow. He's better than every
Gift quarterback in hilarious. I absolutely love it. I love it. Smith.
(18:57):
At least you got the Mets, pal, but you've got
to wait a few months for that to actually go down. Well,
that's okay, the Mets. The Mets got me to the Jets.
Like the Mets season ended. It got me to the Jets. Okay, right,
you guys, yeah right, the Mets. The Mets one games
and then choked in the playoffs. Ok got me to
the Jets. The Jets season, hey, okay seven and said
was started out really good, and now our offense thinks
(19:18):
that we can't win a game. And now it's got
me back to the Mets and their spending spree. So
it's actually was Mets to the Jets, back to the Mets.
So it's actually okay for me right now. I was
waiting for Jack Wilson to pull like in Jack McDowell.
Remember when he pitched for the Yankees and the Yankee
fans are pulling the hell out of him and he
just burned them all. Remember that. I was waiting for
Zach Wilson to do that. He didn't do that. Um,
(19:41):
and apparently there was a story that he had given
what all of his offensive lion scooters or something. Uh,
he better trade those in and maybe get him all
Ferrari's because he's done. It's over. It is over for
Zack Wilson. Next year, Um, he'll have a lot more
time a Chase hot mom, because I don't know that
(20:02):
he's gonna be working in the National Football League. No,
this is the end of Zack Wilson's Jets career. It
is that. And then we have time to get to that.
But just for a second, Chris Traveler is driving the Jets.
They're down six, they are deep in Jaguar's territory. And
you know what I love and Steve, I know you're
thinking the same thing I am. Is it seeing this guy?
And and now he's got like thirty five yards rushing already.
(20:23):
It's like it's like I'm watching Tebow do it because
he's wearing number fifteen, and all these plays are like
Tebow plays where he's faking the hand off and he's
going up the middle. It's like watching team. But it's like, Hey,
if we had Tebow and he was good this is
what it would look like. This is fantastic. Shown some
speed here, It's been great. Yeah, look at that. It's outstanding.
That's outstanding Jets football. Yeah, they can't. They can't keep
(20:48):
giving it to him on every play, though, eventually they're
gonna you know, I think they have three first downs
on this drive and had three all night until this drive. Yeah. Yeah,
that that's kind of hell. And you know what's hilarious.
Two is that Amazon has one camera on the game
and three on Zack Wilson. Yeah, they're couldn't Zack Wilson
after every play. Yeah, there should be picture and picture.
(21:08):
They should have Zach in Zack Wilson in a small
picture in the top of the screen, and then the
rest of the photo and then the rest of it's
the game or the other way around, Zack Wilson big
and then have the game in the game action in
the corner. Oh man, this is just hilarious. Dunce cap
right now. This is this is like that I was
Watchings Petty play for the Jets, you know, play quarterback,
(21:30):
and oh my goodness, worst the worst contract in New
York whatever the Jets gave Jack Wilson or whatever, the
Giants gave Kenny Galladay because they're both pretty bad. Well, well,
then both teams will be out of that contract. I
thought he was going to nominate Carlos Korea's contract. No, no,
he's upset. He wanted Carlos Korea. But the Yankees don't
(21:51):
spend anymore because the Mets have turned into the Yankees.
Wait wait wait wait wait wait no, no, no, no,
wait wait. We spent a lot of Keth Judge, we
spent to get road. Yes, we don't spend as much
as uh Steve Cohen and the Mets, but I mean
he's gone next level with that spending. Like I mean,
the metsro buying everybody, and I hey, I'm a Yankees fan.
We've won championships in the past. I can't say anything
(22:11):
negative Cohen's going all and I wish he was the
owner of the Yankees, to be quite honestly, because I'm
kind of fed up with how but hey, now you
gotta go out there and win it, buddy. And last
year you had a pretty good team and guess what
you came up short. Yeah, well that's all right. Hey,
I know you're just hoping that we buy Josh Donaldson
from you for some reason, Dude, I will, I will,
(22:32):
I will pay you to take him. I can't stand him,
him and Hex both of them. Get rid of both
of them. I'm done. One of the worst trades the
Yankees ever made was getting Josh Donaldson. That was that
was just awful. He was never even a Yankee like
that guy's a hot dog. He's not. He's not a
Yankee like I mean, the guy does bat flips for
like deep drives that get you know, caught on the
(22:53):
warning truck. He's just awful. But he's not as bad
as Zeke Wilson. Every conver station I'm having a Bobby
Funnel the last month, every single conversation within thirty seconds
of him answering the phone, how you doing, how's things?
How's work? No? No, no, it's we gotta get rid
of Josh Donaldson. It's like it's the number one thing.
(23:13):
How's your family doing? Families fine, we gotta get rid
of Josh Donalds. Oh. I can't stand them. I can't
believe that. Jets here, what do you guys like on
you're you're in the red zone here? Forced down completion
to keep the drive going the first time all year
they're in the red zone. And you know true. I
(23:36):
was actually it wasn't like bizarro world for me for
a few weeks because I was actually saying a lot
of good things about the Jet. I like Mike White.
Garrett Wilson and White were hooking up, making sweet fantasy
music together. A night came out of nowhere. He was
putting up big numbers, And now I get to laugh
at him again because unfortunately White got hurt and Zach
Wilson spinks, Yeah, that's how it goes. That's how it goes.
(23:59):
I'm telling you. They just they just do. I do
hope Straggler leads them into the end zone here and uh,
let's like that's not gonna happen. Okay. But regardless, anything
for Zack Wilson will look worse than he already does.
I don't know why I takes such such great pride
in this kid being bad. Maybe because he's way more
(24:20):
handsome than me. He gets a lot of good look
at women, he's got a lot of money. Maybe I'm
a little bit jealous, but also Jet Jet. And part
of the reason why Smith that I feel this way
about the Jet is you, because every time you guys
drafted the new corn events than going to the super
Bowl and not so much another fourth down here we go. Well,
(24:42):
I'm glad I could give you your best fifteen minutes
of the week, Fabs. I'm glad that this is. This
is clearly the best time you've had in the last
like six seven days easy. Well, especially because the Cowboys
blewed out lead to this Jaguars team last Sunday, so
I wasn't real thrilled about that. But yeah, it's it's
been fun. It's and fun and uh the Jets turned
the ball over on downs and there you go, the
(25:04):
Jags are back on the field. Trevor Lawrence. Now that's
a good quarterback right there. That's you guys should learn
from that. Well, although I would say this, if the
Jets are the number one overall pick a couple of
years ago when Lawrence came out, or last year when
Lawrence came out, he probably would suck too. It's just
the Jets curse that they ruined him. Absolutely, they ruined
him the Jets. Uh. He's on Twitter at Michael Underscore fabianto.
(25:28):
That is at Michael Underscore Fabiato. Yes, again, the best
time he has this week. I'm glad I could be
there for you, FABS. I I really appreciate that. I'm
glad I could be there. I wish you and everybody
there a merry Christmas, Happy Holidays. Go Jags, baby, I
love it, I love it. What do you think Zack
Wilson is getting for Christmas? And l clip No, the
(25:53):
correct answer is a clipboard. That's the correct answer. I
thought you gonna say he's getting cut solom starting him
next week. Come on, alright, board for the rest of
the season. Alright, alright, I I hope you get hit
in head with a clipboard. All right, I'll talk to
you later for ABS. Be sure to catch live editions
of The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at
(26:13):
ten pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific. You know when I
say Jet's gonna Jet, that was this last play is
exactly what I mean, you know, Okay? On a first
down they gained the first down on the reception and
then fumble it to Jacksonville with four no it was
(26:35):
kicked out of the receiver's hand, trailing the Jaguar sixteen
to three with five minutes left to go, they have
the ball their own twenty yard line. Facing a fourth
and four, the Jets go for it with Chris Traveler
in for Zack Wilson, right third stringer in the guy
played in the CFL. He was just elevated from the
(26:57):
practice squad today, throws a pass for a first down
to Garrett Wilson, who is wide open right ten yard curl.
Garrett Wilson has it, He's got the ball. He turns
to run. He seems to be losing a little bit
of grip on it as it's up near his shoulder.
As he's trying to corral it in. A Jaguars player
(27:19):
who is running to try to make the play falls,
rolls over, and his foot kicks the ball out of
Garrett Wilson's arms into the arms are waiting defensive back
and now the Jaguars have the football at the Jets
fifteen yard line. The Jets can't just lose. They got
to do it in a way that goes, oh my goodness,
(27:41):
I'm just gonna sit back and laugh at you. They
can't just have a game where we lose we play badly.
No no, no, no, no no no. We have to
have a game where boy, we can just laugh our
asses off at you after the game is over. That's
what the Jets are doing tonight. Lou Khan could not
have timed it or placed it more perfectly to Somersault
and have the foot go directly into the football and
(28:02):
knocking away from the receiver. So they technically call it
a nine yard game, but immediately a fumble. So no
more Jets football. And you know what, Literally five minutes
after you said at this hour, Kirk curb Street on
the telecast said, I don't think we're gonna see Zack
Wilson again this season. Uh no, really, seriously, Zack Wilson,
(28:24):
I said, maybe he's listening to the show because tonight,
that last appearance he had, that's the last time he
will play for the Jets this year because they can't.
They can't go back to him. It's just so bad.
And yes, I get that everything that happens on the
Thursday night the NFL gets magnified three times more because
it happens it's the only game on and everybody is
watching it, but the Jets offense, and he has been
(28:47):
so incredibly bad. He can't make any throws. He's shoehorned
into a system that was never right for him. All
these things I've talked about all season long, but it's
just they have no hope when he plays quarterback. I
mean that the first series of the game, when the
Jets get the fumble and that everything looks great through
on the fifteen yard line and they can't get more
(29:07):
than two yards and they kick a field goal, that
was the turning point of the game. That was the
turning point of the game. And and and from then
on it's been we can't even get the football across
the fifty yard line. Zack Wilson brings no hope, and
you risk losing the wrestle. As much as they like
Zach and he he's he's a good kid and we
like him. He apologized to us for when he had
(29:28):
bad things to say after a really bad game against
the Patriots, but he has just been so god awful.
If you go back to him, you risk losing the
players going what are we really trying to do? And
when you're trying to go forward for next year, I
know someone who's gonna be there, and that's the other
fifty two guys have been a chance than Zack Wilson's
gonna be an ex Jet in the offseason, and he's
(29:48):
gonna have a Josh Rosen type career where so where
someone's gonna pick him up, maybe as a third string,
see if he develops. When the minute they have to
make a move personnel wise, he's the first guy to go.
He is going to have a Josh Rosen type career
after this. That's it. That's it. They will start anybody
else they possibly can outside of putting Zach Wilson under center.
(30:08):
I can even see them saying, hey, this is gonna
be it for Joe Flacco. He's retiring after this year.
Where let him start the final game of the season something.
It's gonna be anybody but him to play the rest
of the way for the Jets. The Jets had the
number two overall selection, worked on this for months and
came up with this as their selection. So the larger
(30:29):
picture is, and I'm glad you mentioned somebody else's name.
This is hardly the only high first round bust at
quarterback in NFL history, even recent NFL history go back
twenty five years. I'm sure if Harmon was here, he'd say,
what about Kate McNown in the top ten? You know,
something like that. But it's astounding how often that scouting
departments fail and fail spectacularly in this position, such as
(30:55):
the Jets head. It's it's really a black eye on scouting.
It's not like there aren't good scouts back there, but
it's amazing how it just doesn't work out, you know.
It's it's it's not about because the Jets have scouted
the other positions really well right in one or two
off seasons. Tons tons of players on defense, on offense,
Garrett Wilson's a start. The defense has done anything tonight.
(31:17):
Greece Hall is a star. But I'll tell you it's
about not being able to get the quarterback right. We'll
have more on this coming up. Next to the tirect

(00:23):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Boom Greetings, Welcome inside.
Blah blah blah blah blah, b j et t Eat Debt,
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon. Steve de Seger
in for Harmon tonight. I haven't maintained what I said
(00:46):
last night. If the Jets lose tonight, which is looking
extremely likely because they've played dead from the neck up
since the beginning of the game. Uh, it's okay. I'm
on vacation starting tomorrow. I don't have to worry about
the Jets I have to worry about. I'll keep an
eye on the Carlos Corea physical when the results come
in tomorrow, it will be fine. But everything else I
don't need to worry about it. I don't need to
(01:07):
worry about the Jets. After so they're putting you out
of your misery officially tonight, as they sink, yes, it would.
It's almost the equivalent of when the Mets lose big.
If they lose it like on a getaway day, like
on a Monday, and it's like, oh, the Mets lost today.
They've lost the Rockies ten three. But at least they
got the losing out of the way earlier. I could
go on with my day. I have to worry about
(01:29):
I have to worry about all the Mets anything. They
get a big win tonight, they can win, they can finish,
they can win the series, and then move on. Hey,
if you're gonna lose like that, lose early in the day. Hey,
if you're gonna if you're gonna lose and get eliminated,
because suddenly you realize that you have all kinds of
problems that you never were able to fix. At least
you're doing it now, and I'm okay with it. It's
all Bob'll be all right, all right now, I can
move on. I got my vacation starting tomorrow. It'll be terrific.
(01:50):
I don't have to worry about anything. I just wait.
I'll watch the Syracuse Bowl game. Next week. That that's
all I need, Steve to say her. Whatever helps you sleep,
I guess we'll support you in this. But there are times,
many times tonight where I felt like, are the Jets
even there on the field? What what is going on here?
And you've heard the booing, of course from the home fans,
from you know, the faithful, and I think that's the
(02:13):
proper term that have had their hopes up at points
this season, and my goodness, is it crashing the last month.
It is insane. It is absolutely insane. Look, i'll tell
you what's going on right now. That the Jaguars are
beating the Jets thirteen three, They were about to most
likely kick a field goal to go up sixteen three
in this game. The Jets offense has been abysmal. Yes,
(02:35):
it's raining, but the Jaguars are figure to watching this game,
I can tell you, I'm shocked, Steve, shocked that the
Jaguars looked like coming in they had a game plan,
they knew what they wanted to do to execute it,
and they're doing it. And the Jets just looked like,
we're gonna throw the same stuff out there and and
hope maybe because it's a different day that it works
because the Jets offense is abysmal, it's too predictable. The
(02:58):
Jaguars defense stinks. They stink as bad as the Jet stink. Overall.
The Jaguars defense stinks and they are stopping and they're
on top of every play the Jets want to run,
and Zack Wilson still is not accurate with the football.
So you have everything is on display right now with
the Jets that Zack Wilson is bad. Now you have
to question, is the system they're running we're worth it
(03:20):
because you have everybody stopping this Now at some point
you have to understand, well, we do have pretty good
playmakers on the field of different positions. It can't all
be the quarterback. The system and what you're running has
to be to blame as well, because you're not executing
it right. You're not executing anything. So if you can't
execute and you had still had trouble with Mike White
when he was in there, how good of of of
it can it be? Because you have some good wide receivers,
(03:43):
you have a decent couple of tight ends, your offensive
line is okay, they're a little leaky tonight, couple of
injuries but buy and largely offensive line has been good,
and you just look like you can't do anything. This
is just absolutely abysmal. And before you can say, well
the weather is what, you know what the Jaguars even
move in the flo ball Okay, they seem to know
exactly what they want to do. Trevor Lawrence is is
(04:04):
knows exactly what he wants to do with the football.
He's making all the right decisions. And while it's been
tough because the Jets defense is tough, the backbreaking plays
running the football, he's scrambled, he's got fifty yards running.
They they'll get a big play to Evan Ingram when
they want to. They're staying away from Sauce Gardner and
and DJ Read and they're doing exactly what they want to,
which is what you expect the team. Hey, we're gonna
(04:25):
game plan and know exactly what we want to do
on Thursday night. And I feel like the Jets and well,
let's just keep doing the same things and hopefully we're
gonna catch lightning in a bottle. This is just absolutely
the Jets saying we're done with this season. Right. Sometimes
sometimes the first the first beginning of a game can
can tell you about the entire game is going to
be and the beginning of the game. Quinnin Williams, who's
(04:47):
one of the best defensive linemen and in all of
football probably is is an All Pro defensive tackle, makes
the big play, the sack of Lawrence, They get the
fumble and the Jets offense goes nowhere and kicks a
field goal. I feel like all the energy was let
out of the stadium, out of the team at that point,
where it's look at the problems we have. We have
a golden opertunity, have the ball in the fifteen yard
line and we can't get more than two yards, and
(05:08):
now we're kicking a field goal. And from from that play,
it's been a gradual downhill of the Jets offense, the
defense playing as well as they can, but still the
Jaguars moving the football on him enough. And it's just
been from from that beginning of the game. Sometimes that
sets such a big tone, and that's what happened tonight.
All these things are happening, Steve, my head is going
in a thousand different directions right now. After the early
(05:31):
Jets field goal and a brief three nothing lead, Jacksonville
answered with a field goal, and now Riley Patterson has
kicked his third field goal of the night. He's booted
him from thirty two yards forty five and now from
forty one yards out. So here's where it stands. Mid
third quarter, Jets at home are not only losing to
Jacksonville sixteen to three. Now on the stat sheet it
(05:52):
is sixteen first downs to three. Is that good? I
repeat out loud. The Jets offense has three first downs
where in the third quarter, I'll say officially, no, that
is not good. And you talked about what the Jets
have out there on offense, what they have as far
(06:13):
as defense means you don't need to have a ton
on offense. Am I right? In this? This is not
like last year where Justin Herbert had to score forty
points and multiple games to have a chance to win.
This is quite the opposite. Can you get me twenty something?
It's like the Raiders. Actually, can the offense just get
me something? We're gonna be closed, We're gonna be in
these games. Jets offense doing zip tonight. That's why. That's
(06:37):
why I'm telling you it's the quarterback, it's the system.
It's just not it's the whole team. Jason stops the
whole team. Come on, not good? Come on, the whole
team stinks. We put three Pro bowlers on in the
Pro Bowl. We have four Pro bowlers this year. What
does not have to do with stinking defense? Because the
defense is good, the offense stinks. The defense is good. Yeah,
(06:57):
well when when? When nothing good about this Jets team?
What do you expect? I just stop. You can pile
on the offense, but stop, pilot. Really you have three points? Yeah, okay,
if you change all the Jets, if the defense was
so good, where's their touchdown? Where's the defense's touchdown? Oh? Sure,
that's we need. We need to defense. We need three
defensive touches, you would think, so if you were that great,
(07:18):
we'll need three. They've held him to three field goals
and the one t Jags got was on a ninety
six yard touchdown drive and over eight minute drive, sixteen
to three, about seven minutes left in the third and
you know, we can't call this election. But some of
the places reporting the best part about all this, Steve,
is the Jets could have had Trevor Lawrence had not
(07:40):
won that extra game, had Frank Gore not won that
game for you. We're gonna win a couple of Jason
could have been watching Trevor Lawrence take his Jets to
the playoffs. Instead he gets Zack Wilson, Jets, Zack Wilson
and instead. Now the Jets are gonna wind up being
the Pete Davidson of the NFL and the office because
they're gonna be linked with every quarterback every single day,
(08:03):
every day. I want a new rumor, Hey, gets with
the Jets are talking to now. They're talking to the
Packers about Aaron Rodgers. They're talking to Tom Brady's people.
They're talking to Bills about John are talking to Kim
Kardashian there, they're talking to Chiefs about Patrick Mahomes there.
I want that they're gonna be the Pete Davidson of
the NFL. They're talking to Ariana Grande. What is she
(08:24):
can't she's too short, she can't possibly play for this team? No, no, no,
she could throw some jump passes. I've seen it happen.
She's better than Zach Wilson. Would throw a jump pass
and hit the center right in the small in the bags,
better than Zach Wilson. Hey, do you think Zach Wilson
couldn't do that. Absolutely, Zach Wilson at eighty four yards
passing tonight, it's Trevor Lawrence close to two yards passing tonight.
(08:48):
It's one of those games where you get on your
computer and you keep hitting refreshed, going, oh boy, have
refreshed while he's got eighty four yards passing. Oh no, no, no,
that's eighty four yards. Still says three first down. That's
what it was at halftime. By the way, it's still
three first downs for j Yeah, that's eighty four yards.
And for all the calls of the Jets have to
make a quarterback change at halftime, Joe Flacco stinks too. Okay,
(09:08):
who are they going? Wh what do you really want? Who?
What do you really want? The Jets have completely position.
You know, if this was two thousand eight, i'd agree
with you, boy, we'd be great. But the Jets have
completely They've whipped on the quarterback position. Their bet, their
their whole hope of the season is is that an
undrafted guy that they got off the Cowboys roster and
(09:30):
Mike White can be really good. Think about that for
a second. That's where you're at the Jet There's nobody
you're bringing Joe Flacking. They wrote him in for one
play last week. He fumble and it contributed to the Laws.
Now again, Adam, Now, Zack Wilson's got to play. They've
completely mismanaged the quarterback position and that's why they are
going to be and I'm telling you they're gonna be
in every single quarterback who's out there, who may or
(09:51):
may not be upset with uh their team, not Hey,
someone liked a post that ripped the head coach. Let's
call them to see if they're a available. Let's call
they have to be linked with every single quarterback next
year and you know what, probably a new offensive system
because this is not working either, right, Yeah, it's it's
not even even when Mike White the last couple of
weeks they couldn't score touchdots. I don't know what you want.
(10:13):
The third round saw Davis Mills selected. In that draft
that you referenced, it went Trevor Lawrence number one overall
to the Jags, and then the Jets Zach Wilson, and
then the forty Niners got Trey Lance also in the
top half of that first round, which Justin Fields taken
and Mac Jones your favorite and correct me if I'm wrong.
You've talked about him a lot for a third rounder.
(10:34):
Davis Mills has actually had somewhat of an NFL career
so far. He's had a way better and he's you know,
he's going in and out. He's playing every other play
like like Steve Spurrier is running the team. And he's
still better than Zach Wilson. He's part of a two
quarterback system in Houston, and he's still better than Jason.
Your daughter, Zoey's better than Zach Wilson because though he's
(10:55):
got an arm, I'll tell you, Zoe, he could throw
You don't even need an arm. You can have no arms.
You're better than Zach Wilson. Just zip that ball over
the Your quarterback has no arms, no trust me. Watch
what he does watching that's what they started. He'll just
kick the football out, big spiral. It's gonna be literally,
somebody with no arms is better than Za Wilson. Now
we are not calling this game yet because they why not?
Why not be as you referenced a defensive touchdown, you're
(11:17):
not calling two or three defensive touchdown. You know, just
too and the Jets are right back this game over
in the first quarter. Uh, honestly, no, I'm being serious.
That first drive they get the sack, the fumble, if
you can call it. It's an awful start. The offensive
it wasn't quite I mean, I guess they went for
(11:39):
where and it was in the games. You couldn't get
a better start offensively for a struggling team to be
handed the ball at the fifteen yard right from a
guy who is your best player on Dave, one of
the best players in the NFL. You didn't know if
he was gonna play. He's playing tonight, and he makes
a huge play and it ratchets up everybody. The stadium
(12:01):
is electric, and you go and that's it. And I
really I feel that took all everything and the energy,
all all the air out of the balloon for the
Jets and that and that's part of what's got And
plus Zach Wilson is terrible and the Jets, I mean,
I don't know what, I don't know what. What do
you want me to say? And then they punted on
the next three drives, and then the interception and then
(12:21):
another punt and now they have to get everything surrounding
the Jets offense is bad. Everything surrounding it. But the
difference is good. Yeah, the defense is really good, but
this defense is really good. A normal, regular, not above
average NFL offense could do something with that defense. Jets
are not doing well. It just points out what I know,
(12:45):
what you're saying. But the Jets there you go. So
they got people's hopes up at seven and four and
that was that. That was the highlight of the season.

(13:05):
So again, this is why I root for the Jets,
so you don't have to alright, my team stinks, so
you can feel better about your team. It's like it's
like when that that old when you buy a new
car and and and they would call you, Hey, you
enjoying your new car? Everything great? All right, we want
you to feel good about that car you bought. Okay,
I'm making people feel better about their teams that they're underachieving,
not playing well because the team that they didn't buy. Yeah,
(13:27):
at least I'm not a Jets fan, so I mean,
even seven and seven, it seems like the Jets are
two Lions. Fans are feeling great right now. Oh are
you kidding? Oh my god, the Lion by comparison, they're awesome.
Oh they feel so good. Yeah, Jets suck that suck,
Nick suck. Stop no, stop stop. We don't have the
physical report on today's were broke. They're taking their time. Well,
(13:50):
then we'll spend three and a million dollars on something else.
It doesn't matter what broke. We're gonna buy Otani. We're
gonna get We're gonna go to Tani. We're gonna get
to and get a shoehorn Trevor Bauer into the road
out there, Steve, No, no, no, the update coming out.

Steve to segerin from Mike Harmon Hobo and you know
what you think You've seen it all j et Et Jets.
The Jets have made a change at quarterback Zach Wilson
(14:33):
is out in the game. Joe flat no in the game,
Joe name it no in the game, Boomer inside no
in the game. For the Jets, a quarterback Chris Straveler
just elevated today to the active roster. How much do
(14:54):
they hate Joe Flatco? Hey, Joe, sorry, man, We're really
not gonna go with you. He's too good for this team.
Not why they're leaving him on the on the sidel
He's too good. He's he's Traveler, Hey, Chris Traveler, great
Cup champion. Okay, just that, you gotta put some respect
on his name. Hey, guys, you're not You're not gonna
believe it. We actually have a Jets fan from the game. On, hold,
(15:14):
we do. We have a Jets right from the game.
He's saying he's out nut life and it was loud
in the background. So I don't I'm not sure what's
going on here. Okay, all right, so we should go.
We gotta go. Let's go to Let's go to the
Jets fan who is live at the game. Let's go ahead.
It's really rainy and windy here. It's very wet. But
I don't know what's wetter. I don't know what's wetther
(15:36):
me or the value of Jack Wilson in the National
Football League right now? He just got benched for Chris Trembler.
What are he's going on? We want Joe Namith, we
want Jet Pennington. Hell, at this point, we'll take Mark Sanchey. Unbelievable.
Jason Smith, I told you when the Jets draft and
(15:58):
Jack Wilson that I was not going to work out.
Why because the Jets can't draft quarterbacks in the first
two rounds and have any since that's ever. They haven't
done it right since Joe name it, and that was
a long time ago. Smith, I think you were still
around at that point, right, because you're you know, you're
you're an older gentleman. This is not what the Jets
need to do. I told you they should never draft
a quarterback again in one of the first two rounds.
(16:19):
They should use those picks on offensive, skilled players defense
whenever the case. Maybe and then you go out and
you get a guy like Jimmy Garoppolo, and then maybe
you win a championship. But once again, the New York
Checks the worst team in the National Football League in
the history league of drafting quarterbacks. They once again fall
(16:40):
and fail when picking a high QB in the draft.
And I love it. I absolutely love it. Beach fans
hate Zack Wilson like the Grinch hated the Who's all right,
it's awesome and I am here for it and I'm
so excited. Hey Smith, I don't think the Jets are
making the playoffs. Now, what's your prediction for Zack Wilson
(17:02):
rest of season and then maybe next year? Is he
gonna be your starter? Here? What's going on? How are
you feeling right now? Bel I know you're all excited
about the Mets, who are spending money hand over fifth,
but it's not baseball season yet. It's football season, and
the they suck like they've always shucked. Alright, go ahead,
I'll let your talk, Steve. Why do people when they
(17:24):
get the one phone call after they get arrested called
the show? I mean? Why? What what I mean? Why?
Why you know, call somebody to help you get out
of you know? Uh? Boy, uh, this is not fire.
You my friend, you my friend are in football prison?
Is what you're in? Well? Hey, not if Chris Traveler
leads us to the promised land Strangler Strafler straf Look, Uh,
(17:46):
this is Fantasy Hall of Famer Sports illustrating. You can
fom on Twitter at Michael Underscore Fabianto and Jet season
ticket holder this yes, and now Jet season ticket holder
Michael Fabi, who obviously this is the best fifth een
minutes of his week that he gets to call and say, Hey,
the Jets suck. Like you're telling me something I don't know,
like you've like you've given me is oh, you know what.
(18:08):
I didn't know this until you called and told me
about this. In the last couple you and not You
and I have known each other for a very long time.
You and I have known each other long enough to
where too long. I was your friend and a good friend.
When you guys drafted Mark Sanchez, and I told you
it was not gonna work. And then when you guys
drafted to Tim Donald, I said, Jason, this is not
gonna work. And then when you draft Zack Wilson, I said, Jason,
(18:31):
that's not gonna work. Now, Geno Smith, that is maybe
the funniest example of the Jets failure in terms of
drafting quarterbacks. Highly second round pick, he was terrible for
the Jets, terrible. How many years later he finally gets
the starting job somewhere in the National Football League, and
he's going to the Pro Bow. He's better than every
Gift quarterback in hilarious. I absolutely love it. I love it. Smith.
(18:57):
At least you got the Mets, pal, but you've got
to wait a few months for that to actually go down. Well,
that's okay, the Mets. The Mets got me to the Jets.
Like the Mets season ended. It got me to the Jets. Okay, right,
you guys, yeah right, the Mets. The Mets one games
and then choked in the playoffs. Ok got me to
the Jets. The Jets season, hey, okay seven and said
was started out really good, and now our offense thinks
(19:18):
that we can't win a game. And now it's got
me back to the Mets and their spending spree. So
it's actually was Mets to the Jets, back to the Mets.
So it's actually okay for me right now. I was
waiting for Jack Wilson to pull like in Jack McDowell.
Remember when he pitched for the Yankees and the Yankee
fans are pulling the hell out of him and he
just burned them all. Remember that. I was waiting for
Zach Wilson to do that. He didn't do that. Um,
(19:41):
and apparently there was a story that he had given
what all of his offensive lion scooters or something. Uh,
he better trade those in and maybe get him all
Ferrari's because he's done. It's over. It is over for
Zack Wilson. Next year, Um, he'll have a lot more
time a Chase hot mom, because I don't know that
(20:02):
he's gonna be working in the National Football League. No,
this is the end of Zack Wilson's Jets career. It
is that. And then we have time to get to that.
But just for a second, Chris Traveler is driving the Jets.
They're down six, they are deep in Jaguar's territory. And
you know what I love and Steve, I know you're
thinking the same thing I am. Is it seeing this guy?
And and now he's got like thirty five yards rushing already.
(20:23):
It's like it's like I'm watching Tebow do it because
he's wearing number fifteen, and all these plays are like
Tebow plays where he's faking the hand off and he's
going up the middle. It's like watching team. But it's like, Hey,
if we had Tebow and he was good this is
what it would look like. This is fantastic. Shown some
speed here, It's been great. Yeah, look at that. It's outstanding.
That's outstanding Jets football. Yeah, they can't. They can't keep
(20:48):
giving it to him on every play, though, eventually they're
gonna you know, I think they have three first downs
on this drive and had three all night until this drive. Yeah. Yeah,
that that's kind of hell. And you know what's hilarious.
Two is that Amazon has one camera on the game
and three on Zack Wilson. Yeah, they're couldn't Zack Wilson
after every play. Yeah, there should be picture and picture.
(21:08):
They should have Zach in Zack Wilson in a small
picture in the top of the screen, and then the
rest of the photo and then the rest of it's
the game or the other way around, Zack Wilson big
and then have the game in the game action in
the corner. Oh man, this is just hilarious. Dunce cap
right now. This is this is like that I was
Watchings Petty play for the Jets, you know, play quarterback,
(21:30):
and oh my goodness, worst the worst contract in New
York whatever the Jets gave Jack Wilson or whatever, the
Giants gave Kenny Galladay because they're both pretty bad. Well, well,
then both teams will be out of that contract. I
thought he was going to nominate Carlos Korea's contract. No, no,
he's upset. He wanted Carlos Korea. But the Yankees don't
(21:51):
spend anymore because the Mets have turned into the Yankees.
Wait wait wait wait wait wait no, no, no, no,
wait wait. We spent a lot of Keth Judge, we
spent to get road. Yes, we don't spend as much
as uh Steve Cohen and the Mets, but I mean
he's gone next level with that spending. Like I mean,
the metsro buying everybody, and I hey, I'm a Yankees fan.
We've won championships in the past. I can't say anything
(22:11):
negative Cohen's going all and I wish he was the
owner of the Yankees, to be quite honestly, because I'm
kind of fed up with how but hey, now you
gotta go out there and win it, buddy. And last
year you had a pretty good team and guess what
you came up short. Yeah, well that's all right. Hey,
I know you're just hoping that we buy Josh Donaldson
from you for some reason, Dude, I will, I will,
(22:32):
I will pay you to take him. I can't stand him,
him and Hex both of them. Get rid of both
of them. I'm done. One of the worst trades the
Yankees ever made was getting Josh Donaldson. That was that
was just awful. He was never even a Yankee like
that guy's a hot dog. He's not. He's not a
Yankee like I mean, the guy does bat flips for
like deep drives that get you know, caught on the
(22:53):
warning truck. He's just awful. But he's not as bad
as Zeke Wilson. Every conver station I'm having a Bobby
Funnel the last month, every single conversation within thirty seconds
of him answering the phone, how you doing, how's things?
How's work? No? No, no, it's we gotta get rid
of Josh Donaldson. It's like it's the number one thing.
(23:13):
How's your family doing? Families fine, we gotta get rid
of Josh Donalds. Oh. I can't stand them. I can't
believe that. Jets here, what do you guys like on
you're you're in the red zone here? Forced down completion
to keep the drive going the first time all year
they're in the red zone. And you know true. I
(23:36):
was actually it wasn't like bizarro world for me for
a few weeks because I was actually saying a lot
of good things about the Jet. I like Mike White.
Garrett Wilson and White were hooking up, making sweet fantasy
music together. A night came out of nowhere. He was
putting up big numbers, And now I get to laugh
at him again because unfortunately White got hurt and Zach
Wilson spinks, Yeah, that's how it goes. That's how it goes.
(23:59):
I'm telling you. They just they just do. I do
hope Straggler leads them into the end zone here and uh,
let's like that's not gonna happen. Okay. But regardless, anything
for Zack Wilson will look worse than he already does.
I don't know why I takes such such great pride
in this kid being bad. Maybe because he's way more
(24:20):
handsome than me. He gets a lot of good look
at women, he's got a lot of money. Maybe I'm
a little bit jealous, but also Jet Jet. And part
of the reason why Smith that I feel this way
about the Jet is you, because every time you guys
drafted the new corn events than going to the super
Bowl and not so much another fourth down here we go. Well,
(24:42):
I'm glad I could give you your best fifteen minutes
of the week, Fabs. I'm glad that this is. This
is clearly the best time you've had in the last
like six seven days easy. Well, especially because the Cowboys
blewed out lead to this Jaguars team last Sunday, so
I wasn't real thrilled about that. But yeah, it's it's
been fun. It's and fun and uh the Jets turned
the ball over on downs and there you go, the
(25:04):
Jags are back on the field. Trevor Lawrence. Now that's
a good quarterback right there. That's you guys should learn
from that. Well, although I would say this, if the
Jets are the number one overall pick a couple of
years ago when Lawrence came out, or last year when
Lawrence came out, he probably would suck too. It's just
the Jets curse that they ruined him. Absolutely, they ruined
him the Jets. Uh. He's on Twitter at Michael Underscore fabianto.
(25:28):
That is at Michael Underscore Fabiato. Yes, again, the best
time he has this week. I'm glad I could be
there for you, FABS. I I really appreciate that. I'm
glad I could be there. I wish you and everybody
there a merry Christmas, Happy Holidays. Go Jags, baby, I
love it, I love it. What do you think Zack
Wilson is getting for Christmas? And l clip No, the
(25:53):
correct answer is a clipboard. That's the correct answer. I
thought you gonna say he's getting cut solom starting him
next week. Come on, alright, board for the rest of
the season. Alright, alright, I I hope you get hit
in head with a clipboard. All right, I'll talk to
you later for ABS. Be sure to catch live editions
of The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at
(26:13):
ten pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific. You know when I
say Jet's gonna Jet, that was this last play is
exactly what I mean, you know, Okay? On a first
down they gained the first down on the reception and
then fumble it to Jacksonville with four no it was
(26:35):
kicked out of the receiver's hand, trailing the Jaguar sixteen
to three with five minutes left to go, they have
the ball their own twenty yard line. Facing a fourth
and four, the Jets go for it with Chris Traveler
in for Zack Wilson, right third stringer in the guy
played in the CFL. He was just elevated from the
(26:57):
practice squad today, throws a pass for a first down
to Garrett Wilson, who is wide open right ten yard curl.
Garrett Wilson has it, He's got the ball. He turns
to run. He seems to be losing a little bit
of grip on it as it's up near his shoulder.
As he's trying to corral it in. A Jaguars player
(27:19):
who is running to try to make the play falls,
rolls over, and his foot kicks the ball out of
Garrett Wilson's arms into the arms are waiting defensive back
and now the Jaguars have the football at the Jets
fifteen yard line. The Jets can't just lose. They got
to do it in a way that goes, oh my goodness,
(27:41):
I'm just gonna sit back and laugh at you. They
can't just have a game where we lose we play badly.
No no, no, no, no no no. We have to
have a game where boy, we can just laugh our
asses off at you after the game is over. That's
what the Jets are doing tonight. Lou Khan could not
have timed it or placed it more perfectly to Somersault
and have the foot go directly into the football and
(28:02):
knocking away from the receiver. So they technically call it
a nine yard game, but immediately a fumble. So no
more Jets football. And you know what, Literally five minutes
after you said at this hour, Kirk curb Street on
the telecast said, I don't think we're gonna see Zack
Wilson again this season. Uh no, really, seriously, Zack Wilson,
(28:24):
I said, maybe he's listening to the show because tonight,
that last appearance he had, that's the last time he
will play for the Jets this year because they can't.
They can't go back to him. It's just so bad.
And yes, I get that everything that happens on the
Thursday night the NFL gets magnified three times more because
it happens it's the only game on and everybody is
watching it, but the Jets offense, and he has been
(28:47):
so incredibly bad. He can't make any throws. He's shoehorned
into a system that was never right for him. All
these things I've talked about all season long, but it's
just they have no hope when he plays quarterback. I
mean that the first series of the game, when the
Jets get the fumble and that everything looks great through
on the fifteen yard line and they can't get more
(29:07):
than two yards and they kick a field goal, that
was the turning point of the game. That was the
turning point of the game. And and and from then
on it's been we can't even get the football across
the fifty yard line. Zack Wilson brings no hope, and
you risk losing the wrestle. As much as they like
Zach and he he's he's a good kid and we
like him. He apologized to us for when he had
(29:28):
bad things to say after a really bad game against
the Patriots, but he has just been so god awful.
If you go back to him, you risk losing the
players going what are we really trying to do? And
when you're trying to go forward for next year, I
know someone who's gonna be there, and that's the other
fifty two guys have been a chance than Zack Wilson's
gonna be an ex Jet in the offseason, and he's
(29:48):
gonna have a Josh Rosen type career where so where
someone's gonna pick him up, maybe as a third string,
see if he develops. When the minute they have to
make a move personnel wise, he's the first guy to go.
He is going to have a Josh Rosen type career
after this. That's it. That's it. They will start anybody
else they possibly can outside of putting Zach Wilson under center.
(30:08):
I can even see them saying, hey, this is gonna
be it for Joe Flacco. He's retiring after this year.
Where let him start the final game of the season something.
It's gonna be anybody but him to play the rest
of the way for the Jets. The Jets had the
number two overall selection, worked on this for months and
came up with this as their selection. So the larger
(30:29):
picture is, and I'm glad you mentioned somebody else's name.
This is hardly the only high first round bust at
quarterback in NFL history, even recent NFL history go back
twenty five years. I'm sure if Harmon was here, he'd say,
what about Kate McNown in the top ten? You know,
something like that. But it's astounding how often that scouting
departments fail and fail spectacularly in this position, such as
(30:55):
the Jets head. It's it's really a black eye on scouting.
It's not like there aren't good scouts back there, but
it's amazing how it just doesn't work out, you know.
It's it's it's not about because the Jets have scouted
the other positions really well right in one or two
off seasons. Tons tons of players on defense, on offense,
Garrett Wilson's a start. The defense has done anything tonight.
(31:17):
Greece Hall is a star. But I'll tell you it's
about not being able to get the quarterback right. We'll
have more on this coming up. Next to the tirect
