Evan & Tiki

Aaron Glenn is at the center of another embarrassing Jets controversy, and a mysterious press conference audio cut is only making things worse. Did the Jets head coach actually forget his team wasn't receiving the second-half kickoff against New England? Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber initially defend Glenn, believing his comments were taken out of context. But when the Jets' own video feed cuts out during his explanation, the situation suddenly looks suspicious. Evan questions whether the team has created an unnecessary controversy while Tiki insists Glenn's terrible win-loss record is the real issue. Plus, the Giants' confusing running back rotation comes under fire after Cam Skattebo barely sees the field. Tiki explains why constantly switching backs prevents anyone from establishing a rhythm, while Najee Harris voices his own frustration. The guys question whether John Harbaugh needs to stop experimenting and finally commit to a lead running back.

Evan Roberts is furious after the Jets blow another winnable game, and he's putting the coaching staff on blast. Frank Reich's obsession with shotgun runs on third and fourth down, Geno Smith's failed quarterback sneak, and a defense that let the Patriots run out the clock behind a battered offensive line have Evan questioning whether Aaron Glenn's staff is good enough to win. Tiki Barber breaks down the execution failures, while Evan refuses to accept moral victories from a team that keeps making the same mistakes. Plus, Garrett Wilson isn't getting the football enough, the Jets continue to waste opportunities, and the guys debate whether there's any reason to believe things will improve. The conversation also turns to the Giants' playoff hopes in a struggling NFC East, J.J. McCarthy's development, and concerning news about Jalen Hurts' health.

Skattebo went from the Giants' featured running back to barely seeing the field, and Evan Roberts isn't holding back! After Skattebo played just six snaps against the Saints, Evan calls him one of the most overrated athletes he's seen in years. But was John Harbaugh punishing Skattebo for his fumbling problems, or is there a much bigger issue with his game? Tiki Barber explains why Skattebo's struggles go far beyond turnovers, drawing on his own early-career mistakes and the tough lessons he learned from Tom Coughlin. Plus, Harbaugh delivers a fiery challenge to his entire running back room, demanding someone step up and earn the starting job. The conversation takes a serious turn with breaking news that Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will miss the remainder of the season due to blood clots.

Boomer and Gio believe Sunday's game against the Patriots could define this Jets season in terms of its relevance, and Boomer gives them a 50/50 shot of winning. Plus, Craig Carton sounds off on the need for the football world to show Gang Green some more respect, while Evan calls on Aaron Glenn and company to beat the hated Pats to show that they are a team worthy of being invested in for the rest of the season.

Evan Roberts refuses to let the Jets' miserable history against the Patriots crush his confidence! With David Bailey potentially facing a rookie left tackle, Evan sees a golden opportunity for the Jets defense to rattle Drake Maye and steal a massive road victory. But Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash aren't ready to trust the Jets offense, and Evan makes it clear that another close loss won't be good enough. Could beating New England completely change the conversation around Aaron Glenn and the Jets? Evan believes it would give the new regime its first signature victory, and the upcoming schedule could suddenly make things very interesting.
