Hour 3:

Gio asks Boomer if Robert Saleh takes a hit for not winning with a bad QB situation and Boomer says it’s the opposite. He deserves credit for benching Zach Wilson, who is only playing because of Mike White’s injury. Boomer says the extra attention is part of playing the position. He wanted Zach Wilson to play over Joe Flacco but saw the young QB miss throws and make bad decisions. Now there’s no way the Jets can bring him back. Gio says that while Wilson deserves most of the blame, the coaches share some of the responsibility. Could Robert Saleh have saved the season weeks ago by benching Zach Wilson during the second loss to the Patriots? Possibly. Now they can’t score against defenses that give up a ton of points. Gio wouldn’t even have Zach Wilson travel with the team for the last two games. Jerry returns for an update and Gio says Jets fans have unfortunately seen this film before. Boomer and Gio both can’t believe the Jets pushed their fans to the point of “We want Streveler” chants. Robert Saleh said he didn’t bench Zach Wilson and Gio says Wilson absolutely was benched. Gio feels good about the Vikings this week against the Giants but is still worried about a potential playoff rematch. Jerry has audio of a Scott Boras joke that Gio says is even worse than the one we heard earlier in the show. Gio gives us a glimpse of Gerard Gallant singing Christmas songs. In the final segment of the hour, Gio previews Giants vs Vikings. He thinks the matchup is a bad one for the Giants on paper. The fortunes of the Jets and Giants have really flipped drastically in the last few weeks.
