00:00And this is why teams never break the curse.

00:02I'm sorry, it just is, Joe.

00:03It just is.

00:04Do you think Aaron Glenn...

00:05Why are we talking about this team winning nine games next year?

00:08They just traded away two of their best players.

00:11And they have one win right now.

00:14It is a sickness in this league.

00:17They stink, and they should stink next year.

00:20That's it.

00:20But the expectation is to be a 9-8 football team.

00:23So let's shake it.

00:25Why is that the expectation?

00:27They're garbage.

00:28And traded away two of the few good guys they have.

00:32But they're going to get how many draft picks in the first round?

00:34Three next year?

00:35Two.

00:36Two?

00:36Yeah.

00:37No, they got two.

00:39They have theirs and the Colts.

00:40The Cowboys' first round is for 2027.

00:42All right, so they have two.

00:43Yeah.

00:44All right, you're telling me whether Justin Fields is there or not.

00:47Let's say they get Mac Jones.

00:49Sure.

00:50Mac Jones is the new star.

00:52Kyler Murray, whatever.

00:53Awesome.

00:54You're telling me then the expectation is to be a five-win football team?

00:59Come on.

00:59No, see, this is – no, see, you know what's happening?

01:03What's happening?

01:03We're talking about two different things.

01:04It's a win-now league.

01:06I know, and that's why this team –

01:09But it's not the NBA where you're playing 82 games a year.

01:13I know.

01:14And one player – the NBA, let me just say this.

01:18Okay.

01:19The NBA, one player, it's almost like college basketball.

01:22You put that one guy on a team, they're all of a sudden elevated.

01:26Luka, whatever.

01:27Oh, right?

01:28Okay.

01:28I used your Lakers as an example.

01:30Yeah, you didn't say LeBron, noticed.

01:31With the NFL, it's a team sport.

01:34But it's not like this team is the Browns.

01:38But, no.

01:39Garrett Wilson is an above-average –

01:41Can I ask you something?

01:42Yeah, Brees Hall is an above-average guy.

01:44Why would the Jets, after doing what they just did, go into this offseason and say,

01:49okay, now, let's get Mac Jones in here, let's try to get nine wins?

01:54That's being poorly ran.

01:56No.

01:56You know who should start for them next year?

01:58Justin Fields.

01:59You know why?

02:00He's terrible.

02:01Okay, so, good job by you.

02:04You know what they did?

02:05I'll tell you what they did.

02:07They did the right thing because –

02:10Well, hang on, I'm going to use their crosstown counterparts, the New York Giants.

02:14Sure.

02:14The Giants made a cardinal sin by not getting rid of Daniel Jones then,

02:19after they won the game against Minnesota.

02:21Right.

02:22Because they over-exceeded expectations.

02:23Yeah.

02:24And the expectation was, go big or go home because it's New York.

02:27Right.

02:28So, they made the proper decision, but still, the mindset is to be a nine-win football team

02:33next year.

02:34It's not to be a four-win football team.

02:37And this is why the Jets, doing a mini-fire sale, ultimately will backfire.

02:41And this is why the Jets, doing a mini-fire sale, the Jets, doing a mini-fire sale, is to be a four-win football team.

02:47And this is why the Jets, doing a mini-fire sale, the Jets, doing a mini-fire sale, the Jets, doing a mini-fire sale.
