Hey, I arrived almost here. Are you ready? Just grabbing my shoes. That's what you said 10 minutes ago. I just wrapped a video call, uploading this giant file on my tablet, looking at my watch group and Nana's with the group chat, and of course, still lining up tonight's playlist on my phone.

And we're coming to you live from the belt forward to the top studio Boomerangio, a size and Greg G and Audi. It's Boomerangio on the fan, cymbal casts across the country on CBS Sports Network. And wherever you're on the free Odyssey app, God, Monday morning when we left here on Friday, this is exactly what we wanted to come in Monday with two victories. The New York Chets smacking around Rob Salin, the Titans in their building, in their home opener. One a performance offensively and defensively so far, so good for the Aaron Glenn, Frank Reich combo in Geno Smith. And that offensive line, everything just looked spectacular.
And obviously they shut down cam ward and cam ward looked terrible, but give the Jets defense some credit there as well. And then last night, man, I tell you, you felt the energy from the beginning, the Giants running out after 9-11 on Friday, the 25th, commemorants, the first responders aligning the field. It just, it had that feel and they came out and played like it. And finally beat the Dallas Cowboys, especially on week one, beat Dak Prescott, scoring touchdowns, Jackson Dart, Isaiah likely, it was just awesome to see some positivity on a football Monday. We can dream Boomer, good morning, how are you? Yeah, and plus your Vikings win with Carson Wentz's a pack of quarterback to become back there. How's the court are you? So I have to say, I am so happy to be here this morning. Yeah, I mean, because of what we saw yesterday, especially from the local teams and both quarterbacks, both offensive coordinators really and both offensive lines,
just had absolutely great nights. Here's the thing that I love about what I saw from the Giants last night. Yes, it's Jackson Dart, yes, it's, you know, he had like 40 plays and of those 40 plays, he averaged over seven yards per play. And that's when you take into account his pass attempts plus his running attempts. But when you watch the Giants wide receivers and Isaiah likely included in this as he is a tie-denn and he is obviously going to be a big part of this, the amount of passes that they were catching away from their body with their hands. I didn't see a lot of like getting the ball get into their bodies like they were catching the ball. And I know it's a little thing, but it just jumped out off the screen to me last night watching this. And there were a couple where, you know, I think a couple got into their into their bodies, but I was a 95% of those completions were by those receivers and tight ends and running backs were away from their body making the catch. And somebody's teaching him that, you know, somebody's over there coaching that.
And then of course you have to be accurate as a quarterback. You want to make sure that you're leading your players and you know, couple of these little dump off passes, you know, to Tyrone Tracy coming out of the backfield. You have a single Terry. I mean, a Devon secretary too. We're great. I mean, and that's the kind of touch that you want to see from your quarterback. So I want to start with the giants just because, you know, nobody thought that they were going to be able to beat the Cowboys. We didn't think so either. I don't think. But I do know that watching this and watching the 9-11 ceremonies before the game and watching the Yankees on Friday night with their 9-11 ceremony, they did an amazing job. Both teams did. You could feel the energy coming through that screen. And I think Chris Cownsworth said it probably about a quarter and a half into the game. You know, that the Dallas Cowboys weathered that initial emotional storm and they kind of settled the game down. But what I love about what the giants did and this goes back to John Harbock, they are going to be a pain in the ass.
They are going to be relentless. And they are just not going to stop. They're not going to give in. And this is the competitive thing that I told you or I felt like he was going to bring to the giants when they signed them. Yeah. And they've got so many things on offense that can confuse you and so many ways to beat you when everybody's out there on the field. And the other thing that John Harbock was saying about being a bully, you can really see that when they were running the football last night. I mean, that was if you were like a football slumber knocker guy like you get you all your hairs stand up on the back of your neck when you watch a team run the football, you saw that last night. Patrick Ricard, Cam Skatibou, offensive line pushing that D line of the cowboys off the ball. I mean, I'm getting fired up just talking about again. And that's you love to see that when you could effectively run the football and then everything else opens up. Boom, neighbors, boom, likely. It was just it was it was a clinic for John Harbock's first game and Matt Nagy's first game as well. Exactly. So the other thing that you saw last night and Chris was talking about this last night
is you know, you got Greg Roman up there and you got Matt Nagy. Now Matt Nagy obviously coming from Kansas City, they have all these exotic plays because I think they try to keep Patrick Mahomes interested. Yeah, I think it gets bored at bored at time. So they come up with all these little kind of unique plays, especially Red Zone, especially tight Red Zone plays. And the little touchdown pass to Isaiah Likley was one of those plays. That's right out of the playbook of the Kansas City Chiefs. So what does that tell me as I interview myself that tells me that Matt Nagy believes that his quarterback is smart enough, good enough athletic enough to create plays around him where he can handle it and not overreact and not you know, what his pants. So it was about as good as an opening game for Jackson Dart, Matt Nagy and the entire offense. Now the one thing I will say about the defense, you know, the penalties, the guy who get rid of the penalties. Yeah. Too many penalties and I a couple of those passing
interference calls for like, come on guys. I mean, the White Series, no chance to get the ball. And I don't think either of these defensive backs are really inhibiting them. And that's why you would be throwing the flags. I question some of that. But overall, this was, it couldn't have gone any better against the team that had owned them for 14 straight games with that press goddess quarterback. Yeah. And it's not like the Cowboys got shut out and the Giants defense was all over them. But the Giants have issues in their secondary. They also had some injuries last night as well back there. So the fact that Dak Press got didn't throw 45 points on them. I think it's really something that we need to look at as well. And you get that, you know, Javante Williams with this dumb ass, personal foul penalty, pushes Brandon Aubrey back for a 50 yard extra point and misses it. But the most impressive part about the end of the game was the Giants were not giving the ball back to the Cowboys. I was thinking about it five minutes left to go.
What are we doing? Yeah, you know what I mean? And boom, boom, boom, boom. And third down conversions. Right. Exactly. And that's the difference between the the Jack game and Tennessee was that both the Cowboys and the Giants had a very high percentage of third down conversions. And that's good for the quarterbacks. And especially like lately game, games getting tight, you know, all of a sudden, here we go. We got an eight point game and the Giants got the ball. And they're still throwing the ball. And Jackson's art was thrown in it and they trust them and they're, they put them in all the, those are the toughest spots because you know that the momentum of the game is starting to swing. So you got to stop the momentum. And you do that when you have a very talented quarterback that you believe in and that you have confidence in. And you know, he didn't play a lot in preseason. There were other players around the league that looked like they had played a lot in preseason either. But it looked like Jackson's art kind of picked up where he left off last year. But now all of a sudden, he kind of understands it. Yeah. He's gone on. I had, I had, I had, I had, I didn't, I once think that he looked like someone who
needed more football in the preseason. And that's something that we discussed a lot of obviously the running is still a huge part of his game. You know, that was a late hit. That first hit he took down the, the far sideline ends up being a personal foul penalty in a late hit. And he takes that one. And obviously, he was fired up on the sideline. But every other time that he ran the football, he, he protected himself for the most part, he got out of bounds. It was smart about it. And honestly, like he looked quicker to me this year than he did last year. Well, he's smarter. Yeah. He's just smarter. He understands the game better. It's the light has gone on for him. Now he's got, well, look, we got a long way to go. And there are going to be some tough games. We know that next week is not going to be easy against the Rams, but they are lucky. They're not going to see Miles Garrett. So they get a break there. We'll see what kind of shape the Rams are in next. I think it's next Monday night. Yeah, Monday, yeah. So they got a whole week off, maybe a couple of extra days off this week, which would be good. And again, I can't, I can't reiterate enough about what a coach can do for a team.
And what, what the John Harboss signing, when Chris Marrow went down there to sit down and talk to him and convince him and given $20 million a year, that would convince me too, but the come here and the beat of coach and just kind of like, I get felt like the team was totally organized. Yeah. And we just haven't seen it. You know, right? I know that in this, I could say the same thing about the Jets, especially in offense, even though the Jets were playing, maybe the worst offense in football with Brian Debel, Colin Place for Camp Ward, who just is brutal right now. And I don't know if they're long for that kid. I really don't, I mean, and it's the first game. And again, I want to be careful about overreacting, but you know, they're going to be like three teams in the running for archmaning. We ask. They're going to be three teams in running for archmaning. Miami's going to be one of them. I do believe Tennessee's going to be the other. You know, who knows about Arizona? We don't know, but that's the team that surprised us yesterday. You know, it probably percent look great.
You know, I was wondering like, why is he asking for a race? Well, he got it because of the way that he played yesterday. And the fact that, you know, the team's not great, but they do have some good players. But that was a huge win for Michael Floor, the former offensive coordinator for the Jets, and also for the Rams. Yeah, it was, I mean, I think that most people are going to look at it as a terrible loss for the chargers more than a great win for the Cardinals. We ended up getting knocked out of our knockout pool, like many others did picking the chargers felt foolish watching that football game. And I mean, but they, they, it's, I just don't know how you could be that sort of unprepared and list list through four quarters when you have an advantage in a roster, almost man-to-man every position against your opponent. And the stable coaching staff supposedly, like, a pair to a brand new coaching staff for the, for the Cardinals. I mean, it just felt like this was like the, all right, we need to get serious moment.
Like it's all fun and games and it's Madison Beer. It's, it's Jim Harbour making his jokes and it's Mike McDaniel at the podium, you know, messing around and ha ha ha and his jokes. And then you just got your ass kicked at home by what people thought was the worst team in football, at least, at the very least, the second worst team in football. It's like times like enough with a dilly dally. This is where I think sometimes like when you have a team like the Dallas Cowboys that you're opening up with as opposed to or like the Green Bay Packers or something like that, as opposed to this team that you just expected the beef, there might be a mentality thing too, where it's like, oh, yeah, we got that. Open up against the car. 100 100 100 100. Center is a, I think it's a natural mentality thing, but you know, the other end, it's like, oh man, no one thinks we're going to win. We'll go in here and beat their ass. How many times Joe Sip tell you? Well, of course. Yeah. I mean, like I heard that every, I think I heard that every Saturday, even if we were favored by 15, 20, whatever. But you know, when I, when I also think about maybe just a Madison commited midfield and she can rub his, her hand through her, his hair and make him feel better.
Yeah, she was up on the, the broadcast a couple times, looking, looking confused, but yeah, looking fused, but looking really good. She looked good. Actually, it's the best part of the actual thing. I think it might have been, yeah, one guy had a viral tweet viral post on X yesterday, where he said, if she, he was like the video of her where they put her up on the broadcast and the guy quote, posted the video and said, if she farted in my car, I keep the windows up. Got like four million views. And people, he said he'd roll the windows up. Oh, roll, sorry, roll the windows up. So he saw it to viral. So that's how, that's how good he thought to cheat. I come across my feet. I'm sorry. Yeah. No, yeah. It was there. It was football related. I love football, man. And especially when the teams win now for the jets, here's the thing. It's unfortunately that Omar Cooper got hurt yesterday. You could see, you know, there's something special there. Yeah. There's something really something special there. He's got explosiveness. He's probably going to be out four to six weeks for the high ankle sprain. You know, I don't know anything.
I didn't talk to the coaches at all. I asked not to talk to Frank. Just congratulated him on a really great game. But this was this is the type of offense that you want to see. You want to see a balanced offense. And that's exactly what it was. And he, I told you, he loves himself. Some Kenyan Sadeek. Oh, my goodness. I knew when you're that big and that fast, you're going to get involved. And, you know, they he in practice all year. Until this week and, you know, he, you know, they had him a little bit on a pitch count, I think. But you can see the speed that both he and Cooper bring to the team. Yes. And, you know, the other thing too, watching, watching Breeze Hall number 20 reminds me of Jonathan Taylor when he was in Indianapolis with Frank. So that's the balance you want. And that's the balance you're going to get. They screwed up at the end of the first half. But I think they felt like, you know, let's just get out of the half and let's not do anything stupid. I had no turnovers yesterday. They were dominating the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. Cam Ward couldn't do a damn thing. And you know, I think it was, I think the Jets caught a break because they played one of
the worst teams in the league. Yeah. And, and one of the worst coaches, and I will stand by that. He had the Jets completely unprepared for 75% of the games that he coached here. Everybody thought they were getting, you know, new rockney when he came back from the Jets went to the 49ers and got hired again down in Tennessee. Every one of the great hires. No, I mean, the guy is a, he's just not a head coach. He's not and he's got a terrible roster and he's got a quarterback who is lost right now. And the Jets smacked him around. It was great to see. That would have been a, just a really just tough beat if the Jets go down to Tennessee with that team and that quarterback and that coach and lost week one. And the fact that they blew him out and it wasn't even close was, was tremendous. Yeah, two big injuries. Unfortunately, one on the defense, one on the offense, one on our Cooper Jr. on the offense and then make a Fitzpatrick with his groin on the defense. So that sucks. There's so two ways about that. You don't want to lose either one of those guys. But this was, there was just a calmness. It was, it felt in control. It felt like there was confidence on both sides of the ball.
It was, it was, it was really, really, it looked like a team that had been together for several years as opposed to an offensive coordinator just got there or Geno Smith coming back after all these years. They, it was really, really impressive. And I know they got a tough one coming up against Green Bay who fell apart again. I mean, my goodness. This team to have an entire season last year, with all they talk about is how they collapse. Then an off season about how they were about to fire Matt LaFloor because all he did was collapse. And then to come in week one with their starting quarterback of your opponent going down in the first quarter and then to collapse an epic fetched against one of your biggest rivals in the 425 slots for everybody to see. I mean, that is brutal, but anyway, so that's where the Jets are going to see next week. Right. And here's a difference now for the Jets. So they played a team yesterday in which really had to have to worry about scoring points. They weren't going to score points. I mean, like, so they got 10 points.
The last what the last touchdown was an O by the way touchdown. So it's a little bit easier for the offense. You know, you can go with three and out a couple times and then still move the ball and then kick an extra point. I feel go or score a touchdown. Now you get to you have to play the next couple games. Now they're going to have to play against quarterbacks and offenses that are going to put up points. And that will have a profound effect on the jet offense. The jet offense is going to have to match that. They're going to have to stay away from the turnovers. They have to stay away from the sacks. And you know, that's what they did yesterday. And as long as you do that, you're going to give yourself a chance to win in the fourth quarter against all these teams. So I know that Frank and the offensive staff over there have just, I mean, drilled it into everybody's head. Fumbles, interceptions, turnovers. Just we can't have them and we can't take anything for granted. We can't take snaps for granted. We can't take handoffs for granted for granted. You know, what are reasons why they signed that kid from or traded for that kid from the
Raiders is because they were having trouble in practice with the second team center. There were fumbles. There were bad snaps. And so they wanted to take care of that now. Have they taken care of the backup quarterback just in case something happens to Gina? I don't necessarily feel that they have, but that's a problem if it happens. We'll discuss that. But they're right now, you know, with K club nickers, they're backup. And we've already seen two quarterbacks come off the bench that had been season veterans that have won games in the NFL that have won big games the first week of the NFL season. And that's Carson Wentz and Drew Locke. Pete's. Hey, all right. It's almost here. Are you ready? Just grabbing my shoes. That's what you said 10 minutes ago. I just wrapped the video call, uploading this giant file on my tablet, looking at my watch group and Nana's with the group chat. And of course, still lining up tonight's playlist on my phone.

The numbers 888 828 101 9 and the update anchor today is Celo, Crystal Presti because Jerry Racco was calling Giants Cowboys for compass media networks last night. What is up? Oh, good morning. He was what? He was calling the game. He called Giants Cowboys. Man, where was that game? Oh, that was here. Yeah. It was a met life state. Huh. He's not here this morning. He is not. But he also works the entire summer. Yeah. And this is where he kind of uses his days for Rutgers and compass during the fall.
So he doesn't burn himself out. That's why it works the entire summer. So he's taking an official vacation date today. Indeed. Yes. Okay. That's his right. Yes, it is. Yeah. Okay. You sound real and through is the power. How many years did I do Monday night football and being back in here in Tuesday morning? Hey, boom, we're up your ass. There you go. Al, do you know how many times that took a place? It was a number of years. So how to be lots of you think we're probably up north of 50. Oh, yeah. Okay. Definitely. There's probably a 10 or more every year. What do you think Jerry would say to that, C. What? Shove it, boomer. Exactly. Yeah. I'll just, listen, I'm just having a conversation. Oh, yes. That's all the conversation. I think he would reference all the prep work that goes into this shift and the warm-up show and starting before six really probably getting here like 345s, start getting everything ready for the show. What time did you left the stadium? Wasn't this like he used to sleep on my couch?
Yes. So why can't he do that now? I would tell you that the emails I got from him, because I would say this vacation days to power him. Eat it, boomer. Okay. Well, this is his way of making sure he stays sane. It's week one. You know, like that's what it is. It's like he would rather work during the summer hosting and then save the vacation days around his travel for compass and Rutgers. Kind of has to. So yes, so he doesn't. Yeah, just he's got no choice really. Yeah. He could have he could have come in today. I just wonder. That's all I'm not I'm not I'm not trying to. I'm just wondering that's all. Hey, ass face. Yeah. He was emailing me his highlights at 1217 this morning. At a boy. There you go. We will hear. We'll hear his highlight. Not this hour, but we will get to his highlights. Awesome. But he wants us to hear his highlights. No, well, he knows you like to hear and comment on his play by play.
That is fair. I think it's a great play by play guy. We will get to some of his calls. Don't get me wrong. I just I love Jerry. I just I thought the game was the mental answer. It was yes. Okay. That's all. I mean, was it a Dallas? No. It was one of these international games. Yeah. He was in an Australia something. I wouldn't expect to come back for that. All right. It's a cut the guys. I'm slack. Would you? You know, there have been nights. He's he's up to it. He's got to stop it. Stop it. I think they get into the ruckus season and there'll be nights where, you know, they're landing at Newark. It's some god for sake and hour. And he's coming right here and sleeping on your couch. Those days are still to come between now and March. I understand that. I want to make it as comfortable as I possibly can from sure you do. All right. So let's get to that. I'll see that. Things were going well for the giant offense. Most of last night's game, but a good response after Dallas scored to make it 21 14, final minute of the third quarter. It's complex with a 13 play drive, which was kept off by this.
York takes the snap throws it again, the single Terry on the left piece of the five and into the touchdown. Third touchdown pass for Jackson. And they ran the same play over and over again. And the giants widen their lead with 726. You know what that is? That's the Malik neighbors effect. Everybody's backing off because they got speed out there on the field, man, and it worked out perfectly. You know, there was another pass that Jackson threw to Isaiah likely. He slipped. He should have scored a touchdown. You know, he slipped down around the top yard line. He got up and he was really frustrated with himself. Jackson threw the ball perfectly that defender was coming from the back left side of Isaiah likely. And he threw it to his right where he could have just pivoted and walked right into the end zone for an easy touchdown. The thing that was really, really impressive last night was the accuracy. The accuracy was amazing. It was he put it where he wanted to put it and got it there and gave his wide receivers
a chance. And that play difference was also on Collinsworth was given OBJ credit for clearing that out. Maybe that was a little over the top, but he was saying that Beckham came across and the defense with him and then that left likely open the middle of the field. Yeah, I mean, it's would early on. Yes. Oh, man. Well, I, it's just the Molyke neighbors effect and you could see that he looks good. He looks really good, man. Snatching a ball out of the air. I love that one. Those guys catch the ball that way away from their body. Hey, Rom, you might know the answer to this. You're one of these young guys. The new thing I see now is this, like they're hand on the mouth and then the moving of their like you're slapping a fish or something. No, no, it is shut the apple off. What is that? What is that from? Do you know? I think it's a streamer thing because they were doing it last year already, but I'm not certain. My kids would know. They've talked about it. I don't remember what the answer was, but they definitely know kids are young. 10 to 7. Wow. Yeah. Okay. This YouTube world, they live in man. Yeah, I know. I know all about it. Yeah.
Yeah. So the Cowboys did come down and score again after the TD. We just heard the Javante Williams, you know, the taunting penalty leading to the Miss extra point eight point spread, but giants get back on the field and did not give the ball back to the Cowboys 12 plays 57 yards, 447 to end the game, run the clock out for a 28 to 20 final. So a whopping success for John Harbaugh and his official debut as giants hit coach afterwards asked where this win ranks on his career list. You know, it's funny. It's number one. It's number one because it's the one right now, you know, and my dad always says that he goes, he always says, he'll say this in the car in the way home. He'll say, he'll say, John, you've never had a better win than that. He says it every time. You know, I'm gonna tell you, I think this time it might be true. Maybe they got in the car last night together and did that because mom and dad were in attendance and part of the post game locker room celebration. We'll get you some of that later on in the show as was Malik neighbors as Boomer reference. He did end up playing. He played quite a bit nine targets six catches for 69 yards really came down to the wire though, whether or not he was going to be active or inactive.
So you really didn't know talk to hours. I really didn't know my family didn't even come to this game just because you know, I didn't know. I don't know. And this is one of one better that you got to go through. You got to do for yourself. So he was cleared medically with the knee, but it was a mental battle for him to the point where Harbaugh had to take matters into his own hands during walk through on an office was on Friday or Saturday. Here's part one of that story courtesy of Jackson Darryl. Me and coach Harbaugh is going to have some conversations. He's like, you know what? I think that once he gets hit for the first time and realizes that he's okay, then he's going to feel confident. So I think in his mind that triggered, oh, maybe I should tackle him right then and there. In his mind, meaning Harbaugh, the 60 plus year old head coach, and the next thing you know. And then all of a sudden, Lee goes down on the ground and our team's super protective of him. So we all turn to look and it's coach Harbs tackling Lee. And then he pops up and he goes, see you're all good. So that's what it took. I mean, it is a great story because he played, he contributed and the Giants won if John
Harbaugh had like ripped up his knee while doing that, like surprise tackling him in a walk through and then just like tore his other ACL. That would have been one of the, that was what would have happened if the Jets had done something like that. Yeah. Like if Garrett Wilson was the one who was worried about coming back from an injury and Aaron Glenn tackled him, he probably would have broken his leg. But because it's the Giants, it turns out to be one of the great stories of the season. Exactly. They all could smile on laugh. That's right. Yeah. Afterwards, Isaiah likely in this Giants debut eight targets, eight catches, 78 yards, the two touchdowns, cams, scatter boo, 81 yards rushing and a touchdown on the opening drive really all went well for big blue. Najee Harris was the odd man out in the backfield inactive last night. Devon Singletari had the receiving touchdown. We heard Tyrone Tracy did lose a fumble. So after a rough summer and preseason for him, ball security issues, though I did see Harbaugh kind of giving him a big hug and a little pep talk on the sideline at the end of the game. I don't know if that means anything for the Giants on the night. No three inouts. They were nine of 11 on third down.
That's their highest percentage in any game since at least 1991. So they really checked a lot of boxes last night off to a good start as they will get ready for Monday night at the right. One more thing on the Giants here. Celo Brad and point pleasant. What's going on Brad? Blomerangio. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. What's happening Bradley? Just real quick. Joe, are you are you wondering what I am if showmer asked ran out of blue to last night? That's right. Yeah. Brad, good question. Listen, Texas more than just physical. I'll be needed any blue to have to match a right. Blue cheer. Big blue cheer. That's what that was. That's like this. Oh my god. Bed of sex. Touchdown likely. But it sound profitee's wall. That's in dark. It's got to move. Hard to sound proof those rooms when I'm done with it. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh. Oh.
Oh. Oh. Oh. That's. Oh, he's going to be fired up today, baby. I can tell you I got here very late last night after S and Y. I was here with Lou Gower out in the newsroom before he went on. Did you go home or did you stay here? No, I was here. Oh, you stayed here. So did Rami. Oh. Very impressive, boys. I'm not sure where Rami was coming from, but he was here. Where did you sleep? On a couch here in the building. Oh my gosh. No, I don't have your key. Oh, okay. I don't need a key area. I'm sure it's here. Or do you lock that door? I still lock it, but it's very easy. No, I know you've offered it, but your couch is it the same one you had in the old office? Yeah. It's very picture-esque, but I find it to be, how do I put this? Like I don't, I almost don't want to, it doesn't feel like a good napping couch, you know I'm saying? For you, you little guy, you fit in on there perfectly. It's just like it's too nice, you know? Like I can't really stick into it. I know what he means, but it's like a nice, bougie couch.
You're like, bougie couch. Yeah, you can. What if I drooled with that one of those things? You're fine, and the thing about it is, you know, Pat Boyle used to love that. Well, sure, he's taking beers out of your fridge, he's sleeping on the couch and leaving your notes and all that. Anyway, my point is, I know Marash, but we put a text in our group chat and it was like 1 a.m. and Marash was respondents. He was up late enjoying the aftermath, the aftermath below. Look, they're not touching that up. All right, let me get to the jets before we run out of time. Plus the Yankees and the Metz. Pretty much, I'm going to call it a rocking chair victory for the jets, really, especially in the second half and down the stretch in Nashville's, they open up 1 and 0 for Aaron Glenn. You know Smith, hand off, please hold, what a wrap. That's the five. Puzz is in the young zone. Touch that. Nice and simple there, Bob. Yes. That's a radio hall going in untouched off the left side. Four yards out, put the jets up 17, three in the third quarter, hall over 100 yards on the ground. Geno Smith, an efficient 19 of 24 for 215 yards passing.
No turnovers, no sacks. He referenced after the game and he was not even touched as the jet offensive line. Which is great, which is awesome. We all thought it was going to be a strength of the New York Jetsons. It's certainly shown itself yesterday. Look, you're playing against an offensive. Can't even score. Yeah, can't get out of their own way. You know, they're still ass. I'm saying on offense. So I mean, they, it's going to be a lot harder these next three weeks now because they're going to be playing against offenses that actually will score points. God, they just, I mean, the amount of empty seats there yesterday. Oh, they're there. So not a good seat. They're so done with a cam ward like the fan bases. It's almost as bad as the Browns are with the Sean. Wow. That's a statement there. I mean, it's only the start of year two. Right. I know. And you've got to give him some time. But still, like you could see the inaccuracy, the indecision. It takes him to like, like, if you watched Jackson, dark last night, and Geno, by the way, both of them, you know, look one when then come back immediately and get the ball out of their
hands. So, you know, that's what you want to see from these young quarterbacks. And unfortunately for him, he seems to be mere mired. I should say like in this mental lock of just not understanding everything that's going on around him. Yeah. Jets hold the Titans under 200 yards of offense. They win 23 to 10. There were a lot of jet fans and attendance. Again, the tickets were going for as low as 20 bucks down there in Nashville for week one. Six months, a successful return to defensive play calling for Aaron Glenn. No turnovers on D, but they were pretty buttoned up here. He was post game. Something that I miss doing. This collective effort. You know, I think everybody, the whole staff did an outstanding job of collecting information, giving me the information that they have. And then me, you know, just figuring out how we want to get ready to attack this team. Yeah, it's sax for Wilmick Donald and David Bailey and his NFL debuts that Jets will now get ready to play their home opener against the Packers who had their troubles with Carson Wenz and the Vikings yesterday coming in for Kyler Murray after a concussion. Three TD passes for Wenz. Man, did you see Brian? Brian Flores was just getting after a tour of love.
What he does. Yeah, I mean, there was a lot of confusion there. I mean, that's the one thing about him. And they lost a lot of players, especially up front. And he still is like a he's one of those guys in the NFL. That's an equalizer. No matter who is on his roster, like like he will find a way to have a top 10 defense, regardless of the turnover. He's that good as a coordinator. And yeah, it was a rough start, but boy, I mean, when they turned it on, they turned it on. But you know, Matt LaFlores got to have an answer to that. He's got to give Jordan love a chance. And he's got to say, okay, after doing this, this is where we're going with the ball. And it didn't seem like that until late in the game, they finally started to do some of that stuff. But in the body of like the third and into the fourth quarter, he was getting his ass kicked. Yeah. We'll go around the league throughout the course of the morning. You've got the Broncos and the Chiefs tonight, the Monday night or the cap week one, real quick on the baseball. Cam Schlippler didn't need a lot of offense yesterday. Rubber Game Yankees take over the Mets two nothing. He's got a little homers for Ben Rice and Austin Wells. Schlippler six innings of one run ball. Obviously no one hit ball.
I should say no runs two walks eight Ks and seems to be okay after getting hit by a comeback or off his final pitch of the day. He's our Yankees thriving player. The game brought you by Thrive O Infusion, New York's Premier Infusion and Injection Center saving lives dripped by drip visit Thrive O Infusion.com. So the Yankees take the series. They went five and one like you wanted. So did the raise though. So still. Yeah, the raise were amazing. Now the Yankees are on the road again. Minnesota and Diamondbacks. Diamondbacks are a pretty good team. They're still in the mix. Minnesota not so much right? Come the tweezers. I guess. I was laring on the mound tonight. The Mets have the Orioles coming in. Jonah Tongue. Right. Peter Lonzo and Francisco Lindor sits on 299 career. Oh, really? You guys are twins are five and a half out of a wildcard. So there's no really. Not really. There's too many other teams in the mix there. Yeah, yeah, they'd have to jump like seven times. Right. Yes. Three-year-old run. So remember the Orioles in city field. What did I tell you? Leads the American League of NrBI's. Oh, apparently I have to go. Paul had some run in with Joe on Saturday.
Multiple people alerted me. Oh, I got one of those two. I got to go check that out. Yeah. Paul and Yonkers. Paul and Yonkers and Joe Beningo. Yeah. That was a collision course. I don't know what happened, but I got like three or four different tweets about it. So I got to go check that out. Hey, all right. It's almost here. Are you ready? Just grabbing my shoes. Let's switch you set 10 minutes ago. I just wrapped the video call, uploading this giant file on my tablet, looking at my watch group of Nana's with the group chat, and of course, still lining up tonight's playlist on my phone. All at once? Yep. Story of my life. That's why I switched to D-Mobile. They have the fastest 5G network. Okay, multitasker. I see you. Honestly, I never imagined I could do all this at once.

How we made your mother is the how I met your mother rewatch podcast with me, Josh Ravner, and series co-creator Craig Thomas. Follow how we made your mother wherever you get your podcasts. It's the Boomerangio podcast from WSAN. Hi, Boomerangio, I'm the fan and CBS Sports Network on this Victory Football Monday in New York. The really two other amazing statistics from both the jet and giant game yesterday was time of possession for the offenses. So the jets had the ball for almost 40 minutes in their game. I think the giants were close to 37 minutes. And I also believe that maybe what I think, the guys had the ball twice in the second half. The giants had the ball three times and had, I'm looking at it right now, 12 plays 75 yards turned into a touchdown.
13 plays 65 yards turned into a touchdown. And then of course, as we were talking about, you want to talk about ending a game, the four minute offense, taking the game and taking the ball and running it down to the throat of your opponent, 12 plays 47 yards and 521 in total time of possession for that last series. You're going to see that time of possession number pretty high when you get out to a lead and you can successfully run the football. And both teams did that. Both teams were able to do that. They got a lead and they were successfully able to run the football and convert third downs throughout the game. Let's go to Eric and Pekip see what's going on. Eric, good morning. Good morning, Boomer and Gio. How are we doing? Good, Eric. What's up? What's happening, brother? All right. So I'm fired up this morning for a couple of reasons. First, you guys were talking about Madison Beer and Justin Herbert. And there was a tweet that I saw on Twitter and it was one nine year old kid found out he was straight yesterday watching Madison Beer's celebrated touchdown. I love it. And that's the one we thought you were going to.
Listen, a couple of things I want to get straight here. So a good thing for the Giants. You guys were talking about converting third downs. The Giants I saw at Stat yesterday had zero three and outs throughout the game. So that really speaks to the time of possession. But a concern that I have is a Giants fan right now. If you're in opposing offense, why not just throw the ball down the field and draw a passing or fear in score? They had 67 yards. The Cowboys did on that one drive in the first quarter where they scored a touchdown. And it seems blatantly obvious what you need to do unless I'm overthinking it. No, I mean, and that was a concern coming in. I think that it's in a stupe observation and you're going to probably see Jordan love and Matt LaFlore try to exploit that secondary as well. And I don't even really think it's like they're thinking let's throw the ball down the field just to get the call. Let's let's. Well, the Giants have the Rams next week. Oh, yeah, I'm told that's right. I'm talking about the Giants have the Packers, but I think so Sean McVey and Devante Adams and Pukin, the Kuwaiti, the same situation trying to get the ball down the field. So yeah, I mean, it's like we're going to try to exploit the advantage that we have.
And if we don't catch the football, there's a good chance of one of those guys to commit a penalty. I absolutely think that that is something to be concerned about. One of the few concerns over the positives that came out of it. This is a great Monday morning. I couldn't have gone any better for either team. And next week they both play much better teams teams that will most likely be playoff teams or were at least expected to be playoff teams before the season started and the Rams, obviously. Everybody's favorite to go back to the Super Bowl. And there's no way that Matthew Stafford is playing the way that he played in Australia. I don't care why anybody says, you know, that travel that. And by the way, the Rams, as I told you, the Rams spent two years looking into this because the NFL wants to show on McVey and said, would you want to play in Australia? And if you want to play in Australia, who would you want to play? And he said, oh, I want to play the 49ers in Australia. And it can be our home game because 49er fans infect our stadium when we play at home.
Yep. So he actually wanted this game to be played in Australia against the 49ers and did what he did in terms of travel and screwed the whole thing up. Well, we see this is where I disagree. I don't know if he screwed the whole thing up yet because I need to see what happens afterwards. I give they sacrifice that game to stay fresh for the next few weeks and the 49ers are the ones that are jet lagged and screwing up and don't look the same afterwards. Then we'll know. But for one game, for one game, it was the wrong decision. Yeah, the rest of the season, I don't know yet. But he wanted that game against that team and he had his sports science gurus looking into this and how to get there and when to get there and it totally turned flat on them. Hey, alright, almost here. Are you ready? Just grabbing my shoes. That's what you said 10 minutes ago. I just wrapped the video call, uploading this giant file on my tablet, looking at my watch goop and Nana's with the group chat and of course still lining up tonight's playlist
