Happy Tanks Giving from the JetNation crew. Rami Lavi and Bilal Powell are back in the studio, breaking down the state of the team and what matters most as the season winds down in this week’s NY Jets Podcast. Bilal goes straight to the heart of it. At some point, you have to let the younger guys play. He thinks several backups deserve the chance to finish out the year and show what they can do. He is not worried about draft positioning. It is about finishing games with pride and setting the tone for the future. Rami is a fan of the tank, lose for the draft pick. Bilal thinks finishing hard, building respect is more important and mentions how the Giants found their QB last year and it wasn’t until late in the first round.

The guys dive into the quarterback situation too. Should Brady Cook get snaps? Tyrod Taylor played better last week and Justin Fields continues to absorb the criticism for an offense that has not found its rhythm. But the theme is the same. It is time to focus on development and evaluate the young players on the roster.

They also hit on the issues that have dragged the defense down. A lack of turnovers, no consistent pressure on the quarterback, and too much man coverage behind a pass rush that has not been getting home. Rami raises a big question about Aaron Glenn and says he does not have faith in him as the long-term answer. Bilal pushes back and points out how many coaches have been in and out of the building in recent years. At some point, you have to pick a direction and trust a coach who believes in developing young players.

It is another honest and unfiltered Flight 29 breakdown. Check out the full episode for the complete conversation.
