TJB Radio Show: Show No. 5 WRAPPED!
Week 5 of the TJB Radio is a wrap. Unfortunately, Gary Westwick of The Tennessean didn’t get a chance to come on, so I apologize to those of you who were looking forward to that.
Some topics from the show:
- I owe Jets fans an apology for doubting the team’s ability to back up their words. The lesson: I know nothing.
- Jets fans deserve more than a round of applause for the show they put on in the stands last week.
- Just how big was the Pats win? In a word: HUUUUUUUUGE, Tom (Upstate NY joke).
- How does Chris Johnson affect the Jets’ blitz-happy scheme?
- The Jets should be handle the Titans’ wide recievers as none of them jump off the page at me.
- The run game will continue to lack in style going forward, but that’s for a number of reasons. Teams respected their deep game much more last year with Brett Favre, so the defenses are much closer to the line of scrimmage this year. Also, coaches and players know the Jets are going to run, run, run so there’s no reason for them not to put 8 or 9 in the box. Also, Mark Sanchez is still a rookie so teams are going to dare him to beat them and try to stop the run.
- Are the 2-0 Jets hungrier than a desperate 0-2 Tennessee Titans team?
- Should the Jets give up on Brad Smith? This year is his make-or-break year and if he fails to show in the passing game, it will come down to him vs. Wallace Wright on special teams next offseason.
- Oh, and Michael Ventre is misguided, ignorant, ill-informed and wrote an inflammatory piece because it’s all he knows how to do. Hope he gets trampled by his high horse.
- PROGRAMMING NOTE: It’s a short turnaround for the show as next week’s show will be MONDAY, Sept. 28 at 8:00 p.m. EST due to a scheduling conflict. The show will be moving back to Tuesdays for the month of October the following week because of a change in my work schedule.
Thanks to Justin for figuring out the push to talk button works and sorry it wasn’t the show you were looking for, but great question regardless. Some great e-mails this week from Bent, Kirk the Jerk, and Mark Bundgaard (Sorry, I didn’t read your e-mail specifically because I felt the talk throughout the show was basically your e-mail!). We got some GREAT chat room questions too from a number of people, so thanks for that too! Sorry Newman for the Seinfeld references — I couldn’t help it.
You guys make this show better! See you next week, MONDAY at 8:00 p.m. EST at BlogTalkRadio.com/TheJetsBlog!

Kirk the Jerk says:
The worst thing about Ventre is that you just can’t shake it off. We’re trying to bask in the awesomeness that is beating the Pats (it’s recently been about as infrequent as Haley’s comet) and he just has to go for the low blow. It’s just plain unprofessional.

I don’t want to be negative, but you should work harder on having this be a two-man conversation. I feel like you’re falling back on this bull#$%@t radio monologue cadence. You’re a fan doing a podcast for a blog, be natural don’t give us a WFAN audition tape. Get someone else to come talk with you for an hour and talk like you would over a beer. I haven’t been able to make it through a single podcast yet. Still, I think it can work and hope you can get it down going forward.
wow that mike ventre article was a low blow to jet fans and the team…shows he is a bad writer when he used that unoriginal fat slob football fan cliche about us to start his article
