Welcome to the very first episode of JetNation Flight 29, a brand-new show from JetNation featuring former Jets running back Bilal Powell and co-host Rami Lavi. This is more than just another NY Jets Podcast, it’s a place where fans can get unfiltered takes, insider perspective, and the type of honest football talk you won’t hear anywhere else.
For episode one, Bilal and Rami waste no time digging into the biggest concerns facing the Jets right now. The conversation starts with the lack of discipline the team has shown through the early part of the season. Penalties, missed assignments, and mental lapses have been a recurring theme, and Powell explains why that can’t continue if the Jets hope to turn things around.
The hosts then take a hard look at the struggles under new head coach Aaron Glenn. Powell doesn’t shy away from criticism, saying that so far, this rocky start feels worse than what fans experienced during the Adam Gase era. He points out that Glenn has to find a way to adjust his scheme to his personnel rather than forcing players into roles that don’t suit their strengths.
Accountability is the focus throughout this first episode, especially when it comes to the coaching staff. If the Jets want to right the ship, it starts on the sideline, and Powell makes it clear that everyone has to be held responsible.
