Summary

Scott Mason talks to Chris Nimbley of Jetsinsider.com to answer YOUR questions (part 1). We take YOUR questions about Adam Gase the Alpha Male, Chris's memories of covering Josh McCown, if we should expect any immediate friction between Gase and Le'Veon Bell, which GM candidates will be confident enough to set pre-conditions and not be worried about Woody Johnson, whether or not Chris got a real sense of how Gregg Williams will be using Jachai Polite based on what was going on at OTAs, how the "Almost Jets" doomed Mike Maccagnan and if his roster building philosophy made any real strategic sense, plus we even throw in a little nod to AEW as we await their big show "Double or Nothing!" Note: We had such an overwhelming response to the mailbag and received so many questions that the answers were broken down into multiple parts. This was part 1.

0:00.0	This is the Overtime Podcast Network.
0:03.2	Welcome to the Memorial Day weekend mega mailbag.
0:06.4	My name is Scott Mason.
0:07.6	You can follow me on Twitter at Play Like a Jet One, and I am joined by the owner, the operator, the lead reporter, the whole shebang over at Jetsonsider.com.
0:15.9	And of course, above all of that, a very big deal, Mr. Chris Nimbley.
0:19.6	And Chris, before we get into the mailbag questions,
0:21.7	we should probably address the news that came out, which is that the Jets have finally formally
0:26.4	requested permission to speak with two general manager candidates. One of them is assistant
0:31.6	director of player personnel, champ Kelly in Chicago. The other is the one that's been talked about the most so far,
0:39.4	VP of player personnel with the Philadelphia Eagles, Joe Douglas.
0:43.7	Both guys have ties to Adam Gase.
0:46.2	So as we stand right now, we don't know when the interviews are going to actually happen,
0:51.1	but we do know that the Jets have formally requested permission. What's going on
0:55.2	with all this, Chris? Yeah, obviously, you just said there's the two guys, Joe Douglas' name.
1:00.4	We've been hearing all along. Champ Kelly, he was somebody that, you know, was mentioned.
1:06.0	That first wave after the whole Joe Douglas, Jeremiah, pairing was talked about. He was grouped in there. I believe Alicia Shumeda was the first to report that. But they've obviously, everyone was concerned, where's going on? They're not saying anything. But they officially put in the request there. So they have identified a top two targets for right now, at least.
1:32.4	Now, we'll have to wait and see how the interviews go.
1:35.0	Maybe they interview them and then decide that they want to interview some more people.
1:38.7	But that appears that that's the top two targets for them right now.
1:43.8	Again, Douglas was always the heavy favorite from everybody I've spoken to.

1:54.1	They still feel like Douglas is the favorite.
