Hour 3: Phil Simms on Dexter Lawrence & Which QB the Jets Should Target

In this episode of Bart & Carlin, former Giants quarterback Phil Simms joins the show for the weekly Sims Spotlight, offering deep insights ahead of the NFL Draft. Simms discusses the ongoing situation with Dexter Lawrence, expressing skepticism about a trade despite Lawrence's desire for more money, emphasizing the difficulty of replacing a dominant interior lineman and the importance of keeping key players during a rebuild. He makes a strong case for the Jets targeting Carson Beck, highlighting Beck’s size, arm strength, adaptability to Miami’s precise offense, and mental toughness forged through adversity at Georgia and Miami. Simms also weighs in on running backs, cautioning against high draft picks due to injury risks, while praising Jeremiah Love as a potential franchise talent. On defense, he praises Reuben Bain’s production and resilience despite concerns about his short arms, noting that teams are now focusing on performance over physical measurements. The hosts then shift to broader sports commentary, including critiques of coaching firings in the NHL and the controversial 'Google me' moment from Doc Rivers, which they label as a 'nozzle' moment. They also debate the NCAA’s potential expansion to 76 teams, questioning whether it would truly revive the Cinderella story or just dilute the tournament’s integrity.
