John Idzik's failed Cicero impression on Monday wasn't the only interview opportunity he granted a media outlet that day.

SNY's Jeane Coakley also got Idzik, the Jets' general manager, for a one-on-one interview that will air in two parts, with the first coming Tuesday night at 6:30 and the second on Thursday night at 6:30.

According to a transcript provided by SNY, Coakley asked Idzik whether the Jets have a franchise quarterback on their roster at the moment. Obviously, that's a question about Geno Smith, the quarterback Idzik picked in the second round of the 2013 draft.

Idzik's reply:

Smith is now 24 games into his NFL career, and he does seem to keep repeating the same mistakes. He got benched after throwing three picks in 11 snaps during Sunday's blowout loss at home against the Bills, and his replacement, Michael Vick, is starting this Sunday in Kansas City. Smith has 12 turnovers in eight games, which is just a shade below the giveaway pace he had last year as a rookie. Idzik on Monday declined to say whether Smith would play again this season. But it's rather telling that even his teammates are no longer speaking up to defend his play.
