Speaker 1 (00:15):
Houshman Zanna.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
I'm just bringing the viewers into how grown men in
the locker room, Like I don't playing with some dudes
that you disrespect them anyway, it didn't matter who it
was they was putting hands on you and Blaxic Co Birth,
they are the same person, the same exact quarterback.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
It's a show with three and the best to ever
do it on and off the field and no Live
from the Fox Sports Radio studios. Here's pro bowlers lavarary
Tet and TJ houshman Zanna.

Speaker 4 (00:50):
All right, all right, welcome into the show. It is
another edition of Up on Game that my guy panteam
Man we call them, you know, protects the airwaves and
the airwaves, you.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
Know of everything that's going on with it's good hair.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
We got t J. Hutchman Zada.

Speaker 4 (01:06):
Stretched Armstrong is on location with young Elijah, the budding
superstar to be in the wings at Notre Dame.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
So he won't be with us today, but We're gonna
carry it. TJ. What you got going on, man, how
you feeling, man?

Speaker 3 (01:23):
You know, feeling good. It is not exactly clearest, guys,
but you know, speaking it's peaking a little bit high
school football out here. Oh man, it's.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Just how's your season going. We're doing pretty good.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
Man. We lost our first game. I told you about
seven and three. We had two touchdowns called back with
some incompetent guys that called the game. Since then, we've
been on the road, man, smacking everybody. Modern Day took
their first loss last night, which I'm sure is gonna
shake up the California rankings, the national rankings. Or they
was down twenty eight zero, storm back to take the lead,

(01:58):
and then normally, when like two guys have possession, who
normally gets the ball the offense the offense, right, so
Modern Day's down six points, they just throw quarterback just
threw the ball up, receiver catches the ball, the receivers
actually on his back, and they give the interception to
the other team. And that's how that's how they end

(02:19):
up losing the game. But yeah, man, everything is great. Man,
can't complain. Well, I feel like that's.

Speaker 4 (02:25):
A great segue because you mentioned competence, so you said
incompetence and the.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
Call that was made.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
By the referees, and then you you mentioned just just
gave it away. And those are two things that are
resonating with me because well, we'll talk Jerry Jones the
next segment, but for now, let's talk about Thursday Night
game TJ. Look, Micah is a difference maker, He's a

(02:53):
game wrecord. There should be no surprise as to what
people are seeing in the in the micaeh Park is
effect and impact on Green Bay. But let's be clear here,
Jordan Love might he might be the front runner for
League MVP right now after that performance. And this team
looks pretty good. How good are they? TJ?

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Beston NFC, best in league?

Speaker 3 (03:16):
Be like? How good? Overhype? Is it too early to say?
What are you feeling? No, not at all. Once Michael
Parsons got traded, the dynamic of power and the NFC
shifted from me and I said this last Saturday, the
Green Bay Packers are going to represent the NFC out
the Super Bowl unless they just have some major injuries.

(03:37):
You know, Jane Reed gets hurt, one of their starting receivers,
one of the best young receivers in football, no big deal.
The Packers have so much depth, it's not a big deal.
It's waldoffa Dug's back when it's the Packers. But I
truly believe that green Bay Packers will represent the NFC
in a Super BOWSA won't beat Eagles the team that
can compete with them in my opinion right now, and

(03:59):
they didn't play well a week one was the Los
Angeles Rams. MH. They have the depth up front to
kind of make things uneasy for green Bay. But with
those pass rushers that Michael Parsons is playing with now
and for Sean Gary and Lucas van Netz, if they
get out in the lead, what are you going to do?

Speaker 2 (04:20):
This is a passively time.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
Everybody, for the most part, spending a quarterback big money.
When you pay your quarterback big money, you're not paying
a big money to turn around and hand the ball off,
That's right. You're paying them big money so you can
throw the ball. Throw the ball with caution when you're
playing the green Bay Packers. And so for me, and
I said this last Saturday, I believe the green Bay

(04:42):
Packers are going to the Super Bowl. They are that
talented at every position when you look at them that
the weakness may be the secondary, but when you have
Michael Parsons putting pressure on you at two point two
seconds makes secondary better. That's crazy. Why you think Deron
Bland and Diggs getting all those interceptions? Why why can't
they sit on routes because you have the pressure up front.

(05:07):
And so I just believe the Packers can beat you
running the ball with Josh Jakers, they can beat you
passing the ball with Jordan Love and all those receivers
they have, and then if they get a lead, good
luck blocking them.

Speaker 4 (05:18):
Yeah, it seems like it's a great It's been a
great marriage between him and Mike. I felt like in
week one with them, he was trying to find his way.
He looked like, you know, he was uncomfortable. He just
he hadn't fully acclimated and Green Bay, you know, the
unit hadn't fully acclimated to him. They look much much

(05:39):
more cohesive, much more like natural this last game, and
it was pretty scary.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
Man.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
The thing, the thing that really jumps out at me,
and I know a lot of people have talked about
it at length, but I'll just echo it and continue
to say what I've been saying about it is the
fact that you can generate pressure with three and four
man fronts and you actually are using two to three
guys anyway to block the guys that you're going to
send on those three to four man fronts.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
And coming into the game.

Speaker 4 (06:10):
With Washington, I felt as though because they had a
nice running attack with the balance of the RPO with
Jaydon Daniels and company said what happened to usin Eckler
in the game blowing his achilles sending. But you have
that dynamic of that run option to pass. It makes

(06:30):
it very difficult to defend against a quarterback that can
pull it and run just as fast as anybody else
out there. That to me as a defender is the
biggest complication. But when you have a defense where the
guys are just as athletic and just as fast as
the most athletic guys in that backfield, what you saw

(06:52):
was a neutralizing of a very gifted and talented quarterback,
and it limited him so much that it started to
close down down the Washington offense. It didn't give them
the opportunity to open it up and give it some
breath and try some things.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
TJ.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
It closed it down.

Speaker 4 (07:11):
Because those guys were able, the backers were able to
stay back in coverage sit there in that zone. So
now they're splitting the difference between a pass route and
the quarterback running, So you're limiting the quarterback to a
two to three yard game, or you're in position to
make it hard for him to pass the ball and
pass defense what's taking place or easy catch and tackle.

(07:33):
So to me, I felt like the balance of what
they had on that defense because they're able to drop
so many guys into coverage but be able to pressure
when they are not in run situations. If you cannot
establish the run against Green Bay, you're probably going to
be in trouble TJ.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
And to me, that's your only chance. That's your only
chance because now you get those three pass rush and Rashi, Gary,
Micah Parsons and Louis they all three won't be on
the field at the same time. That, to me, is
the only chance you have of making it uncomfortable on

(08:13):
the Green Bay Packers. Now we know they're not gonna
go undefeated, they're gonna lose some games, and everybody, oh
my shield, they're not that good. But the Commanders are
a really good football team, good football team. That's two
good teams they've beat. Dude, the Commanders couldn't do anything.
No against that Packers defense, they made Jane Daniels look

(08:35):
like he wasn't as great as he's going to be. Like,
they couldn't do anything. And so defensively, it's like, and
you talk about the defense and what what Hatley is.
Dude is a head coach at Boston College, and he says,
you know what I'm leaving. I'm gonna take a step

(08:56):
back so that I can take five steps forward. You're
a head coach of a major college football program and
you leave to be the defensive coordinator for the Green
Bay Packers. He gonna be a head coach either the
next cycle or thereafter. So within two years, he's gonna
be ahead of that defense. Man. They get rid of

(09:19):
jyr Alexander, they're better on defense. They have such a
young team that this isn't just a one or two
year thing. This is sustainable. All their best players are
under thirty. This is sustainable. And so yeah, do you
want to run the ball? And that's what makes playing
the Philadelphia Eagles, it will make it a great game

(09:42):
because Eagles, we know can run the ball, and I
believe with the Packers athleticism on that defensive front. They
may not have the size and the strength, but the athleticism.
You know this from playing down there. I give you
a little move, you lunchon, and you right boy him
in the backfield now on a run play. And so

(10:03):
I don't have to fight strength with strength. I'm gonna
use my quickness against your strength. Let's see how that
matches up. And so a lot of that on green
Bay defense. I really like what the Packers have done.
I'm sure everybody is saying thank you very much, Jerry Jones.
I don't care what anybody says on television. I don't
care what anybody's putting on the Internet or on social media.

(10:27):
The green Bay Packers won this trade. No way do
you give up two late first round picks and Kenny
Clark for Michael Parsons. There's no way. You just don't
do it. No, they did it, and green Bay I
don't know if they would have looked this way without them,
but damn they look so good on both sides of

(10:49):
the ball. Man. Again, it's hard for me to imagine
them not going to the super Bowl if they don't
and a team that beats in that team is a
very very strong team. He is.

Speaker 4 (11:01):
He is a that much of an impact player where
he's made their defense better, Like there's no doubt about
it that they're better because they had better matchups. If
you got to choose between Block and Rashaan Gary and
Michael Parsons to begin with, you're already down for lineman,

(11:22):
You're down four, you're down for linemen, possibly a tight end,
possibly a running back with just two players TJ just
two players. Now you take away Michael Parsons, then you
got to cut that back in half.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
And that, to me is the simple.

Speaker 4 (11:36):
Mathematics of why Michael Parsons is a difference maker for
this team. There was not another guy that commanded. And
no disrespect to the guy they sent it to, Dallas.
I know he's consummate professional, great leader, can play good
run stuffer, but there was not a presence along that
defensive front. I mean, they had a little bit of

(11:57):
it when they had Smith Zadarias. Smith gave that element
and I like that element there, but this one with
Gary and Micah Parsons, you're talking about six to seven
players that have to take on those two. You look
at those odds and they're always going to be in
favor of the team that has those type of matchup

(12:18):
situations taking place and the attention being given to a
guy up front. We're not talking about linebackers where it's
some time to think about it, some time to operate,
do some misdirection, different things like that, or the secondary.

Speaker 3 (12:31):
You got a ball hawk back there, da da da that.

Speaker 4 (12:34):
Now, if you got a game plan for somebody who's
on the on the line of scrimmage and multiple ones,
those are the guys that you know have the biggest advantage.
But it'll be interesting to see how that all plays out.
Because well, transitioning from such positive talk about uh, the
Green Bay Packers, it now changes back to well, Jerry

(12:54):
has some interesting things to say about the trade.

Speaker 3 (12:57):
Seems like he doubled down on it. TJ.

Speaker 4 (12:59):
We're gonna have that sound and we're gonna talk about
the mic up Parson effect on Dallas and what Dallas
has got going on. All right, we're gonna get back
to that up on game. This is Fox Sports Radio.
We'll be right back. Think about this.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
Guys.

Speaker 4 (13:15):
Your season, your shot, the NFL season is rolling. We've

(13:36):
time TD props, you know, you get that thrill of
the live end game experience of betting. Every snap is
loaded with opportunity, you know what. I'm looking at the
Bills minus six point five against the Jets. Feel like
that's a good one, you know what I mean. I
feel like the Bills will actually cover that six point

(13:57):
five point total, So you know, I feel good to me.
I also was looking at the Rams and the Titans.
The Rams are going to travel to the Titans to
play against them. They're out of minus five point five. Well,
if my man Matthew Stafford back is holding up, I'm
saying they're gonna cover that that five point five. I
would go with the Rams on that one. Those ones

(14:19):

(17:00):
forty nine ers. Yeah, going going into New Orleans. That's
that's an interesting conversation there. But first, TJ, your boy
Jerry Jones. You know, after all the conversation that we're
having about the Michael Parson effect and the impact, I
think it's safe to say we could see that there
was an impact and a void left with Dallas as well.

(17:22):
Looking at the way they played. They don't look bad
on offense, but they just don't seem like the same
type of defense in my estimation. But hey, Jerry Jones
had this to say about it, TJ, and I'm interested
to hear your comments on it.

Speaker 6 (17:37):
As opposed to herschel Walker, which was to basically get
the graph picks and was deal divide it up very carefully.
The others don't get because there's a there's a pool
of dollars and so you've got to divide it up
very carefully. And that's that is the art of the deal.

(17:58):
So this as opposed to herschel Walker, which was to
basically get the draft picks and was basically a recognition
that we will compete.

Speaker 3 (18:07):
On another day.

Speaker 6 (18:08):
This was not that. This was a very conscious trade
to get three, four, five six players for one, which
wire we better off the one player outstanding. He's an
outstanding player, but we should be able to get As
a matter of fact, we've got one on the field.
And of course people say, but he's no Micah. Well,

(18:30):
I'm not going to debate that at all because Micah
is very very special. But I'll tell you this right now.
By the time this happens, and as we look forward
to Dak's time when we made his contract and we
look forward, this was the best way to maximize our
chance to get a Super.

Speaker 3 (18:48):
Bowl for Dak.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
Here's my question for that, TJ.

Speaker 4 (18:52):
How much time is it how much time is it
fear to give Jerry Jones on turning a residual on
this trade?

Speaker 3 (19:03):
And what is that? Is it a super Bowl? Is
it they are a Super.

Speaker 4 (19:08):
Bowl contending team that makes it to the Divisional Championship round?
What is a win and how quickly does it have
to happen for Jerry Jones not to sound like what
most people are probably thinking.

Speaker 3 (19:21):
He sounds like for me. You you the draft picks
will be next year. One of the first round picks
they have will be next year. Another first round pick
would be the following year. So they make it fair
five years, five years, and I'm gonna just go out
on the lemon and say, neither one of those picks

(19:43):
that you've acquired will be Michael Parsons, I'm gonna just
go out on the limb and say that will all
of them together, whether it's an offensive lineman, what it's
two first round picks and Kenny Clark, Yeah, it's not
six draft picks. The herschel Walker was the entire draft
class to the Vikings for hershe Walker, and so that

(20:04):
that helped the Cowboys. Yeah. Herschel Walker was a running back.
If your offensive line isn't blacking, well, I don't care
who you're running back is, you're doing nothing. And so
Michael Parsons, you got to block him with two guys us.
He gonna wreck your passing game. He gonna wreck it.
He gonna have your quarterback under mental pressure. Forget the

(20:26):
physical pressure. It's the mental pressure when you know Michael
Parson is beating this guy faster. Now you're playing faster
than you want to play, and you may have time
on this snap, but that mental pressure that he's putting
on you, you get to plan a little too fast.
And so I'm gonna go out on them and say, no,

(20:46):
those pigs. But what else is he supposed to say? Yeah, man,
we traded Michael Parsons. It wasn't a great deal, but
you know, we did what we felt was best for
the team. But yeah, well the Green Bay Packers got
the best of this deal. And you know what else
is he gonna say? That's what he's supposed to say.
And he knows he's not. He doesn't believe it. He
doesn't believe it, and so he's supposed to stay in

(21:09):
that to the fans of the Dallas Cowboys because they're
delusional and they and some are gonna believe that. Yeah, yeah, see,
that's exactly what I've been saying, told Joe. These draft picks,
no who.

Speaker 4 (21:22):
Trade trying to say six all of them together, all
of these draft picks that they've they've accumulated, and all that,
you know, equity is going.

Speaker 3 (21:32):
The Packers six picks. Were talking about what you received
from the Green Bay Packers for Micah Parsons. We're not
talking about all the first round picks you have in
the next year. That has nothing to do with the
Green Bay Packers. They gave you two, not six. And
see that's what he's trying to do. I was born
a I was born at night, but it wasn't last night. Yeah,

(21:53):
it was last night. That is hilarious. And so and
aren't the Cowboys on Ah When you're paying Dak Prescott
top of the line quarterback money by a wide margin,
aren't you gonna win? Now? Mode? I didn't know it
was five years dott Road, it is now right, That's
what I thought.

Speaker 4 (22:15):
I feel like when you when you do what he did,
it comes across as you are looking at what you're
going to be in the future. And I found it
to be interesting because he mentioned Dak and he mentioned.

Speaker 3 (22:30):
The the big deal that he did with Dak.

Speaker 4 (22:33):
And but yet you're looking at the situation with Micah
differently like you did the same thing. You had the
same thing going on with Cede Lamb. Why didn't you
take that that stance with I mean, if I'm being honest.
I would have took that stance with Dak Prescott, not
Michaeh Parsons. I agree, when would we like you paid
Dak Prescott franchise elite new money quarterback guarantees money contract,

(23:02):
and we will never mention Dak Prescott as one of
the most elite quarterbacks at his position currently, not ever,
currently we want to do that.

Speaker 3 (23:16):
I like that that can play, but the quarterbacks in
the league while he's playing, ever, ever, and that can play.
That Dak takes a lot of slack man because of
his contract, and that's not his fault. His representation. His
representation got him a great deal, and Dak is a

(23:37):
good player. I don't even have nothing. I have nothing
against Dak at all, not at all.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
If we're purely.

Speaker 4 (23:44):
Looking at this from the standpoint of who makes your team.

Speaker 3 (23:48):
The best, who the best quarterbacks? You're not getting a
Dak Prescott. That's the problem. The league is full of
really really good quarterbacks, yes, but when you talk the
best quarterbacks, you're not saying his name. But when you
talk about quarterback pay, his name is first.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
So that's the problem.

Speaker 4 (24:08):
Why would you not take that stance with him? You
see what I'm saying, Like, Okay, we can get that many.
We could get two first rounders for him. We can
dae d to die, this, that and the other, and
we can set ourselves up for the future. And we
you know, you end up with Mike, you had Michael Parsons,
you end up.

Speaker 3 (24:24):
With Cedee Lamb.

Speaker 4 (24:25):
You end up with a whole bunch of different players
if you make that deal.

Speaker 3 (24:28):
And you know what else is crazy is they throw around. Yeah. Man,
he wasn't well liked in the locker room. Guys was
tired of his podcasting and uh, just all the extra
curricular things he was doing outside of football. Like, bro,
they lucky we on the radio because it's like, who

(24:50):
is on a team with somebody that they don't get
along with. I've never had a problem with one of
my teammates, and if I did have a problem, I'm
going to go address them, address him, and I'm gonna say, Bro,
this podcast you're doing is causing a distraction. Can you
pull back a little bit? He may say no, but
I'm gonna let him know. But I'm gonna let him
in a respectful way because we all men, sure, and

(25:13):
so for people to oh yeah, he he was dividing
the locker room. Who's in that locker room that if
you feel like it's dividing you and you're a leader
and speak up, say something to him. What's the problem
like doing a podcast? That's bad? But y'all gonna go
drink and smoke every day? Right that that ain't worse? Right?

(25:36):
That ain't worse? Y'all? Man, I play with dudes, drink
every single night, get up early in the morning like,
ain't no problem, and go get in the sign of
the steamroom. What's worse doing a podcast or doing that
every night out all three four o'clock in the morning,
get no sleep and ain't go to practice? What's worse for?
Come on? I know how I go? So which one?

(25:56):
You know how I go? So which one is worse?
Which one is worse? For the locker room? Oh? Eight
nine of y'all going to do all of that. But
Michael just doing a podcast for eight nine of y'all. Now,
y'all gonna gang up on Michael for doing a pocket
It's just little things like that because guys like up
that that has played. We know what guys are doing,
we know, and so this is a way to make

(26:19):
Michael look bad and hit his fit in the Cowboys
locker room. But on the field, Michael Parsons was a
dog and one of the top dog. Hey you know
that a little hey, you know that little little dog
on social media? Little white dog. I don't know if
you've seen it, checking all them dogs, that's Michael Parsons walking.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
How big they are they he'd be checking.

Speaker 3 (26:48):
That's Michael Parsons in the locker room. Is everybody else
the rest of the dogs that they don't like you? They
don't like you because he top dog? And how is
he the top dog? Like he don't look like he
should be, but he years. They got them catch tucky
details in the locker room.

Speaker 4 (27:04):
I feel like, honestly, you can't make sense of it
football wise. And I just gave you guys an example,
a clear example, and not to make you know, sacrificial lamb,
but that's just an easy comparison there and saying that
if that's your thought process and you had the opportunity
rather than give out a big, big contract like you

(27:28):
did with Dak, then you should have did it with.

Speaker 3 (27:29):
Dak Prescott, not with Mikerol Parsons.

Speaker 4 (27:31):
But I think it has to do with the representation
and and honestly speaking, I think the fact that David
Mullagatta has moved the bar up in terms of what
players are are expected to receive and what they they
realize is their new worth and value, I think that
that's rubbed Jerry Jones the wrong way.

Speaker 3 (27:52):
And Jerry Jones was proven more point to that it
did a big one on this one, didn't he Yes,
he did. He.

Speaker 4 (28:00):
Hey, look, I'll tell anybody, I don't really I don't
know him, but I just don't. I just I don't
know anyway, But the dude does some contracts. Regardless of
what you feel about him personally or whatever it may be,
the dude does some contracts DJ and he don't miss
on that. And I feel like I feel like the

(28:20):
way Jerry Jones came out and gave Michael Parsons his
proper City's one of the most intelligent guys he's ever
been around. That a die sa on and so forth,
so many great things to say about him, and yet
a crowd favorite, a fan favorite, a proven entity as
a megastar, not just even a superstar.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
Michael Parsons is a megastar.

Speaker 4 (28:42):
You don't get that on defense often, and you don't
get a guy that can impact the game outside of
Reggie White and Lawrence Taylor that can impact it the
way he has since he's been in the league. You
just don't let them go. It had to be more
of a personal feeling, and I think that personal feeling
TJ was David Mullaghetta and he didn't want to be
the one that guy got by Dave Mullagetta to do

(29:06):
a big contract like he did with Green Bay, and
it sacrificed Michael Parsons. That's what I think. But hey,
who knows. All I know is Jerry, you're Dallas Cowboy.
Y'all in trouble this year, probably next year or two,
and Green Bay y'all looking like y'all gonna go get
a Super Bowl. But we'll see how it all plays out.
Let's take a break. Let's start, not a break, Let's
take a quick update. Break is what we'll say. We

(29:27):
got a lot of stuff going on. Oh no, we
have no bottom. All right, let's you know what we're
gonna do. Let's transition into talking about the forty nine ers.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
I mentioned it.

Speaker 4 (29:36):
Let's pay off the tea's Rock Purdy he's out. Mac
Jones he's in. He gets to start against the New
Orleans Saints. They're going into New Orleans TJ And I
gotta tell you, you got your tight end out and Kittle
he's on ir that's bad. And you got your your

(29:57):
starting quarterback he's out. I wasn't high on this team,
and I think I've sit it on this show. I
know I've sait it on Two Pros and Cup of Joe.
I'm not high on them coming into the season. I
think that they have hit their peak. I felt as
though they didn't go forward, they might even went backwards
this offseason.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
There's no reason to me to believe.

Speaker 4 (30:19):
Why all of the prognosticators were saying that this is
a Super Bowl contending team. I don't feel like they're
even a playoff contending team. But what's your take on it?

Speaker 3 (30:30):
The forty nine ers, they gonna be there, they gonna
be there? Would Brock Party out, George Kiddle out? Obviously,
it makes sayings a lot harder. They play the New
Orleans Saints, the New Orleans Saints and many many people's mind,
may be the worst team in the league right now,

(30:52):
or one of the worst teams in the league, and
so couldn't have picked a better time to go down
If you are going to go down, that's number one.
Number two is I'm kind of interested, bro to see
how this will play.

Speaker 2 (31:05):
Out because mac Jones might.

Speaker 3 (31:07):
Because of mac Jones. I'm not saying no, no, no, no,
I'm not saying I'm not gonna disrespect Rock Party like that,
because I believe Rock Purty is a good quarterback. But
what's interesting for me is this. Many thought they wanted
and should have drafted mac Jones over Trey Lance. So
when they gave up all those picks, everybody said, oh,

(31:27):
they're going to go get a boy for Obama, who
is mac Jones. They end up drafting Trey Lance. And
some say Kyle Shanahan wanted mac Jones. Well, he was
somewhat overruled by the rest and they drafted Trey Lance.
So now we're gonna see how would have mac Jones
played in Kyle Shanahan's system, and if he plays well,

(31:53):
and say Rock Party misses three games and he goes
three to zero because of Rock Party's contract, he's going
to be put back in the game as a court
as a starting quarterback. But it's gonna be interesting to
see if Shanahan starts to have second thoughts, because if

(32:14):
you start winning games without George Kittle and without Brock Party,
you you're looking at it like, huh, this dude just
got here and the next The thing about it is,
do you put any credit to the games because you
play the Saints, I believe, the Cardinals and the Jacks.

(32:34):
I looked it up yesterday. Those are your next three games.
Would you say those three games are tough? You know?
Or he deserves it from playing those three games. And
so that's the thing is, you don't know. App if
Party misses four games, now you start getting into it
because you got the Rams and the Bucks right after that,

(32:55):
two really good defensive teams. So I'm just eager to
see how he plays in Mike Shanahan's system. Considering many
thought coming out of Bama that they were going to
draft them.

Speaker 4 (33:08):
I picked I picked New Orleans to beat them.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
I think I think you know, they defense intact right,
you know, they still got big guys.

Speaker 4 (33:19):
I think they're I think they're vulnerable, and I don't
think they're that good. And New Orleans is while they
may not be the best of teams, they do have
some players. The question is, with the pressure that's mounting
on Spencer Rattler, can he respond? And if I were
to say, what would be the perfect game to be

(33:42):
able to have a you know, a strong a strong
statement to a TJ would be against a team that
people think are good but probably better than what.

Speaker 3 (33:51):
They really are.

Speaker 4 (33:53):
Right Like, let's be clear here, if we're looking at
this forty nine ers team as a team that could
possibly contend, I still contend with the guys out that
are out and saying that New Orleans is the team
that you would want to play against in this time,
then I'm New Orleans and I'm saying that we got
nothing to lose, everything to gain, and maybe they're the

(34:14):
perfect team for us, because I don't think they're as
good as people may think they are.

Speaker 3 (34:18):
I don't know, it just seems like it's it.

Speaker 4 (34:21):
I got New Orleans winning on Sunday, and I could
be totally wrong. I'd rather be proven wrong right now
because I don't feel confident in what what the forty
nine ers are bringing this year.

Speaker 3 (34:32):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (34:33):
It sounded like a downer, but I'm just keeping it real.
I'm just shooting from the.

Speaker 3 (34:36):
Hippip I just I just feel like Shanahan is such
a good coach. I mean, he's pretty much shown us
he can win with almost any quarterback that's competent. He's
shown us this, and so that's a respect thing that
they've earned, and he's earned us good last year though
they weren't very good. But Christian McCaffrey was hurt, Kittle
missed some games, goes down, Yeah, Williams missed some games, yep.

(35:02):
And so I agree, it's hard when you have your
best players not available.

Speaker 4 (35:08):
You only can do so much as a coach. I'm
a skeptic. I'm not as upbeat uptick on them as
you are. But hey man, we're gonna see how it
plays out tomorrow. That's the beauty of all of this.
We could get on here and talk all the stuff.
We're gonna talk. It's gonna play out on Sunday. We're
gonna find out. We don't even have to worry. We
don't even have to wonder. It's gonna play out tomorrow, y'all.

(35:31):
This is up on game.

Speaker 3 (35:32):
That's t J.

Speaker 4 (35:33):
Hutchman's out of stretches, is out watching Elijah warm up.

Speaker 2 (35:37):
As I'm trying to get the warm up too at
some point.

Speaker 4 (35:40):
Yeah, and we got TJ. Hutchman's out and we got
myself of our Arrington here. We will be back and
well we're gonna talk a little Tyreek Hill on the
other side of the break up on game Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
We shall be right back, all right, guys.

Speaker 4 (35:55):

Speaker 3 (36:23):
This week, I'm looking at some games.

Speaker 4 (36:25):
You know what I talked about the Rams, Well they're
they're they're at minus five and a half with the Titans.
They got to go to Tennessee, their favorite to win.
I believe that they will cover that five five and
a half that that they're giving Tennessee Jacksonville. This is
an interesting one. They're going into into Cincinnati. They're gonna

(36:48):
play against the Bengals. The Bengals at minus three and
a half.

Speaker 3 (36:54):
E.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
I like the Bengals in this one.

Speaker 4 (36:57):
I'm telling you, I like the Bengals to cover that
that number right there. So those are a couple that
I'm looking at this week. I got a few that
I feel really bullish on that I really believe that
I can get it done and win me some of
that Draft King money.

All right, welcome back into the show. It's up point games.

Speaker 4 (38:33):
T J Husmazadam LeVar Errington Eh Hour two is coming
at you. We'll be talking Eagles Chiefs. That's a big
Super Bowl rematch game. Curious to hear what TJ has
to say about that. But first, before we do that,
let's talk about Tyreek hill Man. He he came out
in his uh I guess what is it?

Speaker 3 (38:53):
Bow?

Speaker 4 (38:54):
Did he write an article? Did he do an interview,
his own interview with how did this all go down?
All right, all right, no worries, I believe. Well, I
want to confirm it from both in terms of I
think it was an article from him and well, anyways,

(39:14):
it was focusing in on football and not the abuse allegations.
And I'm not sure what the source was. We'll get
the source source coming, Go ahead, go ahead, give me
the quote both.

Speaker 3 (39:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (39:24):
So Tyreek Hill was an interviewed in Miami, you know,
doing his press conference. He said, I don't really pay
attention to any of that when asked about being traded.
I feel like, to me, noise is good versus his opportunity.
I look at it like that he's not really wanting
to talk about these allegations. He wants to keep the
focus on the field in Miami.

Speaker 4 (39:43):
Okay, So there you go. So TJ, you played in
the game a long time. You know a lot of dudes,
a lot of dudes respect you, come to you for
advice and guidance from time to time. What would your
advice be to Tyreek Hill right now? I mean it's
easy to say, you know, this is what I'm focused
in on, and I don't I don't want to talk.

Speaker 3 (40:03):
About these things.

Speaker 4 (40:03):
But the reality of it is is that, well, the
allegations do exist, and that is a thing. And right now,
right out of the gate, it didn't seem as though
he's content and happy with how things are are playing
out right now, what would what would your.

Speaker 3 (40:20):
Advice to him, be LeVar when you when you're talking
and what We've talked about this, uh numerous times, the
allegations that that is ex wife put out there. Man,
I have zero tolerance for that, and I've said it.

(40:42):
I have three daughters. My dog on the other end
has three daughters. Mm hmm. And you can't touch my kids, bro,
and think you're gonna have enough time to do an
interview the next day. You just know you think he
did it. I'm not saying he did or he didn't

(41:05):
do I don't know. I hope he didn't do it,
but I would hope the mother of his children he
wouldn't put that out there publicly. They have kids together.
We may not be together, but we are always together
because we have to raise the child together. No doubt.
That's my problem. And I don't know if you know this,
you know her brother ken't EVACRL he played in the league.

(41:28):
I don't know if you know that. I did not
know that. So she has a brother, Kenny Vacarl went
to University of Texas. It was a safety. That's her
older brother. Okay, he played in the league and so
and I don't know him at all, I've never met him.
But you could quite possibly be putting your brother in
a situation where he got to do something and if

(41:53):
he did it, he got to pay the consequences for that.
Like you cannot put your hands on a woman. You
can't do it. Now, that's off the field. On the field,
Tyrek Hill just got to focus on football and being
the best player that can be. I feel like that
he's the Dolphins' most valuable asset. I believe he'll be
traded by the trade deadline. But you just can't do

(42:14):
these type of things, man. You can't because the court
of public opinion, many of many assume he's already guilty
and he may not be.

Speaker 4 (42:23):
M Well, we'll see how that all plays out. It's
interesting because it's like it's hard to say you'll block
out the noise when it's something that has to do
with you directly, You.

Speaker 3 (42:37):
Know what I mean.

Speaker 4 (42:38):
It's one thing when the media is making things up
and they're saying things and yeah, that's noise. Maybe they
don't believe in us. Okay, we'll block that noise out
and it's all about us. But when it's like a
self inflicted type of deal where something like that would
come out, I'm always on the side of air on
caution and consider innocent until proven otherwise. But man, those

(42:59):
are hard ones to come back from. So well, I
hope you can focus, and I hope it does work
out the way it's supposed to work out. This is
up one game. This Fox Sports Radio Hour two are
coming at you in a couple sex ins
