Davonte Adam. Let's go there.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Tell me so just posting these cryptic post on social media.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
And that's one of the downsides of social media to me,
is like we start to get these cryptic, weird innu
window subliminal messages like I'm just from that.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
I would prefer you to list straight say it.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
I prefer him to post and make a post that says, hey, look,
at the end of the day, it's a business, you know,
on their end, in my end, and I'm ready to
you know, move on, or just not post or put
a put a freaking Saints logo up there and like say,
all right, this is where I want to go. But
the cryptic things, the if you're Antonio Pierce liking a post,
but they're not admitting you liked it or not.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
I'm just focused on the next game. We're focused on
Denver or whatever it was.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Like, man, sometimes you got to say it with your
chest and I like that. And one of my favorite
athletes of all time is Lebron James.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
You know how I feel about them.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
But even la Lebron drives me crazy with his passive
aggressive doesn't too. We're like, he'll just at or maybe
the media has some narrative. He'll just post a weird
picture of a cartoon character, remember the one who is
it Arthur rob g Remember he had the fist Arthur's fists, Like, okay,
is he watching it with his daughter, who.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Was really young at the time. Is he meaning something
by this? Is he?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
But is it a black power fist? Like I don't
know what this means? Lebron you know, like and it
just drives me crazy. How now social media you can
do like the whole Oh I didn't say that, I
didn't mean it, or what was your you Rob Parker
go to interview that, Hey we saw you posted this thing.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
What it exactly did it mean? Oh? I don't know,
I just pulled What do you think it means? I
don't like that.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Just say it with your chest or don't say it,
post it and post it, mean it, or you know,
say what you mean. But this whole cryptic DeVante Adams
posting a raven or Edgar Allen Poe who wrote The
raven and like, what does it mean? Is it poetry?
Are you saying it's poetic that I'm trying to go
to the Ravens? We're about to play the Ravens? Like,
I just don't like all of that.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Man.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
I think that's one of the few things, uh, one
of the several things actually, But that drives me crazy
about social media. It allows these players now to kind
of have.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
These weird cryptic posts and speaking subliminals.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
To me, that drives us crazy because then Robert Parker
or you know Rob Parker writes an article about it,
and they're like, no, that's not what I'm man, that's
not what I said to you. I don't know what
you posted a fist? What does that mean?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Post? You posted this?
Speaker 1 (03:21):
So I just just sometimes to me, just say it
or don't say it at all. If you know your
name is in the media right now, you know we're
having these conversations about you being traded, rumors are being traded,
rumors about this, or that.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
They just don't post.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
It's okay, it's okay to not post or post exactly
how you feel and say it.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
What's your chest? Just drives me crazy.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Yeah, but most guys they don't want to say with
their chest. They kind of want to hide behind it.
Just be honest, be upfront. I'm with you on that
all the way.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I don't mind them being on social media. I think
some of them do great stuff. It's good to get
some inside look behind the scenes. Wow, okay, this is
how he's living on a wild beautiful family.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Love it.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I get that, totally with it. Some of them had
great causes and great charities. They do a lot of
great posts on that. But the cryptic weird in the
middle of your naming and the media stuff, and you
just post a weird picture that leaves it up to
our interpretation. I don't think it does anyone's service, including yourself,
because again you allow then for us to run with
what that post means, what that picture means, what that
quote from your favorite person means. As suppose to you
(04:17):
actually saying it or saying nothing.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
You make a compelling argument. Hard to argue with that.
I'm with you.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
I want to switch here to football though, Yeah, and
football from this standpoint of what we've seen from Derrick
Henry with the we thought even when he got picked
up that that was what a great move, because you
remember we talked about the Ravens losing that AFC Championship game.
They didn't run the football. They went not away from
what they do right, and they went back to it
when they ran the football last year. I think they
(04:46):
only lost one game all year when they rushed over
twenty times in a game. That game, somehow they only
had six rushes from their running backs or something, four
or six Rushes, which was ridiculous. But anyway, Derrick Henry
and it's wait to see a back, a real workload,
workhorse kind of back in the NFL. I'm enjoying watching
(05:09):
them play one hundred percent, and I think it's gotten
away from it.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Right.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
It's a reminder, yo, you can have success and have
one singular back that's the feature back.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Not that they don't use other backs.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Lamar Jackson by alls and purposes, runs like a running back,
and you have others. But this is our hog. This
is our feature back. This is who we're giving the
ball to twenty to thirty times in his game. And
you'll see Sa Kwon Barkley and the Eagles, you know
when they lost, when they stopped giving him the ball. Enough,
give Sa Kwon Barkley the ball, you know, Christian McCaffrey
went healthy. Give them the ball, whether it's running, whether
(05:42):
it's passing. But as great Jonathan Taylor, the more Colts
having success, give Jonathan Taylor.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
They downgraded the position. They didn't want to pay anybody.
You remember we saw Danny Dimes get all that money
from the Giants, right.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Sae Kwon Barker gleat in their face.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
But he was the reason that made Danny Dion even
viable because worry about him and the back exactly. And
so I don't I didn't understand that how we got
away from it and just became like arena football, just
throwing the football every down and running backs are so important.
The other part is, you know, in in a game
this time and a place where you need a two
(06:19):
or three yard rush touchdown and you can't get it
because you don't have a running back. It makes the
difference between icing the game because you got the first
down and not a clock is eating up or not
being able to close out the game and having to
give the ball back to the other team and then
they come back down, kick a field goal, tide the
game or beat you.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
I mean, you look at the Kansas City Chiefs. What
makes them also effective, especially the last couple of years
of Pachenko, you know what I mean? As much as
we talk about Patrick Mahomes, Patrick mahonmes haven't be putting
up Patrick Mahome numbers that we're accustomed to, and Pochenco
has been, you know, one of their big staples in
that offense. You know, listen, I know we're not in
the Barry Sanders, Emmitt Smith, Thurman Thomas era where every
(07:00):
team's trying to have this amazing feature back. I think
I was telling ron G I think the last little
era of that, remember that was that like Laedanian Thomason,
Priest Holmes, Sean Alexander.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Maybe a little bit after that.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
You know, where you have this feature back who's getting
you twenty five, six, seven, eight touchdowns in a year.
But it's good to just see. And I love that
Derrick Henry, they're starting to put up his numbers. He's
a few yards away. I think he's like eleven or
twelve yards away from having ten thousand career yards, which
most of the guys in like ninety percent of them
who have that are in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
The other couple will be soon.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Adrian Peterson will be there shortly, and so you expect
Derek Henry being there too. And I just like the guy.
He's a workhorse. He does what he does and he
makes that team better. So you wonder if and you
know another team that's doing that, who arguably is the
best team in the entire NFC. The Lions, you are
getting ran, they are running it down. Every team's throw
(07:54):
weekend in a week out, and then they light you
up with the play action with Jared Goff after that.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
And then don't forget you hardball.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Now as a coach at NFCO, Dobbins doing what he's
healthy as well. But you are starting to see a
shift back to run in the football. So this year,
let me give you a number. This year, teams are
averaging four point five yards per carry, which is tied
for the best mark in the in NFL history.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Think about that.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
They're also rushing one hundred and twenty four point nine
rushing yards per game, which is the most since nineteen
eighty seven.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
So the running game is a back.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
And then too, they're using quarterback Jada Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen.
That's another big part of it. Jalen Hurts and I
think what they're also realizing too, and when you look
at the numbers of why passing is down, partly we
have these conversations just because they're also saying, wait, why
aren't we running more?
Speaker 2 (08:44):
If I got Jalen.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Hurts, let me just stop playing around and let Jalen Hurts, well,
I got Lamar Jackson. Let's not be cute against the
Chiefs and well, we'll do this and Hi, we'll trick
him then pack run. It's Lamar Jackson, Jayden Daniels as
I found a great way of doing that.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Kyler Murray's gotten back to doing that as well.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Justin Fields has found a really good balance of running
and passing.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
So you have this.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Ability to run with the running back with the quarterbacks,
and it just changes the game. And I think that's
why we're gonna see passing numbers be down. They're down
also because kams just teams are starting to get acclimated,
getting more reps. They're not doing they're not playing in preseason.
You got new players, Guys are injured, they're starting to
get healthy. You got new quarterbacks and new positions and
new offensive coordinators. I think the passing yards will pick
(09:27):
up some, but I don't think they'll get back to
those numbers we had, you know, the last six, seven,
eight years, because people a gonna run the ball more
and see it's effective and you.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Can run the ball players defense, I don't.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
I never could understand that, and I understand like some
of the talented passers in the league or whatever, but
still there's got to be a balance. You can't be
one dimensional. And I'm not talking about run the ball
every down? What was that Patriots game with Matt Jones?
Remember you only threw the ball what was it, rob
g three times? You remember that game? Like which was
they ran the ball every single Like watching like a
(10:00):
on me Navy game or something.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
I was like, and then you wonder why they're trying
to let Drake Ma sit. That's why they're trying to
Like Drake makes it. They're like, oh, you know what,
let's just let him sit back, relax and learn a
little bit. Let let him grow a little bit.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
But by the way, where is mac Jones? He calling
the game somewhere Jacksonville. I lost sight of him.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Oh that's just brutal. Could you wasn't he like his
first year?
Speaker 5 (10:22):
He was?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Yeah, he wasn't bad. You're like, all right, first year
was pretty Yeah, that's what I'm saying. All right, you
gotta put the copy on the Pro Bowl guys. I'm
not going next guy. I'm not going third guy. I'm
not going fourth guy.
Speaker 6 (10:33):
I go that's mad disrespectful for Snoop on Lee because
he had that in his wikipedies was off a good
quarterback and He's a Pro Bowl.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Quarterback, right, Matt Staffords the Pro Bowl quarterback one time? Whoa, whoa,
he's a Super Bowl winning quarterback. Let's start there. Remember
that pick rob g in the Super Bowl?
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Remember that pick he threw I dropped Where did he
throw it at?
Speaker 6 (10:54):
I mean Jikwaski tart Jaquasi dropped the pick in the
Nancy James game and was out of the league, never
been never days.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
I mean, that's.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Maybe that's why he wasn't that good. That's why he
dropped it in the first place. Dude, he ain't Mauntvin Butler.
You have watched that.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
You haven't watched that over?
Speaker 1 (11:10):
No, no, no, because of matt Because Matthew Stafford went
to the Super Bowl and won. Okay, how could you
watch him covering Detroit all those years and see that
we had a guy that the number one pick and
they were like, oh, you know you're gonna go to
Detroit And he was like, I embraced this. He didn't
eli Manning's your guy. He said, I'm going to Detroit.
I'm gonna help be a thing that transforms this.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Uh, this didn't win. A playoff came and got him
to the postseason show. We wasn't even getting the postseason.
We weren't even thinking about stif we were all in sixteen?
Can believe you hate on Matthew Stafford? You watched that
man grit through injuries. He's there's a few people I
can understand you hate. How can you hate on Matthew Stafford?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Likable guy, tough guy, talented. How you got you hate
on Matthew Stafford? Stat Patford? What I see the all time?
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Now nickname? Now you know what you know? We were
gonna uh have some other conversation. Maybe we should have
a conversation this next time.

All right, let's go to Derek. We all going to Derek.

Speaker 5 (14:36):
Hey, what's up? Brothers?

still keeping it moving.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Oh absolutely, Truple's not going anywhere, my man. We appreciate
you still riding with us.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Yoh yeah, oh yeah. But I love the resurgence of
the running game.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Man.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Today.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
They bought Derreck Henry Being for a purpose. The first
couple of games is like, they got this dude on ice.
I'm like, man, y'all brought him there to pound this
thing out. Let him feed that beast man, right, I.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Think they were trying to figure it out the first.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
Couple of weeks, right, they finally started feeding them, you know. Like,
and my man, I'm a Raiders fan. John Jacobs went
to the Green Bay. He's doing this thing. I'm just
glad to see that some running backs to come. I
come back. I go back to the Walter Payton, Barry
Sanders days. You know. I'm Tony door Set, frank O Harris.
(15:33):
I'm used to all that, man, I'm used to a
ground and pound type mentality that's going on, you know.
So I'm glad to see it.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Come back, no doubt.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
You know, hopefully it'll stay there.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
You know.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
I mean, granted, it is a passing game over the
last half of many years, but I'm glad to see
the resurgence. But like, one thing I will say is
that I think everything went down with Trent Richardson.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Oh yeah, he he wasn't Dereck Henry coming from Alabama.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Trent Richardson was called everything to go down. He'll as
far as saying the running back by.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
The way, Trent Richardson is just sitting at home straight
from Derek. Now, he just sitting at home, out of
his business and having a coke and a smile and
the Derrek but just took a shot at him.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Man, he's sitting there like, Hey, why me?
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eighty seven seven
nine on Fox we got.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Chili Tim in Atlanta. You're on the odd couple of
Fox sportuating what's up?
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Tim? Oh you, what's up? Bro?
Speaker 9 (16:30):
I'm good man. I told you I was gonna have
to do the phrase. I didn't even get myself excited. Man,
I knew what was gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
But what with the Braids, I know, yeah, I know,
I already know, and you know what, they weathered the storm.
You know you lose your best player and they had injuries.
It was amazing that they were even then all right,
you know what I mean that they made the playoffs,
no doubt.
Speaker 9 (16:53):
With the quarterbacks. I mean with the running backs. Here's
what I was thinking. There's a couple of things, right,
I didn't But what's happening in the resurgence. One of
the reasons for the resurgence is that they're exposing some
of these weaknesses of these quarterbacks. Like some of these quarterbacks,
you know that we were paying money given to I
think it is exposing them and I would and I
(17:14):
would like to see that skill go down, but we
know it won't. But it should indicate that some of
these quarterbacks aren't is good. You don't have the Peyton
Mans and.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
The Tom Brady's, Tom Brady Philip Rivers, that Ben Roethlisberg
and that era.
Speaker 9 (17:30):
Yeah, they don't have those. Those quarterbacks aren't like that anymore.
And I think what's happening is some of these guys
are getting exposed. But I fear that it's going to
go back to that once these younger ones start, you know,
getting game upon them. I'm fearing they're going to go
back away from it and starting to let these guys
throw the ball again.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
But I hope not.
Speaker 9 (17:50):
These guys deserve to get paid. And I think some
of these receivers, you know, take take the money away
from some of these quarterbacks and the receivers and give
it to some of these these running backs.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Should pay the player, not the position, and that's what
we've seen in the NFL. Yeah, I want to just
pay the quarterback position regardless. Like like Daniel Jones, like,
I can't say it enough. When they gave that contract,
we were like what he was even what his agent
called him. He was like, well me, right, are you sure?
Did you mean to call me on Saquon Barkley who
got the money?
Speaker 10 (18:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (18:21):
The issue with that, right is the next man up. Oh,
he's the next person. I think there's gonna be an
owner who's just not gonna care. I'm gonna say, look,
you are worth twenty five million. We think you're a
really really good quarterback, and that's a lot of money.
I'm not paying you fifty sixty forty five you know whatever.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Money.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Like how the Bucks did with Baker is absolutely perfect.
Baker's playing really well, he's playing great, and he's got
the proper.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
He's up next, and then see what you give him
if they don't win the Super Bowl. You gonna give
him sixty million. Can't get you sixty bro, But that's
what's life to you. You're nice.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
We want you for the next five to eight years,
but I can't pay you sixty minutes exactly.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Up all right, Travis in Michigan. You're on the couple
of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Travis?
Speaker 4 (18:59):
Man, You know, it's great to listen to this entire conversation.
I just got to say the grit and grid Iron's
coming back, you know, and it's in every division and
both conferences all the way around, and you got to
book up on a couple of people, man, But you
can't forget about Jon Robinson. Yeah, yeah, about Jerome Ford.
And if you look all the way across the board,
guys that ain't even getting many carries, there's still averaging
(19:22):
the number.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
Man. Brown got it.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Brown's got Ford in the backfield with four point six
yards and carry. You're seeing, uh, you know you're seeing
with the Seattle Seahawks. Man, Kenneth Walker the third I'm
a big MSU.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
So, man, this dude knows how to flip bold and
turn over and still keep running. That was one of
my favorite plays this last week on a Monday night. Man,
you can't beat a pilot like that, and it's you know,
you gotta you gotta give it to the entire league that.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
And you know what, we'll give you another one.
Speaker 9 (19:50):
Listen.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Jordan Mason, who's fourth in the league in Washington places
McCaffrey think about that.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
That's a great example, just like, hey, we're gonna commit,
you know, see is out. We're gonna commit to the run.
Appreciate Travis, Yeah, Appreciate the call. Travis Yeah. I mean
that's so what I did to the previous call I
think I think was Derek. If I'm not mistaken, he
mentioned he said, you know he worried that, you know
when once the quarter of the young group of quarterbacks.
But I think this young quarterback will only add to
(20:17):
that thread of like, oh shoot, Jayden Daniels can run
that pass and he's got a running back.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Like we're saying with Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
I think I think they're not gonna just get away
from I think they're gonna add that element of run
pass threat from a quarterback also having a stud running
back in the backfield as well.
Speaker 6 (20:34):
Here, the other thing, you guys, I'm talking about is
the reason why running is up a lot of reasons,
but one of them is they're so worried about these
quarterbacks now they're so further advanced than they ever been
in NFL history. Everybody's playing that same shell defense where
they saying, hey, we're gonna let you run the ball
and take six seven minute drives. We're not gonna let
you beat us with a forty yard pass and a
(20:54):
thirty yard pass touchdown. So we're gonna test your patience,
We're gonna test your play calling. To your point, the
younger quarterbacks of the reading this is happening because they
can do both. So they're like, hey, we'd rather you
take the time, be methodical than to just boom boom
booming to airstrike in exact forty seconds.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Right.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
But I also think I don't think these quarterbacks are
as good as they were, Like, who are the Remember
we used to at those quarterbacks like four or five
at a time, Brady Manning, breeze.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Fill the right.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
You just pencil it in four thousand yards thirty five touchdown,
you know, what I mean, like absolute beast. You know,
before Cincinnati, before you got hurt, Carson Palmer for about
four or five years of like flat out beast quarterbacks.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
And I don't feel like we have that right now,
where it's like, well, what we have now is the schemes.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
The schemes are so much better than they ever were
back then, where.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Manny being a scheme was his own, his scheme was
his vote. That was a lot to behold.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Getting to what is trending, Rob, I want to throw
something at you. Somebody who has proven you don't have
to be superman will get that at the moment.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
I actually was telling folks over at Spectrum today we're
at my other job about we were, Oh man, listen
to the show. You gotts sound great. But when we're
talking about that, and I say they were like I
told him about the game and how you had to
give Alex Garter Minshew Gardner and you said furniture.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
What was Alex supposed to do with that? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
He listens to the show, like Alex does a lot
of shows. Most of the other shows he doesn't listen to.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
But hes on another show. Which show would that be?
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Ron?
Speaker 11 (22:52):
Can you tell me? I think my memory is a
little job, but I know you listen to this show.
Oh of course, yes, you have a garden furniture.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
I didn't know. And that was a gardener white. That
was such a Detroit reference.
Speaker 11 (23:04):
If Rob does any reference that's past the nineties, I
have no idea.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
What are you saying? I'm him, I'm happening.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
You have a hip hopefully? First of all, you a
roll to you said, I'm happening. Did you know what
you're like? It's the Uh, it's the hip group. I'm
in the broken hip group.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Well I don't say that.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Well that was you one of the golden girls Cruise. Yes,
you're trying to break some hips out there. Let me
tell you something I don't want to know. It was awesome.
I bet it was you. Hey, I watched The Golden Golden.
I've seen the commercial for the Golden Bachelorette.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
I don't watch that.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Yeah, I don't either, but I know it's life after
fifty and sixty.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Hey, let me tell you something. Don't pooh pooh, don't
let that gray hair fool you. I'm trying to tell.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
You, and you know what I learned in a pinch.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Never mind, I forget it.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Let's yes, please, we want to keep Remember you said
you want to keep a job for a few years.
Shout out of Dion Cole, the comedian Dion Cale. I
just watched his special. Uh it was definitely graphic. I
mean that was pretty much he was. He was getting
in what says. But the point is he talks about
a vintage woman. That's his whole.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Like, the main point of this comedy special is about
vintage women coming to you live from the tyreck dot
com studios.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
This person, he's not necessarily vintage, but he's definitely a veteran. Oh,
you know, we got to show some love to Kirk Cousins.
Kirk Cousins is to me rob a reminder that listen,
everybody wants a Patrick mahomes right. Everybody wants that we
talked about earlier, Pat Peyton, Peyton Manning. You want that
absolute quarterback that's going to be the guy facing the
(24:31):
league for ten to fifteen years of Tom Brady. You
can't always have that in this current day of Patrick
Mahomes or Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
But there are thirty two teams. You can find the
top ten guy.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
You can find a guy that you can win with,
a guy that you can have a bunch of success with.
You don't have to worry about being in the tabloids,
don't have to worry about getting any trouble. A guy
that the locker room is going to like. And I
feel like Kirk Cousins has been that. And you go
back to Michigan State, they're like, oh hey, he's good.
But and he gets into the league second third round
I remember exactly. I think was third round. All right,
cool to see does his thing replace an RG three
(25:03):
in Washington, goes to Minnesota. Does his thing makes them
relevant again? And winning playoff games?
Speaker 2 (25:08):
You like that?
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Then he goes Atlanta and again they're three and two
right now in the three games they've won, it's him
getting them down there, marching them down for game winning
touchdowns or getting them in position for game winning field
goals coming off an injury. He's showing up. He's playing.
He's not saying, oh, I don't want to play right now,
don't feel good. I just like Kirk Cousins in that Listen.
He's not the sexiest. He's not gonna be the most
(25:32):
you know, hip or cool. You know, he just found
out what's wax surfing is. Came song came out in
like twenty ten.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
But nagat.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
I like Kirk cuz everybody can't be the top three,
four to five guid in the league, but you can
win a lot with him. He can put your positions
and getting the postseason and have a shot at winning
some games. So I just think it's you know, it's
a lot of money, and he's gonna end up making
a heck of a lot of money in his career.
But he keeps showing us, you're in, year out of
different teams, different stops, that the man is a is
a really good quarterback.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
The only problem is he had that terrible record in games.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Uh the so long ago, by the way time game
completely turned it around by and he's one and four
in the postseason. Averaging two hundred and ten yards a game,
and that's why he hadn't gotten the full credit. Like
I hear what you're saying. That's that's what people look at.
They go, okay, yeah, that's nice. And then you get
in the postseason and he's won in.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Four with those what's Aaron Rodgers in the play He
won a super Bowl? You can't come on, man, come on,
are we really gonna have that conversation.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
No, we're not, because I just it's Friday and I
don't feel like.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Arguing with you' still argue with me. Come on, the
guy won a super Bowl and hen super you know who.
My point is a lot of big quarterbacks. If we
look at the playoff record, I think we'd be shot.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
No. But but it was Dak Prescott. I get it.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
But you can't compare a guy who never who's won
one playoff game. The guy won a super Bowl and
the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
I moved on, I said, Dak Prescott. Dak Prescott, I
guess sixty million.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
I wouldn't have paid him sixty million dollars either, And
I think it's crazy, but that's what But that's what
Jerry Jones and.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Doing five barely better. And you know what if that's
a knock on him.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
That's why a lot of people don't have the ultimate
respect for Dak despite the numbers.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
He's like a Tony Romo.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Right, Tony Romoo number like during the regular season, but
in the postseason and they've he's had stinkers in the
postseason that been just like, oh, the defense was terrible.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
He's been him.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
He's been responsible for since green Bay last year when
they got boat raced or whatever what happened. He threw
like a couple of pigs set up the green Bay offense, right,
he was bad.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
You know I would to get back to his boat
race racing yachts out here in these streets. No, but
that's why I just said it a moment ago. Absolutely,
you're gonna start having some odors and some gmsing. Man,
I ain't paying that guy.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Good.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Look Trevor Lawrence, like you said, what's happening with Trevor Lawrence.
Trevor Lawrence is a solid quarterback. He's probably gonna play
another eight to ten years in this league.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Got the big deal.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
I can't keep paying these guys sixty forty fifty sixties.
Now it's gonna jump up to sixty five seventy million dollars.
Come on, man, dude, you know I'm gonna find me.
I'm gonna go find I mean a solid Jared Golf.
I mean he get a bunch of money, but you know,
before the money, like, let me go find a middling
guy who was good enough when I got I build
a team around him.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Who's my brock Party for four or five years.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
But that's not gonna work because I ain't paying that.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
You go, you need without a quarterback, you're dead in
the walk. So yeah, you are.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Because there's a bunch of teams who get to the
super Bowl without the top type of con.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
But you need. But you gotta have, like some extraordinary defense.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
I'm gonna build my team around them. I'm just saying.
They went to a super Bowl. Black went to Rex
Grossman went to a block trip. Dilfer went to a
super Bowl. Brock Party doesn't win in San Francisco. Everybody
not gonna be on that. Rian Johnson went to a
boy I can keep on going down his line, b
Brad Johnson. There's a bunch of quarterbacks who continues to
get the super Bowl?
Speaker 2 (28:45):
They had? Who was I or solid. That's it.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
They ain't all timers, no, but they had extraordinary defense.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
That get I'm building up a defense, building up a
running game. We just spent time talking about a running game.
I'm not paying no guy sixty five million dollars. What's
his name? Oh, it's not paid Manning. What's his name? Oh,
ain't Patrick Mahomes. It's about all right, y'all getting carried
away with these payments at some point. All right, rob
your own businesses, and if everybody keeps coming, well, you know, Rob,
you gotta pay the do you know?
Speaker 7 (29:12):
Ay?
Speaker 1 (29:13):
I ain't doing it. Dag John Lway running different broncos.
He goes, I'll pay me sixty million. Let me get
him down there, give me six months to get right,
and I'm gonna get down there and.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Throw this football because I gotta pay this guy bo Nicks.

bunch of money because he's he's the next guy paying him.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
I got you. It was shooking. You were shooking, was shucked.
I don't know and I don't know about what was is.
He keeps looking over the window. He's like he's waiting
for it to come down.
Speaker 6 (34:18):
Okay, all right, before we get to this week's NFL
pigs can pick off week five.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Got back at week four. Both of you guys three
and two. Very solid.
Speaker 6 (34:25):
However, Kelvin has a five game lead in the.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Standard chwl's he got a five game leader thirteen and seven,
verses eight and twelve.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
That's what I do, man, So I need to start
doing Chuckle City, but continue, all right.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
So let's get started.
Speaker 6 (34:37):
NFL base can pick off all these odds courtesy of
Lamar Mitchell.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Shout Lamar.
Speaker 6 (34:41):
You got to know Lamar bet MGM got these odds
earlier on Friday.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
So let's get to it.
Speaker 6 (34:46):
First game in Jolly London Town Jets at the Vikings
Vikings two and a half point, technically home favorites, k
dub you like, yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
Give me the Vikings. I think the defense is just
too much right now. Aaron Rodger and that team haven't
figured out the offense. They've been struggling. Now, if you'd
have told me DeVante Adams was on there, I'd be
with you.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
He's not so I'm.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Giving me, give me the Vikings to continue rolling.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
The Vikings will not be five and zero.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
This is where you get fooled into believe in you're
watching something special. They will lose and this will be
the game that the Jets turned around and it'll be
against the Vikings.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
All right.
Speaker 6 (35:20):
Game number two were talking about it all evening long.
Lamar Jackson, Derek Henry, Baltimore Ravens two and a half
point road favorites in Cincinnati against the Bengals.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Rob Parker, who do you like?
Speaker 3 (35:30):
I'm all over the Ravens on this one, and Sean
King was on earlier. He talked about it. The Bengals
defense a mess, can't stop anything, and they won't be
able to stop Derek Henry or Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
And as a part of me that you know, subconsciously
do the players like, man, we already won in three,
but you know, you start giving up on the season
a little bit, you start to worry. I think it
will be a close game, but I do think the
Ravens cover. But I think it will be a close game.
Could be a Jefs Tuckerfield all right. Game number three
get pick off at MGM with the odds firs on
this one. The Stefan Diggs revenge game bills that Texans
(36:06):
artist shifted later this week. Texans now one point home favorites.
Kelviny like, this one is tough because you could convince
me I have the way. Both teams look good, but
they coming off some big losses. I'm gonna go with
the Texans. I think the defense keeps things in check,
and I think CD Shroud makes a player two to
win this thing.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
Give me the Texans in this one. The spread tells
you all you need to know. Normally you get three
points when you're at home, right yeah. For them to
be just one point favorite, which is a pick'am game,
which is weird considering that they're three and one right yeah,
at home and they're not even getting three giving.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
Up three were underdogs fort eight hours ago. Yeah, I know.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
I'm just saying I don't like where the Texans are.
Bills will bounce back. They're not as bad as they
were against the Ravens. They're not as great as they
were against the Jaguars, but I like to build all right.
Speaker 6 (36:53):
Last two quickly Cardinals at the Niners nineers seven and
a half point road favorites are home favorite.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
Excuse me, Rob, You like I got the Cardinals. That's
Cordin's plus the points. Yeah, put me in with the
Cardinals too. Yeah, that's that's too big of a spread.
Kyler Williams is going to find Marbat Harrison Junior. He's
going to do a thing.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
You mean, Kyler Murbury. That's okay.
Speaker 6 (37:08):
Last one Cowboys at the Steelers, Steelers two and a
half point home favorites.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
On Sunday Night, k dub Justin Fields continues to deal.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
This will be the beginning of the end of Justin
Fields right here.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
This will be the change over this game. This young
man SLOs the second game in the row. Bron hates
black quarterbacks.
Speaker 8 (37:28):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
You know, like black sitcoms, you'll like black quarterbacks. You're like,
I'm surprised he loves black baseball players.
Speaker 2 (37:36):

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Like, man, sometimes you got to say it with your
chest and I like that. And one of my favorite
athletes of all time is Lebron James.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
You know how I feel about them.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
But even la Lebron drives me crazy with his passive
aggressive doesn't too. We're like, he'll just at or maybe
the media has some narrative. He'll just post a weird
picture of a cartoon character, remember the one who is
it Arthur rob g Remember he had the fist Arthur's fists, Like, okay,
is he watching it with his daughter, who.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Was really young at the time. Is he meaning something
by this? Is he?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
But is it a black power fist? Like I don't
know what this means? Lebron you know, like and it
just drives me crazy. How now social media you can
do like the whole Oh I didn't say that, I
didn't mean it, or what was your you Rob Parker
go to interview that, Hey we saw you posted this thing.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
What it exactly did it mean? Oh? I don't know,
I just pulled What do you think it means? I
don't like that.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Just say it with your chest or don't say it,
post it and post it, mean it, or you know,
say what you mean. But this whole cryptic DeVante Adams
posting a raven or Edgar Allen Poe who wrote The
raven and like, what does it mean? Is it poetry?
Are you saying it's poetic that I'm trying to go
to the Ravens? We're about to play the Ravens? Like,
I just don't like all of that.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Man.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
I think that's one of the few things, uh, one
of the several things actually, But that drives me crazy
about social media. It allows these players now to kind
of have.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
These weird cryptic posts and speaking subliminals.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
To me, that drives us crazy because then Robert Parker
or you know Rob Parker writes an article about it,
and they're like, no, that's not what I'm man, that's
not what I said to you. I don't know what
you posted a fist? What does that mean?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Post? You posted this?
Speaker 1 (03:21):
So I just just sometimes to me, just say it
or don't say it at all. If you know your
name is in the media right now, you know we're
having these conversations about you being traded, rumors are being traded,
rumors about this, or that.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
They just don't post.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
It's okay, it's okay to not post or post exactly
how you feel and say it.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
What's your chest? Just drives me crazy.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Yeah, but most guys they don't want to say with
their chest. They kind of want to hide behind it.
Just be honest, be upfront. I'm with you on that
all the way.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I don't mind them being on social media. I think
some of them do great stuff. It's good to get
some inside look behind the scenes. Wow, okay, this is
how he's living on a wild beautiful family.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Love it.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I get that, totally with it. Some of them had
great causes and great charities. They do a lot of
great posts on that. But the cryptic weird in the
middle of your naming and the media stuff, and you
just post a weird picture that leaves it up to
our interpretation. I don't think it does anyone's service, including yourself,
because again you allow then for us to run with
what that post means, what that picture means, what that
quote from your favorite person means. As suppose to you
(04:17):
actually saying it or saying nothing.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
You make a compelling argument. Hard to argue with that.
I'm with you.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
I want to switch here to football though, Yeah, and
football from this standpoint of what we've seen from Derrick
Henry with the we thought even when he got picked
up that that was what a great move, because you
remember we talked about the Ravens losing that AFC Championship game.
They didn't run the football. They went not away from
what they do right, and they went back to it
when they ran the football last year. I think they
(04:46):
only lost one game all year when they rushed over
twenty times in a game. That game, somehow they only
had six rushes from their running backs or something, four
or six Rushes, which was ridiculous. But anyway, Derrick Henry
and it's wait to see a back, a real workload,
workhorse kind of back in the NFL. I'm enjoying watching
(05:09):
them play one hundred percent, and I think it's gotten
away from it.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Right.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
It's a reminder, yo, you can have success and have
one singular back that's the feature back.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Not that they don't use other backs.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Lamar Jackson by alls and purposes, runs like a running back,
and you have others. But this is our hog. This
is our feature back. This is who we're giving the
ball to twenty to thirty times in his game. And
you'll see Sa Kwon Barkley and the Eagles, you know
when they lost, when they stopped giving him the ball. Enough,
give Sa Kwon Barkley the ball, you know, Christian McCaffrey
went healthy. Give them the ball, whether it's running, whether
(05:42):
it's passing. But as great Jonathan Taylor, the more Colts
having success, give Jonathan Taylor.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
They downgraded the position. They didn't want to pay anybody.
You remember we saw Danny Dimes get all that money
from the Giants, right.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Sae Kwon Barker gleat in their face.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
But he was the reason that made Danny Dion even
viable because worry about him and the back exactly. And
so I don't I didn't understand that how we got
away from it and just became like arena football, just
throwing the football every down and running backs are so important.
The other part is, you know, in in a game
this time and a place where you need a two
(06:19):
or three yard rush touchdown and you can't get it
because you don't have a running back. It makes the
difference between icing the game because you got the first
down and not a clock is eating up or not
being able to close out the game and having to
give the ball back to the other team and then
they come back down, kick a field goal, tide the
game or beat you.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
I mean, you look at the Kansas City Chiefs. What
makes them also effective, especially the last couple of years
of Pachenko, you know what I mean? As much as
we talk about Patrick Mahomes, Patrick mahonmes haven't be putting
up Patrick Mahome numbers that we're accustomed to, and Pochenco
has been, you know, one of their big staples in
that offense. You know, listen, I know we're not in
the Barry Sanders, Emmitt Smith, Thurman Thomas era where every
(07:00):
team's trying to have this amazing feature back. I think
I was telling ron G I think the last little
era of that, remember that was that like Laedanian Thomason,
Priest Holmes, Sean Alexander.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Maybe a little bit after that.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
You know, where you have this feature back who's getting
you twenty five, six, seven, eight touchdowns in a year.
But it's good to just see. And I love that
Derrick Henry, they're starting to put up his numbers. He's
a few yards away. I think he's like eleven or
twelve yards away from having ten thousand career yards, which
most of the guys in like ninety percent of them
who have that are in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
The other couple will be soon.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Adrian Peterson will be there shortly, and so you expect
Derek Henry being there too. And I just like the guy.
He's a workhorse. He does what he does and he
makes that team better. So you wonder if and you
know another team that's doing that, who arguably is the
best team in the entire NFC. The Lions, you are
getting ran, they are running it down. Every team's throw
(07:54):
weekend in a week out, and then they light you
up with the play action with Jared Goff after that.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
And then don't forget you hardball.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Now as a coach at NFCO, Dobbins doing what he's
healthy as well. But you are starting to see a
shift back to run in the football. So this year,
let me give you a number. This year, teams are
averaging four point five yards per carry, which is tied
for the best mark in the in NFL history.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Think about that.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
They're also rushing one hundred and twenty four point nine
rushing yards per game, which is the most since nineteen
eighty seven.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
So the running game is a back.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
And then too, they're using quarterback Jada Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen.
That's another big part of it. Jalen Hurts and I
think what they're also realizing too, and when you look
at the numbers of why passing is down, partly we
have these conversations just because they're also saying, wait, why
aren't we running more?
Speaker 2 (08:44):
If I got Jalen.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Hurts, let me just stop playing around and let Jalen Hurts, well,
I got Lamar Jackson. Let's not be cute against the
Chiefs and well, we'll do this and Hi, we'll trick
him then pack run. It's Lamar Jackson, Jayden Daniels as
I found a great way of doing that.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Kyler Murray's gotten back to doing that as well.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Justin Fields has found a really good balance of running
and passing.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
So you have this.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Ability to run with the running back with the quarterbacks,
and it just changes the game. And I think that's
why we're gonna see passing numbers be down. They're down
also because kams just teams are starting to get acclimated,
getting more reps. They're not doing they're not playing in preseason.
You got new players, Guys are injured, they're starting to
get healthy. You got new quarterbacks and new positions and
new offensive coordinators. I think the passing yards will pick
(09:27):
up some, but I don't think they'll get back to
those numbers we had, you know, the last six, seven,
eight years, because people a gonna run the ball more
and see it's effective and you.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Can run the ball players defense, I don't.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
I never could understand that, and I understand like some
of the talented passers in the league or whatever, but
still there's got to be a balance. You can't be
one dimensional. And I'm not talking about run the ball
every down? What was that Patriots game with Matt Jones?
Remember you only threw the ball what was it, rob
g three times? You remember that game? Like which was
they ran the ball every single Like watching like a
(10:00):
on me Navy game or something.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
I was like, and then you wonder why they're trying
to let Drake Ma sit. That's why they're trying to
Like Drake makes it. They're like, oh, you know what,
let's just let him sit back, relax and learn a
little bit. Let let him grow a little bit.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
But by the way, where is mac Jones? He calling
the game somewhere Jacksonville. I lost sight of him.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Oh that's just brutal. Could you wasn't he like his
first year?
Speaker 5 (10:22):
He was?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Yeah, he wasn't bad. You're like, all right, first year
was pretty Yeah, that's what I'm saying. All right, you
gotta put the copy on the Pro Bowl guys. I'm
not going next guy. I'm not going third guy. I'm
not going fourth guy.
Speaker 6 (10:33):
I go that's mad disrespectful for Snoop on Lee because
he had that in his wikipedies was off a good
quarterback and He's a Pro Bowl.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Quarterback, right, Matt Staffords the Pro Bowl quarterback one time? Whoa, whoa,
he's a Super Bowl winning quarterback. Let's start there. Remember
that pick rob g in the Super Bowl?
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Remember that pick he threw I dropped Where did he
throw it at?
Speaker 6 (10:54):
I mean Jikwaski tart Jaquasi dropped the pick in the
Nancy James game and was out of the league, never
been never days.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
I mean, that's.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Maybe that's why he wasn't that good. That's why he
dropped it in the first place. Dude, he ain't Mauntvin Butler.
You have watched that.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
You haven't watched that over?
Speaker 1 (11:10):
No, no, no, because of matt Because Matthew Stafford went
to the Super Bowl and won. Okay, how could you
watch him covering Detroit all those years and see that
we had a guy that the number one pick and
they were like, oh, you know you're gonna go to
Detroit And he was like, I embraced this. He didn't
eli Manning's your guy. He said, I'm going to Detroit.
I'm gonna help be a thing that transforms this.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Uh, this didn't win. A playoff came and got him
to the postseason show. We wasn't even getting the postseason.
We weren't even thinking about stif we were all in sixteen?
Can believe you hate on Matthew Stafford? You watched that
man grit through injuries. He's there's a few people I
can understand you hate. How can you hate on Matthew Stafford?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Likable guy, tough guy, talented. How you got you hate
on Matthew Stafford? Stat Patford? What I see the all time?
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Now nickname? Now you know what you know? We were
gonna uh have some other conversation. Maybe we should have
a conversation this next time.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Who do you like? No, no, no, let's not do.
Speaker 7 (12:01):
That, all right, Rob Parker, No, no, absolutely likes somebody.
Here's who Rob Parker likes. I like a lot of player,
a lot. You're like a couple. But let's talk about
the research.

you enjoying the running of the football? We see the numbers,
The numbers are roup. Do you like this brand of
football where where, yes, quarterbacks are running, but we're seeing
a Derek Henry, We're seeing some running backs who are
actually Taylor right running backs along with the running quarterbacks
(12:36):
as well. To me, makes for an exciting game, not
just throwing the football downfield. Uh An A lot of
times stop it you play. It's a different game.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Uh. I love a balance, but I do love the
running of the football.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Man, You're not a low eight seven seven ninety nine
on Fox want to hear from you? We uh pickskin
pickoff that's coming up at six forty five? Was well,
still a lot left with your boys. It is The

All right, let's go to Derek. We all going to Derek.
No Henry in Houston. You're on the Eye Couple, Fox
Buds Radio. What's up, Derek?
Speaker 5 (14:36):
Hey, what's up? Brothers?

How are you hey?
Speaker 5 (14:39):
I'm glad, glad to see y'all thinks got things still

still keeping it moving.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Oh absolutely, Truple's not going anywhere, my man. We appreciate
you still riding with us.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Yoh yeah, oh yeah. But I love the resurgence of
the running game.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Man.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Today.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
They bought Derreck Henry Being for a purpose. The first
couple of games is like, they got this dude on ice.
I'm like, man, y'all brought him there to pound this
thing out. Let him feed that beast man, right, I.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Think they were trying to figure it out the first.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
Couple of weeks, right, they finally started feeding them, you know. Like,
and my man, I'm a Raiders fan. John Jacobs went
to the Green Bay. He's doing this thing. I'm just
glad to see that some running backs to come. I
come back. I go back to the Walter Payton, Barry
Sanders days. You know. I'm Tony door Set, frank O Harris.
(15:33):
I'm used to all that, man, I'm used to a
ground and pound type mentality that's going on, you know.
So I'm glad to see it.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Come back, no doubt.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
You know, hopefully it'll stay there.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
You know.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
I mean, granted, it is a passing game over the
last half of many years, but I'm glad to see
the resurgence. But like, one thing I will say is
that I think everything went down with Trent Richardson.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Oh yeah, he he wasn't Dereck Henry coming from Alabama.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Trent Richardson was called everything to go down. He'll as
far as saying the running back by.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
The way, Trent Richardson is just sitting at home straight
from Derek. Now, he just sitting at home, out of
his business and having a coke and a smile and
the Derrek but just took a shot at him.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Man, he's sitting there like, Hey, why me?
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eighty seven seven
nine on Fox we got.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Chili Tim in Atlanta. You're on the odd couple of
Fox sportuating what's up?
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Tim? Oh you, what's up? Bro?
Speaker 9 (16:30):
I'm good man. I told you I was gonna have
to do the phrase. I didn't even get myself excited. Man,
I knew what was gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
But what with the Braids, I know, yeah, I know,
I already know, and you know what, they weathered the storm.
You know you lose your best player and they had injuries.
It was amazing that they were even then all right,
you know what I mean that they made the playoffs,
no doubt.
Speaker 9 (16:53):
With the quarterbacks. I mean with the running backs. Here's
what I was thinking. There's a couple of things, right,
I didn't But what's happening in the resurgence. One of
the reasons for the resurgence is that they're exposing some
of these weaknesses of these quarterbacks. Like some of these quarterbacks,
you know that we were paying money given to I
think it is exposing them and I would and I
(17:14):
would like to see that skill go down, but we
know it won't. But it should indicate that some of
these quarterbacks aren't is good. You don't have the Peyton
Mans and.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
The Tom Brady's, Tom Brady Philip Rivers, that Ben Roethlisberg
and that era.
Speaker 9 (17:30):
Yeah, they don't have those. Those quarterbacks aren't like that anymore.
And I think what's happening is some of these guys
are getting exposed. But I fear that it's going to
go back to that once these younger ones start, you know,
getting game upon them. I'm fearing they're going to go
back away from it and starting to let these guys
throw the ball again.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
But I hope not.
Speaker 9 (17:50):
These guys deserve to get paid. And I think some
of these receivers, you know, take take the money away
from some of these quarterbacks and the receivers and give
it to some of these these running backs.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Should pay the player, not the position, and that's what
we've seen in the NFL. Yeah, I want to just
pay the quarterback position regardless. Like like Daniel Jones, like,
I can't say it enough. When they gave that contract,
we were like what he was even what his agent
called him. He was like, well me, right, are you sure?
Did you mean to call me on Saquon Barkley who
got the money?
Speaker 10 (18:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (18:21):
The issue with that, right is the next man up. Oh,
he's the next person. I think there's gonna be an
owner who's just not gonna care. I'm gonna say, look,
you are worth twenty five million. We think you're a
really really good quarterback, and that's a lot of money.
I'm not paying you fifty sixty forty five you know whatever.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Money.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Like how the Bucks did with Baker is absolutely perfect.
Baker's playing really well, he's playing great, and he's got
the proper.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
He's up next, and then see what you give him
if they don't win the Super Bowl. You gonna give
him sixty million. Can't get you sixty bro, But that's
what's life to you. You're nice.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
We want you for the next five to eight years,
but I can't pay you sixty minutes exactly.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Up all right, Travis in Michigan. You're on the couple
of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Travis?
Speaker 4 (18:59):
Man, You know, it's great to listen to this entire conversation.
I just got to say the grit and grid Iron's
coming back, you know, and it's in every division and
both conferences all the way around, and you got to
book up on a couple of people, man, But you
can't forget about Jon Robinson. Yeah, yeah, about Jerome Ford.
And if you look all the way across the board,
guys that ain't even getting many carries, there's still averaging
(19:22):
the number.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
Man. Brown got it.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Brown's got Ford in the backfield with four point six
yards and carry. You're seeing, uh, you know you're seeing
with the Seattle Seahawks. Man, Kenneth Walker the third I'm
a big MSU.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
So, man, this dude knows how to flip bold and
turn over and still keep running. That was one of
my favorite plays this last week on a Monday night. Man,
you can't beat a pilot like that, and it's you know,
you gotta you gotta give it to the entire league that.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
And you know what, we'll give you another one.
Speaker 9 (19:50):
Listen.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Jordan Mason, who's fourth in the league in Washington places
McCaffrey think about that.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
That's a great example, just like, hey, we're gonna commit,
you know, see is out. We're gonna commit to the run.
Appreciate Travis, Yeah, Appreciate the call. Travis Yeah. I mean
that's so what I did to the previous call I
think I think was Derek. If I'm not mistaken, he
mentioned he said, you know he worried that, you know
when once the quarter of the young group of quarterbacks.
But I think this young quarterback will only add to
(20:17):
that thread of like, oh shoot, Jayden Daniels can run
that pass and he's got a running back.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Like we're saying with Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
I think I think they're not gonna just get away
from I think they're gonna add that element of run
pass threat from a quarterback also having a stud running
back in the backfield as well.
Speaker 6 (20:34):
Here, the other thing, you guys, I'm talking about is
the reason why running is up a lot of reasons,
but one of them is they're so worried about these
quarterbacks now they're so further advanced than they ever been
in NFL history. Everybody's playing that same shell defense where
they saying, hey, we're gonna let you run the ball
and take six seven minute drives. We're not gonna let
you beat us with a forty yard pass and a
(20:54):
thirty yard pass touchdown. So we're gonna test your patience,
We're gonna test your play calling. To your point, the
younger quarterbacks of the reading this is happening because they
can do both. So they're like, hey, we'd rather you
take the time, be methodical than to just boom boom
booming to airstrike in exact forty seconds.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Right.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
But I also think I don't think these quarterbacks are
as good as they were, Like, who are the Remember
we used to at those quarterbacks like four or five
at a time, Brady Manning, breeze.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Fill the right.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
You just pencil it in four thousand yards thirty five touchdown,
you know, what I mean, like absolute beast. You know,
before Cincinnati, before you got hurt, Carson Palmer for about
four or five years of like flat out beast quarterbacks.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
And I don't feel like we have that right now,
where it's like, well, what we have now is the schemes.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
The schemes are so much better than they ever were
back then, where.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Manny being a scheme was his own, his scheme was
his vote. That was a lot to behold.
Speaker 3 (21:54):

I actually was telling folks over at Spectrum today we're
at my other job about we were, Oh man, listen
to the show. You gotts sound great. But when we're
talking about that, and I say they were like I
told him about the game and how you had to
give Alex Garter Minshew Gardner and you said furniture.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
What was Alex supposed to do with that? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
He listens to the show, like Alex does a lot
of shows. Most of the other shows he doesn't listen to.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
But hes on another show. Which show would that be?
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Ron?
Speaker 11 (22:52):
Can you tell me? I think my memory is a
little job, but I know you listen to this show.
Oh of course, yes, you have a garden furniture.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
I didn't know. And that was a gardener white. That
was such a Detroit reference.
Speaker 11 (23:04):
If Rob does any reference that's past the nineties, I
have no idea.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
What are you saying? I'm him, I'm happening.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
You have a hip hopefully? First of all, you a
roll to you said, I'm happening. Did you know what
you're like? It's the Uh, it's the hip group. I'm
in the broken hip group.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Well I don't say that.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Well that was you one of the golden girls Cruise. Yes,
you're trying to break some hips out there. Let me
tell you something I don't want to know. It was awesome.
I bet it was you. Hey, I watched The Golden Golden.
I've seen the commercial for the Golden Bachelorette.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
I don't watch that.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Yeah, I don't either, but I know it's life after
fifty and sixty.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Hey, let me tell you something. Don't pooh pooh, don't
let that gray hair fool you. I'm trying to tell.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
You, and you know what I learned in a pinch.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Never mind, I forget it.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Let's yes, please, we want to keep Remember you said
you want to keep a job for a few years.
Shout out of Dion Cole, the comedian Dion Cale. I
just watched his special. Uh it was definitely graphic. I
mean that was pretty much he was. He was getting
in what says. But the point is he talks about
a vintage woman. That's his whole.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Like, the main point of this comedy special is about
vintage women coming to you live from the tyreck dot
com studios.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
This person, he's not necessarily vintage, but he's definitely a veteran. Oh,
you know, we got to show some love to Kirk Cousins.
Kirk Cousins is to me rob a reminder that listen,
everybody wants a Patrick mahomes right. Everybody wants that we
talked about earlier, Pat Peyton, Peyton Manning. You want that
absolute quarterback that's going to be the guy facing the
(24:31):
league for ten to fifteen years of Tom Brady. You
can't always have that in this current day of Patrick
Mahomes or Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
But there are thirty two teams. You can find the
top ten guy.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
You can find a guy that you can win with,
a guy that you can have a bunch of success with.
You don't have to worry about being in the tabloids,
don't have to worry about getting any trouble. A guy
that the locker room is going to like. And I
feel like Kirk Cousins has been that. And you go
back to Michigan State, they're like, oh hey, he's good.
But and he gets into the league second third round
I remember exactly. I think was third round. All right,
cool to see does his thing replace an RG three
(25:03):
in Washington, goes to Minnesota. Does his thing makes them
relevant again? And winning playoff games?
Speaker 2 (25:08):
You like that?
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Then he goes Atlanta and again they're three and two
right now in the three games they've won, it's him
getting them down there, marching them down for game winning
touchdowns or getting them in position for game winning field
goals coming off an injury. He's showing up. He's playing.
He's not saying, oh, I don't want to play right now,
don't feel good. I just like Kirk Cousins in that Listen.
He's not the sexiest. He's not gonna be the most
(25:32):
you know, hip or cool. You know, he just found
out what's wax surfing is. Came song came out in
like twenty ten.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
But nagat.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
I like Kirk cuz everybody can't be the top three,
four to five guid in the league, but you can
win a lot with him. He can put your positions
and getting the postseason and have a shot at winning
some games. So I just think it's you know, it's
a lot of money, and he's gonna end up making
a heck of a lot of money in his career.
But he keeps showing us, you're in, year out of
different teams, different stops, that the man is a is
a really good quarterback.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
The only problem is he had that terrible record in games.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Uh the so long ago, by the way time game
completely turned it around by and he's one and four
in the postseason. Averaging two hundred and ten yards a game,
and that's why he hadn't gotten the full credit. Like
I hear what you're saying. That's that's what people look at.
They go, okay, yeah, that's nice. And then you get
in the postseason and he's won in.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Four with those what's Aaron Rodgers in the play He
won a super Bowl? You can't come on, man, come on,
are we really gonna have that conversation.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
No, we're not, because I just it's Friday and I
don't feel like.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Arguing with you' still argue with me. Come on, the
guy won a super Bowl and hen super you know who.
My point is a lot of big quarterbacks. If we
look at the playoff record, I think we'd be shot.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
No. But but it was Dak Prescott. I get it.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
But you can't compare a guy who never who's won
one playoff game. The guy won a super Bowl and
the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
I moved on, I said, Dak Prescott. Dak Prescott, I
guess sixty million.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
I wouldn't have paid him sixty million dollars either, And
I think it's crazy, but that's what But that's what
Jerry Jones and.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Doing five barely better. And you know what if that's
a knock on him.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
That's why a lot of people don't have the ultimate
respect for Dak despite the numbers.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
He's like a Tony Romo.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Right, Tony Romoo number like during the regular season, but
in the postseason and they've he's had stinkers in the
postseason that been just like, oh, the defense was terrible.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
He's been him.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
He's been responsible for since green Bay last year when
they got boat raced or whatever what happened. He threw
like a couple of pigs set up the green Bay offense, right,
he was bad.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
You know I would to get back to his boat
race racing yachts out here in these streets. No, but
that's why I just said it a moment ago. Absolutely,
you're gonna start having some odors and some gmsing. Man,
I ain't paying that guy.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Good.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Look Trevor Lawrence, like you said, what's happening with Trevor Lawrence.
Trevor Lawrence is a solid quarterback. He's probably gonna play
another eight to ten years in this league.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Got the big deal.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
I can't keep paying these guys sixty forty fifty sixties.
Now it's gonna jump up to sixty five seventy million dollars.
Come on, man, dude, you know I'm gonna find me.
I'm gonna go find I mean a solid Jared Golf.
I mean he get a bunch of money, but you know,
before the money, like, let me go find a middling
guy who was good enough when I got I build
a team around him.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Who's my brock Party for four or five years.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
But that's not gonna work because I ain't paying that.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
You go, you need without a quarterback, you're dead in
the walk. So yeah, you are.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Because there's a bunch of teams who get to the
super Bowl without the top type of con.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
But you need. But you gotta have, like some extraordinary defense.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
I'm gonna build my team around them. I'm just saying.
They went to a super Bowl. Black went to Rex
Grossman went to a block trip. Dilfer went to a
super Bowl. Brock Party doesn't win in San Francisco. Everybody
not gonna be on that. Rian Johnson went to a
boy I can keep on going down his line, b
Brad Johnson. There's a bunch of quarterbacks who continues to
get the super Bowl?
Speaker 2 (28:45):
They had? Who was I or solid. That's it.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
They ain't all timers, no, but they had extraordinary defense.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
That get I'm building up a defense, building up a
running game. We just spent time talking about a running game.
I'm not paying no guy sixty five million dollars. What's
his name? Oh, it's not paid Manning. What's his name? Oh,
ain't Patrick Mahomes. It's about all right, y'all getting carried
away with these payments at some point. All right, rob
your own businesses, and if everybody keeps coming, well, you know, Rob,
you gotta pay the do you know?
Speaker 7 (29:12):
Ay?
Speaker 1 (29:13):
I ain't doing it. Dag John Lway running different broncos.
He goes, I'll pay me sixty million. Let me get
him down there, give me six months to get right,
and I'm gonna get down there and.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Throw this football because I gotta pay this guy bo Nicks.
Speaker 3 (29:25):

bunch of money because he's he's the next guy paying him.

Speaker 2 (34:08):

I don't know and I don't know about what was is.
He keeps looking over the window. He's like he's waiting
for it to come down.
Speaker 6 (34:18):
Okay, all right, before we get to this week's NFL
pigs can pick off week five.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Got back at week four. Both of you guys three
and two. Very solid.
Speaker 6 (34:25):
However, Kelvin has a five game lead in the.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Standard chwl's he got a five game leader thirteen and seven,
verses eight and twelve.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
That's what I do, man, So I need to start
doing Chuckle City, but continue, all right.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
So let's get started.
Speaker 6 (34:37):
NFL base can pick off all these odds courtesy of
Lamar Mitchell.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Shout Lamar.
Speaker 6 (34:41):
You got to know Lamar bet MGM got these odds
earlier on Friday.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
So let's get to it.
Speaker 6 (34:46):
First game in Jolly London Town Jets at the Vikings
Vikings two and a half point, technically home favorites, k
dub you like, yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
Give me the Vikings. I think the defense is just
too much right now. Aaron Rodger and that team haven't
figured out the offense. They've been struggling. Now, if you'd
have told me DeVante Adams was on there, I'd be
with you.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
He's not so I'm.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Giving me, give me the Vikings to continue rolling.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
The Vikings will not be five and zero.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
This is where you get fooled into believe in you're
watching something special. They will lose and this will be
the game that the Jets turned around and it'll be
against the Vikings.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
All right.
Speaker 6 (35:20):
Game number two were talking about it all evening long.
Lamar Jackson, Derek Henry, Baltimore Ravens two and a half
point road favorites in Cincinnati against the Bengals.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Rob Parker, who do you like?
Speaker 3 (35:30):
I'm all over the Ravens on this one, and Sean
King was on earlier. He talked about it. The Bengals
defense a mess, can't stop anything, and they won't be
able to stop Derek Henry or Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
And as a part of me that you know, subconsciously
do the players like, man, we already won in three,
but you know, you start giving up on the season
a little bit, you start to worry. I think it
will be a close game, but I do think the
Ravens cover. But I think it will be a close game.
Could be a Jefs Tuckerfield all right. Game number three
get pick off at MGM with the odds firs on
this one. The Stefan Diggs revenge game bills that Texans
(36:06):
artist shifted later this week. Texans now one point home favorites.
Kelviny like, this one is tough because you could convince
me I have the way. Both teams look good, but
they coming off some big losses. I'm gonna go with
the Texans. I think the defense keeps things in check,
and I think CD Shroud makes a player two to
win this thing.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
Give me the Texans in this one. The spread tells
you all you need to know. Normally you get three
points when you're at home, right yeah. For them to
be just one point favorite, which is a pick'am game,
which is weird considering that they're three and one right yeah,
at home and they're not even getting three giving.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
Up three were underdogs fort eight hours ago. Yeah, I know.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
I'm just saying I don't like where the Texans are.
Bills will bounce back. They're not as bad as they
were against the Ravens. They're not as great as they
were against the Jaguars, but I like to build all right.
Speaker 6 (36:53):
Last two quickly Cardinals at the Niners nineers seven and
a half point road favorites are home favorite.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
Excuse me, Rob, You like I got the Cardinals. That's
Cordin's plus the points. Yeah, put me in with the
Cardinals too. Yeah, that's that's too big of a spread.
Kyler Williams is going to find Marbat Harrison Junior. He's
going to do a thing.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
You mean, Kyler Murbury. That's okay.
Speaker 6 (37:08):
Last one Cowboys at the Steelers, Steelers two and a
half point home favorites.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
On Sunday Night, k dub Justin Fields continues to deal.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
This will be the beginning of the end of Justin
Fields right here.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
This will be the change over this game. This young
man SLOs the second game in the row. Bron hates
black quarterbacks.
Speaker 8 (37:28):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
You know, like black sitcoms, you'll like black quarterbacks. You're like,
I'm surprised he loves black baseball players.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Be bro, check it out. Everything you had. He was like, man,
I guess we'll do brothers man whatever, y'all don't know me.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
I'm just straight down the middle.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
