(01:09):
com the way tire buying should be. We're going to
talk physicality, all right, We're gonna talk protection. In the
National Football League of Ravens, player was fined heavily for
a well, a play that took place we'll discuss later
on in the show. In fact, that will be the

(01:30):
next segment, so coming up here in about twenty minutes.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
We'll get to that.

Speaker 7 (01:35):
We also will talk about one of the two quarterbacks
that TJ. Hushman Zada has worked with, has personal relationship with.
We'll talk about him at to ten forty five.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
Time.

Speaker 7 (01:49):
Well, it'd be a different time if you're on the
East coast, but on the West coast ten forty five
we'll talk Bryce Young. But guys, let's start off with
the first quarterback that knows, Jaydeon Daniels. Now he's seemingly
feeling better from a rib injury that he sustained, and

(02:09):
Marcus Mariota, you know, picked up the slack for them.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
This is an interesting.

Speaker 7 (02:16):
Ball game here as it applies to Jaydeon Daniels because
they're going up against the Chicago Bears, which we all
know they had the first pick, and there was the
debate between jayde and Daniels and Caleb Williams, which one
do you take? Which one do you think is better?
These were conversations that were ensuing hitting up to the draft.

(02:39):
Caleb Williams goes number one, he is now starting to
have better games or izzy depends on how you feel
about the opponents that they've been going against. But Jade
and Daniels, no doubt about it. Before the injury was
lighting lighting the NFL world on fire. How do you

(03:01):
see this playing out? Guys like, is this an important matchup?
Like does Jaydon Daniels if he's feeling better and better
in air quotes, if he has a chance to play,
do you think he should go out there and play
based upon the idea that the guy that was taken
ahead of him and considered I guess to be better

(03:23):
than him and as to why he went number one
in the draft in Caleb Williams, do you think that
it's imperative for him to get out there and do
this head to head matchup against Caleb Williams.

Speaker 4 (03:35):
No, if you're not healthy and you can't play the
way you would play, if you can't completely protect yourself
when you have rib injuries and I dealt with a
lot of them, get that shot with that big old needle,
you can further damage yourself. Meaning if he can just

(03:57):
miss this game and be back next week and be
ready to go or miss two or three games, and
so I believe it's gonna be a game time decision.
And if it is a game time decision, and that
probably means he's gonna get shot up. And he's really
not one hundred percent, probably not even eighty percent. And
I get it. You do want to play because a
guy was drafted ahead of you. We played the same position.

(04:19):
But y'all both lists, y'all both in the NFC. Man,
y'all gonna y'all this this is gonna go on for
years and years and years, but it is a kill list.
That's a killing constantly play each other. And so with
the Bears have a really good defense. As Jane Daniels,
you're gonna use your legs a lot. And how comfortable
can you be if you have a red that's not sore?

(04:40):
Is it broken, is it bruised? I don't know what
it is. Is it floating? Who knows? And so I
would have to be feeling really good if I'm Jane Daniels,
and if it's a game time decision, and that tells
me that it is not, he's not ready to play,
but he will take that shot, as we all have
done on numerous occasions.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
I don't really think.

Speaker 8 (05:01):
It's that big of a deal for him to go
out and play against Kayler Williams, because you know, I
was saying, you know last season that I thought Jayon
Danes was the best player in the draft. You just
don't go out and have the kind of career season
that you had at LSU and win the Heisman Trophy
and you're not a good quarterback. I thought he was

(05:22):
the best quarterback coming out, and I still and he's
proven that. But I think the whole Kayler Williams thing
was height the things that he did at USC and
his tenure there, you know, his style of play and
all those things. But I just think from a quarter
a pure quarterback and standpoint, I just think Jaydon Danes

(05:42):
is a better player. I think he's going to have
a better career moving forward and getting back to the
whole playing his position, and we just talk about tour
and it being a reaction position. I mean, he's run
for three hundred and seventy two yards. He has four
rush and touchdowns, so when the pocket breaks down, he
is going to take off. He had six passion touchdowns.

(06:04):
But I was watching the game last week when he
got hurt. And I saw the play when he got
hurt in the first like the first second, first second drive,
when he took off like a forty fifty yard run,
he slid down and you know, his his his ass
hit the ground first and the guy landed on top
of it. And I think that like the little rib

(06:26):
cage at the quarterbacks, will kind of went into his
rib like in the front and he was no more
good after that play. But look, I don't yeah, yeah,
I don't think he has to play to really prove
anything to anybody or Caleb Williams, or the fans or
the league and go out and prove that I was

(06:48):
the best quarterback in the draft. Just like you say,
these guys, these boys are in the NFC. They all
going to link up sometime in near future. But I
think right now, with less weapons that he has than
Kaylen Williams, with the receiving trio that he has with

(07:08):
Keenan Allen, Roma Doonza and Dj Moore, you look at
who Jaydon Danger is doing to We know he has
Gary Terry, Austin Eckler is. I think he's been underrated
for the last four or five years at the position,
and ch and Zach Erst is playing good football. So

(07:28):
you look at it from that standpoint from playing the position,
and I think moving forward that Jaydon Daniels is going
to prove himself as being one of the top quarterbacks
in this league.

Speaker 7 (07:40):
I'll say this, this is an interesting thought. I mean,
for me, the Commanders are atop the NFC East, the
Bears are at the bottom of the NFC North. Right now,
it looks like the NFC North, even with the Vikings
being vulnerable now with losing Darris saw their offensive tackle

(08:01):
position and having a loss the way that they did
in their last game, it looks like that's the best
division in the NFC. But neither football it could be
the best division. I mean record by record, I think
they are, But neither one of these teams have a
signature win. Like if you look at who they've won

(08:24):
their games against, not the Commanders, not the Chicago Bears.
Not one of these teams coming into this game has
a signature win. But both of these teams are at
winning records, the Commanders being at five wins the Bears
being at four wins.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
I think it does.

Speaker 7 (08:46):
I think it matters because I don't know again, I'm
looking at the Commanders and I'm like, I think this
is a team that's hot, they're on the rise. But
being at five wins with the opponents that they've had,
I think that matters. I think it matters and and
kind of the total summing up of who they are,
right if they haven't won, I don't agree with that.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
Okay, why is that?

Speaker 8 (09:08):
Because I think Jaydon Damis is that good of a
quarterback and it doesn't matter who they play. I think
that the Washington Commanders will be in every game just
because of the kind of player that he is for
this team.

Speaker 7 (09:21):
Yeah, the Panthers, I don't. I don't buy that. If
you beat the Carolina Panthers, I don't buy that the
way the Panthers. Well, that's but that's the point I'm making.
That's not you're not don't even count. That's the point
I'm making. You're making my point. Like I don't know,
they have not won against every team that they've played against.

(09:43):
That maybe would be a like the Buccaneers, that would
have been a legitimate win. They didn't win that game.
They did not win that game. They they I mean,
if the Ravens would have been a hell of a
signature win for them, and and for what it's worth,
they played them well. I mean, Ravens were pretty much
in control. It didn't look like the Commanders would win

(10:05):
or or but it seemed like they could win. But
they didn't win that game. So to me, if you
get a win against a team like the Baltimore Ravens,
that's a signature win where you can say, you know what,
so this is a good team, Like I can definitively
say they're a good team if they won against a
team like the Ravens. Neither one of these teams have
beat a team that would leave me to say these

(10:28):
are this is a good team. So it makes me
wonder this could be a signature win. Whoever wins this game,
this now becomes a signature win because they're both winning
records coming into this matchup, and neither one of these
teams have done well in terms of winning against winning
record teams thus far.

Speaker 4 (10:50):
I mean, you can only play who's on your schedule,
but sure that the NC North is so Cincinnati is
not a quality win.

Speaker 7 (10:59):
No, not this year, not, I mean maybe maybe moving
forward going on the road.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
And Cincinnati is not a quality win. I don't see
it as they're not that. They're not very good right now.
They're not.

Speaker 7 (11:11):
They're not very good team right now. They might be improving.
We'll see. I'm not I'm not. I'm not a buyer
of the Cincinnati Bengals.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
I'm not. And you're not a buyer of the Cleveland
Browns defense.

Speaker 7 (11:24):
No, I'm not a buyer of the Cleveland Browns team,
the defense. I'm not a buyer of their team. I'm
not a bouyer of their team.

Speaker 8 (11:32):
They thinkland all the football they I.

Speaker 7 (11:37):
Think Cleveland is one of the top two or three
teams that stink in the nf NFL.

Speaker 9 (11:44):
I agree with that. I agree with that. I'm just
saying and I don't don't and I don't think Cincinnati
is far behind. They might be, they might be trending
in a different I think they're trending in a different direction.

Speaker 4 (12:00):
They can say they're not far behind, but they're trending
in a dip like.

Speaker 7 (12:03):
What they are not far behind, stinking like the Cleveland Browns,
but they are seemingly trending in the right direction.

Speaker 4 (12:15):
I ask tomorrow against the Eagles, then you're gonna change
this tune Monday on two, you're gonna change the tune on.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
Well, we are in media, t J. I I am
allowed to change my mind.

Speaker 7 (12:25):
I mean, that's that's the beautiful thing about what we
do our work.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
I can change.

Speaker 7 (12:30):
I can change how I feel, and I get six
days a week to do it. I get six times
during the week to tell our national audience how I feel.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
It isn't that a.

Speaker 10 (12:40):
Beautiful I mind my business.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
My god? They well, I guess yeah.

Speaker 7 (12:55):
But for the three hours that I'm on during the week,
I'm gonna tell you what I think. And that's how
I feel in the movement. And I'm a stand on it.

Speaker 4 (13:05):
Hey, you know we haven't we haven't talked about this.
You know what's gonna be a make or break game
is the Niners Cowboys loser may be done. Mm hmm,
so big Cowboys loser, loser may be done.

Speaker 7 (13:18):

Speaker 4 (15:47):
No, Hey, Hey, Lapard and any you kids play basketball
coming up? Plex your son played or just your daughter?
My son played? His freshman year. Now I'm talking like AAU.
I'm asking because you know, yes, my son has a
tournament this weekend, right, And it's so crazy out here, man,
Like everything is based on grade. If you fifth grade,

(16:10):
you play fifth grade. You sixth grade, you play sixth grade,
so forth and so on. Man, these dudes be out
here cheating. They butts off man. Bro changing births, bro,
changing birth certificates, changing four cards, Yes, and the people
that run the tournaments know it, and they turned the
blind ee bro.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
Oh yeah, it's crazy. It's crazy.

Speaker 4 (16:31):
Like we're about to go play games right now, and
my son is going to be playing with kids. If
I choose to play my son against older kids, that
should be my prerogative. Shn't let these kids cheat and
play down. And you know they playing down and you
don't do anything about it because you just want the
money of the tournament. That's crazy, man.

Speaker 8 (16:49):
That's what's one thing I've never agreed with. And I've
had that conversation with my kids and some of the
younger kids that he played with playing AU basketball. And
even though even in seven o seven, uh, these leagues
across the country. Bro, it's crazy in New Jersey you
can reclash your child. Yeahs, so you can hold him

(17:12):
back a year or two, you know, just because I
guess as a parent or as a child, you know,
they want to give him an advantage and even opportunity
to get to wherever they want to go.

Speaker 4 (17:27):
When you get to high school, that age difference. Like
if you're fourteen, planning gets a fifteen year old, that's
not that big of a deal. But when you're a
young kid and you're a ten year old planning, it's
a nine year old, huge difference. You're a eleven year old,
Planning gets a tenure, huge difference like that one year matters.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
It's a huge difference.

Speaker 8 (17:46):
It's a huge difference if you the tight end for
the Miami Dolphins, for the Miami for the Miami Hurricane
years old, Yeah, man, yes, the tournament directors they allow
it to go on.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
That's why it goes on.

Speaker 7 (18:01):
You got thirty year olds playing in the Little League,
crazy cats.

Speaker 4 (18:11):
Get a job, buddy, It's time to go home, cuz.

Speaker 7 (18:13):
Hey, why does a man playing against Crew got a
full beard and hair on his back?

Speaker 4 (18:18):
Hey, LeVar, my son is y'all know Crew? Ten years old?
We played a kid on I'm not even lying to you.
He had a little mustache at ten years old, had
calf muscles. He had a little mustache. Hey, dude was muscular.
I was like, what is this bro had a mustache
and he was real muscular. I'm like, bru, buddy got

(18:39):
to be thirteen years old saying he ten.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
It's crazy. I will say this though.

Speaker 7 (18:43):
I was one of them dudes, and I was my age,
but I was dunking in the sixth grade, so my
parents had to always I had to always go with
a like a like an original birth certificate. My parents
used to have to go to the games with the
original birth certificate, like basketball and football, because ball I
was like breaking collar bones, like I was literally hurt
you as a matchild and I.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
Was playing up. I was playing up because.

Speaker 4 (19:07):
I was too and that see you're playing up. But
out here everybody knows he's I live out here to
you to everybody knows these kids like we playing And
it was like everybody, oh he older than us, Oh
he's small, so they don't think he's a smaller kid.
So they don't think he says, oh yeah he's ten, Nah,
he's a sixth grader. He shouldn't be playing, but because

(19:28):
he's small, they let him get away with it. It's crazy, man.

Speaker 7 (19:33):
Well, look were broadcasting live from the tyrag dot com studios.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
Tyrack dot com will help me get in there.

Speaker 7 (19:40):
And you know what, everybody's of the proper age and
everybody is classified properly the tire rack dot com and
they're unmatched with their selection of free fast road hazard
protection and over ten thousand recommended dollars. Tyrag dot com
the way tire buying should be. Speaking of needing to

(20:01):
win or wanting to win at all, cause you guys
mentioned Dallas, You mentioned the San Francisco forty nine Ers
before we get our update from from I LO and
go into up on game, down on game super quickly.
How important is this game? As you guys mentioned before
break is it to Dallas and San fran Who needs

(20:21):
to win this game?

Speaker 8 (20:22):
More?

Speaker 1 (20:22):
Is it? Dallas is a.

Speaker 4 (20:23):
Sad frand man, you know the forty nine Ers are
three and four, the Cowboys are three and three. They
both need the game because I would say the Cowboys
because their divisional leader they're four and two, that that's
the problem. The Commanders are foreign two. The Eagles are

(20:45):
foreign two, whereas with the Niners in the NFC West,
they're still right there. They win this game and the
Seahawks lose, they for everybody is right there. The Rams
are right there, the Niners are right there, the Seahawks
right or even the Cardinals are right there. And so
for me, I think the are five and two, five
and two, I'm sorry, five and two, and the Cowboys

(21:07):
are three and four. The Cowboys lose this game and
the Commanders win, they're three games back, three and three.
But if they lose this game, they'd be three and four.
If the Commanders win three, they'd be three games back.
And so I believe the Cowboys really really need this game.
But both of these neither one of these teams are

(21:28):
playing one. You got Jerry Jones come out and say,
I don't like our plays, I don't like our concepts
technically basically, I don't like what our coaches are doing.
This is what Jerry Jones is saying in so many words.
And so the Cowboys, uh, they got to find a way.
They can't run the ball, so everything now is relying
on the pass. Micah Parsons is out a bland. It's

(21:50):
out if you're Micah, you out of the long term deal,
you even come back pay me and I'm and I'm
ready to go until then I'm not coming back to
I'm one hundred percent Like, why would I risk it?

Speaker 1 (22:03):
Now?

Speaker 4 (22:04):
You saw what happened with Iyuk you had a high
ankle spring. Why would you risk if they don't want
to give you that long term security, why would you
jeopardize your long term security? And so there's a lot
that goes on in here, but I believe the Cowboys
need this more than the Niners because the Niners division
is not as strong.

Speaker 8 (22:22):
Yeah, the Ninna's division not as strong, but the sam
skid for the Niners in trouble. Just last year we
were talking about bruck Perty being one of the best
quarterbacks in all the football and Steve Spack know you
make no doubt about it. He put him on wax.
We got him on tape because if you watched the
interview last people bar Perry was talking about Kyle Shanahan

(22:43):
doesn't even give him the luxury or the you know,
the the to change the plays of the line of strimmage.
So whatever comes in, they gotta run it. It's called
a built in offense. So he has to recognize coverages
or defenses or blitzes or whatever the case may be,
to the ball to the white robe receiver. He said,
you know this, and for everybody that don't know this,

(23:04):
you'll be talking about to of being a time in quarterback.
Brock Party is a time in quarterback. If you look
at the offense, a lot of his completions come outside
of the hash mark when t when defenses play him zone,
you are throwing to spots and windows.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
What does theevese Pac know you do?

Speaker 8 (23:22):
Last week he played a man and man there's no timing.
All the timing goes out of the windows when you're
playing against bumping run from a wide receiver.

Speaker 4 (23:31):
Standpoint to the quarterback.

Speaker 8 (23:32):
Now he has to throw the football and deliver it
accurately to guys that.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
He ain't even play with.

Speaker 8 (23:39):
So he doesn't have Debo, he don't have CMC, we
don't have Brandon Ayuth. So what kind of quarterback is
he going to be moving forward? When these teams are
going to walk up and not give him the luxury
of playing against zone and playing against man and man defense,
He is going to have to be an accurate passer

(24:03):
and actually deliver the ball uh in tight windows and coverages,
and these players are going to have to have to
make contested catches moving forward because these facts. Know he
showed everybody last week. We're not going to play back
party in the zone. We're gonna play hi man, man,
make him play quarterback.

Speaker 4 (24:22):
And the Chiefs man you up, boy, Like they play
man more than any team that I remember, and like
they play man so much. And it's like, throw the
ball in tight windows.

Speaker 8 (24:33):
You know, it's a different kind of of football playing
against a zone and a man timing.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
You throw, you play man.

Speaker 4 (24:43):
There's all the timing is off now and guy's got
to win and the quarterback has to throw a little
earlier and just trust the receiver is going to be open.

Speaker 1 (24:54):
Right.

Speaker 4 (24:56):
It's it's a different ball game. Spags is a hell
of a coach, mana I'm gonna get that man credit.
He's a hell of a coach. Hey, Spags put him
on wax man.

Speaker 8 (25:07):
I'm just telling you all these defense that he's gonna
see them moving forward. Man, they're not gonna sit back
and don't let this man just pick him apart and
throw the ball.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
Because he's not eleven on eleven player.

Speaker 7 (25:18):
He's not going to beat you with his feet, so
you can overload. You can bring that extra man in
the blitz. And that's exactly what Spags does. He brings
an extra man from somewhere on the field to overload
the offensive front.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
And that's why they're able.

Speaker 7 (25:33):
If they're able to play man effectively the way that
they do, they're able to put pressure on the quarterback.
And to the point before we go to the updates,
as it applies to brock Perdy, it's just very difficult
to be what he's been considered to truly be, which
is a game manager, when you don't have the type
of that to be able to.

Speaker 8 (25:51):
That's what everybody said, Oh he ain't got de bo
or he ain't got a U, he ain't got CMC man.

Speaker 1 (25:57):
I don't want to hear the excuses. Go out and
play football.

Speaker 7 (26:01):
You can't manage the game if you don't have all
those players. So now, whatever it is that he does,
whatever the results are, you gotta believe that he gets
full credit for any success that he has during this
stretch period of time, is what I would say. But
you know, we'll see how it all plays out. I
think it's super important. I think it's a bigger game
in my estimation for the Cowboys too. But with that

(26:23):
being said, the San Francisco forty nine ers will find
themselves in.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
A very very very bad way.

Speaker 7 (26:29):
Even though their division isn't performing at the highest levels,
there's still a bottom of the NFC West and that
hole would be so deep if they lost this game.
So it's a lot on the line for that game.
It'll be interesting to see how it plays out. We're
gonna do up on game, down on game, but first
let's get an update from our guy one more time.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
Let's give it up.

Speaker 7 (26:49):
Let's hear it from the legend himself, mister Izick Lowing Brawn.

Speaker 5 (26:54):
Why thank you, LeVar. Let's start with number four Ohio State.
They're a fourteen to three over Nebraska, fifteen seconds left
to play in the first half at the Horseshoe. Ohio
State's Will Howard a forty yard touchdown pass to Carnell
Tait and then.

Speaker 7 (27:08):
Howard under center with a snap fakes a handoff sets
up as thirty two throws down the middle of field.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
Deep Jeremiah Smith. He's got into the twenty of.

Speaker 7 (27:14):
The corner Oskers and into the end zone goes Jeremiah
Smith with a long distance touchdown from Will Howard and
the Buckeyes on top thirteen to three.

Speaker 5 (27:24):
Paulk heels the call on WBNS. Meanwhile, for twelfth rank
Notre Dame, all they need is love.

Speaker 6 (27:31):
Leonard hands it off to Love up the middle, has
a scene across midfield.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
Goodbye across the forty thirty twenty ten touchdown sixty four
yards of all loans.

Speaker 6 (27:44):
Jeremiah's back in the end zone, and Notre Dame leads
twenty to seven.

Speaker 5 (27:49):
The call on WSBT Love with two touchdowns, as Notre
Dame has a twenty eight to seven lead over twenty
fourth ranked Navy with one oh seven remaining in the
first half. Thirteenth ranked Indiana at seven and oh up
seventeen to seven over Washington at halftime. Eighteenth ranked All
miss with a ten to seven lead over Oklahoma with

(28:11):
one fifty six left to play in the second quarter,
finally fellas in the NFL. ESPN reporting a short time
ago that the Dallas Cowboys plan to elevate running back
Dalvin Cook from their practice squad to their active roster
for Sunday nights game at San Francisco.

Speaker 3 (28:26):
Back to you, guys.

Speaker 7 (28:27):
Appreciate that. Loo have a great day today, man, enjoy yourself.
A lot of great football games on other stuff to do. Okay,
let's get into it. Like listen, we're going to do
this because well I'm so good at doing it and
I'm really good at dominating TJ and plex. Soo, without
further ado, let's do it.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
Stop more day down not for some picks. Are you
up on game?

Speaker 4 (28:51):
Let's break this up.

Speaker 3 (28:52):
Let's break it up, tell that game.

Speaker 11 (28:54):
Get down?

Speaker 7 (28:56):
All right, Resky, what we got going on here? Man,
talk to me about this week's up on games?

Speaker 1 (29:02):
Down on games?

Speaker 12 (29:03):
All right, LeVar, Well, the first game I got for
you guys right now is actually the Tennessee Titans going
to the Den itself. That's right at Detroit Lions, and guys,
Lions are eleven and a half point home favorites.

Speaker 3 (29:16):
The total is forty five. LeVar, who you got?

Speaker 1 (29:21):
You said they're eleven points.

Speaker 12 (29:23):
Eleven and a half point favorite. Ooh over who Detroit
Detroit over Tennessee.

Speaker 7 (29:30):
Yeah, I'm gonna take the points on that one. I'm
gonna take to take Detroit and I'm going to take
the over on the points.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
Yeah, that's it.

Speaker 4 (29:40):
That's eleven points in a National Football League.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
Crazy, really hot.

Speaker 4 (29:44):
But with that being said, they are playing the Titans
that just traded DeAndre Hopkins. I'm gonna take the Detroit
Lions and I'm going over as well. I see them
winning probably I'll say thirty five to fourteen type of games.

Speaker 8 (29:58):
Oh man, I'm taking undoing the points. I just don't
believe moving forward. I think that the Detroit Lions are
going to surface. The real Detroit lines.

Speaker 4 (30:08):
Are going to surf. I think they fus God.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
I think the injury will hutch.

Speaker 8 (30:12):
It is really going to hurt them moving down the
road as far as you know the way that Arangland
wants to call defense. And the Tennessee Titans need a victory,
they need a win. So I think they come out,
They're going to Detroit. They get this win, and but
I'm going under on the points. I'm taking Tennessee.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
You money line in the Tennessee Titans.

Speaker 8 (30:33):
Our money lining the Tennessee Titans in Detroit. Man, I'm
taking all underdogs this week.

Speaker 12 (30:38):
That's blasphemous, bro All right, come on, go ahead, pack
all right, Next one, guys, we got Chiefs at Raiders
and guys, the Chiefs are a nine and a half
point road favorite. After adding DeAndre Hopkins, total is forty
one and a half.

Speaker 1 (30:52):
And you know what, TJ.

Speaker 3 (30:54):
We got on this one.

Speaker 12 (30:56):
Man.

Speaker 4 (30:56):
As we know, the Chiefs are undefeated. Last time the
Chiefs lost the game was last year to the Las
Vegas Raiders. I don't believe the Raiders will win this game,
but I believe that defense will keep it close enough
to where they cover. And I will also go under
the point. So I'll take the Raiders in the under.

Speaker 8 (31:18):
Oh man, I'm going Kansas City Chiefs and I'm going
over the points.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
Ap.

Speaker 8 (31:22):
I love you to death, but hey, my god, Number
fifteen is coming in there. Man, where were they playing at?
They don't matter. I'm taking the Kansas City Chiefs. I
said before the season there was my Super Bowl favorite.
It will be the first team to win a three
peat in National Football League history. They are own the
trajectory of Richard do So, So I'm taking the Kanda
City Chiefs with the win and I'm going over on

(31:44):
the points.

Speaker 7 (31:45):
I feel like if AP was on this phone with
us right now doing this with us, he'd be like, Hey,
I agree with y'all.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
We don't have a quarterback, we ain't gonna have enough offense.
So at the end of the day, and I mean
not just me speculating, y'all. That ain't me you saying
I got real information.

Speaker 7 (32:00):
I'm gonna take the Kansas City Chiefs covering with the points,
but I'm gonna take the under on the amount of
points on the total.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
So I'm taking Casey.

Speaker 3 (32:11):
All right, All right, Well, we got one more guys.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
Final one.

Speaker 12 (32:14):
We have the Dallas Cowboys at the San Francisco forty
nine Ers and guys Niners are four and a half
point home favorites in a must win game for both teams.

Speaker 3 (32:24):
Total is forty seven and my man plaques who you got, And.

Speaker 8 (32:29):
I'm going over on the points because they mad one
of these teams playing no defense.

Speaker 4 (32:35):
So I'm going over the forty.

Speaker 8 (32:37):
Seven and a half. And we just talked about brock
Party and the struggles against Man and man, I'm taking
the Dallas Cowboys to avenge themselves from the last year's
lost to the forty nine ers. They win the game,
and I'm going over on the points.

Speaker 4 (32:56):
This is tough because I don't know if de Bow
will play, if Deebo plays, and I'm I'm hedging that
he will play because they need him to play. I'm
gonna take the Niners that the Niners, uh, they're a
better football team, and I'll go under the points. I
don't I don't think it'll be a high scoring game.
I think both of these defenses will come out and play. Look,

(33:17):
the forty nine Ers defense isn't bad. The Cowboys defense
is hot and cold. So I'll go under, but I'll
take the Niners.

Speaker 7 (33:23):
I'm gonna take the under on the points and they're
giving up how many points of San Franz four and
a half?

Speaker 4 (33:31):
Is that what we said? Forty seven and a half?

Speaker 3 (33:35):
Forty forty seven?

Speaker 1 (33:37):
No, No, what's the spread? What's the the spread and
a half? Four?

Speaker 7 (33:41):
It is four and a half for the Niners. Yeah,
I'm gonna take that. I'm gonna I'm gonna take the
I'm gonna take the points on that. I think Dallas
will will Yeah, I think, all things given us, it's
an interesting matchup because of the injuries. So then then
now goes down to coaching. No shade towards Mike McCarthy.
I just think that Kyle Shanahan has a better feel

(34:03):
on the coaching and maximizing what he has. So I
think that they'll win, but they won't win by more
than four and a half. So I'm gonna take that
and I'm gonna go on the under with the totals.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
So appreciate it.

Speaker 4 (34:16):
Man.

Speaker 1 (34:17):
That's you know, I think that's a good one.

Speaker 7 (34:18):
Make sure you mark those down so that we could
get the totals next week on how I dominated Plexico
and TJ on the Up on Game Down, on game
Listen before we go to break, let me give you
all this before we wrap up the show on the
next next segment, which will be you know, pretty cool segment.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
Anyways, Anthony Davis.

Speaker 7 (34:41):
Let's go back to a little bit of basketball, his
pr totals, which is his points, his rebounds, and his assists.
The Lakers they're taking on the Kings tonight, and you
know what, Anthony Davis is off to an amazing start.
He's on fire, but he always seems to struggle against
the bonus for some strange reason. AD's really really been good,
but I expect him to slow down after this two

(35:03):
and a oh start for one reason or another. So listen,
if I'm looking at it as well, maybe I'm going
to jump in on what we got going on with DraftKings.
Maybe think about going with the under fifty with ad
on his PRI's points, rebounds and assists. Think about it
one leg? Why is it always one leg that gets you,

(35:26):
you know, the winning parlay going and only to lose.

Speaker 1 (35:31):
Well with that one lousy leg.

Speaker 7 (35:34):
It's brutal, but you know what, not anymore because DraftKings
Sportsbook has your back, and with progressive parlays, it's okay
if you lose a leg because you'll still get paid.
So even if you're forsaken by the football gods or
the basketball gods and you're taking al, you can still
walk away a winner. So try an NFL progressive parlay

(35:57):
today where you can lose a leg and still get paid.
Imagine that Draft Kings we get you, so we get
that the crown is yours.

live from the Tirack dot com studios. It's Plexico burs Is, TJ.
Huschmanzada'm LaVar Arrington. If you missed anything, anything at all,
it's okay. You got to do is check out the podcast.
They'll be going up immediately after the show. Just search
up on Game wherever it is you get your podcast from,

(37:07):

You know, just check out search up on Game wherever
it is you get your podcast from. And immediately following
this show, Jonas Knox will be up. He's on deck
to give y'all a dope show, so make sure you
stay locked in for that. Before we get up out
of here. Here's Number two paying off to tease Bryce Young,

(37:29):
the number two quarterback that TJ knows and has spent
time with He's now up and getting the start for
the Panthers.

Speaker 1 (37:39):
He's getting put back in to get his opportunity.

Speaker 7 (37:41):
Oh wait, wait, wait, hold on, they're only putting him
in because Buddy hurt his thumb in a car accident.
Glad he's okay. Don't want to minimize that. Andy Doton
was in a car accident. He's okay, but has an
injured thumb, so he will not be up and ready
to go, even though coach is saying that he's hoping

(38:02):
that he can have him active and ready to go
for the game. Fellas I look at like this, they stink.
Andy Dalton got in. They thought that he was going
to be a lightning rod to kind of stimulate the team.
He did for for a week, but then it was
much of the same. They still stink. I just wonder
how you guys are looking at it and looking at
how they kind of panned out that they were seemingly

(38:24):
putting this on the shoulders and at the feet of
Bryce Young. You saw that it's a bigger problem than
Bryce Young because they were losing the same way without Bryce.

Speaker 1 (38:33):
Now he goes back in.

Speaker 7 (38:34):
How should Bryce Young be approaching this opportunity to get
back in as the starter.

Speaker 4 (38:38):
Guys just just trying to get better.

Speaker 1 (38:41):
Man.

Speaker 4 (38:41):
You know, people look at the Carolina Panthers as being
void of talent, and that first game, Andy Dalton comes
down and you throw us at three hundred and so
it's like, wait, whoo, well Bryce is playing terrible like
Andy is just doing this. But ultimately he came back
down to Earth and their talent showed. They just don't
have the talent that these other teams have. Their drafting

(39:03):
has not been good, they have not developed. Blame whoever
you wanted to blame. But for Bryce, try to improve,
continue to get better, and hopefully you can revive your career.
Not in Carolina. He gonna have to get out of Carolina.
And I'm looking at like, if I'm the Miami Dolphins,
I'm trying to get a guy like Bryce that can

(39:24):
throw on time, it can throw accurately enough. I'm trying
to see if I can get him. But for him,
I'm sure he's happy to be back on the field,
and you just got to play better because he's not
one of the You can't oh, he didn't play any partners.
He played a part in this and so he must improve,
He must play better than he was playing to just

(39:47):
give himself that confidence that I can do this at
this level.

Speaker 8 (39:51):
I mean, I think it's gonna be the Tello Tello
obviously and adultin came in. I still think that he's
a better quarterback based off of his career and his
experience that he you know, obviously experienced in in uh
in in Cincinnati and being an elite Robb receiver playing
alongside A. J. Green and those guys. But I think

(40:14):
he's the best, uh, you know option for this team
moving forward. He obviously he has a spring thump, spring thumb.
But I don't think that the Carolina Panthers, from a
you know, franchising quarterback standpoint, are going to move forward
with Bryce Young.

Speaker 1 (40:31):
You know, after this season.

Speaker 8 (40:33):
Uh they'll probably have the first or second pick, and
they're going to have to invest in a quarterback. It's
just what the business is. I don't think they planning
moving forward with him. But I just want to see
him go out and you know, make some throws and
and uh you know consistently you know throw the football.

(40:54):
Well that's something that he's struggled with, and obviously the
team is not very good. But when you are drafted
with the first pick, they already expected for you to
show that the responsibility of where the franchise goes from there.
We had Tim Couch on the on the show last
year and him going into Cleveland being the first picking,

(41:16):
and you know that didn't really work out necessarily well
for him, But for him for Bryce this weekend, I
think it's a big game for him, you know, moving forward,
because he's going to have to prove to himself first
and everybody else that he can play quarterback in this
league and he's going to have to go out and
play well tomorrow.

Speaker 7 (41:36):
All right, Well you've got it from us, You got
it from here. This is up on Game surely. Hope
you enjoyed the show. Again, Jonas Knox will be starting
up The Jonas Knox Show in a matter of seconds.
