Speaker 3 (00:15):
I'm just bringing the viewers into how grown men in
the locker room, like I don't play with some dude
that you disrespect them anyway, it didn't matter who it
was they was putting hands on you.
Speaker 4 (00:25):

exact quarterback.

from the tire rack dot Com studios of Fox Sports Radio.

Silver Bowl champion Blaxico Burres.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
All right, all right, welcome into hour two. Hour one
was action Pat Phil with a lot of great conversation.
This is up on game. We are broadcasting live from
the ti rack dot Com studios. Tire rack dot Com

(01:16):
Tire rack dot com The Way tire buying should be.
We have discussed quarterbacks at length, in fact, the whole
entire hour, from Tua to Love, to Aaron Rodgers to
Lamar Jackson. We haven't gotten to Dak, but we mentioned
Dak Prescott. Let's keep the conversation going on. Let's reset
(01:38):
the convo. We've talked about the extensions, the record breaking
extensions that have taken place, Jordan Love becoming the highest
paid player at our highest paid quarterback in the history
of the game, marking inking two hundred and twenty million
dollar contract, Tua not too far away at two four team,
(02:01):
and then we got into the conversations of Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
What type of brand is that?
Speaker 5 (02:06):
How does it compare to guys like Jordan Love, who
haven't made any you know, waves in the media with
things that they've said. To transitioning over to Harball and
Baltimore saying that Lamar Jackson will go down in history
as the greatest he didn't say one of he said
the greatest quarterback in the history of the National Football League.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
It's just a quarterback heavy.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Conversation right now that's coming out of training camps, fellas,
and we're talking to t J. Huschman's out in Plexico Burst. Obviously,
I'm LeVar Arrington, this is Fox Sports Radio. You are
in the right place at the right time. Let's keep
the conversation going. And to me, let's add into this
conversation the idea and the question of is it safe
(02:59):
to say that when you hear those types of comments
come from coaches? Is it safe to say when you
see awarded contracts like the ones that Tua and Jordan
Love have received. These are all guys that have very
very clean resumes pretty much in in the media, don't
(03:21):
really create any type of waves. And what it is
that that you're saying, is it safe to say that
in comparison to guys maybe liking Aaron Rodgers or you know,
others that you may have heard things about, like maybe
a Kyler Murray. In terms of what the scrutiny is
(03:41):
and how that scrutiny plays out in the media, do
you see that there's a maybe a trend of guys
that don't really develop their brands in the media or
have really really big presences outside of playing the game.
Are the ones that are being rewarded are How are
you guys looking at what the criteria of because it
(04:04):
just seems like it's safe to give these types of
contracts out to the type of guys that are receiving them,
not just the next guy is up. But it seems
safe to give two hundred million, two hundred and twenty
fourteen million dollar contract to you know, a Kirk Cousins.
Give these guys those types of contracts moving forward for
(04:25):
the National Football League and what that represents for the
Shield and its brand.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
You know, the majority of qbs.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Are really chill, don't really have a presence on social media.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Really, I mean which ones do? They're there's just not many.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
When when you think about, like, wow, just across the league,
the quarterbacks that have a big presence in the media
or or through social media.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
That's the nature of the business.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
You know that they've grown up with the be a leader,
uh let's be in the background, let your game speak
for itself type of thing. And so as I sit
here and think, uh, I don't there's really no Cam
Newts with that type of personality with the game to match,
you know, they they both have to be together. And
(05:25):
when when you go through today's quarterback, I don't believe
anybody fits that bill because they want to be in
the background and kind of let their play speak for it.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Mhmm, Blacks.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Oh, I mean Lamar Jackson was letting it, letting us
play speak for himself. And he still had to hold
out for a contract. Let's not forget that the Baltimore
Ravens didn't even want to give him a long term contract.
He had to hold He had to hold out for that.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
They made what is it? They give him what?
Speaker 4 (05:58):
The non exclusive franchisetass state dead and no team offered
them any money. You know they did not. They did not,
So what's wrong with that picture? After the man is
already an MVP of the league, what's wrong with that picture?
Now you have Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Now that is crazy, Plax, that is crazy. Think about that.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Nobody offered them crazy any money, no other team. So
I would say with Jordan Love, from a contract standpoint,
I can see him being the next young great quarterback
in this league.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
I really can't.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Because we know who Jared Golf is, we know who
Trevor Lawrence is.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Well, we know who Daniel Jones is as a player.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
As a player, but from a contract standpoint of reaching
the potential of you know, guiding an organization and this
and this young group of talent that he has around
him and to make them better. I can sit here
and honest say, I think that he is the most
(07:15):
deserving of these contracts that these teams are giving out tour.
I think too is going to be He's gonna be
a good player. But him being in the a f
C and f a FC East, you still have to
go there and down in Kansas City. That's not going
(07:36):
to happen until this young man leaves. So that's just
what is going to be in it. And they said,
you know what, I left the AFC in Pittsburgh because
I couldn't beat Tom Brady. I said, man, I done
ran into this guy twice in the a f C
Championship game. He done came into my house and beat
me twice. You know what, I'm going to the NFC
(07:58):
and you know, and you know what, I ran into
him at the Super Bowl. So as far as quarterbacks
against her, I get what Jim Harbaugh saying, it's a
great thing to hear it and to give you a
quarterback that confidence. I think Lamar is gonna be a
He's gonna be a great quarterback in this league, I
(08:19):
really do. But him stepping outside of Boston saying the greatest.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Of all time? I mean, what is number fifteen over there?
In casey man?
Speaker 4 (08:29):
You got to recognize that because this young man is
on the brink of rare air as what we call it,
and if he goes out and he's able to get
it done again, then it's going to be that conversation fellas.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
Am I wrong for saying that if you haven't even
played for a Super Bowl yet? I feel like it's way, way,
way premature because to me, you know, Lawrence Taylor came
out not too long ago and said that he didn't
think that Tom Brady was to go, of course or
backs either, just because of the era that he's playing in.
(09:03):
The things that Joe Mahagre had to deal with. I
do too. I think it's a debate the things that
that that they were changing rules like, think about this.
The rule change of the tuck rule came from a
Tom Brady play with Charles Woodson. That that changes the
course in the history of if that play is upheld
(09:27):
the way it's supposed to be upheld.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
If that play is upheld, we get home fill advantage
in Pittsburgh because Oakland has to come to us after
we after we lose that AFC Championship game. I believe
it was oh one o two. The Oakland Raiders have
(09:53):
to come to the Pittsburgh and we're gonna flat line
now to get into the super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
But yeah, go ahead, keep going.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
Yeah, I mean, but that's that's the point I'm making here, right,
So when we're talking about defining who the goat is,
first of all, the rules have changed. So if you
can throw the ball very well and you can play
in the pocket, I think we all know pocket passing
quarterbacks are still the premium and the standard of being
(10:21):
able to win. That's what's proven out so far. But
now the added aspect of a pocket passing quarterback that's
athletic enough to run, that is really really a dangerous,
very dangerous combination. And that's what Patrick Mahomes is. He's
a pocket passing quarterback that can move around and can
(10:44):
run and get yards. Your quarterback was like that, plex
Ben Roethlisberger was like that, could extend plays. He's obviously
was a pocket passing quarterback, but could get out of
the pocket, could run, could break tackles, could get first
downs and add that extra element of if you're going
to play man on man, you had better have somebody
that could play ass quarterback. I mean, it's a tough
(11:07):
it's a tough business if you have a quarterback that
can do that. All right, Listen, this is obviously a
tremendously long conversation that is taking shape here, and I
want to continue it. You got an eighteen game expansion
that's coming. They're at seventeen games. The rules have changed.
Let's continue the conversation. Is it possible to be the
(11:30):
greatest be deemed the greatest quarterback of all time with
all these things that are changing? All right, keep that
question on your mind and you'll be able to compare
and contrast what we're saying on the show to what
it is that you're thinking. Where you're at listening to
the conversation. This is up on game. That is TJ.
Huchman's outa as Plexico burst, I'm LeVar Arrington. We're going
(11:51):
to take a quick break and on the other side
of the break, Yeah, we're going to continue to have
this conversation.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
All right, welcome back in. It's up on game.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
We're live from the tyrack dot com studios. It's Fox
Sports Radio. Alongside me, LaVar Arrington, I got my guys,
Plexico Burs and TJ.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Huschman Zada.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
We're gonna keep this conversation going on. Now we've had
the conversation with plenty of quarterbacks added into it, and
now let's add another name.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
You see what's going on here. Yeah, we're adding names
to each segment.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
Deshaun Watson, the Browns quarterback who, if you guys recall,
originally was the big dog with a contract that no
one would ever see being eclipsed and in some regards,
really hasn't been well just yet because all the guaranteed
money in his contract. But he comes out and he
(14:06):
says he's looking to block out all of the noise
there has been a lot of noise. We had the
conversation about quarterbacks that hit the media for not so
good reasons. Deshaun Watson could be the MVP of that award. Fellas,
when you look at where Deshaun Watson is in his
(14:27):
career right now, how does he compare in this conversation
that we've been having about all these other quarterbacks. And
at one point time in Houston, he had one season
where you could arguably say he was the best quarterback
in the National Football League at that moment in time. Now,
since being in Cleveland, we have not seen anywhere near
(14:51):
that type of production from him. What is the what
is the idea or what is your thought problem process
on Deshaun Watson for this season? What does he need
to do, uh, to get back into those conversations.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Be available? I mean that that's that's very simple. Deshaun Watson.
Since he's been in Cleveland Brown One, he hasn't played
how he played in Houston, and some of that is
to be expected when when you sit out and and
you missed so so many games the way that he did.
(15:31):
But also he's he hasn't been healthy, he hasn't been
available to play. And so if Deshaun Watson can, as
he said, block out the BS and just worry about himself,
then that adds another team to this blood path that
(15:53):
we call an AFC because when when you go through
the teams in AFC, you just kind of gloss over
to Cleveland Browns, probably the most underrated coach in the
league and Jim Schwartz as their defensive coordinat they gonna
play defense and they're gonna make it hard on everybody.
If Deshaun Watson can be what he was in Houston,
(16:13):
like you just spoke of, that's another team added to
the mix of Yeah, I can I can see them
getting to the Super Bowl as well, But we just
don't know because we have yet to see the Houston
Texans Deshaun Watson as the Cleveland Browns quarterback. We haven't
seen that. We haven't seen that that accuracy, that ability
(16:33):
to run, that ability to make plays, the ability to
come through when we need you. He hasn't been available.
And so for me, this is a make or break
year for Deshaun Watson. His contract is fully guaranteed, so
he'll be the starter. But as far as when you say,
who are the elite quarterbacks. Nobody, and I mean nobody
(16:56):
even thinks to save Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
He can changed that with a good year this year.
If he does not do that, I believe all may
be lost.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
I mean, Deshaun Washington hasn't thrown for a three hundred
yard games since twenty twenty one.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
It's a long time. That's a long time, almost too long.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
And you know what, I'm in so much support of
this young man. And you know, obviously you know all
the things that he's been to and to get the
contract and to be you know, the quarterback of the
Cleveland Browns. It's just like TJ said, if he's available,
(17:42):
then we can get back into the discussion of where
does this Shawn? Where is he at? As far as
being one of elite quarterbacks in the league, five years
is a long time ago. Four years is a long
time ago in football games. So if they have the
best defensive football so I believe from that standpoint, all
(18:07):
he really have to do is go out and manage
football games. If they can score twenty one to twenty
five points a game, then the Cleveland Browns are threat.
Because I don't see too many teams I don't care
who you are going into Cleveland or playing them on
the road from offensively that are going to score thirty
points on this Mouse Garrett led defense, I don't see
(18:29):
that happening. So for them, he just has to go
in and play sound football, not turn the football over.
He doesn't have to throw four thousand or forty five
hundred yards lean on his offensive line with it with
this running game and Mark Cooper and this bunch. Did
(18:52):
you all just see Nick? This guy chubbed over their
squad and six seven hundred pas bar bending man. I
thought that the young man would never play the ball again, right,
But the fact that he is in that kind of
mode to get back, it adds a whole different dimension
(19:13):
to the Cleveland Browns. If Nick Chuck can come back
and play football, I mean you can't count them out.
But it all falls on Deshaun Wahston. And if he
can go out and play football to the level that
we know that he can, then the AFC is a
(19:35):
different story because they are clear they are the dark
horse in this in the AFC.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Mean, what is DeShawn w Washington going to do?
Speaker 5 (19:45):
Let me ask you all this because a lot of
people like feel like Jameis Winston is a punchline to saying,
you know, quarterback play and this, that and the other.
They'll make fun of how many interceptions he's thrown, or
how he handles, you know, interviews and things he may say.
His soundbites are all punchlines. There's nothing comical about the
(20:06):
game of Jameis Winston.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Let's be clear here, the dude can ball.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
If just say, if history repeats itself and Deshaun Watson
is indeed the guaranteed two hundred plus million dollar franchise
quarterback that doesn't seem to be available for the team
as you mentioned being available, TJ.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
I mean they did it with.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
Joe Flacco last year, and Joe Flacco did an amazing
job of standing in.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
They bring in Jameis Winston.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
Jameis Winston had an opportunity to sit and learn from
Sean Payton in New Orleans, had a pretty golden opportunity
in some regards in New Orleans. It doesn't work out
quite that way. He ends up in Cleveland. What does
this do as for an opportunity for Jameis Winston. If
he gets the opportunity to play with this type of
(21:01):
skill and talent that they have and coaching that they
have in Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
If that opportunity presents itself, we're gonna see if he's
learned from his past mistakes, if he's learned from being
overly aggressive in history has shown us, with recent history,
that opportunity is gonna be there. It's gonna be there.
It's just a matter of when it comes. Are you
(21:30):
gonna be prepared? Are you going to be ready to
take advantage of that opportunity at some point? At some point,
not all, at some point, the majority of guys are backups.
Opportunity comes and you take advantage of it. And so
the Cleveland Browns and Deshaun Watson have an opportunity just
(21:51):
that division alone, Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, Russell Wilson, Justin Fields,
Deshaun Watson, Jameis Winston, just that division alone.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
It is it's tough.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
And we're not even talking to a f C East
in the AFC South now, Like there's just so many
good quarterbacks.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Just s in this division.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
I mean, you look, you look at the obviously the
best in the AFC West with Mahomes and Herbert. It
is going to be in exciting I'm looking forward to
this man, because there's gonna be some teams that come
from nowhere like they always do, and there's gonna be
some guys that play well that you don't expect and
where did he come from? But yeah, if recent history
(22:36):
of Deshaun Watson body betrays him again, we'll see.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
Yeah, I think that Shawn is going to be good man.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
I really do.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Anybody in this in this division can win the division.
I think we can all agree with that. I don't
think Baltimore is going to be as good as they
would defense to be last year without Patrick Queen. I
think that was a misstep by him by not resigning
to him and letting him go across the street to Pittsburgh.
I don't know how many times that's happened for somebody
(23:13):
to go for Pittsburgh to play for.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Baltimore or vice versa.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
So I think this is the only division where you
can clearly say that anybody can win it because of
the factor that we don't know if Deshaun Watson is
going to turn back into the great young talent that
he was in Houston. Everybody knows how I feel about
(23:38):
Joe Brow. I think he's the best quarterback in the world.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
I really do.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
If you put him in Kansas City, I think he
had the same results. I believe that he's that good
of a quarterback that he is the best young young
quarterback in this league. And for Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, I
think at some point in time we got to start
putting some of this onus on hardball because.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
He has the MVP quarterback.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
He let one of his defensive stars go and queen
and they're gonna have They have a window.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Every team has a window.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
And I just think for you know, Baltimore and Cleveland
with this great young defense, I think their windows are closing.
Mhm uh, you know faster than you would say Cincinnati,
because I think Cincinnati for the next ten years, they're
gonna be somebody to deal with. It's just gonna be
(24:43):
the fact, can they get it done?
Speaker 5 (24:45):
That's plexico burst right there. You got T. J. Hushman's out.
I'm LeVar Arrington. Let's take a quick trending break and
get it from our guy Brian Finley. Then we're gonna
continue the conversations going on. What you got feet?
Speaker 7 (24:58):

Speaker 5 (28:32):
Somebody who's got a lot of tire tread on their tire,
got to bring got to bring in the goat's name.
So far the current goat and Patrick Mahomes. Now, there
was some interesting poking of fun taking place with our
boy ap uh with with the with the Raiders, the
Las Vegas Raiders calling up basically calling out the Kermit
(28:54):
the Frog deal. You know, they had Kermit the Frog
dolls and stuff like this. You know, at one point,
do we have the sound on on Pat Bow on
him talking about them asking him to asking him to
do a uh impersonation of of of Kermit the Fraud.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
I'm talking right now, that's it, Okay.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
So he acknowledges the fact that and and and I
love this about Patrick Mahomes. He acknowledges the fact that
he does have a Kermit the Fraud type of voice.
With with the way he speaks personally, I think it's
it adds to the uniqueness of the phenomenon that he is.
He probably will have some amazing voiceover jobs and opportunities
(29:43):
uh at some point in his life and his career,
maybe post post career playing.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
But Fellas, hey, yeah, why not?
Speaker 5 (29:54):
There was poking up fun that took place by the
last Vegas Raiders, clearly in the same UH division as
as the Super Bowl winning UH Chantsie Chiefs. Here's what
Patrick Mahomes had to say to that.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
I probably seen the.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Video the Raiders with the yeah you because that's something
that you're kind of our apartmentalized and used getting ready
to play them. Yeah, I're still earlier in the year.
Kind of stuff like that happens. He'll get handled when
it gets handled.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
It'll get handled when it gets handled.
Speaker 5 (30:30):
Translation Fellas, I can tell you what mine is, but
I'm gonna turn it over to y'all. Translation. Did they
poke the bear? I mean, he's already a beer. That's
a woke. What did they do? Did they Are they
in the stall with with the bull? Did they tied up?
Did they poke them to the irritated? Is he going
to buck them real bad? Is it going to be worse?
Speaker 2 (30:47):
How should we interpret the trolling from one team in
the same division as the Super Bowl champs and the
best in the game.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Right now, I mean, does it really matter in the
grand scheme of things. When they play each other, everybody's
gonna play hard. Nobody's gonna be like, oh yeah, I'm
gonna play harder because what they did the Mahomes in
the off season in training camp with the Kermit they
gonna play hard anyway.
Speaker 5 (31:16):
Now they said, my quarterbacks sound like Kermit the Frog.
Now after the game, after the game that there will
be a lot said, but leading up to it, a
lot of people they make these big deals about what
goes on prior to a game.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
You're just not thinking about that.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
You want to play good, regardless if anything is said
about you negative or not. And so I actually now
that will put a little more sauce on it. I
look forward to that. The Raiders defensively are going to
be really good, and so I look forward to that
matchup when they do play. I look forward to seeing
(31:57):
will there be any extra curricular activities after the whistle
when he trash talking, which I'm sure there will be.
But hey, Mahons, just matter of fact, Basically, we'll see
when we plan, we'll see if they're gonna have that
same energy when we play. What he's saying had that
same energy when we like what he's saying, no doubt about.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
Hey, man, listen, Ap knows exactly what he's doing. Man,
he's already came out and said, listen, we gotta take
the head off the snake, and he is the whole
damn snake. I mean, he knows what he's up against
that division. You know, outside of Justin Herbert and the Chargers, uh,
Kansas City, they are this case and you know that
(32:40):
you cannot win the division without uh, but Patrick mahomes
so Kansas City, Man, I know AP's doing.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
It's it's all psychological.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
I think they're gonna be a lot better on defense
this year than people, UH perceive him to be because
there's one thing I know. He had a great teacher
from a defensive from a defensive coaching standpoint, and that's
Bag and he's in Kansas City. So it's a mirror
(33:13):
kind of image when they play each other because they
know each other so well. That's why the games are
so are going to be so good moving forward. But
for Patrick Mahomes Man and all the fun that they
poking down, and he's like, man, I don't care, man,
I don't winn three chips already.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
I'm going to get me a fourth one.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
And I believe that they are going to do it,
because you know what, they just got better on offense.
And I always go back to this Tyreek Hill leaving
the Kansas City Chiefs. It only made him a better
quarterback because he could no longer just throw the ball
(33:55):
up fifty sixty seventy yards in there and watch Tyreek
Hill or none of the football and have all these
dynamic plays. This man learned the game of football and
coverages and offense the things that he can do and
cannot do. So now you take Tyreek Hill away from him,
Travis Kelcey is a Hall of Fame tight end.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Now you have all the.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
Institute Xavier Worthy, you bring in Hollywood Brown guys that
can still take the Topahao defense. So now what you
have to do is these guys can outrun you. And
now Travis Kelsey is going to be working more underneath
than anything. So this offense has gotten better. Spags is
(34:40):
still there and they played Baltimore Ravens opening Opening Day,
and they got the Kansas and they got the Cincinnati
Bengals at home. I think they start off oning to
those two games are going to be meaningful when it
comes to AFC home and Van and it's playoff time,
(35:02):
and I believe that they're gonna start out the season
two to zero. They want to beat Cincinnati and they're
gonna beat Baltimore and home. Fill Avantas goes to the
Kandessey the Chiefs right off the bat.
Speaker 5 (35:14):
That's plus Coe Burst, It's TJ. Huschman's Ada. I'm Leavar Arrington.
We're gonna wrap this show up. On the other side
of the break, the Vikings. They took a horrible, tragic
situation and made a good a good They did something
very good. We're gonna talk about that on the other
side of the break. You're listening to Up on Game.
This is Fox Sports Radio. All right, welcome back in.
(35:38):
It's Up on Game. We're live from the tyrack dot
Com studios. It's been a hell of a show, a
lot of quarterback talk, a lot of things going on.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
If you missed it, make sure you check out the podcast.
Wherever it is you get your podcast from.
Speaker 5 (35:52):
Look up up on game immediately following the show, stay
locked in, stay tuned in. Jonas Knox will be coming
in with the jc AS Show. He talks about a
lot of cool things. He's got great stick. You'll enjoy
his show, so make sure you stay tuned into that.
But before we get up out of here, Fellas wanted
to bring a tragic story but turns into a pretty
(36:15):
pretty compelling and very very cool uh story as well.
We all know about the tragic loss of life and
the crash of Vikings rookie Kyrie Jackson. He was just
laid the rest uh not on Friday and and and
just a.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
Tragic, sad, sad story.
Speaker 5 (36:37):
But in the midst of all of that, Fellas the
Vikings are paying Kyrie Jackson's signing bonus to his family. Now,
I know there's a lot of things that people say,
and you know people do, and sometimes it's just full
of hidden reasons and agendas. But you gotta believe this
is one of the coolest acts of kindness.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
That you could ever hear of. I mean to award.
Speaker 5 (37:04):
The the the signing bonus, to to the to the
fall and gone too soon Kyrie Jackson to his family.
I thought that was really worth us having a quick
conversation about and acknowledging, because that is to me, that's
his stand up as it gets Yeah.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
It's uh, his family, his friends, they will forever be
scarred losing a son, a brother, a cousin, and a friend.
What the Will family the Vikings are doing is remarkable.
They're paying that money to his trust, to his estate.
(37:45):
Coach O'Connell, Man, all you can do is applaud them.
You applaud them for for for doing this. The young
man with his entire life ahead of him. Man, it
just when I because I got kids his age. When
you see these things, it hurts you. As you get older,
at least for me, become a little more sensitive to
(38:08):
certain things. But a young man that has his entire
life ahead of him, his career, and for it to
end this way once again, I just want to applaud
the Wealth family to Minnesota Vikings Coach O'Connell for this gesture.
Speaker 4 (38:23):
I mean, what else more needs to be said? Man,
This young man is you know, dreamed and worked and
you know to get to this point, and tragically it
was cut short and for the you know, for all
the bad things and that you know, everybody has to
(38:47):
say about you know, the Shield and the league, and
this is one thing that it's it's right man, And
I'm just you know, uh, for the family, for them
obviously young man has lost his life, and just like
(39:08):
TJ said, man for the for the Minnesota Vikings in
this organization and what family man to step forward and
to continue to you know, to award his family for
you know, all the hard work that this young man
put in. Man, it's just a standing up thing to do.
So you know, it's a it's a sad thing. But
at the same time, uh, you know, they still won't
(39:32):
get to see as young that that they're young. We
won't get to see him play football. And at the
end of the day, man, I think it's just uh,
you know, sad, happy, but man, young man still lost
his life. And but good good for the Minnesota Vikings. Yeah,
good for them. And listen like you mentioned, uh t J.
Speaker 5 (39:55):
Yeah, I have I have a son the same age
as him as well.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
And youorry about those things.
Speaker 5 (40:01):
You worry about ever getting those types of calls and
having to deal with what that would be like having
that type of loss. So my love, my prayers go
out to them.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
I know that.
Speaker 5 (40:13):
Community very very very well, the wise community of the
Upper Marlborough community. My mom and father still live in
that community. So much love, much respect. I can't imagine that,
But I also feel like that's one of the coolest
things that an organization could do in the midst of
a tragedy. So all right, you guys have heard the show,

the ti rack dot Com studios. Tire rack dot Com
will help you get there an unmatched selection, fast free shipping,
free road as of protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers.
(01:16):
Tire rack dot com The Way tire buying should be.
We have discussed quarterbacks at length, in fact, the whole
entire hour, from Tua to Love, to Aaron Rodgers to
Lamar Jackson. We haven't gotten to Dak, but we mentioned
Dak Prescott. Let's keep the conversation going on. Let's reset
(01:38):
the convo. We've talked about the extensions, the record breaking
extensions that have taken place, Jordan Love becoming the highest
paid player at our highest paid quarterback in the history
of the game, marking inking two hundred and twenty million
dollar contract, Tua not too far away at two four team,
(02:01):
and then we got into the conversations of Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
What type of brand is that?
Speaker 5 (02:06):
How does it compare to guys like Jordan Love, who
haven't made any you know, waves in the media with
things that they've said. To transitioning over to Harball and
Baltimore saying that Lamar Jackson will go down in history
as the greatest he didn't say one of he said
the greatest quarterback in the history of the National Football League.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
It's just a quarterback heavy.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Conversation right now that's coming out of training camps, fellas,
and we're talking to t J. Huschman's out in Plexico Burst. Obviously,
I'm LeVar Arrington, this is Fox Sports Radio. You are
in the right place at the right time. Let's keep
the conversation going. And to me, let's add into this
conversation the idea and the question of is it safe
(02:59):
to say that when you hear those types of comments
come from coaches? Is it safe to say when you
see awarded contracts like the ones that Tua and Jordan
Love have received. These are all guys that have very
very clean resumes pretty much in in the media, don't
(03:21):
really create any type of waves. And what it is
that that you're saying, is it safe to say that
in comparison to guys maybe liking Aaron Rodgers or you know,
others that you may have heard things about, like maybe
a Kyler Murray. In terms of what the scrutiny is
(03:41):
and how that scrutiny plays out in the media, do
you see that there's a maybe a trend of guys
that don't really develop their brands in the media or
have really really big presences outside of playing the game.
Are the ones that are being rewarded are How are
you guys looking at what the criteria of because it
(04:04):
just seems like it's safe to give these types of
contracts out to the type of guys that are receiving them,
not just the next guy is up. But it seems
safe to give two hundred million, two hundred and twenty
fourteen million dollar contract to you know, a Kirk Cousins.
Give these guys those types of contracts moving forward for
(04:25):
the National Football League and what that represents for the
Shield and its brand.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
You know, the majority of qbs.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Are really chill, don't really have a presence on social media.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Really, I mean which ones do? They're there's just not many.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
When when you think about, like, wow, just across the league,
the quarterbacks that have a big presence in the media
or or through social media.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
That's the nature of the business.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
You know that they've grown up with the be a leader,
uh let's be in the background, let your game speak
for itself type of thing. And so as I sit
here and think, uh, I don't there's really no Cam
Newts with that type of personality with the game to match,
you know, they they both have to be together. And
(05:25):
when when you go through today's quarterback, I don't believe
anybody fits that bill because they want to be in
the background and kind of let their play speak for it.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Mhmm, Blacks.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Oh, I mean Lamar Jackson was letting it, letting us
play speak for himself. And he still had to hold
out for a contract. Let's not forget that the Baltimore
Ravens didn't even want to give him a long term contract.
He had to hold He had to hold out for that.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
They made what is it? They give him what?
Speaker 4 (05:58):
The non exclusive franchisetass state dead and no team offered
them any money. You know they did not. They did not,
So what's wrong with that picture? After the man is
already an MVP of the league, what's wrong with that picture?
Now you have Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Now that is crazy, Plax, that is crazy. Think about that.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Nobody offered them crazy any money, no other team. So
I would say with Jordan Love, from a contract standpoint,
I can see him being the next young great quarterback
in this league.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
I really can't.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Because we know who Jared Golf is, we know who
Trevor Lawrence is.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Well, we know who Daniel Jones is as a player.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
As a player, but from a contract standpoint of reaching
the potential of you know, guiding an organization and this
and this young group of talent that he has around
him and to make them better. I can sit here
and honest say, I think that he is the most
(07:15):
deserving of these contracts that these teams are giving out tour.
I think too is going to be He's gonna be
a good player. But him being in the a f
C and f a FC East, you still have to
go there and down in Kansas City. That's not going
(07:36):
to happen until this young man leaves. So that's just
what is going to be in it. And they said,
you know what, I left the AFC in Pittsburgh because
I couldn't beat Tom Brady. I said, man, I done
ran into this guy twice in the a f C
Championship game. He done came into my house and beat
me twice. You know what, I'm going to the NFC
(07:58):
and you know, and you know what, I ran into
him at the Super Bowl. So as far as quarterbacks
against her, I get what Jim Harbaugh saying, it's a
great thing to hear it and to give you a
quarterback that confidence. I think Lamar is gonna be a
He's gonna be a great quarterback in this league, I
(08:19):
really do. But him stepping outside of Boston saying the greatest.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Of all time? I mean, what is number fifteen over there?
In casey man?
Speaker 4 (08:29):
You got to recognize that because this young man is
on the brink of rare air as what we call it,
and if he goes out and he's able to get
it done again, then it's going to be that conversation fellas.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
Am I wrong for saying that if you haven't even
played for a Super Bowl yet? I feel like it's way, way,
way premature because to me, you know, Lawrence Taylor came
out not too long ago and said that he didn't
think that Tom Brady was to go, of course or
backs either, just because of the era that he's playing in.
(09:03):
The things that Joe Mahagre had to deal with. I
do too. I think it's a debate the things that
that that they were changing rules like, think about this.
The rule change of the tuck rule came from a
Tom Brady play with Charles Woodson. That that changes the
course in the history of if that play is upheld
(09:27):
the way it's supposed to be upheld.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
If that play is upheld, we get home fill advantage
in Pittsburgh because Oakland has to come to us after
we after we lose that AFC Championship game. I believe
it was oh one o two. The Oakland Raiders have
(09:53):
to come to the Pittsburgh and we're gonna flat line
now to get into the super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
But yeah, go ahead, keep going.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
Yeah, I mean, but that's that's the point I'm making here, right,
So when we're talking about defining who the goat is,
first of all, the rules have changed. So if you
can throw the ball very well and you can play
in the pocket, I think we all know pocket passing
quarterbacks are still the premium and the standard of being
(10:21):
able to win. That's what's proven out so far. But
now the added aspect of a pocket passing quarterback that's
athletic enough to run, that is really really a dangerous,
very dangerous combination. And that's what Patrick Mahomes is. He's
a pocket passing quarterback that can move around and can
(10:44):
run and get yards. Your quarterback was like that, plex
Ben Roethlisberger was like that, could extend plays. He's obviously
was a pocket passing quarterback, but could get out of
the pocket, could run, could break tackles, could get first
downs and add that extra element of if you're going
to play man on man, you had better have somebody
that could play ass quarterback. I mean, it's a tough
(11:07):
it's a tough business if you have a quarterback that
can do that. All right, Listen, this is obviously a
tremendously long conversation that is taking shape here, and I
want to continue it. You got an eighteen game expansion
that's coming. They're at seventeen games. The rules have changed.
Let's continue the conversation. Is it possible to be the
(11:30):
greatest be deemed the greatest quarterback of all time with
all these things that are changing? All right, keep that
question on your mind and you'll be able to compare
and contrast what we're saying on the show to what
it is that you're thinking. Where you're at listening to
the conversation. This is up on game. That is TJ.
Huchman's outa as Plexico burst, I'm LeVar Arrington. We're going
(11:51):
to take a quick break and on the other side
of the break, Yeah, we're going to continue to have
this conversation.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
All right, welcome back in. It's up on game.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
We're live from the tyrack dot com studios. It's Fox
Sports Radio. Alongside me, LaVar Arrington, I got my guys,
Plexico Burs and TJ.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Huschman Zada.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
We're gonna keep this conversation going on. Now we've had
the conversation with plenty of quarterbacks added into it, and
now let's add another name.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
You see what's going on here. Yeah, we're adding names
to each segment.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
Deshaun Watson, the Browns quarterback who, if you guys recall,
originally was the big dog with a contract that no
one would ever see being eclipsed and in some regards,
really hasn't been well just yet because all the guaranteed
money in his contract. But he comes out and he
(14:06):
says he's looking to block out all of the noise
there has been a lot of noise. We had the
conversation about quarterbacks that hit the media for not so
good reasons. Deshaun Watson could be the MVP of that award. Fellas,
when you look at where Deshaun Watson is in his
(14:27):
career right now, how does he compare in this conversation
that we've been having about all these other quarterbacks. And
at one point time in Houston, he had one season
where you could arguably say he was the best quarterback
in the National Football League at that moment in time. Now,
since being in Cleveland, we have not seen anywhere near
(14:51):
that type of production from him. What is the what
is the idea or what is your thought problem process
on Deshaun Watson for this season? What does he need
to do, uh, to get back into those conversations.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Be available? I mean that that's that's very simple. Deshaun Watson.
Since he's been in Cleveland Brown One, he hasn't played
how he played in Houston, and some of that is
to be expected when when you sit out and and
you missed so so many games the way that he did.
(15:31):
But also he's he hasn't been healthy, he hasn't been
available to play. And so if Deshaun Watson can, as
he said, block out the BS and just worry about himself,
then that adds another team to this blood path that
(15:53):
we call an AFC because when when you go through
the teams in AFC, you just kind of gloss over
to Cleveland Browns, probably the most underrated coach in the
league and Jim Schwartz as their defensive coordinat they gonna
play defense and they're gonna make it hard on everybody.
If Deshaun Watson can be what he was in Houston,
(16:13):
like you just spoke of, that's another team added to
the mix of Yeah, I can I can see them
getting to the Super Bowl as well, But we just
don't know because we have yet to see the Houston
Texans Deshaun Watson as the Cleveland Browns quarterback. We haven't
seen that. We haven't seen that that accuracy, that ability
(16:33):
to run, that ability to make plays, the ability to
come through when we need you. He hasn't been available.
And so for me, this is a make or break
year for Deshaun Watson. His contract is fully guaranteed, so
he'll be the starter. But as far as when you say,
who are the elite quarterbacks. Nobody, and I mean nobody
(16:56):
even thinks to save Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
He can changed that with a good year this year.
If he does not do that, I believe all may
be lost.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
I mean, Deshaun Washington hasn't thrown for a three hundred
yard games since twenty twenty one.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
It's a long time. That's a long time, almost too long.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
And you know what, I'm in so much support of
this young man. And you know, obviously you know all
the things that he's been to and to get the
contract and to be you know, the quarterback of the
Cleveland Browns. It's just like TJ said, if he's available,
(17:42):
then we can get back into the discussion of where
does this Shawn? Where is he at? As far as
being one of elite quarterbacks in the league, five years
is a long time ago. Four years is a long
time ago in football games. So if they have the
best defensive football so I believe from that standpoint, all
(18:07):
he really have to do is go out and manage
football games. If they can score twenty one to twenty
five points a game, then the Cleveland Browns are threat.
Because I don't see too many teams I don't care
who you are going into Cleveland or playing them on
the road from offensively that are going to score thirty
points on this Mouse Garrett led defense, I don't see
(18:29):
that happening. So for them, he just has to go
in and play sound football, not turn the football over.
He doesn't have to throw four thousand or forty five
hundred yards lean on his offensive line with it with
this running game and Mark Cooper and this bunch. Did
(18:52):
you all just see Nick? This guy chubbed over their
squad and six seven hundred pas bar bending man. I
thought that the young man would never play the ball again, right,
But the fact that he is in that kind of
mode to get back, it adds a whole different dimension
(19:13):
to the Cleveland Browns. If Nick Chuck can come back
and play football, I mean you can't count them out.
But it all falls on Deshaun Wahston. And if he
can go out and play football to the level that
we know that he can, then the AFC is a
(19:35):
different story because they are clear they are the dark
horse in this in the AFC.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Mean, what is DeShawn w Washington going to do?
Speaker 5 (19:45):
Let me ask you all this because a lot of
people like feel like Jameis Winston is a punchline to saying,
you know, quarterback play and this, that and the other.
They'll make fun of how many interceptions he's thrown, or
how he handles, you know, interviews and things he may say.
His soundbites are all punchlines. There's nothing comical about the
(20:06):
game of Jameis Winston.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Let's be clear here, the dude can ball.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
If just say, if history repeats itself and Deshaun Watson
is indeed the guaranteed two hundred plus million dollar franchise
quarterback that doesn't seem to be available for the team
as you mentioned being available, TJ.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
I mean they did it with.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
Joe Flacco last year, and Joe Flacco did an amazing
job of standing in.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
They bring in Jameis Winston.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
Jameis Winston had an opportunity to sit and learn from
Sean Payton in New Orleans, had a pretty golden opportunity
in some regards in New Orleans. It doesn't work out
quite that way. He ends up in Cleveland. What does
this do as for an opportunity for Jameis Winston. If
he gets the opportunity to play with this type of
(21:01):
skill and talent that they have and coaching that they
have in Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
If that opportunity presents itself, we're gonna see if he's
learned from his past mistakes, if he's learned from being
overly aggressive in history has shown us, with recent history,
that opportunity is gonna be there. It's gonna be there.
It's just a matter of when it comes. Are you
(21:30):
gonna be prepared? Are you going to be ready to
take advantage of that opportunity at some point? At some point,
not all, at some point, the majority of guys are backups.
Opportunity comes and you take advantage of it. And so
the Cleveland Browns and Deshaun Watson have an opportunity just
(21:51):
that division alone, Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, Russell Wilson, Justin Fields,
Deshaun Watson, Jameis Winston, just that division alone.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
It is it's tough.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
And we're not even talking to a f C East
in the AFC South now, Like there's just so many
good quarterbacks.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Just s in this division.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
I mean, you look, you look at the obviously the
best in the AFC West with Mahomes and Herbert. It
is going to be in exciting I'm looking forward to
this man, because there's gonna be some teams that come
from nowhere like they always do, and there's gonna be
some guys that play well that you don't expect and
where did he come from? But yeah, if recent history
(22:36):
of Deshaun Watson body betrays him again, we'll see.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
Yeah, I think that Shawn is going to be good man.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
I really do.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Anybody in this in this division can win the division.
I think we can all agree with that. I don't
think Baltimore is going to be as good as they
would defense to be last year without Patrick Queen. I
think that was a misstep by him by not resigning
to him and letting him go across the street to Pittsburgh.
I don't know how many times that's happened for somebody
(23:13):
to go for Pittsburgh to play for.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Baltimore or vice versa.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
So I think this is the only division where you
can clearly say that anybody can win it because of
the factor that we don't know if Deshaun Watson is
going to turn back into the great young talent that
he was in Houston. Everybody knows how I feel about
(23:38):
Joe Brow. I think he's the best quarterback in the world.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
I really do.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
If you put him in Kansas City, I think he
had the same results. I believe that he's that good
of a quarterback that he is the best young young
quarterback in this league. And for Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, I
think at some point in time we got to start
putting some of this onus on hardball because.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
He has the MVP quarterback.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
He let one of his defensive stars go and queen
and they're gonna have They have a window.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Every team has a window.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
And I just think for you know, Baltimore and Cleveland
with this great young defense, I think their windows are closing.
Mhm uh, you know faster than you would say Cincinnati,
because I think Cincinnati for the next ten years, they're
gonna be somebody to deal with. It's just gonna be
(24:43):
the fact, can they get it done?
Speaker 5 (24:45):
That's plexico burst right there. You got T. J. Hushman's out.
I'm LeVar Arrington. Let's take a quick trending break and
get it from our guy Brian Finley. Then we're gonna
continue the conversations going on. What you got feet?
Speaker 7 (24:58):
Yeah, guys, So we've got some Olympic action going on,
and women's and men's canoeing is going on, so we're
keeping an eye on that. Of course you're in the
news room. Some preliminary action. There also stimios A men's
soccer is emasculating New Zealand on the pitch.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Right now.
Speaker 7 (25:14):
It's three to nil the Americans into the thirty fourth minute,
so still in the first half. Already three goals scored
against New Zealand. There's also men's handball. I no, we're
all watching that. It's Germany eleven died in favor of
Sweden and right now they're still in the first half there.
As far as what else is going on, Carlos Alcarez
(25:35):
and Rafael and Nadal are teaming up in men's doubles,
of course, and they are on serve with a pair
from Argentina. It's two games apiece in that first set.
Men's surfing is just starting as well. And when it
comes to basketball, France just pulled off a win seventy
eight to sixty six against Brazil. Victor Webbin Yama nineteen points,
(25:56):
nine rebounds, four steels, three blocks and twos.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
And don't forget the team.
Speaker 7 (26:02):
USA men's basketball starts up their Olympic run in their
hopes of getting the gold. That quest starts tomorrow against Serbia,
and there might be a few guys out in the
lineup in the rotation for the Americans, as Joelle Embiid
and Anthony Davis Boast both missed practice today because of
illnesses that according to head coach Steve Kerr. And of
(26:23):
course this game coming up on Sunday against Serbia and
Nicola Jokich. Earlier basketball games Germany, we stans Japan ninety
seven to seventy seven, Australia taking it to Spain ninety
two to eighty Josh Giddy seventeen points, eight rebounds and
eight assists. Also Greece and Canada. They are going to
(26:43):
be battling it out on the court at three Eastern times,
so in about an hour and a half. And lastly, guys,
we do have some updates from another soccer match involving
Paraguay at Israel where Paraguay has a one mier lead
in the first ten. As I get it back to
LeVar Arrington, Tjhuschmanzada and Plexico Burst, guys, we've got surfing,
(27:06):
we've got canoeing, and you know what, it all goes
down here in the newsroom. We've got it all handled
for you in the meanwhile, back to you.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
Guys, got I love appreciate it up, hey Brian Finley, Yeah,
canoeing and surfing, I could dig it.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Listen.

Speaker 5 (28:23):
Hey, some of y'all need some new tires man, make

tire rack dot com.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
The way tire buying should be.
Speaker 5 (28:32):
Somebody who's got a lot of tire tread on their tire,
got to bring got to bring in the goat's name.
So far the current goat and Patrick Mahomes. Now, there
was some interesting poking of fun taking place with our
boy ap uh with with the with the Raiders, the
Las Vegas Raiders calling up basically calling out the Kermit
(28:54):
the Frog deal. You know, they had Kermit the Frog
dolls and stuff like this. You know, at one point,
do we have the sound on on Pat Bow on
him talking about them asking him to asking him to
do a uh impersonation of of of Kermit the Fraud.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
I'm talking right now, that's it, Okay.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
So he acknowledges the fact that and and and I
love this about Patrick Mahomes. He acknowledges the fact that
he does have a Kermit the Fraud type of voice.
With with the way he speaks personally, I think it's
it adds to the uniqueness of the phenomenon that he is.
He probably will have some amazing voiceover jobs and opportunities
(29:43):
uh at some point in his life and his career,
maybe post post career playing.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
But Fellas, hey, yeah, why not?
Speaker 5 (29:54):
There was poking up fun that took place by the
last Vegas Raiders, clearly in the same UH division as
as the Super Bowl winning UH Chantsie Chiefs. Here's what
Patrick Mahomes had to say to that.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
I probably seen the.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Video the Raiders with the yeah you because that's something
that you're kind of our apartmentalized and used getting ready
to play them. Yeah, I're still earlier in the year.
Kind of stuff like that happens. He'll get handled when
it gets handled.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
It'll get handled when it gets handled.
Speaker 5 (30:30):
Translation Fellas, I can tell you what mine is, but
I'm gonna turn it over to y'all. Translation. Did they
poke the bear? I mean, he's already a beer. That's
a woke. What did they do? Did they Are they
in the stall with with the bull? Did they tied up?
Did they poke them to the irritated? Is he going
to buck them real bad? Is it going to be worse?
Speaker 2 (30:47):
How should we interpret the trolling from one team in
the same division as the Super Bowl champs and the
best in the game.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Right now, I mean, does it really matter in the
grand scheme of things. When they play each other, everybody's
gonna play hard. Nobody's gonna be like, oh yeah, I'm
gonna play harder because what they did the Mahomes in
the off season in training camp with the Kermit they
gonna play hard anyway.
Speaker 5 (31:16):
Now they said, my quarterbacks sound like Kermit the Frog.
Now after the game, after the game that there will
be a lot said, but leading up to it, a
lot of people they make these big deals about what
goes on prior to a game.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
You're just not thinking about that.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
You want to play good, regardless if anything is said
about you negative or not. And so I actually now
that will put a little more sauce on it. I
look forward to that. The Raiders defensively are going to
be really good, and so I look forward to that
matchup when they do play. I look forward to seeing
(31:57):
will there be any extra curricular activities after the whistle
when he trash talking, which I'm sure there will be.
But hey, Mahons, just matter of fact, Basically, we'll see
when we plan, we'll see if they're gonna have that
same energy when we play. What he's saying had that
same energy when we like what he's saying, no doubt about.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
Hey, man, listen, Ap knows exactly what he's doing. Man,
he's already came out and said, listen, we gotta take
the head off the snake, and he is the whole
damn snake. I mean, he knows what he's up against
that division. You know, outside of Justin Herbert and the Chargers, uh,
Kansas City, they are this case and you know that
(32:40):
you cannot win the division without uh, but Patrick mahomes
so Kansas City, Man, I know AP's doing.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
It's it's all psychological.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
I think they're gonna be a lot better on defense
this year than people, UH perceive him to be because
there's one thing I know. He had a great teacher
from a defensive from a defensive coaching standpoint, and that's
Bag and he's in Kansas City. So it's a mirror
(33:13):
kind of image when they play each other because they
know each other so well. That's why the games are
so are going to be so good moving forward. But
for Patrick Mahomes Man and all the fun that they
poking down, and he's like, man, I don't care, man,
I don't winn three chips already.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
I'm going to get me a fourth one.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
And I believe that they are going to do it,
because you know what, they just got better on offense.
And I always go back to this Tyreek Hill leaving
the Kansas City Chiefs. It only made him a better
quarterback because he could no longer just throw the ball
(33:55):
up fifty sixty seventy yards in there and watch Tyreek
Hill or none of the football and have all these
dynamic plays. This man learned the game of football and
coverages and offense the things that he can do and
cannot do. So now you take Tyreek Hill away from him,
Travis Kelcey is a Hall of Fame tight end.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Now you have all the.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
Institute Xavier Worthy, you bring in Hollywood Brown guys that
can still take the Topahao defense. So now what you
have to do is these guys can outrun you. And
now Travis Kelsey is going to be working more underneath
than anything. So this offense has gotten better. Spags is
(34:40):
still there and they played Baltimore Ravens opening Opening Day,
and they got the Kansas and they got the Cincinnati
Bengals at home. I think they start off oning to
those two games are going to be meaningful when it
comes to AFC home and Van and it's playoff time,
(35:02):
and I believe that they're gonna start out the season
two to zero. They want to beat Cincinnati and they're
gonna beat Baltimore and home. Fill Avantas goes to the
Kandessey the Chiefs right off the bat.
Speaker 5 (35:14):
That's plus Coe Burst, It's TJ. Huschman's Ada. I'm Leavar Arrington.
We're gonna wrap this show up. On the other side
of the break, the Vikings. They took a horrible, tragic
situation and made a good a good They did something
very good. We're gonna talk about that on the other
side of the break. You're listening to Up on Game.
This is Fox Sports Radio. All right, welcome back in.
(35:38):
It's Up on Game. We're live from the tyrack dot
Com studios. It's been a hell of a show, a
lot of quarterback talk, a lot of things going on.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
If you missed it, make sure you check out the podcast.
Wherever it is you get your podcast from.
Speaker 5 (35:52):

in with the jc AS Show. He talks about a
lot of cool things. He's got great stick. You'll enjoy
his show, so make sure you stay tuned into that.
But before we get up out of here, Fellas wanted
to bring a tragic story but turns into a pretty
(36:15):
pretty compelling and very very cool uh story as well.
We all know about the tragic loss of life and
the crash of Vikings rookie Kyrie Jackson. He was just
laid the rest uh not on Friday and and and
just a.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
Tragic, sad, sad story.
Speaker 5 (36:37):
But in the midst of all of that, Fellas the
Vikings are paying Kyrie Jackson's signing bonus to his family. Now,
I know there's a lot of things that people say,
and you know people do, and sometimes it's just full
of hidden reasons and agendas. But you gotta believe this
is one of the coolest acts of kindness.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
That you could ever hear of. I mean to award.
Speaker 5 (37:04):
The the the signing bonus, to to the to the
fall and gone too soon Kyrie Jackson to his family.
I thought that was really worth us having a quick
conversation about and acknowledging, because that is to me, that's
his stand up as it gets Yeah.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
It's uh, his family, his friends, they will forever be
scarred losing a son, a brother, a cousin, and a friend.
What the Will family the Vikings are doing is remarkable.
They're paying that money to his trust, to his estate.
(37:45):
Coach O'Connell, Man, all you can do is applaud them.
You applaud them for for for doing this. The young
man with his entire life ahead of him. Man, it
just when I because I got kids his age. When
you see these things, it hurts you. As you get older,
at least for me, become a little more sensitive to
(38:08):
certain things. But a young man that has his entire
life ahead of him, his career, and for it to
end this way once again, I just want to applaud
the Wealth family to Minnesota Vikings Coach O'Connell for this gesture.
Speaker 4 (38:23):
I mean, what else more needs to be said? Man,
This young man is you know, dreamed and worked and
you know to get to this point, and tragically it
was cut short and for the you know, for all
the bad things and that you know, everybody has to
(38:47):
say about you know, the Shield and the league, and
this is one thing that it's it's right man, And
I'm just you know, uh, for the family, for them
obviously young man has lost his life, and just like
(39:08):
TJ said, man for the for the Minnesota Vikings in
this organization and what family man to step forward and
to continue to you know, to award his family for
you know, all the hard work that this young man
put in. Man, it's just a standing up thing to do.
So you know, it's a it's a sad thing. But
at the same time, uh, you know, they still won't
(39:32):
get to see as young that that they're young. We
won't get to see him play football. And at the
end of the day, man, I think it's just uh,
you know, sad, happy, but man, young man still lost
his life. And but good good for the Minnesota Vikings. Yeah,
good for them. And listen like you mentioned, uh t J.
Speaker 5 (39:55):
Yeah, I have I have a son the same age
as him as well.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
And youorry about those things.
Speaker 5 (40:01):
You worry about ever getting those types of calls and
having to deal with what that would be like having
that type of loss. So my love, my prayers go
out to them.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
I know that.
Speaker 5 (40:13):
Community very very very well, the wise community of the
Upper Marlborough community. My mom and father still live in
that community. So much love, much respect. I can't imagine that,
But I also feel like that's one of the coolest
things that an organization could do in the midst of
a tragedy. So all right, you guys have heard the show,
(40:36):
You've enjoyed the show. Hopefully we'll be back next week.
Talk to you guys, But right now, Jonas Knox is
