give it, damn my boydom. We wanted most maartens.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Listen, Oregon is a tough venue to play in. I
played my first road game in college at Michigan State.
We played at Oregon and we basically got Achille Smith drafted.
I think man we walked into halftime dog it was
forty two to zero. It was one of those I
(02:36):
had never been beat like that.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
In my life.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
But uh, yeah, you know, my spots rebound next week,
We'll be back. But uh, you know, just a tough
place to go play in Oregon. I'm pretty sure that
you know that as well. How many times did you
win in Oregon?
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I only played in Oregon one time? And what was
the results? I believe we lost? What should mean you believe? Now?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
You know?
Speaker 1 (02:58):
If you want game? You know I'm a junior college baby,
and so did you win all those teams? My first
year at Oregon State, I was told I was gonna
have to stop playing football because my back started really
bothering me. So I don't think I played in that game.
So I only played Oregon one time. I'm want to
(03:18):
know against Oregon it was my last year. I only
played them once. I only played like four games my
first year, maybe five? Yeah, convenience something like that. But
it is loud.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
It's it's always been loud.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Oregon is there powerhouse man or Oregon is now to me,
they're turning into one of these flag ship programs in university.
It's like it's a destination. Like you get offered by Oregon,
you happy about that?
Speaker 3 (03:44):
And you know the crazy thing is, my son has
been offered by Oregon and we're debating on taking the visit.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Come on, bro, who he been talking to? Well, he's
no dame guy.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
You know that.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
No no, no, no, no, listen, you know what.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Say say no more, say no more. As soon as
as soon as we get off air, I'm calling them.
Were about to be about to get Elijah on the
visit because my boy, my boy is I think he's
the best receiver coach in the country. To be honest
with you, oh he is, no, no question, no question.
He the best receiver coach in the country. At Oregon
(04:24):
Junior Adams. They all know it too. He so all
those boys that just got drafted from U dub he
recruited them all.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
He recruited. He coached Cooper Cup, he coached Pooka Nakua.
He coached all them boys.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
But people don't realize he had Raemdonsay, Jalen McMillan. He
recruited and developed them they first couple of years at
University of Washington and then this year I believe all
three Organ receivers gonna get drafted with Avans Stewart, Tad Johnson,
and Trey Shawn.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
So yeah, yeah, we're gonna set We're gonna set that up.
We're gonna set that up. All right, let's go now.
You know who else is trying to set something up?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Is uh, mister Davonte Adams, man, what do you make
of early in the season and the off season? Actually,
Davonte Adams isn't happy with the Raiders.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
He wants out.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Myself from watching that receiver documentary or that Receiver series, right,
I felt like he didn't want to be in Las Vegas.
He wasn't happy with the Raiders quarterback situation and that
was just me while he don't want to be here. Well,
(05:39):
he's finally come out and said, at least it's been
reported that he has requested a trade. Your thoughtst just
talk through this, your thoughts being Davante, your thoughts being
the Raiders and AP I.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Don't like it, man.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
You know, Davante's my guy, He's my brother, man. And
from all the energy that I took from when I
went to the game last year, the last home game
the Oakland, I mean the Raiders versus the Denver Broncos
and I and I sat in the team meeting watching
(06:13):
listen to him speak to the team him in Max.
You know, he was all in and you know, you know,
I sat down and have a conversation with a man. Listen,
he's one of the he's going to be a Hall
of Fame wide receiver. But I think you know, he's
dealing with a hamstring right now, and I think that
that's a little bit of the frustration that he's dealing with.
(06:34):
He has eighteen catches for two hundred and nine yards
in the season in three games, and the only way touchdown.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
They say he dealing with a hamstring. You know, when
we don't want to play, you know what we say,
hamstring and back. But listen, man, you're gonna deal with
adversity in this game. Man, that's just what it is.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
And we haven't always been in been in exacting, you know, positions.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
That's whide receivers. You gotta go out and play.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
And now that you know, we know that the Raiders
don't have the best quarterback situation in the world. So
he's getting a little older and he wants to position
himself to win the world championship. The Raiders aren't in
a position to compete for a world championship right now,
that's not where they are.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
And he went to.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Vegas because Derek Carr was there. He wanted to be
reunited with his college quarterback, to have a chance to
win and to have a quarterback. And he's you know,
the time clock is moving on him. So he wants
to put himself in a position to win a world
championship and it's not and it's not in Las Vegas.
(07:43):
And I feel his pain, but I'm a little disappointed
in the fact that you know, you know, he was
all in where the Raiders were, you know, coming into
this season, and just four games into the season, he's like,
I want to be out and that's just not how you,
(08:05):
you know, be a leader on this football team moving forward,
knowing that the guys in his locker room that you
don't want to be a part of this team.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Man. I see both sides of it.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
As a player, especially a player that you're on the
back end of your career, I will say Davante probably
has three four years left in the league, really good years.
You want to take control of your career, and you
see the situation when I went to Las Vegas. This
is Davante Carr was a quarterback. I don't want to
(08:41):
play with the quarterback that I feel can't get me
the ball, because one I'm gonna be frustrated.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
And we saw that.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
We saw that on that receiver series. He was so
frustrated at the quarterback situation. They come into this season
and in his eyes, they didn't fix it. But Dj,
they didn't fix it. You know what doesn't make sense,
even even him leaving Green Bay and going to the
Raiders and playing with Derek Carr. That's not the best
(09:13):
situation for you to be in, if you know, they
try to get a championship. So I wouldn't understand why
he made that move.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I wouldn't. I wouldn't have done that either.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
And so now it's if he's making these moves, he's
making a bunch of moves that aren't right, Like he's like,
why did you make this?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Wait?
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Wait, wait you're making what are you doing? But at
this point, I don't fault him for doing it. I
don't like it, but I don't fault him for going
to fall. I don't fault this. This this is this
is your career, and you saw that on that series. Bro,
this dude was so pissed off with the Raiders situation
last year. Y'all gonna make me lose my f in mind,
(09:51):
y'all gonna get me killed. Like he was so frustrated.
But AP was on the something because at the combine,
I'm at the combine, I go talk with the Raiders
all the front. Ap straight up told me DJ j
Down is the best quarterback in his draft. It ain't
even close. We got to find a way to get him.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
So what he told me, he told me this at
the combine, he the best quarterback in his draft. We
got to find a way to get him. Obviously that
didn't happen. But AP saw something, and he knew something.
Nobody thought Jaden was the best quarterback in his draft,
and he looks as right now, it's not even close.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
He was telling me the whole entire time the same
exact thing.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Hey, we gotta we gotta do whatever we can to
get him. Obviously that didn't happen. So AP knew that
the quarterback position that it needed work and they couldn't
find that replacement.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
So it sucks.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
And now that's what you said though it the locker room.
You're a leader on this team. The locker room, they
look up to you. So now they see this when
you become a player a Davante stature and things aren't
going the way you would like? Are you going to
(11:13):
do this because you saw Davante do this? You out
this is the domino exactly. You don't want to go
through the adversity because you saw, Hey, Davante did this,
so maybe I can do this. That that to me
is the only thing that I'm not so certain of.
(11:33):
But if just sating, go to the Jets, man, just
send a second round pick, send the player or whatever.
He's not coming over here. Yeah, yes, yes, yes, he
wants to play with Aaron Rodgers. Now what happens with
Garrett Wilson? What happens with his targets? You signed Mike
Williams to a big deal? Alan Lazard is Aaron Rodgers homie.
(11:57):
Somebody got to take a back seat. And of those
three guys, I named two of them. So Mike Williams
got to take a back seat. Alan Lazzard got to
take a back seat because Garrett Wilson is it. It's
not gonna happen. So to me, this is going to
get very interesting how how this plays out. It really is,
because watch he has a hand. The Raiders want a number.
(12:20):
They want a second round draft pick for DeVonta Adams. Honestly,
if I'm if I'm the Kansas City Chiefs, I give
up a first round pick to get Davantage. If I'm
the Kansas City chief Bro, I was trade them in
the division. Just went down the exact same thing. Stole
one with Xavier word that he's gonna be there for
(12:42):
a very long time. Offer up a first round draft
pick to the Raiders to see if they jump on
it and trade them.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
In the division.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Bro, and that first round pick for the Chiefs. That's
really it's gonna be so such a late round. I
mean it's gonna be one of the last picks in
the first round. Absolutely, it's gonna be one of the
last picks in the first round. Yeah, I don't think
the Raiders would do it. But if I'm want they
(13:12):
want a second round pick. If I'm the Raiders off
of my first round pick.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
If I'm I'm off, I'm with you on that. Hey,
I want this take this one.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
He gonna kill with uh, with my homes and in
that office. But I don't know if the Raiders will
do it. But if you get what you want, why
wouldn't you If you're the Raiders, you don't, you don't
care about We got a first rounder, let's do it.
I don't know if the Chiefs would do that, but
Davante with Patrick Mahomes Rice, this this could get interesting.
(13:49):
But yeah, I'm if I'm the Jets, I'm giving them
that second round pick. We're getting this deal done. But
we'll see and watch watch.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
What I say to get he's not coming over here.
Watch that. Watch that.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
I believe that you said. Watch that hamstring be healthy.
It's gonna be as soon as the trade go. Davanta
has been clear to practice. Yeah, he is not risking.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
No, don't he's I.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Think my god's taking an injury. I don't think it
to that degree. I mean, come on, man, Okay, he's
faking an injury. Listen, man, I'm gonna don't forgive my
guy a little bit more done than that. If it
was like back in hamstring you get there, Mr, they'd
be like, oh, string grade two hamstring strain. But it's
(14:38):
really not that bad.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
No, hurt right here. This is where I hurt at
hed know.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
So we were gonna wish uh Davante and our boy
ap with the Raiders.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Uh very well, but you just you just got to
make it happen, man, You just got to make it happen.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
Welcome back in up on Game Live from Tireck dot
com studios.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
I'm TJ.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Houschman's out alongside Plexico Burus. We got some news and
I don't know if it was news because I.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Uh, the NFL wanted to get involved in this. They
have come out and said they will play zero role
in the return of Tua. So that will be a
decision between the Miami Dolphins two in his family.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
What do you think about that? Where the National Football Leagues? Hey,
we out of this. This has nothing to do with us.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
The Miami Dolphins too in his family his uh circle,
You guys make the decision.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
We want no parts of it. I mean that's a
has always been correct. I mean the NFL has not
you know, stepped in and you know, uh made a
decision based off of any player that I can remember
from a concussion standpoint, on injury standpoint, unless uh, you know,
(16:24):
he's not one hundred you know, healthy or able to play.
And I think this is you know, the NFL basically
saying that we don't have any say somebody we want,
We don't want to be liable for anything moving forward.
You have your team doctors and they are supposed to
be thirty two of the best doctors in the world
(16:47):
from a performance sports standpoint. So the medical Chief Officer,
Alan Seals has already came out and said, you know what,
we are not involved in the decision of to a return.
We trust their medical staff to do the correct thing
as far as putting them up on a football field,
(17:09):
and that's what it's going to be for to moving forward.
He's suffered his third concussion that's on record, and it
wasn't even one of these you know, egregious hits or
you know, player hit hitting his head on the ground
or whatever.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
The case may be. It was just basically a random tackle,
a regular tackle that damar hambling. You know, basically it
was a regular phone tackle. It was nothing egregious or
violent about that hit, and I think that is the
most alarming thing for me for him moving forward. It
(17:47):
could just be a regular play.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
And it puts him in that state of you know him,
you know, being concussed or land on the ground. So
I just think for the Miami Dalk, they're going to
make the decision based off of what Tour, what he
tells them, how he feels, because we know that I
(18:10):
like Huntley. I think he's a good young player. But
if the Miami Dolphins don't want to lose this entire season,
they're going to have to make a decision to put
Tour back on the football field if they want to
be taken seriously moving forward in the AFC East, winning
the division, getting to the playoffs. Because as of right now,
(18:36):
based off what we have seen over the last two
weeks from a quarterback and standpoint, the Miami Dolphins aren't
going to win many football games.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
So too is going to make the decision.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
He's going to make the call and Mike mcdaimes and
that training staff are going to put him back on
the football field on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Yeah, because you know it's actually been reported he basically
now is symptom free.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
He's okay. But it is just the.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
That that thought that that image of Tour on the
ground the first time and then it happened again this
year me his body stiffens up, and many thought the
NFL would get involved because of that image.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
That is that going to further scare parents from allowing their.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Kids to play football because they've seen that image multiple
times now with the same player, And does the NFL
want to avoid that?
Speaker 2 (19:47):
That that was why many thought the NFL may get involved.
But I agree with you.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
To me, it's a team and player decision, specifically the player.
I don't if you were too a plex how would
would would you play? Man?
Speaker 3 (20:07):
I was just having this conversation, you know, a couple
of days ago with Fred t and Fred Taylor, you know,
going back and forth with injuries and playing and my
motto for me as a player, if I could walk,
I was playing. That was just myself, man, Bruce Sternham
(20:31):
separated shoulder, you know, whatever the case may be, ac joint.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
PCL.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
If I was walking, I was playing, and that was
just me, you know, showing my team and you know
the guys that I putted with that, I was willing
to risk whatever I had going on because I wanted
to be available for my guys.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
That was just me.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
If I could walk, I was playing, and man was
probably ten times. There's no way I should have been
playing in these football games, but I wanted to be
there for my team and my guys.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
And you understand what I'm talking about. Yeah, plex we played,
you understand it.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
We played the Baltimore Ravens and I was probably on
one of my crazy moments of the game, and I
tried to run Ray over.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
He just kind of stood. He just stood me up.
He didn't budge, and I believe it was Bart Scott
or Terrell Suggs. They came and hit me right in
my back and I was like, what the hell was that?
It was like it was like a tingle bro.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
I got up. I could barely walk. Finished the game,
but when I got home, I couldn't walk, I could
barely sleep. I go get the MRI I got. I
cracked four bones in my back, the transverse process. Those
are the bones that protect your spine. How literally I could.
I was literally scooting around. I couldn't even walk upstairs.
(22:11):
The next week, we played the Pittsburgh Steeters.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
I played.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
I didn't miss one game, because it's what you just said.
I didn't miss a game. And then I had never
seen anybody with that injury. And then about six, seven, eight,
maybe ten years later, I see somebody with the injury.
Do them dudes missing four or five games? They was
missing four or five games with the injury that I
(22:36):
didn't miss any But it was that mentality of what, Man,
if I can walk, I can play, I can jog. Yeah, yeah,
y'all good. I can play, y'all can shoot me up? Yeah,
let's take this shot. And that's what people that's what
people don't realize. Like you get that shot, that needle'll
be about ten inches long.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
You let's go.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Let me, let me get get an EPI duel on
Wednesday and play on Sunday. Bro like crazy, you're supposed
to be out like ten to fourteen days.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
No, I'm good to go. Let's roll n two hours.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
But this is different though, because there ain't no shot
for this concussion. It's not there's there's no shot for this.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
And when when I look at it, TJ like you understand, man,
and you you've been dinged and you've been hitting the head.
It's a different thing when it's just like a random tackle,
it's like a it's like a know, logical thing versus
that like the head trauma. Yeah, that's the scary part
(23:37):
because he can just be running to hit the ground
or falling and going to that state.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
I think if it happens again, I think that they're
going to have to make a decision. What if it
happens again, and it's going to happen again, because it's
not even violent yes, or gregious hits that he's taken.
It happens again, this is it is almost like we
you know, shout out to the Dodgers. I'm headed to
the game the night. Oh my greatness. Move Hey, I'm
(24:06):
not gonna lieplaxu. I'm nervous about playing the Padres. Man,
I'm nervous that we got to play the Padres. I'm
their team is so good.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
But we got this. I'll be there.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
It's like baseball. He had strike too, Yeah, he has strike.
If it happens again, this gotta be it.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
And ask from a.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Mental standpoint, you are back on the field from your
third concussion or incident or whatever the case may have.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Your lyric what other case may be.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Man from a mental standpoint, like, how can you concentrate
and focus on playing football and being the best that
you need to be for the team. If you're worried
about having one of another episode.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
How can you play?
Speaker 1 (24:56):
He'll be able to do it reluctantly, but any time
nurse bodies around him, he getting rid of that ball.
He's gonna be nervous that you can play the game.
But that that's that's human nature. He can say he's
not gonna do it. That's that's human nature. That it's
gonna happen. Bodies get around him.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Let me get the ball. Is a reaction game.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
No I know, I know, but there's just no way
that that's not going to be in the back of
his head. It's human nature. So he gonna be getting
rid of the ball, a sap to the checkdown, first
read to the checkdown, and then as he gets comfortable
it's not good, then I think things may change. I
(25:40):
don't know, but I wish Toua his family the best,
nothing but the best, because I've met mat Ta such
a nice individual. He's a kind hearted human being, so
I wish he nothing but the best in this situation.
Man hoping that he can play if that's what he
wants to do as long as he wants to. But
(26:02):
I don't believe the league wants to continue to see
that image. Now we'll we'll move on, but before we do,
we got to check in with our guy, Isaac long
Crime I low on the updates.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
What you got baby?
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Well we start with college football and number seven Penn
State and UCLA are scoreless with three point eighteen left
to play in the first quarter. Wonder what our beloved
Fox Sports Radio colleague LeVar Arrington thinks about this, MoMA. No,
we will continue to check in with LeVar and his
reactions throughout the course of the show. UCLA quarterback Ethan
(26:42):
Garber's out due to injury, so Justin Martin got the
start at quarterback for the Bruins today. He's completed six
of eight passes for thirty six yards. Number twenty five
Texas A and M out to an early lead over
ninth ranked Missouri.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
How about Amary getting in now? Touchdown? Daniels heavy Shurst.
Speaker 5 (27:03):
To call on k Zne and Texas A and M
would add a field goal, So they've got a ten
tohing lead over ninth rank Missouri with five minutes remaining
in the first quarter, and SMU has a fourteen to
seven lead at number twenty two Louisville with six thirteen
left to play in the first quarter. NFL, the Pittsburgh
Steelers today removed the injury designation from defensive end Larry
(27:26):
Ogunjobi so he will play on Sunday Night Football against
the Cowboys. That New England Patriots downgraded safety Gabrail Peppers
two out for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins due
to his shoulder injury. Today's Major League Baseball playoff action
gets under way just after the top of the hour
with Game one of the American League Division Series from Cleveland,
with the Guardians hosting the Detroit Tigers. Finally in the NBA.
(27:48):
A short time ago, Lebron James reposted an article on
social media that claimed he joined the Lakers a few
years ago partly because of the way they hand the
final seasons of Kobe Bryant's career. Well, Lebron commented, and
I quote, I came to the Lakers because I wanted
to help Genie win championships, bring that spark back to
(28:11):
the Lakers and see my family blossom in SOCl. Why
would I make a decision on how someone else is treated.
Mama always said, quote stay out of grown folks business
unquote on that note back to you.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Guys, well yeah, I mean I'll stay out of grown
folks business, sing hey, and ain't none of my business.
So that's what they say. But that's what we do,
we and everybody business as we partaking this show Thursday night.
Plex week one, everybody, I don't know if Kirk Cousins
(28:48):
still got it. Week two, Kirk Cousins may be washed.
Week three, like yeah that Achilles, Yeah, man, He's just
not gonna be the same. Kirk Cousins is through for
five hundred in nine yards and four touchdowns. Jeez, what
do you five hundred yards and one like that in
(29:09):
college football? I didn't even see the five hundred.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
That's the crazy part of about this game is that
I didn't even see the five hundred. I don't remember
five hundred passing yards by Kirk Cousins than this football games.
If he throws the five hundred yards, why is Kyle
pitched not more involved in this offense? They have to
(29:32):
find ways to get put this young man in positions
to where he can find favorable matchups so he can
use his abilities to take this offense to the next level.
They won the game the other day. He threw five
hundred yards and Kyle Pitch didn't have one hundred. Drake
(29:55):
London had a great game. That they are, you know,
putting John Robinson in better situations so he can go
out and be an athlete and be a player. But
I gotta go back and just look at the five
hundreds because it didn't look like five hundred to me,
but it was five o nine and four touchdowns. They
did get a divisional win for them, But I just
(30:16):
still don't know where the Falcons are, uh, you know,
competing in this division because it's still up for grads
if you ask me. Because the New Orleans Saints are
all over the place.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
You know, Baker, he's great one weekend, then he then
the next weekend with a bill with the real Baker Mayfield.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Please stand up. He takes you back to the old
Baker then, So you.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Don't believe there's a front runner, You still believe that
division can be won.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
By it can be. It's a three team race. We're
gonna take the Panthers out of it. Yeah, we're just
gonna take the Panthers out of it, I mean right now.
But it's just it's just I don't know who is
going to be in control of this vision come you know, December,
going into the playoffs. You just don't know which one
(31:08):
of these teams are going to take the commanding lead
and you know, win this division. But the Atlanta Falcons,
they just got to find a way man to really
get Pitts involved in his offense because it just doesn't
make any sense to me bringing a talent to guy
like this.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
You know, you can put him at the three, you
can put him at the two.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
You can you line them up on the edge and
empty or whatever the case may be, get them to
get some linebackers. Uh you know, you know, playing in space.
But you can't take this guy and put him at
the ax or whatever the case may be and ask
him to go out and beat cornerbacks.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
It's just not going to happen. So they did.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
They won the game five hundred yards passing, but they
got to find a way to get this man more
involved in his offense.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Kyle Pitts had a great rookie season, tear his knee
and he hasn't been the same since moving his speed
and you last year you give him a pass because
it was his first year coming off the knee injury.
This year, I think many felt like he would be
the Kyle Pitts that he was his rookie season, and
(32:18):
we may we may be starting to see glimpses in
some of that now, but I felt like this week
he was heavily involved. I mean, he had seven catches.
That's a lot more than zero, and that's what he
had to prior, think week prior, And so I get
what you're saying. If this offense is going to be
(32:40):
dynamic each week, this needs to be the norm. So
moving forward, Kyle Pitts needs between five and eight not
targets catches per game, and so he needs fight eight
receptions each game in my opinion, and I believe this
is a step in the right direction. The passing game
(33:02):
should and will move through Drake London. Darnell Mooney would
probably be in my opinion, he should be the third
option behind Drake, then Kyle Pitts, then Darnell Mooney. But
I mean, he had a great game. Darnell Mooney had
a great even with the drop on third down, he
catched that he probably could score. I mean, but it happens,
(33:24):
and so Kirk Cousins played the hell of a game.
I thought going into the season when they acquired Judon
and the NA signed Simmons, I said all day the
team to beat. The Saints have surprised me. They really
have they They've really surprised me. I didn't think they
would be as good as they are, and so I'm
with you. I believe, I believe the Falcons are the
(33:45):
front runners, but I could see the Saints and or
the Bucks winning it. This division is going to be
better than many many thought it would be heading into
the season because nobody thought the Saints would do anything.
I know, some people thought the Panthers are be much
better and compete. Obviously that isn't the case, and the Bucks.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Won the division.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
I believe last year they were nine and eight, and so,
so you going to this season, the Falcons may contend
with Kurt Nah, the Saints aren't gonna be too good.
So yeah, this this division is up for grabs. But
five hundred yards, I'm with you. It didn't seem like
(34:26):
it was five hundred yards, but it didn't.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
But hey, it was. It was one of the coldest lines.
Even Roy Jones was forced to lean back. I was like, oh.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Man, welcome back in to up on game line for
the Tarreck dot Com studios. That's plexicom Barras, I'm TJ.
Houschmann Zada. I guess there's problems in New England. And
like when I when I read stories like this, I'm like,
why why the page they're going to remove? They're removing
(35:01):
in podcasts suggesting that the locker room is pissed off
over who's starting a quarterback, Like what Jacoby Brissett's playing,
You guys are losing.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Drake May's going to play. You guys are still going
to lose. They're going to lose. Like how was there
a mutiny? What? What are they mad about? Like, I
don't get it.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
If Drake May was ready to play and he was
heading shoulders better than Jacoby Berson, not even heading shoulders,
if he was just better, he would be playing, they're
saving him from himself, and so the mutiny like you guys, not,
(35:48):
y'all don't have to fire power to these other teams.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
You're not gonna win anyway. What what what do you think, man,
listen to Rob Mayo. Is saving Drake may from the team,
is what he's doing because based off of everything that
I saw this young man doing college in the ACC,
(36:10):
he wasn't an elite quarterback coming into the draft. He's
not going to be an elite quarterback in the NFL.
You just look at his delivery and him throwing the football.
I don't think. I really don't think that he had
he played enough games in college to really get a
true assessment of how good this young man is. I
(36:35):
think it was not Draw Mayo's pick. He did not
draft Drake May Cool drafted him Robert Craft in the general, Manason,
it was not his pick.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
You believe Mayo didn't want Drake may He did.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
Not, because if Draw Mayo would have drafted Drake May
then Drake may would have been the opening day start
based off of his knowledge and understanding and knowing the
game of football. Drop Mail is a very intelligent uh
(37:10):
football player and coach. I've played against him several times.
He's a highly intelligent man, and it was not his pick.
So that is the reason. While Jacoby Brissett is the
starting quarterback for the New England Pagers, right now.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
I mean, I just even if he is, and I
don't see it being Drake mains in a game. Now
we're gonna win games. That's not gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
Nope.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
And so whether it's Brissette or not, you're not gonna win.
The fact that what I'm about, I can't even But
how the hell did they beat the Bengals in week one?
That is like mind boggling to me. And we had
this conversation, me and you. That is mind boggling that
they beat us. That is crazy, knowing they're not really
(38:02):
gonna throw the ball. They just gonna try to run, run, run,
and that's what they did. That's another story. I mean,
that's water under the bridge. But the players in the
locker room need to understand. Unless Drake may just look
that good in practice, but you're going against scout team,
it's less stressful. I don't know what it is, but
(38:22):
the players in New England, man, y'all gotta come to
grips that y'all just not gonna have a good season.
Speaker 5 (38:28):
It is what it is.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Hopefully he will be ready for the future. The first
hour is over, y'all, make sure y'all stay locked in

Speaker 3 (01:30):
You know, the wind blowing whildly about, you know, seven
eight miles an hour out of the southeast, so clear
sky like the weather. Yeah man, my boys got a
big win last night that Paul Capel took down Don
Bosco twenty one and twenty in a nail biter. And
Don Bosco's supposed to be pretty good, correct, Yeah man,
So we came out there, came out there, we got
(01:52):
at one point win Paul six and oh and uh
hey man, another healthy game, another great game.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Keep on marching, baby, So.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
That feels good. Your son's high school team they won
the game. Michigan State lost. So you're like, I don't
give it, damn my boydom. We wanted most maartens.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Listen, Oregon is a tough venue to play in. I
played my first road game in college at Michigan State.
We played at Oregon and we basically got Achille Smith drafted.
I think man we walked into halftime dog it was
forty two to zero. It was one of those I
(02:36):
had never been beat like that.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
In my life.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
But uh, yeah, you know, my spots rebound next week,
We'll be back. But uh, you know, just a tough
place to go play in Oregon. I'm pretty sure that
you know that as well. How many times did you
win in Oregon?
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I only played in Oregon one time? And what was
the results? I believe we lost? What should mean you believe? Now?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
You know?
Speaker 1 (02:58):
If you want game? You know I'm a junior college baby,
and so did you win all those teams? My first
year at Oregon State, I was told I was gonna
have to stop playing football because my back started really
bothering me. So I don't think I played in that game.
So I only played Oregon one time. I'm want to
(03:18):
know against Oregon it was my last year. I only
played them once. I only played like four games my
first year, maybe five? Yeah, convenience something like that. But
it is loud.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
It's it's always been loud.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Oregon is there powerhouse man or Oregon is now to me,
they're turning into one of these flag ship programs in university.
It's like it's a destination. Like you get offered by Oregon,
you happy about that?
Speaker 3 (03:44):
And you know the crazy thing is, my son has
been offered by Oregon and we're debating on taking the visit.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Come on, bro, who he been talking to? Well, he's
no dame guy.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
You know that.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
No no, no, no, no, listen, you know what.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Say say no more, say no more. As soon as
as soon as we get off air, I'm calling them.
Were about to be about to get Elijah on the
visit because my boy, my boy is I think he's
the best receiver coach in the country. To be honest
with you, oh he is, no, no question, no question.
He the best receiver coach in the country. At Oregon
(04:24):
Junior Adams. They all know it too. He so all
those boys that just got drafted from U dub he
recruited them all.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
He recruited. He coached Cooper Cup, he coached Pooka Nakua.
He coached all them boys.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
But people don't realize he had Raemdonsay, Jalen McMillan. He
recruited and developed them they first couple of years at
University of Washington and then this year I believe all
three Organ receivers gonna get drafted with Avans Stewart, Tad Johnson,
and Trey Shawn.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
So yeah, yeah, we're gonna set We're gonna set that up.
We're gonna set that up. All right, let's go now.
You know who else is trying to set something up?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Is uh, mister Davonte Adams, man, what do you make
of early in the season and the off season? Actually,
Davonte Adams isn't happy with the Raiders.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
He wants out.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Myself from watching that receiver documentary or that Receiver series, right,
I felt like he didn't want to be in Las Vegas.
He wasn't happy with the Raiders quarterback situation and that
was just me while he don't want to be here. Well,
(05:39):
he's finally come out and said, at least it's been
reported that he has requested a trade. Your thoughtst just
talk through this, your thoughts being Davante, your thoughts being
the Raiders and AP I.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Don't like it, man.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
You know, Davante's my guy, He's my brother, man. And
from all the energy that I took from when I
went to the game last year, the last home game
the Oakland, I mean the Raiders versus the Denver Broncos
and I and I sat in the team meeting watching
(06:13):
listen to him speak to the team him in Max.
You know, he was all in and you know, you know,
I sat down and have a conversation with a man. Listen,
he's one of the he's going to be a Hall
of Fame wide receiver. But I think you know, he's
dealing with a hamstring right now, and I think that
that's a little bit of the frustration that he's dealing with.
(06:34):
He has eighteen catches for two hundred and nine yards
in the season in three games, and the only way touchdown.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
They say he dealing with a hamstring. You know, when
we don't want to play, you know what we say,
hamstring and back. But listen, man, you're gonna deal with
adversity in this game. Man, that's just what it is.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
And we haven't always been in been in exacting, you know, positions.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
That's whide receivers. You gotta go out and play.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
And now that you know, we know that the Raiders
don't have the best quarterback situation in the world. So
he's getting a little older and he wants to position
himself to win the world championship. The Raiders aren't in
a position to compete for a world championship right now,
that's not where they are.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
And he went to.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Vegas because Derek Carr was there. He wanted to be
reunited with his college quarterback, to have a chance to
win and to have a quarterback. And he's you know,
the time clock is moving on him. So he wants
to put himself in a position to win a world
championship and it's not and it's not in Las Vegas.
(07:43):
And I feel his pain, but I'm a little disappointed
in the fact that you know, you know, he was
all in where the Raiders were, you know, coming into
this season, and just four games into the season, he's like,
I want to be out and that's just not how you,
(08:05):
you know, be a leader on this football team moving forward,
knowing that the guys in his locker room that you
don't want to be a part of this team.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Man. I see both sides of it.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
As a player, especially a player that you're on the
back end of your career, I will say Davante probably
has three four years left in the league, really good years.
You want to take control of your career, and you
see the situation when I went to Las Vegas. This
is Davante Carr was a quarterback. I don't want to
(08:41):
play with the quarterback that I feel can't get me
the ball, because one I'm gonna be frustrated.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
And we saw that.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
We saw that on that receiver series. He was so
frustrated at the quarterback situation. They come into this season
and in his eyes, they didn't fix it. But Dj,
they didn't fix it. You know what doesn't make sense,
even even him leaving Green Bay and going to the
Raiders and playing with Derek Carr. That's not the best
(09:13):
situation for you to be in, if you know, they
try to get a championship. So I wouldn't understand why
he made that move.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I wouldn't. I wouldn't have done that either.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
And so now it's if he's making these moves, he's
making a bunch of moves that aren't right, Like he's like,
why did you make this?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Wait?
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Wait, wait you're making what are you doing? But at
this point, I don't fault him for doing it. I
don't like it, but I don't fault him for going
to fall. I don't fault this. This this is this
is your career, and you saw that on that series. Bro,
this dude was so pissed off with the Raiders situation
last year. Y'all gonna make me lose my f in mind,
(09:51):
y'all gonna get me killed. Like he was so frustrated.
But AP was on the something because at the combine,
I'm at the combine, I go talk with the Raiders
all the front. Ap straight up told me DJ j
Down is the best quarterback in his draft. It ain't
even close. We got to find a way to get him.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
So what he told me, he told me this at
the combine, he the best quarterback in his draft. We
got to find a way to get him. Obviously that
didn't happen. But AP saw something, and he knew something.
Nobody thought Jaden was the best quarterback in his draft,
and he looks as right now, it's not even close.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
He was telling me the whole entire time the same
exact thing.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Hey, we gotta we gotta do whatever we can to
get him. Obviously that didn't happen. So AP knew that
the quarterback position that it needed work and they couldn't
find that replacement.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
So it sucks.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
And now that's what you said though it the locker room.
You're a leader on this team. The locker room, they
look up to you. So now they see this when
you become a player a Davante stature and things aren't
going the way you would like? Are you going to
(11:13):
do this because you saw Davante do this? You out
this is the domino exactly. You don't want to go
through the adversity because you saw, Hey, Davante did this,
so maybe I can do this. That that to me
is the only thing that I'm not so certain of.
(11:33):
But if just sating, go to the Jets, man, just
send a second round pick, send the player or whatever.
He's not coming over here. Yeah, yes, yes, yes, he
wants to play with Aaron Rodgers. Now what happens with
Garrett Wilson? What happens with his targets? You signed Mike
Williams to a big deal? Alan Lazard is Aaron Rodgers homie.
(11:57):
Somebody got to take a back seat. And of those
three guys, I named two of them. So Mike Williams
got to take a back seat. Alan Lazzard got to
take a back seat because Garrett Wilson is it. It's
not gonna happen. So to me, this is going to
get very interesting how how this plays out. It really is,
because watch he has a hand. The Raiders want a number.
(12:20):
They want a second round draft pick for DeVonta Adams. Honestly,
if I'm if I'm the Kansas City Chiefs, I give
up a first round pick to get Davantage. If I'm
the Kansas City chief Bro, I was trade them in
the division. Just went down the exact same thing. Stole
one with Xavier word that he's gonna be there for
(12:42):
a very long time. Offer up a first round draft
pick to the Raiders to see if they jump on
it and trade them.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
In the division.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Bro, and that first round pick for the Chiefs. That's
really it's gonna be so such a late round. I
mean it's gonna be one of the last picks in
the first round. Absolutely, it's gonna be one of the
last picks in the first round. Yeah, I don't think
the Raiders would do it. But if I'm want they
(13:12):
want a second round pick. If I'm the Raiders off
of my first round pick.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
If I'm I'm off, I'm with you on that. Hey,
I want this take this one.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
He gonna kill with uh, with my homes and in
that office. But I don't know if the Raiders will
do it. But if you get what you want, why
wouldn't you If you're the Raiders, you don't, you don't
care about We got a first rounder, let's do it.
I don't know if the Chiefs would do that, but
Davante with Patrick Mahomes Rice, this this could get interesting.
(13:49):
But yeah, I'm if I'm the Jets, I'm giving them
that second round pick. We're getting this deal done. But
we'll see and watch watch.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
What I say to get he's not coming over here.
Watch that. Watch that.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
I believe that you said. Watch that hamstring be healthy.
It's gonna be as soon as the trade go. Davanta
has been clear to practice. Yeah, he is not risking.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
No, don't he's I.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Think my god's taking an injury. I don't think it
to that degree. I mean, come on, man, Okay, he's
faking an injury. Listen, man, I'm gonna don't forgive my
guy a little bit more done than that. If it
was like back in hamstring you get there, Mr, they'd
be like, oh, string grade two hamstring strain. But it's
(14:38):
really not that bad.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
No, hurt right here. This is where I hurt at

Speaker 1 (15:10):
Welcome back in up on Game Live from Tireck dot
com studios.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
I'm TJ.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Houschman's out alongside Plexico Burus. We got some news and
I don't know if it was news because I.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Uh, the NFL wanted to get involved in this. They
have come out and said they will play zero role
in the return of Tua. So that will be a
decision between the Miami Dolphins two in his family.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
What do you think about that? Where the National Football Leagues? Hey,
we out of this. This has nothing to do with us.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
The Miami Dolphins too in his family his uh circle,
You guys make the decision.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
We want no parts of it. I mean that's a
has always been correct. I mean the NFL has not
you know, stepped in and you know, uh made a
decision based off of any player that I can remember
from a concussion standpoint, on injury standpoint, unless uh, you know,
(16:24):
he's not one hundred you know, healthy or able to play.
And I think this is you know, the NFL basically
saying that we don't have any say somebody we want,
We don't want to be liable for anything moving forward.
You have your team doctors and they are supposed to
be thirty two of the best doctors in the world
(16:47):
from a performance sports standpoint. So the medical Chief Officer,
Alan Seals has already came out and said, you know what,
we are not involved in the decision of to a return.
We trust their medical staff to do the correct thing
as far as putting them up on a football field,
(17:09):
and that's what it's going to be for to moving forward.
He's suffered his third concussion that's on record, and it
wasn't even one of these you know, egregious hits or
you know, player hit hitting his head on the ground
or whatever.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
The case may be. It was just basically a random tackle,
a regular tackle that damar hambling. You know, basically it
was a regular phone tackle. It was nothing egregious or
violent about that hit, and I think that is the
most alarming thing for me for him moving forward. It
(17:47):
could just be a regular play.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
And it puts him in that state of you know him,
you know, being concussed or land on the ground. So
I just think for the Miami Dalk, they're going to
make the decision based off of what Tour, what he
tells them, how he feels, because we know that I
(18:10):
like Huntley. I think he's a good young player. But
if the Miami Dolphins don't want to lose this entire season,
they're going to have to make a decision to put
Tour back on the football field if they want to
be taken seriously moving forward in the AFC East, winning
the division, getting to the playoffs. Because as of right now,
(18:36):
based off what we have seen over the last two
weeks from a quarterback and standpoint, the Miami Dolphins aren't
going to win many football games.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
So too is going to make the decision.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
He's going to make the call and Mike mcdaimes and
that training staff are going to put him back on
the football field on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Yeah, because you know it's actually been reported he basically
now is symptom free.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
He's okay. But it is just the.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
That that thought that that image of Tour on the
ground the first time and then it happened again this
year me his body stiffens up, and many thought the
NFL would get involved because of that image.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
That is that going to further scare parents from allowing their.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Kids to play football because they've seen that image multiple
times now with the same player, And does the NFL
want to avoid that?
Speaker 2 (19:47):
That that was why many thought the NFL may get involved.
But I agree with you.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
To me, it's a team and player decision, specifically the player.
I don't if you were too a plex how would
would would you play? Man?
Speaker 3 (20:07):
I was just having this conversation, you know, a couple
of days ago with Fred t and Fred Taylor, you know,
going back and forth with injuries and playing and my
motto for me as a player, if I could walk,
I was playing. That was just myself, man, Bruce Sternham
(20:31):
separated shoulder, you know, whatever the case may be, ac joint.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
PCL.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
If I was walking, I was playing, and that was
just me, you know, showing my team and you know
the guys that I putted with that, I was willing
to risk whatever I had going on because I wanted
to be available for my guys.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
That was just me.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
If I could walk, I was playing, and man was
probably ten times. There's no way I should have been
playing in these football games, but I wanted to be
there for my team and my guys.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
And you understand what I'm talking about. Yeah, plex we played,
you understand it.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
We played the Baltimore Ravens and I was probably on
one of my crazy moments of the game, and I
tried to run Ray over.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
He just kind of stood. He just stood me up.
He didn't budge, and I believe it was Bart Scott
or Terrell Suggs. They came and hit me right in
my back and I was like, what the hell was that?
It was like it was like a tingle bro.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
I got up. I could barely walk. Finished the game,
but when I got home, I couldn't walk, I could
barely sleep. I go get the MRI I got. I
cracked four bones in my back, the transverse process. Those
are the bones that protect your spine. How literally I could.
I was literally scooting around. I couldn't even walk upstairs.
(22:11):
The next week, we played the Pittsburgh Steeters.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
I played.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
I didn't miss one game, because it's what you just said.
I didn't miss a game. And then I had never
seen anybody with that injury. And then about six, seven, eight,
maybe ten years later, I see somebody with the injury.
Do them dudes missing four or five games? They was
missing four or five games with the injury that I
(22:36):
didn't miss any But it was that mentality of what, Man,
if I can walk, I can play, I can jog. Yeah, yeah,
y'all good. I can play, y'all can shoot me up? Yeah,
let's take this shot. And that's what people that's what
people don't realize. Like you get that shot, that needle'll
be about ten inches long.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
You let's go.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Let me, let me get get an EPI duel on
Wednesday and play on Sunday. Bro like crazy, you're supposed
to be out like ten to fourteen days.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
No, I'm good to go. Let's roll n two hours.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
But this is different though, because there ain't no shot
for this concussion. It's not there's there's no shot for this.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
And when when I look at it, TJ like you understand, man,
and you you've been dinged and you've been hitting the head.
It's a different thing when it's just like a random tackle,
it's like a it's like a know, logical thing versus
that like the head trauma. Yeah, that's the scary part
(23:37):
because he can just be running to hit the ground
or falling and going to that state.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
I think if it happens again, I think that they're
going to have to make a decision. What if it
happens again, and it's going to happen again, because it's
not even violent yes, or gregious hits that he's taken.
It happens again, this is it is almost like we
you know, shout out to the Dodgers. I'm headed to
the game the night. Oh my greatness. Move Hey, I'm
(24:06):
not gonna lieplaxu. I'm nervous about playing the Padres. Man,
I'm nervous that we got to play the Padres. I'm
their team is so good.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
But we got this. I'll be there.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
It's like baseball. He had strike too, Yeah, he has strike.
If it happens again, this gotta be it.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
And ask from a.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Mental standpoint, you are back on the field from your
third concussion or incident or whatever the case may have.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Your lyric what other case may be.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Man from a mental standpoint, like, how can you concentrate
and focus on playing football and being the best that
you need to be for the team. If you're worried
about having one of another episode.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
How can you play?
Speaker 1 (24:56):
He'll be able to do it reluctantly, but any time
nurse bodies around him, he getting rid of that ball.
He's gonna be nervous that you can play the game.
But that that's that's human nature. He can say he's
not gonna do it. That's that's human nature. That it's
gonna happen. Bodies get around him.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Let me get the ball. Is a reaction game.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
No I know, I know, but there's just no way
that that's not going to be in the back of
his head. It's human nature. So he gonna be getting
rid of the ball, a sap to the checkdown, first
read to the checkdown, and then as he gets comfortable
it's not good, then I think things may change. I
(25:40):
don't know, but I wish Toua his family the best,
nothing but the best, because I've met mat Ta such
a nice individual. He's a kind hearted human being, so
I wish he nothing but the best in this situation.
Man hoping that he can play if that's what he
wants to do as long as he wants to. But
(26:02):
I don't believe the league wants to continue to see
that image. Now we'll we'll move on, but before we do,
we got to check in with our guy, Isaac long
Crime I low on the updates.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
What you got baby?
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Well we start with college football and number seven Penn
State and UCLA are scoreless with three point eighteen left
to play in the first quarter. Wonder what our beloved
Fox Sports Radio colleague LeVar Arrington thinks about this, MoMA. No,
we will continue to check in with LeVar and his
reactions throughout the course of the show. UCLA quarterback Ethan
(26:42):
Garber's out due to injury, so Justin Martin got the
start at quarterback for the Bruins today. He's completed six
of eight passes for thirty six yards. Number twenty five
Texas A and M out to an early lead over
ninth ranked Missouri.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
How about Amary getting in now? Touchdown? Daniels heavy Shurst.
Speaker 5 (27:03):
To call on k Zne and Texas A and M
would add a field goal, So they've got a ten
tohing lead over ninth rank Missouri with five minutes remaining
in the first quarter, and SMU has a fourteen to
seven lead at number twenty two Louisville with six thirteen
left to play in the first quarter. NFL, the Pittsburgh
Steelers today removed the injury designation from defensive end Larry
(27:26):
Ogunjobi so he will play on Sunday Night Football against
the Cowboys. That New England Patriots downgraded safety Gabrail Peppers
two out for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins due
to his shoulder injury. Today's Major League Baseball playoff action
gets under way just after the top of the hour
with Game one of the American League Division Series from Cleveland,
with the Guardians hosting the Detroit Tigers. Finally in the NBA.
(27:48):
A short time ago, Lebron James reposted an article on
social media that claimed he joined the Lakers a few
years ago partly because of the way they hand the
final seasons of Kobe Bryant's career. Well, Lebron commented, and
I quote, I came to the Lakers because I wanted
to help Genie win championships, bring that spark back to
(28:11):
the Lakers and see my family blossom in SOCl. Why
would I make a decision on how someone else is treated.
Mama always said, quote stay out of grown folks business
unquote on that note back to you.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Guys, well yeah, I mean I'll stay out of grown
folks business, sing hey, and ain't none of my business.
So that's what they say. But that's what we do,
we and everybody business as we partaking this show Thursday night.
Plex week one, everybody, I don't know if Kirk Cousins
(28:48):
still got it. Week two, Kirk Cousins may be washed.
Week three, like yeah that Achilles, Yeah, man, He's just
not gonna be the same. Kirk Cousins is through for
five hundred in nine yards and four touchdowns. Jeez, what
do you five hundred yards and one like that in
(29:09):
college football? I didn't even see the five hundred.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
That's the crazy part of about this game is that
I didn't even see the five hundred. I don't remember
five hundred passing yards by Kirk Cousins than this football games.
If he throws the five hundred yards, why is Kyle
pitched not more involved in this offense? They have to
(29:32):
find ways to get put this young man in positions
to where he can find favorable matchups so he can
use his abilities to take this offense to the next level.
They won the game the other day. He threw five
hundred yards and Kyle Pitch didn't have one hundred. Drake
(29:55):
London had a great game. That they are, you know,
putting John Robinson in better situations so he can go
out and be an athlete and be a player. But
I gotta go back and just look at the five
hundreds because it didn't look like five hundred to me,
but it was five o nine and four touchdowns. They
did get a divisional win for them, But I just
(30:16):
still don't know where the Falcons are, uh, you know,
competing in this division because it's still up for grads
if you ask me. Because the New Orleans Saints are
all over the place.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
You know, Baker, he's great one weekend, then he then
the next weekend with a bill with the real Baker Mayfield.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Please stand up. He takes you back to the old
Baker then, So you.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Don't believe there's a front runner, You still believe that
division can be won.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
By it can be. It's a three team race. We're
gonna take the Panthers out of it. Yeah, we're just
gonna take the Panthers out of it, I mean right now.
But it's just it's just I don't know who is
going to be in control of this vision come you know, December,
going into the playoffs. You just don't know which one
(31:08):
of these teams are going to take the commanding lead
and you know, win this division. But the Atlanta Falcons,
they just got to find a way man to really
get Pitts involved in his offense because it just doesn't
make any sense to me bringing a talent to guy
like this.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
You know, you can put him at the three, you
can put him at the two.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
You can you line them up on the edge and
empty or whatever the case may be, get them to
get some linebackers. Uh you know, you know, playing in space.
But you can't take this guy and put him at
the ax or whatever the case may be and ask
him to go out and beat cornerbacks.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
It's just not going to happen. So they did.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
They won the game five hundred yards passing, but they
got to find a way to get this man more
involved in his offense.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Kyle Pitts had a great rookie season, tear his knee
and he hasn't been the same since moving his speed
and you last year you give him a pass because
it was his first year coming off the knee injury.
This year, I think many felt like he would be
the Kyle Pitts that he was his rookie season, and
(32:18):
we may we may be starting to see glimpses in
some of that now, but I felt like this week
he was heavily involved. I mean, he had seven catches.
That's a lot more than zero, and that's what he
had to prior, think week prior, And so I get
what you're saying. If this offense is going to be
(32:40):
dynamic each week, this needs to be the norm. So
moving forward, Kyle Pitts needs between five and eight not
targets catches per game, and so he needs fight eight
receptions each game in my opinion, and I believe this
is a step in the right direction. The passing game
(33:02):
should and will move through Drake London. Darnell Mooney would
probably be in my opinion, he should be the third
option behind Drake, then Kyle Pitts, then Darnell Mooney. But
I mean, he had a great game. Darnell Mooney had
a great even with the drop on third down, he
catched that he probably could score. I mean, but it happens,
(33:24):
and so Kirk Cousins played the hell of a game.
I thought going into the season when they acquired Judon
and the NA signed Simmons, I said all day the
team to beat. The Saints have surprised me. They really
have they They've really surprised me. I didn't think they
would be as good as they are, and so I'm
with you. I believe, I believe the Falcons are the
(33:45):
front runners, but I could see the Saints and or
the Bucks winning it. This division is going to be
better than many many thought it would be heading into
the season because nobody thought the Saints would do anything.
I know, some people thought the Panthers are be much
better and compete. Obviously that isn't the case, and the Bucks.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Won the division.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
I believe last year they were nine and eight, and so,
so you going to this season, the Falcons may contend
with Kurt Nah, the Saints aren't gonna be too good.
So yeah, this this division is up for grabs. But
five hundred yards, I'm with you. It didn't seem like
(34:26):
it was five hundred yards, but it didn't.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
But hey, it was. It was one of the coldest lines.
Even Roy Jones was forced to lean back. I was like, oh.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Man, welcome back in to up on game line for
the Tarreck dot Com studios. That's plexicom Barras, I'm TJ.
Houschmann Zada. I guess there's problems in New England. And
like when I when I read stories like this, I'm like,
why why the page they're going to remove? They're removing
(35:01):
in podcasts suggesting that the locker room is pissed off
over who's starting a quarterback, Like what Jacoby Brissett's playing,
You guys are losing.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Drake May's going to play. You guys are still going
to lose. They're going to lose. Like how was there
a mutiny? What? What are they mad about? Like, I
don't get it.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
If Drake May was ready to play and he was
heading shoulders better than Jacoby Berson, not even heading shoulders,
if he was just better, he would be playing, they're
saving him from himself, and so the mutiny like you guys, not,
(35:48):
y'all don't have to fire power to these other teams.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
You're not gonna win anyway. What what what do you think, man,
listen to Rob Mayo. Is saving Drake may from the team,
is what he's doing because based off of everything that
I saw this young man doing college in the ACC,
(36:10):
he wasn't an elite quarterback coming into the draft. He's
not going to be an elite quarterback in the NFL.
You just look at his delivery and him throwing the football.
I don't think. I really don't think that he had
he played enough games in college to really get a
true assessment of how good this young man is. I
(36:35):
think it was not Draw Mayo's pick. He did not
draft Drake May Cool drafted him Robert Craft in the general, Manason,
it was not his pick.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
You believe Mayo didn't want Drake may He did.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
Not, because if Draw Mayo would have drafted Drake May
then Drake may would have been the opening day start
based off of his knowledge and understanding and knowing the
game of football. Drop Mail is a very intelligent uh
(37:10):
football player and coach. I've played against him several times.
He's a highly intelligent man, and it was not his pick.
So that is the reason. While Jacoby Brissett is the
starting quarterback for the New England Pagers, right now.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
I mean, I just even if he is, and I
don't see it being Drake mains in a game. Now
we're gonna win games. That's not gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
Nope.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
And so whether it's Brissette or not, you're not gonna win.
The fact that what I'm about, I can't even But
how the hell did they beat the Bengals in week one?
That is like mind boggling to me. And we had
this conversation, me and you. That is mind boggling that
they beat us. That is crazy, knowing they're not really
(38:02):
gonna throw the ball. They just gonna try to run, run, run,
and that's what they did. That's another story. I mean,
that's water under the bridge. But the players in the
locker room need to understand. Unless Drake may just look
that good in practice, but you're going against scout team,
it's less stressful. I don't know what it is, but
(38:22):
the players in New England, man, y'all gotta come to
grips that y'all just not gonna have a good season.
Speaker 5 (38:28):
It is what it is.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Hopefully he will be ready for the future. The first
hour is over, y'all, make sure y'all stay locked in
