and Super Bowl champion Plaxico Burress. All right, good morning everyone,
(01:08):
Welcome into the show. It's a great day for college football.
You gotta love it. Big match up, all of the
big shows are in in Michigan for the Battle of
the what is it the battle? Let's go what trophy? Baby?
What makes all right? We'll go in. We're gonna help on. Man, Hey, listen,
(01:33):
if I was on that field right then with Challs
Wilson ran by my sideline with that Michigans over the time.
Come on, man, you can't do that. Little man. I
can't let him run down the field with Michigan flag
on the east lands, not in the runship. That's kind
of disrespectful. Come on, what is I see how? It is?
All right? That is disrespectful. But at the same time,
(01:56):
that is one of the goats of the goats and
and you know what, you're a goat of goats and
the ghosts. Don't mean you can be disrespectful. He did.
He did that because because he knew no, no, nobody

you know that Ellinois game really changed the way um
(02:39):
we're being viewed right now. But listen, we lost to Illinois,
so so so to think about it. The one thing
we always say, we've had this conversation at length on
this show many of times, is the parody in in
the Big Ten and and just how a team can
trap you. You can get trapped by any type of
team at any point in time. I mean I got
(03:01):
trapped by Perdue, we got caught up by Illinois. I
mean we lost. I was as well. So you know,
I love that about the Big Ten. I hate it
because we knock each other off and we don't have
as much representation as as we should at times in
the playoff. But I mean I like the you know,
I like the competitive compara parody of what's going on
(03:21):
in the Big Ten. I really like where it's at
right now. But anyways, I digress. This is up on game.
As I mentioned, that's which Manzada, That's that's Birds, Mr Bird, Stretch,

with James Jackson from UH Straight Facts UH podcast. We
got Jake Giley coming in later on with Up on Game,
(04:06):
Down on Game to give us some bet predictions and
and and you know, well I'm the best at that,
but well we'll talk about that later. Uh Green Bay,
Great Bay, Arizona after math that you know, I want
to touch on that. Uh, there's there's a whole lot
of there's a there's a plethora, as my man Chad
Dukes would say, there's a plethora of pin yatas to
(04:28):
get to and beat up on while we do this show.
But let's jump let's jump to it. Let's get right
into it. I can't wait to hear y'all's reaction to uh, well,
this week's of James Jackson's I'm On Your Head. No,
it's I'm on Your Head with James Jackson. What's going
(04:49):
on y'all? At your boy, James Jackson, Welcome back to
another episode of I'm On Your Head, presented by the
up on Game Network and Fox Sports Radio. Make sure
to go follow me on my Instagram at the Real
Underscore or Jimmy j for all of my Shaky Baby
videos and the rest of my content up on there.
But for those who don't know, I reside out of
the Philadelphia area. So this next team I'm about to
(05:09):
get on, I don't really have to go far to
do it. The right in my backyard, the Philadelphia Eagles,
I'm on your Head. It's funny they call it the
City of brotherly Love, but I just see a whole
lot of hate coming out of the city right now.
It starts with their second year quarterback Jalen Hurts right,
who was obviously struggling. He threw for about seventy seven
seventy seven completion percentage and his first game the Week
(05:30):
one win against Atlanta. Since then, he's completed just under
sixty percent of his passes in these last four games,
only one of them has been a win. Unsurprisingly, he
ranks twenty nine of thirty four qualifying quarterbacks in that
STATU hurts, don't it? And it's not on him? We
really gotta look at his side coach, right Nick Sirianni
NICKI no words, as I like to call him. And
(05:51):
although the scheme he's running doesn't really fit his quarterback,
has it changed it since they one week one. I
don't think he's a terrible coach, just maybe not to
motivate grown men. I mean, bringing up flowers in your
team meeting and call your team fertilizer isn't really the
way to do it. God, they are playing like crap though,
so that does make sense. They're two and five with
one of the toughest parts of their schedule upcoming right now.
(06:13):
So I hope there and I'm glad that they're ready
for Halloween and Philly because it's getting spooky baby for
the Eagles. They're in a tough city and I hear
the chatter. I know they're hearing it from their fans,
but now they're hearing it from me. Phildelf Eagles, I'm
on your head. The Eagles, fat um, what what you
(06:39):
guys take away from this? Listen? The Eagles have struggled.
They have looked like fertilizer for for plants. Um, but
but is there is there a silver lining here? Um?
So many people are pulling for Jalen Hurts to to
be able to, you know, pull it together. Uh, there's
just so many, so many question marks surrounding this team
(07:02):
right now. Um, they seemingly are are kind of competitive.
They have the Lions tomorrow. I mean, how much of
a how much of a defining moment is this for? Uh,
this team, for Sirianni and this team to to go
up against a winless Lions team defining moment? I mean,
(07:24):
let's be honest. Did anybody think the Eagles are gonna
be good this year? Nobody did. Jalen Hurts is a
young quarterback. Nick Sirianni just from when they hired him
that interview, Everybody's like, wait, wait, wait, y'all hired this
dude as the head coach. Nobody expected the Eagles to
do much this year outside of Davante Smith and and
(07:46):
I love football and I can aime it, But can
you name the starting receiver on that team? No? Alexanders
just hurt. They just traded Zach Ertz. Their offensive line
has been banged up. The Cowboys went they were winning
this division. Soon as the season started, everybody knew us
who's gonna come in second place. We kind of looked
(08:06):
at Washington as a team that could be competitive, but
I didn't the defense has the and see this is
and you see what happens, Right, Fletcher cots in those
guys and they don't like what they're doing defensive. They're
basically taking shots at I believe his name is Jonathan Gannon,
who I've never heard of. Also, you know, our defense
(08:29):
is passed. If we can't be aggressive as we used
to be, they don't let us do certain things. Now
they're taking shots at the the system and what they
do defensively because they're not being effective. Fletcher Cox is
not playing the way he's a cups in the plan,
so now he's taking shots at the coordinator. Like, listen,
we just run what's called. We can't be as aggressive
and we used to be. We see a play, we
(08:49):
have to do this. We can't go make the play.
They gotta figure this out and let the players make plays.
Like these coaches always think they're the reason why Yeah,
you are the reason why why he losing Hey First,
first of all, out of the gate, the first issue
with this whole Philadelphia Eagle team is that Nick Sirianni
was a bad high When he was hired as the
(09:12):
heir as the head coach. We we all sat down,
all three of them, We was like, well, who in
the hell is Nick Sirianni? Like, what are the what
are the requirements to become an NFL here? You have
to be able to compete with them in in a
competitive game of one on one horse. I mean, what
are the required per head coach? Because when he came
(09:32):
on and he did that first interview, everybody was like, man,
hold on, man, what's going on? And then on top
of that, uh, I don't think anybody really expected Jalen
Hurts told really be the answer and be a franchise
quarterback for this organization. And if he is, it ain't
It's not gonna be this, That's what I'm saying. So
you draft DeVante Smith, He's a he's a number one
(09:53):
where I received he was the basketball I receiving the draft.
Me take him? But then you know, you know, zach
Ertz is happy his role as limited, he wants out,
and you trade and you trade him the Arizona So
now you don't even have a pass catching tight end
on the football team who has been bawling for a
zone about all right, he's been the best offensive player
on the Eagles for the last five or six years.
(10:15):
Let me put this one in front of you. Let
me put this one in front of y'all. They have
a ton of of draft stock and and and just
listening to your point, t J, and listening to what
you're saying, plexting, what you're getting at is, how can
how can Jalen Hurts be that guy? With the type
of team that they have now, I don't know how
you overcome coaching. You can't overcome coaching unless you have
(10:35):
players that that can overcome the coaching, and those coaches
get out of the way and let those players, you know,
dictate and and and kind of help with the direction
of this team. Do you think that this Sarianni and
and this coaching staff will have enough time do you
think Hurts will have enough time for them to get well, okay,
there you go to get what I was gonna say,
is to get enough draft picks to develop Actually a
(10:58):
competitive team again, because you guys do know that building teams,
you know, it still takes time. It still takes, but
people don't seem to grass that concept that it actually
still two day people. Listen to what we here's some
game for y'all. This is free gag. No matter what
(11:20):
you do in your life, no matter what it is
that you're planning to be successful at, if you're starting
from square one, it will take hold on here comes sometime.
It takes, It takes time. It doesn't happen overnight, doesn't
happen right away. And I just don't think I think
(11:40):
we have a microwave. It's a microwave. It's way too quick.
You want it now, but you gotta have the ability
and the opportunity. Is this one of those situations where
they're going to force us in which Michigan is getting
out on Michigan State. By the way, they gotta pick
and then now they just had uh andrew anybody and
(12:01):
and by the way, by the way, sorry, plex, I
do have Michigan winning this game. Man, Listen, listen to
your opinion. You know, I mean, do you think that
this is more of a symptom of they're not going
to be able to do it. I think I know
(12:22):
what you're you're thinking, plexity. You know who is he?
Where is he from? Wise, he's a bad hire So
maybe he's not the guy that can do it. But
if he has the opportunity, do you think with given time,
they would be able to turn this Philadelphia Eagles team around?
You don't know, Lavarti. We don't know what Nick Siriani
(12:42):
is as a coach. Obviously, when you lose, what's the
first thing the coaches do? I don't have a quarterback.
He can do this, he can do that. Instead of
looking themselves in the mirror, Let's tailor this offense to
what Jalen Hurts does well, and let's trying to limit
the things that he doesn't do well. As far as
what's in our system. You don't know if Nick Siriani
(13:05):
is that dude. It was a surprise, Hier. I'll be honest,
I had never heard of him. I'm glad, I'm glad
we're all in agreement on that. You know, and it
doesn't no doubt, But it doesn't matter that we haven't
heard of him and we didn't know who he was.
That now saying he's not a good coach. It just
felt like they might have been people more qualified. He
got the job. It matters when you suck as a
(13:26):
head coach. I mean, let's be honest. If you're winning,
it's like, oh he was a great fine, But if
they suck, which he's sucking it up right now, like
like a man. James Jackson said, fertilizer for the plants.
You know that, you know what it is. Interviews man
like this is the second one. But the calm. Yeah, yeah,
that's what he is. You know what he needs. DJ
(13:47):
tell that man what he needs, Bro, he needs to
defide Asian with them. Drive that he does, supplement for

let ages beat you get him drive Nick Hey, get
get that m drive brother, Because because you're coaching, game
(14:09):
needs needs a boost and it needs to define whatever
it is that it's challenges. Right now you're listening. You're
listening up on a game that's t J. Hudsman's out
of that's Plexico burst. Uh. Coming up next, we're gonna
talk Green Bay Arizona. The aftermath of that, what did
this game tell us about Kyler Murray Aaron Rodgers? And

speaking of because the music does not play on the podcast.
But don't fret. You can always tune into of the
show right now, live and in color and listen to us.
Do it as as your ears is here and it
and it's really us, it's really our voices ain't even recorded. Uh,
check us out. You know. We come on early on
Saturday mornings. It's it's nine am Pacific time, it's noon.
Uh if you're on the East coast, So you work
(19:16):
that one now, okay, guys, um Arizona Green Bay. This
this is the aftermath of this game is pretty interesting
to me. I had some great takeaways from it. Uh.
You go into the game shorthanded as as Green Bay.
We have had all of these conversations coming into the season.
Aaron Rodgers dominated the headlines and they had a slow
start obviously, you know, having a rough outing and week
(19:39):
one they get a lost. Everybody's wondering you know, is
it all gonna be justified to get rid of Aaron Rodgers? Uh? Okay,
And I'm gonna I'm gonna lead out for y'all to
jump on that because there's a whole lot of soft
meat on that one that is that is not a
hard rip uh to jump at that meets coming right
off of that bone. And then Arizona, you know, the
(20:00):
question was and years passed since Kyler Murray is taken
over in Cliff Kingsbury have taken over. They have done
well as a team. They have constantly improved. We've seen
the improvement of Kyler Murray. But then we always have
the question of Okay, they've they've they've slipped up, they've
fallen back during years past, and we were wondering, what's
(20:20):
that gonna take place in a game like this against
Green Bay. They end up losing the game, but it's
kind of like I kind of felt like we left
the game with a question mark, with an incomplete as
it applies to Arizona and to to Kyler Murray. I
don't think it would be fair to say that this
is the same Arizona Cardinals team. I don't think it
would be fair to say that Kyler Murray let this
team down based off of how they lost this game.
(20:43):
But it did happen. They did lose the game. Uh.
Aaron Rodgers did not have an amazing day statistically, Uh,
but he did not have two of his main weapons.
So what's the takeaway from this game? Fellas after seeing
Aaron Rodgers win um based upon not even having you know,
Aaron Jones, which is a running back, was his leading
(21:03):
receiver in the game, and that was only fifty one
yards and they still found a way to beat the
Arizona Cardinals. What say you, guys? You know what it
shows me. I'll give you two things. The Packers are
really good that opening week. I don't know what happened.
They just laid an egg. But man, receivers mean a
lot to offenses. Man, that's what that's received. All these
(21:30):
people they hey, they better check themselves. They better checked themselves.
Like I'm starting to realize, Like as much as they
want to hate us and call us it, when you're
Aaron Rodgers and you throw for a hundred and eighty
four yards two for thirty seven, your top two receivers
(21:50):
aren't there. There's no way them top two. He's throwing
for a three hundred Yeah, received like under Valum do
outside of the quarterback and that the guys up front.
There's no position more important than the receiver because if
Davonte Adams there, that game is not as close Kyler
Murray had all these guys. DeAndre Hopkins is in and
(22:12):
out because of his hamstring. But that was my takeaway
the Packers, this is a really good team. They are
a really good team la Fleur. Whether you give him
the credit or not, he's done a fantastic job as
a head coach. Because they they'll be missing guys like
Darius Smith hasn't played all year, Sir Alexander has been
in and out of the lineup. They are still winning.
They get crushed first game of the season, water off
(22:35):
a duck's back. We're gonna play next week. But Davontae
Adams is that dude. He's going for a hundred and
eighty four yards without him, and they need to give
Davonte Adams and his age in the room and say
how much you want man listen. Is the one yard
(22:55):
line cursed? Glenn Deals? Is it cursed? I mean, what's
going on? Like this football is getting too cute? Man,
you're on the six inch yard line and you're on
the shotgun on the sixth ins and you're the Green
Bay package. You're known for running the sweep, you're known
(23:16):
for running the football. All of a sudden, these teams
are getting so cute and they think they're like so
smart with the analysis in the and and the and
the and the analytics of what what what defense they're
gonna run. We're gonna come out of this formation, run
the football. We watch the same thing happened to the
(23:37):
Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl. Meanwhile, Jermaine Curse from
the Seattle Seahawks had one of the best catches in
Super Bowl history and nobody ever talks about it because
of that play. But getting back to what TJ were saying,
with these wide receivers not being in the football game,
(23:58):
I mean, just look at what's happening. If you're Matt Lafleur,
it is easy to call plays when you have Vonte
Adams on the football field because you know he's gonna
get double team and you can put players in situations
to have success. He didn't have that option the other night,
So you know what, I actually gotta call some plays,
(24:19):
and and and and it happened over the and with
DeAndre Hopkins also, But getting back to that last play
of the game and miscommunication between A J. Green and
Kylin Murray, I am really surprised and shocked that they
were not on the same page. And with a J
being a veteran, I love a J. With him coming out,
(24:42):
he's just like he just wasn't focusing and dialed in
and knowing that the ball is coming out hot and
knowing that you're on zero coverage and you have one
but guy, that's blessing. He's gonna be free. It's almost
as like, uh, he was expecting for Colin murdered step
drop and Kylin mer was in the three step. It
(25:03):
looked like he was going to run because he never
turned around. It was like it was just shield. It
was almost like he knew the ball was going to
the other side. It wasn't coming in this direction. But
when you see man and man, they're going to the
single side receiver and this cover Z wrote, Okay, alright,
because I want to I want to expand on that.
I do want to expand on that. Let's do this.
(25:25):
I got some sound from Cliff Kingsbury, which may throw
a little bit of of oil, a little bit of
gas on this fire that y'all just started with with
A J. Green. Y'all hating on him the way that
y'all hate he's a Hall of Fame, the way y'all
just hated on A J. Green. I'm not hating what
I want to. Come on, I'm talking about understanding and
(25:52):
knowing and understanding what covered you? Okay, hold on, hold on,
this is what I want to do. We're gonna got hey,
We're gonna go to Ralphie. Were all to go to Ralphie.
We're gonna We're gonna table. We're gonna table his hate
that came from two receivers, uh, two great receivers, and
we're gonna go to Ralphie for trendy. What the guy, Robbie? Well,
we got a whole lot of college football today, King Gentleman. Yeah,
(26:12):
we'll start number two Cincinnati playing at two lane on
the green Way. That sounds unamazing, but go ahead, it's unamazing.
Desmond literally one year touchdown run. Cincinnati already as seven
nothing lead at two lane, one fourteen to play in
the first quarter of that contest, meanwhile, number six Michigan
playing at number eight Michigan State. And plus, you're not
(26:35):
gonna like this back to throw mcmare looks throws. He's
got his man Anthony, he's at the thirty. He's gottee.
He could do the distance, man Joel Anthony, he's lasting.
Native visit the ten five. He's lasting. Oh my goodn
that's Jim brand Center from lear Field. And when I
heard that, when I heard that part, I knew this
(26:57):
was just gonna punch your right in the gun. Yes,
it's SAMs as though he needed to have a Michigan
flag in his hands with the ball and run down
sat line like like Charles, Yeah, sorry, go ahead, go ahead.
But anyways, Michigan the seven nothing lead over Michigan State
six thirteen to play in the first quarter of that contest.
(27:19):
Number nine Iowa playing at Wisconsin and the Badgers on
the scoreboard first, they have the seven nothing lead over
Iowa three a white to play in the first quarter.
There Texas playing number sixteen Baylor. They're tied at seven

Miami at number seventeen Pittsburgh. Those two sides tied at
(27:41):
seven nine oh four to play in the first quarter.
One note from the NFL, Matt Maaggie will not be
cleared from COVID protocol for the Bears games Sunday against
San Francisco. Special Teams coordinator Chris Tabor will handle the
head coaching duties. The I would say the coach pride was,
(28:01):
ain't nobody care naggy? All right, go ahead, take a break. Well,
we won't find out if anybody cares or not. But
right now, you know what we're gonna do. What we're
gonna do, Go up on Good Hey, hey, t J.
Why why is Ralph he able to stay up on
James like that? Bro? You know our Ralphie's doing. He's
defined as the supplement for driven man that supports healthy
(28:23):
to stop the wrong level boosenergy and helps you get lean.
Visit him drive from men dot com for off with
promo code t J. Don't let age beat you get
them drive because age ain't nothing but the number going
down ain't nothing but a thing. Ye okay, alright, alright,
(28:45):
look fellas, I gotta I gotta continue this conversation because
y'all was going real hard on my boy. A J.
Green Man and listen and listen, but but listen. His
coach even had some interesting things to say. Let's take
a little listen to this and then y'all can get
back to y'all full throttle hat and here we go.
What was the plan that let's play? What did you want?
(29:05):
Just in general that, yeah, we didn't run around. I'm
not said it wasn't around that check. Okay, it wasn't
real good audio that. Let me let me decipher that
for you, because that was just the worst audio I've
ever heard from an interview ever. But he said, we
(29:26):
basically had what we wanted and the check was was
the check and and basically A J. Green didn't get
the check. We need to communicate better. Now that's kind
of sort of a lightweight. A J. Green you should
have known. But we got to communicate better because I
(29:48):
don't want you to feel as though, um, I'm fully
throwing you under the bus for not turning around and
winning the game. He threw him under that bus and
he got random. He got hit by both of the
wheel Did they did they did in reverse the bus?
Did they put it in reverse or did they just
keep driving? They kept going all the way to Tucson.
(30:10):
But listen, man, that's what they went party down there.
They put him under the bus reservation. Listen, it's either
one or two things happened on this place. Colin Murray
checks out of the out of the plate. What what
whatever he has going on. He's trying to relate the
call to A J. Green. Either A J. Green thinks
(30:33):
it's a run, because that's what it wasn't a run.
They were going. A J thought it was a run. Yeah,
I don't know about that, though, Man, I think they were.
I'm explaining what what what I'm thinking, what is he
gonna happen? I think thought it was going to the
other side because he actually was running a route. Either way,
(30:54):
you gotta give me some more either way, you gotta
give me some more exuberus on the route keeping man
ja dude, Hey, we come we were competing to when
the when a football game, I don't care if the
ball is supposed to be were supposed to be going
to the other side. You don't come off the ball
like that. And at that point of the game. Now forever,
and I mean, you're always going to have a guy
(31:15):
like a Kyler Murray that's gonna be able to improvise
during the course of the game. I mean, why would
you not be ready? I mean, I know his ankle
was sore, and he wasn't he wasn't going maybe he
wasn't gonna run, but game listen, I'm gonna give a
j more credit than not. You're gonna go back, No,
come on, go back. On the hand, I'm going to
say that, hey, Kyla Murray checked out of this play
(31:39):
and A J. Getting thought it was a run because
there's no way a guy like a J. Green Hall
of Fame wide receiver will come off the ball. And
when a route like that in that situation. He's never
been that kind of a player. A J. Green when
he goes out in places, man, he gives a hunting
in tem Ple cent all day long. That was a
ten percent minus. It will be totally out of this.
(32:03):
It will be totally out of never now, because that
was a hundred percent minus out of his character to
note to not go out there and compete to the
fullest of his ability. Let me ask you. I'm going
to say that he thought it was all right, and
and and I get that, and and clearly you thought
it was going to the other You thought he thought
(32:23):
it was going to the other side. T J. Let
me ask you all this. A. J. Green was unavailable
for comment because he did not want to talk to
the media. I mean, he's always been a quiet dude, okay,
but you still got to face the music when something
like this happens. He didn't want to do it. What
does that make you think? Doesn't like to me? The
first thing I thought was, you could be upset, but
(32:43):
you could still say listen. It was just one of
those things. It was a mistake. I thought it was
one thing, it was another, and keep it moving. He
did not want to talk to the media out of
out of anger, So then now you're left to try
to assume why that is. First thing I thought was
he was wrong, like like you, you messed up, like you,
you messed it up, and you should said you messed up,
(33:04):
but you didn't want to say you messed it up.
Any what's y'all take on it? Anytime the ball goes
to him, Kyler Murray knew what he wanted, so he
had to have been wrong. If Kyler Murray threw you
the ball and you didn't do what Kyler Murray expected
you to do, and if you go back and look
at it. Kyler Murray gave him some type of signal,
(33:25):
so it had to have been a J's fault in it. Dude,
he's new to the system. He just got there. You
go over all the hand signals and things of that nature.
But if you're a receiver and you line up and
you see cover zero, you know if you guys don't
have a cover zero beater called it's an audible coming.
(33:46):
You know that. You you line up, you see, oh,
this looked like this can be zero. Let me so
you start looking in like is he's seeing what I'm seeing?
And so it was just miscommunication. It's a regular season game.
They'll learn from it. They'll move on. They have one lost.
That sounds good. That sounds good. But let me put
this one to you too. Let me come to y'all
on this one. Because last year, when when the mishaps
(34:08):
took place for Russell Wilson, he'd started throwing a couple
of interceptions, a couple of things happen, he's out all
of a sudden, he's totally out of the m v
P race. Now you're talking about the same guy that
ends up winning the m v P is the reason
why this team was able to win that game against Arizona,
and regardless of of anything, because it was really more
so something else other than Aaron Rodgers the reason why
(34:30):
they won this game. But with that being said, do
you think maybe A. J. Green is getting maybe roped
into this and and and thrown under the bus by
A Kingsbury and and and to to in in a
in an attempt to make sure that Kyler Murray's opportunity
to be in this m v P race isn't isn't
ruined because that I mean, the game's on the line,
(34:53):
It's a big game. Kyler Murray is clearly top of mind,
front of mine in the conversation of being in the
MVP race. Losing effort like this on the final game
where you throw an interception nonetheless at the end of
the game, could be a detrimental moment for his campaign.
(35:15):
Look here, man, do you not think that and Rodgers
made that trip to Arizona knowing what was that steak?
Everybody was over here talking about Colin Murray is the
m v P of the of of the NFL already
in Week seven, if they go out and beat the
Green Bay Packers, if you know that the character of
Aaron Rodgers, he's not gonna let that happen. He he
(35:37):
knows that. What does that steak y'all talking about Carlin
Murder is gonna be the m v P not on
my watch? When how because they're seven and oh in
the first seven weeks of the season. Come on, man,
it's still early in the season. I don't say who's
an m VP favorite or who who fell out of
contention in one game. I mean, when you look at
(35:58):
the quarterbacks, Kyle Murray through two picks, you you can say, oh,
it should have been one pick through for more yards.
And Aaron Rodgers they both have the same record. It's
a long season, it's a it's a lot of football
left to be played. But it's just the way the
cart Like the way Kingsbury went about this, just said,
(36:20):
was miscommunication, bro, Like you don't have to give an
explanation of Like he's the way he said that, like
he was piste off of AJ, like he wanted to
let everybody know this wasn't me, this was a j
just said it was miscommunication. We weren't on the same page.
We're gonna fix that in practice. You don't have to
(36:41):
come out, and also he has to address the media
and come out and say accept responsibility for being wrong
or the miscommunication of whatever or whatever happened. He can't
just run away from you. Gotta stand in front of
the camera. You know what, Right, you know what they say, Hey,
don't sing the blues when you lose, just grin when
you win. Well, I'll tell you what luckily, Uh a J.
(37:04):
Green getting ran over by being thrown under that bus.
That where he got hit by all the tires. Uh,
there was me. I was there. I was there to
pick you up. I was there to scoop you up.
A J. I had to put you in the back
because I got great hauling power with my Dodge Ram
and it's that time of the year. The only way
I would have been able to pick you up, a J.
Is by being in the stadium parking lot. So you
(37:24):
know the fact that his football season that means tailgating
his back. I was tailgating. You got ran over by
the bus, So I made it right. I picked you up.
I put you in there with my coolers, my grills,
and my wide screen TV. I loaded you up in
my Ram. A J. The truck brand you know what,
I had to put you in that one because it's
read defining what the truck can be. I had to
take your rant over self and put you in the
(37:46):
brand that leads the pack and interior design, technology, overall quality.
In fact, JD. Power was like, hey, LaVar, pick this
man up in that Ram because it's the number one
brand in new vehicle quality in the entire automotive in
the street. I had to say, y, a J. The
first time a truck brand has ever been scored that high.
RAM trucks have the rec adorability to hault what you
(38:08):
need and luxurious interiors to make the drive every every
time a very very nice one. Now, I know you
were sore, a J. But you know what, while I
was behind the wheel of that truck and we was
pulling off, they was like, man, A J. Looked like
he hurt. But man, that's sure is a nice looking
Dodge truck that they're driving off in. You want to
look good driving off taking your friend off to the
(38:30):
hospital to make sure he's okay after he got ran over, Well,

Welcome back into up on Game. This is a very
relevant song. It's very relevant song. It's by Nellie. Tell him,
tell him the name of the song. I always sam
number one. Yeah, all right, Welcome back into up on Game.
(41:45):
Number one by Nelly. This this is a song that's
dedicated to one Aaron Rodgers. Everybody put the dirt on them.
They were saying, this is the swan song in Green Bay.
I won't say the person that has been telling everybody
all along, this is not the final season for Aaron Rodgers.
(42:06):
I will not put that out there. But Fellas, what
is your take? Do do you still do people still
should they still feel bullish on Aaron Rodgers leaving after
this season? If I'm a Packer fan, I am, I
don't want them leaving. No, do you wish? But do
you think that this is it? Do you still think
that this is it? Like everybody has said this is
(42:29):
this is the last season? This is this the last
season for Aaron Rodgers? Do you still feel that this
is the last season for him? There? It can't be.
They're planning too well. Like if I'm the Packers, I
don't want to see them go. It really would depend
on how I felt about Jordan's Love. Because if you
(42:52):
can get a good trade off for Aaron Rodgers for
thirty eight year old quarterback, you might have to do it.
If you feel good about what Jordan's Love can do
moving forward, why wouldn't you? Because I think we know what. Okay, teach,
and let me ask you this question. Do you think
(43:12):
Jordan Love is a better quarterback now than than at
thirty eight for the next four or five years? No? Okay, okay, No,
I'm not gonna go no, alright, then you just answer
I'm gonna get that value for Jordan Love. I'm gonna
trade Jordan. This might be Jordan's love. Wait wait, wait,
wait wait, You're definitely putting Jordan Love on trading block,
(43:33):
no doubt, because Jordan Love. Jordan Love will not be
a better quarterback than and Rogers for the next four
or five years quarter years old. Let let's go out
of the limit and say he will never be. I mean,
are we he will never be? That's hard to do.
(43:54):
I'll tell you how. You know. You want to know
how Aaron Rodgers is able to continue doing what he does.
I know, I know how well the supplement ford men
that so far is healthy to stop their own level
boost centergy and help visiting him drying from men dot
com a promo code t J don't age beat you
(44:17):
get him dry. Wow. Okay, we just had to go
ahead and throw that in there, because you know, there's
gotta be a reason why Aaron Rodgers gotta be is
creating memes that that are legendary goat means with memes
with his eyes wide open and his helmet all jacked up.
But he's out there making plays, all right. I agree.
I do not see Jordan love being better than Aaron
(44:41):
Rodgers in the next three to four, maybe even five years,
I think that has to start to become a conversation.
It's been very quiet now. With that being said, start
losing some games, have a slide get something like they're
they're overcoming you know, injuries. I mean that this is COVID,
but you're you're overcoming not having players and you're still winning.
(45:03):
But I do believe the pressure will never be off
of him. Um this season. Speaking of Aaron Rodgers in
terms of if what he's trying to pull off in
my assumption is having more of a say, more of
a place at the table at in Green Bay. He's
got to continue to win. He's put that pressure. It's
almost like remember the Titans when they was like, look,
(45:24):
you lose a game, you're up out of here. You know,
we brought you in here. We ain't want to bring
you in here, but you know, if you lose, we
can justify getting you out of here. I almost feel
like Aaron Rodgers is in that type of situation. But
we'll see how that all plays out. We'll be here
to talk about in and continue to see what that
means for for Jordan's Love as well coming up an
hour two of our fine show. Uh, there was a
(45:45):
report from Jason locking for I hate to do this
to you, but since everybody's getting thrown underbusses and getting
ran over as they you know, Plex and t J
did it to to uh to UH and then and
then Clint Kingsbury, he was right, they're driving it while
they was on the bus. Uh, Jason locking For, I'm
throwing you under the bus right now. You had a
report that uh, Carolina was looking to possibly trade McCaffrey
(46:12):
in order to gain one Deshaun Watson, that that conversation
has heated up. It turns out that that was probably
untrue and those conversations have fallen apart. But I want
to go into would that be a sensible thing to
approach McCaffrey going to Houston in exchange for one Deshaun Watson.
(46:35):
We'll talk about that. We, as I mentioned, have legendary
moments coming up. Andre Davis, you'll you'll want to google
him before you hear this. This this sound is really
good and we have up on Game down on game

Welcome into the show. It's a great day for college football.
You gotta love it. Big match up, all of the
big shows are in in Michigan for the Battle of
the what is it the battle? Let's go what trophy? Baby?
What makes all right? We'll go in. We're gonna help on. Man, Hey, listen,
(01:33):
if I was on that field right then with Challs
Wilson ran by my sideline with that Michigans over the time.
Come on, man, you can't do that. Little man. I
can't let him run down the field with Michigan flag
on the east lands, not in the runship. That's kind
of disrespectful. Come on, what is I see how? It is?
All right? That is disrespectful. But at the same time,

that is one of the goats of the goats and

gonna be uh like plus eighteen and a half. Yeah. Man,
you know that Ellinois game really changed the way um
(02:39):
we're being viewed right now. But listen, we lost to Illinois,
so so so to think about it. The one thing
we always say, we've had this conversation at length on
this show many of times, is the parody in in
the Big Ten and and just how a team can
trap you. You can get trapped by any type of
team at any point in time. I mean I got
(03:01):
trapped by Perdue, we got caught up by Illinois. I
mean we lost. I was as well. So you know,
I love that about the Big Ten. I hate it
because we knock each other off and we don't have
as much representation as as we should at times in
the playoff. But I mean I like the you know,
I like the competitive compara parody of what's going on
(03:21):
in the Big Ten. I really like where it's at
right now. But anyways, I digress. This is up on game.
As I mentioned, that's which Manzada, That's that's Birds, Mr Bird, Stretch,

with James Jackson from UH Straight Facts UH podcast. We
got Jake Giley coming in later on with Up on Game,
(04:06):
Down on Game to give us some bet predictions and
and and you know, well I'm the best at that,
but well we'll talk about that later. Uh Green Bay,
Great Bay, Arizona after math that you know, I want
to touch on that. Uh, there's there's a whole lot
of there's a there's a plethora, as my man Chad
Dukes would say, there's a plethora of pin yatas to
(04:28):
get to and beat up on while we do this show.
But let's jump let's jump to it. Let's get right
into it. I can't wait to hear y'all's reaction to uh, well,
this week's of James Jackson's I'm On Your Head. No,
it's I'm on Your Head with James Jackson. What's going
(04:49):
on y'all? At your boy, James Jackson, Welcome back to
another episode of I'm On Your Head, presented by the
up on Game Network and Fox Sports Radio. Make sure
to go follow me on my Instagram at the Real
Underscore or Jimmy j for all of my Shaky Baby
videos and the rest of my content up on there.
But for those who don't know, I reside out of
the Philadelphia area. So this next team I'm about to
(05:09):
get on, I don't really have to go far to
do it. The right in my backyard, the Philadelphia Eagles,
I'm on your Head. It's funny they call it the
City of brotherly Love, but I just see a whole
lot of hate coming out of the city right now.
It starts with their second year quarterback Jalen Hurts right,
who was obviously struggling. He threw for about seventy seven
seventy seven completion percentage and his first game the Week
(05:30):
one win against Atlanta. Since then, he's completed just under
sixty percent of his passes in these last four games,
only one of them has been a win. Unsurprisingly, he
ranks twenty nine of thirty four qualifying quarterbacks in that
STATU hurts, don't it? And it's not on him? We
really gotta look at his side coach, right Nick Sirianni
NICKI no words, as I like to call him. And
(05:51):
although the scheme he's running doesn't really fit his quarterback,
has it changed it since they one week one. I
don't think he's a terrible coach, just maybe not to
motivate grown men. I mean, bringing up flowers in your
team meeting and call your team fertilizer isn't really the
way to do it. God, they are playing like crap though,
so that does make sense. They're two and five with
one of the toughest parts of their schedule upcoming right now.
(06:13):
So I hope there and I'm glad that they're ready
for Halloween and Philly because it's getting spooky baby for
the Eagles. They're in a tough city and I hear
the chatter. I know they're hearing it from their fans,
but now they're hearing it from me. Phildelf Eagles, I'm
on your head. The Eagles, fat um, what what you
(06:39):
guys take away from this? Listen? The Eagles have struggled.
They have looked like fertilizer for for plants. Um, but
but is there is there a silver lining here? Um?
So many people are pulling for Jalen Hurts to to
be able to, you know, pull it together. Uh, there's
just so many, so many question marks surrounding this team
(07:02):
right now. Um, they seemingly are are kind of competitive.
They have the Lions tomorrow. I mean, how much of
a how much of a defining moment is this for? Uh,
this team, for Sirianni and this team to to go
up against a winless Lions team defining moment? I mean,
(07:24):
let's be honest. Did anybody think the Eagles are gonna
be good this year? Nobody did. Jalen Hurts is a
young quarterback. Nick Sirianni just from when they hired him
that interview, Everybody's like, wait, wait, wait, y'all hired this
dude as the head coach. Nobody expected the Eagles to
do much this year outside of Davante Smith and and
(07:46):
I love football and I can aime it, But can
you name the starting receiver on that team? No? Alexanders
just hurt. They just traded Zach Ertz. Their offensive line
has been banged up. The Cowboys went they were winning
this division. Soon as the season started, everybody knew us
who's gonna come in second place. We kind of looked
(08:06):
at Washington as a team that could be competitive, but
I didn't the defense has the and see this is
and you see what happens, Right, Fletcher cots in those
guys and they don't like what they're doing defensive. They're
basically taking shots at I believe his name is Jonathan Gannon,
who I've never heard of. Also, you know, our defense
(08:29):
is passed. If we can't be aggressive as we used
to be, they don't let us do certain things. Now
they're taking shots at the the system and what they
do defensively because they're not being effective. Fletcher Cox is
not playing the way he's a cups in the plan,
so now he's taking shots at the coordinator. Like, listen,
we just run what's called. We can't be as aggressive
and we used to be. We see a play, we
(08:49):
have to do this. We can't go make the play.
They gotta figure this out and let the players make plays.
Like these coaches always think they're the reason why Yeah,
you are the reason why why he losing Hey First,
first of all, out of the gate, the first issue
with this whole Philadelphia Eagle team is that Nick Sirianni
was a bad high When he was hired as the
(09:12):
heir as the head coach. We we all sat down,
all three of them, We was like, well, who in
the hell is Nick Sirianni? Like, what are the what
are the requirements to become an NFL here? You have
to be able to compete with them in in a
competitive game of one on one horse. I mean, what
are the required per head coach? Because when he came
(09:32):
on and he did that first interview, everybody was like, man,
hold on, man, what's going on? And then on top
of that, uh, I don't think anybody really expected Jalen
Hurts told really be the answer and be a franchise
quarterback for this organization. And if he is, it ain't
It's not gonna be this, That's what I'm saying. So
you draft DeVante Smith, He's a he's a number one
(09:53):
where I received he was the basketball I receiving the draft.
Me take him? But then you know, you know, zach
Ertz is happy his role as limited, he wants out,
and you trade and you trade him the Arizona So
now you don't even have a pass catching tight end
on the football team who has been bawling for a
zone about all right, he's been the best offensive player
on the Eagles for the last five or six years.
(10:15):
Let me put this one in front of you. Let
me put this one in front of y'all. They have
a ton of of draft stock and and and just
listening to your point, t J, and listening to what
you're saying, plexting, what you're getting at is, how can
how can Jalen Hurts be that guy? With the type
of team that they have now, I don't know how
you overcome coaching. You can't overcome coaching unless you have
(10:35):
players that that can overcome the coaching, and those coaches
get out of the way and let those players, you know,
dictate and and and kind of help with the direction
of this team. Do you think that this Sarianni and
and this coaching staff will have enough time do you
think Hurts will have enough time for them to get well, okay,
there you go to get what I was gonna say,
is to get enough draft picks to develop Actually a
(10:58):
competitive team again, because you guys do know that building teams,
you know, it still takes time. It still takes, but
people don't seem to grass that concept that it actually
still two day people. Listen to what we here's some
game for y'all. This is free gag. No matter what
(11:20):
you do in your life, no matter what it is
that you're planning to be successful at, if you're starting
from square one, it will take hold on here comes sometime.
It takes, It takes time. It doesn't happen overnight, doesn't
happen right away. And I just don't think I think
(11:40):
we have a microwave. It's a microwave. It's way too quick.
You want it now, but you gotta have the ability
and the opportunity. Is this one of those situations where
they're going to force us in which Michigan is getting
out on Michigan State. By the way, they gotta pick
and then now they just had uh andrew anybody and
(12:01):
and by the way, by the way, sorry, plex, I
do have Michigan winning this game. Man, Listen, listen to
your opinion. You know, I mean, do you think that
this is more of a symptom of they're not going
to be able to do it. I think I know
(12:22):
what you're you're thinking, plexity. You know who is he?
Where is he from? Wise, he's a bad hire So
maybe he's not the guy that can do it. But
if he has the opportunity, do you think with given time,
they would be able to turn this Philadelphia Eagles team around?
You don't know, Lavarti. We don't know what Nick Siriani
(12:42):
is as a coach. Obviously, when you lose, what's the
first thing the coaches do? I don't have a quarterback.
He can do this, he can do that. Instead of
looking themselves in the mirror, Let's tailor this offense to
what Jalen Hurts does well, and let's trying to limit
the things that he doesn't do well. As far as
what's in our system. You don't know if Nick Siriani
(13:05):
is that dude. It was a surprise, Hier. I'll be honest,
I had never heard of him. I'm glad, I'm glad
we're all in agreement on that. You know, and it
doesn't no doubt, But it doesn't matter that we haven't
heard of him and we didn't know who he was.
That now saying he's not a good coach. It just
felt like they might have been people more qualified. He
got the job. It matters when you suck as a
(13:26):
head coach. I mean, let's be honest. If you're winning,
it's like, oh he was a great fine, But if
they suck, which he's sucking it up right now, like
like a man. James Jackson said, fertilizer for the plants.
You know that, you know what it is. Interviews man
like this is the second one. But the calm. Yeah, yeah,
that's what he is. You know what he needs. DJ

check us out. You know. We come on early on
Saturday mornings. It's it's nine am Pacific time, it's noon.
Uh if you're on the East coast, So you work
(19:16):
that one now, okay, guys, um Arizona Green Bay. This
this is the aftermath of this game is pretty interesting
to me. I had some great takeaways from it. Uh.
You go into the game shorthanded as as Green Bay.
We have had all of these conversations coming into the season.
Aaron Rodgers dominated the headlines and they had a slow
start obviously, you know, having a rough outing and week
(19:39):
one they get a lost. Everybody's wondering you know, is
it all gonna be justified to get rid of Aaron Rodgers? Uh? Okay,
And I'm gonna I'm gonna lead out for y'all to
jump on that because there's a whole lot of soft
meat on that one that is that is not a
hard rip uh to jump at that meets coming right
off of that bone. And then Arizona, you know, the
(20:00):
question was and years passed since Kyler Murray is taken
over in Cliff Kingsbury have taken over. They have done
well as a team. They have constantly improved. We've seen
the improvement of Kyler Murray. But then we always have
the question of Okay, they've they've they've slipped up, they've
fallen back during years past, and we were wondering, what's
(20:20):
that gonna take place in a game like this against
Green Bay. They end up losing the game, but it's
kind of like I kind of felt like we left
the game with a question mark, with an incomplete as
it applies to Arizona and to to Kyler Murray. I
don't think it would be fair to say that this
is the same Arizona Cardinals team. I don't think it
would be fair to say that Kyler Murray let this
team down based off of how they lost this game.
(20:43):
But it did happen. They did lose the game. Uh.
Aaron Rodgers did not have an amazing day statistically, Uh,
but he did not have two of his main weapons.
So what's the takeaway from this game? Fellas after seeing
Aaron Rodgers win um based upon not even having you know,
Aaron Jones, which is a running back, was his leading
(21:03):
receiver in the game, and that was only fifty one
yards and they still found a way to beat the
Arizona Cardinals. What say you, guys? You know what it
shows me. I'll give you two things. The Packers are
really good that opening week. I don't know what happened.
They just laid an egg. But man, receivers mean a
lot to offenses. Man, that's what that's received. All these
(21:30):
people they hey, they better check themselves. They better checked themselves.
Like I'm starting to realize, Like as much as they
want to hate us and call us it, when you're
Aaron Rodgers and you throw for a hundred and eighty
four yards two for thirty seven, your top two receivers
(21:50):
aren't there. There's no way them top two. He's throwing
for a three hundred Yeah, received like under Valum do
outside of the quarterback and that the guys up front.
There's no position more important than the receiver because if
Davonte Adams there, that game is not as close Kyler
Murray had all these guys. DeAndre Hopkins is in and
(22:12):
out because of his hamstring. But that was my takeaway
the Packers, this is a really good team. They are
a really good team la Fleur. Whether you give him
the credit or not, he's done a fantastic job as
a head coach. Because they they'll be missing guys like
Darius Smith hasn't played all year, Sir Alexander has been
in and out of the lineup. They are still winning.
They get crushed first game of the season, water off
(22:35):
a duck's back. We're gonna play next week. But Davontae
Adams is that dude. He's going for a hundred and
eighty four yards without him, and they need to give
Davonte Adams and his age in the room and say
how much you want man listen. Is the one yard
(22:55):
line cursed? Glenn Deals? Is it cursed? I mean, what's
going on? Like this football is getting too cute? Man,
you're on the six inch yard line and you're on
the shotgun on the sixth ins and you're the Green
Bay package. You're known for running the sweep, you're known
(23:16):
for running the football. All of a sudden, these teams
are getting so cute and they think they're like so
smart with the analysis in the and and the and
the and the analytics of what what what defense they're
gonna run. We're gonna come out of this formation, run
the football. We watch the same thing happened to the
(23:37):
Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl. Meanwhile, Jermaine Curse from
the Seattle Seahawks had one of the best catches in
Super Bowl history and nobody ever talks about it because
of that play. But getting back to what TJ were saying,
with these wide receivers not being in the football game,
(23:58):
I mean, just look at what's happening. If you're Matt Lafleur,
it is easy to call plays when you have Vonte
Adams on the football field because you know he's gonna
get double team and you can put players in situations
to have success. He didn't have that option the other night,
So you know what, I actually gotta call some plays,
(24:19):
and and and and it happened over the and with
DeAndre Hopkins also, But getting back to that last play
of the game and miscommunication between A J. Green and
Kylin Murray, I am really surprised and shocked that they
were not on the same page. And with a J
being a veteran, I love a J. With him coming out,
(24:42):
he's just like he just wasn't focusing and dialed in
and knowing that the ball is coming out hot and
knowing that you're on zero coverage and you have one
but guy, that's blessing. He's gonna be free. It's almost
as like, uh, he was expecting for Colin murdered step
drop and Kylin mer was in the three step. It
(25:03):
looked like he was going to run because he never
turned around. It was like it was just shield. It
was almost like he knew the ball was going to
the other side. It wasn't coming in this direction. But
when you see man and man, they're going to the
single side receiver and this cover Z wrote, Okay, alright,
because I want to I want to expand on that.
I do want to expand on that. Let's do this.
(25:25):
I got some sound from Cliff Kingsbury, which may throw
a little bit of of oil, a little bit of
gas on this fire that y'all just started with with
A J. Green. Y'all hating on him the way that
y'all hate he's a Hall of Fame, the way y'all
just hated on A J. Green. I'm not hating what
I want to. Come on, I'm talking about understanding and
(25:52):
knowing and understanding what covered you? Okay, hold on, hold on,
this is what I want to do. We're gonna got hey,
We're gonna go to Ralphie. Were all to go to Ralphie.
We're gonna We're gonna table. We're gonna table his hate
that came from two receivers, uh, two great receivers, and
we're gonna go to Ralphie for trendy. What the guy, Robbie? Well,
we got a whole lot of college football today, King Gentleman. Yeah,
(26:12):
we'll start number two Cincinnati playing at two lane on
the green Way. That sounds unamazing, but go ahead, it's unamazing.
Desmond literally one year touchdown run. Cincinnati already as seven
nothing lead at two lane, one fourteen to play in
the first quarter of that contest, meanwhile, number six Michigan
playing at number eight Michigan State. And plus, you're not
(26:35):
gonna like this back to throw mcmare looks throws. He's
got his man Anthony, he's at the thirty. He's gottee.
He could do the distance, man Joel Anthony, he's lasting.
Native visit the ten five. He's lasting. Oh my goodn
that's Jim brand Center from lear Field. And when I
heard that, when I heard that part, I knew this
(26:57):
was just gonna punch your right in the gun. Yes,
it's SAMs as though he needed to have a Michigan
flag in his hands with the ball and run down
sat line like like Charles, Yeah, sorry, go ahead, go ahead.
But anyways, Michigan the seven nothing lead over Michigan State
six thirteen to play in the first quarter of that contest.
(27:19):
Number nine Iowa playing at Wisconsin and the Badgers on
the scoreboard first, they have the seven nothing lead over
Iowa three a white to play in the first quarter.
There Texas playing number sixteen Baylor. They're tied at seven
five twenty nine to play in the first quarter in
Miami at number seventeen Pittsburgh. Those two sides tied at
(27:41):
seven nine oh four to play in the first quarter.
One note from the NFL, Matt Maaggie will not be
cleared from COVID protocol for the Bears games Sunday against
San Francisco. Special Teams coordinator Chris Tabor will handle the
head coaching duties. The I would say the coach pride was,
(28:01):
ain't nobody care naggy? All right, go ahead, take a break. Well,
we won't find out if anybody cares or not. But
right now, you know what we're gonna do. What we're
gonna do, Go up on Good Hey, hey, t J.
Why why is Ralph he able to stay up on
James like that? Bro? You know our Ralphie's doing. He's
defined as the supplement for driven man that supports healthy
(28:23):
to stop the wrong level boosenergy and helps you get lean.
Visit him drive from men dot com for off with
promo code t J. Don't let age beat you get
them drive because age ain't nothing but the number going
down ain't nothing but a thing. Ye okay, alright, alright,
(28:45):
look fellas, I gotta I gotta continue this conversation because
y'all was going real hard on my boy. A J.
Green Man and listen and listen, but but listen. His
coach even had some interesting things to say. Let's take
a little listen to this and then y'all can get
back to y'all full throttle hat and here we go.
What was the plan that let's play? What did you want?
(29:05):
Just in general that, yeah, we didn't run around. I'm
not said it wasn't around that check. Okay, it wasn't
real good audio that. Let me let me decipher that
for you, because that was just the worst audio I've
ever heard from an interview ever. But he said, we
(29:26):
basically had what we wanted and the check was was
the check and and basically A J. Green didn't get
the check. We need to communicate better. Now that's kind
of sort of a lightweight. A J. Green you should
have known. But we got to communicate better because I
(29:48):
don't want you to feel as though, um, I'm fully
throwing you under the bus for not turning around and
winning the game. He threw him under that bus and
he got random. He got hit by both of the
wheel Did they did they did in reverse the bus?
Did they put it in reverse or did they just
keep driving? They kept going all the way to Tucson.
(30:10):
But listen, man, that's what they went party down there.
They put him under the bus reservation. Listen, it's either
one or two things happened on this place. Colin Murray
checks out of the out of the plate. What what
whatever he has going on. He's trying to relate the
call to A J. Green. Either A J. Green thinks
(30:33):
it's a run, because that's what it wasn't a run.
They were going. A J thought it was a run. Yeah,
I don't know about that, though, Man, I think they were.
I'm explaining what what what I'm thinking, what is he
gonna happen? I think thought it was going to the
other side because he actually was running a route. Either way,
(30:54):
you gotta give me some more either way, you gotta
give me some more exuberus on the route keeping man
ja dude, Hey, we come we were competing to when
the when a football game, I don't care if the
ball is supposed to be were supposed to be going
to the other side. You don't come off the ball
like that. And at that point of the game. Now forever,
and I mean, you're always going to have a guy
(31:15):
like a Kyler Murray that's gonna be able to improvise
during the course of the game. I mean, why would
you not be ready? I mean, I know his ankle
was sore, and he wasn't he wasn't going maybe he
wasn't gonna run, but game listen, I'm gonna give a
j more credit than not. You're gonna go back, No,
come on, go back. On the hand, I'm going to
say that, hey, Kyla Murray checked out of this play
(31:39):
and A J. Getting thought it was a run because
there's no way a guy like a J. Green Hall
of Fame wide receiver will come off the ball. And
when a route like that in that situation. He's never
been that kind of a player. A J. Green when
he goes out in places, man, he gives a hunting
in tem Ple cent all day long. That was a
ten percent minus. It will be totally out of this.
(32:03):
It will be totally out of never now, because that
was a hundred percent minus out of his character to
note to not go out there and compete to the
fullest of his ability. Let me ask you. I'm going
to say that he thought it was all right, and
and and I get that, and and clearly you thought
it was going to the other You thought he thought
(32:23):
it was going to the other side. T J. Let
me ask you all this. A. J. Green was unavailable
for comment because he did not want to talk to
the media. I mean, he's always been a quiet dude, okay,
but you still got to face the music when something
like this happens. He didn't want to do it. What
does that make you think? Doesn't like to me? The
first thing I thought was, you could be upset, but
(32:43):
you could still say listen. It was just one of
those things. It was a mistake. I thought it was
one thing, it was another, and keep it moving. He
did not want to talk to the media out of
out of anger, So then now you're left to try
to assume why that is. First thing I thought was
he was wrong, like like you, you messed up, like you,
you messed it up, and you should said you messed up,
(33:04):
but you didn't want to say you messed it up.
Any what's y'all take on it? Anytime the ball goes
to him, Kyler Murray knew what he wanted, so he
had to have been wrong. If Kyler Murray threw you
the ball and you didn't do what Kyler Murray expected
you to do, and if you go back and look
at it. Kyler Murray gave him some type of signal,
(33:25):
so it had to have been a J's fault in it. Dude,
he's new to the system. He just got there. You
go over all the hand signals and things of that nature.
But if you're a receiver and you line up and
you see cover zero, you know if you guys don't
have a cover zero beater called it's an audible coming.
(33:46):
You know that. You you line up, you see, oh,
this looked like this can be zero. Let me so
you start looking in like is he's seeing what I'm seeing?
And so it was just miscommunication. It's a regular season game.
They'll learn from it. They'll move on. They have one lost.
That sounds good. That sounds good. But let me put
this one to you too. Let me come to y'all
on this one. Because last year, when when the mishaps
(34:08):
took place for Russell Wilson, he'd started throwing a couple
of interceptions, a couple of things happen, he's out all
of a sudden, he's totally out of the m v
P race. Now you're talking about the same guy that
ends up winning the m v P is the reason
why this team was able to win that game against Arizona,
and regardless of of anything, because it was really more
so something else other than Aaron Rodgers the reason why
(34:30):
they won this game. But with that being said, do
you think maybe A. J. Green is getting maybe roped
into this and and and thrown under the bus by
A Kingsbury and and and to to in in a
in an attempt to make sure that Kyler Murray's opportunity
to be in this m v P race isn't isn't
ruined because that I mean, the game's on the line,
(34:53):
It's a big game. Kyler Murray is clearly top of mind,
front of mine in the conversation of being in the
MVP race. Losing effort like this on the final game
where you throw an interception nonetheless at the end of
the game, could be a detrimental moment for his campaign.
(35:15):
Look here, man, do you not think that and Rodgers
made that trip to Arizona knowing what was that steak?
Everybody was over here talking about Colin Murray is the
m v P of the of of the NFL already
in Week seven, if they go out and beat the
Green Bay Packers, if you know that the character of
Aaron Rodgers, he's not gonna let that happen. He he
(35:37):
knows that. What does that steak y'all talking about Carlin
Murder is gonna be the m v P not on
my watch? When how because they're seven and oh in
the first seven weeks of the season. Come on, man,
it's still early in the season. I don't say who's
an m VP favorite or who who fell out of
contention in one game. I mean, when you look at
(35:58):
the quarterbacks, Kyle Murray through two picks, you you can say, oh,
it should have been one pick through for more yards.
And Aaron Rodgers they both have the same record. It's
a long season, it's a it's a lot of football
left to be played. But it's just the way the
cart Like the way Kingsbury went about this, just said,
(36:20):
was miscommunication, bro, Like you don't have to give an
explanation of Like he's the way he said that, like
he was piste off of AJ, like he wanted to
let everybody know this wasn't me, this was a j
just said it was miscommunication. We weren't on the same page.
We're gonna fix that in practice. You don't have to
(36:41):
come out, and also he has to address the media
and come out and say accept responsibility for being wrong
or the miscommunication of whatever or whatever happened. He can't
just run away from you. Gotta stand in front of
the camera. You know what, Right, you know what they say, Hey,
don't sing the blues when you lose, just grin when
you win. Well, I'll tell you what luckily, Uh a J.
(37:04):
Green getting ran over by being thrown under that bus.
That where he got hit by all the tires. Uh,
there was me. I was there. I was there to
pick you up. I was there to scoop you up.
A J. I had to put you in the back
because I got great hauling power with my Dodge Ram
and it's that time of the year. The only way
I would have been able to pick you up, a J.
Is by being in the stadium parking lot. So you
(37:24):

his back. I was tailgating. You got ran over by
the bus, So I made it right. I picked you up.
I put you in there with my coolers, my grills,
and my wide screen TV. I loaded you up in
my Ram. A J. The truck brand you know what,
I had to put you in that one because it's
read defining what the truck can be. I had to
take your rant over self and put you in the
(37:46):
brand that leads the pack and interior design, technology, overall quality.
In fact, JD. Power was like, hey, LaVar, pick this
man up in that Ram because it's the number one
brand in new vehicle quality in the entire automotive in
the street. I had to say, y, a J. The
first time a truck brand has ever been scored that high.
RAM trucks have the rec adorability to hault what you
(38:08):
need and luxurious interiors to make the drive every every
time a very very nice one. Now, I know you
were sore, a J. But you know what, while I
was behind the wheel of that truck and we was
pulling off, they was like, man, A J. Looked like
he hurt. But man, that's sure is a nice looking
Dodge truck that they're driving off in. You want to

Welcome back into up on Game. This is a very
relevant song. It's very relevant song. It's by Nellie. Tell him,
tell him the name of the song. I always sam
number one. Yeah, all right, Welcome back into up on Game.
(41:45):
Number one by Nelly. This this is a song that's
dedicated to one Aaron Rodgers. Everybody put the dirt on them.
They were saying, this is the swan song in Green Bay.
I won't say the person that has been telling everybody
all along, this is not the final season for Aaron Rodgers.
(42:06):
I will not put that out there. But Fellas, what
is your take? Do do you still do people still
should they still feel bullish on Aaron Rodgers leaving after
this season? If I'm a Packer fan, I am, I
don't want them leaving. No, do you wish? But do
you think that this is it? Do you still think
that this is it? Like everybody has said this is
(42:29):
this is the last season? This is this the last
season for Aaron Rodgers? Do you still feel that this
is the last season for him? There? It can't be.
They're planning too well. Like if I'm the Packers, I
don't want to see them go. It really would depend
on how I felt about Jordan's Love. Because if you
(42:52):
can get a good trade off for Aaron Rodgers for
thirty eight year old quarterback, you might have to do it.
If you feel good about what Jordan's Love can do
moving forward, why wouldn't you? Because I think we know what. Okay, teach,
and let me ask you this question. Do you think
(43:12):
Jordan Love is a better quarterback now than than at
thirty eight for the next four or five years? No? Okay, okay, No,
I'm not gonna go no, alright, then you just answer
I'm gonna get that value for Jordan Love. I'm gonna
trade Jordan. This might be Jordan's love. Wait wait, wait,
wait wait, You're definitely putting Jordan Love on trading block,
(43:33):
no doubt, because Jordan Love. Jordan Love will not be
a better quarterback than and Rogers for the next four
or five years quarter years old. Let let's go out
of the limit and say he will never be. I mean,
are we he will never be? That's hard to do.
(43:54):
I'll tell you how. You know. You want to know
how Aaron Rodgers is able to continue doing what he does.
I know, I know how well the supplement ford men
that so far is healthy to stop their own level
boost centergy and help visiting him drying from men dot
com a promo code t J don't age beat you
(44:17):
get him dry. Wow. Okay, we just had to go
ahead and throw that in there, because you know, there's
gotta be a reason why Aaron Rodgers gotta be is
creating memes that that are legendary goat means with memes
with his eyes wide open and his helmet all jacked up.
But he's out there making plays, all right. I agree.
I do not see Jordan love being better than Aaron
(44:41):
Rodgers in the next three to four, maybe even five years,
I think that has to start to become a conversation.
It's been very quiet now. With that being said, start
losing some games, have a slide get something like they're
they're overcoming you know, injuries. I mean that this is COVID,
but you're you're overcoming not having players and you're still winning.
(45:03):
But I do believe the pressure will never be off
of him. Um this season. Speaking of Aaron Rodgers in
terms of if what he's trying to pull off in
my assumption is having more of a say, more of
a place at the table at in Green Bay. He's
got to continue to win. He's put that pressure. It's
almost like remember the Titans when they was like, look,
(45:24):
you lose a game, you're up out of here. You know,
we brought you in here. We ain't want to bring
you in here, but you know, if you lose, we
can justify getting you out of here. I almost feel
like Aaron Rodgers is in that type of situation. But
we'll see how that all plays out. We'll be here
to talk about in and continue to see what that
means for for Jordan's Love as well coming up an
hour two of our fine show. Uh, there was a
(45:45):
report from Jason locking for I hate to do this
to you, but since everybody's getting thrown underbusses and getting
ran over as they you know, Plex and t J
did it to to uh to UH and then and
then Clint Kingsbury, he was right, they're driving it while
they was on the bus. Uh, Jason locking For, I'm
throwing you under the bus right now. You had a
report that uh, Carolina was looking to possibly trade McCaffrey
(46:12):
in order to gain one Deshaun Watson, that that conversation
has heated up. It turns out that that was probably
untrue and those conversations have fallen apart. But I want
to go into would that be a sensible thing to
approach McCaffrey going to Houston in exchange for one Deshaun Watson.
(46:35):
We'll talk about that. We, as I mentioned, have legendary
moments coming up. Andre Davis, you'll you'll want to google
him before you hear this. This this sound is really
good and we have up on Game down on game
coming up as well. Yeah, a lot to get to
one hour to do it, Happy Saturday. Happy College Football Saturday.
