#fsrweekends

Listening to sports radio. Welcome back in to the show up on game Fox Sports Radio. I'm TJ. Houschman Zada. That's Plexico Burrus. As stated earlier, LeVar As A, he's in state college watching his Penn State Nitney Lions take on and struggle with the u c l A Bruins. Then a dog fight, dog fight with man Bruins. U c l A had the ball on fourth down, they got stopped running back, made a bad read. He goes the other way. He might score. But as soon as Penn State plays, anybody would have post that that that little roar is gonna be me. That roar is gonna be at me out. I don't play that again. Oh my great. As soon as they play anybody, I'm telling you where they ranked number seven, they gonna drop so fast.

I don't know what's worse that that that his nippy lying. Well, have you ever been to Virginia Tech and you heard that that that goblin hoki?

That man, it would have to be that one the at least at least I don't know what's worse. Nah, it's not the rory. It gotta be the little what the noise? That sound you just made it gotta be that it got terrible.

Hey, if you guys can find it, play it because it's awful.

Well, we had somebody, somebody gonna find it. Somebody is gonna find it. But we're broadcasting live from tire reck dot com studios. Tireck dot com will help you get there and unmatched selection, fast free ship and free row has a protection over ten thousand recommend installers. Tire reck dot com the way tirebind should be. And I'm going, you know how, I try to read a lot and I stumble upon an article that the nfl PA they basically want to change the way the media interviews players in locker room after the game. So, from my understanding, no more will you be interviewed in the locker room. It will be outside of the locker room. When you're walking out, or you have walked out, you've showered, you've kind of calmed down, and when you walk out the locker room, at least me as a player, when I walk out the locker room, I'm not trying to do no interviews. I'm gone. Once that foot steps out the locker room, I'm not doing an interview. I'm gone. Wit a Diller. But could it be that's what we're accustomed to. That's all we know. I don't know, because it was always a fifteen just for people that are listening, the game would end, the coach will talk to the players if you win the game. A lot of times certain players are doing interview, so the coach waits till the player comes in. A lot of guys hurry up and try to take a shower before that player comes in so that they can get that in and out really fast because the media is not allowed for fifteen minutes. I was always one of the last dudes out because I got to wash my hair and all that, so, you know, it always take me a long time. But I don't I don't know what to make of not allowing the media in the locker room, you know, at all.

I think it has anything to do with, you know, interviewing the player in the locker room. I think a lot of things are changing as far as access to the locker room, and you know how the locker room is after the game, and you know, being interviewed, you know, with no clothes on and all of those.

Kinds of things.

I think that's more of the direction that the NFL is going in versus.

It's the nfl PA that it suggested this, not the NFL, the NFL PA.

Now, I mean, if you think about what I'm saying, TJ No, I get no right. I think that's where they are leaning with me.

Could it be? Could it be instead of letting the media, because if you win a big game, you got certain dudes, they just gonna play their music loud to say, hey, man, hey turn that down real quick. Could it be not fifteen minutes after the game, twenty twenty five minutes after the game, because when players walk out that locker room, they gone, nobody's gonna sit there and do no ten fifteen minute interview because you see your family. They ready, they've already been sitting out there thirty minutes waiting on you, and so you ready to leave. I think a compromise could be instead of a fifteen minute grace period, make it twenty five minutes, because you're you right about that though, the guys that take their time and maybe getting the cold tub, but whatever it may be. Now you got dudes walking around naked, and let's just call it what it is. You you bring the listeners into a locker room. I mean, it's some perverts on the team now and es just gonna walk around naked. Just a lot.

More female reporters, yes, right now. Woever say that they're trying to change the narrative of that part of it.

Plexico, It's been going on forever. Bruh. I'll never forget, man, we had it was two dudes on our team. I'm not obviously, I'm not gonna name them two dudes. And they mean they barely played. They were they barely played, so it wasn't like they were players that you guys would know the names anyway, these dudes, once the female reporters came in, they would purposely walk around naked. We're like, bruh, what are you doing like that? They would purposely walk around naked. And it's like, so that part of it I get. I think we get them twenty five minutes, everybody will be dressed and now do the interview, because I'm telling you now, when you wait till you get outside of the locker room, nobody's gonna you're not gonna get no interviews. And I believe the interaction with the media, the media, they got a job to do, man, and I think this is where it gets touching because they have a job to do. If they don't get these interviews, then what happens to their job. They need these interviews to support their family, as we need football to support ours.

I've been in multiple situations where you know, you have a big game, you have a game when a touchdown or whatever the case may be, and you know, I was always you know what I'm gonna get. I'm gonna shower and I'm gonna get dressed and then I'm gonna do my interview.

That's always me too, I was.

And you know, you would take thirty forty minutes a cold cub, whatever the case may be, and people would they were just standing there thirty forty fifty sixty reports, especially playing up here. They were just standing there while you would just take good tower just waiting for everybody was just standing there watching. Yo, this is crazy. But you know now that you have bought this to my attention, I think this is more of what they are trying to, uh, you know, get rid of moving forward because this female sports and female reporters and all of these things. The game is changing, everything is changing. I don't think that you know they wanted to get away from, you know, interviewing the player in the locker room, because that's when you're going to get the most, you know, honest opinion of whatever the playof athlete may have to say. But I think they're changing it because of everything that we just mentioned.

Yeah, I mean, now we got it. They gotta be careful though, because if you don't give interviews, you get fined. It's part of it's part of being a professional athlete is to get interviews because that's how the fans keep up with the player.

If they want to interview me when I walk up the locker room, I'll walk on the other side of the building. I'm not even becoming out of that door. You're not even be able to find me.

I agree, And this is why it should be a twenty five minute grace period. And now everybody, they should be dressed, everybody should have on clothes. But you're right like, hey, hey, Plexico, can we get an interviewed, And we'll say, yeah, let me get dressed real quick, And they just sit there about ten feet away talking to each other, and then as soon as you turn around, you'll be like, I'm ready to here. They all come that's just what they do. But they have a job to do. But the like you said, with the female reporters, and then you got these little perverts on the team. Yeah, bro, we used to be like brou put your clothes on, what are you doing? And he just have a little smirk on his face walking up and down the locker room. Right. Ain't nobody trying to look at you. Ain't nobody talking to you, like what are you doing? And so I don't know what is going to come of this where the NFL agrees. I don't know what happens if you say this passes it, or they agree to this, the National Football the NFL agrees to this, and you walk out of the locker room, you just don't want to do an interview. Could that constitute being fined? I don't know. There's just so much that they'd have to clear up. I think the best situation would be just changed the buffer period. It will now be twenty five minutes instead of fifteen. To me, I think that's the best way to go about it. We'll see what happens. I don't I don't know. I wonder who broached the idea. Who, because it's what you say, there's so many more female reporters that cover the league. It's a respect thing for them. It's also a respect thing for the players. We'll see what happens. We don't know where this is gonna go. We will see where this takes us, but it will be either way, it'll be something different. I assume I don't believe it will stay the same. UCLA is driving third down a quarterback. They will be kicking a field go now. So yeah, they're still in a dog fight with the pinch date. Nitney lyons.

Mister Meana, how how far is she from you?

Like where y'all grew up at oh Man probably ten fifteen minutes f Now realize here locally beside me here in New Jersey, that's my girl.

Yeah. The young kids don't know nothing about this. Hey, why it sound like it's still new to or we just old. So it just sounds like that does for the people that are that are listening. You're not gonna hear the music, but this is Missy Elliott. Yeah, we just reminiscing our old tels. Welcome back in up on Game. We live from tyreck dot com Studios. That's plexical, Burrs. I'm TJ. Houschmann. Zada this story here, man is uh. I read a couple of articles actually texting this morning. He didn't respond yet. I don't get it. Man, Romeo Dobbs, I read they play the Rams tomorrow. Romeo Dobbs is a Los Angeles native, born and raised here, so he's coming back home to play a hometown team. And I'm like, okay, wait, he missing practice for personal reasons. I'm like, man, I hope everything all right. Just shot him a message like you're good, everything all right with your family? And then I read this morning he his personal reasons are he not getting a ball, that's why he ain't practicing or playing tomorrow. I almost I couldn't believe what I was reading. I hope that's not true. And if it is true, these young fellas y'all need to really look at who you getting advice from, whether it's your agent, whoever's in your inner circle, you who's giving you advice to skip a game and skip practice over not getting the ball, Go talk to the coach, talk to the quarterback to O, see whatever. But skipping practice and skipping games because you not getting a ball. I don't maybe it's just a different day and age, but when we was playing, I wish you would skip practice or skip a game for personal reasons. And a personal reason is you not getting the ball. Whoever his representation is, I don't know who it is, who's his agent or who advised him to do this. He in terrible advice, man, terrible advice.

Your thoughts the ultimate or the ultimate selfishness. And I'm a wide receiver and you know I read this article early this morning that he's missed two practices this week because he is not getting the football thrown this way. He had twelve catches for one hundred and sixty nine yards on the year, and he's averaging five targets a game. Plexicon Jordan Love was hurt. Malik Willis was a quarterback. They went to a run dominated type of offense. You're averaging five targets a game. I'm gonna take you back to when I was playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers, myself and heines Ward and we had Jerome bettits at running back. You get fifty five plays a game. Fifty five to sixty plays a game. You agree, would you agree fifty five to sixty five?

Yep?

Okay, Jerome's going to get the ball thirty times going into the game. That's thirty plays. Heines is going to get his five or six attempts. I'm going to get my five or six attempts. Got to get the tight end the ball a couple of times, a couple of swings out of the backfield to a Missouri Way or Willie Parker or whoever the case may be. Those are y'all fifty five to sixty plays a game, and we now we are so devaish as wide receivers that I'm only getting five targets a game.

You know what I played for.

I played in Pittsburgh for five years, and I think out of that the whole time of me playing five years in a Pittsburgh still a uniform, I had double digit catches I believe twice in my career, and that was playing in Pittsburgh.

So you know what, when you got those five or six attempts.

You had to get open and you had to catch.

The football.

That was playing wide receiver twenty five years ago. For all you young fellas that don't know, we was getting five or six attempts a game, and we made it work.

We were having.

Thousand yard seasons with sixty receptions, not one hundred and twenty, not one hundred and thirty, not one hundred and forty catchers, thousand yard seasons with sixty yard with sixty receptions, and we made it work. So now I'm not getting the rock, I'm not getting to peel. So you know what, man, I don't even want to play on the team no more. And your teammates looking at you like dog. I mean you knowed me, young man, I don't know him.

You really not like that.

You're a good player, but you're not a Justin Jefferson or Jamar Chase.

Oh he's elite of wide receivers.

Now that you're not getting the ball, you don't want to play on the team.

He number one. Come on, he's an extremely quiet kid. He's chilled sou I don't know hit up. But now, talent wise, if you've seen him in person, it when I was shocked. He's big, he's fast, he's quick like talent, So what's the problem. I don't know, Like when I think that time want to get No, he's too talented. No, they want to get him the ball. I mean he had what twelve thirteen touchdown receptions last year, so why would they wanted them getting to get the ball? Malik Willis gets hurt. They have to change how they're going to run their offense. That's number one. Number two is when you express your frustrations, who do you express them to? He has an older brother, who is he expressing these frustrations to. I would assume his brother and or his inner circle is inner circle being his agent. I keep going back to the agent because what kind of advice are you getting? What kind of advice are you getting where you're an agent think this is smart for you to do? Who's giving you? I know, such advice where they think this is the right thing and it's not.

And you know how this game goes. Man, There'll be one week I have run two three catches. The next weekend you explode and like there's no pay, there's no more patience.

Christian Watson ain't even playing this week, so you doing this on a week where he not playing. Now, Jordan Love is probably close to being one hundred percent better than he was last week. You're gonna get more targets this week, man, I was when I was in Pittsburgh. Man, Obviously we were winning football games.

But if I got the ball thrown in me seven times a game, you're not gonna catch off seven. Maybe they battle ball down or the defensive back makes a great play. You're limited to five catches, five receptions, and that's what we had. And we want miss missing out and skipping out on practice because we're not getting the football. Everybody wants to shine, and I get it, and I understand. This young man is in a beautiful situation with a great young quarterback and a great offense, and there's everybody wants, like the instant grits, you know.

What I mean.

I come from an era where you got to put the grits in the pot. You gotta wait fifteen or twenty thirty minutes for the grits to be done. But nobody wants to wait on the grits no more. They want to put the grits in the microwave. And you want instant grits. There's no more patience. Man, Trust the process. You're in a great place. Embrace it, and from a teammates standpoint, you just look at them.

It comes in the locker room like dog. You don't care about nobody else but yourself. But at some point, at some point, you're picking up the phone and you're calling somebody to ask them what should you do? At some point, he coach, can I talk to you? Coach? You pick up the phone and you call and act somebody what should you do? This is before you go to anybody on the team. You're calling somebody, and man, these dudes are calling the wrong people. They're calling the wrong people. Nobody in their right mind is going to give you advice and say, hey, man, yeah, just don't go to practice. Bro, don't go to practice and don't play. Who was gonna what kind of advice? Hey? Yeah yeah. If I was you, I wouldn't even go to practice. Bro, I was just not practicing. I wouldn't even play this week. What kind of advice is that? This is a young man trying to support his family, and this is the advice you give him. Because if the Packers really want to be uh buttholes about it his way straight up, they could technically find him and not pay him. I mean, like based off the season. You haven't. I mean, it just it's disheartening, man to see this. It's disheartening to see these type of things happen to happen to these young men because it's coming down to who you trust, who you who's opinion you value. Y'all, boys, better get with somebody and some people that's gonna tell you things that are uncomfortable for you to hear. But it's what's best for you. It's what's been I can understand where you're coming from, but this ain't the right way to go about it. This is how you should handle it. And that's advice you should be getting, Like, hey, I don't know what's gonna happen. I mean, they got Jaden Reed, they got D'anatavian Wicks, they have Romeo Dodds, they have Christian Watts, they have four young receivers, all of them can play.

They got the youngest group of wide receivers and they all can play the league, and they all can play.

I just wish he would have called me, because I show would have told his son different. But he's a quiet guy. He's quiet, and if he texts me back, I'm gonna show let him. Know, Bro, you're doing You going about this the wrong way. Whoever told you this, they they wrong? You know what?

The the the attitude should have been. You know what, man, I'm gonna go to work this week and I'm gonna show him. I'm gonna work even harder this week to show them that I'm.

Should be right. But you know what, you don't know his person Like when we training, he's just super chill. He's super chill. He don't talk trash you. He just go about his work.

Bro.

Seemed like he'd run into a wall if you told him that was gonna make him better. So like me me seeing and reading this and hearing this news is are you.

Sitting here saying and asking all these questions? Who is you know? Who is advising him or who was his agent? Maybe you should be the one to be talking to the young man. Don't see this?

This This is the thing, plex, This is the thing because you know how these young dudes are because we were once in their position. I try not to give advice unless I'm asked, because they may look at it. That ain't helping nobody. They they may helping them, Like what does he I don't want nothing from you. I'm not gonna get taken nothing from you. I want you to get everything that you can possibly get from this game, because when it's over, it's over. Like there's some dudes that I let me say, I'll give advice, I'm solicited, but it's the kids and the dudes that I've spent a lot of time with. I've spent time with Romeo, not a ton. I spent a lot of time with Michael Wilson from the Cardinals. So I'll just give him advice and he, whether he listens or not, he respects it because he knows that I want his best interest. I have his best interest at heart. But this will Romeo again. I don't know if it's his agent, who it is. If it is, if it's not coming from his agent, i'm sorry. But if it is, buddy, you gave him terrible advice. If it came from you, and if it didn't, I'm sorry that you know. I even brought your name up in this situation and it wasn't you. But if it wasn't you, you should be telling him what he's doing is wrong, that's wrong, but hopefully it ends well for the young man. I don't get it. I love man. What's your guy for us? With these updates? Baby, Isaac loincron.

See that's why I always take your advice. Everything is just on cruise control. Well, Seventh rank Penn State, after a bit of a turbulent start, is on cruise control against UCLA.

All I'm third and gold takes it. What's coming?

Throws, Hays got more touchdown, Petstack, Hay swept out and into the end zone.

And Madlions put together add outstanding drive.

The call on w q WK is Penn State now has a fourteen to three halftime lead over UCLA. Let's get Penn State alum LeVar Arrington's cogent, sophisticated analysis on the first half.

It loose, I said, come on now, come yeah, close.

Come pretty much sums it up right there. How about number twenty five Texas A and M. They've got a twenty four to nothing halftime lead over ninth ranked Missouri. Texas A and M. Quarterback Connor Wigman has completed fifteen of nineteen for one hundred and ninety three yards. SMU has a twenty one to thirteen lead at number twenty two Louisville. They have twenty three seconds left to play in the first half. Today's Major League Baseball playoff action is underway with Game one of the American League Division Series in Cleveland, and the Guardians have just scored two runs in the bottom of the first inning to take a two to nothing lead over the Detroit Tigers NFL. The Dallas Cowboys have put receiver Brandon Cooks on injured reserve due to a knee issue, keeping him out for at least the next four games. Moments ago, the Miami Dolphins activated receiver Odell Beckham Junior from the physically unable to perform list. He'll make his season debut tomorrow against the Patriots, who are reportedly activating receiver Kendrick Bourne off the physically unable to perform list as well. Guys, back to you.

Were about to get into where I dominate at dominating. I don't even know. I don't even know how I did. You know what? We we about to get up on game down on game lit. We need last weeks. What's last run, right, let's frank, lets back it.

Up down game get down.

That's right up on game down on game last week. Everybody, You guys all finished the same. You were all tied. I don't want Yeah, we don't have to go into detail about how you guys finished, but you guys all all tied. Yeah, that's fine. Uh got three games here for you guys, all these lines and odds courtesy of our friends over at DraftKings. We're gonna start off here with the Baltimore Ravens heading to Cincinnati. If you take on these Cincinnati Bengals. Of course, Baltimore a two and a half point road favorite. The total currently said at forty and a half, So TJ what you got here.

I'm gonna pick with my heart on this one. Picking with my heart, I'm going with the Bengals, and I believe it will be a high scoring affair. So I'm gonna take the over, even though that's a lot of points. I'm gonna take the over.

You know what, man, You know how much I love me some Joe Burrows and Jamaal Chase. But the Ravens are one to three. They need to get this win. They are gonna find a way to grind it out in Cincinnati the run game with Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson. So I'm taking the Baltimore Ravens with the points and.

With the pointspread, the spread is two and a half.

The totals forty eight.

And a half.

Yep, they win by three.

Gotcha perfect?

All right?

Next up, we have the Buffalo Bills heading to Houston to take on the Texans. Texans a one point favorite here at home, the totals currently said at forty seven.

I like the Houston Texans, obviously Stefon Diggs being a former Buffalo Bill, their leading receiver with the Bills, Kalil Shakira will not be playing, So I'm gonna take the Texans to win this game, probably take the under on the points. Maybe the Buffalo Bills. No, you know, everybody was saying there one of the best teams. After that three and on start, that will be three and two after tomorrow.

You know what. I have to take the Houston Texans. Also, I believe that the Buffalo Bills are not the team that everybody thinks that they are because they got off to a three and no start. Even though the Texans do not have Joe Mixon, I'm still taking CJ. Stroud in his offense. I just believe that first month of the season is gone and the Houston Texans will be the team that we think they can be in the AFC, So I'm taking the Texans.

All right. Next up here we have the Green Bay Packers and Romeo Dobbs headed to Los Angeles out here to play the Rams, green Bay three point road favorite. Here in the over unders set for this.

One, well, I'm going with Matthew Stafford and the Rams.

I'm not taking the Green Bay Packers.

They were my dark horse dish coming into the season in the NFC, but obviously the Minnesota Vikings have taken over that slot. So I'm gonna go with Matthew Stafford it and any of your Los Angeles Rams. Not of Stafford guy, but I just believe that they will beat the Green Bay Packers at home tomorrow.

You know what, for the sake of I don't want me and Plexico to have all the same picks, I'm gonna take the Packers. I just don't want to pick all three games the same as each his pick.

So I'm gonna take the Green Bay Packers and say they gonna.

Win this game.

It for no reason, Yeah, just for no reason other than I don't want to be the same exact picks as you. So I'm taking the packers that I'm going over just because Yes.

Welcome back in to up on Game Live from a Tireck dot com studio. I'm TJ. Houshman's out of that's Plexico Burris. As we come to the end of the show, I don't know if you tuned in, I've watched. I wouldn't say the whole game, but I probably caught some of it. Bronnie James made his preseason NBA debut. Did you see it? I believe he went one for six. He scored I think it was like just under a minute left in the game, had some nice, nice blocks, led to team and blocks. Really good defensive player. Obviously, I'm not sure if you saw it, but if you did, your thoughts. I know it was a ton of nervousness slash anxiousness for him. I'm sure Lebron sitting on the bench because Lebron did not play, was probably a little more nervous for his son than the son was for himself. What are your thoughts?

You know what, I just don't know how this thing is going to go moving forward. You know, obviously you don't. These fans can be ruthless and social media and all the things that they have to say about him and his position and should he be in the NBA or how he got there, whatever the case may be. You know, he had a team in blocks. I mean it's the preseason. Will he lead a team in blocks during the regular season? You go one for six? I mean, I think he's playing to the level of what we basically expect. He's not going to go out and be a fifteen to twenty point guy in this league, and he's going to make it. I believe that he's going to make his way with hustle, extra effort, playing you know, stout defense, getting stills, getting blocks. You know, I believe that's kind of what is going to be his role moving forward. You know, come into this league and if you ask him to go out and be in a leak score, I don't think he's that kind of player, you know, but what you see.

Is what you're going to get.

If he goes out and he does have one of those fifteen to twenty point games, you'll probably be surprised because you don't expect for those things to happen. But I think for him moving forward, man, it's just going to be you know, what you get out of him. I mean, I don't know what else to say about him. It's just he goes one for sick. He scores what a couple of points, a couple of blocks. That's who Barni James is going to be.

Yeah, I mean for him, it's gonna be a learning curve, a huge learning curve. But if defense is gonna be your calling card, then that's what it is. Until your offensive game comes along. He will have a long runway because of who he is and who his father is. That's just the reality of it. I wish he'm nothing but the best. I'm pretty much gonna watch every game so well, we know you all see the progress. I'll be giving I'll be giving y'all weekly upates because I watch all the updates.

Roger Bell and Bruce Bowen they made their way through the NBA playing defense. But those guys were six five and six.

Yeah they're a little bigger, yeah, not six feet six one and a half. It's possible. I mean, if you're gonna put the work in, if you're willing to put the work in, the results are gonna come. You just gotta be willing to work. Now. Alo said this earlier before we did up on game down on game with the updates, and I just thought, like, man, we hadn't heard this guy's name in a long time. We hadn't seen him on the football felt in a long time. Do you believe OBJ can still be a factor, a difference maker in the National Football League? Not with this Miami Dolphins team, with the quarterback that they'll when Tua comes back, and this just say too, what's healthy? Can O b J be a difference maker for this Miami Dolphins team? He's going to make plays?

I mean I don't think that you can, you know, just flat out just disrespect ob J and not you know, guard him and you know, uh, you know, just disrespect him. I think you still have to guard to him. I think he's going to go out and make plays. But we if you if you expect for him to go out and be elite with the talent that they have with you know, Jaylen Waddle and you know Tyreek Hill, I do believe that those days all behind him, just because from an injury standpoint, he's miss a lot of football games. Uh, you know, you don't know how the timing is going to be when he gets back in his offense, I just you know, I believe that he's he's a uh, he's a every down receiver. You know, he's going to make those splashes. He's going to make some great catches. But on a weekend and week out basis to ask him to go out and you know, be who he was, you know, seven eight years ago. I believe those times are behind him, just be from an injury standpoint.

But he's going to go out and make plays.

I mean, he can still catch the football and he can still run as far as we know. But you know, don't expect for him to go out and have you know, one hundred and sixteen hundred and seventy yard games, you know, playing in this offense.

So we have a couple of minutes, were just doing a little quick hitters, little quick hitters. Quarter of the season is over. Who has been your surprise player? A guy? That man, the dude is balling. I did not expect this.

Man, you know what. Jordan Addison. He has been one of the unsung heroes in his Viking offense with Ko, with Kevin O'Connell. I was here with him with the Jets and Kayo is extremely sharp man. You know, he's a quarterback. He understands offense, and these two guys together just may be the best duo in all of football because that they're completely unselfish. Everybody knows what Justin Jefferson brings to the table week in and week out. And now this man is making a name for himself and is being, you know, one of the top five or top ten wide receivers in his league. And I believe he's going to continue to get better. This reach is the same reason why he was a bulletant the call for winning in college when he was at University of Pittsburgh, because he's that dynamic of a player. But you team him up with Justin Jefferson, who steps on the field on Sundays and all these defenses schematically all they want to do is double team. He's going to get a lot of one on one matchups and he's going to win a lot of one one matchups. But for him, I think the level of that he's playing at right now, he can.

He can. He can.

He's on a path to lead the league in catch his jaws and touchdowns if he keeps going in the direction that he's going.

It's crazy that you said Jordan Edison because I'm staying on the same team. I think it's a no brainer. It's not even close. It's Sam Donald. What Sam Donald is doing and has done is what many expected him to do when he was drafting the top five. It's been remarkable. Like Sam Donald should and will be the comeback player of the year. The question will be moving forward, can he keep this starting job? What does he have to do to keep this starting job? Because you know they drafted JJ McCarthy in the top ten, So I said Sam Donald, but he's gonna have to do a lot more to maintain this starting quarterback job with the Minnesota Vikings. And what is a lot more? We don't know. Only your boy Ko knows. But man, two hours going that fast, It's been a fantastic two hours, my boy, Plasico Burris. I'm teaching hush Manzada up on game Fox Sports Radio. Appreciate you guys tuning in.
