Do y'all take any issue with these two guys declining to talk to the media and saying basically like, I'm out, y'all get home safe? I do.

T.J. HoushmandzadehGUEST
I feel like we can be really good, but we've also shown we can be really bad.
T.J. HoushmandzadehGUEST
When I say really bad, I don't mean bad in the sense that we don't play good football.
T.J. HoushmandzadehGUEST
Both of our losses are narrow losses to the Steelers, which we should have won, and a narrow loss to Jacksonville, which we should have won at as well.
Kerry RhodesHOST
of that, though, like even adding some more weapons to the mix as it goes on, right?
speaker_10ADVERTISER
Mm-hmm.
TJ HoushmandzadehGUEST
And to me, this is going to be big for not only Kenneth Walker, but the Kansas City Chiefs as a whole offensively.
TJ HoushmandzadehGUEST
What can you do this Sunday against the Seattle defense? Because they're going to play defense.
TJ HoushmandzadehGUEST
And the Chiefs, what makes them so good is, if need be, we can beat you running the ball.
TJ HoushmandzadehGUEST
The way they utilized Worthy this past week, They need to do that more often.
11 MINS LATER
T.J. HoushmandzadehGUEST
Again, there's going to have to be independent doctors that travel with the team and And that are locally in your city because, and this is a reason why I've never really had a bunch of surgeries.
T.J. HoushmandzadehGUEST
But anytime something happens to you, the vets on the team all tell you the same thing.
Rob ParkerHOST
How does this happen where you put a guy on a plane with blood clots and whatnot, and he's cleared by doctors, and they tell him to stay up for 36 hours and don't fall asleep and all the other stuff? It's horrific.
T.J. HoushmandzadehGUEST
In the same way that they have an independent neurologist when you get a concussion, moving forward, now that's what the league is going to have to do because as much as they're going to say we were looking out for Jalen Hurts, the person and the player, it's very evident.
T.J. HoushmandzadehGUEST
If they have you stay up for 36 hours, they're afraid of you going to sleep.
7 MINS LATER
TJ HoushmandzadehGUEST
And you would assume he will be, um, When you're a professional athlete, you're going to get top-of-the-line care.
TJ HoushmandzadehGUEST
They're going to make sure, to the best extent possible, that T's across, I's are dotted.
51 MINS LATER
Social TreyHOST
But just to take the conversation a little bit further, do y'all think Josh Jacobs will ever play in the NFL again?
TJ HoushmandzadehGUEST
offense is going fast and they sub somebody in, you still don't have to rush off the field.
TJ HoushmandzadehGUEST
Hurry up field goal for us when we practice that, where it's like 15, 16 seconds left.
17 MINS LATER
Social TreyHOST
Do y'all read into that at all? Should teams still want Tyreek? Do you feel like maybe there was a setback in rehab that teams have become aware of? Is it just too much money? Should teams want Tyreek Hill knowing that Drew Rosenhaus was optimistic about a deal last week and now not as much?
TJ HoushmandzadehGUEST
The Rams season isn't over because when you watch, number one, their special teams got awful.
55 MINS LATER
Emmanuel AchoHOST
To go 10-7 or to go 9-8 or to start off 2-5 or even 2-4, TJ, the Eagles are flirting with the relevancy at minimum for this year.
T.J. HoushmandzadehGUEST
This is the thing with Sirianni, is because of what happened in Baltimore and Dallas, he didn't kick it out the end zone, right? But he has to understand the Ravens had a timeout.
T.J. WardGUEST
So we have to run the ball better, and that'll make the back end and the plays over the middle open up for us.
TJ HoushmandzadehGUEST
Yeah, for Davis Webb, you want the responsibility of calling plays because that is the next step to becoming a head coach.
TJ HoushmandzadehGUEST
And Sean Payton was willing to let go of play-calling duties because he thinks highly of him as a coach, and I didn't want to lose him.
16 MINS LATER
TJ HoushmandzadehGUEST
I'm telling you, this is how when there's no cameras around and they'll deny it, these coaches talk.
TJ HoushmandzadehGUEST
Can you believe this shit? This is what the coaches are saying in the meetings.
17 MINS LATER
Social TreyHOST
So I just want to ask you all for your reaction to this news about Odell becoming the newest Minnesota Viking and how y'all think that's going to fit.
TJ HoushmandzadehGUEST
It's because they're in Jacksonville, and nobody is really a believer in Trevor Lawrence.
TJ HoushmandzadehGUEST
Comes up under McVay, goes to Tampa Bay, does really well with Baker, gets the head coaching job.
T.J. HoushmandzadehGUEST
It's because they're in Jacksonville, and nobody is really a believer in Trevor Lawrence.
T.J. HoushmandzadehGUEST
Comes up under McVay, goes to Tampa Bay, does really well with Baker, gets the head coaching job.
TJ HoushmandzadehGUEST
And they're bad right now because quarterback play is not where it needs to be.
1 HR 4 MINS LATER
Mike VrabelSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Yes.
TJ HoushmandzadehGUEST
I just had the teams mixed up, right? [laughs] I just couldn't believe the way the Eagles offensively couldn't get going.
TJ HoushmandzadehGUEST
And I, and you, you can say he doesn't trust Makai Lemon, and that's fine, but we gotta score more than seven points.
T.J. HoushmandzadehGUEST
But when you sit in offensive meetings, you never throw a post in single high coverage.
T.J. HoushmandzadehGUEST
You never throw a post with single high coverage, one safety in the middle of the field.
8 MINS LATER
TJ HoushmandzadehGUEST
But it's unfortunate for his family because what you are as an athlete, they think that's who you are as a person.
TJ HoushmandzadehGUEST
And the family members, like Cam can handle this, but his family members, they suffer when they should not.
13 MINS LATER
Social TreyHOST
So my question to you all, was this a good Ravens win or just a bad Cowboys loss?
TJ HoushmandzadehGUEST
Now, can Justin Herbert put the team on his back against the Buffalo Bills? Their defense does not look like it's one of the toughest defenses in the league, so the Chargers should be able to move the ball.
TJ HoushmandzadehGUEST
But defensively, w- the Houston Texans couldn't do nothing with Josh Allen.
TJ HoushmandzadehGUEST
What makes us believe the Chargers, they, they gonna, they gonna stop Josh Allen? And, and so the Chargers are struggling defensively, but they're struggling offen- they can't move the ball consistently up the field.
31 MINS LATER
Social TreyHOST
Do you feel like Sunday is Marvin Harrison Jr.'s last chance to prove himself to the Arizona Cardinals?
TJ HoushmandzadehGUEST
It just looks better because, oh, Darius Cooper caught the game when it touched down.
TJ HoushmandzadehGUEST
If A.J. Brown was on the field and that was the play they had run, Darius Cooper would have caught the game when it touched down with A.J. Brown on the field as well.
26 MINS LATER
speaker_1VOICE_ACTOR
Mm-hmm.
TJ HoushmandzadehGUEST
When you say, oh, we also have Trey McBride, who's one of the best underneath guys, and there's only 60 to 65 plays a game, you got to run up.
TJ HoushmandzadehGUEST
So that right there tells me he does not value Marvin Harrison as a football player.
25 MINS LATER
Emmanuel AchoHOST
Does he turn it around? The only problem is if Bryce Young is taking a step forward and if Tyler Shuck, we'll talk about him momentarily, is taking a step forward, T, the Bucs could finish third in the division.
T.J. HoushmandzadehGUEST
But I'll say this, is the defense – They got ran through that first game against Buffalo, but they're a drop interception, an uncontested interception away from beating the Buffalo Bills in week one, and everybody is saying the Buffalo Bills look like the best team in the league.
Rob ParkerHOST
Did they do the right thing in not getting a deal done before the season started?
Social TreyHOST
Fellas, what is your reaction to this Caleb Williams injury, and what are your thoughts?
26 MINS LATER
TJ HoushmandzadehGUEST
They expect Deshaun Watson or any other quarterback, at least give me 250.
16 MINS LATER
T.J. HoushmandzadehGUEST
You can pretty much game plan and run the same exact thing with Caleb Black in the game as when C-Mac is in the game.
JayPANELIST
Just anything that you've seen that jumped off the page when it came to the Patriots and the Seahawks game?
TJ HoushmandzadehGUEST
And then when Romeo Dobbs dropped that ball, I felt like all the momentum.
TJ HoushmandzadehGUEST
Because the next play, if I'm not mistaken, that's when Drake made through a pick.
