No hands. It just say hey Google, hey Siri, hey Alexa, whatever it is. Get its attention. You don't have to lift a finger. We talked about Jaden Daniels.

He's out officially. Against the Raiders. He's out with a knee sprain. We talked about the NFL game that started off week three yesterday. We had a chance to see the Dolphins and Bills.

Well, The Bills won, the Dolphins lost. Not a surprise there. Dolphins 0-3. Bill's a 3-0. No surprises whatsoever.

Hey, we're going to get into Brock Purdy.

Okay, he ain't starting. We're gonna see Mac Jones. Whoopthe-freaking do. Nobody looking forward to that. And then we got more to get into.

Jerry Jones and the Bears How about that? Call em Jerry Jones, not the Cowboys. Jerry Jones just signed a player who got arrested before he signed a contract with a guy. Vetched Avion Clowny. We got Clayton Kirkshaw.

Gave everybody a reason last night why he's hanging him up. We got the game o' the weekend, I think. We got the Rams and the Eagles. We'll get into that. People are still complaining about the tush push.

We're going to be joined by Levi Weaver next hour to talk some baseball. In about 20 minutes from now, we're going to have a chat with Wes Reynolds from Veezen. to talk some NFL. We got a lot to do. If you want to be a part of the show, You can.

Eight eight eight seven ten four ISN is the number. You can find me online, I exist. All over the place at JR Sport Brief. Right before we went to break we talked about a jerk. I think he's a jerk.

I don't know him personally. But as public persona, leads me to believe that he is an arrogant fill in the blank. That's dab old Sweeney. His Clemson Tigers currently have a record of one and two. He's complaining about his critics.

saying that they need to take a look at his track record. Omitting what's taken place recently. No playoff appearances. Not being ranked, Not making the playoffs. Yeah, yeah, he's looking at the entirety.

Of his resume. Good for Dabo, Sweeney. Good for him. That poor baby. And then he's complaining about his players too.

Not as much complaining, but saying, Well, they makin' a lot of money, too. You know, there should be some scrutiny on those guys. What college coach says that? Never heard a college coach say criticize my players. Dabbo sounds like a jerk.

But I must uh avert your attention to someone. who I don't believe. is a jerk. at all. I gotta tell you about somebody.

that I really appreciate. You know, it's hard in in the world that we live in right now. To have a professional athlete who doesn't come across as self centred. a guy that doesn't come across as only thinking about their brand, or selling shoes. It's not that there's anything with making money.

Make as much money as you can. But sometimes you want people to just Be great at what got you into the door. Like before you start siphoning off and being a bum and being distracting and Being a pain in the ass. Focus in on sports first. Can't K do that?

Here we got Clayton. Kershaw. Yesterday Clayton Kershaw told everybody I'm done. I'm hanging it up. This man made his Major League debut in 2008.

He's been playing 18 years. 11 time all-star. Three Cy Young's has had the lowest ERA, 2.54, in the modern era when it comes down to starters. Got a World Series. God bless him.

He got two of them. I mean, he was getting his behind whooped in a lot of these postseasons, but then he eventually won them. Good for him. And he said, some injuries. And more recently, Good for him.

It must be a nice position. Clayton Kershaw has been running these seasons on a a year to year basis. And so last night before the Dodgers took on the Giants and beat em two to one. We got an announcement from Clayton Kershaw. Damn it, we had a press conference at thirty seven years old.

On his way into Cooperstown, I think the earliest he can get in is 2031, he told everybody. I'm done. I'm hanging it up. And then he started crying. Of course he did.

Listen to Clayton Kershaw tell everybody. I'm finished, folks. I'm retiring. I'm gonna call it. I'm gonna retire.

We've talked about it a lot. Ellen and I talked about it a lot. Kiddos talked about it a lot. And I'm at peace with it. I think it's the right time.

And it's been such a fun year. I've had such a blast with this group. I've had such a blast with Um all you guys. Done. Less fun.

And that's the one thing. When a professional athlete is done, These guys got to think about what's next. I don't think Clayton Kershaw is one of these guys who's going to wake up and all of a sudden now he's going to be broke. He'll probably just hang out on his ranch back in Texas outside of Dallas and he'll mind his business. He'll pop up in LA here and then Shake some hands, kiss some babies, take some photos, and he'll take his behan right back to Texas.

Good for him. He said this is the perfect time. Hey Clayton. Why is it the perfect time? I can't think of a better season to go out.

And we still have a lot to accomplish, obviously, this month. And the last thing I want to do is be a distraction to anybody for accomplishing our ultimate goal, to win in the last game of the season.

So we're going to get through this today, and then we're going to go win the rest of the games and be good. Yeah, you see. He can still go another year if he wants to. I mean, he's at this point of his career he's good for about six innings, five, six innings. Give up a run here or there, strike out a couple of guys, but he's much more inconsistent.

Okay, let's put it that way. He doesn't have what he used to have. Clayton Kershaw used to sit you down. I'm talking about that no-hitter in 2014. He just went past 3,000 strikeouts.

He's the 20th player in Major League Baseball history to do so. And at this stage, he doesn't want to be a distraction. Everybody knows eventually. It it it comes to an end. Like nothing lasts forever.

He's probably gonna be somebody that they employ out of the bullpen. Clayton Kershaw is not what he used to be.

Now, I'm not saying that I want to see this man go out with another World Series. I mean, the Dodgers are just. Do you need another one? Is it absolutely necessary? And so tonight Clayton Kershaw He will be on the mound, This is going to be his final home start.

As a Dodger. And so it's no coincidence that You know, that this announcement was made yesterday. Because the Dodgers, well, after this home stand with the San Francisco Giants that finishes up on Sunday, they're going to hit the road. The Los Angeles Dodgers are going to Arizona. They're going to Seattle.

Each series are going to play three games. This is it. And so tonight will be a pretty amazing send off. for Clayton Kershaw. He'll get standing ovations.

It doesn't matter if he gives up four home runs or five home runs. It doesn't matter if he strikes out five, six, twenty guys. They're gonna show him love today. This won't be his final appearance. I'm sure he's going to make a postseason appearance in a couple of weeks for the Dodgers, probably likely out of the bullpen.

But this is going to be the final start for a guy who started his career. In two thousand eight, Pitches aren't supposed to last this long. It's twenty Twenty five. Good for Clayton Kershaw.

Now, if I got to tell you the negative thing about this. Damn it. I'd take a deep breath before I said it. Ray, do you do you know where you can watch this game? Uh if you got the M O B T V Package, you might be able to, but that's about it.

There's no national TV coverage for this game, to my knowledge. No. It's on Apple T V. You can't be serious. Yeah, the fi yeah, Clayton Kershaw's final game.

As a Dodger, at home his final home start. As a Dodger, Is on Apple TV. Can I blame Clayton for this? Why do you want to blame him for it? He should have told us something sooner so they could have rearranged the agreements and get this game on ESP and a Fox.

You think any of those would have done? I mean, Apple TV is paying money for these games. You think they would have done that? Nobody's watching that game on Apple TV, man. We know that.

We know. I'd love to see it. I I mean, I but you think I'm gonna see it, I won't. I'm not giving Apple T V a dime. I gave them money when Messi came over and then I said I'm not paying for this.

I had Apple T V and I gave it back. I have no interest in it. All of the shows could win every award. I'm not giving them any more of my money. Yeah, I didn't see any shows.

I didn't see no shows. None. I just wanted to see Messi. And I saw Messi and I said, I'm not paying for this.

Well, you know what, too? Maybe we're overreacting because the Dodgers will make the playoffs. He will start maybe. At Chavez Ravine, maybe at Dodger Stadium, possibly.

So, maybe we're overreacting. No, no, but these are the type you said it. These are the type of things. Where Major League Baseball, and this is where it gets tricky.

Now we got streaming platforms, we have. Dare I say the traditional cable channels or what have you, and it comes to a point where the games are spread out too thin. Like I I I used to know What hey, it's Wednesday. I know where to find this game. nationally televised game.

Like in in a normal world, For Major League Baseball, which would want to have the biggest audience and the biggest imprint amongst its fans in North America, this is probably not probably this is the most successful pitcher between him and Verlander in this century. you would think That there would be interest. A I don't think there's massive interest in seeing it, which stinks. But then be their shirt. But if there should, because Major League Baseball sucks in promoting these things.

And I understand, it's taking place on the west coast. On the East Coast, this game is going to. First pitch, Kershaw will probably throw it at 10:10 Eastern Time, 7:10 Pacific. I get it, I understand. But this is the type of game.

that people should just be like. Clayton Kershaw, final home start with the Dodgers. And people would tune in just for the hell of it. Oh my God, let me just see it. Even if it's just for an inning, to see what he does, he might get smacked around, he might strike out the side, there's interest there, but it's buried on Apple T V?

Come on, man What are we doing? And technically he is, if not. Arguably the greatest pitcher of his generation. He's absolutely the greatest left-hand pitcher of his era. He deserves the platform.

Yeah. And that but they spread these stupid games out. I forgot that Major League Baseball still did Roku T V. until I was here in Atlanta on a Sunday morning, And I got people, all my friends are like, hey, uh. We can't watch the braves.

We can't watch the braves. How come I can't watch? It's 11 a.m. in the morning. And we're like, why can't you watch the Braves?

Why are you complaining to me?

Well, JR, the game's on Roku.

Well, what? And they they still do that? These games are on Roku on Sunday. They still do that. Roku at 11 a.m.

I'm not sure who this is for. I don't know, bro. There was a was didn't NBC at one point, well, not a long time ago, but more recently, didn't Peacock have Major League Baseball? For like a blink? This is embarrassing.

It's embarrassing for baseball. You got Shohei. Any of you got Shohei Otani out there too? Come on, man. Apple T V Major Lee, why did you take that money?

Why did you take that money from Apple T V? to put baseball on a Friday. It's a Friday night. Come on. What's on Fox on Friday night?

Is it SmackDown? No, they're out of the wrestling business. Oh, damn, is it football? We got football tonight?

Now I gotta go check because last time I checked, they have a lot of empty programming at that time slot. This this would have been perfect, quite frankly.

Well, why doesn't Fox do college football or uh I don't know. I would have taken TBS, but remember they have a piece of the MOB Pie as well. In the playoffs of the regular season, I couldn't even tell you. Both? I remember when these games were must see.

Fox Fox on Saturday afternoon, Saturday evening. Baseball.

Okay, whatever game came on Fox on Saturday, I wanted to see it. I don't care who played, but I wanted it.

Okay, Sunday night, Sunday night baseball. I don't care who was on ESPN, I knew I wanted to see it. Man, you're taking us back. It feels like so long ago. Fox at 1 p.m., that 1 p.m.

game. And if we were lucky, we would get a dope doubleheader. Yeah. Then you had the 8 p.m. Sunday night baseball game with those classic voices.

But ever since they removed the people that we came up on, Sunday Night Baseball hasn't hit the same either. But at least God rested those particular time slots, we would get quality baseball matchups. God rest the soul of Joe Morgan. But now I don't know what the hell I can look for. Baseball has just joined the the fray of Hey, we just goin' stream some stuff.

We hope you find it. I mean, I got as good a chance of finding a a major league baseball game, a nationally televised game, as I do of Watching Court TV. I can find family feud Faster than I could find a nationally televised game. And that's a shame for baseball. I know everybody wants the money, but Do better.

Hey. Good for you, Clayton Kershaw, on a great career. I wish more people had a chance to see your final start in LA to night. Instead of being buried, on Apple T V. That sucks.

It is the JR Sport Brief Show here with you, coast to coast on the Infinity Sports. sports network. We have so many back up quarterbacks that we have to see this weekend. We've had so many controversies about tush pushes and Tom Brady stealing secrets. It's now time to play some football.

Dolphins and Bills got us started last night. As we look towards a full slate in week three of the NFL season, Joining us right now to talk about well, Brady, the Raiders, All Things NFL, is someone who covers All Things NFL for Veeson. Joining us right now, welcome back. Wester Reynolds. Wes, how are you, man?

Yep, we got Wes. Guess we gotta we gotta find and and locate uh Find and locate Wes Reynolds. Let's see where he is. Hopefully he didn't get ab abducted by uh Aliens here, We'll see the latest from West. Hey, while we track down West.

Right before we went to break, we did talk about someone positive, someone deciding to call things A rap on their career? And that happens to be Clayton Kershaw.

Now On the reverse side of that, Clayton Kershaw I said happens to be a good dude. I have to tell you about someone who I also think is a a pain in the ass. His name is Jerry Jones.

Now In the midst of everything going on right now, the Dallas Cowboys are getting ready to take on. The Chicago Bears. And at least God bless the Dallas Cowboys. They just went out here and beat the New York Giants in a shootout. Forty to thirty seven.

Good. God bless 'em. We know right after the game we learned that the Dallas Cowboys decided to add Gadavion Clowney to the mix. Jade Vion Clowney. Finished with the Panthers last year, had five and a half sacks.

Story of his career. Has been injuries all the damn time. And now Javion Clowney, he's going to be suiting up for the Dallas Cowboys. in hopes that he can go out there and maybe replace something something at Michael Parsons has left. behind.

Now Apparently before he even got to Dallas, Gadavion Clowney got in a little bit of trouble. before he got to the Cowboys. Like he couldn't wait. He got in trouble back home at the Carolinas. Listen to this report.

W S O C T V nine. A former Carolina Panther and South Carolina football standout has been arrested in Rock Hill. Thanks for joining us on this Friday afternoon. I'm Evan Donovan. Good to see you guys here.

According to a police report, Jadavion Clowney was arrested last Friday for trying to park in a closed parking lot off Constitution Boulevard. Officers say when Clowney was told not to park there, he did anyway. He is charged with trespassing and failure to identify himself. Both are misdemeanors. Clowney is a Rock Hill native.

He was a star linebacker for the Gamecocks. The Houston Texans drafted him first overall in 2014. He went to the Pro Bowl three times. He has since bounced around a handful of teams, including the Panthers last season. He just signed to play for the Dallas Cowboys last week.

What are we doing here? We've got Wes Reynolds on the phone. Wes, you couldn't tell Jade Vianclani to stay out of trouble? Come on, he's supposed to do something, Wes. He got another reprieve there in Dallas.

Jerry gave him another chance, but guess that was one chance too many, it seems like. Oh, my goodness. We got Wes Reynolds here with us, covers all things NFL for Veeson.

Well, we got a lot to discuss. While on the subject of the Dallas Cowboys and they're getting ready to take on these Bears, what are your thoughts on all the criticism levied towards Ben Johnson in his first year as head coach?

Well, I think it's a little bit premature. I certainly understand, you know, with their performance in Detroit. uh last Sunday afternoon, but It's still early, and you've got a guy that's a first-time head coach that obviously was a very successful coordinator in Detroit, which is why I was a little bit lower on the Lions this year because they lose coordinators on both sides of the ball. And now they're both head coaches: Ben Johnson, and of course, Aaron Glenn with the Jets. And, you know, it takes a little bit of time when you're the guy, when you're the guy that's the ultimate decision maker and not just the play caller.

So it's probably a little bit premature. And he's still got a young quarterback that's still trying to figure it out, and Caleb Williams.

So, you know, maybe Chicago should rest easy a little bit. There was a lot of hype. on that team over the summer that they were going to be better. And we're only two games in, but They haven't looked good so far to say the least. No, they haven't.

I mean, there's a real possibility that these Bears go 0-3. I mean, the Dallas Cowboys, you look at their defense, not all that good. But they still certainly look capable of putting up points. What are you expecting from this Dallas Cowboys team as they take on these Bears? And perhaps actually a little bit of a lower scoring game because this total has been a big mover based on what we saw last week.

You had the Bears, of course, allow 52 in Detroit. You had Dallas in that absolute shootout against the Giants and go into overtime.

So I understand why this has been moved, but now it may be a little bit too many.

Now it's about 50, 50 and a half. In the market, so this is not something that I have bet yet. I'm just going to wait to see that this goes up because I think betters are going to bet the total based on what they saw last week with both these teams giving up so many points. But I think this is going to be a little bit of a lower scoring game because it's kind of a crossroads game for both teams. Like the Bears need to get on the board, Dallas.

As bad as the defense has been, especially last week, could go two and one with the win in Chicago.

So I'm going to lean under here at about 50 and a half points. Wes Reynolds is joining us. Covers all things NFL for VCEN. You talk about quarterbacks. We know that they're the drivers in regards to putting up points.

We got a lot of star quarterbacks, a lot of name quarterbacks. Who are not going to be in action? Jaden Daniels is out with the knee. JJ McCarthy, the high ankle sprain. Brock Purdy is not going to go out there and start.

We all know about Burrow. What matchup with a backup intrigues you the most this upcoming weekend? Probably Cincinnati and Minnesota because we have seen, at least with Cincinnati. Remember a couple of years ago when Burrow got hurt? And Jake Browning, they got a winning record at the end of the season.

Now, they missed the playoffs, but. But Jake Browning, I think, has proven to be competent. I know he was a little shaky last week against Jacksonville, despite the fact that they pulled out the win late. But that was like, okay, you're getting put into the game all of a sudden. You haven't had all the first team reps.

You haven't had the full preparation that you would usually have as a starting quarterback.

Now he does have it this week against Minnesota where Carson Wentz gets the start. And by the way, here's an interesting trivia nugget. Carson Wentz is the first quarterback in NFL history to start six straight seasons with six different teams. And me getting another chance here in Minnesota. Minnesota's offense, I think, has really been struggling because their offensive line has been banged up.

And that's another theme I think around the league is all these offensive lines that are suffering injuries. And when you get cluster, when you get a key guy like Christian Darasol, the left tackle for Minnesota, That's tough to overcome. Ryan Kelly, the center, also is out with a toe injury.

So I would lean Cincinnati in that game. I think they're just a little bit more healthy up front than Minnesota is. Yeah, I think that in the entire uh sales job for that game outside of the back up QBs will be watch the L S E wide receivers between uh Jefferson and Chase. This is a game that I'm really looking forward to. I hate to say it's the game of the week, it's not in that slot, but Uh But we got the Rams and the Eagles.

as an early start. This is this might be an NFC uh championship game, and people it's only been two weeks. People are already getting at the after the tush push. What do you think about this game? Yeah, and apparently Sean McVay sent something to the league that.

And a couple others did as well, that the Eagles are lining up, and we've seen the videos circulating on social media. That the Eagles are lining up off sides, maybe, on some of these tush pushes.

So, you know, that's going to get, I think, now that that's got the league's attention, you will see something called at some point. You will see some kind of false start or illegal formation or something be called in that game with the Rams and Philly.

So that's an intriguing storyline, but I actually do like the Rams a little bit here at plus three and a half, just because. Philadelphia's offense, now they're 2-0, and you never apologize for wins in this league or any other league for that matter. What? The offense just hasn't been clicking yet because they've got that new coordinator now. And Kellen Moore and most of the offensive staff are now down in New Orleans.

It takes a little bit of time to kind of recalibrate and reconfigure what your identity is offensively. We know the talent is obviously there in Philadelphia, and starting with quarterback position. But I think they've been a little bit slow to get out of the gates, and the defense has kind of carried them. And now you got a Rams team that's coming in with some confidence that. Has been able to run the ball consistently.

Matthew Stafford, despite the back issues, has looked very good, pulled away from Tennessee in the second half. And I think that Rams defense could be a difference maker. This is a really good young defensive line that can get after the quarterback.

So I think the Rams, they might get a little bit of revenge for that playoff game. Remember, they were inside the red zone to beat Philadelphia last year. And then Matthew Stafford takes a sack and then has to throw it away incomplete on fourth down. And they came close.

So I think you got a hungry Rams bunch here on Sunday. You talk about teams with some solid records here. of two in all. I mean we got another game. Two teams out of 2-0.

We have the Cardinals and the 49ers. Brock Purdy, we're not going to see him start the game. We'll see Mac Jones out there, and we all know about Kyler Murray. He drives me nuts.

Sometimes he's great, sometimes he's not.

Sometimes he's running around, he's extending plays, sometimes he's getting knocked down. What are your thoughts? On what the Cardinals can do this season. What are your thoughts on this game in particular as well? Yeah, I think Arizona is a little bit of a sleeper.

The defense, I think, has clearly been upgraded the last two years with Jonathan Gannon as the head coach. And, you know, what you said about Kyler Murray is absolutely true.

Sometimes he looks elite, and sometimes he looks like, you know, he's bottom half of the league in terms of a starting quarterback. And Arizona last week. didn't finish the game very sharply. They almost, you know, messed around and found out, as they say, as they almost got beat there at the end by Carolina, Carolina team that looked DOA. And they were able to get a drive and then they make a couple of mistakes.

Carolina gets the onside kick, couldn't finish it off. But we have seen a little bit of movement up to two and a half with Proc 30 being upgraded to questionable. I'm still not sure what to do with this game because I was high on the 49ers coming into the season because it seems like every other year they get besieged by injuries, right? You know, they last year was a bad injury year. And then the year before, they stay relatively injury-free and they do get to the Super Bowl before bowing out to Kansas City here in Vegas.

So you thought, okay, if it's going to hold that pattern, the 49ers are going to be healthy. Where they're not so far. Purdy's already been hurt. George Kittle is now on IR. Ushick got banged up last week.

So. 49ers are a team right now I'm kind of looking to stay away from, but they have been through this before, being riddled with injuries.

So. Nothing for me on that game.

Well, Wes, we got America's Game of the Week on NBC. We got two teams with zero wins. The New York Giants and the Kansas City Chiefs are are It is early. The the Chiefs don't have their wide receivers. Do you still have confidence in them that they might compete for a Super Bowl this year, or have they taken that big of a step back?

I don't know about for a Super Bowl. I still, you know, I'm not going to bet against them to not make the playoffs necessarily, but. The Chargers have now become the favorite in the AFC West, and I think probably rightfully so, even though they got a really sneaky tough one with Denver this week. But. I think the line is about right here.

And more often than not, In week number three, when you get those underdogs that are 0-2. And and it they go they are underdogs again in week number three. They've been cover machines over the last several years. They've been almost 70%.

So the Giants do kind of fall. Into that gap, being on two. And you know, maybe people have gotten off Russell Wilson's back a little bit. I think he's regressed. He can still throw a darn good deep ball as we saw in Dallas last Sunday, but.

That's still that team's still looking for an identity here, but that said, I think you're right. I think that the Chiefs do have some issues, especially at receiver.

Now, Worthy may go, that certainly could help, but. This is a team that I think is going to be in the market and then for a receiver at the deadline. But then you've also got that tight end who still can be productive, but. I think Travis Kelsey's pretty content in his life right now.

So, you know, sometimes that happens. You get to be thirty five, you've accomplished everything you wanted to, and do you have that competitive edge anymore? And that might come into question with Kansas City. Yeah, he's more interested in hosting, I don't know, Jeopardy than maybe catching touchdown passes, uh Not not the worst thing in the world, I guess. Hey, Wes, we appreciate the time.

That's not you. That is not me. That is not me. I've actually said that, hey, I think there might be a little bit of a conflict of interest here with the ownership and then a guy doing the national game of the week on Fox. We'll see if that benefits the Raiders in Washington this week against their former quarterback, Marcus Mariota.

On the Infinity Sports Network. Thank you so much to Wes Reynolds for joining from Veeson. to give us a preview, Or somebody's NFL games that we'll see this upcoming Sunday. I mean, it's kind of crazy. America's game of the week.

We got two teams with zero wins: the Giants and the Kansas City Chiefs. We have a game earlier in the day between the Eagles. And the Rams, that should be a good one. And I want to talk about that a little bit more at the top of the hour, especially now that everybody is. Deathly afraid of the tush push.

Tush-push is ruining football. Oh my god. The Championship Eagles have found a way to just. Beat everybody. We'll get into that.

At the top of the hour, I do want to tell you this before we do anything else: that this portion of the show is brought to you by Wesley Financial. Are you stuck in the time sharing one out? Contact Wesley Financial Group now. And get a free Time Share Exit Information Kit at Wesley Financial Group. Dot Come.

as we continue on. Let's talk about another game. featuring two teams that are undefeated.

Somebody's O. has gots to go. It is early in the season, and we just discussed this with Wes as Re as well, but I want to put some emphasis on it. The Cardinals and the 49ers. We got a little bit of an update as it relates to Brock Purdy.

Yeah. Mac Jones is going to start the game. You don't have to worry about seeing Brock Purdy unless this is some ridiculous. emergency situation. Mac Jones is going to get the start.

And Brock Purdy. He is listed as as questionable. That's the latest. Let's listen to head coach of the 49ers Kyle Shanahan. He was asked how How available?

Brock Purdy really is.

Well, we'll get to Kyle Shannon here in a moment. Hear what he says. We know better. Brock Purdy dealing with that toe injury. God bless him.

It's not on the same status of of what we got going on right now. With Joe Burrow, who needed a full on surgery to day, But Mac Jones well, He went too bad last week. Mac Jones playing against New Orleans, and this is the Saints, two hundred and seventy nine yards passing. Three touchdowns versus the New Orleans Saints, and the Forty Niners beat him. twenty six to twenty one.

I guess if there is any type of silver lining so far for the forty niners' season. Knowing that you just gave Brock Purdy 50 plus million dollars and that he's also injured. is that you beat Seattle well out of the gate as you should, seventeen to thirteen. and then they came back and they beat New Orleans. twenty six to twenty one.

and now you take on the Cardinals' team. that I think any given Sunday You could just go out there and and flip Flip a damn coin as to what they're gonna do. And then, I mean, you got the Arizona Cardinals. They beat the saints as they should. They beat the Panthers as they should because the teams here in the NFC South they suck.

I mean, outside of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Atlanta Falcons. Callais Campbell. Who is now back with the Arizona Cardinals? He said this. I'd much rather play against Mac Jones.

It's not a shot because Mac is a first round talent. He just hasn't been in that offense a long time. With Brock, He's a master of that offense. he can make it. Go.

Would anybody be all that much surprised about it? Here let's listen to Kyle Shanahan. On how Much we can see Brock Purdy. If we'll see him, let's take a listen. Yeah.

So I think there's certain things that he could do, maybe certain things he couldn't.

So We're trying to decide if he could do that and when you won't know that till Sunday. You don't get to practice them in any other area. Oh. Don't want to force it on Sunday, but Don't mind finding out if you have to. Come on, the guy's questionable.

We we don't need to see him. Throw Mac Jones out there. Let Colin Murray throw some interceptions. Let him get thrown off. I mean, there's no reason to.

Rush Brock Purdy. You just paid the guy. You invest that much cash into a dude and you just want him to fall apart? Come on now. Kyler Murray's still trying to figure things out.

I mean, outside of getting the ball to McBride, he still has to figure out how to figure things out with Marvin Harrison, junior. which I'd say it's only been a year, he's a wide receiver. Things have been a little disappointing. Marvin Harrison Jr. coming out of the Ohio State University was supposed to be the next big thing, supposed to be a game breaker.

And I don't know if it's Tyler Murray, it's not like Kyler is just. A pocket passer he is not. He has one touchdown so far this season. in like eighty nine yards. It's like wa where the targets Where the passes?

Kyler Murray he had to answer that question. Take a listen to what he said on why and when he's going to get the ball of Marvin Harrison, junior. Do you feel like you should have more targets in a game right now? Are you asking me? Yeah.

Yeah, um You know, I say it every time. Like, I wish all of them could get titan targets a game, of course. There's only one ball. We've been playing this game for a long time. We all understand how it goes.

Some days he's going to get 10, some days he might get 3, whatever it is, and Mike might get 8. You never know. Yeah, well look. Marvin Harrison, Junior is a He's a pup here, right? He's a second year player.

Has one season under his belt, Is he going to yell about the ball? Is he accomplished enough to get up in Colin Murray's face and say, 'What are you doing? Throw me the rock'? I don't think so. Man, is he going to deliver a message when he speaks to the media?

I remember Marvin Harrison, Senior. He never had to open up his mouth. Peyton Manning wasn't doing nothing but just throwing him the ball. You never heard that man speak I think this might be the first time that I hear Marvin Harrison, junior speak. He was asked if he's upset.

At not getting the football. Listen to him. Yeah, that's a silly conversation really. We're 2-0. That's the most important thing.

I got two big games coming out, one big game this week, so. That's really my only focus. Oh, well wow. I think over the past, I don't know. Thirty years.

I think that's the most I've heard between both him and his father. His dad did not say a word, Ever. And this should be an interesting matchup. Mac Jones There's somethin' odd here Like my brain says pick the cardinals But the Cardinals are just You can never trust em. They're mediocre.

one day they're good, one day they're bad. It's Kyler looks great one day, another day he looks awful. I just I trust the consistency of the 49 is at home. And we just heard I told you what Callais Campbell said. Mac Jones isn't as familiar with the system.

And no. The Arizona Cardinals are not the Saints. The Saints are dumpster fire. Do I think that Mac Jones is going to throw another three touchdowns against the Cardinals? I would bet against that.

But I think somehow some way The forty niners are going to end up on top. I think they're going to go three and O with Brock Purdy standing on the sidelines, and I think the Cardinals are going to get their their first loss of the season. Ray, if you had to put money down on this game, would you pick the Cardinals on the road or the Forty Niners at home? I'm going with the Cardinals on the road. I think that they're the healthier team.

I like what I've seen from them the first couple of weeks. I like the answer from Harrison just now as well because it just shows you that the locker room is trying to keep the main thing, the main thing. And I got to see from Mac Jones. I kind of agree that he's not very familiar with the offense like that. And if I'm, especially in a divisional rival game, you kind of want to have your.

Starting quarterback player, as opposed to the backup who's been wishy-washy his entire career as far as performance goes.

So give me the Cardinals by a touchdown. Yeah, we'll see. Mac Jones could go out there and throw some interceptions. He can give you 2-2, 2-1, 1-2. and we'll find out.

On Sunday, when I was We'll see. Two teams, two and oh. But one of the teams of 49ers don't have their starting quarterback. It's the JR Sport Brief Show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. We come back on the other side of the break.

We'll talk about the game that I think will be the best over the weekend: the Rams and the Eagles. And why are people still complaining about The tush push. Get over it. It's the JR Sport Reef Show Coast to Coast, the Infinity Sports Network. That 365 is paying out before the final whistle.
