TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

Starting off with the NFL, we got the Philadelphia Eagles who took their first loss of the season to the New York Jets. First question I got for y'all. I'll start off with you, man. I can talk about it.

I'm sorry, man. It's good, man. It's good, man. Is Jaylon Hurt coming back down to Earth after his breakout season last year?

Yes, absolutely. I know that we're talking to Chet. Can you say he may be hurt? Say he look like he may be hurt.

I haven't heard anything about that. I just think the offensive changes. You got to do offensive coordinator. They're not as cohesive as they were last year with their running pants.

He looked like he's kind of confused sometimes as to who we get the ball to, what he did out quickly, and it is leaning on AJ Brown too much. I think I seen a stat that 56% of the passes I've won the AJ Brown. And you have another talent to receive in the Smitho. So I do think he's regressed a little bit, even with a good offensive line.

The play call is been rough for him. Can you say that to the offense? That's interesting that people feel that way about something they don't feel. In certain players they don't.

They feel that way about what specifically. We've talked about it before. Like certain players, they can come out and not be as effective. But it's every other reason in the book.

But when certain players like David Hurts does it, it's something he's regressing. Because he can't even hurt like Joe Burzer. Well, I was reported that injury of Joe Burzer, OK. I heard him saying he'd think about it.

Because I said something looked right physically with him. Only the Philly fans know what he's hurt. It's something there. But that's not an excuse for the way he played this weekend.

How'd he play this weekend? He played a horrible game. That was a horrible, horrible game by him. And you know I'm as big as fans.

I'm going to tell it like this. He did not play well whatsoever. They still should have won that game. Even with him playing the way he did.

How did they win that game when he was throwing three picks? Because they said they still should have won. They said I was going to win it again with him throwing three picks. What do you think's wrong?

I mean, he's not going to look right with the way he does not look comfortable right now. If you look at him in his face, he don't look comfortable. And he was going to be wrong. I'm just saying.

I know he's not going to. I know he's going to. But it's a new office. But you know what?

The RPO is missing. They're not doing as much as that. They don't. He's protecting something.

If you watch him running the ball, he's running like, please don't hit me. Something just don't look right. I can say he's supposed to be trying to run people over. You do have to protect the franchise.

But at the same time, something just does not look right. It just don't to me. But I'm not going to say he's aggressive. I don't think so.

That's what I'm going for. You know, there's a thing to a Super Bowl hangover. You know what I'm saying? And that team that always loses, sometimes they'll come back with a chip on their shoulder.

But sometimes they might be a little foggy. You know, and right now we don't see the clarity with this team. Regression, I think we're jumping out on him. You know, I think he has enough of a good history, at least in my opinion, to be like, okay, let's get on the benefit of this guy.

I just played in the Super Bowl last year. It is a brand new offense. They are doing a lot of things that they didn't do. He's more of a pro style pastor this season.

Right? And that comes with a little bit of the growth pains. Not that when he got to the league. He has progressed to now where they entrust them to run that type of offense.

Maybe he is relying a little bit too much on Andrew Brown. Maybe the ball doesn't need to be distributed a little bit more. But to me, when I look at the overall team, right, like the only thing to me that has clarity on this squad is that D line. That D line is for lotus.

The kid from Georgia, what's his name? I mean, Janet Carter. Janet Carter. He's out this week.

And he's out. You know, but he's the real deal. You know what I'm saying? Outside of that front, the Eagles are like, okay, like what are we going to get it going?

So in my opinion, when I look at him, it's not just Jalen Hertz. Now, they do get a lot of praise with the team. He's thrown seven interceptions in the last six games. He only had six, I think, in 18 games.

That's a cool playoff. So there's something different. You could blame the OC, you could blame the Super Bowl, hang over it. But right now it just look like him.

I mean, we came to the season talking about like this, you know, it just looks different from Jalen Hertz perspective. He doesn't look comfortable. He doesn't look comfortable. Some of the games, they've been closer than what they should be based on how much talent they got.

I feel like they're supposed to have a roster as talented as the 49ers, but they don't look like it. You know what I'm saying? It doesn't look like it all. And you would say that Jay Lawrence is a better quarterback than Brock Purdy, but right now, they don't look like it.

Huh? It's under. What about that? No, what about that?

I'm just saying like they both took their losses, but you could say that Brock Purdy's loss was more on the team than him. No, you can't. That's what I'm saying. That's the type of thing that people do.

They make excuses for certain guys and certain guys that try to play some blame. These guys will get to the Brock Purdy. No, I'm just saying, you can say that. You can say that because he threw three picks.

Brock Purdy drove his team down to feel the kick the game. If he gets the game when he'll go, they're undefeated, then what you gotta say? No. Exactly.

They'll be saying the same thing. They look rough. No, they look weird, but that's because you could say C-Mack and D-Bose, the game changer, that team was different. They offered a game and it was shit.

Philly was all healthy. Was anybody out? The best offensive lineman was out. You took my Lane Johnson?

Yes. Okay, so Lane Johnson, he's not their best offensive. I don't tell you what it was. No, no, it's definitely Lane Johnson.

Lane Johnson, the best offensive lineman for all. That's not true. Trent Williams. Trent Williams.

Trent Williams. Look at the ratings though. Who was Ray Hire? Who was Ray Hire?

Who was you about to hit? Lane Johnson. Well, Trent Williams is a little help. Well, not now because they both get hurt a lot, but Lane Johnson is the highest rated offensive lineman in the football.

All I'm saying is, you lose one offensive lineman from the best offensive lineman in football. You shouldn't be able to be the Jets. Yeah, they still won. And handsomely at that.

They still won. They still won. They did. They did.

That's what I'm saying. They were up double digits and they were able to move the ball with ease early. Then the first interception came and got him back. Yeah, that first interception was a fuck.

The first interception was a fuck. I'm not taking it. So, that's not what they were saying. The first interception was a fuck.

No, what I'm saying is, the third one is like, all right, bro, we get into many. No, the rest one, he hit the receiver in the hands. He got hit and bounced back to Quentin Johnson. So, to me, they had the momentum.

Okay, what about the second one? The second one, he got his arm hit. But still, he's hit. What about the third one?

The third one wants to get him 100% on him. I played him. I played him for that loss. I don't blame anybody else.

I blame that on Jaylen because he could rather those troops. Nothing else. The thing I talk about Jaylen about the most is leadership. And I felt like he sat down.

Is he like a leader right now? Not in that game. Not in that game. What I do over ever be sitting there and saying that.

I don't know why you say that. Don't borrow one three out of the last four games. Same thing with Eagles.
