9.8.22 - JR SportBrief Hour 4

You are listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio you're listening to your support on CBS radio and we are coming to live from the rocket mortgage Studios what you want to buy a home or refinance your current one rocket can. I will be hanging out here with you for one more hour.

Thank you to everybody listening all across north America my friends in Buffalo. My friends in Los Angeles and everything in between. Much love to you.

You can always listen on the free Odyssey at your local CBS sports radio affiliate Sirius XM 158 and on the smart speaker me JR probably knew that already. You can find me online, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram at JR sport brief in the number here's 855-2124 CBS be enjoined by super producer and host Dave Sheppard and speaking of sweater tonight after the Buffalo Bills beat the Rams and a route. The final score 31 to 10 of free-agent someone coming off of an ACL tear.

Someone who just won a Super Bowl championship. Odell Beckham Junior was on hand to help raise the banner in Los Angeles and we know he didn't complete the game, but he was on hand today to help raise it in and he tweeted in the course of this ass weapon or after the fact he goes on and says Bill's Mafia, and he provides a lot of question marks as always even entertain going to the bills maybe who knows him and Von Miller had all a lot of conversations about you know where he was going to end up aware they were going to end up last year. We know Vaughn ended up outside of Denver and Odell.

He didn't just end up outside of Cleveland. He basically forced and pushed his way out.

With the help of his dad and even Lebron James fly while like you got Lebron tweeting about freeing you damn stuff is so Von Miller in his first game here tonight against his former team had two sacks. Matthew Stafford was sacked seven times Josh Allen goes out and he contributes four touchdowns and Odell Odell was tweeting.

He also said watch the BS storylines and how they try to count the Rams out after one game like they didn't just lose to the team that's most likely going to come out of the AFC and sure and by the way, anyone, anyone said again its use another word anybody who starts running a yeah about the Rams's thinking or being terrible. Trash sure you got cause for full worry many just talking I wouldn't I wouldn't give them the time of day Rams will be fine.

They will be okay or let me put it this way, this one gain is not fully indicative of what they will look like for the entire season. Let's put it that way. I will have no damn crystal ball. I cannot predict the future. I don't know who's going to get hurt or not, but this game for the Rams stock Sean McVeigh is below 500 albeit for one game for the first time in his career, Sean McVeigh lost the first home opener or just opening game of the season for the first time in his career.

This is the worst loss of his career at 31 to 10 and you can things get any worse. Of course they can.

But I wouldn't be concerned about it and Sean McVeigh after the loss. He wasn't concerned about it either.

Listen, I can do better. There was a lot of decisions that I made that I felt I didn't put our players in good enough spots is a humbling experience for to stay connected when all look inward when I do a better job moving forward but you give credit to the bills and we got understand that we gotta have that my sentimentality be able to move forward accordingly. But you know I do take a lot of responsibility in this was a very humbling night, but one that I got be able to look yourself in the mirror say I got to be better within the framework of my role. That's exactly what I'm to do. That's what I nor coaches are to do. That's what our players are going to do or stay together and were looking forward to our next opportunity to be resilient in and respond thousand mile a minute Von Miller speaks a little slower loan more normal, and Von Miller actually talked about Odell the same Odell I told you was tweeting throughout or after the game.

In the old Dell is going to have is will have a choice. Odell is going to have options is even a return so the Rams is he gonna wake up and go to the bills he is coming off of that that that ACL surgery so when you're old Dell and you can be dynamic when you can be explosive you going to have options. And at this point of his career sees going go to teams where he can actually win. This is what Von Miller had to say about his former teammate. His presence tonight at the game, helping to raise the banner and where old Dell might end up he said where one is game. As we will go. Charlie is truth behind every joke in Ohio was that the CRA is a huge part of our success last year and whenever he does help whenever he does healthy man I'm sure is a lot of things that you normally won't movement got away and see where I think we did everything we possibly don't just got in a way to just healthy man got a great squad over here. I think everybody saw now can just add another weatherman is just another got out there we could get the ball to handle right now. Mel got Gregory Guzman and Isaiah McKenzie Dave Davis Dr. Knox digs man running backs went crazy today office [where we got a great team and knows you don't keep going and we whenever you just have Kelly will notice you haven't could you imagine Mike now yields a stack ended up. Could you imagine if Odell ends up on the bills to complete the season Josh Allen tonight accounted for four touchdowns. He ran and rushed for one were not ran or Rusty Russell one. He stretched out for one he threw three touchdowns you heard von Miller name the names McKenzie Diggs, who by the way, had 122 yards receiving in one touchdown he cooked jail in Ramsey tonight, Gabriel Davis, helping to start the game open, start the game off touchdown. This wasn't even a competitive game throughout. It was a miracle that that Los Angeles was able was able to stay in it was really only because of turnovers. It was 1010 at half time and on the Buffalo Bills basically pitched a shutout in the second half. The Rams did not pick up another point at all. And so Josh Allen he talked about this after the game. First, staff versus second we hurt ourselves a lot in the first half is a lot to learn from you know that second half especially want to be going out there and executing the way you know we we expect ourselves to execute like knuckles Dorsey called heckuva game.

It's his first live interaction, so I'm proud of him for handling the situation is how we did. But again we were 90% of their down like that's that's a recipe for success and again for turnovers with way too many delete we got a lot of cleanup about bonds that will celebrate this one is hard when the sleeve especially gives good teams. That's really getting displayed. I love how he gives credit to the new offense of coordinator can Dorsey be no brine day bowl is gone. He's now the head coach of the New York Giants and Manus will be some rough going be in a head coach and 14 that dammit doesn't have an offense.

Let's see how that works off of the Giants. Probably not good, but kudos to Josh Allen and I would leaders do they give credit to everybody around them. They show love to the others. Understanding that they help elevate them.

So, Josh Allen, he elevated yeah okay to turnovers.

He contributed four touchdowns. Some of those INC's between him and Stafford who threw three interceptions. The zombies were tipped Josh Allen also picking up 56 yards on the ground and I told you about his 4 yard rushing touchdown and this is what that sounded like courtesy of the bills radio network. Josh looks to his wife and touchdown.

Yet we were going to get a lot of wow from the Buffalo Bills and seas were going to get a lot of wow from Josh Allen last hour right before we were to break one of our callers was not happy with the rushing attempts one of our Callers was not happy with the amount of times that Josh Allen pretty much decided to at times bail out run out that Sean McDermott calling plays that would allow him to do such studies. You not go last like if he's out there getting beat up, and yet an amazing highlight play that I'm sure if you haven't seen you will see stiff arm when you're 6 foot five and biggest hell yeah you can beat up on smaller defenders that we have that same conversation about every quarterback gets out its open space. Josh Allen is not I'm going to stand here in the pocket every single time and just fling the ball out. He is going to go. He's going to challenge smaller cornerbacks. Dammit, he's going to have to challenge guys in the second level at the linebacker position and he's going to get yards when he finds it necessary. I also said I am not not for right now all that concern about him just being a sitting duck all season long. This is the part that stinks the Buffalo Bills. They decided to draft James Cook out of Georgia.

One of the many Bulldogs feels like the whole damn team just got drafted is the brother of Galvan I'm sure you're familiar. James is going to help out in both the run game in the passing game stinks for him on his one carry is one attempt today. He fumbled the ball and at that point he never got another attempt. And so I think as the season goes on.

The ball is going to be spread out. There was a point in time. A few seasons ago that Josh Allen even recently. It's just like he is the best point of attack for the rush. I think they going to start to spread out those calories and those options you are not going to stop Josh Allen from going out there on broken plays when he doesn't see a receiver that he wants me as many of them you not going to stop him from trying to go get yards.

Yes, it's up to the coach to try to protect them. He's the star he's the potential MVP. He's will have some say so, whether the coach likes it or not, we got stars for preferential treatment they get it in so I wouldn't be all that concerned with Josh Allen throughout the course of the year is he going to last is he going to do this in another 10 years.

Who cares. The Tonawanda Super Bowl now and I understand I get Siegel go out there and separated shoulder, possibly Siegel go out there and sprained a knee or ankle, possibly we can say that for every player, regardless of your style of play.

It's football. They guys that have a higher chance of a fallen apart. Sure, of course, but don't try and fix it if it ain't broke, they got options and will certainly use them as the year goes on. I think they're all cognizant of keeping Josh Allen healthy.

They got Super Bowl aspirations 855-2124 CBS.

That's 855-2124 CBS Carlos Scola from San Diego. No doubt meant.

Thank you. You have no Jared Allen but I named her about you and a couple guys that are going to have a say about them.

BPA ever having decorators, but at get to be her bow.

Allen for a decade, the champion the way to get your bill, well we we know who the guys are at the top of the total bowl all the way through the thank you call us or call us in San Diego.

Sound like you have the windows down, we know it's up to you. Please and I will have no damn guarantee that that Josh Allen is going when MVP what you certainly going to be in the running. He was in a run in last year just the top quarterbacks year after year after year just dormant or mixed Google be shocked if Josh Allen wins the MVP. Nobody will be shocked if Herbert once it nobody. What about my homes. Nobody is Allen Rogers going to have the same type of numbers to pick up 1/3 consecutive probably not, but we know year-over-year like the top guys will be in the running for MVP and with the expectations for the bills. Josh Allen is certainly there in the Chargers I'm I'm I'm hoping I'm expecting that they can finally get over the hump. We don't need no more of blown calls. We don't need any more clock mismanagement. We don't have Anthony Lynn running around to the haying losses on anymore.

Brandon Staley needs to learn and continue learning and even the Chargers have a great team and so the NFL is in a good spot especially with the older quarterbacks I want to say you're falling by the wayside. But again, long in the tooth now give a damn how good Tom Brady is income be here five years. He's not going to be here in five years.

Trust me 855-2124 CBS Ezra Scola from Atlanta going on all moldy, and I got really watching again tonight. You know when you will running Josh knowing you will running Josh Allen all the way, Josh. I like to get on the first game and I respect that same time. I don't know, Bill stranded by Walmart quarterback that that's main Josh Allen taking that first game because I wanted to be a recipe that we that the bills might think of success because man some little play on the feel of famous little playhouses told me that up. You know I went back to the huddle because you get on the competitive and elder thinking in my head man, Beltran. I'm nervous every time that Bob do it again when Dan used to scribble in his early years, I used to be number five. Please get up please don't call me as I can kill you. So no congratulation for the build mandate.

They really truly truly suitable favorite but real quick flying object. When would you man number 100 Donald tonight. Donald you had a sack, I mean you will is also what an ass. At the beginning of the game, but what is there to do a defensive lineman is going to be" lost in the game that his team gets blown out in and so to say where is Arun Donald he's in the same damn spot that he's been since he was drafted kicking ass: the counter that what is number one. Plaintiff fell because I was allowed back in that tradition, you can still create claim abstract fumbled leaving. I am thinking, but would Arun Donald being a deep tackle. He can only do both so much. Will file no.

Oh no oh no oh no no answer. I think that is that is very very wrong. No, no, no, no, Arun, Donald, is a defensive tackle who operates on the inside of the line and thank you for calling from from Atlanta. It's not just about all my God, he forced a fumble all my God, he forced a sack. Oh my God, he does this. Arun Donald is a force of nature, whether or not the man has a sack and then by the way, let let's think about this. He had 12 1/2 sacks last season playing on the interior.

Okay, that is not easy. The man is doubled. It's not easy. He's opening things up for the additional defenders on the on the average. This man is disruptive tackles for loss.

I get your Steelers fan you said it puts it to go ahead and make a comparison. Yes, yes, TJ Watt is great. Yes, his brother JJ was great before injury started to eat him up alive but the look at 831 10 loss tonight and go where was Arun Donald Kaman when we want our Donald. We wanted to get a sack you know every every play, we want him to start throwing touchdowns to so they can score points, so are we going to say in the next game when Arun Donald is standing on the other side of the field and he's eating Ryan Tannehill alive we going to say that we know the most important player on the team as is the quarterback. So what happens when TJ Watt in the Steelers when they lose because the trip risky when they lose 31 to 10 against I don't know. Fill in the blank will be will say where. Where was TJ Watt, the smart lesson I could still year's the JR sport ratio here with you on CBS sports radio to take more your calls. I understand the concern surrounding Josh Allen. You don't think the bills know this, though I'm not worried of my concern that think he will be fine.

This is how he's played he's improved throughout his career, and they going to lessen the load. It's one game let us see this be a problem. Let us see this be an issue. Several games then before we start going all my God, the Buffalo Bills are throwing Josh Allen out to the wolves that just going to let him just dissipate into dust.

Let's slow down tonight. They 131 to 10 one victory one when the next game could be totally different. Are you worried or concerned about Josh Allen and his style are you worried about his potential usage. I'm to get some more your calls to get your thoughts on this. We come back to the JR sport ratio CBS sports radio you are listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio you are listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio you made him 11 months and always appreciate you being poignant, intelligent, and exact calling now with 855-2124 CBS the JR sport ratio here with you on CBS sports radio. The first game of the NFL season, it's done, the Buffalo Bills, they beat the Rams 31 to 10 Josh Allen accounts for four touchdowns and Matthew Stafford well we just got beat up tonight three interceptions 15 quarterback hits seven sacks and it's one game for both teams. One is the defending champs.

The other one is trying to win a Super Bowl sure to great teams will see what happens. The remainder of the season, but naturally we gotta find we got a fine issue got to find something wrong. We gotta find potential flaws because there's no team that's perfect. So I've received some calls about Josh Allen potentially being run into the ground literally coaching staff not taking care of him and potentially setting them up for future failure sure that we see more than one game now. They did get them some help. I want to go to going to every game where were James Cook is only going to have one carry in his first game where he fumbles. I don't think that's gonna be the case in let's see how things develop. You would think the way that people will some people have talked about Josh Allen is potentially get injured or beat up the season you would think that he got hit like Stafford tonight.

He was handed out punishment sure you don't want to see them out, then sure you got reason to worry. I would still be optimistic about the bills. Speaking of optimistic after the game that head coach Sean McDermott. He talked to Christine they got plenty your reason to be optimistic. Listen to the message he delivered right now. The Lord God know what lasted when you guys work that you earned it will probably man together for an ethical way to go, man. I think we will have more of those speeches throughout the course of the year. Business as usual he's cheated on five Sagan gesso chilled man isn't. Why does get too low will that's that's the mark of a over over great head coach. You know it's it's like any coachman and actually now you got me thinking there was a good article today and that the New York Times on though some people will go to New York Times you so very is a great publication with some great writers.

There was a great article today on coaching and how coaching has evolved at multiple levels and multiple sports. How you as a coach, you can't just yell, shout, screen down on yell and demand from players you actually have to communicate the mark of any great coaches to get the best out of the players. It's not too dictate. It's not the make something square fit in something that's circular. You gotta be smart and measure and Sean McDermott Isa. He is a great coaches develop into 18552124 CBS Liam the scholar from Texas you're CBS sports radio. What going on so I'm hearing a lot about Josh when you and MVP candidate for game.

I mean, I think we need to fill down a little bit. I you know I like that you brought up the bill on seventh three interceptions.

I mean, I don't think enough people are talking about the blinded I don't know. Let's settle down on Josh Allen MVP talk. I'd like down on me not even a myth take right there. I'm in a preferred name of the human and alert before what will before you get to the feet and it is absolutely reasonable to look at someone who was in MVP, MVP candidate last season. Someone who was in MVP candidate the year prior to look at the type of performances that he's levied in handed out over the past few seasons. Also, knowing that he has improved.

Also, knowing that this season. His team is favored to win the Super Bowl to think about him being rewarded throughout the course of the season as being the best player. I don't think that's something that's not reasonable. You know I you know not not unreasonable, no, no, Josh Allen, but it but you know I'm not here the fraud that the auto note that I'm not asking you about what anybody said what in our 99 it's I on the will the rim stop McNary per Valium year you quietly quite called Philip the quiet oh my God worse call of the night.

Number six I think. Set up audits on the shutouts fair: be quiet and spare you felt like saying that I don't like non-nonaudit feel like someone shut up because he wasn't he wasn't you know wasn't Rudy just was. He made a point and I trust this point in any's all well yeah well anyway, not a mean one on bottom like a column of light know I'm I'm talking about what you just said Michael Moore man. I'm not saying after one game he's gonna win MVP quarterbacks when MVPs is it the best quarterbacks when MVP the quarterbacks will have high expectations when MVP the one to deliver when MVP to think what go ahead and look at the Vegas odds. Michael Moore and nobody sitting around going all my God, did you see Josh Allen tonight. All he's using is he's going to be one of the front runners for MVP non-man. It's just common sense. If you pay attention to the game.

If you watch prior years that speaks for itself.

Cliff is calling from Oceanside you're CBS sports radio what's up Cliff. They are mandatory on excellent great you earlier. Develop your vacation from the Bayer Oakland had to chime in on it up and lock wanted to suck up probably give you some kudos on your take about the rampant perspective of not protecting Josh out and not for consumption. That's not broken, the history of this gate, I'm 57 years old man. I remember guarding Frank targeted I am a longtime New York Giants fit right now don't get me on that right now you have a nice history of recent history, not so much while written entry, but still a bit and you don't fix what's not broken and I agree with your fitment on that 100% met the fresh take that people just don't get shorthand.

Got beat to the ground recently right and all the quarterbacks you look at look at Armada Washington a few years ago right where he now our G3 RG threes on CZ. Our G3 not eating well into the wolves. They is Shannon I have it all right you're at and what are the bill particular affect the bottom line is they're not paying you guys now pay them $2 billion over 1015 years there paying them now to win now your cake you alluded to it. What that how it fits with not broken. They have a winning model, even winning quarterback. The guy that beat unleash the beast, but you have constraints and be realistic about going to give you kudos on that appetite that nobody else that I am looking a lot of sports radio back to New York recently and I would live in the Bay Area and nobody's saying the reality that that that drying out enamel that implacable will think you are present, you will get an ACL or order whatever it is able. That's the name of the game and thank you Cliff: from Oceanside. Yeah, come on now is there anybody anybody who actually thinks the Buffalo Bills don't think about Josh Allen's usage. They have openly talked about it publicly. They talked about it. You don't think they sit around privately and saw him payment shall I'll think of. I don't think anybody is going around with Dahmer Dahmer think there where I think there cognizant.

I think Josh Allen is to she don't want to put restraints on the guy and we can think about all the quarterbacks to get out and move and run. He's not Lamar Jackson, Lamar Jackson is not Josh Allen, Josh Allen, although maybe similar in size. He's not cam Newton cam Newton was a battering ram. He was challenging every body and anything whether he got out into the open field whether he was going to challenge the defensive lineman at the line of scrimmage. We see where cam Newton is right now not playing, not on the team.

His career very well might be over.

And so Josh Allen even from five and six and seven years ago. This is just even more for different game offense offense offense offense.

What can you do as the quarterback to help generate yards whether it be with your feet whether be with you all will talk more about this get more your calls and before we roll out you were listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio caller there.

So your show will be standing together together and you have been filling in agreement with Yoko Coley now with 855-2124 CBS the JR sport refill here with you on CBS sports radio, get your calls before I got a rollout.

They may lock into strippers waiting for little training on wow taking body as I just gave everybody on slitter credit for creativity. Are you a comedian not related to that is so cold. Yes, we are fungi.

Rodney you're like you like the Kawai Leonard of radio your fungi. Thank you a big fan and take my call as follows. Think in a bowl.

I believe it MVP. I believe it. Okay, let's see what happens lessee with the development of the of hurts looks like.

I appreciate you for rock me for so long. All the best no doubt about it. Fungi go to Archie in San Francisco. Maybe he's fun you're CBS sports ready to Archie express yourself, what's up. I JR I'm I'm feeling kind of down man little depressed. No okay okay you are I know that Kyle Shanahan and John Lanson put in the players they listen to your show of the 49ers word seven Super Bowl, and they 15 and Joe Montana was in for Super Bowl's and if you want all four Super Bowl's and Steve Young 11 so they had back to back Hall of Famer's but dream e.g. I don't trust him.

My problem is this. I don't want the 49ers to play the Buffalo Bills in the Super Bowl because I don't think they can be child shall under this team is really good and I just thought that what happened with the Rams the 49ers for one plate in each game. Nick was in the Super Bowl. What Baltimore and they were on the red zone and Jim all about one To pass the ball so he passed the ball four times, you know, and that he got intercepted there one play away from winning the Super Bowl dream, e.g. within the Super Bowl MMXIX. If he throws a perfect pastor Emmanuel Sanders, the 49ers win the Super Bowl. So that's another one play away and last year with the Rams Matthew Stafford threw a pass to our safety and gone chalk up all and if you want a crop that interception the 49ers would've been in the Super Bowl. JR my heart man's I'm sorry I'm sorry but don't be depressed what you like to do for fun.

Maybe young talking to you.

It's me and you will also consult what I don't know man known for fun while you play tennis, go to the movies. So go do that instead of the dancing go dancing, you know what type of music you like to dance to all man I'm old-school Motown man all come on Robin's conduct man DOJ you like salves you you listen to sold sound and silk all man dude that's got back the brothers.

Love thing I love it when we got here. Josh's goals in Dallas, you're CBS sports radio. I was going on. Thank you.

What's up go on while all my food over there ran man like you know our product mad a quarterback I'm on, you know, scare money don't make no money and do his thing young man is going to hurt me. I feel like but again the real story to me was a lack of on the fence upon yes right you know and on the game game won't known already don't have that but you know got you know they think compels your heart you know you know that part is the biggest though it needed to be prepared.

Johnsons would see this leg to prepare for Woolford that's what you gotta look out for. That's that's what might take place if Matthew Stafford is just will get his ass whipped all season, but we don't know because it's one game, one thing is for certain, this is still the NFL. So Michael get her multiple guys will get hurt will going to come out of Sunday will move into Monday night looking to get into Tuesday will be talking about him injury to some type of player somewhere. That's just what it is this just what it is and all you by the way. Maybe the next game. The Rams can actually find and identify the guy that they just brought in and Alan Robinson just cancelable the Cooper cup all the time but you need to be standing upright to be able to throw the football in the first place. So the Buffalo Bills when the opener tonight.

31 to 10 against the Super Bowl champion Rams and we got a lot more football to go tomorrow.
