Happy Wednesday nights are happy hump day to you to be here with you for the next four hours. This is what I get started at 10 PM Eastern time, 7 PM Pacific on being joined by super producer and host Dave Sheppard and a big thank you for listening you be driving your car driving the truck driving to work driving from home dry don't care where you're at or what you're doing okay where you're at where you're from, what the hell you're doing him to be here for the next four hours. So here's the deal, as I do every single Wednesday night into Thursday morning.

Two hours from now I'm going to deliver to you a new top six list. That's what I do Wednesday nights at the Thursday morning and this is the exciting thing. We are less than 24 hours away from the start of the NFL season and so of course tonight. Stop six is going to be about the top six teams in the NFL heading into the 2022 season and so will do that two hours from now amongst many other things.

Lamar Jackson.

He is pretty much handed down a deadline to the Baltimore Ravens for him to get and receive a contract extension. I'll tell you when that deadline is going to talk about the bills and the Rams momentarily. We mentioned to you earlier this week, the Dallas Cowboys, Jason peters is a long time Eagle and now he's a he's a cowboy. He's changing his tune. The New York Jets will be without Zach Wilson to start their season. Our and judge.

Speaking of a New York team.

Even though the Jets play New Jersey hour and judge hit another homerun in the next hour as well were going to have a conversation with Mark Schlager, three-time Super Bowl champion former offense of lineman would ask him about some of these offense of lineman. I'll ask him about Jason peters and before we get to the top six and ask him who he believes is the team that sits at the top of the totem pole. Here's the deal you want talk to me here at CBS sports radio. It's real simple. The number is 855-2124 CBS. That's 855-2124 CBS.

You can also find me I'm online that is at JR sport brief. If you follow me there. You pretty much have an idea of everything that we will be discussing for the next four hours and let's not waste any time. If you're like me, today is almost like a holiday. If you're like me, this is almost like Christmas Eve. This is like New Year's Eve. This is like the dawn of something new. The NFL season gets going tomorrow the defending Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams get used to saying that for little while they undertake on the Buffalo Bills. This very well might be a Super Bowl preview and so here we are today.

Wednesday, September 7 is no more off-season talk. There's no more who got traded. There's no more retiring and then coming back. There's no more complaining.

Ask QB's and who knows, maybe Lamar Jackson gets his money before then. There's no more DeShawn talk is no more Russell Wilson talk here we are with the future squarely right in front of us and we got a hell of a matchup.

It was only months ago. Earlier this year that the Rams won the Super Bowl and Shawn McVeigh. There were conversations about him moving on into television.

There were conversations of of Arun Donald potentially retiring and then he got paid. The Rams added Bobby Wagoner von Miller now was on the Buffalo Bills.

He said that facing his old team that he just won a championship with is going be like facing off against her cousins like taken on your family, your best friend somebody that you just left. Alan Robinson is a ran people will be checking in on corporate cop to see if if if he can go ahead and have another triple crown caliber season. This is a Ramstein that is poised to compete again for championship the proverbial monkey is off the back of Matthew Stafford to be limiting his action throughout the course of the year so's arm does not fall off and give me a reason why the Rams don't have a chance to compete. Give me a reason why the Rams wouldn't be right back in the Super Bowl's pretty awesome and Shawn McDermitt, Buffalo Bills I just told you about Matthew Stafford Sean McDermott looks at Mathew and says are you he's pretty good. His resume speaks for itself and now really adding the final piece to that resume.

I got leaders his office and a lot of lot closure on that terms of what he's been able to do decorated: watching his career take off. Yeah, well, people were having conversations of of Matthew Stafford now potentially building himself a Hall of Fame caliber resume. Is it there yet.

No hell no, it's not there. Yes, to tackle on a few more years of excellence before he might get into the Hall of Fame, but not too shabby. Going from the outhouse to inside live in a highlife going from the Detroit Lions.

The Los Angeles Rams and ultimately winning a Super Bowl right the hell away and you got the other team. M: the Buffalo Bills. The other team.

They gotta make some headway. We saw what took place in the playoffs last year. They lost they played one of the best games that you will ever see in your life.

They lost to the Kansas City Chiefs. 42 to 36, three lead changes in the final two minutes. People will tell you about a coin toss. They dropped 25 points scored in the final two minutes between both teams. It was absolutely ridiculous.

The Buffalo Bills ain't do nothing but but but stack up.

I told you about von Miller going to the squad given out contract extensions. Josh Allen is finally ready to get over the hump everybody and their mother on the team basically got paid and so there's an expectation for them to just just can't above every body only thing you missed Mr. Davey as white as a cornerback in and he should be back and I would hope. About a month from now and this somehow expectations for the Buffalo Bills's of Buffalo Bills taken on the Rams we might see this game start the season. We might see these two teams pretty much and the season Shawn McVeigh who just won the Super Bowl.

The man who had to lose and the Super Bowl Ist before you wanted. He looks at this bills team and he says damn a good there's no weaknesses with this team. I think I mentioned it already, but all the positive accolades and flowers that people are giving them I think are well deserved and earned coach McDermott does an excellent job.

I want to contract extension phone bills digs is getting money.

Von Miller's get in the six years dealing year old Dawson knocks everybody's getting paid, they get money now you got von Miller on the opposite side of Russo just going to send out pass rushers in waves that have some of the best defensive backs in the game, especially at the safety position.

Micah hi Jordan Poirier let's just wait on white to eventually come back this stacked people don't even really talk about Germaine Edmonds. The Buffalo Bills are absolutely dangerous. And maybe, just maybe, we won't have to talk about them going to four consecutive championships in and losing all of them. Maybe this will be the year almost 30 years later that the Buffalo Bills ultimately find success so you don't have to wait too much longer. You can sit around and start ordering your food for tomorrow night you can sit around and and start thinking about your your fantasy draft selections.

You can sit around and start putting down money.

You can sit around and start organizing your weekends knowing that Saturday you got college and Sunday you got the NFL you can start thinking about what lies you want to tell your family so you can avoid them so you can sit down and watch football. This is the time a year where people build their entire schedules around the NFL.

Even people going to church. Everybody has to look at the NFL and sale well.

How do we fit our lives around here and to sit down and see the bills and the Rams go at it Rams will be at home. The Buffalo Bills will have Super Bowl expectations similar to the Rams, and I know who wins. I'm going to go with the Rams at home, but let's be real here and let's be very clear. Nobody walks away from tomorrow's game as a loser. This is not going to be the defining moment for the entire season. We got 17 games and dammit, if the bills were plan at all not take the bills and maybe on the other end for tomorrow night's game. Maybe the Rams will be on such an emotional high. Maybe they lose but I can say this much. I will give a damn who wins or loses. I just want a good damn game. This is a great table setter for some of the other matchups that will see especially coming into Sunday. I can't wait to sit down and see the cars and the Chiefs. Maybe I am someone who likes to see the football teams get abused in the NFL.

I want to see what Lamar Jackson does against the Jets in his first game back. I want to see what he does because a he's either going to have a new contract or be he's going to start this season without having one we got a couple revenge games in week one of the NFL season. We gotta wait until Monday night but what about Russell Wilson going back to Seattle.

We already got tot a locket saying hey when Russell comes here.

You shouldn't you shouldn't be moot. People don't need to boo this man we got Tampa Bay in Dallas on Sunday we got a lot going on, and so will talk about it okay. The NFL season is less than 24 hours away. I got the phone lines open for you.

I'm not going anywhere.

And obviously we're gonna talk in depth about the game when it concludes but before we get there.

I gave a quick glance through the NFL schedule and there are some former or or new faces and new places that will be visiting the old place. I mentioned one on Monday night.

Denver and Seattle Russell Wilson as a member of the Denver Broncos going up to Seattle to visit his old friend. The 12 still stands in Seattle.

We had a lot of conversations about Baker Mayfield as the Cleveland Browns will make their way to Carolina you noted Baker Mayfield say he's gonna mess them up or is it a whole lot of nonsense Baker Mayfield will probably be the one that gets messed up or he might go out there and throw for four touchdowns. We got a grudge match suffer one of these team sucks you got New Orleans coming here to Atlanta to take on the Falcons in the Falcons they the team that sucks. And then we got a matchup that I really want to see is this Kansas City and Arizona. I expect a lot of points there Tampa Bay in Dallas. This does this a lot. Jason Peterson is join the Cowboys to the phone lines are open to.

That's 855-2124 CBS 855-2124 CBS Terry is calling from Buffalo your CBS sports radio. Sorry what's up how the going man I described touch base on a couple things about the bill in my I'll call you from Buffalo that it the night before Christmas.

Here it is in a different with it. Everything all year but to be honest with him and I don't think Dr. will ever lose another game the way you gone down the last three season theme going back. The tech game to play out that that that man has them in his bank. He got that dog. I promise you to call you back tomorrow after the game Emily Tonya listen I told you so that this guy coming out strong.

We've only got better. We've only added people and yet you baby is whited out, but we got to Ron Johnson is one of the best known leak got the new value. There's nothing to be worried about your picking around because their home. I'll pick the rent have all the other stadium shows out to be more Bill Sandler or Iran. There is a home game for the bills.

Nobody circled the wagons like the Buffalo Bills let go Buffalo. Hey, hey got the listen is nothing for me to say thank you for bringing your pom-poms and if it makes you feel better to call me tomorrow and say JR told you Sultan by all means do it is fine. Call me back at the end of the year of Buffalo goals of 17 and in and all call me back at me 855-2124. CBS does 855-2124 CBS Johnny he's here from Atlanta your CBS sports radio. My neighbor Johnny what's up going on. JR reported here, bragging about an affair and effect.

They is my problem for a real rated regatta for a good laugh about the light of my air by the 98th well III know what happened in 98. I don't know if it was the best ending paper I we had Goodyear will be okay.I will are you going to bring back you gone bring back the dirty bird I recovery from that of our day reverie from new hotel oxygen. All I will you you want me to call to Lawrence on this day, I landed a codec that OA is something that we object. The bigger you were probably about what we are we aware ask you.

The Falcons are the one what this year again and again. Okay so tell me who who's going to start the module market scenarios going to start the majority these games right yeah Martin right out of our lab you got breakout player play out more. Oh yeah, okay, now that we know. Nothing. I appreciate the optimism Johnny.

Let's see what happens okay. Don't hold your breath on it. I'm expecting the Atlanta Falcons to get beat up. Throughout the course of the year. I'm expecting them to be in a prime position to select one of the top quarterbacks will be in the draft and I expect Marcus Mary Yoder to be somewhere else. I guess this is what you can look forward to.

If you're Falcons fan. Maybe, just maybe, Desmond Ritter gets a chance, and an opportunity to shine and you go wow you played so damn good.

We want to keep him at quarterback, but if they stink as bad as they really can't stink you probably wanted to go with a more proven commodity at quarterback.

This is still a team in transition. It really is at a missed call from Callie your CBS sports radio that Eurosport Risha. Thanks for taking my call on the dolphin fan out in California and I just wanted to say I'm excited for the netbook be there for tomorrow's game. I believe the RAM are getting a little over look for some reason and I don't believe the bills have a chat. I think the Rambler got beat by to check out tomorrow and go dolphin you believe the rams are being overlooked there. One of the most talked about seams here in the entire off-season they just came off of the championship and he pretty much running back to the same squad just about yeah I'm I'm more talk about the game.

I think for some reason I like the got the color. I know you have a home ready to go at but I believe it… You will validate boy from fireball little farm got a good cup. I was about to got a moderately but I just feel like the margin of victory. Tomorrow's going to be a little more than people expect. I think the RAM to come out with all guns blazing and then just take it to the bill. So what about me my opinion counts for nothing on salon taken them at home but you listen to the other guy not out but you figured out went by double-digit think they're gonna win by double digits. I think it'll be a close one day maybe to be a back-and-forth. These are two biomass teams. You know God or not. They're both good and I think that the end of the year Milo. Grandma dolphin okay I will see what you got a lot of faith into its on the below I got enough faith in what they're doing. II think I think could be much improved this year and I think there's a lot of meat there is.

When you come back from hip surgery and he wouldn't have the power that he got now though. Got the precision and I think you got the weapon now. Also heard he's married now so he may not have that hit power. I see anything Adam, thank you for calling from California Jamison, a scholar from North Carolina CBS sports radio all year rail and I know the loaded biter darling recalled it again. People picking the bill to go back to bowl but the building became shady that we can prove it to be a leader pool, you will win the big game today not been a lot of things very good on paper but it don't show them a free will, so you okay like they've had success on the field all think people are just taking a look at at what happened in the air, their loss to the Kansas City Chiefs and all my God, this is this is the next team up there returning the same squad they've added a key piece in von Miller, someone who has championship experience and from von Miller's perspective he's made it very very clear is why I want to championship ring here in Denver yet on the guy you want to championship ring here with the Ramses like I'm the guy. Von Miller has built himself if he retired today go right into the Hall of Fame make him a spot and so what else can he do not putting him in that the category of class of of Tom Brady here. What else can he do why is he still around.

The man can cement himself as one of the. The best rushers. One of the most successful just defensive players of all time. If he snatches up 1/3 ring with a 13 and if he helped lead the charge if you help be that edge rusher. That is the guy you can be a hired gun and probably not hired anymore.

You got a six year contract interesting Marcus Gola from Alaska your CBS sports radio that JR love the show. I just want to yell quite good for second jump on the bandwagon of optimism and delusion that were listening to right now. Okay, I'm just going to be revived on the diehard giant bear bleed blue all know what I am not delusional. The reality is we might win for game I'm not to be one of those guys that go well game going all the way. No, I am a realist. I am a giant brand vibrant listen, I appreciate you and your honesty Mark. We know the Giants also the team in transition blind day bowl is no longer up in Buffalo, hoping to run that offense.

He's now the man in charge for the New York Giants. And so he could not inherit Daniel Jones.

He did not inherit a sake Juan Barclay. This is basically the great purge for the New York Giants and things are just getting started.

I think outside of some some young pieces on the defense. I think there a lot of members of the team who are just I want to say up for grabs, or their own auditions for the Giants and other squads totally agree with that and I'm very optimistic for the future, but I'm a really good day, my friend. I appreciate you, no doubt about it. Mark I appreciate you for calling up from the great state of Alaska.

I love it got listeners in Alaska. We got listeners in California. We got North Carolina. We got all the bases covered. All of the JR sport re-show you what you want. CBS sports radio. Thank you so much Mark from Alaska for bringing up the New York Giants because in reality we won't have a lot of opportunities to discuss the New York Giants the season unless there either a shocking us or you're getting the hell beat out of them. Derek Henry Tennessee Titans first game first matchup for the New York Giants this season was Derek Henry got lower now hundred 50 yards, 125 170 I got no clue on the list for Daniel Jones you better go out there and try not to throw interceptions. Daniel Jones better go out there and try not to be tackled by the turf and Daniel Jones is just he's hanging on by a thread. He needs to call Dave government and tell him thank you because time is a ticking on his time as a starter with the Giants.

It stinks the JR sport re-show your CBS sports radio.

I will leave the phone lines open will become back. I do want to share with you some comments made by a new member of the NFC East.

He's a veteran member's name is Jason peters as he is no longer an evil he make that one stopover in Chicago along one is now a cowboy so talk about Jason peters. On the other side. I leave the phone lines open and I do want to update you on the other New York football team that plays New Jersey right now your 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. I wanted to thank you for all you do the nation. I've been very analytical and looking at you like you say one thing you say that I don't get what you're saying. I think that the biggest problem that you give the people in your marketing edge that you're doing it on the radio, which is like a telephone version being in the front camera. And you know yourself and coldly now with 855-2124 CBS it is time to say good night, so that check engine light with the three AutoZone fix. Find the service. It will help you troubleshoot the likely cause of your light for free for free.

Restrictions apply.

So get in the zone AutoZone's the JR sport re-show here with you on CBS sports radio as we eagerly await and anticipate the start of the NFL season. Sure the ransom bills will be in action tomorrow night. Thursday night we will be having all of the coverage here for you on CBS sports radio.

We will talk about everything post game we will get your calls, we will get your reactions there will be individuals who will lose their minds when their team wins and they'll be individuals who think that the skies falling. The truth is somewhere in the middle and so let's not overreact over again one and it doesn't matter who or what your team is.

For instance, we actually just had a realist: Mark called up from Alaska.

He said he he's a fan of the New York Giants and realistically he would not be surprised. He is not expecting them to potentially win more than four games in good on you Mark. Good on you for being honest because there's a lot of teams that really don't think a lot of fan bases that are honest with themselves year after year after year. And that's going to lead me to everybody's favorite scene.

America stating that you have it. The Dallas Cowboys and I gotta be honest here if I want to be a realist. The Dallas Cowboys are not garnering as much attention as years passed, the art fans calling up the radio station. I don't care if it's naturally here would CBS or in your local market. I don't get the same type of by the delusional cowboy fans are no running up the lines, they aren't killing it on social media telling everybody how this is going to be the year. This is when we do it it it doesn't have the doesn't have the same font not not at all, and Jerry Jones can run an organization worth more than any other team on planet Earth is not an exaggeration.

The cowboys are worth about 8 1/2 billion dollars right now yeah they got dad like DAC. I don't think he gets credit as EQ Elliott when he's healthy, which is not been a long time. I still believe he's one of the best running backs and again we have Tony Pollard. I know people would love to see Tony get more touches but I think Zeke is still better seating land has to elevate his game into being a number one a wideout. That's what the expectation is as he moves into year number three Michael Gallup people are just expecting and hoping him to be healthy and then you got the cowboys offense of line where unfortunately tie Ron Smith blows out his knee.

You have a young Tyler Smith. This offense of line is so damn busted up.

They had to bring in reinforcements. The Dallas Cowboys had to bring on someone who was for with arrival for almost 20 years. Talk about Jason peters. The 40 year old tackle who last season played for the Chicago Bears someone who won a Super Bowl with the Eagle someone was a nine time Pro Bowler, two-time All-Pro.

Now he's in in Dallas. He's from Texas but it was only three years ago which Jason peters talked about the Dallas Cowboys at the time and he talked about the entire organization. He talked about America's team like they were nothing but a bunch of arrogant jerks.

Everybody in the London okay so what about now. They still are an arrogant group or an arrogant squad. I mean who Sue swapped out on the team are you going to pinpoint anyone in particular, we we talked about the organization and so Jason peters is a member of the cowboys he's telling everybody I will do whatever it takes to help out this group do I need to go out there and you know Tryon and give Tyler Smith an education. I'll do that. But what about his comments from a few years ago. He got us swept them underneath the rug. Take a listen to what he said earlier this week about now joining the Dallas Cowboys already called a millionaire swagger. No much the same thing you notice where you noted going within a week I would guess where you can tell how different play node that can signal scorn and about and showing emotions only on the shoulders and the like, to be honest you notice how we did in Philly, so we don't do it here okay now what was he supposed to say right in his paycheck.

Now given him money is supposed to change his tune in and God knows they need all the help that they can get in. Sure, the NFC East there's always jokes all which the NFC lease then and you know they stink. And who cares look it's good to be a battle at the top you have the Eagles maybe just maybe the Washington commanders can surprise some folks. Maybe Carson Wentz can look like a legitimate legitimate quarterback again got the cowboys who will be battling it out in the mix as well and you got the New York Giants were basically just a doormat for every body. 855-2124 CBS Chris is calling for Maryland.

He knows about the NFC East. I presume Chris your CBS sports radio Maya Augustine that this and that but I will offend people mention our new star in town from Hyattsville. The tennis player Francis this model is famous and a happy athlete with all the stubble bombs moving around. It's great to see the tennis player.

I know people that the quality of talk about can expect to see our fall.

I'm I'm glad good JR he's well it's it's there while he's still young. He's 24. It's taken them about seven years, which is not a surprise. I certainly am rooting for him to win it all nice. Many people call him until you told you so. We got a call the next day and the tell you so many that happens every every daughter time to listen to you a lot of time. You don't get those calls couple things enough of Tom Brady and I really think I what you said about Dallas is so truthful but I just figured it every way.

After the game they played last year to start the season I got a feeling I may socket Tampa Bay but now you're right about that and Peter's flag. I maybe got amnesia.

I mean he likes the money in the and I'm sure. Today was take context. What he said about Dallas but the maybes hit on the head too many times and I like the guy from Alaska and the Washington Redskins Commodore earlier they can win seven games of lucky this year old and well. People don't have high expectations for Carson Wentz and I think people will work well within their right to think so. Christina your Chris and Jacksonville's hat. You know, I nearly jumped all over him last year but Terry Jacksonville's had his number in the past to begin a listen. That is, that I wouldn't say Jacksonville having anybody's number is a no no. But it sure you check the record.

They've had wenches now know you're exactly right there in the little guy. I really feel like his first game is a lifelong Washington Redskins and rip the commanders.

I really think the washroom play a good game. The first game.

Okay maybe create your own on the boat because we don't want to hear that stubble bomb well is not.

I hope ye I hope he is on a boat and shipped out to know where you say that will get you same task away right here.

I want you saying you still respect you would look good in the red in the trauma and colors.

I mean no thanks. Let somebody let Dan Snyder sell the team first so maybe he can get Jim recollecting castaway okay. All right. Anna Miami to Bugatti Jesus that you know, I know everybody's dead dreams and raging aged hair growth and how will run through the whole NFL for me this is your show.
