  • Caleb & MJ

    Colin no one in Chicago thinks Caleb is Jordan! Stop it!!!! Also, look through your history on the show you said Jordan on the wizards was still the best player on the floor when they Portland….now you said it was ugly! The second meeting they beat Portland and MJ went for 25 pts, 5 boards, & 7 assists. I think I like ugly!!! Stay consistent & true. We have enough people that lie and make up stories.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

THE HERD – HOUR 2 – GREG COSELL I Rays vs Brewers - Must Watch!?
Q: What did you make of CJ Stroud?
Cosell says Stroud has improved at staying composed under pressure and is playing as well as he has since his rookie season. He highlights Stroud's arm talent and a deep completion created by a route combination that exploited quarters coverage.
THE HERD – HOUR 2 – GREG COSELL I Rays vs Brewers - Must Watch!?
Q: Are you surprised by how good Walker has fit, and he kind of runs the offense?
Cosell says Kansas City has built a physical, zone-based running game and that Walker has become central to its first-down offense, where he is averaging more than six yards per carry.
THE HERD – HOUR 3 – ROBERT MAYS I Yaxel Lendeborg vs Luka Doncic
Q: What was the pivot for Drake Maye over the last three games?
Mays points to fewer turnovers, added motion and creative use of backs, and better pass protection, which have made the offense easier to operate.
THE HERD – HOUR 3 – ROBERT MAYS I Yaxel Lendeborg vs Luka Doncic
Q: Are you surprised by Caleb Williams' accuracy, especially after his 24-for-24 performance in a clean pocket?
Robert Mays says he is encouraged rather than surprised, explaining that Williams was accurate on short and intermediate throws at USC and may now be settling into the NFL's speed and his offensive system.
3 & Out - Thursday Night Football Reaction, NFL Sunday 4-Box, Best Week 8 Matchups & Weekend Predictions
Q: Do you think he'd be considered an elite quarterback if he had a stable foundation?
Middlekauff says Justin Herbert could likely be viewed as elite with a stable system and a coach such as Andy Reid, Kyle Shanahan or Sean McVay, while adding that Herbert is not playing well currently and that his fit with Mike McDaniel has struggled.
