The preseason winds down, the regular season heats up and the controversies won't die. Who makes the team, who gets the starts, and who wins it all? Join Jack and JD as they host their weekly NFL tawk.

JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:00 PM

Hey Popcorn Jack!
JT

Jack Terry · 3:00 PM

What's going on JD? Ready to tawk some NFL football?
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:00 PM

I am indeed...2014 NFL preseason coming to a close
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:01 PM

A pointless week of football unless your doing the last chance dance!
JT

Jack Terry · 3:01 PM

Yes it is, which means one week from tonight it's kickoff time for the regular season. So excited.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:01 PM

It's going to be an amazing season!!
JT

Jack Terry · 3:01 PM

That's a great question though: is it pointless or do teams look to build some momentum going into opening week by playing a "statement" game?
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:02 PM

last preseason game? Last chance dance for most of the men on the field
JT

Jack Terry · 3:03 PM

You will some guys trying to make a great impression. 22 players from each team are about to lose a job
JT

Jack Terry · 3:04 PM

I know it's still a paycheck, but I wonder how excited players get by being told they made the practice squad.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:04 PM

I won't even watch much tonight...I'll keep an ear on things but...
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:04 PM

that's like playing AAA baseball..you could be called up if you play your cards right.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:05 PM

If I were looking to play for the NFL, I would be thrilled to be on the practice squad!
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:05 PM

risk of injury is much lower! lol
JT

Jack Terry · 3:06 PM

Ha! Good point.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:06 PM

there is one really classic game tonight...KC against Green Bay
JT

Jack Terry · 3:06 PM

Gee, and why do you think that's classic? (Cough, cough.)
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:07 PM

Gee, maybe cuz they go way back...
JT

Jack Terry · 3:07 PM

Ok I'll give you that. How much do you think Charles plays tonight?
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:08 PM

Bears and Browns, too...no historical superbowl but a classic rivalry
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:08 PM

LOL
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:08 PM

You won't see JC on the field tonight...haha
JT

Jack Terry · 3:09 PM

You better not! If I had to watch a game tonight, I'd be interested in Texans/49ers. Texans looked good (as good as you can in preseason) against the Broncos last week.
JT

Jack Terry · 3:09 PM

and they're definitely a team that needs some momentum.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:10 PM

I like the Saints Ravens matchup tonight...
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:10 PM

Another team needed a kick in the ass...Baltimore
JT

Jack Terry · 3:10 PM

Good offense versus good defense. Immoveable object versus irresistible force.
JT

Jack Terry · 3:11 PM

In more ways than one. It's kind of surprising to see how mediocre their division has become.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:11 PM

there is a changing of the guard going on this season...I believe.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:12 PM

Many of the dynasties are slipping...
JT

Jack Terry · 3:12 PM

We shall see. One of the more surprising roster moves this year wasn't a cut but a trade. and it might have a lot to do with a fading dynasty. Logan Mankins to the Buccaneers.
JT

Jack Terry · 3:13 PM

Rumors out of New England is that the O line is having problems adjusting to a new coach. Tom Brady may need some extra padding in his seat.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:13 PM

That type of thing has been happening with many of the top NFL teams...
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:13 PM

Brady gets hit a bunch this season....Prediction
JT

Jack Terry · 3:14 PM

The patriots have always seemed more immune to it than most, because of The Sweatshirts shrewd moves. But I think your right about Brady. Older legs aren't going to help him either.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:15 PM

that's exactly right...his mobiility has dwindled greatly over the past few seasons...and he wasn't a scrambler really to begin with!
JT

Jack Terry · 3:15 PM

I think people thought he was a good scrambler only because he replaced Drew "The Statue" Bledsoe.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:15 PM

and look at Big Ben and the Steelers...wow talk about a lost dynasty...
JT

Jack Terry · 3:16 PM

Maybe it's the Cowboy fan in me, which brings with it a dislike for the Steelers, but I never understood the hype about Big Ben. Very good quarterback, yes, with some great numbers and games, but he just never struck me as an elite QB.
JT

Jack Terry · 3:17 PM

It doesn't help that he seems as dumb as a post some times.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:17 PM

Superbowl Champions...can't deny the win. Ben has a ring
JT

Jack Terry · 3:17 PM

I don't think Tony Romo even knows how to spell "ring"
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:17 PM

elite or not...I can't stand him myself but I respect the skills
JT

Jack Terry · 3:18 PM

I know you're big on Bridgewater. How long before you think he sees substantial time in Minnesota?
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:18 PM

My guess is game 3 or 4 he may start...Cassel isn't the great white hope for the Vikings...
JT

Jack Terry · 3:19 PM

I hope, for Teddy's sake, that you're right. If they wait too long and he gets his first starts when it's gotten cold up there, it will only hurt him.
JT

Jack Terry · 3:21 PM

Their first nine games only two division rivals and only a few teams with a strong D. Cassel may trip his way into a 6-3 or even 7-2 start.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:21 PM

I'm thinkin Touchdown Teddy will take over pretty quickly...
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:21 PM

How long before Manziel sees time...ever without Hoyer getting injured?
JT

Jack Terry · 3:22 PM

5 of their last 7 games are cold weather games. If he hasn't had time to break himself in before the weather turns it's going to be a challenge.
JT

Jack Terry · 3:22 PM

Week 5. Their first three games are tough, and week four is their bye. I don't have them winning anything to start and the extra week lets Manziel really learn the playbook.
JT

Jack Terry · 3:23 PM

Which he should have been doing instead of blowing lines in a Vegas bathroom...
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:23 PM

Cleveland is going to be a roller coaster ride this season
JT

Jack Terry · 3:23 PM

Roller coasters have ups and downs. That team is just a slow ride from bad to worse.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:24 PM

jGordon gone for the season...
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:24 PM

Not going to be a pretty season for the Dog Pound
JT

Jack Terry · 3:24 PM

They got Miles and Burleson, but it doesn't matter who's QBing. They'll be too busy running for their lives to throw a decent pass.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:24 PM

lol...
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:25 PM

That's Johnny Football's problem...he wants to run the ball...no eyes down field
JT

Jack Terry · 3:26 PM

None, which I think is teh problem with most rookie QBs in the NFL. They go from a college "system" to having to learn to play the complete position.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:26 PM

true.
JT

Jack Terry · 3:26 PM

So do you plans for a kickoff party next week?
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:27 PM

We're moving...NFL Primetime with Jack and JD is now going to be on Tuesday evenings at 9pm EST!!
JT

Jack Terry · 3:27 PM

yes we are, although I think someone's taking next week off?
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:27 PM

Jack...I'll be in Florida on vacation for the opener...
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:28 PM

you and Jeff can take care of things!
JT

Jack Terry · 3:28 PM

We got it! have a great vacation. As always a wonderful tawk.
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:28 PM

I'll be back for week 2!!
JA

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:28 PM

Have a great day...
JT

Jack Terry · 3:29 PM

With a lot to tawk about I'm sure! take care!
