Join us as we tawk about last week's Hall of Fame game, look towards the preseason games kicking off this week, and try to explain why Andy Dalton is worth that much money.

Jack Terry · 3:00 PM

What;s going on JD? Are you ready for some FOOTBALL?

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:00 PM

Hey Jack!!! OMG what an exciting week for the NFL!

Jack Terry · 3:00 PM

Every week is an exciting week!

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:00 PM

I am so ready for some football

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:00 PM

aaarrrrgggggg. brb

Jack Terry · 3:01 PM

I want to start on a lighter note. You ever read The Onion?

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:01 PM

I do sometimes get sucked into one of the Onion stories...love it

Jack Terry · 3:02 PM

They ran one yesterday saying Tony Romo would be missing tonights preseason game because of an ovarian cyst!

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:02 PM

Tawk among yourselves...I've got to reboot

Jack Terry · 3:02 PM

And here I am living in Amish paradise thinking I'd have the computer problems.

Jack Terry · 3:03 PM

Big news in NFL out this way, if you can call it news, is that the Eagles are looking to sitch the color of their jerseys back to what they call "Kelly Green."

Jack Terry · 3:04 PM

Are they that excited about what Chip Kelly helped them accomplish last year? Although i do think it's a better color than the "midnight green" they feature now.

Jack Terry · 3:04 PM

Of course the NFL, being all about the marketing, simply won't let them make the swithc. Experts say it'll take two years, if it gets done at all.

Jack Terry · 3:05 PM

I guess that mean Nike doesn't have enough sweatshops up an running to kick out all the new jerseys that they need.

Jack Terry · 3:05 PM

Of course, having been there, I think one New Jersey is enough.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:06 PM

okay...am I live now?

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:06 PM

yay!!

Jack Terry · 3:06 PM

And besides, how many Philadelphia Eagles jerseys does the NFL think they are going to sell this year?

Jack Terry · 3:06 PM

Oh hey welcome back!

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:06 PM

What a silly thing to be such a big deal...funny though...Kelly Green

Jack Terry · 3:07 PM

It is, and I'm no fashion expert (one year at The Gap notwithstanding) I don't think the color they're looking at is actually "kelly", more like a forest

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:07 PM

Each new Jersey that a team comes up with isn't necessarily put into retail...

Jack Terry · 3:07 PM

how could they not be? that's how the league makes money.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:07 PM

And...a new Kelly Green jersey isn't going to help them win...

Jack Terry · 3:08 PM

look at all those atrocious throw back jerseys that come out.

Jack Terry · 3:08 PM

not unless the jersey comes with a quarterback

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:08 PM

Some of the throw backs have not gone to retail

Jack Terry · 3:08 PM

Thank god, because some of them are UGLY!!!

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:08 PM

Who would want to wear the Pittsburg Steelers bumble bee uniforms anyway???

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:09 PM

So. on a serious note...How about that Hall of Fame game...thoughts?

Jack Terry · 3:09 PM

I was trying to remember who looked like a collection of extras from the "No Rain" video!

Jack Terry · 3:09 PM

I was surprised to see Eli Manning stay in for the whole first quarter, but I think it shows that the Giants know they have serious work to do to learn their new offense

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:09 PM

Congrats to the 2014 class of HOF inductees by the way...

Jack Terry · 3:10 PM

First punter ever! Now there is a complete squad in the HOF.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:10 PM

I was surprised by that also...Manning I mean. His performance was less than expected...even for only one quarter.

Jack Terry · 3:11 PM

From what I've read it's a brand new offense. Basically starting from scratch.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:11 PM

The Bills first squad Defense looked highly improved over last year...

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:11 PM

Yes, but interceptions aren't caused by new offences

Jack Terry · 3:11 PM

Until Andre Williams ran all over them.

Jack Terry · 3:12 PM

Ha! No they aren't and neither are sacks.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:12 PM

exactly.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:12 PM

I think poor little Eli Manning is in the shadows again this year.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:12 PM

Big Brother Peyton is going to get all the glory again.

Jack Terry · 3:12 PM

He might want some extra padding in his backside, because he's going to spend a lot of time there.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:13 PM

LOL...not a prediction, a fact

Jack Terry · 3:13 PM

And he'll deserve it. Denver has a much more complete team.

Jack Terry · 3:13 PM

If this were baseball, they'd be calling this a rebuilding year for the New York Giants.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:13 PM

Speaking of Peyton...highlight game of wk 1 NFL preseason...Seahawks vs Bronco...thoughts?

Jack Terry · 3:14 PM

It will be a nice chance to see people we've never heard of try to impress their coaches!

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:14 PM

Well, realistically that's what preseason NFL is all about

Jack Terry · 3:14 PM

I don't think either team has too much to work on that they will risk any of their star players for more than one series of plays.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:15 PM

I predict that none of the star players will play more than a short time

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:15 PM

Russell Wilson will play maybe two possesions as will Manning.

Jack Terry · 3:15 PM

I wouldn't be surprised to see both peyton and Russel Wilson will be on an actual snap count. Once they take ten or twelve, that's it, regardless of where the drive is at.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:16 PM

No sense in risking injury for a preseason game, plus, like you said...it's showtime for the hungry players looking for a permanent spot on the rosters

Jack Terry · 3:16 PM

The game I'm looking forward to tonight, as I'm sure you are, is the Bengals Chiefs game.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:17 PM

Oh, yea, can't wait to see how things unfold in that one

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:17 PM

Golden boy Andy Dalton...and all.

Jack Terry · 3:17 PM

Andy Dalton, 6 years, 115 MILLION dollars, for a QB who is 0-3 in the post season.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:18 PM

Makes no sense at all...what are the Bengals thinking? He's not a high impact QB and never has been

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:18 PM

Maybe they know something we don't...like Dalton became a different player in the off season.

Jack Terry · 3:19 PM

I don't know what they think they know, but they better know something.

Jack Terry · 3:19 PM

That's a huge commitment to a mediocre QB, and trust me, as a Cowboys fan, I know all about that sort of thing.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:19 PM

Weeden starting QB for Dallas...for preseason anyway...what's the scoop on Tony Romo?

Jack Terry · 3:20 PM

They're babying him! He's been sitting out occasional practices, and they say this was the plan all along.

Jack Terry · 3:20 PM

Besides, Wheedon needs all the snaps he can get!

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:20 PM

His back I understand isn't in "game shape" according to ESPN

Jack Terry · 3:21 PM

weeden. One of these days I'll learn how to spel.

Jack Terry · 3:21 PM

What's game shape for an 8-8 QB?

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:21 PM

And for the fourth time in his career, Tom Brady isn't starting for the Patriots during the first preseason game against Washington

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:21 PM

Ryan Mallett is taking the helm...wow

Jack Terry · 3:21 PM

Huh. Maybe this is his political stand against their name.

Jack Terry · 3:22 PM

Ryan who?

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:22 PM

Brady has taken 80 of 100 snaps in camp but Mallett is starting??? what?

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:22 PM

He's in his last season of his rookie contract so the Pats want to see if he's worth keeping.

Jack Terry · 3:23 PM

Maybe this is how Bill Belichek likes to teach his kids to swim: by throwing them in the deep end and seeing what happens.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:23 PM

Not a bad Plan Belichek is a VERY successful NFL coach.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:23 PM

to state the obvious

Jack Terry · 3:24 PM

In other news, the sky is blue!

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:24 PM

LOL...shut up...

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:24 PM

Cam Newton for the Panthers is also iffy to start the first game against the Bills.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:25 PM

Many starting QB's are warming the bench for the first games...probably wise.

Jack Terry · 3:25 PM

I'm not too surprised. If they have nothing to prove or nothing too much to learn, why risk it?

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:25 PM

Exactly....next: The Cleveland Browns Saga...

Jack Terry · 3:25 PM

Better to wait until the O lines know their blocking assignments and the receivers can run their routes.

Jack Terry · 3:25 PM

Oh man, Johnny Football steps to the stage.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:26 PM

Hoyer won the starting position and will play the first few possessions on Saturday against the Lions

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:26 PM

Manziel will take over early on and we'll see just what the wonder boy can do against the big boys

Jack Terry · 3:26 PM

That's gonna be a good second half, when the second and third string defensive players get a chance to take a crack at him.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:27 PM

I watched some Browns camp footage and the defensive line was not sacking him...they would just pick him up and set him on the ground. It was comical

Jack Terry · 3:27 PM

Yeah, they don't want to hurt their meal ticket. The Lions on the other hand...

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:28 PM

He looked similar to a chicken with his head cut off running around the backfield.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:28 PM

Fear is a great motivator thought...he might actually look okay on Saturday.

Jack Terry · 3:28 PM

He's always looked like that. they call it "good improv skills' until he loses 20 yards on the sack.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:29 PM

Thigpen will get some playing time...the Browns don't want Hoyer or Manziel hurt.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:29 PM

Hoyer was doing very well last season until he blew his knee out

Jack Terry · 3:29 PM

Yeah, I wonder if Manziel will be out by the fourth quarter if not sooner.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:29 PM

And how about old school Matt Cassell getting the go ahead in Minnesota???

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:30 PM

I see Manziel playing one maybe two quarters to get the kinks out...but no more

Jack Terry · 3:30 PM

I feel it! This is his year!! The first thirteen seasons were just warm ups!!!

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:31 PM

The Detroit Lions have a monster defense so look for Manziel's uniform to get dirty

Jack Terry · 3:31 PM

The Lions play for blood and pride. I know that "bounties" are illegal....

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:32 PM

I think it will be fun to watch Johnny Football get a little learnin'

Jack Terry · 3:32 PM

I can't wait to see it happen.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:32 PM

It should be a fun weekend...time to get my fantasy team together!!

Jack Terry · 3:32 PM

Cassell has been lucky enough to have a career game at the right time, but thosegames that earned him big money and respect are the exception to the rule for him I believe.

Jack Terry · 3:33 PM

Fantasy Football is a sure fire way for players to do badly. Just put them on my team!

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:33 PM

I have an opinion about Cassell...he's a great player if he's got a lne that can protect him...

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:33 PM

IF the line is weak, he'll go down. the Vikings got nothing so we'll see

Jack Terry · 3:33 PM

That's a big IF.

Jack Terry · 3:34 PM

A great QB is one who can make things happen in spite of his circumstances, not just because of them.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:34 PM

The fact that the Vikings field is now on the U of M campus is a big factor in the Minnesota success no matter who is playing QB

Jack Terry · 3:35 PM

Yeah, they're kinda screwed right out of the gate.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:35 PM

Bridgewater should see some playing time against the Raiders this weekend and he's another I want to see play.

Jack Terry · 3:35 PM

I don't follow enough college ball to know if he's worth the hype, so it'll be interesting to see what he can do.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:36 PM

He was a great BCS player but like we've discussed before the transition can be difficult for offensive players, especially QB's

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:36 PM

Look at what happened to RGIII

Jack Terry · 3:36 PM

And once again, no favors being done playing in an environment like that.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:37 PM

High hopes and hurt so bad he's afraid to play his kind of football...

Jack Terry · 3:37 PM

I think it's more that the Redskins are afraid to let him play his kind of football, and that they don't have a team that can play it for him.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:37 PM

There are high hopes for Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts this year also...if he can stay healthy.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:38 PM

You can see the fear in RGIII when he plays

Jack Terry · 3:38 PM

I see it twice a year when he's facing my 'Boys!

Jack Terry · 3:38 PM

The Colts have a solid team. If Luck has luck they should go pretty far.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:39 PM

Speaking of the 'boys....will Dallas pull off better than .500 this year?

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:39 PM

I promise Weeden will be no help doing it

Jack Terry · 3:39 PM

The fan in me says "Of Course!" The realist in me says "Not a chance!"

Jack Terry · 3:39 PM

Too many injuries, too many headaches, too little defense, too much pressure.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:40 PM

They missed their chance to get Johnny Football...was that a mistake with the condition of Romo?

Jack Terry · 3:41 PM

No, because the last thing the Cowboys need is another personality. You need someone mature and level headed-Brady, Peyton, Brees-who can handle it all. Romo's a good QB but shoots himself in the foot.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:42 PM

So they picked up Weeden? Talk about a mistake. He's so bad even his helmet doesn't fit right!!!

Jack Terry · 3:42 PM

I never said they were smart!!

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:42 PM

Neither did I...not a Cowboys fan at all...

Jack Terry · 3:43 PM

Nobody is! The problem is they need a QB they can take their time with and groom, but there is no one there to do the grooming and they don't give them the time. One mistake and it's time for a change.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:43 PM

Weeden is already in his 30's...not a grooming kind of QB...big mistake taking him...no trade value an they will get very little out of him.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:44 PM

I've been watching Weeden since his Oklahoma State days and he's not a NFL QB

Jack Terry · 3:44 PM

That's Jerry Jones for you. Romo's his show pony, so he's not going to do anything, like sign a decent back up, that might look like he doesn't have confidence in Romo. JJ's ego has and is ruining the team.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:45 PM

I believe you with all of my heart...Jones is defeating the team with poor choices.

Jack Terry · 3:45 PM

Yup. Gonna punch him square in the face if I ever meet him.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:46 PM

Since we're tawking your team...how about those Chiefs?? Quietly putting together another post season team!! No one is talking about them again this year!

Jack Terry · 3:46 PM

I guarantee you they'll be tawking about them by mid October. They're going to be good.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:47 PM

I totally agree and get goose bumps when I think about watching them dominate this year...big problem is Denver in our division...can't seem to beat them consistantly

Jack Terry · 3:48 PM

Plus they have to play the patriots and the 49er's early. Still, I think they're a Wild Card lock this year.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:48 PM

AFC West is a tough division...but I agree. Similarly to last season they will squeak into the playoffs.

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:48 PM

Super nice Tawk today, Jack!!!

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:49 PM

I can't wait to review the first week of the 2014 NFL preseason with you next Thursday!!

Jack Terry · 3:49 PM

Take it is JD! See you next week for more NFL insight and upsides from the ouside on the down low.

Jack Terry · 3:49 PM

easy. Take it easy. Man I'm an idiot....

Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 3:49 PM

Hut hut!!! Later Jack!
