Hour 1: Is it a Mistake for Joe Burrow to Play if he isn't 100%?

LSU listed starting quarterback Sam Leavitt as doubtful for Saturday's game against rival Ole Miss, and the injury is unclear.

No one on the Ole Miss staff is convinced LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt's appearance as doubtful on the injury report is sincere, and he'll miss the game on Saturday.

I think that Lane Kiffin lying through his teeth. I think he's playing around. He's annoying people. He's being the agitator.

I do remember like seeing him, you know, against La Tech just this past week. He had a sleeve, I believe, on his right knee, a black sleeve that you can see on one of his legs. So, I mean, obviously there was something that he was dealing with, something that he's protecting.

Ole Miss, you have that obligation too. When he was at Ole Miss and returned to Tennessee, got hit with golf balls, mustard bottles, stuff like that.

You cannot be threatening people's lives. That's right. You know, you cannot be doing bodily harm to to people over a sport.

Ole Miss wasn't what they are now. Lane Kiffin had something to do with that. When you look at them, 55 and 19 in his six seasons. Only Alabama and Georgia had more wins among SEC schools since the start of the 2020 season since Lane Kiffin's arrival.

Every game is so important to me. I'm gonna do what it takes to be out there. If I'm not getting surgery, I'll be out there.

I trust Joe Burrow's ability to assess his own health, his injury, his readiness. That said, it's concerning that he's limited in practice. That's what you're looking at, and it's especially concerning given the opponent.

I think Burrow should be quiet sometimes, because they talk about how he's balancing competitiveness, you know, with protecting himself. And I'm like, we might need to stop hearing that.

There's no question that they went to work this off-season, and the offensive line is improved. There's no doubt about it.

I'm watching the defense because right now Chicago has a Super Bowl caliber offense and a bottom five defense. And the question is, can the defense just get up to even just like below average, based on what we saw from the offense?

If you don't have enough pass rush and your secondary is already suspect, later in the down it gets. The longer it takes for a quarterback to let go with the football... what happens with Chicago is they get in trouble late in the down.

I'm focused on the offense. I don't believe in Chicago's defense. I believe, at best, it's going to be average.

We just need to make Jalen Hurts be a quarterback. Stop his runs, make sure Hertz doesn't get out of the pocket and make plays.

Yeah, they're out of bounds. They're way out of bounds... His best throws were from the pocket last week.

What Simmons said to lose point is a misconception generally about Jalen Hurts, which is that he's better outside the pocket. That's not not just last week, but over the last few years, he has always been better inside the pocket.

When he went against the Eagles, pressure rate was like at 2.8 percent. They said he was completely neutralized. Who is he going against? Landon Dickerson. Who's on the injured list? Landon Dickerson. So in other words, he's chirping right now, and it's not to knock him because the brother could play.

I mean, I think the media has this expectation that I'm supposed to throw 400 yards and five touchdowns every week. So, until that happens, I guess it's going to be the same same situation.

It's not the media who's putting these expectations on you. It's the fact that you signed the first fully guaranteed contract in NFL history. 230 million. Like that's where these expectations come from.

You're complaining about people talking about you playing football. Haven't you done other things that people could be talking about? They're not bringing it up. None of it. I'm not going to bring it up now. None of it. You're actually being talked about as it pertains to football. How, with all that you have been through, Deshawn, could you be complaining about people talking about football?
