WEBVTT - 01/14/22 DPs Hour 3 Brian Griese 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:03.520 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:06.960 Sports Radio Final Hour on this Friday. It's a meat 0:00:07.040 --> 0:00:10.319 Friday at that And in case you live vicariously through 0:00:10.520 --> 0:00:15.040 us on Meat Friday, we have burgers and brotts chili 0:00:15.480 --> 0:00:18.599 chili left over from yesterday that I think Paulie's on 0:00:18.640 --> 0:00:22.040 his third helping of chili this morning. We also have 0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:27.120 broccoli and Brussels Brussels sprouts in there as well. Add 0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:29.000 some greens to it. You know, when you go to 0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:32.560 dinner with al Michaels, you can't have anything green, No vegetables, 0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:35.720 no parsley, no nothing on the plate. He just has 0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:38.720 a piece of meat there, just a steak. That's it, 0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:41.720 all right. Coming up, we'll talk to Brian Greasy from 0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:45.040 the mother Ship. You got Cardinals Rams on Monday Night. 0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:50.639 Football Saturday, Raiders, Bengals, Patriots, Bills. Yes, it will be 0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:54.240 very cold in Buffalo, Eagles of the Buccaneers. You're gonna 0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:57.160 have wind and rain, the Niners at the Cowboys and 0:00:57.200 --> 0:01:01.760 the Steelers at the Chiefs. Some entry comments yesterday by 0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:06.160 the GM of the Colts, Chris Ballard, very very difficult 0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:10.360 end of the season, and he was asked about trading 0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:14.240 for Carson Wentz if he had any regrets. So let 0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:16.640 me say this, when we made the decision after Philip 0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:20.000 retired and we made the decision to make a move 0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:25.200 on Carson, at the time of the decision, we felt 0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:28.440 good about it, and I still don't regret the decision 0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:32.360 at the time. I'm not gonna just sitting here today 0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:35.319 just so y'all know, I won't. I won't make a 0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:38.560 comment on who's going to be here next year and 0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:41.839 who's not going to be here next year. That's not fair, 0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:45.920 that's not fair to any player. I thought Carson did 0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:47.720 some good things, and there's a lot of things that 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:50.360 he needs to do better. You know, our passing game 0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:55.080 has to be better. Okay, I love that Chris Ballard 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:57.640 appears to be telling me the truth. This is a 0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:02.120 must lie situation because the Cleveland Browns cleaned up their mess, 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:05.360 their spill in Aisle six, where all of a sudden, 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:07.639 the coach and the quarterback are on the same page. 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:13.040 Everything's good now. Now, that doesn't mean Cleveland won't have options, 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:16.240 won't consider options at quarterback. But if you're the Colts, 0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:21.000 what other GM is going to say about his quarterback 0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:24.160 that he gave up some draft picks for that he's 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:27.040 paying a lot of money to and he's not quite 0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:31.720 committed to that quarterback. You're a little bit locked in 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:35.640 there financially with Carson Wentz. But I was surprised. I 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:39.880 thought that, hey, we traded for Carson. We have confidence 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:42.160 in Carson. You know, if you look at the stats, 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:47.400 the numbers that he had this year, those are very reputable. 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:52.600 But when you watch Carson Wentz, what I see doesn't 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:56.239 match the numbers that he produces. Because if he throws 0:02:56.280 --> 0:03:00.400 for what twenty seven touchdown seven interceptions, you go, okay 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:02.560 with that running game and that defense, all right, I'll 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:06.519 take that. It just it feels like he's going to 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:09.640 give the game away. And maybe it's not fair to 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:13.760 Kirk d Cousins, but he has good numbers. But there's 0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:16.240 this feeling of is he going to get you over 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:18.680 the hump? Is he going to win a game? Or 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:21.720 could he lose a game? And that's that feeling that 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:25.240 I get with Carson Wentz. By the way, Super wild 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:29.600 Card Weekend Live on NBC. Two great matchups. The NBC 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:33.040 and Peacock will bring you the Raiders in the Bengals 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:37.360 Saturday afternoon and then Sunday night the Steelers clashing with 0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:41.440 the Chiefs. This in from Pro Football Talk. Brian Flores 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:46.160 will interview with the Chicago Bears today. You'll probably get 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:49.760 an opportunity to interview for a couple other openings, maybe 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:53.240 the Houston Texans. Yes, PAULI, let's say it was Bears 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:55.800 Texans hypothetically for Brian Flores. Let's say those are the 0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:57.720 two first offers on the table, and they were the 0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:01.880 only offers on the table. Bears an. Yeah, it's just 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:04.640 I don't like the ownership with the Texans. You know, 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:07.720 David Colley was shown the door after one year. What 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:10.560 are you building on there? I don't even know what 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:13.600 I'm going to get for Deshaun Watson. And when I 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:17.760 can get rid of Deshaun Watson, it feels like next 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:20.160 year is going to be like this year. You're in limbo. 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:24.360 But the Texans announced that they would fire their head coach, 0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:28.520 David Cully, and as Mike Florio pointed out, he got 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:30.920 hired to be fired. You wanted a coach who could 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:33.800 get you through this year. It's like a gap year. Hey, 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:36.359 we just need to get through this year because there's 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:41.120 a whole lot going on. You're trying to deal Deshaun Watson. 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:45.000 You can't. Although I can look at David Culley and 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:48.360 say you won four games. That's how many the Texans 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:52.400 won with Deshaun Watson last year, and they played hard 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:54.520 that game against the Titans at the end of the year. 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:57.839 But the best player still has a lot of hurdles 0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:00.719 to pass to get on the field. Management is impatient, 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:03.159 and are you going to be able to recruit a 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:06.159 top tier coach. It's going to be very difficult there. 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:09.800 You know, David Culley was not going to get another opportunity. Now, 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:13.080 he's probably in his mid fifties. He had been a 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:17.480 lifelong assistant coach, got an opportunity. Now I got paid, 0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:20.520 got paid to go away. But I felt bad for him, 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:25.480 his chance to coach in the NFL, and you did 0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:28.000 it without a quarterback. Now, Davis Mills, I would give 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:31.479 him another chance this next year. If you watch the Texans, 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:35.920 Davis Mills has potential. That's not a good roster. And 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:38.880 I thought Davis Mills at times looked really good. He 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:42.839 looked like a starting quarterback. Now I don't know if 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:46.320 he doesn't have the name recognition. You know, when you're 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:48.920 a later draft pick, you're not a first round pick, 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:51.719 it feels like they can move on from you easily. 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:54.800 But I look at that team and I don't see 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:58.040 a lot of promise. And if I'm Brian Flores, I 0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:01.040 want to go into a situation are I feel a 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:05.200 little bit more comfortable with my quarterback and the Bears 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:08.960 have more talent than Houston does. Yeah, Seton, why didn't 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:11.880 and I think you mentioned this earlier, but why didn't 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.760 the Texans just have, say like Romeo Cornell lead them 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:17.160 through the season instead of hiring somebody just to then 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:21.119 they they're gonna ultimately end up paying David Culley twenty 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:24.240 two million dollars to coach one year. Yeah, this way, 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:26.960 you have Romeo Coronell on staff. You just say, hey, 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:30.800 we're gonna pay you, you know, something commensurate to being 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:32.640 a head coach. We just need you to get us 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:36.159 through this year. So you already you already got Romeo Cornell, 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:38.880 he's been a head coach, all right, there you go, 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:42.160 and then he could get you through this season instead 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:45.880 of bringing in David Cully and making it seem like boy, 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:48.679 David Cully is gonna be that's the guy we wanted. 0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:51.440 He's gonna be our head coach for the future. Because now, 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:54.200 not only as an organization do you seem kind of lost, 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:58.719 but now you're also cruel. What did you do that for? Yeah? Yeah, 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:01.760 is what the text did this season. Tanking in the 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:05.520 traditional sense. Their quarterbacks that he wouldn't play. They acquiesced 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:07.400 to him, and they chose not to have him play. 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:09.880 He's a healthy scratch, he's in the locker room every week, 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:12.960 and they chose to have a subpar team on the field. 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:16.040 I mean, their fans got disservices. Is that tanking or 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:20.000 is that? Is that a strategy? Well, the strategy is 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:22.760 you didn't want DeShawn Watson to get hurt, therefore you 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:25.960 can't trade him. He didn't want to play there, and 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:30.320 it felt like it was everybody's in agreement here. The 0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:34.200 league didn't mind. I didn't hear anybody from the league say, 0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:36.920 come on, you know competitive balance and you got to 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:40.360 play that guy. It just felt like this was the 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:43.400 best case for everybody. Keep him off the field. We 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:46.760 don't want somebody accused of these you know these charges here. 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:49.720 Let's put him. Take him off the field. And the 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:54.400 Texans are probably like, yeah, that's fine. And then if 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:57.360 if you're DeShawn Watson, you don't want to play for 0:07:57.400 --> 0:07:59.360 the Texans. You don't want to get hurt, you don't 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:02.520 want to hurt trade value. It just felt like everybody 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:06.080 was in cahoots here, including the league. That's where the league, 0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:08.600 you would think, would go, hey, you got to put 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:11.240 the best product out there on the field, and until 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:13.880 he's found guilty of these charges, he should be out 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:17.560 there playing. But then there's no charges right now, these 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:23.080 are civil cases against him. We've been dealing with this 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:28.880 for ten months now, no charges. Was it mid February 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:31.520 that this came Yeah, middle late February. Remember Deshaun said 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:33.160 he wouldn't play there and it was all his side 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:36.840 and then it all went squirreling. Still no charges. Crazy, crazy? 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:39.760 What are the point spreads do we have? Has any 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:44.080 point spread changed dramatically? Weatherwise? Oh? By the way, Bill 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:46.400 Belichick was asked about the weather that they're going to 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:50.400 face in Buffalo. Hey, Bill hook, you're doing well? What 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:52.200 are you? What are some of the benefits to you 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:57.400 for practicing on the game field inside Gallet today? It's 0:08:57.440 --> 0:09:09.120 not frozen. Thanks Okay, you got it. He did have 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:12.439 a grin on his face. Las Vegas, by the way, 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:15.920 the greatest arena on earth. As we segue into the point, 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:19.000 spreads Paul, Yeah, no big changes. I got to Cincinnati 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:22.600 favored by five and a half, Bill's favored by four, 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:25.839 Buccaneers favored by eight and a half. I think that 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:28.960 changed a little. Cowboys still favored by three, chief still 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:31.560 favored by twelve and a half, and the Rams are 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:35.079 our four point favorites. Monday night. I don't know when 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:37.920 it was, but I did mention it on the show 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:40.880 that we found out that, you know, they treated it 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:43.320 like it was breaking news in Dallas that Dallas would 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:47.320 be the backup destination for the super Bowl. And you 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:50.120 know we heard from prominent people just say they every 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:55.120 year they have a backup plan. It's standard procedure here. Well, 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:59.600 the report now is the super Bowl is staying in California, 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:05.679 Spike COVID concerns. Yeah, I don't know if that's is 0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:10.880 that breaking news? Is it unbreaking false news? It's unbreaking 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:14.200 breaking news of what was going to happen, that they 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:16.720 were going to move it to Dallas at and T Stadium. 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:20.480 They could accept the responsibilities of hosting the Super Bowl 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:27.599 and uh, but from what we're hearing, the chiefs or 0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:32.480 the RAMS chief operating Officer Kevin Demoff suggested such a 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:37.040 decision was never seriously considered, okay, and we wanted to 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:40.360 make sure that we told people that that. Do you 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:43.360 have a backup plan for every Super Bowl? A couple 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:46.559 of phone calls in here Mike and Wisconsin. Hi Mike, 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:50.199 what's on your mind today? Dan? How are we doing? Good? Good? 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:57.000 What do you have for me? I had a travel 0:10:57.440 --> 0:11:00.200 stop idea for Seaton when he's planning out as old 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:05.360 trip the Muscle Shoals Sound studio done in Alabama. Yeah, 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:11.200 I watched the documentary on that, but that would be nice. Yeah, 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:15.040 there's like that whole sort of like crossroads spot down 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:16.960 there too. There's there's a lot of great music spots 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:19.000 down there. You just hung up on him, Yeah, I 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:24.280 thought he's done. Thanks okay, Dan, I guess get to 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:27.319 your point quickly. Dan from Colorado is joining us on 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:31.079 the program. Hi, Dan, Hey, Thanks Dan Patrick. Yeah, it's 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:35.080 gonna be real quick here since season's hot on the trigger. First, 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:39.160 as a fellow basketball ficionado, I can't believe that Joker 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:41.720 is not one of your top three just favorite people 0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:45.720 to watch. And for someone that watches dang near every 0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:49.640 game everywhere, you gotta watch the Nuggets smart because everything does. Dan, 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:52.199 are you listening to the show? I just mentioned that 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:56.199 nobody's mentioning the Joker from VP and he doesn't have 0:11:56.280 --> 0:12:01.560 two of his best players. Well, yeah, but nobody else anyway, 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:04.440 So today has been Well you just said me. I 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:08.080 just told you that his numbers, he's averaging twenty seven 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:15.080 and fourteen rebounds and seven assists. I wouldn't like a retraction. Dan. Well, 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:17.240 I'm just saying you never talk about your one of 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:20.719 your favorites to watch, but numbers aside. Okay, I'll get 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:23.960 to my next twenty. He's not Dan, Dan, Dan, he's 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:27.000 not very exciting to watch. Well, he doesn't know, but 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:30.000 he's a favorite the way he plays the game. Anyway, 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:33.120 he's no thank you to hang up on him, Seaton, 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:38.800 I need come on, Damn. Yeah, all right, okay, this 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:42.360 will be quick. A Colorado native. Colorado native born in 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:45.880 the mountains Denver doesn't get tounted with snow, usually to 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:50.800 March and April, cruising through I seventy in February should 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:53.439 be smooth Salmon. You can get to Junction and then 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:55.360 from there you can either be line to Vegas or 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:57.320 go up to Salt Lake and see your boys at 0:12:57.320 --> 0:13:01.080 Tragger and he could do a meet Friday and send 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:04.000 it to you guys back in the studio. Thank you, Dan. 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:08.760 I just mentioned the Joker deserves to be in the 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:12.360 conversation for MVP, and then I said, but the voters 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:15.760 probably have. They'll look at this and go, oh, we've 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:21.000 already done that. Let's move on and the Joker. Joker's 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:23.480 not exciting to watch. And if I want to watch 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:26.480 the Joker play, I can go to a local why 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:29.400 and you see like a fifty year old guy who's 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:32.160 schooling people because he'll do a pick and roll and 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:34.600 he'll box out and he'll throw a crisp bounds path. 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:42.760 He's great. But Tim Duncan wasn't exciting either. Okay, and 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:45.760 Tim's one of the top ten players of all time. Yeah, 0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:47.600 this is that, like you want him on your team. 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:50.680 I don't want to watch him. No, he's not exciting. 0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:53.599 You know why I love watching the Joker is I 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:57.319 always go how the hell is he getting away with 0:13:57.360 --> 0:14:00.560 all of this? How does it work? He didn't. He 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:04.959 can't jump, he's not fast. He understands the game, Bob 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:09.319 and Montana. Bob, what's on your mind today? And it's 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:13.280 six to five and still a man only two twenty nine. 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:18.600 My question is now that Fritzie is in charge of 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:23.240 the poll questions, and in honor of Carl Weather's seventy 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:25.960 fourth birthday today, my question for Fritzie and all of 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:30.400 America is at their peak, who would win the heavyweight championship? 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:38.200 Clubber Lang or Von Drago? Thank you that old question? Yeah, Todd, 0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:41.080 I'll met you answered if you want to. I'm gonna 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:44.040 go Von Drago. He took those steroids and everything, and 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:47.880 he was punching at a greater rates because whatever he hits, 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:51.160 he destroys. I think one punch from the air from 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:54.240 the Russian club Lang would not get up. But if 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:58.000 he dies, he dies, he dies. Dolph Lunggren actually hurt 0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:02.920 Sylvester Stallone when they he had boxing scenes that he 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:06.800 actually hurt Stallone, that he was that powerful, and you know, 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:12.240 Stallone wanted to give the audience that feeling of getting punched, 0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:15.600 and I think he regretted that. Yeah, Seaton Clever Lang 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:19.440 rocked out knocking two rounds or something like that. Got 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:21.240 you gotta go with Clever He ran out of gas 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:23.800 in the rematch. No, no, Clever Lang is not scaring 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:27.920 Dolph Lundgren Yvon d Girl. No no, because it'd be 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:31.600 like Lennox Lewis against Mike Tyson. They need not concerned. 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:35.080 They're not worried about that Yeampo who's scared Stallone less 0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:39.640 as an actor? Uh, Dolph Lungdren or mister t who 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:42.560 scared him less as like who? When Stone walked onto 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:44.040 the set of Rocky three Rocky for He's like, I'm 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:46.320 I'm out acting these guys. I mean, I'm Brando and 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:49.640 I walk on this. Okay? Cool? You should never came back. 0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:58.360 I must break you. I defeat all Man Seaton, hang 0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:04.640 up on Fritzie. Wow. Make sure Brian Greasy set to 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:08.280 join us next. All right, I can do that.

He'll be 0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:52.240 on the call with Lewis Riddick and Steve Levy Monday 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:56.440 Night Playoff Football. It'll be the Cardinals and the Rams. Brian, 0:17:56.520 --> 0:18:00.159 good to have you back. Biggest question mark you have 0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:04.920 going into this Cardinals Rams game is what Yeah, it 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:07.919 is the will the Cardinals day be able to handle 0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:11.000 Aaron Donald. They were not able to handle him in 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:13.800 the second meeting and it was a big reason why 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:17.680 Kyler Murray felt a lot of pressure and had two 0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:20.119 interceptions in that game. And that was the difference in 0:18:20.160 --> 0:18:24.359 the game. They were driving early, they had a tip 0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:27.800 from Aaron Donald intercepted by ERNs Jones, no points and 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:29.600 the Rams go right down to score. And then to 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:32.800 start the second half they had a great play from 0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:37.679 Leonard Floyd tipped interception and that pressure on Kyler Murray 0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:40.360 on the field I think impacted him. Now, you could 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:42.720 also wonder and the question is about the pressure on 0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:46.320 Kyler Murray off the field, first playoff game in his career. 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:50.240 There's been a lot of time, energy, and effort put 0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:52.760 into building this team by Steve Kim and they're finally 0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:54.919 in this position. It's not where they wanted to be 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:58.400 as a wildcard team. I remember about a month ago 0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:01.280 this was the number one seed in the nfcuh and 0:19:01.320 --> 0:19:03.680 they're kind of limping in losers of four or five? 0:19:04.280 --> 0:19:07.480 So how will they respond to the big moment? Also 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:09.960 as a question for me, but when you have pressure 0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:13.800 up the middle and you're Kyler Murray, how different is 0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:18.639 that pressure up the middle and you're Tom Brady. Well, 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:21.600 I think the the the approach for Raheem Morris, the 0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:25.000 defensive coordinator for the Rams, number one is to try 0:19:25.040 --> 0:19:27.760 to keep Kyler Murray in the pocket. Um. So it's 0:19:27.880 --> 0:19:30.080 very I mean, it's completely different than Tom Brady. Tom's 0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:33.080 gonna be in there, you know where he's gonna be. Um, 0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:35.800 Kyler Murray. You know, job number one is keeping him 0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:37.960 in the pocket because he is dangerous and he will 0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:41.000 beat you outside the pocket. They were they had mixed 0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:45.120 results with that this year. Um, but when he gets 0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:47.920 outside the pocket. He can hurt with his legs more 0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:50.600 than anybody in the league. And uh and so when 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:52.880 I think the Rams half with von Miller and Leonard 0:19:52.880 --> 0:19:56.160 Floyd up up on the on the edges, is good 0:19:56.280 --> 0:19:58.919 enough to contain him. And then you add in Aaron 0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:01.520 Donald on the end inside. That's what's unique about the 0:20:01.600 --> 0:20:04.320 Rams pass rush and that's why they were successful in 0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:07.880 the second meeting. How would you grade Matthew Stafford's first 0:20:07.920 --> 0:20:14.440 season in LA I right, as of right now, I'd 0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:18.400 say it's about a B. And listen, this team won 0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:20.919 the NFC West. Nobody's given them that kind of credit. 0:20:21.160 --> 0:20:25.320 They won twelve games. Really, his grade will be dependent 0:20:25.400 --> 0:20:27.720 upon what happens in the next month. Didn't they have 0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:31.959 a B quarterback already, Brian Noah, I wouldn't say that. 0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:34.160 I would say they had a B minus C plus 0:20:34.240 --> 0:20:38.560 quarterback in Jared Goff. So I think there's no doubt 0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:41.920 they have upgraded the position. And Matthew Stafford has made 0:20:41.960 --> 0:20:45.800 some unbelievable plays and won them games. Dan now, he's 0:20:45.880 --> 0:20:49.040 also been careless with the ball, and he's tried to 0:20:49.080 --> 0:20:53.200 make plays when they weren't there. And so as they 0:20:53.240 --> 0:20:55.480 get into the playoffs. They need to take a little 0:20:55.480 --> 0:20:59.399 bit off of Matthew Stafford's play. Run the football and 0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:01.280 then when the there to be made, we know that 0:21:01.320 --> 0:21:03.840 he has the ability to make. Yeah. I wondered if 0:21:03.880 --> 0:21:08.080 Matthew Stafford was trying on almost every play. I want 0:21:08.119 --> 0:21:11.280 to prove to everybody it was Detroit that was the problem, 0:21:11.359 --> 0:21:13.800 not me. I was there, didn't win a playoff game 0:21:13.840 --> 0:21:16.280 twelve years. Hey, let me get on a winning team 0:21:16.280 --> 0:21:19.240 and I'm gonna show you. And maybe he got out 0:21:19.240 --> 0:21:22.199 of his comfort zone a little bit. And you know, 0:21:22.520 --> 0:21:25.000 but you have four pick six How do you explain 0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:28.679 that seventeen interceptions four of those were pick sixes? Is 0:21:28.680 --> 0:21:32.840 that just you know, by luck, by chance? No. I 0:21:32.840 --> 0:21:34.760 think it's a quarterback trying to do too much. I 0:21:34.760 --> 0:21:37.719 think you're right, you know. I think this is a 0:21:37.720 --> 0:21:40.760 team that not only do they feel like they have 0:21:40.800 --> 0:21:43.679 to win, but dangerous for them, they feel like they 0:21:43.720 --> 0:21:47.080 have to win with style. And that's not Listen, we're 0:21:47.119 --> 0:21:49.399 not talking about the San Francisco forty nine ers like that. 0:21:49.440 --> 0:21:51.639 They don't care how they win. They just want to 0:21:51.640 --> 0:21:53.840 go out and win. But the Rams being in La 0:21:54.320 --> 0:21:57.560 got a lot of bright, shiny toys and the first 0:21:57.560 --> 0:22:00.359 half of the season couldn't have gone any better. In 0:22:00.359 --> 0:22:03.440 the marriage between Sean McVay and Matthew Stafford, you got 0:22:03.440 --> 0:22:05.800 the best receiver in the league in Cooper Cup. I 0:22:05.840 --> 0:22:08.879 got Oldell out there. And you want to have some style, 0:22:09.040 --> 0:22:11.240 you want to have to zazz and I think that 0:22:11.320 --> 0:22:14.920 Matthew Stafford, from time to time, call it five to six, 0:22:15.040 --> 0:22:18.200 seven plays a game, will force the issue. And that's 0:22:18.200 --> 0:22:20.240 where he's got into trouble. And I don't think that 0:22:20.320 --> 0:22:23.080 he needs to do that for them to win. Pro 0:22:23.160 --> 0:22:27.280 Football Focus released its ranking top ten NFL players to 0:22:27.359 --> 0:22:31.639 start a franchise, with twenty twenty two number one on 0:22:31.680 --> 0:22:37.480 the list. Patrick Mahomes number two on the list. Who 0:22:37.480 --> 0:22:41.480 would you pick start your franchise with in twenty twenty two? 0:22:42.960 --> 0:22:44.680 You know, if you heard, if you heard, pressed to 0:22:45.760 --> 0:22:49.000 pass up Josh Allen or Joe Burrow. Joe, those are 0:22:49.000 --> 0:22:52.160 two of the Joe Burrows top quarterbacks. Joe Burrows two. 0:22:52.840 --> 0:22:54.920 Those are two of the top quarterbacks in my opinion 0:22:55.200 --> 0:22:59.679 young quarterbacks in the league. Justin Herbert is three, Josh 0:22:59.680 --> 0:23:04.800 Allen four. Great argument for Justin as well. You know, 0:23:05.000 --> 0:23:08.200 any one of those three in my opinion you could 0:23:08.200 --> 0:23:11.840 build around. Listen, I'm excited to watch now. We're gonna 0:23:11.840 --> 0:23:13.840 find out about Josh Allen and Joe Burrow here in 0:23:13.840 --> 0:23:15.639 the next the next week and a half, two weeks. 0:23:16.680 --> 0:23:19.240
