WEBVTT - Hour 1 - (07-16-20 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.480 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:06.920 Sports Radio. Welcome to the program. It's our one on 0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:10.760 this Thursday, Dan and the Danet's Stan Patrick Show. Morale 0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:14.760 is high except for one part of the man cave 0:00:15.040 --> 0:00:19.480 back where mclovin sits. You've got a serious look on 0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:23.840 your face after the display that Ethan, our stats guy, 0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:27.479 put on yesterday. Are you okay? Yeah? I'm a little 0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:30.320 rattled by Ethan and Firtill. He's not from Philadelphia, can 0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:33.519 we He's from Willington, Delaware, which is a suburb of Philadelia, 0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:38.400 Philadelphia proper. Yeah, it's Eagles country. Yeah, it's definitely an 0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:40.760 issue here. Like I'm looking at him. I'm gonna send 0:00:40.800 --> 0:00:44.760 you some stats, a man. Are you're officially from Philadelphia 0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:49.880 from the suburbs? Yeah? Yeah, well I guess so. I 0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:54.040 don't think that's an interesting question. Are you officially from Cincinnati? Well? 0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:56.560 I have to say that because people don't know where Mason, 0:00:56.600 --> 0:00:59.960 Ohio is. So when I say that, I'll be Cincinnati 0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:04.480 since night proper. But I'm not in a feud with anybody. 0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:07.880 I'm not in a rivalry with anybody right now. Where 0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:09.840 does Ethan sand on all this like I couldn't tell. 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:12.800 Ethan just does his job. He just sends stats in 0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:15.959 Sometimes most of the time, I don't even have to 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:18.760 say anything to him, just say something on the air 0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:21.040 and he sends it to me. Is there any point 0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:22.880 where they're gonna be just too many stats that you're 0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:25.319 gonna be overwhelmed with this? Are you cool? I would 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:27.920 like to be drunk with stats. I would like to 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:30.759 hasn't happened? And how many years have we been doing 0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:34.919 this together? A lot? Yeah? Well, now you have accurate stats. 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:38.399 Due true, You're right, I've been drunk with stats, just 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:41.200 not accurate ones. All right, welcome to the program, already 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:43.880 in progress, as you can tell. Glad to have you 0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:46.080 part of the program in whatever way you might be 0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:49.720 listening or watching. New T shirts came in. The Cam 0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:52.760 Newton t shirts came in.

He'll join us a little bit later on 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:09.160 Chris Haynes our favorite from Yahoo sports covering the NBA 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:12.440 from the bubble. We'll join us as well. Eight seven 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:15.240 seven three D P show email address DP at dan 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:18.560 Patrick dot com. Oh Ethan sending me some stats here 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.480 and I haven't even asked for them yet. I'll get 0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:24.480 to those coming up. There are certain sports arguments that 0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:28.280 just don't go away for serious NFL fans. One of 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:31.720 the bigger ones is should you pay a running back? 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:34.920 How much should you pay an elite running back? The 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:38.520 Titans signed Derrick Henry yesterday four year, fifty million dollar deal. 0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:41.560 He was great last season, led the Titans to the 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:45.519 AFC Title Game. But the argument goes, by the time 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:47.960 you pay a running back, they're usually on the downside. 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:50.560 This has always been my philosophy. If I'm going to 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:53.400 draft somebody, they're twenty two years of age and I'm 0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:55.480 going to use a first round pick, I'm using you 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:58.120 up for five years, and then by the time you're 0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:01.480 turning twenty seven. By the time turning twenty eight, I'm 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:04.320 already thinking about your replacement. And you're finding a lot 0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:08.280 of these rosters have dual threats. Remember what the Saints 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:12.240 had with Alvin Kamara, And you know that you're able 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:14.600 to have mark ingram in there. So you have this 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:19.480 one two punch inside outside. You know, that's how Derrick 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:24.480 Henry started. Where you have inside outside. But you know, 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:26.320 you start to look around the league. Look at the 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:29.919 Cleveland Browns. Cleveland Browns got Kareem Hunt and they got 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:35.600 Nick Chubb. That's pretty impressive. Look what the Colts did 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:37.720 in the draft. They have Marlon Mack. They went out 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:41.200 and got Jonathan Taylor, two thousand yard Russia out of Wisconsin. 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:45.040 This is the trend that you have. So how much 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:49.840 do you spend? Christian McCaffrey, Levyon Bell, David Johnson, Ezekiel Elliott. 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:53.920 Those are the top five guys salary wise, and Henry 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:58.200 currently ranks fifth in yearly average salary for running backs guys, 0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:02.800 ahead of Amara, McCaffrey, Bell, john and Zeke Elliott. Henry 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:07.560 just turned twenty six. Titans are built to succeed with 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:10.440 Derrick Henry as their star. Now you might look at 0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:13.000 this and go, he didn't. He was a starter at 0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:16.320 Alabama one year and then he came into the NFL 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:19.640 and he didn't get a ton of carries. Now he 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:22.720 did get a ton of carries last year, a ton 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:25.680 of carries that style. Now, if you said he was 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:29.080 a three year starter at Alabama and was carrying two 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:31.760 hundred and fifty times the first couple of years in 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:35.520 the NFL, I would shy away from that. But can 0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:39.920 I get at least three more quality years out of him? 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:43.120 And if you can, and you were that close to 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:46.520 the Super Bowl, going to the FC title game, you're 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:50.640 banking on Mike Vrabel having another quality team, quality season 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:54.200 this year. But should you pay running backs? As a 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:56.800 close cousin of the system quarterback debate? The kind of 0:04:56.880 --> 0:05:00.680 discussion that raises interesting football questions but kind of makes 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:04.040 you it sound like a nerd. But Derrick Henry seems 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:07.400 like he's happy and Tennessee should be happy as well. 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:09.560 It feels like one of those deals where you go, 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:12.680 and we always look at deals and go, oh, he 0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:17.960 got less than he didn't set a record for running backs. Oh, 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:20.880 you know that was a failed negotiation. And I looked 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:23.200 at it differently. I think you got to look at 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:25.599 a couple of things here. You got to look at 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:28.680 COVID now, what is happening here with the NFL, the 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:32.520 uncertainty with the NFL and the salary cap in twenty 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:37.680 twenty one, it might go twenty to thirty million dollars less. 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:41.440 And you had a source tell this to Yahoo Sports. 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:45.000 The salary cap may drop twenty to thirty million dollars. 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:50.520 I don't know if that's why Patrick Mahomes signed. We'll 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:53.080 get to Dak Prescott in a moment. But if you 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:55.599 start to look at the free agency class of twenty 0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:58.880 twenty one, so he's gonna if they tagged him and 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:01.840 he didn't sign the long term deal. Now he's competing 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:07.159 against Joe Mixon in Cincinnati, Alvin Kamara, Aaron Jones Green Bay, 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:12.880 Dalvin Cook, James Connor, Philip Lindsay in Denver. I think 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:17.599 getting the guaranteed money, he likes it. There. They feature him, 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:21.800 and when you talk about guys who break big, big runs, 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:25.320 it's the biggest running back in the NFL. Derrick Henry 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:28.160 has more fifty yard runs than any other running back. 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:32.480 I think it's a great deal for Derrick Henry. He's 0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:36.280 comfortable with it. He got guaranteed money, the uncertainty of 0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:40.080 the next season, and Tennessee has their guy that they 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:42.880 can hand the ball to twenty five times. I saw 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:46.520 where Pro Football Focus had a stat Actually it's a 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:51.560 list of the most elusive running backs in the NFL. 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:54.640 Nick Chubb, I think Nick chubbs, you know, on the 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:58.760 short list of most underrated players in the game. But 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:01.320 you know when he and Sony Michelle we're sharing time 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:03.680 in college and now he's sharing time with Kareem Hunt. 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:07.280 I think Nick Chubb is great, not good. I think 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:11.120 he's great. Josh Jacobs out of Alabama with the Raiders 0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:14.360 is ranked second. Derek Hennery is third on that list. 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:19.480 Alvin Kamara is a fourth, Dalvin Cooked fifth, Austin Eckler 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:23.880 with the Chargers is sixth, se Quon Barkley seventh, Chris 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:27.080 Carson with the Seahawks is eight. This according to a 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:31.240 Pro Football Focus. Devin single Terry, who I love with 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:34.200 the Bills. I don't know how good he is, but 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:38.480 that dude never stops ever. Aaron Jones with the Packers 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:44.040 had an unbelievable season last year. James Conner featured back there. 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:49.000 So Christian McCaffrey is thirteenth on this list. If I said, 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:51.800 you can get these running backs for the same price, 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:56.200 and maybe you take Christian McCaffrey out of it, because 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:59.520 he did have great numbers, although I don't know if 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:02.240 those a number does really mean anything at the position. 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:04.400 Like you want somebody who's going to be on the 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:08.640 field and producing, but what are you really producing with 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:12.800 the Carolina Panthers. You know, McCaffrey's an anomaly in a 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:18.120 variety of ways. But is he Let's say you could 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:22.240 get McCaffrey or Derrick Henry for the same price, you're 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:25.240 still going to take Christian McCaffrey. Probably so, and maybe 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:27.200 I take him out. What about if I say sae 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:30.920 Quon Barkley or Derek Derrick Henry, who are you taking? 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:34.760 I'm guessing people would probably look at sa Quon Barkley 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:37.760 because of his ability to uh, you know, catch balls 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:39.920 out of the backfield. I don't have many catches Derrick 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:42.400 Henry had last year. I don't know if they're trying 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:44.040 to make him a little bit more of a dual 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:46.360 threat there, McLevin, if you could check that, or maybe 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:51.680 Ethan can eighteen receptions last year? Okay, by way, wow, 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:53.800 so side, I'm look at his hats. Derek Kenny has 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:56.199 way more carries in his career than McCaffrey already, unless 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:59.440 I have McCaffrey, because McCaffrey has like those dual touches. 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:02.560 He has a million touches, but they're split evenly between 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:04.600 receiving and running. Yeah, but look at the carries he 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:07.920 had in college. That's true. Yeah, good Chrisian McCaffrey had 0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:10.360 a ton of carries. All these guys everyone you just 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:12.240 met said so much wear and tear already. I don't 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:14.480 want to pay any of them. Well, that goes back 0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:16.840 to Zeke Elliott. Like, I didn't understand that at all, 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:20.319 unless Jerry thought, you know what, he's playing great and 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:23.760 then they overpaid him. He had his holdout and I 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:26.280 just don't know. I think you've seen the best of 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:28.959 Zeke Elliott, and granted you got to see a lot 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:31.320 of greatness out of Zeke Elliott. I just don't know. 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:35.880 It's now a quarterback league and you've turned it over. 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:39.640 It feels like, well sort of, to Dak Prescott, there 0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:43.320 were late night negotiat or late afternoon negotiations because the 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:47.599 deadline was for Eastern yesterday, and Jane Slater, who was 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:51.120 with US yesterday on loan from the NFL Network, covers 0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:56.360 the Cowboys said they tried to get something done. I 0:09:56.400 --> 0:10:01.160 don't understand that you don't talk from and then you're 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:04.959 gonna hurry up right at the deadline. This should have 0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:08.040 been done. I had a great source who told me 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:11.440 when Zeke was getting his deal done, Dak was gonna 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:14.840 get his deal done in late August going into I 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:20.240 think the first regular season game, said get ready, Dak's 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:24.079 going to sign as well. And then all of a 0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:29.000 sudden we stretched it out. The most talked about story 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:34.000 in NFL history and it continues and it'll continue this 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:38.280 entire season. Did the Cowboys make the right decision? Did 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:42.160 they really want Dak Prescott? Dak's betting on himself again? 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:46.280 Did Dak ask for more money than he deserved? You 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:50.680 could have signed Dak Prescott for the same money, I'm 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:55.600 told as Russell Wilson. And what did Rusk get for 0:10:55.600 --> 0:11:00.840 for one forty Is it something like that? You could 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:04.680 have gotten Dak Prescott for that, And now what's he 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:10.040 going to cost you? And I mean, Jerry knows that 0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:12.520 you know I built this team. We can win now. 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:14.360 I gotta win now. I want one more super Bowl. 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:15.800 I want to prove that I can win a Super 0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:21.080 Bowl again. And you could have signed Dak Prescott and 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:24.040 been done with this and got a bargain, and now 0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:26.800 here you go, and now you have an offense where 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:29.520 you use your first round pick on Ceedee Lamb. You're 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:33.559 throwing the football this year. He's gonna put up big 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:38.360 numbers again, but you tag him again one more time, 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:40.760 which is what I thought. That's what I would have 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:42.800 done in the first place. If I'm not sure on 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:46.360 Dak Prescott, then i would have tagged him. I'll tag 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:50.079 him again next year. But I got the feeling that 0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:54.600 Cowboys weren't completely sold on Dak Prescott. They wanted to 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:58.280 see another season. They saw the season Dak bett on himself, 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:01.680 and the Cowboys now have to pay the bill. Yeah, 0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:04.400 Pauling any chance of Cowboys are being really smart here. 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:08.160 They're basically renting Dak Prescott and giving it one more Lookxie. 0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:11.079 And also with the salary cap coming up, when it 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:13.120 comes time to be in this position next year, the 0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:14.719 cap could be less and they could be in a 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:17.719 position where they can get him for less. I think 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:22.400 it's a distinct possibility, but I think if that happens, 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:26.240 they accidentally fell into that because they weren't banking on 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:29.959 a COVID nineteen pandemic, that's going to reduce the salary 0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:32.880 camp by twenty to thirty million dollars. And you're going 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:35.599 to have a guy who you bring in, Mike McCarthy. 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:39.960 And unless Mike McCarthy is not sold on Dak Prescott, 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:43.800 Like privately, I don't know, but I would think you're 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:46.280 taking the job and the first thing you ask is 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:50.720 who's my quarterback? That's what coaches do. Who's the quarterback? 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:53.760 Does the owner love that quarter like Ron Rivera goes 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:57.240 to Washington. Daniel Snyder is the one who said we're 0:12:57.320 --> 0:13:01.079 drafting Dwayne Haskins, so you know you have that quarterback 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:05.280 for a couple of years. You know, if you go 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:09.559 into the Cleveland Browns situation, Kevin Stefanski, Okay, who's my quarterback? Well, 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:14.000 the owner wanted Baker Mayfield, so you know he's there 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:17.479 for a little while. This is what happens. Who's my quarterback? 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:21.680 And can I succeed with him? But the Dak Prescott 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:27.520 situation I just think handled poorly by Jerry Jones and 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:30.560 Dak Do I think he overplayed his hand a little bit? Yeah, 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:35.480 probably because I think he's an average quarterback from the 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:40.280 standpoint of he can be great and he can be very, 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:43.719 very suspect. And if you average it out, you're an 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:47.439 eight and eight team, that probably makes your quarterback average 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:50.560 as well. And I can't have the highs and lows there. 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:53.480 As much as I like Dak Prescott would love if 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:57.200 he was the quarterback for my team, I don't. I 0:13:57.240 --> 0:14:01.280 can't have the fluctuation of good Dak bad Dak, and 0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:04.400 that would that would concern me long term. And maybe 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:07.320 the Cowboys are doing another drive by with it. Hey, 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:10.400 let's just see how he does again, bets on himself. 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:13.560 We can always tag him again, just like Washington did 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:17.680 with Kirk d Cousins. But I think it's a missed 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:22.440 opportunity for both sides. Maybe it's strategic with the Cowboys, 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:27.840 and maybe it's strategic with Dak Prescott. Dak Prescott needs 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:31.400 the Cowboys too. The Cowboys certainly need Dak Prescott now, 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:34.760 but Dak Prescott needs the Cowboys. It's an offense. You're 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:38.200 the quarterback of America's team. You're gonna get indorsement, You're 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:42.080 gonna get ten million dollars in endorsements probably each year 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:47.880 by being the Cowboys starting quarterback. And you have to 0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:50.560 add that value into this because if he goes to 0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:57.960 another team, you never have this marketing ability when you're 0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:01.080 when you're the quarter When you think of Boys quarterbacks, 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:08.240 Danny White, we still remember you got Romo for nothing. 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:11.880 Troy Aikman. Troy Aikman can live off being a former 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:15.440 Cowboy quarterback the rest of his life. Roger Staubach, even 0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:20.320 Craig Morton, Don Meredith, we know who the cowboy quarterbacks are. 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:25.720 Babe Loffenberg, Yeah, Polly. Tony Romo got a huge broadcasting 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:28.680 job as his first job out without a Super Bowl ring. 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:30.840 You know this industry, a super Bowl ring kind of 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:34.240 buys you an audition at ESPN or CBS, Fox, etc. 0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:37.080 But if you don't have one, like Rodney Harrison. Rodney 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:39.480 Harris is a very good player. Having a ring sure 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:42.240 helps him get a look. See by NBC and look 0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:46.560 at Tony Romo, very good quarterback. But he's not Dan Marino. Oh, 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:49.480 if Rodney doesn't have super Bowls, Rodney's not doing Football 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:52.640 Night in America. I mean that helps open the door 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:55.600 because now when you speak, you can speak from authority 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:59.280 of hey played in a Super Bowl, Hey one Super bowls, 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:02.080 Hey I was part of this team, this dynasty, this franchise, 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:05.800 that defense. Uh but yeah, you're right, all right, we'll 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:08.320 come up with the poll question, right McLevin? Or should 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:12.640 I ask you? If you should definitely ask yeah, because 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:15.080 I have all these running back questions. You know you 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:18.680 you were you kind of ruined my Alvin Kamara party 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:20.080 because I thought he was gonna be the next guy 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:21.560 to get paid. That I looked up as numbers. They 0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:23.640 definitely went down last Yeah, I said that too. You 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:27.320 than I thought when he was with mark Ingram that 0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:30.840 they got a lot of attention because they had, you know, 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:33.240 kind of this power back and then you had the 0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:37.280 elusive back. I don't know if he gets enough touches. Well, 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:39.720 he heard his knee last year, which is another issue, 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:42.280 like why you need the two guys because some guys, 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:43.920 if you get more wear and tear, are just gonna 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:49.640 break down. Ethan just sent me a number. Um Derrick 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:52.880 Henry is the first player in NFL history. Actually, I 0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:56.320 should tease this because you know something special that Ethan 0:16:56.400 --> 0:17:01.960 came up with. That good. Yeah, it's stat good. Yeah, yeah, 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:06.800 the new segment Stat good. Ethan is stat good. We're 0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:09.760 gonna take a break we'll come back.

Thanks to Ethan, 0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:23.760 our new stats guy, Derrick Henry is the first player 0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:26.680 in NFL history to rush for at least four hundred 0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:30.120 yards as a rookie and then increase that number by 0:19:30.160 --> 0:19:34.480 at least forty percent in each of the next three seasons. 0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:39.439 He had four ninety as a rookie, seven hundred and 0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:43.280 forty four is second year one thousand and fifty nine 0:19:43.320 --> 0:19:46.440 in twenty eighteen, and last year rush for fifteen forty. 0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:49.720 This might be one of those deals that we always 0:19:49.720 --> 0:19:53.240 want to win ern a loser, who won, who lost. 0:19:53.920 --> 0:19:56.959 We're doing that with Dak Prescott, with Derrick Henry. I 0:19:57.000 --> 0:19:59.679 think both sides won. I think both sides got what 0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:02.840 they wanted. You got that running back you can count on. 0:20:03.200 --> 0:20:05.439 I think they would like to expand the number of 0:20:05.520 --> 0:20:08.840 touches so it's not just him powering ahead, you know, 0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:11.960 going into these defense because those running backs don't last. 0:20:13.280 --> 0:20:16.080 Eddie George was like that. Earl Campbell was like that, 0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:20.200 when you go straight. Brandon Jacobs played for the Giants. 0:20:20.600 --> 0:20:22.800 That's one of the biggest running backs. It might be 0:20:22.840 --> 0:20:26.560 the biggest running back I ever saw. We met him 0:20:26.800 --> 0:20:29.800 at a Super Bowl and we all walked away going 0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:35.480 and he's a running back. Brandon Jacobs was the same 0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:38.760 size as Michael Strahan, and that's no exaggeration. He might 0:20:38.760 --> 0:20:42.600 have been bigger than Michael Strahan inch shorter, but he 0:20:42.680 --> 0:20:46.680 was bigger. And then he ran a certain way, and 0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:50.280 then he got paid and then he ran differently. Then 0:20:50.400 --> 0:20:52.760 all of a sudden, you start protecting. You know, players 0:20:52.760 --> 0:20:55.119 will talk about and you run to get the contract, 0:20:55.320 --> 0:20:57.920 and then you run differently after you've gotten the contract. 0:20:58.680 --> 0:21:01.159 I hope that doesn't happen with Derrick Enring because I 0:21:01.200 --> 0:21:04.560 love watching him play. I like when guys give the 0:21:04.560 --> 0:21:07.840 impression they want to tackle him, but they really don't 0:21:08.440 --> 0:21:11.800 because you go, oh, this is gonna hurt. I remember 0:21:11.840 --> 0:21:15.800 defensive backs, defensive players doing that with Adrian Peterson. They 0:21:15.840 --> 0:21:18.760 didn't really want to tackle him, but she sort of 0:21:18.840 --> 0:21:23.200 had to at least try. And Derrick Henry he puts, 0:21:23.400 --> 0:21:25.119 he puts the fear of God, I think in some 0:21:25.200 --> 0:21:28.280 of those defensive players. And he's an elusive back, which 0:21:28.320 --> 0:21:31.760 you don't think of a powerback being. And I'm happy 0:21:31.760 --> 0:21:33.720 for him when we saw him at the super Bowl. 0:21:34.160 --> 0:21:37.320 You know, a wonderful kid. I really enjoyed talking to him. 0:21:37.440 --> 0:21:40.320 Good sense of humor, and I hope you know he 0:21:40.320 --> 0:21:43.159 gets that opportunity to continue doing what he's doing, what 0:21:43.240 --> 0:21:45.920 he did the last two years with Tennessee. Yes, PAULI, 0:21:46.040 --> 0:21:48.280 if you look at Derrick Henry's strategy, he basically got 0:21:48.280 --> 0:21:51.000 twenty five million over the next three years guaranteed. He 0:21:51.040 --> 0:21:53.480 cannot not get it. Yeah, if you go back to 0:21:53.560 --> 0:21:57.240 Levon Bell, he skipped a season, lost sixteen million dollars. 0:21:57.520 --> 0:21:59.800 He made it up by getting a two year basically 0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:02.800 a guarantee contract of twenty seven million front of Jets. 0:22:02.800 --> 0:22:04.840 But that was the only team. The Jets kind of 0:22:04.840 --> 0:22:07.640 bailed him out. Otherwise his strategy was not going to work. 0:22:07.640 --> 0:22:09.960 He was well, we factor in the third year, the 0:22:10.040 --> 0:22:12.199 year that he sat out. So over the course of 0:22:12.280 --> 0:22:15.040 three years, Levion Bell will make twenty seven million dollars 0:22:15.119 --> 0:22:17.800 including the season he sat out, Yeah, which is two 0:22:17.840 --> 0:22:21.520 million more than Derrick Henry's gonna make. Derrick Henry didn't 0:22:21.520 --> 0:22:23.920 threaten to sit out. Melvin Gordon threatened to sit out 0:22:23.960 --> 0:22:26.920 and did, and he's gonna make thirteen million dollars over 0:22:27.000 --> 0:22:29.280 that three year period. I remember them when he sat out, 0:22:29.440 --> 0:22:31.639 I said, this isn't gonna work out well. With the Chargers, 0:22:31.720 --> 0:22:35.119 he got paid, Okay, Yeah, but he made a mistake. 0:22:35.200 --> 0:22:38.440 Yeah he did, and now he's with Denver and they 0:22:38.560 --> 0:22:41.280 already have a running back, Philip Lindsay. So you're sharing 0:22:41.359 --> 0:22:44.280 time there, Jeff and Saint Louis joins us. Hey, Jeff, 0:22:44.320 --> 0:22:48.240 what's on your mind today? Good morning? Then good morning? 0:22:50.000 --> 0:22:53.040 I'd get it. Jerry Jones is at the billion Era. 0:22:53.520 --> 0:22:57.680 But you guys, you're not adding Mike on Why didn't 0:22:57.720 --> 0:22:59.920
