More phone calls coming up. 0:00:08.920 --> 0:00:12.040 Our poll question the NFL team that feels the most 0:00:12.080 --> 0:00:15.840 hopeless right now? McLevin just put that one up. We'll 0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:18.640 talk to Kirk d Cousins. He will join us first 0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:21.520 time and ten career Monday Night starts. Got to win 0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:25.360 the Vikings over the Bears last night eight seven seven 0:00:25.400 --> 0:00:27.760 three D P show Email address DP at Dan Patrick 0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:30.840 dot com. So Chris Paul traded to the Sons. The 0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:34.000 Milwaukee Bucks have gone out and gotten some help for 0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:38.400 Jannis and James Harden still trying to get out of Houston. 0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:40.640 I'm not sure that he'll be able to do it 0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:43.720 anytime soon. And Russell Westbrook as well, is he going 0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:45.760 to be able to get out? There was a published 0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:49.560 report that Michael Jordan was interested in Russell Westbrook basically 0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:51.640 just to give them a face for the franchise so 0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:54.880 people would come out and watch Russell Westbrook and the Hornets. 0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:57.040 But I don't know if there's any traction on that. 0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:00.600 Eight seven seven three D P show Email up at 0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:04.560 Dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle the DP Show.

You have to pick it 0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:12.880 up by December eighteenth for us to send it out 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:15.679 and for you to get it for the holidays.

The aforementioned 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:22.760 Kirk d Cousins, the Vikings quarterback last night through for 0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:26.360 two hundred ninety two yards, two touchdowns, one interception. By 0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:30.040 the way, that that interception should not count, Kirk, because 0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:32.399 that's not your fault. We want to come up with 0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:35.959 a new stat, okay, and Paula, you want to give 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:38.959 Kirk the stat? Yeah, a new stat to protect quarterbacks. 0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:43.840 It's called RCI Receiver complete you know, cause the interception RCI. 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:47.080 What do you think RCI? And because that's not your 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:50.440 fault for that interception, yeah, you know. You just hope 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:52.880 that people have a trained eye and understand that as 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:55.840 they evaluate, and usually the people inside the league do, 0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:58.600 but outside the league not so much. But that's okay. 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:01.400 Will you endorse our sei if we come up with 0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:06.160 a new stat for quarterbacks receiver caused interception. I will 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:10.239 throw my full weight backing behind it. Yeah. What time 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:12.600 did you get home last night? I got to my 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:15.799 house at three am, and I probably fell asleep about 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:19.079 three fifteen three thirty. Have you seen the kids central time? 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:22.119 Have you seen the kids this morning? Uh? No, they 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:25.919 headed off to run some errands with with mom, and 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:28.880 uh I slept in until about an hour ago and 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:32.280 then got up and wanted to join you. Well, what happens, 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:35.480 you know, when do you get interrogated by the family 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:40.120 on after a game? Uh, that's a good question. You know, 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:42.720 a lot of text messages last night late. I try 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:45.520 to respond to as many as I can, and then, uh, 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:48.120 you know, my wife when I get home, she wakes 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:50.960 up and she wants to talk about the game, and then, uh, 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:53.560 you know, I'll probably get a few today, but uh, yeah, 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:57.079 the interrogation usually happens right away. How do you explain 0:02:57.120 --> 0:02:59.000 this that you don't win on Monday night? You haven't 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:01.960 won on Monday night? You know, it is it is 0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:04.800 statistically just a kind of a unique thing because you 0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:07.640 look back and you know, I've played well in a 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:11.440 lot of those games, but you know, for whatever reason, 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:13.839 we just didn't get to win in nine of them, 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:17.000 nine straight. So great to get to win last night, 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:18.760 But you know, the nature of Monday night football and 0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:20.799 a lot of primetime games as you're playing really good 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:22.760 football teams. You know, a few of those years we 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:24.680 were playing teams that either ended up in the Super 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:27.919 Bowl or won the Super Bowl. So you know, going 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:30.200 into those games, it's not like we were favored to 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:33.680 win or winning a blowout, and so it was just 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:35.720 good to get that one last night for sure. What 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:38.880 is the development with Dalvin Cook that he's sort of 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:42.640 taken that next step into greatness not a good running back, 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:45.560 a great running back. Well, I think, first of all, 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:47.560 he's got a lot of ability. I mean, he back 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:50.040 in twenty seventeen as a rookie before he tore his knee, 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:52.040 he was having an outstanding year and got off to 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:54.840 a great start in eighteen, my first year with the Vikings, 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:57.640 I think he missed like ten games, and for the 0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:00.720 sixth that he was healthy, he was really special. And then, uh, 0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:02.920 you know last year, you know, because he stayed healthy 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:05.520 all year, was finally recognized as an All Pro player. 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:08.440 Um this year, just the same way. I think, you know, 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:11.560 Rick Dennison, our old line coach, Gary Kubiaker offensive coordinator. 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:13.560 I think they're doing a really good job. You know, 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:15.760 with with how they designed the run game week in 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:18.560 and week out to give him a great opportunity if 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:21.359 you can invest in they were stocks, Dalvin Cook or 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:25.120 Justin Jefferson. Which stock would you invest in? Which one's 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:30.080 a little cheaper stock right now? He is? Justin might 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:32.440 be a penny stock that you can invest in right now. 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:37.279 Dalvin's you know, he's like Apple or Google. Now Justin's 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:39.960 the real deal as well. Um, you know, it's so 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:42.280 great when you draft a first round pick, when you 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:44.240 hit on it, you know, you never know, you know, 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:46.159 you go through the league now nine years you know 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:48.440 that after the draft you're kind of still suspicious of 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:50.719 your first second, third round pick. You say, let's just 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:52.960 get to OTAs, let's actually see him, Let's see him 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:55.520 in real ball in preseason games, and then we'll decide, 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:58.240 you know, if, if, if they're worthy of that status. 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:01.240 And Justin h you know, certainly has shown he was 0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:02.919 worthy of that first round pick. And it makes a 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:05.240 big difference for our offense. Well, why is it tougher 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:08.600 for receivers? It feels like to be able to for 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:11.680 them to establish themselves where they can wash out. I 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:14.240 mean it's it's usually one or the other. But what 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:18.000 is it about that position in the NFL. Yeah, it's 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:20.359 tricky to put your finger on because you you evaluate 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:22.760 the college tape and you know, you feel like you 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:25.520 got the guy, and then you still don't quite know. Um. 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.320 I think in the NFL there's so much more man coverage. 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:31.800 The defensive backs really, you know, are really clued in too, 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:34.599 covering you like a glove. And uh, you know, in 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.040 college you may play a lot of zone and you know, 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:39.000 until you get the NFL, it's hard to know if 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.960 you can really defeat man coverage time and again. But 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:45.039 you know, Justin's just a natural receiver tracking the football, 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:47.400 Catching the football comes naturally to him, and he's been really, 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:50.000 really good after the catch. So I've been thrilled with 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:51.480 what he's been able to do for us, just as 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:54.080 a rookie. Is a rookie allowed to tell you they're 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:58.160 open in the huddle, Well, shame on me if I'm 0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:01.080 not asking, you know, for me, I I always want 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:03.400 to get feedback. So you know, I'm asking the old line, 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:05.680 what snap count do you want here? Based on how 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:08.920 you feel the D line is playing receivers tight ends. 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:10.600 You know what routes do you think and get you open? 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:12.680 What technique are you being played with? Do you think 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:14.520 you have this route? Do you think you have that route? 0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:17.200 Are you ready for a double move? And obviously the 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:19.599 Adam Dealins and Justin Jefferson's of the world are always 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:21.280 open and they're going to always tell you what you 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:23.280 want to hear. But so you have to have a 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:26.000 discerning year. But yeah, I'm always asking, hopefully and if not, 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:27.840 they better be telling me what they want and what 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:29.960 they think they can do to help us explain the 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:32.680 snap count because it feels like every snap count is 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:35.640 the same count where the quarterback just like claps his 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:37.760 hands or something. We're seeing this in college in the 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:40.720 pros is there it used to be. Now Aaron Rodgers 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:43.200 is pretty good at drawing you off, but I don't 0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:46.560 know how many other quarterbacks are you going at a 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:50.600 different count. Yeah, it's a great question. We probably carry 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:53.160 a half dozen snap counts a game. So whether that's 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:56.440 going you know, really quickly, whether that's drawn it out 0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:59.520 or anything in between, you know, and using code words 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:03.000 dummy counts, you know, ways to try to one moment 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:04.880 what I say is live the next play, what I 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:07.880 say is dead. Um, just trying to keep a defense 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:10.120 from being able to tee off and pin their ears back. 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:12.640 But yeah, the clap of the hand has been a 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:15.920 really good technique that's really started in college and has 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:18.240 made its way to the NFL. And um, you know, 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:20.600 it's a great way because you can you can bring 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:23.200 your hands together and not clap them, and to the defense, 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:25.040 it looks like you are and so they have to 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:27.080 show what they're gonna do. So it's a very effective 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:28.520 way to snap the ball if you're in the shotgun. 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:31.960 Lamar Jackson said recently that he was playing in a 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:33.600 game where he went to the line of scrimmage and 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:36.200 the defense was basically calling out what the play was 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:41.960 going to be. How often does that happen? Where it happens? Yeah, certainly, certainly, Yeah, 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:45.000 it happens. I mean you you know the questions can 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:46.640 they still stop it? You know there are times where 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:49.600 the linebacker I'll say, they're running right here and it's 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:51.400 third and two and you still get the first down, 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:53.720 so uh, you know, the ball still has to be 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:55.640 snapped and you still got to go make the tackle. 0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:58.480 But yeah, I mean teams watch film, they study all 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:00.400 week long. I mean, that's our full time job. So 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:03.280 they're going to guess right or have an idea, you know, 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:06.200 and you just have to hope it's not every play. 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:08.800 Do you have a tell? Have you been told you 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:11.360 have a tell with certain you know, like pitchers that 0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:14.240 they'll they'll have a tell and hitters, right, we'll pick 0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:16.920 up something. But have you ever been told that, hey, 0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:19.920 you're given this away or you do this on running 0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:22.720 play or passing play. Yeah, it's another great question one 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:24.960 that I'm kind of always asking, Like during training camp 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:27.239 and we're practicing against our defense, you know, Coach Zimmer, 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:29.400 our head coach, is a defensive you know, has a 0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:32.600 defensive background. So I'm always asking them, hey, do I 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:34.160 have a tell? You know, is there anything in my 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:36.080 snap count that's given away that the ball is not 0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:37.360 going to be snapped or is it going to be 0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:40.920 snapped or anything with you know, my body language suggests 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:45.720 run pass. So yeah, you're always asking, but I haven't 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:48.520 gotten a lot of feedback of anything convincing that that 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:50.319 tells that certainly your opponent is not going to tell 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:52.240 you if they find one. What is it like to 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:54.400 go to the line of scrimmage now and you can 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:59.679 actually hear the opposing team breathing. It's odd. Um, it's 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:02.840 the word we're living in twenty twenty. But you know, 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:06.760 I'm calling the play last night and I'm at times 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:09.840 whispering in the huddle because I don't want the defense 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:11.920 to hear. I mean, they're standing there five yards away 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:15.480 just staring at me, and I'm always you know, maybe 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:17.320 to a fault, but I'm you know, worried they're gonna 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:19.640 read my lips. I'm worried they're gonna study who I'm 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:21.720 talking to and say, oh, he's talking to the receiver 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:23.400 so they're throwing the ball, or he's talking to the 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:26.240 old lines so they're running the ball. So you know, 0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:28.480 I'm always trying to kind of play that game within 0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:31.360 the game, playing and play out. Anybody talks to you 0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:35.360 last night, Kalo Mack say anything, Yeah, Bear's uh, you know, 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:37.040 they talked throughout the game. They played with a lot 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:39.680 of energy. They're a good defense. Hicks likes to talk 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:41.480 a little bit that Yeah, yeah, I know he was 0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:44.520 having fun and uh, well wait, how do you know 0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:47.480 he's having fun. He's just got a big smile on 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:50.440 his face. You know, during TV time outs. He's talking 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:54.120 to our team, to Dalvin and actually one of our 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:58.520 reserve lineman, Brett Jones, played with him in college in Canada, 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:00.760 so he was saying, make sure you say Brett Jones 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:02.880 for me. So he's just talking the whole game, you know, 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:05.120 all in good fun. Oh So there's no smack talk 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:08.679 that goes both ways, you know. I mean, it's uh, 0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:11.040 it can get heated too, but at the end of 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:12.439 the day, you know, when the games that over, you 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:14.840 shake hands and say, hey, you know you're great players 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:16.520 and you're a great defense for a reason. And we 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:18.920 got to see him again in December. So you know, 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:21.400 you don't want to to, you know, say anything too 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:24.760 too strong. You're a religious person. You ever said to somebody, hey, 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:28.720 watch your language on a field. That's a great question. 0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:32.280 Uh No, I don't think I've tried to parent anybody 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:35.400 on the field, but sometimes, you know, if I feel it, guys, 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:37.040 you know, not getting back to the huddle. That's really 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:39.840 what I get paranoid about is you know, I got 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:41.800 a play clock to operate with. I only got forty 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:43.600 seconds to call the play. So if you're gonna go, 0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:46.000 you know, chatter with a player and not getting the huddle. 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:47.640 I can't call the play that gives me less time 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:50.280 at the line of scrimmage. So I scolded Dalvin one 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:53.240 time last night for not getting in the huddle fast enough. Cool. 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:55.320 But I could see that where somebody's gonna say I'm 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:57.720 gonna rip your bleeping the head off, and you say, hey, 0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:02.640 clean up the one. Yeah, that's yeah, yeah, I'm sure 0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:05.120 that's gonna go. Boy, that's great trash talking. What did 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:08.080 he say to you? He said, that's not nice. Yeah, 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:10.240 you don't want to let him, you know, see them 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:12.680 getting your head at all. So you you just say 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:15.760 you know nothing, or or just kind of smile and wave, 0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:19.240 I know you got Did you have your breakfast cereal today? 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:22.680 You got your cereal that you're yeah, yeah, I didn't 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:25.040 have it this morning. But it's been fun to a 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:28.240 partner with high V and have this cinnamon m I 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:32.600 N N for Minnesota cinnamon snaps nice that we're selling 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:34.520 in high VS right now for for a limited time 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:37.640 during the season, and all the sales, you know, the 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:40.240 pros dies will go to Boys and Girls Club here 0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:43.120 in the Twin Cities.

Hope. 0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:49.000 The families, well, thank you, appreciate it. Good to catch 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:51.319 you up, blessing, see you guys.

He said, Hey, that's 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:06.800 not nice. Yes, Paul, So go to the line and 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:08.760 if you hear a little smack talk, go clean it up, 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:11.320 mister right before the play.

You got a potty mouth. 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:50.640 It's what you have. You wear this coach, you wear 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:54.360 what they're saying out here in the field's your mom 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:57.840 with that mouth. It's like Anthony Michael Hall and Breakfast Club. 0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:03.959 A couple of phone calls in here. Brandon in Texas 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:06.120 joins us on the program. Hey Brandon, and what's on 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:11.200 your mind today? Oh? Nothing much, Dan? First off, following uh, 0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:14.000 Kirk cousins that that's I'll take that all day. You know, 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:17.120 that's it's tough to follow. But he played great last night. 0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:22.920 My my, my, My question would be, you know with 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:27.079 Twah and how he's playing right now. He's doing Okay, 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:30.000 you're not putting up great numbers, but he's winning. But 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:33.760 nobody seems to be talking about that Dolphins defense. You know, 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:36.200 they seem to be they seem to be pulling that 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:38.400 pulling that team forward right now? What do you think? 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:43.760 I think you sound like Patrick Mahomes. Yeah, well, I'm 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:46.400 from I'm from uh love It, Texas, so we can 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:53.040 talk Pat Mahomes too. But let's just pretend you're Patrick Mahomes. Okay, 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:55.560 are you the greatest quarterback of all time? Patrick? And 0:13:55.600 --> 0:14:00.480 if so? Why, Ah? I think so look at my numbers. 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:02.240 You know, look what I've done in the short amount 0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:06.640 of time. Do you think you're underpaid at five hundred 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:13.959 million dollars? No? Oh, thank you, Brandon Slash. Patrick Mahomes 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:19.120 there Dolphin fan. Apparently nobody is talking about the Dolphins defense. Yeah, 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:21.200 I guess I'm guilty. I haven't been talking about that 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:25.440 Dolphins defense. And yeah, two is just winning games. That's all. 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:30.720 Just win games or you're not losing games. And eventually 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:32.800 the Dolphins are gonna lean on him and say you're 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:35.120 gonna have to win a game for us, and we're 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:38.960 gonna find out if he's capable of doing that. Let 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:41.480 me see Austin in Tennessee. Hi, Austin, what's on your 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:48.880 mind today? Hey? I was just shank, Sorry he was. 0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:52.240 He was wondering. His birthday is tomorrow. Dan, by the way, 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:59.680 I'm his dad, Okay, and thank you. What if Harden 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:07.040 to the Clippers with Leonard Kawhi Leonard for Paul George. 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:10.160 I think that would be a good duo. And also 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:16.320 it would make sense because hardened time to ask Houston 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:21.440 right now? Well, Austin, more importantly, happy birthday tomorrow, and 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:24.320 we appreciate your calling in and tell Dad not to 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:28.280 hog the phone the next time. Okay, okay, all right, 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:31.480 that's Austin in Tennessee. Well, first of all, if I'm Houston, 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:33.720 I don't want Paul George straight up for James Harden, 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:37.560 But I don't know what else you could give. I 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:39.840 don't know if James Harden, I don't know Kawi. Who 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:42.720 knows Kawhi is a mystery. I don't know if Kawhi 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:46.240 would want he weren't hard to get Paul George there. 0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:49.040 They would ask him, would you like James Harden that team? 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:50.760 And they'll just be silence for four to five months. 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:54.640 Now you'd just laugh. Maybe, I don't know, but if 0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:56.800 you work that hard, this is one I don't understand. 0:15:57.160 --> 0:16:01.600 Harden didn't want Chris Paul and Seem traded to Oklahoma City. 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:04.680 There you know you're able to get Russell Westbrook Junior 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:07.640 the third and then you have a situation where Kauai 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:11.080 wants to get Paul George, and then they trade a 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:15.120 boatload there to get Paul George there. Now James wants out. 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:18.840 I don't know what happens to Russell Westbrook because he 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:22.000 might be the one that's left there, although they're bringing 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:25.960 in Paul Silas's son who worked with the Warriors and 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:28.960 work with the MAVs. And the reason why, if I'm 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:33.200 James Harden, I would go let me at least let 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:35.400 me at least listen to my new coach in his 0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:40.560 philosophy because what that coach did is build an offense 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:44.720 around Luca. Now it's a little bit different, I feel 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:47.800 than James Harden because it's not, you know, solely driven 0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:52.360 on shooting threes. I would just be curious what James 0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:55.520 Silas is going to bring in and he would be 0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:58.880 able to incorporate what they did in Golden State when 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:00.960 he worked there and what they do with the MAVs. 0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:02.920 Just based off that, I would just want to hear 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:06.600 my new head coach his philosophy would be and how 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:10.359 it might affect me as we move forward, because what 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:15.040 they've done, it's run its course. Can they win differently 0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:18.080 with the same group? That's what I would be curious about. 0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:22.920 But it feels like everybody's upset with their Eric Gordon PJ. Tuck, 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:26.760 Like everybody, come on in, who's upset? How about who's 0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:30.120 not upset with their situation with the Rockets. Austin River 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:37.320 is upset with his situation. Reportedly, everybody is but James Harden. 0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:39.760 If he's going anywhere, I guess it's going to be 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:42.439 to Brooklyn. But if not, and I'm the Rockets, I 0:17:42.440 --> 0:17:45.200 would say to James, you got two years, man, you 0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:49.919 got two years. I'm gonna wait. You know, we're not 0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:52.920 in a hurry to just dismantle this team right now. 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:55.320 We want the best deal for us. A lot of 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:58.199 times we always look at the deal from the perspective 0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:01.439 of the team we want to get better. And you go, 0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:04.879 you know, what'd be a great deal for the Clippers 0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:08.320 if they got okay? But what's that mean for the Rockets? 0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:10.560 Or you don't have a great deal for the Lakers? 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:13.200 And you go, well, what's that mean for Okloma sitting? 0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:16.359 You got to look at both sides just to be 0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:20.400 fair when you're approaching these kind of proposed trades.
