Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Oh, we made it to a Wednesday. It's
Speaker 1: our one, Dan and the Dan Answer. No hour two
Speaker 1: hour one flew by so quickly I forgot about it.
Speaker 1: Talked a lot about who got the better end of
Speaker 1: these deals Seattle? Did they do what they needed to do?
Speaker 1: Denver give up too much? Did Green Bay spend too much?
Speaker 1: Did they give in to Aaron Rodgers too much? All
Speaker 1: of these questions everybody wants an answer today. Gotta have
Speaker 1: a grade on who was the big winner, who won
Speaker 1: the trades? I look at this. Green Bay did what
Speaker 1: they needed to do. They made an offer at Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1: He couldn't turn down. And you can't move on at
Speaker 1: this juncture. You won back to back MVPs. The NFC
Speaker 1: still looks like it's wide open. And that's including the
Speaker 1: Rams trying to repeat, but keeping Aaron Rodgers, paying Aaron Rodgers,
Speaker 1: what do you do with that roster? Also? What changes
Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers because he lost to Tom Brady? What
Speaker 1: did he do in those other games, those other playoff games?
Speaker 1: Who did he lose to? I mean, regular season's great,
Speaker 1: this is about the postseason for him Denver, it's about
Speaker 1: getting to the postseason. Seattle, it's bound hitting the reset
Speaker 1: button here? Or do they have something cooking? Because are
Speaker 1: you going to get to Shaun Watson? Are you banking
Speaker 1: on Deshaun Watson? Pete Carroll at age seventy one or
Speaker 1: soon to be seventy one and you're rebuilding there? Denver,
Speaker 1: You're in a tough division and Russ is going to
Speaker 1: help you because he's going to keep you in every game.
Speaker 1: But I don't think there's any slam dunk answers because
Speaker 1: I look at Seattle. Can you be competitive again? Denver?
Speaker 1: Are you going to be elevated to the point where
Speaker 1: you're going to be as good as, if not better than,
Speaker 1: Kansas City? The answers probably no. Green Bay, it's never
Speaker 1: been about the regular season. It's about the postseason. And
Speaker 1: you've had home games NFC title games there and Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers and Green Bay have not played well. What is
Speaker 1: going to change with that? You can pay him all
Speaker 1: this money. Are you going to lose some players? You
Speaker 1: got Davanta Adams. I still like that they got a
Speaker 1: couple of impactful defensive players. I like the two running backs,
Speaker 1: wide receiving Corps underrated outside of Davanta Adams. But is
Speaker 1: anything going to change with Aaron Rodgers? Now you don't
Speaker 1: have Tom Brady to worry about. You may only have
Speaker 1: the Rams to worry about for the best record, and
Speaker 1: you know, having home field advantage here San Francisco unless
Speaker 1: they get Tom Brady still in a state of flux there,
Speaker 1: Seattle's not going to be somebody you worry about in
Speaker 1: the NFC. Dallas, Dallas is already losing a couple of
Speaker 1: their impactful players, DeMarcus Lawrence, the Maari Cooper. How good
Speaker 1: are they going to be in a bad division? Maybe
Speaker 1: they have home field advantage. Who else in the NFC?
Speaker 1: Do you look at it and go, okay, we got
Speaker 1: to worry about that. Now you can factor in Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 1: If he does go to a team and elevates that team,
Speaker 1: do they become a contender? I look at the Rams
Speaker 1: anybody else. Tampa is not going to be there. New
Speaker 1: Orleans not going to be there, Carolina is not going
Speaker 1: to be there. Falcons aren't going to be there, you know.
Speaker 1: I looking at the Vikings. No, you know, and I think,
Speaker 1: and that's why I looked at this, you know, logically
Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers said, it made sense for him to stay.
Speaker 1: I just thought that this it had gone on long
Speaker 1: enough that maybe it felt like he was leaving and
Speaker 1: he was going to go to Denver. But you know,
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning retired in twenty sixteen. Denver has been looking
Speaker 1: for a quarterback ever since then. And they found their
Speaker 1: quarterback yesterday. You know, they had Drew Locke. I mean,
Speaker 1: they've gone through so many quarterbacks. There no Fritzie run
Speaker 1: down the list of all the quarterbacks. I do know
Speaker 1: that there were eleven between Manning and the situation. They
Speaker 1: were now eleven different quarterbacks, which is just pathetic. And
Speaker 1: I've blocked out the games. I'm just so just disappointed
Speaker 1: in how the last Let's go. Let's just I can't
Speaker 1: when you put me on the spot like that, I
Speaker 1: black out him. I just know that it's just been
Speaker 1: a really, really bad run. Even if I've seen the
Speaker 1: graphics over and over again, they show Merry go rounds
Speaker 1: and they show all the different players going around in circles,
Speaker 1: and the locks and the Bridgewall games. All right, how
Speaker 1: about this. If Paulie can name more Broncos quarterbacks than you,
Speaker 1: then you get a pint of the fair since Manning. Yeah,
Speaker 1: now teams fair. I mean it's your team, the Broncos.
Speaker 1: You got your Broncos gear on, you got your pajamas on,
Speaker 1: you got your hat on. I knew there was gonna
Speaker 1: be something where my day that was supposed to be
Speaker 1: exciting for me had to turn into something like negative
Speaker 1: or like something. The Broncos, how many playoff games theyre
Speaker 1: gonna win? And says you love Russell Wilson Filmo. I
Speaker 1: just figured, you know, you've had to deal with all
Speaker 1: these quarterbacks here, right, don't you love Russell will Systems. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we've got to win at least on playoff game where
Speaker 1: you've got to swim. You know, this is what we
Speaker 1: do now, this is the show every day, what I
Speaker 1: wear to work. You're the one that you know this
Speaker 1: was a big deal. I would have thought you would
Speaker 1: have been, you know, listing off those quarterbacks. You'd have
Speaker 1: them all. You'd be like, oh my god, we've I
Speaker 1: don't want to think about that, blocked them out. Okay,
Speaker 1: give us three quarterbacks that they've had. That's easy. I honestly,
Speaker 1: when you put me out of the spot like that,
Speaker 1: I said Bridgewater and lock because those are the most
Speaker 1: recent prior to that, Brett Rippon and all that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Paul Simeon, Osweiler, greasy Paxton. I mean here, I just
Speaker 1: what's going on? I just like my mind doesn't work
Speaker 1: that way. Are you a Bronco fanly die Hard? And
Speaker 1: because I'm such a Brocco fan, I've eliminated them from
Speaker 1: my brain. Stop do you ask me a quick question?
Speaker 1: You totally unnerved me. I could also look up Broncos
Speaker 1: quarterbacks over the years on my computer, which I didn't do.
Speaker 1: I played fair and I'm staring at my email and
Speaker 1: stead are you saying that I'm saying. I'm saying that
Speaker 1: in this day and age, You're easy. You just called it, okay,
Speaker 1: I can never happened before. How about this, we can
Speaker 1: I can have Paully get up out of his chair.
Speaker 1: I can have somebody from the back room come in
Speaker 1: and look at what he's searched for. I just got
Speaker 1: it up right now after I gave my SIMI I'm
Speaker 1: not making any I feel bad that I couldn't name
Speaker 1: some of those guys off the top of my head.
Speaker 1: Russell Wills, now I thought you were a Runko fan.
Speaker 1: My bad. Uh so, welcome to the program. I don't
Speaker 1: did we come up with a pole question? See, and
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened in the first hown. Uh yeah,
Speaker 1: we do have some options for a poll question. We
Speaker 1: actually threw one up there too. Um So, what we
Speaker 1: have up on the site right now is who is
Speaker 1: more likely to get their second ring first? Aaron Rodgers,
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, Patrick Mahomes, Matthew Stafford. Uh okay. I thought
Speaker 1: you were gonna have Russ and Aaron Rodgers and I
Speaker 1: would go, no, that's that's not a contest. It felt
Speaker 1: more fun to throw in Mahomes and Stafford, okay to
Speaker 1: get their second ring. All right, I'm gonna go. And
Speaker 1: this is actually suggested by BRG, which is nice. The
Speaker 1: back room guys did yeah stepping up well now that
Speaker 1: Marvin is oh in the front front room, weren't row Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: The other people that are like, hey, I'm back here too,
Speaker 1: who is more likely? I would say Aaron Rodgers because
Speaker 1: Mahomes is gonna have a lot of competition in the FC.
Speaker 1: You know, the two best teams, it feels like, are
Speaker 1: Kansas City and Buffalo. According to Vegas, I don't want
Speaker 1: Rams fans to say we're they're defending Super Bowl. Cha.
Speaker 1: It's weird how Buffalo all of a sudden became better
Speaker 1: because some quarterbacks moved around. Well, I think they'd been there.
Speaker 1: They were number I think it was kans City, then
Speaker 1: Buffalo and then maybe the Rams. According to Vegas with
Speaker 1: those ons, yes, right now early results, Patrick Mahomes is destroying.
Speaker 1: He's got sixty one percent of the vote. Then Russell Wilson,
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, and Matthew Stafford are all sort of tied.
Speaker 1: They keep sort of jackeying for position there, but they're
Speaker 1: all basically tied. Around thirteen. I would say Rogers because
Speaker 1: of the lack of competition getting to another title game
Speaker 1: at home, probably a couple of them. I also wondered
Speaker 1: about this because you know, when we look at the
Speaker 1: AFC West, you're like, well, Russ compared to Justin Herbert
Speaker 1: and Derek Carr and Patrick Mahomes. I want to know
Speaker 1: how he's going to get you know, those defenses that
Speaker 1: he's not going against Justin Herbert or Patrick Mahomes. He's
Speaker 1: going against those defenses. And if I look at the
Speaker 1: AFC West, the Chiefs allowed the eighth fewest points in
Speaker 1: the AFC the Raiders twenty six. Chargers tied for twenty nine.
Speaker 1: So Russ has to look at that and go, Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't feel too bad about that. Passing yards allowed
Speaker 1: Chargers twelfth, Raiders thirteenth, Chiefs twenty seventh, total yards allowed
Speaker 1: Raiders fourteenth, Charges twenty third, Chiefs twenty seven. He's not
Speaker 1: going to be looking at the Chargers defense or the
Speaker 1: Chiefs defense probably is a formidable defense, maybe the Raiders.
Speaker 1: But I started to look at that when you know,
Speaker 1: we want to compare these quarterbacks, it's who are you going?
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers going against the Lions, the Bears, and the Vikings.
Speaker 1: I'd like his chances. I'd like my chances in games
Speaker 1: against those guys. And that's why it makes a lot
Speaker 1: of sense for Aaron Rodgers. Also, who got the most
Speaker 1: for their money? Seattle paid one hundred eighty one million
Speaker 1: dollars for Russell Wilson's career two Super Bowls one one
Speaker 1: last one. Packers paid two hundred and sixty three million
Speaker 1: for Aaron Rodgers career up to this point. One Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: Buccaneers paid Tom Brady fifty eight million dollars, got one
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. It feels like it was a little bit
Speaker 1: more of a bargain for Seattle with Russell Wilson. Plus
Speaker 1: they were able to keep the Legion of Boom intact
Speaker 1: and that was really important back then. And then the
Speaker 1: quarterback another thing with Russ going to Denver, he's gonna
Speaker 1: want to renegotiate his contract too. He's got two years left.
Speaker 1: He gets twenty five million dollars per year, so he's
Speaker 1: got to he's gonna make in two years what Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers was gonna make in want. But he's gonna want
Speaker 1: to get up to the forty five million dollars a
Speaker 1: year quarterback plateau. Yeah, Poling, do you think that's one
Speaker 1: of those things that's pre negotiated or pre handshake agreed,
Speaker 1: Like Russell Wilson's agent says to the Broccos, he will
Speaker 1: approve this trade, but you know we're not waiting two
Speaker 1: years for an extension. I would imagine it has to
Speaker 1: be included that if you trade for him, if he
Speaker 1: gave up, gives up the trade veto he'll go there,
Speaker 1: but he wants a new contract. I would imagine that
Speaker 1: has to be because if he's planning on playing another
Speaker 1: eight to ten years. Then he's gonna go, all right,
Speaker 1: what's what's my future here? Two years? You want to
Speaker 1: give up all this? And then two years then I'm gone, Yeah, poling.
Speaker 1: Who do you think is right now the highest paid
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL for the twenty twenty two season,
Speaker 1: not overall, not cap hit, what paycheck? Who make the
Speaker 1: most with everything they get, no incentives? Just what they
Speaker 1: get of any NFL quarterback? Matt Ryan, that's correct. Forty
Speaker 1: eight million, six hundred thousand, and that's who you would
Speaker 1: think would be the highest paid quarterback in the NFL. Right,
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins is third, Deshaun Watson not playing it makes
Speaker 1: forty million. Ryan Tannehill is getting thirty eight large. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Jeff and Detroit joins us, Hey, Jeff, what's on your
Speaker 1: mind today? What? No one time for chat? Row? Listen, Marv,
Speaker 1: is yours so loose? First of all, you come with
Speaker 1: deprecating human all small with your small hands. Then you
Speaker 1: talk about you had a misery topper when Dan says
Speaker 1: something about his five a passing away. And then you
Speaker 1: come and say, I'm messing up, man, I'm messing up.
Speaker 1: Let me skip, let me skip, let me get on
Speaker 1: you know how you I'm a little nervous. Fritzy Hey
Speaker 1: Todd and Detroit calling it a lot of pressure of
Speaker 1: name the Broos starting quarterbacks there, Jeff mat Stafford Stafford, Yeah,
Speaker 1: a little bit too much coffee man. But at any rate, Um,
Speaker 1: you guys were talking about upbeat songs in reference to that,
Speaker 1: I got one for you. Got caught in a hotel
Speaker 1: room with my homeboys nascing around listening to Shiny Happy
Speaker 1: People by r Em. And it wasn't a good scene, dude,
Speaker 1: It really really wasn't. Now My question to you guys
Speaker 1: is this, with Aaron Rodgers standput, if he doesn't win
Speaker 1: another NFL Super Bowl, what would we say about his career?
Speaker 1: Because I don't see him receiving the same treatment saying
Speaker 1: it's like Russell Wilson or Matt Stafford. You know, it's
Speaker 1: like he should have won. When will be just slid
Speaker 1: with Russ or Matt just winning one? Yeah, well, we
Speaker 1: hold Rogers to a higher standard. We should he just
Speaker 1: went back to Mack MVPs. If he doesn't win another
Speaker 1: super Bowl or at least go to another Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: I think it's been a disappointment. I mean, they have
Speaker 1: a good team. They drafted well, you know, the only
Speaker 1: thing they did was they drafted Jordan Love because they
Speaker 1: thought Rogers was on the decline. But he's been great.
Speaker 1: But if you're gonna pay him that kind of money,
Speaker 1: give him that kind of power, and he doesn't go
Speaker 1: to another super Bowl. I don't expect Russ to go
Speaker 1: to another super Bowl. I sort of expect Matthew Stafford
Speaker 1: to be in another super Bowl. But Aaron Rodgers absolutely,
Speaker 1: if he doesn't go, I think that would be a disappointment.
Speaker 1: It'd be a disappointment to him, a surprise to him.
Speaker 1: Todd has a limerick today. Todd has mock headlines today.
Speaker 1: Anything else related to Russell Wilson in the Broncos. I'm
Speaker 1: still trying to figure out who the Ovier quarterbacks were,
Speaker 1: between man and and Russell Wills. I am, I'm that
Speaker 1: was terrible. I don't know. I just blanked out obviously
Speaker 1: that I should have been able to rattle off at
Speaker 1: least some of those. Every Bronco game, the first thing
Speaker 1: they do is show a merry go round of all
Speaker 1: the quarters. You don't do well under pressure, I know
Speaker 1: that's that you've seen that on my attempts at stand
Speaker 1: up another thing. Yeah, you're right, I think so. I'm
Speaker 1: a little shaken, little disappointed myself. Yeah, moll bronchoed out
Speaker 1: and you're like him a few quarterbacks and I blanked
Speaker 1: that like I used to get numbers before exams, and
Speaker 1: I knew it backwards and forwards it as soon as
Speaker 1: there's papers in front of him, like, I don't know
Speaker 1: how to answer any of these questions. That's when you
Speaker 1: would cheat off your neighbor's paper. And Greg Kurschner, when
Speaker 1: you look at each other, there the old biology midterm
Speaker 1: C A, B, B A. Sure those are the first five.
Speaker 1: How about this more likely to appear in the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl next year? Russell Wilson Tom Brady, oh means fired?
Speaker 1: I think, well, I don't know. Chris sim says, I'm
Speaker 1: fifty fifty on Tom Brady playing again this next season.
Speaker 1: It's just, you know, it's a story that doesn't go away,
Speaker 1: and I don't know if we don't want it to
Speaker 1: go away, but I don't think Tom is helping it,
Speaker 1: or maybe he's helping the fact that it won't go away,
Speaker 1: because if he just said that, there is no way
Speaker 1: like if you said to me, ask me if I
Speaker 1: would ever go back and work at ESPN doing Sports Center, Dan,
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on returning someday to ESPN? Well,
Speaker 1: right now I would say that, Um no, I'm retired
Speaker 1: from doing Sports Center, but I don't know what the
Speaker 1: future holds. You know, if I'm at home with the kids,
Speaker 1: you know that. Um you know you'd never say never.
Speaker 1: Let's put it that way. If you ask me, will
Speaker 1: you ever host Sports Center again? Go back and do
Speaker 1: it on a regular basis, Well, I asked you that
Speaker 1: eight years ago and then you did host one one one.
Speaker 1: If you ask me if i'd ever host going forward,
Speaker 1: will you ever host another Sports Center? No? Absolutely not.
Speaker 1: And if I do, pies to the face from you
Speaker 1: guys the rest of my life, every single day, Pie
Speaker 1: to the face. No, I see. You could have answered
Speaker 1: it that way, and then you know we'd put this
Speaker 1: to rest. It's almost like Brady likes sort of tweaking
Speaker 1: us a little bit like Aaron Rodgers when he said, Hey,
Speaker 1: I haven't signed that contract. Well, no, you haven't, can't
Speaker 1: officially sign it, but he wanted to let everybody know
Speaker 1: that I didn't sign that contract. I'm coming back. I
Speaker 1: didn't sign that contract. Okay, did you agree to terms
Speaker 1: to then sign that contract when you can semantics here?
Speaker 1: All right, Well take a break, we're going. McFarlane will
Speaker 1: join us. We'll get to more phone calls as well.
Speaker 1: Yesterday it was sad songs. Today it's happy songs. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's funny. Jeff and Detroit brought it up. But Rim
Speaker 1: may be in the unique position of winning the saddest
Speaker 1: song contest, the happiest song contest, and the happiest sounding
Speaker 1: sad song contest, and the worst sounding happiest song contest.
Speaker 1: Shiny Happy People. Shiny Happy People is a terrible song,
Speaker 1: but there's no doubt that it's like super upbeat. But
Speaker 1: also it's the end of the world as we know.
Speaker 1: It is an incredibly upbeat song while talking about and
Speaker 1: I feel fine, you know, starts with the earthquake, hurricane,
Speaker 1: birds and snakes and narrow planes and we're all gonna
Speaker 1: die and Lenny brus end of the world. Well, it's
Speaker 1: like Springsteen with Hungry Heart. I got a wife and
Speaker 1: kids in Baltimore, Jack, I went out for a ride
Speaker 1: and never came back, And people are just going yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: cheat on your wife. Man, Yeah, the kids. Everybody's got
Speaker 1: a hungry heart. I'm cheating on my wife and that's
Speaker 1: just the star. All right, take a break back after
Speaker 1: this Dan Patrick Show and now a message from Discover
Speaker 1: about customer service in common sense. When you have credit
Speaker 1: card information questions, you need to have somebody answer your questions, right.
Speaker 1: You know, a human being you actually understand your issues,
Speaker 1: works to resolve them. Somebody with a knack for helping
Speaker 1: others and having a pulse in other words, which you
Speaker 1: don't need is a robot. That's why Discover offers helpful
Speaker 1: US based representatives available twenty four to seven. We call
Speaker 1: that live customer service, with the emphasis on the word live,
Speaker 1: Discover exceptionally common sense. Thanks for listening to the Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick Show podcast. Be sure to catch us live every
Speaker 1: weekday morning nine until noon eastern six to nine Pacific
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio, and you can find us on
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app at FSR or stream us live on
Speaker 1: the Peacock app. Watch a lot of college basketball last night, Gonzaga,
Speaker 1: South Dakota State, Bryant Bellerman. Although all these years growing
Speaker 1: up in Ohio, I was in Kentucky for two years
Speaker 1: at Eastern Kentucky, and I always thought it was Bellermine.
Speaker 1: I think I even played against Bellermine my freshman year
Speaker 1: at Eastern Kentucky. But Bellerman they win, but they're not
Speaker 1: able to qualify going to the NCAA tournament because I
Speaker 1: guess there's a five year window when you move up
Speaker 1: from Division two to Division one. But they were still
Speaker 1: allowed to play in the tournament. They win the tournament,
Speaker 1: but then they don't get to go to March Madness
Speaker 1: Delaware and right State. Also moving on, make sure you
Speaker 1: pick up a bag of pennies Bang Biscuits, bite sized
Speaker 1: treats for perfect reward time for your training sessions with
Speaker 1: your puppy. And we're really proud of these. All the
Speaker 1: biscuits handmade from scratch, using healthy, all natural ingredients. Twenty
Speaker 1: percent of all Bang Biscuits sales given back to hand
Speaker 1: picked partners in the pet industry. All right, we'll get
Speaker 1: more phone calls coming up. What's question results so far?
Speaker 1: And then we'll get to Booger McFarland. So far, Dan
Speaker 1: who's more likely to get their second ring first? Patrick
Speaker 1: Mahomes still running away with it with forty eight percent
Speaker 1: of the vote, and Aaron Rodgers ticking up, Matthew Stafford
Speaker 1: pulling away Russell Wilson in last thirteen. All right, let's
Speaker 1: hit the way back machine. Let me go back twenty
Speaker 1: four hours ago. So we bring in Booger McFarland, ESPN,
Speaker 1: Nafel in college football analysts. If I said the likelihood
Speaker 1: that Russell Wilson was on the move, Aaron Rodgers was
Speaker 1: on the move, what would you have said, Booger, Good morning,
Speaker 1: dand morning Probably that it was Aaron Rodgers. I think
Speaker 1: we all expected Aaron Rodgers to be on the move
Speaker 1: based on the last really two years. Would all the
Speaker 1: us not knowing what was going to happen, all the
Speaker 1: hard feelings, But it seemed like there was an epiphany
Speaker 1: up in Green Bay and everybody kind of got on
Speaker 1: the same page. So I think that's why it was
Speaker 1: a shocker that Aaron stayed and then the log rushed
Speaker 1: a little while later that Russell was leading. If I
Speaker 1: said to Denver John Elway, you can have Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: or Russell Wilson, who would you take? That's not even
Speaker 1: a question. I take the guy that's won four MVPs
Speaker 1: over the guy that hadn't gotten a single MVPP vote.
Speaker 1: To me, it's not even close. But if I look
Speaker 1: at the longevity that I could have Russell Wilson as
Speaker 1: opposed to Aaron Rodgers, do I factor in age in
Speaker 1: that answer? You can factor to the end. But I
Speaker 1: think you could ask the Buccaneers that they factor in
Speaker 1: age when they chose Tom Brady or vice versus Tom
Speaker 1: Brady shows them they just took the best quarterback at
Speaker 1: the time and they got a Super Bowl out of it,
Speaker 1: and I think they're really really happy now. It puts
Speaker 1: them in a position now that Brady has retired that
Speaker 1: they're looking for a quarterback, but they can always go
Speaker 1: into the trophy case and look at that Lombardi in
Speaker 1: that Super Bowl rang. So Aaron Rodgers is a better quarterback.
Speaker 1: But what Russell Wilson does Dan is when I as
Speaker 1: a player, if I'm on that team, when I go
Speaker 1: to training camp, now I know we got a guy
Speaker 1: that gives me a better than a punch of chance.
Speaker 1: Like we gotta hope to know we can compete with
Speaker 1: Kansas City, the Chargers, the Las Vegas Raiders in our
Speaker 1: own division before we even get to the rest of
Speaker 1: the AFC or the rest of the NFL. If I
Speaker 1: said this, and it's a snarky poll question, more likely
Speaker 1: to appear in the Super Bowl next year, Russell Wilson
Speaker 1: or Tom Brady more likely? Still, well, did you just
Speaker 1: based on odds? In fact, the fact that one of
Speaker 1: my odds is not even currently playing in the NFL.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to take Russell Wilson. But if Tom
Speaker 1: Brady were to come back and be on a Bible team,
Speaker 1: let's just say, for instance, we're in this nice imaginary world,
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers or the forty nine ers. Yeah, those two
Speaker 1: teams would vault ahead of the Broncods. Which move? Did
Speaker 1: you not? Like yesterday? I think sometimes over my lifetime
Speaker 1: day in probably yours, how many times have we seen
Speaker 1: a person or a situation just kind of where it's course.
Speaker 1: We saw it with Andy Reid in Philadelphia. We've seen
Speaker 1: it with Tom Brady in New England. I thought we
Speaker 1: had got to a point where Aaron Rodgers in Green
Speaker 1: Bay had kind of warts, kind of wanteds courts to
Speaker 1: time to one out and both sides needed to change
Speaker 1: because you know that those steelings haven't always been the
Speaker 1: same page. Now I know we're gonna say coombay, y'all,
Speaker 1: they're gonna give him forty five to fifty million a year,
Speaker 1: and everybody's gonna stay. Everything is great. But then you,
Speaker 1: like me, have probably had hard feelings to a person
Speaker 1: or for a person, and we say, yep, I forgive you,
Speaker 1: and we move on. But are those feelings really gone?
Speaker 1: Are they ever really gone? Or do we just suppress
Speaker 1: them based on something that happened, or based on our
Speaker 1: decision to just move on. I just wonder if it
Speaker 1: doesn't go well in Green and Bay. Let's say, for instance,
Speaker 1: and I do not foresee this because I think they're
Speaker 1: gonna walk away with that division. I think they're gonna
Speaker 1: win thirteen games. But let's just say, for instance, something's happened,
Speaker 1: happens bad, and they don't get off to the start,
Speaker 1: and Brian glut against us, something that Aaron doesn't like.
Speaker 1: You think those feelings are gonna come back up. Let's
Speaker 1: say cut somebody, let's say cuts Randall corp Bert, cut
Speaker 1: somebody that Aaron really likes it. You think those hard
Speaker 1: feelings are going to come back up. I do, And
Speaker 1: so I just think at some point there's a time
Speaker 1: you move on, and I thought the time was now
Speaker 1: for green band Aaron to move on. More pressure on
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson or Aaron Rodgers this next season. I think
Speaker 1: it's more impressure on Aaron because Aaron is in a familiar,
Speaker 1: consistent position. They won thirteen games minimum the last three years.
Speaker 1: If their special teams would have been better, they probably
Speaker 1: would have won this year. Oh, by the way, they
Speaker 1: go out and hire Rich Bastacia, who I think is
Speaker 1: the best special team's coaching football. So they're taking away
Speaker 1: every excuse that Aaron has and Dan, what a travesty
Speaker 1: it would be for a guy that, at the very
Speaker 1: minimum we say is the most talented quarterback we've ever seen.
Speaker 1: At the very minimum, you could argue that he from
Speaker 1: an individual standpoint, he's one of the more acomplished quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: Money four MVPs, What age trivacy that would be if
Speaker 1: he only wins one super Bowl? And so I think
Speaker 1: there's a lot of pressure on Aaron Rodgers to win.
Speaker 1: We don't know what Russell is going to be like.
Speaker 1: Remember when I think it was the Eagles are the
Speaker 1: then known as the Redskins. Put that team together and
Speaker 1: we called him a free team and everybody's like, man,
Speaker 1: they're gonna dominate, and they were terrible. So we don't
Speaker 1: know what Denver is gonna be. We don't know what
Speaker 1: kind of coaching that thank you Hacking is going to be.
Speaker 1: I know what Green Bay and Aaron are, so there's
Speaker 1: a ton of pressure on him. Yeah, I look at Denver.
Speaker 1: I'm they're not quite there yet. But Russ does give
Speaker 1: you a chance to win every game and you can't.
Speaker 1: It's been a long time since we've said that about
Speaker 1: a Denver quarterback there. I'm curious what Seattle's doing. Pete
Speaker 1: Carroll's going to be seventy one. I try not to
Speaker 1: factor in age, but when I look at a rebuild
Speaker 1: for a team at that age and they haven't drafted, well,
Speaker 1: I don't know what they have there. Bobby Wagner, the
Speaker 1: heart and soul of that football team. He's gone now,
Speaker 1: Russ is gone, Drew Locke, I mean, unless they get lucky,
Speaker 1: they draft somebody, or you know, Deshaun Watson comes to town.
Speaker 1: What do you make of Seattle's logic here? Well, Seattle,
Speaker 1: I think realized that they were the fourth best team
Speaker 1: in the NFC West with Russell Wilson, so if we're
Speaker 1: gonna be that, let's not pay a guy thirty four
Speaker 1: million dollars or whatever he's old this year and be
Speaker 1: the fourth best team in our division. The fact that
Speaker 1: they've gotten they've traded Russell, they've got rid of Bobby right,
Speaker 1: they're clearly rebuilding at the very minimum. Now, I just
Speaker 1: wonder why they have a steven team to have million
Speaker 1: dollars safety in Jamal Adams. That contract sticks out with
Speaker 1: what they're doing, so I don't know if they can
Speaker 1: trade that contract. So they're rebuilding, but they can't really
Speaker 1: all kind of go all in on rebuilding because of
Speaker 1: that contract. So I think Pete Carroll, he's a young
Speaker 1: seventy if there ever was a thing, probably like you
Speaker 1: know you then you're like a young eighty. I mean
Speaker 1: both you both you guys are kind of in the
Speaker 1: same boat there, younger, more vibrant than you really are.
Speaker 1: And so I think Pete is probably saying, hey, if
Speaker 1: we if we get super lucky, super lucky, we can
Speaker 1: package our picks and be in on Deshaun Watson if
Speaker 1: that legal situation gets resolved, If we get super lucky,
Speaker 1: if at the very worst, we're gonna have a lot
Speaker 1: of picks, and if we like a quarterback this year
Speaker 1: or next year, we can draft one and then we
Speaker 1: will be on late three to five year trajectory to rebuild.
Speaker 1: Do you remember running the forty at the combine? Yes,
Speaker 1: I ran the forty at the combine. I was tired
Speaker 1: as hell, but I remember my time like the meal
Speaker 1: I eighth this morning. Okay, that time was and hopefully
Speaker 1: I got it right. Four eight five, Paulie, what do
Speaker 1: you have for Booker? Yeah, Booker McFarland out of LSU
Speaker 1: at the NFL Combine four eighty five, which one of
Speaker 1: one of the fastest all time. If he were one
Speaker 1: pound heavier that he waited in a two uter ninety
Speaker 1: nine pounds had waited at three hundred, you would have
Speaker 1: been at a group with one of the fastest three
Speaker 1: hundred plus pounders of all time in combine history. So
Speaker 1: here's here's a little backstory to that. We did a
Speaker 1: lot of testing. The forty times was the last thing
Speaker 1: we do. I was dark, tired, etc. I ran four
Speaker 1: to five at two ninety nine at my pro day,
Speaker 1: which was a month later, where the only thing I
Speaker 1: did was run. I waited at three or two and
Speaker 1: I ran in uh some waffle bottom track shoes that
Speaker 1: I had gotten from the track team. So at three
Speaker 1: o two there was a varying degree of times from
Speaker 1: four to five, nine to four to seven one that
Speaker 1: day point, Wow, that's impressive. And then then here's the thing.
Speaker 1: Then here's the thing you got to realize. I wasn't
Speaker 1: six six like Jordan Davis or three forty. So the
Speaker 1: thing that made my game really attractive to being a
Speaker 1: first round pick was I was short, thinking athletic things
Speaker 1: that normally don't go together. But if you look at
Speaker 1: the best defensive tackles, I would argue over the last
Speaker 1: twenty five years, I'm gonna name them. Not that I
Speaker 1: am in the category, because I'm not, but let's take
Speaker 1: a look at him. John Randall six two two eighty five,
Speaker 1: Warren Set six two two eighty five, two ninety Aaron
Speaker 1: Donald six one two eighty five. You follow me, like,
Speaker 1: the best guys aren't six six sixty seven. The best
Speaker 1: guys are those short, thick, extremely athletic defensive tackles. I know,
Speaker 1: but I look at him at six six. If he
Speaker 1: can't get to the quarterback just putting those hands up,
Speaker 1: and how he could disrupt that defensive line in a
Speaker 1: different way than what Aaron Donald does. Aaron Donald uses
Speaker 1: leverage and he gets to the quarterback. You know this kid,
Speaker 1: if he didn't get there, he's gonna put his hands
Speaker 1: up and at six six, gonna make it really difficult
Speaker 1: for you. I'll agree. I think where he's drafted is
Speaker 1: going to determine the expectations that we have for him.
Speaker 1: Let's look at Cleveland Farrell, who was drafted fourth ro
Speaker 1: raw by the Raiders. He's looked at as a bus
Speaker 1: not because he's not a really good player. He's just
Speaker 1: not a sad guy, and that's where you expect or
Speaker 1: that's what you expect him to be when you draft
Speaker 1: him fourth over raw. So I think the expectations are
Speaker 1: gonna be reluctant to where Jordan Davis is drafted. If
Speaker 1: he's if he's drafted in the top team based on
Speaker 1: a combined performance, it's gonna be a disappointment because he's
Speaker 1: never gonna be a sad guy. To me, he's Sean Rodgers.
Speaker 1: Remember Sean Rodgers that played for the Lions. Sean Rodgers
Speaker 1: played ten years. You know how many sacks he had
Speaker 1: in his career? Thirty seven, so three sacks a year.
Speaker 1: But Sean Rodgers was a good player. He was he
Speaker 1: was kind of dominant in his own way. Heloda Nada like,
Speaker 1: this is a type of player I think that Jordan
Speaker 1: Davis could be. But the one thing that concerns me
Speaker 1: about Jordan Davis, and I'm thinking if you ask any
Speaker 1: defensive lineman who goes back and watches the table, the
Speaker 1: biggest thing that I think that can deter him from
Speaker 1: being really good is he's got to be do it
Speaker 1: not on play one? Can he do it on play
Speaker 1: twenty four? Can he do it after he's had a
Speaker 1: meet Friday at home? Can he do it on play
Speaker 1: thirty nine on Sunday? Okay, that'll be the key, Dan,
Speaker 1: because he's got to be in shape. And it's hard
Speaker 1: to play four quarters at six six three forty one.
Speaker 1: It's hard. He's got to get in better shape because
Speaker 1: I can. I can show you take where he literally
Speaker 1: walks off the ball against Alabama and stands there and
Speaker 1: doesn't move like you have more movement now in your
Speaker 1: neck than he had on that play. And that's embarrassing
Speaker 1: for a guy who turned to combine upside down This
Speaker 1: weekend always great to talk to you, Booger. Thanks for
Speaker 1: joining us. We appreciate it anytime. Dan always I see
Speaker 1: my picture still hasn't gotten over your head, but I'm
Speaker 1: still efforting. Yeah, yeah, once again. You know you got
Speaker 1: a jersey, you got a picture. We will put it
Speaker 1: up here. We just don't want anything from Dan Orlmski
Speaker 1: because you know, yes, Marcus Spears trying to muscle his
Speaker 1: way in get some get something up here behind me.
Speaker 1: So just letting you know you're not the only defensive
Speaker 1: alignement I'm talking to. I love the jersey's on the way.

Speaker 1: in is probably the nineteen eighties, oh maybe late seventies. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm Polly. If it's not kiss on my list, i'd
Speaker 1: be shocked by Hall of Notates. Well, i'm gonna guess
Speaker 1: Billy Joel or Hall of Notes, and it's it's neither
Speaker 1: one of those shocking or even though a lot of
Speaker 1: those as to make me happy. I thought of Eye
Speaker 1: the Tiger by Survivor, and I thought of It Takes

Speaker 1: plus one. If Tony really was judging, I go all right.
Speaker 1: Seed O'Connor not exactly a happy kind of guy, but no, no,
Speaker 1: And actually my first happy song was gonna be a
Speaker 1: song by The Cure and I was just like, well, no,
Speaker 1: I can change that up. And then because then this
Speaker 1: came to me, and it's without a doubt, it's a
Speaker 1: great song. It's a great car sing along song. It's
Speaker 1: probably no not probably night not probably it's one of
Speaker 1: the greatest rock anthems of all time. This song Dan
Speaker 1: has seen a million faces and rocked every single one
Speaker 1: of them. Bon Jovi, ninety six, Rocket, Getting Weather and
