Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Our two on this Tuesday, Dan and the
Speaker 1: Dane's Dan Patrick Show. Once again, the front row is
Speaker 1: here in the man Cave. Fritzie is joining us via zoom.
Speaker 1: You can join us in a variety of blaze dial
Speaker 1: us up eight seven seven three D P show email
Speaker 1: address DP at Dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle at
Speaker 1: DP show. What if Arizona one last night, or better put,
Speaker 1: what if the Rams lost last night? What would we
Speaker 1: be talking about today? The Rams went all in on
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford, they overpaid for him, but instead the Rams
Speaker 1: look really good, and the Rams are going to Tampa,
Speaker 1: and the Rams are in great position to knock off
Speaker 1: Tom Brady in the Bucketeers because if Tom's favorite lineman,
Speaker 1: the all pro Tristan Worf's, is not able to play
Speaker 1: Boy now, all of a sudden, Aaron Donald and Von Miller,
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey, you might have a bigger impact then you
Speaker 1: were planning on. Plus, the offense is what I loved.
Speaker 1: I love the approach. I don't need Matthew Stafford to
Speaker 1: throw thirty five or forty times if I can get
Speaker 1: a balanced attack there. And I thought last night, it
Speaker 1: was a little bit more towards the running side than
Speaker 1: it was the passing side, even though I have Odell
Speaker 1: Beckham and Cooper Cup and Beckham was great last night,
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup with a touchdown. You know, you're just asking
Speaker 1: your offense to keep drives alive, you know, milk some
Speaker 1: of the clock because when that defense comes on the field,
Speaker 1: you want them to make plays and you have an
Speaker 1: impact there. And certainly against Tom Brady and Tampa putting
Speaker 1: pressure on him, You've already beaten him once and now
Speaker 1: with what's at stake, you've got a chance, a great chance. Now.
Speaker 1: I know the betting line started at two and a half,
Speaker 1: it went up to three, but that wouldn't scare me,
Speaker 1: even though I would never bet against Tom Brady. If
Speaker 1: you look at the Rams, with the way they're playing,
Speaker 1: I just need to know if they can put back
Speaker 1: to back good games together. That's been my big question
Speaker 1: with this team. As for Arizona, we've been talking about
Speaker 1: this and seems like the last six weeks eight weeks
Speaker 1: they went from everybody's like Darling here and Cliff Kingsbury
Speaker 1: maybe coach of the Year, but this is what they do.
Speaker 1: They have this pattern. And I remember at the halfway
Speaker 1: point or a little past that we were talking about Arizona.
Speaker 1: I say, I still don't know about them because we
Speaker 1: had MVP candidate and Kyler Murray and Coach of the
Speaker 1: Year candidate and Cliff Kingsbury. At the end of the year,
Speaker 1: neither did their job, neither looked like they were worthy
Speaker 1: of mention with those awards. There. Rams were the better
Speaker 1: team last night. I just didn't know that they were
Speaker 1: that much better than Arizona. They dominated them. Here's Cliff
Speaker 1: Kingsbury post game. There's only one way to experience the
Speaker 1: playoff football, and that's they go through it. And unfortunately
Speaker 1: we didn't, you know, player best game. And I thought
Speaker 1: LA played a great game, had a great plan and
Speaker 1: out played us and now coached us. But I think
Speaker 1: you just got to go through these moments and learn
Speaker 1: from it and grow from it and use as a motivation.
Speaker 1: Here's Kyler Murray after the loss. Prepare a week off season,
Speaker 1: you know, to be where we are, and then you know, again,
Speaker 1: they gave one competitive at all. So it's a disappointing
Speaker 1: that we didn't, you know, didn't make it a game,
Speaker 1: you know, and come out and play the football we
Speaker 1: know we're capable of playing. That's really the most disappointed part.
Speaker 1: And I can say, Okay, you didn't have DeAndre Hopkins,
Speaker 1: and yes he is a still an elite wide receiver,
Speaker 1: but I it's your team just based off DeAndre Hopkins.
Speaker 1: Because if that's the case, you're in trouble. You got
Speaker 1: to be a little bit more multidimensional than that. But
Speaker 1: they were non threatening. I mean that's really what it
Speaker 1: came down to last night. They were non threatening. But
Speaker 1: I did like what I saw with the Rams. The
Speaker 1: players that you need to make plays did make plays.
Speaker 1: I don't want to put all of this on Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 1: I don't want to rely on Matthew Stafford. I just
Speaker 1: need him to do a couple of things. First of all,
Speaker 1: we don't need turnovers. Second of all, you know, get
Speaker 1: as many people involved in the offense as possible. And
Speaker 1: if you have two running backs now and cam Acres
Speaker 1: and Sony Michelle, I love that. And you got defensive
Speaker 1: players who can make an impact that is going to
Speaker 1: make them a difficult out. I still lumped them in
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys because I thought you've got all of
Speaker 1: this star power, can you be consistent. Can you win
Speaker 1: back to back playoff games? Well, the Cowboys couldn't win
Speaker 1: their first game, but for the Rams it was a big,
Speaker 1: big win. Last night poll question for our two, Paulie,
Speaker 1: I got the results from our one. Okay, very creative.
Speaker 1: Which team felt the least playoff ish this weekend? The
Speaker 1: Eagles at forty percent, Steelers seventeen percent, and the Raiders
Speaker 1: only three percent. Raiders put up a good fight. Wait,
Speaker 1: what about the New England Patriots? Patriots fourteen percent, Cowboys
Speaker 1: only seven percent. No, the Cowboys to me, should have
Speaker 1: won that game, and they should be threatening. And I
Speaker 1: guess the Cowboys. You know, Jerry Jones and his son
Speaker 1: are all in on Mike McCarthy moving forward. And now
Speaker 1: it comes down to that tricky game of who are
Speaker 1: we gonna lose? Kellen Moore is going to be interviewing
Speaker 1: for openings. He's the offensive coordinator, and you're gonna have
Speaker 1: dan Quinn. Dan Quinn is probably going to be the
Speaker 1: number one candidate for the Denver Broncos, but he did
Speaker 1: he was a head coach before with the Falcons. You
Speaker 1: may lose both your offensive and defensive coordinator. Like this
Speaker 1: was the year. This was the year io green Bay's
Speaker 1: great um. I think Tampa can be had. This is
Speaker 1: this was your year with two good coordinators there, you
Speaker 1: got star power, you got young players making an impact,
Speaker 1: and you got to you gotta get past the opening
Speaker 1: round there with the Niners Seaton. If the Broncos hired
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn, does that help or hurt their chances of
Speaker 1: getting Aaron Rodgers or does that even factor in. I
Speaker 1: don't know if it factors in. I don't know a
Speaker 1: lot of things have to play out here. You know
Speaker 1: what happens this weekend against the Niners or in the
Speaker 1: NFC title Game or a Super Bowl. You know, I
Speaker 1: thought Aaron would come back this year. I didn't think
Speaker 1: he'd be back for next year. It's like Russell Wilson
Speaker 1: was going to be back this season. I didn't think
Speaker 1: he was going to be back for next season. I
Speaker 1: don't know how those play out, but it feels like
Speaker 1: if I'm Seattle or I'm green Bay, if you want
Speaker 1: to leave, then we want you to go to the AFC,
Speaker 1: and Denver would probably be well. I go back to
Speaker 1: the when they traded Von Miller, and I was told
Speaker 1: by a source they wanted draft picks. They want to
Speaker 1: trade draft picks to green Bay. Green Bay doesn't want players.
Speaker 1: Green Bay wants draft picks and the way they draft,
Speaker 1: that's why green Bay wants draft picks. And do I
Speaker 1: think Aaron Rodgers win or loses out of there? I
Speaker 1: still get that feeling. Although I wouldn't want to go
Speaker 1: into the AFC West, I'd certainly want to stay in
Speaker 1: the NFC North. The Office is streaming now exclusively on Peacock.

Speaker 1: sure that you ring in the new year with season
Speaker 1: four superfan episodes featuring completely new scenes and extended cuts.
Speaker 1: Sign up at Peacock tv dot com to stream now.
Speaker 1: We'll get to phone calls coming up. I mentioned that
Speaker 1: the Raiders parted ways with their general manager, Mike Mayock yesterday,
Speaker 1: and that completes the clean sweep of Mayok. John Gruden
Speaker 1: and the Raiders have had a lot of poor publicity
Speaker 1: in recent years. They made headlines Henry Ruggs, Damon Arnett, Gruden,
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, and publicity for all the wrong reasons. And
Speaker 1: the Gruden Mayock tandem brought some good football to Vegas,
Speaker 1: But whether the team was going to have issues. Whether
Speaker 1: that's on Ruden or Mayock, we'll never know, but as
Speaker 1: the leaders of the franchise, they were inevitably held accountable.
Speaker 1: And so now the search begins for a new GM,
Speaker 1: and that usually means the search begins for a new
Speaker 1: head coach. The new GM is gonna want to bring
Speaker 1: in his own guys, start fresh, and maybe maybe Derek
Speaker 1: Carr is there for the taking as well. I'm looking
Speaker 1: at head coaching odds right now. The number one candidate
Speaker 1: for the Jags is Bill O'Brien. Now this is Vegas
Speaker 1: saying this. I don't know how the teams feel about this,
Speaker 1: but this is just by Vegas. So Jacksonville, Bill O'Brien
Speaker 1: doesn't seem inspiring. Byron Leftwich, now it doesn't. It doesn't.
Speaker 1: The Dolphins, the number one candidate is Brian Dable of
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Brian Flores, formerly of the Dolphins, is
Speaker 1: tops on the Bears list according to Las Vegas Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 1: As I mentioned last hour, I was told that Eric
Speaker 1: bi Enemy felt like he was the leading candidate. Right
Speaker 1: now Vegas has him installed as the top choice. Brian
Speaker 1: Dabele is second there Doug Peterson is third, Kellen Moore
Speaker 1: is a distant fourth, the Houston Texans former Patriot, Jared
Speaker 1: Mayo Gerard Mayo, the former linebacker. Wow, he's had a
Speaker 1: meteoric rise, you guy, Gerard Mayo. Josh McDaniels is second
Speaker 1: on the list, and then Ryan Flores. Is there a
Speaker 1: chance that if Eric b Enemy doesn't get the Vikings job,
Speaker 1: he's not going to get a head coaching job? Now
Speaker 1: he's second on the Dolphins list as well. So if
Speaker 1: Brian Dable according to Vegas, if Dabel, would you happen
Speaker 1: to take the Vikings job, then b Enemy might be
Speaker 1: the guy, or vice versa. But I think Eric bi
Speaker 1: Enemy might be the clubhouse leader with the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 1: But this is just according to Las Vegas. A couple
Speaker 1: of phone calls in here. Let's see Nick and Ohio.
Speaker 1: Hi Nick, what's on your mind? Hey? Hey, Dan called
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago. I got to get to that.
Speaker 1: But first, how about my Bengals man? Yep, I was
Speaker 1: forty years I'm forty years old. I was nine the
Speaker 1: last time we want a playoff game. It's been a
Speaker 1: long thirty one years, but we finally exercise the demons
Speaker 1: with Bo Jackson. We're sorry, buddle. Now, now we got
Speaker 1: to exercise the next demon, which is the Tennessee Titans,
Speaker 1: who were the Houston Oilers last playoff win we had
Speaker 1: before last week. We're just taking them off the list now, baby,
Speaker 1: all right? Well, thank you Nick, thanks for calling in.
Speaker 1: By the way, you can go to the website. We
Speaker 1: have a Bengals inspired T shirt. There also an Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers T shirt as well. Mike and Florida. Hi, Mike,
Speaker 1: what's on your mind today? How are you doing? Lieutenant Dan?
Speaker 1: Thanks for taking my call. Thank you. A long time
Speaker 1: Rams fan and I was told not to mention the
Speaker 1: best of but here it is. Best of Monday was
Speaker 1: the Rams kicking ass last night. And the worst of
Speaker 1: it was how about the Eagles not ten handed me
Speaker 1: a home game? Couldn't they handle their business? Thanks to
Speaker 1: calling man, appreciate it. Thank you, Mike you called me.
Speaker 1: What was the second part of that? I don't know.
Speaker 1: It was all one word. It felt like something that
Speaker 1: the Eagles couldn't handle something he was gonna add something business.
Speaker 1: Thanks for calling. Thanks you going, Yes, I got a
Speaker 1: question if you're If you're Byron Leftwitch you're the offensive
Speaker 1: coordinator with Tampa Okays. He seems like a kind of
Speaker 1: hot prospect right now. If you're Tom Brady, do you
Speaker 1: push or promote him for jobs? Yes, but then you
Speaker 1: lose him? Yeah, but it's Tom has to if the
Speaker 1: right thing. Yeah, if he cares about Byron Leftwitch, then yeah,
Speaker 1: he would be promoting him. But wouldn't there be something
Speaker 1: inside to say, Man, I don't want to lose this
Speaker 1: guy yet. Things are going really smoothly down here. I
Speaker 1: may have one more year left. Can we wait a
Speaker 1: year Byron to leave? That'd be a tough one. If
Speaker 1: at the quarterback, Well, Tom had a great year as statistically,
Speaker 1: and I think Leftwich is going to be a head
Speaker 1: coach one day. But I would think a recommendation from time.
Speaker 1: You know, Tom has recommended guys to get into the
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. Taylor with the Dolphins, Jason Taylor, Tom,
Speaker 1: you know that was the letter of recommendation came from
Speaker 1: Tom with a divisional rival. And if Tom would say, Hey,
Speaker 1: if Jacksonville you want to you want to go now,
Speaker 1: this is a guy who can help develop your quarterback.
Speaker 1: That's that's what I need. I need to have great
Speaker 1: quarterback play with the Jags. I got to find out
Speaker 1: what I have here with Trevor Lawrence and Byron Leftwich
Speaker 1: being with Tom Brady. I like that. Now I am
Speaker 1: a broken record on this. There's certain guys who aren't
Speaker 1: head coaches. They're greatest coordinators, but as a head coach
Speaker 1: there's you know, there's completely different skills that are needed
Speaker 1: than just being a coordinator. Coordinator you just deal with
Speaker 1: the offense or the defense. There's special teams. Coach got
Speaker 1: to deal with everything and the media, draft pick, salary, cap,
Speaker 1: free agency. There's a whole lot attached to that. I
Speaker 1: don't know if Byron Leftwich, if you know, he's somebody's
Speaker 1: programmed that way. Maybe he's just an offensive minded guy
Speaker 1: as a former quarterback in college played in the NFL.
Speaker 1: But I would think a ringing endorsement for Tom Brady.
Speaker 1: Although we saw Patrick Mahomes do that with Eric b
Speaker 1: Enemy and it didn't help Eric b Enemy. Yes, Ton
Speaker 1: Paul's point, Kid Brady's recommendation, but you know what, in
Speaker 1: about two three years death, it's just not ready just yet.
Speaker 1: In the next few years when I'm retired, go after him. Okay,
Speaker 1: I like that. Yeah, Hey, you know, Byron goes to Tom, Hey,
Speaker 1: if you could put in a good word, sure, I'll
Speaker 1: do that. And then all of a sudden, Byron Leftwich
Speaker 1: tells his family, Hey, Tom's gonna put in a good word. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I just want to talk about Byron Leftwich being a
Speaker 1: head coach. I think in three years from now he's
Speaker 1: gonna be a really good head coach. He's a year away. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then you see Byron as you get off the
Speaker 1: podium and you go, how did I do you know? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And the Jaguars jab will be open every other year
Speaker 1: at the earliest. Bengals, Titans Saturday afternoon, Niners, Packers Saturday night,
Speaker 1: it'll be the Rams, Buccaneers Sunday afternoon, Bill's Chiefs Sunday night.
Speaker 1: Is weather going to be a factor in any of
Speaker 1: these matchups? Either rain or wind or snow? I got
Speaker 1: sixteen degrees at kickoff in Green Bay. I don't see snow.
Speaker 1: Little too chili for snow. Sixteen. Yeah, that's not bad, arrowhead.
Speaker 1: I got thirty eight degrees at kickoff, which is no
Speaker 1: big deal. Any rain in the How about Tennessee? What's
Speaker 1: going on in Nashville? I got thirty five degrees and clear.
Speaker 1: All right, what about Tampa? They had rain with the
Speaker 1: Eagles sixty four degrees in partly cloudy. Oh okay, all right,
Speaker 1: just how Tommy likes it? All right, we'll take a break.
Speaker 1: More phone calls coming up. Maurice Jones Drew, he works
Speaker 1: uh the RAMS broadcast on radio. Been a while since

Speaker 1: you want a freshee? Well no, why don't you give
Speaker 1: me the results? Is this the Kyler Murray poll question
Speaker 1: or the Kyler Murray eighty five percent? It was a quickie.
Speaker 1: Eighty five percent have a less of a view of
Speaker 1: him than they did before the game. Okay, they drop off. Okay,
Speaker 1: we're very reactionary, Yes we are. And then the second one,
Speaker 1: which team felt the least playoff ish and it was
Speaker 1: the Eagles? Okay, kind of they basically no show. Do
Speaker 1: you have another poll question moments away? Okay, thank you.
Speaker 1: That means he does. But that's okay, I'll buy you

Speaker 1: Network analyst. He also does the Rams radio color analyst
Speaker 1: as well. You can follow him Maurice Jones Drew on
Speaker 1: Twitter at m j D. How are you doing this morning.
Speaker 1: I'm doing I'm doing great. Actually, I finally got a
Speaker 1: chance to get a chance to call in and talk
Speaker 1: to you. It's been a while. Yeah, and uh, I
Speaker 1: appreciate you getting up early and after the game last night.
Speaker 1: What were your expectations last night? Um, you know, I
Speaker 1: think there were there were two times obviously this year
Speaker 1: the Rams split with the Cardinals. So you saw earlier
Speaker 1: in the year where the Cardinals were hot and defensively
Speaker 1: did a great job of you know, force and staff
Speaker 1: it off the spot and then you know, obviously getting
Speaker 1: interceptions and then on their side the ball that earlier
Speaker 1: in the year, Kyler Murray kind of took over the game.
Speaker 1: You youalized his legs running, and then there was a
Speaker 1: second time where the Rams kind of dominated from start
Speaker 1: to finish. And so it was a little concern when
Speaker 1: you saw JJ walk coming back, and you know, defensively,
Speaker 1: they they've done a really good job. Beans Joseph has
Speaker 1: done a really good job of getting those guys in
Speaker 1: the position to make plays. But if you watch the
Speaker 1: Cardinals down the stretch, they struggled the last five games.
Speaker 1: So expectation was that the Rams started fast. You know,
Speaker 1: you probably could jump on them and you know, get them,
Speaker 1: kind of get them out and have a little doubt
Speaker 1: set in their mind there. And that's what they did.
Speaker 1: It really started from the Rams defense, whose secondary was
Speaker 1: banged up. You're starting some guys that are Terrell bur
Speaker 1: just Nick Scott. Those are core special teams guys. When
Speaker 1: I'm starting at safety for the Rams, and kudos to
Speaker 1: Raheem Morris for getting those guys prepared, and and and
Speaker 1: Eric Weddle coming in after retirement. You know, to be
Speaker 1: honest with you, I told Sean McVay after the game,
Speaker 1: I kind of like joked around, but I was a
Speaker 1: little serious that if you guys keep getting retired, guys like,
Speaker 1: let me just let me know. It's like giggle shape,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like, you don't have to
Speaker 1: go too far. I'm right here calling the games for you.
Speaker 1: Another offense I've been watching um but no. Look, credit
Speaker 1: to those coaches and players for stepping up in a
Speaker 1: huge game and playing really well to get that first
Speaker 1: three and out and then get the ball and get
Speaker 1: some big explosive plays and then kind of start playing
Speaker 1: field position and go down and take the game over.
Speaker 1: Was huge. How important is the running game for the Rams? Oh,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's underrated, I think because when you
Speaker 1: see Matthew Stafford and Odell and Cooper Cup and those guys, like,
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, they gotta throw the ball, but you
Speaker 1: have to understand that offensive line needs to go forward
Speaker 1: and they need to be able to wait and lean
Speaker 1: on guys. They're they're a bigger group. They loved the
Speaker 1: zone scheme and what it does is it allows that
Speaker 1: that defense that kind of play on its hills a
Speaker 1: little bit with the play action pass and so with
Speaker 1: the dishy cam akers and you know, and like I said,
Speaker 1: I said this last night. No, no disrespect to Sony
Speaker 1: Michelle and Darryl Henison. They did a really good job
Speaker 1: this year. But cam Akers comes in, it looks different.
Speaker 1: And if you watch that game, the Rams just look
Speaker 1: different with cam Akers there with his explosiveness, his elusiveness. Uh,
Speaker 1: and then the way he finishes his runs like he
Speaker 1: finishes like Sony Michelle. And so when you got two
Speaker 1: guys that are gonna run downhill and break tackles and
Speaker 1: run through guys, uh, it kind of it takes his
Speaker 1: toll on a defense as you saw last night. Um.
Speaker 1: I'd also like to say this, I hope budda backer
Speaker 1: is okay. That was a big collision there. Um. And
Speaker 1: there are a couple of them in that game. And
Speaker 1: you know, you saw the Rams running backs fall forward.
Speaker 1: And so when you can run the ball the way
Speaker 1: the Rams did and you could utilize the play action pass,
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford had a clean pocket pretty much all night.
Speaker 1: And so and let's not forget that they have you know, uh,
Speaker 1: two premier pass rushers possibly three of Marcus Golden, Chandler
Speaker 1: Jones and JJ Watt there rushing the quarterback. And I
Speaker 1: don't think Stafford got touched all night. So um that
Speaker 1: that that that tells you how important that running game is.
Speaker 1: How does this Rams team match up with the Buccaneers. Um,
Speaker 1: I think they match up. Will I haven't really watched
Speaker 1: the Bucks last game, and before I had like to
Speaker 1: call gain. Let's try to go a couple of games
Speaker 1: back just to see how they're playing. Um. I know,
Speaker 1: obviously they're there. They had a lot of injuries going
Speaker 1: on there. Um, obviously the Antonio Brown situation. But you know,
Speaker 1: they still have Grinkowski, you still have the goat the
Speaker 1: greatest of all time, Tom Brady, you still have Mike Evans. Offensively,
Speaker 1: uh supposedly, we'll see if they get Leonard for netback. Um,
Speaker 1: but I think they match up well defensively for the Rams,
Speaker 1: they do a really good job of stopping the run.
Speaker 1: They have a guy that can lock up with Mike Evans.
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to figure out a way how you're
Speaker 1: gonna stop Gronkowski and then offense to you know, you
Speaker 1: know what the task is. And I think Todd Bowles
Speaker 1: and has done a great job. I think that m
Speaker 1: you know, they're gonna come out and kind of play man.
Speaker 1: I was just listening to what you're saying about the
Speaker 1: Eagles not being the the or the least ready team
Speaker 1: for the playoffs or something like that. Look, you gotta
Speaker 1: get off pressed, man. In the playoffs, right, people are
Speaker 1: gonna be simple. They want to play fast, and you know,
Speaker 1: if you're playing the Buccaneers, they're gonna get in your
Speaker 1: face and try to beat you up a little bit,
Speaker 1: and you have to be able to protect. And so
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a big part of the Rams getting
Speaker 1: that running game going and being able to protect so
Speaker 1: that you can get these receivers out in space and
Speaker 1: try to make some play. So it's I think it's
Speaker 1: a good matchup for the Rams. M But you got
Speaker 1: to go to Tampa and that's always tough to do
Speaker 1: to fly east to west and west to east. Excuse me,
Speaker 1: and get out there and play play a game in
Speaker 1: a different environment and climate. Maurice Jones drew NFL network
Speaker 1: analyst and works for the Rams, radio color analyst and
Speaker 1: former NFL running back. You could start your team with
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey, Aaron Donald von Miller in his prime, all
Speaker 1: of them in their prime. What do you want me
Speaker 1: to do? Pick one? Oh? No, there's no way. Why
Speaker 1: how can I pick one in their prime? They're all
Speaker 1: dominant in their prime. You're giving you pick one and
Speaker 1: I'll start a team with them. How about this? Give me?
Speaker 1: How give me what the Rams have now? Right? You
Speaker 1: see Von Miller show up big in the game, Aaron
Speaker 1: Donald shows up big. Dalen Ramsey's covering guys making plays.
Speaker 1: It's tough to it. I don't think you can lose
Speaker 1: with that in their prime. Right, yeah, but I'm asking
Speaker 1: you're gonna start your team. It's a fantasy draft. It's tough, man.
Speaker 1: I would have to you know, I'd have to say,
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald, did I think interior pressure is the hardest
Speaker 1: thing for a quarterback to deal with? Now you can
Speaker 1: double team him, yes, but still the guy dominates and
Speaker 1: changes games and seeing teams and triple teams, um, and
Speaker 1: you know what happens. Von Millard great job off the
Speaker 1: edge when he was in his prime. But a quarterback
Speaker 1: can kind of step up if you don't have that
Speaker 1: that pocket, uh, that pocket being pushed back to him.
Speaker 1: And then if you have Jaalen Ramsey, yeah, he shuts
Speaker 1: down half of the field. But if the quarterback has
Speaker 1: five or six seconds a throw. It kind of takes
Speaker 1: that away from him. So I think they all work together.
Speaker 1: But if I was going to pick one, it be
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald. Aaron Donald's the right call. Yeah, he did
Speaker 1: all right there, trying to put them on the spot. Man,
Speaker 1: he can't again do that. You know, that's my job. Man,
Speaker 1: I got to talk to those guys. I never hear this.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna have to answer to it. I
Speaker 1: never knew you to be afraid, oh never. It's not
Speaker 1: about being afraid. It's just, you know, I just don't
Speaker 1: like to I don't like you know, back in the
Speaker 1: day when I was much younger, I love confrontation. Now
Speaker 1: I'm as I get older and more wise, it's more
Speaker 1: about just enjoying the piece piece of mine. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: If I said Jane Jay Watt or Aaron Donald in
Speaker 1: their prime, I'm gonaak Aaron Donmard all day. I played
Speaker 1: j J. Watt in this prime? And how was then?
Speaker 1: He played for the He played for the Texas. He
Speaker 1: was a monster, but he played for the Texas. So
Speaker 1: I can't get them no respect. You know, did you
Speaker 1: ever talk to anybody on defense all the time? Talk
Speaker 1: to him all the time. Yeah, why wodn't I you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll tell you what. I'll tell you a
Speaker 1: quick story about J. J. Watt. We played him. I
Speaker 1: don't forget what year it was, but one time we
Speaker 1: played him in Houston. I swear it was like we've
Speaker 1: tried to block him with seven people, he still got
Speaker 1: to the quarter and I was just like, dude, like,
Speaker 1: come on, bro, this is too much. Like there's no
Speaker 1: way this new. This guy is just dominating all of us, right,
Speaker 1: And so we tried to block him with aid and
Speaker 1: I didn't work either. So we just figured we'll just
Speaker 1: do one on one and take our chances with my
Speaker 1: guy Blaine Gabby back there. You just got to scramble
Speaker 1: and get the ball out, uh Laane Gabbert as your quarterback.
Speaker 1: And I get to see Blaine this week. Yeah, it's amazing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but in the football life, man, I get to see
Speaker 1: my guy Blaine as we got him a Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm excited to get to learn behind Tom Brady.
Speaker 1: You know, it gets to compete there in Tampa. I
Speaker 1: love it. This is when football is all about. It's
Speaker 1: about competing and still seeing the guys that you went
Speaker 1: to battle with every day hanging out. I can't wait
Speaker 1: to take a picture with him and just say hello, Iver,
Speaker 1: I missed him. How much of a factor can Derrick
Speaker 1: Henry be coming back from what he came back from
Speaker 1: and then you dive right into a playoff game? Oh?
Speaker 1: I mean listen, I've always told people this about Derek Henry.
Speaker 1: They always say, like rate running backs, and they're like,
Speaker 1: why don't you ever talk about Derek here. I was like,
Speaker 1: he's got a running back. He's a unicorn. You'll never
Speaker 1: see that again. You'll never see anyone six three two
Speaker 1: and fifty pounds that big, that fast. Blame the football.
Speaker 1: So it's late, it's still late in the year, and
Speaker 1: he's had a couple of weeks of practice which he
Speaker 1: should be good to go. He may have a little
Speaker 1: rust early in the game, but this is the thing
Speaker 1: the incat Bengals. Don't stop his feet early. If you
Speaker 1: don't get him to like stutter his steps within the
Speaker 1: first couple of yards of the line of scrimmage, you
Speaker 1: gonna have a long day because he's just gonna run
Speaker 1: down hill. That's all he's gonna do is just keep
Speaker 1: running down hill. And by the time the game's over,
Speaker 1: he'll break a long one. Um. I know his foot
Speaker 1: injury is a tough one, but you know with the
Speaker 1: way you know technology is and surgeries and guys who
Speaker 1: saw cam Maker just came back from Achilles in like
Speaker 1: six months, Like, all right, he'll be fine. And to me,
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a he's gonna be a handful in
Speaker 1: the playoffs, he's gonna be a handful. Knowledge, he's gonna
Speaker 1: be a handful. A j Brown will be a handful.
Speaker 1: And Julio's gonna show up as well in a timely situation.
Speaker 1: I guarantee it, because they don't they don't need Julio.
Speaker 1: But he gives him that like you're gonna single, You're
Speaker 1: just gonna cover whoo one on one. Okay, Well, he's
Speaker 1: gonna get a jump ball here. So the addition to
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry in that running game is gonna be something
Speaker 1: that teams are gonna have to deal with. In Cincinnati's
Speaker 1: first up with it, Well, Tom Brady know your name.
Speaker 1: If he sees you, come on, come on, man, are
Speaker 1: you kidding me? You don't think me and Tom? Me
Speaker 1: and Tom were from the same area. We've talked. Tom
Speaker 1: knows me Okay, I just I you know, I'm just curious. No, man,
Speaker 1: see now, you know you you you you act as
Speaker 1: if I just you know, I just called games on
Speaker 1: radio for the Rams, and then I worked for NFL.
Speaker 1: Now as if we weren't peers. You know, there was
Speaker 1: one time, there's a story one time I was working
Speaker 1: at the NFL. They were playing the Giants, and Tom
Speaker 1: looked me in my eyes and he said, Maurice, how
Speaker 1: have you been? And I'm looked to Tom like, hey man,
Speaker 1: how are you bearing? And you want to hear a
Speaker 1: funny story about it? You know, you wouldn't know why
Speaker 1: Tom knows me more than anything. Tom's uncle, Chris was
Speaker 1: my principal in high school, so Tom really knows me.
Speaker 1: And Tom were kind of like that. You know, we're
Speaker 1: we're kind of close, closer than you would think, numb.
Speaker 1: You know, we got family ties. My apologies, okay, just
Speaker 1: try to make sure you know that's and then all
Speaker 1: of these the football stuff. He gonna know me regardless,
Speaker 1: but we got family ties there. By the way, what
Speaker 1: what size is your neck? I don't know, man, I'm
Speaker 1: trying to lose it. I think it was at one
Speaker 1: point it was like an eighteen and a half nineteen.
Speaker 1: So I'm trying to get, you know, to regular size.
Speaker 1: What's a regular neck? What size is a regular neck? Uh?
Speaker 1: Probably a fifteen sixteen? Okay, So I'm gonna try to
Speaker 1: get down there. I'm gonna try to get you know,
Speaker 1: I may want I may even get skinnier than that.
Speaker 1: I may try to go to like a twelve. How
Speaker 1: do you how do you lose weight in your neck? Uh? Well,
Speaker 1: I think it's you know, what you eat and doing
Speaker 1: a lot of neck exercises. Possibly, I think you go
Speaker 1: from from traps to ears. You don't really have a neck.
Speaker 1: You know. I was, and I tell people this, I
Speaker 1: was bred for football. You know, some people are bred
Speaker 1: for other things. Your boy, I was built. I was
Speaker 1: creating a lab, my mother's lab, to play football. What's
Speaker 1: your official height and weight? Uh? Like right now? Or
Speaker 1: like when I played playing weight? Playing weight? Oh? Oh,
Speaker 1: I was like five to seven two o eight between
Speaker 1: two o eight and two thirteen. Oh, you seem to
Speaker 1: play bigger than that. Again, like Derek Henry, I was
Speaker 1: a unicorn. You know. You can't just put his running backs,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? I know what it's like
Speaker 1: to be a unicorn in the game. All right, Well,
Speaker 1: good luck you know. I hope you and Tom get
Speaker 1: to renew old acquaintances there. And always great to hear
Speaker 1: from you. I always going to hear from you as well.
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. And hey, go Rams, thank you. That's Mojoe.

Speaker 1: Was that the Miami Super Bowl when we first met him.
Speaker 1: When he came to our set, Dallas or Miami, I
Speaker 1: thought it was Miami. We were at the Clevelander, okay,
Speaker 1: And he showed up and there was no no pr people,
Speaker 1: no on, no just no thing. He just kind of
Speaker 1: walked up to the set and sat down. And we've
Speaker 1: enjoyed his friendship for a long long time. He was
Speaker 1: asking for advice when he was going to get engaged.
Speaker 1: I remember one time he was asking me what he
Speaker 1: should do. Yeah. Point didn't we have him on from
Speaker 1: Egypt right after he got engaged. Yeah, called it from Egypt. Yeah.
Speaker 1: He had a really good career, eight thousand rushing yards,
Speaker 1: three time Pro bowler, and he didn't play for good
Speaker 1: teams either. No, but and didn't he did he get hurt? Yeah?
Speaker 1: After the two thousand and eleven season he started getting
Speaker 1: banged up. Twenty eleven, he had three hundred forty three
Speaker 1: carries for sixteen hundred yards. He also had three hundred
Speaker 1: fifty catches of his career. Real nice career. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, we'll take a break. Phone calls coming up.
Speaker 1: That looks like the Lakers could be could be in
Speaker 1: store for a new head coach. Here feels like Frank

Speaker 1: Discover exceptionally common sense. All right, here's the news from
Speaker 1: the athletic. Frank Vogel narrowly avoided being fired in the
Speaker 1: wake of the thirty seven point loss in Denver on Saturday.
Speaker 1: Sources tell Sam Ammick and Bill oorm It's unclear how
Speaker 1: much Monday's win over the Jazz, relieve the pressure that
Speaker 1: surrounds him. If they lost to Utah, just thank Vogel
Speaker 1: lose his job. Is it a game by game? If
Speaker 1: it's a game by game situation, then fire him, like
Speaker 1: be fair to him. If if they if the Jazz
Speaker 1: somehow go on a eight eight to nothing run and
Speaker 1: they end up winning that game, then Frank Vogel loses
Speaker 1: his job. I mean, just fire him. But that's according
Speaker 1: to the Athletic that he was coaching for his job
Speaker 1: last night their Monday night. Yeah, did he forget how
Speaker 1: to coach? Seemed to be doing a pretty good job here.
Speaker 1: He's the reason why they're a five hundred team, he is.
Speaker 1: What if they lose to the Pacers tomorrow night, are
Speaker 1: they back on the day to game to game basis
Speaker 1: or is that a home game against the Pacers? Yeah, Paully, Yeah.
Speaker 1: The Lakers last three games, they lost to Memphis, they
Speaker 1: lost to the Kings, and they got smoked by the Nuggets.
Speaker 1: And the day after a couple hours after, Lebron actually
Speaker 1: posted an apology for that. I'm not big on athletes
Speaker 1: apologizing unless you weren't trying or don't apologize. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: apologize to Frank Vogel when he gets fired. Sorry, sorry,
Speaker 1: we let you down. Lakers home against the Pacers. Then
Speaker 1: they go on the road, a long road trip Orlando, Miami, Brooklyn, Philly, Charlotte, Atlanta. Yes,
Speaker 1: you know that talk of James Harden going to Philadelphia
Speaker 1: is resurfacing. It's it's it's been lingering there a long
Speaker 1: time because Daryl Morey had James in Houston and now
Speaker 1: that he's the gym in Philadelphia, and you know, will
Speaker 1: the Nets take Ben Simmons? That's you know, you've got
Speaker 1: to get a swap here with salaries, and it just
Speaker 1: feels like that is still lingering there, that somehow the
Speaker 1: seventy sixers could get James Harden and Ben Simmons. If
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons doesn't get traded, ben Simmons doesn't play the
Speaker 1: rest of the year, he would he would take the
Speaker 1: entire year off. Yeah, Polly, I don't want to be
Speaker 1: mean spirited here, but do we would you like to
Speaker 1: play the Frank Vogel game. What's the Frank Vogel game?
Speaker 1: You know, sounds like we're playing the Frank Vogel game.
Speaker 1: No offense, of course, he makes more than me. He's
Speaker 1: doing five. Um. The Los Angeles Lakers play at the
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Nets one week from today. Oh are you gonna
Speaker 1: Will he be the coach or none? Will he be
Speaker 1: the coach? January twenty fifth, National TV t NT Lakers
Speaker 1: at Nets. We don't know who's playing in that game,
Speaker 1: believe me, but we don't who's coaching. Remember Jason Kidd
Speaker 1: was the coach in waiting that they hired him, and
Speaker 1: we thought, well, it's a matter of well Jason kidds
Speaker 1: in Dallas, that's not gonna happen. Who's on the staff
Speaker 1: there that they could promote? They got, They got a
Speaker 1: couple of assistant coaches who have head coaching experience. Luke
Speaker 1: Walton's available. Yeah, I don't think that's good. Frank Vogel,
Speaker 1: Oh oh this is well, no offense, nothing nothing against
Speaker 1: Frank Vogel. We like him. He's been on the show.
Speaker 1: He's a good guy. Well, we do not want to
Speaker 1: get fired. David Fisdale, Oh fisonator, Yeah, Okay, Miles Simon
Speaker 1: is up on the squad. You know. I talked to
Speaker 1: Doug Gottlieb about Miles and he said, Miles is going
Speaker 1: to be a head coach one day in the NBA,
Speaker 1: and I always go back to that national title game
Speaker 1: when Arizona won the national title and he wouldn't do
Speaker 1: an interview with me after the game because he said
Speaker 1: the media didn't think we could win the National championship.
Speaker 1: And I remember going to lud Olson, his coach, and
Speaker 1: I said, Miles tends he thinks that I represent the
Speaker 1: media and that you know, we didn't think Arizona could win.
Speaker 1: And he goes, he's not talking to you. I go no,
Speaker 1: and then he goes, I'll talk to him. And Miles
Speaker 1: never did the interview with me after the game. But
Speaker 1: I always found that curious that it was like, you
Speaker 1: didn't pick us, and I go, uh, my job is
Speaker 1: not to pick I'm trying to avoid playing the Frank Vogel.
Speaker 1: It meanspirity. We don't want anyone to get fired. It
Speaker 1: do you fire somebody on the road, do you fire
Speaker 1: somebody at home? Well? No, I mean I'm being serious, Like,
Speaker 1: if you don't want Frank Vogel to be your coach,
Speaker 1: if if he's if he could have lost his job
Speaker 1: last night, then firing yes, he is it a fired
Speaker 1: on the plane ride home situation. Would you rather be
Speaker 1: fired in Orlando, Miami or Brooklyn? Socially like, you can
Speaker 1: go out Miami, Yeah, Miami. I'd rather get fired in Orlando.
Speaker 1: You can have the kids come pick off a couple
Speaker 1: of Disney days to get the park Hopper passes. Yeah, yes, Todd,
Speaker 1: Depending on how you may take the news. Fire a
Speaker 1: coach at home. He can go home to his family
Speaker 1: and they can be upset together. You don't do it.
Speaker 1: He's gonna first fly with this on his head that
Speaker 1: he lost his job. What is it gonna tell the
Speaker 1: wife on a cross country flight, especially if you're after
Speaker 1: the Nets game. Just wait. The least you could do
Speaker 1: is do it at home so he can just be
Speaker 1: in his own bed and deal with the fact that
Speaker 1: he's no longer the coach. Thank you to it back
Speaker 1: to you in the studio. Well, I think if you're
Speaker 1: gonna do it firing before the road trip, that's all.
Speaker 1: Just if you're at that point, then fire. I mean
Speaker 1: then everybody is going to be asking him question every stop, Hey,
Speaker 1: are you coaching for your job? Do you feel like
Speaker 1: you're coaching for your job? Why are you coaching for
Speaker 1: your job? Every stop? That's not fair to him. Not fair. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you're Rob Plank of the GM, you're getting on
Speaker 1: the team bus to go to the plane, No, I
Speaker 1: know it. Raise your hand if you're heading to Orlando
Speaker 1: with a team. Not so fast coach, Frank, No, you
Speaker 1: don't make a bit out of it. Oh you're not
Speaker 1: saying I'm saying it. Yeah. I like Frank bog least
Speaker 1: seems like No, it's I thought that he didn't get
Speaker 1: enough credit when they won. Now he's gonna get more
Speaker 1: blamed because they're not winning. Yeah. I once sent next
Speaker 1: to a fired head coach. I think I've told you
Speaker 1: this before. It was NSAY Tournament years ago. Remember John
Speaker 1: Calipari was fired by the New Jersey Nets. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: got fired that morning and he went in to clean
Speaker 1: out his office and there were games at the Continental
Speaker 1: Center whatever the met Lands Arena. Yeah. I end up
Speaker 1: sitting next to him and a couple other guys and
Speaker 1: he just got fired, and they're like, what are you
Speaker 1: doing here? I was cleaning out my office. I saw
Speaker 1: there's games going on. He went and watched the games.
Speaker 1: He had his meal money, like he had like a
Speaker 1: couple of thousand dollars worth of meal money. They gave
Speaker 1: him cash and he starts spending it buying stuff like
Speaker 1: from the vendors and giving up to people in the stands.
Speaker 1: It was weird. John Caliparty had just been fired, and
Speaker 1: you wonder what could have happened if John Calipari drafted
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant, because didn't they take Carry Kittles and and
Speaker 1: you know, and the story was that Kobe was not
Speaker 1: going to go, you didn't want to play there, and
Speaker 1: maybe he wouldn't ever, you know, they would have had
Speaker 1: to trade his rights. But or if Rick had gotten
Speaker 1: Tim Duncan, like how careers would have changed. I mean
Speaker 1: if if Calaparry gets Kobe with the nets instead of
Speaker 1: carry Kittles, or Pettino gets Tim Duncan, the impact that
Speaker 1: that would have on everybody's career amazing. Mike and Dayton, Hey, Mike,
Speaker 1: thanks for holding what's on your mind? Hey? How we
Speaker 1: do it? Dan? Great? Mike, awesome Dans Saul say, Hey,
Speaker 1: I just want to get your guys the thoughts on
Speaker 1: the sasquatch signing up there in Buffalo. Had Ryan pat
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick partying in the stands with Bills Mafia shirtless
Speaker 1: Charon for a win. I loved it. Fritzie reached out
Speaker 1: to him. We wanted to get him on. But he's
Speaker 1: up there. He bought a ticket to the game. He's shirtless,
Speaker 1: and I don't know if his career is over, but
Speaker 1: he does play. I think technically are still a member
Speaker 1: the Washington football team. But he was up there and
Speaker 1: he wanted to experience the Bills mafia and watch that
Speaker 1: game against the Patriots. Like you look at it and
Speaker 1: you go, that's photo shopped, and then you go, but
Speaker 1: that guy really looks like Ryan Fitzpatrick, and then you go,
Speaker 1: that is Ryan Fitzpatrick. Yeah, Paul, it wouldn't be great
Speaker 1: if a guy like him just called up the Bill
Speaker 1: and said, you know, make me your backup quarterback for
Speaker 1: the next three years, pay me the league minimum. I'll
Speaker 1: just hang out here. Yeah, he's not playing. You got
Speaker 1: Mitchell Trubisky there. He's not going to beat him though.
Speaker 1: Trus White hot and the offseason absolutely. Absolutely. You can't
Speaker 1: help but think when a coach gets fired, is there
Speaker 1: a scenario worse than what happened to Lane Kiffin? Like
Speaker 1: everybody on the team plane, Uh no, Lane, you're here,
Speaker 1: you stay on the tarmac. He got fired in an
Speaker 1: office at the airport, like, hey, come on in what security?
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, come on in. You won't be joining
Speaker 1: us as we head back to campus. TENJ. Watt coming
Speaker 1: up one more item we close out hour two. The
