Speaker 1: You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Welcome to a Wednesday, Good Morning Dan and
Speaker 1: the Dan Ens Dan Patrick Show. Glad to be part
Speaker 1: of your day. Stay as long as you like. You
Speaker 1: can watch on Peacock. You can listen on our great
Speaker 1: radio affiliates around the country numbering three hundred and seventy six.
Speaker 1: You can dial us up eight seven seven three d
Speaker 1: P Show email address DP at dan Patrick dot com,
Speaker 1: Twitter handle it DP show. Dodgers handled the Rays eight
Speaker 1: three mookie bets with a nice night and Clayton Kershaw
Speaker 1: as well. Game two coming up tonight to a Tonga
Speaker 1: Bayoloa named the Dolphins starter. That happened in the final
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes of the show, and we'll dive into those topics.
Speaker 1: Coming up. Bruce Arians, the Tampa Bay head coach, will
Speaker 1: join us. Coming up in a little bit, we'll check
Speaker 1: in with the Cowboys. We've got some drama. We'll check
Speaker 1: in with the Dolphins as well, and we'll recap what
Speaker 1: happened Game one of the World Series and look ahead
Speaker 1: to Game two. Sometimes it's good to remember narratives in
Speaker 1: legacy are not written in ink. Sometimes they're written in pencil.
Speaker 1: And over the years, we know Clayton Kershaw has struggled
Speaker 1: in the postseason, but he's gradually improving. Last night he
Speaker 1: appeared to put his World Series struggles behind him, at
Speaker 1: least for the moment, as he gave the Dodgers six
Speaker 1: strong innings eight three win over the Rays, and it's
Speaker 1: good to see Kershaw be the Kershaw the regular season.
Speaker 1: He did give up a solo home run in the fifth.
Speaker 1: I thought, if you got five innings out of him,
Speaker 1: five solid innings, just give him that confidence to send
Speaker 1: him into that next start that he's going to have.
Speaker 1: He struck out eight. He fooled the Tampa batters all
Speaker 1: night long. It helped that the Dodgers gave him some
Speaker 1: offensive support so he could be a little bit more aggressive.
Speaker 1: You know. It wasn't one of those one run games
Speaker 1: where you get a little too cute there and then
Speaker 1: you get burned. But last night we saw Clayton Kershaw,
Speaker 1: not a watered down version. And depending on how long
Speaker 1: this series go, we'll see Kershaw again and he can
Speaker 1: continue to rewrite his postseason legacy or at least give
Speaker 1: us a couple of new chapters there, which was good
Speaker 1: to see here is the manager Dave Roberts on Kershaw
Speaker 1: being pulled in the sixth inning. I mean, you just
Speaker 1: figure he's gonna be on regular for his next start.
Speaker 1: So you got an eight one lead and you know
Speaker 1: with nine outs ago, we got to be able to
Speaker 1: protect it. Here is Clayton Kershaw talking about last night's victory.
Speaker 1: It's great to get this series going with a win.
Speaker 1: You know, it's the biggest thing, you know, for us
Speaker 1: is to get going, get that first game. It's always
Speaker 1: important to get that first game of the series. And
Speaker 1: just for me personally, it's awesome. You know, we get
Speaker 1: to pitch well, I'm gonna win in the World Series.
Speaker 1: Like I said, I'm just thankful for another opportunity. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that went perfect for the Dodgers. You got their
Speaker 1: big time players starting out well. Kershaw pitched well. You
Speaker 1: didn't want to burn the bullpen. And you know, this
Speaker 1: is a Tampa roster that is probably the deepest pitching staff.
Speaker 1: I thought. The reason why I picked Tampa to go
Speaker 1: to the World Series is because how deep their pitching
Speaker 1: staff was. The reason why I had the Dodgers going
Speaker 1: to the World Series in winning is because of their offense.
Speaker 1: Any kind of good pitching that the Dodgers can give
Speaker 1: you consistent pitching to go along with that hitting. Although
Speaker 1: the bats haven't been great the last series, Corey Seeger
Speaker 1: was the big bat. I you know, I love that
Speaker 1: people are seeing Mookie Bets. I told you a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago he was one of the few players
Speaker 1: that I would pay to see when he was in
Speaker 1: Boston and he had a breakout game. He's had a
Speaker 1: couple of great moments. He's a wonderful outfielder. And he
Speaker 1: had the audacity to steal a bass last night. Nick
Speaker 1: Loven the what are the analytics think about that? Giving
Speaker 1: away runs? Yeah, he's stole a bass last night. Oh
Speaker 1: and that made the difference in an eight three game. Well,
Speaker 1: John Smoltz did say, sometimes you shake up the picture
Speaker 1: when you start to steal basses. I don't know that's
Speaker 1: John Smolts, who is a Hall of Famer mclovin. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I don't see John Smolts running any teams in
Speaker 1: the world. So I see him announced. He's a great announcer,
Speaker 1: but I don't see him GMing anybody anywhere. I think
Speaker 1: John Smolts has more posh season stolen bases than any
Speaker 1: picture in history. He's got three, so he is a
Speaker 1: little bit of an expert there. But you know there
Speaker 1: there are children watching the game last night that they
Speaker 1: probably said to their parents, what was that? Well that
Speaker 1: that's called a stolen base, Jimmy, Well, you're right. He's
Speaker 1: a game started at eight and what time did it end?
Speaker 1: Was at three forty five in the morning. I can't
Speaker 1: even remember it still going on. Now, Well, that's because
Speaker 1: everybody's up there. You know, they want to swing and
Speaker 1: hit home runs or they strike count. Oh so, guy,
Speaker 1: you have a Ricky Henderson on first base. There's nine
Speaker 1: throws over there. That's not exactly speeding up the game. Well,
Speaker 1: why throw over there if nobody's stealing. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: If you go back to stolen bases, it's going to
Speaker 1: get even while your games, they're gonna throw over to first.
Speaker 1: That's the most boring play in sports. This award nominated

Speaker 1: NBC Sports MCL. Do you have a poll question today?
Speaker 1: I have some options. All right, Okay, if Clayton Kershaw
Speaker 1: loses his next game, will we all go back to
Speaker 1: talking about his postseason? Fairly? Well? How how is he
Speaker 1: going to lose? Say he really falls apart, knowing how
Speaker 1: we are as like media in a country, Well, well
Speaker 1: we just go right back to it. Are we done?
Speaker 1: Probably about it? No, I think it'll still be there.
Speaker 1: I think it's it's usually it feels like it's always
Speaker 1: one start away from coming back with Clayton Kershaw. It's
Speaker 1: not fair, maybe, but it's the reality. And the reason
Speaker 1: is if you juxtapose the postseason to the regular season,
Speaker 1: he's one hundred games over five hundred in the regular season.
Speaker 1: He's one of the great all time great pitchers. But
Speaker 1: it's just you get to the postseason and he's had
Speaker 1: these innings, he's had one or two innings and that
Speaker 1: decides how you know his fate that he can be
Speaker 1: really good, and then it's one inning that trips him up.
Speaker 1: And he gave up the home run last night, and
Speaker 1: I just said, get through five and then that's it,
Speaker 1: because I, even I don't care how good you are,
Speaker 1: you can lose your confidence. And then you get into
Speaker 1: the sixth inning and I'm like, Okay, if he gets
Speaker 1: through this, now I know then he's not going to
Speaker 1: be pitching anymore. Now you get the confidence and you're
Speaker 1: answering a different type of question after the game, which
Speaker 1: is really important, certainly for Kershaw, because if you go
Speaker 1: what happened? You know you you you know you bombed,
Speaker 1: you got blown up, you know they roughed you up. Well,
Speaker 1: what happened? Now you get somebody who's saying, wow, they
Speaker 1: were swinging and missing, like what were you doing? Differently,
Speaker 1: now you're asking him something where he can be proud
Speaker 1: of what his answer is going to be, not trying
Speaker 1: to explain something that might not be explainable. Yeah, McClelland
Speaker 1: when PAULI said out of text last night to the
Speaker 1: group saying would you have pulled him after the fifth inning?
Speaker 1: And Todd, with a great answer, said well, if he
Speaker 1: lets up a couple of walks and hits, then I'd
Speaker 1: pull him. Thank you Todd. One or the other like
Speaker 1: I was, yeah, you can't say, well, if he does this,
Speaker 1: then i'd play should have got to the point said yeah,
Speaker 1: I would start him the sixth inning, But I elaborated
Speaker 1: and said when I would take him out during this
Speaker 1: I had a good dig at him. I said, if
Speaker 1: they walked to baseloaded, lets up a grand slam, then
Speaker 1: I'd give him another batter or two and see where
Speaker 1: he is. Shouldn't they have pulled him after five like
Speaker 1: last night? I think we were pretty torn even to
Speaker 1: give him that sixth inning. I just knew what I had.
Speaker 1: I was fine with that, and I think Kershaw would
Speaker 1: have been fine with that. Dave Roberts would have been
Speaker 1: fine with that. But if you're Kershaw and your manager
Speaker 1: sends you out for the sixth inning, that kind of
Speaker 1: emboldens you a little bit, like, Okay, you know, Skips
Speaker 1: still got confidence in me there. And plus you know,
Speaker 1: you score a couple of runs and you're you're more aggressive.
Speaker 1: You're not worried. Boy, if I give up one big hit,
Speaker 1: we could lose this game. He was able to go
Speaker 1: at Tampa. Tampa is not good at getting on base.
Speaker 1: They're not an on base team on base percentage. And
Speaker 1: you know, if Kershaw can make sure that you don't
Speaker 1: walk guys that way. If they do hit a home run,
Speaker 1: it's a solo home run. Yes to. They're the first
Speaker 1: team to get all the way to the World Series
Speaker 1: and not be good at getting base Runners's vin big wiz.
Speaker 1: That's me being cute. Just now. Rais don't really score
Speaker 1: and they don't play baseball well. But there are four
Speaker 1: games away from big World Chips. That's not really why
Speaker 1: I raised my hand. I've raised my hand wondering if
Speaker 1: you were worried where curse I gave up the home
Speaker 1: run and he zoom gun on him and he looked
Speaker 1: up at the skylet God please. Well, of course I am. Yes,
Speaker 1: I would have been worried. Your first comment was way
Speaker 1: better than yeah. I would have stayed with that. I raised,
Speaker 1: don't get on base they just can't score. Yeah, when
Speaker 1: you go back to being serious and asking a question,
Speaker 1: that's not any good. How about those doritos locos tacos?
Speaker 1: Todd comes in first, right to it, the first thing
Speaker 1: he says. So he comes in, we're just sitting around,
Speaker 1: we're getting ready for a morning meeting, and he goes
Speaker 1: man Joe buck boy. I got tired of him talking
Speaker 1: about those tacos and I go. So that's what you
Speaker 1: took away from the game last night. I love Joe Buck.
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering if there's someone constantly in his ears saying,
Speaker 1: I know, we got to pay the bills. Well, here's
Speaker 1: the Hall of Famer John Small. It's just like he goes,
Speaker 1: he's the Hall of Famer, Troy. I'm Joe Buck. Someone's
Speaker 1: getting tacos tonight. And if they get a double steel
Speaker 1: here with Mookie, I'm wondering if it's I don't want
Speaker 1: to get legally in trouble. I think it's twice as
Speaker 1: many tacos for everybody. On October twenty eight, Yes, so
Speaker 1: Joe Buck was in a position where there was a
Speaker 1: steel I think an ending three. And once that steel happens,
Speaker 1: he's got to announce that taco bell has given away
Speaker 1: at De Rito's Locos to at all their sites on
Speaker 1: October twenty second row. But then they called it a
Speaker 1: wild pitch and removed the steel. So we need to
Speaker 1: retract his taco offer. And you know, even you know,
Speaker 1: everyone was upset. Smaltz was upset, the Meerica was upset,
Speaker 1: and then he then he there's a steel, oh, I know,
Speaker 1: And then Todd was upset, like you, this somehow really
Speaker 1: bothered Muns. He fouls it off and he's got a
Speaker 1: Mookie's got to go back to second base. No taco yet.
Speaker 1: It's ironic because Todd loves fast food, but just not
Speaker 1: go to Taco Bell. He don't. I go everywhere else
Speaker 1: you could possibly imagine, but I really don't do the
Speaker 1: Taco Bell, del Taco anything. What other poll questions are
Speaker 1: we considering? Okay, Polly put out there was it the
Speaker 1: right time now for the Dolphins to bench Ryan Fitzpatrick
Speaker 1: for Tua? Was the right decision? Yes? Or no? Okay,
Speaker 1: you can't wait for the results. We can't wait like
Speaker 1: five weeks and go yeah, I told you it was
Speaker 1: the right move, or I told you they stayed with
Speaker 1: fitz Magic. I understand why they made the move. I
Speaker 1: just want to know if he's healthy. If you say
Speaker 1: he's healthy, then this is the right move. And I'm
Speaker 1: assuming he is one healthy because I thought Week eleven
Speaker 1: was when they were going to put him in the
Speaker 1: starting lineup. That was their bye week. I think the
Speaker 1: Dolphins internally probably thought the same thing. Let's let Fitzpatrick
Speaker 1: get us through the bulk of the season Week eleven,
Speaker 1: we put two in. Maybe we're you know, in line
Speaker 1: for a playoff spot, maybe we're not, but I want
Speaker 1: to make sure he's healthy. And I think the Dolphins
Speaker 1: putting him in against the Jets last week opened my
Speaker 1: eyes to Okay, he is ready to play. And you know,
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick and we've seen him have some pretty incredible games,
Speaker 1: but he is right now a placeholder and he knows that,
Speaker 1: and I think that and nobody was more excited, you know,
Speaker 1: when Twa came in than Fitzpatrick, even when he had
Speaker 1: his first completion. So he knows it. And it's similar
Speaker 1: to Kurt Warner when he was with the Jets with Eli,
Speaker 1: they were I think a five and four team and
Speaker 1: Eli got inserted into the starting lineup and then that
Speaker 1: was it. Kurt Warnerd's starting days were done and then
Speaker 1: he ended up landing with Arizona to finish up with
Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame career. But you know, Fitzpatrick knows
Speaker 1: what his job is. I'd keep him there. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: trade him. People say, well, what could you get for Fitzpatrick.
Speaker 1: I don't know, like Dallas is going to trade for Fitzpatrick.
Speaker 1: I don't think so, but I don't know. I didn't
Speaker 1: know there was a market for him. The teams that
Speaker 1: are good are fine with their quarterbacks. The teams that
Speaker 1: are bad want to continue to be bad. I think
Speaker 1: I don't know if Fitzpatrick coming in is going to
Speaker 1: change anything, but I want him there to mentor tah Yeah, McLevin.
Speaker 1: I think a team that has a young, injury prone
Speaker 1: quarterback would want if Fitzpatrick like the Dolphin like, they
Speaker 1: would want him more than anywhere. Right. How confident are
Speaker 1: you into his hip? I know you were kind of
Speaker 1: filling that closely over the office. I don't know anything.
Speaker 1: I just know it's been eleven months. I just don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that he's ready to go. I assume he's
Speaker 1: ready to go. There's no need to force him into
Speaker 1: the lineup. But I also think, what if Fitzpatrick had
Speaker 1: won two or three more games in a row? Can
Speaker 1: I bring twoa in then? I mean they won back
Speaker 1: to back games, they had blowouts, and you know they
Speaker 1: nearly beat Seattle in Seattle with Fitzpatrick, they have a
Speaker 1: young nucleus, they have talent there, and this is the
Speaker 1: final piece there for them. You're gonna bring two in
Speaker 1: and now you get ready to go because now you
Speaker 1: build a super Bowl lineup that now you go after
Speaker 1: a super Bowl with your roster. But you know, we don't.
Speaker 1: I just don't know how healthy is. I'm assuming everything
Speaker 1: is great, hope it is. Look forward to seeing him
Speaker 1: play and looking at the schedule here, they do have
Speaker 1: the Rams coming up. Now he does have the bye
Speaker 1: week and that changed everything because they had to change
Speaker 1: the bye week for them, and now it's this week.
Speaker 1: So he's got thirteen days to prepare for the Rams.
Speaker 1: And then he's got the Jets in there, He's got
Speaker 1: the Bengals in there. I mean, he's got a couple
Speaker 1: of games that aren't you know, but this is going
Speaker 1: to be intimidating or and there's no fans, so I mean, yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: why not throw him in there. Let's see what he
Speaker 1: can do. And I would I would let him ride
Speaker 1: this out too, because he's going to struggle a little bit.
Speaker 1: But now leave him in there as long as he's
Speaker 1: healthy and he'll have his growing pains there. But that's
Speaker 1: a big move, especially after a couple of wins. If
Speaker 1: you would have said this quarterback just got benched and
Speaker 1: he's healthy and they're coming off a couple of wins.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have thought fitzpat. But you know, I should
Speaker 1: have opened my eyes a little bit more when I
Speaker 1: saw two A come into that game against the Jets
Speaker 1: and he was throwing a couple of passes in a
Speaker 1: game that was a blowout. They let him throw a
Speaker 1: couple of passes, which told me a little bit more
Speaker 1: about they want to see And now I guess they've
Speaker 1: seen enough and they're gonna put him in the line up. Yeah, McLevin.
Speaker 1: Would you have been shocked if the news yesterday was
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz was bench for Jalen Hurts a little bit?
Speaker 1: But I just don't know if I want to throw
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts into a situation where the offensive line is
Speaker 1: not very good and I'm putting a rookie in there.
Speaker 1: I mean, Carson Wentz is still a good quarterback. I
Speaker 1: know people are like, oh, I'd get rid of Carson Wentz.
Speaker 1: I'd put Jalen Hurts in there. Jalen Hurts is a rookie.
Speaker 1: People didn't even know if Jalen Hurts would get drafted
Speaker 1: when he got benched for two in Alabama and then
Speaker 1: he surfaced at Oklahoma. I remember talking to a scout
Speaker 1: who said he's not going to get drafted first day
Speaker 1: for sure, probably not second day. Then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: it's Jalen Hurts might be a first round quarterback. He
Speaker 1: goes in the second round, and we got all the
Speaker 1: Eagles got to steal. I don't know how good Jalen
Speaker 1: Hurts is. I know how good Carson Wentz can be,
Speaker 1: but that offensive line is terrible due to all the
Speaker 1: injuries there. I don't want a rookie in there, even
Speaker 1: if he's faster than Carson Wentz. Yes, mcclu well, you
Speaker 1: know this, Philadelphia Eagles fans hate no one more than
Speaker 1: their starting quarter no matter who it is, y McNab, Jaworski, Randall,
Speaker 1: They've hated every single one of them. Yeah, yeah, Paul,
Speaker 1: maybe you bench Carson Wentz to make him likable again.
Speaker 1: You know, if he's on the bench for a few weeks,
Speaker 1: you'll lose a few games. Then they'll be calling for
Speaker 1: Carson Wentzon. They'll miss him. All right. We'll settle on
Speaker 1: a poll question, Play of the day, stat of the Day.
Speaker 1: Phone calls are always welcome. H seven seven three d
Speaker 1: P Show we'll check in with the Tampa Bay head coach,

Speaker 1: but Mookie bets last night he stole two basses in
Speaker 1: the same inning. The last time that happened in a
Speaker 1: World Series, Babe Ruth did it in nineteen twenty one.
Speaker 1: So Mookie is the second player in World Series history
Speaker 1: with a walk multiple stolen bases in an inning, joining
Speaker 1: Babe Ruth. If I gave you over under one hundred
Speaker 1: stolen bases for their career, Babe Ruth, anybody going over
Speaker 1: mclovin is one hundred and ten stolen bases for Babe Ruth.
Speaker 1: How's that bossing him? Yeah? He was also caught one
Speaker 1: hundred and seventeen times, so I was gonna guess he
Speaker 1: had about eleven stolen basis. Uh, And you know what happened.
Speaker 1: I think they started keeping stolen bases in nineteen twenty one,
Speaker 1: but I think before that, bab I thought he had
Speaker 1: one twenty seven for his career. But yeah, you know
Speaker 1: he's still They're not going to take him out of
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. Bruce Arians joining his Tampa Bay
Speaker 1: head coach. You know what, my staff didn't realize how
Speaker 1: great a running quarterback you were in college. Do you
Speaker 1: do your players know? I think you had eleven touchdowns
Speaker 1: one year, didn't you. Yeah, the record held for a
Speaker 1: long time, and then Gerard Evans beat a big Bay
Speaker 1: fifteen games on. There's an asterisk on it. How was
Speaker 1: your arm? I was very averaging when I when we're
Speaker 1: a passing team, I was a running cornerback. We're a
Speaker 1: running team out the beast. Does it help you look
Speaker 1: at the offense differently having played the position, Oh totally, yeah,
Speaker 1: they having played in so many different offenses in college,
Speaker 1: you know, had the pleasure playing for Dan Henning and
Speaker 1: when Don Struck led the nation in passing has his
Speaker 1: backup and then running the wishbone. So I saw two
Speaker 1: totally sides, different sides of the game when I was
Speaker 1: playing Who is your favorite quarterback? Growing up, Johnny Unitas
Speaker 1: Baltimore Cults were my team. Did you ever meet him?
Speaker 1: I did. They came and played a basketball game against
Speaker 1: a radio station, and we were like the preliminary game,
Speaker 1: and we dressed in the same locker room. So I
Speaker 1: put his trench coat on it. They left. I put
Speaker 1: his trench coat on his hat. At that time, he
Speaker 1: had had a commercial for a deodor and so I
Speaker 1: was walking around a longer room with his goat on.
Speaker 1: What struck me when I met him was that he
Speaker 1: wasn't tall, because you know, growing up, when you saw
Speaker 1: like when I met Jack Nicholas, I thought the Golden
Speaker 1: Bears like six two sixty three. Johnny Uniteds was like
Speaker 1: five eleven. It felt like maybe six feet. It wasn't
Speaker 1: guys let him Moore, Mike Curtis something everybody in the
Speaker 1: Baltimore calls those are my heroes. When you went down
Speaker 1: ten to nothing to Aaron Rodgers, what were you thinking
Speaker 1: on the sidelines, exhale, You know just where we were
Speaker 1: holding our breath. We were. We came out a little
Speaker 1: bit tight on both sides of the ball. And you know,
Speaker 1: I think Todd Bows did a great job with the
Speaker 1: defense on the side. You know, we're letting him out
Speaker 1: of the pocket, got everything covered, let's just exhale and
Speaker 1: go play faster. And that defense it felt like they
Speaker 1: were kind of conservative, or you weren't pushing rogers or
Speaker 1: being aggressive like that. At least it felt like that
Speaker 1: in the beginning. Then all of a sudden, it was
Speaker 1: like Ali, Ali income free, Let's go get him. Let's
Speaker 1: let's force him to make some some magic here? Was
Speaker 1: that the game plan? U? Now we actually went after early.
Speaker 1: We just let him out of the pocket. He scrambled
Speaker 1: on the first third and ten, we dumped somebody kept
Speaker 1: rushing the quarterback and let the back out and it's
Speaker 1: just a matter of doing your job. But again, the
Speaker 1: game plan was to stop the run, shut the run down,
Speaker 1: then go get him. And you know, you start to
Speaker 1: watch this team now, I don't know how many games
Speaker 1: it usually takes you each season before you go, Okay,
Speaker 1: now I know who my team is. Do you know
Speaker 1: who your team is? Now? I think we've known defensively, offensively,
Speaker 1: who are still scratching the surface. We've missed so much
Speaker 1: time in the off season, so each week's a new
Speaker 1: week for us offensively, and with all the injuries on offense,
Speaker 1: getting guys back now, I think we can start finding ourselves.
Speaker 1: And you know, just trying to figure this out. You
Speaker 1: got it obviously, you know Tom knew there and you
Speaker 1: didn't get the off season workouts. You've got injuries with
Speaker 1: your wide receiver. Like, how dynamic can this offense be
Speaker 1: or do you want it to be? Oh? I think
Speaker 1: it could be one of the tops. You know, we're
Speaker 1: running the ball well right now, offensive line's healthy, knock
Speaker 1: on woods and blocking well. So with Ronald Jones running
Speaker 1: and getting Leonard Fournette back just makes a game easy
Speaker 1: for Tom. And then now the receivers are all getting
Speaker 1: healthy and he didn't even practice those guys for three weeks,
Speaker 1: and so it should just get better and better. Did
Speaker 1: you guys make a run at Leavian Bell? No, you're
Speaker 1: fine with the running backs that you have? Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: well yeah, we've got more than By the way, seven
Speaker 1: questions before I brought up Tom Brady's name, that might
Speaker 1: be a record coach. There you go, Yeah, how's Gronk doing?
Speaker 1: Because it felt like he was kind of laboring there
Speaker 1: starting this season. But you know, I did have a
Speaker 1: touchdown catch. So how would you assess where he is
Speaker 1: right now? I think he's playing really, really good. You know,
Speaker 1: it's his number. When teams want to double cover Mike Evans,
Speaker 1: that kind of opens up the field for Gronk and
Speaker 1: and he he was working through it early in the seasons.
Speaker 1: He's in great shape. And I think we're doing a
Speaker 1: better job of coaching him up a little bit. And
Speaker 1: Tom too, as far as when we're seeing different coverages
Speaker 1: where we want to go with the ball? Is Gronk
Speaker 1: Goofy's He's unusual. He's a hell of a lot of
Speaker 1: fun though. Man, he's a hell of a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: Give me an example just talking to him, like, dude,
Speaker 1: did your elevator go all the way to the top?
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not sure, but it is fun. Can
Speaker 1: you imagine Belichick though? And him? You know how Belichick is,
Speaker 1: like you got a sense of humor, and you know,
Speaker 1: you're pretty back and forth with players, But I can't
Speaker 1: imagine Belichick, you know, just laughing at Gronk or allowing
Speaker 1: Gronk to be Gronk. I don't Yeah, I just don't
Speaker 1: think you can help it. And I think they'll probably
Speaker 1: had a lot of smiles on his face when he
Speaker 1: was coaching him too. What is it about Brady that
Speaker 1: has surprised you so far? His interaction with young players? Um,
Speaker 1: I think he's outstanding. He's like another coach, and you know,
Speaker 1: you as a coach, you can tell a guy keep
Speaker 1: pumping his arms, keep doing this, come out of your brakes.
Speaker 1: But when he says, they listen for some reason. And
Speaker 1: that's just amazing seeing him work with these young guys
Speaker 1: because of the injuries to Chris and Mike and having
Speaker 1: to put young guys in there who never played, and
Speaker 1: him just coaching them up, trusting him. I you know,
Speaker 1: everybody gets on him getting on people. I love when
Speaker 1: he gets on people. Hell, I don't have to do
Speaker 1: it then. But you know, everything you do this year
Speaker 1: because Tom's in town is scrutinized, Like I don't know
Speaker 1: if you've ever felt this way before, where the national
Speaker 1: media is going, oh don't you hear what Arian said
Speaker 1: about great? Like this is? These are headlines here like
Speaker 1: have you felt this way before at any time in
Speaker 1: your coaching career where everybody was watching what you were
Speaker 1: doing and scrutinizing it. Now, really it's uh, this is
Speaker 1: this is different when where we're getting into and just
Speaker 1: embrace it and have fun with it. Yeah, but you
Speaker 1: know Bill Parcels used to yell at Phil Simms when
Speaker 1: Lawrence Taylor would make a mistake, like can you yell
Speaker 1: at Tom? So everybody knows that I'm yelling at Tom,
Speaker 1: and you know nobody's untouchable here. Uh, that that's happened
Speaker 1: in practice, But it's more Blaine Gabbert gets to ask
Speaker 1: you and all the time, So you don't yell at Tom.
Speaker 1: You yell at Gabbert. Oh yeah, and he relates the message,
Speaker 1: but Tom Tom hears me. So that way, it's always
Speaker 1: that way with Ben Byron Leftwich and Charlie Bescott cussed
Speaker 1: out all the time instead of Roethlisberger. Oh yeah, well,
Speaker 1: you know you're dealing with egos though when you're dealing
Speaker 1: with the quarterball, Like, is it more fragile dealing with
Speaker 1: a quarterback than any other position? Oh? Totally, totally. Their
Speaker 1: their mindset, the vibe that they're in you know you
Speaker 1: don't want to change it. Uh, but you want to
Speaker 1: get your point across too. Uh O, the ball should
Speaker 1: be here, and uh it's it's it's fun though, it's
Speaker 1: it's It's been a great, great time coaching him. But
Speaker 1: I would think with wide receivers because they're always open
Speaker 1: and they're always complaining that they would be hard to
Speaker 1: deal with. Two. I've had some in the past. This
Speaker 1: group is as selfless as I've ever been around. You know,
Speaker 1: Mike Evans, as long as he don't we win lose
Speaker 1: draw if he catches one or he catches ten. He's
Speaker 1: the same guy. Chris Godwin's the same way. So we're very,
Speaker 1: very fortunate in that regard who was the diva that
Speaker 1: you had. Let's just say there were a few. How
Speaker 1: many how many kango hats do you own? Oh, guys,
Speaker 1: you about thirty or forty, but they're all new era.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, do you have the cream sickle? No? I
Speaker 1: couldn't get it made. I'm still working on that one.
Speaker 1: Oh that'd be good though. You bring When are you
Speaker 1: guys going cream sickle? I think it's gonna be a while,
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully next year when the uniform of rules
Speaker 1: loosing up a little bit and we can have a
Speaker 1: different helmet. Also, you can't do it this year. No, No,
Speaker 1: because of the helmet is that you can only have
Speaker 1: one helmet. Oh, man, tell Tom to do it. They
Speaker 1: won't find him for sure. Yeah, the commissioner, of course,
Speaker 1: he won't find Tom. Uh coach, congratulations and uh, good luck.
Speaker 1: You got Sunday night against the Raiders and uh that
Speaker 1: should be fun at the Raiders. So thanks for joining us.
Speaker 1: That ain't all right? That's Bruce arians Buccaneers head coach
Speaker 1: and a nifty runner in college leven touchdown runs in
Speaker 1: one season. Yeah. Point when you hear that interview, you
Speaker 1: go back and think why did Tom Brady want to
Speaker 1: play for the Bucks soon? And and it makes your case. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that's why when you know, when Aaron said that
Speaker 1: about Brady and he was critical of him, that's who
Speaker 1: Bruce is. I don't think Tom was surprised at that,
Speaker 1: you know, the national media was. But you like, you
Speaker 1: can't say that about Tom. It's like, yeah, you can.
Speaker 1: I you know, that's that's the relationship he has. You know,
Speaker 1: Belichick would never do that. He would just say we're
Speaker 1: on to Cincinnati. You know, Bruce is asking a question,
Speaker 1: you get answer with Bruce. That's just who he's always been,
Speaker 1: no matter who his quarterback is. It could be Ben Roethlisberger,
Speaker 1: it could be Tom Brady. But I think that it's interesting,
Speaker 1: you know that we were like, oh my god, like
Speaker 1: tom Brady's forty three, all right, you got a great resume,
Speaker 1: but still you have to coach him and if he
Speaker 1: made mistakes. I was just surprised that he said it
Speaker 1: at a press conference because unless that's just to say
Speaker 1: to the rest of the players, I'm holding everybody accountable here,
Speaker 1: including Tom Brady. We're gonna settle on a pull question here. McLevin. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I put up, did the Dolphins make the right decision
Speaker 1: to bench Ryan Fitzpatrick for two right now? And the
Speaker 1: early results are fifty four percent? Say no, uh yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's the right move. I understand it. And
Speaker 1: you know, let's say Fitzpatrick won three in a row.
Speaker 1: Let's say he won five in a row. Now all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you're in the playoff mix. Then you
Speaker 1: can't bench him. What's wrong with that? That's the point
Speaker 1: I think you want twa in there now, because you've
Speaker 1: got to think bigger picture here, not just Fitzpatrick. This year.
Speaker 1: I want to know what Tua can do because that's
Speaker 1: going to open my eyes to say, is he our
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback? And I think you got to know now
Speaker 1: in today's NFL. You want to know in the first year,
Speaker 1: is that guy like Joe Burrow of you've seen enough
Speaker 1: where the Bengals go, Yep, he's the real deal. The
Speaker 1: Chargers feel like they know justin Herbert's a franchise quarterback.
Speaker 1: The Packers are not going to know for three years
Speaker 1: with Jordan Love. Dolphins want to know now with two
Speaker 1: of the employ It does feel like the Miami Dolphins
Speaker 1: coaches and ownership is sticking to the plan that they
Speaker 1: had and not letting three and three and being having
Speaker 1: a weak division a week AFC East let them change
Speaker 1: their minds and like you said, they had to do
Speaker 1: it now because two more wins. If you're five and three,
Speaker 1: the home fans they'd be like what, But they know
Speaker 1: they're not competing for a Super Bowl this year. They're
Speaker 1: competing for a Super Bowl three years from now. Yes,
Speaker 1: And I think that as long as two is ready
Speaker 1: to go, then now's the time. Because I got to
Speaker 1: look at a bigger picture here. The big plan is
Speaker 1: I get Tah on that rookie deal. We know he
Speaker 1: can play, and then your game plan for next season
Speaker 1: could be sped up because you might get like the
Speaker 1: Chargers game plan, their timeframe is sped up because Justin
Speaker 1: Herbert has proven he can play. They might not have
Speaker 1: known until a bye week. If Tyrod Taylor didn't get
Speaker 1: his lung punctured, we wouldn't know about Justin Herbert. Now,
Speaker 1: if you're the Chargers, you go. We got our quarterback.
Speaker 1: The Bengals, we got our quarterback. Miami wants to know,
Speaker 1: do they have their quarterback? Yeah, McLevin. A lot of
Speaker 1: people ask why why did they do this week one?
Speaker 1: Why did Fitzpatrick ever start? Then the six weeks make
Speaker 1: that big a different. I don't know how healthy. I
Speaker 1: don't know. You know, do we know it's only six
Speaker 1: weeks in? Do we It's the same question. I'm guessing
Speaker 1: that he's one because if i'm ta, the Dolphins can
Speaker 1: check me out, but I want my doctor to check
Speaker 1: me out as well. I think that he's earned that,
Speaker 1: you know, everything he's gone through the last eleven months,
Speaker 1: he should be able to have a second opinion that says,
Speaker 1: I'm not risking further damage to my hip here. Yeah, McLeman.
Speaker 1: The Bills have a pretty tough schedule and the Dolphins
Speaker 1: have it like the easiest schedule. So I mean, if
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick they could go to eleven and five but win
Speaker 1: that division, or ten and six, they could, But you're
Speaker 1: not competing for a super Bowl this year if you're
Speaker 1: in the tournament. No, they're not competing for the super Bowl,
Speaker 1: certainly not in the AFC. But I think you have
Speaker 1: to look at this and find out do you have
Speaker 1: your quarterback because it changes then your approach to the draft.
Speaker 1: Dolphins got a couple of first round draft picks, they
Speaker 1: got the Texans, and they got their own. They're going
Speaker 1: to be able to add weapons. I think people are
Speaker 1: all on board that Flores is a really good coach
Speaker 1: and motivates those players. They play hard even when they're
Speaker 1: not supposed to win. They were winning, including winning in
Speaker 1: New England last year late in the season, and I
Speaker 1: think if two was ready to go, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of excitem. Whence the last time the Dolphins were exciting
Speaker 1: ten days from now, they're going to be exciting nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty seven. Yeah. I think the Dolphins in Week thirteen
Speaker 1: face the kans City Chiefs. Yeah, that's a one o'clock
Speaker 1: game that could that's a flex that one two has
Speaker 1: got six or seven games under his belt versus Mahomes.
Speaker 1: That'd be fun. And you want to be relevant. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of there's teams that just aren't relevant. And
Speaker 1: the Dolphins weren't relevant. Now you're going to watch them.
Speaker 1: That's what you want. Last thing you want to be
Speaker 1: is you know that you're not relevant. Nobody cares about you,
Speaker 1: like you don't have a pulse. Now the Dolphins, it
Speaker 1: feels like there's something there and it's exciting. Now you're
Speaker 1: going to tune into that game. You might not have
Speaker 1: watched that game unless you're a Rams fan or Dolphins fan,
Speaker 1: you probably wouldn't. Now I'm going to watch the game,
Speaker 1: the game, not the highlights, because I'm curious to see
Speaker 1: how two is going to look with Aaron Donald, you know,
Speaker 1: trying to sack him. But it's it's exciting, No, it is.
Speaker 1: Yeahm the club. When Johnny Man's all guide his first
Speaker 1: start for the Browns, it was exciting. It was it
Speaker 1: was I lost like thirty four to seven or something.
Speaker 1: But Johnny couldn't play the position in the NFL. He
Speaker 1: wasn't disciplined enough to understand the game. He had all
Speaker 1: field issues like TWA doesn't do anything, like he's he's
Speaker 1: just you know, enquire boy. Not going to Vegas. Yeah see,
Speaker 1: like all of his postgame comments after being taken well,
Speaker 1: I called him my mom and dad, and mom and
Speaker 1: dad were but my mom and dad were. Two is
Speaker 1: not even gonna go to Vegas when the team plays
Speaker 1: invent No, that's how That's how discipline he is. I
Speaker 1: think I'm not going to oh bad things happen there? Yeah. See,
Speaker 1: do you think he knew or do we know if
Speaker 1: two and knew that he was going to go in
Speaker 1: that game. I'm gonna guess that he was told to
Speaker 1: prepare to go in the game if the situation calls
Speaker 1: for it, that you're gonna get you're gonna get some
Speaker 1: run here. I'm I'm guessing. I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: know if we've heard his comments where he was totally surprised,
Speaker 1: but I would think if I'm going to put him in,
Speaker 1: look or I say to my staff, look, if we
Speaker 1: get up, we're up two touchdowns in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: I want to to get in and take a couple
Speaker 1: of snaps and yet halftime, that would be when I
Speaker 1: would say to two, Hey, if we continue this, I
Speaker 1: want you to get ready. Hey, Fitz, you know I'm
Speaker 1: gonna put two in. You know, keep piling on the
Speaker 1: points here, and he's going to get a couple of
Speaker 1: snaps here because it feels like they did him a
Speaker 1: huge favor by checking him in. You know, there's what
Speaker 1: two minutes left in the game or something where he
Speaker 1: can get all of those jitters out, all of that
Speaker 1: first time in a game. Maybe just see the speed
Speaker 1: if it he completes a couple of passes and now
Speaker 1: he doesn't have the whole week leading up to a
Speaker 1: thinking about, man, what's it going to be like when
Speaker 1: I get in there? And he was but inside his
Speaker 1: own twenty yard line, so he's backed up to the
Speaker 1: goal line. When he he makes one pass where he
Speaker 1: you know, he rolls to his left and completes that.
Speaker 1: The other one steps up in the pocket, and you know,
Speaker 1: granted it's against the Jets, but you've got to get
Speaker 1: those first couple of passes out of the way, and
Speaker 1: you've got two guys, who are you know, he's under pressure,
Speaker 1: He's got two big dudes right in front of him.
Speaker 1: He's got to get rid of the ball. Yeah yeah, McLellan.
Speaker 1: You know one thing that they keep changing their mind
Speaker 1: on is ken short quarterbacks playing in the the NFL. When
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield has a bad game, he can't see over
Speaker 1: the line. If you watch a telecast, it's all they
Speaker 1: talk about. But then if he has a good game,
Speaker 1: short quarterbacks are great. It's two are going to hit
Speaker 1: that problem because he's remember he was in tudo, he's short. Well,
Speaker 1: it's the same thing with Kyler Murray. Oh and Kyler
Speaker 1: Murray to one play, it doesn't matter one play it does.
Speaker 1: You don't hear as much with Kyler Murray. You don't
Speaker 1: hear anymore with Russell Wilson, you don't hear anymore with
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, but you do hear it with Baker Mayfield.
Speaker 1: Because Baker Mayfield is clickbait. The number of shows that
Speaker 1: will talk about Baker Mayfield today, and for what reason,
Speaker 1: no reason other than people are curious about the Browns
Speaker 1: and Odell Beckham junior Baker Mayfield. Baker Mayfield hasn't gotten
Speaker 1: taller or shorter. There were no questions his rookie year.
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson hasn't gotten taller or shorter, Drew Brees hasn't
Speaker 1: doesn't have the arm strength. I mean, we're not critical
Speaker 1: if he can't see over the line of scrimmage, but
Speaker 1: we're critical of his arm, which we should be. But
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, I didn't hear anything. There are guys. I
Speaker 1: think I don't know who got the most passes knocked
Speaker 1: down last year, but I think it was a pocket quarterback,
Speaker 1: a tall pocket quarterback who may have led. I forget
Speaker 1: who it was, but I think we ran those numbers there.
Speaker 1: But it only happens if you're successful. Nobody says, boy,
Speaker 1: it's amazing he can't see over the lineman. You get
Speaker 1: one batted down these short quarterbacks here. All right, let
Speaker 1: me take a break. Phone calls coming up. Play of
Speaker 1: the day as well in an interesting question that I'll
Speaker 1: pose about Clayton Kershaw. Have that for you next. Thanks

Speaker 1: Play of the day. Play this is the play on
Speaker 1: the day. Check this out. The Dodgers with their first
Speaker 1: runner in scoring position and Bellinger with a flyball to
Speaker 1: right field. Well hit on its way, calling a home run.
Speaker 1: Cody Bellinger picking up where he left off. I can
Speaker 1: guarantee you he will not be doing the bash brothers.
Speaker 1: In fact, they're doing with the feet this time. It's
Speaker 1: the low feat, not the high five. Little kid in
Speaker 1: play there with Cody Bellinger. Charlie Steiner with the call
Speaker 1: AM five to seven d LA Sports Dodgers Radio Network,
Speaker 1: Game two tonight. Paulie always fixates on this. He'll go,
Speaker 1: what's the exact time? First pitch? Because I said, I
Speaker 1: think it's eight ten. He goes, no, it's eight eleven,
Speaker 1: and I go, okay, So I just see where tonight's
Speaker 1: starting time is eight o eight. It was eight o
Speaker 1: nine last night. What's the difference. What's being cut? You
Speaker 1: told me eight eleven, sorry, and I thought it was
Speaker 1: eight ten and it went eight o nine. Now it's
Speaker 1: eight o eight. Look into it, all right, Get some
Speaker 1: of your best people on that play the day brought
Speaker 1: to you by the Breeders Cup Breeders Cup dot Com
Speaker 1: Slash twenty twenty, you'll be able to see fourteen great
Speaker 1: races at the Breeders Cup World Championships November sixth and seventh,
Speaker 1: the world's best thoroughbreds competing. You can check all the
Speaker 1: action live on NBC Sports. If you're Clayton Kershaw and
Speaker 1: you could choose between the following, the Dodgers sweep the Rays,
Speaker 1: you don't pitch again in the series, you get a ring,
Speaker 1: you have the Game one victory, or you start Game
Speaker 1: five and the Dodgers are up three games to one,
Speaker 1: because if you win, maybe you're the series MVP. Some
Speaker 1: people are saying, this is I post this a dumb question.
Speaker 1: Of course you'd want to sweep. But if you're a
Speaker 1: high end athlete who believes in themselves, you want the
Speaker 1: ball and have no doubts that you'll win it for
Speaker 1: your team, you gotta pick one. You can't I'm gonna
Speaker 1: If I'm Clayton Kershaw, I think that if it was me,
Speaker 1: I'd want to be on the mound and it's Game
Speaker 1: five and were up three games to one, because there
Speaker 1: would be no greater feeling than to be on the
Speaker 1: mound or get the win. Now, the downside is really big,
Speaker 1: but you could sign a piece of paper right now
Speaker 1: and get a ring and a win in that series
Speaker 1: and there's zero downside. Yeah, and didn't he sort of
Speaker 1: the upside happened last night? I did it? Yeah, Okay,
Speaker 1: did it? Yep? Double upside. I put that in right
Speaker 1: rear view mirror. I don't know if he. I don't
Speaker 1: know if upside doubles quite as much as the downside
Speaker 1: just tumbles. I would want to be on the mound
Speaker 1: game five up, three games to one, Yes, ton I
Speaker 1: didn't want to be on the mound too, But it's
Speaker 1: not the old days when you're gonna go a complete game,
Speaker 1: and the odds of him being on the mound, you know,
Speaker 1: for the nine innings and part of the celebration, as
Speaker 1: opposed to you after five and two thirds. So what's
Speaker 1: your answer. I would want to start game five, but
Speaker 1: it's not as special as it would have been back
Speaker 1: in the day when they'd let the starter go longer
Speaker 1: as long as he can, as long as he's pitching, well,
Speaker 1: he's gonna get pulled after six seven innings, even if
Speaker 1: he's done. Yes, I think he got to do some
Speaker 1: math on Mookie. You gotta see where he is. Because
Speaker 1: if you don't have a chance at the Series MVP,
Speaker 1: and you know, I think they want to give it
Speaker 1: to Mookie. But if you got two wins and you
Speaker 1: pitched well in those two games, but like Tod said,
Speaker 1: you're only going six innings, but you're still getting the win.
Speaker 1: You're getting two victories, and just the sentimental aspect of this,
Speaker 1: he might be the World Series MVP. Yes, he but
Speaker 1: what happens if you go out there and get shelled.
Speaker 1: What happens if you go out there and get shelled
Speaker 1: and then the team comes back and wins despite your
Speaker 1: yis Yeah, but I want to I still want to pitch.
Speaker 1: If I'm up three games to one, the odds are
Speaker 1: they're still in our favor. Yes, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: sentimental favor towards Mookie Batts too. I think its short
Speaker 1: people people root for him hard. The media. I don't.
Speaker 1: It's weird. And somebody asked me this yesterday. When I
Speaker 1: get through the show, It's like, why do you empathize
Speaker 1: or sympathize with Clayton Kershaw? He's going to the the Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame. He makes thirty seven million dollars a year.
Speaker 1: He's got a great life, great wife, beautiful children. I go,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I got I don't know. It's just
Speaker 1: you want to see guys be great your I root
Speaker 1: for greatness. I want to see, you know, when somebody says, oh,
Speaker 1: what's the fuss about? And then you like Mookie Bets.
Speaker 1: I want people to see how great Mookie Bets is
Speaker 1: because I would watch almost on a nightly basis because
Speaker 1: I loved watching him play baseball. It's like Mike Trout.
Speaker 1: I just there're guys that you watch play baseball. Sometimes
Speaker 1: it's not exciting, but they do the right thing. And
Speaker 1: Mookie was one of those plays. Like when the Red
Speaker 1: Sox let him go, and I'm going, how do you
Speaker 1: let Mookie Bets go? And then the Dodgers are like,
Speaker 1: how do you let Mookie Bets go? We'll take him, yeah, Paulli.
Speaker 1: It's like Dan Marino. Every time we have Damn Reno on,
Speaker 1: I wish I'm like, man, I wish he had one.
Speaker 1: I feel Why would I feel bad for dam Rino?
Speaker 1: He's one of the greatest athletes in American history and
Speaker 1: That's why I root for Tiger Woods, because I want,
Speaker 1: you know, a whole new generation that hasn't seen the
Speaker 1: greatness that we got to see, just to see that,
Speaker 1: like the Masters, to have that one more time awesome.
Speaker 1: You just want to see it. And we waited a
Speaker 1: long time, and I don't know if Tiger ever, you know,
Speaker 1: gets that magic back again. We're checking in with the
Speaker 1: Cowboys coming up top of the hour and they got
Speaker 1: some issues. Is Mike McCarthy possibly on the hot seat
Speaker 1: already
