I 0:00:07.760 --> 0:00:09.560 had to look long and hard for it, but I 0:00:09.640 --> 0:00:12.000 have a little bit of good news for Cowboy fans. 0:00:12.039 --> 0:00:14.120 Have that for you coming up? Welcome to the program 0:00:14.160 --> 0:00:16.920 already in progress. It's our two on this Monday, Dan 0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:19.680 and The Dane's Dan Patrick Show will check in with 0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:23.720 the Patriots. They are en route to Kansas City for 0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:27.400 tonight's game. We'll talk to don Mattingley, the Marlins manager. 0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:29.960 He made it to the second round of the playoffs. 0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:33.760 They start with the Braves tomorrow and Donnie'll join us 0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:36.760 in an hour. Reggie Miller will so recap what happened 0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:40.960 last night as Jimmy Butler beat the LA Lakers eight 0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:43.559 seven seven three d P Show Email address dpat dan 0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:46.960 Patrick dot com, Twitter handle a DPS show.

Adam Schefter has updated a tweet. 0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:03.560 Initially he had said that no Titans players for the 0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:08.720 first time in seven days, had no negative tests this morning, 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:11.679 and I said, nah, I think Chefty needs to say 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:14.840 that they had no positive tests this morning, because if 0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:17.640 they had no negative tests, then the Titans aren't going 0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:19.840 to be playing for a couple of weeks. So, for 0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:22.080 the first time in seven days, the Titans had no 0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:26.560 positive test this morning. They're still doubt about their game 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:31.520 next week against Buffalo. But until recently the league seemed 0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:34.479 to be in pretty good shape. And now they're basically 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:37.360 in the same boat with Major League Baseball. And that 0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:39.200 was a couple of months ago when Baseball with the 0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:41.520 Cardinals in the Marlins, had a couple of positive tests 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:44.880 and the first challenges controlling the virus. You got a 0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:47.560 steady stream of positive tests, and the Titans showed how 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:51.920 difficult it can be if teams can contain the outbreaks 0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:54.040 and they have to figure out how to schedule around 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:58.320 the virus. And it's a little easier than baseball. There's 0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:01.000 no double headers in football. And I don't know if 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:04.000 you can add weeks to the end of the regular season. 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:07.800 Here's a problem. And here's the scenario that was pointed 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:11.960 out presented to me yesterday, because people are saying, well, 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:14.600 if the Titans can play next week, then you know, 0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:18.160 can you move the regular season back a couple of 0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:20.239 weeks to get in all the games. They said, well, 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:23.799 let's say you're the Kansas City Chiefs, you're the number 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:28.480 one seed, and then you have to wait until an 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:31.400 X number of weeks until you can play your first 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:34.800 playoff game. That's going to mean something, and you know 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:37.959 it's not fair if you're going to go, Hey, let's 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:40.280 say you have three or four teams that have to 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:45.360 make up two games each, so you add a week 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:48.320 eighteen in a week nineteen to make sure that they 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:52.680 are able to play those games. But if you're somebody 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:56.600 who has the best record in AFC or NFC, then 0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:59.560 you're going to have to wait almost a month to 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:02.040 play your first playoff game. There'd be the bye week 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:04.880 and then you know you'd play your first game, and 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:07.680 that's not fair to them either. It's a little tricky. 0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:11.280 Right now, you can move the super Bowl back, but 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:13.440 I think you know we're gonna have to wait and 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:16.080 just you know it's going to happen in real time 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:18.560 where we go, Okay, they have to do that. Now. 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:21.000 I think you can speculate here in week four, but 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:23.760 it's dangerous to do that because I don't know how 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:26.840 many teams are going to have a situation like Pittsburgh 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:31.480 and Tennessee had. I'm gonna guess we'll have another situation 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:34.400 like this, but you don't know when, you don't know 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:36.600 how big, and you don't know if it would be 0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:39.760 just one team or not. This year's tested every league's 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:42.800 ability to think outside the box. The NBA and NHL 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:45.440 had great successes, but they were in the bubble. Baseball 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:49.640 started slow, found kind of its groove, and the NFL 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:53.120 has been basically like a giant cruise ship on the ocean, 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:55.600 although that's probably not the best analogy to use during 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:59.000 these times. It takes a long time to make a turn, 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:02.040 but they don't have that luxury right now. So you've 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:04.480 got to make sure that you're gonna be buttoned up 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:08.720 as you head in. I thought week eight, Week nine, 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:11.440 week ten, maybe that's where players get a little more lax. 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:13.800 Or if your team's out of the playoffs, out of 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:16.760 the playoff chase, you might have that. But that's what 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:19.960 was told to me when this season started, that it'll happen. 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:22.760 The NFL was prepared for this. They weren't prepared that 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:25.000 it was going to happen. You in week three or 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:28.720 Week four, eight, seven, seven, three d P show will 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:31.000 get to your phone calls best and worst of the weekend, 0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:34.120 as we always do. Once again, the Miami Heat picking 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:36.960 up a big win last night. Maybe it's just their 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:40.320 one moment here, but Jimmy Butler was as great as 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:44.479 you could possibly be, not only offensively but defensively. And 0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:46.680 here's a number to always keep in mind when it 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:52.000 comes to when you're watching the Los Angeles Lakers. If 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:54.480 they are going to shoot less than thirty three percent 0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:57.960 from the floor from three point range, they don't win. 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:02.800 They are undefeated in the bubble when they shoot better 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.520 than thirty three percent from the floor. Here is a 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:09.000 troubling number that I had last night because I wanted 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:13.520 to know where Anthony Davis was. Anthony Davis took nine 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:17.480 shots the entire game. At thirty three minutes, he shot 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:23.440 two free throws. I'll give Miami some credit, but that 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:27.120 feels like the Lakers fell in love with the three. 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:33.520 Mark Keith Morris attempted more three pointers eleven than Anthony 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:40.880 Davis attempted total shots nine. If an alarm doesn't go 0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:45.919 off when that happens, then there's a real concern. But 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:49.400 I will say, Jimmy Butler, that's exactly what you want. 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:55.800 He basically said, we're not losing this game. And I 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:59.760 love the exchange that he had. First quarter, Lebron had 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:04.559 this to say to Jimmy Butler. First, I just wanted 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:06.880 to clarify. It looked like you said you're in trouble. 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:09.280 Is that what you said? I said, Okay, we not 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:12.040 go him just out there talking trash for him, not Bro, 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:14.240 I said at the end of the first that's what happened. 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:16.440 I just said it to him in the fourth quarter. 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:22.680 I love it. I love it. It was great. Just 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:28.760 you know, hey, put up, shut up, and Lebron, stay 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:31.920 on the floor. Ten seconds left. You're not bigger than 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:35.080 the game. Stay on the floor. Be professional. I don't 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:38.719 care how mad you are. However, you know, angry you 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:43.400 are ten seconds isn't gonna make it worse. Might make 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:46.320 it better if you walk into the locker room. But 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:49.200 he was not in any cheerful mood, although he did 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:53.080 acknowledge Jimmy Butler's greatness after the game. I thought Jimmy 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:56.200 was phenomenal. You know, he did everything that they needed 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:57.520 for him to do tonight, and he came through a 0:06:57.560 --> 0:06:59.279 big time in a big time game. One of the 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:02.160 best competitors were having our game. We love that opportunity. 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:04.320 So for me personal, I don't know how many more 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:06.839 opportunities on behalf. So, you know, to be able to 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:09.640 go against a fierce competitor like that is something I'll 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:11.520 look back on when I'm down playing. But like miss 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:15.920 those moments. Yeah, you might look back on that moment 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:17.960 of just how great he was and then move on 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:20.360 and make sure it doesn't happen the next game. That'd 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:22.760 be my advice. Yeah, when I'm all set and done, 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:24.720 I'll look back on that moment. Nah, I'd look back 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:26.800 on that moment right now and make sure it doesn't 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:31.600 happen again. But Butler wanted Lebron. He got Lebron and 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:33.880 lived to tell about it, and Lebron put up some 0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:38.280 decent numbers there by the way. I was looking for 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:43.280 a positive sign with my Cowboys and Ethan, our stats guy. 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:49.600 You guys are aware of Ethan, right, Yeah, so Ethan, 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:53.280 he said, I'll try to come up with something. The 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:56.720 Cowboys had the easiest remaining schedule in the NFL. Their 0:07:56.760 --> 0:08:01.760 remaining opponents have a three seven and two winning percentage. 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:07.160 So there is hope there for the Cowboys. Somebody has 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:09.480 to win the NFC East. I check with the NFL. 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:13.160 They do have to give the NFC East to somebody 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:16.840 this year. Now, if you're looking at how bad their 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:20.640 opponents are, look at the Giants, look at Washington. Eagles 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:26.080 did get a win last night. But Cowboys. I don't 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:30.360 know if they can get any defense anytime soon. But boy, 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:34.000 just do whatever you want. Run the football you can throw. 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:36.760 That's a good place to pick up your stats a 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:39.120 little bit there. Yeah, Paul has a seven and nine 0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:43.240 team ever won a division and made the playoffs? Well, 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:47.959 didn't this Saints? Yeah, the Seahawks beat the Saints right 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:50.240 with the Marshawn Lynch rumble. Wasn't one of those teams 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:52.160 seven and seven and nine? How about this for a 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:55.240 new rule. If a team wins a division at seven 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:58.480 and nine, that division loses their playoff spot and it 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:00.679 goes to a while the next person in line to 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:02.120 get the wild card, next team in line to get 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:03.760 the wild card, Well, they should never give a seven 0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:06.680 and nine team who wins the division a home playoff game. 0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:10.120 Even more so, that's the big problem because you're seven 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:12.719 and nine and you won your division. Therefore you get 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:15.560 to host a playoff game. Yes, mclemen, there's no doubt 0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:17.800 that the Cowboys are hosting the LA Rams. Then let's 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:22.079 this Sunday four o'clock games in the in the playoffs. 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:25.000 I think this isn't even There's no way the Eagles 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:27.800 have enough healthy bodies that would be a rematch to 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:31.760 the Michael Gallup push off. Ooh, I don't know. I 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:33.560 don't yeah, you know, I don't think you're selling it 0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:37.400 that way. We'll rematch, but it's it pushed off on 0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:40.880 Jalen Ramsey. The Texans and Bills will also play on 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:44.640 that Saturday, even though the Texans are But is there 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:47.720 any way the Eagles still have enough healthy buy they 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:50.200 lost four to five? Oh alignment, nobody? How much have 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:54.720 to win this division? Right? Nobody cares McLevin about the NFC. Easy, 0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:57.480 they don't care about the Eagles. Nobody. Oh, come on, 0:09:57.559 --> 0:10:00.720 everyone cares about Nobody cares about them, guys. I think 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:03.079 that there isn't a single NFL teams are all national. 0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:05.720 There's not a single There's nothing regional about the Browns 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:10.680 or the Eagles. The Bengals are regional there. Jacksonville is regional. 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:12.760 The Bengals used to be regional, but then they got 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:15.679 a quarterback who everyone knows because of last year. By 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:19.360 the way, update the poll results there. Polly was right. 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:22.080 You can have one under twenty five quarterback. Who you 0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:26.720 have and the choices wore Lamar Jackson, Kyler Murray, Josh Allen. 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:29.480 Just tell me it was Joe Burrow. Joe Burrow number one, 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:33.440 Oh wow, Josh Allen number two, then Justin Herbert, then 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:37.960 Lamar Jackson, then Kyler Murray. So the reigning MVP unanimous 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:41.040 MVP is fourth on this list. By the way, he's 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:44.280 younger than Joe Burrow. Yea, Burrow is older than Jackson 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:47.760 two h oh, I know, yeah, by Burrow better get 0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:50.080 used to throwing touchdowns at getting offensive holding on it. 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:53.280 That is the Bengals are gonna kill him. It's not him, 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:57.880 it's the Bengals. If they don't start enforcing holding, you're 0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:03.200 gonna have five, six, seven quarterbacks throw for you know, 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:07.200 over five thousand yards fifty five hundred yards, throw for 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:11.080 more than thirty touchdowns. I mean, it's it's pretty crazy 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:15.000 when you think about it. There are thirteen quarterbacks right now. 0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:18.360 On pace to throw at least thirty touchdown passes this season. 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:23.319 How many through for at least thirty touchdowns last year? 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:29.520 If you answered four, you would be correct. Doesn't that 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:32.079 seem low? I mean it used to be if you 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:35.200 got to thirty, that was an unbelievable year. But that 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:39.800 was back in the eighties. Now it feels like you 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:43.120 got to throw for thirty touchdowns. Yeah, Polly, it feels. 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:45.400 It's obvious that the NFL has told the refs not 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:47.480 to call offensive holding this year. It's I think it 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:49.880 was down fifty to six percent through the first month 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:51.760 of the season. But look at what we're not talking 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:55.240 about with the NFL referee calls and lack of offense. 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:58.320 We're talking about crazy offense and we're barely talking about 0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:00.640 refs at all the first month. Yeah, that's a good thing. 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:04.680 Here's another one of those, and I, of course, I 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:07.800 guess I apologize for thinking the Miami Dolphins, with ten 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:11.160 days to prepare for Russell Wilson Junior the third traveling 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:15.840 cross country a banged up team, don't bet on my picks. 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:19.920 That's the best advice I can tell. You are bad 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:24.040 against him if you want to. But I forgot that 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:28.360 this was October, not September. And mister September, Ryan Fitzpatrick 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:32.240 is not good in October, and they couldn't score touchdowns 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:35.720 and the Seahawks ended up winning that game. Now here's 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:39.600 another thing that you know, we'll talk about this tomorrow. 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:44.720 Probably I don't understand, you know how Vegas views these games. 0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:51.319 You got Atlanta and green Bay they're playing tonight. Atlanta 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:55.080 and green Bay had the first and twelfth worst scoring 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:59.880 defenses in the NFL. The average points in a Packers 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.720 game this year is sixty nine. The average points in 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:06.760 a Falcons game this year is sixty six. Why is 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:09.319 the over under at fifty six and a half points? 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:16.960 Then one of the six games played by either team 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:21.080 this year ended with less than sixty three points scored, 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:27.200 and that was Bears Falcons last week. This is why 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:31.520 I don't bet because if you said Falcons, Matt Ryan, 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:37.440 that got a good offense, Calvin Ridley's played well, Packers 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:42.040 at home fifty six and a half points? Are they 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:44.920 screaming now, don't bet on this? By the way, do 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:50.080 not this entertainment purposes only? Aren't they screaming to take 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:57.080 the over tonight? Right? It feels like that yeah mclub, 0:13:57.160 --> 0:14:00.000 which means it won't hit right because when it's that obvious, 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:03.000 it's a sucker badger way. That's the feeling I have. 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:09.000 But I don't know. I've heard the overs Vegas having 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:11.719 trouble setting. The O is the word on this street, right, 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:15.280 everything's going way over this year. By way, the DeVante 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:18.760 Adams out for the Packers. Ridley and Julio Jones both questionable. 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:22.960 Oh okay, so maybe that's why. But even so, it 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:26.960 could be it could be Peter King supplying some of 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:30.160 those stats. Theresable means playing by the way and pretty 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:33.840 much pretty much. Let me see Benjamin in Tennessee. We'll 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:36.640 check in with the Patriots coming up here. Hey Benjamin, 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:39.840 Hey Dan, Um, I got the best worst free of 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:44.000 this today? All right, um, My best of the weekend 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:47.480 is the game that some of your other colors have 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:50.720 been uh digging on is the Colts versus the Bears. 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:54.360 Big Colts fans, so nice to see us beat a 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:59.640 pretty solid defense there. The Colts and the ANFC South 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:03.680 boring because they have no deef or they have all 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:07.480 the defense, and they don't have high scoring games. And 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:11.280 that's why Dallas and the NFC East is the exciting division. 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:18.720 I did you fade out about halfway in kind of yeah, 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:20.800 I wasn't sure where we were going there. The FC 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:24.720 is tough. Yeah, that's why the AFC South is so boring. 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:27.480 It's hard to put your finger on it. But I 0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:33.120 relate to that about being boring the South, like all 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:35.080 they're they're you know, when you're flipping through it's Sunday 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:40.120 one o'clock, it's like, oh, they're the cults flip Titans. 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:44.240 I'm a little I'm a little more curious about the Titans, 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:48.760 just their whole game plan. Not really you're saying, you're 0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:52.040 right now. I know Nashville. They always get mad at me. 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:55.720 You don't like us, And it's not nothing. Don't take 0:15:55.720 --> 0:16:01.120 it personally, didetically aesthetically, it's you know, it just leaves 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:03.240 a little bit to be desired. Yes, that's a big 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:05.760 loss by the Jacks. They gotta be pumped up about that. 0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:08.680 They're back in the they're back in business. For drag. 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:14.720 I didn't even know they played yesterday and you come 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:18.680 in going, man, Jacksonville, but that was bad, and I go, wait, 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:21.480 what are you talking about? Like that was a bad loss? There, 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:23.640 but they were, they were beating the Bengals. The Bengals 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:25.920 can't make a mistakes. And then I just noticed the 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:29.080 Bengals were playing. I didn't notice Jacksonville was playing. And 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:32.359 then all of a sudden, mccleman's off the Gardner Minshoe bandwagon. 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:37.200 Yeah that's not happening. And then didn't you tell me that, hey, 0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:40.760 they're not tanking, And I go, they're eventually they're gonna 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:43.240 be tanking. But those New York teams are gonna be 0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:49.600 tough to knock off. Yeah, I don't. The Giants, though, 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:54.480 did play hard. I mean they made that competitive. But 0:16:55.640 --> 0:17:00.920 the Jets are their Jets are dreadful. And Washington, poor 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:06.440 Ron Rivera battling cancer treatment, getting an IV at halftime, 0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:10.440 and you know, if you go through that, you get nauseous. Normally, 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:12.919 he doesn't need that to get nauseous. He can just 0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:14.960 go out there and watch his team and get nauseous. 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:21.760 But uh, heroic effort by him, not by his team. Yeah, McLeman, 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:25.320 what are you hearing about Giants quarterback Daniel Jones? That 0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:29.119 he's better than I think what people look at. You 0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:30.879 know when you look at the numbers there, that he 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:34.960 is better than what the optics are. But I don't 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:40.200 know if I don't see it yet, and I don't 0:17:40.240 --> 0:17:42.880 know if we're gonna see it this year. But let's 0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:45.199 put it this way. If the Giants are on the 0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:51.000 clock and you have Joe Judge, who this is his 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:53.800 first year there, does he want to get his quarterback 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:56.360 in there? If you can take Trevor Lawrence? Like, how 0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:59.439 many teams would take Trevor Lawrence right now? Washington with 0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:04.439 Dwayne Hans yes, Jets with Sam Darnold yes, Giants, Daniel 0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:09.639 Jones yes, Jags Gardner Minshoe yes. Who else would be 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:13.040 on that list? The Bengals are not taking Trevor Lawrence 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:18.160 at Atlanta would take Trevor Lawrence. If Houston keeps losing, 0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:23.720 you still have Deshaun Watson and you just signed him up, 0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:28.880 So Houston will Houston will make it respectable this year? 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:31.719 I don't think they're in the same boat. They've had 0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:36.800 a pretty tough schedule. Yeah, but Houston has Jacksonville twice 0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:39.080 in the next month. He could either go very well 0:18:39.200 --> 0:18:42.400 or horrendous. Because they have Tennessee in Green Bay in 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:46.240 that window as well, it could go horrendously. How about 0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:52.720 Fritzie's Broncos with the injuries at quarterback. Yeah, maybe if 0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:57.800 Trevor Lawrences and you got Drew Luck. Drew Luck was 0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:03.280 his second round pick. Yeah, wait, it's your team. I 0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:05.440 didn't memorize what round Pickie was. I think he was 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:09.640 a second I never professed to know every single thing 0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:13.879 about the history of the Broncos. I bring up a 0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:16.560 topic you should know something about, and you say, oh, 0:19:16.560 --> 0:19:18.119 I don't know everything about it. I will say that 0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:20.760 we haven't seen enough of Drew Locke to either give 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:22.040 up on him. Or do you want me to bring 0:19:22.119 --> 0:19:27.560 up onion bagels? Yeah, yeah, bring up something that you're 0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:30.880 an expert in. I think Drew Locke was the second 0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:33.640 round Drew is right, Okay, that's correct, all right. Thanks 0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:37.080 see not my team, I know, yeah, I should know 0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:39.320 that off the top. Thank you. All right, Well, take 0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:41.760 a break.

More 0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:19.719 phone calls coming up best and worst to the weekend. 0:20:19.800 --> 0:20:22.520 Once you saw that you liked, you didn't like? I 0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:27.720 just saw this from Mark Stein. NBA insider John Lucas 0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:31.960 is emerging as a candidate with the Rockets as they 0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:34.720 continue to look for a new head coach. He was 0:20:34.880 --> 0:20:39.000 part of the Rockets player development coaches with Mike d'antoni's 0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:42.959 staff in the past four seasons. Has strong working relationships 0:20:42.960 --> 0:20:46.240 with James Harden and Russell Westbrook. It's nice to have 0:20:46.240 --> 0:20:49.919 a great relationship. Can you help Russell with his jump shot? Like? 0:20:50.000 --> 0:20:51.840 That's what I would want to know. Hey, you got 0:20:51.880 --> 0:20:54.600 a strong relationship with him? Can you help him shoot? 0:20:55.000 --> 0:20:57.480 All right, we'll get to our best and worst of 0:20:57.480 --> 0:21:01.960 the weekend coming up. Mike Reas, ESPN NFL Nation reporter 0:21:02.119 --> 0:21:06.440 covering the Patriots and also an analyst for ESPN Boston 0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:09.440 dot Com, kind enough to join us here, Mike, good morning, 0:21:09.440 --> 0:21:11.320 Thanks for joining us. How would you sum up the 0:21:11.400 --> 0:21:15.359 last couple of days with the Patriots. Wow. You know, 0:21:15.440 --> 0:21:20.400 for the players, Dan, totally topsy turvy. I think Saturday, 0:21:20.480 --> 0:21:23.520 they get the word that Cam Newton had tested positive 0:21:23.840 --> 0:21:26.439 for COVID nineteen and a lot of questions and a 0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:29.080 lot of concerns. You know, I would say it highlights 0:21:29.119 --> 0:21:31.680 to me the humans side of the game. You know, Initially, 0:21:31.720 --> 0:21:34.480 some of the players that I had communicated with said, 0:21:34.920 --> 0:21:37.120 we're really going to go forward and play this game? 0:21:37.240 --> 0:21:39.760 Is it worth the risk of doing so? And I 0:21:39.800 --> 0:21:42.000 think as we talk right now, maybe there's been a 0:21:42.000 --> 0:21:45.119 little more acceptance among some of the players just to 0:21:45.160 --> 0:21:48.680 move forward as time has passed a little bit. As 0:21:48.760 --> 0:21:53.760 Cam's spoken, he hasn't. He just posted something on Instagram 0:21:54.160 --> 0:21:57.800 yesterday afternoon just saying thank you for the love and 0:21:57.920 --> 0:22:00.800 support and that he's going to take this time to 0:22:00.880 --> 0:22:03.200 get healthy. And that's really all we've heard from Cam. 0:22:04.000 --> 0:22:08.840 Why Brian Hoyer not Jared Stidham tonight? Terrific question? And 0:22:08.920 --> 0:22:12.080 really after all off season we've been talking how Jared 0:22:12.160 --> 0:22:15.640 Stidham at the inside track right to be Tom Brady's 0:22:15.720 --> 0:22:18.679 heir apparent. And let's say two things, Dan, you know, 0:22:18.680 --> 0:22:21.119 the first thing when Cam came in July eighth, that 0:22:21.280 --> 0:22:23.679 was like a last minute type thing, and it was 0:22:23.720 --> 0:22:25.840 sort of clear like it was going to be Cam 0:22:25.880 --> 0:22:28.879 as long as it didn't go sideways. But really everyone 0:22:28.920 --> 0:22:31.919 thought Jarrett would be the number two and everything changed 0:22:31.960 --> 0:22:35.680 for him the fourth day of training camp. He went 0:22:35.720 --> 0:22:38.520 to a Boston hospital for tests on his leg and 0:22:38.560 --> 0:22:41.040 the tests came back negative. But when he was on 0:22:41.080 --> 0:22:44.160 the field for the next practice, his reps were really 0:22:44.240 --> 0:22:47.880 diminished and it sort of went from a three picture 0:22:48.040 --> 0:22:52.920 quarterback snapshot to just two. And Stidham never really developed 0:22:52.920 --> 0:22:56.719 any momentum after that and never really made a charge 0:22:56.760 --> 0:22:59.640 to sort of change the team's mind that he should 0:22:59.680 --> 0:23:02.440 be the number two guys. So I think the experience 0:23:02.480 --> 0:23:05.200 of Howyer here is something they're a little more comfortable 0:23:05.240 --> 0:23:07.320 with after that sort of change the fourth day of 0:23:07.400 --> 0:23:10.080 training camp and also going on the road, you'd probably 0:23:10.119 --> 0:23:13.080 want to go with a veteran leadership with Hoyer. But 0:23:14.320 --> 0:23:17.359 how are the travel arrangements different for the Patriots for 0:23:17.400 --> 0:23:20.439 this game as opposed to a normal game? Well, how 0:23:20.440 --> 0:23:23.280 about a twenty two hour work day. That's basically what 0:23:23.320 --> 0:23:25.840 they're looking at. Check this out. They woke up this 0:23:25.920 --> 0:23:28.760 morning before the sun came up here in New England. 0:23:29.040 --> 0:23:32.919
