1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:08,640 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Congratulations to Alabama and head coach Nick Saban, 3 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:12,480 Speaker 1: Alabama crushing Ohio State last night in Miami. That Saban's 4 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:16,439 Speaker 1: seventh national title six with Alabama won with ls shoe 5 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: as he broke the longtime record of Bear Bryant, who 6 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 1: had a record six national championships. And really the amazing 7 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 1: thing about this Alabama team, Nick Saban has always been 8 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: a run first, defensive minded head coach, and he won 9 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,559 Speaker 1: a national title with the record breaking offense, and you 10 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 1: could argue that, you know, he faces challenges that Bear 11 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: Bryant couldn't have imagined. You talk about the media scrutiny, 12 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,239 Speaker 1: the transfer portal, you talk about players leaving early, but 13 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: Saban handled all of it quite well. And we love 14 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: to put an asterisk by these championships during COVID, Just 15 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 1: like with the Lakers, I don't think anybody has earned 16 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: a title more so than what the Lakers did this 17 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: past year, and the same with Alabama. Alabama didn't have cupcakes, 18 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,960 Speaker 1: they didn't play the SID at all, they didn't play Samford, 19 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: they played the SEC this year. They played the SEC 20 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,399 Speaker 1: the entire season. And then you go into the playoffs 21 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: and they beat up on Notre Dame and then they 22 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 1: roughed up Ohio State last night. And keep in mind 23 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: Saban was diagnosed twice with COVID. The first one was 24 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 1: a false positive, the next one was the real thing. 25 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: But it didn't slow down Alabama. And you credit the 26 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,479 Speaker 1: head coach. He established a consistent level of excellence throughout 27 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: the program. And I hope that he takes a moment 28 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: to enjoy it, but he won't. He will not take 29 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: Maybe he'll take a moment, literally a moment, and that's it. 30 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: He's probably calling recruits right now because he wants to 31 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: work on that eighth national championship in Tuscaloosa. There's a 32 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: lot of things to process from last night's game. I 33 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: didn't know how healthy Ohio State was going to be. 34 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: I still don't know how healthy Justin Fields was last night. 35 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: They Trey Sermon on the first drive and it just 36 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: felt like the defensive line was not fully assembled there. 37 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: And you can't have any of those mistakes. You have 38 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: to have a full arsenal to go against Alabama, and 39 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 1: they didn't have that last night. But you saw the difference. 40 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 1: As I said, six weeks ago when I watched Alabama, 41 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: I kept coming back to there is no DeVante Smith 42 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: elsewhere in college football. He was the best player on 43 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: the field every single game that he played. And I 44 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: didn't understand the logic because I'm looking at Davonte Smith, 45 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 1: I have to take him out of the game. How 46 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: do I take him out of the game. I just 47 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: put two guys on him because Jaalen Waddle can't beat me. 48 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle did his best. He probably shouldn't have been 49 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: in there, but he's not going to beat me. Naja 50 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: Harris can beat me, but that's okay. That might be 51 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: more of a slow drip than a guilloteam with Davonte Smith. 52 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 1: I just didn't understand the philosophy. And granted, you've got 53 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 1: grown men who have got quite quite a lengthy resume 54 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: who were doing these jobs there. But as an observer, 55 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: I'm watching going I can't let Davonte Smith have the ball. 56 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: If he does, I have two guys always on him. 57 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: And I kept going back to Bill Belichick. What would 58 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: Belichick have done if he was facing Davonte Smith? And 59 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 1: we're going to find this out next year in the NFL. 60 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: But he always takes away your best weapon. Well, your 61 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,959 Speaker 1: best weapon is Davante Smith. Mac Jones is very good. 62 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: Davante Smith is different. And I kept wondering you sort 63 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: of had single coverage. You always had somebody was shading over. 64 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: But you know, Alabama and Steve Sarkisian called a great 65 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: game at one point when a linebacker ended up on 66 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: Davonte Smith. I thought that was inexcusable. I'm gonna give 67 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: mac Jones credit, looked off the safety, but a linebacker 68 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: should never be on DeVante Smith ever, even going across 69 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: the middle, because you see there's a different gear that 70 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: he has, and he was unbelievable in the first half 71 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: and then dislocated his finger in the second half. Who knows, 72 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 1: he'd probably have three hundred yards receiving twenty catches if 73 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: he wanted to last night. That can't happen against a 74 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: team like Ohio State, even if you're missing a couple 75 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: of defensive linemen there. But watching him play and you know, 76 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: it's a treat. It really was. It was a treat 77 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: to watch him this year and mac Jones as well. 78 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: And that Alabama team wasn't a great defensive team, but boy, 79 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: that was a great offensive team. And I know as 80 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: we move along, every quarterback is going to be expected 81 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: to complete sixty five percent of his passes, maybe seventy percent. 82 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: You know, Mac Jones was seventy six percent I think 83 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: this year. But the way it is with offense now, 84 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: and this is what Saban did. Saban evolved because it 85 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: was a defensive minded team, running team, and then he 86 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: realized I need to spice up my offense and he 87 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 1: brought in Lane Kiffin, he brought in Steve Sarkisian. You 88 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: know that to me was his signal of saying, all right, 89 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: I'm joining everybody else and when I do, look out, now, 90 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: is that offense better than LSU's offense from last year. 91 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,119 Speaker 1: It's a good debate. It's a fun debate, I think. 92 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: But LSU had a variety of skilled position players as 93 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: far as wide receivers. They had a very talented running back, 94 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: and Joe Burrow had the greatest year a college quarterback 95 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: has ever had Alabama. We've never counted on Alabama to 96 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: have a great quarterback. You can have a good quarterback, 97 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 1: very good quarterback. Jalen Hurts was a very good quarterback. 98 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: Tua came in what Nick Saban wants is a great 99 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: offensive and defensive line. Get a couple of guys who 100 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: can cover. I got wide receivers, and he always has 101 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: a really good running back. Now I want a quarterback 102 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 1: who doesn't make mistakes. I mean, really, that's what it is. 103 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: But Mac Jones was more than that this year. But 104 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: if you're only going to hit him twice, you're not 105 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: going to beat him. And look, it was a long 106 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: shot that they were going to be able to beat him, 107 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 1: given everything that they went through at Ohio State and 108 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,679 Speaker 1: who knows how much covid ravage that lineup. But watching 109 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: last night, Alabama went onto that field knowing that they 110 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: were going to win. I think Ohio State hope they'd win. 111 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: Alabama knew it was going to win. And when you 112 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: lose Trey Sermon right away and he had been unbelievable, 113 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: then that's just another one of those We're already losing players, 114 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: we lost players, and then we lose our star running 115 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 1: back as well. I started to wonder about this. I 116 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 1: grew up loving dynasties. I grew up with UCLA basketball, 117 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers, Boston Celtics. There was a dynasty. 118 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: I like that. There's the team to knock off, you 119 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: have to beat that team. And I don't know if 120 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: you like college football where it seems predictable because the 121 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: SEC is going to play for the national championship. Somebody 122 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: is going to and Alabama has won six of the 123 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: last twelve national championships. That's predictable. But I do want, 124 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 1: and I think we all want the best team to win. 125 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: Like when you say that's a great team, they deserve 126 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: the national championship. Now in college basketball, it's a little different. 127 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: We like when the little guy gets a chance to 128 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: play against the big guys, but we don't want them 129 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: necessarily to win a championship. We want the team that 130 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: is the best team the entire season, not just for 131 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: a weekend or a couple of weeks. Alabama's predictable. If 132 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: I was twelve years of age, I'd probably love this. 133 00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:00,040 Speaker 1: But there's part of me that says I'd like a 134 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: little more variety. I'd love for college football to be 135 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: spread out across the country a little bit more, because 136 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: when you think about it, when we start this next season, 137 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: how many teams do you think have a chance to 138 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: win the national championship not get in the final four. 139 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: I'm just talking about win the championship, and you're probably 140 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: going to go six, maybe seven, eight at the most. 141 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: That's it, and three or four are going to be 142 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 1: in the SEC. You'll have one in the ACC, one 143 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: in the Big Ten, maybe Notre Dame, and maybe you 144 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 1: get an outlier out west. But that's about it. College 145 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 1: football is predictable. But this is the greatest coach that 146 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: we have in college sports right now and one of 147 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: the greats of all time. He's got star players, he 148 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: recruits well, so it's it's predictable, but I don't know 149 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 1: if it's good for college football.

Salt, thanks for joining us on short notice. 162 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: So was Doug Peterson fired? Yes, he was fired. And 163 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: I think the chronology of it, Dan, is pretty simple. 164 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,199 Speaker 1: You got to go back to last year. He announced 165 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: that Mike grow his then offensive coordinator, would be staying 166 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: on and then within a day later he had to 167 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,439 Speaker 1: reverse direction and Micro was fired along with some other assistant. 168 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: So I think it started there, and then it built 169 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: up to the point where he said in his postseason 170 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 1: press conference with Howie Roseman that he wanted to have 171 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: more control over picking coaches and perhaps players, and that 172 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: was a signal. And maybe it was a signal that 173 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:31,679 Speaker 1: we didn't really catch onto enough, but it was pretty clear. 174 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: And then there was some offensive assistance let go. He 175 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: had this group of offensive coaches helping him. Morning Wig 176 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: Scangarella gone gone, and he wanted to make Press Taylor 177 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: his offensive coordinator, elevate him from quarterbacks coach, and the 178 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: organization didn't agree with that direction, and so they parted ways. 179 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: How attractive is this Eagles, John, I don't know, Dan, 180 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,319 Speaker 1: I don't know how atractive it is. Listen is one 181 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: of thirty two jobs, right, you know somebody's going to 182 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: take the job. There's going to be a lot of 183 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: money involved. You don't turn down at a NFL head 184 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: coaching job. But if you have seven openings, you have 185 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: a lot of more lucrative situations, more attractive situations. Let's 186 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: start with the obvious. You're walking into a home cooked 187 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: quarterback controversy. That's never good for a head coach. Two, 188 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:37,199 Speaker 1: your offensive line was absolutely devastated by injuries thirteen different 189 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: offensive line combinations, most in the NFL. It destroyed Wentz's 190 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: ability to play. And let's be truthful about it, Jalen 191 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: Hurtz didn't look good on the run either, constantly under pressure. 192 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: Your general manager perhaps made a hundred and thirty six 193 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: million dollar mistake and kept his job. And so you're 194 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: walking into a situation as a head coach where you 195 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: already had the GM picked for you. You have two quarterbacks, 196 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 1: one of whom had one of the worst seasons in 197 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: NFL history, is certainly in franchise history. And so your 198 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: first question has to be to Jeffrey Lorry, what are 199 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: we doing at quarterback? And he says back to you, 200 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 1: right then he says can you fix Carson Wentz? And 201 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: you're saying, oh, oh, time out. The decision to keep 202 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz is an organizational decision. So what's the decision 203 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: by the organization. Are we keeping him? Are we trying 204 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: to move him? Are we shopping him? If we're keeping him. 205 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: If you're telling me my job is to fix Carson Wentz, 206 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: then that's a completely different conversation. Do you think Doug 207 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: Peterson's happy he's out of there? Oh? Oh, you know. 208 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: I know Doug well. Doug is a really centered, grounded, 209 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: nice guy. I've been covering the league going back to 210 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty eight. He's my favorite guy I've ever had 211 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 1: to cover. Favorite, easy bar none. He's available, he is truthful, 212 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: he's a solid family guy. He's about making sure his 213 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: players are taking care of and he's a really easy 214 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 1: guy to talk to and get along with. And I 215 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: think Doug is about right now. In fact, I talked 216 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: to someone close to him yesterday, Dan Doug is right 217 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 1: now about taking some time, letting the air out of 218 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 1: the pressure a little bit, go back to his home 219 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 1: in Jupiter, Florida with his wife, Jeanie and his beautiful family. 220 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: They're very faith based faith centered. They'll talk about it, 221 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 1: they'll pray about it, and then they'll decide what to do. 222 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: So I think he's relieved that he doesn't have to 223 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: deal with what he had. Listen, you gotta remember he 224 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,680 Speaker 1: started the season in August with COVID nineteen. You remember that, right, 225 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,559 Speaker 1: He survived the deadliest disease known to man in a 226 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:17,839 Speaker 1: hundred years. And so maybe he's thinking, Okay, I gotta 227 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 1: just be mindful of where I am in life. I 228 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: brought a super Bowl title to a city that never 229 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: had one. I have a beautiful family. I've made a 230 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: lot of money. Let's just take a breath and see 231 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: where we are. I'm talking to South Palantonio of the Mothership. Yeah, 232 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: just trying to figure this out. When you start to 233 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: look at they got some older players, they missed on 234 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: some draft picks, the quarterbacking situation there, there's other openings 235 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: that feel like they're far more advantageous for somebody if 236 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: they're going to take their first NFL job, that they 237 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: would go into that. The expectation level is still high 238 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: in Philadelphia. It's a little bit yeah, yeah, yeah, But 239 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: would they let him go if they didn't already have 240 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: a plan in play, because normally you're if you make 241 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 1: a decision like this, you have a pretty good idea 242 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: of what you're going to do to follow up this decision. Yeah, 243 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: and this is something that you and I talked about 244 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: last week. I was against firing Doug Peterson and I'm 245 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: still against it. And I said to you last week, 246 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: I want to know what the plan is. Right you 247 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: say you want a revolution, let me know what the 248 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: plan is. So right now, I feel like they're interested 249 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 1: in interviewing Mike Kafka, the quarterbacks coach under Andy Read 250 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: in Kansas City. They tried to make Kafka a candidate 251 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: for offensive coordinator last year and we're rebuffed by Big Red. 252 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: I think they will look at Eric the enemy and 253 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 1: will definitely interview him. I think they will have a sincere, 254 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: authentic interest in interviewing Deuce Danley, their running backs coach, 255 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: an assistant head coach, and they should. News is really 256 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: well liked in the locker and it's Deuces time for sure, 257 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: and they should look at him. I know they're interested 258 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 1: in Brian day Ball. Day Ball is a Bob Lamont client. 259 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: So is Howie Roseman. As everybody has well documented, Lamont 260 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: likes to have the GM and the coach in the 261 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 1: same place. Problem is, I think the Jets and the 262 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 1: Chargers both that serious interest in day ball, and day 263 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: ball has serious interest in those teams, which goes back 264 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: to your point, those two places may be more loot, 265 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: maybe more attractive than Philly because of Herbert and the 266 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: second overall pick. I'll leave you with this. Do we 267 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: still know exactly what happened with the Nate Saidfeld decision 268 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: in when he was going to play and whose call 269 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 1: it was, because I'm still fascinated by that, and it 270 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: feels like that locker room may have gotten fractured because 271 00:16:55,680 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 1: of this. Dan to quote Bill Belichick, I'm on a Cincinnati. 272 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: Great to talk to you South. Thanks for Johnny us 273 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: South Valentonio the Mothership. Be sure to catch the live 274 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: edition of The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am 275 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: Eastern six am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the 276 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,919 Speaker 1: iHeart Radio WAP. The Cleveland Browns will face off with 277 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs and their stars. Center JC tredder 278 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:29,160 Speaker 1: Back on the program. He's also the NFL Players Association President. 279 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: Glad to have you on. After the big win there, 280 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: I was curious when you saw the snap by Pouncy 281 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: over Ben's head. As a center, when do you know 282 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 1: that you've had a snap that is not going to 283 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 1: hit its target? Usually right away? And I think out 284 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 1: of my career, if you go back and listen to 285 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: TV copies, I think they've caught me instantly cussing the 286 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 1: moment the play gets gets started, because you know it 287 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:03,159 Speaker 1: immediately almost so it's basically an O bleep. Yeah, do 288 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,679 Speaker 1: you apologize to the How long do you wait to 289 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 1: apologize to the quarterback? They usually know that the center 290 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 1: is usually pretty upset as is, so I think they 291 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,400 Speaker 1: usually lay off you for a little bit and keep 292 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,959 Speaker 1: their distance because they know you're pretty fired up yourself. 293 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: What was your reaction when you saw that snap. It's 294 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 1: a little funny because it's I probably every offensive line 295 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,919 Speaker 1: does it, but pretty much every first series of the 296 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: of the game, you kind of sit there and say, man, 297 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: at defensive touchdown would be nice right now, huh, And 298 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,880 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, the first play that happened, 299 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: so uh. You know, it got a few chuckles out 300 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: of the guys on the sidelines because we've done that 301 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 1: almost every game, said that before the first snap of 302 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,120 Speaker 1: the game, and then it happens, and it just gives 303 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:46,639 Speaker 1: you a bunch of momentum, kind of a shot in 304 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: the arm to get that game started. The twenty eight 305 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: to nothing. When you're leading twenty eight to nothing, it's 306 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 1: still the first quarter, like that's it. I don't know 307 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 1: what that feelings like because you still have the whole 308 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,640 Speaker 1: you know, three more quarters and you're playing Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh. 309 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 1: What was that like? That feeling? Yeah? I mean the 310 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,719 Speaker 1: first thought is you can't get complacent. You can't start 311 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: thinking that that's that's enough. You know how talented they 312 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 1: are on offense and how talent they are on defense. 313 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,640 Speaker 1: You gotta keep scoring, and you just gotta keep plugging away, 314 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,199 Speaker 1: understanding that you're you're off to a great start, but 315 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:21,679 Speaker 1: there's still a lot of time left and they can 316 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: do a lot of damage really quickly. But when Pittsburgh 317 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,880 Speaker 1: cuts it to twelve, what are you thinking, We got 318 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: to score. You knew you had to put on a 319 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 1: drive that's gonna extend the lead, push it further ahead, 320 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: and just give the defense to time. I think if 321 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,160 Speaker 1: you look back at the time to possession, we knew 322 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: our defense was on the field the vast majority of 323 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 1: that game, and we knew we had to put a 324 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,880 Speaker 1: drive together, a long one that gave them a time 325 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: to rest and recover and then get back out there 326 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 1: to finish strong. And it may sound strange, JC, but 327 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 1: I did say this yesterday without a crowd there. If 328 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: there was a crowd, I don't think Pittsburgh falls behind 329 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,199 Speaker 1: twenty eight to nothing. Is I just don't know if 330 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: the crowd allows them to. It's weird. I just felt 331 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 1: that that there was no crowd. It felt like that 332 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,479 Speaker 1: that neutralized Hinz Field. For you guys, how did it 333 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: feel not hearing that crowd that you've normally heard before. Well, 334 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: I think it also impacts the momentum of the game, 335 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 1: where it's without the fans there to kind of revitalize 336 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 1: a team or re energize the team. What's happening in 337 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,360 Speaker 1: the game has a lot more impact on the momentum 338 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 1: of the game, where when when something goes wrong, that 339 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: the team itself has to kind of straighten the course 340 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,719 Speaker 1: and not rely on the outside fact of the fans 341 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: getting more involved and getting the crowd noise up. So 342 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: I think that definitely impacts it. Without fans of the 343 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,160 Speaker 1: stadium when when something like that goes wrong, I think 344 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 1: it impacts teams a little more. He's the Brown center 345 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: JC Tredder joning us. He's also the NFL Players Association 346 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 1: president telling me the story about Blake, hence that Baker 347 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,159 Speaker 1: said he didn't even know who his offensive guard was, 348 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 1: you know, getting ready for the game. How does that happen? 349 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 1: We've had some some injury issues and some COVID issues 350 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: in the last couple of weeks. We brought some new 351 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,160 Speaker 1: guys into the end of the team, and we haven't 352 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 1: been able to really practice that much, so we haven't 353 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: had much time at the facility for the new guys 354 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,119 Speaker 1: to get used to practice and get to know everybody. 355 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: So once our fill in left guard got hurt, you know, 356 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: we had to bring in a guy who was here 357 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,360 Speaker 1: for a week and only practice really one day with us, 358 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 1: and you know, he came jogging in. I remember pulling 359 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 1: him aside and I was like, Hey, what don't you 360 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: know right now? Like what are you worried about? So 361 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: I can try to fill you in these next three 362 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 1: minutes before we have to go out there and keep playing. 363 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 1: But yeah, I think Baker said that he introduced himself 364 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 1: the lock in the locker room before the game, the 365 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 1: first time they actually spoke. It's just kind of a 366 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 1: crazy year. How important is practice this time of the 367 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 1: year in person? It depends. There's definitely a use for 368 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: it when it comes to keeping your acclamation up and 369 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: keeping your muscles and tendons and tissues loaded so you 370 00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: don't have soft tissue injuries. You need to be able 371 00:21:59,920 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: to run around and cut that for that reason. But 372 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 1: I think there's definitely a benefit to keeping guys healthy 373 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: and having guys fresh, and there's always that balance of 374 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,680 Speaker 1: what to do. Now we are forced into kind of 375 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: an unscheduled mini bye week, and I know when I 376 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: got back to the practice field on Friday, it was 377 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 1: probably the best I've felt this late in a season 378 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: in a long time. So there are definitely benefits too, 379 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: and it's up to the coaches to kind of make 380 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,439 Speaker 1: that balance of how much rest do you give, how 381 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,679 Speaker 1: much practice do you need? And now our hand was forced, 382 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 1: but I think it definitely if you look at a 383 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: glass half fold helped us starting fast and just playing 384 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 1: really fast. What do you think Coach Stefans gave his 385 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 1: like at home in his basement. Well, I'm sure a 386 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: lot of nerves, a little feeling of helplessness after the 387 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,919 Speaker 1: first nap. Probably that those feelings go away a little bit, 388 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 1: probably settles you in knowing that you get a big 389 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,400 Speaker 1: play to start the game. But I'm sure it's tough. 390 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 1: He's been such a great leader for us all season 391 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 1: to not be able to be there and be in 392 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 1: it and help lead us. I'm sure as a difficult 393 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,679 Speaker 1: thing to sit back and have to watch what's the 394 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 1: game plan against Kansas City? Offensively well, and then they're 395 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: super talented and both facets, both their offense and their defense. 396 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,119 Speaker 1: I think, as in any game, we have to be 397 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:16,719 Speaker 1: able to run the ball. That's kind of been our 398 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 1: staple all year. We have to be able to run 399 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: the ball, keep the ball in our possession as much 400 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 1: as possible. And then we got to be able to 401 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,679 Speaker 1: protect the quarterback. And they've got great rushers on that 402 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 1: side of the ball, just like Pittsburgh did, and we 403 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 1: have to do a good job of putting our guys 404 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: in position to protect as long as possible, as long 405 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: as Baker needs to make the throws he needs to 406 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 1: make to keep moving the chains. Do you find yourself 407 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: at all trying to calm him down, Baker, No, for 408 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 1: I don't think I could. But I think he's been 409 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: he's been so great, so great for us, both as 410 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: a player this year and a leader, and he's really 411 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: taking that next step in both of those departments this 412 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 1: entire year. And he's everything you want as on the sideline, 413 00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 1: as a leader on the field, as a leader in 414 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 1: the locker room, as a leader. I just want to 415 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: get into this. I got to match Patrick Mahomes. I 416 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: don't want him to get into this ego thing. You 417 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: guys know your identity, and I think that's the reason 418 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 1: why you guys are so dangerous is you're a running 419 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: team and play action. And can you tell Baker I 420 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 1: said that, j C. Just so you remind him, don't 421 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 1: try to do anything. You know, you're not Mahomes. You 422 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,159 Speaker 1: don't need to be Mahomes. You can still beat Mahomes. 423 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 1: But you got to listen to me. Okay, I'll let 424 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 1: him know. But I think Baker knows his only focus 425 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,640 Speaker 1: is winning right now. So I don't think he's worried 426 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: about stats or anything like that. He's just worried about 427 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: what the final score at the end of the game 428 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 1: is and whether the Browns have more points than whoever 429 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:43,120 Speaker 1: they're playing. As the NFL Players Association president, everybody's all 430 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 1: in on an extra game next season. Well, we already 431 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 1: negotiated that, I know, But is everybody all in on 432 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 1: this that? What was the vote? Do you know what 433 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,360 Speaker 1: the percentage was of those who said yea and nay? 434 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 1: I think it passed by like sixty total votes right 435 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 1: around there, So it was a tight vote. And I 436 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 1: know that was a point of contention, was the additional game, 437 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 1: but that's what the majority of the players voted to 438 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: pass with the gains we made in revenue, minimum salaries, 439 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: player safety issues. So we got gains back in exchange 440 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,159 Speaker 1: for that game, and now we're continuing to work on 441 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 1: those player safety issues and continue and try to make 442 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: changes for the betterment of the player's health and well 443 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: being even after the CBA has done. I just worry 444 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: about another couple of dead games though, JC that don't 445 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: mean anything. And I don't know. I just everybody once 446 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: more but more is not better here, And I know 447 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: it gives you guys an extra paycheck, but I don't 448 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 1: think the quality of play you're gonna have teams that 449 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: are going to be clinching in Week fifteen, and then 450 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 1: what do you do with those games? And then what 451 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 1: if you're playing a playoff team like Philadelphia did against Washington. 452 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 1: Those are the things I'm concerned most about. Yeah, I think, 453 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's what the league has to 454 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 1: look at. So they purchased the option to go to 455 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,439 Speaker 1: seventeen games, and they have to make the decision of 456 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: when they want to and if they want to. So 457 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 1: you know, they've already made that purchase and now they 458 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 1: have to kind of make those decisions and look at 459 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,639 Speaker 1: all the information of what's best for the game of 460 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: football itself. Also, they haven't decided yet. They purchased the 461 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 1: right to do it, but they haven't decided if they're 462 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: going to do it next year, right. I think the 463 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 1: last the last I've heard is they've talked about how 464 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: they would do it schedule wise and what they would 465 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 1: need to do, But I don't think they've officially moved 466 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 1: forward with the seventeenth game as of now. Good luck 467 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:37,199 Speaker 1: in Kansas City and tell Baker that people did believe 468 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,879 Speaker 1: in the Browns. Okay, that will do People did and 469 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,880 Speaker 1: do believe in the browns. Oh, I hate when players 470 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 1: do that, okay, and tell him to keep his hat 471 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: on backwards as well. You know, I'm fine with that. 472 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 1: I don't have any problem with that. Okay, sounds good? 473 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 1: All right? Thank you. JC. Absolutely have to go on, 474 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,440 Speaker 1: Jac Trader. He went to an IVY League school. McLevin. 475 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to The Dan Patrick Show podcast.

Coach, thanks for joining us. 481 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,640 Speaker 1: Do you watch the National Title game? I sure did? 482 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 1: And what a game, what a team? What do you 483 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 1: take away from How do you watch that game as 484 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,359 Speaker 1: a coach or as a fan? Oh? Definitely as a coach, 485 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 1: watching the ebb and flow of the game and the 486 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 1: excitement of it. You know, early in the ballgame, I said, 487 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: we got to have a heck of a game. I 488 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 1: don't know if either one of them is going to 489 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,679 Speaker 1: stop the other one. And then Alabama's defense really rose up, 490 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 1: and well that the Big three of Alabama might be 491 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 1: the best big free to come out of college in 492 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 1: a long time. But when you see Davonte Smith, what 493 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: do you see in how that translates to the NFL? No, 494 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,200 Speaker 1: that translates. He's got instant speed. He's got one of 495 00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 1: those bodies that he can twist and turn and make 496 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: those shows back shoulder catches look routine and then they're 497 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: not routine. He's strong. He's slender, but he's strong, and 498 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 1: he would make a great transition. I also am not 499 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: sure about this, and you being a quarterbacks guy, when 500 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,120 Speaker 1: you see someone like Mac Jones, he's surrounded by all 501 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,440 Speaker 1: this talent, But if you're assessing his talent, how hard 502 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,440 Speaker 1: it is is it to remove the talent around him 503 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,160 Speaker 1: to just assess his talents? Well, I think the first 504 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,159 Speaker 1: thing you look for in a quarterback is a brain. 505 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 1: He's obviously a really really bright young man. And then accuracy, 506 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 1: and he has great accuracy with the ball. He is 507 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 1: not one of the more mobile guys that some people 508 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 1: really love. But if you're gonna play from the pocket 509 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 1: and move him around like they do very much similar 510 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 1: to what we do. He's a very talented young man 511 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 1: who does Davante Smith remind you of He's kind of 512 00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 1: a mixture of Calvin Ridley and Julio Jones. He's got 513 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 1: the height, speed, you know, not quite the bulk of Julio, 514 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: but the slipperiness of Calvin. I mean they were Alabama's 515 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 1: turned out some great receivers. He might be one of 516 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 1: the best next to Julio. And they got that. He's 517 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 1: got that different gear like very very few people coach 518 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 1: have that gear where you go, WHOA, that's that's that's 519 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 1: game changing speed. Yeah, and it's frightening because he doesn't 520 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 1: look like he has it. He's just gliding and when 521 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 1: he takes those screens and turns the corners. I mean, 522 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: those are great players at Ohio State also a lot 523 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 1: of speed and just makes them look slow. It's just 524 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 1: absolutely amazing to me. I see you got Bear Bryant 525 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: a picture over your shoulder? Is that? Is that a 526 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 1: painting or a photo? It was a cover of Time magazine. 527 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,480 Speaker 1: It's been with me since nineteen eighty three and it's 528 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 1: always down that side. But one of my players fathers, 529 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 1: gave it to me in Temple University my first year 530 00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 1: and h it's always been with me. A he always 531 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 1: sits over my right shoulder. Did you ever meet coach? 532 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 1: I coached for him his last two years? I was 533 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 1: assistant at Alabama. Oh okay, so you take even great 534 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 1: greater pride in Alabama winning last night. Yeah. If I 535 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 1: have to root for another team, then Virginia Tech probably Alabama. 536 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 1: It's still Temple. If you were going to explain Bear 537 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 1: Bryant to somebody who had never seen him off your experience, 538 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 1: how would you explain Bear Bryant and football? Acummend the 539 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 1: best personal personnel manager I've ever seen, Because people don't 540 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: realize we played sixty six players in every game. He 541 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 1: substituted every player offense, defense, special team. You get your 542 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 1: tail fired if you sent a player across that sideline, 543 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 1: and I saw that almost happen. But just a master 544 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: of people, he could recognize a year or too high, 545 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 1: too low, and just one word from him. He'd loved 546 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 1: ripping my ass, and he'd loved picking up everybody else. 547 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 1: Talking to Bruce arians the Buccaneers defeated Washington on Saturday night. 548 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: They got the scenes coming up on Sunday night on Fox. 549 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 1: Let me go back to that game with Washington. How 550 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 1: much tape did you have on Taylor Heineken very very little, 551 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 1: very very little. You knew he was. He was an 552 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 1: athletic guy. Until you see those young guys like that 553 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 1: in the moment, you don't know if they have it 554 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 1: or not. That kid's got it. I mean, he was calm, 555 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 1: he was accurate. The obviously was very very slippery, and 556 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 1: so I would think he just made a name for himself, 557 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 1: that he'll be in the league for a while. But 558 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: do you go back to his old Dominion tape when 559 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: he was in college. No, we just looked at what 560 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 1: we had a little bit we had of the of 561 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 1: the NFL. And you said after the game that, and 562 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 1: I'm paraphrasing Washington's front didn't really make you nervous or 563 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 1: concern you at all. Is that an accurate quote? Yeah, 564 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 1: it's pretty accurate. I mean everybody had to have a 565 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 1: kind of have a storyline going into every game, and 566 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 1: when Chase said he wanted Tom, that became the storyline. 567 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 1: They're they're a heck of a young friend. Don't get 568 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 1: me wrong, But I knew our guys would take the 569 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 1: challenge and have been playing so well. I didn't think 570 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 1: it would be too big of a problem. What's been 571 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:11,600 Speaker 1: the biggest surprise about Tom Brady for you? I think 572 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 1: the way he handles younger players, he's another coach. I 573 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 1: mean he really is. I mean the athletics stuff is 574 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:22,239 Speaker 1: shocking for a guy forty three. But the way he 575 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 1: handles young guys and old guys. He's coaching non stop. 576 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 1: And I always pisses me up because I'll say something 577 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 1: to a player and now look at me he says that. 578 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 1: They go, okay, Tom, I'll do it. Who yells at 579 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 1: the younger players? More Tom or you? I think I 580 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 1: got him beat on that one, But a game day 581 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 1: might be him. Could you see him as a coach 582 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 1: when it's all said and done. No, I think he 583 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 1: is probably like Peyton. If they were, you wouldn't want 584 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,640 Speaker 1: to work for him because they're perfectionists and they wouldn't 585 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 1: accept anything but perfection, and every now and then you 586 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: got to give a little. It's interesting that you say 587 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,960 Speaker 1: that because I would talk to Tony DUNGEI about Peyton, say, 588 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: how would he be as an analyst? He said, well, 589 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 1: he would be great, but he would drive you crazy 590 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 1: because he would he would do so much research. He 591 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:16,720 Speaker 1: would he would drive your researchers crazy because of his preparation. 592 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 1: Is Brady and Peyton similar? Like then, very very similar. 593 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,479 Speaker 1: I should call Peyton the piranha, because if I had 594 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,200 Speaker 1: a twenty minute meeting, I'd have to have an hour 595 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 1: and a half worth of ship just to keep him 596 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 1: occupied and the poor other quarterbacks. I couldn't take notes 597 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 1: fast enough. But to him the exact same way. Their 598 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:39,200 Speaker 1: attention to detail is unbelievable. Because you go into these 599 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 1: meetings and you're the coach and you want to be 600 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 1: able to tell the player something. Peyton's telling you, probably 601 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 1: more than you're supposed to be telling him. It's like, 602 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 1: did you see this corner? Did you see this left corner? 603 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 1: I say, yeah, you'd mean twenty six? He said, yeah, 604 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 1: I watch his hips, watch his hips. I'm like, that's 605 00:33:53,320 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 1: good shit. H Does Brady make you laugh? Oh? All 606 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 1: the time? He's between here and Gronck. Now that's that's 607 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 1: that's it's hilarious sometimes, but on the field to the 608 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 1: most serious dudes I've ever coached. But Gronk, like, I 609 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:15,960 Speaker 1: never know if he's putting on a show as an 610 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,360 Speaker 1: act or he's really liked that coach. Oh, that's Gronk. 611 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,960 Speaker 1: That's just the way he walks on the field, and uh, 612 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 1: there's a swagger there, but it's a it's a lot 613 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:28,799 Speaker 1: of fun. That's a hot of fee and joys doing 614 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,799 Speaker 1: what he's doing, that's for sure. Can there be any 615 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,760 Speaker 1: surprises in this game? The third game with the Saints, 616 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:37,759 Speaker 1: so you know the personnel, everybody knows, everybody. Can there 617 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:41,839 Speaker 1: be Should there be surprises in this game? I don't 618 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 1: think so. I mean there'll be a truck player too. 619 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:45,919 Speaker 1: You know in New Orleans has got a great bag 620 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 1: of tricks and with Taysom Hill and everybody else, um, 621 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:54,040 Speaker 1: and they got great athletes. But Marshall Latimore knows, Michael 622 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,520 Speaker 1: Evans and on and on and on. You know, it's 623 00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 1: a turnover battles. But we've lost this game on turnout 624 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 1: verse and that's something we have to we have to address. 625 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 1: But if I said, you can take out Michael Thomas 626 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,960 Speaker 1: or you can take out Alvin Kamara, you get that option, 627 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,880 Speaker 1: who are you taking out of the game? Well, for us, 628 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:14,080 Speaker 1: it would probably be Michael Thomas. We've knock on wood, 629 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,920 Speaker 1: We've done a decent job of keeping Alvin under control. 630 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 1: Our run game defense has been outstanding, but Michael Thomas 631 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:24,600 Speaker 1: has heard us. Yeah, and him just coming back and uh, 632 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,600 Speaker 1: looking pretty good in this this last game, Kamara, I'm 633 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 1: never quite sure, like, um, is he a hybrid? Is 634 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,000 Speaker 1: he a true running back to you? Or who does 635 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 1: he remind you of? Oh? Ed you and James, I 636 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,279 Speaker 1: mean at Marshall Falk A little bit ed you and 637 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 1: James and Marshall Falk. I mean a guy with tremendous speed, 638 00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 1: great runner, especially outside his own runner, and then he's 639 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:51,399 Speaker 1: a wide receiver. He has so many ways he can 640 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:56,239 Speaker 1: beat you and no home field advantage. How much is 641 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,799 Speaker 1: that factor in? If it does at all, it's huge. 642 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 1: I'm glad there's gonna be three thousand because when we 643 00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,839 Speaker 1: were there for the opener, it was dead, I mean 644 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,279 Speaker 1: dead dead, and it's like it was an eerie At 645 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,920 Speaker 1: least we'll have some noise. Oh, so you want that ambiance? 646 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,719 Speaker 1: Oh I want to hear people booing or a chair 647 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,200 Speaker 1: and I want to hear all that. Yeah, I mean 648 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,680 Speaker 1: it adds to the game. I mean that that dead silence, 649 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:22,000 Speaker 1: are that that airplane noise. It's it's not been good 650 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,440 Speaker 1: when you can hear like the air conditioner buzzing or whatever. 651 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,600 Speaker 1: The lights are buzzing overhead, that does. That has to 652 00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:32,120 Speaker 1: be a surreal feeling. I mean, going to Monday night 653 00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,719 Speaker 1: football in New York and Thursday night in Chicago and 654 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:39,800 Speaker 1: not hearing a sound. It's just it's it's mind boggling 655 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:41,560 Speaker 1: to me. It's I've been in this game too long 656 00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:43,759 Speaker 1: and the crowd, the fans that they are the game. 657 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,200 Speaker 1: But do you have to be more quiet on the 658 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,360 Speaker 1: sidelines when you're yelling instructions or any there. Does Brady 659 00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 1: have to be quiet when he's in the huddle? Uh? Not, 660 00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,560 Speaker 1: not any more than normal. You know, defenses are getting 661 00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,799 Speaker 1: their signals, you're getting your your signals. But cutting out 662 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:04,400 Speaker 1: freeze is probably the hardest thing. Are you allowed to do? 663 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:09,200 Speaker 1: They give you leeway to curse them out, Yes and no. 664 00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:11,440 Speaker 1: I mean, if you're smart, you just turn your back. 665 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,040 Speaker 1: They may think you're yelling at somebody else when you're 666 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:21,719 Speaker 1: yelling at them, they can't flag you if you're well, 667 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,080 Speaker 1: you got your mask on too, so they I got 668 00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:28,640 Speaker 1: a mask in a shield, so I don't think it counts. Uh. Hey, 669 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,279 Speaker 1: it's great to talk to you again and have fun 670 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,319 Speaker 1: against New Orleans. Thanks for joining us.
