Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Final Hour on this Tuesday, Dan and Medane
Speaker 1: Stan Patrick's show Steelers over the Giants last night, twenty
Speaker 1: six sixteen. The health of Ben Roethlisberger and how healthy
Speaker 1: can he be? This team? That defense is going to
Speaker 1: take them a long way. Titans survived the Broncos sixteen
Speaker 1: fourteen night heat, Celtics Game one, tonight, Nuggets Clippers Game seven.
Speaker 1: Back to the Steelers with Roethlisberger. You know he had this.
Speaker 1: We weren't sure if he wanted to play any longer.
Speaker 1: I think the documentary that he has coming out, I
Speaker 1: think he partnered with the Mothership and it kind of
Speaker 1: details the offseason rehabbing, having the surgery, and deciding to
Speaker 1: come back. I think he had the blessing of his
Speaker 1: wife family to come back. And Ben last night looked okay.
Speaker 1: At three touchdown passes, he looked okay. If that's what
Speaker 1: you can get out of Ben Roethlisberger, I think Mike
Speaker 1: Tomlin would take that. And plus you have the Steelers defense.
Speaker 1: Juju Smith Schuster looked good too. James Connor got banged
Speaker 1: up a little bit there. Chase Claypool I think is legitimate.
Speaker 1: He's a big dude and came out of Notre Dame
Speaker 1: with a lot of hype, and you know, they might
Speaker 1: have found their next tighten. They just seemed to find
Speaker 1: tight end and wide receiver there and receivers there in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: Here's Ben Roethlisberger after last night's win. I probably just
Speaker 1: grabbed my knee because I was moving so fast, But no,
Speaker 1: I feel I feel great right now. Obviously, adrenaline is
Speaker 1: still probably pumping, and we won the game. I'm going
Speaker 1: to be sword tomorrow. There's no doubt. I've got some
Speaker 1: bumps and bruises, but in terms of elbow and everything else,
Speaker 1: I feel I feel really good right now. He tweaked
Speaker 1: his knee early in that game, that's what he was
Speaker 1: talking about. But good win for them. You know, it's
Speaker 1: one of those games that you look at and you go,
Speaker 1: of course, you're supposed to beat the Giants, but they
Speaker 1: are teams that don't win those types of games. And
Speaker 1: that's where you look at what happened with the Colts
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. You should have that game. You should be better,
Speaker 1: a lot better than the Jags. You got to win
Speaker 1: those games. Washington standing alone atop the NFC East, Jags
Speaker 1: tied for the lead in the AFC South, Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: tied for the league lead with touchdown passes, Clyde Edwards
Speaker 1: Hilaire leads the NFL, and rushing Are we surprised to
Speaker 1: any of those things? I would say the Jags tied
Speaker 1: for the lead in the ANFC South would be my
Speaker 1: first choice, followed by Washington standing alone atop the NFC East,
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, nothing surprises me when it comes to greatness,
Speaker 1: and Clyde Edwards Hilaire, by all accounts, was going to
Speaker 1: be the running back, the rookie to watch this year.
Speaker 1: And I don't think anybody should be surprised with what
Speaker 1: we saw in week one eight seven seven three d
Speaker 1: P Show email address DP at dan Patrick dot com,
Speaker 1: Twitter handle A DPS show pull question, McLevin, what do
Speaker 1: we have so far? Okay? Our one and two was
Speaker 1: if you were the Titans, would you release Stephen got
Speaker 1: Skotski Today sixty said no, Yeah, I'm gonna wait. He
Speaker 1: didn't look good. It was a little shaky last night,
Speaker 1: came through with the game winner. You obviously have a
Speaker 1: kicker who has a quite a resume, as Steve Levy
Speaker 1: said last night on the broadcast, a Hall of Famer
Speaker 1: in waiting. I think he's the Hall of very good,
Speaker 1: but he's not a Hall of Famer. Just In from
Speaker 1: Chris Mannox. The Toronto Raptors have signed Nick Nurse to
Speaker 1: a multi year contract extension. Per the team, we say
Speaker 1: good morning to our TV partner Peacock and also our
Speaker 1: great radio affiliates around the country, numbering three hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty two. Here is the aforementioned Stephen Gostkowski after the
Speaker 1: game winner last night. It's a very fickle position. It's
Speaker 1: definitely an opportunity I did deserve, but grateful that I
Speaker 1: got it for you know, the team and the guys
Speaker 1: that went out there busted there, but I mean I
Speaker 1: really put him in a tough spot, and you know,
Speaker 1: you don't always get that lucky to get a chance
Speaker 1: to redeem yourself. But you know, I'm just happy that
Speaker 1: the guys got to celebrate, and you know, I'm disappointing
Speaker 1: myself and embarrassed and frustrated, but at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, you know, we won and luckily guys are
Speaker 1: happy going home. Here's Mike Vrabel, the Titans head coach
Speaker 1: if he had any doubts on the game winning field goal,
Speaker 1: and they did obviously because they weren't using their timeouts,
Speaker 1: so they were banking on him. And you know, we
Speaker 1: all got to do our job. And again it's not
Speaker 1: on just one player. You know, we'll get this stuff fixed.
Speaker 1: We got a lot of faith in our players, excited
Speaker 1: to get out of here with a winning is a
Speaker 1: tough place to play. I also saw some numbers here
Speaker 1: on the Lions. Matt Patricia doesn't think it was his fault.
Speaker 1: The Lions blew another fourth quarter lead. Now he didn't
Speaker 1: drop the ball. DeAndre Swift did, but they were up
Speaker 1: ten points with four minutes to play, and he opted
Speaker 1: for a fifty five yard field goal and it banged
Speaker 1: off the goalposts. The Bears had excellent field position, they
Speaker 1: scored a touchdown. Now they're down three. Then there's the interception.
Speaker 1: I mean that interception was huge. That Matthew Stafford and
Speaker 1: why they were throwing the ball. Then, I have no idea.
Speaker 1: But Patricia was asked about blowing another fourth quarter lead
Speaker 1: and he said, look, I don't think so. I think
Speaker 1: I've got probably one of the biggest plays in the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter in the history of the NFL, where I
Speaker 1: think I did a pretty good job. So I don't
Speaker 1: think it's that. I think we all know what the
Speaker 1: individual games are. We got to do a better job.
Speaker 1: We got a team right now that's different than the
Speaker 1: previous two years. This team is different, they're different players,
Speaker 1: they have a different mindset. We have no excuses. Give
Speaker 1: the Bears credit. They did what they did, and they executed,
Speaker 1: and they scored and they won and we didn't. Now
Speaker 1: Matt Patricia's talking about Malcolm Butler's gain saving goal line
Speaker 1: interception for the Patriots when he was the defensive coordinator
Speaker 1: when they beat Seattle. That was five years ago. As
Speaker 1: the Lions head coach, he's won nine games out of
Speaker 1: thirty three and a tie. But if you start to
Speaker 1: look at some blown fourth quarter leads. Twenty nineteen, they
Speaker 1: blew an eighteen point lead to the Cardinals. That game
Speaker 1: ended in a tie. They would blow another six third
Speaker 1: quarter leads during the season. Twenty eighteen, they lost forty
Speaker 1: eight to seventeen to the Jets after returning an interception
Speaker 1: for a touchdown on the very first play. In all,
Speaker 1: the Lions have blown eleven fourth quarter leads since Matt
Speaker 1: Patricia became the head coach. That's one third of all
Speaker 1: of his games that he's coached. Here is Matt Patricia yesterday.
Speaker 1: Throughout really your tenure here, you've had fourth quarter leads
Speaker 1: and lost. Is there something in your coaching that maybe
Speaker 1: isn't happening enough in the fourth quarter for you to
Speaker 1: close out games? Yeah? I don't think so, Mike. I
Speaker 1: think I got probably one of the biggest plays in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter in the history of the NFL, where
Speaker 1: I think I did a pretty good job. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: was one play and it was absolutely a great play,
Speaker 1: one of the biggest plays in the history of the NFL. Yeah, Seaton. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that is a question though that perhaps, if reworded, it
Speaker 1: might not elicit such a defensive response. Coaches, there's something.
Speaker 1: Is there something in the way that you're coaching that's
Speaker 1: causing the team to blow all of these leads in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter? I think it's the word you. Is
Speaker 1: there something that you're doing specifically that's causing your team
Speaker 1: to lose all these games? Coach? But I think that's
Speaker 1: where I go. You know, speaking of Malcolm Butler, coach,
Speaker 1: could you tell me why he got benched in the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I'll hang up and listen. We're onto Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: We're not even playing that, but we're onto Cincinnati, all right,
Speaker 1: eight seven seven three d P Show email address DPA
Speaker 1: dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle at DPS show at
Speaker 1: dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle at DPS show Simmy love,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna stay with that pole question for the
Speaker 1: final hour of this award nominated program. I have another
Speaker 1: question for you, Okay, the Heat Celtics. If we put
Speaker 1: up that poll, who's gonna win that series? Which side wins?
Speaker 1: I saw it. I was surprised to see that, say,
Speaker 1: Celtics are one and a half point favorites the night. Okay,
Speaker 1: I think it's like a fifty fifty. I have no
Speaker 1: idea who people think is going to win this. Well,
Speaker 1: they might be enamored with the Heat and how the
Speaker 1: Heat polished off the Bucks and that they played great
Speaker 1: defense there against the Greek Freak. By the way, Milwaukee
Speaker 1: met with the Greek freak and they told him that
Speaker 1: they will spend around him, that they will go over
Speaker 1: the luxury tax threshold. I believe. I don't know who
Speaker 1: you're bringing in, but Milwaukee will offer the Greek freak
Speaker 1: a Supermax deal. That's where thirty five percent of the
Speaker 1: Buck's cap somewhere between two twenty and two hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty million dollars over five years. But after that, who
Speaker 1: are you going to bring in? And I think who
Speaker 1: wants to go in there and play for Milwaukee and
Speaker 1: who's going to be available to bring in. I love
Speaker 1: the idea of Chris Paul, and I think Chris Paul
Speaker 1: would have made a huge difference for that Milwaukee team
Speaker 1: this year. But it comes down to you got to
Speaker 1: look at what went wrong in the postseason because that's
Speaker 1: going to continue to happen unless the Greek Freak develops.
Speaker 1: I mean, he has to take some blame too. He's
Speaker 1: got to develop a go to move that in a
Speaker 1: half court set you can count on that, and he
Speaker 1: hasn't yet. And I don't want Eric Bledsoe in there.
Speaker 1: You know, it's a starter, But I do need somebody
Speaker 1: who's gotten some experience, who I can count on to
Speaker 1: be a leader, to be a you know, somebody who
Speaker 1: can guide us in the fourth quarter of a big game. Yeah. Point,
Speaker 1: I'll look at the NBA salary cap. Milwaukee Bucks were
Speaker 1: second in the league and spending this year one hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty five million dollars, second one to the Trailblazers.
Speaker 1: Next year they're at one hundred and thirty two. That
Speaker 1: puts him in the top five of stalary cap spending.
Speaker 1: Next year. Well, they're probably going to be tops when
Speaker 1: they have to pay the Greek freak. I'm guessing with
Speaker 1: a Supermax deal. Yeah. The Clippers one of three current
Speaker 1: NBA franchises who have never reached the conference finals. Those
Speaker 1: other two teams, the Hornets and the Pelicans, they began
Speaker 1: as expansion teams many many years after the Clippers were established,
Speaker 1: first in San Diego and then in Los Angeles. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm the clevin. My dad had a hot Jimmy Butler take.
Speaker 1: Oh this is you get to If you hear this take,
Speaker 1: you'll nowhere against the grain came from Okay, my dad says,
Speaker 1: who's a Sixers fan, said, Jimmy Butler's not that good.
Speaker 1: He's only great in the last six minutes of a game.
Speaker 1: Is that what you really want? That's the kind of
Speaker 1: guy I do want. Yeah, As I said my dad,
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, that's exactly what every team wants. Dominates
Speaker 1: the last six minutes of a game. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of guys who are really good for the first forty
Speaker 1: two minutes of a game. I want to know who's
Speaker 1: great at the end of a game. Sixers have plenty
Speaker 1: of forty two lays. Your dad doesn't like those pesky
Speaker 1: clutch players, doesn't. Well, all of Phillies mad that Jimmy
Speaker 1: Butler escaped. Is he? It feels like that's why people
Speaker 1: are picking the Heat because Jimmy Butler is a veteran
Speaker 1: and well, I think more people would probably pick Boston
Speaker 1: because we're aware of Boston and we saw that nucleus
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago when Kyrie got hurt and
Speaker 1: they were surprising everybody going to the Eastern Conference finals.
Speaker 1: But you have Tatum, and you have Brown Smart, you
Speaker 1: got Brad Stevens, so I think they're more known. You
Speaker 1: have to watch a Miami Heat game and you go, oh,
Speaker 1: that's right. Eric Spoilster is still their coach. Who's playing
Speaker 1: with Jimmy Butler? Bam Autobio? Where did he go to? Oh, Kentucky,
Speaker 1: that's right. Goren Dragis is still in the NBA. Who
Speaker 1: is Robinson Duncan or Duncan Robinson Tyler Hero Yeah. So
Speaker 1: if you watch them play, they really play well together,
Speaker 1: and that's that's a lot of fun to watch them play.
Speaker 1: It's good basketball, and Spoilster is a Hall of Fame coach,
Speaker 1: Yes Club. But then Jimmy Butler has a way of
Speaker 1: sucking up all the energy and attention media wise. I
Speaker 1: don't know what it is like in a good way,
Speaker 1: Like I feel like we don't know those guys because
Speaker 1: we know Jimmy Butler. Well, I think when they lose,
Speaker 1: it falls on Jimmy Butler, like he kind of soaks
Speaker 1: that up. You know that it's all it's on Jimmy Butler.
Speaker 1: Because are you going to blame Gore and Dragics if
Speaker 1: they don't advance or bam out of bio. You're not,
Speaker 1: You'll blame Jimmy Butler. Uh, let me see get a
Speaker 1: couple of phone calls in here, Kyle and Tampa, Hi,
Speaker 1: Kyle any By talking about play by play teams. I
Speaker 1: think they all did a great job this past weekend
Speaker 1: of letting everybody know that they just appreciated the fact
Speaker 1: that they could call a football game. And I think
Speaker 1: we kind of all shared in that sentiment. But two
Speaker 1: part question for you. First, part a network call that said,
Speaker 1: dan we need a para dan As to fill in
Speaker 1: for play by play? Who would you pick in? Why?
Speaker 1: Second part of the question, what is a dream played
Speaker 1: by play duo that either it hasn't happened yet or
Speaker 1: never happened at all? Mine? For example, can you imagine
Speaker 1: the enthusiasm of the Doc Emerd and Tony Romo? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that would be interesting to have Doc Emeric call an
Speaker 1: NFL game. I don't know how Romo would do in hockey.
Speaker 1: If if somebody needed a play by play an analyst,
Speaker 1: well mclovin would be the analyst, but like a Dennis
Speaker 1: Miller Tony Kornheizer type analyst, because if you ask me
Speaker 1: the three technique or the five technique or the seventh No, no,
Speaker 1: we won't get into details there. Yeah, I mean you
Speaker 1: can fake it too. Yeah, those guys go like Herbie
Speaker 1: was saying some things last night, for example, that I
Speaker 1: was actually thinking about that because Herbs she's never done
Speaker 1: in an NFL game, and he sounded like he had
Speaker 1: known that game forever. But I think you know when
Speaker 1: you say, hey, what are the keys to the game,
Speaker 1: and then you'll come up with like three or four
Speaker 1: keys to the game. Oh, you gotta get a pass.
Speaker 1: You have to establish a pass rush. Yeah. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: you gotta play with uh you know, let's see anticipation
Speaker 1: and you gotta you gotta be prepared and at the edge.
Speaker 1: Mentioned the secondary at some point. Dah, this game is
Speaker 1: can be one of the trenches. One er off in
Speaker 1: the trench, of course, you know that. Yeah, to have
Speaker 1: Ultimately it's gonna come down to the quarterback play. Yeah, mclub.
Speaker 1: What have you done football? I know you've done basketball
Speaker 1: play by play. Have you ever done an analysts? No? No,
Speaker 1: well I'm not qualified to be an analyst. Uh, Todd,
Speaker 1: I couldn't have if if if we needed to fill
Speaker 1: time during a rain delay, kind of lightning storm or something. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I can't have you in the booth like a
Speaker 1: third minute. No little little comments. You can't have a
Speaker 1: little comment. You're not capable and you never really make
Speaker 1: a true prediction or a decision. I do kind of
Speaker 1: hang on the fence there you do. Yeah, you're you're
Speaker 1: on the fence. Yeah, yeah, I don't know, like Todd,
Speaker 1: that couldn't think of anyone who's better at short fifthy
Speaker 1: comments like that that sent you at all. I make passive, aggressive,
Speaker 1: little lex sarcastic little remarks and on the side, yeah
Speaker 1: you wouldn't you wouldn't do well. Paulie could do play
Speaker 1: by play? Yeah, well, I mean out of the group,
Speaker 1: out of this group. Yeah, I'll take Yeah, I'll take it.
Speaker 1: I think you're you're you're able to fake it. I
Speaker 1: think you could fake being a play by play guy
Speaker 1: better than the other guys, said McLevin could. Probably you
Speaker 1: could pull off against the grain being an analyst. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean just throwing a couple of those you know
Speaker 1: phrases that we have no idea what it is, and
Speaker 1: then you sound like you're part of the fraternity. Yeah. See,
Speaker 1: I'm at best down on the sideline. If not, I'm
Speaker 1: out in the parking lot, maybe for the local news.
Speaker 1: I'm not even part of us, like the main sports
Speaker 1: organization and Todd. I don't know if I have a
Speaker 1: place for you. Nothing. No, I don't think so. I
Speaker 1: don't think so because I have to have brevity and
Speaker 1: I just don't think that I can throw down to
Speaker 1: you like ticket sales or no, n no, nothing, No,
Speaker 1: we're talking about the broadcast like I can't go and
Speaker 1: let's go down to Todd Fritz on the field, Todd,
Speaker 1: and then you're gonna go on and on and on
Speaker 1: to the parts four players. He's in the locker room
Speaker 1: to check exacle and I was in the locker room
Speaker 1: and then I saw what they had, and then I
Speaker 1: couldn't believe that they had orange gatorade. They didn't have
Speaker 1: the yellow gator and I don't you know, I love
Speaker 1: orange Gatorade. It would be very problematically, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: just saying, yeah this point, but I'd be totally snarky
Speaker 1: during play by play second two for the Giant sequon
Speaker 1: Barkley about to get swallow up by the entire defense.
Speaker 1: It would just be snarky. Yeah, But you can't be
Speaker 1: an analyst though. That's the thing. I would not be
Speaker 1: able to hold my down. That's because you can't over
Speaker 1: analyze when you have an analyst like mclovan waiting. Ron
Speaker 1: Rivera is going to join us and we'll talk about
Speaker 1: the Washington football team's opening win, plus what happened at

Speaker 1: against the Philadelphia Eagles. Didn't look good in the first half,
Speaker 1: it came back scored twenty seven unanswered points, beating the
Speaker 1: Eagles twenty seven seven. There head coach Ron Rivera kind
Speaker 1: enough to join us. Coach, How does it feel to
Speaker 1: be in first place? It feels good, it doesn't and
Speaker 1: you know, it's been a long offseason, it really has.
Speaker 1: But I was just real happy for our players. You know,
Speaker 1: they were very resilient, did the things that they needed
Speaker 1: to do and took air of business. So it's exciting.
Speaker 1: It is. How's your health? How you feeling? I feel good?
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's middle trying just trying to kind
Speaker 1: of get in the swing of things, get to feel
Speaker 1: for it, understand what's happening. You know, what's happening with me,
Speaker 1: what's happening with my health, what's happening with my body.
Speaker 1: But you know, I'm very fortunate. I got a great
Speaker 1: team of doctors and specialists and I got a good prognosis.
Speaker 1: So again it's a matter of taking care of business. Now. Now,
Speaker 1: when you got an IVY at halftime, is that planned? Yes?
Speaker 1: It was planned. It was It was more about hydration,
Speaker 1: making sure that I was going to be okay in
Speaker 1: terms of my energy level and all that. You know,
Speaker 1: it was a warm day and talking with our team
Speaker 1: doctor and our head trainer. You know, we had mapped
Speaker 1: it out. You know, as soon as we were coming in,
Speaker 1: I was going straight into the training room and I
Speaker 1: was going to take care of my business and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, let it go from there. Now you're it's
Speaker 1: sell cancer. Well what it is. It's it's a it's
Speaker 1: a squat, squamous form of cancer that's gotten into one
Speaker 1: of my limp noodes. And it's not limphomah. Some people
Speaker 1: have misreported it, but it's a it's a form of
Speaker 1: cancer that got into a limpnode. It's a very treatable,
Speaker 1: very curable type cancer. So I'm very fortunate we caught
Speaker 1: it early. And what happened in a halftime You're getting
Speaker 1: an IV and then all of a sudden you have
Speaker 1: to overhear a voice that's standing out among all of
Speaker 1: the voices there in the locker room. What was going on, Well,
Speaker 1: you know what happened with I was going in. I
Speaker 1: talked to Malcolm Black and my director of player development.
Speaker 1: I said, hey, we got to make sure we have
Speaker 1: somebody step up to the mic, you know, and and
Speaker 1: give the half halftime speecies. I don't think I'll be
Speaker 1: done in time, so I go in. I'm getting the
Speaker 1: IV and all of a sudden, you know, I hear
Speaker 1: that the two minute warning, and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: I hear this high pitched voice, you know, at the
Speaker 1: top of his lung, screaming at everybody, come bringing it up,
Speaker 1: bring it up, bring it in tight, you know, hey,
Speaker 1: and they start talking about what happened last year. Last year,
Speaker 1: the you know, the Washington team had the lead and
Speaker 1: gave it up and lost. Well, that's pretty much what
Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins did, was he talked about what happened last
Speaker 1: year and said, hey, why why can't it happen for
Speaker 1: us this year? And and it was it was a
Speaker 1: very good speech from what I fot him right to hear.
Speaker 1: I didn't hear it all. I hear bits and pieces,
Speaker 1: but from what I was told, the guys went out
Speaker 1: and obviously, based on the way they played, he had
Speaker 1: accord with them. What have you seen that's different about
Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins this year as opposed to last year? You know,
Speaker 1: first of all, his detail in his work, you know,
Speaker 1: getting an opportunity to watch some of the practice take
Speaker 1: from last year and watching some of the games that
Speaker 1: he played. Um, you know, and then the conversations he
Speaker 1: and I had in January where I basically challenged him
Speaker 1: about you know, developing and changing and learning how to
Speaker 1: do things the right way. He took it to heart.
Speaker 1: You know. He had a really good offseason, all the
Speaker 1: way through all the Zoom meetings that we had, the
Speaker 1: way he kind of led his teammates through some of
Speaker 1: their own personal workouts that they had together as groups, um,
Speaker 1: to the way he handled himself during training camp. It's
Speaker 1: been tremendous, it really has. You've seen a transformation from
Speaker 1: the young man that was trying to learn how to
Speaker 1: focus and learn how to do it the right way.
Speaker 1: What do you think of your defense? I like the beginning,
Speaker 1: I really do you know? Um? I told I basically
Speaker 1: told the team, you know, um halfway through the through
Speaker 1: the the second quarters. I'm not sure who showed up
Speaker 1: in the first quarter wearing burgundy guys, but guys that
Speaker 1: are playing right now, those are the guys in life,
Speaker 1: and they got the message. It was. It was the
Speaker 1: of a hell of a deal that, you know, the
Speaker 1: way they just really kind of put it together, you know,
Speaker 1: because we don't have anything to gage it on. Dan,
Speaker 1: you know, we had no preseason games. You know, we
Speaker 1: did most of our hurt hitting. It was early because
Speaker 1: of the way practices were set up, and then from
Speaker 1: that point it's really about you know, installations and learning.
Speaker 1: So we didn't know what we had and I thought
Speaker 1: we played tentatively. I mean, if you look at what
Speaker 1: happened on special teams, you know we didn't play well early.
Speaker 1: We missed a kick, defense, we gave up, we gave
Speaker 1: up seventy points quickly. Defense offensively, we won a couple
Speaker 1: of three and ounce right away, so we really didn't
Speaker 1: put it together. All of a sudden, we get a
Speaker 1: takeaway Fabid Moreau intercepts the ball. We're going down to
Speaker 1: score a touchdown. We pinned them inside you know, inside
Speaker 1: the ten a couple of times, and then we were
Speaker 1: off to the racist. So it was almost like all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the realization that, man, you know what,
Speaker 1: we have a chance. We can be pretty good. You
Speaker 1: got Arizona coming up in Kyler Murray, have you looked
Speaker 1: at the game film from their game against the Niners, Yes,
Speaker 1: I did. I mean he's a dynamic young man. We
Speaker 1: played him last year, you know his I think it
Speaker 1: was our I think it was our third game of
Speaker 1: the year last year in Carolina, I had an opportunity
Speaker 1: to watch him. We won, but you could see what
Speaker 1: the young man means to their offense, you know, and
Speaker 1: then you throw a hop on top of it, you know,
Speaker 1: and and and now he has he has not you know,
Speaker 1: now he has another weapon. I mean, they're very well
Speaker 1: rounded offense. Um, good offensive line, stout, good running backs.
Speaker 1: I love their backs, you know, I like Drake a
Speaker 1: lot um And then you look at their defense and
Speaker 1: and you think that they've done a good job putting
Speaker 1: a team together down in Arizona. Did you catch any
Speaker 1: of Cam Newton's silence? Yes, I did. Think he's you
Speaker 1: know what, He's only going to get better, it really is.
Speaker 1: You know. Again, he hadn't played a lot of football
Speaker 1: the last two years, um, you know, and I followed him,
Speaker 1: you know, during the offseason just to see where he was,
Speaker 1: keep tabs on him just in case something happened here.
Speaker 1: But he ended up in a good place and and
Speaker 1: really just kind of watching him and watched the way
Speaker 1: he played. He was having fun and and and that's
Speaker 1: probably the biggest thing that he probably hadn't had in
Speaker 1: the last two years. Because of the injuries, because he
Speaker 1: hadn't had any fun. So, you know, I'll tell you
Speaker 1: what he's I just think he's gonna get better and
Speaker 1: better and stronger and stronger. What'd you think of the
Speaker 1: yellow outfit that a ward of the game. Did you
Speaker 1: see that? Do you have a favorite Cam outfit? You know,
Speaker 1: anyone that he wears a hat? I think the one
Speaker 1: where he dressed up like Hugh Hefner with the with
Speaker 1: the robe um that one time. I thought that was
Speaker 1: one of my favorites. But you know, I texted Derek
Speaker 1: Anderson before the game and I said, Hey, do you
Speaker 1: know what your guy's wearing? And he texted me back
Speaker 1: he said no, I'm gonna have to get a picture.
Speaker 1: And then when he finally saw the picture, he said
Speaker 1: it to me and oh, I just we started chuckling.
Speaker 1: But he wore the scarf that one time. Yes, whatever
Speaker 1: that was. I don't like, did you ever say did
Speaker 1: you ever say anything to him like Cam? You know,
Speaker 1: maybe maybe not after this came. You know what happened
Speaker 1: was in twenty thirteen when we started rolling, I had
Speaker 1: this little model about guys. Hey man, you know, hey,
Speaker 1: make sure you do things the right way. Okay, you
Speaker 1: live your life by these sets of rules, do it,
Speaker 1: but keep your personality. So he took it to the extreme.
Speaker 1: He kept his personality. And so every time I would
Speaker 1: say something he's a coach, he told me to be myself,
Speaker 1: keep my personality because that's one thing Cam will do
Speaker 1: is he'll use your words against you know. I loved it.
Speaker 1: Did Belichick reach out to you to ask you about
Speaker 1: Cam before you signed him? Um? No? You know, um,
Speaker 1: coach and I you know we have a great relationship.
Speaker 1: We talk every now and then. But no, he didn't. Um.
Speaker 1: But again, I that's one of the places when people
Speaker 1: ask me where do I think he'd end up? I said,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up in New
Speaker 1: England because of the way coach, And he said it
Speaker 1: the other day. You find out what your guy does
Speaker 1: best and you do it. And that's what he did
Speaker 1: with Tom Brady for all those years, and that's what
Speaker 1: he's gonna do with Cam. I mean, he's gonna do
Speaker 1: the things that Cam does best. What's your T shirt signify? Oh?
Speaker 1: This is uh this is my hometown area Monterey, California.
Speaker 1: And that's the that's the logo for for the monitory
Speaker 1: Penisa Country Club. Did you do you played pebble? Obviously? Yes,
Speaker 1: I grew up there and I've had a couple of chances. Yes.
Speaker 1: Are you any good? Um? I'm good enough to get beat.
Speaker 1: I get beat by my wife. She's she's my wife's
Speaker 1: a five handicap okay, so she didn't give me strokes.
Speaker 1: Do your players have any idea the kind of player
Speaker 1: you were? Do they? Does anybody bring up old footage
Speaker 1: or pictures? A few of them do, especially Thomas Davis.
Speaker 1: He never lets me forget it. You know, he knew
Speaker 1: I was kind of the dirty work guy. You know.
Speaker 1: I wasn't spectacular. I wasn't one of those you know,
Speaker 1: great players. I was just that guy that I played
Speaker 1: my new my role. I did my role. I played
Speaker 1: it to the best of my ability. I think that's that.
Speaker 1: And Thomas lets me know that all the time. All
Speaker 1: you need to do is bring out that Super Bowl
Speaker 1: ring from eighty five too, like that. I believe me.
Speaker 1: I haven't done it yet. I'm want to do it.
Speaker 1: Um but um but but yeah, you're right, that's I
Speaker 1: mean that that carries a lot of weight. It really does,
Speaker 1: especially with the players and and that's one of the
Speaker 1: things that you know, we're trying to get across to
Speaker 1: these guys that We've got a lot of people that
Speaker 1: have been there. They know what it takes. So you
Speaker 1: got to trust us. And did you keep anything from
Speaker 1: that Super Bowl? H from super Bowl twenty Yeah with
Speaker 1: the Bears? Oh yeah, absolutely mean I got I got picked.
Speaker 1: You know what I found. You know, when you pack
Speaker 1: up and you move and you know you have it somewhere.
Speaker 1: I found Buddy Ryan's game notes for us for Super
Speaker 1: Bowl twenty UM and I and the game plan. So
Speaker 1: I have all that. Stephanie put in a nice little
Speaker 1: file and we sealed it up and put it away.
Speaker 1: I mean I went back and looked at that, and
Speaker 1: there's some really cool stuff that Coach Ryan had on that.
Speaker 1: I mean, it was That's that that was an amazing
Speaker 1: to find. It really wasn't It was cool to see again,
Speaker 1: but you had both the defensive coordinator and the head
Speaker 1: coach got carried off the field like yes, like it
Speaker 1: was it really split like that that the defense was
Speaker 1: with Buddy and the everybody else was with Didka. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what Buddy had this way of of of
Speaker 1: of of really painting us against the world. He really did.
Speaker 1: And and that was the thing that that's why the
Speaker 1: guys love Buddy on defensive side so much, because you know,
Speaker 1: we were his guys. And this is something I believe
Speaker 1: that Buddy had learned from when he was in Korea,
Speaker 1: when he was when he was a sergeant, you know,
Speaker 1: and he told me a couple of stories about, you know,
Speaker 1: having to leave me in and I mean some of
Speaker 1: the things that Buddy and I had a chefs talked
Speaker 1: about was really cool. And just to know who he
Speaker 1: was that that it was about making sure that we
Speaker 1: us as a group, as a defensive unit, were tight.
Speaker 1: That's what he did. I mean, he really knew how
Speaker 1: how to how to make a group of guys come together,
Speaker 1: and we really did. And believe me, a lot of
Speaker 1: the things that I do today who I am as
Speaker 1: a coach to coach ticket, but I also owe to
Speaker 1: Buddy Ryan great stuff. It's great to talk to you,
Speaker 1: and congrats on the win, and good luck trying to
Speaker 1: corral Kyler Murray. That'll keep you up at night there, coach, Yes,
Speaker 1: it does. It does. In fact, you know, the defense
Speaker 1: is still meet right now. And I was actually talking
Speaker 1: to a few of those guys earlier about a couple ideas.
Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens. And he's a heck of
Speaker 1: a football player though, and we got our work cut
Speaker 1: out for us. Thank you, coach. Great to talk to you.
Speaker 1: Thank you, sir. That's Ron River, Washington football team head coach.
Speaker 1: I like the unis, I like the helmets. I like
Speaker 1: the numbers on the side there. And Daniel Snyder talked
Speaker 1: about maybe they just keep that as the nickname. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure, but they got Arizona in Arizona coming up
Speaker 1: next weekend. It always helps when you win. Your uniforms
Speaker 1: look a whole lot better when you win. I remember
Speaker 1: the old Padre uniforms in the seventies and they weren't
Speaker 1: good looking at all. But then the Padres weren't very
Speaker 1: good when the Astros had that rainbow whatever it was,
Speaker 1: they looked a whole lot better when they started winning.
Speaker 1: Nolan and help that as well. But I think we've
Speaker 1: talked about this before. A team that wins who has
Speaker 1: bad uniforms, or a team that doesn't win that has
Speaker 1: good uniforms, because people would say when the Bengals were winning,
Speaker 1: then they liked the tiger stripes, but when they weren't winning,
Speaker 1: then they didn't like them. I don't know if there's
Speaker 1: another team that you think of that they didn't win.
Speaker 1: But we like their uniforms because usually they go hand
Speaker 1: in hand or you give the team the benefit of
Speaker 1: the doubt. Where you go, you know, those uniforms look okay. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And if you go back when the Chargers kind of
Speaker 1: blew up again in the early eighties, they had Dan
Speaker 1: Fouts and Joiner and those guys, and those uniforms came
Speaker 1: back in vogue. They always kept the lightning bolt, which
Speaker 1: was kind of their calling card. That's still it's a
Speaker 1: wonderful looking uniform. That's just something about it. Whenever you
Speaker 1: saw and that's it might have been. The first football
Speaker 1: game I saw in person was the Chargers against the
Speaker 1: Bengal in Cincinnati, and that's when John Haydel was the
Speaker 1: quarterback at lance all Worth, Gary Garrison, Dickie Post and
Speaker 1: I just remember when they came out on the field
Speaker 1: and the Bengals uniforms back then were so bland, so bland,
Speaker 1: and watching those Chargers they came out on the field
Speaker 1: and I loved AFL football because they threw it wide open,
Speaker 1: had fun, and the Chargers came out and that image
Speaker 1: never left me. Of boy, that is a gorgeous looking uniform. Yeah, Poe.
Speaker 1: The other day I sit in my daughter Molly, she's nine,
Speaker 1: and I asked her, just from looks, which is your
Speaker 1: favorite uniform? I went through all the teams we had pictures.
Speaker 1: Guess which team she picked? A nine year old favorite uniforms.
Speaker 1: She did like the Chargers a lot, but that was
Speaker 1: not her overall favorite. The Cleveland Browns, the Detroit Lions.
Speaker 1: She loved the blue. She thought it was fun and loud,
Speaker 1: and she loved Detroit Lions. Well, that's maybe their target audience.
Speaker 1: They're looking for nine year olds that will have no
Speaker 1: idea what the Lions have done the previous, you know,
Speaker 1: six decades. She thinks they're pretty good free quarters. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're not good in the fourth quarter holding leads. Derek
Speaker 1: and North Carolina. Hi, Derek, what do you have for
Speaker 1: me today? I think you're taking my call? Sure? First time,
Speaker 1: long time six four take the team. You're sounding pretty
Speaker 1: serious here, Derek. Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm just you know,
Speaker 1: I just got off meeting a meeting. Phone call just
Speaker 1: wanted to see what you thought. Why you had all
Speaker 1: the Week one games. What's your favorite overreaction so far? Mom,
Speaker 1: My favorite overreaction probably the sky is falling in Tampa,
Speaker 1: followed by the sky is falling in Dallas. Those would
Speaker 1: be my two overreactions. I mean, Brady lost to the Saints.
Speaker 1: He didn't look good. He threw the two picks. I
Speaker 1: think one of those picks is mon Mike Evans, not
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. I know Bruce arians said basically it was
Speaker 1: Tom's fault. The pick six, that's Brady's fault. But I
Speaker 1: still think they have a good defense. It's going to
Speaker 1: take a little while, and you're facing the Saints in
Speaker 1: New Orleans, a team that is ready made. They didn't
Speaker 1: have big offseason acquisitions, and I think you got to
Speaker 1: be fair to Brady and let's let's regroup in a
Speaker 1: month and then you're gonna probably have your opinion on
Speaker 1: Brady that will last the rest of the season. But
Speaker 1: this almost feels like preseason. The Patriots used to do.
Speaker 1: This first month of the regular season was a preseason
Speaker 1: for Bill Belichick, and then after that you saw what
Speaker 1: the Patriots were going to be. I think that'll be
Speaker 1: the case with Brady and the Buccaneers. As far as Dallas, Okay,
Speaker 1: you lost to a team that played great defense in
Speaker 1: the Rams and they ran the ball and you had
Speaker 1: a chance to win it. Controversial call there. You had
Speaker 1: a chance to win that game on the road. You're
Speaker 1: playing in a division that probably is not going to
Speaker 1: be that competitive, and I expect Dallas to win against
Speaker 1: Atlanta and then probably return to normal here. Yeah, Paul,
Speaker 1: But Dan, Week two overaction is when it heats up
Speaker 1: because they everyone drops the O and two teams to
Speaker 1: make the playoffs chat and everyone goes freaking berserk. Casey
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, Hey, Case, what do you have for
Speaker 1: me today? Yo? Dan? Taking that game that you went to.
Speaker 1: Who was the quarterback for the Bengals, You remember the
Speaker 1: Virgil Carter? Virgil Carter. Virgil Carter was the quarterback, and
Speaker 1: I think Um Greg Cook was not there. He was
Speaker 1: the former Rookie of the Year and Virgil Carter and uh,
Speaker 1: who's the former coach, Um Sam Weish? So Sam Weish
Speaker 1: was the in uniform. Bruce Coslet was the tight end.
Speaker 1: I think with Bob Trumpy and Paul Robinson. The cactus
Speaker 1: comment was the running back for the Bengals. Yeah, number eighteen. Yeah, yep, yep, yep.
Speaker 1: Remember that stuff. So Dan, when I called in and
Speaker 1: said I thought Cam Newton and the Patriot would have
Speaker 1: a better season than Tom Brady and the Bucks, there's
Speaker 1: a couple of reasons why I've said that. Now, there's
Speaker 1: no panic here. But I've been watching Tom Brady for
Speaker 1: three years and he's been in the current. He got
Speaker 1: outplayed by Nick Foles in the Super Bowl two years ago,
Speaker 1: they beat the Rams in that shootout thirteen to three,
Speaker 1: when he looks very pedestrian, and last year they get
Speaker 1: beat in the playoffs. His release is slower, he has
Speaker 1: less velocity on his football. Oh and by the way,
Speaker 1: he's forty three years old. I don't care if he's
Speaker 1: eating avocado ice cream or cry o chambers or what
Speaker 1: else he's doing. He's forty three. Most quarterbacks older quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: when they fall off the cliff, they fall off the cliff.
Speaker 1: I know. But in k case, thanks for the phone call.
Speaker 1: You know, we've been saying this for five years. Remember
Speaker 1: Trent Dilfer said that he you know, he's falling off
Speaker 1: a cliff. Max Kellerman said he's fallen off a Cliff
Speaker 1: and then he goes to the Super Bowl. Nick Foles
Speaker 1: didn't exactly outplay him. Tom threw for five hundred yards.
Speaker 1: They didn't punt that game, and if Brady doesn't get
Speaker 1: sacked there at the very end, maybe they win that game.
Speaker 1: But look, am I concerned about how he ended last
Speaker 1: season second half of the season. Yes, but let me
Speaker 1: see what he does with weapons. We keep saying that, Hey,
Speaker 1: let's see what he does with weapons here. Check back
Speaker 1: in in three more weeks, and then I think we'll
Speaker 1: have a better idea of who he's going to be
Speaker 1: and who they're going to be this year. Yeah, Falls
Speaker 1: is a way better receiver in the Super Bowl. To
Speaker 1: give him he is, he is a better When the
Speaker 1: history of the NFL has written when they say who's
Speaker 1: a better wide receiver Brady or Falls, you can honestly
Speaker 1: say Nick Foles. Brady could have made more of an
Speaker 1: effort on that play that that wild Card play. I
Speaker 1: don't know, definitely, No, I don't know. He took every
Speaker 1: white guy's hopes with him on that pass route, like
Speaker 1: every one of us was going to get it, catch it.
Speaker 1: I didn't want him to dive, but I thought, come on,
Speaker 1: like he just put his hand up like he was,
Speaker 1: you know, going to answer a question in class, you
Speaker 1: know the club. Was he looking a little modelly for
Speaker 1: you guys on Sunday? He was like, I'm like modelling,
Speaker 1: Like he just looked too good looking. You know. I
Speaker 1: feel like he's he's got to tone that down a line.
Speaker 1: I think Garoppolo's got to tone it down. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think he's got to tone it down. What does
Speaker 1: that mean, I go get a bad haircut something something,
Speaker 1: because I don't know it's it's I don't think he
Speaker 1: deserves to look that good with the way he plays sometimes.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll take a break. We'll come back and
Speaker 1: last call for phone calls right after this. Thanks for
Speaker 1: listening to The Dan Patrick Show podcast. Be sure to
Speaker 1: catch us live every weekday morning nine until noon eastern
Speaker 1: six to nine Pacific on Fox Sports Radio, and you
Speaker 1: can find us on the iHeartRadio app at FSR or
Speaker 1: stream us live on the Peacock app. Paully just introduced
Speaker 1: us to a do Guerrita Mountain Dew margarita only at
Speaker 1: Red Lobster. Todd, would you be willing to have a
Speaker 1: do Guarrita since you love mountain dew. I would probably
Speaker 1: try that. I'm not big with the alcoholic beverages, but
Speaker 1: anything that's got any type of mountain doing it, or
Speaker 1: I'm gonna kind of bright green colored beverage, I would
Speaker 1: check it out. The only time you would ever have
Speaker 1: alcohol is when there was a pretty woman who was
Speaker 1: with us at dinner. Very true, right. I sipped a
Speaker 1: beer once at a color out of Rockies game, and
Speaker 1: I just didn't didn't do anything to me. But if
Speaker 1: there was a pretty woman who was sitting with us
Speaker 1: at dinner and she was having wine, then Todd would
Speaker 1: have wine. You could probably get me to snort coke.
Speaker 1: If we're gonna put our cards on the table, she's
Speaker 1: like not attractive, you know, you can just try it.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna let get hooked on it. Anything I
Speaker 1: didn't do it inhale or whatever, I would just would
Speaker 1: deny it. I might do a couple of lots. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, okay, okay, not my style, that's not my thing.
Speaker 1: I don't do the such thing. But dost Jewish play
Speaker 1: for Brooklyn dou Garrito? And then you told me that
Speaker 1: Doritos makes a mountain dew. I think one of the
Speaker 1: guys said it to me because they know how much
Speaker 1: I love Mount Polly maybe even said it's like nacho
Speaker 1: cheese dorito mountain dew flavor. I haven't seen it in
Speaker 1: the stores, and believe they looked. It's out there somewhere.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's in the middle of Iowas some wherever it is,
Speaker 1: they got mountain dew doritos somewhere, all right. The fun
Speaker 1: of results of the poll question mclovin, who's gonna win
Speaker 1: the Celtics heat? I put up for hour three sixty
Speaker 1: one percent Celtics. Yeah, I'm taking the heat. I'm riding
Speaker 1: them all the way to the finals. And Clipper. Does
Speaker 1: anybody have the Nuggets tonight against the Clippers? Now only
Speaker 1: if they go down nineteen again and then they'll have
Speaker 1: the Clippers right where they want them. But I'm guessing
Speaker 1: somebody might guard the Joker tonight. Maybe that would be
Speaker 1: I would I would probably advise that. But Kawhi Leonard,
Speaker 1: let's go see drag him into the Western Conference finals. Here?
Speaker 1: Uh this stage sports history, Pauling, what do you have?
Speaker 1: I got a bunch. This starts with nineteen forty six
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Dodgers Chicago Cubs game was called when players, umpires,
Speaker 1: and fans were attacked by bees gnats, bees Gnats seas Nats.
Speaker 1: It happened years later with the Yankees, with the Midges.
Speaker 1: That part of the Nat family was that in Cleveland
Speaker 1: when the Gnats went after job at Chamberlain. Yeah, they're
Speaker 1: all stuck in his eyes, his mouth and stuff at all.
Speaker 1: It's so gross, But they pulled job after the fourth inning,
Speaker 1: So be out there. Two nineteen seventy eight, Muhammad Ali
Speaker 1: depeated Leon Spinks to win his third heavyweight boxing title,
Speaker 1: and uh nineteen fifty three, the National Boxing Associates adopted
Speaker 1: the ten point scoring system for all of its matches,
Speaker 1: which is still in play today. That was okay. Reggie
Speaker 1: Miller will join us on the program tomorrow as we
Speaker 1: recap how the Clippers fared against the Nuggets. And I
Speaker 1: guess if you ask Lebron privately, who do you want
Speaker 1: to face? Does he want to face Kauai and the
Speaker 1: Clippers just because it's Kawai and you want to knock
Speaker 1: them off, or would you rather maybe take the path
Speaker 1: of least resistance and go against the Nuggets there. I'm
Speaker 1: curious what he would say, probably privately say, well, I'd
Speaker 1: rather face the Nuggets, but you know, you want to
Speaker 1: go against the best player or the guy that you
Speaker 1: know people are saying has kind of been the air
Speaker 1: apparent here or taken over the throne, is the best
Speaker 1: basketball player. But Clippers Nuggets coming up tonight, and then
Speaker 1: Heat and the Celtics. Let's go around the room. What
Speaker 1: we learned on the program. I'm gonna start with U Todd.
Speaker 1: What did you learn today? I learned that you don't
Speaker 1: like the Sixers roster. Too many square pegs in round
Speaker 1: hole to want to coach them. Yeah, Mike D'Antoni, I
Speaker 1: can't see him fitting into the system. You got Al
Speaker 1: Horford like what Dan TONI teaches. I'd want that New
Speaker 1: Orleans job. I'd want to get Zion out on the move,
Speaker 1: Lonzo Ball moving, Brandon Ingram. That would probably be a
Speaker 1: pretty good fit. And Indiana would be a good you know,
Speaker 1: it might be an interesting fit too, Yes, mclovin which
Speaker 1: Steve Levy doubled down on his Steven Gotskowski a Hall
Speaker 1: of Famer take? Did anybody else come to his defense?
Speaker 1: Because I said, look, he might be the Hall of
Speaker 1: very good, but he's not Hall of Famer Larry Gotskowsky.
Speaker 1: Steven his brother said, yes, no one did. I didn't
Speaker 1: think so. Seetan O'Connor, what did you learn today? Steve
Speaker 1: Levy A two bud light guy. Yeah, that's all we
Speaker 1: had after the game, two bud lights, Paulie. Steve Levy
Speaker 1: used to be mister Saturday Night. Now he's mister Money Night. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was good. It was a comfortable listening last night.
Speaker 1: So was Herbie and Fowler. I thought they did a
Speaker 1: really good well. I knew that they would sound good,
Speaker 1: but because they've been together for such a long time,
Speaker 1: it's just learning the NFL rules after you've been you know,
Speaker 1: all you've done is covered the college football game. What
Speaker 1: did I learn? Todd? The Clippers don't have a Disney
Speaker 1: easy pass to the Western Conference Finals. They actually have
Speaker 1: to beat the Nuggets first. During these unprecedented times, you
