We got a stat of the day, and 11 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 1: we got a poll question as well. All of that 12 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,240 Speaker 1: coming up eight seven seven three d P Show Email 13 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: address DP at dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle a 14 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: DPS show. I've been doing this a long time. I've 15 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 1: been doing this over three decades, and we probably had 16 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: a four or five day stretch that I never thought 17 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: would be happening. You had coaches fired, gms fired, You 18 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: had a guy playing quarterback who hadn't played quarterback and 19 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: just pulled off a practice squad. You got a game moved, 20 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,080 Speaker 1: You got a team in San Francisco that does and 21 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: have a home. Anymore other than that, just another regular weekend, 22 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 1: right and If you're looking for one game that encapsulates 23 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: all the problems in the NFL with COVID, looked no 24 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: further than the Saints and Broncos on Sunday after Jeff 25 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: Driscoll tested positive and each of the quarterbacks and the 26 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: rosters were with him without mask on, and Denver was 27 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: left without a quarterback, so they turned to a practice 28 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: squad receiver Kendall Hilton. He played that position in college, 29 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 1: and he did his best. He didn't get one snap 30 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 1: under center during the week, and they really didn't have 31 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: a chance. They were blown out thirty one to three, 32 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: and there's plenty of blame to go around. Denver head 33 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,119 Speaker 1: coach Vic Fangio said his quarterbacks were reckless. Others pointed 34 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: to the NFL they pushed back other games, but they 35 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: didn't in this case. They really seemed determined to punish 36 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: the Broncos and they're really determined to get this season 37 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: in on time. But the reality of the coronavirus might 38 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: be it's going to get in the way. Sunday's game 39 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: was a mess, but you get the feeling that's not 40 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: the last time the league has to make a decision 41 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: that no one is happy with. And when I'm watching 42 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 1: this game, I love this tweet that was sent out. 43 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: It was Kevin Clark and he tweets out the idea 44 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: of a game without quarterbacks. It's more fun than an 45 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:28,079 Speaker 1: actual game without quarterbacks. I'd love to see every team 46 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,679 Speaker 1: do this, every team, like one Sunday out of the year, 47 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,359 Speaker 1: every team has to play without a quarterback, a designated 48 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 1: quarterback on their roster. I don't know what it'll look like, 49 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: but yesterday with the Broncos, that was about as embarrassing 50 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: as it can get. Now, Denver did the best that 51 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 1: they could, but it felt like the NFL says, Oh, 52 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: you're not going to wear your mask in a room 53 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: with all the quarterbacks. Then you're going to basically be 54 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: without quarterbacks here. Then you got the Ravens situation. Who knows. 55 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: I think they're playing tomorrow, but I don't know. And 56 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: then they were going to play on Thursday, but they're 57 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: not playing on Thursday. It's a mess, and we're getting 58 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: right up to the line. We're getting right up to 59 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: that line where the NFL is going to have to 60 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: add another playoff team and another week of games. I 61 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: thought this was going to be the week where they 62 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: just said, Hey, you know what, we can't get these 63 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: games in the competitive balances at stake, And really that's 64 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 1: the key. I don't want you to go full speed 65 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: ahead like baseball did. Hey we don't care how many 66 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: games you play, Let's just get to the postseason. The 67 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: NFL has to put out something that resembles NFL football, 68 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: and they didn't do that. If you're a warm body, 69 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: you're playing for the Baltimore Ravens tomorrow. That's the feeling 70 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: I get. Maybe even if you're not that warm, you're 71 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: still going to be playing for the Ravens. And to me, 72 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: that's an embarrassment for the NFL. There were a couple 73 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: of games that stood out. That Denver game certainly did. 74 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: Forty nine ers are now in a jim. That's a 75 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: horrible or, I should say the Rams. A horrible loss. 76 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: For the Rams, you got to win those games. Where's 77 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: your offense? There? They had had offense and then they 78 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 1: had no offense yesterday. Patrick Mahomes beats Tom Brady In 79 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: yesterday's loss, Tampa dropped to one in five this season 80 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 1: against quarterbacks who have started Super Bowls. They lost to 81 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: Drew Brees twice and now they lost to Mahomes, Nick Foles, 82 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: and Jared Goff. They did defeat Aaron Rodgers against all 83 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,919 Speaker 1: the other quarterbacks. They're six and oh they still have 84 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: to face Matt Ryan though again. Brady has thrown eleven 85 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: interceptions this season, including nine at home. That ties for 86 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: the most picks he's had at home in any season. 87 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: You go back to two thousand and six when he 88 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: had nine. Kansas City kept them in the game as 89 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: great as Mahomes is and Tyreek Hill. By the way, 90 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 1: I know Bruce arians has forgot more football than I know, 91 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: but at some point I probably don't do man demand 92 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: coverage on Tyreek Hill. I mean, call me crazy, but 93 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: after he's got I don't know, two hundred receiving yards, 94 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: I go, maybe we don't. We don't cover him with 95 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 1: one guy straight up there. But they did, but they 96 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: stayed in the game. You got Seahawks and Eagles tonight. 97 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 1: I can't wait for the headline tomorrow because it's either 98 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: going to be Carson Wentz did something really good, Carson 99 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 1: Runs did something bad, Jalen Hurts did something really good, 100 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts did something really bad. And then you throw 101 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: in Russell Wilson Kenny add to what has been a 102 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: MVP like season. Any objections to what I said a 103 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. Patrick Mahomes is the MVP and 104 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 1: right now it's not even close. But he's underrated anybody, Yeah, exactly. 105 00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 1: You saw that yesterday. It's incredible what he's done. I 106 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: don't know if the team is great, but he is, 107 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: and Tyrick Hill is great. You still have Kelsey in there. 108 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: The defense is bendable, but it doesn't look like it's breakable, 109 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 1: and that offense is good enough to get you. They're 110 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: up seventeen nothing Now I make Brady one dimensional. That 111 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: completely changed the complexion of this. And I don't put 112 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 1: all of this on Brady. I don't know what game 113 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: Tony Romo was watching at times, because it felt like 114 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: this was what I think happened. Now. I don't have 115 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: any information. This is just me knowing what happens usually 116 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: during the week. Tony Romo probably got on a zoom 117 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: call Tom Brady and they probably started chatting a little bit, 118 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: as quarterbacks do, and then Tom probably said something, and 119 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 1: then Tony said something, and man, that offense and I 120 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: don't know is that the offense you ran in New 121 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,799 Speaker 1: England certainly looks different. They asking you to do different things, 122 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, Tom probably unloaded on 123 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: him a little bit, and therefore it felt like Tony 124 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: Romo was going out of his way to say this 125 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: isn't on Tom Brady. Well, Tom Brady picked Bruce Arians. 126 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: Maybe he didn't have a lot to pick from the 127 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: Bears and the Chargers and Tampa, but he chose this. 128 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: It's on him, that personality, that style, all of those weapons, 129 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: that's on him. But it feels like there's a little 130 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: bit of a fracture there, just a little bit, or 131 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: at least there's some tremors there. But hey, by the way, 132 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: Brady did congratulate Patrick Mallomes after the game, so there 133 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,239 Speaker 1: is progress there. Yes, Pauli Romo was crushing the Bucks 134 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: in the first half, but then at the end of 135 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: the game goes, oh, these two teams are going to 136 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: play again, and Nance was like, what was that, Tom? 137 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: They're not playing again this year. Tampa's going to be 138 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: on the road for the playoffs, the entire playoffs, Kansas City. 139 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: They might be on the road for a game if 140 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: they end up in Pittsburgh, but Tampa the way they're playing. 141 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: I don't see that happening. Peter King will join us, 142 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: coming up a little bit. We'll check in with the 143 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: Buccaneers next hour, and Maurice Jones Drew from the NFL 144 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: Network will stop by.

Okay, let's just jump 154 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,839 Speaker 1: into which coaching bacacy would you want? Because all of 155 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 1: a sudden, there's about ten of them, possibly the Jets. 156 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: Is it looking like they'll have Trevor Lawrence? Is that 157 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: going to be the spot? You know what? There are 158 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 1: people actually think the Jets have a little bit more 159 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: than what they show that it's not. You open up 160 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 1: the cupboard in there's nothing in there that it feels 161 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: like there's a little more there. I get nervous with 162 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: the front office and the ownership part of that. If 163 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: I bring somebody in and they get Trevor Lawrence, are 164 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: they going to get full autonomy there? Or how much 165 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 1: autonomy do they get? But I don't know if you 166 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: can get a new owner, it doesn't seem like that 167 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: it's going to happen when else McLevin, Wait, are you 168 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: saying that they are tanking basically like they have more 169 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: talent than they're showing. No, I don't right now. It 170 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: might be systemic where it's just that malaise that's over 171 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 1: a franchise and it's been there for a long time, 172 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: But I don't think it's I think they're better than 173 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 1: a winless team. Let me put it that way. That 174 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: doesn't mean that they're, you know, that much better than 175 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: Jacksonville and they have one win. But from what I'm 176 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: told that they're NFL personal people who look at the 177 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: Jets and say it's not as dire as you think. 178 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: They seem to be pathetic, but they're not. The other 179 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 1: teams on that list were the Jags. The Falcons may 180 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,199 Speaker 1: may not be opened now because Raheemos is doing a 181 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 1: nice job. The Lions just opened and the Texans are 182 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: still open. Is there like a plumb job out of 183 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:12,439 Speaker 1: that group? Um? You know, once Bill O'Brien was shown 184 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: the door, the Texans who played pretty well, I just 185 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:21,479 Speaker 1: don't like, you know, some salary cap issues there. Uh. 186 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: You know, Deshaun Watson has played pretty well. JJ wants 187 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 1: not going to be there next year, but I you know, 188 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: they traded away DeAndre Hopkins. They don't have much the 189 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 1: show for that. Are you sold on Will Fuller? I 190 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: don't know. It feels like Eric bi enemy is going 191 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: to get an opportunity to pick where he wants to go. 192 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: But you know, if Atlanta acts like I think Atlanta 193 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: is going to, and that is they're gonna reel off 194 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: like four or five in a row and probably beat 195 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: Tampa one of these two games, then you know, maybe 196 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: maybe Raheem Morris keeps that job. I don't know. But Jacksonville, 197 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:58,839 Speaker 1: if you don't get the number one pick, you get 198 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: the number two pick, And are you sold on Justin 199 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 1: Fields after what you saw a couple of weeks ago. 200 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: By the way, I have some information on the Big 201 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 1: ten in Ohio State, and it's not good news for 202 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 1: Ohio State. I have that for you, have that for 203 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: you coming up in a little bit. I forgot all 204 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: about it. I got this text from my college football 205 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 1: insider and he laid it out in pretty stark terms here. Yeah, Paul, 206 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: is this news gonna make Northwestern really upset? If you 207 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: know what I mean? That they could have had an 208 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:35,439 Speaker 1: easier path? I don't know. Maybe terrible loss by Northwestern, 209 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:40,559 Speaker 1: terrible loss, terrible. But you're gonna have openings here. You're 210 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: in college football. I mean, when you think about it, Vandy, 211 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: South Carolina, their jobs are open. Is Texas open? As 212 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: Michigan open, his Auburn open, his Tennessee open. Gonna have 213 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: a lot of marquee openings here in college football. Yeah, 214 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,079 Speaker 1: some mclovin. But I keep asking, you know, don't they 215 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: get to pass this year because of everything that's going on? 216 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 1: Can you really in college fire your coach despite the circumstances. 217 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: I guess it depends on how long you've been there. 218 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 1: And do you see a light at the end of 219 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: the tunnel. Yeah, if you say, Okay, So, what's the 220 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:20,839 Speaker 1: excuse with Michigan, with COVID's Penn what's Penn State's excuse, Well, 221 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 1: they've lost Micah Hyde, right, I don't think their best 222 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,719 Speaker 1: player and their second best player of the running back, 223 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 1: Michael Parsons. Michael Parsons, sorry, and their second best player, 224 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: the running back got a journey mart Condition. Yeah, that's 225 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 1: pretty big. I mean that's a good excuse. Okay, you're 226 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 1: still Penn State. James Franklin is a successful coach. He's 227 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: been there for a few years. What's Jim Harball's excuse 228 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: he doesn't have a quarterback? What did COVID have to 229 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: do with that? These are all his players. That has 230 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: nothing to do with this. I think if you're a 231 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 1: coach and you're not playing well, you're gonna lean on COVID. 232 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: But you know the coach, the coach ald Coastal Carolina, 233 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:13,079 Speaker 1: is he leaning on this by you? You know, run 234 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 1: down the list of all these Cincinnati how they somehow 235 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: had a great season. Are they leaning on COVID? So 236 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: if you're going to lean on it when you're losing, 237 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: then you get extra credit when you win with COVID. 238 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 1: But now I think the Big ten's got some issues 239 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: here coming up. What else do you have in club? 240 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 1: Are you in favor of the NFL expanding to sixteen 241 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: playoff teams. Now, now, as I understand, you said the 242 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 1: rules if there's a week eighteen that they'll add an 243 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: extra playoff team. I asked, why not go for it 244 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: now because it's such an unusual season anyway, and get 245 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: a couple more, give more teams a chance. Well, I 246 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: would do it, but I would have probably postponed this 247 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 1: this week. I would have tried to give these teams 248 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,559 Speaker 1: a chance to hit the reset button and get as 249 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: many teams as healthy as possible. You're, you know, three 250 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 1: quarters of the way through this season, and at some 251 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: point we knew that this was going to be an issue. 252 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: It happened sooner than I thought it was. It happened 253 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: sooner than a source said with the NFL that it 254 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: was going to happen. And now now it gets really 255 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: dicey here. But I think you're going to see the 256 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: NFL probably out a week eighteen here, and that way 257 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: they can allow these teams to exhale a little bit, 258 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: because after what we saw this weekend, I think they 259 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: needed to do it. Yeah, seton, but is that the 260 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: kind of thing, like, can you expand the playoffs in 261 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: the NFL for just one season and then go back 262 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 1: the next year to normal. Usually not I don't I 263 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: don't think that you would be able to. Yeah, it 264 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: feels like, you know, just like baseball when they said, hey, 265 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: we're going to sixteen teams and then it rarely do 266 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: you go And then you you backtrack a little bit, 267 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: and it feels like the NFL. You didn't get any 268 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 1: fans in the stands Now I get an extra round 269 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: of playoffs or extra teams in there, extra revenue in there, 270 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: And it feels like just like college football, if college 271 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: football could ever get their act together and not move 272 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 1: at a snails pace, then they probably could have been 273 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: able to do their you know, twelve or eighteen playoffs, 274 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: this would have been the year to do it. Yeah, point, 275 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: do you think the commissioner ego plays in at all? 276 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: That Roger Goodell and his guys want to play as 277 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: tight and unchanged of a season as they can and say, like, 278 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 1: look what we did were the NFL. We didn't bubble, 279 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: we didn't switch things around by months, we didn't take 280 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: a break. Any chance there is ego involved, Well, I'm 281 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: sure because it's the NFL, But you can also that 282 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: ego can come back and bite you where it's embarrassing 283 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: what you're trying to do and force this in. And 284 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: I got that feeling with the NFL this past weekend. 285 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: You know, Denver may have brought this on itself, but 286 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 1: that game should not have been played. You know, Baltimore, 287 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna move it, and then we're gonna move it now. 288 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: We're gonna play Tuesday that shouldn't That shouldn't be played, 289 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: in my opinion, should not be played. But the NFL 290 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 1: wants to have this time and they everything that they've 291 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 1: done this year, we're going to have everything as scheduled. 292 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: Might not look the same, everything's going to be scheduled, 293 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: and that's what they want to do. But I think 294 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: we're going to get to the point of breaking point 295 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: where we're going to have to have an eighteen eighteen 296 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: week added to the schedule. All right, we'll take a break. 297 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: Peter King will join us coming up. We'll talk to 298 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: him about some of these issues that we saw. Was 299 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: the NFL punishing the Broncos. Seahawks Eagles is a big 300 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: game tonight, and I think Jalen Hurts is going to 301 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 1: play a whole lot more than Doug Peterson is letting 302 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: on Ravens Steelers is supposed to be on Tuesday.

He's Peter King the 341 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 1: football morning in America columnists NBC Sports dot Com, Pete 342 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: joins us Now. Pete explained the Denver Broncos situation and 343 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 1: why this game was played well because on October thirteenth, 344 00:18:55,440 --> 00:19:03,399 Speaker 1: Roger Goodell sent an email service sent I guess you 345 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:10,239 Speaker 1: might call it a sort of a manifest about the 346 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: way he wanted the rest of the NFL season to go. 347 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:19,120 Speaker 1: And he said in that document very clearly that although 348 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: many of us in the media had speculated, because there's 349 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 1: a lot of people in the league who wanted it 350 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: this way, we had speculated that if a position group 351 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,120 Speaker 1: gets knocked out now, they're going to postpone the game 352 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: and they'll make it up in week eighteen. And Roger 353 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: Goodell sent out this memo that said, no, this is 354 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:41,119 Speaker 1: why you have been handed a sixteen person practice squad. 355 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 1: You figure away to if you get your offensive line 356 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,160 Speaker 1: wiped out, you figure a way to get an offensive 357 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: line to be ready to play. And the same thing 358 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 1: happened with Denver. You know, Bill Polian, who's an advisor 359 00:19:55,280 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: to Goodell this year, told me yesterday, essentially, hey, Bruce 360 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: arians has one of his quarterbacks set apart from all 361 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: the other quarterbacks, so that if they test positive, He'll 362 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: always have one, And he said the Bronchos chose not 363 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 1: to do that. If he was saying everything that he 364 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 1: wanted to say, he would have said dumb moved by 365 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: the Broncos. But in reality, Dan, it kind of was. 366 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: So teams have been on notice for six weeks that 367 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,160 Speaker 1: if they get a position group wiped out, they're still 368 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 1: going to have to play. And Dan, this all goes 369 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: back to something that Goodell told me right around Labor Day, 370 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 1: and that is there is no guarantee that the disease, 371 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: that the virus is going to get any better anytime soon, 372 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: and we're seeing that right now. It's getting worse every 373 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:58,199 Speaker 1: week rather than getting better. So the NFL's view is 374 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: we would rather see a compromised football game then push 375 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 1: the season back a week and risk not being able 376 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 1: to finish the season. But what do you think it's 377 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: going to take for the commissioner to have that add 378 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:16,439 Speaker 1: that extra week and maybe that extra playoff team in 379 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: each conference. What it would take, I believe, is an 380 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 1: outbreak such as Baltimore's, but an outbreak such as Baltimore's 381 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 1: that shows no signs of flagging. So, in other words, 382 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 1: you know the outbreak in Baltimore is now getting less. 383 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 1: There were two more players added to its Saturday one 384 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: on Sunday, and the Ravens have been told flat out 385 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 1: by Alan Sills and the people inside the NFL, look, 386 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 1: we see this going away, you know, we think we 387 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: have this virus contained now. If they were in the 388 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 1: middle of it and every day they're getting eight or 389 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 1: ten more people put on the list, that is when 390 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: I believe the NFL would say we got to create 391 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 1: a week eighteen if and only if that the games 392 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 1: have some playoffs significance. If Jacksonville and the Jets, I 393 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: don't even know if they're playing, but if Jacksonville and 394 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: the Jets had a game canceled, our game postponed, they 395 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: wouldn't make up the game. Talking to Peter King as 396 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 1: Colum must read Football Morning in America, I'm trying to 397 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 1: figure out. I feel like I know the Kansas City Chiefs. 398 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: I don't know the Tampa Bay Buccaneers like I figured 399 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 1: the Kansas like. I'm just not quite sure. So let 400 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 1: me start with the Buccaneers. Where do you stand with them? 401 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: Of where they are now? And maybe bigger picture here, 402 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,400 Speaker 1: I mean the incredible thing about the Bucks is that 403 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 1: there have been times this year where Brady has been 404 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 1: in total concert with the play calling and his receivers. 405 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: I can think of three or four games where he's 406 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,879 Speaker 1: looked absolutely marvelous. And then there are times when you 407 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 1: know the ball is falling five yards in front of 408 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:09,360 Speaker 1: his receivers and you're saying, what just happened. I think 409 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,160 Speaker 1: it has something to do with two things, Dan. Number one, 410 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 1: Tom Brady is a guy who loves to throw the football. 411 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 1: I'm talking about during the week, in practice, in the offseason, 412 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: even at the age of forty three, he is throwing 413 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 1: pain free, and you know, because he's got his mechanics 414 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 1: worked on with Tom House, and he's throwing the ball 415 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,639 Speaker 1: and he's so comfortable with it that when he was 416 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: in New England, you know he would throw maybe not 417 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 1: year round, but close to it, and that would allow 418 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 1: him to get, you know, formed such a great bond 419 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 1: with his receivers. The year that Chris Hogan came in, 420 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: for instance, as a free agent, and then in the 421 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: Super Bowl comeback against Atlanta, that was his big season. 422 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 1: I remember saying to Brady after the season, how did 423 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:08,120 Speaker 1: you get in such great chemistry? With Chris Hogan and 424 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 1: with Malcolm Mitchell, that guy who had the one year 425 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: run with the Patriots, How do't you And he said, 426 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: you know, one hundred and twenty two practices. He knew 427 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 1: how many practices he had, and so in the off 428 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 1: season that's part of his time with his receivers. And 429 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,120 Speaker 1: although they did some stuff off the field, it wasn't 430 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: organized and Arians and left which weren't there. So I 431 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 1: think that's part of it. And I think the other 432 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 1: part of it is too that defenses know exactly how 433 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,120 Speaker 1: to play Tom Brady right now, and what they're doing 434 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,640 Speaker 1: is they're taking advantage of the fact that Arians loves 435 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,639 Speaker 1: to throw the ball deep and so he doesn't really 436 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: get the amount of protection that some teams would give, 437 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 1: for instance, keeping in a second tight end to help 438 00:24:54,800 --> 00:25:00,119 Speaker 1: Brady like a sixth offensive lineman. In my opinion, that's 439 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 1: what they should do more of right now to help 440 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 1: Brady have a chance to be more of Brady this year. 441 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 1: But you're right, I really from week to week it's 442 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,640 Speaker 1: hard to know what to expect from them. Yeah, I'm 443 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: watching yesterday and Tony Romo went out of his way 444 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 1: to basically say I'm not putting this on Tom Brady. 445 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 1: I'm putting this on Bruce Arians and this offensive game plan. 446 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: Tom Brady knew what he was signing up for. He 447 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:25,879 Speaker 1: knew what he was signing up for, Bruce Arians. He 448 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 1: knew what he was signing up with his offensive philosophy. Right, well, 449 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: he did. But let's just be let's be honest about this. 450 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 1: Part of this was about a lifestyle change and the 451 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 1: fact that, as he told me in the summer, he said, 452 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,440 Speaker 1: you know, this is my thirtieth year in football, and 453 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 1: it's the first season I'm ever entering with an offensive 454 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 1: head coach. His high school, college and professional head coaches 455 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 1: have all been defensive guys. So that was part of it. 456 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,160 Speaker 1: And the second part is Dan tell me how many 457 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 1: options he had. You know, I think that he wishes 458 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 1: the Indianapolis cults were interested because that I think he 459 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 1: would have loved to have worked with Frank Reich, But 460 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,440 Speaker 1: the Colts weren't interested. And so, you know, I think 461 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 1: you have to look at your situation and what options 462 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:24,479 Speaker 1: you have, and look, I think that this has a 463 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 1: chance to turn out. Okay. It maybe not super Bowl okay, 464 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,360 Speaker 1: but better than it looks right now. Because I just 465 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 1: when you count out Tom Brady, you usually are disappointed. 466 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:42,680 Speaker 1: Do you think Brady's better than Philip Rivers today right now? 467 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 1: I do? Yeah, Yeah, yeah. I was surprised. I know 468 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 1: Tom reached out to the Colts, at least I was 469 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 1: told that, and the Colts basically they had already made 470 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,159 Speaker 1: up their mind they were going with Philip Rivers. I 471 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 1: think that was easy, though, Dan, because of Frank Reich's 472 00:26:55,800 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 1: history of Philip Rivers. If Carson wentz bench, he should be, 473 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 1: you know, just financially, well, financially, it's gonna hurt if 474 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 1: you put him on the bench, obviously, But you know, look, 475 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: it's almost like, you know, the Chicago Bears hoping against 476 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: Hope week after week after week all of last year. Basically, 477 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: you know, oh geez, you know Trubisky is going to 478 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,439 Speaker 1: come out of it early this year. Trubisky is going 479 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 1: to come out of it. And you know, at some 480 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,120 Speaker 1: point you have to say, what's the best thing to 481 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:36,160 Speaker 1: win the game this week? And in my opinion, I 482 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: think Doug Peterson it's long past time, it's two weeks 483 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,919 Speaker 1: past time to consider playing Jalen Hurts. What are the 484 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 1: Niners going to do? I think they are going to 485 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:53,199 Speaker 1: argue with the county in Santa Clara, and obviously you 486 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:57,120 Speaker 1: saw last night they're extremely upset with them because instead 487 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 1: of telling them what they were going to do, they 488 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: issued a press release. They're going to argue with them 489 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:07,360 Speaker 1: that look, we have done a great job in uh, 490 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: you know, in keeping our facility clean, blah blah blah 491 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 1: blah blah. But if they lose, you know, I've always 492 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 1: thought the best place for them to go was was 493 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 1: Arizona because of the multiple places they could find to 494 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 1: work and the ready made NFL stadium. I have no 495 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,880 Speaker 1: idea what the stadium in San Diego looks like right now, Dan, 496 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 1: but I think it makes more And I have no 497 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: idea what the Oakland Coliseum looks like right now. Could 498 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 1: the Oakland Coliseum be in shape to play a football 499 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: game that the that the forty nine ers need on Sunday. 500 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: They need to win a game, you know, the next 501 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: two weeks to stay in this playoff hunt and their 502 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: home the next two weeks, and I think it'll be difficult. 503 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: That's why I think they got to go to already 504 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 1: made NFL stadium and Arizona makes the most sense to me. 505 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 1: Why did the Lions now realize they needed to move 506 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 1: on from Matt Patricia? They were, you know, look, it's 507 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 1: an inexperienced owner. She just got the team this year. 508 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: She doesn't know what she doesn't know, Sheila hamp Ford, 509 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: Sheila Ford, hamp excuse me, she just doesn't know. And 510 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 1: so she wanted to give her team a chance, as 511 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 1: big a chance as she could. And then when she 512 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 1: saw what happened in the last two weeks, she said, 513 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 1: this is unfixable. And it probably was going to be 514 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 1: unfixable anyway, but I think she just said, I want 515 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 1: to give this, you know, my people as much of 516 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: a chance as as they deserve. Where do you think 517 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 1: is going to be the best opening head coach? Wise Houston, 518 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 1: I wrote this morning that, you know, I think it 519 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 1: would be so cool to see Eric b Enemy graduate 520 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 1: from Patrick Mahomes to Deshaun Watson. Can you imagine you're 521 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator and then you're a head coach and 522 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 1: the two quarterbacks in the primary year career, Patrick Mahomes 523 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 1: and Deshaun Watson be incredible And so I always will 524 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 1: go for the place that has the young quarterback under 525 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: contract and a clean slate The other thing about Houston. 526 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: You know, Houston is a wounded animal right now. You 527 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 1: know they need to be totally rebuilt. So the fact 528 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: that they don't have a one or two this year 529 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: Dan wouldn't really bother me. I think that's an attractive job. Yeah, 530 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 1: it makes me nervous though, with no draft picks and 531 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 1: salary cap issues and JJ Watt, what do you do 532 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 1: with him? I love Deshaun Watson, but would the Jets 533 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 1: be a better opening with a clean slate with a 534 00:30:54,280 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: quarterback on a rookie contract? I mean, look at look 535 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 1: at the New York Jets. You know they choose they 536 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 1: choose Adam Gaze over Matt Rule, and they could have 537 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 1: had Matt Rule. And I'm not saying Matt Rule is 538 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 1: Paul Brown, but he's better than Adam Gas and they 539 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 1: were just comfortable with taking an NFL coach and you know, 540 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 1: it's turned out to be a disaster. I have faith 541 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 1: in Joe Douglas. I think Joe Douglas is really good. Um, 542 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 1: but there are issues inside that organization. There just are 543 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 1: there always have been. There's a reason why Bill Belichick 544 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 1: resigned as the HC of the nyj And uh, you know, 545 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 1: somebody has to take that that franchise by the neck 546 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 1: and shake it and say this is my team. It's 547 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 1: got to be a very strong personality. And so to me, 548 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 1: I don't think it's hopeless with the Jets, but I 549 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 1: do think that I'd rather go to a place where 550 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 1: I know the quarterback is really good already. Hey, what 551 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 1: do you think of Jim Harbaugh coaching the Lions? I mean, 552 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 1: first of all, so much of getting a coach. I 553 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: don't want to say winning the press conference, but you know, 554 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 1: I'm not saying he got run out of town on 555 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 1: a rail in San Francisco, but they were happy to 556 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 1: see him go at the end. Jim Harbaugh is not 557 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 1: for everybody. He's very, very rough, and I wonder how 558 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 1: he would be in a losing atmosphere. Plus the other 559 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 1: thing about the Lions is what are you gonna do 560 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 1: with Matthew Stafford? And I look, I don't think Matthew 561 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 1: Stafford is bad in any way, shape or form, but 562 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 1: Danny's been the quarterback of that team for twelve years 563 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,280 Speaker 1: and they've never won anything. And I'm not saying I 564 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 1: understand how quarterback wins isn't a stat I get it, 565 00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 1: but can you please lift your franchise once, just once? 566 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,880 Speaker 1: And he just has never done it. So now what 567 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 1: do you do. Do you keep him at thirty five 568 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 1: million next year or do you get rid of him 569 00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 1: and take a twenty five million dollar cap hit? And 570 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 1: it's not going to be a horrible thing. If you 571 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 1: draft a quarterback to train, you don't want to go 572 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 1: out and sign a free agent quarterback for money. You 573 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:24,480 Speaker 1: want to draft a young quarterback and you want to 574 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 1: get him ready to go in your system. And that's 575 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 1: probably what I would do right now. If I were 576 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,040 Speaker 1: in the Detroit Lions, I'd start fresh everywhere. And I 577 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,520 Speaker 1: was told prior to the draft, I wondered if they 578 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 1: kicked the tires on Tuah in Detroit, And then I 579 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,040 Speaker 1: was told that the front off it like everybody knew 580 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 1: their jobs were at stake this year if they didn't win, 581 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 1: and if you did take Tuah, you had your quarterback 582 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 1: of the future, but you might not be there in 583 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,959 Speaker 1: the you know, in the future with him. Can you 584 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 1: imagine right now if they had Tah and not Jeff Okuda, 585 00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,239 Speaker 1: who Hey, look it's been eleven games, but he's been 586 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,239 Speaker 1: a total non impact player and we'll see what the 587 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 1: future brings. And the only reason you draft Jeff Akuta 588 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 1: is because the head coach was at war with Darius 589 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,239 Speaker 1: Slay and they had to get rid of them. They 590 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 1: couldn't resign them, so you know that that era had 591 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,840 Speaker 1: to end, and obviously, in retrospect, they should have taken 592 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,840 Speaker 1: to him. And I'm kind of bummed out after talking 593 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:27,839 Speaker 1: to you, Pete. I don't know if we we had 594 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 1: any good news here, any anything to any what about 595 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 1: can we just can we just mentioned Patrick Mahomes and 596 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 1: how watching him every week is a gift the way 597 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 1: Bulls fans used to have with Michael Jordan. But it 598 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,320 Speaker 1: took us a little while to take Mike for granted. 599 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,880 Speaker 1: I said this a month ago, I said, Patrick Mahomes 600 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,480 Speaker 1: is the MVP. If we want to do this week 601 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 1: to week where we go who's the MVP and who's 602 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:54,879 Speaker 1: in and who's Patrick Mahomes is Like, it's not even 603 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 1: close right now. I don't think what he does. You 604 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:03,240 Speaker 1: know what, it's a sixteen game board, and I think 605 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,959 Speaker 1: after six weeks, I easily I definitely would have voted 606 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,759 Speaker 1: for Russell Wilson today, I would vote for Mahomes and 607 00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 1: Rogers and Wilson would be second and third in some order. 608 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,320 Speaker 1: But you're right, I you know what, and I hope listen, 609 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 1: I'm voting for the MVP every year. I'm not saying, well, 610 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,000 Speaker 1: Mahomes won it three years in a row. I'm not 611 00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 1: voting for him this year. I'm voting for somebody else. 612 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,759 Speaker 1: That's not the way you do it. Every single year 613 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,480 Speaker 1: is a snowflake, it's an individual entity. It's different. And 614 00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:38,600 Speaker 1: if he's the MVP, vote for him. But look, you know, 615 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:43,239 Speaker 1: right now today, entering December, he is the MVP. Thirty touchdowns, 616 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 1: two interceptions, and it doesn't look difficult. That's the amazing thing. 617 00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 1: Everything comes easy to him. Dan. Last week, they're in Vegas, okay, 618 00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 1: and they're down. You know, they're down by four points 619 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 1: at three different points of the second happen each time 620 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:05,200 Speaker 1: they go down four he comes back with a drive 621 00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:09,759 Speaker 1: of over seventy yards and you're right, it just does 622 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:13,720 Speaker 1: not look hard. It's the amazing part of watching him play. 623 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:17,800 Speaker 1: It's a gift. And look, Aaron Rodgers is unbelievable too. 624 00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:23,080 Speaker 1: He's absolutely fantastic and he is carrying that team as 625 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:27,840 Speaker 1: well as Mahomes is with Kansas City. So sometimes you 626 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:31,760 Speaker 1: forget about Rogers, but he's unbelievably good. Thank you, Pete, 627 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 1: thanks for staying up and you can read the column 628 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:38,160 Speaker 1: Football Morning in America.

This 653 00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:13,480 Speaker 1: is from a source yesterday last night. Strong speculation that 654 00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:19,040 Speaker 1: Northwestern versus Minnesota and Ohio State versus Michigan State get canceled. 655 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:23,759 Speaker 1: That would eliminate Ohio State from the conference championship. So 656 00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:27,520 Speaker 1: they'll be desperate, but a high number of players will 657 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:32,120 Speaker 1: be missing. I followed up by saying, what else do 658 00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,720 Speaker 1: you know? Ohio State is going to try to play 659 00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:38,400 Speaker 1: even if they're down. They're top guys. So once again, 660 00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:43,719 Speaker 1: strong speculation Northwestern versus Minnesota, Ohio State versus Michigan State 661 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 1: get canceled, and that would eliminate Ohio State from the 662 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:51,359 Speaker 1: Conference championship. They wouldn't qualify with enough games, so they're 663 00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,719 Speaker 1: desperate to try to be able to get this game 664 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:57,880 Speaker 1: in a high number of players right now would be missing. 665 00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 1: Also got this information from Adam Schefter. NFL canceled the 666 00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:06,840 Speaker 1: Ravens practice schedule for this morning, per league source. The 667 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:11,680 Speaker 1: Ravens last practice this Saturday before the Titans game, currently 668 00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:15,720 Speaker 1: scheduled to play in Pittsburgh tomorrow night. The Ravens travel 669 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:21,400 Speaker 1: plans are in flux snow forecasted in Pittsburgh Tuesday morning. 670 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,640 Speaker 1: You know, at some point the NFL just has to 671 00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:30,040 Speaker 1: say this ain't happening. I don't know what else has 672 00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:36,600 Speaker 1: to happen before them to say that. Yeah, Paully, this 673 00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:38,760 Speaker 1: feels kind of like, you know, you're watching an action 674 00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,680 Speaker 1: movie and the building is falling down around the celebrities, 675 00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,040 Speaker 1: Bruce Willis and all that stuff, and they're running out 676 00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,439 Speaker 1: the pieces falling there. Sports wise, that's what the past 677 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:50,600 Speaker 1: week it's felt like. I just don't know, you know, 678 00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:55,120 Speaker 1: at what point do you say this isn't a competitive game, 679 00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:58,080 Speaker 1: that this is not fair to the Ravens to play 680 00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,399 Speaker 1: this game. You know, it's nobody fault, you know, it's 681 00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,319 Speaker 1: it's COVID's fault. But at some point the NFL, it 682 00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,799 Speaker 1: feels like we're going to move it from Thursday. We 683 00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,080 Speaker 1: can't have it Monday. Now we're gonna do it Tuesday. 684 00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:13,200 Speaker 1: That's going to affect the Ravens schedule the following week. Like, 685 00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:16,440 Speaker 1: at some point, these are dominoes and you have to 686 00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:21,680 Speaker 1: stop the game of dominoes here. I understand the Steelers, 687 00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:26,399 Speaker 1: they're undefeated, but at some point, like the Steelers don't 688 00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:30,320 Speaker 1: don't know if this game is going to happen either, Yeah, seton, 689 00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,680 Speaker 1: but shouldn't we It doesn't seem like anybody's talking about 690 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,120 Speaker 1: forefeitt in games, But shouldn't the Ravens be forced to 691 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,600 Speaker 1: forfeit then if the game's not going to happen, the 692 00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:40,400 Speaker 1: Steelers should still get that win. It's I mean, it's 693 00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,560 Speaker 1: the Raven's fault that this is happening. I know, but 694 00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,960 Speaker 1: this is where they're not like the Broncos where the 695 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,560 Speaker 1: quarterbacks didn't wear a mask in a meeting, or the 696 00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:51,839 Speaker 1: Titans and what they did or didn't do, or what 697 00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,879 Speaker 1: the Raiders did or didn't do. I don't know if 698 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:58,440 Speaker 1: the Ravens are being accused of anything other than they have, 699 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,719 Speaker 1: you know, a lot of positive test and then there's 700 00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:06,160 Speaker 1: tracing issues here. You know, more players, more people tested 701 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,920 Speaker 1: positive over the weekend. Now you've got a practice that's canceled. 702 00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,440 Speaker 1: Now you don't even know about travel due to snow 703 00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:16,360 Speaker 1: like at some point. And this is a marquee matchup. 704 00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:20,360 Speaker 1: This isn't a throwaway game, you know, the Bengals against 705 00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,080 Speaker 1: the Jags. I mean, this is a really important game 706 00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:26,480 Speaker 1: for both of these teams right now. And the Ravens 707 00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:29,160 Speaker 1: on the outside of the playoffs looking in Pittsburgh trying 708 00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:32,520 Speaker 1: to go for an undefeated season. Yeah, does the league 709 00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:34,439 Speaker 1: care at all? What is and isn't a bad look? 710 00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:36,680 Speaker 1: I know they had that big manifesto warning teams, and 711 00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:39,440 Speaker 1: it looks good on paper to fine and take draft 712 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:41,799 Speaker 1: picks away, but to still push ahead and just have 713 00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,479 Speaker 1: that attitude that we're playing these games no matter what. Well, 714 00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:47,200 Speaker 1: I think the bad look is to not play a game. 715 00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:51,360 Speaker 1: If I'm the NFL, they're probably saying, Okay, what looks worse. 716 00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,800 Speaker 1: We somehow get a team out there and play, or 717 00:41:56,360 --> 00:42:00,239 Speaker 1: we don't play at all, or there's a forfeit. You know, 718 00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:04,279 Speaker 1: we could watch what the Broncos did and you may 719 00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,960 Speaker 1: have something like that with the Ravens, and we don't 720 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:08,960 Speaker 1: want to go through what we saw of the Broncos. Again, 721 00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:12,319 Speaker 1: and this is a marquee matchup, and I think you 722 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,160 Speaker 1: just have to be flexible to be able to say 723 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,520 Speaker 1: it's not going to happen this week, where you know 724 00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,800 Speaker 1: we'll play this in week eighteen. We're going to add 725 00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:24,120 Speaker 1: a week eighteen. That way you can you can look 726 00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:27,080 Speaker 1: at some of these situations and say, let's just move 727 00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:29,279 Speaker 1: it to week eighteen. Now. I know that there may 728 00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,879 Speaker 1: be other games for other teams, and maybe there's two 729 00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,440 Speaker 1: games that are in jeopardy. I understand all of this, 730 00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:37,040 Speaker 1: but I think you're going to get to the point 731 00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:40,919 Speaker 1: where it doesn't seem like it's a real football game 732 00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:44,480 Speaker 1: or it's fair to one or the other here. And 733 00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,719 Speaker 1: if this doesn't move us to the week eighteen, I 734 00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:50,960 Speaker 1: don't know if you're going to have a scenario when 735 00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:54,520 Speaker 1: when that happens. All right, coming up next hour, we'll 736 00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:58,239 Speaker 1: check in on Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Is everything okay with 737 00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:01,640 Speaker 1: the Buccaneers. We'll hear from Tom Brady as well. Phone 738 00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:03,640 Speaker 1: calls were welcome. We'll get to best and worst to 739 00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:07,160 Speaker 1: the weekend Seahawks and the Eagles that's coming up tonight. 740 00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:11,239 Speaker 1: And we think the Ravens and Steelers tomorrow did we 741 00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:14,239 Speaker 1: settle on the poll question, McLevin. We did, and I'll 742 00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:16,600 Speaker 1: tell you after the break. Did I wake you up? 743 00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:18,960 Speaker 1: I was giving you the thumbs up.
