1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. It's our one on this Wednesday, Dan and 3 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 1: The Dane's Dan Patrick Show. If you don't have a 4 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 1: dog in the fight or a dog in the pound, 5 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,720 Speaker 1: you should be rooting for the Cleveland Browns this weekend. 6 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,480 Speaker 1: Because it's been a long time, a long long time, 7 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,959 Speaker 1: and now degree of difficulty has just been ratcheted up 8 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 1: even more. Your head coach, who has been brilliant, and 9 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 1: I think the big reason for Baker Mayfield's succession here 10 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,200 Speaker 1: has been Kevin Stefanski is play calling. I think that 11 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,480 Speaker 1: you can look at the offensive line. The offensive line 12 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,919 Speaker 1: has been probably their best positional group here, and you're 13 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 1: not gonna have your head coach and you're not going 14 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: to have an all Pro offensive guard. Other than that, 15 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: you're going to go into Pittsburgh a team that is 16 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: rested after resting a lot of their players last week 17 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: and the game that Cleveland had to win. And I 18 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: don't know how you're able to pull this off, but Cleveland, 19 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: they've waited a long time. It's almost two decades since 20 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: their last playoff appearance and here they are and it's 21 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: not going as scripted. That's for sure, but we'll keep 22 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 1: an eye on what is going on with this team. 23 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: The only thing that I was wondering about all of 24 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: this is the Browns played the Steelers and you have 25 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: Browns players who have tested positive or they're in the 26 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: COVID protocol. Anybody on Pittsburgh testing positive here? I mean, 27 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: I'm just it's just a random thought, but that was 28 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: what came to mind when I realized that there was 29 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 1: this COVID outbreak with the Browns, with the head coach, 30 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: with an offensive lineman, a couple other staff members. Anybody 31 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 1: on Pittsburgh testing positive. Just something to keep an eye. Am. 32 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: Welcome to the program, Dan and The Dan and Stan 33 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: Patrick Show. You can watch on Peacock. You can download 34 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: the app. You can watch for free. Of course the 35 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio lineup. We'll check in with the Browns. 36 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: The former offensive tackle for the Browns, Doug Deacon, he's 37 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: one of the Browns broadcasters. He'll join us a little 38 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 1: bit later on in this show. We'll come up but 39 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: the poll question, play of the day, stat of the day. 40 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: But we start with a big congratulations to Davante Smith 41 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:10,359 Speaker 1: winning the Heisman Trophy. You gotta look and say the 42 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: most unlikely winner in one of the more unusual college 43 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: football seasons. We've ever had the most unusual college football season. 44 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: And I always love to go back to the preseason 45 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: Heisman picks because normally either Paulie or mclovin will go, Hey, 46 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: you can have the top two Heisman picks as far 47 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: as what Vegas thinks or everybody else, and I go, 48 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: I'll take everybody else, Sam Darnold. You could have Sam Darnold, 49 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: everybody else. You can have Deshaun Watson or everybody else. 50 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: You can have Andrew Luck or everybody else. Everybody else 51 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: always wins. Davante Smith's name was nowhere to be found 52 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: on the preseason Heisman list. He wasn't even considered the 53 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: best wide receiver on his own team. That's Jalen Waddow 54 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: is the broken ankle, and now we're finding out it's 55 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: been cleared to practice. He may play in the National 56 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,959 Speaker 1: title game. He had three touchdowns in the National semifinal game, 57 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: but that doesn't factor in because the voting deadline. But 58 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: you know, the win is unusual because of the position. 59 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: He's the first wide receiver to win the award since 60 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 1: Desmond did it in nineteen ninety one, and the award 61 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: has basically been given to quarterbacks. Only three non quarterbacks 62 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: have won it since two thousand. But he's a worthy exception. 63 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,119 Speaker 1: And I don't know when it was, but I came 64 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 1: in on a Monday and I said, he's the best player. 65 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: He's the best player on the field in every game 66 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: that he plays. I don't know how that you know this, 67 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: you know, translates into success. We love to look at 68 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: Heisman winners say yeah, but he wasn't a good pro. Yeah, 69 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: you're right. I mean Gino Torretta was not a good pro. 70 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: I mean, we've had quarterbacks down through the years. Eric 71 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: Crouch was not, Jason White was not. You know, Danny 72 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: warfol was not. I understand that. But I vote in 73 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: accordance to what I see while they're playing in college. 74 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: I don't go, you know, I don't know if Johnny 75 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: Manziel is going to be good in the pros. I 76 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: just know with what I see, what I saw, that 77 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: that's what the award is based on when I vote. 78 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: Davante Smith was the best player on any field that 79 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: I saw him on this year, and he proved it 80 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 1: again last weekend. But as far as what he's going 81 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: to do in the pros. And I checked in with 82 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: a source last night and I said, what do you 83 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: think the Jets do at number two? And he said, 84 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 1: I wonder if they keep Sam Darnold and they go 85 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: after Davante Smith. He said, but a lot can happen 86 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: before the draft. But he said, you know, I wouldn't 87 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: be surprised if they kept Sam and then they drafted 88 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 1: Davante Smith. And I went, wow, I don't know if 89 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: I'd go in that direction, but I understand if they do. 90 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: And there's still people spec elating about did the Eagles 91 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: actually try to blow that game so they could go 92 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 1: up in the draft from nine to six, So maybe 93 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: they would take Davonte Smith. Even before the game, Albert 94 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: Brier speculated the Eagles had a lot of healthy scratches 95 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: and if they were gonna lose, they could get to 96 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: number six in the draft and they could take Davante Smith. 97 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 1: Now there's other wide receivers, you know, Kyle Pitts at 98 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: Florida tight end Jamar Chase, who didn't play, he opted out. 99 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: We're gonna talk to Albert Brier in about fifteen minutes 100 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 1: from now, because I really found that tweet to be 101 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 1: very very interesting. Howie Roseman is the GM and he's 102 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: been under a lot of heat because he's missed on 103 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: receivers here. But is this one of those situations where 104 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: he calls down from the press box and says to 105 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 1: Doug Peterson, Doug put in Sudfel or do you have 106 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: a conversation earlier in the week, like when does that happen? 107 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 1: Like this? This is story that has legs, you know, 108 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: with I think Doug Peterson risk losing the locker room 109 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: with this, and you're already running that risk with whatever 110 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: happens with Carson Wentz if you decide to stay with 111 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. And now Jalen Hurts is on the bench, 112 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 1: and I wonder, because he gave you a spark. I 113 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:28,039 Speaker 1: think this is a really really delicate, fragile time for 114 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: the Eagles going into the draft and what they're going 115 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: to do. But we'll talk to Albert Brewer about that, 116 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 1: because I found that really fascinating. How does that happen 117 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: where you decide that you're going to throw a game 118 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 1: for the lack of a better description here, because you're 119 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: gonna put him in. At that point, I was thinking 120 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: if I want to totally throw you off the scent 121 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: where you're not gonna, you know, read into something I 122 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: would have started Nate Sudfeld. Not put him in when 123 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: we're down three in a close game. But we'll talk 124 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: to Albert about them.

If you're a Davante Smith. 131 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: You can win the Heisman last night, or I guarantee 132 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: you win the title. Which do you take now? It 133 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: would be a different question for Mac Joess. Mac didn't 134 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: already win a title. He might have been on the team, 135 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: but he didn't win that title a couple of years ago. 136 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: All right, running buy me again. You're DeVante Smith last night, 137 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: seven pm Eastern before the Terrebody. I say I'm the devil, 138 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: and I give you a deal. You can win this Heisman, 139 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: but you'll lose the title. Game, or I can guarantee 140 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: you win the title game and you lose the Heisman. 141 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: So which is better? The Heisman or a national championship. Well, 142 00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: he's got a national championship. Yeah, is that a key factor? Um? 143 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: There's a lot of people who are still living off 144 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: their Heisman trophy and they were on the broadcast last night. Um, 145 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: I would want the Heisman. How about this if you said, 146 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: I win the Heisman, but you don't know what's going 147 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: to happen in the national title game, or you don't 148 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: win the Heisman and you do win the national title game. 149 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: Could I could I have it like that where it's 150 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 1: a little a little more. I want to be a 151 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:38,199 Speaker 1: team player, as I'm always shouting, where's my sports Emmy? 152 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: But you know, judging by you know what the kid 153 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: seems to be like in his makeup there, you know 154 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: he wants to win that national title, but he's already 155 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 1: got one. That was the only if you said to 156 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,679 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, hey, you can win a national title or 157 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: win the Heisman, He's gonna take the national title. I'm 158 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: gonna guess again, because that, like as a quarter back, 159 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: that puts you into a different category, like we don't 160 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: think about skill position players like all that running back 161 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: or that wide receiver quarterback. It's different. Like two time 162 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: national champ. I still find it amazing, though. If you 163 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: would have said Tuah after he won a title his 164 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 1: freshman year, and Trevor won a title after his freshman 165 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: during his freshman year, they're not winning another one and 166 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,680 Speaker 1: they're not winning the Heisman, you probably would have gotten 167 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 1: some pretty long odds against that happening. All right, what 168 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: else do you have? Mclovin, by way, would Trevor have 169 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: gone out? Is like the greatest college quarterback if he'd 170 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 1: won another title to have two titles? I know Tibo 171 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: one two, but he wasn't the full time starter on 172 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 1: the first one. Like that would have put Trevor in 173 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 1: really rare air. Yeah, yeah, because Chris Leak was the 174 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: starting quarterback for Florida back then, like Tibo would come 175 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: in at the goal line and do those jump passes. 176 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: But yeah, Trevor, that would that would firmly cement him. 177 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: I would think, when you win too national titles? What else? Okay, 178 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,719 Speaker 1: if you're if you're Trevor Lawrence, you lose that mustache immediately. Yes, 179 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:12,719 Speaker 1: so you were anti mustache. Yeah, yeah, I think you 180 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 1: got a workshop it, but you can't work shop it. 181 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,079 Speaker 1: Now you work shop it like maybe in late January, 182 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: you just nail that. You got to find a window 183 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: of time where you're not on camera to work that 184 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: thing out. Because he doesn't have a mustache. He is 185 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: working on a mustache. He doesn't possess one. Yeah, I 186 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: remember I colored my hair, had somebody do it for me, 187 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 1: and then you're trying to work shop it. So I'm 188 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: on Sports Center and next thing I know, I'm getting 189 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: text messages after the show that says d ye. That's 190 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: all it says. A couple of my friends went d 191 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: y E. I went like a d y e? Patrick, Yeah, 192 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: dying Patrick? Yeah, you no good because you know TV. 193 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: You can't hide anything on TV anymore. These TVs are 194 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 1: so good, these cameras are so good. And it was 195 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: just cringeworthy instead of work shopping it a little bit. 196 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: Uh but yeah, the mustache is only like you have 197 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,679 Speaker 1: to look for it, which makes it even worse that 198 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: you have to look for it to find it, and 199 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: then when you do, you go, oh no, no, you 200 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: can't do that. And I don't think and nobody had 201 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,079 Speaker 1: fun last night on that Heisman show, like it really somber. Now. 202 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: I know it's it's you know by remoted zoom, but 203 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: everybody was just like very serious about winning the Heisman Trophy. 204 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: I was trying to you know, thank god Ronaldi wasn't 205 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: there to do a story because I would have brought 206 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: you know, everybody down even further and I probably would 207 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: add a tear jerker there. But I kept thinking, is 208 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 1: anybody gonna have is there any levity here? Anybody having 209 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: some fun here? Yeah? See, but like the Heisman ceremony 210 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: isn't actually fun even on a normal year. It's not 211 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: like like these crowds are going crazy and like, yeah, 212 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: this is awesome, let you know, and then this year 213 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 1: it's just kind of off. It's kind of always that, 214 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,839 Speaker 1: like more like you're going to church, then you're going 215 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: to a sporting event. Well, when you have Microsier, he's 216 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: always fun, I will say, the former Nebraska running back, 217 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: he can add some fun to it. But when they're 218 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: all in person, there's there's more of a vibe of 219 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: celebratory yeah than like Joe Burrow. It was an emotional 220 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: moment last year when he won, uh talking about you know, 221 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,839 Speaker 1: coacho taking a chance on him. But yeah, I'm watching 222 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 1: last night and mom and dad and U candidate didn't 223 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: seem like they were having a great time there. Yeah, 224 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 1: pol I worked a bunch of Hismans back in the 225 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 1: Mothership days and they used to have an open bar 226 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,199 Speaker 1: just outside the presenting room. This is around O two 227 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: to two thou ten. There was a small, little open 228 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 1: bar because it's a real small ceremony. It's basically family friends, 229 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: school people and the former Heisman winners are all invited 230 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: and they get a paid trip four days in New 231 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: York and ceter. Well, all the old Heisman winners used 232 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,839 Speaker 1: to get, you know, looped up, and then they about 233 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 1: twenty and ten, two thousand eleven, they canceled open bargains. 234 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 1: People aren't barking on the stage, go whoop you promoting 235 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: their schools. There's no word on Jared Goff yet you would, 236 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: I guess call the Rams head coach Sean mcveague because hey, 237 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: how about that Todd that's workable, that's workable, workable, Oh 238 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 1: my god, workable. Sean mcvegha on his choir, i'de fine, 239 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: that's good, Jean mcveig. Wow, here is Sean McVeigh on 240 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: who his quarterback is going to be against Seattle if 241 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 1: he and Wolford are equally healthy by some definition you're creating, 242 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: You're creating a hypothetical that doesn't exist right now, Kevin. 243 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: I mean, he just had thumb surgery, so they're not 244 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: going to be equally healthy. So see, we'll see what 245 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: We'll see what that looks like. We're gonna take it 246 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,559 Speaker 1: at a time, and you know, just for your guys edification, 247 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna make an announce and you know on 248 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 1: who's starting and who's not. So I'm not going to 249 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,559 Speaker 1: answer that question this week. Yeah, and he doesn't have to, 250 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: and I don't blame him. I wouldn't either, But I 251 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 1: do think Wolford probably gives you a better chance against 252 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: the pass rush with Seattle because they have greatly improved 253 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: that and we saw that he does have a little 254 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: bit of get up there. He has a little bit 255 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: of escapability there. You're going to play in Seattle. You 256 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: don't have the twelfth man to factor in here. But 257 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: I think if Jared Goff is healthy, Jared Goff is playing. 258 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: But I don't know if he's going to be one 259 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: hundred percent. If you've ever broken a bone. He broke 260 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: his thumb on your passing hand, and I don't think 261 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 1: he'll be a hundred percent. But if I'm going up 262 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: against that Seattle defense and I expect Jamal Adams to 263 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: play their safety, Dunlap has been a great fine for them. 264 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: This is a different Seattle defense, and I might need 265 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: somebody who who can extend to play a little bit. 266 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: And Golf has not had a good year, but you know, 267 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: this is one of those if you say to Sean McVay, 268 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 1: who do you want to play, he has to say, 269 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 1: I want Jared Golf to play. But who do you 270 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: need to play? You know, Wolford might give you a 271 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: little better chance, as strange as that may sound, just 272 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 1: because of the team you're playing and playing them, but 273 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 1: he hasn't played, you know, on the road at big 274 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: time game here, So that's where you have to rely 275 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: on your defense, where you just say, we got to 276 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 1: shut him down. You know, we may only score seventeen points, 277 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: but that might be enough to win. Yeah. Paul John 278 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: Wolford's getting a week's worth of coverage in LA this week, 279 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: though he overachieved as a backup who nobody knew last 280 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 1: week and they have a week to write about it. 281 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: There's no word on the quarterback, so I wouldn't say 282 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: they're creating a quarterback situation there, but they're writing about 283 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: the possibility of it. Yes, mclen I was gonna ask 284 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: a pole question. Which of the playoff teams is more 285 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: sort of in a bad spot because of injuries the Rams, 286 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: the Washington football team because of the quarterback issue, or 287 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: Cleveland because of the head coach and jel Pitonia. Which 288 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 1: of the three teams is really in the toughest spot. Well, 289 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: I would say not having your head coach as as 290 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: good as Stefan Stefanski's. I think what he gave this 291 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 1: team is he has been the right voice for Baker 292 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: Mayfield and now you're going into the biggest game of 293 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: the year, the biggest game the franchise has had in 294 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 1: two decades, almost two decades. But he was such an 295 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: upgrade over Freddie Kitchens and Baker. It feels like is 296 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: a little more calm and letting the game come to him. 297 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 1: He's got a game plan, We're not trying to force anything. 298 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: I would think not having your head coach in the 299 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: role that he has played, because there are some head 300 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 1: coaches where like Rex Ryan. If Rex Ryan didn't coach 301 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: in a playoff game, I wouldn't go, boy, that's the 302 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 1: Jets have no chance because he was not an offensive 303 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: might had head coach. You know, the defense. That defense 304 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: was going to be good no matter what. But Stefanski, 305 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,440 Speaker 1: you were brought in. Part of the reason why you 306 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: brought in is basically to settle down Baker Mayfield, and 307 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: he's done a great job at that. Your offensive line 308 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: is your strength with your running game there, but I 309 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,880 Speaker 1: would I would say that that would be the case. 310 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 1: Washington is going to alternate quarterbacks here. Uh, you know 311 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 1: the Rams situation, it's going to be interesting to watch 312 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, McLeman, it's gonna be a tough game 313 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 1: for Cleveland anyway to beat Pittsburgh two weeks in a row. Yeah, 314 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh like you would think they'd be. You know, Pittsburg, 315 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's good against the run, and if you're losing an 316 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: all Pro offensive guard and you don't have depth at 317 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: that position on this team. They have a really good 318 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: offensive line, one of the top five in football. But 319 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 1: without that then you get into the communication part of 320 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: it on the offensive line, and then you're going into Pittsburgh. 321 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:02,920 Speaker 1: So yeah, Lousen Stefanski, that's sets. That's a big deal. 322 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,640 Speaker 1: The Ohio State Alabama game is still scheduled for Monday. 323 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 1: Ohio States still dealing with COVID, And there's a chance 324 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: that Jalen Waddle, the Alabama wide receiver who broke his 325 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 1: ankle earlier in the year, he's been cleared to practice 326 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,640 Speaker 1: and maybe he'll be able to play. I still don't know, 327 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 1: and we won't know how injured or what did Justin 328 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,880 Speaker 1: Fields injure when he was tackled in that game against Clemson. 329 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:35,639 Speaker 1: Because I'm gonna guess something is still lingering. There is 330 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 1: there hip, kidney, ribs, something else, ripsney, all the above, 331 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: all the above with him, something's gotta be damaged. I 332 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 1: would think on Justin Fields something. I'm guessing. All right, 333 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 1: we'll take a break. We'll get to a poll question. 334 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 1: Got a couple of stats of the day. We've got 335 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 1: a play of the day coming up. Albert the senior 336 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 1: NFL reporter for the MMQB. He's always great when he 337 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: comes on with information and I don't know if it 338 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 1: was tongue in cheek or not. Mclovin. But you know 339 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,959 Speaker 1: Albert Brier's saying this before the game that you know. 340 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,880 Speaker 1: So what happened was the Eagles had all these healthy 341 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 1: inactives and he put a big picture of devote Smith 342 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 1: and like emoji, you're more of an emoji guy, but 343 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 1: it was like an emoji question mark because they said 344 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: devote Smith move. That's before they pulled Hurts. Yeah I know, yeah, 345 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 1: I know, all right, so we'll talk to him coming up. Also, 346 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: you know the coaching carousel with some of these moves. 347 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: You're hearing everybody is being interviewed now, and the reason 348 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: is that you don't have to go to the city. 349 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,439 Speaker 1: You just zoom, and therefore it's so easy if you go, 350 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,640 Speaker 1: we want to interview the Chargers want to interview Jason Garrett. Okay, 351 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:53,479 Speaker 1: he doesn't have to get on a plane to go 352 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,640 Speaker 1: out to Los Angeles. You just zoom. And that's why 353 00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 1: you're hearing so many people being interviewed because now it's 354 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: convenient for everybody.

And we look, my job is too. 385 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,719 Speaker 1: If I can get information to provide it for this audience, 386 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: then I do. If I don't know the answer or 387 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: I need a clarification, then we reach out no matter 388 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,919 Speaker 1: who it is. And so I said to Todd, just 389 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 1: reach out to the NFL and tell me, is there 390 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: any way that Kevin Stefanski, the Brown's head coach, can 391 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 1: be involved in this weekend's game. That's all. That's all 392 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: we wanted to know. I don't think we were poking 393 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: any bears there or anything. It seems like a good 394 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,119 Speaker 1: question to ask, and we did this when Nick Saban 395 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 1: was out. We just wanted to ask a question. So 396 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:32,160 Speaker 1: the response was from the NFL. He's coaching now. It's 397 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 1: only once the game starts that he cannot participate. It's 398 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: a longstanding policy that has nothing to do with COVID. 399 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 1: Why didn't you ask this question about Darryl bebl and 400 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: the Lions a couple of weeks ago. The game is 401 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,120 Speaker 1: played and coached by people at the stadium, he will 402 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 1: be able to talk to the coaching staff and players 403 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 1: in the locker room virtually until they leave for kickoff. 404 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 1: There can be no communication of any kind with the 405 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,439 Speaker 1: team once the game starts through its conclusion. Well, the 406 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: reason why we didn't ask a couple of weeks ago 407 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: is nobody cares about Darryl Bevil and the Lions. It's 408 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: not a playoff game. And what we're trying to do 409 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,360 Speaker 1: is ask that's all we want. I know, it's been 410 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 1: a long season for the NFL. It's bringing Albert Frere, 411 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: see your senior NFL reporter. I'm a little salty today here, Albert, 412 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: So thanks for joining us here. But you've been yelled 413 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: at before by the NFL, so you know, I'm in 414 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 1: good couple. You know what that that question actually came 415 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: up because there was that whole idea, like you know, 416 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 1: we were all asking these sorts of questions in the summer, 417 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 1: and I remember one of the questions I had was, well, 418 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 1: you know, with the stadium empty, if like to say, 419 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: your offensive coordinator got it, wouldn't you be able to 420 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 1: just put him up in a sweep because nobody else 421 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: is up there right like, so, wouldn't you just be 422 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:51,640 Speaker 1: able to put him in a sweep, put a headset 423 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 1: on him, and have him call plays from there? And 424 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 1: they said no to that. So I don't know if 425 00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: they think it's some sort of slippery slope or whatever, 426 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 1: but that was the policy that they sort of gave 427 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: everybody back in August and September, And I think it 428 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: relates to the whole thing, you know, like how it's 429 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,159 Speaker 1: not allowed to have cell phones on the sideline and 430 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,160 Speaker 1: everything else. I think it relates to that they don't 431 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 1: want the slippery slope. But I think what they'd probably 432 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 1: tell you is we can't just change the rules in January. 433 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,640 Speaker 1: And that's probably where the bevil crack came from. I'm 434 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 1: guessing we can't just change the rules in January if 435 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: we've been doing it a certain way for four months. Yeah, 436 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,160 Speaker 1: I was just curious of the rule itself. I wasn't saying, well, 437 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: you got to change the rule it's the playoffs, because 438 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I certainly understand this, but I you know, 439 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: it could only happen to the Cleveland Browns, right, They 440 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 1: finally make the playoffs and then this happens, and I 441 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: don't what kind of impact do you think this will 442 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: have on them? Where you haven't an all Pro offensive 443 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,120 Speaker 1: guard and their offensive line has been their strength this year, 444 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,159 Speaker 1: and then you lose to Fansky, who's been wonderful with 445 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield this year. I think it's I mean, I 446 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 1: think you have a big impact. He's a play caller too. Yeah, 447 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 1: that's the other part of it. So now, how you 448 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 1: know Alex van Pelt, who has been, you know, a 449 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: coach in the league for a long time. He got 450 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: to the coordinator level in Green Bay, so you know, 451 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,400 Speaker 1: it's not like he's new to this, but he hasn't 452 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 1: been a full time play caller. So that's going to 453 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: be an adjustment. You know, that's an adjustment for your 454 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:20,879 Speaker 1: quarterback too. It's it's definitely. I think it definitely has 455 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,360 Speaker 1: an impact on what you're doing because it stretches everybody thin, 456 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,640 Speaker 1: you know, So if you're taking away from what Alex 457 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 1: van Pelt would normally be doing. He's got to delegate 458 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 1: that to somebody else. How does it affect your defense 459 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,159 Speaker 1: because nobody's you know, you don't have the same person 460 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: overseeing the whole game and game management. What sort of 461 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 1: effect does it have on your special teams, you know, 462 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 1: with Mike Preever coming over and being the interim coach. 463 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 1: So it's just there are all of these different kind 464 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: of pieces that one fits into the other, I fits 465 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 1: into the other, and you're I think these staffs are 466 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 1: so tightly wound in the way game day operation works. 467 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: If you take the biggest piece out, you have to 468 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 1: think it would have some sort of effect. This just 469 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 1: jin the Dolphins have announced that Chin Gaily has designed 470 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 1: as offensive coordinator. I wonder about, you know, his play 471 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: calling or like Tua trying to adhere to Chan Gailey, 472 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,160 Speaker 1: or was Chan Gailey trying to adhere to to Tuah? 473 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: You know, it felt like the play calling was a 474 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 1: little bit different for two and I don't know if 475 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,639 Speaker 1: that's just that was Chan Gailey's philosophy here, you know, 476 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: having talked to some coaches who you know, went against 477 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: them over the last few weeks, the sense I got 478 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,479 Speaker 1: was there are questions why they weren't going down field 479 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: more and that they had been more aggressive with Ryan 480 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick in there, And that was something I guess that 481 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,879 Speaker 1: was noticeable if you went back and you looked like, okay, 482 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:41,439 Speaker 1: like what does it look like when twas in the 483 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,120 Speaker 1: game when they pulled ta out? What does it look 484 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: like with Fitzpatrick in there? And so, you know, I 485 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 1: think the main question a lot of other teams at 486 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,719 Speaker 1: least had was is this a reflection on the coach's 487 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: confidence into A or B? Is it a reflection in 488 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 1: his physical ability? And that's I think one of the 489 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 1: big questions going forward with him. And I don't know 490 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,399 Speaker 1: about you, Dan, but you know, and I got this, 491 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 1: And this isn't just coming from me, This is from 492 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,359 Speaker 1: you know, people I talked to are paid to evaluate this. 493 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: Stuff just sort of looks average physically, you know, like 494 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,159 Speaker 1: I don't know that, like you you look at him 495 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 1: go out there? Is there anything elite? Does anything look 496 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,679 Speaker 1: elite about the way that he plays? Now? His elite 497 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 1: traits in college were instincts, accuracy, feel for the game, 498 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: and maybe you know, it's just tough to show those 499 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 1: as a rookie. But I think that there's reason to 500 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 1: look at it and say, God, like they could have 501 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 1: had Justin Herbert there, and now they've got the third 502 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 1: pick in the draft, and because Brian Floors and Chris 503 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 1: Queer have done such a good job, Like, I think 504 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 1: you have to consider it. And I've talked to other 505 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 1: people who again get paid to evaluate this stuff, who said, like, 506 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: you got to go in with a third pick, acting 507 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:46,959 Speaker 1: as if you don't have a quarterback, Like you have 508 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 1: to look at those guys and evaluate them and put 509 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,200 Speaker 1: them through the ringer Justin Field, Zach Wilson, whoever else 510 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: you might consider there. You have to at least take 511 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,399 Speaker 1: a look at those guys now and compare them against 512 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,040 Speaker 1: Tuah And so the Chan Gailey things sort of I 513 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 1: think fits into the bigger mosaic of where they are 514 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:04,400 Speaker 1: with to a tog of a lower And I think 515 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,159 Speaker 1: some of the questions you have with and not so 516 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 1: much like you know, what are he accomplished in college 517 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 1: or who he was coming out, but whether physically he's 518 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,159 Speaker 1: got the ability to be an elite player at the 519 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 1: NFL level. Yeah, he looks like he's he's putting everything 520 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 1: in his body into these throws down the field. There's 521 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 1: nothing that is natural, fluid where he just has a 522 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:28,880 Speaker 1: great arm. I talked to a source last night about 523 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 1: two in particular, because I said, I'm looking and I 524 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: and there was a replay of a game on and 525 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: he just had a little dump off passes. Yeah, like 526 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 1: that was the game plan. There was nothing that was 527 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 1: stretching the field where he had that luxury with Alabama 528 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 1: great offensive line, great running back and great coach and 529 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 1: great wide receivers there And that's where I don't know, 530 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 1: And the source said he lacks the danger, the danger 531 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 1: for the defense to go, oh, we don't know what 532 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 1: to expect. But my source also said, look, if you 533 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: if Justin Herbert didn't have this year, would we be 534 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: looking at two a differently? Like we're comparing the two 535 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: and should we be comparing the two? Yeah? Because I 536 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 1: mean that's like look like And I think there's a 537 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 1: larger discussion to be had here too. There are a 538 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 1: lot of guys who've come out of college the last 539 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 1: few years that had that like that rap that they're 540 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 1: raw right, like the big physical kid, and I think 541 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: forever I don't know about you, but I feel like 542 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: We've all been sort of trained to be leery of 543 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 1: those players, right, like that is this going to be 544 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: JaMarcus Russell? You know, It's just we have that kind 545 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 1: of idea in our head of what the big raw 546 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: athlete is. You know what, Dan, it's worked out of 547 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: late Josh Malomes, had Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, now justin Herbert, 548 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 1: these guys who had that rap on them, it's actually 549 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 1: working out, you know. And the guys who may have 550 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: a little less physically Baker Mayfield another example of it. 551 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 1: I think I've a struggled to make the transition a 552 00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: little bit more. It's an interesting dynamic in the fields, 553 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 1: like a shift to me. And I think that the 554 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: Dolphins have to consider that, you know again, like I 555 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 1: really believe like what Brian Flores and Chris Greer are doing, 556 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 1: Like it's amazing what they've done in two years. And 557 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: I think they have to take into an account you're 558 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 1: not going to be drafting that high again, and so 559 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 1: you have to make sure that you are locked in 560 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 1: on tah because there's nothing more important than getting that right. 561 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 1: And you know, say they come out of this and 562 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 1: it's like okay, like we've decided on Tah and then 563 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 1: you know you're getting the ten wins year after a year, 564 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 1: but you don't have that quarterback who put you over 565 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 1: the top. How are you going to feel about having 566 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 1: taken like a Jamar Chase or a Micah Parsons or 567 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 1: a Pinay Soul or whoever it is over Justin Fields 568 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 1: or Zach Wilson. That's why I think you have to 569 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 1: if you're the Dolphins, look at those kids versus two 570 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 1: a like, actually put them up on the board and say, Okay, 571 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 1: what does this guy look like? What does this guy 572 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 1: look like as an NFL player versus what does TA 573 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 1: look like as an NFL player? He's Albert Brewer, the 574 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: senior NFL reporter the MMQB and NBC Sports in Boston. 575 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 1: I don't know if it was tongue in cheek, but 576 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 1: Mcluban brought this up and said, you know, we should 577 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 1: have Albert brier On because prior to the game, you 578 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 1: sort of made reference to, hey, if the Eagles lose 579 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 1: this game, they go from ninth in the draft to 580 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 1: sixth in the draft, and you showed a picture of 581 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 1: Davante Smith. Are you being funny? No? I think that 582 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 1: there was put it this way. I think that the 583 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 1: decision on the way they handle that game was organizational. 584 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: I don't think it was Doug Peterson's alone. And I 585 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 1: think the awkwardness of it, the awkwardness of the way 586 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 1: that that happened, I think absolutely calls into question the 587 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,239 Speaker 1: way this was handled. It looks sloppy. And I think 588 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 1: you can make the argument too, Dan, this is easy, 589 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 1: an easy argument to make, right, like if that happens 590 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: in a one o'clock game, do we notice it? Maybe 591 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 1: not right, like the fact that it was on that 592 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 1: stage on Sunday night, the two hundred and fifty sixth 593 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 1: game of the year, and all of that played into it. 594 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 1: But you know, I think the handling of the seventeenth game, 595 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 1: that's the handling of Week seventeen for the Eagles, was 596 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 1: an organizational decision, and Doug Peterson's execution of it, I think, 597 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 1: you know, absolutely calls into question what their motivation was, 598 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 1: especially because this is a three point game. Again, if 599 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 1: Washington's leading by fourteen points there, we're not talking about this, right. 600 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: It was a close game. Jason Kelsey had said what 601 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 1: he said last week, and I do think the front 602 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 1: office is cognizant of where they're picking and what could 603 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,239 Speaker 1: be on the line. Again, three draft slots, and you know, 604 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 1: you can kind of wave your hand at that'd say 605 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 1: it's not a big deal. Well, what if they've decided 606 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 1: internally And I don't know this, but what if they've 607 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: decided internally we might be moving on from Carson Wentz. 608 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 1: We want to look at the quarterbacks. That could be huge, 609 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 1: right Like now, all of a sudden, if you're at six, 610 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 1: not only could you take a quarterback there now you're 611 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 1: arranged to go up and get one maybe at two 612 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,960 Speaker 1: if the Jets decide they're moving that pick. So there's 613 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 1: a lot of more like things where having a six 614 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 1: pick would give you flexibility. And I do think again, organizationally, 615 00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 1: there was a decision made on how they were going 616 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 1: to handle that game. Wow, Well, then I wonder if 617 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,960 Speaker 1: Howie Roseman, who's the GM, will step up. And because 618 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 1: Doug Peterson looks awkward at these press conferences when he's 619 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 1: asked about this, and you know, even when he was saying, 620 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 1: like who made this decision? And he fumbled around, he 621 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 1: didn't know how to answer it. So I think that 622 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 1: there's credibility to what you're saying that maybe it was 623 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 1: out of his hands. It just didn't make sense. And 624 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 1: you're right. I've said, you know, after the fact, if 625 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 1: it's a standalone game, everybody has an opinion. Everybody and 626 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 1: if you want to start in Nate Sudfeld starting, nobody 627 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:42,200 Speaker 1: nobody cares. But you go, hey, we're down three. This 628 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:46,080 Speaker 1: isn't tebow time. I mean, yeah, we're making it seem like, uh, 629 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 1: you know, I've waited as long as I could. We're 630 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 1: bringing in Ate Sudfeld and he's gonna lead us to 631 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 1: the promised Lamb. Let me get a couple of things here. 632 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 1: The Rams situation. When are they going to find out 633 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,280 Speaker 1: who their quarter back? Just maybe Sean McVay know who 634 00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 1: his quarterback is. I think Sean McVay knows who quarterback is. 635 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,560 Speaker 1: I mean I I talked to I talked to John 636 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:11,479 Speaker 1: Wolford after the game UM on Sunday, and he said 637 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,719 Speaker 1: to me that, like he really knew last week, like 638 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 1: Monday or Tuesday, and I don't think it got out 639 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,000 Speaker 1: till much later in the week, but like they like 640 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:21,920 Speaker 1: he had been given a heads up, and it's like, 641 00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 1: maybe Jared can go, but we're gonna prepare for you 642 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 1: to start, and so I think it's the same sort 643 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 1: of situation like I think. I think if this was 644 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,400 Speaker 1: a regular season game, I don't think Jared Goff would play. Obviously, 645 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 1: the playoffs put put a put a you know, different 646 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:40,279 Speaker 1: layer of of intrigue on all of this. My guests 647 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,279 Speaker 1: would be they're gonna get John Wolford ready to be 648 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,440 Speaker 1: the starter with the hope that maybe Jared Goff can go. 649 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,359 Speaker 1: But again, the way it worked last week, I like 650 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 1: John Wolford knew really early on like this that that 651 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:52,880 Speaker 1: that this was going to be his show. And it 652 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,799 Speaker 1: wouldn't surprise me at all if the Rams have a 653 00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 1: very very strong idea of which way this is going, 654 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,320 Speaker 1: and that John Wolford and Jared off have an idea 655 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,799 Speaker 1: too because they're the ones who have to prepare for it. 656 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 1: And then Washington, they're going to older how do you 657 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 1: ultimate quarterbacks in the game against Tampa. So I think 658 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:11,400 Speaker 1: more than I think, more than anything I saw what 659 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 1: Ron said, I think this is gonna be about there's 660 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 1: gonna be a feel thing for them what happened in 661 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 1: that game. So they get off to the ten nothing lead, 662 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:22,400 Speaker 1: and my understanding is like Alex got sore and it 663 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,640 Speaker 1: locked up on him a little bit like that the 664 00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 1: calf did, and it affected his mobility, it affected their 665 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 1: play calling, and so I think they're gonna go into 666 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,879 Speaker 1: this with the understanding at least like, Alex, we love 667 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 1: what you've done. If you can do it, we're gonna 668 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,400 Speaker 1: give you the best shot to do it, but we 669 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,920 Speaker 1: have to do what's best for the team. And so 670 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,080 Speaker 1: you know, they have more confidence in Taylor Heineke than 671 00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people realize. Their offensive coordinator, 672 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,799 Speaker 1: Scott Turner had Heineke both in Minnesota and Carolina, so 673 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:55,120 Speaker 1: there's a lot of background there. So you know, I 674 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,440 Speaker 1: think this is gonna be a feel thing, and I 675 00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 1: think they under they understand the nature of the injury 676 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,799 Speaker 1: is such where Alex like doesn't really know right now 677 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:05,359 Speaker 1: how it's going to feel on Sunday. In fact, if 678 00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,840 Speaker 1: you want to go back to week sixteen, and you 679 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,719 Speaker 1: know that whole thing with Haskins and everything else, Like 680 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,720 Speaker 1: on Friday, Alex thought he was gonna play. They worked 681 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 1: him out on Saturday, it like it got sore and 682 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 1: they made the decision. Okay, Like, it doesn't look like 683 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 1: he's gonna be able to play. We've got to make 684 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:23,880 Speaker 1: the switch now and we'll see if you can go 685 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,759 Speaker 1: on Sunday morning. But they expected to go forward with 686 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,840 Speaker 1: Haskins at that point. I think it's gonna be the 687 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,760 Speaker 1: same sort of thing this week, where like he feels 688 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,479 Speaker 1: better than he did two weeks ago, probably will feel 689 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,359 Speaker 1: better than he felt last week. But they at least 690 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,359 Speaker 1: have to give themselves the out where if it if 691 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 1: it causes him some problems again over the weekend, I 692 00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,240 Speaker 1: think they play Saturday night right, like, if it causes 693 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,320 Speaker 1: him a problem on if he causes him a problem Saturday, 694 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 1: where's going to affect their play calling, the way they 695 00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:49,480 Speaker 1: run their offense, they at least have the second guy 696 00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,640 Speaker 1: ready to go. Great stuff, Albert, We appreciate you joining 697 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,080 Speaker 1: us is always thank you, awesome, thanks to enjoy the 698 00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:58,080 Speaker 1: games weekend.

As Zach put it, he said 706 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 1: that it reminded him of another moment actually in show history, 707 00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:31,640 Speaker 1: where a seemingly innocent person, don't even do this to me, 708 00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,520 Speaker 1: don't even let me take a break. No, no, no, 709 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:39,360 Speaker 1: I can know, let me take a break. I have 710 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,319 Speaker 1: to gear up for this.

We sent a 731 00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,279 Speaker 1: note to the NFL. We just wanted to know of 732 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,400 Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski. How involved could he be on Sunday with 733 00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:14,880 Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns with the Pittsburgh Steelers. They sent a 734 00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:19,279 Speaker 1: note back. Part of the paragraph how to do with 735 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,800 Speaker 1: why didn't we ask about Daryl Bebel and the Lions 736 00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:26,080 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago? And I thought, well, nobody 737 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 1: cares about the Lions and it wasn't a playoff game 738 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,560 Speaker 1: attached to it, But all right, we got an answer, 739 00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,320 Speaker 1: and that's what I wanted to do. And h Seton 740 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,960 Speaker 1: said that we had one of our listeners who tweeted 741 00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:41,160 Speaker 1: out that kind of reminded him of maybe another incident 742 00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:48,480 Speaker 1: on this show. I think the shot could really wait. Wait, Jake, 743 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:53,160 Speaker 1: don't overreact like this You're You're better than that, right, 744 00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,920 Speaker 1: I know I'm kidding. Oh no, no, Jake, I'm kidding 745 00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:02,960 Speaker 1: with you. Oh okay, you know I love you right? Mm. 746 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:10,080 Speaker 1: Jake is now nineteen. Yeah, I think he's around nineteen. 747 00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:13,759 Speaker 1: He's a freshman at Syracuse. So in that scenario, Jake 748 00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:19,440 Speaker 1: is you yes, and the NFL is you yeah? Right, 749 00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:24,840 Speaker 1: just a different situations. Yes, yes, verbal spanking there. But 750 00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,879 Speaker 1: I was just joking with little Jake. I love after 751 00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,839 Speaker 1: you chastise him, his voice gets almost all the ways. 752 00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:37,120 Speaker 1: I was just trying to sorry. I was Oh, the 753 00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:42,640 Speaker 1: oracle he would call in all yeah, God, he's probably 754 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:46,319 Speaker 1: not like the assistant GM of the Clippers. No, he 755 00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:50,960 Speaker 1: goes to Syracuse. He's a freshman at Syracuse. Oh yeah. 756 00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,440 Speaker 1: We saw him in a meet and greet in uh, 757 00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:58,040 Speaker 1: Santa Monica a couple of years ago, and he came 758 00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:02,200 Speaker 1: out and he's about six one or six two, and 759 00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:06,439 Speaker 1: he goes hey, mister Patrick, and I turned around and go, hey, 760 00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:10,200 Speaker 1: how are he goes Jake in LA. I go v 761 00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:16,279 Speaker 1: Jake and LA. Yes, he's still in therapy though for 762 00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,959 Speaker 1: me yelling at him, But that's only been ten years. 763 00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:23,000 Speaker 1: You know, I love you, right, yeah, I know, ye know. 764 00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:27,600 Speaker 1: So the Dolphins have dropped chan Gaily as their offensive 765 00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:32,920 Speaker 1: coordinator and I wonder how that changes the play calling 766 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,719 Speaker 1: for two a tonga Ilah. I thought Albert Brewer it 767 00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:38,040 Speaker 1: was a great appearance by h because he is talking 768 00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:41,440 Speaker 1: about there's more to that decision with the Eagles to 769 00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:45,120 Speaker 1: pull you know, Jalen Hurts and put in Nate Sudfote, 770 00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:48,600 Speaker 1: and maybe it came from up top or the general manager, 771 00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:52,280 Speaker 1: Howary Roseman, but also saying that if you're the Dolphins 772 00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,600 Speaker 1: and you have the third pick overall because of the 773 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:58,120 Speaker 1: Texans ineptitude, you have to seriously look at all of 774 00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:03,040 Speaker 1: these quarterbacks here and the Eagles going from nine to six, 775 00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:07,919 Speaker 1: they have to seriously look at the quarterbacking situation if 776 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,839 Speaker 1: they decide they're able to trade Carson Wentz. I mean, 777 00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:16,000 Speaker 1: I don't think you, as I said yesterday, every year 778 00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,799 Speaker 1: there's a team where you go, wow, I didn't think 779 00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:23,920 Speaker 1: they'd be interested in a quarterback or that quarterback. It's 780 00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,480 Speaker 1: because most of these teams, if they're smart, don't let 781 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:29,239 Speaker 1: you know what they're doing. You know, the Chiefs and 782 00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:31,880 Speaker 1: what they did having Alex Smith and they got Patrick 783 00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:35,120 Speaker 1: Mahomes And the only reason why I saw it coming 784 00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:39,920 Speaker 1: was my source said, you better get Mahomes on. He's 785 00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,000 Speaker 1: the one climbing up the draft board. Now he didn't 786 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,799 Speaker 1: say Kansas City, or I would have told you that. 787 00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,840 Speaker 1: And my source said, he's the one climbing up the 788 00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:52,879 Speaker 1: draft board. He's the hot guy. And it turned out 789 00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:58,319 Speaker 1: that was the case. But everybody focus their attention on 790 00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:03,480 Speaker 1: Mitchell Trubisky or everybody passing up onto Shaun Watson. And meanwhile, 791 00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:10,120 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, we'll check in with the Cleveland Browns. Is 792 00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:12,080 Speaker 1: there a light at the end of the tunnel or 793 00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:16,680 Speaker 1: is that just an oncoming train?
