Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: Hope you got a great weekend.
Speaker 3: Everybody gangsol here ready to discuss everything that happened over
Speaker 3: the weekend. We got a game coming up tonight the
Speaker 3: Texans in Pittsburgh. Could this be Mike Tomlin's last game
Speaker 3: as the Steeler head coach? Could it be Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 3: last game in the NFL? Ross Tucker, our good buddy,
Speaker 3: will join us. We'll discuss all of this eight seven
Speaker 3: seven three DP shows we always do every Monday. You
Speaker 3: give us your best and worst of the weekend. What
Speaker 3: you saw that you liked, you didn't like. Operator Tyler
Speaker 3: sitting by to take your phone call.
Speaker 2: Good morning.
Speaker 3: If you're watching on Peacock, Thank you for downloading the app.
Speaker 3: Stat of the Day is always brought to you by
Speaker 3: Beadini America, the official trading cards of the program. In
Speaker 3: this first down, we're brought to you by tire rack
Speaker 3: dot Com Prover forty years. They've been helping you find
Speaker 3: the right tires for how and what and where you drive,
Speaker 3: ship fast and free back by free road hazard protection,
Speaker 3: convenient instaly options like mobile tire installation. Tyrack dot Com
Speaker 3: the way tire buying should be, have a poll question,
Speaker 3: play of the day, stat of the day, all of
Speaker 3: that forthcoming. Let me start with the Niners in the Eagles,
Speaker 3: because I thought Philadelphia maybe can flip a switch and
Speaker 3: make a run. They still have the talent, might be
Speaker 3: the most balanced team in the playoffs. And then all
Speaker 3: of a sudden, I kept watching, and I kept waiting
Speaker 3: and then waiting, and the Niners didn't go away, and
Speaker 3: I said that this might be Kyle Shanahan's best coaching
Speaker 3: job because they're depleted. You know, when Kyle used check
Speaker 3: is your go to wide receiver, boy, that tells you
Speaker 3: a whole lot about your weapons. You lose Kittle, there's
Speaker 3: no Brandon Ayyuk, no Ricky Piersoll. The defense is banged up.
Speaker 3: And this was about rock Perty making plays in tough conditions,
Speaker 3: Krista McCaffery still proving that how do you need me
Speaker 3: to get this done? I'll get it done somehow. And
Speaker 3: you know, I use the expression or term or phrase
Speaker 3: game manager, and it's not a negative because the great
Speaker 3: quarterbacks manage a game like what do I need to do?
Speaker 3: When do I need to do it? Tom Brady was
Speaker 3: a game manager. So the greatest player in NFL history,
Speaker 3: the most decorated, was a game manager. It's a compliment
Speaker 3: because you know how to It's like Greg Maddick's pitching.
Speaker 3: He knew how to manage a game when he was pitching.
Speaker 3: You know a lot of great players, a lot of
Speaker 3: great pitchers do this, a lot of great quarterbacks do this.
Speaker 3: And I watched rock Perty. He did what he needed
Speaker 3: to do when he needed to do it. It's not
Speaker 3: always pretty, but I don't care. It's playoff football. I
Speaker 3: need a win, that's it. Just ask the Green Bay
Speaker 3: Packers you need a win, you know, just ask Josh
Speaker 3: Allen doing what he did or Matthew Stafford doing what
Speaker 3: he did. It's managing the moment. And that's what playoff
Speaker 3: football is all about. And rock Perty, you know, you're
Speaker 3: trying to live up to a two hundred and sixty
Speaker 3: five million dollar contract and he's not paid for box
Speaker 3: score bravado. It's you got to make, you know, something memorable.
Speaker 3: You got to make something happen when you lose Kittle,
Speaker 3: you know, kind of the heart and soul of this
Speaker 3: team out with an achilles injury and somehow you win
Speaker 3: on the road. In Philadelphia. Now did Philadelphia contribute to this?
Speaker 3: Absolutely kind of mind boggling. Where Saquon looks like he's
Speaker 3: going to rush for two hundred yards and then all
Speaker 3: of a sudden he's not doing much After that got
Speaker 3: banged up. AJ Brown got pick up a white courtesy phone.
Speaker 3: You'll be on a different team next year. You'll get
Speaker 3: your wish. You can play someplace else. I don't know
Speaker 3: if Nick Siriani's on the hot seat. I will say
Speaker 3: if he's not on the hot seat now, he'll be
Speaker 3: on the hot seat next year. Jalen Hurts is not
Speaker 3: a guy you say let's beat them through the air.
Speaker 3: He's just not and not running that much. That was
Speaker 3: kind of eye opening there that they have the talent,
Speaker 3: but it felt like the Niners had an understand It's
Speaker 3: almost like they lost everybody but those that they have
Speaker 3: collectively won a game, whereas the Eagles have all of
Speaker 3: this talent, but it didn't feel collected. Give credit to
Speaker 3: the forty nine ers amazing. I kept saying, if you
Speaker 3: leave them in this game, if you let them stay,
Speaker 3: they'll win this game. I trust Kyle Shanahan over Nick Sirianni.
Speaker 3: If it's going to come down to a drive, a play,
Speaker 3: a call, a moment. I love Jalen Hurts in the playoffs,
Speaker 3: but I can't have Jalen Hurts be the hey just
Speaker 3: beat him through the air, because that's not who he is.
Speaker 3: I'm looking at the point spreads. The Niners are getting
Speaker 3: seven at Seattle. The Bills are going to be favored
Speaker 3: in Denver. They went from a slight favorite in Jacksonville
Speaker 3: to an under dog. But Josh Allen did it again
Speaker 3: in the Rams. The Rams are three and a half
Speaker 3: point favorites against the Bears. But you got the game
Speaker 3: coming up tonight the Texans and the Steelers. There was
Speaker 3: an interesting moment and Matthew Stafford and the Rams, they're
Speaker 3: heading down they need to go ahead touchdown. And I
Speaker 3: love what Davante Adams said that Matthew Stafford said to
Speaker 3: his team in the huddle before that game winning touchdown.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you said, let's go snatch these guys' hearts.
Speaker 4: That was pretty cold. That was pretty cold just to
Speaker 4: hear that. And I actually, like literally smiled in the
Speaker 4: moment because I thought that that was like one of
Speaker 4: the most gangster things you can say. In that moment, honestly,
Speaker 4: and to hear him say that and looking his on
Speaker 4: his face and then throw the touchdown and then to
Speaker 4: look on his face after that was just like MVP.
Speaker 2: Though, pretty good. Let's go rip their heart up, go
Speaker 2: snatch these guys cards.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And Carolina, if I know, having a loss in
Speaker 3: the playoffs, it's hard to say that was a good loss.
Speaker 3: But of all the teams that lost, if I'm Carolina,
Speaker 3: I feel pretty good today.
Speaker 2: You know, you went toe to toe.
Speaker 3: That's a team you beat before, and you had some
Speaker 3: moments you had the ball, last thirty seconds to go
Speaker 3: for incompletions. And look, I'm not the biggest rice young
Speaker 3: fan from the standpoint of a franchise quarterback, but maybe
Speaker 3: you get a team friendly deal. Maybe he's a thirty
Speaker 3: million dollars a year quarterback. You don't want to put
Speaker 3: him into that to a tongue of iola stratosphere and
Speaker 3: then you know, have to bail in a couple of years.
Speaker 3: But they played hard, they played with passion, played with emotion.
Speaker 3: Secondary was really good and you had him, you had
Speaker 3: a chance, you had the ball. So I would say
Speaker 3: now there, if I'm a Packer fan today, I don't
Speaker 3: feel good at all because I have no idea what's
Speaker 3: going on. You got the other teams that are going
Speaker 3: to be pilfering, you know, coaches on your staff, front
Speaker 3: office people, and you're not quite sure if you're going
Speaker 3: to have your head coach back Matt Lafleour.
Speaker 2: This is why it was so seismic.
Speaker 3: Then the Ravens decided to move on from John Harbaugh
Speaker 3: that had an impact on almost every team in the
Speaker 3: NFL in some way, shape or form, because you're going
Speaker 3: to interview him, or if you didn't get him, you're
Speaker 3: gonna get somebody else. Somebody else might be losing their
Speaker 3: coach because you're going to bring in John Harbaugh. I mean,
Speaker 3: it's connect the dots and there's a game of dominoes
Speaker 3: going on here and Harball, I guess he's entertaining the
Speaker 3: Cleveland Browns, but he's going to start interviewing this week.
Speaker 3: The Giants would be up top on the list. And
Speaker 3: is Green Bay going to be open for business? What's
Speaker 3: going to happen if Pittsburgh loses tonight? And that's another
Speaker 3: thing where we go, Man, that's the guy you want
Speaker 3: to put you over the top. I don't know if
Speaker 3: John Harbaugh puts you over the top in Green Bay.
Speaker 3: I don't know if Mike Tomlin. If they don't do
Speaker 3: that for their own team, then how do I expect
Speaker 3: them to. Well, that's the guy you need to put
Speaker 3: us over the top. And I'm not a cheerleader for
Speaker 3: Matt Lafleur. I like him, but it felt like there's
Speaker 3: a glass ceiling there Ben Johnson. Ben Johnson's not afraid
Speaker 3: to be a jerk or the bad guy or kind
Speaker 3: of push the envelope a little bit. And Matt Lafleur's
Speaker 3: a nice a nice guy, and maybe that's part of
Speaker 3: the problem. Now Ben Johnson has he gives zero you
Speaker 3: know what, He doesn't apologize for anything, and you know,
Speaker 3: give credit to him and the Bears when they were
Speaker 3: down at halftime, and I think Bears fans probably started,
Speaker 3: you know, up in the ante on drinking because it
Speaker 3: was like, this is going to be painful. It's twenty
Speaker 3: one to three. Let's ease the pain. And Caleb Williams
Speaker 3: giveth he taketh away. You talk about splash plays, you
Speaker 3: talk about those wow he might lead the league in
Speaker 3: wow plays in the fourth quarter. Then that includes Josh
Speaker 3: Allen because there are some throws that Caleb makes where
Speaker 3: you go. There are not many people in the world
Speaker 3: who can make those throws. It's him being consistent. And
Speaker 3: the analogy I used was, I want Caleb to be
Speaker 3: Jared Goff through three quarters. He can be Caleb Williams
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter. But the Bears, you know, they
Speaker 3: grabbed it, they had it, they wanted it, they took
Speaker 3: it and did not look back. Here is Ben Johnson,
Speaker 3: the Bears head coach, on the fourth quarter comeback.
Speaker 5: It's our identity here at this point, and some people
Speaker 5: say it's not sustainable. I don't know. You know, it's
Speaker 5: the takeaways. You know, that's who we are on defense,
Speaker 5: and you know on offense, it's explosive plays. That's kind
Speaker 5: of what we've done all year long and coming up
Speaker 5: in big moments and as a team, it's just just
Speaker 5: resiliency and knowing that late in the fourth quarter, that's
Speaker 5: that's really when we're our best as a football team.
Speaker 3: And Brandon McManus, mister McManus, that one hurt. He missed
Speaker 3: extra point two field goals. There Here is the Bears
Speaker 3: radio network, Caleb Williams to DJ Moore.
Speaker 6: Caleb and a gun swipped to his left snap back
Speaker 6: four man Russ Caleb with a double wolf drug down
Speaker 6: upside like DJ Mornes, are the.
Speaker 7: Five heads one touchdown touchdown Bears.
Speaker 8: They've taken the lead on the Packers. Put one thirty
Speaker 8: three to go twenty five yards the same connection week sixteen,
Speaker 8: he walk off win this connection HU three pointly.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 3: Yeah, those who stayed had a lot to cheer about
Speaker 3: there in the fourth quarter because that offense was pretty
Speaker 3: dry in the in the first half. But Green Bay
Speaker 3: losing again to the Bears. These double digit fourth quarter leads,
Speaker 3: that's rough. That's rough, all right, Seaton. Let's poll question
Speaker 3: for the first tour of the program. I got a
Speaker 3: couple options here for you. Winning team that should be
Speaker 3: worried worried? Yes, Rams, Bears, Bills, forty nine ers, Patriots
Speaker 3: forty nine ers should probably be worried. I don't think
Speaker 3: they're at a point where they worry like the Rams,
Speaker 3: Like if you're supposed to win. I got the Niners
Speaker 3: are seven point underdogs, so I don't know if they
Speaker 3: would worry. Uh Yeah, that one's tricky, Yeah.
Speaker 6: PAULI as a Bears fan, I'm perpetually worried. You go
Speaker 6: into the game completely worried and nervous because you know
Speaker 6: your team probably isn't going to do much in the
Speaker 6: second half and you got to steal it. So you
Speaker 6: go in worried no matter who you're facing.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I just don't see the Niners worried because I don't
Speaker 3: think they're supposed to be here.
Speaker 9: And they just took a pretty big hit with losing Kittle.
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, so their chances of advancing to you know,
Speaker 9: the next game after this one is took a massive hit.
Speaker 10: Yeah, Todd, I think the Rams have some angst because
Speaker 10: everyone was so high on them. They still are some
Speaker 10: that they're the best team, this guy's going to get
Speaker 10: the MVP, and now that they barely just got past
Speaker 10: the Panthers, that's you know, a little scary. Seeing what
Speaker 10: the Bears just did with that comeback against Green Bay.
Speaker 3: Well, I think if you look, and I'm just going
Speaker 3: off memory, most of your teams that win a Super
Speaker 3: Bowl have one of those games, one of those games
Speaker 3: where it kind of hangs in the balance, and that
Speaker 3: might be the game for the Rams, that that was
Speaker 3: a game they could have lost.
Speaker 9: You can probably say the same thing for the Bills too.
Speaker 2: Actually, yeah, might have been.
Speaker 9: I don't know if wake up calls the right.
Speaker 3: But that was that Jacksonville was they were favored by
Speaker 3: one and a half. Then Jacksonville was favored by one
Speaker 3: and a half. The Rams were favored by ten and
Speaker 3: a half. That's the difference. That that's where you're like nervous.
Speaker 3: Now you face the Bear and I have no idea
Speaker 3: you know what Bears team you're gonna face, at least
Speaker 3: in the first three quarters, or if you know, the
Speaker 3: Rams defensively look a little bit better than they did
Speaker 3: with Carolina. But man, give Carolina a lot of credit.
Speaker 3: Even Jacksonville. Jacksonville with the season that they had, and
Speaker 3: you had the ball and you had a chance, and
Speaker 3: I think you can come away from that saying, you know,
Speaker 3: we should have won that game. But man, they have
Speaker 3: Josh Allen. Here is the game winning touchdown by Josh Allen.
Speaker 11: There's the snap, there's the surge, and I think they
Speaker 11: largely let him store on purpose. There was not much
Speaker 11: impedance there as Josh Allen is in for the one
Speaker 11: yard touchdown run to give the Bills the lead with
Speaker 11: one o two left in the gate.
Speaker 3: I didn't think the Buffalo Bills like the Toushbush. They
Speaker 3: voted against it. They didn't want the Toush push and ball,
Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden, the Tush push pushes
Speaker 3: them to the next round. But yeah, Jacksonville let them score,
Speaker 3: so they'd have a little bit of time there. And
Speaker 3: I think going into next season, we'll look at Jacksonville
Speaker 3: differently than we have before.
Speaker 2: And it's been a long time since we looked at them.
Speaker 3: That's why when Jacksonville fans they would, you know, email
Speaker 3: the show.
Speaker 2: You know that you didn't. I didn't believe.
Speaker 3: No, I didn't believe because they didn't give me a
Speaker 3: reason to believe before.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I said, look, you got a forces to
Speaker 3: believe that. And they played great, you know, the second
Speaker 3: half of the season, played great and should be very
Speaker 3: proud of what they did. And they should have won
Speaker 3: the game. You're at home, you should win those games.
Speaker 3: But it's weird how it comes down quarterback play to
Speaker 3: get a big moment. And you had that, you know,
Speaker 3: some of the Matthew Stafford big moment, Caleb Williams big moment,
Speaker 3: Josh Allen big moment. Now Drake May didn't need big moments.
Speaker 3: He's gonna need him. He didn't look that good, but
Speaker 3: that defense looked great. And the Chargers offensive line, I
Speaker 3: know it's banged up, but so is Justin Herbert as
Speaker 3: a result. Man, And you know, you saw all these
Speaker 3: great games, and Paulie made the analogy it's like having
Speaker 3: this great meal and then dessert is just okay. So
Speaker 3: you had all of this great these this great meal
Speaker 3: of all these other games, and then dessert was the
Speaker 3: Patriots against the Chargers, and you know, the Teremi sioux
Speaker 3: was burnt, but everything else was pretty good.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Pauli, the Chargers hit I'm sorry, the Patriots hit
Speaker 6: the Chargers quarterback eleven times. You mentioned how Super Bowl
Speaker 6: teams sometimes have hiccups. I just went back and picked
Speaker 6: a random Super Bowl team, the one Patriots. The first
Speaker 6: year with Bledsoe and Brady, they had three playoff games.
Speaker 6: They were down in half at halftime in all three
Speaker 6: playoff games.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it happens.
Speaker 3: And then we always talk about a wake up call,
Speaker 3: and it all happened to somebody this next week as well.

Speaker 3: Now it's kind of vague here. Packer is now expected
Speaker 3: to try to work out a deal in the coming
Speaker 3: days to keep head coach Matt Lafleur in Green Bay.
Speaker 3: Per sources. Okay, so they're leaning towards That doesn't mean
Speaker 3: they're working on it. They're leaning towards working out a
Speaker 3: deal with Matt Lafleur, which I would do that because
Speaker 3: once again, who is going to put you over the
Speaker 3: top If you think John Harball's putting you over the top,
Speaker 3: like I don't think so. And you know you had
Speaker 3: some injuries. You had Michael Parsons wasn't there? Now are
Speaker 3: there things that need to be fixed smoothed out over?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 3: You know I need Jordan Love to be a big
Speaker 3: time quarterback. I need him to be a big time quarterback.
Speaker 3: You gotta be a closer. ABC always be closing. And
Speaker 3: there's certain quarterbacks that you're still waiting. Are you a closer?
Speaker 3: Like Caleb Williams is a closer?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: You know how he starts. I have concerns about but
Speaker 3: man game on the line. He's not afraid. He's not
Speaker 3: gonna buy a dog. There's certain quarterbacks where you go somehow,
Speaker 3: some way, they'll get it done. So they're leaning that way. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I would expect them to try.
Speaker 9: The Packers, it's such such funny words to you. They're
Speaker 9: expected to try to keep their coach. What Yeah, sure,
Speaker 9: I would expect them to try to do that too. Yeah,
Speaker 9: it's it's a vague tweet by chef. It's almost like
Speaker 9: he's covering both sides there. You know they're gonna try,
Speaker 9: and they tried, Like what do you do? You want
Speaker 9: him back or not?
Speaker 3: That's the only thing I want to know because if
Speaker 3: you want him back, then you know, is he gonna
Speaker 3: take a pay cut? I don't think he's getting to
Speaker 3: pay raise, is he? But he probably his agent is
Speaker 3: gonna want to pay raise for it.
Speaker 9: Tell me the Miami Dolphins expected to try to keep
Speaker 9: their head coach, and they did until they didn't they
Speaker 9: could figure out how to keep really yeah, pull.
Speaker 6: On the other side of this, if you're John Harbrough's representatives,
Speaker 6: would the Packers be the first team that you reached
Speaker 6: out to or pursued if that's the right word. Yeah,
Speaker 6: of everything that's open, Miami whatever, Yeah, Giants.
Speaker 2: I don't want Miami. Yeah, no, Miami.
Speaker 12: No.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: The job that I would probably be more interested in
Speaker 3: is Tennessee. What because I can build something there if
Speaker 3: I want to be in it where you know, I
Speaker 3: got five years, I got my franchise quarterback, we got money,
Speaker 3: and I might be able to go in there and
Speaker 3: live in anonymity a little bit and then build something. Now,
Speaker 3: it's not like Mike Brabel going to New England and
Speaker 3: turning a team around.
Speaker 2: Like he's done.
Speaker 3: But I mean, you look at that team and you go, Okay,
Speaker 3: who's my franchise quarterback? Do you think Jackson Dart is
Speaker 3: better than cam Ward? The Brown situation is a mess.
Speaker 3: Green Bay, you're going in. You got Jordan Love, you
Speaker 3: got Michael Parsons, you got you know, some high end
Speaker 3: equipment there. That's a team that could compete for the
Speaker 3: Super Bowl, you know, next year. But I don't know
Speaker 3: what you know John wants to do as far as
Speaker 3: what's his timeline. I think he's like sixty three, sixty two,
Speaker 3: sixty three, sixty three, sixty three.
Speaker 2: He's from the Midwest. I don't know. I mean, you
Speaker 2: go into Green Bay.
Speaker 3: But you got to believe that, Okay, he couldn't get
Speaker 3: one of the best offenses we've had in the last
Speaker 3: couple of decades, a two time MVP at quarterback couldn't
Speaker 3: get them.
Speaker 2: Over the hump exactly.
Speaker 3: That's that would be the thing that now he's a
Speaker 3: special teams guy, he's you know, both.
Speaker 2: Sides of the ball.
Speaker 3: But we've we've seem to have had a disconnect with
Speaker 3: the offense there for the last couple of years with
Speaker 3: John Harbaugh and Mr Jackson, So you know, can he
Speaker 3: get you over the hump? He didn't do that with
Speaker 3: Baltimore in the last what decade. Hey, we got you
Speaker 3: to the playoffs. Okay, Mike Tomlin gets you to the playoffs.
Speaker 3: Can he get you over the hump? That's what I
Speaker 3: would want to know if you move on from Mike Tomlin. Okay,
Speaker 3: now who gets you over the hump? If not, then
Speaker 3: stay with Mike Tomlin.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 9: My problem is that if you look at the Ravens,
Speaker 9: they had so many games where they put up way
Speaker 9: too many points to lose. You can't lose forty one
Speaker 9: forty to the Bills or you know, even thirty eight
Speaker 9: to thirty to the Lions. Those are games you put
Speaker 9: up thirty points, you put up twenty eight points, say
Speaker 9: you're supposed to win that game.
Speaker 3: Especially you know, a franchise that's known for playing defense.
Speaker 3: But they had a lot of injuries. I know, you know,
Speaker 3: everybody has a lot of injuries. It was just if
Speaker 3: they were never quite healthy anough for long enough. I
Speaker 3: thought they were going to go to the playoffs. There
Speaker 3: were two teams I said, look out for these two
Speaker 3: probably the middle of the season, I said, the Texans
Speaker 3: and the Ravens, and here they come. Well, the Texans
Speaker 3: are here. The Ravens. You know, you make a field
Speaker 3: goal and you're in the playoffs. So yeah, this time
Speaker 3: of the year when you're saying, all right, we're going
Speaker 3: to upgrade. Now, do I think John Harball is an
Speaker 3: upgrade in Miami?
Speaker 2: Guess?
Speaker 3: But I don't know about that team. You know, you
Speaker 3: got a quarterback situation that's a mens This is what
Speaker 3: John from what I was told, John is saying. First
Speaker 3: thing you ask, now, he wants total autonomy. He wants
Speaker 3: to be able to make the decisions, and he wants
Speaker 3: you to spend on his staff as well and your quarterback.
Speaker 3: So in no particular order, and there's more that he asked,
Speaker 3: I think from the Cleveland Browns. But he wants, Okay,
Speaker 3: who's my quarterback? Jordan Love? Okay, Cleveland, m m Tennessee, Okay,
Speaker 3: Miami Arizona.
Speaker 2: So you start to look around. You know, the Giants
Speaker 2: got Jackson Dart.
Speaker 3: That to me is he feels like he's the giants
Speaker 3: next head coach. But you know, you might say, boy,
Speaker 3: it's been a lifelong dream to coach the Green Bay Packers.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: And you got a franchise quarterback you're paying. You got
Speaker 3: Michael Parsons who you're paying?
Speaker 2: All right? Can I can?
Speaker 3: I can be the foil to Ben Johnson here, Dan
Speaker 3: Campbell in here. I'm not afraid of these guys.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Paul, Going back to your Titans thing, the Titans
Speaker 6: lead the league and caproom one hundred and two million
Speaker 6: dollars going forward, their quarterbacks on a rookie deal, and
Speaker 6: they're getting a new stadium pretty soon.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of upside there.
Speaker 3: The Oregon game against Indiana. You know, I went in
Speaker 3: that game because we had analysts who were saying, man,
Speaker 3: they love Dante Moore. Man, I like Dante Moore maybe
Speaker 3: better than Fernando Mendoza.
Speaker 2: So I'm I'm.
Speaker 3: Watching a little closer. And then all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: the first pass of the game and it's a pick six,
Speaker 3: and I go, okay, all right, okay, okay. Then there
Speaker 3: were a couple of fumbles in there, and then Fernando Mendoza,
Speaker 3: he he looked like he was he had a pro day. Guys,
Speaker 3: are right T shirts and helllets Yeah, like there was defense,
Speaker 3: but he was.
Speaker 2: He had a pro day.
Speaker 3: I mean he had more touchdown passes than incompletion. And
Speaker 3: now you got the Miami game. But yeah, I watching
Speaker 3: that game, I kept thinking, Okay, is Dante more going
Speaker 3: to do anything?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 3: By default, he might be the second best quarterback available.
Speaker 3: Now that doesn't mean he should come out, because he could.
Speaker 3: He could come out and get drafted by the Jets
Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden you get into these
Speaker 3: bad habits and the media turns on you, and then
Speaker 3: it's not long after that a couple of years where
Speaker 3: you're on another team as a backup quarterback.
Speaker 2: Seeing it happen too many times, you.
Speaker 3: Know, mendoz is coming out and he's going to the
Speaker 3: Raiders more than likely.
Speaker 2: And there's I.
Speaker 3: Mean, he should come out because he's ready to play
Speaker 3: right now. It's just the Raiders aren't ready to play
Speaker 3: right now. That's why they're in this position. That's the
Speaker 3: hard part. Dante Moore could go back to Oregon and
Speaker 3: make you know, four million dollars or do you want
Speaker 3: to come out now and.
Speaker 2: Go to the Jets.
Speaker 3: I would hope that he would go back, but then
Speaker 3: he might not be the second pick overall. He might be,
Speaker 3: you know, in the late twenties, but he might have
Speaker 3: a better chance if that's the case, If you you're
Speaker 3: going to send him to the Jets and say, be
Speaker 3: a savior. How many times have we been down this
Speaker 3: road before? There ain't no saviors. Well there's one here
Speaker 3: not walking through that door. And Mendoza don't bank on
Speaker 3: him being a savior with the you know, the Raiders.
Speaker 3: I just need to have an offensive line for him.
Speaker 3: Just ask Justin Herbert. He's a high end quarterback. If
Speaker 3: you don't have an offensive line, I don't care who
Speaker 3: you got. You got hit eleven times. He's playing with
Speaker 3: a broken bone in his left hand.
Speaker 13: Yes, Marv Milton Williams is the greatest defensive tackles ever played.
Speaker 13: That's how he was looking last night. He was sort
Speaker 13: of like Aaron Donald last night. The offensive line he did.
Speaker 13: But that's why they paid him that money. But they
Speaker 13: beat him up. And you know, this is what Harball
Speaker 13: was building. He wanted to have a formidable offensive line.
Speaker 13: And then you have a couple of injuries other than
Speaker 13: Josh Allen, you know you got you gotta protect these guys,
Speaker 13: even the greats. You know, all right, we'll get some
Speaker 13: phone calls here eight seven to seven to three. D
Speaker 13: P Show email address dpat Danpatrick dot com, Twitter handle
Speaker 13: a DP show.
Speaker 2: Another pole question.
Speaker 6: We have a snarky one. Oh, which Harbaugh brother is
Speaker 6: having the worse or better week? One was fired?
Speaker 3: I would say John Harball is having a better week.
Speaker 3: That's something like he didn't lose in the playoffs. Man
Speaker 3: John gets to pick what team he wants to go to. Yeah, Ston, It.
Speaker 9: Seems kind of odd that there's question marks about well,
Speaker 9: not so many coaches in the playoffs this year, But
Speaker 9: do we usually go into the playoffs wondering which one
Speaker 9: of the playoff coaches is going to be fired?
Speaker 3: No, it's because Harball became available, Kevin Stefanski became available.
Speaker 3: Like Stefanski's a high end coach and highly regarded.
Speaker 9: I feel like even before those guys got fired, you know,
Speaker 9: Tomlin was already like I don't know, he might be
Speaker 9: on his way out or even in Buffalo, maybe a
Speaker 9: time for a new coach there. Those are, you know,
Speaker 9: pretty big name coaches or high end gigs.
Speaker 3: But it feels like we said this about mc dermott
Speaker 3: last year, Nick Siriani last year, Mike Tomlin last year,
Speaker 3: John Harball last year. So I think that those questions
Speaker 3: have been kind of lingering there.
Speaker 9: Yeah, but it's like some of these guys are still
Speaker 9: active in the playoffs. I could still win, Like, I
Speaker 9: don't know, he's probably gonna get fired if they lose
Speaker 9: this week. When next week, well maybe maybe maybe he'll
Speaker 9: save his job if he can get to.
Speaker 3: You know, there was part of me that was Sean
Speaker 3: was coaching for his job in the Jacksonville game, like
Speaker 3: I felt that, Yeah, you know, the Nick Sirianni thing,
Speaker 3: I that seems fluid. I mean, he's going to get
Speaker 3: another year, but you fired your coordinators and then I
Speaker 3: don't know what you're gonna do with your OC and
Speaker 3: then Aj Brown like I just kept you know, you
Speaker 3: watch Saquon Barkley and I go, okay, that's the look
Speaker 3: at them. He's gonna have one hundred yards by the
Speaker 3: end of the first quarter. Here is Nick Sirianni after
Speaker 3: the loss.
Speaker 14: Yeah, you know, I was trying to get him off
Speaker 14: the field, you know, because we were about to punt
Speaker 14: and that was really that was really it. So I
Speaker 14: love Aj. I think he knows how I feel about him.
Speaker 14: I have a special relationship with him. We've we've probably
Speaker 14: went through every emotion you can possibly have together. We've
Speaker 14: laughed together, we've cried together, We've yelled at each other.
Speaker 14: You know, we're both emotional. I was trying to get
Speaker 14: him off the field, and you know he never wanted
Speaker 14: You know that happens in this game. That happens in
Speaker 14: this game.
Speaker 1: And but I love him.
Speaker 3: Okay, I don't think AJ Brown will be there next year.
Speaker 3: I wonder how close they got to trading him before
Speaker 3: the trade deadline. And I know everybody's going to talk
Speaker 3: about a cap hit, and you know they figured these
Speaker 3: things out somehow. I don't care about a sideline fight.
Speaker 3: What I care about is that you're fighting for the
Speaker 3: football and AJ Brown had a couple of drops. If
Speaker 3: you want me to go to you, then hold on
Speaker 3: to the football, be our go to guy. And it
Speaker 3: just felt like there was a disconnect, whether it was
Speaker 3: him with Jalen Hurts, or him and his head coach,
Speaker 3: or maybe both, but you can't have that. They had
Speaker 3: way too much talent to lose that game. But that shows,
Speaker 3: you know, when you have cohesive, when you have collective,
Speaker 3: you can somehow overcome these things.
Speaker 2: And that's what the Niners did.
Speaker 3: Philadelphia was like, yeah, you know, we got problems, but
Speaker 3: that's okay, we got enough talent, and they do until
Speaker 3: they didn't. And that's when the Niners just wouldn't go away.
Speaker 3: And all it took where a couple of plays, Yes, Marv.
Speaker 13: But that's why I think Sirianni's job isn't safe, because
Speaker 13: if your ownership or the GM, you're going to say, hey,
Speaker 13: we have all this talent, but you guys lost to
Speaker 13: a bunch of like backups. Basically there's no Bosa, there's
Speaker 13: no Warner. Kittle was out. No, I UK, like, what's
Speaker 13: the issue?
Speaker 2: I know, yeah at home? Oh I know, I know.
Speaker 3: That was the one game where I'm like, it was
Speaker 3: three and a half, then went up to four and
Speaker 3: a half that the Niners were getting and I thought.
Speaker 2: God, how do they stay in this game?
Speaker 3: And then they just did like you're watching you and
Speaker 3: you go, I can't believe that this is the score.
Speaker 3: I gets a three point game and then the Niners
Speaker 3: take the lead, and I go, they're going to win
Speaker 3: this game.
Speaker 2: They're gonna somehow win this game.
Speaker 3: And I thought Brady had a really good game. When
Speaker 3: Tom was talking about throwing the football in the wind,
Speaker 3: that's the kind of thing you put on your sports
Speaker 3: Emmy reel and send it in because it was really good.
Speaker 3: And when this year, when he started broadcasting, I said
Speaker 3: on the show, former TV executive said, they're going to
Speaker 3: put him on camera an awful lot, not like your
Speaker 3: typical you know, color analysts. They're going to try to
Speaker 3: put Tom on camera as much as possible. And if
Speaker 3: you do it, and you do it tutorial, that's awesome.
Speaker 3: And I thought that he was really good. I think
Speaker 3: Kevin Burkhardt put him in really good positions and that
Speaker 3: you know, that can make it a lot easier for
Speaker 3: both and they had that. And that's chemistry too as well.
Speaker 3: Takes little time timing all of those things, setting you up,
Speaker 3: stories that you may have told me on Saturday that
Speaker 3: I can use on Sunday, all of that stuff. But
Speaker 3: I thought Brady had a good game yesterday. All right,
Speaker 3: let me take a break. I'll get to your phone
Speaker 3: calls coming up in our play of the day up next.

Speaker 11: tied the game.
Speaker 3: Courtesy of Niners Radio Network. Juwan Jennings who had a
Speaker 3: touchdown pass in the Super Bowl, right, and he's the
Speaker 3: sixth non quarterback in NFL history with multiple career touchdown
Speaker 3: passes in the postseason, and the first to do it
Speaker 3: in the last seventy five years. That's your play of

Speaker 3: Liberty Mutual. Liberty Liberty. Why pay full price when you
Speaker 3: can customize and say switch to Liberty Mutual. They'll customize
Speaker 3: your auto and home insurance so you only pay for
Speaker 3: what you need.
Speaker 6: Yes, Paul I went back to twenty fifteen and looked
Speaker 6: at the high school quarterback ratings, and there's guys like
Speaker 6: Jared Stidham, Josh Rosen, Kyler Murray Juwan Jennings was a
Speaker 6: ninth rank duel threat quarterback in America. And then he
Speaker 6: became a wide receiver that.
Speaker 3: Should be in your scouting report if you're playing them.
Speaker 3: And I was a great catch by McCaffrey too at
Speaker 3: a couple of touchdown receptions. Chris and Syracuse, Good morning, Chris,
Speaker 3: what's on your mind today?
Speaker 2: Hey?
Speaker 15: Thanks Dan? I got a best and worst for you.
Speaker 15: You hit it Dan in your opening monologue. My worst,
Speaker 15: which happens a lot on Mondays this time of years,
Speaker 15: goes to the usual suspects of field goal kicker mister
Speaker 15: McManus missing a couple of big kicks for the Packers
Speaker 15: Saturday night, and my best, Kurt's taking the base out
Speaker 15: cracking open a beer line. I don't know if a
Speaker 15: coach has ever elevated himself to legendary status so quickly,
Speaker 15: but he certainly secured himself that status Friday night with
Speaker 15: that line and his team's performance. Yeah, Indiana is the
Speaker 15: model new blood in this new and improved age at
Speaker 15: college football. I just hope the National Championship game is
Speaker 15: a competitive one and Dan, my dream scenario is last
Speaker 15: player of the game Indiana is down to when they
Speaker 15: line up for a game winning fifty yard field goal attempt,
Speaker 15: and ask the Indiana kicker trots out to the field
Speaker 15: before he splits the upright, he walks up to his
Speaker 15: head coach and looks him right in the eyes and says,
Speaker 15: I'll make it greatest line in sports movie, and I'll
Speaker 15: take the Pepsi challenge against Hey, Dad, you want to
Speaker 15: have a catch, but I think Rayke and Solid gets
Speaker 15: edged out barely by the great Jimmy Chitwood.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Chris, Yeah yeah, Kurt Signetti, you know, four
Speaker 3: months ago I would have been shocked that Indiana would
Speaker 3: win the national title. Now I'm going to be shocked
Speaker 3: if they don't win the national title. And they're seven
Speaker 3: point seven and a half point favorites. Buddha in San Francisco, Hi, Buddha.
Speaker 8: Happy Monday boys. Me and Marvin's Niners gott not a
Speaker 8: non problems. But flying to Cancune one, Dan, I have
Speaker 8: no idea how we are doing this. I mean, you
Speaker 8: see what I did there a for see, we are
Speaker 8: defying the odds and I mean we keep pulling out dubs.
Speaker 8: I mean it's wild, Dan. I was literally, Dan, like
Speaker 8: during the game Aster, I was looking up the defensive
Speaker 8: players because I didn't know who they were. I was like,
Speaker 8: it's like truly unbelievable. And now we have a day
Speaker 8: for redemption going up to Seattle, so that should be interesting.
Speaker 2: That's not gonna be easy.
Speaker 8: So but best of the weekend, Dan, my Niners winning
Speaker 8: on the road with a Philly special suck at mcglovin.
Speaker 8: We are straight bird hunting this month, Dan, and we're
Speaker 8: gonna be underdogs, and I'm not worried about anything because
Speaker 8: I mean, at this point we're playing with house money.
Speaker 8: I mean, I mean it could be dangerous for Seattle.
Speaker 8: I mean the pressure is gonna be on them in
Speaker 8: their twelfth man. Hopefully we can have Donaldson ghosts and
Speaker 8: shake them up a bit. And worst of the weekend
Speaker 8: George Kittle, Damn, I mean darn his achilles. I mean
Speaker 8: I watched it live. I mean I saw the achilles
Speaker 8: snap up into a suck and I was like, I immediately
Speaker 8: knew it just sucks, man. And now we have to
Speaker 8: go up to Seattle without our emotional leader and real
Speaker 8: quick Dan. The Chargers in their chargery way, ending the
Speaker 8: slate of games by going across the country to kick
Speaker 8: a field goal.
Speaker 12: Not good.
Speaker 3: Thank you Budda Dylan and Nebraska. Hi Dylan, what's on
Speaker 3: your mind today?
Speaker 2: Hey?
Speaker 12: Dan?
Speaker 16: First time long time six two two hundred. Got a
Speaker 16: best and worst for you? Start with the worst Packers
Speaker 16: blowing a fifteen point fourth quarter lead. It'd be bad
Speaker 16: no matter who was against, but especially bad when you're
Speaker 16: playing the Bears. The offense just disappeared in the second half.
Speaker 16: But best of the weekend Nebraska men's basketball, traditional basketball
Speaker 16: power going down the road, coming back from being down
Speaker 16: sixteen points in the second half to beat traditional football
Speaker 16: power Indiana to move to sixteen to zero on the season.
Speaker 16: Best season in my lifetime or anybody's lifetime. Thanks Dan.
Speaker 3: Yeah, now you've had a couple of impressive starts with
Speaker 3: college basketball. Gus in La, Hi Gus, what's on your
Speaker 3: mind today?
Speaker 12: Good morning, mister Patchick go if you and the boys
Speaker 12: had a great weekend.
Speaker 17: Man, Like I told Tyler, I felt like I needed
Speaker 17: a cigarette after watching.
Speaker 12: All this football and all these amazing games. What a
Speaker 12: street to everybody that was able to watch. I mean
Speaker 12: it felt like I was playing with house money with
Speaker 12: every game that we were watching. That's got to be
Speaker 12: the best of the weekend. The worst of the weekend
Speaker 12: is the Los Angeles.
Speaker 17: Chargers to be able to have all the hype and everything,
Speaker 17: and like Buddha said, you travel all the way across
Speaker 17: country to kick one field goal and have your quarterback
Speaker 17: run for his life and get beat down like that
Speaker 17: with terrible And I think the NFL is in a
Speaker 17: rare place to not get the head Coach of the
Speaker 17: Year wrong. Either Ben Johnson or Shanahan. Either one of
Speaker 17: those boys is going to be the winner. And I
Speaker 17: don't think anyone's gonna have a problem with.
Speaker 12: Where the they show.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but they've already voted, and thank you guys. I mean,
Speaker 3: Liam Cohen did it. Cohen did an unbelievable job with
Speaker 3: the Jags. Ben Johnson did a great job, Mike Vrabel
Speaker 3: did an unbelievable job. Shanahan, given everything that happened with
Speaker 3: that roster, I'm not gonna have any problem. I don't
Speaker 3: get caught up in Coach of the Year. Yeah, do
Speaker 3: you have do you have the final odds of the season.
Speaker 12: Paul.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: After the regular season, Rabel was a favorite. Mike McDonald
Speaker 6: and Seattle second. Yeah, Ben Johnson, Liam Cohen.
Speaker 3: I think Shanahan did the best coaching job of all
Speaker 3: the last guys.
Speaker 2: I do. If they would have won six or seven games.
Speaker 3: I would have said, all right, you know, you did
Speaker 3: pretty well in a tough division. They could have had
Speaker 3: home field advantage throughout the playoffs. Amazing. Rick in Virginia,
Speaker 3: I'll squeeze you on.
Speaker 18: Rick, Thanks, thanks for letting me talk here.
Speaker 8: Dan bust and worst.
Speaker 18: My best is Mountaineers taking the Kansas City Hawks. Jayhawks
Speaker 18: are always the league team. They're always a good, good team.
Speaker 18: That was a great game. My worst is my Jacksonville Jaguars.
Speaker 18: Although great season, great turnaround season, got a wald card
Speaker 18: game at home. That was fantastic to me. Uh, I
Speaker 18: want to change. I want to change the touch push
Speaker 18: to the bear, hug and shove. I think that because
Speaker 18: that's all that. That's what they did. You guys are great.
Speaker 18: Thanks for listening to me.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Rick, Thank you well.
Speaker 3: Jacksonville let Josh Allen score because they wanted to have
Speaker 3: time left to be able to, you know, try to
Speaker 3: win that game.
Speaker 2: Hour two.
Speaker 3: On the way, Ross Tucker said to join us. More
Speaker 3: of your phone calls as well a Monday our starting lineup,
Speaker 3: Fritzy Seat and Mark Paulie, yours truly and of course
Speaker 3: the back room guys. More phone calls. Hour two with
