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 --> 00:00:07,080 Speaker 1: Sports Radio Our two on this Wednesday. We're in the 3 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 1: home stretch for college football. We're in the home stretch 4 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 1: for the NFL with the playoffs. Feels like we're in 5 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:18,639 Speaker 1: turn four and we have two flat tires trying to 6 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,320 Speaker 1: make it to the finish line. Here. You got injuries, 7 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: you got COVID, you got coaches, out quarterbacks, out backup 8 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in backup backup quarterbacks who have been released. I 9 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 1: think it's been crazy here. But we go into the 10 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 1: playoffs this weekend and the Cleveland Browns will not be 11 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 1: fully assembled. Also, there's a chance that Jalen Waddle, the 12 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,240 Speaker 1: Alabama wide receiver widely thought of as the best receiver 13 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,959 Speaker 1: on the team when the season started, he will be available, 14 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 1: cleared to practice and might be able to play in 15 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: Monday Night's title game. There was some doubt yesterday and 16 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: I reached out to my college football source about this. 17 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: I wanted to know if he knew anything about justin fields, 18 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: like is there an injury there, because I don't know 19 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 1: if there's been an official diagnosis with him. Maybe it's 20 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: just a bruise. I have no idea, but that was 21 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 1: a car accident that he was in and the way 22 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: he turned, the way he was hit. I don't know 23 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: hip back, kidneys, all the above, but I wanted to know, 24 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: and he said he didn't have any information on that. 25 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: And then you start to wonder about the COVID cases 26 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: at Ohio State. Could that impact the National Title Game? 27 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: And my source said, as of now, it will not. 28 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 1: But you know, this was only Tuesday when we were talking. 29 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: So here we are, it's Wednesday. We still have a 30 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 1: lot of time before Monday Night's title game. But from 31 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: what I was told yesterday that it would take a 32 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: lot to cancel the National Title Game. But also if 33 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: you look at what's happening with the NFL, it will 34 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: take an awful lot to cancel an NFL game. In fact, 35 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: I don't think it's possible with everything that we went 36 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: through during the regular season. And then I wondered, and 37 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: I'm afraid to have Todd ask the NFL, because we ask, 38 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: we ask about Kevinston. Do you want to do that? 39 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: Tons just to say no, no, I don't. I don't 40 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: want you to do that, you know what, reach out 41 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: to Florio and just say has he heard of any 42 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: contingency plans. Because the Browns play the Steelers on Sunday night, 43 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: that's the late game, the final game. Is there any 44 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: contingency plans? If there are any more COVID tests, any 45 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,639 Speaker 1: more positives here, could they move it to Monday. Doesn't 46 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: mean Kevin Stefanski is going to be able to coach, 47 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: but I'm just curious about that. You know, if Florio 48 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: has heard anything about it, don't ask the NFL. There's 49 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: a line about the old Texas Stadium that there was 50 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: a hole in the roof so God could watch his team, 51 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. I don't think it's true, but I know 52 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: that there seems to be a team that he might 53 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: not be pulling for, and that's the Cleveland Browns. Because 54 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: they finally made the playoffs eighteen year drought, head coach, 55 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: key offensive lineman. They test positive they're going to miss 56 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: the playoff game. You know, when you start to think 57 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,519 Speaker 1: about dynasties, the Browns were one of the first dynasties 58 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 1: under Paul Brown and it's been a rough half century. 59 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 1: The stadium known as the Factory of Sadness is Doesn't 60 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: that sound like a heavy metal band from Germany? Ladies 61 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 1: and gentlemen Factory of sadness. God. Yeah, then Art Model 62 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: moved the team to Baltimore, got another team. They only 63 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: made the playoffs once in the two thousands. You beat 64 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: the Steelers, you get in Happy Day Northeast, Ohio. It 65 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: feels like the team is still cursed again, and I 66 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: hope that they're able to get close to what they 67 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: need to get to to be competitive in this game 68 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: with the Steelers, but not having Kevin Stefanski their play caller, 69 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: head coach. She's done a great job with Baker Mayfield. 70 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's a damaging blow. You can lose players, 71 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: but you're you're losing a star player in my opinion, 72 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: with Stefanski. And I'm not trying to overstate something here. 73 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: I think Stefanski has done a wonderful job. And you'll 74 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 1: remember last year when I talked about fred O' Kitchens. 75 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: This is the same team, but Stefanski came in has 76 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 1: done a really good job, and I think kind of 77 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: relocating their identity of who they are and what they 78 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: need to be to be successful, and with him not 79 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: being in there as the play caller, you don't have 80 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 1: your offensive lineman. I mean, that's and your offensive line 81 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: has been your strength. So it's a really big blow 82 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: for Cleveland going into this game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. 83 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: Congratulations to Davante Smith winning the Heisman. You know, I 84 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 1: know that we look at this awardance basically four quarterbacks. 85 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: I love that the voters, all nine hundred of us, 86 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: looked at this and said who is the best player, 87 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: not who is the best player on the best team 88 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 1: with the best stats. Davante Smith, to me, was different 89 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 1: than any other player in college football this year. There 90 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: are a lot of quarterbacks who threw it for a 91 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: lot of yards, a lot of touchdowns, great completion percentage. 92 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: There was one Davante Smith, and I'm glad he won 93 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: the Heisman Trophy. I don't want to say I feel 94 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 1: sorry for Trevor Lawrence, but there is there's a little 95 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 1: bit of, I don't know, sadness. It's a career achievement 96 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: award for somebody who if you said that's your son 97 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: and this is what he accomplished in college football, as 98 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 1: a parent, you would feel really proud, and not that 99 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: you wouldn't with Davante Smith or you know, Mac Jones, 100 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 1: Kyle Trusk, you know, they all had wonderful seasons here. 101 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:02,119 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, I think took on the pressure of being 102 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 1: the phase for college football. You know, they didn't get 103 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 1: to a national title game. He won one national title game, 104 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: didn't get there this year. Obviously, never won a Heisman. 105 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: But I think he can walk out of that room 106 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 1: with his head held high of what he accomplished in 107 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 1: college football, and I think he should be recognized as 108 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: one of the great college quarterbacks of all time. But 109 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: Davonte Smith, it was his night, and there's just something 110 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: about him when he gets the ball. How many players, 111 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: when they get the ball, do you think, honestly think 112 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 1: they can score? And that's what I always thought when 113 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: Davonte Smith got to ball, no matter where he got it, 114 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: he could score and that kind of weapon immeasurable. And 115 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 1: he ended up winning. And it wasn't even close last night. 116 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: Yeah point, We talked about this before, but the Heisman 117 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 1: it's not about greatness, it's about story. And last year, 118 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, he was expected. He did everything expective. He 119 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: last year twenty nineteen thirty six touchdowns, eight picks, four 120 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: thousand yards, great season, exactly what you expect from that kid. 121 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 1: But unfor see, Joe Burrow came out of nowhere, blossomed, 122 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: took LSU to where they hadn't been in a while, 123 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: and the story was easier to vote for. Well, Joe 124 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: Burrow had the greatest season I think a college quarterback 125 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: has ever had. And you know, granted he had a 126 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: very good team, skilled position, all of those things. But 127 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: you know, so is Twa, so is Trevor. I mean, 128 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: they've all had a lot of weapons around them, but 129 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: what you have, you know, been putting up these numbers. 130 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: Now it's a quarterback driven award. And I'm glad that 131 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: the voters looked at Davonte Smith and said he's the 132 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: best player in college football. And I firmly thought that 133 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: probably six week five or six weeks ago, and even 134 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: when you know, we were talking about the Heisman, I said, 135 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: I think he's winning it. I think he's gonna win it. 136 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: And now he did comfortably. Paulie has some breaking news 137 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: with Trevor Lawrence. The Shock. Okay, you're in your car, 138 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna sit down. Trevor Lawrence has announced he is 139 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: going pro and leaving. Oh my god, yeah, who saw 140 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: that coming? He just posted on the Instagrams and the Twitters. 141 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: Even Captain Obvious Fritzie knew that that was coming. I 142 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: just saw it coming to my allway. Thank you, Todd. 143 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: There's a new Mayor coming to NBC Comedy. It's Thursday, 144 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: Ted Danson, Holly Hunter, Bobby Boynahan Star and Mister Mayor 145 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: premiers January seventh on NBC. You can watch on Peacock 146 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: and you can listen on our great radio affiliates around 147 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 1: the country. I believe we have a poll question, Nicklevin. 148 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 1: I wait with that silly one from our one, would 149 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:40,959 Speaker 1: you rather lose the Heisman and win the title game 150 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: or win the Heisman and lose the title game? Seventy 151 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: one percent said they'd rather lose the Heisman but win 152 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: the National Title Game. And I think they're all lying. 153 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,839 Speaker 1: Come on, you don't want to come off as selfish, 154 00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: right exactly? Yeah. Privately though, this is from Jason Kelle. 155 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: He is an offensive lineman for the Eagles, and he 156 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: says that he wants to clear the air and more 157 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: accurately depict what happened during the game on Sunday with 158 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,959 Speaker 1: the Eagles and Washington at the end of the third quarter. 159 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: I was told on the bench that Nate Sudfeld was 160 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: going into the game. I went up to Doug Peterson. 161 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: I asked him if he was taking Hurts out. He 162 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: said yes, I think Nate's earned the right to play. 163 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: I said, everyone else is staying in question mark. He 164 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: said absolutely. I then went to find Sudfeld, started taking 165 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: snaps on the sidelines with him, called the other lineman 166 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: over and had them listened to his snap count to 167 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: make sure everyone was on the rhythm of his cadence, 168 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:48,959 Speaker 1: and then went out for the next drive. So that 169 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: is from Jason Kelsey, the center for the Philadelphia Eagles, 170 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 1: trying to maybe back up his head coach Doug Peterson, 171 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 1: although we had Albert Brier on from the Monday morning 172 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:04,679 Speaker 1: quarterback and said that he got the impression that this 173 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: was a decision that was made up top in the organization, 174 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: maybe Howie Roseman the GM that they were going to 175 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: not try to win this game, that they did want 176 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: to go from nine to six in the draft. It's 177 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 1: a heavy statement there, But if you see Doug Peterson 178 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: when he was asked I think Monday about this, like 179 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: who made the call there? And Doug had a hard 180 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: time answer in that because maybe Doug is not the 181 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: one who made that decision to put in Nate Sudfeld. 182 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: It's a standalone game, playoff implications, and you got national 183 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: TV if you want to start Nate Sudfeld. I don't 184 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: think there is anywhere near the vitriol that has been 185 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: attached to this. Or you're down a couple of touchdowns, 186 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: you're down three, and then you decide you're going to 187 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: bring him in. The timing of it, I think has 188 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,839 Speaker 1: thrown a lot of people off. Do I think they 189 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: were trying to lose the game. I don't think they 190 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: were trying to win the game. Yes, Stephen So I, 191 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: having never played football, I don't really understand how the 192 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 1: communication works. You know, certainly all week during practice and 193 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,079 Speaker 1: then on the sidelines during a game. But is it 194 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: possible that say the lineman, the offensive linemen know during 195 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,079 Speaker 1: the week that hey, Nate Sudfeld might come in. The 196 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: backup might come in at some point, but the running 197 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,319 Speaker 1: backs wouldn't. I could see how that would work that 198 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: maybe the wide receivers and running backs are like the 199 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: skill position guys. They're not aware of the coach's plans 200 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: that we might play the backups at some point in 201 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: the game, but the lineman would be told that. But 202 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: I think you had Brandon Graham, who's a defensive player, 203 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 1: right mcclevin that he claims that. I believe he said 204 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: he knew, and he's a defensive player who knows. You know, 205 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: there's so many shades of gray here, Like, is it 206 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,719 Speaker 1: possible that they said Sepfeld might like you said, might 207 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: come in, but also too, I'm sorry, and I keep 208 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: coming back to this, like lose a locker room? Is 209 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: there a guy on that roster that you want back? 210 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: A bunch of overpaid, old, disappointing draft picks. I mean, 211 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: there's serious problem. Fly Eagles Flying. They won four games 212 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: and their best players are all thirty five years old. Yes, Ton. 213 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: Jason Kelsey goes on to say, I know he can 214 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: win games with Nate because I know Sutty can play. 215 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: It didn't work out Sunday, But it's always that's not 216 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: just on him. Is there anyone blaming Nate Sudfeld? Well, No, 217 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 1: what is Jason Kelsey gonna say, Hey, we had no 218 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,839 Speaker 1: chance with Sutty in there, but hey, I'm glad he 219 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 1: got a chance. Of course, he's gonna stick up for 220 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,719 Speaker 1: Sudfeld and his head coach here. Yeah, mc kelsey did 221 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: take he did put that snap in his foot. I 222 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: don't know what he did. Kelsey's a little part of 223 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 1: the play. Yeah, So people are speculating that maybe Howie 224 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,679 Speaker 1: Roseman the GM asked Doug Peterson to blow the game 225 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,359 Speaker 1: so they can move up in the draft. It's accomplish. 226 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: Give him a raise. Well, now Philadelphia can finally get 227 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 1: a wide receiver since they've if to the last couple 228 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: of drafts. You have Davante Smith, you have Jamar Chase, 229 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts. Yes, McClean, but you were talking with Albert 230 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: Brier about them. Now in the quarterback derby in the draft, 231 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:14,200 Speaker 1: that's too much a hand another quarterback in that room. No, 232 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 1: we can't do that, you guys said, you said when 233 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: you were talking about it with Breer. It all made sense, though. 234 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,439 Speaker 1: I was like, wait, you're right six, they can move 235 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 1: up to two. But also the Dolphins at three. Albert 236 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: Brier said, you're the Dolphins. You have that third pick 237 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: because of the trade with the Texans. Chan Gailey, the 238 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: offensive coordinated for the Dolphins, has resigned, and I wonder 239 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 1: what that's going to do for the play calling for 240 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: two a tonga voloa with this year coming up. I 241 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: don't know if this is attached to I'm not in 242 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: on the inner workings here usually with NFL coaches, But 243 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: if chan Gailey resigned, Slash got fired because maybe he 244 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 1: stunted the development of two a tonga boloh. But I 245 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,680 Speaker 1: will say this about two and it's not And I 246 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: know I got criticized by people when I said this 247 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: earlier in the year. Was tentative. He doesn't look like 248 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 1: he has great arm strength. It looks like he puts 249 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 1: his entire body. It's like, you know, when John McEnroe 250 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: would hit a fourhand volley, it looked like he was 251 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: using every part of his body to hit it. But 252 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: also look at the plays that we're called very little. 253 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: It felt like it was downfield over the middle. There 254 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: are a lot of dumpops here. And when this was 255 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: pointed out to me by a source and said, keep 256 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 1: an eye on this because you know two is going 257 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: to be compared to Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert and 258 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: that's not fair, but he's going to be. And the 259 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: Dolphins know they have a playoff caliber roster. They will 260 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: do their due diligence here, and you know it's basically 261 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: an audition for him. Ryan Fitzpatrick to me, felt like 262 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: the better quarterback for them, but I don't know you're 263 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: going to keep him on the roster Becau. It felt 264 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: like they had a different game plan for Ryan Fitzpatrick 265 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: than he did for Tuah. Now, I do think Tuah 266 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: was better than he's being publicized featured because of Herbert 267 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: and Burrow, especially Herbert, they were so good and therefore 268 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: Tuah didn't have a great year. He didn't have a 269 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: great year. Herbert did, and Burrow was on his way 270 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: to having statistically a great year, but his team had 271 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: a very good year, didn't make the playoffs. But I 272 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: just think it's worth keeping an eye on with that 273 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: situation because judging from Afar and even talking to a 274 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 1: source on this, I don't know if you can be 275 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: completely sold on Tah with what you've seen so far, 276 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: and we've seen teams get sold on somebody after the 277 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 1: first year. Who did I talk to yesterday where I said, 278 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: you could have Trevor Lawrence or you could have Justin Herbert. 279 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: Who do we have Daniel Jeremiah? Daniel Jeremiah whose job 280 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: is to assess talent quarterbacks coming out of college, and 281 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 1: he said Justin Herbert. But he says, I know more 282 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: about him. You know, he's the analyst for their games 283 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: on radio. He got to see him at the pro 284 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: level do it. And I found that amazing because if 285 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: I would have said to you at the draft, the 286 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: Chargers are going to have the best quarterback in this draft, 287 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: and you would take Justin Herbert over Trevor Lawrence. Once 288 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: they get to the NFL, you'd say it was crazy. 289 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: It still sounds crazy to say it, but Justin Herbert 290 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: has already done. If you said Trevor Lawrence has twenty 291 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: seven touchdown passes his rookie year, they'd probably go, I 292 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: ain't got pretty good year. Justin Herbert had thirty one. 293 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: Now they should have been a playoff team. Their coach 294 00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: gets fired, they found ways to lose games that I 295 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 1: didn't know where possible. But you know, Justin Herbert threw 296 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 1: all of that and the injuries performed admirably. And I 297 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 1: wonder about Trevor Lawrence, like, what is the expectation level 298 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: for Trevor Lawrence in his first year? At least twenty 299 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 1: five touchdowns? Right A couple of rushing touchdowns, feels like, 300 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 1: but the expectation level for these quarterbacks is greatly heightened. 301 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 1: I remember we didn't assess quarterbacks until year three when 302 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:35,920 Speaker 1: Steve McNair Hall of Fame caliber quarterback. He had to 303 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 1: wait three years. We had to wait after what behind 304 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 1: Chris Chandler, Carson Palmer sat a year. Rivers said, that's 305 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: the way it used to be. Not anymore, yeah, Paul. 306 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,360 Speaker 1: And the other thing is the starters get benched fast. 307 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 1: Remember Eli Manning and they had Daniel Jones got drafted like, well, 308 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 1: it'll be Eli's last year. He'll play at least half 309 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: the season. Dana Jones had like four completions that a 310 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:03,679 Speaker 1: row in the preseason. Ever gonna take him in there. 311 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 1: Let's go all right, we'll take a break. We're gonna 312 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 1: check in with the Cleveland Browns. Are we gonna stay 313 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: with that pole question? Mcleven, you're gonna do something to her? 314 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,719 Speaker 1: I got some more options after the break. Oh okay, 315 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 1: it's a tease. That's called a tease in the business. 316 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: No word on Jared Goff, although it feels like Wolford 317 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: is probably going to be the starter. I'm guessing that 318 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:30,880 Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh or McVeigh. See, I mean, I got beat 319 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: up a little bit on social media, and I've responded 320 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,439 Speaker 1: to at least one person that said I should have 321 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,400 Speaker 1: given your more eleven. You're trying to pacify me by 322 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 1: doing my joke back my plan on words back to me. 323 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 1: I did a little bit. Yeah, and you didn't say hey, 324 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: as you said in the first hour, he's Sean McVeigh. 325 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: What I was trying to take credit like I came 326 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: up with that first dud turned into Jared scoff at 327 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: that job. No, you guys are crush me right now. 328 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 1: But McVeigh was actually a lot better than my reaction 329 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: was to that turn your head and Jared cough that 330 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,360 Speaker 1: wasn't an I feel like he just tried to tie 331 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: You just pulled a todd move. I shoot, that didn't 332 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 1: work out. That one didn't work out. But you see, 333 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 1: I admit when I do, I don't want to. I 334 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,639 Speaker 1: don't want any comedians lightened material for I don't want 335 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: anything because what you do is you'll say the joke again. 336 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 1: You just say it's slower and it's one more chance 337 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 1: to get that type of positive reaction, but it never works. 338 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: U Yeah, Jared off twenty one after the hour, We'll 339 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 1: check in with the Cleveland Browns coming up next year 340 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 1: on the Dan Patrick Show. I've told you about Built Bar, 341 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I kept him in my office, 342 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,119 Speaker 1: like I you know, get a box of built bars, 343 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 1: and I keep him in there. And then I thought, 344 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 1: you know what, let me share the wealth. It was 345 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: around Christmas holiday season, so I put him out in 346 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: the mail room. That was a mistake, yes on your part. Yeah, 347 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: because now Todd has discovered them, and he has you 348 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: don't work out, but you eat a lot of them. 349 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 1: I do.

Brown's training facility remains closed today per source. 375 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: Team is continuing to prepare for Sunday Night's Wildcard game 376 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: virtually while awaiting additional test results. Doug Deacon is the 377 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: radio color analyst for the Browns. He spent fourteen years 378 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: as an offensive tackle for the Browns and Good to 379 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,679 Speaker 1: Have Doug back on the show, Doug, where do we 380 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 1: stand here trying to prepare for a playoff game that 381 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 1: this city has waited eighteen years for. The franchise is 382 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: waited and you're not gonna have a head coach or 383 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: one of your best offensive lineman. It's going to be 384 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 1: a tough task. And obviously the Steelers are getting some 385 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,120 Speaker 1: guys back that did not play last week. So I think, 386 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: you know, the key to the game is going to 387 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 1: be if the Bronze going to establish their running game 388 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:16,239 Speaker 1: and when the turnover battle. But also you're losing. You're 389 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: an offensive lineman who's been to the Pro Bowl a 390 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,120 Speaker 1: couple of times and you lose. Kevin Stefanski, what one 391 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 1: will be more impactful? Which loss more impactful on Sunday, Well, 392 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 1: that's a toss up because I think, you know, when 393 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:31,199 Speaker 1: you look at Baker and in the pocket, uh, you know, 394 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,479 Speaker 1: if you get pressure in his face, He's not the 395 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 1: tallest guy, so he has a little bit of a 396 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: problem there. So Batonio is stout at the line of scrimmage. 397 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: But on the other hand, Kevin Stefanski has built a 398 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 1: great relationship with Baker and you know kind of brought 399 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 1: Baker that we thought we were going to get out 400 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: of what we have, and I you know, I think 401 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,919 Speaker 1: Stefanski is underrated in what he's done because you know, 402 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: he's a great play caller and he's been that calming 403 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: voice I think for Baker Mayfield. With considering what you 404 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: had with Freddie Kitchens last year, what do you think 405 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: has been the biggest difference in this team this year 406 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 1: as opposed to last year. Well, I think you know, 407 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: we used to have a coach, Dave Adolph. He used 408 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: to say, do you want to be a professional football 409 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: player or you want to be a professional that plays football? 410 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: And I think Kevin has turned them into a bunch 411 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:23,160 Speaker 1: of professionals that played football. What is it, though that 412 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: you're seeing because it feels like there's there's no drama 413 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 1: there this year. Well, yeah, the discipline, the you know, 414 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: during the coronavirus, there are some people that didn't adhere 415 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: to what the rules were so they were let go. 416 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,679 Speaker 1: And you know, he was just very calmly, you know, 417 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,879 Speaker 1: maintained the respect of the football team. And you know, 418 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 1: Freddie was a great guy. I how to love to 419 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: play for Freddie, But I think sometimes Freddie wanted to 420 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: the guys to like him rather than respect him. How 421 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,680 Speaker 1: big is this? How important is this for this city, 422 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: in this franchise that after eighteen years, they're back in 423 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Oh? I mean you could see the people 424 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,919 Speaker 1: walking out of the stadium last week with tears in 425 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 1: their eyes. I mean, it's something they've waited for. And 426 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: there's a generation of Browns fans that have never seen 427 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,120 Speaker 1: the Browns in the playoffs. And you know, it's been 428 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,360 Speaker 1: a tough pill to swallow. Here, you made the playoffs 429 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: I think what four years? Four years? Yeah, yeah, and 430 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: you you know you're going against the Steelers as well, 431 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: so you know you don't need at it incentive, but 432 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,680 Speaker 1: it's certainly they're considering what the Steelers have done to 433 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 1: the Browns, in particular in Pittsburgh. Doug. Yeah, I mean 434 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,399 Speaker 1: when I played, we went all in fourteen during my 435 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,919 Speaker 1: fourteen years over three rivers what we had lost a 436 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 1: year before and the year after I retired. So he 437 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: can't blame it all on me. We've stayed in every 438 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 1: hotel in Pittsburgh trying to change the termon Well, the 439 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 1: problem is me and Joe Green was still on the 440 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 1: other side and you still had Chuck Noll and Terry 441 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: bradg What was it like to go against that steel curtain. Well, 442 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: you know, it was one of those regardless of how 443 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 1: good they were. You know, UIs gave it your best shot, 444 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 1: but they you know up front, you know, obviously you 445 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: talked about Joe, and then you had Dwighte and you 446 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,199 Speaker 1: had Elsie and you had Ernie. But then behind him 447 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 1: he had Ham and Lambert so and they were loaded. 448 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: I mean you're throwing Mel Blunt in the back end 449 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 1: and Donnie Shell. They were always physical football games and 450 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 1: there was one over there that we should have won. 451 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 1: Unfortunately the referee blew a call and because of it, 452 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,640 Speaker 1: we ended up losing. Single toughest defensive player you played 453 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 1: against in your fourteen years. Uh. I'd tell one a 454 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:43,199 Speaker 1: couple of I think Lee Roy Selman, Joe Clecko, Koy Bacon. 455 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: I would say those guys were, you know, the top 456 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 1: of Alvin Bethet. I mean Alvin I played twice a 457 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:55,400 Speaker 1: year for thirteen years, and Alvin was one of the greats. 458 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,439 Speaker 1: Joe Cleco is not in the Hall of Fame? Is he? 459 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 1: He to make the Pro Bowl at three different positions. 460 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 1: That's quite an accomplishment. Much like you know, we have 461 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:10,159 Speaker 1: play Matthews, who finally got into the final fifteen and 462 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: he played nineteen years and played at a high level 463 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 1: for nineteen so hopefully play gets in this year. Well, 464 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: what happened is Cleco got an overshadowed by Gas. To know, 465 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:21,959 Speaker 1: I think that you know, he kind of sucked all 466 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:26,119 Speaker 1: the attention out of that team. Yeah, but when we 467 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:27,959 Speaker 1: came into the line of scrimmage, the one guy we 468 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: were looking for was Cleco because it was a disruptive 469 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 1: force and it was what about six foot one or 470 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 1: two and he just picked you up and carry it 471 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 1: back to the quarterback and he just kind of smile 472 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 1: and do his little pigeon toad walk. So how do 473 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 1: you think this plays out on Sunday night, Doug? Well, 474 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 1: you know, unfortunately, it'd be nice to know who we're 475 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 1: going to have and I think, you know, we have 476 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: some people in the secondary that didn't play last week 477 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,199 Speaker 1: that you know, really hurt us. So hopefully we can 478 00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 1: get Denzel Award and back and kick Kevin and Johnson, 479 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 1: which would help us because you know, Pittsburgh has kind 480 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: of struggled with the run and they've become a past 481 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: first team and you need all the defensive backs you can. 482 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,160 Speaker 1: So as the week goes on, hopefully we'll get Denzel 483 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,679 Speaker 1: and Kevin Johnson back. Good luck, Doug, Thank you. We 484 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 1: appreciate you joining us as always my pleasure. That's Doug Deacon, 485 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 1: the Brown's radio color analysts, spent fourteen years Cleveland Brown's 486 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 1: offensive tackle. I think the steel Curtin, I think the Steelers. 487 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: That's the best defense I've ever seen in my fifty 488 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: years or so. It's not longer watching football, you know. 489 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 1: There we love to attach names, you know, the Fearsome, Foursome, 490 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 1: the Purple People, Eaters, Doomsday defense. But Steeve Curtin, when 491 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:50,120 Speaker 1: you had backups who were Pro Bowlers, it was just 492 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 1: a formidable team. And he's right about Joe Cleco. You know, 493 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 1: I'm I'm trying single handedly to get John Facinda into 494 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. I wrote a letter to David Baker, 495 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: the head of the Hall of Fame, just to say, 496 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 1: you know, let's consider him the voice of the NFL 497 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,400 Speaker 1: should be in there. Joe Cleco might be my next 498 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 1: one if I get I gotta get Tony Basselli in 499 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 1: there as well. But Joe Cleco having I was lucky 500 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 1: to watch the Jets and the Giants back in the eighties, 501 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 1: and I got to see greatness. I got to see 502 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: Lawrence Taylor, and I got to see Joe Cleco. And look, 503 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: I'm guilty because I'd go out there and I'd do 504 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:32,200 Speaker 1: a feature on Mark Gastineau because everybody knew Mark Gastineau 505 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: sack dance, the whole thing. You know, he was married 506 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: to Brigitte Nielsen. He drove a rolls Royce. I mean, 507 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 1: you know, he wanted to be Joe Naiman had the hair. 508 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 1: Joe Cleco, I catch one of those of you say 509 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 1: blue collar, Like if you say that football player, he's 510 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 1: blue collar. Joe Cleco would be the guy if I 511 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 1: wanted to have a face to that. But what he 512 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: did and how he did it, he was. He was 513 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 1: a great, great defensive player, impactful defensive player. Yeah, that 514 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: Steeler team of the seventies, they really maxed out their 515 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 1: defense with fame and Joe Green with the commercials he did. 516 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 1: But Jack Lambert, you know he had that look, but 517 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 1: you know some of his teeth were gone in different pictures. 518 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 1: He was on a cover of Sports illustrated, there's teeth missing, 519 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: there's blood on it. And they became a brand. And 520 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 1: I remember as a kid looking at mel Blunt and saying, 521 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 1: that doesn't look fair. He's so much bigger than the 522 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 1: guys he's he's hitting. He was a defensive back. He 523 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 1: had to be six foot four and two hundred and 524 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 1: twenty pounds or something. And this is back when guys 525 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 1: weren't even close to No one's like that now at 526 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 1: defensive back. When you see mel Blunt and he always 527 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 1: has just black cowboy head on, and you go, that 528 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: dude was playing defensive back. And I can't imagine, you know, 529 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 1: getting hit by mel mel Blunt. But you had, you know, 530 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 1: just so many, so many great players. You know, they 531 00:29:54,040 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 1: had Lambert ham Else, Greenwood. I mean, they just it 532 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 1: was a great defense. Donnie Shell couldn't even start and 533 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 1: he was a Pro Bowl player. Yeah, mclove. What we're 534 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 1: missing is those nicknames. You said, how come we don't 535 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 1: do that anymore? Those are incredible. I mean, we had 536 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 1: to lead it to boom. But I don't think there's 537 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 1: any other nickname defenses out there right Well, it felt 538 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: like the last one was the Killer Bees with the Dolphins. 539 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 1: Isn't it Orange Crush? That was a good one. Yeah, 540 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 1: but yeah, we would always have these labels, great label 541 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 1: fears and forsom, you know what. I was growing up, 542 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 1: and you know, and you're young and impressionable, and I 543 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 1: kept thinking, it just seemed like Deacon Jones was he 544 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 1: literally wanted to kill your quarterback. And meanwhile you had 545 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 1: Rosie Taylor and Merlin Olsen, who couldn't have been nicer. 546 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 1: I mean, Merlin Olsen used to be the florist guy 547 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 1: like FTD. He'd be and you know, he was on 548 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 1: what little helse in the Prairie or whatever it was. 549 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 1: I mean, he was one of the nicest guys. And meanwhile, 550 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 1: Deacon Jones, he scared the hell on me. And I'm 551 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: just watching the game. I get be and and then 552 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 1: the Purple People Eaters with the Vikings Doomsday defense, Randy 553 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 1: White and Joe Cleco for some reason, I always look 554 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: at them with their physicality, their style, and they remind 555 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 1: me of each other for some reason. And Randy White 556 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 1: was awesome. Yeah, it was. It was a lot of 557 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 1: fun to watch. Yes time. I thought Monsters in the 558 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 1: Midway was fun. New York Sack Exchange was terrific. I 559 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 1: didn't realize that. I thought they all got along Lions 560 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 1: and Cleco and Salam with Gastoneau. He did an interview 561 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 1: once years ago, Gastineaux saying we had him on off 562 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 1: close and he said when he was brought up, they 563 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 1: brought up the names Lions and Clicker does I didn't 564 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 1: come here to talk about those pigs, And then we 565 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 1: asked him, what do you mean, goes, they were piglets. 566 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 1: He had no relationship with many of the players on 567 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 1: the Jets, including the Sack Exchange guys. Well, I think 568 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 1: those guys looked at Gastino as a phony. I think 569 00:31:56,280 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 1: that that there was certainly separation there of they they 570 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 1: were on the same line, they weren't on the same page. 571 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 1: But yeah, monsters in the midway, Yeah you could throw 572 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 1: them in there as well. Yeah. Mcclub wait. Rosie Greerie, 573 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,240 Speaker 1: the guy Rosie Free Taylor was with the Giant Free 574 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 1: to be You and Me singer. Was he a singer 575 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 1: actor too? I think he was. Rosie Greer was a 576 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 1: bodyguard for Bobby Kennedy, That's correct. He was there. Raypher Johnson, 577 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 1: the Olympic runner, and Rosie Greer were like celebrity bodyguards, 578 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 1: which Robert Kennedy when the night he was assassin? Yeah, 579 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 1: and Merlin Olson. That's amazing that they had two actor 580 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:42,320 Speaker 1: types on that line and they were still fearsome. Yeah, 581 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 1: like you didn't look at them off the field. Remember 582 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 1: Fred Dryer, Yeah, what was his deal? Well, he was 583 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 1: in a show called Hunter, and Fred famously played in 584 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 1: a super Bowl with a broken leg.

Merlin Olson got a father Murphy that was 588 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,479 Speaker 1: on like a decade.

Let it. 600 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 1: Defensive players have better personalities than offensive players, and get it. 601 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,480 Speaker 1: They're real people we can identify and we can relate 602 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 1: to them. Maybe that's what it is. Who would be 603 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 1: a defenship player on our team? JJ Watt bad Moms, 604 00:33:55,760 --> 00:34:00,120 Speaker 1: he crushed it soccer coach. He's actually pretty fun when 605 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:04,760 Speaker 1: he got Clay Matthews.

Yea, yeah, who else 610 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:27,279 Speaker 1: can you see? I'm trying to think if there's any 611 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 1: other um, big, big time personalities. Um, Richard Sherman's is 612 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:36,880 Speaker 1: not really an act. He feels more like a commentator, 613 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:44,359 Speaker 1: right yeah, Um, Miles Garrett has a personality there, Oh 614 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 1: chase you Yeah, Well we're gonna we're gonna find out 615 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,920 Speaker 1: and how that personal personality is when he sees, uh 616 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,359 Speaker 1: Tommy hashtag Tommy. All right, we'll take a break here, 617 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:59,280 Speaker 1: phone calls coming up, and uh, let me see anything 618 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 1: else I need to mentioned. Also, we'll bring back a 619 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:04,880 Speaker 1: couple of things that Albert Brewer had to say that 620 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:09,080 Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagle situation I found really interesting and thought 621 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:12,400 Speaker 1: Albert put himself out there with what he thought was 622 00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:16,759 Speaker 1: going on on Sunday night. And you know, there's a 623 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 1: couple other things going on with the Rams situation with 624 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:22,799 Speaker 1: Jared Goff, and you know, Sean McVay knows I think 625 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,360 Speaker 1: who he's going to start, but he has no interest 626 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,480 Speaker 1: in telling the Seahawks, which I certainly understand that. All right, 627 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 1: if I'm the Seattle Seahawks, I'm preparing for both, but 628 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,520 Speaker 1: I would be preparing for John Wolford because that is 629 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 1: somebody that is new to the Rams. In his style 630 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 1: a rush for fifty some yards and it wasn't great, 631 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:47,080 Speaker 1: but he wasn't bad. I mean, he wasn't Nate Sudfeld, 632 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,279 Speaker 1: but you know, he gave them that extra dimension that 633 00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,160 Speaker 1: I think if you're Seattle, then you have to at 634 00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,920 Speaker 1: least be aware of that. Take a break back after this. 635 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,400 Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to The Dan Patrick Show podcast.

If you know you're just a little bruised. 656 00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:16,880 Speaker 1: If you've been in a car accident, there are times 657 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,600 Speaker 1: after the accident where you go, damn, where did that 658 00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:22,200 Speaker 1: come from? And all of a sudden you got a 659 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,520 Speaker 1: bruise or you know, your shoulder or neck, and uh, 660 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,440 Speaker 1: that might be what happened because that was a collision. 661 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:30,760 Speaker 1: That was a car crash. Yeah, McClement. Does this totally 662 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 1: change everything we think about justin fields like now, he's 663 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,400 Speaker 1: a Now he's a tough guy guy because he was 664 00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,319 Speaker 1: really struggled the two weeks before. Right, you had talked 665 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,880 Speaker 1: about him being off. He had a great night and 666 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:47,239 Speaker 1: if he has another great night, if he beats Alabama, 667 00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:51,000 Speaker 1: then I wonder. No, he's not going number one overall, 668 00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:55,200 Speaker 1: But but what'd he go number two? I don't want 669 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:58,319 Speaker 1: to say it that way. We're gonna cut that out. 670 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:02,279 Speaker 1: Would he would he as the second pick in the draft? Yes, 671 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:04,920 Speaker 1: we love But it's an unfair to judge a prospect 672 00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:06,960 Speaker 1: by one game. I don't have to look at the 673 00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:08,959 Speaker 1: body of work. It seems silly that one game could 674 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,719 Speaker 1: determine a draft spot. Are you new here? I know 675 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,560 Speaker 1: I feel like that's but I'm wondering, is that the 676 00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:16,880 Speaker 1: way the media does it, or do teams do it differently? 677 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:21,480 Speaker 1: I know we will the media, no, not teams. Teams 678 00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:23,960 Speaker 1: look at the body of work, right, Yeah, you can't go. God, 679 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,799 Speaker 1: that guy was really good in that one game. Let's 680 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:30,160 Speaker 1: draft him. I would think you would want to. That's 681 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,879 Speaker 1: why when I was assessing Joe Burrow now assessing him 682 00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:37,239 Speaker 1: through a source, I said, as much credit as I 683 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,440 Speaker 1: want to give him for the greatest season a quarterback 684 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,320 Speaker 1: has ever turned in in college football history. In my opinion, 685 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,240 Speaker 1: I have to go back to the previous year where 686 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,279 Speaker 1: he was sort of pedestrian, and he went from being 687 00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,320 Speaker 1: maybe a fourth or fifth round pick to the number 688 00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:54,000 Speaker 1: one pick overall. So somewhere in between was Joe Burrow 689 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:58,160 Speaker 1: in my opinion, And then I realized, you know that, 690 00:38:58,360 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 1: since then I was going to take him number one 691 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,879 Speaker 1: and buy all accounts they made the right choice there. Yeah. Pay, 692 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:04,919 Speaker 1: I've been thinking about this a lot the past couple 693 00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,920 Speaker 1: monch which of the sports media hot takers is most 694 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,960 Speaker 1: likely to say that Trevor Lawrence should not be the 695 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:15,000 Speaker 1: ner one pick and blank quarterback should because someone's going 696 00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:18,120 Speaker 1: to do that for attention, because you know it's coming 697 00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:22,239 Speaker 1: if it hasn't already. Some analysts taker they have to 698 00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,960 Speaker 1: follow college football and a lot of these hot takers 699 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,440 Speaker 1: don't cover. But that won't stop him from saying it 700 00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,319 Speaker 1: on the show that Trevor Lawrence should not be the 701 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,040 Speaker 1: number one pick. It should be Field, it should be Wilson, 702 00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:40,560 Speaker 1: blank blank. It's gonna happen for attention. Yeah, I don't 703 00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:45,040 Speaker 1: want to handicap the hot takers here, but yeah, somebody 704 00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,000 Speaker 1: will do that. But you know, I go back to 705 00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:51,560 Speaker 1: what Kirk Herbstreet said earlier in the year. I think 706 00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:55,680 Speaker 1: he looked at Justin Fields as better or he would 707 00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:59,080 Speaker 1: be better as a pro than Trevor Lawrence. So Herbie 708 00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,200 Speaker 1: said that on our show months ago. Yeah, mcclub, is 709 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,520 Speaker 1: it possible to all the you know, the Leaf Manning 710 00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:08,320 Speaker 1: dynamic will be Zach Wilson Justin Fields instead of Trevor Lawrence. 711 00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,920 Speaker 1: So that we need a quarterback debate. There's always a 712 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,880 Speaker 1: quarterback debate. Well, who's the second best quarterback is going 713 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:18,520 Speaker 1: to be the debate, like who goes second behind Trevor Lawrence? 714 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:23,000 Speaker 1: And do the Jets take a quarterback? Does somebody trade 715 00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,200 Speaker 1: up to get a quarterback? Yeah? Mc club, I heard 716 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,279 Speaker 1: Keiper say someone could trade up to two to take 717 00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,640 Speaker 1: the left tackle out of Oregon too. That's not out 718 00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:34,200 Speaker 1: of out of soul, penny stool, because maybe the quarterbacks 719 00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:37,680 Speaker 1: go three, four, five instead of two. Well, that would 720 00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,560 Speaker 1: be what the If I'm the Bengals, That's what I 721 00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:44,360 Speaker 1: would be looking on. I would trade up and let's 722 00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:48,520 Speaker 1: not do what the Colts did to Andrew luck that 723 00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:52,840 Speaker 1: they waited too long to reinforce you know that offensive line. 724 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,600 Speaker 1: You got Quentin Nelson, but it was too late. Damage 725 00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:57,960 Speaker 1: was done to Andrew luck yamp. I think Miami with 726 00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,680 Speaker 1: a third pick is really interesting because what if somehow 727 00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,719 Speaker 1: the Jets take a quarterback and it's not Fields, and 728 00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,440 Speaker 1: Justin Fields is still available with a third pick in 729 00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,200 Speaker 1: the draft. Miami sitting there, They've already got a bunch 730 00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,280 Speaker 1: of draft picks, but they would have teams like Philadelphia, 731 00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:17,680 Speaker 1: Detroit to Carolina et Eta Bark jumping for that pick. Yeah. 732 00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:21,080 Speaker 1: The Dolphins, Uh, that trade with Laramie Tunsel turned out 733 00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:23,799 Speaker 1: to be pretty good, right, we got the third pick 734 00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:27,480 Speaker 1: in the draft. Do you see where JJ want to 735 00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:33,200 Speaker 1: apologize to Deshaun Watson for basically wasting a year, wasting 736 00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:36,920 Speaker 1: a great year by Deshaun Watson. Yeah, I don't. I 737 00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:40,160 Speaker 1: can't imagine that JJ is going to be there next year. 738 00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:45,759 Speaker 1: I think the Packers, you know, it always sounds like, 739 00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:47,440 Speaker 1: you know, that'd be the place for him to go, 740 00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:52,000 Speaker 1: but uh, I don't know. I just can't imagine. I 741 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,239 Speaker 1: don't even know what Houston's doing. Like Houston keeps they 742 00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:59,680 Speaker 1: keep picking fruit from the Patriots tree, and the fruit 743 00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:02,600 Speaker 1: is good. They keep going, you know what, We're gonna 744 00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,560 Speaker 1: try it again. We're gonna get a GM here, We're 745 00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:07,640 Speaker 1: gonna get a coach here, We're gonna get an assistant coach. 746 00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:11,120 Speaker 1: We're gonna keep getting these guys from the Belichick tree. 747 00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:16,880 Speaker 1: And even Deshaun Watson not pleased with who they picked. 748 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:21,440 Speaker 1: They who they get done. Yeah, but he had been 749 00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:23,960 Speaker 1: rumored to be going there for a while. I mean 750 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,239 Speaker 1: he helped build the Patriots. I feel like this is 751 00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,000 Speaker 1: this is the guy we're getting ripped for. Like I 752 00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:32,000 Speaker 1: felt like most teams want this guy if he built 753 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,799 Speaker 1: the Patriots. Oh, I don't know, but it's you know, 754 00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:39,560 Speaker 1: it's it's like Josh McDaniels. I mean, he not getting 755 00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:44,320 Speaker 1: a job. Yeah. See, but like what coaching tree should 756 00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,680 Speaker 1: you be picking from then if it's not the Belichick one, 757 00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:49,680 Speaker 1: I don't know. If I would be looking at a tree, 758 00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:54,879 Speaker 1: I wouldn't go, boy, um, he's he was there with Bill. 759 00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:58,560 Speaker 1: Let's take him. But everybody comes from somebody else's yeah. Yeah, 760 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:03,040 Speaker 1: But they keep the Texans, keep going back to the Patriots. 761 00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:05,600 Speaker 1: That's the problem I have that maybe you look in 762 00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:09,360 Speaker 1: a different forest here. It's like, we'll take Romeo Cornell, 763 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:12,640 Speaker 1: We're gonna take Wes Welker, I think was an assistant 764 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,160 Speaker 1: coach with them, and they're just like, we're gonna get 765 00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:18,040 Speaker 1: one of those guys, and maybe that this is the 766 00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:23,080 Speaker 1: one that will work.
