Thank 0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:06.840 you for your support here all right, we got a 0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:08.840 pull question, Play of the day, stat of the day, 0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:11.679 all of that coming up. Some drama from last night 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:14.679 with the Seahawks and the Rams. Will look at their 0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:18.440 schedules upcoming because we don't know if Russ we'll be 0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:21.080 out of the lineup for the Seahawks. Eight seven seven 0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:23.800 three d P show email ADDRESSDPA Dan Patrick dot com, 0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:26.960 Twitter handle at dp show Play of the Day, stat 0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:30.120 of the day, poll question, all of that forthcoming. We'll 0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:32.560 check in with the Dodgers coming up in a little bit. 0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:37.120 Former NFL quarterback Brady Quinn he will join us as well. 0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:40.120 One of the many great things about Russell Wilson is 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:43.880 his durability. Never misses his start. Last night, injured his finger, 0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:46.680 had to watch from the sidelines as the Seahawks fell 0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:50.200 to the Rams. Backup quarterback Gino Smith came in. You 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:52.840 probably didn't know Geno Smith was still in the league, 0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:56.320 but he did a pretty nice job. Seattle couldn't rely 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:59.560 on that typical formula. Let's be conservative and then wait 0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:02.600 till the final five minutes and then let Russ cook late. 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.600 Tough night all around for Seattle. They left points on 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:08.320 the board in the first half and you're facing a 0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:10.600 team that's got a lot of weapons. You know, when 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:13.640 you think about the Rams, you have Cooper Cup, you 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:18.200 throw into Seawan Jackson, Robert Woods Henderson looks like he 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.359 is a good quality running back, and then you throw 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:25.160 in Matthew Stafford as well. That's a formidable offense here. 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:28.240 You got to take advantage of those opportunities when you 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:30.040 get into the red zone, and they weren't able to 0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:34.040 do them. Wilson wasn't happy where this franchise was at 0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:36.280 the end of last season when he joined us a 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:39.639 day after the Super Bowl and he vented. And I've 0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:42.399 said before, even before all of this happened, I don't 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:44.720 think Russ is going to be there next year. And 0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:46.959 I still don't think he's going to be there next year. 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:50.839 But now the question is what Seattle do if he's 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:54.840 out with a dislocated finger or if it's a fractured finger. 0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:58.280 I don't know what the official diagnosis is, but you 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:00.480 start to look at this and go, Okay, can they 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:03.720 survive because you're in the NFC West and you've got 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:07.560 to survive these games. You have Pittsburgh coming up. I 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:10.400 believe you got Jacksonville and you have the Saints, and 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:13.880 then you have a bye week. Those are all winnable games. 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:18.280 The question is can you win two of those three? 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:20.280 Can you win all three? Can you go into the 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:24.000 bye week by yourself a little extra time? But even 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:28.200 with Russell Wilson, I watched Seattle sometimes and I really 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:30.960 feel like Pete Carroll forgets that Russell Wilson is his 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:35.880 quarterback because you're going, Okay, third and two, let's run 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:38.440 it right into Aaron Donald. Fourth and two, Let's run 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:43.080 it right into Aaron Donald. And look, I've admitted, you know, 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:45.840 I was a C student. I'm not that smart to understand. 0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:50.280 Is this reverse psychology? You know what, Aaron Donald is 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:55.360 not going to expect us running the football, and then 0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:59.440 all of a sudden, Aaron Donald's there. He'll never expect 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:04.200 us to do it again. This goes back to Seattle 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:07.960 Super Bowl. Patriots down on the goal line. Everybody said, 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:11.080 Marshawn Lynch is getting the ball, and I thought, okay, 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:14.200 giving the ball. If not, if you do have a pass, 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:17.800 make it a run pass option. That way Russ runs out, 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:20.080 maybe you can run in. If he throws a pass, 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:23.920 it's not it's probably not going to get intercepted. They 0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:27.760 chosen either, and here we are again, and I I 0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:30.760 still watch and I just think that, you know, we're 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:34.279 gonna look at Russell Wilson's years in Seattle. He's become 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:36.479 a Hall of Fame quarterback. But I think you're going 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:39.479 to look back and say that there's disappointment there that 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:41.880 they were not better or didn't surround him with a 0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:45.719 little bit more. I know that they are. You know, 0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:49.320 they want the run, They're in love with the run. 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:51.479 And then you know, let's play defense. Well, the defense 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:57.919 right now is giving up historically bad numbers in today's NFL. 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:00.400 It's hard to lead with your defense. I mean even 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:03.680 the Rams. The Rams have the two best players at 0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:07.120 their position on defense. And what did Sean McVay do. 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:11.839 He upgraded at the quarterbacking position, added another wide receiver. Yes, 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.480 they did lose a running back, but then they added 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:19.000 a couple of running backs. It's about offense. You're gonna 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:21.760 need to stop here, you know, one or two here 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:25.960 in the regular season, postseason, and Seattle, it still feels 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:28.920 like and even though they got dk Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:33.080 it sometimes the play calling drives me crazy, and I 0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:38.880 thought that that happened again last night. But Seattle's kind 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:43.120 of survive this. I don't think they're a great team. 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:45.880 At times, I think they can be very good. But 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:49.160 you're already in trouble in the NFC West. What are 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:52.679 the Rams? What's that look like the next few games? 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:55.320 Feels like they have a user friendly schedule. The Rams 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:58.640 have a fantastic October. They play the Giants, they play 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:01.839 the Lions, they play the Houston Texans, and then the 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:05.599 Tennessee Titans early November, but then at San Francisco Monday 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:09.160 Night Football November fifteenth, then a bye week. Yeah, and 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:12.640 I'm looking at what the Seahawks have because after the 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:16.320 bye week they have Green Bay, they have Arizona, Washington, 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:20.839 San Francisco. You know, it's not easy. You're trying to 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:24.240 get eleven wins in that division, and it's not going 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:26.600 to be easy because Arizona right now has a pretty 0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:28.760 good head start on you. I don't know how good 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:34.120 San Francisco is. And if you have a different quarterback 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:37.040 than Jimmy Garoppolo, is that going to be an improvement? 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:39.000 I don't know. I think we all want to see 0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:43.040 the new guy, Trey Lance and This creates a different 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:46.920 style of offense here, but your goal is to make 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:49.120 the playoffs. Who gives you the better chance of making 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:54.120 the playoffs? Arizona looks like they're legit right now. The 0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:57.160 Rams we know are I don't think Seattle is, and 0:06:57.240 --> 0:06:59.839 they could still be on the priphrey of making the playoffs. 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:01.919 But I don't think that you look at them as 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:06.120 a formidable team. I didn't even before last night. And 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:12.320 San Francisco, there's still curiosity there. It felt like what 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:14.320 happened last year with all the injuries, and I think 0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:17.280 they had more injuries than any other NFL team, But 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:21.400 you're just I'm not sure. There's a like a question 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:25.160 mark I have over San Francisco. Matthew Stafford talked about 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:28.640 the Rams starting out four and one after last night's win. 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:30.840 The fun thing is is being four and one of 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:32.800 knowing that, you know, our best game of football hasn't 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:34.360 been played yet. There's a lot of things that we 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:35.960 can clean up. I can clean up. I know we 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.720 can as an entire team. So nothing's easy in this league. 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:40.440 You're in every single one you get, especially going on 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:42.400 the road against a really good football team like Seattle. 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:44.120 You know, in a hustle environment. So I'm happy to 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:45.400 be where we are and there's a lot of work 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:46.520 to be done and a lot of a lot of 0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:49.560 football have to be played. Here's Pete Carroll on Russell 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:55.080 Wilson determined fact to them, he wasn't able to hold 0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:56.480 on the football the way he needed to throw it 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:58.040 because we're gonna throw the ball and throw it all 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:01.080 over the place, and we didn't know, you know, what 0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:02.920 he would be able to do when he was just unsure, 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:06.720 and you know, I trust him that if he could 0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:10.040 have he would have. Pain and an injury are two 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:13.960 different things, because if you can't grip the football, he 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:17.480 might not be in pain. And I don't know the 0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:21.400 severity of the injury, but I've had a dislocated finger 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.880 on my right hand, my shooting hand, and it's still 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:27.960 screwed up to this day, but there's no pain there. 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:30.800 And that's what I wonder about with Russ. Is there pain? 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:32.920 They can take care of the pain in the NFL, 0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:38.400 but is there Will it affect his performance? You know that. 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:41.480 You know pitchers will get blisters. It doesn't hurt, it's 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:44.920 just you can't grip the baseball. And then you'll see them. 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:49.040 Nolan Ryan famously had blisters all the time. Josh Beckett, 0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:52.520 pitch for the Marlins, had this. But I don't know 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:55.240 if this is something that keeps Russ out because it's 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:57.680 going to be hard to grip the football. All right. 0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:00.400 Mclevinn would kind of pull question, do you have this 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:03.240 is may sound mean, but is it time for the 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:08.880 Seattle Seahawks to rebuild? Yes or no? They are said 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:12.320 their defenses on a historically bad page for most yards allowed. 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:15.520 Florio just tweeted, Okay, but if you're rebuilding, then are 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:18.840 you rebuilding starting at the quarterbacking position? That's what I 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:22.480 was wondering. I don't know what direction in this franchise 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:25.360 is going in. When you go back to the interview 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:28.280 that Russ did after the Super Bowl, I think Russ 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:30.959 wanted out. I don't think he liked what he saw. 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:33.120 I don't think I think he was fed up of 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:35.680 getting sacked in average of forty eight times this season, 0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:40.280 and it always felt like, hey, Russ, we play this 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:42.440 way and then at the very end, we need you 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:44.720 to pull a rabbit out of a hat. And I 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:49.400 think at some point Russ probably is saying I don't. 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:52.760 Why do I have to do this every year? You know? 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:56.840 And and I don't have any inside information on that 0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:59.200 other than when he came on and then a source said, 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:02.080 you know, this is really serious deal. And this it 0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:05.000 still goes back to what Tom Brady. The impact Tom 0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:08.880 Brady has had on the NFL is going to have 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:15.160 reverberations for decades. I mean, yes, he's the goat. He 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:17.920 might have a bigger impact on the sport because he 0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:22.360 has empowered quarterbacks to have a voice. Because after you 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:25.600 had Patrick Mahomes and you had Russell Wilson in the 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:28.200 building at that Super Bowl, Mahomes playing in it, and 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:32.160 looks over and there's Tom Brady saying, I want Antonio Brown, 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:35.240 I want Gronk here. I'm having fun. I want to 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:38.440 have more of a say so here. That's why Russ 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:41.880 said what he said on the show, because no one 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:44.640 listened to him. Aaron Rodgers wanted to be listened to, 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:49.480 Deshaun Watson wanted to be listened to. That's what Tom 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:53.280 Brady brought about because he had an owner who stayed 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:56.320 out of the way in Tampa as a coach who 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:58.560 was going to listen to him. And why wouldn't you. 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:02.520 Aaron Rodgers did the same thing in Green Bay. Now 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:06.920 they're sort of giving him that. But these new quarterbacks, 0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:11.000 young quarterbacks, they want that voice. Now. Would I have 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:13.800 given to Shaun Watson that voice at twenty four? No? 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:19.040 I would not. Patrick Mahomes, No, I would not. I 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:23.640 think you got it, and Mahomes maybe, but I don't 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:25.200 know what you want to do with that voice, and 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:28.440 what happens when I say no to what you want 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:33.880 to do. I have talked about Michael Jordan famously wanting 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:37.360 former North Carolina players on the roster with the Bulls, 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:40.640 and they said no, and they did the right thing 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:44.800 by saying no to Jordan, but Jordan never forgot it. Hey, 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:48.400 I want Walder Davis here. Walder Davis was at the 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:52.240 very end of his career and had gone through surgeries 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:56.280 and was not a quality NBA player, but Michael wanted him. 0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:59.480 They said no. And sometimes you have to say no. 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:02.440 If I was saying to a quarterback, all right, you 0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:04.679 want to have a seat at the table when we 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:07.720 cut a guy to bring in the guy you want, 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:10.560 why don't you go tell him you made that decision, 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:13.880 Like it's a big boy table. We sit at here. 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:17.240 But that's what Russ just wanted them to listen, and 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:20.840 that's why he went public. And it wasn't by accident 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:24.319 when I started to ask those questions, and then I 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:28.360 just threw out, you know, you're getting sacked an average 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:32.439 of forty eight times a year, more than any quarterback 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:36.000 in the last ten years. And that's when he started 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:38.320 to talk, and then he started to open up, and 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:42.280 then I realized Russ had an agenda. He wanted to 0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:45.319 send a message to the Seahawks because the Seahawks weren't 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:48.280 listening to him. Because Russ has been on this show 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:56.240 twenty times, and usually Russ doesn't say much. Nice person, 0:12:56.400 --> 0:13:01.440 we like him, but he'll give you sort of stand 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:05.439 pad answers, standard answers. This one it was different. I 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:08.080 knew it right away. And then that's when I went 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:10.440 in for the kill, to see, all right, what exactly 0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:12.559 is going to happen here? And then you had the 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:16.320 fallout where his agent told Adam Schefter, hey, these are 0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:19.320 the four teams if you want to trade us, all right, 0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:23.200 message sent loud and clear, got their attention. I don't 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:26.640 know what happens, I mean, you know, is it a 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:31.000 Fluke injury. Yes, But do I think Seattle. Seattle's not 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:33.520 you know, maybe they make the playoffs, but they're they're 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:37.400 not a dangerous team because it feels like it's the 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:41.040 same philosophy and you're gonna rebuild. Does Pete Carroll at 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:44.600 his age, he's the oldest coach in the NFL. Hee's 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:47.600 got a lot of energy. He must be using m drive, 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:52.839 but he's got a lot of energy. But also, you're 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:56.800 looking at the Rams and you're looking at Arizona. Those 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:59.760 two teams look like they're pretty solid for the next 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:02.840 couple of years. San Francisco just got Trey Lance, you 0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:06.920 got a rookie contract here, Like there's there's movement in 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:09.840 the division, let alone the rest of the NFC. And 0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:14.600 I just think at some point Seattle moves on and 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:17.559 uh Russ moves on. Yeah. Polling one thing that drives 0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:19.120 me crazy when I watched the Rams. First of all, 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:22.160 their uniforms are so close to being perfect. If they 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:24.040 would just brighten up those jerseys a little bit like 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:26.360 the like the Dodgers, they almost look like they're tinted, 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:30.200 like they're not completely clean. The Rams uniforms about five 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:33.320 times a game the Rams run this run pass option 0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:36.440 with the running back and Matthew Stafford. Nobody in the 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:39.280 world thinks that Matthew Stafford is running the ball. My 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:42.480 daughter's tensis. Matthew Stafford's not running the ball. Yeah. They 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:45.200 run that run pass option and Stafford does that little 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:47.600 trot away without the ball. Yeah. No one's behind it, 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:52.880 Yeah nobody. Yes, Pete Carroll and Seattle. You know, Pete 0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:54.640 does have a sixth sense of when to leave town, 0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:56.960 as I recall, so she and there happens to be 0:14:57.000 --> 0:15:02.280 another opening in LA I don't know. I'm just saying, um, 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:05.640 if you think Pete would go back to USC has 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:08.360 a sense, a sixth sense of when trouble is coming. 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:11.840 But but you would have to rebuild at USC. What's 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:15.000 easier to do rebuild in Seattle to rebuild at USC? Yeah? 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:17.760 Se So is there a statue of limitations on certain 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:22.400 sanctions that made me waiting? I don't know. All right, 0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:24.680 So what's the poll question we're gonna go with. I 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:26.520 have gonna save it, but I have one I know 0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:29.840 who most needs a quarterback next season. We might as 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:32.600 well get the twenty twenty one hot stove going. Wait, 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:35.480 I thought you were going to save it. Yeah, I'm 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:39.920 saving the teams. Oh oh, I got some good teams. Okay, no, no, no, 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:45.560 Ross's next home question mark? Okay, all right, brots, dogs 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:51.239 and chili on the trigger. Who's got it better than us? No, 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:54.760 we'll take a break. Our good buddy Ross Tucker was 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:58.320 tweeting up the storm last night. He'll join us, coming up, 0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:01.320 and we'll get to your phone call as well. Seventeen 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:04.440 after the hour. Yeah, we got three guests today, so 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:08.080 it's a Friday Fritzie. You've been warned. Look out, Thank you, 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:12.600 Todd take a break back after this mentioned. The triggers 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:15.840 are all fired up. It's there's nothing better. You come in, 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:20.600 temperatures around sixty two sixty three degrees, sun's coming up. 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:24.680 You just feel full weather. And then you walk into 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:28.840 the grilling area. There's Tyler the moderator, firing up the treggers, 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:32.560 putting chili on the tregger. We got killed bossa there 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:35.920 and then and there he goes Tyler running out. Now 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:42.480 there he go, as al Michaels would say, there he 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:46.520 goes out to the tregger grills.

McLevin, you had one, you teased one 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:35.720 before we went to break, and then we'll bring in 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:38.440 our good buddy Ross Tucker. I don't have it finalized, 0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:40.800 but which team is going to be most desperate for 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:43.000 a quarterback in the offseason? If I took all the 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:46.560 one loss and below teams, you got the Steelers, the Texans, 0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:51.320 the Cults, the Vikings, the Dolphins, the Eagles, the Falcons, 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:56.240 the Detroit Lions. That's the and then I guess you'll 0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:59.760 probably put the Broncos in there too. Well, the Steelers definitely, yea, 0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:06.120 they have to make a change. The Texans, Yeah, they're 0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:09.399 going to be drafting somebody. But is any kind of 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:11.560 I don't. We never know, but it seems like it's 0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:13.840 not like a heavy quarterback draft at leasa we know 0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:16.800 about now, no obvious ones, but this happens every year 0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:19.800 around this time. Now we did have Trevor Lawrence. You 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:22.760 have had players where you go, oh, wow, that guy's 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:25.000 going to be a first round pick. Nobody knew Zach 0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:27.119 Wilson at this time a year ago. No one at 0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:30.560 Baker Mayfield anywhere close, No, no, So you're you're going 0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:33.600 to have and people weren't sold on Lamar Jackson when 0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:37.040 you know his final year at Louisville. But I looking 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:40.480 at the landscape of quarterback, I don't see somebody who 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:44.720 is transformational where you go, Hey, I'm irban Meyer, that's 0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:48.600 worth coming out of retirement to coach Trevor Lawrence. I 0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:51.000 don't think you're going to have that this upcoming season. 0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:52.560 So the Texans are going to have the number one 0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:56.160 pick probably, but I don't think you're finding your savior there. 0:18:56.359 --> 0:18:58.560 Depends on what you get in return when you trade 0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:02.080 Deshaun Watson and her Aaron Rodgers to Shaun Watson. And 0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:06.400 maybe you've mentioned Russell Wilson in this play. I don't 0:19:06.440 --> 0:19:09.600 think Russ is there next year. Just don't. But I 0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:12.920 felt that before the season started. Ross Tucker, host of 0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:16.520 the Ross Tucker Football podcast, works for CBS Westwood One. 0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:21.320 You can download the Ross Tucker Football podcast. Also follow 0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:25.720 him on Twitter at Ross Tucker NFL and Ross joanesis 0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:29.119 on the program. What's your takeaway from last night's Rams 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:33.880 win over Seattle? Oh? Geez, I got a bunch Dan, 0:19:34.960 --> 0:19:36.960 both on and off the field. I guess I'm kind 0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:40.679 of review on the Russell Wilson thing. I mean, the 0:19:40.800 --> 0:19:44.320 first two times they had the ball, Dan, they punted 0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:47.680 on fourth and two and a half from the Rams 0:19:47.760 --> 0:19:51.760 forty three, And then they had the ball on the 0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:56.000 thirty one yard line and it was third and two. 0:19:56.800 --> 0:19:59.240 They run. It looked to me like a zone read, 0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:02.480 but us Wilson just handed it to DJ Dallas, so 0:20:02.560 --> 0:20:05.119 I guess he couldn't pull it. He gets tackled for 0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:09.920 no game. Then fourth down they run Alex Collins right 0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:15.880 at Aaron Donald get stoned. I literally tweeted, Dan, are 0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:20.000 the Seahawks aware that Russell Wilson is their quarterback? Like 0:20:20.119 --> 0:20:23.199 someone should probably tell them? And it's funny because I 0:20:23.240 --> 0:20:26.160 got a bunch of applies from people saying, that's why 0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:28.439 he doesn't want to be there, that's why he's not 0:20:28.480 --> 0:20:31.000 going to be there. If you just watch those first 0:20:31.000 --> 0:20:34.160 two series, and I know Russell watches the show her Listen, 0:20:34.240 --> 0:20:36.679 so he's probably watching right now. Russell, you gotta go 0:20:36.720 --> 0:20:39.720 somewhere else too. You're like, you can't be somewhere where. 0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:43.280 The first two drives of the game they punt from 0:20:43.280 --> 0:20:45.359 the forty three and then run it on third and 0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:49.240 fourth down when you're their quarterback, Dude, what do you 0:20:49.280 --> 0:20:54.240 take away if you're the Rams? You know, the one 0:20:54.280 --> 0:20:56.879 thing I guess i'd take away obviously, I think Stafford 0:20:57.320 --> 0:21:00.000 is certainly helping them from what they had last year 0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:03.560 in golf. Their defense isn't playing as well. You know, 0:21:03.640 --> 0:21:06.359 they lost Brandon Staley, Dan, I guess it's kind of 0:21:06.800 --> 0:21:09.600 what are you gonna do? But they lose Brandon Staley 0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:13.840 to the Chargers. That was a legit brain drain, right, there. 0:21:13.960 --> 0:21:16.760 I mean, they had the best defense in football, certainly 0:21:16.800 --> 0:21:19.280 one of the two or three best last year. They're 0:21:19.320 --> 0:21:22.520 not nearly as good this year. Now. They did lose 0:21:22.560 --> 0:21:24.960 some guys, you know, the Browns picked off a couple 0:21:24.960 --> 0:21:28.600 of their defensive backs like Johnson and Hill, so they 0:21:28.600 --> 0:21:32.040 did lose some guys. But they're also using Jalen Ramsey 0:21:32.080 --> 0:21:34.800 a lot differently. They're putting him in the nickel a 0:21:34.840 --> 0:21:37.679 lot in the slot to cover you know, the slot 0:21:37.720 --> 0:21:41.000 receivers and whatever they're doing. It has not been as effective. 0:21:41.040 --> 0:21:44.800 And frankly, they were fortunate the way last night went. 0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:46.800 Even at the end of the first half, you know, 0:21:46.880 --> 0:21:51.000 Russell throws a touchdown pass, there's a tikie tack holding penalty, which, 0:21:51.040 --> 0:21:54.440 by the way, Dan is my other takeaway from last 0:21:54.520 --> 0:21:59.520 night's game. Two things. Number one, cluck mismanagement is an 0:21:59.520 --> 0:22:02.640 app It's an absolute epidemic in the NFL. I am 0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:06.359 shocked how often these guys screw up the clock. Number one, 0:22:06.400 --> 0:22:10.440 the number two, even just that last drive, a very 0:22:10.640 --> 0:22:15.320 questionable roughing the passer penalty on Aaron Donald followed by 0:22:15.400 --> 0:22:20.360 a questionable holding penalty on Dwayne Brown that I don't 0:22:20.400 --> 0:22:22.199 think it was a hold. It was Tickie Tack on 0:22:22.280 --> 0:22:26.000
