Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Final Hour on this Friday. We did it.
Speaker 1: It's a meat Friday. I just went out and inspected
Speaker 1: the triggers. We have chicken pot pie on the trigger
Speaker 1: right now, loaded mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, and cupcakes.
Speaker 2: Who is it better than we do?
Speaker 3: No boy, double dessert?
Speaker 2: Thank you, tom Well.
Speaker 4: I said to Tyler, go out and get cupcakes because
Speaker 4: I didn't think you were a pumpkin pie guy. We
Speaker 4: have the Halloween themed cupcakes for you.
Speaker 5: I'm going to put the cupcake on top of the
Speaker 5: pumpkin pie and have them together. How about that?
Speaker 3: No, you're crazy. I won't do that.
Speaker 2: No you're not.
Speaker 5: I'm going to switch the cupcake on top of the
Speaker 5: pumpkin pie.
Speaker 4: You're like a guy on death row and it's his
Speaker 4: last meal every Friday. I've never seen somebody you you
Speaker 4: pile on that plate.
Speaker 6: I just because I feel like instead of going back
Speaker 6: for second or third, if I just have one jumpo plate,
Speaker 6: I don't have to keep going back.
Speaker 4: We had a f bomb yesterday by Fritzie. That was
Speaker 4: your basketball pick with Klay Thompson. We're going to call
Speaker 4: them f bombs that you said, Hey, this should be
Speaker 4: Victor Wembanyama against Klay Thompson, and it kind of proved
Speaker 4: to be prophetic.
Speaker 5: Was it still involved? They ended up kind of guarding
Speaker 5: each other a.
Speaker 4: Little yes, and he ended up with six threes in
Speaker 4: the win against Victor Wembanyama. So that's an f bomb.
Speaker 4: Later this hour, Paully has a pea bomb. We're little
Speaker 4: little late on the sound effects. There a pea bomb.
Speaker 4: Sunday Night, Cowboys and forty nine Ers collide. It's the
Speaker 4: next chapter of their story. Rivalry Sunday sevent Eastern non
Speaker 4: NBC in Peacock. Speaking of which Jason Garrett, former Cowboy
Speaker 4: coach working for Football Night in America, who joins coming
Speaker 4: up in a little bit.
Speaker 2: The Rams are alive.
Speaker 4: I don't know if they're alive and well, but they're
Speaker 4: alive now three and four.
Speaker 2: Vikings dropped to five and two.
Speaker 4: And when the Rams have all all their weapons, they
Speaker 4: are tough to beat. Pooka and Nakua, Cooper, Cup, Williams
Speaker 4: and Stafford, and they have been a different team when
Speaker 4: they're on the field.
Speaker 2: That's the problem. Trying to keep them all healthy.
Speaker 4: Tonight, Yankees Dodgers Game one, Garrett Cole versus Jack Flaherty
Speaker 4: College football.
Speaker 2: We went over the line up there.
Speaker 4: Dylan, our graphics guy part of the Gambling Podcast, will
Speaker 4: come in and give you his tips for this weekend.
Speaker 4: The Gambling Podcast is available at dan Patrick dot com.
Speaker 4: This day in Sports History? What is the final our
Speaker 4: poll question?
Speaker 2: There? Seton?
Speaker 7: Yeah, let me update you on a couple of options
Speaker 7: that we have already up there. Okay, and you know
Speaker 7: we actually have to address a couple from yesterday too
Speaker 7: that we never really got around to that are kind
Speaker 7: of fun. Okay, but so leftovers, Yeah, leftovers, Okay, Friday fire,
Speaker 7: that's great, Okay, thanks the missed face mask call in
Speaker 7: Rams Vikings game is NBD or b D right now?
Speaker 8: Eighty percent say it's BD. That's a big deal, big deal.
Speaker 7: Would you rather have Justin Jefferson or Pooka and Cooper
Speaker 7: as a pulpav special?
Speaker 8: Right now?
Speaker 7: Fifty four percent would rather have whom do you think
Speaker 7: they picked?
Speaker 8: And Justin Jefferson or Puoka and Cooper.
Speaker 4: I would take Pooka and Cooper. I'm saying the audience
Speaker 4: took Justin Jefferson the off.
Speaker 7: The audience took justin Jefferson for sure fifty four percent.
Speaker 4: Well, they're incorrect. Yeah, I would take Cooper and Pooka.
Speaker 4: You would, yes, And I would think with that win
Speaker 4: your game out of first place, the West is up
Speaker 4: for grabs that I would be surprised now if they're
Speaker 4: going to sell. But I mean it might have been
Speaker 4: that tenuous if they lost last night. From what I
Speaker 4: was told, Cooper Cup was going to be made available.
Speaker 4: Now I know that there were teams who did inquire
Speaker 4: about Cooper Cup and they're on a bye week.
Speaker 2: I don't know if that factor is in it all.
Speaker 4: Because the trade deadline is a week later this year,
Speaker 4: November fifth.
Speaker 2: What else do we need to clean up? Seaton.
Speaker 7: People are also pointing out that your Jerry Jones voice
Speaker 7: has a little Will Ferrell doing Harry carry in it.
Speaker 8: That's a lot right there.
Speaker 4: Well, Dak is a leader. I would prefer that we okay,
Speaker 4: So I'm I'm Harry Carrey. Will Ferrell's Harry Carrey.
Speaker 2: Well that was high. They're close.
Speaker 4: They're close to each No, Jerry is it's more of a.
Speaker 8: Got yourself caught on it.
Speaker 2: Dak is a leader.
Speaker 4: Zake Elliott is still better than Derrick Henry for what we.
Speaker 8: Do doesn't fit in our system.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he didn't fit in our system. How about you
Speaker 4: change the system. The last thing we want is a big,
Speaker 4: punishing running back who can break it eighty yards.
Speaker 2: No way, we want that.
Speaker 8: Runs a little straight for me.
Speaker 4: We want an overweight running back who might be able
Speaker 4: to break off a five or seven yarder.
Speaker 2: Yes, Marvin, I.
Speaker 9: Was angry for Cowboys fans when Derek Henry came on
Speaker 9: the show and said he lived in Dallas.
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 3: Wait, I'm sorry, I'm a little deaf in this year.
Speaker 3: I thought he said he lived in Dallas, like I
Speaker 3: don't have the movie anywhere.
Speaker 4: I know, and I think he wanted to go to
Speaker 4: the cow He didn't want to say that now because
Speaker 4: he's with the Ravens, But hey, I live in Dallas.
Speaker 2: Hello, Yes, PAULI I'm first team.
Speaker 10: Don't admit when I'm wrong, And Jerry Jones just won't
Speaker 10: admit he's wrong.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 10: You could just say like Big Whiff should have taken him,
Speaker 10: and this would all be over. Instead, it's a six
Speaker 10: week story.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 4: Who has a harder time admitting they were wrong? You,
Speaker 4: Jerry Jones or Fritzy.
Speaker 2: I haven't been wrong yet, so I gotta let you
Speaker 2: know that happens. You're wrong about out not being wrong.
Speaker 2: You got him, You're not dead.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well I'm you know, I just feel like I'm
Speaker 4: free now because I got these stitches out, so I'm
Speaker 4: I'm back to normal with you guys. I know that
Speaker 4: there was a little bit of a death watch there,
Speaker 4: and I do really appreciate you guys watching over me
Speaker 4: this week. You know, flag at half staff, but uh,
Speaker 4: it's back up. It's going all the way up, as
Speaker 4: she said, that's what she said.
Speaker 10: Yes, yes, Paul, I think Fritzi is more entertaining the
Speaker 10: way he won't admit they's wrong. He will use semantics
Speaker 10: and dodge and shift. He's like a magician with it.
Speaker 2: Well he does throw it right back at you.
Speaker 4: Oh great, okay, yeah we're And then it's got to
Speaker 4: be to the extreme instead of just you know what, Yeah,
Speaker 4: I made a mistake.
Speaker 2: Can't do it right.
Speaker 6: That's my immaturity when I lash out and I come
Speaker 6: up with the most extreme circumstance that has nothing to
Speaker 6: really do with the argument.
Speaker 2: But I'm the one that gets hurt.
Speaker 3: You do get hurt.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do.
Speaker 5: It's unfair and you're the hotel the show. You're the
Speaker 5: last one that you got hurt.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 4: Plus I'm in a vulnerable state you are. I mean,
Speaker 4: I came off my deathbed to do this show and
Speaker 4: you only want a slink.
Speaker 6: But like one day, even though the doctor Pye said
Speaker 6: a few weeks and you're like, nope, one day.
Speaker 4: I didn't want to wear the sling longer because I
Speaker 4: thought that that scared you guys, that maybe this.
Speaker 2: Did it for us, Yes, like a parent with children, Yes.
Speaker 4: That this was gonna you. You saw the end. It
Speaker 4: was right there. I'm wearing this sling and actually had
Speaker 4: a limp for some reason. I'm limping. Fritzy did say
Speaker 4: to me, He goes, why are you limping? I go,
Speaker 4: I'm not limping yours. Yeah you're limping. I go, I don't.
Speaker 2: I had shoulder surgery, the trip onto the operation, I
Speaker 2: don't know. I don't know. Yes, moment, it's.
Speaker 9: Like Dwayne Way got hurt to show the real bad
Speaker 9: Ones and he got taken out in a wheelchair, and
Speaker 9: I was like, all right.
Speaker 4: It happened, not happen to your leg It happens there.
Speaker 4: Oh did you guys see where a president Barack Obama.
Speaker 4: He was on a young Man in the three podcast,
Speaker 4: and he's on with Tyre's Halliburton, so you'll hear his voice,
Speaker 4: or at least he attempts to talk. Here is the
Speaker 4: former president, big hoops fan, Barack Obama.
Speaker 11: Can I say something though, y'all got to have a
Speaker 11: little more pride in that All Start game. I mean, look,
Speaker 11: it's not as if y'all don't play pick up during
Speaker 11: the summers. You know how to play in a way
Speaker 11: that all right, I'm not going to hurt anybody.
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna take anybody out that All Star Games.
Speaker 3: It's broke, man.
Speaker 11: Well, I mean like people just like not running.
Speaker 3: Everybody just trying all kinds of well.
Speaker 11: I'm not used to be when Kobe and Michael and
Speaker 11: Isaiah those guys were playing. Man, I mean, they weren't
Speaker 11: playing the way they did regular season, but they wanted
Speaker 11: to win.
Speaker 4: Tyree's Haliburton trying to get it a worded. He's clearly
Speaker 4: wanted to tell somebody that. I don't think Michelle was.
Speaker 4: You know, She's probably like, okay, I got it.
Speaker 2: You got a problem with the All Star Game?
Speaker 5: Yes, Tom, you shouldn't be interrupting the president until they've
Speaker 5: done with their point.
Speaker 4: Anyway, Well, former former still former president, let us know.
Speaker 4: I don't know if former presidents are as funny as
Speaker 4: they were when they're presidents. Like there's certain people, certain
Speaker 4: uh you know, uh status situations, jobs where you laugh
Speaker 4: Like I laughed a little too hard when the Commissioner
Speaker 4: Rob Manfred was on when I said, you know something
Speaker 4: about you were going to get the Dodgers Yankees. He said, yeah,
Speaker 4: you know about time I got a break. And then
Speaker 4: I listened to it again and I went about three
Speaker 4: seconds too long with the laugh. And it's probably like
Speaker 4: a commissioner.
Speaker 2: Laugh. And I was guilty of that.
Speaker 5: That's a little jarring, just a shut of I'm not
Speaker 5: guilty of doing any of those there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're never phony.
Speaker 4: The most must win game of the weekend, Todd, I'm
Speaker 4: gonna start with you.
Speaker 6: I am going to go with the New York Jets
Speaker 6: are supposed to have all kinds of fun now after
Speaker 6: what Aaron Rodgers said, and they don't win in Foxsburg
Speaker 6: against the Patriots, I don't want to hear any talk
Speaker 6: about the jetson getting back into a kind of playoff race.
Speaker 4: Well, you just had Gerrodmeo call his team soft. Let's
Speaker 4: see how they respond to that. See no O'Connor. Most
Speaker 4: must win game of the weekend.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say.
Speaker 7: It's the Pittsburgh Steelers, which I think is a Monday
Speaker 7: night game. This is technically the Stillers Giants at Steelers. Okay,
Speaker 7: you would move to six and two just ahead of
Speaker 7: the bye week. Russell Wilson theoretically gets another dub under
Speaker 7: his belt, which is great. You have a toughest schedule
Speaker 7: coming up.
Speaker 8: Down the stretch here.
Speaker 7: I think this is a big game. They have to
Speaker 7: win this game. That's a game they should win.
Speaker 2: Marvin, most must win game of the weekend.
Speaker 3: I'm going College Texas A and M.
Speaker 9: If you want to be taken seriously as a real
Speaker 9: big time program, you have to be LSU at home.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's bulletin board material.
Speaker 3: Oh I'm not playing.
Speaker 2: Oh I can tell Marvin says I'm not playing. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I don't know if Van m has been playing either
Speaker 4: for the past forty years. Yeah, I know, I know,
Speaker 4: PAULI Most must win game of the weekend.
Speaker 10: The Indiana Hoosier is hosting Washington College Game Days nay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, your quarterback is hurt. Yeah.
Speaker 10: Here's the thing, real quick, Washington, you win there. You
Speaker 10: got Michigan State next week. You have a vulnerable Michigan
Speaker 10: team at home, and then you have Ohio State and
Speaker 10: now let's pencil in Ohio State as a loss.
Speaker 3: Then you finish with Purdue.
Speaker 10: If you take care of every other team on your
Speaker 10: schedule in your Indiana and just lose to Ohio State,
Speaker 10: you can slide into the playoffs.
Speaker 4: What about Penn State at Wisconsin with I believe Ohio
Speaker 4: State in the on deck circle on a Saturday night
Speaker 4: white out, Penn State always gives up one each year
Speaker 4: at Wisconsin. This is Wisconsin super Bowl. How about that
Speaker 4: for the most must win game of the weekend. Let's
Speaker 4: bring out Dylan the Graphics Guy, also part of the
Speaker 4: Gambling Podcast with Bad Larry and Shay and Irving. That
Speaker 4: podcast we recorded it yesterday. It's available at Dan Patrick
Speaker 4: dot com. Do not listen to it when you have
Speaker 4: children or your wife in the car. Not safe for
Speaker 4: work either. Just want to give your heads up. And
Speaker 4: there he is the oldest looking twenty eight year old
Speaker 4: in America. He's Dylan the Graphics Guy. That's not necessary.
Speaker 2: Hey guys, hey doyl. All right, spill some wisdom here,
Speaker 2: some wisdom, give me some tea.
Speaker 12: Some tea. Well, do you want to recap or you
Speaker 12: want me to just blaze.
Speaker 2: Ahead and if there's something good to recap?
Speaker 12: Not really? All right, well just move.
Speaker 2: We don't need to look back on last week.
Speaker 13: Jeeves's money line was big. That's about it though. Okay
Speaker 13: for this week, Dan, okay college, I got Notre Dame
Speaker 13: minus the thirteen and a half against Navy.
Speaker 2: You're not a Patriot. I know you're anti American.
Speaker 12: Fading the Patriots.
Speaker 13: The NFL Ones took Illinois plus twenty one against Oregon.
Speaker 12: It's a lot for a scrappyle.
Speaker 4: Then Oregon goes to Michigan next week, so trap game could.
Speaker 13: Be Oregon's gonna win. But I think three touchdowns is
Speaker 13: a little steep and against my better judgment, Dan, Northwestern.
Speaker 3: In Iowa.
Speaker 2: Under seven and a half when.
Speaker 12: The total is less than forty.
Speaker 13: I do like it more with the Hawkeyes, but they're
Speaker 13: they're really collecting all the money back that I wanted.
Speaker 2: You were dominating with Iowa and the under best run I've.
Speaker 13: Had in my gambling career. And it was kind of
Speaker 13: short lived, okay for the NFL. So I did have
Speaker 13: rams money line against the Vikings last night, so we're
Speaker 13: off to a good start there. I've also got the
Speaker 13: Lions laying the eleven again.
Speaker 12: The Titans.
Speaker 2: I got eleven and a half now.
Speaker 12: Eleven and a half.
Speaker 13: Yeah, doesn't change much for me, I don't think, okay,
Speaker 13: but I initially loved the Titans there, which made me pause.
Speaker 2: A little bit.
Speaker 13: Oh okay, and I actually have a D bomb Dylan bomb,
Speaker 13: Dylan bomb, Dylan bomb, Yes, d bomb Raiders money line
Speaker 13: against the Chiefs, whoa plus three sixty damn hey, the
Speaker 13: last the last team to beat him?
Speaker 2: Okay, a d bomb. Yeah, line is nine and a half.
Speaker 12: Nine and a half. Take them straight up. Don't hold
Speaker 12: me to that at all.
Speaker 2: It's a bomb, all right? Well, thank you Dylan DP Yes, mar.
Speaker 9: Sorry, yes, can we rename the podcast against my better judgment?
Speaker 3: That's kind of what this is, that would be fitting?
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I think Dan Patrick takes a gamble.
Speaker 13: Did you notice how I didn't say my best bets
Speaker 13: these weeks? These are just bets. Yes, it's best that
Speaker 13: you don't rebranding. Yes, you don't do that don't classify
Speaker 13: it his best. Yeah, for liability purposes, these are just bets.
Speaker 2: And once again, you just celebrated your birthday.
Speaker 12: I did twenty nine.
Speaker 2: And you made it in every day this week I did.
Speaker 12: I actually had to go to the doctor the day
Speaker 12: after my birthday and get blood drawn.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 12: So far, so good. I haven't heard anything.
Speaker 3: No news is good news, all right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's Dylan the graphics guy. Yes, thank you Doi.
Speaker 4: He's also part of the gambling podcast, Dan Patrick takes
Speaker 4: a Gamble.
Speaker 2: Let's take a break.
Speaker 4: We will talk to Jason Garrett from Football Night in
Speaker 4: America coming up next.
Speaker 2: We're back after this.
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
Speaker 1: the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio
Speaker 1: dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search fsr T
Speaker 1: listen Live.
Speaker 4: I was flipping back and forth. There were some NBA games.
Speaker 4: I did watch a little bit of Boston in Washington
Speaker 4: because I didn't think anybody would watch Boston and Washington.
Speaker 4: Do you realize that the Wizards starting lineup, the average
Speaker 4: age of their lineup is twenty two. That's the youngest
Speaker 4: in the NBA and the youngest fielded by the Washington
Speaker 4: franchise since they started tracking this in nineteen seventy.
Speaker 7: Whoo cow stall of a day, stant of a day,
Speaker 7: statuta day, scant outa day.
Speaker 2: This is the state of the day.
Speaker 4: Not a good thing to have an average roster. The
Speaker 4: average age is twenty two. Yes, time isn' they're.
Speaker 5: Slogan, youthful and irrelevant. I thought that's what they're going
Speaker 5: with the sell tickets.
Speaker 4: Jason Garrett Football Night in America analyst and uh he'll
Speaker 4: be there for the Cowboys and the Niners kick off
Speaker 4: eight twenty eastern on NBC in Peacock. Jason, good to
Speaker 4: have you back. Let me ask you the pole question.
Speaker 4: I'll give you Justin Jefferson or I'm gonna give you
Speaker 4: Pooka Nakua and Cooper Cup. So you can either take
Speaker 4: the two Rams wide receivers or Justin Jefferson.
Speaker 14: I take Justin Jefferson really, and I absolutely love those
Speaker 14: other two guys. I mean, I think they're incredible in
Speaker 14: an amazing combination, but Justin Jefferson to me, is one
Speaker 14: of these game changing cornerstone players that you can build
Speaker 14: your franchise around for ten more years. So when you
Speaker 14: have those guys, you keep them and you're filling around them.
Speaker 2: Okay, who does he remind you of?
Speaker 14: You know, he doesn't remind me of many people in
Speaker 14: terms of an impact. It's not quite Randy Moss for me,
Speaker 14: but it's moving in that direction. You know. What's interesting
Speaker 14: about him is evaluating him coming out of school. He
Speaker 14: played in the slot at LSU, and so one of
Speaker 14: the questions was, hey, okay, why are they playing him
Speaker 14: in the slot? Why is he in? He does not
Speaker 14: run well enough outside, he's not athletic enough. Is he
Speaker 14: one of these savvy guys? And he's all of that stuff.
Speaker 14: But he's got all the other stuff too. So I
Speaker 14: just think he's an elite, elite, game changing player.
Speaker 4: It feels like there's been this rebirth with Matthew Stafford
Speaker 4: after he got to the Rams won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4: I think people realized, or maybe rerealized just how good
Speaker 4: he is or has been. Do you get that feeling
Speaker 4: that all of a sudden he was like Matthew Stafford
Speaker 4: with the Lions. Oh he's good, but the team's not
Speaker 4: any good. Now, all of a sudden, you got these
Speaker 4: young quarterbacks c J. Stroud, Caleb Williams. They're talking about
Speaker 4: looking up to Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 2: How did that happen?
Speaker 14: Well, anybody who's watched football closely for a long time
Speaker 14: realizes how good this guy has been. And that's easy
Speaker 14: to say now, but I mean, if you study quarterback
Speaker 14: play and you study offensive football, what he did for
Speaker 14: all those years in Detroit was amazing. And you said it.
Speaker 14: It was in a rough environment. The team wasn't very good,
Speaker 14: but if you watched him play, he was really good.
Speaker 14: And we had a couple experiences playing against him where
Speaker 14: like damn, I mean at Stafford again, you know, just
Speaker 14: doing some ridiculous thing against us, and he's a rare
Speaker 14: passer of the football. I'm actually working on a project
Speaker 14: with NFL Films right now and the evolution of throwing
Speaker 14: and how it's changed since Joe Namath to today. And
Speaker 14: we've studied a lot of different guys and talked to
Speaker 14: a lot of different guys, and one of the questions
Speaker 14: that's come out of it is, Okay, is there an
Speaker 14: ideal throwing motion? And so we've asked a lot of
Speaker 14: people that we've studied different guys to say what the
Speaker 14: Who's got the best throwing motion? And in the midst
Speaker 14: of doing this. I went to a Rams practice in
Speaker 14: the spring, one of their OTAs. I'm standing on the sidelines,
Speaker 14: I'm like lightning bolt. I think it might be Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 14: I mean, he's just ridiculous how talented he is throwing it.
Speaker 14: But like with a lot of guys, what separates him
Speaker 14: from me is the intent bles His toughness is rare.
Speaker 4: But let me go back to the form, the actual,
Speaker 4: not not the quarterback himself, but just the art of
Speaker 4: throwing a football. You're saying, Matthew Stafford is going to
Speaker 4: be high up on that list way hip. Okay, who
Speaker 4: else would be up there that might surprise me.
Speaker 14: Over time?
Speaker 4: Like Warren Moon to me through the prettiest deep ball
Speaker 4: that I ever saw.
Speaker 14: Yeah, we used to. We used to be in warm
Speaker 14: ups and Warren movie throwing Pat and Go would be like, ah,
Speaker 14: I don't know that anybody throws better than that guy.
Speaker 4: So you're watching warm ups of Warren Moon while you're
Speaker 4: facing him.
Speaker 14: Yeah, it's a great question. And I've been studying this
Speaker 14: and talking about it my whole life. The guy that
Speaker 14: I play with for eight years in Dallas, to me,
Speaker 14: is one of the most underappreciated passers of all time,
Speaker 14: and that's Troy Aikman. I mean, he was just rare
Speaker 14: throwing the ball. And he doesn't have the gaudy statistics
Speaker 14: because of how we played, but he was incredible. Anybody
Speaker 14: who watched him closely day after day, he just could
Speaker 14: throw any ball, and he was so consistent and accurate,
Speaker 14: catchable balls, unbelievable. You know, Marino, Elway, the obvious ones.
Speaker 14: Those guys were just different than everybody else.
Speaker 4: But he's there a quarterback though, who wasn't good but
Speaker 4: had an unbelievable throwing motion.
Speaker 14: Oh, there are tons of those guys like George, Jeff
Speaker 14: George had he could throw a beautiful deep ball. Jeff
Speaker 14: George could throw a beautiful any ball. I mean he
Speaker 14: was a rare passer. You know. Unfortunately he wasn't as
Speaker 14: good a quarterback as he was a passer. You know
Speaker 14: those other guys that I'm talking about, Elway, Marino, that
Speaker 14: they had everything and then they had this eliteness about
Speaker 14: them when they throw the ball. And you know, Brett
Speaker 14: Favre incredible, Like I said, Troy Aikman from that from
Speaker 14: that era. The guy's playing now, I mean the way
Speaker 14: Stafford throws the ball the way Josh Allen throws the ball.
Speaker 14: You know, it's pretty special. It's been interesting this study
Speaker 14: that we've done, and we've talked to a lot of people,
Speaker 14: Tom House being one of them, and you know, sometimes
Speaker 14: you get caught up in the rareness of how hard
Speaker 14: they throw it and how far they throw it and
Speaker 14: all of that. And he kept coming back to guys
Speaker 14: both in baseball and football that were had great control too.
Speaker 14: And I asked him who's got the ideal pitching motion?
Speaker 14: He spent his whole life studying pitchers, and he said
Speaker 14: it's Greg Maddox And I said, really, I was shocked
Speaker 14: by that, because Maddox doesn't strike you as a guy
Speaker 14: who's got this overwhelming physical tools. But he said he
Speaker 14: just was incredible with how he could locate the ball
Speaker 14: on a consistent basis. And he actually compared Maddox to
Speaker 14: Drew Brees, very similar players and how they throw the ball.
Speaker 4: Well, I was going to say, Joe Montana would have
Speaker 4: been my comp for Greg Maddox.
Speaker 14: I think that's a great comp you can't go wrong there.
Speaker 14: But Montana kind of in that same category of a
Speaker 14: guy that doesn't overwhelm you physically, but the precision and
Speaker 14: the consistency is incredible. But it's been a really fun project.
Speaker 14: And I bring it up just to say Stafford's high
Speaker 14: on that list.
Speaker 4: He's Jason Garrett and Football Night in America brings you
Speaker 4: the Cowboys and the Niners.
Speaker 2: All Right, you were in this position.
Speaker 4: I know you hate being put back in this position,
Speaker 4: but I'm gonna put you there. Jerry Jones comes out
Speaker 4: and he's critical of the play calling by Mike McCarthy.
Speaker 4: How does that help the process? Or you have to
Speaker 4: go to a press conference and then answer for Jerry Jones?
Speaker 4: How difficult is that for Mike? How difficult was that
Speaker 4: for you when you were there in Dallas?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 14: As Troy Aikman used to say, something's come with the dinner,
Speaker 14: and so that comes with the dinner. And you know,
Speaker 14: the media types they loved the idea of hey, the
Speaker 14: owner said this, what do you yes? You know they
Speaker 14: love that wedge thing. And you know my approach was
Speaker 14: always you just try to stay above it. You don't
Speaker 14: dive into the fray too much. You know, everybody wants
Speaker 14: authenticity from head coaches. They want them to say what
Speaker 14: they want to say, but that's not your job. Your
Speaker 14: job is to protect the team and protect the organization
Speaker 14: first and foremost, so you try not to delve into
Speaker 14: that too much. It obviously is not the ideal situation.
Speaker 14: You want everybody to be aligned, you don't want There's
Speaker 14: enough noise in the world anyway, you don't want to
Speaker 14: contribute to it. So as much as I try, what
Speaker 14: I try to do is not inflame. It just try
Speaker 14: to pat it down and get everybody thinking about something differently.
Speaker 2: How could Derrick Henry win the MVP?
Speaker 14: Just keep handing on the ball. He's ridiculous, isn't he.
Speaker 4: His fourth quarter stance? Like you can tell where the
Speaker 4: defense gets tired. You don't want to take him on
Speaker 4: And all it takes is just because he doesn't have moves.
Speaker 4: He's kind of like herschel Walker kirsh didn't. He didn't
Speaker 4: have that shiftiness, but if he had a moment, he
Speaker 4: was gone.
Speaker 2: And here's Derrick Henry doing that.
Speaker 4: It's just it feels like it's still and I don't know,
Speaker 4: are we going to be committed to the run this
Speaker 4: season in the NFL? Like league wide, do you feel
Speaker 4: like there's more of a commitment there, and then you're
Speaker 4: factoring in these quarterbacks who are running as well well.
Speaker 14: I think if you look at the best offenses through time,
Speaker 14: they're balanced and they run the ball. And I talk
Speaker 14: about this every week on Sunday Night Football. The quarterbacks
Speaker 14: that have too much of a burden on them ultimately
Speaker 14: fail because the league is too hard, the defenses are
Speaker 14: too good. So if you drop back fifty times, you're
Speaker 14: gonna lose. You might win this week, but you're gonna lose.
Speaker 14: And so you have to control the line of scrimmage,
Speaker 14: you know, being able to run the football, play action, pass,
Speaker 14: all of that. That's when you have success and you
Speaker 14: can sustain that success. So having a commitment to it
Speaker 14: is big. And you know, I laugh at the devaluation
Speaker 14: of running backs. And this is a sensitive topic for
Speaker 14: me because I played in Dallas for eight years and
Speaker 14: we had Emmitt Smith. We won three Super Bowls. The
Speaker 14: impact of EMMITTT. Smith and the offensive line in the
Speaker 14: running game pervaded the whole team. The quarterback, the receivers,
Speaker 14: the defense. Everybody fed off of that. We're a physical
Speaker 14: team that controlled the game. And then our best years
Speaker 14: in Dallas when I was the coach to Marco Murray
Speaker 14: led the league in rushing, Zeke Elliott led the league
Speaker 14: in rushing twice, and all of a sudden, it's ironic
Speaker 14: that Tony Romo and Dak Prescott had their best years
Speaker 14: when we're doing that, you know. So it just creates
Speaker 14: a comfortable environment for the quarterback and for everybody else
Speaker 14: on the team. And so if you can play that way,
Speaker 14: you're going to have sustained success. And the best teams
Speaker 14: do that. When the Rams are rolling, they're running it
Speaker 14: and throwing it, forty nine ers running and throwing it,
Speaker 14: Vikings running and throwing it, And certainly the Ravens might
Speaker 14: be the best example of that this year. So keep
Speaker 14: giving the big guy the ball.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm all in on running.
Speaker 4: And I wondered if we would see because you know,
Speaker 4: these defensive players they're trying to get you know, smaller
Speaker 4: and quicker guys on defense. Now, I just think if
Speaker 4: I'm I'm going to make you adjust to me, we're
Speaker 4: going to run the ball. You might be ready for
Speaker 4: everybody else in the NFL. And you know who you're
Speaker 4: going to face with us. You've got to deal with
Speaker 4: our line, and we're going to run the football. And
Speaker 4: I would make you I would have an advantage at
Speaker 4: least half of the games.
Speaker 2: Where you had to adapt to me.
Speaker 4: I don't know why somebody just doesn't go all in
Speaker 4: and say we're going to run the football and then
Speaker 4: we're going to pass the football, not the other way around.
Speaker 14: Well, it's interesting to say that if you go back
Speaker 14: to Dallas's game a couple weeks ago against Detroit, Detroit
Speaker 14: runs the ball eight of the first ten snaps of
Speaker 14: the game. Detroit's built their team the right way. They
Speaker 14: got great offensive linemen, they got two big time runners,
Speaker 14: and that's where it starts. So everybody talks about Ben
Speaker 14: Johnson boy, the trick, play that, this to that. The
Speaker 14: other thing what they did early in the game was Cowboys,
Speaker 14: let's get ready defend the run. We're gonna hit you
Speaker 14: right in the mouth and we're gonna make you defend
Speaker 14: this run. And then everything else came from that. They
Speaker 14: controlled the line of scrimmage. Now the dropback game comes,
Speaker 14: the lives, the play action game, the specials, all of that.
Speaker 14: So you're preaching to the choir right now. I mean,
Speaker 14: you got the incense out and you're throwing it on
Speaker 14: me because you know this is what I believe, and
Speaker 14: that's how we built our teams in Dallas. Tyron Smith,
Speaker 14: Zach Martin, Travis Frederick, Zeke Elliott. That's how we wanted
Speaker 14: to play.
Speaker 2: If you were coaching the Dolphins, how would you handle
Speaker 2: the to a situation?
Speaker 14: Hard for me to answer that from Afar, I'm not
Speaker 14: I'm not there with him every day, So I got
Speaker 14: to be careful with this response, but air on the
Speaker 14: side of really really having caution about him as a person.
Speaker 14: You know, ultimately, when you're coaching players, and I use
Speaker 14: this word very deliberately, you love the guys. You ask
Speaker 14: them a lot, and you develop a relationship with them
Speaker 14: that's so strong that you love them and you care
Speaker 14: about them first and foremost. And so that has to
Speaker 14: be line one with him, Like Tua, we care about
Speaker 14: you for the rest of your life. So we better
Speaker 14: really all be on board on the medical evaluation here
Speaker 14: before we put you back out there.
Speaker 4: But let's say he's cleared though, Jason, Let's say he's
Speaker 4: get clear again.
Speaker 2: But do you do you change your past protection?
Speaker 4: Are you changing your play calling because of his potential condition?
Speaker 2: Well, let me let.
Speaker 14: Me just finish what I said.
Speaker 12: I got it.
Speaker 14: He's cleared. But let's ask that question again and again
Speaker 14: and again and again before he goes back out there.
Speaker 14: And we're all okay with it, you know, family members,
Speaker 14: medical people, Tua himself, the whole deal. Okay, Now we
Speaker 14: go do it. And I do think you're extra careful
Speaker 14: and extra deliberate in how you call the game. Wow,
Speaker 14: And you coach the heck out of them, like I
Speaker 14: know they have on what you do when the play
Speaker 14: breaks down and getting down and we're not diving for
Speaker 14: first downs, we're not doing any of that. But you
Speaker 14: get the ball out of your hand quickly. They do
Speaker 14: that when you throw it down the field more. You
Speaker 14: better have extra protectors because that's first and foremost with
Speaker 14: any quarterback. But particularly in the situation.
Speaker 4: Are the Niners still contender? Super Bowl contender? Absolutely, even
Speaker 4: with all the injuries.
Speaker 14: Yeah, the seasons young, there's a lot of football to
Speaker 14: be played. There's narratives that come out every Monday about
Speaker 14: what's going to happen the rest of the year based
Speaker 14: on what happened yesterday. But I have a lot of
Speaker 14: faith and their coaches, a lot of faith in their players.
Speaker 14: Obviously they're banged up. The receiver situation is real, but
Speaker 14: they're going to get some guys back, and they're good
Speaker 14: enough to adjust to the guys that they do have.
Speaker 14: The thing for me with them that has always been
Speaker 14: so damn impressive the last few years. I feel like
Speaker 14: their defense was elite, elite and how it disrupted the
Speaker 14: game and controlled the game. You couldn't make an inch
Speaker 14: against them, and you wanted to throw if you're hesitant
Speaker 14: at all, the ball is going to get knocked out
Speaker 14: of your hand, and oh, by the way, fifty four
Speaker 14: is going to intercept another one and all of that.
Speaker 14: I don't feel like they're quite there right now, and
Speaker 14: I think for me with them, they have to get
Speaker 14: themselves back to that place. Those elite players have to
Speaker 14: be elite and extra elite to deal with some of
Speaker 14: the issues that they have on the other side of
Speaker 14: the ball. But I have a lot a lot of
Speaker 14: faith in their team and their coaches, and there's a lot.
Speaker 4: Of football to be played. We'll be watching on Sunday night.
Speaker 4: Great to talk to you, my best of the family.

Speaker 16: four bullet wounds, I have them too. I have the
Speaker 16: four bullet wounds. Well, but I can't believe that you

Speaker 10: two thousand, the NBA Commissioner David Stern announced that the
Speaker 10: Minnesota Timberwolves would forfeit their next five first round draft picks,
Speaker 10: and we provide three million dollars for violations of the
Speaker 10: salary cap. That was the Joe Smith error, I think
Speaker 10: it was. And two thousand and three, Bobby Bowden of
Speaker 10: flores Day became the winning this coach in Major League
Speaker 10: football major college football history with win number three ninety nine.
Speaker 4: This date, in nineteen sixty four, Jim Marshall returns the
Speaker 4: fumble sixty six yards in the wrong direction, resulting in
Speaker 4: a safety. He played for the Minnesota Vikings. Todd, would
