WEBVTT - Hour 2 - Rich Eisen (01-08-20) 0:00:01.040 --> 0:00:03.080 Thank you for listening to this podcast one Sports and 0:00:03.240 --> 0:00:09.600 ed production, Available on Apple podcasts and podcast one. What's 0:00:09.640 --> 0:00:13.640 Happening Everybody? This is the official Lakers podcast. I'm your host, 0:00:13.720 --> 0:00:16.400 Mike Trudell, super pumped to be yere, flanked by Aaron 0:00:16.520 --> 0:00:18.520 lars Tool You ready to go? I'm ready to go. 0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:24.040 I think the Lakers will be a top ten defense. 0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:29.160 You're telling you try to get a team that has 0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:31.720 two stars or two superstars in this scape, as Lebron 0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:34.239 and Ad can sometimes cancer as other out. But I 0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:37.680 think they're both good candidates cramby teams. I really like 0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:41.400 the way that this team just feels to be around 0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:44.280 the It's a it's a very clear message. It's just 0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:46.360 two stars and Lebron and a D and it's everybody 0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:48.839 else that's on board. It's the relationship that is developing 0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:51.160 between those two off the court and on the court. 0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:53.840 They're cohesiveness on the court. I think in this case, 0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:55.960 this is a special case that the two of them 0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:58.440 will enhance each other as opposed to taking away from 0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:02.280 each other.

I just got a 0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:59.520 squall alert on my phone. A snow squall. What does 0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:05.600 it mean? I get high winds and sideways snow. Yeah. 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:07.960 We got this about two weeks ago in the tri 0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:11.760 state New England area, and it was just basically a 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:17.040 huge snowstorm that hit rapidly and stopped rapidly, and it 0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:19.680 was whiteout conditions. We got it about two weeks ago. 0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:28.160 What constitutes a squall checking Okay, a sudden intense storm MC. 0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:31.440 Look at that. I got caught in that squall, by 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:33.200 the way, two weeks ago, I was in a car 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:36.040 and it came fast and curious. It's the wind, right, 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:39.760 that's different? Well justin Yeah, the wind comes in pretty 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:42.000 hard and then brings the snow with it, so instead 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:45.080 of snow just falling kind of harmlessly, it's kind of 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:48.240 it's a whiteout. Yes, by the shout out to our 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:52.280 great station and anchors. The sports squall. They play a 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:57.160 lot of squallid oats. Oh okay. A squall is a sudden, 0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:02.200 violent gust of wind or a localized storm, one bringing rain, snow, 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:05.920 or sleet. Oh good, okay, so you can have a 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:08.800 rain squall, none of that stopping the postal service, by 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:10.880 the way, they run right through the whole thing. Boom. 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:16.880 What's the worst weather you ever delivered mail in? Probably rain, rainer, snow, 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:19.519 I don't know. They were like blizzards and stuff that 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:23.360 kind of stunk. Did you bring dog treats with you? Hack? Yeah? 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:26.160 Every day, loaded up with him and then as soon 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:27.960 as the dogs started barking, you just throw a couple 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:31.079 of biscuits over him. Before long they stopped barking. Yeah, Paul, 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:32.560 how did you keep your cigarettes lit in the rain 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:35.280 when it was a copy But you know what those 0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:38.600 hoods they had. They're they're pretty wide berths. You just 0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:43.120 neck a couple of heaters that little box truck. I 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:45.680 saw this quote from Roy Williams. Roy Williams, of course, 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:48.600 the great Hall of Fame coach at North Carolina, and 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:52.040 I actually thought of the danas here, but follow me 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:56.040 on this because he had a comment on his North 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:59.080 Carolina basketball team this year. He called his North Carolina 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:02.160 team the least gifted I've ever coached. Now, the reason 0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:05.240 why I thought of this is, you know, this isn't 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:09.320 a compliment obviously, but when we had a former member 0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:12.800 of management who said you guys were solid and improving. 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:17.120 And so when I saw this, like I thought Roy Williams, Like, 0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:18.680 what else was he going to say? If he didn't 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:21.599 say this is the least gifted team I've ever coached, 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:25.000 I could he have said they're you know, they're solid 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:30.440 and improving because when management said that to me, and 0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:32.960 it was hard to stand up for management when they 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:36.760 called you guys solid and improving. But I said, focus 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:40.240 on the solid part of it or the improving part 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:43.440 of it. Yeah, point isn't Roy Williams indicting himself and 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:47.080 his recruiting staff because he chose the talent that's on 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:50.680 the team could be to some level. Yeah, yes, it's 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:54.120 compared to you. It's just stuck with us. No, no, no, 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:57.320 that's when I was I was disappointed in management when 0:04:57.360 --> 0:05:00.760 they said that, because I'm like solid and improving. You know, 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:04.880 it's it's better than not stot shaky and getting worse. No, I, 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:08.000 as I said before, you guys aren't the best at 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:11.080 your jobs. You're the best at your job for the 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:13.960 show like it works with what you do and how 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:17.360 you do it. Um, it's like Springsteen's band. I don't 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:20.360 think they're all the best musicians, but in that band, 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:23.840 they make the band great. And I'm not the best 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:26.479 at what I do, so but when we do it 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:30.839 together then it works somehow. Someway Now, Roy Williams said 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:33.680 that team was probably happy today. Instead they're all going 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:38.800 to transfer Emzy say no, they're not that down. Oh yes, 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:42.520 just put a plan out eas Street band hall of famers, Yes, 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:44.760 and so were we on that out there? Yeah? The 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:48.560 band is a hall of fame, not individually now, yes, 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:54.839 but is that the squall squalor? Okay, who wants to 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:58.160 go outside? I got all right, go out there no 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:01.960 squaw warning till ten four five am. Sudden white outs, 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:04.359 icy roads, slow down please, by the way, we just 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:06.640 got a five minute heads up Paul from you. You 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:08.800 would have been you would be five minutes later. Then 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:12.039 my phone run off five minutes ago. My phone's not soft. 0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:14.279 My phone doesn't care about the squad. They know that 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:18.080 I drive a prettiest and you have a Paul. Polly's 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:20.920 got that super Doppler radar on his phone. There, Yeah, 0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:23.600 I'll check thee Yeah, go out and go out and 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:28.640 check the squall, the winter squall. Here, the sports squall. 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:32.560 It's like the radio they finally run out of radio 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:36.800 station names. That's the sports Squall. There's Polly going outside 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:47.719 opening the door and Sonny, that's look, that's what I 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.080 read in the squall the other day. It was perfectly 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:53.520 stunnied and boom, it hit like it hit like a squall. Okay, 0:06:53.760 --> 0:07:00.279 any checking out? Oh Pauli's lucky to be alive after 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:06.200 what it looked like out there. Oh my gosh, man, 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:08.880 are you okay? Eat it? Jim Canty. I just went 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:13.160 in the mouth of the lion. It looked like a kitten. 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:16.000 It's like forty degrees and completely counted. There's not even 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:17.720 a hint of wind. Maybe we're in the eye of 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:21.680 the hurricane right now. We don't even know it's going up. Yeah, 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:24.679 Jim Cantarget, eat it all right, welcome to the program 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.200 already in progress. If you can tell I don't know. 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:29.480 Would you be bothered by this if you're the Carolina 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:33.200 Panthers owner that Matt Rule reportedly called the Giants before 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:37.920 taking the Panthers Joe. So the Giants thought they were 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:41.480 getting Matt Rule, and Matt Rule got everything he wanted 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:45.040 from Carolina and then reached out to the Giants. The 0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:47.600 Giants told Matt Rule that they still wanted him to 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:50.600 come in for an interview, also informed him of another 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:53.720 candidate was seriously in the running for the head coaching job, 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:56.560 and at that point Rule was compelled to take the 0:07:56.640 --> 0:08:00.760 offer from the Panthers and their owner, David Tepper. It's 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:05.080 reportedly seven years worth up to seventy million dollars Cleveland. 0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:07.920 Brown's still looking for a head coach and a GM, 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:10.239 but it looks like they're gonna hire the coach before 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:14.360 the GM. And what are we talking about here? Josh 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:18.440 McDaniels with the Patriots or Kevin Stefanski, Is that right? 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:20.640 Nickles sound like it. Boots is, by the way, the 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:23.080 same as like, it's like a Pat Schurmer hire. Kevin's 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:27.280 an anonymous offensive quarter it's the Fancy's a OC for 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:30.520 the Vikings, a quarterback coach under Schremer. Yeah, but it's 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:34.080 funny because Stefans he's really tight with Pat Schremer and 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:36.719 Brad Children's, both of who were I think fired by 0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:39.880 the Browns in recent years. So the Browns are turning 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:42.760 to a lot of dudes. How many coaches have the 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:46.360 Browns had under this ownership the Hassles have They had 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:55.160 like nine head coaches here, Yeah, Paul Kitchens, Hugh Jackson, 0:08:56.200 --> 0:09:01.560 Mike Petten, Chazinsky, Schermer, Mangini, Krnell. That's about it. That's 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:04.520 from two thousand and five on Okay, they stuck with 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:08.160 Krinal for a few years. Yeah, that's about it. Yeah, Yeah, 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:11.000 mcle so the guy there, Paul de Podessa, the Jonah 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:13.160 Hill character and money Ball who's kind of running the show. 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:15.880 He wanted to Fancy last year and he wanted McDermott, right, 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:19.400 So he's he's supposed to be the brains behind that. 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:21.640 They should have listened to because even one of those 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:25.360 would have been obviously a better higher than Freddie Kitchens. Yeah, 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:27.400 I mean, and then there's reports like Mary, you know 0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:29.240 that a lot of people they are like McDaniels. The 0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:32.760 reports are between those guys, which means they'll probably something completely. 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:35.719 But then this, this is what happens when when you 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:38.360 have a situation like this where they like two candidates, 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:42.800 and this happened last year with Stefanski. So you have this, 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:47.720 you know, this analytics genius and Paul de Podesco's who says, 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:50.480 you know, I want Stefanski, and then they, I think 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:53.439 ownership came in and said we're going to promote Freddie Kitchens. 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:56.400 That might be the same situation you have here is 0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:59.040 you have a guy who says this is the guy 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:01.840 we want. You didn't listen to me last time, listen 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:05.120 to me this time, will they? And maybe ownership comes 0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:08.040 in and says we want, you know, maybe a shinier 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:10.720 object here in Josh McDaniels club, there are a lot 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:13.600 of coaching stories talk about analytics and that the coach 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:15.839 has to be opened to analytics and the interviewed do 0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:18.720 you think this is a big part of this hiring process, 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:21.800 who will accept analytics or well, it's one thing to 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:25.520 accept it. It felt like Mike McCarthy and I'm not 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:28.079 I don't want to use word desperate, but I think 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:30.800 he realized if I'm going to get back in, I 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:34.040 think I gotta be a little bit more welcoming with analytics. 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:39.080 And to what degree I don't know, because Ron Rivera 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:42.640 strikes me as a guy who's not into analytics. I 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:46.199 don't know how much Belichick's into analytics or Josh McDaniels 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:50.360 is into analytics, but it feels like, you know that 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:54.240 you better be in before you're left behind. And we're 0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:58.280 looking at analytics in basketball and the role that analytics 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:03.400 plays there, the analytics in baseball, So what's happening with 0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:06.480 the NFL. It should happen with the NFL. The question 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:09.640 is how much of the analytics do you buy into 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:12.079 and say that's that's what's gonna guide us, you know 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:15.000 in dark times. Yeah, mc either Ravens are supposed to 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:17.520 be a huge analytics team, like at the Forefront, and 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:21.040 that's why they they've found Lamar's accent. Yeah. One thing 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:23.160 I don't understand about analytics in the NFL I guess 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:25.560 the same as baseball. If a certain team, Let's say 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:27.480 the Browns have analytics of what they should do on 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:30.280 third down, when the team that they're facing have the 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:33.320 exact same analytics about the Browns on what they should 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:36.000 do on third down. If you have a good analytics department, 0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:38.679 you think they would cancel each other out like the 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:41.160 odds are is. Let's say the Browns analytics tell them 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:44.800 that never do anything but quarterbacks sneak on fourth and 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:48.880 one because the analytics say everything else is bad. Now 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:51.320 the other team should know that that's all they're gonna 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:53.360 do and can load up. But we we only hear 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:57.719 about offensive numbers. When it comes to analytics. It's it's 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:01.760 rat I think you. I think you've find defensive analytics 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:06.839 in baseball, but you find offensive numbers for basketball with 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:10.040 analytics and with football, it seems like it's offensive minded 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:11.439 you on time. You also have to have the players 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:12.719 to pull it off. It's one thing to say that 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:14.559 it says you should go for it on fourth and two, 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:16.439 but it's not that simple. Maybe you don't have the 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:18.439 players that can get it on fourth and two like 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:20.680 some other teams. You can't just punch it into a computer. 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:23.760 There's like so many other things involving the stats of it. Yes, 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:28.319 my favorite part is bad stats like tackles are a 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:32.280 bad stat. Yeah, but you can't go my tackle. I 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:34.400 love that. That's the best. The more tackles you have, 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:36.360 it means the other team has the ball more, you 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:38.760 have more offensive type. So if you have one hundred tackles, 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:40.839 that means the other team got every first down and 0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:42.960 you kept tackling. It doesn't say if it's a one 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:44.800 yeard tackle or an eight yard tackle. So it's a 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:48.400 terrible stack. You know what I'm gonna guess the Buffalo 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:51.560 Bills would like to have one more tackle then they 0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:54.120 had in that game against the Texans. I would have 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:57.840 been a tack Well still, you have to tackle somebody 0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:00.240 to sack them. But it's a tub another the bad 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:02.760 teams and the have the bid most tackles. Yes, but 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:06.079 doesn't it mean that your offense thinks so that your 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:08.360 your offense is keeping the defense on the field more 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:11.640 like it doesn't get kind of work both ways, a 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:13.640 team with a lot of tackles, their defense has a 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:15.480 lot of tackles, it means they actually have a bad offense, 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:18.440 not a bad defense mclovin. Well, I could, but if 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:20.320 your defense is bad too, you keep on lading at 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:23.720 first downs, like if if you guy gets first out, 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:26.920 like what came first? Yeah, the team that has all 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:31.200 the tackles or the team that has a bad offense. Well, 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:33.839 it could be either whatever whatever reason. The usually in 0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:36.120 time of possession. But bad defense will definitely lead to 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:37.679 a lot of tacks. Yes, the other team will never 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:39.679 get off the field. Okay, how about this stat leading 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:44.440 the league in passing yardage? Is that a quality stat? Well? 0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:46.480 I think it used to be that that meant you 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:49.280 were behind, so you threw the ball more. Now it 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:52.679 feels like if you're throwing the ball, then you're you're 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:55.560 kind of dictating the flow of the game. Yeah. Can 0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:58.199 you guess who led the NFL and passing yardist this year? 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:02.839 Jameis Winston Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Winston had fifty one hundred 0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:08.360 yards Hell, yes, twenty five hundred one team. Well, no offense. Yes, 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:11.640 but if you have a lot of tackles, any team 0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:15.480 wouldn't you would have If the team would, you would 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:18.200 be tackling less. Actually, if you had a bad defense, 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:20.360 you would be tackling people less. That's why your defense 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:22.800 is bad. So people would be going down the field 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:25.280 and scoring more because you can't tackle anybody. That's why 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:29.240 your defense. Your defense is bad because you can't tackle anyone. Okay, mclovin, 0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:33.680 would you camp? My head exploded there. So you have 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:38.200 the eighty five Bears. No, you have a great defense. 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:41.600 The other offense gets three snaps. You have the Cincinnati Bengals, 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:44.480 worst defense in history. The other team, per drive gets 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:47.360 fourteen plays. The Saints would go like fourteen plays. So 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:49.600 the bad defense has let four team plays are drive 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:52.800 the good defense. So a lot of tackles is bad. Yeah, 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:56.520 you don't want a lot. Okay, give me the defensive analytics. 0:14:57.200 --> 0:15:00.560 That all efficiency, like how how much to you how 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:02.760 much you're shutting down the other offense? Like how quickly 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:05.600 are getting them off the field? The third down conversion, 0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:08.360 now that is become a coin yard. You know who 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:10.960 Warren Sharp is like the fourth right, Apparently a third 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:12.800 down it's the most overrated stat and I'll tell you 0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:15.480 why because it doesn't tell you what the team did 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:18.520 on first and second down. So third and one, if 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:20.720 you have a lot of third downs, you're already in 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:22.840 trouble because you have to get the first down on 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:26.600 first and second, and so a lot of teams wait, wait, wait, wait, yeah, 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:29.920 third down. That didn't clear anything up for me. Third 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:33.000 down is an almost a useless down to third down 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:35.920 conversion though, right, But do you know if you're facing 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:37.600 a lot of third and eights or a lot of 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:39.960 third and one, it doesn't matter. Did you convert? It 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:42.040 does matter because the third and eight is way harder 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:47.320 to convert. So, but but if if you don't convert them, 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:51.080 the drive ends, right, it does, But it's just a 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:53.880 it's a it's a deceiving stat. It doesn't tell you 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:55.560 much if you don't know what they did on first 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:57.600 and seconds. I'd like to apologize to the audience. I 0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:00.520 cannot give you those lives. I'll show you. I'll tell 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:03.680 you five articles from five to thirty eight explaining all this. Yeah, 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:06.800 dates silver side, It's it's much more complicated than we're 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:09.440 making it. Okay. I just don't know what is the 0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:14.720 right stat anymore. Red zone efficiency, final score, final score 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:18.360 is really important. I think Tom Brady had a lengthy 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:24.520 instagram this morning that actually nearly blindsided this show, Tom 0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:29.680 saying that he i guess after a lengthy sort of 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:33.360 exit thank you, is saying that he is coming back, 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:39.000 but with the Patriots. It appears with the Patriots, this 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:43.320 feels like this is shots fired, Like I'm gonna put 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:46.640 it out there, fan base. This is on Bill Belichick. 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.320 I want to be there. I want to I want 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:51.560 I want to be your quarterback. I want to continue 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:54.000 to play. We're gonna get better and we're gonna get healthier, 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:56.000 and I'm gonna leave you to the Promised Land again. 0:16:56.600 --> 0:17:02.760 This is I'm gonna volley across to Belichick. It's Brady 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:08.240 playing doubles against Belichick and Craft right now, Brady singular 0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:10.520 against those two. Yes, for expect what we're saying the 0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:12.240 other day is laying the groundworks, or it doesn't look 0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:13.800 like the bad guys like, Hey, I was all in 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:16.040 and wanting to be back here. It's all Therefore, I'll 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:17.760 talk to the coach and the owner. I was ready 0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:19.119 for another season with the Ringla. What do you want 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:21.920 from me? It makes total sense here he says that 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:25.679 he knows he still has more to prove. No, he doesn't. 0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:30.399 Jared Goff has a little more to prove, you know, 0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:35.239 someone like that, there's like Baker Mayfield has a lot 0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:38.800 more to prove. Tom Brady doesn't have anything else to prove. Yes, 0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:43.040 it could be this awesome chess match that you guys 0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:45.760 are describing right now between Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. 0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:47.800 When's it's like really really great? Or couldn't he just 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:49.880 be trying to end all the speculation and be like, yeah, 0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:55.120 I'm back, but it's not his decision. Like I assume 0:17:55.160 --> 0:17:58.040 he wants to come back. I think in his mind 0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:00.440 he might be saying, I'm gonna say this even though 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:02.399 I know that I'm not going to be back, but 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:04.680 I want to. I want these fans to know, like 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:07.520 he's thanking you for the last twenty years. Why am 0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:13.359 I thanking you for twenty years? No, that doesn't doesn't 0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:16.040 make sense. I think with hey, thank you for the 0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:20.440 twenty years where you supported me, and I'm planning on 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:22.879 coming back and playing for the Patriots. I don't have 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:26.000 to thank you for twenty years. It's just we've been 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:28.399 in it together and will continue to be in it together, 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:30.760 and I'm back and I want to be your quarterback. 0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:34.159 Deep down, he might be thinking, I don't know if 0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:35.879 they're going to buy this stuff, But you know, let 0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:39.639 me throw it out there, Giselle. How do you think 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:45.040 I look in Charger powder blue? Oh, Tommy, you look beautiful. Yes, yes, 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:48.160 keep asking the Boston reaction. If Jimmy Garoppolo in four 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:51.200 weeks as a Super Bowl champion, I mean it's a possibility, 0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:53.879 not a likelihood, it's a possibility. I still would have 0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:56.280 made that decision. I just would have gotten more for 0:18:56.400 --> 0:18:59.879 Jimmy Garoppolo that And if you're going to send him, 0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:04.440 you sent him to the NFC, and Belichick it felt 0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:06.840 like was almost going to hold his hand and lead 0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:08.800 him out to San Francisco. They were going to do 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:10.439 a road trip where he's going to drive him out 0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:13.000 to San Francisco. But you put him far far away. 0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:17.680 And Brady took you to this a couple of year, 0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:20.240 won a couple of Super Bowls with him after that, 0:19:21.240 --> 0:19:25.040 And do I think that you know, it probably came Hey, 0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:27.879 it's either him or me, and Robert Kraft made the 0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:31.640 ultimate decision to keep tom and Belichick then made sure 0:19:31.720 --> 0:19:34.159 that Jimmy Garoppolo got traded to somebody that he trusted. 0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:36.600 And Kyle Shanahan, all right, we'll take a break here. 0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:40.200 We talked about Brady new and there's a few things 0:19:40.240 --> 0:19:42.960 to talk about here. I got a couple of great 0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:47.120 staffs of the day that's even surprised me. Nineteen after 0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:49.600 the hour, This is the Dan Patrick Show.

Uh mclob and he's smiling. 0:21:26.800 --> 0:21:29.600 What do you have proof now of tackles being overrated 0:21:29.640 --> 0:21:32.640 in the NFL? The numbers worked out? Okay? I gave 0:21:32.680 --> 0:21:35.960 you the top five tacklers and their team defensive rank. Okay, 0:21:36.440 --> 0:21:39.400 and just run down a real quick because yeah, Bobby 0:21:39.440 --> 0:21:43.160 Wagner number one, he's a great linebacker. But the Seahawks 0:21:43.240 --> 0:21:45.280 ranked twenty six is here in defense? Their defense really 0:21:45.320 --> 0:21:47.560 fell off and they're on the field. Ill imagine if 0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:55.840 he didn't make all those tackles. Zoom got you. Yeah, Bully, 0:21:55.960 --> 0:21:58.639 If you're high up on the list of tackles in NFL, 0:21:58.720 --> 0:22:00.919
