Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: It's our two on this Thursday.
Speaker 3: Football coming up tonight, It'll be the Buffalo Bills on
Speaker 3: the road against the Miami Dolphins and Miami is favored
Speaker 3: by two and a half. Breaking news last hour, the
Speaker 3: PAC twelve is backish. It's Boise State, san Diego State,
Speaker 3: Fresno State, Colorado State, joining Washington State and Oregon State.
Speaker 3: I guess if you have state in your name, then
Speaker 3: you can join the conference. So Boise State, san Diego State,
Speaker 3: Presno State, Colorado State, Oregon State, Washington State, and probably
Speaker 3: going to add a few more schools and they would
Speaker 3: be joining in twenty twenty six. Now you've got Mountain
Speaker 3: West teams that are leaving and they are contractually bound
Speaker 3: to a seventeen million dollar exit fee. But the PAC
Speaker 3: twelve is also on the hook for at least ten
Speaker 3: million dollar penalty per school that they acquire, part of
Speaker 3: a scheduling agreement that the conference struck with the Mountain West.
Speaker 3: But everybody who's going to get paid. Maybe the PAC
Speaker 3: twelve will then be part of the automatic berths into
Speaker 3: the twelve team playoff, which is what would interest me
Speaker 3: we'll have more on this story coming up. Stat of
Speaker 3: the Day brought to you by Panini America. They are
Speaker 3: the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. And
Speaker 3: we'll get to your phone calls coming up. Poll question
Speaker 3: from hour one once again, if you're just joining us
Speaker 3: Fritzy somehow, some way sort of a willis reed Kirk
Speaker 3: Gibson type moment was able to get to work today
Speaker 3: as he has a cold, and we're not sure if
Speaker 3: that means he's sick, that he has a cold. I said,
Speaker 3: he's not sick. But you're on the doorstep. You're on
Speaker 3: death's doorstep right now.
Speaker 4: Like the day before, the day before.
Speaker 3: Yes, King, Yeah, but you won't miss it. Meet Friday tomorrow.
Speaker 2: I'd be highly unlikely, I think, But Monday, who knows?
Speaker 2: Who knows? All right, see and clean up Hour one
Speaker 2: If you can, please.
Speaker 5: Do you consider having a cold being sick?
Speaker 2: Right now?
Speaker 6: Sixty two percent of the audience say yes. Also, this
Speaker 6: is shockingly high number for the no answers there. Also,
Speaker 6: is it a quarterback's job to make sure his top
Speaker 6: receiver gets more touches?
Speaker 5: Slash is targeted more? Right now? Fifty four percent of
Speaker 5: the audience say yes, yeah.
Speaker 3: This came up because Kyler Murray missed Marvin Harrison Junior
Speaker 3: for a game winning touchdown pass against Buffalo, and I
Speaker 3: would think it would be hard to miss or not
Speaker 3: factor in your top five receiver, your you know, potential
Speaker 3: Rookie of the Year candidate and by all accounts, one
Speaker 3: of the best receivers to come out of college in.
Speaker 2: A long time.
Speaker 3: They target him three times against Buffalo, he was open,
Speaker 3: wide open for what would have been a game winning score,
Speaker 3: and then Kyler Murray had this to say about not
Speaker 3: getting Marvin Harrison the ball or they do it fayaway Martin.
Speaker 7: I wouldn't say they was taking them away. I think,
Speaker 7: you know, I'm just as a quarterback. Obviously, you go
Speaker 7: with your reads. Sometimes the ball goes to them, but
Speaker 7: that's not you know, it's not my job.
Speaker 2: Obviously.
Speaker 7: You know, I have a I have a sense and
Speaker 7: a feel for guys when they don't get the ball,
Speaker 7: when they're you know, when they are getting the ball.
Speaker 7: But you know, I'll leave that up to Drew. You know,
Speaker 7: Drew always, you know, he tells me, don't worry about
Speaker 7: that type of stuff. Just keep playing a game and
Speaker 7: you know, get the ball to where the ball is
Speaker 7: supposed to go.
Speaker 3: Offensive coordinator Drew Petsing, Hey, don't blame me, blame him. Nah,
Speaker 3: it's got to start with you. That's you take ownership,
Speaker 3: and you've been around long enough that you can take
Speaker 3: ownership of this to say, you know what, something that
Speaker 3: Drew and I are going to get together to make
Speaker 3: sure that we get him the ball. You know, it's
Speaker 3: incumbent upon me to get the ball to our playmakers,
Speaker 3: to our best players, and Marvin certainly is one of
Speaker 3: those players. I can do a better job and then
Speaker 3: it goes away. But when you say, hey, not my fault,
Speaker 3: offensive coordinators fall and they got the Rams coming up
Speaker 3: this weekend, I'm guessing Marvin Harrison is going to have
Speaker 3: more than three targets in this game, all right, eight
Speaker 3: seven to seven to three DP show email address dpat
Speaker 3: Danpatrick dot com, Twitter handle a DP show.
Speaker 4: Yes.
Speaker 6: See, I do feel bad for Kyler because he's in
Speaker 6: that spot where he we're breaking down every fifth word
Speaker 6: of his like soundbites, because he said three things wrong
Speaker 6: just in that twenty seconds or whatever it is. But
Speaker 6: that's kind of where he is right now on week
Speaker 6: two of this season, that's tough.
Speaker 3: Yes, but the quarterback has to fall on the sword occasionally,
Speaker 3: even if it's not your fault, even if a receiver
Speaker 3: breaks the other way the wrong way, or your offensive
Speaker 3: line allows six sacks. You know, Hey, don't blame me,
Speaker 3: blame them. You have to swallow it sometimes. And that's
Speaker 3: what he has to learn. He should already have learned
Speaker 3: how to do that, just to say, you know what,
Speaker 3: we are going to do better. We're gonna, you know,
Speaker 3: we're gonna come up with a great game plan. And hey,
Speaker 3: give Buffalo credit. If you want to do that, you
Speaker 3: can do that too. But he's got to learn, you know,
Speaker 3: fall on the sword occasionally. Here Bob in California. Hi Bob,
Speaker 3: what's on your mind today?
Speaker 8: Hey Dan, thanks for having me on. Longtime listener. I
Speaker 8: love your public safety display that you have in front
Speaker 8: of you. I always appreciated that and wanted to tell
Speaker 8: you that. But Kyler, we're season ticket holders for the Cards,
Speaker 8: and I don't remember Warner saying that about Fitzgerald. I mean,
Speaker 8: he always found him. And the thing is, nobody wants
Speaker 8: to say this about Kyler. He just can't see over
Speaker 8: the line. And I've been saying that since they drafted him,
Speaker 8: and I go to the games and I get a
Speaker 8: little frustrated because he runs around a lot and he's
Speaker 8: pretty quick, but once in a while he can't see
Speaker 8: downfield and he's playing the game. He's a pro, but
Speaker 8: he's a number one draft choice, He's getting paid a
Speaker 8: lot of money. There's a lot on his shoulders. But
Speaker 8: he should take responsibility. I think your analysis was right
Speaker 8: on point, and I hope he hears people talking about
Speaker 8: this and take responsibility and lead the team. That's what
Speaker 8: he should be doing. And that's my opinion.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Bob, thank you for the phone call. And
Speaker 3: once again people have already brought up social media wise,
Speaker 3: oh you go back aways with Kyler.
Speaker 2: You don't like him.
Speaker 3: And we settled that what happened at the super Bowl
Speaker 3: when he was promoting Gatorade and did a horrible job,
Speaker 3: we moved past that. We had him on a couple
Speaker 3: of times, we laughed about that. It's just he's one
Speaker 3: of those guys who was so great in high school,
Speaker 3: so great in college, and you can get by without
Speaker 3: putting in all the time and effort. Michael Vick famously
Speaker 3: did this. He didn't put in the time when he
Speaker 3: was with the Falcons. I just want him to be
Speaker 3: able to maximize an incredible amount of potential. And I
Speaker 3: don't know if he ever will. I think we'll look
Speaker 3: back on his career and probably say it's a disappointment
Speaker 3: because he does have all of the talent. And yes,
Speaker 3: is it tough for him to see over the line
Speaker 3: of scrimmage. Yes, I can understand it if people feel
Speaker 3: like that's a big problem for him. He's used his
Speaker 3: legs his entire football career. When you get to the NFL,
Speaker 3: you got to use your mind. That's what separates these guys.
Speaker 3: They all have talent. It's who is going to put
Speaker 3: in the time, who processes, who's smart? You know, who's
Speaker 3: staying the extra hour, the extra day, whatever it is,
Speaker 3: put in the time. Because everybody has talent, some more
Speaker 3: than others, and you got to put in the time
Speaker 3: and the effort.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that's one of those things too that
Speaker 6: people like misread say about the show or something like, oh,
Speaker 6: you don't like Kyler because of that interview that he gave.
Speaker 6: If anything, I root for more because of that interview
Speaker 6: you gave. I'm like, thank you, that was awesome. It
Speaker 6: was like one of the best moments in show history.
Speaker 6: Was you sitting there being like.
Speaker 2: Uh uh, that was awesome.
Speaker 5: That was great, thank you.
Speaker 2: I don't know if it was one of the great moments.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, it was awesome. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 6: It's so much better than him being like, well, you know,
Speaker 6: right now, I'm just taking it one day at a time.
Speaker 6: I really haven't made any decisions yet. But if he
Speaker 6: had handled it well, that would have been boring as hell. Instead,
Speaker 6: he you know, threw up all over himself on the show.
Speaker 6: It's like, this is awesome.
Speaker 3: Okay, Marvin, was you stumbling through Deebo Samuel interview a
Speaker 3: great moment?
Speaker 2: Yes, either it's got to be really great or really bad.
Speaker 3: But you always complain about how uncomfortable you were. And
Speaker 3: then I said, hey, you ask him a question. But
Speaker 3: so you say that was a great moment for you.
Speaker 9: Yes, oh okay, but oh the day it happened, oh,
Speaker 9: I was not in the best of moods it.
Speaker 3: But looking back on it, that was a tough one.
Speaker 3: That's because he hung me out to dry. But once again,
Speaker 3: we moved past it. We joked about it, and he
Speaker 3: just wasn't ready for the moment there, and I was
Speaker 3: trying to help him the best I could.
Speaker 2: But it doesn't matter. Now.
Speaker 3: I want to see greatness. I don't want to sit
Speaker 3: here and go, oh my god, this guy is going
Speaker 3: to be a bust. So this guy I want to
Speaker 3: see the best. That'd be a great story.
Speaker 4: But all this.
Speaker 3: We get so caught up and it becomes something larger
Speaker 3: than it's right there.
Speaker 2: And this is what I saw with Kyler Murray. That's it.
Speaker 3: It's not, you know, let's have this tentacles that go
Speaker 3: out a couple of years there. It's not I have
Speaker 3: nothing against Kyler Murray. It's like people were saying to me,
Speaker 3: you know, you were too critical of Tom Brady, and
Speaker 3: I go, no, I wasn't. We were asked a question.
Speaker 3: We ask each other a question, how did Tom do?
Speaker 3: And I told you I didn't think he had a
Speaker 3: good debut. It is the biggest contract in sports broadcasting history.
Speaker 3: He's the greatest quarterback of all time. And what did
Speaker 3: I say? He knows football, he has to understand TV.
Speaker 3: If Tom called me privately, I would have said the
Speaker 3: exact same thing that I said to you.
Speaker 2: I have nothing against Tom Brady. How could you.
Speaker 3: But when it comes to broadcasting, as if Lebron makes
Speaker 3: his debut against Sacramento, everybody had an opinion on that,
Speaker 3: So why can't we have an opinion on Tom Brady broadcasting.
Speaker 3: He's going to be broadcasting the Super Bowl. It's in
Speaker 3: that moment.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 2: Will he get better?
Speaker 3: Yes, But then you have people who are sticking up
Speaker 3: for Tom Brady and saying, you know, people calling him
Speaker 3: the worst broadcaster in history.
Speaker 2: First of all, I didn't.
Speaker 3: I just said he has to learn TV, the cadence,
Speaker 3: the synchronicity, his voice is going to be an issue.
Speaker 3: But I said he must attack the play the game
Speaker 3: the way he did when he played quarterback. You cannot
Speaker 3: sit back and let you know the game kind of
Speaker 3: come to you. He's got to be ahead of the game. Now,
Speaker 3: you can recap a play if you want, but I
Speaker 3: want you ahead of the game. I want you to
Speaker 3: be on your toes. I want you to be Tom
Speaker 3: Brady the quarterback.
Speaker 1: That's all.
Speaker 3: There's nothing to do with Oh my gosh, you're going
Speaker 3: out of your way to criticize. If Tom can't take this,
Speaker 3: he should not be in the business. Because everybody's going
Speaker 3: to have an opinion every game there'll be a referendum
Speaker 3: on Tom Brady. I just want him to tell stories.
Speaker 3: I want him to be Tom Brady the quarterback as
Speaker 3: an analyst. Don't wait, be aggressive and he'll learn he should.
Speaker 3: But Kyler Murray, I have no beef with Tom. I
Speaker 3: just gave him an honor. That's an honest opinion. Now
Speaker 3: I could have come out and said I thought he
Speaker 3: did pretty well.
Speaker 10: Well.
Speaker 3: That would that wouldn't be honest. Do I think he's
Speaker 3: going to get better? I do, because he'll understand. He
Speaker 3: was kind of frozen at times because he didn't know
Speaker 3: how much he could talk, what to say and understanding
Speaker 3: fifteen seconds, twenty seconds, then letting Kevin Burkhart, the play
Speaker 3: by play guy, take over. But man, people get it's
Speaker 3: like it's one moment. It's okay, we can be critical.
Speaker 3: I'm not going out of my way for a hot take.
Speaker 3: But people have that feeling of everybody's got a hot take. No,
Speaker 3: not everybody does. Sometimes it's just I've been doing this
Speaker 3: forty years. I gave you a real take, not hot,
Speaker 3: not trying to troll you.
Speaker 2: Nothing.
Speaker 3: Whenever I talk about Caitlin Clark, I'm not trying to
Speaker 3: troll you. I'm giving you an honest opinion of somebody
Speaker 3: who knows basketball and knows women's basketball as well, and
Speaker 3: the coverage that it deserves. Like we didn't just start
Speaker 3: with Caitlyn Clark when she got to the WNBA or Angel.
Speaker 3: I'm giving you just an honest opinion, and that's that's
Speaker 3: how we do it. Let me take a break. Eli
Speaker 3: Manning is going to join us, and uh, let's see
Speaker 3: a little later on. Ross Tucker will stop by as well.
Speaker 3: We'll come up with a poll question for hour two
Speaker 3: as well. Just getting started here, Dan and The Dan

Speaker 3: He's Eli Manning, two times Super Bowl MVP, and today
Speaker 3: hundreds of New York City street cart vendors are ditching
Speaker 3: their New York pretzels for kings Hawaiian soft pretzel bites. They,
Speaker 3: of course, are big sponsor King Jawaian. They're going to
Speaker 3: bring us meet Friday, coming up tomorrow. But look who's
Speaker 3: in the heart of New York City. It's Eli Manning
Speaker 3: joining us on the program. How are Eli?
Speaker 13: I'm doing great, Dan, How are you? I gotta get
Speaker 13: you to come visit my card. You know you gotta
Speaker 13: get some soft pretzel bites here.
Speaker 3: Well, we're going to have that tomorrow. Kings Hawaiian is
Speaker 3: coming to us and then they're going to bring that.
Speaker 3: It looks like you're running a lemonade stand here.
Speaker 13: It is. That is the idea, except it's Kings of
Speaker 13: Wan soft pretzel bites instead. And I'm in the middle
Speaker 13: of New York City and this is what I do.
Speaker 13: You know, New York brought me so much joy and
Speaker 13: their support. I want to give back by giving out
Speaker 13: some self prep the bikes.
Speaker 3: You look at you, you're just a man of the people. Okay,
Speaker 3: But do you ever run into a fan who's mad
Speaker 3: at you for something that you may have done during
Speaker 3: your career?
Speaker 13: You know, I think five years being retired, they've forgotten.
Speaker 13: So maybe how they forget about all the interceptions, the
Speaker 13: terrible games, the losses. They always remember the good stuff,
Speaker 13: and so I you know, the same thing happens to quarterbacks.
Speaker 13: You know, five years of my I lost the game,
Speaker 13: a game I thought we won.
Speaker 3: Everyone I was watching the Manning cast and I was wondering,
Speaker 3: with your brother and Bill Belichick there in the same room,
Speaker 3: who is more of a football nerd Peyton or coach Belichick?
Speaker 13: Oh man, I got to I mean, I think I
Speaker 13: gotta go with Belichick.
Speaker 4: Just.
Speaker 13: I mean, he's just an encyclopedia of knowledge on football
Speaker 13: and everything. You could hear him in the TV timeouts.
Speaker 13: There's someone in his room that he's talking with. He's like, Hey,
Speaker 13: they're going like bear defense, This is not real sound.
Speaker 13: I don't like this move like he is. He is,
Speaker 13: you know, constantly just game planning, analyzing, looking at everything,
Speaker 13: seeing things that are unique or different, or oh this
Speaker 13: is a really good and so I mean he is
Speaker 13: just right in the middle of it. Peyton during the
Speaker 13: during the TV timeouts, he's eating like a chicken parm
Speaker 13: sandwich or like you know, he's buffalo wings. Just you know,
Speaker 13: he's always got sauce on his face. He's a disaster.
Speaker 3: But he was offended when Brandon and Ik dropped that
Speaker 3: ball like it it was if he was still playing it.
Speaker 3: It hurts him sometimes to watch bad football.
Speaker 4: It does.
Speaker 13: It does hurt him, and especially when a guy's fit
Speaker 13: out of training camp. You sit out, you sign this big, great,
Speaker 13: big contract, and then you drop, you drop past this
Speaker 13: like what you know, Hey, let's get the contract done.
Speaker 13: I think he's just mad at the whole situation that
Speaker 13: that the idea of like missing training camp blows his
Speaker 13: mind to him.
Speaker 4: He looked forward to training camp. He's like, finally I
Speaker 4: get to go.
Speaker 13: I think it'sould be a longer training camp, we'd have
Speaker 13: longer football season.
Speaker 4: And that's his mentality.
Speaker 13: So I think if he sense it, if someone doesn't
Speaker 13: have that same mentality, he just can't resonate.
Speaker 3: There was a sneaky line that you know, Belichick talked
Speaker 3: about going to those Super Bowl parties after you lose
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl and then you go. I never went
Speaker 3: to one of those, and it was it was an
Speaker 3: awesome line just to see Belichick's response to it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was.
Speaker 13: I almost say like, hey, you know, Bill, were you
Speaker 13: invited the Peyton's loser, you know, super Bowl party? But
Speaker 13: I bit my tongue. I can't say that the coach
Speaker 13: Belichick too much respect for him. He won to me
Speaker 13: the other you know, super Bowls, and but yeah, I
Speaker 13: mean Peyton. I was surprised, like you know about having
Speaker 13: everybody had to lost the championship to get invited to
Speaker 13: this party.
Speaker 4: So I guess I'm glad I wasn't invited.
Speaker 3: He's Eli Manning, two times Super Bowl MVP, joining his
Speaker 3: courtesy of Kings Hawaiian their new soft prencil bites, and
Speaker 3: he's in the heart of Manhattan's Flat Iron district. Today,
Speaker 3: Connor Murray talked about, hey, you know, the game plan
Speaker 3: didn't call for us to get the ball to Marvin Harrison.
Speaker 3: He said, you know, like pointed the finger at the
Speaker 3: offensive coordinator. He said, it's not on the quarterback, okay,
Speaker 3: And I criticized him because even if it's not on you,
Speaker 3: it is on you. You're the quarterback, you own it,
Speaker 3: it's your team. But how do you get the ball
Speaker 3: to somebody who everybody knows that you want to get
Speaker 3: the ball too?
Speaker 13: Well, I think there's always a couple staple plays where
Speaker 13: you can put them, you know, put your receiver to
Speaker 13: a certain spot, you know, and this is a no
Speaker 13: matter basically, no matter what the coverage is, no matter
Speaker 13: what the defense. You know, we can get him the
Speaker 13: ball on the outside on a short end or on
Speaker 13: a hitch route, on a plant route, and it's not
Speaker 13: guaranteed it's going on there. They could dictate the coverage
Speaker 13: to take you away. But you know, I don't. I
Speaker 13: don't think that Marvin Harrison Junior is getting double teams
Speaker 13: on every play right now. I don't think, you know,
Speaker 13: as a rookie hadn't played a game, I don't think
Speaker 13: you're gonna draw that attention. And sometimes it's just it
Speaker 13: is truly just based on you know, we want to
Speaker 13: get them the ball.
Speaker 4: If they're playing Manda man, you're going to go to
Speaker 4: your guy.
Speaker 13: But it just depends on on what the coverage is,
Speaker 13: or you have some special plays to get them on
Speaker 13: some play action. Those are the ones a little harder
Speaker 13: and we have a play action a two man route,
Speaker 13: maybe they play a different coverage or he gets covered
Speaker 13: up by the by his own coverage. But there are
Speaker 13: a couple of plays in this you know, three step
Speaker 13: five step passing game where you can't get the ball to,
Speaker 13: you know, to certain guys.
Speaker 3: How often would receivers come back to you in the
Speaker 3: huddle and say I'm open.
Speaker 13: They you know, we have pretty good receivers. If you
Speaker 13: it's one of those feels if you ask them, hey,
Speaker 13: were you open on the last play, the answer is
Speaker 13: always yes.
Speaker 4: Like they don't they don't even think.
Speaker 13: About what the play was. They don't even it's yes,
Speaker 13: that's just their mentality. But there are there are, you know,
Speaker 13: times we're on the sideline. They'll come up and they'll
Speaker 13: be like, hey, this guy cannot hang with me. They're
Speaker 13: they're pressing it. I'm running by him. Or they'll come
Speaker 13: and say, hey, this guy's getting antsy. We need to
Speaker 13: double move them. Like normally they have pretty good suggestions,
Speaker 13: and you know, there and there were times there were
Speaker 13: maybe a few times on the sideline where I worked,
Speaker 13: you know, worked the other side of a man. The
Speaker 13: man I threw a you know, a fade stop to
Speaker 13: your team mix, and I would ask like Victor, Hey, Victor,
Speaker 13: did you get opened on the fade on the other side,
Speaker 13: And sometimes he would say like no, not not really,
Speaker 13: not really. He kind of covered me up on that one.
Speaker 13: But you know, next time, I definitely don't beat him.
Speaker 13: I'm prepared for the next one. So they don't want
Speaker 13: you to think don't go to him by any means.
Speaker 3: Patients for rookie quarterbacks like, at what point do we
Speaker 3: get a sense of what kind of season it's going
Speaker 3: to be for these rookie quarterbacks.
Speaker 13: Unfortunately, I think it takes, like a good it kind
Speaker 13: of takes to the halfway point. I really do feel
Speaker 13: it takes that long to get a sense of of
Speaker 13: your offense, of what's going on, the comfort level for
Speaker 13: the quarterback to maybe have an honest conversation with the
Speaker 13: offensive coordinator being like, hey, I really like this play,
Speaker 13: or if there's a play that the coordinator really likes,
Speaker 13: for the quarterback to be like, hey, I'm just not
Speaker 13: feeling it yet. Like at first, you just kind of
Speaker 13: like what the coordinator likes and you don't know any better.
Speaker 13: And then as the season goes along, you start to
Speaker 13: you know, kind of get your favorite plays, You get
Speaker 13: your favorite concepts, you understanding the protections more and the
Speaker 13: rhythm of certain plays, and you start, you know, getting
Speaker 13: the nerve to say, hey, let's let's just run this
Speaker 13: play like this is my favorite play, Let's run it.
Speaker 4: Three times and just change up the formation a little
Speaker 4: bit so I can get completions, I can get into
Speaker 4: a rhythm.
Speaker 13: And I really do think it just takes It takes about,
Speaker 13: you know, a halfway point to get that confidence and
Speaker 13: to get the feel and the speeds of the game.
Speaker 3: I look at demeanor of quarterbacks, young quarterbacks, because chances
Speaker 3: are they had a really successful college career. They're not
Speaker 3: used to, hey, I just threw a pick six. Now
Speaker 3: I got to go back out like you show me
Speaker 3: more after a pick six or an interception than you
Speaker 3: do after a touchdown. I want to see how you
Speaker 3: go back out there after doing something like that. You know,
Speaker 3: I don't know how important that is for you. If
Speaker 3: you're looking at somebody's head is down or they go
Speaker 3: out there and they're like all right, come on, let's go.
Speaker 2: That was one play. Let's get it back.
Speaker 4: No, I think it's a good thing to look at.
Speaker 13: And also just you know, if if they make a
Speaker 13: bad play, they do a bad interception that next series,
Speaker 13: do they get gunshot. Are they are they going to
Speaker 13: come out and still you know, rip this this skinny
Speaker 13: post on time or are they going to be like
Speaker 13: a little hesitant to go to the checkdown a little
Speaker 13: hesitant and not not you know, kate their eyes down
Speaker 13: the field and said just you know, find my completions
Speaker 13: instead of you know, hey, if something's open, I'm still
Speaker 13: gonna rip this.
Speaker 4: I still got confidence I can make these throws.
Speaker 13: And so the you know, being being kind of cautious
Speaker 13: is not a great thing, uh as an NFL quarterback,
Speaker 13: and usually leads to more mistakes. Now you're maybe not
Speaker 13: throwing it to your first read who is open, but
Speaker 13: it's a longer throw and you're going to check down
Speaker 13: versus man, which is not great and you can lead
Speaker 13: the more problems. So it's something to look forward to
Speaker 13: and make sure they don't get conservative, they don't get
Speaker 13: gun shy, and they still feel they can go and
Speaker 13: and uh, you know, ball get the ball out on Tom.
Speaker 3: Are you contractually obligated to say nice things about the
Speaker 3: New York Giants play this year?
Speaker 13: I'm I'm not obligated to say nice things. I think
Speaker 13: after week one, just you know, understanding, I've been in
Speaker 13: this situation. I've had a bad week one before. I've
Speaker 13: thrown three interceptions in week one. We've had losses, and
Speaker 13: we've we've started going too and in a Super Bowl
Speaker 13: year we started going to and and I had to
Speaker 13: go down to wash In and down at halftime and
Speaker 13: how to come back, when to get on a little
Speaker 13: wind streak. I also know it can change quickly. You can,
Speaker 13: you can get your confidence bat you can get on
Speaker 13: a wind streak. So that's what I'm always optimistic and
Speaker 13: and I'm a fan of the Giants. I'm a fan
Speaker 13: of the coaches. I know him personally. I see how
Speaker 13: hard they work. I'm a fan of Daniel Jones and
Speaker 13: what in this rooting form to do well. And I'm
Speaker 13: going to be optimistic in that.
Speaker 3: Great to talk to you have fun down there in
Speaker 3: the Flat Iron District. It's King Sawaiian. These soft pretzel
Speaker 3: bites the first ever snack by King Sawaiian great people
Speaker 3: that have become one of our favorite sponsors. Good to
Speaker 3: talk to you, Eli, Thanks for joining us.
Speaker 4: All right, Dan, thanks so much. A lot of fun
Speaker 4: all right.
Speaker 3: Uh, you know, he's got his cooking apron on down there,
Speaker 3: beautiful day in New York City, Flat Iron District, hard
Speaker 3: of New York City, cooking up some grub there for
Speaker 3: whoever comes by.
Speaker 2: Yes, bully, I thought came up on the screen.
Speaker 5: It was like one of those green screen backdrops.
Speaker 2: Yes, Cgi, he's on the.
Speaker 10: Corner in New York City and there's a bus behind
Speaker 10: him just pounding smoke into his area.
Speaker 2: Man of the people. Yeah, yeah, No, imagine you're walking. Ok,
Speaker 2: Hey there's Eli Manning buns.
Speaker 3: No, that's when you go, God, what happened to Eli Manning?
Speaker 3: He's got a little pop up there, you know, man,
Speaker 3: what happened to him?
Speaker 2: After his career? It's selling sandwiches here.
Speaker 3: Due to injury concerns, the preseason is more about kind
Speaker 3: of filling up your roster, making sure that you get
Speaker 3: guys to see if they can make your roster. Your
Speaker 3: starters aren't playing very much, and I was starting to
Speaker 3: wonder about this with the lack of touchdown passes in
Speaker 3: Week one. The number of passing touchdowns around the NFL
Speaker 3: has dropped four consecutive seasons. In Week one back in
Speaker 3: twenty twenty one, sixty one touchdowns week one. Last week
Speaker 3: we had thirty four. And I know it's not an
Speaker 3: exact science. There are variables that are going to play
Speaker 3: a role here, but it feels like getting your offense
Speaker 3: ready for the regular season is tougher, a slower start
Speaker 3: than getting your defense ready for the regular season. But
Speaker 3: these numbers, these are alarming. Sixty one touchdowns in twenty nineteen,
Speaker 3: fifty two in twenty twenty, sixty one in twenty twenty one,
Speaker 3: fifty one in twenty twenty two, thirty seven, last year,
Speaker 3: thirty four.
Speaker 2: This year.
Speaker 3: Stat of your day, sat of the day, that past
Speaker 3: stat of the day, stat of the day.
Speaker 2: You're coming here comes that? What stat of the day.
Speaker 3: I'm brought to you by pannadi America, the Official the
Speaker 3: official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. Now, I
Speaker 3: do think defenses, and this had to happen because eventually
Speaker 3: you got to figure out how do we stop them
Speaker 3: or contain them? And you know, well, maybe we're seeing
Speaker 3: more intricate defenses, better athletes on defense, a better concept
Speaker 3: of what they need to do on defense. But I
Speaker 3: do think slow starts. I'd be curious if we looked
Speaker 3: at week four touchdowns touchdown passes, and we did that
Speaker 3: the last five years, and then do it in week
Speaker 3: four this year. Maybe you know the offenses by having
Speaker 3: a month under their belt, maybe we're going to see
Speaker 3: more progress there. But those are alarming numbers, thirty four
Speaker 3: touchdown passes when they had sixty one in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 3: We'll talk to Ross Tucker about that. He'll join us
Speaker 3: coming up next hour. Let's see Chuck in Illinois. Hi, Chuck,
Speaker 3: what's on your mind today?
Speaker 8: Good morning Dan in Illinois?
Speaker 4: The pond counts very high? Is Fritzie? Sure? It's cold?
Speaker 4: Not allergies? Fritzy?
Speaker 2: Do you have allergies? Not that I'm aware of.
Speaker 10: I never went for a battery of shockingly of tests
Speaker 10: without allergies.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's allergies. I think it's just so
Speaker 2: there you go, Chuck.
Speaker 14: But at the same time, what's the color of his mucus?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 2: I don't think we want to go there. Chunk, Actually
Speaker 2: don't have any mucus? Okay, not yet? Yeah, that seems
Speaker 2: predicting to be on Monday.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's definitely going to happen Monday through the
Speaker 3: following Wednesday.
Speaker 2: We've we've been through the steps here.
Speaker 9: I appreciate you guys putting the pots on it and
Speaker 9: wait to see how sicky that get in two three days.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's the the grieving process here of Fritzy
Speaker 3: that he's sick ish.
Speaker 5: You're aware of how colds work.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, I know what's happening, but you got to
Speaker 3: take care of yourself this week.
Speaker 2: I got a soup, invitamin C and rest. All right,
Speaker 2: thank you, uh Griffin and Cincinnati High Griff.
Speaker 4: Two quick things.
Speaker 14: One Fritzy gargle hot water in salt. There is no
Speaker 14: copay involved. It is a miracle drug. It is free
Speaker 14: of charge and it will solve all your problems.
Speaker 2: Okay, Uh?
Speaker 14: Two Dan with Eli Man, I don't know how many
Speaker 14: people expected him to be good in the media. I'm
Speaker 14: not sure if that was a big thing with him
Speaker 14: as a player. But are there any former athletes that
Speaker 14: have surprised you about how well they turned out to
Speaker 14: be in the media? And then maybe on the flip side,
Speaker 14: any athletes she thought might do well and just didn't
Speaker 14: end up doing all that great splash.
Speaker 2: All right, thank you, Griff Romo surprised me.
Speaker 3: I didn't know he was going to come out of
Speaker 3: the gate because we had heard him being interviewed after games.
Speaker 3: And really that's not a great sample size of how
Speaker 3: somebody's going to be in the media. I mean, there
Speaker 3: are guys who didn't talk to the media. Sterling Sharpe
Speaker 3: famously didn't talk to the media, but he was really
Speaker 3: good when he got into the media. Certain guys that
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think, who comes to mind here? I
Speaker 3: remember Joe Montana and Jim Brown and Joe Namath obviously
Speaker 3: Hall of famers, but I didn't think they were They
Speaker 3: were good in the met after they retired. Steve Young
Speaker 3: I thought was made for the media. I find him
Speaker 3: one of my more favorite interviews. Randy Moss. I didn't
Speaker 3: know if he would be good, but when he wants
Speaker 3: to be good, he can be great. He can tell
Speaker 3: you stories, he's animated. I mean, there's so many dan
Speaker 3: Orlofsky out of nowhere for the Mothership.
Speaker 2: Surprised me.
Speaker 3: Who else comes to mind? I think Julian Edelman is
Speaker 3: really good. I think a bigger platform. I think he's
Speaker 3: got a sense of humor, He's not afraid of making
Speaker 3: fun of Brady, and he's got stories to tell, and
Speaker 3: really comes down to how much do you want to
Speaker 3: put yourself out there?
Speaker 2: A lot of times it'll be guys.
Speaker 3: Who weren't marquee players, but they know they have to
Speaker 3: kind of go above and beyond the call of duty.
Speaker 2: They have to give you more than what the star does.
Speaker 3: A lot of times, and we would have athletes come in,
Speaker 3: her coaches come in, and depending on their their success
Speaker 3: level as a coach or player, it kind of felt
Speaker 3: like they were giving you that kind of information or
Speaker 3: analysis energy based off Hey, I'm going to be a
Speaker 3: future Hall of Famer or hey I'm just going job
Speaker 3: to job. I might get more out of that coach
Speaker 3: or that player than I would out of somebody who
Speaker 3: had more of a higher reputation there. Yes, Marv Chase
Speaker 3: Daniel also surprising. Yeah, working hard, but he's putting in
Speaker 3: the time. You know, he's You got to get comfortable
Speaker 3: with questions answers. What can you say? How are you
Speaker 3: going to say it? Are you funny?
Speaker 2: Interesting?
Speaker 3: Like Ross Tucker. Ross was a journeyman lineman he's great.
Speaker 3: He's so much fun.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: Golick, My Golick made a career out of this and
Speaker 3: he wasn't a great player, But you make that decision
Speaker 3: of I can laugh at myself, I can tell stories,
Speaker 3: and that's what I tell you. Know, Tony Dungee is
Speaker 3: a Hall of Famer. Rodney Harrison should be a Hall
Speaker 3: of Famer. And I said, you have to share, and
Speaker 3: you're so used to not sharing. Tony would go to
Speaker 3: a press conference trying not to say something, and I said,
Speaker 3: you're going to have to be critical at some point
Speaker 3: with certain things. And he eventually learned to do that,
Speaker 3: but it was difficult because you're trying to get them
Speaker 3: to give you something without that feeling of I'm extracting
Speaker 3: a tooth from them.
Speaker 2: Yes, Marv.
Speaker 9: You also see guys like Ryan Clark and Greg Olsen
Speaker 9: start their media careers while there's while they're still playing.
Speaker 9: Do you think more players should do that at the
Speaker 9: end of their careers, start to kind of shadow people
Speaker 9: and go to ESPN during the off season just to
Speaker 9: get some reps in before they go into it full time.
Speaker 2: Yeah. A lot of guys have done that. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: that's great.
Speaker 3: Draymond Green's doing that that you're seeing like Michael Strahan
Speaker 3: did that. Strayhan, I mean I was around him, covered him,
Speaker 3: and then didn't realize that he was going to be
Speaker 3: like he's on Good Morning America. I mean he's got
Speaker 3: a that's a big social profile. Who's our guy with
Speaker 3: the CBS, NA Merlson, good career, great postcar awesome, awesome.
Speaker 3: You know you see that. That's what Tiki Barber should
Speaker 3: have had. And Tiki was ahead of the curve where
Speaker 3: he was already doing stuff for NBC. Boomers sisin got
Speaker 3: in and knew what to do doing radio and then
Speaker 3: doing CBS. Chris Collins were the same way getting in.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's the thing. Getting those reps understanding TV.
Speaker 3: It goes back to what I said about Tom Brady.
Speaker 3: He obviously knows football. Now the hard part you have
Speaker 3: to learn TV. We'll take a break. The PAC twelve
Speaker 3: is back. What exactly does that mean?
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 3: App Mention this earlier PAC twelve is rebuilding the conference
Speaker 3: Boise State San Diego State, Fresno State, Colorado State set
Speaker 3: to join Oregon State, Washington State for the twenty twenty
Speaker 3: six school year. Ross Dellinger's job to cover college football
Speaker 3: and the Younghu Sports National College Football reporter joins us SO.
Speaker 3: PAC twelve is back ish. What's it mean?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they are back.
Speaker 10: They're back at six dans to the six pack right now,
Speaker 10: but they they need two more at least at least
Speaker 10: two more teams to reach eight members, which is the
Speaker 10: would get them to the NCAA minimum to be designated
Speaker 10: as an FBS conference. And they need those. They need
Speaker 10: to get to eight members by twenty twenty six, and
Speaker 10: then from there, you know, they'll probably be there'll be
Speaker 10: a reinstated as a guess, a new group of five conference.
Speaker 10: At that point, you'd have six of them, right, Sunbelt,
Speaker 10: Mountain West, the American Athletic Conference, the MAC, and Conference USA.
Speaker 10: So they're back. They're back for now. It'll be interesting
Speaker 10: as we go to see what kind of TV deal
Speaker 10: they get, you know, and what kind of marketability the
Speaker 10: PAC twelve has as a reband rebranded, kind of reimagined
Speaker 10: group of programs.
Speaker 2: All right, So who would they add to get up
Speaker 2: to eight schools.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think plenty of options out there. I think
Speaker 10: the new PAC twelve wants to be sort of known
Speaker 10: as the best of the rest, so to speak, all
Speaker 10: of those outside of the Power Conference schools. So when
Speaker 10: it comes to brand power DAN television markets on the
Speaker 10: field success, you look at all those things. I think
Speaker 10: they probably will look eastward now in to the state
Speaker 10: of Texas, maybe a program like Memphis Tulane, those Texas
Speaker 10: schools like Texas State, UTSA, North Texas, maybe even South Florida.
Speaker 10: There that would be a long way away, right. Geography
Speaker 10: would be would play a factor as well, But there's
Speaker 10: there's certainly those options. And if that fails Dan, I
Speaker 10: think they look back back west and they go back
Speaker 10: to maybe some other Mountain West Conference schools.
Speaker 3: Could this have been prevented? How could this have been prevented?
Speaker 3: The dissolvement of the PAC twelve?
Speaker 10: Oh Man, Well, yeah, how many? How many ways this
Speaker 10: could been prevented? I mean, the most recent way I
Speaker 10: think that it could have been prevented is August twenty
Speaker 10: twenty two, when the PAC twelve presidents and looking for
Speaker 10: a new television deal, presented with an agreement from ESPN
Speaker 10: and they turned it down, and when they turned it
Speaker 10: down and went to market, the market wasn't what they
Speaker 10: expected DAN, and that led them to down a path
Speaker 10: with Apple a streaming obviously streaming platform for their television
Speaker 10: dealal and that was something that got pushed back and
Speaker 10: it obviously led to the exit of Colorado, and that
Speaker 10: kind of had the domino effect right of Washington and
Speaker 10: Oregon deciding to go to the Big ten and then
Speaker 10: then it all kind of fell apart. But even if
Speaker 10: you go beyond before that, right before August twenty twenty two,
Speaker 10: there was July of that year, a couple months before
Speaker 10: that when USC and UCLA announced they were leaving for
Speaker 10: the Big ten DAN, and that really was the big blow.
Speaker 10: That was thirty to forty percent of the value of
Speaker 10: the PAC twelve.
Speaker 3: Before I Let You Go, we were talking about this
Speaker 3: prior to the show. Could you see a schedule maker
Speaker 3: for college football at some point down the road where
Speaker 3: you know they're being strategic and we're going to have
Speaker 3: a noon kickoff at three o'clock and an eight o'clock
Speaker 3: and you're going to treat it like the NFL does
Speaker 3: that there's not going to be cupcakes that we're going
Speaker 3: to schedule this. So I just think they're missing out
Speaker 3: on even more revenue, and that is TV revenue getting
Speaker 3: these matchups. And like we accidentally had Texas in Michigan
Speaker 3: because Sarkesian said, I didn't schedule that. But if you
Speaker 3: have a schedule maker, could you see the top fifty
Speaker 3: schools where you have a schedule release party like the
Speaker 3: NFL does, and you get to show these marquee matchups
Speaker 3: and you can kind of build upon that momentum.
Speaker 10: What do you think, Well, this is a great topic,
Speaker 10: and yes, it is one being discussed at the highest levels.
Speaker 10: I think right now in college athletics, if you could
Speaker 10: have some kind of a lot clients or agreements to
Speaker 10: have better, more interesting matchups, and I think we're moving
Speaker 10: in that direction. The problem with college athletics DAN, obviously
Speaker 10: is it's such a fractured group.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 10: The conferences are only about themselves their conference. The schools
Speaker 10: are only about themselves their school. So you do need
Speaker 10: somebody to come in and kind of get avery to
Speaker 10: consolidate everything, get everybody together on the same page, and
Speaker 10: everybody work toward one mission. And that's what we're missing
Speaker 10: from college athletics. But we're getting closer, I think to
Speaker 10: that point. So we will see I think in the
Speaker 10: future more power conference versus power conference games. I think
Speaker 10: on the Olympics sports schedule, we'll see more regional scheduling,
Speaker 10: geography at play, some rearranging of those things. But you
Speaker 10: know what it will take for schools and conferences to
Speaker 10: play more of these big games, Dan, and that is
Speaker 10: the College Football Playoff further expanding to give you the
Speaker 10: option to have more losses and still make the playoff.
Speaker 3: Great stuff. As always, Thank you Ross Ross Dellinger, who's
Speaker 3: sports National college football reporter.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean you got Alabama and Wisconsin, and okay, I'm
Speaker 3: excited about it. I would have been excited in I
Speaker 3: don't know previous years when Wisconsin was really good, but
Speaker 3: it is Alabama and Wisconsin.
Speaker 2: You just don't have enough.
Speaker 3: It feels like there should be a marquee matchup at noon,
Speaker 3: one at three, and then one at seven thirty or
Speaker 3: eight o'clock.
Speaker 2: But to be able to orchestrate.
Speaker 3: That and say, hey, look at this schedule, because now
Speaker 3: you kind of go who's playing this weekend, You're already
Speaker 3: going to know that that matchup's going to happen. It's
Speaker 3: going to be one of those where you go, oh,
Speaker 3: circle that calendar date. You don't have that now.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 11: Paulin Tennessee is hosting zero to two Kent State on
Speaker 11: the SEC network at eight o'clock prime time.
Speaker 2: Who's tuning into that?
Speaker 5: There's a chance it could be decent at best.
Speaker 2: Final hour.
Speaker 3: On the way, Ross Tucker will stop by, why are
Speaker 3: quarterbacks not throwing more touchdown passes? Certainly in week one
Speaker 3: the numbers are down. It's alarming. Ross will join us
Speaker 3: more of your phone calls as well. On this Thursday,
Speaker 3: Fritzy Seaton, Marv Paula, Yours Truly Dan Patrick Show
