1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Welcome to the program. It's our one on

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: this Tuesday, Dan and the Danet's Dan Patrick Show. Congratulations

4
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: to Alabama and head coach Nick Saban. Alabama crushing Ohio

5
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: State last night in Miami. That saban seventh national title

6
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,479
Speaker 1: six with Alabama won with LS shoe as he broke

7
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 1: the longtime record of Bear Bryant, who had a record

8
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: six national championships. And really the amazing thing about this

9
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: Alabama team, Nick Saban has always been a run first,

10
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 1: defensive minded head coach, and he won a national title

11
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: with the record breaking offense, and you could argue that

12
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: you know, he faces challenges that Bear Bryant couldn't have imagined.

13
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: You talk about the media scrutiny, the transfer portal, you

14
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: talk about players leaving early, but Saban handled all of

15
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: it quite well. And we love to put an asterisk

16
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: by these championships during COVID. Just like with the Lakers,

17
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody has earned a title more so

18
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: than what the Lakers did this past year, and the

19
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: same with Alabama. Alabama didn't have cupcakes, they didn't play

20
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: the sid at all. They didn't play Samford. They played

21
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: the SEC this year. They played the SEC the entire season,

22
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: and then you go into the playoffs and they beat

23
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: up on Notre Dame and then they roughed up Ohio

24
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: State last night. And keep in mind Saban was diagnosed

25
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: twice with COVID. The first one was a false positive,

26
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,119
Speaker 1: the next one was the real thing. But it didn't

27
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: slow down Alabama. And you credit the head coach. He

28
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: established a consistent level of excellence throughout the program. And

29
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: I hope that he takes a moment to enjoy it,

30
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: but he won't. He will not take Maybe he'll take

31
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: a moment, literally a moment, and that's it. He's probably

32
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: calling recruits right now because he wants to work on

33
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: that eighth national championship in Tuscaloosa. There's a lot of

34
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: things to process from last night's game. I didn't know

35
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: all healthy Ohio State was going to be. I still

36
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: don't know how healthy Justin Fields was last night. They

37
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: lose Trey Sermon on the first drive and they just

38
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: felt like the defensive line was not fully assembled there.

39
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: And you can't have any of those mistakes. You have

40
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: to have a full arsenal to go against Alabama, and

41
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: they didn't have that last night, But you saw the difference.

42
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 1: As I said six weeks ago, when I watched Alabama,

43
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: I kept coming back to there is no DeVante Smith

44
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: elsewhere in college football. He was the best player on

45
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: the field every single game that he played. And I

46
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: didn't understand the logic because I'm looking at Davante Smith,

47
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: I have to take him out of the game. How

48
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: do I take him out of the game. I just

49
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: put two guys on him because Jaylen Waddle can't beat me.

50
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle did his best. He probably shouldn't have been

51
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: in there, but he's not going to beat me. Naja

52
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: Harris can beat me, but that's okay. That might be

53
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: more of a slow drip than a guillotteam with Davonte Smith.

54
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: I just didn't understand the philosophy. And granted, you've got

55
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: grown men who have got quite quite a lengthy resume

56
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: who were doing these jobs there. But as an observer,

57
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: I'm watching going I can't let Davonte Smith have the ball.

58
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: If he does, I have two guys always on him.

59
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: And I kept going back to Bill Belichick. What would

60
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: Belichick have done if he was facing Davonte Smith and

61
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: we're going to find this out next year in the NFL.

62
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: But he always takes away your best weapon. Well, your

63
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: best weapon is Davonte Smith. Mac Jones is very good.

64
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: Davonte Smith is different. And I kept wondering you sort

65
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: of had single coverage. You always had somebody was shading over.

66
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: But you know, Alabama and Steve Sarkisian called a great game.

67
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: At one point when a linebacker ended up on Davonte Smith.

68
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: I thought that was inexcusable. I'm going to give Mac

69
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: Jones credit and looked off the safety, but a linebacker

70
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: should never be on DeVante Smith ever, even going across

71
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: the middle, because you see there's a different gear that

72
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: he has. And he was unbelievable in the first half

73
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: and then dislocated his finger in the second half. Who knows,

74
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: he'd probably have three hundred yards receiving twenty catches if

75
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: he wanted to last night. That can't happen against a

76
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: team like Ohio State, even if you're missing a couple

77
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: of defensive linemen there. But watching him play, and you know,

78
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: it was a treat, it really was. It was a

79
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: treat to watch him this year and Mac Jones as well.

80
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 1: And that Alabama team wasn't a great defensive team, but boy,

81
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: that was a great offensive team. And I know as

82
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: we move along, every quarterback is going to be expected

83
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,799
Speaker 1: to complete sixty five percent of his passes, maybe seventy percent,

84
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: you know, Mac Jones was seventy six percent this year.

85
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: But the way it is with offense now, and this

86
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 1: is what Saban did. Saban evolved because it was a

87
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: defensive minded team, running team, and then he realized I

88
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: need to spice up my offense and he brought in

89
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin, he brought in Steve Sarkisian. You know that

90
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: to me was his signal of saying, all right, I'm

91
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: joining everybody else and when I do look out, now,

92
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: is that offense better than LSU's offense from last year.

93
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: It's a good debate. It's a fun debate, I think.

94
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 1: But LSU had a variety of skill position players as

95
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: far as wide receivers. They had a very talented running back,

96
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: and Joe Burrow had the greatest year a college quarterback

97
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: has ever had Alabama. We've never counted on Alabama to

98
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: have a great quarterback. You can have a good quarterback,

99
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: very good quarterback. Jalen Hurts was a very good quarterback.

100
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: Tua came in. What Nick Saban wants is a great

101
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: offensive and defensive line, get a couple of guys who

102
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: can cover. I got wide receivers, and he always has

103
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: a really good running back. Now I want a quarterback

104
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: who doesn't make mistakes. I mean, really, that's what it is.

105
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: But Mac Jones was more than that this year. But

106
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 1: if you're only going to hit him twice, you're not

107
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: going to beat him. And look, it was a long

108
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: shot that they were going to be able to beat him,

109
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: given everything that they went through at Ohio State and

110
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: who knows how much covid ravage that lineup. But watching

111
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: last night, Alabama went onto that field knowing that they

112
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: were going to win. I think Ohio State hope they'd win.

113
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: Alabama knew it was going to win. And when you

114
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: lose Trey Sermon right away and he had been unbelievable,

115
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: then that's just another one of those We're already losing players.

116
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 1: We lost players, and then we lose our star running

117
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: back as well. Welcome to the program. We've been talking

118
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: about this all morning long. So I jumped right in

119
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: where we left off as we started the show. You

120
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: can get in touch if you'd like eight seven seven

Speaker 1: three DP show email address, DP A dan Patrick dot

122
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: com twitter handle. At dp's show. We'll have a poll question.

123
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: We got a play of the day, we got a

124
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: stat of the day as well. I started to wonder

125
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: about this. I grew up loving dynasties. I grew up

126
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: with UCLA basketball, the Green Bay Packers, Boston Celtics, there

127
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: was a dynasty. I like that there's the team to

128
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: knock off. You have to beat that team. And I

129
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: don't know if you like college football, where it seems

130
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: predictable because the SEC is going to play for the

131
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: national championship, somebody is going to and Alabama has won

132
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: six of the last twelve national championships. That's predictable. But

133
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: I do want, and I think we all want the

134
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: best team to win. Like when you say that's a

135
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: great team, they deserve the national championship. Now in college

136
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: basketball it's a little different. We like when the little

137
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: guy get to chance to play against the big guys,

138
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: but we don't want them necessarily to win a championship.

139
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: We want the team that is the best team the

140
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: entire season, not just for a weekend or a couple

141
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: of weeks. Alabama's predictable. If I was twelve years of age,

142
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: I'd probably love this. But there's part of me that

143
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: says I'd like a little more variety. I'd love for

144
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: college football to be spread out across the country a

145
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: little bit more, because when you think about it, when

146
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: we start this next season, how many teams do you

147
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: think have a chance to win the national championship? Not

148
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: get in the final four. I'm just talking about win

149
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: the championship, and you're probably going to go six, maybe seven,

150
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,959
Speaker 1: eight at the most. That's it, and three or four

151
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: are going to be in the SEC. You'll have one

152
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: in the ACC, one in the Big Ten, maybe Notre

153
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: Day him, and maybe you get an outlier out West.

154
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: But that's about it. College football is predictable. But this

155
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 1: is the greatest coach that we have in college sports

156
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: right now and one of the greats of old time.

157
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: He's got star players, he recruits well. So it's it's predictable,

158
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: but I don't know if it's good for college football. Yes,

159
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 1: MC club, were you describing what Nick Saban watch, You're like,

160
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: he wants a strong offensive, defensive line, the best wide

161
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 1: receiver class in history, an incredible quarterback, not to mention

162
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: five first round cornerbacks. Like everything, They're dominant in every phase.

163
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: It's you said, next year, I feel like, oh, Alabama's

164
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: gonna win again. Well I didn't think they were a

165
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: great defense, No, not this year, right, No, they were not,

166
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: But they were a great offense. I mean, you put

167
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: up fifty on Ohio State and they could have put

168
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: up a whole lot more. But I don't know, dude,

169
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: Maybe people like the ability here and that Alabama is

170
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: going to play for the national championship every year, or

171
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: Clemson or l s U. Yeah, college football really has

172
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: nothing that encourages parody there. You know, the NBA, the

173
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: baseball football they all have the draft and stalary cap

174
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: and there's there's like seven or eight things that keep

175
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: parody alive. And there's still dynasties like Nick Saban. He

176
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: could sign as many guys as he wants. There's there

177
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: is a cap ish, but there's nothing for parody. There's

178
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: no incentive for parody. Here are the odds to win

179
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: the national title next year. Alabama number one, Clemson number two,

180
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 1: Ohio State number three, Oklahoma, Georgia, Notre Dame. I mean,

181
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: that's really what it is. They're throwing in Texas, A

182
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: and M and Iowa State based off of this past season.

183
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: Florida's in here, Texas. They're long shots at twenty five

184
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: to one, USC thirty to one, Cincinnati thirty to one.

185
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: So you start with three to one, four to one,

186
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: fifteen to two, fifteen to two, twelve to one. Those

187
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: are the teams. But Alabama and Clemson, and they had

188
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: great recruiting classes, but it feels like they have that

189
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: every single year. But Alabama is the favorite to win

190
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: the national title coming up next year. This program is

197
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 1: question do you have for me today? We had a

198
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: discussion over here. Is Is it a no brainer that

199
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: Nick Saban's the greatest college football coach of all time? Yeah?

200
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: I'm the modern era. I mean, I know we'd like

201
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: to look at these and go, h, you know, Newton

202
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 1: Rockney or Frank Lahey or Red Blake or run down

203
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: the list of Bear Bryant. But it'd be hard to

204
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: come up with a reason to say that he's not

205
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: the greatest college. You know, Joe Paterno was great, but

206
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 1: hes not winning these national titles the way Nick Saban does.

207
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 1: If you look around, like the active coaches that are

208
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: around right now, like who is it like the Mount Rushmore.

209
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: I'd hate to steal Mount Rushmore. But because I had

210
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: a poll, who's the best active coach? Balichick? Sabate coach,

211
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: k is there anyone else on that list? Pop a bitch?

212
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: Well are you talking about now? Or their resume? Because

213
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: like their resume, it's like not like who's the cutting

214
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: edge right now, but like it feels like those three

215
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: guys are arguably the best to ever do their thing. Um, yeah,

216
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: I'd have to think about it. That's that's too much

217
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: of a sidetrack for me right now too. You know,

218
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 1: Saban can put his name, He can comfortably go into

219
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: a room if somebody says, hey, the greatest coaches in

220
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: sports are in this room. He can walk into the

221
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: room and find a seat at the table. Okay. The

222
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: big debate on Twitter last night is somehow the game

223
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 1: became what should the Jets do at number two? Oh

224
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: my gosh. I was amazed because they made it seem like, oh, okay,

225
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: now we've seen enough of Davante Smith. What happens is

226
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: a lot of times people don't watch, you know, these

227
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 1: players during the regular season, and then all of a

228
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: sudden they act like a genius and they oh, my god,

229
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: you've seen this guy, this Smith guy in Alabama. Yeah. Yeah, yeah,

230
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 1: he's been doing it all the season long. The Jets

231
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 1: should take him number two overall. Also based off last

232
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: night is when now, now you've seen enough with Davonte Smith.

233
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: Was it the previous game or the previous game or

234
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: the Yeah, so now they're talking about Davonte Smith, who

235
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,559
Speaker 1: wasn't even on the list for Heisman candidates to start

236
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: the year, wasn't even considered the best wide receiver on

237
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: his own team to start this season. It's almost like

238
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 1: this meteoric rise like Joe Burrow had. We we've seen

239
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: this recently, where you go, wow, where did this guy

240
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: come from? I mean, Joe Burrow came out of nowhere.

241
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: He was going to be targeted as a fifth round

242
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: draft pick. Right fifth round draft pick. Nanny's the number

243
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: one pick overall, Davante Smith. Nobody knew him, or at

244
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: least you knew him. But you know, you thought, oh, well,

245
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: you know they've had Judy and Rugs and Waddle, and

246
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: you know this other guy, Davante Smith as well. And

247
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden he becomes the featured guy

248
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: and then wins the Heisman Trophy. But would I take

249
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: him number one overall? I'd have to know a whole

250
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: lot more about him. Number two, number two overall, I'd

251
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: have to know a whole lot more about him and

252
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: what the Jets are going to do. If the Jets

253
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: stay with Sam Darnold, then you take Davante Smith. Is

254
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase? Remember Jamar Chase didn't play this year. He's

255
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: the LSU wide receiver and was widely considered the best

256
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: receiver coming into college football this year. Is he better

257
00:14:55,640 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: than Davante Smith? Is he different than Davonte Smith? But

258
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: when you have that wide receiver, you can get open

259
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: in college can't always get open in the NFL. Now,

260
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: they do jet sweeps, they do all of those things.

261
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: To try to give you a little bit more room

262
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: to maneuver. Very thin, very small, but you got to

263
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: get your hands on him. And if you don't, then

264
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: you're in trouble because he'll make you pay. He made

265
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: a corner. He'd turned the corner last night. It's just

266
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: simple route. He'd turned the corner and there are three

267
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: guys there from Ohio State, and he ran right by

268
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: them and they had the angle on him. There's nobody

269
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: else in college football who has that. Now, we've seen

270
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: other players have unbelievable speed, but what he does. And

271
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: a scout said to me last night as we're watching,

272
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: because he send me. He sent me a note. He goes,

273
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: this isn't fair. And I said, what isn't fair? And

274
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: he goes, Davante is just not fair. And he said

275
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: he reminds me of chado Cho Sinko in running route.

276
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: He said, what will be lost when guys run fast?

277
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: Nobody ever talks about do they run a route? How

278
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: do they run their routes. It's just like Henry Ruggs

279
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: can run by you. But I don't know if he

280
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: can be a great football player. Jerry Judy did not

281
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: play well for Denver this year. These were all very

282
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: talented Alabama wide receivers. But what separates Davante Smith from them?

283
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: From what I was told, his ability to run a

284
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: route and run a crisp route. And I said, well,

285
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: could he be Steve Largent and Bob Hayes And he said, yeah,

286
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: his ability to run a route like Steve Largent, who

287
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: is as good a route runners we've ever had, and

288
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: then Bob Hayes is as fast as anybody who's ever

289
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: played the position. He said, he has that ability, that

290
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: hybrid of and he said he's humble. He said, one

291
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: of the traits nobody ever talks about what Davante Smith is.

292
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: He's humble. Said did you see him celebrate at all

293
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: any of his touchdown last night? Did he celebrate? Does

294
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: he do any of that? He just he plays football.

295
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: He's an entertaining He's an entertaining football player. He's not

296
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: an entertainer. There's a difference. Now. I don't know what

297
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: he's going to be like when he gets to the NFL.

298
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 1: But what you see and what you saw, according to

299
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: this NFL scout who's his source, he said, he's humble.

300
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 1: He goes out there in plays, he does all, he

301
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: does everything that you want a player to do. He's

302
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 1: not a star. He doesn't act like a star, And

303
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,640
Speaker 1: he said that's very attractive when you're trying to put

304
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: together a game plan. He might be a decoy at

305
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: some point when he gets to the NFL, Like you've

306
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: got to be ready for a variety of things when

307
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: you get to the NFL. But he said, it seems

308
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: like he is equipped to get ready for that next step.

309
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 1: But give credit to him because he is an unbelievable

310
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: route runner. Yeah, Po, I always worry when and again,

311
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: like you said, he's got more than just speed. When

312
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: speed is the number one thing, and when someone's whispy wiry,

313
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: I get worried. There's players like Tavon Austin. I thought

314
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: it was gonna be fantastic, so did I, and then

315
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 1: he wasn't. But then Tyreek Hill is fantastic. Henry Ruggs

316
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: looks okay out of Alabama and he's got lots of speed.

317
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,439
Speaker 1: It's like John Ross at Washington who went to the

318
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: Bengals injured all the time too. Two forty, which is great,

319
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: but you got to get on the field to use it.

320
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: But this isn't a track meet. I mean Tyree Hill

321
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: can still run round. It's not that he's just straight

322
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: ahead speed. It's you have to be able to run around,

323
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 1: and Davante Smith is able to do that. But I'm

324
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 1: glad he won the Heisman because he was the difference.

325
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 1: There's nobody like him in college football and he deserved it,

326
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 1: and he showed it again last night just how dangerous

327
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: he is. All Right, we'll take a break. Phone calls

368
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: we're focused on the Jets. Do you want to get

369
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: into Doug Peterson? For second? A lot of Jets fans

370
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: are wondering if Doug Peterson is worth the hire. If

371
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 1: I gave you the choice between a Doug Peterson to

372
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,400
Speaker 1: throw out Robert Salah, who's supposed to be the one

373
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: of the top choices there, do you want a guy

374
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: who won the Super Bowl or an up and coming

375
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. Well, does Doug Peterson have a relationship with

376
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 1: the current general manager, Joe Douglas. Yeah? They were together

377
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 1: at Philly. Yeah, So it's going to come down to

378
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: Canjoe Douglas convinced management that Doug Peterson has not damaged

379
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 1: goods and that we need to bring him in. I'm

380
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 1: told Eric B. Enemy once the Jets job, Now do

381
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: you take Eric B. Enemy? Is Eric B Enemy now

382
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: going to be the number one candidate for Philadelphia Because

383
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Laurie, after he fired Doug Peterson or they parted

384
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: ways felt like he was going all in on a

385
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: minority head coaching candidate here. But if I'm the Jets,

386
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: I'd have to I'd have to know more about it.

387
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: I can't make a flippant comment on do the Jets

388
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 1: bring in Doug Peterson. I mean, I don't know Doug Peterson.

389
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: He always feels like he wants to tell you that

390
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: he played the position of quarterback and you didn't, and

391
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: he's the smartest guy in the room. I'd still like

392
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: to know what went on in Philadelphia in that last

393
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: game of the season. I'd like to know what went on,

394
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: who made the call to bring in Nate Sudfeld and

395
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 1: take out Jalen Hurts. That's what I'd like to know,

396
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: because it doesn't feel like we've gotten a full explanation there.

397
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:21,199
Speaker 1: And until I find that out, I mean, something happened

398
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia or is happening in Philadelphia, And until I

399
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: get answers on that, you know, I have some trepidation

400
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 1: about bringing in Doug Peterson because if he did it,

401
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 1: I give you want to if you want to bring

402
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: in Nate Sudfeld, start Nate Sudfeld, But don't tell me

403
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: at that point you need to bring in Nate Sudfeld

404
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: to see him play. You still need to see Jalen

405
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: Hurts play. Because Jalen Hurts, you're not quite sure what

406
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 1: you have gave you a boost of energy. He was

407
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: fun to watch. Is he a guy that you can

408
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: count on weekend and week out? And I don't think

409
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: you saw enough of him. I mean, completed fifty percent

410
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 1: of his passes. That's podest for him. He does other things.

411
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: He ran for a couple of touchdowns in that game,

412
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,360
Speaker 1: but I'd like to know exactly what happened and did

413
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson basically say I want to hire my guy

414
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: as an offensive coordinator. You're not gonna let me do that.

415
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 1: Let's just part ways. And maybe that's the case, but

416
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: it feels like that GM in Philadelphia, Howie Roseman played

417
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: a large role in something here. And until we hear that,

418
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: then I don't know if I could give a firm

419
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: yes or no on what the Jets should do as

420
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: far as their head coaching position. And Doug Peterson won

421
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl, but he barely snuck into the playoffs

422
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: in two of the last three years. And look at

423
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks they beat. This year, they had four wins.

424
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 1: I think they beat Danusche in Dallas, they beat Mullins

425
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: in San Francisco. They beat Taysom Hill when he was

426
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 1: the quarterback, and then one other quarterback. So they won

427
00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: four in a division that it's almost impossible to not

428
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 1: win at least five games. That those are their wins

429
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: this year. Yes, don't forget. He tied Joe Burrow too.

430
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's right. And they tied Joe Burrow. And

431
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: it's not like, you know, this is murderers Row here

432
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: that he defeated. I don't think he had a good

433
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: year at all. They get every single player was injured

434
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:26,199
Speaker 1: and maybe okay, but you keep saying this, well were healthy.

435
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 1: Nobody was. There was two or three teams that were

436
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 1: more injured. I mean the Niners were a joke. They

437
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: were putting out like a practice squad, and the Eagles

438
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: were not far behind, and the Cowboys too. I mean

439
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 1: a lot of teams. Should they have kept Doug Peterson

440
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia? Oh yeah, I think this was premature. Just

441
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: I mean, he what a super row three years ago.

442
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: That's really what I'm basing off of. Like I didn't

443
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 1: understand why the Cubs fired Joe Madden for the same

444
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 1: you know it is. It is interesting to see how

445
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: much of a honeymoon period you have after winning a championship.

446
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,479
Speaker 1: I mean the Cubs fence. If I would have said, hey,

447
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 1: you're gonna in a World Series, how long do you

448
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: want your manager to stay? And then you'd say for

449
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: a lifetime. If Joe Madden can help us win a

450
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: World Series, you can stay forever. Three years gone. The Eagles,

451
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: You guys are gonna win a super Bowl? How long

452
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: do you want Doug Peterson? You're gonna be You're gonna

453
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: beat Tom Brady and you're gonna have a backup quarterback.

454
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: How long does Doug Peterson get to stay in Philadelphia forever?

455
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: Three years? Because winning changes all of us. Terry Francona

456
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: two World Series titles and they somehow send him packing,

457
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 1: fired him. Oh you know what, he was too close

458
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 1: to the players. He let him get away with everything.

459
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: He won two World Series titles. He should still be there. Yes,

460
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: he is. The statue of Nick Foles and Doug Peterson

461
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 1: still there calling the Philly special to it still is?

462
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,880
Speaker 1: I think do they really have one with the coach

463
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: and the player. Yeah, that's right outside. I thought the

464
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: one was kidding. It's like bud Light gave it to them.

465
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: So there's no record of Carson Wentz being there if

466
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: he doesn't play well. I don't know if Doug Peterson

467
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: gets to take himself from the statue, like what happens

468
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 1: when he leaves, he gets to take his portion of

469
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: the statue. So there's Rocky with his arms up and

470
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson with a headset on. Next is that talking

471
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: to Nick Foles, right, McLeman, Yeah, yeah, Seaton's right. It's

472
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 1: a bud Light sponsorship. So I don't know if it's

473
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: like you know, the Knock on the Knock on Philadelphia,

474
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: is they had, you know, the greatest one of the

475
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 1: greatest African American boxing heavyweight champions of all time and

476
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 1: they have a statue of Sylvester Salone and Rocky outside

477
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 1: the spectrum. Yeah, Joe Frazier doesn't get one, right, Doctor

478
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: j has a sick Um statue though, how about I'm

479
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 1: not big on statues. I mean the statue one year

480
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 1: after it happens, like like the David, you know, you

481
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: go to Italy and you see the David. Okay, like

482
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: I'm okay with the statue you like that, But even then,

483
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 1: if I'm David, I'm kind of embarrassed and had to

484
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: be a cold day in Florence. Yes, I've got the

485
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 1: statue of Doug Peterson. Then the Nick Foles You're right,

486
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: and it actually has bud Light emblazoned on the base.

487
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: It says do you want Philly Special quote? And it's

488
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl and there's him holding the sheet and

489
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: Nick Foles face. It loses a little bit of the nostalgia, like, man,

490
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: well do you see that statue? Like imagine if the

491
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: David is sponsored or you know a Lombardi Trophy is

492
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: a statue outside of Lambeau, is its sponsored by bud

493
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: Seltzer Seltzer Natty Light brings you the immaculate reception? Yeah, yes,

494
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: they've lowered the bar so much for statues. You know

495
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: they're Billy a Taylor Heineck statue he blowly lost by

496
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: eighth of the Bucks. Yeah, yeah, sponsored by Heineken. Yeah.

497
00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: I'm not big on sports statues like the Jordan one. Okay,

498
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: I get it, but you know, do you really need

499
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: a Philly Special statue? And it's just two guys talking

500
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 1: it's coaching quarterback. Yes, yes, Do you think poor Carson

501
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 1: Wentz has to walk by that statue facility? Yeah, Hey,

502
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: here's a reminder that you didn't play in the biggest

503
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: people all time in Philly sports. Check it out. Here

504
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: is the owner of the Eagles, Jeffrey Laurie, on deciding

505
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:31,360
Speaker 1: to let Doug Peterson go. Very few people, probably after success,

506
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: deserve to lose their job. This is much more about

507
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: the evaluation of whether the Eagles moving forward, our best

508
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: option is to have a new coach. That's really really

509
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 1: what it's about. It's not about to Doug deserve to

510
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: be let go. No, he did not deserve to be

511
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: let go. That's not where I'm coming from, and that's

512
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: not the bar in the evaluation process. So he didn't

513
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: deserve to be let go. But he's being let go? Okay, Yes?

514
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: Is that it? It's not you, it's me. It feels

515
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: like that. I think Doug Peterson he wanted his own

516
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, didn't get it, and maybe he just said, look,

517
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: it's best for both of us if if I leave.

518
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: Did he just say you deserve someone better than the Eagles? Doug? Like, no,

519
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: you know what You're too good for us. You should

520
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: spread your wings and fly. We need to see other people.

521
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: I just think we should take a break. Yeah, break

522
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: from each other. South Palantonio will join us, coming up

523
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: top of the arm. Yes, Pa. If Eric B. Enemy

524
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: has offered both the Eagles which is now open, and

525
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: Jets job, and you were him, which would you take.

526
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: The Eagles seem messy now, the Jets seam messy forever.

527
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: I'd have to know more about the theater workings, the infrastructure.

528
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: I'd have to know more about that. But face value,

529
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,479
Speaker 1: the Eagles have two quarterbacks, which you say means they

530
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: don't have any They don't have one. And the Jets

531
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: have a good young quarterback who they may trade for

532
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: a pick and they can get another quarterball. Okay. The

533
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: expectation level in Philadelphia is, hey, you want a super Bowl,

534
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: but in three years we could fire you. They still

535
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: have high expectations. Eric B. Enemy wouldn't walk in and

536
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: they'd go, hey, we're a four win team. Take your time.

537
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: The Jets, you have a chance, although your window is

538
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: probably three years where you can prove yourself. But Philadelphia

539
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: is going to be the same three year window, and

540
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: that window might be even smaller due to what the

541
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: expectation level is. I would probably take the Jets job

542
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: right now because I think Philadelphia is an older team.

543
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: I don't know what they're gonna do with Carson Wentzer

544
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts. It feels like that locker room is a

545
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 1: little fragile right now, or there's an undercurrent of tension

546
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: in there. The Jets situation. If I can keep the

547
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: owner out of it and my GM is who I

548
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: think is, then I like that, and then I can

549
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: decide what I want to do with that number two pick. Overall,

550
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: I've got some money to spend, and I have a

551
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: chance to do something magical, because if you win with

552
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: the Jets, you know you're gonna be You're gonna be

553
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: treated like a king there. Yeah, McLevin, I say a

554
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: one angle for the Eagles. You didn't go nine and seven,

555
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: you're hosting a playoff game in that division. It might

556
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: be that might be a little better of a situation.

557
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: You don't have the Bills and the Dolphins, and the

558
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: East is now where the Patriots are the one that

559
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: are suspects right where Dolphins are good, Buffalo is good,

560
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: and then you know you're the Jets to go along

561
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 1: with the Patriots. Nfcast is still going to be wide

562
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 1: open for a while. Maybe that could sway there, George Philly.

563
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: These are the four teams that used at least eighty

564
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: players this season. The Niners had eighty four, Jags eighty one,

565
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: Eagles eighty one. The Jets played eighty players. A lot

566
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: of turnover there, certainly understand it. A lot of losses

567
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: as well. I think there's a common thread with all

568
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: of these teams that had all of these players had

569
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 1: all of these losses. John and North Carolina joins us. Hey, John,

570
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: what's on your mind today? Are you good? Sir? My

571
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: main question is is it more about the fact that

572
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: the Eagles fire Doug Peterson because of his over wall

573
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: drop performance since us of the blow, or more because

574
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: of how he handled Carson went. I don't know, John,

575
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: and I'll ask South Palestonio when he joins us at

576
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: the top of the hour. But keeping mind Doug Peterson,

577
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: it's not the GM. I just don't know who ordered

578
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: the code read here. That's what I don't know what

579
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 1: happened in that game against Washington because the timing of that,

580
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: that's the reason why we went wait, what's he doing?

581
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: That's why Jalen Hurts goes, wait, what are you doing?

582
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:55,959
Speaker 1: That's why some of the players went away, what are

583
00:32:55,960 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 1: you doing? If everybody was on board that age Sudfeld

584
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: was going to play, why did you have real time

585
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: reactions from these players on the sidelines, including Jalen Hurd's going,

586
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: I don't know what he's doing, Like, what are you doing?

587
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: That felt like that was somebody above Doug Peterson who's

588
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: making that call. But Doug didn't do a good job

589
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: this year. I thought he wasn't good in press conferences

590
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: this year. You know, it just wasn't. This was as

591
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: bad a year as you can have for somebody who's

592
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl. I mean, has any coach ever

593
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: been fired after winning the Super Bowl three years later?

594
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but I mean it's rare. You're on

595
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 1: scholarship for a while. Did Gruden get fired after went

596
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl in Tampa after three years? Four years?

597
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm sure somebody has, or it's been

598
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: pretty close to that same time frame. Yeah, mcclemment. You

599
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: know what Peterson is known for going for it. A

600
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: lot of fourth down they see to never make it

601
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: this year. It was one of those years where they

602
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 1: I think I'll find that number. I think his percentage

603
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 1: right way down. Maybe because people figured him out. I

604
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: don't know. South Pallantoni will join us. Top of the

605
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,879
Speaker 1: Cleveland Brown starting center j JC Tretter will join us

606
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 1: as well, and the Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians will

607
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 1: join us. Coming up in the final hour of the show,

631
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: By January twenty fourth Mercedes Benz Van. I mentioned John Gruden.

632
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: I don't know how many years it was after he

633
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl with Tampa Bay when he got fired.

634
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: It was six years, but they missed the playoffs four

635
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:55,280
Speaker 1: times in those six years since winning the Super Bowl,

636
00:35:55,719 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 1: and he got fired. But Brian Billick four years after

637
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 1: Baltimore won the Super Bowl, he got fired. But Doug

638
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: Peterson three years after the Super Bowl. South Palantonio will

639
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 1: join us talk about the Eagles situation coming up. I

640
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: was also wondering about Jalen Waddle because I was watching,

641
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,720
Speaker 1: you know, in pregame, and uh, you know, he broke

642
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: his ankle two and a half months ago, and he

643
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 1: was considered and is considered to be a first round

644
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 1: draft pick. But I'm watching him run and he was

645
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 1: running like he had a rock and issue, a pebble

646
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: in issue. He just looked a little uncomfortable. He was

647
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: favoring the you know, the ankle, and understandably, so I

648
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: wouldn't have played him in the second half. I know

649
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 1: he wants to play, but I don't know whose call

650
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: that was last night. I'm guessing this is coach Saban

651
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 1: or Steve Sarkeesian, because Jaalen Waddle can say I want

652
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 1: to play, but that doesn't mean you're going to get

653
00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: in the game. I you know, you can look at

654
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 1: your receiver and go blay. He's a tough guy and

655
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: just like justin fields last night, you knew he was

656
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 1: going to play. I don't know how healthy. I'm sure

657
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: we're going to find out the damage that he had

658
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,760
Speaker 1: to his back or his ribs or whatever after the fact,

659
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: and I haven't been able to find that out. Tried

660
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 1: to find that out last week, but you know, they

661
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 1: were keeping that pretty close because the competitive advantage that

662
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 1: they might have. I felt uncomfortable watching Jayalen Waddle play

663
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: last night. I was happy he got a chance, like

664
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 1: I just thought, suiting up and being part of the

665
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 1: team because they also have a center who won the

666
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,320
Speaker 1: Dave Remington Award for the best center in college football.

667
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 1: I think his name is Dickerson, and he tore his

668
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: ACL and they suited him up and he came in

669
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: for the final play, the victory formation, and I thought

670
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: that was a great moment. As much as I'd like

671
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: to look at Jayleen Waddle, boy, he's gonna be a,

672
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,720
Speaker 1: you know, another resource for you. I don't think Ohio

673
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 1: State was worried about Jayleen won and what do you

674
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: have three catches? Last night? I felt bad for him

675
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 1: being out there. You want to be out there, You

676
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:09,240
Speaker 1: want to want to be out there in this moment,

677
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 1: But I felt bad for him. Yeah, Paul, I love

678
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: that he played. I love that he didn't want. You know,

679
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna win the national title and he's gonna get

680
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 1: the award anyway, but there's got to be something hollow

681
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: about watching and not getting in the game. And I

682
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 1: know he's gonna have a great career, but it's an ankle.

683
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:25,399
Speaker 1: If he reinjured, it probably wouldn't hurt his draft stock.

684
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:26,919
Speaker 1: It didn't hurt two was with a hip, it didn't

685
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: hurt Sam Bradford's with a shoulder. It's his call. They

686
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: let it be his call. And you know what if

687
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,879
Speaker 1: it were a closer game and they needed him, Yeah,

688
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 1: but you can need him, but he can't perform. He

689
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: wasn't the worst guy in the field there there is,

690
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 1: you know he was, but compared to what he normally is,

691
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:45,919
Speaker 1: he was nowhere near what do he want? I liked

692
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 1: that the coaching staff let the player make the call

693
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 1: and he was cleared by the doctors. I don't know

694
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: how he's cleared the way he was running. Yeah, souton

695
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: But I think it's interesting though. After the game though,

696
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,439
Speaker 1: when coach Saban said that DeVante wanted to go back

697
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 1: in after his finger was dislocated. But they're like, ah,

698
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 1: it's not really a good idea. You need to sit out.

699
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:05,879
Speaker 1: So they wouldn't let him go back in with an

700
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 1: injured finger. But they've got Wattle hobbling all over the place.

701
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, it just seemed odd to me anybody

702
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 1: else uncomfortable watching him out there? I want I was

703
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 1: glad that he got an opportunity. I just I didn't

704
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: want him to be limping around like that. Yeah, Poe,

705
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: I remember when tarall Owens had the same injury, same

706
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 1: broken broken leg. Yeah, I guess it was a break

707
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 1: in the lower leg. And tarall Owens came back in

708
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: I think forty five days and uh, I think Waddle

709
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 1: seventy two. And tarall Owens was lauded for performing the

710
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I know it well. He played great, and

711
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: he's a professional and he's getting paid. Yeah, but Jaylen

712
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 1: Waddle didn't play well. T O played unbelievable with a

713
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 1: broken leg. And I think the broken leg and a

714
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 1: broken ankle is a whole lot different in cutting, you know,

715
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:03,240
Speaker 1: the at least I would think it would be. Yeah, McLevin,

716
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 1: different case. But Mac Jones looked in a lot of

717
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 1: pain by the end of the game, like significate like

718
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 1: it's a brutal sport. He I guess he had a

719
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 1: bruise or something on his ankle, his calf for s

720
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 1: but he was just grimacing so much towards the end.

721
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 1: He couldn't really run. And I don't know how good

722
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: he is. I truly don't know how good he is

723
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:27,799
Speaker 1: because you're watching and you go, I have no idea.

724
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:32,320
Speaker 1: And normally, if this was fifteen years ago, you know,

725
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,760
Speaker 1: DeVante Smith's not winning the Heisman. Mac Jones is probably

726
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 1: winning the Heisman because we'd give it to the quarterback that,

727
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,839
Speaker 1: you know, the marquee position on the for the best

728
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,879
Speaker 1: team in college football, and we'd give it to Mac Jones.

729
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 1: I'm watching last night. I don't know how good he is.

730
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's a first rounder. I don't

731
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 1: know if he's a third rounder. I will say this,

732
00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 1: You'll have a conversation. There will be a conversation and

733
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 1: about this. Who will be a better pro from Alabama,

734
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 1: Davante Smith or Patrick Curten. This will be a conversation,

735
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 1: trust me, because you'll find people, I'm guessing in the

736
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 1: NFL who are going to say that defensive back is

737
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,879
Speaker 1: ready to go right now as well. Don't even throw

738
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 1: his way. Brady Quinn, when he was on with us yesterday,

739
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 1: said he talked to the Notre Dame coaching staff and

740
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: they said, if we throw his way, it's an accident.

741
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:35,439
Speaker 1: That's how good Patrick Curtin is. And I don't know.

742
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:38,280
Speaker 1: You know, he's got the lineage with his dad playing

743
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 1: in the NFL, but he might be more of a

744
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 1: sure thing going into the NFL, as strange as that

745
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 1: may sound. Got a text this morning Pharmasaurs said, here's

746
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,280
Speaker 1: my question. If you're the Jets, do you take Davante

747
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:59,479
Speaker 1: Smith at two or Patrick Curten? I go, okay, all right,

748
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 1: that's didn't expect that one. Yeah, mclovin. What about Nagie

749
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,399
Speaker 1: Harris first round? Or that was a big question mark

750
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: last night? Running back? I don't know. I have no idea.

751
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:10,839
Speaker 1: I don't I'd want to tell, right, Yeah, I mean

752
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:13,359
Speaker 1: Alabama always has one of these running backs and then

753
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 1: we go, yeah, but they're just like, uh, you know,

754
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 1: Trent Richardson. And then all of a sudden you have

755
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry who comes in. You go, oh, that's right,

756
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 1: he's really good. I like Harris. He tough, but once

757
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:29,799
Speaker 1: you gotta wait till they break him down. Although I

758
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:31,799
