1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,560 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:04,400 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. 3 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:07,360 Speaker 2: Let me start with the Blue Jays closing out the Yankees. 4 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,400 Speaker 2: The Tigers and Mariners are tied to two games apiece. 5 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 2: The Phillies are still alive as Kyle Schwarber had a 6 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,959 Speaker 2: couple of home runs, and the Cubs over the Brewers, 7 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:21,440 Speaker 2: which certainly makes for some interesting baseball coming up. Phillies 8 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,239 Speaker 2: at the Dodgers and then the Brewers at the Cubs 9 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 2: tonight to compete with Eagles at the Giants. Seaton, would 10 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 2: you give us the poll question from the first hour. 11 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, first hour. 12 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,560 Speaker 4: We're going to go with one from Pauli here. Worst 13 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:40,279 Speaker 4: way to lose a playoff baseball game. You got four options, strikeout, 14 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,480 Speaker 4: looking with men on base, grounding into a game ending 15 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 4: double play, an error in the field like a drop ball, 16 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 4: something like that, or give up the game winning home 17 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 4: run as a pitcher. 18 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 2: Oh now, I'll reflect back on what Mitch Williams told 19 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 2: me when he gave up a home run that won 20 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 2: the World Series for Toronto. He gave up the home 21 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 2: run to Joe Carter, and he said, hey, you know, 22 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,919 Speaker 2: it's not one of those that you're devastated by because 23 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 2: I threw my best and he hit my best. I 24 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 2: at least got that moment, and I like it was 25 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 2: a completely different take than I would have had. But 26 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 2: he said, hey, you want to throw your best. He 27 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 2: hit my best, and he was the better man and 28 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 2: they won the World Series. 29 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, like some of you know, grounding into a 30 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 4: game ending double play, I don't think that that's a 31 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 4: bad way at all. It sucks, but you put the 32 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 4: ball in play, you know, you make contact that just 33 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 4: didn't find the gap. 34 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 5: In the infield or whatever. But I mean, at least 35 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 5: you gave your team a chance. 36 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,839 Speaker 4: That's a lot different than say like striking out looking 37 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 4: where you don't even swing like that is just terrible. 38 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 4: Or an error in the field is brutal. That's brutal. 39 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 4: And you lose the game that way, that is just awful. 40 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 2: And having been there when Bill Buckner had the ball 41 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 2: go through his legs and he talked about that, you know, 42 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 2: they win the World Series. Ball goes through his legs, 43 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 2: and uh, you know that lives in infamy. All Right, 44 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 2: we'll settle on a poll question here. I did want 45 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 2: to bring the end the final call with the Yankees 46 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 2: against the Blue Jays. Blue Jays have put up some runs. 47 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 2: The Blue Jays have scored thirty four runs so far 48 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 2: in the playoffs. That's the most by any team through 49 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 2: its first four postseason games in baseball history. What's Gonna 50 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 2: stat of Today has always brought to you by Panini America, 51 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 2: the official trading cards to the program. This is how 52 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 2: it sounded on the Blue Jays Radio Network. 53 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 6: One two swinging them. 54 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 7: In strike three, screaming flex from Hoffman. The Blue Jays are. 55 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 8: Back in the ALCS for the first time since twenty sixteen. 56 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 3: They down the Yankees in their own yard, and they're. 57 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,239 Speaker 8: The first team in Baseball's Final four. 58 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 2: Okay, Blue Jays Radio Network. Dave Simms, of course, is 59 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 2: the play by play voice for the Yankees radio network. 60 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 2: He joined us a couple of days ago to talk 61 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 2: about maybe his lack of enthusiasm for a Blad Guerrero 62 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 2: Grand Slam. Fritzy called him out on that, so we thought, 63 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:23,519 Speaker 2: let's juxtapose the two calls there. So here's Dave Simms 64 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 2: and the end of the Yankees season. 65 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 9: There's a Pitts swing in a miss and I'll do it. 66 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,679 Speaker 9: The Ronald Blue Jays are going to the American League 67 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 9: Championship Series, which starts on Sunday, as Hoffman is a 68 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 9: very defiant look at the Yankee dugout now, very sad 69 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 9: ending to a Yankee season here in twenty twenty five. 70 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 2: Okay, Todd, you of course the big judge of Dave 71 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 2: Simms enthusiasm or lack thereof a little. 72 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 6: More Bode I was got to help. He would take 73 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 6: it with him. 74 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 5: How about that Blue Jays? He didn't do it. That's 75 00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 5: all right, he did not. 76 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 2: You don't, are you okay with that kind of you know, 77 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 2: very somber call. 78 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 10: It ended the season, So I can wink at that, 79 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 10: but it's very very somber, and I guess you're trying 80 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 10: to capture your audience. The Yankee fans are upset and said, 81 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 10: so you have to be sad, okay, understandable. 82 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 5: Feel a big. 83 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 10: Moment for the Blue Jays and then moving on to ALCS. 84 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 10: That's a big knowledge even. 85 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 7: As a ye know, yes, Paul, Yeah, it wasn't a 86 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 7: huge play like a game ending home run by the 87 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 7: Blue Jays where he had to do the excitement then 88 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 7: bring it back down. It was more and with all 89 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 7: the men left on base, it was like you could 90 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 7: feel the disappointment coming. So he captured the tone. 91 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 2: And I think that there was speculation, there wasn't anything 92 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 2: that was concrete that maybe Aaron Boone would lose his 93 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 2: job if they got swept and we had Christopher mad 94 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 2: Dog russo on, he goes nope. Front office loves Boone, 95 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 2: loves Cashman. Cashman's been there in some capacity since nineteen 96 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 2: eighty six. But Aaron Boone looks like he'll survive even 97 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 2: though they got one win out of this. And you 98 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 2: have to start to wonder, are the Yankees okay with this? 99 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 2: From from a certain standpoint? Are they okay that your 100 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 2: team is good? You have maybe the best player in 101 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 2: the game, you have a pretty you know, hefty payroll, 102 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 2: But are you okay not going to the alcs? Like 103 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 2: how would you sum this up? If you're a Yankee, 104 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 2: you know, person in the front office or Aaron Boone, 105 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 2: is there any part of you that goes okay? Like 106 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 2: did you exceed expectations? Because I would be disappointed if 107 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 2: I But you know, growing up and seeing the Yankees 108 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 2: when the Yankees were truly dominating and spending more money 109 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 2: than anybody, But that's not the case. 110 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 5: Anymore. 111 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 2: They've almost become kind of prudent, where you know, we're 112 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,919 Speaker 2: going to pick and choose, We're not going to go 113 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,600 Speaker 2: crazy on the Sodo contract. And you know, we've got 114 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 2: a couple of good guys here. I mean, they overpaid 115 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 2: for a couple of players. Are they still paying Jacoby Ellsbury? 116 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 2: He might, he might still be getting paid by them, 117 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 2: But it just feels like and they didn't have Garrett 118 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,280 Speaker 2: Cole so you got I mean, that's one of the 119 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 2: best pitchers in the game. But I don't know, this 120 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 2: wouldn't have happened. They wouldn't have you know, been kind 121 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,039 Speaker 2: of stuck in neutral with George Steinbrenner. I just can't 122 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 2: imagine he would go. Yeah, I'm okay with that. They 123 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 2: won one World Series game since what twenty six, twenty sixteen, Yes, Todd. 124 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 5: Is that right, Marvin two thousand and nine, oh, two 125 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 5: thousand and nine. 126 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 11: Time. 127 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 6: Yeah, The last time. 128 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 10: They won was against the Phillies in two thousand and 129 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 10: nine when they won the. 130 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 5: World See no, no, I'm talking about winning a game, nineries. 131 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 5: So they won one World Series game and that was 132 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:48,600 Speaker 5: last year. Yes, yes, yeah, okay, all right, yes, Tom? 133 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 10: Is it enough of a band aid that they can 134 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 10: say they knocked out the Red Sox in the playoffs. 135 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 10: As far as who's keeping their jobs and having anything 136 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 10: positive to say about this season for the Yanking. 137 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 2: I don't think this was a great Red Sox team. 138 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 2: I think Red Sox team felt like they overachieved a 139 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 2: little bit. But if I'm the Yankee Yankee fan, no, 140 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 2: this ain't about the Red Sox anymore. 141 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 5: No, because that Red. 142 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 2: Sox aren't the second best team or the or the 143 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 2: best team in the American League. You know, Toronto is 144 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 2: a young team and they got a lot of power, 145 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 2: score a lot of runs. You know, Tigers aren't going 146 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 2: away anytime soon. Uh, Seattle up and coming young team, 147 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 2: you know, so you got to start thinking bigger picture 148 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 2: here than hey, we beat the Red Sox. That wouldn't 149 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 2: satisfy me, Yeah, Paul. 150 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 7: The Yankees are currently at sixteen straight seasons without winning 151 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 7: a World Series, and that ties their longest stretch in 152 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 7: the history of the franchise. They went from seventy nine 153 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 7: till ninety six without winning, so sixteen years then as well. 154 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 2: And having been there when George would fire Billy Martin 155 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 2: a couple of times, he just didn't, you know, And 156 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 2: it was very reactionary. You know, you were never surprised 157 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 2: that George was going to do something like that. And granted, 158 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 2: there has to be somewhere in between of today's you 159 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 2: know Yankees back to when George was there, but still accountability. 160 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 2: And I'm not, you know, I guess, pleading for or 161 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 2: suggesting they fire Aaron Boone. I mean, I'm not a 162 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 2: big fan of his from the standpoint of analytics. And 163 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 2: here's a guy who played the game, brother played the game, 164 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 2: his dad played the games, dad managed, Like gut feeling 165 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 2: still has a place in the game, and it doesn't 166 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 2: always feel that way when I look at the Yankees. 167 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 2: But I'm just surprised. But then you're going to say, 168 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 2: or at least I would say, all right, and who 169 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,199 Speaker 2: you bringing in? Because how many great managers out there, 170 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 2: and Aaron Boone, I think is a very good manager. 171 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 2: I just don't like when you bring out the binder 172 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, it's like you're ordering off 173 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 2: a menu or something. 174 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 7: Yeah, Pauline, I went back and look at the Blue 175 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 7: Jays history.

Ah yeah, wow, all right. 190 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 2: Uh so eight seven seven three DP show a few 191 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 2: things talk about Uh we'll talk to Florio about this 192 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 2: Belichick situation in North Carolina. And when you have to 193 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 2: put out statements you know that, hey, we totally backed 194 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 2: Bill Bellie, Like we're we're what five games in and 195 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 2: we're putting out statements that doesn't bode well here, and 196 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 2: I I think what's happened. A lot of this has happened, 197 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 2: and that is we're blaming his young girlfriend. She gets 198 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 2: you know, like, oh my gosh, you know, how does 199 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 2: he let this happen? Exactly? Bill never had messes in 200 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 2: New England. Never he controlled everything, and now it seems 201 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 2: like he controls nothing. So I put the blame is 202 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 2: on Bill. Bill has to get this right. And everything 203 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 2: that you're hearing is like it's all negative. Now, granted, 204 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 2: they do have two wins, it's just they've been blown 205 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 2: out three times and the two wins aren't impressive. But 206 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 2: if you didn't have all this drama, and let's say 207 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 2: you had a groundswell of support, the locker room wasn't fractured. Guys, 208 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 2: are you know there's positive positivity out there? Hey that 209 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 2: guy looks pretty good. Hey we got a bright future here. Well, 210 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 2: you don't have any of that. And if you're a 211 00:10:54,320 --> 00:11:00,199 Speaker 2: recruit or you're the parents of a recruit, I want 212 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 2: your kid going to North Carolina. And North Carolina has 213 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 2: never had a problem with getting top talent. 214 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 5: Never. 215 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 2: Every single draft, it feels like, oh, another player at 216 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 2: in North Carolina. 217 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 5: This is on Bill. 218 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 2: Bill's gonna wear this and this will be his last stop. 219 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 2: I can't imagine the Dolphins are gonna go Hey, when 220 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 2: we get rid of Mike McDaniel, Why don't you just 221 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 2: come down here and break Don Schules all time victory record. 222 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 2: I don't see that happening. But man, there's a lot 223 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:31,359 Speaker 2: of reporting going on with this with Belichick North Carolina. 224 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 2: But you know, the owner should not be on his girlfriend. Okay, 225 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 2: I mean, she's acting like she's twenty four years of age. 226 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 2: She's acting like she's in charge. Bill has allowed this 227 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 2: to happen. He allowed this to happen. And I can't 228 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 2: imagine if he was coaching the Patriots, she would be 229 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 2: on the sidelines. I can't imagine that she would be 230 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 2: involved in an interw like this does never happened. So 231 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 2: it's not just her and I think she's getting she's 232 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 2: the focal point because we all have this, you know, 233 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,679 Speaker 2: same reaction of he's seventy three and she's twenty four. 234 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 5: But that's why I wonder where his priorities are. I 235 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 5: truly do. 236 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 2: I don't know if he wants to continue to be, 237 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 2: you know, this mastermind, this great football coach. It just 238 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 2: feels like something is missing there, Like his enthusiasm doesn't 239 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 2: seem like it's pointed towards football, and everybody that he hired, 240 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 2: his son is his defensive coordinator. He brought in Mike Lombardi. 241 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 2: I mean he brought in all the people, and plus 242 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 2: when you recruit, he recruited. So you bring in freshmen 243 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 2: and you bring in transfers. So those are players that 244 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 2: Bill is bringing in. Seventy players he brought in, not 245 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 2: I'm going to inherit Mac Brown's roster. If you said 246 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 2: in North Carolina, hey, you want to do over you 247 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 2: want to keep mac Brown? 248 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 5: I think we know the answer to that. All right, 249 00:12:58,400 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 5: we'll get to a pole question. 250 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 2: We'll get your phone calls and we'll talk to Florio 251 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 2: coming up. Also the Cincinnati Bengals. You know when that 252 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 2: or I should say the Browns. When the head coach 253 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 2: doesn't realize that Joe Flacco is going to be traded, 254 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 2: I don't know what that says about Kevin Stefanski, but 255 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,959 Speaker 2: he was like, oh, I was surprised we traded Joe. 256 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 2: All right, Andrew Berry, the GM pulled the trade off. 257 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 2: And then your head coach is like, okay, I'm fine 258 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 2: with it. I'm fine with it, and you got Flacco 259 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 2: playing against the Green Bay Packers again. He can be 260 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 2: the second quarterback in NFL history, pro football history to 261 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 2: beat the same team in the same season while playing 262 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 2: for two different teams. I'll give you the answer to 263 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 2: that after this Dan Patrick Show. 264 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,680 Speaker 1: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan 265 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific 266 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. 267 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 6: He's Mike Carmen, I'm Dan Bayern. 268 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 8: We have a brand new fan of see football podcast 269 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 8: called I Want Your Flex.

The only other quarterback 286 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 2: to do it did it in nineteen sixty two. This 287 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 2: is really tough, so I don't know if I mean, 288 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 2: you'd have to be a really really big fan of 289 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 2: this football team or this quarterback because the only other 290 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 2: quarterback to do that was Jack Kemp. He beat the 291 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 2: Titans as a member of the Chargers and the Bills. 292 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 2: That was nineteen sixty two. Mike Florio probably knew the answer. 293 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 2: He knows all Pro Football Talk Live, co host and 294 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 2: contributor to Football Night in America, and his latest novel, 295 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 2: Big Shield, definitely not about the NFL. But it's a 296 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 2: tale of gambling, the mob, and pro football, but definitely 297 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 2: not the NFL. The e book available on Amazon for 298 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 2: only ninety nine cents. 299 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 5: Good morning, Mike, how are you great? 300 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 1: Dan? 301 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 13: For disclosure, I had no idea the answer to that 302 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 13: awesome stat of the day. 303 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 2: What does it say about the Browns and Kevin Stefanski 304 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 2: that he had no idea that his backup quarterback was 305 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 2: traded to the Bengals. 306 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 13: I'm surprised he said it out loud because I feel 307 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 13: like so much of what happens in Klee. They understand 308 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 13: that in order to hold these jobs, they are at 309 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 13: the whims of whatever the owner decides to do. And 310 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 13: I think the owner has created destruction. Now this is 311 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 13: just my opinion. I think he's created a structure where 312 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 13: it looks like there's a plan, it looks like there's 313 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 13: a program, it looks like there's a formula for everything. 314 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, it's just what 315 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 3: the owner wants. 316 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 13: And I think everyone's in tune with figuring out what 317 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 13: the owner wants and when the owner wants something, it happens. 318 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 13: So doesn't surprise me at all. It doesn't surprise me. 319 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 13: They traded him, I mean they benched him, they saved 320 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 13: some money, they upgrade a draft pick, and they move 321 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 13: on from a guy that no longer fit into their plan. 322 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 13: So they got something out of him. They have to 323 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 13: be happy with this, all right. 324 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 2: Given all the coverage with Belichick with North Carolina, what's 325 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 2: your number one question about this situation today? 326 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 13: How much money changes hands and in which direction does 327 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 13: it go when it finally ends. I feel like that's 328 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 13: where this is headed. And those companion statements that came 329 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 13: out at nine thirty six PM Eastern last night, Like 330 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 13: if you hadn't been paying attention to all the reports 331 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 13: that are out there, and you just happen to open 332 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 13: your Twitter and you're a North Carolina fan and you 333 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 13: see that the next post since the one about Drake 334 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 13: May that they were shamed into making on Monday, is 335 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 13: this statement that Bill Belichick's committed to the team, and 336 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 13: then the statement from Bubba Cunningham the ad team is 337 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,959 Speaker 13: committed to him. It's like, why are we doing this? 338 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:26,119 Speaker 13: It just legitimizes that there's this avalanche right now of 339 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,719 Speaker 13: reporting that they've made no effort to push back against, 340 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 13: of dysfunction and deterioration and just flat out disintegration of 341 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 13: the program. And I feel like that this is just 342 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,479 Speaker 13: the idea of if I'm going to go, you're going 343 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 13: to pay me to go. And from the team's perspective, 344 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 13: if you're going to go, we're not going to pay you, 345 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 13: and maybe you're going to pay part of your one 346 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 13: million dollar price tag to get out of here. And 347 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 13: they're just it feels like they're staking out what the 348 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 13: endgame and the dissolution of this is going to be 349 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:57,679 Speaker 13: hell damaged. 350 00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,439 Speaker 5: Is his NFL reputation? 351 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 13: I don't think it affects anything he's done in the NFL. 352 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 5: I think, but future employment, Oh. 353 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,640 Speaker 13: Well, let me just add this caveat in advance. We 354 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 13: know that there are plenty of teams in the NFL 355 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 13: that don't know what the hell they're doing, and it 356 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 13: all comes from the owner. Dysfunctional teams do dysfunctional things, 357 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 13: as our friend Big Kat says, And I can't rule 358 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 13: out an owner of a team that is chronically bad 359 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,959 Speaker 13: and they've got a revolving door at the coaching position 360 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,719 Speaker 13: saying what the hell. Nothing else we've tried has worked. 361 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 13: Let's give it a shot. But here's the problem. How 362 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 13: do you sell this Bill Belichick to a fan. 363 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 3: Base and to the media that cover the team. 364 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 13: Who's going to renew season tickets when they find out 365 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 13: that this Bill Belichick is coming in to take over. 366 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 3: I think that's the hardest thing. 367 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 13: From a football standpoint, what the hell? Maybe he can 368 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:56,399 Speaker 13: recapture some magic. From a business standpoint, I don't know 369 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 13: how you help your bottom line by trotting out Bill 370 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 13: Belichick posts North Carolina. 371 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 2: But could you see a scenario where the Dolphins bring 372 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:11,679 Speaker 2: him in if they fire Mike McDaniel. Even though he 373 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 2: would be trying to pass Don Shula's record in the 374 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 2: all time victory list while being a Dolphins coach in 375 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 2: the process. 376 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 13: I think that's a practical impediment to getting the fans 377 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 13: to buy in. 378 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 3: That's the key these guys. They act like. 379 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 13: They're obsessed with winning the Super Bowl. All we want 380 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:30,639 Speaker 13: to do is win the Super Bowl. We want to 381 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 13: win the Super Bowl. Well, you know what, only one 382 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 13: team wins it, but they all win at the Bank Vault. 383 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 13: And if you are going to make a hire that 384 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 13: sabotages your ability to fill your stadium, you're just asking 385 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 13: for red ink in a business where there should be none. 386 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 13: So I think that is the one factor that we 387 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 13: need to keep in mind here. He will be received 388 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 13: very differently wherever he would go next in the NFL 389 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 13: than he would have been two years ago. 390 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 3: Now, I won't rule out. 391 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,479 Speaker 13: That there's some owner that's going to decide I don't care, 392 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,160 Speaker 13: this is what I want to do, But I don't 393 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:06,640 Speaker 13: know who it would be. And I think that whole 394 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 13: Don shul of Bill Belichick feud would be a factor 395 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 13: against him going to Miami. 396 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 5: But it feels like Mike McDaniel's already done in Miami. 397 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:17,159 Speaker 3: Oh, I agree with you. 398 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 13: I agree with you, But that doesn't mean the replacement's 399 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 13: going to be Bill Belichick. They need to find a 400 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 13: middle ground between the Brian Flores Belichick type that couldn't 401 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 13: get along with Tuatoga I low and it was kind 402 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 13: of a hard charging task master and Mike McDaniel, who's 403 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 13: everybody's buddy and he's just really chill and he's authentic. 404 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 13: Authentic works until you're piling up losses and you see 405 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 13: this guy who seems to be unaffected by the fact 406 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 13: that they're piling up losses. So they need to find 407 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 13: someone in the middle. But this is what dysfunctional teams do. 408 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 13: It doesn't work out with one coach, so the next 409 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 13: guy we hire is the exact opposite from a personality standpoint, 410 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 13: and they. 411 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,719 Speaker 3: Just swing back and forth between those two types. 412 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 2: Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars for flipping somebody off 413 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:05,239 Speaker 2: for Jerry Jones, I'm always curious if the commissioner has 414 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 2: a book, you know, like he just goes over, opens 415 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 2: his desk and goes, let me see you got that 416 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 2: flipping off fans two hundred and fifty Like, how did 417 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 2: they come up with two hundred and fifty thousand dollars 418 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 2: for Jerry Jones. 419 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,919 Speaker 13: Well sixteen years ago Bud Adams, the late founder of 420 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 13: the Oilers who were then the Titans, he got fined 421 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 13: two hundred and fifty. 422 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 3: Thousand dollars for two of them. 423 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 13: So I don't know if it's inflation cost of living increase. 424 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,160 Speaker 3: But Dan, here's my big takeaway. 425 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 13: Beyond the fact that Jerry had the ridiculous I meant 426 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 13: to give a thumbs up, and you know, my hand 427 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,640 Speaker 13: has a life of its own, a mind of his own, 428 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,719 Speaker 13: and I gave the figer. But I think Jerry should say, 429 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 13: you know what, next time, I'll just throw a drink 430 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 13: on them, because that only costs three hundred thousand dollars 431 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 13: when David Tepper did it, that's a. 432 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:49,119 Speaker 3: Bargain in comparison. 433 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 13: If I really, if I'm really upset, I'll just throw 434 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 13: the drink and pay the extra fifty grand. 435 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 2: Dang two hundred and fifty k. And then did the 436 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 2: team Jonathan Gannon got fined. Did the team do it 437 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 2: or the NFL? 438 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 13: The team did it, and the NFL was satisfied by it. 439 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:07,640 Speaker 13: And you know a lot of times what happens, isn't. 440 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 13: They don't come out and admit it. The league makes 441 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 13: it clear to the team, you need to do something 442 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,160 Speaker 13: about this or we will. And I think it was appropriate. 443 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 13: He crossed the line. We're in an age where you 444 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 13: can't put hands on your players, and he made contact 445 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 13: with Mri d Marcato multiple times, including kind of an 446 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,479 Speaker 13: aggressive slap to the arm as he walked away, So 447 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 13: I think it was appropriate. The real question is does 448 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 13: the locker room accept his apology? 449 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 3: Do they buy it? 450 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,639 Speaker 13: Did it seem sincere or was it a hostage video 451 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 13: type of an apology that he had to make. And 452 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 13: we'll see as soon as this weekend when it's time 453 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,160 Speaker 13: for them to play, we'll see what kind of performance 454 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 13: he gets from his players. 455 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 2: So that Jerry Jones's middle finger is two and a 456 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 2: half times worse than Jonathan Gannon's action correct. 457 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 13: Well, again, I don't know where the book is that 458 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,199 Speaker 13: tells them what to do. And we always hear that 459 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,679 Speaker 13: owners are held to a higher standard than players, and 460 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 13: sometimes they are. Jerry Judy of the Browns did the 461 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,679 Speaker 13: double barrel middle finger to Ravens fans, and his fine 462 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,159 Speaker 13: was somewhere between ten and twenty thousand for that. So 463 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 13: in this situation, they hold the owners to a higher standard. 464 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 3: So I don't know. 465 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,119 Speaker 13: I just wonder like if if Jonathan Gannon had messed 466 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 13: with the wrong guy and we would have had a 467 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 13: Latrell Spreewell situation on the sideline. 468 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:23,920 Speaker 3: I mean, that's the problem. 469 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,719 Speaker 13: There are certain guys in the NFL who aren't going 470 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:31,679 Speaker 13: to take what Mrii d. Morcado received from Jonathan Gannon. 471 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 13: So I think it's probably wise for coaches to not 472 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 13: lay hands on these gladiators who are out there hitting 473 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 13: people for a living. 474 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,880 Speaker 2: I'm talking to Mike Florio and his novel Big Shield. 475 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 2: It's about gambling the mob in a pro football league 476 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 2: that is not the NFL. The e book available at 477 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,479 Speaker 2: Amazon for only ninety nine cents. 478 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 12: You know. 479 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 2: The Mac Jones situation. Now, it's not surprising for me 480 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,680 Speaker 2: because Kyle Shanahan didn't like him going into that draft, 481 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 2: and then you get him, even though they don't have weapons, 482 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 2: He's played really well. I don't want to go as 483 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 2: far as to say do they have a quarterback controversy? 484 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,680 Speaker 2: But if Mac Jones plays great again, I think six 485 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 2: touchdowns in one interception, you know could this be a 486 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 2: quarterback controversy. 487 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 13: Here's the big picture, and the forty nine Ers were 488 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,679 Speaker 13: very wise dan to sign mac Jones, not to a 489 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 13: one year deal like they did with Sam Darnold, two 490 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 13: years with mac Jones at around eight million dollars. The 491 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,399 Speaker 13: way that the brock Party contract that was negotiated in 492 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 13: the offseason is structured two years is what Purty is 493 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 13: guaranteed and the forty nine Ers have, and they build 494 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 13: this into all their contracts. A lot of teams the 495 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,199 Speaker 13: next year becomes guaranteed right after the league year begins 496 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 13: in the middle of March. The forty nine Ers always 497 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 13: demand until April one. 498 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 3: To make a decision, So they have until. 499 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 13: April one of twenty twenty seven to make a decision 500 00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 13: about brock Party. After the twenty sixth season, well, there's 501 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 13: a lot of football to be played between now and 502 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 13: the end of the twenty twenty six season. By then, 503 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:07,399 Speaker 13: you know, a lot of times you think you have 504 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 13: a problem, you have an issue. 505 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 3: What are we going to do? 506 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 13: The decision reveals itself in time. By the time we 507 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 13: get to the end of the twenty twenty six season, 508 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 13: I think we'll know and they'll know which of the 509 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 13: two guys is the long term play, and they'll have 510 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 13: a seamless way if they want to do it to 511 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 13: pivot to mac Jones and get away from the remainder 512 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 13: of brock Purty's contract. 513 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:26,440 Speaker 3: That's the key. 514 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 13: So for now, they got both guys for the next 515 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 13: two years, and then they'll make a decision, and you 516 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 13: know it'll be. 517 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 3: Driven by health. 518 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 13: Between now and then, they can always play the one 519 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,239 Speaker 13: hundred percent card, where brock Perdy plays only if he's 520 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 13: one hundred percent well. Is the one hundred percent No, 521 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 13: I've decided he's not. 522 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 3: We're going to play mac Jones. 523 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 13: But hey, in a league where plenty of teams don't 524 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,120 Speaker 13: have one quarterback who can get it done, they're fortunate 525 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 13: to have two. And I know they've had plenty of 526 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 13: misadventures at the quarterback position, but they're in a good 527 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 13: spot right now because they've got two guys who can play. 528 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 13: And I think we see how it plays out between 529 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 13: now and week eighteen and twenty twenty, and I think 530 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 13: by then they'll know and will know which of the 531 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,640 Speaker 13: two guys is the answer for the long haul. 532 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,399 Speaker 5: Is John Harbaugh safe in Baltimore? 533 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:10,399 Speaker 3: Probably not? 534 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:16,439 Speaker 13: And it's been a long relationship, and you know, he 535 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,959 Speaker 13: falls into that category of guy who would get fired 536 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 13: if he gets fired, or if he would resign, or 537 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 13: if it would be a mutual parting, and he'd probably 538 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 13: lands somewhere else right away if he wanted to, like 539 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,360 Speaker 13: Andy Reid did, like Mike Tomlin would. 540 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 3: You know, there's that. 541 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 13: Thirty percent chunk of the Steelers fan base that is 542 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 13: ready to fire Mike Tomlin anytime they lose two games 543 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 13: in a row. There have been times over the years 544 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 13: where it's felt like it's coming to an end between 545 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 13: the Ravens and Harball, and it's always skewed toward him staying. 546 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,439 Speaker 13: This has got to be the biggest test of the 547 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 13: relationship between the front office and Harbaugh that we've ever seen. 548 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 13: As the roster disintegrates, the team can't win. They got 549 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 13: embarrassed at home by the Texans over the weekend, a 550 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 13: team that had never won in Baltimore went in there 551 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 13: and blew them out. So there's gonna be a lot 552 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:06,919 Speaker 13: of pressure in that owner coach relationship with the GM 553 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 13: kind of caught in the middle. 554 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 3: What's going to happen after this season? 555 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 13: So I think there's a very real chance based on 556 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 13: what we've seen through five weeks that then a mutual 557 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 13: parting is what happens when the season. 558 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:21,719 Speaker 2: Ends, because it seems like we've focused on Mike Tomlin's 559 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,880 Speaker 2: tenure in Pittsburgh and here they are just kind of quiet. 560 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 5: Now. 561 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 2: You know, they can't control what the other teams do 562 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,639 Speaker 2: or don't do in the injuries, but you know, I 563 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,679 Speaker 2: thought this might be the last year for Tomlin in 564 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 2: Pittsburgh and maybe Aaron Rodgers, like they were all in 565 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,679 Speaker 2: together for this one year and then Aaron would go 566 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,679 Speaker 2: on his way and Mike Tomlin would go into TV. 567 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,199 Speaker 2: But here they are leading the division and we have 568 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,359 Speaker 2: no other reason to think that they won't be there 569 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:49,719 Speaker 2: at the very end of the season. 570 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 13: The last two weeks had been incredible for the Steelers. 571 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 13: They beat the Vikings in Ireland and the rest of 572 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,640 Speaker 13: the division has gone a combined ohen six. So here 573 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 13: they are and the Bengal they're done. The Ravens seem 574 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 13: to be done. And this is just a reminder and look, 575 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,400 Speaker 13: I don't want to complain about the business that we've chosen, 576 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 13: but we spend the off season talking about how the 577 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,920 Speaker 13: next season's gonna go with this assumption that everyone's gonna 578 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 13: stay healthy. We know guys are gonna get injured. It's 579 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 13: bad for him to say, well, this guy could get injured, 580 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 13: that guy can get injured, but we. 581 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 3: Know it's gonna happen. 582 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 13: Five weeks to the day since the regular season began, 583 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 13: the Ravens and the Bengals have been decimated. 584 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,639 Speaker 3: For the Bengals, all it took was one guy. For 585 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 3: the Ravens. It's a bunch of guys, but it changes everything. 586 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,439 Speaker 13: And here are the Steelers at three and one, and 587 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 13: they're sitting pretty and it's working. They finally had a 588 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 13: game where both the offense and the defense showed up 589 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,239 Speaker 13: at the same time and they got that win. 590 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 3: They stole one from the Patriots. They shouldn't have won. 591 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 13: But here they are, and yeah, that's you know, as 592 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 13: a wise man once said. 593 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 1: They're sweaty played games. 594 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 3: And that's part of the fun of it. 595 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 13: Because right now, Dan, who's the best team in the AFC? 596 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 3: I really don't know the answer to that question. 597 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 2: Is there a chance that Deshaun Watson plays again. 598 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 3: Well for the Browns this year? Probably not. 599 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 13: There's a subtext where he's trying to get healthy and 600 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 13: at some point he shows up with a doctor's slip 601 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 13: saying this man is cleared to play football, and the 602 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 13: Browns have to make a decision. They're not going to 603 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 13: cut him because that would trigger a one hundred and 604 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 13: thirty five million dollars dead cap charge next year. They're 605 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 13: trying to ride out this contract because they structured it 606 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 13: so the bigger cap hits come later when the cap 607 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 13: is higher. But but the other thing to keep in mind, 608 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 13: there's an insurance policy that covers him for this year. 609 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 13: If he plays, that insurance policy becomes jeopardized. I don't 610 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 13: know how much they would lose by way of the 611 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 13: money they get for the insurance they had against injury. 612 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 13: It gets a little complicated. I think they'd like to 613 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 13: finesse it. So he's on the team and he's around, 614 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 13: but he's not on the roster, and we'll see if 615 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 13: it comes to that. But there's other business issues that 616 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 13: go into this calculation. But at this point, I don't 617 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 13: think there's any Browns fan that is curious to see 618 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 13: what the sh Sean Watson can do on the football field. 619 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 13: They're ready to move on from him, but the reality 620 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 13: is he's most likely going to be on the team 621 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 13: through twenty twenty six. 622 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 2: Have you ever done a list of the worst decisions 623 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 2: made in NFL history? Like if I said the Browns 624 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 2: moved on from Baker Mayfield and now he's an MVP 625 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 2: candidate in Tampa and then you go all in and 626 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 2: sign Deshaun Watson. Has there been a decision that has 627 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 2: been worse than that in NFL history? 628 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 3: No? 629 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 13: No, And I've said before without the Baker Mayfield angle, 630 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 13: the Deshaun Watson contract and trade is the single worst 631 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 13: transaction in NFL history because it's the combination of and 632 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 13: we get caught up in the money. 633 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 3: Two hundred and thirty million. 634 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 13: Fully guaranteed, it's easy to lose sight of the three 635 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 13: first round picks and multiple other picks that were sent 636 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 13: to Houston. Those are affordable young players who become the 637 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 13: nucleus of your team if you use the picks right. 638 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 13: They've lost all those guys, and so the fact that 639 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 13: they're even able to win a game, the fact that 640 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 13: they went to the playoffs two years ago, is remarkable 641 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 13: given what they gave up to get Deshaun Watson. So 642 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 13: they gave up a lot. They've paid them a lot, 643 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 13: they've got nothing in return. Yes, I believe firmly that that. 644 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 13: If there was a list, I don't know what. 645 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 3: Number two would be, but number one would be the 646 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 3: Deshaun Watson acquisition by the Browns. 647 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 5: But what about the Herschel Walker trade? 648 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 3: That would be that's probably number two, right, number two? 649 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 5: Right number two, Ricky Williams with the Saints. Is that up. 650 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 2: They gave up all their draft picks and Mike Dickett 651 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 2: wanted to go play golf, and so take that. 652 00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 5: That's in there. 653 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 3: That's in there now. 654 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 2: Now. 655 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 13: Back in those days, again, the draft picks made a 656 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 13: lot more money relative to what they make now. The 657 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 13: important thing to remember now, since twenty eleven, they have 658 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 13: configured the rookie pay system so that those guys are 659 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 13: cheap and you have them for four years. If it's 660 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 13: a first round pick, you have them for five years. 661 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 13: And that's how how you manage a team where you 662 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 13: pay a few guys market value. The guts of your 663 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 13: team are these young guys that you have gotten for 664 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 13: peanuts in comparison what cost to get a veteran. 665 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 5: Great stuff is always Mike, have a great weekend. 666 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us, buddy, Thanks, Dan good talking to 667 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 2: Mike Florio. 668 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 669 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 1: the nation.

He's got the Monday 676 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,920 Speaker 2: night game between the Bears and the Commanders. Always good 677 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 2: to see. 678 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 5: Ross. 679 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 2: What do you expect out of this Eagle offense now? 680 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 2: Because I'm confused that there's still it seems like trying 681 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 2: to find their identity of what kind of offense they 682 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 2: are or they want to be. 683 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 11: I think, Dan, that they're going to get back to 684 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 11: what they had success with last year, which is running 685 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 11: the football. Now, they have not run it as well 686 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,280 Speaker 11: this year as they did last year. I think the 687 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 11: biggest reason for that is probably the offensive line. You know, 688 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 11: for whatever reason, and there's a couple of them, they 689 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,760 Speaker 11: have not performed as well as it did last year. 690 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 11: I thought last year they were pretty clearly the best 691 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 11: offensive line in the NFL. 692 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 6: This year, they haven't been. 693 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 11: I don't even know if they were a top five 694 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 11: unit with how they played yead guys like Jurgens at center, 695 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 11: Landon Dickerson left guard, who's now out again coming off 696 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:46,720 Speaker 11: of major surgeries. You have a new right guarden, Tyler Steen, 697 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 11: and it just has not looked the same as it 698 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:51,800 Speaker 11: did last year. 699 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 6: Although in fairness, they. 700 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:56,760 Speaker 11: Also only gave Saquon Barkley the ball one time last 701 00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 11: week against Denver when they had a two touchdown. My 702 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 11: guess is that going against a Giants run defense that's 703 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:09,360 Speaker 11: been really bad for a while, and Saquon yet again 704 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:13,520 Speaker 11: playing against his former team in a primetime game, this 705 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 11: feels to me like a Saquon Barkley breakout game, Like 706 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 11: a big Saquon Barkley game. 707 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:21,799 Speaker 6: You would think if they were going to do it, 708 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 6: tonight would. 709 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:22,719 Speaker 11: Be the night. 710 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,760 Speaker 5: So this will be a market correction with the Eagles. 711 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:28,239 Speaker 6: I would think. 712 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:32,680 Speaker 11: So. Listen, They're just too talented to not be better 713 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:36,400 Speaker 11: on offense. I mean, we said this last year, but 714 00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 11: last year they had the best running back in the sport, 715 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,719 Speaker 11: they had the best offensive line in the sport. They 716 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:46,200 Speaker 11: had one of the two or three best wide receiver duos, 717 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 11: they had a top five tight end, Super Bowl MVP quarterback. 718 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,040 Speaker 6: Those guys are all still there. You know, they had 719 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 6: ten of the eleven starters returning this year. 720 00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,799 Speaker 11: So I think sometimes since they don't play the preseason 721 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,800 Speaker 11: at all, teams are playing them a little bit differently. 722 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 6: I guess I don't know when it'll fully. 723 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:11,400 Speaker 11: Click, Dan, but I would be surprised if in December 724 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 11: when I come on with you, we're still talking about 725 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 11: the Eagles issues offensively. I think they have a new 726 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 11: offensive coordinator that makes a difference. Some guys aren't playing 727 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 11: as well as they did last year, and defenses are 728 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 11: playing them differently as they should, and they're kind of 729 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 11: trying to figure out the best plan of attack. 730 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 5: How much of an upgrade is Joe Flacco for the Bengals, You. 731 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:37,320 Speaker 6: Know, that's a great question. 732 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 11: I'm not sure because a couple of years ago, I 733 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:47,360 Speaker 11: thought Browning was outstanding for the Bengals as their backup 734 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,560 Speaker 11: and really played well. I mean, there's a reason why 735 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:53,360 Speaker 11: he's been the backup the last couple of years because 736 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,160 Speaker 11: of how well he did whatever that was I think 737 00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 11: it was twenty twenty three. You know, he did so 738 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,920 Speaker 11: well they were pretty happy with him him as a backup. 739 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,680 Speaker 11: I think the Bengals, I don't want to say caught 740 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 11: flat footed, Dan, but I think they were surprised that 741 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,279 Speaker 11: he didn't play better. I think they really thought he's 742 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,480 Speaker 11: been in this system for a few years, he played 743 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 11: well when given the opportunity in twenty twenty three. 744 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:17,800 Speaker 6: It's kind of stunning. 745 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 11: Maybe even it sounds like to Browning the way based 746 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:22,760 Speaker 11: on how he's talking that. 747 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 6: He didn't play better. 748 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:29,279 Speaker 11: The Flacco thing is fascinating because I think that they 749 00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:33,480 Speaker 11: are trying to give their fans and maybe even the 750 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:34,920 Speaker 11: locker room some hope. 751 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 6: You know, it's not an organization that likes to really. 752 00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 11: Spend, and they went out and they're they're paying Hendrickson 753 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:45,120 Speaker 11: and Chase and Higgins. They don't want to give up 754 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:49,160 Speaker 11: on this year. Yet they're still suggesting that Joe Burrow 755 00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 11: could come back later in the year. I would just 756 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,319 Speaker 11: say this, Dan, I highly doubt it. I mean, I 757 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 11: highly doubt we will see Joe Burrow this season. I 758 00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,719 Speaker 11: guess if Flacco can surprise and they're still in the 759 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:05,960 Speaker 11: playoff race in December, then maybe Burrow would try to 760 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,680 Speaker 11: come back at that point. But I don't think they'll 761 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:10,600 Speaker 11: still be in the playoff race at that point. I 762 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,200 Speaker 11: don't think Flacco will play that well. I think if 763 00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:16,279 Speaker 11: Flacco was playing that well, he would still be the 764 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:20,200 Speaker 11: quarterback in Cleveland, although he also didn't have these receivers. 765 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:22,720 Speaker 11: You know, we've seen Flacco a couple of years ago 766 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,440 Speaker 11: when he took the Browns the playoffs thrown all over 767 00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:29,200 Speaker 11: the place. I know this much, Dan, he's forty, he's 768 00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:30,720 Speaker 11: made over two hundred million dollars. 769 00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,439 Speaker 6: He doesn't care. I mean, it should be entertaining as heck. 770 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:38,400 Speaker 11: I'm hoping that Flaco just chucks it to Higgins and 771 00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:42,439 Speaker 11: Chase and that the Bengals become very, very entertaining, if 772 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 11: nothing else. 773 00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:47,640 Speaker 2: The brown situation they've moved on. Now where you ship 774 00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:51,120 Speaker 2: Flacco to Cincinnati. Now you have your two rookies in there. 775 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:55,320 Speaker 2: And I thought Dylan Gabriel handled being overseas your first 776 00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:59,080 Speaker 2: start and against a complex defense like the Vikings. But 777 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:03,120 Speaker 2: I just wonder, and the Browns are doing what I 778 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,680 Speaker 2: was hoping they would do it. Let's give these two 779 00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,879 Speaker 2: kids enough of a runway where we're going to find 780 00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:12,160 Speaker 2: out if they're a starting quarterback. Maybe they're destined to 781 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,719 Speaker 2: be a backup quarterback. But what do you make of 782 00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:19,360 Speaker 2: this situation of the Are the Browns saying we're waiting 783 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:23,280 Speaker 2: until next year already? By making this move by getting 784 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:26,800 Speaker 2: rid of Flacco, they are very clearly. 785 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,480 Speaker 11: You know they always say we have one eye on 786 00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:33,560 Speaker 11: the president, one eye on the future. Well, the Browns 787 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,920 Speaker 11: at this point have like a magnifying glass on that 788 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 11: eye that's looking at the future. I mean, just look 789 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:44,200 Speaker 11: at the trades they've made this week. Okay, you move 790 00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:46,919 Speaker 11: on from Flacco. You're not doing that because you're trying 791 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,800 Speaker 11: to win more games this year. You're doing that because 792 00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:51,880 Speaker 11: you want to take a look at both Gabriel and 793 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:55,080 Speaker 11: should Or Sanders. And I do think should Or unless 794 00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:59,319 Speaker 11: Gabriel plays very very well, I would imagine that we. 795 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,320 Speaker 6: Would see should door for at least three or four. 796 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,160 Speaker 11: Games this year, because I think they want to know 797 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,680 Speaker 11: at the end of this year, is Gabriel one two 798 00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:08,280 Speaker 11: or three? 799 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 6: Is Shadora one too or three? What do we have? 800 00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:15,040 Speaker 11: And then they make this trade yesterday with the Jaguars 801 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:16,840 Speaker 11: flopping cornerbacks. 802 00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:19,480 Speaker 6: Think about that. Okay, why would they do that? 803 00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:23,640 Speaker 11: Because Greg Newsom is a free agent after this season? 804 00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:27,760 Speaker 11: They probably don't want to pay Greg Newsom the huge 805 00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:32,280 Speaker 11: money he's gonna get. Tyson Campbell meanwhile, got his big 806 00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:36,640 Speaker 11: contract before last season. The Jaguars have already given them 807 00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 11: the big bonus, already given them a lot of. 808 00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:40,240 Speaker 6: The guaranteed money. 809 00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:45,799 Speaker 11: So now the Browns have Tyson Campbell cost controlled for 810 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,880 Speaker 11: the rest of this year twenty twenty six, twenty twenty seven. 811 00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:52,400 Speaker 11: So the Browns I think, are making some shrewd moves 812 00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,680 Speaker 11: to set themselves up to be as competitive as possible 813 00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,320 Speaker 11: next year, and that includes finding out. 814 00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,120 Speaker 6: What they have with Gabriel and Shador. It's kind of 815 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,120 Speaker 6: funny because, obviously Dan. 816 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,319 Speaker 11: They want Gabriel to play as well as possible, I mean, 817 00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,400 Speaker 11: hopefully Gabriel is a starter and they love him, but 818 00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,040 Speaker 11: they also kind of, I think, want to see what 819 00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:15,040 Speaker 11: Shador has at some point, so that will be really 820 00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:18,919 Speaker 11: interesting to see. I mean, it wasn't that surprising when 821 00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,200 Speaker 11: they moved on from Flacco to Gabriel. I think it 822 00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:24,360 Speaker 11: will be actually interesting when they move on from Gabriel 823 00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:25,760 Speaker 11: to Shador if that happens. 824 00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:30,280 Speaker 2: Ross Tucker, CBS Sports Westwood One analyst the Ross Tucker 825 00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:35,440 Speaker 2: Football Podcast. How important is this game? Sunday, the Chiefs 826 00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:37,759 Speaker 2: and the Lions for Kansas City. 827 00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:40,560 Speaker 6: I'd say vary at this point. 828 00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:44,880 Speaker 11: You know, now they're fortunate that the Broncos have lost 829 00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:48,640 Speaker 11: a couple close ones and that the Chargers are so 830 00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:51,920 Speaker 11: beat up as always. I mean, Dan, there's certain teams, 831 00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:56,000 Speaker 11: the Niners, the Chargers, the Lions, I don't I mean, 832 00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 11: I heard you talking about DraftKings earlier. We should all 833 00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:02,920 Speaker 11: every year he's bet the over injuries for those three teams. 834 00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:06,359 Speaker 11: It's unbelievable. And so now the Chargers are in a 835 00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:09,279 Speaker 11: bad spot, so that makes it a little bit more 836 00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:10,960 Speaker 11: palatable for the Chiefs. 837 00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,600 Speaker 6: But he still can't go to two and four, right. 838 00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,279 Speaker 11: I Mean, what they're looking like they're headed for is 839 00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:19,799 Speaker 11: having to win some road playoff games, which they did 840 00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:20,799 Speaker 11: a couple of years ago. 841 00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:24,600 Speaker 6: But this is a big game. I think they don't 842 00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:25,839 Speaker 6: want to get to two and four. 843 00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:29,160 Speaker 11: Three and three's a lot different, and I really like 844 00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:32,640 Speaker 11: the Chiefs in this game quite a bit. The Lions 845 00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:34,959 Speaker 11: are just getting too beat up again. You know, they're 846 00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,799 Speaker 11: missing a couple of d linemen, but now they're down 847 00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:42,320 Speaker 11: Terry and Arnold at corner, so they're without their top corners, right, 848 00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:46,920 Speaker 11: when Mahomes and the Chiefs passing game is starting to 849 00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:48,720 Speaker 11: click a little bit with Xavier Worthy. 850 00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,120 Speaker 6: They'll get Rashi Rice back soon. 851 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,479 Speaker 11: I think the second half of the year, we're gonna 852 00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:57,080 Speaker 11: see probably the best Chiefs offense we've seen in a 853 00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:57,720 Speaker 11: couple of years. 854 00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,120 Speaker 5: How does Baker Mayfield MVP. 855 00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:05,080 Speaker 11: Keep doing what he's doing. I mean, he's got my 856 00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:08,360 Speaker 11: vote right now, you know, because not only is he 857 00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,280 Speaker 11: playing awesome, he's just so fun to watch. 858 00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,760 Speaker 6: Why can't every guy be like Baker? 859 00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:18,759 Speaker 11: It is funny though, because when he was in Cleveland 860 00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:23,360 Speaker 11: and would act certain ways, people would say he was 861 00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:28,839 Speaker 11: a brasher, immature. You know, now that he's winning and 862 00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:32,759 Speaker 11: he's with the Bucks, now it's moxie and guts. You know, 863 00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,120 Speaker 11: like he said, up still acting the same, I'm just 864 00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:37,960 Speaker 11: playing better and there's. 865 00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:41,240 Speaker 6: A lot of truth to that. But love watching him. Listen. 866 00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:44,720 Speaker 11: They have been so beat up on their offensive line 867 00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:47,839 Speaker 11: and they haven't had a game yet with both Mike 868 00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:49,160 Speaker 11: Evans and Chris Godwin. 869 00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:51,200 Speaker 6: When they get Geticky. 870 00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:53,800 Speaker 11: Back at right tackle and then they have Mike Evans, 871 00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:58,359 Speaker 11: Godwin and Abuka at receiver, I mean we might need 872 00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,600 Speaker 11: to start talking about the Bucks as being as much 873 00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:03,879 Speaker 11: of a favorite to go to the Super Bowl from 874 00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,479 Speaker 11: the NFC as anybody. You can put Detroit in there, 875 00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:11,400 Speaker 11: Green Bay, the Eagles. Whoever, when when the Bucks are healthy, 876 00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:13,520 Speaker 11: I think they were as good as anybody. 877 00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:15,440 Speaker 5: Before I let you go. 878 00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,680 Speaker 2: Do you ever have a moment like the coach treating 879 00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:22,120 Speaker 2: you the way Jonathan Gannon acted on the sidelines. 880 00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:25,760 Speaker 5: With the Cardinals. Did anybody ever put their hands on you, 881 00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:26,560 Speaker 5: get in your face? 882 00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:28,439 Speaker 6: No? 883 00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,160 Speaker 11: I don't ever remember that, And I think that's a 884 00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:36,600 Speaker 11: really really good thing, Dan, because you know, even though 885 00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:40,440 Speaker 11: I'm smaller now and I'm more mild tempered, I guess 886 00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:45,440 Speaker 11: when you're out there, Okay, I thought Dan, in my 887 00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:50,239 Speaker 11: head for those three hours, I thought I was the biggest, 888 00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:52,960 Speaker 11: baddest dude in the world. And I had to have 889 00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:56,080 Speaker 11: that mentality to be able to compete with those guys 890 00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:59,600 Speaker 11: I was going against. I was ready, and I often 891 00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:03,759 Speaker 11: did hit anything that moved. We can't get in this 892 00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:09,440 Speaker 11: scenario where coaches are touching NFL players. That's not gonna 893 00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:11,759 Speaker 11: go well for the coaches a lot of times. I mean, 894 00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:15,400 Speaker 11: I think he's fortunate that de Mercado was, you know, 895 00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:15,959 Speaker 11: took it. 896 00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:18,640 Speaker 6: That way, and I guess was sad, but there are 897 00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:20,200 Speaker 6: other guys don't. 898 00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,240 Speaker 11: It's hard to see from the video exactly what he did, 899 00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,600 Speaker 11: but that would not go well if you look at 900 00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:27,520 Speaker 11: it over time. 901 00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:30,560 Speaker 6: If there's a lot of coaches touching a lot of. 902 00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:33,920 Speaker 11: Players, that will not go well for the coaches and 903 00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:36,640 Speaker 11: could lead to some really, really ugly incidents. 904 00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:41,799 Speaker 2: We were asked our favorite sandwiches. I'm sure you, being 905 00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:46,560 Speaker 2: in a ficionado of both hot and cold sandwiches, would 906 00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:48,320 Speaker 2: you like to give us your favorites. 907 00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:51,719 Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean my favorite cold sandwich is just any 908 00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,680 Speaker 11: type of Italian sub absolutely love it. I mean, you 909 00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:57,040 Speaker 11: can heat it up if you want, but you know, 910 00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:04,799 Speaker 11: the pepperoni, the salami, the Capacola, American cheese, spicy mustard obviously, which, 911 00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:08,480 Speaker 11: by the way, there are still some restaurants out there 912 00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:11,880 Speaker 11: and sandwich shops that don't have deli or spicy mustard, 913 00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:16,040 Speaker 11: and they're literally selling Deli sandwiches. They're very well known. 914 00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:18,080 Speaker 11: They might be a sponsor, so I won't call them out. 915 00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:21,840 Speaker 11: The hot sandwich everybody already knows. The greatest sandwich of 916 00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:26,600 Speaker 11: all time is the sausage McMuffin with egg for McDonald's 917 00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:27,600 Speaker 11: everybody knows this. 918 00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:29,240 Speaker 6: There shouldn't be a debate. 919 00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:35,200 Speaker 11: Sausage McMuffin with egg for McDonald's still undefeated, the greatest 920 00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:38,200 Speaker 11: hot sandwich of all time. I used to get three, 921 00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:41,800 Speaker 11: Now I only get two because I'm crazy healthy. 922 00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:43,319 Speaker 5: Great to talk to you. 923 00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:48,480 Speaker 2: Thank you for giving us those great sandwich suggestions. Oh please, 924 00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:51,880 Speaker 2: Paully's got his head in his hand right now. 925 00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:54,200 Speaker 7: You're so disappointed, Ross, You're so much better than that 926 00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:56,000 Speaker 7: in what way? 927 00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:56,479 Speaker 6: What? 928 00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:59,520 Speaker 7: I love a sausage, egg and cheese, but there's bigger, 929 00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:02,520 Speaker 7: better ones out there, and you should know that. Like 930 00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:05,520 Speaker 7: what I'm just saying, I love the sandwich choice sausage, 931 00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:08,959 Speaker 7: egg and cheese, but McDonald's not necessarily the best. 932 00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:13,240 Speaker 6: It's delicious. You haven't had one in a long. 933 00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:16,400 Speaker 5: Time, that's true. Yeah, Paul likes his sausage, EG and 934 00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:17,560 Speaker 5: cheese a little more bespoke. 935 00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:23,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, a nicer bread and nauc Yeah, range free. 936 00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:24,800 Speaker 5: I want to be. 937 00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:28,600 Speaker 7: Actually more like in a crummy deli. I'm also find 938 00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:29,960 Speaker 7: with a deli that looks like it's not. 939 00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:33,080 Speaker 5: Up to code. 940 00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,520 Speaker 2: Thank you, Ross, Great to you boys, have a great weekend. 941 00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:37,680 Speaker 2: That's Ross Tucker
