Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Oh, we made it to a Friday to
Speaker 1: meet Friday. Welcome to the program, Ryan and Honolulu yesterday
Speaker 1: to close out the show. I was laughing after the
Speaker 1: show yesterday afternoon. I just started laughing, and my wife goes,
Speaker 1: what's so funny? I go, dead dad humor? And she
Speaker 1: goes what And I had to explain and she still
Speaker 1: didn't think it was funny. And she goes, why do
Speaker 1: you make fun of the fact your dad is dead?
Speaker 1: I go, no, I'm not making fun of it. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying I'm never mind. It's one of those never
Speaker 1: mind you wouldn't get it. And his father in law
Speaker 1: they just had the funeral. It was like the day before. Yeah. See,
Speaker 1: I'm a little troubled that Ryan is having so much
Speaker 1: fun with his father in law being dead. Is he
Speaker 1: allowed to make that joke? Well? I just wonder how
Speaker 1: his wife is taking this, because I can say something
Speaker 1: about my father, but I'd have to check with my
Speaker 1: wife if I was talking about her father being dead. Yes, Todd,
Speaker 1: I've met Ryan and his wife in Hawaii and she
Speaker 1: seems very supportive. But there's got to be a line
Speaker 1: for everyone, especially you're talking about comments like jokes, like
Speaker 1: on a national radio and TV. Yeah, yeah, welcome to
Speaker 1: the program. Because when you're doing it about your own dad,
Speaker 1: it's like one thing. But then he's like, my father
Speaker 1: law's dead. I don't know that you're allowed to be
Speaker 1: that happy about that. The audience was like him a
Speaker 1: little stif. I got a cold reception. Yeah, Paul, I
Speaker 1: don't know it's wife's reaction. But remember aloha also means goodbye. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I agree, I agree. I was gonna do all the
Speaker 1: you know, paperwork I normally do when I start the show,
Speaker 1: but Paully stopped me in my tracks. As I was,
Speaker 1: I was walking over here on my side, getting ready
Speaker 1: to prepare for this award nominated program, and Paully goes, stop,
Speaker 1: don't check your email, no social media. And I go, well,
Speaker 1: what's the story. Let me get everybody in here, and
Speaker 1: and he's like, Pauli's real serious. I go, you're not
Speaker 1: landing planes at lax here. But he gave me that stuff.
Speaker 1: I go okay, And I said, is this the tear
Speaker 1: up the rundown We're gonna change? Like? Does this change
Speaker 1: the complexion of the show here? And uh, he said,
Speaker 1: nobody checked their social media. We need to unbook guests
Speaker 1: and rebook. I said, well, you gotta let me know here, Paul,
Speaker 1: I'm going on the air in a couple of minutes.
Speaker 1: I was kind of hoping that this piece of news
Speaker 1: could be broken on the air. Okay, well, then wait,
Speaker 1: did somebody check? I didn't check my social media? McLevin,
Speaker 1: did you do it? No? But I got like four
Speaker 1: texts on my phone from my fantasy football partners that
Speaker 1: are implying one way or the other. Okay, you could
Speaker 1: have not checked your phone for two minute, didn't we say?
Speaker 1: It lit up? Right? It lit up, and it said
Speaker 1: you do this all the time. I didn't check. And
Speaker 1: by the way, whatever, this is so obvious. I think
Speaker 1: you're lying. I just got to check this text from
Speaker 1: John Hershey. It says can't wait for blank to start
Speaker 1: for us. Okay, all right, Pa, pall here's you see?
Speaker 1: This is Paulli lives for this stuff. Mclovin breaking news?
Speaker 1: All right? Is it really breaking news? But Paully gave
Speaker 1: away too many clues. He wasn't neutral enough to not
Speaker 1: imply who is going to win the job? All right, Pa?
Speaker 1: Set up the topic. Okay, this is no one in
Speaker 1: the room knows the answer this question. Blank has been
Speaker 1: named the starter for the New Orleans Saints. Blank has
Speaker 1: been named the starter for New Orlean Luca. Anybody have
Speaker 1: a guess. I'm gonna stay with the guests I've had
Speaker 1: for months now. It's Jamis Winston. It seems so obvious
Speaker 1: to me that it has to be Jameis Winston mclovin.
Speaker 1: If it wasn't Jamis Winston's, Paul's head would have been
Speaker 1: on fire, and it was not. And by way, if
Speaker 1: it's Taysom of them, we're all wrong. But based on
Speaker 1: the way PAULI introduced the topic, it's exciting, but it's
Speaker 1: not rip up the Rundown exciting. Okay. So now I think, though,
Speaker 1: that it's more exciting for Paul because I think he
Speaker 1: believes Taysom Hill should be the starter and he's not.
Speaker 1: So now he's like, that's what has him so excited
Speaker 1: about this story? Okay. Can we get the news out
Speaker 1: first and then we can start to editorial line pretty soon.
Speaker 1: But I think McGloin is. I think mclovin's a Taysom
Speaker 1: hillist in the room because I actually was jabbing Taysom
Speaker 1: Hill and mcglovin went to war with me yesterday's off air, saying,
Speaker 1: you know Taysom Hill's numbers, Look at them, They're really nice.
Speaker 1: They're they're not that you did go you are a
Speaker 1: Taysom hillist. Well, you guys can't get over as BYU,
Speaker 1: the fact that he couldn't play quarterback at all. At BYU.
Speaker 1: He's raised the bar a little bit. Okay, raise the
Speaker 1: bar from one. Well, you look at his stats last year.
Speaker 1: If you didn't know his name was Taysom Hilly, be like, Okay,
Speaker 1: that's a that's a borderline Pro Bowl quarterback. He's throwing
Speaker 1: for like three hundred yards a game winning. If the
Speaker 1: Saints somehow announced that Blaine Gabbert was the starter, I
Speaker 1: would then I would be shocked. Whoa I didn't even
Speaker 1: realize they got him. Josh Rosen, Yeah, okay, the starting
Speaker 1: quarterback for the New Orleans Saints will be in Week one.
Speaker 1: Yeah it's James went, okay, thank you, there we go.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. The way Paulie reacted to this, like
Speaker 1: he turned around from his desk, almost like he was
Speaker 1: playing the role of a producer. Turns around and so
Speaker 1: stop right now, and I went, okay, what and then
Speaker 1: he goes, don't check your social media? And I'm like,
Speaker 1: I don't check social media? All right? Nobody in the room.
Speaker 1: Then he waited to all the Danets once in a
Speaker 1: while works today didn't work? Did he gave it a shot?
Speaker 1: Nobody in the room. Yeah, nobody in the room. Check
Speaker 1: your social media. That's an on some questionable website. I
Speaker 1: didn't have to worry about him. Oh. This program brought

Speaker 1: All right, welcome to the program. Already in progress. Final
Speaker 1: week of the preseason kicks off tonight, first time the
Speaker 1: NFL has had just three preseason games. Different philosophies coming
Speaker 1: up tonight. Do you play your starters? How long do
Speaker 1: you play your starters? Or is this about backups? Because
Speaker 1: normally that final preseason game is about guys trying to
Speaker 1: make the roster. And think about this, there are guys
Speaker 1: who are playing tonight or this weekend, who may not
Speaker 1: play football again, and they've been preparing all their life
Speaker 1: for this moment to make a team, stay with the team,
Speaker 1: and that performance tonight could gain them the last spot
Speaker 1: on the roster, maybe the practice squad. It's a little
Speaker 1: bit different, and if you watch Hard Knocks, you know
Speaker 1: the human side of sports. Certainly this moment in the preseason,
Speaker 1: it's a big deal. It's not the best football I
Speaker 1: think we can all agree on that, but the chance
Speaker 1: to tune into a game late in that game, just
Speaker 1: remember that these guys still going for their NFL dreams.
Speaker 1: Coming up tonight, Play of the day, stat of the day,

Speaker 1: is a Friday, that's a meat Friday. Three of the
Speaker 1: four Tragger Girls are fired up barbecue, barbecue, chicken, bacon
Speaker 1: ranch sandwiches. Whoa brown sugar and bacon wrapped Smokey's like
Speaker 1: little hot dogs, Lil Lil smokey. How many seconds does
Speaker 1: that take off our life? Each smoking? Again, remember earlier
Speaker 1: this week, no pauty five seconds per hot dog. It's
Speaker 1: something thirty five minutes per hot dog. We did the
Speaker 1: math and thirty five minutes. Yeah, each hot dog holy smoke,
Speaker 1: according to a Helstone, takes thirty five minutes of your life. Right, So,
Speaker 1: if you're a fifty year old man and you've had
Speaker 1: twenty hot dogs a year, you've cut twenty four days
Speaker 1: off your life. On the back end, is it worth it? Yes? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: So if you're eighty nine and a half or eighty
Speaker 1: nine and three quarters, all those hot dogs are awesome
Speaker 1: because when I get to be eighty nine, I'm gonna gainst.
Speaker 1: The final twenty four days aren't going to be very good, right,
Speaker 1: So all right, I'll give up twenty four on the
Speaker 1: back end. Yeah, all right, I'm fine with it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the club, but for hot dogs. Maybe for pizza or
Speaker 1: ice cream, but I don't I know Pollie does, But
Speaker 1: I don't play hot dogs in anywhere near that category. Man,
Speaker 1: what's your past? Eight years old? There's something really hot.
Speaker 1: Then you move on to more mature food like pizza,
Speaker 1: and then you go to sausage, yes, don't leave that
Speaker 1: at the kids table. Those hot dogs. Yeah, barbecue with
Speaker 1: the basics of hot dogs and hamburgers and go into
Speaker 1: a bulgum. Imagine going your whole life to sporting events,
Speaker 1: especially a ballpark, and staying away from hot dogs because
Speaker 1: you have this nutrition fear. Thank you to welcome. There's
Speaker 1: there's the grill makes the hot dog like. There's just
Speaker 1: something about a grill that's been used quite a bit
Speaker 1: and you put that hot dog on there and it's
Speaker 1: still good to go. You toast the bun and I
Speaker 1: have one the other day playing golf. Made the turn
Speaker 1: said I'm gonna get a dog because it had to
Speaker 1: be National Hot Dog Day or week or month or
Speaker 1: who knows. It felt feels like that with Paulie. You know,
Speaker 1: yesterday it was National Dog Day. We didn't celebrate. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: my puppy didn't get a day. We didn't celebrate. But
Speaker 1: if it was National hot Dog Day, Chili dog Day,
Speaker 1: put onions on a dog day. Yes, it was super
Speaker 1: hot yesterday too and it was National dog Okay, thank you.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be one of those shows and I think
Speaker 1: so already is Oh by the way, we got a
Speaker 1: new imitation. Now, Jimmy Jimmerson is really setting the sports
Speaker 1: world on fire. He's our resident analyst who doesn't say anything,
Speaker 1: but takes a long time to not say anything. Give
Speaker 1: us a sample, Jimmy Jimmerson, the New Orleans Saints him
Speaker 1: named Jamis Winston. Let's go to our former NFL player
Speaker 1: and our analyst, Jimmy Jimmerson. Jim like anyone who's been
Speaker 1: following the preseason, knew it was Jamis all along. Okay. Now,
Speaker 1: I've talked to people in the locker room, and to
Speaker 1: a man, they all said Jamis was the guy. So
Speaker 1: it's really not much of a surprise at all. To
Speaker 1: a man. Wow, that's when it gets serious to a man.
Speaker 1: When the analysts said, it is what it is, when
Speaker 1: is it not? It is what it is at the
Speaker 1: end of the day. Sometimes it is to a man
Speaker 1: at the end of the day. It might not be
Speaker 1: what it was in the national football in the national Okay,
Speaker 1: So Seaton's got a new impersonation. And I didn't realize
Speaker 1: that he had this in him, but earlier this morning
Speaker 1: he was laughing and I go, what are you doing?
Speaker 1: He goes, oh, I got a new impersonation. Okay, I
Speaker 1: don't know if anybody else is doing this impersonation, but
Speaker 1: somebody's gonna have to let me know if this is
Speaker 1: a good impersonation. Here it is seating O'Connor with his
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott impersonation. If you if you watch Hard Knocks,
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott is either doing one or of two things.
Speaker 1: He's either eating a bunch of snacks, usually super sugary snacks,
Speaker 1: or all he does is laugh, which is funny for
Speaker 1: me to say. But all he does is he'll be
Speaker 1: sitting in like the quarterback meeting for some reason, sitting
Speaker 1: next to de Oh my gosh, it's almost like Darius Rucker.
Speaker 1: It's a little bit yeah, uh okay, oh my GOSHU

Speaker 1: check out the schedule. Don't forget to sign up for Peacock.

Speaker 1: tv dot com to get started. Ronaldo headed to the
Speaker 1: Premier League. Maybe doesn't get no, you get the feeling
Speaker 1: nobody else wants Ronaldo that he's almost saying, Hey, anybody
Speaker 1: anybody interested in me? Roger Bennett, men and Blazers will
Speaker 1: join us a little bit later on. We'll talk about that.
Speaker 1: I think you got your super League. I think with
Speaker 1: MESSI like it's I don't know, they're they're moving parts here.
Speaker 1: But we'll talk to Roger Bennett about that big move
Speaker 1: that Ronaldo may be going to the Premier League, the
Speaker 1: Premiership mclovin, what kind of poll question do you have?
Speaker 1: Do we do the food poll question? You can only
Speaker 1: have one of these foods on your desert island. Do
Speaker 1: you think hot dog can battle my pizza and ice cream? Okay? Noah?
Speaker 1: What else? Okay? Uh? You can only watch one this weekend.
Speaker 1: And this is going to sound like a slam dunk,
Speaker 1: but it's not college football Week zero? Okay. First of all, yeah,
Speaker 1: I hate that week zeros. I mean, if you're playing
Speaker 1: this weekend and it's week zero and it's being called
Speaker 1: that refer to that does week zero even count? It shouldn't.
Speaker 1: It's week zero zero? Then why is it week one?
Speaker 1: I don't know, Like Nebraska and Illinois are playing UCLA
Speaker 1: in Hawaii, you're playing Why why do I have to
Speaker 1: have week zero? Unless Coke zero is sponsoring this, then
Speaker 1: that you shouldn't put week zero on that, yeah, point,
Speaker 1: it's a small slate. I don't think college game days
Speaker 1: going to UTEP New Mexico State, so it's almost like
Speaker 1: it feels like it's a primer. They have a weekend
Speaker 1: with no NFL football and they throw out five games nationally. Okay,
Speaker 1: but just because college game Day is not going anywhere
Speaker 1: doesn't mean it's not a true college football week. All right? Well,
Speaker 1: I think they want to is it because they want
Speaker 1: to make Week one a big deal? The kickoff game
Speaker 1: Alabama Miami. It's like everything is focused on that. Okay,
Speaker 1: but week zero, could they come up with something different
Speaker 1: or just say college football this week? Why do we
Speaker 1: have to label everything? Right, this is just college football.
Speaker 1: You don't want to have opening week or whatever it is,
Speaker 1: then just say hey, college football this weekend. Then you
Speaker 1: want to go, hey, it's the official opening day of
Speaker 1: college football. Yeah, employing next weekend is saucy, by the way,
Speaker 1: holy and that's week one. On ESPN dot com, it
Speaker 1: says week two scoreboard. Actually it says week one scoreboard twice.
Speaker 1: It says a week one this weekend and next weekend.
Speaker 1: They don't have weeks here. Next weekend's slate you got
Speaker 1: Penn State, Wisconsin, Alabama, Miami, Indiana, Iowa on a great weekend, Louisiana, Texas,
Speaker 1: the rageing cage of the ranked. Nebraska and Illinois have
Speaker 1: to be playing at noon, right noon, Champagne time? And
Speaker 1: all right, I don't know if it's in Champagne. Is
Speaker 1: it noon or or at at one o'clock one o'clock Eastern? Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: Georgia Clemson next week? Yeah, yes to the week zero.
Speaker 1: Thing is not only that insulting, but think about baseball.
Speaker 1: Not everyone plays the first day of the baseball season,
Speaker 1: so it's opening day for some teams, and then you
Speaker 1: have to call it something else with the other teams
Speaker 1: that play their first games the second or third day
Speaker 1: on the calendar. It's really I would find it extremely insulting,
Speaker 1: even though I know they're trying to get a couple
Speaker 1: of teams some national exposure that they normally wouldn't get.
Speaker 1: Early seventeen after the hour will take a break. I
Speaker 1: think I just pulled the Jimmy Jimerson. There you did.
Speaker 1: I think I might have said a bunch of stuff
Speaker 1: that didn't really amount to a lot. Okay, fine, I'll
Speaker 1: admit it. My Jimmie Jamberson impression is of time. You know,
Speaker 1: I had two analysts. I had two NFL analysts. One
Speaker 1: does college as well, and he goes, are you guys
Speaker 1: making fun of me? Both guys, and I go no,
Speaker 1: why would you think that? If if, if you're you know,
Speaker 1: saying something as an analyst, then no. Jimmy Jimmerson only
Speaker 1: makes fun of the analysts who talks but doesn't say anything. Yeah,
Speaker 1: mcle and the ironies. He's dead wrong too. He's MLB
Speaker 1: just changed it so all the teams open on the
Speaker 1: same day because teams didn't like being stacked like that.
Speaker 1: Thanks as well. They should. Everyone should play on the
Speaker 1: first All right, let me take a break here. Let
Speaker 1: me took care of that. Let me let me take
Speaker 1: a break. We got a lot accomplished here, and we're

Speaker 1: Before we get to the Great Ross Tucker, let's get
Speaker 1: to Chris and Maryland, who joins us on the program. Hi, Chris,
Speaker 1: what's on your mind this morning? Hey? Damn, what's going on?
Speaker 1: I had a quick question for you. So I'm reading
Speaker 1: this book by Bill Hennessy about the Patriots dynasy, and
Speaker 1: there's a section in there that talks about when Belichick
Speaker 1: resigned as head coach of the Jets, that that crazy
Speaker 1: press conference, and I just don't have a big memory
Speaker 1: of it, So I'm sort of curious, like you, as
Speaker 1: a journalist, what was that like to cover? I was
Speaker 1: covering him from Afar, because you know the guys who
Speaker 1: were doing that every single day being there. It was
Speaker 1: different being a sports center. We weren't at least I
Speaker 1: don't remember how much coverage we gave to it. It
Speaker 1: was just so bizarre that he was there and then
Speaker 1: he was gone, like wait, he just quit, and then
Speaker 1: he was going to New England. McLevin, do you have
Speaker 1: any recollection? No, Just like you said, it was real quick.
Speaker 1: As I recalled, I was going to say that you
Speaker 1: did interview Parcels a lot. Yeah, well, I covered the
Speaker 1: Giants when I was at CNN. That was with Phil
Speaker 1: Simms and Joe Morris and Lt. Bill Parcels, that group.
Speaker 1: But no, I wasn't around, and I even I saw Belichick,
Speaker 1: but nobody thought Belichick was gonna be Belichick. It was
Speaker 1: just that's the defensive coordinator. Yeah, but you couldn't interview
Speaker 1: him right by, it didn't. Parcel's famously not allow its assistant.
Speaker 1: Did you ever like talk casually to Belichick back in
Speaker 1: the day, No, No, and I still happened after all
Speaker 1: these years. I don't think I've ever had a conversation
Speaker 1: with Belichick. Now, there was the one the night of
Speaker 1: the butt fumble, and I was on the sidelines with
Speaker 1: Tony Dunge and Rodney Harrison and it was halftime, or
Speaker 1: at least getting close to halftime, I think, and Belichick
Speaker 1: walked out, shook hands with Rodney, shook hands with Tony,
Speaker 1: and he just kept walking by me. And I went, okay, hey,
Speaker 1: coach Belichick just kept walking. Ross Stucker played for Bill Belichick.
Speaker 1: I don't did you ever talk to Bill Belichick while
Speaker 1: you played in New England? Ross, yeah, three times? Okay,
Speaker 1: how long were those three conversations? Actually know what four times?
Speaker 1: The first three were probably three to five words. I
Speaker 1: would say. The last time we actually had to sit
Speaker 1: down was when he traded me to Cleveland. That was
Speaker 1: the only time I actually had a conversation with him,
Speaker 1: and they signed me midway Dan through the old five season.
Speaker 1: He and I just went in the team meeting room
Speaker 1: and it was the first meeting and he walked up
Speaker 1: the steps to meet me, and I stand up to
Speaker 1: shake his hand. He says, you don't have to stand up,
Speaker 1: and that was it. And then about a week later
Speaker 1: in practice, I fell on the ground. And he had
Speaker 1: this really interesting way and ability to talk to you
Speaker 1: without anybody else knowing. He was talking to you as
Speaker 1: he was walking by you. So I fell in practice
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, like behind my right ear, I
Speaker 1: heard somebody say, stay off the freaking ground. And then
Speaker 1: and then when we played Jacksonville in the playoffs, Jacksonville
Speaker 1: starting center was actually my teammate at Princeton, and he said,
Speaker 1: like over my left shoulder walking away, we got half
Speaker 1: the Princeton offensive line in this game. Those are the
Speaker 1: only three things he said to me Dan until I
Speaker 1: got traded to Cleveland. I promise you did he know
Speaker 1: your name? Yeah, I mean he didn't ever use it,
Speaker 1: but I think he was generally aware of it. Yes,
Speaker 1: all right, full introduction. Ross will be on the call
Speaker 1: tonight the Eagles at the Jets, seven thirty eastern on
Speaker 1: the Eagles Television Network. A couple of things here that
Speaker 1: we'll get to. Who do you think has a better
Speaker 1: chance get back to the Super Bowl Chiefs of the Buccaneers.
Speaker 1: I'll say Bucks, and I'll say the Bucks for two reasons.
Speaker 1: Number One, I think the NFC is easier. You know,
Speaker 1: you look at the AFC. I think Buffalo's legit, Cleveland's legit,
Speaker 1: Baltimore has a shot, even maybe Pittsburgh has an outside shot.
Speaker 1: You look at the NFC, Dan, how many teams in
Speaker 1: the NFC do we really think can beat Tom Brady
Speaker 1: and this Buccaneers team in the playoffs? I think Green
Speaker 1: Bay Maybe, I guess one of the NFC West teams
Speaker 1: if Russell Wilson or Matthew Stafford goes crazy, but I
Speaker 1: don't see it happening. So the combination of the NFC
Speaker 1: being easier and the Chiefs essentially having three rookie offensive
Speaker 1: lineman starting at center, right garden, right tackle. I'll lean
Speaker 1: with the Bucks handicap the NFC East. For me, Washington
Speaker 1: ended up winning that division, But you're looking at a
Speaker 1: division that might be the worst division in football. I
Speaker 1: think it's pretty jumbled again, man, I really do. I
Speaker 1: think all four teams probably win between seven and ten games,
Speaker 1: maybe six and ten games. I happen to think and
Speaker 1: people will say I'm buy, but I think the Eagles
Speaker 1: are going to be better than outside opinions seem to
Speaker 1: think they have a top five offensive line and defensive
Speaker 1: line if those guys stay healthy. And Carson Wentz unfortunately
Speaker 1: led the NFL and interceptions and sacks last year and
Speaker 1: didn't play the last four games. I mean, think about
Speaker 1: basketball or baseball, the other sports stand you lead the
Speaker 1: league in two categories and you don't play twenty five
Speaker 1: percent of the season. If Hurtz just throws five less
Speaker 1: interceptions and takes five less sacks, there's a couple of
Speaker 1: wins right there. The team I don't have a great
Speaker 1: handle on is the Giants. I think Washington is the favorite.
Speaker 1: I know everybody says Dallas. To me, Dallas still has
Speaker 1: issues on defense and there's a lot of injury concerns
Speaker 1: there Dak and Amari Cooper, the offensive line. Still, I
Speaker 1: think Washington they won the division last year. The defense
Speaker 1: is beastly. I like some of their additions, and I
Speaker 1: think they're gonna get much better quarterback playing Ryan Fitzpatrick
Speaker 1: than they got from Alex Smith and Dwayne Haskins last year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the defense is going to be elite. It'll be right
Speaker 1: there with the Rams. Is the best defense in football.
Speaker 1: My concerns are the skill position players for Washington, and
Speaker 1: with Ryan Fitzpatrick, because he's a great story, but he
Speaker 1: giveth and he taketh away. I just they don't have
Speaker 1: a great tight end. They don't have a great number
Speaker 1: one wide receiver, they don't have a Vent Marquee running back.
Speaker 1: But you know, can you win with defense in the NFL?
Speaker 1: I guess that's what it comes down to. Because the
Speaker 1: Rams realized, hey, we can have a great defense, we
Speaker 1: still need to have offense. Let's go out and get
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford. Yeah. Well, so for the Washington skill guys,
Speaker 1: I think they're all probably a little bit better than
Speaker 1: you give him credit. For Terry McLaurin, Logan Thomas Antonio Gibson,
Speaker 1: and your point about Fitz is well taken. Dan every
Speaker 1: fourth gamer, so he has a bad game, right, But
Speaker 1: they don't need to go fourteen and three or thirteen
Speaker 1: and four. They probably only need to win ten or
Speaker 1: eleven games, so he can have a fitz stinker, you know,
Speaker 1: every fourth or fifth game, as long as the other
Speaker 1: three or four he plays well. So there's fitz magic
Speaker 1: and fitz Stinker. I just made that up, and I'm
Speaker 1: actually really good friends with him, and I'm probably gonna
Speaker 1: hear about this later. I don't know where that came from,
Speaker 1: and I apologize to everyone. Did you face him in college? No,
Speaker 1: he was. I think he was a freshman when I
Speaker 1: was a senior. And it's a shame that evidently he
Speaker 1: wasn't able to get accepted to Princeton and go to
Speaker 1: the embe school in the country. If I said you
Speaker 1: could never tell anybody you went to Princeton and never
Speaker 1: wear any kind of gear that said you went to Princeton,
Speaker 1: would you have gone to Princeton? Yes, yeah, for sure. Okay,
Speaker 1: you know why, Well, first of all, I don't need
Speaker 1: to say I went to Princeton because it seems like
Speaker 1: everybody already knows. The gear thing is an issue, though, Dan,
Speaker 1: because every time I go back, they give me a
Speaker 1: bunch of stuff, so I have, like all my drive
Speaker 1: fits stuff is Princeton. We're just hilarious because when I
Speaker 1: dropped my daughters off at their private school, everybody looks
Speaker 1: at me as like I think I'm great or something
Speaker 1: academic snob. They have no idea. Meanwhile, I'm meathead James Vanderbeek.
Speaker 1: They think I like think I'm some academian. By the way,
Speaker 1: they all care way more about academics than I do.
Speaker 1: Meathhead James Vanderbeek. Yeah, you see my shirt, then let's
Speaker 1: see no such thing as boneless wings. That's one of ours.
Speaker 1: That's that's an old school shirt, that's right. I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's still available on the website, but it's
Speaker 1: one of my favorite because you wear this anywhere, especially
Speaker 1: if you wear this around fancy people, it sets a
Speaker 1: tone right away about where the conversations are going to
Speaker 1: be for the rest of that day. He's Ross Chucker,
Speaker 1: former NFL offensive lineman, host of the Ross Tucker Football Podcast,
Speaker 1: Eagles preseason color analyst. Are you pro Cleveland Browns? Yes?
Speaker 1: Very much, so, very much so. Their roster is so
Speaker 1: good it's kind of unbelievable, isn't it that? What was
Speaker 1: it like two years ago or three years ago? They
Speaker 1: won one game and now I'm not sure there's a
Speaker 1: better roster in the NFL top to bottom. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's right there with Buffalo and Tampa and Kansas City. Really,
Speaker 1: the difference between the Browns and those other three teams
Speaker 1: is whether or not Baker Mayfield can play at that
Speaker 1: high of a level, you know, the way Josh Allen
Speaker 1: played last year. Mahomes of course, Brady of course. But
Speaker 1: other than that, I mean, they get Odell Beckham junior back,
Speaker 1: They've got two good tight ends, the best offensive line
Speaker 1: in football, two good running backs. Now they've got a
Speaker 1: really good defensive line that they invested in. I love
Speaker 1: the guys they got in the secondary, like John Johnson
Speaker 1: from the RAM. It's kind of weird to be on
Speaker 1: your show talking about the Browns having maybe the best
Speaker 1: roster in football, but it really it's a beautiful roster.
Speaker 1: They've done an awesome job. Do they have a great
Speaker 1: quarterback or a good quarterback? I think so far they
Speaker 1: have a good quarterback. I think Kevin Stefanski did an
Speaker 1: unbelievable job with them last year. And let's be honest, then,
Speaker 1: if you're playing behind the best o line in the league,
Speaker 1: and you have the best running back duo and you're
Speaker 1: averaging whatever it is over five yards to carry and
Speaker 1: most of what you're doing in the passing game is
Speaker 1: off of bootlegs and play action, it would be really
Speaker 1: weird if Baker Mayfield hadn't played pretty well last year, right, Like,
Speaker 1: you're not going to get a better situation than Baker
Speaker 1: Mayfield had last year and has this year, which, by
Speaker 1: the way, is what makes the contract situation for him
Speaker 1: kind of interesting, right Like do you pay him over
Speaker 1: forty million dollars when I would venture to guess there's
Speaker 1: at least twenty guys in the NFL that could perform
Speaker 1: as well as Baker did last year under the same circumstances. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's tricky. I don't want to pay him too soon, Like,
Speaker 1: you know, I might have to pay him a little
Speaker 1: bit more, but I want to see what this season's
Speaker 1: all about. Can you imagine your former coach Bill Belichick
Speaker 1: having a starting quarterback Mac Jones start the season open?
Speaker 1: I can, Yeah, you know the fact that he put
Speaker 1: Brady in that second year after Bledsoe got hurt and
Speaker 1: then never put Bledsoe back in. I think Belichick just
Speaker 1: goes with who he thinks the better guy is, and
Speaker 1: that was proof of it. You know, Brady didn't really
Speaker 1: play that great while Bledsoe was hurt. They just won
Speaker 1: a bunch of games and they thought, we think he's
Speaker 1: playing a little better than Drew. But it wasn't like
Speaker 1: he was Tom Brady back then. I think if Belichick
Speaker 1: believes mac Jones is one tenth of one percent better
Speaker 1: than Cam Newton, that he'll start mac Jones. I don't
Speaker 1: think that's going to happen. I think he'll start Cam
Speaker 1: Newton in the opener, But honestly, Dan, if Cam Newton
Speaker 1: has a bad first half in the opener, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: be surprised if mac Jones goes in there. It feels
Speaker 1: like the offense is built more for mac Jones because
Speaker 1: Bill and Josh McDaniels are accustomed to that style of quarterback.
Speaker 1: That guy who has the same characteristics here, Cam is
Speaker 1: just a rental. The question is how long are you
Speaker 1: renting him for? Because nobody else was interested in Cam
Speaker 1: Newton until Bill brought him in. You got running backs,
Speaker 1: you got a good offensive line, the defense will probably
Speaker 1: be formidable, skill position. You brought in some new tight ends.
Speaker 1: But I don't know if it's a great offense here.
Speaker 1: That's why I still keep leaning towards Cam. I think
Speaker 1: Cam gives them a dimension that they need this year,
Speaker 1: where maybe they won't need that next year because they
Speaker 1: will go out and get a couple of wide receivers
Speaker 1: to help out Mac Jones. What do you think of
Speaker 1: that philosophy? Totally agree? You know. I you know, the
Speaker 1: Patriots played the Eagles last week, so I was talking
Speaker 1: with some people for the Patriots. Then they're gonna run
Speaker 1: the crap out of the ball. I mean their rookie
Speaker 1: running back Romandre Stevenson from Oklahoma, he is a stud.
Speaker 1: Their offensive line is legit, and I think, quite frankly,
Speaker 1: now that they have Mac Jones as a number two
Speaker 1: and even Brian Hoyer as a three, I think they're
Speaker 1: gonna run Cam Newton a lot. Yeah. I think they
Speaker 1: think that's their way to win games is to run
Speaker 1: the heck out of the ball, and I think they'd
Speaker 1: rather do that and have that element with Cam. Early
Speaker 1: and see how that goes. Great to talk to you.
Speaker 1: As always, We'll talk to you during the season. Have
Speaker 1: fun tonight. Thank you, buddy, my pleasure day. I wanted
Speaker 1: to say congratulations on the Hall of Fame. To be honest,
Speaker 1: I kind of thought you were already in it. But congratulations.
Speaker 1: It's awesome. Thank you, Ross. So you're right, it wasn't
Speaker 1: oversight by the Hall of Fame. It took a little
Speaker 1: longer than it should, but thank you. I appreciate that.
Speaker 1: All right, take care. That's Ross Tucker, former NFL lineman,
Speaker 1: host of the Ross Tucker Football Podcast. He'll be on
Speaker 1: the call for the Eagles at the Jets seven thirty
Speaker 1: Eastern on the Eagles television network. Oh look who called in?

Speaker 1: accurate about Detroit sports teams. Yes, he was okay part

Speaker 1: you I will stay and I'm like, we'll I'm purgatory.

Speaker 1: of those shows. Then add to Cool Over with Jimmy

Speaker 1: You know the highlight of that game was Shohyotani hit
Speaker 1: his home run, I think his forty first home run.
Speaker 1: That was the only run the Angels had. Like nobody cares, Hey,
Speaker 1: the Oils had won back to back games. It was
Speaker 1: a hen. Here are the highlights Showhyotani with his forty
Speaker 1: first home run of the year. The Dodgers and the
Speaker 1: Padres played a combined thirty four innings. The Dodgers held
Speaker 1: the Padres to a total of five runs on ten
Speaker 1: hits in those three games. In that three game suite,
Speaker 1: hashtag what rivalry? You know? I was mentioning what are
Speaker 1: the great rivalries in baseball right now? And I was
Speaker 1: reminded of the fact the Dodgers and Astros that will
Speaker 1: stay a rivalry. The question is how how many times
Speaker 1: do they play? And are they going to meet you
Speaker 1: in the World Series again? But the Padres and Dodgers
Speaker 1: in the same division, the Giants and Dodgers has always
Speaker 1: been a great rivalry. The Red Sox and Yankees just
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like a rivalry. We love to focus on
Speaker 1: Yankees Red Sox, but you know Tampa is still leading
Speaker 1: the division. Like that, We go, yeah, and it's still Tampa.
Speaker 1: You can't sell Tampa, but Red Sox Yankees coming up
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Baseball mc love, and you got pull question
Speaker 1: a couple of NFL options for you. So, for the
Speaker 1: first time, probably all offseason, the Giants where the lead
Speaker 1: NFL story yesterday be Saquon Barkley came back to camp.
Speaker 1: Are the Giants the most boring team in the NFL?
Speaker 1: Here are my other options? And you don't have to
Speaker 1: answer this. Wow. Boring is a sense that there's just
Speaker 1: not They're not bad enough to gain attention, and they're
Speaker 1: not good enough to be a contender. The Giants are
Speaker 1: on there, The Panthers are probably on there. The Vikings,
Speaker 1: the Bengals, and the Raiders are the only ones that
Speaker 1: came up. Well, the Bengals are interesting, Yeah, Jamar Chase
Speaker 1: and Joe Burrow. You don't hear a lot about them
Speaker 1: this offseason though, good or bad. Well, if you do
Speaker 1: hear about them, then it's negative. Then you hear from
Speaker 1: the Bengal fans. Also, I feel like the Browns coverage
Speaker 1: has eaten up a little bit of that whole division's coverage. Oh. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: you haven't heard much about the Ravens. You've heard about
Speaker 1: the Steelers because of Ben and his new diet. The
Speaker 1: Cowboys dwarf everybody because you got Dak back and the
Speaker 1: you know, you got a great, great offense here, and
Speaker 1: your number one pick was Michael Parsons, linebacker round of
Speaker 1: Penn State. I don't think they're the favorites to win
Speaker 1: the NFC East, you know, I would think that the
Speaker 1: Washington football team would be. I'd put the Texans on
Speaker 1: there as a very very dry team. There is no
Speaker 1: reason to watch a Texans game unless Deshaun Watson plays.
Speaker 1: But there was a report yesterday he could be a
Speaker 1: healthy scratch the entire season. Lay won't play at all.
Speaker 1: But I would say the Texans might be up there.
Speaker 1: Is there somebody that you would tune in, just anybody
Speaker 1: on the Texans where you go, all right, I'll watch
Speaker 1: the game because up you don't know anybody. Hopkins gone,
Speaker 1: JJ wants gone, Deshaun Watson not playing, coach, you know
Speaker 1: nothing about like they're just pedestrian. They might be the
Speaker 1: that might be the boringest team in the NFL. Yeah, Paul,
Speaker 1: it's a good call about the Giants. Ode they're kind
Speaker 1: of in no man's lang where they don't stink, but
Speaker 1: they don't feel threatening. Their quarterbacks name is Daniel Jones,
Speaker 1: which screams excitement, but he could be good. And sa
Speaker 1: Qawon Barkley didn't play much last year. He's a star,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't feel like he's on the field. I
Speaker 1: just wonder about the Giants with Daniel Jones. This feels
Speaker 1: like you better kind of step up and be a
Speaker 1: little bit better. We're gonna move on here. And he
Speaker 1: gives you that impression sometimes like wow, he's kind of talent.
Speaker 1: But I think they could be good. I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't think they can be great, but I think they
Speaker 1: can be good. But I don't know what difference sa
Speaker 1: Quon Barkley is going to make for this team right now.
Speaker 1: Giants have some wide receivers, but Daniel Jones is going
Speaker 1: to be great. No, yeah, smin clubman. But right they
Speaker 1: signed Kenny Galladay. I think he's a pretty unknown to
Speaker 1: most NFL fans. I mean, I know they gave him
Speaker 1: pretty good money. Do you get excited about that? And
Speaker 1: the other off the Giants the Worst Division in Football poll,
Speaker 1: which we do pretty much every year. I tally the
Speaker 1: win totals and the NFC East according to Vegas does
Speaker 1: not have the least wins. There's another division with even
Speaker 1: less projected for this year's projected I looked up the
Speaker 1: latest Vegas odds on CBS sports dot Com and I
Speaker 1: added up the win totals for all four teams. There's
Speaker 1: another the division that I found this is lower than
Speaker 1: the NFC East, and I'll give you a hin. It's
Speaker 1: dragged down by the bottom AFC sun. Yeah. So the
Speaker 1: Jags and the Texans, they drag them away down. They're
Speaker 1: the least wins and projected in the league. How many
Speaker 1: wins do they have? The Texans penciled in for five?
Speaker 1: I don't know where those five. Well, they do have
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor, who always finds a way to win. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you don't want to win if you're the Texans.
Speaker 1: Great point, how many wins do they have for the Jags? Six?
Speaker 1: I remember there's an extra game, so I think that
Speaker 1: everybody's win total has pushed the Texans or the least.
Speaker 1: There's not five extra game. Well, the Texans are still
Speaker 1: last in the league on this list, So but the
Speaker 1: are the Texans. Who's who's gonna have more wins? The
Speaker 1: Lions or the Texans according to Vegas. By the way,
Speaker 1: Jared Golf will join us later in the show. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I have the Texans as the only five win team
Speaker 1: on this list. The Lions aren't penciled in at five.
Speaker 1: I got him at six on this list. Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: other odds out there. Okay, but the NFC East is
Speaker 1: just kind of mediocre. It's all the Cowboys at nine
Speaker 1: point five. The Washington have Dallas at nine and a
Speaker 1: half wins, public money, people love to bet on them Boys. Okay,
Speaker 1: the Washington football team at eight, the Giants as seven,
Speaker 1: and the Eagles somehow at seven. That's surprising. Ross has
Speaker 1: gotta be a little excited. M Well, how can you
Speaker 1: have this great offensive line? But Carson Wentz was on
Speaker 1: a record setting pace for getting sacked. But like now
Speaker 1: the line is healthy. And then Jalen Hurts is gonna
Speaker 1: somehow be magical here. I like him as a bridge quarterback.
Speaker 1: I don't view Jalen Hurts as a starting quarterback, but
Speaker 1: when he came in, he gave him a lift. I
Speaker 1: just don't know how consistent he can be. And if
Speaker 1: you're just joining us, the Saints named Jameis Winston as
Speaker 1: their starting quarterback. It's not breaking news, it's just news.
Speaker 1: Paulie's trying to make it breaking news. Yes, mcle what
Speaker 1: do you think of that division? That feels like the
Speaker 1: Bucks and the rest? Well, Ross Trucker was talking about
Speaker 1: and when you think about the NFC, the Bucks have
Speaker 1: an easier chance to repeat or at least get back
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl. But you know, keep in mind
Speaker 1: New Orleans won the division last year. Tampa just got
Speaker 1: it together when they needed to get it together. There
Speaker 1: were lapses where you go and I think they were
Speaker 1: seven and five at one point you go, I don't know,
Speaker 1: and then it just felt like everybody everything fell in
Speaker 1: place and that defense was awesome. But what do they have?
Speaker 1: The packers at over under is at ten? I seeing
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers at eleven on this list? Wow,
Speaker 1: got a tough schedule man, All right? One are in
Speaker 1: the books? Two more to go? Get your phone calls
