WEBVTT - 10/12/21 DPS Hour 3 Justin Herbert 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.480 You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:08.480 Sports Radio. Welcome back to the program Final Hour, Dan 0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:11.640 and The Danette dan Patrick Show had some technical difficulties 0:00:12.119 --> 0:00:14.560 prior to the end of last Hour, but everything is good. 0:00:14.600 --> 0:00:19.040 The big German fixed it. Yay. He might have broken it, 0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:22.520 but he fixed it. Though. We'll get phone calls coming up. 0:00:22.960 --> 0:00:26.000 Justin Herbert of my chargers will join us coming up 0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:29.040 a little bit. What happened was I couldn't hear myself 0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:32.280 in my headphones microphone worked, and I couldn't hear the 0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:36.160 Danettes either, and I was playing Jerry West sound where 0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:38.560 Jerry was talking about the teams that passed on Luca 0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:40.640 don Chick, and then all of a sudden, I couldn't 0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:44.360 hear Jerry and wasn't sure when it ended, and all 0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:46.159 of a sudden just started talking. And then we had 0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:48.479 to open the door to the man cave to the 0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:51.080 other side, so the Danets would then just yell to 0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:54.000 me because I couldn't hear them even if their microphone 0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:56.360 was on. Yes, PAULI, when the Jerry West clip was playing, 0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:59.880 you started talking over it like Fritzie when we had 0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:03.160 on Mark Valbert Valbert. Yeah, and We're like, I look 0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:04.920 at seem like, goes Dan losing it? What's he doing here? 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:08.039 He's talking over the clip? Yeah, well people thought I 0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:10.600 lost it before. Yes, it was almost the way it 0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:13.160 sounded like you were arguing with Jerry West because you 0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:15.560 were like, he's he's talking about this. Then you're like, well, 0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:20.119 not exactly. I mean, whoa Dan, what you're here, Jerry? 0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:22.920 What are you doing? Yeah? Well, when I couldn't hear myself, 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:25.800 I thought that you couldn't hear Jerry West. So, in 0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:28.440 fairness to Jerry West, this is what Jerry had to 0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:31.920 say to tarall Owens on his podcast about Luca don 0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:35.840 check Luka done? What was he the fifth player in 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:38.120 the draft? Right? Oh my god? And look at him. 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:42.040 I can't believe that someone let him go. I can't. 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:45.759 He was a unique kid. At fifteen years of age. 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:50.200 He was competing against men in Europe. He's fifteen years 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:55.520 but not competing excelling. That's Jerry West. His entire answer 0:01:55.560 --> 0:02:04.880 to tarall Owens in his podcast Todd, So I had 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:09.519 my mighty I hope it gets off that. That's when Todd, 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:11.920 for some reason, I didn't know his microphone was on 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:14.760 the first day. I'm trying to figure out how to pasting. 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:19.720 I like howm talking. Yeah, good line, it's like that. 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:22.040 I double down and I continued to talk again in 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:24.200 the middle of it. Play it again. Here's Todd with 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:33.320 the Hall of Famer mar Albert Todd. So I have 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:36.000 my mighty. I'll be watching it. I hope it gets off. 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:40.760 I like how Marv Albert doesn't even stop. What a professional. 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:42.440 Oh yeah, I don't know what's going on in the 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:46.239 back of there, but I'll continue my Yeah. I like 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:51.320 the middle where tigers. I don't know what he said there. Well, 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:54.880 there's always the Bill Hayder interview where Todd leaves his 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:58.079 microphone on when he's laughing at Bill Hayter. When Bill 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:02.600 Hayter is doing is a day line? And uh, do 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:05.680 you have that Seaton on short notice? We come back, 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:11.520 we're gonna talk about the DNA. Oh that cask DNA 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:17.280 so bad. I love that lot, and I loved the impersonation. 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:20.519 But that tackle has no place, no, no, in any airwave. No, 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:22.480 we know you loved it. It was just you had 0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:24.639 your microphone on during that. I don't know why I 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:27.480 knew to share my laugh with every guy. The guy. 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:33.280 He shot me, shot you dirty look. No no, no, 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:35.680 he shot me with the guys. It's like Ed McMahon, 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:45.960 so bad at so many levels. It's a bad laugh. Yeah, 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:52.600 bad interrupted laugh. That's the best final hour here The 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:56.320 Dan Patrick Show, Monday Night Football. It was Lar Jackson 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:59.640 in a not a career defining moment, but certainly one 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:01.760 you had to your resume tape when you look back 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:04.600 on his career, and we will focus on that fourth 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:07.880 quarter what he did against the Colts. You know, I 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:10.880 had baseball last night. The Red Sox close out the Rays, 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:14.240 the Giants up two games to one. On the Dodgers. 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:17.920 Max Scherzer gave you a performance that you would expect 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:21.320 out of a Hall of famer. He did everything. He 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:26.520 had ten strikeouts, three hits, went seven innings, no run support, 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:29.920 gave up a home run to Evan Longoria. And now 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:32.760 your season is on the brink. Braves up to one 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:36.640 of the Brewers. Three baseball playoff games today and tonight, 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:40.080 eight seven seven, three d P Show email ADDRESSDP at 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:43.719 dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle at DPS show. Through 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:46.320 five weeks, you'd think that you could start making reasonable 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:49.839 predictions about the NFL, But one of the reasons that 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:52.640 it's hard to make picks is really it comes down 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:55.200 to health, because you're trying to figure out these quarterbacks, 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:58.520 can they stay healthy one extra game? They're running more 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:03.240 than ever MVP hopeful Josh Allen carried eleven times for 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:05.800 the Bills and the win against the Chiefs. Trey Lance 0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:08.040 ran the ball in the loss to the Cardinals. Now 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:10.920 he's dealing with a sprain knee. Joe Burrow had to 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:12.960 go to the hospital after getting hit in the throat. 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:16.800 Daniel Jones stumbling on camera after he suffered a concussion. 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:21.160 Quarterbacks are as athletic as ever, so were the defenders. 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:25.039 There's a risk with your team one play away from 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:28.880 having the season changed in an instant. But Lamar Jackson 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:31.880 was wonderful last night. Here's his head coach, John Harbaugh. 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:34.359 It's one of the greatest performances I've ever seen. It 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:36.320 wasn't easy. It wasn't like we came out just you know, 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:38.440 up and down the field. We had to overcome and 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:41.520 fight through some things. He was under pressure. He created 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:43.680 plays with his feet through the ball away when he 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:45.240 had to throw it away. And then once we started 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:46.720 going and you know when we're in that situation you're 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:49.320 talking about Jamison. We went into our fast mode, no huddle, 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:52.200 two minute type mode. He just came alive. And all 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:53.920 of our guys did, I mean all the guys who 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:56.000 made plays, you know, and the offensive line. But it 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:59.520 starts with Lamar and he deserves the credit. Lamar Jackson 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:01.840 ranks in the top eight in both passing yards and 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:06.320 rushing yards this season. Fifth in passing yards, He's eighth 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:09.839 in rushing right now. In the NFL poll question for 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:12.520 the Final Hour, make okay, I updated it based on 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:15.799 your first take, which was a bigger whiff. Letting Luca 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:19.080 don Check fall to number three in the twenty eighteen draft, 0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:23.280 behind Marvin Bagley and DeAndre Aden, or letting Justin Herbert 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:26.480 fall to number six in the twenty twenty draft behind 0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:31.559 Joe Barrow, Chase Young, Jeffakuda, Andrew Thomas, and Tuah Well. 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:34.600 I would say Luca because Lucas I know, is going 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:36.360 to be a Hall of Famer. I don't know about that, 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:40.040 you know. With Justin Herbert, although when Jimmy Johnson said 0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:42.600 on Fox's pregame show he would take Justin Herbert over 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:45.560 Patrick Mahomes, I was like, Okay, got my attention. With that, 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:50.880 it just feels like, you know, normally the game doesn't 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:53.520 come to as easily as it appears to with Justin Herbert, 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:56.720 but the game comes easily to Luca don Check as well, 0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:59.080 and he's been able to do that at a pretty 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:02.440 high level. So I say it's Luca, but let me 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:05.560 let me let Justin Herbert have a couple of years 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:08.440 under his belt. Plus, it's easier for Luca to have 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:10.920 an impact on a game than it is with Justin 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:13.160 Herbert because Luca has the ball in his hands all 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:16.480 the time, he's on the floor at all times, whereas 0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:19.080 Justin is only going to be as good as his 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:22.000 wide receivers or his offensive line or you know, the 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:26.520 defense stopping the opposition. Yeah, McLevin, what if Herbert wins 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:29.360 the Super Bowl before Luca gets to the finals eventually, 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:32.280 are we going to pressure Luca to win a title? Well? 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:34.000 I don't know if we pressure him, but I think 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:36.280 you're going to have that expectation. That's why I said, 0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:38.520 you know, when people go he's going to be the MVP, 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:40.160 and I said his team is not good enough for 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:43.120 him to be the MVP. You can be a great player, 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:45.360 but we expect your team to be great as well. 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:48.840 And I think if Kristaps Porzingis is able to take 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:51.800 his game to the next level, then maybe Dallas is 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:55.280 one of those title contending teams. Until then, Lucas just 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:57.560 going to be a triple double and you will have 0:07:57.600 --> 0:07:59.800 those fascinating moments, but they're not going to be a 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:03.000 team in the bigger picture. Yeah, Poe, going back to 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:04.920 Justin Herbert, when when you're playing as well as he 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:07.720 is for the Chargers, you forget about the criticisms. And 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:10.640 I'm looking back at the pre draft profiles. There are 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:12.840 a lot of people who were not on his bandwagon. 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:16.520 They said he cooled off as a player. He peaked 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:18.920 at Oregon, he stayed maybe one year too long, and 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:21.880 they saw some of his flaws. They said his ball placement, 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:25.720 was he miss his easy roots, bad footwork, runs too much. 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:28.360 There's a lot a lot of criticism, more criticism there 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:30.320 were some of the other guys. Well, I go back 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:34.480 to Lamar Jackson. I remember scouts saying, one scout in particular, 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:37.560 who's his source? He said, you know, he's inconsistent, but 0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:40.559 he's dynamic, and he's not afraid of a big moment, 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:43.160 like this is terminology that they use in their little 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:45.040 inner circle. But he said, you know, these are things 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:47.320 that we're looking for. Do you shy away? Do you 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:50.480 want the ball? You try to make something happen. And 0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:53.440 you know, watching Justin Herbert in the Rose Bowl and 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:56.760 you're seeing that athleticism, and it was a question of 0:08:57.480 --> 0:08:59.720 can he be consistent? But that's the that's the case 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:03.040 with all of these quarterbacks. I mean, Josh Allen if 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:06.760 you look back, he wasn't necessarily a great high school quarterback, 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:10.520 highly recruited college, junior college. He goes to Wyoming, of 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:14.760 all places, not a football factory for quarterbacks, and then 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:18.640 he goes to Buffalo and you know, I was told 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:20.719 that Cleveland was going to draft him, and then they 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:23.199 used that as sort of a smoke screen that they 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:26.240 then were going to decide on Baker Mayfield. And if 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:29.400 you gave Cleveland that opportunity, now they'd be like, oh, 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:31.480 what were we thinking we should have taken Josh Allen. 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:34.760 Baker had proven it, he had played at a big 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:38.480 time program, won the Heisman, and we weren't sure about 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:41.000 Josh Allen in those first couple of years. I wasn't 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:43.960 sure about Josh Allen. But once you figure it out, 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:47.520 do you understand it? And it's really like everything is 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:50.200 about the speed of the game. How quickly do you 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:53.280 get the play in? Do you call it, do you 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:57.680 look and you maybe audible? And then how quickly you 0:09:57.679 --> 0:09:59.559 can get the ball out? Like there's so many things 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:02.240 that go into it in just one play. That's why 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:04.920 when I was watching Trey Lance, he might be a 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:07.400 wonderful talent, he's just not ready to play in the NFL. 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:11.640 He got a long delivery and you know, when all 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:14.040 else fails, you want to run. Like those are things 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:16.200 that make me nervous when it comes to Trey Lance. 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:20.960 Unbelievable talent, But you don't win on just talent because 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:24.200 the guy who has the least athleticism at that position 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:27.680 is still one of the leading candidates. From VP and 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:31.920 Tom Brady. You make decisions, and you make them in 0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:36.280 real time, and it happens so quickly, and you know, 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:39.880 that's really what I find. That's the difference between good 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:44.040 and great, great and Hall of Famer, right, not running 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:48.400 is a decision. Steve Young didn't become a Hall of 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:51.480 Famer until he stopped running because he probably could have 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:53.720 been a running back in the NFL. It was that talented. 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:57.880 But you have to you have to be able to 0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:00.560 process do it in real time, and then if you 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:02.960 have to run a lot of times, it's like, uh 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:05.800 not there run and that's where you get in trouble. 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:10.720 Here's news that was just sent to me. The nets 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:13.920 GM Sean Marks announced that Kyrie will not play or 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:16.960 practice with the team until he is quote eligible to 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:25.080 be a full participant. In other words, he hasn't been vaccinated. Yeah, Paul, 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:26.880 I wonder if Kyrie is sitting out there right now 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:31.400 going mission accomplished. Yea beautiful. I'll take November off. Yeah, 0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:36.560 but I don't understand it. I'm hoping that he's not 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:39.480 paid through all of this. Who knows with the you know, 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:42.400 the players union, like, you know, he should get paid. 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:44.679 I have no idea what their fight would be. But man, 0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:48.280 if I'm Kyrie, I'm angry, you know, I mean, Katie, 0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:51.320 I'm angry, Like dude, I came here, I want to 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:54.360 win a championship. You don't want to be here, then leave. 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:57.080 But I want to be one of the greats of 0:11:57.080 --> 0:12:01.680 all time. I'd be I'd be angry. And James Harden 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:03.680 I think this is his last year there with the Nets. 0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:05.800 I really feel that way that if they won, then 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:08.560 James Harden would probably go someplace and say, you know what, 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:11.079 let me be the star. Let me put up thirty 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:13.160 thirty five a game. Yeah, I prove and I won 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:18.400 my championship. Here man oh man Jason in Texas. Hey, Jason, 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:22.640 what's on your mind today? Hey? Dan? Six four two 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:28.360 o five. Hey, so help me out here. I'm confused. 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:31.559 I thought that DeAndre Ayton had made it to the 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:34.560 finals and Luca has not. So is that's still not 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:38.240 a good pick? Would you take DeAndre Ayton and give 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:43.199 me Luca don Chick? That's tough. I'm a diehard Arizona fan, 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:44.959 so I want to see theirs on a fan sixteed you. 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:47.560 I guess you're right. But at this point, I mean, 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:50.760 DeAndre has proven he can get to the finals. Luca 0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:53.040 has not. Well, he's proven that he could get to 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:58.000 the finals with Booker and Chris Paul, and he's a 0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:01.840 good player, but he's you know, it's not where if 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:05.000 you said, hey, DeAndre, you go to the MAVs and 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:09.200 I'm gonna put Luca on your Phoenix suns. Who do 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:13.960 you think's gett into the finals? Exactly? Kennedy and Louisville. 0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:20.920 Hey Kennedy, good sir, what's on your mind? Well? First, 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:24.400 that DeAndre eight and take was just horrendous. But anyways, 0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:27.560 I had a thought on your side. Right next to 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:30.600 your desk. I see the silver medal from Tokyo, which 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:33.079 is pretty awesome. Was curious if that's on purpose, because 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:34.679 you guys have number one of sports in me. I 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:36.760 didn't know if like, once you win you'll getting old. 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:39.800 I don't know how that works. Was just curious. Well played, Kennedy, 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:44.400 well played. Yeah, I got a silver medal here, no gold, 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:48.599 just silver. But that's okay. It's just nice to get nominated. 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:54.600 Do you guys want to get nominated but lose or 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:58.400 not get nominated at all this year? Because I think 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:01.520 what we did this year, we're we have to get nominated. 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:04.880 We we had that good a show. But if I 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:08.160 said we're gonna get nominated for the fifth consecutive year 0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:10.920 and lose the Sports Emmy, do you guys want to 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:13.800 go through that again? Seaton? Definitely, you want to be 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:17.959 nominated then not nominated? Yeah, heck yet. Okay, but we lose, well, yeah, 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:21.359 if we're not nominated, we lose two. Okay, Fritzie, absolutely 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:23.360 keep the year streak going and eventually we'll get one 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:27.680 of the Okay, Paul. It's weird because it's they're both 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:32.560 bad choices. Well, which one's worse? Well, you feel like 0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:34.840 you fell off if you don't get nominated. Yeah, if 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:37.240 you get nominated, lose, Okay, Stevens last year. Yeah, I 0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:40.600 I need to get nominated, that's all because then it 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:42.920 feels like like we're going against the big big boys, 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:46.240 you know, ESPN, you know Fox, all these shows, and 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:49.200 we're just a little group of twelve guys and where 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:51.480 I can't even get my headset to work. Let's see 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:54.200 them do it without a headset. Yeah, let me see that. Yeah, 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:57.680 pardon the interruption. Yeah. See, So then would you rather 0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:00.720 know we're getting nominated and lose or roll the dice? 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:07.960 I guess I guess I'd roll the dice just the 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:11.360 possibility of maybe we sneak in there and win. Yeah. Yeah, 0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:14.440 because once we win, then I'm retiring. That's it. Do 0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:16.800 you and me? Both? Brother? So it's a walk off? 0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:20.240 I mean, yeah, that's it. We win, I grab it, 0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:22.320 I walk. It's a walk off. It's holding out for 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:24.840 that damn trophy. Yeah, we'll all break our headphones yet 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:27.440 out here. Let's take a break justin.

Today, he's 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:46.640 the quarterback of my Los Angeles Chargers. He's Justin Herbert 0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:50.760 back on the program, coming off. Well, what's been a 0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:53.840 pretty good start for the Chargers so far. They got 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:56.720 the Ravens coming up, which leads me to the obvious question, 0:16:56.800 --> 0:17:00.680 how much did you watch of the Ravens last night? Justin? Yeah, 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:02.800 I watch the entire game. But first off, thanks for 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:05.760 having me back again. It's always a pleasure. Okay, what 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:08.440 do you take do you watch the offense, you watch 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:11.639 the defense there and you take notes. You watch the 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:14.240 entire game. It's kind of different than the film you 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:16.879 watch just because of the camera angles. But whatever, you 0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:19.120 can watch, whatever you can pick up during the game. 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:22.119 I think it's a bonus. But to be able to 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:25.040 go back and watch it later the following day, I 0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:28.840 think helps even more. You're listed as a dual threat quarterback, 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:33.520 So is Lamar Jackson? Do you feel like you're a 0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:36.119 dual threat when you see Lamar Jackson out there on 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:38.760 the field, I do not have the same skill set. 0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:44.479 You're a good runner, Lamar just seems like it might 0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:49.480 be just a little better runner than you. Lamar's quicker, faster, stronger. 0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:52.639 You can do it all, but do you try not 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:58.119 to run? I think running is an important job of 0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:01.960 the quarterback position, and obviously not taking hits too, because 0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:05.800 I think your ability is your availability, and as long 0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:07.840 as we're doing our job and you can extend plays 0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:10.560 and convert third and fourth downs, I think using the 0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:12.960 quarterbacks legs, I think that's a huge part of our offense. 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:15.400 But I wonder though, when you go through your progressions. 0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:17.680 Probably when you're in college, you may not have gone 0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:20.160 through everything. You just take off and run and rely 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:23.320 on your athleticism. But in the NFL you might be fast, 0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:24.960 but those guys are on the other side of the 0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:28.119 ball are pretty fast too, So like you have to 0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:30.879 have a clock in your head or a reminder of 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:35.480 go through your progressions and then take off. Yeah, that's 0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:38.320 one of those things that our coach our quarterback coach 0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:40.800 last year, Pet Hamilton, I we talked about the entire time, 0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:43.240 and as soon as I got here, he said, everyone 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:45.840 on defense is it faster than you. And as soon 0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:48.919 as you realize that getting the ball out quickly and 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:51.720 going through your reads is the most important job. Sometimes 0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:53.919 the pocket does break down where there's a lane that 0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:56.320 splits and you can find it. But other than that, 0:18:56.359 --> 0:18:58.000 it's all about getting the ball out quick and finding 0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:02.360 your completions. But when you you learned to slide playing baseball, 0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:05.680 I'm gonna guess yeah, correct, Okay, But because there are 0:19:05.720 --> 0:19:08.280 a few quarterbacks that have never learned to slide, you 0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:11.200 and Kyler Murray and Russell Wilson seemed to be pretty 0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:14.399 good because you played baseball. Some of these other guys 0:19:14.600 --> 0:19:17.840 they have no idea how to slide. It's not an 0:19:17.840 --> 0:19:20.719 easy thing to do. I think just having grown up 0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:23.840 playing baseball ever since I was in kindergarten, I feel 0:19:23.840 --> 0:19:26.160 like that's just a natural thing. And you know, Kyler 0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:28.439 and Russell, I'm sure they played baseball growing up, and 0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:30.399 it's one of those things that I think you just 0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:32.960 learned to do and definitely something you have to spend 0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:35.199 time on if you haven't played baseball. What is it 0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:37.439 about the month of October. I don't know if you 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:40.000 know these numbers. Since last season in games played in 0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:44.440 the month of October, seventeen touchdowns one interception tied for 0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:48.600 the most touchdowns fewous interceptions among starting quarterbacks in that month. 0:19:48.960 --> 0:19:54.440 You're tied with Tom Brady. That's a pretty good guy. 0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:59.159 That's being a conversation. But you know, I kept saying, 0:19:59.280 --> 0:20:01.520 don't get your hair are cut because your stats are 0:20:01.520 --> 0:20:04.200 going to drop off. And that was last year. I mean, 0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:07.200 you paid the price. I hope you learned your lesson. 0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:10.199 I did, all right. I know we've talked about that 0:20:10.240 --> 0:20:12.639 plenty of times, and I won't make the same mistake. 0:20:12.840 --> 0:20:14.760 Take me back to when you're in grade school and 0:20:14.760 --> 0:20:17.040 you said you're going to be a professional quarterback and 0:20:17.119 --> 0:20:19.520 you're going to live in Los Angeles. First of all, 0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:22.320 is that true? And if so, how did you come 0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:25.760 to that conclusion so young in your life? It is true. 0:20:25.800 --> 0:20:27.680 I think the more impressive thing is for my mom 0:20:27.760 --> 0:20:31.879 to have kept that piece of paper from elementary school. 0:20:31.880 --> 0:20:33.480 And she probably could have looked at it and said, 0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:37.040 you know this, we're not going to keep this, but 0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:39.639 she ended up keeping it and we looked back at it, 0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:41.880 and you know, I think it's just one of those 0:20:41.920 --> 0:20:43.320 awesome things where if you put your mind to it, 0:20:43.359 --> 0:20:45.120 you can do anything. And I kind of worked out 0:20:45.119 --> 0:20:46.960 pretty pretty well. Just so you know, you're not a 0:20:47.040 --> 0:20:49.879 parent yet, but when you are, you know your wife 0:20:49.880 --> 0:20:53.040 will keep everything. Just so you know, all those little 0:20:53.080 --> 0:20:56.040 I got Valentine's Day cards from my I kept everything, 0:20:56.640 --> 0:20:59.080 so that kind of thing. If my son wrote down 0:20:59.160 --> 0:21:01.000 he wanted to be the quarter back for the packers, 0:21:01.400 --> 0:21:03.040 I would have kept it, and then I would have 0:21:03.280 --> 0:21:05.639 embarrassed him the whole time when I realized when he 0:21:05.680 --> 0:21:08.080 realized that he was not an athlete. So, yes, mom 0:21:08.480 --> 0:21:13.960 does keep all of those things, so and thankfully she did. Yeah, 0:21:13.200 --> 0:21:15.919 that's uh, that's good to know though, because that was 0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:18.280 definitely a long time ago. So what do you do 0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:22.439 on a day off? Watch film? The quarterbacks have come 0:21:22.480 --> 0:21:24.440 in and lift and then right after that we'll watch 0:21:24.480 --> 0:21:26.199 film for a couple of hours. Yeah, but that's not 0:21:26.280 --> 0:21:31.639
