That will be Sunday at ten 0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:08.240 in the morning. Great time slot. Yeah got that, and 0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:10.680 then you got pregame shows, and then you got football 0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:14.840 all afternoon long. But France the defending champs, the first 0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:18.920 defending champs to return to the finals since Brazil back 0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:22.959 in two thousand and two. I picked France to start, 0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:26.840 but then four years ago I picked France to start, 0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:31.160 and hello, I may not know anything about soccer, but 0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:35.520 I know something about soccer. Bop. Hey, you speak a 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:40.080 little French, right we folks shanlee ruh. Every time you 0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:41.800 say that sounds German to me. I don't know why. 0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:46.199 Le bouche. Oh yeah, I love that guy that means 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:49.040 shut your mouth. Yes, it does, at least I hope 0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:52.520 it does. Because when I took French in high school, 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:58.640 we had two students who were from French Canada. They 0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:01.520 were from Quebec and they came down. They took French 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:04.560 in high school, and of course they got a's, but 0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:07.000 we wanted to know what are some of the words 0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:10.040 that you can use or expressions you could use outside 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:11.880 of the classroom, And then they told us a couple 0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:14.519 of those. It's cool. Yeah, they came in handy. But 0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:20.200 my French name in class was Pierre de Bonaire. Is 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:24.440 that self? And yes, so I picked my name, and 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:30.400 I picked Pierre de Bonnair. Yes, it's not that Patagolia. Well, 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:35.640 missus good. Madame Bunn was my teacher and everybody got 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:38.280 to pick their name, and mine was Pierre de Bonaire. Yes. Point, 0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:40.960 I once dated a French Canadian girl at Southerner University. 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:44.200 Went back to visitor in Quebec, Montreal. Yeah, and we 0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:45.760 all went out to a movie one night. They took 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:47.840 us to a movie theater. It was in French, so 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:51.639 we saw aliens with Sigourney. We were in French. They're 0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:54.680 less threatening the bad guys in the all the words 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:57.679 they're in French. Sigourney Weaver. An alien looked good in 0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:01.919 any language. Yes, absolutely, all right, Peter King will join us. 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:05.320 Coming up. Are we going to have another play that's 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:08.639 reviewable and that's Roughing the Passer. The owners met outside 0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:12.080 of Dallas yesterday. Peter will give us an update on that. 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:15.320 Tony Dungee from Football Night in America will stop by 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:19.640 as well tonight. The Niners and the Seahawks. Not sure 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:22.000 if Brock Purdy is going to be able to play. 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:24.200 But if I would have told you, let's say, two 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:27.360 months ago, hey, you may not want to watch the 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:29.920 Thursday night game because Brock Purdy may not be the 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:33.600 starting quarterback for the forty nine ers. Well that's where 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:36.240 we are because I don't know if Josh Johnson is 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:38.880 going to start. But Brock Purdy has a rib injury 0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:43.040 and Gino Smith, Gino's got to make sure he continues 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:46.080 to play at a pretty high level. Here, I still 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:48.600 feel like Seattle is going to draft a quarterback. If 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:51.440 you're gonna have a top five pick, you don't get 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:54.400 up there very often. You could still keep Gino Smith, 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:57.040 give him a two year deal, give him twenty million 0:03:57.040 --> 0:04:00.200 dollars a year, and then all of a sudden an 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:02.920 opportunity to get a quarterback that's going to be your future. 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:05.920 And you got a top five pick. You got Denver's 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:11.680 pick right now that would be the number two overall pick. Ouch, 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:16.839 sorry about that, Todd, Let's ride. Let's right when we 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:19.400 talk about paying running backs. And I saw this. Todd 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:23.720 McShay of the Mothership had his mock draft and he 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:26.200 was looking at what certain teams are going to do 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:29.800 and the upcoming draft, and he had the Eagles, who 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:34.040 have right now the fifth overall pick, taking Jean Robinson 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:38.120 out of Texas. Well, he's a great back, but do 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:41.120 I want to take a running back that high? And 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:44.840 I don't you look at Christian McCaffrey. That's a twelve 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:49.120 million dollar cap hit, but he's got six total touchdowns, 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:52.000 average over one hundred and ten yards total offense per 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:56.400 game since he's gone to San Francisco and San Francisco 0:04:56.520 --> 0:05:00.960 six and one with Christian McCaffrey. Yeah, Price, I love it. 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:03.440 I just don't want my running back to be getting 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:06.839 eighteen twenty million dollars a year. And the Giants have 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:11.200 this conundrum. Sae Quon Barclay's played, Well, do you want 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:14.560 to pay him this next contract? Well, he's missed a 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:17.440 lot of time due to injury, so it's different. Derrick 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:20.680 Henry has played and taken a lot of hits, but 0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:23.480 they did extend him. Alvin Kamara is more of a 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:26.640 hybrid back like Christian McCaffrey. If you can give me 0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:30.159 that and I can offset that with somebody else, who's 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:33.600 going to be your primary running back Like the Cowboys, 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:37.440 if you could have Afford Zeke and Tony Pollard, Pollards 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:39.960 your hybrid. Zeke is going to be your power guy 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:42.960 if you can afford to spend. But you're spending fifteen 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:46.240 million dollars on Zeke, which I never would, but it 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:50.440 may work out for them. With McCaffrey, he's different. There's 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:53.200 a few of those running backs there. But what I 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:56.120 take Bijean Robinson, as great as he is or was 0:05:56.160 --> 0:06:00.360 at Texas top five pick, I wouldn't. Yeah, pol almost 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:02.680 like a flawed position financially, because you take someone in 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:05.440 the top ten and they work out, let's say Sequon 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:07.320 Barkley works out or Derek kind of works out. You 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:09.480 got to pay them big money twice the top ten 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:11.880 draft pick money, and then they're a new contract money, 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.000 which is you know, let's say it's four years, fifty 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:15.800 million dollars. That's a big chunk for a running back 0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:17.520 when you can get Look who's a kid for I 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:20.080 can't say Isaiah Pacheco. Yeah, I bet she costs like 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:23.600 six hundred thousand a year. Yeah, and he's doing fine. Yeah. 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:28.240 You can find those running backs. You can find wide receivers, 0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:32.279 hard to find quarterbacks. Although you got Geno Smith versus 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:38.000 Brock Purty tonight, all right, play of the day, staut 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:40.480 of the day poll question, who's doing the honors today? 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:44.680 Fritzie I got it? Okay, which would you rather a 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:47.600 Polly special brock Purty starts tonight for the Niners or 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:53.480 a big snow for the Dolphins Bills game Saturday night? Okay? 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:56.600 Can I have both? You cannot one that you'd want 0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:59.320 a little more than the other. The choice involve Well, 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:01.400 I think the Dolphins and Bills will be a great 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:03.400 game no matter what the weather is. Like, I'm gonna 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:07.280 be disappointed if we don't have snow, because now it 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:11.240 feels like that's been the storyline here is Mike McDaniel, 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:15.720 the Dolphins head coach, on the impending weather. To me, 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:19.120 you just decide if you're gonna let it factor in 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:23.320 or not, and then you adjust as best you can. Um, 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:27.560 we will be playing the game in the same elements 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:32.200 and as a competitor, man for man for our football team. 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:36.040 That that's the objective, is that you're uh, you know, 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:39.440 are you gonna let the elements matter more to you 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:43.440 than them? H It is the same field, the same elements, 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:48.440 so U you just decide mentally, m how much you're 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:52.000 gonna let it affect you. Okay, Well, hold on. If 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:55.360 I'm playing for the Dolphins and my coach has that speech, 0:07:56.120 --> 0:08:02.880 I'm going let's get them. Oh all, coach, you're done? 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:05.200 What what what do you say? It's about a mindset 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:10.560 or something like that? Oh my goodness, come on, yeah, point. 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:13.200 Did the Dolphins coach just give the weather bulletin barbitarial? 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:14.960 He said it the weather's overrated. You don't want to 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:18.720 give weather b whoa weather is going to take this personally? Hey, back, 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:21.840 here is two a tongue of ioloa on the weather. 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:25.920 For me, at least I can speak for myself that 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:30.000 it's a mindset thing. Really. Um and if I'm too 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:33.880 focused and worried about you know, is it too code? It? 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:37.520 Can I can I really grab the ball? Can I not? Like? Then? 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:40.960 You know, I would say I'm focused on the wrong things. Okay, 0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:44.000 could you give me an update on the weather forecast 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:47.160 in Buffalo Saturday? Of course, Buffalo, New York Friday night, 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:49.560 one to three inches expected, So there's the base coat 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:52.760 during the day on Saturday, thirty two degrees another one 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:56.640 to three inches. That's said. I checked some local reports 0:08:57.000 --> 0:09:00.360 that could change drastically because of how the jetstree goes 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:04.120 through Buffalo. Keep an eye in the barometric pressure Saturday 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:07.160 night twenty five degrees ten to fifteen mile hour win, 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:10.320 which is big chance of snow sixty percent. Doesn't seem 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:13.559 like a big snowstorm, but right now snow is expected 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:16.000 for twenty four hours. I'd like a wintry mix, is 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:18.240 what I would like. There By the way, in case 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:20.440 you're wondering, the Niners are three and a half point 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:24.160 favorites against the Seahawks tonight, the over under listed at 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:29.080 forty three. That according to draft Kings, here's one who 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:31.680 has the best chance, who has the best chance to 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:40.680 score a touchdown at any time tonight best on. If 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:45.640 you said Kenneth Walker Junior the third, you'd be correct. 0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:50.520 And then Christian McCaffrey is also in there as well. 0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:53.920 Not sure about brock Purty, but that might be a 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:57.240 game time decision. All right, what else do we have, Fritzie, 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:01.400 We've got. Being great a home and terrible on the 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:05.640 road aka the Warriors is fairly common. No Biggie signs 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:08.080 of a big problem. The Warriors are two and thirteen 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:11.120 on the road this season. That matches their worst road 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:14.280 start since nineteen ninety seven, when they also started out 0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:18.680 two and thirteen. I don't worry about the Golden State 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:21.960 Warriors during the regular season. I do worry about the 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:24.800 margin of these losses on the road when you get 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:27.880 blown out, and I think it's been an average of 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:32.200 fourteen at least fourteen points with all of these losses 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:34.320 on the road, and I'm not sure what it comes 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:36.679 down to. I don't know if Steve Kerr has been 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:40.640 able to provide an explanation on this. Steph Curry banged 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:43.720 up his non shooting shoulder last night, still had thirty 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:47.000 eight points and a loss to the Pacers. I'm just 0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:50.360 waiting for see. You know, you got to tie this 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:53.320 correctly because you have the older players and then you 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:55.680 have the younger players. I'm still waiting for some of 0:10:55.720 --> 0:11:00.840 the younger players to step up and cominga wiseman. You know, 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:04.960 I like Jordan Pool, But you know what is Draymond 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.520 going to give you the rest of this season? Is 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:11.040 Clay gonna be able to recapture the old Klay Thompson. 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:16.400 Steph being healthy keeps you in the conversation, and you know, 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:20.640 he's the basketball's version of Patrick Mahomes. He keeps you 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:24.040 competitive there. But you've seen as great as Steph has 0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:26.719 been this year, it doesn't matter because they haven't won 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:29.040 on the road. Yeah, Paul, I got last year's Golden 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:32.000 State Warriors. They were twenty two and nineteen away on 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.560 a season there three games above five hundred. There is 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:36.480 no team in basketball I think last year the worst 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:38.679 team in basketball on a road, because actually I think 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:41.199 the Portland Trailblazers they were They were not good on 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:44.160 the road. All right, any other poll question suggestions there? 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:46.840 We have a couple more. Okay, should the NFL add 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:50.720 roughing of a passer to instant replay? All right, Yes, 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:53.920 we'll talk to Peter King about this. I think roughing 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:58.000 the passer calls are down dramatically. I just want them 0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:01.640 to be more consistent. That's the problem I have. The 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:05.120 Dolphins had a defender who was called for roughing the passer, 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:09.680 Jalen Phillips roughing, But that was in the Chargers game 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:14.640 and he I mean, he didn't lay Justin Herbert down, 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:17.920 but he did do his best to avoid landing on 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:21.080 him after the sack. And then they called that like 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:23.400 which I you know you're watching it. You go, what 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:26.520 are you seeing that I'm not seeing? Because to me, 0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:30.440 be more consistent with it. They're calling less, but be 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:32.800 more consistent when you call it what else Todd? And 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:34.520 one other one was when it comes to the World 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:38.400 Cup final, I am team Mbope or team Mbope, however 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:41.160 you want to say it, team messy or not interested 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:46.040 at all. I would love to see Messi go out 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:50.199 this way. Bope has already won the World Cup, and 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:54.160 you know he's very young, making one hundred million dollars 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:58.320 a year right now for Paris singers. But you know 0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:02.839 here's Messy. But is he thirty five? This is it? 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:06.720 Go out this way? You never won this. This is 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:10.360 where you cement goat status. You know Ronaldo had a 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:14.080 horrible World Cup. Yeah, I guess they're part of me, 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:16.480 even though I picked France to win it. That I 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:19.760 would love to see Messi win the World Cup, all right? 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:22.280 Eight seven seven three d P Show email address DPA 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:25.640 dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle a DPE show.

I saw some of 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:12.080 the topics that were discussed, including the roughing the passer 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:16.360 and how do you legislate that as we move forward? Yes, Polly, 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:20.880 as of last night, brock party is questionable. Oblique okay, 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:24.480 not optus, but oblique. Okay. Let's bring in Peter King, 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:27.080 who joins us. Before I talked football, I know you 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:31.280 knew Grant Wall, the great soccer writer, and also got 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:36.080 an opportunity to spend time talking to his wife. Would 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:40.880 you like to share some of that conversation. Yeah, sure, Dan, 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:47.240 thank you. Yes. Selene Gounder, who is now Grant's widow, 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:54.320 I think is you know when she was discussing with 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:59.200 me Grant's death, I think it was a cross between 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:05.320 trying to be clinical and also talking about someone who 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:10.160 she obviously loved dearly, and it was hard at times 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:12.600 for her. I did an interview with her that I 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:16.040 posted as a podcast yesterday, but the one thing that 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:21.760 really stood out to me is that she feels so 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:29.400 incredibly grateful for everyone who has basically sung the praises 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:32.840 of Grant Wall as the greatest soccer writer and the greatest, 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:37.320 the most influential sports media person in the United States 0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:41.240 about this growing sport and Dan back in twenty ten 0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:44.240 when we both worked for Sports Illustrated, I went to 0:17:44.280 --> 0:17:48.119 cover the World Cup in South Africa, and Grant was 0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:54.520 basically my entree into this world of soccer. He took 0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:58.120 me everywhere. He introduced me to everybody. He said, Hey, 0:17:58.160 --> 0:18:01.200 go talk to Bob Bradley, the coach. He's a big 0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:04.639 Parcels guy. You know, you'll have something in common. You know, 0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:08.240 he's a New Jersey guy. And so it was all 0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:12.919 that kind of stuff. And you know, some people might say, well, geez, 0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:16.439 this is Grant's giving you time with people who he 0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:23.520 cultivated and who he wanted to be able to work with. 0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:26.400 And I always thought that the reason he did that 0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:31.760 is not only for total unselfishness in class, but because 0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:35.800 he wanted to see the game grow in the United States. 0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:39.240 And so that's why he's introduced to meat everybody. He 0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:43.040 wants me to write about it to a non soccer crowd, 0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:47.240 you know. So he just was an unselfish guy who 0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:50.960 had so many people around the country who can say 0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:54.120 right now that He was a huge influence in their lives, 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:57.480 and I think that's what Selene right now really appreciates 0:18:57.520 --> 0:19:00.920 about him. Yes, I think that people might know the 0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:03.479 name Grant Wall because he did the profile on Lebron 0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:05.920 James when Lebron was still in high school, did the 0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:10.320 cover story and the first one to really say America, 0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:13.520 here's the future in Lebron James and then but he 0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:17.320 really was known for being a soccer writer and help 0:19:17.480 --> 0:19:22.360 grow the sport immensely. And I hope there's some posthumous 0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:25.119 honor for him that his wife can share in, his 0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:30.320 widow can share in that's soccer related. I do too, 0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:33.639 and I think US Soccer, Hey, look, you know you 0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:38.480 heard Becky sowerbrun Abbey Wombach, Tyler Adams from this year's 0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:45.080 team really get very very emotional talking about Grant and 0:19:45.160 --> 0:19:48.600 so I'm sure that US Soccer is going to do something. 0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:51.679 They should do something. I hope a lot of people 0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:54.520 do something because his is a memory that we all 0:19:54.520 --> 0:19:58.359 should cherish. We're talking to Peter King. Football Morning in 0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:02.119 America columnists comes out every Monday morning, and a contributor 0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:06.800 to Football Night in America. NFL owners meetings, the review 0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:10.120 on roughing the passer. If I'm correct with the numbers 0:20:10.840 --> 0:20:14.840 that they haven't called it as often based off last year, 0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:18.399 but they've been inconsistent in how they're calling it. Is 0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:21.919 that a fair way to look at this topic. I 0:20:21.960 --> 0:20:26.000 think it's fair. I think the issue is that you 0:20:26.160 --> 0:20:30.560 basically because roughing the passer dan, if you think about it, 0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:36.000 is almost exclusively called by the referee. There's two of 0:20:36.040 --> 0:20:39.400 the seven officials, two of the seven game officials who 0:20:39.480 --> 0:20:43.520 call the game from the backfield. One is the umpire 0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:47.640 and he's mostly watching the offensive line, and the other 0:20:48.119 --> 0:20:52.520 is the referee, and he is charged on that specific 0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:57.439 play with watching if it's a pass play, watching the 0:20:57.560 --> 0:21:02.040 hits on the quarterback, and you have seventeen people, and 0:21:02.200 --> 0:21:06.560 you have seventeen even though the NFL tries so hard 0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:10.520 to make it an absolute equal standard, it's impossible. They're 0:21:10.600 --> 0:21:14.280 human beings. So you have one guy who's going to say, well, 0:21:14.640 --> 0:21:17.439 that looked like he was the quarterback was flung to 0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:20.480 the ground, and I'm going to call it, And another 0:21:20.800 --> 0:21:23.919 referee would say, hey, he's just throwing the guy to 0:21:23.960 --> 0:21:27.280 the ground. He was his momentum carried him. He didn't 0:21:27.320 --> 0:21:30.960 do that. Maliciously, and so that's the issue right now. 0:21:31.000 --> 0:21:33.840 And look, I'm all for the NFL trying to make 0:21:33.880 --> 0:21:38.040 the game as well officiated as possible. And Dan, what's 0:21:38.040 --> 0:21:41.520 the old cliche about you know, you're never going to 0:21:41.600 --> 0:21:44.560 be perfect, but if you seek perfection, you'll be the 0:21:44.600 --> 0:21:48.280 best that you can be. That's fine. But for everybody 0:21:48.359 --> 0:21:52.080 to want to have pass interference in roughing the passer 0:21:52.600 --> 0:21:56.480 called the same by seventeen crews, it's a pipe dream. 0:21:56.520 --> 0:22:01.000 It's never gonna happen. Are you against replay review for 0:22:01.240 --> 0:22:08.720 roughing the pastor? I mean, I'm sort of Dan, you know, 0:22:08.920 --> 0:22:11.520 I think replay ought to be used on any play 0:22:11.600 --> 0:22:15.160 that a coach wants to challenge. And you know that's 0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:20.080 a that's a belichick ism too. But the reason that 0:22:20.200 --> 0:22:22.960 I feel that way is that if you only have 0:22:23.000 --> 0:22:25.800 a certain amount of challenges in a game, you're gonna 0:22:25.800 --> 0:22:29.560 be judicious with them as a coach. So it's not 0:22:29.640 --> 0:22:31.760 gonna be oh my god, there's gonna be so many 0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:35.440 more stoppages. Coaches are gonna have to save a challenge 0:22:35.520 --> 0:22:37.159 or two for late in the games, so they're not 0:22:37.240 --> 0:22:40.440 gonna throw a flag on something that happens with ten 0:22:40.480 --> 0:22:43.800 minutes left in the first quarter most likely. So all 0:22:43.840 --> 0:22:47.080 I'm saying is I'm in favor of being able to 0:22:47.160 --> 0:22:51.840 challenge anything. But I mean, I think there are a 0:22:51.880 --> 0:22:57.240 lot more important things that can be challenged honestly then 0:22:57.520 --> 0:23:00.800 hits on quarterbacks. It's it's some thing that is not 0:23:00.920 --> 0:23:06.240 just going to be done in h in a uniform way. Yeah, 0:23:06.400 --> 0:23:09.320 I worry that if we start to go a little 0:23:09.320 --> 0:23:13.680 bit closer to college. You have automatic objections here. Um, 0:23:14.520 --> 0:23:17.040 you know those review you know they do look at those. 0:23:17.080 --> 0:23:20.000 But still you're talking about automatic ejections. I don't know 0:23:20.040 --> 0:23:25.439 if the NFL gets to that point, I don't think so. 0:23:26.280 --> 0:23:31.800 I can't see it. I can't see you know, Micah 0:23:31.840 --> 0:23:37.240 Parsons five minutes into a into a playoff game, driving uh, 0:23:37.720 --> 0:23:41.800 Jalen hurts into the ground and uh, you know, and 0:23:42.080 --> 0:23:47.840 Sean Hockeyley saying ejection. It's just it's too these games, 0:23:48.240 --> 0:23:51.320 even regular season games, they're too important I think to 0:23:51.480 --> 0:23:56.520 make Now. Look, it's one thing if if Micah Parsons 0:23:56.960 --> 0:24:00.280 rears back and slugs Jalen Hurts in the jaw with 0:24:00.320 --> 0:24:03.919 a punch, you should be ejected, but not for a 0:24:03.960 --> 0:24:09.000 football play that maybe is over the line. The NFL 0:24:09.480 --> 0:24:13.120 talked about the lowest average score margin for a season. 0:24:14.160 --> 0:24:17.359 There's closer games. This is the lowest average score margin 0:24:17.440 --> 0:24:21.520 for a season since nineteen thirty two. But scoring is down. 0:24:22.920 --> 0:24:25.520
