1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,440 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. I'm not surprised the Bengals beat the Vikings, 3 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,840 Speaker 1: so I wouldn't put the Vikings in there. McLevin. My 4 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 1: Bengals beating the Vikings, got it, They're out. Okay, you're 5 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:16,120 Speaker 1: gonna put somebody else in there. Isn't this gonna be Buffalo. 6 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 1: They lost at home to Pittsburgh. Everybody's talking about Josh 7 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 1: Allen and the Bills being a Super Bowl too. Well, 8 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 1: Green Bay. I think those are one and two. Yeah, 9 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: I don't think the Browns belong on there. I thought 10 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 1: they looked pretty pretty impressive. I think it's how they 11 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 1: lost because they were the better team for three quarters 12 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden they gave Mahomes an 13 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 1: opportunity and he took advantage of them. Joe Burrow, the 14 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,879 Speaker 1: Bengals quarterback, led the Bengals to the win against the 15 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,840 Speaker 1: Vikings twenty twenty seven through for a couple of touchdowns, 16 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: including one to his former teammate Jamar Chase as they 17 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 1: pick up the victory in overtime. Congratulations, Joe, how do 18 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: you feel today to start the season off of the win, 19 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: especially the way we won we know, sayd see came 20 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: out on top. That's something we weren't able to do 21 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: last year or so it's good to be to win 22 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 1: like that. I take me into overtime, fourth and one. 23 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: You have the ball your own forty eight, there's thirty 24 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: nine seconds to go in the third quarter. You had 25 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: a fourth in one, you ran the ball. What's the 26 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 1: conversation like with that play call to keep the drive alive? Hey, 27 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: we're gonna put the ball in my Handsum No, I 28 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: saw a look from the defense that I think opened 29 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: up the play that we had. So we got to 30 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 1: that play and you know, it wasn't didn't work out 31 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: the way we expected it too, but we got the 32 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 1: job done. Wait, but you go to the line of scrimmage. 33 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 1: Is the play called going to be a running call? Yes? 34 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: Yeah it is. And then you see something and then 35 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: you realize that, hey, I got an option here and 36 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: I can hit my tight end. Yeah. They put basically 37 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: three D line or they put a D linment over 38 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: the center and then two D linmon in the A gaps, 39 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: And so I knew it was gonna be tough to 40 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: run the ball. So we just got to a us 41 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: and executed it. How much fun is it to uh, well, 42 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: take me back to the play in the huddle call? 43 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 1: What is the play that you threw to Jamar for 44 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: his first NFL touchdown? Just double go? Why shallow? Um? 45 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: Just tell Jamar to run as fast as you can? Okay, 46 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,359 Speaker 1: say did you say Jamar, just run as fast as 47 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: you can? I'll throw it up to That was understood. 48 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: Explain this whole the college football to the NFL football, 49 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: and Jamar was not able to pick it up. I mean, 50 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: I understand it, but it sort of came out. I'd 51 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 1: never heard it before from a wide receiver. Well, I 52 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: think Jamar is an honest guy, and he's been having 53 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 1: some struggles, um basically just in the preseason games. You know, 54 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: he's been playing really well in practice, and you know, 55 00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:00,399 Speaker 1: the NFL football is different. I don't know how big 56 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: of a part of the plane in the drop scene 57 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: was having in the preseason, but you know, there's no 58 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 1: doubt in my mind he's gonna start up ready to 59 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: play Game one, and he sure did. You know, people 60 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: were asking me what I think he was going to 61 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 1: look like yesterday, and that's told everyone just don't worry 62 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: about Jamara, all right, he's gonna show up on game 63 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: Dame dous thing, and that's exactly what it did. How 64 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: much do you think of your your off season, with 65 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: your surgeries, with your knee. Now, I've put in the 66 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: work to to not think about the knee at all. Um, 67 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: you know, I got got rolled up, got hit on 68 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: it yesterday and you know it felt great. So that 69 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: was exciting for me. You put that behind us and 70 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: we can move on. What was the worst day for you? 71 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: Worst day in the rehab? Yeah, I mean those first 72 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: couple of days after surgery, we're pretty excruciating. You know, 73 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: there's a lot of a lot of damage in there, 74 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: a lot of trauma, and so those those first couple 75 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: of days after surgery, basically any kind of movement was 76 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: appreciating pain. So that was not very fun. But we 77 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: got that fairly quickly after about a week and then 78 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: it was smooth sailing. Bears played the Rams last night. 79 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: How much of that game did you watch since your 80 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: next game is against the Bears. Yeah, I watched all 81 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: of it. No, they obviously have some some really good 82 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 1: players on defense. You know, the Rams played really well. 83 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: They got some Rams are loaded. Um, gonna have to 84 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to to bring some of that next week. 85 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: I'm excited to go into Chicago. I think that'll be 86 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 1: a fun road game, and they're they're talented on defense. 87 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: We're shop to play. Is the game slowing down? College quarterbacks? 88 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: Are you know, relatively new quarterbacks in the NFL? Talk 89 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: about us a year two it starts to slow down 90 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: a little bit. You're able to kind of see things differently. 91 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: Has that happened to you? Yeah? I think you know, 92 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 1: right before I got hurt last year, it was really 93 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: starting to click for me and slowing down, and then 94 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 1: I got hurt and wasn't able to really show that 95 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: the last part of season. So you know, I feel 96 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: really comfortable back there yesterday and we had a great 97 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 1: plan going in, ran the ball well, defense played great. 98 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: I think it was a great team win. What advice 99 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: would you give a rookie quarterback. Don't be afraid to 100 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 1: make mistakes. You'll go out there and play your game. 101 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: You know, if you see it, throw, let it rip 102 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: and then you know, talk about it later. But you 103 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: know when I got into trouble is when I was 104 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: indecisive and you know, slow and what wasn't really sure 105 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: what I wanted to do, and when I just went 106 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 1: out there and let it rip, you know, I played 107 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: pretty well. Are you on social media? Yeah, I'm back 108 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: on There's not a big Twitter guy, but I'm on Instagram. 109 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 1: It's dangerous, Joe, it is, it really is. That's why 110 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: I'm not on Twitter because you know, Twitter, they can 111 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: get to you every little thing you get. You see 112 00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: Instagram you kind of in your own little world. You know, 113 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: look at all that stuff. Were you on Twitter last year? Um? 114 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: I mean a little bit much? But Twitter? Yeah? Twitter 115 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: is a not a not a very positive place. Which 116 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: how did they rough you up? What were some of 117 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: the things that were said? I mean you hear it 118 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: all how I mean, bust, weak, arm, terrible, I mean 119 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: all of the above. You hear it all on Twitter. 120 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: Instagram is a little more positive, is that what you're saying? Yeah, 121 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: you know, I think everyone is a positive mindset on there. 122 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: If you could change one rule in the NFL that 123 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: that you had in college, is there a rule that 124 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: you would love to change? Now, that's a good question. 125 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: I would like for them to be less TV timeouts. Yeah. 126 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: It feels like every series you're running out there and 127 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: waiting for four minutes before you start to play. Really 128 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: feels like I don't know, it feels just like you 129 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: take a long time to get out there and call 130 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: the play. What do you talk about when you're out 131 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: there waiting for the you know, the game to start 132 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: or continue resume.

Then he relays what 137 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: he wants me to tell some of the guys in 138 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: the huddle as far as what to pertain for their jobs. 139 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: And then also you just you know, kind of have 140 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: a little fun out there, talk about whatever. You know, 141 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: you don't want it to get too serious. Did you 142 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: want to talk about the LSU Tigers? Yeah, sure, I'll 143 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: talk about the Tigers. Did you watch the UCLA game? 144 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: I did? Yeah? I did? Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, that was 145 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: a tough one. Um, but I think they got a 146 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: great coaching staff. But'll they'll get that right. Yeah, And 147 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: it seemed like the physicality was lacking, lacking a little 148 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: bit and by no coach, Oh that's not gonna last 149 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: for very long? Does it, Ohio states loss affect you 150 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: at all. Um, No, I don't. I don't. You know, 151 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: I haven't played with you know, last year. Even last year, 152 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: I had some guys on the team that I played with, 153 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: so I was still I was rooting for him. Um, 154 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: but no, it doesn't affect me too much. I still 155 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: talked to some of the coaches there, so I still 156 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: have some relationships on the team. But I wouldn't say 157 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: it affected me. Well, it's great to talk to you. 158 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,559 Speaker 1: And I mean you talked to Urban Meyer about giving 159 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,199 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence advice?

Wait, so you're friends with him now? 166 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 1: You said, yeah, yeah, but you weren't friends with him? Oh, him, 167 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: and he was my coach. You know he was hard 168 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: on me. Um, but no, now that you know, we've 169 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,319 Speaker 1: kind of got away from it from a for a while, 170 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: you know, we're we're good friends. We talk a lot 171 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: about a lot of different things, football, life, all that 172 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: good stuff. Does he make you laugh? Is he funny? Yeah? Yeah, 173 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: he's hilarious in his own way. Yeah. But I keep 174 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: hearing that about Nick Saban and Bill Belichick, but I 175 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: never see it. Well, I don't think they want you 176 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 1: to see. Oh okay, yeah, but they're doing a good 177 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: job of that. Joe, just Y, Hey, congrats on the wind, 178 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: good luck against the Bears, and uh you know, maybe 179 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: uh Justin Fields will be getting a little more airtime 180 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: for the Bears with this game. Yeah, you know, he's 181 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: a good player. He was you know, the three plays 182 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 1: he got yesterday, he was deciding to watch. He's gonna 183 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: have a good future. Thank you, Joe. Good to talk 184 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: to you. That's Joe Burrow, Bengals quarterback. Last time we 185 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 1: saw him was in Miami at the Super Bowl. Came in. 186 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 1: He was taller than we thought, looked a little more 187 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,839 Speaker 1: like the actor of Vince Vaughan than we thought, and 188 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 1: a little slighter than what we thought. A lot of 189 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: these quarterbacks, like Matt Ryan. When we saw Matt Ryan 190 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 1: at Pebble Beach, it's like, damn, he's every bit six 191 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: five six six quarterbacks look a whole lot bigger in person. 192 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: Well some do, because you see him being thrown around 193 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 1: like rag dolls, and you're like, the first time I 194 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 1: met Dan Marino, I'm like, how's the defense throwing you 195 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: around like that? Dude? You're a big guy. Phil Simms, 196 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: big guy. Carson Palmer, big guy. A lot of times. 197 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: You look at these, you see big Ben and he 198 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: is big. Yes, MC. How about Tom Brady you put 199 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: him in that list. No, he's taller than you think, 200 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: but not big. Josh Allen is taller than he looks 201 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: and bigger than he looks. But you watch these, you know, 202 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 1: defensive players, and you know they've just throw him around. Yeah. 203 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,559 Speaker 1: I went back and watched the Joe Burrow interview from 204 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: when we were at the Super Bowl in Miami. Do 205 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: you remember the first question we asked him because we 206 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: were talking about how young he looked. You asked him 207 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: if he shaves? Oh, you guys, I have shaved. Oh 208 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: I don't shave regularly. That's great, we're talking about young 209 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: he look Yeah, I remember the big deal was, you know, 210 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 1: did you want to be drafted by the Bengals. We're 211 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: not going there anymore. Man, I'm hearing from my friends 212 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. What are you trying to do? You're trying 213 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 1: to sabbatalk. I'm going I just want to know if 214 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: he wants to be drafted. It's not that crazy like 215 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: people are so territorial and I'm not. My job is 216 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: to just say, hey, do you want to go there? 217 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: Eli Manning did not want to go to the Chargers. 218 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: John Elway did not want to go to the Colts. 219 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: It's happened before. It's not like I go, man, he's 220 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: gonna he's gonna demand to be traded. It's just I 221 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: wanted to hear if he truly was embracing Cincinnati, the 222 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: Bengals wanting to go there. He's an Ohio guy. Although 223 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: people think he grew up in Cincinnati, he grew up 224 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 1: up north, you know, I think around Ohio University. Yes, mclemon. 225 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 1: There's a lot of positive energy around the Bengals. They 226 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 1: seem to be like buddies all. I mean, I know 227 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: that sounds really ridiculous, but everybody was sort of supportive 228 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: of each other. Yeah, it was twenty one seven, and 229 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: then the Vikings came back, and then it was over 230 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: time and I go, don't lose this game. Now, you 231 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: want to build off this Jamar Chase. You know, Joe 232 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: Mixon has quietly had a nice career, very good all 233 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: purpose back. Now I know what happened in college, and 234 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 1: that'll stay with him the rest of his life and 235 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: he might not be able to be a star because 236 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: of that. But Jamar Chase looks good, you know, on 237 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 1: the offensive line, and I remember that the Bengals. A 238 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,559 Speaker 1: lot of people thought, hey, take Penny sewel you get 239 00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: an offensive line for Joe Burrow. I'm all four that 240 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 1: protecting your quarterback. It helps when you have a wide 241 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: receiver like Jamar Chase. You know, you got Joe Burrow 242 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: in a game where Justin Jefferson is playing for the 243 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: Vikings and he was with you and you got Jamar Chase. 244 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: Those are some nice luxuries that you have at LSU. 245 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: Well you did have at LSU. Yes, point, Dan, your 246 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,319 Speaker 1: Bengals could have a good run this first half of 247 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 1: the season at Chicago, at Pittsburgh, Jacksonville, Green Bay, Detroit, 248 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 1: then a little tougher Baltimore. But then the Jets first 249 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,439 Speaker 1: eight games. Yeah, yeah, MC. I think they opened his 250 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: three point underdogs against the Bears. Yeah. Yeah, I was 251 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 1: a little surprise by that. Well, the Bears are at home. 252 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: I mean, you're gonna usually if they probably look at 253 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: that game as a toss up. Congratulations to Fritzie's Broncos. 254 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: There's a nice win. Thank you, Dodd. That's all that's 255 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: all you get. Yeah, you got the Giants. You beat 256 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 1: the Giants. Congratulations on the Yeah. Yeah, and Teddy Bridgewater 257 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 1: not an easy place to play. I don't know about that. 258 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,199 Speaker 1: They're pretty loud there. You know, it's a whole lot 259 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: easier when you're playing the Giants. You might go, boll 260 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 1: that's tough place to win. Yeah, when the Giants were 261 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 1: really good, it was a tough place to win. It's 262 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,079 Speaker 1: interesting that now there aren't many places where you go 263 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: and you go, boy, that's tough place to play and 264 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: the team's not any good. Although that that home stadium 265 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: advantage for Kansas City, that to me, that played a 266 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: large role. It felt like in just the momentum shift 267 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: and once they sensed it, then you have the botched 268 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: punt and then you have Mahomes doing what Mahomes does. 269 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: When Travis Kelsey was great, Travis I think is going 270 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: to join US Wednesday. I think so yes, Sorry, thank you, Todd. Yeah, 271 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: what did you guys think of the Rams new stadium? 272 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: That's that's gorgeous, isn't it. It's very majestic. There was 273 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: a lot. Yeah, yeah, But Seaton brought this up. He said, 274 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: it's almost like they built it for almost like a 275 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: TV set. You know, it's Hollywood and you're building something 276 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: that looks great for TV. And I thought that that 277 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: was that that kind of showed through. Yeah. Yeah, because 278 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: if you look, it's not really that coliseum like setting 279 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 1: like say MetLife, right, that's more of a traditional looking stadium. 280 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: This thing. Everything was like this sweeping, beautiful view and 281 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: you're like, how is there even a football game going 282 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: on inside there? It just it just really looked great 283 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: on screen, and the uniforms look great. Matthew Stafford, you 284 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: want to have a debut with the new team, boy, 285 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: that's the way to do it. Here's my first pass, 286 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: and then Cooper cup down the middle, down the seam, 287 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: and the Bears looked a little discombobulated, and then Andy 288 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: Dalton throws the interception tip pass as Justin Field's gonna 289 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 1: start Week two at home because I said, I wouldn't 290 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: start him on the road Sunday night against the Rams, 291 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: but at home against the Bengals, yeah, I would. I 292 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 1: give him a shot. But you know, the coaches know. 293 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 1: The coaches can see how a player progresses. Does he 294 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: know the playbook, how is he in practice, how do 295 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: his teammates respond. There's so much more that goes into 296 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: it other than hey, Andy Dalton's not our future and 297 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: we drafted justin fields. We've got to put him in there. 298 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 1: He might not be ready, and you want to put 299 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 1: somebody in when you believe he's ready because you don't 300 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: want to have one of those disastrous debuts. You want 301 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 1: to have momentum going in. And you know mac Jones yesterday, 302 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: they didn't expand the playbook. It was pretty much dink 303 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 1: and dunk. There wasn't anything that was truly dramatic. But 304 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 1: he was very efficient. But he played like I thought 305 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: he would play. I thought that they would utilize the 306 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 1: tight ends, they would utilize the running backs out of 307 00:16:55,640 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: the backfield. But you know the Dolphins in the head zone. 308 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: You know, if you're going to force them to kick 309 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:07,199 Speaker 1: field goals, you can stay in the game. And you 310 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: know that's what happened, then you have the fumble. All 311 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: it takes is that one play.

I know they 326 00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,479 Speaker 1: didn't win, but they beat Kansas City and game if 327 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 1: you watch it from start to finish, and it's just 328 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 1: a matter for them now of just learning how to 329 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 1: finish down the stretch. This is a team that turned 330 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 1: the entire organization and franchise around when Kevin Stefancy got there. 331 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,640 Speaker 1: The mentality has completely changed. The culture has changed now 332 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: just learning how to win down the stretch. But I 333 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,680 Speaker 1: mean having the Chiefs, who two years ago they won 334 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Last year they were in the Super Bowl, 335 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:25,639 Speaker 1: A lot of people thought that they probably could have 336 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: won that Super Bowl, and going into their place in 337 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: Week one and really out playing them. I don't think 338 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: that that is anybody's something that anybody should be ashamed 339 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: of if you're a Browns fan. But we're waiting for 340 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: a signature moment from Baker Mayfield? Is that fair to 341 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,479 Speaker 1: say we're still waiting for that moment where you go, Okay, 342 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 1: that's what elite quarterbacks do. Yeah. Absolutely, And you know 343 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: last year against the Ravens, he had that moment, but 344 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,199 Speaker 1: unfortunately Mr Jackson was a little bit better down the 345 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 1: stretch and they were they weren't able to win the game. 346 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: So you don't really think of Baker having that signature moment. 347 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,919 Speaker 1: He's still such a young quarterback. If he continues to 348 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 1: play the way he did yesterday the rest of this season, 349 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 1: he's going to get plenty of those moments in this season. 350 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: Right now. He's ready for it. What was more disappointing 351 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: for the fan bases the Bills losing at home to 352 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: the Steelers, or the Packers losing the way they lost 353 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: to the Saints in Florida. The Packers obviously, because everybody's 354 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: talking about the last dance for the Packers. Aaron Rodgers, 355 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: Davante Adams, like this is their moment. They're going to 356 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,399 Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl. Expectations are sky high, and to 357 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 1: be able to go and just completely aterred against a 358 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,640 Speaker 1: team that really how so many questions going into this game. 359 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 1: You know, how are they going to replace Drew Brees? 360 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,679 Speaker 1: How are they going to be able to focus on 361 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 1: this game with the hurricane displacing so many of them 362 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: and their family playing the game in Jacksonville, and then 363 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: coming out and stomping all over the Packers really in 364 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 1: a defensive effort. I know Jameis Winson had five touchdown passes, 365 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: but it was a defense that completely stifled the Packers 366 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: and turned to Aaron Rodgers into a common look quarterback. 367 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: That was really impressive, And a lot of credit has 368 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,360 Speaker 1: to go to Sean Payton and the job he'd done 369 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: with getting that team ready, focusing through all the distractions 370 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,679 Speaker 1: and making Jamis Winston from a turnover machine to a 371 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: touchstock machine. But also there's the defense usually start out 372 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: ahead of offenses in your opinion and what you experience 373 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: when you played, Yeah, they do because they don't have 374 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 1: as many things to learn, they don't have as many 375 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 1: things to install. It's much more instinctual as far as 376 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: just learning how to go out and tackle and run 377 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: and hit. Like there's a lot of plays on defense, 378 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:36,919 Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, but offense is so much more 379 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 1: about detail, communication, installing new plays, reacting to what the 380 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 1: defense is doing to you. So typically, development wise, the 381 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: defense is way ahead. But when you have a guy 382 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,919 Speaker 1: like Aaron Rodgers who's been around forever and they've been 383 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: in this offense now several years under Matt Lafleur, I 384 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: don't think that necessarily is true. In this case, they 385 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: should have been able to come out and they should 386 00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,199 Speaker 1: have been firing on all cylinders. It's not like this 387 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: is the first time that they've played in this offense. 388 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 1: And it's not like this is Aaron Rodgers is fifth 389 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: or six year in the NFL. I mean, he's seen 390 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,160 Speaker 1: everything that's out there. He's got an experienced offense. There's 391 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,120 Speaker 1: no excuse to have a clunker like they did. On Sunday. 392 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:15,120 Speaker 1: Is Chandler Jones a Hall of Famer. I don't think 393 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 1: he has Hall of Fame credentials yet, like if he 394 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: retired tomorrow, but certainly the way he played in the 395 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 1: game on Sunday, he's got Hall of Fame talent and 396 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: he's building that Hall of Fame resume. To be an 397 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 1: All Pro, to be a Pro bowler, you can do 398 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 1: that in one season. To be a Hall of Famer, 399 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 1: you've got to do that over nearly almost a decade 400 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: of football. And so he's two sacks, right, I think 401 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: certainly there's the number right right, that's a big number. 402 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: But without the longevity, I think he becomes one of 403 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,120 Speaker 1: those guys that you talk about. But I don't think 404 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: he gets in at this point. But certainly he's right there. 405 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 1: I mean a few more seasons like he's been having, 406 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,719 Speaker 1: and I think he definitely can be All of Famer. 407 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 1: What's the most sacks you gave up in a game? 408 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: I think I've ever given up a sack, Dan, there 409 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 1: was always the quarterbacks fall. No. I remember there was 410 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: a game where I gave up two sacks, like sort 411 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 1: of in the middle part of my career against the falcons, 412 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 1: and I was really frustrated by it. But you know, 413 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: as an offensive lineman, we're always telling ourselves, well, you know, 414 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: the quarterback was in the wrong spot, he held on 415 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: the ball too long, and so really wasn't my fault. Yeah, 416 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 1: they're gonna give me the credit. I'll take the credit. 417 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,360 Speaker 1: It was my fault. But you always kind of talk 418 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: your way out of it, like a you know, a 419 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,919 Speaker 1: high school kid. Well, I was late for curfew, but 420 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:33,880 Speaker 1: you know I hit a cat on the way home 421 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: and started to find the owner of the cat. And then, 422 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 1: you know, you always make those excuses in your head. 423 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,199 Speaker 1: Did you ever yelling getting mad at a quarterback because 424 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 1: he might have cost you a sack because he held 425 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 1: onto the ball too long or didn't step up in 426 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: the pocket. Yes, I yelled in my head. And typically 427 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: instead of yelling at him directly, because I know that's 428 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 1: kind of unproductive, what I would do is I just 429 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: wouldn't help him up. Like you know, usually, if if 430 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: you see the quarterback land in the ground, it's a 431 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: lineman's culture to go right over, help your ball carrier up, 432 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 1: help your quarterback up, especially if you gave up the 433 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: sacklick wait, wait, what was the name of that quarterback? 434 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 1: I can't remember. I can't even remember all the quarterbacks 435 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: that I played with that started with me, but that 436 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,159 Speaker 1: a lot of quarterbacks and quarterbacks back there. There was 437 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: a lot of quarterbacks back there. But I definitely instead 438 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: of helping him up, I'd just turned my head and 439 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 1: walked right back to the hottle. That was his way 440 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 1: of knowing that I was very displeased with what he 441 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: did on that play. Games surprised you the most yesterday? 442 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:33,360 Speaker 1: It was the Packers, right because living in Wisconsin, I mean, 443 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,679 Speaker 1: everybody had high expectations. That was what the conversation was 444 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: about the entire offseason, how this was their last dance, 445 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 1: they were going to win the Super Bowl. Aaron Rodgers 446 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 1: was super motivated. He finally, you know, kind of got 447 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 1: a little bit what he wants, so he was a 448 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: little bit more happy. But maybe what we want from 449 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: an Aaron Rodgers is a piste off Aaron Rodgers. Maybe 450 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 1: maybe that's what he needs to get the best out 451 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 1: of himself and then get the best out of his teammates. 452 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: Because what we saw of Aaron Rodgers was not what 453 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:02,639 Speaker 1: I recognized as an Aaron Rodgers. Performance when you have 454 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback. What's that like for the offensive linement 455 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 1: of knowing what your job is or how does that 456 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,920 Speaker 1: job change when you have a rookie quarterback. Well, it 457 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: makes your job a lot harder because, like I mentioned, 458 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever given up a sack because 459 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 1: the quarterback was in the wrong spot on every single 460 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: one of those sacks. But that's the issue with a 461 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 1: rookie quarterback and we saw it a little bit with 462 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence this weekend. Right, they're either not in the 463 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: right spot because they dropped too deep, their footwork wasn't right, 464 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 1: or they're holding ont of the ball too long, they're 465 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,880 Speaker 1: not going through the progressions the right way, and so 466 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 1: you deal with all those things as rookies because they 467 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:38,879 Speaker 1: got so much on their play. The quarterback position has 468 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 1: the most to learn out of any position in the 469 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 1: NFL by far, and it's so much of it as 470 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: decision making, getting the football at on time, and so 471 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 1: a lot of times when they're thinking about what's the 472 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: coverage doing, what's the pressure? Do I need to change 473 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: the protection, they forget about some of the little details 474 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 1: that Okay, maybe I'm supposed to take five steps and 475 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,479 Speaker 1: not seven. If I hit my seventh step, I need 476 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 1: to step up and I need to hitch up because 477 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,160 Speaker 1: otherwise I'm gonna be standing at ten and a half 478 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,719 Speaker 1: yards and the line is blocking for a spot at 479 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 1: nine yards, and so as a lignment, it's the worst 480 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,880 Speaker 1: feeling in the world where your guy turns and runs 481 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: a field and you turn and you feel like you're 482 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,159 Speaker 1: running them by, and all of a sudden, out of 483 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 1: the corner of my left eye, I can see the 484 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 1: quarterback and he's standing not where he's supposed to be, 485 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh crap, I gotta turn the jets 486 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:22,719 Speaker 1: on to try to push this guy pass. But at 487 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,400 Speaker 1: that point it's already too late. So it's just part 488 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 1: of dealing with a rookie. A young quarterback is dealing 489 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 1: with those moments where he didn't do what he was 490 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 1: supposed to do. But that's sort of the cost of 491 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,120 Speaker 1: doing business with a rookie if you're blocking for Ben 492 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:41,159 Speaker 1: Roethlisberger or you're blocking for somebody who has some mobility, 493 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 1: like the difference in you know, because Buffalo didn't get 494 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,639 Speaker 1: to Ben Roethlisberger yesterday and he not moving, he not 495 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 1: running out running anybody. You know, the different philosophy that 496 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: you have when you have somebody who has some elusive 497 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 1: moves there as opposed to a stationery Yeah, when you 498 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 1: have a quarterback that's elusive, like a Russell Wilson, Josh Allen, 499 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: those guys, Patrick Mahomes. You know you can't have that 500 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 1: internal clock where, Okay, I know the ball's supposed to 501 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 1: be thrown, I gotta turn and run and chase the 502 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 1: football and try to get downfield in case there's a 503 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:14,360 Speaker 1: fumble or in case I need to peel a guy 504 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 1: off the pile. What you're doing much more now is 505 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 1: you're reacting to whatever your defensive player is doing. It's 506 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 1: a little bit like when you're playing defensive back in 507 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 1: man coverage and you're following your guy. You're watching his 508 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 1: eyes because you can't see the football, you can't see 509 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: what's going on behind you. Same thing as an offensive tackle. 510 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 1: I'm watching that defensive end and I'm queuing off of 511 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,719 Speaker 1: his eyes. As soon as his eyes go this way, boom, 512 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,680 Speaker 1: I got to chase him because there's a good chance 513 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,679 Speaker 1: that all of a sudden, Russell Wilson has extended to 514 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 1: play and he's running out of the pocket, and I 515 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 1: gotta do whatever I can by hook or by crook 516 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:44,199 Speaker 1: to get my head in front of this guy and 517 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 1: get one last shove to be able to give Russell 518 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: that half a second. Then he needs to go hit 519 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett down the field for that big play. So 520 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,479 Speaker 1: it's much different than you gotta Ben Roethlisberger. You've got 521 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: those older quarterbacks who are much more this is where 522 00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be. They're gonna be right where they're supposed 523 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 1: to be. And once your guy turns and runs down field, 524 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:03,479 Speaker 1: you know the ball has been delivered. It's not like 525 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 1: Ben's scrambling back. They're trying to make plays with his feet. 526 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: When you have that college coach, successful coach who goes 527 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: into the NFL, Urban Meyer, what's the wrong thing for 528 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: that college coach to do once against too an NFL 529 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: locker room? The one wrong thing. I think we're seeing 530 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,159 Speaker 1: a lot of the wrong things and a lot of 531 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: the difficulties from Urban. Honestly, I think the hardest thing 532 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 1: for Urban Meyer is that he had no NFL experience, 533 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,120 Speaker 1: and so the hardest thing then is hiring your staff. 534 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: And there were some whispers coming out this week already 535 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:37,880 Speaker 1: that there was a lot of friction between the guys 536 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,439 Speaker 1: that he brought in from college that he was comfortable with, 537 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: that he had a relationship with, that he wasn't going 538 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 1: to have to teach every single thing that he wanted 539 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 1: to those guys and the guys that he brought in 540 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 1: that had the NFL experience, because it is a different 541 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 1: culture in the NFL and in college. There is a 542 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: lot of different concepts and schemes and how you want 543 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 1: to run your practice, how you need to treat your 544 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 1: players like a little bit more like professionals men to 545 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,399 Speaker 1: get the most out of them. And so I think 546 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,359 Speaker 1: the learning curve is already really steep when you're a 547 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: coach that's spent most of the time in college and 548 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 1: you make that transition to the pro game. We've seen 549 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 1: it so many times. But it's even worse when you 550 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 1: have no NFL experience because typically you're putting them together 551 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,640 Speaker 1: a staff that has half of the guys that are 552 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,239 Speaker 1: like your guys, and then half the guys that are 553 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: NFL guys that you don't really know but that have 554 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:26,160 Speaker 1: been recommended for you that you've hired without really having 555 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,640 Speaker 1: any relationship with and there's going to be a lot 556 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 1: of friction there. There's going to be friction between the 557 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,160 Speaker 1: guys that were college coaches that are trying to coach 558 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 1: the NFL players like they're still in college, where it's 559 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: more about trying to motivate them in a lot of 560 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 1: different ways to get them to play hard, Whereas in 561 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: the NFL, a lot of those guys are self motivated 562 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: and they're motivated by money, they're motivated by feeding their family, 563 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 1: that are motivated because they could get cut at any moment, 564 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 1: and so I think it's a lot more about teaching 565 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 1: at the NFL game and versus in colleges about motivating 566 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: and developing and just teaching the values and the fundamentals 567 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 1: of foot hard work, toughness, being on time. That doesn't 568 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: really fly as much in the NFL. You can see 569 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 1: Joe Thomas the NFL Network's NFL Game Day kick off Thursday. 570 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 1: It's six Eastern ahead of the Giants Washington game on 571 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football. Do you think Ron Rivera brings in 572 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 1: Cam Newton. That's a great question. I didn't hear what 573 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: the injury situation to the Big Beard man is. I 574 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: know he heard his hip, but I'm not sure how 575 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: long he's out. I still like Fitzpatrick with that team 576 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 1: because that defense is so good. I thought I didn't 577 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 1: keep played pretty well yesterday. And at this point it's 578 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 1: difficult to bring in a quarterback have him learn the 579 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 1: entire offense and get on the same page with your 580 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 1: pass catchers, unless you're going to bring in Cam and say, hey, 581 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 1: use your legs. We want you to scramble and you know, 582 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: kind of change the offense a little bit more. It's 583 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 1: more rpo type stuff, quarterback power, doing some of the 584 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 1: things that he did in New England. Then maybe you 585 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 1: think about it. But I think if they're going to 586 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 1: keep the same offense and continue to just try to 587 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 1: throw the football, then I don't think it's a great fit. 588 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 1: Good to talk to you always, Joe. We'll be watching 589 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 1: on Thursday night. Thank you, buddy. Awesome. Thanks Dan. That's 590 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: Joe Thomas, NFL Network analyst, former Brown's All Pro offensive tackle, 591 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 1: and we'll end up in Kenton in the Hall of Fame. 592 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 1: Let's go around the room. Best and worst to the weekend. 593 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 1: I'll start with Fritzie Todd Best and Worst to the weekend. 594 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 1: Best of the weekend eighteen year old qualifier Emma Radu Kanu. 595 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: Want to make sure I pronounced that right. Wins the 596 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 1: US Open, didn't lose even one set along the way, Emma, 597 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 1: nineteen year old La Fernandos showed great maturity and poise 598 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 1: throughout the way they handled the media and the fans. 599 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 1: I thought that was pretty awesome. Worst of the weekend 600 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 1: of giving it to Western Carolina and Alabama State. While 601 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 1: you ask, the Catamounts lose to the Sooner seventy six nothing, 602 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: the Hornets fall to Auburn sixty two nothing. So if 603 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 1: you're gonna do the math at home, one hundred and 604 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 1: thirty eight to zero combined, come on now. I hope 605 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 1: they got a nice paid day to be humiliated in 606 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 1: such battery. Nobody watched more tennis from the women's side 607 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 1: of the draw than Fritzie did at the US Open, 608 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 1: enthusiastically for the fantastics. Yeah, yeah, of course you didn't 609 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: watch the men, But boy did you watch the women's 610 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 1: side of the draw. Great interviews and class yes all 611 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 1: the way through. Teenagers to handle themselves like that. Very impressed. 612 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 1: Thank you, Todd mclovin. He still doesn't know you're making 613 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 1: fun now I know he does it. I play it along. 614 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 1: I know what you're doing. Yeah. My best is going 615 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 1: to be Elijah Mitchell Junior, the third rookie running back 616 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 1: San Francisco, proving anybody could run him. A Kyle Shannon 617 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 1: offense went for over a hundred yards. My worst is 618 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 1: going to be what everybody's talking about. Connor McGregor. Conor 619 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 1: McGregor tries to fight machine Gun Kelly at the VMA's 620 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 1: last night because machine Gun Kelly would not give him 621 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 1: an autograph. Apparently, I have no idea where this is going. 622 00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 1: I'm sensing some sort of Jake Paul Logan Paul fight, 623 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 1: but it was the big wait, wait, the machine gun Kelly. 624 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,479 Speaker 1: He's not fighting anybody. Well, Connor McGregor called him out, 625 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 1: said let's go, because I guess he asked machine gun Kelly, 626 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 1: who I think maybe his son is a fan of 627 00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 1: or something for an autograph. Machineo Gilly shot him down. 628 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 1: Connor McGregor threw a drink at him and went berserk. 629 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 1: Or perhaps the whole thing is set up. But something's 630 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 1: going on there. No, yeah, but no, no, machine Gun 631 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 1: Kelly weighs less than his girlfriend Megan Fox. I mean 632 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 1: how much you think Connor McGregor ways, Well, Connor McGregor 633 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 1: is a professional fighter. I mean machine gun Kelly. I 634 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 1: mean he built like a cornstalk. Yeah, se yeah, he's 635 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 1: he's like six four one twenty. He's as thin as 636 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 1: a rail. And then plus it's kind of hard to 637 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 1: be like, all right, you guys want to fistfight when 638 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 1: the machine gun Kelly's got like crystals glued all over 639 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 1: his face and wearing a stunning amount of makeup and 640 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 1: you're like, yeah, right, let's fight. Then I guess I 641 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 1: guess machine gun Kelly, who's an artist by he's a 642 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 1: musician in case you're not aware of machine gun Kelly, 643 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 1: and he goes out with the actress Megan Fox. But 644 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 1: I guess his security people were a little overly aggressive 645 00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,920 Speaker 1: with Connor McGregor. Connor McGregor's walking around the cane. He 646 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 1: just had surgery a month ago, and doesn't he goes 647 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 1: from zero to one hundred. Couldn't there be somewhere in 648 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 1: between where you just go, hey, we'd love to get 649 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,480 Speaker 1: a picture, and then the security guy pushes you and 650 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,280 Speaker 1: you're like, easy, I just want to get a picture 651 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 1: with him, not come on I'm gonna tell you apart 652 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 1: likes pretty good.

His immediate 654 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 1: reaction is to throw a drink. Yeah, wow, tough guy. 655 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 1: You threw a drink at a guy weighs one hundred 656 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 1: and twenty pounds and he's there with his girlfriend and 657 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 1: he's got glitter on. Wow. Wow, tough guy. Tough guy. Man, 658 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 1: I just get I get bored by Connor McGregor. Like 659 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 1: I I understood the whole you know, whatever that world 660 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 1: was when he was successful, and you know he hasn't 661 00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 1: been any good for a while. Ain't does stupid things? 662 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:08,960 Speaker 1: God do you haven't? Do you anything else you have? Okay, 663 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 1: Seaton O'Connor best and worst, my worst of the weekend. 664 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 1: Uh And this is just punishing. It was absolutely crushing. 665 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:21,880 Speaker 1: Was like watching my own son get benched brock Purty, 666 00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 1: Iowa State. That was just not that's your boy. That 667 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 1: was just not the day. That's your boy. Yeah, that 668 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,239 Speaker 1: was my guy. That was my guy. He still is, 669 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,400 Speaker 1: He still is my guy. But that was unfortunate for them. 670 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,240 Speaker 1: But mcan you he was your guy in twenty fifteen? 671 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,400 Speaker 1: How is he still playing college football? I know I 672 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,759 Speaker 1: did have to ask Seaton. I was like, is your 673 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 1: guy still playing at Iowa State? Yes, yes he is, Yeah, 674 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:46,399 Speaker 1: b October October, in September. See that's he's He's very 675 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,800 Speaker 1: much from the Bill Belichick school of thinking that this 676 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,279 Speaker 1: He uses September as like the preseason. Let's just see 677 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:53,920 Speaker 1: what we have here, and then he turns it on 678 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 1: in October um. And then while I'm on a rant 679 00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 1: about quarterbacks, the prolif ration of dual quarterbacks. Now where 680 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,319 Speaker 1: you're going with two all of a sudden, one guy's on, 681 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,080 Speaker 1: one guy's off, one guy's on, one guy's off, not on. 682 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 1: And it was already bad in college, but now it's 683 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 1: going to the NFL. What are we doing? Maybe I 684 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,360 Speaker 1: just believe too much in the like if you have 685 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:14,920 Speaker 1: if you don't have, what is it? If you have 686 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,440 Speaker 1: two too, you don't have one? What all of a 687 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,360 Speaker 1: sudden everybody's oh, Jacoby Brisetta, No, now it's two, and 688 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:22,719 Speaker 1: then it's this guy, and then it's that guy. What 689 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:26,400 Speaker 1: every game was like that? It's a situational football, I 690 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,759 Speaker 1: think is what that's called. Yes, Paul, best and worst 691 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:30,600 Speaker 1: of the weekend, this is kind of a best and worst. 692 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 1: My Toledo Rockets almost took down Notre Dame. They lost 693 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,799 Speaker 1: thirty through twenty nine, an unbelievably great loss. But they 694 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:38,359 Speaker 1: had him what about a minute and a half left, 695 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 1: They had a touchdown. The running back could have taken 696 00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,360 Speaker 1: a knee and kicked the field goal to win it. Unfortunately, 697 00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:45,840 Speaker 1: great game by Toledo thought and then player of the 698 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:49,600 Speaker 1: weekend punters don't get enough credit Tory Taylor, the Iowa punter. 699 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,920 Speaker 1: He had eight punts. He averaged fifty one yards a punt, 700 00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,919 Speaker 1: five of them are down inside the five, inside the five, 701 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,879 Speaker 1: five of them, and he also had a seventy yard 702 00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:02,040 Speaker 1: punt dominated Iowa state.

No, 722 00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,440 Speaker 1: it was great to see him in a different uniform, 723 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,959 Speaker 1: surrounded by a ton of talent, obviously a great coach 724 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,640 Speaker 1: on his sideline, and I think we'll continue to see 725 00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,839 Speaker 1: him flourish as the season moves forward and we see 726 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:19,920 Speaker 1: him to get more and more comfortable with those guys 727 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,879 Speaker 1: around him. But you also have a quarterback who didn't 728 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,120 Speaker 1: have talent in Detroit, Like, how much can we put 729 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,640 Speaker 1: on Matthew Stafford with the failures of the Lions, Because 730 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 1: we're going to get him a lot of credit with 731 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,759 Speaker 1: the rams because he has talent, but the quarterback gets 732 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:37,040 Speaker 1: too much credit and too much blame. True. But at 733 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:41,360 Speaker 1: the same time, I think the quarterback position is really 734 00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,960 Speaker 1: it's so important to have the right organization surrounding you. 735 00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,400 Speaker 1: There's been plenty of quarterbacks that have gone to the 736 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:53,600 Speaker 1: right place and had much better careers in the right place, 737 00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,880 Speaker 1: the right organization than them going to a bad organization 738 00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 1: like Detroit. I mean, Detroit's been struggling for a long time. 739 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 1: You know. We we've heard the stories, you know, inside 740 00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:05,520 Speaker 1: and out from back in the days um you know, 741 00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,160 Speaker 1: and Stafford was there for twelve years. He gave it 742 00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:12,080 Speaker 1: his best shot. He had some talent around him at times. 743 00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:15,520 Speaker 1: But you know, seeing him in LA with that kind 744 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,440 Speaker 1: of offense, that kind of um, that kind of system, 745 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:20,960 Speaker 1: and you know, there's a lot of talk about him 746 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,000 Speaker 1: not being able to play the game outside the pocket 747 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,040 Speaker 1: and do all the bootlegs and play action stuff that 748 00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,360 Speaker 1: they did. But man, he looked good last night getting 749 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,239 Speaker 1: outside the pocket and thrown thrown on the run. But 750 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 1: these rookie quarterbacks come in and they're ready to go um, 751 00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,239 Speaker 1: or at least we think they are. But but the 752 00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:40,160 Speaker 1: mental part of this though, Carson, I'm curious about because 753 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:44,200 Speaker 1: you sat your first year behind John Kittner, But like, physically, 754 00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,759 Speaker 1: were you more ready than mentally or maybe the other 755 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,719 Speaker 1: way around. Oh, these guys are coming into the league 756 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,319 Speaker 1: physically ready. I mean these these are you know, look 757 00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:59,800 Speaker 1: at Trey Lance in San Francisco. I mean physically gifted, quick, fast, explosive, arm, accurate. 758 00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:01,960 Speaker 1: But it just takes some time. I mean it just 759 00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:05,760 Speaker 1: takes that, you know, a couple of seasons and getting 760 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,920 Speaker 1: used to being on third down, third and long, backed 761 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,680 Speaker 1: up in your own territory in the red zone with 762 00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:13,880 Speaker 1: the game on the line. There's so many things that 763 00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,160 Speaker 1: you need as a quarterback to develop, and a majority 764 00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,399 Speaker 1: of those things you need outside of having a great 765 00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,799 Speaker 1: organization and a really good play caller, is experience. And 766 00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,960 Speaker 1: until these young guys have experience and a bunch of 767 00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 1: plays and a bunch of different situations under their belt, 768 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,680 Speaker 1: they're not completely mentally ready. But these guys are coming 769 00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,160 Speaker 1: in the league right now physically ready, without a doubt. 770 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:40,239 Speaker 1: How overwhelmed did you feel first year starting? Well, I 771 00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,080 Speaker 1: had that first year to sit and rest, so I 772 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,239 Speaker 1: didn't feel overwhelmed. But had I played and that that 773 00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:49,799 Speaker 1: Week one game my rookie year, you know, I absolutely 774 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:51,920 Speaker 1: would have felt overwhelmed. I mean, there's so much you 775 00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,279 Speaker 1: don't know about this game. And like I said, it 776 00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:59,520 Speaker 1: just takes reps and it takes experience. Yeah, I'm always 777 00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:02,279 Speaker 1: curious about that. Then you have a bad game and 778 00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,360 Speaker 1: then it stays with Like the pros are able, the 779 00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:07,480 Speaker 1: veterans can move on, like you have to have a 780 00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,160 Speaker 1: short memory, it feels like, but it feels like a 781 00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:14,440 Speaker 1: rookie is going to hold on to that bad interception 782 00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,799 Speaker 1: he had or a bad loss a little bit longer. Absolutely, 783 00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:21,279 Speaker 1: until you've proven yourself to your teammates that you can 784 00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,680 Speaker 1: get over a bad loss, a bad play that lost 785 00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,760 Speaker 1: a game. Until you can prove that to your teammates 786 00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,600 Speaker 1: and yourself, you don't know. I mean, if you can 787 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,719 Speaker 1: go to college like Kyler Murray did at Oklahoma in 788 00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,319 Speaker 1: one year, go out there and play amazing and win 789 00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:39,600 Speaker 1: a Heisman Trophy and almost a national championship, But until 790 00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:42,200 Speaker 1: you do it at the NFL level, until you prove 791 00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,839 Speaker 1: it to yourself, Hey, I can go out in Week 792 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,560 Speaker 1: one and lay an egg, and I can bounce back 793 00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,080 Speaker 1: in Week two and have one hundred and ten passer rating. 794 00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,799 Speaker 1: You don't know you can do it until you do it. 795 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,279 Speaker 1: And you're seeing some of these young guys struggle. I mean, 796 00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 1: you watch Trevor Lawrence play yesterday and it was a struggle. 797 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,000 Speaker 1: But that kid and has the right mentality, the right makeup. 798 00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,520 Speaker 1: I expect him to bounce back. It might not be 799 00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:06,839 Speaker 1: in week two, it might not be in week three, 800 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,600 Speaker 1: but I would pretty much take any bet right now 801 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,680 Speaker 1: saying that Trevor Lawrence is not going to be a bust. 802 00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,040 Speaker 1: He will be a successful NFL quarterback. How do you 803 00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:20,560 Speaker 1: explain Aaron Rodgers yesterday? Man? This position, even when you're 804 00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:24,799 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, the position of quarterback is so difficult when 805 00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:29,400 Speaker 1: you put extra pressure on yourself. I Aaron has asked 806 00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:32,719 Speaker 1: for all the pressure, all the criticism you could possibly 807 00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:36,239 Speaker 1: ever ask for, and it is so difficult. Even when 808 00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,520 Speaker 1: you're as talented and gifted as Aaron. There's a lot 809 00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:41,759 Speaker 1: of pressure on him to succeed. There's a lot of 810 00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:45,320 Speaker 1: pressure on him to perform. It just goes to show 811 00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:47,799 Speaker 1: you that even Aaron Rodgers can get rated. He looked 812 00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:49,799 Speaker 1: rattled from the jump. I mean, he looked like he 813 00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,760 Speaker 1: was uncomfortable. He couldn't settle in and find his feet. 814 00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:55,799 Speaker 1: He was harassed all day in the pocket, and that 815 00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:58,120 Speaker 1: might be a little bit of this offseason catching up 816 00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:00,200 Speaker 1: to him. There's no doubt in my mind Aaron will 817 00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,960 Speaker 1: bounce back and have a Pro Bowl tight caliber year, 818 00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:06,160 Speaker 1: no doubt about it. But he looked extremely rattled yesterday. 819 00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:10,080 Speaker 1: How do you explain Patrick Mahomes to those who might 820 00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:14,680 Speaker 1: not have witnessed Patrick Mahomes. He's magic. There's a couple 821 00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:18,680 Speaker 1: of guys in the league. They are just magicians. Russell 822 00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,040 Speaker 1: Wilson jumps out of you, jumps out at the top 823 00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,759 Speaker 1: of my mind. He just does things that you don't 824 00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,799 Speaker 1: expect him to be able to do. Patrick Mahomes, as 825 00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:28,960 Speaker 1: much as we think he's great and he's got this 826 00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:32,480 Speaker 1: big arm and he's Houdini, he just makes some plays 827 00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:36,200 Speaker 1: that we didn't even think he could make. But there's 828 00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,440 Speaker 1: just a handful of guys in this league right now 829 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,879 Speaker 1: that have magic about him, and he's one of them. 830 00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:44,160 Speaker 1: Talking to Carson Palmer, former NFL quarterback and of course 831 00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:50,279 Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy winner, are gloves performance enhancing Absolutely not for 832 00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:56,719 Speaker 1: a wide receiver. No, I mean, they're you know, when 833 00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 1: I think of performance enhancing, I think like everybody else, 834 00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:04,200 Speaker 1: you think of something you're injecting or ingesting in some 835 00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:08,640 Speaker 1: form or another. But if putting on gloves is performance enhancing, 836 00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:11,920 Speaker 1: then sower shoulder pads and helmets, well, but it helps 837 00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:16,480 Speaker 1: you catch the ball, yeah, And a pair of shoulder 838 00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:19,480 Speaker 1: pads help you tackle somebody. Yeah. But but a previous 839 00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:24,239 Speaker 1: generation didn't have this. Well, the previous generation didn't have 840 00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:26,680 Speaker 1: the technology and their helmets and their shoulder pads that 841 00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:29,879 Speaker 1: we have to today. How much does that help having 842 00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,600 Speaker 1: that technology in your helmet, when you have somebody who 843 00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:36,560 Speaker 1: can calm you down, whisper to you while you're getting 844 00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:38,319 Speaker 1: ready to call your play or getting up to the 845 00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,160 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, Well, you don't have that much time 846 00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:44,760 Speaker 1: to have a shrink jump on your headset and calm 847 00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:46,880 Speaker 1: you down. And time you only got twenty five seconds. 848 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:48,279 Speaker 1: You got to get the play in, you got to 849 00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,680 Speaker 1: relay the play and then get the snap off. But 850 00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,360 Speaker 1: you know, I do think you know that technology is 851 00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:56,920 Speaker 1: great because, especially as I got older in the league, 852 00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:58,640 Speaker 1: I was way too fat and out of shape to 853 00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:00,959 Speaker 1: run from the huddle of the side line and back 854 00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,120 Speaker 1: and forth in between every play getting the play, so 855 00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,520 Speaker 1: I needed that break to stand on the huddle and 856 00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:07,360 Speaker 1: hear it through my headset. Do you need to be 857 00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:12,160 Speaker 1: in shape to be a quarterback? Absolutely? Absolutely? Unlike pictures, 858 00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:14,520 Speaker 1: I've always heard people say that pitchers have to be 859 00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,319 Speaker 1: in great, great shape to be a pitcher. I think 860 00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:19,720 Speaker 1: you got to be even better shape to play quarterback 861 00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:24,200 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Did you not lift? Did you not run? Like? 862 00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:28,200 Speaker 1: What happened? That you got fat? I got old. I 863 00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:30,480 Speaker 1: shouldn't have said fat. I just got old, and I 864 00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:34,400 Speaker 1: got tired, and all those hits start adding up. Having 865 00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:36,719 Speaker 1: to go back and forth and shuttle plays in and out. 866 00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,600 Speaker 1: When I was twenty twenty two twenty three would have 867 00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:41,640 Speaker 1: been a lot easier than when I was thirty eight. 868 00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:43,719 Speaker 1: So thankfully, when I was in my late thirties, I 869 00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:45,640 Speaker 1: had the headset on do you ever call a time 870 00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:49,399 Speaker 1: out because you're too tired? Absolutely? I Actually I got 871 00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:51,759 Speaker 1: to the bottom of I got to the bottom of 872 00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:55,520 Speaker 1: a scrum and it was a fumbled snap, and I 873 00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,600 Speaker 1: had gotten back down on top of it. Everybody was 874 00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:00,239 Speaker 1: laying on top of me, and I was playing for 875 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,480 Speaker 1: Bruce Arians in Arizona, and I was holding onto the 876 00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:05,800 Speaker 1: ball so tightly and somebody from the opposing team was 877 00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:07,840 Speaker 1: trying to rip it out of my hands that my 878 00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,160 Speaker 1: hand went numb, and I was worried that the next 879 00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:11,839 Speaker 1: player was going to be a pass. I'm sure enough 880 00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:15,200 Speaker 1: Bruce called a pass, and the feeling hadn't come back 881 00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:17,400 Speaker 1: in my hands yet. Because it was so fatigued for 882 00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:20,600 Speaker 1: holding onto a ball and trying to maintain possession at 883 00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:21,920 Speaker 1: the bottom of the pile, I had to call a 884 00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:26,360 Speaker 1: time out. What's it like having Arians talk to you? 885 00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,520 Speaker 1: It's great. I mean, you look at Tampa Bay play 886 00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:33,640 Speaker 1: now and Brady doesn't have to deal with Arians. And 887 00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:37,200 Speaker 1: in the huddle and over the headset he's got Byron Left, 888 00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:41,480 Speaker 1: which the offensive coordinator calling the plays, Arians is mfing 889 00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:45,319 Speaker 1: you while he's your offensive game out all game long, 890 00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:49,400 Speaker 1: me or the ref or somebody on the opposing team. 891 00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:51,960 Speaker 1: You know, he would hit that button on his recorder 892 00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:54,799 Speaker 1: and half of what he said was the play. The 893 00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,560 Speaker 1: other half was him mf and the ref or maybe 894 00:45:57,640 --> 00:45:59,759 Speaker 1: me from the previous play or somebody on the other 895 00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,480 Speaker 1: side sideline. But now that now that you know, he 896 00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:05,080 Speaker 1: can just you know, coach the game and handle everything. 897 00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:08,000 Speaker 1: From the forty thousand foot level and Byron left, which 898 00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:10,800 Speaker 1: is calling plays. He seems like his his blood pressures 899 00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:13,359 Speaker 1: drop and he just seems like he's in a happier place. 900 00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:17,839 Speaker 1: But how does that? I mean, Brady wanted to play 901 00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:22,160 Speaker 1: with Bruce Arians. Did you understand why he would? I mean, 902 00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:25,839 Speaker 1: any any pocket passer would absolutely love that system. There's 903 00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:28,359 Speaker 1: a ton you watch Brady play there the night on Thursday, 904 00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:31,000 Speaker 1: they're in empty it seems like a quarter of the game, 905 00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:34,040 Speaker 1: they're just spreading people out. They're getting their best receivers 906 00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:36,239 Speaker 1: on the field, and they're letting Tom Brady do what 907 00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:38,759 Speaker 1: he does best, which is take his time and take 908 00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:41,560 Speaker 1: his take his check downs, you know, take the completions 909 00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:44,120 Speaker 1: and throw the big plays when they show up. But 910 00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:48,919 Speaker 1: what's he do better than you? Brady? Yeah? Everything, No, 911 00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:52,319 Speaker 1: he doesn't do everything better than you. He does he 912 00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:56,400 Speaker 1: does uh. September thirteenth, twenty twenty one. But you know, 913 00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:59,719 Speaker 1: I think the one thing you watch that that last 914 00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,360 Speaker 1: they had where they went down the field, and the 915 00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:05,319 Speaker 1: one thing Brady does in two minute drills is he 916 00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:08,719 Speaker 1: knows defenses are scared of them, and he takes and 917 00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:12,160 Speaker 1: lets the defense get a ton of depths and create cushion. 918 00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:14,279 Speaker 1: I mean, you watch that last drive where they went 919 00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:15,799 Speaker 1: down and kicked the field goal. He didn't throw a 920 00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:18,240 Speaker 1: ball over ten yards. He just was dinking and dunking 921 00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:21,440 Speaker 1: it and the defense was back pedaling and getting depth 922 00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:24,279 Speaker 1: and giving them cushion, and he was just throwing the 923 00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:25,960 Speaker 1: ball to the running backs and the tight ends and 924 00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:28,120 Speaker 1: they would step out of bounds after an eight yard game. 925 00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:30,719 Speaker 1: And it's the same thing we've we've seen Brady do 926 00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:33,879 Speaker 1: in New England for years. He doesn't get rattled, he 927 00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:36,719 Speaker 1: doesn't take chances and try to force the ball downfield. 928 00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,239 Speaker 1: He takes what the defense gives him, and they end 929 00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:42,600 Speaker 1: up with, you know, seemingly easy drive at the end 930 00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:45,560 Speaker 1: of the game for a field goal to Win's Brady 931 00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:49,479 Speaker 1: went four years older than you. Brady is three years 932 00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:55,920 Speaker 1: older than That blows my mind saying that it's crazy. 933 00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:58,560 Speaker 1: How long would it take for you to get ready 934 00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:01,600 Speaker 1: to play in a game? Oh, I mean I could 935 00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:03,520 Speaker 1: walk out and play in a game, but just as 936 00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:05,600 Speaker 1: quickly as I walked in, I'd be walking off the 937 00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:10,960 Speaker 1: field with a handstream, shoulder or something. I'm in no 938 00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:13,760 Speaker 1: form to play right now. Who was the toughest quarterback 939 00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:18,920 Speaker 1: you faced. Well. I never beat Brady. I was up. 940 00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:22,680 Speaker 1: I played against Brady a bunch. I was up twenty 941 00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:26,879 Speaker 1: one nothing in the first half in New England, and 942 00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:30,279 Speaker 1: Richard Seymour took a low shot on me and blew 943 00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:32,759 Speaker 1: my almost blew my knee out. And I didn't end 944 00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:35,120 Speaker 1: up finishing the game, but we were up twenty one nothing. 945 00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:38,479 Speaker 1: So I beat Brady for a half. That's my best game. 946 00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:40,520 Speaker 1: I beat Brady for a half of the game. But 947 00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:43,399 Speaker 1: do you say this to your kids? I do, say, 948 00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:46,400 Speaker 1: you know, dad, but Dad owned Brady for one half. 949 00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:50,720 Speaker 1: I was driving home. I was I coached my kids 950 00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:53,080 Speaker 1: seventh grade football team, and I was driving home. Half 951 00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:54,640 Speaker 1: the kids that live up by us, and I was 952 00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:58,040 Speaker 1: dropping them off, and we're driving along, and one of 953 00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:01,879 Speaker 1: the kids in the backseat told me that his second uncle, 954 00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:03,759 Speaker 1: which I don't even know what a second uncle is, 955 00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:07,080 Speaker 1: his second uncle tackled Tom Brady in college one time. 956 00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:10,160 Speaker 1: And it really just it really just made me how much, 957 00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:12,280 Speaker 1: you know, It made me realize how little these kids 958 00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:15,400 Speaker 1: think of me. I'm their coach, less played in the NFL. 959 00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:19,360 Speaker 1: They're all out there in Russell Wilson jerseys and Scattle 960 00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:21,560 Speaker 1: Seahawks gear, and they talk about Brady all the time. 961 00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:23,719 Speaker 1: It drives me nuts. They do know you played in 962 00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:27,040 Speaker 1: the NFL for fifteen years. Yeah, but it's just like 963 00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:29,279 Speaker 1: it was just such a blip on their radar. They 964 00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:32,120 Speaker 1: couldn't wait to talk about Russell Wilson and letting Russ 965 00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:34,799 Speaker 1: Cood and Tom Brady. I don't even think they really 966 00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:40,239 Speaker 1: realized there registered to him. How's your USC Trojans. That 967 00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:43,839 Speaker 1: was a tough one. That was a tough one. You know, 968 00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:47,040 Speaker 1: it's it's to see the stadium half full, to see it, 969 00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:50,360 Speaker 1: you know, us being seventeen point favorites and really get blood. 970 00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:53,520 Speaker 1: I mean, it really wasn't a close game. We were 971 00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,960 Speaker 1: totally I mean there were so many penalties and so 972 00:49:57,480 --> 00:50:01,480 Speaker 1: such a lack of discipline. It's really really frustrating to 973 00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:04,000 Speaker 1: watch those guys play this last weekend. But the good 974 00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:05,560 Speaker 1: thing is this week two, we've got a lot of 975 00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:09,120 Speaker 1: football out. Did you lost to Stanford on the last 976 00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:13,319 Speaker 1: second play? Didn't you? That was a long time ago, Dan, 977 00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:16,440 Speaker 1: I'm sure, oh I did. That's right. I lost to 978 00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:20,000 Speaker 1: Chris Lewis. They threw a smash concept and they hit 979 00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:21,520 Speaker 1: the corner at the end of the game for a 980 00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:26,319 Speaker 1: touchdown the last second. That's right, good memory. Yeah, I'm 981 00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:28,880 Speaker 1: trying to bring up positives here. I'm sorry it feels 982 00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:31,800 Speaker 1: like i'm bringing up negatives. But you own Tom Brady 983 00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:35,600 Speaker 1: for one half twenty one nothing.
