WEBVTT - 12/07/21 DPs Best Of 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:03.520 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:07.200 Sports Radio. Chris Sims Pro Football Talk Live co host 0:00:07.320 --> 0:00:10.160 and of course, an analyst on Football Night in America. 0:00:10.400 --> 0:00:13.560 Chris Joyness on the program, if Tom Brady was still 0:00:13.600 --> 0:00:17.200 the quarterback of the Patriots, what kind of offensive game 0:00:17.239 --> 0:00:21.479 plan would the Patriots have had last night? Oh, I 0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:24.320 don't think it would have been well, but a little 0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:26.079 bit different. I don't think they're gonna throw the ball 0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:27.840 three times. I think they're gonna throw the ball more 0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:30.040 than that. You know, first off, of course, he's you know, 0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:32.880 played more football. You can trust them in the situation 0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:37.040 a little bit more. And you know, listen, one of 0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:38.960 the things that's amazing about the game is we know 0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:42.239 the elements were bad and one team won with three throws. 0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:45.360 To me, the other amazing thing about the game was 0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:48.280 a quarterback in Josh Allen where they just said, well, 0:00:48.440 --> 0:00:51.280 throw it thirty times, who cares, it's hurricane wins. You 0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:53.320 could throw it through it and he did. I mean 0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:55.840 that's the amazing thing. And I think Brady would be 0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:59.120 somewhere along those lines. Not that New England would have 0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:01.400 to rely on the hass the way the Bills do, 0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:05.240 but I think Brady's arm. You know how big his 0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:08.120 hands are, his arm is one of the more underrated 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:10.480 things I think in the history of the NFL, where 0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:13.600 sometimes yeah, I think he's a little overrated in his goatness. 0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:16.679 I don't think he gets enough credit for how powerful 0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:18.880 his arm is and how many great games he had 0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:21.240 and tough with her weather up in New England. So 0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:24.280 let's say he gets fifteen to twenty throws last night 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:26.520 instead of just three if he's in New England. When 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:30.480 is the game plan finalized, when you know what the 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:34.440 weather condition. When do you think Belichick or Josh McDaniels went, Okay, 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:37.800 this is what our philosophy is tonight. I think that 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:42.000 they probably started to really take into account, you know, 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:45.319 Wednesday or Thursday at some point to realize, hey, let's 0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:47.640 let's have a few extra runs in the game plan. 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:50.680 Let's start to formulate a little bit if the weather 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:55.720 is so bad that they had at least a de 0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:59.240 facto plan early in the week to go, we got 0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:01.600 to think about the game might be, you know, not 0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:03.720 manageable through the pass game, so we got to think 0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:06.160 about ways to do that. And they're like, again, having 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:09.120 worked there, I mean, there's just no stone unturned. It's 0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:13.240 just it's at any point the details, the smallest details, 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:17.360 the most basic details, they're they're just constantly stressed, day 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:19.720 after day after day. And I would think early in 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:21.440 the week they were on this that there would be 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:23.280 a factor that they had to have at least some 0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:25.120 sort of a plan to attack that. I know we 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:28.000 want to give Bill Belichick credit, and he deserves a 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:31.200 lot of credit as maybe the greatest coach in NFL history, 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:35.520 But what role does Josh McDaniels, offensive coordinator play in 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:38.919 saying this is what I would like us to if 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:42.240 Belichick deals with the defense and let Josh deal with 0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:47.600 the offense, should we be crediting Josh McDaniels not Bill Belichick. Well, 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:50.240 we should give Josh a lot of credit, there's no doubt, 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:53.200 but I think ultimately it still goes back to Bill Belichick. 0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:56.560 This is why Belichick's the greatest coach ever. Not only 0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:59.200 is it about, yes, the defense, and we know all that, 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:03.640 but you know these long staff meetings he has, you know, 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:07.560 every day after practice, where it's it's coached the coaches, 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:10.240 all of them, doesn't matter what side of the ball 0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:13.200 it is, it's coached. The coach's time, we're gonna go 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:15.600 over it, and now I'm going to coach you on 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:17.680 how to coach each one of these positions and what 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:19.880 we should do in each situation. And you know, and 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:23.280 again even in my time there, Dan McDaniels as smart 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:28.440 as anybody I've been around. Just Tuesday, you know, I 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:31.760 could be there running around making copies for things. Belichick 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:34.239 and McDaniels could be in the corner of the hallway talking. 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:36.880 I'd come back an hour later, they're still in the 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:40.120 corner of the hallway talking. So I don't think anything 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:44.280 happens there without Belichick. And even with the great offensive 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:47.920 McDaniels and everything, it's built through Bill Belichick. To your 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:50.640 point of why he's so great, you know, everything they 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:53.760 do on offense, a lot of it is wait, when 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:56.600 teams get in this formation and I'm in this defense, 0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:59.240 I don't like to see this. And then it's like 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:01.600 McDaniel's going, okay, wait, Belichick doesn't like to see this, 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:03.320 Let me draw up the play to do that then, 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:06.480 And that's how really the offense has been formulated there 0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:10.120 in New England to even accentuate you know, Belichick's greatness, 0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:13.880 what would we be saying if the Patriots had the 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:18.320 philosophy of three pounces and they lost last night, we 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:22.520 would have been going, I mean, three passes. I mean, 0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:26.080 I understand being I mean, they didn't blow them out, Chris, 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:28.840 I know, I know, I think we'd all be going, 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:30.880 I mean, at least let's get to eight or ten, 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:33.880 like I mean, I think and and I mean I 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:36.080 think to what you're asking. Listen, there was a point 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:37.520 in the second half where I was going, I mean, 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:40.440 come on, can we just give one play action or 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.640 one boot here, just to keep them a little honest. 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:45.960 But he didn't want to take the chance. He didn't 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:47.480 want to take the chance out of them being in 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:50.799 second and seven and third and four and their ability 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:52.680 to maybe even run the ball. Of course, they ran 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:55.240 in a ton on third down. But yeah, I think 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:58.000 we would probably be, you know, dissecting him a little 0:04:58.000 --> 0:04:59.320 bit in the fact that we'd like to see a 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:03.120 few more pass more likely to miss the playoffs, the 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:06.560 Bills or the Browns. I'm gonna still go with the 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:09.520 Browns on that one. You know, I'm hopeful for the 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:12.599 Browns because there's so much talent on the team, But 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:16.080 I'm hopeful only because of that. Like the defense is 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:19.040 all over the place. You've heard me say Dan before. 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:21.440 You know, when the run game isn't good. The past 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:23.880 game in Cleveland just not good enough to stand alone. 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:28.320 So that's an issue for me. Buffalo again, it's still 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:31.800 Josh Allen. He's a superstar, definitely one of the best 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:35.159 quarterbacks in the football. That defense is still very good. 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:39.720 I still have more faith in them. Host one last night, 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:43.680 Josh Allen's wearing longer spikes against the Tennessee Titans. They 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:45.640 probably win that game when they're down there running the 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:48.240 quarterback sneak and he slips late in the fourth quarter. 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:51.040 You know, I think it's been more consistent in Buffalo 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.240 throughout the year than Cleveland, that's for sure. And Buffalo 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:55.680 has been losing to all the teams that they're gonna 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:58.080 have to compete with if they get to the playoffs, 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:01.160 Like they don't have like what's the signature win here? 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:04.200 And I just don't get a good feeling. I didn't 0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:06.039 have a good feeling to start the year and thought 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:09.120 they relied on Josh Allen too much, Right, that's right, 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:12.880 But I know and I wonder if Cleveland would have 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:15.960 been better if they had gone to case Keenum and 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:21.240 instead of letting Baker Mayfield go out there injured. Yeah, 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:24.599 I get that, you know, you know, hey, Baker does 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:26.960 bring value, There's no doubt. And that's where the coaches 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:28.880 got to figure out, like at what point is he 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:31.880 hurting the offense? You know, So that's a real thing. 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:34.680 And it's again the games haven't been good. But I 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:37.480 also could sit there, Dad and you know, look at 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:40.960 it and go, yeah, Baker the Detroit Lion game, for sure, 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:43.599 missing throws on that one, but some of these other 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:45.320 games as a late too, I want to just I 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:47.400 watch some plays and go where do you want him 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:50.400 to throw the ball? Where the New England game, I mean, 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:53.760 there's nobody open. Baltimore game. I didn't sit come away 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:56.119 watching that film, going, oh man, people are open. Baker 0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:58.440 really messed up, not at all. And that's where they're 0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:01.240 a little underwhelming. And you're about I think Buffalo is 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:03.320 spot on two. You know, if you're not, if you're 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:05.880 staying the same, you're getting worse. It's like they kind 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:08.360 of just went, wait, we were good last year, we'll 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:10.040 do it all again this year. No, you need to 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:12.600 improve your football team a little bit. And it is 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:16.320 to Josh Allen reliant to your point. And I think 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:18.600 the other thing, too, is what we've seen, like especially 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:23.080 in the Tennessee the Colts and the Patriots losses, when 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:28.680 there's an overpowering, big offensive line running football team, they're 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:31.520 a little compromised. They're not a big front seven team. 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:35.360 They want to play basically nickel all game long. And 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:37.880 you know, again, if they can get you to overplay 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:39.880 the run the way they did in all those games, 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:42.360 if you can just pass a little, you can expose them. 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:43.800 And of course last night they didn't even have to 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:46.440 pass to still have their way. He's Chris Simms Pro 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:49.440 Football Talk Live co host they show that precedes Ours 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:52.000 on Peacock with Mike Florio. If I said you can 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:55.560 have the Chiefs of the Patriots the rest of the year, Chiefs, 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:59.080 I mean now, I'm sorry Patriots, Patriots. Yeah, I'm sorry. 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:01.520 I'm not taking the Chiefs yet. I can't do that yet. No, 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:05.040 you know again, I like what the Chiefs defense is doing. 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:08.320 You know, I know the Patriots is not sexy, but 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:11.560 neither was two thousand and one Super Bowl run. I 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:15.360 mean just get used to twenty to seventeen, twenty three 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:18.720 to fourteen. I just think that's the style of play 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:20.840 they are. But they're too consistent on both sides of 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:22.840 the ball, you know. Again the other night with the 0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:26.800 Chiefs offense, they just can't seem to be consistent or 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:29.520 get out of their own way, whether it's drop passes, 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:34.000 Mahomes still missing throws where I'd go, Man, the average 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:36.920 NFL quarterback should make that throw, let alone Patrick Mahomes. 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:38.760 All these years, I see him do it with his 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:41.120 eyes closed, you know. So it's just a it's a 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:44.000 crazy year from that standpoint of I haven't seen a 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:47.240 guy that was so amazing, you know, kind of come 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:49.599 back to earth and just not be that amazing in 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:52.400 a lot of moments during during the year, we're running 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:57.440 out of MVP candidates. Feels like it's Tom Brady. Then 0:08:57.480 --> 0:09:03.120 there's a big separation Aaron Rodgers. I guess Mahomes is 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:06.599 in there. I can't put johnsh Allen in there. No, 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:08.680 you can't. I don't think you could put Mahomes in 0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:10.679 there either, right, you know you can't. I don't think 0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:13.480 you can, and we all want to. The touchdowns are 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:18.600 gonna be there, Jonathan, right. I mean, hey, that's one 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:20.680 guy I'll look at for sure. I think that could 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:23.520 be in this conversation. Maybe if t J. Watt gets 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:25.400 on fire here the last few weeks and gets the 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:28.200 twenty two sacks somewhere in that range. But again, I 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:31.280 don't know. Get the playoffs, they give it to the 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:33.679 defensive player of the year. I mean, that's now they 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:37.320 know they separate that. But it feels like Brady is 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:41.280 just being Brady. Maybe nothing special, but that might be 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:45.240 good enough because everybody else has been inconsistent, no doubt. 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:48.040 I think, you know, really Kyler Murray being out for 0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:51.000 a month, is it's gonna cost him the MVP because 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:53.319 I think there's a good chance they do end up 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:56.880 with the top seed in the NFC playoffs, and he'd 0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:59.360 be that guy like they jumped on the scene this year. 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:02.200 He's the order back. We know how dangerous he was, 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:05.320 so his injury affected that. I would I'm with you 0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:07.440 and the fact that, yeah, it's probably Brady from the 0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:13.600 facts of wins and stats, you know, But I guess 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:15.439 what I would say a little bit is the name 0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:20.079 you brought up to me, Aaron Rodgers right now again, 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:23.120 as annoying as he was during the COVID thing. He 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:26.280 you know, it is just a poster child for MVP. 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:28.679 We see how average they are without him when he 0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:32.200 wasn't in there. You know, he's special. Again, I don't 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:34.560 think any of us think that the supporting cast is 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:38.560 that great. It's good, no doubt, but not great. You 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:41.720 and to me, he is just a big what he 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:44.160 does with the line of scrimmage, having a feel for 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:46.720 the overall game. You know, I would look at him 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:49.320 and Brady and probably Jonathan Taylor's the three guys right now. 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:52.560 I think it's gonna hurt Rogers with what happened. Yeah, 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:56.280 you're right, Yeah, and it should because you know you're 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:59.760 gonna be the most valuable player, but then you missed 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:02.680 the Kansas City game or maybe cost your team the 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:05.480 number one seed, right, I agree, that's gonna come back 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:07.680 to bite him in the butt most likely. But yeah, 0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:10.520 the way the Brady is throwing the ball, their offense 0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:13.280 just continues to attack. It seems like it going again. 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:15.000 They're gonna get the wins, and he's gonna have the 0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:17.520 numbers to match it. It seems like it's lining up 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:21.120 for that. What's your opinion on the pseudos slide by 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:26.360 Kenny Picket at the Pittsburgh Quarterbacks in the ACC title game. Ah, 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:30.040 it makes me want to puke. I'm sick of it. 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:33.600 I'm sick of all this protecting the quarterback crap. I mean, 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:37.280 that's like cheating right there. It's cheating. It really is. 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:39.800 I you know, again, I'm not mad at him. He's 0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:42.520 don't hate the player, hate the game. I understand that. 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:45.040 But to me, this is again, this is another just 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:48.599 little snippet of information that we have to protecting the 0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:53.520 quarterback has gone. Were just overboard, overboard some of the 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:56.400 horrible calls in the NFL. The horrible call last night. 0:11:56.480 --> 0:12:00.200 Josh Allen is running, he jumps in bounds and gets hit, 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:03.719 and they called hitting the quarterback too hard. Again, I 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:06.520 didn't like it, I really don't. And I think that 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:08.800 football has got to do something about it. Wait, do 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:14.280 you think quarterbacks are embarrassed by the protection they receive? Like? 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:17.840 I think they know how embarrassing it is, but they're 0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:20.520 gonna try to do all they can to take advantage 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:23.040 of it. I think they know. I mean, you know, 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:26.760 I think Brady and Rogers and Josh Allen like they're tough, 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:30.680 football minded guys, not just quarterbacks. But I think they 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:35.600 also they realize, Yeah, I mean that's bad. Football's getting rewarded. Hey, 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:38.320 we didn't protect nobody was open, but you hit me 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:41.560 too hard. It's great first down Fantasy owners were still 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:45.160 going offense is good. I think they know's how embarrassing is. 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:46.920 But they're gonna do their best to get a free 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:49.040 fifteen all they can and I can't be mad at 0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:51.800 them for that. Brady would not still be playing if 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:55.920 this was the nineteen seventies, no way, or the eighty 0:12:55.720 --> 0:13:00.360 or again. Yeah right, he wouldn't you know, I would 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:02.840 have a hard time thinking. So, I mean just watching 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:07.680 you know, my dad, Dan Marino, John Elway, Troy Aikman. 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:10.560 I mean the beating they took. I mean, you know 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:13.320 the deadweight rule. I mean Reggie White literally used to 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:16.320 pick my dad up and just drop his weight on 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:19.360 him and body slam him. And you know, my dad's 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:21.400 shoulders are still paying the price for that. I mean, 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:23.880 he would have a little more cartilage, might be able 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:26.000 to throw the ball overhand to his grandkids, but he 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:30.240 can't do that. A wow, Yes, yes, there's an issue there. Yeah, 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:33.920 does Tampa have any issues that concern you heading into 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:37.199 the home stretch A little bit? A little they do. 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:39.960 You know, there hasn't been cleaned the last two weeks. 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:42.000 I mean, they were begging for the Colts to beat them. 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:46.120 The Colts outplayed them again last week. Atlanta hung around, 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:50.439 had some long drives. Defensively not playing that good right now. 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:52.679 It's one of the first films I'm gonna go watch here, 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:55.720 Dan when I get done, just because, hey, Matt Ryan 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:58.880 and company had a little success running the football. But man, 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:01.080 you know they're letting up a lot of plays in 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:03.240 the past game. They are, and I know they're just 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:06.200 getting healthy in the secondary, but you know, not playing 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:09.160 at the elite level that I think they're capable of. 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:11.640 That's for sure. You know they're winning games, I know that, 0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:13.880 but I don't think it's their best football. Great to 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:16.680 talk to you, buddy, Thank you, Chris, Thanks Matt be good. 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:19.120 Thanks for listening to The Dan Patrick Show podcast.

We've got 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:42.880 a controversy going on. It's a continuation of a controversy 0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:46.120 yesterday late in the show where we found out from 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:49.760 Carson Palmer he got the case that is supposed to 0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:52.560 have the Heisman Trophy in it for his induction into 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:55.200 the College Football Hall of Fame last night in Las Vegas. 0:14:55.760 --> 0:15:00.200 But the key to opening this very secure case is 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:03.680 not there with it. I don't know if the Heisman 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:07.760 is in there. I'm hoping it is, but we can't 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:11.640 find the key. The key has been lost, and I 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:14.080 don't know if this is some sort of bait and 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:17.280 switch Indiana Jones, where somebody might have put a forty 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:19.720 pounds sack of sand in there, and maybe they have 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:23.120 the Heisman trophy on their mantel. I don't know. I 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:25.680 just know I went in the back in the back 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:29.560 room guys. As quoting one of the back room guys, 0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:32.800 I will blow the damn lid off this. If I 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:39.160 get immunity, you can grant that. I can grant immunity. 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:44.760 All I know is Dylan in the back is pointing 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:49.080 a finger at Mario and says, I will blow I 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:52.440 will blow this out of the water if I'm granted immunity. 0:15:52.520 --> 0:16:00.520 And I am going to grant Dylan immunity here. Might 0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:03.080 have to put him on the air here. But like 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:06.640 the Sammy the Bull of the back room, Well, it 0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:09.240 didn't take long before they started to turn on one another. 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:12.960 Henry Hill like Henry Hill. Yes, yes, but it was. 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:15.200 There was some finger pointing as I walked back and 0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:18.240 the big german is just there listening, and I went, 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:21.480 oh wow. And then that's when I got the bombshell. 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:23.640 You give me immunity and I'll blow this damn thing 0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:26.040 out of the water. Yes time. So Marrio already has 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:28.240 that ill devised basketball shot that will never let him 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:29.840 live down. And we're gonna put this on top of 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:32.520 him too. As to what this whole Carson Palmer Heisman 0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:35.200 situation is, well, that's a lot to handle. It feels 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:38.040 like you're shifting blame there. Do you like the fact 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:39.920 that it's been narrowed down to just Dylan and Mario 0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:44.840 as the culprits? Okay, but you were the overseer. I 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:47.680 guess I was the delegator for the delegator slash over here, 0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:51.160 Sean Payton got suspended for a year. That's true. That's 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:54.000 very true. Okay, and look, I will take it upon 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:57.960 myself that I let you be involved in it. Therefore 0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:01.320 I let Dylan and Mario, so it is on me. Yes, 0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:05.240 it is a Dan Patrick show. I do take full responsibility. 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:09.280 I chose the wrong people to trust you did. Yes, 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:11.200 that was poor job by you. Yes, I thought we 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:14.359 could handle that. I just while we're firing off blame everywhere, 0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:15.919 I just do want to say that it was you 0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:19.960 who put it in the box. Correct. No, oh, I 0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:22.240 thought that was the did the update from yesterday, You 0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:26.439 were the one who actually placed there. I watched it close. 0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:30.000 I didn't put it in. I don't pick up something 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:32.640 that heavy. I mean, I lift this show every day, 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:35.919 but I'm not. I'm not. I have people who carry 0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:42.120 around my trophies. I watched said heisman be put into 0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:46.119 the suitcase. I did not, yes, permission to badge your 0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:48.720 the witness. So you did have the opportunity to say, 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:51.000 how exactly are you planning on putting the key in 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:53.600 with this mail it out so that everything runs smoothly 0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:55.560 on there and when they get no, because I didn't 0:17:55.600 --> 0:18:00.520 know how said key arrived with said heisman to begin with. Odd, 0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:03.040 But why shouldn't matter how it came if you think 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:06.440 there's a certain specific way that I should go back. Okay, 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:10.440 why would I think somebody shipping it out is going 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:14.040 to slap a key on an envelope on a suitcase 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:16.560 and it's got the heisman in there. You just said 0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:18.240 moments ago you should have known bet as to who 0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:21.280 to delegate this responsibility to, so that basically means you 0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:23.840 knew that there would be some incompetence involved. All the 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:25.560 more reason why you should say, here is exactly how 0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:27.080 I'd like you to send the key, because I don't 0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:29.160 trust you guys to send it back the right way. 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:33.040 This is why I delegate TOD so people can have 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:37.600 some kind of responsibility. That delegation you claim from being 0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:40.560 an executive producer on here to a lowly booker in 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:45.320 the back corner, a self titled executive producer. And then 0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:47.520 you go, I'm just a booker. Actually, I said, senior 0:18:47.600 --> 0:18:51.199 vice president of talent slash executive producer. But now if 0:18:51.240 --> 0:18:53.240 in this situation, I'm just a booker, I get the guests. 0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:54.760 I don't know what happened with the key. I will 0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:57.600 give Dylan immunity and I will talk to him during 0:18:57.640 --> 0:18:59.880 the commercial break and I will get to the boy 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:02.600 him of this bombshell. But really, we got to find 0:19:02.640 --> 0:19:06.040 the key. That's it, no matter what, no matter who's 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:07.760 to blame, we got to find the damn key for 0:19:07.800 --> 0:19:11.240 the heisman. Carson Palmer was inducted into the College Football 0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:14.600 Hall of Fame last night in Las Vegas, and he 0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:17.119 wanted to have his heisman on display. Who wouldn't want 0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:21.040 to have their heisman with him in there in Vegas? Right, Fritzie, 0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:23.240 you have to have at least that you're the heisman 0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:26.240 trophy whatever. Romo's there and you got that over Romo. Yes, 0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:28.680 I mean all you got it. Tony Romo got inducted 0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:31.320 to Carson Palmer brings out the suit case and it's 0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:35.719 like ballgat and that's like scoreboard. Tony Romo doesn't have that. 0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:38.119 He and Romo brought the same number of heisman's to 0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:45.160 the ceremonial. Wow, too soon, dang too soon. I somehow 0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:50.679 gave Carson Palmer the heisman. I did because he couldn't 0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:53.840 open it up. So he has his heisman suitcase and 0:19:53.960 --> 0:19:55.720 we don't have the key for the heisman, but we 0:19:55.760 --> 0:19:57.440 did say I hope it works out and a good 0:19:57.480 --> 0:19:59.320 luck to you. I did put out that emails like 0:19:59.359 --> 0:20:01.919 a complete sensitive to the situation. I'll tell you one 0:20:01.960 --> 0:20:03.240 day he'll be able to figure out how to open 0:20:03.320 --> 0:20:05.520 the case without the strug. But didn't they send an 0:20:05.520 --> 0:20:08.120 email saying, hey, no luck, we haven't found the key, 0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:11.840 and then didn't you follow up with an insensitive like 0:20:11.960 --> 0:20:14.800 it wasn't meant to be in some good weekend guys? Yeah? Maybe? 0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:16.639 About twelve minutes later, I said, any luck opening that 0:20:16.840 --> 0:20:20.760 even though they just said that we can't. What are 0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:23.679 you gonna do? Well, I don't know what I'm gonna do, 0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:27.520 but I feel terrible because you know, I got Carson 0:20:27.520 --> 0:20:30.600 Palmer gave us his heisman, loaned it to us, and 0:20:31.000 --> 0:20:33.800
