And we are rapidly approaching four hundred cities 0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:45.080 around America carrying this program, including the all new one 0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:49.480 oh four nine Fox Sports Upstate in Greenville, South Carolina, 0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:52.960 and they're the home of the South Carolina Gamecox. I 0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:57.320 believe the vice president of programming is Brian Hall. Yeah, 0:00:57.400 --> 0:01:00.520 b Hall, the end all and one of thank him 0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:04.240 for bringing this program. He obviously knows great radio. He's 0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:08.680 bringing this program to Greenville, South Carolina. Greenville, If you're 0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:14.639 not happy, blame Brian Hall. Oh no, eight seven seven 0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:17.800 three d P show email address dpadan Patrick dot com, 0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:21.240 Twitter handles at DPS show whole question, play of the day, 0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:23.760 stat of the day, all to that forthcoming. You know, 0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:27.080 the August coverage of the NFL didn't play out the 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:32.200 way we thought with September performance yesterday. Remember all those predictions, 0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:35.840 all the analysis you heard the last six months, throw 0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:38.440 them out the window. After Week one of the NFL season, 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:42.520 Super Bowl buzz in Buffalo, that's going to have to wait. 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:46.360 Bills losing to the Steelers. Everybody said the Texans were 0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:50.120 the worst team in the NFL. Well, we'll recalibrate that 0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:53.040 after Houston blew out the Jags. And maybe it's not 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:56.040 shocking that the Saints beat the Packers. It's how they 0:01:56.080 --> 0:02:00.000 beat the Packers New Orleans completely shutting down Aaron Rodgers 0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:04.920 and Jamis Winston throw five touchdowns. If I would have said, hey, 0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:07.520 a quarterback in the Saints Packers game is going to 0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:10.360 throw five touchdowns and the other one is going to 0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:13.560 have one of the worst games of his career, it 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:18.000 went the opposite way. Cardinals going into Nashville and blowing 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:21.520 out my Titans. How about the Eagles dominating the Falcons 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:26.120 in Atlanta. Bengals start out with a win, overtime win 0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:30.040 over the Vikings. It was wild Sunday. Now we have 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:33.520 to resist the urge to overreact because the storylines and 0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:36.000 many others could flip by next week. And that's why 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:39.040 we love the NFL, even if many of the things 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:42.360 we all predicted turned out to be false. McK lovin, 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:45.040 what's the poll question you have today for the audience? Okay, 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:48.600 as always, we will start negative, most disappointing. So you 0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:52.040 could do this one of two ways, Bills or Packers 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:54.640 as a most disappointing, or you could put several teams 0:02:54.639 --> 0:03:00.800 on there. Bill's, Packers, Titans, Falcons, and maybe the Vikings. 0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:03.440 I don't know if you put the Vikings on there. Yeah, 0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:05.280 the Bengals at home, I know they said that was 0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:08.200 an upset. I wasn't surprised the Bengals beat the Vikings. 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:10.960 I have no idea what to expect out of the Vikings. 0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:13.160 I don't expect a lot out of the Vikings, let 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:16.040 me put it that way. But the Bengals at home, 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:19.919 and I guess Jamar Chase is okay with the football. 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:23.160 Because there was a report that in college you have 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:27.240 the white lines on the college football, and he wasn't 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:29.200 able to pick up the NFL football. But he was 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:33.640 okay yesterday at you know, around one thirty yesterday afternoon, 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:37.560 when Joe Burrow hit him for a long touchdown. What 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:40.760 are the other ones there? I think the Bills. Well, 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:42.800 I think it really comes down in the Bills or Packers, 0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:47.440 because they're the only real Super Bowl caliber teams who disappointed. 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:50.640 You put the Titans and the Falcons in that conversation. Well, 0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:52.760 I put the Titans in there because I'm high on 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:56.480 the Titans. And you get blown out at home. Buffalo 0:03:56.600 --> 0:04:00.960 losing to Pittsburgh, that's a big deal. I'm not surprised 0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:07.840 the Packers lost. I'm surprised at how they lost. You know, 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:10.440 the Falcons losing at home. I do think the Falcons 0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:12.840 are going to be good this year. I mean they're 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:15.680 going to be average this year. Maybe they get eight 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:19.920 or nine wins. You just didn't like. It's the margin 0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:22.919 of victory that you didn't expect, certainly with what the 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:25.880 Eagles did to the Falcons and the Cardinals did to 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:30.280 the Titans. Pittsburgh beating Buffalo, I mean that's a good 0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:35.000 Pittsburgh defense, and you saw that and they didn't put 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:39.120 pressure on Ben. You got a stationary target there. That 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:42.280 was That was what was surprising there. I'm always amazed 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:45.000 when a coach comes out so you just this is 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:49.000 first game, first game of the season, you're on the road. 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:52.120 A lot of drama that happened in the offseason with 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:57.039 Green Bay and Matt Leur, the Packers head coach, talked 0:04:57.040 --> 0:05:01.520 about his team not playing with intense. They obviously came 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:03.600 out with a lot more intensity than we did. They 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:06.640 were they were the hungrier team, and that's disappointing, especially 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:09.039 when you have a team like we feel we have 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:12.880 the leadership. But ultimately I did a pretty bad job 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:15.120 getting these guys ready to play. Okay, for the life 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:18.320 of me, I don't understand this first game of the season. 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:23.560 A lot has happened now, we got bridge over troubled waters. 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:26.800 Maybe the water is a little smoother now, and you 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:30.120 go and play a game like that on a neutral site. 0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:33.440 That to me, there's no excuse for that first game 0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:36.400 of the season. Yeah, they had more intensity than us. 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:40.960 Why here's another thing I hate when an analyst says 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:45.320 why they're well coached. I heard that a couple of 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:48.159 times over the weekend college game. Man, they're well coached. 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:52.200 Would you tell me if they're not well coached? Like? 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:55.400 When when does an analyst? It always feels like I 0:05:55.400 --> 0:06:00.080 don't have anything to say about this team. They're well coached. Okay, 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:03.200 how about you tell me when somebody's not well coached? 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:07.239 Mclubin what kind of poll question? Other than that, although 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:09.720 I like that, when most disappointing, I still think it's 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:12.880 the Bills because the stakes are so high for the 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:15.479 Bills and Josh Allen yans point, I'd like to throw 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:17.320 the Browns in that one. And even though the Browns 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:19.159 had a nice game yesterday, if I'm a Browns fan, 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:22.480 I'm very angry because we had the Chiefs again. If 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:24.799 you remember the playoffs last year, I think the Browns 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:27.920 had about two ninety five yards at halftime. They could 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:29.599 have run the ball. I don't know that would bother 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:31.880 me if I'm a Browns fan, even though I still 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:35.360 feel good about the Browns, you want to have Baker 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:37.839 Mayfield to have a signature moment, and it feels like 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:41.520 we're still waiting for that signature moment. It was great 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:45.279 first half. I wasn't going to be surprised if Cleveland 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:49.280 won this game. But you just can't leave open that 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:53.520 window of opportunity for Patrick Mahomes. And you got a punter, 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:58.000 all you gotta do is just punt it. Just get 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:01.080 the ball and punt it, like the last of concentration 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:03.919 on getting the ball. Like at that point in the game, 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:07.960 how do you not have concentration? What could you possibly 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:11.000 be thinking other than I got my hair in a 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:14.320 man bun and I got to catch this football and 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:16.400 punt it. That's it, That's all I have to do. 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:20.280 And then you go and then you run around, and 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:23.200 then all of a sudden Chiefs takeover. Like those are 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:27.440 the little things we can talk about marquee players. We 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:30.280 can talk about strategy, we can talk about a variety 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:33.800 of things. Sometimes it comes down to just one moment 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:38.320 where somebody does something stupid and that decides the game. 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:42.120 Yet a moment with the Patriots against the Dolphins, a 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:47.120 late fumble. All you have to do is not fumble. 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:51.680 It doesn't matter, Yay, I'm going after more yards there. No, 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:57.720 you just cost your team a victory. The Browns punter 0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:03.800 cost his team a victory one moment everybody else. You know, 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:08.160 we look at the entirety of a game and you go, oh, 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:10.440 there's so many moments, and then it comes down to 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:16.400 that somebody does something, somebody doesn't do something. And that's 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:19.280 why it's so hard to handicap that. Because I thought 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:21.760 New England was going to win that game. I thought 0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:25.760 Mac Jones looked good. I thought he had training wheels on. 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:29.280 You know, you gotta score touchdowns in the NFL. You 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:33.640 can't just rely on field goals. And they allowed Miami 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:36.000 to stay in the game. Miami played some good defense 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:39.120 in the red zone. Hold onto the football, that's it. 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:42.120 That's all you gotta do. You kick a field goal, 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:47.520 you win the game. The punter just punted. Now there's 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:50.679 still a chance that Mahomes will win it. But I 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:53.560 like my odds a whole lot better when they're in 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:57.720 their territory as opposed to our territory. This program brought 0:08:57.760 --> 0:08:59.840 to you by Dollars Shaved Club upgrade to a Dollar 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:04.360 Club six blade razor noticeably smooth shave thanks to their 0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:07.920 sixth decision cut stainless steel blades.

Yes, MC club. So you were talking about 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:21.640 the NFC West all week being a tough division. How 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:25.000 about this poll question? Who had the best Sunday Out 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:28.679 of the four NFC West quarterbacks. Matthew Stafford had a 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:32.320 league high one fifty six point one rating, Russell Wilson 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:35.640 right behind one fifty two point three rating, Jimmy ge 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:39.400 was virtually perfect one twenty four rating, and Kyler Murray 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:43.400 through four touch sorry, through a bunch of touchdowns, it 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:47.040 was nearly perfect. All four quarterbacks had like career days. 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:50.600 Did Murray throw for four and run for one? Ye? Yeah. 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:55.600 I'm gonna say, Matthew Stafford, because you christened a new 0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:59.120 stadium so much hype, They gave up so much for you. 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:01.720 We want to see if Matthew Stafford with a good 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:06.319 team is going to be an MVP candidate. And I 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:10.760 would say that although Russell Wilson was spectacular that game 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:13.920 against the Colts, he had some throws that were just marvelous. 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:19.040 All of those quarterbacks, I mean, Jimmy Garoppolo, you're still 0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:22.120 going yeah, but Trey Lands going to be a starting 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:26.400 quarterback and then who would have thought? PAULI text this 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:30.040 to us, It's like, okay, if you had first rookie 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:33.240 quarterback to throw a touchdown this year, who had Trey Lance? 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:36.800 I wouldn't have had Trey Lance comes in one for one, 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:41.320 five yards touchdown. His quarterback rating is nuts. Yes, mclen 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:44.040 I hate to say this was the bolton board material 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:46.600 of drafting Trey Lance. It did light a fire under 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:51.520 Jimmy g I don't know did it help with Aaron 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:54.439 Rodgers and Jordan Love. By the way, there was a 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:58.680 headline that says Aaron Rodgers benched. I went, I don't 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:01.800 think he got bench. I think they probably thought, you 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:04.400 know what, this is a long season. We're not winning 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:06.920 this game. How about we put Jordan Love out there. 0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:09.760 I think you'll see Jordan Love a little bit more 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:13.880 this year, whether the Packers are winning big or they're 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:17.400 getting blown out. It was not a good weekend for 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:20.560 the NFC North to put it that way. That would 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:24.280 be an offer for the North NFC West four and 0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:27.200 oh yeah, there was a point last night around seven 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:29.360 thirty where the Bears had sole possession of first in 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:32.640 the NFC North and then the game started. Yeah, two two, 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:35.520 three teams were one and the Bears are Yes, mcglove. 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:37.960 Can we get the Detroit Lions a moral victory? Though? 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:41.200 That was an incredible formans they put on to come back. 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:44.480 That might be the best loss over the weekend. But 0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:47.240 there's no quit in that Dan Campbell led Lions team. 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:50.880 They're well coached. Yes they are. We'll check in with 0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:53.559 Jimmy Jimmerson. By the way, I think we do. We 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:56.400 have a Jimmy Jimmerson T shirt Seaton. We're working on 0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:59.520 a Jimmy Jimmerson one one being workshopped. Yeah, well, let 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:03.160 me go to the Insider and ask Jimmy Jimmerson about 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:05.559 the Jimmy Jimmerson T shirt. Yes, Jimmy, Well, that's what 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:08.520 people are looking for. Answers aren't right now? Okay, obviously 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:11.360 Jimmy Jammerson's taken off a little bit. People are demanding 0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:14.360 a T shirt. Now, will the Dan Patrick Show produce one? 0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:18.640 That's the question. Sources right now tell me they're working 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:22.440 on one, but nothing solid yet. All right, thank you, Jimmy. 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:25.600 That's Jimmy Jimmerson. We're going to settle on poll question. 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:27.480 We'll take a break. Joe Burrow's going to join us 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:29.560 on loan with the Bengals. We're starting with the most 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:32.840 disappointing Week one performance on Dan Patrick dot com. Okay, 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:37.199 because we have former quarterbacks with the Bengal we have 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:40.600 a former Bengal quarterback a current Bengal quarterback. Both were 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:45.199 Heisman Trophy winners. There's sort of a theme show. And 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:48.240 then we have one of the great tackles in the 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:51.560 history of the AFC North and he plays for the Browns. 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:54.000 Played for the Browns, Joe Tom.

Settled on our pole question. Most disappointing performance 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:13.599 over the weekend Bills, Packers, Titans, Falcons, Vikings. I'm not 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:15.920 surprised the Bengals beat the Vikings, so I wouldn't put 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:19.440 the Vikings in there. McLevin. My Bengals beating the Vikings, 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:22.320 got it, They're out. Okay, you're gonna put somebody else 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:25.440 in there. Isn't this gonna be Buffalo. They lost it 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:27.840 home to Pittsburgh. Everybody's talking about Josh Allen and the 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:30.280 Bills being a Super Bowl two. Well, Green Bay, I 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:32.440 think those are one and two. Yeah. I don't think 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:34.360 the Browns belong on there. I thought they looked pretty 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:38.800 pretty impressive. I think it's how they lost because they 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:40.920 were the better team for three quarters and then all 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:43.440 of a sudden they gave Mahomes an opportunity and he 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:48.040 took advantage of them. Joe Burrow, the Bengals quarterback, led 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:50.800 the Bengals to the win against the Vikings twenty twenty 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:53.400 seven through for a couple of touchdowns, including one to 0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:56.600 his former teammate Jamar Chase as they pick up the 0:14:56.680 --> 0:15:00.480 victory in overtime. Congratulations Joe. How do you field day 0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:05.840 to start the season off of the win? Especially the 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:09.080 way we won we know in case of adversity and 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:10.880 came out on top. That's something we didn't weren't able 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:12.040 to do last year or so. It's good to be 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:15.080 a win like that. I take me into overtime, fourth 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:17.080 and one, you have the ball at your own forty eight, 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:20.440 there's thirty nine seconds to go in the third quarter, 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:22.640 you had a fourth and one, you ran the ball. 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:27.160 What's the conversation like with that play call to keep 0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:29.640 the drive alive. Hey, we're gonna put the ball in 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:33.960 my hands. No, I saw a look from the defense 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:36.640 that No, I think opened up a play that we had. 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:39.400 So we got to that play and you know, it 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:42.080 wasn't didn't work out the way we expected it too, 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:44.040 but we got the job done. Wait, but you go 0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:48.080 to the line of scrimmage. Is the play called going 0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:52.040 to be a running call? Yes? Yeah it is? And 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:55.160 then you see something and then you realize that, hey, 0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:56.960 I got an option here and I can hit my 0:15:57.040 --> 0:16:01.240 tight end. Yeah. They put basically three D line or 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:03.280 they put a D linament over the center and then 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:05.040 two D linament in the A gaps And so I 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:06.520 knew it was gonna be tough to run the ball. 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:10.720 So we's got to a pass and executed it. How 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:14.000 much fun is it to? Uh? Well, take me back 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:16.120 to the play in the huddle called what is the 0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:19.120 play that you threw to Jamar for his first NFL touchdown? 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:24.600 Just double go? Why shallow um? Just tell Jamar to 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:30.920 run as fast as you can. I'm up. Okay, say 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:33.400 did you say Jamar just run as fast as you can? 0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:38.720 I'll throw it up to That was understood? Explain this 0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:42.640 whole the college football to the NFL football, and Jamar 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:44.760 was not able to pick it up. I mean, I 0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:47.440 understand it, but it sort of came out. I'd never 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:51.640 heard it before from a wide receiver. Well, I think 0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:58.000 Jamar is an honest guy, and he's been having some struggles, um, 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:01.760 basically just in the preseason games. You know, he's been 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:05.440 playing really well in practice, and you know, the NFL 0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:09.359 football is different. I don't know how big of a 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:11.400 part of the plane in the drop scene was having 0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:13.920 in the preseason, but you know, there's no doubt in 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:15.400 my mind he's going to stow up ready to play 0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:19.199 Game one, and he sure did. You know, people were 0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:21.320 asking me what I think he was going to look 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:25.280 like yesterday and that's all everyone, just don't worry about Jamar. 0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:27.320 All right, He's gonna show up on game dame dous thing. 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:30.399 And that's exactly what it did. How much do you 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:35.800 think of your off season with your surgeries with your knee. No, 0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:37.920 I've put in the work to to not think about 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:40.600 the knee at all. Um. You know, I got got 0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:42.639 rolled up, got hit on it yesterday and you know 0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:45.639 it felt great, So that was exciting for me. You 0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:48.200 put that behind us and we can move on. What 0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:54.520 was the worst day for you? Worst day in the rehab? Yeah, 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:58.240 I mean those first couple of days after surgery, we're 0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:00.800 pretty excruciating. You know, there's a lot of a lot 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:03.800 of damage in there, a lot of trauma, and so 0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:06.800 those first couple of days after surgery, basically any kind 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:11.080 of movement was excruciating pain. So that was not very fun. 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:14.680 But we got that fairly quickly after about a week 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:17.960 and then it was smooth sailing. Bears played the Rams 0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:19.920 last night. How much of that game did you watch 0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:23.480 since your next game is against the Bears. Yeah, I 0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:26.880 watched all of it. They obviously have some some really 0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:29.720 good players on defense. You know, the Rams played really well. 0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:34.520 They got some Rams are loaded una to You're gonna 0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:36.280 have to to bring some of that next week. I'm 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:38.399 excited to go into Chicago. I think that'll be a 0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:42.159 fun road game, and they're they're talented on defense. Ram 0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:46.919 Stop to Play? Is the game slowing down? College quarterbacks are, 0:18:47.080 --> 0:18:50.639 you know, relatively new quarterbacks in the NFL talk about 0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:53.320 usually year two, which starts to slow down a little bit. 0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:55.359 You're able to kind of see things differently does that 0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:59.680 happened to you? Yeah? I think you know, right before 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:01.520 I got hurt last year, it was really starting to 0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:05.440 click for me and slowing down. Um, and then I 0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:08.200 got hurt and wasn't able to really show that the 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:11.480 last part of the season. UM. So you know, I 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:13.800 felt really comfortable back there yesterday and we had a 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:17.080 great plan going in, ran the ball well, defense, played great. 0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:19.159 I think it was a great team win. What advice 0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:24.840 would you give a rookie quarterback. Don't be afraid to 0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:27.480 make mistakes. You'll go out there and play your game. 0:19:28.440 --> 0:19:30.400 You know, if you see it, throw let it rip 0:19:30.440 --> 0:19:33.520 and then you know, talk about it later. But you 0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:35.280 know when I got into trouble was when I was 0:19:36.040 --> 0:19:41.119 indecisive and you know, slow and what wasn't really sure 0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:43.000 what I wanted to do. And when I just went 0:19:43.040 --> 0:19:44.840 out there and let it rip, you know, I played 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:49.840 pretty well. Are you on social media? Yeah, I'm back 0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:54.680 on there. I'm not a big Twitter guy, but I'm 0:19:54.760 --> 0:19:59.680 on Instagram. It's dangerous, Joe, it is, it really is. 0:19:59.720 --> 0:20:02.960 That's I'm not on Twitter because you know Twitter, they 0:20:03.000 --> 0:20:05.800 can get to you every little thing you get. You 0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:08.280 see Instagram, you kind of in your own little world. 0:20:08.320 --> 0:20:10.640 You don't have to look at all that stuff. Were 0:20:10.680 --> 0:20:14.760 you on Twitter last year? Um? I mean a little 0:20:14.760 --> 0:20:19.399 bit much? But Twitter? Yeah, Twitter is a not a 0:20:20.040 --> 0:20:24.480 not a very positive place. Which how did they rough 0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:26.440 you up? What were some of the things that were said? 0:20:27.880 --> 0:20:34.200 I mean, you hear it all. I mean bust, weak, arm, terrible, 0:20:34.520 --> 0:20:36.280 I mean all of the above. You hear it all 0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:40.639 on Twitter? Instagram is a little more positive? Is that 0:20:40.680 --> 0:20:43.680 what you're saying? Yeah, you know, I think everyone is 0:20:43.720 --> 0:20:47.120 a positive mindset on there. If you could change one 0:20:47.240 --> 0:20:51.439 rule in the NFL that that you had in college, 0:20:51.560 --> 0:20:55.359 is is there a rule that you would love to change? Now? 0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:58.480 That's a good question. I would like for them to 0:20:58.560 --> 0:21:05.160 be less TV timeouts. Yeah, it feels like every series 0:21:05.200 --> 0:21:07.720 you're running out there and waiting for four minutes before 0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:12.320 you start to play. It's really feels like, I don't know, 0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:14.320 it feels just like you take a long time to 0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:17.440 get out there and call the play. What do you 0:21:17.560 --> 0:21:20.159 talk about when you're out there waiting for the you know, 0:21:20.240 --> 0:21:23.600 the game to start or continue resume. Well, you know, 0:21:23.760 --> 0:21:25.920 it was that he was acting the headset, you know, 0:21:26.160 --> 0:21:28.879 going through his thought process on on what play to 0:21:29.000 --> 0:21:32.840 call and going through his process, his thought process as 0:21:32.920 --> 0:21:35.080 far as you know, what my job is on that play, 0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:37.320 and then he relays what he wants me to tell 0:21:37.400 --> 0:21:39.040 some of the guys in the huddle as far as 0:21:39.320 --> 0:21:42.240 what to pertain for their jobs. And then also you 0:21:42.359 --> 0:21:44.479 just you know, kind of a little fun out there, 0:21:45.000 --> 0:21:46.560 talk about whatever. You know, you don't want it to 0:21:46.600 --> 0:21:49.480 get too serious. Did you want to talk about the 0:21:49.600 --> 0:21:55.880 LSU Tigers? Yeah, sure, I'll talk about Did you watch 0:21:56.000 --> 0:22:00.960 the UCLA game? I did? Yeah, I did, Yeah, yeah, Yeah, 0:22:01.080 --> 0:22:04.560 that was a tough one. Um, but I think they 0:22:04.640 --> 0:22:08.120 got a great coaching staff. But they'll get that right. Yeah, 0:22:08.320 --> 0:22:11.280 And it seemed like the physicality was lacking, lacking a 0:22:11.320 --> 0:22:13.720 little bit and by no, coach, Oh, that's not gonna 0:22:13.760 --> 0:22:17.280 last for very long, does it? Ohio states loss affect 0:22:17.359 --> 0:22:23.080 you at all? Um, No, I don't. I don't. You know. 0:22:23.160 --> 0:22:26.920 I haven't played with you last year. Even last year, 0:22:27.040 --> 0:22:29.040 I had some guys on the team that I played with, 0:22:29.200 --> 0:22:31.360 so I was still I was rooting for him. Um, 0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:34.520
