Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: It's our one on this Tuesday. Come on in stay
Speaker 2: a while. Gang's all here, ready to go, Fired up.
Speaker 2: Got some topics. Usually it gets a little dry certain
Speaker 2: months of the year. Sports topics get a little drier,
Speaker 2: and then if you have a story, it metastasizes because
Speaker 2: there's no other story that's going to compete with it.
Speaker 2: But this is a big story today, It's going to
Speaker 2: be a big story for probably the next couple of weeks,
Speaker 2: and that is the push tush, the brotherly shove. It's
Speaker 2: going to come up and eventually it'll get at the combine.
Speaker 2: There'll be a lot of chatter and then all of
Speaker 2: a sudden, we're going to decide if the owners the
Speaker 2: competition committee want to move forward with this. But you
Speaker 2: had the Green Bay Packers, according to Diana Russini, who
Speaker 2: they sent a proposal to remove the push tush and
Speaker 2: so or tush push or is it push tush whatever?
Speaker 2: Don't I think you're doing both this basically this pushing
Speaker 2: the tush or you're tushing the push. Well, somebody's tush
Speaker 2: is getting pushed, and then in fact, a couple of
Speaker 2: them are, if you think about it, plush tush, Yes,
Speaker 2: the push tush. Hey your push tushing? Stop it? Uh.
Speaker 2: But this is where you had to have somebody come
Speaker 2: forward and put their name to it and say, hey,
Speaker 2: we would like to get rid of the push tush
Speaker 2: or the tush puck. How about brotherly shove? How's that?
Speaker 2: Since it's all about Philadelphia, the combine kind of gets
Speaker 2: underway today kind of. This is where you got some
Speaker 2: interviews that are going on medicals for kickers also RETURNMN
Speaker 2: I believe, having their interviews in medicals. Let's go okay,
Speaker 2: oh Dan, Yeah, this is where the NFL network is
Speaker 2: still setting up as these guys are trying to do
Speaker 2: their things like coming through here we go, Wait a minute,
Speaker 2: I'm doing an interview in her Yeah. Yeah, we got
Speaker 2: to get some cable. We got to get all this
Speaker 2: ready for Thursday.
Speaker 3: Here.
Speaker 2: Here's what I want to ask, and we don't ask this,
Speaker 2: but I think we should. When it comes to hand size,
Speaker 2: do we make a big deal about a punter? And
Speaker 2: how about foot size? I'm being serious. Do they measure feet?
Speaker 2: I don't know if they do. I haven't seen anything.
Speaker 2: I don't know what Russell Erkslabin's shoe size was when
Speaker 2: he was kicking, or Morten Anderson or Adam Vinterry. I
Speaker 2: don't know. Is it a nine and a half? Is
Speaker 2: it a thirteen and a half. If you're a punter,
Speaker 2: how big is your foot? Well? Feet? What about hands?
Speaker 2: I think it was barstool maybe pft who brought up
Speaker 2: they should measure finger length, not hand size.
Speaker 3: He'd cut.
Speaker 2: Yes, once again, these are the things if we really
Speaker 2: want to, you know, you know, drill down deeply here,
Speaker 2: like how much do we really want to know about
Speaker 2: your measurables? Yes, Paul I went back and looked.
Speaker 4: I've got the official NFL combine stats page, which gives
Speaker 4: you readouts for everybody in the past.
Speaker 2: Okay, remember the punter two.
Speaker 4: Years ago for Iowa, that All Pro, all star punter
Speaker 4: they had, Tory Taylor. He was measured, They did arm
Speaker 4: length and hand size. They did not measure his feet.
Speaker 2: Okay, but if nobody made a big deal about somebody's
Speaker 2: hand size as a punter, how many times have we
Speaker 2: seen the punter have the ball go through his hands happens?
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's that important. I don't do
Speaker 2: you want your punter to do bench presses. You know,
Speaker 2: a lot of this is silly, it is, but it
Speaker 2: does fill up a lot of time because if the
Speaker 2: combine was held in a different like in January or
Speaker 2: March April like, it wouldn't get as much at time.
Speaker 2: But there's a lot of things that are going on
Speaker 2: at the combine and really nothing else that's going to
Speaker 2: compete with it, and therefore we'll be glued to it.
Speaker 2: We can't wait to watch the defensive lineman out of
Speaker 2: Texas A and M how fast did he run the
Speaker 2: three cone drill? We get so caught up in it.
Speaker 2: And really it's silly to me because the tape doesn't
Speaker 2: lie what you do on tape. That's what I want
Speaker 2: to see when you do it against competition, And how
Speaker 2: are you in an interview? And what are your medicals?
Speaker 2: That's what I care about. And then I'm going to
Speaker 2: do my background check. I'm going to talk to your teammates,
Speaker 2: I'm going to talk to the equipment manager. I'll do
Speaker 2: my due diligence there. But the stuff at the combine,
Speaker 2: it's filler, that's all it is. It's filler, Yes, Paul.
Speaker 4: On the schedule today, Dan just to pump you up
Speaker 4: for the combine placekicker, defensive line, linebacker, medical exams, and
Speaker 4: team interviews, defensive back and tight end team interviews. Today
Speaker 4: now no broadcasts, no interviews in public, no.
Speaker 2: Interviews, so nothing really going on probably until Wednesday or Thursday.
Speaker 2: Thursday is that when it heats up.
Speaker 4: On yea, heats up on field stuff. But the one
Speaker 4: thing you will see today is coaches, head coaches and
Speaker 4: general managers are talking to the media. So you may
Speaker 4: get some fall out later today and tomorrow from that.
Speaker 2: And also when you get the gms and coaches together,
Speaker 2: this is when things happen. And let's say Miles Garrett
Speaker 2: wants to be traded or you want to propose a trade.
Speaker 2: Now you can do it face to face. Now you
Speaker 2: can say, hey, come on over to my room. I
Speaker 2: got some things I want to say to you. Maybe
Speaker 2: if Matthew Stafford's representative is there, maybe you're talking to
Speaker 2: teams there. You know, the Steelers have made an inquiry
Speaker 2: to Matthew Stafford, the Giants reportedly have done that. Now
Speaker 2: you get a chance to say, hey, let's talk about this.
Speaker 2: I don't think you'll see Matthew Stafford there about his
Speaker 2: representative could be there, and a lot of things get
Speaker 2: done when you put everybody together and it's twenty four
Speaker 2: to seven, then that's when sometimes you'll get the groundwork,
Speaker 2: the foundation for moves that are going to be made.
Speaker 2: You'll also get the groundwork foundation maybe for what will
Speaker 2: happen with the Tush Push. I did it. I got
Speaker 2: it right, thank you, thank you doing big boy things
Speaker 2: here just in time for them to get rid of
Speaker 2: the play and I'm just mastering it right now.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 2: So, uh, poll question today seton what do you have
Speaker 2: for the first hour? Well, I would like to go
Speaker 2: with for the first hour today, the Green Bay Packers
Speaker 2: are Dot dot Dot heroes or zeros. Wow, okay. Diana
Speaker 2: Rossini's reporting two sources that the Green Bay Packers of
Speaker 2: the team that came forward to say, let's outlaw the
Speaker 2: Tush Push. Okay, Todd Packers heroes or zeros.
Speaker 3: The Packers are zeros.
Speaker 2: Seaton heroes or zeroes zeros Marvin Zero's heroes.
Speaker 4: They're saying what needed to be said.
Speaker 2: To thank y'all, give up your bodies, cancel that play.
Speaker 2: You couldn't always you could. You can play that SoundBite
Speaker 2: from that guy as if he is talking about the
Speaker 2: tush push.
Speaker 4: Wait next question, Jeff, where are you right there?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I just want to thank each and everyone out for
Speaker 2: all your bodies.
Speaker 1: It's still really to be damn it.
Speaker 3: I'll thank you, Thank you guys. They were awesome.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much, mister f for saying what needed
Speaker 2: to be saying. Quarter quarterbacks needs are still real to me.
Speaker 3: Damn it.
Speaker 1: See another one of these.
Speaker 4: You see, Chris Jones neck, This is.
Speaker 1: Want to get rid of the to I just want
Speaker 1: to think.
Speaker 2: Mister proper respect. Take it easy, Take it easy there, Terrence,
Speaker 2: take it easy there, fell all right, Packers are heroes.
Speaker 2: I don't know that feels zero ish that, Hey, we
Speaker 2: can't stop them. Can you help us stop them by
Speaker 2: taking the play out of out of the playbook. Ye.
Speaker 4: I think the NFL needed a team to complain about it,
Speaker 4: to put it on the docket agenda. So I think
Speaker 4: the Packers did the NFL a solid, either intentionally or unintentionally.
Speaker 2: Well, why don't you have other teams doing that? You
Speaker 2: only need one to open the door, you know, But
Speaker 2: why wouldn't other teams join forces with the Packers?
Speaker 4: Zeros, you want to be in a part of a
Speaker 4: segment on the damn Packard. So they're probably gonna get
Speaker 4: a fifth round draft pick compensatory for.
Speaker 2: You get a punter that's pushing it, Paul, Yeah, yeah, Okay,
Speaker 2: thank you, Ton. Let's see Mavericks at the Lakers tonight.
Speaker 2: It'd be a whole lot more interesting if it was
Speaker 2: the Lakers at the Mavericks and Anthony Davis was playing
Speaker 2: in this game. I have some over unders from DraftKings.
Speaker 2: I'll have that for you coming up. And oh, by
Speaker 2: the way, performance from the Joker last night he had
Speaker 2: nineteen assists. He's the center, and I thought, okay, how
Speaker 2: often does this happen? So I went back and I go,
Speaker 2: who has the most assist from the center position in
Speaker 2: a game in NBA history? And it happened in nineteen
Speaker 2: sixty eight, Will Chamberlain. Will Chamberlain once led the NBA
Speaker 2: in assist I think he led in just about every
Speaker 2: category possible except for free throw percentage. He was a
Speaker 2: terrible free throw shitter. So twenty one assist and then
Speaker 2: you go Joker at nineteen. Then after that it's Will
Speaker 2: Chamberlain at nineteen. Then after that it's Joker, Joker, Joker, Joker, Joker,
Speaker 2: joke er, Joker, Joker, Will Chamberlain, Joker, Joker, Joker, Joker, Joker, Joker, Joker, Joker, Joker, Joker, Joker,
Speaker 2: Will Chamberlain, Will Chamberlain, Joker, Joker, Joker. Stat of the Day,
Speaker 2: Sad of the day, that beast, stat of the day,
Speaker 2: stat of the day.
Speaker 3: Here comes that what stat.
Speaker 4: Of the Day?
Speaker 2: Brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards
Speaker 2: of the Dan Patrick Show. And it's not like that's
Speaker 2: all he does. I mean, he's giving you pretty much
Speaker 2: a triple double. He's averaging a triple double. But he
Speaker 2: does it in a way that you're almost I don't know,
Speaker 2: you're not surprised by anything. Nineteen assists, the all time
Speaker 2: record is twenty one, and you get the feeling if
Speaker 2: Joker wanted to get the record, he could get the record.
Speaker 2: I don't know if the numbers mean anything to it.
Speaker 2: I think he enjoys the mind game, the chess game
Speaker 2: of basketball, and as long as he continues to enjoy that,
Speaker 2: he'll continue to be the best player in the game.
Speaker 2: It's not like he's slowing down or he doesn't jump
Speaker 2: as high anymore. This is who he is. He plays
Speaker 2: old man basketball and he's the best player in the game. Now,
Speaker 2: he's not going to win the MVP because there's voter
Speaker 2: fatigue for him to win. Oh my god, he can't
Speaker 2: win another one. I don't remember that happening when I
Speaker 2: was growing up. I don't remember that happening, you know,
Speaker 2: with Bird and Magic and Mike. Oh, he can't win now.
Speaker 2: There might have been voter fatigue a little bit with Jordan,
Speaker 2: and that's why Barkley and Karl Malone won, But they
Speaker 2: were deserving and their teams played really well. But Joker
Speaker 2: is not going to win the MVP this year. Shay
Speaker 2: Gilis Alexander will win the MVP. He's not a better player,
Speaker 2: but it's a better story. And his team is playing
Speaker 2: extremely well, except for the last three minutes last night
Speaker 2: in regulation and then overtime as they blew a twenty
Speaker 2: five point lead at home. If this is if this
Speaker 2: happened to Lebron, my god, it would never stop on SportsCenter.
Speaker 2: This is this is the leading candidate for the MVP,
Speaker 2: and you blew a twenty five point lead at home
Speaker 2: against a Timberwolf team that I think was This is
Speaker 2: the back end of a back to back. So Joker
Speaker 2: is making it. He makes it easy at times. Now
Speaker 2: I give the Lakers credit for the defense they played
Speaker 2: on him, you know, last game, which was incredible, but
Speaker 2: he makes it look really easy and it's not really easy,
Speaker 2: and I think that's what's amazing. You'll watch and you go,
Speaker 2: how did he see that? And if you watch and
Speaker 2: he of course has a water polo experience. He just
Speaker 2: standing there and he's holding the basketball and this happens
Speaker 2: in water polo, except for they can't stand in the water.
Speaker 2: He's at the top of the key, directing traffic. He's
Speaker 2: like a conductor in a symphony, and he makes it
Speaker 2: look really easy. Nineteen assists for a center, and he's
Speaker 2: going to get the old time record at some point.
Speaker 2: But that's the those who have had at least fifteen
Speaker 2: assists as a center. That was the list that I
Speaker 2: had fifteen through twenty one assists with him and Wilt.
Speaker 2: Wilt is there four times or five times, Joker's there,
Speaker 2: I think twenty times. So we've gotten used to it.
Speaker 2: But I do think Shay Gilgers is going to still
Speaker 2: win the MVP this year.

Speaker 2: chime frame for baby number two dropping.
Speaker 3: This summer? This summer? Looking forward to it?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 3: And the advice.
Speaker 7: No, obviously, start thinking about like how many and everything.
Speaker 7: And I've been asking a lot of people and there's
Speaker 7: it's almost split fifty to fifty on people say.
Speaker 3: Going from one to two is harder, going from two
Speaker 3: to three is harder.
Speaker 2: I would say one to two is going to change you.
Speaker 2: But two to three, now you're already in chaos. So
Speaker 2: once you get to three. We got to three and
Speaker 2: we immediately said we wanted to have a fourth, Like
Speaker 2: we didn't. Wow, that was it. So I had four,
Speaker 2: well my wife had four under seven years of age,
Speaker 2: so we were it was. It was chaos, it really was.
Speaker 2: But looking back on it, they grew up together. They're
Speaker 2: very close now. So hopefully you know you have a
Speaker 2: girl and that'll crush you, that'll absolutely rush you so
Speaker 2: that do you know what you're having?
Speaker 3: I know, yes, OKAYL doesn't.
Speaker 2: No, Oh okay, good try though.
Speaker 3: I mean that's that's good radioing.
Speaker 2: You know, it's good hosting its content. But if it's
Speaker 2: a girl, I have three, so that's where I can
Speaker 2: help you with that. But if you want to you know.
Speaker 3: I mean, you're you're trying to leave me down the
Speaker 3: road here and I'm not going okay, all just not
Speaker 3: all right.
Speaker 7: Although I did see, uh, I'm sure Paulie has plenty
Speaker 7: of tips for me for girls. He sent me, Uh
Speaker 7: he was trying to give Fritzy a bit of stick
Speaker 7: for how many times he texted me to get me
Speaker 7: on the show last time? And paul got me on
Speaker 7: the show this time. But I said, if you're gonna
Speaker 7: give me stick, then you can't, Or if you're gonna get
Speaker 7: Fritzie stick, then you can't send me highlights of your
Speaker 7: daughter's high.
Speaker 3: School basketball The text messages I no apologies.
Speaker 4: My daughter said to me, can Uncle JJ take a
Speaker 4: look at my shot? I said, of course he can.
Speaker 2: I love you.
Speaker 3: He loves on fire.
Speaker 7: I mean she is a very good basketball player. So
Speaker 7: the highlights well deserved. But I would never have said
Speaker 7: anything if you didn't come at Fritzi first. So I
Speaker 7: protect my friend Todd.
Speaker 2: I'm glad Pauli's sending you the videos in no longer us,
Speaker 2: so there's a benefit for all of us moving around.
Speaker 2: Your lasting memory of the combine was what.
Speaker 7: Relief when it was done and warm ups in the
Speaker 7: hotel ballrooms. I think those are the two things that
Speaker 7: I remember the most. And then the train station obviously
Speaker 7: is its own. You guys know, I don't know how
Speaker 7: much the outside world really knows about the train station
Speaker 7: and everything that goes on the train station, all the interviews,
Speaker 7: the meeting of coaches and hallways, and it's basically just
Speaker 7: four days of it's literally the biggest job interview of
Speaker 7: your life. So you're walking around twenty four to seven
Speaker 7: just trying to make sure that you know everything is
Speaker 7: going according to plan because this can change millions of dollars.
Speaker 7: It can change your entire future.
Speaker 2: But are you It is your analogy. The train station
Speaker 2: like the car wash where.
Speaker 7: No, no, it's a literal train station. It's a oh,
Speaker 7: there's an actual train station in Indianapolis. It's like a
Speaker 7: decommissioned train station. So you are inside like actual train
Speaker 7: the train station with train cars, like you're doing interviews
Speaker 7: inside the train cars.
Speaker 3: It's not like the USD car wash. No, it's it's
Speaker 3: a real train.
Speaker 2: Oh. I wonder why they don't show this or give us.
Speaker 7: Oh I thought you got I thought everybody about it. No,
Speaker 7: it's it's a pretty cool place. And I think that's
Speaker 7: why Indianapolis is so well versed besides being so walkable.
Speaker 7: But they have this huge, old decommission train station and
Speaker 7: it's turned into like a hotel, so all the hotel
Speaker 7: rooms around the edges, and then in the middle all
Speaker 7: the trains are like offices. So you walk into one
Speaker 7: train and there's meetings with NFL teams and then you
Speaker 7: walk out and it's crazy, but actually a good You
Speaker 7: brought me to a good point here. My lasting impression
Speaker 7: is my eventual defensive line coach, Bill Kolar for the
Speaker 7: Houston Texan. After my meeting with the Texans, I walked
Speaker 7: out of the room. He followed me out of the
Speaker 7: room and he looks at me and he goes, I
Speaker 7: just gotta.
Speaker 3: Ask you real quick. You think you play hard? Good coach?
Speaker 7: I play hard every single snap, like I gave everything
Speaker 7: I have, so you think you can really though you
Speaker 7: think you play hard, it's a coach. I give it
Speaker 7: everything I have. Every single snap. He goes, you're a lion,
Speaker 7: son of a bitch. You don't play hard at all.
Speaker 7: And I'm like, well, not going to Houston. Check him off?
Speaker 7: And then sure enough, what's he trying to do?
Speaker 2: What give me the look?
Speaker 3: That's who he is.
Speaker 7: My whole first year, I thought maybe he did. I
Speaker 7: thought this man hated me. I know I hated him.
Speaker 7: I couldn't stand him for my life. I was I
Speaker 7: considered quitting football. I was like, I don't like this.
Speaker 7: This is not fun. Is this what I actually wanted?
Speaker 7: Am I even good enough? Am I gonna get cut?
Speaker 7: And now I went to his Hall of Fame ceremony
Speaker 7: for his college Football Hall of Fame induction.
Speaker 3: We're best friends. We golf together, and I love the
Speaker 3: man and I'm so thankful for him. But he was
Speaker 3: a tough, old school hard nos.
Speaker 7: He bought a bear, He literally wrestled a bear when
Speaker 7: he played for the Cincinnati Bengals.
Speaker 2: JJ Watt NFL Today on CBS Studio analyst, the tush
Speaker 2: push is going to get a lot of conversation and
Speaker 2: feels like it's going to be kind of in the
Speaker 2: rotation here with a lot of shows for the next
Speaker 2: couple of weeks. Packers came forward and they said that
Speaker 2: they would like to get this outlawed. How do you
Speaker 2: view the Packers in this situation coming forward to say
Speaker 2: to the NFL we want this outlawd oh?
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't. I don't mind. Like people put
Speaker 3: up rules every year, so I don't mind when teams
Speaker 3: put up rules if that's if that's what they want
Speaker 3: to do, if that's something they feel like, you know,
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter, it's not going to work. I mean,
Speaker 3: I don't. They're kno going to outlaw that play. It's
Speaker 3: very difficult to do.
Speaker 7: I also think, like everybody knows, if every team was
Speaker 7: great at it, it would be a problem, like if
Speaker 7: it was just a guarantee third and one fourth to one.
Speaker 7: But only the Eagles have truly truly mastered it. And
Speaker 7: we watched that Bill's Chiefs game and we saw the
Speaker 7: Chiefs knew that Bill's had a tendency to run the
Speaker 7: quarterback seat to the left. They lined up and protected
Speaker 7: it and it worked and it literally got them to
Speaker 7: the super Bowl because of it.
Speaker 3: So until every one.
Speaker 7: Of the thirty two teams is successful at it, you
Speaker 7: can't outlaud it. Just you can't punish the entire league
Speaker 7: because the Eagles are good at it. The Eagles are
Speaker 7: just really really good at it.
Speaker 2: How do you defend it? As a former defensive lineman.
Speaker 7: Honestly know the way that the Eagles do it and
Speaker 7: how good they are at it, I honestly think that
Speaker 7: if you do, if you defended it on a hundred times,
Speaker 7: you might get lucky if you if you even if
Speaker 7: you had the perfect defense, but you have to have
Speaker 7: a couple guys going extremely low immediately on the snap,
Speaker 7: which does come down to almost timing it because they
Speaker 7: know the count you don't.
Speaker 3: That's where the big advantage is.
Speaker 7: And then you have to have a couple guys going
Speaker 7: over the top and once again hitting it at the
Speaker 7: perfect time. So you have to try and stop those
Speaker 7: old lineman's momentum. And then you also have to try
Speaker 7: and stop Jalen's momentum with the push.
Speaker 3: But that's the crazy.
Speaker 7: Thing to me about the push push down is that
Speaker 7: not every single team practices it and perfects it the
Speaker 7: way that the Eagles have. Yes, Jalen is extremely strong
Speaker 7: and he's going to be He's more powerful than most quarterbacks. Yes,
Speaker 7: they have a couple of great pushers behind him, and
Speaker 7: yes their line has perfected it. But you can't tell
Speaker 7: me that if a team practiced it every single week
Speaker 7: and truly perfected it and got the push down and
Speaker 7: got the line of the time it up perfectly, and
Speaker 7: everybody to do?
Speaker 3: What together?
Speaker 2: What's going on in your house some spadow?
Speaker 7: It's a great time to have a little construction going
Speaker 7: on living Listen, it was good on your end?
Speaker 2: Was it planned like it is? That your wife with it?
Speaker 7: I'm not supposed to be happening right now. I can't
Speaker 7: see the back entrance, so clearly, what the hell.
Speaker 2: Do you want to do? You want to look outside?
Speaker 2: Right now?
Speaker 3: Should I? Should I go to shut this down? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Give me, I'm gonna tell him.
Speaker 7: Give me ten minutes here, Okay, you can stay on
Speaker 7: the audio here, okay, all right, all right, it's just fun.
Speaker 2: Maybe you're maybe you're building the baby room, the new
Speaker 2: baby room.
Speaker 7: Could you take like a ten minute break? Sorry, thank you,
Speaker 7: just ten minutes. Come, I'll come in, thank you. Yes, yes, all.
Speaker 3: Right, we got it, bought ourselves ten minutes there.
Speaker 2: Okay, great, all right, I'd like it. You don't even
Speaker 2: know what's going on at your house now, now I do, okay,
Speaker 2: I thank you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you, great great man, great man.
Speaker 2: The regular play compared to the tush push? How much
Speaker 2: more dangerous is that tush push?
Speaker 7: And you're talking all plays versus the tush push in
Speaker 7: terms of danger.
Speaker 2: Well, let's say just a typical bunny who have seen
Speaker 2: injured by the push. Chris Jones in the Super Bowl
Speaker 2: looked like he got his neck banged up a little
Speaker 2: bit there.
Speaker 7: Yeah, But I mean I would say that, I would
Speaker 7: say that it's not it's It's really hard to say
Speaker 7: because obviously, being on the D line, I know how
Speaker 7: difficulty is.
Speaker 3: Especially when you're cranking the neck down there.
Speaker 7: But I would say that a high speed collision from
Speaker 7: further away is much more dangerous than you know, two
Speaker 7: inches away, damning yourself in there.
Speaker 2: The NFL is the NFL is looking for injury data,
Speaker 2: I'm guessing JJ, because once they have that, they're all about,
Speaker 2: you know, safety protection, you know, the jumping over the line.
Speaker 2: I mean, this is the loophole here are they are
Speaker 2: they do you think the NFL wants bunch new blocks
Speaker 2: blocks still in the game. I agree with you one
Speaker 2: hundred percent. I agree. Uh but this this play is
Speaker 2: predictable and it's boring, and you know, it's like the
Speaker 2: extra point. They had to move it back to make
Speaker 2: it interesting. I wonder, this is my tweaking take away.
Speaker 2: The lineman behind Jalen hurts, then it's a quarterback sneak
Speaker 2: and nobody can complain about this. The Eagles will still
Speaker 2: be successful, maybe not as much, but just take the
Speaker 2: guy out from behind Jalen hurds. That's it.
Speaker 7: I don't disagree with you at all. If they are
Speaker 7: going to change it, that's the way to change it.
Speaker 7: I also don't disagree with you that they're going to
Speaker 7: be just as successful. I don't think the pusher actually
Speaker 7: does a ton for them, because it's how good their
Speaker 7: offensive line is at it. They are so tight, they
Speaker 7: are so low, they all fire off at the exact
Speaker 7: same time on the snapcount, and Jalen is so strong
Speaker 7: that he just pushes beyond Most of the time he
Speaker 7: is successful without the pusher even being an issue.
Speaker 2: Have you talked to the commissioner or anybody about why
Speaker 2: do they allow these linemen to cut you?
Speaker 7: Last year, we have the commissioner come into CBS every
Speaker 7: year before the season starts, and we can you know,
Speaker 7: we talked to him asking questions. Last year, I was
Speaker 7: asking him more broad questions about football in general, the violence,
Speaker 7: about the flag, football aspect, and which way it's going.
Speaker 7: I haven't asked about that specifically, but it is one
Speaker 7: that I've brought up an NFLPA conversations. It's one that
Speaker 7: I bring up anytime anyone wants to talk to me
Speaker 7: about health and safety or protection. Obviously, being anti lineman,
Speaker 7: I know how much they protect the quarterback. Can't hit
Speaker 7: him low, can't hit him high. I can't hit him here,
Speaker 7: can't hit him there. Yet as a defensive lineman, I
Speaker 7: can fire off the ball and they can purposefully split
Speaker 7: the blockers so that I come off free, and they
Speaker 7: can have a guy come from the side and literally
Speaker 7: his coaching point is to put his helmet on my knee.
Speaker 7: So don't tell me that it's all about health and
Speaker 7: safety when that's a perfectly legal block. And I'm not
Speaker 7: saying that it's should be a flag because at the
Speaker 7: current moment it's not.
Speaker 3: So it's legal.
Speaker 7: I have to protect it, but there's no place for
Speaker 7: it in the game, and it is literally the goal
Speaker 7: of it is to wipe out a guy's knee.
Speaker 2: I feel bad for you. Like the backdromp you got
Speaker 2: there is pretty pedestrian.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I know. I mean, my wife's the real
Speaker 7: star of the show. So that's why the fastest goal
Speaker 7: in the US women's soccer history. You I don't have that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely quicker. She's much more agile.
Speaker 2: You don't even have your jersey framed.
Speaker 7: This. This is a book. This is a book from
Speaker 7: the Houston Texans's a really cool book. When I retired,
Speaker 7: they gave me a book of all.
Speaker 2: Like my career. All right, okay, cool, you got to
Speaker 2: dress that up a little bit here.
Speaker 7: I mean, what do you want? I got the Arnold
Speaker 7: book over here, big, big, heavy book. I don't it's
Speaker 7: a great book I got, Yeah, I mean, what what's
Speaker 7: your yours? You're just I don't have the cool memorabilia
Speaker 7: that you have where I can just shower it all
Speaker 7: over my entire room.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know.
Speaker 7: Just I mean it's incredible, it really is. Yeah, And
Speaker 7: how often you switching stuff out.
Speaker 2: Every day, every day and it's only you.
Speaker 3: Nobody else touches it.
Speaker 2: They're not allowed to. Would you send me a Burnley
Speaker 2: patch and I'll put a question put up here on
Speaker 2: the front. Okay, now, explain this soccer bet that's going
Speaker 2: on here.
Speaker 3: Yeah. It was started as a literal joke.
Speaker 7: So like, obviously we talk to the guys on our
Speaker 7: team all the time and James Trafford, our keeper, was
Speaker 7: literally he'll be the England number one keeper someday, he's
Speaker 7: that good.
Speaker 3: And he messaged me one day.
Speaker 7: It was we were talking about the Steelers Bengals because
Speaker 7: obviously my brother plays on the Steelers, and he was
Speaker 7: messing with me and he said, hey, do you fancy
Speaker 7: coming out of retirement and playing for the Bengals, And so,
Speaker 7: being a smart ass, I said, yeah, you don't give
Speaker 7: up another goal the rest of the season, I'll come
Speaker 7: out of retirement play for the Bengals. There were twenty
Speaker 7: eight games left at the time. I was like, this
Speaker 7: is this is just a joke. Next game he didn't
Speaker 7: give up a goal. So I messaged him again and
Speaker 7: I said, hey, you were really taking this serious, huh?
Speaker 7: And he was like, I really want you to play
Speaker 7: for the Bengals. So two games later, two more games
Speaker 7: with no goals. Messaging back, I said, all right, it's
Speaker 7: getting a little ridiculous now, and you think you can
Speaker 7: make it the whole way, and he goes, how do
Speaker 7: you eat a whale one bite at a time? So
Speaker 7: just and now here we sit and we're thirteen games later,
Speaker 7: and he has not giving up.
Speaker 3: A goal in thirteen games. He is one. He's beaten
Speaker 3: every record along the way. There's only one record.
Speaker 7: Left that he hasn't broken in the history of English football,
Speaker 7: which is old as hell. He is setting records, so
Speaker 7: it's getting pretty serious. We've created a lot of claric
Speaker 7: fans in Cincinnati, Ohio, which is really cool. We're getting
Speaker 7: a lot bigger ratings and numbers from the Ohio region,
Speaker 7: so it's been really fun.
Speaker 2: Okay, do you have a game plan. Let's say he
Speaker 2: doesn't give up a goal.
Speaker 3: I'll do it.
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm if he does that, which is insane,
Speaker 7: I mean twelve thirteen games left. If he does it,
Speaker 7: it's insane enough and respectable enough that I will absolutely
Speaker 7: follow through and I'll go out there.
Speaker 3: Who knows they even want me? I don't even know.
Speaker 7: I haven't talked to him, but I'm in shape. I
Speaker 7: go play.
Speaker 2: But are you contractually You're not obligated to the Texans
Speaker 2: or anybody.
Speaker 7: No, No, I don't even know how. I didn't even
Speaker 7: think that far ahead. How do you un retired?
Speaker 3: Is there?
Speaker 7: I never filed retirement paperwork? So does that mean I
Speaker 7: have to? If I have to file paperwork to get.
Speaker 3: Back in, I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't know if they actually make you file retirement papers.
Speaker 3: I didn't, So no you don't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, damn, yeah, what would you do?
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, I'm technically I would assume I'm
Speaker 3: a free agent.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we need to work on that.
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, we're getting closer. It's it couldn't.
Speaker 7: He said they have two penalties in one game, which
Speaker 7: was insane. Our other defender, CJ. Egan Riley, he's a
Speaker 7: massive Bengals fan. So I'm I'm going to reach out
Speaker 7: to the Bengals here, and I got to at least
Speaker 7: get these guys some gear, you know, to reach out
Speaker 7: to Burrow and see if you'll sign a jersey form
Speaker 7: because they were actual big fans, which I don't understand that.
Speaker 2: How did that happen?
Speaker 3: I don't know I'm gonna ask him.
Speaker 7: I'm going over there in a couple of weeks, and
Speaker 7: I said, we're gonna we're gonna sit down and we're
Speaker 7: gonna talk through all this. How did how did the
Speaker 7: Bengals become the team that our defense rests on?
Speaker 2: Uh? Well, good luck with that, more importantly, good luck
Speaker 2: with the baby. And uh, I was great to talk
Speaker 2: to you. Thank you, buddy, thank you.
Speaker 3: I'll let them know they can get work over here.
Speaker 2: Sorry, that's JJ Watt.
