Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: Oh, we made it to a Friday. It's hour two
Speaker 2: on the program. Come on in stay a while. The
Speaker 2: Gang's all here. Friday, Fritzie and rare Form is always
Speaker 2: it is a meat Friday, and it feels like Tyler
Speaker 2: mailed it in a little bit here, at least according
Speaker 2: to Todd Burgers and waffle fries. Who has it better
Speaker 2: than we do? Nobody? Okay, it sounds a little better, yes, Paulie.
Speaker 3: I gotta tell you, though, I don't sleep on a
Speaker 3: great cheeseburger and fries, especially like if you did that
Speaker 3: meal for when you're on death row, people will go
Speaker 3: lobster and all that stuff.
Speaker 2: I might go.
Speaker 3: Half pound cheeseburger, fries and a doctor pepper is my
Speaker 3: jailhouse meal. I'm telling you thought, Oh yeah.
Speaker 2: A cheeseburger, doctor pepper and fries.
Speaker 3: Hey, I don't have to worry about my health going forward.
Speaker 3: You know, a block an hour that might be my
Speaker 3: jail meal. Dagn What about Utah jail house meal?
Speaker 2: Two well done.
Speaker 4: Burgers, two hot dogs, French fries, and either a Mountain
Speaker 4: dew or a Doctor Brown's black.
Speaker 3: Cherry you're gonna die of something else before the electric chair.
Speaker 4: Exact burgers, hot dogs, fries, and black cherry or mountain.
Speaker 2: Dew uh seating? What about you death row meal?
Speaker 5: Mm?
Speaker 6: Probably a Rabbi baked potato. I really like broccoli, so
Speaker 6: why not.
Speaker 2: And some mint.
Speaker 6: Chocolate chip ice cream. I'm not really worried about the healthy.
Speaker 6: I just actually like broccoli. I think it's really good,
Speaker 6: so probably do that, but definitely some mint chocolate chip
Speaker 6: ice cream.
Speaker 2: Marvin, how about.
Speaker 7: You lasagna and garlic bread? Would a lemonade, no ice?
Speaker 7: And then to finish that off a Swiss cake roll
Speaker 7: from Little Debbie.
Speaker 2: That's pretty specific. Have you thought about this? Apparently?
Speaker 7: Maybe once?
Speaker 2: Okay, I'd probably go steak some pesto. Nice wedge salad.
Speaker 6: The goat wedge salad is the best of all salads.
Speaker 6: If you get a great wedge salad. I mean, it's
Speaker 6: just one of those where you.
Speaker 2: Go, go, this is awesome. It's the best.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 2: And then I probably wash it down with a nice
Speaker 2: bottle of wine.
Speaker 6: It's funny, I've had your death row meal with you
Speaker 6: easily one hundred and fifty times, and it's pretty good.
Speaker 6: That's like anytime how many times in New Orleans when
Speaker 6: we're there for the Super Bowl? Will you have that
Speaker 6: exact same meal many times?
Speaker 2: If if, if I can, but pesto, pesto is just
Speaker 2: that's that's just different. If I can, if I can
Speaker 2: get it, if they can make it. I went to
Speaker 2: Augusta when I played Augusta, and you you can get
Speaker 2: whatever's on the menu. But they have a chef. He'll
Speaker 2: come out and you know, if you say, hey, i'd
Speaker 2: like to have And so he said, is there anything
Speaker 2: that's not on the menu that you might want? And
Speaker 2: I said, you know what, I won't be back at
Speaker 2: Augusta playing you know this golf course, so sure I'd
Speaker 2: like some pesto. And he looked at me like awesome,
Speaker 2: Like somebody is ordering something that you know I'd like
Speaker 2: to make. So steak pesto and eighteen holes at Augusta.
Speaker 2: That's not a bad way to go if they let
Speaker 2: you do something with your meal on death row, like
Speaker 2: you could do something, Hey, you're going to get this
Speaker 2: great meal. What else do you want to do that day?
Speaker 2: That might not be a bad way to go out.
Speaker 2: Play an eighteen at Augusta eight seven seven three DP
Speaker 2: show email address DP at Danpatrick dot com, Twitter handle
Speaker 2: at dp show Yes, Paul, that was very random. I
Speaker 2: was thinking about Marvin's dish.
Speaker 3: He would get lasagna, which is great for leftovers, but
Speaker 3: not necessarily in this case.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, you don't know if somebody's going around
Speaker 2: going any did he leave anything? Hey, I can't eat
Speaker 2: all of this. You guys want to freeze this? Put
Speaker 2: it an refrigerator? Yeah, be good?
Speaker 5: All right.
Speaker 2: Poll question Seaton for hour two is going to be what.
Speaker 6: Well our one are extremely specific. Poll question was Texans
Speaker 6: aside if the Lions reached the Super Bowl, who should
Speaker 6: they want to face?
Speaker 2: Right now?
Speaker 6: The Buffalo Bills have forty three percent of that vote,
Speaker 6: the Kansas City Chiefs at forty one, just sixteen percent
Speaker 6: of the Ravens.
Speaker 2: We'll talk to David carrb NFL Network. We'll do the
Speaker 2: must win game of the weekend, Mike Florio, Jason Garrett.
Speaker 2: We'll join us a little bit later on as well.
Speaker 2: The updated odds for this weekend. You have Saturday Texans Chiefs.
Speaker 2: The Chiefs are favored by eight and a half. Commander's
Speaker 2: Lions lines favored by eight and a half. Then on Sunday,
Speaker 2: it's the Eagles six point favorites and the Ravens and
Speaker 2: the Bills. The Ravens favored by one and a half.
Speaker 2: All right, we'll get to phone call coming up. We
Speaker 2: have a poll question here, Paulie, would you run through now?
Speaker 2: Let me see how many games are outside? So we
Speaker 2: have the Chiefs game outside, the Bills game outside, the
Speaker 2: Eagles game. So you have the Lions game. We don't
Speaker 2: have to worry about the weather, right any other game
Speaker 2: where weather could be an issue. I did check though.
Speaker 3: The Lions it will be seventy two and no wins
Speaker 3: inside it will be okay, there's actual temperature the Kansas
Speaker 3: City game. It should be twenty three degrees a kickoff
Speaker 3: and pretty breezy. No snow expected. The Eagles game. They're
Speaker 3: expecting three to five inches of snow during the day
Speaker 3: and dropping temperatures around game time. It could be the
Speaker 3: lowest twenty degrees with snow for the Eagles game. And
Speaker 3: then the Buffalo game. They're expecting twelve degrees a kickoff
Speaker 3: and a forty percent chance of snow.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, I like that. This will be the coldest
Speaker 2: game I believe Lamar Jackson has played in in his career.
Speaker 2: I don't know what that means. Does that mean there's
Speaker 2: more running by both of these teams? If it feels
Speaker 2: like these teams are running teams, even though Lamart put
Speaker 2: up incredible passing numbers, But it feels like Buffalo is
Speaker 2: a running team and they're probably going to need to
Speaker 2: be a running team. I don't think you can match
Speaker 2: Boltimore's running. But that's where Josh Allen comes in, and
Speaker 2: he'll be running and passing as well. I want to
Speaker 2: see Lamar Jackson play great if they lose, okay, but
Speaker 2: I want to see him play great. Same with Josh
Speaker 2: Allen play great. And then you know somebody else is
Speaker 2: going to decide that, or I hope somebody else does.
Speaker 2: Is it the defense, Is it a running back, Is
Speaker 2: it a wide receiver, is it a defensive back? Just
Speaker 2: something like that, because you get to this point, and
Speaker 2: Dana Orlovsky has been on this topic here for the
Speaker 2: last couple of weeks, where we put so much emphasis
Speaker 2: on a quarterback that when they, you know, team wins,
Speaker 2: they win. When the team loses, it's the quarterback who loses.
Speaker 2: But I would remind Dan that when quarterbacks win super Bowls,
Speaker 2: their team we talk about the quarterback winning the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: We don't talk about you know, oc Jumanjura with the
Speaker 2: Giants winning super Bowls, right, Nobody says that maybe a
Speaker 2: running back a little bit. Terrell Davis, you know that
Speaker 2: that was his super Bowl, but we gave it to John.
Speaker 2: It was John Elways won a couple of Super Bowls. So, yes,
Speaker 2: there is a lot of attention, a lot of pressure,
Speaker 2: a lot of criticism, a lot of compliments. That's the position.
Speaker 2: There's no other position like it in sports. We do
Speaker 2: that with pitchers when we get to the playoffs. Now
Speaker 2: that they but they have the ball in their hands,
Speaker 2: just like a quarterback does. They still need a team
Speaker 2: around them. Score some runs, play some defense, all of
Speaker 2: those things. But we give credit to these quarterbacks because
Speaker 2: the quarterbacks are the Sean O'Hara offensive lineman for the Giants,
Speaker 2: he got two super Bowls. I believe he's not going
Speaker 2: into the Hall of Fame. Nobody says, hey, Sean O'Hara,
Speaker 2: he won two super Bowls. I mean Eli won two
Speaker 2: Super bowl Eli's going into the Hall of Fame because
Speaker 2: he won two super Bowls. These guys are making fifty
Speaker 2: sixty million dollars a year, and with that comes all
Speaker 2: the attention whatever that is justin Herbert. We may not
Speaker 2: he may not like it, or people may not like
Speaker 2: it or feel like we're piling on. He played poorly.
Speaker 2: He played poor in two playoff games, and you have
Speaker 2: to single you have to, you know, be critical of that.
Speaker 2: You know, I think it's sometimes it's too easy to go, oh, well,
Speaker 2: the defense let him down or his wide receivers let Yes,
Speaker 2: but it still comes back to the quarterback. These wins
Speaker 2: and losses are on a quarterback.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 2: I go back to when the Falcons lost to the Patriots.
Speaker 2: We don't mention dan Quinn was the head coach. That
Speaker 2: was Kyle Shanahan, and that was Matt Ryan. They lost.
Speaker 2: Dan Quinn didn't lose the Super Bowl like but he did.
Speaker 2: He was the head coach. But it was on Kyle Shanahan. Oh,
Speaker 2: offensive genius, trying to pass, Why don't you just kick
Speaker 2: a field goal? Matt Ryan was MVP. It was on
Speaker 2: Matt Ryan. So yes, do we give him too much credit? Yes?
Speaker 2: Do we give him too much blame? Absolutely? Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 7: And if Matt Ryan wins that Super Bowl, he's probably
Speaker 7: in the Hall. But now it's going to be it, eh,
Speaker 7: because that twenty eight three is going to be hanging
Speaker 7: over his head like a sore thumb.
Speaker 2: Yes, it might keep him out. A win would put
Speaker 2: him in. So that's that's one player who truly benefits
Speaker 2: from that. And sometimes you know with coaches, where you go, oh,
Speaker 2: he won a couple of Super Bowls and that can
Speaker 2: be enough to get into a Hall of Fame. Like
Speaker 2: if Sean Payton would win another one, or Mike McCarthy
Speaker 2: won other one, then no doubt their Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin is probably going into the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2: It feels like his resume matches Bill Cowers. Yes, Mark,
Speaker 2: And I think also it depends on where you win.
Speaker 7: I think Sean Payton's already in because he won with
Speaker 7: the Saints, and when I was a kid, they were
Speaker 7: the Aints. Put a paper bag over your head in
Speaker 7: the super Dome. So I think it's where you win
Speaker 7: that helps also big time. Like if Jared Golf wins
Speaker 7: the Super Bowl for the Lions, that's gonna help his
Speaker 7: super Bowl cause unbelievably.
Speaker 2: Greatly, his Hall of Fame, his Hall of Fame.
Speaker 5: Case.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, absolutely, yeah, I agree, Yeah, Paul, Yeah.
Speaker 3: If you look at Eli Manning's career, he threw for
Speaker 3: fifty seven thousand yards and three hundred and sixty six touchdowns.
Speaker 3: Matt Ryan threw for sixty five thousand yards and three
Speaker 3: hundred and eighty one touchdowns. He was one twenty four
Speaker 3: and one oh nine as a starter. Eli was a
Speaker 3: five hundred starter if you compare him, just that, Matt
Speaker 3: Ryan had a distinctly better career. Regular season and you
Speaker 3: know Super Bowls. That's over, Johnny.
Speaker 2: If Eli is one in one in the Super Mike
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson, I don't think he's a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 2: I mean the fact that without David Tyree that catch
Speaker 2: and then Plexico Burris, he's not a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 2: I don't think even doing it in New York with
Speaker 2: that last name Griffin and Cincinnati, Hi Griff, Good morning.
Speaker 2: What's on your mind?
Speaker 5: Morning, Dan?
Speaker 8: And the dan etes Dan. I just wanted to get
Speaker 8: your thoughts on Don Yee saying that Tom Brady plans
Speaker 8: to finish out his contract with Fox, even though there's
Speaker 8: been a lot of chatter that this could be just
Speaker 8: a one.
Speaker 2: And done deal.
Speaker 8: And if you could put yourself in Greg Olsen's shoes.
Speaker 8: How would you take the news and what would be
Speaker 8: your next step?
Speaker 5: Thanks? Dan?
Speaker 2: All right, thank you, Griff. Tom Brady's Tom Brady's agent.
Speaker 2: I was told this this morning. Now, whether it's going
Speaker 2: to happen, he has to put out fires, That's what
Speaker 2: that comment was. He's putting out a fire, and maybe
Speaker 2: Tom does it for ten years. I was told it's
Speaker 2: too much money for a part time job for him
Speaker 2: to walk away. I was told that my source this morning.
Speaker 2: And look, I couldn't care less. If he wants to
Speaker 2: do it, great. Is he learning on the job in
Speaker 2: front of a whole lot of people?
Speaker 5: He is?
Speaker 2: Does he enjoy it? Does he want to continue? If
Speaker 2: I'm Greg Olsen, I just continued to do what I'm
Speaker 2: doing because you're the underdog, and people will they're going
Speaker 2: to think fondly of you, and they'll be excited. Probably
Speaker 2: when you're doing a game, they'll be by, Oh, greg
Speaker 2: Olsen's doing the game. But I don't. If Tom is
Speaker 2: doing it and doesn't want to commit full time to
Speaker 2: the Raiders job, okay, if he can do both, great.
Speaker 2: The NFL has already said we're looking the other way
Speaker 2: with conflict of interest here. They've already said that. I
Speaker 2: mean they are saying it by allowing Tom to be
Speaker 2: an announcer. And you got Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn
Speaker 2: who are probably going to be interviewed by the Raiders
Speaker 2: or held in high esteem with the Raiders for their
Speaker 2: head coaching vacancy and Tom is there doing the game.
Speaker 2: Feels like a conflict of interest there. But if the
Speaker 2: NFL is going to let him do it, he is
Speaker 2: getting paid thirty seven million dollars for just doing that
Speaker 2: part time basis, and maybe he does it for a
Speaker 2: little while longer. I thought, maybe you do it, prove
Speaker 2: that you can do it. You did a Super Bowl,
Speaker 2: and then maybe you move on to other things. But
Speaker 2: I don't know Tom, you know what motivates him. I
Speaker 2: just felt, if you're going to be an owner, and
Speaker 2: now you're getting the keys to being that owner with
Speaker 2: the Raiders, then you go all in. I don't think
Speaker 2: you can do either part time, but you have a
Speaker 2: better chance of being an announcer part time. It feels
Speaker 2: like than if you want to be all in as
Speaker 2: an owner. Because the Raiders need a lot of help.
Speaker 2: We'll talk to David Carr former number one overall pick.
Speaker 2: We have the most must win game of the weekend
Speaker 2: as well. We'll take a break. We're back after this

Speaker 2: win game of the weekend game coming up here in
Speaker 2: a little bit. Also an update, I did not buy
Speaker 2: my auger yesterday. I'm going to buy my auger today
Speaker 2: this afternoon. As I was held up. I had to
Speaker 2: do some things so I couldn't go out and spend
Speaker 2: time getting my auger. And auger is used to cut
Speaker 2: a hole in the ice if you want to go
Speaker 2: ice fishing or you just want to test to see
Speaker 2: how thick the ice is as well. But getting the
Speaker 2: augur later today and frozen lake Margarita's whoa, yes, So
Speaker 2: you use the auger, you take the ice, and then
Speaker 2: you make your frozen margarita while you're on the ice. Also,
Speaker 2: oysters rock of cooked on the ice today? No way, no, buddy. Yes, Paulie,
Speaker 2: did you and your.
Speaker 3: Wife get in an argument yesterday?
Speaker 2: Yeah? No, chainsaw. I promised no chainsaw, but I'm going
Speaker 2: to go and get my auger later on. Today he's
Speaker 2: David Carr. You can see him throughout NFL Network Super
Speaker 2: Bowl Week coverage beginning Monday, February third, the former number
Speaker 2: one overall pick joining us on the program. What was
Speaker 2: the craziest thing in your contract that you were forbidden
Speaker 2: to do when you were playing.
Speaker 5: Us? Was not drive a tractor? And I had thought
Speaker 5: to myself, I would never I would never see a
Speaker 5: reason to be on tractor. I grew up in the
Speaker 5: social valley, but I just still I'm glad you actually
Speaker 5: took the time to define auger because I was sitting
Speaker 5: here and I had no idea what that was. So
Speaker 5: that sounds fun to me. I did ice fish in
Speaker 5: Minnesota at the Super Bowl one year with Glendsay was
Speaker 5: on the NFL Network and that was actually a blast.
Speaker 5: So enjoy your time today. That sounds fun.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you, Thank you, David. That's the only reason
Speaker 2: I wanted to have you on is find out if
Speaker 2: there was anything in your in your contract you weren't
Speaker 2: allowed to do. Was it written that you couldn't drive
Speaker 2: a tractor?
Speaker 5: There were several things in there that were very strange,
Speaker 5: and I think eventually the NFL finally figured out that
Speaker 5: guys are going to do kind of strange things in
Speaker 5: the off season. These guys have a little bit extra money,
Speaker 5: they have a lot of free time their kids. So
Speaker 5: they eventually went to like a blanket statement, if you
Speaker 5: get hurt doing anything outside of playing football, then that's it.
Speaker 5: And so that's kind of eventually what they went to.
Speaker 2: All right, let me start with the underdogs on Saturday.
Speaker 2: How did the Texans beat the Chiefs?
Speaker 5: You know, historically to beat Kansas City, it's you play
Speaker 5: shell coverage and you get after them with their front.
Speaker 5: You know, when you watch them play a couple weeks ago,
Speaker 5: Pat really was able to make some run. His legs
Speaker 5: didn't really have much, you know, down the field, so
Speaker 5: they had some opportunities to hit some plays they missed him,
Speaker 5: but he was able to break down the defense with
Speaker 5: his legs, and so I think that that that was
Speaker 5: really if you're if you're the Texans got to feel
Speaker 5: pretty good about that.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 5: They they held Josh Allen to nine completions. So this
Speaker 5: this Texans defense is it is not you know, it's
Speaker 5: not as bad as people might think. You look at
Speaker 5: their their team in general, and you think, oh, well
Speaker 5: they're taking a step back, and the CD he's not
Speaker 5: playing as well. Really, they just they kind of put
Speaker 5: too much on his plate. When I when I look
Speaker 5: at it, how they played offensive football last year, it
Speaker 5: was through the run game and play action pass, and
Speaker 5: Bobby Slow did a good job mixing that up and
Speaker 5: kind of keeping a balance. And when I watched him
Speaker 5: the first half last week, it was way too much
Speaker 5: drop back pass. I mean, it's just it's too much.
Speaker 5: And fortunately for them, they had the lead in the
Speaker 5: second half and they said, well, we're going to run
Speaker 5: the ball, and they ran the offense they should have
Speaker 5: been running, you know, the entire game and really the
Speaker 5: entire year, and they actually played better. So hopefully that
Speaker 5: kind of woke him up a little bit, like we
Speaker 5: have a pretty good defense. We can keep everything in
Speaker 5: front of us. You got to kind of withstand the
Speaker 5: first fifteen plays of what the Chiefs do that's to
Speaker 5: haudly won games this year. Honestly, they've got out on
Speaker 5: people and then you have Andy Reid you know, a
Speaker 5: week and those numbers kind of speak either twenty one
Speaker 5: force ins Philly with off week. So if you can
Speaker 5: withstand that initial surge and not let them get fourteen
Speaker 5: or twenty one points on you, then you got a chance. Man.
Speaker 5: But you got to play balance. You have to keeping
Speaker 5: in front of you. On defense, you got to get
Speaker 5: after Pat and then you have to you have to
Speaker 5: be affeccion efficient on offense, and that that means not
Speaker 5: dropping back to pass and putting your quarterback in harms way.
Speaker 5: I mean, you made a see you made a huge
Speaker 5: play the other day to kind of spark them off
Speaker 5: of like a fumbled snap. But let's not rely on
Speaker 5: that stuff. You got Joe Mixing for a reason. Let's
Speaker 5: use him.
Speaker 2: It's weird to say this. It feels like the Lions
Speaker 2: are under more pressure than the Chiefs. Does that feel good?
Speaker 5: Point?
Speaker 2: Is that fair to say?
Speaker 5: Well? I think I think stylistically, when you look at
Speaker 5: what Jayden does and what what Cliff likes to do
Speaker 5: on offense, the you the quarterback in the run game
Speaker 5: so well, and he breaks the defense down. And when
Speaker 5: you play man coverage like Aaron Glenn, my former teammate
Speaker 5: in Houston, he's done a great job. I mean he's aggressive,
Speaker 5: he trusts his corners, but they play a lot of
Speaker 5: man coverage, and if you're gonna do that, you got
Speaker 5: to you got to be aware of the quarterback because
Speaker 5: if you don't put anybody on him, he's gonna he's
Speaker 5: gonna give you a problem. And all it takes is
Speaker 5: a couple of big plays, especially in a playoff game,
Speaker 5: to spark a team, especially a team that's in an
Speaker 5: underdog role, like don't let the quarterback run three or
Speaker 5: four times, and and sparked this entire team to give
Speaker 5: them hope. So I would agree with you. I think
Speaker 5: they're under a lot more pressure just from a style standpoint.
Speaker 5: So Aaron's gonna have to do some pretty unique things
Speaker 5: because that offense can give you trouble. It's not just
Speaker 5: to historically run the ball and the quarterbacks just bought
Speaker 5: a ticket and he's watching the running back run and
Speaker 5: this is he's involved in the run game. So I
Speaker 5: think that's I think that's gonna keep airing up a
Speaker 5: couple of nights this week trying to figure out if
Speaker 5: we got everything covered from a defensive perspective.
Speaker 2: And part of the reason why I brought up the
Speaker 2: pressure on the Lions is so close last year they're
Speaker 2: going to lose their coordinators. It feels like, now, I
Speaker 2: know they have everybody signed up here for for uh,
Speaker 2: you know, the next few years, but it just feels
Speaker 2: like this is the evolution. This is you lost in
Speaker 2: the title game. Now you're supposed to be going to
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl, and you know, like San Francisco, the
Speaker 2: same thing. You get that up, you know, but that
Speaker 2: window of opportunity can close pretty quickly. Sunday. How do
Speaker 2: the Rams beat the Eagles?
Speaker 5: Well, the Rams are at ten and two when Stafford
Speaker 5: starts a game this year. So they did like the
Speaker 5: reverse of what teams like, you know, the Dolphins of
Speaker 5: the same or like any of these teams they got injured,
Speaker 5: injury plagued and their entire rosters on ir they did
Speaker 5: the reverse. They kind of started hurt and they built
Speaker 5: up and kind of got everybody back, and you know, defensively,
Speaker 5: that's that's the best part about the Rams because they
Speaker 5: have Jared Versus. I watched him at Porta State and
Speaker 5: I just remember taking notes on him from you know,
Speaker 5: watching him for the draft. But this guy's a grown
Speaker 5: man already and he's very very football savvy, and all
Speaker 5: those guys across the board are They use a lot
Speaker 5: of line stunts and movement. They even stole some stuff
Speaker 5: from Aaron Glenn last week to kind of get pressure
Speaker 5: on Minnesota and kind of disrupt Sam. But they're playing
Speaker 5: great on defense and then offensively they're more balanced. But
Speaker 5: the crazy contrast and just even that last game like
Speaker 5: this is why I think the Rams have a real chances.
Speaker 5: They tried to pressure Stafford just like Sam Donald was
Speaker 5: under pressure and and Matt played great. He got the
Speaker 5: ball in his hand, he's effective, he got the ball
Speaker 5: where it had to be, and the guy can still
Speaker 5: play a high level. So I'm not going to count
Speaker 5: them out. The experience matter, especially on the road. Philly
Speaker 5: is going to be a tough out. I mean, because
Speaker 5: it's one and lost in the trenches. That's the one thing,
Speaker 5: you know, I watched, I watched, you know, just obviously
Speaker 5: the Saints go to Dallas and just run all over
Speaker 5: the Cowboys, and then the next week they played Philly
Speaker 5: and they ran into a brick wall. So that's I
Speaker 5: think that's the one equalizer is is vic Fangio's defensive
Speaker 5: line is really really solid and they do a good
Speaker 5: job and Kiren is really trying to take the loan
Speaker 5: as far as the Rams offense as far as you know,
Speaker 5: giving them positive yardage and if they can stop the
Speaker 5: run there and put it in Matt's hands, then he's
Speaker 5: going to have to make He's gonna have to make
Speaker 5: twenty five great throws to beat that team. So it's
Speaker 5: it's a challenge. But you know, their their offense in
Speaker 5: Philly isn't exactly you know, exciting everyone as far as
Speaker 5: away from Saquon Barkley, I mean Ajed Brown. Look when
Speaker 5: my wife brings a book somewhere, she's not interested. Okay,
Speaker 5: So when A J. Brown's on the sideline reading a book,
Speaker 5: I mean there's some there's some issues. So we'll see. Man,
Speaker 5: if they can make it one dimensional, they got a chance.
Speaker 2: Would that bother you as a teammate if you were
Speaker 2: the starting quarterback and you look over and one of
Speaker 2: your receivers is reading a book.
Speaker 5: Well, I mean they have tablets. Now you can like
Speaker 5: look at the plays with me. You know, we can
Speaker 5: we can sit here and figure out how we can
Speaker 5: get you space. I understand, like I when I saw it,
Speaker 5: I'd get it. Because the guys all have different ways
Speaker 5: to get them. I was locked in, Like, mentally, football
Speaker 5: is hard enough, right, so you have to find a
Speaker 5: way to from a wide receiver standpoint, stay stay locked
Speaker 5: in because I would rather him do that than make
Speaker 5: a scene on the sideline and scream with everybody because
Speaker 5: he's not getting the ball. I mean, I've we've seen
Speaker 5: that before too, So yeah, it's a little strange. The
Speaker 5: best part was when they asked Jalen Hurts about it,
Speaker 5: and he's like, I've never even seen him read like, well,
Speaker 5: all right, that's there might be a little beat there still,
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 2: He's David Carr, NFL Network analyst. Why are the Buffalo
Speaker 2: Bills an underdog?
Speaker 5: It's it's it's scheme again. When you look at what
Speaker 5: Baltimore was able to do at Pittsburgh, I thought that
Speaker 5: was going to be a harder challenge for how they
Speaker 5: want to run the ball, you know what, kind of
Speaker 5: in their own runs with the three down defensive front,
Speaker 5: with those outside linebackers, they can kind of do a
Speaker 5: lot of different things. I thought that would be a
Speaker 5: tougher look for them. But from a scheme standpoint, this
Speaker 5: is a scary matchup for Buffalo because you know, Lamar
Speaker 5: was already danger enough, but now you have Dereck Henry,
Speaker 5: who when he was in Tennessee he faced more loaded
Speaker 5: boxes anybody in history. Like there's there there's one extra
Speaker 5: guy down there, because there just has to be. And
Speaker 5: if you don't have a conscious effort to stop him
Speaker 5: with extra hats, and he can he can take he
Speaker 5: can take like two or three steps and get some
Speaker 5: speed going. It's hard to stop him, you know, with
Speaker 5: the size that he has. And so but now you
Speaker 5: have this offensive system that I mean, Lamar's out out
Speaker 5: pocket passing pocket passers and so okay, he's gonna do
Speaker 5: that on top of Derreck Henry's in the backfield. And
Speaker 5: now it's not just like him like in the pistol
Speaker 5: running downhill. They got him next to him in the shotgun,
Speaker 5: which they kind of struggled with early in the year,
Speaker 5: but they found a real comfort level with him. And
Speaker 5: so for Buffalo at home, like it's it's still difficult
Speaker 5: because they want to play shell. They want to play
Speaker 5: shell defense, they want to rush for they want to
Speaker 5: keep everything in front of him. And that's that sounds
Speaker 5: great if you're facing a team that wants to take
Speaker 5: big shots and you know, you kind of want to
Speaker 5: get get the ball back and put it in Josh hands,
Speaker 5: but this team will just pound you like they'll they
Speaker 5: have no problem doing that. And Lamar is smart when
Speaker 5: he runs, doesn't take a lot of big shots, so
Speaker 5: Buffalo's gonna have to score with him, and Josh doesn't
Speaker 5: necessarily have Derek Henry next to him, so it's gonna
Speaker 5: have to be He's gonna throw the cape on every
Speaker 5: once in a while and make these superhero plays. And
Speaker 5: we've seen that go. You know, We've seen I go
Speaker 5: two different ways, you know at times. So he's been
Speaker 5: better this year's and more efficient. He's throwing the ball well.
Speaker 5: But he's gonna have to play a great game to
Speaker 5: be Baltimore.
Speaker 2: We as fans get caught up when we see snow
Speaker 2: or where we see a player's breadth that it's so
Speaker 2: cold there. How much of an effect do you think
Speaker 2: it really has that we might see snow in Philadelphia,
Speaker 2: maybe in Buffalo, cold weather in Kansas City. So it
Speaker 2: is a former quarterback, how much is that or should
Speaker 2: that affect you?
Speaker 5: Yeah, cold isn't fun, you know, but guys nowadays, like
Speaker 5: I talked to Derek a couple of years ago about this.
Speaker 5: He went up Pittsburgh played a great game. They throw
Speaker 5: like four hundred yards and like, dude, were not cold.
Speaker 5: He's like, I got a triathlon suit on under here,
Speaker 5: Like what And now now now that the secret's out
Speaker 5: for me, like I used to just have to deal
Speaker 5: with it. We had cotton shirts and we were freezing
Speaker 5: at all times. So I hated it and I don't
Speaker 5: like to play in it. You know. Now I will say,
Speaker 5: guys move, guys move slower. So really you think you
Speaker 5: can run the ball well, and you can, and guys
Speaker 5: don't want to really tackle guys like Derrick Henry and stuff.
Speaker 5: But but I think you can actually if if it's
Speaker 5: a little snow, yeah, you know, you can throw the ball.
Speaker 5: I think more than people think. I actually had. Brett
Speaker 5: Farve actually was the one that told me that. He's like, hey,
Speaker 5: when it's when it's snowing out there, dvs don't want
Speaker 5: to move there, you know. So there's an element to that.
Speaker 5: But it's still uncomfortable. Man, it's not fun. I mean,
Speaker 5: I it's beautiful on TV. And that's actually when my
Speaker 5: wife stops reading a book it's with snowing on the field,
Speaker 5: so she'll watch those games, so hopefully we get a
Speaker 5: little bit of that.
Speaker 2: If you were Dion Sanders and you were offered the
Speaker 2: Cowboys job, what would you do?
Speaker 5: Let's go? I mean, why not? This is Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 5: So I don't I don't necessar necessarily know that that's
Speaker 5: the best thing. But I think I think does He
Speaker 5: does a lot of things that you could probably rub
Speaker 5: you away, But I think what he does is he
Speaker 5: puts a good staff around him, Like he reminds me
Speaker 5: of Dan Campbell in that way, because he is smart
Speaker 5: enough to understand that he can't micromanage everything. He's he's
Speaker 5: the leader, he's gonna be the emotional guy, and honestly,
Speaker 5: that you can do in Dallas than having someone with
Speaker 5: some energy and a guy that can kind of bring
Speaker 5: some life to that locker room because he's gonna put
Speaker 5: great coaches around him and he's gonna do what he
Speaker 5: can to motivate these guys and give him to play
Speaker 5: at their at their best. So not he took bad
Speaker 5: job at all, No way. I think it'd be great.
Speaker 2: Good to talk to you as always, David. Hopefully we'll
Speaker 2: see you in New Orleans. Thanks for joining us.
Speaker 5: Thanks buddy, Enjoy the auger.
Speaker 2: That's David Carr. You can catch him throughout the NFL
Speaker 2: Network Super Bowl we coverage Monday, February third Squeeze in
Speaker 2: a couple of phone calls. We also have most months
Speaker 2: win Game of the weekend, Sean, and Oregon is back. Hi, Sean,
Speaker 2: what do you have for me today?
Speaker 11: Hey?
Speaker 5: Dan?
Speaker 8: I got a suggestion for a poll question, and I
Speaker 8: think about things a little different. I put some thought
Speaker 8: into it a little bit, sometimes at least thirty seconds
Speaker 8: here and there. And I've seen what was going on
Speaker 8: with the Eagles and the Packers situation, with the fan
Speaker 8: base and those fans getting into it. What would people
Speaker 8: think about a dress code? It's where when you go
Speaker 8: in somebody stadium, you don't have to see opposing people
Speaker 8: people were opposing teams gear. I mean, I don't know
Speaker 8: how many season ticket holders and people go to a
Speaker 8: game want to see people walking in there with people
Speaker 8: wearing opposing team's gear. I think that would solve a
Speaker 8: lot of problems. They can come in there, I don't
Speaker 8: care what they care, what they do, who they root for.
Speaker 8: We don't want to see that stuff. We don't want
Speaker 8: to see your apparel. We don't want to see your
Speaker 8: gear in there.
Speaker 2: Well, you want to fly the colors. I agree with you.
Speaker 2: I've been in so I've seen so many situations where
Speaker 2: somebody will wear the opposing team's jersey. I've been at
Speaker 2: baseball games. I've been at football stadiums and people throw beers,
Speaker 2: they throw things. They make sure that they have an
Speaker 2: uncomfortable afternoon. You see people get blindsided in the parking lot.
Speaker 2: I mean it's ugly at times. And my son's a
Speaker 2: Packers fan. He wanted to go to a game in
Speaker 2: Philadelphia or the Jets or something. I said, nope, don't,
Speaker 2: don't fly the colors goes. Why not? I said, just don't,
Speaker 2: just don't. There's always going to be one person. And
Speaker 2: even Gus in La Gus in La went and he's
Speaker 2: a Steeler fan, went to the Eagles game and he said,
Speaker 2: as he's walking in the stadium with his Troy Palomalo
Speaker 2: jersey on, a guy came out of nowhere and was
Speaker 2: going to punch him in the face. And Gus is
Speaker 2: a big guy, he's bodyguard. But you just never know.
Speaker 2: Somebody gets a little in their cups and it's unfortunate,
Speaker 2: but you gone to those days where you go people
Speaker 2: used to go and suit and ties to baseball games
Speaker 2: in the summer. I mean, don't wear your uniforms, don't
Speaker 2: wear your jerseys, but if you do, just beware.
Speaker 3: Yeah, PAULI yeah, it's like something in theory. You would
Speaker 3: love to be able to create a rule like that,
Speaker 3: but no one can follow it. And the NFL would
Speaker 3: never create a rule that opposing fans couldn't wear gear
Speaker 3: because that would hurt them in sales. But it's also
Speaker 3: one of those things. You should be allowed to go
Speaker 3: to a game and be left alone. But there's no
Speaker 3: security in the tailgate lot, there's no security when you're
Speaker 3: walking in in the stadium.
Speaker 2: You're generally safe, but you could have something underneath so
Speaker 2: they could say, oh, he's got a a generic hoodie on.
Speaker 2: Then you get in there, all of a sudden your
Speaker 2: team scores, and then you all of a sudden you
Speaker 2: have your T shirt on. I mean, is it worth it?
Speaker 6: Yes, he'd well, I think I get that this is
Speaker 6: a little idealistic of me, But you know the problem
Speaker 6: isn't the person wearing the shirt. No, no, you know,
Speaker 6: so saying to that person well, it's your fault you
Speaker 6: wore it. Here is kind of the exact opposite of
Speaker 6: how you actually solve the problem.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't. We shouldn't put blame on the person
Speaker 2: who's wearing in the opposing team's jersey. But I think
Speaker 2: you got to be aware of the situation that's going
Speaker 2: to trigger something that you can be part of. You're
Speaker 2: not to blame, but you could be the victim with this,
Speaker 2: And I think it's just it's tough to tell people
Speaker 2: not to do that. There's certain stadiums that I would
Speaker 2: not do that, and I would not want my kids
Speaker 2: to go in there and wear jersey.
Speaker 6: Yes, he'd there was just an example of it with
Speaker 6: the Eagles Packers.
Speaker 2: I think, yeah and yeah.
Speaker 6: The internet has become such a funny place that within
Speaker 6: three hours of that game being over, the guy who
Speaker 6: was being super aggressive was found out.
Speaker 2: By the next day he had lost his job, and by.
Speaker 6: The day after that he had updated his LinkedIn to
Speaker 6: say that he's looking for work.
Speaker 2: That's exactly the way that you go about this.
Speaker 6: That's exactly the way that when people start to realize
Speaker 6: I bought this ticket, so that gives me the right
Speaker 6: to do anything I want whilst on these grounds that's
Speaker 6: actually not the case. And so the more that you
Speaker 6: out people like that and then yeah, get them fired
Speaker 6: from their job, get them to lose their house, get
Speaker 6: them to do whatever. Great, Absolutely, now you don't act
Speaker 6: that way anymore.
Speaker 2: We'll take a break when we come back, more phone
Speaker 2: calls the most must win game of the weekend. As
Speaker 2: we slide into the weekend after this.

Speaker 2: social media platforms. Here's something to keep an eye on.
Speaker 2: I don't know if it'll happen this postseason, but it could.
Speaker 2: The most receiving yards in playoff history. Jerry Rice is
Speaker 2: the leader twenty two hundred forty five yards. Travis Kelcey
Speaker 2: is three hundred and forty three yards away from breaking
Speaker 2: that record. Third on the list of most playoff receiving
Speaker 2: yards for a wide receiver. Paul Julian Edelman blue blue, blue,
Speaker 2: You did Yeah, you did it. That wasn't arousing round
Speaker 2: of applause? Was PAULI applauding for himself there? Receiving receiving touchdowns?
Speaker 2: Jerry Rice has twenty two in the postseason. Travis Kelcey
Speaker 2: has nineteen teen, who is third on the list most
Speaker 2: receiving touchdowns in the playoffs. Marvin Julian Edelman, No, Seaton
Speaker 2: got a guess for me. Is it for a wide
Speaker 2: receiver or is it just in general? It's in general?
Speaker 2: Rob Gronkowski bloop, Yeah, who said that? We're dumb? Lots
Speaker 2: of people, Oh, that's right. There are a lot of people,

Speaker 2: mobile tire installation. Tirect dot com The way tire buying
Speaker 2: should be. We'll play the most must win game of
Speaker 2: the weekend. In a moment here, let me run down
Speaker 2: the best games Texans and the Chiefs. The Chiefs won
Speaker 2: this matchup back in December twenty seven to nineteen, but
Speaker 2: the Texans were going toe to toe with them. Commanders
Speaker 2: at the Lions. The Lions defense has struggled at times
Speaker 2: due to injuries, and we've seen Jayden Daniels put up
Speaker 2: five touchdown passes against an Eagles defense. In Week sixteen
Speaker 2: Rams at the Eagles, Saquon Barkley had two fifty five
Speaker 2: on the ground, ninth most in NFL history. First time
Speaker 2: around with these two, the over under is one twelve
Speaker 2: and a half for Saquon Barkley. I'm going under Ravens
Speaker 2: and the Bills. Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen.
Speaker 2: That'll be. That's how it'll end up with the MVP race.
Speaker 2: The question is who can pull off this win in
Speaker 2: the Divisional round. Also, college basketball, number four Alabama will
Speaker 2: be at number eight Kentucky. Alabama is fourteen and three.
Speaker 2: By the way, John Calipari I believe is still winless
Speaker 2: in the SEC. At Arkansas. Time to play the most
Speaker 2: must win game of the weekend. Todd I'll start with you,
Speaker 2: if you're ready to go. Your most must win game is.
Speaker 4: I believe the Detroit Lions must win this game. They
Speaker 4: must win the whole thing, especially with their coordinators losing.
Speaker 4: They're going up against a rookie quarterback. You've better win
Speaker 4: that game against the Commanders.
Speaker 2: Seaton no counter the mm W got w.
Speaker 6: I think this whole season is a referendum on Lamar
Speaker 6: Jackson in his career. Every game moving forward to this,
Speaker 6: it's obvious these are all must win. He has to
Speaker 6: come away from ideally this season with a ring.
Speaker 2: He has to What if he just gets to the
Speaker 2: super Bowl?
Speaker 6: All right, that'll help, That'll definitely help for sure, for sure,
Speaker 6: Marvin mm W goot W.
Speaker 7: I'm with Fritzie. I'm going to the Detroit Lions. They've
Speaker 7: been the best team in the NFL all season in
Speaker 7: the LOS This game against Jane Dames in an upstart
Speaker 7: command that would be a terrible look.
Speaker 2: Paulie.
Speaker 3: It's the Lions. They can't regress, they can't bounce this early.
Speaker 3: They need to appear in a super Bowl to take
Speaker 3: a step forward. The other thing is if they don't
Speaker 3: win this weekend, they're offense and defensive coordinators, they're easier
Speaker 3: to hire.
Speaker 2: They're more likely to be gone. Oh a whamie they
Speaker 2: called it. Yeah, yeah, you'll you'll be able to interview
Speaker 2: them in person after this if they happen to bow out.
Speaker 2: I think it's Lamar Jackson. It's a person. But it's
Speaker 2: the Lions the team. I don't think they're the best team.
Speaker 2: I think the Eagles are the best team. Best team
Speaker 2: doesn't always win, but I do think that the Lions
Speaker 2: with everything they've overcome. And Dan Campbell's done a wonderful
Speaker 2: job and he's going to lose his coordinators. But we
Speaker 2: keep saying, you know, these teams are built built for
Speaker 2: the long haul. It closes quickly. You had the opportunity
Speaker 2: last year, you were up big and you let it
Speaker 2: slip away. You have to win these homes. That's why
Speaker 2: your home field advantage, and it is a true advantage
Speaker 2: in Detroit with that fan base. You have to win
Speaker 2: this game and then you're gonna have home field advantage
Speaker 2: after that. A couple of phone calls in here James
