Speaker 1: Sports Radio Hour two.
Speaker 2: On this Monday back in the home man Cave. Glad
Speaker 2: to have you along. If you're watching on Peacock or
Speaker 2: NBC Sports Network, or listening on our radio affiliates around
Speaker 2: the country or the podcast. Thank you for joining us.
Speaker 2: Gangs all here. The Minister of humor, Fritz, who did
Speaker 2: a wonderful job with the guest list in San Francisco seating,
Speaker 2: is here. Marv Paula, yours truly in the backroom, guys
Speaker 2: as well. Saturday Day has always brought to you by
Speaker 2: Panini America, the official trading cards of The Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 2: Keep your friends Close and your neighbor's closer. Kehe Palmer
Speaker 2: Stars in the Burbs, a new original series streaming now
Speaker 2: only on Peacock eight seven to seven three DP. Show
Speaker 2: operator Tyler sitting by. He'll take your phone calls and
Speaker 2: we'll talk to Ross Tucker. Ross was working the Super
Speaker 2: Bowl last night, took a red eye, and getting off
Speaker 2: the plane this morning, said that he'll be ready to
Speaker 2: join us in about twenty minutes from now. Spend a
Speaker 2: lot of time talking about what happened last night. Bill
Speaker 2: Cower the Hall of Famer joined us as we broke
Speaker 2: down what happened with Seattle and what didn't happen with
Speaker 2: New England. And I know that there are football players,
Speaker 2: former football players who look at kickers and go they're
Speaker 2: not really football players. Well, the kickers helped win you
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl last night. Jason Myers had five field
Speaker 2: goals and scoring the first twelve points of the game.
Speaker 2: Keep in mind this is a guy who's been in
Speaker 2: the NFL for eleven years. He's the first player to
Speaker 2: score two hundred points in a season playoffs included. He
Speaker 2: finished with two oh six. Ladanian Tomlinson had the previous
Speaker 2: record in two thousand and six of one hundred and
Speaker 2: ninety eight.
Speaker 3: Stand a day, Stana Day, stant outa day, Stannata Day.
Speaker 2: This is the stant of the Day, brought to you
Speaker 2: by Pandi America. The holder for Jason Myers is Michael Dixon,
Speaker 2: who is the punter and he was incredible. He's an
Speaker 2: Australian born kicker. Three punts inside the six yard lines,
Speaker 2: so that can be the difference momentum and flipping the field,
Speaker 2: keeping New England with their backs against their goalpost and
Speaker 2: they could never recover because you limit your play calling
Speaker 2: when you're inside the five, and he did that a
Speaker 2: couple of times. So we tend to look at the
Speaker 2: kickers as okay, they're kind of a necessary evil. But
Speaker 2: those two last night, they were weapons. That was the
Speaker 2: best offensive weapon that Seattle had, aside from Kenneth Walker Junior,
Speaker 2: the third, who was wonderful some big plays. He had
Speaker 2: those moments where you go, how's he going to get
Speaker 2: around the edge, and he did it was very deceptive
Speaker 2: his speed and they kept going to him and he
Speaker 2: had a couple of big chunk plays and you know,
Speaker 2: the offense did just enough because the defense did more
Speaker 2: than enough to have that impressive performance. Yeah, Seaton.
Speaker 4: Having a punter do that regularly is like it's like
Speaker 4: having somebody in your friend group who does magic tricks
Speaker 4: or something where you're like, wow, that's awesome. At some
Speaker 4: point we're gonna need this. I don't really know when,
Speaker 4: but I'm glad that you can do it.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: You know, I had a friend in New York City,
Speaker 6: Pete Pete the juggler we called him. He was a
Speaker 6: professional juggler. He was in commercials and he had an agent,
Speaker 6: and you think, well that can't really help. But we'd
Speaker 6: be at bar sometimes and he would start juggling, and
Speaker 6: the girls would come over and we get Pete the
Speaker 6: juggler spill over. So it does work, like.
Speaker 2: Seton says, hmm, okay, all right, I never had a
Speaker 2: juggler with me and the bar. It helps, Yeah, apparently
Speaker 2: juggler spillover. Who knew there was juggler spill over?
Speaker 6: It helps.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you get a.
Speaker 6: Couple of lines from behind the bar, and next thing
Speaker 6: you know.
Speaker 2: He's he's juggling the lines, yes.
Speaker 6: With one hand.
Speaker 2: Okay, Pete the juggler. These uh, these women were easily entertained. Apparently,
Speaker 2: Hey we needed that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's when you see that, you immediately know that
Speaker 4: that person spent a lot of time as a kid
Speaker 4: board in their room.
Speaker 2: Yes, you know, like that's so what did you do?
Speaker 4: Oh, you spent a lot of time bored by yourself
Speaker 4: in your room just juggling balled up socks.
Speaker 6: Yes, Paul, But he was like a good looking dude.
Speaker 6: He was like tall and good looking. So he had
Speaker 6: an agent as a juggler, and he went on like
Speaker 6: letterman and juggled. He filled in. Remember that Pete Sampress
Speaker 6: Wimbledon commercial where he's juggling tennis rackets. Pete the juggler
Speaker 6: did it for Pete Sampres. Hmm, that's pretty cool they'd
Speaker 6: paid the juggle.
Speaker 2: What's the poll question for hour two? See how hot
Speaker 2: are jugglers?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Smoking hot? Or I think if there's fire involved, or
Speaker 2: there is like machetes, chainsaws, then I'm impressed because I
Speaker 2: can juggle. Like if you give me three tennis balls,
Speaker 2: you can.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you spent a lot of time bored as a
Speaker 4: kid in your room, but I never thought to apply
Speaker 4: that when I went the bar.
Speaker 2: I mean, hey, give me those salt shakers. I want
Speaker 2: to see something. Hey, you got your balls with you.
Speaker 2: I do always entertain.
Speaker 4: Now there is something else though, like when it's bowling
Speaker 4: pins and they're flipping. Yeah, that's serious because now you're
Speaker 4: flipping it. It's not just a ball that you grab anywhere.
Speaker 4: You have to flip it the right way. That's impressive.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yes, Todd, I think you need to be juggling
Speaker 8: something that's on fire while on a unicycle, or something
Speaker 8: that requires balance with is a distraction of some sort
Speaker 8: other than how many things are gonna float.
Speaker 2: In It can't bring your unicycle in and I can't bring
Speaker 2: fire into a bar. I mean, just stor right, and
Speaker 2: I got some lemons here.
Speaker 8: Have everybody come out to the parking a lot for
Speaker 8: a little show and then they go back in.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Paul, but my guy Pete the juggler, he did
Speaker 6: those tiki torches and we catch them between his legs.
Speaker 6: Machetes out in the park at Central Park and we
Speaker 6: get kicked out of the park.
Speaker 5: Machetes.
Speaker 2: Welcome to the program already in progress.
Speaker 5: Here.
Speaker 2: We'll get to your phone calls coming up. We'll have
Speaker 2: a new pole question for hour or two. David in
Speaker 2: Ohio is back.
Speaker 9: Good morning, David, Hey day, and I got a vest
Speaker 9: of work for the weekend. I'll go with the worst first.
Speaker 9: I had a family member that passed away last week.
Speaker 9: But you guys, this show got me through with the
Speaker 9: great lineup that Todd was a part of and just
Speaker 9: some of the great guests you guys had getting through that.
Speaker 9: So appreciate that. And then my best has got to
Speaker 9: be when Buddha in San Francisco called the show on
Speaker 9: a panel boat in the middle of my pubby coat
Speaker 9: when I watched it on Peacock and I thought that
Speaker 9: was like so awesome, So thank you.
Speaker 5: All right, David.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we had a chance to spend some time with
Speaker 2: Buddha and went to his restaurant and he was there
Speaker 2: every morning all five shows. And then he said, Hey,
Speaker 2: can I go out to McCovey cove and call you
Speaker 2: from McCovey Cove. I said, sure, Buddha in San Francisco
Speaker 2: joining us. Hi, Buddha, be my mad boys.
Speaker 10: Shout out to all the BRG baby, what's wrong Chrissy?
Speaker 10: First of all, DP Bill Cowerd needs to put some
Speaker 10: respect on the DP show name. You guys are all
Speaker 10: adaptable to careful what you wish for a coach. And
Speaker 10: I need a week off after that Super week Dan,
Speaker 10: that just happened here, But the show must go on.
Speaker 10: So I got a five minute poll question for you guys.
Speaker 10: Would you get married during the performance of the Super
Speaker 10: Bowl halftime show?
Speaker 2: That was a real That was a real ceremony. That
Speaker 2: couple got married last night during the halftime show with
Speaker 2: Bad Bonie. Now, it depends on how long I'm going
Speaker 2: out with my wife and if she was a fan
Speaker 2: of the entertainer. Yeh see is the story that they
Speaker 2: emailed Bad bunny and we're like, hey, do you want
Speaker 2: to come to our wedding? And instead he turned their
Speaker 2: wedding into part of the Super Bowl show. I think
Speaker 2: they invited him to their wedding.
Speaker 4: Yes, right, right, sort of like we get invites all
Speaker 4: the time to weddings and stuff. It's probably something similar
Speaker 4: to that. And he's like, why don't I just why
Speaker 4: don't you guys just get married during the Super Bowl show?
Speaker 2: Yes, Marvin, should we officiate a wedding?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 2: No, I've been asked to no, so you said yes, no, no,
Speaker 2: I don't want to. What else do you have? Buddha
Speaker 2: oh Boodo's gone, yes, don Do you have to wear.
Speaker 8: A whistle when officiating a wedding? You need to be
Speaker 8: a referee costume of some sort.
Speaker 2: Who groaned in the back Is that you seating? Did
Speaker 2: you groan? I didn't know somebody else all in the
Speaker 2: back room?
Speaker 5: Wow?
Speaker 8: Is that loud the walls of the control room?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, cawerful reaction. I get what you're saying.
Speaker 8: You know, it was a little referee Joe and say
Speaker 8: it was a good one. It was just an officiated comment.
Speaker 2: I got to find out who groaned because that was
Speaker 2: a loud groan from the back room, almost unprofessor uh
Speaker 2: Brad in North Carolina. Hi Brad, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 2: And sub dp that was actually me gruning through hold
Speaker 2: best and worst of the weekend. And I know we're
Speaker 2: shifting subjects from the super Bowl, but Set Trumble with
Speaker 2: ice water in his veins to just execute Duke and
Speaker 2: then my worst of the weekend, John Shire pulling up
Speaker 2: page out of Coach K's playbook, just whining about the
Speaker 2: court storming and supposedly some staff number getting punched in
Speaker 2: the face, only punched the app and with Set Trumble
Speaker 2: punched them squarely between the ass. But thanks Dpe All right, Brent, Well,
Speaker 2: we don't know if somebody did or didn't get punched,
Speaker 2: but I think it costs North Caroline what fifty thousand
Speaker 2: dollars for storming the court. I'm sure they'll say it's
Speaker 2: worth it. I keep coming back to someone is going
Speaker 2: to get seriously hurt. I know we love it, and
Speaker 2: we're getting ready. We're getting ready for the storming the
Speaker 2: court coming up next month. Yes, Marvin, but why.
Speaker 11: Is North Carolina storming the court? North Carolin Central North Carolina?
Speaker 11: A and T North Carolina State should be storming the court,
Speaker 11: not the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill.
Speaker 2: There uh, Nick, and Irvine is back?
Speaker 12: Hi Nick, Hey.
Speaker 13: Dan, tudos to you and the boys coming all the
Speaker 13: way across country after the Super Bowl and showing up
Speaker 13: on Monday.
Speaker 5: Wow, that is awesome.
Speaker 14: I'm gonna start with my best commercial.
Speaker 13: I like the Budweiser horse raising that eaglet into an
Speaker 13: eagle that brought me up off the couch. I thought
Speaker 13: the game was mid. I thought Bad Bunny was mid.
Speaker 13: He's no Tito Puente. My worst football is the Minnesota Vikings,
Speaker 13: who are still sitting on a big fat zero super
Speaker 13: bowls and they traded a guy who has now won
Speaker 13: thirty one games over two years. And I will say
Speaker 13: this is that I was a board teenager in.
Speaker 14: My room and I.
Speaker 13: Only learned how to juggle two balls, So I don't know.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Nick, Thank you. By the way, do the
Speaker 2: Jets take credit for having drafted a Super Bowl winning quarterback?
Speaker 14: Like?
Speaker 2: Do they somehow put out something social media wise that
Speaker 2: you know, our guy, we drafted him. He's a super
Speaker 2: Bowl winning quarterback. Anthony and California High Anthony, thank what's up, Dan?
Speaker 14: How you doing good?
Speaker 10: First time caller?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 7: And so I heard you talking earlier about how Drake
Speaker 7: May was the regular season MVP. I'm here to say
Speaker 7: that's not true. As a Raiders fan, I watched my
Speaker 7: team beat the New England Patriots in New England Week
Speaker 7: one of the season. I know that team's changed and
Speaker 7: players get better, but I just, man, after watching that game,
Speaker 7: I never believed in the Patriots.
Speaker 15: Man.
Speaker 2: Well they got to the super Bowl, Anthony. Oh, yes,
Speaker 2: the Raiders did open up the season beating the Patriots.
Speaker 2: I don't know how you couldn't have any belief in them.
Speaker 2: Since they made it to the super Bowl, they're well
Speaker 2: ahead of schedule. The Raiders would love to emulate what
Speaker 2: the Patriots have been able to do.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: See, By the way, that's what's so unfair is that
Speaker 4: Gino Smith is just taking an unbelievable amount of strays
Speaker 4: today because they're like, man, the team he left won
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl and the team he went to has
Speaker 4: the first number one overall pick.
Speaker 16: That's just not necessary. Y.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. That is mean, That is rude, That is
Speaker 2: mean spirited. Yes, it's Marvin, and.
Speaker 11: I feel bad for this Patriots team because we can't
Speaker 11: put them in the same category as the Falcons when
Speaker 11: they played the Broncos and they got mollywopped, or the
Speaker 11: charges when they face Steve Young. We can't put them
Speaker 11: in the same category because they had a great season.
Speaker 11: But the Super Bowl is gonna leave a bad taste
Speaker 11: in everyone's mouth, like why were they even there in
Speaker 11: the first place.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got that feeling, and yes, people did talk.
Speaker 2: We talked about their schedule and it wasn't a demanding schedule.
Speaker 2: But still you play. You can't go to the teacher
Speaker 2: and go, hey, I want some extra credit here? Can
Speaker 2: we have a tougher game coming up? You play who
Speaker 2: was ever in front of you? It was enough for
Speaker 2: them to get to the Super Bowl. Did I think
Speaker 2: they were the better team? I did not, And as
Speaker 2: I said, with my prediction, I didn't think they were
Speaker 2: going to be able to score twenty points. That's why
Speaker 2: I said twenty four to thirteen ended up twenty nine thirteen.
Speaker 11: Yeah, Marv, and I'm pretty sure all those teams were
Speaker 11: NFL teams. This wasn't right. Come on, let's not play
Speaker 11: this game. It's not like Alabama when they're playing Colgate.
Speaker 2: I don't think Alabama plays Colgate Tomato, Alabama Place, Crappensburg State.
Speaker 16: Hello, Hello, my apologies.
Speaker 2: Jack in Philadelphia. Hey Jack, Hey, what's up?
Speaker 5: VP?
Speaker 2: Amen, let's go.
Speaker 17: I'm a lifelong Pats fan. I want to talk about
Speaker 17: something that I saw last night. I haven't seen somebody
Speaker 17: perform like that all season and then fall in the
Speaker 17: biggest game of the year. And I'm not talking about
Speaker 17: Drake may on the left side of that line. I'm
Speaker 17: talking about Josh McDaniels. The fact that they got away
Speaker 17: from the run game after the defense is doing everything
Speaker 17: in their power to hold the minute six to nothing,
Speaker 17: nine to nothing, twelve nothing, and they were just letting
Speaker 17: themselves get annihilated by a four man front. The entire
Speaker 17: game was suffering to watch. So that's just my two cents.
Speaker 17: I know my dad's listening. Shout out, Dad, I love you,
Speaker 17: and I'll hang up and listen.
Speaker 18: Thank you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you.
Speaker 5: Jack.
Speaker 2: We kept wondering, like, where are the adjustments here? You
Speaker 2: know exactly what Seattle is doing. There was no secret there. Now,
Speaker 2: you might have had Witherspoon coming from a different angle,
Speaker 2: but you knew you needed help on the left side.
Speaker 2: I just kept waiting for something that was going to
Speaker 2: Seattle had rhythm. New England had to disrupt the rhythm
Speaker 2: of the defense, which is usually the other way around.
Speaker 2: Josh McDaniels didn't have a good night. You know, you
Speaker 2: knew that Drake May second year and felt like he
Speaker 2: was swimming swimming in the deep end with sharks. And
Speaker 2: but give credit to you know what they did. Mike
Speaker 2: McDonald is the head coach but also calling the defensive plays,
Speaker 2: and I thought that it was a aggressive we're going
Speaker 2: after him, and it's really what New England did. New
Speaker 2: England same way. They were extremely extremely aggressive, trying to
Speaker 2: jump routes. Collinsworth was talking about it was New England's
Speaker 2: philosophy seemed to be, if we're going to win it,
Speaker 2: we have to win it with our defense, because we're
Speaker 2: not going to win it with our offense. Seattle was like,
Speaker 2: we're going to put so much pressure on with our defense.
Speaker 2: Our offense only has to do a little bit here,
Speaker 2: just enough, and you got a great field goal kicker
Speaker 2: and a great punter. Darnold had a touchdown pass and
Speaker 2: Kenneth Walker kept New England's defense honest with a couple
Speaker 2: of those big plays.
Speaker 4: Yeah see, And it's almost like New England was so
Speaker 4: aggressive so early, trying to jump routes, that it spooked
Speaker 4: the Seahawks.
Speaker 16: After a quarter or.
Speaker 4: Two, it's like, why don't we just run a little bit, Sam,
Speaker 4: Maybe you stop throwing it so much.
Speaker 16: Let's see what Kennedy could do. And then the game changed.
Speaker 2: Game over and those plays. Then, you know, I give
Speaker 2: collins Worth credit because he said they're trying to win it.
Speaker 2: They're trying to win it with their defense. They're trying
Speaker 2: to put up a pick six or two, get an interception,
Speaker 2: get a phone, get something, and they didn't get anything there.
Speaker 2: Ross Tucker will join us more of your phone calls
Speaker 2: on this Monday, Best and Worst to the weekend. We're
Speaker 2: back after this.

Speaker 2: There wasn't much of a passing game last night for Seattle,
Speaker 2: but Cooper Cup in a sneaky way, ended up with
Speaker 2: five receptions and he's just the second player in NFL
Speaker 2: history with five or more receptions in Super Bowl wins
Speaker 2: with multiple teams. He joins Gronk, who did it with
Speaker 2: the Buccaneers. And the page.
Speaker 3: Stand of a day, stant of a day, start of
Speaker 3: a day, stant out a day.
Speaker 2: This is the Stule of the Day stat of Today
Speaker 2: brought to you by Panini America. E me, he had
Speaker 2: six receptions. I should have said five or more receptions
Speaker 2: for Cooper Cup. It's one of those where you're like,
Speaker 2: he was the bailout, you know, Jackson Smith and Jigba
Speaker 2: was hurt and uh, although Barner had a couple of
Speaker 2: big plays too, but you're and I like that. Chris
Speaker 2: Collinsworth says, you know, Kenneth Walker, he doesn't block very
Speaker 2: well and he doesn't catch very well, but he does
Speaker 2: run really well. Mike Rabel had this to say, what
Speaker 2: went wrong with the Patriots last night?
Speaker 20: We just have to not let mistakes pile up. Can't
Speaker 20: let one bad play turn into two bad plays, and
Speaker 20: you know, be able to settle down and be better
Speaker 20: early on in drives. You know that just wasn't the case.
Speaker 20: It was just kind of you know, we'd make a
Speaker 20: play here, install and you know we'd have a good
Speaker 20: run install and you know, so again just the competitive stamina,
Speaker 20: the competitive the physical stamina and the mental stamina that's
Speaker 20: required in these types of games.
Speaker 2: It's Mike Rabel, Ross Tucker, CBS Sports, Westwood One, NFL
Speaker 2: College football analyst and host of the Ross Tucker Football podcast,
Speaker 2: back at a home in Pennsylvania. Took the Red Eye
Speaker 2: out of San Francisco last night. How you feeling.
Speaker 5: Fine? Yeah, I feel good.
Speaker 21: I feel better than And then I would feel if
Speaker 21: I did what Fritzy thought I did. Fritzy texted me
Speaker 21: Dan Fritzy thought I flew to London to call the
Speaker 21: game on radio.
Speaker 8: No, I was double checking to make sure that he
Speaker 8: was in fact at Levi statement, It wasn't one of
Speaker 8: these things where he's in some studio in England doing
Speaker 8: it with his partner in England and they're just kind
Speaker 8: of doing it from there or something.
Speaker 11: But there's a question.
Speaker 21: So, Todd, you thought I was in San Francisco all week,
Speaker 21: including on set with you guys, and then you thought
Speaker 21: I flew to London from San Francisco to call game
Speaker 21: in a studio. It would seem like a very odd
Speaker 21: Back in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 8: That would be you got a lot of frequent flyer miles,
Speaker 8: but it would be very strange if you were asked
Speaker 8: to do that by the talk sports folks.
Speaker 21: Yeah, I mean, Todd, I'm one of your biggest supporters,
Speaker 21: but say it out loud, like say it out loud.
Speaker 2: First, I probably wouldn't have asked that question. He did
Speaker 2: talk about doing the game and the broadcaster from England
Speaker 2: was coming over to San Francisco.
Speaker 8: I know, but I've made mistakes in the past and
Speaker 8: it's still stuck in my head with like lines where
Speaker 8: we're promoting things that I've put you in a bad
Speaker 8: spot where that's not the name of the book or
Speaker 8: that's not the game that was on Fox or whatever.
Speaker 8: I'm like, so now triple and quadruple checking everything, even
Speaker 8: at the sounding stupid like I did hear?
Speaker 2: Okay, how would you sum up the first half ross?
Speaker 21: Oh geez, I never know. Is it a defensive struggle
Speaker 21: or an offensive struggle? And how much of that was
Speaker 21: good defense how much it was bad offense. I gotta
Speaker 21: tell you it was good defense, really good defense, but
Speaker 21: neither offense played very well, you know, And I gotta
Speaker 21: tell you, as a former offensive lineman, I was really
Speaker 21: frustrated and disappointed with how poor of a job both
Speaker 21: teams did picking up blitzes.
Speaker 5: I mean they ran the same Devin.
Speaker 21: Witherspoon blitz off the edge where he comes underneath the
Speaker 21: tackle six or seven times in the game.
Speaker 5: I'm not sure the Patriots picked it up once.
Speaker 21: There were mental errors by the Seahawks where guys were
Speaker 21: coming free. Interestingly, Sam Darnald did a better job of
Speaker 21: avoiding free runners like Milton Williams and not taking sacks
Speaker 21: than Drake May.
Speaker 5: Where you thought May had the advantage in athleticism and
Speaker 5: he ran for more yards, but Donald.
Speaker 21: Multiple times a guy came Scott free, he made a
Speaker 21: miss and threw it or ran or whatever. Meanwhile, Drake
Speaker 21: May is standing there and lets himself get sacked by
Speaker 21: a bull rush from Riley Mills or steps up into
Speaker 21: a sack. I thought the pocket movement, pocket presence from
Speaker 21: the quarterbacks was one.
Speaker 5: Of the differences in the game. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I kept waiting for them to give a little bit
Speaker 2: of help on the left side of line or change
Speaker 2: up the rhythm here. It just they kept doing the
Speaker 2: same thing and Seattle kept doing the same thing.
Speaker 5: Dan, I'm so glad to hear you say that.
Speaker 21: You know, after the first sack that Will Campbell gave up,
Speaker 21: I said, any other pressure that comes from that side,
Speaker 21: that's on Josh McDaniels.
Speaker 5: That's on the coaching staff. And Josh was.
Speaker 21: My coordinator when I was in New England. I'm a
Speaker 21: big fan of Josh. He does a terrific job. But
Speaker 21: the kid was really struggling. I mean, he struggled the
Speaker 21: last five or six weeks. Everybody knew his confidence was shot.
Speaker 21: Everybody knew you could go speed to power, and so
Speaker 21: did the Seahawks, and they just kept doing it. And
Speaker 21: I was surprised that the Patriots didn't slide more to
Speaker 21: help him, didn't give him more chip help. I mean,
Speaker 21: that was one of the biggest differences in the game.
Speaker 21: Was it fourteen pressures or seventeen? I think he gave
Speaker 21: up fourteen pressures in one football game.
Speaker 2: And that's your blind side too, so you got two
Speaker 2: first year guys on your left side protecting your back.
Speaker 2: And but you know, I look at it as that
Speaker 2: that was an elite defensive performance, special teams performance. You
Speaker 2: got enough out of Kenneth Walker to keep the defense honest.
Speaker 2: Sam Darnold, no turnovers, and that's a recipe for success
Speaker 2: in a regular season game or a Super Bowl.
Speaker 21: Yeah, and Kenneth Walker, he's one of the craziest runners
Speaker 21: I've ever seen. I mean, Dan he almost never runs
Speaker 21: the ball where he's supposed to go almost never, and
Speaker 21: sometimes he gets in trouble and loses yardage as a result.
Speaker 21: But it'll supposed to be an inside run to the left,
Speaker 21: he'll bounce it way outside. It'll supposed to be an
Speaker 21: outside run to the left, he'll cut it all the
Speaker 21: way back behind everything to the right. And it cost
Speaker 21: him every once in a while. But you know, both
Speaker 21: teams were aware of it. I talk with both coaching staffs,
Speaker 21: you know, for the Rossnuger podcast last week. They knew
Speaker 21: if you're an O lineman D linman ty then whatever,
Speaker 21: you never know where the ball's gonna go with Walker.
Speaker 21: And look, he was very productive. He had a terrific night.
Speaker 21: He's gonna give you some lost yardage plays. I'll be
Speaker 21: very curious to see what the market's like for him
Speaker 21: and free agency. There's probably some pressure on the Seahawks
Speaker 21: to bring him back now he's super Bowl MVP.
Speaker 2: Moving forward. We talked about this leading up to the
Speaker 2: Super Bowl and even this morning. The Patriots are set
Speaker 2: up for success. Maybe got there a year early, but
Speaker 2: they do have young players. Don't have to pay Drake
Speaker 2: May yet. You got draft picks, you got salary cap
Speaker 2: money here and then you have Seattle, who was already
Speaker 2: made so moving forward here, Seattle have a better chance
Speaker 2: of returning than New England.
Speaker 21: Yeah, I think so, just because I thought over the
Speaker 21: last month or so, I thought the Seahawks were the
Speaker 21: best team of the NFL, and they prove that. The
Speaker 21: issue with them is that division is going to be tough.
Speaker 21: I mean, the Rams aren't going anywhere. Stafford said he's
Speaker 21: coming back. The Niners are gonna get Fred Warner and
Speaker 21: Nick Bosa back. That's sort of the issue for the
Speaker 21: Seahawks is just how competitive their division is.
Speaker 5: Conversely, for the Patriots.
Speaker 21: You know, I couldn't help but wonder watching that game then,
Speaker 21: it just feels like it would have been a lot
Speaker 21: more competitive if it were the Buffalo Bills, you.
Speaker 2: Know, and look they lost Buffalo. I'm sure Buffalo feels
Speaker 2: the same. I'm sure the Rams feel like they should have.
Speaker 2: How many teams do you think watch that game and
Speaker 2: said we could win the Super Bowl?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 21: Those two for sure, you know, and honestly a Bill's
Speaker 21: Rams game might have been even more compelling.
Speaker 5: But you gotta win. You gotta win when you're in the.
Speaker 21: Playoffs, when you have the chance the Rams had chance
Speaker 21: to be the number one seed.
Speaker 5: They blew it in that Week sixteen game.
Speaker 21: That kind of came back to haunt them, and the
Speaker 21: Bills had more than enough chances against the Broncos that
Speaker 21: they weren't able to get done. You know, I'll be
Speaker 21: curious also to see how Drake may comes out of this.
Speaker 5: He looked rattled. You know, he had an awesome season,
Speaker 5: but this playoff run. I think it wore on him.
Speaker 21: I don't know how much was the shoulder, but it
Speaker 21: was mentally like he was you know, there were times
Speaker 21: he was standing there like a statue. He was taking sacks.
Speaker 21: He wasn't as decisive as he should have been. He
Speaker 21: missed some throws. You know, I never know, Dan, and
Speaker 21: there's no way to know if there will be carryover
Speaker 21: in the next year from that standpoint, because you got
Speaker 21: to think, I mean, at a minimum, his confidence was
Speaker 21: not where it needed to be. He never looked comfortable.
Speaker 21: He never was able to get to a good place
Speaker 21: at all.
Speaker 2: And I put that on the coaching because you have
Speaker 2: to put him in situations where get a couple of plays,
Speaker 2: get comfortable, get any kind of rhythm. I would never
Speaker 2: have him that deep in the backfield because it just
Speaker 2: like he was sitting there. He was a target instead
Speaker 2: of and I said this to coach Kawer, I would
Speaker 2: have had the Tom Brady playbook. That ball is going
Speaker 2: to be out.
Speaker 20: Now.
Speaker 2: They didn't have weapons, and it's easy to say get
Speaker 2: the ball out, but I certainly like that option better
Speaker 2: than having him stand back there and you know, seven
Speaker 2: steps back and letting them just go, hey, who wants
Speaker 2: to tackle him?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Like what happened as screen passes? I mean what happened?
Speaker 2: They had a couple of them, and then I just
Speaker 2: thought they gave up on the run as well, and
Speaker 2: because Seattle was like, I don't know you're gonna run. Okay,
Speaker 2: we're going after Drake may Well.
Speaker 21: And I mean Stefan Diggs at some point you got
Speaker 21: to throw the ball to him and hope he makes
Speaker 21: a play for you. And they didn't really do that.
Speaker 21: And I go back again to the Devin Witherspoon blitz.
Speaker 21: That's not pro football, Dan. I mean, in pro football,
Speaker 21: a lot of times, especially in a big game, the
Speaker 21: defense will have a new blitz. We used to call
Speaker 21: it the flavor of the week. Right, they have a
Speaker 21: new blitz. We haven't seen, so they get you on
Speaker 21: it the first time. These guys now have iPads or
Speaker 21: whatever they're called, tablets on the sideline. We didn't even
Speaker 21: used to have those where they can watch exactly how
Speaker 21: the blitz is coming.
Speaker 5: The fact that the Seahawks still got.
Speaker 21: Home with Witherspoon, including the game clinching play four more times,
Speaker 21: that blows my mind away. That Josh McDaniels and the
Speaker 21: Patriots coaching staff allowed themselves to continually get beat by
Speaker 21: essentially the same blitz that should not and cannot happen.
Speaker 2: Is Sam Darnold Allen's scholarship the rest of his career.
Speaker 21: No, I don't think it works that way, especially not
Speaker 21: with John Schneider in Seattle. I mean he's shown that
Speaker 21: with Russell Wilson, he's shown that. With Geno Smith, I mean,
Speaker 21: obviously he's in a terrific place and they're happy to
Speaker 21: have him.
Speaker 5: It is funny, you know what you guys should do
Speaker 5: or I should do.
Speaker 21: There were a lot of people, including a lot of
Speaker 21: Seahawks fans, that were not happy that they traded Geno
Speaker 21: Smith to the Raiders and felt like the organization was
Speaker 21: a being cheap and b that it was a major
Speaker 21: downgrade from Geno Smith to Donald go back, go back
Speaker 21: and watch.
Speaker 2: That, and the media, the Settle media too.
Speaker 21: It's for sure. And ironically, the Raiders went out in
Speaker 21: the opener. The Raiders and Pete Carroll went out in
Speaker 21: the opener and beat the Patriots, the team that I
Speaker 21: was like, the only win that Geno Smith and Pete
Speaker 21: Carroll really had last year. And obviously that team that
Speaker 21: goes to the Super Bowl. But I'm so happy for Dark.
Speaker 21: I mean to play for five teams.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 21: I think I told you guys this last week because
Speaker 21: I played for five teams. You're not that good because
Speaker 21: if you were really good, you would only play.
Speaker 5: For Water two.
Speaker 21: But you're not that bad because if you're really bad,
Speaker 21: you only play for Water two.
Speaker 2: Go get some sleep.
Speaker 5: Oh I'm going right now. I will literally be asleep
Speaker 5: by eleven am. It's gonna be epic a good.
Speaker 16: Time in London.
Speaker 2: Fritzie, do not do not get a hold of Ross.
Speaker 18: Yah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's like.
Speaker 8: Six hours later, it's like four thirty in the afternoon.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Ross.
Speaker 5: See you guys.
Speaker 2: Ross Tucker, host to the Ross Tucker Football Podcast. Okay,
Speaker 2: we're gonna do this now. I mean you thought he
Speaker 2: was in England.
Speaker 8: He really threw me under the bus there that that
Speaker 8: was a text conversation that did not need to be
Speaker 8: brought up in the air.
Speaker 2: So you thought he was in San Francisco doing his
Speaker 2: prep work.
Speaker 5: I thought he was at Levi's.
Speaker 8: But I wanted to make sure that, for some strange reason,
Speaker 8: because he was doing the game for like the BBC,
Speaker 8: that he wasn't doing it at some studio in England.
Speaker 8: I just wanted to make up solutely sure so you
Speaker 8: wouldn't look bad and say it's something that wasn't actually correct.
Speaker 8: So by being extra careful, I look like the dope,
Speaker 8: which I am.
Speaker 2: Well, you got the BBC wrong, Sport, I.
Speaker 8: Mean, you know, England, it's all part of a's all
Speaker 8: into the England umbrella, the British, it's the UK, the
Speaker 8: UK continuing to screw it up.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Paul, I respect Fritzy but for checking everything because
Speaker 6: we gotten caught before.
Speaker 2: But yeah, but who did he check with Ross after
Speaker 2: the fact?
Speaker 8: Yes, Actually, Dan, I wasn't in San Francisco because, as
Speaker 8: I told you, I was doing a talk sports so
Speaker 8: I was doing the game at a studio in England.
Speaker 8: And that's all I would have needed to have happened
Speaker 8: on the air. I rather look like the dope this way.
Speaker 2: Well, how about a round of applause for Fritzy great John.
Speaker 1: I will take that.
Speaker 6: I will take that book.
Speaker 8: It's arrow every time for you think that he was
Speaker 8: in San Fransco. When he was in England by accent.
Speaker 2: How about we take a break. More phone calls coming up.
Speaker 2: We're back after this on the Dan Patrick Show. Fox
Speaker 2: Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation.
Speaker 2: Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio dot com
Speaker 2: and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to listen live
Speaker 2: Jordan in South Dakota, Hi Jordan.
Speaker 12: That's the worst of the weekend.
Speaker 22: And then a quick favor if you wouldn't mind. That's
Speaker 22: Sam Darnold as a Vikings fan.
Speaker 14: Very happy for him and his family.
Speaker 22: Yesterday worst the Timberwolves performance against New Orleans and the Clippers.
Speaker 22: Kui had a great game, Timberwolves not so much. And
Speaker 22: then finally, it's my oldest, it's our oldest Grayson seventh birthday.
Speaker 22: Big Fritzy fan was wondering if the script allowed a
Speaker 22: birthday shout out for us on Grayson.
Speaker 2: Ready heavy birthday seven years of age.
Speaker 14: Thanks that a great week.
Speaker 2: Thank you Jeordan Patrick in North Carolina. Hi Patrick, all.
Speaker 12: Right, first time, long time Bruce Lee five eight. My
Speaker 12: best of the weekend is Ryan Leaf flipping out on
Speaker 12: his old team doctor that he accused of giving Junior
Speaker 12: Seau pain pills. And my worst of the weekend is
Speaker 12: Ryan Leaf flipping out on his old team doctor and
Speaker 12: saying bleep you to the doctor, bleep you to the media,
Speaker 12: and bleep you.
Speaker 14: To Ross Tucker.
Speaker 12: I don't know how Roth Tucker got involved into this
Speaker 12: mixer got thrown in, but it was a truly amazing
Speaker 12: I loved it.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 2: Ross Tucker, I think was interviewing the doctor of the Chargers,
Speaker 2: and I think that he was kind of he was
Speaker 2: taken strays there he was, he was in the vicinity,
Speaker 2: and therefore Ross Tucker was brought into this. But I
Speaker 2: think Leif apologized for saying that about Ross. You can't
Speaker 2: say that about Ross Tucker. Nobody says negative things about
Speaker 2: Ross Tucker. The Ryan Leaf situation with the former Chargers physician,
Speaker 2: I don't I'm sure there's two sides to this, but
Speaker 2: I know Ryan had issues with him calling him out
Speaker 2: his treatment of Junior Seou. Ryan was a teammate of
Speaker 2: Junior Seals when they were with the Chargers. Anything else
Speaker 2: to add to that, Paul.
Speaker 6: Now that's about right. But like you said, they were
Speaker 6: at the media center right near where Ross Tucker was broadcasting.
Speaker 6: The doctor said, Ryan, let's go on Ross's show right
Speaker 6: now and discuss it. And that's when Ryan yelled a.
Speaker 5: Him little bit.
Speaker 2: Adam in Michigan, Hi, Adam, what's on your mind?
Speaker 5: Hey, how's it going? Dan?
Speaker 2: That's great, it's great.
Speaker 14: Best and worse were starting with Lindsey Vaughan. I mean,
Speaker 14: I'm three years older than her, and I wish I
Speaker 14: had a helicopter standing by at any point. But best
Speaker 14: was your guys' last week super Bowl. It's always one
Speaker 14: of my favorite weeks of the year when you guys
Speaker 14: do that there and you got two years ago now here,
Speaker 14: and I'm thinking about when that comes down to it
Speaker 14: in Atlanta, it's going to be a conflicting thing. I
Speaker 14: don't want you to have a farewell tour while trying
Speaker 14: to cover the super Bowl. At the same time, I
Speaker 14: think everybody's gonna give your show. It's flowers as they should,
Speaker 14: because it's such a big part of all of our lives,
Speaker 14: our fans and that sort of thing. And I'm wondering,
Speaker 14: if you just push it back one more week to Milford,
Speaker 14: you the super Bowl, you know, give it as due diligence,
Speaker 14: and then come back to Milford for one week, and
Speaker 14: then do your farewell tour, you know, and then get
Speaker 14: all those memories out of the way.
Speaker 2: What say you, Dan, I don't know. I'm kind of
Speaker 2: locked into that day. My career took off in Atlanta,
Speaker 2: and my wife thought it would be a good way
Speaker 2: to bring it back and my career there as well.
Speaker 2: Still have time. Let's look. I head to twenty twenty
Speaker 2: seven in Los Angeles, next year's super Bowl.
Speaker 6: Paulie, So the super Bowl is on Sunday, February fourteenth,
Speaker 6: Valentine's Day. How does that affect the plans for Valentine's
Speaker 6: Day for the bros?
Speaker 2: It doesn't affect mine.
Speaker 4: I haven't started thinking about this Valentine's Day, let alone.
Speaker 4: Next to is Valentine?
Speaker 16: What are you crazy? Well, said the hell you talking about?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 6: That could be awkward. Just you do it on Saturday night?
Speaker 2: Okay, But why can't she do something for me pay
Speaker 2: back time. No, it's just if it's love, and you
Speaker 2: know I love love, then she will love me for
Speaker 2: watching the football game. Yes, Tuna.
Speaker 8: Yeah, And we're kind of breaking out of these traditional
Speaker 8: roles over the years about this is what the man
Speaker 8: does and is what the woman is expected to do.
Speaker 8: We don't do that.
Speaker 2: I did say to my wife, and I was with
Speaker 2: my two daughters. We're watching the game. They're ready for
Speaker 2: the coin toss, and I said, Hun, I'm going to
Speaker 2: take heads and I'll give you whatever piece of jewelry
Speaker 2: you want if I'm wrong, but if I'm right, then
Speaker 2: you have to give me whatever piece of jewelry I want.
Speaker 2: She goes deal, and then I was, but I still
Speaker 2: maintain I thought Cooper Cup called it correctly, but he
Speaker 2: didn't get credit for it. I thought that there was
Speaker 2: a Jerome bettas like something happened during the coin tok
Speaker 2: Are you contesting this? I am? And she said, no,
Speaker 2: deal's deal, and I got witnesses. Yes, PAULI.
Speaker 6: The other thing about next year, Sunday, February fourteenth, the
Speaker 6: next day is President's Day, a holiday.
Speaker 2: We did it, Yep, we did it. Now you can
Speaker 2: have fun on super Bowl Sunday, Live it up. Does
Speaker 2: everybody get off that next and we have to work
Speaker 2: that next day?
Speaker 6: It's a national holiday, So maybe banks and postal workers
Speaker 6: and government offices.
Speaker 2: Okay, but not schools.
Speaker 6: Schools are off, most schools are off.
Speaker 16: Public schools.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's great.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So if it's like a government holiday, then anybody
Speaker 4: working within that sort of sphere would be off.
Speaker 2: But the other people are going to have to work
Speaker 2: like we have to work.
Speaker 6: Us the essential workers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, yeah we are. I think we're essential workers.
Speaker 2: Christian in California. Hi, Chris, Hey Dan, how's it going great?
Speaker 22: First time? Long time?
Speaker 15: A tall five five and a half and a lean
Speaker 15: one seventy so I had a best in an actual
Speaker 15: bestis and then a quick futures pie in the face
Speaker 15: if anybody wants to take me up on it. So
Speaker 15: my best, obviously is the Super Bowl. This whole season
Speaker 15: that's been filled with all these analytics and go for
Speaker 15: it on fourth down. I didn't see a single fourth
Speaker 15: down go for it. This entire game was magnificent. I'm
Speaker 15: an old school guy. I love the three zero, the
Speaker 15: six zero, the nine zero, twelve zero, defense wins championships,
Speaker 15: Mike McDonald love that guy Raiders fans. I'm super happy
Speaker 15: there OS's coming to us. Alan Kubiak, and then my
Speaker 15: bestness was I live in the Bay Area, so I
Speaker 15: was able to stop buy on Friday and see you
Speaker 15: guys for your last show of the weekend. You guys
Speaker 15: were very gracious. It was a great show, seating, really nice.
Speaker 15: Guy shook my hand three times. It was really great.
Speaker 15: I've watched you guys for a long time, so that
Speaker 15: was really awesome, especially nine year were going to retire
Speaker 15: in about two years.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you, Christian Dave AND's Indianapolis, Hi.
Speaker 18: Dave, Hi Dan, welcome back. This is Dave in Indianapolis, Indiana,
Speaker 18: not Annapolis, Maryland. I got two items. One was Drake
Speaker 18: May needs to start dragging those three hundred and fifty
Speaker 18: pounds weights across the field because Witherspoon I think grabbed
Speaker 18: them by the shirttails and pulled them down. And I
Speaker 18: don't think the Patriots called one rollout pass play for May.
Speaker 18: I think they were all set dropped back passes and
Speaker 18: then he had to scramble for his life.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think there were rollout passes only because of Seattle's defense.
Speaker 2: Made him roll out. I thought he was going to
Speaker 2: have like sixty yards running. I thought that he would
Speaker 2: be able to counteract that pass rush by running. And
Speaker 2: I mean Seattle did blitz, but for the most part,
Speaker 2: they put pressure with just their front four and that
Speaker 2: made it even tougher because you don't have those running lanes,
Speaker 2: because you don't have a defensive backer linebacker coming after him,
Speaker 2: that he would be able to use his legs. I
Speaker 2: thought Sam Darnold appeared more athletic than Drake May last
Speaker 2: night eluding the rush. And I never thought I'd be
Speaker 2: saying that the day after the Super Bowl. Two hours
Speaker 2: in the books, one more to go on this Monday,
Speaker 2: will give you our best and worst of the weekend.
Speaker 2: More phone calls coming up eight seven to seven three
Speaker 2: DP shell operator Tyler sitting by. He'll take your calls.
Speaker 2: Two hours in the books, one more to go on
Speaker 2: this Monday. Dan Patrick's Show
