Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Our two on this Monday.
Speaker 2: Come on in, stay a while. Hall of Famer Steve
Speaker 2: Young will stop my will dissect what happened over the weekend.
Speaker 2: Chiefs Commanders, Bills and Eagles all advanced and your morning
Speaker 2: points spreads from DraftKings Commanders are getting five and a
Speaker 2: half against the Eagles and the Bills getting one and
Speaker 2: a half against the Kansas City Chiefs eight seven to
Speaker 2: seven three DP Show email address Dpadanpatrick dot com, Twitter
Speaker 2: handle at DP show. You have Mark Sanchez, you have
Speaker 2: Rock Perty, you have Joe Flacco, you have Ben Roethlisberger,
Speaker 2: you have Sean King, and now you have Jayden Daniels,
Speaker 2: the sixth rookie quarterback to start a conference championship game.
Speaker 2: The previous five all lost.
Speaker 3: O cow stand a day standa day, Stata Day.
Speaker 1: This is the style of the name.
Speaker 2: Out of the Day, brought to you by Panini America,
Speaker 2: the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. First time,
Speaker 2: the four remaining teams have a combined zero turnovers heading
Speaker 2: into the conference championship game. And that's what it comes
Speaker 2: down to. Taking care of the football. Try not to
Speaker 2: do too much knowing your identity and taking advantage of
Speaker 2: opportunities when they're there, and you saw that with the Eagles.
Speaker 2: Jalen hurts. Is just that Jalen is hurting, don't know.
Speaker 2: I haven't seen an update on that. I'm going to
Speaker 2: guess An Mri on his leg, his knee when it
Speaker 2: got twisted a little bit there, did go to the
Speaker 2: blue tent. But at this stage of the season getting
Speaker 2: him out there, how valuable do you change your game
Speaker 2: plan because of that? I would probably say, how about
Speaker 2: a little more Saquon Barkley that seems to be working
Speaker 2: quite well. Didn't understand second half. I thought the Ravens
Speaker 2: would go heavy with Derrick Henry.
Speaker 1: They did not. Came down to.
Speaker 2: Mark Andrews and that two point conversion that he dropped
Speaker 2: that had an opportunity to send it into overtime. Watching
Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford yesterday in those conditions, he had some passes
Speaker 2: that were just like, I can't even think that he
Speaker 2: thought about throwing that pass and then completing it, and
Speaker 2: I thought they I thought they were going to win
Speaker 2: that game in the end. I just thought, boy, the Eagles,
Speaker 2: the Eagles got to do something here.
Speaker 1: What are you doing. You're letting him complete some passes.
Speaker 2: Jalen Carter had maybe the biggest play of the game
Speaker 2: with a sack. The Eagles had a missed extra point.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm always watching the game. I'm watching it
Speaker 2: for differing reasons, like what guests do we have on,
Speaker 2: what's the point spread, what's the over under? You know,
Speaker 2: just there's a variety of things, a myriad of things
Speaker 2: that I'm thinking about. And I'm watching the game, and
Speaker 2: I texted the Danis. I said, twenty two six point
Speaker 2: margin for entertainment purposes only. And then I thought Stafford
Speaker 2: the wave was going with those two receivers, and maybe
Speaker 2: they were going to get that opportunity, score, touchdown, kick
Speaker 2: an extra point, and actually be hosting the NFC title game.
Speaker 1: Amazing. All right, SA, good morning.
Speaker 2: If you're watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app,
Speaker 2: or radio affiliates around the country say mentioned Steve Young
Speaker 2: will stop by here in a little bit. Ohio State
Speaker 2: is favored by eight and a half against Notre Dame.
Speaker 2: The promo on ESPN ESPN Radio talks about David versus Goliath.
Speaker 2: If Boise State was playing Ohio State I'll give you that.
Speaker 2: Hard to say. Notre Dame is a David versus Goliath
Speaker 2: against Ohio State. A lot of storylines with this as well.
Speaker 2: We talked to Ryan Clark of ESPN. His son Jordan
Speaker 2: is a safety and he'll be starting tonight, even the quarterbacks.
Speaker 2: This isn't normal for Notre Dame, but they've done it
Speaker 2: back to back years, Sam Hartman, now Riley Leonard, where
Speaker 2: you're taking the Notre Dame doesn't do this or didn't
Speaker 2: do this. They like to have that guy who comes
Speaker 2: in and he's part of Notre Dame's family for four
Speaker 2: years or five years. Now, it's all right, Hey, we
Speaker 2: got some transfers here. We're going to use the portal.
Speaker 2: I think they have maybe eight starters who are from
Speaker 2: the transfer portal. Things have changed, things are constantly changing
Speaker 2: and will continue to change.
Speaker 1: As I told you last.
Speaker 2: Week, I had gotten information nothing was going to change
Speaker 2: with the playoffs until the following year. That's when the
Speaker 2: new TV deal goes into effect and probably expanding to
Speaker 2: fourteen teams. And then if you go to twenty thirty
Speaker 2: two when the contract is up again, that's probably when
Speaker 2: we go to sixteen teams. As far as buys seating
Speaker 2: all that that's probably going to happen next year, after
Speaker 2: this next season. Therefore, you got a new contract that
Speaker 2: will be put into place, all right, Satan poll question
Speaker 2: from hour one, I don't even know what we went with.
Speaker 2: It flew by so quickly, and what are we going
Speaker 2: to go with an hour two hour.
Speaker 4: One we had up there tougher loss for the Lions
Speaker 4: or the Ravens right right now, seventy one percent to
Speaker 4: that have the Lions? Is that being a tougher loss?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get it because you're at home, you had
Speaker 2: home field advantage. You were just trying to survive, get
Speaker 2: through the title game, maybe Aiden Hutchinson comes back.
Speaker 1: I get that.
Speaker 4: It's almost like hope is more crushing than expectations in
Speaker 4: a way. The Lions were. I mean, I know they
Speaker 4: had expectations too, but there was kind of the hope
Speaker 4: of like, man, this might be our year. Ravens seemingly
Speaker 4: are here every year, and it's like, all right, let's
Speaker 4: see if we can not do it again this year.
Speaker 1: Oh well we did.
Speaker 2: And then it was weird because I was sort of
Speaker 2: leaning towards wanting Baltimore to win. I thought Buffalo would win,
Speaker 2: but maybe Baltimore would be a better matchup against Kansas City. Now,
Speaker 2: if you say, you know Buffalo and Kansas City go
Speaker 2: down to the final seconds, great, I'd be happy because
Speaker 2: I don't have a rooting interest with it. And you
Speaker 2: know the same in the NFC. Now, I do love
Speaker 2: Washington's story. They far exceeded what I thought. And I
Speaker 2: just thought that they were going to be one of
Speaker 2: two teams to keep an eye on this season. They're
Speaker 2: far more than that. And give credit dan Quinn, Cliff Kingsbury,
Speaker 2: and absolutely Jaden Daniels with what he does. This is
Speaker 2: just different Like normally with a rookie, you go, well,
Speaker 2: eventually he's going to act like a rookie. He's acting
Speaker 2: more like a veteran than he is a rookie. And
Speaker 2: you saw that where they didn't flinch. They just kept
Speaker 2: putting up points. And I thought it was interesting that
Speaker 2: it was the Commander's going forward on fourth down. Normally
Speaker 2: it's the Lions. This time it was the Commanders. But
Speaker 2: I guess I just factor this in. If I have
Speaker 2: a weapon like Jayden Daniels, now you have to stop
Speaker 2: him four times. It's the same thing with Kansas City
Speaker 2: with Mahomes, Like, there's certain quarterbacks where you go, can
Speaker 2: you stop Josh Allen four downs? No matter where it is,
Speaker 2: And that's where I would always lean towards. If it's
Speaker 2: fourth and two, I'm going for fourth and three, I'm
Speaker 2: going for it. Maybe fourth and four, I'm going for
Speaker 2: it because it's keep pressure, keep the ball. And if
Speaker 2: I've got that marquee quarterback who is just different, and
Speaker 2: Josh certainly is.
Speaker 1: We know Mahomes is Jaden Daniels. You just go see.
Speaker 2: I don't know if Hurts is going to be that
Speaker 2: kind of quarterback, certainly in this game coming up, how
Speaker 2: banged up he is. But when you have that and
Speaker 2: the defense knows we have to stop you for four downs,
Speaker 2: not hey we got you second and long. Now it's
Speaker 2: third and four, and now it's fourth and two, you
Speaker 2: don't have to worry about Matthew Stafford running if you're
Speaker 2: the Eagles defense. But if you're the Eagles against the Commanders,
Speaker 2: I mean Mahomes, you always have to factor that in.
Speaker 2: And there was a play that he threw the touchdown
Speaker 2: pass and to Travis Kelcey and you're thinking, you know
Speaker 2: that they're putting heat on him. The Texans are putting
Speaker 2: heat on him, but he just wiggles out.
Speaker 1: Just a little, just a little.
Speaker 2: They're holding on to him, and then he throws to
Speaker 2: a wide open Travis Kelcey.
Speaker 1: Now the point that I and I said last week,
Speaker 1: watch him.
Speaker 2: He'll have nine catches, you know, or seven catches ninety
Speaker 2: yards and a touchdown.
Speaker 1: I think he had close to that.
Speaker 2: There's three Texans around him. He's the guy I gotta
Speaker 2: worry about come playoff time. Him and Gronk, those are
Speaker 2: the guys where you go, where is he?
Speaker 1: Where is he? Because if you.
Speaker 2: Get caught up in that lazy analysis of I don't
Speaker 2: know he's slowing down a little bit, he is, but
Speaker 2: you still have to account for him. And that was
Speaker 2: the problem that I had on that play. But it's
Speaker 2: my homes and I expect him. I don't know if
Speaker 2: it's I expect the unexpected because we've we've seen what
Speaker 2: would be the unexpected, and it's it's no longer unexpected.
Speaker 1: Yeah, pulling, And.
Speaker 5: When you watch replays at Travis Kelcey, it feels like
Speaker 5: a lot of his routes are option routes for the
Speaker 5: lack of a better phrase, he kind of he jogged
Speaker 5: towards the end zone. Then he took two steps to
Speaker 5: his right and almost like a zone defense. He just
Speaker 5: found a pocket. On that drive, he had two third
Speaker 5: down conversions, Kelsey catches and the game and the touchdown
Speaker 5: to take a lead.
Speaker 2: And they have to have obviously they have great chemistry,
Speaker 2: but they also have Hey, you're either going to go
Speaker 2: right or left, and that's probably what it is. He
Speaker 2: just figures out what the defense gives and they continue
Speaker 2: to do this. I mean, it's it's still formidable, but
Speaker 2: make no mistake about it, the Texans lost that game
Speaker 2: because they couldn't protect their quarterback. All right, we'll get
Speaker 2: phone calls coming up. Best and worst of the weekend
Speaker 2: Brian and Charlotte leads us off this second hour. Hi Brian,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind today?
Speaker 6: Hey? Dan?
Speaker 7: Best of the week, Eagles over the Rams, Worst of
Speaker 7: the week, Cheats over the Texans. I don't know if
Speaker 7: I'd go so black and white with the text with
Speaker 7: the Texans, just kind of leaving that a game open
Speaker 7: to the Chiefs. I called a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 7: and me and you were on the same page. It's
Speaker 7: just superstar bias. We've seen it with Brady, We've seen
Speaker 7: it with Jordan.
Speaker 6: I'm off that.
Speaker 7: Bandwagon now after seeing that game on Saturday. I just
Speaker 7: I you've got Mike Francesa, Troy and Joe Buck, Colin Calvert,
Speaker 7: Russell Yorke, Triy ethics, Don did not all chirping about
Speaker 7: the officiating.
Speaker 8: And I'm full.
Speaker 7: Conspiracy theorist now, Dan, I think the NFL is working
Speaker 7: with these officials to get the Chiefs into.
Speaker 1: The Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: Okay, I didn't think fans liked the Chiefs, right, I mean,
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 7: I guess maybe not. But I just I've never seen
Speaker 7: a game quite like that on Saturday. They were four
Speaker 7: instances I counted them, four instances where balls were spotted strangely,
Speaker 7: one of which with the Chiefs being a yard and
Speaker 7: a half short of the first down, and then at
Speaker 7: first they were given a first down, and then one
Speaker 7: of the head officials side officials how to respot the
Speaker 7: ball because it was so egregious.
Speaker 2: But Brian, I can agree that there are moments where
Speaker 2: we go, boy, that kind of that's a bad call.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm going to factor in read
Speaker 2: into allow the conspiracy theory and thanks for the phone call.
Speaker 2: Where you go, the NFL wants the Chiefs in the
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, why wouldn't they want the Lions in there too.
Speaker 2: America probably wants the Lions. Everybody except for those in
Speaker 2: the Washington, DC area. So when we talk about great
Speaker 2: players do get more calls, they do. But if you
Speaker 2: look at the number of times that Patrick Mahomes was
Speaker 2: there was roughing the pastor on Mahomes, Jared Goff was
Speaker 2: roughed more times than he was. I don't think that
Speaker 2: the penalties are going to show that they get preferential treatment.
Speaker 2: It's we watch the Chiefs more than any other team
Speaker 2: because they have that window of Sunday night football, late
Speaker 2: Sunday afternoon football or maybe a Monday night game. So
Speaker 2: you're seeing the national games. You're seeing these moments here, yes, Marvin.
Speaker 9: And the thing is the NFL doesn't care who's in
Speaker 9: the Super Bowl because everybody's going to watch it, and
Speaker 9: there's a storyline with no matter what team is in there.
Speaker 9: It's not MLB, it's not the NBA. It's like, oh,
Speaker 9: we need these two teams for more eyeballs on the sport.
Speaker 9: It doesn't matter with the NFL. It doesn't matter who's in.
Speaker 2: They're guaranteed of over one hundred million people watching the
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, guaranteed every year they break a new record.
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. It truly doesn't matter. The only people
Speaker 2: who care are the host cities because they want to
Speaker 2: make sure that fan base travel. I can imagine if
Speaker 2: Detroit was going to be in the Super Bowl. Imagine
Speaker 2: that fan base Washington, if the Commanders imagine that fan base.
Speaker 2: The Eagles they travel, the Chiefs they travel. I mean
Speaker 2: that's all. Those are the people who care about who's
Speaker 2: in the super Bowl, not the NFL. Zach and Knoxville.
Speaker 1: Hi, Zach.
Speaker 7: DT, thanks for.
Speaker 1: Taking my call, man.
Speaker 10: I just wanted to talk about the Commanders a little bit.
Speaker 11: Man.
Speaker 10: I moved to Knoxville in nineteen ninety two and my
Speaker 10: dad passed away last year and we always joked that
Speaker 10: he cursed the Skins and that's not making the playoffs
Speaker 10: because we moved here.
Speaker 1: And then it just we're playing a team of destiny,
Speaker 1: and it.
Speaker 10: Seems like we're a team of destiny.
Speaker 1: So I feel games in Virginia. Man, this is a
Speaker 1: it's sports, but it's emotional.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: It makes you, you know, it all comes full circle.
Speaker 2: Well, you just hear Dan Campbell, you hear his voice.
Speaker 2: Play it, Marvin after the loss. Here's the lion set, coach.
Speaker 6: Can you lose these games?
Speaker 12: Man?
Speaker 13: It's like the players, what they put into it. A
Speaker 13: lot of people don't know. You know what they go through.
Speaker 13: You have to get up the bodies, beach is you know, mentally,
Speaker 13: stay locked in and do those things.
Speaker 2: So long season, this was the year you had the
Speaker 2: big lead. Last year you lost it. Now we thought, okay,
Speaker 2: now they come back. Now they learn maybe they're not
Speaker 2: as aggressive on fourth downs, and then they had all
Speaker 2: the injuries, but they still ended up with home field advantage,
Speaker 2: and you got that feeling that this was their year.
Speaker 2: Thanks for the phone call, Zach, Well take a break.
Speaker 2: We'll get some more phone calls, give you our best

Speaker 2: brought to you by Panini America Official Trading cards to
Speaker 2: The Dan Patrick Show. Last time two NFC East teams
Speaker 2: met in the conference championship game nineteen eighty six, that's
Speaker 2: when the Giants meet the beat the then Redskins seventeen
Speaker 2: to nothing. So same division opponents in a conference championship game.
Speaker 2: Since two thousand, you had the Rams and Niners in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, Seahawks Niners in twenty thirteen, Packers Bears
Speaker 2: twenty ten, and then two thousand and eight the Steelers
Speaker 2: against the Ravens. Hall of Famer Steve Young back on
Speaker 2: the program, I was wondering. You grew up on the
Speaker 2: East Coast in Connecticut, so you're familiar with snow. But
Speaker 2: playing day, didn't you have a game when you were
Speaker 2: with Tampa Bay you played Green Bay in a snowstorm?
Speaker 1: Does that sound man?
Speaker 6: Come on? That's the lowest attendance in the history at
Speaker 6: lambeau Field because no one could get to the field.
Speaker 6: There's a snowplow, two snowplows in front of the bus
Speaker 6: from the from the hotel and the only people that
Speaker 6: came to the game literally were people who snow shoot
Speaker 6: in or snowmobile outside of lambeau Field was like three
Speaker 6: hundred snowmobiles. Is how the game went. And we were
Speaker 6: wearing white, and we didn't wear and of course we
Speaker 6: forgot all the winter gear, so I wore. Everyone's wearing
Speaker 6: their suits underneath their clothes like anything you get a
Speaker 6: hold of, they were wearing and we were wearing white.
Speaker 6: I go out there and play. I couldn't see anything.
Speaker 6: My second game as an NFL pro. I'm like, Bro,
Speaker 6: I can't I don't know where anybody is. And I
Speaker 6: thought for a little while that I wouldn't complete a
Speaker 6: pass Dad. It was I mean it was in the
Speaker 6: second quarter. I'm like, I don't want to be the
Speaker 6: first player in the history of the NFL that didn't
Speaker 6: complete a pass.
Speaker 1: Call it.
Speaker 6: So I had James Wilder by running back. I was like, James, look,
Speaker 6: I got to complete a pass, bro, So I'm going
Speaker 6: to drop back. Just come in front of me and
Speaker 6: I'm going to shovel it to you and you can
Speaker 6: look at the stats. I think the first half I
Speaker 6: was two for fourteen for minus three yards.
Speaker 2: You had eight completions I think, and six were to
Speaker 2: James Wilder in that game.
Speaker 6: Because I could see James just like he was close
Speaker 6: to me. He would scream at me like I could
Speaker 6: hear him. I could hear him, so I knew that
Speaker 6: he was close.
Speaker 2: Well, isn't an advantage for the offense in weather like that?
Speaker 6: I think it is because anytime it's slippery or then
Speaker 6: you you know, you know where you're going and the
Speaker 6: defense doesn't. It makes you know. Obviously, the mistakes are
Speaker 6: bigger because the footing. And yes, I thought, as long
Speaker 6: as you have a quarterback that can that can mut it,
Speaker 6: that's a huge I think it's a huge advantage.
Speaker 2: Give me the game that kind of puzzled you this weekend.
Speaker 6: Well, you know, obviously the Commanders. What I loved about
Speaker 6: what they did was they went into a you know,
Speaker 6: tough place, number one seed, and they just ripped it right.
Speaker 6: And they they didn't wait around, they didn't wonder, they
Speaker 6: didn't kind of feel it out. That playoff football is
Speaker 6: about taking it from bloody hands, and so if you're
Speaker 6: gonna do it, especially in that situation, you've got to
Speaker 6: run it out. And what I mean That's all they did,
Speaker 6: is they just ran it right out to the fourth
Speaker 6: quarter and the Lions is that's what playoff football is amazing.
Speaker 6: People don't realize how like baseball, basketball, it takes a
Speaker 6: week and a half to figure out who's going to
Speaker 6: win a series. In football, you've literally in a half.
Speaker 6: You can lose it all in many ways. The Ravens
Speaker 6: in the first half a couple of turnovers. You know,
Speaker 6: am I really going to win a playoff game on
Speaker 6: the road with two turnovers in the first half? Even
Speaker 6: in a halftime, you got to wonder to yourself, have
Speaker 6: I already blown it? And it's a tough spot.
Speaker 2: But I brought this up with Ryan Clark of ESPN
Speaker 2: Last Hour, and I said to Ryan, is Josh Allen
Speaker 2: consciously trying not to do too many things like put
Speaker 2: on the cape? I don't can as a quarterback? Can
Speaker 2: you consciously think about don't try to do too much
Speaker 2: like you've done before?
Speaker 6: Dan, that is the art of quarterbacking exactly. If you
Speaker 6: can't do that, you won't be great. And I think
Speaker 6: that's what Patrick Mahomes has moved into, That's what Josh
Speaker 6: has moved into a place where they can be Superman,
Speaker 6: and they can be Superman almost every play. And you
Speaker 6: remember early in Patrick's career and Josh even as of
Speaker 6: last year, they put on the Superman cape so much
Speaker 6: that you actually can't it's it doesn't work, it blows
Speaker 6: up on you. And so you either figure out how
Speaker 6: to become a a very sophisticated passer in the pocket,
Speaker 6: get everything you can out of the play, and then
Speaker 6: be patient and recognize where the spots are where you
Speaker 6: can be Superman and where you can't be because you
Speaker 6: can't be every play. And I give both of them
Speaker 6: tremendous credit and maturity and how to figure out because
Speaker 6: in the game, you have to have legs. In this game,
Speaker 6: you have to be able to threaten the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 6: You're going to cut touch the ball eighty plus times
Speaker 6: a game. Every time you touch the ball as a quarterback,
Speaker 6: you have to be able to threaten the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 6: Doesn't and you do it, but the threat has to
Speaker 6: be there because it's so you've saw it all weekend.
Speaker 6: How many yards are there free yards for quarterbacks touchdowns,
Speaker 6: first downs, and and if you don't have that ability,
Speaker 6: you are behind the game. Jared goff behind the game.
Speaker 6: He has to throw his way down there all the time.
Speaker 6: And you saw when you have to throw your way
Speaker 6: down there all the time, it wears out where the
Speaker 6: other guys they can get on their stuff the other
Speaker 6: the field threat, the line of scrimmage, threat, line of
Speaker 6: scrimmage put defenses on their back. It's a huge difference.
Speaker 6: So yes, Josh Allen understanding that the Superman cape comes
Speaker 6: and goes. Is the maturity of Josh Allen.
Speaker 1: Where does composure come from?
Speaker 6: Well, in some ways, you're you know, it's like a
Speaker 6: gift from heaven, right like you you have a way
Speaker 6: of dealing with you know, adrenaline comes into your body
Speaker 6: and most human beings, it shrinks your brain, you get tight,
Speaker 6: you sweat you and sometimes things get tight and people
Speaker 6: respond opposite, like your heartbeat goes slower, you kind of
Speaker 6: calm down. And and those are the guys that you know,
Speaker 6: those are the greats. And composure is something that you
Speaker 6: you know, you have that kind of gift from heaven
Speaker 6: and then you also develop it. You develop it through experience. Now,
Speaker 6: Patrick Mahomes showed up in the NFL first game. I
Speaker 6: covered them on Monday night. I'm standing on the sidelines
Speaker 6: and the dude is sprinting right towards me full speed.
Speaker 6: Guy's chasing him down for the Denver Broncos, and like
Speaker 6: you know in the NFL, you don't you know, I mean,
Speaker 6: it's crazy speed. The game's played at and he's he
Speaker 6: throws it lefty and you could see as he's coming
Speaker 6: he's not the adrenaline is running, but he's not like
Speaker 6: he's just kind of checking out, like he's in his
Speaker 6: backyard and kind of figuring out, Okay, what can I
Speaker 6: do here? What can I do? You know what? Maybe
Speaker 6: I'll try this? And that's how he that composure was
Speaker 6: was God given and he showed up with it. And
Speaker 6: I also think for him, particularly when you have a
Speaker 6: professional athlete, dad grew up with a certain mentality that
Speaker 6: most of us have to go to the NFL and
Speaker 6: have to work through the composure thing. I think he
Speaker 6: kind of showed up that way. Think Peyton Manahan the
Speaker 6: same kind of spirit.
Speaker 1: But explain Jade and Daniels.
Speaker 6: So I'm telling you just did some people respond and
Speaker 6: a presence under pressure opposite of what most humans do.
Speaker 6: It's it's it's irrational to the human experience but some
Speaker 6: guys just and that's why they're great. And great quarterbacks
Speaker 6: generally have this ability as the as things use. Look,
Speaker 6: that's the filter for quarterbacks. How many quarterbacks you see
Speaker 6: when it gets tight, they oh my god, and then
Speaker 6: their game gets smaller. They don't do as much. Their
Speaker 6: athleticism starts to disappear, their mind starts to speed up,
Speaker 6: and they can't process the way they did. And some
Speaker 6: people are just built different. And he's built that different.
Speaker 6: You can see it. And in today's game, he is
Speaker 6: the old met prototype. He is threatening line of scrimmage
Speaker 6: every play and can as he learns, he'll get he'll
Speaker 6: figure out, you know, some of the things we just
Speaker 6: talked about Superman Cape, but he threatens it every every
Speaker 6: every play. And with an innovative play caller. And you've
Speaker 6: talked we you don't have talked about this, but I'd
Speaker 6: like to say half the league has an innovative play
Speaker 6: caller who understands the game has changed, that there's more space.
Speaker 6: How you deploy people out in the space is not
Speaker 6: like twenty fifteen. And how many teams in this league, Dan,
Speaker 6: I've stretched my eyeballs out. We're still running plays from
Speaker 6: twenty fifteen and thinking, oh, this is the way we
Speaker 6: used to do it. We were really good. We're like, bro,
Speaker 6: those days are over. You give me an innovative play. Caller.
Speaker 6: Cliff Kingsbury is amazing innovation. You saw some of the
Speaker 6: cool plays over the weekend. People are coming up with
Speaker 6: crazy stuff that's amazing, and you can deploy it in
Speaker 6: this way because the game has changed. The field is bigger,
Speaker 6: and then Jayden can just fill it all up and
Speaker 6: it's fun to watch. And look, I'm if I'm the Commanders,
Speaker 6: I'm going to Philadelphia on a championship weekend. I'm going
Speaker 6: to run it out just like it did against the Lions. Like,
Speaker 6: just run them out of the building. They cannot stay
Speaker 6: up with them. They cannot score forty, they can't go
Speaker 6: thirty five, they can't score thirty. So just run it
Speaker 6: out and let him chase you. That's the way I
Speaker 6: would do it.
Speaker 2: Steve Young, Hall of Famer joining us, We get caught
Speaker 2: up as members of the media, which you were a
Speaker 2: member of the media, but also Hall of Famer. We
Speaker 2: look at postseason success at the quarterbacking position, whether it's
Speaker 2: fair or not. We look at that and here's Lamar
Speaker 2: Jackson probably on the verge of a third MVP and
Speaker 2: then he bows out again. How important is postseason success
Speaker 2: maybe for the legacy of Lamar Jackson In the end.
Speaker 6: We have to live it out, Dan, you know, you
Speaker 6: have to. You just it's the fact. It's a percept. Look,
Speaker 6: perception is nine tenths of the law. It used to
Speaker 6: be possession in law school, but put perception is nine
Speaker 6: cents of the law. In other words, if that's the
Speaker 6: way that everyone wants to respond to Super Bowls, then
Speaker 6: you better get on board. And I think Lamar is
Speaker 6: on board with that. You can see it, you can
Speaker 6: see the pain. I love that guy. I think he's
Speaker 6: an amazing football player. And as he gets to become
Speaker 6: a more sophisticated passer and the Ravens lean in, I
Speaker 6: appreciate the hybrid they're leaving the Harbaugh run the ball,
Speaker 6: play great defense, like that's twenty fifteen, Like you have
Speaker 6: got to enter into this new space that I think
Speaker 6: the Ravens have done in new play caller and you know,
Speaker 6: and I think he's making the transition and he's he
Speaker 6: is the most dangerous player in the field almost every
Speaker 6: time except for you know, when he run plumbs into
Speaker 6: Patrick or runs into Josh. And so the pain is real,
Speaker 6: the reality is real. You're not gonna you're not gonna
Speaker 6: you're not gonna have the perception of the of who
Speaker 6: you are as an athlete without it. And that's just
Speaker 6: the way it is. And he's and you can see
Speaker 6: it in him. He goes through the regular season and
Speaker 6: they run through the rank and file of the NFL
Speaker 6: Ravens over and over and over again, and you can
Speaker 6: see it. This year he was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever, whatever,
Speaker 6: I'll see in January. I'll see in January. I'll see
Speaker 6: in January. You want to be ambach, I'll see in January.
Speaker 6: I don't care. I don't care. And so that's why
Speaker 6: yesterday was particularly painful. And and like he said, after
Speaker 6: the game, what a stud When you know Market dropped
Speaker 6: the ball and everyone say, well, that's the game, then
Speaker 6: he's like, no, bro, I had two turnovers. I can't
Speaker 6: turn the ball over. And that's the thing about the
Speaker 6: playoff football. They didn't what They turned over the ball
Speaker 6: three times forty intercept like that. It had been amazing
Speaker 6: and then all of a sudden, you know, mistakes, mistakes,
Speaker 6: mistakes three turnovers, and like I said, you got to
Speaker 6: take it from bloody hands in the playoffs and especially
Speaker 6: in the super Bowl and the and the Bills.
Speaker 1: Did You're talking about perception.
Speaker 2: The perception is that the officials play favorite, certainly with Patrick.
Speaker 1: Mahomes consciously, subconsciously.
Speaker 6: No, I honestly, I think Pat is a you know, hones.
Speaker 6: He superman when he wants to, and he's figured that out.
Speaker 6: He's an artist, and look, you can say he should
Speaker 6: just you shouldn't use the art of the presence of
Speaker 6: mind that he has on the field to lure people
Speaker 6: into trouble. He's like the kid down the streets like, hey,
Speaker 6: let's go down here, and you know this will be fun.
Speaker 6: Try it, you know, like no bro, And he lures
Speaker 6: officials into the same way. I think in so many
Speaker 6: ways he's just you have to. You might you might
Speaker 6: say I hate Patrick Mahomes because he gets presperential retreatment.
Speaker 6: He got Look trust me on this now, he's not
Speaker 6: the officials get get graded. All they're thinking is I
Speaker 6: want to get it right. I want to get it
Speaker 6: right because I mean to get graded in the NFL
Speaker 6: and I want to run the Super Bowl and I
Speaker 6: want to I want to have a playoff game. Like
Speaker 6: that's all that's going through their minds. They are not thinking,
Speaker 6: oh wow, I got to help the Chiefs out. Now
Speaker 6: everyone on the outside is like, why are they opened
Speaker 6: out the chiefs? Patrick has he's like kid to lures you,
Speaker 6: Like he he's even luresing the officials because he's like that.
Speaker 6: He has a way of giving a sense that that
Speaker 6: was that was a foul.
Speaker 2: Did you get preferential treat Did you in Montana get
Speaker 2: preferential treatment?
Speaker 6: It's a different time, Dan, You might say preferential treatment
Speaker 6: means that they didn't really get to l w in
Speaker 6: the growing in the way. Rather they got you in
Speaker 6: the they got you in the chest. You know what
Speaker 6: I mean? Like, no, that's a preferential treatment is that
Speaker 6: they didn't actually draw blood, Like hey, no blood this time,
Speaker 6: So that's good.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 6: But I think I think you had you had officials
Speaker 6: that your friends, you know what I mean, Like like
Speaker 6: you got to Jerry, Mark Bright and and and uh
Speaker 6: just guys that you've ran into all the time in
Speaker 6: all the big games, and you had conversations all the times.
Speaker 6: Like I remember Jerry was great because you throw a ball.
Speaker 6: It was tough ball, you know, led the receiver open,
Speaker 6: you know, in traffic, and he's you'd get up from
Speaker 6: getting pounded and goes, hey, that's a good ball, nice throw,
Speaker 6: you know, like he was a fan.
Speaker 2: Did you ever get an official gift? No, of course,
Speaker 2: like you pause there for a moment, like a jersey,
Speaker 2: a football?
Speaker 1: Did you ever know Christmas?
Speaker 6: Jim Tunney was my favorite? But like, no, you know,
Speaker 6: I would I have never other than Jim I spoke.
Speaker 6: He became a friend later in the area. Uh, and
Speaker 6: uh you know the story when uh one of the officials, Uh,
Speaker 6: I did get professional treatment briefly because his daughter. He says,
Speaker 6: you know, you see, he's in law school and when
Speaker 6: I was going to law school too, and he's like,
Speaker 6: you guys should go on a date, you know. And
Speaker 6: I'm like, all right, fine, you know, and uh and
Speaker 6: then I got foul, I mean I got hit and
Speaker 6: he threw the flag and he says, she likes Mexican,
Speaker 6: you know, and like, let's miss up.
Speaker 1: So wait a minute, if it came out you were.
Speaker 6: Dating, dive into this one.
Speaker 2: If you were not dating, I'm not bringing up Marie Osmon,
Speaker 2: how long did you date Marie Ansman.
Speaker 6: Oh, we had a couple of dates for it's a couple.
Speaker 2: You're scrambling. Now you're not getting preferential treatment.
Speaker 6: That's all right, that's what I do. That's what of
Speaker 6: the game's come to me. Dan, It's twenty twenty five
Speaker 6: minutes my game.
Speaker 2: So just don't man imagine if it came out that
Speaker 2: Josh Allen was dating an official's daughter, you were dating, you.
Speaker 1: Two got an official, then you.
Speaker 6: Could really complain. Then you could really complain instead of.
Speaker 2: Just we didn't know about it because we didn't know
Speaker 2: that you went out with somebody to get preferential treatment.
Speaker 1: You know what. Super Bowls certainted. Now.
Speaker 6: I did never go out stop, it didn't happen.
Speaker 13: Relax.
Speaker 6: It was just a fun moment that I trying to
Speaker 6: like light in the moment when you hear it's a
Speaker 6: tough show. I'm just trying to, you know, bring some
Speaker 6: you know, ballast to this thing. Man.
Speaker 2: You know what, now you've now you know how the
Speaker 2: Chargers felt in the Super Bowl when you were lighting
Speaker 2: them up and you never ever stopped throwing the football.
Speaker 1: Steve Right, Hey.
Speaker 6: Hey, it was it was Mike Shannan told me pregame
Speaker 6: eight touchdowns, we're throwing eight touchdowns? He did no. He
Speaker 6: looked at me right in the eye.
Speaker 1: Well you could have.
Speaker 6: See, you know how serious he is. He's like, he's Mike,
Speaker 6: let's go over it against Shanahan.
Speaker 1: So he would like.
Speaker 6: We were a freak game and we were going over
Speaker 6: it again.
Speaker 13: Right.
Speaker 6: Well, you know how long the Super Bowl is. It
Speaker 6: goes forever, right, And so finally he's like, let's go
Speaker 6: over it again. Let's go over again, Mike. I can't
Speaker 6: go over it again. Man. I know you love to
Speaker 6: go over it again. I do too, but we can't
Speaker 6: go over it again. He goes, Okay, eight touchdowns.
Speaker 1: You know you were the leading rusher in that game too.
Speaker 6: Those are the days, Dan, what it could have been.
Speaker 6: Remember when Shannan she came into halftime. You know what
Speaker 6: he did and he looked me dead in the eye
Speaker 6: and he went like this four and so that's halftime.
Speaker 6: So when they took me out with six, he was
Speaker 6: he was pissed. But that's Mike. That's why Kyle's That's
Speaker 6: why Kyle's great, great innovator, an amazing play caller, because
Speaker 6: he's like his dad, Like they like father like son,
Speaker 6: that apple didn't have fall fall from the tree because
Speaker 6: that Mike was Mike was all about pounding people into
Speaker 6: absolute submission. And I loved it. I was amazing.
Speaker 1: And what did we learn today?
Speaker 2: Did we learn that Steve young career tainted a little
Speaker 2: bit dated an official's daughter just to get preferential treatment. Okay,
Speaker 2: I mean I respect it. I mean that you're you're
Speaker 2: a winner, is what you are, stud whatever it takes.
Speaker 6: I'm a Dodger, as you know. That's that's what runs
Speaker 6: deep in the blood.
Speaker 2: Yes, yep, that baseball career. They're still talking about it.
Speaker 2: But I could have what I could have been, Dan,
Speaker 2: you were the Shoho Tani of Greenwich, Connecticut.
Speaker 6: What I could have been? Yeah, you know how hard
Speaker 6: it is to be to beat your way out of
Speaker 6: the mead streets of Greenwich.

Speaker 2: take a break. We'll give you our best and worst
Speaker 2: of the weekend after this. Thanks for listening to The
Speaker 2: Dan Patrick Show podcast. Be sure to catch us live
Speaker 2: every weekday morning nine until noon eastern six to nine
Speaker 2: Pacific on Fox Sports Radio, and you can find us
Speaker 2: on the iHeartRadio app at FSR or stream us live
Speaker 2: on the Peacock app where no Jerry Jones and the
Speaker 2: Cowboys still looking for a coach while two of their
Speaker 2: former coordinators are coaching in the NFC title game, Kellen More,
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator for the Eagles, and Dan Quinn, former defensive
Speaker 2: coordinator for the Cowboys, now coaching the Commanders. I saw
Speaker 2: where the Eagles brought in Eddie or No, the Bears
Speaker 2: brought in Eddie George.
Speaker 1: I think that's thirteen candidates. I like it.
Speaker 2: George has very very very very little coaching experience. But
Speaker 2: if this is a Rooney rule that you're bringing in, okay,
Speaker 2: But I mean, after a while, if you're bringing in
Speaker 2: that many, do you really know what you're looking for?
Speaker 2: And that's the thing that I keep coming back to
Speaker 2: do some of these teams really know who they're looking for. Also,
Speaker 2: Lincoln Riley's name was mentioned USC head coach Dallas might
Speaker 2: be bringing him in. I just I said from the outset,
Speaker 2: I didn't think the Dion story was real. But Edwarder
Speaker 2: when he joined us certainly sounded like it was a
Speaker 2: real possibility. But I think that's kind of calmed down
Speaker 2: just a little bit. We'll give you our best and
Speaker 2: worst of the weekend. Also fill in the blank. How
Speaker 2: about Chris and Syracuse joining us on the program? Hi, Chris,
Speaker 2: Hey Dan?
Speaker 3: Hey, you know, Dan, the people who run the NFL
Speaker 3: are pretty darn smart, and I don't think they're going
Speaker 3: to risk their billion dollar industry to try to get
Speaker 3: the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. And I got a
Speaker 3: best and worst to throw at you. Yeah, my worst
Speaker 3: lack of use of Derrick Henry. And I remember when
Speaker 3: Joe Walton was the coach of the New York Jets
Speaker 3: and Freeman McNeil like grand the ball thirty eight times,
Speaker 3: and at a press conference after the game, somebody asked
Speaker 3: him why he ran him so much, and you just said,
Speaker 3: when you have a cannon, you fire it. And Freeman
Speaker 3: McNeil is no Derrick Henry. And best to the Washington
Speaker 3: Command your commanders, and in particular Dan Quinn. And you
Speaker 3: know after how his last Super Bowl when he was
Speaker 3: the head coach went, I'd love to see that guy
Speaker 3: and get another crack at it.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Chris, good to hear from you, Buddha in
Speaker 2: San Francisco. Hi, Buddha.
Speaker 3: Ah, have a dream.
Speaker 8: DP, we're all quarterback, get officiated the thing. Wow, we're
Speaker 8: all official. Stop making phantom calls. Well then, from a
Speaker 8: home seven years as the NFL starter, and about the
Speaker 8: stuff his seventh AFC Championship game, I mean, I gotta
Speaker 8: tip my hat to that. Best of the weekend and
Speaker 8: Josh Allen, he won this weekend in my opinion, Dan
Speaker 8: MVP and his movement at game's end was just honorable.
Speaker 8: He went straight for Lamar give him some dapt I
Speaker 8: thought that was solid and classy gesture. Worst of the weekend, Well,
Speaker 8: this one's hard. DP at the three way tie between
Speaker 8: the Lions being depleted and stunned at home and then
Speaker 8: the Ravens forgetting they had Derreck Henry in the second
Speaker 8: half and Mark Andrews literally dropping the ball.
Speaker 6: Not good.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Budha Todd beston Worst of the weekend.
Speaker 12: Best of the weekend the performance by and composure of
Speaker 12: We mentioned it a number of times. Commanders working quarterback
Speaker 12: Jayden Daniels twenty two to thirty one for two hundred
Speaker 12: ninety nine yards two tds, sixteen rushers for fifty one
Speaker 12: yards and completed a couple of fourth down passes to
Speaker 12: keep a couple of touchdown drives alive. Worst of the
Speaker 12: weekend officiating in the Texans cheachs game over protecting Patrick
Speaker 12: Mahomes most of the Texans, letting Travis Kelcey do whatever
Speaker 12: he wanted it on the field.
Speaker 1: Seating best and worst of the weekend.
Speaker 4: My best of the weekend is actually watching the Ravens
Speaker 4: players and coaching staff sort of rally around Mark Andrews
Speaker 4: and be like, no, no, no, no, not his fault.
Speaker 1: We wouldn't be here without him.
Speaker 4: I can't imagine how terrible he's feeling even this morning
Speaker 4: waking up, but he must just feel awful. That's one
Speaker 4: of those They could win three Super Bowls moving forward,
Speaker 4: and Mark Andrews is going to remember how this feels
Speaker 4: more than any of those wins.
Speaker 2: So he really feel terrible for that guy. Yeah, he
Speaker 2: didn't meet with the media after the game.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but his teammates have his back, which is which
Speaker 4: is really great. My worst of the weekend is watching
Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomes flop. That drives me crazy.
Speaker 2: I understand why he does it, as long as you're
Speaker 2: going to get the calls.
Speaker 1: I get it.
Speaker 4: I mean it's well, I shouldn't say it. However, you
Speaker 4: can't dance around the sideline that long for this many seasons.
Speaker 2: Somebody's gonna how many times have I said this? Somebody
Speaker 2: is going to take the penalty, somebody is going to
Speaker 2: pop him. Old school football, he would have been popped already. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Marvin Best and Worst of the weekend.
Speaker 1: Best of the weekend, Steve Spagnola. We heard a lot
Speaker 1: of bags. What's he gonna dial up here? That's right, Hey,
Speaker 1: they got after him.
Speaker 6: I mean c J.
Speaker 9: Stroud, Chiefs defense, eight sacks, unbelievable performance. I don't know
Speaker 9: if you call this best or worst, but Caitlin Clark
Speaker 9: sitting next to Taylor Swift.
Speaker 6: I'm not sure how people felt about that.
Speaker 2: But wow, well there's a certain part of the population
Speaker 2: that didn't like it.
Speaker 9: Like, you know, what, if you guys are really sick
Speaker 9: of us, you're prepared to.
Speaker 14: Yes, exactly, Paulie. Best and worst. I'll go with Bill's
Speaker 14: wide receiver Khalil Shakir. He's a really good player that
Speaker 14: doesn't get a lot of coverage. Seven targets, six catches,
Speaker 14: he's becoming.
Speaker 1: You didn't have a lot of coverage from the you know, yeah, the.
Speaker 5: Really nice player really helped them out yesterday when their
Speaker 5: offense wasn't doing a lot worst of the weekend. It's
Speaker 5: weird because it was a fantastic play. The fact that
Speaker 5: because the Lions lost the touchdown catch, the one handed
Speaker 5: diving touchdown catch by Sam Laporta, the tight end of
Speaker 5: the Allions that goes into the ether. Now it goes
Speaker 5: away instead of being a great play on the way
Speaker 5: to a super Bowl and one of the best catches
Speaker 5: I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: No hyperple. Yeah, that was remarkable and it will be lost.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 2: It's like Julio Jones is catching the Super Bowl and
Speaker 2: the loss to the Patriots. It's like never brought up. Alright,
Speaker 2: one more hour to go. We're going to play fill
Speaker 2: in the blank. We love to do that. It's kind
Speaker 2: of an emergency edition. I think a Monday fill in
Speaker 2: the blank. More of your phone calls as well. Operator

Speaker 2: DP show email address Dpadanpatrick dot com Twitter handle a
Speaker 2: DP show two hours of the books on this Monday,
