WEBVTT - HOUR 2- Steve Levy Sep 15, 2020 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:03.520 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:06.800 Sports Radio. It's our two on this Tuesday, Dan and 0:00:06.840 --> 0:00:10.280 the Dane's Dan Patrick Show. Our good friend Andrew Siciliano 0:00:10.360 --> 0:00:13.960 from the Red Zone just tweeted five new NFL head 0:00:13.960 --> 0:00:18.160 coaches Ron Rivera one to oh everyone else, oh and four. 0:00:18.280 --> 0:00:20.520 We'll talk to the coach. He'll join us coming up 0:00:20.800 --> 0:00:24.000 next hour. Also, Steve Levy called the Monday Night game 0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:26.560 in Denver last night. Titans eke it out over the 0:00:26.560 --> 0:00:31.000 Broncos sixteen fourteen and the Steelers beat the Giants twenty sixteen. 0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:36.040 The reaction overreaction will be Ben is back and the 0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:38.879 Steelers are going to be formidable. I think the Steelers 0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:41.479 are going to be formidable because of that defense. I 0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:43.559 don't know what to expect from Ben. He had three 0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:47.480 touchdowns last night. They seem to find wide receivers in Pittsburgh. 0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:50.200 They don't have the skill level that they once had 0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:54.120 with Antonio Brown and Levian Bell and the Giants. It's 0:00:54.120 --> 0:00:56.440 going to be another long season for the Giants unless 0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:58.720 they shore up the offensive line. And I know that's 0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:01.160 that throwaway line. Well, they got to get a better 0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:05.200 offensive line. You just can't find these guys, it's really hard. 0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:07.399 And I'll go back to a couple of years ago 0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:10.680 when an NFL scout said it's really hard to find 0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:15.240 good offensive lineman in college football because how they block, 0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:19.120 what their schemes are completely different than what we ask 0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:22.440 for in the NFL. And I think when we've seen 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:25.319 a lot of high draft picks and they've been spent 0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:29.040 on offensive lineman and there is no guarantee because the 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:32.040 Giants used a top five pick on an offensive lineman 0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:36.320 and he looked like he belonged back in college, it 0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:39.600 takes a while. And what happens is, you know, New 0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:42.560 England rarely takes an offensive lineman. You know, with a 0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:45.560 high draft pick. They have a system, they develop it, 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:48.120 and you know it helps that you got the same 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:51.800 quarterback and you had the same coach offensive coordinator, and 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:54.160 you just kind of plug them in and you find 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:57.560 the right people who understand the system that the Patriots have. 0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:01.800 You know, Dallas has a great offensive line individually, a 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:05.200 great offensive line. New England always had a really good 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:08.040 offensive line, but nobody who stood out. I don't know 0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:10.480 how many of their lineman ever made a Pro Bowl 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:13.440 well and All Pro because you can make the All 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:15.640 Pro just because guys don't want to play in the game. 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:19.239 But how many times the Patriots had a first team 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:24.239 All Pro offensive lineman and probably pretty rare. But last night, 0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:28.080 Steelers look good. Giants did not the Titans, you know 0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:32.880 those that's Titan football, not pretty. You don't like your 0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:36.200 kicker to miss four kicks and then connect with the 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:39.320 game winner, Stephen Guskowski. But if you're Denver and you're 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:42.880 trying to develop something there, you got Drew Locke, you 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:46.000 got Jerry Judy, you got some running backs. You don't 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:48.600 have Von Miller, but you got to win that game. 0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:51.320 And they had every opportunity to win that game. Some 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:56.119 questionable clock management there. But you know that's the reaction 0:02:56.240 --> 0:03:00.400 overreaction to last night. And now that the week games 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:01.919 are in the books, you're going to hear a lot 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:06.120 about the quarterbacks. Lamar Jackson, Russell Wilson, Kyler, Murray, Aaron 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:10.240 Rodgers strong statement games in Week one, and it's just 0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:13.400 assumed that the best quarterback is going to be the MVP. 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.480 But in addition to a big offensive plays, we also 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:20.560 saw some really strong defensive plays. Alden Smith has been 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:23.440 out of football almost five years. He was awesome for Dallas. 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:27.760 Shack Barrett stepped up t J Watt of the Steelers. 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:33.240 Aaron Donald was unbelievable, unblockable. Jamal Adams by the way, 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:37.560 Jamal Adams all just wind him up and he's gonna 0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:39.960 talk get him out of New York. Now, he says 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:42.920 he never played on a team with a good quarterback 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:46.560 or a good head coach. Now he might be right, 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:49.760 but I'm curious what he's going to say about Seattle 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:52.240 when he leaves there in three years. Is he playing 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:54.960 for a good head coach and a good quarterback, because 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:58.400 I'd say, yes, you are. But Jamal Adams, who was 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:01.520 great in that game against Atlanta. He was hitting everybody. 0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:03.840 He was hitting his own teammates. He just wanted to 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:07.080 pop people. But we have not had a defensive player 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:11.600 win MVP since nineteen eighty six when Lawrence Taylor did it. 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:14.520 I don't know if there's going to be a defensive 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:16.600 player who's ever going to get to the level of 0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:19.400 Lawrence Taylor and change the game. You know, I guess 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:21.000 if somebody was going to do it, it it would have 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:25.719 been Aaron Donald or JJ Watt. But and since you 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:28.520 give out defensive player of the Year. I you know, 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:31.000 it feels like you're not going to put them in 0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:33.279 for Offensive Player of the Year, and it feels like 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:36.479 the MVP is really the offensive MVP, and then you 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:39.120 give out the defensive MVP. Yeah, McLevin, I don't like 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:41.760 that there's also an Offensive Player of the Year. That's 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:43.880 so dumb because that's just a way to spread the vote. 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:46.840 Yes it is. I don't know actually if they still 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:49.360 have that. But the Offensive Player of the Year, like, 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:52.720 I don't know who it was last year. I think 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:56.440 they do. Lamar Jackson also the offensive player there, well, 0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:59.120 I don't know. Could it have been Patrick Mahomes. I Like, 0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:04.040 I don't know. I think Russell Wilson was second MVP. Yes, boy, 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:09.200 Michael Thomas the receiver Offensive Player of the Year. Okay, okay, 0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:14.440 I'm fine with that. He put up record setting numbers. Yes, mcvin. 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:16.600 By the way he did, you see he got his 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:20.599 ankles stepped on like that. Without him, that offense is 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:27.599 not is good. I was kind of like I was 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:30.640 always secretly he's just a system guy falling. Can you 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:32.720 check that just to see if mclovin was correct. The 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:35.839 Saints without Michael Thomas, that offense is not that good. 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:37.840 I think everyone's gonna agree with that. Okay, Well I 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:40.279 always thought, like, you take Michael Thomas out there, they'll 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:43.000 find a Marcus Colston. You just said that's a stupid comment. 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:45.880 Trust me, By the way, they will figure it out. 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:48.440 They're the Saints. They syste them up big time. They 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:51.960 will find someone to step in there and dominate. I 0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:55.279 mean that's a fact. So their system, they have somebody 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:59.160 who's gonna step in and get one hundred and fifty catches. No, 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:02.960 but they'll they'll find a way. They always have some 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:05.800 weird guy who comes out of nowhere. It's oh, Emmanuel Sanders. 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:08.680 He looked amazing out of nowhere. For them, it's amazing, 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:12.440 like a Marcus Colston. Yeah, they always have a Colston. 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:14.800 I mean, yeah, Michael Thomas is better than all those guys, 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:18.000 but not that much. Yeah, seed right, it's like that 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:22.520 their offense isn't completely dependent on that one player, Michael Thomas. 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:26.960 Except Sunday it probably was. That's what I date it. Yeah, 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:30.120 I would think it would be Alvin Kamara. You know, 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:35.640 he's pretty good. Yeah, he's really good. Taysom Hill No, no, no, 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:38.320 But I like how Tampa Bay was trumpeting the fact 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:41.400 that they shut down Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara, and 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:45.560 then Twitter said, uh, he scored a couple of touchdowns 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:49.120 on you wait, way to shut him down? Yeah, Seed, 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:51.560 there are a few times last weekend there just this 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:53.640 past weekend watching the Saint said, I was just like, wow, 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:58.600 look at Drew Brees run. Oh no, that's not him. Yes, 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:01.240 if you know, I ask you this yet, right too? 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:03.839 Any thoughts of a Mulligan in the NFC with the 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:06.440 way the Saints look good, It doesn't. That's not the 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:08.960 way it works. I made my pick. I stay with 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:13.720 my pick Seahawks defense. Oh wow, No, it's early. Maybe 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:16.680 we should start doing instead of overreaction Monday, it's Mulligan Monday. 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:23.080 Then you want to change alliteration. Yeah, Mulligan Monday. I 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:27.320 like how the sky is falling in Tampa and Dallas 0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:32.840 no place else in the NFL because shows want to 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:35.320 talk about Tom Brady and shows want to talk about 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:41.559 Dallas Cowboys. It's trepidation Tuesday out the cash. Yeah, sky 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:44.680 is falling, question mark in Tampa. I'll tell you what 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:47.600 if the Browns lose to the Bengals. Baker Mayfield Sky 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:51.000 who question Mark evaporating right before? It is a very eyes. 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:53.840 So the Rams lose on the road and Tampa loses 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:59.200 in New Orleans. Sky is falling, question Mark all questioning 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:03.000 the play calling by Mike McCarthy. Dak Prescott once again 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:07.680 not a second half quarterback Tom Brady perhaps over the hill, 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:11.600 question Mark asked mc Yeah, the Niners blew a game, 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:15.560 it gets a card. Nobody's talking about no, because you 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:18.560 don't get clicks. Well, we're waiting for throw up Thursday. Oh, 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:20.920 the start breaking that Downay, he's gonna throw up on 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:26.880 their shoes. Nobody cares about the forty nine ers nationally, 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:31.960 Like if you look at the topics and it'll be 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:36.440 the Browns because of Odell Beckham and Baker Mayfield. Brady 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:39.760 with the Buccaneers. Rogers in Green Bay always gets a 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:43.959 clicker too, the Steelers do because of their fan base, 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:46.960 and then obviously with Dallas. But some of these other 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:51.559 teams performances, it'll be like, yeah, okay, nothing to see here. 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:53.960 Yeah mccle Yeah. I feel like the Titans could go 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:56.760 twelve and four and no one will care during the 0:08:56.800 --> 0:09:01.719 regular season and even last night. I mean that that 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:05.040 was tough to get through that game. And look, I'm 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:09.960 hungry for football. I was full, Like I just said, like, 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:12.200 I'm not in it for the long haul. Here. It 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:14.360 was tough to watch. I know. I hear from the 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:16.720 Titan fans every time I say it. Look, you guys 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:20.400 were wonderful during the playoffs, but you're a boring football team. 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:25.480 You are. It's it's but Mike Vrabel probably loves it 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:30.680 this way. It's just not exciting football. Yeah, what about 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:33.720 the Patriots? Where did they fall? They were a boring 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:36.720 regular season team for a while with Brady there. They're 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:40.120 exciting to have Cam there, absolutely, but the actual game 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:42.520 couldn't have been more boring. They just ran at every player. 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:45.480 You know, but you're seeing Cam douce things that Cam 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:47.719 did before, and you know you were hoping that you 0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:49.600 got a chance to see that again. I mean, this 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:52.760 guy's going to end up with probably eighty rushing touchdowns 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:57.640 when it's all said and done, all right, I mean, 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:01.760 depending on how long he's able to way, plus when 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:04.560 he gets down around inside the five, and if there's 0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:06.840 a chance that he could be pitching it to somebody 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:10.160 else that ain't happening. Cam knows. I'm putting up some 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:14.360 numbers here because I'm auditioning for either New England to 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:17.280 sign me long term or somebody else to sign me 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:20.600 long term. Yeampolling Week one, Cam Newton out rushed sixteen 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:24.559 starting NFL running backs half the league Week one, rushing 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:28.440 Alvin Kamara twelve yards, se Quon Barkley six yards. But 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:32.320 these running backs got paid, they got their contract extensions, 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:35.480 he asked mclub. Watching the Patriots offense, it was clear 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:37.240 to everyone on TV to Cam Newton, who was going 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:39.079 to run all those places that Dolphins looked like, oh 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:40.719 my gosh, wait, what's this guy doing? It felt like 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:43.400 they were watching last year's page. They had seven offensive 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:46.320 linemen on one play and then I think they had 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:51.120 a tight end like it couldn't have said run any louder. 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:54.360 Cam could have gone to the line and go I'm running, 0:10:55.480 --> 0:11:00.760 and Miami couldn't have been surprised. But I don't think sustainable. 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:02.960 But it is fun to watch. I mean, New England 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:06.199 is only fun because of Cam Newton. Other than that, 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:09.760 nobody's nobody's tuning in to see Hoodie. And you know, 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:13.000 Stefan Gilmore is a nice player, but you know you're 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:15.440 not tuning in to watch a defensive back. Yeah, but 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:17.480 in the Saints game they put in, they bring in 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:19.839 Taysom Hill and he runs for like twelve yards on 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:21.679 his first carry. There's no one around him. Hey, when 0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:23.680 Taysom comes in, there's a pretty good chance it's a 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:27.719 designed run or he's gonna throw it though. Right, Yeah, 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:30.560 I asked who's I'm like Cam and Taysomer are the 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:33.079 same player, except Cam can throw the ball. They really 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:35.640 like they look very simil I know they don't look similar, 0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:40.200 but gigantic guys running at you that bigger than the linebacker. Yeah, 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:42.679 I still don't believe that he is the air apparent 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:46.280 the Drew brees by Way Patriots at Seattle Sunday night. 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:51.960 That's awesome. That's an awesome matchup because I just want 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:54.760 to see what the game plan is for Cam against 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:59.120 that Seattle defense and Jamal Adams role, because he'll probably 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:03.440 be shadowing Am Newton and that will be really entertaining 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:07.480 to watch. Plus, Russell Wilson played a perfect game against Atlanta. 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:10.600 You had a couple of performances. Kyler Murray was great, 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:13.760 rushing for almost one hundred yards. You know you had 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:16.880 Lamar Jackson looked good. I know that. We go, oh, 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:18.880 it looks like he's a better passer this year than 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:21.959 he was last year. Let's hold off on that just 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:24.880 a little bit. There. You know, he's playing the Browns 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:29.480 and the Browns look disinterested, which is kind of amazing 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:32.520 that you have a new head coach and you have this. Hey, 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:35.360 we got embarrassed last year. Let's go out there. Let's 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:41.240 make a statement here. And they did. It's oh, that's 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:43.400 their statement. And now you have the Bengals playing the 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:49.960 Browns on Thursday night, and there's part of me rooting 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:53.120 for the Browns to lose, just to see what happens 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:56.120 with this story and if Joe Burrow would win the 0:12:56.160 --> 0:13:03.719 game beating Cleveland. National TV. Good storylines there. What is 0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:07.439 the best game coming up this weekend though? Mclovin, Well, 0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:11.640 let's start with that. Patriots. That's good. That's good on 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:14.960 Sunday night. Bengals Browns is entertaining just because you know 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:17.880 the storyline's attached to it. Okay, you got Giants at 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:22.560 bars is that that's not good? Rams at Eagles, Falcons, 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:28.480 Cowboys that's in Dallas. Well, it'll be interesting because every 0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:30.679 talk show host will make it interesting on Monday. No 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:33.360 matter what happens, either the Cowboys are back, they figured 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:36.920 it out, or you know, Mike McCarthy was the wrong choice. 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:40.320 Can't blame this on Jason Garrett. Why are you paying 0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:45.480 Dak Prescott that kind of money? Yeah? Play Ravens, Texans solid, 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:50.720 that's good. Texans could go into Chiefs Chargers at the Chargers. 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:54.640 What like it matters? I think I may watch this game. 0:13:54.760 --> 0:14:01.720 Washington football team at the Cardinals shocking. I'm going watch it. Yeah, 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:04.920 I love that. The defensive line of the Redskins whatever 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:09.679 you call. Yeah, they're the Washington football team. Point any 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:12.079 other games on there? Does he get Saints Raiders is 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:14.520 Monday Night? I like that? That's really good? Is that? 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:18.200 Is that in uh Las Vegas? Oh? I like that 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:20.480 a lot? But is it the same with no fans 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:24.960 in the new stadium? Does that? No, it's not the same, 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:27.240 but it's still I get the Saints out of the 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:32.440 Superdome and they're beatable. Plus, I want to see, you 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:35.240 know what what we have with Josh Jacobs if it 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:39.040 is he going to be one of those put himself 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:41.080 in that category with you know, some of the elite 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:43.920 running backs. His advanced stats were like he is the 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:45.560 number one running back in the end of like they 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:48.240 were going nuts on his break. Someone compared to Walter Payton. 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:50.640 Did you guys see yea, it just it was one game. 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:53.680 Had a great year last year, I know, But it's 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:59.240 just one game and they're playing against Carolina, So let 0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:01.160 me let me see what happens when they play against 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:03.480 a team like the Saints and see how they use him. 0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:08.920 But what was the biggest overreaction out of all the games? 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:15.360 Biggest overreaction Tom Brady, right, and then Dallas and then 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:19.240 maybe Aaron Rodgers. Feels like it might have been in 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:21.760 that order. But I don't think people walked away worried 0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:24.720 about the Cowboys because I thought the Rams look really good. 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:28.960 Did you see a lot of panic in Dallas? Just 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:32.800 their fans because they've been through this for so many years, 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:35.480 like a decade where they blamed it on Jason. If 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:38.480 Jason Garrett made that call that Mike McCarthy did when 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:41.360 they went for it, they would have been crushing him. 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:45.920 And plus you know that it was not past interference. 0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:50.560 In my opinion, what happens defensive backs will actually grab 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:53.480 one of your arms and then hold it pin it down. 0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:56.920 And this happens a lot. You know, it's a it's 0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:59.440 a technique that they have and you try to do 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:02.040 it and then you're going for with one arm trying 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:04.800 to catch a pass. I just thought it was hand 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:07.840 to hand combat between those two Gallop and Ramsey, and 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:10.040 I just wouldn't have called it. And it wasn't one 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:12.280 of those because I had somebody call me out yesterday 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:15.120 and say, yeah, well, if that's in the first quarter, 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:18.680 I go, no, it's not when it was called. It 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:21.640 shouldn't have been called. If it's in the first quarter, 0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:23.920 you don't call it. If it's in the fourth quarter, 0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:25.960 I wouldn't call it. But I didn't go, boy, in 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:28.160 the last two minutes, you can't call that. I didn't 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:32.120 say that yesterday. I just said it was to me 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:34.800 back and forth between both of those unfort You know, 0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:37.480 Gallup didn't have to push off or extend his arm 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:40.720 to make that catch. But when you look at it, 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:44.240 I understand where you can go. He used you extend 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:49.680 your arm. Jalen Ramsey was a part the blame too, 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:52.880 culprit as well. Yeah, mclv. Well they're stressing OPI. Yeah, 0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:57.400 they got Ingram last night, I got AJ Green. I 0:16:57.440 --> 0:16:59.160 hate when they do this where they pick a rule 0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:01.120 like remember last year, tried to ruin the season with 0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:03.360 holding the first few weeks. Then Tom Brady tweeted at 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:05.359 half and they all went away, Yeah, somebody's got a 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:08.320 Brady's got a tweet. Hey, stop with the offensive pass 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:11.040 interference here, because he did that with holding last year 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:13.520 and then all of a sudden, the referees weren't calling holding. Yes. 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:15.639 He It seems like though for the first week that 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:18.159 the referees let them play, you know, like yeah, I 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:20.439 don't know have any like official stats, but just the 0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:23.840 overall vibe was that, you know, the penalties were down, 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:26.840 but they didn't let him play with offensive pass interference 0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:29.800 because that would have been letting them play. That was 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:33.359 a big moment. You know that you're calling offensive. Aj 0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:36.680 Green pushed off absolutely, you know, throw the flag there 0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:40.280 that one that was not offensive pass interference. Well take 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:42.320 a break. Steve Levy was on the call last night 0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:46.080 the Broncos and the Titans. By the way, Heat Celtics 0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:51.800 Game one tonight, Nuggets Clippers gained seven boy to fallout 0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:55.320 on this if the Clippers don't reach the Western Conference Finals. 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:57.960 They blew up another three games to one lead. And 0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:01.760 here's the suggestion to somebody with the guard the joker. 0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:05.160 I think he's pretty good. This just in I think 0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:08.320 he's pretty good. It's almost like they feel like, hey, 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:10.959 you know, we're going to play in the Western Conference 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:13.840 Finals against the Lakers, like it's a foregone conclusion. It's 0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:17.480 like you get the easy pass at Disney World. We're 0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:19.680 not waiting in line to get to the Western Conference Finals. 0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:21.760 We got the easy pass. And they're like, no, no, 0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:25.960 you don't. That might have expired. And then we'll talk 0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:29.199 to Ron Rivera, who is battling cancer while being the 0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:32.200 head coach of the Washington Football Club. Take a break. 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:35.080 It's twenty after the hour. This is the Dan Patrick Show. 0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:37.560 Thanks for listening to The Dan Patrick Show podcast.

We have 0:18:57.000 --> 0:19:01.000 Ron Rivera, Washington head coach and it's coming up next hour. 0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:04.320 He along with team doctors and the head athletic trainer, 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:07.920 agreed that he would get an IV after the first 0:19:07.960 --> 0:19:12.160 half to combat ongoing effects of his battle with sell cancer. 0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:15.800 So he was hooked up to the IV and all 0:19:15.840 --> 0:19:18.280 of a suddenly he hears somebody yelling at the team 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:22.840 and it's Dwayne Haskins, who was firing him up at 0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:26.040 halftime there. So we'll talk to coach about that whole 0:19:26.080 --> 0:19:30.080 process here. Tough enough to coach now, he's battling cancer 0:19:30.240 --> 0:19:34.639 while he's doing him. Steve leeby mister Monday Night. He 0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:37.439 had the call last night in Denver with the Broncos 0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:40.080 and the Titans. Made his debut as the main play 0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:43.880 by play voice with Brian Greasy and Lewis Riddick. He'll 0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:45.879 be on the call for Drew Brees and the Saints 0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:49.080 at the Las Vegas Raiders next Monday Night. So how 0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:51.520 did it feel, Leaves? That was a classic game. Dan, 0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:54.000 They're gonna be replaying that game for years to come. 0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:58.879 That seven seven Wildfire was Yeah, that was something that 0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:01.479 it was fun. It it's fun in the booths. We 0:20:01.520 --> 0:20:03.639 had a good time. I think I think It was 0:20:03.680 --> 0:20:06.320 a good jumping off point for us. You know, we'll 0:20:06.320 --> 0:20:08.880 be much better next week and hope to be much 0:20:08.880 --> 0:20:11.560 better every every single week. But it felt great to 0:20:11.560 --> 0:20:13.400 finally get it going. You know, there's been so much 0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:16.320 talk about you know, the Monday the football booths, really 0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:18.960 and it was just good to calls some football. Did 0:20:19.000 --> 0:20:22.760 you read Twitter at all? I have not, you know, 0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:25.479 I can't get through text messages. So I'll tell you 0:20:25.480 --> 0:20:28.680 what it does. It does make you feel about pretty 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:30.639 good about yourself, Dan. It makes you feel like, you know, 0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:33.120 you know, maybe I'm a decent human being. I can't 0:20:33.119 --> 0:20:36.119 tell you how many people and yourself included, I've reached 0:20:36.160 --> 0:20:39.000 out with, you know, with kind tweets, kind texts throughout 0:20:39.040 --> 0:20:42.639 the some tweets, but mostly texts throughout the process, you know, 0:20:42.720 --> 0:20:44.920 leading up to getting the gig and then uh, you know, 0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:46.840 wish you good luck and relax and have a good 0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:49.120 time and all those kind of important reminders. But it's 0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:51.320 really been great for my friends and my family and 0:20:51.600 --> 0:20:54.280 it's really appreciate it. But has it set in? I mean, 0:20:54.320 --> 0:20:58.399 you're calling Monday night football, so that's a great question. 0:20:58.400 --> 0:21:01.520 So not really like you know, last night I did 0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:04.000 last night. What I did one year ago. We had 0:21:04.040 --> 0:21:07.600 that same back end of the doubleheader, the opening that weekend. 0:21:07.600 --> 0:21:10.680 It was the Broncos again, so not really you know, 0:21:10.720 --> 0:21:13.640 there wasn't a massive pregame show and the massive hype, 0:21:13.680 --> 0:21:15.280 and we knew we were on late so we'd lose 0:21:15.359 --> 0:21:18.720 some part of the country and like that. So I 0:21:18.760 --> 0:21:22.720 think it really kicks in this coming Monday night. We'll 0:21:22.720 --> 0:21:25.520 have the stage to ourselves and we'll be on at 0:21:25.520 --> 0:21:28.280 the normal time. We'll get the full free game. It's 0:21:28.280 --> 0:21:32.159 also a fifty the actual fiftieth anniversary of the first 0:21:32.200 --> 0:21:34.840 ever Monday night football game. And then I think, you know, listen, 0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:37.320 quite frankly, we want to ramp up here, Dan, we 0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:39.959 want to be at our best for Week three. We 0:21:40.040 --> 0:21:42.400 know we'll have a few eyeballs on that one, and 0:21:42.480 --> 0:21:45.000 I think you know honestly that that's probably the best 0:21:45.040 --> 0:21:47.760 regular season game on the schedule. It certainly on paper. 0:21:48.080 --> 0:21:50.119 You know, things can change throughout the season. Before the 0:21:50.119 --> 0:21:53.200 season starts, if you can only watch one NFL game, 0:21:53.400 --> 0:21:55.520 I'm guessing a lot of people with pick Kansas City 0:21:56.000 --> 0:21:58.000 at Baltimore, and then we're fortunate to have that on 0:21:58.040 --> 0:22:03.560 the schedule. How nervous, were you Yeah, again, not really, um, 0:22:03.600 --> 0:22:06.000
