Speaker 1: You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: If you're not chiefed out, you will be in two weeks.
Speaker 2: Welcome to the program. It's a Monday Best and Worst
Speaker 2: of the weekend. What you saw that you liked you
Speaker 2: didn't like, you can dial us up. Operator Tyler sitting
Speaker 2: by you take your phone calls. Staut of the Day
Speaker 2: brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards
Speaker 2: of the Dan Patrick Show. Good morning. If you're watching
Speaker 2: on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app. And if
Speaker 2: you're watching on Peacock, you'll see that is not Seatan
Speaker 2: in the back row with Fritzy. That's Dylan, the graphics guy,
Speaker 2: also part of the Gambling podcast, and he's sitting in
Speaker 2: where Seaton normally is because Seaton's on the road with
Speaker 2: the French Kid in the Maco van heading down to
Speaker 2: New Orleans. And you'll be able to go to Danpatrick
Speaker 2: dot com to follow along with their journey. It's almost
Speaker 2: like you're waiting for your Uber driver with Seatan and
Speaker 2: the French Kid and they'll be driving to New Orleans.
Speaker 2: They're supposed to be there by Friday. Dylan's responsibilities and
Speaker 2: this is this is all we're supposed to do, and
Speaker 2: that's the poll question today. We're going to ease into this.
Speaker 2: We're going to see if you're ready for your your
Speaker 2: close up. It's the big first step. Yes it is. Okay.
Speaker 2: So pole question from the first hour was more off season.
Speaker 3: Pain, Bill's Lions or other? Okay, and currently the Bills
Speaker 3: are actually cleaning up fifty seven percent of the vote there.
Speaker 2: All right, that's probably recentcy bias, but I get it.
Speaker 2: I don't think there's a wrong answer in that. Now,
Speaker 2: what's poll question for hour two?
Speaker 4: Hour two?
Speaker 3: We are going to do? This is actually one that
Speaker 3: I thought of.
Speaker 5: Then, Oh that's okay, yeah, yeah, all right.
Speaker 2: What were you rooting for?
Speaker 3: More Bill's Mafia to make it to the super Bowl
Speaker 3: or Dan Snyder to have to watch.
Speaker 2: The Commanders make it to the Super Bowl? Bill's Mafia
Speaker 2: in New Orleans. Absolutely, it's going to be a bummer.
Speaker 3: They won't be down there.
Speaker 2: Yes, I don't care about Dan Snyder. I'm I'm glad
Speaker 2: that he's twisted up and tormented somewhere on his two
Speaker 2: hundred million dollar yacht. I mean, would I enjoy it
Speaker 2: only if I got to see him in pain? If
Speaker 2: you had Dan Cam and he's there on his yacht
Speaker 2: and he's watching throwing the remote at the TV, that'd
Speaker 2: be good. But an ESPN dot com, I think Don
Speaker 2: Van Nada had a really really deep dive on the
Speaker 2: former Washington owner and how miserable he is. Oh, boo hoo,
Speaker 2: so miserable. I'm lying here my six hundred million billion
Speaker 2: dollar yacht bed that I have here, it's stuffed with billions.
Speaker 2: Boo hoo. We'll do fill in the blank here coming up.
Speaker 2: Lewis Riddick from the Mothership will stop by as well.
Speaker 2: The early betting line with DraftKings Chiefs favored by one
Speaker 2: and a half over under is forty nine and a half,
Speaker 2: and the odds to win the Super Bowl MVP it's
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes followed by Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts. We
Speaker 2: talked to Booger McFarlane on Friday and I said, what's
Speaker 2: the key, Buffalo, what's their key? What's the commander's key?
Speaker 2: And the one thing that I, you know, I kept
Speaker 2: thinking back, is yeah, your job is to stop Saquon Barkley.
Speaker 2: And they did a pretty good job. But it's almost like, hey,
Speaker 2: we got that guy out four times, but the fifth
Speaker 2: time he hit a grand slam. So he's won for five,
Speaker 2: but he had a grand slam. That's kind of what
Speaker 2: Saquon Barkley has done. He'll go one for five, but
Speaker 2: that one is sixty and those I mean, you just
Speaker 2: start the game and there he goes. But I mean
Speaker 2: he didn't have an incredible amount of yards, but he
Speaker 2: did score touchdowns. Jalen Hurts really was That's as good
Speaker 2: a game as he's had, probably since the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: And then you get that defense is really I mean,
Speaker 2: it's just a That's why I said probably since week
Speaker 2: they're the best team in football because of the offensive
Speaker 2: and defensive line. It's you know, a far as trying
Speaker 2: to beat Kansas City. Having the opportunity with the ball
Speaker 2: in your hands three and a half minutes to go,
Speaker 2: you're down three with three timeouts. That's what you want.
Speaker 2: I got Josh Allen. If you said, hey, this is
Speaker 2: what is going to come down to, I'm going to
Speaker 2: say Buffalo's going to win. Keep him off the field,
Speaker 2: go down there, score a touchdown, you go to the
Speaker 2: super Bowl. That's what you want as an MVP. You
Speaker 2: want that that opportunity. I want the ball in my hands.
Speaker 2: Well we know how that worked out. Mahomes once again
Speaker 2: proved that he is the ultimate eracer when you think
Speaker 2: of that guy's got the ball in his hands, game
Speaker 2: on the line, Tom Brady, Joe Montana, John Elway. You know,
Speaker 2: there's a few of those players on a short list there.
Speaker 2: But he has twelve postseason games and he's had twelve
Speaker 2: career postseason trailing by one possession. In those twelve career
Speaker 2: postseason drives trailing by one possession, he has engineered six
Speaker 2: go ahead touchdowns, five game tying field goals, and just
Speaker 2: one punt. So it's not just clutch that's historic and
Speaker 2: the ability to rise above the chaos do the right
Speaker 2: thing at the right time. He doesn't get the style
Speaker 2: points that he once did, but he's not trying. That's
Speaker 2: not important. He truly understands if we win, then he wins,
Speaker 2: and he is trying to get into Michael Jordan category
Speaker 2: of three peating. I'm sure Tom Brady's in the back
Speaker 2: of his mind of I can get there, but to
Speaker 2: go three peat now, all of a sudden, that's just different.
Speaker 2: It's rarefied air. I mean, this is once you want
Speaker 2: that opportunity to do something nobody else has done, and
Speaker 2: getting that opportunity in the Super Bowl. It's not about hey,
Speaker 2: did you see how many touchdown passes or what I mean?
Speaker 2: He was more dangerous as a runner yesterday, again picking
Speaker 2: the right place at the right time and doing the
Speaker 2: right thing and not trying to do more. Josh Allen
Speaker 2: tried to do more yesterday, and during the regular season
Speaker 2: he didn't. It was if we win, then I win.
Speaker 2: And James Cook I thought they were going to ride
Speaker 2: him and that was going to be the difference. But
Speaker 2: I go back to what I saw with Derek Henring.
Speaker 2: You know, you used him in the third quarter, you
Speaker 2: went all the way down for a touchdown, and then
Speaker 2: didn't use him after that. James Cook had what thirteen carries?
Speaker 2: I need the ball. I just wanted. I wanted him
Speaker 2: to shoulder a little more of the responsibility. Now, maybe
Speaker 2: he was banged up, but he averaged six yards per
Speaker 2: care so that was a little bit surprising. All right,
Speaker 2: there's a piece of sound I want. Here is the
Speaker 2: fourth down, fourth quarter call as the Chiefs stop the
Speaker 2: Bills quorbit motion.
Speaker 4: Now peels back to the left.
Speaker 2: He's for chasing Tosh Tallen.
Speaker 6: He throws it up for grabs and the passes in
Speaker 6: cop played in com play off the arm of the
Speaker 6: would be receiver Dalton Kinkaid. Jarn Sau City has the
Speaker 6: second fourth down stop in this half.
Speaker 2: That was the ninety six point five The fan the
Speaker 2: Chiefs Radio Network Patrick Mahomes after the game talked about
Speaker 2: all of his postseason victories.
Speaker 7: Patrick's seventeen postseason win now second olds back.
Speaker 4: I didn't know history.
Speaker 2: Just how does that feel at the story?
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's I mean, it's obviously really cool. That's your
Speaker 8: goal is to win in the postseason, not him blessed
Speaker 8: being a lot of great football teams with a lot
Speaker 8: of great coaches. Is in a great organization, and I
Speaker 8: just try to maximize every moment because you never know
Speaker 8: what's gonna be your last one. I know I'm a
Speaker 8: long way from Tom, so I'll trying to do whatever
Speaker 8: I can to get close.
Speaker 2: To that you could have had this last year or
Speaker 2: the year before. Where he's asked this question, it's just
Speaker 2: it's on repeat and he'll probably be saying the same
Speaker 2: thing next year. Seaton's back on the road with Mako
Speaker 2: go to Danpatrick dot com follow the road trip to
Speaker 2: New Orleans. Most cars on the road could use a
Speaker 2: little TLC. At Maco. They bring your car back to
Speaker 2: life with affordable paint chomps like collision repairs. Get a
Speaker 2: free estimate today. Uh oh better get Maco. Did a
Speaker 2: great job with the van. Looks beautiful and seating. And
Speaker 2: the French kid are on the road all right. Eight
Speaker 2: seven to seven three DP show a couple of phone calls.

Speaker 2: bring you as well. Hi Gus, welcome back.
Speaker 9: Good morning, mister Patrick. Hope and the boys had a
Speaker 9: great weekend. Hey, let me tell you if Dylan's outfit
Speaker 9: is any indicative how the week's going to go. We

Speaker 9: tell you a beautiful o't thing he's got going on.
Speaker 9: Lulo's pan anyway, little many of many best of the
Speaker 9: week and the Washington Commanders. Hey you know somewhere James
Speaker 9: in Virginia. I hope you're smiling, brother. That was an
Speaker 9: incredible year. How many times do we go from number
Speaker 9: two overall draft pick I don't know, Heisman bus maybe
Speaker 9: to one win shot of the super Bowl. You know,
Speaker 9: I hate saying, you know it's a moral victory or whatever,
Speaker 9: but the whole season played with house money and they
Speaker 9: almost hate it. Awesome, great to see. Best of the weekend.
Speaker 9: I got to give it up to say Kwon Barkley.
Speaker 9: You know, another one where it's like, did anybody see
Speaker 9: this coming? You know, maybe you know the Philly Faithful
Speaker 9: thought coming, but nobody else. Did you know he leaves
Speaker 9: New York? You know, was it a bus or whatever
Speaker 9: to him to now be playing for the Super Bowl
Speaker 9: on his birthday of all days. I mean, you can't
Speaker 9: script it better than that. And you know what, no
Speaker 9: worse to the weekend. I said it worse to Tyler.
Speaker 9: But you know what, we had rain out here this weekend.
Speaker 9: Everybody was in the streets of LA like Tim Robbins
Speaker 9: at the end, Shaw take redemption. It was beautiful this
Speaker 9: weekend to get some rain out here. Loved it. You
Speaker 9: boys have a great week.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just worry about the mud slides, but yeah,
Speaker 2: glad they got some rain in Los Angeles. Zach and Knoxville.
Speaker 2: Hey Zach, what's on your mind?
Speaker 10: Hey DP, thanks for taking my call. Just the best
Speaker 10: and worst of the weekend. As guys said, it was
Speaker 10: the weekend of moral victories.
Speaker 4: For me.
Speaker 10: My Huskies lost to the Xavier fighting Chili Spaghettis, but
Speaker 10: Aiden Mahaney with fourteen and three and three off the
Speaker 10: bench is going to be my best of the weekend.
Speaker 10: And my worst of the weekend is Marshawn Lattimore and
Speaker 10: how much effort he put in after the whistle. If
Speaker 10: he would just put in a little more effort during
Speaker 10: the play, he might have been able to stop A. J.
Speaker 10: Brown a couple of times.
Speaker 2: Fighting is silly in football. He got helmets on. It's
Speaker 2: just silly. You see that? And you know, guys get
Speaker 2: caught up in oh would you say? And then you
Speaker 2: know Travis Kelcey talks some trash and like, I get
Speaker 2: the trash talking, I don't get the physical altercation or
Speaker 2: the potential for that. Jeff in La, Hi, Jeff, what's
Speaker 2: on your mind?
Speaker 9: Hey?
Speaker 7: Morning? That first time on Time five seven, one sixty.

Speaker 11: night you sleep in the hospital after you and your
Speaker 11: wife have a child.
Speaker 2: The man, the gentleman.
Speaker 11: Now, I'm not complaining because my wife did ninety nine
Speaker 11: percent of the work. They put you in that folding
Speaker 11: chair with the wooden arms that was built in nineteen
Speaker 11: seventy two. It's the least comfortable night of your entire
Speaker 11: life physically, if you can bring a couple of pillows
Speaker 11: or maybe a temp you know, like some type of
Speaker 11: you know, pad or something like that.
Speaker 2: I don't know if this is a good take by you.
Speaker 11: Oh it is well, I believe me. That's the only downside. Yeah,
Speaker 11: it's not a physically.
Speaker 2: I don't think this go over well with the women, lad, Yeah,
Speaker 2: not at all. I love someone has to speak up
Speaker 2: for I think we do this privately. I don't know
Speaker 2: if you're gonna someone had It had to be said.
Speaker 2: It had to be said, yes, Todd.
Speaker 12: And then you're in a situation where it could be
Speaker 12: too late for the epidural. That was one of the
Speaker 12: situations we were in. You have a certain window.
Speaker 2: Wait, you were getting an epidural. I should have.
Speaker 12: Gotten one because I don't handle those situations very well.
Speaker 12: But once you get past a certain window, you gotta
Speaker 12: do it natural. No matter how much pain you're in.
Speaker 12: They can't give it to you because it's dangerous.
Speaker 2: Yeah I had one of those two.
Speaker 4: Yeah.

Speaker 2: will give you our best and worst of the weekend.
Speaker 2: Lewis Riddick and the Mothership, the ESPN, NFL College Football analyst,
Speaker 2: former NFL safety. I got an idea for the NFC
Speaker 2: AFC Title Game. Now this is strictly for your football
Speaker 2: audience that every other year you'll have NFC Title Game Sunday,
Speaker 2: AFC Title Game Saturday the following year. Then you change
Speaker 2: it up AFC Sunday NFC because this is about us.
Speaker 2: I don't know about you on your Saturday, Lewis, but
Speaker 2: I had nothing going on and I was joning for something.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Man, it's a lot to consume one day. It'd
Speaker 4: be nice. It would be nice to kind of break
Speaker 4: it up a little bit and kind of have to
Speaker 4: be standalone. I'm sure the look I mean, the NFL
Speaker 4: is always interested in driving network viewership right, trying to
Speaker 4: get the numbers as big as possible. I don't know
Speaker 4: if the numbers have come out for the Kansas City
Speaker 4: Chiefs game, but I had heard that they were gonna
Speaker 4: be like monstrous, and with the way that game went
Speaker 4: down with the wire, there's no question that it probably was.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I'd be okay with that, Dan, I'd be
Speaker 4: okay with that stretch it out as long as possible.
Speaker 4: I'm already sick about the fact that the season's almost over.
Speaker 4: I know, well, you know, I'm just going, what are
Speaker 4: we gonna do? We do that?
Speaker 11: I know.
Speaker 2: You'd probably be okay with having the ball down three
Speaker 2: three and a half minutes to go, three timeouts, And
Speaker 2: if you're a Buffalo bill fan with Josh Allen, right,
Speaker 2: that's not asking much of an MVP candidate. So what
Speaker 2: where did they go wrong?
Speaker 4: Oh? Well, I'll tell you what if I'm the Dalton
Speaker 4: Kinkaid makes that catch, you know, the catch at the
Speaker 4: end of the game where Josh makes it, absolutely fantastic play.
Speaker 4: As far as the blitz that the Spags broke brings
Speaker 4: from the Boundary with Trent McDuffie and Josh sees it
Speaker 4: and lost that ball up there, and Dalton's not able
Speaker 4: to bring that ball in. You know, we could be
Speaker 4: having a totally different conversation here today. It's amazing that
Speaker 4: he was able to get that ball off. It's amazing
Speaker 4: that it was right in the hands of Kincaid. It's
Speaker 4: almost like you feel bad for Kinkaid to say, well,
Speaker 4: you feel bad for Mark Andrews a week ago, because
Speaker 4: we may be talking about a totally different conversation. Rewind
Speaker 4: it back to the beginning of the fourth quarter with
Speaker 4: the spot of the ball and the fourth down play
Speaker 4: with Josh where just from watching it on TV at first,
Speaker 4: I said them sitting there thinking, oh man, they've got it.
Speaker 4: They've got it. They're about to seize the control of
Speaker 4: this football game. They're already up won, they're unplused territory.
Speaker 4: Maybe the game's gonna change, you know, maybe that's it.
Speaker 4: Maybe they tried they they solidify the game there. But
Speaker 4: I think what it shows you is like there's a
Speaker 4: bunch of different inflection points in that football game that
Speaker 4: if you're the opposing team and you're in that Narrowhead
Speaker 4: stadium and you're going up against Patrick Mahomes, if you
Speaker 4: don't seize them, if you don't definitively seize them. Then
Speaker 4: the combination of Patrick and Andy's play calling, which was
Speaker 4: nothing short of just you know, teach tape worthy down
Speaker 4: the stretch, He's gonna They're gonna make you pay. And
Speaker 4: that's why this team is now playing for its third
Speaker 4: straight title, which is just amazing.
Speaker 2: There's a moment when I see Josh Allen on that
Speaker 2: fourth down play. Now you play defensive back, Yeah, felt
Speaker 2: like that defensive back was looking in the backfield and
Speaker 2: I thought, is he coming? Like I didn't I don't
Speaker 2: know enough about that position, but I don't know if
Speaker 2: you normally look in the backfield when you're out there
Speaker 2: kind of on an island, you know, man man and coverage.
Speaker 2: It felt like he was looking and that made me think,
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, is he coming? And you know, you
Speaker 2: got to disguise it that you're just doing everything. This
Speaker 2: is the way I always do it. And it just
Speaker 2: like it dawned on me for a second, like do
Speaker 2: you normally look at the quarterback if you're just playing
Speaker 2: man coverage?
Speaker 4: Yeah? You know what, sometimes you do. Sometimes you're trying
Speaker 4: to get you know, you're you're looking at your guy,
Speaker 4: you're taking a peek at the quarterback, you're taking a peak,
Speaker 4: you know, at the line of scrimmage. You're you're trying
Speaker 4: to get You're just kind of like taking it all in.
Speaker 4: Sometimes you want to you you kind of get you
Speaker 4: fall into like a little bit of a you know,
Speaker 4: you want to get the rhythm of the quarterback center exchange,
Speaker 4: so you know when the ball's about to be snapped.
Speaker 4: And then ultimately, yeah, your eyes go back to your
Speaker 4: coverage responsibility. And sometimes quarterbacks can you know, you're right,
Speaker 4: quarterbacks can kind of pick up on the fact that, hey,
Speaker 4: you're you're spending too much time looking at me. I
Speaker 4: think something is up here. So it's a kind of
Speaker 4: a cat and mouse game, it really is. And and look,
Speaker 4: Trent's one of the very best in the in the league.
Speaker 4: Ian McDuffie's just one of one of the very best
Speaker 4: in the league. And uh and even with all that,
Speaker 4: even with all that being said, first of all, I
Speaker 4: don't know how. I don't know how Josh saw Dalton
Speaker 4: in the first place, despite the fact I guess he's
Speaker 4: six ' five and you know, he's he's a freak
Speaker 4: of nature. Himself and he's able to off his back
Speaker 4: foot and launch that thing the.
Speaker 2: Way I think Spot I didn't know.
Speaker 4: You know what what was amazing is that the Chiefs
Speaker 4: just dropped him. They dropped Dalton in coverage. They had
Speaker 4: a total coverage bust in the back end, and they
Speaker 4: had done that a couple of different times during the game.
Speaker 4: They let I'll tak about Buffalo in many ways. As
Speaker 4: much as I love the Chiefs and respect everything that
Speaker 4: they have accomplished, in many ways, Buffalo is gonna wasch
Speaker 4: that tape and They're gonna go, oh my goodness. We
Speaker 4: had so many opportunities that we just didn't capitalize them.
Speaker 2: I was rooting for the referees yesterday, I went rooting
Speaker 2: for Buffalo or Kansas City. I wanted. I wanted it
Speaker 2: to be a controversy free game.
Speaker 4: Me too.
Speaker 2: Then you have the spot they worthy play. It just
Speaker 2: feeds into that narrative of Kansas City gets the call.
Speaker 4: Yep, it does, and you hate that. You hate it
Speaker 4: because everything on your right, everything on my Twitter feed,
Speaker 4: when I'm sitting there looking at it and just typing
Speaker 4: some stuff, turning the game, everything is about yeah but
Speaker 4: the refs. Yeah, but the refs. Yeah, but the you
Speaker 4: know what, and that was that was like the same
Speaker 4: the same thing was happening, Like honestly in the first
Speaker 4: game in the in the a Philly in the Philly
Speaker 4: in Washington game, it's it's always about about why Washington
Speaker 4: ultimately ultimately lost that game, and like that, that has
Speaker 4: become like an easy go to thing now for people,
Speaker 4: and I understand that there are some things that look
Speaker 4: at it's no different than any other sport where sometimes
Speaker 4: superstars get preferential treatment, superstars get calls that you just
Speaker 4: don't necessarily see, uh other teams or other players getting calls.
Speaker 4: But it shouldn't be the dominating like just narrative surrounding
Speaker 4: a football team like Kansas City when they have earned
Speaker 4: it on the field, they've earned the Super Bowls that
Speaker 4: they've won, they earned the right think they lost one
Speaker 4: game this year when everyone in our business, every single one,
Speaker 4: every single week from about the halfway point on, was
Speaker 4: trying to find ways to say why this football team
Speaker 4: would not get back to New Orleans. Yeah, they found
Speaker 4: the way every single week. And now quite honestly, they're
Speaker 4: playing at their up, they're they're they're peaking at the
Speaker 4: right time, and that's very dangerous for Philadelphia.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but if you're going back to the Super Bowl
Speaker 2: against Philadelphia, that was a controversial call late in the
Speaker 2: game that went the Chiefs way on the past interference.
Speaker 2: So true, I mean, but.
Speaker 4: What who's that? Who is that against against?
Speaker 2: Was that against Bradbury?
Speaker 4: James Bradberry, But he said himself that yeah, he did,
Speaker 4: he grabbed them. It is what I mean see in that.
Speaker 4: I don't I don't. I don't know, Dan, I don't
Speaker 4: know how controversial that call was. That that was a
Speaker 4: clear if that was it, if that was any other
Speaker 4: team other than Kansas City, it's like, yeah, that that's
Speaker 4: passoror Ferris, that's defensive holding. I mean, you can't do it.
Speaker 4: But because it's Kansas City, and because there have been
Speaker 4: plays that that do spark a lot of debate about
Speaker 4: whether or not referees are giving them some calls that
Speaker 4: they don't necessarily deserve, it's going to get amplified. But yeah,
Speaker 4: I see your point. I see your point.
Speaker 2: When did it start to go wrong for the Commanders?
Speaker 4: Oh boy, Well, a number well, there's a number of
Speaker 4: different things. The explosive play component right out of the Gates.
Speaker 4: The first play kind of was a precursor of what
Speaker 4: you saw was going to happen in this football game
Speaker 4: as far as them, they're inability to contain the run game,
Speaker 4: to contain the explosive play component. And then if you
Speaker 4: take it back to the first drive for Washington where
Speaker 4: they had what was that? What was that like an
Speaker 4: eighteen play drive they eat up like eight to nine
Speaker 4: minutes and you still only get three that you knew,
Speaker 4: you knew every drive had to end up in six
Speaker 4: it had to and when they weren't able to do that,
Speaker 4: I mean, that's that's forecasting way way way ahead of
Speaker 4: time and really trying to say that you know something
Speaker 4: that that really you don't. You don't know if it's
Speaker 4: gonna be that's gonna be the case all game long.
Speaker 4: But it just seems so difficult.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 4: I talked about this earlier in the day on Sports
Speaker 4: Center about that, like Vick was gonna Fangio, the defensive coordinator,
Speaker 4: was gonna make it hard for Jayden. He was gonna
Speaker 4: make them have to drive eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve plays.
Speaker 4: He was gonna play a lot more too high and
Speaker 4: go do you have the patience to drive this ball
Speaker 4: and be perfect for eight, nine, ten, twelve, fifteen plays
Speaker 4: to score against our defense. I'm gonna bet that you don't.
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna make the same mistake I made when
Speaker 4: we came to Washington. We played a lot of single
Speaker 4: high and you earned us on the outside one on
Speaker 4: one with big plays not letting you do it. And
Speaker 4: he didn't let him do it. He simply didn't let
Speaker 4: him do it. And then that offensive line in the
Speaker 4: running game for Philly, It's just that that's gonna be
Speaker 4: the thing if you're Kansas City now moving forward. Cansey
Speaker 4: better have an answer for the big boy football that
Speaker 4: Philly's gonna try and play. And they better hope and
Speaker 4: they better make sure that Jalen doesn't get hot like
Speaker 4: it looked like he's starting to come on a little bit.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 4: It was nice to see him hit aj Brown, was
Speaker 4: nice to see Davonte make some plays because if they
Speaker 4: get that part going to man, it's gonna be it's
Speaker 4: gonna be just like it was the last time these
Speaker 4: two met down in Arizona.
Speaker 2: I like in Saquon Barkley to Barry Sanders from the
Speaker 2: standpoint of one yard minus two four yards sixty six.
Speaker 2: That's what Barry used to do. Now, different types of runners,
Speaker 2: but the end result is similar.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And you know what's cool about that is if
Speaker 4: you just kind of broaden that out from a bigger picture,
Speaker 4: looking at it from a bigger picture. That's why I
Speaker 4: wasn't concerned, or really haven't been concerned about Philadelphia's inability
Speaker 4: to create explosives in the passing game, which many people
Speaker 4: thought was going to be something that would hold them
Speaker 4: back from being able to win a title or even
Speaker 4: get to the Super Bowl. I'm saying, well, look, Saquon
Speaker 4: is producing explosive plays at a historic rate like no
Speaker 4: running back has ever been able to do this. Besides
Speaker 4: who you're talking about, guys like Barry Sanders, and Barry
Speaker 4: just didn't have the team around him that obviously Saquan does.
Speaker 4: But that that point right there is the single greatest
Speaker 4: reason why this team is still as dangerous as it is.
Speaker 4: You know, on top of the fact that they have
Speaker 4: maybe the best collection of one through fifty three arguably
Speaker 4: in the NFL. But this guy can take a game
Speaker 4: and absolutely flip it on its head in a way
Speaker 4: that most coaches and most front office people think has
Speaker 4: to come in the passing game because no one's ever
Speaker 4: done it like that, No team has never reached the
Speaker 4: Super Bowl doing it like that, And this guy does
Speaker 4: it on the regular. You come to expect it now,
Speaker 4: which is just freakish. And he's a one of a
Speaker 4: kind tout. Look when Dave get him and drafted him
Speaker 4: in New York and got killed for it, he said,
Speaker 4: this is a gold jacket player. And obviously he wasn't
Speaker 4: able to build up the infrastructure around him to help
Speaker 4: him like Philly has. But he was right. He was
Speaker 4: dead right on the value.
Speaker 2: Yeah, when he goes in as a Philadelphia Eagle, then he'll.
Speaker 4: Be Unfortunately, Dave and John Maren, all of them are
Speaker 4: gonna be sitting there going, oh my god. And Joe
Speaker 4: Shay may too in the end.
Speaker 2: Okay, but does this change the philosophy going into this
Speaker 2: draft that now all of a sudden, our running backs
Speaker 2: back in vogue, that like Ashton Genty, is he a
Speaker 2: top ten pick now? Because we're looking at the kind
Speaker 2: of comeback of the running back.
Speaker 4: You know, it's gonna be very subjective. There's always gonna
Speaker 4: be people. They're gonna be a guy on our desk
Speaker 4: to come draft night by the name of mel Kiper,
Speaker 4: who still won't believe that you don't have that you
Speaker 4: have to draft a running back in the top ten
Speaker 4: or in the first round unless he is a Barry
Speaker 4: Sanders s type of talent, Abijon robins an s type
Speaker 4: of talent. But I think what it is showing you,
Speaker 4: what Saquan is making people think about, is this, if
Speaker 4: you have someone well, you know what, let's just compare
Speaker 4: him to Aston genty in particular, because I had the
Speaker 4: privilege of being able to call that game down the
Speaker 4: Fiesta Bow. He has the same characteristics, meaning body blow,
Speaker 4: body blow, four yards, one yard, four yards, five yards,
Speaker 4: seventy I'm out the gate and he's got It'll be
Speaker 4: interesting to see what Ashton runs. He looks like, he
Speaker 4: plays like a guy who has four to three speed
Speaker 4: at two hundred and twenty pounds and is basically nothing
Speaker 4: but one giant muscle. So yeah, I think that that
Speaker 4: conversation within scouting departments and in draft rooms is going
Speaker 4: to be, Hey, look, if there's a guy who we
Speaker 4: think in a league that puts a premium on explosive plays,
Speaker 4: can make explosive plays for us out of the backfield.
Speaker 4: Hell yeah, we're gonna draft them. It's exactly what Jamir
Speaker 4: Gibbs does for Detroit and what Brad Holmes got killed
Speaker 4: four drafted him in the first round. Yeah, I think
Speaker 4: I think Dan that whole conversation around never draft running
Speaker 4: backs in the top fifteen or in the first round overall.
Speaker 4: I think that that's over with.
Speaker 2: He's Lewis.
Speaker 4: I know there are gms right now who believe this.
Speaker 4: This is one of the best running back drafts that
Speaker 4: have been around that have come along in a while
Speaker 4: this year.
Speaker 2: Lewis Riddick of the Mothership NFL College Football analyst coaching hires.
Speaker 2: If I wanted to hide the fact that I hired
Speaker 2: a coach, I'd probably announce that on a Friday night
Speaker 2: that I had hired my coach, and you know, a
Speaker 2: busy weekend as well. And the Dallas Cowboys somehow did
Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys, who love attention, they love spotlight shiny things,
Speaker 2: notice me, And then all of a sudden, it's oh,
Speaker 2: by the way, oh yeah, forgot to tell you we
Speaker 2: hired Brian Schottenheimer as the head coach. What are they doing.
Speaker 4: What Jerry does?
Speaker 2: Okay, but could this be the right higher I mean,
Speaker 2: nobody else was interviewing Brian Schottenheimer.
Speaker 4: It could, It could. And you know what, if you
Speaker 4: wanted to play Devil's advocate, you could say, well, with
Speaker 4: the fact that there are seven, eight nine openings every
Speaker 4: single year, and a lot of times, these teams are
Speaker 4: hiring the people who everyone the consensus is these are
Speaker 4: the next hot up and comers.
Speaker 2: They're not.
Speaker 4: That's not the right way to do it either.
Speaker 2: No, So I mean, why not hire Dion? Why not
Speaker 2: if you love attention? I mean, what's on the downside,
Speaker 2: you're well for thirty.
Speaker 4: I think there's I think there's like and I'm not
Speaker 4: the first person to say this, but I have actually
Speaker 4: seen this in real life and I've seen how this works.
Speaker 4: You know, there's winning, and then there's winning the way
Speaker 4: you want to win. Like, sometimes winning isn't good enough
Speaker 4: for people. It's well now, but I'm not having fun
Speaker 4: because I'm not involved. I'm not the guy. I want
Speaker 4: to do it when I'm the guy, when I get
Speaker 4: the credit, when I can be the one who's in
Speaker 4: the you know, at the you know, at the at
Speaker 4: the head of the pack, and I'm the one who
Speaker 4: was the voice of the organization. Jerry already showed that
Speaker 4: he didn't like that back in the nineties when they
Speaker 4: were steamrolling everybody, and I played against those teams. Those
Speaker 4: teams were unstoppable. They simply were unstoppable. And he wound
Speaker 4: up getting rid of the guy, get rid of a
Speaker 4: Hall of Fame coach in Jimmy Johnson.
Speaker 2: But you're he's a great business man. You can't run
Speaker 2: a business.
Speaker 4: Then there are so many guys, every single guy, quite honestly,
Speaker 4: buying large. Not every guy, but most of the owners
Speaker 4: buying large in the NFL are a great business. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you don't buy football teams because you're not smart as
Speaker 4: far as how to make money. A whole lot of them, though,
Speaker 4: are terrible when it comes to understanding what it takes
Speaker 4: to win in the game of football. Hell I remember
Speaker 4: at one time having an owner say to me, quote,
Speaker 4: it's football, how hard can it be? And that's the
Speaker 4: kind of arrogance that a lot of those guys have
Speaker 4: when it comes to look at this game, it's just
Speaker 4: a bunch of guys who are running around pads, you know, hit.
Speaker 4: Just give me the best players, give me the give
Speaker 4: me the coach that everyone says the greatest and throw
Speaker 4: the football, score some touchdowns, keep them healthy. If they're not,
Speaker 4: we'll get someone else and just keep it going. Sometimes
Speaker 4: people look at it like that. They don't. They don't.
Speaker 4: They don't think it deserves the same that it has
Speaker 4: the same kind of nuance, or deserves the same kind
Speaker 4: of attention, or requires the same kind of mental horsepower
Speaker 4: that it requires to run Microsoft, or or or Apple,
Speaker 4: or you know, be a company that's that's a Fortune
Speaker 4: five hundred company that makes billions of dollars a year.
Speaker 4: They don't think, they don't think it's that intricate. But
Speaker 4: those are usually the ones who wind up on the
Speaker 4: outside looking in, looking for coaches every single year, wondering
Speaker 4: why damn why can't I get there? Why can't I
Speaker 4: be in the Super Bowl where now all the eyes
Speaker 4: are on me? Because they want to do it their way.
Speaker 4: That's why.
Speaker 2: Good to talk to you. Thanks for joining us. See
Speaker 2: you in New Orleans. Lewis Riddick, the Mother Shoe former
Speaker 2: safety and worked with the Eagles and Washington director of
Speaker 2: player personnel. Take a break. We have our best and
Speaker 2: worst of the weekend phone calls coming up, and we'll
Speaker 2: play Fill in the Blank.
Speaker 1: Right after this, be sure to catch the live edition
Speaker 1: of The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern
Speaker 1: six am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAPP.
Speaker 2: More phone calls coming up. It's let's see you have
Speaker 2: best and worst of the weekend. Also filling the Blank.
Speaker 2: America loves filling the Blank. I've got it right here.
Speaker 2: We're going to bring phill in the Blank to New Orleans.
Speaker 2: It's such a great game. And by the way, Dylan
Speaker 2: is sitting in for a seat and seatings on the
Speaker 2: road with the French Kid. So Dylan this week is
Speaker 2: a seat filler. But unlike seat fillers at the Academy Ward, no, no,
Speaker 2: you get to you get to speak. I know what
Speaker 2: you're saying. I just didn't want an empty seat. Although
Speaker 2: some have suggested it is an empty seat with you
Speaker 2: sitting in it, and I said, that's not fair. That
Speaker 2: isn't fair. Dylan. Dylan is very valuable. He does the
Speaker 2: graphics on the show and he also is part of
Speaker 2: the Gambling podcast.
Speaker 3: I think Anthony took over for graphics today. You may
Speaker 3: have already mastered it better than I have.
Speaker 2: So Anthony is an intern and I said to the
Speaker 2: big german, could Anthony figure this out? Because I thought
Speaker 2: it might take him a few days. And I go
Speaker 2: back there and I see it. He's it right out
Speaker 2: of college. I go, are you okay, Goes? Oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: like not a problem at all. Seaton would be hard
Speaker 2: to replace. Apparently you wouldn't be hard to replace. Yes,
Speaker 2: it was. You thought this was your big coming out, partysed. Yes,
Speaker 2: all right, let's do fill in the blank. I will
Speaker 2: give you a sentence and then you fill in the blank.
Speaker 2: It's that simple. The Washington commanders are blank. Todd no rookies.
Speaker 12: They are no rookies. They look like they've been there before.
Speaker 12: Jayden Daniels maybe have been a rookie. But they are
Speaker 12: playing and we'll continue to play like Dylan.
Speaker 2: The commanders are blank hopeful, okay, Marvin trending up? Okay,
Speaker 2: Pauline refreshing. I want to put a tab on that.
Speaker 2: Though they still need new uniforms, I don't know they
Speaker 2: have some that I really like, some I really like.
Speaker 11: They would have probably had two less turnovers. The uniforms
Speaker 11: too fewer.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 2: The Washington Commanders are for real. Jalen Hurts is blank
Speaker 2: tod sneaky dangerous.
Speaker 12: You gotta say a fast and making one.
Speaker 3: Word, Okay, snaky dangerous, Dylan undeserving of all the criticism.
Speaker 11: Oh, Marvin, Jalen Hurts is enough, Paul, Mine was close
Speaker 11: to Marvin. I'm gonna go tough to beat.
Speaker 2: I'll say Jalen Hurts is good. Saquon Barkley is Blankton
Speaker 2: like that Eagles.
Speaker 12: Movie with the Mark Wahlberg while black. I'm gonna go invincible, convincible.
Speaker 2: Dylan hooking up the running back position, cookating up the
Speaker 2: running okay, kind of wordy, Marvin. Saquon Barkley is blank
Speaker 2: bonds ish Oh, okay.
Speaker 11: Paul Hall of Famey. If you had asked me a
Speaker 11: year ago, is Saquon Barkley going the Hall of Fame?
Speaker 11: We're going to be out of football in three years,
Speaker 11: I would have said out of football.
Speaker 2: Saquon Barkley is a giant.
Speaker 14: Oh yeah, Todd.
Speaker 2: The Bills lost because of bag last week or coaching.
Speaker 2: Give the blank The Bills.
Speaker 12: Lost because of blank bag slast weeker coaching, Dylan.
Speaker 14: Uh, the chip in the football not working it properly, okay, Marvin,
Speaker 14: push push fail, Paulie. The Bills lost because of the Bills.
Speaker 2: The Bills lost because of Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes is blank.
Speaker 12: Todd capitalizing, always capitalized on every little mistake or something
Speaker 12: doesn't go right by the other team.
Speaker 2: Dylan winning, winning, Marvin Jordan Esque Paully. Patrick Mahomes is
Speaker 2: blank ahead f schedule. Patrick Mahomes is the great eraser.
Speaker 5: The tush push play is blank Todd as nice, nice,
Speaker 5: Dylan bogus, Marvin effective, Paully in its final weeks.
Speaker 2: Ooh, you think it changes in the offseason.
Speaker 11: I do. Rarely does the NFL do anything to help
Speaker 11: the defense. But this tush push play really only serves
Speaker 11: one team, and the fans collectively don't like it. Here's
Speaker 11: the thing. In two thousand and five, for whatever reason,
Speaker 11: the NFL allowed lineman to push the ball carrier. It
Speaker 11: had been illegal for over fifty years. There still is
Speaker 11: a rule that you cannot pull the ball carrier. For
Speaker 11: whatever reason, two thousand and five, the NFL opened the
Speaker 11: door to push it. Nobody did it for years. If
Speaker 11: you remember, it was that same season in two thousand
Speaker 11: and five that the bush push happened in the USC,
Speaker 11: Notre Dame being which was illegal, not called the NFL
Speaker 11: could easily clear this up.
Speaker 2: The tush push is unstoppable. Although I had a problem.
Speaker 2: I have a problem with a hard count. They allowed
Speaker 2: the hard count. The hard count is to draw you
Speaker 2: off sides. So the Eagles were using a hard count
Speaker 2: and then the defense would jump off sides. They're doing
Speaker 2: what the hard count is meant to do at the end.
Speaker 2: So when they said I didn't know they could award
Speaker 2: a touchdown, I was. I kept thinking, it can't get
Speaker 2: any closer to the end zone, Like it's gonna be
Speaker 2: like four centimeters. Hey, if you jump off sides, it's
Speaker 2: going to be another four centimeters. And then they said, hey,
Speaker 2: if you do it one more time, we're going to
Speaker 2: get them a touchdown. I thought, wow, what was the
Speaker 2: expression the referee said of what they were doing?
Speaker 12: Yes time he said about that type of behavior he's there.
Speaker 2: Now, wasn't it palpable or something? He had a big
Speaker 2: word attached to that. I didn't think it was just hey,
Speaker 2: if you continue that kind of behavior. I thought that
Speaker 2: there was a little there was like an sat word
Speaker 2: in there, well, an sat word for me, maybe not
Speaker 2: for you guys. Do we have that exchange there? What
Speaker 2: that call?
Speaker 4: Was.
Speaker 2: We'll get some of our best people on that final
Speaker 2: hour on the way, more phone calls as well. Minister
Speaker 2: of Humor, get to administer some humor today, Fritzy Wow,
Speaker 2: Dylan is here. Marvin Paulie Yours truly final hour on
Speaker 2: the Monday straight Ahead.
