1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,280 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. They say a win is a win in 3 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: the NFL, doesn't matter if it's pretty or not. Style points. 4 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,680 Speaker 1: That happens in college, not the NFL. But the Kansas 5 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 1: City Chiefs are probably saying, hey, it was ugly, but 6 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,919 Speaker 1: it was a win. Squeaking by the Giants last night, 7 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,239 Speaker 1: and it's been this way for Kansas City for a 8 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: little while. Twelve penalties turned the ball over twice last night. 9 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: They had drops, mental mistakes. Patrick Mahomes a little bit 10 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 1: better at checking down, taking what the defense was going 11 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: to give him, but still he missed. Guys looked uncomfortable 12 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: at times. Defense did hold New York to seventeen points, 13 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: but this isn't a good Giants offensive team. The Chiefs 14 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 1: now improved to five hundred. They're four and four. All 15 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,880 Speaker 1: you gotta do is win your division and you're gonna 16 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: have a home playoff game. They have time to fix this. 17 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: I don't know if they have the players to fix this. 18 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: And the schedule is tough. They got the Packers next week, 19 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: they have the Raiders, they have the Cowboys, and the 20 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: way they played against New York is just not good enough. 21 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: To beat the better teams in the NFL. Ryan Clark, 22 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: former defensive back for the Steelers, works for the Mothership. 23 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 1: He'll join us coming up. How would he defend Patrick Mahomes. 24 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: Mahomes targeted Tyreek Hill eighteen times last night. Hill had 25 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: twelve catches. He averaged seven point eight yards per catch. 26 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: A lot of crossing patterns. They're hoping if they had 27 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: crossing patterns, maybe he could break one. Mahomes through seven 28 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: checkdowns to his running backs, completing all seven. Can Patrick 29 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 1: Mahomes be a game manager? I mean, this is what 30 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: it is. That's the approach they have to have. Defenses 31 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: are playing very deep. Everything's in front of them. Why 32 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: these defenses didn't do this earlier is mind boggling. I 33 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: would never never let Tyreek Hill have single coverage and 34 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: he's never beating me deep now sounds great and philosophy. 35 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: You know the same with Travis Kelsey. Everything's in front 36 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: because it'd be like if I said to Trey Young 37 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: or Steph Curry, you can't shoot threes, we're gonna take 38 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: the three away from you. Are you still going to 39 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 1: shoot threes? Are you going to force threes? Or are 40 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 1: you going to take the two. That's what defenses are 41 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: saying to Patrick Mahomes because Mahomes I likened him to 42 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: football's version of Steph Curry. Sometimes you don't know how 43 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: he's doing it, but he's incredible. Now those defenses are saying, 44 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,239 Speaker 1: let's see if you can just take what we give 45 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: you without getting panicky desperate, and you're starting to see 46 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: if Patrick Mahomes is able to do that. They're not 47 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: blowing people out. They're not going to blow people out, 48 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: and their defense played okay last night, but it was 49 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,679 Speaker 1: against the Giants. What happens when you face the Packers, 50 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: the Raiders, the Cowboys. That's where you're gonna find out 51 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: just how good the Kansas City Chiefs are going to 52 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: be this year. But if you said, okay, you're five hundred, 53 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,359 Speaker 1: you're sort of surviving here, but you have a tough schedule. 54 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: Denver's not good. We're not sure about the Raiders. They 55 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: seem to be up and down. Chargers they've been up 56 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: and down as well. Kansas City has to look at 57 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: the division and say, all right, it's not pretty, but 58 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: in our division it's still okay. And now the second 59 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: half of the season, we're gonna find out Andy Reid, 60 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: and we're gonna find out Patrick Mahomes, and maybe we're 61 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 1: gonna find out about Frank Clark, you know, Chris Jones, 62 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: Honey Badger. Are they going to be able to step 63 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: up and make some plays? Be sure to catch the 64 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: live edition of The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine 65 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: am Eastern six am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio in 66 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: the iHeart Radio app. Nick Wright first Thing's first co 67 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: host on Fox Sports one and I love the shirt 68 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: there you're flying the colors.

Esthetically, was that 80 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: a win? Last night for the Chiefs. Listen, when you're 81 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: a gritty, defensive minded team like my hometown Chiefs, uh 82 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: survive in advanced Dan Patrick, that's where the Chiefs are. 83 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: So here can I let me let me paint the 84 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: picture for you in the rosiest term responsible. If I 85 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,119 Speaker 1: were to tell you there was going to be a team, 86 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 1: this team the first month of the season would have 87 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: a historically bad defense. This team to set and month 88 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: of the season would forget how to play offense. This 89 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 1: team the entirety of the season would be on pace 90 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: to set the all time turnover record for modern football. 91 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: And they would have a schedule that includes four playoff 92 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: teams from last year plus the upstart Chargers. And I 93 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: told you the midway point, they're a game out of 94 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: first in the division. Everybody healthy, just added Melvin Ingram. 95 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: You might say they might be turning it around. You say, Nick, 96 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: you're being a little too optimistic. Well, Vegas doesn't agree 97 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: with you. As you look at the old line for 98 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: this weekend, Aaron Rodgers coming narrow it by the way, 99 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers they played Thursday, the Chiefs played last night. 100 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,919 Speaker 1: Seems a little unfair, Goodell, But that's not my business. 101 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 1: The Chiefs are favored in that game. So I say 102 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: all that to say this, with Derrick Henry out, with 103 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: the Bengals losing to the Jets, with the Ravens up 104 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 1: and down, the Chargers all of a sudden falling apart 105 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 1: aside from Buffalo, I don't think there's a team we 106 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: can say in the AFC is excellent. And I still 107 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 1: believe Patrick Mahomes is great. He just hasn't looked like 108 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: it the last month. So we'll see. It was an 109 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: ugly win. They have to go win two with their 110 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: next three against the Packers, Raiders and Cowboys, and then 111 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: we'll see. But I don't think they're dead. I think 112 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 1: it'd be silly to write them all. All right. You 113 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: look at this team, and you know, I wonder what 114 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: their identity is. Do they know their identity after eight games? No? 115 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: Because and that I think is being used against them, 116 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: which the identity has been We're gonna kill you with 117 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: the deep shot, and teams are taking that away, but 118 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: they are. But when you take that away, what is 119 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: available to you is the easy stuff. And they have 120 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: been correct embedding the Chiefs won't just take it. And 121 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: last night on that first drive of the game. They 122 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: took the easy stuff. They drove all the way down 123 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: the field. But then they can't help themselves. It's second down. 124 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: Is that Travis Kelsey in the backfield? Oh my god, 125 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: he's ladling them alls? So wasted play. And then on 126 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: third down you get a little unlucky you. A ball 127 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: goes off a guy's face mask and then those things 128 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: start to snowball. I just I couldn't believe it, but 129 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: I was watching the game last night and I'm like, 130 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: just run the ball. I know it's modern football and 131 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: you have Mahomes, but if they are giving you eight 132 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: guys dropping into coverage, then just take the eight yard 133 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: runs you're going to get every time. And teams are 134 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: correctly betting the Chiefs won't be patient enough, and up 135 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: to this point they haven't been. If they show that patience, 136 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: they'll have to come out of it, and the moment 137 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: you come out of it, they kill you. Because the 138 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: skill is still there and Mahomes is still, I believe, 139 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: the most talented player in the league. He just hasn't 140 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: played like it the last month. Yeah, you start to 141 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: watch and you wonder can you be a game manager? 142 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: And last hour. I'd like him Mahomes to Steph Curry 143 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: like they've sort of reinvented, you know, their positions. Yeah. 144 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: But if I said to Steph Curry, hey, there's all 145 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: the defense on the premier. You got to now take 146 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: the fifteen footer or try to get to the hoop? 147 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: Is he willing to do our Trey Young? If I said, hey, 148 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: you can't shoot the three, you gotta go inside, so 149 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: your mind says, well, that's not who I am, my identity. 150 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: And I wonder about that with Mahomes. If you say, 151 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: here's your checkdown, here's your seven yards, here's nine, Maybe 152 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: throw a home run. Maybe we don't have spectacular players. 153 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: Maybe we take a Tom Brady approach where we just 154 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: kind of get it down the feet and that's hard. 155 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: And would I would change the step analogy a little 156 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: bit to not step you take the fifteen footer, Steph. 157 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: You get to the hoop, Steph. We're gonna post up Wiseman, 158 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 1: and I promise you it'll work because the guy on 159 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 1: him is six one. They're putting all their length on 160 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: the perimeter. Just give it to him. You'll get a 161 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: lay up. And I think it is hard. Step would 162 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 1: be like, ah, I don't know. That doesn't seem like 163 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 1: the way we play, and it's just there. Derek Gore 164 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: was the running back last night, and I found myself saying, 165 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: give him the bullets, and even to me, I'm like, 166 00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 1: what am I talking about? But it was the defense 167 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: is giving that to you. The Chiefs have to be 168 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: willing to take it. And there is a level of 169 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: they're turning the ball over twenty four percent of the time. 170 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: The next highest teams are fifteen to eighteen percent, and 171 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,959 Speaker 1: they're the Jets, the Jags, and the Dolphins. In a 172 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: weird way, Dan, that is a little reassuring because that 173 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: is going to regress to the mean, like they're not 174 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: going to be the highest turnover team in the league 175 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: the rest of the year. But I thought it would 176 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: regress the mean. Last night they had two more and 177 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: could have had three. Bill's best team in the AFC 178 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:35,599 Speaker 1: right now. You got to give him credit for it. 179 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: Then I didn't think they were very good this weekend. 180 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: I mean, it's three to three and a half. It 181 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 1: was a one. It was and I saw Josh Allen 182 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 1: became the overwhelming MVP favorite after this weekend, and I 183 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: guess that's a reaction to Brady playing poorly, Derrick Henry 184 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 1: going down. But the Bills are the only team that 185 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: you can say are consistent. They had those terrible performance 186 00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 1: Week one. Other than that, they've been really good. The 187 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: Titans had a claim, but Derrick Henry's now done. I 188 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: don't trust the Bengals with that lack of experience. As 189 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: dynamic as they can be, the Ravens make no sense 190 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: to me. They are at times they look like, oh 191 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: my god, they're the best team in football, and then 192 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,599 Speaker 1: at times they need a sixty six yard or to 193 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: beat the Lions, who are the worst team in football. 194 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: The Chargers looked amazing and now they've looked terrible. So 195 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: that you know, the NFC is very different the NFC was. 196 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: We talked to Mercedes Lewis today. There's the Package are 197 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 1: seven to one. They're in a four way tie. Let's 198 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,199 Speaker 1: hop the NFC because the Cardinals, the Cowboys and the 199 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: Rams and then there's the Bucks. The AFC's not like 200 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: that this year. Are the Cowboys really good or do 201 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: we want them to be really good? Dan? I think 202 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: they're really good. I here's I don't trust Mike McCarthy 203 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: at all. As far as people talk about clock management, 204 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 1: I don't know if I trust Mike McCarthy to tell 205 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: me what time. It is much less clock management, but 206 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: the rest of it. Dan they have, Micah Parsons is awesome. 207 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: He's awesome. Randy Gregory when he's been on the field 208 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: and his career has been really good. Treyvon Diggs, to me, 209 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: is the real deal. You have all that talent on 210 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: offense and winning a game like they won last week 211 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: with a guy who had thrown three passes in his career. 212 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: I feel like the Cowboys are almost never properly rated 213 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: because for so long they were overrated. But I don't know, 214 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: if you know, there's some people on national television, maybe 215 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: even some of my colleagues that are, you know, big 216 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 1: big Cowboys fans, so just talk about them a lot, 217 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: and so I think sometimes they'd been overrated, And now 218 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 1: I wonder if they're a touch underrated. Winning that game 219 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: against a tough Vikings team with Cooper Rush, have you 220 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: fall down seven? Nothing immediately east? To me, he's a 221 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: pretty gritty, impressive win. He's nick right Fox Sports one. 222 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: The first things first. The first month of the NBA 223 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: season got a overwhelming storyline, Well, the Celtics are a mess. 224 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if you've played the Marcus 225 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 1: Smart sound, but it's odd to me that Marcus Smarts like, listen, 226 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 1: Tatum and Brown were proud of them. You're proud of them? 227 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: Are you the father? You're twenty seven years old, Jalen 228 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: Brown's twenty five. Like, calm down, Marcus Smart, He's like, hey, 229 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 1: Marcus Smart's like, listen, guys, even though at Oklahoma State 230 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 1: they didn't run ISO plays. For me, we need to 231 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 1: let Marcus Cook. That's how we're gonna get going. That's 232 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: something you mentioned. The Warriors. Warriors look pretty damn good 233 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: without play now. I think it'd be foolhardy to assume 234 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: when he comes back, we're getting the same play on 235 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: the defensive end that we had years before. But they 236 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 1: look good. And the Lakers are going to be a 237 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: massive work in progress all year until they figure out 238 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: how they want to play. That's gonna take fifty games. 239 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: And then, to me, the overwhelming story is, is James 240 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 1: Harden a great player under the new rules? I don't 241 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: know the answer to that. He wasn't a great player. 242 00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: He was a good player before he started breaking Bassa 243 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: in a really smart way. What made him the scoring 244 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: champ was getting a line thirteen times a game and 245 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: shooting a dozen threes a game. He's had one excellent 246 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: game this year he shot eighteen free throws. Every other 247 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: game he's been okay. And if he's not great, the 248 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: nets are drawing dead and Dan, I think Katie knows it. 249 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: Do you see Katie this weekend through the ball under 250 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: the stands randomly? That was odd. The next game he 251 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: elbows Kelly Olenick gets thrown out. That was odd. I 252 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 1: think Katie's a little frustrated. So those are to me 253 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: the stories so far exchange explain the new rule change 254 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: and how it's affecting not only James Harden but you 255 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: know other scorers around the league. Well, I think it's affecting. 256 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 1: The three guys that should affect the most are Hardened, 257 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: Tray and Steph. Steph is leading the league and scoring. 258 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: Trey has been fine. Affecting a little bit, it's affected 259 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: Harden a ton. What the NBA essentially said is if 260 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: there is a foul, but it is generated because the 261 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,439 Speaker 1: offensive player does what I call a Jabroni move or 262 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,680 Speaker 1: a non basketball move, you know, tries to essentially trick 263 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 1: the RAF or trick the defender. We're not going to 264 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: call it, so what. Once upon a time the only 265 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: guy who really did it was Chris Paul. And Chris 266 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: Paul would do it in the open court. He'd be 267 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 1: dribbling super fast, there's no guy who's behind him. He 268 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 1: just stop, got to run him over be a foul. 269 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: It's like, oh, that's kind of smart. James Harden, And 270 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: again I give him credit for this. Figured out, Oh, 271 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: I can instead of trying to make a basket, I 272 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: can try to draw a foul. So he would do 273 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: things to basically just position the defender's arm between his 274 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: arms and then instead of going in a shooting motion, 275 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: he would just throw his arms in the air. And 276 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: the NBA said, we're not having it anymore. And it 277 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: has really affected him, like drastically affected him. And I 278 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: don't judge him for that, just like I don't John Lynch. 279 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: I don't say, well, John Lynch isn't a great player, 280 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: because under these rules he wouldn't have been as effective. 281 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: Harden was great under the rules he was playing by. 282 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 1: They just changed the rules on him and maybe he 283 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: could have adjusted. But when you play one way for 284 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: eight years, like Dan, I'm sure once upon a time, 285 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: your game had a lot to do with athleticism. For 286 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: the last twenty five years, you've just been an old 287 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: man jump shooter. It's hard to adjust, right, I mean, 288 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: I would assume, yeah, you don't play basketball with me, 289 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: even though I've asked you. I mean, I asked you 290 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: to go fishing. I asked you to go to a 291 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: football game. I actually play basketball, but I don't have 292 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: your home address. I send it into studio, probably gets 293 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: lost with all your other merch. I just I don't know. 294 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: You sounded kind of desperate, and that's why I like, 295 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: I got nervous with your desperation for friendship. Well, Dan, 296 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: I don't have many friends, and oh I thought you 297 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: were gonna be one. And no, you just used me 298 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: for these takes. You know, last year I gave you 299 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 1: three months of content when I said Texas barbecue sucked. 300 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: You haven't had me all the sense And now how 301 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: did that work out for you? I've worked out great 302 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 1: for you. You were like, oh, hey, boys, what's the 303 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: show friend? Play the knits sound again? We're gonna bring 304 00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: on the grill man, Like Okay, Hall of Famer. Did 305 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: you did you catch any heat for the Texas? I don't, man, 306 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: I the My Twitter is just always on fire. I 307 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: just mute everyone. I just I you know, my Twitter 308 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: is a one way conversation, me giving the takes and 309 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: receiving none of it, which is why I was so 310 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 1: concerned when a packet showed up to my house. But 311 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: it's all right, by the way. I had to point 312 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: out to the Rams their their Twitter account when they 313 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: had the Teddy KGB. Yeah, I know he lost the 314 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 1: Rounders clip and I thought I liked that. You're all in, 315 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: but somebody should have told somebody in the Rams office 316 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 1: watched the rest of the movie. Can I say something 317 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: real quick about that? I don't know how if we're late, 318 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: just real quick on Okay, if the Rams win the 319 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, it's fine the Rams. Everyone's like, oh my god, 320 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: the Rams. Look at how they're running their team. Anyone 321 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: could run their team like that. If you me and Seaton, 322 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 1: we're in a who can have the coolest car competition 323 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: and I took all the equity out of my house 324 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 1: and maxed out all my credit cards. I'd probably win, 325 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: but I might be screwed long term. The Rams. To me, 326 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 1: they are you know, uh, an inventor that knows they've 327 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 1: gotten the next great thing. And they might, but they 328 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: also might liquidate everything, come up just short, and just 329 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: be screwed. I think it is an incredibly risky gambit. 330 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: And if you're the Broncos, he was gonna walk for nothing. 331 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 1: You got a second and a third for nine games 332 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 1: of onon Miller. It's a great move for the Broncos. 333 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 1: Maybe the Rams win the Super Bowl. They don't win 334 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,640 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. I think they're in real, real rough 335 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: shape with the way they're running that team.

He's Ryan Clark who joins us on 366 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: loan for the Mothers Ship. Should that feel like a 367 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,439 Speaker 1: win to the Kansas City Chiefs last night? Yeah? I 368 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 1: mean when you win a football game, you win a 369 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,880 Speaker 1: football game, and you know in this league, Dan, it's 370 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: hard to get ws, but you also have to go 371 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 1: in and fatigue it even harder with the win. You know, 372 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 1: Now you can be harder on Patrick Mahomes, harder on 373 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey. You can you know, speak to Dan Sours 374 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 1: and that defense about giving up the deep ball without 375 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: it necessarily feeling like you have to build these guys 376 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 1: up because you do have a w The Kansas City 377 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: Chiefs have a higher standard than other teams in this 378 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 1: league right now. You know, we expect certain things from them, 379 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: and I believe they expect certain things from themselves. You know, 380 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 1: I had colleagues sea game before the season because the 381 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs go seventeen and oh yeah, and they're 382 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 1: four and four. Yeah. But you start to look at 383 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: this and now we're seeing defenses basically say all right, 384 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: let's see if you can be a conservative offense or 385 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 1: you're not going to hit those home runs. Why did 386 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: it take so long for defenses to kind of figure 387 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 1: this out of not let Mahomes throw those deep balls 388 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: to Tyree Hill. Maybe it sounds simpler than what it is. Ryan. 389 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: You know what, it's actually pretty simple. If you go 390 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: back to last year, Dan and I said this, and 391 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: I spoke about it on TV Rocky Morris in Atlanta 392 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,920 Speaker 1: Falcons when they played the Kansas City Chiefs late in 393 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: the season. I want to say kens the City scoring 394 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: sixteen cheventeen points that game. It was in a win 395 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: because Atlanta was terrible, but they played a too high 396 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,159 Speaker 1: shell and then they rotate a safety every now and 397 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 1: then to Tyree killed on those deep crossers that he'd 398 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: get from trips formations and it'd worked. And then if 399 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,120 Speaker 1: you watch the Super Bowl, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, even 400 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,719 Speaker 1: though they were able to rush the passer because they 401 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: had so many injuries on the front line of the 402 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs, Tampa Bay Buccaneers did the same thing. 403 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: And so what it does is it makes Patrick Mahomes 404 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: play slow as well. I mean, he famously admitted himself 405 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 1: that he couldn't read defenses till, you know, halfway into 406 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: the year he was the starting quarterback, and I think 407 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: by making him play slow, by making them earn it, 408 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 1: by forcing them to run. You know, teams are making 409 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 1: them conservative and honestly quite boring, Dan, And you know 410 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 1: that team likes to have fun, and so they're gonna 411 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: have to adjust and learn a new identity. Can Patrick 412 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: Mahomes be a game manager? I believe so, but he's 413 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: out obviously too talented to ever just to be that. 414 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: What Patrick Mahomes has to be though, is more accurate, right, 415 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,120 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes has to be more efficient. Patrick Mahomes has 416 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,879 Speaker 1: to be a quicker decision maker, and he also a 417 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: little bit has to not be Patrick Mahomes. And what 418 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 1: I mean by that is he doesn't need the big 419 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: play all the time. You know, sometimes it's okay to 420 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 1: hit the smart play. Sometimes it's okay to get the 421 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: check down. And he's gonna have to fight against that himself. 422 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: You and your prime against Tyreek Hill or Travis Kelsey, 423 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,439 Speaker 1: Who do you want? I would definitely, I would definitely 424 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: want Travis Kelsey because Tyreek Hill got some stuff I 425 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: don't have, you know, at least Travis Kelsey. I say, close, Hey, man, 426 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,439 Speaker 1: if it's Tyree Hill and it's just me. That's probably 427 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,400 Speaker 1: over before it starts. And that's terrible coaching if that's 428 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:50,119 Speaker 1: what coach Lebolle would have decided to do. What's that 429 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,919 Speaker 1: feeling like when you watch somebody run by you and 430 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: you know that you don't have that makeup speed? Well, 431 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,880 Speaker 1: you know what it's. It's it's one you're pissed off 432 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: as yourself and you're upset with yourself because you could 433 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:02,719 Speaker 1: have got You should have got back a little deeper 434 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 1: if you knew you couldn't run with them. And it's 435 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: honestly just sheer pink, right, you know that everybody stands 436 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: up in the stands, people start screaming, and you're so 437 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: scared that you can't look back for the ball and 438 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 1: all you're doing is waiting for the inevitable, which is 439 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,199 Speaker 1: a touchdown. It's it's one of those moments. It's one 440 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 1: of those moments where you realize, you know what, some 441 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 1: people just left the hospital for a little more than others. 442 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,120 Speaker 1: We're talking to Ryan Clark, a former NFL defenship back 443 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 1: of course works for the Mothership. Are the Saints, okad quarterback? 444 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,399 Speaker 1: You know what? I think they can be. You know, 445 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: we haven't gotten to see Trevor sidy And play quarterback 446 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 1: in a long time. Obviously, we had he had a 447 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 1: great year at Denver and many people thought that he 448 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,400 Speaker 1: could be the future starter or franchise guy there, and 449 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 1: we felt like Sean Payton is the quarterback in Whisper. 450 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,400 Speaker 1: I mean, to be honest. Wasn't that why we were 451 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: so excited about Jamis Because we've seen Sean Payton be 452 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: successful with Taysom Hill, We've seen him be successful with 453 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater. And so when you look at what Trevor 454 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 1: Simeon was able to do yesterday coming I mean two 455 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 1: days ago, coming into the game against the Tampa Bay Bucceteers, 456 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 1: I mean, he looked extremely competent. This defense is a 457 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: defense that can keep you in games. So they can 458 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: be okay moving forward, or at least as okay as 459 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: they were with Jamis Winston. They still need to add 460 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,639 Speaker 1: a pass catcher, so you're hoping Michael Thomas can come 461 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 1: back healthy of the I R Yeah. I mentioned this 462 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,160 Speaker 1: earlier that I would reach out and see if Denver 463 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,879 Speaker 1: be willing to part with Teddy Bridgewater since he's already 464 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 1: had success there, knows the offense and would probably be 465 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,680 Speaker 1: an upgrade over Trevor Simeon. Therefore, I can keep Taysom 466 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 1: Hill maybe at that all purpose position, and you know, 467 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: because you're lacking offensive weapons, Yeah, I don't think. I 468 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: don't think moving Taysom Hill to the quarterback position is that. 469 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,199 Speaker 1: And for this team. I even believe if you can 470 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 1: go back to last year, especially late in his run. 471 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,120 Speaker 1: You know, you look at Philadelphia a game four last year, 472 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: he was kind of being found out. They were figuring 473 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 1: out that he couldn't push the football down the field, 474 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,160 Speaker 1: that he wouldn't get out of the pocket and run 475 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 1: as often as he was or Wood when he was 476 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 1: the Wildcat quarterback. And so I believe keeping Tasom where 477 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 1: he is at that h back being able to play quarterback, 478 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 1: it's the thing to do. And if you can't get 479 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,120 Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater back, I believe that something you do. The 480 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: thing we don't know is what they see in Trevor Simeon. 481 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,400 Speaker 1: Drew Brees kind of spoke about it on the broadcast 482 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: this week that he said Trevor Simeon is more than competent, 483 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 1: It is more than capable of being the starting quarterback 484 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 1: of that team, and I think Sean Payton, if he's 485 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 1: seen a NUS, is willing to do that. The Rams 486 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 1: picking up von Miller means what It means that the 487 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: Rams are all in on winning the Super Bowl right now. 488 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 1: Also it means how in the hell or who in 489 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,360 Speaker 1: the hell is manipulating the salary cap in Los Angeles. 490 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: You know, some people like like some people can't keep 491 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 1: one quarterback, and you know they've been able to assemble 492 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 1: you know, probably this error error's best edge rusher, obviously, 493 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 1: this error's best de tackle and the best cornerback in 494 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,160 Speaker 1: the game. I think they decided that you know, they're 495 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: going to rush the past or they're gonna get to 496 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 1: the quarterback, and they're gonna score points offensively. I know 497 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: von Miller was a little bit sad yesterday and you 498 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: can kind of see the emotion when he spoke leaving Denver. 499 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,199 Speaker 1: But I'm sure that all changed when he remembered that 500 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald gets double and triple team and that he's 501 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,880 Speaker 1: gonna have one on ones all day. Oh. I thought 502 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: it was a must cry situation for von Miller, But 503 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:24,199 Speaker 1: deep down he's going on, hell yeah, hell yeah, I 504 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,160 Speaker 1: get out of here. I'm going to LA. I got 505 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 1: a chance to play in the Super Bowl. Before I 506 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 1: let you go, you faced Adrian Peterson. The Titans are coming, 507 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 1: you know, gonna reach out and I guess bring him in. 508 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 1: I don't know what he's got left. But what was 509 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,639 Speaker 1: it like to face Adrian Peterson in this prime? Oh? 510 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: It was absolutely It was absolutely terrifying because he was 511 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,640 Speaker 1: a guy that had first round talent, obviously, but he's 512 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 1: top ten pick, seventh pick of the draft. But he 513 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: ran like an undrafted free agent, you know, like he 514 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 1: ran like every every time he got the football that 515 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: he was fighting for his career and or his life. 516 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,400 Speaker 1: And when you have to tackle a man who has 517 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 1: no regard for his own body, that's a that's a 518 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 1: very scary proposition. And you know, he's one of the 519 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,399 Speaker 1: best to ever do it. He's obviously a Hall of Famer. 520 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 1: We don't know what he has now, but he was 521 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: the Derrick Henry of his time. He was the guy 522 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 1: that was, without a doubt, far ahead of any other 523 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 1: runner in the game. And you know, it's good to 524 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,160 Speaker 1: see him back. Hope gets another opportunity, But man, I sure, dude, 525 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 1: mister the old all day. Yeah, he rushed for one 526 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 1: hundred and forty yards against your Steeler defense in twenty thirteen. Yeah, 527 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:36,360 Speaker 1: I remember that, Dan, thanks a lot. What's that like though, 528 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,439 Speaker 1: when you know that this guy it's gonna hurt, Like, 529 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 1: this guy's running and I gotta hit him. It's my job. 530 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 1: He's got sixty pounds on me. What's that like? I mean, 531 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,400 Speaker 1: I think I think I think it's one of those 532 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,439 Speaker 1: things that's it's it's why you do it, you know, 533 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,159 Speaker 1: And I think it's why we're kind of all screwed 534 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: up in the head, you know it. Actually, it actually 535 00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,160 Speaker 1: excites you because you want to see if you can 536 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 1: win who the better man is or who we obviously 537 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: know who the bigger man is, but who the better 538 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,239 Speaker 1: man is when you get your opportunity. And so for me, 539 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: that was always the challenge in it. You know, can 540 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,640 Speaker 1: you step up and do some things that quote unquote 541 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 1: normal human wouldn't attempt to do? And so that's why 542 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,399 Speaker 1: we love the ball. Ryan, great to talk to you again. 543 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 1: Thank you, my best to the guys on Get Up. 544 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us. May thank you so much. Man, 545 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 1: You have a great day.
