WEBVTT - 12/14/20 HOUR 1- Peter King 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.480 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:06.920 Sports Radio. Hope you had a great weekend. Everybody, gang's 0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:11.400 all here, ready to go. My new best friend, Todd Fritz. Yeah, 0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:13.760 here in the man cave. I yelled at Todd this morning. 0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:16.639 I hate that, I know, but all it was was 0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:19.680 a reminder. I just said, you got to turn down 0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:22.720 the sound on some of the other TV monitors. You 0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:24.480 would have said it like that, and I probably would 0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:25.959 have had a little lot better than the where you 0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:28.760 did say it. But I had told you one other 0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:31.960 time to you got to turn down the TV, you'd 0:00:32.000 --> 0:00:34.320 only have to say it once. Yes. And then I said, Todd, 0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:36.680 you can't do that. It's imperative you turned down the 0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:39.239 monitors because lawsuits and all kinds of heart. And then 0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:42.000 you went silent on me. And I went out there 0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:43.640 like two minutes ago. I said, come on, let's go. 0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:46.800 I know, I said you can't. It's Monday. I was 0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:49.280 actually gonna leave, but that that would be really unprofessional 0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:53.120 to get that upset. I'm still here. Oh, welcome to 0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:55.920 the program already in progress. As you can tell best 0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:58.120 and worst of the weekend.

Bill's handled 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:47.560 the Steelers last night. Jalen Hurts wins his debut, but 0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:50.640 is he going to be the starting quarterback against the 0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:55.800 Cardinals next weekend? Washington wins again, and it's getting kind 0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:59.080 of interesting there in the NFC East. Peter King will 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:01.920 join us coming up in a little bit. The Eagles 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:05.000 needed to try something yesterday against the Saints. With their 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:08.400 seasons slipping away. They benched Carson Wentz for Jalen Hurts, 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:12.480 and he looked good. The Eagles got a surprising win 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:15.560 over the Saints. Hurts numbers were good, but that only 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:19.120 tells part of the story. What I found was kind 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:21.840 of the aftershocks of what I saw when they played 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:24.680 Green Bay. It felt like he was lifting a team, 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:28.200 like truly lifting a team, Like they seemed to be 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:31.040 playing with a different kind of energy, like there was 0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:35.040 something there that was tangible, and you know, the run 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:38.280 game returned, the receivers stepped up, they made plays, The 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:41.280 defense pitched a shutout in the first half against the 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:45.440 New Orleans Saints. But this felt like this is New 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:49.440 Orleans formula because with Drew Brees out, you know, the 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:52.960 defenses stepped up, and the new quarterback, whether it was 0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:57.320 Teddy Bridgewater last year or Taysom Hill this year, Sean 0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:00.400 Payton eight no with backup quarterbacks over the last two seasons. 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:04.400 But the Eagles rallied behind Hurts. He didn't get sacked, 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:07.480 didn't throw an interception, ran for over one hundred yards. 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:11.000 Eagle fans got to be excited about what they saw yesterday. 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:14.240 And you would expect Doug Peterson, the Eagles head coach, 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:16.960 to be so excited and he can't wait to tell 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:19.120 you that, Yes, Jalen Hurts is going to be my 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:23.280 quarterback against the Cardinals next Sunday. Instead, he said, this 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:27.400 is Jalen, You're started next week, and if so, what 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:29.560 will the challenge be? You know, now that more tape 0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:33.120 is out on him, I'm gonna enjoy this one. I'm 0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:36.320 gonna go home and relax and be with my family 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:38.560 tonight and enjoy this win and get rid of for 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:45.560 the week. Oh boy, that's that inspires you right now? 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:48.360 I know he wants to This is gamesmanship. I'm sure 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:50.360 that's what I'm gonna be told, right doesn't want to 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:53.520 let the Cardinals know who they're facing. Okay, the Cardinals 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:58.920 defense faces Kyler Murray. They know what this type of 0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:02.240 quarterback is like. Although Kyler Murray is a better quarterback, 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:05.480 more dangerous. But this isn't going to be a big 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:08.600 surprise like the surprise will be if you have Carson 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:13.160 Wentz starting in this game. Jalen Hurts played well. Once 0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:17.120 these defensive coordinators get more tape on Jalen Hurts, then 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:20.760 it's going to be different. Then they're gonna say, Jalen, 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:22.919 let's see if you can beat us from the pocket. 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:27.360 Because the Saints allow Jalen Hurts to run as much 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:30.920 as he wanted to. It felt like yesterday that's not 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:35.000 going to continue. It doesn't all the great quarterbacks, it 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:41.680 doesn't continue because whether you're Kyler Murray, Lamar Jackson, RG three, 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:46.000 Michael Vick, eventually you don't run as much as you 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:49.920 once did. And that's because usually either get injured and 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:52.599 or you get a little bit smarter. But what I saw, 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:58.960 what Jalen Hurts yesterday was really really good and it 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:01.919 was different than cars and Wentz. And right now you 0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:06.200 need something different from Carson Wentz because that team is 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:11.160 looking around going, man, we're stale. That was a fun 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:15.520 performance by the Eagles yesterday. And Jalen Hurts did this 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:21.719 against arguably the number one defense in football. He looked 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:27.599 really good against a very good Saints defense and also 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:32.800 not getting sacked. Remember Carson Wentz with that offensive line 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:37.240 and the receivers, and I mean you can make those excuses. 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:41.800 There were no excuses needed yesterday. He didn't get sacked. 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:45.160 He threw the ball away, he didn't hold onto it. 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:49.200 That's the rookie mistake. Rookies always want to hold on. 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:51.440 Your young quarterbacks. They want to hold on and try 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:53.960 to make a play because they're so used to doing 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:55.960 that in high school, in college. He can't do that 0:05:56.000 --> 0:06:00.280 in the NFL. You eventually have to throw and live 0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:03.200 to see another play. Throw it away. But what he 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:09.479 did yesterday, that was very impressive and not easy. But 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:14.520 I can't imagine Doug Peterson's gonna go, yeah, Jalen looks okay, 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:19.200 but we're gonna get Carson Wentz back in there. I would. Now, 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:22.040 I don't want you to name Jalen Hurts your start 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:25.120 to the rest of the regular season, but you do 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:28.120 have a true quarterback controversy. There are times we try 0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:30.560 to manufacture this in the media. Now you have a 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:35.760 real one. Because keep in mind, this team can still 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:40.880 win the division. Here you have there four eight and one. 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:45.000 A win on Sunday against Arizona and a Washington lost 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.800 to Seattle means the Eagles would have a would be 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:52.120 a half game behind Washington, and then Washington plays at 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:58.799 Philadelphia week seventeen that could decide the division. Doug Peterson 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:02.200 has big decisions to make because you can still win 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:05.960 a division and host a playoff game, and if you 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:10.280 can beat arguably the best team in the NFC at home, 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:14.840 you might be able to take that first round victory. 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:18.400 Depending on who you're hosting. You're not gonna be afraid 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:22.200 of anybody, at least I wouldn't be. Now you can say, well, 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:26.040 Taysom Hill in there instead of Drew Brees. Okay, that 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:29.880 doesn't explain the defense for the Saints, because Jalen Hurts, 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:32.080 they should have been up twenty to nothing at halftime. 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:35.200 Mister field goal there at the very end. But if 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:41.560 you're Philadelphia, dare to dream flyagals fly absolutely certainly in 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:44.640 the NFC East.

Before I give you the poll, 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:09.480 can I just make an official statement for all Philadelphia 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:13.040 natives they better go Jalen Hurts. I mean, do you 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:15.000 really think there's a chance to go back to Carson 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:18.280 this year. Well, it depends on how he plays or 0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:22.080 if he gets injured. But if I'm Doug Peterson and 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:25.440 what I saw yesterday against the Saints, I want to 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:28.160 ride the momentum. I just want to see what is there. 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:30.480 In my point when I said I don't know how 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:35.280 many weeks ago sid Carson Wentz down because he's losing 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:38.880 confidence and you know, there's a whole lot going on 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:41.319 here and probably a whole lot more going on behind 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:42.640 the scenes. But I also want to know what do 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:44.600 I have in Jalen Hurts. I spent a second round 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:49.120 draft pick on Jalen Hurts. What do I have? That's all? Now, 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:53.640 you're gonna be trading Carson Wentz maybe in the offseason, maybe, 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:57.240 but you know, in the meantime, I want to know 0:08:57.360 --> 0:09:01.720 if I'm trading him, the person who is succeeding him 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:04.680 is real, Like this is not just a one off 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:08.800 or a couple of games. Is Jalen Hurts and every week, 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:12.200 weekend and week out starter in the NFL? And That's 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:15.160 what I'd be trying to figure out while in the 0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:20.760 process maybe winning the division. So I gotta figure this 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:24.240 out if I'm Doug Peterson and management of what they're 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:27.320 going to do with what happens to Jalen Hurts. The 0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:30.520 next couple of weeks, we'll probably dictate what happens to 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:34.439 Carson Wentz. But I'm not going back to Carson Wentz, 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:38.600 not unless I absolutely positively have to yes the club. 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:40.880 I let's jump ahead to this poll question where it's 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:43.640 Carson Wentz week one. Next year, I'll give you ESPN 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:47.880 top four landing spots and Niners, the Broncos, the Patriots, 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:54.200 the Colts or the Eagles. Cults is being number one? Yeah, 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:56.560 I understand the Colds. I brought that up weeks ago 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:59.840 with Frank Reik and reuniting with him. And you know, 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:03.240 but is Philip Rivers gonna want to play another season? 0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:05.360 Will they want to have him back for another season? 0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:07.640 And you want to? I mean, you don't want to 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:10.240 get up give up much for Carson Wentz at least 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:12.599 it doesn't feel like that. What are you going to 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:15.880 give a late first or a couple of second round picks? 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:20.120 Maybe for him, you're gonna do Philadelphia sort of a favor, 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:26.120 taking that salary off their hands. But I'll go I'll 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:29.080 go Colts, just because I said that weeks ago that 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:31.040 that's where I thought he would end up reunited with 0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:34.520 Frank Reich. What else do you have? Okay, it's Monday, 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:38.000 and that means it's NFL MVP question time. There was 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:41.079 chatter last night. You couldn't avoid hearing it. I'll give 0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:46.400 you Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers, and Josh Allen back in 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:50.320 the conversation. I will commend Josh Allen because I've been 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:53.679 critical Josh Allen when he started his career. It felt 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:57.160 like he was athletic but had no clue how to 0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:59.960 play quarterback. And he's come up with some big wins. 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:03.120 That's a big win against that Pittsburgh team. But I'm 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:09.240 not surprised about Buffalo. I'm surprised about the Steelers. You 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:11.680 know what I see with Buffalo, But I think Buffalo 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:13.760 understands who they are. I don't know if the Steelers 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:16.319 know who they are right now, because that's a good defense. 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:20.040 They don't run the football, and I'm not quite sure 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:23.360 about Ben Roethlisberger. And I said at the beginning of 0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:26.079 the year, I found them the most fascinating team, but 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:32.079 it all hinged on Ben Roethlisberger. They just I mean, 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:36.600 they're not potent. That offense looks soft. It just doesn't. 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:41.480 There's no oomph there. And you know, they got receivers 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:44.360 who can't hang on to the football, like like at 0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:49.839 an alarming rate, cannot hold onto the football, no running game, 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:53.880 and it just feels like if you put any defense 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:55.840 out there for an extended period of time, they're going 0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:59.520 to be taking advantage of. And Josh Allen completion percentage, like, 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:03.199 he looks sharper out there, and he's got good receivers 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:07.080 to fon Diggs, and you know, Buffalo is obviously going 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:11.800 to be a tough out. But I got questions about Pittsburgh. 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:16.240 I really do, because right now they are they're wounded. 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:20.960 They've had some bad wins. They obviously had bad losses, 0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:23.360 but they've won a couple of games and you go there, 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:26.839 I didn't look good at all. But yeah, I if 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:30.600 you're gonna give the MVP this week, this Monday, I'd 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:33.680 give it to Aaron Rodgers just because Mahomes didn't look good. 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:37.560 But Kansas City showed you that even if Mahomes doesn't 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:40.000 play well, which should be scary for the rest of 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:44.160 the NFL. They can still win a game against Miami 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:47.600 that's a playoff caliber team and a very good defense, 0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:53.440 and they did a number on Patrick Mahomes. What else 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:56.360 do you have me? Club? Okay, I'll let you do 0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:58.560 the choices, but I want to ask if there's anyone 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:01.480 outside the final four in college football who have a 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:04.320 real chance at getting into the Final four with like 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:09.400 Texas A and M, Cincinnati, Iowa State, Coastal Carolina, Indiana, 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:12.600 is there a chance? Is there a fifteam that's even 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:14.559 worth putting in a poll? Or is there going to 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:19.760 be those four teams? Oh? I guess Texas A and 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:23.920 M because they're five, but I don't I don't know 0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:26.320 if people look at them and go got to get 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:28.440 them in or it'd be a travesty if they don't 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:32.280 get in. Because if this plays out where Alabama wins, 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:38.840 Clemson wins, I think only if Clemson would blow out 0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:41.640 Notre Dame, but then I'd be one loss for Notre 0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:46.800 Dame and you'd already beaten Clemson. It feels like Notre Dame, Clemson, 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:50.400 and Alabama are going to be in And then what 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:52.800 kind of performance is Ohio State going to have against 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:56.719 Northwestern if they if they play a close game, they 0:13:56.800 --> 0:14:02.640 barely win, I guess, but I just Coastal Carolina. Nice 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:06.000 parting gifts. We keep trying to prop up Iowa State. 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:10.720 They played well late in the season. Okay, Cincinnati, nice 0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:14.199 parting gifts for you. It doesn't feel like there's that 0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:16.559 team where you go, we've got to have them in 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:19.360 unless it's you know, Texas, A and M. What else 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:22.440 do you have? Did you mention USC in there by 0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:24.840 the way? Oh god, you know if that day in 0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:27.800 the picture. No, if this was Washington State that was 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:30.880 five and zero, would we be saying, wow, what about 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:34.920 Washington State? I mean, USC, all right, you beat UCLA. 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:37.000 I don't think they're that good. I think they have 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:42.040 some talent. It's USC. There's pedigree there. But if this 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:45.080 was another team in the Pac twelve, I don't know 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:48.160 if we'd give them a second look. But it's USC. 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:52.800 You know, maybe they end up top ten team, but 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:56.280 I don't think they're a final four by any stretch 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:59.640 of the imagination. Age seven seven three D P show 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:02.240 email addressed Pa dan Patrick dot com. Best and worst 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:04.320 of the weekend is we always do your phone calls? 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:06.760 What you liked? You didn't like. Peter King will join 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:10.120 us coming up and a little bit later on South 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:14.800 Palantonio covers the Eagles will get South Pale's thoughts as well. 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:19.640 We'll hear from John Gruden. Who else? Dan Mullen, the 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:25.760 Florida head coach. Oh, and I know Patrick Mahomes. And 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:29.360 by the way, I mentioned the Pittsburgh Steelers and Ben Roethlisberger. 0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:32.520 Here's Roethlisberger after the lost last night. We've lost two 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:35.840 were basics diversity, but we're not when I hit the 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:39.240 panic button, you know, offensively, we're not very good. And 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:41.280 right now when I played good football in a surf 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:44.120 of meat. We all need to look in the mirror 0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:47.200 and like I said, it starts with me and understand 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:49.320 that that we all need to be better. You know, 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:50.720 I think that we will be. I think this is 0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:52.760 a team that's got a lot of resilience, but that 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:56.520 is resilient and understands what it takes to win football 0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:59.800 games and understands what time of year it is and 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:04.200 that the way we're playing right now it's unstoppable. Wouldn't 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:05.800 it be great if he says, hey, we're hitting the 0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:08.800 panic button. You know, there's certain comments where you go 0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:11.480 if it was if it was flipped, then it would 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:14.560 be great. Hey, we are I have no idea what 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:16.440 we're doing. We're hitting the panic button. I don't know 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:19.680 about you guys, but I'm freaking out right now. Man, 0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:23.240 we're in trouble. That would be great. You know when 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:26.640 you hear coach goes in or quarterback goes in and 0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:28.920 we're not getting the panic button here, it'd be great 0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:32.000 if you heard to the contrary. Yeah, McLevin. When Ben 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:34.440 says it's all it starts with me. I speak Ben, 0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:36.640 and that means it's not me at all, it's you. 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:39.280 You know Ben. Do you think he means that's right, 0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:44.000 it's my receiver. Deontay Johnson hang on the ball. How 0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:50.280 many drops does he have? He's got like twelve drop twelve? Eric, 0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:53.920 he brought's not far behind by the way. Yeah, and 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:58.480 you know, this kid has all the makings. He could 0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:02.040 be really good. But if you don't catch the football, 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:07.320 you're not gonna be really good. Big starting point. Yeah, 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:09.840 it's like, man, he is really talented. He can get 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:13.040 open and he's got great speed and uh, well, what's 0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:15.360 the problem. Well, he doesn't hang on the football. That's 0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:18.320 a problem. Yeah, McLean. They showed a lot of highlights 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:21.280 of t J. Watt getting double teamed that unlike Aaron Donald. 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:23.480 He stopped after he got double team like he couldn't 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:25.880 do anything. Did. He kind of cost himself in that 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:29.920 defensive player of the Year contest. Ho ho ho. Aaron 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:32.439 Donald is the defensive player of the Year, whether he 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:35.919 wins it or not. He I think he'll join Lawrence 0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:39.080 Taylor and JJ Watt as three time winners here, and 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:44.080 he should. T J. Watt is very good, but Aaron 0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:49.480 Donald disrupts everything. T J. Watt, you know, can get 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:52.119 to the quarterback. You've got to account for him. Aaron 0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:54.960 Donald is the defensive player of the year, absolutely in 0:17:55.040 --> 0:17:59.879 my opinion, because it's rare when somebody disrupts everything you do. 0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:04.600 T J. Watt doesn't disrupt everything you do. Aaron Donald 0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:07.280 does all right. Phone call is always welcome. We'll settle 0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:11.520 on a poll question and the Cleveland Indians no longer 0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:14.960 known as the Cleveland Indians. We'll talk to Terry Pluto, 0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:18.239 the great columnist for the Cleveland Plane Dealer on the 0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:23.200 switch and are they going to stay the tribe or 0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:27.600 are they gonna go with cultural differences completely away from that. 0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:32.320 But Cleveland is changing its nickname. All right, take a 0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:34.399 break here, Peter King will join us on loan from 0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:38.159 the Monday Morning Quarterback And uh no, it's football mourning 0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:42.120 in America.

Now I'm 0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:47.960 like worried that I've got something to me see if 0:18:47.960 --> 0:18:50.040 you did? I really hope maybe if you had turned 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:54.560 down the TV earlier. Yeah. When I yelled over, I said, Todd, 0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:58.359 what what's Peter King? Is he with football mourning? And 0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:00.639 then I didn't hear anything on you, so he just 0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:05.320 assumed the Good Morning Football column? Or yes, we'll look 0:19:05.359 --> 0:19:07.239 it up as we go along. We usually do. Why 0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:10.800 don't you apologize to Peter when he comes? Okay, you're 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:13.520 gonna get get yelled at all day to day. I really, yeah, 0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:17.160 I think you're my Charlie Brown today, I'm Lucy.

Okay, I thought that was 0:21:52.280 --> 0:21:55.120 the funniest thing of the weekend when Doug Peterson said 0:21:55.160 --> 0:21:58.400 after the game and again this morning on wip OH, 0:21:58.440 --> 0:22:01.320 I really haven't decided. I haven't made up my mind. 0:22:01.800 --> 0:22:04.840 Do let me tell you something. You're not going You're 0:22:04.880 --> 0:22:08.199 not going to be allowed on the team plane to 0:22:08.359 --> 0:22:13.280 Phoenix on Saturday if you say that Carson Wentz is 0:22:13.280 --> 0:22:17.400 your quarterback Sunday in Glendale, Arizona, here is Doug Peterson 0:22:17.560 --> 0:22:20.600 and he won't commit to who his starter is. Is 0:22:21.320 --> 0:22:24.159 your starter next week? And if so, what will a 0:22:24.240 --> 0:22:26.280 challenge be? You know, now that more tape is out 0:22:26.320 --> 0:22:29.879 on him, I'm gonna enjoy this one. I'm gonna go 0:22:29.920 --> 0:22:33.080 home and relax and be with my family tonight and 0:22:33.160 --> 0:22:39.399 enjoy this win and get ready for the week. You know, 0:22:39.480 --> 0:22:42.199 you have all this momentum, You're feeling good. I don't know. 0:22:42.280 --> 0:22:45.119 Maybe this is gamesmanship Pete. Maybe he doesn't want to 0:22:45.200 --> 0:22:47.560 let Arizona know that they might have to get ready 0:22:47.600 --> 0:22:52.600 for a running quarterback. Dan Arizona knows. Arizona knows Jalen 0:22:52.680 --> 0:22:56.199 Hurts is playing. It's just that everybody in the Philadelphia 0:22:56.200 --> 0:22:59.920 Eagles organization, players, coaches are walking on eggshells with cars 0:23:00.000 --> 0:23:03.359 and Wentz. I mean, seriously, if I'm Carson Wentz today, 0:23:04.040 --> 0:23:06.000 you can't go in the facility. But I'll do a 0:23:06.000 --> 0:23:10.400 phone call with because Monday and Tuesday facilities are closed 0:23:10.640 --> 0:23:13.080 around the league. But I do a phone call with 0:23:14.359 --> 0:23:18.280 Doug Peterson and said, you know, stop being maniacally concerned 0:23:18.280 --> 0:23:20.840
