Speaker 1: our TV partner Peacock McLevin will have a play of

10

Speaker 1: the day. We got a stat of the day, and

Speaker 1: we got a poll question as well. All of that

12
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: coming up eight seven seven three d P Show Email

13
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: address DP at dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle a

14
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: DPS show. I've been doing this a long time. I've

15
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: been doing this over three decades, and we probably had

16
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: a four or five day stretch that I never thought

17
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: would be happening. You had coaches fired, GMS fired, You

18
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: had a guy playing quarterback who hadn't played quarterback and

19
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: just pulled off a practice squad. You got a game moved,

20
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: You got a team in San Francisco that doesn't have

21
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: a home anymore Other than that, just another regular weekend,

22
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: right and If you're looking for one game that encapsulates

23
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: all the problems in the NFL with COVID, looked no

24
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: further than the Saints and Broncos on Sunday after Jeff

25
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: Driscoll tested positive and each of the quarterbacks and the

26
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: rosters were with him without mask on, and Denver was

27
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: left without a quarterback, so they turned to a practice

28
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: squad receiver Kendall Hilton. He played that position in college,

29
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: and he did his best. He didn't get one snap

30
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: under center during the week, and they really didn't have

31
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: a chance. They were blown out thirty one to three,

32
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: and there's plenty of blame to go around. Denver head

33
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: coach Vic Fangio said his quarterbacks were reckless. Others pointed

34
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: to the NFL they pushed back other games, but they

35
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: didn't in this case. They really seemed determined to punish

36
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: the Broncos and they're really determined to get this season

37
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: in on time. But the reality of the coronavirus might

38
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,559
Speaker 1: be it's going to get in the way. Sunday's game

39
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: was a mess, but you get the feeling that's not

40
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: the last time the league has to make a decision

41
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 1: that no one is happy with. And when I'm watching

42
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 1: this game, I love this tweet that was sent out.

43
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 1: It was Kevin Clark and he tweets out the idea

44
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: of a game without quarterbacks. It's more fun than an

45
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: actual game without quarterbacks. I'd love to see every team

46
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: do this, every team, like one Sunday out of the year,

47
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 1: every team has to play without a quarterback, a designated

48
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 1: quarterback on their roster. I don't know what it'll look like,

49
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: but yesterday with the Broncos, that was about as embarrassing

50
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: as it can get. Now, Denver did the best that

51
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: they could, but it felt like the NFL says, Oh,

52
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: you're not going to wear your mask in a room

53
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: with all the quarterbacks. Then you're going to basically be

54
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: without quarterbacks here. Then you got the Ravens situation. Who knows.

55
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: I think they're playing tomorrow, but I don't know. And

56
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 1: then they were going to play on Thursday, but they're

57
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 1: not playing on Thursday. It's a mess, and we're getting

58
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: right up to the line. We're getting right up to

59
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: that line where the NFL is going to have to

60
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: add another playoff team and another week of games. I

61
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: thought this was going to be the week where they

62
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: just said, Hey, you know what, we can't get these

63
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: games in the competitive balances at stake, And really that's

64
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: the key. I don't want you to go full speed

65
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: ahead like baseball did. Hey, we don't care how many

66
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: games you play, Let's just get to the postseason. The

67
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: NFL has to put out something that resembles NFL football,

68
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: and they didn't do that. If you're a warm body,

69
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: you're playing for the Baltimore Ravens tomorrow. That's the feeling

70
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: I get. Maybe even if you're not that warm, you're

71
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,119
Speaker 1: still going to be playing for the Ravens, And to me,

72
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: that's an embarrassment for the NFL. There were a couple

73
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: of games that stood out. That Denver game certainly did.

74
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: Forty nine ers are now in a gym. That's a

75
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: horrible or, I should say the Rams. A horrible loss.

76
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: For the Rams, you gotta win those games. Where's your offense? There?

77
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: They had had offense and then they had no offense yesterday.

78
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes beats Tom Brady In yesterday's loss. Tampa dropped

79
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: to one in five this season against quarterbacks who have

80
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: started Super Bowls. They lost to Drew Brees twice and

81
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,239
Speaker 1: now they lost to Mahomes, Nick Foles, and Jared Goff.

82
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: They did defeat Aaron Rodgers against all the other quarterbacks.

83
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: They're six and zero. They still have to face Matt

84
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: Ryan though again. Brady has thrown eleven interceptions this season,

85
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: including nine at home. That ties for the most picks

86
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 1: he's had at home in any season. You go back

87
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 1: to two thousand and six when he had nine. Kansas

88
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: City kept them in the game as great as Mahomes

89
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: is and Tyreek Hill. By the way, I know Bruce

90
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: arians has for gotten more football than I know, but

91
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: at some point I probably don't do man demand coverage

92
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: on Tyreek Hill. I mean, call me crazy, but after

93
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: he's got I don't know, two hundred receiving yards, I go,

94
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 1: maybe we don't. We don't cover him with one guy

95
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: straight up there. But they did, but they stayed in

96
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 1: the game. You got Seahawks and Eagles tonight. I can't

97
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: wait for the headline tomorrow because it's either going to

98
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: be Carson Wentz did something really good, Carson Runs did

99
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: something bad, Jalen Hurts did something really good, Jalen Hurts

100
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: did something really bad. And then you throw in Russell

101
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: Wilson Kenny add to what has been a MVP like season.

102
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: Any objections to what I said a couple of weeks ago.

103
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is the MVP and right now it's not

104
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: even close. But he's underrated anybody, Yeah, exactly. You saw

105
00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: that yesterday. It's incredible what he's done. I don't know

106
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: if the team is great, but he is, and Tyrick

107
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: Hill is great. You still have Kelsey in there. The

108
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: defense is bendable, but it doesn't look like it's breakable,

109
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: and that offense is good enough to get you. They're

110
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: up seventeen nothing. Now I make Brady one dimensional. That

111
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 1: completely changed the complexion of this. And I don't put

112
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: all of this on Brady. I don't know what game

113
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: Tony Romo was watching at times, because it felt like

114
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: this was what I think happened. Now. I don't have

115
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: any information, but this is just me knowing what happens

116
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 1: usually during the week. Tony Romo probably got on a

117
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: zoom call Tom Brady and they probably started chatting a

118
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: little bit, as quarterbacks do, and then Tom probably said something,

119
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 1: and then Tony said something, and man, that offense and

120
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: I don't know, is that the offense you ran in

121
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: New England certainly looks different. They asking you to do

122
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: different things, and then all of a sudden, Tom probably

123
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: unloaded on him a little bit, and therefore it felt

124
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 1: like Tony Romo was going out of his way to

125
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: say this isn't on Tom Brady. Well, Tom Brady picked

126
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: Bruce Arians. Maybe he didn't have a lot to pick

127
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: from the Bears and the Chargers and Tampa, but he

128
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: chose this. It's on him, that personality, that style, all

129
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: of those weapons, that's on him. But it feels like

130
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of a fracture there, just a

131
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: little bit, or at least there's some tremors there. But hey,

132
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: by the way, Brady did congratulate Patrick Mallomes after the game,

133
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: so there is progress there. Yes, Pauli Romo was crushing

134
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: the Bucks in the first half, but then at the

135
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: end of the game goes, oh, these two teams are

136
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: going to play again, and Nance was like, what was that, Tom?

137
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: They're not playing again this year. Tampa's going to be

138
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: on the road for the playoffs, the entire playoffs, Kansas City.

139
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: They might be on the road for a game if

140
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: they end up in Pittsburgh, but Tampa the way they're playing.

141
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: I don't see that happening. Peter King will join us,

142
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: coming up a little bit. We'll check in with the

00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: there's about ten of them, possibly the Jets. Is it

156
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: looking like they'll have Trevor Lawrence? Is that going to

157
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: be the spot? You know what? There are people actually

158
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: think the Jets have a little bit more than what

159
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,719
Speaker 1: they show that it's not. You open up the cover

160
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: and there's nothing in there that it feels like there's

161
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: a little more there. I get nervous with the front

162
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: office and the ownership part of that. If I bring

163
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: somebody in and they get Trevor Lawrence, are they going

164
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: to get full autonomy there? Or how much autonomy do

165
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: they get? But I don't know if you can get

166
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: a new owner, it doesn't seem like that it's going

167
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: to happen. When else mcclevin, Wait, are you saying that

168
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 1: they are tanking basically like they have more talent than

169
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: they're showing. No, I don't right now. It might be

170
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: systemic where it's just that malaise that's over a franchise

171
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: and it's been there for a long time, But I

172
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: don't think it's I think they're better than a winless team.

173
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: Let me put it that way. That doesn't mean that they're,

174
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: you know, that much better than Jacksonville and they have

175
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: one win. But from what I'm told that they're NFL

176
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: personal people who look at the Jets and say it's

177
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: not as dire as you think. They seem to be pathetic,

178
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: but they're not. The other teams on that list were

179
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: the Jags. The Falcons may or may not be opened

180
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: now because Raheemos is doing nice job. The Lions just

181
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: opened and the Texans are still open. Is there like

182
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: a plumb job out of that group? Um? You know,

183
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: once Bill O'Brien was shown the door, the Texans have

184
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: played pretty well. I just don't like, you know, some

185
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: salary cap issues there. Uh. You know, Deshaun Watson has

186
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: played pretty well. JJ wants not going to be there

187
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: next year, but I you know, they traded away DeAndre Hopkins.

188
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: They don't have much the show for that. Are you

189
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: sold on Will Fuller? I don't know. It feels like

190
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: Eric bi enemy is going to get an opportunity to

191
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: pick where he wants to go. But you know, if

192
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: Atlanta acts like I think Atlanta is going to, and

193
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: that is they're gonna reel off like four or five

194
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: in a row and probably beat Tampa one of these

195
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: two games, then you know, maybe maybe Raheem Morris keeps

196
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: that job. I don't know. But Jacksonville, if you don't

197
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: get the number one pick, you get the number two pick,

198
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: And are you sold on Justin Fields after what you

199
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: saw a couple of weeks ago. By the way, I

200
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 1: have some information on the Big ten in Ohio State,

201
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: and it's not good news. For Ohio State. I have

202
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 1: that for you, have that for you coming up in

203
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: a little bit. I forgot all about it. I got

204
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: this text from my college football insider and he laid

205
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: it out in pretty stark terms here. Yeah, Paul, is

206
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: this news gonna make Northwestern really upset? If you know

207
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: what I mean that they could have had an easier path.

208
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe terrible loss by Northwestern, terrible loss, terrible.

209
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 1: But you're gonna have openings here you're in college football.

210
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: I mean, when you think about it, Vandy, South Carolina,

211
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: their jobs are open. Is Texas opens, Michigan open, his

212
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: Auburn open, his Tennessee open. Gonna have a lot of

213
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 1: marquee openings here in college football. Yeah, some mclovin. But

214
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: I keep asking, you know, don't they get a pass

215
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: this year because of everything that's going on? Can you

216
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: really in college fire your coach despite the circumstances. I

217
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: guess it depends on how long you've been there. And

218
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: do you see a light at the end of the tunnel. Yeah,

219
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: if you say, Okay, So, what's the excuse with Michigan,

220
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: with COVID's Penn what's Penn State's excuse? Well, they've lost

221
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: Micah Hyde, right, I don't think their best player and

222
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: their second best player, the running back Michael Parsons. Michael Parsons, sorry,

223
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: and their second best player, the running back got journey

224
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: part condition. Yeah, that's pretty big. I mean, that's a

225
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: good excuse. Okay, you're still Penn State. James Franklin is

226
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 1: a successful coach, he's been there for a few years.

227
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: What's Jim Harball's excuse he doesn't have a quarterback? What

228
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,199
Speaker 1: did COVID have to do with that? These are all

229
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 1: his players. That has nothing to do with this. I

230
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 1: think if you're a coach and you're not playing well,

231
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: you're going to lean on COVID. But you know the coach,

232
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: the coach Ald Coastal Carolina, is he leaning on this?

233
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: By you? You know, run down the list of all

234
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: these Cincinnati how they somehow had a great season. Are

235
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: they leaning on COVID? So if you're going to lean

236
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: on it when you're losing, then you get extra credit

237
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 1: when you win with COVID. But now, I think the

238
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: Big ten's got some issues here coming up. What else

239
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: do you have in CLUBN Are you in favor of

240
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: the NFL expanding to sixteen playoff teams. Now, now, as

241
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: I understand, you said the rules if there's a week

242
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: eighteen that they'll add an extra playoff team. I asked,

243
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: why not go for it now because it's such an

244
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 1: unusual season anyway, and get a couple more, give more

245
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: teams a chance. Well, I would do it, but I

246
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 1: would have probably postponed this this week. I would have

247
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: tried to give these teams a chance to hit the

248
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: reset button and get as many teams as healthy as possible.

249
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: Are you know, three quarters of the way through this

250
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: season and at some point we knew that this was

251
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: going to be an issue. It happened sooner than I

252
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: thought it was. It happened sooner than a source said

253
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 1: with the NFL that it was going to happen. And

254
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 1: now now it gets really dicey here. But I think

255
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: you're going to see the NFL probably out a week

256
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: eighteen here and that way they can allow these teams

257
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: to exhale a little bit, because after what we saw

258
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: this weekend, I think they needed to do it. Yeah, seton,

259
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: but is that the kind of thing, like, can you

260
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: expand the playoffs in the NFL for just one season

261
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: and then go back the next year to normal. Usually

262
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: not I don't. I don't think that you would be

263
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: able to. Yeah, it feels like, you know, just like

264
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: baseball when they said, hey, we're going to sixteen teams

265
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: and then rarely do you go and then you you

266
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: backtrack a little bit, and it feels like the NFL.

267
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: You didn't get any fans in the stands Now I

268
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: get an extra round of playoffs or extra teams in there,

269
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: extra revenue in there, And it feels like just like

270
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: college football, if college football could ever get their act

271
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: together and not move at a snails pace, then they

272
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: probably could have been able to do their you know,

273
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: twelve or eighteen playoffs, This would have been the year

274
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: to do it. Yeah. Point, do you think the commissioner

275
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: ego plays in at all that Roger Goodell and his

276
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: guys want to play as tight and unchanged of a

277
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: season as they can and say, like, look what we

278
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: did were the NFL. We didn't bubble, we didn't switch

279
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: things around by months, we didn't take a break any

280
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: chances ego involved. Well, I'm sure because it's the NFL,

281
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: but you can also that ego can come back and

282
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: bite you where it's embarrassing what you're trying to do

283
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: and force this in and I got that feeling with

284
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: the NFL this past weekend. You know, Denver may have

285
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: brought this on itself, but that game should not have

286
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: been played. You know, Baltimore, we're gonna move it, and

287
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: then we're gonna move it now. We're gonna play Tuesday.

288
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: That shouldn't that shouldn't be played, in my opinion, should

289
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: not be played. But the NFL wants to have this

290
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: on time, and they everything that they've done this year,

291
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: we're going to have everything as scheduled. Might not look

292
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: the same, everything's going to be scheduled, and that's what

293
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: they want to do. But I think we're going to

294
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: get to the point of breaking point where we're going

295
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: to have to have an eighteen eighteen week added to

296
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: the schedule. All right, we'll take a break. Peter King

297
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: will join us coming up. We'll talk to him about

298
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: some of these issues that we saw. Was the NFL

299
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: punishing the Broncos. Seahawks Eagles is a big game tonight,

300
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: and I think Jalen Hurts is going to play a

301
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: whole lot more than Doug Peterson is letting on Ravens

302
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: Steelers is supposed to be on Tuesday. We'll recap all

303
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: of that. Your phone calls are welcome, best and worst

304
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: to the weekend eighteen after the hour, just getting started

305
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: on this Monday, Dan and the Dann that's Dan Patrick

341
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: Football Morning in America. Columnists NBC Sports dot com Pete

342
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 1: joins us. Now. Pete explained the Denver Broncos situation and

343
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: why this game was played well because on October thirteenth,

344
00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 1: Roger Goodell sent an email or to send I guess

345
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: you might call it a sort of a manifest about

346
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 1: the way he wanted the rest of the NFL season

347
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 1: to go. And he said in that document very clearly

348
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 1: that although many of us in the media had speculated,

349
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of people in the league who

350
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 1: wanted it this way, we had speculated that if a

351
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: position group gets knocked out and they're going to postpone

352
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: the game and they'll make it up in week eighteen,

353
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: And Roger Goodell sent out this memo that said, no,

354
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: this is why you have been handed a sixteen person

355
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: practice squad. You figure a way to if you get

356
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 1: your offensive line wiped out, you figure a way to

357
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: get an offensive line to be ready to play. And

358
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: the same thing happened with Denver. You know, Bill Polian,

359
00:19:54,560 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: who's an advisor to Goodell this year, told me yesterday essentially, hey,

360
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: Bruce arians has one of his quarterbacks set apart from

361
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: all the other quarterbacks so that if they test positive,

362
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: he'll always have one, and he said the Bronchos chose

363
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: not to do that. If he was saying everything that

364
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: he wanted to say, he would have said dumb moved

365
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:23,479
Speaker 1: by the Broncos. But in reality, Dan, it kind of was.

366
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 1: So teams have been on notice for six weeks that

367
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: if they get a position group wiped out, they're still

368
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: going to have to play. And Dan, this all goes

369
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 1: back to something that Goodell told me right around Labor Day,

370
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 1: and that is there is no guarantee that the disease,

371
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: that the virus is going to get any better anytime soon,

372
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: and we're seeing that right now. It's getting worse every

373
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: week rather than getting better. So the NFL's view is

374
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: we would rather see a compromised football game then push

375
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: the season back a week and risk not being able

376
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: to finish the season. But what do you think it's

377
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 1: going to take for the commissioner to have that add

378
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: that extra week and maybe that extra playoff team in

379
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: each conference. What it would take, I believe, is an

380
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: outbreak such as Baltimore's, but an outbreak such as Baltimore's

381
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 1: that shows no signs of flagging. So, in other words,

382
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: you know, the outbreak in Baltimore is now getting less.

383
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: There were two more players added to its Saturday one

384
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 1: on Sunday, and the Ravens have been told flat out

385
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: by Alan Sills and the people inside the NFL, Look,

386
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: we see this going away, you know, we think we

387
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: have this virus contained now. If they were in the

388
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 1: middle of it and every day they're getting eight or

389
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: ten more people put on the list, that is when

390
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 1: I believe the NFL would say we got to create

391
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:07,360
Speaker 1: a week eighteen if and only if that the games

392
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: have some playoffs significance. If Jacksonville and the Jets, I

393
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 1: don't even know if they're playing, but if Jacksonville and

394
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: the Jets had a game cancel, our game postponed, they

395
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: wouldn't make up the game. Talking to Peter King as

396
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: Colum must read Football Morning in America, I'm trying to

397
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: figure out. I feel like I know the Kansas City Chiefs.

398
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 1: I don't know the Tampa Bay Buccaneers like I figured

399
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: the Kansas like. I'm just not quite sure. So let

400
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 1: me start with the Buccaneers. Where do you stand with them?

401
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: Of where they are now? And maybe bigger picture here,

402
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: I mean, the incredible thing about the Bucks is that

403
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,479
Speaker 1: there have been times this year where Brady has been

404
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 1: in total concert with the play calling and his receivers.

405
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 1: I can think of three or four games where he's

406
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: looked absolutely marvelous. And then there are times when you

407
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 1: know the ball is falling five yards in front of

408
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: his receivers and you're saying, what just happened. I think

409
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: it has something to do with two things, Dan. Number One,

410
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is a guy who loves to throw the football.

411
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: I'm talking about during the week in practice, in the offseason,

412
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: even at the age of forty three, he is throwing

413
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: pain free, and you know, because he's got his mechanics

414
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: worked on with Tom House, and he's throwing the ball

415
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: and he's so comfortable with it that when he was

416
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,199
Speaker 1: in New England, you know, he would throw maybe not

417
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 1: year round, but close to it, and that would allow

418
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: him to get, you know, form such a great bond

419
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: with his receivers. The year that Chris Hogan came in,

420
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 1: for instance, as a free agent, and then in the

421
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: Super Bowl comeback against Atlanta, that was his big season.

422
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 1: I remember saying to Brady after the season, how did

423
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: you get in such great chemistry with Chris Hogan and

424
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: with Malcolm Mitchell, that guy who had the one year

425
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: run with the Patriots, How don't you And he said,

426
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,880
Speaker 1: you know, one hundred and twenty two practices. He knew

427
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: how many practices he had, and so in the offseason

428
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 1: that's part of his time with his receivers. And although

429
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: they did some stuff off the field, it wasn't organized

430
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,640
Speaker 1: and Arians and left which weren't there. So I think

431
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: that's part of it. And I think the other part

432
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 1: of it is too that defenses know exactly how to

433
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,239
Speaker 1: play Tom Brady right now, and what they're doing is

434
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: they're taking advantage of the fact that Arians loves to

435
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: throw the ball deep and so he doesn't really get

436
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: the amount of protection that some teams would give, for instance,

437
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 1: keeping in a second tight end to help Brady like

438
00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: a sixth offensive lineman. In my opinion, that's what they

439
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 1: should do more of right now to help Brady have

440
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: a chance to be more of Brady this year. But

441
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 1: you're right, I really from week to week it's hard

442
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,679
Speaker 1: to know what to expect from them. Yeah, I'm watching

443
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: yesterday and Tony Romo went out of his way to

444
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 1: basically say, I'm not putting this on Tom Brady. I'm

445
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 1: putting this on Bruce Arians and this offensive game plan.

446
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: Tom Brady knew what he was signing up for. He

447
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: knew what he was signing up for Bruce Arians. He

448
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: knew what he was signing up with his offensive philosophy. Right, well,

449
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:35,239
Speaker 1: he did. But let's just be let's be honest about this.

450
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,719
Speaker 1: Part of this was about a lifestyle change and the

451
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 1: fact that, as he told me in the summer, he said,

452
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: you know, this is my thirtieth year in football and

453
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 1: it's the first season I'm ever entering with an offensive

454
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: head coach. His high school, college and professional head coaches

455
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: have all been defensive guys. So that was part of it.

456
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: And the second part is Dan tell me how many

457
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: options he had. You know, I think that he wishes

458
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis cults were interested because that I think he

459
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 1: would have loved to have worked with Frank Reik, But

460
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: the cults weren't interested. And so, you know, I think

461
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: you have to look at your situation and what options

462
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 1: you have, and look, I think that this has a

463
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: chance to turn out. Okay. It maybe not super Bowl okay,

464
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: but better than it looks right now. Because I just

465
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 1: when you count out Tom Brady, you usually are disappointed.

466
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: Do you think Brady's better than Philip Rivers today right now?

467
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 1: I do? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was surprised. I know

468
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 1: Tom reached out to the Colts, at least I was

469
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: told that, and the Colts basically they had already made

470
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: up their mind they were going with Philip Rivers. I

471
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 1: think that was easy, though, Dan, because of Frank Reich's

472
00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: history of Philip Rivers. If Carson went benchable, he should be,

473
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: you know, just financially, well, financially, it's gonna hurt if

474
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,919
Speaker 1: you put him on the bench, obviously, But you know, look,

475
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: it's almost like, you know, the Chicago Bears hoping against

476
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: hope week after week after week all of last year. Basically,

477
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 1: you know, oh geez, you know Trubisky is going to

478
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: come out of it early this year. Trubisky is going

479
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: to come out of it. And you know, at some

480
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: point you have to say, what's the best thing to

481
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: win the game this week? And in my opinion, I

482
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 1: think Doug Peterson it's long past time, it's two weeks

483
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: past time to consider playing Jalen Hurts. What are the

484
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 1: Niners going to do? I think they're going to argue

485
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: with the county in Santa Clara, and obviously you saw

486
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: last night they're extremely upset with them because instead of

487
00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: telling them what they were going to do, they issue

488
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: to press release. They're going to argue with them that, look,

489
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 1: we have done a great job in uh, you know,

490
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: in keeping our facility clean, blah blah blah blah blah.

491
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: But if they lose, you know, I've always thought that

492
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: the best place for them to go was was Arizona

493
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: because of the multiple places they could find to work

494
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 1: and the ready made NFL stadium. I have no idea

495
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: what the stadium in San Diego looks like right now, Dan,

496
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: but I think it makes more And I have no

497
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: idea what the Oakland Coliseum looks like right now. Could

498
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 1: the Oakland Coliseum be in shape to play a football

499
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: game that the that the forty nine ers need on Sunday?

500
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: They need to win a game, you know, the next

501
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: two weeks to stay in this playoff hunt and their

502
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 1: home the next two weeks, and I think it'll be difficult.

503
00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: That's why I think they got to go to already

504
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: made and fill stadium at Arizona makes the most sense

505
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: to me. Why did the Lions now realize they needed

506
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: to move on from Matt Patricia. They were, you know, look,

507
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: it's an inexperienced owner. She just got the team this year.

508
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: She doesn't know what she doesn't know, Sheila hamp Ford,

509
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: Sheila Ford, hamp excuse me, she just doesn't know. And

510
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: so she wanted to give her team a chance, as

511
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: big a chance as she could. And then when she

512
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 1: saw what happened the last two weeks, she said, this

513
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: is unfixable. And it probably was going to be unfixable anyway,

514
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: but I think she just said, I want to give this,

515
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: you know, my people as much of a chance as

516
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: they deserve. Where do you think is going to be

517
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: the best opening head coach? Wise Houston, I wrote this

518
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: morning that, you know, I think it would be so

519
00:29:56,440 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: cool to see Eric b Enemy graduate from Patrick Mahomes

520
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: to Deshaun Watson. Can you imagine you're an offensive coordinator

521
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: and then you're a head coach and the two quarterbacks

522
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: in the primary year career, Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson

523
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: be incredible And so I always will go for the

524
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 1: place that has the young quarterback under contract and a

525
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: clean slate. The other thing about Houston. You know, Houston

526
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 1: is a wounded animal right now. You know they need

527
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: to be totally rebuilt. So the fact that they don't

528
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 1: have a one or two this year Dan wouldn't really

529
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: bother me. I think that's an attractive job. Yeah, it

530
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: makes me nervous though, with no draft picks and salary

531
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: cap issues and J J. Watt, what do you do

532
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: with him? I love Deshaun Watson, but would the Jets

533
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: be a better opening with a clean slate with a

534
00:30:54,920 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: quarterback on a rookie contract? I mean, look at look

535
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: at the New York Jets. You know they choose they

536
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: choose Adam Gaze over Matt Rule. Um, and they could

537
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: have had Matt Rule. And I'm not saying Matt Rule

538
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: is Paul Brown, but he's better than Adam Gays. And

539
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: they were just comfortable with taking an NFL coach and

540
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: you know it's turned out to be a disaster. I

541
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: have I have faith in Joe Douglas. I think Joe

542
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: Douglas is really good. Um. But there are issues inside

543
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: that organization. There just are there always have been. There's

544
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: a reason why Bill Belichick resigned as the HC of

545
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: the nyj and UH you know, somebody has to take

546
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: that that franchise by the neck and shake it and

547
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: say this is my team. It's got to be a

548
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: very strong personality. And so to me, I don't think

549
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: it's hopeless with the Jets, but I do think that

550
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: I rather go to a place where I know the

551
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: quarterback is really good already. Hey, what do you think

552
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: of Jim Harbaugh coaching the Lions? I mean, first of all,

553
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 1: so much of getting a coach. I don't want to

554
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: say winning the press conference, but you know, I'm not

555
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: saying he got run out of town on a rail

556
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: in San Francisco, but they were happy to see him

557
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: go at the end. Jim Harbaugh is not for everybody.

558
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: He's very, very rough, and I wonder how he would

559
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 1: be in a losing atmosphere. Plus the other thing about

560
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: the Lions is what are you gonna do with Matthew Stafford?

561
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: And I look, I don't think Matthew Stafford is bad

562
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: in any way, shape or form, but Danny's been the

563
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: quarterback of that team for twelve years and they've never

564
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: won anything. And I'm not saying I understand how quarterback

565
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: wins isn't a stat I get it, but can you

566
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,479
Speaker 1: please lift your franchise once, just once? And he just

567
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: has never done it. So now what do you do.

568
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: Do you keep him at thirty five million next year

569
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: or do you get rid of him and take a

570
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: twenty five million dollar cap hit? And it's not going

571
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,719
Speaker 1: to be a horrible thing. If you draft a quarterback

572
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: to trade, you don't want to go out and sign

573
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: a free agent quarterback for money. You want to draft

574
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: a young quarterback and you want to get him ready

575
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: to go in your system. And that's probably what I

576
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: would do right now. If I were in the Detroit Lions,

577
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: I'd start fresh everywhere. And I was told prior to

578
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 1: the draft, I wondered if they kicked the tires on

579
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: Tuah in Detroit, and then I was told that the

580
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: front off it like everybody knew their jobs were at

581
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: stake this year if they didn't win, and if you

582
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: did take Tuah, you had your quarterback of the future,

583
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 1: but you might not be there in the you know,

584
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: in the future with him. Can you imagine right now

585
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: if they had to and not Jeff Okuda, who Hey,

586
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 1: look it's been eleven games, but he's been a total

587
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: non impact player and we'll see what the future brings.

588
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 1: And the only reason you draft Jeff Akuta is because

589
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: the head coach was at war with Darius Slay and

590
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,879
Speaker 1: they had to get rid of them. They couldn't resign him,

591
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 1: so you know that that era had to end, and obviously,

592
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: in retrospect, they should have taken to him. And I'm

593
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: kind of bummed out after talking to you, Pete. I

594
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,879
Speaker 1: don't know if we had any good news here, any

595
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: anything to any what about can we just can we

596
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,959
Speaker 1: just mentioned Patrick Mahomes and how watching him every week

597
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 1: is a gift the way Bulls fans used to have

598
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: with Michael Jordan. But it took us a little while

599
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 1: to take Mike for granted. I said, as a month ago,

600
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: I said, Patrick Mahomes is the MVP. If we want

601
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,280
Speaker 1: to do this week to week where we go who's

602
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 1: the MVP and who's in and who's Patrick Mahomes is Like,

603
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: it's not even close right now. I don't think what

604
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 1: he does. You know what, It's a six game award,

605
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: and I think after six weeks I easily I definitely

606
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 1: would have voted for Russell Wilson today, I would vote

607
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 1: for Mahomes and Rogers and Wilson would be second and

608
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: third in some order. But you're right, I you know what,

609
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 1: and I hope listen, I'm voting for the MVP every year.

610
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: I'm not saying, well, Mahomes won it three years in

611
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 1: a row. I'm not voting for him this year. I'm

612
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 1: voting for somebody else. That's not the way you do it.

613
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: Every single year. Is a snowflake, it's an individual entity.

614
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: It's different. And if he's the MVP, vote for him.

615
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 1: But look, you know, right now today, entering December, he

616
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:46,240
Speaker 1: is the MVP. Thirty touchdowns, two interceptions, and it doesn't

617
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: look difficult. That's the amazing thing. Everything comes easy to him. Dan.

618
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: Last week, they're in Vegas, okay, and they're down. You know,

619
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 1: they're down by four points at three different points to

620
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: the second half, and each time they go down four

621
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,280
Speaker 1: he comes back with a drive of over seventy yards

622
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: and you're right, it just does not look hard. It's

623
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 1: the amazing part of watching him play. It's a gift.

624
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 1: And look, Aaron Rodgers is unbelievable too. He's absolutely fantastic

625
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 1: and he is carrying that team as well as Mahomes

626
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: is with Kansas City. So sometimes you forget about Rogers,

627
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 1: but he's unbelievably good. Thank you, Pete, thanks for staying

628
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,760
Speaker 1: up and you can read the column Football Morning in America.

629
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,359
Speaker 1: Thank you again, Pete. All the best, Dan, Thank you

635
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to appear to be piling on here, Okay.

636
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,320
Speaker 1: I like Jared Gaul. I like him as a person.

637
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 1: I like him as a quarterback. I liked him in

638
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: college at Cow eight straight games for Jared Golf, scoring

639
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 1: thirty points or less, but three and three in his

640
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: last six starts the Rams, averaging just twenty one points

641
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: during that stretch. Jared Golf in wins versus losses this

642
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 1: season in seven wins, eleven touchdowns, four interceptions in four losses,

643
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 1: five touchdowns, six interceptions, a total of nine giveaways in

644
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 1: the wins, five total giveaways. That's the difference between a

645
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 1: great quarterback and a good quarterback. Being consistent and Mojoe,

646
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 1: you know, he's the Rams color analyst, so he's going

647
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: to stick up for his guy. I got that. But

648
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz was playing at an MVP level. He got

649
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 1: hurt in a game against the Rams. He was going

650
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,280
Speaker 1: to be the MVP that season. Has he been anywhere

651
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 1: near that? No, he is not. But at least he

652
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: gave me a higher ceiling. And that's what I'm looking

653
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 1: for all of these quarterbacks, a higher see how high

654
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 1: can you take that ceiling? And Carson Wentz has gone there,

655
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: but he may never get there again. And I would

656
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: not pay a running back. Alvin Kamara is not your

657
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: typical running back. Alvin Kamara is a wide receiver out

658
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: of the backfield. He's extremely valuable, and I would pay him.

659
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey gets too many touches, and I worry about that,

660
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 1: just durability. You know, he got a ton of touches

661
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: in college as well. Derrick Henry, you know he didn't

662
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 1: get all of the carries at Alabama, but you know

663
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:42,799
Speaker 1: he's a big guy who's still running hard. After you

664
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 1: get paid. Running backs get that first contract or the

665
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,479
Speaker 1: second contract, then they stop running. They don't run his heart.

666
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:53,879
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry still runs hard. Given who he is for

667
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 1: that team, I would have paid him because that is

668
00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 1: your philosophy, that is your offensive attack. But Zeke Elliott, no,

669
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 1: I'm not paying him that money. Uh, Monday Night Football.

670
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,439
Speaker 1: It's gonna be fun. And we'll see how long Carson wentz.

671
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:13,879
Speaker 1: You know, how short is that string attached to him

672
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 1: where they pull him over the sidelines and send in

673
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts. I'm guessing Jalen Hurts gets to play a

674
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 1: considerable amount here. Throw him in there. Let's see what

675
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 1: we got this day in sports history, PAULI, what do

676
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,839
Speaker 1: you have at a couple of day? In nineteen seventy one,

677
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 1: ABC aired the movie Brian Song, the movie about Chicago

678
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: Bears running back Brian Piccolo and his relationship with Gail Sair.

679
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:37,319
Speaker 1: Sorry goodn't never read the listening in history without choking up. Uh,

680
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 1: this is pretty good. Nineteen ninety three, the NFL awarded

681
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:45,320
Speaker 1: the league's thirtieth franchise to the Jacksonville Jaguars. You're Jaguars,

682
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: that's it, that's it. McLevin finnal results of the poll question,

683
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:51,879
Speaker 1: so I switched it up to Jeffer Detroit's poll who

684
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 1: needs a second Super Bowl win? Eric Rodgers fifty two percent,

685
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: then Russell Wilson right behind him at thirty eight. Thirty

686
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 1: three years ago. Today, both Jackson ran through Brian Bosworth.

687
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,879
Speaker 1: Remember that at the end in the end zone. Right

688
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 1: at the end zone, it was supposed to be the

689
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: irresistible force, immovable object. The object moved. It was downhill

690
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 1: from there for Bosworth. Let's go around the room what

691
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,879
Speaker 1: we learned on this award nominated program, Todd, Since you're

692
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 1: here in the man cave with me, you don't think

693
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 1: Ohio State passes the eye test right now to be

694
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 1: in the college football playoff? No, they don't, and they're

695
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:28,359
Speaker 1: probably if the game gets canceled this weekend against Michigan State,

696
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 1: they're probably not going to be able to play for

697
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,360
Speaker 1: the Big Ten Championship. Doesn't mean they won't be in

698
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: the final four. Thanks for listening to The Dan Patrick

00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 1: Peacock Act. I was noticing this about the NFC East.

706
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: The four teams are combined fourteen twenty eight one, and

707
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: in the next seven days they're underdogs in every game

708
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:07,879
Speaker 1: they play. Seattle at Philadelphia, Seattle's the favorite. Next week,

709
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,320
Speaker 1: Philadelphia will be at Green Bay, there'll be an underdog.

710
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,240
Speaker 1: Washington will be at Pittsburgh. The Giants will be at Seattle,

711
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 1: Dallas at Baltimore. Assuming Baltimore gets some of its players back,

712
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: the leader of the NFC East could enter Week fourteen

713
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 1: with a four and eight record. I believe it was

714
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 1: back in September when I said to Rick Stroud of

715
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Times, we're probably gonna know in November

716
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:34,919
Speaker 1: just how good this Tampa Bay Buccaneers team is. Well,

717
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 1: it's late November, Rick, I don't know if we know

718
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 1: how good this Tampa Bay team is. Thanks for joining us.

719
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:44,360
Speaker 1: Where do you think they stand in the pantheon of

720
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 1: NFC teams? Right now? They're the masters of me. They're

721
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,320
Speaker 1: just not very good. You know, Their average are a

722
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 1: little bit of bob. Look, they've played some tough teams,

723
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: right the last couple of weeks. I mean the whole

724
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,399
Speaker 1: couple of three point games against the Rams and then

725
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, and they just haven't started games well. I

726
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 1: think they've been not scored like forty nine to seven

727
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 1: in the first quarter of their last four games. And

728
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 1: when you start games like that, when you don't convert

729
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 1: third downs, I mean yesterday they had one conversion in

730
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 1: the first fourth series and you know, they've added so

731
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 1: many pieces dan Antonio Brown. There was this this uh,

732
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: this blitz early in the game where you can see,

733
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: you know, Brown just goes out and he doesn't recognize

734
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 1: the blitz, and you know, Brady's yelling. It's like Vince

735
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:31,280
Speaker 1: Vaughan and the wedding crash was hot route, hot route.

736
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:33,839
Speaker 1: You know it's I don't know what you mean, what's

737
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: a hot route like? So it's just been kind of

738
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 1: grab bag like that. And uh, you know, they've got

739
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: it bye week. They need it and they got to

740
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 1: get it together. But you have more questions about the

741
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:46,880
Speaker 1: offense or defense. I got more questions about the offense

742
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 1: because I think they go hand in hand. I think

743
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:51,280
Speaker 1: when um and then look, we can get into top bowls.

744
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 1: As brilliant scheme to try to cover Tyreek Hill one

745
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 1: on one, which, hey, wow, I haven't watched a lot

746
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 1: of football, but I know I wouldn't try that and

747
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 1: I wouldn't let it go. You know, guy do two

748
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 1: hundred yards in first quarter. But I really do think

749
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 1: that it's you know, when you're playing a team that

750
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 1: can score like Kansas City, or for that matter, like

751
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:11,720
Speaker 1: the Rams, you know you have to make first downds.

752
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 1: You can't hang those guys out to drive. In both games,

753
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 1: they made a justice on defense and allowed them, with

754
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,399
Speaker 1: some turnovers to get back in those games. So it's

755
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 1: really complimentary football, and the offense isn't complimenting anybody right now. Yeah,

756
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:26,880
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure this team out. And when I

757
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,359
Speaker 1: saw Tyreek Hill get loose, and I go, Okay, they're

758
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:31,799
Speaker 1: gonna shore that up. And then he got loose again,

759
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 1: and then he got loose again and then again, and

760
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:37,360
Speaker 1: I go, am I the only guy here saying maybe

761
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: not single coverage man, man that maybe we should have

762
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:42,840
Speaker 1: two guys on him, Or how about our center fielder

763
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 1: is so deep that there's no chance he could get

764
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:49,440
Speaker 1: behind him. I was did they figure out how to

765
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:52,919
Speaker 1: Maybe Tyreek Hill was too tired after the first quarter.

766
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: But did the defense did they figure out a little

767
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:57,359
Speaker 1: bit more of a game plan on what to do

768
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: against Kansas City should they meet again. I hope so.

769
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I think, to be honest with you, when

770
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 1: you talk to him, they were they were believing or

771
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 1: not a little more concerned with Travis Kelsey. So when

772
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 1: they were playing single high, he was shaving towards the

773
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:13,359
Speaker 1: time end. That's just a bad plan, and I don't

774
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 1: know why they didn't a jest sooner. The first play

775
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 1: is a thirty four yard completion that nobody covered him.

776
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 1: So how you hide the fastest guy in the NFL,

777
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:23,839
Speaker 1: I don't know. I felt sorry for Carlton Davis. Look

778
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,399
Speaker 1: tad Bowls. He's done some good things this year. That

779
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:28,759
Speaker 1: wasn't one of them, for sure, but then they died

780
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,440
Speaker 1: up some pressure. I think I'm mahomes man. That guy's

781
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:33,400
Speaker 1: great though. Even when you get there, he just keeps

782
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 1: backing up and he throws the ball twenty five yards

783
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,879
Speaker 1: on a dime, and it's just impressive to watch. So

784
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:42,240
Speaker 1: they definitely need a better game plan against the Chiefs

785
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 1: if they were to see him, But then they'd be

786
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: happy to see him because it would be the Super Bowl, right, Okay,

787
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 1: I think that I'm gonna play this Patrick Mahomes, Pike

788
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 1: and you were there. But just to let the fans

789
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:55,280
Speaker 1: hear this, I thought Patrick Mahomes did a site survey

790
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:57,879
Speaker 1: of the Super Bowl. You know, you go down there

791
00:44:57,960 --> 00:44:59,360
Speaker 1: just in case you're going to be playing in the

792
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Here's Patrick Mahomes. I'm getting familiar with Tampa.

793
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:06,319
Speaker 1: Can you get a familiar familiarity with the stadium, with

794
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 1: the process of going to the hotel in the city. Um,

795
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 1: And that's definitely something that eases your mind when you

796
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 1: try to get to the Super Bowl if you know

797
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 1: you've been in this place before and you understand what

798
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 1: kind of the pre game and stuff like that happens.

799
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 1: And then to be the good football team that's a

800
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,360
Speaker 1: really good football team with a lot of talented players.

801
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 1: That's a that's a great thing about football and the

802
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:26,240
Speaker 1: NFL as you build and build and trying to execute

803
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 1: and be the best at the end of the season.

804
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:32,319
Speaker 1: What then it was like they didn't walk through and

805
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 1: they won an NFL game. He is so going back,

806
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:40,400
Speaker 1: he knows he's going back, and uh, you know, he

807
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 1: probably did scout out the restaurants while he was here.

808
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:44,479
Speaker 1: I did see him come out earlier than I've seen

809
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 1: most quarterbacks. Now, maybe this is his routine, you know.

810
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:48,880
Speaker 1: I mean Brady gets to the stadium about four and

811
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 1: a half hours before the game and walks around and

812
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,360
Speaker 1: his and his uh you know, in his street clothes.

813
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 1: But but Mahomes did survey the field. I mean he

814
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: went into end. We're really very little players out there.

815
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 1: And he did that during the game too, Rick, Yeah,

816
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 1: oh yeah. If I said to you, Tampa now or

817
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 1: the Saints with Taysom Hill, who do you like? Oh, Tampa,

818
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:18,720
Speaker 1: Well that's a good one. Hard to beat Sean Payton

819
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 1: and Taysom Hill. I think by the end of the

820
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 1: season the Bucks may get it together, especially these last

821
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 1: four weeks. So, but right now you have to take

822
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:28,319
Speaker 1: the Saints, right, They're a better team than the Bucks.

823
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 1: I mean they beat him twice convincedly. I know they

824
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:33,800
Speaker 1: had Drew Brees in one, but yeah, I guess I

825
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 1: would go Saints. And then look twenty twenty continuity, Dan,

826
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:38,799
Speaker 1: I mean, look at the teams that are winning right,

827
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 1: Teams that had coaching quarterback for the most part, or

828
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:44,280
Speaker 1: systems that have been together whether it's the AFC, the NFC.

829
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a surprise. And I think, you know,

830
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 1: with Brady, I heard you talk to Peter King earlier.

831
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 1: He's right, he wants that time to be with his

832
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,319
Speaker 1: guys and he just hasn't been. And now they've added

833
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 1: some more piece. Is everything okay? Though? With Brady and

834
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 1: Bruce Arians. I mean, Brady knew what he was getting

835
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:01,840
Speaker 1: himself in too, but did he really know what he

836
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:05,360
Speaker 1: was getting himself into? Well, like you know, when to

837
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 1: lose we booze man. I mean it's like I think

838
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 1: he knew he had to have talked to Peyton Manning

839
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 1: and those guys. I know everybody asked me every time

840
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:16,799
Speaker 1: Bruce Arians calls him out, you know, how can how

841
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:19,759
Speaker 1: can you do this to Tom Brady? And I would

842
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:21,799
Speaker 1: just say that, like if Brady didn't know that, then

843
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 1: he did no research. I mean, and I think there's

844
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:25,880
Speaker 1: a part of Brady, not that he likes to have

845
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 1: to feel questions from us about it, but that you know,

846
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 1: he wants the other guys on his team to see

847
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,239
Speaker 1: that he's being held as accountable as everybody else. I mean,

848
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 1: that's big for Tom. Tom wants to simulate into the team.

849
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 1: So I know that apparently Tony Romo was all over

850
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 1: Area's offense. I'm not naive to think that. Like, I

851
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 1: agree with you, they probably had a discussion and there

852
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 1: is a desire of Tom for them to move closer

853
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 1: to what he wants to do. But in Bruce's offense,

854
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:55,279
Speaker 1: Tom's getting hit a lot, and nobody likes. Nobody likes

855
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:56,920
Speaker 1: to get hit because he gets so many guys out.

856
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,359
Speaker 1: They gonna have to make some adjustments with protection, because

857
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:02,400
Speaker 1: when he has he's very, very good. He's Rick Stroud.

858
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 1: He covers the Buccaneers, covers the NFL. Tampa Bay Times writer,

859
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:09,880
Speaker 1: I'm looking at this Steeler Ravens situation and I don't

860
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,440
Speaker 1: know what, like, what else can they do? They canceled

861
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 1: the Ravens practice this morning. They got snow in the

862
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 1: forecast tomorrow in Pittsburgh. They're not sure about traveling. They

863
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:22,760
Speaker 1: got a depleted roster there. It feels like the NFL

864
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 1: is somehow, some way going to get this game in.

865
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:29,279
Speaker 1: But should they? Well, I mean, we just saw him

866
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:31,840
Speaker 1: play a game with no quarterbacks. I mean, they really,

867
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 1: you know, it seems to me like the NFL's whole

868
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 1: goal is play the season. We don't care. We don't

869
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 1: want to miss any games if we can avoid that,

870
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 1: and we'll see who shows up in Tampa. I mean,

871
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:44,760
Speaker 1: I really believe that they don't. I don't think they mind.

872
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 1: They've born these teams. It's going to happen. We're waiting

873
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 1: for the first cancelation. Maybe this is it. I mean,

874
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 1: this game was supposed to be played almost a week ago.

875
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:54,880
Speaker 1: But COVID is a problem, so much so the Bruce

876
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 1: arians really is concerned that the white message he left

877
00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 1: his team with after the game was hey, forget about

878
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 1: everything else. Don't let the virus beat us. Because these

879
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:06,279
Speaker 1: teams come off of bye weeks, and very often that's

880
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:09,760
Speaker 1: that's usually what starts to spread. Yeah, and I wonder

881
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:12,560
Speaker 1: if the NFL really wants to get a team's attention.

882
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 1: It's not finding a team five hundred thousand dollars in

883
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 1: taking away seventh round draft pick. When you four for

884
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 1: the game and you lose a paycheck. Now all of

885
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:25,879
Speaker 1: a sudden, people realize, oh my gosh, there's a whole

886
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 1: lotted steak here. But in the interim, it just feels like,

887
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 1: you know, we're going to plow through it somehow, some way.

888
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 1: Well I don't know, you know what the TV contract

889
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 1: says and whether you're giving money back to the networks

890
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 1: if you cancel the game or not, but I imagine

891
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 1: there's some financial steak there. Um, So yeah, they're gonna play. Look,

892
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 1: we've seen the league play with with you know, with

893
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 1: planned with scab players before, and they've played with you

894
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 1: know this. This league has a history of just playing games,

895
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:55,919
Speaker 1: so I don't think that's going to change. But yeah,

896
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 1: at some point you wondered just how much water down

897
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 1: is a product going to be? And you get a

898
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 1: bye week for the Buccaneers, so everybody gets to talk

899
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 1: about like this loss. It feels like it's going to

900
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:11,959
Speaker 1: be two losses after everybody gets through dissecting what went wrong. Yeah,

901
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 1: I really will, and they'll be more heaped out up

902
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 1: on Bruce Arians. But the fact is is that they've

903
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:19,719
Speaker 1: got the Vikings, who baby Jacksonville could put themselves back

904
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 1: in and winning five out of six, But then it's

905
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 1: Atlanta twice. No, Rody Morris has done a good job there.

906
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 1: I mean, they got Detroit. So those are four games

907
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:29,279
Speaker 1: Dan that they should be favored in. The Vikings is

908
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 1: at home. If they went three out of four, they're

909
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:33,879
Speaker 1: gonna make the playoffs. Right now, they're still I think

910
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 1: the sixth seed. They would probably go to Green Bay,

911
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:39,359
Speaker 1: which they've beaten, which would be a nice climate for him.

912
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 1: But you know, look, if we thought they were going

913
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:44,879
Speaker 1: to run the table and be the number one seed

914
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,399
Speaker 1: in the FC, we're kidding ourselves. I still think there's

915
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:49,759
Speaker 1: a lot for them to play for, and I'm not

916
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:51,640
Speaker 1: giving up. I don't think anybody should give up on

917
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:54,319
Speaker 1: Tom Brady just yet. Great to talk to you again, Rick,

924
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 1: on the Peacock app. I had very low expectations with

925
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 1: Mike Tyson Roy Jones Junior exhibition. When they attached exhibition

926
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 1: to it, I went, Okay, maybe they'll dance around a

927
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:28,360
Speaker 1: little bit. And then Mike got in there and you

928
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 1: could tell that Mike, you know, he wanted to put

929
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:33,000
Speaker 1: on a little bit of his show there. Chris Mannox

930
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 1: covers the NBA n Boxing for Sports Illustrated. So who

931
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:41,520
Speaker 1: came away the biggest winner in that fight on Saturday night? Oh?

932
00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 1: I think Mike Tyson did. I was with you, extremely

933
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 1: low expectations coming in. But Hyson was in great shape

934
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 1: and he was throwing punches that if they connected cleanly,

935
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 1: they could have knocked Roy Jones out. And that was

936
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,440
Speaker 1: really the big source of entertainment from it. I mean,

937
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 1: Roy looked like he hadn't been like in an equinox

938
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:08,360
Speaker 1: for the last three years, whereas Mike, you know, for

939
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:10,680
Speaker 1: eight rounds, you know, look like he was in shape.

940
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:12,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if he watched all the

941
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:14,960
Speaker 1: way through Dan at the interview where Jim Gray's talking

942
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:16,880
Speaker 1: to Roy and he's talking about a rematch and he's

943
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:19,840
Speaker 1: still gasping, And this was like ten minutes after the

944
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:22,239
Speaker 1: fight was out, whereas Mike is like bouncing around and

945
00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:24,600
Speaker 1: you know, saying he's he's going to do this again.

946
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:28,719
Speaker 1: This was a much better event than I expected. It

947
00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:33,839
Speaker 1: had everything to do with Tyson. Could Tyson get back

948
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:37,480
Speaker 1: in the ring and fight legitimate? No, no, no, under

949
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 1: another circumstance, it just look, he can swing wildly and

950
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:46,400
Speaker 1: try to connect on Roy Jones, but the volume of

951
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:49,400
Speaker 1: punching isn't there. The power certainly isn't there for a

952
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:52,040
Speaker 1: real heavy way he goes in with let's use Anthony

953
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 1: Joshua as an example, it ends in a really bad way.

954
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 1: So look, if he wants to go on like the

955
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 1: Mike Tyson revenge Tour and fight like a Vander Holyfield,

956
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:04,600
Speaker 1: you know, next year, and then fight Lennox Lewis the

957
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:07,200
Speaker 1: year after that, and maybe cap it off in you

958
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:09,319
Speaker 1: know with Danny Williams who knocked him out right before

959
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:11,560
Speaker 1: the end. Kevin McBride, I mean, go ahead. I mean

960
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 1: that that I think would do not the kind of

961
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:16,360
Speaker 1: business this one probably did, but it would be okay.

962
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:20,360
Speaker 1: But I think everyone in Tyson's orbit understands, and Tyson too,

963
00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:23,279
Speaker 1: that you stay away from real fights. Yeah, PAULI brought

964
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:25,920
Speaker 1: this up. I think on Wednesday that how would Tyson

965
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:27,719
Speaker 1: What if he got in with Tyson Fury and I go,

966
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:31,520
Speaker 1: oh no, PAULI, that would be so it would be ugly, yeah,

967
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:34,799
Speaker 1: because I mean Fury Dan has six foot nine and

968
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 1: he just pepper Mike to death. With. You know, Fury's

969
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 1: the kind of guy and I know him a little bit,

970
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:40,480
Speaker 1: like he wouldn't go out there and try to hurt

971
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:43,760
Speaker 1: Mike Tyson. But it would just be However, many rounds

972
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 1: of Fury just ricocheting his jab off Tyson's head, it

973
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:49,440
Speaker 1: wouldn't be it wouldn't be entertaining. I like that. Everybody

974
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:52,600
Speaker 1: came out of the woodworks after this YouTube sensation Jake

975
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:56,719
Speaker 1: Paul knocks h poor Nate Robinson. Now everybody wants to

976
00:53:56,760 --> 00:54:01,920
Speaker 1: fight Jake. Jake Paul have actual boxing town. Look. I

977
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:05,239
Speaker 1: said this for weeks leading up to that fight, that

978
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 1: Nate Robinson was making a mistake. I actually broadcasted Jake

979
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:12,759
Speaker 1: Paul's first fight. He did it back in January. He

980
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 1: did he did it back in January in a YouTube

981
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:19,000
Speaker 1: fight on the Zone. And look, Jake's not a real fighter,

982
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 1: but Jake can fight a little bit. And look he's

983
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 1: trained by bj Flores, who's a former boxer. He's got

984
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:27,399
Speaker 1: he's been doing this for a while. Nate is just Look,

985
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 1: Nate's a phenomenal athlete, maybe one of the great you know,

986
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:32,600
Speaker 1: so the under six foot athletes ever. You know, as

987
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:35,520
Speaker 1: a football player and a basketball player, but you don't

988
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:38,279
Speaker 1: play boxing. Gets set over and over again, and I

989
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 1: said it. I said, he's going to get knocked out

990
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:43,479
Speaker 1: gold and sure enough he was. Now the referee didn't

991
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:46,640
Speaker 1: do him any favors. Like after that second knockdown where

992
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:48,760
Speaker 1: Nate got up at nine and then he started wandering

993
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:52,200
Speaker 1: around the ring blindly. Any other fighter does that in

994
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:54,680
Speaker 1: a real fight. The referee waves it off, but then

995
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:57,799
Speaker 1: let Nate continue and then like a minute later he

996
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:00,600
Speaker 1: gets space planned it becomes a meme. So, you know,

997
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:02,319
Speaker 1: too bad for Nate. I feel bad for him because

998
00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:05,280
Speaker 1: the referee didn't do him any favors. I thought Snoop

999
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:08,319
Speaker 1: Dog was the star. I don't know if you could

1000
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:12,120
Speaker 1: see him do other sports commentary, but uh, Snoop had

1001
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:15,040
Speaker 1: a little fun. Well, first of all, you can't do

1002
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 1: other sports commentary as stoned as stop was. A second,

1003
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:22,400
Speaker 1: you can't swear as much as he did. And third,

1004
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:26,279
Speaker 1: everything else was fine, Like I mean, his comment about

1005
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:28,719
Speaker 1: two uncles trying to get a barbecue was great. Like

1006
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 1: I think he said something when Nate was unconscious. He's

1007
00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 1: like Nate's from the hood, He'll struck that off. While

1008
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:35,920
Speaker 1: Nate was down for four minutes. You know, Snoop was

1009
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:38,520
Speaker 1: Snoop was awesome, but I think this was this kind

1010
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:40,239
Speaker 1: of event is the only one that Snoop can do.

1011
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if they drug chest you before you

1012
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:46,319
Speaker 1: go into the booth though, just letting you know. Mannox Uh, Well,

1013
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:48,000
Speaker 1: you'd have to ask Mike Breen next time you talk

1014
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 1: to him if there's any kind of marijuana test. I

1015
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 1: mean maybe in boxing you can do it. But if

1016
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:55,880
Speaker 1: look if if Triller does this again. And look, this

1017
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:58,800
Speaker 1: is a Mike Tyson league that just started, the Legends

1018
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:02,280
Speaker 1: Only League, which incredibly has an acronym of LLOL, which

1019
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 1: is just the worst acronym in the world. Like supposed

1020
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:08,799
Speaker 1: there's going to be more of these, and Snoop should

1021
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:13,440
Speaker 1: be a part of it. What's Tyson's next fight? Look,

1022
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:15,200
Speaker 1: the holy Field wants it. I talked to a vander

1023
00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:16,680
Speaker 1: a couple of months ago, and he thought he was

1024
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:19,760
Speaker 1: gonna get it so I could see Tyson Holyfield three

1025
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:25,440
Speaker 1: at the exhibition. Oh god, what year? What decade am

1035
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:59,560
Speaker 1: saw this news Michael Pennox. He is the quarterback for Indiana.

1036
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:02,960
Speaker 1: Expect expected to miss the rest of the season because

1037
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:07,400
Speaker 1: of the lower leg injury he suffered on Saturday. Her

1038
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:11,160
Speaker 1: source he's been great this year and went toe to

1039
00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:15,440
Speaker 1: toe with Justin Fields in Columbus when Indiana lost by

1040
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:18,600
Speaker 1: a touchdown. There, let's bring in Maurice Jones Drew, the

1041
00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:23,600
Speaker 1: NFL network analyst, former great running back and uh he

1042
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:26,200
Speaker 1: led the NFL and rushing I think in twenty eleven

1043
00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:29,480
Speaker 1: he's the Rams color analyst and uh he joins us now.

1044
00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 1: You can follow him on Twitter at mj D. Do

1045
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:35,840
Speaker 1: you think you could have played quarterback in the NFL

1046
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:40,600
Speaker 1: like we saw with the Broncos yesterday? You know it's

1047
00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:42,640
Speaker 1: it's it's I'm glad you asked that question. How's a

1048
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:44,360
Speaker 1: great question to start with, um, you know, in my

1049
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 1: in my career, I'm I'm one for two with an

1050
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 1: interception in the touchdown, so you know, you know I'm

1051
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:52,600
Speaker 1: gonna be high risk, high reward. I felt like, uh,

1052
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 1: you know, the Broncos was kind of putting a horrible situation.

1053
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:57,480
Speaker 1: But you know, if you have a running back, it

1054
00:57:57,520 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 1: was just weird to see them play a practice squad

1055
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:02,280
Speaker 1: quarterback there. When you have a running back, you could

1056
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:04,240
Speaker 1: just run wildcat the whole game. We saw the Carolina

1057
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:06,080
Speaker 1: Pats it. I would have did it like when I

1058
00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 1: was in Jacksonville. I was an emergency quarterback and we

1059
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:10,520
Speaker 1: had a packet set up where we'd run six or

1060
00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:13,960
Speaker 1: seven plays, two passes, five runs, and we were just

1061
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:17,120
Speaker 1: gonna make it work well. Plus you have somebody who's

1062
00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:19,640
Speaker 1: on the practice squad doesn't even get any reps in

1063
00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:25,000
Speaker 1: practice whatsoever. Should that game have been played yesterday? MO, Yeah,

1064
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:26,919
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think so, because then one team

1065
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:30,400
Speaker 1: has a serious competitive advantage. And you saw how you

1066
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:34,240
Speaker 1: were able to move the Ravens Steelers game back to Tuesday.

1067
00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:37,400
Speaker 1: I felt like they should have moved the Saints Broncos

1068
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:40,200
Speaker 1: game back to Tuesday as well. And you know then

1069
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:42,240
Speaker 1: you have a short week, but you give the team

1070
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:45,320
Speaker 1: at least an opportunity to compete and to be honest, like,

1071
00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:48,400
Speaker 1: I felt like if Denver would have had a quarterback,

1072
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:51,000
Speaker 1: the game might have been a completely different game because

1073
00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:54,360
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill didn't play like he did against the Falcon

1074
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:56,840
Speaker 1: So you might have had an opportunity to steal that one.

1075
00:58:57,440 --> 00:59:00,160
Speaker 1: I love this tweet by Kevin Clark. He says the

1076
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:02,360
Speaker 1: idea of a game without quarterbacks is more fun than

1077
00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:06,000
Speaker 1: an actual game without quarterbacks. I tuned in and I

1078
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 1: quickly went this game, isn't it. I'm not watching this.

1079
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:11,360
Speaker 1: This isn't and entertaining at all. And now it leads

1080
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:15,640
Speaker 1: me to the question about Baltimore against Pittsburgh. Baltimore's practice

1081
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:18,400
Speaker 1: was canceled this morning by the NFL snow in the

1082
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:21,520
Speaker 1: forecast tomorrow in Pittsburgh, so they're not even sure about

1083
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:25,920
Speaker 1: their flight to Pittsburgh. Should this game be played tomorrow

1084
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:29,920
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh, Well it has to. I think you, like

1085
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:33,360
Speaker 1: you've done everything in your power to make sure that

1086
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:35,920
Speaker 1: Baltimore can put a team together. They have a quarterback,

1087
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:38,680
Speaker 1: they have multiple I mean RG three is there. They

1088
00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:42,040
Speaker 1: have guys that can go. There's not one position that doesn't.

1089
00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:45,000
Speaker 1: You know, you don't have guys for so you've given

1090
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:48,479
Speaker 1: Baltimore every opportunity to try to figure this thing out.

1091
00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:50,640
Speaker 1: They need to go out there and play. I mean,

1092
00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:53,320
Speaker 1: I think it's a completely different circumstance in that Denver Broncos,

1093
00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:55,200
Speaker 1: who got told on what is it Friday night or

1094
00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:59,560
Speaker 1: Saturday morning that all their quarterbacks can't play. Where Baltimore

1095
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:01,280
Speaker 1: is no kind of what's going on, and you can

1096
01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 1: do the virtual thing. We've seen a big Ben didn't

1097
01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:04,800
Speaker 1: practice all week, came out and had a big day

1098
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:08,240
Speaker 1: like so you know in the NFL too. This is

1099
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:09,600
Speaker 1: the other thing I had to tell you an NFL

1100
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:12,640
Speaker 1: it's it's less about you. You have to be mentally

1101
01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:14,880
Speaker 1: prepared to go out there and make plays. And so

1102
01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:17,800
Speaker 1: I think the virtual meetings and understanding what you have

1103
01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:20,120
Speaker 1: to do, you've already wrapped those things a million times.

1104
01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:22,400
Speaker 1: And I know this is a pivotal game for the

1105
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:26,920
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens. But whatever happened in your organization, you know,

1106
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:28,960
Speaker 1: the league has given you opportunities to kind of try

1107
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:31,600
Speaker 1: to write the ship. So you got I think they

1108
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:33,440
Speaker 1: need to play this game and get this week over

1109
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:36,560
Speaker 1: with it. Who does Derrick Henry remind you of when

1110
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:42,000
Speaker 1: he runs? You know, there's some people say Eddie George.

1111
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:43,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think there's a guy like him.

1112
01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 1: And I always tell people that's like Dereck Henry's never

1113
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:49,480
Speaker 1: that good of a running back. In September and October,

1114
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:53,520
Speaker 1: early parts of November become Thanksgiving for some reason, he

1115
01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 1: just starts running like a mad man. He's gonna rush

1116
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:58,880
Speaker 1: for a thousand yards in the next six weeks, and

1117
01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:01,200
Speaker 1: you know he'll close out the season with leading the

1118
01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:03,760
Speaker 1: league in rushing and he's gonna lead the Tennessee Tight

1119
01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:06,240
Speaker 1: into another playoff run. Because people don't want to tackle

1120
01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:09,080
Speaker 1: someone that wighs two hundred and fifty pounds, and you know,

1121
01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:11,560
Speaker 1: he's a great He's great in space. He has short

1122
01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:14,600
Speaker 1: which for such a big lanky guy, which they call

1123
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:17,600
Speaker 1: like high cut. He has great short area quickness and

1124
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:20,440
Speaker 1: so um And to be honest, it's more of a

1125
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:22,080
Speaker 1: mental factor. A lot of people don't want to tackle

1126
01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:24,880
Speaker 1: him when it gets cold because I know it hurts.

1127
01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:28,040
Speaker 1: And so we saw that against the Indianapolis Indiapolis Colts,

1128
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:30,040
Speaker 1: and he's gonna keep doing that and so I think

1129
01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:31,560
Speaker 1: he's in a league of his own when it comes

1130
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:34,920
Speaker 1: to guys. I mean, I guess you could say Jerome Bettis,

1131
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:39,120
Speaker 1: but people were still trying to tackle Jerome when they

1132
01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:41,360
Speaker 1: got cold. Because people just don't want to tackle Derek

1133
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:44,480
Speaker 1: Henry right now. But what's that like when when you

1134
01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:47,520
Speaker 1: know they don't want to tackle you this their job

1135
01:01:47,640 --> 01:01:50,760
Speaker 1: is to tackle you, and then they make business decisions too.

1136
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:56,480
Speaker 1: How do you not tackle somebody? Well, you know it hurts,

1137
01:01:57,080 --> 01:01:58,840
Speaker 1: you know. I think it's like, you know, if you

1138
01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:00,400
Speaker 1: get hit in the face with a bat, you don't

1139
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:02,320
Speaker 1: want to step in the batting cage again for a while.

1140
01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:04,520
Speaker 1: What's on swinging? You're like, Ah, that kind of hurt

1141
01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:06,840
Speaker 1: a little bit. Maybe I'll to sit behind this fence

1142
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:09,840
Speaker 1: and watch for those DVDs. It's kind of the same thing.

1143
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:11,440
Speaker 1: It's like, look, I just tackled this dude. Why am

1144
01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:14,520
Speaker 1: I tackling them? Why is a corner in the safety mud?

1145
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:17,800
Speaker 1: This is where linebackers and then linebackers, look, look you're

1146
01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:20,840
Speaker 1: getting this guy at five yard heads start, Okay, D line,

1147
01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:22,240
Speaker 1: it's your job. The D line is like, look, I'm

1148
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 1: trying to come on block and try I'm not trying

1149
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:25,680
Speaker 1: to put my face out there so we get ran

1150
01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:28,440
Speaker 1: over too and hurts. It's a businesses like you said,

1151
01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:30,240
Speaker 1: it's it's like do I want to take this pain

1152
01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:32,720
Speaker 1: or not? Some people don't want to, well, most people

1153
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:37,080
Speaker 1: don't want to. That terrible loss for the Rams yesterday,

1154
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:39,320
Speaker 1: you know, they had a great comeback and then you

1155
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:41,919
Speaker 1: lose to the forty nine ers here. But I will

1156
01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:45,760
Speaker 1: say watching Aaron Donald there is I know that we

1157
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:47,880
Speaker 1: can put my homes wherever we want to put in.

1158
01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:51,600
Speaker 1: But as far as the guy that is just better

1159
01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:55,480
Speaker 1: than everybody else on the field, you know, is Aaron Donald.

1160
01:02:55,920 --> 01:03:00,919
Speaker 1: It's it's scary even double teaming him. It's a He's

1161
01:03:00,920 --> 01:03:04,160
Speaker 1: a phenomenon. He truly is. And he's gonna be one

1162
01:03:04,160 --> 01:03:05,760
Speaker 1: of those guys where we look at his numbers when

1163
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:07,600
Speaker 1: it's all said and done, we're gonna go, oh, he

1164
01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:11,400
Speaker 1: only had like seventy two sacks and he's so much

1165
01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:14,600
Speaker 1: more dominant than any other defense. You're player in the game,

1166
01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:17,920
Speaker 1: you get to see him all the time. Oh listen,

1167
01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:20,520
Speaker 1: First of all, just talk about that game. It seems

1168
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:23,160
Speaker 1: like the Niners and Kyle Shan, they're just a kryptonite

1169
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:25,160
Speaker 1: to the rains. They just know how to play them.

1170
01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:28,080
Speaker 1: They know how to neutralize Donald for most of the game,

1171
01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:30,400
Speaker 1: not all of it. They know how to get under

1172
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:32,840
Speaker 1: Jared golf skin. And so they've done it again right

1173
01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:34,920
Speaker 1: with Nick Mullins, and they found a way to get

1174
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:38,880
Speaker 1: the game going. But it was crazy calling that game,

1175
01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:41,200
Speaker 1: like everybody's spirits were low because it was like time

1176
01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:43,959
Speaker 1: is running out, like something you have to make a play.

1177
01:03:43,960 --> 01:03:46,520
Speaker 1: And on the broadcast, my partner J. B. Long, we

1178
01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:48,360
Speaker 1: were talking into Marco Parton. I was like, the defense

1179
01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:51,000
Speaker 1: has to score here on this drive. And then sure enough,

1180
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:54,760
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald does what Aaron Donald does and get to

1181
01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:57,760
Speaker 1: strip Kur crates a fumble a forced fumble there and

1182
01:03:57,800 --> 01:03:59,280
Speaker 1: de Troy Hill picks it up. And then on the

1183
01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:01,760
Speaker 1: next series gets a sack right after right, and a

1184
01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:06,320
Speaker 1: guy who hadn't had a tackle in two weeks, didn't

1185
01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:08,840
Speaker 1: have a quarterback, had a couple of quarterback pressures, but

1186
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:12,360
Speaker 1: not a sack, comes up with a tip pick tipped

1187
01:04:12,520 --> 01:04:14,880
Speaker 1: or tipped the ball that got intercepted. Impacted his game

1188
01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:17,280
Speaker 1: like crazy, and it is because they needed it. And

1189
01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:20,200
Speaker 1: so it's it's funny to say that because the Rams

1190
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:23,160
Speaker 1: have another great defensive player in Jalen Ramsey. But you

1191
01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:25,920
Speaker 1: can see the difference, you know, with Aaron Donald what

1192
01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 1: he's able to do it, and it's he's normally getting

1193
01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:30,680
Speaker 1: doubled and triple team and it's allowing these other guys

1194
01:04:30,680 --> 01:04:32,800
Speaker 1: to make plays. And he's still leading the league in sacks,

1195
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:35,400
Speaker 1: which is crazy, right, And so we take it for

1196
01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:38,280
Speaker 1: granted how great he is. But what I do love

1197
01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:42,720
Speaker 1: about it more than anything Dan, is that he's never satisfied, right,

1198
01:04:42,760 --> 01:04:45,280
Speaker 1: He's always upset, he's always frustrated. He wants to do

1199
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:48,160
Speaker 1: but he wants more. I think that's what makes it great.

1200
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:50,440
Speaker 1: It's great is that, like you're just not satisfied with

1201
01:04:51,080 --> 01:04:54,240
Speaker 1: a phenomenal performance because it wasn't good enough to win.

1202
01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:56,680
Speaker 1: And so he's going back to work and he's getting back,

1203
01:04:56,680 --> 01:04:58,520
Speaker 1: and I think everybody's getting back to work, getting ready

1204
01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:02,960
Speaker 1: to get after it. What was your Super Bowl pick? Oh?

1205
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:08,080
Speaker 1: It was the Chiefs bucks Um early on um, some

1206
01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:09,840
Speaker 1: people had to say and some had the Rams. I

1207
01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:12,040
Speaker 1: think the Rams will have a chance if they match

1208
01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:16,160
Speaker 1: up with the proper team. But I believe, you know,

1209
01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:20,240
Speaker 1: right now, as good as Pittsburgh is, uh undefeated seas

1210
01:05:20,280 --> 01:05:22,960
Speaker 1: and all those like the Knsity Chiefs there. Like I

1211
01:05:23,080 --> 01:05:24,840
Speaker 1: tell people this all the time, Dan, This, this is

1212
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:27,360
Speaker 1: people like you're you're, you're, you're crazy. The only way

1213
01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:29,400
Speaker 1: to beat the Can City Chiefs if you score forty points.

1214
01:05:30,440 --> 01:05:33,320
Speaker 1: The only way in a bad game against the Raiders,

1215
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:35,200
Speaker 1: they lost thirty two to forty. So you have to

1216
01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:37,120
Speaker 1: be able to put up forty points and have an

1217
01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:40,560
Speaker 1: offense to do that. And if you can't, um, you know,

1218
01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:44,080
Speaker 1: sucks to be you kind of thing. It's great to

1219
01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:47,000
Speaker 1: talk to you. I hope you're doing well. You know.

1220
01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:49,400
Speaker 1: I'm doing the best I can with all this lockdown,

1221
01:05:49,480 --> 01:05:53,120
Speaker 1: you know, UM, trying to just stay busy and keep

1222
01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:57,680
Speaker 1: educating and entertaining through through you know, our our our

1223
01:05:57,760 --> 01:06:00,200
Speaker 1: life of sports, which is awesome. But I hope you're

1224
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:02,720
Speaker 1: doing well as well. I hope everything for you is

1225
01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:05,320
Speaker 1: working out. And what city are you living in now?

1226
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:08,520
Speaker 1: I'm in Connecticut. I'm everything's great, you know. I get

1227
01:06:08,520 --> 01:06:10,840
Speaker 1: to go to the man Cave every day, and I

1228
01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:13,600
Speaker 1: got a golf simulator in here, and got a basketball hoop,

1229
01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:18,640
Speaker 1: got a grill. H So real quick, can we switch checks,

1230
01:06:18,640 --> 01:06:20,000
Speaker 1: because I mean I'm just trying to get that too.

1231
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:21,920
Speaker 1: One day when I grow up, just a golf simulator

1232
01:06:21,920 --> 01:06:24,320
Speaker 1: and a man cave like, yeah, but you got that

1233
01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:28,040
Speaker 1: NFL money, You got NFL running back money? Man? Yeah,

1234
01:06:28,080 --> 01:06:29,880
Speaker 1: you know they don't. They don't. They don't value running

1235
01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:33,080
Speaker 1: back like they know. It just needs you to win

1236
01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:35,120
Speaker 1: them funch of games. They need to close out games.

1237
01:06:35,120 --> 01:06:36,840
Speaker 1: They just don't give us the money to do such.

1238
01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:40,760
Speaker 1: So we'll see how it goes. Okay, would you sign

1239
01:06:40,880 --> 01:06:45,040
Speaker 1: a running back to a second contract? I would, depending

1240
01:06:45,080 --> 01:06:47,080
Speaker 1: on what he's able to bring to the table. I

1241
01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:49,840
Speaker 1: think that's with every position, though, Like I believe that

1242
01:06:49,880 --> 01:06:52,000
Speaker 1: a lot of people we signed quarterbacks just because we're

1243
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:54,400
Speaker 1: supposed to sign quarterbacks. Like, I'm not signing a quarterback

1244
01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:57,320
Speaker 1: unless he's he's exceptional. Just draft another one. And the

1245
01:06:57,360 --> 01:06:58,680
Speaker 1: same thing with a running back. I'm not going to

1246
01:06:58,720 --> 01:07:01,000
Speaker 1: sign a running back or often to. If I gave

1247
01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:05,160
Speaker 1: Dallas to do over, Mojoe, would you have resigned Zeke Elliott?

1248
01:07:05,920 --> 01:07:09,560
Speaker 1: No question, No, you don't want to give him that money. No,

1249
01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:12,320
Speaker 1: he's giving me, he's giving you his best year. He's

1250
01:07:12,320 --> 01:07:16,480
Speaker 1: got a backup who's just as good. See that, that's

1251
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:18,880
Speaker 1: what you guys are being disrespectful. I think I think

1252
01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:22,440
Speaker 1: in this situation, what zekea did for the for the

1253
01:07:22,520 --> 01:07:25,120
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. Let's remember when they went thirteen and three,

1254
01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:30,400
Speaker 1: Zeke led the league in rushing was then let me

1255
01:07:30,680 --> 01:07:33,080
Speaker 1: can I finish? I'm about to tell you. So you

1256
01:07:33,160 --> 01:07:35,680
Speaker 1: go out and you get all these all these toys,

1257
01:07:36,160 --> 01:07:39,080
Speaker 1: and you Kellen Moore stopped running the ball. That's why

1258
01:07:39,120 --> 01:07:40,920
Speaker 1: Dallas was so bad early in the year last year.

1259
01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:43,080
Speaker 1: They weren't running the ball. Did he want to run

1260
01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:46,640
Speaker 1: the ball late, But by that point he's not in rhythm.

1261
01:07:46,680 --> 01:07:48,320
Speaker 1: He's a rhythm back. So you got to start getting

1262
01:07:48,360 --> 01:07:50,720
Speaker 1: him carries early on. And so you were leaning on

1263
01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:52,640
Speaker 1: Dak who led the league in passing and all this.

1264
01:07:52,920 --> 01:07:54,360
Speaker 1: And guess what you in eight and eight. But when

1265
01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:56,480
Speaker 1: you ran the ball and Zeke was doing what he

1266
01:07:56,520 --> 01:07:58,360
Speaker 1: was supposed to do and you were doing those things,

1267
01:07:58,640 --> 01:08:01,000
Speaker 1: you were winning games. And that's the problem with this league.

1268
01:08:01,040 --> 01:08:03,520
Speaker 1: So many people are enamored with the kan City Chiefs

1269
01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:06,040
Speaker 1: and what they're able to do with Patrick Mahomes, but

1270
01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:07,760
Speaker 1: not every team has built that way. You need to

1271
01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:09,720
Speaker 1: run the ball in this league to win. And look

1272
01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:12,560
Speaker 1: at the NFC East, look at their running backs right now,

1273
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:15,040
Speaker 1: there's a reason. I mean, I would say the Washington

1274
01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:18,000
Speaker 1: rest the Washington football team. Excuse me, I almost slipped up.

1275
01:08:18,439 --> 01:08:20,679
Speaker 1: They have the best back in the end right now

1276
01:08:21,200 --> 01:08:23,799
Speaker 1: in the NFC East, and they're about to win this division.

1277
01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:26,679
Speaker 1: Dallas is beat up. They can't do much of anything.

1278
01:08:27,120 --> 01:08:30,720
Speaker 1: The Eagles probably the healthiest, will getting the becoming them

1279
01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:33,559
Speaker 1: one of the more healthier teams. But they're not running

1280
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:36,920
Speaker 1: the ball worth worth anything. And to be honest, the

1281
01:08:36,960 --> 01:08:39,680
Speaker 1: Giants if they had, say fun, they'd be winning this

1282
01:08:39,680 --> 01:08:42,120
Speaker 1: whole thing as well. But you have to you have

1283
01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:44,840
Speaker 1: to be committed to the running game. Will you pay

1284
01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:48,519
Speaker 1: a guy ninety million dollars? Utilize him? That's what you're

1285
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:50,400
Speaker 1: supposed to do. Not not say all we're going to

1286
01:08:50,479 --> 01:08:52,080
Speaker 1: use him as a decoy. He's just we just have

1287
01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:54,560
Speaker 1: a great piece in the back. Build Utilize him. I

1288
01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:58,400
Speaker 1: wouldn't have resigned McCaffrey. I wouldn't have resigned Zeke Elliott

1289
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:03,200
Speaker 1: to resigned Dak because he got hurt. Well was to

1290
01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:06,160
Speaker 1: grant I have Dack? Yes, I would have. I would

1291
01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:08,920
Speaker 1: have signed I said hurt. I would have signed Dak

1292
01:09:09,320 --> 01:09:11,879
Speaker 1: eighteen months ago when they could have gotten a bargain

1293
01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:14,559
Speaker 1: for him. And then Jerry waited and waited and waited.

1294
01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:20,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, did you have signed Carson Wentz? Yes? Why, well,

1295
01:09:20,920 --> 01:09:23,000
Speaker 1: he would have been the MVP in the season that

1296
01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:24,880
Speaker 1: they went to the Supermowl. Did you tell me, don't

1297
01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:26,360
Speaker 1: tell me about that stuff in the past. No, but

1298
01:09:26,439 --> 01:09:27,840
Speaker 1: that was in the moment when I was going to

1299
01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:30,160
Speaker 1: sign him. What I signed him? Now, if you're asking

1300
01:09:30,160 --> 01:09:32,000
Speaker 1: me now, i'd say no, but back and then we

1301
01:09:32,040 --> 01:09:34,320
Speaker 1: signed him. We signed him two years ago. That wait,

1302
01:09:34,360 --> 01:09:35,800
Speaker 1: we didn't sign him after the Super Bowl. We lent

1303
01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:37,720
Speaker 1: him play another year and then we signed him after

1304
01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:39,080
Speaker 1: and he was doing the same thing to him. Now,

1305
01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:42,680
Speaker 1: I would have signed him, so you so you had

1306
01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:46,400
Speaker 1: that quarterback buyas you believe. No, I don't understand why

1307
01:09:46,479 --> 01:09:48,519
Speaker 1: next man up makes more than the next guy like

1308
01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:53,799
Speaker 1: Jared Goff. Uh, Jimmy Garoppolo should not make anywhere nearer

1309
01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:56,920
Speaker 1: what these other good, you know, great quarterbacks. Jared. You know,

1310
01:09:57,040 --> 01:10:00,280
Speaker 1: Jared Goff has more wins than Carson wins and all

1311
01:10:00,280 --> 01:10:03,040
Speaker 1: those other dudes. You know that, right, That's what the

1312
01:10:03,040 --> 01:10:04,960
Speaker 1: game is about winning. If you're going to look up

1313
01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:07,840
Speaker 1: the stat he has more wins than Carson Wentz, Well,

1314
01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:11,479
Speaker 1: neither's going any place anytime soon. But but you would

1315
01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:13,160
Speaker 1: it so you wouldn't pay Gared Goff, would you'd pay

1316
01:10:13,240 --> 01:10:15,800
Speaker 1: Carson Wins. I mean that's why I'm confused. Well, I've

1317
01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:18,320
Speaker 1: seen Carson Wentz play at an MVP level. I haven't

1318
01:10:18,360 --> 01:10:22,320
Speaker 1: seen Jared Goff played an MVP level. I haven't seen

1319
01:10:22,360 --> 01:10:24,720
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz play at any level in the last leg,

1320
01:10:24,920 --> 01:10:28,240
Speaker 1: But he played at an MVP level. Has Jared Golf

1321
01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:30,439
Speaker 1: played at an MVP level at any point in his

1322
01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:34,479
Speaker 1: NFL career? No? But who else has No? That's the

1323
01:10:34,600 --> 01:10:37,400
Speaker 1: point I just said, He's at least played at a

1324
01:10:37,520 --> 01:10:42,000
Speaker 1: very high level. Is he flawed? Now? Absolutely? Okay, So

1325
01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:43,360
Speaker 1: this is this is I guess this is my This

1326
01:10:43,400 --> 01:10:44,920
Speaker 1: is my because I have this conversation all the time

1327
01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:46,320
Speaker 1: with people, and I loved that we're having to hear.

1328
01:10:46,680 --> 01:10:49,240
Speaker 1: This is my issue with Carson Wentz. And I tell

1329
01:10:49,240 --> 01:10:51,680
Speaker 1: people this all the time. If you can't win from

1330
01:10:51,680 --> 01:10:54,479
Speaker 1: the pocket, you will never win in the NFL. You

1331
01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:57,559
Speaker 1: can have the ability to scramble and do certain things, yes,

1332
01:10:58,080 --> 01:11:00,280
Speaker 1: but that can be your number one attribute. It can't

1333
01:11:00,280 --> 01:11:03,000
Speaker 1: be here. You can't be an improviser. Improvisers don't win

1334
01:11:03,040 --> 01:11:04,400
Speaker 1: in this league. You have to be able to throw

1335
01:11:04,439 --> 01:11:07,480
Speaker 1: from the pocket. Carson Wentz is what we call an improviser.

1336
01:11:07,560 --> 01:11:10,200
Speaker 1: He scrambles to try to make the big play. He's

1337
01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:12,559
Speaker 1: always thinking about the big play. What you get with

1338
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:15,439
Speaker 1: Jared golfers you get the same play? Could you get? Could?

1339
01:11:15,439 --> 01:11:17,360
Speaker 1: It may dip a little bit, but then that consistency

1340
01:11:17,400 --> 01:11:21,280
Speaker 1: comes back and you'll have a game games. You're you're

1341
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:25,000
Speaker 1: speaking as a RAMS analyst here, I'm speaking as an

1342
01:11:25,120 --> 01:11:28,960
Speaker 1: NFL analyst, Russell Russell Wilson. How much? How many plays

1343
01:11:28,960 --> 01:11:31,759
Speaker 1: does he make from the pocket? You don't so, Russell Wilson.

1344
01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:34,960
Speaker 1: You want Jared golf Russell Wilson. How many how many

1345
01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:36,800
Speaker 1: interceptions did he throw? When they when they went on?

1346
01:11:36,840 --> 01:11:40,000
Speaker 1: There's the last three four games he threw ten? Well

1347
01:11:40,040 --> 01:11:41,960
Speaker 1: he did? He get the good with the bad. You

1348
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:43,400
Speaker 1: get the good with the bad. If he gets hot,

1349
01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:48,240
Speaker 1: you're good. Like I'd rather take Aaron Rodgers over over Um, well,

1350
01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:50,240
Speaker 1: let me not say Aaron Rodgers is him and past Mahomes.

1351
01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:51,920
Speaker 1: On another level, let me give you another quarterback. Let

1352
01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:57,040
Speaker 1: me think I'd rather take Matt Ryan. Uh, I'd rather

1353
01:11:57,080 --> 01:12:04,000
Speaker 1: take Matt Ryan over Russell over. That's tough. Because Russell

1354
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:06,880
Speaker 1: throws from the poet Russell special, but he has bad games,

1355
01:12:06,960 --> 01:12:09,720
Speaker 1: Like I don't know, like did I just I prefer consistency.

1356
01:12:10,600 --> 01:12:12,760
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't like the streaky guys. Give me

1357
01:12:12,840 --> 01:12:14,640
Speaker 1: Drew Brees. Give me Drew Brees who doesn't throw the

1358
01:12:14,640 --> 01:12:17,960
Speaker 1: ball over twenty yards, but he's consistent week after week

1359
01:12:18,040 --> 01:12:20,800
Speaker 1: after week. Or give me Teddy Bridgewater. I'll take Teddy

1360
01:12:20,840 --> 01:12:23,320
Speaker 1: Beads over a lot of these quarterbacks. I know what

1361
01:12:23,360 --> 01:12:25,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get week after weekend. I can game planning

1362
01:12:25,280 --> 01:12:30,000
Speaker 1: for it. You want Kyler Murray or Matt Ryan. I'll

1363
01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:32,519
Speaker 1: take Matt Ryan all day. And people are like, you're crazy,

1364
01:12:32,520 --> 01:12:34,600
Speaker 1: But Kyler Murray. Right now, listen, I'm gonna tell you

1365
01:12:34,680 --> 01:12:38,080
Speaker 1: why Kyler Murray leaves his team into rushing and rushing touchtoff.

1366
01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:41,320
Speaker 1: He's a running back playing quarterback. Like he throws the ball.

1367
01:12:41,320 --> 01:12:43,559
Speaker 1: He doesn't he's doing He's doing when Lamar did last year.

1368
01:12:44,680 --> 01:12:46,920
Speaker 1: But you have to win from the pocket, man. If

1369
01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:48,880
Speaker 1: you can't win from the pocket in this game, you

1370
01:12:48,920 --> 01:12:51,280
Speaker 1: will never win. When you went to the super Bowl,

1371
01:12:51,479 --> 01:12:54,080
Speaker 1: this starting with me just saying I hope you're doing well.

1372
01:12:55,200 --> 01:12:58,800
Speaker 1: It started with you saying something negative about my team

1373
01:12:58,960 --> 01:13:02,000
Speaker 1: and the running backs and talking about these quarterbacks. Man,

1374
01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:04,200
Speaker 1: I just again, I tell you, I just can't pay everybody.

1375
01:13:04,240 --> 01:13:07,799
Speaker 1: I'm not paying Zeke Elliott. I'm not paying Zeke Elliott.

1376
01:13:08,040 --> 01:13:09,960
Speaker 1: I'm not who's running back? Are? You're not gonna play

1377
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:14,920
Speaker 1: Christian McAffrey after what he's what he's done. Getn't played Hesdak?

1378
01:13:14,960 --> 01:13:17,519
Speaker 1: Would you say, do you pay Dak? Yes? Because he's

1379
01:13:17,560 --> 01:13:20,760
Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback and you gotta have if you don't

1380
01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:23,160
Speaker 1: have a franchise quarterback to draft those guys in the

1381
01:13:23,200 --> 01:13:25,680
Speaker 1: fourth round, Man, don't give me that. That's where they

1382
01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:28,280
Speaker 1: got him. Graft those guys. Draft those guys in the

1383
01:13:28,320 --> 01:13:32,240
Speaker 1: sixth round. I don't want to hear Bruis grabbing a

1384
01:13:32,360 --> 01:13:34,160
Speaker 1: running back in the first Give me your running back

1385
01:13:34,200 --> 01:13:36,200
Speaker 1: in the first round. I'm gonna get him for five years.

1386
01:13:36,400 --> 01:13:38,320
Speaker 1: Then I'll let someone else paying if he's not special.

1387
01:13:38,360 --> 01:13:40,640
Speaker 1: But if he's a magical player like Alvin Kamara or

1388
01:13:40,720 --> 01:13:44,920
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey or Dalvin Cook, I'm gonna make those I see,

1389
01:13:45,040 --> 01:13:47,519
Speaker 1: this is my concerned. I gotta go, I gotta go.

1390
01:13:48,800 --> 01:13:50,960
Speaker 1: I appreciate the conversation, all right, I love you all right,

1391
01:13:51,080 --> 01:13:53,200
