1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,320 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Aaron Rodgers season in Green Bay has been 3 00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 1: compared to Michael Jordan's documentary The Last Dance. It was 4 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 1: Rogers and Vante Adams maybe riding off into the sunset 5 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: like MJ and Pippin did in their final Bulls season. 6 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,640 Speaker 1: Of course, Chicago won the title that year. Green Bay 7 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,280 Speaker 1: would take that, but if you watch the last episode, 8 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 1: you know the Bulls dynasty fell apart the following year. Well, yesterday, 9 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 1: Packer fans got a glimpse of the future without Aaron Rodgers. 10 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,040 Speaker 1: Safe to say not pretty. Second year player Jordan Love 11 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: got the start. He struggled, but to be fair, it 12 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: was his first game. He'll get better. But the game 13 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: was a subtle reminder of just how hard it will 14 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: be to replace Aaron Rodgers, whether it's next season or 15 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: in three seasons. But it was a wild week, and 16 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 1: it's been a wild season for Green Bay. You get 17 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: the feeling that it will make for a great documentary someday, 18 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: maybe a thirty for thirty. Everyone in Green Bay hopes 19 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: the twenty one portion has a happy ending, even if 20 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: the franchise future looks uncertain. We'd Love to give grades. 21 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: After a draft, you give a grade how your team did. 22 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: Give a grade after a game, you give a grade. 23 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: I would say incomplete for Jordan Love, and you could 24 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,680 Speaker 1: use that variety of ways. He just looked timid, which 25 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: is understandable. That's a tough place to go and play. 26 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: But I think what happened yesterday is the focus was 27 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 1: on Jordan Love, but the spotlight still needs to be 28 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: on Kansas City because Patrick Mahomes had one hundred and 29 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 1: sixty six yards midway through the fourth quarter passing Green 30 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 1: Bay was out without a couple of it's a starters 31 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: on defense. No, Aaron Rodgers Chiefs couldn't run the ball. 32 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: So while we can focus on Jordan Love, who we 33 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: expected to struggle, Kan's City Chiefs didn't look good at all. 34 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: If Rogers played yesterday, we're talking about something different. But 35 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: you're watching Kansas City, you're watching Patrick Mahomes. Troy Aikman 36 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,679 Speaker 1: brought it up. Why aren't you taking the seven yard completion? 37 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: It's right there going for the home run. And it 38 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: goes back to the analogy I've used with Steph Curry. Hey, 39 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 1: Steph stopped taking threes. We want you to go inside. Yeah, 40 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 1: but I shoot threes. Patrick mahomes Hey stopped throwing the 41 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: home run ball. Take what they give you, and he 42 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: seems to struggle with that. But they held on for 43 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 1: dear life against a Green Bay team that could muster 44 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: very little offense there. I thought Jordan Love looked a 45 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: little bit better late in the game, but that's almost 46 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,679 Speaker 1: that desperation time where Matt Lafloor probably said, just try 47 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: to make something happen. But he did look timid. I 48 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: was surprised they didn't run the ball more against Kansas City. 49 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,920 Speaker 1: Maybe give him a little bit of a breather there. 50 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: And if I'm a Chiefs fan, I don't feel good 51 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: about that win at all. If I'm Green Bay, okay, 52 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: I didn't expect to win. You want to see a 53 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: glimpse of greatness. But you know, trying to figure out 54 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: this week for a Green Bay Packer fan pretty tough 55 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: because what Rogers said, now you're kind of stuck in limbo. 56 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: This next game. You got Seattle coming up, and that'll 57 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 1: be at home. Is Jordan Loved going to play there? 58 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: But look, Aaron Rodgers said what he said on Friday, 59 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: that's what he believes. I said this a couple and 60 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,239 Speaker 1: I'm trying to think what day we talked about this. 61 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: I brought it up that in his mind, he probably 62 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: thought that he was vaccinated in his mind, and that's 63 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: what turns out. In his mind, he thought that he 64 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: was safe. Okay, now I have to look at the 65 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: football fallout. Whatever you want to talk about with Aaron Rodgers, 66 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: it's become political. I don't want to make it political. 67 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: I make it about football. Aaron Rodgers is still not there. 68 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: I told you as somebody close to this said that 69 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: they're not going to suspend him. He's probably going to 70 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: be fine. The Packs are probably going to be fine. 71 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: They were complicit in this as well. Now let's look 72 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: at just the football portion of this, and that is 73 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: it looks like Jordan Love is going to play against Seattle. 74 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: I don't know if Seattle is going to get Odell Beckham, 75 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: but looks like they're at the top of the list. 76 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: The Saints probably in there as well, maybe one other team. Also, 77 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: one thing to keep in mind when it comes to 78 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham, we're going to find out by Tuesday at 79 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: four o'clock if he clears waivers, and then he might 80 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 1: be able to pick the team that he wants. The 81 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: last two years of Odell Beckham's deal were taken off 82 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 1: the contract by the Browns, so he's a free agent 83 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 1: in March. If somebody gets him this week, then that 84 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: team will be in a position to give him a 85 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: long term contract, which is probably what's going to happen. 86 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: See the way he played it, and I thought that 87 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: this was what he was trying to do, is I 88 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: want to get out of here. I want to go 89 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 1: to someplace else. I want to pick where I want 90 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: to go, and then I'm going to get a new contract. 91 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: That might be how this plays out for Odell Beckham. 92 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: He might be in uniform for Seattle in that game 93 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: against Green Bay if that's where he ends up. If 94 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: you would have said, you know, Kansas City was going 95 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,919 Speaker 1: to win, but score thirteen points, I would have went, oh, 96 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 1: that's not good. The Buffalo Bills scoring six points in Jacksonville. Oh. 97 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: The Dallas Cowboys down thirty to nothing at home to Denver. Oh, 98 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: welcome to the NFL weekend and week out. Where you go, wait, 99 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: what's happening. That's the way it was yesterday. You know, 100 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 1: the Raiders losing. The Giants didn't surprise me. You know, 101 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: the Giants are not bad, and they're at home, and 102 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: the Giants usually do this will They'll go on a 103 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: run about four or five games. With everything the Raiders 104 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 1: have been through, and you're going to travel cross country. 105 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,359 Speaker 1: I'm not surprised at that at all. I said, I 106 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: had a weird feeling about the Jags against the Bills. 107 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 1: They were fifteen and a half point underdogs and won 108 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: that game. I was shocked, shocked with what Denver did 109 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: in Dallas. We'll talk to Edward or Covers the Cowboys, 110 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 1: the Titans going to the Rams, and you bring in 111 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,919 Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson, he scores a touchdown and you man handle 112 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 1: the Rams. That game decided in the first quarter back 113 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 1: to back interceptions with Matthew Stafford. And look at what 114 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:28,239 Speaker 1: my Titans have done. They've defeated the Bills, Chiefs, Colts, 115 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: and Rams. Those are all playoff teamster Titan. Yes, that 116 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: was my dark course for the Super Bowl. And then 117 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: of course you know you got Derrick Henry going down. 118 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson. I guess was deciding between dancing with the 119 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: stars or dancing with the Titans, and he chose the Titans. Here, Oh, 120 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: the NFL. It just keeps on giving. By the way, 121 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,919 Speaker 1: I got updated Super Bowl odds.

Then it's the Rams, The 131 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: Titans and the Cardinals are tied. Then it's the Packers, 132 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: Ravens and the Dallas Cowboys. The Chiefs are in there 133 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: after that, followed by the Chargers. We're at the halfway point, 134 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: and I don't know if anybody has a handle on 135 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: just how good or how bad somebody is, because Jags 136 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: didn't think they were that good, but playing at home 137 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: and they have a pretty good defense, couldn't muster any 138 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: offense there. But this is another one of those games 139 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: that I should be looking at the Jags and giving 140 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: them credit. But I'd look at Buffalo because Buffalo is 141 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: so uneven that they have these moments where you go, 142 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: they're the best team in the AFC, and then there 143 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: are other moments where you go, they're so self reliant 144 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: on Josh Allen, they don't have a running game, and 145 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: that offense was anemic yesterday Dallas Cowboys. That's no excuse. 146 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: You know, Denver gets rid of von Miller and then 147 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: goes in there and shut you down. Titans going to LA. 148 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: I thought the Eagles were going to beat the Chargers 149 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: and nearly did. But that's a bigger picture story there 150 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 1: with what's going on with the Eagles here this next season, 151 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: because heads are probably gonna roll somewhere. Yes, McLevin, do 152 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: you buy any of the theory that the NFL has 153 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,439 Speaker 1: figured out Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen just play your 154 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: safety's way back, take away the big play, and it's 155 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: harder for them to do their thing. Well, I don't 156 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: know if I look at Josh Allen the same way 157 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: I do Patrick Mahomes, but I do think defense is like, 158 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 1: it just makes sense. This a quick strike offense. All 159 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: I want to do is make sure I keep everything 160 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: in front because they're so used to getting on the 161 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: field and having a three minute drive and then getting 162 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: a touchdown. I want you to adapt. I want you 163 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: to play our style of football. If I'm a defense 164 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: and not everybody can do this, but you know I 165 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 1: don't have to blitz. I can have four guys rush. 166 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 1: I don't think the offensive line is still that good. 167 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: I want Patrick Mahomes to be patient, and I don't 168 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: know if he can be because of what has happened 169 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: before in his career. They have weapons, but there's still 170 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 1: some big question marks there. I came away thinking more 171 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:42,559 Speaker 1: about Kansas City than I did Green Bay yesterday. Now 172 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: let me see Jordan Love play a home game and 173 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 1: see how he does, you know, getting that one game. 174 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 1: And I'm not going to give you a referendum on 175 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 1: Jordan Love. Is he going to be an NFL starter? 176 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: I think he has talent, but I wanted to see 177 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 1: him be able to be a little bit more of 178 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 1: the quarterback who was at Utah stay and we didn't 179 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: see that yesterday, but you know, they came in and 180 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: almost won that game. So I came away feeling a 181 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: little bit better about Green Bay. Than I did about 182 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,839 Speaker 1: Kansas City. All Right, we'll come up with the poll question. 183 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: We got our play of the day, stat of the 184 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: day mclovin. What are you gonna go with today? Okay, 185 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: We're gonna go start with worst loss and we'll include 186 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: college football to put the Michigan State Spartans, Lucuperdue, Wake 187 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:29,079 Speaker 1: Forest loses their undefeated season a heartbreak in North Carolina, 188 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: The Bills, the aforementioned Bills, the Cowboys. That now here's 189 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: I wonder if you put these two teams on the poll, 190 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: the Rams and the forty nine ers. I'm not going 191 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: to put the Niners on there. The Rams, I would 192 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,079 Speaker 1: put them on there because they're one of the top 193 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 1: four Super Bowl teams. The Cowboys, to me, was the 194 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: most shocking. I don't know if people will view it 195 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,239 Speaker 1: that way. They'll probably look at the Bills losing at Jacksonville's. 196 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: That's one of the biggest road favorite teams to lose 197 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: in NFL history. Wake Forest. I'm not surprised Michigan State 198 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: Perdue does this. I'm not surprised at Michigan State, so 199 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 1: I would say it's either the Bills or the Cowboys. 200 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,559 Speaker 1: I was surprised at the Cowboys. I was shocked because 201 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: I kept thinking, wait, you're getting shut out at home. 202 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 1: But here's the thing. The Patriots are on the heels 203 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,839 Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. And we might not look at how, 204 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: you know, like how the Patriots look aesthetically, but there's 205 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: still the Patriots. They got a good quarterback, they have 206 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,199 Speaker 1: a good defense, good secondary, and you got Bill Belichick. 207 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 1: I think they're a playoff team. Thought that at the 208 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: beginning of the year. They've been uneven as well. Buffalo 209 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: can't afford to be slipping up with games like this. 210 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: Dallas is in a bad division. They can afford a loss. 211 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: But you know it's one of those. Is this a 212 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: good loss for Dallas? I don't know. We'll talk to 213 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: ed Warder about that. Where you get that oh hey, 214 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,079 Speaker 1: we wanna you know, you get that reminder of, hey, 215 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:00,719 Speaker 1: you're not as good as you think you are, as 216 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: good as your record is. What else do you have? Mclovin, Okay, uh, 217 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 1: this is an odd pole. You might find it odd, 218 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: But who is leading the handsome coaching power rankings? Cliff Kingsbury, 219 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,959 Speaker 1: Sean McVay, Matt Lafloor. And this is a polarizing one. 220 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: But Kyle Shanahan, I think he's a pretty good looking man. 221 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: But is it possible that Cliff Kingsbury is all that 222 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 1: and more? After the Cardinals won with Culpacoy, I'm going 223 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 1: to hold off on answering that question for maybe another 224 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: week or another year, or when I'm returning photos that 225 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: I should put up on the website. I don't think 226 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: we're that desperate on a Monday, after what we had 227 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 1: yesterday to be discussing the handsome head coaching rankings right now. 228 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 1: But I do appreciate you bringing that to my attention. Yes, 229 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 1: there are some stories of though that are just too important. 230 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: You mean that it's too important? Yeah, oh it is. 231 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,839 Speaker 1: I'll go Cliff Kingsbury all day, you know, especially when 232 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,439 Speaker 1: the sun is on him. You know, San Francisco always 233 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: got a nice tan, Yes he does. I like how 234 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 1: he got into it with one of the guys on 235 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, like they were trash talking on 236 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: the sidelines, and like, boy, yes, Paul, by the way, 237 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: coaches trash talking. Nobody's safer than a coach. You can't 238 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: hit him. He's like he's like I had a guard bearer, 239 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: you know, Pete Carroll should be on the handsome coach thing. 240 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,439 Speaker 1: If you think about it, looks to age ratio. He's 241 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: seventy years old, Dan, he looks really good. Yeah, he does. 242 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 1: Just saying the ratio. Let's take a break here and 243 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: we'll come up with our play of the day shouldn't 244 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: be underappreciated. Though. Matt Laflour kind of taking some of 245 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 1: the slings and arrows for Jordan Love yesterday. That's also 246 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: very appealing. Be sure to catch the live edition of 247 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: The Dan Patrick Show week days at nine am Eastern 248 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: six am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeart 249 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: Radio WAPP. Let's bring an ed Warder who covers the 250 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: Cowboys ESPN NFL reporter. What's your reaction to that, Ed, Yeah, 251 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: I think good morning, Dan. I think you know, as 252 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott once said, the Cowboys were probably guilty of 253 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 1: sniffing themselves going into this game. I mean, I think 254 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: they had every right to feel confident. They were playing 255 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: at home, they had a six game winning streak, Dak 256 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: Prescott was returning, they were averaging forty points a game 257 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: at home. You know, they're playing a Broncos team that's 258 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: lost four out of five. They hadn't had a single 259 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: win against the quality opponent all year, and you know 260 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: they're coming off a week in which they're going through 261 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: the upheaval of wondering if the front office through their 262 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: season away because the new GM there, George Peyton, traded 263 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 1: Von Miller, the greatest defensive player in franchise history, and 264 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: so there were all kinds of questions about the Broncos 265 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 1: and very few about the Cowboys. And then Dak Prescott 266 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: came out and had one of the worst games of 267 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: his career. His completion percentage was the word he came 268 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: in as leading the NFL and completion percentage. This was 269 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: the lowest completion percentage game he had since he was 270 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: a rookie against the Giants in a game that ended 271 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: an eleven game winning streak, and what he did yesterday 272 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: ended a six game winning streak. Does you know sometimes 273 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: we look at a loss and it's a standalone loss, 274 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: but are there things there? And you're playing in an 275 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: easy division or an easier division, and I don't know 276 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: if there's that there's no sense of urgency here, but 277 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: is this an aberration or do you think there's something 278 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: a little more to this, Yeah, I think. I think 279 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: until proven otherwise, it's an aberration. But they still have 280 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 1: to prove that this is a standalone bad performance and 281 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 1: ugly loss. It's up to them to demonstrate that. We 282 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: reserve the right to reevaluate and change our opinion. Right now, 283 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: I still think I went into the game thinking the 284 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: Cowboys are one of the best teams in the NFC. 285 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 1: I still think they're one of the best teams in 286 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: the league. But if they go do this this weekend 287 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 1: against the Falcons in a game that's going to mean 288 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: an awful lot to the defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, who 289 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: got fired there last year as a head coach, then 290 00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: I might have a different opinion as to what this 291 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 1: team's capable of. But right now I still think they're 292 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: a legitimate Super Bowl contender. When did you realize it 293 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: was not going to be dallass this day? Well, I 294 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: thought it was an odd decision. You know, we've seen 295 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy follow the analytics and be very averse to 296 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: field goals, and he didn't take one on either of 297 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 1: their first two possessions, which the Broncos interpreted as they 298 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: took offense to it. They thought it was arrogance on 299 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: the part of the Cowboys, and you know, Teddy Bridgewater 300 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: and all the other players that you spoke to after 301 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 1: the game made the same point that that motivated us. 302 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: We were pretty upset by that. And they did score 303 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: ten points immediately after. The Cowboys failed on fourth down 304 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: what four different times in the game, the most in 305 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: twenty years that they took that chance. Sometimes they were 306 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: forced into it, but you know, I just think it 307 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: was a bad day from and were a lot of 308 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: weird things that happened in the game to their detriment. 309 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: I mean, they start the game with a fifty four 310 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 1: yard kickoff turn by Tony Pollard, so they have they're 311 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: on the Broncos side of the field to start the game, 312 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: and they don't score with it, and you know, then 313 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 1: they get an interception by Jordan Lewis as negated by 314 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: a Treyvon Digg's penalty, and then they have the block 315 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,199 Speaker 1: kick to start the second half and the Broncos end 316 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: of the field and they don't get the ball in 317 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 1: a situation that almost never happens. I mean, the rookie 318 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 1: Nashon Wright is kind of the modern day Leon Lett 319 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 1: for touching a ball that could have been the Cowboys 320 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: if they just let it alone. And you can't really 321 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,159 Speaker 1: expect a rookie to know that and make that decision 322 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 1: when the ball bounces up in his face, he doesn't 323 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,400 Speaker 1: know where he is relative to the line of scrimmage. 324 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 1: I totally get that. But that was just a you know, 325 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 1: a confluence of odd things that happened, and they didn't 326 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 1: benefit from any of them, and so you kind of 327 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: got the sense it was that kind of day. I 328 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 1: would say relative to the bite you play to open 329 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 1: the press conferenation or Dak Prescott he said something similar 330 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: in that, you know, hey, sometimes you come off a 331 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 1: win like we had in Minnesota with your backup quarterback, 332 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: you think you could just roll out there and get 333 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 1: it done. And so I think that tells you everything 334 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 1: about the level of overconfidence that they had. And you know, 335 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: it seemed to me they cared a lot more about 336 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 1: playing well in the last five minutes when they were 337 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,159 Speaker 1: trying to avoid the shutout then they did when they 338 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 1: were in the previous fifty five minutes when they might 339 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 1: have been trying to win the game. Can Dallas out 340 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 1: coach other teams, I don't know. I think you know, 341 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: I think Mike McCarthy is questionable in terms of some 342 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 1: of the decisions he makes. In terms of game management, 343 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 1: I think, you know, Kellen Moore, the offensive coordinators, demonstrated 344 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 1: that he's really creative play caller and knows how to 345 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 1: use their personnelity create favorable matchups. In same for Dan Quinn. 346 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 1: You know, I think he's taken the worst defense in 347 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: franchise history and turned it into something really at least average. 348 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 1: Kind of the Kansas City Chief's philosophy. When you know 349 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 1: they were been winning the last three years. Be great 350 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: on offense, be average on defense, take the ball away, 351 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: create some short fields and extra possessions, which which brings 352 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: me to this point. Dan, you know, they went they 353 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: had ten straight games where they created multiple turnovers. In 354 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,360 Speaker 1: the last two weeks, they've created no turnovers on defense, 355 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 1: and they scored twenty points one week and sixteen points 356 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,360 Speaker 1: the next week. Where do you think the Cowboys rank 357 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 1: in the NFC hierarchy. I tend to think they're probably 358 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: not as good as the Rams, and they'll get to 359 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 1: play the Cardinals, so we'll see that matchup there. I 360 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 1: don't think they're probably as good as the Cardinals. I 361 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,679 Speaker 1: covered the Cardinals at Tennessee, and I thought they were 362 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: really impressive in the best game i'd seen Tyler Murray 363 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: play live. I think they're probably, you know, somewhere around 364 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: where the Packers are. They're probably third or fourth. But 365 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,880 Speaker 1: one interesting thing, you know, you talked about this PNN aberration, 366 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: and again I think it is the one interesting thing 367 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: to watch is the fact that Vic Fangio and Brandon Staley, 368 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,239 Speaker 1: the Chargers first year head coach, they coached together on 369 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 1: defense in Denver until Staley got the job, and they 370 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:54,679 Speaker 1: have a shared defensive philosophy. And yesterday Fangio said, I 371 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,159 Speaker 1: just don't think a lot of teams played the Cowboys 372 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 1: the right way, and so that bears watch from the 373 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 1: standpoint of the Cowboys. One When they played the Chargers 374 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: at Sandy or at Los Angeles in the second week 375 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: of the season, but they only scored twenty points, that 376 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: was the fewest points they'd scored in any Dak Prescott start, 377 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 1: and then yesterday, facing many of the same defensive challenges 378 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: from Fangio, they only scored sixteen points. So maybe there 379 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 1: is something of a blueprint out there. Dak when asked 380 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,159 Speaker 1: about it after the games that I hope everybody you 381 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 1: know plays us the way these two teams have played us. 382 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,679 Speaker 1: But the facts speak for themselves. They didn't handle, you know, 383 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 1: the coverages being disguised. They didn't get blitzed. They make 384 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 1: a living off getting blitz and making big plays. They 385 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 1: took that away from the Cowboys. And again Dak had 386 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 1: a really bad day throwing the football and he didn't 387 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 1: get help from his receivers who dropped a lot of 388 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 1: past So what is that blueprint? The blueprint is play 389 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 1: two high safeties. Changed the look at the right in 390 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,120 Speaker 1: appre when he's making his pre snappered at the line 391 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 1: of scrimmage. Get four man pressure, don't blitz. The Broncos 392 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: blitz was the fewest blitz is a dac had seen 393 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 1: all you're he'd been one of the most blitz quarterbacks 394 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 1: in the NFL. So get pressure with four and disguise coverages, 395 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: play coverage and take away the big play. That seems 396 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,880 Speaker 1: to be what the Chargers who had success even though 397 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,160 Speaker 1: they lost the game, and what Victanjio did yesterday. Great 398 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: to talk to you is always ed. Thank you, thanks 399 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: for the invite.

Carson, 415 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: Good morning. What should we have been looking for with 416 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 1: Jordan Love yesterday? Well, the Packers organization has a massive 417 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 1: decision to make, as we all know, at the end 418 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 1: of this season, and that was the worst case scenario. 419 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 1: I mean, all Jordan had to do was go out 420 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: and complete twenty of thirty two passes for two hundred 421 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 1: and fifty yards and two touchdowns. Unfortunately, they were enepped 422 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 1: on offense. They couldn't hardly move the ball. He'd looked 423 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 1: like a rookie in his first opportunity to get on 424 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,919 Speaker 1: the field. He had no rhythm, no timing. There's a 425 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: couple of balls that he threw the Davante Adams that 426 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 1: DeVante was the most confused guy on the field. It 427 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: just it was worst case scenario. All he had to do. 428 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 1: He didn't have to go out, you know, and light 429 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: it up like Aaron did in his first chance to 430 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,360 Speaker 1: play after Brett Farve left. You know, Aaron went out 431 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,919 Speaker 1: and put on a show. He didn't have to do that. 432 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 1: He just needed to go out and move the ball 433 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 1: and look somewhat successful. Unfortunately it went the opposite direction. 434 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,199 Speaker 1: They couldn't move the ball. The Packers have a massive 435 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: decision to make at the end of this year and 436 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: now if Aaron comes back. You know, right before next 437 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,119 Speaker 1: week's game against Seattle, it was so bad on offense, 438 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: you can't if Aaron is available to play, he has 439 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 1: to play to keep them in the playoff hunt for 440 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,639 Speaker 1: that number one seed in the NFC. If they have 441 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: to go with Jordan again, it looks like they may 442 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: not may not be able to beat a Russell Wilson 443 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 1: less Seahawk team. But also I was wondering that you 444 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 1: knew they were gonna blitz if you're Matt Lafloor, and 445 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,199 Speaker 1: why not run the ball more? Or could could the 446 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: play calling have been smarter for George Love? You know, 447 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: it's also on the floor. Lafleur was there when they 448 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 1: made that first round pick for Jordan Love, so it 449 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: was only two coach Lafour's benefit for Jordan to go 450 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,679 Speaker 1: out and have success and move the ball. So you know, 451 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: I would have assumed that Matt Lafleur would have put 452 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:22,160 Speaker 1: Jordan in the most advantageous situation possible, give him as 453 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: much success as he can, get him as comfortable as 454 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,120 Speaker 1: he can by running the football, by throwing more screens, 455 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: getting him some easier passes. And when they did run 456 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: the football, Aaron Jones looked pretty good. He had a 457 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: couple of nice big runs, but they just didn't stick 458 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 1: to it. They kind of felt like Kansas City was 459 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,199 Speaker 1: going to hang thirty or forty points on him. So 460 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 1: they needed to throw the ball. It was an odd 461 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 1: game plan and really an unsuccessful day for the Packers organization. Yeah, 462 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 1: but I think the bigger picture and nobody's going to 463 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: focus on this Carson is Kansas City. Kansas City didn't 464 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 1: look good against Green Bay at home without Aaron Rodgers. 465 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:03,239 Speaker 1: Kansas City hasn't look good in a month. They're a 466 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 1: team that we have given them a long leash. We 467 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 1: keep saying they're gonna be fine, They're gonna be fine, 468 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 1: They're gonna be fine. But now we're going on a 469 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,719 Speaker 1: month long of saying they're gonna be fine, They're going 470 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: to figure it out. They have not figured it out. 471 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 1: There were opportunities to run the ball where they just 472 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: needed to be a little more consistent with the running game, 473 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: and they had some success early. But they just keep 474 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 1: wanting that big splash play, that big long play to 475 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, that big long completion to Travis Kelsey. They're 476 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,640 Speaker 1: not getting him. Kelsey, you know, you don't know what's 477 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,919 Speaker 1: going on. There were some dropped passes. He was jumping 478 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,199 Speaker 1: off sides left and right. He doesn't look like an 479 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 1: established veteran. He doesn't look comfortable. Mahomes doesn't look comfortable. 480 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,640 Speaker 1: I think there's definitely reason to be concerned in Kansas City. 481 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 1: But we're starting to see defenses almost look at a 482 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,199 Speaker 1: blueprint against Kansas City, and it felt like Denver's defense 483 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: did the same thing against Dallas. We're gonna play deep, 484 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,440 Speaker 1: we're gonna make you do everything underneath here, and we're 485 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: gonna try to put pressure on you. And it was 486 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,880 Speaker 1: very successful for Denver yesterday in one of the bigger surprises. 487 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 1: How do you explain what happened to Dallas? Yeah, I 488 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 1: think those two fourth down calls on fourth and one 489 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,399 Speaker 1: were you know, we're the first one. McCarthy thinks, all right, 490 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give it to Ezekiel Elliott and he'll get 491 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: one yard. He's always done it throughout his career. Sure enough, 492 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 1: he gets stuffed, Denver's going the other way with the ball, 493 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,439 Speaker 1: and then McCarthy said, all right, I'm gonna put it 494 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: in my other best player on my team's hands and 495 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 1: Dax hands on fourth and one or fourth and two, 496 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: and he throws an arrant pass. I mean, it was 497 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 1: kind of one of those games where as a head coach, 498 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 1: you're giving it to your two best players, putting it 499 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 1: in their hands to find a way to get a 500 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 1: first down. They weren't able to do it. Shockingly, nobody 501 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 1: expected after that Von Miller trade and kind of the 502 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 1: down couple weeks that Denver's had over this last month, 503 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 1: nobody thought that was going to happen. And Denver just 504 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 1: flat out out played Dallas from play one to the 505 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 1: last play of the game. How do you explain the 506 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 1: Bills going to Jacksonville? Oh, just turnovers? I mean, it 507 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,400 Speaker 1: was it was you know, it was tough to watch. 508 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: There were some nice plays that Buffalo was making, but 509 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: Josh was just getting careless with the ball. He had 510 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: a couple of fumbles, he had a couple of interceptions. 511 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,959 Speaker 1: And when you've got a desperate, hungry team like they 512 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: are in Jacksonville, they're just searching for anything. They'll they'll 513 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: take whatever they can get. If you continuously give them 514 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,640 Speaker 1: the ball and turn the ball over, it just goes 515 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,160 Speaker 1: to show you you've got to protect the football because 516 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: some of the best teams in the league can lose 517 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: to one of the worst teams in the league if 518 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:33,959 Speaker 1: they don't protect the football. And they didn't do that. 519 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: But what's it like when you go out on the 520 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:40,400 Speaker 1: field against an inferior opponent, and you have to keep 521 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 1: telling yourself that we can't take them lightly. But players still, 522 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 1: teams still to do take the opposition lately. Yeah, Buffalo 523 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 1: got off the bus yesterday walking into the stadium knowing 524 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 1: they had more talent on their bus than the other 525 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: team did, and they played like it. They looked flat. 526 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 1: They had some silly mistakes. Like I said, Josh was 527 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 1: careless with the ball. And Jacksonville they're key marquee players. 528 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,640 Speaker 1: The Jacksonville's Josh Allen made plays. He had he had 529 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 1: a sack, he had a fumble recovery, he had an interception. 530 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 1: You saw Trevor Lawrence making some really nice plays. The 531 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:22,400 Speaker 1: five star players in Jacksonville. Jacksonville played like five star players. 532 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 1: The elite players in Buffalo did not play like the 533 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 1: five star elite players that they were. I think midway 534 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 1: through the fourth quarter, Stefan Diggs had two or three catches. 535 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,400 Speaker 1: I mean, it was just one of those days for Buffalo. 536 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,120 Speaker 1: They need to forget about that. They need to wash 537 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 1: their hands of it. They need to learn from it 538 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 1: and move on. Talking to Carson Palmer, former NFL VET 539 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 1: joining US courtesy of level select CBD. Baker Mayfield spread 540 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 1: the wealth. He had fourteen completions to eight different receivers. 541 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 1: They ran the football, played some pretty good defense. Here 542 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 1: Are they better without Odell Beckham with what they want 543 00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 1: to do offensively? I think they are. I mean, when 544 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 1: you have a when you are a young quarterback like 545 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 1: Baker is, and you have this almost an icon in 546 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham, that's a weight on your shoulders that you 547 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 1: have to carry. That is something in the back of 548 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 1: your mind as you're calling the play in the huddle 549 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 1: and you're you're scanning the huddle and you see Odell's eyes, 550 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 1: you naturally know, Okay, I gotta find a way to 551 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: get in the ball. I gotta keep him happy. I 552 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: gotta keep feeding him even if the coverage doesn't dictate 553 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 1: the ball going to him. I need to get the 554 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 1: ball in his hands. But did you just throw this 555 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: at Cincinnati when you first got there, of keeping somebody 556 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,959 Speaker 1: happy all the time? I mean I had Terrell Owens 557 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 1: in one side of the huddle and Chatochosinko in the other, 558 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 1: and I knew that both of those guys. I mean, 559 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 1: the receiver position, you can feel, you can feel non existent. 560 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 1: If the ball isn't in your hands, if you're just 561 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 1: consistently running routes and turning and watching and seeing the 562 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 1: ball go to other players, you can feel like you're 563 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: never part of the game. And certain players like Odell, 564 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: like Chatto Chosinko, I knew from a mindset position, I 565 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: knew I needed to get the in Chad's hands. I 566 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 1: knew TiO needed to touch the ball at some point 567 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: in the first half, probably the first quarter. That's the 568 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 1: same thing with Odell. O'Dell need He's a rhythm player. 569 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 1: Once he gets in a rhythm, he gets harder and 570 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 1: harder to cover. But he needs the ball in his 571 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 1: hands to get in that rhythm. And you just watch 572 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 1: in that game yesterday, you just felt like this massive 573 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,719 Speaker 1: elephant was off of the back of Baker Mayfield. I mean, 574 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 1: he had so much mental energy over the last two 575 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 1: years trying to think of ways to keep him involved 576 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 1: in the game plan and get the ball in his hands, 577 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 1: and you just saw him them let it loose. I 578 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,959 Speaker 1: mean they had big play after big play. I mean 579 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: People's had the seventy reception, Chub had a sixty or 580 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: seventy yard run. You just kind of felt watching that 581 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 1: game that the best team on the field, without question 582 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 1: was Cleveland Browns. And I think going into that game, 583 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 1: I was thinking the best team on that field that 584 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: day was the Cincinnati Bengals, and they proved me wrong. 585 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 1: I got to put you in the Hall of Fame 586 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 1: for just putting up with Chad Ocho Cinco and Tarall 587 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:05,239 Speaker 1: Owens in the same huddle. Who was tougher? I loved it. 588 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 1: I mean it was constant comedy in practice, and there 589 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 1: was some highs and lows and ups and downs, but 590 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 1: that's the game. But hearing those two guys tell you 591 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 1: while you're calling a play that I'm open, I'm open. 592 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, we're calling a running play. We'll get 593 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 1: you on the next one. But yeah, I mean, those 594 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 1: those two, those two mouths and those two trash talkers 595 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 1: were a lot of fun to play with. But but 596 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 1: how did you did it get to the point where 597 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 1: it was disruptive to the team that they won the 598 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 1: ball all every time? No? And the reason it wasn't 599 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 1: was because those two guys practiced as hard as any 600 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 1: other player in the field every single day. I Mean, 601 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 1: TiO was a workhorse. Chad would go from the number 602 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 1: one offense practicing against the number two defense to when 603 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 1: the number two offense would go in, he would sub 604 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 1: himself in to get extra rept against the ones. So 605 00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,160 Speaker 1: I mean when you have when you have some guy 606 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 1: guys that have those kind of egos and those kind 607 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 1: of personalities, but they show up to work and they 608 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 1: work their butt off every day in practice, you let 609 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 1: all that other stuff go to the side because they 610 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 1: set the standard in practice. When when your best players 611 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 1: and your biggest egos work harder than everybody else, that's 612 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 1: a good situation to be in. Would you want Odell Beckham? 613 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:20,720 Speaker 1: I would because he's the kind of guy you can 614 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 1: throw a slant to and he can go sixty five yards. Now, 615 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 1: he needs the right pieces around him. He needs the 616 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 1: right play caller, the right head coach, the right receiver coach. 617 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 1: I mean that there's a lot that goes into controlling 618 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 1: and being able to be successful with that type of 619 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 1: player on your team. But from an ability standpoint, there 620 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 1: aren't many guys that can run the routes that he 621 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 1: can and make the plays that he can, So I 622 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 1: would take him. We had Ben Roethlisberger on last week. 623 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 1: He sounded relaxed, like this is Everything's good. I don't 624 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 1: know how much longer he's going to play, but feels 625 00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 1: like he's in a good spot there. Do you think, like, 626 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 1: I don't know if Ben is still he had a 627 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,480 Speaker 1: good year last year, which people forget about, but is 628 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 1: he still a formidable weapon in the NFL. Well, he's 629 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 1: definitely lost some velocity on the ball. He's lost some 630 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 1: pocket movement. He's lost some agility and ability to extend plays, 631 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 1: which which is what his forte was. I mean, that 632 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 1: was what he was so great at. But he's an 633 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,520 Speaker 1: absolute He's a winner. I mean, he finds ways to 634 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,040 Speaker 1: win games. And he may not have it velocity wise, 635 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 1: he may not have the deep ball that he used 636 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 1: to have, but he's still good enough to win games 637 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 1: for you. And they still are good enough on defense 638 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 1: that that defense can keep their offense in games where 639 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 1: it's close enough where you just give Ben one drive, 640 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 1: he needs a field goal, he's down by two, he 641 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 1: needs to touchdown, he's down by five. He's good enough 642 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 1: to win a game at the end of the game, 643 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:53,239 Speaker 1: which at the end of the day, that's all you 644 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 1: need in this league. But there's no doubt. I mean, 645 00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 1: it's it's the clock is ticking. His body is definitely 646 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 1: looking like it's thirty eight years old. But he's still 647 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,240 Speaker 1: been Ben Roethlisberger. He's got super Bowl championships, he's been 648 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 1: in big games, he's been in that moment. He's trying 649 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,279 Speaker 1: to win one last one on his way out the door. 650 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 1: I just don't know if they're good enough offensively, if 651 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 1: if the weapons he has around him are good enough 652 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,399 Speaker 1: to get them one more super Bowl win. I don't 653 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,560 Speaker 1: know who to trust in the AFC right now, because 654 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 1: I think the Titans have proven to be the best 655 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:27,359 Speaker 1: team considering who they've defeated. I just don't know if 656 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:31,000 Speaker 1: people would buy into them as the super Bowl favorite 657 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 1: right now. So who would you say that's the team 658 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,719 Speaker 1: that the team to beat in the AFC? Yeah, not 659 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 1: without not without I'm blinking on his name, Derek Henry 660 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,719 Speaker 1: running back now, Not without Derreck Henry. I mean that 661 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 1: game was an anomaly last night. I mean, there were 662 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,719 Speaker 1: some weird things that happened special teams wise, before you 663 00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,799 Speaker 1: knew it, they were up twenty one three. You know, 664 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson is a great option to have right now, 665 00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,480 Speaker 1: but he is not Derrick Henry. That team is built 666 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 1: upon Derreck Henry's shoulders. So um, they probably aren't the best. 667 00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 1: I still think even though that game was really really 668 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:10,000 Speaker 1: ugly in Jacksonville yesterday, I still think Buffalo is probably 669 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,040 Speaker 1: the favorite. They've got the best defense. At the end 670 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 1: of the day, that was a field goal kicking fest. 671 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,800 Speaker 1: They really they defense did not lose the game offensively. 672 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 1: They couldn't hold onto the ball. But you can you 673 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,520 Speaker 1: can see Josh Allen. He is up and down. He 674 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,280 Speaker 1: when he is hot, it is red hot. When he's cold, 675 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:28,960 Speaker 1: he was he was stone cold yesterday, but they were 676 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 1: still in the game. They still were just a field 677 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:35,240 Speaker 1: goal away. So um, the AFC is funky, no doubt, 678 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:36,920 Speaker 1: but I still think Buffalo is the team to beat 679 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 1: in the AFC. Great to talk to you as always, Carson, 680 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,239 Speaker 1: will talk to you next week. Sounds good. Thanks Dan,
