1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,400 Speaker 1: Sports Radio Our two. On this Monday, Dan and The 3 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 1: Dann stan Patrick Show covered a lot of ground in 4 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: the first hour, recapping the college football landscape. What's Oklahoma 5 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,799 Speaker 1: do now? What's ls you do now? A lot of 6 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: names for Oklahoma. Bob Stoop's going to coach them in 7 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,759 Speaker 1: the bowl game. Bob's nine years younger than Nick Saban. 8 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 1: Would Bob Stoops go back to Oklahoma? What about his 9 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: brother Mark, who coaches Kentucky? What about Josh Hypel played 10 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 1: quarterback at Oklahoma. I was looking at the buyout for 11 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,200 Speaker 1: Josh Hypel at Tennessee and I think it's around eight 12 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,879 Speaker 1: million dollars when Lane Kiffin left Tennessee. I think it 13 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,520 Speaker 1: was less than a million dollars when Lane Kiffin left 14 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: Tennessee to go to USC. I don't know who's paying 15 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 1: those buyouts, but if you really want somebody, And these 16 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,639 Speaker 1: appear to be desperate times for Oklahoma because I think 17 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: they were blindsided by all of this. And then when 18 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley said I'm not going to LSU. If you're 19 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: an Oklahoma fan, you're probably going Okay, And then all 20 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,039 Speaker 1: of a sudden twelve hours later, it's wait, he's not 21 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: going to LSU. No, He's going to USC. I was 22 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 1: told by a source that LSU offered him twelve million 23 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 1: dollars a year. I don't know what USC offered, but 24 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 1: it was good housing. Probably included eight seven seven three 25 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 1: d P show email addresstp at dan Patrick dot com, 26 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 1: Twitter handle at dp show, more phone calls, best and 27 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: worst to the weekend? What you saw that you liked 28 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 1: you didn't like. We had Pat forty on, he covers 29 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: college football for Sports Illustrated, and I was wondering, I 30 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: have not heard anybody say anything. I just wondered aloud, 31 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: is Lincoln Riley running to the PAC twelve or is 32 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: he running away from the SEC? And that might be 33 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: harsh to say, and it sounds harsh when I do 34 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: say it, But the reality of this is Oklahoma in 35 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: the Big twelve. Things at life is good for the 36 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: most part, But when you go to the SEC weekend 37 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: and week out, this ain't the Big twelve. You can 38 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: go to the PAC twelve and you could reclaim that, 39 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: or at least you're in the conversation of being a 40 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 1: top ten team. And I asked Pat forty about Lincoln 41 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: Riley running from the SEC or running to the PAC twelve. 42 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:29,519 Speaker 1: Usually people don't leave Oklahoma unless they're retiring, maybe going 43 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: to the NFL, maybe a scandal chase them out to 44 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: go leave Oklahoma for another job is remarkable, and I 45 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 1: think it says a lot Dan about where Oklahoma is heading. 46 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 1: And I'd say Lincoln Riley, well, he may be running 47 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: two the beach in LA. He's also running away from 48 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: the SEC. And I don't blame him, all right. So 49 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: that's Pat forty eight seven seven three d P show 50 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: email address DP at Dan Patrick dot com. Poll question. 51 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: We have a couple of stats of the day as well. 52 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: The LA Rams. Remember when they won the off season 53 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: that seems like a long time ago. But bringing in 54 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: guys over the summer, then again at the trade deadline 55 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: and then do something like that. Win the offseason, win 56 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: the trade deadline, but win at Lambeau in late November, 57 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: those are very different things. Despite his injured toe, Aaron 58 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: Rodgers led the Packers pass the Rams and LA has 59 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: dropped three in a row, not playing like a contender. 60 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 1: So that leaves the Packers, Cardinals in Bucks with the 61 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: top three seeds in the NFC. But the way everyone 62 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: is playing, we could be headed for a Tampa Green 63 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: Bay Conference title game rematch. The Rams are still incorporating 64 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham von Miller into the system. Really the big 65 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: loss is Robert Woods, their wide receiver. But it's getting 66 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: towards the end of the regular season, teams is starting 67 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: to gear up for the playoffs. Los Angeles hasn't given 68 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: us a lot of reason to think this is going 69 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: to be a special postseason team. I didn't understand this 70 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: watching the game. And if you have Aaron Rodgers playing 71 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: on a maybe broken toe, I gotta make him move. 72 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: I got to put pressure on him, and look, he 73 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: may carve me up, but I know I have a 74 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: better chance. It feels like if I put pressure on 75 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 1: somebody who doesn't have their normal mobility. There. That's what 76 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: I thought was surprising there. You know, just enough, just 77 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: enough to put pressure on him. Now that's a banged 78 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: up offensive line, so you would think, okay, we got 79 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: our shots here, let's go, let's put some pressure on him, 80 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: make him move a little bit. That was surprising there. 81 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: And didn't see enough of that yesterday that I thought 82 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 1: I was going to And this is a resilient Green 83 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: Bay team. I don't know if anybody is great this year, 84 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 1: but what Green Bay is doing is what you want 85 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 1: in a championship caliber team, and that is, Hey, you 86 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: got injuries. Yep, got injuries. What are you doing with 87 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: those injured? How are you overcoming that they run the football? 88 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:10,679 Speaker 1: By the way, AJ Dillon wasn't a great draft pick 89 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: at the time, second round pick out of BC. Nobody 90 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: thought that was a great draft pick. They took Jordan Love, 91 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: they took AJ Dillon. Both times we went, you could 92 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: have taken Justin Jefferson, you could have taken a couple 93 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: of wide receiving Nobody said anything about, oh man, you 94 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: know what green Bay needs. They need another running back. 95 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: And what I love about AJ Dillon He's never stopped. 96 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: He is always moving forward and getting the first down. 97 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: And you know you have Jones and Dylan and that's 98 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: a great combo platter there. But you can't tell me, boy, 99 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: what a great draft pick, because at the time, I 100 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: don't think anybody thought it was. It's like Kirk Cousins 101 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: when he was drafted in the fourth round by Washington 102 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 1: and they had taken our three hi in the first round. 103 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 1: What are you doing taking Kirk Cousins. He's not going 104 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: to play. Then that's when people got me at a 105 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: great draft pick there. You didn't think it. And aj Dillon, 106 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: you didn't think he was a great draft pick because 107 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: you want all right BC and you already got running 108 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: backs and Aaron Rodgers needs help. Well, two things are 109 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 1: the quarterback's best friend, a good offensive line in a 110 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 1: good running game. Green Bay doesn't have a good offensive 111 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: line right now, but they have a good running game, 112 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: and I think that that is paramount in trying to 113 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,919 Speaker 1: survive these games. Leonard four Netts scored four touchdowns for 114 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay yesterday. You're going to find these games as 115 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 1: we get closer to the playoffs and in the playoffs, 116 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,479 Speaker 1: what is your offensive line and what's your running game? Like? 117 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: It's really important because as much as we go it's 118 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: a past happy league, you still have to be able 119 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: to run the football. You have to keep the defense honest. 120 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: And that's why you know the Rams defensive strategy I 121 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: didn't understand and their offensive strategy. If Matthew Stafford is hurt, 122 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: I can't rely on him to beat Green Bay at 123 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: Lambeau with a pretty good secondary and it's a secondary 124 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: that he is banged up, but it felt like everybody 125 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: had a chance for a pick six. Run the football 126 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: a little bit, so pressure ego a little bit, take 127 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: a little pressure off your quarterback, but I would be 128 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: putting pressure on Aaron Rodgers. Yeah. Club. I heard something 129 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: the interesting from a coach, coach Frank Reich. He's like, 130 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: the looks they were giving us made us pass the ball, 131 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: and if I could do it again, I would pass 132 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: the ball even more so the coaches see these looks 133 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: and say this is a pass down. I have to 134 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: pass against this box or whatever. Is that way too 135 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: rigid thinking, like if you're a coach, what would you 136 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: do in that situation, if the team's begging you not, 137 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: you know, putting nine guys in the box with well, 138 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: you know every defense is going to do this. They're 139 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: going to try to take away what you do. Well, 140 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: we always give Belichick like Belichick's the only guy to 141 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: figure this out. For twenty years, I've only heard Belichick 142 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: takes away your best weapon. I've never heard that about 143 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: another coach. But somehow it's Belichick who's figured it out. 144 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: You would think after twenty years that other coaches would go, hey, 145 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: you know what Belichick takes sure the best one you try. 146 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: It's a chess game. We want you to do this. Now, 147 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: that doesn't mean if they want you to do it. 148 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: You know what's that say? They feel better if you 149 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: do this as opposed to if you do that is 150 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: your strength. I always go back to Steph Curry. You 151 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: know what he's going to do. Can you stop him? 152 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: Then the answer is no, But if you did, then 153 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: what happens? But until then, I mean I would. If 154 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: I'm the Colts, I would have run the football. I 155 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 1: got a great offensive line. Jonathan Taylor is an MVP candidate. 156 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: I would run the football absolutely. And I don't want 157 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz throwing the ball more than twenty times a 158 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: game because I think when he's economical then we have 159 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,319 Speaker 1: something there. But he's a turnover guy. All right, we'll 160 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: get some phone calls here, by the way. After a 161 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: bye week, this week, Green Bay has Chicago at home, 162 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: at Baltimore, Cleveland, Minnesota at home, then at Detroit. Going 163 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: to be a great race with Arizona for that number 164 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: one seed because Arizona at Chicago hosts the Rams at Detroit. 165 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: India at home at Dallas Seattle at home. It's it's 166 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: a tougher schedule than Green Bay has. And then the 167 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: Packers did beat Arizona in Glendale in week eight. Arizona 168 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: is gonna have to win outright to have the home 169 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: field advantage head to head. All right, so let's pull question. 170 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 1: We're gonna go with an hour two O one was 171 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 1: what's the best job at these three Arizona Cardinals, USC, 172 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: Trojans are Oklahoma Sooners. The Cardinals ran away with this obviously, 173 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: we're talking about Cliff Kingsbury is in the rumor mill, 174 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: as they say, well, he's in line for a big 175 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: pay raise, and he certainly earned that. Do I think 176 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 1: his name is going to come up just because he 177 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 1: wants to leverage that or his agent does. Yeah, he's 178 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: got one year left on his contract. But do I 179 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: think that he wants to go, you know, to one 180 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: of these openings here? I don't. You're in the NFL. 181 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: And I did have you know a source who said 182 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 1: USC is better, that job is better than some NFL jobs. 183 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 1: I said, well, okay, I mean it is LA, but 184 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 1: you're still trying to revitalize a program and you're coaching 185 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 1: in the end it feels like the NFL is supposed 186 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: to be that's the end game. But as my source said, 187 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: it's not. Because you can make so much money in 188 00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: college football. You have more stability there, and the NFL 189 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 1: is where the coaches run or the players run the league. 190 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: In college you're still running the show and USC is 191 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,679 Speaker 1: still a great job. Obviously enough for Lincoln Riley to 192 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: leave Oklahoma. Yeah, Poe, remember in Cliff Kingsbury was the 193 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,599 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator at USC for about an hour and a 194 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,319 Speaker 1: half that little way station. He was out there for 195 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: a minute and then he went to the Cardinal. Yeah, 196 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: it's not even like at his Wikipedia page, it doesn't 197 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: even show up for like a coach at USC. Yes, 198 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: we cloth we're joking at Basically, Cliff Kingsbury and Lincoln 199 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 1: Riley were the same person to us, like, we make 200 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,559 Speaker 1: no distinction. They were. I looked it up. Lincoln Riley 201 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: backed up Cliff Kingsbury as a walk on as a 202 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: freshman at Texas Tech. They've they're so similar in ways, 203 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: But wasn't where's Graham Harrell fit in all of this? 204 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 1: Was he at Texas Tech as well? And then he's 205 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 1: USC's offensive coordinator. Yeah, we'll get the timing down. He's 206 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 1: certainly in that mix. Yeah. Oh, it's a small world, 207 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: this coaching community, it is. And yeah they have that 208 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 1: image at being offensive guys who are not necessarily head coaches. 209 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: You know, they're just offensive geniuses. Yeah, we throw that 210 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: word out way too much. Offensive geniuses. How many are there? 211 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,959 Speaker 1: Remember Brian Billick was an offensive genius with the Ravens 212 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 1: and they won with Trent Dilfer as their quarterback and 213 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: they played great defense. It's like in an offensive genius really, 214 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 1: Like was Lombardi an offensive genius? Probably so, but he's 215 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 1: not given credit, Like who is Don Schuele an offensive 216 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: genius because he had Dan Marino. Bill Walsh felt like 217 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: an offensive genius. Is Phil Jackson a genius basketball genius? 218 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: Or is he just really good at understanding? That's where 219 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: I want to coach and coach those players, because I'm 220 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 1: a whole lot smarter with Shaq and Kobe or Mike 221 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 1: and Scottie and just Am. But I was the offensive genius. 222 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: Are you running the football? Can't be an offensive genius 223 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: if you're running the football. Although I go back to 224 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 1: those Oklahoma teams when they ran the wishbone felt like, 225 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: you know, you had some offensive geniuses there. Yeah, I'm 226 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: a club. I would just say I hope Lombardi was 227 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 1: an offensive genius. If anybody him and Paul Brown, those 228 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,959 Speaker 1: are offensive geniuses. Paul Brown, you've told us stories he's 229 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: but but they do throw out that, you know, that designation, 230 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 1: he's an offensive genius. Okay, Like feels like there's a 231 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 1: lot more like Sean mcvagh's an offensive genius. Right. No, 232 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:50,199 Speaker 1: Mike Leach felt like an offensive genius. He was changing 233 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: June Jones like guys who changed the game in the 234 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: approach and five wide and the fact that the head 235 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: coaches in the NFL would go to college campuses to 236 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,959 Speaker 1: learn the offenses. Those are geniuses. Yeah, Mike. I could 237 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,719 Speaker 1: think of one offensive genius, Kyle Shanahan, who should have 238 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: caught up more run plays in the Super Bowl, although 239 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: I give him credit because he suppressed his ego. They 240 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 1: are running the football. I don't know if I have 241 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: the numbers here close by, but what they've done this 242 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: year with their running game the last three games, they 243 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: pound the football and they're winning, and I just think 244 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: there's something to be said for that. That and you know, 245 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel is your running back, although he got banged 246 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: up yesterday. You know Elijah Mitchell I gain, it's not 247 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: a he's a free agent. That's where you find somebody 248 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: when you make something out of nothing. Those are the 249 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: guys where you go. Damn, he's smart, he's good. All right, 250 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: we'll take a break.

We think of offensive geniuses. You 274 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: don't usually think of a guy who's running the football. 275 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: But the Niners running the ball. In a loss to 276 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: the Cardinals, they ran the ball eleven times, they passed 277 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: the ball forty five times. They lost. Since then they 278 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: have run forty four times to twenty That was a 279 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: win over the Rams, and win over the Jags forty 280 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: two carries twenty four passes. That was win over the Jags. 281 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 1: Then they beat the Vikings thirty nine runs to twenty 282 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 1: two passes and they beat the Vikings. You know, it's 283 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: it's a team that has to take advantage of their strengths. 284 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: And while I don't rely on Jimmy g very often, 285 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 1: if I know I have a running game. Play action 286 00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 1: is so important in the NFL that if you give 287 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: a quarterback that give them a little bit of time, 288 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 1: have a running game. You know you got the mixture there. 289 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 1: And San Francisco is one of those teams where you're 290 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: always looking for the team or teams that haven't peaked 291 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: too soon. Remember the Steelers last year eleven and oh 292 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, people go, that's as 293 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 1: good as they're gonna get, right, And that was the case. 294 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,679 Speaker 1: You see these teams where after well now it's seventeen games, 295 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 1: but you get to around thirteen fourteen games. That's when 296 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,160 Speaker 1: I love to keep an eye on those teams because 297 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,360 Speaker 1: you get on that role and then that's when those 298 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 1: teams are dangerous. Plus bye weeks, who's got a late 299 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: bye week? Who's going to get healthy? But let me 300 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 1: bring in Albert Breer, the senior NFL reporter for the 301 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:43,120 Speaker 1: Monday Morning Quarterback Ohio State apologist, and let's start there. Albert, 302 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:47,880 Speaker 1: how was that day watching Michigan and the Ohio State. Yeah, 303 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: it was tough. It's been a while, you know, so 304 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 1: I think ten years, Like I mean, I say ten years, 305 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: but like you know, as well as I do like 306 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: that one ten years ago, wasn't It's like during the 307 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 1: year that we didn't have a full time head coach, 308 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: Luke Fickle was the interim and so really it's like 309 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: the first time I felt that way in eighteen years, 310 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: which is mind blowing. So yeah, it was frustrating, and 311 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: it was like, it felt like it felt a little 312 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,640 Speaker 1: bit like losing to Purdue when we couldn't stop Rondale 313 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,639 Speaker 1: More or losing to Iowa when we couldn't stop the 314 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,400 Speaker 1: tight ends. It's like one another team has one thing 315 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 1: you can't stop, then it's a really, really frustrating experience. 316 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 1: And I felt that way with the Michigan pass rushers 317 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 1: that you know, they were pretty much consistently able to 318 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: get to CJ and keep our passing game from really 319 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,399 Speaker 1: hitting the rhythm that it's been for the last opinion 320 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 1: for the last month, I know you covered the NFL, 321 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 1: but obviously college football with Lincoln Riley, what's happened with 322 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: Oklahoma and how that we thought the Mel Tucker Michigan 323 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: State contract was going to reverberate with salaries around college 324 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: in the NFL. I was told Lincoln Riley was offered 325 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: twelve million dollars a year by LSU. How do you 326 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: think this plays out with other coaches, Like, you know, 327 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,919 Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury's probably going to go, hey, do I have 328 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,400 Speaker 1: to flirt with Oklahoma or LSU to get a pay 329 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: raise here with the Arizona Cardinals. What do you think happens? Yeah, 330 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 1: I think it's just sort of changes the dynamic. And 331 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,120 Speaker 1: I think there are some people that would argue Dan 332 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,159 Speaker 1: that it's been a long time coming. I mean, if 333 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: you think about like what players make, and if you 334 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: want to really go down the list and look at 335 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 1: the players who are making ten, twelve, fourteen million dollars 336 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: a year, that's what the top coaches in the NFL make. Like, 337 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 1: there's no argument those guys aren't as valuable as a 338 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 1: great head coach. And it's not knock on any of 339 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,160 Speaker 1: those guys. It's just having a great head coaches as 340 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 1: valuable I think in pro football as it is in 341 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,880 Speaker 1: any sport, right, and so like, I think that there 342 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: maybe has been a market correction coming here because of 343 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: the value of a great coach in that sport specifically, 344 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 1: And you know, I think it's started to some degree 345 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 1: with Matt Rule in that like he I think broke 346 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,200 Speaker 1: the bank for a guy with his first NFL all 347 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 1: coaching contracts where you had guys and eight figures and 348 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,679 Speaker 1: now they're about I think there are nine NFL coaches 349 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: that are on eight figures per year. But you didn't 350 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 1: have a first time guy coming in and getting nine 351 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 1: million a year the way Matt Rule did. And he 352 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: didn't have anybody doing seven year contracts. But Matt Rule 353 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 1: could command that because that's what Baylor was offering him 354 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: to stay, you know. So you know, I think that 355 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 1: that's sort of going to be the way the leverage 356 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: game works in coaching now, where you know, these big 357 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 1: college programs, especially ones that are going to get desperate 358 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: here like your Oklahoma, like your LSU, that are afraid 359 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: of sort of the music stopping. And I'm not having 360 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,159 Speaker 1: a guy, you know, I think a lot of you know, 361 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: the successful pro coaches, all they have to do is 362 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 1: just be vague with their answers for a week, right, 363 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,679 Speaker 1: Like like somebody has them at a press conference, Just 364 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 1: be vague for a week, like, I don't know if 365 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: it's give him the old Kyle Shanahan like answer. I 366 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: don't know if we're all gonna be alive on Sunday, 367 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: you know, and just make your place a little nervous 368 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,160 Speaker 1: and maybe a cash in. Well, Mike Tomlin wasn't trying 369 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: to cash in when he wasn't vague when that story came, 370 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,439 Speaker 1: he basically gave a speech which I had a USC 371 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:08,160 Speaker 1: fan who said, now we really want him even more 372 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: with given a speech like that. I said, he gave 373 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,199 Speaker 1: you a speech that he doesn't want to go to 374 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 1: USC goes. I mean, I love the fire there. What 375 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: kind of openings you know, it was a week ago 376 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: Matt Naggie was being fired reportedly Okay, yeah, still got 377 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 1: his job. I expect him to be let go at 378 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: the end of the year. Vic Fangio is kind of 379 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: winning his way into a it feels like a tougher 380 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: decision in Denver. I don't know if Joe Judge is 381 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 1: you know, these next four or five games, they're going 382 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: to impact his future. There. Don't know if you see 383 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,680 Speaker 1: any other openings or potential openings. I mean, there's been 384 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,680 Speaker 1: so much turnover, you know, I feel like this is 385 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 1: like an annual thing, Dan, where we get to this 386 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: time of year and unless there are the obvious ones 387 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,119 Speaker 1: and like Last year was different because last year we 388 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: really had like three stays of execution, right like Detroit, Atlanta, Jacksonville. 389 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 1: Those guys all survived after twenty nineteen, and they were 390 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: a very very short leash going into twenty twenty. And 391 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 1: you know, obviously all of those come open, but there's 392 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,120 Speaker 1: been so much turnover over the years that sometimes it's 393 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 1: hard to pinpoint, you know, which ones are going to 394 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: be open this early, because you're firing guys who've only 395 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: been in their places for a year or two, you know. 396 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: But I think the ones that most of the people 397 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 1: in the industry are paying attention to, you know. Obviously, 398 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 1: you know Chicago's one, and you know, the fate of 399 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 1: a young quarterback is sort of in the balance there, 400 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 1: so that's a big one. Minnesota is another one where 401 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 1: you know, two years ago that was sort of up 402 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: in the air, and you know, if they don't make 403 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,159 Speaker 1: the playoffs this year, i'd be the first time for 404 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 1: Mike Zimmer missing two years in a row. So I 405 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 1: think that that's one to keep an eye on as well. 406 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: You know, obviously some of them have kind of gone 407 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 1: the other way, like Miami is a good example. People 408 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 1: we're talking about Miami. Well, now you know Brian Flores 409 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,640 Speaker 1: and Chris Greer and the guys down there have won 410 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 1: four in a row and they play the Jets in 411 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 1: the Giants for the next two weeks and two is 412 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,679 Speaker 1: playing well. So it looks like you safe, you know, 413 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 1: Joe Judge, what does it look like over the last 414 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 1: half of the season. I can tell you this, like 415 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 1: the Maras love Jason Garrett. So the fact that he 416 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,120 Speaker 1: that they were willing to pull the plug on Jason 417 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 1: Garrett in the middle of the season, you know, got 418 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 1: everyone's attention in that building, and it should you know, 419 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: I think everybody was put on notice by that. So 420 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 1: you have a few that are sort of I think 421 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 1: percolating right now. You know. The other thing is I 422 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 1: think you know there's there's to some degree, I think 423 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: this has happened in college too, where this has sort 424 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,640 Speaker 1: of forced these big swings, like USC taking a huge 425 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 1: swing at Lincoln Riley. There aren't the obvious candidates that 426 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 1: were last year. Like last year you had Robert Sala 427 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: and Arthur Smith who everyone interviewed. Do you have that 428 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 1: obvious like young candidate coming up. I think this is 429 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 1: gonna be a year where maybe you see more of 430 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,679 Speaker 1: the retreads. Do you see guys like Josh McDaniels or 431 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,879 Speaker 1: Raheem Morris or Todd Bowles, You know, those sorts of 432 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,400 Speaker 1: guys getting second shots because there just isn't the pool 433 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: of young candidates and that there has been in the past. 434 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 1: We're talking Albert Brier's senior NFL reporter or lead content 435 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:02,120 Speaker 1: strategist for the Monday Morning Orderback. I'm curious about this 436 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: situation how it plays out in Seattle, and I don't 437 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: have any insight information on it, but I have a 438 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,919 Speaker 1: pretty good gut feeling with Russell Wilson. If you're not 439 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: going to make the playoffs and the franchise has to decide, Okay, 440 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: what is our future? What direction are we pointed in? 441 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: Do you want to keep Pete Carroll? Does Pete want 442 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,920 Speaker 1: to stay? He's going to be seventy years of age. 443 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:30,879 Speaker 1: Russ has two more years left. Could Russell Wilson Pola 444 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:36,719 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford. Could he say, hey, let's let's just you 445 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: guys get something for me, but let me move on. 446 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: Could you see a scenario where Russ not forces his 447 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,439 Speaker 1: way out, but maybe Stafford's his way out? Yeah, Like 448 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,959 Speaker 1: he's less passive aggressive than he was about it last year. 449 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 1: I think it's what you're saying, right, Yes, yes, I 450 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: mean my understanding is, like, so his mindset last year, 451 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 1: having talked to some people around him, was he wanted 452 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 1: to view last year is like the launch, you know, 453 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,159 Speaker 1: the last off season is the launch of the second 454 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 1: half of his career. And so it wasn't just I'm 455 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 1: going to assess my team. So I'm gonna assess the 456 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: way I train, I'm going to assess how I work 457 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: with my teammates in the off season. I'm going to 458 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:17,119 Speaker 1: assess all of this because he was I think consumed 459 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 1: with the idea like what's my legacy going to be? 460 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 1: And am I going to be remembered like a Peyton 461 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 1: Manning or a Tom Brady? And to do that, do 462 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 1: I have to win championships? And so I mean, I'm 463 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 1: just here to tell you this Dan, like if that 464 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 1: was his mindset last year, and he's really worried about 465 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: like what his legacy is going to look like, and 466 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: he've used this as the start of the second half 467 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,400 Speaker 1: of his career and he wants to have what Tom 468 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 1: Brady had, you know, at the end of New England 469 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 1: and now in Tampa, or what Peyton Manning got in 470 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: Denver after he got hurt and came back from the injury. 471 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 1: Does he think he can get that in Seattle, because 472 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: if he doesn't at the end of this year and 473 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 1: it's not looking great right now and to night might 474 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,640 Speaker 1: be another one of those national TV referendums on it. Like, 475 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 1: I don't know where he'd be in more of a 476 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: spot in January twenty twenty two than he was in 477 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 1: January twenty twenty one to want to stay there. And 478 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,880 Speaker 1: so I think your scenario is an interesting one because 479 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 1: the way Stafford did it was very I would say 480 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,639 Speaker 1: it was very It was just very conciliatory, you know 481 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: where it was I'm going to go in and I 482 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,399 Speaker 1: don't want to ruffle feathers, and I don't want to 483 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 1: rule my legacy in this city. And I still love 484 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 1: this franchise and I want you to be able to 485 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: bring me back here and put me up in the 486 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 1: Ring of Honor, but I want to move on and 487 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 1: work with me. And so, like, just knowing how image 488 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: conscious for us is, I don't think it's that hard 489 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 1: to see a scenario, especially if they missed the playoffs, 490 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 1: especially if there's questions about Pete's future, especially if the 491 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 1: roster doesn't look better in eight weeks than it does now, 492 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: like going forward, where you know, I could see Russell 493 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 1: going in and having that conversation, because I do think 494 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,879 Speaker 1: that there's a lot of people outside of Russell's camp 495 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 1: working in that building that have thought for a while 496 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 1: that he's on his last contract with Seattle. To begin with, yeah, 497 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: I believe that. I don't think that he plays there 498 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,120 Speaker 1: next year, But I just wonder. And you're you're so 499 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: dead on with Russ and being image conscious. He's as 500 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,879 Speaker 1: image conscious as anybody. And you don't want to be 501 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 1: that guy who says I want to force my way out. 502 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: You want to be the guy who says, look, you 503 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 1: don't have you know, first round draft picks. You know, 504 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,159 Speaker 1: I want to move on. I want to try to 505 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,679 Speaker 1: win another championship. And you guys might not need to rebuild, 506 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 1: but I want. I just wonder how much longer Russ 507 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,880 Speaker 1: and Pete Carroll can co exist with their philosophies when 508 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 1: it comes to offense. And if I agree with that, 509 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,400 Speaker 1: that that's an important point, Dan two, because I think 510 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 1: sometimes we overlook this like these guys and this isn't 511 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,160 Speaker 1: like I'm not like just saying Russell because I don't 512 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,119 Speaker 1: want to make him sound so Brady cares about this 513 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 1: stuff too. Those guys really care about their personal performance, right, 514 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 1: And it's like, like you can't like ask a guy 515 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:57,919 Speaker 1: like this to shut down the competitive nature at like 516 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: the team performance, and like it's okay, individual performance doesn't 517 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 1: matter as much because it does. Like how they play 518 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 1: matters to them almost as much as winning does. And 519 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,880 Speaker 1: that's another I think you hit an important important point there, 520 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 1: which is like, does he feel like he's in the 521 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,400 Speaker 1: best position to become a Hall of Famer? Right? Does 522 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 1: he feel like he's in the best position to really 523 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,399 Speaker 1: be remembered a certain way and play the sort of 524 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 1: game that maybe he thinks he's capable of. If he 525 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 1: doesn't think that that's going to happen in Seattle because 526 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: Pete runs the place a certain way, and it's going 527 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 1: to be run a certain way as long as Pete's there, 528 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,439 Speaker 1: you know, that's certainly a part of it too. And 529 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 1: I wonder if it's a big market like the Giants, 530 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:40,959 Speaker 1: let's say they have two first round picks, is that something? 531 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 1: And I don't mean to do sports radio where you 532 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 1: call in with trade scenarios. But I'm just looking at 533 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 1: this because I do think it's going to be real. 534 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 1: I do think this is going to happen. But I 535 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 1: don't know if Russ goes my wife wants to be 536 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 1: in a bigger market, or I want to be in 537 00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: a bigger market. If you want to win, you're not 538 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: going to go to the Giants. So where you know, 539 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: could you go to the Saints? You know? I mean 540 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 1: there's there's a couple of teams that have that missing ingredient, 541 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 1: which could be Russell Wilson. I mean, like I've heard 542 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 1: platforms really important to him, you know, And I believe 543 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 1: Dallas was on his list, which I mean they got Dak, 544 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, and I heard Chicago. 545 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 1: This is wild, I mean, I but but there was 546 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 1: there was like a rumor floating around last year that 547 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 1: he liked the idea of Chicago because that's Obama's team, right, like, 548 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 1: and that like there was platform potentially post career there, 549 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: and so like I think he's very conscious of that 550 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 1: stuff too. And obviously New York would be a stage, 551 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 1: you know, like New York like going and being the 552 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 1: Giants quarterback and maybe being the guy to help resurrect 553 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,719 Speaker 1: that team. And there are pieces there. Now they need 554 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 1: to fix a bunch of stuff too, but there are 555 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 1: pieces there, like you're Kenny Galladay's Kadarius Tony's Evan Ingrams 556 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,959 Speaker 1: when he's healthy, Sequon Barkley, where you could look at 557 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 1: it and say, if you drop a veteran quarterback in there, 558 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 1: maybe that veteran quarterback can ignite that team the way 559 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 1: again like a Peyton Manning ignited that Broncos team with 560 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 1: Damarius Thomas and Eric Decker ten years ago. I you know, 561 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: if I was at that Ravens Browns game, I would 562 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 1: ask for my money back. That's one of the worst 563 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 1: primetime games I've ever seen. But I don't think you'd 564 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 1: be very successful. No, I would not be. I don't 565 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 1: know what to make of the Ravens. As much as 566 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 1: I look at Lamar and I'm fascinated, but it feels 567 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: like he's a one off in the playoffs where you go, man, 568 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 1: he's really hard to defend. Yeah, I don't know if 569 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 1: they're closer to being a Super Bowl contender than they 570 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: were last year. And we know Cleveland was on a 571 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 1: lot of the shortlist of playing in the AFC title 572 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 1: game here, so they're both kind of interesting. The Ravens 573 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: feel lucky, they sort of they've survived here, which I 574 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 1: guess that's what you want. But what you are the 575 00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 1: Ravens a Super Bowl contender. I think these two teams 576 00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 1: are like a very different spots. I think for the 577 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 1: Ravens this is about injuries. And I give John Harbaugh 578 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 1: all the credit in the world. I mean, I think 579 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 1: he's done a dye of my job, and if they 580 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: wind up with the one, number one or number two seat, 581 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 1: I think he deserves Coach of the Year consideration. The 582 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 1: amount of things that they've lost, like running backs, are 583 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 1: more important to them than most other teams because of 584 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 1: the way they run their offense. They lost their top 585 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 1: two running backs, JK. Dobbins and Gus Edwards. They lost 586 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 1: their left tackle, Ronnie Stanley. That's a sort of injury 587 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 1: that can be crippling for teams. You know, they lose 588 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 1: Marcus Peters, their number two corner. You know, you just 589 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 1: you look at the injuries they've had across the board, 590 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 1: and then the kind of tikie tax stuff that's taking 591 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 1: guys out right, like where the receiver room was like 592 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 1: basically a mash unit for two months and you know, 593 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 1: Lamar goes down and he's out for a game. I 594 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 1: just like it's one of those things where it's like, 595 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 1: you know, you want to believe they're gonna be able 596 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 1: to keep this going, but so much of it feels 597 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: like smoke and mirrors, and it's a great credit to 598 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 1: everyone in that building that they've made at work. And 599 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 1: so I think with the Ravens, it's more can we 600 00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 1: continue to scotch tape the thing together on a week 601 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 1: to week basis because we are really really limping here, 602 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 1: Whereas with the Browns, I think it's more I would 603 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 1: just say I think some of the magic they had 604 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 1: in that locker room last year where they were a gritty, 605 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 1: tough like, there were so many things about that team 606 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 1: last year that was sort of like all right, like 607 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski has the culture turned there. I think with 608 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 1: some of the moves they made in the offseason, they 609 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 1: lost a little bit of that, and so I think 610 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,520 Speaker 1: that they are maybe a little less resilient than they 611 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 1: were last year. And obviously, since it is Cleveland, when 612 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 1: things go even a little bit wrong because of the 613 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 1: history of that franchise, the way that team's covered like 614 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: they have a way of getting magnified. Great to talk 615 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 1: to you is always Albert, thanks for joining us. Awesome, 616 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 1: thanks for having me, Dan Letch. Albert Brier, Senior NFL reporter, 617 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 1: lead content strategist for the Monday Morning Quarterback. A couple 618 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 1: of phone calls best and Worst of the weekend Jeff 619 00:32:55,880 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 1: and Detroit. Hey, Jeff, best and worst out that out? 620 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 1: Hey there, Dann, how's everything going? My brother? Do you 621 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: know I have never been able to say these words 622 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 1: on your show. Michigan defeats Ohio State and shout out 623 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:17,000 Speaker 1: to Rhees Davis who said that Jim Harball would be 624 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 1: looking for somebody to hit there enter him Biakabatuka, that 625 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 1: Hassan Haskers ever do that. I also have to give 626 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 1: a shout out to the Michigan State Police because, in 627 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 1: an effort to keep everybody safe and going home after 628 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 1: the game, they put out a tweak that stated be 629 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 1: careful and if you're driving to the state south of US, 630 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 1: no need to rush. Your season is over, Jim. The 631 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 1: only thing that scares me now, although Dan, is that 632 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 1: they're gonna come out to Jim Harball, because think about it, 633 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:49,480 Speaker 1: he just got finished reworking his contract to accept like 634 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 1: like four million dollars or something like that, and his 635 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:56,240 Speaker 1: NFL record was forty four nineteen and one. I mean 636 00:33:56,280 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 1: that's what five losses in season, they're gonna beyond that. Guy. Now, 637 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:05,960 Speaker 1: I don't think a coach's experience a better win that 638 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:10,160 Speaker 1: was not going to championship or playoff implications. Well, I 639 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 1: mean playoff implications in this case. But yeah, man, it's 640 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:17,400 Speaker 1: it's just wonderful here, man, it's just wonderful. Well, congratulations, Jeff, 641 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,200 Speaker 1: thank you for the phone call. Yeah. See, yeah, if 642 00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,759 Speaker 1: I'm Jim Harball, I totally jumped to the NFL next year. 643 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 1: It's not getting any better than this week. There's nothing 644 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 1: you can do that's going to be better than this week. 645 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 1: I take this win, I ride out, you know, humbly, 646 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,440 Speaker 1: of course, humbly, but yeah, and then I jumped to 647 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:39,400 Speaker 1: the NFL, right now. Wow, Yeah, but Michigan has stayed 648 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 1: with him. Michigan stayed with him. Didn't he just sign 649 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 1: a contract extension too? Yeah, but it's it's not like 650 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,400 Speaker 1: a crazy amount of money. I don't know it's not 651 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:54,359 Speaker 1: getting any better than this week. Yeah, and it took 652 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 1: six years to get here.

Here comes that what stat of the day? 690 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,400 Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley and the family landed in La about a 691 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 1: half hour ago. He had his USC golf shirt on, 692 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:19,200 Speaker 1: USC colored nikes, no winter coat, just getting off the 693 00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:23,040 Speaker 1: plane and ready to go. Eight seven seven three d 694 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 1: P show email address DP of Dan Patrick dot com, 695 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:27,920 Speaker 1: Twitter handle at DP show. A little bit of an 696 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:31,480 Speaker 1: issue here because Lincoln Riley has two dogs. Won his 697 00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:36,000 Speaker 1: named Boomer, and won his name sooner? Okay, Now do 698 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,440 Speaker 1: you change the dog's names? And I was thinking Tro 699 00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,520 Speaker 1: and Jan. Now I don't know if it's a boy 700 00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:46,520 Speaker 1: and a girl, but if I could get Trojen Todd 701 00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,400 Speaker 1: had a good idea. If the dog was a collie, 702 00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,680 Speaker 1: then you have the collie. See. Um, yes, I like 703 00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,200 Speaker 1: that one. I don't know if there's any other names 704 00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:57,759 Speaker 1: Seton suggested fight and on. But now that you're a 705 00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,719 Speaker 1: USC head coach, you're going to be reminded. Have come 706 00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:06,160 Speaker 1: here sooner? Yes? How about pro and Basion? That's not 707 00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,719 Speaker 1: that's a long time ago, my bad? Oh four? How 708 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:15,120 Speaker 1: about Bush and Liner or Bush and push? Huh? I 709 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 1: mean yes, bol You guys have dogs for a lot 710 00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,160 Speaker 1: longer than I have do dogs. Once you give him 711 00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:21,960 Speaker 1: a name, you can't change it like three years later, 712 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:25,560 Speaker 1: because they know their names. Right. Yeah, you can't. You 713 00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,080 Speaker 1: can change your names. Yeah, well you can, but there's 714 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:29,759 Speaker 1: just no real reason too. I guess what I'm saying 715 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,239 Speaker 1: is like if a dog has been trained with his 716 00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:37,160 Speaker 1: name of Boomer for four years, Yeah, okay, yeah, yes, 717 00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 1: but Riley's had a lot of success at Oklahoma, and 718 00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,720 Speaker 1: why would you change the name? Why would you even consider? 719 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:44,799 Speaker 1: I know, we're having fun with it, but you know, 720 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,279 Speaker 1: it's not like they pushed him out. He's leaving on 721 00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:51,359 Speaker 1: horrible terms. That's why I would think Oklahoma would view 722 00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:55,040 Speaker 1: this as he's leaving on horrible terms there. But it's 723 00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,279 Speaker 1: not like they gave him some kind of ultimatum. He's 724 00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,440 Speaker 1: not arriving on horrible terms, which is god no, no no, no, 725 00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,879 Speaker 1: he's leading being on horrible terms. Yes, Pa, I saw 726 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:04,279 Speaker 1: the family get off the plane. I didn't see the 727 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,360 Speaker 1: dogs get off the plane. Maybe in the deal the 728 00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,919 Speaker 1: dogs stayed in Norman. Well, that is a huge problem. 729 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,360 Speaker 1: That is a huge problem. If he got rid of 730 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,640 Speaker 1: his dogs because of this, that is a huge problem. 731 00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,279 Speaker 1: It's not he didn't. He's not gonna get rid of 732 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:22,000 Speaker 1: his dogs. We don't know that, we don't, we don't. Yes, 733 00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:23,960 Speaker 1: what if it changed their names and things don't go 734 00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:25,959 Speaker 1: well in LA. There's no guarantee all of a sudden 735 00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,680 Speaker 1: USC's coming back to prominence and they're playing for national 736 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:30,759 Speaker 1: titles and all that. It could be a disasterful we know, 737 00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:32,080 Speaker 1: in the next couple of years. And then you changed 738 00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:35,239 Speaker 1: their names. The dogs are all contised. Am I too 739 00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,600 Speaker 1: far into it? Yes? Yes, you do this, I do. 740 00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:43,160 Speaker 1: Like we're just joking. Take a breath. I got really excited. 741 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,560 Speaker 1: I know, but do you take it seriously? We're just choking. 742 00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:50,200 Speaker 1: It's not gonna leave the dogs in Norman or he's 743 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,279 Speaker 1: you know, should as a human. I don't know if, 744 00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:56,040 Speaker 1: like you know today, you're Brian. A couple of years 745 00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,080 Speaker 1: you'll be fred.

Wolverine beat the Buckeyes forty 759 00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:37,040 Speaker 1: two twenty seven. Saturday, worst of the weekend. After Michigan 760 00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,520 Speaker 1: beats Ohio State, a chance of some more college football 761 00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:43,000 Speaker 1: playoff ranking chaos, but Auburn goes from shutting out Alabama 762 00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,800 Speaker 1: through three and half quarters to a four overtime loss. 763 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,719 Speaker 1: Thank you, Todd mclovin. I actually have three best. The 764 00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:52,360 Speaker 1: first two are aj Dillon's thighs, which are nicknamed Quadzilla 765 00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:56,560 Speaker 1: and the quad Father. But but are his quad's bigger 766 00:40:56,560 --> 00:41:00,720 Speaker 1: than say Quon Barkley. Oh, that is the question. Wow. 767 00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,560 Speaker 1: But he he makes the Packers a new team, right, 768 00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,719 Speaker 1: I mean that he's incredible. And the other best was 769 00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:11,200 Speaker 1: the Big National Game. Everybody the whole country gather around 770 00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:15,200 Speaker 1: to watch Andrew Jay Dalton lead the Chicago Bears pass 771 00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,279 Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions. And I noticed we haven't mentioned that 772 00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:21,879 Speaker 1: game once. That was Thursday, and nobody cares that could 773 00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:25,120 Speaker 1: have been eight minutes ago in the would have care. 774 00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:27,879 Speaker 1: They could be playing right out back and no one 775 00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:31,200 Speaker 1: would care. Let's say, if we were covering that story extensively, 776 00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:35,080 Speaker 1: we would be doing this very wrong. Yeah, Bears Lions 777 00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:38,600 Speaker 1: sixteen fourteen. Yeah, of course the score was sixteen fourteen. 778 00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:43,520 Speaker 1: Uh Seaton. My best of the week in Jalen Waddle 779 00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:45,680 Speaker 1: having a breakout game. Good for him, seven catches, one 780 00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:47,680 Speaker 1: hundred nineteen yards and a touchdown in the first half. 781 00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:49,680 Speaker 1: He finished with the nine catches and one hundred and 782 00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:53,120 Speaker 1: eighty seventy yards. Fietly been great this year. He really 783 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,759 Speaker 1: has what else? My worst of the week and I'm 784 00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,000 Speaker 1: going all Jalen's actually at my best end wars Jalen 785 00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:00,799 Speaker 1: Rigor Jalen Hurts put the ball in his hands in 786 00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,160 Speaker 1: the end zone two times in four plays and he 787 00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,880 Speaker 1: dropped both of them. Dude, catch the ball and in 788 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:08,640 Speaker 1: the worst part two is that it's gonna stick with 789 00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:11,160 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts. No one's gonna remember. They're just gonna look 790 00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,240 Speaker 1: at his record and be like, see, this guy stinks. 791 00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:17,960 Speaker 1: He can't win. Paulie Best and Worst Auburn Football up 792 00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,839 Speaker 1: ten three on Alabama minute forty seven ago a second down, 793 00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,399 Speaker 1: they're running back Tank Bigsby trying for her first round. 794 00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:25,960 Speaker 1: He does not stay in bounds. Alabama does not have 795 00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:27,600 Speaker 1: to use the time out. They get the ball back 796 00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,439 Speaker 1: all the way they are running back, taking a knee 797 00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:32,719 Speaker 1: or falling down away from winning that game. That's my 798 00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,239 Speaker 1: worst second. Did you have the best? I guess the 799 00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:37,719 Speaker 1: best is Jordan Battle, the defensive back for Alabama who 800 00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:42,840 Speaker 1: helped pull Bigsby out to get him out. Okay, George's 801 00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:47,320 Speaker 1: opponents this week have scored three seven thirteen zero zero, 802 00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:53,080 Speaker 1: ten thirteen seven six seventeen seven zero. They headed their 803 00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:57,640 Speaker 1: showdown with Alabama, all right. Coming up next, we'll hear 804 00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:05,000 Speaker 1: the Oklahoma side of Lincoln Riley leaving not pretty and 805 00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:09,920 Speaker 1: who will be the successor there at Okloma. Also Carson Palmer, 806 00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:14,279 Speaker 1: former USC quarterback, and we're going to get opposite ends 807 00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:18,080 Speaker 1: of the rainbow.
