WEBVTT - Hour 2 – Tush Push, JJ Watt

0:00:00.720 --> 0:00:03.520
<v Speaker 1>You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Sports Radio.

0:00:04.880 --> 0:00:08.400
<v Speaker 2>It is our two on this Tuesday. Morale is high

0:00:08.880 --> 0:00:11.360
<v Speaker 2>got the Minister of humor, he got seat and Marv

0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:15.880
<v Speaker 2>Paul years truly JJ. What we'll join us in about

0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:21.040
<v Speaker 2>twenty minutes from now. The big topic today the Tush push.

0:00:21.560 --> 0:00:25.279
<v Speaker 2>The Philadelphia Eagles and the Green Bay Packers reportedly have

0:00:25.360 --> 0:00:29.040
<v Speaker 2>come forward to say, we object, your honor, we would

0:00:29.080 --> 0:00:32.519
<v Speaker 2>like to get rid of this play. And Diana Rossini

0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:34.879
<v Speaker 2>did the great work on this to find out that

0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:36.879
<v Speaker 2>we knew one team had come forward, and that's all

0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:39.360
<v Speaker 2>it takes to get it started. Now, all of a sudden,

0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:42.479
<v Speaker 2>you put it in front of the competition committing and

0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:46.479
<v Speaker 2>maybe something happens. Maybe you change it, maybe you tweak it,

0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:48.239
<v Speaker 2>maybe you just get rid of it. This is what

0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:51.839
<v Speaker 2>the NFL. If the NFL is going to eradicate the

0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:57.400
<v Speaker 2>Tush push, they're going to need injury data because that

0:00:57.440 --> 0:01:01.520
<v Speaker 2>trump's everything. Once you have that, nobody argues. Nobody can

0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:06.479
<v Speaker 2>argue because it's safety first in the NFL, or they

0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:09.520
<v Speaker 2>want you to believe that. But this they might just say,

0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:12.119
<v Speaker 2>you know what, it's too predictable, it's boring. Maybe this

0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:17.160
<v Speaker 2>the Eagles have mastered this and this is the old

0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:20.640
<v Speaker 2>version of the extra point where they're going to get

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:23.280
<v Speaker 2>it right ninety eight point six percent of the time.

0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:26.040
<v Speaker 2>Maybe that's what they want to get rid of. They

0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:29.200
<v Speaker 2>don't want that. I still think the simple solution is

0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:32.920
<v Speaker 2>just don't allow somebody behind Jalen Hurts to push.

0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:33.760
<v Speaker 3>That's all.

0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:36.760
<v Speaker 2>We'll dive into this a little deeper here in a moment.

0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:39.520
<v Speaker 2>Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, thank you for

0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:42.920
<v Speaker 2>downloading napp our radio affiliates around the country. Stat of

0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:44.480
<v Speaker 2>the Day is always brought to you by a Panini

0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:49.240
<v Speaker 2>America official trading cards of the program. Bridget Jones is back. Yes,

0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:52.040
<v Speaker 2>it is the final chapter in Bridget Jones Matt about

0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:56.160
<v Speaker 2>the Boy. Renee Zelwigger stars in the new original film

0:01:56.360 --> 0:02:00.000
<v Speaker 2>streaming now on Peacock. All right, Satan poll question from

0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:02.600
<v Speaker 2>our one and what are we going to start out with?

0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:05.000
<v Speaker 4>In hour two hour one? We had up there today?

0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:11.639
<v Speaker 5>The Green Bay Packers are heroes or zeros? Voting is close.

0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:13.919
<v Speaker 5>Voting is very close right now. It's at fifty one

0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:17.920
<v Speaker 5>percent Heroes. It was slightly higher, but the Zeros have

0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:20.840
<v Speaker 5>been trending upwards. They have about forty nine percent think

0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:22.480
<v Speaker 5>they're zeros.

0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:26.120
<v Speaker 2>That's probably because we have a large audience in the

0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:29.280
<v Speaker 2>state of Wisconsin. So they're fighting for their right as

0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:32.120
<v Speaker 2>they should. Yes, they they should put up a good fight.

0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:34.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm fine with them, yes, Paul.

0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:36.600
<v Speaker 6>But do you think that the NFL believes that most

0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:39.880
<v Speaker 6>football fans want to play gone? Yes, they'll push to

0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:42.440
<v Speaker 6>make it gone because there's only one team that's going

0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:43.120
<v Speaker 6>to fight for it.

0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:47.120
<v Speaker 2>Yes, but you can't single out a team like this.

0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:50.160
<v Speaker 6>They're going to use language they'll say in the spirit

0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:54.240
<v Speaker 6>of competition and safety where they won't present any numbers.

0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:55.359
<v Speaker 7>They'll just make it.

0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:58.200
<v Speaker 6>I think it was like twenty seventeen eighteen guys were

0:02:58.240 --> 0:02:59.720
<v Speaker 6>jumping over the line to block kicks.

0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:03.680
<v Speaker 2>Twenty seventeen they outlawed it. It was legal, but that

0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:06.960
<v Speaker 2>I can understand the safety element of that, jumping up,

0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:10.240
<v Speaker 2>jumping on somebody, stepping on somebody, landing on somebody.

0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:13.680
<v Speaker 6>Nobody actually got hurt, and they didn't use numbers. They

0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:15.239
<v Speaker 6>just said we're getting rid of this. But it was

0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:16.800
<v Speaker 6>a loophole a bunch of teams used.

0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:18.200
<v Speaker 7>Well.

0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:21.639
<v Speaker 2>I think because the Eagles have mastered it and nobody

0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:26.200
<v Speaker 2>else has now let's say four other teams were successful,

0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:29.520
<v Speaker 2>then would they get rid of this. I don't I

0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:32.880
<v Speaker 2>don't mind it. I mean football is about me against you.

0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:36.000
<v Speaker 2>That's the ultimate me against you. Now it might not

0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:38.960
<v Speaker 2>be sexy. I mean they love throwing the football and

0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:42.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, getting touched down all that stuff. First touchdown

0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:46.160
<v Speaker 2>in the Super Bowl was the tush push. I'm okay

0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:47.520
<v Speaker 2>with it. Yeah.

0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:47.760
<v Speaker 7>See.

0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:51.160
<v Speaker 5>It's weird though because we've had, uh, we've had some

0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 5>coaches on before and they hate the play because they're like, eh,

0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:56.920
<v Speaker 5>that's not a football play or to me, it seems

0:03:56.960 --> 0:03:59.680
<v Speaker 5>like the ultimate football play. But they're a lot of

0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:03.560
<v Speaker 5>coaches criticize it as a rugby play, not a football play.

0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:07.760
<v Speaker 2>It's not a strategy play. It's just brute force against

0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:10.880
<v Speaker 2>brute force. But I mean, really that's what the NFL

0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:13.600
<v Speaker 2>was about. My line against your line, offensive line against

0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:17.480
<v Speaker 2>defensive line. I just worry about the jumping over that

0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:19.840
<v Speaker 2>we saw with the Commanders against the Eagles down at

0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:22.640
<v Speaker 2>the goal line in the playoffs, Like that would concern

0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:26.239
<v Speaker 2>me because you're going to keep jumping over you could

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:29.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, dive over and hit the quarterback. You know,

0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:30.920
<v Speaker 2>that would be a concern.

0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:31.240
<v Speaker 7>For me.

0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:35.360
<v Speaker 2>In two thousand and five, the NFL made the penalty

0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:40.080
<v Speaker 2>only for pulling or carrying, removing the flag in cases

0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:44.040
<v Speaker 2>of pushing, so pushing the runner eventually became a key strategy.

0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:48.640
<v Speaker 2>This was twenty twenty. The Eagles adopted the Brotherly shove,

0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:53.800
<v Speaker 2>and the NCAA followed that as well. They allowed the

0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:57.839
<v Speaker 2>pushing of a runner in twenty thirteen. Pushing still remains

0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:01.880
<v Speaker 2>illegal in high school games. Go back five when you

0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:06.600
<v Speaker 2>had the Reggie Bush push with Matt Liinerd against Notre Dame.

0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:09.880
<v Speaker 2>They shouldn't allow that.

0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:10.320
<v Speaker 7>That's all.

0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:13.279
<v Speaker 2>You just don't allow somebody behind the runner to push

0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:18.080
<v Speaker 2>the runner. I think it simplifies everything. Then it's just

0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:21.640
<v Speaker 2>a quarterback sneak. You're not going to outlaw the quarterback sneak, correct,

0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:25.320
<v Speaker 2>not going to be able to do that. But assuming

0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:30.560
<v Speaker 2>the runner in interlocking interference, no offensive player may pull

0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:34.000
<v Speaker 2>a runner in any direction. This is Rule twelve player conduct.

0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:39.240
<v Speaker 2>By the way, you can't use interlocking interference. I don't

0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:41.080
<v Speaker 2>even know what the hell this is. This is way

0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:43.160
<v Speaker 2>lawyers go, hey, you know what, I got some language

0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:46.160
<v Speaker 2>in here. It'll confuse the media. Well job, well done.

0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:49.640
<v Speaker 2>You can't grasp a teammate or use his hands or

0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:52.960
<v Speaker 2>arms to encircle the body of a teammate in an effort,

0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:55.600
<v Speaker 2>so you can't hold on to them like here on

0:05:55.640 --> 0:06:00.160
<v Speaker 2>the back of a motorcycle. You can't throw his body

0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:02.760
<v Speaker 2>against a teammate to aid him in an attempt to

0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:07.719
<v Speaker 2>obstruct an opponent, or recover loose ball. For assisting the runner,

0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:14.400
<v Speaker 2>the penalty is a loss of ten yards. Just don't

0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:18.200
<v Speaker 2>let somebody push the quarterback at all. Then's a quarterback sneak.

0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:21.960
<v Speaker 2>You're going to outlaw the quarterback sneak. Yes, Paul, you're right.

0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:23.159
<v Speaker 2>It was two thousand and five.

0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:26.000
<v Speaker 6>Like you said, the NFL allowed pushing of the ballcarrier

0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:29.760
<v Speaker 6>but said pulling is still illegal. Mike Perero was the

0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:31.720
<v Speaker 6>director of officials back then and did an interview with

0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:33.800
<v Speaker 6>the La Times. He said the league found it was

0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:37.160
<v Speaker 6>so difficult to officiate pushing at the ball carrier. When

0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:40.440
<v Speaker 6>did it happen in the pile downfield? So they just

0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:43.279
<v Speaker 6>removed it, which opened up the door to push ball carriers.

0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:45.360
<v Speaker 6>And then years later the Eagles took advantage of it.

0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:47.920
<v Speaker 2>And I know that there's an injury risk on the play.

0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:50.680
<v Speaker 2>Chris Jones got his neck screwed up a little bit

0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:55.680
<v Speaker 2>in the Super Bowl. I get it, but were there

0:06:55.720 --> 0:07:00.600
<v Speaker 2>injury concerns with the quarterback sneak. I don't remember anybody

0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:04.599
<v Speaker 2>saying the quarterback sneak is unfair. Tom Brady is too

0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:07.400
<v Speaker 2>good at it, and he was too good at it,

0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:12.520
<v Speaker 2>but they didn't try to outlaw it. This is the

0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:16.320
<v Speaker 2>player behind the quarterback. That's all it is. Get rid

0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:19.200
<v Speaker 2>of it and then all of a sudden, that's exactly

0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:25.240
<v Speaker 2>what you have, a quarterback sneak. The Eagles and Buffalo

0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Bills have used the quarterback or the push the tush

0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:33.360
<v Speaker 2>push one hundred and sixty three times over the last

0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:35.400
<v Speaker 2>three seasons, so that's more than the rest of the

0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:40.440
<v Speaker 2>league combined. Philadelphia and Buffalo scored a touchdown or gained

0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:44.400
<v Speaker 2>a first down eighty seven percent of the time, the

0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:49.320
<v Speaker 2>rest of the league seventy one percent rate. But Sean McDermott,

0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:51.120
<v Speaker 2>the head coach of the Bills, has come out to

0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:55.840
<v Speaker 2>say that he is worried about the injuries. Now, Buffalo

0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:59.240
<v Speaker 2>didn't do the tush push when they really needed a

0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:04.800
<v Speaker 2>yard in the playof it didn't work. So I don't

0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:08.600
<v Speaker 2>know if a team has mastered something where the NFL

0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:11.800
<v Speaker 2>goes out of its way to penalize them by taking

0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:15.280
<v Speaker 2>it away, maybe jumping. You know, Jamie Collins with the

0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:18.960
<v Speaker 2>Patriots was really good at blocking kicks, jumping up, block

0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:23.160
<v Speaker 2>jumping on people, jumping over Cam Chancellor. But I don't

0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:25.080
<v Speaker 2>know if the NF the NFL doesn't look good if

0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:28.320
<v Speaker 2>they go, you know what, guys are too good at this.

0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:32.560
<v Speaker 2>It'd be like saying to Patrick Mahomes, you can't throw

0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:35.680
<v Speaker 2>the ball to Tyreek kill, Like that's not fair. You

0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:38.959
<v Speaker 2>guys are too good. At what point do you go,

0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:42.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to I'm gonna get rid of this. I'm

0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:46.480
<v Speaker 2>gonna get rid of this because it's boring or nobody

0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:51.000
<v Speaker 2>else can stop this, and maybe it happens. Maybe there's

0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:56.079
<v Speaker 2>enough of, you know, a push to this from everybody else.

0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:59.160
<v Speaker 2>But I would need data. I need injury data, and

0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:01.440
<v Speaker 2>then all of a sudden you can pass this through.

0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:04.040
<v Speaker 2>The commissioner can just say all right, I'm gonna rubber

0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:06.440
<v Speaker 2>stamp this going through. We're done with this, but you're

0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:09.720
<v Speaker 2>going to hear a lot more about this play over

0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:13.120
<v Speaker 2>the next probably three weeks, four weeks, maybe even longer,

0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:17.280
<v Speaker 2>And you know, the combine. Everybody's there. At the combine,

0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:19.520
<v Speaker 2>you're going to have the NFL Draft. It'll probably be

0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:22.720
<v Speaker 2>a topic of conversation. You have the committed and and

0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:25.360
<v Speaker 2>if we don't address it now or the NFL doesn't

0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:27.200
<v Speaker 2>address it now, I don't want to hear about it

0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:31.240
<v Speaker 2>in October. This is it. Like if we get talk

0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:35.839
<v Speaker 2>September October the super Bowl. You can't go all of

0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:38.400
<v Speaker 2>a sudden. You know that's not fair. This is when

0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:40.959
<v Speaker 2>it needs to be discussed and they decide if they

0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:43.360
<v Speaker 2>want to keep it or get rid of it.

0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:45.400
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, Paul, I remember thinking during the Super Bowl when

0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:47.560
<v Speaker 6>they showed that shot of the sidelines and Chris Jones

0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:49.640
<v Speaker 6>he's having his neck adjusted. He looked like he was

0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:51.920
<v Speaker 6>in pain. I remember thinking, in that moment, if he

0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:55.440
<v Speaker 6>doesn't return to this game, there's your opening. A big

0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:58.240
<v Speaker 6>name star player in the biggest game hurts his head

0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:00.800
<v Speaker 6>neck area on the tush push. That's where you're like,

0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:03.160
<v Speaker 6>I don't need data. I got that video right there.

0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:05.600
<v Speaker 2>A lot of times what happens is you need that moment.

0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:08.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to say a player gets injured, but

0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:11.800
<v Speaker 2>that does sometimes. You know Tom Brady when he got injured,

0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:15.400
<v Speaker 2>when Bernard Pollard went low on his knee to change

0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:19.240
<v Speaker 2>changed the game where you have that moment where somebody

0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:22.800
<v Speaker 2>gets injured or there's a penalty, or a game has

0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:26.280
<v Speaker 2>changed because of a certain call. But Chris Jones was

0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:31.680
<v Speaker 2>lined up at an angle on the tush push and look,

0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:34.520
<v Speaker 2>is it a Is it a mass scrum? It's a

0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:40.560
<v Speaker 2>mosh pit? Absolutely it is. But Philidelph, if Philadelphia didn't

0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:45.640
<v Speaker 2>win the Super Bowl, if Philadelphia wasn't successful as a team,

0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:50.600
<v Speaker 2>would this be an issue? If Philadelphia had a season

0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:53.559
<v Speaker 2>like Jacksonville, would we be up in arms? And the answers, No,

0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:58.040
<v Speaker 2>you don't want the best team to get away with something.

0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:02.439
<v Speaker 2>Hey that's not fair. Okay, what are you gonna do

0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:08.679
<v Speaker 2>about it? Well, we're gonna tell the commissioner. Okay, it's

0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:11.240
<v Speaker 2>like that picture's throwing too hard. You know when you're

0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:13.880
<v Speaker 2>a little league, it's like, hey, he's throwing too hard.

0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:17.040
<v Speaker 2>All right, you got to pay. Don't throw so hard.

0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:20.520
<v Speaker 2>Throw a couple of breaking balls. Get Tommy john surgery,

0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:23.440
<v Speaker 2>all right, So jj Watt will join us. PAULI reached

0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:25.800
<v Speaker 2>out to him and he said that he has some

0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:30.360
<v Speaker 2>strong opinions on this. Uh, Joe and Montana, Joe, Good morning.

0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:31.400
<v Speaker 2>What's on your mind today?

0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:37.400
<v Speaker 8>Good morning Dan and Dan at second time long time

0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:44.480
<v Speaker 8>six three six, got you? I just got back reported

0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:48.400
<v Speaker 8>by Arta. Hey, I'm not even going to dignify this

0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:52.599
<v Speaker 8>push with a fancy name like tush push. It's assisting players.

0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:53.520
<v Speaker 9>Dan.

0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:54.760
<v Speaker 8>Do you remember the Ice Bowl?

0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:55.559
<v Speaker 7>Yes?

0:11:57.080 --> 0:12:00.000
<v Speaker 8>Okay? The back behind Bart Starr? What did he do

0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:01.800
<v Speaker 8>when Bart went into the end zone?

0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:06.200
<v Speaker 2>I think he laid on him.

0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:10.080
<v Speaker 8>No, he put his hands up. And why did he

0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:10.640
<v Speaker 8>do that.

0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:12.600
<v Speaker 2>So he wouldn't be accused of pushing him in?

0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:17.720
<v Speaker 8>That's correct. I am totally against this push.

0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:18.640
<v Speaker 7>I'm an old guy.

0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:21.920
<v Speaker 8>I'm gonna get off my turf guy, and I don't

0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:25.880
<v Speaker 8>like the way the NFL is going fritzy. That picture

0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:28.160
<v Speaker 8>of Bud Grant, I grew up in Minnesota. That picture

0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:31.280
<v Speaker 8>of Bud Bud Durrant. Please cover it because he doesn't

0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:32.000
<v Speaker 8>want to hear this.

0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:36.600
<v Speaker 2>Okay, thank you, thank you, Joe, Joe and Montana. Was

0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:41.560
<v Speaker 2>that Chuck mrcine, the running back behind Bart Starr when

0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:45.760
<v Speaker 2>he had the quarterback sneak behind Jerry Kramer. Jethro Pugh

0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:49.360
<v Speaker 2>was the defensive lineman for the Cowboys when Bart went

0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:55.880
<v Speaker 2>in for the quarterback sneak NFC Title game number thirty.

0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:56.960
<v Speaker 2>Is that right, correct?

0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:57.480
<v Speaker 7>Number thirty?

0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:01.120
<v Speaker 6>Chuck Marsine, Yes, he kind of lay his weight towards

0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:03.040
<v Speaker 6>Bart Starr, but he puts his hands up like I'm

0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:03.840
<v Speaker 6>not doing anything.

0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:10.360
<v Speaker 2>Let me see Andrew in Washington. Hi Andrew, good morning,

0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:12.800
<v Speaker 2>DP and Danna. Thanks for taking my call. As far

0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:16.120
<v Speaker 2>as that push push, I don't think it makes a difference.

0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:18.120
<v Speaker 2>Behind Jalen Hurts if somebody pushes him.

0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:20.640
<v Speaker 10>There's reports out there that he can, you know, squat

0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:23.040
<v Speaker 10>five or six hundred pounds as far as he gets,

0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:25.240
<v Speaker 10>they don't need somebody to push him, So I say

0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:27.480
<v Speaker 10>it doesn't really matter. I think the Green Made Packers

0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:30.120
<v Speaker 10>was just a team in the meeting that decided to say, Okay, fine,

0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:32.360
<v Speaker 10>we'll say something, so they brought it up.

0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:34.000
<v Speaker 1>On that note, I.

0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:36.600
<v Speaker 10>Also do have a stat of the day a couple

0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:39.720
<v Speaker 10>of them. The Lakers actually go into tonight's game with

0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:42.400
<v Speaker 10>the highest defensive rating in the NBA over the last

0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:45.600
<v Speaker 10>fifteen games, so they are doing something different. And with

0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:49.079
<v Speaker 10>their comeback win last night in overtime over the Thunder,

0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:53.439
<v Speaker 10>the Minnesota Timberwolves became the first team in NBA history

0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:55.880
<v Speaker 10>to win a game on the road against a team

0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:59.640
<v Speaker 10>with an eighty percent or better winning percentage when entering

0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:04.000
<v Speaker 10>the four quartered down at least twenty points.

0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:07.160
<v Speaker 2>Stat of the day, stat of the day, That beast

0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:08.240
<v Speaker 2>stat of the day.

0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:13.080
<v Speaker 7>Stat of the day? Here comes that? What stat of

0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:15.520
<v Speaker 7>the day?

0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:17.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna throw a flag on Andrew on that one.

0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:21.800
<v Speaker 2>That's a little too too deep of a cut.

0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:23.080
<v Speaker 7>A little too deep there.

0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:27.040
<v Speaker 2>Jake in Minnesota, Hi, Jake, what's on your mind today?

0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:30.120
<v Speaker 8>Hey? Dan?

0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:32.640
<v Speaker 11>Two things for you? Want to comment about the touchbush?

0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:35.880
<v Speaker 11>I sort of relate it to salbating in the NBA.

0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:38.360
<v Speaker 11>That was a big talk of discussion. Obviously two very

0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:40.760
<v Speaker 11>different things, but it feels like the NBA tried to

0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:44.000
<v Speaker 11>do something. James Harden championed it, and now we're still

0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:46.160
<v Speaker 11>talking about it. So I don't think the touchbush is

0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:48.040
<v Speaker 11>going anywhere. But I did have a question for you

0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:50.640
<v Speaker 11>that's sort of irrelevant on the discussion we're having. You

0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:53.120
<v Speaker 11>always talk about how you when you game, when you

0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:55.160
<v Speaker 11>came into the business here, you sort of took fandom

0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:57.480
<v Speaker 11>ship out of everything, But what about when you're like

0:14:57.520 --> 0:15:00.200
<v Speaker 11>watching the American like for the four Nations face out

0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:03.400
<v Speaker 11>for the Olympics. Do you root for the Americans there, Danny.

0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:09.240
<v Speaker 2>Nope, Nope, doesn't matter. It became a there was better

0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:13.600
<v Speaker 2>content because Canada won. I'm in the content business. What

0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:19.320
<v Speaker 2>is the best story? But look, do I want Americans

0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:23.640
<v Speaker 2>to win? Yeah, But if you said Canada was going

0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:25.760
<v Speaker 2>to win, the four nations got to be like great,

0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:30.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm fine with that. Sweden's got I don't care. It's

0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:34.920
<v Speaker 2>what is the best story to tell instead of you know,

0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:37.720
<v Speaker 2>that's a predictable story over and over and over, like

0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:40.240
<v Speaker 2>Kansas City. If Kansas City had won the Super Bowl, fine,

0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:46.800
<v Speaker 2>Eagles winning great, doesn't matter. I do miss the high

0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:49.880
<v Speaker 2>highs and low lows when it comes to fandom. I've

0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:52.120
<v Speaker 2>said that before. That's the one thing that I had

0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:55.640
<v Speaker 2>to sacrifice. But you have to do that because I

0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:57.360
<v Speaker 2>don't want you to go, oh, he's got a bias

0:15:57.480 --> 0:16:01.520
<v Speaker 2>towards or against because I I can't do that. You

0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:06.160
<v Speaker 2>can't do this job and be a fan. Others do it.

0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:08.960
<v Speaker 2>Good for them. I came into the business the same

0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:10.960
<v Speaker 2>way I'm going to go out, and that is trying

0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:14.360
<v Speaker 2>to be fair to everybody. The best I can do.

0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:17.200
<v Speaker 2>I root for a player or a story, yes, but

0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:19.640
<v Speaker 2>if it doesn't happen, it's not the end of the

0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:23.360
<v Speaker 2>world to me. I'm not emotionally invested like that. I'm

0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:26.920
<v Speaker 2>intellectually invested. I have to do a job, and that's

0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:29.200
<v Speaker 2>the best way I can do my job. I do

0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:32.400
<v Speaker 2>root for JJ Watt and his broadcasting career. I do

0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:35.960
<v Speaker 2>got another baby on the way and I root for

0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:40.280
<v Speaker 2>him having as many babies as and his soccer team

0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:45.120
<v Speaker 2>Burnley Y. Yeah, I hope that he does well with that.

0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:46.280
<v Speaker 2>They're looking at promotion.

0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:49.040
<v Speaker 4>I think I think they're third in the championship, which

0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:50.960
<v Speaker 4>means they would be right in like a playoff spot

0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:53.560
<v Speaker 4>to get up to Okay, exciting.

0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:56.280

0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:28.719
<v Speaker 7>Dropping this summer, this summer, looking forward to it, Okay,

0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:29.400
<v Speaker 7>any advice?

0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:40.120
<v Speaker 3>No, Obviously you start thinking about like how many and everything.

0:18:40.160 --> 0:18:42.880
<v Speaker 3>And I've been asking a lot of people and there's

0:18:43.080 --> 0:18:45.200
<v Speaker 3>it's almost split fifty to fifty on people to say

0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:47.360
<v Speaker 3>going from one to two is harder, going from two

0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:48.199
<v Speaker 3>to three is harder.

0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:52.440
<v Speaker 2>I would say one to two is going to change you.

0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:57.159
<v Speaker 2>But two to three, now you're already in chaos. So

0:18:57.359 --> 0:18:59.560
<v Speaker 2>once you get to three. We got to three and

0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:01.600
<v Speaker 2>we meet at least said we wanted to have a fourth,

0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:04.840
<v Speaker 2>like we didn't. Wow, that was it? So I had four?

0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:08.359
<v Speaker 2>Well my wife had four under seven years of age,

0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:13.560
<v Speaker 2>so we were it was. It was chaos, it really was.

0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:16.679
<v Speaker 2>But looking back on it, they grew up together. Uh,

0:19:17.040 --> 0:19:20.679
<v Speaker 2>they're very close now. So hopefully you know you have

0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:25.159
<v Speaker 2>a girl and that'll that'll crush you, that will absolutely

0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:29.440
<v Speaker 2>rush you. So that do you know what you're having?

0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:31.560
<v Speaker 10>I know?

0:19:31.760 --> 0:19:35.720
<v Speaker 7>Yes, Okay, you tell me, world doesn't no?

0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:41.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh okay, good try though. I mean that's that's good radio.

0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:44.040
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's good hosting, it's content. But if it's

0:19:44.040 --> 0:19:46.760
<v Speaker 2>a girl, I have three, so that's where I can

0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:49.800
<v Speaker 2>help you with that. But if you want to, you know.

0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:52.359
<v Speaker 7>I mean, you're you're trying to leave me down the

0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:54.359
<v Speaker 7>road here, and I'm not going okay, all right, just

0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:56.119
<v Speaker 7>not all right, although.

0:19:55.880 --> 0:19:58.280
<v Speaker 3>I did see uh, I'm sure Pauli has plenty of

0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:01.520
<v Speaker 3>tips for me for girls. He sent me he was

0:20:01.560 --> 0:20:05.399
<v Speaker 3>trying to give Fritzy a bit of stick for how

0:20:05.440 --> 0:20:06.920
<v Speaker 3>many times he texted me to get me on the

0:20:06.920 --> 0:20:09.200
<v Speaker 3>show last time and paul got me on the.

0:20:09.119 --> 0:20:09.879
<v Speaker 7>Show this time.

0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:13.160
<v Speaker 3>But I said, if you're gonna give me stick, then

0:20:13.200 --> 0:20:15.479
<v Speaker 3>you can't, Or if you're gonna get Fritzie stick, then you

0:20:15.520 --> 0:20:18.639
<v Speaker 3>can't send me highlights of your daughter's high.

0:20:18.480 --> 0:20:20.600
<v Speaker 7>School basketball team in the text messages.

0:20:20.680 --> 0:20:23.920
<v Speaker 6>Oh I no, apologies. My daughter said to me, can

0:20:24.040 --> 0:20:25.760
<v Speaker 6>Uncle JJ take a look at my shot? I said,

0:20:25.800 --> 0:20:28.399
<v Speaker 6>of course he can. I love you on fire.

0:20:28.480 --> 0:20:30.720
<v Speaker 3>I mean she is a very good basketball player, so

0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:32.800
<v Speaker 3>the highlights well deserved.

0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:34.160
<v Speaker 7>But I would never have.

0:20:34.080 --> 0:20:36.560
<v Speaker 3>Said anything if you didn't come at Fritzy first. So

0:20:36.600 --> 0:20:38.320
<v Speaker 3>I protect my friend Todd.

0:20:38.560 --> 0:20:41.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad Paulie's sending you the videos in no longer us,

0:20:41.520 --> 0:20:45.760
<v Speaker 2>so there's a benefit for all of this moving around.

0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:48.760
<v Speaker 2>Your lasting memory of the combine was what.

0:20:51.880 --> 0:20:55.439
<v Speaker 3>The relief when it was done, and warm ups in

0:20:55.600 --> 0:20:58.480
<v Speaker 3>the hotel ballrooms. I think those are the two things

0:20:58.480 --> 0:21:01.560
<v Speaker 3>that I remember the most. And then the train station

0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:04.159
<v Speaker 3>obviously is its own. You guys know, I don't know

0:21:04.160 --> 0:21:06.200
<v Speaker 3>how much the outside world really knows about the train

0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:08.920
<v Speaker 3>station and everything that goes on the train station, all

0:21:08.960 --> 0:21:12.880
<v Speaker 3>the interviews, the meeting of coaches and hallways, and it's

0:21:12.880 --> 0:21:16.840
<v Speaker 3>basically just four days of It's literally the biggest job

0:21:16.880 --> 0:21:19.840
<v Speaker 3>interview of your life. So you're walking around twenty four

0:21:19.880 --> 0:21:23.320
<v Speaker 3>to seven just trying to make sure that you know

0:21:23.600 --> 0:21:26.560
<v Speaker 3>everything is going according to plan because this can change

0:21:26.600 --> 0:21:29.919
<v Speaker 3>millions of dollars. It can change your entire future.

0:21:30.440 --> 0:21:33.920
<v Speaker 2>But are you It is your analogy. The train station

0:21:34.119 --> 0:21:36.159
<v Speaker 2>like the car wash where.

0:21:36.320 --> 0:21:39.600
<v Speaker 3>No, No, it's a literal train station. It's a Oh,

0:21:39.640 --> 0:21:42.919
<v Speaker 3>there's an actual train station in Indianapolis. It's like a

0:21:42.960 --> 0:21:46.520
<v Speaker 3>decommissioned train station. So you are inside the actual train

0:21:46.960 --> 0:21:49.520
<v Speaker 3>the train station with train cars, like you're doing interviews

0:21:49.520 --> 0:21:50.760
<v Speaker 3>inside the train cars.

0:21:51.080 --> 0:21:53.840
<v Speaker 7>It's not like the UESD car wash. No, it's a

0:21:53.880 --> 0:21:54.400
<v Speaker 7>real train.

0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:57.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh. I wonder why they don't show this or give us.

0:21:58.320 --> 0:22:01.399
<v Speaker 3>Oh I thought you got I thought, No, it's a

0:22:01.440 --> 0:22:03.800
<v Speaker 3>pretty cool place and I think that's why Indianapolis is

0:22:03.800 --> 0:22:06.560
<v Speaker 3>so well versed, besides being so walkable. But they have

0:22:06.640 --> 0:22:10.080
<v Speaker 3>this huge, old, decommissioned train station and it's turned into

0:22:10.119 --> 0:22:12.439
<v Speaker 3>like a hotel, so all the hotel rooms around the edges,

0:22:12.800 --> 0:22:15.399
<v Speaker 3>and then in the middle all the trains are like offices.

0:22:15.640 --> 0:22:18.680
<v Speaker 7>So you walk into one train and there's meetings with

0:22:18.680 --> 0:22:20.320
<v Speaker 7>the NFL teams and then you walk out.

0:22:20.520 --> 0:22:23.920
<v Speaker 3>It's crazy, but actually a good You brought me to

0:22:23.960 --> 0:22:27.919
<v Speaker 3>a good point here. My lasting impression is my eventual

0:22:28.000 --> 0:22:30.920
<v Speaker 3>defensive line coach, Bill Kohlar for the Houston Texans. After

0:22:30.960 --> 0:22:33.080
<v Speaker 3>my meeting with the Texans, I walked out of the room.

0:22:33.480 --> 0:22:35.800
<v Speaker 3>He followed me out of the room and he looks

0:22:35.800 --> 0:22:37.920
<v Speaker 3>at me and he goes, I just gotta.

0:22:37.680 --> 0:22:40.760
<v Speaker 7>Ask you real quick. You think you play hard? Good coach?

0:22:40.800 --> 0:22:42.919
<v Speaker 3>I play hard every single snap, like I gave everything

0:22:42.920 --> 0:22:44.840
<v Speaker 3>I have, so you think you can really though you

0:22:44.880 --> 0:22:46.760
<v Speaker 3>think you play hard, it's a coach. I give it

0:22:46.800 --> 0:22:49.760
<v Speaker 3>everything I have every single snap. He goes, You're a

0:22:49.840 --> 0:22:52.080
<v Speaker 3>lion son of a bitch. You don't play hard at all.

0:22:52.280 --> 0:22:56.120
<v Speaker 3>And I'm like, well, not going to Houston check him off.

0:22:56.800 --> 0:22:59.760
<v Speaker 3>And then sure enough, what's he trying?

0:22:59.800 --> 0:23:01.880
<v Speaker 2>To give me the look.

0:23:01.960 --> 0:23:04.760
<v Speaker 3>That's who he is. My whole first year, I thought

0:23:04.920 --> 0:23:07.440
<v Speaker 3>maybe he did. I thought this man hated me. I

0:23:07.480 --> 0:23:10.040
<v Speaker 3>know I hated him. I couldn't stand him for my life.

0:23:10.080 --> 0:23:12.840
<v Speaker 3>I was I considered quitting football. I was like, I

0:23:12.880 --> 0:23:15.320
<v Speaker 3>don't like this. This is not fun. Is this what

0:23:15.400 --> 0:23:17.080
<v Speaker 3>I actually wanted? Am I even good enough? Am I

0:23:17.119 --> 0:23:20.159
<v Speaker 3>going to get cut? And now I went to his

0:23:20.320 --> 0:23:22.680
<v Speaker 3>Hall of Fame ceremony for his college Football Hall of

0:23:22.680 --> 0:23:25.679
<v Speaker 3>Fame induction. We're best friends. We golfed together, and I

0:23:25.720 --> 0:23:28.520
<v Speaker 3>love the man and I'm so thankful for him. But

0:23:28.640 --> 0:23:31.360
<v Speaker 3>he was a tough, old school hard nose. He bought

0:23:31.400 --> 0:23:34.320
<v Speaker 3>a bear. He literally wrestled a bear when he played

0:23:34.320 --> 0:23:35.440
<v Speaker 3>for the Cincinnati Bengals.

0:23:36.800 --> 0:23:42.280
<v Speaker 2>JJ Watt NFL Today on CBS Studio Analyst, The tush

0:23:42.320 --> 0:23:44.800
<v Speaker 2>push is going to get a lot of conversation and

0:23:44.960 --> 0:23:48.359
<v Speaker 2>feels like it's going to be kind of in the

0:23:48.480 --> 0:23:50.840
<v Speaker 2>rotation here with a lot of shows for the next

0:23:50.880 --> 0:23:54.840
<v Speaker 2>couple of weeks. Packers came forward and they said that

0:23:54.920 --> 0:23:56.720
<v Speaker 2>they would like to get this Outlawned. How do you

0:23:56.840 --> 0:24:00.720
<v Speaker 2>view the Packers in this situation coming forward to say

0:24:00.720 --> 0:24:03.120
<v Speaker 2>to the NFL we want this outlawed.

0:24:04.640 --> 0:24:06.000
<v Speaker 7>Oh, I mean, I don't mind.

0:24:06.080 --> 0:24:07.920
<v Speaker 3>Like people put up rules every year, so I don't

0:24:07.920 --> 0:24:10.000
<v Speaker 3>mind when teams put up rules if if that's what

0:24:10.040 --> 0:24:11.679
<v Speaker 3>they want to do, if that's something they feel like,

0:24:12.119 --> 0:24:13.200
<v Speaker 3>you know, it doesn't matter.

0:24:13.200 --> 0:24:15.120
<v Speaker 7>It's not going to work. I mean, I don't They're

0:24:15.200 --> 0:24:17.440
<v Speaker 7>not going to outlaw that play. It's very difficult to do.

0:24:17.840 --> 0:24:22.200
<v Speaker 3>I also think, like everybody knows, if every team was

0:24:22.240 --> 0:24:24.120
<v Speaker 3>great at it, it would be a problem, like if

0:24:24.119 --> 0:24:26.280
<v Speaker 3>it was just a guarantee third and one, fourth and one.

0:24:26.320 --> 0:24:29.879
<v Speaker 3>But only the Eagles have truly truly mastered it. And

0:24:29.960 --> 0:24:32.560
<v Speaker 3>we watched that Bill's Chiefs game, and we saw the

0:24:32.600 --> 0:24:34.800
<v Speaker 3>Chiefs knew that the Bill's had a tendency to run

0:24:34.800 --> 0:24:36.720
<v Speaker 3>the quarterback seat to the left. They lined up and

0:24:36.760 --> 0:24:39.520
<v Speaker 3>protected it and it worked and it literally got them

0:24:39.520 --> 0:24:40.879
<v Speaker 3>to the super Bowl because of it.

0:24:40.960 --> 0:24:43.000
<v Speaker 7>So until every.

0:24:42.960 --> 0:24:45.119
<v Speaker 3>One of the thirty two teams is successful at it,

0:24:45.840 --> 0:24:48.400
<v Speaker 3>you can't outlaud it. Just you can't punish the entire

0:24:48.520 --> 0:24:50.639
<v Speaker 3>league because the Eagles are good at it. The Eagles

0:24:50.640 --> 0:24:52.000
<v Speaker 3>are just really really good at it.

0:24:52.080 --> 0:24:55.400
<v Speaker 2>How do you defend it? As a former defensive lineman.

0:24:55.880 --> 0:24:58.000
<v Speaker 3>I honestly know the way that the Eagles do it,

0:24:58.040 --> 0:25:01.040
<v Speaker 3>and how good they are at it. Honestly, think that

0:25:01.119 --> 0:25:03.800
<v Speaker 3>if you do, if you defended it one hundred times,

0:25:03.840 --> 0:25:05.399
<v Speaker 3>you might get lucky if you if you even if

0:25:05.440 --> 0:25:08.239
<v Speaker 3>you had the perfect defense, But you have to have

0:25:08.280 --> 0:25:12.000
<v Speaker 3>a couple guys going extremely low immediately on the snap,

0:25:12.560 --> 0:25:14.840
<v Speaker 3>which does come down to almost timing it because they

0:25:14.840 --> 0:25:15.920
<v Speaker 3>know the count you don't.

0:25:16.000 --> 0:25:17.280
<v Speaker 7>That's where the big advantage is.

0:25:18.000 --> 0:25:19.359
<v Speaker 3>And then you have to have a couple of guys

0:25:19.359 --> 0:25:21.439
<v Speaker 3>going over the top and once again hitting it at

0:25:21.440 --> 0:25:24.119
<v Speaker 3>the perfect time. So you have to try and stop

0:25:24.119 --> 0:25:27.240
<v Speaker 3>those old lineman's momentum, and then you also have to

0:25:27.240 --> 0:25:30.480
<v Speaker 3>try and stop Jalen's momentum with the push. But that's

0:25:30.760 --> 0:25:32.639
<v Speaker 3>the crazy thing to me about the push push Dan,

0:25:33.359 --> 0:25:37.560
<v Speaker 3>is that not every single team practices it and perfects

0:25:37.600 --> 0:25:39.520
<v Speaker 3>it the way that the Eagles have. Yes, Jalen is

0:25:39.560 --> 0:25:42.320
<v Speaker 3>extremely strong and he's going to be he's more powerful

0:25:42.359 --> 0:25:44.360
<v Speaker 3>than most quarterbacks. Yes, they have a couple of great

0:25:44.400 --> 0:25:46.800
<v Speaker 3>pushers behind him. Yes their line has perfected it. But

0:25:46.880 --> 0:25:49.439
<v Speaker 3>you can't tell me that if a team practiced it

0:25:49.560 --> 0:25:52.359
<v Speaker 3>every single week and truly perfected it and got the

0:25:52.400 --> 0:25:54.439
<v Speaker 3>push down and got the line of the time it

0:25:54.520 --> 0:25:56.159
<v Speaker 3>up perfectly and everybody to do it together.

0:25:56.920 --> 0:25:58.080
<v Speaker 2>What's going on in your house?

0:25:58.080 --> 0:26:00.880
<v Speaker 7>Some swollow? It's a great time to have a little

0:26:00.880 --> 0:26:05.000
<v Speaker 7>construction going on. Living Listen, it was I'm good on

0:26:05.040 --> 0:26:05.359
<v Speaker 7>your end?

0:26:05.480 --> 0:26:08.359
<v Speaker 2>Was it planned like it is that your wife?

0:26:08.400 --> 0:26:11.440
<v Speaker 7>Whether I'm not supposed to be happening right?

0:26:12.359 --> 0:26:16.640
<v Speaker 3>I can't see the back entrance, so clearly, what the

0:26:16.720 --> 0:26:17.120
<v Speaker 3>hell do.

0:26:17.080 --> 0:26:19.640
<v Speaker 2>You want to do? You want to look outside? Right now?

0:26:19.920 --> 0:26:21.480
<v Speaker 7>Should I? Should I go shut this down?

0:26:21.560 --> 0:26:21.760
<v Speaker 11>Yeah?

0:26:21.800 --> 0:26:22.679
<v Speaker 7>Give me, I'm gonna tell him.

0:26:22.720 --> 0:26:25.440
<v Speaker 3>Give me ten minutes here, okay, you can stay on

0:26:25.480 --> 0:26:28.520
<v Speaker 3>the audio and here, okay, all right, all.

0:26:28.480 --> 0:26:29.720
<v Speaker 7>Right, it's just fun.

0:26:31.040 --> 0:26:33.400
<v Speaker 2>Maybe you're maybe you're building the baby room, the new

0:26:33.400 --> 0:26:36.800
<v Speaker 2>baby room.

0:26:36.960 --> 0:26:40.239
<v Speaker 7>Could you take like a ten minute breakfast? Sorry, thank you,

0:26:40.280 --> 0:26:44.760
<v Speaker 7>just ten minutes. I'll come, I'll come in, thank you. Yes, yes,

0:26:48.160 --> 0:26:50.760
<v Speaker 7>all right, we got it, bought ourselves.

0:26:50.760 --> 0:26:53.680
<v Speaker 2>Ten minutes there, okay, great, all right, I'd like it.

0:26:53.880 --> 0:26:56.560
<v Speaker 2>You don't even know what's going on at your house now?

0:26:56.920 --> 0:26:57.040
<v Speaker 11>Uh?

0:26:57.440 --> 0:27:00.960
<v Speaker 7>Well now I do, okay, I thank you? Yeah, thank you, great,

0:27:01.080 --> 0:27:02.040
<v Speaker 7>great man, great man.

0:27:02.840 --> 0:27:07.080
<v Speaker 2>The regular play compared to the tush push? How much

0:27:07.119 --> 0:27:12.360
<v Speaker 2>more dangerous is that tush push?

0:27:12.720 --> 0:27:15.560
<v Speaker 7>And you're talking all plays versus the tush push.

0:27:15.600 --> 0:27:18.160
<v Speaker 2>In terms of danger, well, let's say just a typical

0:27:18.240 --> 0:27:21.280
<v Speaker 2>bunny seen injured by the tush push. Chris Jones in

0:27:21.320 --> 0:27:23.920
<v Speaker 2>the Super Bowl. Look like he got his neck banged

0:27:24.000 --> 0:27:24.880
<v Speaker 2>up a little bit there.

0:27:25.840 --> 0:27:29.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, But I mean I would say that, I would

0:27:29.640 --> 0:27:33.680
<v Speaker 3>say that it's not it's It's really hard to say

0:27:33.720 --> 0:27:35.560
<v Speaker 3>because obviously, being on a D line, I.

0:27:35.440 --> 0:27:38.000
<v Speaker 7>Know how difficulty it is, especially when you're cranking a

0:27:38.040 --> 0:27:38.560
<v Speaker 7>neck down there.

0:27:38.600 --> 0:27:40.920
<v Speaker 3>But I would say that a high speed collision from

0:27:41.000 --> 0:27:44.200
<v Speaker 3>further away is much more dangerous than you know, two

0:27:44.200 --> 0:27:46.720
<v Speaker 3>inches away, damming yourself in there.

0:27:47.720 --> 0:27:50.880
<v Speaker 2>The NFL is the NFL is looking for injury data,

0:27:50.960 --> 0:27:55.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm guessing JJ because once they have that, they're all about,

0:27:55.359 --> 0:27:58.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, safety protection, you know, the jumping over the line.

0:27:59.119 --> 0:28:00.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this is the loup poll.

0:28:00.320 --> 0:28:02.080
<v Speaker 7>Here are they are they?

0:28:02.119 --> 0:28:04.200
<v Speaker 2>Do you think the NFL won't block blocks?

0:28:04.920 --> 0:28:06.000
<v Speaker 7>Are a cup blocks still in the game?

0:28:06.119 --> 0:28:10.240
<v Speaker 2>I agree with you, one hundred percent. I agree, But

0:28:10.400 --> 0:28:15.600
<v Speaker 2>this this play is predictable and it's boring, and you know,

0:28:15.640 --> 0:28:17.679
<v Speaker 2>it's like the extra point they had to move it

0:28:17.720 --> 0:28:21.040
<v Speaker 2>back to make it interesting. I wonder this is my

0:28:22.000 --> 0:28:26.200
<v Speaker 2>tweaking take away. The lineman behind Jalen Hurts, then it's

0:28:26.200 --> 0:28:29.679
<v Speaker 2>a quarterback sneak and nobody can complain about this. The

0:28:29.720 --> 0:28:33.159
<v Speaker 2>Eagles will still be successful, maybe not as much, but

0:28:33.280 --> 0:28:36.440
<v Speaker 2>just take the guy out from behind Jalen Hurts. That's it.

0:28:37.280 --> 0:28:39.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't disagree with you at all. If they are

0:28:39.000 --> 0:28:40.560
<v Speaker 3>going to change it, that's the way to change it.

0:28:40.680 --> 0:28:42.800
<v Speaker 3>I also don't disagree with you that they're going to

0:28:42.840 --> 0:28:45.480
<v Speaker 3>be just as successful. I don't think the pusher actually

0:28:45.480 --> 0:28:49.000
<v Speaker 3>does a ton for them, because it's how good their

0:28:49.040 --> 0:28:52.840
<v Speaker 3>offensive line is at it. They are so tight, they

0:28:52.880 --> 0:28:55.800
<v Speaker 3>are so low, they all fire off at the exact

0:28:55.880 --> 0:28:59.200
<v Speaker 3>same time on the snapcount, and Jalen is so strong

0:28:59.440 --> 0:29:01.880
<v Speaker 3>that he just is beyond Most of the time, he

0:29:02.000 --> 0:29:04.480
<v Speaker 3>is successful without the pusher even being an issue.

0:29:05.000 --> 0:29:08.240
<v Speaker 2>Have you talked to the commissioner or anybody about why

0:29:08.280 --> 0:29:11.040
<v Speaker 2>do they allow these linemen to cut you?

0:29:12.840 --> 0:29:13.400
<v Speaker 7>Last year?

0:29:13.600 --> 0:29:15.680
<v Speaker 3>We have the commissioner to come into CBS every year

0:29:15.680 --> 0:29:18.120
<v Speaker 3>before the season starts, and we can you know, we

0:29:18.160 --> 0:29:20.160
<v Speaker 3>talked to him asking questions last year. I was asking

0:29:20.240 --> 0:29:23.880
<v Speaker 3>him more broad questions about football in general, the violence,

0:29:23.920 --> 0:29:26.360
<v Speaker 3>about the flag, football aspect, and which way it's going.

0:29:27.040 --> 0:29:29.440
<v Speaker 3>I haven't asked about that specifically, but it is one

0:29:29.480 --> 0:29:32.200
<v Speaker 3>that I've brought up in NFLPA conversations. It's one that

0:29:32.240 --> 0:29:34.800
<v Speaker 3>I bring up anytime anyone wants to talk to me

0:29:34.840 --> 0:29:38.800
<v Speaker 3>about health and safety or protection. Obviously, being anti lineman,

0:29:38.800 --> 0:29:40.920
<v Speaker 3>I know how much they protect the quarterback. Can't hit

0:29:40.960 --> 0:29:42.880
<v Speaker 3>him low, can't hit him high, can't hit him here,

0:29:42.960 --> 0:29:46.479
<v Speaker 3>can't hit him there. Yet as a defensive lineman, I

0:29:46.520 --> 0:29:49.920
<v Speaker 3>can fire off the ball and they can purposefully split

0:29:49.960 --> 0:29:52.040
<v Speaker 3>the blockers so that I come off free, and they

0:29:52.080 --> 0:29:54.800
<v Speaker 3>can have a guy come from the side and literally

0:29:54.840 --> 0:29:57.680
<v Speaker 3>his coaching point is to put his helmet on my knee.

0:29:58.360 --> 0:30:00.800
<v Speaker 3>So don't tell me that it's all about health and

0:30:00.800 --> 0:30:03.400
<v Speaker 3>safety when that's a perfectly legal block. And I'm not

0:30:03.440 --> 0:30:05.160
<v Speaker 3>saying that it should be a flag because at the

0:30:05.160 --> 0:30:06.000
<v Speaker 3>current moment it's not.

0:30:06.080 --> 0:30:09.200
<v Speaker 7>So it's legal. I have to protect it, but there's no.

0:30:09.200 --> 0:30:11.080
<v Speaker 3>Place for it in the game, and it it is

0:30:11.160 --> 0:30:13.520
<v Speaker 3>literally the goal of it is to wipe out a

0:30:13.520 --> 0:30:14.120
<v Speaker 3>guy's knee.

0:30:15.400 --> 0:30:18.160
<v Speaker 2>I feel bad for you. Like the backdromp you got

0:30:18.160 --> 0:30:20.600
<v Speaker 2>there is pretty pedestrian.

0:30:21.720 --> 0:30:25.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, I know. I mean, my wife's the real

0:30:25.240 --> 0:30:26.920
<v Speaker 3>star of the show. So that's why the fastest goal

0:30:26.920 --> 0:30:28.240
<v Speaker 3>in the US women's soccer history.

0:30:31.880 --> 0:30:37.280
<v Speaker 7>I don't have that. Yeah, definitely quicker. She's much more agile.

0:30:37.400 --> 0:30:39.120
<v Speaker 2>You don't even have your jersey framed.

0:30:41.360 --> 0:30:41.680
<v Speaker 7>This.

0:30:41.680 --> 0:30:43.200
<v Speaker 3>This is a book. This is a book from the

0:30:43.240 --> 0:30:46.080
<v Speaker 3>Houston Texans, A really cool book. When I retired, they

0:30:46.080 --> 0:30:48.680
<v Speaker 3>gave me a book of all my career.

0:30:48.760 --> 0:30:51.960
<v Speaker 2>All right, okay, you got to dress that up a

0:30:51.960 --> 0:30:52.600
<v Speaker 2>little bit here.

0:30:53.200 --> 0:30:55.560
<v Speaker 3>I mean, what do you want? I got the Arnold

0:30:55.600 --> 0:30:59.400
<v Speaker 3>book over here, big, big, heavy book. I don't It's

0:30:59.400 --> 0:31:00.200
<v Speaker 3>a great book.

0:31:02.040 --> 0:31:02.400
<v Speaker 7>I got.

0:31:02.840 --> 0:31:06.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean, what's your yours? You're just I don't

0:31:06.000 --> 0:31:08.160
<v Speaker 3>have the cool memorabilia that you have where I can

0:31:08.240 --> 0:31:10.480
<v Speaker 3>just shower it all over my entire room.

0:31:11.040 --> 0:31:15.040
<v Speaker 7>Well, I don't know, just I mean, it's incredible, it

0:31:15.080 --> 0:31:18.480
<v Speaker 7>really is. Yeah, And how often you switching stuff out

0:31:18.640 --> 0:31:22.600
<v Speaker 7>every day? Every day and it's only you. Nobody else

0:31:22.640 --> 0:31:23.080
<v Speaker 7>touches it.

0:31:23.160 --> 0:31:27.920
<v Speaker 2>They're not allowed to. Would you send me a Burnley

0:31:28.280 --> 0:31:30.920
<v Speaker 2>patch and I'll put a question. I'll put it up

0:31:30.960 --> 0:31:33.240
<v Speaker 2>here on the front. Okay, now, explain this soccer bet

0:31:33.280 --> 0:31:34.080
<v Speaker 2>that's going on here.

0:31:35.280 --> 0:31:38.840
<v Speaker 7>Yeah. It was started as a literal joke.

0:31:39.120 --> 0:31:41.560
<v Speaker 3>So like obviously we talk to the guys on our

0:31:41.560 --> 0:31:45.440
<v Speaker 3>team all the time and uh, James Trafford our keeper

0:31:45.600 --> 0:31:48.480
<v Speaker 3>us literally he'll be the England number one keeper someday'

0:31:48.640 --> 0:31:49.320
<v Speaker 3>he's that good.

0:31:50.240 --> 0:31:51.560
<v Speaker 7>And he messaged me one day.

0:31:52.120 --> 0:31:54.440
<v Speaker 3>It was we were talking about the Steelers Bengals because

0:31:54.440 --> 0:31:56.480
<v Speaker 3>obviously my brother plays on the Steelers, and he was

0:31:57.040 --> 0:31:58.640
<v Speaker 3>messing with me and he said, hey, do you fancy

0:31:58.720 --> 0:32:01.920
<v Speaker 3>coming out of retirement and playing the Bengals? And so,

0:32:02.440 --> 0:32:05.600
<v Speaker 3>being a smart ass, I said, yeah, you don't give

0:32:05.680 --> 0:32:07.920
<v Speaker 3>up another goal the rest of the season, I'll come

0:32:07.960 --> 0:32:11.240
<v Speaker 3>out of retirement play for the Bengals. There were twenty

0:32:11.560 --> 0:32:15.600
<v Speaker 3>eight games left at the time. I was like, this

0:32:15.680 --> 0:32:18.880
<v Speaker 3>is this is just a joke. Next game he didn't

0:32:18.920 --> 0:32:20.840
<v Speaker 3>give up a goal. So I messaged him again and

0:32:20.880 --> 0:32:24.520
<v Speaker 3>I said, hey, you're going to take this serious, huh?

0:32:25.000 --> 0:32:27.000
<v Speaker 7>And he was like, I really want you to play

0:32:27.000 --> 0:32:27.640
<v Speaker 7>for the Bengals.

0:32:27.680 --> 0:32:30.320
<v Speaker 3>So two games later, two more games with no goals,

0:32:30.400 --> 0:32:32.640
<v Speaker 3>I messaged him back. I said, all right, it's getting

0:32:32.640 --> 0:32:35.200
<v Speaker 3>a little ridiculous. Now do you think you can make

0:32:35.200 --> 0:32:36.800
<v Speaker 3>it the whole way? And he goes, how do you

0:32:36.840 --> 0:32:39.560
<v Speaker 3>eat a whale one bite at a time? So he

0:32:39.720 --> 0:32:44.640
<v Speaker 3>just and now here we sit and we're thirteen games later,

0:32:45.000 --> 0:32:47.120
<v Speaker 3>and he is not giving up a goal in thirteen games.

0:32:47.160 --> 0:32:47.760
<v Speaker 7>He is one.

0:32:48.560 --> 0:32:51.280
<v Speaker 3>He's beaten every record along the way. There's only one

0:32:51.320 --> 0:32:54.400
<v Speaker 3>record left that he hasn't broken in the history of

0:32:54.520 --> 0:32:59.200
<v Speaker 3>English football, which is old as hell. He is setting records,

0:33:00.080 --> 0:33:03.280
<v Speaker 3>so it's getting pretty serious. We've created a lot of

0:33:03.400 --> 0:33:07.320
<v Speaker 3>claric fans in Cincinnati, Ohio, which is really cool. We're

0:33:07.320 --> 0:33:10.240
<v Speaker 3>getting a lot bigger ratings and numbers from the Ohio region,

0:33:10.440 --> 0:33:11.640
<v Speaker 3>so it's been really fun.

0:33:12.000 --> 0:33:14.800
<v Speaker 2>Okay, do you have a game plan. Let's say he

0:33:14.840 --> 0:33:15.840
<v Speaker 2>doesn't give up a goal.

0:33:17.440 --> 0:33:18.040
<v Speaker 7>I'll do it.

0:33:18.720 --> 0:33:22.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I'm if he does that, which is insane.

0:33:22.040 --> 0:33:25.400
<v Speaker 3>I mean, there's twelve thirteen games left. If he does it,

0:33:25.400 --> 0:33:28.960
<v Speaker 3>it's insane enough and respectable enough that I will absolutely

0:33:28.960 --> 0:33:31.239
<v Speaker 3>follow through and I'll go out there. Who knows they

0:33:31.280 --> 0:33:32.920
<v Speaker 3>even want me. I don't even know. I haven't talked

0:33:32.920 --> 0:33:37.280
<v Speaker 3>to him, but I'm in shape. I go play.

0:33:37.320 --> 0:33:40.920
<v Speaker 2>But are you contractually You're not obligated to the Texans?

0:33:40.920 --> 0:33:42.480
<v Speaker 2>There anybody?

0:33:43.080 --> 0:33:44.840
<v Speaker 7>No? No, I don't even know how.

0:33:44.920 --> 0:33:47.720
<v Speaker 3>I didn't even think that far ahead.

0:33:46.880 --> 0:33:51.600
<v Speaker 7>How do you unretired? Is there? I never filed retirement PaperWorks?

0:33:51.600 --> 0:33:53.360
<v Speaker 7>Does that mean I have to if I have to

0:33:53.400 --> 0:33:54.840
<v Speaker 7>file paperwork to get.

0:33:54.640 --> 0:33:57.880
<v Speaker 2>Back in, I don't. I don't know if they actually

0:33:57.880 --> 0:33:59.840
<v Speaker 2>make you file retirement papers.

0:34:00.240 --> 0:34:05.000
<v Speaker 7>I didn't, So no you don't. Yeah, damn, Yeah, what

0:34:05.040 --> 0:34:08.320
<v Speaker 7>would you do? I mean, I mean, I'm technically I

0:34:08.360 --> 0:34:09.640
<v Speaker 7>would assume I'm a free agent.

0:34:10.120 --> 0:34:12.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we need to work on the Yeah.

0:34:12.840 --> 0:34:14.440
<v Speaker 7>No, we're getting closer. It's it couldn't.

0:34:14.480 --> 0:34:16.520
<v Speaker 3>He said they have two penalties in one game, which

0:34:16.560 --> 0:34:20.759
<v Speaker 3>was insane. Our other defender, CJ. Egan Riley, he's a

0:34:20.800 --> 0:34:23.719
<v Speaker 3>massive Bengals fan. So I'm I'm going to reach out

0:34:23.760 --> 0:34:25.760
<v Speaker 3>to the Bengals here and I gotta.

0:34:25.520 --> 0:34:27.080
<v Speaker 7>At least get these guys some gear. You know.

0:34:27.120 --> 0:34:28.960
<v Speaker 3>I'll reach out to Burrow and see if you'll sign

0:34:29.000 --> 0:34:32.640
<v Speaker 3>the jersey form because they're actual big fans, which I

0:34:32.719 --> 0:34:33.759
<v Speaker 3>don't understand that.

0:34:33.920 --> 0:34:34.840
<v Speaker 2>How did that happen?

0:34:35.360 --> 0:34:36.520
<v Speaker 7>I don't know. I'm gonna ask him.

0:34:36.520 --> 0:34:38.640
<v Speaker 3>I'm going over there a couple of weeks and I said,

0:34:38.640 --> 0:34:40.319
<v Speaker 3>we're gonna we're gonna sit down and we're gonna talk

0:34:40.320 --> 0:34:42.480
<v Speaker 3>through all this. How did how did the Bengals become

0:34:42.480 --> 0:34:47.560
<v Speaker 3>the team? But our defense rests un Uh? Well, good

0:34:47.640 --> 0:34:49.680
<v Speaker 3>luck with that. More importantly, good luck with the baby.

0:34:49.920 --> 0:34:52.160
<v Speaker 3>And uh, it was great to talk to you. Thank you, buddy,

0:34:52.640 --> 0:34:54.399
<v Speaker 3>Thank you. I'll let him know they can get work

0:34:54.400 --> 0:34:54.759
<v Speaker 3>over here.

0:34:54.800 --> 0:34:59.840
<v Speaker 2>Sorry, that's JJ Watt NFL Today on CBS Studio analyst

0:35:00.040 --> 0:35:05.320
<v Speaker 2>and former Texans, Cardinals defensive end and maybe Cincinnati Bengal

0:35:05.480 --> 0:35:08.520
<v Speaker 2>defensive end. Take a break. We'll come back after this.

0:35:09.239 --> 0:35:11.359
<v Speaker 1>Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan

0:35:11.480 --> 0:35:15.040
<v Speaker 1>Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific

0:35:15.320 --> 0:35:18.320
<v Speaker 1>on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

0:35:19.200 --> 0:35:24.560
<v Speaker 2>Well, JJ Watt, that's interesting that come out of retirement.

0:35:24.840 --> 0:35:26.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't think he's done a lot of homework on

0:35:26.680 --> 0:35:31.040
<v Speaker 2>this because I don't know if he's contractually obligated to anybody,

0:35:32.239 --> 0:35:36.360
<v Speaker 2>the Cardinals, the Texans. You know. Then we talk about,

0:35:36.400 --> 0:35:38.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, filing your retirement papers, but I've talked to

0:35:38.640 --> 0:35:41.680
<v Speaker 2>players who have retired. They didn't fill out any paperwork.

0:35:42.480 --> 0:35:44.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that's a real thing where you got

0:35:44.680 --> 0:35:48.880
<v Speaker 2>to submit your retirement papers here. But maybe JJ coming

0:35:48.920 --> 0:35:53.279
<v Speaker 2>out of retirement would be it'd be interesting. I don't

0:35:53.320 --> 0:35:56.080
<v Speaker 2>know if his wife would be thrilled with that after

0:35:56.120 --> 0:35:58.320
<v Speaker 2>having the second baby there coming up this summer.

0:35:58.400 --> 0:35:59.960
<v Speaker 6>Yes, Paul, all right, I want to get into this

0:36:00.080 --> 0:36:02.080
<v Speaker 6>for a second because you asked him a follow up, like,

0:36:02.120 --> 0:36:04.200
<v Speaker 6>I know, it's a funny thing. If he loses the

0:36:04.200 --> 0:36:06.760
<v Speaker 6>bet to the Burnley goalkeeper, he'll play for the Bengals haha.

0:36:06.800 --> 0:36:11.040
<v Speaker 6>Social media fun bet mock headlines. He seemed to be

0:36:11.440 --> 0:36:15.440
<v Speaker 6>lightly serious about it as paying off the bet. Towards

0:36:15.440 --> 0:36:17.880
<v Speaker 6>the end of the conversation, how serious was he that

0:36:17.960 --> 0:36:21.040
<v Speaker 6>he would honor this bet.

0:36:21.719 --> 0:36:23.520
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, that's a big life decision to get

0:36:23.520 --> 0:36:24.320
<v Speaker 4>back to the NFL.

0:36:25.080 --> 0:36:28.000
<v Speaker 2>I think it might be a one day you show

0:36:28.080 --> 0:36:30.400
<v Speaker 2>up and then you know, you retire.

0:36:31.200 --> 0:36:31.399
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

0:36:31.480 --> 0:36:35.319
<v Speaker 5>See, yeah, Like I think he would go through it

0:36:35.400 --> 0:36:39.480
<v Speaker 5>because it's good like content and fun publicity kind of thing.

0:36:39.520 --> 0:36:41.399
<v Speaker 4>But I don't know. I mean, would he make the team.

0:36:41.400 --> 0:36:42.600
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if he would.

0:36:42.880 --> 0:36:46.239
<v Speaker 2>He's thirty five, a lot of injuries. Yeah, I don't

0:36:46.280 --> 0:36:48.719
<v Speaker 2>think his wife would be like yeah, I mean it's

0:36:48.719 --> 0:36:54.719
<v Speaker 2>great publicity for his soccer club, great publicity. But that

0:36:54.840 --> 0:36:56.680
<v Speaker 2>might be one of those he shows up and does

0:36:56.760 --> 0:37:02.040
<v Speaker 2>kind of his ceremonial workout with the Bengals. But hey,

0:37:02.120 --> 0:37:05.399
<v Speaker 2>it's all about content. Dave in South Dakota, Good morning, Dave.

0:37:05.440 --> 0:37:06.560
<v Speaker 2>What's on your mind?

0:37:08.400 --> 0:37:08.560
<v Speaker 7>Hi?

0:37:08.640 --> 0:37:11.520
<v Speaker 13>Dan Danettes you have a great show, by the way,

0:37:11.680 --> 0:37:16.720
<v Speaker 13>five ten, two ten, And I wanted to talk about

0:37:16.760 --> 0:37:21.040
<v Speaker 13>Toush push as an Eagles fan and now understand his bitterness.

0:37:21.080 --> 0:37:24.080
<v Speaker 13>It was fifty eight years between championships, so it hurts

0:37:24.120 --> 0:37:28.799
<v Speaker 13>a little. But before the Super Bowl, Kansas City fans,

0:37:28.920 --> 0:37:31.279
<v Speaker 13>you know, everybody's talking about the refs and Kansas City

0:37:31.320 --> 0:37:34.759
<v Speaker 13>getting the calls, and I said, look, beat them by ten.

0:37:34.840 --> 0:37:36.880
<v Speaker 13>If you beat them by ten, you don't got to

0:37:36.880 --> 0:37:39.200
<v Speaker 13>worry about the refs. And I feel the same way

0:37:39.200 --> 0:37:42.120
<v Speaker 13>about the Tush push. If the Eagles get stopped at

0:37:42.160 --> 0:37:44.359
<v Speaker 13>third and three or fourth and three, you don't got

0:37:44.360 --> 0:37:47.040
<v Speaker 13>to worry about the Toush push. The Eagles are masterful

0:37:47.160 --> 0:37:50.399
<v Speaker 13>at getting the first nine yards and then they get

0:37:50.440 --> 0:37:53.160
<v Speaker 13>the last yard. That's how they win championships.

0:37:53.480 --> 0:37:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Thanks guys, Thank you, Dave appreciate the compliment there. I

0:37:57.520 --> 0:38:00.600
<v Speaker 2>don't see them getting rid of it. Maybe tweak it.

0:38:02.160 --> 0:38:05.319
<v Speaker 2>Buffalo Bills use it as well. They're not as successful.

0:38:05.400 --> 0:38:08.520
<v Speaker 2>In fact, the most important push push in their history,

0:38:08.880 --> 0:38:11.760
<v Speaker 2>they failed to get the one yard that they needed.

0:38:12.360 --> 0:38:14.479
<v Speaker 2>Sean and Florida. I Sean, what's on your mind?

0:38:16.520 --> 0:38:20.160
<v Speaker 9>Good morning? Dan danet six five one eight five. I mean,

0:38:22.680 --> 0:38:26.160
<v Speaker 9>uh lost check of how old tall I was. Apparently,

0:38:27.200 --> 0:38:31.040
<v Speaker 9>I just wanted to say, hid in about the toush push.

0:38:31.080 --> 0:38:33.799
<v Speaker 9>I totally agree with you that that lineman behind him

0:38:33.920 --> 0:38:37.640
<v Speaker 9>is kind of ridiculous. And uh, it seems that's probably

0:38:37.640 --> 0:38:41.360
<v Speaker 9>that's my my five yearls who wanted to stay Hiyuh.

0:38:42.280 --> 0:38:44.440
<v Speaker 9>She loves you guys just as much you're watching you

0:38:44.560 --> 0:38:46.720
<v Speaker 9>or listening to you in the background since she was born.

0:38:46.800 --> 0:38:48.560
<v Speaker 7>So uh.

0:38:48.600 --> 0:38:51.359
<v Speaker 9>But yeah, it's like a rugby play and we won

0:38:51.440 --> 0:38:54.840
<v Speaker 9>dash rugby. There's a reason that's not super popular sport,

0:38:54.840 --> 0:38:57.160
<v Speaker 9>I would imagine, but it just doesn't feel like a

0:38:57.360 --> 0:39:00.960
<v Speaker 9>football play when you got the whole scrum and everything

0:39:01.040 --> 0:39:01.719
<v Speaker 9>going in like that.

0:39:02.160 --> 0:39:04.760
<v Speaker 2>And I agree with you. I agree with you, Sean,

0:39:04.800 --> 0:39:08.719
<v Speaker 2>thanks for the phone call, But I just don't think

0:39:08.760 --> 0:39:11.799
<v Speaker 2>you can penalize one team for doing something so well.

0:39:13.040 --> 0:39:16.440
<v Speaker 2>They're not breaking the rules, they're not getting away with

0:39:16.520 --> 0:39:19.040
<v Speaker 2>anything illegal. You've allowed them to do this now unless

0:39:19.080 --> 0:39:22.279
<v Speaker 2>you modify the rule, then they should be able to

0:39:22.320 --> 0:39:25.600
<v Speaker 2>continue to do what they're doing. If you have injury

0:39:25.920 --> 0:39:28.280
<v Speaker 2>data that can trump everything.

0:39:28.480 --> 0:39:33.879
<v Speaker 5>Yes, when JJ Watt said, you asked him how would

0:39:33.920 --> 0:39:38.040
<v Speaker 5>you defend it, and he said, you can't. There's not

0:39:38.080 --> 0:39:39.840
<v Speaker 5>anything you could do one hundred times. You might stop

0:39:39.880 --> 0:39:42.120
<v Speaker 5>them a couple of times, maybe if you get lucky.

0:39:42.760 --> 0:39:45.160
<v Speaker 5>That was the first time that I thought to myself, mmm,

0:39:45.719 --> 0:39:50.040
<v Speaker 5>maybe you should get rid of it. That was maybe

0:39:50.040 --> 0:39:53.360
<v Speaker 5>the first time that I was like, hmm, maybe.

0:39:53.480 --> 0:39:54.880
<v Speaker 4>Maybe we shouldn't do that anymore.

0:39:54.920 --> 0:39:55.080
<v Speaker 8>Then.

0:39:55.360 --> 0:39:58.880
<v Speaker 2>How successful was Tom Brady with the quarterback sneak in

0:39:58.880 --> 0:40:06.640
<v Speaker 2>his career? Nobody said it's not fair. Tom is unbelievable

0:40:06.719 --> 0:40:09.120
<v Speaker 2>with the quarterback sneak, and he was. He scored a

0:40:09.120 --> 0:40:11.640
<v Speaker 2>lot of touchdowns. I'd love to know the success rate

0:40:11.920 --> 0:40:14.960
<v Speaker 2>of Brady with the quarterback snake. And it was the

0:40:15.000 --> 0:40:17.400
<v Speaker 2>Patriots and they were winning. I don't know if anybody

0:40:17.440 --> 0:40:21.000
<v Speaker 2>said whatever they were doing that they wanted to outlaw that.

0:40:21.200 --> 0:40:23.919
<v Speaker 13>Yes, Mark, I think the difference was Kevin fulk wasn't

0:40:23.960 --> 0:40:26.080
<v Speaker 13>behind him pushing him into, you know, to a first

0:40:26.080 --> 0:40:26.919
<v Speaker 13>down win the en zige.

0:40:26.960 --> 0:40:29.040
<v Speaker 6>Yeah yeah, yeah, Paul, all right, I don't know if

0:40:29.080 --> 0:40:30.600
<v Speaker 6>this is a rule or not. And I'm only being

0:40:30.640 --> 0:40:34.120
<v Speaker 6>partially facetious. Could an NBA player lift up another NBA

0:40:34.160 --> 0:40:36.160
<v Speaker 6>player to junk the basketball. Let's say the player is

0:40:36.200 --> 0:40:38.279
<v Speaker 6>going and you assisted him as he jumped. I know

0:40:38.280 --> 0:40:41.560
<v Speaker 6>it wouldn't happen, but would that be akin to what's

0:40:41.600 --> 0:40:44.440
<v Speaker 6>going on with the tush push.

0:40:43.800 --> 0:40:46.920
<v Speaker 7>Hard even picture happening. I don't think so, right.

0:40:46.840 --> 0:40:48.840
<v Speaker 2>Like, can I lift you up to block a shot?

0:40:49.640 --> 0:40:51.560
<v Speaker 2>Would that be legal? I don't think so.

0:40:51.800 --> 0:40:52.399
<v Speaker 7>We're gonna check.

0:40:52.600 --> 0:40:55.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, get some of our best people on that. More

0:40:55.520 --> 0:40:59.319
