Speaker 1: All to that forthcoming eight seven seven, three d p show.
Speaker 1: He liked to dial. It's up. Operator Tyler's standing by,
Speaker 1: say good morning to those amongst our radio affiliates number
Speaker 1: nearly four hundred and peaconk Oor streaming partner. Download the
Speaker 1: app and you can watch this program for free all
Speaker 1: three hours. We talk about elite quarterbacks in the NFL.
Speaker 1: Sometimes we forget to include Joe Burrow. Well, those days
Speaker 1: are done. Patrick Mahomes is wonderful, Josh Allen has been great,
Speaker 1: but Joe Burrow belongs in that conversation. And if you're
Speaker 1: looking at top three quarterbacks, maybe top two, it's Patrick
Speaker 1: Mahomes and Joe Burrow. They get to cross paths coming
Speaker 1: up next weekend. And when you go back to what
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow has done his last three healthy seasons. He
Speaker 1: had the knee surgery when he got to the Bengals,
Speaker 1: but his last year at LSU, that's one of the
Speaker 1: greatest seasons a college quarterback has ever turned in. Then
Speaker 1: he goes to the Bengals and what he's done the
Speaker 1: last two years. He went to the Super Bowl last
Speaker 1: year and was a sack away from maybe completing a
Speaker 1: pass to Jamar Chase and they would have won the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. And here he is again on the road,
Speaker 1: goes to Buffalo. Now he goes to Kansas City. They've
Speaker 1: beaten Patrick Mahomes and now you get your opportunity again.
Speaker 1: And you know this wasn't one of those well team
Speaker 1: effort Joe Burrow. It started with Joe Burrow set the
Speaker 1: tone as fourteen nothing quickly, and we thought maybe it's
Speaker 1: going to be a shootout. But give credit to a
Speaker 1: balance Cincinnati team. You have Jamar Chase and Te Higgins,
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon, good running. I was worried about the offensive line,
Speaker 1: said that going in that you're missing three starters on
Speaker 1: the offensive line, and I thought that could be the
Speaker 1: difference here. He was sacked one time, but a lot
Speaker 1: of it it is of what he does when he
Speaker 1: moves the pocket. He's very very quick at getting the
Speaker 1: ball out. He did what he needed to do. Can
Speaker 1: he do that against Kansas City Wall He's gonna have to.
Speaker 1: It won't be as easy because Buffalo. Buffalo is not
Speaker 1: the better team. Uh, Cincinnati proved that that wasn't a fluke.
Speaker 1: Cincinnati was by far better team there. But Joe Burrow,
Speaker 1: what you see, I mean, you love his confidence. I
Speaker 1: go back to the interview I did at the Miami
Speaker 1: Super Bowl when he joined us on set, and I said,
Speaker 1: you know, where's the confidence come from? And he goes
Speaker 1: being prepared I mean, that's the smart answer. If you
Speaker 1: are prepared, you should be confident, you know, cocky. Here's
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow after the winning Buffalo so I felt it
Speaker 1: feels like football and disturb I guess in January now
Speaker 1: almost February, that was fine drive second he win. You guys,
Speaker 1: you were so on so well. Snow. Snow doesn't effect
Speaker 1: ball too much. Gets a little wet every now and then,
Speaker 1: but it's not like or wind or anything like that.
Speaker 1: So we're confident just about any whether there is. You
Speaker 1: just get the feeling that this is just another homework assignment,
Speaker 1: no big deal. You go to Buffalo play in the snow.
Speaker 1: You feel like you should have been hosting that game.
Speaker 1: Demarrow Hamlin is in the building. You feel like all
Speaker 1: the emotion, the sentiment is on their side. The story
Speaker 1: is not the Bengals, it's the Buffalo Bills. From the beginning,
Speaker 1: they were the team going to win the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: Bengals start out oh and two. Offensive line doesn't look good,
Speaker 1: even though they concentrated on making the offensive line better.
Speaker 1: Nobody had the Bengals going back to the Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: and here they are on the doorstep of going back
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl. You've got Patrick Mahomes with the
Speaker 1: high ankle spring, and that is a big deal because
Speaker 1: he did come back in. But you know, as you
Speaker 1: move forward the next couple of days, That's what I'm
Speaker 1: curious about, because this is something that stays with you.
Speaker 1: It can act actually get worse when you play in
Speaker 1: the moment before the swelling adrenaline takes over, get it
Speaker 1: shot up, all of those things. You can play in
Speaker 1: the moment, but anybody who's had a high ankle spring
Speaker 1: will tell you it's sometimes after the fact where it
Speaker 1: gets worse. And I don't know what kind of condition
Speaker 1: he'll be in by next Sunday, but the Bengals will
Speaker 1: definitely be testing Patrick Mahomes. But if you said Mahomes
Speaker 1: has to be a pocket passer, he's still a great
Speaker 1: pocket passers. He has an ability to extend a play,
Speaker 1: use his legs like Burrow does. You know, they're not
Speaker 1: known as runners, but they can and they can extend
Speaker 1: to play, and that makes Mahomes so much more valuable.
Speaker 1: And then you have the Cowboys who had a chance.
Speaker 1: They had a chance and it was a slugfest. They
Speaker 1: had a chance to go up. They lose Pollard which
Speaker 1: was a huge loss. Dak Prescott did not look good
Speaker 1: through two picks. Should have thrown a pick six at
Speaker 1: the end of the game there as well. And here's
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones back where he started. You would know how
Speaker 1: proud I am of these guys in here. That's a
Speaker 1: good team and we frankly turnovers, do settles of scores
Speaker 1: with games like that, And I'm so disappointed for our fans.
Speaker 1: And we've got a locker room full of sick players
Speaker 1: and coaches to go along with literally one hundred thousand
Speaker 1: of Cowboy fans I don't know that are sick. Wow.
Speaker 1: You can hear it in his voice that he is
Speaker 1: so desperate for this. And he's eighty years of age.
Speaker 1: It's been thirty years since they've done something. And he
Speaker 1: thought he had his team, he had his defense. You
Speaker 1: paid Dak all that money, got one great running back,
Speaker 1: you got another good running back, Cede Lamb. You're facing
Speaker 1: a third string quarterback there, but on the road, and
Speaker 1: the Niners did what they needed to do. It wasn't pretty,
Speaker 1: but that defense did a great job on Dak Prescott.
Speaker 1: And as you move forward with the Cowboys, Jerry Jones says,
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy's safe, okay, and he's been loyal to his coaches,
Speaker 1: sometimes to a fault. But watching that with you know,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, they had their opportunities there because the Niners
Speaker 1: didn't play great. Rock Purtty didn't play great, but Dallas
Speaker 1: couldn't come up with a big play when they needed to.
Speaker 1: All Right, we'll get to phone calls best and worst
Speaker 1: of the weekend. Got a pull question there, Seaton, you're
Speaker 1: gonna unveil. Yeah, Yeah, this is something we like to
Speaker 1: do on Mondays, but we're gonna do it. Dude, pull question, dud, Dude.
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott's game versus the forty nine ers, you were
Speaker 1: just talking about him, Dude. We'll hopp him. Yeah, we'll
Speaker 1: hop him. The Niners, by the way, two and a
Speaker 1: half point underdogs against the Eagles, the Bengals, they're getting one,
Speaker 1: getting one point against the Chiefs pretty good. Started his
Speaker 1: three betted down to one. Who else is on the poll? Giants?
Speaker 1: They know showed that's unfortunate. Yeah, I kind of feel
Speaker 1: like I got duped. Yeah you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Like I kind of like, damn it, I fell for it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I really thought Danny Dimes was gonna show up, and yeah,
Speaker 1: why did I believe that counterfeit? Dang? Yeah. Now I'm
Speaker 1: I'm watching and I'm going, okay, this, this is gonna
Speaker 1: be interesting. And I thought, okay, I mean they played
Speaker 1: him twice, they know who they are there, there's momentum here,
Speaker 1: they can run the ball. Danny Dimes gonna go out
Speaker 1: in space. The line will put some pressure there, and
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden it was like that's over.
Speaker 1: That didn't take long. Who else is on their seaton? Uh? Well,
Speaker 1: let's see the Bills didn't show up at home. Really,
Speaker 1: that was unfortunate end to that story. You're Super Bowl favorites.
Speaker 1: They gifted you a home game. Here is josh Alan
Speaker 1: and after the loss, he played a win. Our goals
Speaker 1: to a Super Bowl World championship, and we didn't accomplish that.
Speaker 1: So everything that happened the season is kind of non
Speaker 1: void in our minds, and it sucks. He was choppy
Speaker 1: last week against the Dolphins, but we'd sort of brushed
Speaker 1: that aside because they got the win. He did not
Speaker 1: look good at all yesterday in comparison with the Joe Burrow.
Speaker 1: What else I'm not trying to pick on the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: but it's possible we have to add another option there
Speaker 1: because that formation at the end of the game was hilarious. Okay,
Speaker 1: I didn't know what happened. I see Zeke Elliott and
Speaker 1: I go, wait, he's going to be the center, he's
Speaker 1: the long snapper. And then the Niners whoever took a
Speaker 1: run at him and just blew him up. And I went, well,
Speaker 1: you know that when they practiced that whoever was on
Speaker 1: the other side on the Dallas defense didn't blow up
Speaker 1: his teammate. All of a sudden, Zeke snaps the ball
Speaker 1: and boom tru he exploded right in front of us.
Speaker 1: And then they completed the past Jimmy Ward, you know,
Speaker 1: blew him up. And then that was the ball game.
Speaker 1: So the last two years, your season comes down to
Speaker 1: a final play. They don't get the playoff last year,
Speaker 1: and then they get this playoff. I would have preferred
Speaker 1: they didn't get that playoff, as bad as it was.
Speaker 1: What the heck was that, And especially because they came
Speaker 1: out in that formation and the forty nine ers call
Speaker 1: a time out and they're like, hold up, let's just
Speaker 1: look at this real quick. Yeah, And then they came
Speaker 1: back out and the gosh was that. You're like, whoa,
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen? This is like exotic? What are they
Speaker 1: gonna do? Oh it turns out nothing. It's hilarious. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, what a way to end the game. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that was funny. And then I think Mike McCarthy said,
Speaker 1: we didn't run the play we were supposed to. I
Speaker 1: don't know what the play was, but it had to
Speaker 1: be a variation of what they ran. If Zeke is
Speaker 1: gonna be your long snap, so they were gonna Zeke
Speaker 1: was gonna snap it, then they were gonna throw it
Speaker 1: to Zeke, and then Zeke was gonna do laterals or something. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Paul so Greg Olsen explained it real well. Zeke was
Speaker 1: an eligible to run down field. He couldn't catch the pass,
Speaker 1: but he would be eligible catch though hitches. Oh so
Speaker 1: he would have been another threatening player on the field
Speaker 1: instead of a center. M didn't work out that, we
Speaker 1: know it did not anybody else on that list, seedon
Speaker 1: on the negative ones. No, I mean, we could add
Speaker 1: anybody that you'd like, but that's what we've got so far. Dude, Yeah, dude, dude. Um,
Speaker 1: if we were doing a positive dude pole question though
Speaker 1: Nick Bosa man, that dude is no joke. I would
Speaker 1: love to know how many false start penalties he's caused
Speaker 1: this season, because it seems like ever the start of
Speaker 1: every single game, whoever that like left tackle is or
Speaker 1: whoever's lined up against him, jumps early every single time.
Speaker 1: And you try to simulate something like that, it's always
Speaker 1: when you're when you're getting ready to face an opponent.
Speaker 1: You'd be like, all right, you're gonna be that guy
Speaker 1: and then we're gonna, you know, simulate how quick. Well,
Speaker 1: the only guy who can have that speed it is
Speaker 1: probably Michael Parsons. So Micah Parsons would have to be
Speaker 1: Joey Bosa in practice, and I mean or Nick Bosa.
Speaker 1: Get those guys mixed up. Yes, Michael Parsons got a rush,
Speaker 1: and I think it's Mike McGlinchey, the tackle for THEE.
Speaker 1: Now McGlinchey got the win and then nice day, but
Speaker 1: he kind of got under his armpit and lifted him sideways.
Speaker 1: And there's this picture it looks like he's picking him
Speaker 1: up and like delivering a package. You know, it just
Speaker 1: doesn't look good. Last time I saw that was Reggie
Speaker 1: White I think that was in the Super Bowl against
Speaker 1: the Patriots. He lifted somebody up or truck them. But
Speaker 1: the Cowboys disappointment, Bill's disappointment. If I'm a Jags fan,
Speaker 1: I feel pretty good today. You know, you went toe
Speaker 1: to toe. You know you've got a lot of momentum
Speaker 1: going into next season, and this is what it comes
Speaker 1: down to. You gotta have the coach and you gotta
Speaker 1: have the quarterback. Well, they had the quarterback, they didn't
Speaker 1: have the coach. And Doug Peterson did a wonderful job
Speaker 1: with that team this year, you know, cleaning up the
Speaker 1: mess what was left behind with urban Meyer and then
Speaker 1: getting Trevor Lawrence to play like a number one overall
Speaker 1: pick should play. And I thought that that was that
Speaker 1: was a one of those moments that it could have
Speaker 1: gotten out of hand. Like you didn't. I didn't want
Speaker 1: the Jags to get blown out because they had been
Speaker 1: a really good story and then all of a sudden
Speaker 1: you realize that they're not going away. Mahomes gets hurt.
Speaker 1: Who knew Chad Henny was still in the NFL? He
Speaker 1: came in ninety eight yard drive And it always helps
Speaker 1: when you go okay, if I get in trouble. Who
Speaker 1: can I throw Travis Kelsey? Travis Kelsey, I think the
Speaker 1: Jags had one of the worst defenses against tight ends
Speaker 1: this year, and boy, they proved that stat was correct.
Speaker 1: He had fourteen catches and you know he's getting it. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Like there're certain guys where they're open and you go, okay,
Speaker 1: it feels like we're still surprised. Travis Kelsey is so open.
Speaker 1: It's like, man, who's covering it? Well, nobody is, but
Speaker 1: he looked great, you know, and that's such a weapon
Speaker 1: to have. All Right, we'll get to your phone calls
Speaker 1: and we'll check in with the Bengals coming on. Also
Speaker 1: a little bit later. Ross Tucker worked double duty. I
Speaker 1: think he worked the Buffalo Bills game and he worked
Speaker 1: the Eagles game. So we'll talk to Ross Tucker, A
Speaker 1: good buddy coming up. Eight seven seven, three d P
Speaker 1: Show email address DPA dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle
Speaker 1: at DPS Show. We'll take a break. We'll check in
Speaker 1: with the Bengals right after this Dan Patrick Show. Thanks

Speaker 1: poll question, We'll get to your phone calls coming up.
Speaker 1: We'll check in with the Bengals coming up as well.
Speaker 1: If I'm a Bills fan, man, am I distraught? You
Speaker 1: had everything? You had it all, You're gifted a home
Speaker 1: game here against the Bengals. Mahomes with a high ankle
Speaker 1: spring get by the Bengals. You're in the snow, You're
Speaker 1: at home tomorrow. Hamlin is there. It's emotional, you're ready
Speaker 1: to go, and then all of a sudden you're not,
Speaker 1: you know, showed and you're gonna be playing Mahomes on
Speaker 1: a neutral site. Right, And give credit to the Bengals,
Speaker 1: you know when you strike early like that and then
Speaker 1: you strike again. So it was fourteen nothing. Now I've
Speaker 1: changed the Bills. Now the Bills feel a little bit
Speaker 1: more desperate there, like we got a score. They did.
Speaker 1: Josh Allen had some words with the Bengals when he
Speaker 1: scored on his one yard run there, but it just
Speaker 1: felt like the Bengals had, they were always going to
Speaker 1: be a step ahead or two and give credit to
Speaker 1: Joe with what he was able to do in those conditions.
Speaker 1: Dave Lapham has been working for the Bengals Radio network
Speaker 1: for over thirty years. Former offensive tackle with the Bengals.
Speaker 1: Good to have him back on the show. Take me
Speaker 1: back to training camp, Dave? What was what was the
Speaker 1: Bengals I guess personality like after losing the Super Bowl?
Speaker 1: You know, Dan, it was interesting at training camp because
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow had had the appendectomy, so you know, Joe
Speaker 1: was healing. I mean, Joe couldn't go, he wasn't practicing. Um,
Speaker 1: the offensive lineman Collins had a back problem, Kappa had
Speaker 1: to he had a hip flex or issue. They had
Speaker 1: to have surgery on. They were beating up and so
Speaker 1: it's like, man, got all these new offensive lineman. They
Speaker 1: can't they can't work, they can't practice together, Quarterbacks driving
Speaker 1: around on a golf cart. I mean, our leader is
Speaker 1: disabled right now. It was kind of like what's going on?
Speaker 1: You know? But they still thought they had the core
Speaker 1: of a damn good football team. And then Joe Burrow
Speaker 1: healed up. You know, they start off one two, they
Speaker 1: go minus five. Joe play he's in the opener and
Speaker 1: he was not in himself. They go five turnover five times,
Speaker 1: they go minus five and still could have won the game.
Speaker 1: Miss an extra point, miss a field goal on overtime,
Speaker 1: miss an extra point at the conclusion of the game
Speaker 1: that would have won it. I mean, so it's like this,
Speaker 1: this is still a good football team. Since then thirteen
Speaker 1: out of fifteen, ten in a row. I mean, they
Speaker 1: just got healthy. Everybody, uh, you know, realized, hey, if
Speaker 1: we do our part of what one eleventh of what
Speaker 1: we're supposed to do when we're out there on the
Speaker 1: football field, we're pretty good. And and they I thought
Speaker 1: they played, from a timely standpoint, their most complete game
Speaker 1: of the year. I thought that they played a clean game.
Speaker 1: They had no turnovers, they only had two penalties, two
Speaker 1: false starts for nine yards, two penalties for nine yards.
Speaker 1: So they played a game, They played a complete game,
Speaker 1: and they played a complimentary football game. The Three seas.
Speaker 1: You can't beat the Three Seas. Man, what was the
Speaker 1: atmosphere like in Buffalo? They were very confident, The fan
Speaker 1: base was extremely confident. The Bills were very confident, and uh, meteorologically,
Speaker 1: the atmosphere was funky. I mean it was. It was.
Speaker 1: It was chilly, it was it was pretty cold. The
Speaker 1: wind show in the twenties. Um, it was snowing big
Speaker 1: flakes at times, pretty good sized ones. But the good
Speaker 1: thing is Dan, no wind. The wind was negligible. And
Speaker 1: I was surprised because I thought, Man, you got funky
Speaker 1: weather like that normally off the lake, here comes the wind,
Speaker 1: you know. And and it was very very still. The
Speaker 1: flags were still, the little banners on top of the
Speaker 1: goal posts were you know, just flaccid, just sitting there
Speaker 1: and they weren't moving. So I thought, well, they can
Speaker 1: still throw the ball, can still kick it pretty well.
Speaker 1: So they just went out and just the held with
Speaker 1: the elements. We're just gonna The thing that they did, Dan,
Speaker 1: that they wanted to do. This football team now is
Speaker 1: ten and all. When they score first, they liked to
Speaker 1: land the first punch, and they landed the first punch,
Speaker 1: and they staggered the Buffalo Bills. They staggered Josh Allen
Speaker 1: and the Bills, and then they they chased them into
Speaker 1: the corner and just kept throwing body shots. You know,
Speaker 1: they just they never let up on it. So it
Speaker 1: was like a heavyweight fight. You hit the big overhand
Speaker 1: right or the hook or whatever you hit, stagger them
Speaker 1: and then just uh, you know a t ko, you know,
Speaker 1: just just get after them and finish them. And that's uh,
Speaker 1: that's pretty much what they did all day long. I
Speaker 1: mean they had an offensive line, Dan, they had three
Speaker 1: new starters. I mean, three weeks in a row they
Speaker 1: lose the starting offensive linemen and that group goes out
Speaker 1: and runs the ball for over one hundred and seventy
Speaker 1: yards on a defense, it was like number two in
Speaker 1: the NFL and rushing yards allowed one hundred and seventy
Speaker 1: yards and u And as a result, Joe Burrow only
Speaker 1: gets sacked one time. He gets hit two others. Joe
Speaker 1: Burrow Now, in the last two seasons, when he sacked
Speaker 1: three times or less, he's twenty three wins, three losses.
Speaker 1: Protect Protect Joe Burrow. He's pretty good. Have you figured
Speaker 1: him out personality wise? He's that's a good question, Dan.
Speaker 1: He he is, Uh, I think he. I think he
Speaker 1: works to make it difficult to figure him out. Uh.
Speaker 1: He's he is a very very intelligent guy as a
Speaker 1: very very broad base of interests. He's He's not a
Speaker 1: he's not a one trick pony guy, you know. I
Speaker 1: mean he's he's got a lot going on. He is.
Speaker 1: He is one sharp dude, and I'll tell you he
Speaker 1: is a football savanna. I can tell you that this
Speaker 1: this guy is the Albert Einstein of football. Man. He's
Speaker 1: got he's got the answers to the test and he
Speaker 1: ain't cheating. He knows it, man, and it's He's got
Speaker 1: a confidence as a result of it. He's got an
Speaker 1: earned confidence that is just, you know, borders on you know, cocky.
Speaker 1: He's got the swagger and what his teammates respond to him,
Speaker 1: I mean it is unbelievable. He is definitely the duck
Speaker 1: leading the ducklings. I mean it's like everybody else's a
Speaker 1: little line behind the big duck man and he's taking
Speaker 1: the ducklings down to the pond. Fair to make the
Speaker 1: comparison to Joe Montana, I think it is fair. I
Speaker 1: think that's a good comparison. I really do. I think that.
Speaker 1: I think they're very similar. I think Joe might have
Speaker 1: a little bit stronger arm than Joe Montana, but I
Speaker 1: think he hit a great one because Joe Montana had
Speaker 1: that kind of football mind. He had that kind of
Speaker 1: charisma where his teammates, you know, following him, followed his lead.
Speaker 1: And the big thing. And Paul Brown used to say this,
Speaker 1: and it's so simple, but it's so true. I remember,
Speaker 1: you know, I was talking to him about quarterback planning.
Speaker 1: He goes, David, the simple thing about quarterbacks is the
Speaker 1: most important thing, is the simplest thing. I got to
Speaker 1: throw it straight, you know. I gotta be accurate with
Speaker 1: the football. And man, Joe Burrow can put it in
Speaker 1: the eye of a needle from fifty yards away. And
Speaker 1: that's what Joe Montana could do. Kenny Anderson, all the
Speaker 1: great quarterbacks that you know had that accuracy, pinpoint accuracy.
Speaker 1: Always great to talk to. You save that voice for
Speaker 1: next weekend. You're gonna need it. I know it's gonna be.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be fun. Man. The dan have beaten the
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs three times in a calendar year. It
Speaker 1: could be a fourth in less than thirteen months. That
Speaker 1: they can do it again. How the Bengals in the
Speaker 1: Chiefs heads or the Chiefs is gonna be like, that's
Speaker 1: enough three in a row, and we got we gotta
Speaker 1: stop this one. It's gonna be it's gonna be interesting
Speaker 1: out there. Good to talk to you is always Dave.
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us, Thanks for the invitation. You're the best.
Speaker 1: It's Dave Lapham. He's been doing the color commentating for
Speaker 1: the Bengals radio network for over thirty years. He's right there.
Speaker 1: He's a fan with a microphone. And uh, they visit
Speaker 1: the Chiefs the AFC title game next Sunday, that'll be
Speaker 1: at Eastern. We'll get phone calls coming up. Whole question
Speaker 1: we're going with is what Seaton encounter. We got the
Speaker 1: dude question up there, Dan right now, Bill's losing, Bill's
Speaker 1: getting smoked. Has forty nine percent of the vote, followed
Speaker 1: by that Cowboys formation. Oh boy, not too many people
Speaker 1: worried about the Giants though, Well, there's certain fan bases.
Speaker 1: If I'm a Giants fan, I feel good today. I
Speaker 1: don't feel bad. I should say that because I think
Speaker 1: we're back to is Danny Dimes a franchise quarterback that
Speaker 1: cooled off in a span of seven days, Like we're
Speaker 1: reeling in Amo Sequon Barkley, We're gonna franchise, Like what
Speaker 1: are you doing moving forward? But I think you feel
Speaker 1: good about your head coach. I don't know how confident
Speaker 1: you are in your quarterback, but you made progress. You
Speaker 1: realize there's a big separation between you and the Eagles,
Speaker 1: maybe you and the Cowboys. If I'm a Cowboys fan,
Speaker 1: I'm roughed up today. Granted, the most overcovered franchise in
Speaker 1: the history of sports, and they have done nothing in
Speaker 1: thirty years. Today, it's fair to cover him because the
Speaker 1: fallout with Dak, with Mike McCarthy, with Jerry Jones. What
Speaker 1: do you do next? Are you sold on Dak being
Speaker 1: your franchise quarterback? What is it about Dak? You know
Speaker 1: these interceptions he threw the first one, I went, oh boy,
Speaker 1: that won't be the only one. And he should have
Speaker 1: thrown a pick six at the end of the game.
Speaker 1: Green Law had it right. Yeah, it hit him right
Speaker 1: in the hand. Yeah, you just didn't see it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so through too. It was just they were non threatening.
Speaker 1: The defense played great, but I'd feel if I'm a
Speaker 1: Bills fan, I feel terrible. And it doesn't you know,
Speaker 1: it's like the window of opportunity. Josh Allen is going
Speaker 1: to be twenty seven, Stefan Diggs is thirty. Maybe it's
Speaker 1: one more year. But I've always felt the last two
Speaker 1: years everybody was all in. It's like the Buffalo Bills,
Speaker 1: and it felt like it was so much pressure on
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, just Josh Allen, and I thought that it
Speaker 1: was it was too much pressure for him, and it
Speaker 1: was because you're trying to do everything and you can't
Speaker 1: do everything. He tried didn't work. All right, we'll get
Speaker 1: phone calls coming up. Last time we talked to Yes,
Speaker 1: I was gonna say that I tried to find something
Speaker 1: negative for each team that lost, just to keep it fair.
Speaker 1: It's not easy to come up with The Giants was
Speaker 1: tough to come up with a negative, even though they
Speaker 1: know showed. The Jaguars was kind of it feels like, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: well you guys just lost. You didn't choke or anything
Speaker 1: like that, where you know Dak is getting a ton
Speaker 1: of criticism today Josh Allen, it's like, man, he really
Speaker 1: didn't have a good game. But Trevor Lawrence, Okay, you
Speaker 1: guys did your best. Good but good job. See you
Speaker 1: next year. But it's the expectation level. Therefore, how far
Speaker 1: do you fall with the disappointment? And if I'm Jacksonville
Speaker 1: or the Giants. So I'm like, Okay, we got there.
Speaker 1: We had a respectable season. If I'm the Jags fan,
Speaker 1: I feel great today. Yeah, Paul, Jags started the season
Speaker 1: one twenty five to one to win the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: They were behind the Lions, they were behind the Panthers.
Speaker 1: The New York Giants were one hundred to one. They
Speaker 1: were in the bottom third. You know, those are teams
Speaker 1: that well overachieved. Last time we talked to Shay and Irving,
Speaker 1: he didn't know what day it was. He was in
Speaker 1: the Bahamas or somewhere, and he said that the last
Speaker 1: week he didn't drink and the Cowboys won, so he
Speaker 1: wasn't going to drink this week. I don't know if
Speaker 1: he started to drink during that game. But Shay and
Speaker 1: Irving joins us on the program. Hi, Shay, Hey, Danny,
Speaker 1: where are you. I'm gonna Connecticut them back right back. Okay,
Speaker 1: where are you? Mentally, I'm in a bad place, Danny.
Speaker 1: I can't believe us days sober for that travesty of
Speaker 1: a damn football game. You can't throw two picks in
Speaker 1: the playoffs on the road and expect to win. And
Speaker 1: it should have been three yea, it should have been three.
Speaker 1: Just at the end of the damn game they dropped
Speaker 1: an easy one. In those final two minutes were some
Speaker 1: of the worst quarterback. He looks awful, Danny, he looks bad.
Speaker 1: He got outplayed by a rookie quarterback in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: That's the end of the day. Defense showed up. First half,
Speaker 1: running game was all right, and then we abandoned in
Speaker 1: the second half of chords because the fatman does what
Speaker 1: the fat man does. And here we are. It's a travesty.
Speaker 1: Where do you go? What do you do next? You know,
Speaker 1: Jerry says, well, he's well, not you, I know that,
Speaker 1: but I'm talking about the Cowboys. The Cowboys, where do
Speaker 1: you go from here? It's even worse than you think,
Speaker 1: because you know, Dan Quinn's gonna get a head coaching
Speaker 1: job somewhere. So now it's going to be mccarthying Kellen
Speaker 1: without a defense that could sack the quarterback as much
Speaker 1: as they have this year. A jack's still going to
Speaker 1: be there. The quarterback lass next year ain't that good.
Speaker 1: So it's not like you're gonna draft somebody's going to
Speaker 1: compete for the starting position. Danny, this is a bad day.
Speaker 1: This is a really bad. What Jesus its only name
Speaker 1: was that formation for the last play of the game, idiot,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what that was. And I saw Zeke
Speaker 1: as the long snapper, and I thought, Okay, we're gonna
Speaker 1: try to do a lateral and I went the Niners.
Speaker 1: The Niners actually called it time out. They're like, I
Speaker 1: don't know what's going on here. Had they known what
Speaker 1: the Cowboys were gonna do, they probably would have just
Speaker 1: started laughing and go, yeah, go ahead, let's see what
Speaker 1: you got. And that's the opposite of a victory formation.
Speaker 1: Two years in a row, we looked like freaking morons
Speaker 1: for the last play of the game against the same
Speaker 1: damn team. No lessons learned, Danny, you're gonna start drinking.
Speaker 1: I started drinking after the game. I can tell you that.
Speaker 1: I can't believe it was sober for it. But after
Speaker 1: the game I got a dance. Well, I'm glad you
Speaker 1: got back. I'm not well. I look forward to seeing y'all.
Speaker 1: I'll talk to you later this week. Okay, all right, Danny, whatever, No,
Speaker 1: thank you. Shane. Feels like it's Groundhog's Day every year.
Speaker 1: You're just but the expectation level is so high because
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are covered world wall always more than any
Speaker 1: you could put all the franchises together, they're not covered
Speaker 1: as much as the Cowboys are. And the Cowboys have
Speaker 1: had holes, you know they have. They've had star power,
Speaker 1: no pun intended, but they've also had holes, you know,
Speaker 1: whether it's coaching, whether it's is dak A. You know,
Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback. Do they have enough weapons for him?
Speaker 1: They're using Zeke too much, they're not using pollit or not,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean all these things, and they have
Speaker 1: some defensive players. Offensive line not as good as it
Speaker 1: once was, but we overestimate what the Cowboys can do
Speaker 1: because they're great content. Therefore, if you're a Cowboys fan,
Speaker 1: you're listening to all this, everybody's give you flowers. Hey,
Speaker 1: look at the oh okay, all of these things, and
Speaker 1: then therefore you have so much disappointment, yeah pulling. The
Speaker 1: Cowboys this year had the fourth ranked offensive football and
Speaker 1: the fifth ranked defense. The only team alive in the
Speaker 1: playoffs that's near that is the Niners. They had the
Speaker 1: sixth ranked defense and points scored I'm sorry, number one
Speaker 1: defense and points scored given up and the six ranked offense.
Speaker 1: They're pretty good offense. So there, Cowboys were right in there,
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. Yeah, and you wonder, okay,
Speaker 1: what do you do next that? I mean, that's you
Speaker 1: got Dak he's your quarterback. What do you do after that?
Speaker 1: I love Pollard? Feel bad that he broke his leg
Speaker 1: out for probably three months, four months, and I think
Speaker 1: is he up for a contract? Yep? Yeah, he was
Speaker 1: on that rookie deal. Yeah, feel bad about that. That
Speaker 1: dude is he He can be my running back any day.
Speaker 1: He's great. You know, they still have to keep Zeke
Speaker 1: in there. You're spending that money. And okay, I think
Speaker 1: Schultz is a pretty good tight end. You had a
Speaker 1: couple of mistakes there at the very end of the game.
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb is a star. Do you have another complimentary
Speaker 1: wide receiver there? Defensively, seems like you got some playmakers there.
Speaker 1: But you're going to be compared to you know, the
Speaker 1: Giants are moving up and you're gonna and Washington is
Speaker 1: still a but you know, a formidable team and there
Speaker 1: they might be a quarterback away. And then you have Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: Philadelphia has done an unbelievable job the last couple of years.
Speaker 1: They're gonna be there, So you've got to measure yourself
Speaker 1: against the teams in your own division. That's why when
Speaker 1: I looked at the Rams or Arizona, Okay, you got
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers to deal with Seattle playoff team?
Speaker 1: Are you? Are you the best team in your own division?
Speaker 1: And I didn't think that they were? Yeah? Seton? Is
Speaker 1: that why the Bill's window feels like it's closing faster
Speaker 1: than it should the other teams in their division. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you look around, the Dolphins have gotten way better.
Speaker 1: They're for real. The Jets are pretty close. They're like
Speaker 1: quarterback away. Who knows how long the Bill, Belichick and
Speaker 1: the Patriots are really going to be down like this,
Speaker 1: You don't put a lot of faith in that's they
Speaker 1: kind of have to strike now, right, Well, it just
Speaker 1: felt like they were the feel good story. They were
Speaker 1: a team of destiny. Well, the Bill's got to play
Speaker 1: in the super Bowl, right It felt like America was
Speaker 1: rooting for them. Oh that's the team where the football player,
Speaker 1: you know, he nearly died. You don't have to be
Speaker 1: a football fan casual fan, because Good Morning America, the
Speaker 1: Today Show, they're covering this. Therefore, your wife your mother daughter.
Speaker 1: They might have heard about these stories. You're watching that
Speaker 1: game and you're like, oh, you gotta root for Buffalo,
Speaker 1: for the Bengals to do what they did and do
Speaker 1: it in the way they did it, and that is
Speaker 1: the most impressive win of the week end. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: looking at the MVP odds right now. Josh Allen's predicted
Speaker 1: to finish fourth. If someone has said in August that
Speaker 1: Josh Allen would finish fourth in the MVP rooting, he
Speaker 1: was the overwhelming favorite and they would not make the
Speaker 1: AFC title game, no one would have taken that bet.
Speaker 1: That's quite a disappointment. Here's what I was thinking with
Speaker 1: the Bills, maybe this is the year and I'm anti
Speaker 1: running back in the first round, but they have a
Speaker 1: late first round pick. Maybe this is the year they
Speaker 1: draft a good running back, a guy could stay in
Speaker 1: the field and actually be threatening. Not piecemeal running back,
Speaker 1: but someone who could actually be threatening. I remember reading
Speaker 1: a story not too long ago that maybe, say Quon
Speaker 1: Barkley was going to end up with Buffalo, that maybe
Speaker 1: before the trade deadline or something. I just remember that,
Speaker 1: you know Buffalo, Well, this might be a place if
Speaker 1: you're not going to pay, say Quon Barkley, maybe that's
Speaker 1: where he could end up. You know, maybe they dip
Speaker 1: their toes in the free agency pool and try to,
Speaker 1: you know, bring in somebody like that. But man, if
Speaker 1: I'm a Bills fan, I'm devastated today. Yeah. More if
Speaker 1: you're a Bills fan, would we have rather lost this
Speaker 1: week or super Bowl? I got to get to the
Speaker 1: super Bowl. I mean I'll take a super Bowl loss.
Speaker 1: I know we look at that as failure, you know,
Speaker 1: down through history. It's like you're the worst team when
Speaker 1: you get blown out in the super Bowl. But but
Speaker 1: you got there. You gotta get there. It just felt
Speaker 1: like you were on a ride that ended too early,
Speaker 1: Like wait, I thought this ride goes a little bit longer,
Speaker 1: And I think that's that's the big surprise there. You know,
Speaker 1: even if they got to the FC Title game and
Speaker 1: they lost that game, Okay, you're disappointed, But if you
Speaker 1: got to the super Bowl, you know, while it hurts
Speaker 1: because you lose another super Bowl, but you got there.
Speaker 1: If you said to the Bengals, you want to get
Speaker 1: super Bowl and lose in dramatic fashion, or you're going
Speaker 1: to bow out in the divisional round, Hey, let me
Speaker 1: get there on the big, big stage, and it's what
Speaker 1: you learn when you get there on the big stage.
Speaker 1: They on road games that's helped them this year, they
Speaker 1: don't seem like they're moved by anything that's going to
Speaker 1: help him next week going into Kansas City. See, Buffalo
Speaker 1: is still gonna have that. It's gonna linger. Can we
Speaker 1: win a big game? Can we win? Can we win
Speaker 1: if Josh is not playing great? And that there's still
Speaker 1: that down there because Cincinnati is going to be there.
Speaker 1: Look at the teams in the AFC. I mean there's
Speaker 1: a there's a lot of there's a lot of contenders there.
Speaker 1: Mahomes is what twenty seven? He ain't going away anytime soon,
Speaker 1: I know. I mean, Kelsey's older than you think. What's
Speaker 1: he like thirty three? But oh I have to do
Speaker 1: is just sort of float around and Mahomes will find
Speaker 1: you ten twelve times in a game. All right, we'll

Speaker 1: the program, best and more to the weekend. Good morning,
Speaker 1: mister Patrick, Copia and the boys had a great weekend.
Speaker 1: We didn't want to have any worse in Uegion considering
Speaker 1: what happened here Saturday night in the area. But oh man,
Speaker 1: then Buffalo Bills. Dude, that was literally just like I mean,
Speaker 1: it was almost like a no show pretty much. Core
Speaker 1: ten points really had that highak ten open for a
Speaker 1: whole year. Ten points. Yeah, no, that's terrible. Best of
Speaker 1: the weekend. Cowboys losing. It's always a great time for
Speaker 1: this country when the Cowboys losing the playoffs are just losing. Generally,
Speaker 1: and then I got a couple of little bonus best
Speaker 1: of the weekend. Last night, my Lakers down twenty five
Speaker 1: points and we pull out the wind somehow. I don't
Speaker 1: know how that happened, but hey, I'll win to win,
Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna, you know, ask why. And then
Speaker 1: the other best I'm working out at the gym yesterday.
Speaker 1: Who shows up right next to me, Mister I'm taking
Speaker 1: the whole Memphis Grizzlies team. Mister Shannon Sharp is right
Speaker 1: there next to me, and I just lean over to this.
Speaker 1: I just lean over to him. I look over to him,
Speaker 1: and I just get him a little fist pump and
Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, good good stuff, and he just goes, hey, man,
Speaker 1: diydn't want this. They they didn't not want this. Man.
Speaker 1: It's basically big boy Steven Adam did not want this.
Speaker 1: So the weekend, you boys have a great weird Yeah,
Speaker 1: how jack is Shannon Sharp? That man looks like you
Speaker 1: could still put up a thousand yards receiving right now.
Speaker 1: He is a monster of a human being. It's insane. Yeah,
Speaker 1: him and Terrell Owens could probably still play. Arrold tried
Speaker 1: to play. He tries to play every year, but thank you, Gus. Yeah,
Speaker 1: arrold try. I think he reached out to Buffalo or
Speaker 1: somebody to say, hey, you know, I'm here, I can
Speaker 1: help you. They probably still could. But the altercation the
Speaker 1: Memphis Grizzlies, who haven't accomplished anything, but that doesn't stop
Speaker 1: them from talking. And then Shannon Sharp had words with
Speaker 1: one of the players, Dylan Brooks. Steven Adams comes over.
Speaker 1: Shannon's like, you don't want any of this smoke, and
Speaker 1: he's standing there, you know, and they probably don't want
Speaker 1: any part of that. But yeah, Shannon was ready to
Speaker 1: take and then you had John Morand's dad coming over
Speaker 1: and it was a mess. But you know, Lebron loves that.
Speaker 1: He loves Shannon. He's say, hey's I got his back
Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty five days out of the year.
Speaker 1: But they rallied from twenty five at half time down
Speaker 1: twenty five to beat the Blazers in the biggest comeback
Speaker 1: in the NBA this season. Yeapo, I was watching Shannon
Speaker 1: Sharp and is powder Blue Cardigan just completely Jack Santon
Speaker 1: silence and all the people are holding back the different
Speaker 1: players from the Grizzlies. I was kind of hoping that
Speaker 1: one of them would just say, let's let it happen
Speaker 1: because Shannon Sharp. I wouldn't mess with him for a
Speaker 1: million bucks. And it would be funny to see a
Speaker 1: bassetall player go ahead, walk over to Shannon Sharp. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he can't put yourself in the position Shannon Sharp. Two.
Speaker 1: That's not good because when he played, how would he
Speaker 1: have reacted if somebody was yelling at him or said
Speaker 1: come on over here, and Shannon's doing that. You know
Speaker 1: he's ready to fight somebody. You can't do that. Can't
Speaker 1: do that. Yes, Marth, the Grizzlies better win the NBA
Speaker 1: title this year. That's not going to stop him from
Speaker 1: talking if if they don't win. I mean, they're always chirping.
Speaker 1: I got like, you have one guy who's given Lebron
Speaker 1: grief and then Lebron's like, you know, bleep, you who
Speaker 1: are you man? Might you make a couple of buckets
Speaker 1: then you can give me some grief there. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: do love to talk. They lead the league in talking.
Speaker 1: Our two coming up, our good buddy, Ross Tucker. He
Speaker 1: was at the Buffalo game, he was at the Philadelphia game.
Speaker 1: Yet his thoughts on both of those more phone calls
Speaker 1: best and worst of the weekend, as we always do,
Speaker 1: a few more stats of the day, brought to you
