Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Made it to a Thursday hour one with
Speaker 1: the guys Dan and the Dane's Dan Patrick Show. Glad
Speaker 1: to have you on board. You can watch the program
Speaker 1: all three hours for free on Peacock download the app
Speaker 1: say good morning to chat row in our great radio
Speaker 1: affiliates around the world, almost three hundred and seventy affiliates, Yes,
Speaker 1: around the world, not just around the nation, around the world. Brussels,
Speaker 1: we crush it, yes we do. Can't walk down the
Speaker 1: street in Brussels. That meeting great and Brussels, Oh it
Speaker 1: was great. We almost didn't get you out of there. No,
Speaker 1: that was lucky. I felt like one direction. Yeah maybe
Speaker 1: the Beatles maybe no direction. You know when a buzzkill
Speaker 1: came in today all excited about the Masters, ready to
Speaker 1: go early teen times, and I go, wait, those are
Speaker 1: highlights of previous Masters. What happened? We got rain in
Speaker 1: the forecast, they had lightning and thunder in the forecast
Speaker 1: as well, and you had some big names who are
Speaker 1: going to be teeing off early. Plus Also understand this,
Speaker 1: with daylight savings time, you have probably two hours less
Speaker 1: time daylight time in Augusta. They're gonna have to wrap
Speaker 1: all this up before five o'clock East Coast time, and
Speaker 1: normally they'd go to around seven seven thirty when you're
Speaker 1: playing in April. Now, with the Masters playing in November,
Speaker 1: maybe five o'clock at the latest there, they're going to
Speaker 1: try to cram all this in. Then you get to
Speaker 1: the weekend. You got college football in the NFL as well,
Speaker 1: and it might be a little dicey to get all
Speaker 1: to this in over the next four days. But we'll
Speaker 1: keep an eye on what's going on there and he
Speaker 1: updates with the weather and some of the bigger names.
Speaker 1: Teeing Off will clue you in on that. Yes, point,
Speaker 1: I have to get this out right now. Quick five
Speaker 1: minute poll question. Would you rather have the Masters pushed
Speaker 1: back because of rain today tomorrow, in the next few
Speaker 1: days so around is played in its entirety on Monday
Speaker 1: afternoon so it's not up against the NFL on Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 1: Or would you rather have the final round the Masters
Speaker 1: on Sunday so you could flip back and forth with
Speaker 1: the NFL. It doesn't matter to me. It feels like
Speaker 1: we've moved everything around, so if you move the final
Speaker 1: round of the Masters to Monday, all right, but what
Speaker 1: happens if you're moving an NFL game or something else
Speaker 1: to Monday or Tuesday? But yeah, I'm fine with that.
Speaker 1: I just want to see it played. I want to
Speaker 1: see how it looks, how it sounds, and how Tiger
Speaker 1: plays Bryson to Shambo. So I'm however, they do it
Speaker 1: whenever they do it, as long as they're able to
Speaker 1: do it and completed. Yea. Club. So the NFL, and
Speaker 1: I heard this on Red Zone, they have the fewest
Speaker 1: one o'clock games of any week this season. They only
Speaker 1: have five one o'clock games, and they pushed most of
Speaker 1: their games so four o'clock to try so you can fit.
Speaker 1: So five one o'clock and six to four o'clock and
Speaker 1: the Sunday night so you could have both, and they're
Speaker 1: really bad games at one o'clock. Well, CBS has to
Speaker 1: have that window to be able to carry this, and
Speaker 1: that's why they probably said, can we move our games
Speaker 1: to four o'clock? Fox doesn't care, and Fox still has
Speaker 1: their game of the week on Sunday afternoon at four
Speaker 1: twenty five. Yeah. Club, Yeah, So look at these games. Eagles, Giants,
Speaker 1: Jaguars at Packers, Washington at Detroit Texans Browns and Bucks Panthers.
Speaker 1: Is actually that's a good one though, M Yeah they
Speaker 1: just played Yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess. And then you
Speaker 1: got a game coming up TONIGHTO. By the way, it's
Speaker 1: the Colts and the Titans. Mclubin sent me a note
Speaker 1: He goes, hey, I just want to let you know
Speaker 1: the two best players probably in this game, or guys
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on their defensive players. And I go, wow,
Speaker 1: that's the way to sell it. Yeah, it's not even
Speaker 1: like pass rushing defense. It's I like T J. Watt
Speaker 1: and a knowledge. Is this DeForest Buckner? Yeah, I guess
Speaker 1: he's I kept reading he's transformed that Indianapolis cults the
Speaker 1: defense and he's amazing. But he's a defensive tackle, so
Speaker 1: we don't even notice. And is this Simmons with the Titans? Yes,
Speaker 1: this guy and I there's two Simmons in the NFL,
Speaker 1: but Jeffrey Simmons, who has been a slow bird as
Speaker 1: emerging as a start. But I mean, you know, you
Speaker 1: can sometimes jelled me for being too mean to the
Speaker 1: AFC South, but you have to admit from an optics standpoint,
Speaker 1: it's hard to get fired up about AFC South matchups. Yes,
Speaker 1: if this was a game played at one o'clock on Sunday,
Speaker 1: nobody would watch, nobody would care. But it's a standalone game,
Speaker 1: and that's what you want because we focus on what
Speaker 1: you do, either really well or really bad. But I
Speaker 1: don't know if I could sell this if I'm Fox's
Speaker 1: voiceover guy tonight, Jeffrey Simmons and the Titans versus DeForest
Speaker 1: Buckner and the Colts. You like sound defensive line play tonight?
Speaker 1: The Colts DeForrest Buckner versus the Titans. Jeffrey Simmons. Oh, sorry, Todd,
Speaker 1: I took cured like when you do that. My bad,
Speaker 1: My bad got carried away. I'm excited about some solid
Speaker 1: defensive line players coming up tonight. Yeah, when Simmons sets
Speaker 1: the edge of man. When you were looking at your
Speaker 1: Super Bowl hits, did you consider either these two teams?
Speaker 1: Were the Titans in your mix more so than the Colts?
Speaker 1: I don't, But you've been a fan of the way
Speaker 1: the culture building. I mean, but I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: want Philip Rivers. I like Philip Rivers fun interview. I
Speaker 1: don't want it was my starting quarterback. But I do
Speaker 1: think they're building something there. You know, they got a
Speaker 1: good coach, good GM. I just didn't like this. Hey,
Speaker 1: let's bring in Philip Rivers for one year, and it
Speaker 1: felt like you could have brought in somebody else who
Speaker 1: gave you a little bit more of a future there. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like you mean, you're not talking about Jakobe Prissette. You're
Speaker 1: talking about something new down the road. Well, as I
Speaker 1: told you, they were trying to get Jordan Love. And
Speaker 1: I don't know if they would have brought in Jordan
Speaker 1: Love and he would have played right away if they
Speaker 1: drafted him, or they would have worked him into the
Speaker 1: lineup at some point. But that's why I was told
Speaker 1: the Packers went up and got Jordan Love, because the
Speaker 1: Colts wanted Jordan Love. This program brought to you by

Speaker 1: College football games around the country being postponed this weekend
Speaker 1: for COVID related reasons. I've got the list here of
Speaker 1: games that have been postponed. Some have been canceled. Ohio
Speaker 1: State Maryland has been canceled their head coach Ryan Day,
Speaker 1: the Buckeyes head coach, will join his coming up final
Speaker 1: hour of the show. Air Force Wyoming canceled, Alabama LSU postponed,
Speaker 1: A and M Tennessee postpone, Missouri Georgia postpone, Mississippi State,
Speaker 1: Auburn postpone, Memphis Navy postpone, and Louisiana Monroe, Arkansas State postponed.
Speaker 1: What has been a trickle of games has suddenly become
Speaker 1: a title wave here. It's a crucial time for colleges
Speaker 1: to assess what is the best strategy and how to proceed,
Speaker 1: and as usual, the SEC is front and center. They've
Speaker 1: already had to postpone several marquee matchups coming up this weekend.
Speaker 1: Unlike the Big Ten and the Pac twelve, the SEC
Speaker 1: didn't hesitate when they saw the opportunity to play this fall.
Speaker 1: They jumped on it. But they also built in a
Speaker 1: little more wiggle room when you had some postponements here.
Speaker 1: PAC twelve Big Ten do not have that, and Ohio
Speaker 1: State is really running the risk of not being able
Speaker 1: to play for the Big Ten championship. It's strange. Could
Speaker 1: Ohio State still play for the national championship, be in
Speaker 1: the playoffs and not be in the Big Ten title game?
Speaker 1: Because you could have a situation where Indiana represents the
Speaker 1: Big Ten, her is the Big Ten championship team, But
Speaker 1: is Indiana better than Ohio State? They play each other
Speaker 1: coming up next week, But here's Ohio State missing the
Speaker 1: game against Maryland. Nothing to do with Ohio State. It's
Speaker 1: Maryland that had the COVID test. Now Alabama looks like
Speaker 1: a title contender. Everybody would agree Florida an m have
Speaker 1: a shot at the college football playoffs. But the SEC's
Speaker 1: got to explore every option right now, and the rest
Speaker 1: of college football normally follows whatever the SEC does, and
Speaker 1: hopefully the trends become more positive and the SEC and
Speaker 1: the other conferences can finish their seasons. And I want
Speaker 1: to ask Ryan Day, the Ohio State head coach, have
Speaker 1: you thought about did you think about going out and
Speaker 1: scheduling somebody? Remember Nebraska was going to do this and
Speaker 1: Nebraska was going to have you tea Chattanooga's short notice
Speaker 1: and I'd gotten word on this. And keep in mind,
Speaker 1: Nebraska was trying to go rogue before the season started,
Speaker 1: and then they thought, well, hey, we had this cancelation,
Speaker 1: can we go out and get some buddy? And the
Speaker 1: Big Ten said no. And what I found out was
Speaker 1: Ohio State and Michigan were on Nebraska's side because what
Speaker 1: I was told by a source, they thought, if they
Speaker 1: get into a situation, they want to be able to
Speaker 1: go out and schedule somebody, just like this weekend. So
Speaker 1: Ryan Day, the Ohio State head coach, will join us
Speaker 1: a little bit later on. I don't know if he's
Speaker 1: coming on for that reason to tell us that they're
Speaker 1: thinking about or they thought about scheduling somebody. I'm just curious,
Speaker 1: what if they only play five games, are they able
Speaker 1: to qualify? Is that enough for the Playoff Committee? Playoff
Speaker 1: committee is also about business. In fact, it's all about business.
Speaker 1: It's all about popular teams eyeballs, and Ohio State brings
Speaker 1: a big fan base there. Yes, Seaton O'Connor. Think about
Speaker 1: how many teams would have been eligible for the College
Speaker 1: Football Playoff if you only had to play five games. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're not. Through the history of college football, how many
Speaker 1: teams got right down to that LA game and then
Speaker 1: a loss to like Pit or somebody, and you're like,
Speaker 1: oh great, we blew if you only had five games. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's put something together, Dan, we got Ryan Day of
Speaker 1: Ohio State on Let's let's call over to you know,
Speaker 1: b YU, see what their coach is doing this morning.
Speaker 1: Maybe we can get a little something together. Send the
Speaker 1: call provo far up to Jet, send it to Columbus.
Speaker 1: See what happens. BYU. You pull off the upset, you're
Speaker 1: in the national title picture. It feels like if BYU
Speaker 1: wanted to play Texas A and M might be a
Speaker 1: little easier to do that than do something in the
Speaker 1: big ten. Let's go big. But look, BYU would be
Speaker 1: all in on this. If BYU would somehow be able
Speaker 1: to beat Ohio State or get that opportunity to play them.
Speaker 1: They need a big quality win. They have two more
Speaker 1: games and they're not against big opponents or Texas A
Speaker 1: and M. Texas A and M wanting to get into
Speaker 1: the final four. I think we're going to see a
Speaker 1: scenario where one of these schools is going to say,
Speaker 1: can we go out and schedule somebody else? Our game
Speaker 1: got canceled by U's got the week off, Alabama's got
Speaker 1: the week off. Let's go. Yeah. I don't think it's
Speaker 1: that easy. But four SEC games postpone to Ohio State
Speaker 1: Maryland canceled. They will not make that up. Yes, mcleven.
Speaker 1: It's weird that Jim Harbaugh's not coming on and arguing
Speaker 1: for more game. In fact, he's like, I look at
Speaker 1: their schedule, They've ever twenty first at Rutgers's praying for
Speaker 1: a postpone that I think coach is thinking safety first.
Speaker 1: I think that's really smart for coach Harball. Safety first.
Speaker 1: Cold Steten's Masters underway. Mclovin has a poll question or
Speaker 1: two I do do you want to give it to me?
Speaker 1: We have a series of poll question your favorite question
Speaker 1: basically whose future would you want? It could be a game,
Speaker 1: which one you want first? NFL or NBA? Oh, give
Speaker 1: me NFL. Then I'll get to the NBA with what's
Speaker 1: going on with the Rockets? Okay, we this is actually
Speaker 1: a leftover from yesterday. Whose future would you rather? The
Speaker 1: New York Football Jets or the New Glynn Patriots I
Speaker 1: think we should put that one up to see what
Speaker 1: I can say, and I'll let you think about it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the other two football ones, whose future would you rather have?
Speaker 1: The Dauphins or the Chargers? Because Tuah and and Herbert
Speaker 1: play each other this weekend, it's a referendum on the draft.
Speaker 1: You might say, yeah, yeah, Um, I'd probably rather have
Speaker 1: the Jets future, knowing that they're not going to be
Speaker 1: any good and they get Trevor Lawrence. At least I
Speaker 1: have a once in a generation, once in a decade quarterback,
Speaker 1: at least the prospects of that. And as much as
Speaker 1: I like Sam Darnold, Sam Darnold needs to, you know,
Speaker 1: leave the Jets and maybe, you know, salvage your career here.
Speaker 1: I don't know what's I don't know where the Patriots
Speaker 1: are going here. I don't know how long Belichick stays there.
Speaker 1: Is Cam your quarterback? You gotta have a quarterback. And
Speaker 1: if I start with a quarterback, and if I have
Speaker 1: trust in the front office, I don't have trust in
Speaker 1: the ownership with the Jets, and I don't have trust
Speaker 1: with the coach. But if you said I can get
Speaker 1: a you know, let's throw out Eric B. Enemy from
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. I get somebody like that, offensive minded, forward thinking,
Speaker 1: explosive spread it, get you know, speed out there, and
Speaker 1: then you tell ownerships down of the way, all right,
Speaker 1: because I'm guessing some receivers are going to want to
Speaker 1: play with Trevor Lawrence. You know, you're trying to build
Speaker 1: your offensive line. Get rid of some of that dead weight.
Speaker 1: You know, they got rid of Jamal Adams who didn't
Speaker 1: want to be there. Levon Bell I would say the
Speaker 1: Jets right now, yeah, Paul, the Jets are going to
Speaker 1: the offseason. They're probably gonna get Trevor Lawrence. They have
Speaker 1: two first round draft picks. They have eighty three million
Speaker 1: in cap space, second only to the Jaguars. But it's
Speaker 1: what you do with the cap space that matters. At
Speaker 1: the combo of a rookie quarterback deal and a ton
Speaker 1: of cap space, it's almost on a plate for someone
Speaker 1: to do, right. But have you ever seen somebody when
Speaker 1: they do something to their house and they've got all
Speaker 1: the money in the world, and you go, why would
Speaker 1: they do that? That doesn't make any sense. Wait what,
Speaker 1: That's what happens with some of these teams. We got
Speaker 1: all this cap space and then you go, but why
Speaker 1: did you do that? Like the Knicks. The Knicks, you know,
Speaker 1: they somehow will take Russell Westbrook and go, yeah, this
Speaker 1: is our future thirty Russ turns thirty two today, and hey,
Speaker 1: this makes us relevant. We got Russell Westbrook. It doesn't
Speaker 1: make you relevant. Like Oklahoma City was relevant because Russ
Speaker 1: was putting up triple doubles and we had not seen
Speaker 1: that in fifty years with Oscar Robertson. Now all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, we're like, okay, we get the triple double thing.
Speaker 1: That novelty is over here. But here the Knicks going, yeah,
Speaker 1: let's get Chris Paul. He's almost too old for us,
Speaker 1: the perfect time to get at him. He's thirty, he's
Speaker 1: gonna be thirty five. Let's get Russ, who uses his legs.
Speaker 1: He's thirty two. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 1: Great game plan there, What else do you have? Right?
Speaker 1: Just a point. The Patriots are right behind the Jets.
Speaker 1: Save the third vos cap space and you so they
Speaker 1: could spend it. Uh, this is another who's treacher? Would
Speaker 1: you want? This? Is? This debate is everywhere these days.
Speaker 1: Cardinals are ravens. It's kind of like the Kyler Murray
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson debate who these people are saying Kyler's are
Speaker 1: more evolved Lamar Jackson because he's better at the passing game. Um,
Speaker 1: you know Kyler's passing sat boy. We moved on from
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson quickly. Yeah, wow, you haven't seen oh you.
Speaker 1: But basically, Kyler Murray's gonna be old news who next year,
Speaker 1: someone's gonna com in. That's a shelf life. Now for
Speaker 1: a hot story. And Lamar Jackson was on Rich Eyes
Speaker 1: and Show yesterday and I'm gonna play this sound coming
Speaker 1: up where he says the defenses basically know what the
Speaker 1: plays are. When he goes to the line of scrimmage,
Speaker 1: they yell out what the play is. Who's faults that? Right?
Speaker 1: The red flag? If there, it would be you don't
Speaker 1: want that happen? Yes eight seven seven three d P

Speaker 1: little bit. I mentioned Ryan Day will join us. We'll
Speaker 1: check in with AUGUSTA fascinating story. Well I found it
Speaker 1: fascinating And if you're sitting there in your car, wherever
Speaker 1: you are consuming this, and I say, fascinating story about
Speaker 1: the sand at Augusta, You're probably going, boy, what happened
Speaker 1: to Dan? He's gone off the deep end? Yeah, the sand,
Speaker 1: it's a deep dive into the sand at Augusta. Fascinating story,
Speaker 1: it is. And having been in that sand at Augusta
Speaker 1: a couple of times when I played it is the
Speaker 1: brightest sand that you'll ever play it. And there's a
Speaker 1: reason for them. Yes, yes, you should have been coggings.
Speaker 1: You know. I've never really been in the sand traps
Speaker 1: at Augusta, right in the fairway, then on the green
Speaker 1: and three and two. Actually, yeah, that must have been
Speaker 1: the day you shot eighty three. Yeah, eighty three. I
Speaker 1: was in the bunker a couple of times, twice. Yeah,
Speaker 1: when I shot eighty one, I was not in the bunker. Yes,
Speaker 1: I totally didn't remember that you'd played at a Gusta.
Speaker 1: Oh really, here, let me tell you so, first tea,
Speaker 1: I hit it left and then I hit it to
Speaker 1: the right side. I'll never mind. I always love when
Speaker 1: you asked somebody, hey, how how did you play today?
Speaker 1: All right, first tea, I hit a driver and then
Speaker 1: I hit one forty three in I hit an eight iron,
Speaker 1: I missed it, you know, four footer, so I three
Speaker 1: jacks and bogey like they'll give you the whole. If
Speaker 1: you've ever covered a golf event, the first thing that

Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson and the Ravens head to Gillette Stadium to
Speaker 1: take on Cam Newton and The Patriot Sunday Night, seven
Speaker 1: Eastern only on NBC. Speaking of Lamar Jackson, he was
Speaker 1: on with rich Eisen yesterday on Richie's Show on Peacock
Speaker 1: and had this to say about what defenses are doing
Speaker 1: when he goes to the line of scrimmage. It just
Speaker 1: from the eye test, it looks like things aren't coming
Speaker 1: as easy for you this year. Is that a safe
Speaker 1: way to look at it? That things? Oh, I feel
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's a lot of it's a lot
Speaker 1: of with schemes. You know, we're going to get defenses
Speaker 1: he calling out out please, stuff like that, like they
Speaker 1: know what we're doing. So a lot of that, you know,
Speaker 1: sometimes you know, stuff won't go away. I deepness of
Speaker 1: the points, so you're you're hearing on the other side
Speaker 1: of the line of scrimmage the defense calling out your place.
Speaker 1: That's yeah, they definitely do like run stuff like that
Speaker 1: or watch out for this, watch out for that. Sometimes
Speaker 1: that's what's going on now. This is what happens and
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning talked about this with Zach Thomas the Dolphins.
Speaker 1: He said, I'd go to the line of scrimmage and
Speaker 1: Thomas would call out the defense. He knew what we
Speaker 1: were gonna do. I'd change it in audible and then
Speaker 1: he would call out again. Peyton said that he'd just
Speaker 1: had an idea of what we were doing. It was
Speaker 1: very frustrating when you would play against him in the
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins. Amnuacho is the former NFL linebacker co host
Speaker 1: of Fox Sports one, Speak for Yourself, and has a
Speaker 1: new book called Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man. Emanuel.
Speaker 1: Good to have you on. Let me start with that
Speaker 1: topic with Lamar Jackson. How is it that these defenses
Speaker 1: or a defense knows what Lamar Jackson and the Ravens
Speaker 1: are doing when they get to the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 1: As a middle linebacker in the NFL, Dan, I can
Speaker 1: tell you it's not that complicated. What do I mean? Well,
Speaker 1: last year Lamar Jackson took the league by storm. So
Speaker 1: many of these NFL coaches hadn't seen the spread style
Speaker 1: run game. When I played at the University of Texas.
Speaker 1: I was playing against the guy by the name of
Speaker 1: Robert Griffin who won the Hiesman his senior year, my
Speaker 1: senior year. After you see it for a while, you understand, Okay,
Speaker 1: if the back is offset to the quarterbacks right and
Speaker 1: he's about two yards deeper than the quarterback, you're probably
Speaker 1: going to get an inside zone type of run. If
Speaker 1: he's offset to the quarterbacks right and he's even with
Speaker 1: the quarterback, you might get an option to the right.
Speaker 1: Based on depth perception of the running back, based on
Speaker 1: splits of the offense, you can pretty fairly anticipate what's
Speaker 1: going on. The problem, Dan is simple. Last year, you
Speaker 1: only had about three days to prepare for Lamar Jackson
Speaker 1: if you were going to see him that week. This year,
Speaker 1: you've had about three four months to prepare for Lamar
Speaker 1: Jackson all off season. So I think they're starting to
Speaker 1: see the adjustment catching up to the Ravens. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: if Lamar knows this, the defense knows this, then how
Speaker 1: is it that the Ravens aren't you counteracting this well?
Speaker 1: Because you can actually only do so many things on offense,
Speaker 1: particularly if you live within a certain scheme. See when
Speaker 1: you're going to get up against the guy like Andy Reid.
Speaker 1: He's doing ridiculous stuff, a ton of different formations, a
Speaker 1: ton of different pre snapshifts and moves. But when you're
Speaker 1: going against the Baltimore Ravens, they don't do so much.
Speaker 1: They just do it excellently. And that's the difference. When
Speaker 1: I was playing against the Carolina Panthers in thirteen, fourteen
Speaker 1: and fifteen with Cam Newton, preparing for them was grueling.
Speaker 1: They had thousands of formations. Hy probably obviously, but they
Speaker 1: could run so many different things out of those formations.
Speaker 1: The Ravens they keep it more simple. They just executed
Speaker 1: a higher level. There's a pro to that, but also
Speaker 1: a con to that as well. If I gave you
Speaker 1: their futures right now, Lamar Jackson or Kyler Murray, I
Speaker 1: would probably say, oh, that's so tough. Let me say
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. I know a lot of people are saying
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, and I really like Kyler Murray. I probably though,
Speaker 1: like Cliff Kingsbury and his offensive mind more than I
Speaker 1: like what they have going on and with Greg Roman
Speaker 1: and with the Ravens. Remember this is a problem, Dan,
Speaker 1: when you're talking about sports, so many people look at
Speaker 1: just the incubated team. Oh, well, give me Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 1: over to Shaun Watson. Well, sure, but what if you
Speaker 1: would have had Patrick Mahomes drafted to Bill O'Brien's Texans
Speaker 1: and to Shaun Watson drafted to Andy Reid's Chiefs. Like
Speaker 1: it's just it's never apples to apples when people try
Speaker 1: to make these comparisons. And also when we start to handicap,
Speaker 1: like how long it takes for somebody to take that
Speaker 1: next step? And you know, it feels like receivers it
Speaker 1: takes them a little while to get the game doesn't
Speaker 1: come to them as easy as some of the other
Speaker 1: positions there. Brandon Marshaw I remember telling me it took
Speaker 1: him six years for the game to kind of come
Speaker 1: to him. Quarterbacks, it's coming to you right away. Dk Metcalf,
Speaker 1: it's sort of coming to him right away. That if
Speaker 1: I said I'll give you any receiver for the next
Speaker 1: five years, who are you taking? And most people are
Speaker 1: probably taking Dk Metcalf. How is it that he slipped
Speaker 1: by everybody in the first round? Well, as a college
Speaker 1: football analysts, remember DK Metcalf was oft and oft and
Speaker 1: injured A J. Brown was also on that team receiver
Speaker 1: for the Tennessee Titans. A J. Brown was probably a
Speaker 1: better collegiate receiver than DK Metcalf, many would argue, particularly
Speaker 1: because of health. Let's also not underestimate Russell Wilson. Tyler
Speaker 1: Lockett was supposed to be a gadget guy. Kyler Lockett
Speaker 1: in the Big Twelve Conference where I played to college football,
Speaker 1: he was a return ace return specialist. He had two
Speaker 1: hundred yards receiving on fifteen catches just two weeks ago.
Speaker 1: Let's not underestimate Russell Wilson. Doug Baldwin. What was he
Speaker 1: an undrafted free agent turns into a perennial or repeat
Speaker 1: Pro bowler. Russell Wilson's also playing a great major factor
Speaker 1: in DK success. And kudos to DK Metcalf for overachieving.
Speaker 1: If you will, When did you start thinking about this
Speaker 1: is a career when you were playing. Then I gravitate
Speaker 1: towards what I'm good at. In high school, I went
Speaker 1: to an affluent, all white private school. I was supposed
Speaker 1: to be a national merit scholar. My parents my parents
Speaker 1: born in Nigeria. I'm first generation American, So Dan, I'm thinking, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be a nerd. Go to Yale, go to Harvard,
Speaker 1: I wind up being six to two hundred forty pounds.
Speaker 1: I was like, well, I guess we'll play football. While
Speaker 1: playing football, Dan, I was like, okay, I kind of understand.
Speaker 1: I was never the fastest, I was never the strongest,
Speaker 1: but I was typically the smartest on the football field.
Speaker 1: So I said, let me get into breaking down games,
Speaker 1: breaking down tape, because it's not what you know, it's
Speaker 1: what you can get the listener and the fan to know.
Speaker 1: And I realized I'm decently skilled at that. That's why
Speaker 1: I moved into it. What did Christian Okoya mean to Nigeria?
Speaker 1: Christian Okoya obviously the great running back for the Kansas
Speaker 1: City Chiefs. Everyone knows him as a Nigerian Nightmare. Dan.
Speaker 1: My first email when I was a ninth grader in
Speaker 1: high school, it was Nigerian Nightmare at Yahoo dot com.
Speaker 1: First email, my very first one. So when you say
Speaker 1: what does Christian Okoya mean to Nigerian Americans, to Nigerian
Speaker 1: football players, He's the legacy and that legacy has since
Speaker 1: been tried to be since been carried on. Think about
Speaker 1: the NFL draft, Dan three Nigerian players were drafted in
Speaker 1: the first Obviously Jeff Okuda, I remember him. I think
Speaker 1: Noah Egboghinea, another cornerback from Auburn, and there was one
Speaker 1: more player who's slipping my mind. But think about what
Speaker 1: Christian o'koye started and how that legacy has continued to
Speaker 1: be passed down. Emmanuel also the former NFL linebacker and
Speaker 1: he's the co host Marcellus Wiley with Speak for Yourself,
Speaker 1: But the book is uncomfortable conversations with a black man.
Speaker 1: When did you think about doing the book and why? Yeah, Dan,
Speaker 1: after the racial tension going on in our world, I said,
Speaker 1: I have to do something to alleviate some of this.
Speaker 1: I'm a sports analyst, sure, But before I'm that, Dan,
Speaker 1: I'm a black man. And before I was even that
Speaker 1: the world the world saw me as a black man.
Speaker 1: I was a human being. It's my job to leave
Speaker 1: the world better than I found it. I said, Wait,
Speaker 1: I was immersed in white culture, Dan, at this all
Speaker 1: white private school growing up. Then I was immersed in
Speaker 1: black culture in the NFL and in college, and I
Speaker 1: realized there's a color and culture issue. Dan, like black
Speaker 1: people and white people udicate differently, and because we communicate differently,
Speaker 1: let me try to act as a bridge to allow
Speaker 1: my white brothers and sisters to understand some questions, answer
Speaker 1: some questions that they may never ask because they don't
Speaker 1: have black friends to ask them too, or a black
Speaker 1: group or feel comfortable. So I said, let me write
Speaker 1: this book to help educate those that want to be
Speaker 1: a part of the solution in America. What is the
Speaker 1: I guess, top question that we should ask or you
Speaker 1: that you want to answer? Such a great question, I
Speaker 1: think the top question which is such a volatile topic.
Speaker 1: People talk about white privilege. Well, Emmanuel, I worked hard.
Speaker 1: How can you say I'm privileged, Dan? Let me say this,
Speaker 1: I currently have famous person privilege. I was walking down
Speaker 1: the street in Beverly Hills, Dan, I walk into a restaurant.
Speaker 1: They say, Emmanuel, I love your show. Your meal is
Speaker 1: on me. Then the meal was free, not because I'm black,
Speaker 1: not because I'm six too, because they knew who I
Speaker 1: was so many people in America. I submit that privilege
Speaker 1: just means you have certain access to a space or
Speaker 1: certain immunity from a space because of who you are.
Speaker 1: So when you talk about white privilege, it's understanding that
Speaker 1: in America, I have certain immunity or certain access to
Speaker 1: certain spaces. It's not saying your life hasn't been hard.
Speaker 1: It's saying your skin color hasn't contributed to the difficulty
Speaker 1: in your life. I think, Dan, there's so many visceral
Speaker 1: reactions based on terms in our current society that really
Speaker 1: turned people off. But until we open up our minds
Speaker 1: of understanding, open up our hearts to understand, we won't
Speaker 1: really see the unity that we need. And let me
Speaker 1: say this real quick. I played in the locker room
Speaker 1: for the greater light and the greater part of my life,
Speaker 1: and people say, well, the manual in the locker room.
Speaker 1: People look past race, Dan, they look past religion because
Speaker 1: we're all fighting towards a common goal. But in America,
Speaker 1: the reason we have so many divides is because we're
Speaker 1: not all fighting towards the common goal. We don't all
Speaker 1: realize oppression exists. Racism may exist, Systemic racism exists. So Dan,
Speaker 1: if you're not fighting towards a common goal, then you
Speaker 1: end up fighting each other. And that is a difference
Speaker 1: between how in a locker room you can overlook your differences,
Speaker 1: but in the world we struggle to why is it
Speaker 1: that in the moment there is this blowback or this
Speaker 1: anger or resentment with those Muhammad Ali, Martin Luther King.
Speaker 1: I even look at Lebron James and I shouldn't be
Speaker 1: just singling out African Americans. There are a lot of
Speaker 1: people who speak up on this topic, but it feels
Speaker 1: like it's after the fact we look back with reverence
Speaker 1: and admiration instead of in the moment. You know, I
Speaker 1: don't know how we're going to look back on Colin
Speaker 1: Kaepernick because in the moment and even now, it's still
Speaker 1: volad oh, I don't know fifteen, twenty, thirty, forty years,
Speaker 1: I don't know how history treats him. Ali. They didn't
Speaker 1: treat him well. Martin Luther King was divisive as well.
Speaker 1: Lebron James, you know today is divisive to a lot
Speaker 1: of polarizing to a lot of people. Why isn't we
Speaker 1: don't see what's in front of us or appreciate what's
Speaker 1: in front of us. There's twofold number one day in
Speaker 1: the old quote you never know what you got until
Speaker 1: it's gone. But now let me dive a little bit deeper.
Speaker 1: No one likes to get uncomfortable in the moment. This
Speaker 1: is a sports show, so let's talk sports. University of Texas,
Speaker 1: I had a strength coach called mad Dog Madden. He
Speaker 1: wore a huge gold chain around his neck that said,
Speaker 1: mad Dog, you're probably about six four, three hundred plus pounds.
Speaker 1: And do you think I like my strength coach in college?
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. I didn't like when he was yelling at me.
Speaker 1: I didn't like when he was forcing me to do
Speaker 1: something I didn't want to do. I didn't like what
Speaker 1: he was making me wake up at six am to
Speaker 1: run gass across the football field and the hot Texas
Speaker 1: He absolutely not. But as I've gotten older, I've realized,
Speaker 1: wait a second, everything he was doing for me at
Speaker 1: the time was for my benefit. But more importantly, everything
Speaker 1: mad Dog, my strength coach, was doing for me at
Speaker 1: the time was for the greater good of the team.
Speaker 1: And I think the issue at hand is when you
Speaker 1: talk about guys like doctor Martin, Luther King, Lebron James
Speaker 1: Muhammad Ali the likes. What they're trying to do is
Speaker 1: for the greater good of the team, the United States,
Speaker 1: our team which we're all on together. Now. You might
Speaker 1: not agree with some of their philosophies. You might not
Speaker 1: agree with some of their terms. I might not have
Speaker 1: agreed with all of these sets and repetitions my strength
Speaker 1: coach was making me do, but the intention was pure
Speaker 1: behind it. And I think, really, Dan, we just we
Speaker 1: don't like to get uncomfortable, and that's why I wrote
Speaker 1: the book, and that's why we're starting to see some
Speaker 1: growth in our country. Is there part of you that says,
Speaker 1: is my calling something above just doing sports and breaking down?
Speaker 1: You know? Is Carson Wentz good enough to be the
Speaker 1: starting quarterback for the Eagles? Oh? I so genuinely appreciate
Speaker 1: that question. Definitely, Dan. I've realized there's a difference between
Speaker 1: your career and your calling. So your career is what
Speaker 1: you're paid for. Your calling is what you're made for.
Speaker 1: And while my career has been sports x's and os
Speaker 1: Lebron James Carson Wentz versus Nick Foles? Who was better?
Speaker 1: Who is greater? My calling has been trying to bridge
Speaker 1: racial reconciliation in this world. My calling has been trying
Speaker 1: to unite my black brothers and sisters and my white
Speaker 1: brothers and sisters. I realized Dan, this, I didn't play
Speaker 1: in the NFL to make a lot of money or
Speaker 1: to tackle people. I didn't go to this affluent top college,
Speaker 1: preparatory school and in high school to get a phenomenal education.
Speaker 1: I think, Dan, everything I've gone through in my life
Speaker 1: has led me to this moment, has led me to
Speaker 1: uncomfortable conversations with the black Man, has led me to
Speaker 1: this series, which over seventy million people have now seen
Speaker 1: in five months. My calling Dan is bigger than myself,
Speaker 1: and I'm just glad to be a vessel to be
Speaker 1: used in the moment. The most important question I'll ask you,
Speaker 1: and the most important question you'll hear all day, is
Speaker 1: if it was you against Marcellus Wiley and only one guy,
Speaker 1: one guy got out of the octagon, who would it be? Well,
Speaker 1: first off, it would be me, because Marcellos Wiley would
Speaker 1: tire out. Okay, he doesn't work out anymore. He's a
Speaker 1: little soft around me, if you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: And though he went to Columbia, Dan, I would outsmart
Speaker 1: him because I have two degrees, one being in sports psychology,
Speaker 1: so I would use all his tactics against it. Don't
Speaker 1: let him for you, Dan, he's got old guys strength.
Speaker 1: Though he's got he has grown Man Straight. Without him, kids,
Speaker 1: he got grown Man Straight. Good luck with the book
Speaker 1: and also with the Fox Sports one with the Speak
Speaker 1: for Yourself, Thank you, and tell Marceldus we said hello,
Speaker 1: thank you, Emmanuel, thank you my brother. All right, Emmanuel Ancho,
Speaker 1: the former NFL linebacker. And the book is Uncomfortable Conversations
Speaker 1: with a Black Man. This is a dialogue that he's
Speaker 1: hoped to create that's honest, straightforward, accessible to those who
Speaker 1: seek answers, a conversation that needs to happen to mend
Speaker 1: the racial divide in our world. The book Uncomfortable Conversations
Speaker 1: with a Black Man just turned thirty yesterday, two days ago.
Speaker 1: I think pretty wise for a guy who just turned thirty.
Speaker 1: Is that right? Tom? I believe so. All right, Thank
Speaker 1: you Tom, all right, we'll take a break. We'll back. Uh.
Speaker 1: We got our play of the day coming up next
Speaker 1: and an unbelievable stat of the day pertaining to Jack
Speaker 1: Nicholas and Tiger Woods. Back after. Thanks for listening to

Speaker 1: don't clock the ball. They throw to the Verstoff. They
Speaker 1: don't clock. Fake the clock. They fake the clock. Play
Speaker 1: it from the Clickstoff pass right opening. The Broncos take
Speaker 1: the league with fifteen seconds left to go of the game.
Speaker 1: Are you kidding men, Broncos Radio Network. That's a lot
Speaker 1: of fun to watch Western Michigan with the fake spike
Speaker 1: touchdown to go ahead with seventeen seconds to go. Little maction.

Speaker 1: Get unlimited access to every master class and fifteen percent
Speaker 1: off the first year of an annual membership at masterclass
Speaker 1: dot com. Slash Patrick, what's the poll question we're going
Speaker 1: with with with this today? McLevin. We started with whose
Speaker 1: future would you want? The Jets are the Patriots? It's
Speaker 1: eighty five percent one way. Try to get switch way.
Speaker 1: I think people said the Patriot. Yeah, Okay, Well, they
Speaker 1: have trust in that they get it right. Even when
Speaker 1: they have a dip, they always come back. The Jets
Speaker 1: have a dip, then they keep going deeper and deeper
Speaker 1: and deeper. Well, having the number one pick and tons
Speaker 1: of salary cap like the Browns and the Lions and
Speaker 1: the Bengals, all those teams have had the number one
Speaker 1: pick and tons of salary cap space, you gotta do
Speaker 1: like you said, you gotta do the right thing with it.
Speaker 1: I just have to have trust in the front office
Speaker 1: there that if I have Trevor Lawrence. It's one thing
Speaker 1: because if the Jets had done right by Sam Darnold,
Speaker 1: then Sam Darnell would probably still be their quarterback of
Speaker 1: the future. But they didn't do right by him. They're
Speaker 1: in a position where they might win a game, but
Speaker 1: they'll have Trevor Lawrence and then now it's up to
Speaker 1: them to surround Trevor Lawrence or you're going to have
Speaker 1: another situation in three years where we go, yeah, Trevor
Speaker 1: Lawrence is not that good or he can't stay healthy.
Speaker 1: You got to surround him with talent. Doesn't matter who's
Speaker 1: at that position, it's your coach, the offensive strategy, what
Speaker 1: kind of weapons. Do you have salary cap? Who's the GM?
Speaker 1: Can you get free agents there? You got to throw
Speaker 1: in a lot of items into that blender. Yeah, Poling,
Speaker 1: what if I did the same question, whose future would
Speaker 1: you want with the California teams? The San Francisco forty
Speaker 1: nine ers, the LA Rams and the LA Chargers. Man
Speaker 1: that I don't think that's that easy because the Rams
Speaker 1: feel good, but not real good. It feels like the
Speaker 1: Niners are dipping. The Rams I think are elevated this year.
Speaker 1: The Chargers are just the Chargers, you know. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: like the quarterbacking situation there, and that's how you start.
Speaker 1: I got a rookie quarterback. Now I can start to
Speaker 1: spread this out. Maybe we can get a team that
Speaker 1: stays healthy. You know, the Niners quarterbacking situation, that's my
Speaker 1: big question. You know, Jared Goff and Sean McVay. Are
Speaker 1: they back on the same page where they can be
Speaker 1: at an elite level on a consistent basis. Yeah, McLellan.
Speaker 1: I mean you have two of the best young coaches.
Speaker 1: I think you have Kyle Shannahan and Sean McVay. Those
Speaker 1: are two teams guys that are going to be in
Speaker 1: the Hunt forever. I mean, I think the Chargers aren't
Speaker 1: even in the discussion. I mean, Kyle Shanahan's really good,
Speaker 1: isn't he. And McVeagh is I don't know how he
Speaker 1: is as a head coach. I know he's offensive minded guy,
Speaker 1: great offensive mind, but well, at least you have that.
Speaker 1: You're gonna have that. Yes, Yeah, and that's what today's
Speaker 1: NFL is. Sean McVay is an offensive minded guy. You know,
Speaker 1: Anthony Lynn and the Chargers, You're own these fourth quarter leads,
Speaker 1: and I can put that on I start with the
Speaker 1: head coach, and a little bit of that is going
Speaker 1: to be on my quarterback. Although it feels like he's
Speaker 1: doing everything you want him to do or need him
Speaker 1: to do. The defense should be able to hold some
Speaker 1: of these leads as well, and the defense is kind
Speaker 1: of I know they're I know they're injured, but you're
Speaker 1: blowing fourth quarter lead, double digit fourth quarter leads. Yes, Hunt.
Speaker 1: It seems like with Herbert, I think he's doing well
Speaker 1: enough where these close games maybe wouldn't be so close
Speaker 1: another quarterback that charges to be even worse than they are,
Speaker 1: that they wouldn't even have these games coming down to
Speaker 1: the way that Herbert somehow keeping it interesting till the end.
Speaker 1: I guess you can only wonder if their defense was
Speaker 1: healthy and what kind of position they would be in.
Speaker 1: But they do have a whole lot of talent, you know,
Speaker 1: No Derwin, James, Joey Bosa. I think Bosa is now
Speaker 1: practicing again. But every year, every single year, you start
Speaker 1: the season, you go, wait, who who's hurt? Hunter, Henry
Speaker 1: Mike Williams. Never fails you start the season that way.
Speaker 1: All right, here's my stat of the day. Jack Nicholas
Speaker 1: won his sixth Masters back in nineteen eighty six, twenty
Speaker 1: three years after his first Masters. He was ranked thirty
Speaker 1: third in the world going into the Masters that week.
Speaker 1: If Tiger wins this week, it will be his sixth Masters,
Speaker 1: twenty three years after his first. He's ranked thirty third
Speaker 1: in the world going into this week. That's your Yeah, Yet,
Speaker 1: out of the day, day start the day, that start
Speaker 1: of the day start. How amazing is that? It's a
Speaker 1: courtesy of Brando SHAMBLEI it was with us yesterday. I
Speaker 1: don't know why he didn't give it to us yesterday.
Speaker 1: Brando Shamble singing no, no, no, Brandon, No no, Brando SHAMBLEI, well,
Speaker 1: the of Golf Channel didn't. Yes, he does. He was
Speaker 1: with his yesterday. Yes. If you're not into numerolosity, you
Speaker 1: don't believe in that kind of stuff, that kind of
Speaker 1: stat If that doesn't get you're excited about fun with
Speaker 1: numbers and looking further into how things play out in
Speaker 1: the universe. I just think it's wild. I'm into numerology
Speaker 1: and I don't know why. I'm horrible with math. But
Speaker 1: like if you say, you throw out a number. Todd
Speaker 1: To always do his scoreboard contest at the end of
Speaker 1: the show, and I just look at a number, and
Speaker 1: it always I visualize something automatically. You know, whether it's
Speaker 1: a player, it's a year, it's some kind of category number,
Speaker 1: what they had. But I grew up that's all I
Speaker 1: cared about were numbers. I didn't care about numbers going
Speaker 1: to school and math, but I did care about those numbers.
Speaker 1: I don't know why I'm fascinated by you. They're just
Speaker 1: certain things that stand out and you go, why do
Speaker 1: I remember that? And a lot of it is it's
Speaker 1: amazing how you know, there's so much clarity and your
Speaker 1: memory is so crystal clear. When you're younger, but you
Speaker 1: don't have all this clutter, at least we didn't back then.
Speaker 1: I would focus in on these things and then they
Speaker 1: never left me. Other things have left me, but those numbers,
Speaker 1: and even now and just fascinated with numbers, magical numbers,
Speaker 1: at least what we thought were magical numbers, or somebody's
Speaker 1: jersey number, a special season that somebody had. But your
Speaker 1: memory when you're twelve years of age is a whole
Speaker 1: lot better. When you're thirty two or forty two, fifty
Speaker 1: two twelve, you remember everything because it was so important
Speaker 1: in your life. Did we decide on a pole question?
Speaker 1: Mclem Yeah, well we started with Jets versus Patriots. I
Speaker 1: think we need to go to the another. Who's future
Speaker 1: do you want? I have a good NBA one. Well,
Speaker 1: I was also thinking I want to get into the
Speaker 1: rocket situation coming up next down by the way, Isaiah Thomas.
Speaker 1: He did it again. Isaiah Thomas did it again, and
Speaker 1: it involves Michael Jordan. Have that for you coming up
Speaker 1: as well. But how about if you said Lamar Jackson
Speaker 1: or Kyler Murray? Who would have thought Lamar Jackson's coming
Speaker 1: off a unanimous MVP? If they were both free agents
Speaker 1: right now. I'll bet you Kyler Murray would win. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I M McLevin so with Joe Burrow number one. He
Speaker 1: was the number one overall pick. They both can't win.
