I 12 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,200 Speaker 1: think that we've approached it that way, that we tried 13 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: to be that distraction for you during this pandemic, and 14 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,599 Speaker 1: hopefully we can continue to be that for you an outlet. 15 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: You can watch news, you can watch analysis on the news, 16 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: you can find all those things that you want, and 17 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 1: hopefully we're a safe haven for you that you know 18 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: what you're going to get when you tune in. Today 19 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,960 Speaker 1: might be a little bit different. You know, we watch 20 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:10,040 Speaker 1: games for a living. We're not constitutional experts, but we're 21 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: human and I think everybody was affected by what they 22 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 1: saw yesterday. And I'm not trying to divide anybody in 23 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: this job. I try not to play the political game here, 24 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: but there are times when you have to speak up. 25 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 1: You should speak up. I have the platform to speak up. 26 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: I try to unite people. We bring them together with 27 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: that common thread of it's us. And that's the way 28 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: I still approach this and I will always approach it 29 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: that way. You know, we root against each other's teams, 30 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: but we're still in it together because we love sports. 31 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: I mean, that's the beauty of this. You know, there 32 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: is more that's discussed in sports than there is in 33 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: any other walk of life when you think about it. 34 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: We've talked politics, we've talked religion, we've talked race, we've 35 00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: talked violence, we've talked you know, players being active. We've 36 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: talked about all of those things when we need to 37 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: talk about those things. But the events in DC yesterday 38 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: were historic, they were profound, they were surreal, they were ugly. 39 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: And I would love to talk about the NFL playoff 40 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: matchup so or Bradley Beale's sixty point game last night, 41 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: but it would be disingenuous to start the show and 42 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: act as if hey, it's just another day, because it's not. 43 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 1: This will be a tough show to do. Not that 44 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: you're looking at degree of difficult for me, but these 45 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: are shows that I do not look forward to doing 46 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: because there's a delicate balance and it just feels like 47 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: there's some raw emotion that is, it's on the surface, 48 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: and yesterday was troubling. That was that was tough to watch. 49 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: But you know, the very fundamentals we hold deer that 50 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 1: makes sports possible. They're threatened, and I'm sorry, just to 51 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 1: stick to sports doesn't feel like a relevant statement. I 52 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 1: don't think for anybody. Today. We'll do our best and 53 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,519 Speaker 1: hopefully you'll have patience with us to understand that it's 54 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: three hours, this is live and we react to whatever 55 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: the news might be. Hopefully today is a whole lot 56 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: better than yesterday, which is not saying a whole lot, 57 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: but we together with what we do every single day, 58 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: with your involvement, whether you call, you email, you tweet, 59 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: or you just listen or just watch. Now, I know 60 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: what my job is today and I'll try to do 61 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: it the best that I can. Eight seven seven three 62 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: D P Show email address DP at dan Patrick dot com, 63 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: Twitter handle at dp's show, the sports headlines no more 64 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: positive test for the Browns. We mentioned yesterday that Trevor 65 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: Lawrence is going pro. Bradley Beale scored sixty points last night. 66 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: The seventy six Ers, I think are now seven and one. 67 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: Doc Rivers has done a wonderful job. I did want 68 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: to bring this up and I thought it was important 69 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: with the context of what has happened here in the 70 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 1: last eleven or twelve months. And you know, there's been 71 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter, there's social unrest, there's protests, there's activism, 72 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 1: there's a lot of things, and we have discussed as 73 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: best we can and giving both sides. Doc Rivers had 74 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: some pretty powerful comments, and Doc has had some pretty 75 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: powerful comments throughout all of this, and he had a 76 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: press conference yesterday, the seventy six ers head coach, and 77 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: I thought it was worth bringing back here's Doc Rivers. 78 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 1: I'll say it because I don't think a lot of 79 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 1: people want to. Could you imagine today those were all 80 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: black people storming capital and what would have happened? You know? 81 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: So that to me is a hitching that's worth a 82 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: thousand words for all of us to see and probably 83 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: um something for us to reckon with again. You know, um, 84 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: no police dogs turn on people, no billy clubs hitting people. 85 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: People peacefully being escorted out of the capitol. So it 86 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: shows that you can disperse the crowd peacefully, I guess 87 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: would be the one thing. Um, But it's a sad 88 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 1: day in a lot of ways. It's not good for 89 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: our country more across the borders that people see this, 90 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 1: but it's it's it's part of what we are and 91 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: so we have to solve them. A's Doc Rivers before 92 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 1: yesterday's game with the Wizards, and I started to think 93 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 1: about this. In our world in sports, we have a winner, 94 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: we have a loser. We have the numbers that back 95 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 1: these you know, outcomes these games. Whereas in the world 96 00:05:55,839 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 1: of politics, you know, it's left in doubt, or we 97 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: can cast doubt on it, we can make it gray. 98 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 1: There's no real clock that's ticking, and it's just you know, 99 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 1: hey he says he won, Hey he says he lost. 100 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: We don't do that in sports. It's like you did 101 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: win and you did lose. It'd be like mac Jones going, 102 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,359 Speaker 1: you know what I think, Yeah, I like to you know, 103 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 1: let's check those votes there. I think I might have 104 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: won the Heisman. Here it's we have in our world. 105 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: We have results. It's right there in black and white. 106 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: We got the stats, we have it. That's why it's 107 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: so foreign. Sometimes when you're going in in other walks 108 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 1: of life, we don't know, or we act like we 109 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 1: don't know, or we cast doubt on something. In sports, 110 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 1: we don't I mean, we might go, did the Knicks 111 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: really win the Patrick Ewing Sweepstakes? Like that's our big one. 112 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: Do you think the commissioner knew which car was the Knicks'? 113 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: That's as close as we get. I had news yesterday 114 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: and Paulie and I had a good discussion yesterday because 115 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: what was going on. I got some news about the 116 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: National Title game. And I said, look, I have this news. 117 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: I don't care if somebody beats me to it. You know, 118 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: I don't you know, do these scoops or breaking news. 119 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: That's not my job. But if I get the information, 120 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: I always pass it on to you the audience. And 121 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: when I got the information, it was right after the show, 122 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,679 Speaker 1: and you know, we were glued to our TV sets 123 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: and just like, what is going on? And I just 124 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: put it to the side because I didn't want to 125 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: come off as disingenuous or wait, you're going to put 126 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: out some breaking news story and this is going on 127 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: like the National title game. Just it wasn't important yesterday. 128 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: And so Paulie and I called him and I said, hey, 129 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: look I have some information. I got a little more 130 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: information here. And then he said, now we got to 131 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: wait till tomorrow. Got to wait till tomorrow. And the 132 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: more I thought about it, the more he was right. 133 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: I didn't want to do it last night. I just 134 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: didn't want to do it and go, hey, this is 135 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: going on because it wasn't important. I mean, it is important, 136 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: you know, as we move forward to crowning a national champion, 137 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: but it's sports important, not our country's importance. And I 138 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: just I didn't want to seem like I had no 139 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: idea what was going on in the real world. And 140 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: I go, hey, got this information from a source here, 141 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: and so let me let me tell you what I 142 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: got yesterday because I was curious a couple of things, 143 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 1: and that is is Ohio State planning on playing in 144 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 1: the National title game? And I asked my source, I said, 145 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: is Ohio State planning on playing in the National title 146 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 1: this next Monday? And my source said, Ohio State is 147 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: very close to the availability limit right now, especially at 148 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: the defensive line positions. And then my source said the 149 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: Big Ten is advocating for Ohio State to be able 150 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: to postpone the National title game. Now. I don't know 151 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: if it's an official request, this is what I have. 152 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 1: It just says team hit hard by COVID, especially the 153 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 1: defensive line. Ohio State is close to the availability limit 154 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:43,439 Speaker 1: for the game. Big Ten advocating to postpone for a week. 155 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 1: We've heard some rumblings here. I did ask about justin Fields, 156 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: and my source said, let me see banged up but 157 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: ready to play, or banged up but will play because 158 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: I didn't know if let's see. Yeah, my source says 159 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: Fields banged up, will play. Big Ten trying to get 160 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: a postponement. Defensive line and the team hit hard by 161 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: COVID and they're approaching the availability limit to be able 162 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: to field a team that the Big Ten would be 163 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: advocating for moving this. It's not Ohio State. From what 164 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: I'm told, the Big Ten is saying we need to 165 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: have a what would be a legitimate national title game, 166 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,679 Speaker 1: and COVID is still now Alabama and Ohio State aren't 167 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: transparent with their numbers. They haven't been, and apparently they 168 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: don't have to be. They're also governed by different medical 169 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: rules in their conferences. The SEC and Big Ten approach 170 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: this differently, so trying to get the information there has 171 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: been hard to find out exactly how art hit they 172 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 1: are with COVID, but it sounds like they're inching closer 173 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: to the number of players they need to have available 174 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: for this national title game. So that was the information 175 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: I had yesterday. And you know, there there have been 176 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 1: pockets of information like this out there, But from what 177 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: I was told yesterday, the Big Ten is advocating for 178 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:28,199 Speaker 1: postponing this a week. Not Ohio State and Justin Fields, 179 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 1: from what I'm told, will play. Ohio State is planning 180 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 1: on playing. I just want to make sure that we 181 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: underline that Ohio State is planning on playing, but the 182 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 1: Big Ten is advocating for Ohio State, who is close 183 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: to the availability limit, to be able to postpone this 184 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: game for a week. That was the information I had yesterday. 185 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,440 Speaker 1: All Right, we'll come up with the poll question. Play 186 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,839 Speaker 1: of the day. Stat of the Day Dan Orlovsky from 187 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: the ESPN. I always love when he joins us. We'll 188 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 1: talk some football here. Look, we're gonna tiptoe through this day. 189 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 1: We are. I'm sure you have a lot of opinions 190 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: that I you know, I think we all do. But 191 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 1: I'm here to cover the sports reaction to this. If 192 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 1: there were games that we're going to be impacted. Last night, 193 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 1: there were you know, signs of unity protest taking a knee. 194 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 1: We saw that last night. But I said to Fritzie, 195 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: you know, if you're looking for somebody, only if a 196 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: game is canceled or a game is in jeopardy, if 197 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 1: you know, Washington's football game this weekend, if there would 198 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 1: be something that would affect that, That's that's the job 199 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 1: that we have today. That's what we're trying to do. 200 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 1: I don't want to give speeches, and I don't want 201 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: this to turn into that kind of discourse. I don't 202 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: because it's not what we do. And you can find 203 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: that elsewhere. And hopefully we can provide information, entertainment, the 204 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 1: things you've come to expect on this program.

Well, this is the first 218 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: time I've ever felt the need to call. Uh. We're 219 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,679 Speaker 1: so fortunate to live in a country where sports is 220 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: a by product of our of our good fortune. You know. 221 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: I just I'm so upset that we can't come together. 222 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: We're so divided politically and racially that nothing good can 223 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: happen until we come together. And I want to thank 224 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: you for making a good balance of the news and sports, 225 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: because really I've been listening for about a year now, 226 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: and every day I look forward to hearing you guys 227 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: make jokes, and but this isn't a day for jokes, 228 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: and I just wanted to thank you for taking the 229 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: time to do things correctly. Thank you, Ricky. Look, I 230 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: don't have a game plan, there's no map to do this, 231 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: and I think you've trusted me that we approach this 232 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: in the professional manner. I don't troll you. I'm not 233 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: trying to incite anybody. I'm not playing a political game. 234 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: I try not to. I try to do what my 235 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: job is, and that is we do sports, we do entertainment. 236 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: Sometimes you do sports and entertainment. But that's the goal 237 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: today as it is every day. And if there's something 238 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: that comes up that I think warrants, you know, coloring 239 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: outside the lines, then we'll do it. But until you know, 240 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: something sports related is impacted by this, we saw it, 241 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: we felt it, it hurt, it bothered, we had a 242 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: reaction to it, and we'll try to move forward today. Uh, 243 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: what kind of poll question? You know what? How about 244 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: I take a break. It's you know, let me let 245 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: me just kind of air this out. Let's let's get 246 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: into a commercial break here and reset. Dan Orlovski will 247 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: join us. We'll talk some football there. And a really 248 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: strange decision by the Houston Texans in regards to who 249 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: they're interviewing and who they're not, so we'll have that 250 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 1: for you coming up as well. Take a break. It's 251 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 1: seventeen after the hour.

Well make way for Dan Orlovsky of 261 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: the Mothership here in a moment mclovin. What's the poll 262 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 1: question today? I have several NFL poll questions, A real 263 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: quick NBA question that I don't even want to think about. 264 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: Who would you rather have? James Harden or Bradley Beale? 265 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: Bradley Beale's twenty seven, Harden's thirty one? What do they 266 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: cost me? Got? I got Harden wrapped up for two 267 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: more years? Bradley Beale, though I don't know what his 268 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: contract status is. It feels like Bradley Beale's name comes 269 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:05,120 Speaker 1: up every six weeks, and then somebody will go, gosh, 270 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,439 Speaker 1: you know, the Lakers should go for Bradley Beale, or 271 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 1: the Miami Heat should go for Bradley Beale. And then 272 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: Bradley Beale continues to toil in Washington with the Wizards. 273 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 1: As he put up sixty lest he had fifty seven 274 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: through three quarters, ended up with sixty. He doesn't win 275 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: when he put up. He puts up these numbers because 276 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: I was curious. He had sixty points last night, but 277 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: they lost in Philadelphia by five. Over the last two seasons, 278 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 1: Bradley Beale has scored at least fifty points three times. 279 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:39,439 Speaker 1: Washington has lost all three games for all the other 280 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:44,399 Speaker 1: players since twenty nineteen, their teams are eighteen and four 281 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: when they score fifty or more points. Sounded like a 282 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: stead there, Yeah, the day day stat of the day 283 00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:01,919 Speaker 1: he comes that, what stat of the day? Give me 284 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,199 Speaker 1: another NFL pub question. Then we'll get to Dan our 285 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,120 Speaker 1: life right. Two questions. We're gonna ask which AFC wildcard 286 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: team do you give you the best shot of reaching 287 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,679 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl? Bills, Ravens, Steelers, Titans, Culture Browns and 288 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 1: which job opening would you want Jets, Lions, Texans, Chargers, 289 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 1: Falcons or Jaguars. So we're going to do a two 290 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,160 Speaker 1: for Tuesday today. Okay, I saw where Eric bi Enemy, 291 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,639 Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator the Chiefs interviewed with every team that 292 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 1: has an opening except for the Texans. Now are they 293 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,719 Speaker 1: planning to interview him? Because I would think if I 294 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: get that guy who's been working with that quarterback to 295 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: now work with my quarterback in Houston, I don't know, 296 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 1: it seems like it's worth an interview. And it feels 297 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: like everybody is getting an interview now because of Zoom 298 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,120 Speaker 1: that you don't have to travel to the city. I'm 299 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: gonna guess you could get Eric bi Enemy to sit 300 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: down for a couple hours. I'd just be curious about 301 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: that that of all the teams, Eric b Enemy interview 302 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 1: with everybody but the Texans. Dan Orlovski gets paid the 303 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: big money to answer questions like that. ESPN will have 304 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,640 Speaker 1: its a megacass production. They got the Ravens and Titans 305 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,119 Speaker 1: Wildcard game at one Eastern on Sunday, Dan and the 306 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,360 Speaker 1: rest of the NFL Live crew and you can check 307 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 1: that out. The traditional telecast will be on the ESPN 308 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 1: on ABC. Do you think that this is a we'll 309 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 1: get back to you at some point Eric B Enemy 310 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 1: or the Texans aren't interested in interviewing the Chiefs offensive coordinator. Yeah, 311 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 1: I would imagine that they're not interested, which is moronic. 312 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: You know, the fact that they should have hired him 313 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: after that playoff debacle last year. They should have said, no, 314 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 1: we're done with Bill O'Brien, the enemy come in. So, 315 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: you know, I don't think like that the Texans job 316 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: is that much about the Shawn. I mean, it's really 317 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: get out of the way. He's such a special player. 318 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: It's more so like can you find a way to 319 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: rebuild the roster with absolutely no assets. That's the biggest challenge. 320 00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: So it's like the fact that they I haven't interviewed 321 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 1: Eric B Enemy or that he's not at the top 322 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: of their list is just a very small kind of 323 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 1: viewpoint into how dysfunctional the Houston Tections are run right now. Yeah, 324 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: I don't think it's a great job. And if you 325 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: were going to rank these jobs, where would you start 326 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 1: with the number one? Opening the Chargers easily, mainly because 327 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 1: the Chargers have a general manager that's proven. It's not 328 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: just I mean, the fact that Herbert's there is amazing, 329 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,399 Speaker 1: but Telesco's put together a really good roster, and I 330 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 1: think that's like one of the hardest things to do 331 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:39,400 Speaker 1: in the NFL is find really good consistent general managers. Second, 332 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: you know, I know everyone points to the Jags because 333 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: they have the number one pick, but I would be 334 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: a little bit hesitant hearing Shad Khan come out and 335 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 1: say he wants some form of roster control. You know, like, 336 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,160 Speaker 1: and you don't know who the general manager is there. 337 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: If you look at the Jets job, at least I know, 338 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 1: at least I have one year of Joe Douglas as 339 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 1: the guy and go, okay, he had three really good 340 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: picks in his first draft, or at least two that 341 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: looked really good with mems in Beckton. Some third rounders 342 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 1: had some promise. So like, I've got a guy that's 343 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: got fifteen plus years in Baltimore as a as a 344 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,359 Speaker 1: front office guy who we know Baltimore is fantastic, and 345 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 1: I have proof that like he can draft good, good players, 346 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,400 Speaker 1: and they've got so many picks moving forward. I could 347 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: sit here and tell, in my opinion say, I think 348 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,879 Speaker 1: the Jets job is better than the Jags because of 349 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: the guy taking the picks. Yeah. I've always said when 350 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,119 Speaker 1: people go, oh, they got all these draft picks, and 351 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: I say, who's drafting? Who's who's using those picks. The 352 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: Browns had all these picks all these years and they 353 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: didn't do well. So Baltimore makes use of whatever picks 354 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:50,199 Speaker 1: they have better than anybody does. What is just you 355 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: know when let me ask you this question, because I've 356 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: asked this to Daniel Jeremiah, that you could have Trevor 357 00:21:55,080 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 1: Lawrence or you could have Justin Herbert Right now, I 358 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 1: would say Justin Herbert. And that's a big jump for 359 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:08,159 Speaker 1: me because I was a huge Trevor Lawrence fan and 360 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: I still am. But the two things. I think. The 361 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: thing that stands out the most to me is when 362 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 1: Herbert's back was against the wall and he really had 363 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 1: to like kind of take over games. This year he 364 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 1: did like he took over games. I understand the offensive 365 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 1: line wasn't great and some receivers were down, and he 366 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 1: still played really well. As much as I loved Trevor 367 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 1: Lawrence and as much as I don't like the scheme 368 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: that he played in at Clemson and that they were 369 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: kind of okay talent wise. This year, he didn't. He 370 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,439 Speaker 1: didn't rise up when his back was against the wall, 371 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: and that would be something that I have to figure 372 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: out why that was the case the last three times 373 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,679 Speaker 1: he's played in those big games when the team across 374 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: from him was pretty darn good and he had to 375 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 1: become like the dude, the difference maker. He didn't do it. 376 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:02,640 Speaker 1: And that's a little that gives me pause. But if 377 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,400 Speaker 1: you look at Justin Fields now, with what he did, 378 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: how he played, got you know, hit pretty hard, the 379 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 1: toughness there, had some great deep throws over the middle, 380 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: and now you have the National title game. Is there 381 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 1: a way that he could somehow come out of this 382 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 1: as the quarterback in the draft? Oh? Yeah, absolutely. I'd 383 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:28,400 Speaker 1: say two ways why. Two reasons why if if urban 384 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,880 Speaker 1: Meyer takes the Jacksonville job, I could absolutely see him 385 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: liking Justin Fields. And then two, if you go out 386 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 1: and whoop up on Nick Saban's defense, that's a big 387 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: deal to the NFL. I mean, NFL coaches value and 388 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,399 Speaker 1: evaluators value Nick Saban as a coach. If you go 389 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: out in whoop venibles and whoop Nick Saban. You can 390 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:55,399 Speaker 1: absolutely see him jumping Trevor Lawrence. If you were the Jets, 391 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 1: what would you do? So if I'm the Jets and 392 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 1: I sit there and I go, you know what, I think, 393 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 1: Justin Fields or Zach Wilson is as good as Sam Darnold, 394 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,360 Speaker 1: or in three years is going to be as good 395 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: as Sam Darnold. I take one of those young quarterbacks 396 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: because I'm resetting the financial clock, you know, as a 397 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,199 Speaker 1: quarterback where if you decide Sam is going to be 398 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 1: an exponentially better player, fine, but you got one year 399 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: to figure that out because it's next after next year, 400 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 1: you've got to make the decision on the fifth year 401 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: for him, and then he starts becoming expensive. And so 402 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: that's the challenge for Joe Douglas is trying to figure 403 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: out where are those quarterbacks? And I love Sam, but 404 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,919 Speaker 1: just a financial freedom that you get drafting one of 405 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 1: those two quarterbacks. So if you think they're just as 406 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 1: good and they're going to be just as good in 407 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: the next three years, you don't see this big gap 408 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: between them and Sam. You take either Zach wilsoners Justin Fields. 409 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 1: Do the Dolphins have to do their due diligence with 410 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 1: the number three pick overall and look at a quarterback. 411 00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 1: Absolutely not. The Dolphins are right on pace with where 412 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 1: they should be when it comes to rebuilding their roster. 413 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: Here's the thing, Dan, Like the last two years, they 414 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,479 Speaker 1: took a bunch of assets and allocated them to the 415 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,679 Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball, both in free agency and 416 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: the draft, and they hit a bunch. That's why they 417 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 1: were a good football team. This year, they got to 418 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,360 Speaker 1: do the same thing on the offensive side this year. 419 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:23,679 Speaker 1: You know, Tuah is not a recess style of freestyle 420 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 1: type of quarterback. He's an executor. He's Drew Breese but 421 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 1: with a little bit more athleticism. So how do we 422 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 1: make sure, Like, here's the thing, what's the number one 423 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: physical asset? I don't care what the quarterback looks like. 424 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 1: The number one physical asset? Can you be NFL accurate? 425 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,439 Speaker 1: Tua can be NFL accurate. You can't just like cross 426 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 1: your fingers and hope that somebody becomes that. And so 427 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,879 Speaker 1: they got a draft either an offensive lineman or an 428 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: offensive tackle, an offensive guard with the number three pick. 429 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 1: My guess is it's going to be Penna sul draft 430 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,159 Speaker 1: that just like the Saints did. The Saints in the 431 00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,880 Speaker 1: last ten years of their drafts, in the first two rounds, 432 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 1: took seven offensive linemen. They took two wide receivers. Like 433 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: they built their team to protect the quarterback and then 434 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 1: they got good players around them. That's what they need 435 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: to do with ta build the offensive line, protect him, 436 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,160 Speaker 1: getting him, get him in an offense that is similar 437 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: to what Drew has been and Sean Payton and too, 438 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,160 Speaker 1: we will be a great player. But just getting another 439 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,680 Speaker 1: quarterback is not the answer. He's Dan Orlovsky ESPN NFL 440 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 1: Live analysts the Browns without Kevin Stefanski. So you don't 441 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: have your head coach, and you don't have your play caller. 442 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 1: How do you try to substitute what can be done? 443 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,160 Speaker 1: Because we've seen a different Baker Mayfield here, kind of 444 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 1: getting used to that cadence and play calling and understanding 445 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: what your team's identity is here. And now you go 446 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,399 Speaker 1: into this game against the Steelers. So what do the 447 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: Browns do? Yeah. One of the strength of Kevin Stefanski 448 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 1: is his opening script. The first fifteen twenty plays of 449 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: a game he scripts out and so people know, like 450 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 1: coaches grind tape all week and they figure out, okay, 451 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 1: defense is they like to play soft early on, so 452 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,200 Speaker 1: we'll get easy completions, or they blitz us, so we 453 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 1: gotta have blitz answers, or they'll play a ton of man, 454 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,360 Speaker 1: so we got to take shots down field. Like That's 455 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 1: what the opening script is about, is figuring out how 456 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: defenses want to start games and then attacking that. Well, 457 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 1: we know that Kevin Stefanski's really got one quarter to 458 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 1: impact this football game because after her first two drives 459 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 1: as an offense, defenses start to figure out what you're 460 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 1: doing and change, so then you are in that constant 461 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,400 Speaker 1: changing mode. Stefanski won't be there a quarters two, three, 462 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,400 Speaker 1: and four to figure that out, So we know he's 463 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 1: got one quarter to really get his fingerprints and stamp 464 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 1: his imprint on this game. If I'm Kevin Stefanski, the 465 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,199 Speaker 1: only way I think we could win this game is 466 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 1: we get out fourteen nothing. If we get to the 467 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: end of the first quarter world three nothing, we can't 468 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,199 Speaker 1: win because the Steelers have an advantage. Then because of 469 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 1: that change in him not being there, I'm emptying the 470 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: bag in the first quarter. I'm coming out incredibly aggressive 471 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: and whatever trick plays or gimmick plays that I think 472 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,679 Speaker 1: we've got, that we execute well, that we practiced all season. 473 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,680 Speaker 1: They're getting used and trying to figure out a way 474 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 1: to jump out fourteen nothing because if they jump out 475 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 1: fourteen nothing because of that, then they got a chance. Okay, 476 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,199 Speaker 1: they can pound the run, they can be aggressive at 477 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 1: their defensive line. That's their only shot. Because one of 478 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 1: the main changes this year is we know is Stefanski. 479 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 1: But he's been able to impact the game on a 480 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 1: first through fourth quarter basis. He won't do that this week. 481 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 1: He knows he's got fifteen minutes, make them count. Got 482 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 1: an upset this weekend? Oh man? Do I think that 483 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears can beat the Saints? To do? If 484 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: I'm the Chicago Bears, I'm doing the same exact game 485 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 1: plan that the Philadelphia Eagles used with Jalen Hurts. You know, 486 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: Mitchell Dubiski is going to have eight plus runs in 487 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 1: this game if I'm them, because they play so much 488 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 1: man coverage. Basically it becomes one on one out in 489 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 1: the open field with Mitchell and someone else, and he's 490 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 1: athletic enough to make guys miss. And so I think 491 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: that if they can kind of allow him to be 492 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 1: an athlete a ton, which they've done here recently. I 493 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 1: could see that happening. Could I see Tennessee beating beat 494 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: in Baltimore? I could you know if if, especially early on, 495 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 1: those two receivers A J. Brown and Corey Davis make 496 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 1: some impact and get kind of the coverage back Derrick Henry. 497 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 1: Here's the thing, Like I used to be with Gary Kubiak, 498 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: and when we were with Coobs and we were playing 499 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 1: against the defense that had two really good cover corners, 500 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 1: Coops would say all the time, we're gonna make the 501 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 1: cover corners tackle early in this game. We're gonna find 502 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: out if those guys want to tackle or they just 503 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 1: want to cover. And I could see Arthur Smith starting 504 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 1: this game for Tennessee and going, all right, Marcus Peters 505 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 1: and Marlon Humphrey, we're gonna find if you guys want 506 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 1: to tackle, and if you don't, game is over. Well wait, wait, 507 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 1: how does that work though? Dan? That? Yeah? Like, how 508 00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 1: does the defensive back not tackle? It to want to? 509 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 1: I mean, tackling two hundred and sixty pounds is a 510 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: want to? You know, it's in the run game, Dan, 511 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 1: Like you know, run game is always math you know, 512 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 1: and there's always gonna be one person that's left over. 513 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 1: And then as an offense, your job is to figure 514 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 1: out how to find who that one person is. You 515 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 1: can scheme things up there our corner, you're gonna be 516 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 1: the one guy and you go, Derek that that's your guy. 517 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 1: And you know, I've never had to tackle two hundred 518 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,479 Speaker 1: and sixty pounds. I'm thankful, but like that, that's how 519 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 1: you do it. You scheme up to be Okay, we're 520 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 1: not gonna block that guy. That's the tailbacks and corners 521 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: are gonna have to come up and dude, it's a 522 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 1: physical commitment to go like all right, I'm putting my 523 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 1: face on this, dude. And especially early on in football games, man, 524 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 1: we used to do it. Like here's an example. Um, 525 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 1: we would do it with a guy like Antonio Cromarty. 526 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 1: Crow was incredible at coverage. We would run at him 527 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,720 Speaker 1: early in games on purpose, even if the play wasn't successful, 528 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 1: and the back would be like, all right, that's my guy, 529 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 1: and it would be this violent collision and you would 530 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 1: watch it and be like, okay, One was their impact, 531 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 1: you know, like was their impact? And two does it 532 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 1: affect his ability to cover and three. If he's not 533 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 1: gonna tackle, he's going to see that all game long. 534 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 1: I'm wondering about Drew Brees. It's hard for you guys 535 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 1: to leave the game, you know, when you win. You know, 536 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 1: John Elway couldn't play anymore. So he wins the super Bowl, 537 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 1: he's able to walk away. Peyton Manning couldn't play anymore, 538 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 1: He's able to walk away. I can't imagine, you know, 539 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 1: Drew Brees, let's say he would lose to the Bears. 540 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 1: Is he more likely than to want to come back 541 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 1: because you just went out in the first round or 542 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 1: he's got the NBC job. Yeah, I think he's more 543 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 1: than likely just to walk away after a great career. 544 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 1: I think he's he could be honest with himself that 545 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 1: he's still good, but he's good enough to really kind of, 546 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 1: you know, be the dominant quarterback that he's been for 547 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 1: a long time. I also there's the reality that there's 548 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 1: there's seventy seven million over the captain next year. Can 549 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 1: they afford Drew? Can they afford paying him twenty five 550 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 1: or thirty million dollars but also afford the people that 551 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 1: are gonna needed to be around him to play well, so, 552 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 1: I think at the end of the day, he's a 553 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 1: Hall of Famer, He's in the conversation for one of 554 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 1: the greatest ever. But I don't think, especially with the 555 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 1: injury this year, like I think that Drew is content 556 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 1: to walk away and knowing he's got something else and 557 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,760 Speaker 1: he's joining a different team makes it a little bit easier. 558 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 1: Who gives the Rams a better chance to upset Seattle 559 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 1: As far as quarterbacking goes. I don't know if you've 560 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 1: ever broken your thumb, but yeah, I've done it twice. 561 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 1: I've done exactly what golf has done. I've done it 562 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 1: in college or high school, once in the NFL once. 563 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 1: One time I came back in like two weeks, and 564 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,960 Speaker 1: then one time post surgery, I came back in five weeks. 565 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 1: That was the NFL time Jared Goff, I would be 566 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 1: shocked if he doesn't play. This is like golf gives 567 00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 1: them a way better chance to win the football game 568 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: than Wolford does, you know, a way better chance. And 569 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,880 Speaker 1: if golf feels good, especially early on, I think the 570 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 1: Rams win the game because I don't think beating Seattle 571 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 1: is I think it's first team to twenty points, right, 572 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 1: and if you watch those two games back. I actually 573 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:17,000 Speaker 1: texted Jered because I know him, and I just sent 574 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 1: him a note and I said, find your freaking checkdown 575 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 1: because there's eight eight times that the checkdown is wide 576 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 1: open and he just won't throw it, trying to do 577 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,840 Speaker 1: something else. And he responded back to me, ha ha 578 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,440 Speaker 1: ha um. So I think he gets the point. M 579 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:38,719 Speaker 1: So you think he's playing. I think he's playing. I haven't. 580 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 1: I haven't asked him that question. I try to kind 581 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 1: of like respect that stuff. If you're saying to him, 582 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 1: you're checkdown, you're not talking about next year, You're talking yeah, 583 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 1: talking about this week. And yeah, I'm anticipating he's playing 584 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 1: because I've had that injury and I and I kind 585 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 1: of know the surgery that he had and know that 586 00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,240 Speaker 1: you can come back in two weeks from it. So 587 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 1: he gives them the best chance. And I as of today, 588 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:05,520 Speaker 1: and I don't think i'll change. I think that they 589 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:09,440 Speaker 1: win the game. I think the Rams win the game. Uh, 590 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,359 Speaker 1: let me see if I had anything else for you. 591 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 1: What's in the fridge, by the way, anything good? I 592 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:17,879 Speaker 1: mean a lot of kids stuff, just because we got 593 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:21,759 Speaker 1: so many stinking kids. But uh, leftover tacos last night? 594 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 1: Leftover tacos or glorious?

You're checked down 659 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:13,680 Speaker 1: receiver here. If you think he's not going to be 660 00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:17,279 Speaker 1: playing this week. Yeah, point, if you're Sean McVay, do 661 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,440 Speaker 1: you have to start golf and see what he can 662 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,200 Speaker 1: do and then go to Walford or whatever his name is, 663 00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,320 Speaker 1: Walford If he can't do anything, he can't perform with 664 00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:27,000 Speaker 1: the thumb, because if you leave golf on the bench 665 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:30,240 Speaker 1: and you lose, you found out. Well, we were being cautious. 666 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,440 Speaker 1: It's not a knee, it's not a back, it's a thumb. Yeah. Yeah. 667 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:35,920 Speaker 1: If he can play, if he can grip, if he 668 00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:37,920 Speaker 1: can make all the throws, he can grip the football. 669 00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:39,680 Speaker 1: I don't know what the weather is going to be 670 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,440 Speaker 1: like in Seattle, but it's not like he's going to 671 00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,840 Speaker 1: Lambeau here, Susan in New Jersey. Hi, Susan, what's on 672 00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:50,520 Speaker 1: your mind? Hi? Actually, what you're talking about? I had 673 00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:54,759 Speaker 1: the surgery that Jared Goff had twice. And the reason 674 00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 1: I had it twice was because the first time I 675 00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 1: was king ice cube in a tray after the surgery 676 00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:07,719 Speaker 1: and literally the thumb tore off my hand because the 677 00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:11,160 Speaker 1: surgery had a sattle yet and I see the top 678 00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:14,759 Speaker 1: dock in Philadelphia for hand surgery and he said, you 679 00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:18,200 Speaker 1: do nothing. The second time, I adopt the surgery two 680 00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 1: months later and he cast it. And I've had eleven 681 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:27,560 Speaker 1: surgeries in my life. I've never had anything so painful 682 00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:31,080 Speaker 1: in my entire life as this surgery because they're cutting 683 00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,920 Speaker 1: through the tendons in your hand and oh my gosh, 684 00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,839 Speaker 1: I just if I saw stars for leaks. How far 685 00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,120 Speaker 1: can you throw the football though, Susan, That's what I 686 00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:44,680 Speaker 1: want to know. I can't grip anything and I'm three 687 00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:48,279 Speaker 1: months out. Yeah, well, thanks for the phone call. I 688 00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:52,560 Speaker 1: appreciate that Susan is not going to be able to 689 00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,560 Speaker 1: play against Seattle.

So not terrible. No, but 694 00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,960 Speaker 1: you know, these guys, when you consider how often you're 695 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:17,480 Speaker 1: throwing and the follow through and you normally you'll hit 696 00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:19,920 Speaker 1: your hand on somebody's helmet and that that's how you 697 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,440 Speaker 1: break your hand.
