Speaker 3: Yeah, Paul, real quick before we move on, did any
Speaker 3: of you guys have a great yearbook photo? My senior
Speaker 3: year felt good about it.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, although I had a red blazer on it. I
Speaker 2: don't know why. My mom took me shopping and it's
Speaker 2: a side it's the angle is very dramatic. I don't
Speaker 2: know why I allow this to happen, but it's okay.
Speaker 2: Hair look good, got this red blazer on, and of
Speaker 2: all my pictures, that's probably the best that I had
Speaker 2: yes time.
Speaker 4: Because the schools they hire these people, they think they
Speaker 4: Fellini or something like that. They don't wish they were in.
Speaker 5: Some kind of movie or something, and they're like, this
Speaker 5: is the best they can do is taking like middle
Speaker 5: school or high school pictures.
Speaker 4: They get a little carried away with it over the
Speaker 4: shoulder look or whatever.
Speaker 2: Did fully need take high school pictures?
Speaker 4: I don't know. Hopefully did I think he just went
Speaker 4: right to the big time as far as.
Speaker 2: I know, like Richard Avedon or somebody like that.
Speaker 5: Maybe, Yeah, they take me a little too seriously that
Speaker 5: the people were taking the pictures of that.
Speaker 4: You know, it's just a high school yearbook. Relax.
Speaker 2: How about you, Marvin, how was your high school yearbook?
Speaker 4: You know what, I don't mind it.
Speaker 6: I had a had a tan shirt, a tan tie,
Speaker 6: and I had football pants on that you cannot see.
Speaker 6: My mom got me out of football practice that Marvel.
Speaker 6: You got to take this photo because it was the
Speaker 6: last day, So Marvin, you have to.
Speaker 4: So it looked good.
Speaker 6: The hair looked good, you know, had had the waves,
Speaker 6: had the waves spinning when I had hair.
Speaker 2: What about you, Dylan?
Speaker 7: Uh? My, my I peaked probably with like my fifth
Speaker 7: grade yearbook photo, but my senior year one they used
Speaker 7: the I didn't like fill out anything, so I think
Speaker 7: they just use one. And it's the one where I
Speaker 7: have like my fist under my chin like the thinker.
Speaker 7: It's uh, it's pretty brutal.
Speaker 2: That would be Rodan, very good, yes, Rodan. Uh, Fritzy
Speaker 2: has a picture like that with your your chin resting.
Speaker 5: On your your real like a really concentrating But my
Speaker 5: picts are all puffy hair, weird things with suspenders of
Speaker 5: a lore shirts, jams shirts.
Speaker 4: Back in the day, and that was a big deal.
Speaker 4: I felt like carpeting on your shirt. I don't know
Speaker 4: what I was doing.
Speaker 2: Well, you can be part of the DP show calendar.
Speaker 2: You send us your photo. DP Calendar twenty twenty seven
Speaker 2: at Danpatrick dot com. All right, pull question, play of
Speaker 2: the day, stat of the day, all of that forthcoming.
Speaker 2: Ya had a lot of trades. The difference between buyers
Speaker 2: and sellers just a couple of games. I still go
Speaker 2: back to the Brewers. Look, I know small market. Nobody
Speaker 2: in the AL and NL Central want to spend money,
Speaker 2: although the Cubs do. But you have this team that
Speaker 2: they have the third best odds right now to win
Speaker 2: the World Series. Go out and at least put in
Speaker 2: an effort for Terrek Skubel because it helps you in
Speaker 2: two ways. It keeps him from the Dodgers, and with
Speaker 2: him and Misowski, you can win with those two guys
Speaker 2: as your starters. Certainly in a five game series, but
Speaker 2: a seven game series. So I at what point do
Speaker 2: you say, Okay, we're all in. I go back with
Speaker 2: the Brewers when they traded for CC Sabathia. They used
Speaker 2: him down the stretch. It didn't work out in the playoffs,
Speaker 2: but at least they made an effort there. Yes, I
Speaker 2: know you give up prospects, but at what point do
Speaker 2: you say this is as good as we kind of
Speaker 2: expect to be or want to be, And you're not
Speaker 2: going to be able to go out there and keep
Speaker 2: that picture from that You have to go through the
Speaker 2: Dodgers anyway, So why not go get a guy the
Speaker 2: Dodgers really might need now with Otani not being able
Speaker 2: to pitch, So that one surprised me a little bit.
Speaker 2: The Braves same thing. You got a lot of talent. Now,
Speaker 2: maybe they think this is good enough, but I don't
Speaker 2: think it is. Certainly in the National League. In the
Speaker 2: American League, this is where I'd be going. If I'm
Speaker 2: the Rays. Certainly the Yankees, I'd go all in. The
Speaker 2: American league's wide open. You can get to the World Series.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's not a lot of hurdles in your
Speaker 2: way in the American League. Now, the Yankees they have
Speaker 2: the second best odds. You know, the Red Sox are
Speaker 2: now back in the picture. Who would have thought. But
Speaker 2: if I'm the Rays, maybe I can't keep trek scuoble.
Speaker 2: But what is the goal here? Is the goal to
Speaker 2: make the playoffs? And kind of be threatening. Is that
Speaker 2: to get to the World Series? Like what is the
Speaker 2: goal here? And that's what's lost on me with the
Speaker 2: trade deadline. Go in and roll the dice, and I
Speaker 2: know we'll look back and say, oh my gosh, you
Speaker 2: know three years ago they gave up that prospect. I
Speaker 2: get it, but I would at least want my team
Speaker 2: to go, let's go. I don't want you to be crazy.
Speaker 2: I don't want you to be drunken sailors. I want
Speaker 2: you to be smart about it. Get the right guy
Speaker 2: for your team. And Trek Scuoble is the best pitcher
Speaker 2: in baseball, at least on the short list, and the
Speaker 2: Brewers Missserowski tired down the stretch last year. Now you
Speaker 2: have to give him him almost an innings limit pitch count.
Speaker 2: But you got to be ready to go in the postseason.
Speaker 2: And if you got the third best odds and you're
Speaker 2: not loading up and not keeping Trek Scuble from the Dodgers,
Speaker 2: to me, it's a missed opportunity. The Falcons have signed
Speaker 2: b Jeon Robinson to a new deal. He and Jamier
Speaker 2: Gibbs were holding out or holding in. This is the
Speaker 2: updated running back pay and this just happened about fifteen
Speaker 2: minutes ago. Bjeon Robinson is twenty two point twenty five million.
Speaker 2: With incentives, it'll be twenty five million, So that's number one.
Speaker 2: Number two on the list is Saquon Barkley at twenty
Speaker 2: point six Christian McCaffrey nineteen million, Devon eighth Chan sixteen million.
Speaker 2: So Jamir Gibbs probably is looking at something in the
Speaker 2: twenty three million dollar range. With incentives. For Bijon Robinson
Speaker 2: it could be up to twenty five million. And you
Speaker 2: start to look at the value of these two running backs.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying they've separated themselves because sik One Barkley
Speaker 2: is still wonderful, but Bijon signs three years seventy five million,
Speaker 2: and if you start to look at what his contributions are,
Speaker 2: he might be the best running back in football. If
Speaker 2: I look at what he did last year, he had
Speaker 2: fourteen hundred and seventy eight rushing yards, he averaged five
Speaker 2: point one yards per carry, He had seventy nine catches,
Speaker 2: He had twenty three hundred yards from scrimmage and eleven touchdowns.
Speaker 2: Gibbs twelve hundred yards rushing, averaged five yards per Carrie
Speaker 2: had seventy seven catches for six hundred yards eighteen hundred
Speaker 2: and thirty nine yards from scrimmage with eighteen touchdowns. Extremely
Speaker 2: valuable and both of them are and really the center
Speaker 2: point of their offenses and the running back position starting
Speaker 2: to get paid again CMC. When he got paid, then
Speaker 2: Saquon came in. Now you got Bijon and then you're
Speaker 2: going to have Jamiir Gibbs get paid as well.
Speaker 7: All right, poll.
Speaker 2: Question for the first hour of the program, Dylan, what
Speaker 2: are you thinking about?
Speaker 7: Well, we can start off with one from PAULI. Spending
Speaker 7: a lot on your running back is smart or not smart?
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 2: When the Falcons drafted Bijon Robinson, what did they take
Speaker 2: him eighth? The Lions they took Jamir Gibbs, what was
Speaker 2: he twelve?
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 2: Your goal is to get your running back another contract.
Speaker 2: I would think if you're going to take somebody up
Speaker 2: that high, isn't your goal to be like I want
Speaker 2: you to be great and we want to bring you back.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 2: I'm not big on running backs after five years. I
Speaker 2: just think the wear and tear touches, not just running
Speaker 2: the ball, pass receiving. But you get guys, if they
Speaker 2: know how to protect themselves, that's the key. I get
Speaker 2: you out in space. I don't want to run you
Speaker 2: off the middle. You're gonna be able to break off
Speaker 2: some of these for long touchdowns, so you're a home
Speaker 2: run hitter like Jeremiah Love is already getting paid a
Speaker 2: lot of money for the Arizona Cardinals. But what we're
Speaker 2: asking those running backs to do is basically everything. Be
Speaker 2: a wide receiver, be a running back, be a decoy,
Speaker 2: be able to block. And if I'm now, I was
Speaker 2: in on Saquon Barkley and the Giants taking him number
Speaker 2: two overall because I thought he would be the missing
Speaker 2: piece and help out Eli Manning at the end of
Speaker 2: his career.
Speaker 3: I was wrong.
Speaker 2: Saquan was a great player, or had the potential to
Speaker 2: be great. We just didn't see it until he went
Speaker 2: to Philadelphia. Jamiir Gibbs, b John Robinson. They're worth that money.
Speaker 2: And it probably probably started with Christian McCaffrey because we
Speaker 2: thought he was done before he went to San Francisco.
Speaker 2: It was like, I don't know how much longer he's
Speaker 2: going to be able to play and how much they
Speaker 2: used him. Well, he's still been banged up, but he's
Speaker 2: still been great. When it comes to Offensive Player of
Speaker 2: the Year, he's usually on the short list there and
Speaker 2: kind of created or recreated the impression of what a
Speaker 2: running back should be. Now I can go back to
Speaker 2: Ricky Waters or Marshall Falk, some of my favorite players,
Speaker 2: Roger Craig Ladanian, Tomlinson that they kind of created this
Speaker 2: hybrid right in front of us, and you know, putting
Speaker 2: even more pressure on defenses. Now you have to account
Speaker 2: for that guy. Yeah, and then if you had to
Speaker 2: have a great running back, I don't know if defense
Speaker 2: is Yeah.
Speaker 3: And if you look at Bijon Robinson Dan in his
Speaker 3: three years in the NFL, as you said he's had,
Speaker 3: I think he's got two hundred and sixty one to
Speaker 3: one hundred ninety eight catches in the NFL so far
Speaker 3: that make him the third leading receiver from his draft
Speaker 3: class at the running back position. He was first team
Speaker 3: All Pro last year twenty two and ninety eight yards,
Speaker 3: and same thing with Jamir Gibbs three years close to
Speaker 3: two thousand all purpose yards per year.
Speaker 7: Well, I feel like like the McCaffrey's and the Bejons
Speaker 7: of the world, can they command more money because of
Speaker 7: their pass catching out of the backfield.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're a full service running back that you never
Speaker 3: has to leave the field. A guy like remember a
Speaker 3: bunch of years ago, Leonard Fournette was taken high. He
Speaker 3: can't catch a hundred balls. He can't catch eighty balls.
Speaker 3: Very good running back, but probably not the all purpose
Speaker 3: running back of today.
Speaker 2: Well, we'll take a break. We'll be back after this
Speaker 2: Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan

Speaker 3: Back on The Dan Patrick Show. Polypaps Dylan Marvin Fritzie
Speaker 3: having at audio issues in Maine. We're gonna get that
Speaker 3: worked out with Dan real quick, Dylan, let's go to
Speaker 3: you and go back to the initial poll. And you
Speaker 3: have other poll options for us this morning.
Speaker 7: Yeah, well recap the first one, which is spending a
Speaker 7: lot on your running back? Is smart or not smart?
Speaker 7: We've got some early results, Paul, if you'd like smart
Speaker 7: and not smart, let's do it. Do you want to guess?
Speaker 3: Uh, sixty percent not smart?
Speaker 7: Pretty good? Sixty seven percent not smart.
Speaker 3: Well, if you look at the situation, like Dan said
Speaker 3: a couple of minutes ago, it's like the Falcons decided
Speaker 3: to go heavy in the running back position with Bijon.
Speaker 3: But it's that when you do it when your team
Speaker 3: is to play, not ready to play. And Bijon Robinson,
Speaker 3: they took him. He's a sure thing. He's twenty four
Speaker 3: years old. They're buying his prime. But then if you
Speaker 3: look at Jeremiah Love out in Arizona, they're going to
Speaker 3: spend fifty million on him, and do they have a
Speaker 3: team around him to maximize him.
Speaker 7: I think the very short answer is no. But I
Speaker 7: don't know. It's crazy to see like a running back
Speaker 7: draft for that high, like he's his initial contract is
Speaker 7: like an aspirational contract for a lot of running backs
Speaker 7: for their second deal.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's basically what Bijon's getting and Jamiir Gibbs will
Speaker 3: possibly get. But you look at the Cardinals when they
Speaker 3: drafted him, a lot of people are like, not the
Speaker 3: right team, the great player, not the right team.
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I think when it comes to players getting
Speaker 6: drafted at high you guys think of somebody like Ezekiel
Speaker 6: Elliott when he was drafted fourth overall. But the thing was,
Speaker 6: the Cowboys had an outstanding offensive line.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, they had a great offense line, Zach Martin and
Speaker 3: those guys, and he averaged I think fifteen hundred yards
Speaker 3: his first three years that go.
Speaker 4: I think he led the league in rushing.
Speaker 9: Yep.
Speaker 6: So you get your best years. And even when he
Speaker 6: was up for the extension, Dan said it like, do
Speaker 6: not extend him because you put so much wear and
Speaker 6: tear on his body the first four or five years
Speaker 6: of their careers.
Speaker 3: I called that with zek Elliott. All right, here's the
Speaker 3: other topic here. If you're a Liance fan, if you're
Speaker 3: Jamiir Gibbs agent, do you have to get a million
Speaker 3: dollars more than BEJN Robinson?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 7: Wasn't It was it Jamar Chase, who wanted one dollar
Speaker 7: more than Justin Jefferson. I think I think you can
Speaker 7: kind of the proof is in the pudding there where
Speaker 7: it's less about necessarily more money. It's just sort of
Speaker 7: the statement like all right, I am now the highest
Speaker 7: paid blank.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it does feel like it's more about the agent
Speaker 3: than the player, because if you're Jamiir Gibbs, hey we're
Speaker 3: getting fifty one and a half million dollars or fifty two.
Speaker 3: What's the difference. But the agent has to say face
Speaker 3: and get more than the last guy.
Speaker 6: And I think with the Falcons, they're putting money into
Speaker 6: their skilled position receivers. Now there's pressure on those guys
Speaker 6: to perform because last year, all season long, we called
Speaker 6: them probably the most frustrating team because they'd have a
Speaker 6: great showing one week and then a no show the
Speaker 6: next week. So now you're putting money into these guys,
Speaker 6: especially in a winn division like the NBC South. Come
Speaker 6: on now, because now you put money into these guys,
Speaker 6: let's start winning.
Speaker 3: But then you go back a couple of years ago
Speaker 3: with the Falcons, why take Pennix when you don't need
Speaker 3: Michael Pennox and that draft pick looks like it might
Speaker 3: not work out. They could have put another tool in there.
Speaker 7: I guess I would throw a question out to the
Speaker 7: room if you were, say, your Jamier Gibbs, in this
Speaker 7: upcoming contract situation, how important to you you, the player,
Speaker 7: would it be to get that extra million dollars on
Speaker 7: your contract?
Speaker 4: I think it'd be very important.
Speaker 5: I think that what happens all too often the agent
Speaker 5: is chirping in the player's ear, and like what Pouli
Speaker 5: was saying, maybe you're comfortable with getting a certain amount
Speaker 5: of money and that's plenty, and I'm good to go.
Speaker 5: But if you got an agent get talking you up
Speaker 5: like you can't. You got to get at least this
Speaker 5: much more than him. You are the best, and then
Speaker 5: all of a sudden that starts causing a complications between
Speaker 5: the player and the ownership.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just a recap. Bjon Robinson of the Falcons signs
Speaker 3: a new three year, seventy five million dollar contract. It's
Speaker 3: really about fifty million with guarantees, but makes him the
Speaker 3: highest paid running back of all time. And we are
Speaker 3: entering maybe a different era where it's gonna be there's
Speaker 3: gonna be star running backs to get star pay and
Speaker 3: then the interchangeable guys like I'll just get Isaiah Pacheco
Speaker 3: for a million five or guys that can rotate or
Speaker 3: take a guy in the fifth, sixth, and seventh round.
Speaker 6: Now, when it comes to running backs, you have to
Speaker 6: be a hybrid running bag. Derek Derek Henry is probably
Speaker 6: like the last of the Mohegans where it's like he's
Speaker 6: just a three yards in a cloud. It does type
Speaker 6: of running bag. But the rest of those guys you
Speaker 6: have to catch seventy to eighty balls a year in
Speaker 6: order to be considered one of those top guys to
Speaker 6: get paid that type of money.
Speaker 3: Right, And it's not like Derek Henry's not a great receiver,
Speaker 3: but when he gets it out there, if they could
Speaker 3: just dump him off to him and he's in space,
Speaker 3: he's facing a safety or a cornerback and they want
Speaker 3: no part of him.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So for the last three seasons of his entire career,
Speaker 7: Jamier Gibbs has called seventy seven, fifty two and fifty
Speaker 7: two balls each year. I mean, that's gonna go a
Speaker 7: long way in contract negotiations, I would think.
Speaker 3: But this does fly in the face of the most
Speaker 3: successful NFL teams. If you go back to peak Patriots
Speaker 3: Jonah Gray and Corey Dillon and rotate the running backs. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Rex burkehead Marvin just had nice reference there. But they
Speaker 3: would just rotate running backs season by season and never
Speaker 3: commit and pay to any of them.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Besides, was that the Corey Dillon years.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they paid him a little bit.
Speaker 4: They paid him a little bit.
Speaker 6: But the rest of those guys, there was a guy
Speaker 6: with a hyphen in his name, I don't even remember,
Speaker 6: guys like James White, Guys like that where the interchangeable
Speaker 6: parts and obviously the console was Tom Brady and even
Speaker 6: the receivers interchangeable parts. So you just kind of need
Speaker 6: you don't need like a real guy like that if
Speaker 6: you're one of those teams.
Speaker 3: And if you look at the Chiefs run the past
Speaker 3: six or seven years, they drafted isaiaha Checko seventh round
Speaker 3: out of Rutgers. They paid him four million dollars for
Speaker 3: four years of work. They basically got him for nothing.
Speaker 3: They want a couple couple super Bowls with him. Now
Speaker 3: they have Kenneth Walker the third. They're actually investing in
Speaker 3: the quarterback or the running back position because there's less
Speaker 3: help for the quarterback. Tyreek Hill is not there anymore.
Speaker 3: Travis Kelsey is Travis Kelce like he was five years ago.
Speaker 7: Well, and Kenneth Walker's kind of been what I would
Speaker 7: call sort of that the equivalent of the second tier
Speaker 7: quarterback money, where it's like he's getting like thirteen ish
Speaker 7: or something like that, which is sort of your Sam
Speaker 7: Darnold type deal in running back for him, which you
Speaker 7: can still like, you know, you can easily win with,
Speaker 7: you know, if you don't have the options to get
Speaker 7: sort of the cream of the crop guy.
Speaker 4: You know, it's funny.
Speaker 6: I thought Isaiah Pacheco was going to be the centerpiece
Speaker 6: of Hey, we don't have to pay running backs as
Speaker 6: much because we're winning super Bowls with a seventh round
Speaker 6: draft pick. Because to me, you can find a good
Speaker 6: five to ten, two hundred pounds running back that runs
Speaker 6: hard and that can get you a thousand yards every
Speaker 6: single season as long as you have a great quarterback
Speaker 6: with some great wide receivers. I thought that was going
Speaker 6: to be the shift, But you know, I'll proven wrong.
Speaker 3: And if you look at what the Los Angeles Rams
Speaker 3: are doing, they get Kyrien Williams out of Notre Dame
Speaker 3: he's having a very good career. He wasn't a top
Speaker 3: ten draft pick, he wasn't a first round raft pick,
Speaker 3: so they haven't really paid him yet. That's a quandary.
Speaker 3: He's been nothing but great, but they're gonna have to
Speaker 3: pay him someday or let him go and let him
Speaker 3: go to the next highest bidder and just replace him
Speaker 3: at the running back position.
Speaker 6: And the funny thing is about the Chiefs is we
Speaker 6: talked about him a couple of days ago. Clyde Edwards
Speaker 6: Hilaire was a first round draft pick and he didn't
Speaker 6: do what we expected him to do. We just thought
Speaker 6: the rich would get richer, But instead you get Isaiabhachecki,
Speaker 6: who was a seventh round draft pick.
Speaker 4: That comes up big for the Chiefs.
Speaker 6: And so the running back position, to me, you can
Speaker 6: find a serviceable running back anywhere in the draft.
Speaker 3: Well, that's what most teams do, at least historically, teams
Speaker 3: do in the fourth, fifth, sixth rounds. If you look
Speaker 3: at the Chicago Bears at the running back position last year,
Speaker 3: they had Kyle Manungai, also seventh round, also out of Rutgers,
Speaker 3: played really well for a rookie. They don't have to
Speaker 3: pay him. He's making like nine hundred thousand dollars a year.
Speaker 7: I would say, though, like an argument for the the
Speaker 7: Bijon's and the Jamir Gibbs of the world is it's
Speaker 7: like you can get these guys for twenty three million
Speaker 7: or or whatever, or you could pay your Jamar Chases
Speaker 7: and your jsns for north of forty million dollars. Where
Speaker 7: I feel like we've seen the running back and wide
Speaker 7: receiver position kind of start to meet in the middle
Speaker 7: a little bit again in terms of perceived value. So
Speaker 7: it's like you are still getting a relative deal for
Speaker 7: an offensive weapon maybe witho the longevity.
Speaker 3: And if you look at the market the past ten years,
Speaker 3: running backs about every other year or every third year,
Speaker 3: you get a special running back that's a top ten
Speaker 3: type pick Jeremiah Love last year, Bijon Robinson, Saquon Barkley.
Speaker 3: It doesn't happen often. It's a bit of an eclipse.
Speaker 7: Gent also, Yeah, which we're still kind of in a
Speaker 7: holding pattern, I would say on that, but again that
Speaker 7: goes back to situation. Yeah, you need the infrastructure there,
Speaker 7: like Hiaran Williams, like you said, Paul to the Rams,
Speaker 7: like ideal scenario.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they don't have to pay them. They got a
Speaker 3: great offense around them. If you go back to gent
Speaker 3: taken by the Raiders last year, Dan talked about this,
Speaker 3: and we talked about this in detail in the show.
Speaker 3: The Raiders weren't in position to take a running back
Speaker 3: in the top ten. They didn't have a good offensive line.
Speaker 3: I think PFF had their offensive line ranked twenty eighth
Speaker 3: last year. Genty got roughed up out of Boise State.
Speaker 3: He got rouffed up last year, and you kind of
Speaker 3: wasted his rookie year and people think, oh, he's not
Speaker 3: working out that well. You put him a position to
Speaker 3: not work out that well by not having an offensive
Speaker 3: line to start with, Like Marvin you said with Ezekiel Ellen,
Speaker 3: he walked in on scholarship.
Speaker 6: That's like when when Jeremiah Love was drafted by the Cardinals,
Speaker 6: the first thing you said was, oh, that's I feel
Speaker 6: terrible team. Yes, wrong team. If you put him anywhere
Speaker 6: else with the serviceable offensive line, you're looking at man
Speaker 6: fifteen hundred yards maybe, But now, unfortunately we might look
Speaker 6: at him like a bus because he didn't have the
Speaker 6: offensive infrastructure for a slow start.
Speaker 4: Correct.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, if you look at the Cardinals last year.
Speaker 3: That's maybe one of those cases where what if they
Speaker 3: traded down and took advantage of another team wanted to
Speaker 3: jump up for Jeremiah Love and surround your team build
Speaker 3: your team. That's one of the worst talent rosters in football,
Speaker 3: and they went with a running back when they don't
Speaker 3: have the talent to surround it. They do have Rogers us,
Speaker 3: they do a tight end, They have a decent defense,
Speaker 3: but offensive line not there.
Speaker 6: Now do you think the Jeremiah Love draft pick was
Speaker 6: let's pick the best player, but also let's get somebody
Speaker 6: to excite the fan base in Arizona, somebody who can
Speaker 6: be on the cover of your media guide going forward.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure that's a strategy of a team like that.
Speaker 3: That's not very relevant. Kyler Murray's gone. You don't have
Speaker 3: a star on the roster. Marvin Harrison junior has star
Speaker 3: power from college, but not star play. Trey McBride not
Speaker 3: a star. But that's where I hope it wasn't a
Speaker 3: marketing draft pick. Marketing draft picks rarely do they work out.
Speaker 5: You gotta get fans a reason to come out, I guess,
Speaker 5: and if you know you're gonna be bad for.
Speaker 4: The next couple of years. You might as well get
Speaker 4: someone that has some kind of name Breck.
Speaker 3: But if the marketing staff has to say, come out
Speaker 3: and watch Jeremiah Love run for three point six yards.
Speaker 4: Of aage, fortunate, that's unfortunate.
Speaker 3: All right, Just recap Dan Patrick show working on Dan's audio, Dylan, Marvin,
Speaker 3: Pauli and Fritzi here holding down the fort. A little
Speaker 3: good news. How about a little good news in college football?
Speaker 3: Notre Dame USC rivalry is back. Ish, Yeah, let's go.
Speaker 3: It's back in three years from Oh what a lot
Speaker 3: of barriers that one don't read the fide in print. Yeah,
Speaker 3: starting in twenty thirty, Notre Dame versus USC will be back.
Speaker 3: I think the first two years in this reincarnation will
Speaker 3: be week one, once in Notre Dame, once out at
Speaker 3: the coliseum. Then after that it will be somewhere in
Speaker 3: weeks one, two, and three.
Speaker 4: Your thoughts how far ahead do they go?
Speaker 5: I asked you this off air and when we had
Speaker 5: the pre show meeting, But can you explain, like, why
Speaker 5: does it take so long that this can't get started
Speaker 5: for three four years from now?
Speaker 3: Generally in college football, the athletic directors put together their
Speaker 3: out of conference schedules at least two years in advance.
Speaker 3: You can go on like Texas's website or Georgia's and
Speaker 3: see upcoming schedules, and a lot of it is out
Speaker 3: of conference games. So that gap with Notre Dame in
Speaker 3: USC is about they let it lapse. It's like the
Speaker 3: a lease on a car. You let it lapse, you
Speaker 3: got to restart it. They have to restart it, but
Speaker 3: it won't start till twenty thirty. But what really is
Speaker 3: bothersome is letting it lapse in the first place. That's
Speaker 3: really bothersome. It's a perfect rivalry. Notre Dame in their style,
Speaker 3: USC and their style clearly don't like each other. It's
Speaker 3: a national rivalry.
Speaker 7: Is there a reason that they let it lapse, like
Speaker 7: or was it purely just like, oh, we forgot to
Speaker 7: fill out some paperwork.
Speaker 4: Who's there exact who's your fault for that? I don't recall.
Speaker 4: I'm trying to remember stories like who's to blame?
Speaker 10: How?
Speaker 4: And is it's on both sides? Why would that happen?
Speaker 3: Ever, dyl And I like your idea that they didn't
Speaker 3: file the paperwork in time, like an injunction oh, the
Speaker 3: deadline was July first. We just didn't get it, Ducks.
Speaker 3: You know, there's a lot of finger pointing. When the
Speaker 3: dam Patrick Show was out at Notre Dame last year.
Speaker 3: We talked to Pete Vaqua Notre Dame and he seemed
Speaker 3: to point the fingers at USC for halting the rivalry.
Speaker 3: Usc AD said, oh, we wanted to keep it going.
Speaker 3: You don't really know who did. Notre Dame was pretty
Speaker 3: stringent that they didn't want to stop it. And it
Speaker 3: feels like when USC joined the Big Ten they were
Speaker 3: looking for no offense, a couple early season wins, not
Speaker 3: upping their schedule because they knew the Big Ten schedules.
Speaker 4: Tough, Paul, you took the words out of my mouth.
Speaker 6: That's the first thing I thought of, Like, man, we
Speaker 6: got to play Michigan, Ohio State, now Indiana where you
Speaker 6: have Michigan State, all these other teams in that way
Speaker 6: us he's on the schedule. Also, Man, we can't do
Speaker 6: all of this and play all these really good teams.
Speaker 6: So you know what, we might take a break, but
Speaker 6: I'm glad they're back when we're out there in Notre Dame.
Speaker 6: I mean, just the anticipation around that game was through
Speaker 6: the roof. And it's one of those rivalries where they're
Speaker 6: not close in proximity, but it's a tale as old
Speaker 6: as time. Like my entire life, it's been Notre Dame
Speaker 6: USC as a big time rival.
Speaker 3: It's Hollywood versus the Midwest. You've been to both of
Speaker 3: those campuses, Notre Dame and USC. They're polled their opposites,
Speaker 3: and the thing is, you're right USC when they answered
Speaker 3: the Big Ten said we have a tough conference schedule,
Speaker 3: tougher than you know, Peak PAC ten Pac twelve, And
Speaker 3: they say, you know what, we want to play Notre
Speaker 3: Dame week one or how about a nice San Jose
Speaker 3: State home game?
Speaker 5: Oh we ever gonna learn who was afraid to play whom?
Speaker 5: Because that says I would love for someone to step
Speaker 5: forward and go, no, they.
Speaker 4: Didn't want to play it US.
Speaker 3: No one's raising their hands for its on this one.
Speaker 7: I do think it's for it's advantageous for both of
Speaker 7: them to get it out of the way week one, though,
Speaker 7: because if you lose, you know, like if that game
Speaker 7: is played later in the season, you know it could
Speaker 7: be more of a stand out a little more in
Speaker 7: terms of the recency bias, and.
Speaker 6: The beauty for Notre Dame is it's a win win
Speaker 6: no matter what, because say, if you lose to Notre
Speaker 6: Dame in Week one, man, we played a really tough
Speaker 6: USC team to start the season.
Speaker 4: So I mean I like it, though, Dah, I hate
Speaker 4: that it's three years.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really silly as three years. When you saw
Speaker 3: the headline, like you said, Notre Dame versus USC is
Speaker 3: back in three years.
Speaker 4: That fine print got me. Yeah.
Speaker 3: The other thing about Notre Dame is they are so
Speaker 3: positioned to make the playoffs every year, even as is
Speaker 3: without playoff expansion. Notre Dame front loads their schedule. They
Speaker 3: play the really big teams like last year A and
Speaker 3: M in Miami. They could afford losses, not even multiple
Speaker 3: losses because the Playoffmitte looks as those as quality out
Speaker 3: of conference losses, which is a weird thing. But Notre Dame,
Speaker 3: the last seventy five percent of their schedule is more
Speaker 3: like Stanford, Navy, Boston College, generally winnable.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I think they end with QS this season.
Speaker 9: Two.
Speaker 7: That should be a wee.
Speaker 3: That's friendly.
Speaker 7: That's friendly. I mean they make the college football playoff.
Speaker 7: Notre Dame has overwhelmingly the best odds, so they're minus
Speaker 7: eight hundred in Ohio State and Indian or minus three fifties.
Speaker 7: So like, basically Vegas is telling you there's almost no
Speaker 7: scenario that Notre Dame doesn't at least make the playoff.
Speaker 3: So this year for Notre Dame, the Irish schedule twenty
Speaker 3: twenty six, neutral site versus Wisconsin week one, then some
Speaker 3: friendly weekends Rice, Michigan State, Purdue, North Carolina, Stanford and
Speaker 3: a very beatable Wisconsin yesh. So they finish the season
Speaker 3: Navy Miami, that's their tough one. If their quarterback CJ.
Speaker 3: Carr is going to win a Heisman, his chance will
Speaker 3: be pile up yards the week's leading up to that,
Speaker 3: and then take down Miami National TV, NBC and November seven.
Speaker 5: Can't they put something in place where like you got
Speaker 5: to play tougher teams late in the season. I understand
Speaker 5: the schools don't want to have a late loss because
Speaker 5: it's recency buyers and that could affect making the playoff
Speaker 5: altogether or where they're ranked or whatever where they're seated,
Speaker 5: But that's just so weak there, Like well d in
Speaker 5: the beginning of the season and then they'll forget about
Speaker 5: a bad early loss and then we'll just have the
Speaker 5: cupcakes take us the rest of the way.
Speaker 3: Well, Fritzi, you bring up the biggest problem with scheduling
Speaker 3: in college football. They want to avoid tough games in November.
Speaker 3: Besides those conference rivalries. If you're Ole, mess you're playing
Speaker 3: Misissippi State, if you're North Carolina South Carolina. But they
Speaker 3: want cupcakes to end the season, and a team like
Speaker 3: Notre Dame is going to finish the season with kind
Speaker 3: of traditional rivalries like Boston College, SMU and Syracuse. But
Speaker 3: if you look at the SEC over the years, you'd
Speaker 3: see Georgia versus Wafford on November tenth, eight Oh, you
Speaker 3: see Alabama versus Citadel no offense preface.
Speaker 4: As a fan, your conditioned to it. As a season
Speaker 4: comes to the an end.
Speaker 5: In any sport, that's when things really heat up, NFL, NBA,
Speaker 5: anything goes last games matter so much, and then to
Speaker 5: see it's really disappointing to see how college football is
Speaker 5: so different and they go the other way.
Speaker 6: I just had a quick question about Notre Dame Miami.
Speaker 6: I know their arrival is their rivalry as in tense
Speaker 6: as Notre Dame USC or was it just during the
Speaker 6: Catholics Versus Convicts era where it was that intense of
Speaker 6: a rivalry.
Speaker 3: That's a tough question. I grew up on Notre Dame
Speaker 3: and Notre Dame Miami became a kind of a new rivalry,
Speaker 3: like you said, in the eighties and nineties and went
Speaker 3: away for a while. Usc I feature feels way more
Speaker 3: old school. Michigan is very old school. But they have
Speaker 3: like a series of them, but they're all national, They're
Speaker 3: all distant rivalries like Notre Dame. Indiana would be a
Speaker 3: rivalry now because Indiana is good.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'll be curious to see if that one blossoms
Speaker 7: into something now, if Indiana can sort of maintain any
Speaker 7: sort of stature that it's gained.
Speaker 3: Well, one kicker in the story about Notre Dame versus
Speaker 3: usc is being back, It looks like Notre Dame versus
Speaker 3: IU is not going to be happening in the near future.
Speaker 3: That one is on the shelf. And could it be
Speaker 3: because IU is good now? The Hoosias are good. That's
Speaker 3: what people think nationally now.
Speaker 6: Is Notre Dame in the same position as Duke Is
Speaker 6: where they're a national brand because they're not tied to
Speaker 6: a city or state, like there's no city or state
Speaker 6: in the does that helped the brand.
Speaker 3: One hundred percent. Notre Dame was almost like omnipresence. They're
Speaker 3: like Kaiser SoSE. They're kind of in the Northwest Indiana
Speaker 3: area where I have friends who go, Hey, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: visit Chicago. Can we run over to see Notre Dame? Like, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's two hours away. It's not down the street, it's
Speaker 3: not in the South burbs of Chicago. Notre Dame is
Speaker 3: kind of an entity more than a place.
Speaker 7: That blew my mind that South Bend was in a
Speaker 7: different time zone than Chicago. I was like, wait.
Speaker 3: What, And that's really confusing because it's just over the border,
Speaker 3: I mean time zone wise.
Speaker 5: At the risk of sounding ignorant, can the ncaafay have
Speaker 5: no power at all to change this whole cupcakes thing
Speaker 5: late in the season and there's no one has any
Speaker 5: kind of power over these schools that all to say, hey,
Speaker 5: you got to play a few more tough teams lately.
Speaker 3: We're gonna break and take some calls a second, But
Speaker 3: Fritzy's point is that there is no NCAA scheduling zs are.
Speaker 3: You have all these conferences making their own schedules, and
Speaker 3: they work with in conjunction with ESPN, Fox Sports and
Speaker 3: other places. But they don't need approval. If Wisconsin wants to,
Speaker 3: if if Georgia wants to schedule the Citadel, there's no
Speaker 3: stopping them. If in the end of the NFL is
Speaker 3: a complete opposite. They have a complete scheduling office that
Speaker 3: builds storylines, that builds weeks and make sure there's no
Speaker 3: gaps in the schedule. If you wanted one thing that
Speaker 3: would up college football bigger than it already is if
Speaker 3: you had an NCAA scheduling office that worked with the
Speaker 3: teams and the schools and the networks, and you can
Speaker 3: make Notre Dame Texas week one. You can have usc
Speaker 3: U c L a earlier in the season and then
Speaker 3: maybe next year it's later in the season. You can
Speaker 3: ensure Texas always plays A and M. You can make
Speaker 3: sure Oklahoma always plays Texas on a certain date. Build
Speaker 3: more traditions back. You can't control people in and out
Speaker 3: of conferences, but you can control who plays who and
Speaker 3: when and avoid Ohio State opening the season versus Ball.
Speaker 4: Oh You got to make some calls we have.
Speaker 6: We have to.
Speaker 4: People in college football? Is this ridiculous? It's lasted this long.
Speaker 3: I wish we'd call Charlie Baker right Stick around Dan
Speaker 3: Patrick show. More to come after the break.
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk line up
Speaker 1: in the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports
Speaker 1: Radio dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR
Speaker 1: to listen live.
Speaker 7: We had a new one Pauli too. This is a
Speaker 7: bit of a left turn, but something Todd and I
Speaker 7: were talking about yesterday. Oh boy, No, don't worry, it's
Speaker 7: not bad.
Speaker 3: Just because Dan's out for a couple of minutes, Here
Speaker 3: comes Dan.
Speaker 7: How often do you replace your phone? Every time a
Speaker 7: new one comes out every couple of years, whenever it
Speaker 7: fully breaks or you.
Speaker 4: Don't know what.
Speaker 3: Just to give a little backstory on this, Fritzi was
Speaker 3: talking about his phone, which I think is six years
Speaker 3: old and says he never replaces it until he absolutely
Speaker 3: has to.
Speaker 5: It's in bad shape and I can't even charge it
Speaker 5: sometimes because I something with the prongs on the bottom
Speaker 5: of the phone. We have to wiggle it a certain
Speaker 5: way for it to charge. And sometimes the email comes in.
Speaker 5: Sometimes it goes to email. The clock is starting to
Speaker 5: like fade away. It's just a mess.
Speaker 3: Now, Fritzie. I don't know if you know much about
Speaker 3: these phone companies, but they want you to replace your phone,
Speaker 3: and they give you incentives.
Speaker 4: Does seem that way?
Speaker 5: I've seen the commercials were like, you know, bring in
Speaker 5: your old phone and they'll give you all kinds of
Speaker 5: presents and stuff.
Speaker 3: So you prefer yours to work spodily as opposed to
Speaker 3: walking in changing it over and walking.
Speaker 4: I'm such a creature of habit.
Speaker 5: I think I'm afraid, even with the cloud and everything,
Speaker 5: somehow I'm gonna get a new phone and things are
Speaker 5: gonna be missing where it's not gonna work the way
Speaker 5: the other phone did. The same thing happened to me
Speaker 5: with the BlackBerry, and that's why I'm like holding onto
Speaker 5: this thing. But this morning, as a matter of fact,
Speaker 5: I plugged it in and it's said, I've never seen
Speaker 5: this before. I don't know if you've guys ever had this.
Speaker 5: I think my phone is like an R X or
Speaker 5: an XR. I don't even think they call it by
Speaker 5: letter Z.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yours is probably triple AX.
Speaker 5: It said you're unable to use the phone right now.
Speaker 5: Try again in a minute, and I'm like, what is that.
Speaker 5: I've never seen a message like that.
Speaker 3: Because Todd quickly thank you Tod quickly based off that,
Speaker 3: Will you drive to the phone store today and get
Speaker 3: a replace?
Speaker 5: It will not be today, It might be a weekend
Speaker 5: thing or in the coming weeks. I keep putting it off,
Speaker 5: and it's just out of laziness and just a fear
Speaker 5: of that the next phone is somehow going to be
Speaker 5: uncomfortable to use.
Speaker 7: So the uh we're currently I believe on the iPhone
Speaker 7: seventeen that's the latest model Todd as the XR, which
Speaker 7: I believe would put that at around eight years old.
Speaker 7: At this point, I am a thirteen and mine is
Speaker 7: like really on death's door, So I can only imagine
Speaker 7: just does yours?
Speaker 9: Even?
Speaker 7: Can you make calls?
Speaker 5: I can make calls, but I noticed that somebody will
Speaker 5: go to my Gmail like an email and then but
Speaker 5: for it to get to my regular email, it'll take
Speaker 5: several minutes.
Speaker 4: It'll say, connecting door.
Speaker 3: And welcome back to the Dan Patchow Dyl and Margaret, Fritzy,
Speaker 3: Paul and pack pass holding it out down the fort
Speaker 3: coming up in a little bit. Albert Breer of the
Speaker 3: Monday Morning Quarterback to talk about all the camps, get
Speaker 3: his take on the running back market, and a regular
Speaker 3: guest on this show. We have him on every year.
Speaker 3: Mike Sando, senior NFL writer for The Athletic. He is
Speaker 3: a nuts and bolts guy, really sharp, really smart. He
Speaker 3: does a thing every year, his NFL quarterback tiers. And
Speaker 3: I purposely not looked at this and we won't spoil it,
Speaker 3: so Dan could do the seg with Mike Sando, But
Speaker 3: I just want to give you a little nugget. He
Speaker 3: has I think four or five different tiers of quarterback
Speaker 3: Tier one, two, three, four and five. Pretty obvious. Paul
Speaker 3: Tier three, Fritzy Tier three. Bo Nix is on tiers
Speaker 3: three year thoughts insulting.
Speaker 5: I've been seeing a number of things, not just this ranking,
Speaker 5: but for the past number of months looking into the
Speaker 5: upcoming season, and I think bo Nix is being disrespected.
Speaker 5: I don't know if it's because it's just, you know,
Speaker 5: he doesn't have the name valued that some of the
Speaker 5: other top quarterbacks have, that he's young, that they needed
Speaker 5: all these wild comebacks. You know, if he's so great,
Speaker 5: then why did they have to, you know, pull off
Speaker 5: all these last fourth quarter comebacks.
Speaker 4: They should have had a.
Speaker 5: Big lead early. Whatever the thinking is. I'm pissed off
Speaker 5: about that.
Speaker 3: Were easy, easy, I am.
Speaker 4: I'm upset.
Speaker 5: I don't know how you're there tier three. I also
Speaker 5: don't know why the Broncos have to visit the Chiefs
Speaker 5: week one after we had.
Speaker 3: The one See that's not an insult, no, but that's.
Speaker 4: Ridiculous that you should come to Denver. We were the
Speaker 4: one seat.
Speaker 3: I will say bo Nix does feel like it's a
Speaker 3: little bit of a slight after what he did with
Speaker 3: that team, overachieving and doing it in the playoffs and
Speaker 3: get in them really in position to make a run
Speaker 3: last year.
Speaker 5: I don't I don't appreciate it. And Dylan, we we
Speaker 5: talked about this too before. You like bo Nicks a
Speaker 5: little more than this so called pundens or experts.
Speaker 7: I would put him at at least seventeen Todd.
Speaker 4: That's not helping me at all. Seventeen has been barely
Speaker 4: at the bottom of tier two.
Speaker 7: I mean, the bigger crime is having Lamar Jackson in
Speaker 7: tier two. But yeah, we're doing Homer picks over here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just one more little tidbit on the Mike Sandal
Speaker 3: list they got Lamar Jackson's the leader. Would you rather
Speaker 3: be the number one in Tier two or the last
Speaker 3: one in Tier one?
Speaker 4: I'd rather be in Tier one or one. Absolutely.
Speaker 3: Let's take a few calls. Let's start with Oh here
Speaker 3: comes David and Ohio David, what do you have for
Speaker 3: us today?
Speaker 9: Hey?
Speaker 4: Looks up.
Speaker 10: Pauling could hold down the court. I had to comment
Speaker 10: about the had to comment about the calendar you guys
Speaker 10: are putting out. I think in February the page should
Speaker 10: just be a picture of the AT and T Stadium
Speaker 10: with the time that says close for business, Thank you.
Speaker 3: That's a running gag every week calls in with his
Speaker 3: Cowboys chat. Let's do one more call Fresh in Milwaukee, Fresh,
Speaker 3: what do you have for us?
Speaker 9: What?
Speaker 4: Guys?
Speaker 1: Man?
Speaker 9: I gotta say, you guys held it down so dope, man,
Speaker 9: that was really dope. I think VP should go do
Speaker 9: VP present the Dan Nix. But anyway, but he's thinking
Speaker 9: about them running backs and how you guys were talking
Speaker 9: to gout and be thinking if you were giving the
Speaker 9: keys to the franchise, would your first two picks be
Speaker 9: a great quarterback and a great left tackle or would
Speaker 9: it be a great running back, a great corner would
Speaker 9: your first speak.
Speaker 3: Dan next, So you're saying, if you're building a team
Speaker 3: from scratch right now in the NFL, what two positions,
Speaker 3: not players, would you take? I think you almost have
Speaker 3: to take quarterback off the board for this discussion. Otherwise
Speaker 3: I can't imagine someone taking another position player over, you know, whatever,
Speaker 3: be Jade and Daniels, Caleb Williams, whoever you love who's
Speaker 3: top tier, or Patrick Mahomes or or Matt Stafford he's older,
Speaker 3: but Joe Burrow. You almost have to take that off,
Speaker 3: don't you.
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 6: Without question, the most important position in all of sports,
Speaker 6: period is the quarterback. I'd probably go with a left
Speaker 6: tackle and edge rusher.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think a lot of people would agree. If
Speaker 3: you have an all pro left tackle and all pro
Speaker 3: edge rusher, you're pretty set at the two most important pains.
Speaker 7: Anyone disagree, Not that I'm disagreeing, but I would. If
Speaker 7: we're talking in the draft, I would just take the
Speaker 7: best player, almost not regardless of position. Obviously, I'd wait,
Speaker 7: maybe like your quarterback or whatever, and rusher into your alignement.
Speaker 3: You can make the case that the Cowboys did this
Speaker 3: year this year with Caleb Downs. Safety is usually not
Speaker 3: a top ten position with the draft, but they look
Speaker 3: at Caleb Downs as a no question mark guy, a
Speaker 3: guy who's starting week one, hopefully starting your ten.
Speaker 4: I think I'm taking an rusher and a great wide receiver.
Speaker 5: I know you want to have the protection of the quarterback,
Speaker 5: but if you just stay in shotgrun and then you'll
Speaker 5: have a couple extra seconds to get the receiver open
Speaker 5: and get it to the receiver.
Speaker 6: But you know what's crazy about the wide receiver. Besides
Speaker 6: JSN this past year, you don't need an all world
Speaker 6: wide receiver to win Super Bowls.
Speaker 3: It seems like you could find a T. Higgins who's
Speaker 3: a B plus or someone like that, who if you
Speaker 3: don't have an A you could coddle together a wide
Speaker 3: receiver room right, as long as you have a really
Speaker 3: good core like you should be all said. Then you
Speaker 3: look at a like peak DeVante Adams with Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3: Those two are such a match that you know you
Speaker 3: may pick the wide receiver, like Fritzy said.
Speaker 7: I mean, and even last year, you know Jayson Offensive
Speaker 7: Player of the Year Jon Robinson had five hundred more
Speaker 7: yards from scrimmage than Jayson did. Receiving yards. I know
Speaker 7: that's not apples to apples, but if you're talking about
Speaker 7: total production, and.
Speaker 6: How frustrating is it if you're an Atlanta Falcons fan
Speaker 6: where you can't win the NFC.
Speaker 3: South, can't not camp? Can't they haven't they simply won't
Speaker 3: not camp for this coming season. I coming up a
Speaker 3: little bit, Dan, we'll be back with us. We'll talk
Speaker 3: to Albert Breer of the Monday Morning Quarterback and Mike
Speaker 3: Sando from the Athletic with his quarterback Tierless. Sure to
Speaker 3: upset you. Stick around, Dylan, Marvin, Fritzy Pauli holding down
Speaker 3: the Fort or Dan Patch show after this
