Speaker 2: the Day is always brought to you by Panini America,
Speaker 2: the official trading cards of The Dan Patrick Show. Thursday
Speaker 2: night football is back NFL preseason Panthers against the Cardinals.
Speaker 2: You throw out the records when those two get together.
Speaker 2: It's the Hall of Fame Game Thursday on NBC and Peacock,
Speaker 2: which is where you can find this program if you'd
Speaker 2: like to watch. I like to watch what was that
Speaker 2: Chauncey Gardner. It was Peter Sellers in the movie Being There.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, great great movie, great movie. And he is
Speaker 2: brilliant in that movie. But at one point he says,
Speaker 2: I like to watch Yes, Todd, I like to watch two. Actually,
Speaker 2: I know you do.
Speaker 3: I'm sure I'm a little bit of a way you're heard.
Speaker 4: That's okay.
Speaker 2: Eight seven seven three DP Show Operator Tyler sitting by.
Speaker 2: He'll take your phone calls.
Speaker 5: Yes, Paul, the promo for the Hall of Fame game
Speaker 5: should be we're starting the season with Panthers Cardinals. We're
Speaker 5: not ending the season with Panthers Cardinals.
Speaker 2: Yes, uh, well, the Panthers are a playoff to you.
Speaker 2: All right? Pull question from our one. You want to
Speaker 2: recap that, Dylan, and then we'll set sail into hour two.
Speaker 6: Yeah, We've we've got two up there from our one.
Speaker 6: Spending a lot on your running back? Is smart or
Speaker 6: not smart? Sixty seven percent say not smart? And how
Speaker 6: often do you replace your phone? Every new model? Every
Speaker 6: couple of years? Almost never, only if mine breaks? Forty
Speaker 6: six percent say just every couple of years.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't even think about it until somebody says, man,
Speaker 2: how old is that? And I go, I don't know
Speaker 2: how old is that? Like a seven or eight? I go,
Speaker 2: I have no idea. But if you call and I
Speaker 2: pick up, then I'll it still works. You know. Maybe
Speaker 2: maybe the camera isn't as you know, high quality as
Speaker 2: the previous ones, but I'm not sure. Bells and whistles,
Speaker 2: but yeah, that's the only time I changed my phone
Speaker 2: when somebody kind of forces me to shames me into it. Yes, Dylan.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I remember when the first iPhone came out that
Speaker 6: had the three cameras on the back. You didn't want
Speaker 6: to get caught dead with the single camera on the back.
Speaker 2: And let me check with my I think I have
Speaker 2: two cameras. I have two also, yeah, rough, uh oh, Marvin,
Speaker 2: you got three after three? Okay, Paul.
Speaker 5: I'm going to admit something right now before you guys
Speaker 5: call me out. I've never had an iPhone. I have
Speaker 5: a non iPhone, and I've had this brand of phone
Speaker 5: for at least twenty years. The other day, I was
Speaker 5: in the car with my daughter and her teenage friends
Speaker 5: and they were asking about something. I had to hold
Speaker 5: up my phone to show them. They went when they
Speaker 5: saw my non iPhone, you thought I had a rash
Speaker 5: on my arm, Like damn. I thought I was the
Speaker 5: cool dad, the sports dad. They're like, oh, mister, paps,
Speaker 5: it's not an iPhone.
Speaker 2: And Bob Costas had a flip phone for years and years.
Speaker 2: And Andrew Luck had a flip phone for years and years.
Speaker 2: So Albert Brier, the Monday Morning quarterback, he was at
Speaker 2: the Rams camp Chargers camp. He'll join us coming up
Speaker 2: a little bit. Mike Sando senior NFL writer at the Athletic.
Speaker 2: He's got a new list out of quarterbacks. You know,
Speaker 2: I love me a good list, So we'll talk to
Speaker 2: him about what went into compiling that list. B Jean
Speaker 2: Robinson the highest paid running back in the NFL, at
Speaker 2: least for the time being until Jamiir Gibbs signs his
Speaker 2: contract whenever that is. We mentioned last hour. Notre Dame
Speaker 2: usc back in twenty thirty. This is what I love
Speaker 2: about this though, that you can schedule a couple of
Speaker 2: tough games. If you're going to go to a sixteen
Speaker 2: game schedule, sixteen playoffs schedule, you can lose a game
Speaker 2: or two. And Notre Dame nearly got into the playoffs
Speaker 2: last year. They lost to A and M and they
Speaker 2: lost to Miami. But had that been that sixteen team playoff,
Speaker 2: they would have made it. And I want to encourage
Speaker 2: or hopefully they go. They're able to encourage teams to
Speaker 2: schedule some tougher teams to start the year because if
Speaker 2: Notre Dame lost to A and M and Miami at
Speaker 2: the end of the year, they wouldn't have had any
Speaker 2: chance getting into the playoffs. But they lost to those
Speaker 2: two teams close games. Beginning of the year. They start
Speaker 2: out zero to two, and their schedule is never going
Speaker 2: to be difficult because you're going to bring in what
Speaker 2: two or three quality opponents it feels like, and then
Speaker 2: you hand pick everybody else.
Speaker 4: Yes, Marvin, when they expand the playoffs to twenty four teams,
Speaker 4: how many quote unquote good losses can a big time
Speaker 4: team afford to have?
Speaker 2: Well, I think you're going to afford to have two.
Speaker 2: But I also think it's when you lose those games.
Speaker 2: I think that's really important.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Pably, what hurts Notre Dame year in and year out. Weirdly,
Speaker 5: even though they generally are going to make the playoffs,
Speaker 5: their schedule the back half of the season, they don't
Speaker 5: have a killer national TV heavyweight on their schedule. You
Speaker 5: go last year they had Boston College, Navy, Pitt, Syracuse, Stanford.
Speaker 5: None of those games helped them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and also you have CJ. Carr, who might be
Speaker 2: the favorite for the Heisman. He'll lose out on that
Speaker 2: great game at the end of the year. Because we
Speaker 2: usually focus in on one game where somebody can win
Speaker 2: the Heisman or lose the Heisman late in the year.
Speaker 2: But you know, if you're looking for a big game.
Speaker 2: What do they have something early November?
Speaker 5: Paul, Yeah, they Notre Dame hosts Miami on NBC November seventh.
Speaker 5: That could be a Heisman game.
Speaker 2: Yes, that might help out with Cjkarr. This second hour
Speaker 2: brought to you by chat gpt. They have a new
Speaker 2: agent for larger projects, chat gpt work. You give it
Speaker 2: a goal. You help turn scattered materials into finished work.
Speaker 2: You get started at chatgpt dot com by selecting work
Speaker 2: mode available on plus and pro plans. What's the poll
Speaker 2: question for hour or two? Dylan? Or did I miss that?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 6: We got a smattering from Todd.
Speaker 2: If you're interested, sure, smatter me away.
Speaker 6: Notre Dame in USC renewing their rivalry dot dot dot
Speaker 6: doesn't excite me all that much?
Speaker 3: Or is so awesome?
Speaker 6: I can't wait until twenty thirty.
Speaker 2: Well, you have to wait, whether you want to or not.
Speaker 2: We don't have many rivalries and I want to hold
Speaker 2: on to the ones we have and Notre Dame USC
Speaker 2: I get while USC is like, look, we play a
Speaker 2: big ten schedule. You know we don't want to add
Speaker 2: another quality opponent to this. But if we're expanding the playoffs,
Speaker 2: and they go to twenty four. There's no excuses now
Speaker 2: for not having that. You know that, you know Texas
Speaker 2: and Ohio State. That was awesome. I mean it wasn't
Speaker 2: necessarily a great game, but still you get two really
Speaker 2: good teams to start the year instead of we scheduled
Speaker 2: the Citadel and you go, okay, yes, Poe.
Speaker 5: If you look at USC this year, they don't have
Speaker 5: a big early September game to boost them up. They've
Speaker 5: got San Jose State, Fresno State, Louisiana, not LSU, Louisiana,
Speaker 5: no offense, Ragingcaguns, and Rutgers. Those are the that's their.
Speaker 2: September Oh I sit corrected DraftKings has the oh no,
Speaker 2: this is the number one pick in the draft odds
Speaker 2: I got I didn't get the Heisman odds. Arch Manning
Speaker 2: is one, Dante Moore is two, CJ. Carrs three, and
Speaker 2: then dips down to Jeremiah Smith, Leonoris Sellers, Darien Mensa
Speaker 2: Julian saying, uh so, all right, there's a lot of
Speaker 2: names in this draft coming up. I mean, this should
Speaker 2: be we say it every year, but this should be
Speaker 2: one of those. Wow, you got a couple of franchise quarterback. No,
Speaker 2: we do, but yeah, I'm already hyping the draft, yes, Marmon.
Speaker 4: And there's a guy that's going to be in the
Speaker 4: top ten that we've never heard of right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's usually somebody who climbs. And then this is
Speaker 2: where we say, oh, CJ. Carrs the third best odds,
Speaker 2: and then if he happens to fall out of the
Speaker 2: top ten, then we blame CJ. Carr, not us, because
Speaker 2: we put him in there with the third best odds
Speaker 2: to be the number one pick in the draft. Yes, Dylan,
Speaker 2: we sort of.
Speaker 6: Did this yesterday with the Dodgers versus the field. Would
Speaker 6: you take Arch Manning versus the field to go number
Speaker 6: one overall?
Speaker 2: I'll say I'll take the field, Yeah, pullint.
Speaker 5: I went back and looked. I found two different legitimate
Speaker 5: mock drafts from a year ago.
Speaker 3: Today.
Speaker 5: Amongst the players in the top ten of the mock draft,
Speaker 5: quarterback Leonora Sellers of South Carolina Drew Aller of Penn State.
Speaker 5: Sellers went back to college and Drew Aller was a
Speaker 5: late pick late in the draft pick Cad Klubnik was
Speaker 5: a top ten pick out of Clemson a year ago.
Speaker 5: It changes the draft board.
Speaker 2: Well also, and we're talking about quarterbacks and it feels like,
Speaker 2: you know, this year's flavor won't be next year's flavor,
Speaker 2: and vice versa. That we get on that hype train
Speaker 2: and you watch somebody and you go, oh wow. I
Speaker 2: think it was Kirk Krbstreet who was telling me about
Speaker 2: c J. Carr. I know Brady Quinn. Brady Quinn's like,
Speaker 2: he's the best quarterback last year, and I go, all right,
Speaker 2: I praise and he'll be up there. I think he
Speaker 2: has the best odds for the Heisman. They could go undefeated,
Speaker 2: which would pave the way, I'm sure for him to
Speaker 2: win the Heisman Trophy. Alrighty eight seven to seven to three,
Speaker 2: DP show email address dpat Danpatrick dot com, Twitter handle
Speaker 2: at tp show. The running back market Bijan at twenty
Speaker 2: two point two, Saquon at twenty point six, McCaffrey at
Speaker 2: nineteen million. I remember when Alvin Kamaras signed his deal
Speaker 2: and I think incentives or signing bonus, it was like
Speaker 2: fifteen million. So he's at twelve point two. Jeremiah Love
Speaker 2: hasn't played it down. He's the ninth highest paid running back.
Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor he might be a Bargain at fourteen million
Speaker 2: dollars when you consider what he does. Kenneth Walker getting
Speaker 2: paid leaving Seattle to go to the Chiefs Derrick Henry
Speaker 2: at fifteen million, Breece Hall got paid and that surprised me.
Speaker 2: I think he's a really good running back. I don't
Speaker 2: know if he should be the fifth highest paid running
Speaker 2: back at fifteen point two, Debon Hn at sixteen million,
Speaker 2: but Jamiir Gibbs is up next. I don't know how
Speaker 2: important it is for him to be the highest paid
Speaker 2: running back, but he's probably going to be. Benny and Wisconsin. Hi, Benny,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind today?
Speaker 9: Well, the I'm going to change topics here a little bit.
Speaker 9: And first I want to give kudos to the boys
Speaker 9: for holding it down while you were off air. But
Speaker 9: by the way, people on hold can hear everything you
Speaker 9: guys were doing in between and while we were I
Speaker 9: was kind of expecting a little more chaos. You guys
Speaker 9: did a great job. Marvin, great job with that dude,
Speaker 9: Whites and Fritzy, Yeah, weird rating, Spike. The Brewers not
Speaker 9: getting there school is what I really wanted to talk
Speaker 9: to you about. Their dan okay, and it's being reported
Speaker 9: here in Wisconsin on the radio that the Tigers weren't
Speaker 9: even really listening or taking the Burrs offers seriously because
Speaker 9: everybody knew he was going.
Speaker 10: To the Dodgers.
Speaker 9: And why wouldn't you Why wouldn't you want to go
Speaker 9: to the Dodgers, Dan, I mean, you're almost guaranteed the
Speaker 9: World Series. And this is my problem with baseball now
Speaker 9: and has been for quite some time, honestly, as a
Speaker 9: small market team rooting for, you know, my Brewers against
Speaker 9: the big goliath, it just seems to me that you're
Speaker 9: only going to have one or two choices throot for
Speaker 9: in the major leagues. And I don't think anybody is
Speaker 9: really happy with having to choose between one or two things,
Speaker 9: you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know there's a disparity here, But if did
Speaker 2: the Brewers at least try to make an offer, That's
Speaker 2: what I'd be curious about. Because it's a good team,
Speaker 2: third best odds to win the World Series. I just
Speaker 2: got to make sure that I at least do my
Speaker 2: damn just to teach take Trek Scuble out of the Dodgers'
Speaker 2: rotation here so I can help our team and I
Speaker 2: can hurt the Dodgers a little bit. Maybe they didn't
Speaker 2: want to fork over some of their prospects, maybe they
Speaker 2: didn't have something that caught Detroit's attention. But I don't know.
Speaker 2: I know Trek Scubel wanted to go to the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: But if you give Detroit a better deal than the Dodgers,
Speaker 2: then they should be holding to Milwaukee. Yes, PAULI yeah.
Speaker 5: I was reading a few columns with Milwaukee newspapers and
Speaker 5: they echoed the same thing you're saying.
Speaker 3: Dan.
Speaker 5: It's like, I think the last time the Brewers were
Speaker 5: in the World Series was eighty two. And what's the downside?
Speaker 5: You lose a couple of minor league guys. You're on
Speaker 5: this run. The Brewers have made the postseason seven of
Speaker 5: the past nine years. They're really good franchise, They're consistent,
Speaker 5: but you just got to pick off that one World
Speaker 5: Series and Dodgers are playing for three, You're playing for one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is a glass ceiling. It feels like
Speaker 2: like this is as good as we can get given
Speaker 2: the payroll constraints, small market, but you know, sometimes you
Speaker 2: got to swing for the fences. It feels like if
Speaker 2: I'm the Rays, I know I can't keep Trek scouble,
Speaker 2: but I can. I can win the American League. I
Speaker 2: gotta deal with the Yankees. I can win the American League.
Speaker 2: I can go to the World Series. I don't know
Speaker 2: how important that is. And you know, with they're moving
Speaker 2: into a new stadium, I don't know. Maybe if you
Speaker 2: win a World Series, somebody says, you know what, I'm
Speaker 2: going to stay. I don't know if they can spend
Speaker 2: that money. I mean, school bl is gonna get you know,
Speaker 2: a couple one hundred million dollars here. Yes, Marvin, they.
Speaker 4: Could be like the Marlins when they won the World Series, like, hey,
Speaker 4: let's just get rid of everybody as soon as we win.
Speaker 2: I know they did that twice. It's like like five
Speaker 2: years they had a rebuilding and then they won, and
Speaker 2: then they needed to rebuild again. Yes, Marvin, I don't think.
Speaker 4: The Marlins have won the NL East, but they have
Speaker 4: two World Series titles.
Speaker 2: Ridiculous. Yes.
Speaker 5: Well, in the first twenty five years of the then
Speaker 5: Florida Marlins then Miami Marlins from ninety three to twenty nineteen,
Speaker 5: they made the playoffs twice. Both times they won the
Speaker 5: World Series. They never made the playoffs again.
Speaker 3: I like it all or nothing.
Speaker 2: The day, yeahda the day day? Here it comes that
Speaker 2: What Why? Brought to you by Pennini America. I mentioned
Speaker 2: this in the first hour that we have a calendar
Speaker 2: that we put out once a year and we want
Speaker 2: you to be involved in this. It's high school yearbook
Speaker 2: photos and if you would like to send in your best, worst,
Speaker 2: or most awkward yearbook photo. Marvin, do you have the
Speaker 2: email address? Since we screwed that up in the first
Speaker 2: hour Mario gave me the email address and it turned
Speaker 2: out it was incorrect.
Speaker 4: Well, I don't want to put it on him, but
Speaker 4: DP calendar twenty twenty seven at gmail dot com.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's on Mario because yesterday I'm talking to him
Speaker 2: and he said, I'm going to have the address for you.
Speaker 2: I'll get it for you, all right. I'm the Eyes
Speaker 2: and Ears of the show, and I go, okay, yeah, Paul.
Speaker 5: I like to split the difference. Here as a light
Speaker 5: punishment to Mario, we get to see his team your
Speaker 5: year high school photo.
Speaker 3: There you go, promsela.
Speaker 2: DP calendar twenty twenty seven at gmail dot com. Marvin, Okay,
Speaker 2: you send us your best, worst, most awkward yearbook picture
Speaker 2: and we'll try to include that. We have the entire
Speaker 2: month of December we're going to dedicate to our listeners.
Speaker 4: Yes, Tod, does Mary really refer to himself as the
Speaker 4: eyes and ears of the show.
Speaker 3: That would be very disheartening if you actually said that
Speaker 3: to you.
Speaker 2: He does. People are hard to think. As the director,
Speaker 2: he should be the eyes and ears of the show.
Speaker 3: But you can't verbalize it like that and call yourself that.
Speaker 2: Well, you call yourself the best booker in the business.
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's an off air kind of thing,
Speaker 3: I would stop you trying to shake it off.
Speaker 2: Sag sound braggadocia. Albert Breer, the Monday Morning Quarterback, will
Speaker 2: join us. Does he think Aaron Donald is coming back?
Speaker 2: And is this the we finally see justin Herbert take
Speaker 2: that jump upwards. We're back after this in The Dan
Speaker 2: Patrick Show.

Speaker 2: Broncos yesterday, he's at the Chiefs. Today, Texans Lines, Bengals, Colts, Bears, Packers, Vikings, Browns, Bills.
Speaker 2: He's Albert Breer, very very busy man. Thanks for joining us.
Speaker 2: Let me start with the headline. Aaron Donald, the possibility
Speaker 2: of him coming back, the general sense that you got
Speaker 2: when you were with the Rams was what.
Speaker 12: I think he's coming back, and I think he will
Speaker 12: play the full season. I would say it's unlikely that
Speaker 12: happens before they leave Royal and Marormount, where they're having
Speaker 12: their training camp. I believe they leave there on Friday,
Speaker 12: and I think after that everything's in play when they
Speaker 12: get back to their home facility. And look, they've discussed this.
Speaker 12: You know, Sean McVay and Aaron Donald are very very close,
Speaker 12: and they already have the framework of a plan laid
Speaker 12: out for what this is going to look like.
Speaker 3: And how they're going to handle it.
Speaker 12: And I think one thing that helps, in a weird
Speaker 12: roundabout way is the fact that he held out in
Speaker 12: twenty and seventeen. In twenty eighteen, those are Sean mcvay's
Speaker 12: first two years in LA and in both of those
Speaker 12: years they had to be creative and ramping them up
Speaker 12: and getting getting them ready to play the season. And
Speaker 12: in both those years, Aaron Donald was the defensive player
Speaker 12: of the year, and the second of those years they
Speaker 12: went to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3: So they have an idea of how to do this.
Speaker 12: And you know, I think the other thing that really
Speaker 12: helps is the depth they have at that position, Like
Speaker 12: they don't need to play him sixty plays a game.
Speaker 3: They can use him creatively.
Speaker 12: And they liked the you know, the Kobe Turners, the
Speaker 12: Braden Fisks, the Punafords, the Tyler Davis's. This is a
Speaker 12: situation where they can really use him in a way
Speaker 12: that's gonna, I think, put them in position to be
Speaker 12: at his best when it matters most.
Speaker 2: You remember the last time a team was hyped this
Speaker 2: much preseason, and the team that wasn't the defending Super
Speaker 2: Bowl champ.
Speaker 12: The Rams in two thousand and twenty one, maybe when
Speaker 12: they traded for Stafford.
Speaker 3: It's sort of similar to that.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, I like I remember being on the
Speaker 12: ground floor for the dreamed team Eagles coming out of
Speaker 12: the lockout and what that was like and all the
Speaker 12: hut because if you remember, like that year, free agency
Speaker 12: happened at the start of training camp and so when
Speaker 12: they signed not the awesome Law to a team that had,
Speaker 12: like Michael Vick was coming off of a fantastic year,
Speaker 12: and obviously that went the wrong way, But like there's
Speaker 12: a ton of hype around that team.
Speaker 3: You see this, I mean, I don't.
Speaker 12: I don't think this is like an outsized amount of hype, you.
Speaker 3: Know, but it isn't every year that you see a
Speaker 3: team in a position like this.
Speaker 2: We had Bjean Robinson, he signed his contract. Jamiir Gibbs
Speaker 2: now in the on deck circle, what's your philosophy of,
Speaker 2: you know, re signing a first round pick at that position.
Speaker 12: I actually think Dan, it's gotten to the point where
Speaker 12: running back has been devalued like so much that it's
Speaker 12: becoming a value to sign one. And I remember this
Speaker 12: two years ago, right the off season in twenty twenty four,
Speaker 12: And if you remember that that year, Saquon Barkley, Derrick Henry,
Speaker 12: and Josh Jacobs were all free agents, and the Eagles,
Speaker 12: the Ravens.
Speaker 3: And the Packers signed those three guys.
Speaker 12: And I remember thinking to myself that in the moment
Speaker 12: when that was happening, like those aren't stupid teams, you
Speaker 12: know what I mean, Like, those aren't teams that are
Speaker 12: going and doing dumb things in March and winning the offseason.
Speaker 12: And you know, the more you talk to people in
Speaker 12: those organizations, you realize, like the way smart teams are
Speaker 12: starting to look at it is, here's a guy I'm
Speaker 12: going to give the ball to fifteen twenty twenty five
Speaker 12: times a game. That's way more than the receivers getting
Speaker 12: the ball. He's going to contribute to both the run
Speaker 12: game in the past game in a really significant way.
Speaker 12: And if I have like a bad year at the
Speaker 12: end of the contract, like is, if that's the cost,
Speaker 12: that's almost nothing. Saquon Barkley that offseason got like the
Speaker 12: equivalent of.
Speaker 3: What Darnell Mooney got.
Speaker 12: No way to think about that, like that was the
Speaker 12: comparable contract third receivers are getting. We're getting sixteen million
Speaker 12: dollars a year and that's you know, like more than
Speaker 12: those guys got that offseason. So I mean it's starting
Speaker 12: to correct itself a little bit. But I mean I'm
Speaker 12: in Chiefs camp right now. It's part of the reason
Speaker 12: why they go and sign Kenneth Walker's relative peanuts when
Speaker 12: you compare to compared to what guys are making at
Speaker 12: other positions. So, you know, I think it went from
Speaker 12: like it's not smart to sign a running back with
Speaker 12: a lot of mileage, you know, in year four, year five,
Speaker 12: to a contract at the top of the market, to
Speaker 12: now it's at the top of the market. Is a
Speaker 12: fraction of what it is at other positions. So what
Speaker 12: are we even talking about.
Speaker 2: He's Albert Breer, the Monday Morning quarterback senior NFL reporter.
Speaker 2: He's at the Chiefs today. Speaking of which, with Mahomes
Speaker 2: coming back from surgery, you bring in Kenneth Walker, the
Speaker 2: Chiefs offensive philosophy changing because of maybe Mahomes not running
Speaker 2: as much as he normally would.
Speaker 12: Yeah, new coordinator too, you know, So I mean Andy's
Speaker 12: obviously still running the offense, but you do go from
Speaker 12: Matt Naggie back to Eric the enemy. I do think
Speaker 12: there's gonna be more of a commitment to the run game.
Speaker 12: I think there's gonna be a little bit of a
Speaker 12: shift playing under center a little bit more with Kenneth
Speaker 12: Walker here, And you know, I think that that's going
Speaker 12: to serve a couple of purposes. Number One, you know,
Speaker 12: I think it's going to help Mahomes as he comes
Speaker 12: back from the knee, because there's always an adjustment. He's
Speaker 12: looked great, he hasn't missed anything. He's been out here
Speaker 12: every day, you know. But I think it's also going
Speaker 12: to unlock some things in the passing game for them.
Speaker 12: And so I do think that the Chiefs offense is
Speaker 12: going to look a little bit different.
Speaker 3: And you know, I think, you know, a guy like
Speaker 3: Walker can.
Speaker 12: Unlock a lot of different things for them, and he
Speaker 12: was such an important part of what the Seahawks did,
Speaker 12: so so yeah, you know.
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 12: They are going to have a little bit of a
Speaker 12: different look on offense versus they've had the last couple
Speaker 12: of years.
Speaker 2: Is this the year justin Herbert Back's like maybe a
Speaker 2: top five quarterback?
Speaker 12: There are so many things in place there, Dan, I mean,
Speaker 12: I think, you know, you look at it now, and
Speaker 12: I'm not sure he got enough credit for last year,
Speaker 12: by the way, like they won eleven games despite losing
Speaker 12: Joe Alt and Rashaun Slater. Not only that, they were
Speaker 12: at one point down to like their fifth and six tackles,
Speaker 12: and that's the foundation of their identity, That's what their
Speaker 12: investment was was in that offensive line. And so I
Speaker 12: think to be able to win eleven games, now you've
Speaker 12: got all back, now you've got Slater back. They expect
Speaker 12: their young receivers Lad McConkie, Trey Harris to come along,
Speaker 12: Omari and Hampton, the rookie running back from last year is.
Speaker 3: Back for his second year and healthy again.
Speaker 12: It just feels like if they can stay healthy, there's
Speaker 12: a lot of things set up for Justin Herbert to
Speaker 12: have a really big year. And I think a huge
Speaker 12: part of the equation is Mike McDaniel and what he's
Speaker 12: going to be able to do. Mike McDaniels never had
Speaker 12: a quarterback like this, you know, and we've seen creatively
Speaker 12: what he's been able to do over the years. He
Speaker 12: was obviously, you know, you know, part of those San
Speaker 12: Francisco teams that built around Jimmy Garoppolo, and they got
Speaker 12: the most out of Tua and went to the playoffs
Speaker 12: with Tua.
Speaker 3: You know in Miami. You know, now you're giving him
Speaker 3: a guy who you know.
Speaker 12: Forces you to defend every play the grass in the
Speaker 12: field and has the mind to manipulate everything in between.
Speaker 3: I know Mike is super excited to work with Justin Herbert.
Speaker 2: I don't want to jump on a hype train, but
Speaker 2: I do love what the Cowboys have on offense, and
Speaker 2: it comes down to just how good they are on defense.
Speaker 2: And I thought, if they come close to the offensive numbers, yeah,
Speaker 2: I just need a top fifteen defense. It feels like
Speaker 2: for this team to be an actual, true contender. What
Speaker 2: did you feel or take away when you visited the Cowboys?
Speaker 12: They view themselves as almost the reverse Texans, if that
Speaker 12: makes sense, you know what I mean? Like, if the
Speaker 12: Texas could just be pretty good on offense, they'll be
Speaker 12: unbelievable of the team because of their defenses is off
Speaker 12: the charts, and they really think they have a chance
Speaker 12: to have the best offensive football And they have to
Speaker 12: answer the left tackle question. But those two receivers are
Speaker 12: too legitimate number one guys. You know, like they they
Speaker 12: feel good about the makeup of their team. A young
Speaker 12: running back, they have Jaden Blue out of Texas going
Speaker 12: in the second year is going to be a factor.
Speaker 12: And they look at themselves defensively as we can't have
Speaker 12: a lot of injuries. But for Shaun Gary, Donovan Zeraku,
Speaker 12: Kenny Clark, Quinn Williams, they're the way that they see
Speaker 12: it and that the youngs that the young safety they
Speaker 12: bring in, Caleb down is playing next to a veteran
Speaker 12: and Jalen Thompson is coming over from Arizona.
Speaker 3: If they can just stay healthy.
Speaker 12: With a new defensive coordinator coming in there and Christian
Speaker 12: Parker's bringing Vic Fangio's scheme, they've got a chance to
Speaker 12: be representative on the defensive side of the ball, like
Speaker 12: a good solid defense, and that, like you said, given
Speaker 12: the offense they had, maybe all they need. The other
Speaker 12: things interesting about them, the makeup of the team's really
Speaker 12: good coming out of the Micaeh Parsons trade from last year.
Speaker 12: Like a lot of good guys there, and I don't
Speaker 12: think it's a mistake. Kenny Clark, former team captain, Quintin Williams,
Speaker 12: former team captain, jay On Thompson, former team captain.
Speaker 3: And I talked to Dak about this. He's not afraid.
Speaker 12: To put into words their aspirations to go and win
Speaker 12: a Super Bowl this year. So it'll be interesting to
Speaker 12: see how the defense comes along. But I think it
Speaker 12: should be good on that side of the ball. You're right,
Speaker 12: they've got a chance.
Speaker 2: Give me the surprise team, good or bad in your opinion.
Speaker 12: I think we cover these things so thoroughly now that
Speaker 12: by the time we get to August, we're like out
Speaker 12: of surprise teams.
Speaker 3: So I don't know who that would be.
Speaker 12: I mean, I look at the NFC South, honestly, Dan,
Speaker 12: and I look at New Orleans and the way New
Speaker 12: Orleans came on last year, and like, I think Kellen
Speaker 12: Moore is a really good offensive design guy, offensive play caller.
Speaker 12: They've got a good defensive coordinator in Brandon Staley. If
Speaker 12: Tyler Schuck can be who he was for the last
Speaker 12: six games of last year over the course of a
Speaker 12: full year. Well, they've got two first round picks that tackle.
Speaker 12: They've got two first round picks at receiver. They have
Speaker 12: Tamara and Etci ended running back. They're bringing in, you know,
Speaker 12: a new tight end in Oscar delt to go with
Speaker 12: Juwan Johnson. I just there are a lot of pieces
Speaker 12: in place there and they looked really good at the
Speaker 12: end of last year. So the danger has always taken
Speaker 12: like the December of the year before and projecting it.
Speaker 12: But I think, but I think New Orleans there was
Speaker 12: a surprise team because I think you could take twenty
Speaker 12: two teams, twenty three teams, twenty four teams off the
Speaker 12: table as we've all talked.
Speaker 3: About all of them.
Speaker 12: Maybe one of the team is like out of the
Speaker 12: group that's left that might surprise the people will be
Speaker 12: New Orleans.
Speaker 2: Safe travels. Thanks for spending some time with us. We'll
Speaker 2: talk to you soon.
Speaker 12: Thanks Dan, I have somebody to take a picture of
Speaker 12: my ridiculous setup. Here you are perched on top of
Speaker 12: a tall attack of coke and a twelve attack of
Speaker 12: die coke.
Speaker 3: But we made it work.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Albert.
Speaker 3: Thanks Dan.
Speaker 2: Albert Breer Monday Morning quarterback. Yeah, there's movement behind him.
Speaker 2: There's guys getting soft drinks out of the cooler right
Speaker 2: next to it. But he's been a busy man at
Speaker 2: the Chiefs today, at the Broncos yesterday. Then he's got Texans, Lions, Bengals,
Speaker 2: Cold Spares, Packers, Vikings, Browns and the Bills. A couple
Speaker 2: of phone calls in here. Trip in Vegas is back, Hi, Trip,
Speaker 2: what do you have for me?
Speaker 10: Hey, DP, good morning. I was good to speak to
Speaker 10: y'all last week when we were talking about trade value
Speaker 10: of the day and Net's so basically, I think you
Speaker 10: guys are set to win now till you retire, meaning
Speaker 10: that Polly quarterback Overki or Marvin's a small handed but
Speaker 10: a sure handed, skilled position player that's deserving. Dylan's on
Speaker 10: a rookie contract, so you can't do anything with him,
Speaker 10: And then with Todd, he just reminds me of Roger
Speaker 10: Dorn in the movie Major League when they go, Hey,
Speaker 10: we didn't know you didn't have any high We thought
Speaker 10: you didn't have any high price talent.
Speaker 2: We don't.
Speaker 10: He's just high priced.
Speaker 2: Don't have a good day. Thank you, Trip.
Speaker 12: He's always got a shot for me, Trip, Yeah, he
Speaker 12: does take a share.
Speaker 3: It's usually very accurate.
Speaker 2: I got no comeback, Zach, and Knoxville's back. Hi, Zach,
Speaker 2: what do you have for me?
Speaker 3: Adip?
Speaker 13: Thanks for taking my call to play off the running
Speaker 13: back conversation. Would you rather have a Saquon Barkley or
Speaker 13: a Jon Robinson or would you rather funnel that money
Speaker 13: towards like say like a T Higgins and a solid
Speaker 13: number two wide receiver.
Speaker 2: Oh, it feels like you can get receivers, but then
Speaker 2: it feels like I can get running backs as well.
Speaker 2: But there's only a couple that are that high end,
Speaker 2: like Saquon Bijeon, Jamiir Gibbs. If you want to still
Speaker 2: throw in Christian McCaffrey. McCaffrey's not a home run hitter
Speaker 2: like he used to be. The other guys are home
Speaker 2: run hitters, and there's very That's why I was like
Speaker 2: Jeremiah Love, I thought he was going to be the
Speaker 2: best player in the draft. I thought he was a
Speaker 2: home run hitter. He could, you know, kick return out
Speaker 2: of the backfield, catch passes and like Arizona may get
Speaker 2: it right one of these days. They do have. You
Speaker 2: do have some talent, like if Marvin Harrison continues to progress,
Speaker 2: Trey McBride, like you have, you have some pieces there.
Speaker 2: You could just use a quarterback there. That's what's kind
Speaker 2: of holding him back. Charlie and Dayton, Hi, Charlie, what
Speaker 2: do you have for me?
Speaker 11: Good morning?
Speaker 7: Dan.
Speaker 11: You were talking about the potential further to be a
Speaker 11: cat for in the MLB and somebody was talking about,
Speaker 11: you know, the problems that may or may not solve.
Speaker 11: And if the main problem is me trying to figure
Speaker 11: out if the Cincinnati Reds our a farm team or
Speaker 11: a legitimate team, I think that is a big problem.
Speaker 11: And I would I would guess that the cat floor
Speaker 11: would maybe solved that or at least make me think
Speaker 11: that the Reds are trying to be relevant or you know,
Speaker 11: a small market team. Would the four saw would it
Speaker 11: be similar to like how the NFL like is It
Speaker 11: would put it to the point where, like a major
Speaker 11: League Baseball team at least gives you the illusion that
Speaker 11: you are relevant.
Speaker 2: Well, I think just making the playoffs is probably good
Speaker 2: enough for quite a few owners that you're gonna make
Speaker 2: your money. You're gonna have people come out and revenue share,
Speaker 2: and we don't. We're not going to be in for
Speaker 2: the big guys. Maybe we get lucky like Arizona did
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago where they take out the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: But you got to spend money. It's gonna be really challenging.
Speaker 2: Maybe Tampa does it. Maybe Tampa surprises people. The American
Speaker 2: League is open for business. I know the Yankees are there. See,
Speaker 2: I thought the Yankees would have been involved in the
Speaker 2: Trek Scooble sweepstakes as well. And maybe it's not that
Speaker 2: desirable or the Dodgers are so desirable that they're taking
Speaker 2: people out of you know, the process here of you know,
Speaker 2: offering up some kind of trade. But imagine, if you're
Speaker 2: the Yankees, you can go back to the World Series,
Speaker 2: you get Trek Scouble, you can go back to the
Speaker 2: World Series. Because who's in your way? Now? The Red
Speaker 2: Sox are playing great? Is there going to be something
Speaker 2: out of the Central The West is terrible. They're horrible,
Speaker 2: I mean terrible. And so if I'm the Yankee now
Speaker 2: they may say we're gonna go to the World Series anyway,
Speaker 2: But I got Tampa to worry about Seattle. You're the Yankees,
Speaker 2: and if you had Trek Scuble, you're going to the
Speaker 2: World Series. In my opinion, Yeah, Pauling.
Speaker 5: The Al West is terrible, Dan, as you said, the
Speaker 5: best team has is fifty eight and fifty six the Astros.
Speaker 5: They've been outscored by twenty nine runs this year. Every
Speaker 5: team in the division has been outscored this season.
Speaker 2: We'll talk quarterbacks. Ranking quarterbacks coming up next hour, Mike Sando.
Speaker 2: He did a deep dive. He is a senior NFL
Speaker 2: writer for the Athletic Kill Join us in about forty
Speaker 2: minutes from now. We'll take a break. More phone calls
Speaker 2: coming up. We're back after this.

Speaker 1: listen live. Cody in Texas, Hi Cody, what do you
Speaker 1: have for me today?
Speaker 14: Hey?
Speaker 8: Dan, Just want to really give a quick shout out
Speaker 8: to the guys I was watching on Peacock. But it's
Speaker 8: such a good job with all the technical difficulties. But
Speaker 8: you know, talking about the Beijon signing, you know I'm
Speaker 8: having you know, p at PTSD from the Ezekiel Elliott
Speaker 8: signing from the Cowboys years ago that you were so
Speaker 8: right on the head about. You know, it's just it's
Speaker 8: such a gamble and a risk. And you know, going
Speaker 8: back to first hour, the guys were talking about college
Speaker 8: football scheduling. You know, there used to be that week
Speaker 8: in the SEC where there was a cupcase every year,
Speaker 8: you know, the Citadel or Chattanooga, Tennessee if you're at
Speaker 8: the schedule now, I'm moving forward. A lot of that's
Speaker 8: gone away, So the SEC is now actually looks like
Speaker 8: they're backloading. A lot of the schedule probably has to
Speaker 8: do with the course playoff selection and trying to get
Speaker 8: as many teams eren as they can.
Speaker 2: Well, didn't they go to nine games? Paulie that you
Speaker 2: had to play nine conference games? Yes, so that probably
Speaker 2: took away one of those cupcakes. Jeff and Milwaukee. Hi, Jeff,
Speaker 2: what do you have for me today?
Speaker 15: Hey morning? I am wondering if ye as far as
Speaker 15: school goes, so, talking as a Brewis fan, as I've
Speaker 15: marinated on this, of course, the first thing I thought
Speaker 15: on Saturday was, you've got to be kidding me. The
Speaker 15: Dodgers did this again? How could they do it?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 15: Then I became why didn't the Brewers do this? And
Speaker 15: just had knee surgery yesterday? And also a reason that
Speaker 15: I somehow wanted to call if you can believe that
Speaker 15: with your shut and audience. But maybe it's the drugs talking.
Speaker 15: But did do the other owners not want to beat
Speaker 15: the Dodgers offer so that they can have the storyline
Speaker 15: going into the offseason that the Dodgers are too rich
Speaker 15: and we need a salary cap.
Speaker 2: Well, but if you look at what the Dodgers gave
Speaker 2: up to get Schoolball, just to get him, I know
Speaker 2: that they can pay him and most of these other
Speaker 2: teams can't. By most baseball experts accounts, that's not it
Speaker 2: wasn't this treasure trove that Detroit got. I think that
Speaker 2: was what was surprising is other teams probably could have
Speaker 2: trumped that. The question is are you okay with an
Speaker 2: excuse as to why you didn't win? If I'm an owner,
Speaker 2: like I have to be, you know, fiscally responsible, but
Speaker 2: I also have to be responsible for occasionally getting out
Speaker 2: of my comfort zone and trying to win something larger.
Speaker 2: Could you imagine if the Brewers won the World Series?
Speaker 2: I mean, that's generational. The Dodgers don't. It's not we
Speaker 2: expect them to win. If the Yankees win, okay, that
Speaker 2: might be a little bit of a surprise. But if
Speaker 2: the Guardians would happen to win, Tampa would happen to win.
Speaker 2: Tampa has been to World Series. But you know these
Speaker 2: are moments where you go, are we can we go
Speaker 2: toe to toe in a seven game series? That's how
Speaker 2: I would view this and if you give me Mesarowski
Speaker 2: and Scooble, if I could get him, I know it's
Speaker 2: a rental. What happens if we win the World Series?
Speaker 2: Is there any chance of keeping him? What's a better
Speaker 2: chance than not getting him at all? Jim in Michigan, Hi, Jim,
Speaker 2: what do you have for me today?
Speaker 14: Just wanted to test base with you. I was watching
Speaker 14: NBAWNBA game on Saturday with Indiana and Minnesota. I'm having
Speaker 14: a hard time interpreting what the rest consider pedal. It
Speaker 14: just seems that there's a lot of vagueness and a laborious
Speaker 14: procedure to determine what's happened. I don't know if it's
Speaker 14: the same way in the NBA, but that's the frustration
Speaker 14: for a viewer on for me on a novice viewer
Speaker 14: on TV, coupled with the trash talk that it's like
Speaker 14: a bunch of playground pullie, it's not comfortable to watch.
Speaker 14: I guess that's what I'll say. And I'm new to
Speaker 14: the NWNBA, but I wish, I wish I could understand
Speaker 14: a little bit more of what they're trying to do.
Speaker 2: Well. We've tried to get the commissioner on that's not happening.
Speaker 2: But if you're new to the WNBA, then you're new
Speaker 2: to the physicality of women's basketball. This is not college basketball.
Speaker 2: This is professional basketball, and there is physicality. That's what
Speaker 2: surprises everybody. People may have just stumbled upon the WNBA
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago when Caitlyn Clark came in,
Speaker 2: and that's where people are like, Wow, they're roughing your up.
Speaker 2: Yes they are, but you're gonna do that if you're
Speaker 2: allowed to do that. But it's rough all over. It's
Speaker 2: not just Caitlin Clark, but we do focus on her.
Speaker 2: But the league is physical. These are great athletes out there.
Speaker 2: It's thought, hey, four bounce passes and you know, a
Speaker 2: set shot. They're creating offensively, defensively, big, quick, fast, strong,
Speaker 2: great shooters. It's just different. People got in and all
Speaker 2: of a sudden they couldn't believe how physical. I would
Speaker 2: be physical with Caitlin Clark if I was guarding here,
Speaker 2: because I can get into her head. I'm goleta frustrated
Speaker 2: I'm picking her up half court. I mean, that would
Speaker 2: be my philosophy, and I would tell my team go
Speaker 2: get her until otherwise, go get her. Yes, Marvin You.
Speaker 4: Always talk about that with Steph Curry, and I think
Speaker 4: the big difference is nothing seems to rattle Steph Curry.
Speaker 4: Steph Curry's always pretty even keel when he's on the floor,
Speaker 4: even when guys are trying to get physical with him.
Speaker 4: And also the difference is he's always moving around, so
Speaker 4: he's not just standing in one place, so you just
Speaker 4: can't stand there and rough them up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's really important aspect of Steph Curry's
Speaker 2: game that's underrated. He's in constant motion and he's one
Speaker 2: of the smallest guys on the floor, but you got
Speaker 2: to catch up to it. He's gonna run you. Final
Speaker 2: hour on this Tuesday coming up, talk some football who's
Speaker 2: in the confessional. Paul's going in there and rightfully so
Speaker 2: Final Hour right after this
