1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,880 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Let's bring in Chris Sims, Pro Football Talk 3 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,760 Speaker 1: Live co host and of course, an analyst for NBC 4 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football. What was your reaction to Kurson Palmer 5 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: mentioning Mike Tomlin's name is a possible USC head coach candidate. Well, 6 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:21,319 Speaker 1: I was surprised to hear it. I mean, anytime you 7 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,319 Speaker 1: hear Carson Palmer talk about USC, of course you perk 8 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 1: up a little bit. He did win the Heisman. He 9 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: of course knows some of the big players at that school. 10 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 1: As far as you know, the guys that are tossing 11 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: around the ideas of who should who should coach for 12 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: their team. Mike Tomlin he'd be. I can't ever envision 13 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,239 Speaker 1: him making that move. I can't just because I think 14 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: he's so ingrained in the NFL and that way of life. 15 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: But I do think he could be successful in college. 16 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: He's the best communicator I've ever been around, or at 17 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: least one of the best, that's for sure. You know, 18 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: he was in Tampa one of the secondary coaches, the 19 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: secondary coach when I was there, and he's a great motivator. 20 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: He really understands how to connect to people. There's no 21 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: excuses or bs. And from that standpoint, and of course 22 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: knows football. Yeah, I think he could do it for sure, 23 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: but I just don't see it happen. And I think 24 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 1: he likes NFL head coach life and likes being the 25 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: head coach of the Steelers. Either of those two teams 26 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,040 Speaker 1: last night any good? I mean the Seahawks are not. 27 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 1: They're not that that's you know again, They'll continue to 28 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: play tough and compete, but like, what is there to 29 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: be what's there to look at to be good? I 30 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: mean on defense, Okay, the two safeties are good, you know. 31 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: I mean, Bobby Wagner's you know, solid still but getting 32 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: up there in years. The Jordan Brooks linebacker good. Nobody 33 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: on the D line You're going, oh wow, you better 34 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: game plan to stop that guy. Nothing, no corner to 35 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: worry about. And then the offense offensive line average, you know, 36 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: running back Chris Carson not healthy, and I mean with 37 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson out, the best thing they got going for 38 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: their team is DK Metcalf and Tire Lockett. And it's 39 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: like they almost go out of their way not to 40 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: give them the ball. I don't understand that, so that's crazy. 41 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: I do give a little hope for New Orleans. I 42 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: do because I think their defense is legit as you 43 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: saw last night, and that will continue, but the offensive 44 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: line can be overpowering the past games a work in progress. 45 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 1: Jamis is a work in progress right now, and so 46 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: are the receivers to go along with it. So it's 47 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 1: kind of a double whammy. And I think, you know, 48 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: with Sean Payton, I have faith in him. I'd give 49 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: them hope to be you know, I think they can 50 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: get in the playoffs. I picked them to be in 51 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: the playoffs and be a pain in the butt once 52 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 1: they get in there. If they can just get the 53 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: offense rolling a little bit, maybe get Michael Thomas back, 54 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: that would help. Okay, wait a minute, how long is 55 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: Jameis Winston a work in progress? Well, he's a work 56 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 1: in progress for like like life in the NFL. Away 57 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: from what he did in Tampa, I mean, yeah, I 58 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: get it, you know, but you know, he got into 59 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: a team there where he of course he did some 60 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: good things, and we know he did a lot of 61 00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: stupid things there too, but also they never really demand 62 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: so he's trying to rewire the robot here a little 63 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: bit as far as just protecting the football, doing the 64 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: right thing. You know, hey, they're they're winning football games. 65 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: It hasn't been pretty. Yeah, he misses some throws, but 66 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: we're seeing the stupid plays disappear. I think that's a positive. 67 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 1: And again, like you know, you saw it last night, Hey, 68 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: threw a great goball down the right side, and then 69 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: too Kenny Stills. I mean, I don't know it's right 70 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,959 Speaker 1: in two hands, catch it a post route down in 71 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: the middle early on in the game. I don't know 72 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: what the hell the Trey Kwon Smith was doing. So 73 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: you know, they're not real talented in that position. He 74 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: needs a little help there. And yeah, he's not perfect 75 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: within that offense. And I think Sean Payton too, Dan, 76 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: to your point is is bringing him along slowly. He 77 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: doesn't want to make it all about him and then 78 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: him revert back to the guy he used to be 79 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: and screw things up and screw things up for their 80 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: football team. All right, if you're Russell Wilson, yeah, do 81 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: you want to stay in Seattle? That's a floria. And 82 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: I spent a good portion of the show today talking 83 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: about this topic because I mean, of course, he made 84 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: waves on your show last year, and I know people 85 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: behind the scenes who have talked to Russell Wilson he 86 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: wants to be in a Josh Allen Patrick Mahomes type offense. 87 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: Seattle shows no signs of doing that. I mean, it's 88 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: still Yeah, they got Shane Waldron from the Rams, it's 89 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: still the same Seattle. Look, we're gonna run the ball. 90 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: We're gonna run the ball, We're gonna play defense, and 91 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,359 Speaker 1: we just hope to have a one score game in 92 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Oh great, that's fun, coach. That's what 93 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: we're hoping for, Just a one score game in the 94 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: fourth quarter, and then you know, Russell pulls off magic. 95 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: So he's got to be thinking about it a little 96 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: bit or worried about it to a degree, because I 97 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 1: don't know if it's in their realm, realm of you know, 98 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 1: realistic possibilities that Pete Carroll will let them change on 99 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 1: offense and become anything else other than what we've seen 100 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 1: really the whole era he's been there. But I wonder 101 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: does Seattle want to keep him and does Russell want 102 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 1: stay there, because they could be two different answers there, 103 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: and maybe they want to. I mean, Pete is the 104 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: oldest coach in the NFL. Does does he want to 105 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 1: sit here and do what Belichick is trying to do 106 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 1: in New England. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, that's 107 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: gonna be a that's gonna be a big, big question. 108 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: I think we're I would not be shocked if we 109 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: were headed towards this type of conversation when the off 110 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: season's over where Russell's just like, hey, listen, it's coming 111 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: to an end. You guys want to play defense and 112 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: run the ball, And that's cool, and I respect it, 113 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 1: but you know, I'd like to broaden my horizons a 114 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: little bit and get into three four wides shotgun. Let 115 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: me let the game be about me and me applying 116 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 1: the pressure on defenses and play through that instead of 117 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: let's play through the running game and defense, and then 118 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: when we're down by four in the fourth quarter, just 119 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 1: ask me to make magic happens. That's a hard way 120 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 1: to live, and that's what he's been doing there for 121 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: a while talking to Chris Sims, Pro Football Talk Live 122 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: co host an analyst for NBC Sunday Night Football. According 123 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: to ESPN's Dan Graziano, the Cleveland Browns are looking at 124 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: an offer contract offer with Baker Mayfield, and it would 125 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 1: pay him in the mid to high thirty million dollars 126 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: per year to stick around. So maybe an eighty percent 127 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 1: offer of what the going rate would be for a 128 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,119 Speaker 1: good to elite quarterback. There. It's not Josh Allen money. 129 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: It's not Patrick Mahomes or Deshaun Watson. If you're Baker, 130 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: do you I don't know what kind of leverage he has, 131 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: Chris Sure. I mean, he's not Dak Prescott. Dak Prescott. 132 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: Dak passed on this bet on himself, even got injured 133 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,359 Speaker 1: and still ended up with his paycheck. What would you 134 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 1: do if you're Baker Mayfield if that is the offer 135 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: to stay? Yeah, I mean and Daki, you know, even 136 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 1: before the injury and up to that, played at a 137 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: much higher level than people kind of wanted to give 138 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: him credit for it. Now, and you know, now everybody's like, well, 139 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 1: look how good he is, and it's like, no, he 140 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: was good all along. They've gotten better as a football 141 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: team finally here. I would take it if I'm Baker Mayfield. 142 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 1: I mean, I think your point's right. You know, again, 143 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: what's the leverage that's out there. Do you really want 144 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: to play that game? You're in a pretty good spot. 145 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: You were the number one pick. They believe in you. 146 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: You know, there's something to be said about that, and hey, 147 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: you got a team there that's you know, of course 148 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: it is good. Hey they're disappointing. They're four and three. 149 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: They're one of the better rosters in football, but still 150 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: like fixable and a lot of talent on both sides 151 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: of the ball to where you know, the grass isn't 152 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: always greener on the other side of the fence. I 153 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: would take that if i'm him, And I think that's 154 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: a solid offer by the Browns too, because you said 155 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: it right. I mean, he's he's not one of the 156 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: five best quarterbacks that's her. Sure, he's not in that class. 157 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: And to me, like this is where the NFL and 158 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: front office guy's got to change a little bit. It 159 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: can't always be next guy up he gets more money. No, 160 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: absolutely not. At some point they got to draw a 161 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: line in the sand or we're gonna have keep having 162 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: Jared Goff issues with some of these quarterbacks where they're 163 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: gonna go, what the hell are we thinking two or 164 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: three years down the road, he's better than Jared Goff. 165 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to say that, but of course it's 166 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: been a little bit of a rollercoaster with his play, 167 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: you know, through his career. So I would take it 168 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: if I'm him, and I would find the Browns. I 169 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,679 Speaker 1: wait till the end of the year. Let's just see. 170 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: You know, you got the shoulder, You're gonna have surgery. 171 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: You know you're gonna have other guys available, you know, 172 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo may be available, Russell Wilson, maybe Aaron Rodgers. 173 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: You make a running like you know here before I 174 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: sign up Baker Mayfield, And then I realized, oh my god, 175 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,719 Speaker 1: we we could have had they wanted Russell Wilson a 176 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,839 Speaker 1: couple of years ago. Yes, they did, because Seattle, from 177 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: what I'm told, was going to take Josh Allen and 178 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: the Browns were gonna take Russell Wilson. They were gonna 179 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: have a trade between you know, those two teams. So yeah, 180 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: I know Russ was open to that. Cleveland wanted him, 181 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: and Seattle was ready to move on from Russell Wilson 182 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 1: and get Johnny You imagine if that happened. Well, I know, 183 00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 1: you know, I was one of the guys that kind 184 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: of broke that that story there, and you know, but yeah, 185 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: I mean that's it's it's uh, it's it would be amazing. 186 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: It really would be. I mean, yeah, it would It's 187 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,839 Speaker 1: of course, at that time, you didn't know what Josh 188 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 1: Allen was gonna be. You knew Wilson was certainly one 189 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: of the best quarterbacks in football. I'm sure you know. 190 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: I don't I don't know. I don't know who got 191 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 1: cold feet in that conversation and where that got slowed 192 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,479 Speaker 1: down there. But either way, the Browns went with Baker Mayfield. 193 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: And hey, the way they play, I mean, they're not 194 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 1: it's not it doesn't have to be quarterback centric, right, 195 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: that's you know again, the greatness of the Browns is 196 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: their run game. It's the best offensive line in football. 197 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: It's the best, it's the most well coached offensive line 198 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: in football. And with those two running backs healthy, damn 199 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,679 Speaker 1: they're good. They really are. And maybe they just look 200 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: at it too like Okay, yeah, maybe you could get 201 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: Rogers or Wilson or somebody like that in the offseason, 202 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: but there's no guarantee that happens, and uh, maybe that 203 00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: opens up a can of the worms. They don't want 204 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: to deal with either. I gotta wrap my head around 205 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: it more. But I understand them staying with Baker Mayfield. 206 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: He is their guy. He has shown positive signs and 207 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: played really well at points. It's just every time I'm 208 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: sitting there ready to go, man, he's got it. He's awesome, 209 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 1: he looks good. He puts two or three games together 210 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: where I go, what the hell, I'm not sure if 211 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 1: he does got it and we're back to, you know, 212 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: the same conversation, and you know, who knows better than 213 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: them and hopefully they do know better than us. He's 214 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: a good quarterback with great marketing. I mean, that's sure. 215 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 1: That's that's what it comes down to. He appears to 216 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: be a star, even though he's not. He doesn't play 217 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: like a star, but but he has he has that presence. 218 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 1: Um a couple other things here. Yeah, your advice for 219 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes would be, well, 220 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, again, nothing new that you haven't heard, 221 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: you know. Of course, they got to show the ability 222 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,959 Speaker 1: to be able to be boring and execute and go 223 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,719 Speaker 1: on breeze and Brady type drives that we used to 224 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: see with New England and the Saints where it's twelve 225 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: plays eighty five yards and bore some teams to where 226 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: they get up there and start to play them differently, 227 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: to go, WHOA, we can't just die of slow death 228 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: or they're just gonna surgically destroy us all game. But 229 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: in a bigger picture too. You know, I've broken this 230 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,319 Speaker 1: down on my podcast a few times, and it reared 231 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: its ugly head because I watched the film in this 232 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: game this past week. Yesterday, Mahomes played his worst game 233 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: as a pro on Sunday. Hands down, there's no doubt 234 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: about it. I mean, he missed some reads where I'd go, 235 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: there's the first read, throw it. He's kind of looking 236 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: at the rush. His pocket presence is really, I think 237 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 1: the most concerning thing right now. He's leaving the pocket 238 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: way too early at times. He's got to watch some 239 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 1: Dan Marino, Tom Brady, Joe Burrow film and watch how 240 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: they manipulate and move within the pocket. You know, right now, 241 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: I think he got into some bad habits. And I 242 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: don't know this, but I'm just this is me watching, 243 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 1: you know, being Johnny Nerd who watches football all the time. 244 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: I think last year got him some bad half bits. 245 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: They couldn't protect him the last seven or eight weeks 246 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 1: of the year, so he was always floating around because 247 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,199 Speaker 1: he knew, Man, somebody's gonna come free. I gotta buy 248 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: myself some time. And this year, I mean, there's there's 249 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 1: a bunch of plays in the game the other day 250 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 1: where I go, it's it's perfect, where are you going? 251 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: People are open the interception, he's got Tyreek killed down 252 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,719 Speaker 1: the left sideline. He's I mean, it's it's it's what 253 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,439 Speaker 1: you want. But for some reason he leaves the pocket 254 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 1: and the second read's open too, And it's just a 255 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,319 Speaker 1: little of that right now to where he's not playing 256 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: as true to form to the position as he's capable, 257 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: and he needs to fix it because the offense is 258 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,319 Speaker 1: gonna have to carry them. The defense isn't gonna get 259 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: much better. They're built for the offense to carry him. 260 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 1: Expensive old line, high price receiver, high price tight end, 261 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: high price quarterback. It's on them to put the pressure 262 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 1: on opposing teams and go off of that. It feels 263 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,439 Speaker 1: like we were looking at every team in the AFC 264 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,599 Speaker 1: North except for the Cincinnati Bengals. So you said, okay, 265 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 1: Ben coming back. They draft a running back maybe they 266 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 1: got one more year of magic. All the Browns are loaded, 267 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,319 Speaker 1: you know, they're Super Bowl contenders. Oh the Ravens, they 268 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: just beat the Chargers. They might have the MVP and 269 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. Then all of a sudden, Cincinnati comes to Baltimore. 270 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,079 Speaker 1: Now you can say trap game, but it's a divisional game, 271 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: So I'm not buying it's a trap game. Are you 272 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,679 Speaker 1: sold on the Bengals being the best team in the 273 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 1: NC North or at least a playoff team. Well, yeah, 274 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: I'm sold on them being on the playoff conversation and 275 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: that type of team. Again, yeah, I didn't see this 276 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 1: coming from the Bengals. I mean, I'm not gonna lie, 277 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 1: but I will say for last like two weeks and 278 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,199 Speaker 1: I think Football Night in America two Sundays that go. 279 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: I said, like, listen, stop everybody waiting for like the 280 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: floor to fall out here. It's not. They're here to stay. 281 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: This is They're not gonna fall apart as a football team. 282 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 1: That's not gonna happen. And I'm not saying they go 283 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: to the playoffs, but their playoff caliber for sure. You know, 284 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 1: you look at their team, their offensive line, they're really 285 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: big in the interior, they've gotten a little bit better 286 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: every week. You got a star running back in Mixing. 287 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: They have a good little offensive system where they draw 288 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: up a few tricks every now and every week, just 289 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: to add to that. And of course Jamar Chases. He's uncoverable. 290 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: I mean he really is. He's in the conversation for 291 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: the best receiver in football already as a rookie. If 292 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,559 Speaker 1: you play one on one, your butt's gonna get burned. 293 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 1: That's just plain and simple. Let alone. They got other 294 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: guys in the passing tree there that are good too. 295 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 1: And defensively, Dan, they got two big guys in the 296 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: middle of Ogan Joby and DJ Reader, three athletic linebackers, 297 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: two real good safeties, and some good cover corners. It 298 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: wasn't a mistake. They were toe to toe with the 299 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers a few weeks ago. They're They're that 300 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: caliber of a team and I think they're gonna be 301 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: here to stay for the rest of the year. Good 302 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 1: to talk to you, as always, We appreciate your time. 303 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: Thank you, Chris, Thank you, Dan.

Not 324 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: that Mike Tomlin has put his name on the list. 325 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: It's USC. It's putting his name on the list.

You know 328 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 1: what I learned last night watching Seattle against the Saints. 329 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 1: Eli Manning is the interesting Manning. He's the cool one. 330 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: Peyton is a nerd. Eli is fun like Peyton is 331 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: a football nerd. Eli. You know, if you said, Okay, 332 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 1: who are you going to hang out with now, normally 333 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: you would say Peyton. And I've been fortunate to be 334 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: with the entire Manning family in New Orleans at a 335 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: super Bowl and they're all characters. It's you know, especially Cooper, 336 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: the oldest brother. But I noticed last night Eli is 337 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: the cool guy. He's funny, he's quick, he sneaks in 338 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: and out. Peyton's the one that everything bothers him, Like 339 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: there'd be a missed field goal, and he acted like 340 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: it was Mike Vanderjack that missed a field goal. He 341 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: is like, and Eli's like, what do you? Why has 342 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: it bothering you? Like, you know, we thought Eli was 343 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: the nerdy brother for such a long time, and I 344 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: realized Eli has a great personality and a perfect personality 345 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: to be the foil for Peyton. And this note to 346 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,919 Speaker 1: executives TV executives. We live in a world where we 347 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 1: try to replicate, We try to imitate. Don't do it. 348 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,640 Speaker 1: Just be careful when you go, hey, and we're gonna 349 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,360 Speaker 1: put two guys in there and we're gonna let them 350 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,679 Speaker 1: have fun. Very stay with the Hasselbecks. Yes, now, I 351 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: don't want to see Thursdays or Mondays or Sundays with 352 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: the Hasselbacks. This is a rare. This is like the 353 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 1: NBA on TNT and ESPN is trying to replicate. Has 354 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 1: been trying to replicate the NBA on TNT with Charles Barkley, 355 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: Ernie Kenny and Shack for years. You can't. Teams wanted 356 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: to replicate the Greatest Show on Turf, Saint Louis Ramsay. 357 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 1: You can't do it, but they try and they can. 358 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,120 Speaker 1: Everybody wanted to be the Golden State Warriors. We're gonna 359 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 1: come out and this farting, you know, start firing threes. 360 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 1: You can't be the Golden State Warriors because you're not 361 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,159 Speaker 1: Steph Curry, You're not Klay Thompson. You can't be that. 362 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 1: We get caught up in the ESPN was trying to 363 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:18,159 Speaker 1: replicate Monday Night Football for years. No Sports Center is 364 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 1: still trying to be what Sports Center was twenty years ago, 365 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,680 Speaker 1: and they're not able to do that. It's we want it. 366 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: We looked at something and we go, oh my god, 367 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 1: why didn't we think of that? And then you try 368 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 1: to imitate that, and you can't imitate that. This is 369 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 1: two brothers played at a high level. They won four 370 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,359 Speaker 1: Super Bowls, they have respect, there's no host, they have 371 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: a great guest list. I mean, I'm watching the game 372 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,679 Speaker 1: and I'm not really watching the game because if you 373 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 1: don't have a rooting interest, then watch Peyton and Eli. 374 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 1: Because if it's a game that you don't have any 375 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: money on or fantasy players or rooting interest. They talk 376 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: about a lot of things football wise, and really brilliant. 377 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 1: And then Drew Brees came on. Drew Brees is basically saying, oh, 378 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 1: that formation, that's gonna be this, and then that's exactly 379 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,880 Speaker 1: what happened. Or the defense, Hey, you know what, they're 380 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: not gonna blitz on first down. They're gonna blitz on 381 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: second and third, and then they blitzed on second and 382 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:21,919 Speaker 1: third and sack Geno Smith both times. That it's entertainment. Now, 383 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: if you want to watch the football game, then watch, 384 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: you know, the regular broadcast, but as far as just eavesdropping, 385 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: as if the Manning brothers were letting you eavesdrop on 386 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 1: their conversation in their man caves, that's what you get, 387 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 1: and they've done a really great job. Marshawn Lynch was 388 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: a lot of fun last night. Tom Brady came on. 389 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 1: You can't compete with that if you're just watching as 390 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 1: a casual fan as I was last night. Yeah. Seton 391 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: Peyton's intensity during the games. It's kind of hilarious. It's 392 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: almost like he's got money on the game. That's the 393 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: same energy that he's like watching this kickoff, Like what 394 00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 1: are guys rinding his teeth and slapping his thighs. It's 395 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: cost him five grand I thought my computer screen was frozen. 396 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:10,440 Speaker 1: He light us a move for three hours. It was good, 397 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: it was entertaining. The game wasn't that good, And you 398 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: know Seattle still has those problems. I know you don't 399 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,160 Speaker 1: have Rus there, but you're scoring ten points. It's it's 400 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 1: a good Saints defense, but you haven't won a game 401 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 1: at home. You're now two and five. You had to 402 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: get through this game and then next game, and then 403 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 1: a bye week and then Russ is coming back and maybe, 404 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 1: you know can take you to a playoff spot, but 405 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 1: I doubt it right now. You know the Niners are down, 406 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,120 Speaker 1: but you know Arizona looks legit and the Rams are 407 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: certainly legit. In that Division World Series Game one, it'll 408 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 1: be the Braves versus the Astros. Davante Adams right now 409 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 1: is on the COVID list and I think he's doubtful 410 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:54,399 Speaker 1: for Thursday's game against Arizona. Eight seven seven three d 411 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: P Show Email drestp at Dan Patrick dot com, Twitter 412 00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: handle at dp's show mclov and the poll question for 413 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: our or two is okay. Aarone was who is more 414 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: likely to be back with their team next year? And 415 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,160 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson is actually running away with it over Aaron Rodgers, 416 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 1: So people think Russ will stay with the Seahawks. Okay, 417 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 1: I hate to do this. Can I float Tomaron Rodgers 418 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: trade ideas at you? No, because that's not fair. Russ 419 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 1: has already put out a wish list of teams, or 420 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,719 Speaker 1: his agent did, and the team is probably not going 421 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 1: to make the playoffs. I think that that's at least 422 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: that's potentially a real story. I don't want to do 423 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,439 Speaker 1: that with Aaron Rodgers. And because what happens when I 424 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: say something on this show, it makes headlines. Now when 425 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: Carson Palmer was with us yesterday, or go back to 426 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 1: when Russ was with us after the Super Bowl. When 427 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: things are said on this show, they make headlines, and 428 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 1: Carson Palmer yesterday made headlines. I didn't know what he 429 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: was going to tell us because I was bringing up 430 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 1: USC the coaching search. Is he involved in that? I 431 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: and I assume that Carson was a sounding board at USC, 432 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,439 Speaker 1: and he should be. But um I asked him about 433 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: James Franklin being the front runner at USC. I think 434 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: there's a lot of front runners right now. And that's 435 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 1: why I like where we're sitting. You know, we had 436 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,919 Speaker 1: the first hot seat open up. You can't have a 437 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 1: lot of front runners, Carson. You can have a front runner. 438 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: You've got Penn State, You've got Iowa State, You've got Cincinnati, 439 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: You've got a wild card like, uh, Mike Tomlin. That 440 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 1: that if Mike Tomlin wants out, and and I think 441 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:38,439 Speaker 1: you know, at the end of the day, there is 442 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: not a direct that's the guy. Everybody's pointing their fingers out. 443 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: There's a there's a lot of great options. Has has 444 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:52,159 Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin hypothetically been discussed. I'm sure he has. I 445 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: think I think anybody is a potential candidate right now. 446 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 1: And that's what's so great about the job is it 447 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: can lure an NFL guy and it's tired of their 448 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 1: current situation and worried about has been Roethlisberger gone? Has 449 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: he done? Who were going to draft? Or does Mike 450 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: Tomlin have to start over with a first round young 451 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 1: rookie quarterback. You know, everybody's on the table being that 452 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,159 Speaker 1: that job is so big and so coveted, you know. 453 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,159 Speaker 1: I think I think there's a bunch of people that 454 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: are in the discussion. And once we get to week 455 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 1: sixteen seventeen of the NFL season and the college football 456 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: season is over, will have a direct front runner. Wow, 457 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 1: And I think that then we talked a little bit 458 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: more about this, But this has to do with let's 459 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,199 Speaker 1: see where Pittsburgh is week sixteen or seventeen. This is 460 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,679 Speaker 1: a wish list. I have not heard from anybody telling 461 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 1: me directly that Mike Tomlin has expressed interest in the 462 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,959 Speaker 1: USC job. Maybe has, maybe through a third party, but 463 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,640 Speaker 1: I have not been told anything, And if I had 464 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,239 Speaker 1: been or have been, I would tell you that I 465 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 1: have not heard. This is just a wish list. Everybody 466 00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: looked at this and went, oh, there's no way he'd 467 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,639 Speaker 1: leave the NFL. You can't leave the Steelers. I'm not 468 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 1: saying he is or will. I'm just saying, and Carson 469 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 1: was saying this yesterday. You have a wish list, You're 470 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 1: going to take a shot. There's going to be other people. 471 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,680 Speaker 1: Kellen Moore's name is going to come up here. He's 472 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys, all right, his 473 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,120 Speaker 1: name's going to come up at some point. I'm told 474 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,679 Speaker 1: that James Franklin is trying to leverage Penn State, but 475 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,639 Speaker 1: his season is now on the brink, tough games ahead, 476 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 1: and some at USC have cooled on him. Also told 477 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 1: that he is now being represented by Jimmy Sexton, the 478 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: agent is now representing him, to which I ask my 479 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 1: source what's that mean? And my source said Sexton will 480 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 1: leverage him to the max. He is powerful, especially with 481 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 1: the SEC. This might be LSU instead of USC. USC 482 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,919 Speaker 1: is a fluid situation of who they're looking at. Chris Peterson, 483 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: why you or a Boise State in Washington not coaching 484 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 1: right now. He's another name. You're going to hear a 485 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:12,239 Speaker 1: lot of different names being floated about, But this is 486 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:16,439 Speaker 1: this is not something that Mike Tomlin has you know, 487 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 1: suggested that or is trying to get on that list. 488 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,360 Speaker 1: Now he's going to have a press conference today, he's 489 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: probably going to answer this in about two hours, where 490 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 1: he's going to be asked about this, to which he'll say, 491 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,400 Speaker 1: I love it here, I have no knowledge of that, 492 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: and we're moving on and whoever we're playing next, that's it. 493 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: But if you look at the situation there, I think 494 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: he has a Hall of Fame resume right now in 495 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,159 Speaker 1: the NFL. I think his career mirrors Bill Kaller and 496 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,359 Speaker 1: Bill Caller went into the Hall of Fame. This is 497 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:51,679 Speaker 1: Ben's last year. Who are you bringing in? Can you 498 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: bring in a free agent? I know he's openly flirted 499 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers, But are you going to bring in somebody? 500 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 1: Are you going to draft somebody? And if so, are 501 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 1: you going to be there for the long haul? Pittsburgh 502 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,959 Speaker 1: is the most loyal franchise when it comes to their 503 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 1: head coaches. We'd look at this and say, you're crazy 504 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:15,160 Speaker 1: to leave the NFL. It's the Pittsburgh Steelers. Yeah, certainly 505 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 1: sounds like that. I don't know what his lifestyle is like. 506 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: I don't know if he wants a change. Yeah, he's 507 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 1: got to go out and recruit. Yeah, I know all 508 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 1: of those things. You know, it's a grind. Okay. Maybe 509 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,360 Speaker 1: he doesn't want to have a new quarterback come in. 510 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: Maybe he wants a different challenge. Maybe you have that 511 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:39,119 Speaker 1: midlife coaching crisis where you're in your mid fifties and 512 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 1: you go, I got a chance to do something different. 513 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,360 Speaker 1: Maybe that happens with Mike Tomlin. But I don't want 514 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 1: people to misconstrue that Mike Tomlin wants this job or 515 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:53,440 Speaker 1: is actively seeking that and USC has had any contact 516 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:57,239 Speaker 1: with him. All this was was Carson Palmer gave us 517 00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 1: a peek at USC's wish list. That was because he said, Hey, 518 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 1: we got I have a States coach, we got Cincinnati's coach, 519 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: we got James Franklin, got all these people, and there's others. 520 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 1: I'm told Kellen Moore, the Cowboys offensive coordinator, and also 521 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 1: Dan Quinn, the defensive coordinator with the Cowboys. I'm also 522 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 1: told this today, USC is a better job than most 523 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:27,399 Speaker 1: NFL jobs, so coaches with weak ownership will be especially interested. 524 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 1: And then my source said Cliff Kingsbury question Mark, Okay, 525 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:39,159 Speaker 1: once again, this is what's being discussed. But it doesn't 526 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:44,359 Speaker 1: mean Cliff Kingsbury wants to leave Arizona. USC probably thinks 527 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,119 Speaker 1: they're far more important on the football landscape than what 528 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:51,679 Speaker 1: they really are. But if I'm looking for somebody, I 529 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 1: have to think that way. I'm going to take all 530 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,920 Speaker 1: the shots, all the swings I can because you've made 531 00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 1: all of these other coaching mistakes. Get it right. You've 532 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 1: gone through coaches, athletic directors, presidents. Get it right, and 533 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,880 Speaker 1: that's therefore you have to take a swing at everybody 534 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 1: who knows what If Mike Tomlin said, yes, I mean 535 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,919 Speaker 1: James Franklin, all right, James Franklin want to stay at 536 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,440 Speaker 1: Penn State. He's either going to get a raise or 537 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 1: are you going to take another job? Either way, and 538 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 1: maybe he's gonna leverage USC LSU and then what do 539 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 1: you get at Penn State? But this is what happens. 540 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 1: But I know I felt bad for Carson Palmer because 541 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 1: at the very end when he said, oh, you hadn't 542 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 1: heard that, and I go, no, and he goes, oh, 543 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: because then you knew it's live radio, and he was 544 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 1: busted that they have discussed or at least he knows 545 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 1: the name is on the list. Yeah. Point, You know, 546 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: USC is still a prime job. But look at the 547 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: landscape of football Los Angeles. When Pete Carroll was there, 548 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 1: there was no NFL teams. Now they have two. UCLA 549 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 1: was down. USA now is relevant, and you know, the 550 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 1: USC job still is what it is, but there's a 551 00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: lot more choices for the football fan.

Yeah, so 576 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: we gotta put some stuff together. I mean one time, 577 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,080 Speaker 1: I think I went as Lynn Swann. That was because 578 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 1: that was my favorite athletes. I was Lyn Swan, Pittsburgh, 579 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: stilled up, helmet everything. Did you ever meet Lynchwan? You 580 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 1: know I did. It was years later. I think I 581 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 1: was in the league and I ran up to him. 582 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 1: I'm like a little kid, but you know, I'm like, man, 583 00:30:58,560 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 1: I thought I was gonna beat you. When I was 584 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 1: growing up, man, it was awesome. Man. But you're growing 585 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 1: up in Ohio, so you weren't a Browns fan. You're 586 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,480 Speaker 1: a Steeler now. You know. It's funny because I grew 587 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 1: up closer to Detroit, so actually the Lions were more 588 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 1: in touch. But not a Browns fan, not a Bengals fan. No, 589 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: I just it was something that I think when I 590 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 1: was younger, Dan it was the Colors, the Black and 591 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 1: Gold in the seventies Pittsburgh. So it is and since then, 592 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 1: even if you remember the electronic football game that vibrated, Okay, 593 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 1: everything I have with Steeler stuff everything. Have you gone 594 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 1: to a game? Oh? Yeah, so I was at I 595 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: was at Three Rivers the last year before they moved 596 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 1: to hines Field to a Cowboys game, and then I 597 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 1: went to hines Field for a game. So a few 598 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 1: of my friends when I grew up with played high 599 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 1: school basketball, went to Michigan State, played quarterback or safety 600 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: for the Steelers. So I went to support him. And 601 00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 1: then another young fellow, Nate Washington, who played receiver, was 602 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 1: for the Steelers, was from Toledo and went to go 603 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 1: watch him and support him. So has some blood running 604 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,720 Speaker 1: through the veins, a little bit of Toledo, Ohio. Guys 605 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 1: playing for my squad. Okay, how many shoes do you 606 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 1: have behind you bunch? Okay? If I said over, under 607 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 1: one hundred over? Okay, what's the pair you're grabbing? If 608 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:27,959 Speaker 1: you gotta grab a pair of leaving the house? Oh oh, 609 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 1: that's a good one, bro. You know, we like to 610 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 1: match the outfits up a little bit. Now you gotta 611 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 1: gotta coordinate a little bit. How do you know what? 612 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 1: Actually though, it's a pair of slip ones that are 613 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 1: just these whites, um Steve Jennifer cows here, something like 614 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 1: that Nike. That's just easy. You just slip them on 615 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,720 Speaker 1: to just go. No style, nothing else, just white go 616 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 1: with everything. Any auto, any autograph, sneakers in there, No, 617 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 1: unless you want to send me something. You're the Hall 618 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 1: of Favor. Yeah, you don't have any Jordan autographs or 619 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 1: any of that stuff. No, No, you know I do 620 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,040 Speaker 1: have it. You know, it's funny. I have a Jordan 621 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 1: autograph picture. When I was a sophomore maybe junior in 622 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 1: high school, they had a I was in you know, Ohio, 623 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 1: of course, and I was being recruited by Ohio State. 624 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 1: So they were playing at the old Saint John's Arena 625 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:21,240 Speaker 1: and it was a preseason game. Dennis Hopson was on 626 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 1: the team played at Ohiose State, so they were playing 627 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 1: I think the Calves and I got a chance to 628 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 1: go in the locker room afterwards and I got this 629 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 1: picture with Michael Jordan after the game, which I still 630 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,520 Speaker 1: got it at my mom's house. I was only autograph 631 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 1: I got. Well, I think I got a diet Muhammad 632 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 1: Ali boxing gloves. Yes, did Jordan remember giving you that 633 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 1: when you playing against all? Not at all. He didn't 634 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 1: have a clue. He didn't have a clue. You didn't 635 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 1: mention that to him when I didn't bring it up here. Okay, 636 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 1: helped me understand this. With Lebron James, he attempted six 637 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,960 Speaker 1: threes a game last year. That's the most in his career. 638 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 1: In three games so far, he's taking ten threes a 639 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:12,720 Speaker 1: game and he's shooting forty eight percent. When you get older, yeah, 640 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:14,799 Speaker 1: you don't take it to the hoop as much as 641 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 1: he used to. We've seen a lot of guys. Vince 642 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,719 Speaker 1: Carter became a three point shooter, Jake Kidd became a 643 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 1: three point You know is Lebron. Is this the evolution 644 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:30,239 Speaker 1: of Lebron becoming an older player but still a relevant player. Yes, 645 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:34,360 Speaker 1: but you have to damn because you can't exert that 646 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,960 Speaker 1: same amount of energy and take that pounding as you 647 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,480 Speaker 1: used to, even though Lebron is like you know, from 648 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 1: Mars somewhere and still sub human and what he does 649 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 1: at his age, but you can tell over the years 650 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 1: that the pounding has taken away some of his athletic ability, 651 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 1: especially when he sometimes gets to the basket and can't 652 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,200 Speaker 1: finish as well as he did in the past. So 653 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,200 Speaker 1: you know, as a player, you look at what's the 654 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 1: easier way for me to be more effective. But that 655 00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,719 Speaker 1: also goes back into putting the network in the gym, 656 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,839 Speaker 1: because if you don't put it into work, then that 657 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:14,240 Speaker 1: viable option to step out and shoot threes is not there. 658 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 1: And you know, that was one of the questions in 659 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 1: Lebron's career early on in regards he has jump shot, 660 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 1: But as he's matured as a player, you know he's shot, 661 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,799 Speaker 1: he has shot a really good percentage from behind three 662 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 1: point line, but now it's more relevant and prevalent because 663 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 1: he is a little bit older. Yeah, I don't consider 664 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,960 Speaker 1: him a very good shooter, but like he's a score 665 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,319 Speaker 1: but he's accurate. But he's but he's accurately when you 666 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,920 Speaker 1: look at the percentages of a three point shoot. He's 667 00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,360 Speaker 1: not a catching shoot guy that you're gonna spot in 668 00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,239 Speaker 1: the corner and you know he's gonna be not But 669 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,319 Speaker 1: I'll tell you one thing for a ball handler, what 670 00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,360 Speaker 1: he's able to do when guys go under the screen 671 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:56,320 Speaker 1: and step back and shoot it. That is a weapon 672 00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 1: to have that a lot of people sometimes don't have. 673 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,760 Speaker 1: You know what may step so good and Kevin Durant 674 00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:03,799 Speaker 1: not only can they beat you with catch and shoot, 675 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,240 Speaker 1: but they can beat you off the dribble. So Lebron 676 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,520 Speaker 1: being able to handle, step behind the screen, come down 677 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,239 Speaker 1: and shoot it off the dribble, I think keeps him 678 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 1: viable and active in the threat when he has the 679 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:18,239 Speaker 1: ball in his hand. I've told this audience, don't overreact 680 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 1: to anything whether no matter what the sport is. We 681 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,840 Speaker 1: want to We want to figure something out before you 682 00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:28,520 Speaker 1: should figure it out. Especially week one. You know the Lakers, Okay, 683 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,600 Speaker 1: they got an old roster Russ. He's not really fitting in. 684 00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,799 Speaker 1: Oh you got Dwight Howard and Anthony Davis pushing you 685 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:39,040 Speaker 1: to I want to wait till after Christmas and then 686 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,279 Speaker 1: I'll get a better sense of how healthy they're going 687 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 1: to be. What's the workload? Like? Does Russ know what 688 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 1: his role? Russ has never been like that number three option. 689 00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:51,120 Speaker 1: And you go from being ball dominant to what am 690 00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:54,200 Speaker 1: I supposed to do? And I don't think they're playing 691 00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:57,840 Speaker 1: good defense. I'm gonna beg I'm gonna let everybody shoot 692 00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,239 Speaker 1: for the most part, go ahead and shoot those jump first. 693 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,560 Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. What is your takeaway from the 694 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:07,279 Speaker 1: Lakers first week of the season. This is their preseason 695 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,480 Speaker 1: because they really didn't play the core group together a 696 00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 1: lot of minutes in preseason. Now, keep in mind you 697 00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:17,960 Speaker 1: still Kendrick Nunn. Is that in there? Thht okay Wayne Ellington, 698 00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 1: which changes the dynamic of your offense because you have 699 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,160 Speaker 1: a shooter, So you don't have a full compliment of 700 00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,839 Speaker 1: who the Lakers are going to be. Yeah, everybody wants 701 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,160 Speaker 1: to overreacting that first. I don't care that you said 702 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,040 Speaker 1: what sport, But a lot of people just want to 703 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:31,719 Speaker 1: be right and say, a, Well, I told you this 704 00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:33,680 Speaker 1: team was not going to be that good. I told 705 00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,279 Speaker 1: you this was going to happen. I told you, we 706 00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 1: know in this league that twenty to twenty five games 707 00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,920 Speaker 1: you kind of figure out who you are as a team. Now. 708 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,640 Speaker 1: The outlier in that is if you had some key 709 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:49,080 Speaker 1: players who weren't healthy right away that are just now 710 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,359 Speaker 1: getting back into it, So that number of games may 711 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,359 Speaker 1: be skewed a little bit more and maybe larger because 712 00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,400 Speaker 1: you got to integrate those guys in to see who 713 00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,400 Speaker 1: you are. But I just think for the Lakers, it's 714 00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,840 Speaker 1: a matter of getting guys on the same page understanding rules. 715 00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:07,040 Speaker 1: I think Russ will be fine. You know. The difference 716 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:08,680 Speaker 1: is is that he's not a catching shoe player that 717 00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,360 Speaker 1: plays with Lebron. But if you're the Lakers, what do 718 00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,840 Speaker 1: you want. You want to be in a good position 719 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,040 Speaker 1: come the second half of the season, to be healthy, 720 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:19,160 Speaker 1: playing well. I'm ready for the playoffs. Whether that's you're 721 00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,960 Speaker 1: in you know, you know, in the fifth position or 722 00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:25,160 Speaker 1: third position, it doesn't matter. I don't think to the Lakers, 723 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,160 Speaker 1: they just want to be healthy playing their best basketball 724 00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:32,719 Speaker 1: going into the playoffs. Any issue with Anthony Davis Dwight 725 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:36,319 Speaker 1: Howard having a little shoving match, what depends on what 726 00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,520 Speaker 1: it was about. Really if it was more than that 727 00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,440 Speaker 1: for that to escalate over one play, you can question 728 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,719 Speaker 1: to say, did it really just escalate over you didn't 729 00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,920 Speaker 1: switch on the backside or is it something there? We 730 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,239 Speaker 1: don't know. We have to keep our eye on it, 731 00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,799 Speaker 1: but not now players get into it. You hate to 732 00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,920 Speaker 1: see it Dan on the sideline. Now, guys getting into 733 00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,799 Speaker 1: it and arguments, pushing matches in practice and stuff all 734 00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:03,360 Speaker 1: the time. But when it plays out on national TV 735 00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:07,120 Speaker 1: on the bench with those two players, that's when you know, 736 00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,520 Speaker 1: all eyes are like, okay, what's the real issue? And 737 00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:13,280 Speaker 1: sometimes it may be something as simple as a miscommunication, 738 00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,600 Speaker 1: or sometimes it give me some other little thing growing. 739 00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:21,920 Speaker 1: So hopefully that's not the case, but it's not something 740 00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,920 Speaker 1: that's an anomaly to professional sports. He's Jim Jackson, former 741 00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:29,680 Speaker 1: NBA great. He is a Clippers analyst also Fox analyst. 742 00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:33,160 Speaker 1: What did you make of Paul George talking to Steph 743 00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:37,320 Speaker 1: Curry and saying during the game, hey, let me shoot 744 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 1: one from the logo? All let you shoot one from 745 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:43,520 Speaker 1: the logo and step they pick it up on microphones. Yeah, 746 00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:47,640 Speaker 1: and Steph shoots the three from the logo and makes it. 747 00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:51,279 Speaker 1: Don't post the bear, just leave that one along. I mean, 748 00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:53,400 Speaker 1: some things you know Steph is gonna do. And I 749 00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:56,239 Speaker 1: think Paul was, you know, challengeing from the perspective because 750 00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,000 Speaker 1: he's rolling at the time. You know the Clippers are 751 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:02,279 Speaker 1: coming back. But it's some things. It's just like now 752 00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,600 Speaker 1: now when when actually played against Mike, it's some things 753 00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,719 Speaker 1: I would say and talk, you know, and then you 754 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:09,360 Speaker 1: know he'd give you that looking next to you know, 755 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,080 Speaker 1: he goes off and that's Steph too. Steph may not 756 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,840 Speaker 1: look intimidating, Steph may not talk a lot of stuff, 757 00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,799 Speaker 1: but you put him in that situation, Dan, he's gonna 758 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:19,279 Speaker 1: make you pay for what he did. I mean, I 759 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,800 Speaker 1: don't know if it was the next play he stepped 760 00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:25,520 Speaker 1: to the logo and knocked it in. But why would 761 00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:30,239 Speaker 1: you say something to Michael Jordan kim Well, I mean 762 00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,480 Speaker 1: because you know, at the time you didn't care. I mean, 763 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:34,640 Speaker 1: you were competing, you know what I mean. You know, listen, 764 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:36,759 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, Mike, if he gives 765 00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:38,800 Speaker 1: you fourty or fifty, so what he didn't did that 766 00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,680 Speaker 1: to everybody? I mean at the end of the day. 767 00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:45,279 Speaker 1: I mean, so it's like, I mean, we were we 768 00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,160 Speaker 1: were going back at it when I was in New Jersey. 769 00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:51,239 Speaker 1: We had beat them myself, Sam Cassell, and that's why 770 00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:53,799 Speaker 1: John Keller period of the coach would beat them in 771 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,360 Speaker 1: Jersey and they were hot. So we came back to 772 00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:59,359 Speaker 1: Chicago and played and we were drawing back and forth 773 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,600 Speaker 1: the whole time, I mean, just going at it. And 774 00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:07,200 Speaker 1: after the game, Joe Klein we're walking into the line. 775 00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,440 Speaker 1: He said, Man, leave my young fellow alone, and Mike said, no, 776 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:11,920 Speaker 1: j James, but that's my guy. But tell him that's 777 00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:21,480 Speaker 1: why he's wearing my shoes Mike and dropped. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 778 00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:23,359 Speaker 1: you know what. I kept wearing it for the rest 779 00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,480 Speaker 1: of the year or two. Dad. I didn't take him all. Yeah, 780 00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:30,359 Speaker 1: am Mike k that kind of mic drop definitely. Yeah. 781 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:32,319 Speaker 1: I did have thirty three though that game, so I 782 00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:34,799 Speaker 1: can't We lost, but I helped them all for at 783 00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:38,040 Speaker 1: least one game. I'm trying to figure this out. With 784 00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:42,600 Speaker 1: Steve Nash's approach, he said that James Harden has unfairly 785 00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,200 Speaker 1: been the poster child of some of these rule changes. 786 00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:49,120 Speaker 1: With non basketball moves. He says he's still getting found 787 00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:52,759 Speaker 1: but feels the refs are hyper aware with them. When 788 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:57,399 Speaker 1: Harden has the ball and He's at the time shot 789 00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:01,719 Speaker 1: only nine free throws. Didn't Steve Nash, you know, wasn't 790 00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,000 Speaker 1: he the one that said something about Trey Young and 791 00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,480 Speaker 1: that's not basketball the moves that he has. And now 792 00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:09,400 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, James Harden's not getting these calls. 793 00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:11,400 Speaker 1: What do you make of this? Which ll Trey is 794 00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:15,200 Speaker 1: not on his team. That's why you say it's hardness. 795 00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,680 Speaker 1: Of course you gotta go to bat, you know, for 796 00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:21,240 Speaker 1: your player. But listen, it isn't And for years James 797 00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,239 Speaker 1: has been able to get away to staff. Is not 798 00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:25,920 Speaker 1: shooting the same amount of free throws. Um, I don't 799 00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:29,000 Speaker 1: think Luca or Trey Young this year right now shooting 800 00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:30,960 Speaker 1: the same amount of free throws because they got to 801 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,960 Speaker 1: make an adjustment. The rules were in one way. As 802 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,840 Speaker 1: a pro you make the adjustment. I remember they remember 803 00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,640 Speaker 1: the hand checking rule came in and that was such 804 00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:43,520 Speaker 1: a different way of playing defense than we were taught. 805 00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:47,160 Speaker 1: It took time for the really great defensive players to 806 00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:49,640 Speaker 1: adjust and they didn't like it. They were picking up files. 807 00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,400 Speaker 1: That was what they were accustomed to, and no matter 808 00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,520 Speaker 1: what their reputation was about being a great defensive player, 809 00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:59,040 Speaker 1: they were still getting foul call, but eventually they were 810 00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:02,560 Speaker 1: able to fig you're out that fine line in between 811 00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:04,239 Speaker 1: of how to bid in that rule a little bit. 812 00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:07,880 Speaker 1: And I do believe that the players that are accustomed 813 00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:10,719 Speaker 1: to get into the line drawing those fouls, once they 814 00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,359 Speaker 1: play more games and figure out how the officials are 815 00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,960 Speaker 1: calling it, we'll be able to make it just what. 816 00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,560 Speaker 1: You can't be mad now because for so long you've 817 00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:20,239 Speaker 1: been getting way with a lot of stuff. But I 818 00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:23,160 Speaker 1: getting a lot of foules there probably weren't foules. So 819 00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:26,000 Speaker 1: the tendency is to complain about it a little bit. 820 00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,600 Speaker 1: But pros will be pros and they'll figure it out. 821 00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,440 Speaker 1: This was a conversation that was brought up on this 822 00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:36,120 Speaker 1: show when Zion and John Morant coming into the NBA 823 00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,480 Speaker 1: and then we saw them playing, and I remember being 824 00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,480 Speaker 1: asked by one of my guys, you know, who would 825 00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:44,440 Speaker 1: you take, And I said, well, I would take John 826 00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:48,360 Speaker 1: Morant the basketball player. I take Zion as the draw 827 00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:52,279 Speaker 1: because I you know, Zion's gonna people come out to 828 00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,160 Speaker 1: see them. But I think John Morant is the better 829 00:43:55,239 --> 00:44:00,279 Speaker 1: basketball player long term because of Zion that weight, he 830 00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:04,319 Speaker 1: you know, he's coming off foot surgery. Now, I mean yeah, 831 00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:08,719 Speaker 1: and he's close to three hundred pounds. I know it's 832 00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:10,720 Speaker 1: easy to make the call down and say John Morant, 833 00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:16,360 Speaker 1: but I don't know about Zion bigger picture here, and 834 00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,680 Speaker 1: you know, how long can he stay at a reasonable 835 00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,560 Speaker 1: way healthy? Yes, exactly. Yeah. Well, but you know, there's 836 00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:24,880 Speaker 1: a lot of people that are right now patting themselves 837 00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:26,680 Speaker 1: on the back that said at the time that they 838 00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,360 Speaker 1: would have taken Job Morant. But it's all relative to 839 00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:32,120 Speaker 1: the team situation in New Orleans. They needed that draw, 840 00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:34,799 Speaker 1: you know. Okay, at the time they had Lonzo Ball 841 00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:37,040 Speaker 1: who was running the point, who they thought in their 842 00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:40,640 Speaker 1: mind was very complimentary to the team that they had 843 00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:47,080 Speaker 1: because you know, if this passing ability and John, I mean, 844 00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,600 Speaker 1: if Zion, if all things were equal, he's healthy, that's 845 00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,040 Speaker 1: kind of a wart in the generation type of player, 846 00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,040 Speaker 1: you know. And that's not taking anything from job because 847 00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,319 Speaker 1: you can kind of find a Job Morant in a 848 00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:01,520 Speaker 1: draft and find a player that could be similar from 849 00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:04,560 Speaker 1: a skill set, from a scoring perspective. You got gonna 850 00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:08,840 Speaker 1: find a Zion Williams. You're just not okay now, you 851 00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,760 Speaker 1: want him to be healthy? Now, looking back at it all, 852 00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:14,240 Speaker 1: I told you so what, No, you didn't because nobody 853 00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:18,280 Speaker 1: can predict somebody's health. Now, they did have some cautuing, 854 00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:22,480 Speaker 1: some warning signs to say that his weight would become 855 00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:26,239 Speaker 1: an issue if he doesn't handle it, and up to 856 00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:29,440 Speaker 1: this point he's not been able to do that, hence 857 00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:31,520 Speaker 1: not been on the court in job right now has 858 00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:37,080 Speaker 1: prospered and looks like the better player long term because 859 00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:39,680 Speaker 1: he's been on the court. Yeah, I love John Oh, 860 00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:41,520 Speaker 1: I have, well, I had the other day, but against 861 00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:44,560 Speaker 1: the Clippers, I mean, he's unbelievable. You know. The thing 862 00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:47,640 Speaker 1: about it is his level of maturity of understand I 863 00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:50,880 Speaker 1: think it could kind of him like Dame Livard, like 864 00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:54,960 Speaker 1: he CJ McCollums, small school, Steph Curry then and now 865 00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:58,319 Speaker 1: job for them to be able to mature over three 866 00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:02,520 Speaker 1: or four year period, Okay, in school, learn the ins 867 00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:07,200 Speaker 1: and outs, um, kind of grow their games, become one 868 00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:11,120 Speaker 1: of those UM. I think from a leadership perspective, they 869 00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:15,000 Speaker 1: learned how to lead, okay during their time, so when 870 00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,640 Speaker 1: they came into the league, they were a little bit 871 00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,440 Speaker 1: more mature, a little bit more game ready, and that 872 00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:24,040 Speaker 1: second year for them, you saw this big jump because 873 00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:28,600 Speaker 1: of that maturity. Now in college at unions, I know, Dan, 874 00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:31,680 Speaker 1: if you're a senior, you're washed up. They look at 875 00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:34,319 Speaker 1: you like you know, you're not gonna grow anymore. But 876 00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:37,320 Speaker 1: I beg to differ because if you look at job 877 00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:39,759 Speaker 1: and there's out sending ability, but it's in this is 878 00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:42,880 Speaker 1: in between here where he's really grown. Now he's shooting 879 00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:45,120 Speaker 1: the jump shot a lot. Better to be tough, man. 880 00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:49,000 Speaker 1: I think your last year you played thirteen games with 881 00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:53,439 Speaker 1: the Lakers. No I sat, I was there. You didn't 882 00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:56,880 Speaker 1: get to play. He was there? Did you? Did you 883 00:46:56,960 --> 00:47:01,160 Speaker 1: keep your jersey from that last season with the Lakers? Honestly, 884 00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:03,719 Speaker 1: you know the twenty four I have because my mom 885 00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:05,640 Speaker 1: mights be collected. I probably would have threw it away, 886 00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:08,160 Speaker 1: just knowing me, just because I didn't blake. But no, 887 00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,160 Speaker 1: I kept it because it was I mean, being part 888 00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:13,200 Speaker 1: of the organization of course of the Lakers. And you know, 889 00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:15,160 Speaker 1: I gotta say that you talked about being in the 890 00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:17,120 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. You know my jerseys up there hanging 891 00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:28,480 Speaker 1: in the rafters right now, which one twenty four. So 892 00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,960 Speaker 1: so my third team was was was well utilized while 893 00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:35,359 Speaker 1: I was there? Okay, you know, all right, So you're 894 00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:40,399 Speaker 1: taking credit for Kobe's twenty four. Um uh yeah, I'm 895 00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:44,480 Speaker 1: taking you know. You know, it was funny though coming 896 00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:46,400 Speaker 1: into the year. This is what I heard though coming 897 00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:49,000 Speaker 1: into the year he wanted to change from eight to 898 00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:52,839 Speaker 1: twenty four, but that he had waited too late because 899 00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:55,200 Speaker 1: you know, they had already began to market the number eight. 900 00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:58,640 Speaker 1: So that's why the following year he had ended up 901 00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:00,520 Speaker 1: going to twenty four, and I I was able to 902 00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:03,160 Speaker 1: get it while I was there, so I'm still will 903 00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:05,879 Speaker 1: take credit for it. Hey, great to great to talk 904 00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:08,400 Speaker 1: to you, and we'll check in with you during the season. 905 00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:10,520 Speaker 1: Thank you. Jim, you a head of go bucks man. 906 00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:12,280 Speaker 1: All right, that's Jim Jackson.
