And is Frank Vogel once again coaching 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:11.040 for his future tonight against the Pacers. That's a tune 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:14.120 in factor. Hey tune in and see if Frank Vogel 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:18.360 gets through the game without getting fired. Here can't wait 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:22.800 for the postgame news conference. Pacers Lakers Grizzlies Bucks, I'll 0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:27.160 sample that and my calves take on the Chicago Bulls 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:29.880 seventy six ers. I think got a trade offer. I 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:31.960 don't know if it's worth You know, sometimes when you 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:33.960 make an offer on a house, or somebody makes an 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:37.120 offer on your house, and then you don't even respond. No, 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:39.880 it's like it's not even worth responding to you. But 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:44.240 you know you're gonna get some teams that are gonna go, hey, 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:47.840 how about this, Hey you want to move Ben Simmons, 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:52.880 We'll give you this. I found out yesterday that I'm 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:55.799 curious if the Nets would be willing to trade James 0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:58.519 Harden to Philadelphia. And I talked to an NBA source 0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:01.040 works for the NBA office, So he said, are you 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:04.880 hearing anything about hardened for Ben Simmons? And he said no, 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:10.359 And I said, it feels like Kd's injury might keep 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:12.760 him out till after the All Star break. And my 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:15.360 sort of said, yes, that this might be a little 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:18.240 bit worse than the Nets are leading on. Not that 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:21.119 it's serious enough to shut him down, it's just they're 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:23.160 not going to try to rush him back prior to 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:25.639 the All Star break. Be after the All Star break 0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:28.239 but it was I think four to six weeks with 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:30.640 that injury there. But that's all I have for you, 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:35.120 NBA wise, But trade deadline coming up and we'll see. 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:38.000 You know, normally you just get these, you know, these 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:42.280 trades that happen. You go, wait, who's Bryn Forbes And 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:45.840 he got traded? Like it feels like Evan Fournier gets 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:48.839 traded just about every year the trade deadline. Like they're 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:51.480 just certain players where you go, You're like Bull Bowl. 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:53.520 He was going to get traded to one team and 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:55.680 then that didn't happen, and he got traded I think 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:58.880 to another team. You rarely get those, you know, we 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:01.600 would always build this up. Hey, trade deadline, I'm here 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:05.440 and you know, having a countdown clock. Sources close to 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:07.680 me tell me and then you go, what happened at 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:13.200 the trade deadline? Evan Fournier and Bryn Forbes got traded. 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:19.080 But we'll talk to Sam Amock. He writes for The Athletic. 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:21.960 He's been covering the Lakers situation and came out with 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:25.640 the report that Frank Vogel was actually coaching for his 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:30.160 job on Monday night and they got that win. I'm 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:34.880 guessing he's still coaching for his job tonight against the Pacers, 0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:37.120 and then you got a long road trip coming up. 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:40.840 I get if you're gonna fire him. Firing I mean, 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:43.560 he's not Red Arbach here, he's not Greg Popovich, he's 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:46.240 not Phil Jackson here. But be fair to him. You 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:48.680 gave him a roster and you go, hey, I can 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:51.080 have the greatest chef in the world. And if I 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:54.400 give him, you know, spam and I go, hey, can 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:57.799 you create a masterpiece here? You know the Lakers are spam. 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:02.760 No service. You can dress it up a little bit, 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:07.279 it's still spam. But you know that's where I can't 0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:10.640 see what's happening with Frank Vogel. That is it going 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:15.520 to change this team dramatically? No. Frank Vogel is known 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:18.160 as a defensive minded head coach in Orlando. He was 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:20.719 very good defensive coach. Well, he's got a team that 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:23.760 doesn't play defense. I don't know if they can or 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:27.920 they just don't want to. Nobody want. Everybody I think 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:30.440 was on board and saying what are you doing bringing 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:34.120 in Russell Westbrook? Well, Lebron wanted that to happen. If 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:39.880 Lebron doesn't want Frank Vogel then Frank Vogel's gone, I'm 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:41.560 gonna guess he's got that power. If he had the 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:45.120 power to get Russell westbrook in, is that going to change? 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:48.520 You know the rotations that Frank Vogel has, And we 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:52.159 get caught up in who's playing center. Well, DeAndre Jordan 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:55.359 can't play and Dwight Howard can't play, not at a 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:59.760 high level, and you know you're gonna try to put 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:02.400 the him in the lineup. It's just a mess when 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:05.160 you watch him play because you still have Lebron playing 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:08.120 at a high level. Anthony Davis, this is who Anthony 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:12.160 Davis is. He can give you Yannis type numbers and 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:15.599 then he disappears or he gets injured, and then you 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:19.000 got Russ. I mean Russ giveth and taketh away like 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:22.920 no other player because he can beat you, and he 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:27.200 can beat the Lakers. But he has taken away more 0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:30.720 than he's been giving. We'll have more on that coming up. 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:33.560 Eight seven seven three d P Show email address DP 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:36.520 at dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle at the dp's show. 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:39.840 First round of the playoffs concluded Monday nights, and now 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:42.840 we have eight teams. Now it's on a level playing 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:45.520 field because there are two teams left that don't have 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:49.560 elite quarterbacks, the Titans and the forty nine Ers. Both 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:53.400 teams can rush the quarterback, they can run the football, 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:56.120 and that's great for the regular season. That might make 0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:59.240 it difficult to score enough points when you're facing Joe 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:01.520 Burrow in the bank was Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:04.400 Those will be the matchups for those respective teams. But 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:08.600 the Niners and Titans have talented rosters, and these are 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:10.960 the kind of teams where I mean, the Niners are 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:15.960 very physical and that's the type of team that can travel. 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:18.080 You know, when you run the football, you get after 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:19.880 the passer. I don't know if Boss is going to 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:22.880 be healthy enough, and you got the Jimmy g factor, 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:26.320 But can you win a Super Bowl without a top 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:29.360 tier quarterback? Now, what's happened before? Of course, Nick Foles 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:32.360 did it, you know, Peyton Manning led the Broncos to 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:36.240 a win over the Panthers. Jimmy Garoppol almost did it, 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:40.240 so it can be done. But it's really hard to 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:43.520 have a quarterback who's not elite quarterback to string together 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:48.480 three consecutive wins. And that's what we'll be asking those 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:51.280 quarterbacks with the Titans and the forty nine ers. Yeah. 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:53.800 Point that is called the alleged of Nick Foles where 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:56.040 you beat Tom Brady and a shootout in the super Bowl, 0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:57.920 but you're not even close to a Hall of Famer. 0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:00.400 You made like one problem the legend Nick Foles being 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:03.120 that kind of quarterback. And we were also wondering the 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:06.320 teams that have already bowed out of the playoffs, who 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:12.600 has the best chance of advancing next year? Advancing to where, well, 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:15.240 you get past the first round, you get past your 0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:18.239 first game, because the Raiders, if you look at the Raiders, 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:22.280 I love the talent they have, you know, car Josh Jacobs, 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:27.840 Darren Waller, Hunter Renfro, Max Crosby in Gackway, Like they 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:31.440 have some talent there. They haven't drafted that well. Now, 0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:34.839 Mike mayonk's out your coach. You're probably getting a new one. 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:38.840 But you're still playing the Chargers in the Chiefs and 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:42.280 Denver is going to get better. Like Denver's sneaky. I 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:44.760 think Denver is now you got to get your quarterback. 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:47.400 Get your quarterback. Denver is a team that can be 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:50.560 a playoff team next year. Yeah, it's like you just 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:53.200 add a couple of pieces with the Raiders. Yeah, but 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:55.840 I don't know what you're able to get the Let's 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:58.120 start with the coach. Do you want to keep Derek Carr? 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:02.480 And you play in a tough division? And the Patriots? Okay? 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:05.160 Are the Patriots gonna be good enough to get to 0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:10.640 the Buffalo Bills level next year? You got unrestricted free 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:13.880 agents like J. C. Jackson who's been very good, Uh, 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:17.840 Dante high Tower, You're gonna keep them? And do you 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:21.040 have enough offense here to keep up with the Buffalo Bills? 0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:26.640 The Eagles? The Eagles have three first round picks. I 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:29.000 guess that makes it a little easier to get to 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:31.920 the playoffs. And you're in the NFC East And are 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:35.800 you sold on Jalen Hurts Donald's Cowboys? This was supposed 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:38.760 to be your year and you're probably gonna lose Kellen 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:43.600 Moore and or Dan Quinn. You're offensive and defensive coordinators 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:45.840 and you have no salary capri. You're gonna have to 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:51.199 You're gonna have to probably call on some veteran contracts 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:53.320 here and say we're not gonna We're not gonna resign you, 0:09:54.000 --> 0:10:02.400 um Pittsburgh Steelers U. It may not matter who's quarterbacking. 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:06.959 Because the Bengals Bengals are there, I expect the Ravens 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:09.680 to rebound and the Browns can't be worse than what 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:14.000 they were Pittsburgh without Ben. I mean, you can get 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:17.520 an upgrade there, but the question is who are you 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:21.240 going to get? Mason Rudolph is not your answer. Then 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:24.719 you have the Arizona Cardinals. Cliff Kingsbury came out and said, well, 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:30.920 we didn't have playoff experience did the Bengals. Bengals had 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:37.320 less playoff experience? So I don't buy that. Are you 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:41.520 sold on Cliff Kingsbury? And I'd start with that. You 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:44.640 got an MVP candidate and Kyler Murray, but he struggled there. 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:49.520 The defense was not good the last seven games of 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:53.920 the season, allowing at least twenty two points. But you 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:58.040 have maybe some turnover in Seattle, the Rams should still 0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:01.160 be good and the Niners, which Trey Lance, if he 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:04.320 lives up to expectations, that could even be an upgrade there. 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:09.000 But Arizona's got some questions and those are tough questions 0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:12.400 to answer because you know, I think we gave Kyler 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:14.680 Murray a Hall pass with that performance. That's one of 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:18.760 the worst playoff performances in recent memory for a team 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:24.319 and a quarterback. If Baker Mayfield turned in the performance 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:30.040 that Kyler Murray did, we would be killing him. Nobody 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:34.880 is saying anything about Kyler Murray. It's about Cliff Kingsbury. 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:37.840 It's like Dak Prescott didn't play well. Who are we 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:43.199 talking about, Mike McCarthy. Yeah, Lebron had a game like that. 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:49.000 Playoffs boom unlikely. But you know, yeah, that's true. We're 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:50.920 very unlikely to have a game like that in the 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:56.720 NFL playoffs. Uh, who's doing pull question responsibilities today? Polly? 0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:59.520 I think I got it. Okay, I feel decent about it. Okay, 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:02.160 we have one issue. Let me get the poll an issue. 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:05.959 Fritzie wrote one best quarterback of the remaining playoff teams 0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:08.960 right now? Like who's the best quarter currently playing? Like 0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:12.000 how they're playing right now? He put Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, 0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:15.959 Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers. He left off Matthew Stafford. 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:19.160 I don't think that was on purpose or by accident. Well, 0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:22.160 what do you mean by best quarterback right now? Who's 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:25.640 playing the best? Okay, when Matthew Stafford didn't do anything. 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:27.600 Should he be on the list though he is in 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:30.400 the playoffs? Yeah, but it's based on what they're how 0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:37.280 they're playing now. So I Todd explain this. I left Tannehill, 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:40.199 Jimmy g and Stafford off because I don't think they 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:44.040 belong on this particular poll as of this moment who's 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:46.120 playing the best? And I think the other five have 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:47.880 a right to be on it. Those three should not 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:52.840 be included. But you're putting Matthew Stafford in with Jimmy 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:56.560 Ge and Ryan Tannehill. Unfortunately he gets lumped in with 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:59.400 the other two. I'm not ranking those three, but I 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:01.160 think on what kind of keep it to a top five? 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:03.840 And I think Stafford and miss is that group. Well 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:08.240 by not ranking them, you're ranking them right kind of. Um, 0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:11.520 So the who's playing the best? I don't I don't 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:15.080 know what that means. Josh Allen was incredible. Ye he's 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:17.200 winning this one. So is it just one? We're basing 0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:20.960 this off one game? Yeah? Okay, Josh Allen threw a 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:24.120 perfect game against the Patriots. I mean, Josh Allen had 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:28.959 one of the great games in playoff history. Patrick Mahomes 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:32.440 didn't have a good first quarter, but he did have 0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:36.880 five touchdowns in about ten minutes. That hasn't happened before. 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:43.280 Rogers didn't play last week, Brady was Brady, and Joe 0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:48.199 Burrow was was really good, really good. Um, so I'd 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:52.000 say Josh Allen just based off what happened against the Patriots. There, 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:53.920 we're gonna go with the pole. Basically, you created a 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:56.800 couple of minutes ago which losing playoff team will advance 0:13:56.920 --> 0:14:02.560 further or farther, not sure which one next year, Raiders, Patriots, Eagles, Cowboys, Steelers, 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:11.360 Cardles further. Who do I think advances further farther? Yeah, 0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:14.599 I'll ask ad word or that it covers the Cowboys. 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:18.120 Does he think the Cowboys will advance further farther than 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:22.240 anybody on this list? You're asking Farther is for physical distance, 0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:27.400 further is for figurative distance. So this is farther because 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:31.120 now this should be further further because it's not actual distance, 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:34.600 but it's actual distance next year that they go into 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:37.240 the second round of the playoffs, so you're you're going 0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:39.840 to a distance of an extra week. But right, so 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:42.840 I think that would be figurative distance, wouldn't it not 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:46.040 like actual physical distance? Would be like the Raiders are 0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:50.160 gonna go two point five miles further than But you, Patree, 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:53.520 are going to move into the second round figuratively going 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:58.560 to move like you if you win your first round, 0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:03.000 you have to move on to then go maybe play somebody. Figuratively, yes, 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:07.800 hold on, let me talk to the guy who finished 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:12.320 second in his graduating class. Seton has it right? It's 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:14.600 like we're not talking about of measurement. It's not meters 0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:17.440 or yarns. Then you know we're talking about advancing to 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:20.000 rounds of the playoffs. To me, I agree with seeing that. 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:25.120 Will the Cowboys be moving on physically to the second round? 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:27.680 They have to physically go somewhere in the second round, Yes, 0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:31.160 you're moving on to the second round, but there's no 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:37.280 ruler involved, there's distance. Yeah, you're you have to physically. 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:40.840 Let's say that Cowboys one, then they would have to 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:45.280 go to Tampa. Physically you would move on to the 0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:50.440 second or they would travel to that area. However, figuratively 0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:54.040 it's representing the second. Is this then new pole question 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:57.840 further farther? Oh no, because I look, I barely graduated. 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:02.280 Paulie and I with the model sees get degrees ye. Yeah, 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:04.440 look at how much fun we had and how much 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:07.560 fun Todd didn't have. You know, you got straight a's 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:12.400 and lived with his mom, Paul Paulie and I barely 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:15.760 got SS. Yes, Dan, I'm actually more educated than most 0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:17.240 people because I went to college for five and a 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:20.040 half years. That's a lot of learning. And we fixed 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:22.000 the pole question which team's gonna do a lot better 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:26.240 next year? And we can't do that? You can't ask 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:28.280 Have you ever done that? When you're talking to somebody 0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:30.400 and you're trying to use a word, then you realize 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:32.200 you don't know how to pronounce the word, so you 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:34.560 just change the word. Yeah, I did that like a 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:36.960 week ago. I was trying to throw juxtapose in and 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:39.480 I think I had the wrong way to use it. 0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:41.920 I go, you know, if you if you juxta, if 0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:46.040 you compare the two things, did you juxtapose? Juxtapose? This 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:48.200 is not what you did. Let's take a break, Edward, 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:51.800 or we'll talk about the troubles with the Dallas Cowboys 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:55.560 and Dak Prescott issues and apology back after this and 0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:59.880 the Dan Patrick Show and now a message from Discover 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:03.160 about real rewards if you're a loyal credit card customer. 0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:06.040 You should be rewarded for your loyalty, preferably with something 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:09.280 you actually want, something you can actually use, something like 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:13.359 cashback match.

That's the one 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:19.760 we're going to give away. What do you have for me, Paulie? Okay, 0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:21.800 we posted this yesterday. We gave a heads up to 0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:25.040 Eddie Wurder and to Eddie Eddie Order he told me 0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:27.240 I can call him Eddie years ago. I don't believe 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:30.160 the first second he made that up. O Peter Schreeger later. Okay, 0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:32.399 here's the question I post on the twitters yesterday. Okay, 0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:35.240 you can start your NFL team with any three defensive 0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:38.240 players all time, any combo positions. It doesn't have to 0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:41.000 be you know, the players you pick stay healthy for 0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:44.840 their entire career, and they're not on one team. It's anybody, anybody, 0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:47.880 any era, any player, any position. But you get three 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:51.320 and my picks were Reggie White, Lawrence Taylor, and Ed 0:18:51.400 --> 0:18:54.080 Reid and I got pretty good props for that. A 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:57.639 lot of people pick Dion Sanders as their defensive and 0:18:57.640 --> 0:18:59.920 we got lots of responses, Well, you can't go wrong 0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:03.320 with Reggie White and Lawrence Taylor. Those are unimpeachable, especially 0:19:03.320 --> 0:19:05.240 if Lawrence Taylor is going to stay healthy. That's true. 0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:09.199 That's true. Well, Ed Werder covered Dion Sanders, Ed joins us. 0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:13.439 Now you're three defensive players all time, you get him 0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:17.080 for their entire careers and they're healthy. Yeah, I'm gonna 0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:20.080 take the obvious two and say Lawrence Taylor, Reggie White, 0:19:20.080 --> 0:19:22.600 and I'm gonna go I thought about Ed Reid, I 0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:25.359 thought about Dion Sanders, but I'm gonna take Charles Woodson 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:30.240 because he could play corner and safety and in addition 0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:34.400 to intercepting passes, he rushed the quarterback and got sacks 0:19:34.440 --> 0:19:38.560 at an unusually high rate for defensive back. Okay, how 0:19:38.600 --> 0:19:43.399 great was Dion? Dion was great. I mean he was 0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:46.080 He could play offense defense, He returned the ball on 0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:48.840 special teams. He was a unusual because it was a 0:19:48.880 --> 0:19:51.520 defensive player with offensive instincts when he got the ball 0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:54.520 in his hand. And I mean you talk to guys 0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:56.679 like you know, Troy Aikman who played with him and 0:19:56.720 --> 0:20:00.560 against him. He was legitimately a guy who created question 0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:02.720 in the mind of a quarterback as to whether you 0:20:02.720 --> 0:20:04.879 were willing to challenge him on that side of the field. 0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:08.040 And the funniest thing I remember about Dion was kind 0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:10.560 of toward the end of his career in Dallas, there 0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:13.119 was a game on a Sunday where Peyton Manning and 0:20:13.200 --> 0:20:15.560 the Colts and Marvin Harrison. They threw at him an 0:20:15.560 --> 0:20:18.880 inordinate number of times, like ten times. And I had 0:20:18.920 --> 0:20:22.880 a previously scheduled sit down with Dion that next week, 0:20:23.160 --> 0:20:26.600 and so I asked him about this, and he said, Man, 0:20:27.000 --> 0:20:29.119 I ain't worried. I've been out there on that island 0:20:29.119 --> 0:20:33.399 longer than Gilligan. Eddie laughed, as you could imagine, and 0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:35.200 so did I. And as I was leaving the room 0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:38.560 a few minutes later, having finished the interview, he said, oh, man, 0:20:38.880 --> 0:20:41.160 And I'm like, I said what he said. I don't 0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:44.800 want to say that line for the playoffs. He was 0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:47.000 already thinking of what lines he wanted to use at 0:20:47.000 --> 0:20:52.040 the Super Bowl. League. Is Aaron Donald encroaching on Regie 0:20:52.119 --> 0:20:55.880 white territory here? Yeah, I mean absolutely. I think he's 0:20:55.920 --> 0:20:58.000 the most dominant defensive player in the league right now. 0:20:58.040 --> 0:21:00.480 It has been for you know, almost his entire career. 0:21:00.600 --> 0:21:03.600 So without question, he's the most fear defensive player in 0:21:03.640 --> 0:21:05.520 the NFL right now. But yeah, that's a great point. 0:21:05.680 --> 0:21:07.400 You don't I didn't really think of guys who are 0:21:07.400 --> 0:21:10.359 currently playing and I eliminated all the guys that I 0:21:10.440 --> 0:21:13.800 never saw myself, so you know, Deacon Jones and guys 0:21:13.840 --> 0:21:16.080 like that. I love the night Train Lane, those guys 0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:18.920 who might have merited consideration from a slightly older person, 0:21:18.960 --> 0:21:22.080 of which there are not many anymore. When we look 0:21:22.080 --> 0:21:24.960 at players now, though, with Trrell Davis getting in and 0:21:25.320 --> 0:21:28.520 being injured and having a six year career, can you 0:21:28.640 --> 0:21:32.679 be a Hall of Famer after four years, five years? 0:21:34.119 --> 0:21:35.520 I've never been a Hall of Fame voters, so I 0:21:35.560 --> 0:21:37.719 don't really know what the cutoff is, but I know 0:21:37.760 --> 0:21:40.640 that's a major consideration his longevity of career, although they've 0:21:40.880 --> 0:21:43.800 certainly made concessions not only for players but even coaches. 0:21:44.200 --> 0:21:46.280 You know, recently, I was one of the arguments against 0:21:46.359 --> 0:21:49.119 Jimmy Johnson was that he didn't coach long enough to 0:21:49.119 --> 0:21:51.320 tambar at him. I thought it was a ridiculous argument 0:21:51.320 --> 0:21:53.200 in his case, and I think it for the most part, 0:21:53.400 --> 0:21:58.600 longevity matters unless a player was just incredibly dominant and 0:21:59.080 --> 0:22:01.800 that led to champion ship performances where otherwise they would 0:22:01.800 --> 0:22:04.159 not have existed. So I think that's why Jimmy Johnson 0:22:04.320 --> 0:22:07.840 Threll Davis get exceptions. But if you like Aaron Donald, 0:22:08.600 --> 0:22:11.800 you win three Defensive Players of the Year and let's 0:22:11.840 --> 0:22:14.080 say a five year period or J. J. Watt wins 0:22:14.119 --> 0:22:17.960 three like, is that enough where the voters are going 0:22:18.040 --> 0:22:21.920 to go, that's an MVP, that that's a whole of five. 0:22:22.560 --> 0:22:24.160 I don't think. I don't think those guys are gonna 0:22:24.160 --> 0:22:26.199 have to win Super Bowls like most players would have 0:22:26.240 --> 0:22:29.280 to do. Because of the reason you decided, I mean, 0:22:29.359 --> 0:22:32.680 to dominate at your position on a team that wasn't 0:22:32.720 --> 0:22:35.400 good enough to get to a championship. I think says 0:22:35.400 --> 0:22:38.760 an awful lot about those players too. The biggest question 0:22:38.800 --> 0:22:47.120 in Dallas today is what well for a time, how 0:22:47.160 --> 0:22:50.480 are they going to rebound from this um? This was 0:22:50.560 --> 0:22:54.240 an epic disaster, even by their standards. Jerry Jones acknowledged 0:22:54.280 --> 0:22:57.840
