Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: Made it to a Wednesday in one piece, Actually there's
Speaker 2: five pieces. It's Fritzy, It's seat, and it's mar Paula
Speaker 2: yours truly, and then the back room guys as well.
Speaker 2: Come on in, stay a while if you can. Got
Speaker 2: a few headlines here, Mavericks at the Lakers, and the
Speaker 2: Lakers got the win, but the Lakers did not cover.
Speaker 2: The line was nine and nine. That's all I cared about.
Speaker 2: It was weird. I wanted to know, like, how inspired
Speaker 2: were the Lakers going to be and the Mavericks going
Speaker 2: to LA without Anthony Davis in uniform, and what was
Speaker 2: Luca going to do? So Luca didn't have a great
Speaker 2: night shooting, but you know he filled up every other category,
Speaker 2: had a triple double there. They win one O seven
Speaker 2: to ninety nine and the line was nine and a half.
Speaker 2: I just want to see the rest of the season,
Speaker 2: how much defense they'll play. It's weird to say when
Speaker 2: you have two of the greatest players with Luca and Lebron,
Speaker 2: they're going to mesh. They're going to work. They're going
Speaker 2: to work because Lebron will make this work. He's too talented,
Speaker 2: too smart to not make this work. But watching last
Speaker 2: night Luca deferred, you know you wasn't he didn't have
Speaker 2: a shot, and he wasn't hitting threes. But you know
Speaker 2: you have a triple double there, and you forget just
Speaker 2: how great a passer he is. Lebron is an all
Speaker 2: time great passer, but Luca is really good. It's just
Speaker 2: when you're scoring thirty three a game, you may not throw,
Speaker 2: you know, passes to your teammates. You know, as Jordan
Speaker 2: once said, why would I throw it to you when
Speaker 2: I have a better chance of making the shot? I mean,
Speaker 2: he actually did say that about his teammates. Why would
Speaker 2: I throw it to a wide open Judd Bushler when
Speaker 2: I might be double teamed. I like my chances better.
Speaker 2: But you know his fun last night. At one point,
Speaker 2: Luca mean mugs the Mavericks bench, which I don't understand
Speaker 2: unless they were chirping at him, but they were all
Speaker 2: lovey dovey pre game, and I'm, I mean, you want
Speaker 2: to mean mug, then do that when you go to
Speaker 2: Dallas in April, and then look for the GM Nico Harrison.
Speaker 2: If I'm Luca, I look for him and I give
Speaker 2: him a handshake and say thank you, thank you. You
Speaker 2: put me in one of the basketball capitals of the world,
Speaker 2: my brand. I got a chance to be the face
Speaker 2: of this franchise. It's fun. It's la thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2: I mean, Dallas is great and maybe that's his lifestyle,
Speaker 2: but I would be like, thank you. But last night
Speaker 2: it was fun. It was fun to watch just you know,
Speaker 2: sort of the I guess the body language going on.
Speaker 3: Yes, Marvin Nico Harrison was there last night, so maybe
Speaker 3: he was looking in the direction where Nico man have
Speaker 3: been sitting. Okay, so I did see him at the
Speaker 3: game last night. I don't know why he would be there,
Speaker 3: but hey.
Speaker 2: I'm going to give him credit to be, you know,
Speaker 2: front and center, like, Okay, yeah, we made this deal
Speaker 2: and I'm going to sit right here. But if if
Speaker 2: Luca is singling out the ga and mean mugging, I
Speaker 2: don't think you need to, like, let me remind you
Speaker 2: of how great I am. I don't know if Luca
Speaker 2: needs to do that. Now, you want to do that
Speaker 2: when you go to Dallas. I get that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Pauline, I'm not gonna go too much credit to Nico Harrison.
Speaker 4: He probably doesn't want to go to home games for
Speaker 4: a while, and he's like, I'll can hit the road
Speaker 4: a little bit.
Speaker 5: I want to get away from the home fans. They
Speaker 5: don't love me right now.
Speaker 2: Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America,
Speaker 2: the official trading cards of the program. Good morning if

Speaker 2: on how you can make your lawn look great. Seven
Speaker 2: to seven, three DP Show operator Tyler is sitting by.
Speaker 2: He'll take your phone calls. NFL Combine going on this
Speaker 2: week and yesterday. Coaches in GMS they had to answer
Speaker 2: questions well, they had to answer them in the best
Speaker 2: way they could answer them without really answering them, and
Speaker 2: you don't what we're so gullible as his sports society.
Speaker 2: We're just Jones and for anything, Hey, these coaches are
Speaker 2: going to talk about their draft, what they're going to
Speaker 2: do in the draft without really telling you what they're
Speaker 2: going to do in the draft. Are they gonna talk
Speaker 2: about the tush push without really saying too much about
Speaker 2: or maybe a player who may be on the trading
Speaker 2: block without really saying too much. But we sit there
Speaker 2: and we eat it all up, scoop it all up.
Speaker 5: It's like, oh my god, that's great.
Speaker 2: But it's one of those if you say, coming up
Speaker 2: on Sports Center, we'll sit down with Sean McDermott and
Speaker 2: he'll give his thoughts on the tush push, and then
Speaker 2: all of a sudden you have a question to Sean,
Speaker 2: you know, and he'll be like, hey, you know, it's
Speaker 2: a part of the game and whatever the league does
Speaker 2: and on whatever. And then you go, okay, alrighty, that
Speaker 2: was great. Like you don't even lit we're not even
Speaker 2: listening to the answers as much as the topic. Oh,
Speaker 2: Like I saw the topic again on Sports Center. Chador
Speaker 2: senders not throwing at the combine what's it mean for
Speaker 2: his draft status? Nothing, It doesn't mean anything. He'll do
Speaker 2: a pro day at Colorado. His dad gets all this attention.
Speaker 2: The wide receivers who are there at Colorado get some
Speaker 2: national attention. Come on, the players have the power. It's okay.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm surprised when it goes the other way.
Speaker 2: Cam Ward, I wouldn't be throwing. You want to do
Speaker 2: something where you know it's a controlled environment, you have
Speaker 2: your receivers, you get some attention for some players, your
Speaker 2: coaching stet whatever. But we make it a big deal
Speaker 2: because we allow it to be a big deal. We
Speaker 2: click on these stories and it's just silly. And I
Speaker 2: told you this was going to happen with Shudor Sanders.
Speaker 2: None of the first round quarterbacks last year threw at
Speaker 2: the combine. It didn't lead Sports Center. So I know
Speaker 2: we are gullible, we're easily led. But now there are
Speaker 2: times when I go, no, you're not going to get
Speaker 2: me on this one. And I spent eighteen years of
Speaker 2: my career trying to do this to you, Like, how
Speaker 2: do we get people to stay at Sports Center? I
Speaker 2: don't know, come up with a tease coming up on SportsCenter?
Speaker 2: You won't believe what Charles Barkley just did. And then
Speaker 2: he didn't do anything you like, I don't know, I
Speaker 2: didn't see the highlight yet. Yes, buy.
Speaker 4: What I love about the combine is when they ask
Speaker 4: a real direct question to a GM or coach and
Speaker 4: he has to ignore it, Like I'll give you example,
Speaker 4: you be the coach or you be the GM of
Speaker 4: the How about the Browns? Okay, Andrew Barry? Ye, Andrew Barry, Yes, yes,
Speaker 4: Paulie Andrew, what's the plan with Nick Chubb? What are
Speaker 4: you guys going to do to keep him or not
Speaker 4: keep him? In the off season? Man, do I love
Speaker 4: that guy? I really do.
Speaker 2: I mean, uh, you know when I think of a
Speaker 2: running back, I think of him, and he's really a
Speaker 2: special guy. And uh, you know, we we appreciate all
Speaker 2: the great things that he did for us.
Speaker 5: That said, what are your plans for?
Speaker 6: Wait?
Speaker 2: I thought I just said, didn't I just answer that
Speaker 2: without answering that When they say, man, I really love
Speaker 2: that guy, that guy's gone gone. Ye. Hey, what do
Speaker 2: you think of.
Speaker 4: Man when they start prematurely thanking him for everything they've
Speaker 4: done for a franchise? Okay, how about your Sean McVay. Okay, coach,
Speaker 4: what's the situation right now with Matthew Stafford and your
Speaker 4: plans for his future?
Speaker 2: Oh? Man, that's a great question, Paul, that really is.
Speaker 2: It's a great question. Stalling, stalling, stalling. I love him.
Speaker 2: I mean, you cannot write the history of the Rams
Speaker 2: without Matthew Stafford. I mean, hall of famer, hall of
Speaker 2: famer in every sense. Really, well, what are your family? Yeah,
Speaker 2: I just I love that.
Speaker 5: Guys, real quick, what are your plans?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know, my plans are to just
Speaker 2: make sure I appreciate every day, every moment I have
Speaker 2: with Matthew Stafford, because you know what, he's a special
Speaker 2: player and uh, you know, on and off the field.
Speaker 2: Did I mention that? Yeah? And you can't write the
Speaker 2: history of the Rams? Did I mention that too?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I really love him. Yes, John, It's.
Speaker 6: That tell when they say did when they're talking to
Speaker 6: past tens as opposed to and what he will be
Speaker 6: doing in the future. If you're already talking that in
Speaker 6: the prediate tents, is like that means that kind of
Speaker 6: closing the chapter.
Speaker 2: On this guy. Yeah, when you give me past tense,
Speaker 2: it just feels like like Nick Chubb. Let's be honest.
Speaker 2: Older got injured and maybe not affordable. See ya, that's it. Uh,
Speaker 2: what are your plans for Miles Garrett? Man? Now, if
Speaker 2: you say we're not taking phone calls, we don't want
Speaker 2: to hear from anybody. We are not trading him. We
Speaker 2: have no plans or no intentions. When you say that,
Speaker 2: that means you're open for business. They can say all
Speaker 2: the right things. This is February, late February. Let's wait
Speaker 2: till we get to April. Let's wait till we get
Speaker 2: to the draft. Teams are going to do their due
Speaker 2: diligence on all these draft picks, and then they're going
Speaker 2: to say, is that guy somebody that we can invest
Speaker 2: in as a first round pick and we don't have
Speaker 2: to pay him thirty million dollars? Miles Garrett is going
Speaker 2: to cost you that and then some and you got
Speaker 2: to give up draft picks. So I think you got
Speaker 2: to be fair to the teams in a situation like this.
Speaker 2: First of all, the GM is not going to tell
Speaker 2: you anything. Yeah, what do you guys plan on doing
Speaker 2: with the number one pick? Oh, I'm glad you asked.
Speaker 2: You know what we're taking Travis Hunter oh, I mean
Speaker 2: we could take Travis Hunter. Hey, how about And by
Speaker 2: the way, the NFL won't let you say what you're
Speaker 2: doing with the top pick, even though you may know
Speaker 2: who you're taking. Do you plan on playing Travis Hunter
Speaker 2: at defensive back and or a wide receiver? Well you
Speaker 2: can say, oh, I mean, if we take him, he's
Speaker 2: going to be a cornerback and we hope to use
Speaker 2: him as a wide receiver. But we're so hungry for football.
Speaker 2: It's only been a couple of weeks removed from the
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. We're already fixing. I need a fix. But
Speaker 2: it's still the combine and it takes up a week
Speaker 2: of our attention because there's nothing really else going on. Yes, Marvin, And.
Speaker 3: That's the beauty about being a sports fan, stuff like
Speaker 3: the combine in the NFL draft. If you're a fan
Speaker 3: of a team that's bad, you're thinking to yourself, Art,
Speaker 3: we can get better next year. So there's always hope
Speaker 3: no matter how bad your team is.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So for the past couple of months, the good
Speaker 2: teams have been playing, the bad teams are just sitting
Speaker 2: there going. Let me look at Mel Kuiper's latest mock
Speaker 2: draft here and see who we're getting because there's hope.
Speaker 2: You have hope right now in late February, you have hope,
Speaker 2: free agency coming up in a couple of weeks, the
Speaker 2: draft coming up, You've got hope. Even off season, the schedule,
Speaker 2: you got hope. And then all of a sudden reality
Speaker 2: sets in and it's middle of October and you go, damn,
Speaker 2: I thought we were going to be good. No, you're
Speaker 2: the Jets.
Speaker 4: Yes, Paulmy as a Bear fan, my season is February, March,
Speaker 4: and April.
Speaker 5: That's when I get to talk and chop it up
Speaker 5: and see what they're doing. Then it goes away.
Speaker 6: Yes, Ton, there's something about that fresh enthusiasm of a
Speaker 6: new head coach that doesn't have a record of any
Speaker 6: wins or losses just yet, where this is the time
Speaker 6: where you can get all excited about things until it
Speaker 6: starts going off the rails.
Speaker 2: Well it's a honeymoon. Oh she's wonderful. Oh I love
Speaker 2: her so much. Oh we were inseparable. We can't stand
Speaker 2: to be apart from one another. Then all of a
Speaker 2: sudden and starts and then all of a sudden things
Speaker 2: start to fall apart. Uh, all right, Seaton Poll question today,
Speaker 2: what are we going to start out with is the
Speaker 2: NFL combine still useful? Yes or no? It is because
Speaker 2: of the medicals and the interviews, And I'm going off
Speaker 2: what you know. My source says that what he gets
Speaker 2: from being in those interviews when you get the medicals,
Speaker 2: now you see how hot, you know, tall somebody is,
Speaker 2: you know how much they weigh. He doesn't get caught
Speaker 2: up in the forty but he does get He really
Speaker 2: focuses on the medical and he focuses on the interviewing process.
Speaker 5: Are you a dog or a cat?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yes, I've asked him. I said, do you ask
Speaker 2: stupid questions like that? And he goes no, because if
Speaker 2: I ask you if you would you rather be a
Speaker 2: dog or a cat? I don't care. I just want
Speaker 2: to know. Are you a football player? That's that's the
Speaker 2: most important thing. Are you a football player or a
Speaker 2: guy who play football? Andrews football players here? I asked
Speaker 2: Andrew luck that I asked him, and you know what,
Speaker 2: he he had a long pause because I always felt
Speaker 2: that he was a guy who was really good at football.
Speaker 5: Still pausing, still thinking, pondering, good question.
Speaker 2: DP, yeahs man, what else do you have there? See?
Speaker 7: I think we're going to combine for our one.
Speaker 6: OK.
Speaker 7: Well, there's another slight tweak on that, which is the
Speaker 7: NFL combine is great football filler or useless.
Speaker 2: And I still watch, well, I don't watch as much
Speaker 2: as I once did, but but it's only because I
Speaker 2: kind of figured out what I need to be aware
Speaker 2: of instead of gosh, did you see that offensive lineman
Speaker 2: from Auburn? I don't know what it means. And there's
Speaker 2: going to be a center, there'll be a guard, and
Speaker 2: there'll be a defensive tackle where we'll look back on
Speaker 2: the draft and you go, damn, that guy became an
Speaker 2: All Pro. But we don't care about that. I mean,
Speaker 2: we should care about it because look at what the
Speaker 2: Eagles did with a great offensive line and a great
Speaker 2: defensive line. But you know, the draft always, you know,
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about Travis Hunter, the quarterbacks, Ashton Genty,
Speaker 2: what the Cowboys do, Anybody trade up, anybody trade down?
Speaker 2: What trades happened prior to Matthew Stafford, Kirk d Cousins,
Speaker 2: Sam Darnold, How do they affected the draft? I mean,
Speaker 2: that's really what the presentation is going to be, at
Speaker 2: least that first night. Remember a couple of years ago
Speaker 2: when Schefty breathlessly was trying to tell us that, you know,
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers was going to be traded, and you had
Speaker 2: all of this programming about Aaron. I was like, Aaron Rodgers,
Speaker 2: He's not gonna be traded. But it was one of
Speaker 2: those where he had Adam I think had heard from
Speaker 2: somebody who had some information, and therefore, all of a
Speaker 2: sudden it became ESPN's programming. All it takes is one
Speaker 2: little thing like Laramie Tunsel and changes a draft. You know,
Speaker 2: somebody's rising, somebody's falling, and if you're you know you're
Speaker 2: carrying the draft. So ESPN is looking for those stories.
Speaker 2: They don't want predictability. They want to have something where
Speaker 2: somebody goes, oh my god, mel, what's your thought? That's
Speaker 2: what they want. You don't want this to go chalk
Speaker 2: where you go okay and then okay, you want to
Speaker 2: The New York Jets have traded up, yes, Tod.
Speaker 6: But that's part of the problem too. When we watch
Speaker 6: the combat, we get so reactionary in the moment. Just
Speaker 6: because someone runs a fast forty we already got them
Speaker 6: going to the Hall of Fame, or someone gets there
Speaker 6: he tied up. But they hit a cone by accent,
Speaker 6: that means they're going to be a bust and they
Speaker 6: have no chance of having a great NFL career. That's
Speaker 6: what's silly, because we're so fixated on every little number
Speaker 6: that that's going to determine their future in the pros.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank you, Jock, thank you. Now we can
Speaker 2: put a bow on this segment. Yes, exactly. We just
Speaker 2: tripped over the cone, Linda Cones, We just tripped over.
Speaker 6: Why'd you put cones out there?
Speaker 2: How about we take a break here. We're just getting
Speaker 2: started on this Wednesday back after this.

Speaker 2: A couple of NBA thoughts here. Luke, of course, the
Speaker 2: triple double. He now has eighty one career triple doubles,
Speaker 2: seventh most in NBA history. The Warriors beat the Hornets.
Speaker 2: Now I didn't care about this game. I did. I
Speaker 2: cared because I really like the Warriors. I like what
Speaker 2: they've done, and they're going to be They're gonna be
Speaker 2: a thing. They're going to be a force here. So
Speaker 2: they beat the Hornets and I thought, Okay, how bad
Speaker 2: do the Hornets lose? They lost one twenty eight to
Speaker 2: ninety two. The Hornets have lost their last three games
Speaker 2: by a combined one and thirty one points. That's the
Speaker 2: worst point differential in NBA history over a three game period. Congratulations,
Speaker 2: stat of the day. Stat of the day. That passed
Speaker 2: stat of the day.
Speaker 5: Stat of the day.
Speaker 2: Here comes that?
Speaker 5: What stat of the day.
Speaker 2: Also, the Grizzlies beat the Suns one for eight in overtime.
Speaker 2: The two hundred ninety nine combined points the most in
Speaker 2: the NBA game this season, but that didn't surpass the
Speaker 2: Nuggets and the Pistons back in the day in nineties.
Speaker 2: Is that eighty ninety eighties with Kelly Tripuka and John
Speaker 2: Long Isaiah the Nuggets? Dan Issel, Yes, Mark, I'm.
Speaker 3: Almost certain the score was like one. Okay, it was
Speaker 3: like an All Star game.
Speaker 2: But that was triple over a time. I think this
Speaker 2: was just one overtime?
Speaker 3: Yeah, just one?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, just one? All right? Got our pole. Question
Speaker 2: has to do with the combine seating. Would you give
Speaker 2: us the wording? Yeah?
Speaker 7: We got up there right now, is the NFL combine
Speaker 7: still useful?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 2: Or no?
Speaker 5: Okay?
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts? Well, let's go around the room, Todd.
Speaker 2: You think the combine is still useful, yes, yes, ish.
Speaker 7: Okay, seating I do, but not for the top end players. Okay,
Speaker 7: I think there's a lot of you know, the top
Speaker 7: ten percent. I absolutely do not need to be there.
Speaker 7: It's everybody else that Yeah, get those guys out there
Speaker 7: for sure, Marvin, how about you.
Speaker 3: I'm would seeing completely. It's for the small, small school guys,
Speaker 3: diamonds in.
Speaker 2: The rough, Paul.
Speaker 4: Not really for the teams, but yes, for the fan.
Speaker 4: It's nice filler. It's like spring training baseball in the background.
Speaker 2: And there will be a quarterback who will benefit by Shadoor,
Speaker 2: Sanders and cam Ward not throwing at the combine. And
Speaker 2: I think that's Jackson Dart out of Mississippi. And I
Speaker 2: do think that he is a first round talent. I
Speaker 2: think he's really good. And maybe it's a late first round,
Speaker 2: maybe it's second, but I think that he has the
Speaker 2: talent to start in the NFL. But you're going to
Speaker 2: have players who will benefit by some of the top
Speaker 2: end players not performing. Quinn Ewers I'm very curious about
Speaker 2: quinn yours. Is he healthy? I don't think he's throwing
Speaker 2: at the combine, or at least I haven't heard if
Speaker 2: he is. But just seems like we focused on the
Speaker 2: two top quarterbacks. And in case you're wondering, most of
Speaker 2: the experts will say the following. These two quarterbacks in
Speaker 2: this year's draft, cam Warden Shadoor Sanders would probably be
Speaker 2: the fifth or sixth quarterback in last year's draft. Just
Speaker 2: to give you an idea, we like to do this,
Speaker 2: where would they be? You know, are they better than
Speaker 2: bo Nicks? Are they better than JJ McCarthy. You know
Speaker 2: this is you know, talent evaluators will tell you that
Speaker 2: they're probably they probably would be the fifth or sixth
Speaker 2: best quarterback if they were in last year's draft. All right,
Speaker 2: let's run through some of the sound yesterday where the
Speaker 2: coaches we're talking to the media doing their best to
Speaker 2: not really say anything to the media, and there's some
Speaker 2: awkward situations. For instance, the Ravens. All of the questions
Speaker 2: had to do with Justin Tucker. And if you go
Speaker 2: to the podium and you're the GM or the coach
Speaker 2: and you're like, you know, we're evaluating this case by case,
Speaker 2: and you know we'll we have to make a decision
Speaker 2: coming up. You know, we we like Justin. He's been unbelievable.
Speaker 2: He's one of the greatest kickers in franchise history. These
Speaker 2: are troubling accusations, but you know, we were doing our
Speaker 2: own investigation and we should be wrapping up soon. And
Speaker 2: then you hope that the media doesn't follow up. You
Speaker 2: hope your first answer fends them off. But there was
Speaker 2: some really good reporting. Judy Bautista who works for NFL
Speaker 2: Network I believe, or she's also a writer for the
Speaker 2: New York Times dot com. Yes, she kept asking like
Speaker 2: why or how, which is a great question. That's a
Speaker 2: great question. I don't let you reload. So when the
Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns say, let's say, who do Cincinnati Bengals. So
Speaker 2: if you're talking to the Bengals head coach and he
Speaker 2: talks about the slow start and you know, we're going
Speaker 2: to try to make sure we get off to a
Speaker 2: fast start next year, how he's like, uh, you know,
Speaker 2: kind of urgency went why didn't that happen this last year?
Speaker 2: When you say something stupid like that, you deserve to
Speaker 2: be hung out to Dry. We're gonna we're gonna have
Speaker 2: to get off to a better start than last year. Really, yeah,
Speaker 2: it cost you the postseason. We know that it cost
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow an MVP season because you got off to
Speaker 2: the slow start when they lost to New England and
Speaker 2: we said that Monday. That's the kind of loss that
Speaker 2: comes back and haunts you. All right, So you have
Speaker 2: the Raven situation, the Colt situation. I have been closely
Speaker 2: monitoring because Anthony Richardson, a former Time five pick, feels
Speaker 2: like he's one in the building, one foot out of
Speaker 2: the building. It's one of those where if I say,
Speaker 2: what do you think of your quarterbacking situation? We love Anthony,
Speaker 2: we really do. We really a lot of tw young talent.
Speaker 2: We really really love him. Yeah, who's going to be
Speaker 2: your starting quarterback this year? Well, you know we're planning
Speaker 2: on Anthony Richardson, you know. But when they say it's
Speaker 2: an open competition, it's weird. When I heard the answer,
Speaker 2: I go, Matthew Stafford, that's the first thing I thought of.
Speaker 2: But if they've done this now it didn't work out,
Speaker 2: matt Ryan, Philip rivers like you're going to bring in
Speaker 2: an older quarterback. Stafford is better than those two quarterbacks
Speaker 2: were I think when they brought them in. But could
Speaker 2: they do that again? Because they do have talent, and
Speaker 2: you know, you look at they always seem like they're
Speaker 2: on the cusp of maybe making the play. They're kind
Speaker 2: of they're clothes. But if you had Matthew staffin first
Speaker 2: thing I thought of when they say it's an open competition,
Speaker 2: I get Matthew Stafford indoors. We won eight games last year, Okay,
Speaker 2: can he give me? Can you give me two more
Speaker 2: wins with Matthew Stafford? I think so. So that's the
Speaker 2: first thing I thought of with the Colts the Browns,
Speaker 2: they got a triple header, they got where do you
Speaker 2: want to start? Do you want to start with Nick Chubb? Nah?
Speaker 2: Do you want to start with Miles Garrett, Ding Ding Ding,
Speaker 2: Deshaun Watson? Well, you know, on second thought, I don't
Speaker 2: know if Deshaun Watson was brought up yesterday because this
Speaker 2: is about Miles Garrett. Now, Nick Chubb's not going to
Speaker 2: be with the Browns, and he's been a great running back,
Speaker 2: but Miles Garrett is a Hall of Famer right now.
Speaker 2: Andrew Berry, the Browns GM was asked about Miles Garrett.
Speaker 9: For us, you know, Miles is under contract. We love him. Uh,
Speaker 9: he's a good player. So for us, it's really as
Speaker 9: simple as that.
Speaker 10: You know, we.
Speaker 9: It's down envision a scenario where he's no longer remember
Speaker 9: the Cleveland Browns. He's you know, he's a franchise player
Speaker 9: for us, so we're gonna keep him in Cleveland.
Speaker 2: Unmovable, unmovable, Okay, I I of course he has to
Speaker 2: say unmovable. If he said, I don't know, you just
Speaker 2: said all of these things.
Speaker 7: That's why we are focused on keeping him here. And
Speaker 7: we want to do that unmovable, unmovable again. All of
Speaker 7: a sudden, his voice dispeed.
Speaker 5: Unmovable.
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, well where'd you go?
Speaker 2: Unmovable? But that's why here the you know, we want
Speaker 2: to do unmovable.
Speaker 11: Uh, Andrew, Pie to the faces, pie the face, all
Speaker 11: to the balls that Miles Garrett, excuse me if you
Speaker 11: treat him?
Speaker 2: Can we hit you in the nuts? Can we hit
Speaker 2: you with a flinch ball? Can we can we hit
Speaker 2: you in the face with the pie? Well? Do I
Speaker 2: get to you chew in the face with the face
Speaker 2: with a pie? If we don't, yes, you do unmovable.
Speaker 2: That'd be great, play it again, just just to hear
Speaker 2: that that, you know, trailing off.
Speaker 9: Unmovable for us, you know, Miles is under contract. We
Speaker 9: love him. Uh, he's a good player. So for us,
Speaker 9: it's really as simple as that.
Speaker 2: You know, we.
Speaker 9: Don't envision a scenario where he's no longer remember the
Speaker 9: Cleveland Browns. He's you know, he's a franchise player for us,
Speaker 9: so we're going to keep him in Cleveland.
Speaker 7: Unmovable, unmovable, unmovable.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he but he is saying, and look, I
Speaker 2: get what what has to happen here? I know that
Speaker 2: you you you have to prepare before you go, like,
Speaker 2: all right, they're gonna ask this. You know what are
Speaker 2: we saying? What's the company line here? But we don't
Speaker 2: envision huh? That that almost feels like, help us envision
Speaker 2: how we could trade Miles garin acually? What you're saying
Speaker 2: to the other teams, you know, we don't envision this,
Speaker 2: Well how about you envision this? Yeah, you know what.
Speaker 7: We couldn't even imagine a deal this great, that's how
Speaker 7: good it is. We couldn't even imagine something like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we didn't know somebody was gonna get this
Speaker 2: stupid and offer us all of this. We didn't envision this.
Speaker 2: Aaron Glenn, it's the new head coach of the Jets,
Speaker 2: and he says some of his players are upset. Aaron
Speaker 2: Rodgers is gone.
Speaker 12: I understand the reaction of the players, but I would
Speaker 12: say this, Every decision that me and moves make is
Speaker 12: to win, and to win now, so I understand it.
Speaker 12: But again, listen, that's not gonna be the last decision
Speaker 12: I made.
Speaker 11: Right.
Speaker 12: It's not that it's gonna upset some people, and that's okay, right,
Speaker 12: but as men, we talk about it, but make sure
Speaker 12: we keep it in the house that we're going to
Speaker 12: continue to do.
Speaker 2: Okay. He sounds like business man. I don't know if
Speaker 2: Aaron Glenn has a lighter side to him, but it
Speaker 2: certainly sounds like every time he goes to the podium,
Speaker 2: he's got an attitude. He wants you to know, I
Speaker 2: mean business.
Speaker 3: Yes, mar He sounds like that that type of parent
Speaker 3: that says, my house, my rooms.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is where men go to play. But he
Speaker 2: learned from Dan Campbell. He saw how it worked for
Speaker 2: Dan Campbell.
Speaker 1: CA.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, Tod.
Speaker 6: But that's what's weird, knowing what we know about the
Speaker 6: Jets to have that kind of attitude where the Jets,
Speaker 6: this nonsense is going to stop. We're going to get
Speaker 6: us where we've belonged. Yeah, they haven't been anywhere.
Speaker 7: Where they go since when? Like what does that mean exactly?
Speaker 7: You're the Jets, dude.
Speaker 2: But I like it. I like that he says that.
Speaker 2: I mean he has to say that. But you can
Speaker 2: talk tough. I want your team to play tough. I
Speaker 2: want you guys to find a quarterback, Like, you know,
Speaker 2: how about we make some moves here, Like you can
Speaker 2: tell me all you want to tell me. It's like
Speaker 2: Dan Campbell could tell me all he wanted to tell me.
Speaker 2: It didn't matter until I saw that team on the field,
Speaker 2: and I thought that they were going to be a
Speaker 2: competitive team, maybe a playoff team. And then they lost
Speaker 2: I think their first seven games. I go, damn. And
Speaker 2: then the second half of the year here they came.
Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, I go, next year,
Speaker 2: that team's a playoff team. And then they haven't looked back.
Speaker 2: They've made smart decisions. They play, they have an edge
Speaker 2: and an attitude. Yes, I will let you hit me
Speaker 2: in the nuts.
Speaker 5: It's just out there.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 7: I will bet you if we could go back and
Speaker 7: find the sound, I bet you Robert Sala's first words
Speaker 7: as the new Jets head coach were almost verbatim, the
Speaker 7: exact same thing. I mean, hey, look, this is the Jets. Okay,
Speaker 7: this is a proud organization. This time for messing around
Speaker 7: here is going to stop.
Speaker 2: Okay, Marvin, can you find maybe the sound or maybe
Speaker 2: we find the transcript of Robert Solomin.
Speaker 7: You guys could get that football launcher and I'll stand
Speaker 7: and I'll let you do it as many footballs as
Speaker 7: it takes to hit me in the balls.
Speaker 2: I'll let you do that.
Speaker 7: I'll bet you it is. The words that he said
Speaker 7: are almost verbatim.
Speaker 2: Okay. Nick Siriani, the head coach of the Eagles, a
Speaker 2: lot of talk about the tush push. Okay, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: hold on, hold on, hold on, you guys haven't heard
Speaker 2: this yet. We're gonna play the Nick Siriani responds to
Speaker 2: the tush push questions. Okay, so it's been successful. First
Speaker 2: touchdown on the Super Bowl they scored. Now we want
Speaker 2: to eliminate it. And how do you think? Nick Siriani
Speaker 2: answered the question Todd. I'm going to ask you, coach,
Speaker 2: what do you think about the NFL maybe getting rid
Speaker 2: of outlawing the tush push.
Speaker 6: You know what, I understand the frustration of other teams
Speaker 6: and how well we do it, but you know, just
Speaker 6: stop us. It's legal play. We're not doing anything outside
Speaker 6: of the boundaries of the law, and the other teams
Speaker 6: can work on it and get better at it to
Speaker 6: find a way to stop us. It's it's a non issue.
Speaker 6: It's a legal play. We'll keep doing it until anybody
Speaker 6: stops us.
Speaker 2: Seaton, how would you answer that?
Speaker 7: I think he said something like, it's just nice to
Speaker 7: have our greatness confirmed. Yes, the play is that good.
Speaker 7: We are that good, and we do deserve the season
Speaker 7: that we just had.
Speaker 3: So Marvin Sirianni said, they hate us because they aint us.
Speaker 2: Oh well, okay, Paul.
Speaker 4: Did the league try to stop the Dallas Cowboys when
Speaker 4: they invented the shotgun in the seventies? Did the leagues
Speaker 4: that try to stop the Redskins when they invented the
Speaker 4: two tight end offense? Innovation is part of our game
Speaker 4: and it can't be outlawed.
Speaker 2: This is what Nick Sirianni said about the tush push.
Speaker 10: I almost feel a little insulted because we worked so
Speaker 10: hard at that play, the amount of things that we've
Speaker 10: looked into how to coach that play, the fundamentals, there's
Speaker 10: always there's a thousand plays out there, but it comes
Speaker 10: down to how you teach the fundamentals, and now how
Speaker 10: the players go through and do with the fundamentals. I
Speaker 10: can't tell you how many times we practice the snap.
Speaker 10: We practice the play because it's not a play that
Speaker 10: it's easy to practice. There's different ways we figured out
Speaker 10: how to practice it. Like, we work really, really hard,
Speaker 10: and our guys are talented at this play, and so
Speaker 10: it's a little insulting to say it's just just you know,
Speaker 10: we're good at it, so it's automatic. We work really
Speaker 10: hard at it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, it's a good answer. It's the right answer.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, you guys can't stop us. All right, we'll
Speaker 2: take it out of our playbook. Buffalo does it. Buffalo
Speaker 2: probably did it as successful, maybe second most to the
Speaker 2: Eagles success rate. I don't know if you can sit
Speaker 2: there and go, hey, you know what, let's get rid
Speaker 2: of a couple of plays with a couple of teams here.
Speaker 2: I'll go back to what I said yesterday. If the
Speaker 2: Tennessee Titans did this play, no one would care. It's
Speaker 2: because the Eagles are doing it. The Eagles are shoving
Speaker 2: it in your face literally, and they're winning a Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: That's why teams are bothered by. That's why fans might
Speaker 2: be you know the safety element of this. Okay, football's
Speaker 2: a violent sport. And you line up. This is your
Speaker 2: line against my line. This is my team will against
Speaker 2: your team's will. Now, is it predictable? Yes. NFL doesn't
Speaker 2: like predictable, that's why they move the extra point. But
Speaker 2: this is a situation where you can It is so
Speaker 2: easy to solve this. Don't let somebody push a runner
Speaker 2: from behind. That's it. That's the old rule two thousand
Speaker 2: and five. Why did you allow it? Now, take that
Speaker 2: out of the rule book and just let them go
Speaker 2: with the quarterback sneak, and you know what, they'll be
Speaker 2: just as successful. Take a break Play of the day

Speaker 2: reported yesterday Jackson Dart and Quinn Ewers will throw at
Speaker 2: the combine. I didn't know if yours was healthy, but
Speaker 2: apparently he is. Jackson Dart I think is really good. Yeah,
Speaker 2: now you got a battle for that third spot. You
Speaker 2: got Jalen Milroe as well. I don't know if he's
Speaker 2: going to throw at the combine, but some of these
Speaker 2: other quarterbacks may benefit from the other quarterbacks who aren't throwing.
Speaker 2: Early poll results if you can Seaton.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we got up there right now. Is the NFL
Speaker 7: combine still useful?
Speaker 2: Right now?
Speaker 7: Sixty six percent of the audience are saying yes.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I mean it's filler. I think you can
Speaker 2: probably take You can glean some information out of it.
Speaker 2: Or also you get introduced to players that maybe you
Speaker 2: didn't follow, maybe they play in a conference that you
Speaker 2: don't watch all the time. I like that, And you'll
Speaker 2: have the analysts there going to point out some players
Speaker 2: who could be rising, maybe a sleeper pick. Maybe this
Speaker 2: could be a late round pick who could turn out
Speaker 2: to be a starting quarterback, wide receiver, running back, all
Speaker 2: of those things. Those are fun, you know, information, that's
Speaker 2: what you want going into the draft. We want to
Speaker 2: know who is that guy? How good is that guy?
Speaker 2: What do they say about that guy? Now the draft
Speaker 2: is littered with players where we go that guy can't miss,
Speaker 2: and then he misses. Imagine your job, or at least
Speaker 2: a large portion of your job, is to assess who
Speaker 2: can play on Sunday, who we thought were really good
Speaker 2: on Saturday. That's your job. Your job hinges on that.
Speaker 2: A lot of times we'll look at the GM and
Speaker 2: you'll go, how could you make that mistake? Well, your
Speaker 2: scouts will tell you. They give you all this information
Speaker 2: and then it's up to you. You make that decision,
Speaker 2: you make the pick. And we always talk about the GM. Well,
Speaker 2: the scouts play a role in this as well. They
Speaker 2: don't get enough credit. Maybe they don't get enough blame,
Speaker 2: but the GM, it seems to be he's the focal point. Yes, Pauline, I.
Speaker 4: Always wonder about some players who don't work out, but
Speaker 4: you didn't really see. I go back to Trey Lance
Speaker 4: out of North Dakota State. Did he ever have a
Speaker 4: chance to lead his own team? I know he had injuries,
Speaker 4: he did have a little bit of a chance, but
Speaker 4: he never got a chance a full sample size for
Speaker 4: us to see. So it's like, it's a mystery why
Speaker 4: he's not working out.
Speaker 2: He just got released by the Cowboys. Geez, it's amazing,
Speaker 2: And I was hoping he was going to get some
Speaker 2: run at the end of the season, and he got
Speaker 2: to play a little bit, but you know, he wasn't
Speaker 2: better than Cooper Rush just wasn't and you know, might
Speaker 2: be more athletic, but it's it's about understanding the position,
Speaker 2: and for some reason it doesn't click with him, or
Speaker 2: at least not yet.
Speaker 3: Yes, Marvin, if you're a scout and you find Cooper Cup,
Speaker 3: are you a scholarship for a few years.
Speaker 2: I think you can take a nice victory lab and
Speaker 2: Pooka Nakua. I mean, damn less need You're like, uh, yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, we don't really need draft picks, or at
Speaker 2: least high draft picks. We're gonna get those two guys. Yeah,
Speaker 2: mar But what.
Speaker 3: If you're just the scout, Like, man, I got this guy.
Speaker 3: He's out of this small school a Julian Edelman. Let's
Speaker 3: see if he works out in New England. Yeah, you're
Speaker 3: on scholarship for a little bit as the scout.
Speaker 2: I think we focus on baseball scouts who found Mickey
Speaker 2: Mantle or that guy found Hank Aaron or that guy
Speaker 2: you know, saw Willie Mays. We focus on scouts in
Speaker 2: baseball far more than we do with NBA and NFL.
Speaker 4: Yeah, pol I'm going back to the draft profile of
Speaker 4: Puka Naku out of college. Uh, predicted to be a
Speaker 4: six or seventh round draft pick, lacks athletic ability, twitch
Speaker 4: or speed to be dangerous, lacks physicality, will struggle to
Speaker 4: elude press coverage.
Speaker 5: It's it's a very negative. They said. There are some highlights,
Speaker 5: but not enough.
Speaker 2: Red in Georgia leads us off. Good morning Red, what's
Speaker 2: on your mind today?
Speaker 13: Good morning God? Thanks for taking a call. Hey, listen
Speaker 13: to pook him the cool draft. That guy needs to
Speaker 13: be fired. Man, I'm talking about He was all wall.
Speaker 13: But damn if you get rid of the touch push,
Speaker 13: don't We obviously got to get rid of any assistant
Speaker 13: by anybody helping a runner laid in a run. You
Speaker 13: see office a lineman come pusher running back down the field,
Speaker 13: and I never liked it because I want to see
Speaker 13: the individual talent for itself myself personally.
Speaker 2: Well, I know this is the tricky part of this
Speaker 2: and people aren't focusing on this. But if you're an
Speaker 2: offensive lineman, you're in front of the runner. If the
Speaker 2: runner breaks the line of scrimmage and that offensive lineman
Speaker 2: happens to run down and assist you in getting a
Speaker 2: few extra yards, I'm okay with it. He at the
Speaker 2: line of scrimmage, you went past him. That lineman is
Speaker 2: getting down to help you push the pile. I'm okay
Speaker 2: with it, Like, at what point do we go this?
Speaker 2: It's football. You may not like it, but if it's
Speaker 2: so easy and you know you're gonna complete it ninety
Speaker 2: eight percent, why don't other teams do it? The Eagles
Speaker 2: have mastered it. They have an unbelievable offensive line, and
Speaker 2: they have a quarterback who is different than every other
Speaker 2: quarterback in the NFL. Load to the ground, incredible leg power, drive.
Speaker 2: I can't penalize them because they figured this out. If
Speaker 2: they weren't successful as a team, no one would care
Speaker 2: about this. Next hour, we play in or out and
Speaker 2: a special guest contestant
