j oshminzatowill join us. Pro Pro Bowl Wide receiver and

(01:53):
NFL analyst Matt Moseley will join us from the Matt
Moseley Show. Plus he does the Doomsday podcast covering all
things all things Dallas Cowboys. Speaking of the Cowboys, our
national nightmare is almost over. Who said that it couldn't
be done? We all knew was gonna be done. It

(02:13):
was just a matter of the bottom line and what's
likely to be championed is either a win for the
owner or a win for the player, and my guess
is that it's a little bit of both. Just a guess.
Here's the most recent news. Most recent news, Uh, Zeke

(02:34):
Eillett and his agent are en route. You go and
rout en route, I think route and route from Cabo
to the DFW. And the idea is they haven't signed
or shaking hands on a deal, but you don't get
off the beach in Cabo unless you're getting pretty close.
And Tuesday is really kind of D Day, right. I'm

(02:57):
sure they're doing the offensive install on Wednesday with the
game plan, and you gotta be there. We gotta see
what kind of shape he's in, if he's gonna play
this weekend at all. Now, full disclosure. I drafted Zeke
knowing he could miss a game or two, but thinking
this was a formality that ultimately he'd be I drafted
him in five fantasy league, tried to draft him in

(03:18):
both fantasy leagues, but only end up with one. This
from Pro Football Talk. Now keep in mind Pro Football
Talk Mike Florio site is traditionally a player friendly site.
Remember that that in news media we have MSNBC, which

(03:39):
is out and left, Fox News which is out and
right right. CNN tries to play the middle. They seem
to lean more left right now, but they may be
kind of down the middle, like that's how the news
media works. In digital journalism, with football, most every buddy

(04:00):
is player friendly. And I would say Pro Football Talk
is the MSNBC of the NFL. I don't mean that
in an exceptionally negative way, like Rachel Maddow's remarkably talented
and brilliant, but her perspective is one from her perspective,
and Mike Florio believes that college football players should be paid,

(04:23):
that NFL owners are just all they are is money
hungry dudes. That dude should get what they get and
not take a penny less than what they feel like
they deserve. And so when I read the chatter at
the moment in knowledgeable league circles that the team and
the player have come to terms in a six year,
ninety million dollar extension, a source with direct not sourced

(04:44):
with directly knowledge of the situation should be direct knowledge.
Situation tells Pro Football Talk to the deal is not
yet done, but it's closed. If it's a six year,
ninety million dollar extension, the deal will also have new
money average of fifty million dollars per. It also would
tie Elliott to the Cowboys for three years, since he
has two years left in his rookie deal. My issue is,
I don't care how many years it has left, because

(05:08):
Zeke has shown he's really under contract for four more
years and he's already holding out. This is like Derrell reeves.
If you give in and you pay him top dollar,
what's to stop him from renegotiating if the price for
running backs goes up over the next couple of years.
But fifteen million per would make him the highest paid
running back in the league, surpassing that of Todd Gurley.

(05:28):
My guess is that the Cowboys protected themselves that they'll
own his rights in perpetuity however long they want. And
the payback to that is there will be some years
in which he'll make fifteen milk per. But they want
to protect themselves against injury or against a fading career.
They love a Zeke kill it. They don't think he's

(05:48):
Todd Gurley. He doesn't have the past injury history of
Todd Gurley, but he does have a past history with
the commissioner of the NBA. That's important. How he ages
is important, but also the fact that they have him
this year equally important. My guess is that Zeke Side

(06:10):
will say I'm the highest paid running back ever and
that the team will pitch it as Yeah, Look, Leo
Collins allowed us to free up some new money. They've
freed up five million dollars in change in cap space.
We can pay him some now, get him to an
appropriate level. We're not going to actually pay him top dollar,
and we'll own his rights forever so that he can

(06:31):
never do this to us again. But he's gonna do
it to you again. We're good. That's whether the ross
and ratio of the NFL. You knew they were gonna
be together at the end of the day. That's all
this said. It was just a you know all and
all those things that were said, you know about Tony Pollard,
we were out of break. Oh and remember when Marshall

(06:54):
Falk said that basically that the Dak Prescott when he
starts making thirty million dollars a year, will you a scrub?
We were out of break. All that goes away because
Zeke ends up showing up in camp, and it's interesting.
I would have loved for the Cowboys to try and

(07:15):
get a little leverage go a week or two, but
I think that Jerry probably got a little nervous, probably
understanding that if Zeke isn't there for week one or
a week two, he's not ready week three and week four,
and you lose a guy for a quarter of the season.
What's the point of paying him all that money. What's

(07:35):
the point of having this offensive line if you don't
have the best running back in the league to run
behind it. What the Cowboys are trying to do is
get cost certainty over their top players for the next three,
four five years. If you know where you're spending and
what you're spending, you can deal with a lot easier.

(07:57):
Even if you overspend a little bit. You're like, you
know what, I'm overspending, but I paid the initiation dues.
Jerry Jones feels like the parent that scolds the kid
and threatens to take away the phone and they get
ready to leave for school and they're like, yeah, I
gotta give it back to him because I gotta know
where they are when they picked them up, right that's

(08:20):
what Jerry's doing. He wants so badly to be the
guy who's the expert negotiator, to draw the hardline stance.
He wants to be the Chargers. Go ahead, find a
trade partner. You know what, We're not talking about anything
anybody else or anything else or any other contract attention.
So you show up in camp. That's what the Chargers

(08:42):
did yesterday to Melvin Gordon, and he's mad. Jerry wants
to be liked as much as he wants to be respected.
He wants to win a Super Bowl, and he feels
like this might be his last shot. Just like you know,
all of us parents, we get mad at our kids
and want to take away their phone. They were like, yeah,
but there's literally no other way for them to interact

(09:03):
with their friends. We don't even have a landline in
my house anymore. So it's not like, hey, you gotta
call him the house line, Like now, you can't do that.
Oh yeah. By the way, when they get down with school,
we have to know where they are to pick them up.
We gotta make sure they're saved. And that's basically a
tracking device, a honing device for you where your children are.
Most of us are guilty of it. I'm gonna take

(09:24):
away your phone. If you do this, I'm gonna take
away your phone. You take away the phone and you're like,
here's the phone, and Jerry Jones, Hey, we're gonna play
with that. We'll have to play without him. We'll just
proceed forward. We don't need the best rusher in the
NFL to win a Super Bowl. Like saying all these
things and then ultimately giving in and over paying Todd

(09:46):
Gurley's contracts a bad one. Let's use that as the
barometer for where to set our baseline. It seems like
a bad plan didn't but that's because Jerry Jones is
that guy who takes away the phone, then five minutes
later says, here you go, do better next time, Do
better next time. Daniel Jeremiah from the NFL Network joins

(10:11):
the show. We'll ask him about the juxtaposition of how
the Chargers are handling their running back and now the
Cowboys are handling there's plus, what do you make a
devian clowney? I mean even John Sneider who only paid
half the freight even he said when he plays he's
a freak. But that insinuates what we all believe to
be true, which is he don't play hard all the time?

(10:33):
Will he now in a contract year? We'll discuss next.
Be sure to catch live editions of The Doug Dot
Leap Show weekdays at noon Eastern three pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio, a app.
Doug Gotlip Show rolls on here on Fox Sports Radio.
Daniel Jeremiah has he moved the Sticks podcast? It's a

(10:54):
good one. Check him out in the NFL network. He
also calls Charger games on Sunday's d d J The
Pro Football Talk, which I do view though I think
Florio does a good job. I do view it as
kind of a pro players sort of slant. That's like
like they're the MSNBC of football news. Right, So when

(11:16):
when Florio site says if it's a six year, ninety
million dollar extension, the deal will have new money average
of fifteen million dollars per year, sounds like that's what
Zeke's people are putting out there. What do you think
the final tally ultimately is for Zike Elliott? Well, I
mean I've been consistent, all right. I think that they're
going to want at least one number and whether that's

(11:38):
the average per year or whether that's a guaranteed money,
um that they want to have one number that your
agent can sell us having met or exceeded the Todd
Gurley contract. So um one was going to be on
their terms. The other one would be more team friendly.
So the fact that they're touting the kind of the
average per year here, I think that's probably You're probably right,

(12:00):
probably coming from the from the player's side, and I
think that's, um, you know, that's that's probably a fair number.
I would imagine I have to go back and look
at the guarantees on girlies, but I would imagine Gurley
would probably best them, and the guarantees are they'd be
touting that number. Yeah. Also, you know, Girle, it's it's
like four years essentially, four years are completely guaranteed, which
I don't think is crazy for Zeke only in that

(12:22):
I mean truth, he's under contract for four years of
the Cowboys. My thing is, if you're the Cowboys, aren't
you Aren't you doing this so early and on his terms?
What's the stop not just Zeke from doing this, but
anybody else who achieves something early in their rookie contract
from doing it well, that's that goes back to the precedent,
and that goes to the difference between the Cowboys organization

(12:44):
and their history and their track record and what it
does to their leverage, and it goes to the Chargers
in their history, their track record and their leverage. Um.
So I think, to me, that's that's something you have
to be willing to live within the future. But I
just think where the Cowboys are right now and which
Jerede owns that, uh, you know, he's you can. To me,
it's almost like the tougher you talk, um, the more

(13:07):
willing you are to cave a little bit. You know.
The Chargers haven't said anything, but nobody wonders or questions
where they stand what ultimately happens with the Chargers and
and and more importantly, you know they're running back. Yeah,
I mean, look, it's it's uh, you know, it's something
that I don't have a good feeling. I thought he
would come in before the first week, because, um, I

(13:27):
just think you want to forfeit the money. He'd be
forfeiting And I knew, you know, just from staring at
the situation that there's no leverage there for him. So
I thought we would see him by now. So my
my gut feel was off on that one. Um. So
trying to guess what's gonna happen going forward is difficult,
but um, you know, i'd imagine he find his way
in there before you get to week ten. Um. But

(13:47):
you know, I think the Chargers feel pretty good about
the group that they have, and we'll see how the
schedule lines up. But I think they've got a chance
to have some success on the ground. Yeah, it's it's
going to what now? What about Zeke in terms of
how much would you feel comfortable using him this weekend?
Considering though he's been training, no one can be in
football shape having not taken football hits. I wouldn't. I

(14:09):
wouldn't throw him out there this week personally. UM, I
just think that what's the you know, the risk, the reward.
You've just sunk this investment in him. It's one game,
you know, just give him, give him a full almost
two weeks to get himself ready to go. Um, even
sprinkling him in I get you know. I hear people say, oh,
maybe just give him a little bit a little dose here. Um,

(14:30):
I don't know. I would tend to be a little
more cautious. It's a it's a sixteen game season. I'm
not trying to roll him out there and and have
him miss four to six weeks because we've got a handstring.
Doug Gottlib Show here on Fox Sports Radio. Let's let's
let's quickly conclude on the Chargers. They're taking on the Colts,
and the Colts obviously have now decided to give Jacoby
Brissette an extension make him the starting quarterback for a

(14:52):
couple of years. But they don't have their starting left tackle.
They don't have Derwin James, arguably the most talented and
and uh and vital defensive player and All Pro. And
they don't have their starting running back. I know they're
ridiculously talented, but ridiculously talented. If they have all their
players without at least three starters, how good are these

(15:14):
Chargers this weekend? Well, I think defensively they're gonna be
just fine. Um. You know, Derwin is a is a
magical player. I mean, he's the best safety in the
NFL in my opinion. But they are so good and
so deep and so talented up front. I think our
linebacker group is much improved, and they have you know
quality players. They don't have a Derwin James. They have
quality players. They can plug in there with Adrian Phillips

(15:36):
and Raheon Jenkins. So defensively, you know, I think from
what they're missing, they're gonna be okay. I think running
back when we talked about, I think they're gonna be okay. Um.
The one that would concern me is the left tackle,
and there's a significant drop off from Russell Coon down
to Trent Scott. So to me, this is where you know,
you have a coordinator like Ken Wizzen Hunt, you gotta
you gotta make your money this week because you have

(15:58):
Virgil Green and Hunter Henry, two really good tight ends.
And uh, I would imagine you're gonna see one of
those guys trying to really really help out your young
left tackle, um, and you're gonna be chipping with backs
on the way out. But you've got a game plan
around where you are at that position, because I don't
think you want to leave Trent Scott isolated out there,
um or that could be a long day. So that's

(16:19):
where the coaching comes in. I wouldn't be surprised too
if you saw him empty the formation a little bit Um.
Because Philip is so smart and so good at seeing
things getting the ball out, they'll have to be creative
with how they cover up the loss of Russell Coon,
which in my opinion is the biggest loss they have
right now. Let's let's let's discuss all three teams involved
with the Dolphins and Texans and Seahawks. Start with the Seahawks. Um,

(16:41):
I get the idea of Jadeveon Clowney at half of
of the going right. Um, But I when I hear
John Schneider say when he plays he's a freak, it
makes me think, Okay, everything we've heard about Jadeveon Clowney,
if he had a motor you know, I'd be better
than j J. What but he just doesn't. Does being

(17:02):
in a contract year because there's no franchise tag out
there for him being a contract year? Does that actually
motivated I know we think it motivates you, Devion County,
But does it actually motivates you Devan Well, I mean
he's the only one that can answer that. But I
would imagine you're going to see the best version of Clowney. Um,
he fits this scheme. You saw him mention the other
day that he was excited, wouldn't have to drop and

(17:24):
coverage it all anymore, which is not a large component
of that defensive Romeo Carnell. But you have no no,
but the idea that a four three d N is
a three or four linebacker made no made no sense.
It wasn't I said it at the time they drafted him.
I get where he you know, where he slotted on
the big board, but didn't fit. He didn't fit into
what they needed. Yeah. The difference though is usually, you know,

(17:45):
you get into passing situations, you get your sub out there,
and most teams are playing with four down, you know,
So he's he's still getting to basically function as a
defensive end a bunch, you know, when whenever you had
your sub package out there. So that's a little different
thing used to be. But I get what you're saying.
I mean on base downs. Yeah, he's he had to
do some of that. So this is a better fit
form scheme wise. I think Pete Carroll will be a

(18:07):
good fit form coach wise. Um, the talent has always
been there, but you know, at the end of the day,
when I look at it, they bring in Zigi on
to LJ. Collier, who they drafted in the first round
and they bring over Clowney. You know, three three talented players.
Clowney has a chance to be really good, but none
of them are as good as the guy they shipped
out and Frank Clark. Frank Clark's a better football player

(18:28):
than all those guys. So it's gonna be, you know,
trying to replace him in his production. It's going to
be a group effort. I'm anxious to see how it
all works out. I am as well. What do you
think about what the Texans have done? Well, you know,
I I don't like the Clowney thing from the standpoint.
If I thought they mismanaged it, if they could have,
if they could have got a trade done before that
deadline I believe it was July fifteenth, I think they

(18:48):
would have had a greater return on him. Um, but
this is what it is. They I think they thought
he would come in, They were all in for this year.
Thought he would show up and they would just get
the last year out of his play and be happy
with that, and then unfortunately didn't. They didn't have that right,
so they didn't get any value on that one. But
when I turn around and look at the tunsil thing,
which I feel like they've got a lot of criticism for.

(19:11):
I actually understand that one. I mean, there's no such thing,
in my opinion, is over paying for the safety and
security of your franchise quarterback. This is a team in
a division with Andrew Luck no longer there. The window
was wide open. You've seen the beating that Andrew Luck
took in the impact it had been shortening his career. Um,
you had to get better. You had to find the answer.

(19:32):
And I think they got one of the best, if
not the best left tackles in the NFL. And you're
gonna overpay for him in terms of the draft picks
they had. Over gonna have to overpay for them in
terms of what they pay them. But if that keeps
Deshaun Watson out there for sixteen weeks for the next
ten years, um, I think they'd be very happy to
pay that price. Dania Jeremiah joining us in Doug Gallup show.
All right now under the Dolphins, who uh, If that's

(19:55):
not taking I don't know what is. How do they
make their way through the season consider ring all the
parts they've shipped out. You've seen a few good men,
right Doug. Do you remember this line when they're out
to dinner it's Daniel Caffey and Joe. So it's Tom
Cruise and Demi Moore and she's very hopeful about the

(20:16):
case and he goes, Joe, you need to prepare for
the fact that we're gonna lose, and we're gonna lose huge.
That was the That was the scene that was playing
in my mind after this trade was done, like that's
literally that's the message. Um, and I go all the
way back to uh, you know the parcels. I tweet
this out but ninety or in the two thousand eight

(20:36):
when they took Jake Long over over Matt Ryan ad
Pennington at the time, but they you know, went with
the offensive line. And now you fast forward, they've got
one of the best young left tackles. They're gonna part
with him in the hopes of finding that next quarterback
because they've been on this never ending journey to find
that guy. Chris Greer was a director of college scouting
on that team back in two thousand and eight. Now

(20:56):
he's a general manager and he knows that while left
tackles right, Um is still quarterback. At the top of
the food chain, So they are all in on the
guy next year, and I think it tells you, you know,
they've already made their decision on Josh Rose and the
fact he's not starting, the fact that they've made these
moves there next they're starting quarterback for next year is
not on the roster right now. Yeah, what becomes of

(21:17):
Josh Rosen? I mean it really kind of remarkable from
a can't miss prospect too. Now, two teams in two
years and it feels like it will be a third
team next year. Yeah. I mean, look, you know he
had I think you have a different coordinator every year
at U c l a Um played behind the worst
you know, played for the worst team in the NFL
last year. He's on the worst roster in the NFL

(21:38):
this year. You know, I don't know, I feel I
feel bad for the kid, you know, hopefully um. You know,
I would think best case scenario is they use this
draft pick next year on a quarterback with the first
pick that they'll end up acquiring if they don't earn
it themselves, and then Josh will get a chance to
be that bridge quarterback until that guy is ready to go.
I think that's kind of what the future looks like

(22:00):
Jeremiah joining us. In the Doug Gottlieb Show here on
Fox Sports Radio, we got Packers and Bears to cut
off the season oldest rivalry in the sport, celebrating the
hundredth year of the National Football League. Let's start with
the Packers. What should we expect from Aaron Rodgers in
this new Matt Lafore offense? Well, I expect them to
come out and chuck it all over the place. Um,

(22:21):
I think you'll see, uh, you'll see him with a
little more movement. I think you'll see him play really well.
I think this I think this Dutch fit him. I
know it's a new it's new for him and with
some of the things he's having to do, but um,
I didn't stripping some of the power away. But I
anticipate we're going to see a very good version of
of Aaron Rodgers in this game. I think they're gonna
throw it. So when you look at the when you

(22:43):
look at the uh, the Bears secondary, I mean, that's,
to me, is where you want to attack. So I
don't imagine they're going to spend a ton of time
trying to establish the run in this game. All Right,
What about the Bears. Uh, Trabinsky, you know, is a
very good athlete, he's a very good leader, but he's
not always the most accurate throw. Or Packer's defense appears
to be massively improved in year two in this in

(23:03):
this system. What do you think of the Bears this
upcoming season? Well, I like them, you know, I think,
you know, Minnesota obviously not playing this game, but I
think is Gonn a chance to kind of reclaim this
division in my opinion, But I like the Packer or
I like the Bears, and I think David Montgomery, UM
in this run game, I think that's gonna be we do.
I think this game, you're gonna see Green Bay throw

(23:24):
it all over the place, and I think you're gonna
see uh Chicago kind of get the run going. Um
what they're with their backs, especially with Montgomery, so uh now,
I think they're I think they're a good team. He
was a little bit of adjustment period going from from
Fangio UM getting Chuck Bogano in there. I like Chuck.
I think he's a good coach, but it's still an
adjustment and at the secondary to meet Um at the

(23:45):
corner position. I still think you can attack them a
little bit, so uh, that to me would be uh,
how this kind of game goes. I think you see
a little more physical ground game from Chicago, and I
think Green Bay tries to throw it all over the place.
What can we make of the Patriots? Nik Hill Harry
is out for at least eight weeks, right, Um, you know,
and they have had this long search for wide receivers

(24:05):
and yet still have a solid running game but offensive
line and they had to make some offensive line acquisitions
and lost their center two weeks before the season. I
know they used those first four weeks this kind of
extended training camp. Well, what are your expectations of the Patriots? Yeah,
I think they'll probably drop one game in the first
four Um and uh, people will react to it. But

(24:26):
Dante Scarnecki is going to get this group of offensive
linemen uh playing at a very high level. Tom Brady
is going to cover up some of those issues they
might have until they gel and then uh, and you're
gonna see a zillion balls to the backs out of
the backfield. I mean, if you do the fantasy football thing,
I think all these backs are gonna catch a ton
of balls. They're gonna run it, and they're gonna find
matchups with backs online backers, and they're gonna keep humming

(24:49):
like they always do. And then defensively, they're gonna they're
gonna give up some yardage and they're gonna clamp down
when you get down in the red zone. And the
secondary is one of the best in the NFL. So, UM,
I don't know, it's just a formula they have and
you miss a piece he or there, they figure it
out and keep on going. I don't anticipate that's gonna
change this year. Will people catch up to the Kansas
City Chiefs offense, I don't think so. I think they've

(25:10):
got another level to go to, which is kind of scary. UM.
I said, look at Andy's Andy is as creative as
it gets. He's always adding new wrinkles. And I think
defensively now they're they're built to get some takeaways. And
I mentioned Frank Clark earlier what he can do. Um.
And I think they're better in the back end with Matthew.
I think he'll be better coordinated. UM. So you're gonna

(25:31):
give that offense a couple more possessions. And that's that's
a scary, scary thought. Best team in football. I think
it's the most talented team in football. I think it is.
I think it is Kansas City in Philadelphia. The teams
when you kind of look at just talent and the depth, um,
those would be the two that jump off the page.
Great stuff, Man, look forward to hearing your call this
weekend of Chargers Cults. Seen you on the NFL Network,

(25:54):
and of course I always listen to Move the Move
the six podcast. You and Bucky appreciate being our guests. Thanks,
but man to catch live editions. So the Doug dot
Leap Show weekdays at noon Eastern three pm Pacific. Doug
Gotlip Show here on Fox Sports Radio. This was mattel Floor.
We were talking about the Packers offense. Here's Backers head
coach mattel Floor earlier today discussing the audible issue issue

(26:14):
with Aaron Rodgers. Every call talk at the combine, you
mentioned that audibles weren't be a big part of it.
Just will not stop with this audible thing. It's unbelievable.
What do you what do you guys want me to say?
I find it interesting that it had about a big
part of it in the past, but maybe it's gonna
be now. Honey, is that can be a big adjustment
on your part? Yeah, I think that we've always had

(26:37):
adjustments within our plays, Like it's just we called it
something different and the fact that I didn't call it
an audible, everybody's running while with it. So uh, it's
it's comical to me. Yeah. Look, the idea that a
unproven head coach is going to come in and put

(26:58):
in a system and not listen to the first ballot
Hall of Fame Quarterbacks opinion and make some adjustments to
what he wanted to do, like that would probably be
the dumbest leadership ever, wouldn't it? Right? What it like?
Think about that? At your job, a guy who has

(27:20):
never been in charge before has some new ideas, wants
to carry over ideas from somewhere else they've done kind
of a you know, a lower lower level part of
the same job, and you think he's gonna come in
and just go, hey, we're doing it my way or
the highway. How do you how do you think that

(27:42):
goes over? We do this with Brady and Belichick like
it's one or the other, Like they can't ever get
along Belichick's way or Brady's way, Like I did a
podcast UM for the show today with a guy named
Aaron Bender who does uh he works for we have

(28:03):
a sister station. It's actually where you can hear the
Chargers in southern California KFI. So UM, what's what's interesting
about it was we were talking about my tweet from
last week and I have this honest belief like I
don't mind if other people at the place I work

(28:24):
combat my Like we had Joel clad On he didn't
like the tweet. We argued about it. I still like
Joe Clatt, he still likes me. We can still hang
out together off air or still have him on air.
That that that's kind of the way it's supposed to work,
But that that's the way guys got You don't want like,
oh this which one do? Yes, yes, yes, sir, that's

(28:46):
all we'll do. Who wants to work in an environment
like that, especially when the guy's system he hasn't shown
the ability because he hasn't had the opportunity to install
his system and see it work. And as much as
Aaron Rodgers may want to say, well my ways works,
it hasn't worked recently. So I'm I'm sitting here saying,

(29:09):
what what is the big deal, which is kind of
what Matt Laflour saying, which is kind of what Aaron
Rodgers saying, Like, look, guys, we can totally disagree on
these things completely and totally disagree. We can see the
world through an absolutely different lens and it's not that

(29:30):
big a deal. Not that big a deal. And Matt
Laflour is like, look, you guys, audibles aren't a big
part of it. Okay, you took me at verbatim. That
doesn't mean that he can go up and call fifteen
different plays. It's basically two plays to choose from. And
even that, you get the sense that they'll adjust as

(29:51):
they go. Why, it's a good leadership. He's got to
get the the genius. What La Fleur is trying to
do is make Aaron Rodgers think he's winning the argument
while actually losing the argument. You don't want to just

(30:11):
let Aaron Rodgers win. What you wanna do is it's
the old inception idea. Do you guys watch inception? Christopher
Nolan Flick. The idea of inception is planting an idea
so deep inside somebody's brain that they think it's their own,
and they take ownership of it. That's really good coaching.
That's not coming in saying we're doing it my way.

(30:32):
That's coming in saying we're gonna do it your way.
But what if your way looked a little bit like this.
It's not my way, it's our way, but more your way.
Even when you look at it and it becomes my way,
that's all he's gotta do. You now, you can go
full frontal and go hey, a rog Look, you've been

(30:54):
trying it your way for ten years. The limited success
you've looked great, Your teams have looked up and down,
and people seem to have caught up to it. What
if we try a little if we were gonna try
something a little different, what would that be and then
suddenly you kind of slide it into the way in
which you want to operate. I think that's totally reasonable.

(31:16):
I think Lafour has had enough of this audible stuff.
I think generally it's gonna work because even without a
cohesive game plan and a cohesive coach and player relationship,
Aaron Rodgers and a bad you had twenty five touchdowns
and two interceptions last season. Imagine what he can do
in a new season which challenges him and keeps his
ideas fresh. The NFL kicks off in two days. Who

(31:38):
are the top three teams entering the season? I'll tell
you next. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk
lineup in the nation. Catch all of our shows at
Fox sports Radio dot com and within the I Heart
Radio app search f s R to listen live. Doug
ot Lip Show. You're on Fox Sports Radio every day.
At this time, we like to bring in and buyer

(32:00):
and play a game. This is game time side on
the Doug Gottlieb Show dB. What he got Doug. The
game today is rank them alright, five scenarios here for
you to rank, all football related and we start in

(32:21):
the professional ranks. Doug ranked the top three teams in
the NFL in your mind entering the season. I can't
say Chiefs. I would say New England Patriots, um canc che,
Newing Patriots and Chiefs one Patriots too, Chiefs one Patriots twos.

(32:51):
Gonna sayre gonna put the Eagles yeah, and I might
move the Eagles two. But I mean, like, look, I
understand the Patriots losing your starting center is big, big um.
I do think Brady looked old down the stretch. But
They're built as a power running team. They have improved
their wide receiving corps. I think their defense figured themselves

(33:13):
out last season and they will continue. I still think
they might get beat week one of the season, but
I would think that they gotta be one of top
three time. Do you think they have the best corner
in the NFL and s to find Gilmour? So there's
their strength on the other side of that ball. Rank
the three worst teams in the NFL during the season.
I'm gonna go it's so easy to go Dolphins, right, Okay,

(33:36):
So three, I'm gonna go Bengals, all right, Okay, One,
I'm gonna go Dolphins. I got some other options. I
got some other thoughts on who who would you rank
in there? Because I have some other kind of thoughts
in there. I mean, I got Arizona Cardinals. Yeah, I
don't believe in the Arizona I just I think that's

(33:57):
gonna take a while to work out. So I would
actually put Arizona probably at number two. The Dolphins is
the worst. Yeah, I probably put the Bengals at two,
And the logic behind it is I do think Arizona
has some players, But yes, I'm with you. You got
a coach that hasn't coached in the NFL, he didn't
win in college. You got no offensive line. You do

(34:19):
have some good skill position players on offense, but you
have no, I mean zero offensive line. And you know
the defense wasn't particularly good last year. And they I
don't know. I'll go one to three in that order, Dolphins, Arizona, Bengals,
but I have no problem put the Bengals in there.
Could put the Bengals just don't have without a J. Green,
who do they actually have mixing and yeah, and at

(34:40):
least with the Cardinals, you're thinking, okay, they figured out
their quarterback situation. Where Cincinnati you're like, all right, well,
maybe there's still a ways that they could Maybe they
could go get a step worse before they get better.
As Andy Dalton's right now, the single Caller Signal Caller
all rank the top three candidates to win the NFL
m v P top three players that are gonna be

(35:01):
m v P worthy. M So, I may focus on
the quarterback since it seems to be such a quarterback
award these days. But Pat Mahomes one, all right, Uh,
Pat Mahomes one. Aaron Rodgers too, and uh m hmmm

(35:27):
mmmm you the third one? Huh maybe Carson Wentz Rivers.
You know, I'll go Carston Wentz. He was gonna win
it two years ago. All right, let's shift gears to
the collegiate game. As Week one of the college football
season is now in the books, Doug rank the top
three most impressive performances from college football this past weekend.

(35:51):
Doesn't have to just be players, doesn't have to just
be teams, could be whatever. You were impressed. H Jalen
Hurts three, Right, he was awesome, Yeah, really good. Jalen
Hurts three was really really really impressive. Um, I say,
I'd say the Mountain West, just the Mountain West, I

(36:12):
mean outside the outside of Fresno State in Presido State
nearly beat usc Uh, Sandy State wins, Wyoming beats Missouri,
Nevada beats per Due. Yeah, so the Mountain West in general. Two.
And then Boyse's win at Florida State is number one.
All right, to go down there in the heat and humidity,
to switch sites when the game was supposed to be

(36:33):
in Jacksonville, and and to to withstand the early punch
of Florida State and not go away, and with a
behind a freshman quarterback of Southern California. Kid. By the way,
I think boys won the weekend. And then there's the
flip side of this, ranked the three most disappointing performances
from college football's week one. Mm hmm. There are a

(36:54):
bunch of This even goes back to Thursday as well.
Uh yeah, I'll go Florida State three. Okay, Um, Florida
State has lost to Boise State. I will do uh
Organ's collapse at two and Tennessee at one. Oregon had
it but let it slip away. That's game time. This

(37:21):
is game time on the Duck Gottlieb Show. Speaking of which,
I gotta wanna bet for you guys. Oh yeah, do
you want to bet? Buyer Texas A and M and
granted different quarterback last year in college station. Um, but

(37:44):
we'd all agree Jimbo Fisher is a big time coach,
right and A and M. It has not been a
lack of talent. That's that hasn't allowed them to be
successful in the SEC. I'm looking at eighteen points right now.
Eighteen points. Trevor Lawrence was a touchdown two interceptions. He

(38:05):
was not quarterback. Jesus last week he looked like a
second year quarterback, and he has looked like that and
in the past. Um. I get that they have a
running game. I get that they're at home. I I
cautioned people they have seven new starters on defense and
going against a really well coached A and M team.
Eighteen point it doesn't mean Clemson doesn't win. Eighteen points

(38:27):
is way too many. Remember this is a Clemson team
that has shown the inability to win always at home.
Lost to Pittsburgh a couple of years ago at home,
uh nearly lost to Louisville same year at home. You
look at the shows last year Syracuse. Granted Trevor Lawrence
got hurt, but that was at home, a game they
nearly lost. I don't like I love Texas A and
M this weekend in eighteen points? Oh really, you want

(38:54):
to bet? I think we all think of ourselves as
Rocky right, us against the war world. The man is
keeping us down. I think we kind of got it
all wrong. Everybody's not getting screwed. I'll explain why. I'll
coming next on The Doug Gotleap Show Fox Sports Radio.

(39:14):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Doug got
Leap Show week days in noon eastern three pm Pacific

What Up America. Doug gott Leap Show, Fox Sports Radio,
come into you from the sunny city of Angels. Hope
you're having a great day. Welcome to fall, Welcome to
football season. It's game week, Game week. We have an

(39:38):
NFL game between the longest storied rivals in National Football
League history two days away, two days away, So welcome in.
I hope you're great. Doug Otlip Show is brought to
by Farmers. At Farmers, we've seen almost everything, so we
know how to cover almost anything. When it's game time,
have an experienced player help you the game, put their

(40:01):
experience into play. At Farmers dot com, we are I
like being on the right side of history. Anybody else
like being on the right side of history? I do. Um.
Twitter will call me a hater. Social media will say
basketball player, you don't know. But the reality is, when

(40:25):
you do this thing for nearly twenty years, when you
make connections within the sports, all sports are alike, and
my relationships with NFL people, college football people, baseball people,
basketball people tend to know a little bit more about
what I'm talking about, then maybe I might let on
Joe Banner, former general manager of the Cleveland Browns. Most recently,

(40:48):
before that, he was with the Philadelphia seven Philadelphia Eagles.
Excuse me quote. Cutting a player who has a non
guaranteed contract is honoring the contract. This issue is easily
fixed starting with top tier players signing shorter deals. There
is no equivalency. Despite how hard some try to make,
players can and should fix this. They did honor the contract,

(41:09):
the player accepted the deal, the team gave them. The
team gave them that right. I'm not saying the system
is great, but players already have the power to fix
and teams are not breaking contracts when they do this.
The common misconception, Actually it's not a common misconception. It's
a flowl lie that NFL players don't have guaranteed contracts.

(41:33):
They do. They do. They are not all fully guaranteed,
but that again is the player's choice. Secondly, rookie contracts
are actually fully guaranteed. Let me tell you another lie.
You've been told a bunch recently. You have people saying
the running backs should have their own union because the

(41:55):
running backs are getting screwed. You heard that one you heard, Allen.
Because the new trend, as they say in the NFL,
the new trend is to get a running back, use
him up in his first contract, and then put him
out to pasture and not pay him huge money. Okay,

(42:18):
all right, that the way it works. I mean, the
truth is that Ezekei Elliott, had he not gotten a
new contract, was still going to make in the neighborhood
of twenty million dollars over the next two years based
upon his contract this year, which is the back end
of a rookie deal, and his fifth year extension, which
is also part of the rookie deal. Had he been

(42:40):
signed to a deal beyond that to additional years right now,
the franchise tag would be in the thirteen million a
year variety. So if you put thirteen plus thirteen plus twenty, okay,
what do you end up getting. You end up getting
forty six million dollars over four years. That's an average.

(43:05):
That's an average, and that's on the low end, because
I actually think you'd be getting more than twenty. But
that's an average of eleven million dollars. And what the
Cowboys will do is they'll probably extend this and make
give it a fifth year guaranteed or whatever, but probably
the first four years are completely guaranteed, and it'll be
somewhere in the thirteen and fifteen million dollars a year variety.

(43:27):
It won't look like that in the books because you
can move it around based upon bonuses and it ends
up saving the team in terms of their salary cap
for years to come, depending on where you put the
biggest percentage of the dead cap money. What Joe Banner
is simply saying is, hey, man, Lyle Collins, what do

(43:52):
you get this year? What? What did he just get?
He got thirty semid million in guarantees and a contract extension,
and what we're thirty five million guaranteed? And we're told
that's a team friendly deal, right because he did not.
But loll Collins has had up and down years. Remember

(44:14):
last year when they moved in position wise, he struggled
really on. And the idea is this, forget about the
fifty million. Everybody's well, they're not gonna out of their contract.
Yes they will. If you just wanted a three year
or four year thirty five million dollar deal, then negotiate
for that. Now, if you negotiate for that, there's a possibility.
The team says, you know, we really only want to

(44:36):
give you a thirty and guarantee because we could lose
you on the back end of that. But there is
no stipulation, none in the collective bart In Agreement that
tells teams what, how what percentage of a contract can
and cannot be guaranteed in a second contract. There isn't one.
Kirk Cousins got his fully guaranteed. What's interesting about the

(44:58):
Kirk Custins thing is was three years? What eighty six
million dollars? That right? Remember the time people freaked out.
But the truth is that kirk Cousins gotten a four
or five year deal. It would have been for one
ten or one twenty, but the guarantees would have either
been the same or maybe even a little bit more.

(45:21):
Had he been willing to sign some non guaranteed part
of the deal. People thought that was gonna be a
game changer. It wasn't. And the reason it's not. The
reason it's not Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson have new deals,
And the reason it's not it's pretty simple. Because teams
want to protect themselves just like players want to protect themselves.

(45:41):
They want to protect you. On both ends, they want
to be protected against the fact that you could be
injured at any time in this sport and never play again,
and some NFL contracts aren't insurable. Insurance doesn't pay a
dollar for dollar. On On the other hand, they also
want to protect themselves against the idea that you could
either hold out or walk away at the end of

(46:03):
your deal in case you still have juice in the tank,
which is a reasonable ask. Hey, man, we gave you
fifty minutes thirty five million dollars in guarantees when you
were already under contract. The least you can do is
let us own your rights for another two years in
case you live up to that contract and we want
to continue paying you earld Thomas got every penny he

(46:24):
was owed last year. I think the idea is a
lot of times we use our own perspective, our own biases,
our own experiences, and we put them into the athletes
that we cheer for, and we feel like the man
is always trying to keep us down. But the truth

(46:48):
is that NFL players have it far better than any
of us do, and maybe far better than even they should.
Their salary cap is based upon a revenue share yours
isn't mine is, and that's not now. Maybe my next
contract should be better. But I'm not blaming uh Fox
Sports Radio, Premiere Radio for the terms of my deal.

(47:11):
I don't like every term within my deal, but that's
the deal we agreed to. That's the deal we agreed to.
I have a couple of things that I would like
in there, and you know what, the next time around,
I will put them in there if I can, But
I may lose something else in the deal that I want.
It's called negotiating and our our ability to be completely unrealistic. Well,

(47:37):
you know, I mean baseball players they have the best deals,
well sort of if you factor in that they get
drafted at a high school or draft out of college
like Aaron Judge did. So they play three or four
years in college, many of them not on scholarship because
college baseball teams have what is it eight and a
half scholarships. Then they have to go to the minor

(48:00):
leagues and even if they're a high draft pick, they
get paid up front, but after that you're in the
minors for a couple of years. Then once you make
the majors, you're talking about four years until you reach arbitration.
They weed you out in the in in baseball, weed
you out, and if you're able to survive, you'll get

(48:21):
a second big deal. And if you're able to thrive,
you'll get a huge deal. But you're also in a
sport where you can show up and play a hundred
fifty nights a year for ten straight years and nothing
ever go wrong. Where's whereas in the NFL they're giving
you a four year guaranteed contract. You get your money
up front, you get four years guaranteed. After the veterans said,

(48:43):
you're paying the rookies too much. That's why I changed.
The rookies used to make more. The reason they didn't
was the veterans like, dude, are you doing give in
Sam Brad for fifty million dollars for he plays time?
No kick that back to us, kick that back to us. Meanwhile,
they get four years guaranteed in a sport where you're

(49:06):
one Ryan Shazier tackle away from being hobbled the rest
of your life. Where is our reality? Wake up every
morning and say, no one knows to be anything. I
can make my own happiness right. No one ows me anything,

(49:30):
because we wake up every morning saying the man is
just trying to keep money from us, not really, not really,
Like look the Leo Collins deal, it gives him cost
certainty for the Dallas Cowboys for four years. It saves
them some money in some luxury tax, in some salary
cap uh, so they can spend that either on on Zeke,

(49:52):
on Deck on Amari Cooper or on all three. It
protects the players so that he can play and protect
ext the teams. They have the right tackle. But it's
not a crazy sum of money, so you feel like
you're massively overpaying. Everybody ends up happy. And if you
don't like the last year and a half two years
of your deal where you could be cut, guess what,

(50:14):
Like Joe Banner said, don't sign it, nobody forces you to.
Kirk Cousins could have signed a bigger deal, could have
signed a longer, longer term deal, could have signed for
five or six years, some crazy amount of money, but
he wanted short term guaranteed. What can you give me?
And that's what he got. And people thought, well he

(50:36):
reset the market. No he didn't. Guys are well over
thirty million dollars now his is not his is three
a you know three years? At six you do the math.
It's really good money, really good money. But three at
thirty is ninety all right? Former wide out and pro

(50:57):
bowler t J. Hushman Zada joins the show. Up Coming next,
what does he think about the Cowboys making Ezekie Elliott
the highest paid running back in the NFL. We'll discuss next.
Be sure to catch live editions of The Doug dot
Leap Show weekdays at noon Eastern three pm Pacific Doug
gott Leap Show here on Fox Sports Radio. Did you
guys see the stat? Last night? Watched the Notre Dame

(51:18):
game that no Notre Dame head coach had coached the
Irish after being sixty years old, And Brian Kelly obviously
he's on track, and think he turns fifty nine this
year that will be the first coach and he'll end
up probably being the longest tenured head coach and Notre Dame.
Like that's considering how his career started with with the

(51:39):
the tragic death and the scissors you know, the kid
who went up from his video and I was just awful,
and with some of the blow ups and the sideline,
the uneven performances and hew, can you go back a
couple of years ago when they won four games too.
Now now he's used as like he'll be the coach
in perpetuity. Really kind of remarkable turn around, big win
for them over Louisville UM, who can't out the run,

(52:01):
but did look kind of energized running a version of
the option. Last night, coaches coming from app State. Former
wide receiver t J. Hshman's odda joins the show on
the Doug Golip Show on Fox Sports Radio. It appears
the the Zeke deal is gonna get done, and he's
gonna be probably somewhere north of the Todd Gurley deal

(52:23):
with the probably longer term deal as well. Good idea,
A bad idea from the Cowboys. Uh, great idea by
the Cowboys. Actually, he's he's the best back in the
league and in three years she's gonna be underpaid, and
so you get out in front of this um. He
had to force her hand. But I think it's a

(52:44):
great deal for for both, for both sides. Actually, if
the problem is, let's say he's underpaid three years from now,
what's to stop him from doing this again? That talk
is going to have to be had prior to this
being done. And so there has to be an understanding.
We're giving you a deal with two deals left on
your deal, two years left on your deal. You've got

(53:06):
a promise this now that, and it's kind of an
unspoken thing that you're not coming back to the table,
and even if you do coming back to the table, huh,
it's not gonna go your way. But I truly believe
this conversation was sad and that's not gonna be a problem.
I know they all say, they all say, now it'll
be cool, I'll be cool. I'll be cool, no problem,

(53:28):
and then until until they're not. Would you play this weekend?
If the deal gets signed today? Would I play him to?
No question? When I play him, that's that's not even
a question. He's playing and he's gonna help the team.
He's gonna be ready to go. Man, that is drivaline.
I don't care how you feel he'll be a little
sore from practice, just because the intemp to be of
practice and working out is completely different. But no question,

(53:51):
he's on the field, first stop, ready to go. Mhm, dude,
that's not not being football shape. That will get you quick,
won't it. It's gonna get in quick. And so that's
why he's gonna have to spot play. He's gonna have to.
He's gonna get in there six seven plays. Uh, come out,
play a series, take a series off. He did any
long drives, he won't be able to do the entire drive. Um,

(54:14):
but it takes some time to get used to. But competitors, Doug,
you notice, man with when it's a real game, you
can fight through a lot. You don't want him to
fight through it because it's the first game, but if
he had to, you can fight through that. Yeah. When
lights around the popcorns popping, guys or guys can be
can be different, different dudes. Doug Gotli show here on

(54:35):
Fox Sports Radio. Uh, let's let's move around the league
a little bit. What do you think of Jadeveon Clowney
in Seattle. Here's the guy that I think we all
agree has ridiculous talent, But the growing narrative of of
him is when he plays, meaning there are times in
which he doesn't play that hard and that's why you
only have nine sacks instead of you know, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen.

(54:58):
The Seahawks won't franchise him, so he's playing for a
contract and they only am for one year. How do
you think that affects how hard he plays? Oh, He's
gonna play hard. Like the thing about it, because he's
so physically gifted and talented. Station expectations for him are high.
But if you look at it, he's going to a

(55:19):
coach and Pete Curl into a defense that that they're
gonna just let him go. Pete Currol is very, very
underrated and didn't the best out of his players. He
gets the most out of him the most. Dadaveon Clowney
going to Pete Curl in that Seattle defense, I believe
it is gonna have great success because of one the

(55:40):
type of coach to Pete Curl is the type of
culture they created on the defensive side of the ball,
and Pete Carroll is gonna put him in an advantageous
situations to where he's gonna be able to get after
the quarterback and should be a one on one. Uh
maybe on the back they run that over defense, and
so I envisioned him having great success. What what are
your thoughts what Houston's doing getting Laramie Tunsil, getting Kenny Stills,

(56:05):
getting some guys replaced Jeffy and c but mostly going
kind of all in on getting a left tackle like
Laramie Tuncil. I thought it was I thought it was
a great deal. I know they've kind of been bashed
about it, and I did some research, and you used
to pick in the first round this draft. You tell
me what high level left tack when the NFL it's

(56:27):
not worth two late first round draft picks. That that's
a great trade for Houston. He's twenty five years old.
He's on his way to being one of three better
left tackles in the game. And if you if you
make the playoffs and picking the late twenties or early
the med twenties and you only have to give up
two for Larry turner's a great deal. And you get

(56:48):
a four and a six and give up a two
to get Kenny Steel will Fuller Camp staying healthy as
a second receiver to um DeAndre Hopkins, And so I
like me personally, I like that trade more than I
like the County trade for Houston. Big time. Doug gotlib
show here on Fox Sports Radio. All Right, the Green

(57:11):
Bay Packers are gonna take on the Chicago Bears. So
there's been some back and forth about La mattel Floor
not having a ton of audibles within his offense. Aaron
Rodgers used to having a bunch of audibles. How do
you think their partnership works with that Green Bay Packers offense?
This year? It's Aaron Rodgers. Um, it's gonna work as
far and as good as he can take them into play.

(57:32):
Aaron Rodgers one of the top quarterbacks ever played football.
He's picked this offense up like the way you take
a player that's come out of cow Berkeley he has,
and a guy that's played as long as Aaron Rodger bad. Um,
they should have great success. If to me, that's it's
gonna be very interested in how it works out. But
I see them winning the Vision with with Aaron Rodgers healthy,

(57:55):
got one of the top receivers in the league. The
defense has improved. I first see them having a great
all right, So who's not? Like you start looking around
the league, we all agree, Miami is gonna stink right
Cincinnati man, oh man, the Miami is Man, it sucks
for them. Josh Rosen Man. If you think about a

(58:15):
guy that's drafted the top ten to go to two
worst situations in back to back years, Yeah, that's for sure.
They at least on paper of the worst team in
the league. And they seem to have made their decision
on Josh Rosen right, Like, if they thought Josh Rosen
could be the guy, he would be the guy to
start the season. Winn't he? Yes? And no? I mean
maybe they don't want to get him beat up again.

(58:38):
I don't know, but you you would think if they
thought he was a guy, at least let's see, um,
if we are if we're gonna suck and we got
a quarterback, at least we can trade the first pick
for some picks and really improve, um a little faster
than we would have. But yeah, it seems that way. Yeah,
so I got Cincinnati. They're gonna be bad Miami. I

(59:00):
don't know about that. Then people call me a homer
for seeing that does but I don't know about that.
Who They don't have a j Green. They don't have
a good offensive line. That's the key is the offensive
line has been has been battered. Now Corty Glen can
can play this first game, he still hasn't been clear
for Cancutch protocol. Um, they have a good roster. They

(59:21):
just gotta stay healthy. They had a good roster last year.
They just can't stay healthy. They were one of the
worst defense in the history of the league last year,
though I can't get any worse right the way you
can go with up Okay, So again, circular, we have
the bad teams, Cincinnati, Miami Giants, thank you, many good

(59:42):
Giants will be interesting. Uh. How does Eli Manny perform?
Do you, benji? If he's not playing well? And see
how Daniel Johns performs in a regular season and not
the preseason. Um, the John's wild card receivers don't take
uh spending the first four games string the shepherd? How

(01:00:03):
is he gonna come back at with his thumb being
the where it is so that you can flip a
coin with them? But if I have to answer that question,
I would say that they're gonna be a bad team. Yeah,
I think so too. Arizona bad team? Right, Arizona bad team? Yes? Um?
What do we think of Jacksonville? I like Jacksonville and
I'm gonna tell you I like Besonsville. Um. A friend

(01:00:25):
of mine, um just signed with Jacksonville. Nick Foles is
the man. Nick Foles is the man who reaches out
to these kids man and shows his appreciation for them,
coming to play with Jacksonville, whether they're going to help
the team or not. Like for him to reach out
to these young kids the way he has and that

(01:00:45):
I know he has. Nick Foles is the man. These
guys on that team are gonna play and rally around
Nick Foles and what he's doing there in Jacksonville is
not going unnoticed. And I think they're gonna have a
pretty good season. They played Kids City this week, their
home dogs. Hey, well they'll start on one. But that's
just one game, okay. I mean you said you're gonna

(01:01:06):
be pretty good team. They're playing at home in the heat,
in the humidity against Kancy Chiefs. They do have Jalen Ramsey.
They got some dudes on the defensive side of the ball.
I'm just wondering now if that heat, that heat is
something else that that's one thing where you just can't
prepare for that. It's so many candidacy in the summer,
but that's Jacksonville heat. It's different. They are strong on defense,

(01:01:31):
um receiver. Why you don't know what they have which
they can run the ball and play defense. Will that
be enough to beat the Chiefs? I'm not sure. Do
you know the Browns haven't won a week one game
in fourteen years. I saw that stat today and that
was baffling. That's and it's not easy. Playing is not easy.

(01:01:52):
That's not gonna be an easy game. But if the Browns,
who are who everybody's making them out to beat, don't
win this game, they know they're in that street Rams
take on the Carolina Panthers. I think no one really
knows what to expect from from from Cam Newton. What
do you expect. I expect the solid season um kind
of where he's been over the course of his career.

(01:02:14):
But you're talking about the Rams um. Aaron Donald's unblockable. Offensively,
they get Cooper cut back, which is gonna be a
big edition. Losing him really affected that offense and so
top the bottom with their top four receivers were just
as good as anybody in the league. And having him
back is is really gonna be a positive from that offense.

(01:02:36):
Having a healthy Tie Girly's gonna be a positive for
the offense. So that's gonna be tough slid from Carolina.
Doug gotlib show here on Fox Sports Trader. That's the
voice of t J. Hushman Zada. All Right, last last
thing you being a savant at as wide receivers. Okay,
because you were one and you're incredible tactician Amari Cooper.

(01:02:57):
How good is he? Maria Cooper does a really good
job of There's two things that I believe receivers need
to do to be successful. And once I say this,
everybody's gonna start staying Neither are two things that people
need to do, but it is what it is. Um,
you need to be able to decelerate. You need to
be able to separate at the top of the route.
He needs to be able to be press coverage. He

(01:03:18):
does those two things. The only thing because he's a
little consisting with those two things. Um, he's in't consistent
catching the ball. But he does those two things very well,
and he can do it consistently week after week, sixteen weeks.
He can be one of the top receivers in the league.
He just hasn't shown that he can do it consistently
weekend and week out. Why do you have so much

(01:03:40):
problems with the drops two years ago? To me, dropping
a ball isis it's a lack of focus. Man. They
can't hit you anymore like you should never drop a
ball in the middle. That they can't hit you anymore.
And so it's a lack of focus a Marii Cooper
is good with run up or death going to be
that he's looking to run before he catches the ball.
Book for me dropped from allways just to lack of focus. Uh,

(01:04:02):
just not really licking up all in and listening to
the weather things before you unhappy. T J. Houshman's out.
Who's great stuff as always, Man, thanks for joining us, Hey, Doug,
I appreciate for having me. Man keep it going. Fox

(01:04:24):
s R to listen live. Have you guys seen the
horse racing video out there the guy at the at
the O T B track. Okay, So for people who
haven't seen this, and this is this is one of
the great things about social media is you get just
these awkward videos. So it's an o TV off track
betting and which pretty much feels like the smoking room

(01:04:48):
at the airport. Right like you ever walk past the
smoking what's the room where you can smoke at the airport?
It has like glass doors and it opens up and
just smoke just billows out. Everybody looks like fifteen years
older than they really are. They're sitting in there, right,
they're just and just getting there, smoke on before they

(01:05:09):
can walk onto the plane. Just stink like it. So
o t B reminds me of that where I think
usually smoking is legal. You're gambling on race tracks, you know,
all the ponies all over the country, all over the world.
So there's a guy, there's like three or four guys
watching a race up close, yelling, and then there's a
guy closer to the phone camera who's wearing like an

(01:05:31):
awkward shirt, light awkward shirt. He's clearly cheering for the horse,
and he's got the rolled up paper and he's smacking
himself yes, like he's the horse. It's amazing video. That's
amazing music. When you see this video, what do you think?
Apparently these uh off track betting sites are attract quite

(01:05:56):
an interesting crowd. Oh yeah, there's a subculture there. You
guys ever seen the movie Let It Ride? I have not.
I know you have Richard Dreyfuss and Let It Ride.
It's a good yeah that Richard Dreyfuss, Let It Let
It Ride? I would. I would encourage you were kind
of out of weekend where you have time to watch

(01:06:19):
a movie, but maybe week night here before you get
to maction. Yeah, let it ride Richard Dreyfuss back in
UM nine. But it's kind of a goofy. Look at
at guys that go and bet on the ponies? Buyer,
Have you ever been doing o t V? No? No,
I haven't you ever been in the ponies? What about

(01:06:40):
the dogs? Midwestern guys like to bet in the dogs
in the house, but not even the big race at
the local fair. No, I haven't done that. I have.
I've only been on you know, the only horse dracing
you've ever been on is actually Kentucky Dervy. Yeah, I
went to the derby one year. It's pretty amazing. But no,
I did not get in that stance, the rider stance
and smack on myself on the butt. I can understand
if you're with a group of eyes and maybe you're

(01:07:00):
having fun and you know you're laughing and doing that.
But he seemed to be by himself because he was
off to the side where everybody else. Yeah, that guy,
no chance wife for kids, he's bet he's he bet
his wife and kids and lost well, and he did
this is also how you know he was by himself.
He did the fist pump. No one there to high five. Yes, clearly,
whoever was filming it didn't even give him a high five.

(01:07:24):
You know, somebody's somebody's Twitter handle blew up because they
filmed this thing. It's got two point one million views,
and that person isn't getting high five because clearly they're
not together, because he thought this guy is the biggest
clown ever. All right. Up coming next here on The
Doug got Lip Show on Fox Sports Radio, Colin Coward

(01:07:45):
thinks one coach in college football is wildly underrated, even
my thoughts. Next, be sure to catch live editions of
The Doug Dot Leaps Show week days at noon eastern
three pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio, The I Heart
Radio a app Doug Otlip Show, Fox Sports Radio. Anybody

(01:08:05):
care that ver Lander through his third no hitter this
weekend music? You care? Level of care? I'd say about
a one buyer? He he was, what didn't he walk once?
He's like one hitter away from a perfect game. Yeah,
something like that. My interest was zero. Yeah, why why

(01:08:28):
do you think we've gotten to this place like I
agree with you, like no hitter is generally not not
that not that big on personal with me, and very
Lander's kind He wasn't kind of. He was a total
jerk to me at the two thousand seven All Star
Game seven. Yes it's a twelve year beef, yes, twelve years. Wait, wait,
tell me the story. It was All Star weekend there,

(01:08:49):
all Star festivities in San Francisco. Um, my plane got
delayed and uh, it was gonna take a morning flight
to San Francisco for the festivities. Home run Derby's where
you get all or media stuff. Well, our plan didn't
get into late. We didn't get to the ballpark until
four o'clock. Home run Derby what starts at five Because
it's on the West Coast, All the players were gone,

(01:09:10):
betting practice was over, no opportunity to get any sort
of questions, you know, media stuff that I had to
get for Fox Sports Radio. So I waited after the
home run Derby, where pretty much everybody has gone in
the locker room, you have no idea who's sticking around.
So there's maybe like six players in the locker room
after it's done, and Verlander was one of them. And
so I started to ask him just some questions, one

(01:09:32):
of about because the Tigers were in the World Series
the previous year, about All Star Game and home field advantage,
and he looked at me and said, but these are
real original questions. So I was it a long day,
Like all right, you know, I wasn't asking about losing
the World Series by any means, And so then they
just kind of ended right there. Back in two thousand seven, yep,

(01:09:57):
twelve years. Dam much money he's made in his career.
Don't look, no, I won't look um. I'm gonna say, ah,
two million music, you want to guess he's I'm gonna
go higher. I'm gonna go more like a two five.
He gets a little high. Two d twenty six million,
five fifteen seasons. Is that crazy? Two hundred and twenty

(01:10:25):
six million dollars. I honestly would have thought it was higher,
just because I think he's not in fifteen years, yeah, kershaw.
And he's never had a year where he was making
one year he's making less than a million dollars. He's
always been a highly paid guy. Wasn't one of these
guys coming in making a couple hundred grand? I mean,
he's just so much more accomplished than a lot of
the other top paid pitchers in the league. And he's

(01:10:48):
been doing it for so long, I would have thought
he's made more than that. What's what else is crazy?
Is here he is year fifteen, He only has two wins.
He's not getting the three hundred wins. Nobody is anymore crazy, right,
crazy Miguel Cabreras at four seventy five for career home
runs and the way that he hits them. Now he

(01:11:09):
needs to play three more seasons to reach five, which
is absurd. But yeah, total random stat that doesn't back
up anything that we're talking about. But no, you think
it's this week, you think it's the opposite. Actually right.
The other thing I want to talk about is Hugh
Freeze coaching from the hospital bed, like of the Oh

(01:11:30):
my god, I can't believe I saw this, and people
are champion in it and I don't care what he does,
Like it's just the weirdest thing ever. You didn't see it?
Hugh Freezes, Now the heck used to be the old
miss head coach, right, they got caught cheating. Um, there
was some some other stuff going on while he was there.
He goes to Liberty Liberty is the biggest evangelical school

(01:11:51):
in the country. Jerry Folwell founded it. They're playing at
home against Syracuse Dino Baber's. After the game, instead of
going to shake hands, he walked like the midfield and
play it up to the coach's box. That's where Hugh
Freeze pointed to him. Because Hugh Freeze had back surgery
then got staff infection. It was in a hospital bed.
That was That's one of the weirdest things I've ever

(01:12:11):
seen in sports, Like, why not just coach from the hospital.
Why do you have to be in the Let's get
a hospital bed so that you can be the coach's box.
I thought it was also interesting Doug that his he
was positioned sideways instead of straight on. But maybe you
couldn't see the whole field if he was I guess, like,
does he have a gecko I where he can look
at his right eye and see the whole thing? Was

(01:12:32):
weird every day at this time, we like to play
for you a portion of a previous show on Fox
Sport Trade of Fox Sports. When we call it, here's
Colin Cowherd, the newest Notre Dame convert. I'm so over
the criticism of Brian Kelly. Okay, I admit sometimes on
the sideline it looks like his head's gonna explode. He's gruff.
He's not a great interview. He's had four jobs. He's

(01:12:54):
one big at all of them. He's a Notre Dame.
It's an academic power. He won thirteen games last year. Okay,
there are kids that go to Clemson in Bama and
l s U. He can't get It's hard to recruit
kids to Notre Dame. It's the middle of nowhere. It's cold. Listen,
this guy wins everywhere. He does something he did it
last night that very few college coaches do. Some do,
not many. He makes adjustments in the NFL. If you

(01:13:15):
can't make adjustments, you get fired in college. If you
can recruit and can't make adjustments, you're a millionaire. Florida
State this weekend makes no adjustments. Oregon this weekend makes
no adjustments. Tennessee this weekend can't make adjustments. Notre Dame
was awful last night in the first quarter. By the
third quarter, defensively, they'd figured everything out. I think that

(01:13:36):
Notre Dame has finally understood reasonable um. They have a
reasonable perspective, like that they want their virtue to remain intact.
They want to compete nationally, and Brian Kelly is kind
of there. They've both kind of settled, Like settling is
seen as a bad thing, like in malor, you don't
want to settle in marriage. But sometimes like this is

(01:13:58):
as good as he gets and it's okay. And Brian
Kelly used to have his eyes in the NFL and
now he realizes, Hey, you know what if you can
win double digit games three out of four years of
Notre Dame, that's what he's done. Remember in the four
win season two years ago. You can stay there forever
and you can sleep at night with the kids you recruit.

(01:14:19):
You'd be part of it historic uh program, and you've
got a chance once every three or four years to
compete for the whole thing. They believe that Clemson. Clemson
told people that that they gave Clemson the harder game
than Alabama. Did. They think they're really close? And I
think Brian Kelly thinks they're really close. Here's Nick right
on why he thinks the Chiefs are the best team

(01:14:40):
in the NFL right now. The Chief's offense are a
bunch of young great players, young great players tend to
get better as they are approaching the prime of their career.
I know the the assumption is, well, Mahomes won't be
as good as last year. Statistically he might not, but
he's certainly a better football player on September three, nineteen,
then he was on September like. He suffered no major injuries,

(01:15:04):
he went through a full season. He learned from all
those things. Can you go from the thirty first best
defense to the best defense. If you can do that,
to me, you can win the Super Bowl. You can
beat the Patriots. You will beat the Patriots because this
is the best offense in the NFL led by right
now the best quarterback in the NFL until someone takes

(01:15:25):
that crown from him. Um. I tend to agree with
with Nick like I disagree with a lot of things.
But the idea that that Tyreek Hill is gonna get worse,
not better. Pat Mahome is gonna get worse, not better.
Sammy Watkins is gonna get worse, not better. Travis Kells
is gonna get worse, not better. That doesn't make any sense.
It doesn't make any sense. Now. It doesn't mean that

(01:15:48):
the production is as good, but I don't think boredom
is set in because they didn't get to a Super Bowl.
They're still motivated, motivated to beat New England, motivated to
have home field advantage throughout he know, motivated as people
start to adjust to what they do and how they
do it and how people are trying to take away
Tyreek Hill. They do have a new running game that
they gotta figure out. But like, look, we all want

(01:16:11):
to pick apart their defense and that's fair, and they've
improved the defense some so that it should be better.
But as bad as their defense was last year, weren't
they right there as the best team in football? And
all of those young guys are back and they fix
their defense. We're close on zeke why ultimately will be

(01:16:33):
done next in The Doug Gotlip Show. Be sure to
catch live editions of The Doug dot Leap Show week
days at noon Eastern three pm Pacific. What Up Doug
got Leap Show? Fox Sports Radio, Brought to you by
Farmers and Farmers. We've seen almost everything, so we're uncover

(01:16:55):
almost anything when it's game time, having experienced player help
you stay at the game, put their experience into at
Farmers dot com. Are love it, Love football, season, Bears Packers,
Thursday Night Football, Chicago, Illinois, Soldier Field. It should be
amazing Hunter the era football and Chicago has got a

(01:17:18):
home game. Chicago has got a home game. Um, alright.
Some stats here about Ezekie Elliott. Zeke has played forty
three games to the Cowboys. In those games, he's led
the team in yards from scrimmage thirty two times, ranked
second in yards eight times, third, fourth, and fifth in
yards one time each. To say the offense goes through
him would be an understatement from Pro Football Talk, The

(01:17:43):
chatter at this moment in knowledgeable league circles is that
the team and the player have come to terms in
a six year, ninety million dollar extension. The source who
with direct knowledge of the situation tells Pro Football Talk
that the deal is not yet done, but that it's close.
If it's a six year, ninety million dollar extension, the
deal will also have a new money average of fifteen
million per year, but also would tie Elliott to the

(01:18:04):
Cowboys for eight years. Since he has two years left
in the deal, the fifteen million year would look great.
It depends on how much is guaranteed for how long
it's guaranteed, and this is what Jerry Jones does. He's
gonna huff, He's gonna puff, and it's gonna blow your
house down, unless he doesn't because he needs that house
to sleep in at night. All right. The Cowboys are

(01:18:29):
negotiating against themselves, why, well, simple negotiating against themselves because
they think they can win a super Bowl right now.
They've convinced themselves that they can win a super Bowl
right now. And we can only win a super Bowl
if we have all of these pieces in order. There's

(01:18:50):
a little, a little desperation with it, but there's a
little reality to it. I think Giants have been down,
Redskins are down. Eagles are good, but it's not like
they can't beat the Eagles. And you look around the
NFC and you got the Rams beatable, you got the
Saints beatable, Yeah, the Falcons beatable. You know where is

(01:19:16):
the Packers, Bears, Lions. We feel like this is our window.
But just because it's your window doesn't mean you have
to overpay. I mean, look, my kid's first day of
school was today and I want to thank my mother

(01:19:37):
in law, Randy Collier. She came out and took the
girls shopping. Uh, they were actually shopping a couple of
times the last couple of weeks, and my son woke
up this morning he's like, Dad, I didn't get any
new gear for school. And I was like, look, dude,
let me explain something to you. If I got you
new gear in the last two weeks, you might be

(01:19:58):
able to get a couple of shirts and a pair
of shorts for you know, hundred fifty bucks. Right. If
I wait two weeks, all of those same places that
loaded up on back to school gear be on sale,
and so you can get either the same shirts and
shorts for or you can get twice as much stuff

(01:20:20):
for und fifty bucks. It's like, really, yeah, that's the
way it works, right. That's why it works. The reason
you have happy hour on Monday through Thursdays because people
get paid on Friday and then they want to go
oheat and drink. So you're gonna up charge on how
much it costs on the weekend. Duh. The alcohol costs
them not one penny more for the bar to put

(01:20:43):
out there. The service didn't cost a pennymore. But they
know that people get money in their pocket and they
immediately need to go spend it. That's the the yolo mentality,
and Jerry Jones might be eighty, but he's got the
yolo men palady. There's no reason he was in a
good position. He made a good offer. I think the

(01:21:05):
world agrees with him that Todd Gurley's deal was not
a good one. You know, the world agrees with him there,
Todd Gurley's deal is not a good one. You don't
have to outdo a bad deal. And the Cowboys got
the benefit of the benefit of having an easy schedule
the first three games of the season. You play this

(01:21:28):
thing through the media and though it really doesn't matter now, look,
would you like to have a Zeke Elliott more sure?
Do you want to have him fully in shape and
ready before you actually play meaningful games? You do? You
don't want them to sit two weeks, come in week three,
not be in shape, then week before it gets real

(01:21:48):
and now a sudden you know, he pulls a pulls
a hamstring or soft tissue, or he gets beat up
and banged up and he's not ready for it. There's
lots of benefits to paying a little bit more now
and getting it done. But there's the other side to it,
which is anybody you have who's at the top of
their craft, and as a couple of years left in
their deal, they're gonna come in and say, you paid Zeke,
why can't you pay me, Which, by the way, is

(01:22:13):
why the Chargers are doing what they're doing. It's not
just that they don't think that Melvin Gordon is an
elite running back. It's that they know Joey Bosa next
year is gonna come in and ask for the moon,
the stars, the sun and maybe a couple of satellite
dishes that's that that go that orbit the Earth. And
they can't sit there and go, hey man, you gotta
wait your turn, or hey man, we're gonna give you

(01:22:34):
a reasonable deal like we gave Melvin Ingram. If you
give mel given to Melvin Gordon. Just can't because Melvin
Gordon is not top of his craft. They did offer
him above what they wanted, and when he balked, they said,
you know what, you're under contract. You're not a free agent.
Show up. We can discuss things, but that other contract

(01:22:55):
offers off the table. And of course Melvin Gordon's you know,
tight about it. Of course he doesn't like it. No
one likes to hear the word no, But sometimes that's
the only way that reverberates to the locker room. These
guys ain't messing around. Jerry Jones is that parent who

(01:23:21):
will buy their kid everything and then not understand why
their kid is spoiled. Right, My wife has this thing
she does with our kids, like last night again, first
day of school for two of them, and my daughter's
best friend lives next door, and for the last two

(01:23:43):
weeks they have been completely inseparable because the best friend
next door, you know, one of her several best friends,
is going to high school. My daughter's in eighth grade,
so they'll see each other most every day, but they're
not going to school together. So it's the idea of, hey,
you know, she actually may move to another house down
the streets. She won't be neighbors, they're not going the

(01:24:04):
same school. They'll see each other, but not as often.
Let's just soak it up last days of summer. So
it's like seven o'clock thirteen, they don't go to bed
till you know, nine or nine thirty whatever. My wife
was like, no, we're done, that's it, it's over. We
gotta get yourself ready for the first day of school,
and so I pulled her aside I was like, it's

(01:24:25):
like seven o'clock, they're fine. She said, you know every
once in a while your kid has to her hear no,
Why well, they don't ever hear no. And then they
do hear no on something, you know, serious, they won't
understand how to take it. And sure enough, when she
heard no, she lost her mind, crying, you guys understand me.

(01:24:49):
Why are you guys so mean? Are you so strict?
We're like, right, you basically had a running play date
sleepover for the last two weeks, and with two hours
left in summer, we're like, we're good. You start melting down.
There are parents that there aren't really these rules, There
aren't really these boundaries. They don't want to be that

(01:25:10):
parent that's being told they're the bad person. That's who
Jerry Jones, and Jerry's the worst kind of a parent
like that because he likes to pretend like he's the
one that has the rules. My kids only eat vegetables,
they don't eat any they don't eat chips, they don't
drink soda, they go to bed on time. I got
great kids. And then all of a sudden, those kids

(01:25:31):
go to somebody else's house and they raid the snacks
and they've never heard no, never heard no. So I
guess that it ultimately gets done. I will be interested
to see who actually wins in the guaranteed money. I'm
guessing it's a it's on the team's side of short

(01:25:54):
term guaranteed money, it's on the player's side of long term,
long term. You right, feels like his agent wants to
win this thing. That's what they all want to do.
But the Cowboys want to win this thing because they
don't want to pay top dollar, because they said they're
not gonna pay top dollar. But if you didn't know
that Jerry Jones would ultimately sign the Zekei Elliott to

(01:26:15):
a long term contract even though Zeke was under contract
for two more years, you haven't been paying attention to
who Jerry Jones actually is. Cowboys insider and radio host
Matt Moseley joins the show. Does he think the Cowboys
are doing the right thing paying Zeke? And who gets
paid next? And how good are they? We discuss next.

here in the Doug Oatlamp Show on Fox Sports Radio,
Matt Moseley and Jonas in moments. He's got the Matt
Mosley Show. He's a big Cowboys insider. Also does uh

(01:26:59):
uh uh what's that pod called the Doomsday Podcast? Doomsday
Podcast circles around the Dallas Cowboys. No matter how I
spoke about or how I have spoken about uh, Zeke
Elliott and the Cowboys, I did believe and do believe
still this will be done in time. I didn't believe

(01:27:22):
that I wouldn't have drafted Zeke. I think number four
in my fantasy draft. Thanks really good. But I said
this yesterday on and today on Cowherd, which is, you know,
running backs are a little bit like doctors and lawyers.
When we were kids in my area, the parents that
had the money, Their parents were doctors and lawyers. Like

(01:27:43):
doctors and lawyers still do rather well, very well. But
the guys that are making the ridiculous sums of money
that are private jetting it, you know, that are multi
multi house guys. The guys that go out of the
Hampton's to the Caymans, any of the islands. They're constantly

(01:28:04):
skiing those are tech guys. Those are finance guys. And
that's no different than the NFL. Wide receivers are killing
it now, quarterbacks are killing it now, left tackles are
killing it now. D ns are killing it now. So
we'll see exactly, h exactly what happens. And then I

(01:28:26):
saw this story. The Redskins may reportedly end up keeping
their best player after he staged to hold out the
last three months. Trent Williams failed to appear at mandatory minicamp.
He's been absent ever since. Now, former teammate D'Angelo Hall
says the seven time Pro bowler should be returning the
team soon. During a podcast called Hail the Podcast, he

(01:28:50):
told Aaron Hawksworth that Williams could return to the Redskins
sooner rather than later. Ian Rapaport confirmed it. Bruce Allen said, well,
I think Trent is going to play football. Yes, we
had a surprising retirement this week in the NFL, and
I don't see Trent retiring. In other words, the Redskins

(01:29:11):
are holding steady, holding strong, Like, yeah, you know you
had the medical team might have misdiagnosed something on your head,
but that doesn't mean anything about us. Trent just want
a new contract. William's issues with the Redskins are not
financial at all. He told his teammates that he demanded
a trade or release due to their handling of a

(01:29:33):
recent medical situation, and he vowed never to play for
them again. Never is a really long time. I also
think that this is this falls into the if Zeke
and Jerry Jones and the Ross and Rachel the NFL.
Then any time guys are holding out and they say
crazy stuff like I'll never play for that team ever

(01:29:53):
again because the medical staff misdiagnosed a growth on my head.
That feels like way we're out of bra Matt Moseley,
friend of the show, host his own show in Austin
and Waco, also the Doomsday Podcast alongside ed Warder, focusing
on the Cowboys. He joins U in the Doug Gotlip Show.
Is the Zike deal done done? Oh? I, I think

(01:30:19):
he's headed this way. Obviously, you've seen the photos coming
back from Cabo. Good. Would be good to have him back.
I'm not gonna be at the airport to welcome him back,
but I think Jerry loves the dramatic build up to
the season, will capitalize on this in some way. I'm
surprised he didn't go in the in the helicopter. He

(01:30:40):
likes arriving as grandson's high school games in the helicopter.
I'm surprised he didn't take the helicopter to pick up Zeke.
But it certainly sounds like it's headed that way, Doug.
The major installation of the game plan goes in tomorrow,
and so it would not shock me if Zek is there.
But unlike some of these reporters, who, my gosh, have

(01:31:02):
you ever seen more incremental updates on the hour? Oh
my gosh, there's a sense of urgency. It's gonna happen
by Monday. Oh no, So you know, I'd rather not
be first and be somewhat accurate than be out there,
you know, looking like a buffoon like some of these folks. Uh,
you know, in this coverage of this thing, I don't
know what this is mostly mostly gonna name names. You're

(01:31:25):
just gonna call people out and assume that everybody reporting
on the Cowboys doesn't know what they're talking about. No, no no, no,
I they the people who need to know know what
I'm saying. I mean, I got great friends in this
industry who know how to handle these things. But uh,
some folks have just been desperately to be first, and
so they're playing fast and loose with the rules and

(01:31:46):
the language, how they use it and all that kind
of stuff. But it's just been it really Sometimes we
just kind of embarrass ourselves in our profession, and some
of this seek reporting has been pretty rough, I would say. So.
I don't really want to name names, but I think
I think you wouldn't have to. You wouldn't have to
look too long and hard to to see who's been

(01:32:07):
a little bit, you know, drawing off sides on this thing.
Matt Mosley Johns and that Mosley show covers the Cowboys
has on radio show. Um, okay, so does the does
the that thing get done before the season or they
just play as is? No, I think they're I think
you're comfortable, and I think his side has gotten comfortable,

(01:32:28):
uh playing as is on that way. I've seen this
play out before. I was, in fact, I um I
was on that story when Tony played in the two
thousand and seven season, and Tony and his people were
very They're like, Okay, this thing needs to happen now,
and he ended up he was going so well in
two thousand seven. That first year underway, he ended up

(01:32:49):
driving his number way up. Now, I don't think it's
hard to drive a number up that much from thirty mill.
But I think everybody's somewhat comfortable going to this season.
Mandak has really looked pretty good, honestly in the way
he's handled this and he's not gotten all been out
of shape. But he's not sent any big messages or anything.

(01:33:10):
So I think, um, I think he'll just kind of
wait and let this thing play out. Um. And so
I don't think, uh, I don't think they fill some
enormous sense of urgency. They get Dak and Seek done
in the same week. I think you get the I
think you get to Seek thing done, and then at
some point during the season that that thing probably gets done.
But I don't you, I don't think there's there's some

(01:33:32):
in huge sense of urgency to get that done before
the Giants game. Lyle Collins got a new deal today
that freed up cap space immediately. Um, he struggled last
year with the position change. Is that the reason that
it's such a team friendly deal? Um? You know, I don't.
I guess we can call these things team friendly. I

(01:33:53):
mean the fact that he was undrafted and you know,
just got a kind of a decent bonus when he
came out. I mean, I I saw the number. I've
seen thirty five million guaranteed, so I guess you could
certainly he could have gotten a lot more on the
on the open market. So in that way, it is
team friendly. But I I think you know the thing
is Cowboys had plenty of salary kept space to get

(01:34:16):
all this done, and they were just desperately hoping not
to like give Zeke Gurley money. And what what uh
what Zeke did is just cutting line. Now you know,
Lyle I think he gotta he's fine with that. What
happened is Lyle's agent and Sjalen's agent that was smart.
They just kind of they just kind of jumped in line, said, okay,

(01:34:37):
we'll do team friendly. We'll do quote unquote team friendly,
and then these other guys can wait for these enormous contracts.
What zek did is he cut in line in front
of in front of Dak in a MARII and uh,
and he's gonna get his He's gonna get his money.
And you're seeing some numbers already thrown around and he'll
be able to claim that he is the highest paid

(01:34:59):
back in the NFL by some measure. Whether that's per year,
whether that's the guaranteed, who knows, but by some measure,
when this announcement gets made, he'll be able to say,
I'm the highest paid back in the NFL. What How
good is the team is? Who say it again? How
good is a team? Like? You know, Cowboys? Cowboys? People

(01:35:20):
think it's a super Bowl team. You got a little
cynic to you, You've got a little reality to you.
How good is this football team? Yeah? I do have
a little bit of that in me. I mean they're
I think they're eleven and five good. I think eleven
and five ten six is reasonable. I think they're kind
of right there. I think this thing is very close
with the Eagles. These other two teams are really bad,

(01:35:40):
and the Eagles and Cowboys just slug this thing out.
So um, I think the offensive lines in better shape
than it was last year. And he did pretty well
last year once they got a Mari in here. The
offensive lines in better shape. I mean, I think you
could actually expect this team to be better than it
was last season. So I I do not think and again,
I'll be the first to tell you when when this
is a team that can't get it done. But I've

(01:36:03):
looked at the schedule. I mean, eleven or twelve wins
is perfectly doable. And then we'll go and then they'll
end up, you don't having a chance. Perhaps the divisional
playoff game against the Rams again or somebody, and we'll
see if they can ever break through. I mean, they
were not ready for prime time in that Rams divisional game.
That's the big breakthrough. If they break through that game

(01:36:25):
and get to an NFC title game, everybody gets rewarded.
I mean it'll be contract extensions all around, and that
that includes Jason Garrett. That's all they have to do.
It's not Super Bowl or bus. It is when a
divisional playoff game, get back to the NFC title game
for the first time since the nineties, and it'll be
just huge contract extensions for everybody. And uh, you know

(01:36:49):
it's funny, is I've got Byron Jones those quarterbacks like, hey,
what are you doing, agent, Go get go, get our money.
Because the Cowboys right now love sending all these messages
because what they're saying is you work with us, will
reward you you don't hold us up or try to
get the highest at your position to see they can.
Everybody can always make these claims. Did you see that

(01:37:10):
Loud Collins the highest paid right tackle ever? You can
always like make these claims. So and then the agents
are happy, the players are happy, and then they all
move on down the road. They will be able to
claim that Seek is the highest paid running back in
the NFL, and and and everybody will everybody will be
pleased about that. Yeah. Look, I think he's really good.

(01:37:31):
I think he's really important to them. I don't love
the girly deal as the one to to your market,
but I understand how this works. I just thought that
I thought the Cowboys had more leverage, uh then than
they're gonna end up using up. But we'll see what
the final details on the deal are. We always knew, though,
that Jerry Wood in fact cave on some level and
give a guy a new contract, because that's who, that's who,

(01:37:52):
That's who Jerry is. That that's who Jerry is. Matt.
Great stuff is very great stuff as always, Thanks so
much for joining us. Don't my best both tailor in
Okahoma State one and oh and moving and boy I
love that Spencer Sanders. WHOA, that kid's got something hard
hard to tell because Oregon States so bad defensively. In
Oklahoma State's two studs offensively, you know, they got a

(01:38:15):
great running back and a great wide receiver. But yes,
it did look like Spencer Sanders the real deal, running
it and throwing it, running for over a hundred yards
and throwing and throwing the football in Organ State and
TCU and Ola State look bad. So maybe the Bears
and Pokes can jump up there and and kind of
get in the mix. I mean, that's at least the
way I'm trying to sell this thing right now. Texas

(01:38:36):
Texas home Dogs, home Dogs. Everybody's raving about Texas being
back being being back home dogs to l s U.
Who do you like this weekend? Oh give me the
give me the give me LSU coming in there. I mean,
Texas is not ready for this. This onslaught and they're
gonna take over that stadium and six Streets gonna be.

(01:38:57):
They're gonna turn six Street into Bourbon Street. At thing's
gonna you and I should be at that game. I
know you've got some you know, one of your kids
is playing or something. But there's no reason in the
world we should not be right in the middle of
that type atmosphere. We should, we should, we should. My
son has his first tackle football game at one o'clock
West Coast time. The game is the game's like seven

(01:39:17):
thirty local. So unless unless you've got a private plane.
Maybe I'll ask how heard if he's got a private
that's the only week you get there. Oh, he loves
tweeting about that when he has to get all those
private planes to go to one of those deals in Tahoe. Hey, going, guys,
going to Tahoe this weekend? You want to get on
some of those things. Doug Goodness? All right? Does he
work in this Friday? Is is he back? Now? He's

(01:39:40):
wearing Sundays too at the NFL, So he won't. He wouldn't.
He wouldn't go unless we could fly back right afterwards.
Whould I be okay with? Okay? Yeah, that would be
a baller move. That's gonna be so much fun. I
like I like Texas by the way. I like Texas
to win the game. Hey, I'll be at I'll be
at Baylor U T. S A. At three o'clock kick
hundred and one. Uh looking for about a high of

(01:40:01):
one oh two. That's that is how but that is
how sick I am. Uh So anyway, all right, all
my best Doug, okayverybody high. We we only have you
on for the bailor Bear talk. I want to want
you to thanks, Matt. Be sure to catch live editions.
So the Doug got Leap Show week days at noon
eastern three pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the

(01:40:22):
I Heart Radio app Doug Gotlip Show here on Fox
Sports Radio. Remember the There's been reports that Aaron Rodgers
has won a tug of war with Matt Lafleur overcalling audibles.
Here's Matt Lafloor, head coach the Green Bay Packers two
days for the first game he will coach as head
coach of this historic franchise. Responding at the combine, you

(01:40:43):
mentioned that audibles weren't be a big part of this.
Will not stop with this audible thing. It's unbelievable. What
do you guys want me to say? I find it
interesting that it had about a big part of it
in the past, but maybe it's gonna be now, Honey.
Is that can be a big adjust your Yeah, I
think that we've always had adjustments within our plays, like

(01:41:05):
it's just we called it something different, and the fact
that I didn't call it an audible. Everybody's running while
with it, so uh, it's comical to me. I mean, look,
mountl Floor is smiling the whole time. He's trying to
kill him with kindness, and explain that you call it
an audible. You say potato, I say potato. The idea

(01:41:27):
of what Whearon Rodgers has always done is you have
a play, you come up to the line of scrimmage.
If you don't like that play, check into a different
play that you do like. The idea of this system
is you come up essentially with two plays, and based
upon how the defense is playing, you call one of
the two plays. You know, and I'm sure Rodgers maintains

(01:41:53):
the ability to kill, kill, kill, and change, you know,
completely change things. By the way, I'm watching an old
on the NFL network, an old Packers game, Lynn Dickey
warming up at quarterback. It ten touchdowns and twelve interceptions,
and his throwing motion looks horrific in comparison to a

(01:42:16):
modern day throwing motion. Lynn Dickey. People forget how bad
the Packers were before the Magic Man. Don Mkowski and
then after Don Mkowski, it was Brett Farve. They were
today had a decade where they were just the worst
team in the league and nobody went and they've been
competitive ever since. Why because they've had two of the
greatest quarterbacks in the history of the sport. The idea

(01:42:40):
of what Matt Lafleur is trying to do is he
wants to win the argument without winning the argument. Okay,
we're gonna have audibles. We've always had audibles. Even if
you haven't really had audibles, we gained column audibles if
you want, if you don't like that play, you can

(01:43:01):
check to this play. You can audibilize to it, right
when really that's what they've been doing all the time.
My guess is the Floor is pretty smart guy, and
as a young guy, he comes in and he's got
to kiss the ring a little bit and challenge Aaron
Rodgers a little bit and figure things out and find
a way to get Aaron Rodgers to buy in. And
if getting Aaron Rodgers to buy in is making him

(01:43:22):
think that he's getting to choose how and why he audibilizes, fine,
as long as he audibilizes the same way Matt Laflour
would want who really cares If la Floor is really smart.
It feels like he is. He doesn't care if he
gets credit, doesn't get credit for who calls the play,
who caused the audible. As long as the team successful,

(01:43:43):
we win, we win, everybody gets paid. Maybe that's the
new era of the NFL. Maybe it's just a new
era in Green Bay. But it feels like him laughing
off these reports about the Audibles means there's some sort
of disconnect in just a word audible and what they
the freedom that they really will allow Aaron Rodgers to have,

(01:44:06):
still gonna be able to be Aaron Rodgers, still gonna
able to run around and make plays. But in terms
of the play that's called, can we simplify it a
little bit so we don't have the entire playbook at
our disposal every time we step up in the line
of scrimmage. I don't think that's a crazy ask. Coming
up next is Gronk Rob Gronkowski looking to make a

(01:44:26):
comeback already find out next. Be sure to catch live

Thanks to Matt Moseley, My thanks to Daniel Jeremiah. That's
one more thank you, one more thank you to h. T. J.
Manzana for joining us earlier. If you missed, you can

(01:45:32):
download the Doug gott Leap Show podcast whoever you download podcast.
Also my All Ball podcast always available on the Heard
podcast network. Let's get to the Press, the Press, Dan
Buyer Go Doug. Retired Patriots centered Rob Gronkowski told Adam
Schefter on the Schefter Run Schefter podcast that he knows

(01:45:53):
he will be physically ready to play football again, but
still said that he has to have the passion to
come back and play if he's going to return from retirement.
My passion does that mean money? I don't. I don't
think so. I think that it's just he's gonna play.
You think so, I'm gonna play football. He's also doing
like Ian Rappaports pod as well. It's gonna say the
exact same thing. Look, if you played football your whole life,

(01:46:16):
and all of a a sudden your body is feeling good
and you watch guys play for four or five weeks, like, man,
I want to play football again, you'll play football again.
He joked that he has five go routes in him
right now and that if Tom Brady rubbed some CBD oil,
which is part of the product that he's pushing, he'd
be ready to go. So there's yet no I have,
not I have, UM, I don't know. I think it works. OK.

(01:46:41):
I was gonna say, it's so like you didn't know
if it made a difference or not. I can't tell
with my brain or my body, you know what I mean.
It's like the placebo effect CBD for people don't know
there's two. There's there's two drugs in marijuana. CBD is
the non lucinogen variety, right, it's the THHC is the

(01:47:03):
one that makes you. CBD is totally legal now and
it's in a lot of products and people put in
dog food to calm your nerves, whatever, help your joints.
Some people swear by Jim Zorn trying to lead this
eighty five Packers team against this Bears two minutes to go,
um somehow, I think the Bears pull it out since
this is from the eight five season. Just a guess,

(01:47:25):
but that's one game Monday football. Dolphins just hit Eddie
Lee Ivory for a for a pass. We'll see they're
still in Packers territory with eighty seconds left on the clock,
a throw from Zora Paul Kaufman former tight end obviously
Chase Kaufman was his son who went to Missouri and
had some time in the NFL. Now, Oh Green Bays

(01:47:48):
at midfield, Doug. They have two time outs remaining, with
a minute sixteen to go, two time outs remaining. They're
under center though it's Chicago. Yes, you mentioned this about
twenty minutes ago, but Trent Williams could be back to
the Redskins soon, maybe as soon as we two Redskins
name and Darius Geiss as they're starting running back. Yeah,

(01:48:08):
Peterson's gonna be the backup. They got the Eagles coming
up on Sunday. That's interesting. Obviously Geiss was drafted to
be the starter and then Peterson replaced him after injury
last year. And Peterson had a thousand yards rushing last season.
We'll see how much what he can do is it's
hard for him to be a backup. He can't be
a third stringer because he can't play special teams. Zorne
just overthrew James Lofton, according to throw Away. According to

(01:48:30):
documents obtained by the USA Today, former trainer Ian Danny
pleaded the Fifth Amendment forty six times in questioning the
summer about injecting his clients with p E d s.
That includes a question on whether he injected Tim Tebow.
The lawsuits being brought against Danny by the NFL Li'man
Corey allegiates with the Raiders right now. Legit was suspended
four games at the start of last season after he

(01:48:52):
tested positive for performance and answers Tebow huh now, I
will say this that if you're gonna not answer any questions,
it would be kind of odd if all of a
sudden you answered that question. That may be so just,
but the two pass interference not called. There's going through
a deep collision between wide receiver and cornerback. If only

(01:49:12):
Forest greg could have this reviewed right now to see
if it was passing her Florence or not. Philip fps
was trying to go deep. At the Feeble World Cup.
Team USA edge Turkey two and overtime. Chris Middleton hit
a couple of free throws with two seconds left in
the game to help the United States get victory. With
nine seconds left to go in the game because of like,

(01:49:35):
there's a different rule for intentional foul whatever unsportsmanlike conduct
of what it's called sports like foul. Turkey had four
free throws. They missed all four. Doges Balbay, who played
at Texas, missed the first two. He was never a
good shooter, and then Seti Ausmen missed two more. That's
what opened the door for Team USA to come back
and win that game. Can't spell choke without Turkey. Actually

(01:49:57):
you can spell it, but it's not as much fun.
Zorne just one hopped one to Philip Epps and it's
not looking good for great down one minute to get
what I meant together. We're watching a week nine game
from Bears Packers. Janis and Tenna Coompo had just thirteen points.
Is Grease lost in the World Cup, so Brazil seventy
seventy eight. After the game, relaxed, Brazil head coach Alexander

(01:50:19):
Petrovick said, quote, why this sport is wonderful? You have
a guy who won the m v P, he's twenty
three years old, and who stops him tonight? The guy
who was forty years old and kicks his rear and
it was four years old. Alex Garcia was the thirty
nine year old Brazilian who shut down Jannie. Why do
you make him a year older? Rounding up? Yeah, maybe

(01:50:43):
maybe when it's like when you people ask you how
old are you, you never say the age. You always
say what you're going to be in, Like I'll be
for me, you know, forty three in January? Yeah, or
I just turned I just turned. Well, you don't do
the kid thing where you saying forty two and a half.
You know, I celebrate the half birthday brought that up. Yeah,

(01:51:05):
for fun, but you're sarcastic, right, yeah? Yeah? Just check
the The l a home of Lakers Center JaVale McGee
was burglarized over the weekend. TMZ reports that two safes
were taken from the property. The report says more than
two dollars worth of cash and valuables were in the
safe that included mcgeese championship ring from the Warriors. Apparently.

(01:51:28):
Did you hear the real there's a realtor who has
apparently charged in some of these celebrity burglaries. Oh no,
I did not. The burglary happened on Saturday, but he
didn't return home from Labor Day until earlier today, so
the robbery had happened for a couple of days. So
they checked surveillance footage and found that it went down
on on Saturday. By the way, green Bay turned it

(01:51:50):
over on downs, they only have one time out, so
Jim McMann and the Bears could probably take a knee
and wrap this one up for forget how bad the
Packers were early mid eighties. Oh yeah, yeah, it was
quite a time. Four and twelve was was a common theme.
Big Day today at San Francisco, the Warriors held a
ribbon cutting ceremony at their new home, the Chase Center.
The arena opens up later this week with a concert

(01:52:13):
featuring the San Francisco Symphony and Metallica Warriors. Um yeah,
I think they're playing together. It's one of those special thing.
Warriors will open up their season obviously coming up in October,
but the concert gets to open up the Chase Center
in San fran That's Stan By crass bag it out there,
and that was the press. So the Zike deal isn't dumb,

(01:52:35):
but it feels like it's gonna be done. And the
key element you need to look for is what the
number is, the the final number, the guaranteed number, because
that's the win that Zeke side is going to try
and announce, whereas the team won't try and announce probably
a win, you know, by not saying one or the other,

(01:52:57):
they'll win that way I understand. I'm saying like if
they teams don't usually celebrate when they won one side
of the negotiation, that's seen as bad form, but players can. Nonetheless,
the Cowboys will likely have their guy play this weekend,
and the long drawn out soap opera where we all
knew ultimately Ross and Rachel, Zeke and Jerry would end
up together. We'll be together. The question remains, without training

(01:53:22):
camp because you have a soft tissue injury. How does
this shape the negotiations for other Dallas Cowboys and what
does the back end of the deal look like. But
to get more money than a Todd Gurley contract, which
most people deemed to be a bad contract, it seems
like a bad idea. Chris Sims will joined us tomorrow.
We'll we'll talk about Notre Dame, Texas and John Gruden

Let's get to the press, the press, Dan Buyer Go Doug.
Retired Patriots center Rob Gronkowski told Adam Schefter on the

(01:54:28):
Schefter Run Schefter podcast that he knows he will be
physically ready to play football again, but still said that
he has to have a passion to come back and
play if he's gonna return from retirement. My passion does
that mean money? I don't. I don't think so. I
think that it's just he's gonna play. You think so,
I'm gonna play footballer he's also doing like Ian Rapp
reports pod as well, it's gonna say the exact same thing. Look,

(01:54:52):
if you've played football your whole life, and all of a
a sudden your body is feeling good and you watch
guys play for four or five weeks, like, man, I
want to play football again, you'll play football. He joked
that he has five go routes in him right now
and that if Tom Brady rubbed some CBD oil, which
is part of the product that he's pushing, he'd be
ready to go. So there's the yet, No, I have not,

(01:55:14):
I have, UM, I don't know. I think it works. Okay.
I was gonna say, it's so like you didn't know
if it made a difference or not. I can't tell
with my brain or my body. You know what, I mean, yeah,
it's like the placebo effect. CBD For people don't know,
there's two. There's there's two drugs in marijuana. CBD is

(01:55:36):
the non hallucinogen variety, right, it's the th HC is
the one that makes you. CBD is totally legal now
and it's in a lot of products and people put
in dog food to calm your nerves, whatever, help your joints.
Some people swear by it. Jim Zorn trying to lead
this eight Packers team against this Bears a well, two

(01:55:56):
minutes to go, um, somehow I think the Bears it
out since this is from the five season, just a guess,
but we lost one game. Monday football Dolphins just hit
Eddie Lee Ivory for a for a pass. We'll see
they're still in Packers territory with eighty seconds left on
the clock. Let a throw from Zora Paul Kaufman former

(01:56:18):
tight end obviously Chase Kaufman was his son who went
to Missouri and had some time in the NFL. Now,
oh Green Bays at midfield, Doug. They have two time
outs remaining, with a minute sixteen to go, two time
outs remaining. They're under center though it's Chicago yes, you
mentioned this about twenty minutes ago, but Trent Williams could
be back to the Redskins soon, maybe as soon as

(01:56:40):
we two Redskins name and Darius Geis as they're starting
running back. Yeah, Peterson's gonna be the backup. They got
the Eagles coming up on Sunday. That's interesting. Obviously Guys
was drafted to be the starter and then Peterson replaced
him after injury last year. And Peterson had a thousand
yards rushing last season. We'll see how much what he
can do is it's hard for him to be a backup.
He can't be a third strain because he can't play
special teams. Zorne just overthrew James Lofton. According according to

(01:57:07):
documents obtained by the USA Today, former trainer Ian Danny
pleaded the Fifth Amendment forty six times in questioning the
summer about injecting his clients with p E d s.
That includes a question on whether he injected Tim Tebow.
The lawsuits being brought against Danny by NFL. I'man Cory
allegiates with the Raiders right now. Legit was suspended four

(01:57:27):
games at the start of last season after he tested
positive for performance and answers tebow huh. Now, I will
say this that if you're going to not answer any questions,
it would be kind of odd if all of us
and you answered that question. That may be so so
just but the t pass interference not called. There's going
through a deep collision between wide receiver in cornerback. If

(01:57:49):
only Forest greg could have this reviewed right now to
see if it was pass interference or not. Philip FS
was trying to go deep at the Feeble World Cup
to e U s A edged Turkey two and overtime.
Chris Middleton hit a couple of free throws with two
seconds left in the game to help the United States
get victory with nine seconds left to go in the

(01:58:10):
game because of like, there's a different rule for intentional
foul whatever unsportsmanlike conduct of what it's called sports foul.
Turkey had four free throws. They missed all four. Doges Balbay,
who played at Texas, missed the first two. He was
never a good shooter, and then Seti Ausmen missed two more.
That's what opened the door for Team USA to come

(01:58:31):
back and win that game. Can't spell choke without Turkey.
Actually you can spell it, but it's not as much fun.
Zorne just one hopped one to Philip Epps and it's
not looking good for Green. We're down one minute to
get one meant together. We're watching a week nine game
from Bears Packers Jadis Antenna. Coompo had just thirteen points.
Is Grease lost in the World Cup, so Brazil seventy

(01:58:53):
seventy eight. After the game gotlaxed, Brazil had coach Alexander
Petrivick said, quote, why this sport has wondered of full
You have a guy who won the m v P,
he's twenty three years old, and who stops him tonight?
The guy who was forty years old and kicks his
rear and it was four years old. Alex Garcia was
the thirty nine year old Brazilian who shut down Janice.

(01:59:14):
Why do you make him a year older? Rounding up? Yeah,
maybe maybe when it's like when you people ask you
how old are you, you never say the age. You
always say what you're going to be in, Like I'll
be for me, you know, forty three in January? Yeah,

(01:59:34):
or I just turned I just turned. Well, you don't
do the kid thing where you say forty two and
a half. You know I celebrate the half birthday. I
brought that up, Yeah for fun, But you're sarcastic, right, yeah? Yeah.
Just check the The l a home of Lakers Center
JaVale McGee, was burglarized over the weekend. TMZ reports that
