Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America,
the official trading cards of the program. We'll talk to
our good buddy. Former NFL player and executive Lewis Riddick
works for the Mothership. He was on the call for
the Miami game against Georgia Tech and the Indiana head
(00:49):
coach Kirk Signetti. They are now the fifth ranked team
in America after pulling out the win against Michigan.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Poll question, we'll have a new one.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
We had a few of them in the first hour,
and we say good morning to the iHeartRadio people, Fox
Sports Radio as well, Seaton Poll. Question for hour two
and if you want to finish off hour one as well.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Yeah, hour one, we got up there. Jared Goff had
a good night or a bad night?
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Right now?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Okay, hold on, hold on? Does any okay, PAULI, you
propose this because you think that Jared Goff had a
good night last night, right, Okay? You want to give
the reasoning so the audience can understand why you are
going to be in the minority of probably maybe zero percent,
we're going to agree with you.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
I go three.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
Okay, despite a horrid first three quarters, he did not
lose his cool, shut it down, and led the team
to a late victory that they kind of needed for
home field advantage.
Speaker 7 (01:49):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
And every quarterback has a game like that once a year,
even good quarterbacks. And what they do to finish that
game is big.
Speaker 7 (01:56):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Not many guys have five interceptions, fair, but I will
say it felt like two of them were his fault.
Three maybe not RCI receiver.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Receiver caused interception, all right, Seaton.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
It is funny though, and some of those like he
would he threw the wall and they just see the
reaction of like his.
Speaker 8 (02:15):
Hands going to his head, like.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
No, I don't know if that was three or four
that interception, but he was like, oh my god, it
was to start the second half. The Lions came out,
immediately got an interception, and Jared Goff immediately threw one
right back.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Yeah. Yeah. Does anybody agree with Paulie that Jared Goff
had a good night last night? Anybody in here? No
on earth? What about our audience right now?
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Twenty two percent of the audience agree with Todd paul Heck, yeah, yeah,
Paulie'll take that as able as a seventy eight percent
bad night.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
All right, Yeah, what do you want to go with
our two? We're going to throw up there, throw up
literally who had the worst? We and we need to
populate this.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Oh okay, anyone's got any suggestions, There's a lot, there's
a lot of suggestions.
Speaker 8 (03:06):
We've gone through the quarterbacks already.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
I think the you Miami losing to Georgia, Tech, Matt Eberfluse,
the Bears, coach, the Cowboys, the architect of the stadium,
maybe for at and tea. If you're a local reporter,
(03:30):
do you reach out to the architect today and just say, hey,
can I get you on record tell me what you
were thinking.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
I know I've already googled them and looked them up
just to see if they pointed out how proud they
were of the sunlight.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
I haven't found that just yet.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Okay, but you you have to embrace the sun if
you're going to do it that way strategically of how
the stadium is going to go. If you do east
west as as opposed to north south, the sun is
going to play a role later in the afternoon. By
the way, in case you missed it, here is Jerry
Jones after the game, not being asked about the Cowboys
(04:07):
performance or Mike McCarthy or Dak Prescott or he's being
asked about the sun.
Speaker 9 (04:14):
So we do know whether damn Soun's going to be
in our own stating.
Speaker 7 (04:18):
Why not what the curtains of?
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Why not mitigate that?
Speaker 7 (04:20):
But the sun and the set.
Speaker 9 (04:23):
Share the damn stadium down building.
Speaker 8 (04:25):
The new kidding names.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
But it's not you don't have to go back.
Speaker 9 (04:28):
It's got the same thing. Every team that comes in
here has the same issues. They know whether the son's
gonna be so our team has the same thing.
Speaker 7 (04:38):
So them on might not understanding whether the sun.
Speaker 9 (04:41):
Is not going We're saying, I'm saying the world knows
where the sun is. You get to know that almost
a year in advance. So someone asked me about the
sun and about the son.
Speaker 7 (04:52):
Where's the moon?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Alrighty?
Speaker 3 (04:55):
I love that.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
His response is like, what a gigantic baby. His response
to a reporter saying, why don't you just close the curtains?
Speaker 7 (05:02):
They already there?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Why don't you just close the curtains? Why don't we
just tear the whole thing down?
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Then all you have to do is take these curtains
and close them.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
You paid to have them put in there.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Ye, why when post Malone was there, you close the
curtains for them?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Why don't you just close it for the cowboys?
Speaker 7 (05:18):
Is so entertaining.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Why don't we just tear the whole thing down?
Speaker 10 (05:22):
Then?
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Oh my god, what a baby.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
But we are focusing on the sun and the curtains,
and it's curtains for his football team because the sun
is setting.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Hey, Jerry, do you know where the moon is? Yes?
Speaker 8 (05:38):
Oh my god, the fake laughing.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Yeah, just play that at the beginning.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
You hear that fake laugh from the beginning.
Speaker 11 (05:49):
So we do know where the damp sounds going to be.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
That's fake. That was fake. This has been there, It's
going to continue to be.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
You know, the things that don't change, the owner, the quarterback,
and the sun like those are, they're all gonna still
be there.
Speaker 7 (06:12):
Get fire the sun.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yeah, it's so funny. Are you thinking about bringing in
a new sun, Jerry? Yes, Marvin, Wait, they don't change
the GM either. He's loyal on that's true. Blop bloop bloop.
Al in Atlanta, Good morning, Al. What's on your mind today?
Speaker 10 (06:32):
Just a morning man, not a good one. Best of
the weekend. Unbeknownst to me, my tailgate Holopenio lime moonshine
was delivered on Friday, allowing me to come across it
like an early Thanksgiving present sitting on my bar, and
I was able to take a tomato based barbecue recipe,
(06:55):
add some mustard the Halopenia moonshine, and I made a
delicious chicken barbecue sauce. It's delicious and I'm Worst of
the weekend. The football in the State of Georgia. It
was just horrendous. Georgia State Boat Race UGA lost to
(07:16):
Miss oh Miss Falcons. I don't even know what that
was a quarterback who can't throw a touchdown and a
kicker who can't hit a field goal and we lose
by three points. It was horrible. It made The worst
part is as a Uga fan, I had to say,
the best thing that happened to Georgia and football is
Georgia State and Georgia Southern not playing and Georgia Tech
(07:39):
beating Miami was the worst. At least Lada United BEATFC
Miami and moved on to the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Thank you. By the way, Florida's football programs had the
worst weekend probably in the history of football for individual states.
You had Florida to Florida State, Miami, South Florida, Florida, Atlantic,
Central Florida. They all lost. The Jaguars and the Buccaneers
(08:08):
all lost as well. That's a bad month for the
state of Florida. Stat of the day, start of the day,
stat of the day, start of the day, Statu to day,
Statua day, Statu Today Stada brought you by Panini America,
the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
Yes, Paul I tried to watch the Notre Dame Florida
State game. An I'm a Notre Dame. Guy, Florida State
is non competitive. Last year, we're talking about undefeated team
and you go to a non competitive football team that
was never a game. They threw for eighty eight yards.
Notre Dame is good. They're not that good. I don't
understand how that happened.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Can't You can't go undefeated. Then you start out one
and nine and as a lucky one. Yeah, like you're
one in nine. By the way, we've talked about the
Cowboys their performing, we shouldn't be surprised. The Eagles played
well and the sun was an issue for CD Lamb
dropping a bomb. I didn't realize this, but there was
(09:10):
a video montage that was shown so on the jumbo
tron at the Cowboys stadium. They were paying tribute to
Tom Landry, first Cowboys coach World War Two veteran, and
the name as it appeared on the video board on
the jumbo tron. You can't make this up, Tom Laundry.
Speaker 7 (09:38):
Why drag him into this mess? What's he done? Tom Laundry?
Speaker 2 (09:43):
That's what I said, Yes, Tom Laundry instead of Tom Landry.
Speaker 8 (09:49):
That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
And if you'll direct your attention to the jumbo tron,
we would like to honor our first head coach and
a World War Two veteran, the late Tom Laundry laundry
T shirt. Question Mark should be making Tom laundry t
shirts and just put a hat on it.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Yeah, just you know his fedora.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Yeah, laundry, Tom laundry laundry. Somebody's got to get fired
for that. I don't know why I'm in a somebody's
got to get fired mood today. Not here because everybody
is perfect. Yet it's a long week. Tom laundry laundry
(10:39):
down th h O M L thomb Tom laundry.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Okay, which it spelling is more incorrect thomb or Goff.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
I'm an anti Geoff guy. I'm not much of a
thumb either.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
Why add the h? It's Tom T O M. You're
adding to work and you look.
Speaker 7 (11:01):
Like a dope.
Speaker 8 (11:03):
H Well, I mean Thomas right.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (11:07):
But historically in America.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Well, did Jeffrey GEO g Off come before j E. F.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
F Check?
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Maybe that's why it's g Off. Yes, one of my
daughters dated a Goff and I never called him Jeff.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
At some point, though, it is a conscious decision to
be Tom with or without.
Speaker 8 (11:27):
Yeah, it is a conscious decision.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I gotta drop it, I got to drop the h.
Speaker 12 (11:32):
Is it just another poor effort of parents trying to
do something a little unique because they think somehow their
kid's going to become a little more special because they
have an odd name or their name is spelled differently.
What other motivation would get be that the kid doesn't
name him for herself, that a parent chooses that the special.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
If you get older, you can say, hey, you know
I'm gonna drop the H. Yeah, I mean you can, yes.
Speaker 6 (11:56):
Goff g e O f f is was more common
in England, France, and Germany in the eighteen hundred, and
of course in America it's much more common to be
j E F.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
F G Jeff. Yes, Jeff is an American? That's right, yeah,
j yeah he.
Speaker 11 (12:18):
Jeb job job.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
Would you rather be Jeff or the Jets?
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Here's Aaron Rodgers after the loss.
Speaker 7 (12:24):
A lot of emotions this year, for sure.
Speaker 13 (12:26):
I thought, you know, after a big win, nice long week,
we're going to come out with a lot of energy
and win the game. And we just you know, we
didn't come out with great energy on either side the
ball and offensively, you ain't not gonna be anybody scoring
six points.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Yeah, they looked non threatening, but Arizona looked really good.
Kyler Murray ran for one a couple of touchdown passes.
They played some good defense there. They had some really
long drives. Jets defense looked spent and picked up a win.
Look good.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Yes, when are you laughing at?
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Getting so many tweets right now from Thomb's and goffs.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
His name was literally g Off with a G.
Speaker 8 (13:07):
I feel attacked.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Off my lawn.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
Yeah, you don't just like you just your name. You
could be a great person. He's got a bad name.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Fix it g Off my lawn?
Speaker 14 (13:21):
Geoff?
Speaker 8 (13:23):
Oh sorry about that, pal.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Okay, if you had to pick between g offf or Thomb,
what would you take? Sophie's choice?
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Todd, your your t h O M, or your g Off.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
Lesser of two evils.
Speaker 12 (13:36):
I guess I'll be Thumb and help picked Off to
just deal with Thomb instead.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Of seeing what about you.
Speaker 8 (13:43):
Jeepers, I might beat g Off.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Marvin, I'm going with Thomb song.
Speaker 7 (13:50):
Paul, I'm gonna go with Thomb, but man, I'm not
happy about it.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Yeah, I think I gotta go Thomb because I've made
fun of a Geoff before and then my daughter was
his name is Jeff. I go, no, it's g It's Goff.
It's Geoff Hunt, It's Goff. And then I told her
he looked like Spacoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont. She goes,
I don't know that reference. I said, google it, and
(14:14):
then she googled it. She goes, Okay, he looks like Spacoli,
but don't call him g Off. Yes, Paul.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
I had a grade school gym teacher and we came
back from like sixth grade, and his first name was
Ken k e En, just you know, a normal name.
And he came back and we see on the board
that he wrote his name and it had two ends,
and word got around that he legally changed his name
from Ken to Ken with two ends. Like I went
to a courtroom and paid a fee to add the end.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
But that feels like, that's your name, it's Ken with
two ends, not my name is Ken.
Speaker 7 (14:47):
Do you say the whole?
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Yes, Hi, and what's your name? My name is Sally,
I'm Ken with two ends.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Imagine just constantly you go and like you order your
coffee and then it says Ken with one N on
your coffee cup and you're like, it's actually Kenneth.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
Excuse me, just real quick. Yeah, it's two respect that.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Do you order your Starbucks and you say it's Ken,
two ends?
Speaker 8 (15:09):
Please Ken with two ends? Thank you? Is that two pumps? No?
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Two of everything? Like double sweet? Double heck?
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Double? Yes?
Speaker 12 (15:16):
I think you should be forced to say your name
that way. Hi, my name is Ken.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
Okay, it's nice to meet you.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
I'm Ken.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
No I can no no no rush that no no, no, no,
didn't that isn't that?
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Hell noonan started be the putting and you know with
miss no no no, no.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
No, no, no.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
We do pay tribute to Caddy shack. One of the
calendar months. We pay tribute to the Caddy.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
I'm hearing from a lot of Tom's right now that
they would take g off overthought.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Just great, all right, all right, let's regroup, come on,
let's get serious. Is here why I don't know? I
don't know.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
Okay, this is a great suggestion from a fellow named Greg.
Two g's not three going that out there? Should Todd
change his name to Thod.
Speaker 15 (16:16):
A lot of.
Speaker 8 (16:17):
Thoughts out there.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
There is gonna say take one of the d's off you.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
I did I did remove one of the d's. Yeah,
I was upset at Todd is th h O D.
You know what, Todd, I will pay if you go
to the courthouse and you change your name, I will
pay for it.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
We're trying to go with my list, with my some thods.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
I would go Thod to D's really, Yeah, you're all in. Yeah,

(17:45):
former defensive back and worked in the front offices of
the Ben Washington Redskins and the Eagles. He was on
the call for Georgia Tech's upset over number four ranked
Miami on Saturday. We'll get to that in a moment.
Can you believe that the sunshine at Texas State is
still an issue? But Jerry won't fix the issue because
he doesn't want to just pull the curtains. What would
(18:08):
you do if, well, you can't be the GM because
he's the GM. But how silly is this?
Speaker 16 (18:15):
It's it's silly only because it's Dallas, right, I mean,
it's silly because this football team just finds ways to
continue to be inept on the field, to continue to
underperform despite having, you know, the collective attention of the
nation every single week, win or loose. I mean, that's
why this all seems so ridiculous. But look, it's a
(18:37):
real thing. If a wide receiver can't it's not like
ceedee Lamb's going, well, I'm just kid and I can
see it.
Speaker 11 (18:41):
I just dropped it. No, it's a problem. It's an issue,
you know.
Speaker 16 (18:45):
Jerry says, well, we've known that you know where the
sun comes in, and you guys have known you need
to be able to adjust accordingly. And I'm not going
to change my stadium for the sake of, you know,
the wide receivers having to catch the ball. I mean,
like the fact that this is even a discussion is
just so. It's kind of like number one, one hundred
and fifty on the list of things that you probably
could get to before you get to that. But with Dallas,
(19:07):
I guess everything's fair game.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Can you get to the point where Jerry would actually
make a change during the regular season at the head
coach you know what?
Speaker 16 (19:18):
Yeah, I mean you would think any other owner could,
any other owner would would be seriously considering it right now,
especially concidering. Look, I mean, you may take Michael Parson's
comments out of context as far as him saying that
Mike McCarthy can do whatever head he wants, blah blah
blah blah blah blah. What that says is this, Have
you heard any other players say that kind of thing
about their head coach and when they're in the midst
(19:40):
of having some kind of downturn or facing some kind
of adversity, just basically dismiss whether or not their head
coach is there or not. You don't hear some of
the things that you hear coming out of that place,
as far as like just the overall explosiveness of the
rhetoric that comes from in the locker room. And if
you're Jerry Jones, you have to listen to that. You
have to be listening and going, okay, wait a second here.
(20:03):
Despite me always feeling as though I have all the answers,
because I have my finger on the pulse of this
team better than anyone. Damn it, I'm the one who
owns it. I'm the one who paid X amount of
dollars for it, and look how much it's worth now.
So I must know something well you clearly don't know,
really like right now in twenty twenty four, probably what
your team needs the most, and then we can kind
(20:24):
of start peeling it back from there, Dan, because one
of the hardest things to do as an organization is
to self scout and really know where your strengths and
weaknesses are. Because you have natural blind spots, that team
has more than blind spots. It has like blind chasms
as far as what's going on with their own team,
and for him to not like even maybe even consider
(20:47):
that kind of thing right now, just it's just more
evidence of that. And it's and it's too bad because
they have some they have some very good pieces that
when you're just looking at basic team construction that you need,
they have, But it's all the other stuff that just
continues to go wrong with that football.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
But you're starting to hear players say it now maybe
the things that the quiet part out loud. You got
the Bears with what's going on with Matt Eberflus. Has
he lost the locker room?
Speaker 15 (21:16):
Like?
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Those are really powerful things that are said. And I
don't know, as a former player but also working in
two front offices, how does that resonate when it gets
to the front office when players are wondering and outwardly
questioning the coach.
Speaker 16 (21:34):
Yeah, look, you know why, I can speak to it
from both sides, right, I mean, when you don't have
the number one thing that players want is for them
to be led by people who are competent and that
are making them better. They don't care how old you are,
don't care what you look like. They they don't care
about anything other than are you making me better? And
(21:54):
when they don't feel like you're making them better, that's
when you lose them. That's when they start going, hey, yo,
well you know what, the coach told me to take
this on with my inside shoulder and kind of contain
this run. You know what I'm gonna do though, I'm
gonna spill this run because I feel as though I
could make the play.
Speaker 11 (22:10):
And then next thing, you know, you compromise everything when you.
Speaker 16 (22:12):
Start questioning everything like that, And see, that's what starts happening,
because that's what really matters.
Speaker 11 (22:17):
You don't have to like the coach, but you have
to respect.
Speaker 16 (22:19):
Them, and you have to believe that they're teaching you
things that are gonna make you individually better and help
you win games.
Speaker 11 (22:25):
Clearly, that's starting to.
Speaker 16 (22:26):
Become a problem at the locker room level, which is
the most important level, because you don't have a shot
when you're upstairs and you're hearing them and you're starting
to get you some idea that that's what's happening. You
better start circling the people up meaning your head coach,
your coordinators, and your team leaders. On the leadership council
and going, hey, look, is this a thing? Is this
(22:48):
a real thing? And is there a way for us
to kind of like bandage this thing but till the
end of the season where we can really get together
and I can really peel this back and look at it.
Because if it really is and if you're really in
it to win games, then what the hell's the sense
of standing pat If you feel as though that's already
a big, big giant crap ball that's rolling downhill is
(23:10):
not gonna stop. What's the point of keeping it that
way when you know you're probably gonna make a change
at the end of the year anyway.
Speaker 10 (23:19):
I don't know.
Speaker 16 (23:19):
Jerry always seems very reluctant to do that, and he's
very methodical, and you know he he likes to march
to his own beat and stuff.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
And it's just and the Bears don't make mid season
changes at coach either coaching position.
Speaker 16 (23:32):
Yeah, but that's that's a foregone conclusion, man. I mean,
there's just no way that that states the same. Well,
I mean, it's all it's all over the place. I mean,
that place is just it's sad. What's happening?
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Okay, how much of a hall pass. Do you give
Caleb Williams.
Speaker 16 (23:48):
You give him some because he's a rookie quarterback who
at this point in time is still in the early
developmental phase of his career at the NFL level, and
he look.
Speaker 11 (23:59):
There's certain things that he need that he can control.
Speaker 16 (24:02):
There's also certain things that you're responsible for as a
coach when it comes to his overall development. And you're
obviously seeing that. Look, there's that old axiom, right, you're
either coaching it or allowing it to happen. Well, they're
allowing some of those bad habits that he had in
his game start to actually increase.
Speaker 11 (24:18):
And now he's looks like he's looking like he's regressing.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Okay, but how do you get that out of his game?
We saw that with Josh Allen. Josh Allen came with
bad habits and it took him a couple of years
to get rid of those bad habits.
Speaker 16 (24:30):
You're right, and you know what, same conversation right now
as being had about Anthony Richardson, Right, And so I
don't there's no question you don't. Caleb Williams is not
all of a sudden the lost cause. But what happens
is see There's gonna be two phases to it. One
you better self scouts your own organization and go Look,
as Shane Waldron, our offensive coordinator, is he the guy
in the first place? And as Matt Eberflus overseen at all,
(24:52):
is he the guy? Was he ever the guy?
Speaker 11 (24:54):
You know? Either? What else?
Speaker 16 (24:56):
What else is gonna have to happen, is Caleb's gonna
have to go outside, just like Josh did and seek
some other tutoring, mentorship, development to where he can really
break down his game to the most minute level. What
do I need to improve on? How can I, you know,
get my mind to kind of really lock into some
repeatable mechanics, so I'm constantly, you know, consistent with my
(25:19):
lower body, my upper body, put the ball where I
need to, and I can just and there's there's so
much muscle memory that in the most critical moments, I'm
going to be consistent because right now he's not. Those
are the kind of things that Josh did. Sean McDermott
was very diligent in terms of trying to continuously tweak
his roster and his coaching staff to help Josh out.
(25:39):
And next thing, you know, Josh really dispelled all those
other preconceived notions that you had about quarterbacks, which.
Speaker 11 (25:45):
Is, well, if you're in if you're inaccurate in college,
you're going to be an accurate.
Speaker 16 (25:49):
You can't fix that. It's BS. It's not true, you can.
That's what ticks me off the most about this Anthony
Richardson conversation. Right now, you see objectively, you look at
the stats. Him and Josh are the seeing people through
ten starts. But people are now saying, well, because he
tapped out, which was a BS move, he can't do that.
But should you now all of a sudden throw dirt
(26:10):
on the kid and go what his career is done?
Look at his stats? That's stupid. He's not done. But
the Colts you better look inward, that's for sure. And Anthony,
you better have I know he's already working. He already
has a private quarterback coach. He alreadys has his people
that he's working with. You better go back to the
drawing board, and you better never And he's gonna have
(26:32):
to work twice as hard now to dispel this whole
idea of people.
Speaker 11 (26:35):
Thinking he's a quitter. But there are That's what's haunting
him more right now than anything.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
But Lewis, there are situations.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Arizona moved on from Josh Rosen after one year and
it was the right decision. So true, sometimes you have
to admit a lot of times gms and owners will
double down and say, nope, trust us. He's really like
Daniel Jones. The Giants doubled down and it's cost dearly
and it's going to cost their coach and GM their jobs.
Speaker 16 (27:03):
Okay, and those you're right, and I and I and
I respect that. So maybe the cult, Okay, if the
Colts have some kind of intel that none of us
have because we're not in the building, that's one thing.
But Josh Rosen and Daniel Jones have never in their
life done some of the things on a professional football
(27:26):
field that Anthony Richardson has already shown you he can do. Ever,
they don't even they couldn't. They couldn't scratch even one
iota of what natural talent ar already has shown you
that he has. Okay, so you better be darn sure
that you believe as though he has some kind of
fatal flaw that you have to move on already now
(27:48):
after ten starts, you better be darn sure, because you
know what I think it wasn't a Kevin O'Connell who
went up to the kid after Indianapolis played him and
was just like and was trying to encourage him.
Speaker 11 (27:59):
There's a lot of people people out there who'd be like,
let me get a crack.
Speaker 16 (28:02):
At him for different reasons other than why maybe they want.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
I wouldn't give up on him. I mean, yeah, I
get your point, yeah, but I wouldn't give up.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
I would say that just like Bryce Young, I said,
let him start the rest of the year. And I
do think that he's shown promise there. I just think
he was thrown into a situation that you know, was
above his pay grid. That's why I have so much
respect for Drake May with what he's done. He's on
a bad team and that he's played well. He is
(28:35):
has played well, and you can make a case the
quarterbacks taken after Caleb Williams have outperformed Caleb Williams.
Speaker 16 (28:42):
No question about it. I could not agree with you more.
Drake May is a testament again to you better really
know the individual about what really makes them tick. You
better go and watch them, see him, talk to him,
research him, because when you're from when when you're looking
at it from afar. You get these ideas about what
(29:02):
you think a guy is and you know in the
old action like the tape doesn't lie. Yes, Yeah, Like
there's so much more and you've got to really like
peel these dudes back. Drake May I'm telling you from
the time I saw him down at UNC for his
pro day and stood right there and was just talking
to this young I'm like, the tape doesn't do.
Speaker 11 (29:22):
This kid justice.
Speaker 16 (29:24):
And his overall presence on that football team and the
way Girodd talks about him up there and other players
talk about him, and Alex van Pelt talks about him.
What he's doing with what's around him is amazing. Is
that is absolutely and you know what, you know, what's
you know what's too bad is that we didn't get
a chance this year to see JJ McCarthy do the
same thing because he was on his way too.
Speaker 11 (29:46):
It's a good overall class. Yeah, different situations for every person.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
I want to get to the game. We're talking to
Lewis Riddick of the Mothership. You were on the call
Georgia Chech in Miami. I mean that's a deathly law
us for Miami. You've got a Heisman candidate. You've got
a chance you're going to be a first round by
maybe hosting a playoff game. And what the hell happened
to Miami?
Speaker 16 (30:11):
You know a lot of the flaws that they have
shown all year long, but that that they've been able
to escape because of Cam's exploits. They just they couldn't
overcome them in this.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Is he a great court?
Speaker 2 (30:23):
The potential Like if you had the number one pick
and you needed a quarterback? Yeah, who you taking?
Speaker 11 (30:30):
Would I consider it? Absolutely?
Speaker 12 (30:31):
Now?
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Who you taking?
Speaker 11 (30:32):
Okay? Who am I taking?
Speaker 8 (30:34):
Like?
Speaker 11 (30:34):
Right now? Who am taking?
Speaker 3 (30:36):
You got Cam or you got Shador?
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Do right?
Speaker 16 (30:40):
Yeah, I'm taking Cam by a slim margin because I talked,
I've been I've seen them both live and obviously i
know Shador's dad very well and I've seen Cam twice
and talk to their I mean, Cam is, Shador is
an alpha and a leader. Cam is like Cam is
very spell And I'll tell you what, had he not
(31:02):
gotten Strip sacked, he may have led them down and
won that game. But the defense, I'll tell you what.
The defensive secondary is beat up in Miami. They totally
got out schemed by Buster Falklon Oci of Georgia Tech.
Lance Gidrig got out schemed. They ran the ball down
their throat against the defensive line. That's gonna have multiple
guys who were first day, second day picks in the NFL.
Speaker 11 (31:23):
This got mauled, maulled in the.
Speaker 16 (31:26):
Run game, taking advantage of in the passing game by
a freshman Dan who was bringing brought in because Hayines
King couldn't throw the football. This kid's being brought in
in third and fifteen and he's completing passes like and
just that. Aaron Filo, the freshman at Georgia Tech, remember
his name, Well, we may be talking about him as
(31:47):
a Heisman candidate in a couple of years.
Speaker 11 (31:49):
Unbelievable. So yeah, they got exposed on defense. Cam couldn't pull.
Speaker 16 (31:55):
It out of his you know, pull a rabbit out
of his hat late in the fourth quarter like he's
done all season long. And that's been in their flaw
and now in Georgia Tech. Georgia Tech was motivated. Brent
Key is a damn good coach and if he can
get some more recruits and get some more people out
of the portal at Tech, Tech's gonna be one of
those teams to keep an eye on the ACC for
years to come, as long as he's there.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Always good to talk to you. Thank you, Lewis, you bet,
thanks Lewis Riddick of the Mothership. That's on the call,
Georgia Tech in Miami. We'll take a break. We will
give you our best and worst of the weekend. Oh
some more phone calls coming up after this.

Speaker 2 (32:39):
W app Okay, what's worse Jerry Jones's response to the
sun and why not pull the curtains so the sun
is not in? We're going to re enact the CD
LAMB dropped past. Oh during the next commercial break, I
want to go outside. The sun is shining and I'm
gonna have you guys staring right into the sun. And
I'm going to be thrown on the football too. But
(33:01):
what's whereas Jerry saying, oh, we should just tear down
the stadium, or the fact that during halftime or when
they did a video tribute to their first coach World
War two veteran, Please please direct your attention. I'm not
going to make it okay. Please direct your attention to
the jumbo tron and our tribute to our first coach
(33:24):
and a World War Two veteran salo to Tom Laundry laundry.
The second one is the one, yes, yes, yeah.
Speaker 17 (33:34):
Please direct your attention to to the video monitor as
we pay our respects to a World War Two veteran
and the Hall of Fame coach, Tom Laundry laundry, laundry.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Yes, Mark, it.
Speaker 18 (33:46):
Gets awkward, and you asked for a moment of silence,
but people are laughing like laundry. They really said that. Yes,
it's not like they said. Eric Williams or James Washington,
somebody from the nineties cowboys. What are the pillars of
your franchise?
Speaker 7 (33:58):
Please welcome Robert Staubach, Roger.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Ted Aikman, Aikman, Eric Smith running back, the great Eric
Emmett Smith. All right, best and worst of the week,
and Todd I'm gonna start with you, your best and worst,
my co best.
Speaker 12 (34:16):
Georgia Tech, Henn and Cam warn in number four Miami
their first lost of the season, Sally in Atlanta and
Lane Kiffin's number sixteen Rebels defeating Kirby Smart's number three
Georgia Bulldogs worst other than a certain blocked field goal
in the final play in Kansas City.
Speaker 5 (34:28):
We don't need to get into that.
Speaker 12 (34:30):
Kevin Durant caf John Morant hip, Tyreese Maxi and Zion
hamstring Chad Holmgren pelvic fracture among some of the NBA
stars who.
Speaker 5 (34:37):
May be out for weeks.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
Okay, hey's Seaton O'Connor.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
My best of the weekend. Kyrie and Nikola Jokic put
on a show last night. Kyrie forty three points, shot
seventeen to twenty two. The Joker thirty seven points, eighteen rebounds,
fifteen assists. Nuggets win one. That's a hello game.
Speaker 8 (35:01):
My worst of the weekend is the New York Football Jets.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
Why are they so bad?
Speaker 4 (35:08):
I don't understand why, Like when we like, have we
put our finger on why they're bad?
Speaker 3 (35:16):
I think they've checked out?
Speaker 4 (35:17):
Did they Well, that's one of the things DeVante Adams
said when he got there, where he was like, what
the heck man?
Speaker 8 (35:21):
What doesn't anybody want to play?
Speaker 2 (35:24):
There's no spirit. Look, this all starts with the quarterback.
I can't say the coach because the coach was just
elevated into this position. This is Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers
needs to be a leader, and he hasn't been. He
hasn't played well. Normally, you can lead by example, so
Aaron could always lead because he was so great.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
Now he's not.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
He's average. And that's your leadership. Like you're not leading
by words, it's by action, and your actions are terrible.
Marvin Best and worst of the weekend.
Speaker 5 (35:58):
My best Jillen Alabama.
Speaker 3 (36:01):
Whoa yep tailback Jalen.
Speaker 18 (36:04):
Miller twelve carries hernet eighty five yards, four touchdowns. Alabama
beat the axent out of Brian Kellers, who he had
he won all his game. H Worse of the weekend.
I know, it's like beating a dead horse. Florida State
fifty two to three. You lost fifty two to three.
Notre Dame covered and now the Seminals are one to
(36:26):
nine in the season and they lost all of their recruits.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
Paulieu.
Speaker 6 (36:30):
The Indiana Hoosiers are now ten and zero. The football
team let that sink in first time in history. I
don't know what's going to happen the rest of the way,
but the scene in Bloomington to see a basketball school
looking like a football school on a Saturday is nuts.
I went to see an Indiana game when I was
like nineteen. It was it was like friends and family.
You know, you picked your seat the invitation only, Yeah,
(36:51):
and the other one. The ending of BYU Utah, the
Utah fans and everyone in Utah is very upset. I'm
not sure it was the wrong caller not maybe you
could have let him play a little bit. But BYU
does stay undefeated at nine and zero. Who knows if
the conference wanted that result to happen or what. But
very good game, surprisingly good game.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
Yeah, I thought the Utes were going to win that game. Yeah,
prior to the start of it. Let me see g
offf in Connecticut joining us Hi Goff.
Speaker 15 (37:20):
First time long time five eight. So one reason I
was propelled to call in from the first time since
listening since the divil days is I feel personally attacked
by Seaton with this referendum on Goff. So I'll tell
(37:41):
you before my best and worst, I'll tell you the
reason I was named with a G was because my
last name is the most common name on the planet.
Uh So my parents wanted something that separated a little bit,
separated me a little bit. So that's why I was
named that. I love my name Jeffrey.
Speaker 7 (37:59):
Who hold on?
Speaker 6 (38:00):
If your name is Jeff Johnson j E F F.
No one's going man, that's a boring name, and all
of a sudden you make it Geo F F.
Speaker 7 (38:07):
Johnson.
Speaker 6 (38:08):
That guy's wild, that guy's amazing. Is that what you're saying.
Speaker 15 (38:11):
But it does separate you. It does separate you. For
people to be able to find you online, things like that,
not that they were thinking about online fifty years ago,
but it has. It has done well for me.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
All right, Jeff, I almost called him Geoff. It's Jeff.
He seems like legitimately upset at you've seen at me. Yes,
I don't. I didn't name him. I'm the one. Yeah, yeah,
it's your fault. So you're right.
Speaker 8 (38:36):
I was the one making those jokes. Yes, sorry, yes, Jeff, Yes.
Speaker 12 (38:40):
Time, and just go all in and name your kid
walking fuss, a sailor or just something really you need.
Speaker 5 (38:44):
You're just playing with the letters of Jeff.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
You're still Jeff Tom and North walking fuss or sailor.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Yes, of course, John John Walkin Fuss from the Tigers
just got him in changing the letters.
Speaker 5 (38:55):
It's now all of a sudden.
Speaker 3 (38:56):
Thomas in North Carolina joins us, Hey, Tom, it's actually
pronounced Thomas. Let's go thomb.
Speaker 14 (39:08):
I got a be'st of the week. Real quick shout
out to the Carolina Panthers first time.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
Back back when Yeah, in.
Speaker 14 (39:15):
Two years they look great in Germany. Uh, sir pearl
looks great in leader hosen. And we got a bye
week coming up, and after that we got the Chiefs.
And if that ain't a trap game, I don't know
what is.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
All right, Well, thank you Thomas, thank you. I just
have a review of at and T Stadium. Not using
the drapes at Cowboys Stadium is entirely an esthetic decision
by the owner operator. The drapes are required for concerts
and other events like the Final Four. When WrestleMania was
(39:50):
held at the stadium, not only did they cover the windows,
the roof was also blacked down. It's been a topic
of discussion and confusion since the building open in two
thousand and nine. But yes, they did this strategically. They
wanted to bring in the sun. They wanted to give
you sort of an indoor outdoor feeling at Texas State.
Speaker 5 (40:13):
What are you gonna do, Cowboys?
Speaker 3 (40:14):
When the sun's all over you.
Speaker 18 (40:16):
Yes, Marvin So Stonecas Steve Austin gets more treatment, gets
better treatment than ceedee.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
Lamb apparently, so better career stone cold. Yeah, whose career
would you rather have? Stone colds? Absolutely? Yeah. They they
said that this was strategic. They wanted to do east west,
not north south. We'll just tear it down, is what
we'll do. Yeah, why do we just turn the holding down?
(40:46):
Then let's go about the moon curtains foiled again, final
hour in this Monday, after this
