you by Patini America, the official trading cards of the
Dan Patrick Show. It's Carolina against the Niners. And it
feels like this would be a Thursday night game, but
(01:23):
it's a really relevant Monday night game, the Panthers and
the Niners. And I think the Niners are favored by
six and a half something like that, so it could
be fun.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Maybe.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Actually it's now seven and a half. Panthers getting seven
and a half against the Niners over unders. For entertainment purposes,
forty nine and a half eight seven seven to three
DP show operators sitting by Tyler or take your phone
calls good morning if you're watching on Peacock it's a
streaming partner and also the NBC Sports Network. Robert griff
(02:00):
In the third will join us. Coming up a little bit,
we'll talk with the Rick Neuheisel about Lane Kiffin's decision,
the pending decision that will probably be announced by Friday
or at the end of Friday. Raiders have fired their
offensive coordinator, Chip Kelly. They were averaging fifteen points per game.
They brought him in and obviously thought with that quarterback
(02:22):
running back tight end, they were going to put up
some points, and they did not. They put up some
disap points. Oh that's not bad.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
Or in a while you got one.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
I mean, I'm still under the weather. Okay.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
I doctored that in with the bloop that I gave you.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
So they fire Chip Kelly. Chiefs over the Colts. And
that's one of those games where the Chiefs. Chiefs are
going to look back on that game and go, thank
god we got that win, and the Colts might look
back on that and go, we could have put them.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
We could have put them to bed.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
The rest of the AFC is going to look back
and go, come on, Colts, act like you are a contender.
And that was their moment, that was their here we go.
Let's see the Colts. Let's go.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
They're winning twenty to nine and I'm going are right.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
But it was too much time and their offense wasn't
doing anything, and then you gave the Homes an opportunity
and they were opportunistic.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
So the Chiefs. What's the schedule coming up? PAULI? It
eases up a little.
Speaker 6 (03:23):
Bit there at the Cowboys on Thanksgiving host the Texans
host the Chargers at the Titans versus host, the Broncos
at the Raiders. A lot of winnable games.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
I'd look at two of them that I would say,
the Raiders and the Titans. But I'm the Texans are good.
I wouldn't rule that out. They go to Dallas, Dallas
is playing, Well, that's not a W. I mean, if
it is, it's kind of a double not W do
you wish? Yeah, the Chargers Bronco. No, just say, you know,
(03:59):
maybe there's maybe there's three wins in there, let's say four,
so that puts them at Does that give him ten wins? What?
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Yes? Six four wins? We'll get to ten and seven
with four wins the rest of it.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Now, you didn't even buzz in. You were like, the
rest standings.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Very well, and six or five four wins tenants?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Okay, ten and seven should get him in in the AFC.
All right, I was wondering about this. Let's say we
looked at the MVP candidates and I already mentioned this
first hour. According to DraftKings, it's Matthew Stafford's to lose.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Then it's Drake May.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Those are the two guys who it looks like have
a legitimate shot to win this, Jonathan Taylor well down
the list, Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes. What if the NFL
did what college football does for the Heisman? What if
we invited four candidates, maybe five if you want to,
but let's say four to the NFL Honors Night. Matthew Stafford,
(04:58):
Jamiir Gibbs, Drake May, Jackson Smith, NJIGMA.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
I think that would be fun.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Now, you're not going to have Gibbs or Smith NJIGMA win,
but you want representation there, and I think that would
be great. And if there's another candidate you want to
throw in there, yes, Paul.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
Okay for the fifth spot, Miles Garrett or Jonathan Taylor,
the running back of the.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Corp, I would put Miles Garrett. I'd put Miles Garrett.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Miles Garrett's gonna end up with the all time sack record,
single season sack record, and he had three sacks.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
He's got eighteen on the season.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
So since the NFL began tracking individual sacks in nineteen
eighty two, the only player to have more sacks through
the first twelve games of a season Reggie White. He
had nineteen in his first twelve games. That was back
in nineteen eighty seven. Stat of Today brought to you
(05:55):
by Panini America, the official trading cards of the program.
The Browns had ten sacks in the win against the Raiders,
and that is the most in a single game since
nineteen eighty four. Also, Shadoor Sanders is the first Browns
quarterback to win his first NFL start since the franchise
returned to Cleveland in nineteen ninety nine. They had seventeen
(06:15):
quarterbacks make their first NFL start in a Brown's uniform,
and they all lost.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Oh stall of a.
Speaker 7 (06:24):
Day, Stanta Day, Statava Day, Stantata day.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
This is the stant of the day.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
I haven't spent a lot of time on Shoudor Sanders,
and rightfully so, because any other quarterback whose name is
not Shudor Sanders, we're probably not spending that much time.
And I know that Dion was at the game. He
he had a couple of big moments there. I just
want to let him be able to play instead of
letting the media use him, you know, as a talking point,
(07:00):
because I don't need any declarations on Shador Sanders.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
I don't need it.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Hey, if he would have started the entire season, okay,
he didn't. Let's see what he does. Be fair to
the kid. And he had three big plays, but he
didn't beat himself. He didn't lose a game for his team.
He had an interception, but he acted like a rookie quarterback.
So there's positives there. Now you're beating the Raiders. Okay,
(07:27):
Let's see how he does next game against the forty
nine ers and give him a chance. And I hope
he gets a chance to start a few more games.
Then you can find find out if he can play
or not and put that. But if you're going to
go with those numbers and say hey, we'll take those
those numbers, well, that means your defense has to play
like that against everybody and you're not going to win
(07:50):
a lot of games if that's the case where you're
waiting for your defense to have ten sacks. Now, I
want to see if he can push the ball down
the field. He had a couple of big plays. He
will throw the ball deep. I think he gave the
Browns a boost. I thought it was great. Uh come
in play and uh you know, see if there's something
that they can add, you know, to the play calling here.
(08:13):
But it's good if I give Dylan Gabriel a couple
more starts. I give Shador Sanders a couple more starts.
And really, in what I was told is Dylan Gabriel
was quicker at the line of scrimmage and getting the
ball out. That was the big thing that he couldn
have the you know, same arm as Shadoor. Neither of
them is really that mobile, uh, I mean athletic. But
(08:36):
and that's what I don't want to see any kind
of rushing numbers with Shadoor Sanders. I want him staying
in the pocket. I want him you know, now he
rolled right a couple of times, that's great, but I
don't want him trying to, you know, revert back to
college days where you're trying to extend to play. But
I thought, for the most part, that was pretty good.
(08:56):
And I'll go back to what I said prior to
the draft. I thought, the Raiders, we're going to take him.
With Tom Brady there mentoring him, and the fact that
you needed a backup quarterback for Gino Smith, I thought
he was obviously going higher. And then all of a
sudden I talked to my source and said, you know,
he's dropping for a variety of reasons. But what you
(09:17):
saw yesterday good for him and the Cleveland Browns more importantly, Yeah, PAULI.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
Right now, the Browns had the second rank defense and
yards given up in the NFL. What a big advantage
for any young quarterback to have that. No, not a
lot of pressure to put up thirty five points.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Dak Prescott through for three point fifty four. He surpassed
Tony Romo for the most in Cowboys franchise history. And
they came back from twenty one zip. That equals the
biggest comeback in franchise history. You go back to twenty
fourteen against the Rams and with the Eagles, the questions
are there. It's weird how we're not quite sure, like
(09:55):
what is happening here? You're not running the football. Give
credit to Dallas the up the run Saquon Barkley, but
do you have twenty six yards? I mean that's crazy
and a fumble. I mean their best play might be
the tush push. Why not just line up and just
do that to an entire series, Just go We're just
(10:18):
going to do this down the field. Let's make a
total mockery of the tush push. But you just keep
watching and you're going there there's something there. And I've
said this from the outset that there just felt like
there was some kind of disconnect, something, an underlying.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Issue or two.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
And you saw that you're up twenty one nothing and
nobody's got any worries until you're not scoring any points.
In Dallas all of a sudden makes a couple of
plays and give them credit. You know, Dallas, it's become
it's gonna be a you don't just say that's a
w Yeah, Chiefs got the Cowboys and that's not a
(11:01):
given and that defense that'll be an interesting test for
the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Yeah, Paul, if.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
You were Saquon Barkley, they were on the one yard
line last night the Eagles after our catch, would you
be salty at all that you don't get the ball
at the one yard line to punch it in? Well,
their best play is a tousch push, right, But also
he's a really tough goal line running back. You wouldn't
mix it up a little bit and keep your star
running back happy.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
I was with a couple people yesterday.
Speaker 6 (11:30):
We were discussing It's like, if you're Barkley, you'd be like, let's.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Mix it up.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
No, I score a touchdown. I'm not here for feelings.
I got a win, Like, hey, let's give it to Saquon,
keep him happy. I got to score a touchdown. And
this is an offense that's been spotty, Yes, Todd, but.
Speaker 8 (11:50):
If they're all expecting the toushbush, what about rolling out
and then it's hurts, take it around the bend or
if they come up on you a little dump it
to the tight end.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Just once in a while.
Speaker 8 (11:58):
I kind of would like to see that everyone's expecting
you to just push forward and even as high a.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
Percentage as that is, just roll out and run it in.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
You don't stump it.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
You don't get extra points for creativity. No, you know what,
We're gonna give you eight points.
Speaker 8 (12:13):
But give them something to think about in their quarters
and weeks to come down.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
Wait, once in a while, they don't do the twitch perss,
they go around the bend.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
What's the poll question for hour two seton? We got
one here from Paul the over five hundred team. You
believe in the least.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Oh, that's Jacksonville.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
He's gonna start with his Bears, then Jaguars, Panthers, forty
nine ers.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
It's weird to believe in Carolina more than Jacksonville.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
But I've watched two full games with the Panthers.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
And it's weird for the forty nine ers to be
on that list with those teams and make sense, like
I don't know, Yeah, pauling.
Speaker 6 (12:53):
To be Devil's advocate here with the Bears. The quarterback
they quarterbacks they've beaten in the last six games, Mason Rudolph,
Agian McCarthy, Jackson Dart, Joe Flacco, Tyler Huntley which they
lost to, and Spencer Rattler. They're doing it against not
the best quarterbacks. It makes you question what they could
do against a good team, a very good team.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I still think they're a playoff caliber team.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Of course I said that last year as well, but.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Jacksonville still that, like they got seven wins, like it's
just you're going, okay, all right. And I'm watching the
NFC South Dang Panthers. I mean, Panthers could win their division.
My Panthers could win the division. There, I'm watching the Falcons.
(13:46):
I tune in and I see Kirk Cousins hesitate on
an in route and he throws a pick six, and
I was like, oh my god, kirkty cousins watching the Saints.
I watch the litle bit of that Taysom Hill got
in a corner back.
Speaker 6 (14:02):
All they're always surprised when he runs it.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
I know they're always surprised.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Uh, Taysom Hill's in, here's a run, and then he
does run. I think he lost yards there. Yes, Seed, it.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
Feels like we're running down a lot of times a
lot of teams. I still have the Mike Tomlin topic
in my head a little bit where I'm like, man,
I bet those teams would trade with a with a
Mike Tomlin like run. Oh yeah for a while. Man,
I think sometimes being competitive, even if you don't win,
it's a little underrated.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Well yeah, but the bar was set so high, and
I think, now, okay, let me see if he's we're
going to go back to a super Bowl, we're gonna
go to an AFC title game. That your that's your
expectations in Carolina. It's just get through the season without
getting fired or you know, Tennessee, uh some of these
other Saints where you're going, you know, what's your what's
(14:53):
your goal? Not get fired? Try to make it through
all seventeen games. Yes, Marmon Seton's.
Speaker 9 (15:00):
Point, the Steelers really haven't had like a great roster.
Their defense hasn't been all that great besides TJ. Watt,
and they haven't had a quarterback. So it's pretty admirable
for Tomlin to do what he's been doing with this roster.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
They're not good, Yeah, but why aren't they good? Did
they have talent?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Remember they had to get rid of their GM, and
then they got rid of their GM, and then so
is it the GM?
Speaker 3 (15:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I mean, they've had some defensive playmakers aside from TJ. Watt,
but you know, the division, it is kind of spotty.
Speaker 10 (15:38):
Now.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Baltimore has been pretty good, but Cincinnati can be up
and down and their coach probably will lose his job
the Brown situation. No don't, but I do think that
there is a local perception of Mike Tomlin that is
completely different than the national perception.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Yes, Mark, I'm with you.
Speaker 9 (16:00):
For me is great wide receivers with tons of potential
that end up not doing anything for whatever reason. They
go off the deep end, and I'm like, man, this
is all under your watch, Mike, Mike Tomlin.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Okay, but is he drafting these guys or is the
GM drafting these guys? Does he have to put up
with these personalities I got, I don't know the chain
of command and how much, say Mike Tomlin has.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
See, do we really think after this many years Mike
Tomlin doesn't have say in the players that they're bringing in.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I would I would think he would have a say.
I would imagine, But it's do I give him credit
or do I give him blame? Because I don't know
if he got credit for the players they did bring
in that like did he want T J.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Watt? Like, I don't know, Yeah, Polly.
Speaker 6 (16:43):
I've got a lot of notes from Steelers fans on
social media saying Mike Tomlin, in their opinion, I don't
know if it's a report has complete control over the
roster over the past ten years, like as it works
with the GM, nothing is done without Tomlin's approval.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
I don't know if that's true, but a lot of
people say that.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Okay, well then we should ding him on that that
it's not Hey, you drafted him. I got to coach him.
If he's involved in this, then you know he's part
of the problem.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
Yeh See, Which is I get to that callers point
he won with Cowers. Guys, yeah, and hasn't done anything
with his own.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
How about we take a break. RG three will join
us coming up. Get to more of your phone calls

Speaker 2 (18:02):
Panthers getting seven and a half tonight against the forty
nine Ers a surprisingly competitive matchup here. When you look
just at records Niners seven and four and the Panthers
are six and five, it feels like a Thursday night
game on a Monday night a seven to seven to
three DP show email address Dpadanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle
(18:23):
a DP show. Robert Griffin Junior the third Fox Football analyst,
former Heisman winner, and his podcast is Out of Pocket
with RG three. He was on the call for BYU's
win over Cincinnati on Saturday. Good to see you again.
Let me start with the Browns situation and what would
your philosophy be, coaching philosophy be moving forward with the
(18:47):
quarterbacking situation.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Yeah, I mean, Dan shed stand, this should be the
starter move forward.
Speaker 11 (18:53):
And I say that fully knowing that if you listen
to Kevin Stefanski's postgame speech, he wanted nothing with giving
Shadder any type of credit for the way that the
team performed. And I know the skeptics out there, I'll say, well,
he had one hundred and forty six yards of yards
after the catch and he had a bad interception. But
(19:16):
when you watch the actual game and you watched how
the team responded to him, you haven't seen that from
a quarterback at the starting position for the Clinton Browns
in quite some time. And it's just so's It's an
interesting thing because when you love the game of football,
sometimes the game will love you back.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Not always, but sometimes it does.
Speaker 11 (19:35):
And when you look at Shader's situation come into the season,
Joe Flacco is a starter. He's not there anymore. He's
in he's in Cincinnati. Kenny Pickett is a guy they
wanted to be the starter. He got hurt in training camp.
Then Dylan Gabriel comes in, the guy that the head
coach clearly prefers and loves, and he gets hurt and
gets a concussion. So when you get your opportunity to
have your first full week of practice reps with the
number one offense and you go out there and you
(19:57):
perform the way that he did to me, that just
shows you when the team responds to you, they play
with more purpose, they play with more excitement. The defense
comes away with ten sacks. I think you have the
guy in the building right now that should be the
starter for the remainder of the season. And the big thing, Dan,
it wasn't just like, hey take the simple stuff. It
was the extended plays, the big playmaking on the broken
(20:21):
plays that they've been missing this entire season that Shadera
was able to pull off. And I think that's why
he should be the starter.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
What do you think of this idea.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
If I treat the NFL MVP like the Heisman and
I invite Matthew Stafford, Jamiir Gibbs, Drake May, Jackson Smith, Jigma,
and Miles Garrett. Okay, what do you think if those
guys are all there and we make the announcement of
the MVP. So, I know, Jamir Gibbs isn't gonna win,
or Smith, the Jigma, Miles Garrett because he's a defensive player,
(20:53):
but to have representation would be great at multiple positions.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
What do you think?
Speaker 11 (20:59):
Yeah, I was going to say, but why not? You
know we've gotten stuck on this. Hey, the quarterback has
to win the MVP or the quarterback has to win
the Heisman Trophy, and I don't think. I don't think
that's the case at all. Right now, when you talk
about the Heisman Trophy, the top two guys on my
list are Jacob Rodriguez, the linebacker from Texas Tech, and
Jeremiah Love, the running back from Notre Dame. So I
(21:22):
don't know why we have to be stuck into that.
I understand that quarterbacks are the sexy pick, right, They
sell more jerseys, they more people know who the quarterbacks are.
But I tweeted out yesterday that I think Jackson Smith
and jig but should be on everybody's list.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Now.
Speaker 11 (21:40):
I do believe that Matt Stafford should be at the
top of everybody's list because I don't think anyone's playing
quarterback better than he is right now. And the Rams
are absolutely rolling. But when you look at Miles Garrett,
the only thing that could maybe prevent him from winning
MVP is the Browns record eighteen sacks in eleven games
is unheard of. He is going to add absolutely smash
(22:01):
my colleague Michael Stohan's record when it comes to saxon
a season. But I think all these guys, when you
have these super impressive years Saquon Barkley last year, I
felt like should have been probably should have won NFL MVP.
So I am not a guy and I've been I
don't want to say maligned for it, but I have
(22:21):
been chastised for it by some of my colleagues on
my stops about putting guys that are not quarterbacks in
that MVP race. But this year shows you exactly what
you're talking about. Dan running backs, wide receivers, defensive ends, well,
they should all be in that conversation, and why not
make it more of an event to go out and
be able to announce the NFL MVP and truly tell
(22:44):
those guys' stories in a unique way, just like we
do with the Heisman Trophy.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Should we be focusing more on the Cowboys comeback or
the Eagles collapse?
Speaker 3 (22:54):
I think it should be focusing on the Cowboys comeback.
Speaker 11 (22:57):
I will say this about the Eagles. If people were
upset that they were eight and two, oh, they're definitely
upset now that they're eight and three and they gave
up twenty four nuns at points to.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Their division rival.
Speaker 11 (23:07):
I do believe that Jalen Hurts and the criticism around
him it's not just unfair, because then we know this
life is not fair, right, it is what it is.
But I just think it's not justified. There's a lot
of teams that wish they could be eight and three
right now, and Jalen Hurts shouldn't be getting some of
the criticism that he is.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
But to focus on the Cowboys.
Speaker 11 (23:28):
How amazing of a pickup has George Pickens been? I
mean when you look at receivers, and this is something
my coaches are talking to him all the time. Don't
just look at a guy's catches in his yards, look
at his targets and how many, what share or percentage
of his targets is he actually catching?
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Do you have to throw it to him fifteen times
for him to catch ten of them?
Speaker 11 (23:48):
And Pickins last night nine targets, nine catches, one hundred
and forty six yards and talk about efficiency for them
to come back the way that they did, I think
he was a big part of that. Dak is obviously
playing an extremely high level. Funniest thing I saw on
the internet though, was the Eagles posting a wall of
(24:08):
all their defenders and saying who's going to get past this?
And after the Cowboys won, they posted a picture of
Dak Prescott as the kool Aid Man and that made
me last harder than anything yesterday, So that was pretty epic.
They definitely won the day on Twitter for the Cowboys
social media team.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Okay, but why do the Steelers move on from George Pickens?
And would you give him a long term deal? If
you're Jerry Jones, I mean, Jerry.
Speaker 11 (24:37):
Jones wouldn't give Michael pars Is a long term deal.
But I think when you have wide receivers, you have
to be willing to manage the good with the bad.
And I think in Pittsburgh George Pickens had kind of
wore out his welcome. I think they felt like they
were on an Antonio Brown track with him there. And
(24:59):
you I have to give Pickens credit because I know
they're gonna people are gonna, you know, kill the Steelers
are saying, why would you get rid of this guy?
Speaker 3 (25:07):
You just got to understand all the stuff that was
going on there.
Speaker 11 (25:10):
And now Pickens has come to the Dallas Cowboys, a
team that most would say doesn't have a great team culture,
and he's been a great teammate. So I just took
my cap to Pickens to say to see him mature
so much in just a year. I think Ceedee Lamb
has a lot to do with that as well. And
you know, when you go to Dallas as a receiver,
(25:32):
there's one thing you will get, it's your numbers. And
I think I have had to manage receivers who all
want the ball.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
And at the.
Speaker 11 (25:43):
College level, I had four guys that could all have
one hundred catches in a season. I didn't quite have
that in the NFL. But you have to learn to
manage those situations and those relationships while trying to win
and trying to help those receivers get paid. And I
think Pickens is very, very thankful for Dak Prescott because
not only are they winning, but he's also getting his numbers,
(26:06):
which is going to change his life.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
I'm talking to RG three his out of pocket podcast.
Out of Pocket with RG three, wherever you get your podcast,
give me the team or teams you're just not quite
sure of right now.
Speaker 11 (26:19):
Oh yeah, and they're not gonna like this one, but
it's still for me.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
The Indianapolis Colts.
Speaker 11 (26:27):
And the reason I say that is they had a
very unique opportunity this past weekend to beat Patrick Mahomes
and the Kansity Chiefs in the way that no one
thought they could beat them. And for Daniel Jones, he's
proved a lot of people wrong, including myself, with.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
The way that he's played this year.
Speaker 11 (26:49):
But he started hot, and over the past couple of
weeks he started to cool off just a little bit
and maybe come back down to.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Earth, but he's played his tail off.
Speaker 11 (26:59):
I had him in the MVP a couple of weeks
ago because listen, when you Dan, you know this when
you're wrong about something, you gotta admit it. And I
did not think that he would play as well as
he had with the Colts. But the knock on him
was the same knock that was on Sam Donald, you know,
the same knock that's been on other guys that have
gone places and had extreme success in the regular season,
but then when they get in those big time playoff matchups,
(27:21):
they don't quite live up to the expectation. And this,
to me, was a playoff game for the Colts, and
they had the Chiefs beat and they came back Patrick
Mahomes through for three hundred and fifty two yards, no touchdowns,
but they were able to call themselves back from an
eleven point deficit and win the game, And that to
me was a sign of like, can Daniel Jones? Can
(27:43):
can he close the door on a big time quarterback
the best that we have I think in the galaxy still.
I know Stafford is playing the best right now, but
Mahomes is on pace to be the greatest ever and
he couldn't.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Do it on the Chiefs off day. That to me
was the thing.
Speaker 11 (28:00):
I'm like, Man, I'm just not sure about them as
a whole competing in the playoffs if they couldn't beat
this version of the Kansaity Chiefs.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Explain to me, Matthew Stafford at this age doing what
he's doing.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Yeah, I said it yesterday.
Speaker 11 (28:16):
I don't think I can remember a quarterback with his
level of arm talent that's played this well at the
age of thirty seven years old.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
But explain arm talent.
Speaker 11 (28:26):
What are we talking about When people say arm talent,
there's varying different variations of it, Like is it a
strong arm?
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Is it the arm angles? Is it? The timing? Is
it the flick of the wrists? Is the way it
looks when you make those throws?
Speaker 11 (28:41):
I think he has all of that, and he's playing
better than I think he's ever played in his career.
So when I watched the game, you know, some guys
they drop back, hey, rhythm and feed clean eyes, clean feet.
He's getting there in the second hitch when he's supposed to,
like Stafford, It's like poetry in motion, you know.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
I'm like, damn, that was a good throw.
Speaker 11 (29:00):
Like he made the two box he made the two
fade throws to DeVante Adams and the second one where
DeVante ran up the tunnel. It was an extended handoff.
When he threw it, I said, oh, that was beautiful.
Devonte hadn't even caught the ball yet, but I just
knew watching the throw and the way that he put
(29:23):
He puts a little style at the end of some
of his throws, and you know, coaches would talk to
me about that, like, you know, as a quarterback when
ooh I got him. Yeah, I didn't pull the string.
I dropped it in the bucket. And when you watch
him make those kind of throws, you're almost certain he's
gonna complete every single pass. To me, his arm talent,
(29:45):
he's the king of the no look throw. I know
we all praise Patrick Mahomes for it, but Stafford's doing
it like eight times a game, and he's doing it
with his helmet stripe. So he'll throw over here, but
his helmet stripe is this way and his eyes are
over here, and like most go they throw interceptions because
you can't peripherally see who's all back here. So I've
(30:06):
just been completely amazed, to be quite honest, with what
Stafford has done. It's hard for guys to carry that
arm talent into their late thirties early forties, and we
saw that with Peyton, we saw that with Tom, and
now we're seeing Stafford defy all those odds and he
looks like he could play for another five, six, seven
years the way he's playing this year.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Best team in the NFL is wow. Best team in
the NFL, LA Rams.
Speaker 11 (30:34):
I really believe they when you look at the way
they're structured. Two number one receivers and DeVante Adams and
Pukinacua quarterbacks playing at an MVP level. Two running backs
and Blake Korn and Kiren that are that give you
everything you absolutely need, and their defense is just smothering.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
I mean, I felt bad for Baker with the shoulder.
Speaker 11 (30:55):
Don't know what the injury prognosis is going to be
for him, but it was almost as if he was
out there fending for himself. That this Rams team. I
know they don't have Aaron Donald, and I know they
won a Super Bowl, but this might be the best
Rams team that Sean McVay has ever had.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Did you ever kid around with Andrew Luck beat me
Mount for the Heisman?
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (31:17):
We me and Andrew go way back. We were Texas competing.
Speaker 11 (31:22):
We never played against each other, but I've known Edgi
for a really long time, and when we got to
the Heisman, it was you know, he was the guy
that everybody thought was going to win for the past
three years when we got there, and he definitely wanted
to win that award. It just so happened that we
had a better year.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
PAULI, do you have the voting.
Speaker 6 (31:41):
Yeah, he got him by about two hundred votes. It's
pretty close.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Beatle joke around with Andrew with a few.
Speaker 11 (31:49):
I am not the guy that poked and Pride's guys
about the Heisman Trophy. I look at it more as
an honor as opposed to, hey, I want it, you didn't.
And I actually took everybody out. So they give you
an opportunity to take a limo by yourself, go out
in town, have fun with your people, or you can
get limos for everybody and everybody can go out on
(32:12):
the town.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
So I chose to bring everybody out.
Speaker 11 (32:15):
Monti Ball, Tire, Matthew, Andrew Luck, Trent Richardson, and we
had a great time on the city there in New York.
But it's been cool to watch Andrew, you know, at
Stanford being the general manager and the reaction he had
on the sideline this past weekend with a scoop and
score shows you how much he loves football. And I'm
(32:35):
happy for him because at the end of the day,
this guy retired early, right, he retired early when everyone
thought he was at the prime of his career.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
Because he didn't love football anymore. So it's awesome to
see him back in love of football. Could you see
him being the head coach at Stanford next year? Yeah,
I mean he's already pretty much?
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Is that.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Pretty much?
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Just that's what I felt that, Like he's he it's
so into it, he's so close that that's as close
as you can get to the action by being the
head coach.
Speaker 11 (33:06):
So he could take that stand up for job Dan,
don't you think it's the smartest way to do it?
Like he's a general manager. They're interviewing him on the sideline.
How many other general managers are getting interviewed in the
middle of the dow?
Speaker 3 (33:18):
I know, yea, the team isn't that good this year? Yeah?
Speaker 11 (33:23):
What they could potentially be really good over the next
couple of years. And then he just waltzes right in there,
puts the head coach hat on, and now he doesn't
have to take those losses on his record. He can have,
he can have a good team and go out there
and make it happen. I'm really happy for him.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Good to talk to you.
Speaker 11 (33:39):
Thank you, Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Thanksgiving, God bless.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
That's Robert Griffin Junior, the third out of Pocket with
RG three podcast. Wherever you get your podcast, will take
a break. We will give you our best and Worst
of the weekend right after this. Fox Sports Radio has

(34:05):
phone calls coming up. Rick Neuheisel top of the hour,
I'll ask him what he thinks Lane Kiffin is going
to do.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
Supposed to get that answer. By the end of the week.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
It's Mississippi against Mississippi State, and you know that's one
of those where a coach doesn't want distractions leading up
to any big games, but then he's the distraction leading
up to the big game. Stat of the Day brought
to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of
the program. Let's go around the infield todd Best and
Worst of the Weekend.
Speaker 5 (34:34):
Best of the weekend.
Speaker 10 (34:35):
He did it.
Speaker 8 (34:35):
In a tough fifty one to forty seven lost to Utah.
But how about some left for Kansasity running back Joe
Jackson rush for nearly three hundred yards, found the end
zone in Salt Lake on three occasions as well. Little
love for Joe Jackson For my best worst, Syracuse a
lot of quick twenty one points before Notre Dame's offense
ever got on the field to pick six a block
punt for a touchdown. The injury plagued Arne squeeze in
South Bend seventy to seven.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Yikes, I tuned in. It was twenty one nothing go?
How did you score twenty one points?
Speaker 3 (35:02):
That was crazy? And all of a sudden, I go
and the offense hasn't been on the field yet. That
was crazy. Yes it was, Yes, it was.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
I felt terrible for Syracuse there.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
Yeah, my goodness. The Seaton best and worst of the weekend.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
My best of the weekend is going to be a
tie between the Chiefs and the Cowboys. Both of their
seasons sort of reborn, both of them kind of saved
their Chiefs really needed that win. My worst of the
weekend is going to be Shane Steike and.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
Man, you have the Chiefs on the ropes.
Speaker 4 (35:30):
You have Patrick Mahomes down, and you you found a
way to blue that I don't know if Jonathan Taylor
got enough carries and overtime, I don't know if you
punt on fourth and four.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
There.
Speaker 4 (35:38):
There was just a lot of questionable decisions that were
made that maybe we'll continue as a storyline throughout the
rest of the season.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
Felt like the Colts did a disservice to every other
team in the NFL, all the contenders. Yes, because that's
where everybuddy goes, Hey, Colts are leading twenty to nine.
Speaker 4 (35:56):
This is I would bet now, like the rest of
my pay for the year that the Chiefs win the
Super Bowl. Now, just based off of that game where
it's like, oh, this is where their season turns around.
This is why they won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 12 (36:07):
This game stinks, Marvin, best and worst of the weekend,
Your boy, my boy, diego Pavilla from Vanderbilt thirty three
to thirty nine, four and eighty four yards, five touchdowns.
Speaker 9 (36:17):
Dude's been on a roll. Worse of the weekend. Fritzy
took mine, so I'm gonna go my second worst. The
Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Baker Mayfield, three weeks ago was an
MVP candidate. They've lost three straight and he got hurt.
Speaker 6 (36:29):
PAULI Best and worst Pitt Panthers is forty two to
twenty eight over Georgia Tech freshman running back Jackiri and
Turner twenty one carries two hundred and one yards to
lead the Pitt Panthers and another running back BYU running
back L. J. Martin thirty two carries to twenty two
and two touchdowns BYU is now ten and one.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
Hottest Rookie's biggest superstars, the Old time Greats. The only
place to collect them all. Pantini Trading Cards, the official
trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show, Rare Inserge autograph cards,
memorabilia cards, Instant Classics, Benini America, net Zach and Knoxville.
Speaker 10 (37:01):
Hey Zach, adp thanks for taking my call. The best
of the weekend was at one o'clock Slate, just all
the endings and the witching hour, as Todd Hansen likes
to say. But the worst of the weekend was jaw
Moran almost going full Jah Morant.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
There was no gun involved.
Speaker 10 (37:22):
But I love that he calls a multiple time champion
in one of the greatest shooters in the NBA at
bum and I would just say, make it to the finals,
or maybe just make it through a season without posting
a gun on Instagram live before you want to take
shots at someone like Klay Thompson.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Yeah, I was embarrassed for Jah Morant. He's not even playing.
You're in street clothes. You should shut up. How about play?
And then you're gonna call Klay Thompson a bum. There
have been very few professional athletes who were more professional
(38:00):
on and off the court than Clay. Steve Kerr would
tell you that he wasn't high maintenance, he wasn't low maintenance.
Speaker 3 (38:06):
He was no maintenance.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
He accepted his role, he played it great. He's a
Hall of Famer. And I got some kid on the
sidelines in street clothes who can't stay healthy and stay
out of trouble hauling Klay Thompson a bum. Michael and Ohio,
Hi Mike, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 13 (38:23):
Gentlemen? Six to two, Slim one seventy five, Best of
the Weekend. Hold on to your horses because this is
going to be really weird. Listen to Fritzy talk about
his trip in Vegas and the highlight being these amazing
curtains and eating his snacks and drinking his drinking dues
and just people watching. I think I found my spirit
animal because honestly, that really resonated with me and I'm
(38:45):
a little scared. So thank you, Fritzy. That's my best
and worst a teacher at you and Awaiton Liman and
our women's soccer team got invited to the NAIA National
Attorney but we lost in the first round, so that
was the worst. But hey, gentlemen, if you give me
your sizes, I can send you some un oh swag
go racers.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
Absolutely send a large and extra large there. Thank you, Michael.
And I will say the curtains at the Fountain Blue
are pretty spectacular. Like you press a button and they
open up and even if you just pull on the
curtain a little bit, it'll close. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
you don't have to hit the button. I mean it's
in fairness to Todd. Now, I wouldn't spend my whole
(39:28):
you know week there, I'd walk around, maybe go outside
for a moment. Yeah, but you you were playing with
the curtain. You were fascinated with the curtains.
Speaker 8 (39:37):
You could put all the lights on gim them, shut
them off, and then the curtains open and there's the
sphere in the whole strip.
Speaker 5 (39:42):
It's like, that's a big deal to me.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
By the way, we spend a lot of time with
Frank Caliendo when we were out there, and he did
a James in Virginia impersonation at one point, segue James
and Virginia joining us, Hey James.
Speaker 14 (40:01):
They called me completely off guard, DP. My call, man,
that that is the humbling to say the least.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
Man.
Speaker 14 (40:09):
I would love to hear that, man. I tell you what, Man,
the interview you did with Prawley Cowarly, the gentleman of
the f one, he had me rolling. Man, his energy
was through the roof. I love that room. Excuse me,
you really called me off guard with Frank Caliendo. That
guy's the man. I definitely am calling about college football
(40:33):
and NFL real quick, DP, Man, I don't know if
Alabama is going to make the college football playoffs. Eight
of the top eleven teams are undefeated or have one loss.
Now the caveat is a couple of them will play
each other in cover championships. But I don't think the
team should get deemed for losing the conference title games,
(40:54):
but I don't make those fonts, but definitely that loss
to Florida State earlier in the year and woming large
for Alabama. And in the NFL, you have ten teams
in both conferences fighting for seven playoff spots. I don't
know if ten and seven gets you in in either conference.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
Man Well, running out of time, James Final Hour on
this Monday More calls Best and Worst of the weekend.
Rick new Heiser will join us. We'll talk to him
about that Notre Dame Miami conundrum for the committee, and
we'll talk about Lane Kiffin's future that's coming up.
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Hope you had a great weekend. Everybody gang is all
back from Vegas. Everybody returned some state of extra day
to watch Pitbull in concert.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
The back room guys did. But everybody's here.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Fritzy, Seaton, Marv Pauli, yours truly, and of course the
brg's make sure you take advantage of the offer going
to Danpatrick dot com.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
The calendars.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
There's autograph non autograph calendars, and it's a takeoff on
iconic magazine covers and Fritzy and Seaton. Uh probably stood
out with their different months that they were at one point.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
I think there is nudity.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
I will say that there's nudity in the calendar, Todd nudity.
Anybody else nude in the Seaton? Are you nude in
this calendar?
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (00:51):
No, I'm not nude. You have your top off. I
do have my top office sports bra on, don't you well?
Yes I do, Yes, I do.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Of course you do.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
There that's a tease for you. But you can go
to danpatrick dot com. Also check out the Tailgate store.
See I can get an autograph calendar. Select Tailgate Moonshine
purchases while supplies. Last stat of the day brought to
you by Patini America, the official trading cards of the
Dan Patrick Show. It's Carolina against the Niners. And it
feels like this would be a Thursday night game, but
(01:23):
it's a really relevant Monday night game, the Panthers and
the Niners. And I think the Niners are favored by
six and a half something like that, so it could
be fun.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Maybe.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Actually it's now seven and a half. Panthers getting seven
and a half against the Niners over unders. For entertainment purposes,
forty nine and a half eight seven seven to three
DP show operators sitting by Tyler or take your phone
calls good morning if you're watching on Peacock it's a
streaming partner and also the NBC Sports Network. Robert griff
(02:00):
In the third will join us. Coming up a little bit,
we'll talk with the Rick Neuheisel about Lane Kiffin's decision,
the pending decision that will probably be announced by Friday
or at the end of Friday. Raiders have fired their
offensive coordinator, Chip Kelly. They were averaging fifteen points per game.
They brought him in and obviously thought with that quarterback
(02:22):
running back tight end, they were going to put up
some points, and they did not. They put up some
disap points. Oh that's not bad.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
Or in a while you got one.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
I mean, I'm still under the weather. Okay.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
I doctored that in with the bloop that I gave you.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
So they fire Chip Kelly. Chiefs over the Colts. And
that's one of those games where the Chiefs. Chiefs are
going to look back on that game and go, thank
god we got that win, and the Colts might look
back on that and go, we could have put them.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
We could have put them to bed.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
The rest of the AFC is going to look back
and go, come on, Colts, act like you are a contender.
And that was their moment, that was their here we go.
Let's see the Colts. Let's go.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
They're winning twenty to nine and I'm going are right.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
But it was too much time and their offense wasn't
doing anything, and then you gave the Homes an opportunity
and they were opportunistic.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
So the Chiefs. What's the schedule coming up? PAULI? It
eases up a little.
Speaker 6 (03:23):
Bit there at the Cowboys on Thanksgiving host the Texans
host the Chargers at the Titans versus host, the Broncos
at the Raiders. A lot of winnable games.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
I'd look at two of them that I would say,
the Raiders and the Titans. But I'm the Texans are good.
I wouldn't rule that out. They go to Dallas, Dallas
is playing, Well, that's not a W. I mean, if
it is, it's kind of a double not W do
you wish? Yeah, the Chargers Bronco. No, just say, you know,
(03:59):
maybe there's maybe there's three wins in there, let's say four,
so that puts them at Does that give him ten wins? What?
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Yes? Six four wins? We'll get to ten and seven
with four wins the rest of it.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Now, you didn't even buzz in. You were like, the
rest standings.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Very well, and six or five four wins tenants?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Okay, ten and seven should get him in in the AFC.
All right, I was wondering about this. Let's say we
looked at the MVP candidates and I already mentioned this
first hour. According to DraftKings, it's Matthew Stafford's to lose.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Then it's Drake May.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Those are the two guys who it looks like have
a legitimate shot to win this, Jonathan Taylor well down
the list, Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes. What if the NFL
did what college football does for the Heisman? What if
we invited four candidates, maybe five if you want to,
but let's say four to the NFL Honors Night. Matthew Stafford,
(04:58):
Jamiir Gibbs, Drake May, Jackson Smith, NJIGMA.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
I think that would be fun.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Now, you're not going to have Gibbs or Smith NJIGMA win,
but you want representation there, and I think that would
be great. And if there's another candidate you want to
throw in there, yes, Paul.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
Okay for the fifth spot, Miles Garrett or Jonathan Taylor,
the running back of the.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Corp, I would put Miles Garrett. I'd put Miles Garrett.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Miles Garrett's gonna end up with the all time sack record,
single season sack record, and he had three sacks.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
He's got eighteen on the season.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
So since the NFL began tracking individual sacks in nineteen
eighty two, the only player to have more sacks through
the first twelve games of a season Reggie White. He
had nineteen in his first twelve games. That was back
in nineteen eighty seven. Stat of Today brought to you
(05:55):
by Panini America, the official trading cards of the program.
The Browns had ten sacks in the win against the Raiders,
and that is the most in a single game since
nineteen eighty four. Also, Shadoor Sanders is the first Browns
quarterback to win his first NFL start since the franchise
returned to Cleveland in nineteen ninety nine. They had seventeen
(06:15):
quarterbacks make their first NFL start in a Brown's uniform,
and they all lost.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Oh stall of a.
Speaker 7 (06:24):
Day, Stanta Day, Statava Day, Stantata day.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
This is the stant of the day.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
I haven't spent a lot of time on Shoudor Sanders,
and rightfully so, because any other quarterback whose name is
not Shudor Sanders, we're probably not spending that much time.
And I know that Dion was at the game. He
he had a couple of big moments there. I just
want to let him be able to play instead of
letting the media use him, you know, as a talking point,
(07:00):
because I don't need any declarations on Shador Sanders.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
I don't need it.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Hey, if he would have started the entire season, okay,
he didn't. Let's see what he does. Be fair to
the kid. And he had three big plays, but he
didn't beat himself. He didn't lose a game for his team.
He had an interception, but he acted like a rookie quarterback.
So there's positives there. Now you're beating the Raiders. Okay,
(07:27):
Let's see how he does next game against the forty
nine ers and give him a chance. And I hope
he gets a chance to start a few more games.
Then you can find find out if he can play
or not and put that. But if you're going to
go with those numbers and say hey, we'll take those
those numbers, well, that means your defense has to play
like that against everybody and you're not going to win
(07:50):
a lot of games if that's the case where you're
waiting for your defense to have ten sacks. Now, I
want to see if he can push the ball down
the field. He had a couple of big plays. He
will throw the ball deep. I think he gave the
Browns a boost. I thought it was great. Uh come
in play and uh you know, see if there's something
that they can add, you know, to the play calling here.
(08:13):
But it's good if I give Dylan Gabriel a couple
more starts. I give Shador Sanders a couple more starts.
And really, in what I was told is Dylan Gabriel
was quicker at the line of scrimmage and getting the
ball out. That was the big thing that he couldn
have the you know, same arm as Shadoor. Neither of
them is really that mobile, uh, I mean athletic. But
(08:36):
and that's what I don't want to see any kind
of rushing numbers with Shadoor Sanders. I want him staying
in the pocket. I want him you know, now he
rolled right a couple of times, that's great, but I
don't want him trying to, you know, revert back to
college days where you're trying to extend to play. But
I thought, for the most part, that was pretty good.
(08:56):
And I'll go back to what I said prior to
the draft. I thought, the Raiders, we're going to take him.
With Tom Brady there mentoring him, and the fact that
you needed a backup quarterback for Gino Smith, I thought
he was obviously going higher. And then all of a
sudden I talked to my source and said, you know,
he's dropping for a variety of reasons. But what you
(09:17):
saw yesterday good for him and the Cleveland Browns more importantly, Yeah, PAULI.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
Right now, the Browns had the second rank defense and
yards given up in the NFL. What a big advantage
for any young quarterback to have that. No, not a
lot of pressure to put up thirty five points.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Dak Prescott through for three point fifty four. He surpassed
Tony Romo for the most in Cowboys franchise history. And
they came back from twenty one zip. That equals the
biggest comeback in franchise history. You go back to twenty
fourteen against the Rams and with the Eagles, the questions
are there. It's weird how we're not quite sure, like
(09:55):
what is happening here? You're not running the football. Give
credit to Dallas the up the run Saquon Barkley, but
do you have twenty six yards? I mean that's crazy
and a fumble. I mean their best play might be
the tush push. Why not just line up and just
do that to an entire series, Just go We're just
(10:18):
going to do this down the field. Let's make a
total mockery of the tush push. But you just keep
watching and you're going there there's something there. And I've
said this from the outset that there just felt like
there was some kind of disconnect, something, an underlying.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Issue or two.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
And you saw that you're up twenty one nothing and
nobody's got any worries until you're not scoring any points.
In Dallas all of a sudden makes a couple of
plays and give them credit. You know, Dallas, it's become
it's gonna be a you don't just say that's a
w Yeah, Chiefs got the Cowboys and that's not a
(11:01):
given and that defense that'll be an interesting test for
the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Yeah, Paul, if.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
You were Saquon Barkley, they were on the one yard
line last night the Eagles after our catch, would you
be salty at all that you don't get the ball
at the one yard line to punch it in? Well,
their best play is a tousch push, right, But also
he's a really tough goal line running back. You wouldn't
mix it up a little bit and keep your star
running back happy.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
I was with a couple people yesterday.
Speaker 6 (11:30):
We were discussing It's like, if you're Barkley, you'd be like, let's.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Mix it up.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
No, I score a touchdown. I'm not here for feelings.
I got a win, Like, hey, let's give it to Saquon,
keep him happy. I got to score a touchdown. And
this is an offense that's been spotty, Yes, Todd, but.
Speaker 8 (11:50):
If they're all expecting the toushbush, what about rolling out
and then it's hurts, take it around the bend or
if they come up on you a little dump it
to the tight end.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Just once in a while.
Speaker 8 (11:58):
I kind of would like to see that everyone's expecting
you to just push forward and even as high a.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
Percentage as that is, just roll out and run it in.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
You don't stump it.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
You don't get extra points for creativity. No, you know what,
We're gonna give you eight points.
Speaker 8 (12:13):
But give them something to think about in their quarters
and weeks to come down.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
Wait, once in a while, they don't do the twitch perss,
they go around the bend.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
What's the poll question for hour two seton? We got
one here from Paul the over five hundred team. You
believe in the least.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Oh, that's Jacksonville.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
He's gonna start with his Bears, then Jaguars, Panthers, forty
nine ers.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
It's weird to believe in Carolina more than Jacksonville.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
But I've watched two full games with the Panthers.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
And it's weird for the forty nine ers to be
on that list with those teams and make sense, like
I don't know, Yeah, pauling.
Speaker 6 (12:53):
To be Devil's advocate here with the Bears. The quarterback
they quarterbacks they've beaten in the last six games, Mason Rudolph,
Agian McCarthy, Jackson Dart, Joe Flacco, Tyler Huntley which they
lost to, and Spencer Rattler. They're doing it against not
the best quarterbacks. It makes you question what they could
do against a good team, a very good team.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I still think they're a playoff caliber team.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Of course I said that last year as well, but.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Jacksonville still that, like they got seven wins, like it's
just you're going, okay, all right. And I'm watching the
NFC South Dang Panthers. I mean, Panthers could win their division.
My Panthers could win the division. There, I'm watching the Falcons.
(13:46):
I tune in and I see Kirk Cousins hesitate on
an in route and he throws a pick six, and
I was like, oh my god, kirkty cousins watching the Saints.
I watch the litle bit of that Taysom Hill got
in a corner back.
Speaker 6 (14:02):
All they're always surprised when he runs it.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
I know they're always surprised.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Uh, Taysom Hill's in, here's a run, and then he
does run. I think he lost yards there. Yes, Seed, it.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
Feels like we're running down a lot of times a
lot of teams. I still have the Mike Tomlin topic
in my head a little bit where I'm like, man,
I bet those teams would trade with a with a
Mike Tomlin like run. Oh yeah for a while. Man,
I think sometimes being competitive, even if you don't win,
it's a little underrated.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Well yeah, but the bar was set so high, and
I think, now, okay, let me see if he's we're
going to go back to a super Bowl, we're gonna
go to an AFC title game. That your that's your
expectations in Carolina. It's just get through the season without
getting fired or you know, Tennessee, uh some of these
other Saints where you're going, you know, what's your what's
(14:53):
your goal? Not get fired? Try to make it through
all seventeen games. Yes, Marmon Seton's.
Speaker 9 (15:00):
Point, the Steelers really haven't had like a great roster.
Their defense hasn't been all that great besides TJ. Watt,
and they haven't had a quarterback. So it's pretty admirable
for Tomlin to do what he's been doing with this roster.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
They're not good, Yeah, but why aren't they good? Did
they have talent?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Remember they had to get rid of their GM, and
then they got rid of their GM, and then so
is it the GM?
Speaker 3 (15:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I mean, they've had some defensive playmakers aside from TJ. Watt,
but you know, the division, it is kind of spotty.
Speaker 10 (15:38):
Now.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Baltimore has been pretty good, but Cincinnati can be up
and down and their coach probably will lose his job
the Brown situation. No don't, but I do think that
there is a local perception of Mike Tomlin that is
completely different than the national perception.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Yes, Mark, I'm with you.
Speaker 9 (16:00):
For me is great wide receivers with tons of potential
that end up not doing anything for whatever reason. They
go off the deep end, and I'm like, man, this
is all under your watch, Mike, Mike Tomlin.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Okay, but is he drafting these guys or is the
GM drafting these guys? Does he have to put up
with these personalities I got, I don't know the chain
of command and how much, say Mike Tomlin has.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
See, do we really think after this many years Mike
Tomlin doesn't have say in the players that they're bringing in.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I would I would think he would have a say.
I would imagine, But it's do I give him credit
or do I give him blame? Because I don't know
if he got credit for the players they did bring
in that like did he want T J.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Watt? Like, I don't know, Yeah, Polly.
Speaker 6 (16:43):
I've got a lot of notes from Steelers fans on
social media saying Mike Tomlin, in their opinion, I don't
know if it's a report has complete control over the
roster over the past ten years, like as it works
with the GM, nothing is done without Tomlin's approval.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
I don't know if that's true, but a lot of
people say that.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Okay, well then we should ding him on that that
it's not Hey, you drafted him. I got to coach him.
If he's involved in this, then you know he's part
of the problem.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
Yeh See, Which is I get to that callers point
he won with Cowers. Guys, yeah, and hasn't done anything
with his own.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
How about we take a break. RG three will join
us coming up. Get to more of your phone calls

Speaker 2 (18:02):
Panthers getting seven and a half tonight against the forty
nine Ers a surprisingly competitive matchup here. When you look
just at records Niners seven and four and the Panthers
are six and five, it feels like a Thursday night
game on a Monday night a seven to seven to
three DP show email address Dpadanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle
(18:23):
a DP show. Robert Griffin Junior the third Fox Football analyst,
former Heisman winner, and his podcast is Out of Pocket
with RG three. He was on the call for BYU's
win over Cincinnati on Saturday. Good to see you again.
Let me start with the Browns situation and what would
your philosophy be, coaching philosophy be moving forward with the
(18:47):
quarterbacking situation.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Yeah, I mean, Dan shed stand, this should be the
starter move forward.
Speaker 11 (18:53):
And I say that fully knowing that if you listen
to Kevin Stefanski's postgame speech, he wanted nothing with giving
Shadder any type of credit for the way that the
team performed. And I know the skeptics out there, I'll say, well,
he had one hundred and forty six yards of yards
after the catch and he had a bad interception. But
(19:16):
when you watch the actual game and you watched how
the team responded to him, you haven't seen that from
a quarterback at the starting position for the Clinton Browns
in quite some time. And it's just so's It's an
interesting thing because when you love the game of football,
sometimes the game will love you back.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Not always, but sometimes it does.
Speaker 11 (19:35):
And when you look at Shader's situation come into the season,
Joe Flacco is a starter. He's not there anymore. He's
in he's in Cincinnati. Kenny Pickett is a guy they
wanted to be the starter. He got hurt in training camp.
Then Dylan Gabriel comes in, the guy that the head
coach clearly prefers and loves, and he gets hurt and
gets a concussion. So when you get your opportunity to
have your first full week of practice reps with the
number one offense and you go out there and you
(19:57):
perform the way that he did to me, that just
shows you when the team responds to you, they play
with more purpose, they play with more excitement. The defense
comes away with ten sacks. I think you have the
guy in the building right now that should be the
starter for the remainder of the season. And the big thing, Dan,
it wasn't just like, hey take the simple stuff. It
was the extended plays, the big playmaking on the broken
(20:21):
plays that they've been missing this entire season that Shadera
was able to pull off. And I think that's why
he should be the starter.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
What do you think of this idea.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
If I treat the NFL MVP like the Heisman and
I invite Matthew Stafford, Jamiir Gibbs, Drake May, Jackson Smith, Jigma,
and Miles Garrett. Okay, what do you think if those
guys are all there and we make the announcement of
the MVP. So, I know, Jamir Gibbs isn't gonna win,
or Smith, the Jigma, Miles Garrett because he's a defensive player,
(20:53):
but to have representation would be great at multiple positions.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
What do you think?
Speaker 11 (20:59):
Yeah, I was going to say, but why not? You
know we've gotten stuck on this. Hey, the quarterback has
to win the MVP or the quarterback has to win
the Heisman Trophy, and I don't think. I don't think
that's the case at all. Right now, when you talk
about the Heisman Trophy, the top two guys on my
list are Jacob Rodriguez, the linebacker from Texas Tech, and
Jeremiah Love, the running back from Notre Dame. So I
(21:22):
don't know why we have to be stuck into that.
I understand that quarterbacks are the sexy pick, right, They
sell more jerseys, they more people know who the quarterbacks are.
But I tweeted out yesterday that I think Jackson Smith
and jig but should be on everybody's list.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Now.
Speaker 11 (21:40):
I do believe that Matt Stafford should be at the
top of everybody's list because I don't think anyone's playing
quarterback better than he is right now. And the Rams
are absolutely rolling. But when you look at Miles Garrett,
the only thing that could maybe prevent him from winning
MVP is the Browns record eighteen sacks in eleven games
is unheard of. He is going to add absolutely smash
(22:01):
my colleague Michael Stohan's record when it comes to saxon
a season. But I think all these guys, when you
have these super impressive years Saquon Barkley last year, I
felt like should have been probably should have won NFL MVP.
So I am not a guy and I've been I
don't want to say maligned for it, but I have
(22:21):
been chastised for it by some of my colleagues on
my stops about putting guys that are not quarterbacks in
that MVP race. But this year shows you exactly what
you're talking about. Dan running backs, wide receivers, defensive ends, well,
they should all be in that conversation, and why not
make it more of an event to go out and
be able to announce the NFL MVP and truly tell
(22:44):
those guys' stories in a unique way, just like we
do with the Heisman Trophy.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Should we be focusing more on the Cowboys comeback or
the Eagles collapse?
Speaker 3 (22:54):
I think it should be focusing on the Cowboys comeback.
Speaker 11 (22:57):
I will say this about the Eagles. If people were
upset that they were eight and two, oh, they're definitely
upset now that they're eight and three and they gave
up twenty four nuns at points to.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Their division rival.
Speaker 11 (23:07):
I do believe that Jalen Hurts and the criticism around
him it's not just unfair, because then we know this
life is not fair, right, it is what it is.
But I just think it's not justified. There's a lot
of teams that wish they could be eight and three
right now, and Jalen Hurts shouldn't be getting some of
the criticism that he is.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
But to focus on the Cowboys.
Speaker 11 (23:28):
How amazing of a pickup has George Pickens been? I
mean when you look at receivers, and this is something
my coaches are talking to him all the time. Don't
just look at a guy's catches in his yards, look
at his targets and how many, what share or percentage
of his targets is he actually catching?
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Do you have to throw it to him fifteen times
for him to catch ten of them?
Speaker 11 (23:48):
And Pickins last night nine targets, nine catches, one hundred
and forty six yards and talk about efficiency for them
to come back the way that they did, I think
he was a big part of that. Dak is obviously
playing an extremely high level. Funniest thing I saw on
the internet though, was the Eagles posting a wall of
(24:08):
all their defenders and saying who's going to get past this?
And after the Cowboys won, they posted a picture of
Dak Prescott as the kool Aid Man and that made
me last harder than anything yesterday, So that was pretty epic.
They definitely won the day on Twitter for the Cowboys
social media team.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Okay, but why do the Steelers move on from George Pickens?
And would you give him a long term deal? If
you're Jerry Jones, I mean, Jerry.
Speaker 11 (24:37):
Jones wouldn't give Michael pars Is a long term deal.
But I think when you have wide receivers, you have
to be willing to manage the good with the bad.
And I think in Pittsburgh George Pickens had kind of
wore out his welcome. I think they felt like they
were on an Antonio Brown track with him there. And
(24:59):
you I have to give Pickens credit because I know
they're gonna people are gonna, you know, kill the Steelers
are saying, why would you get rid of this guy?
Speaker 3 (25:07):
You just got to understand all the stuff that was
going on there.
Speaker 11 (25:10):
And now Pickens has come to the Dallas Cowboys, a
team that most would say doesn't have a great team culture,
and he's been a great teammate. So I just took
my cap to Pickens to say to see him mature
so much in just a year. I think Ceedee Lamb
has a lot to do with that as well. And
you know, when you go to Dallas as a receiver,
(25:32):
there's one thing you will get, it's your numbers. And
I think I have had to manage receivers who all
want the ball.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
And at the.
Speaker 11 (25:43):
College level, I had four guys that could all have
one hundred catches in a season. I didn't quite have
that in the NFL. But you have to learn to
manage those situations and those relationships while trying to win
and trying to help those receivers get paid. And I
think Pickens is very, very thankful for Dak Prescott because
not only are they winning, but he's also getting his numbers,
(26:06):
which is going to change his life.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
I'm talking to RG three his out of pocket podcast.
Out of Pocket with RG three, wherever you get your podcast,
give me the team or teams you're just not quite
sure of right now.
Speaker 11 (26:19):
Oh yeah, and they're not gonna like this one, but
it's still for me.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
The Indianapolis Colts.
Speaker 11 (26:27):
And the reason I say that is they had a
very unique opportunity this past weekend to beat Patrick Mahomes
and the Kansity Chiefs in the way that no one
thought they could beat them. And for Daniel Jones, he's
proved a lot of people wrong, including myself, with.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
The way that he's played this year.
Speaker 11 (26:49):
But he started hot, and over the past couple of
weeks he started to cool off just a little bit
and maybe come back down to.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Earth, but he's played his tail off.
Speaker 11 (26:59):
I had him in the MVP a couple of weeks
ago because listen, when you Dan, you know this when
you're wrong about something, you gotta admit it. And I
did not think that he would play as well as
he had with the Colts. But the knock on him
was the same knock that was on Sam Donald, you know,
the same knock that's been on other guys that have
gone places and had extreme success in the regular season,
but then when they get in those big time playoff matchups,
(27:21):
they don't quite live up to the expectation. And this,
to me, was a playoff game for the Colts, and
they had the Chiefs beat and they came back Patrick
Mahomes through for three hundred and fifty two yards, no touchdowns,
but they were able to call themselves back from an
eleven point deficit and win the game, And that to
me was a sign of like, can Daniel Jones? Can
(27:43):
can he close the door on a big time quarterback
the best that we have I think in the galaxy still.
I know Stafford is playing the best right now, but
Mahomes is on pace to be the greatest ever and
he couldn't.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Do it on the Chiefs off day. That to me
was the thing.
Speaker 11 (28:00):
I'm like, Man, I'm just not sure about them as
a whole competing in the playoffs if they couldn't beat
this version of the Kansaity Chiefs.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Explain to me, Matthew Stafford at this age doing what
he's doing.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Yeah, I said it yesterday.
Speaker 11 (28:16):
I don't think I can remember a quarterback with his
level of arm talent that's played this well at the
age of thirty seven years old.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
But explain arm talent.
Speaker 11 (28:26):
What are we talking about When people say arm talent,
there's varying different variations of it, Like is it a
strong arm?
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Is it the arm angles? Is it? The timing? Is
it the flick of the wrists? Is the way it
looks when you make those throws?
Speaker 11 (28:41):
I think he has all of that, and he's playing
better than I think he's ever played in his career.
So when I watched the game, you know, some guys
they drop back, hey, rhythm and feed clean eyes, clean feet.
He's getting there in the second hitch when he's supposed to,
like Stafford, It's like poetry in motion, you know.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
I'm like, damn, that was a good throw.
Speaker 11 (29:00):
Like he made the two box he made the two
fade throws to DeVante Adams and the second one where
DeVante ran up the tunnel. It was an extended handoff.
When he threw it, I said, oh, that was beautiful.
Devonte hadn't even caught the ball yet, but I just
knew watching the throw and the way that he put
(29:23):
He puts a little style at the end of some
of his throws, and you know, coaches would talk to
me about that, like, you know, as a quarterback when
ooh I got him. Yeah, I didn't pull the string.
I dropped it in the bucket. And when you watch
him make those kind of throws, you're almost certain he's
gonna complete every single pass. To me, his arm talent,
(29:45):
he's the king of the no look throw. I know
we all praise Patrick Mahomes for it, but Stafford's doing
it like eight times a game, and he's doing it
with his helmet stripe. So he'll throw over here, but
his helmet stripe is this way and his eyes are
over here, and like most go they throw interceptions because
you can't peripherally see who's all back here. So I've
(30:06):
just been completely amazed, to be quite honest, with what
Stafford has done. It's hard for guys to carry that
arm talent into their late thirties early forties, and we
saw that with Peyton, we saw that with Tom, and
now we're seeing Stafford defy all those odds and he
looks like he could play for another five, six, seven
years the way he's playing this year.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Best team in the NFL is wow. Best team in
the NFL, LA Rams.
Speaker 11 (30:34):
I really believe they when you look at the way
they're structured. Two number one receivers and DeVante Adams and
Pukinacua quarterbacks playing at an MVP level. Two running backs
and Blake Korn and Kiren that are that give you
everything you absolutely need, and their defense is just smothering.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
I mean, I felt bad for Baker with the shoulder.
Speaker 11 (30:55):
Don't know what the injury prognosis is going to be
for him, but it was almost as if he was
out there fending for himself. That this Rams team. I
know they don't have Aaron Donald, and I know they
won a Super Bowl, but this might be the best
Rams team that Sean McVay has ever had.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Did you ever kid around with Andrew Luck beat me
Mount for the Heisman?
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (31:17):
We me and Andrew go way back. We were Texas competing.
Speaker 11 (31:22):
We never played against each other, but I've known Edgi
for a really long time, and when we got to
the Heisman, it was you know, he was the guy
that everybody thought was going to win for the past
three years when we got there, and he definitely wanted
to win that award. It just so happened that we
had a better year.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
PAULI, do you have the voting.
Speaker 6 (31:41):
Yeah, he got him by about two hundred votes. It's
pretty close.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Beatle joke around with Andrew with a few.
Speaker 11 (31:49):
I am not the guy that poked and Pride's guys
about the Heisman Trophy. I look at it more as
an honor as opposed to, hey, I want it, you didn't.
And I actually took everybody out. So they give you
an opportunity to take a limo by yourself, go out
in town, have fun with your people, or you can
get limos for everybody and everybody can go out on
(32:12):
the town.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
So I chose to bring everybody out.
Speaker 11 (32:15):
Monti Ball, Tire, Matthew, Andrew Luck, Trent Richardson, and we
had a great time on the city there in New York.
But it's been cool to watch Andrew, you know, at
Stanford being the general manager and the reaction he had
on the sideline this past weekend with a scoop and
score shows you how much he loves football. And I'm
(32:35):
happy for him because at the end of the day,
this guy retired early, right, he retired early when everyone
thought he was at the prime of his career.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
Because he didn't love football anymore. So it's awesome to
see him back in love of football. Could you see
him being the head coach at Stanford next year? Yeah,
I mean he's already pretty much?
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Is that.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Pretty much?
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Just that's what I felt that, Like he's he it's
so into it, he's so close that that's as close
as you can get to the action by being the
head coach.
Speaker 11 (33:06):
So he could take that stand up for job Dan,
don't you think it's the smartest way to do it?
Like he's a general manager. They're interviewing him on the sideline.
How many other general managers are getting interviewed in the
middle of the dow?
Speaker 3 (33:18):
I know, yea, the team isn't that good this year? Yeah?
Speaker 11 (33:23):
What they could potentially be really good over the next
couple of years. And then he just waltzes right in there,
puts the head coach hat on, and now he doesn't
have to take those losses on his record. He can have,
he can have a good team and go out there
and make it happen. I'm really happy for him.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Good to talk to you.
Speaker 11 (33:39):
Thank you, Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Thanksgiving, God bless.

I'll ask him what he thinks Lane Kiffin is going
to do.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
Supposed to get that answer. By the end of the week.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
It's Mississippi against Mississippi State, and you know that's one
of those where a coach doesn't want distractions leading up
to any big games, but then he's the distraction leading
up to the big game. Stat of the Day brought
to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of
the program. Let's go around the infield todd Best and
Worst of the Weekend.
Speaker 5 (34:34):
Best of the weekend.
Speaker 10 (34:35):
He did it.
Speaker 8 (34:35):
In a tough fifty one to forty seven lost to Utah.
But how about some left for Kansasity running back Joe
Jackson rush for nearly three hundred yards, found the end
zone in Salt Lake on three occasions as well. Little
love for Joe Jackson For my best worst, Syracuse a
lot of quick twenty one points before Notre Dame's offense
ever got on the field to pick six a block
punt for a touchdown. The injury plagued Arne squeeze in
South Bend seventy to seven.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Yikes, I tuned in. It was twenty one nothing go?
How did you score twenty one points?
Speaker 3 (35:02):
That was crazy? And all of a sudden, I go
and the offense hasn't been on the field yet. That
was crazy. Yes it was, Yes, it was.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
I felt terrible for Syracuse there.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
Yeah, my goodness. The Seaton best and worst of the weekend.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
My best of the weekend is going to be a
tie between the Chiefs and the Cowboys. Both of their
seasons sort of reborn, both of them kind of saved
their Chiefs really needed that win. My worst of the
weekend is going to be Shane Steike and.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
Man, you have the Chiefs on the ropes.
Speaker 4 (35:30):
You have Patrick Mahomes down, and you you found a
way to blue that I don't know if Jonathan Taylor
got enough carries and overtime, I don't know if you
punt on fourth and four.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
There.
Speaker 4 (35:38):
There was just a lot of questionable decisions that were
made that maybe we'll continue as a storyline throughout the
rest of the season.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
Felt like the Colts did a disservice to every other
team in the NFL, all the contenders. Yes, because that's
where everybuddy goes, Hey, Colts are leading twenty to nine.
Speaker 4 (35:56):
This is I would bet now, like the rest of
my pay for the year that the Chiefs win the
Super Bowl. Now, just based off of that game where
it's like, oh, this is where their season turns around.
This is why they won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 12 (36:07):
This game stinks, Marvin, best and worst of the weekend,
Your boy, my boy, diego Pavilla from Vanderbilt thirty three
to thirty nine, four and eighty four yards, five touchdowns.
Speaker 9 (36:17):
Dude's been on a roll. Worse of the weekend. Fritzy
took mine, so I'm gonna go my second worst. The
Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Baker Mayfield, three weeks ago was an
MVP candidate. They've lost three straight and he got hurt.
Speaker 6 (36:29):
PAULI Best and worst Pitt Panthers is forty two to
twenty eight over Georgia Tech freshman running back Jackiri and
Turner twenty one carries two hundred and one yards to
lead the Pitt Panthers and another running back BYU running
back L. J. Martin thirty two carries to twenty two
and two touchdowns BYU is now ten and one.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
Hottest Rookie's biggest superstars, the Old time Greats. The only
place to collect them all. Pantini Trading Cards, the official
trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show, Rare Inserge autograph cards,
memorabilia cards, Instant Classics, Benini America, net Zach and Knoxville.
Speaker 10 (37:01):
Hey Zach, adp thanks for taking my call. The best
of the weekend was at one o'clock Slate, just all
the endings and the witching hour, as Todd Hansen likes
to say. But the worst of the weekend was jaw
Moran almost going full Jah Morant.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
There was no gun involved.
Speaker 10 (37:22):
But I love that he calls a multiple time champion
in one of the greatest shooters in the NBA at
bum and I would just say, make it to the finals,
or maybe just make it through a season without posting
a gun on Instagram live before you want to take
shots at someone like Klay Thompson.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Yeah, I was embarrassed for Jah Morant. He's not even playing.
You're in street clothes. You should shut up. How about play?
And then you're gonna call Klay Thompson a bum. There
have been very few professional athletes who were more professional
(38:00):
on and off the court than Clay. Steve Kerr would
tell you that he wasn't high maintenance, he wasn't low maintenance.
Speaker 3 (38:06):
He was no maintenance.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
He accepted his role, he played it great. He's a
Hall of Famer. And I got some kid on the
sidelines in street clothes who can't stay healthy and stay
out of trouble hauling Klay Thompson a bum. Michael and Ohio,
Hi Mike, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 13 (38:23):
Gentlemen? Six to two, Slim one seventy five, Best of
the Weekend. Hold on to your horses because this is
going to be really weird. Listen to Fritzy talk about
his trip in Vegas and the highlight being these amazing
curtains and eating his snacks and drinking his drinking dues
and just people watching. I think I found my spirit
animal because honestly, that really resonated with me and I'm
(38:45):
a little scared. So thank you, Fritzy. That's my best
and worst a teacher at you and Awaiton Liman and
our women's soccer team got invited to the NAIA National
Attorney but we lost in the first round, so that
was the worst. But hey, gentlemen, if you give me
your sizes, I can send you some un oh swag
go racers.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
Absolutely send a large and extra large there. Thank you, Michael.
And I will say the curtains at the Fountain Blue
are pretty spectacular. Like you press a button and they
open up and even if you just pull on the
curtain a little bit, it'll close. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
you don't have to hit the button. I mean it's
in fairness to Todd. Now, I wouldn't spend my whole
(39:28):
you know week there, I'd walk around, maybe go outside
for a moment. Yeah, but you you were playing with
the curtain. You were fascinated with the curtains.
Speaker 8 (39:37):
You could put all the lights on gim them, shut
them off, and then the curtains open and there's the
sphere in the whole strip.
Speaker 5 (39:42):
It's like, that's a big deal to me.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
By the way, we spend a lot of time with
Frank Caliendo when we were out there, and he did
a James in Virginia impersonation at one point, segue James
and Virginia joining us, Hey James.
Speaker 14 (40:01):
They called me completely off guard, DP. My call, man,
that that is the humbling to say the least.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
Man.
Speaker 14 (40:09):
I would love to hear that, man. I tell you what, Man,
the interview you did with Prawley Cowarly, the gentleman of
the f one, he had me rolling. Man, his energy
was through the roof. I love that room. Excuse me,
you really called me off guard with Frank Caliendo. That
guy's the man. I definitely am calling about college football
(40:33):
and NFL real quick, DP, Man, I don't know if
Alabama is going to make the college football playoffs. Eight
of the top eleven teams are undefeated or have one loss.
Now the caveat is a couple of them will play
each other in cover championships. But I don't think the
team should get deemed for losing the conference title games,
(40:54):
but I don't make those fonts, but definitely that loss
to Florida State earlier in the year and woming large
for Alabama. And in the NFL, you have ten teams
in both conferences fighting for seven playoff spots. I don't
know if ten and seven gets you in in either conference.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
Man Well, running out of time, James Final Hour on
this Monday More calls Best and Worst of the weekend.
Rick new Heiser will join us. We'll talk to him
about that Notre Dame Miami conundrum for the committee, and
we'll talk about Lane Kiffin's future that's coming up.
