Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Final Hour on this Meet Friday, Dan and the Dan
Nets Dan Patrick Show. And in case you're wondering, and
I know you are, because it is a Meet Friday,
we got chicken and sausage gumbo. That's chicken in sausage gumbo,
seafood gumbo and cornbread. Who has it better than we do?
(00:27):
Nor a Sunday night Matthew Stafford in the Rams against
Caleb Williams and the Bears. It'll be on NBC and
Peacock and they start their festivities at six Eastern. Chris
Sim's on loan from Football Night in America. Will stop
buying about twenty minutes from now. We had best of
(00:48):
the week and now we have worst of the week.
Now that's new because normally it's best of the week
and the most must win game of the weekend. I
say good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, thank you,
or you're listening on our radio affiliates around the country
got a full slate on Saturday and Sunday. The weather
has been a topic of conversation with the Bears in
(01:11):
the Rams. Here is Sean McVay, the Rams head coach
on playing in the cold.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
You know how the actual just cold in general in
terms of how the ball feels. But last year was
a great example of you know, we had two really
cold games. But fortunately, you know, Matthew's played in these
conditions and so doesn't change. There's a couple of things
you have to be mindful of. But now you start
talking about wind rain and how that really affects your
footing stuff like that. But we always kind of adjust
(01:37):
and adapt to you know, they got to be able
to play in those same sort of elements. They obviously
have had a little bit more experience, but we're not
going to allow that to be an excuse. And so
I think you do have to have a feel. But
I think the way that our guys play, I think
it suits us well in any sort of conditions. And
that's kind of what we've always said.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Yeah, I don't know if it's a big advantage or
a big disadvantage, although I will say when the Dolphins
went to Kansas City for a playoff game, that felt
like it was a huge advantage for the Chiefs, and
some of the Dolphins two years ago talked about that's
as cold as they've ever played in and it is
one of the coldest games on record in NFL playoff history.
(02:13):
There's just a difference because you can get acclimated to
cold weather. We live in the East. When I go
to Maine and I'm outside and it's seven degrees, then
all of a sudden, it goes to nine degrees and
I go, ah, all right, feels okay. You just get
used to that. Now I'm not playing football, You're just
(02:34):
walking around. But you know, it's all relative when you
talk about the weather. I'll go to South Florida and
I'll go how do you put up with this? Or
I'll go to Arizona. How do you put up with this? Well,
they do because they're just acclimated to it. But playing
in a game like altitude, why is it? Altitude matters
(02:55):
more when you're playing a basketball game? But we rarely
talk about altitude when we play a foot ball game.
Basketball'd be like, man, you got to get ready to
go play in Denver against the Nuggets. Shouldn't altitude matter
in a football game as well? But it always mattered
with baseball. Are a basketball I know it matters in
(03:16):
baseball with you know, the ball carrying, but you know,
you got the Broncos and the Bills, and that game's
been back and forth, one and a half this way,
one and a half that way. You got the Niners
who were seven point underdogs, but you know they're banking
on all of these games being pretty tight, all right,
eight seven, seven to three, DP show email address DP
at Danpatrick dot com, Twitter handle at DP show Seattle
(03:39):
at home seven point favorite. It was seven and a
half and we found out that Sam Darnell has an
oblique injury, and he spoke about that, and.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Routes on air just kind of felt a little little
something oblique.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Just didn't want to push it. You know, it wasn't
the day to push it, so that was it.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
So I just came in, said I got some rehab
and you know, feel like I'll be ready to.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Go for Saturday.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
So it's no big deal, but it felt like it
was a big deal yesterday when Chefty breathlessly telling us
about his oblique, Okay, seems like that could be a problem.
And then I think he was like fifty to fifty
V was going to play which and then Drew Locke
took some snaps, so it sounded like it could be
(04:27):
a possibility there. I don't know, all right. The worst
week in sports Marvin, would you give your worst week
in sports again? The Los Angeles Lakers, okay, because they
don't play defense, Todd Worst week in sports.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
The PGA Tour letting Brooks Koepka come back after he
left to grab a whole bunch load of cash from
the live tour and now he wants back in. I
think the PGA Tour says to tell all live golfers
stay where you are, we don't want you back.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Well, there's only a couple of golfers that are invited
back if they want to, not all the the other
ones are welcome back, John Rahm and Bryson de Shambeau
and Cameron Smith. That's it. Now you're the PGA Tour
and brooks Koepka wants to come back. Does it feel
like a pr win for the PGA Tour that he
wants to come back.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
I could see that line of thinking, I'm just greater
picture that they ran to, you know, whatever issues they
have with the PGA Tour to get hundreds of millions
of dollars or whatever, and now they realize that they
are much better off coming back crolling on their.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
Hands and knees. Let me back in because I'm with
the tour that no one cares.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
About figuratively coming back on their hands knees. Well, I
would think it would be a win for the PGA
Tour because you're taking somebody away from the live tour,
who is known, who has what for majors, and he
comes back to your tour. Now, there are some players
I don't know if they put their name to this,
but it was like I would have gone for a
(05:52):
hundred million if I knew that I could come back
in three years. You know, I pay a penalty and
all right, I'm still making a hundred million, if not more.
I don't think Deshambo's coming back. I don't think Ram
is coming back. I don't think Dustin. Nobody talks about
Dustin Johnson anymore. If they do, it's because of you know, Paulina,
(06:14):
But you know he's a non factor. Cameron Smith. I
loved watching him play. I thought he was unbelievable putter.
But you know what he did a lifestyle. You know,
these guys said, hey, we don't want to play in
as many events. Now they're traveling all over the world.
But they're getting, you know, one hundred million, two hundred million,
three hundred million. I understand that. Do I think the
(06:35):
Live Tour will live much longer? I don't. I mean,
they have the money to be able to put into it.
There's just not an interest there. I think they're waiting
so much so that they got rid of the Hey,
you can wear shorts and we have team nicknames, and
we got music, and you can smoke cigars and you
can nobody cares. We still come back to I want
(07:00):
to see great golf. I want to see great golf
in events that I know, in places that I know,
like watching the Sony Open last night. You know, you
got this landmark golf course and you got these golfers there.
You know, granted there is no Tiger, there is no Jack,
there's no Phil. I mean there's still that's the issue.
(07:20):
You got to create some of these guys, and it's
hard to differentiate between that guy and that guy and
that guy. Hey, he shot a sixty six, okay, next
day shoots a seventy eight, like okay. But I think
Live Tour is not interesting unless you love to Shamba
(07:41):
or Phil John Rahm. Other than that, you know, I
do like the graphics. I'll watch the TV presentation of it,
and I do like that. There's some fun things on there.
But as far as the golf goes, it doesn't really matter.
They already got their money and you're out there playing
(08:03):
and having fun. Okay, Oh sorry, I'm not included in
that fan base.
Speaker 7 (08:10):
Yeah, Paul, Dustin Johnson, he's really not coming back to
the PGA Tour. Yesterday he signed an extension with the
Live Tour.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Yeah, but nobody care.
Speaker 7 (08:17):
He was first guy to jump.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Yeah, yeah, I mean he's a non factor. I don't
even know if he's playing well over there. I mean
I watched, but I don't know. Worst week in sports, Paulie,
Were you the last one?
Speaker 8 (08:33):
I think? So, I'm gonna go.
Speaker 7 (08:36):
Nick Sirianni, the Eagles head coach, by losing to the
forty nine ers, depleted forty nine ers, you really burned
your Super Bowl Hall pass. It's burned, it's gone. You
got no wiggle room going forward.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Howie Roseman, the general manager for the Eagles, was asked
if he was gonna trade AJ Brown.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
If it makes sense orre you open to trading him or.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Is that just non starter?
Speaker 9 (08:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (08:57):
We talked about this, I think in the trade done
on last time I talked. It is hard to find
great players in the NFL, and AJ is a great player.
I think from my perspective, that's what we're going out
and looking for when we go out here in free
agency in the draft is trying to find great players
who love football, and he's that that guy. So I
think that would be my answer.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Howie, just to follow up, are you open to trading
a J. Brown? That was the question. I mean, it's
hard to find good play. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
What makes it easier is UH trading players for more
to find those.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Good like that. I'm sorry you answered the question.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
Please And do you like when he attacks downhill? I
know you're not the head coach, but I thought you
could speak to that.
Speaker 11 (09:43):
What do you know about.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Seaton?
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Do you have the worst week in sports? I do,
as a matter of fact, sports all right. Ronnie O'Sullivan
withdraws from Masters snooker. This is a huge story. Eight
time Masters champion with drew from the twenty twenty six
Masters on medical grounds for.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
The second year in a row.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Ronnie O'Sullivan arguably the most famous snooker player in history.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
This is the second year in a row.
Speaker 11 (10:11):
He won't be at the Master's rodioh.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Yeah, that's a major blow to UH fans. Yeah, and
the sports visibility really Ronnie, Oh no, Ronnie, the two
years in a row. What a crusher? Yeah, Master snooker.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Yeah, I didn't know. I checked the uh the paper
on injuries, I didn't know, and I didn't see him
listed there for snooker. Just broke today as a matter
of oh, okay, how.
Speaker 7 (10:34):
Does one injure themselves playing snooker? Back injury? Maybe the
lean over?
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Yeah, maybe he got injured, well, not playing snooker. You know,
you lift a pint, you know, after a while, maybe
a pint fell on his toe. Yes, Tom is the
snooker headquarters.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
On the Jersey shore.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
That's just wondering where that snook snooky? Uh you know
what I would say.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
With that, minus deepot with yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
You yeah, you did a snooky Jersey Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:06):
How old news that show?
Speaker 12 (11:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (11:07):
Dated myself yet again.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Yeah, uh you have your rime time coming up a
little later on if you can still doing it. No,
I was, I was not going to, but I will.
I will. Uh Briala in Maryland.
Speaker 13 (11:24):
Hi, Dan, this is Brilla, longtime watcher, first time caller
five five one fifteen. So I have a comment about
the Live Tour and what you were just commenting on.
I think it is very hypocritical of the PGA Tour
and the players and the fact that they do not
(11:46):
acknowledge that if the Live Tour had never come into existence,
they would never ever be making the big dollar moneys.
These twenty million dollar tournaments are all because they were
threatened by the Live Tour. Prior to that, they were
unwilling to negotiate, They were unwilling to change. They said
they did not have the money. Next thing you know,
(12:07):
Live comes along, the big money comes along, and suddenly
money is flooding into these tournaments.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Players like Worry.
Speaker 13 (12:14):
McElroy and all those outspooking players are making millions more
and it's all strictly because of the Live Tour.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Yeah, but that doesn't mean that the Live Tour is watchable.
I agree with you, Briolla that the PGA Tour knew
they had to opt the ante. I agree absolutely these
guys on tour did benefit. Rory could have made a
billion dollars. He could have gone to the Live Tour
made a billion dollars. Tiger could have gone. They were
going to pay him a billion dollars. But that doesn't
(12:44):
mean the Live Tour is watchable like tune in to
you know, watch all four days? Are they up to
four days now? They are moving to that. Yeah, well
that's a big move, you know, going from three days
to four days.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Union's going to complain, Yes, I know how realistic it
is though for people to expect the current players in
the PGA Tour to thank the Live Tour for today.
Thank you for trying to put us out of business,
because now we have more money. I appreciate you guys
that's leaving here to try and shut us down and
put us out of business.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Thank you so much. That was great because that was
Greg Norman's goal.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
I don't know how if that's what you're expecting, I think,
you know, don't hold your breath.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Yeah, Greg Norman wanted to put the PGA Tour out
of business.
Speaker 14 (13:29):
He did.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
He's been trying to do that for decades. Sounds like
Phil Nicholson's all in on doing that as well. I
just want to thank you for burning my house down.
Look at this new one I have.
Speaker 11 (13:38):
Now, that's awesome, right, not really.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Yeah, but yeah they did raise the prize money. But
in the process they were raising the prize money, they didn't.
That wasn't wasn't their goal on the Live Tour to go,
you know what, We're gonna raise the prize money for
you guys. You're gonna thank us. Now, these guys left
knowing that discould image the PGA Tour, and it has
(14:02):
to a certain degree because I'd love to see Deshambo's
the one guy now him and Rory are the you know,
there's very few guys where he goes that guy play
like Rory's playing in Dubai this week the DP World Tour.
All right, I'm gonna watch it to Shambo. To me,
mussy TV Rom is just a good you know, he's
(14:24):
a really good golfer, but he's not mussy TV. Jordan
Speeth is more mussy TV because you never know what
you're getting with him. It's like, wait a minute, what
fair way is he on?
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Mate?
Speaker 2 (14:36):
How did he get over there? And somehow I end
up with a birdie? But you know, the very few
golfers that will kind of, you know, push that needle,
and Deshambo is one of those guys. It's fun to watch,
all right, we'll take a break. We will ask the
question who has the most pressure on them? Coming up
these games this week, and Chris Sims will join us
(14:58):
on loan from Football Night America. More of your phone
calls as well. Todd has a rhyme time. We're back
after this.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
He's Christophe Simms, Pro Football Talk Live co host and
you'll find him on Football Night in America. They got
the Bears and the Rams. Festivities started six Eastern on
NBC and Peacon. Good to see you again. Give me
the team or the player with the most pressure this weekend?
Speaker 14 (16:05):
Oh well, I think you know, team wise, that's a
good but player I still think we're probably on the
Josh Allen conversation just because of of course, yeah, I
know Burrow not being in there, Lamar Patrick Mahomes. Everybody
thinks that. As I've told you before, and we discussed
I think the last time on we're looking at the
(16:26):
modern day John Elway. He's one of the greatest quarterbacks
we've ever seen play the sport. He's yet to get
to a Super Bowl. I think he feels that pressure.
I think you could see that on his face last weekend, right,
So that would be one, right. The other guy I
would say is c J. Stroud. I mean c J
Stroud last week? How could there not be pressure? Everybody's
gonna be looking at him. That's the Houston Texans defense
(16:47):
is like the twenty thirteen Seahawks or the twenty fifteen
Broncos or the two thousand Ravens. They're the best unit
left in this playoffs. And the way that he played,
I mean I was yelling at the screen going just
kneel on the ball and steel on it and you'll
win fourteen to three. Just don't do anything again, right,
So we're gonna be watching him for sure. And you know,
I think after that, the team I probably look out
(17:11):
to have the most pressure would be the Denver Broncos. Honestly,
Denver just being at home expectations, ooh, the first big
time home playoff game, and we're a number one seed
in the Sean Payton era and bo Nicks's first home
playoff game, so this is unchartered territories for them. I
would think that would be the team i'd probably pick
under the most pressure.
Speaker 12 (17:31):
No Sam Darnold on the list. Huh, well, there's that
for sure. Yes, everybody. I felt like that was almost
too obvious. We know Sam Donald, He's going to be
the guy we look at. I'm a big believer in
the Seattle Seahawks. I will be shocked if they lose
the football game on Saturday night. I think they are
in another class from the San Francisco forty nine ers.
Their roster, their defense is just a tick below the
(17:54):
Houston Pexans. I think they're a team on the rise.
I hope he's healthy but yeah, we'll be watching him.
That's an obvious one. Give me the game that could
be a blowout of all the four games.
Speaker 14 (18:05):
You know what, if you had to make me choose
one game that I think it could be a blowout,
I think it would be the Seattle Seahawks forty nine
er football game. That would be the one. You know,
I'm amazed that the forty nine ers are there. You know,
I'm friends with Shanahan, and I just think this is
what maybe his greatest coaching job ever. When you just
talk about everything that's happened, the injuries, right, all of that.
The defense, they're just decimated. They got destroyed in that
(18:28):
Week eighteen matchup. I mean, I don't need to say much.
You saw Shanahan at halftime. He was like, I'm just
glad we're down by ten points, right because I think
he was like we should be down twenty twenty four.
So I do look at that and go, do I
think Seattle can slow down the Shanahan offense. Yes, of
course I do. And Seattle was so close on offense
the kind of blowing them out of the water in
(18:49):
Week eighteen. I think that if there's one that'll be
the game.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Help us understand what Kyle Shanahan does for his quarterback
in the huddle and then well they cut that off
with what fifteen seconds to go? But sure, what exactly
is he saying to Brock Purdy and you know, as
he gets ready to call the player go to the
line of scrimmage.
Speaker 14 (19:10):
I don't think he says much to him, and that
from my understanding, right, I think they've already been wired
as a robat during the week to kind of know, hey,
when I call this you he makes it simple for
them when I call this.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Oh, so it's not in game as much as it
is prior to that leading guyer too.
Speaker 14 (19:25):
Right, he's already come into the game plan. Go and listen,
I'm gonna call this play with this play in the
huddle too. So you got to figure out and just
look at this guy. If he goes this way, check
to the other play. If he goes to this way,
you know, stay with the play we got called. But
he's an ultimate what I always kind of the phrase
I use as code cracker, Right, Shanahan is rare and
rare in the history of NFL football. And I would
(19:48):
say Bill Belichick could do this the other way. Around.
Shanahan's dad could probably do it as well. He could
be a defensive coordinator. He understands the defensive rules every
bit as much as any defensive coach in the sport,
and that's what he does. So when he gets in film,
get into film during the week and starts to go, Okay,
what do they do when I play this formation in
that formation? He tries to find something to go, all right,
(20:11):
all right, all right, I know they're going to kind
of be in this one defense or maybe this other defense,
and now I'm going to devise a few plays off
of it that are if I can get him in
this one defense, it's going to challenge some rules of
some of the guys in this coverage, right, And as
long as he can figure out, okay, you're going to
be in this, he now can kind of teach his
receivers and maybe a play action pass to go, wait,
(20:34):
this guy's got this rule, and if we do this
to him, it kind of blows up his rules and
now he's in trouble and they can't stop it. So
I know that's a long way to say that it's
a deep conversation, but I hope that answered the question
pretty well.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Weather is perhaps going to play a role in the
Bears game. Right, who is affected aside from the quarterback? Yeah,
who's going to be affected the most with this weather?
Speaker 14 (20:59):
Well, I think it's you know, the ones I go
to after that are running backs, right, running backs, I
think just because it is so pulled the contact, the
ball does become slick. So anybody carrying the football, I
think is the next guy you look at. We know,
you know, playing in the cold, it's a different ballgame,
and when you get hit it hurts a little bit
more and everything's a little older and drier and slicker
(21:22):
and all that. But you know, I think that's what
you look at after that. You know, it depends if
the field gets frozen, then you can start to look
at DB's and receivers and can they keep their feet.
But as far as the quarterbacks, like you mentioned, I'm
not worried about either one of those quarterbacks. I mean
they are they can throw the ball through anything, right
those are These are two of the greatest arms in
the sport, right up there with Josh Allen in that
(21:44):
category right where you know, they can throw spirals, they
can cut it right through the wind and still throw
it make power throws, and I don't think it will
be affected too much.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
On Sunday night, Sam Darnold with an oblique injury, explain
to us how that would affect him.
Speaker 14 (21:59):
Yeah, that's it. I've had it. It's an annoying injury
for a quarterback.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Think about it.
Speaker 14 (22:03):
When you're throwing a lot of like, right, your golf swing,
anything like that baseball swing. You're swinging, and you're trying
to create that cork between the lower and upper half
of your body, right, And that's what great throwers do.
You see Josh Allen, he's like this sometimes and then
he lets it go. Well, that muscle there, your oblique
is what's letting you rope paid out of it. And
when your arm is disconnected as well and you have
(22:25):
a longer lever, it really can pull on there. And
I'm telling you it's something that I had before and
it bothered me for weeks. And the first week had happened,
I mean I couldn't throw a football for the first
seven or ten days I had it. Hmm, Okay, yeah,
So I'm going to be interested to see what he's
got there. Right, you know, the guy at LSU nuss Meyer,
he had it this year and it really affected his play.
(22:45):
That is not an easy injury to deal with. And
I'll certainly be looking at Sam Donald early in that
football game to see where he's out with that.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Dante Moore going back to Oregon, Yeah, Boomer Siasin said
that the Jets benefited because they probably would have taken
Dante Moore and Dante Moore is not ready to play,
which is an interesting perspective on that. But who benefited
the most of Dante Moore going back to Oregon Dante
(23:15):
Moore or Ty Simpson of Alabama?
Speaker 14 (23:17):
Oh well, I think ty Simpson here just in, you know,
as far as right now, because now he's automatically. I
think Hugh Bet too. I haven't studied Trinidad Chambliss yet.
I know he's damn good and he's exciting. But I
think the NFL is little hesitant on the smaller quarterback
between Kyler Tua Rightce Young right. So that's something that
(23:38):
I'm interested to dive into. But I think Ty Simpson,
and I'll say this, Dan, I agree with Dante Moore.
I think that was the right decision. He's got the
talent to be the number one pick in the draft.
He has all that, but you know, I'd like to
see him let his body mature a little bit more.
I think he can become a little bit of a
better leader and show some better, you know, body language
during the game as well. His talent jumps off the screen.
(24:02):
But yeah, playing those reps, you know how important that is.
I'm glad he's going back.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
You're a New York Giants family. What did the family
think of John Harbaugh Dodgy Man?
Speaker 14 (24:12):
I mean, we loved it. This is something I've been
banging the table really since the end of November. I
knew in the summer that Harbaugh and this could happen.
I had set it on my podcast with Florio all that.
It was very aware that this was a possibility with
Harball and the Ravens knowing some people in the situation.
So I was not surprised that happened when it did happen.
And I've been kind of since the end of November,
(24:35):
like man, Tomlin or Harball. We want Tomlin or Harbaugh.
Of course it's Harbaugh. I think he fits the Giant way,
I really do, right tough. He has a little bit
of a demeanor like a Bill Parcell's a Tom Kofflin.
He's going to know how to talk to the media.
And I think his core beliefs are poor giant beliefs
I said yesterday, Like when I was growing up or
(24:56):
even playing in the NFL, the one thing about the
Giants was always, oh my gosh, look at the Giants
walk on the field. Holy cow, how big are they? Right?
They were always the look team. Well, they got a
huge tight end, huge tackles, big defensive tackles, pass rushers,
all of that. They've gotten away from that hardball as
we know in Baltimore. They've made it a yearly acquisition
(25:18):
of pillaging the biggest, baddest mofos on the planet to
get on their football team. And that's the Giant way.
So I'm excited about that too. And the Giants got
a good nucleus that's young that he can grow and
really build something here in New York.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
He's Chris Sims Pro Football Talk Live co host his
podcast Unbuttoned, and you can see him on Football Night
in America. It'll be the Bears in the Rams on Sunday.
They started six Eastern. How much have you watched the
Fernando Mendoza, Oh a lot I have.
Speaker 14 (25:44):
I mean, you know, being a Big ten team doing
NBC Big Ten College Saturdays, right and all that I
saw him. I'm very impressed with Fernando Mendoza, I really am.
I mean, his throwing is he's a machine throwing the
football when you talk about power, accuracy, right, all the
different types of throws. He's a better athlete that he
gets credit for, right. So all of that. Yeah, really impressed.
(26:06):
Am I blown out away with him? Like I've been
other guys. I'm not gonna lie to you and say yes, No.
I mean, you know, is he like Josh Allen or
Lamar Jackson or Patrick Mahomes when I saw them coming out,
or even CJ. Stroud, who I really thought was special
coming out as well. I don't know if I feel
that way about him, but he's certainly worthy of being
the number one pick and the first quarterback off the board.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Yeah. As a source said to me, there's nothing he
does great, but there's nothing that he does wrong that
he he just he knows what he's doing. He does
he does that to play. I don't know if that's
the best description for the number one overall pick, but
we always look for flaws. You know that guy's throwing
motion or he got away with you know, some bad
(26:48):
habits in college. He doesn't anticipate he does you know,
line of scrimmage process, all of those things. It feels
like he has all of those things exactly. But I said,
would you take would you sign up if I said
he's going to be Joe Flacco?
Speaker 14 (27:04):
I would sign up for that. Of course, Yes, I
think Joe Flacco is one of the underrated quarterbacks of
all time, right, haven't seen that in person? And how
big he is and how he throws the football. And
then of course again I think like Mendoza, sneaky, underrated
athleticism to move in the pockets, scramble when something was there. Yeah,
I've signed up for Joe Flacco right now if i'
(27:25):
are on an NFL football team.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
But I know what you're saying.
Speaker 14 (27:28):
Right, he is a slam dunk right machine throwing the football.
But am I wowed buy him? Sometimes? Am I wowed?
Buy his backyard ability to do stuff like that that
we know is so important in the NFL? Now, No,
I'm not, But NFL coaches are going to like him
for all the reasons you explained, Dan. He knows how
to read coverage, he knows how to make the appropriate,
appropriate throws, he knows how to anticipate, he can play
(27:49):
in the pocket and do all that. And especially a
coach that knows, hey, we got a good offensive coordinator
and a good system, and we need a guy that
can run this system. Right, that's where he's really going
to you know, benefit and they're gonna like them a lot.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
What's the next best opening in the NFL?
Speaker 14 (28:05):
Oh well, I think the Atlanta won Atlanta or Tennessee
after the or and then the Ravens. Of course, I
mean the Ravens. You know, it's it's one of the
greatest quarterbacks of all time. So you got that right there,
and of course a lot of pieces. So I look
at that and go, that's one of them. The Falcons
are definitely one of them, right with that offensive line.
You know, they got Drake London, they got some young
(28:26):
defensive talent. And then the Tennessee Titans are the other
one I look at because they do have an offensive line,
they got one of the best defensive tackles in football,
and you got the quarterback.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
To me, those are the top ones available right now. Yeah,
but you got to give me at least three years
in Tennessee probably, but you know, you know how it is.
Speaker 14 (28:44):
You know, you probably would have said maybe the Patriots
need two years or the Bears need two years, right,
so you get the right coach in there, with that
new coach bump of energy and then also having a
new way of how they're coaching and playing, a team's going, Wait,
I don't you know, we got to we need a
year to figure wrap the schematics of what this guy does.
And then they got money to spend on top of that,
(29:05):
and could really I think they're gonna have the most
money out of anybody in salary cap in this offseason.
You know, they could certainly turn it around to whether
at least they're a pain in the butt in the
AFC next year. Have a great weekend as always, thanks
for joining us. Chris, Hey always man, you the man
sell those jerks.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
I said, Hi, all right, hey jerks, he says, Hi,
Chris Sims Pro Football Talk Live co host and he'll

Speaker 2 (30:17):
All right, thank you, grandpa, Thank you appreciate that. Yes, Marvin,
I thought he was going to say something like really original. Yeah, like,
oh my gosh, you're called grandpa even pop pop.
Speaker 7 (30:29):
Isn't that original? Yes, Paul, my kids like to call
me grandfather. Oh wow, is that a family name?
Speaker 2 (30:36):
So how'd you come up with that? Yeah? My kids
call me dad? You know what? Yeah, here's the thought. Yeah,
they called me dad, well dad or father? Yeah, to
my face they called me dad. Yes, Paul.
Speaker 7 (30:49):
Do you ever see kids call their parents by their
first names in public? Yes, that's a that's kind of
freak kid it. I'm talking kids, kids under fifteen, not
like college kids.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Yeah, yeah, I've been around it. Not a fan, Yeah,
I've seen it. Alison in La Hi, Alison, what's on

Los Angeles, I know, but it's like, yeah, like pretty iconic. No,
it sounds great. I just was like, all right, okay,
go ahead with your run.
Speaker 14 (31:46):
Now.
Speaker 15 (31:46):
This is how I sound constantly. People can like literally
recognize my voice from like years ago and are like,
are you that girl I met? I'm like, I'm that girl?
Speaker 14 (31:56):
All right?
Speaker 2 (31:56):
What do you have for me? With rhyme time?
Speaker 15 (31:59):
Okay? Perfect? So halftime show fritzy bad bunny not funny?
Speaker 4 (32:07):
Oh wow, damn dang. Allison called up and gave the
clue and the answer, and it was all a shot
at Todd.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
And I was just gonna say, like thirty seconds ago
how much I loved her voice, which I still do.
Speaker 6 (32:22):
But I thought we were going to that's the rhyme.
That's the whole idea with the right time.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Yeah, Allison beat us to the punchline. Thank you Allison.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
Yes see, Allison isn't one of the sisters that Todd
met that time?
Speaker 12 (32:34):
Well?
Speaker 11 (32:35):
Why why are you on her shirt?
Speaker 6 (32:37):
Why do you talk about football?
Speaker 2 (32:39):
I know Allison's voice is better than that. Oh yeah, yeah,
that girl did not understand why her sister had your
face on her shirt.
Speaker 6 (32:48):
So weird? Three hours talking sports?
Speaker 2 (32:51):
No oh, Todd. Todd saw somebody who was willing to
listen to him him for a couple of hours, and
you sat there and chatted her up. But her sister
just couldn't. She had all these snide comments. You know,
(33:12):
while you're talking to her sister.
Speaker 6 (33:14):
Why are all these people hanging out with you? Am
I supposed to know you?

Speaker 16 (34:04):
I was wondering how everybody's you know, crediting Indiana's run
to the age of their starting lineup with the Diego
Pavia lawsuit. And I think I read somewhether trying to
get it to where you have to play eight games
for not to be able to qualify as a red shirt.
Are these days of you know, everybody having a twenty
three year old senior or twenty six year old Tyler Shuck.
(34:25):
Are these days here at State?
Speaker 2 (34:27):
I don't think so. I think you had the COVID year.
You know, you get a red shirt in there. Basketball,
a lot of there's a lot of high school players
they take a gap year. You start to see that
a little bit more in sports where or they'll go
to a boarding school and then get ready to go
into college. But look at march madness. I mean there

Speaker 7 (38:37):
Nineteen eighty eight. It always happens. A Saint Louis Cardinals
football announced they're moving to Phoenix. Nineteen ninety three, Jordan
scored sixty four against the Magic, his second best game
of his career, scoring wise. Malcolm Glazer in ninety five
bought the Tampa Bay Bucks were only one hundred and
ninety two million in two the sale of the Red
Sox for six hundred and sixty million.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
H Dallas Cowboy. They beat the Dolphins. They rush for
two hundred and fifty two yards. Roger Staubach passed for
one hundred nineteen yards two touchdowns. Name the most valuable player.
The lead story will be what on Monday?
Speaker 6 (39:12):
Todd Josh has to wait another year?
Speaker 11 (39:17):
Okay, Satan, I think the Bills bow out early, Bills.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
Bow out, Marvin Texans dominate.
Speaker 7 (39:26):
Okay, all that's gonna go Bills. I think I wanna
go Seahawks, Seawks winning.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Yeah, that won't lead. Not enough people nationally are interested in.
That doesn't mean that they're not going to Super Bowl.
I would say Buffalo. If Buffalo loses, if the Rams lose,
the Bears lose, they probably get a lot of attention.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
Todd.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Would you learn today?
Speaker 6 (39:53):
Chris Russo wants us to know super agent Scott Boris
is really the one who runs the Major League Baseball
Players Association.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Seaton, What did you learn?
Speaker 4 (39:59):
Go with Matt and marylynd here Fritzie was one hundred
percent willing to pay two ninety nine a minute to
keep talking to Allison from LA.
Speaker 6 (40:07):
What about it?
Speaker 1 (40:08):
Todd?
Speaker 2 (40:09):
What did what did I learn?
Speaker 5 (40:10):
Chris versus doesn't consider myke, Tom and John Harber all
the time. Great coach is worthy of making it into
the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Have a great weekend, everybody. We'll talk to you on Monday.
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Final Hour on this Meet Friday, Dan and the Dan
Nets Dan Patrick Show. And in case you're wondering, and
I know you are, because it is a Meet Friday,
we got chicken and sausage gumbo. That's chicken in sausage gumbo,
seafood gumbo and cornbread. Who has it better than we do?
(00:27):
Nor a Sunday night Matthew Stafford in the Rams against
Caleb Williams and the Bears. It'll be on NBC and
Peacock and they start their festivities at six Eastern. Chris
Sim's on loan from Football Night in America. Will stop
buying about twenty minutes from now. We had best of
(00:48):
the week and now we have worst of the week.
Now that's new because normally it's best of the week
and the most must win game of the weekend. I
say good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, thank you,
or you're listening on our radio affiliates around the country
got a full slate on Saturday and Sunday. The weather
has been a topic of conversation with the Bears in
(01:11):
the Rams. Here is Sean McVay, the Rams head coach
on playing in the cold.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
You know how the actual just cold in general in
terms of how the ball feels. But last year was
a great example of you know, we had two really
cold games. But fortunately, you know, Matthew's played in these
conditions and so doesn't change. There's a couple of things
you have to be mindful of. But now you start
talking about wind rain and how that really affects your
footing stuff like that. But we always kind of adjust
(01:37):
and adapt to you know, they got to be able
to play in those same sort of elements. They obviously
have had a little bit more experience, but we're not
going to allow that to be an excuse. And so
I think you do have to have a feel. But
I think the way that our guys play, I think
it suits us well in any sort of conditions. And
that's kind of what we've always said.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Yeah, I don't know if it's a big advantage or
a big disadvantage, although I will say when the Dolphins
went to Kansas City for a playoff game, that felt
like it was a huge advantage for the Chiefs, and
some of the Dolphins two years ago talked about that's
as cold as they've ever played in and it is
one of the coldest games on record in NFL playoff history.
(02:13):
There's just a difference because you can get acclimated to
cold weather. We live in the East. When I go
to Maine and I'm outside and it's seven degrees, then
all of a sudden, it goes to nine degrees and
I go, ah, all right, feels okay. You just get
used to that. Now I'm not playing football, You're just
(02:34):
walking around. But you know, it's all relative when you
talk about the weather. I'll go to South Florida and
I'll go how do you put up with this? Or
I'll go to Arizona. How do you put up with this? Well,
they do because they're just acclimated to it. But playing
in a game like altitude, why is it? Altitude matters
(02:55):
more when you're playing a basketball game? But we rarely
talk about altitude when we play a foot ball game.
Basketball'd be like, man, you got to get ready to
go play in Denver against the Nuggets. Shouldn't altitude matter
in a football game as well? But it always mattered
with baseball. Are a basketball I know it matters in
(03:16):
baseball with you know, the ball carrying, but you know,
you got the Broncos and the Bills, and that game's
been back and forth, one and a half this way,
one and a half that way. You got the Niners
who were seven point underdogs, but you know they're banking
on all of these games being pretty tight, all right,
eight seven, seven to three, DP show email address DP
at Danpatrick dot com, Twitter handle at DP show Seattle
(03:39):
at home seven point favorite. It was seven and a
half and we found out that Sam Darnell has an
oblique injury, and he spoke about that, and.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Routes on air just kind of felt a little little
something oblique.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Just didn't want to push it. You know, it wasn't
the day to push it, so that was it.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
So I just came in, said I got some rehab
and you know, feel like I'll be ready to.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Go for Saturday.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
So it's no big deal, but it felt like it
was a big deal yesterday when Chefty breathlessly telling us
about his oblique, Okay, seems like that could be a problem.
And then I think he was like fifty to fifty
V was going to play which and then Drew Locke
took some snaps, so it sounded like it could be
(04:27):
a possibility there. I don't know, all right. The worst
week in sports Marvin, would you give your worst week
in sports again? The Los Angeles Lakers, okay, because they
don't play defense, Todd Worst week in sports.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
The PGA Tour letting Brooks Koepka come back after he
left to grab a whole bunch load of cash from
the live tour and now he wants back in. I
think the PGA Tour says to tell all live golfers
stay where you are, we don't want you back.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Well, there's only a couple of golfers that are invited
back if they want to, not all the the other
ones are welcome back, John Rahm and Bryson de Shambeau
and Cameron Smith. That's it. Now you're the PGA Tour
and brooks Koepka wants to come back. Does it feel
like a pr win for the PGA Tour that he
wants to come back.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
I could see that line of thinking, I'm just greater
picture that they ran to, you know, whatever issues they
have with the PGA Tour to get hundreds of millions
of dollars or whatever, and now they realize that they
are much better off coming back crolling on their.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
Hands and knees. Let me back in because I'm with
the tour that no one cares.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
About figuratively coming back on their hands knees. Well, I
would think it would be a win for the PGA
Tour because you're taking somebody away from the live tour,
who is known, who has what for majors, and he
comes back to your tour. Now, there are some players
I don't know if they put their name to this,
but it was like I would have gone for a
(05:52):
hundred million if I knew that I could come back
in three years. You know, I pay a penalty and
all right, I'm still making a hundred million, if not more.
I don't think Deshambo's coming back. I don't think Ram
is coming back. I don't think Dustin. Nobody talks about
Dustin Johnson anymore. If they do, it's because of you know, Paulina,
(06:14):
But you know he's a non factor. Cameron Smith. I
loved watching him play. I thought he was unbelievable putter.
But you know what he did a lifestyle. You know,
these guys said, hey, we don't want to play in
as many events. Now they're traveling all over the world.
But they're getting, you know, one hundred million, two hundred million,
three hundred million. I understand that. Do I think the
(06:35):
Live Tour will live much longer? I don't. I mean,
they have the money to be able to put into it.
There's just not an interest there. I think they're waiting
so much so that they got rid of the Hey,
you can wear shorts and we have team nicknames, and
we got music, and you can smoke cigars and you
can nobody cares. We still come back to I want
(07:00):
to see great golf. I want to see great golf
in events that I know, in places that I know,
like watching the Sony Open last night. You know, you
got this landmark golf course and you got these golfers there.
You know, granted there is no Tiger, there is no Jack,
there's no Phil. I mean there's still that's the issue.
(07:20):
You got to create some of these guys, and it's
hard to differentiate between that guy and that guy and
that guy. Hey, he shot a sixty six, okay, next
day shoots a seventy eight, like okay. But I think
Live Tour is not interesting unless you love to Shamba
(07:41):
or Phil John Rahm. Other than that, you know, I
do like the graphics. I'll watch the TV presentation of it,
and I do like that. There's some fun things on there.
But as far as the golf goes, it doesn't really matter.
They already got their money and you're out there playing
(08:03):
and having fun. Okay, Oh sorry, I'm not included in
that fan base.
Speaker 7 (08:10):
Yeah, Paul, Dustin Johnson, he's really not coming back to
the PGA Tour. Yesterday he signed an extension with the
Live Tour.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Yeah, but nobody care.
Speaker 7 (08:17):
He was first guy to jump.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Yeah, yeah, I mean he's a non factor. I don't
even know if he's playing well over there. I mean
I watched, but I don't know. Worst week in sports, Paulie,
Were you the last one?
Speaker 8 (08:33):
I think? So, I'm gonna go.
Speaker 7 (08:36):
Nick Sirianni, the Eagles head coach, by losing to the
forty nine ers, depleted forty nine ers, you really burned
your Super Bowl Hall pass. It's burned, it's gone. You
got no wiggle room going forward.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Howie Roseman, the general manager for the Eagles, was asked
if he was gonna trade AJ Brown.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
If it makes sense orre you open to trading him or.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Is that just non starter?
Speaker 9 (08:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (08:57):
We talked about this, I think in the trade done
on last time I talked. It is hard to find
great players in the NFL, and AJ is a great player.
I think from my perspective, that's what we're going out
and looking for when we go out here in free
agency in the draft is trying to find great players
who love football, and he's that that guy. So I
think that would be my answer.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Howie, just to follow up, are you open to trading
a J. Brown? That was the question. I mean, it's
hard to find good play. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
What makes it easier is UH trading players for more
to find those.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Good like that. I'm sorry you answered the question.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
Please And do you like when he attacks downhill? I
know you're not the head coach, but I thought you
could speak to that.
Speaker 11 (09:43):
What do you know about.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Seaton?
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Do you have the worst week in sports? I do,
as a matter of fact, sports all right. Ronnie O'Sullivan
withdraws from Masters snooker. This is a huge story. Eight
time Masters champion with drew from the twenty twenty six
Masters on medical grounds for.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
The second year in a row.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Ronnie O'Sullivan arguably the most famous snooker player in history.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
This is the second year in a row.
Speaker 11 (10:11):
He won't be at the Master's rodioh.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Yeah, that's a major blow to UH fans. Yeah, and
the sports visibility really Ronnie, Oh no, Ronnie, the two
years in a row. What a crusher? Yeah, Master snooker.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Yeah, I didn't know. I checked the uh the paper
on injuries, I didn't know, and I didn't see him
listed there for snooker. Just broke today as a matter
of oh, okay, how.
Speaker 7 (10:34):
Does one injure themselves playing snooker? Back injury? Maybe the
lean over?
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Yeah, maybe he got injured, well, not playing snooker. You know,
you lift a pint, you know, after a while, maybe
a pint fell on his toe. Yes, Tom is the
snooker headquarters.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
On the Jersey shore.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
That's just wondering where that snook snooky? Uh you know
what I would say.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
With that, minus deepot with yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
You yeah, you did a snooky Jersey Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:06):
How old news that show?
Speaker 12 (11:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (11:07):
Dated myself yet again.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Yeah, uh you have your rime time coming up a
little later on if you can still doing it. No,
I was, I was not going to, but I will.
I will. Uh Briala in Maryland.
Speaker 13 (11:24):
Hi, Dan, this is Brilla, longtime watcher, first time caller
five five one fifteen. So I have a comment about
the Live Tour and what you were just commenting on.
I think it is very hypocritical of the PGA Tour
and the players and the fact that they do not
(11:46):
acknowledge that if the Live Tour had never come into existence,
they would never ever be making the big dollar moneys.
These twenty million dollar tournaments are all because they were
threatened by the Live Tour. Prior to that, they were
unwilling to negotiate, They were unwilling to change. They said
they did not have the money. Next thing you know,
(12:07):
Live comes along, the big money comes along, and suddenly
money is flooding into these tournaments.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Players like Worry.
Speaker 13 (12:14):
McElroy and all those outspooking players are making millions more
and it's all strictly because of the Live Tour.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Yeah, but that doesn't mean that the Live Tour is watchable.
I agree with you, Briolla that the PGA Tour knew
they had to opt the ante. I agree absolutely these
guys on tour did benefit. Rory could have made a
billion dollars. He could have gone to the Live Tour
made a billion dollars. Tiger could have gone. They were
going to pay him a billion dollars. But that doesn't
(12:44):
mean the Live Tour is watchable like tune in to
you know, watch all four days? Are they up to
four days now? They are moving to that. Yeah, well
that's a big move, you know, going from three days
to four days.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Union's going to complain, Yes, I know how realistic it
is though for people to expect the current players in
the PGA Tour to thank the Live Tour for today.
Thank you for trying to put us out of business,
because now we have more money. I appreciate you guys
that's leaving here to try and shut us down and
put us out of business.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Thank you so much. That was great because that was
Greg Norman's goal.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
I don't know how if that's what you're expecting, I think,
you know, don't hold your breath.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Yeah, Greg Norman wanted to put the PGA Tour out
of business.
Speaker 14 (13:29):
He did.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
He's been trying to do that for decades. Sounds like
Phil Nicholson's all in on doing that as well. I
just want to thank you for burning my house down.
Look at this new one I have.
Speaker 11 (13:38):
Now, that's awesome, right, not really.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Yeah, but yeah they did raise the prize money. But
in the process they were raising the prize money, they didn't.
That wasn't wasn't their goal on the Live Tour to go,
you know what, We're gonna raise the prize money for
you guys. You're gonna thank us. Now, these guys left
knowing that discould image the PGA Tour, and it has
(14:02):
to a certain degree because I'd love to see Deshambo's
the one guy now him and Rory are the you know,
there's very few guys where he goes that guy play
like Rory's playing in Dubai this week the DP World Tour.
All right, I'm gonna watch it to Shambo. To me,
mussy TV Rom is just a good you know, he's
(14:24):
a really good golfer, but he's not mussy TV. Jordan
Speeth is more mussy TV because you never know what
you're getting with him. It's like, wait a minute, what
fair way is he on?
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Mate?
Speaker 2 (14:36):
How did he get over there? And somehow I end
up with a birdie? But you know, the very few
golfers that will kind of, you know, push that needle,
and Deshambo is one of those guys. It's fun to watch,
all right, we'll take a break. We will ask the
question who has the most pressure on them? Coming up
these games this week, and Chris Sims will join us
(14:58):
on loan from Football Night America. More of your phone
calls as well. Todd has a rhyme time. We're back
after this.

He's Christophe Simms, Pro Football Talk Live co host and
you'll find him on Football Night in America. They got
the Bears and the Rams. Festivities started six Eastern on
NBC and Peacon. Good to see you again. Give me
the team or the player with the most pressure this weekend?
Speaker 14 (16:05):
Oh well, I think you know, team wise, that's a
good but player I still think we're probably on the
Josh Allen conversation just because of of course, yeah, I
know Burrow not being in there, Lamar Patrick Mahomes. Everybody
thinks that. As I've told you before, and we discussed
I think the last time on we're looking at the
(16:26):
modern day John Elway. He's one of the greatest quarterbacks
we've ever seen play the sport. He's yet to get
to a Super Bowl. I think he feels that pressure.
I think you could see that on his face last weekend, right,
So that would be one, right. The other guy I
would say is c J. Stroud. I mean c J
Stroud last week? How could there not be pressure? Everybody's
gonna be looking at him. That's the Houston Texans defense
(16:47):
is like the twenty thirteen Seahawks or the twenty fifteen
Broncos or the two thousand Ravens. They're the best unit
left in this playoffs. And the way that he played,
I mean I was yelling at the screen going just
kneel on the ball and steel on it and you'll
win fourteen to three. Just don't do anything again, right,
So we're gonna be watching him for sure. And you know,
I think after that, the team I probably look out
(17:11):
to have the most pressure would be the Denver Broncos. Honestly,
Denver just being at home expectations, ooh, the first big
time home playoff game, and we're a number one seed
in the Sean Payton era and bo Nicks's first home
playoff game, so this is unchartered territories for them. I
would think that would be the team i'd probably pick
under the most pressure.
Speaker 12 (17:31):
No Sam Darnold on the list. Huh, well, there's that
for sure. Yes, everybody. I felt like that was almost
too obvious. We know Sam Donald, He's going to be
the guy we look at. I'm a big believer in
the Seattle Seahawks. I will be shocked if they lose
the football game on Saturday night. I think they are
in another class from the San Francisco forty nine ers.
Their roster, their defense is just a tick below the
(17:54):
Houston Pexans. I think they're a team on the rise.
I hope he's healthy but yeah, we'll be watching him.
That's an obvious one. Give me the game that could
be a blowout of all the four games.
Speaker 14 (18:05):
You know what, if you had to make me choose
one game that I think it could be a blowout,
I think it would be the Seattle Seahawks forty nine
er football game. That would be the one. You know,
I'm amazed that the forty nine ers are there. You know,
I'm friends with Shanahan, and I just think this is
what maybe his greatest coaching job ever. When you just
talk about everything that's happened, the injuries, right, all of that.
The defense, they're just decimated. They got destroyed in that
(18:28):
Week eighteen matchup. I mean, I don't need to say much.
You saw Shanahan at halftime. He was like, I'm just
glad we're down by ten points, right because I think
he was like we should be down twenty twenty four.
So I do look at that and go, do I
think Seattle can slow down the Shanahan offense. Yes, of
course I do. And Seattle was so close on offense
the kind of blowing them out of the water in
(18:49):
Week eighteen. I think that if there's one that'll be
the game.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Help us understand what Kyle Shanahan does for his quarterback
in the huddle and then well they cut that off
with what fifteen seconds to go? But sure, what exactly
is he saying to Brock Purdy and you know, as
he gets ready to call the player go to the
line of scrimmage.
Speaker 14 (19:10):
I don't think he says much to him, and that
from my understanding, right, I think they've already been wired
as a robat during the week to kind of know, hey,
when I call this you he makes it simple for
them when I call this.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Oh, so it's not in game as much as it
is prior to that leading guyer too.
Speaker 14 (19:25):
Right, he's already come into the game plan. Go and listen,
I'm gonna call this play with this play in the
huddle too. So you got to figure out and just
look at this guy. If he goes this way, check
to the other play. If he goes to this way,
you know, stay with the play we got called. But
he's an ultimate what I always kind of the phrase
I use as code cracker, Right, Shanahan is rare and
rare in the history of NFL football. And I would
(19:48):
say Bill Belichick could do this the other way. Around.
Shanahan's dad could probably do it as well. He could
be a defensive coordinator. He understands the defensive rules every
bit as much as any defensive coach in the sport,
and that's what he does. So when he gets in film,
get into film during the week and starts to go, Okay,
what do they do when I play this formation in
that formation? He tries to find something to go, all right,
(20:11):
all right, all right, I know they're going to kind
of be in this one defense or maybe this other defense,
and now I'm going to devise a few plays off
of it that are if I can get him in
this one defense, it's going to challenge some rules of
some of the guys in this coverage, right, And as
long as he can figure out, okay, you're going to
be in this, he now can kind of teach his
receivers and maybe a play action pass to go, wait,
(20:34):
this guy's got this rule, and if we do this
to him, it kind of blows up his rules and
now he's in trouble and they can't stop it. So
I know that's a long way to say that it's
a deep conversation, but I hope that answered the question
pretty well.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Weather is perhaps going to play a role in the
Bears game. Right, who is affected aside from the quarterback? Yeah,
who's going to be affected the most with this weather?
Speaker 14 (20:59):
Well, I think it's you know, the ones I go
to after that are running backs, right, running backs, I
think just because it is so pulled the contact, the
ball does become slick. So anybody carrying the football, I
think is the next guy you look at. We know,
you know, playing in the cold, it's a different ballgame,
and when you get hit it hurts a little bit
more and everything's a little older and drier and slicker
(21:22):
and all that. But you know, I think that's what
you look at after that. You know, it depends if
the field gets frozen, then you can start to look
at DB's and receivers and can they keep their feet.
But as far as the quarterbacks, like you mentioned, I'm
not worried about either one of those quarterbacks. I mean
they are they can throw the ball through anything, right
those are These are two of the greatest arms in
the sport, right up there with Josh Allen in that
(21:44):
category right where you know, they can throw spirals, they
can cut it right through the wind and still throw
it make power throws, and I don't think it will
be affected too much.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
On Sunday night, Sam Darnold with an oblique injury, explain
to us how that would affect him.
Speaker 14 (21:59):
Yeah, that's it. I've had it. It's an annoying injury
for a quarterback.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Think about it.
Speaker 14 (22:03):
When you're throwing a lot of like, right, your golf swing,
anything like that baseball swing. You're swinging, and you're trying
to create that cork between the lower and upper half
of your body, right, And that's what great throwers do.
You see Josh Allen, he's like this sometimes and then
he lets it go. Well, that muscle there, your oblique
is what's letting you rope paid out of it. And
when your arm is disconnected as well and you have
(22:25):
a longer lever, it really can pull on there. And
I'm telling you it's something that I had before and
it bothered me for weeks. And the first week had happened,
I mean I couldn't throw a football for the first
seven or ten days I had it. Hmm, Okay, yeah,
So I'm going to be interested to see what he's
got there. Right, you know, the guy at LSU nuss Meyer,
he had it this year and it really affected his play.
(22:45):
That is not an easy injury to deal with. And
I'll certainly be looking at Sam Donald early in that
football game to see where he's out with that.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Dante Moore going back to Oregon, Yeah, Boomer Siasin said
that the Jets benefited because they probably would have taken
Dante Moore and Dante Moore is not ready to play,
which is an interesting perspective on that. But who benefited
the most of Dante Moore going back to Oregon Dante
(23:15):
Moore or Ty Simpson of Alabama?
Speaker 14 (23:17):
Oh well, I think ty Simpson here just in, you know,
as far as right now, because now he's automatically. I
think Hugh Bet too. I haven't studied Trinidad Chambliss yet.
I know he's damn good and he's exciting. But I
think the NFL is little hesitant on the smaller quarterback
between Kyler Tua Rightce Young right. So that's something that
(23:38):
I'm interested to dive into. But I think Ty Simpson,
and I'll say this, Dan, I agree with Dante Moore.
I think that was the right decision. He's got the
talent to be the number one pick in the draft.
He has all that, but you know, I'd like to
see him let his body mature a little bit more.
I think he can become a little bit of a
better leader and show some better, you know, body language
during the game as well. His talent jumps off the screen.
(24:02):
But yeah, playing those reps, you know how important that is.
I'm glad he's going back.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
You're a New York Giants family. What did the family
think of John Harbaugh Dodgy Man?
Speaker 14 (24:12):
I mean, we loved it. This is something I've been
banging the table really since the end of November. I
knew in the summer that Harbaugh and this could happen.
I had set it on my podcast with Florio all that.
It was very aware that this was a possibility with
Harball and the Ravens knowing some people in the situation.
So I was not surprised that happened when it did happen.
And I've been kind of since the end of November,
(24:35):
like man, Tomlin or Harball. We want Tomlin or Harbaugh.
Of course it's Harbaugh. I think he fits the Giant way,
I really do, right tough. He has a little bit
of a demeanor like a Bill Parcell's a Tom Kofflin.
He's going to know how to talk to the media.
And I think his core beliefs are poor giant beliefs
I said yesterday, Like when I was growing up or
(24:56):
even playing in the NFL, the one thing about the
Giants was always, oh my gosh, look at the Giants
walk on the field. Holy cow, how big are they? Right?
They were always the look team. Well, they got a
huge tight end, huge tackles, big defensive tackles, pass rushers,
all of that. They've gotten away from that hardball as
we know in Baltimore. They've made it a yearly acquisition
(25:18):
of pillaging the biggest, baddest mofos on the planet to
get on their football team. And that's the Giant way.
So I'm excited about that too. And the Giants got
a good nucleus that's young that he can grow and
really build something here in New York.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
He's Chris Sims Pro Football Talk Live co host his
podcast Unbuttoned, and you can see him on Football Night
in America. It'll be the Bears in the Rams on Sunday.
They started six Eastern. How much have you watched the
Fernando Mendoza, Oh a lot I have.
Speaker 14 (25:44):
I mean, you know, being a Big ten team doing
NBC Big Ten College Saturdays, right and all that I
saw him. I'm very impressed with Fernando Mendoza, I really am.
I mean, his throwing is he's a machine throwing the
football when you talk about power, accuracy, right, all the
different types of throws. He's a better athlete that he
gets credit for, right. So all of that. Yeah, really impressed.
(26:06):
Am I blown out away with him? Like I've been
other guys. I'm not gonna lie to you and say yes, No.
I mean, you know, is he like Josh Allen or
Lamar Jackson or Patrick Mahomes when I saw them coming out,
or even CJ. Stroud, who I really thought was special
coming out as well. I don't know if I feel
that way about him, but he's certainly worthy of being
the number one pick and the first quarterback off the board.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Yeah. As a source said to me, there's nothing he
does great, but there's nothing that he does wrong that
he he just he knows what he's doing. He does
he does that to play. I don't know if that's
the best description for the number one overall pick, but
we always look for flaws. You know that guy's throwing
motion or he got away with you know, some bad
(26:48):
habits in college. He doesn't anticipate he does you know,
line of scrimmage process, all of those things. It feels
like he has all of those things exactly. But I said,
would you take would you sign up if I said
he's going to be Joe Flacco?
Speaker 14 (27:04):
I would sign up for that. Of course, Yes, I
think Joe Flacco is one of the underrated quarterbacks of
all time, right, haven't seen that in person? And how
big he is and how he throws the football. And
then of course again I think like Mendoza, sneaky, underrated
athleticism to move in the pockets, scramble when something was there. Yeah,
I've signed up for Joe Flacco right now if i'
(27:25):
are on an NFL football team.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
But I know what you're saying.
Speaker 14 (27:28):
Right, he is a slam dunk right machine throwing the football.
But am I wowed buy him? Sometimes? Am I wowed?
Buy his backyard ability to do stuff like that that
we know is so important in the NFL? Now, No,
I'm not, But NFL coaches are going to like him
for all the reasons you explained, Dan. He knows how
to read coverage, he knows how to make the appropriate,
appropriate throws, he knows how to anticipate, he can play
(27:49):
in the pocket and do all that. And especially a
coach that knows, hey, we got a good offensive coordinator
and a good system, and we need a guy that
can run this system. Right, that's where he's really going
to you know, benefit and they're gonna like them a lot.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
What's the next best opening in the NFL?
Speaker 14 (28:05):
Oh well, I think the Atlanta won Atlanta or Tennessee
after the or and then the Ravens. Of course, I
mean the Ravens. You know, it's it's one of the
greatest quarterbacks of all time. So you got that right there,
and of course a lot of pieces. So I look
at that and go, that's one of them. The Falcons
are definitely one of them, right with that offensive line.
You know, they got Drake London, they got some young
(28:26):
defensive talent. And then the Tennessee Titans are the other
one I look at because they do have an offensive line,
they got one of the best defensive tackles in football,
and you got the quarterback.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
To me, those are the top ones available right now. Yeah,
but you got to give me at least three years
in Tennessee probably, but you know, you know how it is.
Speaker 14 (28:44):
You know, you probably would have said maybe the Patriots
need two years or the Bears need two years, right,
so you get the right coach in there, with that
new coach bump of energy and then also having a
new way of how they're coaching and playing, a team's going, Wait,
I don't you know, we got to we need a
year to figure wrap the schematics of what this guy does.
And then they got money to spend on top of that,
(29:05):
and could really I think they're gonna have the most
money out of anybody in salary cap in this offseason.
You know, they could certainly turn it around to whether
at least they're a pain in the butt in the
AFC next year. Have a great weekend as always, thanks
for joining us. Chris, Hey always man, you the man
sell those jerks.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
I said, Hi, all right, hey jerks, he says, Hi,
Chris Sims Pro Football Talk Live co host and he'll
be there with the Bears and the Rams. Paul in Colorado, Hey, Paul,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 8 (29:32):

pop pop. Oh, Oh that's interesting, mine's grandpa. So real
quick on bow Nicks twenty five wins. Win he wins

will tie Josh Allen for wins with twenty five. And
by the way, Dan our crab noise is real and
(30:15):

Speaker 2 (30:17):
All right, thank you, grandpa, Thank you appreciate that. Yes, Marvin,
I thought he was going to say something like really original. Yeah, like,
oh my gosh, you're called grandpa even pop pop.
Speaker 7 (30:29):
Isn't that original? Yes, Paul, my kids like to call
me grandfather. Oh wow, is that a family name?
Speaker 2 (30:36):
So how'd you come up with that? Yeah? My kids
call me dad? You know what? Yeah, here's the thought. Yeah,
they called me dad, well dad or father? Yeah, to
my face they called me dad. Yes, Paul.
Speaker 7 (30:49):
Do you ever see kids call their parents by their
first names in public? Yes, that's a that's kind of
freak kid it. I'm talking kids, kids under fifteen, not
like college kids.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Yeah, yeah, I've been around it. Not a fan, Yeah,
I've seen it. Alison in La Hi, Alison, what's on
your mind? What's up?

Great?
Speaker 15 (31:12):
Amazing? I am five to six and a hard one
twenty Yes, yes, okay, I have a rhyme time. And
it's going to go like this halftime show.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Wait, where where's his voice coming from? Alison? It's it's
