Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
It's the final hour in this Thursday Dan and Dan
Nz dan Patrick Show Football Tonight. The Bills getting two
and a half against the Dolphins. This is a must
ish win for the Dolphins in my opinion. You're at home,
you're facing the Bills. You have problems with the Bills,
and to a tongue of Ioloa knows that that's going
(00:26):
to be what's written out there.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Until we do something about that, that's going to be
the narrative that we can't beat the Bills. And until
we do beat them, and we beat them consistently, like,
none of that's going to change. And we have an
opportunity to do that this year. We have an opportunity
to do that this Thursday.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Yes, tonight, favored by two and a half at home.
Now do they play in December in Buffalo? That sound
about right, because that's the one I care about because
when we get to the postseason, if Miami's in the postseason,
we want to know, unless they're hosting, if they're on
the road, we know how that's going to end. We've
(01:03):
seen that play out.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Yes, Pauline, the Dolphins are at the Bills midway through
the season November three.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Oh, okay, well that's a benefit instead of going there
in December. I'm surprised that. Is it normally that early
in the season.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
No, Usually those big conference games, inner division games are
towards the end.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Yeah, all right. We say good morning. If you're watching
on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app. And at
DP show eight seven to seven three DP show operator
Tyler sitting by to take your phone calls. We'll talk
to Ross Tucker, our good buddy coming up. Touchdown passes
are down significantly in the NFL, thirty four touchdown passes
(01:43):
in Week one. By comparison, you go back to twenty nineteen,
there were sixty one thrown in Week one. Why are
touchdown passes down? PAC twelve is rating the Mountain West.
The PAC twelve is back ish. It's official Boise State,
San Diego State, Fresno State, Colorado State, all headed to
(02:04):
the PAC twelve. This is what you need to understand
about this. In the next two years, the PAC twelve
champion is not eligible for an automatic qualifying bid or
birth in the playoffs, but starting in twenty twenty six,
the champion of a rebuilt PAC twelve would presumably be
eligible to receive an automatic bid. They're going to add
(02:25):
some more schools here, and all of a sudden, the
PAC twelve could be back. If I gave Stanford and
cal mulligan and said, hey, would you like to go
back to the PAC twelve. It makes more sense geographically
for all of your student athletes there. I mean, I
have to be reminded sometimes when it's like the ACC
(02:48):
and you see Cow and Stanford and you're like, huh oh,
that's right, all right, I get that. I mean, there's
certain I mentioned this. UCLA is playing Indiana in football, Okay,
out of conference? No, No, that's in conference there, yes, Martin.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
I think the ACC it stands for American Coast Conference. Now,
oh so whatever coast. I think it's any coast conference. Okay,
all right, how about that any coast doesn't matter. Even
Coastal Carolina is not on the coast.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
So, I mean, I know they're not ACC, but I'm
just saying that, you know, it doesn't matter anymore. PAC twelve.
Let's have six you know, it's a six pack, and
maybe eight schools after that. The Big Ten's not the
Big ten anymore.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
Yes, it's not very shit to clear where any of
these teams play these days.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Let's see what you're doing with that Todd playing through pain.
It's amazing. Hero is the word. It's been thrown out
that Todd is here with a cold slight.
Speaker 6 (03:43):
Exaggeration, but here rowick. Okay, we can go with that.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah, and Seaton knows that how this is going to
end up with Todd on Monday, he'll be at death's
doorstep and imagine by Monday it's moved to his chest.
Speaker 7 (03:56):
Yeah, it's just predicted low bar pneumonia by four o'clock.
Kickoffs in there.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
But you don't have COVID correct correct? How do you
know that?
Speaker 6 (04:04):
Because I took a test?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Okay, who thinks Todd took a test? A COVID test.
Speaker 7 (04:13):
My wife made me aroly this morning because if you
if you with what's going on, if you're going to
go in and take a take something so you.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Know what's convenient, now, you're gonna blame your wife.
Speaker 6 (04:25):
That was her idea. She's the one that.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Kind of a Kyler Murray moved there. Gonna blame somebody else, Yes,
not my responsibility.
Speaker 8 (04:32):
I think.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
I think he took the test. But he probably cheated
on that one too.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Damn, damn. Your wife just wanted you out of the
house pretty much. Yeah. Uh, I have over under prop
bets tonight. Let me see if anything's interesting here. How
about Tyreek Hill over under receiving yards Todd.
Speaker 7 (04:59):
One hundred twenty seven and a half Seatney Game, Connor
eighty five, Marvin ninety five and.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
A half, bloop bloop bloop ninety five and a half. Paul,
you got it right too, ninety five and a half front,
We did it?
Speaker 8 (05:17):
Give me Dad?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Okay, how big of a story will this be tonight?
What happened to Tyreek Hill when he was pulled from
his car and arrested?
Speaker 7 (05:26):
Yes, Tod, I think it's gonna be a brief mention,
and they're gonna a brief yeah, and then they're gonna
move on. Its sweeping under the rug because it's been
discussed so much.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah, but it's still ongoing unless they.
Speaker 7 (05:35):
Have something to add between now and kickoff. They'll mention
it just to say they didn't check the box. But
I don't think they're gonna spend a lot of time
on it.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
I don't know. It still feels like it's an open wound. There,
I get it. There's now Tyreek kill did come out
and say he could have handled it differently, and he's
right now. It doesn't warrant how he was treated, but
he did help escalate it from the standpoint of these officers.
And look, we've all had an incident where you meet
(06:03):
an officer. Some are having a bad day. Some are like, hey,
you know what, you ran the stop sign. You know,
I'm going to give you a warning. But then you
have other ones that might come up and go license registration,
What did I do wrong? License registration? Oh, I did
something wrong? Hands ten to two. That's it now. Tyreek
(06:25):
admitted he did a little bit wrong. Get the window down.
I complied with what they're asking. But pulling him from
the car, putting him face down, putting him in cuffs,
that's where you lose me. And he admitted, look, I
could have been better. I could have reacted quicker there. Yes,
the police admitted that, Oh Tyre did oh I see yeah, yeah, yeah,
(06:48):
police didn't that. He still wants that one officer, I
think he's been a police officer twenty seven years, maybe
still wants him fired. Stat of the Day brought to
you is always by Panini America, the official trading cards
of The Dan Patrick Show. Did watch a little bit
of baseball last night, and what I watched sounded like this.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
And Otani FELTZ this on the right center field and
DP this one heading back.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
It's gone a line drive on a hare in on
the home run seats, an absolute blazer being for show Haltney.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
And it's home run number forty.
Speaker 8 (07:24):
Seven for the Big Show.
Speaker 9 (07:26):
Forty seven home runs and forty seven stolen bases in
the hunt for fifty to fifty.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Actually, you got another stolen base, So forty seven homers,
forty eight stolen bases. I think we have fifteen games
left for show. Hey, Otani, I believe that's the number
to get to fifty to fifty. Never happened before. Let
me see if I have that right? Is that to
(07:54):
fifteen fifteen games?
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Let's see, I have sixteen games remaining for the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
So he needs three homers, two stolen bases. Also, in
case you're wondering, the Chicago White Sox, they are six
losses shy of tying the single season record. They have
fifteen games left. They haven't won a home game in
over a month. Stand of the day, stan a day,
(08:23):
stall of a day, Stana Day. This is the style
of the day. I've said this before with Shoho Tani.
The ball sounds differently when it leaves his bad Just
listen again, it's just different. There's a couple of players,
(08:46):
but it's just different. I don't know if it's the
microphones that they have at Dodgers State. There's something about that.
I mean, you do have the power that he has,
maybe his bad something. It just it's different. There certain
golfers and guys will tell you this. You can walk down,
you know, the driving range at a PGA Tour event
(09:09):
and there's certain players that you can listen and you'll
hear it differently. The sound will be different. And players
talk about Tiger that you would walk you didn't even
have to know where Tiger was. You could be blindfolded
walking and you would hear It's different. There's certain players.
It's just different that sound. Yes, Mark, is he a
(09:33):
candidate for Sportsman of the Year already?
Speaker 8 (09:36):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Show? Hey?
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Oh sure, especially with how d on one Dimond Well,
I was just saying, especially how his year started.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Yeah, yeah, that's true. I mean d On One Sportsman
of the year and he won four games, show had surgery,
had his interpreters stealing millions of dollars, and he goes
fifty to fifty and he introduced us to his We
all go throughout the first pitch. I mean it's all there.
It's a Hallmark greeting card there. Sure give it to
(10:08):
unless Caitlyn Clark wins it. And I wouldn't rule out
that either. I was watching the game last night. She
got hit in the mouth, and I mean, you're facing
the Aces and they are. I mean they're a great team.
There's the reason why they're two time defending champs. But
Asia Wilson's playing on a different level, different stratosphere and
(10:30):
should be unanimous MVP. But the fever got literally roughed
up last night. Certainly Caitlyn Clark a couple of phone
calls in here, let me see Edward and l Passo. Hi,
ed how are you today?
Speaker 9 (10:44):
How kay Dan?
Speaker 2 (10:45):
How are you great?
Speaker 9 (10:47):
I had the exact same thing Fritzy has now and
I went to the doctor yesterday. They gave me a
steroid shot and I'm one hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
So he should Edward, were you sick?
Speaker 8 (10:59):
Like? Yeah?
Speaker 9 (11:00):
I mean I was suffering for like a week. Okay,
nose was congest I mean I was, but it was
a cold. It wasn't anything.
Speaker 8 (11:08):
You know.
Speaker 9 (11:08):
I had the clear mucus for that guy that called you.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
A great No, thank you, thank you. It's exactly Call
me and let me know how your mucus is. No, don't.
Dylan in California. Hi, Dyl, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 8 (11:26):
Hey?
Speaker 10 (11:26):
Dan danet first time dollar six foot hard, one hundred
and fifty bounds.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Are you working, Dylan?
Speaker 8 (11:34):
Dylan? Are you working?
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (11:36):
I work in a machine shop.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Oh that was going to be my guess. Yeah, machine shop.
Speaker 10 (11:42):
Okay, I just had a question. I stumbled across your
first ESPN broadcast last night, and I wanted to ask,
was boomer Chris Berman really that loud in person that
you read it dear mark or little shit?
Speaker 2 (11:59):
He was kind of loud, like you're loud your machinery.
That that was Chris uh. But look, you know, and
that came out on social media. The first broadcast I
did at the Mothership and Chris Berman had just done
the earlier Sports Center and said I'll stay and he
called me the Charlotte Observer because I observed for a
(12:22):
few weeks there watching guys do sports center, and he
called me the Charlotte Observer. But it was pretty cool
that he said he was going to stay and do
my first sports center. And he was loud, because like
he's loud anyway, but then you're right next to him
and he's yelling and he's got his nicknames, and you know,
(12:42):
I'll never forget it. It was a great gesture on
his part that he stayed there and I did my
first one with him. Brian and Grand Rapids. I Briy,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 11 (12:53):
Happy Thursday, Dan.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Thank you, Brian, Happy Thursday.
Speaker 11 (12:56):
First time long time five ten one six. Also a
proud cardteering member of the Ryanan Honolulu Alone HA Club.
I had a take on a little touchdowns first week.
Are we seeing the resurgence of the running back?
Speaker 2 (13:17):
I don't know. I don't know if offenses are now.
We saw that with San Francisco that they ran the
ball with that offensive line. I but you know, they're
kind of different. You know, the Eagles they can run
the ball because they have a great offensive line. I
don't know how many teams we would consider having a
(13:37):
great offensive line, and it may not matter who your
running back is, but it helps the Niners have Christian
McCaffrey and Saquon Barkley's with Philadelphia, I would use that
as more of a weapon, a changeup, because defenses are
streamline now. The defensive player is not the way he
was back in the seventies or eighties even nineties. If
(14:00):
you look at the comparisons now, are they better athletes yes,
are they faster, yes, but they were bulkier, they were bigger.
You were trying to demobilize the running game. Now you're
trying to be fast enough to cover everybody. When the
tight end can get down the field. You got five
wide the backfield, you know, you know running back out
(14:20):
of the backfield. Now you have to be, you know, quicker.
And I think that's the difference. If I could run
the football, control the clock, and be and then you
control the game, it would be a great weapon. And
I keep saying there's going to be teams that are
going to do this. At some point they're going to say,
now you stop us, we have a this is our advantage.
(14:43):
You're not built to stop us. And maybe you'll have
that with San Francisco and Philadelphia, these are very successful teams.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
Yes, mark even on the defensive side. You see, like
the middle linebacker has become obsolete. When I was a kid,
you could have an argument about the top five inside
linebackers or middle linebackers. Now I can name Fred Warner
and Ali Well, Michaeh. Parsons is but see even him,
he's an edge guy. In two thousand, he would have
(15:10):
been Ray Lewis.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Yes, yeah, you're right, Fred Warner. Damn is he good?
But it's it's it's strange to be really good at
a position that we used to value and you went
into the Hall of Fame. Now he might still go
in the Hall of He still stands out playing a
position where you're not expected to stand out. How many
(15:33):
middle linebackers? Can you name? How many middle linebackers are there?
But Fred Warner is great, not good? Great difference, Yeah,
marn It would.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Be arguments when I was in middle school, like oh,
London Fletcher, have you seen him? Like Levon Kirkling. It
would be guys like that. Where yes, it would be
guys like that because the middle linebacker position was so
important in the nineties, And now I can name Fred
Warner and that's it.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Yes, Paulie, there's a few stats out there that say
that rushing was drastically up week one of the NFL
season one and twenty one rushing yards per game per team.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
That's the highest way per team.
Speaker 8 (16:11):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Yeah, the average team rushed for one hundred and twenty
one yards in Week one. That's the highest since two
thousand and eight.
Speaker 8 (16:19):
Start of the.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Day STUTAA day, Start of the Day. Rushing yards are
fron the ball, Run the balls start today, Run the
damn ball Saturday Day. Brought to you by a PENNI America. Yeah,
maybe the return of the running back. Yes, Paul.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
One hundred yard rushier is week one, last year three,
this year six, week one. I think that's double.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Let's ask Tom well Todd six. So I don't know
if I can go to you too often, Todd. I
don't know were you listening. I was looking down for
a moment, but you can still listen, Like.
Speaker 6 (17:01):
If my ears shut down.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
I watched this, Todd. I'm gonna look down and you
can say something, do.
Speaker 6 (17:06):
I get another shot at it? Or it's what? Because
I have a cold.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Now I just looked up. Do I get another shot
at it?
Speaker 9 (17:11):
Or see?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I listened and I had my head down.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
Yet, eyes and ears are two different things.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Are you getting sicker by the minute.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
I'm struggling a little bit. I just have a cold.
But I would like to answer your question if you
can give me a mulligan.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Never, never mind, it doesn't matter. Let's say good night
to Todd. Okay, threw in the sniffle. Yeah, that was fake.
That was fake.
Speaker 8 (17:40):
Sick.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
I'm gonna hear a fake cough here in a moment.
Eleven eleven. Yes, that the right, Yes it was eleven. Yes, Yes, we.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Need like a purel dunk tank in here.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
Just doubt me.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Let me take a break. We'll talk to Ross Talker.
Is the running back back back, of course it is.
We'll take a break and uh once again thaunts and
prayers for Fritzie. See if you can somehow squeeze out
forty more minutes. Here one of the great comeback stories
of old time. Kurt Gibson just called to say, damn,
that's heroic, yues Mark Ohs all take a break back
(18:26):
after this.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
Sunday Night, two young phenoms go head to head. Don't
you have to be young to be a phenom? You
can't be a old phenom? Can you middle aged phenom?
It's two young phenoms going head to head. It's Caleb
Williams the Bears taking on CJ. Stroud and the Texans.
So that's Sunday Night on NBC. That's as prime as
you can get for a football team. If I'm a
(19:39):
Bears fan, I would prefer to have a game like that,
maybe five weeks, six weeks down the road, not second
game in and you're doing primetime. These are teams that
play at one o'clock. Now the Texans are gonna be
playing at four point thirty. They're gonna be playing at seven,
They're gonna be at Monday night. I think this is
just different because normally we have those one o'clock games,
(20:02):
and you're kind of watching the one o'clock games. Now
it's you're gonna be watching these games.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Yes, Paulie, the Bear is barely slipped by the Texans.
Will Levis had to basically hand it all the Titan Titans. Yeah,
I mean that's at least said too early.
Speaker 8 (20:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
He's Ross Tucker, our good buddy Westwood one and college
football and NFL analyst host of the Ross Tucker Football Podcast.
Is the running back back?
Speaker 8 (20:32):
Oh that's a good question, Dan. I'm Ross Tucker, a
middle aged phenom, happy to join the show. Now, you
know what, I don't know that I would say the
running back is back. What I would say is that
we've lost our way a little bit the last couple
of years with the value around that position or the
(20:54):
market for that position. Like for example, right, Dan sat
von Barkley. A lot of people thought the Eagles overpaid
him paying him twelve million a year. All right, so
we've got the left guard for the Eagles. Landon Diggerson's
a really good player. Okay, he makes twenty one million
a year. We've got receivers making thirty five and close
(21:18):
and soon thirty six million a year. You're trying to
tell me that a guy in Saquon Barkley, who gets
what did he get? Twenty four carries twenty I mean
twenty four touches, twenty eight touches in that first game,
that that guy isn't worth a third of a top receiver,
or isn't worth more than half of a top guard.
(21:39):
I mean, I don't know how Sakuon found the fountain
of youth. He looked like Penn State Saqua, I mean Dan,
He's touring thirty five pounds. It looked like he had
rocket boosters coming out.
Speaker 6 (21:48):
Of his butt.
Speaker 8 (21:48):
I mean, he was flying all over the field. And so, yes,
I think the Eagles might have been one of the
first teams to realize, hey, this has gotten a little
carried away. We still give the guy, this guy the
ball like twenty times a game. You might want to
have someone that you think is really good.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Paul could you check to see if Saquon had rocket
boosters coming out of his butt checking? Alrighty, you had
six one hundred yard rushers last year, it was three
in the first week now on once again. I don't
know if it's an anomaly, but you know, hardball is
going to run the football this year. I mean he's
(22:24):
going to make that Michigan West. He's going to make
sure that they're running the football. If I'm the Eagles,
I'm running the football. The Niners, I'm running the football.
I always feel like a team is a better team
when you were able to run the football. If I'm Dallas,
I would have invested in a running back. I know
that they had to pay a lot of people and
you bring Zeke back in, but just having the option
(22:47):
of like, I'm not going to buy into play play
action if I don't buy into your running back, like right, yeah.
Speaker 8 (22:54):
And here's the thing, Dan, because I know scoring was
down in week one. You know, I talk with these
ordinators all the time and these production meetings, right the
analytics guys, they have figured out that the two biggest
determining factors for the outcome of the game, whether you
win or lose it's obviously turnovers. We knew that one.
(23:15):
The other one is explosive plays, right, Different people calculate
that differently. But passes over twenty yards, runs over ten yards?
So what does that mean? That means everybody is playing
with two deep safeties. Everybody is saying, you know what,
especially in week one early in the season, why don't
you prove you can go on a twelve play drive
(23:36):
and not have a false start, not have a holding penalty,
be able to convert several third downs. So if you're
gonna keep having these teams playing the two deep safeties
so that these thirty million dollars wide receivers don't beat
them over the top, that is very favorable to run
the ball, to do the bath, especially if you have
a quarterback that can run it even a little bit.
(23:58):
The defenders there's not enough of them. They can't get
every gap if two safeties are back deep. That is why,
I think, more than anything, why there's a resurgence in
the running game. It's kind of what you have to
do if they're going to sit in those two deep
safety looks.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Yeah, and once again it's a small sample size, it's
week one, but if I'm looking at touchdown passes here,
twenty nineteen, there were sixty one touchdown passes in Week one.
There were thirty four in Week one this year. That's
a big drop, big drop, And the previous year there
were thirty seven touchdown passes week one collectively.
Speaker 8 (24:40):
Why well, that's the other thing. If you're going on
long drives as opposed to getting these big, long touchdowns
through the air, and you get down near the end zone,
well what do they do? Then? I've seen it a
million times. They go and they drop in a zone
and you're now trying to throw the ball into the
(25:01):
end zone when they're seven or eight guys in there.
Good luck. That is hard to do. I think the
teams looked at it and they thought, I mean, Josh Allen,
I did the Bills Cardinals last Sunday for CBS Dan.
Josh Allen dropped back and thought, I'm not throwing it
in there. There's eight guys in the end zone. I'm
gonna this will be an interception. People already say I
turn it over too much. So he ran and jumped
(25:23):
over the guys in for a touchdown. I think they're
realizing that is tough duty, trying to fit a ball
when you get down near the goal and there is
not that much space.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Talking to Ross Tucker, by the way, Ross on the
call for Bill's Dolphins tonight on Westwood One. He also
has Colorado Colorado State for CBS on Saturday, and you
were there for the Cardinals and the Bills. I'll go
back to that game in a moment. I said, this
is a mustish win for the Dolphins tonight. Perception wise,
(25:53):
you're one and six against Buffalo with two of their
you know you're gonna face them again in November and
go toe to toe for the division. You're at home.
How important is well, more important for Miami or Buffalo.
Speaker 8 (26:08):
Definitely more important for Miami. It's a short week, they're
playing at home. You could argue the Eagles. The Bill's
best defensive player and maybe the best nickelback in the league,
Tarn Johnson is out. So now the Bills don't have
their best linebacker who was probably their best defensive player,
Matt Milano. He's out till December. Now you don't have
(26:32):
Tarn Johnson. If the Dolphins don't beat the Bills this time, Dan,
when are they gonna right? I mean, Josh Allen The
numbers for Josh Allen against the Dolphins are just insane.
He averages over two hundred and seventy five yards passing
and over fifty yards rushing against them in thirteen starts.
(26:53):
It's by far the most of any player against any
team in NFL history. Josh Allen owns the Dolphins. The
Dolphins need to end this. The Bills have won the
AFC East four years in a row. I just think
it would be so demoralizing mentally for the Dolphins if
they lose this. If the Bills lose it, they'll say, Okay,
(27:13):
short week, we're without our two best defensive players. We'll
have them later. We'll see those guys up in Buffalo
later in the season, and we'll be able to beat
them and win the division in December like we always do.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
I'm going to bring back a comment Kyler Murray made
after Sunday's game, and the reporter was talking about not
getting Marvin Harrison the ball. You were there, and especially
that that last pass that could have gone to Marvin
Harrison that would have won the game. He was open,
but Kyler Murray is asked about not getting his rookie
(27:46):
wide receiver the ball.
Speaker 8 (27:49):
Stay away. Mark.
Speaker 13 (27:52):
Honestly, man, I wouldn't say they was taking them away.
I think you know, I'm just as a quarterback. Obviously,
you going to your red sometimes the ball goes to them.
That's not you know, it's not my job. Obviously. You know,
I have a I have a sense and a feel
for guys when they don't get the ball, when they're
you know, when they are getting the ball.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
But yeah, I'll leave that up to Drew.
Speaker 13 (28:10):
You know, Drew always, you know, he tells me, don't
worry about that type of stuff. Just keep playing a
game and you know, get the ball to where the
ball is supposed to go.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
All right, So Drew is Drew petsing the offensive coordinator
there right and kind of pushing off any blame that
it's on the OC. But you still have the ball
in your hands. He's not telling you not to throw
it to Marvin Harrison for the game winning touchdown. I
just I'm trying to understand the mindset and be fair
to Kyler Murray, and that is how do I get
(28:40):
him the ball? How do I not say to my
offensive coordinator, let's get him the ball. He is your
best weapon? Why does he have three targets in that game.
Speaker 8 (28:51):
Well, so that's what's so interesting about that, right, you know,
it's not like throughout the rest of the game, Dan,
that he was running wide open. The first time Kyler
threw him the ball in the game, it was a
back shoulder throw and Harrison didn't look like he was
expecting it. He was going for the fade, and after
the play, Kyler kind of gave him one of these,
(29:13):
you know, shrugging like, hey, what are we doing here?
And then later on second or third quarter, he ran
a good route, he was wide open. Tyler put it
right on him, Dan, and he just dropped it. One
of the worst drops I've ever seen. And I've been
watching Marvin Harrison play football since he was in tenth
(29:34):
grade in Philly High school football. I honestly don't think
I've ever seen him have a drop before. He might
have the best ball skills of any wide receiver prospect
I can remember. It was a blatant drop. Now, credit
to Petsing because the very next play they just ran
a five yard out with Harrison and threw it right
to him just so that he didn't lose it mentally.
(29:55):
But I think, you know, no preseason for these guys
and no matter what what the expectations are, he's still
a rookie. It was still We asked them the day
before the game in the production meetings, you know, what
do you think? And He's like, I got all kinds
of feelings going on. I mean, you know, these are
still twenty one year old kids in their first NFL game,
and I'm not sure, but this way, I'm not saying
(30:18):
Kyler was intentionally not trying to throw it to Marvin
Harrison late, but he certainly hasn't earned and didn't earn
in that game. Hey, this is our guy. I mean,
Kyler was probably looking for Trey McBride or maybe Dorch
or somebody else. I don't think Kyler has that confidence
in Harrison Junior yet, even though he told us the
day before that he did.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Okay, now you got Colorado at Colorado State. Is this
a must win for Dion?
Speaker 8 (30:47):
Absolutely? Yeah. I mean Dan last year they were three
and zero and then they lost the game and it
went off the rails. I mean, they went one to
eight the rest of the season. And it's one of
the things I think that's so interesting about their model
and having this many new players every year and this
many transfer portal additions. How does that group overcome adversity?
(31:10):
How do they fare when things start to go south
if they lose this game, which, by the way, you
know they're telling me it's going to be the biggest
event in the history of Fort Collins, Colorado. They haven't
hosted Colorado in the Rocky Mountain Showdown since nineteen ninety six.
Now you have Dion Sanders and all the attention and
(31:30):
CBS Primetime, all that stuff. Last year, Colorado was three
and zero. What happens if they start this year one
and two and losing Nebraska and Colorado State after beating
them last year. You know, their team is made up
of a lot of guys that have shown they're willing
to go somewhere else, right, I mean, they're all transportal guys.
(31:51):
They're willing to go somewhere. I don't know if that's
a better team or a better situation for them, or
more nil money. I wonder if if coach Prime will
be able to keep this group together the rest of
the season and stay resilient if they lose this one.
They didn't show last year that they could really overcome adversity.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
I'm gonna leave you with this, give you something to
think about. You had Northern Illinois beat Notre Dame. They
got paid one point four million dollars to go in
there and play Notre Dame. They beat Notre Dame. What
if I said to Northern Illinois or any of these
smaller schools, when you go in and you're basically being
paid to be a sacrificial and you can take the money,
(32:33):
or you can take half the money, and then Notre
Dame must go to de Kalb next season, So you
get Notre Dame going to Northern Illinois and you get
half the money, or you just take the one point
four if I added a little spice to these games
where the big guy's picking on the little guy, and
(32:56):
then if you lose, you have to go to their place.
It's a home and home.
Speaker 8 (33:00):
Oh only if only if you win.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Only if you win.
Speaker 8 (33:03):
Oh oh okay, Because I was gonna say, they would
all take that in the heartbeat, you know, because even
like Colorado State Dan, they're geniuses. Right. You can't buy
a single game ticket for this game on Saturday night.
It had to be part of a season ticket package.
You wanted to go to the CUCSU game, you had
to buy some other games as well. That's exactly what
Northern Illinois would do. Like I mean, I think you
(33:27):
know what. It's like anything else going on with college
football these days, Dan, the players and coaches would be
all for it. The administrators would say, no, thanks, we'll
take the guaranteed one point four thank you.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
I know, because I'd like to see these smaller schools
get paid because we know that that helps their entire
athletic department budget. But if you put that on, imagine
Notre Dame. You lose the game, you pay them seven
hundred thousand dollars, but then it'll be it would be
the biggest event in that city's history. If Notre Dame
(33:58):
went to the COWB next year.
Speaker 8 (34:01):
That would be incredible. This is what I love about
college football. I love the upsets and stuff like this,
which is why there's people talking about how the power
for might split off from the Group of five and
they's all kinds of talk about all these different scenarios.
I hope that doesn't happen because quite frankly, the college
football ecosystem, Dan, they need these games, you know, like
(34:26):
the max schools, they need those paydays from the big boys.
And by the way, the big guys, the big programs,
they need these games too. They need games where they're
pretty commident they can win and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Great to talk to you have fun tonight and safe
travels there, Colorado, Colorado State as well.
Speaker 8 (34:47):
Thanks Dan, really appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
That's Ross Tuck or west Wood One, CBS Sports, NFL
college football analyst. I do like that if we gave
you the choice, you can get half of the money
and you can get a home at home with the team.
Speaker 8 (35:02):
That you just beat. Yeah. Me, that'd be good.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
That'd be that'd be fun. Let me take a break,
last call for phone calls, what we learn, what's in
store this day in sports history.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Right after this, be sure to catch the live edition
of The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern
six am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAP.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
More on the Deshaun Watson situation coming up tomorrow, Mike
Florio will join us. In fact, Deshaun Watson was asked
about the latest civil lawsuit against him, and he had
this to say about the front office of the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 14 (35:40):
Now, I can't speak for the fans. I can't speak
for any anybody outside this building, but I know that,
you know, hearing from the haslms and ab and those guys,
I know that they tell me someon every day that they,
you know, support me and got my back and that
they want me to focus on being the best quarterback
I can be. That's all I can do is just
speak my truth, tell them the truth. They talked with
(36:00):
my legal team and everyone that was a part of
this whole process, and you know, they have to make
their decision, and that decision was to you know, have
give me an opportunity to come be their franchise quarterback
to help his team win.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Okay, I didn't expect him to say anything differently, but
there could be a different outcome here and we'll find
out if the Cleveland Browns truly want to stick with
Deshaun Monson. Once again, he had. He was sacked six times.
He was hit seventeen times by the Cowboys. No other
quarterback was close to that number, nor should they be.
(36:34):
But that was what was really surprising alarming that he
took that many hits in the game. How about we
write tomorrow's headline today with the Dolphins and the Bills
Todd if you have enough energy battling through your cold,
if you can do it, that would be great.
Speaker 7 (36:54):
I'm going to go with Finley fi in in nice
turquoise Dolphins break to uh dolphins breakthrough.

Michael f. There's a fantasy guy and his name is
Michael F. Florio. He's on NFL network this morning. So
Mike Florio runs Pro Football Talk and he's been doing
this for quite some time. And then this guy, Michael
F Florio is younger. Is this kind of like Michael
(39:27):
Jordan and Michael B. Jordan? Oh yeah, yeah, like Mike
Florio and Michael F Florio. I poor guy. I mean,
if you can't make a name for yourself, if you
already got somebody named Mike Florio, Yes.
Speaker 4 (39:43):
We were saying he could go buy m F Florio.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
Yeah, mfor a lot of people say m F to Florida, Yes, yes,
mphor Florio. This day in sports history, Paul, I'll just
give you one.
Speaker 4 (39:53):
Nineteen eighty four, Michael Jordan signed a seven year contract
to play for the Bulls. Total compensation for his first
seven years three million total. Oh uh, you're not far
off nineteen million dollars. Oh what a bargain.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
Yeah, I think so. I think that worked out. Okay,
let me see here's one for you. Nineteen ninety five,
the Harlem Globetrotters eight and twenty nine game winning streak
came to an end.
Speaker 8 (40:23):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
They lost in Vienna, Austria to Kareem's All Stars. Kareem
was forty eight years of age. He scores thirty four.
They had tiny Archibald Artist Gilmour, Jojo White, Cornbread, Maxwell
and Bo Kimball. I don't remember that, but Kareem's All
Stars ended a twenty four year winning streak. They lost
(40:48):
to somebody not in on the joke. Yeah, yeah, you
know what, Kareem didn't get the script. They're probably like, Kareem,
what are you doing?
Speaker 6 (40:56):
What the heck?
Speaker 2 (40:58):
Just scoring at will my sky hook. Yes, did you
see speaking of people having to change their names? Uh,
like the running back Kareem abdul Jabbarareem abdul Jabbar, the
running back. No, did you see the story recently about
the actor Michael Keaton. Yeah, you can change his name
back to what it really is. It's Michael Douglas. Yeah,
but he wanted to be an actor. He's like, oh crap,
(41:18):
there's already Michael Douglas. Well, I guess I'm Michael Keaton.
Speaker 14 (41:21):
Though.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
What we learned brought to you by Express Employment Professionals
provide the workforce you need. With Express, you can lower
contingent labor costs and reduce turnover. Go to expresspros dot
com to find the location nearest to you. Expresspros dot
Com once again, a round of applause for Todd Fritz
somehow battled through. I hope he's going to be there
(41:42):
tomorrow for Meet Friday. Thanks for joining us, Have a
wonderful day
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
It's the final hour in this Thursday Dan and Dan
Nz dan Patrick Show Football Tonight. The Bills getting two
and a half against the Dolphins. This is a must
ish win for the Dolphins in my opinion. You're at home,
you're facing the Bills. You have problems with the Bills,
and to a tongue of Ioloa knows that that's going
(00:26):
to be what's written out there.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Until we do something about that, that's going to be
the narrative that we can't beat the Bills. And until
we do beat them, and we beat them consistently, like,
none of that's going to change. And we have an
opportunity to do that this year. We have an opportunity
to do that this Thursday.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Yes, tonight, favored by two and a half at home.
Now do they play in December in Buffalo? That sound
about right, because that's the one I care about because
when we get to the postseason, if Miami's in the postseason,
we want to know, unless they're hosting, if they're on
the road, we know how that's going to end. We've
(01:03):
seen that play out.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Yes, Pauline, the Dolphins are at the Bills midway through
the season November three.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Oh, okay, well that's a benefit instead of going there
in December. I'm surprised that. Is it normally that early
in the season.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
No, Usually those big conference games, inner division games are
towards the end.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Yeah, all right. We say good morning. If you're watching
on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app. And at
DP show eight seven to seven three DP show operator
Tyler sitting by to take your phone calls. We'll talk
to Ross Tucker, our good buddy coming up. Touchdown passes
are down significantly in the NFL, thirty four touchdown passes
(01:43):
in Week one. By comparison, you go back to twenty nineteen,
there were sixty one thrown in Week one. Why are
touchdown passes down? PAC twelve is rating the Mountain West.
The PAC twelve is back ish. It's official Boise State,
San Diego State, Fresno State, Colorado State, all headed to
(02:04):
the PAC twelve. This is what you need to understand
about this. In the next two years, the PAC twelve
champion is not eligible for an automatic qualifying bid or
birth in the playoffs, but starting in twenty twenty six,
the champion of a rebuilt PAC twelve would presumably be
eligible to receive an automatic bid. They're going to add
(02:25):
some more schools here, and all of a sudden, the
PAC twelve could be back. If I gave Stanford and
cal mulligan and said, hey, would you like to go
back to the PAC twelve. It makes more sense geographically
for all of your student athletes there. I mean, I
have to be reminded sometimes when it's like the ACC
(02:48):
and you see Cow and Stanford and you're like, huh oh,
that's right, all right, I get that. I mean, there's
certain I mentioned this. UCLA is playing Indiana in football, Okay,
out of conference? No, No, that's in conference there, yes, Martin.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
I think the ACC it stands for American Coast Conference. Now,
oh so whatever coast. I think it's any coast conference. Okay,
all right, how about that any coast doesn't matter. Even
Coastal Carolina is not on the coast.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
So, I mean, I know they're not ACC, but I'm
just saying that, you know, it doesn't matter anymore. PAC twelve.
Let's have six you know, it's a six pack, and
maybe eight schools after that. The Big Ten's not the
Big ten anymore.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
Yes, it's not very shit to clear where any of
these teams play these days.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Let's see what you're doing with that Todd playing through pain.
It's amazing. Hero is the word. It's been thrown out
that Todd is here with a cold slight.
Speaker 6 (03:43):
Exaggeration, but here rowick. Okay, we can go with that.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah, and Seaton knows that how this is going to
end up with Todd on Monday, he'll be at death's
doorstep and imagine by Monday it's moved to his chest.
Speaker 7 (03:56):
Yeah, it's just predicted low bar pneumonia by four o'clock.
Kickoffs in there.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
But you don't have COVID correct correct? How do you
know that?
Speaker 6 (04:04):
Because I took a test?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Okay, who thinks Todd took a test? A COVID test.
Speaker 7 (04:13):
My wife made me aroly this morning because if you
if you with what's going on, if you're going to
go in and take a take something so you.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Know what's convenient, now, you're gonna blame your wife.
Speaker 6 (04:25):
That was her idea. She's the one that.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Kind of a Kyler Murray moved there. Gonna blame somebody else, Yes,
not my responsibility.
Speaker 8 (04:32):
I think.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
I think he took the test. But he probably cheated
on that one too.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Damn, damn. Your wife just wanted you out of the
house pretty much. Yeah. Uh, I have over under prop
bets tonight. Let me see if anything's interesting here. How
about Tyreek Hill over under receiving yards Todd.
Speaker 7 (04:59):
One hundred twenty seven and a half Seatney Game, Connor
eighty five, Marvin ninety five and.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
A half, bloop bloop bloop ninety five and a half. Paul,
you got it right too, ninety five and a half front,
We did it?
Speaker 8 (05:17):
Give me Dad?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Okay, how big of a story will this be tonight?
What happened to Tyreek Hill when he was pulled from
his car and arrested?
Speaker 7 (05:26):
Yes, Tod, I think it's gonna be a brief mention,
and they're gonna a brief yeah, and then they're gonna
move on. Its sweeping under the rug because it's been
discussed so much.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah, but it's still ongoing unless they.
Speaker 7 (05:35):
Have something to add between now and kickoff. They'll mention
it just to say they didn't check the box. But
I don't think they're gonna spend a lot of time
on it.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
I don't know. It still feels like it's an open wound. There,
I get it. There's now Tyreek kill did come out
and say he could have handled it differently, and he's
right now. It doesn't warrant how he was treated, but
he did help escalate it from the standpoint of these officers.
And look, we've all had an incident where you meet
(06:03):
an officer. Some are having a bad day. Some are like, hey,
you know what, you ran the stop sign. You know,
I'm going to give you a warning. But then you
have other ones that might come up and go license registration,
What did I do wrong? License registration? Oh, I did
something wrong? Hands ten to two. That's it now. Tyreek
(06:25):
admitted he did a little bit wrong. Get the window down.
I complied with what they're asking. But pulling him from
the car, putting him face down, putting him in cuffs,
that's where you lose me. And he admitted, look, I
could have been better. I could have reacted quicker there. Yes,
the police admitted that, Oh Tyre did oh I see yeah, yeah, yeah,
(06:48):
police didn't that. He still wants that one officer, I
think he's been a police officer twenty seven years, maybe
still wants him fired. Stat of the Day brought to
you is always by Panini America, the official trading cards
of The Dan Patrick Show. Did watch a little bit
of baseball last night, and what I watched sounded like this.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
And Otani FELTZ this on the right center field and
DP this one heading back.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
It's gone a line drive on a hare in on
the home run seats, an absolute blazer being for show Haltney.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
And it's home run number forty.
Speaker 8 (07:24):
Seven for the Big Show.
Speaker 9 (07:26):
Forty seven home runs and forty seven stolen bases in
the hunt for fifty to fifty.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Actually, you got another stolen base, So forty seven homers,
forty eight stolen bases. I think we have fifteen games
left for show. Hey, Otani, I believe that's the number
to get to fifty to fifty. Never happened before. Let
me see if I have that right? Is that to
(07:54):
fifteen fifteen games?
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Let's see, I have sixteen games remaining for the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
So he needs three homers, two stolen bases. Also, in
case you're wondering, the Chicago White Sox, they are six
losses shy of tying the single season record. They have
fifteen games left. They haven't won a home game in
over a month. Stand of the day, stan a day,
(08:23):
stall of a day, Stana Day. This is the style
of the day. I've said this before with Shoho Tani.
The ball sounds differently when it leaves his bad Just
listen again, it's just different. There's a couple of players,
(08:46):
but it's just different. I don't know if it's the
microphones that they have at Dodgers State. There's something about that.
I mean, you do have the power that he has,
maybe his bad something. It just it's different. There certain
golfers and guys will tell you this. You can walk down,
you know, the driving range at a PGA Tour event
(09:09):
and there's certain players that you can listen and you'll
hear it differently. The sound will be different. And players
talk about Tiger that you would walk you didn't even
have to know where Tiger was. You could be blindfolded
walking and you would hear It's different. There's certain players.
It's just different that sound. Yes, Mark, is he a
(09:33):
candidate for Sportsman of the Year already?
Speaker 8 (09:36):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Show? Hey?
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Oh sure, especially with how d on one Dimond Well,
I was just saying, especially how his year started.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Yeah, yeah, that's true. I mean d On One Sportsman
of the year and he won four games, show had surgery,
had his interpreters stealing millions of dollars, and he goes
fifty to fifty and he introduced us to his We
all go throughout the first pitch. I mean it's all there.
It's a Hallmark greeting card there. Sure give it to
(10:08):
unless Caitlyn Clark wins it. And I wouldn't rule out
that either. I was watching the game last night. She
got hit in the mouth, and I mean, you're facing
the Aces and they are. I mean they're a great team.
There's the reason why they're two time defending champs. But
Asia Wilson's playing on a different level, different stratosphere and
(10:30):
should be unanimous MVP. But the fever got literally roughed
up last night. Certainly Caitlyn Clark a couple of phone
calls in here, let me see Edward and l Passo. Hi,
ed how are you today?
Speaker 9 (10:44):
How kay Dan?
Speaker 2 (10:45):
How are you great?
Speaker 9 (10:47):
I had the exact same thing Fritzy has now and
I went to the doctor yesterday. They gave me a
steroid shot and I'm one hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
So he should Edward, were you sick?
Speaker 8 (10:59):
Like? Yeah?
Speaker 9 (11:00):
I mean I was suffering for like a week. Okay,
nose was congest I mean I was, but it was
a cold. It wasn't anything.
Speaker 8 (11:08):
You know.
Speaker 9 (11:08):
I had the clear mucus for that guy that called you.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
A great No, thank you, thank you. It's exactly Call
me and let me know how your mucus is. No, don't.
Dylan in California. Hi, Dyl, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 8 (11:26):
Hey?
Speaker 10 (11:26):
Dan danet first time dollar six foot hard, one hundred
and fifty bounds.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Are you working, Dylan?
Speaker 8 (11:34):
Dylan? Are you working?
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (11:36):
I work in a machine shop.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Oh that was going to be my guess. Yeah, machine shop.
Speaker 10 (11:42):
Okay, I just had a question. I stumbled across your
first ESPN broadcast last night, and I wanted to ask,
was boomer Chris Berman really that loud in person that
you read it dear mark or little shit?
Speaker 2 (11:59):
He was kind of loud, like you're loud your machinery.
That that was Chris uh. But look, you know, and
that came out on social media. The first broadcast I
did at the Mothership and Chris Berman had just done
the earlier Sports Center and said I'll stay and he
called me the Charlotte Observer because I observed for a
(12:22):
few weeks there watching guys do sports center, and he
called me the Charlotte Observer. But it was pretty cool
that he said he was going to stay and do
my first sports center. And he was loud, because like
he's loud anyway, but then you're right next to him
and he's yelling and he's got his nicknames, and you know,
(12:42):
I'll never forget it. It was a great gesture on
his part that he stayed there and I did my
first one with him. Brian and Grand Rapids. I Briy,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 11 (12:53):
Happy Thursday, Dan.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Thank you, Brian, Happy Thursday.
Speaker 11 (12:56):
First time long time five ten one six. Also a
proud cardteering member of the Ryanan Honolulu Alone HA Club.
I had a take on a little touchdowns first week.
Are we seeing the resurgence of the running back?
Speaker 2 (13:17):
I don't know. I don't know if offenses are now.
We saw that with San Francisco that they ran the
ball with that offensive line. I but you know, they're
kind of different. You know, the Eagles they can run
the ball because they have a great offensive line. I
don't know how many teams we would consider having a
(13:37):
great offensive line, and it may not matter who your
running back is, but it helps the Niners have Christian
McCaffrey and Saquon Barkley's with Philadelphia, I would use that
as more of a weapon, a changeup, because defenses are
streamline now. The defensive player is not the way he
was back in the seventies or eighties even nineties. If
(14:00):
you look at the comparisons now, are they better athletes yes,
are they faster, yes, but they were bulkier, they were bigger.
You were trying to demobilize the running game. Now you're
trying to be fast enough to cover everybody. When the
tight end can get down the field. You got five
wide the backfield, you know, you know running back out
(14:20):
of the backfield. Now you have to be, you know, quicker.
And I think that's the difference. If I could run
the football, control the clock, and be and then you
control the game, it would be a great weapon. And
I keep saying there's going to be teams that are
going to do this. At some point they're going to say,
now you stop us, we have a this is our advantage.
(14:43):
You're not built to stop us. And maybe you'll have
that with San Francisco and Philadelphia, these are very successful teams.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
Yes, mark even on the defensive side. You see, like
the middle linebacker has become obsolete. When I was a kid,
you could have an argument about the top five inside
linebackers or middle linebackers. Now I can name Fred Warner
and Ali Well, Michaeh. Parsons is but see even him,
he's an edge guy. In two thousand, he would have
(15:10):
been Ray Lewis.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Yes, yeah, you're right, Fred Warner. Damn is he good?
But it's it's it's strange to be really good at
a position that we used to value and you went
into the Hall of Fame. Now he might still go
in the Hall of He still stands out playing a
position where you're not expected to stand out. How many
(15:33):
middle linebackers? Can you name? How many middle linebackers are there?
But Fred Warner is great, not good? Great difference, Yeah,
marn It would.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Be arguments when I was in middle school, like oh,
London Fletcher, have you seen him? Like Levon Kirkling. It
would be guys like that. Where yes, it would be
guys like that because the middle linebacker position was so
important in the nineties, And now I can name Fred
Warner and that's it.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Yes, Paulie, there's a few stats out there that say
that rushing was drastically up week one of the NFL
season one and twenty one rushing yards per game per team.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
That's the highest way per team.
Speaker 8 (16:11):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Yeah, the average team rushed for one hundred and twenty
one yards in Week one. That's the highest since two
thousand and eight.
Speaker 8 (16:19):
Start of the.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Day STUTAA day, Start of the Day. Rushing yards are
fron the ball, Run the balls start today, Run the
damn ball Saturday Day. Brought to you by a PENNI America. Yeah,
maybe the return of the running back. Yes, Paul.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
One hundred yard rushier is week one, last year three,
this year six, week one. I think that's double.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Let's ask Tom well Todd six. So I don't know
if I can go to you too often, Todd. I
don't know were you listening. I was looking down for
a moment, but you can still listen, Like.
Speaker 6 (17:01):
If my ears shut down.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
I watched this, Todd. I'm gonna look down and you
can say something, do.
Speaker 6 (17:06):
I get another shot at it? Or it's what? Because
I have a cold.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Now I just looked up. Do I get another shot
at it?
Speaker 9 (17:11):
Or see?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I listened and I had my head down.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
Yet, eyes and ears are two different things.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Are you getting sicker by the minute.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
I'm struggling a little bit. I just have a cold.
But I would like to answer your question if you
can give me a mulligan.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Never, never mind, it doesn't matter. Let's say good night
to Todd. Okay, threw in the sniffle. Yeah, that was fake.
That was fake.
Speaker 8 (17:40):
Sick.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
I'm gonna hear a fake cough here in a moment.
Eleven eleven. Yes, that the right, Yes it was eleven. Yes, Yes, we.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Need like a purel dunk tank in here.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
Just doubt me.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Let me take a break. We'll talk to Ross Talker.
Is the running back back back, of course it is.
We'll take a break and uh once again thaunts and
prayers for Fritzie. See if you can somehow squeeze out
forty more minutes. Here one of the great comeback stories
of old time. Kurt Gibson just called to say, damn,
that's heroic, yues Mark Ohs all take a break back
(18:26):
after this.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
Sunday Night, two young phenoms go head to head. Don't
you have to be young to be a phenom? You
can't be a old phenom? Can you middle aged phenom?
It's two young phenoms going head to head. It's Caleb
Williams the Bears taking on CJ. Stroud and the Texans.
So that's Sunday Night on NBC. That's as prime as
you can get for a football team. If I'm a
(19:39):
Bears fan, I would prefer to have a game like that,
maybe five weeks, six weeks down the road, not second
game in and you're doing primetime. These are teams that
play at one o'clock. Now the Texans are gonna be
playing at four point thirty. They're gonna be playing at seven,
They're gonna be at Monday night. I think this is
just different because normally we have those one o'clock games,
(20:02):
and you're kind of watching the one o'clock games. Now
it's you're gonna be watching these games.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Yes, Paulie, the Bear is barely slipped by the Texans.
Will Levis had to basically hand it all the Titan Titans. Yeah,
I mean that's at least said too early.
Speaker 8 (20:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
He's Ross Tucker, our good buddy Westwood one and college
football and NFL analyst host of the Ross Tucker Football Podcast.
Is the running back back?
Speaker 8 (20:32):
Oh that's a good question, Dan. I'm Ross Tucker, a
middle aged phenom, happy to join the show. Now, you
know what, I don't know that I would say the
running back is back. What I would say is that
we've lost our way a little bit the last couple
of years with the value around that position or the
(20:54):
market for that position. Like for example, right, Dan sat
von Barkley. A lot of people thought the Eagles overpaid
him paying him twelve million a year. All right, so
we've got the left guard for the Eagles. Landon Diggerson's
a really good player. Okay, he makes twenty one million
a year. We've got receivers making thirty five and close
(21:18):
and soon thirty six million a year. You're trying to
tell me that a guy in Saquon Barkley, who gets
what did he get? Twenty four carries twenty I mean
twenty four touches, twenty eight touches in that first game,
that that guy isn't worth a third of a top receiver,
or isn't worth more than half of a top guard.
(21:39):
I mean, I don't know how Sakuon found the fountain
of youth. He looked like Penn State Saqua, I mean Dan,
He's touring thirty five pounds. It looked like he had
rocket boosters coming out.
Speaker 6 (21:48):
Of his butt.
Speaker 8 (21:48):
I mean, he was flying all over the field. And so, yes,
I think the Eagles might have been one of the
first teams to realize, hey, this has gotten a little
carried away. We still give the guy, this guy the
ball like twenty times a game. You might want to
have someone that you think is really good.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Paul could you check to see if Saquon had rocket
boosters coming out of his butt checking? Alrighty, you had
six one hundred yard rushers last year, it was three
in the first week now on once again. I don't
know if it's an anomaly, but you know, hardball is
going to run the football this year. I mean he's
(22:24):
going to make that Michigan West. He's going to make
sure that they're running the football. If I'm the Eagles,
I'm running the football. The Niners, I'm running the football.
I always feel like a team is a better team
when you were able to run the football. If I'm Dallas,
I would have invested in a running back. I know
that they had to pay a lot of people and
you bring Zeke back in, but just having the option
(22:47):
of like, I'm not going to buy into play play
action if I don't buy into your running back, like right, yeah.
Speaker 8 (22:54):
And here's the thing, Dan, because I know scoring was
down in week one. You know, I talk with these
ordinators all the time and these production meetings, right the
analytics guys, they have figured out that the two biggest
determining factors for the outcome of the game, whether you
win or lose it's obviously turnovers. We knew that one.
(23:15):
The other one is explosive plays, right, Different people calculate
that differently. But passes over twenty yards, runs over ten yards?
So what does that mean? That means everybody is playing
with two deep safeties. Everybody is saying, you know what,
especially in week one early in the season, why don't
you prove you can go on a twelve play drive
(23:36):
and not have a false start, not have a holding penalty,
be able to convert several third downs. So if you're
gonna keep having these teams playing the two deep safeties
so that these thirty million dollars wide receivers don't beat
them over the top, that is very favorable to run
the ball, to do the bath, especially if you have
a quarterback that can run it even a little bit.
(23:58):
The defenders there's not enough of them. They can't get
every gap if two safeties are back deep. That is why,
I think, more than anything, why there's a resurgence in
the running game. It's kind of what you have to
do if they're going to sit in those two deep
safety looks.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Yeah, and once again it's a small sample size, it's
week one, but if I'm looking at touchdown passes here,
twenty nineteen, there were sixty one touchdown passes in Week one.
There were thirty four in Week one this year. That's
a big drop, big drop, And the previous year there
were thirty seven touchdown passes week one collectively.
Speaker 8 (24:40):
Why well, that's the other thing. If you're going on
long drives as opposed to getting these big, long touchdowns
through the air, and you get down near the end zone,
well what do they do? Then? I've seen it a
million times. They go and they drop in a zone
and you're now trying to throw the ball into the
(25:01):
end zone when they're seven or eight guys in there.
Good luck. That is hard to do. I think the
teams looked at it and they thought, I mean, Josh Allen,
I did the Bills Cardinals last Sunday for CBS Dan.
Josh Allen dropped back and thought, I'm not throwing it
in there. There's eight guys in the end zone. I'm
gonna this will be an interception. People already say I
turn it over too much. So he ran and jumped
(25:23):
over the guys in for a touchdown. I think they're
realizing that is tough duty, trying to fit a ball
when you get down near the goal and there is
not that much space.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Talking to Ross Tucker, by the way, Ross on the
call for Bill's Dolphins tonight on Westwood One. He also
has Colorado Colorado State for CBS on Saturday, and you
were there for the Cardinals and the Bills. I'll go
back to that game in a moment. I said, this
is a mustish win for the Dolphins tonight. Perception wise,
(25:53):
you're one and six against Buffalo with two of their
you know you're gonna face them again in November and
go toe to toe for the division. You're at home.
How important is well, more important for Miami or Buffalo.
Speaker 8 (26:08):
Definitely more important for Miami. It's a short week, they're
playing at home. You could argue the Eagles. The Bill's
best defensive player and maybe the best nickelback in the league,
Tarn Johnson is out. So now the Bills don't have
their best linebacker who was probably their best defensive player,
Matt Milano. He's out till December. Now you don't have
(26:32):
Tarn Johnson. If the Dolphins don't beat the Bills this time, Dan,
when are they gonna right? I mean, Josh Allen The
numbers for Josh Allen against the Dolphins are just insane.
He averages over two hundred and seventy five yards passing
and over fifty yards rushing against them in thirteen starts.
(26:53):
It's by far the most of any player against any
team in NFL history. Josh Allen owns the Dolphins. The
Dolphins need to end this. The Bills have won the
AFC East four years in a row. I just think
it would be so demoralizing mentally for the Dolphins if
they lose this. If the Bills lose it, they'll say, Okay,
(27:13):
short week, we're without our two best defensive players. We'll
have them later. We'll see those guys up in Buffalo
later in the season, and we'll be able to beat
them and win the division in December like we always do.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
I'm going to bring back a comment Kyler Murray made
after Sunday's game, and the reporter was talking about not
getting Marvin Harrison the ball. You were there, and especially
that that last pass that could have gone to Marvin
Harrison that would have won the game. He was open,
but Kyler Murray is asked about not getting his rookie
(27:46):
wide receiver the ball.
Speaker 8 (27:49):
Stay away. Mark.
Speaker 13 (27:52):
Honestly, man, I wouldn't say they was taking them away.
I think you know, I'm just as a quarterback. Obviously,
you going to your red sometimes the ball goes to them.
That's not you know, it's not my job. Obviously. You know,
I have a I have a sense and a feel
for guys when they don't get the ball, when they're
you know, when they are getting the ball.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
But yeah, I'll leave that up to Drew.
Speaker 13 (28:10):
You know, Drew always, you know, he tells me, don't
worry about that type of stuff. Just keep playing a
game and you know, get the ball to where the
ball is supposed to go.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
All right, So Drew is Drew petsing the offensive coordinator
there right and kind of pushing off any blame that
it's on the OC. But you still have the ball
in your hands. He's not telling you not to throw
it to Marvin Harrison for the game winning touchdown. I
just I'm trying to understand the mindset and be fair
to Kyler Murray, and that is how do I get
(28:40):
him the ball? How do I not say to my
offensive coordinator, let's get him the ball. He is your
best weapon? Why does he have three targets in that game.
Speaker 8 (28:51):
Well, so that's what's so interesting about that, right, you know,
it's not like throughout the rest of the game, Dan,
that he was running wide open. The first time Kyler
threw him the ball in the game, it was a
back shoulder throw and Harrison didn't look like he was
expecting it. He was going for the fade, and after
the play, Kyler kind of gave him one of these,
(29:13):
you know, shrugging like, hey, what are we doing here?
And then later on second or third quarter, he ran
a good route, he was wide open. Tyler put it
right on him, Dan, and he just dropped it. One
of the worst drops I've ever seen. And I've been
watching Marvin Harrison play football since he was in tenth
(29:34):
grade in Philly High school football. I honestly don't think
I've ever seen him have a drop before. He might
have the best ball skills of any wide receiver prospect
I can remember. It was a blatant drop. Now, credit
to Petsing because the very next play they just ran
a five yard out with Harrison and threw it right
to him just so that he didn't lose it mentally.
(29:55):
But I think, you know, no preseason for these guys
and no matter what what the expectations are, he's still
a rookie. It was still We asked them the day
before the game in the production meetings, you know, what
do you think? And He's like, I got all kinds
of feelings going on. I mean, you know, these are
still twenty one year old kids in their first NFL game,
and I'm not sure, but this way, I'm not saying
(30:18):
Kyler was intentionally not trying to throw it to Marvin
Harrison late, but he certainly hasn't earned and didn't earn
in that game. Hey, this is our guy. I mean,
Kyler was probably looking for Trey McBride or maybe Dorch
or somebody else. I don't think Kyler has that confidence
in Harrison Junior yet, even though he told us the
day before that he did.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Okay, now you got Colorado at Colorado State. Is this
a must win for Dion?
Speaker 8 (30:47):
Absolutely? Yeah. I mean Dan last year they were three
and zero and then they lost the game and it
went off the rails. I mean, they went one to
eight the rest of the season. And it's one of
the things I think that's so interesting about their model
and having this many new players every year and this
many transfer portal additions. How does that group overcome adversity?
(31:10):
How do they fare when things start to go south
if they lose this game, which, by the way, you
know they're telling me it's going to be the biggest
event in the history of Fort Collins, Colorado. They haven't
hosted Colorado in the Rocky Mountain Showdown since nineteen ninety six.
Now you have Dion Sanders and all the attention and
(31:30):
CBS Primetime, all that stuff. Last year, Colorado was three
and zero. What happens if they start this year one
and two and losing Nebraska and Colorado State after beating
them last year. You know, their team is made up
of a lot of guys that have shown they're willing
to go somewhere else, right, I mean, they're all transportal guys.
(31:51):
They're willing to go somewhere. I don't know if that's
a better team or a better situation for them, or
more nil money. I wonder if if coach Prime will
be able to keep this group together the rest of
the season and stay resilient if they lose this one.
They didn't show last year that they could really overcome adversity.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
I'm gonna leave you with this, give you something to
think about. You had Northern Illinois beat Notre Dame. They
got paid one point four million dollars to go in
there and play Notre Dame. They beat Notre Dame. What
if I said to Northern Illinois or any of these
smaller schools, when you go in and you're basically being
paid to be a sacrificial and you can take the money,
(32:33):
or you can take half the money, and then Notre
Dame must go to de Kalb next season, So you
get Notre Dame going to Northern Illinois and you get
half the money, or you just take the one point
four if I added a little spice to these games
where the big guy's picking on the little guy, and
(32:56):
then if you lose, you have to go to their place.
It's a home and home.
Speaker 8 (33:00):
Oh only if only if you win.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Only if you win.
Speaker 8 (33:03):
Oh oh okay, Because I was gonna say, they would
all take that in the heartbeat, you know, because even
like Colorado State Dan, they're geniuses. Right. You can't buy
a single game ticket for this game on Saturday night.
It had to be part of a season ticket package.
You wanted to go to the CUCSU game, you had
to buy some other games as well. That's exactly what
Northern Illinois would do. Like I mean, I think you
(33:27):
know what. It's like anything else going on with college
football these days, Dan, the players and coaches would be
all for it. The administrators would say, no, thanks, we'll
take the guaranteed one point four thank you.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
I know, because I'd like to see these smaller schools
get paid because we know that that helps their entire
athletic department budget. But if you put that on, imagine
Notre Dame. You lose the game, you pay them seven
hundred thousand dollars, but then it'll be it would be
the biggest event in that city's history. If Notre Dame
(33:58):
went to the COWB next year.
Speaker 8 (34:01):
That would be incredible. This is what I love about
college football. I love the upsets and stuff like this,
which is why there's people talking about how the power
for might split off from the Group of five and
they's all kinds of talk about all these different scenarios.
I hope that doesn't happen because quite frankly, the college
football ecosystem, Dan, they need these games, you know, like
(34:26):
the max schools, they need those paydays from the big boys.
And by the way, the big guys, the big programs,
they need these games too. They need games where they're
pretty commident they can win and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Great to talk to you have fun tonight and safe
travels there, Colorado, Colorado State as well.
Speaker 8 (34:47):
Thanks Dan, really appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
That's Ross Tuck or west Wood One, CBS Sports, NFL
college football analyst. I do like that if we gave
you the choice, you can get half of the money
and you can get a home at home with the team.
Speaker 8 (35:02):
That you just beat. Yeah. Me, that'd be good.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
That'd be that'd be fun. Let me take a break,
last call for phone calls, what we learn, what's in
store this day in sports history.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Right after this, be sure to catch the live edition
of The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern
six am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAP.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
More on the Deshaun Watson situation coming up tomorrow, Mike
Florio will join us. In fact, Deshaun Watson was asked
about the latest civil lawsuit against him, and he had
this to say about the front office of the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 14 (35:40):
Now, I can't speak for the fans. I can't speak
for any anybody outside this building, but I know that,
you know, hearing from the haslms and ab and those guys,
I know that they tell me someon every day that they,
you know, support me and got my back and that
they want me to focus on being the best quarterback

there could be a different outcome here and we'll find

Deshaun Monson. Once again, he had. He was sacked six times.

quarterback was close to that number, nor should they be.
