You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Boom, What Up America,
Doug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio. Man, Man, I'm gonna
share with you something personal here that I I I
let people on social media and with stories about my
kids and my family and things like that. Um, I
(00:46):
did something that I had never done. Well, I've done
once before, but with two other people, and I my
dad never did with me. So welcome in. This is
the Doug Gotlip Show, Fox Sports Radio. We got a
great show for you. Joe Clatt will in us craziness
within the Big Ten? Will they finish this season? Wow? Wow? Wow? Um. Plus,
(01:06):
we have a bunch of NFL stuff, including Pat Mahomes
doing Pat Mahomes things, Aaron Rodgers doing Aaron Rodgers things,
and uh, Mitch Drobiski doing Mitch Drabinsky things. Yes, Yes,
Mitch Drabinsky things. Um, but I I want to I
want to talk about something real quick. Ramos has a son.
(01:29):
Um Buyer's wife is pregnant. Congratulations again to Dan. Great
dude is gonna be a great father. And Ryan Music
is just married. So the practicing is in fact the
fun part anyway. So my son is sports kid. He
plays right now. Because there's no football. He does baseball
(01:49):
and basketball, and we've been pretty fortunate we found ways
to play one of the two sports every weekend, many
of them, you know, five six games of hoop in
a weekend and a game or to a baseball on weekend.
He has a big baseball tournament coming up. Actually it's
on I just found out on a Friday as well
as Saturday and Sunday and they'll do baseball. So yeah,
(02:11):
a little bit of a foot issue, and it was Thanksgiving,
so we kind of shut him down. You just need
a break, and so you know what he said, He said, Dad,
I'd really like to play golf with you. See what
I did. I played eighteen holes of golf with my
son and I looked at my cell phone one time,
and it was only because he was on his cell
(02:33):
phone and somebody else became alerted to it and said,
why has he had his cell phone? Right? Anyway, it
was amazing. You know, I didn't grow up playing golf.
I'm not bad at golf. I mean, Buyer is really
more of the golfer. And my dad never played golf
with me. My dad did. My dad was not a
bad dad. He's like, oh, it is terrible. No, like
we did things together. We didn't play golf. Ramos at
(02:57):
some point in time, Buyer at some point in time,
music at some point. And you don't even have to
love golf. It's just the idea of like, hey, we
can talk about whatever we want to talk about here. Anyway,
pretty cool day. Not a great day for Tom Brady
in the Tampay Buccaneers. Now, look, they're gonna make the playoffs,
(03:17):
and the teams they've lost you are the good ones,
especially defensively. I know they lost the Bears aren't good,
but Rams, Chiefs, Saints twice, eight touchdowns, nine interceptions, completion
two fifty two yards passing per game. You have all
different parts of the spectrum speaking out on Tom Brady.
Some are saying, look he's washed up. Tony Romo is
making excuses others dan Orlovski, Amen, this offense bad fit.
(03:42):
Tony Romo acting like a surrogate for Tom Brady's army,
pointing out the flaws within the offense. It's pretty obvious
to anybody who likes, respects, and understands what's made Brady
an old time great, understands what's lacking, what's missing in
the Tampa Buccaneers offense. You know what's missing in the
(04:05):
Tampa Buccaneers offense. And it's not just Brady. It's not
just the brunning game. It's not just Hey, maybe their
defense is a little overrated. It's the cohesion between the two.
But you know what I've noticed recently. I've noticed that
it went from a marriage that probably won't produce a
(04:27):
Super Bowl to one that is going to end in
an ugly divorce. That's how quickly this thing feels like.
Now you have in the NFL what's called in all
sports a get right game. If you're familiar without a
get right game is a get right game is when
you have opponents that there's no chance you're gonna lose to.
They have the third easiest remaining schedule in the National
(04:49):
Football Like now, part of that is the Atlanta Falcons,
who just who just stomped a good team. The Raiders
are a team we thought was a good team, so
they have some get right game Tame is coming up.
But Tom Brady three touchdowns, two interceptions, another loss, another
home loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. In fairness, they've
only lost to good teams are good defenses. The Bears
(05:10):
aren't a good team, but they do have a very
good defense. The other ones are all playoff teams and
teams that you could you could foresee having a chance
to play for a Super Bowl. So all of those
things should kind of give you energy to really believe
that the Buccaneers still have a chance. But when I
hear Tony so here's the difference. Do you guys remember,
(05:32):
once you jog your memory a little bit, do you
guys remember when um, the Bears. I think we're playing
the Rams on National TV on Monday Night football. And uh,
Brian Greasy as an analyst, gotten a little bit of
trouble because he said that Matt Naggy called plays that
(05:54):
Nick Foles knew wouldn't protect him, wouldn't work. Remember that
a Okay, the way it usually works is what happened
with Brady and Romo, not what happened with Fools and Greasy.
Usually a quarterback tells another quarterback, hey man, he keeps
calling stuff that ain't gonna work. Doesn't our our lines not,
(06:17):
doesn't protect enough. I'm not athletic enough. Our wide receivers
aren't getting open well enough. The timing of it, we like.
He's running plays to just call plays, not plays that
fit what I need, when I needed how I needed right.
And usually Greasy changes that and says, here's what I think.
It feels like. This is what a lot of guys say.
(06:37):
It feels like Matt Nagy is calling plays that don't
quite fit what Nick Foles needs, wants or or or
has to feel good about. That's what happened in the
Buccaneers game. Brady has always been close to Romo. Don't
believe me. How do you think Romo knew all the plays,
what was going on in England? I mean, do you
(06:58):
think he just studied film after a Metro film and
knew what play was calling. No, he and Brady are
clearly boys right there, the exclusive there in whatever skull
you know that remember that movie skulls Ramos remembers it, right,
like the secret Society of Yale skulls. Um, what's it
called at the it's supposed to be at like the
(07:19):
government level. That there's that Dan Brown movie about where
that everything's got the pyramid in it. You know what
does that? What does that called? With the eye coming
out of illuminati? Right, there's like a football illuminati, That's
what there is. There's a football illuminati where everybody those
guys know each other. And Romo spent the entire game
(07:39):
pointing out the flaws within Bruce Arians offense, Brudy Brady's
airmil and like there's a play when Antonio Brown is
lined up in the backfield and he's the hot route
and he's supposed to get out wide instead he he's
far too narrow, which Dani Rolovski has pointed out, like, yeah,
(08:02):
he's right, he's far too narrow. Whatever Roma point. The
point is that even if he was in the right spot,
go go, gadget, arms couldn't caught that football was thrown
out of bounds and he wasn't trying to throw it
out of bounds. Romo wasn't wrong, but he was placing
all of the blame on the offense of Bruce Arians,
(08:23):
which at work the play calling a buyer left, which
which clearly means that Brady had gotten to him and
that he probably agrees with him, And here's the smart
way to do it instead of what Greecey did, which
gets the quarterback in trouble and makes the head coach
look bad. Take a listen to Tom Brady after the
games saying all the right things. No, it's just the
external noise that when you're losing. You know, that's what
(08:46):
you deal with. So you know, I love plan for
for the guys that I played with. The coaches, the
whole organization has been unbelievable, and I think, what you know,
I just gotta go out and I certainly have to
do a better job of the last four weeks the year,
so I appreciate it. Have a good week. Yeah, I mean, like, look,
he's saying all the right things, but I just we
I'm gonna warn you from doing this for a long time.
(09:09):
What people say, that's what actually made Arians is comments
about Brady so weird. Everybody says the right thing about there.
We're gonna get it a little bit later into the
rams because generally Sean McVeigh says the perfect thing. When
it goes right, it's about the players. When it goes wrong,
it's about the coaches. He he lost a little bit
(09:30):
of that yesterday showing that he's truly frustrated. But I
this is there's no proof in anything from what a
quarterback says when he says the exact right thing. Tom
Brady is a terrific quarterback. Tom Brady has been doing
this a long time. Tom knows that a full frontal
assault of Bruce arians in the media does him know, does,
(09:54):
has no advantages to him, doesn't doesn't fit him well.
And he didn't throw terribly. I used yards three TVs
two interceptions, but there were some misses that were just bad,
just bad. And there's a disconnect there between play color
and quarterback, and there's a feeling that the offense isn't
getting better. It's the same old, same old against the
(10:17):
better team. They got tons of talent that just the
talent doesn't all fit together with how Brady wants to
play or how the plays are in fact called. But
what you heard yesterday from Tony Romo is that that's
the that's the f you right back at Bruce areas. Oh,
we want to use the media. Here's how you use
the media smartly. Here's how I'll point out all of you.
(10:38):
You want to talk about my flaws getting confused at
the line of scrimmage and not throwing the deep. Oh well,
I'll point out all of your flaws, but I'll simply
do it smartly by going through Tony Romo. Because normally
Arians not gonna watch the TV copy, right, they watched
the All twenty two, They got all these other cameras.
They don't need it. But I guarantee somebody's like, did
your rome said about you and the AL twenty two
(11:03):
in the TV copy? Now in here, what do you
say somebody? And it gets relayed to him he is
like really, then I'll queue it up and watching himself
and Bruce Arians right now sitting there and knowing that
Tom Brady did the political thing. I don't have to
say it. I can get somebody else to say everything
I'm thinking and then have video to prove it. And
then I'll say a lord things of the podium, right,
(11:26):
I love my teammates, love my coaches. Smiling as he
stabs you right in the back. That's what they do.
The genius politician. That's what they do. You wanna play games,
will play games. You wanna play football, Let's play football.
And what usually happens in these types of relationships, Look,
you're not gonna live up to anyone's expectations, reasonable or otherwise,
(11:48):
and and then it ultimately ends in a bad relationship.
Now does Brady come back next year? Did the expectations
go up to the level off? Do people think he's old?
Did they start talking about him? What do you do
with arians? Do you bring him back? He's talking about
retiring the very confusing thing. I didn't think it would
(12:09):
end in a Super Bowl and thought it would end
as a guy who chased it and found out it
wasn't all that happy on the other side, but it
would end fine. Now I think it's gonna end ugly.
I just do. Don't believe me. I got Tony Romo's comments,
which I believe came on some level from Brady and
Brady's people to back that up. Coming up next, it's
officially over for this NFL quarterback and potentially this head coach.
(12:34):
And it's pretty easy based upon what we saw yesterday.
I'll explain next. Be sure to catch the live edition
of The Doug gott Leap Show weekdays at three p m.
Easter noon Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I
Heart Radio WAPP. I have friends in the Bears organization,
and I think they're generally good people, um and I
(12:55):
feel like what's happened to them is what happened to
Mac Brown at the end of a EXAs. You know,
if you don't have a quarterback and you got to
pick a quarterback and that quarterbacks, it just makes you
look like a bad coach. That's really kind of what
it comes down to that no amount of play calling
(13:15):
can change it. You just it looks like about you
look like a poorly coach team. And you know, Matt
Naggie urges the Bears to wake up and have some
personal pride. Quote, I know this, we're better. We we
better wake our tails up, Naggi said in a Monday
Zoom call. Every freaking coach and staff, every player better
(13:36):
wake up. Start understanding where we're at and have some
personal pride. Have some freaking sense of urgency. Know where
we're at, have some pride into what we're playing for
and why we do this, and find a way to
go win. As a team. This is my challenge to
every single person in the UH in that building this week,
is that yesterday was flat out embarrassing. Our guys know it.
(14:00):
I'm not telling you something they don't know. They know it.
We're gonna step up in all coaches and players. We
got five games left for us. It's our personal challenge
where we're at and how we're gonna do this thing.
But that performance yesterday is ridiculous and can happen. Obviously
it starts with Menaggie, Look, his quarterback is not good enough.
(14:23):
You know this is it's the Jags with Bortles. It's
it doesn't matter how many other What happens with a
great defense is at some point they go like, come on, man,
you know and and and I'm willing, I'm willing to
be honest with you and say the first drive was great.
Then they get down to the end zone and Trabinsky
(14:44):
through two balls which wide receivers should have caught, and
congratulations to the Green Bay Packers. They broke up both
passes after they were both secured. And and I'd also
be honest and say like, look, Rabinsky is a guy
who struggled with self confidence, and he's a guy who
when you struggle with self confidence, and somebody says, and
(15:04):
and you got off to a great start, you score
a touchdown, you're probably gonna play better. Where instead he
plays perfect football, throws two absolute strikes in the end zone.
They both end up on the turf, and did they
get a field goal? And all of a sudden, before
you know it, you're down. It was six to three
because the Packers missed their first extra point, and then
you're down two touchdowns. And this is where, all of
(15:26):
a sudden, you know, he loses his confidence, He gets
out of sorts, he can't read a defense. He throws
into double coverage. The next drive they're driving well, and
then they just got the play Colling just got. He
shouldn't have thrown the football into double coverage, but it
felt they were doing a great job of being conservative.
Dank dunk, Nicolin daimio. And then hey, let's take a
big shot. Why why, what's the point of that? Terrible
(15:54):
but you do that because you know, I don't get
that good a quarterback. We gotta just let's try and steal,
but steal, explode us a play, read something. I mean,
he threw one in the double coverage interception, one of
a triple coverage interception. That's just it's over. So look,
it's over for Drabinsky, and it probably means it's over
for Naggy because when the guys stopped competing for you,
(16:17):
even when it's not your fault, then there's no bringing
you back with a different quarterback like Anthony Lynn. It
was pretty embarrassing what happened down at the end of
that game, and it does feel like the Chargers will
be at least partially in the market for a new coach,
but they're still playing hard for him. The Bears have
a great defense, and they played hard for about a
(16:38):
quarter and they're like, forget this right, like we have
we literally have no chance. We've been busting our bucks
for ten weeks. They've been trying to figure out the offense.
They circle back around the mitch and dudes throwing balls
where nobody can catch them, and look, I would be
(16:58):
I'll be fair and say that we don't know which
of those balls. Tony dun I love Tony Dungee. He
is an absolute mention of a man, and he was
for the most part not hypercritical almost anything that was
that that was not as good a watch as it
could have been had. I think they put Sims in
there because they don't have collins Worth. Because colins Worth
(17:20):
was set to do um. I think he said to
do Baltimore and Pittsburgh when and then that one when
that got delayed. He was gonna do that on Thursday.
Now he's gonna do it on Tuesday. Excuse me, a Sunday,
and he's gonna on Tuesday. But we didn't get the alright,
the wide receiver actually ran the round round here what
the actual problem was. But it's pretty obvious that it's
(17:46):
over there, and it's probably over Naggie because the guys
have stopped. The defense is beloved. Defense isn't playing nearly
as hard as consistently because I think even they've had
it and we had no offense, we got no shot,
and it just shows you miss on that position. It's
one of those really one of those things you gotta
be careful about drafting that position. You miss on that position,
you always play that position, and if the guy can't play,
(18:08):
you put a ball cap on him and he stands
over there in the sidelines right Whereas if you miss
on the left tackle, the guy can become a right
tackle or guard. You can still find some use for him,
and it's not as big of a sore thumb. If
you will, be sure to catch the live edition of
the Doug gott Leap Show weekdays at three p m.
Easter noon Pacific. He is the head coach of Lipscomb Academy.
(18:28):
I think they played for a state championship this weekend,
or maybe no, it's next weekend, right, they had the
Thanksgiving week off. Seen next weekend they played for the
state championship in the state of Tennessee. He of course
a Super Bowl champion, Presido State Bulldog. UH. Former top
five pick in the NFL Draft. He's the one and
only Trent Dilford. Trent, how's your Thanksgiving? Good? It's really good.
(18:49):
Uh didn't overcook the bird? That was the bad. That
was the big thing. Usually that's a problem in any
house I've ever been in. And we had a Omaha
Steaks gave us a meat thermometer and it worked to
a charm so pretty you can get slow and use there.
There there you go. Um, Okay, let's let's get to
the brady thing. Now here's what I shared and you
(19:12):
can hop in wherever you feel see fit. So just
so you know when when Trent took on, when when
you entered media, and you tell me if I'm wrong,
what you saw was a need, a need for somebody
who had played the position, knew the position, studied the
position of quarterback, and could communicate to the average Joe
(19:34):
what is special about the greats, what they do right,
what they do wrong right. That's when you got into it.
So you can speak to this way more than I can.
I I watched Brady struggle some yesterday. It wasn't terrible,
but there were some misses that you just don't see
from him. I listened to Romo and I figure that Brady,
most likely they're tight. There's like there's some illuminati for quarterbacks,
(19:58):
which I don't know. Because you want a super bowlf,
you're part of it. Right. Maybe it's the guys he
shakes hands with. I don't know, but those guys seem
to communicate with each other. And he was relaying to
everybody in America that this offense is not the right
offense and not the right play calls for Tom Brady.
Is that a fair possibility of how and why it
went down? Yeah? I think that's reasonable, if not likely,
(20:23):
So I think I'll build on it. I think, okay.
So when you say the offense, there's not an offense
on the planet that Tom Brady can't run and run
two with with excellence. Um. But play calling is paramount
for any quarterback. The sympatica relationship between play caller and
(20:44):
quarterback is, without a doubt, the most important aspect of
getting the most out of your quarterback. You can have
crappy play calling the quarterback and manage through it and
find his way through it for a game to three,
but to get great play from your quarterback at him
in the play caller have to be on the same page.
What is happening here is this is why when we
(21:05):
were asked all these questions when Brady signed with Tampa,
what's the fit going to be? Like? In the term
I use because I didn't want to. I like Bruce,
and I like Byron and Tom and I have been
friends forever. I didn't want to be controversial because I'm
not in the media all the time. Now, I said, interesting, Now,
my gut was that it was going to be a
disaster because Byron and Bruce, the reason they're they're connected
(21:28):
at the hip is because they both live by the machete. Okay,
so both of them, their entire careers are big play,
chunk play, take the machete out and shop the opponent's
head off with it. That's just how they believe offensive
football should be played. Tom Brady uses surgical tools and kills.
You buy a thousand cuts and that's his DNA. And
(21:49):
I'm like, there's no way a machete and a scalpel
worked together. Like they likee s are perfect. Those are
great analogies. Yeah, they don't. Like one has been the
grace of all time because he takes out his scalpel
and he cuts you a bunch of times. You don't
even know you're bleeding until you look down and you go,
oh my gosh, my shoes are on a puddle of blood.
(22:09):
That's what he's done to defense is his whole career.
And they have these guys calling the game that are like, oh,
they're just looking all they're looking at his safeties and
all Tom Brady is looking at his linebackers. Think of
it that simple. Tom Brady is looking at linebackers, cloud corners.
How do I dissect him? How do I frustrate him.
How do I spin them like tops. We'll go nine plays,
(22:31):
seventy two yards and four and a half minute and
finished with a touchdown. The defense will think they're winning,
and Bruce and Byron are like, okay, well the safety
is going, oh he's too tight. Oh that corner is aggressive.
Let's double move him. Let's run stems, Let's run double
post combinations. That's how they've always called the passing game.
And when Carson Palmer first got with Bruce, arians called
me and said, holy crud, this guy wants to take
(22:53):
a shot on every single play, every single play as
a verbal aspect to it. He'd be a great guest
to get on, by the way, if you can find
him in his side out now that he's amazing fly
fishes every day and yeah, he's amazing. And he could
tell you this because he was mind blowing on Bruce's offense.
And what you're seeing is the play calling. Tom's like,
(23:15):
wait a second, I just hit a chunk play. Why
are you coming up with another one? And you can
almost see the frustration in his eyes, like where's the
option route, where's the swing to the back, where's the
shallow cross? And instead it's every play is like, holy smokes,
you've got Evans going for I got Brown going vertical,
Like why can't I just run a crossing route to
(23:35):
the tight end and let him run for fourteen yards
after I hit him with a perfect task. And and
that's what you're seeing now at times when they're running
the ball, well, those vertical shots are there. And Tom's
been successful with him. I don't mean the bombs. I
mean more of the PUREC fifty five throws. But really,
to get the most out of Tom Brady, he kind
of have to cave to his way of playing football
(23:57):
and called the game around him. And by the way,
he'll probably get a Super Bowl if you do that.
But but but is it? Is? It? Is it stubbornness?
Why won't Tampa evolve? Why won't they meet him in
the middle? Why won't they change some of those play caffs? Okay,
so I'll give you a personal experience. It's very hard
(24:18):
to look at the game differently than you've grown up
looking at it. So I kind of look at the
game like Tom looks at the game. I've just believed
that death by a thousand cuts is the best way
to call a game. I have now the big time
quarterback right here in high school. And he is a
really gifted vertical passer, so I've had to change around him.
(24:38):
So I've had to now look as I'm forty eight
years old, I've been around football my whole life, and
I'm learning a new way of looking at it because
of the seventeen year old kid. But it's the right
thing to do to get the most out of my kids.
And we last week before then a half in the
state semis. I threw up fifty two yard bomb and
then the half and he dined it in there for
(24:59):
the touch out first soft coverage, but he set it
into a small place because that's what he does well.
And that's what Bruce and Byron have to do. They
have to start looking at the game through Tom's lens.
Can they do it? Yeah? I think Tom was a
way of making you do those things. I go back
to the famous game when I said the Patriots were
done against the Kansas City Chiefs, and it was much
(25:21):
like this were almost situation. Toma told me some stuff
before the game. They were doing different things offensively and
it was not fitting. And Tom was able to get Josh.
Of course, the here to get them back to doing
what they do best. And I fully believe that that's
what's gonna happen here in Tampa, that Tom will get
them his way more than he'll go their way. I
know Aaron Rodgers was amazing, and I don't want to
(25:43):
take anything away from it, but the juxtaposition of watching
Aaron Rodgers play the same position as Mitchell Trobiski last
night was was Yeah, that was yes, same position, different
solar same league, different solar system. UM. I do think
that the two drops in the end zone in the
first drive affected Drabinsky, right, a guy just searching for confidence,
(26:05):
and they end up with a field goal. Then they're down.
You know, they're basically down two touchdowns before he gets
the ball back a second time. UM, but there's just
you know, it felt like the team kind of threw
up their hands, is like this ain't it and they
kind of they kind of quit on the quarterback and
quit on the coach last night. Am I overselling what
I saw? Nope? And I hardly ever used the Q
(26:25):
word in the NFL, But yeah, you definitely saw a
team that's just disheartened with the quarterback played disheartened with UM.
Just the whole vibe around Trabisky. Remember, he's a young
kid that left a year sooner than he should have,
got overdrafted, hadn't played a lot of college snaps, so
(26:46):
hadn't been the quarterback. And this is always a big conversation.
Being the quarterback is more than playing the position. Being
the quarterback is leading a team meeting. Being the quarterback
is faced adversity. Being the quarterback has has layers upon
layers on it, and he just wasn't the quarterback very
much in college. So he goes to the NFL and
(27:06):
he doesn't have those pelts on the wall of being
the quarterback, and an NFL locker room will see right
through that. So I think a lot of that is
that is what's going on there. Stuff we don't see
Monday through Saturday. And then he's just not as talented
as everybody said he would be. Now, he's a gifted
athlete and he could develop into a good player if
he was given time. But you're seeing a lot of
(27:29):
his um flaws um exposed um and magnified is the
word I'm looking for. Magnified because the situation he's in
it it's just a bad deal all the way. Around.
I really think the coach is a good person. I
think he's a good coach. I think they him and
him and the GM just went too far in on
(27:50):
this kid and then tried to save it with the
FULLS thing and everybody knew that wasn't gonna work. Nothing
just needs to be rebooted. Yeah, I tend to agree. Um,
where does does Matt Stafford finish his career in Detroit? No?
I think he goes somewhere else. I mean, I think
they cut bait. I do think he's still talented enough
(28:10):
and really respected by the way. That's the thing. But
you know there's you talked about the Illuminati quarterback thing
like that's kind of true. And you know, you also
know which guys are really respected around the league, and
Matt matthew is one of those guys. Um, so he'll
find another landing spot. But I think everything has to
just be blowing up in Detroit. Tend to tend to
(28:31):
agree with you. You You didn't have any eligibility to play
for Denver. What what must that have been like for
hinting to come up to a game with no reps
and try and play against the NFL defense. I can't
imagine it. My mind was blown by that whole thing.
I mean, I can't. It's hard enough when you get
every rep. It's hard enough for us average guys to
you know, get ready to play our best football against
(28:52):
a really good opponent weekend and week out, to not
take any reps and be a quarterback on the roster,
and to be at Bethrow just taking the just getting
the snap operation. Um, the whole thing was mind boggling.
I really thought. What threw me off was they came
out with Lindsay is kind of the Wildcat. They should
have just played that whole game in the wildcat and
(29:14):
just said we're going to run at fifty times and
you know you're gonna lose, Right, there's no way you're
going to beat the Saints. Why not just try to
shorten the game, play the wildcat, get some good rushing attempts,
not even play a quarterback in the game. Um, that's
what I would have done. But that was it. I
couldn't believe that thing actually happened. Well, there's I mean
(29:35):
that you can't bring anybody in. You know, they had
to be quarantined for six days, you like physically can't
and they had no, they hadn't. They literally no other options.
It's like the opposite of youth football. Does anybody want
to play quarterback? And everybody step takes a step back
and staid takes a step forward like they do when
when they're when they're little kids. Doug out the show
(29:55):
here on Fox Sports Radio. That's the voice of of
Trent Dilfer. Trent, I got a bunch of other quick ones.
What what do the Niners do to take apart uh
the Rams? And specifically to Jared Goff, who really really
struck the Niners clearly have the Rams number um. Short
(30:18):
answer is they've read their mail before it was opened.
They just know what the Rams are gonna do. The
Rams use so much Mike Shanahan, not even Carl Shanahan,
Mike Shanahan stuff um that throws people off, Like we
see this every day in practice, Like we hear about
(30:40):
this in training camp. There's nothing you're doing that we
don't know the answers to the test before you give
us the test. It's just a really bad matchup for
the Rams. Terrible wait. Which is interesting because the Rams
dismantled Seattle with their defensive line, dismantled the Buccaneers with
their defensive line like and they and and and really
there was a time there in the third quarter where
(31:01):
I mean, Nick Bollins is not good and it looked
like Aaron Donald did done it again, but they couldn't
capitalize on those on on suddenly having momentum. Yeah, it's
it's again, you said, short answer. You know me, I
can go on. The quickest way of saying it is
that when you're game planning for a team at any level,
there's certain weeks like, oh gosh, we got this, like
(31:24):
we know them better than they know themselves. And that's
how the FOI and I ares go about the Ramps.
Great stuff, man, best of luck this week. Um, don't
come home without a state championship. We'll talk to you
next week. Thanks for appreciate you. It's trendal for joining

(32:29):
Hey Doug. The game today is big deal, little deal,
no deal. Alright, big deal, little deal or no deal
that ESPN reports the Broncos had no new positive COVID
results in testing from Sunday, So all the tests were negative. Um, yes, no,
no new one. No, I understand it. Um, I liked
(32:50):
what Dan Orlovsky had a sautnd did you guys see
that they He's basically calling out Blake Portals and calling
out Drew Lock like, look, dude, you guys got your chance.
You weren't ready, you didn't wear your mask. We don't
know how they contacted it, but it stands the reason
that all those quarterbacks in the same quarterback room. You know,
one guy's a super spreader, spreads at all of them.
But if you're wearing your mask indoors, granted, uncomfortable, but
(33:11):
maybe it keeps you safe. Big deal, a little deal
or no deal? That will be playing their next two
games is the home team in Arizona. Feels like a
big deal. They're doing it because he can't play in
that county right Yes, And they haven't even figured out
a practice plan as of right now. They don't even
know if they can practice in Santa Clara or what
that That's not the most bizarre story I've heard. The
(33:32):
University of New Mexico's men's basketball team is in Texas
and they're practicing in a junior college and they only
have two games currently on their schedule locked in and
they're like looking for opponents. That's a real story, and
so so an NFL team playing a couple of games
doesn't feel as big as that one. Well, the New
Mexico football team has been in Las Vegas this season
(33:53):
because of the state's protocol. Same New Mexico State, I think,
is in Phoenix, UH for their hoops team. Big deal,
a little deal or no deal? Doug that the NFL
announced that their Saturday schedule for the day after Christmas
December will feature the Forts and Cardinals playing in a
game that will only be available via stream, Amazon Prime
(34:14):
or Twitch. Is that a big deal? Little deal or
no deal? Big deal? Way with the future right, And
the question becomes, so my question is, and I think
is CBS gonna produce that? Is that is gonna do it?
I think it's it's I think it would be a
Fox game. Um, but I don't quote me on that,
but I just know that the well, look, the big
(34:35):
question is what happens with CBS, ESPN, Abc, I mean
most most likely CBS and Fox because now CBS is
Viacom now, so it could be sold out, but it
might not with Fox. Like what what I don't think
it's crazy to see happen is an Amazon or a
(34:56):
Yahoo or a Google or a Facebook, Twitch or Twitter.
They end up buying all the Fox and then Fox
becomes um like the the TV production arm for Amazon,
for example, because they have all the money. That's where
all the money is. And it wouldn't stun me if
(35:16):
they bought You know, we don't have the wherewithal to
to do games. We need somebody. So instead of hiring
a bunch of people to do games. We'll just do it.
We'll just let's just buy Fox and let them keep
their shop and maybe we streamlined some stuff and and
use them as our production arm. Doug, Big deal, a
little deal or no deal? That Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick
went nine two fifty seven yards and two touchdowns and
(35:39):
yesterday's went over the Jets, so he won both games
against the Jets. Ryan Fitzpatrick against the Jets is pretty awesome. Um,
it was. It's curious though that they're you're not seeing
to it to a right. I mean, that's Brian Forest
says that to us. Still is guy, if he's healthy,
still my guy. It's just not healthy, not just not healthy.
There's always that caveat Big deal, a little deal or
(36:00):
no deal? That Northwestern essentially locked up a spot in
the Big Ten title game because their game against Minnesota
this week was canceled. That's a big deal. Plus what
happens to Ohio State. Can Ohio State find an opponent
if their game against Michigan is canceled? Big things in
the Big Ten? And we don't have answers from you. Yeah,
I don't know the Buck because the Buck has had
late tests last week against Illinois, So I don't know
how then you end up turning around and playing this
(36:23):
weekend against Michigan State as well. We shall see big deal,
a little deal or no deal that the Maui Invitational
is being held in Asheville, North Carolina. Uh right, now,
by the way, we gotta get it on one of
your TVs. But that's a big deal. That's a huge,
(36:44):
huge deal, um, because it's always that, that has always
been um um, that has always always been the biggest
tournament of the we we used to call it the preseason.
Now you called the nonconference season and do it in
as It's just it's fascinating. You know, you'd have j
(37:04):
billis Lahinah Civic Center. I never got to play in
it because what happened was Oaklahoma State went there in
ninety four. That was year they went to the Final
four and looked terrible, left their game on the beach,
and coach Sutton wind go back for like a decade.
So yeah, I mean, like, this is a big, big
tournament and you get a chance to see these teams
playing it. Alright. Finally, Doug, big deal, a little deal
or no deal that college Basketball's top five in the
(37:27):
latest state. People are from the Big Ten, Iowa, Wisconsin,
Illinois at three five behind Gonsega and Baylor. It's a
little deal. I mean ultimately that I'll even up. Those
Big Ten teams all played at home, and Illinois nearly
lost to Ohio. You they one by one point. Some
of that is a more factor of the schedule than
how good they are. They they're the league is good.
Michigan State is very good. I would can really really score.
(37:50):
Wisconsin is very good. But a lot of it is
a product of those teams that have played. They played
three home games against teams that needed games. Game time.
On the Duck Gotlieb Show, all right, coming up next,
we're gonna take you to Tampa. Not for the super Bowl.
I don't know if we're going with anybody going to
the super Bowl. Well, we know the Buccaneers don't look
(38:11):
like a team that's gonna host the first ever Super
Bowl as a host team. But how dysfunctional is it
between Brady and Arians and what happened to the defense.
We'll find out. We'll take it to Tampa next in

You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Boom, What Up America,
Doug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio. Man, Man, I'm gonna
share with you something personal here that I I I
let people on social media and with stories about my
kids and my family and things like that. Um, I
(00:46):
did something that I had never done. Well, I've done
once before, but with two other people, and I my
dad never did with me. So welcome in. This is
the Doug Gotlip Show, Fox Sports Radio. We got a
great show for you. Joe Clatt will in us craziness
within the Big Ten? Will they finish this season? Wow? Wow? Wow? Um. Plus,
(01:06):
we have a bunch of NFL stuff, including Pat Mahomes
doing Pat Mahomes things, Aaron Rodgers doing Aaron Rodgers things,
and uh, Mitch Drobiski doing Mitch Drabinsky things. Yes, Yes,
Mitch Drabinsky things. Um, but I I want to I
want to talk about something real quick. Ramos has a son.
(01:29):
Um Buyer's wife is pregnant. Congratulations again to Dan. Great
dude is gonna be a great father. And Ryan Music
is just married. So the practicing is in fact the
fun part anyway. So my son is sports kid. He
plays right now. Because there's no football. He does baseball
(01:49):
and basketball, and we've been pretty fortunate we found ways
to play one of the two sports every weekend, many
of them, you know, five six games of hoop in
a weekend and a game or to a baseball on weekend.
He has a big baseball tournament coming up. Actually it's
on I just found out on a Friday as well
as Saturday and Sunday and they'll do baseball. So yeah,
(02:11):
a little bit of a foot issue, and it was Thanksgiving,
so we kind of shut him down. You just need
a break, and so you know what he said, He said, Dad,
I'd really like to play golf with you. See what
I did. I played eighteen holes of golf with my
son and I looked at my cell phone one time,
and it was only because he was on his cell
(02:33):
phone and somebody else became alerted to it and said,
why has he had his cell phone? Right? Anyway, it
was amazing. You know, I didn't grow up playing golf.
I'm not bad at golf. I mean, Buyer is really
more of the golfer. And my dad never played golf
with me. My dad did. My dad was not a
bad dad. He's like, oh, it is terrible. No, like
we did things together. We didn't play golf. Ramos at
(02:57):
some point in time, Buyer at some point in time,
music at some point. And you don't even have to
love golf. It's just the idea of like, hey, we
can talk about whatever we want to talk about here. Anyway,
pretty cool day. Not a great day for Tom Brady
in the Tampay Buccaneers. Now, look, they're gonna make the playoffs,
(03:17):
and the teams they've lost you are the good ones,
especially defensively. I know they lost the Bears aren't good,
but Rams, Chiefs, Saints twice, eight touchdowns, nine interceptions, completion
two fifty two yards passing per game. You have all
different parts of the spectrum speaking out on Tom Brady.
Some are saying, look he's washed up. Tony Romo is
making excuses others dan Orlovski, Amen, this offense bad fit.
(03:42):
Tony Romo acting like a surrogate for Tom Brady's army,
pointing out the flaws within the offense. It's pretty obvious
to anybody who likes, respects, and understands what's made Brady
an old time great, understands what's lacking, what's missing in
the Tampa Buccaneers offense. You know what's missing in the
(04:05):
Tampa Buccaneers offense. And it's not just Brady. It's not
just the brunning game. It's not just Hey, maybe their
defense is a little overrated. It's the cohesion between the two.
But you know what I've noticed recently. I've noticed that
it went from a marriage that probably won't produce a
(04:27):
Super Bowl to one that is going to end in
an ugly divorce. That's how quickly this thing feels like.
Now you have in the NFL what's called in all
sports a get right game. If you're familiar without a
get right game is a get right game is when
you have opponents that there's no chance you're gonna lose to.
They have the third easiest remaining schedule in the National
(04:49):
Football Like now, part of that is the Atlanta Falcons,
who just who just stomped a good team. The Raiders
are a team we thought was a good team, so
they have some get right game Tame is coming up.
But Tom Brady three touchdowns, two interceptions, another loss, another
home loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. In fairness, they've
only lost to good teams are good defenses. The Bears
(05:10):
aren't a good team, but they do have a very
good defense. The other ones are all playoff teams and
teams that you could you could foresee having a chance
to play for a Super Bowl. So all of those
things should kind of give you energy to really believe
that the Buccaneers still have a chance. But when I
hear Tony so here's the difference. Do you guys remember,
(05:32):
once you jog your memory a little bit, do you
guys remember when um, the Bears. I think we're playing
the Rams on National TV on Monday Night football. And uh,
Brian Greasy as an analyst, gotten a little bit of
trouble because he said that Matt Naggy called plays that
(05:54):
Nick Foles knew wouldn't protect him, wouldn't work. Remember that
a Okay, the way it usually works is what happened
with Brady and Romo, not what happened with Fools and Greasy.
Usually a quarterback tells another quarterback, hey man, he keeps
calling stuff that ain't gonna work. Doesn't our our lines not,
(06:17):
doesn't protect enough. I'm not athletic enough. Our wide receivers
aren't getting open well enough. The timing of it, we like.
He's running plays to just call plays, not plays that
fit what I need, when I needed how I needed right.
And usually Greasy changes that and says, here's what I think.
It feels like. This is what a lot of guys say.
(06:37):
It feels like Matt Nagy is calling plays that don't
quite fit what Nick Foles needs, wants or or or
has to feel good about. That's what happened in the
Buccaneers game. Brady has always been close to Romo. Don't
believe me. How do you think Romo knew all the plays,
what was going on in England? I mean, do you
(06:58):
think he just studied film after a Metro film and
knew what play was calling. No, he and Brady are
clearly boys right there, the exclusive there in whatever skull
you know that remember that movie skulls Ramos remembers it, right,
like the secret Society of Yale skulls. Um, what's it
called at the it's supposed to be at like the
(07:19):
government level. That there's that Dan Brown movie about where
that everything's got the pyramid in it. You know what
does that? What does that called? With the eye coming
out of illuminati? Right, there's like a football illuminati, That's
what there is. There's a football illuminati where everybody those
guys know each other. And Romo spent the entire game
(07:39):
pointing out the flaws within Bruce Arians offense, Brudy Brady's
airmil and like there's a play when Antonio Brown is
lined up in the backfield and he's the hot route
and he's supposed to get out wide instead he he's
far too narrow, which Dani Rolovski has pointed out, like, yeah,
(08:02):
he's right, he's far too narrow. Whatever Roma point. The
point is that even if he was in the right spot,
go go, gadget, arms couldn't caught that football was thrown
out of bounds and he wasn't trying to throw it
out of bounds. Romo wasn't wrong, but he was placing
all of the blame on the offense of Bruce Arians,
(08:23):
which at work the play calling a buyer left, which
which clearly means that Brady had gotten to him and
that he probably agrees with him, And here's the smart
way to do it instead of what Greecey did, which
gets the quarterback in trouble and makes the head coach
look bad. Take a listen to Tom Brady after the
games saying all the right things. No, it's just the
external noise that when you're losing. You know, that's what
(08:46):
you deal with. So you know, I love plan for
for the guys that I played with. The coaches, the
whole organization has been unbelievable, and I think, what you know,
I just gotta go out and I certainly have to
do a better job of the last four weeks the year,
so I appreciate it. Have a good week. Yeah, I mean, like, look,
he's saying all the right things, but I just we
I'm gonna warn you from doing this for a long time.
(09:09):
What people say, that's what actually made Arians is comments
about Brady so weird. Everybody says the right thing about there.
We're gonna get it a little bit later into the
rams because generally Sean McVeigh says the perfect thing. When
it goes right, it's about the players. When it goes wrong,
it's about the coaches. He he lost a little bit
(09:30):
of that yesterday showing that he's truly frustrated. But I
this is there's no proof in anything from what a
quarterback says when he says the exact right thing. Tom
Brady is a terrific quarterback. Tom Brady has been doing
this a long time. Tom knows that a full frontal
assault of Bruce arians in the media does him know, does,
(09:54):
has no advantages to him, doesn't doesn't fit him well.
And he didn't throw terribly. I used yards three TVs
two interceptions, but there were some misses that were just bad,
just bad. And there's a disconnect there between play color
and quarterback, and there's a feeling that the offense isn't
getting better. It's the same old, same old against the
(10:17):
better team. They got tons of talent that just the
talent doesn't all fit together with how Brady wants to
play or how the plays are in fact called. But
what you heard yesterday from Tony Romo is that that's
the that's the f you right back at Bruce areas. Oh,
we want to use the media. Here's how you use
the media smartly. Here's how I'll point out all of you.
(10:38):
You want to talk about my flaws getting confused at
the line of scrimmage and not throwing the deep. Oh well,
I'll point out all of your flaws, but I'll simply
do it smartly by going through Tony Romo. Because normally
Arians not gonna watch the TV copy, right, they watched
the All twenty two, They got all these other cameras.
They don't need it. But I guarantee somebody's like, did
your rome said about you and the AL twenty two
(11:03):
in the TV copy? Now in here, what do you
say somebody? And it gets relayed to him he is
like really, then I'll queue it up and watching himself
and Bruce Arians right now sitting there and knowing that
Tom Brady did the political thing. I don't have to
say it. I can get somebody else to say everything
I'm thinking and then have video to prove it. And
then I'll say a lord things of the podium, right,
(11:26):
I love my teammates, love my coaches. Smiling as he
stabs you right in the back. That's what they do.
The genius politician. That's what they do. You wanna play games,
will play games. You wanna play football, Let's play football.
And what usually happens in these types of relationships, Look,
you're not gonna live up to anyone's expectations, reasonable or otherwise,
(11:48):
and and then it ultimately ends in a bad relationship.
Now does Brady come back next year? Did the expectations
go up to the level off? Do people think he's old?
Did they start talking about him? What do you do
with arians? Do you bring him back? He's talking about
retiring the very confusing thing. I didn't think it would
(12:09):
end in a Super Bowl and thought it would end
as a guy who chased it and found out it
wasn't all that happy on the other side, but it
would end fine. Now I think it's gonna end ugly.
I just do. Don't believe me. I got Tony Romo's comments,
which I believe came on some level from Brady and
Brady's people to back that up. Coming up next, it's
officially over for this NFL quarterback and potentially this head coach.
(12:34):
And it's pretty easy based upon what we saw yesterday.
I'll explain next. Be sure to catch the live edition
of The Doug gott Leap Show weekdays at three p m.
Easter noon Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I
Heart Radio WAPP. I have friends in the Bears organization,
and I think they're generally good people, um and I
(12:55):
feel like what's happened to them is what happened to
Mac Brown at the end of a EXAs. You know,
if you don't have a quarterback and you got to
pick a quarterback and that quarterbacks, it just makes you
look like a bad coach. That's really kind of what
it comes down to that no amount of play calling
(13:15):
can change it. You just it looks like about you
look like a poorly coach team. And you know, Matt
Naggie urges the Bears to wake up and have some
personal pride. Quote, I know this, we're better. We we
better wake our tails up, Naggi said in a Monday
Zoom call. Every freaking coach and staff, every player better
(13:36):
wake up. Start understanding where we're at and have some
personal pride. Have some freaking sense of urgency. Know where
we're at, have some pride into what we're playing for
and why we do this, and find a way to
go win. As a team. This is my challenge to
every single person in the UH in that building this week,
is that yesterday was flat out embarrassing. Our guys know it.
(14:00):
I'm not telling you something they don't know. They know it.
We're gonna step up in all coaches and players. We
got five games left for us. It's our personal challenge
where we're at and how we're gonna do this thing.
But that performance yesterday is ridiculous and can happen. Obviously
it starts with Menaggie, Look, his quarterback is not good enough.
(14:23):
You know this is it's the Jags with Bortles. It's
it doesn't matter how many other What happens with a
great defense is at some point they go like, come on, man,
you know and and and I'm willing, I'm willing to
be honest with you and say the first drive was great.
Then they get down to the end zone and Trabinsky
(14:44):
through two balls which wide receivers should have caught, and
congratulations to the Green Bay Packers. They broke up both
passes after they were both secured. And and I'd also
be honest and say like, look, Rabinsky is a guy
who struggled with self confidence, and he's a guy who
when you struggle with self confidence, and somebody says, and
(15:04):
and you got off to a great start, you score
a touchdown, you're probably gonna play better. Where instead he
plays perfect football, throws two absolute strikes in the end zone.
They both end up on the turf, and did they
get a field goal? And all of a sudden, before
you know it, you're down. It was six to three
because the Packers missed their first extra point, and then
you're down two touchdowns. And this is where, all of
(15:26):
a sudden, you know, he loses his confidence, He gets
out of sorts, he can't read a defense. He throws
into double coverage. The next drive they're driving well, and
then they just got the play Colling just got. He
shouldn't have thrown the football into double coverage, but it
felt they were doing a great job of being conservative.
Dank dunk, Nicolin daimio. And then hey, let's take a
big shot. Why why, what's the point of that? Terrible
(15:54):
but you do that because you know, I don't get
that good a quarterback. We gotta just let's try and steal,
but steal, explode us a play, read something. I mean,
he threw one in the double coverage interception, one of
a triple coverage interception. That's just it's over. So look,
it's over for Drabinsky, and it probably means it's over
for Naggy because when the guys stopped competing for you,
(16:17):
even when it's not your fault, then there's no bringing
you back with a different quarterback like Anthony Lynn. It
was pretty embarrassing what happened down at the end of
that game, and it does feel like the Chargers will
be at least partially in the market for a new coach,
but they're still playing hard for him. The Bears have
a great defense, and they played hard for about a
(16:38):
quarter and they're like, forget this right, like we have
we literally have no chance. We've been busting our bucks
for ten weeks. They've been trying to figure out the offense.
They circle back around the mitch and dudes throwing balls
where nobody can catch them, and look, I would be
(16:58):
I'll be fair and say that we don't know which
of those balls. Tony dun I love Tony Dungee. He
is an absolute mention of a man, and he was
for the most part not hypercritical almost anything that was
that that was not as good a watch as it
could have been had. I think they put Sims in
there because they don't have collins Worth. Because colins Worth
(17:20):
was set to do um. I think he said to
do Baltimore and Pittsburgh when and then that one when
that got delayed. He was gonna do that on Thursday.
Now he's gonna do it on Tuesday. Excuse me, a Sunday,
and he's gonna on Tuesday. But we didn't get the alright,
the wide receiver actually ran the round round here what
the actual problem was. But it's pretty obvious that it's
(17:46):
over there, and it's probably over Naggie because the guys
have stopped. The defense is beloved. Defense isn't playing nearly
as hard as consistently because I think even they've had
it and we had no offense, we got no shot,
and it just shows you miss on that position. It's
one of those really one of those things you gotta
be careful about drafting that position. You miss on that position,
you always play that position, and if the guy can't play,
(18:08):
you put a ball cap on him and he stands
over there in the sidelines right Whereas if you miss
on the left tackle, the guy can become a right
tackle or guard. You can still find some use for him,
and it's not as big of a sore thumb. If
you will, be sure to catch the live edition of
the Doug gott Leap Show weekdays at three p m.
Easter noon Pacific. He is the head coach of Lipscomb Academy.
(18:28):
I think they played for a state championship this weekend,
or maybe no, it's next weekend, right, they had the
Thanksgiving week off. Seen next weekend they played for the
state championship in the state of Tennessee. He of course
a Super Bowl champion, Presido State Bulldog. UH. Former top
five pick in the NFL Draft. He's the one and
only Trent Dilford. Trent, how's your Thanksgiving? Good? It's really good.
(18:49):
Uh didn't overcook the bird? That was the bad. That
was the big thing. Usually that's a problem in any
house I've ever been in. And we had a Omaha
Steaks gave us a meat thermometer and it worked to
a charm so pretty you can get slow and use there.
There there you go. Um, Okay, let's let's get to
the brady thing. Now here's what I shared and you
(19:12):
can hop in wherever you feel see fit. So just
so you know when when Trent took on, when when
you entered media, and you tell me if I'm wrong,
what you saw was a need, a need for somebody
who had played the position, knew the position, studied the
position of quarterback, and could communicate to the average Joe
(19:34):
what is special about the greats, what they do right,
what they do wrong right. That's when you got into it.
So you can speak to this way more than I can.
I I watched Brady struggle some yesterday. It wasn't terrible,
but there were some misses that you just don't see
from him. I listened to Romo and I figure that Brady,
most likely they're tight. There's like there's some illuminati for quarterbacks,
(19:58):
which I don't know. Because you want a super bowlf,
you're part of it. Right. Maybe it's the guys he
shakes hands with. I don't know, but those guys seem
to communicate with each other. And he was relaying to
everybody in America that this offense is not the right
offense and not the right play calls for Tom Brady.
Is that a fair possibility of how and why it
went down? Yeah? I think that's reasonable, if not likely,
(20:23):
So I think I'll build on it. I think, okay.
So when you say the offense, there's not an offense
on the planet that Tom Brady can't run and run
two with with excellence. Um. But play calling is paramount
for any quarterback. The sympatica relationship between play caller and
(20:44):
quarterback is, without a doubt, the most important aspect of
getting the most out of your quarterback. You can have
crappy play calling the quarterback and manage through it and
find his way through it for a game to three,
but to get great play from your quarterback at him
in the play caller have to be on the same page.
What is happening here is this is why when we
(21:05):
were asked all these questions when Brady signed with Tampa,
what's the fit going to be? Like? In the term
I use because I didn't want to. I like Bruce,
and I like Byron and Tom and I have been
friends forever. I didn't want to be controversial because I'm
not in the media all the time. Now, I said, interesting, Now,
my gut was that it was going to be a
disaster because Byron and Bruce, the reason they're they're connected
(21:28):
at the hip is because they both live by the machete. Okay,
so both of them, their entire careers are big play,
chunk play, take the machete out and shop the opponent's
head off with it. That's just how they believe offensive
football should be played. Tom Brady uses surgical tools and kills.
You buy a thousand cuts and that's his DNA. And
(21:49):
I'm like, there's no way a machete and a scalpel
worked together. Like they likee s are perfect. Those are
great analogies. Yeah, they don't. Like one has been the
grace of all time because he takes out his scalpel
and he cuts you a bunch of times. You don't
even know you're bleeding until you look down and you go,
oh my gosh, my shoes are on a puddle of blood.
(22:09):
That's what he's done to defense is his whole career.
And they have these guys calling the game that are like, oh,
they're just looking all they're looking at his safeties and
all Tom Brady is looking at his linebackers. Think of
it that simple. Tom Brady is looking at linebackers, cloud corners.
How do I dissect him? How do I frustrate him.
How do I spin them like tops. We'll go nine plays,
(22:31):
seventy two yards and four and a half minute and
finished with a touchdown. The defense will think they're winning,
and Bruce and Byron are like, okay, well the safety
is going, oh he's too tight. Oh that corner is aggressive.
Let's double move him. Let's run stems, Let's run double
post combinations. That's how they've always called the passing game.
And when Carson Palmer first got with Bruce, arians called
me and said, holy crud, this guy wants to take
(22:53):
a shot on every single play, every single play as
a verbal aspect to it. He'd be a great guest
to get on, by the way, if you can find
him in his side out now that he's amazing fly
fishes every day and yeah, he's amazing. And he could
tell you this because he was mind blowing on Bruce's offense.
And what you're seeing is the play calling. Tom's like,
(23:15):
wait a second, I just hit a chunk play. Why
are you coming up with another one? And you can
almost see the frustration in his eyes, like where's the
option route, where's the swing to the back, where's the
shallow cross? And instead it's every play is like, holy smokes,
you've got Evans going for I got Brown going vertical,
Like why can't I just run a crossing route to
(23:35):
the tight end and let him run for fourteen yards
after I hit him with a perfect task. And and
that's what you're seeing now at times when they're running
the ball, well, those vertical shots are there. And Tom's
been successful with him. I don't mean the bombs. I
mean more of the PUREC fifty five throws. But really,
to get the most out of Tom Brady, he kind
of have to cave to his way of playing football
(23:57):
and called the game around him. And by the way,
he'll probably get a Super Bowl if you do that.
But but but is it? Is? It? Is it stubbornness?
Why won't Tampa evolve? Why won't they meet him in
the middle? Why won't they change some of those play caffs? Okay,
so I'll give you a personal experience. It's very hard
(24:18):
to look at the game differently than you've grown up
looking at it. So I kind of look at the
game like Tom looks at the game. I've just believed
that death by a thousand cuts is the best way
to call a game. I have now the big time
quarterback right here in high school. And he is a
really gifted vertical passer, so I've had to change around him.
(24:38):
So I've had to now look as I'm forty eight
years old, I've been around football my whole life, and
I'm learning a new way of looking at it because
of the seventeen year old kid. But it's the right
thing to do to get the most out of my kids.
And we last week before then a half in the
state semis. I threw up fifty two yard bomb and
then the half and he dined it in there for
(24:59):
the touch out first soft coverage, but he set it
into a small place because that's what he does well.
And that's what Bruce and Byron have to do. They
have to start looking at the game through Tom's lens.
Can they do it? Yeah? I think Tom was a
way of making you do those things. I go back
to the famous game when I said the Patriots were
done against the Kansas City Chiefs, and it was much
(25:21):
like this were almost situation. Toma told me some stuff
before the game. They were doing different things offensively and
it was not fitting. And Tom was able to get Josh.
Of course, the here to get them back to doing
what they do best. And I fully believe that that's
what's gonna happen here in Tampa, that Tom will get
them his way more than he'll go their way. I
know Aaron Rodgers was amazing, and I don't want to
(25:43):
take anything away from it, but the juxtaposition of watching
Aaron Rodgers play the same position as Mitchell Trobiski last
night was was Yeah, that was yes, same position, different
solar same league, different solar system. UM. I do think
that the two drops in the end zone in the
first drive affected Drabinsky, right, a guy just searching for confidence,
(26:05):
and they end up with a field goal. Then they're down.
You know, they're basically down two touchdowns before he gets
the ball back a second time. UM, but there's just
you know, it felt like the team kind of threw
up their hands, is like this ain't it and they
kind of they kind of quit on the quarterback and
quit on the coach last night. Am I overselling what
I saw? Nope? And I hardly ever used the Q
(26:25):
word in the NFL, But yeah, you definitely saw a
team that's just disheartened with the quarterback played disheartened with UM.
Just the whole vibe around Trabisky. Remember, he's a young
kid that left a year sooner than he should have,
got overdrafted, hadn't played a lot of college snaps, so
(26:46):
hadn't been the quarterback. And this is always a big conversation.
Being the quarterback is more than playing the position. Being
the quarterback is leading a team meeting. Being the quarterback
is faced adversity. Being the quarterback has has layers upon
layers on it, and he just wasn't the quarterback very
much in college. So he goes to the NFL and
(27:06):
he doesn't have those pelts on the wall of being
the quarterback, and an NFL locker room will see right
through that. So I think a lot of that is
that is what's going on there. Stuff we don't see
Monday through Saturday. And then he's just not as talented
as everybody said he would be. Now, he's a gifted
athlete and he could develop into a good player if
he was given time. But you're seeing a lot of
(27:29):
his um flaws um exposed um and magnified is the
word I'm looking for. Magnified because the situation he's in
it it's just a bad deal all the way. Around.
I really think the coach is a good person. I
think he's a good coach. I think they him and
him and the GM just went too far in on
(27:50):
this kid and then tried to save it with the
FULLS thing and everybody knew that wasn't gonna work. Nothing
just needs to be rebooted. Yeah, I tend to agree. Um,
where does does Matt Stafford finish his career in Detroit? No?
I think he goes somewhere else. I mean, I think
they cut bait. I do think he's still talented enough
(28:10):
and really respected by the way. That's the thing. But
you know there's you talked about the Illuminati quarterback thing
like that's kind of true. And you know, you also
know which guys are really respected around the league, and
Matt matthew is one of those guys. Um, so he'll
find another landing spot. But I think everything has to
just be blowing up in Detroit. Tend to tend to
(28:31):
agree with you. You You didn't have any eligibility to play
for Denver. What what must that have been like for
hinting to come up to a game with no reps
and try and play against the NFL defense. I can't
imagine it. My mind was blown by that whole thing.
I mean, I can't. It's hard enough when you get
every rep. It's hard enough for us average guys to
you know, get ready to play our best football against
(28:52):
a really good opponent weekend and week out, to not
take any reps and be a quarterback on the roster,
and to be at Bethrow just taking the just getting
the snap operation. Um, the whole thing was mind boggling.
I really thought. What threw me off was they came
out with Lindsay is kind of the Wildcat. They should
have just played that whole game in the wildcat and
(29:14):
just said we're going to run at fifty times and
you know you're gonna lose, Right, there's no way you're
going to beat the Saints. Why not just try to
shorten the game, play the wildcat, get some good rushing attempts,
not even play a quarterback in the game. Um, that's
what I would have done. But that was it. I
couldn't believe that thing actually happened. Well, there's I mean
(29:35):
that you can't bring anybody in. You know, they had
to be quarantined for six days, you like physically can't
and they had no, they hadn't. They literally no other options.
It's like the opposite of youth football. Does anybody want
to play quarterback? And everybody step takes a step back
and staid takes a step forward like they do when
when they're when they're little kids. Doug out the show
(29:55):
here on Fox Sports Radio. That's the voice of of
Trent Dilfer. Trent, I got a bunch of other quick ones.
What what do the Niners do to take apart uh
the Rams? And specifically to Jared Goff, who really really
struck the Niners clearly have the Rams number um. Short
(30:18):
answer is they've read their mail before it was opened.
They just know what the Rams are gonna do. The
Rams use so much Mike Shanahan, not even Carl Shanahan,
Mike Shanahan stuff um that throws people off, Like we
see this every day in practice, Like we hear about
(30:40):
this in training camp. There's nothing you're doing that we
don't know the answers to the test before you give
us the test. It's just a really bad matchup for
the Rams. Terrible wait. Which is interesting because the Rams
dismantled Seattle with their defensive line, dismantled the Buccaneers with
their defensive line like and they and and and really
there was a time there in the third quarter where
(31:01):
I mean, Nick Bollins is not good and it looked
like Aaron Donald did done it again, but they couldn't
capitalize on those on on suddenly having momentum. Yeah, it's
it's again, you said, short answer. You know me, I
can go on. The quickest way of saying it is
that when you're game planning for a team at any level,
there's certain weeks like, oh gosh, we got this, like
(31:24):
we know them better than they know themselves. And that's
how the FOI and I ares go about the Ramps.
Great stuff, man, best of luck this week. Um, don't
come home without a state championship. We'll talk to you
next week. Thanks for appreciate you. It's trendal for joining

(31:44):

a little deal or no deal? Find out next. Fox

(32:29):
Hey Doug. The game today is big deal, little deal,
no deal. Alright, big deal, little deal or no deal
that ESPN reports the Broncos had no new positive COVID
results in testing from Sunday, So all the tests were negative. Um, yes, no,
no new one. No, I understand it. Um, I liked
(32:50):
what Dan Orlovsky had a sautnd did you guys see
that they He's basically calling out Blake Portals and calling
out Drew Lock like, look, dude, you guys got your chance.
You weren't ready, you didn't wear your mask. We don't
know how they contacted it, but it stands the reason
that all those quarterbacks in the same quarterback room. You know,
one guy's a super spreader, spreads at all of them.
But if you're wearing your mask indoors, granted, uncomfortable, but
(33:11):
maybe it keeps you safe. Big deal, a little deal
or no deal? That will be playing their next two
games is the home team in Arizona. Feels like a
big deal. They're doing it because he can't play in
that county right Yes, And they haven't even figured out
a practice plan as of right now. They don't even
know if they can practice in Santa Clara or what
that That's not the most bizarre story I've heard. The
(33:32):
University of New Mexico's men's basketball team is in Texas
and they're practicing in a junior college and they only
have two games currently on their schedule locked in and
they're like looking for opponents. That's a real story, and
so so an NFL team playing a couple of games
doesn't feel as big as that one. Well, the New
Mexico football team has been in Las Vegas this season
(33:53):
because of the state's protocol. Same New Mexico State, I think,
is in Phoenix, UH for their hoops team. Big deal,
a little deal or no deal? Doug that the NFL
announced that their Saturday schedule for the day after Christmas
December will feature the Forts and Cardinals playing in a
game that will only be available via stream, Amazon Prime
(34:14):
or Twitch. Is that a big deal? Little deal or
no deal? Big deal? Way with the future right, And
the question becomes, so my question is, and I think
is CBS gonna produce that? Is that is gonna do it?
I think it's it's I think it would be a
Fox game. Um, but I don't quote me on that,
but I just know that the well, look, the big
(34:35):
question is what happens with CBS, ESPN, Abc, I mean
most most likely CBS and Fox because now CBS is
Viacom now, so it could be sold out, but it
might not with Fox. Like what what I don't think
it's crazy to see happen is an Amazon or a
(34:56):
Yahoo or a Google or a Facebook, Twitch or Twitter.
They end up buying all the Fox and then Fox
becomes um like the the TV production arm for Amazon,
for example, because they have all the money. That's where
all the money is. And it wouldn't stun me if
(35:16):
they bought You know, we don't have the wherewithal to
to do games. We need somebody. So instead of hiring
a bunch of people to do games. We'll just do it.
We'll just let's just buy Fox and let them keep
their shop and maybe we streamlined some stuff and and
use them as our production arm. Doug, Big deal, a
little deal or no deal? That Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick
went nine two fifty seven yards and two touchdowns and
(35:39):
yesterday's went over the Jets, so he won both games
against the Jets. Ryan Fitzpatrick against the Jets is pretty awesome. Um,
it was. It's curious though that they're you're not seeing
to it to a right. I mean, that's Brian Forest
says that to us. Still is guy, if he's healthy,
still my guy. It's just not healthy, not just not healthy.
There's always that caveat Big deal, a little deal or
(36:00):
no deal? That Northwestern essentially locked up a spot in
the Big Ten title game because their game against Minnesota
this week was canceled. That's a big deal. Plus what
happens to Ohio State. Can Ohio State find an opponent
if their game against Michigan is canceled? Big things in
the Big Ten? And we don't have answers from you. Yeah,
I don't know the Buck because the Buck has had
late tests last week against Illinois, So I don't know
how then you end up turning around and playing this
(36:23):
weekend against Michigan State as well. We shall see big deal,
a little deal or no deal that the Maui Invitational
is being held in Asheville, North Carolina. Uh right, now,
by the way, we gotta get it on one of
your TVs. But that's a big deal. That's a huge,
(36:44):
huge deal, um, because it's always that, that has always
been um um, that has always always been the biggest
tournament of the we we used to call it the preseason.
Now you called the nonconference season and do it in
as It's just it's fascinating. You know, you'd have j
(37:04):
billis Lahinah Civic Center. I never got to play in
it because what happened was Oaklahoma State went there in
ninety four. That was year they went to the Final
four and looked terrible, left their game on the beach,
and coach Sutton wind go back for like a decade.
So yeah, I mean, like, this is a big, big
tournament and you get a chance to see these teams
playing it. Alright. Finally, Doug, big deal, a little deal
or no deal that college Basketball's top five in the
(37:27):
latest state. People are from the Big Ten, Iowa, Wisconsin,
Illinois at three five behind Gonsega and Baylor. It's a
little deal. I mean ultimately that I'll even up. Those
Big Ten teams all played at home, and Illinois nearly
lost to Ohio. You they one by one point. Some
of that is a more factor of the schedule than
how good they are. They they're the league is good.
Michigan State is very good. I would can really really score.
(37:50):
Wisconsin is very good. But a lot of it is
a product of those teams that have played. They played
three home games against teams that needed games. Game time.
On the Duck Gotlieb Show, all right, coming up next,
we're gonna take you to Tampa. Not for the super Bowl.
I don't know if we're going with anybody going to
the super Bowl. Well, we know the Buccaneers don't look
(38:11):
like a team that's gonna host the first ever Super
Bowl as a host team. But how dysfunctional is it
between Brady and Arians and what happened to the defense.
We'll find out. We'll take it to Tampa next in
the Dug Gotlip Show here on Fox Sports Radio,
