Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
It's a Dan Patrick Show here Fox Sports Radio. LeVar Arrington,
Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox in for Dan and the guys.
Here we are formerly our previous to this show on
or Monday through Friday. Sorry about that we spoke there,
but you can hear us Monday through Friday from six
to nine am Eastern Time three to six o'clock Pacific
Time on Two Pros and a Cup of Joe. But

(00:26):
we've been asked here, Hey, filing for Dan and the guys.
Dan is out. So here we are on a Monday morning,
and we've talked about the Olympics. We've talked about the
Olympics going bye bye, and it is now football time,
all right. We have got football on the brain, We've
got football conversations to be had, and we're going to
have all those football conversations here from the tiraq dot

(00:47):
Com studios. And one of those conversations is the debut
of Caleb Williams, seen and featured a lot on Hard Knocks,
discussed all through the off season. He made his debut
against the Bills on Saturday in a preseason game. I
don't know what you guys thought of the debut, and
there's some other debuts we're gonna get to, but Caleb

(01:07):
Williams seemed to showcase the skill set that many people
have been talking about over the past couple of years
and why he was the consensus number one pick, even
going back to last year.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
I actually think he will like the NFL offenses are
better suited for Caleb Williams to showcase his skill And
it might sound a little bit odd insane the only
because you want a heisman in college, but like hear
me out for a second, Caleb Williams throwing on the
run is absolutely incredible. Like I used, probably one of

(01:38):
the best quarterbacks like entering into the NFL throwing on
the run, as far as accuracy, the ability to shape throws,
the ability to throw across his body, do things that
most can't, and then literally stepping in the NFL is
one of the best I've ever seen ever and one
of the things that if you go back to his
time at Southern cal there's not a lot of of

(02:01):
offense like you're gonna see in the in the NFL
in the sense of you can put them under center,
you can run more boots, you can run more sprintouts,
you can run more move the pockets. He was oftentimes
just kind of sitting in shotgun and if things broke down,
then you saw his ability to throw on the run
and create because his athleticism ability to buy time. But
in the NFL, every single week it's all about matchups,

(02:24):
and so your offense has all these different wrinkles and
tools and things in there to where they change. And
the other thing is is there's you know, obviously you
throw the football more than you do running the football,
but it's much closer to a fifty to fifty split
than in college football in some cases. And for him,
I think that's going to allow him to play from

(02:46):
under center a little bit more. It's gonna allow him
to actually, you know, be in a normal drop back
passing game showcase all these different things that he's capable
of doing, but not have.

Speaker 4 (02:55):
To do it in the manner that he did it at.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
Southern cal where it felt like it was off script
or scrambling or buying time or having to make a
play like It'll be more by design, And I think
that's one of the things that should help him, I
think become an absolute star at the next level. But
he's been phenomenal so far, kind of as you would
expect with all the hype around him and everything that
he'd showcased during his time in college.

Speaker 5 (03:20):
I'll say this, he definitely showed that he can play
at this level, which is first and foremost the initial
thing you want to see is that he can handle
being out there. I will say with the caveat that
the one time that it would be doable to have
success would be in the preseason. I mean, let's just

(03:43):
be clear, You're going to have defenses that are not
really going to show schematically what they're planning on doing
to be able to try to limit a guy that
you have to game plan against. So I don't take
too much from it other than the fact that he
looked like he was comfortable. He looked like he had
command and control over what he was doing as as

(04:07):
the the general to feel general for the offense, and
that should be a positive that you take away from it.
I just I think that the conversation has changed so
dramatically in how you speak on preseason just because of
who's playing, and then you take in the other elements,
Like I said, A defensive coordinator is not scheming for

(04:30):
the Chicago Bears offense in the preseason. You're seeing what
guys are capable of doing and seeing who's going to
fill the roles that are available to them on on
their rosters. So but I do think that is a
good start.

Speaker 6 (04:44):
I don't.

Speaker 5 (04:44):
I don't look at it as there was anything that
would make me feel as though it would give you
pause on thinking that Caleb Williams can live up to
the I guess the expectation of what people are thinking
he's going to be. I will I will I guess
also say, and to that, I guess in that vein,
I still kind of look at it from the standpoint

(05:07):
of can he have the type of year because he's
going to be judged off of Again, you're going to
put the best of the best out there because they
think he's the best. So you're going to compare him
the guys to Patrick Mahomes. You're going to compare him
to what CJ. Stroud did this past season. Can he
block out that noise? Can he actually outplay what a

(05:30):
c J. Stroud did last season? I think there are
going to be a few questions that are big questions
for him and his level of accomplishment and achievement may
be fear or unfair, but I do think he's going
to be judged and held to a different, you know,
standard or different expectation than probably any other quarterback that's
been taken in this year's draft and maybe another draft

(05:52):
as well.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
He was asked afterwards Caleb Williams whether or not his
performance was reassuring coming back and playing in his first
preseason game.

Speaker 7 (06:00):
There is an understandment that it is preseason that you know,
everybody's not going to show their looks and you know
what they would do versus and vice versa. But it
definitely is you know, it definitely feels good to get
out there. Last time I was out there on the
field other than practice, it was November eighteen, and it's
you know, you go that long without something, it's it's

(06:20):
it's tough, but you know, it's been great. The guys
have made it fun. They made it easy on me,
so uh to get out there and and and and
have the confidence you know that we had out there.

Speaker 6 (06:31):
It's it's only going to get better and we can't wait.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
Kind of wild to think November eighteenth was the last
time we played. It's a long ass time ago, and
then he gets thrown and do an NFL game a
preseason or not, and to perform the way that he did.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
And there was also but like, isn't every rookie quarterback
pretty much thrown into that? I mean, I'm just saying
like that they were going to end either November or
December or maybe being in January, but it's it's always
gonna be a long wait like that.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
There was a moment there where and I maybe I'm
just looking too far into this, but where he rolled
out and as he was rolling out for like one
of his first drive, it might have been his first
drop back as a quarterback in the NFL, and he
notices that there's some illegal contact or a hole that
was happening in front of him on the offensive line,

(07:18):
and he turns as he's on the run and looks
to the official behind him to call for a hold.
And I thought to myself, He's like, none of this
is too big for him, Like it seems like everything
is at the right speed, at the right pace, Like
he doesn't seem like he's overwhelmed or any of it
is is confusing or anything like that. And you just
saw some of his like the decisions, the throws, little

(07:41):
things like that, which is why just being in Chicago
last week, they are all in on Caleb Williams. It's
everywhere they should be.

Speaker 4 (07:49):
He's should be.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
He's a you know, franchise changing type of talent.

Speaker 4 (07:54):
I mean, that's truthfully what he is.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
And to your point about that, like the things I've
always appreciated him is.

Speaker 4 (08:02):
I've always seen a few instances.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
And it really was last year when he played at
s where he pressed. Usually he does a great job
of letting the game come to him, and I think
his ability to improvise, his ability to get outside the
pocket and throw on the run probably gives him that confidence.

Speaker 4 (08:19):
Because he always knows he has that in his back pocket.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
If anything does happen off script, he can execute as
good as anyone.

Speaker 4 (08:26):
And so that's probably why that's the case.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
But to your point, I mean, he so far checked
that box of being able to handle the preseason speed.
Then all come down to the regular season, which is
another level up, like LeVar touched on, and we'll see
how we adjust, not necessarily throughout the course of the season,
but like end game because every single series, defense are
doing something different to shut you down, and defenses are

(08:50):
making adjustments. That's the biggest thing that he's going to
have to overcome is how teams go about trying to
keep him in the pocket and trying to make him
play from the post, and then putting pressure on him
in a variety of ways once he's played enough and
they feel like he's got some tendencies.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
It felt like a majority of the first round quarterbacks
performed pretty well.

Speaker 6 (09:12):
I don't know if that's yeah, Like.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
Jaden Daniels, he was brief, not bad. JJ McCarthy looked okay,
Bo Nicks looked great.

Speaker 5 (09:19):
For Denver, I'll say this going just going back to
Caleb Williams, the one thing that did really stand out
for me and the few reps that he took is
that he's not scared. He's not nervous, like he's not
going to get at least for now. It didn't seem
as though he could get rattled into, you know, as

(09:40):
Q mentioned, kind of like pushing or forcing to try
to make plays. I mean, you look at that that
screenplay that they ran. It took some It took real bravery,
It took courage to execute that, like people will say, oh,
look at the throw, the way he flicked it, you know,
and got it out.

Speaker 6 (09:58):
I say, look at how long he held it.

Speaker 5 (10:01):
Look At how much time he gave the running back
in the offensive line and everybody to get in position
and still not take a sack and be able to
deliver the ball the way that he did. Those are
the things to me that scare you as a defender.
You know, when somebody can they can take that lack

(10:24):
of fear and can actually execute at a high level
on the go like that as a quarterback, that's what's
going to keep defensive coordinators up at night, like what
are we going to do? The kid can run, I
mean he might have. I don't think it's a stretch
to say he's probably a better runner than Patrick Mahomes.
He has the same type of a way of going

(10:46):
about throwing the ball and delivering the ball and reading
the field like a Patrick Mahomes does. I think he
has more athletic ability than he does as well. So
if he does take off and run, We've seen Patrick
Mahomes dismantled defenses and make it harder to defend them
because he creates that man on man, you know, that matchup,

(11:06):
you got to have somebody who can keep up with
Patrick Mahomes. You're not just gonna get them with a
defensive lineman. So that's I think it's a scary proposition
to see that Caleb Williams is so comfortable so quickly
and so early in this early stage of his career,
because to have that confidence and and not that ability

(11:26):
to stand in there and know what it is that
you're getting yourself into, it can make him super dangerous
moving forward.

Speaker 6 (11:32):
Man, what about that frozen rope to cole Comet on
the run?

Speaker 5 (11:36):
You think about that, I mean, he's he's I mean
he just he showed that he's special, that's for certain.
And it does look like it translates into the pro game,
and that's what you want to see in the preseason
because you could, I mean there could. There's been some
trash quarterbacks that have to have great preseasons. I mean,
I was on a team that won five games. We
went we went four four four O four five and

(11:58):
ohs four.

Speaker 4 (11:58):
To o.

Speaker 5 (12:00):
In the preseason and didn't win like like we won
like three games in the regular season.

Speaker 6 (12:06):
Yeah, if that counts as eight total.

Speaker 5 (12:09):
I'm just saying I've seen it where teams can have
great success offenses defenses players like, oh yeah, this guy
who is a guy who is the quarterback? You say, Danny,
It's not so much about the quarterback. It's about just
the given circumstances of what the preseason represents. Danny warfol
there was I do believe it was Danny Warfold that

(12:30):
was the quarterback. Why Danny Warfole catches straight? He didn't
catch us straight? He played very well. We thought we
was going to do something with the former Heisman Trophy
winner and Florida great. You know, before there was Tim Tebow,
there was Danny Warfle. You know, I'm just saying we
thought we had it together. Had a whole lot of
a whole lot of work to do.

Speaker 3 (12:51):
You know, there is this like kind of behind the
scenes thing for like backup quarterbacks where you try to,
you know, rack up yards in the preseason because you
know the starter. So if if you're in a position
where are the backup, you do keep tabs on like
who's leading in like passing yards to preseason, et cetera.
Like you're always kind of keeping tabs on all though,
because oh yeah, because like it's the last playing time

(13:13):
you get until something happens during the season. So if
you go into a season like a preseason like that,
like you, people definitely keep tabs on some of that.

Speaker 4 (13:20):
I'll say this much.

Speaker 3 (13:22):
I remember I think Lut McCown and I want to
say Josh too, when he was a backup. The mccowns
would always always dime it up during preseason and like
have a ton of yards. I think Luke in particular,
I remember a couple a couple of preseasons where like
he would have a crap ton of yards every single time,
and we're like, day, we got to catch loot man.

(13:43):
But I'm pretty sure is one of the two mccounts.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
By the way, how about Trey Lance having forty one
past attemp Chesterday?

Speaker 4 (13:52):
You have some reps, man.

Speaker 5 (13:57):
Got many damn about your boy Michael Pennix. But it's
the preseason though, you.

Speaker 6 (14:05):
Know it's the preseason. Hey, by the way, do you
think Pennix is going to start a game this? That's
what I'm saying. It's the preseason.

Speaker 5 (14:10):
I think he is, But I think the bigger question
up is he going to win the job outright and
start a game or is it going to be due
to some type of an injury that sets Kirk Cousins
back and sets him up to lose his job. Either way,
it's just pretty stress If I'm Kirk Cousins, I know
I'm getting the money, but that's a tap. It's stressful
for my playing time.

Speaker 6 (14:31):
I mean.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
Kirk Cousins said it recently that he would have or
the report was that, Yeah, if I would have known
this would have been the plan, I would have entertained
the idea of going back to Minnesota on a one
year deal, because at least Minnesota was upfront with him
about what their plan was, and Atlanta was like, no,
we're just gonna go ahead and take uh take Michael
Pennox number eight.

Speaker 6 (14:49):
You know.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
So that is the the quick check on all of
the any any other quarterback play jump out to you
guys other than Stetson Bennett. Uh, you know, shirving enough
a few times the for the Rams against the Cowboys.

Speaker 6 (15:03):
JJ McCarthy looked pretty good, I do.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
That's the one I wonder about because there was this
report that came out that they the Vikings plan is
Sam Darnold will be the starter. JJ McCarthy, you know,
most likely going to ride the bench, but he looked
pretty good.

Speaker 4 (15:22):
He responded after. What I liked about him is he.

Speaker 3 (15:25):
Threw an early interception and then after that he really
responded with it. So it's he kind of battled through,
if you want to call adversity or whatever else. I
was curious though, watching that preseason game. I want to
see between Minshew and O'Connell if someone would have the edge.

Speaker 4 (15:39):
And Minshew obviously in the stat.

Speaker 3 (15:41):
Line, you know, had a little bit more than than O'Connell,
but they both played decently well. So that quarterback battle's
gonna keep keep moving forward.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
I think it is the Dan Patrick Show here on

(17:23):
and see the full line of Goodyear Tires special offers
free road hash protection and mobile tire installation. Tire rack
dot com the way tire buying should be. So, what
the hell's going on with Brandon Ayuk? This is the
weirdest potential departure from a team, and now maybe is
going to be cut. Like the latest is that it's

(17:45):
basically down to this topic. Well, I just I don't
know what's happening.

Speaker 4 (17:49):
Because there's no update, nothing exacting. We's still with the.

Speaker 6 (17:51):
Forty h Do you want an update on the most
recent report.

Speaker 4 (17:55):
I know you do, because you're fascinated with this.

Speaker 6 (17:58):
I think it's great, I really do. So here's the
most recent report either.

Speaker 4 (18:03):
Training camp you get.

Speaker 3 (18:04):
Actually, one story we talked about forever last year was Rogers.
I think we talked about Rogers like the entirety of
the preseason.

Speaker 5 (18:13):
Right well, and doubts mid season as well well, actually
the entire season about his comeback.

Speaker 6 (18:19):
Trend setters. All right, we're trend setters here and now
everybody know you're the trend You're the trend setter.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
So Brandon Ayuk, apparently the latest is that he's either
going to return to the forty nine ers on a
long term deal or he'll get dealt to the Steelers.

Speaker 6 (18:36):
Which he's not getting dealt to the Steelers.

Speaker 5 (18:38):
I almost in my mind, I feel I feel almost
confidence because the type of contract he's going to want,
he's not going to get in Pittsburgh. That's not the
place he's going to get it. So it doesn't make
sense to actually talk about something that's never happened. Look
at the long list of receivers who had played for
the Pittsburgh Steelers, and you may have a Hall of

(19:00):
Fame or going in at some point in heinz Ward.
You may possibly, I mean maybe he doesn't because he's
tarnished his reputation, but you may have two with the
addition of Antonio Brown.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
By the way, what do you been thinking about his
hashtag CTESPN.

Speaker 6 (19:14):
I mean, that can't be him tweeting that is him.

Speaker 4 (19:19):
I feel like I feel like he sold it to
someone else's doing it.

Speaker 5 (19:23):
I mean, he couldn't have somebody doing it, but it's
definitely that's that's representation.

Speaker 3 (19:28):
There are some of these accounts, now like these guys
sell them, really yeah, they sell them.

Speaker 4 (19:33):
They just like allow people to use their their name,
image and likeness.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
So so you're saying that the hashtag CTESPN may not
be Antonio Brown tweeting.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
I'm just saying there's theories out there about some of
these these x accounts that people who like garnish a
large following well then end up selling them and they
don't really touch them.

Speaker 4 (19:57):
They just people just post stuff for them.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
The uh it was a Breer who brought this up
last week, LeVar that that just like the Steelers, it
hasn't been their mo to go trade for a wide
receiver and pay them a bunch of money. Now, they've
obviously drafted well, developed well then signed into second contracts.
That's been more of what they've how they've done this,

(20:20):
and I guess that's what makes it so, I guess
outside the box thinking for an organization that has been
as stable as any in the NFL, and just this
whole situation with AUK So to your point, I mean,
who's the last wide receiver they traded for and paid
a bunch of money? Look, I cannot think of it
over the past twenty some years.

Speaker 5 (20:39):
Yeah, I feel like the most blockbuster move, honestly that
they've made came in the nineties when they got Jerome
Bettis or when they brought in Kevin Green. I think
that's like the most I feel like that's like the
biggest thing they've done in free agency. I just it
doesn't seem feasible that it's going to happen in Pittsburgh.

(21:00):
But I think what even makes it more curious to
the whole entirety of the situation is you get a
Cleveland Browns team who seemingly looks like they're in the
right direction to compete for Super Bowl, and now you
reportedly denies that the ability to take that, you know,
take advantage of that opportunity.

Speaker 6 (21:17):
That's my favorite part of the story is the.

Speaker 5 (21:19):
Fact it's a it's a weird it's a weird story twist,
it's a plot twist because it's Ayuk that denied it. Like,
I don't want to go play for Cleveland, but why
why would you not want to go to a team
that has personnel wise the type of team and if
they're going to give up they're saying they will give
up a Mary Cooper. You know immediately you're not going
to be minimized or diminished coming into that offensive scheme.

(21:42):
You're going to be the man. Why would you not.
Why would you not try to make that, make that
trade work? Why would you deny that?

Speaker 2 (21:48):
So that was the other one that came out where
apparently there was a couple of draft picks and Amari
Cooper offered up for Brandon Ayuk and he rejected it
because he didn't want to play for Cleveland, and Somarry
Cooper cut wind to that and went on Instagram. By
the way, Mary Cooper hasn't said a word since like
the eighties, and he went on Instagram and said, I
wouldn't mind that at all. And everyone said, well, maybe

(22:11):
he's not talking to Okay, yeah, what else could he
be talking about?

Speaker 6 (22:13):
What else would he be referring to.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
But it's the fact that Cleveland they kind of did
the same thing with Baker Mayfield where it got out
that they were kicking the tires on Deshaun Watson. Baker
Mayfield cut winded it, said I'm out, Like then it happened.
We need to move on that. If these reports are
true and you guys are interested, we need to move on.
And now they just did it with Mary Cooper. Two
is their best wide receiver. They just redid his deal

(22:36):
to try and bring him back and make it a
little better for him, only to find out, oh yeah,
they were trying to trade me for Brandon Ayuk.

Speaker 5 (22:43):
I think they're both postering, and I, you know, I
don't know what that's all about. I mean, not to me,
is just the business of the sport. What's happening with Cleveland.
Sometimes you got to be willing to deal. There's generally
everyone is on the trade block. Everybody's on the chopping block,
except for maybe a small, small like one that might
be on your roster that you're not going to get

(23:05):
rid of. But going back to the Ayuk situation, it
just seems like both parties are sabotaging themselves in public
to actually stay in the same place. I don't think
the forty nine ers want to let him go because
of the value he brings to the forty nine ers.
They just don't want to pay him the value that
he wants to that. And Brandon Ayuk doesn't want to

(23:27):
go to a different team, but he wants to value that.
He wants to have his value at for his his contract.
I just think they're both sabotaging themselves to stay in
a situation in San Francisco. And I would say that
Brandon Ayuk and his representatives should be looking at this

(23:48):
and saying, Okay, here's here's what we would have been
able to get if we went to Cleveland. This is
what this is what the getting, you know, the good
is getting. Let's take this and let's lock in with
the forty nine ers. To me, if I'm looking at
it where you're currently at, that's what I would be
looking to do, is to try to get this thing
done and try to get it settled. Because the one

(24:09):
thing we don't really throw out there is the fact
that Kyle Shanahan is making it very clear that it's
running thin on him. You don't want to turn your
coach off to you. You don't want to have a
situation where your coach writes you off or you were
too much of a headache at this moment in time,
coaches whole grudges too. You don't want to be that
guy where you come back. You've now sound the long

(24:30):
term deal, but yet you have a coach that's kind
of like over you, like irritated by you, like why'd
you do all this?

Speaker 6 (24:37):
Why did this have to play out in public?

Speaker 5 (24:39):
So to me, I think that he needs to get
this if he really wants to maintain being a forty
nine er in a healthy situation. He needs to try
to get this done as quickly. Him and his representation
need to try to get this done as quickly as possible,
because there is no real market for him. If you're
thinking it's the Steelers, it's not. So there's not a
real market for I. You at this point try to

(24:59):
get it done and go for that.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
I wonder because it's the Steelers, and because it's the
Browns right with the Patriots bowing out. I do wonder
just because their division rivals, how much that plays a
factor if at all? Right, Like the loser between those
two teams, if there is a trade, is gonna.

Speaker 4 (25:15):
Have to see them twice a year.

Speaker 6 (25:17):
Yeah right, yep.

Speaker 4 (25:18):
So I do wonder.

Speaker 3 (25:19):
If that, You know, if his agents, his representation are
kind of playing that card as they try to broker
this thing to make it as sweet, because the other
element to all of this is, you know, they have
to have it's going to be a sign and trade
kind of thing, or a trade and sign in this
case where they trade them, we see whatever the compensation
is from Cleveland or Pittsburgh. But you better believe that

(25:39):
extension should get announced. Otherwise you're going to find yourself
in a situation similar to New York Jets.

Speaker 4 (25:45):
Who are you know with.

Speaker 3 (25:46):
Hassan Riddick and that whole that whole deal where you've
got an unhappy player who you trade it for knowing
he was going to want a contract extension and no
one wants that.

Speaker 4 (25:54):
So I just I.

Speaker 3 (25:56):
Wonder how much the division rival aspect of things matters
at all, right, because if Cleveland missus out Pittsburgh did
trade for him, that's like, well, all of a sudden,
he's making big plays on you and that could have
been your guy.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
So, uh, do you think Jerry Jones is jealous that
Brandon Ayuk's getting all the attention in this offseason?

Speaker 5 (26:15):
Well, he's trying to hold the attention, Jones still. Yeah,
I say he's trying to hold his own now like
he's not holding his own, he is holding He's holding
his own.

Speaker 6 (26:25):
Absolutely. He had to apparently walk.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
Back some comments uh he made about Ceedee Lamb and
how important Ceedee Lamb is to the Cowboys and being there.
This was Jerry Jones' pregame before the Cowboys preseason game
against the Rams yesterday I.

Speaker 8 (26:39):
Think I got in trouble a little the other day
when I said, look, we're not urgent about CD. Well,
no one appreciates CD being on the field anymore than
I did. But let me say this, he wouldn't be
taking a snap out here today if he had been here,
for you've got to use your head when you expose
key players. That gives the other younger players a chance

(27:02):
to do it. We know exactly what CD can do,
and he worked out with that, and so we wouldn't
have him out here. It has really not anything to
do with his contract.

Speaker 4 (27:12):
Now.

Speaker 8 (27:12):
I understand completely the anks that's happening when you are
anxious about and someone says anything about whether you're missed
or not, well, city, you're missed okay, but you're not
missed out here competing and it doesn't put any pressure
any place on us.

Speaker 6 (27:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (27:31):
So there's the thing that people love doing is is
like taking things out of context. This I think the
first quote when he said we're not in an urgency
situation with him, I think it was taken out of context.
I think he was joking around and he was having
a good time with it and it was taken out
of context. I think you could easily take this quote
out of context as well. He laid it out for you.

(27:53):
We're not playing you in the preseason. So basically what
we're telling you is is we have the amount of
time of the entire preseason to try to walk through
this and talk through this and get it done. We're
not going to be forced into an urgent situation based
upon this game today or based upon the next preseason game.

Speaker 6 (28:12):
I think that that's how he means it. I don't
think he means.

Speaker 5 (28:14):
It as an overall like, God, we get to the
regular season, it doesn't matter. We're not going to let urgency,
you know, be a part of the way we do
this deal with CD lamb. We'll get it done when
we get it done. I think he's purely talking about
we have time because we know who CD is, we
know what he brings to the table, and we don't
need to figure that out right now, so we'll take
our time now. To me, I think he should be

(28:36):
in practice. I think he should be getting reps. I
think he should be conditioning and doing those things with
the team, and you're losing that time because he's not
with the team. But with the same token, this is
something that Jerry Jones has become seemingly accustomed to, is
allowing his guys to stay out of camp and getting
the deal done before training camp is over. Seems like

(28:57):
standard par for the course.

Speaker 6 (29:00):
Where Ceede Lamb working out at? Is he in Cabo?
Is he at Mango Deck?

Speaker 4 (29:04):
Is that where they go to deal out of Dallas?

Speaker 5 (29:06):
That might be the Dallas like training facility works for Zeke,
That's sure. It didn't work for Zeke. It worked for
the contract, but his legs was weak when he got back.

Speaker 6 (29:15):
And way I know.

Speaker 3 (29:18):
Exactly what Zeke, being number one of the depth charts,
that was that he goes Plan A for the Cowboys.

Speaker 6 (29:24):
You know what I saw.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
I saw that apparently things are going so well at
the running back position that they're considering a Miles Sanders
acquisition that that might be a target for the Cowboys.

Speaker 6 (29:36):
I had a nice acquisition for him. I'll tell you that.

Speaker 5 (29:38):
I mean, but help him out, you know, talk about
trying to get out of a place.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
It does feel like the to Brady's point that you know,
while everybody's been focused on whether or not Dak's gonna
get paid or c.

Speaker 6 (29:49):
D Lamb or Micah Parson's like, oh yeah.

Speaker 5 (29:52):
Can I throw something out at you guys position. And
I can't take credit for this because I saw it
on Twitter. For all of the asinine comments that are
are left on the Twitter feeds, there was this one
that I saw from a fan in particular, and it
made me go home, like I wondered, I'm curious, do
you feel like maybe Jerry Jones is looking at what

(30:14):
took place with this whole Direct TV Sunday ticket thing
and it's like, I need to pull back some money.
I need to make sure I hold up some moneys
to be able to pay for what we may have
to pay for in this settlement or defending whatever it
may be. Is there something to do with what that

(30:34):
settlement looks like that judgment where Jerry Jones and maybe
other owners may be like, we got a hold study
on giving out a major contract major contract because of
the implications of what took place with this Sunday ticket deal.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
I mean, they'd be operating different than everyone else then,
because it doesn't seem like other teams are bashful about it.
But the last update from that was the owners won
their appeal, so I mean, I'm sure it'll continue to
go back and forth. But whatever the most recent judgment was,
I believe, and I'm sure Lee can look this up
a research it, but I believe it was appealed and

(31:14):
then and then the owner's side one. So that'll that'll
continue on for a while. I'm sure in the court
system this is.

Speaker 6 (31:20):
Not gonna get settled for quite some time. It's gonna
just go back and forth.

Speaker 5 (31:25):
And that's a large ass piece of change that you're
gonna have to pay out if some way, somehow they
were to lose that. And I just wonder, is he
being proactive, like let me let me not get get
out of sorts with this, Like this.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
Could be conspiracy theory, whatever, But if something happens so
many times in a row, at a certain point you
got to ask is it intentional? Emmett Smith went into
the season, like two games into the season they finally
got a deal done. Zeke played out and was drama.
Dak Prescott played out and was drama. We've seen it

(31:59):
now with CD LAMB Dak Prescott again, Michael Parsons gonna
happen again. I just think this is the way Jerry
Jones does it. I don't think he minds the fact
that he's gonna have to pay a little bit more
because he's the last guy to get these deals done.
What he does, They just I think they love the
fact that the attention is on them.

Speaker 6 (32:14):
For as long.

Speaker 5 (32:15):
As we miss your CD, nobody misses you more than
Jerry does.

Speaker 6 (32:22):
Hurry on back and give Jerry old hug. Come on,
let's get the work. I think he loves it. He's like, yeah,
we'll pay a little bit more. But all the all
the clicks, all the eyeballs, I'm a rush. Why will
we pay in a hurry?

Speaker 5 (32:35):
Oh gosh, Well, let the young guys take these reps.

Speaker 6 (32:40):
I know who CD is. I think I better walk
back some of those statements I made la chump.

Speaker 5 (32:50):
All I need to do is pull out a couple
of them barrels of oil that I got around back.

Speaker 6 (32:54):
Don't worry about his CD. We get to pay oh man,
right out the end the preseason. We'll get you back. Yeah,
So how about them Cowboys? There you go. I mean
it's gonna get done before.

Speaker 5 (33:04):
The season, right, it's gonna. I really was skeptical about it,
but I think it will. Now how that works out
for other teams, I don't know. I think Cede Lamb
gets done, but then we're talking about all of the
other guys out there, I yuk, Jamar Chase, Trent, Trent Williams,
I don't. I don't think they all get done. I

(33:26):
don't think Jamar Chase gets done for some reason. I
don't feel like because I feel like the Bengals is
just like this this you know, Steelers team.

Speaker 6 (33:34):
I think they're forced.

Speaker 5 (33:35):
To have to do what they did with Joe Burrow,
but I don't think that they're going to extend themselves
with somebody else. I do not think that the San
Francisco forty nine ers are going to over extend themselves.
So how does that look for Trent? More to me,
I feel like more so for Trent Williams than it
is for for Brandon ayyuk. How does that play out?

Speaker 6 (33:53):
You know?

Speaker 5 (33:53):
And I just I think CD Lamb is probably the
only for sure, for sure shot in my estimate, who
gets a deal done going into this season.

Speaker 4 (34:04):
Yeah, well, kind of wonder if Jamar Chase gets one done.
Maybe he's like kind of floating around out there too.

Speaker 6 (34:09):
I know it.

Speaker 3 (34:09):
Here's one thing I do know. I do know we'll
be talking about Brendan, I you tomorrow.

Speaker 6 (34:13):
Damn Are you sure about that?

Speaker 4 (34:16):
Joe?

Speaker 3 (34:16):
I do know, because Jonas will make sure we do
yes right. He is going to beat this store like
a dead horse.

Speaker 2 (34:22):
Better believe it, every single day until something gets resolved.
That's the way this happens.

Speaker 1 (34:28):

Patrick Show weekdays in nine am Eastern six am Pacific

Speaker 2 (35:31):
By the way, is that everybody's worst of the weekend?
That Lee got his stuff stolen by some guys? Wor
the weekend?

Speaker 6 (35:39):
Just the home best of the weekend? Of course I
told you. I told you I'm not worst at the weekend.
I just can't tell it on my air.

Speaker 5 (35:50):
That was a horrible influence to my daughter's best friend
at dinner this this Friday night too many.

Speaker 6 (35:56):
LeVar Allen's I hate him, I.

Speaker 5 (36:02):
Said, saying with me to make you feel better, And
I was just saying something that I shouldn't have been saying.
Oh man, yeah, I was like I was not being
a responsible parent, man or an adult by that. That's
my worst moment, and I apologize. I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (36:22):
Well, let me do my best. First best, the fact
that Hope is back. You got all these teams in
the NFL that are Hope solo. Yeah, well they're trying
now I don't believe so. Oh they're they're looking around
trying to figure out if they've got the quarterback of
the future, their franchise guy, and it feels like after
one preseason game and a handful of plays for most
of them, the Bears feel like they got their guy.

(36:44):
So to the Commanders, so to the Broncos, so to
the Vikings. It's good to have hope back in the
world of football for some of these franchises. And whether
or not it pans out, who knows, because I'm pretty
sure C. J. Stroud struggled in his first preseason game
last year, and as a turn out, he was, you know,
one of the better rookie quarter of actually seen in
a long time.

Speaker 6 (37:03):
So that is my best of the weekend.

Speaker 4 (37:05):
That's nice.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
Worst of the weekend, Yeah, Lee getting his stuff stolen,
my homeless guy. It's not not ideal and it sucks.
And if you missed that, you can check out the podcast.
It was detailed thoroughly last.

Speaker 6 (37:18):
Hour here on the show. Geez, all right, who's next?

Speaker 4 (37:22):
I mean I was just going to say the best,
so I would say that the Olympics.

Speaker 3 (37:24):
I mean, you know, watching the men's team win win
a gold, women's team win a gold just kind of
closing out dominance. I believe in the total medal count,
the US ran away with it. However, Golds, I think
we end up tying China. So that was a little disappointing.
But I was just recapping what was a fun, awesome
Olympics for Team USA, and worst was probably yeah Lee

(37:48):
Lee having allowing dirty Mic and the boys to break
into his car and.

Speaker 5 (37:53):
Much dirty mic And that's the Nate. I want your fruit, cocktail.
Squirrel Master won't be here to protect you forever.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
Cocktail cocktail. What what's your best of the weekend? Of
them are my best of the weekend. I mean, I
worked out outside. I like when I'm able to work outside.
Me and mister six, mister Styx is a.

Speaker 5 (38:25):
Giant, like he's every bit of the mascot he should
be representing Stick City. We were sitting outside quite a
bit with family and all, and I got a lot
of work done, a lot of clarity sitting out there
with with that backdrop. So I was appreciative of, you know,
kind of well the life that I lived.

Speaker 6 (38:46):
I was. I was feeling grateful that was a Mosquito
street and you.

Speaker 5 (38:49):
You know what, I had a torch on underneath I
had a torch on underneath the table that was working
to our advantage of one on top, and it seemed
to do well.

Speaker 6 (39:01):
Oh, by the way, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (39:02):
If I sent it to you guys, but I did
steaks on on my on my ownie. Oh, I did
Pittsburgh style. Oh m g is fantastic. Hey bruh, the
like restaurant like five star if there was extra credit,

(39:23):
six star style steaks on on that bad boy man.

Speaker 6 (39:26):
That's all I'm gonna tell you.

Speaker 5 (39:28):
Pittsburgh Style and the Nie grillony oven dope man, Oh
