You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Hope you had a great weekend. Everybody gangs all here,
ready to go. Morale is high. We will recap the
final weekend of preseason action. Steelers still haven't named there
starting quarterback. We'll talk to the former Steeler head coach,
the Hall of famer Bill Kauer. He'll join us in
twenty minutes from now. Your phone call is always welcome,
especially on Monday. Best and worst of the weekend. What
(00:26):
you saw that you liked you didn't like. Good morning.

classic DP show T shirt. It has been updated and
(00:50):
you can buy it now. Danpatrick dot Com twenty twenty
four football season. Let's go. Did that sound that didn't sound?
That didn't sound Brady like? I remember being in the
end zone of a playoff game and Brady was running.
He'd always run out and he'd run to the end
(01:10):
zone and he'd go, let's effing go, and he's running
right towards me, and it was kind of weird because
I'm watching him and he's seeing me, and he's yelling
let's effing go, staring right at me, and then he
just ran right past me.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
So I just I.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Always think of that.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I don't think I could get to that point where
I'm that emotional like Tom was before every game.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
So let's go. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
Imagine if that's exactly what it sounded like, though, Like
he's running, he's pumping his arm, his helmet shaking, and
he just says, let's go.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
It looks like he's saying it very enthusiastically, but he's
running right towards me. There was a moment when the
Patriots played the Super Bowl and they were going out
for the second half and Tom I make eye contact
with Brady and he's going on to the field because
I'm I'm making eye contact on purpose because I'm thinking
(02:08):
I'm going to be on the podium with him if
they win this, and so just so we can establish
or reestablish that relationship. I'm doing some prep work there
at halftime. I just remember he walked out of the
locker room and then I was, I don't know, fifteen
feet away and he walked out and then he looked.
He didn't acknowledge, He just looked over at me, and
I went, okay, all right, you're going to play that game.
(02:30):
I'll see on the podium maybe. And then of course
we had the Russell Wilson situation. All right eight seven
seven three DP show email address dpat dan Patrick dot

In the NFL used to be they kind of trickled
these things out, like two weeks and then one week,
and then this would be the final cutdown the week
(02:52):
coming up on Tuesday. College football season a lot of
fun Week zero, no calories, but some people lost more
than just wait. Here is how it sounded with Georgia
Tech saying goodbye to Florida State's undefeated season.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Doty it up set.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
They sound the son so comical at the.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
End of the refrain.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
All right, Joe test the tour bringing it home there.
I don't know what he's going to sound like in December,
but he was pretty excited there for a week zero.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
Oh my lucky charms, how many more things?
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Yeah, first time we brought to you by Rapid Radios. Man,
we love these things.

question for our one is going to be what, uh.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Well, let's see this one is a hypothetical. Okay, one
of these matchups is real?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
One of them?
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Well, we can make up one. Would you rather watch
Week one? Which would you rather? Okay, Raven's Chiefs or
hypothetically two rookie quarterbacks facing each other.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
So if I could watch the Bears and the Commanders
even though they don't play each other, even though they don't, right, yeah,
but this is like Marcus Mariota Jameis Winston. They did
play opening week that wasn't a great game. I'd still
opt for Ravens Chiefs. Hey, but I at least thought
(04:52):
about it, because the NFL loves rookie quarterbacks. Because if
you said the Patriots, who do the Patriots play there
play Cincinnati? Well, now that the fact that Drake may
could be your starting quarterback. I'm like, if Jacobe Brissette
was starting, I'd go.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Maybe not.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
If Sam Howell or Trace McSorley was starting instead of
Jayden and Daniels, I'd go probably not. But you have rookies.
We may have four rookies starting. Bow Nix is starting
in Denver. You're gonna have Jaden Daniels, You're gonna have
Caleb Love, and maybe you're gonna have Drake May Caleb Williams.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Who did I say, kayleb blow hybrid over the Packer quarterback? Yes,
there you go.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Bears fans wish that he would be like Jordan Love.
They'd be fine with that. But you might have four
rookie quarterbacks starting, and that makes those games far more interesting.
Now you're going to watch the Bears. You know, the
Bears are nationally televised game Week two against the Texans.
Now that has a lot to do with the Texans
and expectation level. But also you have Caleb Williams going
(06:00):
against you know, c J. Stroud. That's interesting. Jade and
Daniels had a lot of fun. I just hope that
the Commanders show him video of RG three, like what
RG three did well, and you know where he got
himself in trouble where he ran and took on defenders,
because that's the only thing that's going to literally hurt
(06:23):
him figuratively hurt him is getting out of the pocket
and running because he is very slight. But he is
a whole lot of fun. And now I'm not to
the point where Chris Collinsworth was last night where he
was kind of frothing at the mouth over Jayden Well
even Drake may Drake may threw some passes where I go,
I don't know if those are great passes. I think
(06:46):
they were great catches, but you know that back shoulder.
It felt like every pass was behind a receiver and
then the receiver would get smashed, And I go, I
don't know if that's my design. If I'm a receiver.
After like this set her third one, I'm like, dude,
howbut you lead me instead of me getting you know,
whacked every time.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Yeah, Paulie, it's funny.
Speaker 7 (07:07):
You and Seaton came in here today and said, Drake
may Man, he's got some high footballs, he's got some
behind the back passes.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
I only saw one clip because I didn't see the game.
Speaker 7 (07:14):
I saw the highlight. He rolled left through right across
his body at all and just because of that clip,
I thought he had a great night.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
That's all it takes. You could have one drive and
all of a sudden, Russell Wilson comes out his game.
You're like, all right, here we go, all right, Russ,
here's Mike Tomlin on waiting this week the name his starter.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
We'll make a decision at the end of our work week.
Speaker 8 (07:37):
This upcoming week, we got three days of Stealers Versus
Steelers work, and why not do it? Then it kind of,
you know, minimizes the Steelers Versus Steelers work When we
started making decisions prior to the completion of that. We've
got ample time to put pare for Atlanta and make
whatever decisions or announcements regarding divisional labor or pecking orders
and so forth.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
And so we'll do it at the end of the
work week.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Do they need to an ounce? Why would you announce?
You have to announce the injuries. You don't have to
announce who your starting quarterback is, at least I don't
think you do. Why would you do it in the
first place If it's a foregone conclusion. I'm going to
guess the Steelers know who the starting quarterback's going to be.
And I'll ask Bill Kauer about this. It feels like
(08:20):
it's Russell Wilson. Now do I think this was a
true Hey, this is a competition that's open. No, I
do not, because I thought Justin Fields did some fun things,
interesting things.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Now you may not want to live and die by that.
I get that.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
But here's the problem I've seen so far is is
that Steeler offense going to be any better with a
new offensive coordinator? And are you going to be you know,
the offensive line? Bill Belichick pointed that out. That's the issue,
and it feels like I need somebody who might be
able to make a player two, and that would be
Justin Fields.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Is he a better quarterback?
Speaker 8 (08:58):
No?
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Is he a better playmaker? Yes? And you might need
that playmaker.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
You may need to have that risk and reward with
Justin Fields because you're going to have to generate some
offense and you're in the most competitive division in football.
You can't afford to get behind in a game. You
can't afford to get behind as far as wins in
that division. And Pittsburgh's got a tough road here because
(09:25):
I haven't seen. You know, the defense is good. We
know that they have playmakers there, certainly with TJ.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Watt.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
I just don't know if they have playmakers on offense.
You have a good offensive coordinator, and Bill Belichick when
he was on McAfee was singing the praises of Arthur Smith.
So I'm certainly going to trust what Bill has to say.
You can be a great offensive coordinator, you need to
have an offense that you can coordinate. That certainly would help.
Phone calls always welcome on Monday, best and worst of
(09:53):
the weekend. Operator Tyler is sitting by to take your
phone calls. So college football, that was fun, some really
interest games there, and the NFL with the final weekend
of the preseason. So we'll talk to Bill Kauer about that.
Some baseball, the good and the bad. Aaron Judge now
is on a pace to hit sixty three home runs
(10:15):
and the bad. The White Sox are now thirty one
and one hundred. I think it was three years ago
they won ninety three games.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
It's really hard to be that bad.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Second fastest team in the modern era to reach one
hundred losses the nineteen sixteen Phillies. Well that's not even
the modern era. Nineteen sixteen Phillies were twenty nine one
hundred and one oh tie. Yeah, they got a tie,
or they would have twenty nine one hundred and won.
(10:49):
So they got to one hundred losses faster. Yes, Pauline,
what year was that record from nineteen sixteen? I'm not
making a joker. I did not know it was possible
to have a tie in base in the history of baseball.
I've never seen a tie on a team's record slate. Well,
maybe we could do a deep dive on how they
came up with that tie. You would think that they
(11:10):
would resume the game and eventually get around to, Hey,
we're gonna we're gonna finish this game. By the way,
the Red Sox announced that Danny Jansen will replace Rehyese
Maguire as the catcher in the continuation of the Red
Sox suspended game today against the Blue Jays. So he
is the first player in baseball history to appear for
(11:32):
both teams in the same game.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
He was.
Speaker 8 (11:39):
Stead of a.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Day stant A day, Statava Day, Stantata Day.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
This is the stant of the Day stat of the Day,
brought to you by Panadi America, the official trading cards
to the program. So Danny Jansen was batting with an
one count for the Blue Jays when the game was suspended.
So he's going to be the catcher for his own
at bat, but he's going to be the catcher for
(12:06):
the Red Sox. Somebody else with the Blue Jays is
going to take I mean, how bizarre is that? First
time that's ever happened in baseball history? All right, pull
question seating anything else that you're thinking first hour in
this program.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Yeah, we could throw up there.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
Is it harder to win one hundred games or lose
one hundred games?
Speaker 4 (12:24):
That is not easy to do. Yeah, we also have
up there or we're about to put up there. Would
you rather retire a year early or a year late?
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Okay, I'm going to save that one. By the way,
I'm looking at week two. You got Russell Wilson at
bo Nicks at Denver, So Russ has to be your
starting quarterback at least for the first couple of weeks, right,
I mean, we got to keep with the story. This
is about content. These are TV shows. Cincinnati will be
(12:54):
at Kansas City, Chicago will be at Houston. Chicago. Houston
is Sunday, night on NBC Week two.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
But Pittsburgh at Denver and that's going to be the
big game for CBS. That's a four to twenty five
game on CBS. On Sunday, Cincinnati and Kansas City that'll
be a four to twenty five game on CBS as well.
So just some of the matchups there as we get ready.
(13:23):
No word yet on I guess the Cowboys and CD
LAMB are a million dollars apart, But I don't know
what that means because Jerry didn't have anything to say after,
you know, the final game. He didn't want to He
didn't have any updates. I shouldn't say he didn't want
to talk. He had no updates on CD LAMB. But
at like, at what point, let's say they're eight hundred
(13:45):
thousand or six fifty apart, do you then go ah, okay,
one side caves in there. I just I don't know
the risk and the reward for the Cowboys in CD
LAMB with this, you got to you have to be
ready to go football, ready to go, and Jerry knows
this to get ceedee LAMB, ready to go, ready to play.
(14:06):
Just feels like there's always something hanging over the Cowboys,
and you certainly have that with your quarterback and your
coach already, so you've you're adding, not subtracting. That always
makes me nervous, especially with a team like the Dallas Cowboys.
All right, we'll take a break. Your phone calls always welcome.
We'll get to those. We'll take a break. We'll talk
(14:26):
to the Hall of famer former Steeler head coach Mike Tom.
All right, Mike Tom, he'll be a future Hall of Famer.
Bill Cower will join us on the program right after this.

described us when he came on.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Quick, knowledgeable and funny, opinionated.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
What what are you doing interrupting our promo? Yeah, you
wasn't talking about you. You took those clips totally of context.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
Ying Big ten. Saturday Night is back this fallen NBC
in Peacock. The season kicks off Saturday Fresno State and
the defending national champs, number nine Michigan Wolverines. Here comes
Saturday Night. Here comes the Hall of Fame coach Bill
Kwer NFL Today on CBS Studio Analyst, we were talking
(15:46):
about philosophy on starting a rookie quarterback. You had Ben Roethlisberger,
but he didn't start week one, Is that correct?
Speaker 3 (15:54):
That's correct, Dan, Good to see you again. But yeah, no,
he did not start week one. There. In fact, the
whole idea when we drafted him, as we had Tommy
Maddox we Charlie Batch, is to be able to bring
them along slowly, which we did in training camp. Give
him you know, we worked mostly what he worked on
was the no huddle because we usually thought we'd put
him into the game at the end of a game
(16:15):
or at the end of a half and just to
give him a chance to kind of go out there
and do his things. So he did not start Week one.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
But that difference of just absorbing a game on the
sidelines as opposed to, you know, learning on the job.
How big of a jump is that for these quarterbacks.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
I think it's very big, and I think you know
a lot of times. To me, the approach that you
take is with the young guys. When you start the
season as a starter, there's not just the element of
the unknown, because the game is so much faster, so
much more complex, it's so much more involved when the
regular season starts as opposed to the preseason, So you've
got to make sure there's not a false sense of
(16:52):
confidence you have going in and then the expectation you
have of not letting down your teammates. So I think
ideally put a situation. How it played out for Ben
was great. He didn't have that expectation going in. He
was thrust it into the job when Tommy Madix got hurt,
so you really have time to think about it. So
it almost alleviated that type of pressure. I'm the second guy.
I'm going to come in here and just kind of
(17:13):
do my thing, and obviously from that time on he
won his first fifteen games because we kind of built
things around him. We had a defense, we had a
running game, and as he became more comfortable, we allowed
him to do a lot more things. From a passing standpoint.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Why is Mike Tomlin waiting?
Speaker 3 (17:29):
The name is starter, because there's two different styles of quarterback.
Why give someone a little extra time to prepare? I
think you're preparing for Russell Wilson. There's a there's you
can see that you know he's gonna stay in the pocket.
He's not looking to run, he's looking to throw down
the field. Justin field is an element in a running game.
He's another guy that he's an option. So I think
(17:52):
you know, it's just just doing it from a strategical standpoint,
And obviously you're going down with Arthur Smith his first
game at Atlanta where he just came from. And so
I think Russell will be the starter, and I think
will be a package of plays that you'll have for
justin fields and you see how that evolls to the
course of the season. So I think it's a very
natural and good position for them to be in right
now to evaluate both.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Yeah, It takes me back to Cordell Stewart.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Who was it Mike tom Zach I think, and so
you had sort of the older quarterback and then you
had the younger quarterback who was more athletic. Now granted
Tom Zach and Russell Wilson are different talent wise, but
trying to incorporate. Can you see Mike trying to incorporate
justin fields sort of similarly, Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
I mean, he'll keep them involved, and I think again
they can taking the pressure of not having to start.
Russell's been there. There's a package you're going to want
to do. It's a play. Action will be a big
part of what they do, and that plays into what
Russell does best. So I think the running game is
going to be the forefront. They got to get the
offensive line straightened out, but they've got a lot of
pieces up there, and certainly when Fontaneu got the number
(19:00):
one pick this year, brought it, Jones had to go
to the right side. They see him on the left side.
But now you have Zack Frazier and there, I think
was a great pick for them in the second round
as a starting center. So there's a lot of good
places pieces in place, but it takes time for those
guys to kind of come together. But I think he's
going to keep them both in play because justin fields
is just too big of a weapon. He gives you
(19:21):
the big plays that maybe you're not going to get
in the passing game, but in the running game, he
gives you another thing that they have to defend.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
I'm talking to Bill Cower, the Hall of Fame coach
NFL today on CBS Studio analyst. One of your fellow
studio analysts, JJ Watt, you said showed up, looked like
he's in playing shape. I don't know if JJ appreciated
what you said, but can you see a team reaching
out to JJ Watt and tempting him to come out
of retirement.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Yeah, I think it's gonna have to be the right situation.
I think the only place that it would ever be
the case probably could be the Houston Texans or even
maybe the Pittsburgh Steelers that they came down to it
and it have to be what his rule would be.
But I think, yeah, I jokingly say that because you
look at him right now, he is traded. He looks
like he's actually at the same way he was when
he played. There's not much body fat on that. So
(20:09):
I'm just like, Okay, at some point are you going
to come and bring down? But are you ready to
play again? So, but JJ's got a lot of things
going on. He's such a talented man. It came off
the field and I'm looking forward to working with him
at CBS this this fall.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Yeah, he talked about being tempted of coming back and
trying to play for Green Bay but with his brother,
I mean it'd be kind of cool, but I don't
mean you do.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
The Texans still own his rights, though.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
I think he can go anywhere he wants right now
because he's been out of the game for a couple
of year now or two years, so he's he I
think I think his contract has done so he would
have to do that. He could sign anywhere, but I
think the Texans is worse. Hearts at and obviously with
his brother in Pittsburgh. I would think those are the
only two places in my opinion.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
When you watch Patrick Mahomes, if you're going to have
a I guess a defensive plan, well would you do?
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Like?
Speaker 4 (21:01):
What do you take?
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Like?
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Do you subscribe to what Belichick says? Let me take
away your best weapon.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Yeah, I mean, I think certainly Travis Kelcey is a
go to for him, and I think that's the guy.
He's got some other people, you know, certainly that they
picked up the rookie receiver. But for me, Patrick Mahomes,
you have to keep him in the pocket and just
you know, and take your chances there, because when he
gets out of the pocket, his vision, his ability to improvise,
his ability to create is something that you can't defend
(21:30):
because the plague gets extended longer, and if longer the
plague gets extended or more heats, vision opens up and
he's got the accuracy and the ability to make all
types of different throws. So to me, making him stay
in the pocket, taking away Travis Kelsey, I start right
there and then live with whatever goes from that.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Yeah, but how do you keep him in the pocket.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
You know, it sounds good, but then the game happens
and then all of a sudden he's out out of
the pocket.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
You know, I think Lilian had a pretty good plan
against in the Cincinnati Mangles when they played against them
in the championship game. And you have to mix things
up against someone like Patrick Mahomes. You can't go in
there and show them the same thing in the first
quarter in the fourth court that you're show them in
the first quarter. So to me, it's about mixing up
the looks. It's about bringing three man pressures, about bringing
five man pressures, but again making sure that I've got
(22:21):
containment on both those edges so that you know he's
gonna try to step up as well. But I would
run him more in the pocket executing a passing game
than when he gets outside the pocket.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Would you rather face, Well, who would you rather not face?
Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers or Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Oh that's a great choice. I brought it up. Face
any of those three.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
I mean, but you got to pick one. You gotta go, Okay,
I Well, I.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Mean, I think I think the one thing that you
look at with Patrick is the improvisation. I mean, those
are things it's hard to prepare for. Like you just
talked about, how would you stop keep them in a pocket?
Easier set than done, because they do a great job
with that, with all the different things that they do
with Andy Rea's offense, just spread you out, So they
try to spread out the coverage and open up some
(23:09):
of the ways because you can't fix you can't fill
every wane. When you start having the things spread out, Certainly,
Tom Brady's going to pick you apart by reading you.
Aaron Rodgers can make all the throws, still has the mobility.
So there's they all have three elements to them. But
they're all just special players. And so but I say,
right now, just because the athleticism that Patrick Mahomes presents,
(23:30):
he'd be the least. He'd be the one person that
would fear me the most.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
How do you sum up the Dallas Cowboys situation here
with the coach and his last year quarterback and his
last year star receiver is holding out Michael Parsons looking
for a new deal a little early. So how do
you handicap what to expect out of the Cowboys.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
There's a sense of urgency, for sure. I think everybody's
playing for contracts, some people are playing for jobs. A
unique situation down there, because like you said, you know
it's probably hard for you know, you look at Dak Dak,
I mean, why is he going to sign an extension?
You don't even know who the coach is going to
be next year because the coach is in the last
year of his contracts. So you know, there's there's a
(24:14):
little bit of flux down there, turmoil if you want
to use theatrics. But isn't that always kind of the
Dallas Cowboys. They may they kind of thrive in that
kind of atmosphere. So it's one of those things that
right now, a lot's going to happen over the next
couple of weeks. Uh. You know, I think City Land
will get in there. I think Mike is going to
be their Week one and I think what you'll have
is a quarterback and the head coach that are kind
(24:35):
of playing for their both both their careers, and I
you know, in a weird way, probably not the worst
thing in the world, but you know, the one thing
that happens with situations like that is you get into adversity.
Do you come together or do splinter apart? And that's
the thing that happens. You know, if he comes out early,
the season starts out, you know a little question more
early in the season, how do they handle adversity?
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Did you ever get involved in a salary dispute?
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Uh? With the you know what when the players had it?
You know, all I try to do is I know,
I never negotiated on behalf of anybody. You know, I always,
if I did anything, I understood where the player was
at and you know, understood what they're looking for. And
at times, you know, you know that this is where
we are with where you know, how we approach things philosophically,
(25:22):
and sometimes that's not going to mess with what you want.
And I always tried to say, like, put a price
of enjoying where you go to work, put a monetary
value on that. And if that doesn't meet what if
you can't meet that, bridget together with that, then play
it out and I wish you nothing but the best.
So I mean, I think again, as a coach, you
want to try to seize every year because every year
(25:44):
is different, and sometimes if it's the last year of
a contract or a player, I want to make sure
that I'm doing that. I'm not looking to develop my
team for next year. I'm looking to take advantage of
this year and get the most I can because that's
that's only being fair to the players who are going
on year to year basis. The veterans are a year
So I'm not trying to develop a younger team. Okay,
well we'll be good two or three years. No, every
(26:04):
year to me is an opportunity to make the playoffs
and establish a winning atmosphere within your culture, within your
your building.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
What's the coolest thing in your office.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
The coolest thing in my office was actually the very
first signing bonus I got. I actually got to check.
But signing bonus was I was a rookie. I was.
I was a free agent with the Cleveland Browns as
I got cut the year before, and so I signed
for one thousand dollars signing bows and I still have
the check when they took out the taxes for six
hundred and eighty two dollars. So every time people come
(26:38):
in and just talked about guaranteed money and what they had,
so I used to walk over to my desk and
just say, listen, I got to show you this, this
signing bonus of mine, because it's it just tells you
that you're here because you love the game. Those things
will take care of themselves. But this is what I
played for because I was a backup player in my
you know, so I love the game. So I kept
that check there. At times when just put things in
(27:00):
this proper perspective.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
When's the last time you had a real itch to coach.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
You know what, Dan, I know what it entails. I
love talking to coaches even today and talking about things
that I see from the outside. I know on the inside,
it's not everything you see on the outside. There's a
lot of other things that take place. But you know,
clock management, I see that at times, you know, being
able to play to your strengths and not to try
(27:27):
to develop something that you're not understand who your identity
is as a football team. And I kind of like
what I see. I mean, I love the fact that
we've got in this passing link. This past year, we
had eight new head coaches. Five of them were defensive coordinators.
So now all of a sudden, the defense has becoming
a little bit of that. Why because all of a sudden,
you saw the Kansas City Chiefs reached a basement of
(27:49):
where they were a year ago on Christmas Day, frustration
on the sidelines. What got them back into the playoff
hunt was all sudden. This guy named Isaiah Picicecko gave
a degree of toughness on offense. Fans became stifling, and
they went into the playoffs as underdogs and kind of
used that chip on their shoulder. No one believes in us,
you know, they don't. They don't respect us. So you know,
(28:10):
it still goes a long way having balance on your team.
Even as great as Patrick mahonomes is. It was the
running game with Isaiah, but Checko was a defense that
led also to that championship. Special player, no question. And
then you see five of the eight defensive coordinators and
the sixth to one was Jim Harball. We know what
Jim Harbor is going to do. He's going to run
the football. You know. He brings in Greg Roman from Baltimore,
(28:32):
a couple of bats from Baltimore, and take Justin Herbert
and say, okay, I know you're a great quarterback, but
we're going to give you a balance running attack as well.
So the NFL is cyclical. I really believe that we
go through periods and trends of wanting to throw the
ball and be this really open team, but really to
have sustained success, it goes back to the same thing. Yes,
a great quarterback is your lawyer's looking for that, but
(28:53):
you better have a balanced football team that can throw it,
that can run it, that can play defense, that have
a good kicking game.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Avoided the question, there, coach, when's the last time we
had a true itch to come back where somebody reached
down to you to coach.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Oh, I've spent years. I may I spent a few years.
I mean, I just don't have the inchest to make
that kind of demand, the time demand, because I know
what it is. I mean it's a you know, I
love coaching on Sundays, but I also love the off season, Dan,
I mean, I love when the season's over to be
able to travel. I don't get involved with pre agency.
I watched the draft. I don't study the draft. I
see the OTAs I see training camp and I get that, Okay,
(29:31):
this is awesome, but get to talk to the coaches
on Monday. But I've said this before. I'm going to
my eighteenth year at CBS. I said, I coach every
team every Sunday, and I haven't lost a game in
eighteen years, so I feel really good the rest of
the week. So I have not gone that ditch in
a few years.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Well, sometimes you need to have your wife remind you.
You know that's it's like no, no, no, no, no no,
remember we're not doing this.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
I know, I know, I know, No bill, we're not
doing this right.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Well, my wife, who's musician, she was never like I
met her after I got out of it, and she's
always been saying, if you want to do it, you
can do it. And I would say, but that I
would not be spending the same time that we're having
this conversation. I would not be with you right now.
So you know, there's always been great places on the beach,
you know, in the city and a restaurant. We wouldn't
be here right now. So I would be in that
(30:21):
building trying to change a culture, committed to making sure
that we win, and trying to build a championship team.
So I said, but and that's that's the commitment that
coaches have to make. That's the commitment that wives have
to make, which is very very much a sacrificial situation,
a position that you have. You're the mother of the father,
you run the household. You're trying to keep things stable,
(30:41):
you know, keep people from from the media overreacting to
every loss, overreacting to wins. So it's it's a lifestyle.
You're living in a bubble. And I loved it for
the period of time I did it, but no interest
in going back.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
But when you're taking out the garbage, you know, just
you know, does it kind of hit you like I'm
taking out the garbage like I should be prepping for
you know, opening week and.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Know and I am right now I'm talking to you.
We got two weeks and we get to talk about
all these teams and I think everything that's doing. So
I have the platform, which is why I really do
love what I do on Sundays to be able to
talk about it from a strategical standpoint, from a just
a tactical standpoint, from just an organizational cultural standpoint of
trying to build something that's sustainable over a long period
(31:27):
of time. And again, you know, I try it. I
have contacts throughout the league with people and talk with
them about what I see. And again, I know that
there's a lot more behind the closed doors than with
what you see from the outside looking in. But I
just love talking about it. I love the game.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
I'll bet you take out the garbage intensely.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Oh, I you know what I do. I do like
doing dishes too, like like at night, so I don't
mind cleaning up at night. I do take the garbage
and make sure if it gets done. I walk it
down and take it out to the recyclable train and
the garbage you can, So you got the two different
elements to it. So yeah, I don't I don't mind
doing the little things around the house. I really don't.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Great to talk to you. Have fun this upcoming season,
and thanks for joining us.

call it. He said Georgia Tech outright against Florida State.
(33:58):
DraftKings is all already updated their odds to win the ACC.
It's not Florida State anymore. Florida State was the favorite
prior to Week zero. Now it's Clemson, Miami, NC State,
and then Florida State. I was watching College game Day,
no matter what Kirkkurbstreet was talking about, no matter what
(34:21):
team he was talking about. The Florida State fans who
showed up pregame booed Kirk Kurbstreet, and I don't know
exactly what Herbie said or didn't say in support of
Florida State or Alabet. I mean Nick Saban, by the way, Savan,
Now that's a debut. You want to have an analyst
who shows up ready to go, prepared, not waiting for
(34:44):
you to spoon feed them. Whoo, Nick Saban, that's a
great debut. He was carrying that program for a while.
But Saban even said, look, I got all the one
thousand phone calls, you know, blaming me for Florida State
not being in. Well, now you have the twelve team playoff.
That shouldn't be an issue for any team now moving forward.
(35:06):
But Herbie, Florida State fans were coming after him everything.
It didn't matter if he was talking about Montana State,
they were booing him. But in Ireland, okay, so college
football season opens in Ireland, Major League Baseball opened in Korea.
You got the NFL, the second game in the NFL,
(35:27):
a Friday night game in Brazil. It's all about global
expansion here. You're trying to get into markets that you
can tap into a new financial resource. That's what's going
on here. The NFL, of course, has been doing this.
Rich Eisen said on the pat McAfee show that he
thinks the entire international package for TV will be up
(35:49):
for grabs, that somebody could maybe get that eventually. I mean, look,
the NFL is about making money, plain and simple. How
do we make more money? How about all of these
international games? And then if you go to an eighteen
game schedule, from what I'm told, you're going to have
even more of these international games, and maybe they sell
that by itself. That's a standalone yeah, seton.
Speaker 5 (36:12):
You can't expand college football globally though.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
No, but I think you can do it in a
way that more people might watch because it was in
Dublin definitely, or if you have a game in Germany
you might watch. So I don't know, like the NFL
is expanding into those other countries because those countries now,
I think Germany is the home of the Kansas City Chiefs.
(36:36):
They want to have these markets, they want to have
these countries that are absorbing the NFL. I mean, you
have London, and I don't know if we'll ever get
a team in London. In fact, I don't think we'll
get a team in London. I think now it's about
let's bounce around to these different places. And you'll have
a home away from home game for you know, you
(36:57):
got Eagles and the Packers in Brazil. You don't know
if Brazil was going to lay claim to one of
these teams. But then you can always go back and
the revenue that's generated, that's what it's all about. I
don't know if baseball you know. The fact that you
had Otani on display in Korea, I understood it.
Speaker 4 (37:15):
Look I.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
I've kind of been kicking and screaming against baseball being exported,
but this was Otani take advantage of it, Okay, I
just I don't know.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
It's opening day and opening day of baseball.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
Being from Cincinnati, Cincinnati used to have the first game
and it was a big deal, not as much as
it used to be. And the NFL exporting games, I
don't know. As a fan, do you really care if
it's in Brazil or Germany? Probably not, as long as
you get to see it. Now London, it's early in
the morning and the game usually is not very good,
(37:53):
and now you're going to be streaming that at nine
in the morning and you're like, uh, I don't know,
maybe I'll just wait for the highlight. But this is
what sports has become yeah, And I don't know if
there was any real outcry of why are they playing
that game in Dublin? Having been there last year, the
atmosphere was wonderful, stadium was great, and you know, you
(38:14):
had a lot of people traveled for that.
Speaker 4 (38:17):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
It doesn't happen very often. I think it's gonna happen
a little bit more. All right, Best and Worst of

Speaker 6 (39:51):
It just sounds different. Worst of the weekend Colorado fans
Denver Post reporter from asking coach primetime ball questions. What
sounds like a bunch of bull junk to me? Dan,
I don't know. The kool aid up in Colorado seems
to be becoming.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
Man not good.
Speaker 4 (40:12):
Thank you, Buddha.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
Yeah, I'm trying to follow along what Dion is doing
with this columnist with the Denver Post. Now, if they're
personal attacks, then I understand where you're going to say. Look,
I'm you know, you're a public university. I don't think
you can ban him from being there. But I've been
at press conferences where a coach didn't call on me,
didn't you know, because of something I had said? And
(40:37):
so I it does happen, but this is this has
become personal. From Dion's side, I don't know if it's personal.
From the Denver Post columnists side.
Speaker 3 (40:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (40:46):
Pauli the Post columnist and named Sean Keeler. He was,
according to the article, was banned indefinitely from asking questions
at football events. It doesn't say whether they could attend
or not, but asking questions. The school site had quote
a series of sustained personal test against a football program
and specifically coach Prime.

(00:50):
you can buy it now. Danpatrick dot Com twenty twenty
four football season. Let's go. Did that sound that didn't sound?
That didn't sound Brady like? I remember being in the
end zone of a playoff game and Brady was running.
He'd always run out and he'd run to the end
(01:10):
zone and he'd go, let's effing go, and he's running
right towards me, and it was kind of weird because
I'm watching him and he's seeing me, and he's yelling
let's effing go, staring right at me, and then he
just ran right past me.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
So I just I.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Always think of that.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I don't think I could get to that point where
I'm that emotional like Tom was before every game.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
So let's go. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
Imagine if that's exactly what it sounded like, though, Like
he's running, he's pumping his arm, his helmet shaking, and
he just says, let's go.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
It looks like he's saying it very enthusiastically, but he's
running right towards me. There was a moment when the
Patriots played the Super Bowl and they were going out
for the second half and Tom I make eye contact
with Brady and he's going on to the field because
I'm I'm making eye contact on purpose because I'm thinking
(02:08):
I'm going to be on the podium with him if
they win this, and so just so we can establish
or reestablish that relationship. I'm doing some prep work there
at halftime. I just remember he walked out of the
locker room and then I was, I don't know, fifteen
feet away and he walked out and then he looked.
He didn't acknowledge, He just looked over at me, and
I went, okay, all right, you're going to play that game.
(02:30):
I'll see on the podium maybe. And then of course
we had the Russell Wilson situation. All right eight seven
seven three DP show email address dpat dan Patrick dot

In the NFL used to be they kind of trickled
these things out, like two weeks and then one week,
and then this would be the final cutdown the week
(02:52):
coming up on Tuesday. College football season a lot of
fun Week zero, no calories, but some people lost more
than just wait. Here is how it sounded with Georgia
Tech saying goodbye to Florida State's undefeated season.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Doty it up set.

I don't know what he's going to sound like in December,
but he was pretty excited there for a week zero.
Speaker 5 (03:40):

question for our one is going to be what, uh.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Well, let's see this one is a hypothetical. Okay, one
of these matchups is real?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
One of them?
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Well, we can make up one. Would you rather watch
Week one? Which would you rather? Okay, Raven's Chiefs or
hypothetically two rookie quarterbacks facing each other.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
So if I could watch the Bears and the Commanders
even though they don't play each other, even though they don't, right, yeah,
but this is like Marcus Mariota Jameis Winston. They did
play opening week that wasn't a great game. I'd still
opt for Ravens Chiefs. Hey, but I at least thought
(04:52):
about it, because the NFL loves rookie quarterbacks. Because if
you said the Patriots, who do the Patriots play there
play Cincinnati? Well, now that the fact that Drake may
could be your starting quarterback. I'm like, if Jacobe Brissette
was starting, I'd go.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Maybe not.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
If Sam Howell or Trace McSorley was starting instead of
Jayden and Daniels, I'd go probably not. But you have rookies.
We may have four rookies starting. Bow Nix is starting
in Denver. You're gonna have Jaden Daniels, You're gonna have
Caleb Love, and maybe you're gonna have Drake May Caleb Williams.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Who did I say, kayleb blow hybrid over the Packer quarterback? Yes,
there you go.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Bears fans wish that he would be like Jordan Love.
They'd be fine with that. But you might have four
rookie quarterbacks starting, and that makes those games far more interesting.
Now you're going to watch the Bears. You know, the
Bears are nationally televised game Week two against the Texans.
Now that has a lot to do with the Texans
and expectation level. But also you have Caleb Williams going
(06:00):
against you know, c J. Stroud. That's interesting. Jade and
Daniels had a lot of fun. I just hope that
the Commanders show him video of RG three, like what
RG three did well, and you know where he got
himself in trouble where he ran and took on defenders,
because that's the only thing that's going to literally hurt
(06:23):
him figuratively hurt him is getting out of the pocket
and running because he is very slight. But he is
a whole lot of fun. And now I'm not to
the point where Chris Collinsworth was last night where he
was kind of frothing at the mouth over Jayden Well
even Drake may Drake may threw some passes where I go,
I don't know if those are great passes. I think
(06:46):
they were great catches, but you know that back shoulder.
It felt like every pass was behind a receiver and
then the receiver would get smashed, And I go, I
don't know if that's my design. If I'm a receiver.
After like this set her third one, I'm like, dude,
howbut you lead me instead of me getting you know,
whacked every time.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Yeah, Paulie, it's funny.
Speaker 7 (07:07):
You and Seaton came in here today and said, Drake
may Man, he's got some high footballs, he's got some
behind the back passes.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
I only saw one clip because I didn't see the game.
Speaker 7 (07:14):
I saw the highlight. He rolled left through right across
his body at all and just because of that clip,
I thought he had a great night.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
That's all it takes. You could have one drive and
all of a sudden, Russell Wilson comes out his game.
You're like, all right, here we go, all right, Russ,
here's Mike Tomlin on waiting this week the name his starter.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
We'll make a decision at the end of our work week.
Speaker 8 (07:37):
This upcoming week, we got three days of Stealers Versus
Steelers work, and why not do it? Then it kind of,
you know, minimizes the Steelers Versus Steelers work When we
started making decisions prior to the completion of that. We've
got ample time to put pare for Atlanta and make
whatever decisions or announcements regarding divisional labor or pecking orders
and so forth.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
And so we'll do it at the end of the
work week.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Do they need to an ounce? Why would you announce?
You have to announce the injuries. You don't have to
announce who your starting quarterback is, at least I don't
think you do. Why would you do it in the
first place If it's a foregone conclusion. I'm going to
guess the Steelers know who the starting quarterback's going to be.
And I'll ask Bill Kauer about this. It feels like
(08:20):
it's Russell Wilson. Now do I think this was a
true Hey, this is a competition that's open. No, I
do not, because I thought Justin Fields did some fun things,
interesting things.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Now you may not want to live and die by that.
I get that.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
But here's the problem I've seen so far is is
that Steeler offense going to be any better with a
new offensive coordinator? And are you going to be you know,
the offensive line? Bill Belichick pointed that out. That's the issue,
and it feels like I need somebody who might be
able to make a player two, and that would be
Justin Fields.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Is he a better quarterback?
Speaker 8 (08:58):
No?
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Is he a better playmaker? Yes? And you might need
that playmaker.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
You may need to have that risk and reward with
Justin Fields because you're going to have to generate some
offense and you're in the most competitive division in football.
You can't afford to get behind in a game. You
can't afford to get behind as far as wins in
that division. And Pittsburgh's got a tough road here because
(09:25):
I haven't seen. You know, the defense is good. We
know that they have playmakers there, certainly with TJ.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Watt.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
I just don't know if they have playmakers on offense.
You have a good offensive coordinator, and Bill Belichick when
he was on McAfee was singing the praises of Arthur Smith.
So I'm certainly going to trust what Bill has to say.
You can be a great offensive coordinator, you need to
have an offense that you can coordinate. That certainly would help.
Phone calls always welcome on Monday, best and worst of
(09:53):
the weekend. Operator Tyler is sitting by to take your
phone calls. So college football, that was fun, some really
interest games there, and the NFL with the final weekend
of the preseason. So we'll talk to Bill Kauer about that.
Some baseball, the good and the bad. Aaron Judge now
is on a pace to hit sixty three home runs
(10:15):
and the bad. The White Sox are now thirty one
and one hundred. I think it was three years ago
they won ninety three games.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
It's really hard to be that bad.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Second fastest team in the modern era to reach one
hundred losses the nineteen sixteen Phillies. Well that's not even
the modern era. Nineteen sixteen Phillies were twenty nine one
hundred and one oh tie. Yeah, they got a tie,
or they would have twenty nine one hundred and won.
(10:49):
So they got to one hundred losses faster. Yes, Pauline,
what year was that record from nineteen sixteen? I'm not
making a joker. I did not know it was possible
to have a tie in base in the history of baseball.
I've never seen a tie on a team's record slate. Well,
maybe we could do a deep dive on how they
came up with that tie. You would think that they
(11:10):
would resume the game and eventually get around to, Hey,
we're gonna we're gonna finish this game. By the way,
the Red Sox announced that Danny Jansen will replace Rehyese
Maguire as the catcher in the continuation of the Red
Sox suspended game today against the Blue Jays. So he
is the first player in baseball history to appear for
(11:32):
both teams in the same game.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
He was.
Speaker 8 (11:39):
Stead of a.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Day stant A day, Statava Day, Stantata Day.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
This is the stant of the Day stat of the Day,
brought to you by Panadi America, the official trading cards
to the program. So Danny Jansen was batting with an
one count for the Blue Jays when the game was suspended.
So he's going to be the catcher for his own
at bat, but he's going to be the catcher for
(12:06):
the Red Sox. Somebody else with the Blue Jays is
going to take I mean, how bizarre is that? First
time that's ever happened in baseball history? All right, pull
question seating anything else that you're thinking first hour in
this program.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Yeah, we could throw up there.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
Is it harder to win one hundred games or lose
one hundred games?
Speaker 4 (12:24):
That is not easy to do. Yeah, we also have
up there or we're about to put up there. Would
you rather retire a year early or a year late?
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Okay, I'm going to save that one. By the way,
I'm looking at week two. You got Russell Wilson at
bo Nicks at Denver, So Russ has to be your
starting quarterback at least for the first couple of weeks, right,
I mean, we got to keep with the story. This
is about content. These are TV shows. Cincinnati will be
(12:54):
at Kansas City, Chicago will be at Houston. Chicago. Houston
is Sunday, night on NBC Week two.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
But Pittsburgh at Denver and that's going to be the
big game for CBS. That's a four to twenty five
game on CBS. On Sunday, Cincinnati and Kansas City that'll
be a four to twenty five game on CBS as well.
So just some of the matchups there as we get ready.
(13:23):
No word yet on I guess the Cowboys and CD
LAMB are a million dollars apart, But I don't know
what that means because Jerry didn't have anything to say after,
you know, the final game. He didn't want to He
didn't have any updates. I shouldn't say he didn't want
to talk. He had no updates on CD LAMB. But
at like, at what point, let's say they're eight hundred
(13:45):
thousand or six fifty apart, do you then go ah, okay,
one side caves in there. I just I don't know
the risk and the reward for the Cowboys in CD
LAMB with this, you got to you have to be
ready to go football, ready to go, and Jerry knows
this to get ceedee LAMB, ready to go, ready to play.
(14:06):
Just feels like there's always something hanging over the Cowboys,
and you certainly have that with your quarterback and your
coach already, so you've you're adding, not subtracting. That always
makes me nervous, especially with a team like the Dallas Cowboys.
All right, we'll take a break. Your phone calls always welcome.
We'll get to those. We'll take a break. We'll talk
(14:26):
to the Hall of famer former Steeler head coach Mike Tom.
All right, Mike Tom, he'll be a future Hall of Famer.
Bill Cower will join us on the program right after this.

Speaker 4 (15:00):
Quick, knowledgeable and funny, opinionated.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
What what are you doing interrupting our promo? Yeah, you
wasn't talking about you. You took those clips totally of context.

Oh yeah, well, after this promo, I'm gonna take you
out and beat you.
Speaker 4 (15:15):

Speaker 2 (15:24):
Ying Big ten. Saturday Night is back this fallen NBC
in Peacock. The season kicks off Saturday Fresno State and
the defending national champs, number nine Michigan Wolverines. Here comes
Saturday Night. Here comes the Hall of Fame coach Bill
Kwer NFL Today on CBS Studio Analyst, we were talking
(15:46):
about philosophy on starting a rookie quarterback. You had Ben Roethlisberger,
but he didn't start week one, Is that correct?
Speaker 3 (15:54):
That's correct, Dan, Good to see you again. But yeah, no,
he did not start week one. There. In fact, the
whole idea when we drafted him, as we had Tommy
Maddox we Charlie Batch, is to be able to bring
them along slowly, which we did in training camp. Give
him you know, we worked mostly what he worked on
was the no huddle because we usually thought we'd put
him into the game at the end of a game
(16:15):
or at the end of a half and just to
give him a chance to kind of go out there
and do his things. So he did not start Week one.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
But that difference of just absorbing a game on the
sidelines as opposed to, you know, learning on the job.
How big of a jump is that for these quarterbacks.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
I think it's very big, and I think you know
a lot of times. To me, the approach that you
take is with the young guys. When you start the
season as a starter, there's not just the element of
the unknown, because the game is so much faster, so
much more complex, it's so much more involved when the
regular season starts as opposed to the preseason, So you've
got to make sure there's not a false sense of
(16:52):
confidence you have going in and then the expectation you
have of not letting down your teammates. So I think
ideally put a situation. How it played out for Ben
was great. He didn't have that expectation going in. He
was thrust it into the job when Tommy Madix got hurt,
so you really have time to think about it. So
it almost alleviated that type of pressure. I'm the second guy.
I'm going to come in here and just kind of
(17:13):
do my thing, and obviously from that time on he
won his first fifteen games because we kind of built
things around him. We had a defense, we had a
running game, and as he became more comfortable, we allowed
him to do a lot more things. From a passing standpoint.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Why is Mike Tomlin waiting?
Speaker 3 (17:29):
The name is starter, because there's two different styles of quarterback.
Why give someone a little extra time to prepare? I
think you're preparing for Russell Wilson. There's a there's you
can see that you know he's gonna stay in the pocket.
He's not looking to run, he's looking to throw down
the field. Justin field is an element in a running game.
He's another guy that he's an option. So I think
(17:52):
you know, it's just just doing it from a strategical standpoint,
And obviously you're going down with Arthur Smith his first
game at Atlanta where he just came from. And so
I think Russell will be the starter, and I think
will be a package of plays that you'll have for
justin fields and you see how that evolls to the
course of the season. So I think it's a very
natural and good position for them to be in right
now to evaluate both.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Yeah, It takes me back to Cordell Stewart.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Who was it Mike tom Zach I think, and so
you had sort of the older quarterback and then you
had the younger quarterback who was more athletic. Now granted
Tom Zach and Russell Wilson are different talent wise, but
trying to incorporate. Can you see Mike trying to incorporate
justin fields sort of similarly, Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
I mean, he'll keep them involved, and I think again
they can taking the pressure of not having to start.
Russell's been there. There's a package you're going to want
to do. It's a play. Action will be a big
part of what they do, and that plays into what
Russell does best. So I think the running game is
going to be the forefront. They got to get the
offensive line straightened out, but they've got a lot of
pieces up there, and certainly when Fontaneu got the number
(19:00):
one pick this year, brought it, Jones had to go
to the right side. They see him on the left side.
But now you have Zack Frazier and there, I think
was a great pick for them in the second round
as a starting center. So there's a lot of good
places pieces in place, but it takes time for those
guys to kind of come together. But I think he's
going to keep them both in play because justin fields
is just too big of a weapon. He gives you
(19:21):
the big plays that maybe you're not going to get
in the passing game, but in the running game, he
gives you another thing that they have to defend.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
I'm talking to Bill Cower, the Hall of Fame coach
NFL today on CBS Studio analyst. One of your fellow
studio analysts, JJ Watt, you said showed up, looked like
he's in playing shape. I don't know if JJ appreciated
what you said, but can you see a team reaching
out to JJ Watt and tempting him to come out
of retirement.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Yeah, I think it's gonna have to be the right situation.
I think the only place that it would ever be
the case probably could be the Houston Texans or even
maybe the Pittsburgh Steelers that they came down to it
and it have to be what his rule would be.
But I think, yeah, I jokingly say that because you
look at him right now, he is traded. He looks
like he's actually at the same way he was when
he played. There's not much body fat on that. So
(20:09):
I'm just like, Okay, at some point are you going
to come and bring down? But are you ready to
play again? So, but JJ's got a lot of things
going on. He's such a talented man. It came off
the field and I'm looking forward to working with him
at CBS this this fall.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Yeah, he talked about being tempted of coming back and
trying to play for Green Bay but with his brother,
I mean it'd be kind of cool, but I don't
mean you do.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
The Texans still own his rights, though.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
I think he can go anywhere he wants right now
because he's been out of the game for a couple
of year now or two years, so he's he I
think I think his contract has done so he would
have to do that. He could sign anywhere, but I
think the Texans is worse. Hearts at and obviously with
his brother in Pittsburgh. I would think those are the
only two places in my opinion.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
When you watch Patrick Mahomes, if you're going to have
a I guess a defensive plan, well would you do?
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Like?
Speaker 4 (21:01):
What do you take?
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Like?
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Do you subscribe to what Belichick says? Let me take
away your best weapon.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Yeah, I mean, I think certainly Travis Kelcey is a
go to for him, and I think that's the guy.
He's got some other people, you know, certainly that they
picked up the rookie receiver. But for me, Patrick Mahomes,
you have to keep him in the pocket and just
you know, and take your chances there, because when he
gets out of the pocket, his vision, his ability to improvise,
his ability to create is something that you can't defend
(21:30):
because the plague gets extended longer, and if longer the
plague gets extended or more heats, vision opens up and
he's got the accuracy and the ability to make all
types of different throws. So to me, making him stay
in the pocket, taking away Travis Kelsey, I start right
there and then live with whatever goes from that.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Yeah, but how do you keep him in the pocket.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
You know, it sounds good, but then the game happens
and then all of a sudden he's out out of
the pocket.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
You know, I think Lilian had a pretty good plan
against in the Cincinnati Mangles when they played against them
in the championship game. And you have to mix things
up against someone like Patrick Mahomes. You can't go in
there and show them the same thing in the first
quarter in the fourth court that you're show them in
the first quarter. So to me, it's about mixing up
the looks. It's about bringing three man pressures, about bringing
five man pressures, but again making sure that I've got
(22:21):
containment on both those edges so that you know he's
gonna try to step up as well. But I would
run him more in the pocket executing a passing game
than when he gets outside the pocket.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Would you rather face, Well, who would you rather not face?
Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers or Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Oh that's a great choice. I brought it up. Face
any of those three.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
I mean, but you got to pick one. You gotta go, Okay,
I Well, I.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Mean, I think I think the one thing that you
look at with Patrick is the improvisation. I mean, those
are things it's hard to prepare for. Like you just
talked about, how would you stop keep them in a pocket?
Easier set than done, because they do a great job
with that, with all the different things that they do
with Andy Rea's offense, just spread you out, So they
try to spread out the coverage and open up some
(23:09):
of the ways because you can't fix you can't fill
every wane. When you start having the things spread out, Certainly,
Tom Brady's going to pick you apart by reading you.
Aaron Rodgers can make all the throws, still has the mobility.
So there's they all have three elements to them. But
they're all just special players. And so but I say,
right now, just because the athleticism that Patrick Mahomes presents,
(23:30):
he'd be the least. He'd be the one person that
would fear me the most.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
How do you sum up the Dallas Cowboys situation here
with the coach and his last year quarterback and his
last year star receiver is holding out Michael Parsons looking
for a new deal a little early. So how do
you handicap what to expect out of the Cowboys.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
There's a sense of urgency, for sure. I think everybody's
playing for contracts, some people are playing for jobs. A
unique situation down there, because like you said, you know
it's probably hard for you know, you look at Dak Dak,
I mean, why is he going to sign an extension?
You don't even know who the coach is going to
be next year because the coach is in the last
year of his contracts. So you know, there's there's a
(24:14):
little bit of flux down there, turmoil if you want
to use theatrics. But isn't that always kind of the
Dallas Cowboys. They may they kind of thrive in that
kind of atmosphere. So it's one of those things that
right now, a lot's going to happen over the next
couple of weeks. Uh. You know, I think City Land
will get in there. I think Mike is going to
be their Week one and I think what you'll have
is a quarterback and the head coach that are kind
(24:35):
of playing for their both both their careers, and I
you know, in a weird way, probably not the worst
thing in the world, but you know, the one thing
that happens with situations like that is you get into adversity.
Do you come together or do splinter apart? And that's
the thing that happens. You know, if he comes out early,
the season starts out, you know a little question more
early in the season, how do they handle adversity?
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Did you ever get involved in a salary dispute?
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Uh? With the you know what when the players had it?
You know, all I try to do is I know,
I never negotiated on behalf of anybody. You know, I always,
if I did anything, I understood where the player was
at and you know, understood what they're looking for. And
at times, you know, you know that this is where
we are with where you know, how we approach things philosophically,
(25:22):
and sometimes that's not going to mess with what you want.
And I always tried to say, like, put a price
of enjoying where you go to work, put a monetary
value on that. And if that doesn't meet what if
you can't meet that, bridget together with that, then play
it out and I wish you nothing but the best.
So I mean, I think again, as a coach, you
want to try to seize every year because every year
(25:44):
is different, and sometimes if it's the last year of
a contract or a player, I want to make sure
that I'm doing that. I'm not looking to develop my
team for next year. I'm looking to take advantage of
this year and get the most I can because that's
that's only being fair to the players who are going
on year to year basis. The veterans are a year
So I'm not trying to develop a younger team. Okay,
well we'll be good two or three years. No, every
(26:04):
year to me is an opportunity to make the playoffs
and establish a winning atmosphere within your culture, within your
your building.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
What's the coolest thing in your office.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
The coolest thing in my office was actually the very
first signing bonus I got. I actually got to check.
But signing bonus was I was a rookie. I was.
I was a free agent with the Cleveland Browns as
I got cut the year before, and so I signed
for one thousand dollars signing bows and I still have
the check when they took out the taxes for six
hundred and eighty two dollars. So every time people come
(26:38):
in and just talked about guaranteed money and what they had,
so I used to walk over to my desk and
just say, listen, I got to show you this, this
signing bonus of mine, because it's it just tells you
that you're here because you love the game. Those things
will take care of themselves. But this is what I
played for because I was a backup player in my
you know, so I love the game. So I kept
that check there. At times when just put things in
(27:00):
this proper perspective.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
When's the last time you had a real itch to coach.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
You know what, Dan, I know what it entails. I
love talking to coaches even today and talking about things
that I see from the outside. I know on the inside,
it's not everything you see on the outside. There's a
lot of other things that take place. But you know,
clock management, I see that at times, you know, being
able to play to your strengths and not to try
(27:27):
to develop something that you're not understand who your identity
is as a football team. And I kind of like
what I see. I mean, I love the fact that
we've got in this passing link. This past year, we
had eight new head coaches. Five of them were defensive coordinators.
So now all of a sudden, the defense has becoming
a little bit of that. Why because all of a sudden,
you saw the Kansas City Chiefs reached a basement of
(27:49):
where they were a year ago on Christmas Day, frustration
on the sidelines. What got them back into the playoff
hunt was all sudden. This guy named Isaiah Picicecko gave
a degree of toughness on offense. Fans became stifling, and
they went into the playoffs as underdogs and kind of
used that chip on their shoulder. No one believes in us,
you know, they don't. They don't respect us. So you know,
(28:10):
it still goes a long way having balance on your team.
Even as great as Patrick mahonomes is. It was the
running game with Isaiah, but Checko was a defense that
led also to that championship. Special player, no question. And
then you see five of the eight defensive coordinators and
the sixth to one was Jim Harball. We know what
Jim Harbor is going to do. He's going to run
the football. You know. He brings in Greg Roman from Baltimore,
(28:32):
a couple of bats from Baltimore, and take Justin Herbert
and say, okay, I know you're a great quarterback, but
we're going to give you a balance running attack as well.
So the NFL is cyclical. I really believe that we
go through periods and trends of wanting to throw the
ball and be this really open team, but really to
have sustained success, it goes back to the same thing. Yes,
a great quarterback is your lawyer's looking for that, but
(28:53):
you better have a balanced football team that can throw it,
that can run it, that can play defense, that have
a good kicking game.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Avoided the question, there, coach, when's the last time we
had a true itch to come back where somebody reached
down to you to coach.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Oh, I've spent years. I may I spent a few years.
I mean, I just don't have the inchest to make
that kind of demand, the time demand, because I know
what it is. I mean it's a you know, I
love coaching on Sundays, but I also love the off season, Dan,
I mean, I love when the season's over to be
able to travel. I don't get involved with pre agency.
I watched the draft. I don't study the draft. I
see the OTAs I see training camp and I get that, Okay,
(29:31):
this is awesome, but get to talk to the coaches
on Monday. But I've said this before. I'm going to
my eighteenth year at CBS. I said, I coach every
team every Sunday, and I haven't lost a game in
eighteen years, so I feel really good the rest of
the week. So I have not gone that ditch in
a few years.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Well, sometimes you need to have your wife remind you.
You know that's it's like no, no, no, no, no no,
remember we're not doing this.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
I know, I know, I know, No bill, we're not
doing this right.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Well, my wife, who's musician, she was never like I
met her after I got out of it, and she's
always been saying, if you want to do it, you
can do it. And I would say, but that I
would not be spending the same time that we're having
this conversation. I would not be with you right now.
So you know, there's always been great places on the beach,
you know, in the city and a restaurant. We wouldn't
be here right now. So I would be in that
(30:21):
building trying to change a culture, committed to making sure
that we win, and trying to build a championship team.
So I said, but and that's that's the commitment that
coaches have to make. That's the commitment that wives have
to make, which is very very much a sacrificial situation,
a position that you have. You're the mother of the father,
you run the household. You're trying to keep things stable,
(30:41):
you know, keep people from from the media overreacting to
every loss, overreacting to wins. So it's it's a lifestyle.
You're living in a bubble. And I loved it for
the period of time I did it, but no interest
in going back.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
But when you're taking out the garbage, you know, just
you know, does it kind of hit you like I'm
taking out the garbage like I should be prepping for
you know, opening week and.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Know and I am right now I'm talking to you.
We got two weeks and we get to talk about
all these teams and I think everything that's doing. So
I have the platform, which is why I really do
love what I do on Sundays to be able to
talk about it from a strategical standpoint, from a just
a tactical standpoint, from just an organizational cultural standpoint of
trying to build something that's sustainable over a long period
(31:27):
of time. And again, you know, I try it. I
have contacts throughout the league with people and talk with
them about what I see. And again, I know that
there's a lot more behind the closed doors than with
what you see from the outside looking in. But I
just love talking about it. I love the game.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
I'll bet you take out the garbage intensely.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Oh, I you know what I do. I do like
doing dishes too, like like at night, so I don't
mind cleaning up at night. I do take the garbage
and make sure if it gets done. I walk it
down and take it out to the recyclable train and
the garbage you can, So you got the two different
elements to it. So yeah, I don't I don't mind
doing the little things around the house. I really don't.
Speaker 2 (32:08):

It's the horn of the Jackets at Georgia Tech locks

loan love it.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
That's courtesy WCNN six 't eighty the fan. Georgia Tech
has five wins against ranked opponents since twenty twenty two.
That's the most by an unranked team against ranked opponents
of any team in college football. That's your play of

Way Tire Buying should be. By the way Paul did
call it. He said Georgia Tech outright against Florida State.
(33:58):
DraftKings is all already updated their odds to win the ACC.
It's not Florida State anymore. Florida State was the favorite
prior to Week zero. Now it's Clemson, Miami, NC State,
and then Florida State. I was watching College game Day,
no matter what Kirkkurbstreet was talking about, no matter what
(34:21):
team he was talking about. The Florida State fans who
showed up pregame booed Kirk Kurbstreet, and I don't know
exactly what Herbie said or didn't say in support of
Florida State or Alabet. I mean Nick Saban, by the way, Savan,
Now that's a debut. You want to have an analyst
who shows up ready to go, prepared, not waiting for
(34:44):
you to spoon feed them. Whoo, Nick Saban, that's a
great debut. He was carrying that program for a while.
But Saban even said, look, I got all the one
thousand phone calls, you know, blaming me for Florida State
not being in. Well, now you have the twelve team playoff.
That shouldn't be an issue for any team now moving forward.
(35:06):
But Herbie, Florida State fans were coming after him everything.
It didn't matter if he was talking about Montana State,
they were booing him. But in Ireland, okay, so college
football season opens in Ireland, Major League Baseball opened in Korea.
You got the NFL, the second game in the NFL,
(35:27):
a Friday night game in Brazil. It's all about global
expansion here. You're trying to get into markets that you
can tap into a new financial resource. That's what's going
on here. The NFL, of course, has been doing this.
Rich Eisen said on the pat McAfee show that he
thinks the entire international package for TV will be up
(35:49):
for grabs, that somebody could maybe get that eventually. I mean, look,
the NFL is about making money, plain and simple. How
do we make more money? How about all of these
international games? And then if you go to an eighteen
game schedule, from what I'm told, you're going to have
even more of these international games, and maybe they sell
that by itself. That's a standalone yeah, seton.
Speaker 5 (36:12):
You can't expand college football globally though.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
No, but I think you can do it in a
way that more people might watch because it was in
Dublin definitely, or if you have a game in Germany
you might watch. So I don't know, like the NFL
is expanding into those other countries because those countries now,
I think Germany is the home of the Kansas City Chiefs.
(36:36):
They want to have these markets, they want to have
these countries that are absorbing the NFL. I mean, you
have London, and I don't know if we'll ever get
a team in London. In fact, I don't think we'll
get a team in London. I think now it's about
let's bounce around to these different places. And you'll have
a home away from home game for you know, you
(36:57):
got Eagles and the Packers in Brazil. You don't know
if Brazil was going to lay claim to one of
these teams. But then you can always go back and
the revenue that's generated, that's what it's all about. I
don't know if baseball you know. The fact that you
had Otani on display in Korea, I understood it.
Speaker 4 (37:15):
Look I.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
I've kind of been kicking and screaming against baseball being exported,
but this was Otani take advantage of it, Okay, I
just I don't know.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
It's opening day and opening day of baseball.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
Being from Cincinnati, Cincinnati used to have the first game
and it was a big deal, not as much as
it used to be. And the NFL exporting games, I
don't know. As a fan, do you really care if
it's in Brazil or Germany? Probably not, as long as
you get to see it. Now London, it's early in
the morning and the game usually is not very good,
(37:53):
and now you're going to be streaming that at nine
in the morning and you're like, uh, I don't know,
maybe I'll just wait for the highlight. But this is
what sports has become yeah, And I don't know if
there was any real outcry of why are they playing
that game in Dublin? Having been there last year, the
atmosphere was wonderful, stadium was great, and you know, you
(38:14):
had a lot of people traveled for that.
Speaker 4 (38:17):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
It doesn't happen very often. I think it's gonna happen
a little bit more. All right, Best and Worst of
the Weekend Buddha leading a song, Buddha, good morning, Best
and Worst.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
What a DP.
Speaker 6 (38:30):
Every day's a super Bowl boys, Dan, I'm still giggling
over Frank kaledenen Doo's Morgan Freeman impersonation Friday. What a
talent and joy he is. I I digress. DP absence
makes the heart grow fonder. Welcome back to Milford's Best
of the Weekend show. Hey Otani with a walk off,
(38:53):
not a buck off. Fritzy is the fastest player in
Major League history in those heaven white unis and to
join the forty to forty club as a sixth member
in his one hundred and twenty sixth game in the season.
Pretty epic.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
Wait minute, Buddha, Buddha, Buddha, hold on, this is how
it sounded Otani with his fortieth home run of the season.
Here we go, Posha, too, old Tony high fly ball

All right, Buddha, what else?
Speaker 8 (39:49):
Dan?
Speaker 4 (39:50):
You are so right?
Speaker 6 (39:51):
It just sounds different. Worst of the weekend Colorado fans
Denver Post reporter from asking coach primetime ball questions. What
sounds like a bunch of bull junk to me? Dan,
I don't know. The kool aid up in Colorado seems
to be becoming.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
Man not good.
Speaker 4 (40:12):
Thank you, Buddha.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
Yeah, I'm trying to follow along what Dion is doing
with this columnist with the Denver Post. Now, if they're
personal attacks, then I understand where you're going to say. Look,
I'm you know, you're a public university. I don't think
you can ban him from being there. But I've been
at press conferences where a coach didn't call on me,
didn't you know, because of something I had said? And
(40:37):
so I it does happen, but this is this has
become personal. From Dion's side, I don't know if it's personal.
From the Denver Post columnists side.
Speaker 3 (40:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (40:46):
Pauli the Post columnist and named Sean Keeler. He was,
according to the article, was banned indefinitely from asking questions
at football events. It doesn't say whether they could attend
or not, but asking questions. The school site had quote
a series of sustained personal test against a football program
and specifically coach Prime.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
Hey, a little bit more on this coming up. Get
to your phone calls as we always do every Monday,
best and worst of the weekend. What you liked, you
didn't like. We'll have a new poll question coming up.
