Speaker 2 (01:00):
Good morning.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
If you're watching on Peacock, our streaming partner Football Tonight.
It's the Vikings and the Rams. It's one of those
weird games.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Now.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
I know they've relocated this game to Arizona because of
the fires in Los Angeles. The Vikings are favored by
two and a half, it just doesn't feel like they're
really favored by two and a half. Feels like no
one's going to be surprised if the Rams win this game.
The Vikings are a really good team, and I think
this almost feels like the line is was predicated on
(01:30):
how the Vikings played against the Lions, where they got
roughed up, and then people go, Okay, that's the Sam
Darnold we thought was going to emerge.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
What's one game?
Speaker 3 (01:41):
And I think that's surprising that it is two and
a half Now it's on a neutral site in Arizona.
But we'll talk about that with Ross Tucker and Tony
Dungee coming up. Still have some openings, the Bears, the Jags,
the Jets, the Raiders, the Saints, the Patriots. In one
of the worst kept secrets, hired Mike Rabel. Did they
do everything they were supposed to do according to the
(02:02):
letter of the NFL law. We'll talk to Tony Dungee
about that, and that'll be coming up a little bit later.
On the Bills roughed up the Broncos. It's one of
those the Broncos scored and I go, all right, maybe
we'll have no, we're not going to Then all of
a sudden, it was all Bills all the time.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
The Eagles. I thought the Eagles were like.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
A three touchdown like at least three touchdowns better than
the Packers the way they played it, just they couldn't
put them away. And the Commanders last night with Jaden Daniels,
I can't call him a rookie anymore. I don't know
if I could call him a rookie the way he
played this year. He's the first rookie since at least
nineteen fifty to lead his team in both passing yards
(02:46):
and rushing yards in a playoff win. Like he's starting
to create a category onto himself. Also, five go ahead
touchdown passes in the fourth quarter overtime this season. The
last time you had a quarterback who put up those
kind of numbers Russell Wilson Junior the third in twenty twelve.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Whoooow stall of a day stanlea day stall of a
day Stantata Day.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
This is the Stele of.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
The Day, brought to you by Panadia America, the official
trading cards of the program. We'll get phone calls best
and worst of the weekend. Operator Tyler is sitting by.
I don't know if there was a surprise this weekend.
Maybe maybe how badly the Bills roughed up the Broncos
in the second half. The Commanders we talked about that
(03:39):
we weren't going to be surprised if they won. I
wasn't going to be surprised if the Packers beat the Eagles.
The Texans over the Chargers. Chargers didn't score touchdowns, couple
of field goals, and I kept thinking, when you're on
the road, you can't kick field goals and win. You
gotta score touchdown. You really have to make that team
start to rethink what their approach is going to be.
(04:02):
And they weren't able to do that with the Texans
as they rough up the Chargers and Justin Herbert deservedly
so deserves a lot of blame.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
That was a mess.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
And the Ravens handled the Steelers twenty eight to fourteen.
They never really put them away, but it did feel
like the Ravens were a better team. I'm just not
sure if there was a huge surprise where you go, wow,
I didn't expect that. Now maybe the Commanders. And this
is how the game ended with the Commanders last night
from thirty.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Seven to send Washington to.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
The final eight, Welsington.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
Around.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Believe them, Mike Jerico with the call, they dink their
way to the next round. You know, even going back,
it was such a long You had the Texas Ohio
State game on Friday night that was a lot closer
than the scorer would indicate the final score because they're
going in to tie that game. Jack Sawyer makes an
(05:10):
unbelievable play on his former roommate Quinn Hewers, and Ohio
State moves on.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
In Ohio State.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I think the first line I saw was they were
favored by nine and a half against Notre Dame. Some
of the other point spreads for the divisional rounds, you
got the Texans getting eight and a half against the Chiefs,
Commanders getting eight and a half against the Lions, and
the Ravens are getting one and a half against the
Buffalo Bills. Un thank you, Polly, thank you, Pony. All Right,
(05:44):
we'll get to poll questions coming up. Our one poll question, Yes, Paul.
Speaker 7 (05:48):
I gotta tell you, I was pretty surprised that the
Chargers no showed after the first quarter. When that first
quarter was over, I was like, the Chargers are going
to steal this one. They're rolling, They're not great, but
field goals and the Texans I think had four punts
in a turnover. I if you stopped that game at
the end of the first quarter, I would have put
money on the Chargers.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
That's the surprise thing.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
I thought they had a game plan, but they didn't
score touchdowns, and I thought maybe the Texans got a
good defense.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
So I thought if CJ.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Stroud and Joe Mixon was wonderful, that if they got
a couple of touchdowns. Now I put the pressure on
Jim Harbaugh and Justin Herbert, and you saw exactly what
happened when pressure was applied. That that was like a tourniquet.
That was bad and Justin Herbert's got to wear this.
You know, we had the collapse against Jacksonville a couple
of years ago, but they were up twenty seven and
(06:43):
then this one as well.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Look there quarterbacks.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Sometimes it metastasizes when it comes to the postseason, we've
seen quarterbacks. It just certainly in the Super Bowl, somebody
will have a bad game and then it becomes a
terrible game, or somebody's having a good game, it becomes
a great game. These bigger games, sometimes that happens. It's
just justin Herbert couldn't get out of his own way.
(07:06):
There was one interception that wasn't his fault. It was
his tight end's fault there. But still we put pressure
on these quarterbacks. We give them too much credit, too
much blame. And now you have the MVP Bowl coming
up here. You got Josh Allen and you got Lamar Jackson.
I was told Sours said Lamar Jackson's winning the MVP.
(07:27):
And I said, why do you say that? And he said, well,
I always look at the all Pro votes, not Pro Bowl,
but all Pro votes, and Lamar Jackson there was quite
a bit of separation between him and Josh Allen, but
they both played great. Lamar is wonderful, But you start
(07:47):
to look at these running backs. Saquon Barkley, he was great,
although I think their betters might not be too pleased
with Saquon Barkley could have scored the touchdown and then
he slides because I think they were going for that
was a anytime touch He was the most bet anytime
touchdown guy this weekend, so.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
You're going he's going to score.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
And then he slid because if they got a first down,
then the game was over. He said, no game was over.
I just I slid. All these betters are going, I'm
going to cap, I'm going to cash in on this
not the case, but lamar Derrick Henry and we could
argue what was a bigger offseason move getting Derrick Henry
(08:31):
or getting Saquon Barkley, and it might be a push.
I just want to see what happens in the postseason
because regular season unbelievable numbers. It's when you must get
those yards? Can you get those yards? And those two
guys are going to be just as instrumental as their quarterbacks,
if not more so. And I think that's something that
(08:53):
you know, we haven't really been factoring it in. Also
defensive minded coaches, because we get caught up in O'Connell,
Sean McVay, Kyle Shanahan offensive minded coaches. If you look
at what defensive coaches have done, you know, d you
started with Dan Campbell, you got Demiko Ryans, you got
Dan Quinn, you got Sean McDermott. These are defensive minded coaches,
(09:16):
and I think you got to remember that with the postseason,
they're running the football and defense is stressed in a
different way than it has been before. Now you still
want to play great defense, the question is can you?
And we've seen that so far. All right, seton setan pole.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Question today?
Speaker 8 (09:37):
Which quarterback had the worst weekend? Justin Herbert, Jordan Love,
Baker Mayfield.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Okay, Baker Mayfield had a big fumble with eleven minutes
to go. He only threw eighteen times. I think it
was fifteen of eighteen, but that was a huge, huge play.
Jordan Love three interceptions. But I think that those two
teams still had chances to win. Justin Herbert Chargers didn't
(10:07):
have a chance. And this is another thing to factor in.
And we said this at the beginning of the year.
Gone are the days where Justin Herbert's going to throw
for five thousand yards and thirty nine touchdowns. That's not
Jim Harball's game plan. Harball wants to have a big
offensive line, run the football, play good defense. Just like
that happened at Michigan Justin Herbert, and we said this
(10:31):
will statistically be one of his worst seasons because of that,
they're not going to be leading with the pass. He
had four interceptions, three interceptions the entire year regular season
and then four yesterday. So he did have an incredible
season taking care of the football, and this was a
(10:53):
big reason why the Chargers are in the postseason. They
did not have turnovers, they played great defense, and then
all of a sudd uddon Justin Herbert with four interceptions.
So I would say that he had by far and
away the worst game perception wise. I don't think people
are going to look at Jordan Love and go look
at what he did against Dallas last year, and I
(11:13):
think he can still live off that. I think Baker
had a really really good season. That's back to back
really good seasons going to the playoffs. And you know,
Mike Evans had a wonderful season. They were a good team.
We wouldn't have been surprised if they won, but we
weren't going to be surprised if the Commanders won.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
But I would say it's.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Justin Herbert, then Jordan Love, and then Baker Mayfield Mayfield
had the fumble, but they could have won that game.
Any other pole questions that you're thinking about, Seaton for
the first hour.
Speaker 8 (11:47):
You want to preview of our two's pole question, I
can give you that.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (11:52):
Okay, losing NFL team from this weekend, that should feel
the goodest about their future.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
But you should still feel good the goodest. Yeah, Okay,
I think that's grammatically correct. Is that right, Ton?
Speaker 2 (12:08):
The goodest?
Speaker 9 (12:09):
It would be goodest? That is exactly right.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Okay, got any Bronco gear on today?
Speaker 9 (12:14):
I do not.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
I'm wearing somber gray black t they lost.
Speaker 9 (12:20):
Still waiting to get a possession. Maybe we can get
a chance to.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Have the ball.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
I you know what, when they scored the touchdown to start,
I'm like, all right, that little guy is sitting there
with all his Bronco gears, got his bobbleheads and the
penants and hats and everything. Your your Bronco color Adidas.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
I was remarkably.
Speaker 9 (12:41):
Reserved, knowing that they were trying to pull me in.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
They're gonna trick where they're gonna come out and some
BIG's gonna happen here.
Speaker 9 (12:46):
But I didn't buy into it. I didn't. I was
excited to see that, but I didn't buy it.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Isn't the weird Do you think the Broncos uniform had anything.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
To do with their subpar play? Yes, without questions, Okay,
thank you.
Speaker 7 (12:59):
Marvin looks so good against the Chiefs on the looks
wise and on the field.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Well, when Seton set out a text, a group text,
and he goes, the Broncos uniforms are but.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Butt Yeah it was but ugly. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (13:18):
No one has ever won anything major wearing orange pants.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (13:24):
Tennessee fans are like, yeah, well you should see what
it's ugly.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Okay, I'm sorry.
Speaker 7 (13:29):
Sean's right though. The buttet's ears when they won, their
pants were pewter. They were not orange.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
They were not orange.
Speaker 8 (13:34):
No one has ever won anything great in orange pewter.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Yeah. Well you had a good season, Todd.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
We did.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
I was hoping it would be a little more competitive
in the second half. Once that field goal point that
would have tied to ten, I started feeling a little
bit of that momentum.
Speaker 9 (13:48):
That they could have had that they lost.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Going into the book, I agree. When that happened, I
was like.
Speaker 7 (13:54):
Oh uh oh, yeah, isn't the weirdest thing this year?
That the Buffalo Bills have become a run first team.
Forty four carries two hundred and ten yards, and two
years ago that was the story. Oh they got a
bunch of decent running backs, they can never establish the run.
They leave Josh Allen hung out to dry. It's very
weird how much that's changed.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Yeah, but we're seeing teams run the football now. It's
just that's part of the game plan. Where it used
to be can you run the football? It's you, we
will run the football. And you saw that yet you
saw that all weekend long.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
But you're right.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
I think they look at Josh Allen is just he's
another running back there playing quarterback and that ability to
control the line of scrimmage. Cook is when was Cook drafted?
Like was he a third or fourth round draft pick?
But you know they got a couple of running backs
they run hard.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (14:47):
Yeah, Pauling he was the final pick of the second
round in twenty twenty two. He makes one point two
million dollars a season. Yeah, we've talked about this before.
You wanted to do an MVP based off salary, he
would be in there this year.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Yeah, but I think that should factor in.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
I've said this before when a Rod won MVP in
baseball and Big Poppy I thought was more of an
MVP if I factored in he made five million and
a Rod made I think twenty five million. I got
to factor that into value. But they don't. All right,
we'll take a break. We'll come back with Ross Tucker.

Speaker 3 (16:46):
We'll get to phone calls coming up, as we always

Speaker 2 (16:51):
What you saw that you liked you didn't like.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
He's Ross Tucker, CBS Sports Westwood One, NFL college football
analyst and hope to the Ross Tunker Football podcast Busy Man.
He was on the call last night with the Packers
and the Eagles. Also on the sidelines for the Steelers
and the Ravens, and he'll be in the booth with
Kevin Harland for the Texans Chiefs on Saturday in the
(17:15):
divisional playoff. And get ready to hear this voice very
often over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Ross Dallas Goddard is a beast.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
The Philadelphia Eagles cannot be stopped.
Speaker 9 (17:28):
Look at what he did to Valentine. That's an embarrassment.
Ross Tucker.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Hi, Ron, Hey, Dan, you know what I want.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
I think you at some point this week, maybe Friday,
you could do a play by play, like do a
couple plays with Fritzy doing his Kevin Harlan and Paulie
doing his terrible impression of me. However, Pauly, that like
that would be I guarantee I will cut the clip I'll.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Put on social media.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
If you guys do a couple play, do a series
of it seeing Paulie as Kevin Harlan and me, that'd
be amazing.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
All right, Well, Fritzy, why don't you give us a
little bit of the Chiefs against the Texans and then
Paulie will jump in and be the analyst on the call.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Patrick mahomes back to passing avoids the ruts. He's going
down the sideline and that's another twelve yards for Patrick
and another first down for Kansas City.
Speaker 7 (18:25):
I love behoves, behooves can get the ball in the
pocket like anybody at Kansas City.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
The other thing about Kansas City sauce on ribs. Look
it up, Google it, legit.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
There you go, Ross, you asked for it, you got
all right.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Where do you want to start here? Do you want
to start with the Eagles against the Packers or you
want to go back to the Steelers' loss?
Speaker 1 (18:51):
I actually want to talk about the Steelers.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
I want to start there because you know, Dan, I
live in central Pennsylvania, right, so where I live now,
it's like fifty to fifty Eagles fans Steelers. I grew
up closer to Philly and grew up as an Eagles fan.
I can't remember watching a Pittsburgh Steelers team get beat
(19:14):
up physically that badly. You know, everybody focuses, I feel
like on the quarterback situation, and in fairness, they're in
a tough spot there, like what's your solution or anybody's
solution for the Steelers to get a quarterback that can
compete with Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, like,
it's hard that they're in a tough spot there, but
(19:35):
that's that's a separate issue their defense.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Dan, this is the Pittsburgh Steelers. I mean, you have
Cam Hayward, TJ.
Speaker 6 (19:45):
Watt, You're paying Patrick Queen, you're paying Mink and Fitzpatrick.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
They have a lot Alex Heismith getting paid.
Speaker 6 (19:51):
They have a lot of resources invested.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
In that unit.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
And for the Ravens to have two hundred and fifty
yards rushing with six minutes left in the third quarter.
And by the way, the Ravens have had one Pro
Bowl receiver in franchise history. He's eight Flowers.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
He was out for the game.
Speaker 6 (20:11):
He was not playing in the game. So they don't
have by far their best receiver. And you allow the
Ravens to run you over like that. It had to
be embarrassing for a Steelers fan to watch. I thought
that was one of the most notable. Like, if you
told me best and worst of the weekend, I would
(20:32):
say worst of the weekend was watching the Pittsburgh Steelers
get run over, around and through by Derrick Henry and
the Ravens.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Well, let's look at what happens in the offseason with
the Steelers, you have Russell Wilson. I don't think Mike
Tomlin's going anywhere, So what changes do you see with them?
Speaker 1 (20:55):
I agree about Tomlin.
Speaker 6 (20:57):
He's a good coach, I will say, and we probably
talked about this last week. There's a gigantic disconnect between
how people feel about him nationally and how the locals
feel about him because he hasn't won a playoff game
in fever. But I would also submit to you and
how many of those playoff games did he have the
better quarterback?
Speaker 1 (21:17):
How many of those playoff games? The problem is, you know,
everybody wants them to get somebody better.
Speaker 6 (21:22):
How are you going to do that? You know, we
have to live in the real world. They're not going
to draft somebody. They're not gonna draft high enough. So
who could the Steelers get that's better. Do they take
a swing in Aaron Rodgers? Do they go way out
of character and try to pay a lot of money
for Sam Darnold? I mean, these other guys, they're just
(21:44):
not available. To get a top ten guy, it just
doesn't happen.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
I actually thought.
Speaker 6 (21:48):
Russell Wilson Junior the third played pre darn Well in
the second half of that game and gave them a
chance to win. If I'm the Steelers, maybe I have
somebody else can be with him, but he's probably your
best option to win a bunch of games next year
and have a chance to win a playoff game.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
But we make it seem like Mike Tomlin's not involved
in decisions to get these quarterbacks. Is it just, Hey,
the front office takes care of this, and we're going
to get you a quarterback and you'll just make him better.
I imagine he's involved, given his tenure with his Steelers. He's
involved in who they're bringing in. So there is culpability
(22:29):
throughout the Steelers, including Mike Tomlin with them.
Speaker 6 (22:33):
No question, he's definitely involved because I know he's a
big Russell Wilson fan. I actually thought bringing in both
Justin Fields and Russell Wilson this offseason was really smart
to kind of give you two bites at the Apple.
They exceeded expectations. I think their season win total was
eight and a half, so they exceeded expectations.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Obviously they faltered down the stretch.
Speaker 6 (22:57):
There's no question Dan that he's part of taking the quarterback,
no doubt about it. But how nobody everybody complained about
the Steelers quarterback situation doesn't have a solution. So you
want them to try to lose every game for next
year and then have the number one pick and take
the quarterback next year. Like they can't trade for somebody
(23:20):
that's better than what they have. Those guys aren't getting traded.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
Maybe they'll be Derek Carr, you know, maybe it's Aaron
rd I don't know what.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
They're not gonna get a top ten guy.
Speaker 6 (23:30):
They're gonna have to do whatever they can to get
the best guy available.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
You've got the addition of Derrick Henry with Lamar Jackson,
and I always felt like it seemed like the Ravens
got one dimensional in the playoffs, maybe you start to
panic a little bit. They don't have to be one dimensional.
They can be two dimensional running and then add another
dimension with the passing of Lamar Jackson and hopefully you
(23:56):
get Zay Flowers back. But what makes this raven team different?
Speaker 6 (24:02):
I love that point, Dan Love love love that point
because it's funny. I did the Ravens Browns game earlier
in the year and we were talking with Jim Harbaugh
or Jim Harbo, John Harbaugh about Derrick Henry, and he
has a nice way of just kind of telling you
like it is. He said, you know what we were
(24:23):
talking about, and I said, we're a running team. What
it would be like if we had a really good runner,
you know, because the Ravens have been a running team
of Lamar Jackson, but they've never really had like.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
A really good running back.
Speaker 12 (24:37):
You know.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
JK.
Speaker 6 (24:37):
Dobbins was pretty good, but he kept getting hurt. And
they've had like Gus Eard, They've had guys and they've
had a lot of success running it because of the
scheme and because of Lamar. But this is like the
grand experiment that's working fabulously is to actually have a really,
really good running back like Derrick Henry, which makes them
(24:58):
so difficult to defend the And by the way, I
don't think it's a great matchup for the Bills. I mean,
I love the Bills. That was my favorite team I
played for out of the five. And it's good that
they have a home game. But that is going to
be tough because as much as you want to stop
the run, there's a lot of times because of Lamar
(25:18):
that you don't really have a very good solution, and
your solution to put everybody in there, Well, then you're
manning up the tight ends and they run play action
pass and both likely and Mark Andrews, you're putting your
linebackers or safety is in a tough spot. I mean,
there's a reason why Lamar had the ridiculous stats he
(25:39):
had is because there really aren't that many good answers
for a defense with having Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry
in the same backfield.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
And the Ravens are favored by one and a half
against the Bills. We're talking Ross Tucker, CBA Sports, Westwood
One and host of the Ross Tucker Football Podcast.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
How should we look at Justin Hurt.
Speaker 6 (26:03):
I think the same way we always have. I think
he's a very good quarterback. And I said this, you know,
I did that Patriots Chargers game for NFL Network.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
He's a very good quarterback.
Speaker 6 (26:13):
A lot of teams would love to have him, but
we're not gonna consider him an elite quarterback until we
feel like he elevates the guys around him to the
point where he's winning some playoff games, you know, I mean,
and that's that's just the reality of the situation. Look
a lot of people aren't gonna put Josh Allen and
(26:33):
Lamar Jackson in certain categories until they get to a
super Bowl and win it. We're not gonna put Herbert
even in their category until he finds a way to
be able to take this team to the next level.
In fairness to him, their old line got wrecked and
they have a bottom five receiving corps in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
So they exceeded expectations.
Speaker 6 (26:55):
They did not have the same personnel as the Texans
or even most these teams in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
They knew it, you know. Talking with the Chargers coaches,
I think they kind of knew it.
Speaker 6 (27:06):
That they were a year away from being a legitimate contender.
They're gonna get better on the interior zero line, They're
gonna get better at receiver, and Herbert's gonna have a
much better opportunity to actually win a couple of playoff
games next year and try to get He's like the
in the friend zone. He's in the good quarterback zone
(27:27):
right now. He needs to win some playoff games to
get into that next category.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Did the Eagles look good or great?
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Good?
Speaker 6 (27:37):
Yeah, they did not look great because they did not
look very good on offense, their defense was awesome, you know,
the force four turnovers. They've had the best defense in
the NFL since the bye week. They were fantastic for
the most part in that game. But offensively that was rough.
I mean that Jalen Hurts clearly was rusty. He did
(28:00):
not play well. I thought the Packers, that decordinator Jeff Hathley,
had a good plan between you know, forcing Hurts to
stay in the pocket and make throws from the pocket,
but then also bringing blitzes at times. I mean, the
reality is is for the Eagles to go to the
super Bowl, Hurt's gonna have to play better than that.
I mean, if he played like that in Detroit, they
(28:22):
wouldn't win. I don't even know if they would win
next week against the Rams with the Vikings. If he
plays like that, he's gonna have to play better than
he did. I think he will. I mean, he had
missed almost three full games. That was kind of his
first game back. I would expect him to have a
much better performance next week against the winner of tonight's game.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Yeah, I just look at Jalen Hurts and I probably
in the minority. I think he's just a good quarterback
on a really good team. And look, he had an
unbelievable super Bowl, could have been the MVP even in
a losing effort there.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
But I just I'm waiting to see more from him.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
And maybe that's not fair, you know, that's maybe who
he is for that team, but that's just the indication.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
I always get with him well.
Speaker 6 (29:08):
And Dan, there's no question, I mean, he has not
been a top ten quarterback in the NFL. This year,
He's got the best situation a quarterback maybe he has
ever had. I mean, they have the best offensive line
in the league. Okay, he is the best running back
in the league. The tight end Dallas Goddard is a beast.
(29:28):
He's a top five tight end. The receiver duo is
at least the top five duo. I mean, we're talking
about like Troy Atman with the Cowboys, and like, how
often are you in a situation where every guy around
you is top five in their spot.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
They should be able to put up a bunch of points.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
He should be able to play better than he did yesterday,
and they're gonna need him to for sure.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Let's look at the losing teams.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
We talked about the Steelers let's look ahead to who
you like better with the Broncos, Packers, and Buccaneers. Who's
set up for success better?
Speaker 1 (30:08):
I think it's the Packers. Yeah, I think it's the Packers.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
I mean they had this year the second youngest team
ever in the playoffs. The youngest team ever in the
playoffs was the Packers last year. I mean, they're all
home grown. They got really beat up in that game.
You know, to have no Christian Watson, then you lose
both Dobbs and Read during the game. They lose their
(30:35):
best offensive lineman, Elton Jenkins. They lose the turnover battle
for nothing, and they still were right there. I mean,
if the turnover battles three to one, do the Packers.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Win the game?
Speaker 6 (30:47):
If they don't, if they only lose one receiver and
not three receivers, do they win the game. I think
the Packers are positioned to have success next year.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
They just they kind of took a step back at
the end of the season.
Speaker 6 (31:01):
They got to figure out why that was the case
these last three games and being banged up as part
of it. But I would still be buying stock in
the Green Bay Packers. And I didn't think Jordan Love's
performance was anywhere near what Herbert was thought. I thought
Jordan Love played pretty well. I mean that the one
interception of Bond was bad, but the first one.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Was a great play by Slay.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
The last one he just had to try to make
a play and they probably should have called interference on Bond.
I really thought Jordan Love only had one bad interception.
He had some nice throws. Maybe could have made those
other touchdown throws down near the goal line in the
third quarter when they were still right in it. But
I still I would be bullish on Jordan Love and
(31:47):
the Packers moving forward.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
I have an assignment for you in this game coming up.
You have the Texans and the Chiefs. If this happens,
a receiver caused interception. So let's say go off the
hands like it did the tight end with the Chargers.
It's a receiver caused interception an RCI, and then you
could throw that in and Kevin Harlan would probably then
(32:12):
acknowledge that. How would Kevin Harlan acknowledge that, You've.
Speaker 5 (32:16):
Got to be kidding me. That is not acceptable. That
was pretty short. Yeah, So here's the deal.
Speaker 6 (32:28):
Now, everybody has to listen to my broadcast on Saturday.
If that happens, I'm getting RCI in the broadcast. I
am getting RCI in the broadcast. Here's the question. Do
I have to credit you Dan personally? Do you have
to credit the Dan Patrick Show? Or do I just
have to get RCI in the game.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
No, don't need to credit me at all. I want
this to be about you. I want you to hopefully
get credit for it. Where somebody goes, yeah he went
to Princeton. Yeah, that's why he came up with RCI.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Hey, you know what's fun about that? Dan, You're gonna
love this.
Speaker 6 (33:02):
Saturday night during the game, I'm on the sideline and
I called George Pickens mercurial because George Pickens is mercurial
and you can't say pain in me whatever on the.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Radio, right, So he's mercurial.
Speaker 6 (33:19):
And the play by play guy Ryan Rakey and Mike Golick,
the color analysts, they're making fun of me, and they're
saying I'm using big words, and they're saying, you know,
Princeton guy or whatever, which I didn't only look at
mercurial as being like a fancy word. Sunday mornings, I
drive back from Baltimore here to Pennsylvania, and I talked
(33:39):
to my daughters. I asked them first if they've ever
heard of mercurial. They have no idea what I'm talking about.
Then I asked my wife and she didn't know, so
that that's a fail. That's a fail as a radio
guy if you use a word. My wife's very smart.
She went to buck now Together NBA from Kellogg. If
(34:00):
she doesn't know what mercurial means, I should not be
saying that on the radio.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
That's a bad job by me.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
I think you just called your family dumb, is what
you said.
Speaker 6 (34:10):
Well, and fairness, my daughters are eleven and twelve, and
hopefully I'm now praying my wife does not see this clip.
It's a good thing there aren't five hundred stations around
the country listening right now.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
And of course everybody knows Mercurial Morris who ran for
the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
That was his real name. Mer Curial.
Speaker 9 (34:30):
What Todd the definitions of or having to do with mercury? No,
it's not, I'm joking.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
I don't that's what a lot of victories.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
We'll take the word and use that as the explanation
to the meaning or having to do with Mercury.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
Thank you to Ross's great to talk to you. Save travels.
Remember rc I RCI.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
I'm ready for it. Hopefully it happens.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
All right, Ross Tucker, CBS Sports, Westwood One, and the
Ross Tucker Football Podcast. He'll be on the call with
Kevin hart Land Texans Chiefs. That'll be Saturday, four thirty Eastern. Well,
come back, we got our play of the day. We'll

Speaker 9 (35:38):
Check this out.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
Step good, hold down, kick on its way.

Speaker 1 (35:52):
We'll see you.
Speaker 6 (35:53):
At Detroit the Talks.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Wow sound a w w e ish Commanders Radio Network.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
The Commanders move on. That's your play of the day.
Most cars on the road could use a little TLC.
At Maco, they bring your car back to life with
affordable team jobs and like collision repairs, get a free
estimate today. Oh better nked Maco dan Quinn after the
game talking about his rookie quarterback Jade and Daniels.
Speaker 12 (36:30):
Jaden certainly is a big factor in that. I think
if he had his heart rate monitor on in mind,
they would not be the same in the game. And
his days pretty consistently good. Sometimes I'm like the duck
if you just saw the feet going under the water,
it's good. But he really is into that space exceptional.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
Yep, he is.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
And if you look at where this franchise was two
years ago, you know, finally getting rid of the stench
of Dan Snyder bringing new ownership. You bring in Dan
Quinn and then all of a sudden you get your quarterback.
And when you were talking about, hey, which quarterback do
you take? All they're going to have to settle for
Jayden Daniels. There were people in the organization that were
(37:15):
they were getting that they were going to get Jade Daniels.
Caleb Williams bears you can have him, like we like
the consolation prize because We don't think it's a consolation prize.
It just it gave them hope. When you find your quarterback,
you have hope. When you don't have that quarterback, you
don't have hope. All right, eight seven seven three DP
(37:35):
show and we'll get to your phone calls coming up,
Gus in La Gus. I've been thinking about you and
glad to hear from you.
Speaker 13 (37:44):
Good morning, mister Patrick. You know, hope you and the
boys are doing well. Great to talk to you, guys.
You really hasn't been you know, I like, I mean
down on it intended, you know, whatever you want to
think it. But it's in a week from hell the
as An. You know, I lived four months from there.
(38:04):
You guys know where I live. But you know, those
the greatest week of uncertainday. It really hasn't And I
mean I'm not trying to be a downer, but you know,
it's like everything took it back to the sports and everything.
I mean, I was watching an ash snow on my
place on Saturday. Couldn't even enjoy the Steeler game. You know,
it's been it's been a rough week, you know. I mean,
(38:26):
I look forward to being able to call you guys
today to get back to a little bit of normalcy.
But apparently tomorrow they're bracing us again. Tomorrow is supposed
to be like a repeat win wise as far as
winds go. So everybody's here a little still on the edge,
but you know, we're trying to get back to reality
at some point. The young lady that you guys met
(38:47):
a few years ago, her place in the Palatinade, her
for her former place in the palatade that went up
in flames and everything, and so did a lot of
other people that I know of and everything, And you know,
it's been a rough week, but we're trying to get
back to it, and we're trying to get back to
reality one day at a time. And you know, the
best of the weekend for me at least, the brave
(39:09):
men and women of every fire department that came from
every corner, the LAPD, the National Guard. You know, it's
been rough, stresful on many levels. By at the end
of the day we kind of were like, hey, they
have our back. Everybody doing their own part here and
you know, life goes on a bit.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
Well, I'll be thinking of you, and thanks for calling.
We appreciate you having the opportunity and maybe some normalcy
there in your life. That's goes to l A. Yeah,
once again, the firefighters, the first responders, I mean all
of those people.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
They they put their.
Speaker 3 (39:45):
Heart and soul, they put their lives on the line,
and you know, all these disasters. It's not just Los Angeles,
it's when there's tornadoes. They they run when you're running
in and everybody's running out. I mean that we use
the word hero, but we use it too often and
probably not for the right people. Uh, Buddha in San Francisco,
(40:09):
Hi Buddha, good to have you back.
Speaker 14 (40:13):
What a f DP Happy Monday boys. Shout out to
my man Gus in La. Stay strong, brother, I.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Feel you, man.
Speaker 14 (40:22):
This weekend was pretty predictable, Dan, I mean as far
as the games went. I mean, even with the Patriots
hiring Mike Rabel, which was predictable. I mean, but real quick, sat,
Dan Vrabel had ten catches in his Patriots' career, not eleven, Fritzy,
what I did there? All ten were touchdowns. Let's go, Fritsy.
(40:44):
Worst of the weekend, Dan, I mean the Chargers. They
do this to us every year, Dam, I mean, Dan,
you've even fallen to it right. I mean, it's a
tradition unlike any other in sports. It's like they have
some chargery style upon them that I just find a
way to let fans and gamblers down.
Speaker 1 (41:03):
I mean, it's so disappointing.
Speaker 14 (41:05):
And best of the weekend, Oh Man, salute the Commanders,
Man Jade and Daniel, the scary Terry balling out winning
and what was only like the really great game of
the day, I mean, thank god, because most of them
were kind of boring in.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
Terms of competitiveness.
Speaker 14 (41:20):
Competitiveness, and I just I hope Washington Dan can like
take this momentum somehow and just change the franchise name
back to the Redskins, because the Commanders it's just not good.
Speaker 3 (41:35):
Good Yeah, moving back into downtown and maybe maybe they
try to bring back the old nickname.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
There's certainly been talk about that. Anybody going to complain.
Speaker 3 (41:47):
About the quality of games in the NFL and the
postseason the way everybody complained about the quality of college
bowl games. Probably not. Tony Dungee will join us coming up.
We'll give you our bet and worst to the weekend
and we will play Phil in the blank. All of
that coming up
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Good morning.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
If you're watching on Peacock, our streaming partner Football Tonight.
It's the Vikings and the Rams. It's one of those
weird games.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Now.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
I know they've relocated this game to Arizona because of
the fires in Los Angeles. The Vikings are favored by
two and a half, it just doesn't feel like they're
really favored by two and a half. Feels like no
one's going to be surprised if the Rams win this game.
The Vikings are a really good team, and I think
this almost feels like the line is was predicated on
(01:30):
how the Vikings played against the Lions, where they got
roughed up, and then people go, Okay, that's the Sam
Darnold we thought was going to emerge.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
What's one game?
Speaker 3 (01:41):
And I think that's surprising that it is two and
a half Now it's on a neutral site in Arizona.
But we'll talk about that with Ross Tucker and Tony
Dungee coming up. Still have some openings, the Bears, the Jags,
the Jets, the Raiders, the Saints, the Patriots. In one
of the worst kept secrets, hired Mike Rabel. Did they
do everything they were supposed to do according to the
(02:02):
letter of the NFL law. We'll talk to Tony Dungee
about that, and that'll be coming up a little bit later.
On the Bills roughed up the Broncos. It's one of
those the Broncos scored and I go, all right, maybe
we'll have no, we're not going to Then all of
a sudden, it was all Bills all the time.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
The Eagles. I thought the Eagles were like.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
A three touchdown like at least three touchdowns better than
the Packers the way they played it, just they couldn't
put them away. And the Commanders last night with Jaden Daniels,
I can't call him a rookie anymore. I don't know
if I could call him a rookie the way he
played this year. He's the first rookie since at least
nineteen fifty to lead his team in both passing yards
(02:46):
and rushing yards in a playoff win. Like he's starting
to create a category onto himself. Also, five go ahead
touchdown passes in the fourth quarter overtime this season. The
last time you had a quarterback who put up those
kind of numbers Russell Wilson Junior the third in twenty twelve.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Whoooow stall of a day stanlea day stall of a
day Stantata Day.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
This is the Stele of.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
The Day, brought to you by Panadia America, the official
trading cards of the program. We'll get phone calls best
and worst of the weekend. Operator Tyler is sitting by.
I don't know if there was a surprise this weekend.
Maybe maybe how badly the Bills roughed up the Broncos
in the second half. The Commanders we talked about that
(03:39):
we weren't going to be surprised if they won. I
wasn't going to be surprised if the Packers beat the Eagles.
The Texans over the Chargers. Chargers didn't score touchdowns, couple
of field goals, and I kept thinking, when you're on
the road, you can't kick field goals and win. You
gotta score touchdown. You really have to make that team
start to rethink what their approach is going to be.
(04:02):
And they weren't able to do that with the Texans
as they rough up the Chargers and Justin Herbert deservedly
so deserves a lot of blame.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
That was a mess.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
And the Ravens handled the Steelers twenty eight to fourteen.
They never really put them away, but it did feel
like the Ravens were a better team. I'm just not
sure if there was a huge surprise where you go, wow,
I didn't expect that. Now maybe the Commanders. And this
is how the game ended with the Commanders last night
from thirty.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Seven to send Washington to.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
The final eight, Welsington.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
Around.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Believe them, Mike Jerico with the call, they dink their
way to the next round. You know, even going back,
it was such a long You had the Texas Ohio
State game on Friday night that was a lot closer
than the scorer would indicate the final score because they're
going in to tie that game. Jack Sawyer makes an
(05:10):
unbelievable play on his former roommate Quinn Hewers, and Ohio
State moves on.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
In Ohio State.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I think the first line I saw was they were
favored by nine and a half against Notre Dame. Some
of the other point spreads for the divisional rounds, you
got the Texans getting eight and a half against the Chiefs,
Commanders getting eight and a half against the Lions, and
the Ravens are getting one and a half against the
Buffalo Bills. Un thank you, Polly, thank you, Pony. All Right,
(05:44):
we'll get to poll questions coming up. Our one poll question, Yes, Paul.
Speaker 7 (05:48):
I gotta tell you, I was pretty surprised that the
Chargers no showed after the first quarter. When that first
quarter was over, I was like, the Chargers are going
to steal this one. They're rolling, They're not great, but
field goals and the Texans I think had four punts
in a turnover. I if you stopped that game at
the end of the first quarter, I would have put
money on the Chargers.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
That's the surprise thing.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
I thought they had a game plan, but they didn't
score touchdowns, and I thought maybe the Texans got a
good defense.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
So I thought if CJ.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Stroud and Joe Mixon was wonderful, that if they got
a couple of touchdowns. Now I put the pressure on
Jim Harbaugh and Justin Herbert, and you saw exactly what
happened when pressure was applied. That that was like a tourniquet.
That was bad and Justin Herbert's got to wear this.
You know, we had the collapse against Jacksonville a couple
of years ago, but they were up twenty seven and
(06:43):
then this one as well.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Look there quarterbacks.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Sometimes it metastasizes when it comes to the postseason, we've
seen quarterbacks. It just certainly in the Super Bowl, somebody
will have a bad game and then it becomes a
terrible game, or somebody's having a good game, it becomes
a great game. These bigger games, sometimes that happens. It's
just justin Herbert couldn't get out of his own way.
(07:06):
There was one interception that wasn't his fault. It was
his tight end's fault there. But still we put pressure
on these quarterbacks. We give them too much credit, too
much blame. And now you have the MVP Bowl coming
up here. You got Josh Allen and you got Lamar Jackson.
I was told Sours said Lamar Jackson's winning the MVP.
(07:27):
And I said, why do you say that? And he said, well,
I always look at the all Pro votes, not Pro Bowl,
but all Pro votes, and Lamar Jackson there was quite
a bit of separation between him and Josh Allen, but
they both played great. Lamar is wonderful, But you start
(07:47):
to look at these running backs. Saquon Barkley, he was great,
although I think their betters might not be too pleased
with Saquon Barkley could have scored the touchdown and then
he slides because I think they were going for that
was a anytime touch He was the most bet anytime
touchdown guy this weekend, so.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
You're going he's going to score.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
And then he slid because if they got a first down,
then the game was over. He said, no game was over.
I just I slid. All these betters are going, I'm
going to cap, I'm going to cash in on this
not the case, but lamar Derrick Henry and we could
argue what was a bigger offseason move getting Derrick Henry
(08:31):
or getting Saquon Barkley, and it might be a push.
I just want to see what happens in the postseason
because regular season unbelievable numbers. It's when you must get
those yards? Can you get those yards? And those two
guys are going to be just as instrumental as their quarterbacks,
if not more so. And I think that's something that
(08:53):
you know, we haven't really been factoring it in. Also
defensive minded coaches, because we get caught up in O'Connell,
Sean McVay, Kyle Shanahan offensive minded coaches. If you look
at what defensive coaches have done, you know, d you
started with Dan Campbell, you got Demiko Ryans, you got
Dan Quinn, you got Sean McDermott. These are defensive minded coaches,
(09:16):
and I think you got to remember that with the postseason,
they're running the football and defense is stressed in a
different way than it has been before. Now you still
want to play great defense, the question is can you?
And we've seen that so far. All right, seton setan pole.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Question today?
Speaker 8 (09:37):
Which quarterback had the worst weekend? Justin Herbert, Jordan Love,
Baker Mayfield.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Okay, Baker Mayfield had a big fumble with eleven minutes
to go. He only threw eighteen times. I think it
was fifteen of eighteen, but that was a huge, huge play.
Jordan Love three interceptions. But I think that those two
teams still had chances to win. Justin Herbert Chargers didn't
(10:07):
have a chance. And this is another thing to factor in.
And we said this at the beginning of the year.
Gone are the days where Justin Herbert's going to throw
for five thousand yards and thirty nine touchdowns. That's not
Jim Harball's game plan. Harball wants to have a big
offensive line, run the football, play good defense. Just like
that happened at Michigan Justin Herbert, and we said this
(10:31):
will statistically be one of his worst seasons because of that,
they're not going to be leading with the pass. He
had four interceptions, three interceptions the entire year regular season
and then four yesterday. So he did have an incredible
season taking care of the football, and this was a
(10:53):
big reason why the Chargers are in the postseason. They
did not have turnovers, they played great defense, and then
all of a sudd uddon Justin Herbert with four interceptions.
So I would say that he had by far and
away the worst game perception wise. I don't think people
are going to look at Jordan Love and go look
at what he did against Dallas last year, and I
(11:13):
think he can still live off that. I think Baker
had a really really good season. That's back to back
really good seasons going to the playoffs. And you know,
Mike Evans had a wonderful season. They were a good team.
We wouldn't have been surprised if they won, but we
weren't going to be surprised if the Commanders won.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
But I would say it's.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Justin Herbert, then Jordan Love, and then Baker Mayfield Mayfield
had the fumble, but they could have won that game.
Any other pole questions that you're thinking about, Seaton for
the first hour.
Speaker 8 (11:47):
You want to preview of our two's pole question, I
can give you that.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (11:52):
Okay, losing NFL team from this weekend, that should feel
the goodest about their future.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
But you should still feel good the goodest. Yeah, Okay,
I think that's grammatically correct. Is that right, Ton?
Speaker 2 (12:08):
The goodest?
Speaker 9 (12:09):
It would be goodest? That is exactly right.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Okay, got any Bronco gear on today?
Speaker 9 (12:14):
I do not.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
I'm wearing somber gray black t they lost.
Speaker 9 (12:20):
Still waiting to get a possession. Maybe we can get
a chance to.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Have the ball.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
I you know what, when they scored the touchdown to start,
I'm like, all right, that little guy is sitting there
with all his Bronco gears, got his bobbleheads and the
penants and hats and everything. Your your Bronco color Adidas.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
I was remarkably.
Speaker 9 (12:41):
Reserved, knowing that they were trying to pull me in.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
They're gonna trick where they're gonna come out and some
BIG's gonna happen here.
Speaker 9 (12:46):
But I didn't buy into it. I didn't. I was
excited to see that, but I didn't buy it.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Isn't the weird Do you think the Broncos uniform had anything.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
To do with their subpar play? Yes, without questions, Okay,
thank you.
Speaker 7 (12:59):
Marvin looks so good against the Chiefs on the looks
wise and on the field.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Well, when Seton set out a text, a group text,
and he goes, the Broncos uniforms are but.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Butt Yeah it was but ugly. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (13:18):
No one has ever won anything major wearing orange pants.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (13:24):
Tennessee fans are like, yeah, well you should see what
it's ugly.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Okay, I'm sorry.
Speaker 7 (13:29):
Sean's right though. The buttet's ears when they won, their
pants were pewter. They were not orange.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
They were not orange.
Speaker 8 (13:34):
No one has ever won anything great in orange pewter.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Yeah. Well you had a good season, Todd.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
We did.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
I was hoping it would be a little more competitive
in the second half. Once that field goal point that
would have tied to ten, I started feeling a little
bit of that momentum.
Speaker 9 (13:48):
That they could have had that they lost.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Going into the book, I agree. When that happened, I
was like.
Speaker 7 (13:54):
Oh uh oh, yeah, isn't the weirdest thing this year?
That the Buffalo Bills have become a run first team.
Forty four carries two hundred and ten yards, and two
years ago that was the story. Oh they got a
bunch of decent running backs, they can never establish the run.
They leave Josh Allen hung out to dry. It's very
weird how much that's changed.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Yeah, but we're seeing teams run the football now. It's
just that's part of the game plan. Where it used
to be can you run the football? It's you, we
will run the football. And you saw that yet you
saw that all weekend long.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
But you're right.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
I think they look at Josh Allen is just he's
another running back there playing quarterback and that ability to
control the line of scrimmage. Cook is when was Cook drafted?
Like was he a third or fourth round draft pick?
But you know they got a couple of running backs
they run hard.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (14:47):
Yeah, Pauling he was the final pick of the second
round in twenty twenty two. He makes one point two
million dollars a season. Yeah, we've talked about this before.
You wanted to do an MVP based off salary, he
would be in there this year.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Yeah, but I think that should factor in.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
I've said this before when a Rod won MVP in
baseball and Big Poppy I thought was more of an
MVP if I factored in he made five million and
a Rod made I think twenty five million. I got
to factor that into value. But they don't. All right,
we'll take a break. We'll come back with Ross Tucker.

Speaker 3 (16:46):
We'll get to phone calls coming up, as we always
do every Monday, Best and worst of the weekend.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
What you saw that you liked you didn't like.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
He's Ross Tucker, CBS Sports Westwood One, NFL college football
analyst and hope to the Ross Tunker Football podcast Busy Man.
He was on the call last night with the Packers
and the Eagles. Also on the sidelines for the Steelers
and the Ravens, and he'll be in the booth with
Kevin Harland for the Texans Chiefs on Saturday in the
(17:15):
divisional playoff. And get ready to hear this voice very
often over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Ross Dallas Goddard is a beast.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
The Philadelphia Eagles cannot be stopped.
Speaker 9 (17:28):
Look at what he did to Valentine. That's an embarrassment.
Ross Tucker.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Hi, Ron, Hey, Dan, you know what I want.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
I think you at some point this week, maybe Friday,
you could do a play by play, like do a
couple plays with Fritzy doing his Kevin Harlan and Paulie
doing his terrible impression of me. However, Pauly, that like
that would be I guarantee I will cut the clip I'll.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Put on social media.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
If you guys do a couple play, do a series
of it seeing Paulie as Kevin Harlan and me, that'd
be amazing.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
All right, Well, Fritzy, why don't you give us a
little bit of the Chiefs against the Texans and then
Paulie will jump in and be the analyst on the call.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Patrick mahomes back to passing avoids the ruts. He's going
down the sideline and that's another twelve yards for Patrick
and another first down for Kansas City.
Speaker 7 (18:25):
I love behoves, behooves can get the ball in the
pocket like anybody at Kansas City.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
The other thing about Kansas City sauce on ribs. Look
it up, Google it, legit.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
There you go, Ross, you asked for it, you got
all right.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Where do you want to start here? Do you want
to start with the Eagles against the Packers or you
want to go back to the Steelers' loss?
Speaker 1 (18:51):
I actually want to talk about the Steelers.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
I want to start there because you know, Dan, I
live in central Pennsylvania, right, so where I live now,
it's like fifty to fifty Eagles fans Steelers. I grew
up closer to Philly and grew up as an Eagles fan.
I can't remember watching a Pittsburgh Steelers team get beat
(19:14):
up physically that badly. You know, everybody focuses, I feel
like on the quarterback situation, and in fairness, they're in
a tough spot there, like what's your solution or anybody's
solution for the Steelers to get a quarterback that can
compete with Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, like,
it's hard that they're in a tough spot there, but
(19:35):
that's that's a separate issue their defense.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Dan, this is the Pittsburgh Steelers. I mean, you have
Cam Hayward, TJ.
Speaker 6 (19:45):
Watt, You're paying Patrick Queen, you're paying Mink and Fitzpatrick.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
They have a lot Alex Heismith getting paid.
Speaker 6 (19:51):
They have a lot of resources invested.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
In that unit.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
And for the Ravens to have two hundred and fifty
yards rushing with six minutes left in the third quarter.
And by the way, the Ravens have had one Pro
Bowl receiver in franchise history. He's eight Flowers.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
He was out for the game.
Speaker 6 (20:11):
He was not playing in the game. So they don't
have by far their best receiver. And you allow the
Ravens to run you over like that. It had to
be embarrassing for a Steelers fan to watch. I thought
that was one of the most notable. Like, if you
told me best and worst of the weekend, I would
(20:32):
say worst of the weekend was watching the Pittsburgh Steelers
get run over, around and through by Derrick Henry and
the Ravens.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Well, let's look at what happens in the offseason with
the Steelers, you have Russell Wilson. I don't think Mike
Tomlin's going anywhere, So what changes do you see with them?
Speaker 1 (20:55):
I agree about Tomlin.
Speaker 6 (20:57):
He's a good coach, I will say, and we probably
talked about this last week. There's a gigantic disconnect between
how people feel about him nationally and how the locals
feel about him because he hasn't won a playoff game
in fever. But I would also submit to you and
how many of those playoff games did he have the
better quarterback?
Speaker 1 (21:17):
How many of those playoff games? The problem is, you know,
everybody wants them to get somebody better.
Speaker 6 (21:22):
How are you going to do that? You know, we
have to live in the real world. They're not going
to draft somebody. They're not gonna draft high enough. So
who could the Steelers get that's better. Do they take
a swing in Aaron Rodgers? Do they go way out
of character and try to pay a lot of money
for Sam Darnold? I mean, these other guys, they're just
(21:44):
not available. To get a top ten guy, it just
doesn't happen.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
I actually thought.
Speaker 6 (21:48):
Russell Wilson Junior the third played pre darn Well in
the second half of that game and gave them a
chance to win. If I'm the Steelers, maybe I have
somebody else can be with him, but he's probably your
best option to win a bunch of games next year
and have a chance to win a playoff game.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
But we make it seem like Mike Tomlin's not involved
in decisions to get these quarterbacks. Is it just, Hey,
the front office takes care of this, and we're going
to get you a quarterback and you'll just make him better.
I imagine he's involved, given his tenure with his Steelers. He's
involved in who they're bringing in. So there is culpability
(22:29):
throughout the Steelers, including Mike Tomlin with them.
Speaker 6 (22:33):
No question, he's definitely involved because I know he's a
big Russell Wilson fan. I actually thought bringing in both
Justin Fields and Russell Wilson this offseason was really smart
to kind of give you two bites at the Apple.
They exceeded expectations. I think their season win total was
eight and a half, so they exceeded expectations.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Obviously they faltered down the stretch.
Speaker 6 (22:57):
There's no question Dan that he's part of taking the quarterback,
no doubt about it. But how nobody everybody complained about
the Steelers quarterback situation doesn't have a solution. So you
want them to try to lose every game for next
year and then have the number one pick and take
the quarterback next year. Like they can't trade for somebody
(23:20):
that's better than what they have. Those guys aren't getting traded.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
Maybe they'll be Derek Carr, you know, maybe it's Aaron
rd I don't know what.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
They're not gonna get a top ten guy.
Speaker 6 (23:30):
They're gonna have to do whatever they can to get
the best guy available.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
You've got the addition of Derrick Henry with Lamar Jackson,
and I always felt like it seemed like the Ravens
got one dimensional in the playoffs, maybe you start to
panic a little bit. They don't have to be one dimensional.
They can be two dimensional running and then add another
dimension with the passing of Lamar Jackson and hopefully you
(23:56):
get Zay Flowers back. But what makes this raven team different?
Speaker 6 (24:02):
I love that point, Dan Love love love that point
because it's funny. I did the Ravens Browns game earlier
in the year and we were talking with Jim Harbaugh
or Jim Harbo, John Harbaugh about Derrick Henry, and he
has a nice way of just kind of telling you
like it is. He said, you know what we were
(24:23):
talking about, and I said, we're a running team. What
it would be like if we had a really good runner,
you know, because the Ravens have been a running team
of Lamar Jackson, but they've never really had like.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
A really good running back.
Speaker 12 (24:37):
You know.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
JK.
Speaker 6 (24:37):
Dobbins was pretty good, but he kept getting hurt. And
they've had like Gus Eard, They've had guys and they've
had a lot of success running it because of the
scheme and because of Lamar. But this is like the
grand experiment that's working fabulously is to actually have a really,
really good running back like Derrick Henry, which makes them
(24:58):
so difficult to defend the And by the way, I
don't think it's a great matchup for the Bills. I mean,
I love the Bills. That was my favorite team I
played for out of the five. And it's good that
they have a home game. But that is going to
be tough because as much as you want to stop
the run, there's a lot of times because of Lamar
(25:18):
that you don't really have a very good solution, and
your solution to put everybody in there, Well, then you're
manning up the tight ends and they run play action
pass and both likely and Mark Andrews, you're putting your
linebackers or safety is in a tough spot. I mean,
there's a reason why Lamar had the ridiculous stats he
(25:39):
had is because there really aren't that many good answers
for a defense with having Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry
in the same backfield.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
And the Ravens are favored by one and a half
against the Bills. We're talking Ross Tucker, CBA Sports, Westwood
One and host of the Ross Tucker Football Podcast.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
How should we look at Justin Hurt.
Speaker 6 (26:03):
I think the same way we always have. I think
he's a very good quarterback. And I said this, you know,
I did that Patriots Chargers game for NFL Network.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
He's a very good quarterback.
Speaker 6 (26:13):
A lot of teams would love to have him, but
we're not gonna consider him an elite quarterback until we
feel like he elevates the guys around him to the
point where he's winning some playoff games, you know, I mean,
and that's that's just the reality of the situation. Look
a lot of people aren't gonna put Josh Allen and
(26:33):
Lamar Jackson in certain categories until they get to a
super Bowl and win it. We're not gonna put Herbert
even in their category until he finds a way to
be able to take this team to the next level.
In fairness to him, their old line got wrecked and
they have a bottom five receiving corps in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
So they exceeded expectations.
Speaker 6 (26:55):
They did not have the same personnel as the Texans
or even most these teams in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
They knew it, you know. Talking with the Chargers coaches,
I think they kind of knew it.
Speaker 6 (27:06):
That they were a year away from being a legitimate contender.
They're gonna get better on the interior zero line, They're
gonna get better at receiver, and Herbert's gonna have a
much better opportunity to actually win a couple of playoff
games next year and try to get He's like the
in the friend zone. He's in the good quarterback zone
(27:27):
right now. He needs to win some playoff games to
get into that next category.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Did the Eagles look good or great?
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Good?
Speaker 6 (27:37):
Yeah, they did not look great because they did not
look very good on offense, their defense was awesome, you know,
the force four turnovers. They've had the best defense in
the NFL since the bye week. They were fantastic for
the most part in that game. But offensively that was rough.
I mean that Jalen Hurts clearly was rusty. He did
(28:00):
not play well. I thought the Packers, that decordinator Jeff Hathley,
had a good plan between you know, forcing Hurts to
stay in the pocket and make throws from the pocket,
but then also bringing blitzes at times. I mean, the
reality is is for the Eagles to go to the
super Bowl, Hurt's gonna have to play better than that.
I mean, if he played like that in Detroit, they
(28:22):
wouldn't win. I don't even know if they would win
next week against the Rams with the Vikings. If he
plays like that, he's gonna have to play better than
he did. I think he will. I mean, he had
missed almost three full games. That was kind of his
first game back. I would expect him to have a
much better performance next week against the winner of tonight's game.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Yeah, I just look at Jalen Hurts and I probably
in the minority. I think he's just a good quarterback
on a really good team. And look, he had an
unbelievable super Bowl, could have been the MVP even in
a losing effort there.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
But I just I'm waiting to see more from him.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
And maybe that's not fair, you know, that's maybe who
he is for that team, but that's just the indication.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
I always get with him well.
Speaker 6 (29:08):
And Dan, there's no question, I mean, he has not
been a top ten quarterback in the NFL. This year,
He's got the best situation a quarterback maybe he has
ever had. I mean, they have the best offensive line
in the league. Okay, he is the best running back
in the league. The tight end Dallas Goddard is a beast.
(29:28):
He's a top five tight end. The receiver duo is
at least the top five duo. I mean, we're talking
about like Troy Atman with the Cowboys, and like, how
often are you in a situation where every guy around
you is top five in their spot.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
They should be able to put up a bunch of points.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
He should be able to play better than he did yesterday,
and they're gonna need him to for sure.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Let's look at the losing teams.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
We talked about the Steelers let's look ahead to who
you like better with the Broncos, Packers, and Buccaneers. Who's
set up for success better?
Speaker 1 (30:08):
I think it's the Packers. Yeah, I think it's the Packers.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
I mean they had this year the second youngest team
ever in the playoffs. The youngest team ever in the
playoffs was the Packers last year. I mean, they're all
home grown. They got really beat up in that game.
You know, to have no Christian Watson, then you lose
both Dobbs and Read during the game. They lose their
(30:35):
best offensive lineman, Elton Jenkins. They lose the turnover battle
for nothing, and they still were right there. I mean,
if the turnover battles three to one, do the Packers.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Win the game?
Speaker 6 (30:47):
If they don't, if they only lose one receiver and
not three receivers, do they win the game. I think
the Packers are positioned to have success next year.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
They just they kind of took a step back at
the end of the season.
Speaker 6 (31:01):
They got to figure out why that was the case
these last three games and being banged up as part
of it. But I would still be buying stock in
the Green Bay Packers. And I didn't think Jordan Love's
performance was anywhere near what Herbert was thought. I thought
Jordan Love played pretty well. I mean that the one
interception of Bond was bad, but the first one.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Was a great play by Slay.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
The last one he just had to try to make
a play and they probably should have called interference on Bond.
I really thought Jordan Love only had one bad interception.
He had some nice throws. Maybe could have made those
other touchdown throws down near the goal line in the
third quarter when they were still right in it. But
I still I would be bullish on Jordan Love and
(31:47):
the Packers moving forward.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
I have an assignment for you in this game coming up.
You have the Texans and the Chiefs. If this happens,
a receiver caused interception. So let's say go off the
hands like it did the tight end with the Chargers.
It's a receiver caused interception an RCI, and then you
could throw that in and Kevin Harlan would probably then
(32:12):
acknowledge that. How would Kevin Harlan acknowledge that, You've.
Speaker 5 (32:16):
Got to be kidding me. That is not acceptable. That
was pretty short. Yeah, So here's the deal.
Speaker 6 (32:28):
Now, everybody has to listen to my broadcast on Saturday.
If that happens, I'm getting RCI in the broadcast. I
am getting RCI in the broadcast. Here's the question. Do
I have to credit you Dan personally? Do you have
to credit the Dan Patrick Show? Or do I just
have to get RCI in the game.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
No, don't need to credit me at all. I want
this to be about you. I want you to hopefully
get credit for it. Where somebody goes, yeah he went
to Princeton. Yeah, that's why he came up with RCI.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Hey, you know what's fun about that? Dan, You're gonna
love this.
Speaker 6 (33:02):
Saturday night during the game, I'm on the sideline and
I called George Pickens mercurial because George Pickens is mercurial
and you can't say pain in me whatever on the.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Radio, right, So he's mercurial.
Speaker 6 (33:19):
And the play by play guy Ryan Rakey and Mike Golick,
the color analysts, they're making fun of me, and they're
saying I'm using big words, and they're saying, you know,
Princeton guy or whatever, which I didn't only look at
mercurial as being like a fancy word. Sunday mornings, I
drive back from Baltimore here to Pennsylvania, and I talked
(33:39):
to my daughters. I asked them first if they've ever
heard of mercurial. They have no idea what I'm talking about.
Then I asked my wife and she didn't know, so
that that's a fail. That's a fail as a radio
guy if you use a word. My wife's very smart.
She went to buck now Together NBA from Kellogg. If
(34:00):
she doesn't know what mercurial means, I should not be
saying that on the radio.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
That's a bad job by me.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
I think you just called your family dumb, is what
you said.
Speaker 6 (34:10):
Well, and fairness, my daughters are eleven and twelve, and
hopefully I'm now praying my wife does not see this clip.
It's a good thing there aren't five hundred stations around
the country listening right now.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
And of course everybody knows Mercurial Morris who ran for
the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
That was his real name. Mer Curial.
Speaker 9 (34:30):
What Todd the definitions of or having to do with mercury? No,
it's not, I'm joking.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
I don't that's what a lot of victories.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
We'll take the word and use that as the explanation
to the meaning or having to do with Mercury.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
Thank you to Ross's great to talk to you. Save travels.
Remember rc I RCI.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
I'm ready for it. Hopefully it happens.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
All right, Ross Tucker, CBS Sports, Westwood One, and the
Ross Tucker Football Podcast. He'll be on the call with
Kevin hart Land Texans Chiefs. That'll be Saturday, four thirty Eastern. Well,

Speaker 9 (35:38):
Check this out.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
Step good, hold down, kick on its way.
Speaker 8 (35:43):
It is good.
Speaker 5 (35:46):
The Cardiac Commanders are the Clutch Commanders day.

Do it again.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
We'll see you.
Speaker 6 (35:53):
At Detroit the Talks.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Wow sound a w w e ish Commanders Radio Network.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
The Commanders move on. That's your play of the day.
Most cars on the road could use a little TLC.
At Maco, they bring your car back to life with
affordable team jobs and like collision repairs, get a free
estimate today. Oh better nked Maco dan Quinn after the
game talking about his rookie quarterback Jade and Daniels.
Speaker 12 (36:30):
Jaden certainly is a big factor in that. I think
if he had his heart rate monitor on in mind,
they would not be the same in the game. And
his days pretty consistently good. Sometimes I'm like the duck
if you just saw the feet going under the water,
it's good. But he really is into that space exceptional.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
Yep, he is.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
And if you look at where this franchise was two
years ago, you know, finally getting rid of the stench
of Dan Snyder bringing new ownership. You bring in Dan
Quinn and then all of a sudden you get your quarterback.
And when you were talking about, hey, which quarterback do
you take? All they're going to have to settle for
Jayden Daniels. There were people in the organization that were
(37:15):
they were getting that they were going to get Jade Daniels.
Caleb Williams bears you can have him, like we like
the consolation prize because We don't think it's a consolation prize.
It just it gave them hope. When you find your quarterback,
you have hope. When you don't have that quarterback, you
don't have hope. All right, eight seven seven three DP
(37:35):
show and we'll get to your phone calls coming up,
Gus in La Gus. I've been thinking about you and
glad to hear from you.
Speaker 13 (37:44):
Good morning, mister Patrick. You know, hope you and the
boys are doing well. Great to talk to you, guys.
You really hasn't been you know, I like, I mean
down on it intended, you know, whatever you want to
think it. But it's in a week from hell the
as An. You know, I lived four months from there.
(38:04):
You guys know where I live. But you know, those
the greatest week of uncertainday. It really hasn't And I
mean I'm not trying to be a downer, but you know,
it's like everything took it back to the sports and everything.
I mean, I was watching an ash snow on my
place on Saturday. Couldn't even enjoy the Steeler game. You know,
it's been it's been a rough week, you know. I mean,
(38:26):
I look forward to being able to call you guys
today to get back to a little bit of normalcy.
But apparently tomorrow they're bracing us again. Tomorrow is supposed
to be like a repeat win wise as far as
winds go. So everybody's here a little still on the edge,
but you know, we're trying to get back to reality
at some point. The young lady that you guys met
(38:47):
a few years ago, her place in the Palatinade, her
for her former place in the palatade that went up
in flames and everything, and so did a lot of
other people that I know of and everything, And you know,
it's been a rough week, but we're trying to get
back to it, and we're trying to get back to
reality one day at a time. And you know, the
best of the weekend for me at least, the brave
(39:09):
men and women of every fire department that came from
every corner, the LAPD, the National Guard. You know, it's
been rough, stresful on many levels. By at the end
of the day we kind of were like, hey, they
have our back. Everybody doing their own part here and
you know, life goes on a bit.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
Well, I'll be thinking of you, and thanks for calling.
We appreciate you having the opportunity and maybe some normalcy
there in your life. That's goes to l A. Yeah,
once again, the firefighters, the first responders, I mean all
of those people.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
They they put their.
Speaker 3 (39:45):
Heart and soul, they put their lives on the line,
and you know, all these disasters. It's not just Los Angeles,
it's when there's tornadoes. They they run when you're running
in and everybody's running out. I mean that we use
the word hero, but we use it too often and
probably not for the right people. Uh, Buddha in San Francisco,
(40:09):
Hi Buddha, good to have you back.
Speaker 14 (40:13):
What a f DP Happy Monday boys. Shout out to
my man Gus in La. Stay strong, brother, I.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Feel you, man.
Speaker 14 (40:22):
This weekend was pretty predictable, Dan, I mean as far
as the games went. I mean, even with the Patriots
hiring Mike Rabel, which was predictable. I mean, but real quick, sat,
Dan Vrabel had ten catches in his Patriots' career, not eleven, Fritzy,
what I did there? All ten were touchdowns. Let's go, Fritsy.
(40:44):
Worst of the weekend, Dan, I mean the Chargers. They
do this to us every year, Dam, I mean, Dan,
you've even fallen to it right. I mean, it's a
tradition unlike any other in sports. It's like they have
some chargery style upon them that I just find a
way to let fans and gamblers down.
Speaker 1 (41:03):
I mean, it's so disappointing.
Speaker 14 (41:05):
And best of the weekend, Oh Man, salute the Commanders,
Man Jade and Daniel, the scary Terry balling out winning
and what was only like the really great game of
the day, I mean, thank god, because most of them
were kind of boring in.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
Terms of competitiveness.
Speaker 14 (41:20):
Competitiveness, and I just I hope Washington Dan can like
take this momentum somehow and just change the franchise name
back to the Redskins, because the Commanders it's just not good.
Speaker 3 (41:35):
Good Yeah, moving back into downtown and maybe maybe they
try to bring back the old nickname.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
There's certainly been talk about that. Anybody going to complain.
Speaker 3 (41:47):
About the quality of games in the NFL and the
postseason the way everybody complained about the quality of college
bowl games. Probably not. Tony Dungee will join us coming up.
We'll give you our bet and worst to the weekend
and we will play Phil in the blank. All of
that coming up
