Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
If you're not chiefed out, you will be in two weeks.
Welcome to the program. It's a Monday Best and Worst
of the weekend. What you saw that you liked you
didn't like, you can dial us up. Operator Tyler sitting
by you take your phone calls. Staut of the Day
brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards
of the Dan Patrick Show. Good morning. If you're watching
on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app. And if
(00:28):
you're watching on Peacock, you'll see that is not Seatan
in the back row with Fritzy. That's Dylan, the graphics guy,
also part of the Gambling podcast, and he's sitting in
where Seaton normally is because Seaton's on the road with
the French Kid in the Maco van heading down to
New Orleans. And you'll be able to go to Danpatrick
dot com to follow along with their journey. It's almost
(00:51):
like you're waiting for your Uber driver with Seatan and
the French Kid and they'll be driving to New Orleans.
They're supposed to be there by Friday. Dylan's responsibilities and
this is this is all we're supposed to do, and
that's the poll question today. We're going to ease into this.
We're going to see if you're ready for your your
close up. It's the big first step. Yes it is. Okay.
(01:12):
So pole question from the first hour was more off season.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Pain, Bill's Lions or other? Okay, and currently the Bills
are actually cleaning up fifty seven percent of the vote there.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
All right, that's probably recentcy bias, but I get it.
I don't think there's a wrong answer in that. Now,
what's poll question for hour two?
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Hour two?
Speaker 3 (01:36):
We are going to do? This is actually one that
I thought of.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Then, Oh that's okay, yeah, yeah, all right.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
What were you rooting for?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
More Bill's Mafia to make it to the super Bowl
or Dan Snyder to have to watch.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
The Commanders make it to the Super Bowl? Bill's Mafia
in New Orleans. Absolutely, it's going to be a bummer.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
They won't be down there.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Yes, I don't care about Dan Snyder. I'm I'm glad
that he's twisted up and tormented somewhere on his two
hundred million dollar yacht. I mean, would I enjoy it
only if I got to see him in pain? If
you had Dan Cam and he's there on his yacht
and he's watching throwing the remote at the TV, that'd
(02:18):
be good. But an ESPN dot com, I think Don
Van Nada had a really really deep dive on the
former Washington owner and how miserable he is. Oh, boo hoo,
so miserable. I'm lying here my six hundred million billion
dollar yacht bed that I have here, it's stuffed with billions.
(02:41):
Boo hoo. We'll do fill in the blank here coming up.
Lewis Riddick from the Mothership will stop by as well.
The early betting line with DraftKings Chiefs favored by one
and a half over under is forty nine and a half,
and the odds to win the Super Bowl MVP it's
Patrick Mahomes followed by Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts. We
(03:03):
talked to Booger McFarlane on Friday and I said, what's
the key, Buffalo, what's their key? What's the commander's key?
And the one thing that I, you know, I kept
thinking back, is yeah, your job is to stop Saquon Barkley.
And they did a pretty good job. But it's almost like, hey,
(03:23):
we got that guy out four times, but the fifth
time he hit a grand slam. So he's won for five,
but he had a grand slam. That's kind of what
Saquon Barkley has done. He'll go one for five, but
that one is sixty and those I mean, you just
start the game and there he goes. But I mean
he didn't have an incredible amount of yards, but he
(03:47):
did score touchdowns. Jalen Hurts really was That's as good
a game as he's had, probably since the Super Bowl.
And then you get that defense is really I mean,
it's just a That's why I said probably since week
they're the best team in football because of the offensive
and defensive line. It's you know, a far as trying
to beat Kansas City. Having the opportunity with the ball
(04:09):
in your hands three and a half minutes to go,
you're down three with three timeouts. That's what you want.
I got Josh Allen. If you said, hey, this is
what is going to come down to, I'm going to
say Buffalo's going to win. Keep him off the field,
go down there, score a touchdown, you go to the
super Bowl. That's what you want as an MVP. You
(04:32):
want that that opportunity. I want the ball in my hands.
Well we know how that worked out. Mahomes once again
proved that he is the ultimate eracer when you think
of that guy's got the ball in his hands, game
on the line, Tom Brady, Joe Montana, John Elway. You know,
there's a few of those players on a short list there.
(04:54):
But he has twelve postseason games and he's had twelve
career postseason trailing by one possession. In those twelve career
postseason drives trailing by one possession, he has engineered six
go ahead touchdowns, five game tying field goals, and just
one punt. So it's not just clutch that's historic and
(05:18):
the ability to rise above the chaos do the right
thing at the right time. He doesn't get the style
points that he once did, but he's not trying. That's
not important. He truly understands if we win, then he wins,
and he is trying to get into Michael Jordan category
(05:38):
of three peating. I'm sure Tom Brady's in the back
of his mind of I can get there, but to
go three peat now, all of a sudden, that's just different.
It's rarefied air. I mean, this is once you want
that opportunity to do something nobody else has done, and
getting that opportunity in the Super Bowl. It's not about hey,
(06:03):
did you see how many touchdown passes or what I mean?
He was more dangerous as a runner yesterday, again picking
the right place at the right time and doing the
right thing and not trying to do more. Josh Allen
tried to do more yesterday, and during the regular season
(06:24):
he didn't. It was if we win, then I win.
And James Cook I thought they were going to ride
him and that was going to be the difference. But
I go back to what I saw with Derek Henring.
You know, you used him in the third quarter, you
went all the way down for a touchdown, and then
didn't use him after that. James Cook had what thirteen carries?
(06:46):
I need the ball. I just wanted. I wanted him
to shoulder a little more of the responsibility. Now, maybe
he was banged up, but he averaged six yards per
care so that was a little bit surprising. All right,
there's a piece of sound I want. Here is the
fourth down, fourth quarter call as the Chiefs stop the
(07:07):
Bills quorbit motion.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Now peels back to the left.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
He's for chasing Tosh Tallen.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
He throws it up for grabs and the passes in
cop played in com play off the arm of the
would be receiver Dalton Kinkaid. Jarn Sau City has the
second fourth down stop in this half.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
That was the ninety six point five The fan the
Chiefs Radio Network Patrick Mahomes after the game talked about
all of his postseason victories.
Speaker 7 (07:36):
Patrick's seventeen postseason win now second olds back.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
I didn't know history.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Just how does that feel at the story?
Speaker 8 (07:42):
Yeah, it's I mean, it's obviously really cool. That's your
goal is to win in the postseason, not him blessed
being a lot of great football teams with a lot
of great coaches. Is in a great organization, and I
just try to maximize every moment because you never know
what's gonna be your last one. I know I'm a
long way from Tom, so I'll trying to do whatever
I can to get close.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
To that you could have had this last year or
the year before. Where he's asked this question, it's just
it's on repeat and he'll probably be saying the same
thing next year. Seaton's back on the road with Mako

New Orleans. Most cars on the road could use a
little TLC. At Maco. They bring your car back to

great job with the van. Looks beautiful and seating. And

seven to seven three DP show a couple of phone calls.
Gus in La. We have fill in the blank to
bring you as well. Hi Gus, welcome back.
Speaker 9 (08:41):
Good morning, mister Patrick. Hope and the boys had a
great weekend. Hey, let me tell you if Dylan's outfit
is any indicative how the week's going to go. We
are in for an epic week of Dylan. Let me
tell you a beautiful o't thing he's got going on.
Lulo's pan anyway, little many of many best of the
week and the Washington Commanders. Hey you know somewhere James
(09:04):
in Virginia. I hope you're smiling, brother. That was an
incredible year. How many times do we go from number
two overall draft pick I don't know, Heisman bus maybe
to one win shot of the super Bowl. You know,
I hate saying, you know it's a moral victory or whatever,
but the whole season played with house money and they
almost hate it. Awesome, great to see. Best of the weekend.
(09:27):
I got to give it up to say Kwon Barkley.
You know, another one where it's like, did anybody see
this coming? You know, maybe you know the Philly Faithful
thought coming, but nobody else. Did you know he leaves
New York? You know, was it a bus or whatever
to him to now be playing for the Super Bowl
on his birthday of all days. I mean, you can't
(09:48):
script it better than that. And you know what, no
worse to the weekend. I said it worse to Tyler.
But you know what, we had rain out here this weekend.
Everybody was in the streets of LA like Tim Robbins
at the end, Shaw take redemption. It was beautiful this
weekend to get some rain out here. Loved it. You
boys have a great week.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yeah, I just worry about the mud slides, but yeah,
glad they got some rain in Los Angeles. Zach and Knoxville.
Hey Zach, what's on your mind?
Speaker 10 (10:18):
Hey DP, thanks for taking my call. Just the best
and worst of the weekend. As guys said, it was
the weekend of moral victories.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
For me.
Speaker 10 (10:27):
My Huskies lost to the Xavier fighting Chili Spaghettis, but
Aiden Mahaney with fourteen and three and three off the
bench is going to be my best of the weekend.
And my worst of the weekend is Marshawn Lattimore and
how much effort he put in after the whistle. If
he would just put in a little more effort during
(10:47):
the play, he might have been able to stop A. J.
Brown a couple of times.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Fighting is silly in football. He got helmets on. It's
just silly. You see that? And you know, guys get
caught up in oh would you say? And then you
know Travis Kelcey talks some trash and like, I get
the trash talking, I don't get the physical altercation or
the potential for that. Jeff in La, Hi, Jeff, what's
(11:14):
on your mind?
Speaker 9 (11:16):
Hey?
Speaker 7 (11:16):
Morning? That first time on Time five seven, one sixty.
So I'm gonna start off with my worst of the weekend
is I have the Commanders in the playoff pool. I
was hoping for a sender on the story that didn't happen.
But best of the weekend is my wife went into labors.
So I'm Curry in the delivery room with my wife
(11:37):

Speaker 4 (12:12):

Speaker 2 (12:13):
Yeah, I've been there four times. You're never quite sure

Speaker 4 (12:37):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (12:37):

Speaker 11 (12:37):
You know what nobody prepares you for is the first
night you sleep in the hospital after you and your
wife have a child.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
The man, the gentleman.
Speaker 11 (12:45):
Now, I'm not complaining because my wife did ninety nine
percent of the work. They put you in that folding
chair with the wooden arms that was built in nineteen
seventy two. It's the least comfortable night of your entire
life physically, if you can bring a couple of pillows
or maybe a temp you know, like some type of
you know, pad or something like that.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
I don't know if this is a good take by you.
Speaker 11 (13:07):
Oh it is well, I believe me. That's the only downside. Yeah,
it's not a physically.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
I don't think this go over well with the women, lad, Yeah,
not at all. I love someone has to speak up
for I think we do this privately. I don't know
if you're gonna someone had It had to be said.
It had to be said, yes, Todd.
Speaker 12 (13:26):
And then you're in a situation where it could be
too late for the epidural. That was one of the
situations we were in. You have a certain window.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Wait, you were getting an epidural. I should have.
Speaker 12 (13:33):
Gotten one because I don't handle those situations very well.
But once you get past a certain window, you gotta
do it natural. No matter how much pain you're in.
They can't give it to you because it's dangerous.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Yeah I had one of those two.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:44):

Lewis Riddick and the Mothership, the ESPN, NFL College Football analyst,
former NFL safety. I got an idea for the NFC
AFC Title Game. Now this is strictly for your football
audience that every other year you'll have NFC Title Game Sunday,
(16:40):
AFC Title Game Saturday the following year. Then you change
it up AFC Sunday NFC because this is about us.
I don't know about you on your Saturday, Lewis, but
I had nothing going on and I was joning for something.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Yeah. Man, it's a lot to consume one day. It'd
be nice. It would be nice to kind of break
it up a little bit and kind of have to
be standalone. I'm sure the look I mean, the NFL
is always interested in driving network viewership right, trying to
get the numbers as big as possible. I don't know
if the numbers have come out for the Kansas City
Chiefs game, but I had heard that they were gonna
be like monstrous, and with the way that game went
(17:17):
down with the wire, there's no question that it probably was.
But yeah, I'd be okay with that, Dan, I'd be
okay with that stretch it out as long as possible.
I'm already sick about the fact that the season's almost over.
I know, well, you know, I'm just going, what are
we gonna do? We do that?
Speaker 11 (17:33):
I know.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
You'd probably be okay with having the ball down three
three and a half minutes to go, three timeouts, And
if you're a Buffalo bill fan with Josh Allen, right,
that's not asking much of an MVP candidate. So what
where did they go wrong?
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Oh? Well, I'll tell you what if I'm the Dalton
Kinkaid makes that catch, you know, the catch at the
end of the game where Josh makes it, absolutely fantastic play.
As far as the blitz that the Spags broke brings
from the Boundary with Trent McDuffie and Josh sees it
(18:16):
and lost that ball up there, and Dalton's not able
to bring that ball in. You know, we could be
having a totally different conversation here today. It's amazing that
he was able to get that ball off. It's amazing
that it was right in the hands of Kincaid. It's
almost like you feel bad for Kinkaid to say, well,
you feel bad for Mark Andrews a week ago, because
we may be talking about a totally different conversation. Rewind
(18:39):
it back to the beginning of the fourth quarter with
the spot of the ball and the fourth down play
with Josh where just from watching it on TV at first,
I said them sitting there thinking, oh man, they've got it.
They've got it. They're about to seize the control of
this football game. They're already up won, they're unplused territory.
Maybe the game's gonna change, you know, maybe that's it.
Maybe they tried they they solidify the game there. But
(19:01):
I think what it shows you is like there's a
bunch of different inflection points in that football game that
if you're the opposing team and you're in that Narrowhead
stadium and you're going up against Patrick Mahomes, if you
don't seize them, if you don't definitively seize them. Then
the combination of Patrick and Andy's play calling, which was
nothing short of just you know, teach tape worthy down
(19:24):
the stretch, He's gonna They're gonna make you pay. And
that's why this team is now playing for its third
straight title, which is just amazing.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
There's a moment when I see Josh Allen on that
fourth down play. Now you play defensive back, Yeah, felt
like that defensive back was looking in the backfield and
I thought, is he coming? Like I didn't I don't
know enough about that position, but I don't know if
(19:53):
you normally look in the backfield when you're out there
kind of on an island, you know, man man and coverage.
It felt like he was looking and that made me think,
oh my gosh, is he coming? And you know, you
got to disguise it that you're just doing everything. This
is the way I always do it. And it just
(20:13):
like it dawned on me for a second, like do
you normally look at the quarterback if you're just playing
man coverage?
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Yeah? You know what, sometimes you do. Sometimes you're trying
to get you know, you're you're looking at your guy,
you're taking a peek at the quarterback, you're taking a peak,
you know, at the line of scrimmage. You're you're trying
to get You're just kind of like taking it all in.
Sometimes you want to you you kind of get you
fall into like a little bit of a you know,
you want to get the rhythm of the quarterback center exchange,
(20:42):
so you know when the ball's about to be snapped.
And then ultimately, yeah, your eyes go back to your
coverage responsibility. And sometimes quarterbacks can you know, you're right,
quarterbacks can kind of pick up on the fact that, hey,
you're you're spending too much time looking at me. I
think something is up here. So it's a kind of
a cat and mouse game, it really is. And and look,
Trent's one of the very best in the in the league.
(21:03):
Ian McDuffie's just one of one of the very best
in the league. And uh and even with all that,
even with all that being said, first of all, I
don't know how. I don't know how Josh saw Dalton
in the first place, despite the fact I guess he's
six ' five and you know, he's he's a freak
of nature. Himself and he's able to off his back
foot and launch that thing the.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Way I think Spot I didn't know.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
You know what what was amazing is that the Chiefs
just dropped him. They dropped Dalton in coverage. They had
a total coverage bust in the back end, and they
had done that a couple of different times during the game.
They let I'll tak about Buffalo in many ways. As
much as I love the Chiefs and respect everything that
they have accomplished, in many ways, Buffalo is gonna wasch
that tape and They're gonna go, oh my goodness. We
(21:49):
had so many opportunities that we just didn't capitalize them.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
I was rooting for the referees yesterday, I went rooting
for Buffalo or Kansas City. I wanted. I wanted it
to be a controversy free game.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Me too.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Then you have the spot they worthy play. It just
feeds into that narrative of Kansas City gets the call.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Yep, it does, and you hate that. You hate it
because everything on your right, everything on my Twitter feed,
when I'm sitting there looking at it and just typing
some stuff, turning the game, everything is about yeah but
the refs. Yeah, but the refs. Yeah, but the you
know what, and that was that was like the same
the same thing was happening, Like honestly in the first
game in the in the a Philly in the Philly
(22:37):
in Washington game, it's it's always about about why Washington
ultimately ultimately lost that game, and like that, that has
become like an easy go to thing now for people,
and I understand that there are some things that look
at it's no different than any other sport where sometimes
superstars get preferential treatment, superstars get calls that you just
(22:57):
don't necessarily see, uh other teams or other players getting calls.
But it shouldn't be the dominating like just narrative surrounding
a football team like Kansas City when they have earned
it on the field, they've earned the Super Bowls that
they've won, they earned the right think they lost one
game this year when everyone in our business, every single one,
(23:21):
every single week from about the halfway point on, was
trying to find ways to say why this football team
would not get back to New Orleans. Yeah, they found
the way every single week. And now quite honestly, they're
playing at their up, they're they're they're peaking at the
right time, and that's very dangerous for Philadelphia.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Yeah, but if you're going back to the Super Bowl
against Philadelphia, that was a controversial call late in the
game that went the Chiefs way on the past interference.
So true, I mean, but.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
What who's that? Who is that against against?
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Was that against Bradbury?
Speaker 4 (23:55):
James Bradberry, But he said himself that yeah, he did,
he grabbed them. It is what I mean see in that.
I don't I don't. I don't know, Dan, I don't
know how controversial that call was. That that was a
clear if that was it, if that was any other
team other than Kansas City, it's like, yeah, that that's
passoror Ferris, that's defensive holding. I mean, you can't do it.
(24:17):
But because it's Kansas City, and because there have been
plays that that do spark a lot of debate about
whether or not referees are giving them some calls that
they don't necessarily deserve, it's going to get amplified. But yeah,
I see your point. I see your point.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
When did it start to go wrong for the Commanders?
Speaker 4 (24:37):
Oh boy, Well, a number well, there's a number of
different things. The explosive play component right out of the Gates.
The first play kind of was a precursor of what
you saw was going to happen in this football game
as far as them, they're inability to contain the run game,
(24:59):
to contain the explosive play component. And then if you
take it back to the first drive for Washington where
they had what was that? What was that like an
eighteen play drive they eat up like eight to nine
minutes and you still only get three that you knew,
you knew every drive had to end up in six
it had to and when they weren't able to do that,
I mean, that's that's forecasting way way way ahead of
(25:21):
time and really trying to say that you know something
that that really you don't. You don't know if it's
gonna be that's gonna be the case all game long.
But it just seems so difficult.
Speaker 9 (25:30):
You know.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
I talked about this earlier in the day on Sports
Center about that, like Vick was gonna Fangio, the defensive coordinator,
was gonna make it hard for Jayden. He was gonna
make them have to drive eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve plays.
He was gonna play a lot more too high and
go do you have the patience to drive this ball
and be perfect for eight, nine, ten, twelve, fifteen plays
(25:50):
to score against our defense. I'm gonna bet that you don't.
I'm not gonna make the same mistake I made when
we came to Washington. We played a lot of single
high and you earned us on the outside one on
one with big plays not letting you do it. And
he didn't let him do it. He simply didn't let
him do it. And then that offensive line in the
running game for Philly, It's just that that's gonna be
(26:14):
the thing if you're Kansas City now moving forward. Cansey
better have an answer for the big boy football that
Philly's gonna try and play. And they better hope and
they better make sure that Jalen doesn't get hot like
it looked like he's starting to come on a little bit.
Speaker 9 (26:29):
You know.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
It was nice to see him hit aj Brown, was
nice to see Davonte make some plays because if they
get that part going to man, it's gonna be it's
gonna be just like it was the last time these
two met down in Arizona.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
I like in Saquon Barkley to Barry Sanders from the
standpoint of one yard minus two four yards sixty six.
That's what Barry used to do. Now, different types of runners,
but the end result is similar.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Yeah, And you know what's cool about that is if
you just kind of broaden that out from a bigger picture,
looking at it from a bigger picture. That's why I
wasn't concerned, or really haven't been concerned about Philadelphia's inability
to create explosives in the passing game, which many people
thought was going to be something that would hold them
(27:21):
back from being able to win a title or even
get to the Super Bowl. I'm saying, well, look, Saquon
is producing explosive plays at a historic rate like no
running back has ever been able to do this. Besides
who you're talking about, guys like Barry Sanders, and Barry
just didn't have the team around him that obviously Saquan does.
But that that point right there is the single greatest
(27:43):
reason why this team is still as dangerous as it is.
You know, on top of the fact that they have
maybe the best collection of one through fifty three arguably
in the NFL. But this guy can take a game
and absolutely flip it on its head in a way
that most coaches and most front office people think has
to come in the passing game because no one's ever
(28:04):
done it like that, No team has never reached the
Super Bowl doing it like that, And this guy does
it on the regular. You come to expect it now,
which is just freakish. And he's a one of a
kind tout. Look when Dave get him and drafted him
in New York and got killed for it, he said,
this is a gold jacket player. And obviously he wasn't
(28:24):
able to build up the infrastructure around him to help
him like Philly has. But he was right. He was
dead right on the value.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Yeah, when he goes in as a Philadelphia Eagle, then he'll.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
Be Unfortunately, Dave and John Maren, all of them are
gonna be sitting there going, oh my god. And Joe
Shay may too in the end.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Okay, but does this change the philosophy going into this
draft that now all of a sudden, our running backs
back in vogue, that like Ashton Genty, is he a
top ten pick now? Because we're looking at the kind
of comeback of the running back.
Speaker 4 (28:59):
You know, it's gonna be very subjective. There's always gonna
be people. They're gonna be a guy on our desk
to come draft night by the name of mel Kiper,
who still won't believe that you don't have that you
have to draft a running back in the top ten
or in the first round unless he is a Barry
Sanders s type of talent, Abijon robins an s type
of talent. But I think what it is showing you,
(29:21):
what Saquan is making people think about, is this, if
you have someone well, you know what, let's just compare
him to Aston genty in particular, because I had the
privilege of being able to call that game down the
Fiesta Bow. He has the same characteristics, meaning body blow,
body blow, four yards, one yard, four yards, five yards,
(29:42):
seventy I'm out the gate and he's got It'll be
interesting to see what Ashton runs. He looks like, he
plays like a guy who has four to three speed
at two hundred and twenty pounds and is basically nothing
but one giant muscle. So yeah, I think that that
conversation within scouting departments and in draft rooms is going
to be, Hey, look, if there's a guy who we
(30:05):
think in a league that puts a premium on explosive plays,
can make explosive plays for us out of the backfield.
Hell yeah, we're gonna draft them. It's exactly what Jamir
Gibbs does for Detroit and what Brad Holmes got killed
four drafted him in the first round. Yeah, I think
I think Dan that whole conversation around never draft running
(30:25):
backs in the top fifteen or in the first round overall.
I think that that's over with.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
He's Lewis.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
I know there are gms right now who believe this.
This is one of the best running back drafts that
have been around that have come along in a while
this year.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Lewis Riddick of the Mothership NFL College Football analyst coaching hires.
If I wanted to hide the fact that I hired
a coach, I'd probably announce that on a Friday night
that I had hired my coach, and you know, a
busy weekend as well. And the Dallas Cowboys somehow did
(31:00):
the Dallas Cowboys, who love attention, they love spotlight shiny things,
notice me, And then all of a sudden, it's oh,
by the way, oh yeah, forgot to tell you we
hired Brian Schottenheimer as the head coach. What are they doing.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
What Jerry does?
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Okay, but could this be the right higher I mean,
nobody else was interviewing Brian Schottenheimer.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
It could, It could. And you know what, if you
wanted to play Devil's advocate, you could say, well, with
the fact that there are seven, eight nine openings every
single year, and a lot of times, these teams are
hiring the people who everyone the consensus is these are
the next hot up and comers.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
They're not.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
That's not the right way to do it either.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
No, So I mean, why not hire Dion? Why not
if you love attention? I mean, what's on the downside,
you're well for thirty.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
I think there's I think there's like and I'm not
the first person to say this, but I have actually
seen this in real life and I've seen how this works.
You know, there's winning, and then there's winning the way
you want to win. Like, sometimes winning isn't good enough
for people. It's well now, but I'm not having fun
because I'm not involved. I'm not the guy. I want
to do it when I'm the guy, when I get
(32:15):
the credit, when I can be the one who's in
the you know, at the you know, at the at
the head of the pack, and I'm the one who
was the voice of the organization. Jerry already showed that
he didn't like that back in the nineties when they
were steamrolling everybody, and I played against those teams. Those
teams were unstoppable. They simply were unstoppable. And he wound
(32:36):
up getting rid of the guy, get rid of a
Hall of Fame coach in Jimmy Johnson.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
But you're he's a great business man. You can't run
a business.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
Then there are so many guys, every single guy, quite honestly,
buying large. Not every guy, but most of the owners
buying large in the NFL are a great business. Yeah,
you don't buy football teams because you're not smart as
far as how to make money. A whole lot of them, though,
are terrible when it comes to understanding what it takes
(33:08):
to win in the game of football. Hell I remember
at one time having an owner say to me, quote,
it's football, how hard can it be? And that's the
kind of arrogance that a lot of those guys have
when it comes to look at this game, it's just
a bunch of guys who are running around pads, you know, hit.
(33:29):
Just give me the best players, give me the give
me the coach that everyone says the greatest and throw
the football, score some touchdowns, keep them healthy. If they're not,
we'll get someone else and just keep it going. Sometimes
people look at it like that. They don't. They don't.
They don't think it deserves the same that it has
the same kind of nuance, or deserves the same kind
(33:50):
of attention, or requires the same kind of mental horsepower
that it requires to run Microsoft, or or or Apple,
or you know, be a company that's that's a Fortune
five hundred company that makes billions of dollars a year.
They don't think, they don't think it's that intricate. But
those are usually the ones who wind up on the
outside looking in, looking for coaches every single year, wondering
(34:13):
why damn why can't I get there? Why can't I
be in the Super Bowl where now all the eyes
are on me? Because they want to do it their way.
That's why.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Good to talk to you. Thanks for joining us. See
you in New Orleans. Lewis Riddick, the Mother Shoe former
safety and worked with the Eagles and Washington director of
player personnel. Take a break. We have our best and
worst of the weekend phone calls coming up, and we'll
play Fill in the Blank.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Right after this, be sure to catch the live edition
of The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern
six am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAPP.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
More phone calls coming up. It's let's see you have
best and worst of the weekend. Also filling the Blank.
America loves filling the Blank. I've got it right here.
We're going to bring phill in the Blank to New Orleans.
It's such a great game. And by the way, Dylan
is sitting in for a seat and seatings on the
road with the French Kid. So Dylan this week is
(35:12):
a seat filler. But unlike seat fillers at the Academy Ward, no, no,
you get to you get to speak. I know what
you're saying. I just didn't want an empty seat. Although
some have suggested it is an empty seat with you
sitting in it, and I said, that's not fair. That
isn't fair. Dylan. Dylan is very valuable. He does the
(35:33):
graphics on the show and he also is part of
the Gambling podcast.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
I think Anthony took over for graphics today. You may
have already mastered it better than I have.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
So Anthony is an intern and I said to the
big german, could Anthony figure this out? Because I thought
it might take him a few days. And I go
back there and I see it. He's it right out
of college. I go, are you okay, Goes? Oh, yeah,
like not a problem at all. Seaton would be hard
to replace. Apparently you wouldn't be hard to replace. Yes,
(36:06):
it was. You thought this was your big coming out, partysed. Yes,
all right, let's do fill in the blank. I will
give you a sentence and then you fill in the blank.
It's that simple. The Washington commanders are blank. Todd no rookies.
Speaker 12 (36:24):
They are no rookies. They look like they've been there before.
Jayden Daniels maybe have been a rookie. But they are
playing and we'll continue to play like Dylan.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
The commanders are blank hopeful, okay, Marvin trending up? Okay,
Pauline refreshing. I want to put a tab on that.
Though they still need new uniforms, I don't know they
have some that I really like, some I really like.
Speaker 11 (36:54):
They would have probably had two less turnovers. The uniforms
too fewer.
Speaker 8 (37:01):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
The Washington Commanders are for real. Jalen Hurts is blank
tod sneaky dangerous.
Speaker 12 (37:09):
You gotta say a fast and making one.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Word, Okay, snaky dangerous, Dylan undeserving of all the criticism.
Speaker 11 (37:16):
Oh, Marvin, Jalen Hurts is enough, Paul, Mine was close
to Marvin. I'm gonna go tough to beat.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
I'll say Jalen Hurts is good. Saquon Barkley is Blankton
like that Eagles.
Speaker 12 (37:33):
Movie with the Mark Wahlberg while black. I'm gonna go invincible, convincible.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
Dylan hooking up the running back position, cookating up the
running okay, kind of wordy, Marvin. Saquon Barkley is blank
bonds ish Oh, okay.
Speaker 11 (37:54):
Paul Hall of Famey. If you had asked me a
year ago, is Saquon Barkley going the Hall of Fame?
We're going to be out of football in three years,
I would have said out of football.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
Saquon Barkley is a giant.
Speaker 14 (38:07):
Oh yeah, Todd.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
The Bills lost because of bag last week or coaching.
Give the blank The Bills.
Speaker 12 (38:19):
Lost because of blank bag slast weeker coaching, Dylan.
Speaker 14 (38:26):
Uh, the chip in the football not working it properly, okay, Marvin,
push push fail, Paulie. The Bills lost because of the Bills.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
The Bills lost because of Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes is blank.
Speaker 12 (38:49):
Todd capitalizing, always capitalized on every little mistake or something
doesn't go right by the other team.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
Dylan winning, winning, Marvin Jordan Esque Paully. Patrick Mahomes is
blank ahead f schedule. Patrick Mahomes is the great eraser.
Speaker 5 (39:10):
The tush push play is blank Todd as nice, nice,
Dylan bogus, Marvin effective, Paully in its final weeks.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
Ooh, you think it changes in the offseason.
Speaker 11 (39:32):
I do. Rarely does the NFL do anything to help
the defense. But this tush push play really only serves
one team, and the fans collectively don't like it. Here's
the thing. In two thousand and five, for whatever reason,
the NFL allowed lineman to push the ball carrier. It
had been illegal for over fifty years. There still is
(39:53):
a rule that you cannot pull the ball carrier. For
whatever reason, two thousand and five, the NFL opened the
door to push it. Nobody did it for years. If
you remember, it was that same season in two thousand
and five that the bush push happened in the USC,
Notre Dame being which was illegal, not called the NFL
could easily clear this up.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
The tush push is unstoppable. Although I had a problem.
I have a problem with a hard count. They allowed
the hard count. The hard count is to draw you
off sides. So the Eagles were using a hard count
and then the defense would jump off sides. They're doing
what the hard count is meant to do at the end.
(40:34):
So when they said I didn't know they could award
a touchdown, I was. I kept thinking, it can't get
any closer to the end zone, Like it's gonna be
like four centimeters. Hey, if you jump off sides, it's
going to be another four centimeters. And then they said, hey,
if you do it one more time, we're going to
get them a touchdown. I thought, wow, what was the
(40:54):
expression the referee said of what they were doing?
Speaker 12 (40:58):
Yes time he said about that type of behavior he's there.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
Now, wasn't it palpable or something? He had a big
word attached to that. I didn't think it was just hey,
if you continue that kind of behavior. I thought that
there was a little there was like an sat word
in there, well, an sat word for me, maybe not
for you guys. Do we have that exchange there? What
(41:23):
that call?
Speaker 4 (41:24):
Was.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
We'll get some of our best people on that final
hour on the way, more phone calls as well. Minister
of Humor, get to administer some humor today, Fritzy Wow,
Dylan is here. Marvin Paulie Yours truly final hour on
the Monday straight Ahead.
You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
If you're not chiefed out, you will be in two weeks.
Welcome to the program. It's a Monday Best and Worst
of the weekend. What you saw that you liked you
didn't like, you can dial us up. Operator Tyler sitting
by you take your phone calls. Staut of the Day
brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards
of the Dan Patrick Show. Good morning. If you're watching
on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app. And if
(00:28):
you're watching on Peacock, you'll see that is not Seatan
in the back row with Fritzy. That's Dylan, the graphics guy,
also part of the Gambling podcast, and he's sitting in
where Seaton normally is because Seaton's on the road with
the French Kid in the Maco van heading down to
New Orleans. And you'll be able to go to Danpatrick
dot com to follow along with their journey. It's almost
(00:51):
like you're waiting for your Uber driver with Seatan and
the French Kid and they'll be driving to New Orleans.
They're supposed to be there by Friday. Dylan's responsibilities and
this is this is all we're supposed to do, and
that's the poll question today. We're going to ease into this.
We're going to see if you're ready for your your
close up. It's the big first step. Yes it is. Okay.
(01:12):
So pole question from the first hour was more off season.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Pain, Bill's Lions or other? Okay, and currently the Bills
are actually cleaning up fifty seven percent of the vote there.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
All right, that's probably recentcy bias, but I get it.
I don't think there's a wrong answer in that. Now,
what's poll question for hour two?
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Hour two?
Speaker 3 (01:36):
We are going to do? This is actually one that
I thought of.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Then, Oh that's okay, yeah, yeah, all right.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
What were you rooting for?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
More Bill's Mafia to make it to the super Bowl
or Dan Snyder to have to watch.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
The Commanders make it to the Super Bowl? Bill's Mafia
in New Orleans. Absolutely, it's going to be a bummer.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
They won't be down there.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Yes, I don't care about Dan Snyder. I'm I'm glad
that he's twisted up and tormented somewhere on his two
hundred million dollar yacht. I mean, would I enjoy it
only if I got to see him in pain? If
you had Dan Cam and he's there on his yacht
and he's watching throwing the remote at the TV, that'd
(02:18):
be good. But an ESPN dot com, I think Don
Van Nada had a really really deep dive on the
former Washington owner and how miserable he is. Oh, boo hoo,
so miserable. I'm lying here my six hundred million billion
dollar yacht bed that I have here, it's stuffed with billions.
(02:41):
Boo hoo. We'll do fill in the blank here coming up.
Lewis Riddick from the Mothership will stop by as well.
The early betting line with DraftKings Chiefs favored by one
and a half over under is forty nine and a half,
and the odds to win the Super Bowl MVP it's
Patrick Mahomes followed by Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts. We
(03:03):
talked to Booger McFarlane on Friday and I said, what's
the key, Buffalo, what's their key? What's the commander's key?
And the one thing that I, you know, I kept
thinking back, is yeah, your job is to stop Saquon Barkley.
And they did a pretty good job. But it's almost like, hey,
(03:23):
we got that guy out four times, but the fifth
time he hit a grand slam. So he's won for five,
but he had a grand slam. That's kind of what
Saquon Barkley has done. He'll go one for five, but
that one is sixty and those I mean, you just
start the game and there he goes. But I mean
he didn't have an incredible amount of yards, but he
(03:47):
did score touchdowns. Jalen Hurts really was That's as good
a game as he's had, probably since the Super Bowl.
And then you get that defense is really I mean,
it's just a That's why I said probably since week
they're the best team in football because of the offensive
and defensive line. It's you know, a far as trying
to beat Kansas City. Having the opportunity with the ball
(04:09):
in your hands three and a half minutes to go,
you're down three with three timeouts. That's what you want.
I got Josh Allen. If you said, hey, this is
what is going to come down to, I'm going to
say Buffalo's going to win. Keep him off the field,
go down there, score a touchdown, you go to the
super Bowl. That's what you want as an MVP. You
(04:32):
want that that opportunity. I want the ball in my hands.
Well we know how that worked out. Mahomes once again
proved that he is the ultimate eracer when you think
of that guy's got the ball in his hands, game
on the line, Tom Brady, Joe Montana, John Elway. You know,
there's a few of those players on a short list there.
(04:54):
But he has twelve postseason games and he's had twelve
career postseason trailing by one possession. In those twelve career
postseason drives trailing by one possession, he has engineered six
go ahead touchdowns, five game tying field goals, and just
one punt. So it's not just clutch that's historic and
(05:18):
the ability to rise above the chaos do the right
thing at the right time. He doesn't get the style
points that he once did, but he's not trying. That's
not important. He truly understands if we win, then he wins,
and he is trying to get into Michael Jordan category
(05:38):
of three peating. I'm sure Tom Brady's in the back
of his mind of I can get there, but to
go three peat now, all of a sudden, that's just different.
It's rarefied air. I mean, this is once you want
that opportunity to do something nobody else has done, and
getting that opportunity in the Super Bowl. It's not about hey,
(06:03):
did you see how many touchdown passes or what I mean?
He was more dangerous as a runner yesterday, again picking
the right place at the right time and doing the
right thing and not trying to do more. Josh Allen
tried to do more yesterday, and during the regular season
(06:24):
he didn't. It was if we win, then I win.
And James Cook I thought they were going to ride
him and that was going to be the difference. But
I go back to what I saw with Derek Henring.
You know, you used him in the third quarter, you
went all the way down for a touchdown, and then
didn't use him after that. James Cook had what thirteen carries?
(06:46):
I need the ball. I just wanted. I wanted him
to shoulder a little more of the responsibility. Now, maybe
he was banged up, but he averaged six yards per
care so that was a little bit surprising. All right,
there's a piece of sound I want. Here is the
fourth down, fourth quarter call as the Chiefs stop the
(07:07):
Bills quorbit motion.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Now peels back to the left.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
He's for chasing Tosh Tallen.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
He throws it up for grabs and the passes in
cop played in com play off the arm of the
would be receiver Dalton Kinkaid. Jarn Sau City has the
second fourth down stop in this half.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
That was the ninety six point five The fan the
Chiefs Radio Network Patrick Mahomes after the game talked about
all of his postseason victories.
Speaker 7 (07:36):
Patrick's seventeen postseason win now second olds back.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
I didn't know history.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Just how does that feel at the story?
Speaker 8 (07:42):
Yeah, it's I mean, it's obviously really cool. That's your
goal is to win in the postseason, not him blessed
being a lot of great football teams with a lot
of great coaches. Is in a great organization, and I
just try to maximize every moment because you never know
what's gonna be your last one. I know I'm a
long way from Tom, so I'll trying to do whatever
I can to get close.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
To that you could have had this last year or
the year before. Where he's asked this question, it's just
it's on repeat and he'll probably be saying the same
thing next year. Seaton's back on the road with Mako

Speaker 9 (08:41):
Good morning, mister Patrick. Hope and the boys had a
great weekend. Hey, let me tell you if Dylan's outfit
is any indicative how the week's going to go. We
are in for an epic week of Dylan. Let me
tell you a beautiful o't thing he's got going on.
Lulo's pan anyway, little many of many best of the
week and the Washington Commanders. Hey you know somewhere James
(09:04):
in Virginia. I hope you're smiling, brother. That was an
incredible year. How many times do we go from number
two overall draft pick I don't know, Heisman bus maybe
to one win shot of the super Bowl. You know,
I hate saying, you know it's a moral victory or whatever,
but the whole season played with house money and they
almost hate it. Awesome, great to see. Best of the weekend.
(09:27):
I got to give it up to say Kwon Barkley.
You know, another one where it's like, did anybody see
this coming? You know, maybe you know the Philly Faithful
thought coming, but nobody else. Did you know he leaves
New York? You know, was it a bus or whatever
to him to now be playing for the Super Bowl
on his birthday of all days. I mean, you can't
(09:48):
script it better than that. And you know what, no
worse to the weekend. I said it worse to Tyler.
But you know what, we had rain out here this weekend.
Everybody was in the streets of LA like Tim Robbins
at the end, Shaw take redemption. It was beautiful this
weekend to get some rain out here. Loved it. You
boys have a great week.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yeah, I just worry about the mud slides, but yeah,
glad they got some rain in Los Angeles. Zach and Knoxville.
Hey Zach, what's on your mind?
Speaker 10 (10:18):
Hey DP, thanks for taking my call. Just the best
and worst of the weekend. As guys said, it was
the weekend of moral victories.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
For me.
Speaker 10 (10:27):
My Huskies lost to the Xavier fighting Chili Spaghettis, but
Aiden Mahaney with fourteen and three and three off the
bench is going to be my best of the weekend.
And my worst of the weekend is Marshawn Lattimore and
how much effort he put in after the whistle. If
he would just put in a little more effort during
(10:47):
the play, he might have been able to stop A. J.
Brown a couple of times.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Fighting is silly in football. He got helmets on. It's
just silly. You see that? And you know, guys get
caught up in oh would you say? And then you
know Travis Kelcey talks some trash and like, I get
the trash talking, I don't get the physical altercation or
the potential for that. Jeff in La, Hi, Jeff, what's
(11:14):
on your mind?
Speaker 9 (11:16):
Hey?
Speaker 7 (11:16):
Morning? That first time on Time five seven, one sixty.
So I'm gonna start off with my worst of the weekend
is I have the Commanders in the playoff pool. I
was hoping for a sender on the story that didn't happen.
But best of the weekend is my wife went into labors.
So I'm Curry in the delivery room with my wife
(11:37):
waiting for all store.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Oh so when's the baby do.
Speaker 7 (11:43):
Probably in the next couple of hours.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Okay, how's mom feeling?
Speaker 7 (11:47):
She's good, she's actually on peak. I listening to you
while I'm in the bathroom.

to do his best. He's going to be there for
you words of encouragement. But if you do need to
yell at him, you have my permission and good luck. Okay,
good luck, Jeff, Thank you.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Yeah, I've been there four times. You're never quite sure
what the script is. Yeah. Hey, oh okay, I won't
say anything. Hey, would you like some some sugar cubes
or whatever? The ice chips there?
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Get away from me?
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Uh you did this to me?
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Boy.
Speaker 11 (12:37):
You know what nobody prepares you for is the first
night you sleep in the hospital after you and your
wife have a child.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
The man, the gentleman.
Speaker 11 (12:45):
Now, I'm not complaining because my wife did ninety nine
percent of the work. They put you in that folding
chair with the wooden arms that was built in nineteen
seventy two. It's the least comfortable night of your entire
life physically, if you can bring a couple of pillows
or maybe a temp you know, like some type of
you know, pad or something like that.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
I don't know if this is a good take by you.
Speaker 11 (13:07):
Oh it is well, I believe me. That's the only downside. Yeah,
it's not a physically.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
I don't think this go over well with the women, lad, Yeah,
not at all. I love someone has to speak up
for I think we do this privately. I don't know
if you're gonna someone had It had to be said.
It had to be said, yes, Todd.
Speaker 12 (13:26):
And then you're in a situation where it could be
too late for the epidural. That was one of the
situations we were in. You have a certain window.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Wait, you were getting an epidural. I should have.
Speaker 12 (13:33):
Gotten one because I don't handle those situations very well.
But once you get past a certain window, you gotta
do it natural. No matter how much pain you're in.
They can't give it to you because it's dangerous.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Yeah I had one of those two.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Hey, I don't want an epidural, all right, I need
an epidural. It's too late. And then you're like, there's
nothing I can I can bribe the doctor. I can't
do anything. Yes, mart, Uh, this is advice for all
the guys. Don't eat low Maine. Then go back up
to the delivery room.
Speaker 11 (14:00):
Very specific.
Speaker 2 (14:01):

More phone calls coming up, we'll play fill in the blank,

Lewis Riddick and the Mothership, the ESPN, NFL College Football analyst,
former NFL safety. I got an idea for the NFC
AFC Title Game. Now this is strictly for your football
audience that every other year you'll have NFC Title Game Sunday,
(16:40):
AFC Title Game Saturday the following year. Then you change
it up AFC Sunday NFC because this is about us.
I don't know about you on your Saturday, Lewis, but
I had nothing going on and I was joning for something.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Yeah. Man, it's a lot to consume one day. It'd
be nice. It would be nice to kind of break
it up a little bit and kind of have to
be standalone. I'm sure the look I mean, the NFL
is always interested in driving network viewership right, trying to
get the numbers as big as possible. I don't know
if the numbers have come out for the Kansas City
Chiefs game, but I had heard that they were gonna
be like monstrous, and with the way that game went
(17:17):
down with the wire, there's no question that it probably was.
But yeah, I'd be okay with that, Dan, I'd be
okay with that stretch it out as long as possible.
I'm already sick about the fact that the season's almost over.
I know, well, you know, I'm just going, what are
we gonna do? We do that?
Speaker 11 (17:33):
I know.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
You'd probably be okay with having the ball down three
three and a half minutes to go, three timeouts, And
if you're a Buffalo bill fan with Josh Allen, right,
that's not asking much of an MVP candidate. So what
where did they go wrong?
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Oh? Well, I'll tell you what if I'm the Dalton
Kinkaid makes that catch, you know, the catch at the
end of the game where Josh makes it, absolutely fantastic play.
As far as the blitz that the Spags broke brings
from the Boundary with Trent McDuffie and Josh sees it
(18:16):
and lost that ball up there, and Dalton's not able
to bring that ball in. You know, we could be
having a totally different conversation here today. It's amazing that
he was able to get that ball off. It's amazing
that it was right in the hands of Kincaid. It's
almost like you feel bad for Kinkaid to say, well,
you feel bad for Mark Andrews a week ago, because
we may be talking about a totally different conversation. Rewind
(18:39):
it back to the beginning of the fourth quarter with
the spot of the ball and the fourth down play
with Josh where just from watching it on TV at first,
I said them sitting there thinking, oh man, they've got it.
They've got it. They're about to seize the control of
this football game. They're already up won, they're unplused territory.
Maybe the game's gonna change, you know, maybe that's it.
Maybe they tried they they solidify the game there. But
(19:01):
I think what it shows you is like there's a
bunch of different inflection points in that football game that
if you're the opposing team and you're in that Narrowhead
stadium and you're going up against Patrick Mahomes, if you
don't seize them, if you don't definitively seize them. Then
the combination of Patrick and Andy's play calling, which was
nothing short of just you know, teach tape worthy down
(19:24):
the stretch, He's gonna They're gonna make you pay. And
that's why this team is now playing for its third
straight title, which is just amazing.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
There's a moment when I see Josh Allen on that
fourth down play. Now you play defensive back, Yeah, felt
like that defensive back was looking in the backfield and
I thought, is he coming? Like I didn't I don't
know enough about that position, but I don't know if
(19:53):
you normally look in the backfield when you're out there
kind of on an island, you know, man man and coverage.
It felt like he was looking and that made me think,
oh my gosh, is he coming? And you know, you
got to disguise it that you're just doing everything. This
is the way I always do it. And it just
(20:13):
like it dawned on me for a second, like do
you normally look at the quarterback if you're just playing
man coverage?
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Yeah? You know what, sometimes you do. Sometimes you're trying
to get you know, you're you're looking at your guy,
you're taking a peek at the quarterback, you're taking a peak,
you know, at the line of scrimmage. You're you're trying
to get You're just kind of like taking it all in.
Sometimes you want to you you kind of get you
fall into like a little bit of a you know,
you want to get the rhythm of the quarterback center exchange,
(20:42):
so you know when the ball's about to be snapped.
And then ultimately, yeah, your eyes go back to your
coverage responsibility. And sometimes quarterbacks can you know, you're right,
quarterbacks can kind of pick up on the fact that, hey,
you're you're spending too much time looking at me. I
think something is up here. So it's a kind of
a cat and mouse game, it really is. And and look,
Trent's one of the very best in the in the league.
(21:03):
Ian McDuffie's just one of one of the very best
in the league. And uh and even with all that,
even with all that being said, first of all, I
don't know how. I don't know how Josh saw Dalton
in the first place, despite the fact I guess he's
six ' five and you know, he's he's a freak
of nature. Himself and he's able to off his back
foot and launch that thing the.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Way I think Spot I didn't know.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
You know what what was amazing is that the Chiefs
just dropped him. They dropped Dalton in coverage. They had
a total coverage bust in the back end, and they
had done that a couple of different times during the game.
They let I'll tak about Buffalo in many ways. As
much as I love the Chiefs and respect everything that
they have accomplished, in many ways, Buffalo is gonna wasch
that tape and They're gonna go, oh my goodness. We
(21:49):
had so many opportunities that we just didn't capitalize them.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
I was rooting for the referees yesterday, I went rooting
for Buffalo or Kansas City. I wanted. I wanted it
to be a controversy free game.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Me too.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Then you have the spot they worthy play. It just
feeds into that narrative of Kansas City gets the call.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Yep, it does, and you hate that. You hate it
because everything on your right, everything on my Twitter feed,
when I'm sitting there looking at it and just typing
some stuff, turning the game, everything is about yeah but
the refs. Yeah, but the refs. Yeah, but the you
know what, and that was that was like the same
the same thing was happening, Like honestly in the first
game in the in the a Philly in the Philly
(22:37):
in Washington game, it's it's always about about why Washington
ultimately ultimately lost that game, and like that, that has
become like an easy go to thing now for people,
and I understand that there are some things that look
at it's no different than any other sport where sometimes
superstars get preferential treatment, superstars get calls that you just
(22:57):
don't necessarily see, uh other teams or other players getting calls.
But it shouldn't be the dominating like just narrative surrounding
a football team like Kansas City when they have earned
it on the field, they've earned the Super Bowls that
they've won, they earned the right think they lost one
game this year when everyone in our business, every single one,
(23:21):
every single week from about the halfway point on, was
trying to find ways to say why this football team
would not get back to New Orleans. Yeah, they found
the way every single week. And now quite honestly, they're
playing at their up, they're they're they're peaking at the
right time, and that's very dangerous for Philadelphia.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Yeah, but if you're going back to the Super Bowl
against Philadelphia, that was a controversial call late in the
game that went the Chiefs way on the past interference.
So true, I mean, but.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
What who's that? Who is that against against?
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Was that against Bradbury?
Speaker 4 (23:55):
James Bradberry, But he said himself that yeah, he did,
he grabbed them. It is what I mean see in that.
I don't I don't. I don't know, Dan, I don't
know how controversial that call was. That that was a
clear if that was it, if that was any other
team other than Kansas City, it's like, yeah, that that's
passoror Ferris, that's defensive holding. I mean, you can't do it.
(24:17):
But because it's Kansas City, and because there have been
plays that that do spark a lot of debate about
whether or not referees are giving them some calls that
they don't necessarily deserve, it's going to get amplified. But yeah,
I see your point. I see your point.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
When did it start to go wrong for the Commanders?
Speaker 4 (24:37):
Oh boy, Well, a number well, there's a number of
different things. The explosive play component right out of the Gates.
The first play kind of was a precursor of what
you saw was going to happen in this football game
as far as them, they're inability to contain the run game,
(24:59):
to contain the explosive play component. And then if you
take it back to the first drive for Washington where
they had what was that? What was that like an
eighteen play drive they eat up like eight to nine
minutes and you still only get three that you knew,
you knew every drive had to end up in six
it had to and when they weren't able to do that,
I mean, that's that's forecasting way way way ahead of
(25:21):
time and really trying to say that you know something
that that really you don't. You don't know if it's
gonna be that's gonna be the case all game long.
But it just seems so difficult.
Speaker 9 (25:30):
You know.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
I talked about this earlier in the day on Sports
Center about that, like Vick was gonna Fangio, the defensive coordinator,
was gonna make it hard for Jayden. He was gonna
make them have to drive eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve plays.
He was gonna play a lot more too high and
go do you have the patience to drive this ball
and be perfect for eight, nine, ten, twelve, fifteen plays
(25:50):
to score against our defense. I'm gonna bet that you don't.
I'm not gonna make the same mistake I made when
we came to Washington. We played a lot of single
high and you earned us on the outside one on
one with big plays not letting you do it. And
he didn't let him do it. He simply didn't let
him do it. And then that offensive line in the
running game for Philly, It's just that that's gonna be
(26:14):
the thing if you're Kansas City now moving forward. Cansey
better have an answer for the big boy football that
Philly's gonna try and play. And they better hope and
they better make sure that Jalen doesn't get hot like
it looked like he's starting to come on a little bit.
Speaker 9 (26:29):
You know.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
It was nice to see him hit aj Brown, was
nice to see Davonte make some plays because if they
get that part going to man, it's gonna be it's
gonna be just like it was the last time these
two met down in Arizona.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
I like in Saquon Barkley to Barry Sanders from the
standpoint of one yard minus two four yards sixty six.
That's what Barry used to do. Now, different types of runners,
but the end result is similar.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Yeah, And you know what's cool about that is if
you just kind of broaden that out from a bigger picture,
looking at it from a bigger picture. That's why I
wasn't concerned, or really haven't been concerned about Philadelphia's inability
to create explosives in the passing game, which many people
thought was going to be something that would hold them
(27:21):
back from being able to win a title or even
get to the Super Bowl. I'm saying, well, look, Saquon
is producing explosive plays at a historic rate like no
running back has ever been able to do this. Besides
who you're talking about, guys like Barry Sanders, and Barry
just didn't have the team around him that obviously Saquan does.
But that that point right there is the single greatest
(27:43):
reason why this team is still as dangerous as it is.
You know, on top of the fact that they have
maybe the best collection of one through fifty three arguably
in the NFL. But this guy can take a game
and absolutely flip it on its head in a way
that most coaches and most front office people think has
to come in the passing game because no one's ever
(28:04):
done it like that, No team has never reached the
Super Bowl doing it like that, And this guy does
it on the regular. You come to expect it now,
which is just freakish. And he's a one of a
kind tout. Look when Dave get him and drafted him
in New York and got killed for it, he said,
this is a gold jacket player. And obviously he wasn't
(28:24):
able to build up the infrastructure around him to help
him like Philly has. But he was right. He was
dead right on the value.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Yeah, when he goes in as a Philadelphia Eagle, then he'll.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
Be Unfortunately, Dave and John Maren, all of them are
gonna be sitting there going, oh my god. And Joe
Shay may too in the end.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Okay, but does this change the philosophy going into this
draft that now all of a sudden, our running backs
back in vogue, that like Ashton Genty, is he a
top ten pick now? Because we're looking at the kind
of comeback of the running back.
Speaker 4 (28:59):
You know, it's gonna be very subjective. There's always gonna
be people. They're gonna be a guy on our desk
to come draft night by the name of mel Kiper,
who still won't believe that you don't have that you
have to draft a running back in the top ten
or in the first round unless he is a Barry
Sanders s type of talent, Abijon robins an s type
of talent. But I think what it is showing you,
(29:21):
what Saquan is making people think about, is this, if
you have someone well, you know what, let's just compare
him to Aston genty in particular, because I had the
privilege of being able to call that game down the
Fiesta Bow. He has the same characteristics, meaning body blow,
body blow, four yards, one yard, four yards, five yards,
(29:42):
seventy I'm out the gate and he's got It'll be
interesting to see what Ashton runs. He looks like, he
plays like a guy who has four to three speed
at two hundred and twenty pounds and is basically nothing
but one giant muscle. So yeah, I think that that
conversation within scouting departments and in draft rooms is going
to be, Hey, look, if there's a guy who we
(30:05):
think in a league that puts a premium on explosive plays,
can make explosive plays for us out of the backfield.
Hell yeah, we're gonna draft them. It's exactly what Jamir
Gibbs does for Detroit and what Brad Holmes got killed
four drafted him in the first round. Yeah, I think
I think Dan that whole conversation around never draft running
(30:25):
backs in the top fifteen or in the first round overall.
I think that that's over with.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
He's Lewis.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
I know there are gms right now who believe this.
This is one of the best running back drafts that
have been around that have come along in a while
this year.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Lewis Riddick of the Mothership NFL College Football analyst coaching hires.
If I wanted to hide the fact that I hired
a coach, I'd probably announce that on a Friday night
that I had hired my coach, and you know, a
busy weekend as well. And the Dallas Cowboys somehow did
(31:00):
the Dallas Cowboys, who love attention, they love spotlight shiny things,
notice me, And then all of a sudden, it's oh,
by the way, oh yeah, forgot to tell you we
hired Brian Schottenheimer as the head coach. What are they doing.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
What Jerry does?
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Okay, but could this be the right higher I mean,
nobody else was interviewing Brian Schottenheimer.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
It could, It could. And you know what, if you
wanted to play Devil's advocate, you could say, well, with
the fact that there are seven, eight nine openings every
single year, and a lot of times, these teams are
hiring the people who everyone the consensus is these are
the next hot up and comers.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
They're not.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
That's not the right way to do it either.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
No, So I mean, why not hire Dion? Why not
if you love attention? I mean, what's on the downside,
you're well for thirty.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
I think there's I think there's like and I'm not
the first person to say this, but I have actually
seen this in real life and I've seen how this works.
You know, there's winning, and then there's winning the way
you want to win. Like, sometimes winning isn't good enough
for people. It's well now, but I'm not having fun
because I'm not involved. I'm not the guy. I want
to do it when I'm the guy, when I get
(32:15):
the credit, when I can be the one who's in
the you know, at the you know, at the at
the head of the pack, and I'm the one who
was the voice of the organization. Jerry already showed that
he didn't like that back in the nineties when they
were steamrolling everybody, and I played against those teams. Those
teams were unstoppable. They simply were unstoppable. And he wound
(32:36):
up getting rid of the guy, get rid of a
Hall of Fame coach in Jimmy Johnson.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
But you're he's a great business man. You can't run
a business.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
Then there are so many guys, every single guy, quite honestly,
buying large. Not every guy, but most of the owners
buying large in the NFL are a great business. Yeah,
you don't buy football teams because you're not smart as
far as how to make money. A whole lot of them, though,
are terrible when it comes to understanding what it takes
(33:08):
to win in the game of football. Hell I remember
at one time having an owner say to me, quote,
it's football, how hard can it be? And that's the
kind of arrogance that a lot of those guys have
when it comes to look at this game, it's just
a bunch of guys who are running around pads, you know, hit.
(33:29):
Just give me the best players, give me the give
me the coach that everyone says the greatest and throw
the football, score some touchdowns, keep them healthy. If they're not,
we'll get someone else and just keep it going. Sometimes
people look at it like that. They don't. They don't.
They don't think it deserves the same that it has
the same kind of nuance, or deserves the same kind
(33:50):
of attention, or requires the same kind of mental horsepower
that it requires to run Microsoft, or or or Apple,
or you know, be a company that's that's a Fortune
five hundred company that makes billions of dollars a year.
They don't think, they don't think it's that intricate. But
those are usually the ones who wind up on the
outside looking in, looking for coaches every single year, wondering
(34:13):
why damn why can't I get there? Why can't I
be in the Super Bowl where now all the eyes
are on me? Because they want to do it their way.
That's why.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Good to talk to you. Thanks for joining us. See
you in New Orleans. Lewis Riddick, the Mother Shoe former
safety and worked with the Eagles and Washington director of
player personnel. Take a break. We have our best and
worst of the weekend phone calls coming up, and we'll
play Fill in the Blank.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Right after this, be sure to catch the live edition
of The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern
six am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAPP.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
More phone calls coming up. It's let's see you have
best and worst of the weekend. Also filling the Blank.
America loves filling the Blank. I've got it right here.
We're going to bring phill in the Blank to New Orleans.
It's such a great game. And by the way, Dylan
is sitting in for a seat and seatings on the
road with the French Kid. So Dylan this week is
(35:12):
a seat filler. But unlike seat fillers at the Academy Ward, no, no,
you get to you get to speak. I know what
you're saying. I just didn't want an empty seat. Although
some have suggested it is an empty seat with you
sitting in it, and I said, that's not fair. That
isn't fair. Dylan. Dylan is very valuable. He does the
(35:33):
graphics on the show and he also is part of
the Gambling podcast.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
I think Anthony took over for graphics today. You may
have already mastered it better than I have.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
So Anthony is an intern and I said to the
big german, could Anthony figure this out? Because I thought
it might take him a few days. And I go
back there and I see it. He's it right out
of college. I go, are you okay, Goes? Oh, yeah,
like not a problem at all. Seaton would be hard
to replace. Apparently you wouldn't be hard to replace. Yes,
(36:06):
it was. You thought this was your big coming out, partysed. Yes,
all right, let's do fill in the blank. I will
give you a sentence and then you fill in the blank.
It's that simple. The Washington commanders are blank. Todd no rookies.
Speaker 12 (36:24):
They are no rookies. They look like they've been there before.
Jayden Daniels maybe have been a rookie. But they are
playing and we'll continue to play like Dylan.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
The commanders are blank hopeful, okay, Marvin trending up? Okay,
Pauline refreshing. I want to put a tab on that.
Though they still need new uniforms, I don't know they
have some that I really like, some I really like.
Speaker 11 (36:54):
They would have probably had two less turnovers. The uniforms
too fewer.
Speaker 8 (37:01):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
The Washington Commanders are for real. Jalen Hurts is blank
tod sneaky dangerous.
Speaker 12 (37:09):
You gotta say a fast and making one.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Word, Okay, snaky dangerous, Dylan undeserving of all the criticism.
Speaker 11 (37:16):
Oh, Marvin, Jalen Hurts is enough, Paul, Mine was close
to Marvin. I'm gonna go tough to beat.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
I'll say Jalen Hurts is good. Saquon Barkley is Blankton
like that Eagles.
Speaker 12 (37:33):
Movie with the Mark Wahlberg while black. I'm gonna go invincible, convincible.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
Dylan hooking up the running back position, cookating up the
running okay, kind of wordy, Marvin. Saquon Barkley is blank
bonds ish Oh, okay.
Speaker 11 (37:54):
Paul Hall of Famey. If you had asked me a
year ago, is Saquon Barkley going the Hall of Fame?
We're going to be out of football in three years,
I would have said out of football.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
Saquon Barkley is a giant.
Speaker 14 (38:07):
Oh yeah, Todd.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
The Bills lost because of bag last week or coaching.
Give the blank The Bills.
Speaker 12 (38:19):
Lost because of blank bag slast weeker coaching, Dylan.
Speaker 14 (38:26):
Uh, the chip in the football not working it properly, okay, Marvin,
push push fail, Paulie. The Bills lost because of the Bills.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
The Bills lost because of Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes is blank.
Speaker 12 (38:49):
Todd capitalizing, always capitalized on every little mistake or something
doesn't go right by the other team.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
Dylan winning, winning, Marvin Jordan Esque Paully. Patrick Mahomes is
blank ahead f schedule. Patrick Mahomes is the great eraser.
Speaker 5 (39:10):
The tush push play is blank Todd as nice, nice,
Dylan bogus, Marvin effective, Paully in its final weeks.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
Ooh, you think it changes in the offseason.
Speaker 11 (39:32):
I do. Rarely does the NFL do anything to help
the defense. But this tush push play really only serves
one team, and the fans collectively don't like it. Here's
the thing. In two thousand and five, for whatever reason,
the NFL allowed lineman to push the ball carrier. It
had been illegal for over fifty years. There still is
(39:53):
a rule that you cannot pull the ball carrier. For
whatever reason, two thousand and five, the NFL opened the
door to push it. Nobody did it for years. If
you remember, it was that same season in two thousand
and five that the bush push happened in the USC,
Notre Dame being which was illegal, not called the NFL
could easily clear this up.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
The tush push is unstoppable. Although I had a problem.
I have a problem with a hard count. They allowed
the hard count. The hard count is to draw you
off sides. So the Eagles were using a hard count
and then the defense would jump off sides. They're doing
what the hard count is meant to do at the end.
(40:34):
So when they said I didn't know they could award
a touchdown, I was. I kept thinking, it can't get
any closer to the end zone, Like it's gonna be
like four centimeters. Hey, if you jump off sides, it's
going to be another four centimeters. And then they said, hey,
if you do it one more time, we're going to
get them a touchdown. I thought, wow, what was the
(40:54):
expression the referee said of what they were doing?
Speaker 12 (40:58):
Yes time he said about that type of behavior he's there.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
Now, wasn't it palpable or something? He had a big
word attached to that. I didn't think it was just hey,
if you continue that kind of behavior. I thought that
there was a little there was like an sat word
in there, well, an sat word for me, maybe not
for you guys. Do we have that exchange there? What
(41:23):
that call?
Speaker 4 (41:24):
Was.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
We'll get some of our best people on that final
hour on the way, more phone calls as well. Minister
of Humor, get to administer some humor today, Fritzy Wow,
Dylan is here. Marvin Paulie Yours truly final hour on
the Monday straight Ahead.
