Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio Our one on this Thursday.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Ready to go football tonight as we start Week three,
this is kind of clean up your mess? Are you
start going south in a hurry? And for the Miami Dolphins,
you better clean up your mess tonight on the road.
You're a twelve and a half point underdog. And when
you think about Week three of the NFL season, it
feels like a turning point for some of these teams
(00:28):
because if you started out oh and two, and how
did you start out oh and two? Then all of
a sudden we start to look at a pattern here
and the Dolphins and Mike McDaniel on the hot seat,
and I don't think anybody's expecting them to beat Buffalo,
but can you have a quality loss here? I still
think that the big stretch run here. They host the Jets,
They're at the Panthers, host the Chargers, at the Browns
(00:51):
at Atlanta. You're going to get a really good idea
over those next six weeks just how good or bad
Miami is. Then you'll have more chatter about Tyreek Hill
and of course with Mike McDaniel, but the big game
coming up tonight against the Buffalo Bills, and here they
are zero to two and staring down a heavyweight in Buffalo,
(01:13):
battling maybe dysfunction. They it seem like they broke the code.
Two years ago, they had cracked the code. They had
one of the more innovative offenses. To a tongue of Iolo,
was playing Great Wattle Tyreek Hill. They're scoring, they're having fun.
Mike McDaniel quirky but winning. That's the difference. You can
(01:35):
be quirky and winning and we're fine with it. It's
when you're quirky and you're not winning, or all of
a sudden, we're like.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
What's wrong with that guy? I like him. I think
he's entertaining.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
I don't know if he's a head coach, but I
do think he's got one of those bright, offensive minds.
And I think sometimes when you put those guys in
front of the media, they can do their job. But
part of the job of being a head coach is
being a CEO, and some guys can and some guys
cannot do it. Now, Belichick got away with it because
(02:06):
he had success before social media. Then all of a sudden,
it's like, ah, right, he's gruff. That's who he is.
Greg Popovich before social media, you know, they could be
really tough on the media. Bob Knight, you could be
tough on the media, but you're winning. Bill Parcells, pat
Riley tough on the media, but you're winning. It's when
you don't. And I'm not saying Mike McDaniel is tough
(02:28):
on the media. You know you got Brian Kelly at LSU.
All right, if you're winning, you can be tough on
the media, Urban Meyer, Nick Saban, but you gotta win.
And Mike McDaniel you can be quirky, but you better win.
And that's been the problem. You start to look at
where did it go wrong here? I mean, TUA has
(02:49):
been healthy, Er feels like the same team that they've had.
It's just they don't feel threatening. And then you have
that stretch where you host the Jets at the Panthers,
host the Chargers at the Browns at Atlanta. You can
beat the Jets, you can beat the Panthers. You're going
to be hosting the Chargers coming cross country, You'll be
(03:09):
at the Browns and you're at Atlanta. They're all winnable games.
The question is can you win three out of five?
Can you win four out of five? But if there's
a blowout tonight, a standalone game, that's when everybody's going
to be circling. That's what happens standalone games. Now, everybody
(03:31):
has a referendum on the Miami Dolphins. Now, if Buffalo struggles,
that defense has holes in it. So there is room
for opportunity for the Miami Dolphins. But Buffalo is a
twelve and a half point underdog. Stat of the Day

Speaker 3 (04:50):
Say good morning.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
If you're watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app.
And we say good morning to our radio affiliates around
the country. Seaton, could you provide a poll question? And
for the first hour this Thursday program, Todd is here,
Seaton's here, Marv Pauliers truly into Brg's.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
I kind of feel like we have to see non
yips before we see yips.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Wait, what do you mean?
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Like, how can you tell somebody has the yips if
you haven't really watched them play a ton.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Without the yips? Well, I think the yips it's like golf.
You can tell when somebody has the yips. I don't
know if you have to see them prior to the
yips when they were yip list.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
That's what I'm saying, Like if I went out onto
the golf course with you and the first two holes
I was spraying the ball all over the place, would
you be like, Ah, that's okay, you just got the yips.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
No, because the yips is putting. Now, I would be
able to see that. Just because you spray the ball
all over that that wouldn't tell me anything. But if
I see how you are over a putt, and you
know some of the best golfers in history have gone
through the yips, would you look at the definition of
yip in golf. Okay, yeah, you didn't think you'd be
(06:03):
asked that today, but we're talking yips.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
But yeah, you'll see golfers.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
I think Bernhard longer and then he went to a
longer putter because he was suffering from the yips.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Yes, Paul, a state of extreme nervousness that causes a
golfer to miss an easy putt. Now, it says Urban Dictionary.
This is branched out to be other sports, but the origin.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Is golf and putting. Well, Chuck Nablock had the yips,
Yes he did, right.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Steve Sachs, Macki Sasser, Steve Blass, wear something easy, some
routine and you can't do it, like Rick Ankiel couldn't
throw the bowl over over the plate even get to
the catcher.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
But if those are like the first couple of games
that he did that, you wouldn't just think, oh, that's
just the yips, don't worry.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
About I'm surprised. And once again last Chase Daniel about
this that I don't know if you're short arming it
like you're nervous and you don't follow through. And therefore,
because Chuck Nona Block couldn't throw it from second to first,
and Steve Sachs was a second baseman as well, Mackie
Saser was a catcher and he couldn't throw it back
to the pitcher.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
It is weird how difficult it is from to get
the ball to first from the second base position, not
second base, the bag, but you just get a grounder
at second and you have to flip it over to
first for some reason, it's a really weird, weirdly difficult
throw to make.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Well, you had who is the picture for the Red
Sox and the Cubs, and he couldn't throw it, you know,
from the pitcher's mount to first base. John Lester, Paul
think John Lester, he couldn't throw.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
It, he had to stop checking runner.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
I think he threw his glove one time with the
ball in it, like there you go, yes, yes, Ton.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
And sometimes something may be so easier, so routine, that
it gets in your head, like when there's a wide
open receiver for a short pass and he just totally
overthrows the guy because it's so easy, and somehow he's
made it complicated mentally.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
We'll talk to Chase about that.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I had not heard that with quarterbacks having to yip
now though short arm it, and maybe that's what he's
talking about, that you almost are you've not committed to
the throw that you don't want to throw it and
have it intercepted, so you short arm it therefore ends
up at somebody's feet. Here's another thing. You normally don't
have a player's only meeting after a blowout loss after
(08:21):
Week one, Like that's not a good sign. The Dolphins
they lost to Danny Dimes thirty three to eight, and
then they had a player's only meeting. I don't know
how many times you hold a player's only meeting after
you have a big win. But usually that's a celebration
(08:42):
out at a bar or club. But this is a
players only meeting after the blowout loss in Week one.
That's not a good sign. Twelve and a half point underdogs.
What could go wrong? What other poll questions are we
considering today? Seedon, We got one here from Marvin.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
What's the worst sign for a team of players only
meeting or a coach calling out the team's effort?
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Yeah, Ben Johnson did this.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Oh boy, this is bad when a coach calls out, hey,
we got to take care of the ball. Hey we
can't make the have that many penalties. But when you say, hey,
I'm questioning our effort, well, now that's something completely different.
Now I'm questioning your motivation. Now I'm questioning how badly
(09:26):
do you want to play? Are you playing hard enough?
And it wasn't a you know, a long speech that
Ben had. In fact, it was felt like a throwaway line. Pauline.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
Yeah, it was one line he said, our practice habits
are yet to reflect a championship caliber team and then
just stopped.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
That one just hangs in the air.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
It's like, oh, that's when if I'm in that press conference,
I'm like, I'm zeroed in.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
What do you mean by that? Coach?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
What role do you take in your team, maybe not
being ready to play or having, you know, that motivation
to play.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Yeah, I feel like it's a little early in said
coaching career to publicly call out your team like that.
Maybe you need to build a little bit of trust
amongst yourself and the roster first before you publicly humiliate
your entire team.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Well, it was a rough week in Chicago. They want
results right now, and maybe he's starting to It's hard
to say that you feel the heat after two games,
but maybe Ben Johnson starting to feel the heat. Not
that there's going to be a change there, but you know,
it feels like Caleb Williams give him this year. Let's
(10:36):
just see, you got a guy, Ben Johnson. Now, there's
no excuses. You got a guy who's offensive minded. Look
what he did to Jared Goff. Look what he did
for the Lions. He can do that for the Bears.
He wanted this job. You were gonna have to pay
a lot to get him. The Bears did and buy
all accounts. Everybody said they got the right guy, they
(10:57):
got the best guy available. I'm still in on this
situation because I got to. I have to give Caleb
Williams enough time I'm old enough to know that that's
the way they used to do it. John Elway, Peyton Manning,
Steve McNair, Troy mcrun down the list, Montana, they all
(11:17):
got time to develop. It's really rare. It was really rare.
Right out of the gate. You go in and you're
gonna light everybody up. It's not that easy. And as
much as we want to say, well, they're kind of
running the same offenses in college as they are in
the NFL, they are, but there's one small issue with that.
(11:37):
You're only open for a and now you're not open
in college. You're open, you're open, you're open, you're open,
you're open in the pros. It's just not that way.
And those guys getting off the edge. And I know
I've said this so many times, but it is it
will stay in my memory bank. Being on the sidelines
(11:59):
to watch how fast a game is. It's like when
I told you about seeing Usain Bolt at the London Olympics.
It's one thing to watch him on TV, but the
camera stays on him so it doesn't feel like, okay's fast.
But when you're trying to follow him while you're in
the stadium, you're like, oh my god, he's just like
(12:19):
there and he's gone. He made the turn in the
two hundred meters and I said to my wife, the
race is over, and she goes, it is. I go, no,
it is. But the race still had one hundred meters
to go. I didn't leave right after that. We didn't
leave early. Yeah, hey, we're leaving after one hundred meters
on be traffic. When you watch on the sidelines, how
(12:41):
quickly those edge rushers get in there, It is amazing
and how they process this and you're trying to teach
somebody how to play the position. And I don't know
if Caleb Williams was coached well his last year at USC.
I don't know if he allowed himself to be coached
well at USC, because it feels like he has the
(13:04):
same habits that he did there. Even cam Ward. I'm
watching him. He could turn out to be a great quarterback.
But they all try to make a play.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
You know.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Lamar Jackson, he can make a play, but he also
will step up in the pocket. Lamar Jackson's one of
the best passers in the NFL. The numbers prove that.
Now you may not like it esthetically the way he
throws the ball, but you step up in the pocket
when you need to, when you need to make a play,
then you can make a play. These guys try to
(13:35):
make a play all the time, and that's where you
have to learn. Man, I don't want to throw this
ball away. I don't want to fall down take a sack.
But all the greats have done that, all the greats,
Brady Manning, even Mahomes. Yeah, pulling.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
And some quarterbacks get a haul pass with their rookie
year based on the coaching staff not working out, like
Trevor Lawrence back in twenty twenty one under Ervin Meyer.
Urban Meyer got the blame for Trevor Lawrence having a
terrible rookie year, and the next year he threw twenty
five touchdowns and eight picks. It's still a work in
progress with Trevor, but it got better fast.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
And even Ben Johnson saying, you know, I like his optimism,
but what he says, we don't have. You know, we
want champion caliber, you know, team, we want effort.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
There.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Can't you say maybe wild card playoff caliber, team.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
Winning record, championship, championship blank?
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Okay, slow down there, coach, easy there? All right?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Does Arch Manning have the yips and if so, how
did he get them? How do you get rid of them?
We'll talk to Chase Daniel and he also has some
thoughts on Caleb Williams. Also he's in love with Dak
Prescott after two weeks, so we'll talk to Chase. He's
always great breaking things down your phone calls, settle on
a poll question. We're back after this Dan Patrick Show.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
Uh it's a great day football tonight, even though Dolphin's
a big underdog at twelve and a half points in Buffalo. Uh,
we were talking about the yips, and Todd said, I
think Chase Daniel broke down Arch Manning's game footage so far.
He's got Texas against Sam Houston coming out this weekend
for the Mothership, and the word yips came up. You
(16:05):
normally hear that with golfers or baseball players. Paully has
the definition. According to the Mayo Clinic.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
Yeah, the Mayo Clinic treats it as a real thing.
They said the yips are involuntary risk spasms that occur
when people are playing sports like golf and other sports.
But they said it was thought to be just a
performance anxiety and mental it could actually be a physicality
thing with focal dystonia, which causes neurological condition with specific
muscles and cause them to contract. They said. The way
(16:31):
to get around this is to use the muscles almost
in a reverse order sometimes to relieve yourself of it.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
I haven't heard quarterbacks having the yips, but I'm guessing
short arming the ball. But let me bring in Chase Daniel,
the ESPN NFL College football analyst. He'll be on the
call Sam Houston versus Texas that'll be on the ESPN
plus SEC Network height, Does arch Manning have the yips?
And if so, what are the yips?
Speaker 8 (16:55):
Chase? Yeah, yeah, I don't like to ever talk about
a quarterback having the yips, right Like in baseball, it
was like when second baseman couldn't throw to first base,
and it was always like something we don't talk about, right,
And I don't know if it's the yips. But what
I do know, and I've went back, is I'm obviously
(17:17):
calling the game and looked at every single snap this year,
and I even went back and looked at last year's
snaps when he played, and I would just say, instead
of the yips, I'll say mechanically, there are a lot
of things wrong with his throwing motion, from his feet
not being in the right spot, to his arm angle
not being in the right spot, to him grimacing when
(17:41):
he throws the football. And I think that's the biggest thing.
It's I don't think he's hurt, Dan, I really don't.
I just think his motion and his throwing angle of
his should I feel like everything's completely off. And I
say this is specifically his backfoot. Your backfoot is a thrower.
(18:03):
And I learned this from Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Tom
House who worked with that. He's like a renowned throwing coach.
He lives right down the road for me, I've worked
with him before. Your power comes from your feet up
as a thrower. So anytime your feet aren't planted in
the ground firmly, you don't get enough torque on the ball.
You don't get enough power on the ball. Last year,
(18:23):
when I watched arch Manning and all his snaps, his
back foot was down until his arm came through, which
is very mechanically correct, for lack of better words. This year,
almost every throw, including in clean pockets, that backfoot has
come up, so his ball dies on him a specifically
going to the right right. We saw this tenplay, really
(18:48):
really this twenty play incompletion stretch, and it was ten
in completions against UTEP. UTEP has one of the worst
passing defenses in all of college football to Texas played
last week. And so my thing is, I don't know
how you fix it, because you can get to the
mechanical stuff. You can get to this and that, So
(19:10):
I'm not gonna call it the yips, but mechanically he
looks completely different than he did last year.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
But his head coach is a former quarterback. How does
Steve Sarkisia not see this and maybe try to arrest it.
Speaker 8 (19:25):
Well, he has seen it, and I think Texas is
averaging over forty carries a game. They're not throwing the football,
and you know, you've watched Sarks offenses in the past
and they like to throw the football. They're not getting
Ryan Wingo, their number one receiver involved. That just they
don't look like an offense that I've seen Texas look
like before. And you know what I you know, the
(19:46):
Ohio State Texas game, right, everyone was like, oh, it's
obviously Artis and play ball, but Sarks, it's a manageable
game plan. So I thought they did really good stuff
on offense. And if you look at all three of
their games they played, then there's stuff open. Arch is
just missing it. He's not accurate.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Yeah, and I've seen that with you know, Caleb Williams
sometimes CJ Stroud so far this year, but let you
broke down. Caleb Williams helped me understand because it feels
like there's a whole lot more going on in Chicago
after two games than there should be.
Speaker 8 (20:19):
Yeah, and when it comes to Caleb, it's it's like
you get the really good and small spurts and then
some of the bad the rest of the game. Right,
you look at the first half on both of his
games that he's played this year, I thought he's played
pretty well mechanically and physically and just mentally. This past
game versus Troy, I know they got killed, but I
(20:40):
thought he played pretty well and I thought it was
one of his better halfs as a pro, just the
first half. But then it got out of hand and
they got the defensive issues. I think with Caleb it's
always been in his mind, like physically, we know the
talent is there, and he gets into a rhythm. At
times when he's not doing well, he tries to do
too much, and I think that's what Ben Jonson and
(21:00):
doesn't want them to do. We have an offense. We
got to get swift involved. We have three really good receivers,
we have two really good tight ends. We paid a
million bucks for the interior of that offensive line. They
have all the talent in the world. Sometimes Dad, it's
just between the ears for some of these guys, and
if they can understand how to play the game, and
it's new in this marriage with Ben Johnson, that's when
(21:21):
I think they'll really be good, but they got to
fix other issues. Like their defense right now is just.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
It's not good. But it feels like Caleb Williams.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Sometimes with players who have so much talent, they can't
do the mundane. And there are times as a quarterback
where you're like, all right, I'm gonna take a set.
I'm gonna throw this away. We're only gonna get five yards.
They want to make a play. It's almost like you
want to hit an eight run home run when you
(21:51):
go to the plate when you've been in a slump,
and it feels like Caleb wants to do so much
more because we expect him to do so much more.
Speaker 8 (21:58):
That's exactly right. And Drew Brees used to I backed
him up for five years. He used to say, Hey,
quarterbacks boring like quarterbacks for you. There's gonna be some
games where this team just played in too high safety look,
and we're just gonna have to throw hitch after hitch
after hitch, and then maybe we'll get an in route
and maybe we'll get a go ball down the sideline
when they're a man and I'll check to it. That's
(22:19):
sort of the weekly minutia of playing quarterback because you
don't know how any given defense is going to play
you on Sunday, and you could have an entire game plan.
We had it all the time in New Orleans. Was
the game plan was like throw the ball deep. You
know what, Champayne would call fifteen of his run action
shot plays down the field where it's a post and
you know what, Drew would check it down to the quarterback.
(22:39):
You know what, it would travel five yards in the air,
but that running back in mark ingram will go for
twenty and so the passing yards look good. I do
think that he's forcing stuff down the field. But playing quarterback,
it's gotta be boring sometimes in some of these games.
Not every game is one the same.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
He's Chase Daniel.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
He'll be on the Call of Texas Sam Houston on
ESPN plus SEC Network and a co host of the
Athletics Scoop City podcast, also the YouTube channel Must See TV,
the Chase Daniels Show. So he breaks down these quarterbacks.
You've fallen in love with Dak Prescott so far, even
though I look at his quarterback rating and it's not
(23:16):
a very good rating. It's twenty third, So what are
you seeing that we're not seeing.
Speaker 8 (23:22):
Well. I just think that look, when Dak is healthy
and the first time truly healthy since two years ago
where he finished second in the MVP voting, I think,
right now, right the rating doesn't tell the story when
I look at his film and I just look purely
at the quarterback position, forget about those around him, forget
about how the way he's operating, not only throwing the
(23:44):
football down the field, not only fitting in tight window
throws when needed, he's not forcing the football down the field.
He's controlling the line of scrimmage. He's getting the Cowboys
to in and out of the right place. Now, look,
they almost stole a game on the road in Philly,
verus a very good Philly team. We all know how
we feel about Philly. I thought he played excellent in
that game. Right, He's had some dropped interceptions, so it's
(24:04):
made it look better. But you look at the Giants
game and you look at the multiple two minute drives
that he's had to have like that, That's what the
NFL comes down to is can you make plays in
two minute drives? In two minute jills? And he had
three drives over the course of the fourth quarter and
overtime where he willed his team to victory. And I
know that Dak gets a lot of haters.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
I know.
Speaker 8 (24:24):
I'm not talking about the Cowboys team in general because
I don't think they're that good. I thought. I think offensively,
they're much better than they were last year or even
the year before now, and that comes from Brian Schottenheimer.
He's using a lot of pre snap motions, so he's
letting Dak Prescott see the answers to the test before
the test is given. Hey, give me a man's own read,
(24:45):
give me a slot formation, give me all this. I
just think the offense is attacking more. They actually have
something in that running back and Williams as well. And
when Dak has had a run game in the past,
he's been really well.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
You got the Chiefs and the Giants coming up this week.
Can Now I'm looking at the schedule. This is a
tough schedule. So, okay, you get by the Giants. Now
you got the Ravens, you got Jacksonville in Jacksonville, you
got the Lions, you got the Raiders, then you got
the Commanders, and then you got the Buffalo Bills. That's
(25:18):
pretty tough, seld That's pretty tough for a team that's
waiting to get its two best receivers back. And I
don't Kelsey hasn't stood out. Mahomes is trying. It feels
like he's trying to do something to up, you know,
get this team fired up. He's actually running and taking
on defensive backs and I don't know, help me understand
(25:39):
the chief handicap the Chiefs here first half of the season.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
What do you think?
Speaker 8 (25:43):
Yeah, looking too right, first time since twenty fourteen, and
I was actually on that team and we didn't end
up making the playoffs. The thing with the Chiefs this
year where I think they have struggled to get a
little bit better is obviously like they haven't had their
receivers right. They haven't had Rashi, Rice, Hollywood Brown or xafer'
Worthy in two years on the field. At the same time,
(26:06):
that is a completely different receiver corep than they've had
to do. Obviously, with Travis Kelce getting older, he's not
as much of a factor as he can.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
I thought.
Speaker 8 (26:15):
The offensive line really is still the issue, specifically left
guard in Kingsley Sumac. Yeah, he's just not playing at
a high level, especially against Philly, And when you look
at their offense. They wanted to be a throw it
down the field offense. That sort of escaped them from
their offensive game plans really the last two or three
years without Tyreek, they wanted to do that. This year,
(26:36):
they've had to make adjustments and change the way they've
played the game, and it's been Patrick Mahomes running the football.
I don't want him leading the league and rushing the
football for quarterbacks. That's not what he does, right, But
he's had to do that. And I look at their
schedule and I'm glad you brought that up. If they
can be three and three after the Ravens and Lions,
I think it's the Lions the last one. If they
(26:58):
can just get to three and three, and they did
this a couple years ago, or they get into a rhythm,
they find out who they are offensively, they get all
their guys back, I think that the Chiefs can still
be the Chiefs. Like I just think it's way too
early to write them off. And I know all these
people are oh and too. It's impossible to make like
a twelve percent chance to make the playoffs. I just
think like their defense is still really good, and if
(27:21):
they can get some wins against some quality opponents and
just get to five hundred through six games. Then I mean, look,
the one seed might be out the table they if
they do that right, but as long as they get
into the tournament, it's the Chiefs are the Chiefs for me.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
I know you've watched film of Baker Mayfield and it's
weird how people still aren't accepting a Baker Mayfield. He
had an incredible year last year. It's like, hey, you
got kicked to the curb by the Browns, you were
with Carolina, you were with the Rams, you know, you're
damaged goods, and then all of a sudden, hey you
(27:54):
got to compete with Kyle Trask in Tampa Bay. I
don't is it it maybe his persona that people have
a problem with or I don't know what it is,
but he's one of those guys that he knows how
to win and he's gonna play tough for you. What
(28:15):
did you see from him? Is there anything different this
year than last year?
Speaker 8 (28:18):
No? I love Baker again. I would say the last
two years he's played really well, like like actually really
really good. He's played if you just look at the stats,
and I don't love doing it all the time. He's
played like a top eight quarterback in the league, like
in every major category. And the thing I liked about
this year is both of their games came down to
(28:39):
the last play of the game, and he has willed
his team to win. He now he's got a strong arm,
he's got all that stuff. I do think the offense
in Tampa has really fit him well. Now he has
three complete studs to throw to a receiver, so that helps. Offensively,
they're explosive. He's also played without five starters too, so
(29:00):
just the way he's been playing. I think people like
to hate on Baker because of his demeanor and because
of the stuff he does. And you know, he can
be polarizing to some. I love it, like I want
my quarterback to have that. To him, I think he's
got to have swagger. I think he's got to have confidence.
And the thing is he's backed it up so when
you watch him, he's not really wild on the I mean, look,
(29:21):
look look at the two minute drive. And if you
actually this past weekend, if you actually break down the
two minute drive to win the game against the Texans,
which I think that defense is pretty good. They can
rush the pass, it really well. He didn't throw the
football more than six yards down the field. He was
taking what the defense give you. It was just classic
two minute drive, like what coaches tell you and what
(29:41):
coaches beacause like, hey, just take the open guy, Just
take the open guy. And then he takes off on
fourth down and scrambles and uses his life and they
end up winning the game. He's the ultimate I'm not
gonna do too much, but I'm gonna make plays when
I need to. I think he's playing like a top
five quarterback in the league right now.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
What would you have to see before you would pick
the Chargers to be the best team in the AFC?
Speaker 4 (30:05):
Oh Man?
Speaker 8 (30:06):
Are they aren't?
Speaker 9 (30:07):
They?
Speaker 8 (30:07):
Like up? They're already right Dan?
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Would you take them over Buffalo or the Ravens right now?
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Had to head, I would.
Speaker 8 (30:17):
Take them over the Ravens because of defensively, how they're
doing and at this specific moment, how Justin Herbert is playing,
because I think Justin Herbert's a new person and a
new man. Right He's aid Madison Beer, He's got all
this Hollywood. It's a completely different Justin Herbert than I'm
used to, and I like that he's gotten out of
his shell. He just does not care what people think.
(30:39):
He's got all the money, he's got that, he's got
the fit now. But the thing is like at who
he is at his core, he is a football dude.
And those football dudes between him and Harball, they make
it work. Now. Now, Quentin Johnston for the Chargers, he's
taken a next step, right. They got Keenan Allen back.
I can't tell you how important that is. They got Dan,
(31:01):
They got Shane Day back and he's the quarterback coach.
And Shane Day, I'm telling you, is the secret sauce
of this because him and Justin work so well behind
the scenes together. And then you look at that defense,
I think, you know, one of the best scoring defenses
in all of football. I do think the Bills right
now are the class of the AFC. And you can
make it. You can make a case for the Ravens
(31:21):
right you. You absolutely could, because I think they're they're
loaded again. I just think this is the year that
you know, Justin Herbert he gets a playoff win, Like,
I really do think that, and I think they've built
it the right way. And you just look at Jim
arball Man, like just what he's been able to do
in the first and second years of the programs. He
took them to the You know, I just think they're
I think they're built the right way.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Just need to avoid buffalo in the winter time in
the playoffs, finish this. If the Dolphins get blown out tonight,
oh don't.
Speaker 8 (31:51):
I don't know if mcdade'll get fired or I don't know.
I just you know, when I watched Miami on film,
it's it's rough, and it's brutal, and a lot of
it is coaching. So I'm gonna say the head coach
doesn't get fired. It's too early in the season. I
do think that, you know, time's running out, though, and
(32:12):
and with a roster that I think is somewhat talented,
and with a quarterback that I'm sort of mixed on.
I think he's really good at timing throws. I think
that's all the case. And you look at the history
between these two that don't really get blown out. I
think they're going to put up a lot of points
on it. If I was a betting man, I'd take
the over.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
But what is Mike McDaniel, You said, coaching? So what
is he doing or not doing?
Speaker 8 (32:37):
I just think their team is not ready to play.
I like, yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Mean they are professional, they're professionals, though, Chase, I mean,
how much is this on the coach? How much is
this on the captains to say?
Speaker 8 (32:51):
And yeah, yeah, exactly, And I think and I do
think that the head coach in some of these situations,
specifically in college or specifically in the NFL, it's like, okay,
like you can only do so much in the NFL
to get your guys. They're grown men. They need to
be ready to play. You give them the game plan.
There are specific things maybe they're that that maybe they're
(33:12):
not prepared for, whether it's offensive scheme stuff and the
defense is doing or defensive scheme stuff or too many
men on the field. They just they played sloppy football,
specifically on offense. And so yeah, I would agree with you,
like the coach tie gets too much blame for that.
But at the end of the day, the product you
put out on the field is the coach's responsibility.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Have fun with Texas and Sam Houston, go do uh
break bread with you? Thanks for joining us? Yeah, thanks, Dan,

MVP candidates, Shoe Heeotan He's got fifty one home runs.
He homeered again last night. He has one hundred and
seventy four strikeouts. Now he's the leadoff guy. H Kyle
(35:18):
Schwarber another leadoff guy. You know, normally your leadoff guy
gets on base, gets a lot of walks. Maybe he
has a high batting average. Kyle Schwarber has fifty three
home runs. He's stuck out one hundred and eighty one times.
Speaker 8 (35:33):
Wooo. Stell of a day, stant a day, Stella a day,
Stan a day.
Speaker 10 (35:42):
This is the Stele of the dayst.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Out of the Day, brought to you by Panini America,
the official trading cards of the program. You do have
an MVP race according to DraftKings. In the American League
Aaron Judge minus three to fifty, Cal Rawley plus two forty.
In the National League, Sho Heyo Tani is min is
ten thousand, Kyle Schwarber plus nineteen hundred. This has been
over for probably a month or so, maybe six weeks,
(36:08):
but Schwarber put up some big numbers for a team
that's played really well, but show Hey, the combination of
being able to hit fifty home runs, you're also out
there pitching five no hit innings. Now they're talking about
something we talked about earlier in the season. Is there
a scenario where you use show Hey Otani in the
bullpen come playoff time. I want to take you back
(36:30):
to the conversation. I'm going to ask the question of
Mark pryor the Dodgers pitching coach, about this possibility. Can
you see a scenario in the postseason where O'tani comes
in in relief?
Speaker 8 (36:45):
It's a good question, very fair question.
Speaker 9 (36:47):
We've it's been discussed, and it's really understanding kind of
the rules of him coming in as a reliever and
knowing that because of the rule of the way it's
set up right now, as a starter, he can come
out of the game and still maintain as a DH.
But he comes in as a reliever. You got to
find that line or where hopefully the game is, because
you can't put him in in the sixth and then
(37:09):
take him out as a pitcher in seventh and keep
him in as a DH.
Speaker 8 (37:12):
So it would have to be a.
Speaker 9 (37:14):
Situation where it was probably we think the game's over
and he's closing, or be okay with him not coming,
not hitting anymore.
Speaker 8 (37:21):
So that would be really the only scenario. Can I
see it?
Speaker 9 (37:24):
Absolutely, But it would probably be closer to the back
end when the games, you know, kind of on the line,
and it would be over after he's done.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
But he would have to play the outfield. He hasn't
played the outfield since twenty twenty one. But if you
have him, and this was brought up to me by
a former Picture All Star pitcher who said, you know,
the problem with that is you're going to try to
warm up. How do you warm up where you're playing
the outfield. Now we're going to bring you in. It's
(37:53):
different where you're warming up in the outfield just you know,
tossing back and forth. How can you get Otani ready
to go to come in and relief as opposed to
just keeping your arm active in the outfield. And he
hasn't played the outfield in a long time. I mean
not to say that he can't, but that's another big problem.
The last thing I want to do is have Otani,
(38:16):
you know, warm up, but then not get into a
game or try to warm up while he's in the outfield.
It's a completely different feeling where you're like, I'm just
tossing here. You can't say, you know to the other
outfield or hey, would you get down, I'm going to
pitch sixty feet six inches and you know, try to
assimilate what it's like to pitch in a game or
(38:37):
get ready to pitch in a game be really, really difficult.
Do I think it can happen? I do, because that
bullpen has been really bad, and it might be out
of necessity that you have to maybe try to cobble
something together there where you go, Okay, it's not perfect,
but it's a whole lot better than the other options.
Speaker 11 (38:54):
Yes, Marmon, going back to the MVP conversation, what type
of season does a player have to have to take
Otani out of that spot to win league? MVP start pitching,
So even if he has a Barry Bonds I bat seventy.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
No.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
No, if you have hit seventy homers in bad three
seventy and your team makes the you'd be you could
beat Shohevo TONI.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
But it has to be that type of season.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
Though, Yeah, I mean Kyle Schwarber hit fifty three home
runs so far, but he's going to finish distant second here. Oh,
Tany's just got a head starter on everybody, just because
there's still the fascination of he does something that nobody
in the history of the sport is done. And you
also hit fifty home runs and you're playing for the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
Yeah, Paul, and.
Speaker 5 (39:44):
You're not being facetious. He really hasn't pitched a lot
this year. He's going to finish the season with fewer
than fifty innings pitched. And he's been very good, not great,
but very good. But it's he walks in twenty yards
ahead of everybody.
Speaker 3 (39:57):
Seatan which update the poll results from the first out
the program.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
Yeah, we got up there right now, which is worse
a player's only meeting or coach calling out effort publicly.
Speaker 3 (40:10):
Right now?
Speaker 4 (40:11):
Earliest results have a player's only meeting at sixty one percent,
But I suspect that's going to.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
Change after Week one players only meeting? After you get
blown out by the Colts, where do you hold that meeting? Hey,
could we secure the conference room? What for players only meeting?
And then your coach calls out your effort after two weeks. See,
(40:37):
that's one of those where are you saying that? So
everybody in the media and the fans know, hey, Ben
Johnson means business here. We're not going to settle for
this instead of how about you say it to your team?
And maybe he has, but it felt like, hey, look
at me, I'm pretty tough.
Speaker 6 (40:56):
Guest hut is that a catered players only meeting with
donuts pakles? One of how far an events are they
prepare for kind of little snacks or something?
Speaker 5 (41:04):
Thank you, tod We need a conference room for a
fifty five huge menbies.
Speaker 3 (41:08):
Please all right?
Speaker 2 (41:12):
One hour in the books, two more to go on
this Thursday. Gang's all here. This is my starting lineup.
My team is on the floor. Normandale would say, Fritzy Seaton,
Marv Paully, yours truly. One hour in the books, two
more to go on this Thursday. Back after this in
the Dan Patrick Show,
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio Our one on this Thursday.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Ready to go football tonight as we start Week three,
this is kind of clean up your mess? Are you
start going south in a hurry? And for the Miami Dolphins,
you better clean up your mess tonight on the road.
You're a twelve and a half point underdog. And when
you think about Week three of the NFL season, it
feels like a turning point for some of these teams
(00:28):
because if you started out oh and two, and how
did you start out oh and two? Then all of
a sudden we start to look at a pattern here
and the Dolphins and Mike McDaniel on the hot seat,
and I don't think anybody's expecting them to beat Buffalo,
but can you have a quality loss here? I still
think that the big stretch run here. They host the Jets,
They're at the Panthers, host the Chargers, at the Browns
(00:51):
at Atlanta. You're going to get a really good idea
over those next six weeks just how good or bad
Miami is. Then you'll have more chatter about Tyreek Hill
and of course with Mike McDaniel, but the big game
coming up tonight against the Buffalo Bills, and here they
are zero to two and staring down a heavyweight in Buffalo,
(01:13):
battling maybe dysfunction. They it seem like they broke the code.
Two years ago, they had cracked the code. They had
one of the more innovative offenses. To a tongue of Iolo,
was playing Great Wattle Tyreek Hill. They're scoring, they're having fun.
Mike McDaniel quirky but winning. That's the difference. You can
(01:35):
be quirky and winning and we're fine with it. It's
when you're quirky and you're not winning, or all of
a sudden, we're like.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
What's wrong with that guy? I like him. I think
he's entertaining.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
I don't know if he's a head coach, but I
do think he's got one of those bright, offensive minds.
And I think sometimes when you put those guys in
front of the media, they can do their job. But
part of the job of being a head coach is
being a CEO, and some guys can and some guys
cannot do it. Now, Belichick got away with it because
(02:06):
he had success before social media. Then all of a sudden,
it's like, ah, right, he's gruff. That's who he is.
Greg Popovich before social media, you know, they could be
really tough on the media. Bob Knight, you could be
tough on the media, but you're winning. Bill Parcells, pat
Riley tough on the media, but you're winning. It's when
you don't. And I'm not saying Mike McDaniel is tough
(02:28):
on the media. You know you got Brian Kelly at LSU.
All right, if you're winning, you can be tough on
the media, Urban Meyer, Nick Saban, but you gotta win.
And Mike McDaniel you can be quirky, but you better win.
And that's been the problem. You start to look at
where did it go wrong here? I mean, TUA has
(02:49):
been healthy, Er feels like the same team that they've had.
It's just they don't feel threatening. And then you have
that stretch where you host the Jets at the Panthers,
host the Chargers at the Browns at Atlanta. You can
beat the Jets, you can beat the Panthers. You're going
to be hosting the Chargers coming cross country, You'll be
(03:09):
at the Browns and you're at Atlanta. They're all winnable games.
The question is can you win three out of five?
Can you win four out of five? But if there's
a blowout tonight, a standalone game, that's when everybody's going
to be circling. That's what happens standalone games. Now, everybody
(03:31):
has a referendum on the Miami Dolphins. Now, if Buffalo struggles,
that defense has holes in it. So there is room
for opportunity for the Miami Dolphins. But Buffalo is a
twelve and a half point underdog. Stat of the Day

If you're watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app.
And we say good morning to our radio affiliates around
the country. Seaton, could you provide a poll question? And
for the first hour this Thursday program, Todd is here,
Seaton's here, Marv Pauliers truly into Brg's.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
I kind of feel like we have to see non
yips before we see yips.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Wait, what do you mean?
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Like, how can you tell somebody has the yips if
you haven't really watched them play a ton.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Without the yips? Well, I think the yips it's like golf.
You can tell when somebody has the yips. I don't
know if you have to see them prior to the
yips when they were yip list.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
That's what I'm saying, Like if I went out onto
the golf course with you and the first two holes
I was spraying the ball all over the place, would
you be like, Ah, that's okay, you just got the yips.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
No, because the yips is putting. Now, I would be
able to see that. Just because you spray the ball
all over that that wouldn't tell me anything. But if
I see how you are over a putt, and you
know some of the best golfers in history have gone
through the yips, would you look at the definition of
yip in golf. Okay, yeah, you didn't think you'd be
(06:03):
asked that today, but we're talking yips.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
But yeah, you'll see golfers.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
I think Bernhard longer and then he went to a
longer putter because he was suffering from the yips.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Yes, Paul, a state of extreme nervousness that causes a
golfer to miss an easy putt. Now, it says Urban Dictionary.
This is branched out to be other sports, but the origin.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Is golf and putting. Well, Chuck Nablock had the yips,
Yes he did, right.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Steve Sachs, Macki Sasser, Steve Blass, wear something easy, some
routine and you can't do it, like Rick Ankiel couldn't
throw the bowl over over the plate even get to
the catcher.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
But if those are like the first couple of games
that he did that, you wouldn't just think, oh, that's
just the yips, don't worry.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
About I'm surprised. And once again last Chase Daniel about
this that I don't know if you're short arming it
like you're nervous and you don't follow through. And therefore,
because Chuck Nona Block couldn't throw it from second to first,
and Steve Sachs was a second baseman as well, Mackie
Saser was a catcher and he couldn't throw it back
to the pitcher.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
It is weird how difficult it is from to get
the ball to first from the second base position, not
second base, the bag, but you just get a grounder
at second and you have to flip it over to
first for some reason, it's a really weird, weirdly difficult
throw to make.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Well, you had who is the picture for the Red
Sox and the Cubs, and he couldn't throw it, you know,
from the pitcher's mount to first base. John Lester, Paul
think John Lester, he couldn't throw.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
It, he had to stop checking runner.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
I think he threw his glove one time with the
ball in it, like there you go, yes, yes, Ton.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
And sometimes something may be so easier, so routine, that
it gets in your head, like when there's a wide
open receiver for a short pass and he just totally
overthrows the guy because it's so easy, and somehow he's
made it complicated mentally.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
We'll talk to Chase about that.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I had not heard that with quarterbacks having to yip
now though short arm it, and maybe that's what he's
talking about, that you almost are you've not committed to
the throw that you don't want to throw it and
have it intercepted, so you short arm it therefore ends
up at somebody's feet. Here's another thing. You normally don't
have a player's only meeting after a blowout loss after
(08:21):
Week one, Like that's not a good sign. The Dolphins
they lost to Danny Dimes thirty three to eight, and
then they had a player's only meeting. I don't know
how many times you hold a player's only meeting after
you have a big win. But usually that's a celebration
(08:42):
out at a bar or club. But this is a
players only meeting after the blowout loss in Week one.
That's not a good sign. Twelve and a half point underdogs.
What could go wrong? What other poll questions are we
considering today? Seedon, We got one here from Marvin.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
What's the worst sign for a team of players only
meeting or a coach calling out the team's effort?
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Yeah, Ben Johnson did this.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Oh boy, this is bad when a coach calls out, hey,
we got to take care of the ball. Hey we
can't make the have that many penalties. But when you say, hey,
I'm questioning our effort, well, now that's something completely different.
Now I'm questioning your motivation. Now I'm questioning how badly
(09:26):
do you want to play? Are you playing hard enough?
And it wasn't a you know, a long speech that
Ben had. In fact, it was felt like a throwaway line. Pauline.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
Yeah, it was one line he said, our practice habits
are yet to reflect a championship caliber team and then
just stopped.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
That one just hangs in the air.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
It's like, oh, that's when if I'm in that press conference,
I'm like, I'm zeroed in.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
What do you mean by that? Coach?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
What role do you take in your team, maybe not
being ready to play or having, you know, that motivation
to play.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Yeah, I feel like it's a little early in said
coaching career to publicly call out your team like that.
Maybe you need to build a little bit of trust
amongst yourself and the roster first before you publicly humiliate
your entire team.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Well, it was a rough week in Chicago. They want
results right now, and maybe he's starting to It's hard
to say that you feel the heat after two games,
but maybe Ben Johnson starting to feel the heat. Not
that there's going to be a change there, but you know,
it feels like Caleb Williams give him this year. Let's
(10:36):
just see, you got a guy, Ben Johnson. Now, there's
no excuses. You got a guy who's offensive minded. Look
what he did to Jared Goff. Look what he did
for the Lions. He can do that for the Bears.
He wanted this job. You were gonna have to pay
a lot to get him. The Bears did and buy
all accounts. Everybody said they got the right guy, they
(10:57):
got the best guy available. I'm still in on this
situation because I got to. I have to give Caleb
Williams enough time I'm old enough to know that that's
the way they used to do it. John Elway, Peyton Manning,
Steve McNair, Troy mcrun down the list, Montana, they all
(11:17):
got time to develop. It's really rare. It was really rare.
Right out of the gate. You go in and you're
gonna light everybody up. It's not that easy. And as
much as we want to say, well, they're kind of
running the same offenses in college as they are in
the NFL, they are, but there's one small issue with that.
(11:37):
You're only open for a and now you're not open
in college. You're open, you're open, you're open, you're open,
you're open in the pros. It's just not that way.
And those guys getting off the edge. And I know
I've said this so many times, but it is it
will stay in my memory bank. Being on the sidelines
(11:59):
to watch how fast a game is. It's like when
I told you about seeing Usain Bolt at the London Olympics.
It's one thing to watch him on TV, but the
camera stays on him so it doesn't feel like, okay's fast.
But when you're trying to follow him while you're in
the stadium, you're like, oh my god, he's just like
(12:19):
there and he's gone. He made the turn in the
two hundred meters and I said to my wife, the
race is over, and she goes, it is. I go, no,
it is. But the race still had one hundred meters
to go. I didn't leave right after that. We didn't
leave early. Yeah, hey, we're leaving after one hundred meters
on be traffic. When you watch on the sidelines, how
(12:41):
quickly those edge rushers get in there, It is amazing
and how they process this and you're trying to teach
somebody how to play the position. And I don't know
if Caleb Williams was coached well his last year at USC.
I don't know if he allowed himself to be coached
well at USC, because it feels like he has the
(13:04):
same habits that he did there. Even cam Ward. I'm
watching him. He could turn out to be a great quarterback.
But they all try to make a play.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
You know.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Lamar Jackson, he can make a play, but he also
will step up in the pocket. Lamar Jackson's one of
the best passers in the NFL. The numbers prove that.
Now you may not like it esthetically the way he
throws the ball, but you step up in the pocket
when you need to, when you need to make a play,
then you can make a play. These guys try to
(13:35):
make a play all the time, and that's where you
have to learn. Man, I don't want to throw this
ball away. I don't want to fall down take a sack.
But all the greats have done that, all the greats,
Brady Manning, even Mahomes. Yeah, pulling.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
And some quarterbacks get a haul pass with their rookie
year based on the coaching staff not working out, like
Trevor Lawrence back in twenty twenty one under Ervin Meyer.
Urban Meyer got the blame for Trevor Lawrence having a
terrible rookie year, and the next year he threw twenty
five touchdowns and eight picks. It's still a work in
progress with Trevor, but it got better fast.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
And even Ben Johnson saying, you know, I like his optimism,
but what he says, we don't have. You know, we
want champion caliber, you know, team, we want effort.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
There.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Can't you say maybe wild card playoff caliber, team.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
Winning record, championship, championship blank?
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Okay, slow down there, coach, easy there? All right?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Does Arch Manning have the yips and if so, how
did he get them? How do you get rid of them?
We'll talk to Chase Daniel and he also has some
thoughts on Caleb Williams. Also he's in love with Dak
Prescott after two weeks, so we'll talk to Chase. He's
always great breaking things down your phone calls, settle on
a poll question. We're back after this Dan Patrick Show.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
Uh it's a great day football tonight, even though Dolphin's
a big underdog at twelve and a half points in Buffalo. Uh,
we were talking about the yips, and Todd said, I
think Chase Daniel broke down Arch Manning's game footage so far.
He's got Texas against Sam Houston coming out this weekend
for the Mothership, and the word yips came up. You
(16:05):
normally hear that with golfers or baseball players. Paully has
the definition. According to the Mayo Clinic.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
Yeah, the Mayo Clinic treats it as a real thing.
They said the yips are involuntary risk spasms that occur
when people are playing sports like golf and other sports.
But they said it was thought to be just a
performance anxiety and mental it could actually be a physicality
thing with focal dystonia, which causes neurological condition with specific
muscles and cause them to contract. They said. The way
(16:31):
to get around this is to use the muscles almost
in a reverse order sometimes to relieve yourself of it.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
I haven't heard quarterbacks having the yips, but I'm guessing
short arming the ball. But let me bring in Chase Daniel,
the ESPN NFL College football analyst. He'll be on the
call Sam Houston versus Texas that'll be on the ESPN
plus SEC Network height, Does arch Manning have the yips?
And if so, what are the yips?
Speaker 8 (16:55):
Chase? Yeah, yeah, I don't like to ever talk about
a quarterback having the yips, right Like in baseball, it
was like when second baseman couldn't throw to first base,
and it was always like something we don't talk about, right,
And I don't know if it's the yips. But what
I do know, and I've went back, is I'm obviously
(17:17):
calling the game and looked at every single snap this year,
and I even went back and looked at last year's
snaps when he played, and I would just say, instead
of the yips, I'll say mechanically, there are a lot
of things wrong with his throwing motion, from his feet
not being in the right spot, to his arm angle
not being in the right spot, to him grimacing when
(17:41):
he throws the football. And I think that's the biggest thing.
It's I don't think he's hurt, Dan, I really don't.
I just think his motion and his throwing angle of
his should I feel like everything's completely off. And I
say this is specifically his backfoot. Your backfoot is a thrower.
(18:03):
And I learned this from Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Tom
House who worked with that. He's like a renowned throwing coach.
He lives right down the road for me, I've worked
with him before. Your power comes from your feet up
as a thrower. So anytime your feet aren't planted in
the ground firmly, you don't get enough torque on the ball.
You don't get enough power on the ball. Last year,
(18:23):
when I watched arch Manning and all his snaps, his
back foot was down until his arm came through, which
is very mechanically correct, for lack of better words. This year,
almost every throw, including in clean pockets, that backfoot has
come up, so his ball dies on him a specifically
going to the right right. We saw this tenplay, really
(18:48):
really this twenty play incompletion stretch, and it was ten
in completions against UTEP. UTEP has one of the worst
passing defenses in all of college football to Texas played
last week. And so my thing is, I don't know
how you fix it, because you can get to the
mechanical stuff. You can get to this and that, So
(19:10):
I'm not gonna call it the yips, but mechanically he
looks completely different than he did last year.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
But his head coach is a former quarterback. How does
Steve Sarkisia not see this and maybe try to arrest it.
Speaker 8 (19:25):
Well, he has seen it, and I think Texas is
averaging over forty carries a game. They're not throwing the football,
and you know, you've watched Sarks offenses in the past
and they like to throw the football. They're not getting
Ryan Wingo, their number one receiver involved. That just they
don't look like an offense that I've seen Texas look
like before. And you know what I you know, the
(19:46):
Ohio State Texas game, right, everyone was like, oh, it's
obviously Artis and play ball, but Sarks, it's a manageable
game plan. So I thought they did really good stuff
on offense. And if you look at all three of
their games they played, then there's stuff open. Arch is
just missing it. He's not accurate.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Yeah, and I've seen that with you know, Caleb Williams
sometimes CJ Stroud so far this year, but let you
broke down. Caleb Williams helped me understand because it feels
like there's a whole lot more going on in Chicago
after two games than there should be.
Speaker 8 (20:19):
Yeah, and when it comes to Caleb, it's it's like
you get the really good and small spurts and then
some of the bad the rest of the game. Right,
you look at the first half on both of his
games that he's played this year, I thought he's played
pretty well mechanically and physically and just mentally. This past
game versus Troy, I know they got killed, but I
(20:40):
thought he played pretty well and I thought it was
one of his better halfs as a pro, just the
first half. But then it got out of hand and
they got the defensive issues. I think with Caleb it's
always been in his mind, like physically, we know the
talent is there, and he gets into a rhythm. At
times when he's not doing well, he tries to do
too much, and I think that's what Ben Jonson and
(21:00):
doesn't want them to do. We have an offense. We
got to get swift involved. We have three really good receivers,
we have two really good tight ends. We paid a
million bucks for the interior of that offensive line. They
have all the talent in the world. Sometimes Dad, it's
just between the ears for some of these guys, and
if they can understand how to play the game, and
it's new in this marriage with Ben Johnson, that's when
(21:21):
I think they'll really be good, but they got to
fix other issues. Like their defense right now is just.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
It's not good. But it feels like Caleb Williams.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Sometimes with players who have so much talent, they can't
do the mundane. And there are times as a quarterback
where you're like, all right, I'm gonna take a set.
I'm gonna throw this away. We're only gonna get five yards.
They want to make a play. It's almost like you
want to hit an eight run home run when you
(21:51):
go to the plate when you've been in a slump,
and it feels like Caleb wants to do so much
more because we expect him to do so much more.
Speaker 8 (21:58):
That's exactly right. And Drew Brees used to I backed
him up for five years. He used to say, Hey,
quarterbacks boring like quarterbacks for you. There's gonna be some
games where this team just played in too high safety look,
and we're just gonna have to throw hitch after hitch
after hitch, and then maybe we'll get an in route
and maybe we'll get a go ball down the sideline
when they're a man and I'll check to it. That's
(22:19):
sort of the weekly minutia of playing quarterback because you
don't know how any given defense is going to play
you on Sunday, and you could have an entire game plan.
We had it all the time in New Orleans. Was
the game plan was like throw the ball deep. You
know what, Champayne would call fifteen of his run action
shot plays down the field where it's a post and
you know what, Drew would check it down to the quarterback.
(22:39):
You know what, it would travel five yards in the air,
but that running back in mark ingram will go for
twenty and so the passing yards look good. I do
think that he's forcing stuff down the field. But playing quarterback,
it's gotta be boring sometimes in some of these games.
Not every game is one the same.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
He's Chase Daniel.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
He'll be on the Call of Texas Sam Houston on
ESPN plus SEC Network and a co host of the
Athletics Scoop City podcast, also the YouTube channel Must See TV,
the Chase Daniels Show. So he breaks down these quarterbacks.
You've fallen in love with Dak Prescott so far, even
though I look at his quarterback rating and it's not
(23:16):
a very good rating. It's twenty third, So what are
you seeing that we're not seeing.
Speaker 8 (23:22):
Well. I just think that look, when Dak is healthy
and the first time truly healthy since two years ago
where he finished second in the MVP voting, I think,
right now, right the rating doesn't tell the story when
I look at his film and I just look purely
at the quarterback position, forget about those around him, forget
about how the way he's operating, not only throwing the
(23:44):
football down the field, not only fitting in tight window
throws when needed, he's not forcing the football down the field.
He's controlling the line of scrimmage. He's getting the Cowboys
to in and out of the right place. Now, look,
they almost stole a game on the road in Philly,
verus a very good Philly team. We all know how
we feel about Philly. I thought he played excellent in
that game. Right, He's had some dropped interceptions, so it's
(24:04):
made it look better. But you look at the Giants
game and you look at the multiple two minute drives
that he's had to have like that, That's what the
NFL comes down to is can you make plays in
two minute drives? In two minute jills? And he had
three drives over the course of the fourth quarter and
overtime where he willed his team to victory. And I
know that Dak gets a lot of haters.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
I know.
Speaker 8 (24:24):
I'm not talking about the Cowboys team in general because
I don't think they're that good. I thought. I think offensively,
they're much better than they were last year or even
the year before now, and that comes from Brian Schottenheimer.
He's using a lot of pre snap motions, so he's
letting Dak Prescott see the answers to the test before
the test is given. Hey, give me a man's own read,
(24:45):
give me a slot formation, give me all this. I
just think the offense is attacking more. They actually have
something in that running back and Williams as well. And
when Dak has had a run game in the past,
he's been really well.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
You got the Chiefs and the Giants coming up this week.
Can Now I'm looking at the schedule. This is a
tough schedule. So, okay, you get by the Giants. Now
you got the Ravens, you got Jacksonville in Jacksonville, you
got the Lions, you got the Raiders, then you got
the Commanders, and then you got the Buffalo Bills. That's
(25:18):
pretty tough, seld That's pretty tough for a team that's
waiting to get its two best receivers back. And I
don't Kelsey hasn't stood out. Mahomes is trying. It feels
like he's trying to do something to up, you know,
get this team fired up. He's actually running and taking
on defensive backs and I don't know, help me understand
(25:39):
the chief handicap the Chiefs here first half of the season.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
What do you think?
Speaker 8 (25:43):
Yeah, looking too right, first time since twenty fourteen, and
I was actually on that team and we didn't end
up making the playoffs. The thing with the Chiefs this
year where I think they have struggled to get a
little bit better is obviously like they haven't had their
receivers right. They haven't had Rashi, Rice, Hollywood Brown or xafer'
Worthy in two years on the field. At the same time,
(26:06):
that is a completely different receiver corep than they've had
to do. Obviously, with Travis Kelce getting older, he's not
as much of a factor as he can.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
I thought.
Speaker 8 (26:15):
The offensive line really is still the issue, specifically left
guard in Kingsley Sumac. Yeah, he's just not playing at
a high level, especially against Philly, And when you look
at their offense. They wanted to be a throw it
down the field offense. That sort of escaped them from
their offensive game plans really the last two or three
years without Tyreek, they wanted to do that. This year,
(26:36):
they've had to make adjustments and change the way they've
played the game, and it's been Patrick Mahomes running the football.
I don't want him leading the league and rushing the
football for quarterbacks. That's not what he does, right, But
he's had to do that. And I look at their
schedule and I'm glad you brought that up. If they
can be three and three after the Ravens and Lions,
I think it's the Lions the last one. If they
(26:58):
can just get to three and three, and they did
this a couple years ago, or they get into a rhythm,
they find out who they are offensively, they get all
their guys back, I think that the Chiefs can still
be the Chiefs. Like I just think it's way too
early to write them off. And I know all these
people are oh and too. It's impossible to make like
a twelve percent chance to make the playoffs. I just
think like their defense is still really good, and if
(27:21):
they can get some wins against some quality opponents and
just get to five hundred through six games. Then I mean, look,
the one seed might be out the table they if
they do that right, but as long as they get
into the tournament, it's the Chiefs are the Chiefs for me.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
I know you've watched film of Baker Mayfield and it's
weird how people still aren't accepting a Baker Mayfield. He
had an incredible year last year. It's like, hey, you
got kicked to the curb by the Browns, you were
with Carolina, you were with the Rams, you know, you're
damaged goods, and then all of a sudden, hey you
(27:54):
got to compete with Kyle Trask in Tampa Bay. I
don't is it it maybe his persona that people have
a problem with or I don't know what it is,
but he's one of those guys that he knows how
to win and he's gonna play tough for you. What
(28:15):
did you see from him? Is there anything different this
year than last year?
Speaker 8 (28:18):
No? I love Baker again. I would say the last
two years he's played really well, like like actually really
really good. He's played if you just look at the stats,
and I don't love doing it all the time. He's
played like a top eight quarterback in the league, like
in every major category. And the thing I liked about
this year is both of their games came down to
(28:39):
the last play of the game, and he has willed
his team to win. He now he's got a strong arm,
he's got all that stuff. I do think the offense
in Tampa has really fit him well. Now he has
three complete studs to throw to a receiver, so that helps. Offensively,
they're explosive. He's also played without five starters too, so
(29:00):
just the way he's been playing. I think people like
to hate on Baker because of his demeanor and because
of the stuff he does. And you know, he can
be polarizing to some. I love it, like I want
my quarterback to have that. To him, I think he's
got to have swagger. I think he's got to have confidence.
And the thing is he's backed it up so when
you watch him, he's not really wild on the I mean, look,
(29:21):
look look at the two minute drive. And if you
actually this past weekend, if you actually break down the
two minute drive to win the game against the Texans,
which I think that defense is pretty good. They can
rush the pass, it really well. He didn't throw the
football more than six yards down the field. He was
taking what the defense give you. It was just classic
two minute drive, like what coaches tell you and what
(29:41):
coaches beacause like, hey, just take the open guy, Just
take the open guy. And then he takes off on
fourth down and scrambles and uses his life and they
end up winning the game. He's the ultimate I'm not
gonna do too much, but I'm gonna make plays when
I need to. I think he's playing like a top
five quarterback in the league right now.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
What would you have to see before you would pick
the Chargers to be the best team in the AFC?
Speaker 4 (30:05):
Oh Man?
Speaker 8 (30:06):
Are they aren't?
Speaker 9 (30:07):
They?
Speaker 8 (30:07):
Like up? They're already right Dan?
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Would you take them over Buffalo or the Ravens right now?
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Had to head, I would.
Speaker 8 (30:17):
Take them over the Ravens because of defensively, how they're
doing and at this specific moment, how Justin Herbert is playing,
because I think Justin Herbert's a new person and a
new man. Right He's aid Madison Beer, He's got all
this Hollywood. It's a completely different Justin Herbert than I'm
used to, and I like that he's gotten out of
his shell. He just does not care what people think.
(30:39):
He's got all the money, he's got that, he's got
the fit now. But the thing is like at who
he is at his core, he is a football dude.
And those football dudes between him and Harball, they make
it work. Now. Now, Quentin Johnston for the Chargers, he's
taken a next step, right. They got Keenan Allen back.
I can't tell you how important that is. They got Dan,
(31:01):
They got Shane Day back and he's the quarterback coach.
And Shane Day, I'm telling you, is the secret sauce
of this because him and Justin work so well behind
the scenes together. And then you look at that defense,
I think, you know, one of the best scoring defenses
in all of football. I do think the Bills right
now are the class of the AFC. And you can
make it. You can make a case for the Ravens
(31:21):
right you. You absolutely could, because I think they're they're
loaded again. I just think this is the year that
you know, Justin Herbert he gets a playoff win, Like,
I really do think that, and I think they've built
it the right way. And you just look at Jim
arball Man, like just what he's been able to do
in the first and second years of the programs. He
took them to the You know, I just think they're
I think they're built the right way.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Just need to avoid buffalo in the winter time in
the playoffs, finish this. If the Dolphins get blown out tonight,
oh don't.
Speaker 8 (31:51):
I don't know if mcdade'll get fired or I don't know.
I just you know, when I watched Miami on film,
it's it's rough, and it's brutal, and a lot of
it is coaching. So I'm gonna say the head coach
doesn't get fired. It's too early in the season. I
do think that, you know, time's running out, though, and
(32:12):
and with a roster that I think is somewhat talented,
and with a quarterback that I'm sort of mixed on.
I think he's really good at timing throws. I think
that's all the case. And you look at the history
between these two that don't really get blown out. I
think they're going to put up a lot of points
on it. If I was a betting man, I'd take
the over.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
But what is Mike McDaniel, You said, coaching? So what
is he doing or not doing?
Speaker 8 (32:37):
I just think their team is not ready to play.
I like, yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Mean they are professional, they're professionals, though, Chase, I mean,
how much is this on the coach? How much is
this on the captains to say?
Speaker 8 (32:51):
And yeah, yeah, exactly, And I think and I do
think that the head coach in some of these situations,
specifically in college or specifically in the NFL, it's like, okay,
like you can only do so much in the NFL
to get your guys. They're grown men. They need to
be ready to play. You give them the game plan.
There are specific things maybe they're that that maybe they're
(33:12):
not prepared for, whether it's offensive scheme stuff and the
defense is doing or defensive scheme stuff or too many
men on the field. They just they played sloppy football,
specifically on offense. And so yeah, I would agree with you,
like the coach tie gets too much blame for that.
But at the end of the day, the product you
put out on the field is the coach's responsibility.

MVP candidates, Shoe Heeotan He's got fifty one home runs.
He homeered again last night. He has one hundred and
seventy four strikeouts. Now he's the leadoff guy. H Kyle
(35:18):
Schwarber another leadoff guy. You know, normally your leadoff guy
gets on base, gets a lot of walks. Maybe he
has a high batting average. Kyle Schwarber has fifty three
home runs. He's stuck out one hundred and eighty one times.
Speaker 8 (35:33):
Wooo. Stell of a day, stant a day, Stella a day,
Stan a day.
Speaker 10 (35:42):
This is the Stele of the dayst.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Out of the Day, brought to you by Panini America,
the official trading cards of the program. You do have
an MVP race according to DraftKings. In the American League
Aaron Judge minus three to fifty, Cal Rawley plus two forty.
In the National League, Sho Heyo Tani is min is
ten thousand, Kyle Schwarber plus nineteen hundred. This has been
over for probably a month or so, maybe six weeks,
(36:08):
but Schwarber put up some big numbers for a team
that's played really well, but show Hey, the combination of
being able to hit fifty home runs, you're also out
there pitching five no hit innings. Now they're talking about
something we talked about earlier in the season. Is there
a scenario where you use show Hey Otani in the
bullpen come playoff time. I want to take you back
(36:30):
to the conversation. I'm going to ask the question of
Mark pryor the Dodgers pitching coach, about this possibility. Can
you see a scenario in the postseason where O'tani comes
in in relief?
Speaker 8 (36:45):
It's a good question, very fair question.
Speaker 9 (36:47):
We've it's been discussed, and it's really understanding kind of
the rules of him coming in as a reliever and
knowing that because of the rule of the way it's
set up right now, as a starter, he can come
out of the game and still maintain as a DH.
But he comes in as a reliever. You got to
find that line or where hopefully the game is, because
you can't put him in in the sixth and then
(37:09):
take him out as a pitcher in seventh and keep
him in as a DH.
Speaker 8 (37:12):
So it would have to be a.
Speaker 9 (37:14):
Situation where it was probably we think the game's over
and he's closing, or be okay with him not coming,
not hitting anymore.
Speaker 8 (37:21):
So that would be really the only scenario. Can I
see it?
Speaker 9 (37:24):
Absolutely, But it would probably be closer to the back
end when the games, you know, kind of on the line,
and it would be over after he's done.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
But he would have to play the outfield. He hasn't
played the outfield since twenty twenty one. But if you
have him, and this was brought up to me by
a former Picture All Star pitcher who said, you know,
the problem with that is you're going to try to
warm up. How do you warm up where you're playing
the outfield. Now we're going to bring you in. It's
(37:53):
different where you're warming up in the outfield just you know,
tossing back and forth. How can you get Otani ready
to go to come in and relief as opposed to
just keeping your arm active in the outfield. And he
hasn't played the outfield in a long time. I mean
not to say that he can't, but that's another big problem.
The last thing I want to do is have Otani,
(38:16):
you know, warm up, but then not get into a
game or try to warm up while he's in the outfield.
It's a completely different feeling where you're like, I'm just
tossing here. You can't say, you know to the other
outfield or hey, would you get down, I'm going to
pitch sixty feet six inches and you know, try to
assimilate what it's like to pitch in a game or
(38:37):
get ready to pitch in a game be really, really difficult.
Do I think it can happen? I do, because that
bullpen has been really bad, and it might be out
of necessity that you have to maybe try to cobble
something together there where you go, Okay, it's not perfect,
but it's a whole lot better than the other options.
Speaker 11 (38:54):
Yes, Marmon, going back to the MVP conversation, what type
of season does a player have to have to take
Otani out of that spot to win league? MVP start pitching,
So even if he has a Barry Bonds I bat seventy.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
No.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
No, if you have hit seventy homers in bad three
seventy and your team makes the you'd be you could
beat Shohevo TONI.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
But it has to be that type of season.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
Though, Yeah, I mean Kyle Schwarber hit fifty three home
runs so far, but he's going to finish distant second here. Oh,
Tany's just got a head starter on everybody, just because
there's still the fascination of he does something that nobody
in the history of the sport is done. And you
also hit fifty home runs and you're playing for the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
Yeah, Paul, and.
Speaker 5 (39:44):
You're not being facetious. He really hasn't pitched a lot
this year. He's going to finish the season with fewer
than fifty innings pitched. And he's been very good, not great,
but very good. But it's he walks in twenty yards
ahead of everybody.
Speaker 3 (39:57):
Seatan which update the poll results from the first out
the program.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
Yeah, we got up there right now, which is worse
a player's only meeting or coach calling out effort publicly.
Speaker 3 (40:10):
Right now?
Speaker 4 (40:11):
Earliest results have a player's only meeting at sixty one percent,
But I suspect that's going to.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
Change after Week one players only meeting? After you get
blown out by the Colts, where do you hold that meeting? Hey,
could we secure the conference room? What for players only meeting?
And then your coach calls out your effort after two weeks. See,
(40:37):
that's one of those where are you saying that? So
everybody in the media and the fans know, hey, Ben
Johnson means business here. We're not going to settle for
this instead of how about you say it to your team?
And maybe he has, but it felt like, hey, look
at me, I'm pretty tough.
Speaker 6 (40:56):
Guest hut is that a catered players only meeting with
donuts pakles? One of how far an events are they
prepare for kind of little snacks or something?
Speaker 5 (41:04):
Thank you, tod We need a conference room for a
fifty five huge menbies.
Speaker 3 (41:08):
Please all right?
