Eight seven seven three DP Show email address Tpatdanpatrick dot com,
Twitter handle at DP show. It was a wild weekend.
Now College football not as inspiring and dramatic, but pro
(01:10):
football certainly those one o'clock games towards the end, and
you had a lot of drama. Block kicks, we had
punt returns, we had interception returns, fumble returns, a little
bit of everything there, and maybe one of the worst
beats ever in the history of the NFL with the
Eagles coming back to cover against the Rams. It's one
(01:33):
of those where and having been a former gambler, I've
already chalked that up. Now I want to see if
I could get some action on the four to thirty
five game. I already know I'm winning this one. Now,
all of a sudden, I'm going, you know what, maybe
I'll put Nickel on this. Yeah, I got some money
to play with her. Maybe I put a dime on this.
And then all of a sudden, the only way you
(01:54):
can lose is if they blocked the kick and they
run it back for a touchdown, which is exactly what
they did. That's one of the worst beats in the
history of beats. And it's a three hundred pound lineman
who's going to score the touchdown there? Wow, But the
Eagles come back to beat the Rams Chargers over the Broncos,
(02:16):
the Brown's over the Packers, and that's one of those
where it's ten to nothing, and I kept thinking, what's
going on with the Packers, like it's just you know,
Brown's defense played well, Packers defense played well. And it
was just one of those games where that's where in
the survivor pool where you go, yeah, you know what,
(02:37):
I'll take the Packers. I can get through this week.
I got the Packers this week. And then all of
a sudden, okay, it's ten three, and then okay, there's
an interception. Okay, now it's ten ten. Oh boy, and
then all of a sudden, we have a game winning
field goal. And green Bay was three hundred I think
(03:02):
when okay, here's the stat So the Brown score thirteen
in the final three minutes and thirty eight seconds. Green
Bay had won three hundred consecutive games when they were
up by at least ten points in the final four
minutes of a game. The last time they lost a
game like this before yesterday the Baltimore Colts in nineteen
(03:25):
sixty seven, when Vince Lombardi was the Packers head coach
and Don Shula was the Colts head coach. Oh yeah,
Saturday Day I brought to you by a Penai America.
Every team is allowed one of those games, and sometimes
(03:48):
you can afford a loss like that. Now, there are
other teams where you go, well, that's going to come
back and haunt you when it comes to winning a
division home field advantage, and you start to wonder, and
I think you get a pretty good idea of how
good your team is. You know, three games in now,
I got a pretty good idea. Now, I don't know
about the Texans. I'm watching and I'm thinking that defense
(04:10):
is one of the top three defenses in the NFL.
They're zero to three and C. J. Stroud pick up
a white courtesy Foe. They're just like Jacksonville. I still
don't know. I mean, I'm watching and I'm going, okay,
you know a lot of drops. You know Trevor Lawrence,
you know, his numbers should have been a whole lot better.
(04:34):
I think the Broncos are still going to be okay,
and that's a good win for the Chargers, the Bears
over the Cowboys. I have no idea about either one
of those teams. I mean, I know Dallas has a
terrible defense and could probably use a pass rusher. When
you can't sack a quarterback who was sacked sixty eight
(04:54):
times last year, that seems like that's a problem. And
Caleb Boylliams looked pretty good, had some fun that defensive.
You know, the secondary, they paid some guys. Bland and
Diggs got paid and they got roughed up there. But
I don't know how good Dallas is. I think Dallas
(05:16):
and then Ceedee Lamb goes out with an injury. Dak
had a couple of interceptions. But the Bears, I mean
the Bears deet and it's not the monsters of the
Midway the Bucks. Baker Mayfield's getting into that hey game
on the line, ball in his hands. He's almost like
where Russell Wilson was seven or eight years ago, where
(05:37):
it's like, all right, just get me the ball. And
he's a closer. It's probably the best compliment I can
give him. He's a closer. And he did that yesterday
with the Jets Vikings over the Bengals. This was all
about the Vikings defense. They were like, it doesn't matter
who's quarterbacking, we're coming after you. And Carson Wentz is fine.
(06:02):
It's not that much of a drop off, but he
didn't have to do that much. Mike Colts over the Titans.
Titans are bad, and I kept thinking, you know, they
probably could use a better coach. Oh, that's right, they
had one with my Rabel. Oh yeah, they could have
had a maybe a good running Oh yeah, they did
(06:23):
have a good running back in there wide receive. Oh
that's right. He's in Chicago. But the Colts look great.
Jonathan Taylor. Is there a better player with less publicity?
If I look at the ratio in the last four
or five years with him, he's he's pretty good. He's
(06:46):
pretty good. Uh, Seahawks role, I have Chiefs over the Giants.
Chiefs are boring. I mean they should have been down
at halftime. It's just there's no excitement it. I mean,
that was a rough game. And Chris collins Worth man
is he loved himself? Sir Patrick Mahomes. It's like, Chris,
(07:08):
come on, come on, slow down home. Oh. It felt
like it was a Hallmark greeting card. Every time he
went back to pass, It's like he's great, but he
wasn't great. It's like, okay, all right backwards, no look passed,
(07:29):
but then they didn't complete it. But no other quarterback
could have Like what who else could do that? Throw
a crappy pass and then recover? Oh Man College football.
I watched a lot of the Clemson Syracuse game, Texas
Tech dominated Utah, Michigan over Nebraska, Oklahoma and Auburn. Uh
(07:52):
the Indiana Indiana game. Say goodbye to Illinois, mean you
lose by fifty three points? Oh my god, LSU, Miami, Oregon,
Florida State, Texas s they roll, but Indiana, I said,
(08:13):
Indiana could put up point I didn't know they're going
to put up that many points. The Clemson lost to
Syracuse once again. Lewis Riddick was on the call with
that and Dabosweeney. You can't have that kind of performance
out of your team at home after you have a
press conference where you're calling out the media for calling
you out. Mike Gundy with Oklahoma State. I mean, you're
(08:37):
seeing some of these coaches and this is what Nick
Saban was talking about. You have to get up to
speed with today's game. And I'm not talking about the
actual speed of a player or the game. I'm talking
about you got to get up and understand exactly You've
got to be aggressive and talking to somebody about Mike
Gundy that he has not been aggressive with recruiting, you know,
(09:01):
Dabbo with nil transfer portal. I mean, this drove Saban
out of the game. But you can't sit there and
have your head and sand and go, you know what,
We're still gonna get great players. You are, but so
are other teams, and they get them by just paying them.
And you know, we talk about firing a coach, you know,
Mike Gundy, Well you also fire the assistance as well,
(09:23):
so it's not just a coach. You're gonna have to
fire an entire staff. There when you talk about the money,
and I know somebody can write a check for this,
but they have been non competitive and that's what's surprising Syracuse.
Syracuse played well. They they were the better team and
it showed. But Clemson at home, Yeah, that's one of
(09:49):
those what And I'm watching, I'm going, okay, where's Caid
club nickname? You know, and he threw I think three
touchdown passes, but you're losing get home. Just surprised and
even Nebraska. I watched that and I thought Nebraska would win.
I thought maybe, okay, maybe, like when are they making
this turnaround?
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Here.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
You know, the days that Tom Osborne are long gone,
long gone. And it shows Nebraska is just a team.
They are They're just a team. And you know, Oklahoma's
had its moments. I mean those those were top five
teams for a long, long, long, long time. But Oklahoma
(10:30):
big win against Auburn. But Nebraska, those are the games
you gotta win. I mean, Michigan's not a great team,
but Nebraska, if we're waiting for them, we may be
waiting a lot longer than we thought.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Yeah, Pauly, that Clemson Syracuse game, it got interrupted by
one of those lightning delays, and that was like the
best thing that happened to Clemson. People turned the channel.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
That's the only way they stopped Syracuse. Yeah, best and
worst of the weekend. As always on Monday, what you
saw that you liked, you didn't like, we'll get to
your phone call. Seaton got a poll question for us
for the first hour of the program.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Yeah, I'm calling this the come back to haunt you
game from this weekend? Oh what does they come back
to haunt you game this weekend? Say the Broncos losing
to the Chargers couldn't come back to haunt them? Falcons Panthers.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
What the heck happened? What the heck happened. I'll give
you one of those games a year. But you can't
even And then they let go their longtime kicker and
coup and then Romo comes in. They should have Tony
Romo kicking. They might have had better results there. You
can't get a field goal and then you bench Michael
(11:42):
Pennix Junior the third shoot.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
What other uh, let's see we got the Rams Eagles.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know if that loss, you know,
you lose and you had a chance to win. I
don't Well, sometimes losses count like one and a half losses.
You know, does that herds you a home field? Do
you win your division? You know, Chargers have won all
three games they have been against divisional opponents, I believe.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
So you have.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
I mean, that's great momentum there. And when you have
one of those losses, just you know, at the end
of the year, is Denver looking at that and going
you know that they might look at the Cold's game
because that's the one you know they should have won
and didn't. That might be the one where you go, hey,
that cost us, Yes, Todd ken Good or very good
(12:36):
teams have moral victories.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
We always focus on the beds for the moral victory,
Like for the Rams, that's not a moral victory.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Say well, it was against the Super Bowl champs on
their field. They should have won the game. When you're
up twenty six seves, Yes, yes, I think if it
would been reversed and you know they were they were
the ones coming back, and then you go, okay, man,
you had a pretty good stand against a really good team.
I mean the Eagles weren't anything special until they needed
(13:02):
to be. And then Jalen Hurts all of a sudden,
you know, look great and leading them to three touchdowns.
But to lose like that, that that's that's one of
those It stays with you. It feels like a little
bit longer. Who else is on the list?
Speaker 6 (13:15):
Seeding?
Speaker 5 (13:16):
On that list, I have Packers, Browns and Patriots Steelers.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Oh boy, well, if you believe in the Patriots, then
that's that's probably the game that's going to keep you
out of the playoffs. And you have the fumbles and
they are you know, you're you're scoring, you're moving the ball.
On the Steelers, Oh yeah, that one's tough, tough, that's tough.
(13:45):
That's not idea the pack the Packers probably you know
that that won't hurt them. Now, maybe home field advantage
that that's whenever I see a loss that it is
that bad for a team that's that good. And I
always think, Okay, are you on the road in the
second round of the playoffs?
Speaker 6 (14:01):
You know, and and and.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
That's where championships are, you know, one and loss. When
you think about did we have home field advantage? You know,
now the Chiefs have gone wherever they need to go,
they can win. But some of these other teams, like
this game with the Lions and the Ravens tonight, this
might be one of those home field advantage type things.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
Patrick maholds he doesn't carry any he didn't play him anywhere.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Jill don wins Collins Road like this very serviceable.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Yes, PAULI.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
I going back to the Patriots five turnovers, they're one
and three. They could be three and oh in the
next few weeks. The Patriots have the Panthers, the Saints,
the Titans, and the Browns with the Bills mixed in there,
but a bunch of winnable games. They could have been
in a great position. Now they kind of cooled off.

The way tire buying should be. Lewis Riddick a former
executive front office executive defensive back and he was on
(15:13):
the call for Clemson and Syracuse. We'll talk to him.
We'll also get you ready for the Lions and the
Raven Steve Young a little later on Mike Florio from
Pro Football Talk. We'll stop by as well. Take a
break back after this Dan Patrick's Show.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
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 app.
Speaker 7 (15:38):
Hey, we're Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio every day
five to seven pm Eastern. But here's the thing, we
never have enough time to get to everything we want
to get.
Speaker 8 (15:46):
To, and that's why we have a brand new podcast
called Over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun
in our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for. Yeah, you in me.
Speaker 7 (16:01):
Well you know what it's called over promise. You should
be good at it because you've been over promising women
for years.
Speaker 8 (16:05):
Well, it's a Cavino and Rich after show, and we
want you to be a part of it. We're gonna
be talking sports, of course, but we're also going to
talk life and relationships. And if Rich and I are
arguing about something or we didn't have enough time, it
will continue on our after show called over Promised.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Well, if you don't get enough.
Speaker 7 (16:20):
Covino and Rich, make sure you check out over Promised
and also uncensored by the way, so maybe we'll go
at it even a little harder. It's gonna be the
best after show podcast.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Of all time.
Speaker 8 (16:29):
There you go, over promising. Remember you could see it
on YouTube, but definitely join us. Listen over Promised with
Cavino and Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or
wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Mike Colt's finally punted and they don't have a turnover
yet this year. I like these public apologies by analysts
to Danny Dimes. I mean it's early, they're playing well.
I thought that he would be a Pro Bowl caliber
quarterback this year. And you know Jonathan Taylor's been great. Yes,
Marvin comeback player. Well, i'd say right now, probably so.
(17:04):
But they finally punted on their third drive. So that
was a streak of nineteen drives without a punt. That's
the longest such streak to begin a season since at
least two thousand.
Speaker 9 (17:18):
Ooh, how stall of a day? Stant of to day,
statuta day, scant outa day. This is the stule of
the day.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Chiefs fan Melissa Ethridge, thank you. Brought to you by
Panini America, the official trading cards of the program. Lewis
Riddick on the call for Syracuse win at Clemson. He's
got Florida State Virginia coming up on Friday on the
mother Ship, and then he'll be doing one of the
Monday night games Jets and the Dolphins, also on ESPN. So, Lewis,
(17:53):
what I love about you as an analyst when I'm
listening to you call the Syracuse Clemson game is you
don't hide your distaste for something when something is bad
or something bothers you. You don't try to mask that
you've grown Sometimes. I appreciate that so very enjoyable listening
(18:15):
to you guys do that game. At what point did
you think Syracuse was a better team than Clemson.
Speaker 6 (18:23):
Well, I don't know if they're well, let's just say
this one through ont's to say eighty. I don't know
if they're a better team in terms of the individual players.
I think Clemson is very talented as far as the
kind of kids they have on the roster. Yeah, but
that makes it even worse. Exactly exactly, that's my point.
(18:46):
That's my point. I think right out of the gate
you could see that Syracuse had a different mentality. And look,
Devo told us that when we talked to him. Really,
this game is about a mentality. It's about how are
guys or are our guys going to go ahead and
play up to their potential? Are they going to accept
the challenge? Are they gonna be sick and tired of
(19:07):
being sick and tired of losing the two games that
they lost to Tech into the LSU, which are basically
what one possession type games where they could have won
the game, And now are they gonna rise up? And
earlier in the game you saw they weren't ready for it,
and Syracuse was like guess what. We're pulling out all
the stops, fran Brown said, We're pulling out all the stops.
We're putting the ball up in the air. We're gonna
put it up to our sixty three six four wide
(19:28):
receivers who we think has an advantage. We're gonna have
surprise on side kicks. We're gonna run the football better,
and we've run it in the past two years, right
at the heart of your team, where you supposedly have
two or maybe three first rounders on your defensive line,
and we're gonna smack them right in the mouth. And
how are you gonna respond? How are you gonna respond? Clemson?
And right out of the gate, I was sitting there going,
(19:49):
they're not And how many people picked them on game day?
How many people picked them, probably in our own crew,
to think this is a get right game for Clemson.
They're gonna blow Syracuse out. Syracuse struggled with yukon. Syracuse
got beat up by Tennessee in Week one. There's no
way they can play with him. I'm telling you, as
you know you've covered sports for a long time, Football
(20:13):
in particular is about an attitude and the mentality and
there's something wrong with the attitude, the mindset, and the
mentality of the players at Clemson right now. For whatever reason,
they are just not able to dial in and maintain
consistent performance. And fran Brown, you better get the guy
(20:34):
some respect. After the season he had last year, cos
in that team to ten and two, and they give
him the one of the hardest schedules in all of
FBS this year, and now he comes out and goes
down to Death Valley and wins there like they won.
That guy is for real, man, they are for real.
Syracuse is on the up and up.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
These things don't happen overnight. Mike Gundhy didn't forget how
to coach football at Oklahoma State and Dabbo didn't forget
to how to coach at Clemson. But it doesn't feel
like they are caught up with the times of college football.
Saban talked about this. This drove him out of the game.
You gotta be anil, you gotta be transferred portal friendly,
(21:16):
and you know these are these are Hall of Fame
coaches that are getting embarrassed.
Speaker 6 (21:22):
You know what. Look, I love Nick to death. Okay,
obviously the guy taught me basically everything I know about
football him and built. I don't necessarily agree that you
have to be like gung ho, like one hundred percent
into the nil transfer portal arena in order to compete. Look, obviously,
when you look at a team like Florida State that
(21:46):
revamps their offensive line, revamps both coordinators, and all of
a sudden, they go from a what were they two
and twelve last year? I mean, and I saw that.
I saw the beginning of that slide last year, and
we did their game against Boston College to now this
year being the seventhenth great team in the country we're
gonna see on And they did it in large part
by getting a new quarterback, getting a new offensive coordinator,
holding new offensive line, a bunch of guys coming on
(22:07):
the defensive side, and all of a sudden, it turns
Davie's got good players. You know, they got Will Helt
out of the transfer portal from Purdue. Who's their best
defensive player this year? But Peter Woods, TJ. Parker, and
these guys Sammy Brown, Wade Wood as Brian westco these
duds are all four and five star kids. They're all
(22:29):
four and five star guys who are good player. There's
something though, that doesn't connect. That doesn't that they're not
able to get across to these guys as far as
playing consistently for sixty minutes and from week to week,
there's just something weird. Look Bill Bill just revamped his
entire roster. Belichick down in North Carolina. Right, They're all
in the transfer portal. Deon's all in the transfer portal
(22:50):
out in Colorado. It's not working for them. It's not
all of a sudden putting them at the top of
the heap. I think what they're what people are are saying, though,
is maybe Dabo could be a little bit more selective
and a little bit more of a participant in terms
of finding maybe a couple more pieces that could help
get him back into the national title contention picture. And
(23:11):
I don't disagree with that, But I don't think that
all of a sudden he is doing something that everyone
needs to like hammer him for him and say, well,
you know what, he's just lost it because he doesn't
want to play in the transfer a portal. Nick also
has been the person who has said this, if you
you can go into transfer a portal and you can
go gung ho and you can throw a bunch of
(23:32):
money at these guys if you want. But if you've
picked the wrong guys, as he says, you're s hi
t out of luck, and then then what then what
are you gonna do? So I think there's a fine line, man,
there's a fine line.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Are there any great change in college football?
Speaker 6 (23:53):
I don't know if there's great there? Look, I think
right now, I think Miami has the potential to be
a great team, I think, but George is going to
be there in the end. We'll we'll we'll see what
Ohio State looks like when it's all said and done.
(24:14):
I think there there's a different We'll see what Penn State.
We're gonna find out about them this week against Oregon.
I don't know if there's great teams. I don't know
if there's one team that's separating themselves from everyone else.
But I think we have some very very quality teams
right now that it's going that is going to make
uh the CFP very very interesting and very very hotly contested,
(24:35):
which I think is this great for Cougela. Well you
see it with the ratings so far this year, it's
it's as good as season as I can remember recently.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Lewis Riddick to the mother ship. He's got the Jets
Dolphins next Monday night. He'll have Virginia Florida State coming
up on Friday night. Let me turn our attention to
the NFL. The Jackson Dart Do you play him the
easy man? They looked uninspired against the Chiefs, And I'm
(25:03):
just not sure when is a good time to bring
in a rookie quarterback now.
Speaker 6 (25:08):
Now it's it's it's tough. Look. I respect Russ, I
really do. I respect his entire career, his process, how
he's conducted himself, all that. I think obviously we have
to kind of look and you know, with proper context,
the performance that he had a week ago against Dallas.
We saw what Dallas is defensively, we saw it yesterday.
(25:32):
They're gonna struggle. They'll be the worst defense in the
league this year. We also saw what Russ looks like
against the championship caliber defense, which is what Kansas City has.
And we saw how he looked in crunch times like
I couldn't understand some decision making. He was that that
that you saw on display from him late in that
football game, throwing the football out of the back of
the end, it's like, Rus, what are you doing? Like,
you're not even giving you guys a chance? What do
(25:52):
you like? Come on, I don't. I don't believe in
the whole you ruined quarterbacks by playing them too early
in particular, Well, let me put it this way. It's
a case by case thing. We saw it last year
with Drake May. Maybe a lot of people thought you
would ruin Drake May in his rookie season if you
played him too early. He inspired the football team. Okay,
(26:15):
you thought, you know, maybe in Washington Jay and Daniels.
Can he handle being the starting quarterback from week one? Yeah?
He handled it just fine. He took them all the
way to the NFC title game. I think Jackson played
a lot of football Ole Miss. He was very well
schooled at an SEC school. He infuses that football team
with really with confidence. You can see they're starting to
lose the leak neighbors. From a metal standpoint. He looked
(26:36):
so he looked so distraught again last night. It's like, look,
you gotta be careful. You gotta be careful. You got
to kind of like safeguard the rest of the football team,
you know, as far as keeping these guys engaged, and
I think Jackson could do that for the rest of
this team. He could give them some hope. He can
get the fan base some hope, although they're not the
ones playing the games. Long story short, put him in
there now, But do you put him in there now?
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Putting him in there for a home game against the
Chargers or a road game against the Saints.
Speaker 6 (27:04):
I think I had mentioned, like back in the preseason
that that game against the Saints on the road would
probably be a good time to put him in there
because he's on the road against him maybe a quote
unquote inferior opponent than what the Chargers look like right now,
So maybe that is the time. I don't know. I
would just do it much sooner rather than later. I
wouldn't be opposed to doing it this coming week. Obviously.
(27:25):
You would like for it to be a setup to
where he could come out of the gates really humming
and on fire and feeling confident and not having the
weight of the home crowd on his shoulders. But I
don't think Jackson really cares. I think the guy's played
enough football at a high enough level when you're talking
about college to where he doesn't really care about that
and honestly, this offense, the kind of things that they
do with this offense when he's in there, the way
(27:46):
they run, the hurry up, the way in which they
spread it out and kind of have him do a
lot of the things he did at all. Miss. Look,
I think that's gonna work regardless of whether you're in
New Orleans or you're at home against a tough opponent
like the Chargers. Just put him in there. This team needs,
they need an infusion of energy because right now, I mean,
they just look like dead man walking again. And how
(28:06):
many years has that been the case at the beginning
of the season with the Giants consecutively. Now this is
the same old story.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
I mentioned this to start the show. Sometimes you have
a win that feels like it's one and a half wins,
or you have a loss that's one and a half
losses like the Rams, that feels like that's one and
a half losses, that you're blowing them out, you're on
the road, and then you lose in dramatic fashion.
Speaker 6 (28:32):
Yeah, this is where coaching and leadership comes into play,
because you're right, this can have this can have like
a lingering hangover type of effect right where you're like
still sitting there a week later, going, damn, how did
we lose that?
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Well?
Speaker 6 (28:45):
Were we have twenty six to seven at half time?
I mean we're absolutely rolling and all of a sudden
Aj Brown takes the game over. We have two block
field goals, one return for a touch, and we lose
the game on that. Yeah, you have to like quickly
try and find a way to turn the page. That's on.
That's gonna be on Sean that's gonna be on Matthew Stafford,
that's gonna be on Jared Verst, that's gonna be on
the dudes to say, hey, look, we gotta flush this thing,
(29:06):
as painful as it is, because we know we're a
good football team. We had this team down. I mean
we were absolutely stomping their backouts. Let me let them
back in it. So leadership that's where it comes into play.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
I'm not sure I have a strong opinion on the
Bears or Cowboys. When I'm watching that game and it's over,
I don't know how good the Bears are and I
don't know how good the Cowboys are. Yeah, do you
have an assessment of these Do you know who these
teams are going to be? This year.
Speaker 6 (29:39):
I think when it comes to the Cowboys, I think
they are exactly who they look like, which is a
team that will be able to put up some points
when Dak is on, and if the offensive line stays healthy,
they should be able to run it ad adequately. But defensively,
they are just not a very stout, tough, physical, grinding,
(30:04):
gritty defense that can stop the run. And they give
up way too many explosives in the past game and
I just don't see that changing. You can't really change
that kind of thing midstream from a talent infusion standpoint,
because where are you gonna get the players?
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Well, they paid those defensive backs too.
Speaker 6 (30:22):
You're right, But you know what, Treyvon doesn't look the
same does he isn't like it's the same wheels. They're
safeties in their corners don't communicate very well together. You
saw a week ago against the Giants the number of
coverage buss Yeah, you know where people are not playing
in Unison. They don't rush the passer with consistency. Kenny
Clark wasn't gonna all of a sudden make them a
top five run stuffing defense. What are the Bear What
(30:44):
did the Bears do? They ran the ball like eleven
or twelve straight times on them on like this groeling
like nine minute drive. I mean, that's the kind of
stuff that should never happen at the NFL level. You
can do that in college, you shouldn't do that in
the NFL level. To anybody. People are just that. People
are really challenging Dallas's manhood from a physicality standpoint, and
they have no answers for it. And I think that's
(31:04):
gonna be the case with Chicago. Chicago's trending the right way.
Ben Johnson will get that place going and get and
he will get Caleb going, and he will even on
his performances. And we know Dennis Allen is a very
good defensive coordinator. He's always been a good defensive coordinator.
If I'm putting on if I'm betting on anybody of
those two teams, I'm for sure putting my money on Chicago.
(31:25):
There's no question about that.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
If the Cowboys offered you the GM job, would you
pounce on it?
Speaker 6 (31:30):
I think anybody would simply because it's Dallas, right, It's Dallas.
But I mean obviously it would, you know, you would,
You would hope that it would come with some stipulations,
but I think at the same time you also know
that it will never be just your job. But but
Dallas was like my squad as a kid. I love
the Dallas cut. I love Tony Dorsett more than life,
(31:54):
so of course I would be interested in it. But
that'll never happen, so I don't even really think about it.
It will never happen for anyone.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
You all in on the Chargers absolutely.
Speaker 6 (32:05):
I think Jim Hardball has such a unique connection with
today's players and with that quarterback and with Justin in particular.
I think the leadership structure on that football team in
the locker room between Justin, Joe Wall, Keenan Allen on
the offensive side, Khalil although he's hurt right now, but
(32:25):
he'll be fine dayon, Henley Derwin James on the defensive side.
This team is they believe now. They believe that they're
well rounded enough football team to deal with anybody in
the AFC. And I think you're gonna see that and
for them to come out in three straight division games
like that and win them all. They are just they
are right now infused with so much confidence and so
(32:46):
much like just willingness to kind of put in the
work and do whatever Jim asked them to do. That's
a very powerful combination. They're gonna be tough to deal with.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Great to talk to you has always save travels. Thank
you that uh Lewis Riddick of the Mothership. Former defensive back.

you doing.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
I said it, I said to myself, I said, I
don't want no fingernails. Look like freaking Joe Montana Danny
two hundred ninety eight yards, four freaking touchdowns. Big defense sucks.
We know that deeper flute sucks. Defense sucks. Secondaries awful,
no path rush, but Deck and them it up fourteen
(35:01):
points against the team that gave up a fifty burger
to Jared Golf and the Lions. The problems are everywhere
except in the kicking position. Shot in the Highbury doesn't
know what he's doing. Jerry's convalescent. Steven's got a silver
spoon so far down his throat he can't see straight.
Jordan Lewis gone stiff on Gilbour going, Danny, I skipped
(35:22):
soccer games, right, I got kids to play soccer. I
skipped those games for the Cowboys. Well, my eldest is
now old enough to understand football, and she says, Daddy,
why do you watch the Cowboys shuck when you can
come watch me win? So now I'm gonna be watching
soccer all freaking weekend. Danny.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Uh, probably similar scoring to the Cowboys.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
Oh my god, night through the heart. You've got no soul.
It's just the jet. And you know what I'm scared
of next week? What the hell is Napoleon? It's gonna
dial up for us in Dallas with that revenge angle,
Mike is gonna kill Dak.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Okay, do you want to watch that game with me
and have another streaming party?
Speaker 3 (36:13):
Do you want to watch a man cow I.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Don't want to take advantage of your heartbreak.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Do you want to watch a man disappear into diet
cokes and cigarette Danny?
Speaker 2 (36:23):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (36:23):
I want to do it, Danny kat There's no other
way for me to watch it.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Paulie, being a Bears fan, had a message for you.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
I just want to say thanks, Well your defense. Shay
is like the toinn of defense you want to play
when it's homecoming weekend and everyone's back in town.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
Wow, it's true. It's those two pass plays they gave
up back to back Danny in the What in the
hell is Ebra Flues doing? Is it just a talent thing?
The communication?
Speaker 10 (36:49):
It's just bad. This is really bad.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
Iber Flus finally had a great performance with the Bears.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
That'll do it.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
That'll do okay, all right, I'll talk to you soon. A. Yeah,
I want to do another the watch party, but I
want him to be there if they're playing, Like, I
want to do a watch party where the Cowboys might
do well, because it's tough to be around Shay when
(37:20):
they're not doing well. I mean, he's really a sad,
sad person when they're not doing well. Brandon in California, Hi, Brandon,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 3 (37:32):
Hey?
Speaker 6 (37:32):
Dan?
Speaker 11 (37:32):
Second time, long time, still six foot now I'm a
slim one n.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
I have two best of the weekends.
Speaker 11 (37:40):
My best watching my Philadelphia Eagles win in dramatic fashion.
My other best of the weekend is watching those Dallas
Cowboys fall apart in Chicago. And a quick stat of
the day Jordan Davis, which is the top speed of
eighteen point five nine miles per hour on the return,
the fastest speed by a player over three hundred and
(38:02):
thirty pounds since twenty seventeen.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
Stead of the day, stat of the day, that bus
stat of the day, stat of the day here comes
that what stat of the day? To be fair to
the stat I don't know how many guys over three
hundred and thirty pounds get the opportunity to run the
ball back for a touchdown al in Atlanta, Hi l Morning,
(38:30):
Dan Morning.
Speaker 10 (38:33):
I had a best, but to mention it in the
same breath with my worst, it's just it's it's consulting
to the best, so I won't even say it. So Saturday,
I was taken to an all day in meditation retreat
that I left rejuvenated, optimistic, and excited for my football weekend.
I had the LINI on DVR. I wasn't gonna let
(38:55):
anything spoil it. I was going to go home and
watch it. And the only things worse then having to
watch that game line is having to watch that game
on tape delay. I felt like every time I was
fast warding through a commercial, I was just asking myself. Why,
But at least I have the Falcons on Sunday and
look going against the Panthers. Yes, this is a getway
(39:17):
game we need. And then the game starts. Our offense
can't move through the red zone. Our defense can't stop
the Panthers. The Carolina Panthers look like the nineties forty
nine ers compared to our defense. Our kicker can't hit
a freaking field goal. I can't take it anymore. This
(39:39):
is why I didn't give them my heart last week
after a win, and I just cannot take this anymore.
But I can't break up with them though. I guess
I just got a cheat on them behind their back
with the Chiefs. Thank God, day find me one a game, right?
Speaker 3 (39:53):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (39:53):
Yes, Paully.
Speaker 4 (39:54):
The good news for the Falcons. Your next two games
are versus the Commanders and the Bills.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Buddha in so San Francisco, Good morning, Buddha, what a.
Speaker 12 (40:04):
DP Happy Monday, boys, Stay strong, frid Seine, Nick Dan,
I woke up to an earthquake out here this morning,
and the earth was rolling out here like my Niners and.
Speaker 10 (40:17):
Like my man.
Speaker 13 (40:18):
Guts in La says, Then, when Dallas loses America, wins
baby best.
Speaker 10 (40:26):
Of the weekend.
Speaker 13 (40:26):
In the endings of both the Rams Eagles and the
Bucks Jets games were epic. I was in a bar
here in San Francisco and seeing all the Rams fans
crying and then simultaneously watching the Jets fans prematurely celebrating
while Baker Mayfield was licking as chopped in those cream
sickle unis on the sidelines was so fine and worse
(40:49):
of the weekend. And please tell me you saw Nate
Burleson on the CBS pregame Dan. I mean, I almost
fell out of my chair when I saw him. He
looked like he was a combination of Walfrasier and a
Savannah banana commentator.
Speaker 10 (41:04):
When I saw him, I was immediately like.
Speaker 2 (41:07):
Man, thank you Buddha. I love the tribute to Brett
Musberger and the CBS pregame show that started fifty years ago.
I thought that they did a wonderful job. You know,
the commercials were fifty years ago, just the graphics, animation,
(41:27):
It did a really wonderful job and a great tribute
to Brett Musburger. Update the poll results got a new
poll question. Mike Florio is going to join us? Has
