Bengals are getting seven and a half and Jets and Dolphins. There'll be a lot of Jets fans in Miami and the Jets are getting two and a half. You start to think about, now, this is early to think about this, but you start to think about worst case scenarios, and this is a worst case scenario. If the Dolphins happen to lose this game, and you wonder if management would make a change there. You also wonder at a certain point, do you start trading away assets if you know you're not going to be in the mix here and if you're going to replace your coach as well. I don't know if you survive losing to the Jets at home. Jets are once again getting two and a half points eight seven seven three DP show email address DP at Danpatrick dot com, Twitter handle at TP show.

Speaker 2: It's amazing the number of people who came up to me this weekend. Random people be like, hey, I'm all in with Todd. I agree, or be just somebody. Now, these are just people coming up. They don't even introduce themselves. They're like, hey, what it's Todd thinking you got to get out of the left lane. It's a passing lane. I said, I know, the very passionate topic. Thank you TODs. But yes, Paul, do.

00:02:10
Speaker 6: You find yourself now driving to work and in traffic looking at things differently on.

00:02:14
Speaker 3: The left lane?

00:02:15
Speaker 6: Yes, I'm analyzing it.

00:02:17
Speaker 3: Yes, I stay out of the left lane.

00:02:20
Speaker 2: I don't even want to be in the left lane, just gonna be right in the middle or the right lane, just because of Todd.

00:02:25
Speaker 5: That's the right place.

00:02:26
Speaker 2: Stat of the day brought to you by Penny America, the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. We will get to more phone calls. We got to settle on a poll question. Gerald McCoy played the game and now he's an analyst for NFL Network.

00:02:40
Speaker 3: He'll join us.

00:02:41
Speaker 2: Coming up a tie last night, entertaining tie and uh, I think I have more questions about the Packers than I do the Cowboys. Like I sort of know who the Cowboys are. They're gonna be okay, they'll be they'll be fun, entertaining. But the Packers defense, that's that was what was surprising, because you're supposed to be really good and now all of a sudden, you don't look at the Packers, you know, after the loss against Cleveland, like, man, you guys are stale, struggling. And prior to that, everybody loved it. It's like Packers, man, their best team in football. And I was like, it's only a couple of weeks here, and you know, We kicked the Lions to the curb. We kicked the Chiefs to the curb all of a sudden, you see when Patrick Mahomes has a little bit of speed there to break things up. Big difference. But the questions, the questions with the Ravens, you're a bad defense. I don't think you're fixing that. That's not even They're not even bad. They're embarrassing, Terry, They're embarrassing. They're embarrassingly bad. And you're watching and you're going, and you know, Lamar got hurt, but they were getting blown out before he got hurt. Now if he's going to be out for a couple of weeks, and you start to look at this, and I think I think we were okay that they they went toe to toe with Buffalo, they went toe to toe with the Lions. But you're seeing a pattern of how many points that they're giving up. And if Lamar is not Lamar is gonna have to be in a shootout every single week.

00:04:16
Speaker 6: Yeah, Paul, the Ravens had the third ranked offense scoring in football. They're ranked last in the entire league in defense in both yards and scoring.

00:04:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I like what I saw with Kansas City. They it just had a different vibe to them, energetic. I think when when you're watching the offense, it's like, Okay, Xavier Worthy, come on down. And very few players in the game who were like him. Yes, Mark, you're also worried about Derrick Henry.

00:04:46
Speaker 7: Besides the first game of Buffalo, he just hasn't been himself and he's it feels like he's got the football version of the yips. If you saw people doing the uh the fumbling tactic with him, Yeah, like the little drill because he's so worked up about his fumbling issues.

00:05:02
Speaker 2: They got to figure out how they're going to use him, Like he didn't forget how to run. But and he was on the sidelines. There was a third and one and he's on the sidelines. Horrible call and they have to have him out there, even as a decoy.

00:05:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, but when you give him eight carries, man, I don't know.

00:05:24
Speaker 6: I lack of upset. We're all getting like we're offended by what the defense is doing for the Ravens.

00:05:30
Speaker 3: Well, no, I'm upset with for Derrick Henry because he's our gode.

00:05:33
Speaker 6: But they're such a frustrating team because they're they're really good.

00:05:36
Speaker 8: The Ravens used to lead with their defense. That's that's why it is. It's egregious what that defense is doing to the offense.

00:05:45
Speaker 5: Yeah.

00:05:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's one of those where you go, these guys look out of sink. They can't stop anybody. And I mean this is a Kansas City offense that hasn't been great, and all of a sudden they look like you know, circa twenty nineteen.

00:06:05
Speaker 3: Yes, Mark, have.

00:06:06
Speaker 7: You seen situations on different football teams where one side of the ball is angry with the other because they're not holding up there into the bargain.

00:06:14
Speaker 2: It happened with the Ravens with Trent Dilferd. They just they went to him. Ray Lewis told me the story and Shannon Sharp, you know, echoed the same thing. It was like, Hey, all you got to do is give us ten points. You guys, score ten points, won't win the game. That's all they were asking for. You just get ten and we'll win.

00:06:34
Speaker 3: Yees see.

00:06:35
Speaker 8: To be fair to the Ravens on defense, the injury situation that's true is brutal. Yeah, brutal, that's crisis level. Yeah, but everybody has you know, it's hard to keep your team healthy. It is you know, survival, it's attrition when you and they want to add another game.

00:06:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, nothing to see here, play another game. Everybody gets another paycheck. All right, We'll get to your phone calls coming up. You got baseball starting tomorrow. It's like boom, here's baseball. Europe over Rider over Team USA to win the Ryder Cup. And we talked about that, talked about some of the college football. Rick new highsch will join us later on, will sort through some of the good and bad and ugly. Skyler in Burlington, Hi, Sky, what's on your mind today?

00:07:25
Speaker 9: What's up?

00:07:26
Speaker 10: Dan?

00:07:26
Speaker 11: And I have a bust of the weekend and also an off headline that I think will make Todd crowd. Okay, So best of the Weekend I was catching up on the podcast this weekend, and after the car wreck of last week, I'd like to officially cast my vote for Todd for best and worst of the year. Okay, great content, but such a wild take for.

00:07:49
Speaker 10: Him to be stubborn about.

00:07:52
Speaker 5: Okay.

00:07:52
Speaker 10: And then worst of the weekend was how close the Yanks got to winning the division. I mean instead of getting to buy and potentially home field advantage through the World Series and now we have to play the Sox in the best of three, and you know they've hot.

00:08:06
Speaker 12: Our number all year.

00:08:08
Speaker 10: That's tough. And on the topic of the Giants impressive win, the mock headline Jackson sharp Rookies blowout performance and it's Giants skidded.

00:08:22
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you, thank you, Skyler Christian Syracuse. Hi Chris, what's on your mind today?

00:08:31
Speaker 1: Hey?

00:08:31
Speaker 5: Thanks? Dan?

00:08:32
Speaker 13: Hey, I got best and worst than the comment for you and my best at Dak Prescott and I'd love that one play where he's lobby lobbying for the face mask. Is the place still going on? And I'm with you, guys.

00:08:43
Speaker 14: My tie is so on satisfactory. And I wish the NFL just go back to the fifteen minute overtime. I mean, in that overtime that gives you a third possession And if it was fifteen minutes last night, that game ate ended a tie. And my worst the fans rushing the field and FSU Virginia game.

00:09:01
Speaker 13: Someone's eventually going to get hurt. And Dan, my Cincinnati Reds in the playoffs. I'm so excited, and I'm sure you're going to be the only one listening that knows who this guy is. But the last two weeks, Dan, I've been for good luck. I've been rotating, wearing my home and away Paul Householder Jerseys.

00:09:18
Speaker 2: Oh, Paul Householder is Paul Householder's number twenty one, Chrish.

00:09:25
Speaker 13: Same as Hunter Green.

00:09:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, Dan, you are, You're good And in.

00:09:30
Speaker 13: A short series with the Reds pitching, they're going to be a tough out. And I'll tell you for me, everybody loves Paul's schemes, but I'll tell you I'll take Hunter Green any day of the week.

00:09:38
Speaker 2: Wooh oh, okay, Chris, Chris on fire. James in Virginia, Hi, James.

00:09:48
Speaker 9: Wow, thank you for taking my call.

00:09:50
Speaker 5: Brother.

00:09:50
Speaker 9: Happy Monday. D damn it slut the commanders man big time all the time, every time. And you know I got a lot, Man because it was a crazy weekend of sports.

00:10:00
Speaker 3: Didn't you lose.

00:10:03
Speaker 2: Man?

00:10:04
Speaker 9: You know the jury is still out on Washington man, Davin Jayden gotta come back. But one thing about Washington made.

00:10:09
Speaker 3: But there's no jury out on if they want or lost that you.

00:10:15
Speaker 9: No, I'm just talking about I can't make a decision. They're chewing two. They got a tough stretch coming up. They're in the midst of before out of five game road trip. I think after week nine they don't leave the East Coast but one the Eastern time zone but one time. So it's still a lot of the season left.

00:10:31
Speaker 15: Man.

00:10:31
Speaker 9: I'm just gonna hold out hope that Jayden comes back and does what Jayden does, man, and just makes plays. But for me, man, uh, it started with a baseball for me real quick, DC, I guess I gotta I got a lot for you, man. Amazing. Man, Oh, that is just horrible. They had the best record in baseball in July and to miss the playoffs, especially all they had to do was get a w on the last game and to get shut out horrible. I'll take the Yankees over the Cubs in the series. Man, Tagging picked against the Dodgers, but I don't know why this morning if I felt the Covey were looking good, Man, but the Bronx bombers. Judge's gonna get his ring.

00:11:08
Speaker 16: Man.

00:11:09
Speaker 9: And in football in college football, Ohio State, Oregon, Alabama huge wins on the road.

00:11:14
Speaker 5: Man.

00:11:15
Speaker 9: It is tough to win on the road in college football, and those are massive victories. LSU. Man, let me down without this weekend, Oh, miss if they could run the ball like they ran the ball forty two carries for one hundred and eighty yards. I think one hundred and seventy yards. The sec is wide open. Shambliss made plays all day. I don't know his story where he came from, but being introduced to him was something amazing. But Nesmeyer, I thought he was going to be the difference for LSU. But he was overthrowing guys and pushing guys out of bounds on deep balls. He just wasn't giving his players the shot. He's gonna have to play better if LSU wants any chance of making the playoffs. On to the NFL.

00:11:52
Speaker 3: Real Quick were talking about come on, James, I just.

00:11:58
Speaker 9: Loved sports Man, and I'll just hey, all of a sudden, the Chiefs are two and two. You look up, and the last thing I'll say, man, real Quick, is the new kickoff rule is changing games in the NFL. Back in the day, man used to kick it through the end zone and get the ball on the twenty yard line. Now teams are getting the ball on the forty. You saw Seattle win the game at the last seconds. They just had a chance with a kick. That new kickoff rule is turning into something real. And you guys have a great one. Thanks for letting me run. Man, you have a great day.

00:12:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, the kickoff is changed the game, the field possession position and you know, getting it to thirty five forty yard line, you only need a couple of first downs. You're in field goal range the way these guys are kicking field goals.

00:12:42
Speaker 5: Now.

00:12:43
Speaker 2: Final results of the first hour poll question Seaton and what are we going to go with an hour two?

00:12:49
Speaker 8: Yeah, for the first hour, we put up their worst Weekend Coaches Edition. M Kirby, Smart, Brian Kelly, James Franklin, Sam Pittman.

00:12:58
Speaker 3: Well, Pittman lost his job. He did, so I would say.

00:13:02
Speaker 8: Well, he's in third place right now.

00:13:05
Speaker 2: People might not know who he is and that he lost his job, but yeah, he got blown out by.

00:13:11
Speaker 8: Notary and now James Franklin has fifty four percent of that vote, followed by Brian Kelly.

00:13:16
Speaker 3: I got Nitney Lyon. Fans are all over me here like.

00:13:19
Speaker 2: Hey, I'm just telling you, I don't I could not care less one way or another. I'm just asking is good good enough at Penn State? And if it is fine, and you're gonna have a winning record. You're gonna have double digit wins, but you know this is a pattern. You're not winning big games, which is obvious. But he wouldn't keep his job at these other schools. They would not allow that. In Michigan, Ohio State, Alabama, Georgia. You wouldn't keep your job. That was the point I was trying to make. If you're four and twenty one against ranked teams, that's.

00:14:03
Speaker 8: A habit, that's a pattern, that's now fifty six percent of the James frank Yeah, okay, yeah, But.

00:14:09
Speaker 7: If you're a Penn State fan, wouldn't you take a bunch of ten win seasons and maybe a couple of bad losses against really good teams instead of say, if I win eight games every year, but I beat Michigan in Ohio State.

00:14:21
Speaker 17: Well, no, I want both. Why can't I have both? Your Penn State, your Penn State. Maybe it's a generational thing. I don't remember Penn State.

00:14:30
Speaker 2: Being well no, even now, he look at the talent that's come out of Penn State. I mean he's sending guys to the NFL offensively and defensively. Yeah, Paulie, there's.

00:14:41
Speaker 6: A feel with James Franklin that the bigger the game, the more not saying he's going to blow it, but his program is going to blow it.

00:14:48
Speaker 3: And if you look.

00:14:48
Speaker 6: At the SEC and LSU, LSU hasn't been in the playoffs, the College Football Playoff since twenty nineteen. Not acceptable down.

00:14:55
Speaker 3: There, Yeah, not acceptable.

00:14:58
Speaker 2: And it just feels tenuous with Brian Kelly at LSU for some reason.

00:15:03
Speaker 3: It just does.

00:15:03
Speaker 2: Whether you know, yes, who do we have on swagou or he said that, you know that he's rock solid down there at LSU. I'm like, okay, I don't. I don't have anybody telling me one way or another. It just feels weird because he's not one of theirs. It's like Kailin de Boor is not one of theirs. Hey, it was hot at you dub and you got him and timing, but that's.

00:15:30
Speaker 3: Not a guy.

00:15:31
Speaker 2: That's not your guy, your kind of coach. Same with Brian Kelly, accent and all yes Mormon ed Ordron was their guy.

00:15:39
Speaker 3: He sounded like their guy. He became one of their guys.

00:15:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I got it o back uh ed o character Yeah yeah.

00:15:55
Speaker 3: Paul fifteen, twenty nineteen, ed.

00:15:58
Speaker 2: Oh, he put the oh that time that Yeah, that voice that all right, let's take a break here, we'll come back. Gerald McCoy, I'm gonna ask him to explain why we're getting all of these kick We have a record setting start so far in the NFL with the number of block punchs, field goals and extra points. Why is that We're back after this Dan Patrick Show.

00:17:02

00:17:42
Speaker 2: Age seven seven three DP show more phone calls, Best and worst of the weekend. What you saw that you liked you didn't like? Mine was easy. I went to see Nate BARGATSI saw him at Madison Square Garden.

00:17:54
Speaker 5: He was great.

00:17:55
Speaker 2: He was very His humor is very very really he'll give you a story, he'll give you a scenario, and then you've either done it yourself or you know somebody who has been in a situation like that. But Jimmy Fallon warmed up for him. Nate's dad is a stand up comedian magician.

00:18:17
Speaker 3: He was also there as well. Packed house.

00:18:20
Speaker 2: I think he sold out the garden three consecutive nights, but entertaining. Got to meet him backstage, set a load to him and fallen. Chris Rock was there. That's pretty good when Chris Rock comes out to watch your set. But very nice the whole crew. If you get an opportunity, go see it. I brought my family there, went to see him and family friendly.

00:18:46
Speaker 3: Yes, Paul, I wonder how.

00:18:47
Speaker 6: Much tougher it is for comedians to play a huge haul like that, like a monstrous setting.

00:18:54
Speaker 2: You know, they make it intimate. I remember when you two they played. They had the big heart, like you could be in the heart, like they had a a I forget what tour that was, but they would play these stadiums, but it felt intimate because they were sort of playing to that smaller group but playing to the entire stadium. And you know, the stage is right in the middle of Madison Square Garden and he's walking around and so yes, there are people all the way up in the raptors, but he's he made it.

00:19:28
Speaker 3: Seem like he's just talking to you, and he's.

00:19:31
Speaker 2: Very you know, his his inflection, his voice. It doesn't very it just very conversational. Something you know about going to McDonald's in a drive through boom, everybody's been there before. You're talking about, you know, your daughter having a sleepover and how it changed his life.

00:19:51
Speaker 3: But it's just simple things.

00:19:52
Speaker 2: But he has a wonderful way of getting humor out of something like that.

00:19:58
Speaker 8: Yes, that was the Elevation Tour which was for You Too, which was off of the album All That you Can't Leave Behind. Yeah, so that was like early two thousand and two thousand and one is Yeah, but.

00:20:10
Speaker 2: They made it, they made it feel intimate with that concert. Gerald McCoy, NFL Network analyst, former defensive tackle and a six time Pro bowler, joining us on the program Good to see you again. Give me the science behind blocking field goals, punts, extra points because we're we're at a historical rate so far.

00:20:32
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is insane. Uh.

00:20:35
Speaker 12: First off, I think that I think what we're seeing right now is we're seeing importance of all three phases of the game. You know, we preach it aside the building offense, defense, special teams, and uh punt team, flipping the field, put block, you know, having an opportunity to block the punt.

00:20:56
Speaker 5: We've seen it.

00:20:57
Speaker 12: Unfortunately with my books, yesterday kind of was a big switching and changing the game with US versus the Eagles, and then you got field goal protection.

00:21:06
Speaker 5: Then you got field goal block.

00:21:08
Speaker 12: And what a lot of people don't know is we actually draw plays for these things. So it's whether it's right block, it's left block, it's middle block.

00:21:16
Speaker 5: There's different things. So when you go through the.

00:21:21
Speaker 12: Motions in practice, this is why the coaches, you know, like we were so focused on oh well, we got these plays on offense, we got these plays on defense.

00:21:29
Speaker 5: When we do special.

00:21:29
Speaker 12: Teams, O line D line is just like, oh, okay, well we're just gonna whatever. Well, when you take it serious, you see what can happen. And when you are kind of bs and through it, these are the things that can happen if you don't if you the end blocker on the end of field goal pro and you don't get your hand all the way out you've seen yesterday, they can knock your hand down and turn that corner on you. These are elite athletes. These are best athletes in the world. So if you're not to take in this part serious, then this is what can happen. But you see how much the third phase of the football could change the game.

00:22:09
Speaker 5: Man, this is this is this is insane what we're seeing right now.

00:22:13
Speaker 2: And you know it's maybe I'm trying to think of an analogy in another sport where this happens and then it changes the momentum, you know, whether it's a home run or a dun or something where it just feels like, oh my god, they blocked the kick or so I don't know.

00:22:33
Speaker 12: Well, uh, Lebron's blocked in the finals versus Golden State. You know, they if if.

00:22:40
Speaker 5: Andre Goudala gets that layup and look and j R.

00:22:44
Speaker 12: Smith doesn't swim down, Lebron doesn't come due to chase down, then we never see the Kyrie shot.

00:22:49
Speaker 5: The game probably goes away.

00:22:51
Speaker 12: If if Monald Genobli hits those three throws versus Miami, you know, then we never see Lebron missed three. Chris Boss tipping back to Realite who hit the historic three. You know, I think those are different examples of if this portion of the game, which is free throws or chase down block you know, field goals and punts are really like because you're sitting still the game stops. So that's similar to shooting free throws. You're sitting here. These free throws are crucial, So I need to make these free throws, you know what I'm saying, or get a get a you know, a timely block like what Lebron did. So I would I would correlate it to situations like that.

00:23:36
Speaker 3: Should we settle for ties have times in the NFL during the inter season?

00:23:40
Speaker 5: No, No, I don't like ties, but don't like ties?

00:23:43
Speaker 6: It up?

00:23:43
Speaker 5: What would you do?

00:23:45
Speaker 12: Uh? They need to try and well, shoot, college football is taking some of the NFL mold. We might as well do some of the stuff that they do. Just go, don't put it over twenty five and let's see what happened, you know. Like, but we got to find a way to not end these games and ties, man, because tis just that don't work out.

00:24:06
Speaker 2: I think everybody was all in on the Packers after what they did to the Lions, and then all of a sudden you lose to the Browns and then you tie.

00:24:12
Speaker 12: Alas there everybody ooh, I was not okay, Well that was not because of two weeks. And I kept saying, it's two weeks and here's why I kept saying you can't go all in. It's because after two weeks, think about what took place. Okay, they had the mic, it comes in. It's like, oh man, first off, this is already playoff team. It was already top ten defense. They were twenty second in pressure rate. So you go out, you address the need. You bring in the guy who led the league of pressure since he stepped foot in the NFL. Of course your pass rush is going to be better. But what happened. They won two games that they were favorite to win at home. Everybody's like, oh, look at what they're doing. Any attention to what happened. They had a Sunday game, they played a Thursday game at home. They didn't have to travel. All they had to do was just go and roll into it with the regular operation. We hadn't seen them hit the road. We hadn't seen them travel, we hadn't seen anything. We hadn't seen them tested. So when people was like, oh, the Packers are the best team right now, the Packers of the I'm like, how they the best team? We haven't seen them do anything. How are they jumping the Eagles? How are they jumping Buffalo? How are they jumping on these people. And that's why I said, we can't just put them above Philly when we've seen Philly be tested. We haven't seen green Bay be tested for us to be saying they're the best. What happened as soon as they hit the road, they lost to Cleveland. Now we've just seen them hit the road. I thought that they were gonna blow Cowboys up. I think most of America thought that this was gonna be a blowout game. But we've seen what happened. So they just always say, you can't crown people super early. You gotta let the season play up. A have a philosophy. You do not know who's who until about week nine of the season. Then you start seeing like some consistency. Okay, this is what they can do, this is what they can't do. Okay, we've seen that. This is kind of like because I remember one time we seen in Pittsburgh steel As going eleven and oh, but everybody was like, well, I don't know, that's kind of like a that's a fluff eleven and oh, that's not a real eleven and oh team.

00:26:21
Speaker 5: So you know, you gotta let the see them play out.

00:26:24
Speaker 12: But I haven't been sold on Green Bay after two weeks, like most people.

00:26:29
Speaker 3: Are, what concerns you the most about the Ravens defense.

00:26:35
Speaker 12: I know they've had injuries, but even with even when they were healthy, you gotta keep people out the end zone, man, And it doesn't matter how many because before yesterday they were averaging thirty seven points a game. Thirty seven points. This is a National football league. If your offense is getting thirty seven points a game, you shouldn't be losing.

00:26:59
Speaker 5: That's just reality. But also.

00:27:05
Speaker 12: Offensively, when you pack the middle of the field, which is what Kansas City did. You pack the middle of the field, you take away all those crossing routes in the middle of the field.

00:27:14
Speaker 5: For Lamar, he struggles.

00:27:16
Speaker 12: To push the ball outside, outside the numbers and make throws where he has to make throws outside the numbers. And that's all Kansas City did yesterday. They made him make throws outside the numbers. And then you get executy. You're worthy back. You score points. You can't depend always depend on your offense to score points like this every day. Look at what the Philadelphia Eagles did. They are finding different ways to win. They won yesterday. The offense wasn't great, but what they do. They got to score on special teams and the defense was lights out. Your offense is not always going to give you thirty seven points. So the other phase of the gay, other two phase of the game have to show up, and defense is just it's bad. Man, It looks thirty. They were giving up thirty points a game and yesterday was just even worse.

00:28:07
Speaker 5: So it just doesn't look good.

00:28:09
Speaker 2: Gerald McCoy, NFL Network analysts. You can catch NFL Network bringing you NFL Game Day kickoff at seven am Eastern the Vikings and the Browns in London on NFL Network. Well, okay, given that the Ravens are banged up, not a good defensive team. How do we then look at the Chiefs because are the Chiefs that good?

00:28:31
Speaker 5: Or yes, yes they are.

00:28:34
Speaker 3: But the Ravens were that bad though, Gerald, Yeah, but also.

00:28:39
Speaker 5: Okay, the Chiefs over the past three.

00:28:42
Speaker 12: Years have been a lot of people say carried by the defense. But as long as fifteen is taking the snaps, they're good. As long as Andy reives calling the play, they're good. We have to look at all the revolving door of the offensive line. Now they got the off of the line of play and the first three weeks. Patrick Mahomes, as great as he is, he's not Lamar Jackson. He can't be leading your team in rushing. He can't do that. Were they able to do yesterday? They able to run the ball one player, one player changed everything. They put it Davire Worthy back in the lineup, and it opened up the entire offense. They were able to do so many different things. Well, you're gonna watch back and watch them with the field of the Eagles. The Eagles were being overly aggressive with the Kansas City Chiefs wad receivers because they weren't afraid of anybody getting open. They weren't afraid of getting deep deep downfield, so they were being overly aggressive. Well, you bring Davie Worthy back and look at everything opens up. Okay, I understand it was the Baltimore Ravens defense, but it's not just about how you're seeing. What you're seeing is how it's being done. Patrick Mahomes didn't look under durest. He didn't look like he was pressive. Get the ball out bath, get the ball out here. If they be worthy here, get open, beat over the top. So now what they're gonna do is they're gonna get healthy, and then they're gonna get Richie Rice back, and then this is where we start to see. Okay, the defense is in place. That's one thing we haven't had to worry about Kansas City. I would be worried about Kansas City if the defense was bad. The defense hasn't been bad. The defense has been in place. They just haven't been able to put up points like they normally do.

00:30:30
Speaker 5: Well.

00:30:30
Speaker 12: Now they're gonna start scoring points, and once they get their whole group back, then we're gonna start seeing the Kansas City that scared everybody again.

00:30:39
Speaker 5: So I think Kansas City is legit.

00:30:41
Speaker 12: That's why I was never worried about them losing those couple of games, because they lost to the Chargers, who hit the ground running. Justin Herbert is coming into us own. I know he's struggled yesterday, but I still believe he's gonna have a great season. They lost to the Champs. Okay, then they won against New York. Obviously it was New York, but we see they not as bad as you think we've seen it. Yesterday it was just who they had at quarterback. But then they won yesterday at home. Now they're gonna get healthy. I think cad I believe that Kansas City is they gonna get back to being that scary team and.

00:31:15
Speaker 2: A rookies cadence at the line of scrimmage quarterback different like do they sound like rookies or sound young when they're calling out plays at the line of scrimmage.

00:31:28
Speaker 12: So I wouldn't say that they say young more than it's not as complex. It's like there's no switch up. So Drew Brees used to Yellow Lady, Old Lady. Yellow Lady says he would switch it up, and then he would he would have different colors and then he would kill kill kill. He's doing a lot at the line, so you never know what's gonna happen. Cam Newton Ready, white Lady. He never would snap right on that. He would switch. He would switch it up. Matt Ryan would switch as up. When you go against he's it. That's why pay they Oh maha, everybody thought the ball was coming, he said, Omaha, I know it wasn't. So when you have a rookie, you know, after a few snaps, if he say this and he say is the boss coming?

00:32:11
Speaker 5: Because he's not. He has so much other things to worry about.

00:32:15
Speaker 12: He can't manipulate the snapcount yet Aaron Rodgers had a phenomenal snap camp. They can manipulate the snap camp because they've done so much other things for so long. The snapcount is just something that they add to their repertoire. And there too bad rookies, you just especially if they if you at home, All rookies are the easiest people to jump the snap camp. They're not changing nothing because they don't. It's not it's not it's too much going on up here. They trying to see, especially if your comfort is doing all this, and then if I know what I played, if I'm playing a rookie, their coach has told him that guy right there, make sure you keep your eyes on him. So now I know he's not gonna switch his snap camp because he's seeing all this, but he knows I'm sitting right here too, and Miles Garrett is over there. No rookie is gonna look and see Miles Garrett and be thinking about let me switch the snap cap.

00:33:05
Speaker 5: They can be thinking, all right, Miles is right.

00:33:08
Speaker 12: Here, let me But that's what what rookies so, you know, So that's the difference. It's not that they sound like rookies is they're not gonna manipulate the snack camp like the Vets will.

00:33:21
Speaker 3: How did Aaron Rodgers sound?

00:33:25
Speaker 8: Oh?

00:33:27
Speaker 3: What was his what was his cadence?

00:33:30
Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers? Uh?

00:33:32
Speaker 12: Aaron Rodgers was green at So when he was when he would when his was so aggressive that you lose sight of all the other things that's taking place. And that's why he caught so many people with that free play. He was phenomenal. What Aaron Rodgers is phenomenal, it is catching people on the field with twelve men. He's he's great at catching people subbing.

00:34:01
Speaker 5: So that's what you gotta be careful with him as your subs.

00:34:03
Speaker 12: If you're gonna sub as soon as the play is over, you got to make sure you know who's coming in and who's coming out. You cannot be getting off the field, and then you just got to be patient, especially when they're at home. When they're at home is when he gives everybody. If you go back and look when he was in Green Bay, when they were at home, is when he got most of those free plays. Because it sat count is so aggressive and it can catch you off guard. Russell Wilson actually has a very good hard.

00:34:31
Speaker 5: Counter's left.

00:34:32
Speaker 3: What's it sound like?

00:34:34
Speaker 5: It's just a loud and aggressive.

00:34:39
Speaker 3: This is real.

00:34:40
Speaker 12: It's just real aggressive, man. I don't know what you're going through on someday. That's all we got chapel the night before dog. Sure, Oh thanks for sharing. Great to talk to you again.

00:34:59
Speaker 5: Yes, thank you so much.

00:35:39
Speaker 4: Vanderbilt gets a fifty five to thirty five win over Utah State sally with three hundred and twenty one yards five tds from Diego Pavia. They scored seventy points against Georgia State last week, first time the Commoners have scored fifty points in consecutive games in one hundred and ten years. Worst of the weekend, Just when we're starting to believe in usc after a four and oho start, they lose at the Buzzer of Illinois, a team who just lost six against Indiana.

00:36:01
Speaker 5: Trojans, gave up over.

00:36:02
Speaker 4: Five hundred yards, couldn't keep the fighting a line from marching downfield to set up the game winning field.

00:36:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was an exciting game, back and forth, uh Seaton.

00:36:11
Speaker 8: My best of the weekend right now. Christian Polisic is on an absolute tear in Syria. He's got six goals and three assists through the first seven games of the season. A c malaner in first largely in partner, he certainly contributed a lot to that, So that's great to see. Heading into the World Cup. We need a guy like him playing well. My worst of the weekend. Ben Johnson going into the halftime interview, just super rude. In his interview with the reporter, there really unnecessarily rude.

00:36:41
Speaker 2: Yeah I didn't see it actually happened, but there are a lot of clips with that. He took offense to being asked about his offense has struggled, and it just it was like an uncomfortable back and forth. Yeah, he's just like, you know, daggers and it's like, oh, really, you think we're supposed to do something differently, what would you do? Yeah, okay, dude, chill out, all right, She's just doing a job.

00:37:09
Speaker 3: And you know, yeah, that's the thing.

00:37:11
Speaker 2: You know, you're gonna be asked a couple of questions, like you agreed to this, Sar're gonna ask you at halftime or pregame. But I mean, Ben, just be bland be bland Johnson. Okay, got to make some changes. That's what we're going to figure out. All right, thank you, coach, see you later.

00:37:29
Speaker 3: That's it, dude. Yeah, chill yeah, Paulie. Ben Johnson did this in week one with the reporter.

00:37:34
Speaker 6: He just jumped her questions like before she could finish them, he started answering it. I think it's one of those things first time being a head coach, you're in a coordinator forever, not used to doing media, and now you have to do media and there's no training tool for it, and it doesn't look good.

00:37:49
Speaker 5: You know.

00:37:50
Speaker 7: Boo hoo oooh Marvin best of the Weekend Pooka and Nakula. Thirteen receptions, one hundred seventy yards and a touchdown. Is the Rams beat the previously undefeated Indianapolis Colts.

00:39:21
Speaker 5: Thank you for that.

00:39:22
Speaker 15: I had best, the worst of the weekend, best of the weekend. The college football slate over the weekend was great overtime games Penna State, Oregon, Tennessee, Missisippi State. Great games, but the worst of the weekend of my cowboys last night.

00:39:35
Speaker 5: That defense was what was fast as well.

00:39:37
Speaker 19: Secondary couldn't hold anything. Dog dack Is playing at an MVP level. Beat up o Y no CD Pickens looked great. So just unfortunate they couldn't come out with that game.

00:39:51
Speaker 7: Keith.

00:39:53
Speaker 20: Hey, guys, I have a couple of best and worst of the weekend. Lane Kiffin getting the win versus his daughter's boyfriend team has got to be a great feeling as a father. I mean, can you imagine them having a nice sit down dinner after all that. The other being the Detroit Lions. What are resurgence for them? After allows the opener? They go three to zero and have not faltered since Putchison gets another strip sack.

00:40:14
Speaker 21: They look just fine without Ben Johnson. Worst of the weekend? What is going on with the Packers? They're everyone's favorite team for the first two weeks. What do you make of them now?

00:40:24
Speaker 20: Also for the Ravens, do you blame the offensive coordinator, the roster.

00:40:28
Speaker 21: Or Lamar for their offensive struggles? Thanks guys having one day?

00:40:31
Speaker 2: Well, the offense has been good, they've been scoring points. It's the defense that's met when you go And this is Bill Parcells talked about this. I'd ask him about this years ago in the Super Bowl against Buffalo. He said, we wanted to make sure, you know, we wanted to slow down the game. We wanted to drain the clock, We wanted to run the football. So every time they got on the field, they knew they had to score. We put extra pressure on them.

00:40:58
Speaker 5: You know.

00:40:59
Speaker 2: With the Ravens, Lamar has to go out there thinking we got to score touchdowns, not field goals, touchdowns every single time, Dak we have to go out there, Joe Burrow when you know he was healthy with the Bengals, that pressure, it's already tough enough. And now you're saying every one of these possessions you have to go out there and score a touchdown. And you saw it, Ravens. You can't keep up that pace. None of these teams can keep up that pace. All right, final hour, we'll talk some college football with Rick Neuheisen. We'll talk to him about Penn State losing another game, big game at home. More of your phone calls as well, Best and Worst to the weekend eight seven to seven three DP show operator Tyler sitting by, take your phone calls on this Monday? What update the poll results?
