So Declan Doyle is the youngest coordinator in the NFL. He was hired by the Baltimore Ravens. He spent a year as the offensive coordinator for the Bears. Under listen, you know Ben Johnson who called the plays and ran the show. But Decland Doyle was brought on because they thought he was a very up and coming and promising offensive mind and somebody they wanted in the building there in Chicago.

00:01:49
Speaker 1: And so he gets hired by the Ravens. Bit of a surprise. They went with a guy who hadn't had experience at this level calling plays before calling plays period. And he was brought on.

00:01:59
Speaker 2: And he had an introductory press conference yesterday in Baltimore in which he talked about the expectation he has for Lamar Jackson and the rest of his players. With voluntary workouts coming out, Let's take a listen, we would.

00:02:14
Speaker 1: Expected to be here and certainly invall period.

00:02:17
Speaker 4: And so but it's Also, you know, if you want to say that you're going to win a championship, you want to say that you have championship standards and those are your goals and your expectations. Certainly, that's going to take work, that's going to take collaboration, that's going to take the beginning of building the relationship with their coaches, other players, you know, starting off this this next regime on the right foot. And so that would be those guys getting in here, us being able to work with them hands on and be able to kind of get this thing going in the direction that we want to and you know, making improvements so that we set ourselves up where when we come back in for training camp, we hit the ground run and we already have kind of shared knowledge, shared language, and we're able to go.

00:03:00
Speaker 2: Right to work voluntary workouts. But he expects him and the other guys to be there. I'm not sure if he's familiar with the way that Lamar Jackson operates. Okay, I'm not. I'm not sure if anybody filled him in on the fact that Lamar kind of moves at his own pace, moves at his own speed, operates and negotiates contracts the way he does it maybe differently than anybody else because he doesn't have an agent, and you know, if you may or may not see him outside a lunch truck in Baltimore and it looks like, you know, he's been walking the green Wolf for about forty eight hours straight, like listen. He just he operates in a different way. But for Decklan Doyle to come in and I get why he would want those guys to be in the building and be a part of this whole thing, I just I can't imagine that's going to entice Lamar Jackson or veterans to want to stop what they're doing and all of a sudden come in because the brand new offensive coordinator says, I have expectations for you to show up, even though they're voluntary.

00:04:05
Speaker 3: So when my older brother used to tell me things I had to do when we were growing up, you know what I would do. I'd laugh at him, like what you're talking to bruh?

00:04:23
Speaker 1: Do it when I feel like doing it? Why is that? Why is that relevant?

00:04:29
Speaker 3: Well, my older brother is three years older than me, my elder and I still was like very comfortable with knowing that because he's my brother and we're so close in age. I ain't got to do anything you tell me to do. You know how old mister Decklan Doyle is twenty nine years old? You know how old one? Lamar Jackson is twenty nine years old. He can't be twenty nine. How old is he?

00:05:01
Speaker 1: He's twenty nine? Same age?

00:05:03
Speaker 3: Man? Is he twenty nine? Lamar jack twenty nine? Lamar Jackson is twenty That's crazy. I didn't think he was that old.

00:05:14
Speaker 1: They're the same age, like.

00:05:19
Speaker 3: You have. You have this youth movement taking place in the National Football League, and most likely you're you're seeing guys that are the same age as their players. I just wonder what, Like I always used to say, like, man, they bring these old ass coaches in here, and now I die, like what's this all about? But when you think about it now that they're bringing in I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Mikey. Maybe I should leave old people alone.

00:05:50
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying.

00:05:52
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, people when when like Mike, you look like you could be mom my uncle.

00:05:58
Speaker 1: He just got in the sky. Hey Mike, you look like you could be my uncle.

00:06:02
Speaker 3: Mike, I'm just saying, do you treat your cousin the same way you treat your uncle, You know what I mean. I don't treat my uncles the same way I treat my cousins. So it's like when you come in and you're setting a tone. He has to come in to try to set a tone. As a coach, you want to come in, you want to try to set a tone. I just wonder at what cost, at what expense is it going to take for him to be able to set a tone at twenty nine years old and you're wet behind the ears, You're a new You're a new, new, new energy, a new personality in the mix with somebody who's a multi MVP winner, has had great success and is so beloved by the community and the city and the franchise. What are you going to do if Lamar Jackson snickers at you and laughs it off like I'll be here when I get here.

00:07:00
Speaker 1: That's what That's what I've always done.

00:07:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just And that's the part I wonder about because his relationship with decland Doyle is the most important. They hired Jesse Minner, who's a defensive guy, and if we're going based on where Declan Doyle was previously, like Ben Johnson was really really hard on Kayleb Williams and was really outspoken and critical sometimes publicly of him and would get on him. And Caleb Williams has talked about it, but he was working with him day in and day out closely. And you talked yesterday on the show about how quarterbacks move differently in the building and Ben Johnson was his guy. That's sort of how they're connected, and that's what the Bears wanted, and they should have won it because it's going to be hopefully lasting them for the next decade plus those two together. But in this case, I wonder decland Doyle's brought in to be the one closest to Lamar Jackson from an offensive mind standpoint. He's not the head coach. That relation is paramount with the Ravens organization. And so when the guy comes in and the first thing he says is, I don't care if it's voluntary. They need to be here.

00:08:11
Speaker 1: And you're a veteran player who probably doesn't show up to the voluntary workouts. And if you're Lamar Jackson, dude, you can't even get the guy to practice every single day of the week, you know, training camp, preseason, like whatever.

00:08:24
Speaker 3: It doesn't mean you don't come in and try to set a tone. Well and listen, maybe he's already had this conversation behind closed doors. I would say it's wise to have had this conversation behind closed doors. Don't come out with an iron fist. We had this conversation about Schottenheimer with the whole reorganizing and doing this with the locker room and this and that. We saw that turn out, But don't come in ruling with an iron fist publicly. If you're going to be an iron fists type of guy, like this is what it's going to be, this is how it's gonna be, this is how we're gonna do it, this is why we're going to do it. You had better build that bond and and set that tone and that standard behind closed doors.

00:09:11
Speaker 1: That doesn't work anymore these days. That iron fist sort of talk down to players and it.

00:09:20
Speaker 3: Isn't really really recognized. It's not comprehendible by today's today's athlete, today's kid. They touched. They're touched, man, they're touched. That's cringe. You come at somebody with the iron fist, that's cringe. Like I used to think when you came at me with the iron fists. It was literally an iron fist, like I'm going to get spanked. You're if you're told this and you don't do this, the consequence is an ass whipping. Oh yeah, coming after it that. It's not like that anymore, Like there is no real consequences to oh, clean your room, like you didn't clean your room?

00:09:59
Speaker 1: Well, okay, are you going to clean it out? No, I'm going to take.

00:10:03
Speaker 3: Your your your devices from you, Like, okay, you figure out something else to do. I'm going to take that. What you figured out what else to do? Okay, Like I'll just sit here and be bored. But so what I still didn't clean my room. Where you go from there? If you if you physically like spank them, you still didn't really get anything. You didn't get anything out.

00:10:25
Speaker 2: Of it other than feeling bad about spanking. My son's four years old. I threatened him one time and he slashed my tires. Like it's a new day man.

00:10:33
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:10:33
Speaker 3: So so so the whole iron physic everybody is going to be here.

00:10:38
Speaker 1: I expect everybody to be here.

00:10:39
Speaker 3: Now, what you have to do is you have to be creative and how it is that you go about working with the professionals that are under your watch and under your care. You got to build the bond this this era of athlete. If you build a bond like hey, like, let's go get some some food from your from your your food truck.

00:11:06
Speaker 1: Hey, lamar.

00:11:10
Speaker 3: You smoking? Like all right, Like I might not smoke the green lettuce, but I smoked cigars. Like, let's go, Chief, you got to go meet these people on their on their ground.

00:11:22
Speaker 2: So if you were advising Declan Doyle, you would tell them to go smoke weed with why not Jackson?

00:11:26
Speaker 3: Why not? All right?

00:11:29
Speaker 1: Only hey, listen, you had to steep a shoddy telling.

00:11:32
Speaker 3: Them only only if, only, if that's what you do, only if that's what you do. If you're deckling and you smoke weed, go smoke weed.

00:11:41
Speaker 1: With with with you.

00:11:43
Speaker 3: You got a couple of players that are your main guys, go have a drink with them, Go have a beer with them, Go go kick it with them, Like, Oh, you're going on vacation over here to the Bahamas. I'm coming, I'm bringing my wife. We're gonna hang like I'm coming through.

00:11:58
Speaker 1: We're good.

00:12:00
Speaker 3: Then you build a relationship and I'm over embellishing. Obviously I'm not, you know, lots of bummer, but but I mean, I mean, if I was your coach, like, I'm not going to not be who I like. You want to know, the biggest mistake coaches make is being something in someone they're not. You could get away with that when you could tell somebody get the f out of here, you stupid mother effort. Look at what happened in Atlanta. I told you that offensive coordinator was a d bag to his players. I told you that where they at now gone.

00:12:40
Speaker 2: That's a good point. Why do you take a victory lap on that you put us up on games? Brady Quinn dismissed it. I told y'all behind the team never does, okay.

00:12:51
Speaker 3: I told y'all behind the scenes that the offensive coordinator for the Atlanta Falcons did not know how to.

00:12:58
Speaker 1: Talk to his players. I tell y'all that, I sit it on air.

00:13:02
Speaker 3: I said, you're gonna run into issues because the dude doesn't know how to like the way he was talking to grown ass men. You talk to me the way he was talking to them dudes, and we out on the street, I'm gonna punch you in your mother f in mouth. That's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna punch you right in your mouth. I'm gonna pop you, like, stay in your place, bro, Like I don't know what you think this is. But what you're not gonna do is talk to me like I'm less than a man. I gotta get up just like you get up. I gotta come to work and put it in just like you do. Don't talk to me that way. And that's old schools. That's me as an old school player. These new school players, they just shut down. They shut down like, oh, mother f me, you stupid mother effort, get out of here.

00:13:49
Speaker 1: We don't da da da this or not. They shut down.

00:13:54
Speaker 3: And you know what happens because all these catch is so cool and they all on the same page. It's like a power outage, Like wait, the lights aren't on you cause the power outage.

00:14:08
Speaker 1: You talking to cats.

00:14:10
Speaker 3: The way you're talking to them, you not show The worst thing you could do is show them you don't care. If you show this era athletes, you don't care, they're gonna check out and they don't care, Like it's the weirdest thing, Like don't you still want to win? I can't function, can't function right. Mental health used to be your weak, used to be like emotional sensitivities used to be your weak. You know what they are. Now it's power, it's empowerment. My mental health matters, my emotional stability matters, my happiness matters. And if you infringe on that, then you've gone down the road that you should not go down. It's inappropriate, it's not accept able, nor will it be tolerated. And our society backs that up. Now they back it up, Jonas. So if you come in talking crazy the cats, they shut down. You're not going to get results. So I while I'll say the tone of it, I'm not going to say the tone of declan is that of a tyrant. But the reason why I believe they're bringing in younger coaches to coach these guys is that you gotta have guys that understand how these guys are wired emotionally.

00:15:33
Speaker 1: By the way, you imagine telling our parents, hey, we need a.

00:15:36
Speaker 2: Mental health break growing up, bro, I can't my dad telling me like, hey, come help me clean the chicken coop. Now, Dad, I need a mental health said mental what he'd literally spray me.

00:15:47
Speaker 1: In the eyes with rage.

00:15:48
Speaker 3: I'll show you mental health, boy, he'll get the belt. Wait, hold on.

00:15:54
Speaker 2: I'm about to get I'm gonna get spiked for said in fact, don't get the belt, get the yard break, not get spank.

00:16:02
Speaker 1: Well, what are you stranging before day? Damn?

00:16:05
Speaker 2: We don't make get excuses. Hey, damn, we look at California. Why we have a snowshovel next time? You need a mental health break?

00:16:11
Speaker 3: That's why.

00:16:13
Speaker 1: It's weird. Hey, man, game and shape.

00:16:16
Speaker 3: My dad has two prosthetic lives like they're wouldn't you knock on them?

00:16:20
Speaker 1: Bad boys?

00:16:21
Speaker 3: Right? Give him? I need a mental health day. I need a day off. I'm emotionally, I'm drained this and that. That man knock on his legs. You think I get an emotional day? You think I get a mental health day. You think you think I get a mental health day. Let's not have any excuses. Let's have a not have excuses day today. Hey, listen, I raised my kids heart. I'll say I turned out. I turned out well. Like, I don't take days off. I'm dependable, I'm on time. I like the way he raised me. Military. I handle things military very regimented. Was there some sacrifice there? Yeah? Like? Are we super tight? We're tight as father son, But are we like tight tight like kind of not really, you know what I mean. So it's kind of like for me, you got to approach it the same exact way in the football world in terms of the understanding.

00:17:23
Speaker 1: Of who it is that you're guiding.

00:17:25
Speaker 3: If you're not authentically who you are, and you don't establish that rapport and that bond and that connection with each and this is the crazy thing with each one of those players that are under your watchful eye. And I would go as far as to say, even if I'm the offensive coordinator, I'm building that relationship with defensive players too. I'm building a personal relationship with every single player that comes in that building that plays for us, because that's how today's athlete operates.

00:17:59
Speaker 2: I do wonder also, if you're Declan Doyle and your most recent example is, as we mentioned, the Ben Johnson Caleb Williams relationship, Caleb Williams and Lamar Jackson are in completely different spots in their career. When Ben Johnson got to Chicago, there was conversations, Caleb Williams is a bust, He's this, he's that, you can't win with him. He had to basically, you know, that's not he had to basically break him down and build him up again. Lamar Jackson's already got two MVPs, he's got hundreds of millions of dollars.

00:18:32
Speaker 1: He's a superstar.

00:18:34
Speaker 2: And now you get a guy whose most recent example is is how Ben Johnson coached up Caleb Williams. And we've talked about it before. The Belichick disciples, for the most part, never really worked because they tried to be Belichick. As you mentioned, you got to be yourself. And I just wonder, I just wonder if he's taking the approach that, well, Ben did this with Caleb, I'm gonna do with Lamar, and it's too completely different.

00:18:57
Speaker 3: Caleb's a baby, it's a baby, a babe in the league, and Lamar is a battle tested, hardened experience VET and but he's he's a new school VET. Though again, the best thing you could do is become best friends with you know who has the perfect blend of best friend. But it better be respect like we could lock it up, like like we could go in the back room and lock it up. I remember one time, just Super Quick Store I slap box went when I was a head coach. One of my one of my one of my players. He only understood fighting. Fighting was the only way to communicate with him. So well I realized. I was like, let's go over here real quick, man, come on, come on. We slapboxed, old school, old style slap box, like, let's go, let's go, right, So now you're not looking at me like I got this old decrepit dude, that's coaching you. It's like he touched my head like three times in the first one minute of us slap boxing, Like I touched your head.

00:20:04
Speaker 1: You know what that means, right, if we was.

00:20:05
Speaker 3: Really slap boxing, I slapped the hell out of you, like your face would be slapped. And I'm sitting there and I'm moving on him, and my handspeed was too good for him. And after that, our bond, our ability to communicate was different. He's like, oh wait, you're like me, Like, yeah, that's what I've been trying to tell you. We're not different, We're the same and we should want the same things. You connect on that level, right, Mike Rabel, that's the perfect blend, perfect blend of 's Like, I guarantee you Mike Vrabel would be.

00:20:43
Speaker 1: Like, oh, you feel like you could whoop me? But Rabel broke up a fighting training camp and got bloodied.

00:20:49
Speaker 3: Let's go in the weight room, Let's hit this, Let's let's get I'm not telling you to go lift the weights.

00:20:55
Speaker 1: I'm going in with you.

00:20:57
Speaker 2: Let's get this work out in Dan Campbell's and other campbell Yeah, former players, but just have a real real sense of what connecting to your players represents.

00:21:09
Speaker 3: You gotta be careful on things like that, especially when you have established vets.

00:21:12
Speaker 2: It's the Dan Patrick Show here on Fox Sports Radio. He's LeVar Arrington. I'm Jonas Knox in for Dan and the guys. Coming up next here though, we're gonna tell you about if true, why this makes somebody potentially the biggest weirdo in all of sports.

00:27:52
Speaker 1: Well, hey, hold on a second, I didn't say it, Chris.

00:27:56
Speaker 3: That hand went right on over there.

00:27:57
Speaker 1: It was quick, safe than sorry, all right?

00:28:01
Speaker 2: Next up some laughing crying emojis, and then he goes on to say, does get off my Dickerson? I really got a laugh to stop from crying. I swear I miss Ben Simmons. Least that n word would give me the ball. He then goes on to say, when somebody, when somebody pointed out and put a screenshop of life with Devin Booker and Frank Vogel. He wrote all this because book return two dictators Stalin and Hitler, Mussolini and Kim Jong Un. The sons are my team when we lose, and Books team when we win. That from Get Off My Dickerson via DM on X, now Kevin Durant, who we don't know is get off my Dickerson. Because this spread and everybody got ahold of this. Kevin Durant was asked about the scandal, if you will, and had this to say, to.

00:29:00
Speaker 7: Ask these questions, but I'm not here to get in the twitter nonsense. Sometimes here to focus on the season, keep it pushing on. I know, I get you got to answer those questions over there is we've been locked in the whole season, man, Joy R. Braden had a great practice today with a force of the road trip.

00:29:14
Speaker 2: So based on that response, do you believe that Kevin Durant is in fact? Well, somebody does not deny it. Well, can I at least like present to you the question? Okay, I just want to be a fair moderator. Based on that response, LeVar Arrington, do you believe that Kevin Durant is in fact? Get off my dicker set. Yes, I'm gonna be honest with you, man, play back.

00:29:43
Speaker 1: One more time. Just play the beginning of it. When you don't do something, you say, yeah.

00:29:47
Speaker 3: Man, that's crazy, it's not me, Like I didn't do that, Like you got the wrong person.

00:29:51
Speaker 1: What you're wasting your time? Tell me?

00:29:54
Speaker 3: Do you hear him say no or answered definitively? Let me hear the beginning.

00:29:58
Speaker 7: I know you got to ask these questions, but I'm not here to get into twitter nonsense and desire to focus on the season.

00:30:06
Speaker 3: Translation, I'm mister, get off. There's hard.

00:30:13
Speaker 2: Here's the part I believe if I've got to bet one one side or the other. And again I'm a horrible gambler, absolutely horrib just atrocious. I bet on a horse one time that died at the starting. That's crazy, so like it's not even like they had to bring out an elephant gun and put him down right in front of everybody and he hadn't even raced yet. But so I'm not a great gambler, but if I had to bet on this, I would lean towards and to say, slight lean towards. That's not Kevin Durant, because I can't imagine that a guy with as much on his plate and as much going for him would take the time to create an account called get off my Dickerson and d M people responses like this and that, and I find myself saying, ah, but wait, he's already done it before I was about to say before. Yes, So now look at this whole thing going. I don't know, man, Like this is a really you gotta explain to me. Okay, he is a DC guy. He's spent a lot of time in d C. I knew him younger, younger KD. He used to come around to the sideline shouts ow the KD. This is weird old behavior, man, This is weird it's just I don't understand.

00:31:30
Speaker 3: That the weirdo. I don't understand. We just spent a whole segment talking about this new era, this new age of athlete. And even though he's a little bit older than some of these newer age athletes that are out here, he's still part of the culture. He still influences the culture with how he is. He's very he's very in tune to what's current and what's trendy. And I got to say, if you know KD he's a He's a jokester. He's not only a jokester, he's funny as all get out. Bro dude is a funny dude. I don't mind when he claps back at people on social media. I think it's hilarious. I just so for me when when I hear these things, and it's like, if you've ever and and people from d C, D M V, will will will know exactly what I'm talking about. He's not only a jokester and a prankster and he's funny, but.

00:32:33
Speaker 2: He is a serious trash talker.

00:32:39
Speaker 3: His trash talking is great. So I recall seeing him play at and Barry Farms, like he shouts out the mouse. I don't even know if Miles still around, hopefully still around, friend, Barry Farms.

00:32:54
Speaker 1: Leagues, if you are Miles, you can find us on YouTube right now.

00:32:57
Speaker 3: Yeah. Two. And if you if you listen to the show and you you know, shouts out to all my DMV all days, Kirk boone, all of them, you know what I mean?

00:33:08
Speaker 1: So com coded. I go to the games.

00:33:10
Speaker 3: I sit in the courtside, watched the games at KD. Every time KD being a game, k D could trash talk you down to the ground. I mean, some dudes just got the gift and it blew me away because before I had met him, and before I got to know him a little bit, I just thought he was this quiet dude that just walks around, says two three words, doesn't say nothing, unassuming, like you don't get nothing out of him. So I'm sitting there on the sideline just flabbergasted. I'm I'm sitting there like what is going That's Kevin Durant talk like he's talking bad to this defender, like bad told him about how he grew up, how it had something to do with basketball, his mama not loving him. No, your ball handle is skilled, your your your defense shows how you was raised.

00:34:09
Speaker 1: I mean he was. It was so good. It was so good.

00:34:13
Speaker 3: So me knowing him from when I did know him, and and the things that I've heard him say.

00:34:20
Speaker 1: He even talk trash to be.

00:34:22
Speaker 3: We used to have like a competition of trash talk competition about cars. I've had my Like I'd have a different car every time I come to the sideline, and he'd be like, hey, yeah, you see what I got. You see what I got out of that. You see what I got. I can't compete with his money. You know what I mean, I ain't got what you got, shouts out to Rob Bassem. Though I did have Eastern Motors, you I had Eastern Motor Group. What what Robbie b He used to talk trash to me. Come into the restaurant. We come with chicken kill, chill and kick it and he you know, and he taught a little bit of trashy. So when I hear these things, it's like, for one, do I think is it's probably him? But the thing about it is, here's the biggest question.

00:35:06
Speaker 1: Do you care?

00:35:08
Speaker 3: Do you care?

00:35:09
Speaker 2: Or is it or is it entertainment? It's like it's weird. I think it's weird. I think it's a weirdo if it's true. But again, I'm a weird most of these dudes these days, well you are a weirdo, damn.

00:35:21
Speaker 1: But these new school cats.

00:35:24
Speaker 3: Are weirdos because you don't. You have to understand where they're living at right now, their mind state, their mental how society is versus society is very different for you back then than it is right now. Being current an influencer, superstar, megastar, it's just different. They're all weirdos, Jonas.

00:35:47
Speaker 1: That's why.

00:35:48
Speaker 3: To me, it's just funny when I heard you read them, it's funny, like, oh, you're gonna go in there deal and get at them. It's funny to me unless you're threatening lives or or bodily harm or anything like that. If you're just trad stalking, who cares. I think it's funny. This generation they do things in a weird different way. Their algorithm is way different than ours. I get it, So I don't put too much into you. I just think it's funny.

00:36:11
Speaker 1: It's uh.

00:36:12
Speaker 2: Save his social media behavior is a wild place to be.

00:36:17
Speaker 3: I think I think there should be more trolling. The trollers that exist out here.

00:36:21
Speaker 2: Oh when he doesn't and he's not hiding. I think it's great. I have no issue with it being like, oh, you got better things to do?

00:36:26
Speaker 1: Who cares? Doesn't take that long to fire back?

00:36:28
Speaker 3: Maybe I don't. Maybe I don't have better things to do. Maybe maybe that's that's my better.

Begin to search two pros FSR and subscribe. The Kansas City Chiefs they have done a little restructuring with Patrick Mahomes contract. To create some cap space, they converted over fifty four million dollars of his deal into a signing bonus. Not surprising, We've seen this done elsewhere. They may also do the same with Chris Jones as well too. They're one of the more interesting teams to watch this offseason heading into next season because the fan base doesn't want to believe, and people that love the Chiefs and love what they've done don't want to believe that it's over. But do you believe that based on what we've seen, the injury, the cap issues, the rest of the league, do you believe that the run.

00:39:02
Speaker 1: For the Kansas City Chiefs is over?

00:39:05
Speaker 3: Yes?

00:39:07
Speaker 2: I think I'm with you, But I told you all that before this season, I thought the run was over. And it's not to say they're not still going to be a very good team and not be competitive, but I think it just goes to show you. Look, when New England went on that run in the early two thousands and won those Super Bowls, there was a long break between winning another super Bowl like after the seventeen and OC or a near perfect season that was spoiled by the Giants. They didn't win a Super Bowl for another decade, but they were still in contention, like they were still either going to a Super Bowl or in an AFC Title game. They were still there. They just didn't get over the hump. And I look at Kansas City and I go, even when they were winning the Super Bowls, it's not like it was Mahomes and the offense who was carrying them.

00:39:53
Speaker 1: It was really their defense.

00:39:55
Speaker 3: It was really the defense.

00:39:56
Speaker 2: And I just look at it and I go, I'm not sure how long, how much longer Andy Reid wants to do it? Who knows the Travis Kelsey's future. You're going to need them to do something similar to what New England did. And I don't know that there's any other organization in football or maybe in sports who's done it the way New England did. And that's why I think I kind of lean in your direction there. Kansas City can figure it out. They can because they have a.

00:40:24
Speaker 3: System, a process that has been created and it works. It was created and worked in Philly. It didn't quite get them all the way over, but it was carried over and continued in KC and it worked. Can they do it? They can do it? How likely is it. You know, I think that depends on how much energy, as you mentioned on Andy Reid, how much energy he has left in the tank to put in the effort that is needed to be orchestrating that type of setup. So can they do it? Yeah? But do I think that their run has come to and then I thought it would slowly come into it and then the injury to Patrick Mahomes, he won't be the same this year. I think it's Yeah, I think it's a rap.

00:41:08
Speaker 1: I think Chiefs fans are going to be pissed off about it.

00:41:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, they might be a little upset about it, but but they're in the back of their minds like, yeah, he's probably right, They're probably right.

00:41:16
Speaker 1: Could be worse. You could be this fan base.

00:41:18
Speaker 2: We'll tell you which fan base that is next here on the Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio.
