Date: October 31, 2025
Podcast Host: Dan Patrick (with the Danettes)
Guest: Dan Orlovsky (ESPN/NFL analyst)

EPISODE OVERVIEW

This episode kicks off Meat Friday on a lively, Halloween-themed note and dives deep into the state of the NFL—especially focusing on the Miami Dolphins’ recent lackluster performance, the strength of the Ravens (and Lamar Jackson), the ever-murky franchise quarterback debate, and broader issues facing teams like the Titans, Saints, Browns, and others. Dan Orlovsky joins for an incisive, candid conversation on top NFL storylines, including quarterback depth, AFC contenders, and the cultural relevance (or fatigue) of recurring sports topics in the media.

---

KEY DISCUSSION POINTS & INSIGHTS

1. Kicking Off: NFL Headlines, Halloween Vibes, & Meat Friday

• Dan welcomes listeners to “Meat Friday,” highlights the day’s menu (rib eyes, strip steaks, lobster tails—“Who has it better than we do? Nobody”), and jokes about Halloween costumes among the crew.
• They tease poll questions on Halloween traditions, scary movie villains, and, of course, NFL woes.

2. Ravens’ Ascendance, Lamar Jackson’s Evolution, and the AFC North (07:07–11:30)

• Dan points out Vegas’s continuing faith in the Ravens to win the AFC North and reflects on their recent strong showings.
• Discussion turns to Lamar Jackson’s maturation as a passer:
  • “He’s finally being given credit for being a better passer. He was great last night—four touchdown passes.” (Dan, 11:24)

3. The Dolphins’ Downward Spiral: Is It a Full Rebuild? (09:04–13:40)

• The Danettes debate whether Miami’s issues are fixable (“Dolphins need a new coach, new QB, or a fresh start?”), acknowledging the team’s talent but lack of direction.
• Dan: “After that, it just felt like the Dolphins were sitting around going, ‘Yeah, Lamar’s pretty good. When’s this game over?’ It just felt like, let’s put a stamp on it, mail it in.” (Dan, 09:56)
• The consensus: Despite their roster, Miami feels “messy” and may face a teardown/rebuild.

4. NFL Quarterback Tiers and the ‘Franchise’ Debate (23:35–26:00)

• Dan Orlovsky joins, immediately tackling, “How many franchise quarterbacks are there in the NFL?”
  • Orlovsky: “I’d probably say 12 right now would be my guess off the top of my head….I would put the franchise quarterback into two…tiers. The first tier would be we win games because of you, and that’s a very small group. The second, we win a lot of games with you.” (Dan Orlovsky, 24:01)
  • Names listed included Josh Allen, Drake Maye, Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, C.J. Stroud, Mahomes, Herbert, Jalen Hurts, Dak Prescott, Jared Goff, Bo Nix, Baker Mayfield, and more (see notable quote for full rundown).
• Orlovsky asserts, “This is the best and deepest quarterback the NFL has ever seen. I just rattled off 15, 16 really, really, really good quarterbacks.” (23:54)

5. Lamar Jackson: Perceived as Runner, Delivering as Passer (25:26–27:24)

• Orlovsky breaks down how defenses view Lamar:
  • “I don’t believe there’s any defensive coordinator out there that’s…not focusing at a hyper level on Lamar and his ability to make plays…But it’s a little bit more of a secondary play now rather than a primary option.” (Dan Orlovsky, 26:05)

6. AFC North Outlook and Why Vegas Loves the Ravens (27:24–29:11)

• Orlovsky: Last season’s Ravens offense “broke historical records,” most of the group is back and healthy, so Vegas optimism makes sense.
• Still, Orlovsky gives the Steelers a slight edge: “I still give the Steelers the edge to win the division. I’m not panicking over the two-game losing streak. It’s still [Aaron] Rodgers…” (Orlovsky, 28:36)

7. Rebuilding the Dolphins: Smart Moves or Sinking Ship? (29:11–31:45)

• Orlovsky favors trading WR Jaylen Waddle and the Dolphins’ edges for value, citing Miami’s inability to sustainably build through high-paid perimeter players.
  • “I would see if I can get real value for Waddle…I would absolutely look into trading both of my defensive ends…That roster is devoid of talent.” (Dan Orlovsky, 29:25)
• Orlovsky supports Mike McDaniel and Tua but acknowledges health and system fit caveats.

8. Chiefs-Bills Rivalry and NFL Media Fatigue (31:59–38:15)

• Patrick and Orlovsky debate whether Chiefs-Bills qualifies as a true rivalry, likening it to early Colts-Patriots.
  • “I think because of the [playoff] performance…this is a bonafide rivalry. Both quarterbacks have been exceptional in those games.” (Dan Orlovsky, 32:30)
• Orlovsky’s kids “hate Patrick [Mahomes]…because he’s good.” (Dan Orlovsky, 33:31)

9. Media Realities: Repetitive Storylines, Cowboys, and ‘Forced Takes’ (38:15–40:31)

• Orlovsky admits it’s a challenge at ESPN to keep Cowboys/Browns/Deion/Shedeur Sanders content fresh each day.
  • “You get into a little bit of monotony…What do you have to say about the Cowboys? Nothing…I have to be disciplined because you have to say something and then you…think, ‘Why did I just say that?’” (Orlovsky, 36:23)

10. Evaluating QBs on Bad Teams: The Cam Ward–Shaduer Sanders Dilemma (38:36–40:31)

• The crew discusses how nearly impossible it is to judge rookie QB talent on struggling teams—“Either way, it feels like you can’t win in this situation.” (Dan Patrick, 39:10)

11. Dealing with NFL Fanbases & Social Media Vitriol (40:31–42:22)

• Orlovsky lists which fanbases have “problems” with him in the media cycle (Steelers, Chiefs, Eagles, Cowboys, Ravens), but adds, “99.9999% [of] public interaction is humbling. Social media—these people are out of their minds.” (Dan Orlovsky, 41:44)

---

NOTABLE QUOTES & MEMORABLE MOMENTS

• Orlovsky’s Franchise QB List & Tiers (24:01–25:26):

  “I’d probably say 12 right now would be my guess off the top of my head. I mean, you’d have to say no question: Josh Allen…Drake Maye is 2. Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, 3, 4…C.J. Stroud, no doubt…Mahomes…Herbert…Jalen Hurts, no question. Dak Prescott…Jared Goff, Bo Nix, Baker Mayfield…you win games because of you, and that’s a very small group. Lamar, Patrick [Mahomes], Josh [Allen], Joe [Burrow]…Then we win a lot of games with you—that’s another 10 bodies.”
  – Dan Orlovsky (24:01–25:26)

• On Lamar Jackson’s Reduced Rushing Attempts Impact (26:05):

  “I don’t think that there’s a defensive coordinator saying you don’t have to pay a ton of attention to it. It’s still such a huge part of his game…but it’s a little bit more of a secondary play…” – Dan Orlovsky

• On the AFC North Race & Ravens’ Prospects (28:36):

  “I still give the Steelers the edge to win the division. I’m not panicking over the two-game losing streak. It’s still Rodgers.” – Dan Orlovsky

• Media Fatigue and Forced NFL Narratives (36:23):

  “I try to find different ways to talk about the teams…I’ve learned, Dan, I have to be very disciplined. When I was younger, you fall [into] the mindset you have to say something and then you…think, ‘Why did I just say that?’” – Dan Orlovsky

---

TIMESTAMPS FOR MAJOR SEGMENTS

• 07:07 — “Welcome…recap what we saw with the Ravens…Lamar Jackson’s back…Miami Dolphins…” (AFC North/Baltimore focus)
• 09:04 — “Poll questions…The Dolphins need a new coach…new QB…or a fresh start?” (Miami’s issues)
• 23:35 — Dan Orlovsky joins (“How many franchise QBs are there?”)
• 25:26 — Lamar Jackson: runner vs. passer debate
• 27:24 — AFC North and Ravens vs. Steelers
• 29:11 — What should Miami do at the trade deadline? (Waddle, edges, McDaniel, Tua)
• 31:59 — Chiefs-Bills rivalry, NFL headline fatigue
• 36:23 — Orlovsky on ESPN rundown fatigue, Cowboys overexposure
• 40:31 — Social media and NFL fanbase blowback

SUMMARY FOR NON-LISTENERS

Hour 1 of The Dan Patrick Show blends Halloween hijinks with sharp football analysis. Dan and the crew open with food and poll question banter before digging into the NFL’s pressing storylines: Why the Dolphins look hopeless, why Baltimore’s roster (and Lamar Jackson’s passing) makes them AFC North favorites, and which teams have the “most helpless” trajectories.

Dan Orlovsky delivers a thorough assessment of the league’s quarterbacks, arguing this is the “deepest” QB pool in NFL history, but still reserving “franchise” status for only about a dozen QBs—split between “guys you win because of” and “guys you win with.” He details Miami’s crossroads (trade Waddle & edge rushers, but keep McDaniel/Tua with caveats) and calls for a more nuanced take on Lamar Jackson, noting defensive coordinators still gameplan around his run threat even as his pass efficiency spikes.

The broader culture of football media is a recurring theme—Orlovsky admits it’s tough to offer fresh insights about the Cowboys, Browns, or Deion’s sons day after day, and that ESPN’s show silos can force repetitive, even “forced,” takes.

Listener calls and playful back-and-forths about sports heartbreak, Halloween, and team identity round out the hour, making this episode as lively as it is insightful.

Of high functioning nitwits who somehow pulled off America's third largest cash heist.

[Todd Fritz]

Kind of like Robin Hood, except for the part where he steals from the rich and gives to the poor. I'm not that generous.

[Dan Patrick]

It's a damn near inspiring true story for anyone out there who's ever shot for the moon, then just totally muffed up the landing. They stole $17 million and had not bought a ticket to help him escape.

[Todd Fritz]

You get your podcasts. You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio. We did it. We made it to a Friday. I was taking the under, but we are here. It's a meat Friday at that and we are fired up and so are the Traeger grills. We have grilled rib eyes. We have strip steaks. We have filet mignon. We have garlic butter lobster tails. We have sea scallops with pumpkin risotto. Who has it better than we do? Nobody. All meat and seafood provided by Heartland, Heartland Steak Company. Alrighty. Come on in. Stay a while. Dan Orlovsky, the Mothership will stop by. We'll recap what we saw with the Ravens. And I've been telling you this the last two weeks. Vegas is all over the Ravens to win the AFC north. And they were saying this prior to these last two games that they won. Lamar Jackson's back in a big way in the Miami Dolphins. Charles Barkley will join us coming up a little bit later on as well. We'll have the most must win game of the weekend. We got baseball tonight. It's game six in Toronto. We'll preview that as well. College football this weekend. Penn State, Ohio State, Vandy, Texas is probably the spiciest one. Georgia, Florida, Oklahoma, Tennessee, USC and Nebraska. Speaking of Nebraska, Matt Rule, their head coach, got an extension. I love when coaches or their agents flirt with these other schools in their so called openings. And Matt Rule, a Penn State guy, good friends, maybe best friends with the athletic director there. But they decided that, you know, maybe they were going in a different direction perhaps. Or Matt Rule put it out there that maybe he was interested or they were interested in him. But Nebraska said, well, you're not going anywhere. I think he's locked up to 20 through 2032, but I gave him a raise, maybe a couple year extension. None of these things matter. You know, it's like, man, how long are you going to be there? Man, they signed me up for 10 years. He's not going to be there for 10 years. I don't think he'll be there through 2032.

Dylan, I believe, is the only one in the building who got dressed up. Todd was flirting with getting dressed up.

[Dan Patrick]

I may have a little something.

[Todd Fritz]

I meant to put it on before the show started. It's not a whole outfit or anything. It's something basic, but I'll work in it. But how did you forget to get dressed up?

[Dan Patrick]

Because I have it in the bag.

[Todd Fritz]

Behind me, and I meant to have it for the very start of the show. It's something. It's a facial item, but I can put it on now or I could. No, no. Okay, yeah, yeah, put it on. Let me see what you got here. Yes, Marvin. I'm gonna snitch. Early this morning, Fritzi was in the back room trying out his poll questions in his standup routine on the BRGs today. Oh, the backroom guys, they all said, oh, okay. So are you Jason from Friday the 13th? Yeah, that's Jason Voorhees. Friday the 13th. Very simple hockey mask thing. Okay. Well, my wife thought I was Hannibal Lecter for some reason, so, like, that's kind of disappointed me that she didn't.

[Dan Patrick]

Get who I was.

[Todd Fritz]

Okay, so I'll keep this on until I feel like, you know, I'm starting to, like, not be able to breathe it and have one of those Milwaukee situations. I don't take it off. I'm. I'm shocked that you have something that could make you claustrophobic. Yeah, this won't be on very long because I'm already feeling like the oxygen is not getting through the holes. Okay, well, I'm glad that you got dressed up. Nobody else did, but that's okay. This character is not supposed to talk, which I know you would all love, if I just could not say anything. The whole. It's not possible. It's impossible. I've been warned by a couple of the backroom guys that look out Mario, who's the director, said, good luck. Good luck with Todd. It's a Friday, Fritzy. But it's a Halloween Friday, Fritzy, and. And I welcome it with open arms. Todd, do you have poll questions here? By the way, if you're watching on Peacock, you get to see this. Download the app if you haven't done so. And we say good morning to our radio affiliates around the country. Operator Tyler sitting by. He'll take your phone calls. Seaton will do the poll question honors. Okay, Todd, Halloween related poll questions you have on the spot. You have Halloween poll questions. I jotted out a couple of things. Are you handling the poll questions or is Seaton seating? Is. But this is just a couple of Halloween ones. If we want to do that or we cannot do it, that's up to you guys. Okay. Do you can do the poll questions? Todd, when do you buy your Halloween candy? A week before? A few days before that day? Never. I don't answer the door for trick or treaters. I pretend I'm not home. One of those families. Okay. When buying Halloween candy, to what extent do you take into account peanut allergies or a choking hazard? Very much a passing thought. I don't. I get what I like so I can consume the leftover treats. It's a little insensitive. Yeah. Scariest movie character.

[Dan Patrick]

Carrie.

[Todd Fritz]

Carrie White from the movie Carrie. Chucky from Child's Play. Damien Thorne from the Omen. Freddy Krueger at Nightmare on Elm Street. Hannibal Lecter, the Silence of the Lambs. Jack Torrance from the Shining. Jason voorhees. Friday the 13th. Leatherface. Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Michael Myers from Halloween. Pennywise. Is it the clown or other? Okay. And I had a few others, if we have time. Well, take off your mask. Yeah, it's starting to annoy me. Are you getting scared? Yes, very. What do you think of people who just leave candy out in front of their door saying, please just take one or two. That's just plain lazy. The honor system with kids and candy. Are you stupid or something or. It's refreshing to see such trust in today's youth. Seaton, you got any poll questions today? I do. Okay, let's see. The Dolphins need a new coach, a new quarterback. A new coach and a new quarterback. Or a fresh start. Well, this is what we were talking about before the show started. If you're the Dolphins and you're the Dolphins ownership, do you start to sell off pieces even though you still have two under contract? You don't know if Tyree Kill is going to play again. Are you going to get rid of your best receiver in Jalen Waddle? You're going to get rid of your edge rushers? Like, is this a complete rebuild with a guy who's making $54 million? I don't know what the upside is. If, if I'm a coaching candidate and you're going to try to entice me to go to the Dolphins, you're not enticing me by getting rid of your best receiver and or some of your edge rushers because the Dolphins do have talent and that was a game for at least one half. After that, it just felt like the Dolphins were sitting around going, yeah, Lamar's pretty good. When's this game over? It just felt like, let's put a stamp on it, mail it in. But I, I can't see taking the wrecking ball and saying we're going to rebuild because you can't get rid of TUA for at least another year. And if you're going to fire Mike McDaniel and you're going to bring me in, I'd be like, man, I have this looks pretty, pretty bars. What else do you have? Se let's see. We also have Lamar Jackson. Running less is a good thing or a bad thing? Well, we were looking at the numbers here. I think it's a good thing because I think he's a better passer than people give him credit for. If you look at quarterbacks rushing attempts, Jaden Daniels has, he averages over eight carries a game. Justin Field seven and a half. Jalen hurts a little over seven. Josh Allen seven. Drake May a little over six. Jackson Dart six. Kyler Murray under six. Patrick Mahomes just under six. In fact, Kyler Murray and Patrick Mahomes average the same number of carries, 5.8 yards. Lamar Jackson is down to 5.2 carries. Caleb Williams at five and Bo Nicks at 4.9. He is running less. And I think given the injuries here and certainly this hamstring, I think these numbers are going to be lower the second half of the season for him. But he's, he's finally being given credit for being a better passer. He loves his tight ends. You know, that's usually his go to guys and I think he had three touchdown passes to tight ends. Last night, it's a, it's a, A different offense. Obviously, with him in there, I don't think it's as explosive because I don't know if you can rely on him to be that kind of quarterback, at least this year. But passing wise, he's. He was great last night. Four touchdown passes. What else do we have? Got one here from Paul. Which team's situation feels the most helpless? Browns, Dolphins, Jets, Saints, Titans. Oh, my goodness. Take your pick. Well, let's see. I wouldn't say the Dolphins for the reasons you just said. They. They have a lot of talent on that team. It's just not working. They obviously need to restructure a couple of things, but they got some guys. The Titans feels really dark, sad. I mean, you got Cam Ward, but what else do you really have there? The Saints, it doesn't feel like that's a mess. Like, like if you said, okay, what's a mess? The jets prior to beating the Bengals was a mess. The Dolphins feels like a mess. The Browns mess. Ish. But the Saints, I, you know, I didn't expect anything out of them. And it feels like, let's try Tyler Schuck, see if we have anything here. If not, we draft a quarterback. I mean, you just got Kellen Moore. They do have some pieces there. So I, I would say the Titans, I mean, even Carolina, even though Carolina's got some wins. I just don't know if you're sold on, you know, Bryce Young. Yes. I don't know if we gave Spencer Rattler enough of a chance. Just saying I felt bad for the lad. Well, he did get a win. He finally got a win as a starter for the Saints. But I, I want to find out what they have in Tyler Schuck and did they go to him sooner than I thought? Yes. I thought he was going to be like a back half. Five games, six games, you know, everybody is on the fast pass. It's. Everything's expedited. It's like, we got to find out about our quarterback and if not, we gotta move on. Move on after two years. But I. Titans feels pretty tough because if you look around, you see what Mike Brable's doing with the Patriots. Like, I start there and I go, oh, like you had a great coach and you got rid of him. You had pieces there that you got rid of. Yes, Marvin. Only if they had a franchise wide receiver to throw the ball to. Yeah, yeah. See, that's the hard part with this is it felt like they had some pieces and then all of a sudden you start over. And I don't know if Cam Ward is good. I, I've seen glimpses. But, you know, I'd love to see him be able to play with, you know, if, if I had Cam Ward in Chicago, I'd like to see what he does with Ben Johnson as his coach and all those weapons. Now, it doesn't work that way, but I don't know how you assess how good he is. And that's the hard part because with these, these teams that are struggling, you know, you got to find out if you got a quarterback and most of these teams don't have a quarterback. I mean, I'm not sold on TUA with Miami, obviously, for a variety of reasons, wouldn't have given the contract extension. You're going to have a new coach probably next year. New system it put in place. Carolina I'm not sure about Bryce Young. I love the kid when he came in and visited us at the Super Bowl. But, you know, that doesn't mean he's a franchise quarterback. I'm not sure about Jacksonville. Trevor Lawrence should be. And Paulie reminded me that Kirk, Herb street joined us prior to that draft when Trevor Lawrence was taken number one overall. And Herbie said at the time, this is right before the draft, he said, you know, there's some questions I have here. Now. I get it. Most of your quarterbacks are going to have questions. Caleb Williams had questions. Cam Ward had questions. But Trevor was supposed to be a sure thing. That's why it's tricky. It's tricky when you go, we got our guy. Because some of these, some of these. How many franchise quarterbacks do we have not starting quarterbacks? Franchise quarterbacks. We're going to take a break. I'm going to ask this to Dan Orlovsky because it's probably less than you think. I mean, is it 10, 10 or fewer franchise quarterbacks in the NFL right now? 877-3-DP Show Email address dpdanpatrick.com Twitter handle At DP show we'll get to your phone calls coming up.

And you know, we don't hold back. So come be reasonable or shady with us each and every Monday. I was going through a walk in my neighborhood. Out of the blue, I see this huge sign next to somebody's house. Okay, the sign says, my neighbor is a Karen.

[Todd Fritz]

No way.

[Dan Patrick]

I died laughing. I'm like, I have to know.

[Todd Fritz]

You are lying.

[Dan Patrick]

Humongous, y'.

You can catch him on NFL Live every weekday at 4 Eastern on ESPN. Good to see you again. How many franchise quarterbacks are there in the NFL?

[Dan Patrick]

I'd probably say 12 right now would be my guess off the top of my head. I mean, you'd have to say no question. Josh Allen at 1. Drake May is 2. Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, 3, 4. I'm not going to put Rogers in there just because of his age. You know, I'm talking a little bit of longevity. C.J. stroud, no doubt.

[Todd Fritz]

Mahomes.

[Dan Patrick]

What's what's that Mahomes? Yeah, Mahomes.

[Todd Fritz]

Herbert.

[Dan Patrick]

I think Bo Nix is trending there, but it's probably too early to say. Without a doubt, I'll say that because I'm putting Drake May in there. So I think Knicks has done enough. Jalen Hurts, no question. Dak Prescott.

[Todd Fritz]

Jordan. Love.

[Dan Patrick]

Jordan love. Jared Goff, Matthew. I'm not going to put Stafford in there once again because of age. Purdy. Sam Darnold. So you're. Yeah, you're probably that 14, 15 man, you're friendly. Well, I. I mean, the pine depends on, like, what you want out of the franchise quarterback. I mean, I would put the franchise quarterback into two. One group that has two tiers. The first tier would be we win games because of you, and that's a very small group. That's Lamar, that's Patrick, that's Josh. Joe's probably in there. And then there's the group that we win a lot of games with you. And that's probably the group that fills up that another 10 bodies. Jaden Daniels would be in there as well. So, I mean, I'm under the belief, Dan, that this is the best and deepest quarterback the NFL has ever seen. I mean, there's. I just rattled off 15, Baker Mayfield, 15, 16 really, really, really good quarterbacks that, you know, again, there. There's only three or four that they erase everything, but there's a ton that you win just a bunch of games.

[Todd Fritz]

With Lamar Jackson last night, I have always felt like the critics or analysts maybe underrate his passing or they did early and he became more of a runner. Now he's running less. It's, you know, five carries a game. With the hamstring injury, he's probably not going to run as much. But what's that do to the offense if you're a defensive coordinator and, you know, Lamar is not going to be taken off ten times a game, maybe five times a game. How does that change your philosophy against them?

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I would say right now it wouldn't. Lamar is always a threat. You know, there. I don't believe there's any defensive coordinator out there that's, you know, still not focusing at a hyper level of Lamar and his ability to make plays. You know, I'll go. And when you sit in these production meetings for Monday Night Football and you talk to these defensive coordinators, one more often than not, one of the things that they will bring up is we got to make sure that we can't allow this guy to be a scrambler. And this is not Lamar. This is most quarterbacks nowadays. I think this is the most yards run for by all quarterbacks in the NFL through eight weeks that we've ever seen. So. But I don't think that there's a defensive coordinator saying, you know, or in the under the impression you don't have to pay a ton of attention to it. It's still such a huge part of his game. It's still the threat that is such a huge part. Might be a little bit different now, Dan, in comparison to maybe three, four years ago because, I mean this season's a little unique because of, you know, the injury, but earlier on it was more designed runs, more runs where he would be one of the two real options to carry the football. Now it's more likely for him to scramble, you know, a second down pass situation, third down pass situation. So I still think he's equally as impactful. It's just a little bit more of a secondary play rather than a secondary option carrying the ball.

[Todd Fritz]

Vegas loves the Ravens. They love them to win the division as they should. But okay, what's missing with the Steelers then? Why are the Ravens going to be that much better than the Steelers?

[Dan Patrick]

Well, I think the way that Vegas sees it is this. This is the roster that for the most part won 14 games last year. They were historically great offensively in Baltimore last year and everybody on that offense is back essentially. So part of the reason why their schedule is or their record is what it is is because the injuries early on and then obviously the first game in the year, Derek fumbles, all that. But last night was the first time we saw that group fully healthy. So we're taking a team that last year broke historical records in their offensive performance in production. Most of that group is back. So they should be a very good offense. I don't know if they'll replicate last year. And then that was a defense last year that once again, for the most part back half of the season was a top five unit. Most of those pieces are back. It's one of the reasons why many of us thought this was a no brainer. Super bowl contender. Matabk being injured is a big deal. And so I think that the understanding of this is what the roster had accomplished last year. This is who the roster is this year. It's relatively the same. This should be a team that, you know, should win even at sitting at 3 and 5 right now. I mean they should sniff getting into getting to 11 and 6, 10 and 7 at worst. And so it's a better roster than, than the Pittsburgh Steelers. I still give the Steelers the edge to win the division. I'm not panicking over the two game losing streak. It's still Rogers. I wouldn't be surprised if Baltimore chased him down because those two losses are, you know, two that they should not have allowed.

[Todd Fritz]

If you ran the Dolphins, I'm not going to say if you were general manager because he might not keep his job. If you're Stephen Ross, what do you do at the trade deadline and what do you do by the end of the season?

[Dan Patrick]

Trade deadline. I think Waddle is an outstanding player. I would see if I can get real value for Waddle. I like a lot of the things the Dolphins have done. You don't build your football team over the long haul by the perimeter players getting paid a gajillion bucks. It's just very difficult to do that unless you're ridiculous at drafting. So I would see if I can get really good kind of compensation for Waddle. I would absolutely look into trading both of my defensive ends. Both those guys are good players, but they've got a little bit of an injury past and it's obvious that that roster needs a rebuild. That roster is devoid of talent. So both Phillips and Chubb, I would look to see if I can get really good value out of them. That's probably what I would lean on when it comes to like the trade deadline and think people that I would entertain moving for value. What would I do moving forward? I'm a. I'm a fan of Mike McDaniels. I really am. I don't think my perspective is this. Dan. Two years ago, this offense was flying high. I called the Monday Night Football game in Miami the first week of December when they were playing for the 1 seed two years ago. And then injuries derailed the season and they really haven't recovered. I don't think the guy forgot how to coach. I don't think for two or forgot how to play. It's easier said than done. It's not my job on the line. But I still think he can coach and I still think that quarterback can play. But that roster really has a lot of voids talent wise that would need a significant uptick in ability.

[Todd Fritz]

Yeah, but you didn't put two in your franchise quarterbacks.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I didn't Jaden as first either. I ran out of names. I would put two in that group. Absolutely. As far as ability to play. Now the caveat, the asterisk with Tua is 1. There's a very specific scheme that he can only play in it's this one. It's the only scheme that he can really thrive in now. I think he's one of the only guys in the league that can play in that way because of the space of their passing game and the anticipation. So that does that, you know, hinder the coach that can be his coach. No question. And then the two is you're always going to have the health issues kind of looming over the top of tua, but I would put him in that group. No, no, no doubt.

[Todd Fritz]

Talking to Dan Orlopsky of the mothership NFL live every weekday they start at 4 Eastern. We make a big deal about the Chiefs and the Bills and it just feels like we want this to be a rivalry.

[Dan Patrick]

Sure.

[Todd Fritz]

I don't know if it is a rivalry.

[Dan Patrick]

Why? Because the Bills haven't won? Yeah, well, the Bills have won a ton in the regular season. Right. So in that regard there's no doubt about it that it is. They obviously haven't gotten it done.

[Todd Fritz]

It's like the Colts and the Patri when Peyton was playing Tom. It's like the Red Sox and Yankees before the Red Sox finally won. It's a great regular season and then it comes to, you know, nut cut in time and they fail.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I think the way that the games go in the postseason make me think a little bit more towards this is a bonafide rivalry. Both quarterbacks have been exceptional in those games. We don't have, you know, the, the journey of Mahomes and some of the, the really kind of moments that he's had. We don't have that 13 second dump off the Kelsey kick field goal unless we have that Allen performance two years ago. We don't have, you know, the Mahomes journey unless we have Josh being unbelievable and then the drop in the missed field goal. We have. We don't have that last year again with Patrick's run to the super bowl unless we have that unbelievable game in Kansas City. So you know, I think because of that performance, I mean to your point, I understand that they haven't gotten it done in the playoffs, but they're still great games and the quarterbacks have been great. And so I think that bona fides rivalry.

[Todd Fritz]

Have the Chiefs gotten into the Patriots category of their hateable.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh gosh, yeah, they're, they've been there. I mean I have four kids. We're a sports family. Part of this is because my wife is a Philly girl. So my, my kids are die hard Philly sports fans. And I say this and I Love Patrick. My sons hate Patrick. They can't stand him, you know, because he's good.

[Todd Fritz]

Yes, yes.

[Dan Patrick]

That's the reason why. I mean, they, they, they're. They're, ah, Patrick Mahomes. Jalen Hurts, you know, so much better. And I'm like, guys, Patrick's ridiculous. And so, yeah, I think there's a lot of people that dislike them because of their success. No question.

[Todd Fritz]

Do you break down Patrick Mahomes for your boys to understand?

[Dan Patrick]

All the time. But they don't. They don't want to listen to it. Like, they're. They. They don't want to listen to it. I'll be like, guys, Patrick Mahomes can do stuff that no one can't. The first person out of their mouth, first name out of their mouth, they'll be like, jalen Hurts could do that, you know? And I'll be like, no, Jalen's a great player. Like, he's not. He's not this person, you know? And so I break him down all the time to him. I. I think I do that for a lot of the quarterbacks. But, yeah, Patrick is a guy that I. I'm Aaron playing so well. I'm like. And Matthew, dad used to play, you know, with these guys. And then they make fun of me for being old. But yeah, they're. They're into.

[Todd Fritz]

It feels like Jalen Hurts is more of a rival to Patrick Mahomes than Josh Allen. Yes.

[Dan Patrick]

Because he's gotten it done in the playoffs.

[Todd Fritz]

Yes, that's. That's what I want to know. What do you do when you have to win a game? When I'm relying on you to win a game? Josh Allen's a wonderful talent. So is Lamar Jackson, but you don't want to be Charles Barkley or Patrick Ewing to Michael Jordan.

[Dan Patrick]

Sure. Well, I would tell you that Josh and Lamar, while in the same group of not getting it done, one has not had it happen. Not because of his performance. I mean, Josh has been great. Lamar is the guy that we would sit there and go, exceptional player. He's the one who is calling Fallen a little bit more flat in those matchups and. Or in the playoffs than Josh has. So I agree with you. They got to get it done. I mean, it's everyone. I think there's a. A vast majority of NFL fans that look at Buffalo and look at Baltimore and go, we hope you get it done. We want to see you finally win it. Because both franchises have been so good for the past five or six years. Both quarterbacks are great. There's nothing else for either quarterback to accomplish other than that. And so. And both organizations are well run. So I think there's a huge group that would love to see a Baltimore Buffalo get it done, but they got to get it done.

[Todd Fritz]

How challenging is it on a daily basis when you go into the mothership, you see the rundown and you know the Cleveland Browns and Shador Sanders or the Cowboys are going to be on there and you got to come up with something new, something fresh.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, it's hard. I mean, especially, I mean, I always say this. Next month is the hardest month for me at my job. I know who, like the playoff teams are for the most part, or at least the group. I know what they're good at, I know what they're not good at. I can only go on TV so much and tell these people, this team can run the ball, this team can't. This team's quarterback's really good, this team's isn't. And so you get into a little bit of a monotony in that element. And then I know that, okay, the Cowboys are going to be on there. Shador is going to be a talking point. I, I think being on daily, I think the people behind the scenes know me well enough. What do you have to say about the Cowboys? Nothing. I don't have to say anything about the Cowboys, guys. I don't, I. And I don't want to talk about the Cowboys. Well, we have to talk about the Cowboys. No, we don't. We can go one day without talking about the Cowboys. I mean, you know how it is at espn. I always, I always say, like, some of the reality is there's so many programs at ESPN and it takes so much manpower to operate each program as well as they do that. Like there's a little bit of a silo reality. Like seven o' clock Sports center is really concerned about seven o' clock Sports center. And so they're trying to make their version of that show as good as possible. They don't care if at 8 o' clock get up is getting, you know, the first thing out of their mouth is the Cowboys. They're focused on theirs. And so it's challenging. I try to find different ways to talk about the teams or educate the teams or the situations. I think you just. I've learned, Dan, I have to be very disciplined. You know, I, I have to be very disciplined because I think when I was younger, you fall into the mindset of you have to say something and then you. Ten minutes after saying it you go, why did I just say that? That was stupid. I don't actually think that way. And so I tried to be. I tried to get very disciplined about it all.

[Todd Fritz]

Yeah. And, and look, I understand there are times when you talk about the Cowboys, that offense, and Dak was playing really well. It's a shame they don't have an average defense because they'd be a playoff team. The Brown situation is, it feels like, you know, everybody is pushing for this Shador Sanders moment. Social media wants this badly.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Todd Fritz]

And I don't. I hope he gets a chance to play, you know, Dylan Gabriel. Give him, you know, six, seven, eight starts. There's your sample size. Can he play? Same thing with Shador Sanders. But being a rookie and, you know, getting pushed in there with a bad team, I don't know if we like Cam Ward. I don't know how good Cam Ward is because it's on a bad team and you're going to put him in there and then all of a sudden it's going to be, well, you put him in there and the team's not any good. I. Either way, it feels like you can't win in this situation.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I agree. I think the thing that, you know, with the Cam Ward thing, I think you can unequivocally watch Cam Ward throw and be like, yep, we could do that. There's a lot to work with there. I think your point with the Shador situation is totally fair. The attention that Shador has gathered and, and earned in some ways, we know why. I mean, he was a high end high school recruit that went with his dad to a small school. They were super successful. They go to Colorado. They do a lot of successful things at Colorado. He was a controversial draft prospect because of stories and play and talent and how good is he and whatnot and all that. You know, I think that Shador is eventually going to play this season. I would not be surprised if he plays within the next three or four games unless things drastically change with Dylan Gabriel and his performance because he's just been okay if, you know, probably at best it's not going to be an ideal situation for Shador. It very rarely is for rookie quarterbacks, certainly ones that are drafted late. And so Shador is going to have to make the best of it when he gets out there, if he gets out there. But I agree it's not going to be the ideal situation to truly evaluate how good he is. But that doesn't mean he can't take advantage of it and really start to raise some eyebrows in the building.

[Todd Fritz]

What's the fan base that has a problem with you the most?

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, man, I'm. I. I mean, kids, I feel like I go in stretches. Last year, Pittsburgh hated me, but I was right. Kansas City. But Kansas City twists my words more than anybody. Like, I'll say again, I'm trying to. I'm. Part of my job is to talk about that. I'm not a cheerleader. You know, part of my job is to be critical of either performances or potential. And so if you say something somewhat negative or, you know, foreshadowing a potential hiccup for a team, you hate them. No, I don't. I feel like the Eagles have gone up and down with me and some the Cowboys fans always hate me. But again, I've always been right about the Cowboys. I feel like I've been pretty dead on about the Eagles. I've been pretty dead on about the Chiefs. Buffalo fans, for the most part, love me. Baltimore fans hate me because they think I stole the MVP from Lamar last year, which I literally voted for him the year before. So it's ebbs and flows, man. Ebbs and flows.

[Todd Fritz]

That's good. Got to be careful when you're walking through the airports.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, man. No, but the funny thing is.

[Todd Fritz]

I.

[Dan Patrick]

Mean, I would tell you that 99.9999-9999% the interaction public is like overwhelmingly humbling. You know, it's very nice. And then social media, I'm like, yo, these people are out of their minds, man. But it happens most. I get text messages from people. I get text messages from family or friends saying, like, stop badmouthing us. And I'll be like, I'm not badmouthing you. I said, your defense has to play better. Like, you guys gave up 30. What do you.

[Todd Fritz]

[Dan Patrick]

Bunch of grief earlier.

[Todd Fritz]

That sweet. Just saying. And then I have a pie to the face bet for Marvin. But real quick, if one of Fritzi's Halloween names today are Boo Weekly, Candy Maldonado, Spooky Wilson or Frank Gore, I propose he gets an automatic part of the face. Wow. But. But my. My pie to the face. That for for with Marvin is since his best logo in sports are up three to two and he's been rocking the Blue Jays gear all series. I saw that Marvin. I will take the Dodgers to win in seven. And either here, I will take a Dodger or Blue Jay blueberry pie to the face. It's all about content, baby. Let's go, Marvin. All right, Marvin's in. I'm in. Yeah. All right. All right. We got a bet. So Boot has got the Dodgers in seven. And Marvin, all you need is one more victory. That's it for your Blue Jays. Alex in la. Hi, Alex. What's on your mind today? Hey, what's going on, guys? You know, first time caller, long time listener, 5 foot 7, 160 pounds of pure dominance. Hey, just first and foremost, just want to say a God bless all your families, guys. Have a good Halloween tonight. You know, be safe. May all your family members, you know, prosper. Man, I just want to say that first and foremost to you guys. Okay? Thank you. Yeah. And just a, you know, I got the Dodgers winning.

[Dan Patrick]

I know I sound crazy, man, but.

[Todd Fritz]

I'm from la, man. You gotta believe. You gotta believe. We're gonna go in today and we're just gonna dominate. Mookie's gonna have his best game. He's gonna put on his best performance because he knows what's up. And it's time. It's time, gentlemen. We're about to win this. We're it all. And the Dodgers are going to win in at 7, like Buddha just said. All right, Alex, thank you. You got Yamamoto tonight, and I certainly like your chances. Aiden in Utah. Hi, Aiden. What's on your mind today? Yeah, good morning, Dan. Listen, I got a pie to the face, okay? My. My Utah Jazz. Your Utah Jazz, they're going to win 50 games this year. I mean, is this a bite in the face? Aiden, if it's Marvin, let's do ball to the balls. Balls. Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, then I'm out.

[Todd Fritz]

Yeah. Marvin will do a pie to the face with you. You got Utah winning 50 games this year. You don't know what's coming, Marvin. Wow. Yeah. Lori, Marketing. That's what's coming your way, Marvin. He said five. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Al in Atlanta. Hi, Al. What's on your mind? Good morning, Dan. Happy Halloween to all. I just want to say one thing about the previous caller. Anytime a Dan accepts a pie to the face bet that quickly, you've made a bad bet. I know myself from many bets that I've made with Seaton, but what I'm calling it about is, I would just like to know, where were those Dolphins five days ago? It blows my mind that they could look so different just four days later. And I get it, you know? The Falcons defense are missing some key parts. Their offense are missing some key parts. But that was just such a different team out there. Is it that everybody just comes into.

[Dan Patrick]

Mercedes Benz and knows that we're curse.

[Todd Fritz]

By taking out two like old churches. So they just know we're gonna fail because the Falcons aren't this bad. But we. We lose horribly to the Panthers. We lose horribly to the Dolphins. The two at the time laughing stocks in the NFL. And I refuse to believe the Falcons are this bad. And you beat Buffalo. How about this, Al? Falcons beat the Patriots this weekend. The greatest thing ever. I'd be calling all of my friends.

[Dan Patrick]

In New England just gloating.

[Todd Fritz]

Even though they could still be like scoreboard and then still just, you know, reference the game. That is not mentioned. But it's. I don't really think. And if we do beat the Patriots, there's not gonna be any happiness there because guess what? I know we're gonna lose. This is what I don't understand. Thank you, Al. Have a great weekend. You have fans who were surprised by their teams, but you shouldn't be surprised by your teams because your teams have been this way for a while. And yes. Why can we look so good and then we can look so bad? You're right. It happens. But it's. It's just weird. They're weird moments in the season where you go that doesn't make any sense. But I think it's going to happen. Or that team, they're not any good. Like the Dolphins are going to beat somebody and it'll surprise you. Tennessee might beat somebody. It. It. You know, the Bears might beat somebody and it'll surprise you. Yes. Marvin Took the words out of my mouth. The Chicago Bears are in that category. Yeah. Of they can be a championship contender one minute and a top 10 draft pick the next. Charles Barkley will join us. Coming up in about 25 minutes from now. Update our poll results. Ritz. He's got his Halloween names. That'll be coming up a little bit later. We want to tease the audience for that. Todd, I just took Frank Gore out of there. I was warned. Boo. Weekly on hour two right after this. What's that sound? That's the sound of downy unstoppable scent beads going into your washing machine and giving your clothes freshness that lasts all day long. There it is again. It's like music to your ears. Or more like music to your nose. That freshness is irresistible. Let's get to up. Downy Unstoppables. Bottle shake. And now a Sniff solo. Nice. With Downy Unstoppables, you just toss wash wow. For all day freshness.

Kind of like Robin Hood, except for the part where he steals from the rich and gives to the poor. I'm not that generous.

[Dan Patrick]

It's a damn near inspiring true story for anyone out there who's ever shot for the moon, then just totally muffed up the landing. They stole $17 million and had not bought a ticket to help him escape.
