Dan Patrick
You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on FOX Sports Radio Hour 2 on this Tuesday, Dan and the Dan Etch Dan Patrick Show. Just how dangerous are the Rams? Ask the Minnesota Vikings 877-3-DP show email address dpdanpatrick.com Twitter handle @DP Show. You can dial us up Operator Tyler sitting by People fired up about the Vikings moving forward. Are they moving forward with Sam Darnold or are they going to let him go? Free agency market the Cowboys situation. They need a new head coach. Tim Calashaw, Dallas Morning News columnist, will join us here momentarily. Tim wrote a column and he starts the column out by saying Dak Prescott Season one that began with an agreement. That glorious morning in Cleveland that made him the highest paid player in NFL history was his worst in nine years. With the Cowboys, it lasted eight games. His statistics were poor. The team's record three and five was worse. That, above all else, is the reason Mike McCarthy is looking for a job today. The headline is, if Jerry Jones doesn't get a coach to fix Dak Prescott, Cowboys will remain a laughing stock. I don't know if you get somebody to fix a guy who's injury prone and 32 years of age coming off hamstring surgery, this is who he is. He can't run anymore, so he's got to be a great pocket passer. Who are you bringing in that's going to say, let me make him a great pocket passer? Yes.
Tim Calashaw
And by not, I'm not going to say getting you didn't get rid of Mike McCarthy, but you didn't bring him back, maybe is the right way to say that. Right. It does kind of appear from the outside that the Cowboys don't really have a plan unless, unless they do. I, I mean, I don't know. Maybe they already had a plan B. A coach in waiting like Al, if Mike doesn't resign, we're going to go with this guy. But it does appear that they don't really have a plan. Especially with everything that you just mentioned about the quarterback situation. You got a bunch of other high priced players. What's the direction that they're going in as a franchise?
Dan Patrick
Well, I think we've been able to say that the last 30 years. What direction are they going in now? Have they had success? Yes, but if you're a Cowboy fan, success is winning championships, not getting to the postseason, not ending up with 13 wins. Bowing out to the Green Bay packers in an embarrassing fashion last year. And also with Mike McCarthy. He deserved better. I was curious, how many coaches in NFL history have had at least 11 seasons with 10 wins or more? Don Shula had 20 seasons with at least 10 wins. Belichick had 20, Andy Reid 19, Tom Landry 16. And then it's Mike Tomlin, Marty Schottenheimer, John Harbaugh and Mike McCarthy. So Mike has carved out a borderline hall of Fame resume. Feels like, you know, Sean Payton has had 10 of these seasons. Tony Dungy had 10. You know, going down this list, Shula, hall of Famer, Belichick is Reed Landry, Tomlin. John Harbaugh is probably going to be a Hall of Famer. Sean Payton probably a Hall of Famer. Tony Dungy Is a Hall of famer. Mike McCarthy's in this group. He's in the neighborhood here. I just don't know. If we look at out of all of those coaches, do you look at him with the same reverence that you do the others? And I would have thought, hey, Mike McCarthy coming in there, will he stand up to Jerry Jones? And he didn't. I mean, he did succeed until he loses his quarterback and then it went south after that. But if you're only going to offer him a one year deal. That's what was reported. Well, your professional pride is I don't want to be hanging, you know, I don't want to be just in limbo. And that's not fair to Mike McCarthy. You either want him or you don't. Yes, Marvin.
Marvin
Yeah, for the Cowboys. Don't you think they need somebody who's a culture changer? Because right now the Cowboys are just the Kardashians. They're just famous for being famous.
Dan Patrick
Whoa, scalding.
Marvin
Like, what's their culture? It's uncertainty and being famous.
Dan Patrick
So is Jerry Kim. Thanks.
Marvin
He's Kris Jenner.
Dan Patrick
Okay.
Marvin
Like the ringleader.
Dan Patrick
Oh, the Mominger. Correct. Yes, Rhett.
Tim Calashaw
But the culture is the owner. Who's going to come in and change him? Nobody.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, you're right. Yes, Marvin.
Marvin
Well, I was going to say Dion might have enough cachet. Hey, if you want me, this is how I need to run things.
Dan Patrick
But do you think. Do you think Jerry Jones is going to stop being Jerry Jones? Holding press conferences after games, doing his radio show, two radio shows. Like, he loves this stuff. He can't get enough of this stuff. And then Dion's going to come in and look, Dion loves to self promote, but he's going to be working for the ultimate self promoter in the NFL. But we'll talk to Tim Calashaw coming up. Kurt Warner was on the call last night. He will join us coming up as well. Mark Sanchez from Fox Sports will stop by. So Bears, Cowboys, Jags, Jets, Raiders, Saints. Does Mike McCarthy get another head coaching opportunity? And I don't know if this is true or not. I'm trying to, you know, verify this. Are the Bears zeroing in on Pete Carroll? That's interesting. Interesting. What is he? You can't mention his name without his age. Is he 73? Like you get to a certain point in your life and then you're. That's part of your name. It's like 73 year old Pete Carroll. Like at what point did it become your age and then your name repeats the middle name.
Paulie
It does feel, though, anything the Bears do is poked apart by their fans. In the media, you interview Pete Carroll, but you don't interview Bill Belichick. Last year, you know, everything they do seems backwards. Last year, you interviewed nobody. This year, you're adding people every day. They're up to 13 head coaching interviews. You didn't get the call then, did you? If you did, you let me.
Dan Patrick
I did not. I'd love to have you. No, I turned it down. I said I'm sorry.
Paulie
Took your name out of consideration.
Dan Patrick
I can't. I can't change the culture here. All right, let's see. Tom in North Carolina. Hi, Tom. What's on your mind today? Hey, DB I got a hot take on the Vikings.
Seaton
Not really a real hot take, but.
Dan Patrick
I think that what Kevin O'Connell did with Sam Darnold this year, I think Daniel Jones will be the starter next year, and he the new darling. Well, I don't think he's going to be the darling, but he might be a bridge quarterback there. Tom, thank you.
Paulie
He was getting loose. He had a statement.
Dan Patrick
He was. It was. Yeah. He waited until he got on the air before he cleared his stroke. Tim Caleshaw, Dallas Morning News sports columnist. He's got it easy. He's always got something to write about. And here you go, right on a platter. All. I think you wrote two columns like you're on fire with what's going on here. So let me start with. Is the Dion possibility a true possibility, in your opinion?
Seaton
In my opinion, Dan. Thanks for having me. I. I think. No, but given that it's Jerry Jones, I'm certainly not going to rule it out there. There's something about the allure of doing something like that that would appeal to him. However, I. I just think he's going to try to find somebody. Somebody else. You know, when you look at Deion, after two years, what is his record of Colorado? About 500. Barely over it. And I just. I don't think that's going to be. I don't think this team is. Needs a motivator. And I think Deion stuff works better in college than it will in the NFL. I think this team needs a coach, and it needs different schemes and it needs new ideas. And I'm not saying Dion could bring that, but I think Deion's greatest strength works better on college players.
Dan Patrick
And you bring this up in your column, you're saying you got to fix Dak Prescott. Tim. That's gonna be difficult for a guy who's Injury prone, making that kind of money, and is a pocket quarterback and is 32 years of age. I don't know who can fix that.
Seaton
You find those aspects troubling, the fact.
Dan Patrick
That he's 30.
Seaton
Of the games? Yeah. And that's why, you know, I've thrown out Cliff Kingsbury. Look, Ben Johnson is everybody's first choice, and nobody has any idea what he would be like as a head coach. But everybody loves Detroit's offense. But you go through Detroit's offense player by player, and, you know, Dallas doesn't. Doesn't win anywhere except maybe, maybe CD Lamb is a notch higher than Lamont Rob. But it's not much, if it is at all. And yeah, but if you're the Cowboys, if you're Jerry Jones, you have to hope all you can do after signing Dak to that contract is hope you get three or four mostly healthy years out of it. And who. Who can put together the best offense that he can thrive in. I think that has to be the target here.
Dan Patrick
What happened here in the last two weeks with Mike McCarthy?
Seaton
I don't know that anything did. I mean, that the fact that they met every day last week. You know, I do feel for Mike McCarthy sitting through those meetings. The sun never sets on a Jerry Jones conversation. They just go on and on. And, you know, in Jerry's world, they didn't even get to contracts till the last day. So I don't know what in the world they talked about. I think Jerry's mind was probably made up if they didn't do better in the playoffs this year, no matter how that happened, he needed to go another direction. It's five years. It's one playoff win. One playoff win over Nate. 19. So, you know, I don't think anything went wrong. McCarthy, actually, I thought coach the hell out of him after Dak left.
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
Seaton
And the way they played down the stretch, they could have won the Cincinnati game, and they could have won, obviously, could have won the Washington game. But while Dak was here, they were three and five and they were a mess. And, you know, I just think after five years, he had to go look for another. Another voice. Try something else.
Dan Patrick
Okay, but why didn't Jerry make the decision when you had the window of opportunity to interview Ben Johnson?
Seaton
Because he doesn't operate that way. Because he likes to drag his feet and take a week, give us headlines for talk shows and things like that. I don't really think I just mentioned Ben Johnson. I don't think he will hire Ben Johnson. I don't Think the quiet, soft spoken, brainy offensive coordinator. They had one of those in Kellen Moore. And I don't think that's Jerry's idea of the head coach. So I'll be. If Ben Johnson becomes a serious candidate, I would be very surprised.
Dan Patrick
Any chance that Mike McCarthy had a good day yesterday?
Seaton
Yeah, I would think so. I mean, look, he's been here five years, so he's made 35 or 40 billion. He hasn't done badly here. It might be. And he turned it down, whatever it was, a one year offer, supposedly for about the same money. He's confident he'll get the Bears job or another job or sit out a year and try again. And he's not a bad coach. I just don't think. I don't think he enhanced whatever his reputation was before coming here. I don't think he enhanced it in these five years.
Dan Patrick
Well, he kind of got neutered there. And I don't know if he was ever viewed as a coach that was submissive.
Paulie
It.
Seaton
It's always difficult here. Parcells is the only hire since Jimmy that Jerry has sort of taken a couple of steps back and let him be the head coach. You know, it's appalling to me that, you know, Jerry Jones does. Jerry Jones does his post game press conference at home games the same time Mike McCarthy's talking, of course. And there's. There's, like me and four other people in Mike McCarthy's. Everybody else is gathered around. Jared, just think of what that does, not just to the head coach, but to the signal it sends to all the players walking out. They know who the authority figure here is.
Dan Patrick
Okay, Tim, If I said to Jerry Jones, you can't talk to the media. You don't do any more interviews for the next five years, but I'll guarantee you, you win one more Super Bowl.
Seaton
Oh. Oh. He's talked about how much money he says he would spend, although he doesn't really spend it. That would be a difficult one.
Dan Patrick
No radio shows, nothing.
Seaton
This man does two radio shows a week, Dan.
Dan Patrick
Oh, I know. And he'd do more probably if he could.
Seaton
He'd like to do drive time.
Dan Patrick
He would like to host three to.
Seaton
Six Going Home with Jerry. But that would be a. Yeah. At this point, at this point in his tenure here on this planet, I don't think he's. I don't think he's going through that. That's too tough. Maybe one year. One year, not fine.
Dan Patrick
Oh, he couldn't do it. No, he could not do it. He Loves it. He's addicted to it. And he wants everybody to know that he knows what he's doing. Just trust me. I got a plan.
Seaton
It's in good hands.
Dan Patrick
Great to talk to you as always and. And probably check in with you again soon because you're going to eventually get a head coach here.
Seaton
They will have a head coach. We'll see who that is.
Dan Patrick
Thank you, Tim. All right, that's Tim Calashaw, star of around the Horn. He also gets around to doing Dallas Morning News columnist work there. You imagine, you say to Jerry, jerry, you can't say word. No interviews, you know, no features here, no documentaries, no nothing. And you're going to win another Super Bowl. Well, how long do I have to not talk? Yes. Yeah.
Tim Calashaw
It's interesting what Tim said there, because he said that he doesn't think that a guy like Ben Johnson, sort of like a quiet, brainy type guy, is Jerry Jones style of coach. Maybe that's exactly what they need. Jerry is the star. He's the guy up front. You don't need a larger than life personality to also combat that. You know what I mean? Or to go alongside of that. There's. There's really only room for one guy in the camera there.
Dan Patrick
But here's the problem I have with it. That, yes, that is the reality of this. But I got to bring in somebody who will stand up to Jerry because Jerry has made some decisions that aren't the right decisions or at the right time, but nobody stands up to him. They're like, okay, yeah.
Tim Calashaw
See, it kind of feels like they just had that guy who, like, came in with a certain amount of, like, I don't know if it's cachet or certainly coaching history where you're not really going to tell me how to do this because I'm the guy who knows how to do that. I don't know that standing up to Jerry and pushing back works there either, does it?
Dan Patrick
I don't think that Mike McCarthy stood up to him. I don't think so. Now he might say, no, I did. I picked my spots, maybe, but I can't imagine, you know, Jerry has a type. You know, it's like one guy goes, oh, I got a type of woman that I. Jerry has a type of coach, and that's what he wants. He is. If he could play quarterback, he'd play quarterback. Your owner, your gm, you're the mouthpiece for the friend. It's. It's not changing anytime soon. And we said, do you sign Dak Prescott to that contract? I Wouldn't have. He did. He waited a long time. CD Lamb is a star. Can you feature him enough? I wouldn't have brought back Zeke Kelly now. Have they had some good drafts? They have. Now you got to pay Micah Parsons. He's going to want $40 million a year. Yeah.
Paulie
Pauline, remember a couple years ago, maybe two, three years ago, when they had the assistant coaches, Dan Quinn and Kellen Moore, and they're like, don't let either of those guys out of the building. Don't let them go. You'd rather hire one of them and bounce Mike McCarthy. Then you can't bring back Dan Quinn. He's all set in Washington. He's going nowhere. He's set. But Kellen Moore is the offensive coordinator of the Eagles. He's very young still. He looks like he's 12. I think he's like under 40. That seems like a guy that.
Dan Patrick
But okay. But Kyle Shaw says you got to fix Dak Prescott. You can't fix somebody who's 32 and injury prone. You just can't. And the offensive line is not like the Lions or the Eagles. The offensive line used to be great. It's not. You don't have a dangerous running back. You got CD Lamb. You got a couple of impact players on defense. I don't. I don't know if you can bring in. And is it a culture changer or is it somebody who's going to come in and be able to fix Dak Prescott? Can you get both? All right, we'll take a break. We'll talk to Kurt Warner. He was on the call last night, and we'll talk to him about just how dangerous the Rams are and what does he expect to happen in Dallas. Back after this Dan Patrick show.

Adnan Virk
What's up everybody? Adnan Burke here to tell you about a new podcast from iHeart podcast and the National Hockey League. It's NHL Unscripted with Virk and Demers.
Jason Demers
Hey, I'm Jason Imers, former 700 game NHL defenseman turned NHL Network analyst and boy oh boy does Daddy have a lot to say.
Adnan Virk
I love you by the way, on NHL Network, we're looking forward to getting together each week to chat and chirp about the sport and all the other things surrounding it that we love right.
Jason Demers
Yeah, I just met you today, but we're gonna have a ton of guests from the colliding worlds of hockey, entertainment and pop culture. And you know what, tons of back and forth on all things NHL.
Adnan Virk
Yeah, you're soon going to find out we're not just hockey talk. We get all kinds of random stuff on this podcast. Movies, television, food, wrestling, even the stuff that you wear in NHL.
Jason Demers
Now you wish you could pull off my short shorts, Ferkie.
Adnan Virk
That's short of Kazarakis. Listen to NHL unscripted with Burke and demers, the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Dan Patrick
Kurt Warner, hall of Famer. You can catch him on NFL Network's game day morning. He was on the call for Westwood One radio last night with the wild card game between the Vikings and the Rams. Kurt, good to see you again. What did you expect pre game was going to happen last night?
Kurt Warner
Yeah, Dan, I wish I knew. I didn't really know what to expect. You know, anytime you throw, you know, everything that was thrown at the Rams into this week, including, you know, issues with your family and maybe friends of yours. I don't think you ever really know how team is going to respond, how they are going to grow together. But I think Sean McVay did an unbelievable job. Give some credit to the Cardinals. I thought they did an unbelievable job of welcoming the Rams and making them feel at home. But what a performance. I mean, they came out from the get go and they dominated that game. And I think oftentimes when you have situations like this, Dan, it goes one of two ways, right? And you find out pretty early whether a team is ready to play or whether their mind is on something else. And we saw very early that the Rams were ready to play.
Dan Patrick
Okay, let's look at Sam Darnold because we know his future could be at stake in Minnesota these last two games. What did you see from Sam Darnold that you didn't see in the other games this season?
Kurt Warner
Well, first of all, we'll put it on the team as a whole. I thought Minnesota got physically dominated in both games. So that's the first issue is. And it wasn't just up front, sometimes it was on the back end with the receivers as well. But maybe the biggest thing for me was Sam, and I kind of saw it all year long was his struggles with pressure. You know, understanding when pressure is coming and having answers for that pressure. And sometimes that answer isn't even just a completion, but it's just saving some yards you know, there was that situation in the fourth quarter last night where they're in, what, third and eight or something like that, and he takes the huge sack. I mean, in that situation, you got to at least set up for a field goal. So if nothing else, throw the football away. Maybe you go for it on fourth down because you're in that situation. But there was too many times this year of him just holding and taking negative plays, and those negative plays are just hard to overcome. So that, to me, was probably the biggest issue that I saw. And then you have to ask yourself the question, as I know everybody is, is okay if you want to keep him around, what does that look like? What kind of commitment do you have to make to him? And, you know, in those big games, the two biggest games of the year, he didn't play very well. Are you willing to, you know, commit to him long term, you know, after seeing that?
Dan Patrick
All right, I'll ask. You play gm Would you keep Sam Darnold if the price is right?
Kurt Warner
I would say, yes. I would keep him if the price is right. I think the question would be, how long do I have to keep him? And then the other factor, Dan, is I don't really know what we have in J.J. mcCarthy. Like, I didn't see him in preseason. I didn't know where he was. I don't know if, you know, the Vikings were ready to start him after that one preseason game or if, you know, they hadn't seen enough and Sam was the guy. So I feel like after watching them this year, they've got a good enough team that they need a guy at that position to make them competitive. Sam made them more than competitive all year long. But that, to me, is the question. I don't really know what you have in J.J. mcCarthy. I didn't see enough in college. I didn't see enough with the Vikings to know for sure. If you feel like you have enough, then absolutely not. You go with JJ and you move forward. But if you're not sure, I think it's hard to let a guy that did that well out of the building. And you say, okay, so we saw one flaw or we saw a flaw with our team. We need to fix that flaw. But if we do, we've got this quarterback that played at a really, really high level.
Dan Patrick
Okay, but is this fixable? You're talking about pressure. Well, every quarterback faces pressure. The difference is you welcomed pressure. He seemed to be unnerved or very nerved by it. Like, oh, my God. And then you start to kind of get out of your comfort zone. So can you fix what you saw the last two games, Dan?
Kurt Warner
I wish I knew the answer to that, but. But I'm with you. I think there are some people that in that moment when pressure's on them, high stakes, they can just slow the game down and make the right decision. I made a comment about Jaden Daniels from the night before, and what I love about Jaden Daniels is he makes the right decision in the moment, even if he doesn't see it, even if something's not open, he'll throw the football away. You know, he'll take off and make a two or three yard gain instead of taking these sacks. And here's a rookie that we're seeing do this. And so I've always wondered if that's something that truly can be taught, you know, when you've got pressure around you or when the game speeds up, can you slow it down and have that answer? I think, you know, I think for the most part, if you're good at it, you're good at it. Do you, do I think you can help a quarterback? Sure, you can help them by giving them some answers, but I don't know if that's something that all of a sudden we're going to see a quarterback that's not good against pressure become great against pressure. I'm not sure that's something that, that you can really learn.
Dan Patrick
How threatening are the Rams?
Kurt Warner
I think they're. They're scary, and I think they're scary in a game where they can win the line of scrimmage. And that, to me, is going to be the biggest.
Dan Patrick
But you're going against the, the Eagles now.
Kurt Warner
Exactly. And so that, to me is where I feel like the Rams could struggle a little bit is up front, you know, if they can handle it up front. They obviously have playmakers. They've got a young front. I mean, nine sacks last night by eight different guys. They got lots of guys that can get after the quarterback. I just don't think Philly is going to play that sort of game. So I think they are a dangerous team based on what Matthew Stafford can do, the weapons that they have. But it has to be more their, their way of playing football. And I'm not sure they're going to be able to dictate that against Philly.
Dan Patrick
He's the hall of Famer Kurt Warner. You can see him on NFL game day mornings with Rich Eisen and company. He was on the call last night. The Vikings and the Rams. If I said you can have Jaden Daniels moving forward or Justin Herbert.
Kurt Warner
Oh, I'm. I'm taking Jaden Daniels. I mean, no. No doubt about it. I mean, I just. I've seen that young man play.
Dan Patrick
Is he a quarterback, Kurt?
Kurt Warner
Maybe just outside of that. But I'm probably only saying that because I. Because he's a rookie, right. And because, you know, gets one year and one body of work. But if I stacked up all the things that he does well and put him up against the top five quarterbacks in the league, it would be hard for me to find five guys that do all the things as well as Jaden Daniels has done this year. The critical moments, handling pressure, just the consistency of his technique, the red zone. You know, normally you have struggles in the red zone because everything gets tighter. He has been phenomenal in the red zone, last two minutes of games in critical moments, like, it would be hard to probably find five guys that have played consistently better than him all year long.
Dan Patrick
I think. You were 28 when you were a rookie, weren't you?
Kurt Warner
My first year playing? Yes, I was 28.
Dan Patrick
Yeah. Yeah, 20, 28. The bills and the Ravens and both of these quarterbacks trying not to do too much. Like, you almost have to say to yourself, okay, I still got to be that same person that I've been all season long or my career. But sometimes you want to play outside of yourself, and sometimes we've seen where, you know, you're. You're your own worst enemy. So how do you have that seat belt on that says, just stay within yourself here?
Kurt Warner
I think the biggest thing, Dan, is you don't predetermine that you're going to do something that maybe that the situation doesn't dictate. You know, like if you drop back and you're telling yourself, hey, I'm gonna take off here if I. If I see any kind of a window, as opposed to reading the play and then taking off when the play dictates that. That, to me is the key, is you have to play the play. But the easy thing to do is I need to make a big play right here. So I'm going to go back and I'm going to throw this deep one, you know, if I get any scenario. Like, you can't talk yourself into doing things that the situation doesn't dictate for you to do. And I'm sure, you know, you know me, I wasn't a runner. I couldn't move. So my dictating was, you know, saying, I'm going to kind of force a deeper throw or make a bigger play than was out there. For these guys, it's taken off and creating, you know, instead of, you know, winning with their arm, it's like, hey, I can go back. And I see these guys do this at times where they hit their back foot and they're already taken off to run because they felt something. And in those situations, I almost feel like it's. You're dictating that ahead of time. I know this is a pass, but if I drop back and I see something, I'm just going to take off and run instead of allowing the situation to play out for you. And I think that's what you have to fight. The more talented you are, the more things you can do, the more you have to fight that and say, play within myself. Play within what the play dictates. And don't try to do too much. Not always an easy thing to do. But that, to me is the key, is play, play to play. And don't allow those thoughts that get in your head, you know, ahead of time to dictate how you're going to play.
Dan Patrick
How desirable is the Cowboys, John?
Kurt Warner
I mean, I think it's always desirable from the standpoint that, you know, if you win as a Dallas Cowboy, if you have success as a Dallas Cowboy, you're going to get notoriety and you're going to have, you know, that platform that I think, you know, every player and every coach covets, right? When you get to this level, you want to know that when you play, you're going to be on TV and what you do is going to be, you know, going to be focused on around the league. But, you know, I think everybody's talked about it. There's the negative side to that as well, because we have this perception that the Cowboys are supposed to win championships, even though it hasn't been. It's been 30 years since they've won championships. So, like Mike McCarthy, you win a lot in the regular season. Not good enough, not good enough, not good enough. And then we always talk about, the second factor is you've got an owner that. That wants to be out in the forefront and the owner saying things that, you know, as a coach, you're like, I don't want anybody saying that. You know, I want to keep this stuff in house. I want to be able to lead here. And you've got to fight your ownership a little bit in what they're saying and deal with that. So, you know, those two factors, I think, can. Can make it a tough job. But I don't think anybody, you know, that wants to be a head coach is going to turn down the opportunity to be a head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. Because you know what that means. If you believe in yourself and you have success, what that can mean for your career.
Dan Patrick
Good to talk to you, as always. Thank you.
Kurt Warner
Always good to talk to you too. Thank you, buddy.
Dan Patrick
Thank you, buddy. That's Kurt Warner, hall of Famer. You can see him on NFL game day mornings. And was on the call last night, Noah in North Carolina. Good morning, Noah. What's on your mind? Morning, Dan. Patrick. Dan. And more, I think specifically Fritzi. Are you at work, Noah?
Seaton
Yeah, yeah.
Dan Patrick
I'm going somewhere quiet. Okay. Is that any better? Do you guys want to guess what Noah does for a living? Todd, what do you think? Worked on some kind of print shop or carpentry work. Okay, Seaton, got a guess where, Noah? Just judging from the background noise, I'm.
Tim Calashaw
Gonna guess that they're loading.
Dan Patrick
Loading dock.
Tim Calashaw
Loading stuff there.
Dan Patrick
Yeah. Okay. What about you, Marv?
Marvin
He works in Amazon warehouse.
Dan Patrick
Oh, okay. Okay. Well, that's specific. Okay.
Paulie
Paulie, Outdoors construction. They're doing a little demo work today in the cold.
Dan Patrick
A little demo work there? I'm gonna say auto repair. It is. I am actually building an Amazon. Whoa. So you're building a Amazon warehouse?
Seaton
Yeah, yeah.
Dan Patrick
One of their distribution centers. Marvin, I'm gonna give that to you. Congratulations. Blue.
Jon Stewart
Blue.
Dan Patrick
All right. No. Would you have to pay off a bet?
Jon Stewart
Yeah.
Seaton
So.
Dan Patrick
I'm really glad the stress is over and I betrayed my team and I took the pitiful Steelers to go to the super bowl. And it's a deserved pie to the face. And I'm looking forward to taking this one. And I will never do this again because I believe now and I'm glad.
Kurt Warner
I need you to.
Dan Patrick
Noah, we need somebody you work with to videotape that and then send it in so we can play it on the show. But good to hear from you and thanks. Thanks for joining us. So that's Noah building an Amazon distribution center. I believe so, Marvin. I'm in. Give you credit for that. Well done.
Marvin
Hey, Amazon's everywhere. Why not?
Dan Patrick
Yeah. Dylan in Nashville. Hi, Dylan. What's on your mind today? Hey, Dan. Six foot, 195. Wanted to see what you thought about the possibility that Dallas hires Dion and then trades up with the Titans, sends Dak to Nashville and draft shoulder. But if I'm Nashville, why do I want Dak Prescott? I like how we always look at trades as one sided. Like how does my team benefit here. You never think about the other side. I remember listening to Mike and the Mad Dog on WFA New York, and people would always call in with these trade proposals. I'm thinking that maybe we send Luis soho to the Red Sox for David Ortiz. I'll hang up and listen. Then you go, what do we send them?
Tim Calashaw
Benny Agbayani and two picks for Roger Clemens.
Paulie
Like the Titans are sitting around going, how could we get older and more injured at quarterback and spend more on the position? Let's go.
Dan Patrick
Hey, what about Dak Prescott?
Paulie
Oh, he's old.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, let's spend a whole lot of money on a guy that's injury prone and he's 32. I like that philosophy. We'll take a break. When we come back, we played the Sam Darnold game and a very special NFL quiz after this.

Adnan Virk

Jason Demers

Adnan Virk

Dan Patrick
Mike Vrabel, he's already stepped into the job, and he's already trying to change the culture in New England. Here's the Patriots new head coach.
Kurt Warner
I want to galvanize our football team. I want to galvanize this building. I want to galvanize our fans. And the most important thing are the players. There's some of them right here. I want to provide a program that provides their ownership, but also their accountability of each other, and one that they'll be proud to be able part of.
Dan Patrick
Okay, Seaton, are you fired up with Mike Brable as the Patriots new head coach?
Tim Calashaw
Yeah. Yeah, I think it's awesome. I think it's a great hire. I think it's terrible for what we do in this business, though, if he's going to have that pleasant demeanor. Hey, thanks a lot, Jim, for asking the question. You know, I'm really glad that you asked that. Let me answer you, and here's my thoughts on that. What the hell are we supposed to do now?
Paulie
I see what Seaton saying. He and I were sitting here watching it yesterday, and every time Mike Brable was asked a question, the reporter's like, mike, great to have you back. Hey, good to see you, Timmy.
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
Paulie
Charles. It was the opposite of Belichick.
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
Tim Calashaw
He didn't call anybody stupid. He didn't, like, roll his eyes once. No real audible sighs.
Paulie
He enunciated.
Dan Patrick
Yeah.
Tim Calashaw
He didn't belittle or demean anyone.
Paulie
Yeah, I miss the old days that.
Tim Calashaw
Was happening in New England.
Dan Patrick
Yeah. Although I loved Belichick last night. The irascible Bill Belichick. When, when they. They didn't call a fumble or intentional grounding on Matthew Stafford. And Belichick had this to say on the Manning cast cross. He ran into the left tackle, in.
Jon Stewart
Fact, throw the pass forward number 17 was in the area. Therefore it is an incomplete pass.
Dan Patrick
Second, it's an offensive league. What are you guys doing? There's no rules to help the defense in the NFL. You can get away with that. They called an incomplete pass. Okay. I think it was the right call, but it felt like it was the wrong call. It was like, ah, come on. You're gonna punish the Vikings for that moment. That would have tied the game 10:10. But here's Belichick. Ah, come on. It's an offensive. He's right. As a defensive minded guy, the defense doesn't get any breaks ever. Never. Yes. Paulie.
Paulie
The pass went less than four feet into the ground. Generally near an offensive player. It just didn't feel like a pass in the definition of the word pass. And also it was clearly grounding and that couldn't be reviewed and called. But it didn't feel like a pass. It felt like a defensive caused turnover.
Dan Patrick
But if Mahomes makes that same kind of move, we say the following. Wow, that's a genius. Only him.
Tim Calashaw
I mean, who else could do that in this league other than Patrick Mahomes?
Dan Patrick
I mean, is that, I mean, this guy unbelievable or what? So smart. Oh, was that your Tony Romo impression? Let's go to Tony. Tony, what did you think of that play?
Tim Calashaw
That's how you got it.
Dan Patrick
I mean, look at this guy. Hello, Jim. How great is he? Yes, Marvin.
Marvin
But Mahomes, he's completed a pass like that.
Dan Patrick
You're right.
Marvin
Matthew Staffords never even attempted to pass the ball like that. It looks like he was throwing trash away. Mahomes, that's in his arsenal. That's the difference.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, yeah. Of course, nobody else could do it. Only Patton.
Seaton
I.
Dan Patrick
You got quarterback. Nobody even thinks of doing that. Yes, Todd, I need to know more.
Kurt Warner
About this in the area receiver thing.
Seaton
I think it requires more explanation.
Kurt Warner
Is it totally subjective or. He's two yards away, he's four yards away.
Dan Patrick
He's half facing the quarterb.
Kurt Warner
What's in the area?
Dan Patrick
It once again it felt like it was an incorrect call, but I guess by the book it was the correct call. And even Stafford, as he's on the ground, he's like pointing towards. Nope, it's our. It's Our ball. Our ball. And that was a big play. I don't know if it changes the game, but at least it would have tied the game. All right, time to play a quick NFL quiz, and then we'll play the Sam Darnold game if we have time this hour. All right, Paulie, the quick NFL quiz.
Paulie
You mentioned Matthew Stafford. Matthew Stafford's having a great career, won a Super Bowl. He's only been nominated to two Pro Bowls. Two Pro bowl nominations. Right. It's fair to say he may not get another two Pro Bowls for Matt Stafford. Is it also fair to say he's going to the hall of Fame someday?
Dan Patrick
Yes.
Paulie
I think most people lean that way.
Dan Patrick
Okay, the fewest Pro bowl appearances for a Hall of Fame quarterback, that's the.
Paulie
No. For a Hall of Famer, the person in the hall of Fame currently in the NFL hall of Fame.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, but you should do hall of Fame quarterbacks.
Paulie
I have that as well. We can go quarterback judge them.
Dan Patrick
Yeah, we judge them differently.
Paulie
Okay, let's do quarterbacks first.
Dan Patrick
Okay. This is the fewest number of Pro bowl nominations for a Hall of Fame quarterback.
Paulie
The number is three Pro Bowls, which will be. Matt Stafford will take that record.
Dan Patrick
Okay. Okay. You got to give us new school. Old school. Old school. And say 19. Prior to 1980 or after 1980?
Paulie
Ah, a little of both. That's a big hint.
Dan Patrick
Okay, hold on, Marvin. Whoa. Marvin's got his hand up. Yes.
Marvin
Dan Fouts.
Paulie
No, but you're close.
Dan Patrick
That's pretty good.
Paulie
He's in the wheelhouse.
Dan Patrick
That's pretty good.
Paulie
Here's the hint. All the players on this list are boosted by their postseasons and super bowl performances.
Dan Patrick
Okay. Boosted Troy Aikman.
Paulie
Now three Pro Bowls. This player.
Dan Patrick
Todd, you got a quarterback. Eli manning. Eli's A4 hall of Fame, but he's not a Hall of Famer yet. Right, Seaton?
Tim Calashaw
Oh, they have to be a Hall of Famer already.
Dan Patrick
Yes, I believe. Yes.
Tim Calashaw
That doesn't. Aaron Rodgers doesn't know.
Dan Patrick
No.
Paulie
Okay, ready?
Dan Patrick
Warren moon.
Paulie
No more 70s than 80s, but. 70s and 80s guy.
Tim Calashaw
More 70s than 80s.
Dan Patrick
Bob Greasy.
Paulie
Terry Bradshaw.
Tim Calashaw
Terrence.
Paulie
Oh. Three Pro Bowls, four Super Bowls. Hall of Famer. Bonus coverage. The mo. The fewest hall of. Fewest Pro bowl appearances by a future hall of famer. It's one. The hint is running back 70s era. 70s, but more 80s than 70s. One big Super bowl for this guy.
Dan Patrick
John Riggins.
Paulie
John Riggins is correct.
Dan Patrick
One Pro Bowl. Rigo. Yeah. Who else is on that list?
Paulie
These are all guys who benefited from a Super Bowl. Two Pro Bowls, Jimbo Covert and Steve McMichael. 85 Bears a lot of fallout there. Art Monk, Drew Pearson, John Stallworth, Lynn Swan, Terrell Davis, all three Pro Bowls.
Dan Patrick
Mark Sanchez, a Pro bowl player.
Paulie
Checking.
Dan Patrick
He'll join us coming up next hour. Final hour in this Tuesday right after this. Some people just know they could save hundreds on car insurance by checking Allstate first.

The episode seamlessly blends expert commentary, listener interaction, and insightful analysis, providing a comprehensive overview of current NFL dynamics for both avid fans and casual listeners.
Timestamp: 02:00 – 05:56
The episode kicks off with Dan Patrick inviting Tim Calashaw, a columnist for the Dallas Morning News, to discuss the precarious situation surrounding the Dallas Cowboys. Tim elaborates on the team's struggles, highlighting that Dak Prescott's underwhelming performance has significantly impacted the Cowboys' season.
Notable Quote:
Tim Calashaw [03:13]: “Dak Prescott's season one that began with an agreement... was his worst in nine years. The team's record three and five was worse... If Jerry Jones doesn't get a coach to fix Dak Prescott, Cowboys will remain a laughing stock.”
Tim underscores the necessity for the Cowboys to find a head coach who can revitalize Dak Prescott, considering the quarterback's injury history and current performance issues. He questions whether Mike McCarthy, the current coach, can effectively lead the team or if a change is imperative.
Timestamp: 05:56 – 09:26
Transitioning from the coaching crisis, Dan Patrick and Tim Calashaw explore the tantalizing possibility of hiring Deion Sanders as the new head coach for the Cowboys. Marvin, another commentator, suggests that the team needs a "culture changer" to move beyond their current reputation.
Notable Quote:

Tim expresses skepticism about Sanders' fit for the NFL, citing his limited coaching success in the league:
Tim Calashaw [09:26]: “I think Deion works better in college than it will in the NFL. This team needs a coach, different schemes, new ideas.”
Dan emphasizes the challenge Sanders would face in standing up to the outspoken owner Jerry Jones:
Dan Patrick [06:36]: “But do you think Jerry Jones is going to stop being Jerry Jones? Holding press conferences after games, doing his radio show...”

Warner raises concerns about Darnold's ability to handle high-pressure situations, questioning the Vikings' future direction regarding their quarterback. The discussion also touches on the Rams' threatening gameplay and their ability to dominate games early on.
