Ryan Leaf
You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio. Lomas Brown, seven time Pro Bowler legend for the Lions. He joins us now to talk about the Lions packers matchup. Lomas, how we doing today, buddy?
- [03:07]
Lomas Brown
I'm doing great, Ryan. Ryan, you look good, my good man. Thank you, Slim. I'm like, wow, you look good, Ryan.
- [03:15]
Ryan Leaf
Yeah, that'll happen when you decide to have kids in your 50s. Well, Loma, so do you. I mean, I mean, what was your playing weight, man? You were probably below three hundreds.
- [03:25]
Lomas Brown
Yeah, my first six years I was 315. My last 12 years in the league, I was between 275 and 280.
- [03:34]
Ryan Leaf
So.
- [03:34]
Lomas Brown
Yeah, you're right about that.
- [03:36]
Ryan Leaf
Yeah, I mean, it goes to show when you see a lot of those former NFL offensive linemen, I mean, to keep that weight on, to stay that strong and physical and be that, you know, presence in the, in the trenches is huge.
- [03:51]
Lomas Brown
Yeah, it really is. And you see a lot of these guys, man, you see Joe Thomas and all these guys now and they drop all that weight. But like you say, Ryan, it's just necessary to carry that weight while you in the league. Once you get out the league, man, let it go. Let it go. If you're a big fella.
- [04:10]
Ryan Leaf
I couldn't get over on. I was there Thursday in Detroit calling the game for Westwood One. And I don't know if it was just me, but the offensive line for the Detroit Lions seemingly feels like they're giants. I mean they're just tall, athletic. They don't have like the dad bought offensive lineman either. It's just, it's rough and rugged. Speaking of that Thursday game, hadn't won a Thanksgiving game since 2016. Was dominating first half kicked field goals rather than got touchdowns against the Bears team that is very good in the red zone defensively but then fell apart in the seventh. What did you see from that game, Lomas, in terms of a. You found a way to win it. But that second half was a trend of what the Lions have been around this time of year every year for the last, you know, since 2016.
- [05:03]
Lomas Brown
Yeah, no, you're right about that. And that's how it's going to be the rest of this season. We got divisional games left. Like you say, the night with Green Bay and then we got Chicago coming again and we got Minnesota again. So all these games are going to be this way. It won't be. I don't think it's going to be any more blowouts. I don't think you're going to see us blowing teams out like we did a few weeks back. I think all these games going to be tough, competitive games because we know each other so well. And like you said with that Chicago game, man, it started off with us moving the ball but not being able to put up seven points when we need. When we got in the red zone, settling for three points and finding a way. Like you said, in the end, with some help from Matt Eberflutz, I'll say it, he gave us a little help, but we were able to overcome that, not going to overtime and win that game. So again, we can expect help like that from the head coach. These are games we're going to have to go into from the start, and we're going to have to be able to finish these games.
- [06:08]
Ryan Leaf
This football team has been transformed under Dan Campbell and thankful that the decision makers there in Detroit didn't get, you know, an itchy trigger finger when things weren't going right right away. And you played during a time where you had, you know, the best running back to maybe ever play and you just couldn't seem to quite get over the top. And it was the Lions. This is different. This team is actually the highest odds to make the super bowl in the nfc, first time ever in NFL history. What's it like to have seen that change there in Detroit with Dan Campbell at the helm and everybody follow suit? Maybe slowly but surely, but the fan base has followed. The team certainly had to believe before anybody else.
- [06:56]
Lomas Brown
Yeah, it's been great. It's been great to see it and just think about the job that not only him, but Brad Holmes and Sheila Hamp Ford. Or just think of the job they had to do. Cause Ryan, they had to change a whole culture. It wasn't just a team and an organization. They had to change the whole culture around the Detroit Lions because it was same old Lions. The fans expected us to lose tight games or to find a way to lose a game. You know, it was always, yeah, they gonna get there, but they're not gonna complete the job now. It's so different now with the influx of guys that we brought in. This is a team now. You have to be able to being a Lion now. It wasn't like that before anybody could play for the Lions. It's not like that anymore. And to be honest with you, who deserves it more are the fans. Because the fans have been suffering for so long. Ryan, it was 30 something years ago when I was here. The last time we went to, you know, other than the last year when we went to an NFC championship game, we've never been to a Super Bowl. We don't know what that's like. So we've been suffering a long time. And like I say, I feel so good for the fans around here because they finally have something to really, really cheer about.
- [08:13]
Ryan Leaf
We're speaking with Lomas Brown, seven time Pro Bowler for the Detroit Lions and the analyst on tonight's broadcast. This packers team a year ago on Thanksgiving, like this was the same time about last year, they came in, no one expected them. I think they were sizable underdog and Jordan Love and this lion or this packers team found a way and then they kind of went on a run that got him into a position into the playoffs. What's this game like, you know, after the last week, a full week off since Thanksgiving, what do you think? The most important thing for Detroit to stop this line to this packers team is going to be the biggest thing.
- [08:53]
Lomas Brown
For us tonight is for us to stop their run game, stop Josh Jacobs. That's the biggest thing we're going to have to do because they want to run the ball. That's their identity just like it's the identity of the Detroit Lions. That's what we do. We establish the run, Jared Goff and all the rest of the weapons, then they can do what they need to do once the run has been established. So us with us being beat up on the D line, my goodness, Ryan 5, our D lineman won't play tonight, so we're really, really beat up. So if I'm Green Bay, that's where I'm trying to attack the Detroit Lions with my inside run game and see how we hold up against that. So to me, the biggest thing we're going to have to do defensively, stop the run. The biggest thing offensively we're going to have to do is put up seven points when we get in the red zone. We're going to have to outscore the Green Bay Packers.
- [09:52]
Ryan Leaf
Yeah, I think that's exactly right. I mean you knew that the Bears weren't going to score in the first half last week. It just, it was not in the cards. So three points were okay, but this is going to be a different story tonight. Lomas, thank you. It's so good to see you. Thanks for taking time today and being a part of the show.
- [10:07]
Lomas Brown
Ryan's good seeing you. Thanks for having me, my man.
- [10:10]
Ryan Leaf
Yes, sir. Lomas Brown, everybody. Seven time pro Bowler for the said Detroit Lions played against him when I was with the Dallas Cowboys. Went up to Detroit playing against Barry Sanders. Whoo. That was something special. But he's. He's exactly right. I mean, there is, like the idea around what do you fear most? You know, do you fear the two teams that are right behind you in the division or anybody outside the division? Because the NFC west and the NFC east or the NFC south, they're just fighting over each other at 6 and 6 or so to get into the playoff and get a. Get a first round playoff game. Philadelphia Eagles, they're a different story. Yeah, the Eagles have just won eight straight, and they cooled off a lot at the end of last season, and a lot of people were down on them to start the season. If you had to pick that game today, Eagles, Lions, you know, this would not have been the answer that I would have given probably two or three weeks ago. But after seeing the Eagles dismantle. I don't care how close that score was. Last week against the Baltimore Ravens, guys, they dismantled Baltimore. That was a beat down. That was an early onslaught of just accepting what was happening and then just putting your foot down on the gas and driving through everything, you know, And I was. I was very critical of their head coach early on. I was like, hey, you know, he seems to be. Nick Sirianni seems to be the liability on this football team with some of the decisions. You recall the Jacksonville Jaguars game, like, he did everything in his power. I felt like to find a way to lose that game. And the defense in Nakobe Dean found a way to win it, you know, and I was like, hey, do they really need him? I mean, they got Kellen Moore, they got Vic Fangio, you know, and the answers for most people were Howie Roseman. It's his puppet. And so Howie needs him there to do what he needs his bidding for. But then there's just this fight and this continuation. Being beat up, injuries offensively, Devontae smith being out, A.J. brown being out. Yeah, it's Aquan Barkley. I mean, a running back position, for whatever it's worth. It depends on what team you're on. Dude's been so special. He's been the difference in this football team. He's allowed Jalen Hertz to. There's a so much off the plate of Jalen Hertz this year. And then defensively, they've gotten better. Those young guys that maybe struggled a little bit last year, trying to find in their way, they drafted well. So I'm going to say It. If I had to pick a game right now for the NFC Championship to get to the super bowl with the way the teams are playing right now, and maybe Detroit can change my, my opinion after tonight's performance. Right now it's the Philadelphia Eagles. That, that the performance against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday was, was one of the most impressive performances I think I've seen from a, from a team that people were a little skeptical of, for a team that a lot of people have a ton of confidence in. Holly, is there a third best team? I mean, there is, but to you, the third most threatening team in the nfc, you know, I would have said the Atlanta Falcons about five weeks ago, four weeks ago, and they've just absolutely turned tail and run. I'd be a little fearful of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tampa Bay is 6 and 6. They've won two in a row, and they're the only team in the NFC south that's outscored their opponents this year. They had a lot of close losses in the first half of the season. Yeah, I mean, Baker Mayfield's an absolute stud. I mean, that team, that team would, that team would walk through traffic, like 5 o'clock traffic in LA. They're walking through it for Baker Mayfield, you know, you know, they're, they're, they're forced to go to a bachelorette party on a, on a Sunday in the fall. They're doing that for Baker Mayfield. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, they're totally doing that. A kid's birthday party, whatever. Bachelorette party, kids, birthday party, doesn't matter. Like this, this team would, would bend over backwards for him. They're willing to jump on the lawsuit to sue his dad, too. They're all in it. They're all in it. Everybody, it. It has been. That's the team in the nfc. The packers, of course, the Vikings. The Vikings just find ways to win. Kevin O'Connell, he's got it down. He figures out ways to win that defense with Brian Flores, they do some fun thing. I mean, I think the NFC is going to be very interesting this year. Very interesting. Afc, too. But the Detroit Lions has been the best team. Jared Goff, for me, was the MVP for a long time. I think probably stepped off that MVP bus. When the five interception game happened, though, they found a way to win and then he came back and turned around through like five touchdowns the next week. So he knows how to overcome, that's for sure. Ironically, it would be completely unbelievable if what Sean McVay did to exile him to Detroit to bring in Matthew Stafford to win a Super bowl, to then watch Jared Goff ultimately win a Super bowl in Detroit, where it's never happened before, where Matthew Stafford couldn't do it. I mean, I think that would be an incredible 30 for 30. Everybody.
- [15:00]
Lomas Brown
Marvin, if the Lions win the super bowl, who gets a statue? Dan Campbell or Jared Goff?
- [15:05]
Ryan Leaf
Oh, one statue. Oh, that's Dan Campbell. Gotta give it to coach because he. Because he. Because he, you know, he. He referenced biting kneecaps. And I think in. In. If you're in Detroit, Jared hasn't said much. Jared. Jared is like, you know, very stoic and just kind of goes about his business. And then you go to Dan and Dan's like, yeah, I'm. I'm, you know, I'm the waiter at Applebee's. I'm freaking biting kneecaps. I'm doing all this stuff. Seaton.
- [15:33]
Derwin James
Yeah.
- [15:33]
Ryan Leaf
It really feels like he is the identity of that team. And everybody has bought in 100%. You know, there's no question who the figure ahead is there and who the guy is. So I'm on the field last week, pregame, and I walk up to Jared and I talk to Jared a little bit, and then I'm walking around, I talk to Amon Ross, St. Brown, and then I see the offensive lineman. I talked to Penay Sewell, and I see these Giants. But guess what? There's even a bigger giant standing right in the middle of them, walking around, talking, each one of them. And Stan Campbell, does he lift before the game? He gets a pump, doesn't he? He looks like he might. He looks like he does, but I think that he's. I think that's just natural, Dan. I think it's natural, Dan. Okay, you guys talked to you guys. I agree with you that if there is a statue for the Lions, it's Dan Campbell. Any chance you could have co statues like they did in Philadelphia? It's Doug Peterson and Nick Foles together calling that Philly special play. That's the statue off the Super Bowl. Well, there would have to be some sort of corroborating play or something that existed between Dan and Jared. I think that that would have to be the corroborating statue. Otherwise. Otherwise right now it's Dan Campbell and Dan Campbell. Is there anything more weird in sports that Nick Foles has a statue outside of stadium? Is that the weirdest thing in sports? If I said it 10 years ago, Nick Foles, I think as a fan, yes. As a former quarterback and having watched him from Arizona stuff, I'm Like, I always, I always knew he was capable of something like that. But the running, so it's not, it's not, it's not super foreign for me. It's weird. Well, he, he has the weirdest pro career of all. He had that 25 touchdown, two interception season. Yeah. Then it didn't work out for a while. Then Carson Wentz gets hurt and he leads him to a Super bowl in a season they thought was over. I mean, it shows. Goes to show, you know, any player who gets it to the NFL at the quarterback level is capable of doing that if they make a run and have a team behind them like they had that year in Philly. And so I love it. I absolutely love it for Nick Foles. I recruited him when I was coaching in college. He, you know, initially went to Michigan State before he got went to Arizona. And he's from a little. Or not a little one. He's from a very, you know, he's from Austin Westlake in, in Austin, Texas, where Drew Brees went as well. Very quarterback heavy. All right, we got to go because when we come back, we're going to, we're going to jump into some. I hear there's some random football questions going to be coming my way for. Very random. Very random. All right. All right. We'll find out here. Thanks for listening, everybody. You're listening to the Dan Patrick Show. I'm Ryan Lee filling in. We'll be right back.

- [22:28]
Ryan Leaf
We're doing well. We're doing well. It's been a lot of fun to watch you guys this year. Jesse Minter, you know, it's just kind of untapped. A little bit of it looks like you guys are having just so much fun flying around young guys, guys that people really don't know. And then you out there as the kind of the stalwart on the back end. Just talk about how much fun it's been this year to play under this new defensive coordinator.
- [22:52]
Lomas Brown
Man, I can't stop smiling every day I come into the building. It's just exciting to come to work with these men. Not only the coaches, but the players. Ever since OTAs, we've been just working our butt off just to go out there and compete. And we finally starting to see the results that we've been putting in and we just want to keep going hard and coach, mentor, man. I can't say nothing but great things about him. He's, he's, man, one of a kind, man. I haven't been around a coach like him and Coach Harbaugh.
- [23:18]
Ryan Leaf
So you, you, you spoke incredibly highly of Jimbo Fisher, your head coach in college. I spent like five seasons with him every fall. Football genius. I mean, when you, when you find guys that, that can flip that switch in you, Jim Harbaugh shows up. There's a different mentality as A former player, Jesse mentor. You see guys acting different. I mean, I'm watching Justin this year. There's, like a little swagger with him. He's throwing a touchdown. He's doing some things. I mean, what's the locker? It just. It's allowed the locker room to be a little freer. It feels, and it comes across.
- [23:51]
Lomas Brown
Yes, sir. Everybody's playing free. Nobody's playing uptight, and we just creating that family environment. Coach Harbaugh, he's. You got the families that practice on Friday, Saturday. This is creating the family environment that I've never been around in the NFL in my seven years. So, man, it's just been a lot of fun. And when you can make it about family, man, you just want to go that much harder for that person. And offense get along with offense, defense get along. It's just the whole team coming together.
- [24:18]
Ryan Leaf
It's incredibly different when you walk into an atmosphere like that. I remember that with, when I was in Tampa with Tony Dungy. Like, you just go from a coaching staff that's. That's so welcoming in terms of what makes things easier. You wonder why that hasn't always been the case. Because you want your guys to be the most, you know, relaxed going into football games. Talk to me about the Atlanta game. I mean, these games this year kind of fit the Harbaugh mold, right? It's. It's offense trying to run the football, hold people back. But defense really had to close out that game. Talk about that kind of final play. They went empty. They brought Drake London over the cross in the middle. He kind of stumbles, and you just. You just knew they had to get to a point. You stepped right in front of an end of the game with that interception.
- [25:00]
Lomas Brown
First of all, I feel like coach did a great job all day calling great plays. I feel like we was in position to make all the plays we needed to make. And like you said, I just seen Drake London in the slot, and as soon as I see him release the ball, I just try to make a play on it for my team. And like I said, coach made a great call, and all year long, he's been making great calls. And as a defense, I feel like we just come in that much closer to where we want to be.
- [25:23]
Ryan Leaf
Yeah, you get the go up front getting after the quarterback Bosa, that, that crew. It's. It's been fun to watch as a former charger, to see that defense kind of going back into the Rodney Harrison Jr. SEO days. That's. That's some fun era football. And we watched the Al Shaizir. Al Shair hit on Trevor Lawrence as a defender. They've made it incredibly difficult on you guys in terms of what the heck is a quarterback going to do? Is he trying to make a little move to get a few more yards to pick up a first down to extend a drive to end a game? You got suspended earlier, and Coach Harbaugh was incredibly disappointed, as was, I think a lot of people that watch football, realistic football, how tough is it to make decisions in the moment, in those split seconds, to make those tackles and do the right thing in the eyes of Park Avenue in New York City?
- [26:13]
Lomas Brown
It's extremely hard. Like you say, you're playing a game at a fast speed, a fast tempo, and as a defender, you're going to just try to get the guy down. And sometimes the angle can change. The guy can see you duck sometimes. And it's just like, we gotta adjust. Like I said, they want to clean up the game, man. And like I said, I'm all for it, man. And I'm trying to find new ways to get better at it myself. I'm still working at it, and I just love to play, man. Honestly, man. And like I say, it's definitely hard on the defenders. I feel like, especially because you don't know if he gonna slide, you don't want to give up the first down as a defender. So this is tough.
- [26:46]
Ryan Leaf
Yeah, they put you in a tough spot. They put you in an absolutely crazy tough spot in terms of. Of what you have to do. Speaking of Coach Harbaugh, so I don't know if you know this, so Coach Harbaugh was my backup in San Diego. He taught me, Derwin. He taught me how to be a professional. You know, it was. That quarterback room was crazy. If he could have been a player coach, I bet you we win a ton more games. If he had been able to be the coach, what's it been like to have him again? And does he. How active is he? Like, is he out there slinging the ball around? Is he catching the ball? I mean, how. Like, how physical is he with you guys in practice? Seems like a lot of fun, and it looks like he's doing it.
- [27:27]
Lomas Brown
I feel like Coach Harbaugh is all in, man. Honestly, man. Ever since OTAs, he's been pulling sleds, man. Honestly, since we've been working out every fourth quarter drill, no lie. Like, he's. He's over there doing manuals with us, man. He's really in. He has his cleats on his cleat game is crazy. He got all the different Jordans, man. It's crazy. So, man, his Jordan game.
- [27:50]
Ryan Leaf
His Jordan game from his time in Michigan. That's what. That's.
- [27:52]
Lomas Brown
Yeah, yeah. He have his cleats on, man. He all in it, man. Like you said here a player, coach, man, every day I try to be like, I'm like a leader, man, when it comes to that leader ability to affect the whole room and the whole organization. I feel like he's. He's one of a kind when it comes to that.
- [28:07]
Ryan Leaf
Yeah. His track record, he goes places. You win. You get a chance to win a championship. That is his track record. It makes me laugh. You've been around Justin for so long. I go and I go away and play golf with Justin every summer. And, you know, he's the kindest, most kind of under unassuming killers. That's a really good way to put it. He's an unassuming killer. He'll go out and rip your heart out with the way he can throw the football and be a leader. But did you see the video of when Coach Harbaugh did the pregame thing with the quarterbacks he'd like to do where he hits them on the shoulders and they punch like. Justin didn't know it was coming, like. And he's trying to, like, be in it, too, but it looks so awkward. Look, what's the strangest kind of pregame thing that coaches kind of come over and batted you up and get you ready physically? What is he. What has he done to get you fired up?
- [28:54]
Lomas Brown
Well, yeah, the same thing. Like, I've been a time where he just came and hit me on the back. Let's go. I need your bed. Let's go, let's go. So he always just trying to get us ready to go, man. Especially that pregame speech in the locker room. There's no speeches like hardball speeches, man. He always got one of a kind for you.
- [29:10]
Ryan Leaf
You guys get to see the Chiefs again here soon. They're the team at the top. I've never felt like the Chargers have ever in any way feared the Chiefs in Arrowhead or whenever. What's it like going up against Patrick Mahomes as an All Pro safety? And how important is it for your team, I think entering the playoffs to defeat a very good AFC team, The Ravens, had a chance a week ago with you guys. When you get a chance to the Chiefs and the teams that you're probably going to meet in the playoffs down the stretch, how important is it you guys to. To show up and play well, first.
- [29:40]
Lomas Brown
Of all, it's always exciting to go against the Chiefs. I feel like the games come down to the end every time and like you say, we have to go in on the road and be able to beat those type of teams because if you want to go where we want to go in the playoffs far those are the type of teams you have to beat. And I trust every man in this locker room from offense, defense to special teams and I know we preparing that way and I can't wait to the game Sunday night.
- [30:06]
Ryan Leaf
The, you know, you get to play a really cool position because you go up against some of the greatest players. The receiver position, the tight end position, catches the running backs out of the backfield. But is there a get you out of this with, with this question here. Is there an underrated player that people don't talk about that maybe like, you know, when you go into a game against someone like that or maybe even somebody on your team when you're going up against them in practice, that he's going to give you fits. He's going to be a player that not everybody's talking about. Not a Travis Kelsey, but this guy. And I think that's a, that's a pretty cool thing when, when you know who you're going up against every single week.
- [30:41]
Lomas Brown
I have to say probably lad McConkey just going against him from training camp. I feel like his track record speaking for himself this season lead all rookies and receiving yards. So man, I feel like he's, he's doing a great job getting open man and becoming that receiver one. And then day on Henley on defense, all the tackles out there, him and Big Puna in the middle. So just those three guys, I feel like a lot of shout outs to those boys. They've been making a lot of plays just under the radar.
- [31:09]
Ryan Leaf
Dayon Henley, everybody. I don't know if you know this or not, but he's a Washington State cougar. Make sure you give him a shout out for me today when you see him, all right?

Listen to WebMD Health discovered on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. Our next guest is gonna be college football analyst. He covers college football for on three sports as well. Good friend of mine. Haven't talked to him, haven't spoken to him in years it feels like, but. Andy Staples joins the show. Andy, what's going on, buddy?
- [35:50]
Derwin James
Ryan, you never write, you never call. Yeah, we do text occasionally though.
- [35:54]
Ryan Leaf
We do check. Well, you usually pointed out to everybody that why are we listening to Will Ferrell call a football game tonight?
- [36:01]
Derwin James
It happens to me sometimes where I am, I am in one of those multi box situations and of course unless it's like the beginning of a quarter, they're not showing your faces. And at first I'll be like, wait, wait, what is what? Farrell Searching. Oh wait, that's Ryan. That's Ryan.
- [36:19]
Ryan Leaf
Well, milk was a bad choice. I know that you were at the Texas, Texas A and M game. I was talking to the guys a little bit early and Andy about what college football is and for me, and this can be of course a projectionist point of mine since I Called only really the Pac 12 games this year for the CW. So a conference that was kind of left behind. I see it a little bit as the minor leagues. I didn't follow it that much. Guys are getting paid. I'd rather see him be. If they're going to get paid, I'd rather see him be playing for the Lions or something like that. But yet there was 100 and whatever, 20,000 people in college Station last weekend to watch Texas, Texas AM renew that rivalry. Where do you see the game of college football? What was it like being there and then watching the 12 team playoff kind of, you know, start to spin this new version of college football in our eyes?
- [37:10]
Derwin James
It's really interesting how it changed our relationship with games in November. I mean, we told the people who wanted to stick to four and the people who wanted to stick to BCS that this would make the November games more meaningful for more teams. And they didn't believe us. Well, they believe us now. Like, it really changed the dynamics of everything because we would not have been watching Miami, Syracuse with nearly as much interest as we were in the game I was at. So Texas and Texas A and M were playing for a spot in the SEC championship game. I mean, you got all the trappings of that rivalry, the fact that they hadn't played since 2011. And then you add some stakes on top of that. I mean, it was, it was a beautiful thing. Not a beautiful game. Not a beautiful game. Both defenses much better than most, but then both offenses. But we did get to see Arch Manning as like the designated runner running quarterback for Texas, which I did not have Arch manning as the 2006 Tim Tebow on my Bambingo card for the year. But I, I kind of love it.
- [38:10]
Ryan Leaf
So don't forget, he's Cooper's kid. He's not Peyton or Eli's kid. Like, right. Cooper was a receiver, was a wide receiver. He's got, he's got some ability on that. Andy Staples here joining us here on the Dan Patrick Show. The biggest gripe. What team may have the biggest gripe so far of being on the outside looking in and not knowing what this weekend is going to project. But what we found out here on.
- [38:31]
Derwin James
Tuesday night, I think Ole Miss, Miami and South Carolina all have the same gripe because they're not really any different from Alabama. Alabama is the one they picked to be in that last spot. Now, Alabama might not get that last spot. If Clemson were to beat SMU in the ACC Championship game, they might leave Alabama there. They might only drop SMU there and drop Alabama out. So we don't exactly know how that's going to play out. And that has been the argument raging in college football land all week is, you know, how dare they choose Alabama? This is so stupid. It's always Alabama. I don't think it's always Alabama. I think it's Alabama in this case. Is Alabama super deserving? No, no, three loss team is super deserving, but they all have flaws and they. There's four that are kind of the same and they got to pick one, and so that's the one they're picking. It seems like.
- [39:21]
Ryan Leaf
Yeah. Is there a team that's most likely this weekend? I mean, because we've had a conversation on the show today about, you know, whether or not these games should even be played. Why, what's the purpose of playing these games? You know, you have. I would argue that Texas is the SEC champion. They have one loss this season in the sec. That makes them the sec.
- [39:40]
Derwin James
Well, they lost to the team that they're going to play tomorrow, so that's.
- [39:43]
Ryan Leaf
A big part of it. Is there a team that you see in the title games tomorrow or on Friday and Saturday that you see likely to be knocked out if we're to get that loss?
- [39:55]
Derwin James
So Boise State will be knocked out if they lose to you. And I'll be on Friday night.
- [39:58]
Ryan Leaf
I.
- [39:58]
Derwin James
That's. That's pretty much a predetermined conclusion. Whether it puts UNLV in or not is another question. It might, but then if army beats Tulane, then there's probably a conversation between UNLV and Army. But this SMU part is really interesting. We had Brett Lashley, the head coach from smu, on my show today, and he said, look, if we all got Covid and didn't play this game, we'd be in the playoff. Yet you're saying if we lose to Clemson, we might be out. How is that right? And my co host, Ari Wasserman asked him, hey, if that happens, if you would, if you did lose and got knocked out, do you think it would change the way coaches approach these championship games? And Rhett last is like, yeah, I think coaches would do some crazy things at that point. Because if you're in the playoff and you've earned the right to play an extra game, the thinking is it shouldn't punish you.
- [40:51]
Ryan Leaf
Yeah.
- [40:51]
Derwin James
But, yeah, if I were a coach and I saw that happen to somebody else, it would make me rethink wanting to play in that game.
- [40:56]
Ryan Leaf
I mean, there's a real argument to be had that, you know, Ohio State losing may have had a little bit of a benefit because now listen, I take. The buy for me is a big deal. The buy is a big deal for me is a. Yeah, yeah, that.
- [41:10]
Derwin James
Well, also the 5 seed is a big deal if you lost the Big Ten championship game if you were Ohio State.
- [41:14]
Ryan Leaf
Yeah.
- [41:14]
Derwin James
Because the five seed plays the 12, which may not necessarily be the number 12 team that may be a conference champion. They got raised up to 12.
- [41:22]
Ryan Leaf
Yeah.
- [41:22]
Derwin James
So not only that, who does the five play in the second round in.
- [41:27]
Ryan Leaf
A tournament like this? Who does play the four.
- [41:29]
Derwin James
The four, which is probably not actually number four. It's some conference champ that got raised.
- [41:34]
Ryan Leaf
So could be Clemson.
- [41:35]
Derwin James
I would argue. Yeah, I would argue that that five seed is. Probably has a. Especially if you didn't play in a conference championship game, has a nicer path than the one seed which gets a buy. But that 8, 9 winner is going to be somebody nasty.
- [41:48]
Ryan Leaf
It could be one of those teams that we talked about. It could be a Georgia, it could be a. An Ole Miss, could be in Alabama, a team that is a brutal beat, physical in nature and everything like that. So, yeah, first year of playing out, there's going to be a ton of discussion around what this looks like and where you go with it and everything like that. National signing day, we're talking with Andy Staples here. National signing day was yesterday. And does it. What does it mean now with the portal opening? What does it mean to. And is it different for certain teams? Like if you are at the very top of the heap or if you're somewhere at the bottom where you're going to have to develop and maybe know you're developing for, let's say Alabama in a couple of years.
- [42:29]
Derwin James
You know, you're treating it, if you're Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, the same way you always did, you go get the best high school players. You try to make that the foundation of your program. Especially the big guys like you want, you know, offensive defensive linemen for the most part are not going to come in ready to play. So you try to stockpile them as best you can. That's not going to be easy because of the transfer portal. Kids are smart, you know, they see how this works. And I think what. What ha. What has happened is those teams can't stockpile the way they used to. Like, Alabama's backups used to be better than probably everybody ranked below number five. And that's just not the case anymore. Those guys go, I can just play somewhere else. I can become a first rounder at Arkansas. I can become a first rounder at Ole Miss. So why am I. Why am I sitting here? And so it's made the market a lot more efficient. So it's really more where guys are going to start their careers. Whether they finish them. There is another story. And in a lot of ways it's more fairer to me because I'm so used to covering the coaching carousel. So I'm used to signing day happens and then, oh, we forgot we're firing the wide receivers coach. I'm sorry. You wanted to play for him. Oh, don't worry about that. But you're stuck here. Yeah, well, you're not stuck there anymore.
- [43:41]
Ryan Leaf
Yeah. You don't have to be hostage to some whims by adults that have no real interest in necessarily what you're doing. The coaching carousel you spoke of. What maybe jobs are on the line this weekend? What jobs are maybe opening that maybe people may not think are ones that could be open here soon?
- [44:07]
Derwin James
This is a weird year, Ryan, because normally there's a lot more jobs open. And I think a lot of the power conference schools have been afraid to fire their coaches because you got revenue sharing with the players coming next year. So you're going to have to devote millions of dollars to that. You don't want to pay these buys. Some of the buyouts have gotten so ridiculous that they're. They're almost prohibitive. Like Kentucky and Mark Stoops don't seem to be on the best of terms right now, but they would owe him $44 million within 60 days. Like, he ain't going anywhere if he doesn't want to go somewhere.
- [44:36]
Ryan Leaf
Right.
- [44:37]
Derwin James
So, like, the best jobs open right now are North Carolina, Purdue, UCF and West Virginia. And they're still looking for coaches. I think, you know, some of those, some of those schools are considering coaches who are coaching in championship games this weekend. So probably get a little movement on that after the weekend. But, you know, I think everybody's looking at Columbus right now. Yeah, obviously Ryan Day's in the playoff. He's not going anywhere. I don't think Ohio State is firing Ryan Day, but Ryan Day has a Michigan problem and he has to decide what to do going forward once this season ends. About that Michigan problem, I'm guessing that he just wants to try to fix it, but you got to be careful because he's veering very dangerously into John Cooper territory right now.
- [45:18]
Ryan Leaf
It's so strange. It's so strange how that, how that game transpired on Saturday. I mean, I Watched it? Nah, I covered. I called the Oregon Michigan game earlier in the year and yeah, and they played pretty good at times, but it didn't matter. Ohio State. I watched the Ohio State, Oregon game as well. And that's a completely different football team in terms of mindset and coaching.
- [45:40]
Derwin James
What was shocking to me was Ohio State tried to meet Michigan on its own terms. Like, why meet Michigan on Michigan's terms? Dictate the terms. Like, you have Jeremiah Smith, who is the best wide receiver in the country. He might be. Well, he's not yet, but in a few years, he will be the best wide receiver in the world. Like within probably four years, year two in the NFL, he will be the best wide receiver in the world. They target him twice. Yeah, like, do the things that you're good at. Don't try to beat Michigan in its own game.
- [46:13]
Ryan Leaf
It just. It's dumbfounding to me. I'd be remiss if having you on you and I talking about our friend Trevor Moad. Oh, yeah, you wrote or co wrote the book with him. It takes what it takes and you know how important Trevor was to me. But I think you would have a really unique voice in the understanding of what transpired over the last couple years with Denver and Russell Wilson because you were intrinsically taught this neutral thinking because you had to write about it. And so the understanding of that. And I've tried to make it cross that Russell may be the best of anybody who's ever done the neutral thinking aspect of things. What him and Trevor tried to Russell.
- [46:57]
Derwin James
So Trevor was Russell's mental coach.
- [46:59]
Ryan Leaf
Yes. Cognitive.
- [47:00]
Derwin James
But Russell. Russell kind of designed a lot of this and gave a name to it. And Trevor and I wrote it takes what it Takes. And then as Trevor was fighting cancer, we wrote Getting to Neutral, which we kind of wove in the pandemic. And because we saw a lot of people in the real world trying to have to wrestle with the stuff that Trevor had to deal with with athletes at a different level. And it was wild watching Russell in Denver because it was like if I think if Trevor were able to talk to him and able to. They were able to talk about thinking neutrally and how to deal with these situations. I think it would have gone better. But I do feel like when I hear Russ talk, when I see him playing in Pittsburgh, that he's getting back to that now.
- [47:45]
Ryan Leaf
Well, and he tried.
- [47:46]
Derwin James
It's fun to watch.
- [47:47]
Ryan Leaf
Yeah, he tried to compartmentalize. And I think a lot of times when you are in that neutral thinking because this is also the logic that I use with the way Trevor worked with me, you know, once I walked out of prison 10 years ago, and I would be nowhere I am today if it weren't for him and what he did for me. But, you know, Russell can come off like a simulation sometimes, and it's just because it's this. It's. It's this maintaining a certain thing and he's the best that that's done it. And I just thought that would. I. You know, I'm usually the one talking about it when I come on and talk about Russell. And you wrote the book with Trevor and you were perfectly situated to talk about.
- [48:23]
Derwin James
I am so glad you brought that up because it's. It's one of those things and I was going back through it takes what it takes and getting to neutral the other day because I think about Trevor a lot and that stuff has helped me so much in my own life. Just raising kids, you know, doing. Doing the things you have to do to. To live life. And for those who don't know, neutral thinking is a basically, you know, the power of positive thinking. Very popular book, but we're a motivational speaker.
- [48:52]
Ryan Leaf
It's not positive. We just don't allow negative thoughts ever to enter our mind. Right.
- [48:57]
Derwin James
It's basically you. You don't allow negative thoughts. You don't verbalize negative thoughts. You just say, hey, here's what I know. Here's what I can do.
- [49:05]
Ryan Leaf
This is what I can.
- [49:05]
Derwin James
And you'd be. Yeah, you'd be shocked how much easier it makes life if that's how you're thinking.
- [49:12]
Ryan Leaf
I don't. I mean, it's. It changed my life, bro. I mean, you've got to know me. You know, you met me eight years ago, nine years ago, we covered the Clemson, Alabama game together down in. In Santa Clara. I just. I don't. I don't let anything negative creep into my mind. And it's hard, you know, especially with. With the way. With the way the world works and they want to talk to you about your life, you know, and so. And for Russell to do that, and I think that that got lost a little bit in Denver and I think we're just giving it. Given some context, you know, everybody in Pittsburgh has seen and what it's come from, but I just thought I would. Would put that in.
- [49:49]
Derwin James
It's fun to watch like that. Yeah, that whole situation's been fascinating. The Justin Fields to Russ and. Oh, look at that.
- [49:57]
Ryan Leaf
So Russ, Russ. Beautiful.
- [49:58]
Derwin James
That's like a Jack Lambert Russell Wilson jersey.
- [50:00]
Ryan Leaf
So Russ sent me away in home jersey this year, and I couldn't. I couldn't break him out until he got healthy. And I was just like. Because I think I might have been the only one that actually said that this is a Super bowl team with a competent quarterback at play. So we'll see. We'll see.
- [50:15]
Derwin James
Let's get George Pickens under control first.
- [50:17]
Ryan Leaf
But. Well, you know, George Pickens is the talent of Antonio Brown in the eyes of Mike Tomlin. And I've talked to him before, and it's like, you know, the talent. And when it becomes an issue where it got to with Antonio Brown and I had to ship him out, that's. That's when it. Until that time, the talent is so overwhelming for everybody. That's. That's why they're putting up with it.
- [50:35]
Derwin James
And Mike Tomlin's the one guy you trust to get that out of.
- [50:38]
Ryan Leaf
And I trust it. And I trust it and. Because I know that he knows when it's over, he'll pull the plug. And he has, and that's why he's still the coach and why everybody trusts him and stuff like that. So I could talk to you all day, man. I miss you, brother. It's good to see you. Thanks for hopping on with us today. Thank you, Ryan.
