Chase Daniel On The Dan Patrick Show Full Interview | 12/22/23

[Applause] Right uh let’s bring in Chase Daniel former NFL quarterback and host of The Chase Daniel show on YouTube channel you always learn something he always makes us smarter when we talk to him uh thanks for joining us chase explain to me how rookie receivers are having this kind of

Impact like puka nakua you know Cooper cup like those guys are out of nowhere then you had obj when he came in you have Jamar Chase and Justin Jefferson I like is this going to be normal or is this an aberration in your mind this is definitely not normal

Especially with puka and you look at puka and you look at Cooper and what’s the one person holding them together Matthew Stafford and Matthew Stafford is absolutely balling right like they brought in pukah and when cup was hurt at the beginning of the year they said

Hey just go be Cooper cup like doesn’t seem that hard to do when you’re in that offense but it’s extremely hard the dude’s got more 150 yard scrimmage games than anyone ever in the National Football Le League including you know Randy Moss Jamar Chase all these guys

And it’s pretty impressive for me to to like what puka has been able to do because he doesn’t look very fast he’s a strong son of a buck he’s 220 pounds he they give him like jet sweeps the guy like last night hit him and just fell

Off of him and on the game-winning like Jet Sweep like it’s he’s made different and so you just really never know what you’re getting when you’re drafting a rookie receiver like like look at Quinton Johnson in the Chargers like hasn’t really lived up to the hype of

The first round pick and you know they got puka in the fifth round and quite honestly he’s he’s really close in my opinion to to winning Rookie of the Year between it’s between him and CJ strad right it’s probably a Quarterback Award probably G to go to CJ St but it needs

To be talked about on what puka is doing and then you look at just Matthew Stafford like when you have a guy like that and you’re able to go in and you’re able to have puka learn under Matthew which Matthew’s been you know on on like

Everywhere like my my year 15 years in the league and probably playing some of his best ball so you put that and you put kyen Williams with the Rams offense like the the coaching job that that um you know sha mcvey’s done this year has been pretty impressive too but I know

That they just sort of became dangerous now because they’re 8 and seven uh you know if they get into the playoffs so let’s look at the Rams you know bigger picture here are they are they going to make the playoffs and if they do how dangerous can they be yeah I mean that’s

A great question I tweeted that last night I said two teams that aren’t in the playoffs right now this is before the game that are going to be really dangerous is the bills which they don’t even control their own destiny which is wild to me like if the Rams win out I

Think they’re going to get in but they’re probably the only team that can contend with the 49ers in my opinion um in the playoffs like they’re just built that way you love Shawn McBay but yeah it’s it’s probably one of Shawn mcb’s most impressive coaching jobs and everyone’s like well he’s eight and

Seven yeah but you remember that whole narrative at the beginning of the year how young they were receiver and Matthew and no draft came out no draft picks and Matthew’s wife came out and was like a he has a hard time like understanding the young guys well it’s working right

Now like they came off by they’re five and one like that seems so long ago to me and it’s just impressive like like you know obviously everyone knows the stats but with kyen Williams they’re averaging 14.7 points per game without kir Williams with kyen Williams 28 points a

Game so like that fact that they’re running the ball I mean I saw a stat last night Dan that they pre- snapped motioned or shift on 90% of the snaps in the uh game last night which would be the third highest rate in in NFL history 90% your motion

Your shifting your that’s sort of how we Blitz the defense and the fact that all these young guys have sort of worked up to this point and Shan McBay trusted them like these guys got to be smart to run that offense that’s with puka too like there’s so many little option

Routes there’s so many different routes that he has three to four options to do and they’re all on the same page they’re clicking right now their defense is playing well but honestly like that offense is is the one that is has them roll it okay concerns you about the 49ers

Nothing like if I’m being honest like I break him down every week because I’m a see that that that makes me nervous that that there’s no flaws like so they’re going to the Super Bowl if I said you could have the ners of the field in the NFC and I was and I

Was a big ners fan even when they were going through that three- game losing strength because I like it it to the Rams when they went with Matthew Stafford when they had that little midseason collapse and then all of a sudden it made made him stronger and

They ended up pushing through and going through um look I mean on offense they just they don’t really have like they don’t have a weakness man like I I’ve it’s really hard like the only team and I say this about a few teams the only team that can beat the 49ers are the

49ers like penalties um illegal formation penalties like stuff like that like their defense was struggling a little bit they finally it seems like they’ve sort of shrunk their menu on defense and so they’re playing a lot faster they’re not doing a whole bunch of this other coverages and stuff like

They were doing before Dallas when Dallas came in and and whooped like all that stuff is sort of out the window and they’re just they’re just tackling well man they’re they’re uh they’re really impressive it’s it’s hard to find a weakness for those guys but I’m wondering is the Team

MVP the same as the league MVP if I said who is the MVP of the ners yeah of the ners at CMC it’s not even close but as you know Dan it’s a Quarterback Award for the NFL so Brock pie is far and away like numbers-wise he’s won in every single category but

Like CMC 20 plus touchdowns like does CMC in like deserve the credit yeah but like when was the last running back to win the MVP was it leanian Tomlinson or who was it Adrian Peterson AP yeah so it’s just like it’s built this League’s built on quarterback play and the fact

That mystery relevant is playing like an MVP like that’s that’s a story in it of its own self so I love Brock I think Brock’s doing really good right now but it feels like with Brock pie if he was a first round draft pick no one would have

A problem with him being an MVP it was he’s Mr Irrelevant it feels like this is kind of a novel it’s a cute little story he wins because he’s surrounded by Talent uh which isn’t fair to him and no and then now you have Tua saying hey I’m keeping receipts because people don’t

Think that I can I’m not a good quarterback without Tyreek Hill and moer and jayen wo yeah it’s wild I mean like when you Ro when you like break down Brock though some some people and the narrative sometimes with people that actually don’t know what they’re talking

About and just want to throw stuff out oh this guy’s a dink and dunk quarterback okay Dan I get so angry about that because okay they are 32nd in the NFL in passing attempts they are second in passing yardage the dude all he does is throw the ball down the

Field and yeah okay you’re to get a couple of these screens to Debo or CMC that go for 60 and it’ll pader stat sure you still got to make the right decision that’s a very intricate offense for for a quarterback to run and he’s constantly like all these layered throws like over

Linebackers between safeties and linebackers they’re difficult to do all these throws are 15 to 20 yards down the field I saw a back shoulder throw that he that he had to Debo uh last week against Arizona to the field opposite hash perfect throw 35 yards on a DOT

People are like well he doesn’t have the arm strring what do you want what else do you want him to do that’s that’s to me is like drives me crazy because the Dude is having an absolutely unbelievable season and deserves all the credit in the world for it he’s chased

Daniel former NFL quarterback and uh you can watch him on the Chase Daniel show on YouTube channel which I did and you were talking about Dak Prescott and his performance against the Buffalo Bills let me make this a little bit broader with the Dallas Cowboys who have Miami

Coming up this weekend were you more concerned with that defense and what it was unable to do against Buffalo or the offense that was unable to do anything against that defense both both and I’ll give you a reason why is because I think that people have found because if you go

Back to week two or three when Dallas played Arizona Arizona ran the piss out of the ball like 180 yards rushing beat them there and then they go and do the same thing Buffalo does and that’s really just Joe Brady on the offensive coordinator the new offensive coordinator for the bills like

Completely switching up what the bills want to be on offense like they are power football now they’re making Josh Allen not make the big mistake you can still play Hero Ball but those those cowboys they haven’t they haven’t stopped the run and that’s sort of their biggest problem for me on the defensive

Side of the ball but when you go to the offensive side of the ball I’ve tried for three weeks now to understand and to break down why the Cowboys are averaging 40 points at home and there’re 7 and0 and why they’re averaging 25 points a

Game 24 points a game on the road and are three and four and I can’t for the life of me I can’t understand it it looks like their offense is completely different and everyone wants to talk all the noise and there’s less Mo okay none

No you still have to go out and execute so I’m a little bit worried about that they go on the road again this week in Miami it’s a must win for Dallas like if Dallas wants any chance at potentially potentially getting a onc which I don’t think they can because I think San

Francisco’s going to win out like they gota they gotta have this game but it’s a huge game for Miami too I just don’t know if Miami’s beat anyone that I trust obviously that loss a couple weeks ago to Tennessee was really telling um and it’s GNA be it’s going to be an

Interesting game like I just I want to see Dak and the boys go out and hang 40 on on Vic fio and and the Dolphins which I don’t I don’t know if they’re going to end up doing but it’s almost like a getright game even though you’re playing

A 10 and4 team if that makes sense you’ll know this language I was told by a former quarterback and I was saying you know what’s Buffalo doing with Dallas in real time and he was talking about two high safeties and and and so Dak wasn’t getting any I mean he was

Completing passes decent percentage but no yards downfield so can you translate that to me and the audience yeah that’s sha MC der’s favorite thing to do and he’s done it his his entire career is he plays two high safeties and they play this quarters look so you could possibly

Get seven to eight guys in the Box uh with those quarters safeties who are playing at like eight to 10 yards which is wild like if you look at Dallas they they had a play action shot to Cooks second play of the game versus quarter safeties he missed it like the game

Might be a lot different okay so they’re not only are they getting you know seven eight into coverage when passing Downs are happening but they’re getting eight in the box when running Downs are happening so it’s the best of both worlds Dallas had I didn’t love Dallas’s

Plan because they were like big block them up shots two man routes versus two high safeties just not very good and they’re Manning these guys up underneath um it’s it’s an impressive job I mean you look at Buffalo in every category they’re top six in the NFL and defense

No one talks about it especially with all the injuries they had up front AJ esposa was out michah Hyde was out all these guys have been out and for for them to sort of flip the switch on who they are as a team in Buffalo when you

Go from a switch at dorsy to Brady at offensive coordinator they they were throwing the ball a lot now they’re running the ball like a ton they’re keep it they’re playing keep away they’re playing good defense their defense didn’t play in as many snaps because they playing keepo on offense it’s

Really complimentary football right now in Buffalo feels like people are maybe easing off the Lions bandwagon why is that yeah I mean are you still on the line bandwagon okay not me yeah I mean I I love what go was able to do especially last game against

Denver five touchdown passes and it just it if you play them at night like they’re a hard out they’re four five and0 it’s like the Lions after dark is what Jared C said I thought that was so funny um and it’s just an interesting thing it’s really their defense that’s

Been letting them down offensively they’ve been scoring a lot of of points really the whole year and if you look at the first really eight games of the year on defense they were really good under Aaron Glenn and lately they’ve been trying to play a little bit more man

Coverage and they’ve been getting exposed and so not only that but then teams are running the ball a lot more against the Detroit Lions limiting the possessions that Jared gof has on offense and those four game stretch there was a four game stretch where I think they went two and two golf had

Nine turnovers right so no turnovers last game the previous four he had nine so just a lot less possessions on offense so I think if they can handle the football uh sh up that run defense and I think they’re gonna I mean look they’re going for an NFC North title for

The first time in 30 years like how are you off the bandwagon it’s the Detroit Lions they haven’t been good in forever I’m excited about it okay before I let you go let’s say I go to a holiday party and I want to sound like I know what quarterbacks know like something that

Some quarterback jargon that I could be talking about where people go damn all right he’s not just a talking hairo like so when you’re talking to you know Drew Brees like can you give me something where I could just be bringing this up in a casual way and then you know guys

In the neighborhood are going to go all right all right he knows what he’s talking about well first of all I love the sweater so you wear that sweater you’re going to look like you know what you’re talking about with quarterbacking okay so that’s the first and foremost

But I think in in uh in quarterback talk we talk uh like talk about cadences like hey going on one going two going three so like all these cadences I think it’s funny and a lot of teams are using it if you listen it’s like okay on first sound

It’s Sunday it’s used days of the week on Monday you go on one so it’s ready blue 80 BL do Tuesday it’s two Wednesday it’s three so say yeah did you see Jared gofman he’s going on Tuesday out there you’re wearing that sweater man you’re Mak you’re good you’re good yeah okay so

So the if it’s on Sunday it’s like that it’s just like the first sound so said Hut and Monday is ready blue 80 blue said Hut it’s like on one and then Tuesday’s two Wednesday’s three so give me give me a wed give me a Wednesday ready blue 80 BL it hot ready

Blue 0 BL it hot ready blue 80 BL it hot I not snap pton Manning was the best at that man I thought Dan Marino was he’s hey hey that that’s that’s a blast from the past I didn’t I didn’t I don’t know if they were miked up when Dan Marino

Was you didn’t need to be you could you could hear him because he would be like he’d just go up there and goes yes like I don’t even know what that’s on if you’re a lineman or something and you’re like okay is it on three is it two is but he would

Go and that’s what dak’s doing now here you go I’ve never heard of that in my life but it’s like go go most viral thing yeah good St all these all these quarterbacks are different man all right yeah crazy uh Chase Daniel you can see his show on YouTube channel the Chase
