1
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 1: Welcome into the NFL Report on location. We are here

2
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas our Super Bowl fifty eight.

3
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 2: James Palmer, Steve Whitch with you.

4
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: We are going to have defensive coordinator Steve Spagnolo, the

5
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:22,159
Speaker 1: mastermind as I call him, Steve in the postseason, just

6
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,959
Speaker 1: brilliant when we're playing these extra games year after year. Also,

7
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 1: Justin Reid, a big part of why this defense has

8
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: been so good in Kansas City. We had both of

9
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 1: them as guests because Steve, we spent Wednesday at media

10
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: day with the Kansas City Chiefs during this preparation, Yeah, and.

11
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 3: Look to kind of tell you how the sausage is made.

12
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 4: The reason why we did that is the Chiefs were

13
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 4: early in the morning, the forty nine Ers were later

14
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 4: in the afternoon, so frankly didn't fit our schedule to

15
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 4: so it's a shame. So we didn't get a chance

16
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 4: to talk too many of the forty nine ers. So

17
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 4: let's talk about the forty nine ers JP, because like

18
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 4: us today, the conversation this week has been about the Chiefs.

19
00:00:58,320 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 3: Here in Las Vegas.

20
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 4: It has been about the homes, it has been about Kelsey,

21
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 4: it has been about Andy Reid repeating right, repeating or

22
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 4: is he going to retire. The only thing we're hearing

23
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 4: from about the forty nine ers is that they're not

24
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 4: real pleased about their practice facility at UNLV.

25
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe we ought to have some better reporters here

26
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas and dig a little deeper on these niners.

27
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 2: I'm just kidding.

28
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 5: No.

29
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 4: But the thing that the one conversation piece has been

30
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 4: brock Purty right. And what's been interesting in watching Brock

31
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 4: Party handle the media attention for the first time in

32
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 4: his career is he sounds and behaves just like Patrick Mahomes,

33
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 4: who's here for his fourth time.

34
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 2: Nothing is phasing Brock Party.

35
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: I think we have forgotten because everybody talks about mister irrelevant.

36
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 2: And by the way, opening night he said, I'm fine

37
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 2: with that nickname.

38
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 3: No, he's the real VA.

39
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 2: He's like, you can keep me on the show on

40
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 2: the NFL Report.

41
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: But what I think we overlook is is there's so

42
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: much talked about is he a game manager? Where was

43
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: he taken in the draft. This is his second NFL

44
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: season and in two years he went to the NFC

45
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: Championship Game and the Super Bowl. I think that isn't

46
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: talked about enough. It's debating his play more so.

47
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 2: But you're right.

48
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: I was with you know, his group, his scrum, if

49
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: you call it, at its riser on opening nights. He

50
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: handled every question and everything like he has been here

51
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: so many times before. I think the mental side of

52
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: brock Perdy is probably not getting the get their flowers,

53
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: as an over used term, Steve, but not getting the

54
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: attention it deserves.

55
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 2: The way he handles things mentally off the field.

56
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 4: And jaypeople we talk about off the field, you know,

57
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 4: and he says, you know, he's very a religious guy.

58
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 4: You know, he lives for a higher purpose. But on

59
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 4: the field, think about when he made his debut. It

60
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 4: was in the middle of a Miami Dolphins game and

61
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 4: he came in and the Niners actually expanded their playbook.

62
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 4: You know, We've heard stories coming out of the postseason

63
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 4: where Jed York, the chairman of the Niners, said, when

64
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 4: Kyle Shanahan came to him and said, our third string quarterback.

65
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 2: Might be our best guy.

66
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 4: And we're seeing this evolution, but like you said, it's

67
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 4: not talked about enough. We'll see Sunday now if he

68
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 4: can handle all the life. It's the long halftime shows.

69
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 4: Things like that that's a disruptive thing that most of

70
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 4: his teammates have been through before. But he's been great

71
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 4: in the second half of games. That's composure, that's poise,

72
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 4: where we talk a lot about that with Ben Roethlisberger,

73
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 4: some of the great quarterbacks, how hey they could getting

74
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 4: things settled in the first half and they come out

75
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 4: and the CounterPunch in the second. So we'll see if

76
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 4: block Perty does that. But to this point, the way

77
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 4: he has played, in the way he has hammed himself,

78
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 4: I should say not the way hes played hasn't played yet,

79
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 4: but the way he's handled himself has really been fantastic.

80
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 4: Now for the way he has played, that has got

81
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 4: the attention of some guys on the Kansas City Chiefs,

82
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 4: including Spagnolo and Justin Reid, who we're gonna hear from.

83
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 4: But about that JP, they were talking about the checkdown

84
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 4: options and how he has really mastered that into making

85
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 4: a weapon to making this offense work.

86
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: This league is so much deeve about counters and how

87
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: do you counter punch what another team brings to you.

88
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: And we know that the Chiefs are one of the

89
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: highest blitzing teams in the NFL, then they don't just

90
00:03:58,280 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: blitz to blitz.

91
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 2: That's not way Spags doesn't.

92
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: Andy Reid says his best trade is the feel for

93
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: those times when you're supposed to blitz, but they blitz

94
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: at the fifth highest rate in the NFL this past season.

95
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: But the counter that we're talking about is not just

96
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: having a back that is the smartest, Christian McCaffrey that

97
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: would understand to pick up so many of these blitzer

98
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: I remember talking to alec Ingold before the wild card

99
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: game with the Miami Dolphins going against Bags. He said,

100
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: there's probably about a thousand different blitz pickups I have

101
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: to figure out and understand. Christian can probably handle all

102
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: of that, but it's your right. It's the checkdown aspect

103
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 1: that could be the counter to that pressure. I know

104
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are concerned about it. It's not just McCaffrey

105
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: picking it up. It's Purty picking it up and dumping

106
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: it to McCaffrey at times to where maybe he doesn't

107
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 1: pick up a Justin Reid coming or a Trent McDuffie

108
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: coming from the outside. You go where the pressure came

109
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: from with a quick release and maybe you counter that pressure.

110
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: And then sometimes defenders are behind you, which is obviously

111
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: where Christian McCaffrey would let them to be.

112
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 4: You know what, And one thing we see in Rock

113
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 4: Party if you watch a lot of Niners games, if

114
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 4: you watch the tape, he takes a lot lot of

115
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 4: hits because of that right.

116
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 2: In the Niner And I'm sorry because he let it

117
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 2: get to hit. He lets it out there. Correct.

118
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 3: So let's say Christian McCaffrey sets up.

119
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 4: There's a whole technique called rush to cover, where the

120
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 4: defender will rush to cover the running back. But you're

121
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 4: also taught if you can get to the quarterback, get him.

122
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 3: And you see Purdy hang on to the.

123
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 4: Ball sometimes just long enough to get the defender to

124
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 4: commit to come off of the checkdown receiver, which typically

125
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 4: is the running back, and he dumps it out and

126
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 4: he takes a hit. Go back to that Giants game.

127
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 4: Purdy was getting racked up doing that over and over again.

128
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 4: And that's one thing we heard justin Ree's gonna tell

129
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 4: us a little bit later that they have to guard against.

130
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 4: The Other thing that very much has the Chiefs attention

131
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 4: is the running ability of Rock Purty, which we really

132
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 4: have not seen until these playoffs, especially the NFC Championship

133
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 4: game that has caused an alert siren to go off

134
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 4: in the preparation for the Kansas City Chiefs.

135
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: It's an added element that they probably weren't thinking they

136
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: were going to have to put in their game plan

137
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: after going against Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson in the

138
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: two games.

139
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 2: This going okay, there's some things that we don't really

140
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 2: have to plan for.

141
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 1: Well, I'm not saying brock Perty is a runner like

142
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: either one of those guys, but it has been an

143
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: added element when things break down, And it almost seems

144
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: like there have been times I don't know if he's

145
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: told this, Steve, but it looked like sometimes in that

146
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: second half against the Detroit Lions, read one, isn't there?

147
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 2: Read two? Isn't there?

148
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: Go to exactly, you're right, and if the middle of

149
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: the field is open, take it. And I think he

150
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: is a better athlete than a lot of people really believe.

151
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 2: And it's really this is on part of the entire conversation.

152
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: We have another time where he's getting underestimated, and it's

153
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: hilarious because I had a conversation over text with Patrick Mahomes'

154
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: speed coach, his personal.

155
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 2: Trainer coach, Look at the Mahomes one.

156
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: He's the one that said that told me he is

157
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: a much better athlete than people think. Don't think he's

158
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: underrated as an athlete. He is an athlete.

159
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 2: That's coming from the guy that's working with the other

160
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 2: quarterback all the time.

161
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 3: Well, let's get to the other quarterback, Patrick Mahomes.

162
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 4: Because on that note, Mahomes talked about that today. He

163
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 4: was asked the question when I say today meeting Wednesday,

164
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 4: he was asked a question about his gait, like the

165
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 4: way he runs and he doesn't look like he's moving fast.

166
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 4: It's an awkward style of run. And Mahomes said, I've

167
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 4: changed a little bit the way I run. But when

168
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 4: people see me, they underestimate my speed. They think I'm slower,

169
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 4: they think I'm chopping it up to break down. Next thing,

170
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 4: you know, I am by them. That is something the

171
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 4: Niners cannot underestimate because we see.

172
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 3: It over and over again.

173
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 2: JP.

174
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:38,679
Speaker 3: Maybe it's the running stole.

175
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 4: I don't know, but he often gets downfield, breaks tackles

176
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 4: and does things that you are not expecting out of fifteen.

177
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: It is probably because he watches the NFL report, because

178
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: he at opening night said if I was a basketball player,

179
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: I would be Steph Curry when we had Dante Hall,

180
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: the Chiefs Great, the human joystick, as he likes to

181
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: be referred to, one of the most dynamic players we've

182
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: ever seen on a football field in terms of making

183
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: people miss On this show before the AFC Championship game,

184
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: he said, Patrick Mahomes is Steph Curry. It's the way

185
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: he utilizes space, the way he creates space. He's not

186
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: the fastest, quickest guy like Alan Iverson, Paul said, but

187
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: he finds ways to get by you. It's actually very

188
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: accurate now when you think about it, because that's the.

189
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 2: Way the Mahomes That's the way Mahomes works.

190
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: And his numbers in the offseason as he works are

191
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: faster now, I'm told than when.

192
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 2: He entered the league. He is getting faster each and

193
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 2: every year.

194
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: Boy, it's not like he's blowing anybody off the off

195
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 1: the rail.

196
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 2: He's not Lamar, but he is faster than he was

197
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 2: at the beginning of his career. That's interest.

198
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 4: Wouldn't that be awesome coming into this game that the

199
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 4: one thing we weren't expecting is I have their scheduled

200
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 4: runs for both quarterbacks, Hey and do the RPO, pull

201
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 4: it and just take it down and run. All right, JAP,

202
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 4: We've got a lot more coming up on the NFL Report,

203
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 4: and after the break, Steve Spagnolo, oh yeah, and he's

204
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 4: got some great stuff to say about the IQ of

205
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 4: this Chiefs defense.

206
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 3: Will be right back on the NFL Report.

207
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 6: It's time for the lead block, presented by Team Mobile

208
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 6: for Business, A sport as fast as football deserves America's

209
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 6: fastest five G network, businesses go further with T Mobile

210
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 6: for Business.

211
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 3: All right, we're back at the NFL Report.

212
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 4: JP, And as you mentioned earlier, we went to the

213
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 4: Chiefs media availability midweek leading up to the Super Bowl,

214
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 4: and the star of the postseason hasn't been a player, No,

215
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 4: it has been Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnolo and Spags

216
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 4: we trust the T shirts say as much. And we

217
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 4: caught up with him for a few minutes here JP.

218
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 4: Some of the things you took from that to kind

219
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 4: of precede this well.

220
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: I love the way he talked about the IQ of

221
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: his players and how deep this group is in terms

222
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: of how cerebral they are. And you'll listen to him

223
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: talk about that, and an example of that I was

224
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: told is even on Monday of this Super Bowl week

225
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: before they headed out to Opening Night, They're able to

226
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: make these little adjustments.

227
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 2: I was told by linebacker coach Brendan Daily where we.

228
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: Just changed a couple of fronts on some coverages that

229
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: we wanted, mixed them up a little bit, and everybody

230
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,599
Speaker 1: in the room got it in about three seconds and

231
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: the meeting was over. That's how quickly these guys are

232
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: able to pick things up. And that just makes Bags

233
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: probably just beat himself even more. Right, Steve, as creative

234
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: as he is, when he has the ability that that's

235
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,959
Speaker 1: not held back by his players at all, almost encouraged,

236
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: you have the ability to make adjustments that quickly in

237
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: some of your meetings.

238
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 3: All right, so let's listen to Spags.

239
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: Here with defensive coordinator. I'm going to say mastermind, Steve Spage.

240
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: I'm going to say it because you are on a roll,

241
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: Spags in the postseason. I'm just curious to start this

242
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 1: off with postseason game planning for you.

243
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 2: We see you shine when these games are the brightest.

244
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: What is those prep weeks like for you in these

245
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: postseason games?

246
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 2: Are they different? In your mind?

247
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: You put more time in because you are brilliant in

248
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: the postseason.

249
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 7: Well, I appreciate all of that, but the brilliance is

250
00:10:58,360 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 7: the guys on the field. I mean, we all know,

251
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 7: and I've said this one hundred times, this is the

252
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 7: highest number of high cerebrule the defensive players that I

253
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 7: work and I've worked with a lot of smart defensive

254
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:11,479
Speaker 7: players Tyron, Matthew.

255
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 8: Antonio Pierce who's here coaching now.

256
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 7: But collectively as a group, I think because we have

257
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 7: those guys and the assistance that can feed it is.

258
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 8: The reason why we'll do what we do.

259
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 7: I mean, we pretty much stick to the routine in

260
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 7: these games. One thing that Andy's always talking about, you

261
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 7: get to the playoffs, don't go out of your routine,

262
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 7: don't try to be somebody you're not. And our players

263
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 7: have done that and we've been able to play pretty good. Now,

264
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 7: none of that matters unless you play good in the

265
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 7: next one. So hopefully we can do that again.

266
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:40,719
Speaker 2: Mack.

267
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 4: You talk about the high IQ as a group, is

268
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 4: that why things maybe came together sooner in the regular

269
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 4: season than we've seen the past couple of years.

270
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 7: I think that's a great point, and I think that

271
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 7: had a lot to do with that and the fact

272
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 7: that you remember last year, we had a lot of

273
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 7: young guys and Justin Reid was new to it.

274
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 8: So we had not only did we have young.

275
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 7: Guys early in the NFL, but we had guys were

276
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 7: new to our system, and so a whole year of that,

277
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 7: and the fact that they're real cerebral and they embrace it.

278
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 8: They love it.

279
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 7: I mean, these guys love a challenge, they love being

280
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 7: around each other, and they love being around football, and

281
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 7: that helps.

282
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: I don't want you to give anything away a game

283
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 1: plan wise, but I talked to Charles and men Who

284
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: the other day and Charles said, I was really excited

285
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: to go against Trent.

286
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 2: That's what he wanted to do and be on that side.

287
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 2: Obviously he can't. And then you look at how good

288
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 2: Chris is. I'm just like fascinated by the idea.

289
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 1: Would you want to put strength on strength or is

290
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: it better to put Chris in another spot to try

291
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: to gain any advantage.

292
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 2: I feel like you have to feel that out sometimes.

293
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 7: I mean that'll be in the midst of the game adjustment.

294
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 7: One thing about Chris is what's great about him is

295
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 7: he's willing to go anywhere.

296
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 8: And we know I mean, we.

297
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 7: Got to figure that the forty nine ers are going

298
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 7: to spay spend some attention on Chris, so we'll be

299
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 7: aware of that. And I don't think Chris has any

300
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 7: I mean he'll go anywhere. He'll get on a guy

301
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 7: or to get on a you've seen it. Yeah, and

302
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 7: then we do that, and it's good that he's a

303
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 7: But that's why you go back to the high IQ.

304
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 7: It's not not only you know, Chris may put himself

305
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 7: somewhere else, but the other guys have to know the

306
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 7: other spot because they've been moved around.

307
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 8: So all that kind of works together.

308
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 2: Gas.

309
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 4: You talked about the young secondary. I mean a lot

310
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 4: of these guys are just in their second years. Well,

311
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 4: luxurious need the type of season he's having, the physicality

312
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 4: he plays with.

313
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 3: There may not be a cornerback he's played better than

314
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 3: him all season. What about him being the anchor of

315
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:23,319
Speaker 3: that group.

316
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm glad you brought him up. Lj's special to

317
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 7: me since the day he got here. By the way,

318
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 7: he just had a baby girl, which is awesome. Yeah

319
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 7: the other day, when was that? It was just two

320
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 7: days ago. My days are all running together yet, But

321
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 7: I don't think he gets enough recognition.

322
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 8: For what he does for us. So you go back

323
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 8: to this high cerebral high IQ. He's got one. And

324
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 8: because this year.

325
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 7: We were able to move him around, put him on

326
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 7: the best wide receiver, it makes everybody else's job that

327
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 7: much easier. But I can't I can't give enough credit

328
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 7: to LJ and what he's meant to what we've done

329
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 7: this year.

330
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 4: Real quick, you talk about you knowing him being able

331
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 4: to travel with the best. The Niners do so many

332
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 4: different things formationally, is it difficult to say, Okay, you're

333
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 4: gonna go on this guy. Because they do the motion,

334
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 4: They stack guys and they'll launches things like that.

335
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 7: This smart enough to get their best guys open by

336
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 7: movie and that's part of what Kyle does any anyway,

337
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 7: I mean they're the highest motion team in the NFL.

338
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 7: So I mean we'll try, we'll pick our spots in

339
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 7: certain calls where we want LJ to be on a

340
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 7: particular guy.

341
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 8: Now, whether that happens or not will depend on what

342
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 8: they do offense.

343
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: Justin Reid told me he could probably be physical enough

344
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: to play linebacker.

345
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 2: LJ.

346
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: He said, I could see him probably slide in there.

347
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: I wanted to have another versatile guy in Trent McDuffie

348
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: in that position in particular. You've been in this game

349
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: for a long time. How important has that slot spot come?

350
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: And if the player is more versatile playing out of

351
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: that spot because they have to almost play linebacker at times,

352
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: they have to play corner the nickel spot. How have

353
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: you seen that spot kind of evolve in this league?

354
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 2: Yeah?

355
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 7: Well, with all the three wide out formations that we

356
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 7: see of personnel groups, you got to have you gotta

357
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 7: have a skill guy in it to match that, and

358
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 7: Trent allows us to do that from a past coverage

359
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 7: wise and to your point, JP, that he can play

360
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 7: the run, he plays it aggressively.

361
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 8: Now, Trent being able to do that really.

362
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 7: Allowed us to move LJ around because for the prior

363
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 7: of two years, LJ had been to nickelon. You know

364
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 7: how physical he is. So having two guys like that

365
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 7: is huge. I can't say enough about either both of

366
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 7: those guys and.

367
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 8: What they've meant to us defensively.

368
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 4: Our great football talk. But now we've got to get

369
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 4: to the shirts. The T shirt spags please go.

370
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 3: I know, but we burned them home.

371
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 4: You talking about you didn't has a big delivery arrived yet,

372
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 4: and if so, are you gonna wear one at any point?

373
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 8: Would be no wearing on my part.

374
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 7: I'm hoping that they get rid of them or put

375
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 7: him in a luggage till we get back maybe, And

376
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 7: if everybody wants to wear them after the game, that's great,

377
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 7: but they may not want to know.

378
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 3: All joking aside, though, did it like touch a spot

379
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 3: that the guys are willing to do something like that?

380
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 9: Yeah?

381
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 7: Very touchy, very humbling. Listen, then that word trust works

382
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 7: both ways. If I got tremendous trust in them as people,

383
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 7: as players and who they are, and I love.

384
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 2: Them too, so will Meetball's be here on Sunday.

385
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 8: I just got worried.

386
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 7: I actually have a video from Maria her request obviously

387
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 7: from ninety five, right. I think he guilted her into

388
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 7: because she's got to lug him in her backpack again.

389
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 7: But she set me a video of them frying with

390
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 7: the with the sauce around it, so I'll I'll get

391
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 7: it to Christia soon like that.

392
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 4: And last one we have to ask Brian Baldinger.

393
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 3: Of course, you know he just loves you to death,

394
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 3: all right.

395
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 4: So what can you say about Baldi because he's big

396
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 4: on our show. He comes on every week about how

397
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 4: he breaks down the film. It really helps helps guys.

398
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 7: Well, I'll tell you what I saw it firsthand the

399
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 7: year that I took on when I was over at

400
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 7: NFL Films quite a bit. Nobody grinds tape like Bali does.

401
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 7: He's in there and he's and he's putting in the work.

402
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 7: He's not reading newspapers, so nobody reads newspapers now right,

403
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 7: He's not looking it up on the internet. He's grinding

404
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 7: football and so I got a great deal of respecially right.

405
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 3: Appreciate you man, guys, good luck, Thank you the best.

406
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 4: Jpe both those bags for a long time. That was

407
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 4: absolutely awesome. And I want people to understand when he

408
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 4: talks about this team, the High IQ, how it's been

409
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 4: the most cerebral team he's coached. Remember, this man was

410
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 4: the DC for the Giants defense when they had Ocumanjura,

411
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 4: Justin Tuck, Michael Strahan, Matthias Kiwanuka, Hall of Fame players,

412
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 4: High IQ players. And if you can't tell, we're also

413
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 4: recording the show in a parking lot. And if you

414
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,679
Speaker 4: needed a reminder, that was the horn letting us know

415
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 4: here in Las Vegas.

416
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 3: But JP Agan, you think about the smart people.

417
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 4: He mentioned Antonio Pierce to coach of the Raiders, Ty

418
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 4: Matthew is gonna be a Hall of Fame defensive back.

419
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 4: But Lajerio Snead again was a player he brought up

420
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 4: and we've been talking about him on the NFL.

421
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 2: Report all season.

422
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: So often you don't have an outside corner that shadows

423
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: number one. Wide receivers have a background like Lagerius Sneed

424
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: has where he's played safety in his life, and you

425
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 1: know before the NFL where he's had.

426
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 2: The ability to play inside. Last year.

427
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 1: He can go inside, he can go outside, he can

428
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: play physical in the run game.

429
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 2: A sneaky little nugget in there that I thought.

430
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: Spags drop was Yeah, he probably could play linebacker if

431
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: we needed it.

432
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 2: Very interesting, you said, Ronde Barber.

433
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: I was talking to a position coach on that side

434
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: of the ball who told me it's kind of like

435
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: Antoine Winfield senior, not junior, who was a big fan

436
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: of this show and a friend of this show, had

437
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: one of the best seasons anybody's had this last year

438
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: in the NFL. But his dad had the ability as

439
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: a safety one of the better run stoppers at that

440
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: safety position said he could have slid it and played linebacker.

441
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 2: LJ could maybe five side, didn't play linebacker.

442
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: You're going to have to be physical when you go agains, Steve,

443
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: Bo Samuel, and we're gonna get to that with Justin Reed,

444
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: a member of this secondary. The guy who created the

445
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 1: in Spags we Trust two shirts.

446
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 2: Is going to be joining the NFL Report. Next.

Speaker 6: the NFL Report. JP, and you talked earlier about the

458
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 6: position flex. The different players do a lot of things,

459
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 6: the blitzing.

460
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 4: Well safety Justin Reid is one of the most vital

461
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 4: straws that stirs the drink of the Chiefs defense.

462
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 3: Here's our conversation with Justin Reed.

463
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 2: All right, hey man, I.

464
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 4: Appreciate you joining us. Look this big game here against

465
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 4: to forty nine. You know all the things they like

466
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 4: to do, especially in the middle of the field, playing

467
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 4: the petition. You're doing as many things as you do.

468
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 4: How do you kind of safeguard? Is the emphisus more

469
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 4: on open field tackling or being disruptive with the receivers,

470
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 4: running backs or whatever?

471
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 5: Oh well, I mean it's both of those first and foremost.

472
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 5: Our corners are very physical, so we're gonna use that

473
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 5: as a weapon. The cornernine is life to getting a

474
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 5: lot of condensed formations, a lot of motions to try

475
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 5: and back cornerbacks off and getting hands.

476
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 2: Off the line of scrimmage.

477
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 5: So we're gonna have to find some creative ways to

478
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 5: still be physical and disrupt ross and not allow wide

479
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 5: receivers to.

480
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 9: Get for your releases.

481
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 5: And the second part of that is that Rock Party

482
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 5: does a great job checking the ball down when his

483
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 5: first looks aren't there. But his checkdown is usually Christian

484
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 5: McCaffrey who's the cat that you want to get the

485
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 5: ball to anyway, So we're gonna need to make plays

486
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 5: on those boundaries, on those edges and not allow them

487
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 5: to stiff on guys or spind on guys and get

488
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 5: first downs.

489
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,120
Speaker 2: All right. You mentioned Christian you guys were teammates at Stanford.

490
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: So how different of a player is he now than

491
00:20:58,640 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: when you saw him.

492
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 2: In practice college.

493
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 9: I mean, he has the same motor that he's always had.

494
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 5: I think that he's developed more in the passing game,

495
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 5: and you see him use more on vertical routes side

496
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 5: of the backfield that he wasn't used as much. He

497
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 5: still has that same angle route that kills everybody and

498
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 5: stiff Farmers got a little bit better.

499
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 9: And you see he's got a little more weight to

500
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 9: him too.

501
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 3: So you know, you talked about rock Party. You've got

502
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes though.

503
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 4: I mean, is there anything when you watch perty on

504
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 4: tape when you're like, that's kind of like Patrick?

505
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 3: I mean in anything?

506
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean he's surprisingly elusive. I mean you look

507
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 9: at that green band at Detroit game.

508
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:34,919
Speaker 5: He was able to get out of some plays that

509
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 5: would have been big time sacks for those defenses and

510
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 5: when he got out of the pocket.

511
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 9: He made some plays, one to.

512
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,719
Speaker 5: Us check on the sideline, which is a great toe

513
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 5: drag swag type catch for him. But that elusivity and

514
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 5: making plays with his legs is an underrated part of

515
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 5: this game or whatever.

516
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 4: So did that cause any alert for you, Like, Okay,

517
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 4: we hadn't seen that before.

518
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't think a lot of folks have

519
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 5: seen it. But he's in his utility beveled. He makes

520
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 5: us to it when he needs to, so will need

521
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 5: to be able to take care of that.

522
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 2: We know LJ is a physical corner We know Deebo's build.

523
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,679
Speaker 1: Is there anything about Lj's strength that we all don't know?

524
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: But you've seen in practice to where you know he's

525
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 1: going to hold his own at the line of scrimmage

526
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: when he wants to try to jam Debo.

527
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, well we had fortunately, we actually have some tape

528
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 5: of that. You know, the game last year and they

529
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 5: got to play each other a little bit. You get

530
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 5: to see the most physical wide receiver in the game

531
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 5: go against the most physical cornerback in the game. So

532
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 5: it's going to be a heavyweight bout on the edges

533
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 5: out there. It's going to be a lot of fun

534
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 5: for me and try and make some ways to make

535
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 5: it a physical game.

536
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 3: Okay, no, the.

537
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 4: Football Questions game day playlist? Does it change for the

538
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 4: Super Bowl?

539
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 2: Not at all?

540
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 5: What you got on it, you know, I really I

541
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 5: tune that to Willie Gay, Willie gabs, Ie Juice Man

542
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 5: him and Chris Jones, and I listen to whatever it's

543
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 5: playing on the speaker. But for myself, I like to

544
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 5: remain calmer. J Cole, Kendrick Lamar, and then I let

545
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 5: it loose when it gets ready to go to the field.

546
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 5: Any aust You're on the playlist, not currently, but it's

547
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 5: been a popular thing, so maybe he'll in there.

548
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 9: Okay.

549
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 2: So the last one is the routine. You've been through

550
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 2: this before.

551
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: Now when you wake up Sunday morning to when you

552
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 1: get on the bus, How does that go about?

553
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 5: Just make it as routine as possible. You don't try

554
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 5: and change much. I wake up at about six thirty every day,

555
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 5: so I'll still wake up at six thirty.

556
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 9: I eight the same breakfast. We're gonna watch one more game.

557
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 5: I usually like to watch their most recent game one

558
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 5: more time so that the personality of that team is

559
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 5: fresh in my mind, and then you just go out there,

560
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 5: go through your playlist and get ready to go.

561
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 9: Thanks buddy, Yes, sorry, say.

562
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: That's Justin Reid telling us Steve that you're gonna utilize

563
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 1: every single free moment you have leading up into the

564
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:40,919
Speaker 1: Super Bowl sneak in one.

565
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 2: More game that morning, just break a little more film.

566
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: Yeahn And you know what, it's kind of important because

567
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 1: this is a very versatile group, Steve, that they have

568
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: in the secondary.

569
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 2: We've talked about it at length on this show and

570
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 2: talked about it on this show.

571
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: But also it's a very versatile group of receivers that

572
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: are on the other side. How I actually guess how

573
00:23:58,119 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: much are you looking forward to this match?

574
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 4: This This is the chess match out of any other

575
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 4: position group, so offensive, defensive lines, whatever, the chess match

576
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 4: is going to be. How these chief secondary, which has

577
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 4: been fantastic and these are big long players on defense

578
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 4: go up against these niners receivers, most of whom who

579
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 4: are shorter in compact Ayuk, you know, Deebo, Samuel, guys

580
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 4: like that, Jawan Jennings.

581
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 2: A really big, big receiver.

582
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 4: And you know you heard Justin talk about some of

583
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 4: the Bunch formations that they like to do, and it's

584
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 4: going to how they've got to find ways to get

585
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 4: hands on those receivers. The Chiefs are not the first

586
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 4: team who've tried to come up with that formula.

587
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:35,679
Speaker 3: This is not easy.

588
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 4: Kyle Shanahan will scheme up so many things that look

589
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 4: like run blocking, right, they look like they're doing some things.

590
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 4: They'll slip a receiver out, they'll do a rub where

591
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 4: you can't get hands on there.

592
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 3: And the one thing.

593
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,239
Speaker 4: That's different about brock Perty again is he's shown the

594
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 4: ability to extend plays.

595
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 3: Yes, this is a timing offense, but if you disrupt.

596
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 4: Deebo Samuel, Perty's been able to move again to let

597
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 4: Samuel or Ayuk or whomever get open. So this is

598
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,959
Speaker 4: where the chess match is going to come. And we

599
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 4: talked about the screen game and McCaffrey. You heard Justin

600
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 4: Reid there say when he checks it down, he checks

601
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 4: it down to McCaffrey like that is his only checkdown option.

602
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 4: Not necessarily, Kittle is often a checkdown option. They keep

603
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 4: him in and max protect sometimes, especially when he on

604
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 4: the right side of that offensive line.

605
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 3: Little helping out. I think you might a little bit

606
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 3: in this game as well.

607
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 4: But that is a checkdown option they use. And let's

608
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 4: not forget about our guy, Kyle Ucheck. That is another

609
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 4: option we have.

610
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: He's not gotten talked about it all this week.

611
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 4: His wife has because the bomb jacksons she's making for everybody,

612
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 4: but Kyle us Check is somebody again that's got to

613
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:44,360
Speaker 4: be accounted for.

614
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 2: James.

615
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 4: You know, there's always somebody who were not expecting when

616
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 4: of these guys played a couple of years ago. Is

617
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 4: running back Daman Williams who shows up correct And that's

618
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 4: what's going to be very intriguing when we talk about

619
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 4: these matchups in the secondary.

620
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 1: And then when those versatile matchups come and you try

621
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 1: to get yourself an advantage either team. The number one

622
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: key from this Chiefs team is obviously run fits number two,

623
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 1: I'm told tackling, and the players that you mentioned are

624
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: not easy to tackle in space. The extra step you

625
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 1: have to take. That's kind of been emphasized with the Chiefs.

626
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 1: With Christian McCaffery. You have to get closer from the

627
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: jump cut, everything he does to make you miss. Can

628
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: the Chiefs tackle these players in space is the biggest emphasis.

629
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 2: We know they're physical, Can they do that?

630
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: That's the other part of this matchup between these two

631
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:35,120
Speaker 1: groups that I can't wait.

632
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 4: They've shown that they can't. I mean, look at what

633
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 4: they did to Lamar Jackson, Look what they did to

634
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 4: Raheem Most look at to some of the players they've

635
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 4: gotten here on the way. Those are space guys. These

636
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 4: are guys you run offenses similar to some degree, yep,

637
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 4: to what the Niners run. The thing is with Kyle Shanahan, like,

638
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 4: you're not going to step on the field for Kyle

639
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 4: Shanahan unless you can break an arm, tackle, unless you

640
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 4: can make somebody want to call their mama at some point.

641
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 4: That is an aspect of this game that Kyle Shanahan

642
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 4: coaches his players adapt. But again, the Chiefs have shown

643
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 4: that they can tackle in open space.

644
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: And the part that this is all played off with

645
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers is the run game. And that's

646
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: why I said the run fits are the number one

647
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: thing that they're concerned about. And it's interesting that the

648
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 1: Chiefs say when you watch the film now compared to

649
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: years past with Christian McCaffrey, he's always been dynamic in

650
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: the past game and we're talking about him being a

651
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,640
Speaker 1: checkdown in the routes that he can run. But when

652
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,679
Speaker 1: they look at this film of this year, they're like,

653
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 1: he's a better player in the run game than he

654
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: is in the past game in terms of being a

655
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 1: dynamic threat.

656
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 2: That's another major concern of.

657
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,919
Speaker 1: Them on the inside because they're light on the defensive

658
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 1: lines because of a couple of injuries.

659
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 4: Well, you know, you look at Christian mccaffre in the past,

660
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 4: he did not have Trent Williams pulling ahead of him,

661
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 4: springing to him for big block. So, JP, we are

662
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 4: here in Las Vegas, home of the Raiders, and one

663
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 4: of their biggest fans ever, is no longer with us.

664
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,120
Speaker 4: When this show launched in the fall, it literally JP

665
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,439
Speaker 4: was a passion project. There are six of us who

666
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 4: work on the show. Jeff Collett, our main producer, Clifton Dutton,

667
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 4: our researcher, Sam Tavares, who's our.

668
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 3: Sound audio video. Everything on was JP and I and

669
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 3: Larry Campbell.

670
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,880
Speaker 4: You would often hear James say roll the Tate Elsie,

671
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 4: or Steeves me saying roll the Tate Elsie.

672
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,479
Speaker 3: Well, this past weekend we lost Larry.

673
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 4: He's had some health issues and he passed away at

674
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 4: the age of forty nine, and you know, James, we

675
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 4: went through it with Larry and trying to build the show.

676
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 4: We were all trying to feel each other out how

677
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 4: to build the show. Elsee, we need it this week?

678
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 4: Can we try it that way? And in the moment,

679
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 4: when you're working on a show like this and you're

680
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 4: trying to create an audience and generate something and put

681
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 4: your heart and soul into it, you often overlook, you know,

682
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 4: some of the people and some of the things that

683
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 4: are doing it. And with ELC he was someone we

684
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 4: talked about it a lot else we got to have this,

685
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 4: we got to do this more. And he poured his

686
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 4: heart out into it. Literally, he poured his heart out

687
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 4: into it. It was heart failure that brought him to

688
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 4: his end at forty nine. And when I think about

689
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 4: how much he gave to this network he was here

690
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 4: for seventeen years and to this show, it really is

691
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 4: honest to say he poured his heart into it. And

692
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 4: I love the guy. Everyone in our newsroom did, our

693
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 4: control room guys. I mean, our building is really going

694
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 4: to miss him. And so JP, I just you know,

695
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 4: these are my thoughts on LC. It's been a very

696
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 4: tough week for us. But as you wrap up the season,

697
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 4: the regular football season and ELS's life, I think it's

698
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 4: just wonderful we have this opportunity to pay tribute to

699
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 4: this man.

700
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, said Steve, really really well said. I love

701
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: that you used kind of our show and it being

702
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: a passion project and so few people working on it

703
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,959
Speaker 1: as kind of the way that you started that because

704
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: when you launch something from scratch, there are so many

705
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: unknowns and there are so many problems that you try

706
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: to figure out on the fly, and the one trait

707
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: that you need when you're going through that with a

708
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: small group of people launching something, all you really care

709
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: about is positivity and a consistent positive and Elsie had

710
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: that like in space, because things would go wrong a lot,

711
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: and he never would get upset. I'd get upset, You

712
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: would get frustrated. We'd text each other, God, this is

713
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: not working. He was in your ear every time, all right,

714
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: let's do it again, we got it, let's go, and

715
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: and that part of him just in the ear every

716
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: single time, Chippy, you got else, like every single.

717
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 2: Time, no matter how bad it was going, he came

718
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 2: out of the show going that was really good.

719
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: Felks, hey man, that was gonna be great, really good,

720
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: and so that that mindset, to me, stood out so

721
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: much because he cared about the show, he cared about us,

722
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: and never brought up everything he was going for and

723
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: we knew a lot of time it was a struggle

724
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: to get into the office and work on this show,

725
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: and the show takes a lot of time because there's

726
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: so few people on it. But he always would ask

727
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: about how we were doing and how we're doing, and

728
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: never ever brought up how he was doing.

729
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 2: And so this show's going to miss him.

730
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: It's not going to be the same show without him,

731
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: and we're going to probably keep saying roll the tape else.

732
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 3: That'd be a great look.

733
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 4: Tears have been shed and now we're sitting here smiling

734
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 4: talking about this great guy, and like you said, the

735
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 4: show is going to be different. And so we got

736
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 4: to do a little housekeeping on that note. Post Superowl

737
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 4: on Monday, we will not be having a show, but

738
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 4: we will be back Tuesday, as the NFL will continue

739
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 4: to go on and we're gonna always do it in

740
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 4: the name of LC and to our great crew who

741
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 4: continues to rock the show.

742
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 3: JP, So all the best.

743
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 4: Everybody enjoyed the super Bowl and we will see you

744
00:31:53,840 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 4: on Tuesday here at the NFL Report
