If you will, all eyes on Patrick 18 00:01:12,828 --> 00:01:15,788 Speaker 1: Mahomes's ankle and its status in Kansas City. What's up? 19 00:01:15,788 --> 00:01:18,668 Speaker 1: Perhaps Sheet well, we're just getting started. It is Wednesday, 20 00:01:18,708 --> 00:01:21,068 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure of that. And this is the first 21 00:01:21,148 --> 00:01:23,108 Speaker 1: day of the game week that we're gonna be talking 22 00:01:23,108 --> 00:01:25,388 Speaker 1: about Patrick mahomes ankle. But may no doubt about it. 23 00:01:25,388 --> 00:01:27,788 Speaker 1: This is going to be the biggest story of the week. 24 00:01:27,788 --> 00:01:30,308 Speaker 1: And really the biggest question going into today is is 25 00:01:30,348 --> 00:01:32,948 Speaker 1: Mahomes going to practice? And I would say that is 26 00:01:33,188 --> 00:01:35,348 Speaker 1: as of right now an open question dealing with that 27 00:01:35,428 --> 00:01:38,948 Speaker 1: high ankle sprain, something that is expected to limit him 28 00:01:38,988 --> 00:01:41,228 Speaker 1: this week. He is going to play. He has made 29 00:01:41,228 --> 00:01:44,028 Speaker 1: that very clear. His coach, Andy Reid has made that 30 00:01:44,148 --> 00:01:46,468 Speaker 1: very clear, so I Mahomes said after the game. Reid 31 00:01:46,548 --> 00:01:49,828 Speaker 1: reiterated it to reporters earlier in the week. But he 32 00:01:49,948 --> 00:01:51,908 Speaker 1: may not be normal, he may not be himself, but 33 00:01:52,028 --> 00:01:55,028 Speaker 1: just how much he is limited certainly something to watch 34 00:01:55,028 --> 00:01:57,468 Speaker 1: for going forward. As you guys know, Patrick Mahomes on 35 00:01:57,548 --> 00:02:00,388 Speaker 1: the run, his usual athletic self is much different than 36 00:02:00,428 --> 00:02:03,108 Speaker 1: if he's stationary and in the pocket. Maybe a small 37 00:02:03,148 --> 00:02:05,388 Speaker 1: bit of good news though, and when Andy Reid was 38 00:02:05,428 --> 00:02:07,588 Speaker 1: talking about this ankle, he said the Mahomes had one 39 00:02:07,628 --> 00:02:11,708 Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen. In the opener, I believe this is 40 00:02:11,948 --> 00:02:14,508 Speaker 1: less bad than that, and in that one he didn't 41 00:02:14,508 --> 00:02:16,588 Speaker 1: miss anytime. So that is at least an indication that 42 00:02:16,668 --> 00:02:19,988 Speaker 1: it is a tweak as read insinuated early in the week. 43 00:02:20,228 --> 00:02:22,988 Speaker 1: But we will find out today whether Mahomes practices, and 44 00:02:23,068 --> 00:02:25,708 Speaker 1: that could set the tone for how injured he actually is. 45 00:02:26,188 --> 00:02:28,308 Speaker 1: Absolutely it kind of becomes the question of, like, how 46 00:02:28,388 --> 00:02:30,948 Speaker 1: much does he need to will he can he practice? 47 00:02:30,988 --> 00:02:32,988 Speaker 1: If he doesn't, what a Sunday look like a ton 48 00:02:33,028 --> 00:02:35,908 Speaker 1: of questions to ask all week long? We'll rely on 49 00:02:36,188 --> 00:02:38,228 Speaker 1: Ian for all the answers. Thank you very much. Re Upstreet, 50 00:02:38,228 --> 00:02:39,948 Speaker 1: We'll talk to you a little bit. So the developments 51 00:02:40,028 --> 00:02:43,708 Speaker 1: yesterday were the status update on Patrick Mahomes's ankles, but 52 00:02:43,948 --> 00:02:47,468 Speaker 1: now it's become the Chiefs are considered underdogs at home 53 00:02:47,988 --> 00:02:50,628 Speaker 1: against the Bengals in the AFC Championship Game. How do 54 00:02:50,708 --> 00:02:53,628 Speaker 1: we feel about that, Peter? Yeah, I kind of follow 55 00:02:53,708 --> 00:02:55,828 Speaker 1: the swings of the momentum of this of the Bengals 56 00:02:55,828 --> 00:02:58,068 Speaker 1: being that nobody believes in US, team that are like 57 00:02:58,148 --> 00:02:59,988 Speaker 1: no one wants us, the league doesn't want us, there's 58 00:02:59,988 --> 00:03:02,948 Speaker 1: coin tosses, there's neutral fields to then by Wednesday being like, 59 00:03:03,068 --> 00:03:05,188 Speaker 1: actually the Bengals are the favorite team and the Chiefs 60 00:03:05,188 --> 00:03:07,468 Speaker 1: are the ones who nobody believes in us, and we're 61 00:03:07,508 --> 00:03:10,308 Speaker 1: the ones who are underdogs and we're the scrappy up starts. Um, 62 00:03:10,588 --> 00:03:13,348 Speaker 1: first time in Patrick Mahomes's career he has ever been 63 00:03:13,388 --> 00:03:16,668 Speaker 1: an underdog in a playoff game. Second time in Patrick 64 00:03:16,868 --> 00:03:19,588 Speaker 1: Mahomes's career that he has ever been an underdog in 65 00:03:19,588 --> 00:03:21,788 Speaker 1: a home game. And it's all about the ankle. I 66 00:03:22,308 --> 00:03:25,868 Speaker 1: think Ian Rapperporters spot on, We're gonna dissect this ankle 67 00:03:26,308 --> 00:03:28,308 Speaker 1: just about as much as we possibly can without being 68 00:03:28,348 --> 00:03:32,108 Speaker 1: in the actual training room, because it is everything. Um, 69 00:03:32,268 --> 00:03:34,708 Speaker 1: if Mahomes can find a way to win this game 70 00:03:35,348 --> 00:03:37,828 Speaker 1: with the ankle being in the shape that it looked 71 00:03:37,828 --> 00:03:40,028 Speaker 1: like at the end of that game against that Cincinnati 72 00:03:40,108 --> 00:03:42,748 Speaker 1: front and against that Cincinnati defensive backfield and against that 73 00:03:42,908 --> 00:03:46,668 Speaker 1: Cincinnati defensive coordinator, well then that's the stuff that that 74 00:03:46,668 --> 00:03:49,228 Speaker 1: that that heroes are written about. And I think that 75 00:03:49,628 --> 00:03:52,148 Speaker 1: yesterday I came on the show and I was, you know, said, 76 00:03:52,188 --> 00:03:54,948 Speaker 1: I was like, if Burrow beats Mahomes a fourth time, 77 00:03:55,388 --> 00:03:57,228 Speaker 1: how do you say Mahomes is better? And I ate 78 00:03:57,268 --> 00:03:59,268 Speaker 1: it all day on Twitter. I've been eating a lot 79 00:03:59,268 --> 00:04:05,308 Speaker 1: on Twitter. Later, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, like Mitchell Schwartz 80 00:04:05,308 --> 00:04:08,068 Speaker 1: comes out and starts listing Mahomes's resume. Is if I 81 00:04:08,108 --> 00:04:15,348 Speaker 1: don't know mahomessume you're on a block for him, I 82 00:04:15,828 --> 00:04:19,668 Speaker 1: dame you. Here's the truth of matter is, though, this 83 00:04:19,668 --> 00:04:23,188 Speaker 1: would be another chapter in Mahomes's career that I think 84 00:04:23,308 --> 00:04:25,948 Speaker 1: we would talk about for years and years and years, 85 00:04:26,028 --> 00:04:28,388 Speaker 1: the ankle game, the ankle game, if he came out 86 00:04:28,428 --> 00:04:31,548 Speaker 1: there and he actually found a way to win this one. Um, 87 00:04:31,588 --> 00:04:34,308 Speaker 1: they're underdogs for a good reason. It's because their quarterback 88 00:04:34,428 --> 00:04:37,708 Speaker 1: might not be even close to one hundred percent. UM. 89 00:04:37,748 --> 00:04:39,628 Speaker 1: That's no disrespect to the rest of the Chiefs, that's 90 00:04:39,628 --> 00:04:42,868 Speaker 1: no disrespect to the Arrowhead home field. That's a that's 91 00:04:42,868 --> 00:04:45,508 Speaker 1: a disrespect to just the health of a quarterback who 92 00:04:45,508 --> 00:04:48,148 Speaker 1: we've seen do so much and now finally it seems 93 00:04:48,188 --> 00:04:50,988 Speaker 1: like maybe the injury bug is coming for him, and 94 00:04:51,108 --> 00:04:53,668 Speaker 1: yet he can easily rise above. And then that's the story, 95 00:04:53,668 --> 00:04:55,668 Speaker 1: and it's like one of these amazing deals that were 96 00:04:55,668 --> 00:04:57,588 Speaker 1: like just when you wanted to count out Mahomes again 97 00:04:57,748 --> 00:04:59,748 Speaker 1: he does this and he's going to his third Super 98 00:04:59,788 --> 00:05:01,948 Speaker 1: Bowl and he's under the age of thirty. So I 99 00:05:01,988 --> 00:05:03,988 Speaker 1: think they're underdogs I don't think it's a slight at 100 00:05:04,028 --> 00:05:06,268 Speaker 1: the chief Saw offensive line or what you know what 101 00:05:06,628 --> 00:05:09,108 Speaker 1: we've seen from Marquez Heldes scantling in big moments like 102 00:05:09,148 --> 00:05:12,188 Speaker 1: it's not that it's strictly about Mahomes' ankle, and that 103 00:05:12,228 --> 00:05:13,948 Speaker 1: line can move and all that talk can move if 104 00:05:13,948 --> 00:05:16,308 Speaker 1: we get more updates throughout the week, I'm questionable to 105 00:05:16,348 --> 00:05:19,948 Speaker 1: continue the show. Peter took literally every word I was 106 00:05:19,988 --> 00:05:23,028 Speaker 1: going to say in the second, every syllable, every Peter, 107 00:05:23,068 --> 00:05:25,188 Speaker 1: it's fun. I have the whole Mitchell Schwartz thing. I 108 00:05:25,268 --> 00:05:27,308 Speaker 1: was gonna make a joke about Marc Quisveld got the 109 00:05:27,308 --> 00:05:28,948 Speaker 1: whole thing. So it is what you're doing now. You 110 00:05:28,988 --> 00:05:30,548 Speaker 1: just what happens when you show up to make up 111 00:05:30,548 --> 00:05:33,428 Speaker 1: too early today? Maybe so, maybe so, but you are right. 112 00:05:33,708 --> 00:05:36,268 Speaker 1: So second time ever, he's a home underdog. The only 113 00:05:36,268 --> 00:05:38,908 Speaker 1: other first time was earlier this season against the Bills 114 00:05:39,268 --> 00:05:41,148 Speaker 1: and a game in which they lost and it didn't 115 00:05:41,148 --> 00:05:43,188 Speaker 1: go well. I happen to know a little bit about 116 00:05:43,268 --> 00:05:46,588 Speaker 1: home underdogs in the playoffs. Yeah, it goes well, It 117 00:05:46,668 --> 00:05:48,828 Speaker 1: goes well if the home teams, you know, against the spread, 118 00:05:48,868 --> 00:05:51,108 Speaker 1: but then also winning out right, like it's typically like 119 00:05:51,148 --> 00:05:53,748 Speaker 1: we're at home and we're underdogs, because people get pissed 120 00:05:53,748 --> 00:05:55,588 Speaker 1: off when they're home and they're underdogs in the playoffs, 121 00:05:55,668 --> 00:05:57,468 Speaker 1: like this is not Week three, is not Week fifteen. 122 00:05:57,628 --> 00:06:00,908 Speaker 1: We're home and we're underdogs, and I Bill Simmons has 123 00:06:00,948 --> 00:06:04,188 Speaker 1: his playoff gambling manifesto that he's written for years, and 124 00:06:04,428 --> 00:06:06,788 Speaker 1: it's all. One of the key components is finding the 125 00:06:06,868 --> 00:06:09,308 Speaker 1: nobody believes in this team. What's interesting in the NFC, 126 00:06:09,388 --> 00:06:11,748 Speaker 1: there isn't one. I don't think anybody doesn't believe in 127 00:06:11,748 --> 00:06:14,468 Speaker 1: the Eagles or the Niners. We all completely believe in them, 128 00:06:14,628 --> 00:06:17,268 Speaker 1: which makes that game fascinating. But it's true, like the 129 00:06:17,388 --> 00:06:21,028 Speaker 1: Bengals played it hard. No one has played it harder 130 00:06:21,028 --> 00:06:22,628 Speaker 1: in years than the Bengals played it last week. And 131 00:06:22,628 --> 00:06:25,268 Speaker 1: they had great reason too. The refunds that all that. 132 00:06:25,468 --> 00:06:28,428 Speaker 1: But now inexplicably, we have the most dominant quarterback of 133 00:06:28,468 --> 00:06:30,948 Speaker 1: this era who is playing the nobody believes in us. 134 00:06:30,948 --> 00:06:34,348 Speaker 1: We have arrived that nobody believes at Mahomes. Yeah, the ankle, 135 00:06:34,468 --> 00:06:38,028 Speaker 1: but also that like Joe Burrow owns us Joe Burrow 136 00:06:38,108 --> 00:06:41,068 Speaker 1: won in this stadium last year, in this game last year. 137 00:06:41,508 --> 00:06:43,668 Speaker 1: Just when you think that the nobody believes in us. 138 00:06:43,708 --> 00:06:45,588 Speaker 1: Card is such an eye roller and so cheesy and 139 00:06:45,588 --> 00:06:48,548 Speaker 1: so farcical. At this point, we've reached that nobody believes 140 00:06:48,588 --> 00:06:51,668 Speaker 1: in the Chiefs, and we're here. I will ask let 141 00:06:51,708 --> 00:06:54,388 Speaker 1: me go, let me go on the table without giving 142 00:06:54,428 --> 00:06:59,308 Speaker 1: your picks. When you look to these games, which conference 143 00:06:59,788 --> 00:07:03,108 Speaker 1: are you having a harder time selecting a winner? In? Jason, 144 00:07:03,148 --> 00:07:05,348 Speaker 1: I'll start with you, n see your FFC like you 145 00:07:05,428 --> 00:07:06,588 Speaker 1: have to have to select the winner at the end 146 00:07:06,588 --> 00:07:08,748 Speaker 1: of this week. Which conference is harder for you? Right now? 147 00:07:08,788 --> 00:07:13,748 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say the NFC, it's harder for all. Are 148 00:07:13,788 --> 00:07:16,468 Speaker 1: you feel easier about the NFC? I feel easier. I 149 00:07:16,548 --> 00:07:18,708 Speaker 1: might put a pin in your hypothesis too. I have 150 00:07:18,748 --> 00:07:20,588 Speaker 1: no idea who's winning this game, and I need to 151 00:07:20,588 --> 00:07:22,348 Speaker 1: see more of my home, so that might But if 152 00:07:22,348 --> 00:07:23,948 Speaker 1: you had to choose one of the winners of the 153 00:07:23,988 --> 00:07:25,868 Speaker 1: NFC or a FC, what would you choose? I feel 154 00:07:25,948 --> 00:07:27,348 Speaker 1: I feel like right now, if I had to put 155 00:07:27,468 --> 00:07:29,268 Speaker 1: in the game was tomorrow, I'd feel more confident in 156 00:07:29,308 --> 00:07:31,548 Speaker 1: the AFC game. Yeah, so what high? And I think 157 00:07:31,588 --> 00:07:32,988 Speaker 1: that has a lot to do with the Chiefs and 158 00:07:33,028 --> 00:07:34,668 Speaker 1: the injury and everything. So we're sitting here, what's a 159 00:07:34,708 --> 00:07:37,308 Speaker 1: Wednesday today, and we're saying, yeah, NFC is tough. I 160 00:07:37,468 --> 00:07:39,668 Speaker 1: see a little bit easier pick. Yeah, I'm not gonna 161 00:07:39,708 --> 00:07:43,148 Speaker 1: argue against that man when you say underdogs over dogs 162 00:07:43,188 --> 00:07:46,508 Speaker 1: around dogs like I don't know whoever was this one 163 00:07:46,628 --> 00:07:49,108 Speaker 1: or that one? Yeah, I just like the storyline and 164 00:07:49,188 --> 00:07:51,828 Speaker 1: this to we were point, Kyle. The Chiefs have found 165 00:07:51,908 --> 00:07:54,628 Speaker 1: a way their fans and everybody to say we are 166 00:07:54,668 --> 00:07:58,108 Speaker 1: the lesser team. We're the one that nobody is talking about. 167 00:07:58,308 --> 00:08:01,988 Speaker 1: And Cincinnati is riding high right now. They're in Buffalo, 168 00:08:02,028 --> 00:08:04,388 Speaker 1: they win that game, and there's the guys on the sideline, 169 00:08:04,468 --> 00:08:07,628 Speaker 1: the defense, like we're heading to Burrowhead next weekend. That's 170 00:08:07,628 --> 00:08:13,028 Speaker 1: what they're calling it, Burrowhead because they've gone burrow Yes. 171 00:08:13,988 --> 00:08:16,948 Speaker 1: Now it's now it's like Cincinnati, it's our time. And 172 00:08:16,988 --> 00:08:19,028 Speaker 1: I think Kansas City's buying into this and they're not 173 00:08:19,068 --> 00:08:21,788 Speaker 1: just saying all right over the last week. Now, Cincinnati's 174 00:08:21,788 --> 00:08:24,188 Speaker 1: a team that everybody wants to love. They're going all 175 00:08:24,188 --> 00:08:25,708 Speaker 1: the way back to the summer where it was just 176 00:08:25,748 --> 00:08:28,308 Speaker 1: all right now our divisions being taken from us. Now 177 00:08:28,308 --> 00:08:30,628 Speaker 1: it's gonna be the Raiders. It's gonna be the Broncos. 178 00:08:30,708 --> 00:08:33,388 Speaker 1: Russ is here. Oh the charges were Herbert. They're this 179 00:08:33,468 --> 00:08:36,548 Speaker 1: newfound team. They had added so much talent, they're gonna 180 00:08:36,588 --> 00:08:39,588 Speaker 1: win our division. Kansas City now the fans and everybody 181 00:08:39,628 --> 00:08:42,668 Speaker 1: are buying into that. We've been underdogs all season long. 182 00:08:42,788 --> 00:08:45,228 Speaker 1: They're telling us, don't jump on our bandwagon now and 183 00:08:45,388 --> 00:08:47,508 Speaker 1: trying to say, oh, yeah, we love this. Kansa City's 184 00:08:47,548 --> 00:08:49,188 Speaker 1: always at the top. No, that's not what you were 185 00:08:49,188 --> 00:08:51,748 Speaker 1: saying about us all summer. You wanted to depict all 186 00:08:51,748 --> 00:08:54,108 Speaker 1: of the other people. We saw Kelsey talk about it. 187 00:08:54,148 --> 00:08:56,788 Speaker 1: The division spent a billion dollars just to try to 188 00:08:56,828 --> 00:08:59,908 Speaker 1: beat us, and we're still here on top, right here 189 00:08:59,948 --> 00:09:02,988 Speaker 1: in the conversation. So I love the storyline because somehow 190 00:09:03,108 --> 00:09:05,268 Speaker 1: Kansas City, as good as they been over the last 191 00:09:05,308 --> 00:09:08,228 Speaker 1: few years, they have found a way to add a 192 00:09:08,308 --> 00:09:10,908 Speaker 1: chip on their shoulder to fire him up for this game. 193 00:09:10,908 --> 00:09:13,068 Speaker 1: And I just love all the energy and all the 194 00:09:13,108 --> 00:09:16,108 Speaker 1: news that was going already. Everyone's real spicy this week Urnesday, 195 00:09:16,108 --> 00:09:19,388 Speaker 1: It's Championship Wednesday. We're gonna start hearing news trickle out 196 00:09:19,468 --> 00:09:21,988 Speaker 1: from these four teams. I have a real question though 197 00:09:21,988 --> 00:09:24,908 Speaker 1: about this angle. How much just Patrick Mahomes actually have 198 00:09:25,108 --> 00:09:28,868 Speaker 1: to practice. What are they really installing that this quarterback 199 00:09:28,948 --> 00:09:32,868 Speaker 1: has to be under center for and go through the routes. 200 00:09:33,428 --> 00:09:36,308 Speaker 1: How much does he really have to practice that? I'm 201 00:09:36,348 --> 00:09:38,948 Speaker 1: asking you, Jay, could he just not if he could 202 00:09:38,988 --> 00:09:41,188 Speaker 1: go out there and do a Friday walk through, Yes, 203 00:09:41,428 --> 00:09:44,108 Speaker 1: it's more than fine, Like Patrick Mahomes, if he can 204 00:09:44,148 --> 00:09:46,628 Speaker 1: do Saturday, just go out there and take us stay, 205 00:09:46,988 --> 00:09:48,788 Speaker 1: go out there and play Sunday and we feel great 206 00:09:48,908 --> 00:09:50,548 Speaker 1: enough to put in some silly little merry go around 207 00:09:50,548 --> 00:09:52,108 Speaker 1: play at the goal line they're gonna do. Now, we 208 00:09:52,148 --> 00:09:53,828 Speaker 1: don't need him out there. If he can go out 209 00:09:53,828 --> 00:09:56,108 Speaker 1: there and practice and do some things, it'd be amazing, 210 00:09:56,148 --> 00:09:59,548 Speaker 1: all right, So we can't. So here's the thing about underdogs, 211 00:09:59,548 --> 00:10:03,228 Speaker 1: favors home underdogs whatever. Like knowing that, why would you 212 00:10:03,268 --> 00:10:06,708 Speaker 1: even practice him at all? Until Saturday? Snap, until Saturday 213 00:10:06,708 --> 00:10:09,148 Speaker 1: walks room? Why wouldn't you lean into this like one 214 00:10:09,188 --> 00:10:10,788 Speaker 1: and a half, two and a half point whatever the 215 00:10:10,828 --> 00:10:14,588 Speaker 1: shift is happening there, leave it as underdogs. Leave the doubt, 216 00:10:14,708 --> 00:10:18,548 Speaker 1: just like swimming in the quicksand don't practice him. I 217 00:10:18,668 --> 00:10:20,788 Speaker 1: love it. I think you're right, Like keep him under wraps, 218 00:10:20,828 --> 00:10:23,228 Speaker 1: don't want anyone and quite literally keep under wraps, get 219 00:10:23,188 --> 00:10:25,828 Speaker 1: wrapped that ankle. But I also I wonder if the 220 00:10:25,908 --> 00:10:29,748 Speaker 1: players they might know before the rest of the media 221 00:10:29,788 --> 00:10:31,628 Speaker 1: and before warmups, like if they see him, what can 222 00:10:31,628 --> 00:10:34,708 Speaker 1: remember We're even like Lamar, we heard, you know afterwards, 223 00:10:34,708 --> 00:10:37,388 Speaker 1: being like he was walking around the facility. Percent we 224 00:10:37,428 --> 00:10:39,828 Speaker 1: couldn't know by the today, we're gonna interview everybody. It's 225 00:10:39,828 --> 00:10:41,548 Speaker 1: gonna be the coaches are gonna interview this whole week. 226 00:10:41,548 --> 00:10:43,988 Speaker 1: It's conference championship week. You're gonna get media, My homes 227 00:10:44,028 --> 00:10:45,948 Speaker 1: are gonna be in the building. You could maybe tell 228 00:10:45,988 --> 00:10:47,668 Speaker 1: by the pep and some of those players steps. They're like, 229 00:10:47,668 --> 00:10:49,388 Speaker 1: oh no, our guy's gonna be all right, even if 230 00:10:49,428 --> 00:10:52,468 Speaker 1: we don't see him during practice, right, he handles himself 231 00:10:52,508 --> 00:10:55,668 Speaker 1: in the building, And I think for those guys, no 232 00:10:55,708 --> 00:10:57,988 Speaker 1: matter what he looks like today, he can come in 233 00:10:58,028 --> 00:11:00,308 Speaker 1: there on crutches. I think for those guys as a 234 00:11:00,388 --> 00:11:03,108 Speaker 1: slide he's playing Sunday, we know he's gonna be out there. 235 00:11:03,148 --> 00:11:06,468 Speaker 1: He's already said it. He watched him this past week going. 236 00:11:06,668 --> 00:11:08,868 Speaker 1: But we saw him out there jumping on one lay 237 00:11:09,028 --> 00:11:11,788 Speaker 1: goes in at halftime like Mahomes is done. Heny's gonna 238 00:11:11,788 --> 00:11:13,988 Speaker 1: have to finish his game. Like on top, he goes 239 00:11:14,028 --> 00:11:15,868 Speaker 1: back in the game like they know he's gonna be there. 240 00:11:15,908 --> 00:11:18,268 Speaker 1: So I think there's no doubt in anybody in that 241 00:11:18,348 --> 00:11:21,108 Speaker 1: locker rooms mind. Mahomes is getting fascinating is if he 242 00:11:21,188 --> 00:11:23,348 Speaker 1: if he goes out there and he's just he's hurting. Yeah, 243 00:11:23,468 --> 00:11:25,388 Speaker 1: then the camera goes to Andy and what do you do? 244 00:11:25,468 --> 00:11:26,828 Speaker 1: What do you do in the title game? Do you 245 00:11:26,908 --> 00:11:29,628 Speaker 1: pull him to go with Henny? I don't think he's 246 00:11:29,628 --> 00:11:32,548 Speaker 1: gonna until he says he's not. I can't go, but 247 00:11:32,588 --> 00:11:34,588 Speaker 1: you can't or do you not himself? And You're like, 248 00:11:34,668 --> 00:11:36,188 Speaker 1: I gotta jump in front of you and he's like, 249 00:11:36,308 --> 00:11:38,388 Speaker 1: I don't think we can win with this. Where do 250 00:11:38,428 --> 00:11:41,828 Speaker 1: you work all week on installing legitimate things with Chad 251 00:11:41,908 --> 00:11:44,828 Speaker 1: Henny that you know that just in case that happens 252 00:11:45,348 --> 00:11:47,948 Speaker 1: to go with Maybe that's what he's not gonna practice. 253 00:11:48,028 --> 00:11:50,268 Speaker 1: He's not gonna practice every single day this week. So 254 00:11:50,348 --> 00:11:52,908 Speaker 1: Henry's gonna give a number of sets. We can't wait. 255 00:11:53,268 --> 00:11:56,988 Speaker 1: Championship Sunday. It's getting closer. Top seeded Eagles, Welcome to 256 00:11:57,068 --> 00:11:59,948 Speaker 1: forty nine ers to Philadelphia. That's the first game three 257 00:11:59,988 --> 00:12:03,388 Speaker 1: PM start on Fox. Then it's an AFC Championship rematch. 258 00:12:04,028 --> 00:12:05,908 Speaker 1: Do I say for the ages that feels cheesy, but 259 00:12:05,948 --> 00:12:09,068 Speaker 1: it feels like it's true as well. Arrowhead Stadium, six 260 00:12:09,228 --> 00:12:13,708 Speaker 1: thirty on CBS. It's great. But in the meantime, let's 261 00:12:13,708 --> 00:12:17,028 Speaker 1: play wayper Wednesday, Let's do all right. After being asked 262 00:12:17,068 --> 00:12:20,148 Speaker 1: if the Bengals were tired of being doubted, Bengals wide 263 00:12:20,148 --> 00:12:22,868 Speaker 1: receiver Jamar Chase told the Cincinnati Inquirer quote, we know 264 00:12:22,908 --> 00:12:25,188 Speaker 1: what we're capable of, and that's why we came out here, 265 00:12:25,268 --> 00:12:27,468 Speaker 1: not making a fuss as anybody and just putting on 266 00:12:27,508 --> 00:12:29,708 Speaker 1: a show for the world to see. Great quote. The 267 00:12:29,748 --> 00:12:33,628 Speaker 1: player who will put on a show on Championship Sunday 268 00:12:34,028 --> 00:12:36,668 Speaker 1: is I think this can go so many ways with 269 00:12:36,748 --> 00:12:39,068 Speaker 1: the talent on the field. I think this guy is 270 00:12:39,068 --> 00:12:41,388 Speaker 1: a talented player on the field. But I'm here for 271 00:12:41,428 --> 00:12:47,068 Speaker 1: all the spice, all the salt, Eli Apple. These days, 272 00:12:47,628 --> 00:12:51,068 Speaker 1: we know Eli Apple has had great success against the Chiefs. 273 00:12:51,148 --> 00:12:53,508 Speaker 1: We know Eli Apple likes to run his mouth. We 274 00:12:53,588 --> 00:12:57,348 Speaker 1: also know that Eli Apple on the sidelines on Sunday 275 00:12:57,468 --> 00:13:00,228 Speaker 1: in Buffalo said, oh, we're going to Burrow's head. And 276 00:13:00,268 --> 00:13:03,148 Speaker 1: that has become a thing. Burrow's Head, not Arrow's Head, 277 00:13:03,188 --> 00:13:07,428 Speaker 1: Burrowhead Stadium, Herrowhead Stadium that he owns it. There. You know, 278 00:13:07,468 --> 00:13:11,188 Speaker 1: there's a certain classic athlete and professional athlete and Kyle, 279 00:13:11,188 --> 00:13:13,468 Speaker 1: I'm gonna lean on you with this, and you guys 280 00:13:13,468 --> 00:13:18,708 Speaker 1: can chime. Patrick Beverley is a type of you know, 281 00:13:18,908 --> 00:13:20,908 Speaker 1: I think, uh, you know who is it? Back in 282 00:13:20,988 --> 00:13:25,228 Speaker 1: the Falcons, Ray Bu Kennon was a certain type of player, irritator, 283 00:13:25,508 --> 00:13:29,108 Speaker 1: irritator under your skin. We'll say the things that no 284 00:13:29,108 --> 00:13:31,388 Speaker 1: one else wants to say, and we'll say it loudly 285 00:13:31,388 --> 00:13:34,148 Speaker 1: with a smile on his face. Eli Apple with a 286 00:13:34,148 --> 00:13:36,628 Speaker 1: little emoji of an apple with a smile. I am 287 00:13:36,668 --> 00:13:38,948 Speaker 1: here for it. I bet you before the game there 288 00:13:39,028 --> 00:13:43,188 Speaker 1: is something going on with Eli and those two players. 289 00:13:43,228 --> 00:13:45,628 Speaker 1: Eli Apple's bringing it. He's had success against this team 290 00:13:45,628 --> 00:13:47,668 Speaker 1: before and he has let them know. I'll be watching 291 00:13:47,708 --> 00:13:50,268 Speaker 1: Eli Apples. I love it. I love it. He does 292 00:13:50,268 --> 00:13:52,668 Speaker 1: it year after year. He's past you and goes to 293 00:13:52,708 --> 00:13:55,148 Speaker 1: Twitter to get his point across. I'm going with a 294 00:13:55,268 --> 00:13:59,628 Speaker 1: guy swoll Batman aka A. J. Brown. I think he'll 295 00:13:59,668 --> 00:14:02,108 Speaker 1: put on a show. This is a guy they brought over. 296 00:14:02,148 --> 00:14:04,348 Speaker 1: We know in the off season and has had one 297 00:14:04,668 --> 00:14:06,988 Speaker 1: heck of a year and he's going against a forty 298 00:14:07,068 --> 00:14:09,468 Speaker 1: nine Ers defense that doesn't give up a lot in 299 00:14:09,548 --> 00:14:12,228 Speaker 1: the run game. So for Philadelphia to win this game, 300 00:14:12,268 --> 00:14:14,548 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to get the ball on the outside 301 00:14:14,748 --> 00:14:18,308 Speaker 1: to a J. Brown. And the past two playoff games, 302 00:14:18,308 --> 00:14:20,628 Speaker 1: teams have had some success. Metcalf had one hundred and 303 00:14:20,668 --> 00:14:22,988 Speaker 1: thirty yards, cebe Lamb went over one hundred. So I 304 00:14:23,028 --> 00:14:25,788 Speaker 1: think Championship Sunday it's a time for a J. Brown 305 00:14:25,868 --> 00:14:28,268 Speaker 1: to show out and show why Philadelphia brought him there. 306 00:14:28,868 --> 00:14:32,028 Speaker 1: Moments like that haven't needed him, didn't need him this 307 00:14:32,028 --> 00:14:34,308 Speaker 1: past week, They're gonna need him. I hear that. I 308 00:14:34,348 --> 00:14:36,948 Speaker 1: like the Batman application in Philly. It's evergreen content. You 309 00:14:36,948 --> 00:14:38,668 Speaker 1: can just keep bringing it up and it works. Peter, 310 00:14:38,748 --> 00:14:41,588 Speaker 1: I like your answer too because it applies the whole week, 311 00:14:41,708 --> 00:14:43,868 Speaker 1: Championship week, because Eli Apple is not going anywhere. It's 312 00:14:43,868 --> 00:14:45,668 Speaker 1: not just about the game. My answer applies to the 313 00:14:45,668 --> 00:14:48,148 Speaker 1: week as well. Its supplies to Championship week experience. I 314 00:14:48,188 --> 00:14:51,268 Speaker 1: want to rely on Jason mccordy to have a championship 315 00:14:51,268 --> 00:14:54,228 Speaker 1: performance this week, all right, and the man's won a 316 00:14:54,268 --> 00:14:56,508 Speaker 1: super Bowl. You like to learn a lot from him. Okay, 317 00:14:56,748 --> 00:14:59,628 Speaker 1: we like to rely on his past experiences of making 318 00:14:59,788 --> 00:15:03,948 Speaker 1: massive moments in big place. What it takes to get 319 00:15:04,028 --> 00:15:07,748 Speaker 1: too this moment to the pinnacle. Jase mccordy has been 320 00:15:07,788 --> 00:15:09,588 Speaker 1: one to watch over the last six months on this 321 00:15:09,628 --> 00:15:11,868 Speaker 1: show to learn from. I love learn from every day, 322 00:15:11,948 --> 00:15:14,548 Speaker 1: but I find the next ten days, whether it be 323 00:15:14,748 --> 00:15:18,028 Speaker 1: UI or mccordy's in session or anything of that nature. 324 00:15:18,308 --> 00:15:20,748 Speaker 1: I think Jase mccordy's about to have himself a championship 325 00:15:20,788 --> 00:15:22,828 Speaker 1: week performance on Good Morning Club, Good Person to learn? 326 00:15:23,428 --> 00:15:24,948 Speaker 1: Does that thing heavy? How's it feel when you hold 327 00:15:24,948 --> 00:15:27,148 Speaker 1: on heavy? Yeah? It's pretty heavy? Is it? Bill handed 328 00:15:27,188 --> 00:15:32,228 Speaker 1: it to me off the bus? Seven pounds of immaculate 329 00:15:32,348 --> 00:15:35,068 Speaker 1: sterling silver? Too be seven pounds, But I feel like 330 00:15:35,108 --> 00:15:37,388 Speaker 1: it's like Thor's hammer. You can only stop if you win. 331 00:15:37,028 --> 00:15:41,228 Speaker 1: In This is easy, Who's gonna show out? It's Travis Kelsey. 332 00:15:41,308 --> 00:15:44,268 Speaker 1: It's always Kelsey. It always has been Kelsey. It's always 333 00:15:44,268 --> 00:15:48,268 Speaker 1: gonna be Kelsey. Duh, it's Kelsey. Last week, You're like, well, 334 00:15:48,268 --> 00:15:52,508 Speaker 1: if we can maybe minimize Kelsey fourteen catches warm uplines. 335 00:15:53,108 --> 00:15:55,668 Speaker 1: No one can minimize Kelsey. I would just say, have 336 00:15:55,908 --> 00:15:58,188 Speaker 1: six people guard him and leave the other wide receivers 337 00:15:58,188 --> 00:16:00,308 Speaker 1: wide open. Screw it. You'll have a better chance of 338 00:16:00,348 --> 00:16:02,948 Speaker 1: them dropping it. Kelsey is the wrecker of worlds. It's 339 00:16:02,948 --> 00:16:05,468 Speaker 1: always gonna be Kelsey's pintly have thirty catches this week 340 00:16:05,508 --> 00:16:09,628 Speaker 1: and Kelsey, Kelsey, Kelsey, Kelsey, Kelsey can't get over it. 341 00:16:09,788 --> 00:16:11,988 Speaker 1: So it's Kelsey.

The Cowboys lost on Sunday, 354 00:17:02,468 --> 00:17:04,868 Speaker 1: and less than forty eight hours after to the fact 355 00:17:04,868 --> 00:17:08,068 Speaker 1: their defensive coordinator. Dan Quinn did us a pretty cool 356 00:17:08,148 --> 00:17:10,268 Speaker 1: favor and got on and it's pretty open and honest 357 00:17:10,268 --> 00:17:12,628 Speaker 1: about the Cowboys season, but also open and honest about 358 00:17:12,668 --> 00:17:16,508 Speaker 1: his future. Dan Quinn joining my podcasts eight hours before 359 00:17:16,548 --> 00:17:19,668 Speaker 1: flying to Cincinnat to Arizona for a head coaching interview, 360 00:17:19,748 --> 00:17:21,948 Speaker 1: had Quinnon and I wanted to ask him about maybe 361 00:17:21,988 --> 00:17:24,708 Speaker 1: the most electric player in the league, Michael Parsons. Take 362 00:17:24,748 --> 00:17:26,828 Speaker 1: a listen to what dan Quinn had to say about 363 00:17:26,908 --> 00:17:30,148 Speaker 1: his favorite Michael Parsons play this season. Give me one 364 00:17:30,188 --> 00:17:32,348 Speaker 1: play from this season that just comes to mind. If 365 00:17:32,348 --> 00:17:34,748 Speaker 1: you were to look at the Michael Parsons experience and 366 00:17:34,788 --> 00:17:36,988 Speaker 1: take us through it, I would say we were playing 367 00:17:37,668 --> 00:17:40,188 Speaker 1: Detroit in a game here at home, and we had 368 00:17:40,228 --> 00:17:44,948 Speaker 1: lost to Philadelphia the week prior, and I can remember 369 00:17:44,988 --> 00:17:47,188 Speaker 1: pointing out some plays in the game to say, I 370 00:17:47,228 --> 00:17:49,348 Speaker 1: think you can make that one and that one if 371 00:17:49,348 --> 00:17:52,268 Speaker 1: you really really go. And it just so happened Peter 372 00:17:52,348 --> 00:17:55,748 Speaker 1: that the very next week there was a screenplay and 373 00:17:56,188 --> 00:17:59,868 Speaker 1: he just hauled and chased the tight end and made 374 00:17:59,908 --> 00:18:02,588 Speaker 1: a tackle like on the one inch line, and he 375 00:18:02,588 --> 00:18:04,308 Speaker 1: didn't know if he was going to make it or 376 00:18:04,588 --> 00:18:06,628 Speaker 1: you just had to go and I think that was 377 00:18:06,668 --> 00:18:09,188 Speaker 1: the lesson to say you don't know when the play 378 00:18:09,268 --> 00:18:11,108 Speaker 1: is going to be because he stopped him at like 379 00:18:11,148 --> 00:18:14,308 Speaker 1: the one inch line, and the next play to Marcus 380 00:18:14,348 --> 00:18:17,148 Speaker 1: Lawrence forced to fumble yea on the goal line play. 381 00:18:17,188 --> 00:18:19,628 Speaker 1: So it was like I was so happy that, like 382 00:18:19,708 --> 00:18:22,708 Speaker 1: in one moment, I got to show that's going for 383 00:18:22,788 --> 00:18:25,348 Speaker 1: it and even when you know you might not make it. 384 00:18:25,348 --> 00:18:28,148 Speaker 1: It had to be twenty five yards away, but he 385 00:18:28,228 --> 00:18:31,628 Speaker 1: said I'm going anyway, and he went, and then it 386 00:18:31,748 --> 00:18:33,348 Speaker 1: had to be reviewed. Was he in? Was he out? 387 00:18:33,388 --> 00:18:35,148 Speaker 1: That wasn't the point. The point was he went. So 388 00:18:35,188 --> 00:18:38,668 Speaker 1: the next play because of that run allowed to takeaway 389 00:18:38,668 --> 00:18:40,388 Speaker 1: to take place because to Marcus, you know, made a 390 00:18:40,388 --> 00:18:41,988 Speaker 1: good play and hit him and bar recover. So I 391 00:18:42,068 --> 00:18:44,548 Speaker 1: think that's the sequence. If there was one, you know 392 00:18:44,628 --> 00:18:47,468 Speaker 1: me like teaching, if there was one teaching example for 393 00:18:47,508 --> 00:18:50,788 Speaker 1: this season to say you never know when it's going 394 00:18:50,828 --> 00:18:53,588 Speaker 1: to be that play you just hauled it a few 395 00:18:53,588 --> 00:18:56,668 Speaker 1: work goes. So that's that's the one. That's the one. 396 00:18:56,788 --> 00:18:59,068 Speaker 1: It wasn't some you know, throwing him a glinchey. Wasn't 397 00:18:59,068 --> 00:19:01,428 Speaker 1: that say it was the hustle play that maybe didn't 398 00:19:01,428 --> 00:19:03,508 Speaker 1: show up on the highlight reels the next morning. Um 399 00:19:03,628 --> 00:19:06,748 Speaker 1: dan Quinn interview last night in Arizona, or he flew 400 00:19:06,788 --> 00:19:09,148 Speaker 1: to Arizona. He's interviewed for all these jobs. Headed an 401 00:19:09,148 --> 00:19:11,628 Speaker 1: outstanding season as defensive corner. You see who he is 402 00:19:11,628 --> 00:19:13,308 Speaker 1: as a person. I'll bring it to the table. We 403 00:19:13,388 --> 00:19:14,868 Speaker 1: know him as the coach of the Falcons for so 404 00:19:14,908 --> 00:19:17,588 Speaker 1: many years. Or dan Quinn bring to a team as 405 00:19:17,628 --> 00:19:20,188 Speaker 1: a head coaching hire as we still have five vacancies 406 00:19:20,308 --> 00:19:22,188 Speaker 1: left there in the NFL. Yeah, and I don't know 407 00:19:22,268 --> 00:19:24,668 Speaker 1: dan Quinn personally at all, of just obviously a fan 408 00:19:24,788 --> 00:19:28,228 Speaker 1: watching his defenses and how players respond to him, and 409 00:19:28,308 --> 00:19:30,268 Speaker 1: even seeing that clip like that right there is a 410 00:19:30,268 --> 00:19:32,948 Speaker 1: coach's dream because you always say that to players you 411 00:19:32,988 --> 00:19:35,508 Speaker 1: never know, and then for that sequence of plays to happen. 412 00:19:35,828 --> 00:19:38,108 Speaker 1: It shows. But when I look at dan Quinn, I 413 00:19:38,108 --> 00:19:40,868 Speaker 1: think not only his defensive prowess, but how they do it. 414 00:19:40,908 --> 00:19:44,148 Speaker 1: You watch Dallas and where Michael Parsons is aligned all 415 00:19:44,148 --> 00:19:47,148 Speaker 1: over the field. Dan Quinn's ability to find his best 416 00:19:47,188 --> 00:19:50,228 Speaker 1: players and put them in position to succeed will help 417 00:19:50,308 --> 00:19:53,148 Speaker 1: any team in any franchise. So I'm excited to see 418 00:19:53,148 --> 00:19:55,028 Speaker 1: where he ends up and his type of leadership and 419 00:19:55,068 --> 00:19:57,188 Speaker 1: the way he goes about it and how much players 420 00:19:57,268 --> 00:19:59,948 Speaker 1: enjoy playing for him, which play a huge role in 421 00:20:00,028 --> 00:20:01,948 Speaker 1: a team chemistry. How about he's bringing in the Cowboys. 422 00:20:01,948 --> 00:20:03,668 Speaker 1: I think he's the best coach in that staff. Look 423 00:20:03,708 --> 00:20:05,348 Speaker 1: at the defense in that game, and look what the 424 00:20:05,388 --> 00:20:07,268 Speaker 1: offense did? You know? The Falcons thing, if and when 425 00:20:07,308 --> 00:20:09,308 Speaker 1: dan Quinn gets a job, twenty eighth three will come up. 426 00:20:09,308 --> 00:20:11,188 Speaker 1: It's something that follows him. Around twenty eight to three, 427 00:20:11,188 --> 00:20:13,068 Speaker 1: they lose the Super Bowl. They had the Falcons in 428 00:20:13,108 --> 00:20:16,348 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. The next year, right back in the playoffs, 429 00:20:16,348 --> 00:20:18,268 Speaker 1: they're in Philadelphia the I'm gonna go line. If Matt 430 00:20:18,308 --> 00:20:20,348 Speaker 1: Ryan and Julio Jones can make one play, they knock 431 00:20:20,388 --> 00:20:24,588 Speaker 1: off the eventual Golden Children Philadelphia Eagles team. Great coach, 432 00:20:24,828 --> 00:20:27,788 Speaker 1: great guy, Players love him. I hope he gets another gig, 433 00:20:27,828 --> 00:20:29,028 Speaker 1: and I think he'll crush it when he does. I 434 00:20:29,068 --> 00:20:31,308 Speaker 1: like a dan Quinn higher. I like dan Quinn a lot. 435 00:20:31,388 --> 00:20:33,548 Speaker 1: The way he keeps his humility in check. I have 436 00:20:33,588 --> 00:20:35,788 Speaker 1: always really admired about him. I think he's somebody who 437 00:20:35,788 --> 00:20:38,068 Speaker 1: has really really great senses for who to bring on 438 00:20:38,108 --> 00:20:39,908 Speaker 1: to his staff, and so as a head coach, like 439 00:20:39,948 --> 00:20:42,228 Speaker 1: he had Kyle Shanahan there for years, like to know 440 00:20:42,428 --> 00:20:44,428 Speaker 1: that he could go out and get a guy like 441 00:20:44,588 --> 00:20:46,668 Speaker 1: that to work with Kyler Murray because it's not on 442 00:20:46,788 --> 00:20:48,388 Speaker 1: him to work with Kyler Murray. Let's say he does 443 00:20:48,428 --> 00:20:50,308 Speaker 1: go to Arizona. I think he'd be an excellent pick 444 00:20:50,388 --> 00:20:52,308 Speaker 1: no matter where he goes, because he's not like, I'm 445 00:20:52,388 --> 00:20:55,548 Speaker 1: the guy guy. He knows his role, he knows his jobs. 446 00:20:55,628 --> 00:20:58,308 Speaker 1: Great guy players love playing for Yeah, I would wrap 447 00:20:58,348 --> 00:21:01,388 Speaker 1: it with in the podcast. He's a huge boxing fan. 448 00:21:01,708 --> 00:21:03,668 Speaker 1: So like fifteen minutes of the conversation is that the 449 00:21:03,708 --> 00:21:06,268 Speaker 1: sweet science. We're talking about Haggler hearns and how he 450 00:21:06,308 --> 00:21:09,268 Speaker 1: applies Haggler hearns and how he applies Buster Douglas and 451 00:21:09,308 --> 00:21:12,388 Speaker 1: Mike Tyson to these game plans and teaches the players 452 00:21:12,468 --> 00:21:15,148 Speaker 1: about boxing and the lessons that can be learned from boxing. 453 00:21:15,428 --> 00:21:18,548 Speaker 1: Dan Quinn is a brilliant guy, good dude, and obviously 454 00:21:18,708 --> 00:21:20,508 Speaker 1: he's gonna be everything for jobs and if he does that, 455 00:21:20,628 --> 00:21:22,468 Speaker 1: he'll be the top defensive coordinate as he always is, 456 00:21:22,508 --> 00:21:24,988 Speaker 1: and that'll be just fine with him. That's awesome. All right. 457 00:21:25,028 --> 00:21:28,788 Speaker 1: We've got four teams left heading into Sunday, and four 458 00:21:28,828 --> 00:21:32,388 Speaker 1: intriguing quarterbacks. You gotta write this down. Who is the 459 00:21:32,428 --> 00:21:35,588 Speaker 1: best quarterback playing on Sunday? There were so many topics 460 00:21:35,588 --> 00:21:37,148 Speaker 1: to hit we wanted to cram a couple into one 461 00:21:37,148 --> 00:21:39,268 Speaker 1: in the whiteboard. Is the most efficient way to get there. 462 00:21:39,388 --> 00:21:41,468 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna buy Jay a second so he can 463 00:21:41,508 --> 00:21:43,908 Speaker 1: write down his answer for who is I'm running? I'm 464 00:21:43,948 --> 00:21:47,908 Speaker 1: running ALM running. I'm going with mister Mahomes as the 465 00:21:47,948 --> 00:21:50,668 Speaker 1: best quarterback. And yes, I know he's deal alone with 466 00:21:50,708 --> 00:21:53,148 Speaker 1: an ankle Andrey and all of those things, but you 467 00:21:53,228 --> 00:21:55,188 Speaker 1: gotta give this guy's respect. He went in the ankle, 468 00:21:55,228 --> 00:21:57,708 Speaker 1: Andry went back in the game and continue to perform. 469 00:21:57,868 --> 00:22:00,948 Speaker 1: Didn't throw any throws outside the pocket, but still made 470 00:22:00,988 --> 00:22:04,228 Speaker 1: place for them. And Patrick Mahomes is just great. He's 471 00:22:04,428 --> 00:22:06,948 Speaker 1: on it since he's gotten into the league, since Alex 472 00:22:06,988 --> 00:22:09,828 Speaker 1: Smith left Kansas City. He takes over in twenty eighteen, 473 00:22:10,068 --> 00:22:13,588 Speaker 1: and he's just been fun to watch. So come Championship Sunday, 474 00:22:13,628 --> 00:22:16,068 Speaker 1: I want to see which Patrick Mahomes will get even 475 00:22:16,068 --> 00:22:17,908 Speaker 1: if he is Andrew. This is a guy who's gonna 476 00:22:17,908 --> 00:22:20,668 Speaker 1: be leading his football team. Finds his favorite target in 477 00:22:20,708 --> 00:22:23,748 Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey, but his ability to just make a play, 478 00:22:23,788 --> 00:22:26,148 Speaker 1: no matter how it happens to break down, whether he 479 00:22:26,228 --> 00:22:28,348 Speaker 1: scrambles and runs with it, whether he scrambles and just 480 00:22:28,548 --> 00:22:31,428 Speaker 1: flips one to somebody. Patrick Mahomes, I know there's a 481 00:22:31,428 --> 00:22:33,988 Speaker 1: lot of Burrow talk. We talked about that yesterday. Patrick 482 00:22:34,028 --> 00:22:36,828 Speaker 1: Mahomes to me, is still the best quarterback playing this weekend. 483 00:22:37,028 --> 00:22:40,268 Speaker 1: I think the two best quarterbacks in the NFL right 484 00:22:40,308 --> 00:22:42,948 Speaker 1: now are playing in the AFC Championship Game. I think 485 00:22:42,988 --> 00:22:45,228 Speaker 1: Burrow and Mahomes are the best. Yesterday I said, if 486 00:22:45,268 --> 00:22:47,788 Speaker 1: Burrow beats Mahomes, it's hard to argue that Mahomes is 487 00:22:47,828 --> 00:22:50,068 Speaker 1: better than Burrow. The backlash out I got was mighty 488 00:22:50,108 --> 00:22:51,628 Speaker 1: and a lot of that was it's a team sport. 489 00:22:51,788 --> 00:22:53,788 Speaker 1: A lot of that was, well, if you gave Mahomes 490 00:22:53,868 --> 00:22:57,108 Speaker 1: Jamar Chase and you gave Mahomes, you know, te Higgins, 491 00:22:57,108 --> 00:22:59,068 Speaker 1: And a lot of that was how many mv peces 492 00:22:59,148 --> 00:23:01,468 Speaker 1: Burrow have? How about this? Mahomes and Burrow like the 493 00:23:01,548 --> 00:23:05,308 Speaker 1: face off movie logos, both of these because it's okay 494 00:23:05,348 --> 00:23:08,028 Speaker 1: to say they're both excellent. But I do think, and 495 00:23:08,068 --> 00:23:10,308 Speaker 1: I'll back up my point from yesterday. If we do 496 00:23:10,348 --> 00:23:13,028 Speaker 1: who's the king of the AFC and which quarterback has 497 00:23:13,068 --> 00:23:16,188 Speaker 1: the throne and which one. If you beat Mahomes twice 498 00:23:16,188 --> 00:23:18,548 Speaker 1: in his building, and you've beat him twice in AFC 499 00:23:18,708 --> 00:23:22,188 Speaker 1: championship games and you are four oh against him, Burrow 500 00:23:22,268 --> 00:23:24,708 Speaker 1: can make the claim that he is the king of 501 00:23:24,748 --> 00:23:26,548 Speaker 1: the AFC. I don't care if it's a team sport. 502 00:23:26,588 --> 00:23:28,508 Speaker 1: I don't care how many MPs my home's gonna win. 503 00:23:29,028 --> 00:23:31,468 Speaker 1: There is something to the biggest games, with the biggest 504 00:23:31,468 --> 00:23:34,708 Speaker 1: steaks in these quarterbacks. For years, Peyton Manning had the 505 00:23:34,748 --> 00:23:37,188 Speaker 1: better stats, and for years Peyton Manning had the MVPs. 506 00:23:37,468 --> 00:23:40,348 Speaker 1: But Brady would beat Manning in the big game, and 507 00:23:40,388 --> 00:23:42,388 Speaker 1: there was an argument to be made that Brady was 508 00:23:42,468 --> 00:23:46,188 Speaker 1: better than Manning. It's okay to say that they're both amazing, 509 00:23:46,428 --> 00:23:48,188 Speaker 1: and it's okay to say that there is a world 510 00:23:48,468 --> 00:23:51,388 Speaker 1: where Burrow would have the upper hand. Does Burrow have 511 00:23:51,428 --> 00:23:53,748 Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl for you to say that? 512 00:23:54,188 --> 00:23:55,908 Speaker 1: I don't think it's talking about I'm thinking about when 513 00:23:55,908 --> 00:23:57,868 Speaker 1: these two teams go, say when they go against each other, 514 00:23:57,868 --> 00:23:59,908 Speaker 1: who you're saying the favorite is or I want to 515 00:23:59,948 --> 00:24:01,748 Speaker 1: see it. I want to watch it, But like, don't 516 00:24:01,748 --> 00:24:04,308 Speaker 1: come at me. If Burrow wins, Hey, that's a good point. 517 00:24:04,428 --> 00:24:06,748 Speaker 1: It's allowed to who's the best quarterback? Plan? I'm gonna 518 00:24:06,748 --> 00:24:10,548 Speaker 1: go with Burrow, Mahomes, Hurts and Purty. These guys are 519 00:24:10,548 --> 00:24:12,948 Speaker 1: all good, and that's okay, and it's okay to say 520 00:24:12,948 --> 00:24:15,268 Speaker 1: they're all What are you doing? What are you doing 521 00:24:15,268 --> 00:24:17,028 Speaker 1: with that we're on TV? What's your answer? You want 522 00:24:17,028 --> 00:24:18,988 Speaker 1: me to make a pick of who's the best quarterback? 523 00:24:18,988 --> 00:24:25,148 Speaker 1: That I consciously if I am drafting a team today, 524 00:24:25,348 --> 00:24:28,228 Speaker 1: that's not the question. Read what it says you know 525 00:24:28,268 --> 00:24:29,948 Speaker 1: how to do this show? What are you doing? Why 526 00:24:29,948 --> 00:24:31,748 Speaker 1: are you putting me in a tough spot on I'm 527 00:24:31,788 --> 00:24:34,228 Speaker 1: not you are the guy that's got the takes and 528 00:24:34,268 --> 00:24:37,588 Speaker 1: the thoughts and the brilliance. I am just twitters, but 529 00:24:37,668 --> 00:24:40,788 Speaker 1: on you, I am just a mere reporter offering transactional 530 00:24:40,828 --> 00:24:43,748 Speaker 1: news and injury news all I am. I didn't like 531 00:24:43,828 --> 00:24:46,388 Speaker 1: the blowback I got for taking a take that Burrow 532 00:24:46,508 --> 00:24:48,508 Speaker 1: could have the upper hand on Mahomes, and the reaction 533 00:24:48,628 --> 00:24:50,908 Speaker 1: was so heavy that it shook me a little. I 534 00:24:50,908 --> 00:24:53,268 Speaker 1: don't like that those people are dictating what you're saying 535 00:24:53,268 --> 00:24:56,308 Speaker 1: on the show. You're the godfather here, buddy, What do 536 00:24:56,308 --> 00:25:00,828 Speaker 1: you think you start next? I have a hard time 537 00:25:00,908 --> 00:25:05,108 Speaker 1: saying Burrows better than Mahomes, considering the MVPs and the Curas. Mahomes. 538 00:25:05,348 --> 00:25:07,628 Speaker 1: I have a hard time saying Mahomes over Borough, considering 539 00:25:09,388 --> 00:25:11,348 Speaker 1: is anyone going to answer? Because is anyone going to 540 00:25:11,388 --> 00:25:14,988 Speaker 1: answer the question? I am? I have one. I too, 541 00:25:15,108 --> 00:25:17,508 Speaker 1: took one on the chin yesterday on Twitter, Peter so 542 00:25:17,548 --> 00:25:20,788 Speaker 1: I put from Bengals fans. They're really frustrated with me 543 00:25:21,028 --> 00:25:23,788 Speaker 1: that I made the statement. The problem me, God, you guys, 544 00:25:23,788 --> 00:25:28,108 Speaker 1: what are we doing? We're listening Twitter so hard, like, 545 00:25:28,668 --> 00:25:33,108 Speaker 1: screw those people like this careless call me own your opinion, 546 00:25:33,308 --> 00:25:36,348 Speaker 1: You own your opinions. Three of those I am owning 547 00:25:36,388 --> 00:25:39,508 Speaker 1: my opinion. Okay, this is my opinion. God, never lend 548 00:25:39,548 --> 00:25:42,988 Speaker 1: those people. You are getting after us me for saying 549 00:25:43,028 --> 00:25:45,348 Speaker 1: that I think the Bengals have to win a Super 550 00:25:45,348 --> 00:25:49,748 Speaker 1: Bowl in order to shake a early nineties bills over 551 00:25:50,108 --> 00:25:52,668 Speaker 1: super Bowl run. People were up in arms. We're not 552 00:25:52,748 --> 00:25:55,588 Speaker 1: Why can't we be respected? We're disrespected like the you 553 00:25:55,708 --> 00:25:57,868 Speaker 1: just have to win, That's all I'm saying. Why Why 554 00:25:57,908 --> 00:26:00,468 Speaker 1: are you so frustrated with people thinking that you're not 555 00:26:00,508 --> 00:26:03,148 Speaker 1: respecting enough. Why don't you put your head down as fans? 556 00:26:03,188 --> 00:26:05,708 Speaker 1: As a fan, basic. This game in this weekend not enough. 557 00:26:05,988 --> 00:26:09,108 Speaker 1: In two weeks the game is not enough. Winning a 558 00:26:09,228 --> 00:26:12,028 Speaker 1: parade is enough. And then come back at me and 559 00:26:12,068 --> 00:26:14,388 Speaker 1: be mad at Peter when he picks Mahomes. Yes, and 560 00:26:14,428 --> 00:26:16,628 Speaker 1: then come back at somebody else when they pick Purty. 561 00:26:16,788 --> 00:26:19,788 Speaker 1: Just preach your guy and go with him, and being 562 00:26:19,828 --> 00:26:22,468 Speaker 1: mad when someone disrespects you. Someone else didn't pick your 563 00:26:22,468 --> 00:26:26,188 Speaker 1: team for the Super Bowlkes, it's September, all right, you're 564 00:26:26,188 --> 00:26:29,548 Speaker 1: still playing. It's almost February. Be happy about that, but 565 00:26:29,588 --> 00:26:31,428 Speaker 1: don't be satisfied by it. Go out and win a 566 00:26:31,468 --> 00:26:34,468 Speaker 1: super Bowl. Well raised, three of those names still waiting 567 00:26:34,468 --> 00:26:36,828 Speaker 1: for you to pick somebody too. Yeah, I'll say Mahomes. Yeah, 568 00:26:37,188 --> 00:26:38,868 Speaker 1: Mahomes is gonna be the MVP. If you want to 569 00:26:38,908 --> 00:26:40,948 Speaker 1: say this weekend, I'll say Burrow. Mahomes is hurt. So 570 00:26:41,068 --> 00:26:44,908 Speaker 1: the answer the question, there's the question is Burrow. It's 571 00:26:44,948 --> 00:26:48,068 Speaker 1: it's Burrow because Mahomes is not himself. But listen, but 572 00:26:48,108 --> 00:26:50,268 Speaker 1: if I'm saying that because I want to, not because 573 00:26:50,428 --> 00:26:54,988 Speaker 1: the one ankle Mahomes. If the Mahomes is healthy, Mahomes 574 00:26:55,068 --> 00:26:56,908 Speaker 1: is better. Yes, Mahomes is the MVAP. Mahomes is the 575 00:26:56,948 --> 00:26:59,148 Speaker 1: best quarterback right now. That's why I think Mahomes is 576 00:26:59,188 --> 00:27:01,268 Speaker 1: the best quarterback in the playoffs. But this this week, 577 00:27:01,348 --> 00:27:03,988 Speaker 1: Championship Sunday, I will say Burrow because Mahomes is not 578 00:27:04,068 --> 00:27:06,348 Speaker 1: himself's pretty act. It's pretty pretty easy. Chiefs fans running 579 00:27:06,348 --> 00:27:08,468 Speaker 1: a little tight this week. It's almost like the umpire 580 00:27:08,548 --> 00:27:12,828 Speaker 1: is coming to a close. Mattle, little tight, little tight. 581 00:27:13,028 --> 00:27:15,588 Speaker 1: The party might be over. Guys, there's another rooster in 582 00:27:15,628 --> 00:27:18,588 Speaker 1: the henhouse. Sorry, sorry, beat him, Beat him, and then 583 00:27:18,588 --> 00:27:20,228 Speaker 1: you can go on to the super Bowl. Okay, go ahead. 584 00:27:20,308 --> 00:27:22,068 Speaker 1: I also think Jalen Hurt should be considered, but he's 585 00:27:22,108 --> 00:27:23,868 Speaker 1: hurt a little bit too. Whatever. Okay, we're down to 586 00:27:24,068 --> 00:27:27,788 Speaker 1: four potential super Bowl matchups. Which super Bowl matchup would 587 00:27:27,828 --> 00:27:30,188 Speaker 1: be the most fun? Okay, Peter again, not like this 588 00:27:30,228 --> 00:27:31,828 Speaker 1: is why I think it is gonna play who's gonna 589 00:27:31,828 --> 00:27:34,708 Speaker 1: win the most fun? I think Andy Reid versus the 590 00:27:34,748 --> 00:27:37,388 Speaker 1: Eagles is really fun. Oh yeah, if you can have 591 00:27:37,428 --> 00:27:40,548 Speaker 1: a Chief's Eagles. I know everyone says you the Kelsey Brothers, 592 00:27:40,548 --> 00:27:42,828 Speaker 1: and that's fine, that's gonna there's gonna be a lot 593 00:27:42,868 --> 00:27:45,908 Speaker 1: of segments on the Kelsey brother But for Andy Reid 594 00:27:45,988 --> 00:27:49,108 Speaker 1: to go to five championship games really burnt that Eagles 595 00:27:49,748 --> 00:27:53,268 Speaker 1: generation of fans and that whole entire era. Get fired 596 00:27:53,308 --> 00:27:55,588 Speaker 1: and then redo the whole thing in Kansas City, win 597 00:27:55,588 --> 00:27:57,628 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl of Kansas City, and then get in 598 00:27:57,668 --> 00:28:00,948 Speaker 1: the way of this new Eagles franchise that is so 599 00:28:01,108 --> 00:28:03,908 Speaker 1: fresh and so young. Andy versus the Eagles, to me, 600 00:28:03,948 --> 00:28:08,348 Speaker 1: would be a great storyline if I'm going forty nine 601 00:28:08,428 --> 00:28:11,068 Speaker 1: Ers and the Chiefs, and for me, I just these 602 00:28:11,108 --> 00:28:13,508 Speaker 1: offensive minds that would be in this game. The play 603 00:28:13,588 --> 00:28:16,508 Speaker 1: design we always try to take away from Perdy because 604 00:28:16,548 --> 00:28:18,988 Speaker 1: just like when Shanahan draws it up, this guy's wide open, 605 00:28:19,068 --> 00:28:22,308 Speaker 1: that guy where's DEEPO, Samuel's gonna lie McCaffrey, and you're 606 00:28:22,308 --> 00:28:24,348 Speaker 1: going the chief side. They're doing the snow goal play 607 00:28:24,388 --> 00:28:27,268 Speaker 1: where they're running around there. They started the game last 608 00:28:27,268 --> 00:28:30,188 Speaker 1: week with an option. They ran an option to Pacheco. 609 00:28:30,228 --> 00:28:32,628 Speaker 1: So I would love to see these two offensive minds 610 00:28:32,788 --> 00:28:35,708 Speaker 1: go ahead to head. I have the same one's the 611 00:28:35,788 --> 00:28:38,628 Speaker 1: rematch is awesome and it's we start a few years 612 00:28:38,668 --> 00:28:40,628 Speaker 1: back and I remember this video of Kittle on the 613 00:28:40,668 --> 00:28:43,468 Speaker 1: sideline as the final seconds are ticking down and he's saying, 614 00:28:43,708 --> 00:28:45,588 Speaker 1: you know, I vow on my life. I will return 615 00:28:45,628 --> 00:28:48,028 Speaker 1: to this game and imagine if Kittle gets back and 616 00:28:48,108 --> 00:28:50,908 Speaker 1: it's still it's these guys running wasp and pulling things 617 00:28:50,948 --> 00:28:52,868 Speaker 1: out of their backside and pulling the rug out again. 618 00:28:52,868 --> 00:28:56,068 Speaker 1: Imagine if the Chiefs beat the Niners again and Shanahan 619 00:28:56,108 --> 00:28:59,388 Speaker 1: walks off again losing, or imagine if the Niners get revenge. 620 00:28:59,428 --> 00:29:01,068 Speaker 1: I love a rematch, and then maybe we'll do a 621 00:29:01,148 --> 00:29:03,308 Speaker 1: rubber match next year. I'm into it. I want a 622 00:29:03,348 --> 00:29:06,028 Speaker 1: new match. Are fun, but sometimes you got established a 623 00:29:06,068 --> 00:29:08,668 Speaker 1: new first. Rookie quarterback never rookie quarterback has never been 624 00:29:08,668 --> 00:29:11,068 Speaker 1: in a Super Bowl, right no, right now, there's never 625 00:29:11,108 --> 00:29:13,988 Speaker 1: been one. I kind of love the pretty Burrow experience 626 00:29:14,308 --> 00:29:17,708 Speaker 1: we talked about yesterday, the whole opposite on the fashion 627 00:29:17,788 --> 00:29:20,708 Speaker 1: spectrum between those two talk about fun. Super Bowl is 628 00:29:20,708 --> 00:29:24,028 Speaker 1: all fun. It's all encapsulating from Monday to Monday, wire 629 00:29:24,028 --> 00:29:26,908 Speaker 1: to wire. Super Bowl is fun. So when these guys arrive, 630 00:29:27,068 --> 00:29:29,548 Speaker 1: like I would be totally intrigued by brock Party and 631 00:29:29,588 --> 00:29:32,188 Speaker 1: just how he handles because we've talked about before Monday 632 00:29:32,308 --> 00:29:34,588 Speaker 1: night of Super Bowl availability for the media, for the 633 00:29:34,588 --> 00:29:36,988 Speaker 1: whole team, like that rookie quarterback could like stand on 634 00:29:37,068 --> 00:29:38,668 Speaker 1: his feet for too long, Like all of a sudden, 635 00:29:38,708 --> 00:29:41,028 Speaker 1: he could be fried come Friday, and someone's got to 636 00:29:41,028 --> 00:29:42,708 Speaker 1: get ahold of him, be like, get your grips to 637 00:29:42,788 --> 00:29:44,188 Speaker 1: the other. Can't we have a super Bowl to play 638 00:29:44,188 --> 00:29:45,788 Speaker 1: it on Sunday. I kind of love this to be 639 00:29:45,868 --> 00:29:48,268 Speaker 1: like The New Guard, but with like a really old 640 00:29:48,348 --> 00:29:51,068 Speaker 1: fashioned tea. I don't know, it's I think it's fascinating. 641 00:29:51,068 --> 00:29:53,868 Speaker 1: You'd have the first pick overall and Joe Burrow and 642 00:29:53,908 --> 00:29:56,828 Speaker 1: then the last pick and they'd be going at it, 643 00:29:56,828 --> 00:29:58,508 Speaker 1: and it kind of shows everywhere in between is where 644 00:29:58,508 --> 00:30:00,268 Speaker 1: your NFL game can be. That would be a really 645 00:30:00,308 --> 00:30:04,708 Speaker 1: relevant storyline. Pewter movie. That was great. Good six question 646 00:30:04,748 --> 00:30:07,708 Speaker 1: for a day there, Kyle, All right, rookie of your finalists, 647 00:30:07,828 --> 00:30:10,668 Speaker 1: who's gonna do it?

This is a thrill. 649 00:30:25,988 --> 00:30:28,508 Speaker 1: I really probably do this. It's time to officially announce 650 00:30:28,588 --> 00:30:32,068 Speaker 1: the finalists for the AP Offensive and Defensive Rookie of 651 00:30:32,068 --> 00:30:34,588 Speaker 1: the Year Awards.

Kenneth Walker the third, 658 00:30:56,508 --> 00:31:00,028 Speaker 1: the Michigan State running back drafted by the Seahawks, exploded 659 00:31:00,068 --> 00:31:02,668 Speaker 1: on the scene early with team offensively that not a 660 00:31:02,668 --> 00:31:04,628 Speaker 1: lot of people will knew where Pete Carroll was going. 661 00:31:04,948 --> 00:31:08,028 Speaker 1: He was a fantastic option. And then of course Garrett Wilson, 662 00:31:08,188 --> 00:31:11,428 Speaker 1: who shine even as the Jets went through their quarterback question. 663 00:31:11,428 --> 00:31:14,468 Speaker 1: More as the season went down, the stress. So which 664 00:31:14,468 --> 00:31:16,788 Speaker 1: of the finalist you guys, stands out to you the most? Kyle, 665 00:31:16,828 --> 00:31:19,148 Speaker 1: you get to start well, Purty jumps out and Peter's 666 00:31:19,148 --> 00:31:21,348 Speaker 1: been on this for weeks. Peter was pointing this out. 667 00:31:21,388 --> 00:31:24,028 Speaker 1: It's important to remember that the playoff win last week 668 00:31:24,188 --> 00:31:25,988 Speaker 1: or this week or ever, it has nothing to do 669 00:31:25,988 --> 00:31:28,588 Speaker 1: with the voting because the boating is already in played 670 00:31:28,628 --> 00:31:30,788 Speaker 1: so few games. It's historical. If you look back at 671 00:31:30,828 --> 00:31:32,988 Speaker 1: some of the Rookies of the Year offensive over the years, 672 00:31:33,748 --> 00:31:35,708 Speaker 1: sometimes to find this few games you have to go 673 00:31:35,708 --> 00:31:37,948 Speaker 1: to when they played a twelve game season, people like 674 00:31:38,068 --> 00:31:41,428 Speaker 1: Jim Brown going all the way back. O'Dell won it 675 00:31:41,548 --> 00:31:44,628 Speaker 1: playing very few games, but we've never seen this few 676 00:31:44,668 --> 00:31:46,748 Speaker 1: games in a season that was not stortinged by a 677 00:31:46,828 --> 00:31:49,628 Speaker 1: strike or by history. It would be unprecedented for him 678 00:31:49,628 --> 00:31:52,628 Speaker 1: to win. Perdie has only played in six regular season games, 679 00:31:52,668 --> 00:31:54,868 Speaker 1: but he did win every one of those games, and 680 00:31:54,948 --> 00:31:58,028 Speaker 1: the offense improved with Purty. The case for Purdy to 681 00:31:58,108 --> 00:31:59,948 Speaker 1: tough one. It's rookie of the year, not rookie of 682 00:31:59,948 --> 00:32:02,308 Speaker 1: the month, not rookie of the six weeks. And yet 683 00:32:02,348 --> 00:32:04,628 Speaker 1: I would say Brock Purdy did more for his team 684 00:32:04,668 --> 00:32:07,188 Speaker 1: than any other one of these rookies. And look where 685 00:32:07,228 --> 00:32:09,628 Speaker 1: they are now. Yeah, you can't deny I brought party success, 686 00:32:09,668 --> 00:32:11,628 Speaker 1: But a guy I'm looking at is down here at 687 00:32:11,628 --> 00:32:14,988 Speaker 1: to bottom. Garrett Wilson, receiver over a thousand yards, led 688 00:32:15,028 --> 00:32:17,668 Speaker 1: all rookies, but it was more impressive how he did it. 689 00:32:17,868 --> 00:32:21,348 Speaker 1: Multiple quarterbacks playing for the Jets this past year. The 690 00:32:21,388 --> 00:32:23,628 Speaker 1: beginning of the season is Flacco throwing the passes and 691 00:32:23,708 --> 00:32:26,188 Speaker 1: he's having good games. There's Zach Wilson comes back and 692 00:32:26,268 --> 00:32:28,268 Speaker 1: he's kind of goes quiet. Zach Wilson not able to 693 00:32:28,308 --> 00:32:30,548 Speaker 1: give him the ball. Next you know, Mike White comes 694 00:32:30,588 --> 00:32:33,908 Speaker 1: in and no matter who the quarterback was, Garrett Wilson 695 00:32:34,028 --> 00:32:36,788 Speaker 1: found a way to be productive and to help his 696 00:32:36,948 --> 00:32:40,068 Speaker 1: team come close to making employefs. Not quite there. But 697 00:32:40,228 --> 00:32:43,228 Speaker 1: this guy's electric. He's fun to watch, shifty, just a 698 00:32:43,268 --> 00:32:45,308 Speaker 1: really good football player. He is. He is really fun 699 00:32:45,348 --> 00:32:49,348 Speaker 1: to watch. Production study, production Rookie of the year. This guy, 700 00:32:49,628 --> 00:32:52,228 Speaker 1: like I said, exploded on the scene early this season. 701 00:32:52,468 --> 00:32:55,428 Speaker 1: Where's this sty coming from? We had no idea that offensively, 702 00:32:55,508 --> 00:32:57,188 Speaker 1: this is what Seattle is going to rely on in 703 00:32:57,308 --> 00:33:00,148 Speaker 1: terms of their identity. He was fantastic to watch. He's 704 00:33:00,148 --> 00:33:02,748 Speaker 1: like shot out of a cannon. This young man, Kenneth 705 00:33:02,788 --> 00:33:06,228 Speaker 1: Marker the third down the stretch continued to have back 706 00:33:06,308 --> 00:33:08,468 Speaker 1: to back to back one hundred yard rushing games for 707 00:33:08,708 --> 00:33:11,268 Speaker 1: the Seahawks. You look great, but the point is year 708 00:33:11,468 --> 00:33:16,708 Speaker 1: long production for a team that looked good and honestly, 709 00:33:16,788 --> 00:33:18,428 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll, we just weren't sure where they were going 710 00:33:18,468 --> 00:33:21,548 Speaker 1: to go and look look at him Roll. Kenneth Walker 711 00:33:21,628 --> 00:33:24,068 Speaker 1: the third I thought he was an ear an early favorite, 712 00:33:24,348 --> 00:33:25,828 Speaker 1: and the fact that he's on the list to finish 713 00:33:25,868 --> 00:33:27,868 Speaker 1: out the season is a tremendous honor. He finished the 714 00:33:27,908 --> 00:33:30,188 Speaker 1: season strong too. Remember they won their last two games 715 00:33:30,268 --> 00:33:32,068 Speaker 1: and Kenneth Walker they ran on his back to do it. 716 00:33:32,188 --> 00:33:35,028 Speaker 1: Guys that did not get to the finalist stage, Chris o'lave, 717 00:33:35,228 --> 00:33:37,908 Speaker 1: we see you. Great year. Damian Pierce, we see you. 718 00:33:38,068 --> 00:33:41,268 Speaker 1: Great year. Jamari Sawyer out there for the Chargers, filling 719 00:33:41,308 --> 00:33:43,748 Speaker 1: in for Rashawn Slater. Great year. But we can only 720 00:33:43,788 --> 00:33:46,028 Speaker 1: have three finalists, and those the offensive Rookie of the 721 00:33:46,068 --> 00:33:47,588 Speaker 1: Year finalists. It was the nicest. It would have been 722 00:33:47,628 --> 00:33:49,348 Speaker 1: nice to see where Bruce Hall would have ended up 723 00:33:49,588 --> 00:33:52,548 Speaker 1: healthy for the New York Jets as well. But let's 724 00:33:52,588 --> 00:33:54,508 Speaker 1: move on. That's enough of offense. Like let's move on 725 00:33:54,588 --> 00:33:57,348 Speaker 1: to a has been a defensive player of the year. 726 00:33:57,428 --> 00:34:00,668 Speaker 1: The rookies, the finalists, I'm sorry, yes, the defensive players. 727 00:34:00,868 --> 00:34:03,228 Speaker 1: Let's check out the list right here. Rookies. We have 728 00:34:03,588 --> 00:34:05,828 Speaker 1: Sauce guard and we know what he was able to do. 729 00:34:06,148 --> 00:34:07,948 Speaker 1: We saw him when he was drafted. Had the big 730 00:34:08,068 --> 00:34:10,748 Speaker 1: chain on said Sauce had the bottle he starred as 731 00:34:10,788 --> 00:34:14,788 Speaker 1: a mod later earned Sauce, Aiden Hutchinson, Michael Jackson, Billy 732 00:34:14,868 --> 00:34:17,988 Speaker 1: Jean himself out there, not only performing in training camp, 733 00:34:18,188 --> 00:34:21,388 Speaker 1: but making plays defensively for the Lions throughout the season 734 00:34:21,668 --> 00:34:24,428 Speaker 1: at Tariq Wolln, the guy who came out of nowhere, 735 00:34:24,748 --> 00:34:28,068 Speaker 1: the tall and lengthy corner for Seattle getting it done, 736 00:34:28,268 --> 00:34:33,228 Speaker 1: Interceptions a plenty. These are your finalists for the defensive 737 00:34:33,308 --> 00:34:35,948 Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year. What do we all think? Who 738 00:34:36,028 --> 00:34:39,228 Speaker 1: stands out? Who does your eyes draw to? Peter? You'll 739 00:34:39,268 --> 00:34:41,268 Speaker 1: start it all. Sauce Gardner's a first team All Pro 740 00:34:41,628 --> 00:34:43,868 Speaker 1: as a rookie. That means that he was voted as 741 00:34:43,948 --> 00:34:46,348 Speaker 1: the best at his position, and it was his first 742 00:34:46,428 --> 00:34:48,108 Speaker 1: year in the league. A top five pick who not 743 00:34:48,188 --> 00:34:52,068 Speaker 1: only exceeded expectations but then set the standard for future 744 00:34:52,268 --> 00:34:55,028 Speaker 1: top five picks at the position. They threw away from him, 745 00:34:55,068 --> 00:34:56,388 Speaker 1: they didn't want to look at him, and every time 746 00:34:56,388 --> 00:34:57,748 Speaker 1: he did throw him, he seemed to pick it off. 747 00:34:58,028 --> 00:35:00,668 Speaker 1: I thought he had a flawless rookie campaign and it's 748 00:35:00,708 --> 00:35:02,588 Speaker 1: one of the many reasons why the Jets had reason 749 00:35:02,628 --> 00:35:04,908 Speaker 1: for optimism moving forward. I go saucecar a big time, 750 00:35:04,988 --> 00:35:07,908 Speaker 1: and Sauce Carter had an unbelievable moment at Lambeau when 751 00:35:07,948 --> 00:35:09,868 Speaker 1: he put on the cheese had and we're like that's 752 00:35:09,868 --> 00:35:12,468 Speaker 1: an endearing quality that wasn't annoying, Like we actually liked that. 753 00:35:12,828 --> 00:35:15,908 Speaker 1: Speaking of performing at Lambo, Aidan Hutchinson had an unbelievable 754 00:35:16,028 --> 00:35:19,508 Speaker 1: season for the Lions. Picked off Aaron Rodgers. I picked 755 00:35:19,628 --> 00:35:21,348 Speaker 1: him as my defensive view of the Year, but only 756 00:35:21,428 --> 00:35:23,748 Speaker 1: because I'm a little bit biased towards Michigan. I had 757 00:35:23,948 --> 00:35:26,148 Speaker 1: no idea if this was actually going to pan out. 758 00:35:26,428 --> 00:35:29,748 Speaker 1: He made the Lions defense better. He was picking guys off, 759 00:35:29,828 --> 00:35:31,668 Speaker 1: he was sacking quarterbacks. It wasn't like he was just 760 00:35:31,748 --> 00:35:33,708 Speaker 1: a one trick pony. We kind of fell in love 761 00:35:33,748 --> 00:35:35,748 Speaker 1: with him, or we thought we were gonna like him 762 00:35:35,788 --> 00:35:37,548 Speaker 1: when we saw him on hard knocks, and then his 763 00:35:37,708 --> 00:35:40,508 Speaker 1: play backed up. His personality his family is one that 764 00:35:40,548 --> 00:35:42,788 Speaker 1: you really enjoy watching. He's a really fun player, and 765 00:35:42,868 --> 00:35:44,308 Speaker 1: I am thrilled that he's going to be an anchor 766 00:35:44,388 --> 00:35:46,028 Speaker 1: on the Lions defense for years to come. It felt 767 00:35:46,028 --> 00:35:47,708 Speaker 1: like Sauce ran away with the same, but Hutchinson came 768 00:35:47,788 --> 00:35:50,708 Speaker 1: running at the ends. Look, I'd like to see sauceman 769 00:35:50,748 --> 00:35:52,508 Speaker 1: just sit he wears on stage and honors. I think 770 00:35:52,508 --> 00:35:54,388 Speaker 1: there'd be a thrill for that. I do wonder though, 771 00:35:54,468 --> 00:35:56,308 Speaker 1: if he and his teammate can split the vote a 772 00:35:56,388 --> 00:35:59,668 Speaker 1: little bit. So Garrett Wilson an offense, Sauce Carter in defense. 773 00:36:00,228 --> 00:36:02,268 Speaker 1: Latimer and Kamara wanted on the same team with the 774 00:36:02,308 --> 00:36:04,188 Speaker 1: Saints a few years ago. Both ROI, He's of the year. 775 00:36:04,428 --> 00:36:06,468 Speaker 1: I just get inside the heads of voters. Let's say 776 00:36:06,508 --> 00:36:08,628 Speaker 1: you want Garrett Wilson and you vote for him for 777 00:36:08,708 --> 00:36:11,228 Speaker 1: offensive Rookie the year. Then you get to defense rookie. 778 00:36:11,268 --> 00:36:13,988 Speaker 1: Are you voting for two Jets or you made Say ah, 779 00:36:14,148 --> 00:36:15,948 Speaker 1: let's spread the wealth. Let's go to Hudsinson. He was 780 00:36:15,988 --> 00:36:17,828 Speaker 1: amazing at the end of the year. That could happen, 781 00:36:17,948 --> 00:36:21,148 Speaker 1: but Sauce was phenomenal. Yeah, hard to deny Sauce or Aiden. 782 00:36:21,268 --> 00:36:23,348 Speaker 1: But I want to give some love to Trek wool 783 00:36:23,348 --> 00:36:25,828 Speaker 1: And this was a guy I appreciate, a late round 784 00:36:25,908 --> 00:36:28,548 Speaker 1: draft pick, came out of nowhere. No one expected to 785 00:36:28,628 --> 00:36:30,668 Speaker 1: have this type of season that he had. I think 786 00:36:30,668 --> 00:36:33,908 Speaker 1: it was six interceptions that he had, also recovered some fumbles, 787 00:36:34,068 --> 00:36:37,988 Speaker 1: and he became the guy in Seattle comparisons to Richard Sherman. 788 00:36:38,068 --> 00:36:41,068 Speaker 1: He was there working with him in training camps. Loved 789 00:36:41,108 --> 00:36:44,188 Speaker 1: watching Trek Wooling and him and Sauce Gardner their teams 790 00:36:44,188 --> 00:36:46,028 Speaker 1: played against each other at the end of the season, 791 00:36:46,308 --> 00:36:48,708 Speaker 1: and they talked about kind of everybody comparing the two 792 00:36:49,268 --> 00:36:52,748 Speaker 1: really good football players corner. Not an easy position to 793 00:36:52,908 --> 00:36:54,948 Speaker 1: go out there and perform as a rookie. Drafting is 794 00:36:54,988 --> 00:36:58,148 Speaker 1: really hard, but to have two Rookies of the Year 795 00:36:58,268 --> 00:37:01,308 Speaker 1: nominees from the same team, Jets have two guys. Seauffs 796 00:37:01,348 --> 00:37:03,668 Speaker 1: have two guys. Shout out to ownership management for picking 797 00:37:03,708 --> 00:37:06,668 Speaker 1: the right guys year. That's fantastic.
