00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,920

27
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,320

00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 3: He has the potential to be like the cutest and

31
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 3: then the most like little I don't even know you

32
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 3: not one too. I know's your's the big boy. You

33
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 3: told me four and hold Finn is a big forty

34
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 3: pounder picture.

35
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 2: That's crazy because like, so I have a mini Golden,

36
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 2: so like that's the size of my Golden.

37
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 3: They're projecting Finn to be ninety pounds. By the way,

38
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 3: I'm really funny when you when you rescue a dog

39
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 3: like they so they don't know what he is, you

40
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 3: have no idea. They think that he's some sort of

41
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 3: German shepherd mix and they told us forty pounds initially,

42
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 3: and I'm like, there's no way he's gonna be like

43
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 3: seventy five eighty. And then I'm gonna have big dog privilege, guys.

44
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 3: And if you don't know how big dog privilege is.

45
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 3: I get to walk him by myself and feel safe.

46
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 3: Oh yeah at night, oh handsound because he's a big

47
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 3: dog and nobody's gonna mess with me. Yeah, that's not it.

48
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 3: That's not a normal thing that women get to do.

49
00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 3: It's more of alone at night. So now I get

50

52
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 3: this all in. Yeah, we're bringing him to New Orleans

53
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,360

00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: for a Super Bowl preview. You guys, we have fish

99
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 2: actually have a Super Bowl fifty seven rematch. And the

100
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 2: first image that popped in my head, like once this

101
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 2: was set, that I thought of was Jalen Hurts on

102
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 2: the field walking off the field in Arizona, covered in

103
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 2: the Chiefs confetti and this was the lock screen on

104
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 2: his phone that we found out later. He didn't tell us,

105
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 2: but a photographer caught the photo of him having that

106
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 2: as his back screen as motivation. So you know he

107
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 2: has been waiting for this moment to get back here

108
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 2: and get that redemption. But you also knew that it

109
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 2: was going to be I mean I did. I thought

110
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 2: it was Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs were going to

111
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 2: get back here because they're just a different team in

112
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 2: the playoffs. Andy Reid saves his best stuff for the postseason.

113
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 2: I mean, we talked about it midseason. We asked who

114
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 2: were the Chief's biggest competition? I said, whoever they faced

115
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl. Like, that's that's just what it is.

116
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 2: Because until someone can prove that they can compete and

117
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 2: beat Mahomes in the playoffs, it's really hard to bet

118
00:04:59,120 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 2: against him.

119
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 4: But let's start with the Eagles and how they got here.

120
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 4: First of all, what a ride for Saquon Barkley.

121
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 2: You guys, this man set the tone and really kind

122
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 2: of put the team on his back along with Jalen Hurts.

123
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 4: I mean, they were like an incredible combo.

124
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 2: He had a career regular season over two thousand rushing yards,

125
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 2: could have beat Eric Dickerson's all time sequal season rushing record,

126
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 2: but they rested him the last game of the regular

127
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 2: season for this exact moment. We all said, if they

128
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 2: didn't get here, that would have been a WTF kind

129
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 2: of moment, But in hindsight, they made the right move.

130
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 2: Saquon Barkley took it to a new level in the

131
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 2: postseason as expected, and it's just it's what great players do.

132
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 2: They elevate when the stakes are high. I mean, versus

133
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 2: the Rams in that crazy snow game, still had two

134
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 2: hundred and five rushing yards and two touchdowns.

135
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 3: I mean, to be fair, how else, are you going

136
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 3: to move the ball?

137
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 2: No, but he did it, you know, like you can

138
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 2: say that, and as like the best running back in

139
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 2: the league right now, you still have to do it.

140
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 4: And then against the Commander's three touchdowns.

141
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 2: So the way Saquon's last year has gone, it makes

142
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 2: me just so happy for him because when you think

143
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 2: about it, and you remember, guys, the Giants let him

144
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 2: test free agency. They didn't make it a priority to

145
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 2: sign him, so they signed Daniel Jones instead of Saquon,

146
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 2: which huge mistake, probably their biggest mistake. Then he signs

147
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 2: with the division rival, has the best season of his career,

148
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 2: and now he's playing in the Super Bowl.

149
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 3: But as he said, that's not the goal. The goal

150
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 3: is always I think there was a lot of people

151
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 3: that were upset at the end of the day that

152
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 3: this was a rematch from two years ago. But what

153
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 3: I keep telling people is that these are different teams

154
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 3: what we saw in twenty twenty two. They even if

155
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 3: I mean some like the Chiefs have a little more

156
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 3: continuity than the Eagles do as far as their roster

157
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 3: and the starters that are on the field, but the

158
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 3: way that they got here is completely different. The way

159
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 3: that they playing is completely different, and the Eagles in particular,

160
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 3: their offense is completely changed, not only because of Saquon Barkley.

161
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 3: They have a new This was the first year under

162
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 3: Kellen Moore as their offensive coordinator, so they had an

163
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 3: offense that was built around Saquon Barkley, also with Jalen

164
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 3: Hurts as part of that rushing attack, which makes everything

165
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 3: so much harder, and then you're doing it all behind.

166
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 3: Still one of the best offensive lines in football. And

167
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 3: then on top of that, the Eagles defense, which is

168
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 3: half Georgia players at this point, yeah, has really come

169
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 3: into their own under Big Fangio. And like this was

170
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 3: after last season there was such a kind of a letdown,

171
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 3: and you know, people were talking about if Nick Sirianni's

172
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 3: on the hot seed and how much every year. Yeah, Well,

173
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 3: that's just Philly. That's just Philly. That's Philly fans. It's

174
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 3: hard to be liked there and it's hard to stay

175
00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 3: like yes, but even into this, like the first of

176
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 3: the season, they were not doing well. At the week

177
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 3: five by and they were at five hundred, and people

178
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 3: were questioning, all right, hey, Nick, you got your coordinators

179
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 3: in here, you got Vic, you got Kellen. This is

180
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 3: supposed to work.

181
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 4: Now, why isn't it?

182
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 3: And since that week five by the Eagles have lost

183
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 3: just one game. But even then, and I was one

184
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 3: of them, I was one of the detractors because I'm conditioned.

185
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 3: My family's from Philly. I'm conditioned to believe the worst.

186
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 3: I was like, the vibes are off still, even when

187
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 3: they were winning, they were things were not going well

188
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 3: in the lockerronays were fighting each other on the sideline

189
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 3: is telling it fans even in wins, and I'm like,

190
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 3: I don't. There's so much that goes into building an

191
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 3: actual super Bowl team and a team that reaches that level,

192
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 3: and so much of it is off of the field,

193
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 3: And it's how much belief you have in yourself, It's

194
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 3: how together you are as a team and a roster

195
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 3: in a locker room. That's not something I saw from

196
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 3: the field Eagles in the beginning of the season and

197
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 3: even at points after that. But down the stretch they

198
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 3: have been just dominant. There's no other word for it.

199
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 3: They've leaned into Saquon Barkley and he is playing unselfish football,

200
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 3: even because and then you have Aj Brown playing unselfish football.

201
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 3: Which it was the biggest question R too, was if

202
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 3: you're going to feature Saquon, is Aja going to be

203
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 3: okay with that? And listen the way that the Philadelphia

204
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 3: Eagles offense is built, where you just it's ground and

205
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 3: pound like ground attack, but then you take your shots

206
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 3: and Jalen Hurts, Kellen Moore, they're so good at picking

207
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 3: their spots and AJ Brown has some of the surest

208
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 3: hands in the NFL. I mean up until the postseason,

209
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 3: really he had like no drops, Yeah he was. He's

210
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 3: so so good at that, and stretching the field so

211
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 3: that the Eagles now have so many different ways to

212
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 3: beat you, so many guys playing on selfish football. And

213
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 3: then if Jalen Hurts is fully healthy, which he should

214
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 3: be with the two weeks rest, yea, he now factors

215
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 3: into the run game. And I don't know how you

216
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 3: stop that as the Kansas City Chiefs defense. But we'll

217
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 3: get to that because.

218
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 4: To do that, Yeah, we're gonna get to that in

219
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:11,959
Speaker 4: a bit.

220
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 2: It's just it's so crazy because I've covered a bunch

221
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 2: of different championship teams across all sports, but every championship

222
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 2: team kind of does the same three things. First, everyone

223
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 2: buys into the leader's goal, whether that's the coach or

224
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 2: the captain, and we're starting to really see that for

225
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 2: the Eagles to come together, we already know that happens

226
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 2: with the Chiefs. They are Ye, yeah, that happens. Number Two,

227
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 2: everyone believes they can win. As you were just talking about,

228
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 2: you have to know that you can get there and

229
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 2: that you can win. We know that's we know that's

230
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 2: the Chiefs model, but we're starting to see that with

231
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 2: the Eagles. And then three, everyone's having fun. There is

232
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 2: a lightness to these championship teams, and we're really starting

233
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 2: to see that with both of these guys. And you

234
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 2: know what, it's so funny because, like, the Eagles have

235
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 2: everything you think it would take to be a super

236
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 2: Bowl team. The only issue is there now facing the

237
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 2: current dynasty that we have in the NFL right now.

238
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 2: And it makes me think of this scene from Talladega

239
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 2: Knights with Ricky, Bobby and Cal when they're talking and

240
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 2: Cal asks him, maybe I can win this one.

241
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 3: It would be really awesome if like you could sling

242
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 3: shot mean.

243
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: For a win.

244
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, but okay, but if you want how am I

245
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 5: gonna win?

246
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: Yeah? Think about it? No, I was thinking about it.

247
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 3: I mean, it's not like you're finished in eighteen roll Silk.

248
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:34,719
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding you, man, I don't want to win.

249
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: I'd just buried down inside the.

250
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 3: Very deep down in there and never bring it up again.

251
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 4: It's painful, and I love you you guys.

252
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes is Ricky Bobby, like there are other great quarterbacks.

253
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 2: It's just hard because you're playing the greatest quarterback of

254
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 2: our time right now.

255
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 3: I mean, but the Chiefs are also chasing something very

256
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 3: specific and they have no incentive. I mean, next year,

257
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 3: maybe they can let somebody else win, but no one

258
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 3: has ever th Reepe did the NFL, so it's an ideal.

259
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 3: That was the main motivation this entire season for the Chiefs,

260
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 3: because at some point or another, you lose a little

261
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 3: bit of juice. But the Chiefs haven't because once they

262
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 3: went back to back. I remember Travis Kelsey saying it

263
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:23,319
Speaker 3: after last year's Super Bowl. Immediately four, he was like,

264
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 3: we want to go for the three pH. We're going

265
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 3: for the three P now like work starts now, yeah,

266
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 3: And I'm like, all right, So this is a team

267
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 3: that knows how to win, is singularly focused, has a

268
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 3: very innovative offensive mind at head coach that continues to

269
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 3: work with the personnel that they have. And then, oh,

270
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 3: by the way, you have the best football player on

271
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 3: the planet playing quarterback for you. The stats won't show it, obviously.

272
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes was not All Pro who's not did not

273
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 3: make any of those individual selections because his stats, quite frankly,

274
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 3: weren't on par with those of Joe Burrow, of Lamar Jackson,

275
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 3: of Josh Allen. It's not even that he doesn't, it's

276
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 3: just he selectively comes through for his team when they

277
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 3: need it most. He's the guy that you can count

278
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 3: on on third down, He's the one that you can

279
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 3: count on in the fourth quarter. He's the one like

280
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 3: the Chiefs played twelve one score games this year, including

281
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 3: and up through last week's AFC Championship, and Patrick Mahomes

282
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 3: is I mean, I'll get to the defense in a second,

283
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 3: but Patrick Mahomes is so much of the reason that

284
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 3: you trust your team to pull those out is because

285
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 3: he comes in extraordinarily clutch. He knows what he can

286
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 3: and can't lean on when it comes to the rest

287
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 3: of the team. And then you see the resurgence as

288
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 3: we have the last few years in the postseason of

289
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 3: his favorite guy, Travis Kelce or like, there are guys

290
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 3: that step in and step up as needed. And then

291
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 3: the defense though, and this is the one thing I

292
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 3: want to get to with the Chiefs. They are the

293
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 3: constant when it comes to the Kansas City Chiefs spags. Yeah,

294
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 3: what he has done with this unit is incredible because

295
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 3: they have not only gotten stars and made stars, they

296
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 3: have developed stars. So if you think back to I

297
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 3: believe the divisional round where it was George car Loftis

298
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 3: who had three sacks for them, It wasn't Chris Jones

299
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 3: that had three sacks, it was George carl Loftis. On

300
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 3: the other side, George carl Loftis was a rookie the

301
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 3: last time they played or they last time they played

302
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 3: the Eagles in the Super Bowl in twenty twenty two.

303
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 3: So you're developing players to them become cornerstones. And another

304
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 3: guy that I want to shout out is Trent McDuffie.

305
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 3: They're now outside corner who moved outside this year after

306
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 3: being All Pro at Nickel last year. Moves outside and

307
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 3: still delivers time and time again. And he comes in.

308
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 3: He was the one that came in on that corner

309
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 3: blitz on that fourth down with Josh Allen in the

310
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 3: AFC Championship game. He came in and he sold it

311
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 3: so well, but Josh had no idea he was coming. Yeah,

312
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 3: and Spags threw that blitz. Like the combination of the

313
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 3: way that Spags can manipulate this scheme, manipulate the front,

314
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 3: knows how to kind of set opponents up for things,

315
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 3: and then has players that have now been with him

316
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 3: for years and developed under him to execute. It's such

317
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 3: a solid unit, and Patrick Mahomes has been the beneficiary

318
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 3: of this consistent, wonderful defense.

319
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 2: He is, but this is also where the Eagles might

320
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 2: have a little edge because their defense is one step above. Like, Yeah,

321
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 2: Chiefs have a great incredible players, people they've developed. They've

322
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 2: grown fourth best and points allowed, ninth best in yards allowed.

323
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 4: But Eagles are second best.

324
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 2: In points allowed and first in yards allowed, the only

325
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 2: team with less than three hundred yards per game.

326
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 4: So we talk a lot about the offense.

327
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 2: Both these teams have obviously the superstars that they have,

328
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 2: but this is a great matchup on defense, sure, on

329
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 2: both on both sides.

330
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 3: And you have again two coordinators that are very familiar

331
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 3: with each other. Vic Fangio Steve Spagnolo, both longtime DC

332
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 3: that are very familiar with each other, very familiar with

333
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 3: each other's scheme and know how to attack it. And

334
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 3: that's going to be the interesting part. And that's going

335
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 3: to be the chess match. To me, that's going to

336
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 3: be the side of the ball worth watching. I mean,

337
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 3: obviously the flashiness goes on offense, Yeah, but the game

338
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 3: is played on defense.

339
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, how are you going to be able to

340
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 2: stop Mahomes? Are you going to be able to stop

341
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 2: Saque Barkley?

342
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 3: Like?

343
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 4: These are like two.

344
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 2: Huge keys to like look out for and watch next Sunday.

345
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 2: I get and again you're watching one of the best,

346
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 2: one of the best coaches of our time in Andy Reid,

347
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 2: who is his whole unit. They've been here before, they

348
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 2: know what to do, They are better once they get

349
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 2: to this position.

350
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 3: And he has I mean, I don't care how many

351
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 3: times they play in the Super Bowl. Andy Reid had

352
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 3: a long career in Philly. Yeah, and got out of there,

353
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 3: and you know there was no love lost in the

354
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 3: initial and now he gets to go back and be

355
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 3: like I'm going for a three pet now and you

356
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 3: let me go bye. Like, you don't get to this

357
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 3: level of coaching if you're if you're not a little petty.

358
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: No.

359
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:08,360
Speaker 3: And so Andy Reid and his bag of tricks on offense.

360
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 3: I cannot wait to see what like they all dream

361
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 3: up and what the players themselves dream up. That's the

362
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 3: biggest thing about the Chiefs too.

363
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 4: The trust in Mahomes.

364
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 3: He can do it.

365
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 4: He can do his own thing.

366
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 6: Not just that.

367
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 3: They literally create plays based on what these players want.

368
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 3: Travis Patrick, all of those guys, Isaiah Pacheco, they can

369
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 3: go to Andy, or they can go to any of

370
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 3: those coaches, their position coach, they're the offensive coordinator, they

371
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 3: can go to them and be like, I think it'd

372
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 3: be fun if we did this. Yeah, and Andy Reid

373
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 3: will figure out a way to make it work.

374
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 1: Oh.

375
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 2: And also, like he was on the Herd this week

376
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 2: and he said he saves his best plays for the

377
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 2: last moment, which is insane. He says be able to

378
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 2: hold on to that. That's true within a game, and

379
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 2: that's true with the season. Yes, because I kept saying

380
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 2: before this postseason started, the Chiefs play a completely different

381
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 2: brand of football in the postseason.

382
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 3: They have a separate playbook for.

383
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 4: The post and even like in the fourth quarter.

384
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 3: It makes it so hard to game plan for them

385
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 3: because they are going to behave in ways as we

386
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 3: saw in the AMC Championship, even on defense with Steve

387
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 3: Spagnolo blitzing on that last play, that was not what

388
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 3: they had done in.

389
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 2: The entire game, which is why they are the current dynasty.

390
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 2: Right now, we're going to take a quick break here,

391
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 2: but when we come back, well, Josh Allen ever be

392
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 2: able to get over the Mahomes playoff hump.

393
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 4: That's an next on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 4: Thank you for spending your Saturday afternoon with.

402
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 3: Bibe.

403
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 4: Right, it's also weird.

404
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 2: It's like the first weekend with no football watch home

405
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 2: and we only have one more and you.

406
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 3: Know, like I was so ready for the season to end,

407
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 3: and then it's like you get this little taste of

408
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 3: like no football, and you're like, well, know what what

409
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 3: am I supposed to do with my life?

410
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 4: Yeah?

411
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 3: Are there hobbies?

412
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 4: What are the other things we're gonna do?

413
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 3: Well? No. I think the reason that I hate it

414
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 3: too is because like I put off everything until after

415
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 3: the season because I'm like, it's a wall season. I

416
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 3: can't do anything. And so now it's like, all right,

417
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 3: I gotta get my teeth cleaned. I got it, Like

418
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 3: I have all my appointments now, and I'm like, oh man,

419
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 3: I had an excuse before, I have no excuse now.

420
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: No.

421
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 2: You know who else has no excuse anymore? Is Josh Allen?

422
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 3: Oh wow? To Josh? Will he ever.

423
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 4: Get over that Mahomes playoff hump?

424
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 2: I it's hard because you thought maybe it was last year,

425
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 2: and then this year it was looking like he is

426
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 2: an MVP favoritey he had all the momentum.

427
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 3: But it's just you.

428
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:49,120
Speaker 2: I mean, he was shaky right out of the gates.

429
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 2: He almost had two turnovers on that first drive. You

430
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 2: heard Tony Romo during the game say, well, that was

431
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 2: nerves right there. Obviously, it went down to the wire,

432
00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 2: even down to the last throw of the game. If

433
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 2: Dalton conc catches that, there's still two minutes left on

434
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 2: like almost two men's left on the clock, and they

435
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 2: were only down by three. Like Josh Allen was good,

436
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 2: but he wasn't great. When you need to be great,

437
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 2: and when you're playing the best, you have to level

438
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 2: up to the best. And I mean the Chief said

439
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 2: an NFL record with that win, winning seventeen street one

440
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 2: score games like it's they are great in the postseason.

441
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:29,360
Speaker 3: I hate this thing because there is more than one

442
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 3: person on a team. Josh Allen played well enough to

443
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 3: win that game in the AFC Championship, Jeff he himself.

444
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 3: It was other people. We need to start framing this

445
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 3: as did the Buffalo Bills do enough? And that answer

446
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 3: is no, Josh Allen himself had a great game. And

447
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 3: that ball to dalon Kin Cage should have been caught.

448
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 3: That was thrown in a place where dalon Kin Kid

449
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 3: could have gotten it. Oh no, it was it. So

450
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 3: I'm not putting that on Josh Allen.

451
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 2: That should have but it should have come down to

452
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 2: like the last play, there were so many other It's always.

453
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 3: Going to when it's those two teams, it's always going

454
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 3: to and This is a team we cannot talk out

455
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 3: of both sides of our mouths. This is just a

456
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 3: general thing that irks me to no end. We cannot

457
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 3: talk out of both sides of our mouth of football.

458
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 3: The NFL is the ultimate team sport versus how many

459
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 3: wins does this quarterback have? Wins are not a quarterback stat.

460
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 2: But winning post saton some of these top quarterbacks is

461
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 2: going to be a knock on their legacy.

462
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 3: It is.

463
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 4: It is what it is.

464
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson and Josh Allens cannot beat Patrick Mahomes and

465
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 2: the Chiefs in the postseason and that is not going

466
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,959
Speaker 2: to and it's going to their legacy.

467
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 3: It's not.

468
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 2: But they are the leaders on the team. When they win,

469
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 2: they get the praise. When they don't, they get it's

470
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 2: they get all the heat.

471
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,719
Speaker 3: Listen. The Buffalo Bills. The thing is about the Buffalo

472
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 3: Bills this year. They were never supposed to be in

473
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 3: the af Josh Allen, no, No, listen, listen. They were never

474
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 3: supposed to be in the AFC champions You're because they

475
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 3: are ahead of where they're supposed to be because the

476
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 3: team itself was not prepared for that moment, because they

477
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 3: weren't supposed to be. Yet they outperformed all expectations. Yes

478
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 3: it is they outperformed all expectations. This season, Josh Allen

479
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 3: willed a team that many had written off before the

480
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 3: season to the AFC Championship Game. There is only so

481
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 3: much one man can do. Josh Allen was an AP

482
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 3: was the second team All Pro this year. He made

483
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 3: a Pro Bowl. It's his third straight being on those lists.

484
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 3: He I don't know what he's gotten better every single year.

485
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 3: I talked to coaches that play and game plan against

486
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 3: Josh Allen, and he scares the ever loving you know

487
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 3: what out of them. There is more to this than

488
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 3: just Josh Allen. And if they had a good offensive line,

489
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 3: their receivers, the receiving corps, tight ends the running backs.

490
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 3: They have gotten to a place by the end of

491
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,679
Speaker 3: the season that is so much more improved than they

492
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 3: were in the beginning. In the beginning, Josh Allen was

493
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 3: single handedly trying to will this team to wins. He

494
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 3: but when it comes to the postseason, you cannot single

495
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 3: handedly do that. You need the help of the team

496
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 3: around you, which Josh Allen did not get. And so

497
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 3: next year I have full faith that the Buffalo Bills

498
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 3: are going to come back stronger. Josh Allen again, every

499
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 3: single year he has gotten better, he gets better next year.

500
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 3: I think that he can overcome any of this because

501
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 3: it's not just Josh Allen overcoming the Kansas City Chiefs.

502
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 3: It's Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills overcoming the Kansas

503
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 3: City Chiefs.

504
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and as of now, they cannot get over that hump.

505
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 2: So let's check in with Martin Wise and see what's trending.

506
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 5: The Baltimore Bannon reported did ad three additional massage therapists

507
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 5: are now accusing Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker is sexually

508
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 5: inappropriate heavior. On Thursday, The Banner reported that six other

509
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 5: massage therapists accus Tucker of sexually inappropriate behavior. That makes nine.

510
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 5: All nine alleged that the misconduct occurred between twenty twelve

511
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 5: and twenty sixteen. Regarding these latest allegations, Tucker's attorney referred

512
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 5: back to Tucker's social media posts on Thursday, in which

513
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 5: he said quote, he did not act inappropriately.

514
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 3: Before, during, or after a treatment session.

515
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 5: Nebraska coach Matt Rules says the Cornhskers will likely cancel

516
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 5: this his season's a spring game in an effort to

517
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 5: keep other schools from seeing his players. After last year's

518
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 5: spring game, six players transferred out of Nebraska. Okay, I

519
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 5: mean he said, look, he's the lost six guys last time.

520
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,360
Speaker 3: Welcome into college football.

521
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 7: Maybe those guy's got a little uh, they got a

522
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 7: little sight of the game plan.

523
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 3: They were like, eh, oh, we're gone.

524
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 5: I mean later, you know, you think you might have

525
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 5: go get some snaps, you end up not. And then

526
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 5: Western Kentucky calls. It's like, you know what, maybe I'll

527
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 5: go And college basketball, Vanderbilt has a forty to thirty

528
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 5: six lead at the half over Oklahoma. Louisville with a

Speaker 3: Back to you, guys, Thank you Martin.

543
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 2: Listen to Fox Football Saturday at Alex Curry here with

544
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 2: Carmen Vitali.

545
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 4: We are broadcasting live from the Tark dot Com studios in.

546
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 2: Los Angeles, and it is time for our first guest.

547
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 2: You know him, We love them, the co host of

548
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 2: Gojo and Golic, your favorite food influencer, Mike Golick Junior.

549
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 8: Perfect timing, guys, I just sat down with a nice

550
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 8: bunch of reasons. I got a Oh my god, remained strong. Dude.

551
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 4: What is this weird ice cream you're getting everyone to try?

552
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 3: Oh?

553
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 4: He brought some over what I've seen it everywhere?

554
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 8: Now I have I Yes, I delivered the goods over

555
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 8: to the household.

556
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: But it's the.

557
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 8: Graters, which is for any when I'm familiar as Cincinnati,

558
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 8: Ohio based ice cream company, the phenomenal ice cream in

559
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 8: their own right. Plenty of great normal flavors for everyone.

560
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 8: But Skyline Chili another collaboration, which it sounds nasty on

561
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 8: the surface. Yeah, but they really just took the cinnamon

562
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 8: based spices and put that into ice cream with the

563
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 8: oyster crackers, so it actually tastes kind of like cinnamon

564
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,120
Speaker 8: toast crunch milk.

565
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 3: And then, yeah, that's fair.

566
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 4: I mean, that's misleading.

567
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 3: You said that much. But no, but then I tried it.

568
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 4: Okay, that's my initial can't I.

569
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 3: Love graders for the record, I do not want to

570
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 3: be smirched the good names. Yeah, graders ice cream. But Mike,

571
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 3: I'm continuing over but a segment we just did where

572
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 3: we're arguing back and forth one question for you or

573
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 3: whin's the quarterback.

574
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 8: Stat No, they are not, I understand. So I do

575
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 8: not believe that wins are our quarterbacks. That at the

576
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 8: same time, I understand that the position has an outsized

577
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 8: impact on winning relative to the rest of the roster.

578
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 8: But no, we should not simply label that under them

579
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 8: blame or on the other side the outsized amount of credit.

580
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 8: We tend to get that.

581
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 2: Okay, that was about Josh Allen not being able to

582
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 2: get over the Patrick Mahomes chiefs. Huh, but let's talk

583
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,919
Speaker 2: about the chiefs, right, now because they're on the verge

584
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 2: of history, a chance to complete the first three peat

585
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl era. Did you have any doubt

586
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 2: that this team was going to get here and have

587
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 2: a shot at the three p or did you believe

588
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 2: that they could get here?

589
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 8: I believe. I mean, they were my pick before the

590
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 8: season to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. But

591
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 8: along the way, yeah, I had plenty of doubts because

592
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 8: I think, like the rest of us, I saw a

593
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 8: team that once again was imperfect during the regular season

594
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 8: relative to its own gross standard. And while we saw

595
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 8: what that produced, which was a record that would be

596
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 8: the NBA, most of the rest of the league, it

597
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 8: was kind of like the Eagles last year, where hey,

598
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 8: they were Kenny won to start the season, but it

599
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 8: didn't quite feel the same way and some of the

600
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 8: underlying stuff didn't feel the same. So I believed that

601
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 8: they could win it at the start of the season.

602
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 8: Along the way, it was a bit of a journey,

603
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 8: But then we saw time and time again, and I

604
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 8: think the defining trade of this team has poisoned big

605
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,640
Speaker 8: moments and that's why they're back on Super Bowl Sunday.

606
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'd love that you brought up the Eagles

607
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 3: last year too, because there were remnants of last year's

608
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 3: issues again this year, even with the new coordinators and

609
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 3: all of the talent that they have bringing in Saquon Barkley,

610
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 3: all that other stuff, like the vibes weren't great in

611
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 3: Philly for a large part of this season to where

612
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 3: I doubted that they would be in this position. But

613
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 3: down the stretch they've gotten just I mean, they've been

614
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 3: nothing short of dominant. Do they have the opportunity now?

615
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 3: Are they together enough? Do they have all of the

616
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 3: intangibles to then knock off the Chiefs in this game, like,

617
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 3: you know, preventing them from getting this three pet that

618
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 3: they're so aggressively after.

619
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, I absolutely think the Eagles are a talented enough

620
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 8: and confident enough football team on both sides of the ball.

621
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 8: I've said all year long, Philly makes football simple, right

622
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 8: when you can hand the ball off as much as

623
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 8: they do, when the offensive liner road graders and the

624
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 8: quarterbacks got enough juice in the run game to give

625
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 8: you that hold on the backside, and defensively very simple

626
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 8: they can rush for Their linebackers, led by Zak Baond

627
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 8: have been.

628
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 3: A massive improval absolute un Oh.

629
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 8: It's I mean and Karl, thinking about last year, the

630
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 8: knock on the Eagles was, hey, linebacker and secondary got

631
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 8: so beat up they couldn't function at the end of

632
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 8: the season. And so what do they do. They went

633
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 8: out here and got dag Vaughn. They got to Kobe

634
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 8: Dan to play better while he was healthy, and then

635
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 8: in the secondary they drafted Cooper dejen and Quinnon Mitchell

636
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 8: and the rest was history. So they've gotten really, really

637
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 8: strong in all the areas they were weakened last year

638
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 8: then ended up snake fighting them. So they've absolutely got

639
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 8: a chance. It's going to be interesting now as we

640
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 8: get closer to the game and start to analyze the

641
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 8: matchups that are really going to swing the balance of

642
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 8: this The one that jumped right off the page to

643
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 8: me are on both sides of the lines of scrimmage.

644
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 8: One for Philadelphia, what does the health of that interior

645
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 8: offensive line look like? You had Cam Jurgen not starting

646
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 8: the last game, who had been the replacement for Jason

647
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 8: Kelsey all year long, and then by the end of

648
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 8: the game Landon Dickerson who had been into place of him,

649
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 8: their star left guard. Now, all of a sudden playing

650
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 8: in what looked like a severe amount of pain with

651
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 8: that knee injury, getting ready to go up against Chris Jones,

652
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 8: arguably one of the best defensive line closers in NFL

653
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 8: postseason history. And then on the other side, can they

654
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 8: generate enough pressure on the perimeter against the spot that's

655
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 8: in the weakness for the Chiefs offensive line. You've got

656
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 8: Joe Tooney playing left tackle for God says it. Lets

657
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 8: you know how the tackle situation's been there, but no

658
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 8: one Smith's played good during the postseason. Him and Josh

659
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 8: Wet they might get you know, a grand back for

660
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 8: this super will run. But besides that, that's the area

661
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 8: where I wonder, Okay, is this just gonna be a

662
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 8: spot where unfortunately they line up in the worst way

663
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 8: possible with what the seats actually do best.

664
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 2: At this point, Well, let's talk about the Eagles still here,

665
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 2: because Seguon Barkley has been a difference maker for them,

666
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 2: having one of the best running back seasons we have seen.

667
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 2: How much of a key is he going to be

668
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 2: for the Eagles to get this upset win?

669
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 8: Very massive? And I think he's another question coming off

670
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 8: that last game, dealing with a little bit of the

671
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 8: cap injury against Washington that we saw getting bumped out

672
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 8: on the sideline the hallmark of his game, even this

673
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 8: year where he finally got the guys in front of

674
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 8: him to go out and achieve his full potential with

675
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 8: Sekuon Barkley. Difference is, hey, when you're the offensive line,

676
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 8: our job in the offensive line room was always we

677
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 8: got to get the running back to that guy in

678
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 8: the second or third level, and then he's going to

679
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 8: block that guy. We always said, he's going to make

680
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 8: a guy missak One does that better than anybody in

681
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 8: the league. He erased the tackling angles. He makes guys

682
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 8: miss the point of attack and he can hit that

683
00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 8: home run. So if that's inhibited at all, that's a worry.

684
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 8: But no, he's a huge part of what the Eagles

685
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 8: want to do. They have got one of the most

686
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 8: lopsided run pass ratios in favor of running the football

687
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 8: anyone in the NFL. And we know the story has been,

688
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 8: hey can they win coming from behind? If Kansas City

689
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 8: were able to get out to a hot start in

690
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 8: this game, history two years ago would say, well, yeah,

691
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 8: they can win in a shootout if you need to.

692
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 8: Aj Brown, who looked incredible in the NFC Championship. One

693
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 8: of the big stories there, Jalen Hurts in the performance

694
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 8: two years ago in the Super Bowl. They're all in there.

695
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 8: We just haven't seen it a lot recently. And when

696
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 8: Prescott it. Yeah, the Eagles have shown us a confident

697
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 8: passing game this year, and Jalen Hurts has got to

698
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 8: put on the kangle and go up to the press

699
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 8: conference and give us the short answers and make us

700
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 8: all feel dumb. But he need no way to be

701
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 8: in this pivotal moment against the guy in Steve Spagnola,

702
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 8: who is the best bet smoke game plan designer in

703
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 8: postseason defensive history. That's a tall order and something that

704
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 8: I'm going to be very interested to see come next Sunday.

705
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 3: Michael, You're going to be in New Orleans all week?

706
00:32:55,000 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 3: What is what is the number one priority on the agenda?

707
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 3: I want to get there?

708
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,200

712
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 8: out to New Orleans actually a couple of weeks ago

713
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 8: early and do a little trial run of some good

714
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 8: eats around the area that'll be coming out here. A

715
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 8: little partnership with us and Tom's. We got a little

716
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 8: sort of like fan versus food, ask dark diners, drive

717
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 8: ins and dives that tour some New Orleans deeps and

718
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 8: so I'm going to go back to a couple of

719
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 8: my favorite spots there. Check that out. Start the day

721
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 8: over to Brennan's and do you know a little bananas

722
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 8: Foster or something like that. Keep it light, keep it moving,

723
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 8: and get a lot of steps in out there because

724
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 8: everything's close. But my goal is to eat as much

725
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 8: as I can for as long as I can until

726
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:48,880

762
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,680

763
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 3: but like tropical house.

764
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 2: All right, guys, it's time for the dues and downs

00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 4: The subject brings me no joy.

768
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 3: That's insane.

769
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 1: It's time for the dues and the don'ts in sports.

770
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm starting here with the d do be yourself.

771
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 2: And this is this is kind of like a double

772
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 2: for Philly, their fans and their players. First, the fans

773
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 2: once again taking over the streets in downtown Philly, climb

774
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 2: into grease poles after they won the Conference championship and

775
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 2: were headed to the Super Bowl. And I got to

776
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:10,320
Speaker 2: witness this in real life when I was covering the

777
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 2: Phillies in the World Series, and it is beautiful chaos

778
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,439
Speaker 2: down there. These are aggressively passionate fans. I love them,

779
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 2: and I love to see this tradition like keep going.

780
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:28,240
Speaker 2: And then the players, Oh Eagles Jordan H. My Latta

781
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 2: during the NFC championship game, was talking trash to the commanders.

782
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 3: He's the Australian, so you have to think of this

783
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 3: in an Australian.

784
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:41,240
Speaker 2: Australian accredible, and he was caught on Mike quoting Baines

785
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 2: talking to the commanders. I was wondering what would break first,

786
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 2: you have spirit or your body and that.

787
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:52,720
Speaker 3: He quotes like so many different things and trash talk beautiful.

788
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 2: That's that's the kind of trash talk I want to see,

789
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 2: like be yourself, like be weirds so beautiful.

790
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 3: A giant, like huge Australian man, I know. And like

791
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:05,839
Speaker 3: he's not mean about it either. He's like laughing as

792
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 3: saying this stuff. It's hysterical. I might be my favorite

793
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,319
Speaker 3: player in the league. It was Jason Kelsey and now

794
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 3: it just shipped over over the line to Jordani Lata.

795
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 3: I have another. I have an Eagles one as well.

796
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 3: I do do think outside the box with your fans

797
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 3: support A Philadelphia mother momay she brought her own holy

00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 3: blessed the Link and the players and all of that.

800
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,800
Speaker 3: And again, I like I said, I my dad's family

804
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 3: this is so quintessentially Philadelphia. Kylie Kelsey talked about it

805
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 3: on her podcast. That's how I found out about it.

806
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 3: And this woman took her own holy water and just

807
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 3: blessed the link and she's like, and it's the holy water.

808
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,320
Speaker 3: It was holy water. Yeah, they're my best Philly accent.

809
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,280
Speaker 3: Can you tell I grew up around him. It's it's phenomenal.

810
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 3: It's so perfect because it's like the really heavily Catholic,

Speaker 2: The Dodgers have been putting in the work given back

817
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:37,240
Speaker 2: to the LA community since the fire disasters. The Dodgers

818

Speaker 2: stop that they made.

824
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 4: And then Magic Johnson on top of it.

825
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 2: Obviously he's involved with the Dodgers and every big Lakers.

826
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,040

Speaker 4: And it's just these like little.

836
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 2: Stories that just keep coming out that give you faith

837
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 2: in humanity right now, like in the midst.

841
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,759

845
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,800
Speaker 3: you said you were zero tolerance when the Deshaun Watson

Speaker 2: Please real quick and on a high note, don't try

849
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 2: to do it all. Patrick Mahomes tried to spike the

850
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 2: ball after his touchdown, and uh, he tweeted, I also apologize.

851
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:17,920

875
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 2: fun games that both Bosa brothers competing, but like speed

876
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 2: walking in that relay race instead of running was really hilarious.

877
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson catching with the mascot gloves, doing everything in

878
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,720
Speaker 2: his glasses, not diving catch.

879
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,760
Speaker 3: How how do you level the playing field with Justin Jefferson?

880
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 2: You give a mask? Hilarious and then dodgeball. I think

881
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 2: that was my fave, Probably not Brian Branch's fave.

882
00:41:55,200 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 4: Uh definitely did not dodge a ball. Got uh yeah.

883
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 3: Like Brian Branches. It was actually kind of surprising because

884
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:08,839
Speaker 3: he's been such a bulldog all season. Hilarious. Yeah, he's

885
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,879
Speaker 3: been egging on all the opponents, especially within the NFC North.

886
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 3: He flipped off Packer fans as he got ejected from

887
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 3: a game. Oh he's fabulous. I absolutely adore Brian Branch.

888
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:21,800
Speaker 3: Please please understand I'm saying this, like with the s

889
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 3: is complimentary. He's phenomenal. I love him. I expected him

890
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 3: to come out with a little bit more tenacity. Yeah

891
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 3: that was That was hilarious.

892
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 2: Tomorrow we got another relay race, Pump Perfect, Tug of War,

893
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 2: and then the flag football game the Seven on seven.

894
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 4: What are your thoughts on Probow weekend?

895
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 3: It's hard because like I think, like the skills competition

896
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 3: is kind of fun, Like I like I always tuned

897
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:52,879
Speaker 3: in for those regardless, Yeah, I do think that if

898
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 3: there's no real line, like then yeah, give him a

899
00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:59,399
Speaker 3: flag football game because like in some All Star games,

900
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 3: like you get like I believe it's baseball right where

901
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 3: you guys, it's not anymore.

902
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 4: That was the only one that really held any which.

903
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 3: I always thought you can't say because like this is

904
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 3: supposed to be a fun exhibition thing. Why is there

905
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 3: something like home field advantage on the line.

906
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, for the for the World Series.

907
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 3: So yeah, that was like, if there's nothing else on

908
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 3: the line.

909
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, let them not fun. Yeah, I mean, it's supposed

910
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 4: to be fun.

911
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 2: It's an interactive experience for the players and fans.

912
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 4: Like that's just what it is. And when you go in,

913
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 4: I love it's like I love seeing Pro Bowl micd ups.

914
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, because like everybody's so loose and they're just like

915
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:34,360
Speaker 3: having fun and they're not really doing much and like whatever.

916
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 3: Like I saw a picture that the Buccaneers posted to

917
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 3: of like Mike Evans and Tests and works are in

918
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 3: the pool with their kids like splash around. I'm just like,

919
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 3: this is.

920
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 4: So they're having a good time. Yeah, all right.

921
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:49,760
Speaker 2: Well guys, well, well, well, coaching seats have been filled

922
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 2: most of them. There is only one coaching job left

923
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 2: available in the NFL. It's the Saints, and rumors are

924
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 2: they want Kellen Moore, Eagles offensive coordinator. Obviously, he can't

925
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:02,800
Speaker 2: be hired till the season is done. But we're gonna

926
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 2: go through and we're gonna kind of talk about the

927
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 2: new matches. But before we get to all the new jobs,

928
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 2: can I just am a little shock that Mike McCarthy

929
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 2: didn't land a job. He withdrew his name from the Saints'

930
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 2: coaching search once the other jobs were filled.

931
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 4: But I thought he would have been a hotter higher.

932
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 2: Obviously, the Cowboys and Mike McCarthy could not agree on

933
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:26,800
Speaker 2: the length of his contract so mutually decided to split.

934
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,879
Speaker 2: And it's looking like a lose lose for both sides

935
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:30,359
Speaker 2: right now.

936
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, this is what happened to Mike McCarthy

937
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 3: last time. Before he got the Cowboys job. Apragreen Bay

938
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 3: took a year off, then got hired by the Dallas Cowboys.

939
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:44,879
Speaker 3: I don't know that that's gonna happen a second time around, necessarily.

940
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 3: It's interesting though, because initially my first thought was, like,

941
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 3: because I look at a guy like Mike Brabel, yeah,

942
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 3: who was quote unquote out of coaching. He was like

943
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 3: a senior consultant for the Browns this year, but like

944
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 3: got fired in Tennessee, Yeah, and then didn't get another

945
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:02,840
Speaker 3: head job immediately that cycle and was a consultant, you know,

946
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 3: did his own thing for this season, and then he

947
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 3: came back and like, the pairing with the Patriots was

948
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 3: perfect in so many ways, even though I don't think

949
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 3: that Gerard Mayo got a fair shaked at all, but

950
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:18,799
Speaker 3: that made sense. But even even without the Patriots job,

951
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,880
Speaker 3: Rabel was I mean, he interviewed with the Bears. He

952
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 3: interviewed with so many different he was a candidate. I

953
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 3: think that there's benefit to you know, some time away.

954
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 3: It's like it's the same thing with like a relationship, right,

955
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 3: It's like you you take a break and you're like,

956
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 3: do I really want to be with that? And then

957
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 3: you realize after you're without them for a while, like

958
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:38,799
Speaker 3: you don't know what you had until it's gone. And

959
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 3: then you also realize, like with a guy like Rabel,

960
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 3: how dysfunctional the Titans were and are still, and you're like, oh,

961
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:46,720
Speaker 3: none of that was Rabel's fault, was it. He's actually

962
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 3: still a good coach, So like I want to say

963
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 3: something like that would happen with Mike McCarthy, but it's

964
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 3: already happened like that for him, So maybe he's just done,

965
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 3: and maybe, like I would like him to go out

966
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 3: on his own terms, because I think he is a

967
00:45:57,960 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 3: really really good coach as someone who grew up a

968
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 3: Bears fan and had to watch her team go against

969
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy's Packers the path of Yeah, and he won

970
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 3: a Super Bowl in Green Bay, Like did all those

971
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 3: developed Aaron Rodgers, all of that kind of stuff. I

972
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:15,279
Speaker 3: think he's a great coach. I think he deserves to

973
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 3: go out on his own. I would love to see

974
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:18,800
Speaker 3: him be like, you know what I'm done. I'm retiring

975
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 3: interesting and that's it. Yeah, right up into the sunset.

976
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 3: You mad En up money. You've got a street named

977
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:24,359
Speaker 3: after you up in.

978
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 4: Green Bay, Like he's got a Super Bowl?

979
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 3: Well, what else do you have to prove, Mike?

980
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:30,919
Speaker 4: Maybe he just still loves it.

981
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 3: It's a hard thing to give up. It's a hard

982
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 3: thing to give up.

983
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 2: So let's talk about the Cowboys, because there was a

984
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:38,400
Speaker 2: lot of rumors that they might hire Dion Sanders. I

985
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 2: was like, that felt exciting, right, and then you go

986
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:45,799
Speaker 2: and you hire your offensive coordinator, Brian Schotttheimer, and it

987
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 2: just it felt like, oh, it felt a little deflating.

988
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 2: You were the biggest brand in professional sports. It felt

989
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 2: like you needed to go out there and make a

990
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 2: big splash and it didn't.

991
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 4: And it's kind of on brand with the last.

992
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 2: Decades of the Cowboys saying you're gonna go do something

993
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 2: big and this big change and then you just don't.

994
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:09,720
Speaker 3: I talked about this on the NFL on Fox podcast

995
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:13,879
Speaker 3: this week with Dave Hellman, I think that Brian Schottenheimer

996
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:16,280
Speaker 3: is a good coach. He's been coaching for twenty years.

997
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 3: He's like, sometimes there are perks to being an EPO

998
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 3: baby outside of just getting jobs. It's that you've grown

999
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,399
Speaker 3: up around this. Yeah, he in life, and he's called

1000
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 3: plays before, albeit not in a while. All of that

1001
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 3: kind of stuff. It leads me to believe that he

1002
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:33,240
Speaker 3: absolutely should get a shot at being a head coach. Yeah,

1003
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 3: that's not the issue to me. No, the issue is

1004
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 3: this reeks of an organization without a plan. Yes, and

1005
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:46,240
Speaker 3: for you to be the Dallas Goddang cowboy.

1006
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 4: The biggest and sane psion.

1007
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 3: Your owner slash GM to say we're all in, we

1008
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:54,800
Speaker 3: want the best of the best. We're a first star organization.

1009
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 3: We're the face of the league. Act like it.

1010
00:47:57,640 --> 00:47:58,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, nothing, This.

1011
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 3: Is not acting like you are the face of the league.

1012
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 3: You were not. You didn't have any sort of plan. Basically,

1013
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 3: you were like, oh, it's not working out with Mike, Shoot, okay,

1014
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 3: what can we do well?

1015
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:11,839
Speaker 4: Next guy up?

1016
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 3: And by that point you were already behind the eight ball. Yeah, Like,

1017
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 3: if you are that good of an organization, you are

1018
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:21,400
Speaker 3: thinking two, three, four, five years down the line, they.

1019
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 2: Just let McCarthy's deal expire, and they blocked him by

1020
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,600
Speaker 2: the way from having other interviews before that happened.

1021
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 3: And I get the negotiations break down and all of

1022
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 3: that kind of stuff, but this is what they do

1023
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:35,439
Speaker 3: time and again, whether it's with a coach, whether it's

1024
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:39,239
Speaker 3: with players. We see them get backed into corners constantly

1025
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 3: with these contracts. That's why Dak Prescott has a no

1026
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:44,400
Speaker 3: trade clause. That's why he's the highest paid quarterback in

1027
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 3: the league, because you have no choice by the time.

1028
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:50,400
Speaker 3: By the time you would negotiate with these guys, the

1029
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 3: Dallas Cowboys are out of leverage. And I'm not one

1030
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:56,320
Speaker 3: to like come to the defensive organizations. I'm not trying

1031
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 3: to do that. But if you're gonna call yourself the

1032
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 3: best organization in the end fell and the face of

1033
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 3: the league, you need to act like it. And this

1034
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 3: is not acting like it.

1035
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 1: Now.

1036
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:10,279
Speaker 3: I hope Brian Schottenheimer is. I think he can be good.

1037
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,840
Speaker 3: I think this could be a net good, but it

1038
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 3: will be because the Cowboys fell backwards into it. It will

1039
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:19,920
Speaker 3: be in spite of leadership, not because of leadership.

1040
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:23,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't want to compare it to like a

1041
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 2: brock party situation. But it was like almost like you

1042
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:29,439
Speaker 2: kind of have this this talent in the room that

1043
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 2: you haven't you have it, like shine a light on. Yeah,

1044
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 2: and it's like, oh wow, Okay, this actually worked out

1045
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:34,879
Speaker 2: really well.

1046
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 4: We didn't mean for it too.

1047
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 3: But that's exactly where I got Dak Prescott and Tony

1048
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 3: Romo before.

1049
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:41,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, Dak Prescott was a fourth round pick.

1050
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were like, yeah, this kid from Mississippi State,

1051
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 3: Eric's okay, let's try him. And then Tony Romo gets hurt,

1052
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:51,280
Speaker 3: Dak goes in there and low and bold in credible quarterback.

1053
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 3: But that's not like that has everything to do with

1054
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 3: like the evaluators at that level of the organization and

1055
00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:00,439
Speaker 3: nothing to do with Jerry and Stephen Jones. And it's

1056
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 3: just like they luck in, like any success they have

1057
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 3: they luck into, and that's why they haven't had success

1058
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:06,319
Speaker 3: in thirty years.

1059
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:08,400
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, Cowboys fans. I'm just going to say I

1060
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 4: know what I hold her.

1061
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:13,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, you really do, and and I hope it works

1062
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 2: out and you know.

1063
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:17,800
Speaker 3: Some yeah, I really I really think.

1064
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 2: It's it's deflating and I and everyone feels for you,

1065
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 2: and everyone knows that everyone feels that, Okay, let's move

1066
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 2: on to the Bears, because they got it right. They

1067
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:29,280
Speaker 2: got their guy, hiring Lion's former offensive coordinator Ben Johnson.

1068
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 2: He was the hottest name on the market and they

1069
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 2: still stunned.

1070
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 3: I love this so I saw it.

1071
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 4: I love it so much.

1072
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:40,600
Speaker 2: This was like what you were hoping they were going

1073
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:43,720
Speaker 2: to do. This was such a make or break higher

1074
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:48,319
Speaker 2: not only for the Bears franchise, but Caleb Williams and

1075
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:51,400
Speaker 2: his future. And the question is now, how will he

1076
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:54,080
Speaker 2: translate into a head coach. I know there's a lot

1077
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:57,280
Speaker 2: of excitement from Caleb from Ben. You were in the building, Carmen,

1078
00:50:57,320 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 2: we were at the presser. Take us into that room.

1079
00:50:59,600 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 3: What it was?

1080
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:02,279
Speaker 4: What is the mood in that building right now?

1081
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 3: It was hope. The biggest thing that stuck out to

1082
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 3: me was we had so Ben Johnson came to the podium.

1083
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:10,280
Speaker 3: He commanded the room very very well. He spoke directly

1084
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 3: to the players. When he was both speaking directly to

1085
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:14,400
Speaker 3: the players and the players in attendance, it was Kayler Williams,

1086
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 3: DJ Moore, Romadunze, Cole Comet all in the front row.

1087
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:19,200
Speaker 3: Three of the four of them came from other places

1088
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 3: to be there, like they weren't in Chicago and they

1089
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 3: came to be there. But something that owner George McCaskey said,

1090
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 3: and the scrum that we had afterwards with him was

1091
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:30,480
Speaker 3: essentially like how this all came together because the Bears

1092
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:33,399
Speaker 3: wasted no time, the Lions lost, and then two days

1093
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 3: later it was they're getting Ben Johnson. Apparently George McCaskey

1094
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:39,880
Speaker 3: was just like Ryan Poles came to him, was like,

1095
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:41,360
Speaker 3: this is the guy we want, and he said, go

1096
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:45,440
Speaker 3: get him. That is so far and away, so far

1097
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:47,360
Speaker 3: and away from anything I've seen out of this organization.

1098
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:49,000
Speaker 3: And again, I grew up in Chicago, I grew up

1099
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 3: a giant Bear sand I have been in tune with

1100
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 3: this organization for now over three decades. I have never

1101
00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:59,359
Speaker 3: seen them act like this before. And this was the

1102
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:02,360
Speaker 3: most defensible higher that the Bears could have made, because

1103
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:04,880
Speaker 3: even if, yeah, it ultimately does.

1104
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:06,320
Speaker 4: Not work out, this was the best option.

1105
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:10,160
Speaker 3: This you cannot deny. This was the inarguable best move

1106
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:13,320
Speaker 3: they could have made at the time. And so it

1107
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:15,840
Speaker 3: insulates you. And like, that's what I was begging the

1108
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:18,920
Speaker 3: Bears to understand for all of those years, was like

1109
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 3: if you just make the best hire. No, it's not

1110
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:25,799
Speaker 3: a guarantee it works out, No, but at least you

1111
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:29,799
Speaker 3: can now defend yourself and defend your decisions. Yeah, and

1112
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:33,799
Speaker 3: people aren't going to hold that against you because this

1113
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:35,919
Speaker 3: was what with the information you had at the time,

1114
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:38,360
Speaker 3: this was the best choice. And what I love though

1115
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:40,719
Speaker 3: about what Ben Johnson is now doing is I think

1116
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 3: so much of the pitfalls of first time head coaches

1117
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:46,600
Speaker 3: come with not getting the right guys underneath them. And

1118
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:49,319
Speaker 3: Ben Johnson told us so. We had a breakout room

1119
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 3: with him after the podium where we got to just

1120
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:53,399
Speaker 3: kind of sit around and ask questions and talk to him.

1121
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:55,479
Speaker 3: He told us that he was going to start working

1122
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:58,279
Speaker 3: on his staff that afternoon that he got and he did.

1123
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:00,760
Speaker 3: He did. I heard from other coaches that he reached

1124
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 3: out to some guys that didn't even end up on

1125
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 3: their stat on his staff. But he was actively at

1126
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:09,320
Speaker 3: work as soon as he was done with his media circuit.

1127
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:14,880
Speaker 3: And he now has Dennis Allen, former head coach, defensive

1128
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:17,920
Speaker 3: coordinator of my nightmares when I was with the Buccaneers,

1129
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 3: because he was with the Saints incredible like top ten

1130
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 3: defenses year in and year out. He took them from

1131
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:27,200
Speaker 3: like bottom of the league and scoring defense to number four.

1132
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:28,759
Speaker 3: I believe in two one to twenty twenty one is

1133
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:32,240
Speaker 3: where he peaked as a defensive coordinator. Yes, it hasn't

1134
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:34,440
Speaker 3: totally worked out with him as a head coach, but

1135
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 3: he has that experience and he knows what not to do,

1136
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:39,320
Speaker 3: and so that's going to be an asset for Ben Johnson.

1137
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:42,840
Speaker 3: Continuity with Richard high Tower as the special teams coordinator,

1138
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:44,920
Speaker 3: and then you're getting all of these guys. He got

1139
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 3: a couple guys. My guy Antoine Randall Al is coming

1140
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:52,400
Speaker 3: with Ben Johnson from Detroit. Ella is from Chicago, Indiana quarterback,

1141
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:55,839
Speaker 3: wide receiver, do it all offensive player. He's an incredible guy,

1142
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 3: an incredible coach, and he is now going to be

1143
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:00,359
Speaker 3: an associate head coach, so he's going to be there

1144
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:02,359
Speaker 3: in support of Ben Johnson. I just I can't stay

1145
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:06,279
Speaker 3: up about how good this looks. And yet I am

1146
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:08,480
Speaker 3: still going to preach what I preached last year, which

1147
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:13,319
Speaker 3: was bring your expectations, just be patient. It is still

1148
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:17,480
Speaker 3: a complete overhaul between staff scheme. There's gonna be changes

1149
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 3: to the roster that you might not be able to

1150
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 3: make all of them. In one off season, just relax

1151
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 3: your expectations and enjoy the ride Chicago.

1152
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 2: I will say though, I again like this was, as

1153
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:32,880
Speaker 2: you said, the right call, but the excitement from the

1154
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:38,400
Speaker 2: players and your main player, Caleb william actually talked during

1155
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:39,319
Speaker 2: that presser as well.

1156
00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 6: I was dropping on the highway and I don't know

1157
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:43,719
Speaker 6: if it was safe or not, but I gave out

1158
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:47,080
Speaker 6: a loud yell and scream of just you know, excitement

1159
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:49,480
Speaker 6: of just you know, brings a bunch of clarity. It's

1160
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:51,279
Speaker 6: the off season. It brings a bunch of different things

1161
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:53,759
Speaker 6: to the off season, and I'm really excited about you know,

1162
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:56,319
Speaker 6: obviously the Bears and now this ORG and being able

1163
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:58,280
Speaker 6: to you know, make this happen and keep Ben Johnson

1164
00:54:58,280 --> 00:54:59,359
Speaker 6: as our coach for a long time.

1165
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:00,920
Speaker 4: I mean, that's difference maker right there.

1166
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:03,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, in that screen, I believe I heard words like

1167
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 3: because I was, I was in that way we talked

1168
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:08,200
Speaker 3: to Kala two. I heard words like he talked about

1169
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:12,920
Speaker 3: how this brings clarity, yes, structure, accountability, all of the

1170
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 3: things that we heard Bears players say all last season

1171
00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 3: that they wanted out of their coaching staff that they

1172
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 3: did not get. And Ben Johnson then got to the

1173
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:23,680
Speaker 3: podium and even in the breakout session with him, talked

1174
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:27,399
Speaker 3: about accountability structure He's going. He told me he's going

1175
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:32,360
Speaker 3: to have a plan for each individual player as to

1176
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:34,680
Speaker 3: what they can improve on. And it's not just about

1177
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:38,680
Speaker 3: exploiting their strengths. To him, it's about raising their floor.

1178
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:41,919
Speaker 3: And that's something that I really loved when he spoke

1179
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:45,520
Speaker 3: to us directly. And that means that if you're not

1180
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:49,839
Speaker 3: following that plan that each individual player has, yeah, you're

1181
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 3: going to be held accountable. Good And Ben Johnson said

1182
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:54,680
Speaker 3: that at the podium too, and he said it directly

1183
00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:57,239
Speaker 3: to the players. He's like, there's going to be there

1184
00:55:57,239 --> 00:56:00,000
Speaker 3: are going to be consequences. Did and I'm like, Yeah,

1185
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:02,880
Speaker 3: these guys wanted to be coached hard. Yes, Ben Johnson's

1186
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 3: going to coach hard. I love that for them. I

1187
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:04,960
Speaker 3: did too.

1188
00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:05,959
Speaker 4: I love that for them.

1189
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 2: A couple other big hires to run out of time

1190
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:11,080
Speaker 2: here Raiders hiring Pete Carroll. I think this is a

1191
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:13,000
Speaker 2: great hire. This is a man that knows how to win.

1192
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:14,759
Speaker 2: He won a super Bowl, the Seahawks national title with

1193
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 2: SC He's no over having a strong defense. Those offensive

1194
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:21,360
Speaker 2: coordinator hire is going to be a big deal. But

1195
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:23,279
Speaker 2: like they also like he's going to be able to

1196
00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:26,279
Speaker 2: build hopefully be able to build a team that like

1197
00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:28,359
Speaker 2: he wants. They still need a franchise quarterback, a big

1198
00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 2: wide receiver. After trading away Devonte Adams, they had like

1199
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:32,719
Speaker 2: running back by committee, so they're going to need like

1200
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:35,160
Speaker 2: a strong guy back there. They do have their superstar

1201
00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:38,440
Speaker 2: tight end in Brock Bauers and defensive end Max Crosby,

1202
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:41,600
Speaker 2: so you have some pieces, but there are a lot

1203
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:42,359
Speaker 2: of the.

1204
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:44,600
Speaker 3: Biggest thing that I loved about this too was that

1205
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 3: they paired Pete Carroll Carroll with a first time GM

1206
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:50,840
Speaker 3: in John Spytech, because Pete Carroll had personal control in Seattle,

1207
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:52,560
Speaker 3: so you want to kind of bridge that. You don't

1208
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:54,360
Speaker 3: want him necessarily to have to do all of that

1209
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:56,720
Speaker 3: because I think in today's NFL that's so so hard.

1210
00:56:57,160 --> 00:56:59,840
Speaker 3: But John Spytech is the right was the right hand man.

1211
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:02,280
Speaker 3: Jason Light in Tampa, a good friend of mine, shout

1212
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:06,760
Speaker 3: out Spy that the entire spy Tech family just incredible people.

1213
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:08,920
Speaker 3: But also the biggest thing about Spy is that he

1214
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:12,799
Speaker 3: is an incredible evaluator, and so he's he's been able

1215
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:14,839
Speaker 3: to hit him and Jason light. That staff has been

1216
00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:16,400
Speaker 3: able to hit on so many different guys in the

1217
00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:18,520
Speaker 3: later rounds of the draft. Yeah, and that's something that

1218
00:57:18,560 --> 00:57:20,480
Speaker 3: the Raiders are going to need because you need so

1219
00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:24,720
Speaker 3: many spy is your guy, guys, Like, if you're listening

1220
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:27,080
Speaker 3: from Vegas, you guys got a good one, a great one.

1221
00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:28,800
Speaker 3: I am so excited for Johns.

1222
00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:30,760
Speaker 2: They currently hold the number six overall pick in the

1223
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:33,280
Speaker 2: TWENTFL draft. But they got to get creative because they

1224
00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:34,720
Speaker 2: need a lot of pieces exactly, and they need their

1225
00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 2: franchise quarterback. So that's going to be interesting. The other

1226
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:41,919
Speaker 2: three big hires Patriots, we talked about Mike Rabol, great hired,

1227
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:42,680
Speaker 2: that's the right fit.

1228
00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:44,720
Speaker 4: Jets. Aaron Glenn.

1229
00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:46,960
Speaker 3: I'm so pumped for Aaron Glenn. Yeah, and the Jets

1230
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:50,080
Speaker 3: player drafted by the Jets, first round pick by the Jets,

1231
00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:54,160
Speaker 3: all pro with the Jets. Yeah. I and anybody who

1232
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:56,200
Speaker 3: has played for Aaron Glenn, Guys I have talked to.

1233
00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:58,320
Speaker 3: I've talked directly to Aaron Glenn, and I wanted to

1234
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:00,400
Speaker 3: run through a wall after talking to him. I love

1235
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:01,960
Speaker 3: that incredible. I can't wait.

1236
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:03,480
Speaker 2: I just hope it, you know, I hope it works

1237
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:05,000
Speaker 2: for you because because that's going to be into a

1238
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:05,680
Speaker 2: dumpster fire.

1239
00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:07,520
Speaker 4: So I just hope he can figure it out.

1240
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:09,960
Speaker 3: The organization is not yeah no, And then he got.

1241
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 2: Jags hiring Liam uh Colin, which who had a very

1242
00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 2: weird dou calling.

1243
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:18,920
Speaker 3: His presser and crazy eyes. Oh you had that ready

1244
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:19,520
Speaker 3: to go word.

1245
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:22,840
Speaker 2: I mean he's also bounced around a bit weird.

1246
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 3: Back and forth.

1247
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:26,640
Speaker 2: Ram's assistant wide receiver coach for two years, assistant quarterback

1248
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:28,360
Speaker 2: coach for one year, then twenty twenty one University of

1249
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:31,439
Speaker 2: Kentucky offensive corner, then back to the Rams twenty twenty

1250
00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:34,080
Speaker 2: two to be their OC, then back to Kentucky in

1251
00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:37,439
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, then the Bucks OC in twenty twenty four,

1252
00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:39,600
Speaker 2: like all over the place. He even pulled his name

1253
00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:41,800
Speaker 2: out of the hat when Jags were going to keep

1254
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:43,400
Speaker 2: their GM, then they fired their GM.

1255
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:44,200
Speaker 4: Then he put his name.

1256
00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:47,400
Speaker 3: Back in like literally fire Trent Balky to get hit too,

1257
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:49,240
Speaker 3: like so like they should have done that in the

1258
00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:53,160
Speaker 3: first place. But all this tells me the Buccaneers last

1259
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:55,960
Speaker 3: two years, their last two coordinate offensive coordinators have now

1260
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:58,640
Speaker 3: left for head coaching jobs. So Todd Bowles doing.

1261
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:01,320
Speaker 2: Do in a great job. All right, We're gonna take

1262
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:03,080
Speaker 2: a quick break here when we come back. The Lions

1263
00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:05,439
Speaker 2: lost some big names on their coaching staff, so where

1264
00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:07,320

1278
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:41,280
Speaker 2: So we're going to continue kind of the conversation we

1279
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:43,840
Speaker 2: had at the top of the hour about the coaching

1280
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:46,400
Speaker 2: kind of carousel and the movement because.

1281
00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:49,000
Speaker 3: Something that's happened, Oh yeah, thing just happened. Yeah. We

1282
00:59:49,080 --> 00:59:52,880
Speaker 3: also Chicago Bears, the hired Eric b Enemy that's new

1283
00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:56,320
Speaker 3: for their running backs coach position. Yeah, so he will

1284
00:59:56,320 --> 00:59:59,440
Speaker 3: be under offensive coordinator Declan Doyle, who is the newest

1285
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:02,080
Speaker 3: whiz kid under Ben Johnson, who was the one that's

1286
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:04,760
Speaker 3: actually gonna be calling place. So really good mix of

1287
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaker 3: kind of up and comers. The experience on the staff

1288
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:13,640
Speaker 3: of Ben Johnson still very much like it. It makes

1289
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:17,000
Speaker 3: me think that he really does understand what the learning

1290
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:19,920
Speaker 3: curve is going to be between being a coordinator and

1291
01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:21,880
Speaker 3: a head coach and having the support and making sure

1292
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:23,640
Speaker 3: that you are getting better in guys that have been there,

1293
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:26,040
Speaker 3: done that, all of that kind of stuff. So I'm

1294
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:27,160
Speaker 3: I'm excited.

1295
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:30,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean so this kind of leads into

1296
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 2: this next question here, because the Lions lost a good

1297
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:37,280
Speaker 2: chunk of their coaching staff with Ben Johnson being one

1298
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:39,760
Speaker 2: of the assistants. Yeah, Aaron Glenn to the Jets. Glenn

1299
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:44,320
Speaker 2: took the Lion's passing game coordinator with him. Are are

1300
01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:47,040
Speaker 2: you concerned? Like, where do the Lions go from here?

1301
01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:51,480
Speaker 2: Can they It's funny somethings. Can they fill those holes

1302
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:54,760
Speaker 2: the right way to stay in this Super Bowl window?

1303
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:59,120
Speaker 3: Something Ben Johnson said, which actually, so I've been referring

1304
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:01,000
Speaker 3: to Ben Johnson is like the king of petty because

1305
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:05,120
Speaker 3: he is an I adore it. Yeah again complimentary. He

1306
01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:08,920
Speaker 3: said something which was like kind of sneaky petty if

1307
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:10,520
Speaker 3: you think about it, But he said the runway is

1308
01:01:10,520 --> 01:01:13,120
Speaker 3: already built in Detroit, Oh And that it doesn't matter

1309
01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:15,880
Speaker 3: the coordinators that they have thing. Yeah, like that doesn't

1310
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:17,680
Speaker 3: matter the coordinator they have in there, or the coaches

1311
01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:19,640
Speaker 3: they have in there, like the players, like the talent

1312
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:23,040
Speaker 3: that's there, the leadership under Dan Campbell, Brad Holmes, their GM,

1313
01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:26,880
Speaker 3: they're gonna be okay. And I honestly, I fully believe it.

1314
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:28,800
Speaker 3: Even if that was kind of like a well I

1315
01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:31,760
Speaker 3: built it and wo whoever comes in, it's still gonna

1316
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:35,320
Speaker 3: be by thing like that was kind of the sneaky

1317
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:38,800
Speaker 3: underlying sentiment to it. I do believe it because this

1318
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:42,080
Speaker 3: roster is so well constructed. There are so many of

1319
01:01:42,120 --> 01:01:44,600
Speaker 3: their key players that are under team control through twenty

1320
01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:47,680
Speaker 3: twenty six, twenty twenty seven. They're on the roster locked up.

1321
01:01:47,680 --> 01:01:49,600
Speaker 3: Whether that is the big time free agents that they

1322
01:01:49,600 --> 01:01:52,560
Speaker 3: assigned to extensions like Jared goff amenhas Saint Brown Penney soool,

1323
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:55,919
Speaker 3: all those guys or guys that they drafted like Aiden

1324
01:01:55,960 --> 01:02:00,000
Speaker 3: Hutchinson or Jamiir Gibbs, or even guys like Jack Can't

1325
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:02,480
Speaker 3: who went completely unheralded. But the middle linebacker that they

1326
01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:05,400
Speaker 3: drafted in the first round as well last two years

1327
01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:10,360
Speaker 3: ago ire They're just built in a very sustainable way.

1328
01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:12,640
Speaker 3: If they can ever figure out their sex secondary issues,

1329
01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:17,600
Speaker 3: they have also begun the process of filling those roles

1330
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:21,120
Speaker 3: that are have now departed. What He's hearing, they tired.

1331
01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:24,960
Speaker 3: They hired Casey Rogers from the Buccaneers, who was an

1332
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:28,120
Speaker 3: assistant defensive coordinator and a long time different defensive line coach,

1333
01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:31,240
Speaker 3: had been with Todd Bowles for like eighteen years at

1334
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:35,080
Speaker 3: various stops. He is now the defensive line coach in

1335
01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:38,960
Speaker 3: Detroit under Calvin Shepherd, who was elevated to defensive coordinator,

1336
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:40,640
Speaker 3: who I think is going to crush it to Calvin

1337
01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:43,880
Speaker 3: Shep is great. He is such a He's a guy

1338
01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:46,080
Speaker 3: that all of the players love and they can get behind.

1339
01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:51,560
Speaker 3: But I think that an experienced defensive line coach understanding

1340
01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:53,960
Speaker 3: that the trenches need experience and you need to keep

1341
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:57,640
Speaker 3: those guys. They kept their offensive line coach too. Casey

1342
01:02:57,720 --> 01:03:02,400
Speaker 3: Rogers is just incredible defensive line coach. He's also a

1343
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:04,840
Speaker 3: full disclosure. He's a great friend of mine, but like

1344
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:06,960
Speaker 3: he's like want I want to shout him out though,

1345
01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:10,520
Speaker 3: because he has taught me so much about this game.

1346
01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:12,400
Speaker 3: He has taught me so much about what it means

1347
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:15,680
Speaker 3: to play defensive line. He's so creative in the scheme

1348
01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:18,240
Speaker 3: that he brings and the way that he the looks

1349
01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:20,640
Speaker 3: he presents, the guys that he gets, the way that

1350
01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:23,920
Speaker 3: he utilizes them, the rotation that he has. He is

1351
01:03:24,240 --> 01:03:26,680
Speaker 3: so so good. So to pair him with a guy

1352
01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:31,240
Speaker 3: that's the first time DC, I really think that the

1353
01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:34,280
Speaker 3: Lions are going to be just fine, especially when you

1354
01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:39,080
Speaker 3: consider Ben Johnson was on the staff before actually on

1355
01:03:39,120 --> 01:03:40,600
Speaker 3: the set, before Dan Campbell even got there. He was

1356
01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:43,600
Speaker 3: there under Matt Patricia's staff. Yes, but he was the

1357
01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:47,440
Speaker 3: tight ends coach and like when the when Dan Campbell

1358
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:49,600
Speaker 3: first got there after his first year, then Dan Campbell

1359
01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:52,400
Speaker 3: elevated him to offensive coordinator and look at how well

1360
01:03:52,400 --> 01:03:54,840
Speaker 3: that worked out. So clearly, Dan Campbell knows a thing

1361
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:58,120
Speaker 3: or two about developing not only players, but coaches too.

1362
01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:01,720
Speaker 2: In Dan Campbell, we trust, worry meet is at a zero.

1363
01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:03,520
Speaker 2: All right, there you have it. Let's check in with

1364

01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:31,320
Speaker 5: these latest allegations, Tucker's attorney referred back to Tucker's social

1371
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:33,600
Speaker 5: media posts on Thursday, in which he said he quote

1372
01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:37,360

1392
01:05:40,080 --> 01:05:42,800
Speaker 5: I mean, for it means more for Oklahoma right now

1393
01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:44,840
Speaker 5: because they're two and five in SEC play.

1394
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:47,640
Speaker 3: That was that was okay? All right? Well they might

1395
01:05:47,680 --> 01:05:52,040
Speaker 3: get Yeah, Laura, it like it's so funny because it's

1396
01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:54,240
Speaker 3: like it's such a huge thing. It just means more

1397
01:05:54,240 --> 01:05:57,880
Speaker 3: in the SEC. Hey, does this just mean more? Everwhere else? Sneakily?

1398
01:05:58,040 --> 01:06:01,040
Speaker 5: Alabama basketball has been really good last year.

1399
01:06:01,480 --> 01:06:03,600
Speaker 3: Fourth Yeah, eighteen and three on the season.

1400
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:06,560
Speaker 5: Nate Oates I played, he coached I coached. He coached

1401
01:06:06,680 --> 01:06:08,720
Speaker 5: a team I played against in high school. We got

1402
01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:13,320
Speaker 5: pounded the Bears, your team, Carmen. The Bears hire Eric

1403
01:06:13,360 --> 01:06:15,080
Speaker 5: Benemy as a running backs coach.

1404
01:06:15,160 --> 01:06:15,640
Speaker 9: Back to you.

Speaker 3: Yes Hi Niki. Niki.

1412
01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:36,560
Speaker 4: First, I need to give you a huge shout out.

1413
01:06:36,640 --> 01:06:39,760
Speaker 2: Nicki was doing some incredible coverage you guys during the

1414
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:43,080
Speaker 2: LA wildfires. She kept us all informed and safe and

1415
01:06:43,120 --> 01:06:46,320
Speaker 2: sharing stories, and one of her stories was highlighted live

1416
01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:50,720
Speaker 2: at the Fire Aid concert in LA on Thursday night.

1417
01:06:50,920 --> 01:06:55,520
Speaker 2: So Nikki, congratulations on some amazing work, your superstar, and

1418
01:06:55,560 --> 01:06:57,760
Speaker 2: thank you again she was here in last time.

1419
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:01,040
Speaker 3: Also, thank you for stubbing in and and doing that

1420
01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:03,400
Speaker 3: for us last week. That was great. You and Tracy

1421
01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:06,480
Speaker 3: kicked it kicked. It's you know what, blond squad.

1422
01:07:06,560 --> 01:07:09,120
Speaker 9: It was the Blonde Squad takeover and Alex thank you

1423
01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:11,080
Speaker 9: so much. I just want to send a big hug

1424
01:07:11,160 --> 01:07:14,560
Speaker 9: and all the love to the community of Los Angeles,

1425
01:07:14,840 --> 01:07:17,160
Speaker 9: you know, I mean, sports is such an escape and

1426
01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:21,320
Speaker 9: it's it's beautiful, but being able to see, you know,

1427
01:07:21,360 --> 01:07:25,080
Speaker 9: the way this community has rallied together on so many

1428
01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:29,280
Speaker 9: levels through such tragedy has been really inspiring to witness

1429
01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:31,680
Speaker 9: on the front lines. And I know you've seen it

1430
01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:36,440
Speaker 9: firsthand too. So it's a big love, big love to LA.

1431
01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:39,360
Speaker 9: I know this is a national show, but yeah, this

1432
01:07:39,480 --> 01:07:40,400
Speaker 9: city's been through it.

1433
01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:41,280
Speaker 4: Yeah we have.

1434
01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:43,840
Speaker 2: So let's start with the with the Dodgers, who've also

1435
01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:46,160
Speaker 2: been doing some amazing work in the community of the

1436
01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:48,200
Speaker 2: last few weeks. I think you were with them yesterday

1437
01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:50,360
Speaker 2: or the day before. They've been on this like Love

1438
01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:54,680
Speaker 2: LA community tour. But they've also made some huge signings

1439
01:07:55,040 --> 01:07:57,240
Speaker 2: this off season. Like if you're not a Dodgers fan,

1440
01:07:57,280 --> 01:08:00,919
Speaker 2: everyone just hates the Dodgers now, but most notably is

1441
01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:05,760
Speaker 2: rookie Sasaki. How big are all of these off season

1442
01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:07,880
Speaker 2: acquisitions for the Dodgers.

1443
01:08:08,280 --> 01:08:12,040
Speaker 9: I mean, alex is so massive that, like, honestly, I

1444
01:08:12,160 --> 01:08:15,640
Speaker 9: was talking to faces I could not connect to the

1445
01:08:15,760 --> 01:08:19,800
Speaker 9: names yesterday, just being and they these new guys didn't

1446
01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:22,040
Speaker 9: skip a beat there here in La and they were

1447
01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:25,960
Speaker 9: out in Pasadena yesterday, you know, eating with people impacted

1448
01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:28,320
Speaker 9: by the fire, meeting first responders, and it is part

1449
01:08:28,320 --> 01:08:31,439
Speaker 9: of the Dodgers Love LA Community tour that they do

1450
01:08:31,520 --> 01:08:33,920
Speaker 9: every season, but this year, obviously it means a little

1451
01:08:33,960 --> 01:08:36,920
Speaker 9: bit more considering what the community is just endured. But

1452
01:08:37,520 --> 01:08:41,120
Speaker 9: you talk about massive acquisitions, you talk about multiple acquisitions

1453
01:08:41,800 --> 01:08:45,360
Speaker 9: to the to the fact that the Dodgers' front office

1454
01:08:45,479 --> 01:08:48,400
Speaker 9: and staff have not had much of an off season

1455
01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:52,840
Speaker 9: because it's been introduction press conference after introduction press conference.

1456
01:08:52,920 --> 01:08:56,799
Speaker 9: But I think the bigger picture here, and Dave Roberts

1457
01:08:56,840 --> 01:08:59,720
Speaker 9: spoke about it today at the Dodgers stand that is

1458
01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:03,840
Speaker 9: that you look at this championship caliber roster that just

1459
01:09:03,920 --> 01:09:07,360
Speaker 9: won a World Series, and then you're not only adding talent,

1460
01:09:07,840 --> 01:09:09,679
Speaker 9: but you're adding fire and.

1461
01:09:09,720 --> 01:09:11,600
Speaker 8: Hunger to this clubhouse.

1462
01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:13,960
Speaker 9: That it's like, Okay, not only do you have guys

1463
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:16,759
Speaker 9: like Mookie Betts and show Hey o Tani chasing legacy,

1464
01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:20,840
Speaker 9: but you have new energy and that's going to remind

1465
01:09:21,280 --> 01:09:25,880
Speaker 9: these established stars what it means to chase after a

1466
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:29,840
Speaker 9: World Series. So I think that energy is going to

1467
01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:33,439
Speaker 9: be you know, the first line of defense to the

1468
01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:38,880
Speaker 9: worry about complacency, right, So bringing in it's fresh talent

1469
01:09:39,240 --> 01:09:41,480
Speaker 9: and fresh vigor in my opinion.

1470
01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:45,080
Speaker 3: Nikki, bringing this back to football and some current events

1471
01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:47,519
Speaker 3: that are going to be happening soon. We're going to

1472
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:51,560
Speaker 3: find out who defensive Rookie of the Year in particular

1473
01:09:51,960 --> 01:09:54,200
Speaker 3: is going to go to an NFL honors this Thursday.

1474
01:09:54,840 --> 01:09:58,519
Speaker 3: But you look at the Eagles, Quinjon Mitchell I think

1475
01:09:58,520 --> 01:10:00,960
Speaker 3: has a huge case, but it that were not for

1476
01:10:02,200 --> 01:10:04,600
Speaker 3: a guy on the Rams, Jared Verse, who's part of

1477
01:10:04,640 --> 01:10:07,800
Speaker 3: this revamped defensive line. What have you seen from him

1478
01:10:07,800 --> 01:10:10,120
Speaker 3: this season? Do you believe he is the defensive Rookie

1479
01:10:10,200 --> 01:10:13,280
Speaker 3: of the Year and that unit in general, him and

1480
01:10:13,280 --> 01:10:17,280
Speaker 3: Branden just just killing it for the Los Angeles Rams

1481
01:10:17,280 --> 01:10:18,080
Speaker 3: this season.

1482
01:10:18,520 --> 01:10:20,840
Speaker 9: Right, And I think you have to look at what

1483
01:10:21,360 --> 01:10:24,880
Speaker 9: those two guys did amidst a unit that is so

1484
01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:29,160
Speaker 9: young and fresh with a defensive coordinator Chris Shula, Right,

1485
01:10:29,840 --> 01:10:31,920
Speaker 9: I think you take the big picture of that, and

1486
01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:36,639
Speaker 9: clearly the Rams revamped their approach, you know, to their

1487
01:10:36,680 --> 01:10:40,679
Speaker 9: defensive personnel. Obviously, when you lose a guy like Aaron Donald,

1488
01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:44,840
Speaker 9: that's the way things go. In the absence of rebuilding

1489
01:10:45,240 --> 01:10:45,800
Speaker 9: that core.

1490
01:10:45,960 --> 01:10:47,960
Speaker 2: But I just you.

1491
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:53,920
Speaker 9: Cannot diminish their accomplishment enough, and especially in the grand

1492
01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:57,320
Speaker 9: context of this team right one in four A Divisional

1493
01:10:57,400 --> 01:11:01,360
Speaker 9: round playoffs starting off this season one and four, making

1494
01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:05,280
Speaker 9: it to a Divisional Realms playoffs and eventually losing the game.

1495
01:11:05,360 --> 01:11:09,760
Speaker 9: But I think you look at those rookies and what

1496
01:11:09,800 --> 01:11:13,479
Speaker 9: they accomplish, all things considered, you've got to they have

1497
01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:17,680
Speaker 9: compelling cases for being highlighted on the biggest of stages.

1498
01:11:18,320 --> 01:11:20,200
Speaker 2: So sticking with the Rams, they got a lot of

1499
01:11:20,640 --> 01:11:23,479
Speaker 2: big decisions to make this offseason. Some of their biggest

1500
01:11:23,479 --> 01:11:25,719
Speaker 2: stars you know, might not be back next season, Matthew

1501
01:11:25,720 --> 01:11:30,120
Speaker 2: Stafford and Cooper Cup Like, they are very, very expensive

1502
01:11:30,360 --> 01:11:34,639
Speaker 2: and there's kind of been hints rumors that they might

1503
01:11:34,680 --> 01:11:36,479
Speaker 2: not retain both of them next season.

1504
01:11:36,560 --> 01:11:37,400
Speaker 4: What are you hearing?

1505
01:11:37,560 --> 01:11:41,040
Speaker 2: And do you see Stafford and cut back in LA

1506
01:11:41,120 --> 01:11:41,559
Speaker 2: next year.

1507
01:11:42,600 --> 01:11:46,400
Speaker 9: It's just so interesting because those stars have such fond

1508
01:11:46,680 --> 01:11:52,519
Speaker 9: connections to fans and their memories of this recent RAMS run, right,

1509
01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:56,000
Speaker 9: But then you also think about what they're bringing to

1510
01:11:56,080 --> 01:11:59,760
Speaker 9: the table in terms of health, and it's not consistent

1511
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:03,840
Speaker 9: and that hasn't been reliable for you know what, Sean

1512
01:12:03,920 --> 01:12:06,559
Speaker 9: McVay is trying to build. I think Cooper Cut had

1513
01:12:06,640 --> 01:12:09,080
Speaker 9: played three thirty three games over the course of three

1514
01:12:09,120 --> 01:12:13,920
Speaker 9: seasons after their Super Bowl victory, and I feel like

1515
01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:17,760
Speaker 9: if I were reading between the lines, you know, the

1516
01:12:17,880 --> 01:12:21,120
Speaker 9: Rams love both of these players, but Cut might be

1517
01:12:21,200 --> 01:12:26,080
Speaker 9: on his way out and Stafford in determining what he

1518
01:12:26,160 --> 01:12:29,600
Speaker 9: wants as an about to be thirty seven year old quarterbacks.

1519
01:12:30,280 --> 01:12:34,240
Speaker 9: I know mcvayh wants to deal sooner than later, but

1520
01:12:34,479 --> 01:12:38,879
Speaker 9: it's interesting to see how this, you know, potential breakup

1521
01:12:38,960 --> 01:12:42,840
Speaker 9: could unfold between I think there's there would be no

1522
01:12:42,960 --> 01:12:46,160
Speaker 9: love loss right in terms of or I mean no

1523
01:12:46,280 --> 01:12:49,360
Speaker 9: bad feelings. I should say love loss, but no bad feelings.

1524
01:12:49,680 --> 01:12:53,280
Speaker 9: And so I wouldn't be surprised if we see the

1525
01:12:53,360 --> 01:12:58,400
Speaker 9: Rams pivot in a new direction, going younger and not

1526
01:12:58,760 --> 01:13:01,120
Speaker 9: tying up so much of their money so they could

1527
01:13:01,120 --> 01:13:04,240
Speaker 9: be more versatile, which was the word Sean McVay used.

1528
01:13:04,720 --> 01:13:07,760
Speaker 3: Last question for me, Nikki, you had kind of a

1529
01:13:07,880 --> 01:13:12,639
Speaker 3: viral moment that last week with Bronnie James. That's been

1530
01:13:12,680 --> 01:13:14,840
Speaker 3: such a hot topic. I feel like in the NBA

1531
01:13:15,240 --> 01:13:17,960
Speaker 3: this so far this season, how much playing time he's getting,

1532
01:13:18,080 --> 01:13:20,920
Speaker 3: how much lebron is dictating what's your read on that

1533
01:13:20,960 --> 01:13:21,679
Speaker 3: whole situation.

1534
01:13:22,680 --> 01:13:27,599
Speaker 9: But it was so unexpected believe viral, if that makes sense.

1535
01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:33,559
Speaker 9: Because at the macro level, looking at this situation, it

1536
01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:38,200
Speaker 9: is very easy to criticize Bronnie James, you know, quote

1537
01:13:38,280 --> 01:13:42,000
Speaker 9: unquote being you know, writing the success of his father

1538
01:13:42,160 --> 01:13:45,840
Speaker 9: and maybe being in a league where he hasn't established

1539
01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:50,759
Speaker 9: the talent or the experience that keeps him consistently performing

1540
01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:51,280
Speaker 9: in the NBA.

1541
01:13:51,439 --> 01:13:52,280
Speaker 3: Right, But.

1542
01:13:53,960 --> 01:13:56,720
Speaker 9: We also have to take a microscope and look at

1543
01:13:56,720 --> 01:13:59,160
Speaker 9: what this young man has been through in terms of

1544
01:14:00,439 --> 01:14:03,040
Speaker 9: his health scare, you know, and what he went through

1545
01:14:03,479 --> 01:14:09,240
Speaker 9: see and just seeing that first and foremost in a

1546
01:14:09,320 --> 01:14:12,759
Speaker 9: G League basketball game where he scored thirty one points,

1547
01:14:12,760 --> 01:14:15,840
Speaker 9: but I'll tell you for a six one guy, he

1548
01:14:15,960 --> 01:14:19,679
Speaker 9: was scoring, he was dunking, he had the entire building

1549
01:14:19,760 --> 01:14:24,559
Speaker 9: on its seat, and people love him. But then I've

1550
01:14:24,600 --> 01:14:26,840
Speaker 9: spoken with him and it's always been in a very

1551
01:14:26,960 --> 01:14:30,800
Speaker 9: you know, he's been through the lebron James pr academy, right,

1552
01:14:30,920 --> 01:14:34,760
Speaker 9: he knows coach speak like I'm pretty sure he was born.

1553
01:14:35,240 --> 01:14:39,400
Speaker 9: Those were probably his first first sentences. But in the

1554
01:14:39,439 --> 01:14:42,800
Speaker 9: wake of this moment where he did perform and he

1555
01:14:42,840 --> 01:14:48,439
Speaker 9: did have his own success. It was clear that he

1556
01:14:48,600 --> 01:14:51,400
Speaker 9: was having a great time and he was having fun,

1557
01:14:52,000 --> 01:14:54,320
Speaker 9: and that was a question that I didn't plan on

1558
01:14:54,479 --> 01:14:57,479
Speaker 9: asking him, but he mentioned just working on getting his

1559
01:14:57,600 --> 01:15:01,960
Speaker 9: confidence back, and that's something that he hasn't been outwardly

1560
01:15:02,200 --> 01:15:05,320
Speaker 9: expressive of because right he has to. He has to

1561
01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:09,440
Speaker 9: posture himself that he's worthy of being in these arenas,

1562
01:15:09,600 --> 01:15:13,519
Speaker 9: and you know, to see him actually have a moment

1563
01:15:13,560 --> 01:15:16,479
Speaker 9: where he shines and then to see the joy it

1564
01:15:16,520 --> 01:15:20,519
Speaker 9: brought him. I think a lot of people resonated with

1565
01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:24,000
Speaker 9: that answer from him because they're like, oh my gosh,

1566
01:15:24,040 --> 01:15:27,360
Speaker 9: this is a kid who you know, is grateful to

1567
01:15:27,360 --> 01:15:30,040
Speaker 9: be living. He's grateful to be breathing and walking, and

1568
01:15:30,120 --> 01:15:32,840
Speaker 9: he does not this game for granted. So that was

1569
01:15:32,880 --> 01:15:35,720
Speaker 9: a huge That was a huge eye opener for me too,

1570
01:15:35,800 --> 01:15:37,800
Speaker 9: because it's easy to think it, but then to hear

1571
01:15:37,840 --> 01:15:40,080
Speaker 9: him say it was was pretty special.

1572
01:15:40,520 --> 01:15:43,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, great work, Nikki, all around, You've had some pretty

1573

1605
01:17:11,880 --> 01:17:13,680
Speaker 4: It's also like hometown for Dave, which we love.

1606
01:17:13,800 --> 01:17:15,000
Speaker 3: It is it is. Okay.

1607
01:17:15,040 --> 01:17:16,559
Speaker 2: So we're going to go through like who we would

1608
01:17:16,560 --> 01:17:18,640
Speaker 2: pick for our NFL awards, Okay, and we're going to

1609
01:17:18,720 --> 01:17:19,160
Speaker 2: start with.

1610
01:17:20,800 --> 01:17:23,120
Speaker 3: MVP. Now, I.

1611
01:17:25,360 --> 01:17:28,519
Speaker 2: I think I think Lamar Jackson is most likely going

1612
01:17:28,560 --> 01:17:30,320
Speaker 2: to win it, just because he beat out Josh Allen

1613
01:17:30,320 --> 01:17:32,760
Speaker 2: for the Pro Bowl All like All Team, the All

1614
01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:35,160
Speaker 2: Pro Team, and it's the same people to vote for MVP.

1615
01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:39,000
Speaker 2: But I would vote Josh Allen. We talked about this

1616
01:17:39,120 --> 01:17:41,400
Speaker 2: when we were talking about like can Josh Allen get

1617
01:17:41,439 --> 01:17:44,960
Speaker 2: over the hump? He is the reason that the Bills

1618
01:17:45,680 --> 01:17:48,160
Speaker 2: made it as far as they did. He took that team,

1619
01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:50,280
Speaker 2: He put him on the bat on his back. He

1620
01:17:50,320 --> 01:17:53,680
Speaker 2: carried the Bills to the AFC Championship game. He like,

1621
01:17:54,520 --> 01:17:59,160
Speaker 2: his improvement this season was so visible and so incredible.

1622
01:17:59,560 --> 01:18:03,240
Speaker 2: The team had I don't want to say low expectations,

1623
01:18:03,280 --> 01:18:07,880
Speaker 2: but lower than years past, and he just absolutely exceeded them.

1624
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:12,200
Speaker 4: So I would have Josh Allen as the MVP.

1625
01:18:12,439 --> 01:18:14,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have Josh Allen as my MVP because of

1626
01:18:14,880 --> 01:18:16,920
Speaker 3: what he was able to do with the Buffalo Bills

1627
01:18:16,920 --> 01:18:20,320
Speaker 3: as far as elevate, yes, the talent around him. Which

1628
01:18:20,520 --> 01:18:22,320
Speaker 3: that's not to say Lamar Jackson didn't do the same thing,

1629
01:18:22,360 --> 01:18:26,120
Speaker 3: because he did he had the benefit of and his

1630
01:18:26,120 --> 01:18:28,679
Speaker 3: stats are better than Josh's right now. But the biggest

1631
01:18:28,680 --> 01:18:31,679
Speaker 3: thing to me is like the improvement of Josh Allen

1632
01:18:31,680 --> 01:18:33,880
Speaker 3: taking care of the football. He has bucked every narrative

1633
01:18:33,880 --> 01:18:37,360
Speaker 3: that plagued him earlier in interceptions in his career, he

1634
01:18:37,439 --> 01:18:40,519
Speaker 3: wasn't accurate, he couldn't you know, like he couldn't take

1635
01:18:40,520 --> 01:18:42,320
Speaker 3: care of the football, all this other stuff. He is

1636
01:18:42,400 --> 01:18:45,640
Speaker 3: now one of the most accurate quarterbacks. He is a

1637
01:18:45,680 --> 01:18:47,759
Speaker 3: guy that takes care of the football. He's incredibly efficient

1638
01:18:47,760 --> 01:18:51,200
Speaker 3: with it, and then again elevated the Bills to a

1639
01:18:51,240 --> 01:18:53,320
Speaker 3: place where they weren't supposed to be this season. They

1640
01:18:53,320 --> 01:18:57,120
Speaker 3: were not projected to be the Bills of last year.

1641
01:18:57,160 --> 01:18:59,480
Speaker 3: Everybody made a big deal about all of the departures

1642
01:18:59,520 --> 01:19:01,599
Speaker 3: they had, all of that kind of stuff. Now, Josh

1643
01:19:01,640 --> 01:19:03,360
Speaker 3: Allen did have the benefit of the Bills offensive line,

1644
01:19:03,360 --> 01:19:05,559
Speaker 3: which I thought went criminally underrated this year. He did

1645
01:19:05,600 --> 01:19:07,760
Speaker 3: have James Cook, who was an incredible young running back

1646
01:19:07,800 --> 01:19:09,680
Speaker 3: that I love very much. He had a really good

1647
01:19:09,720 --> 01:19:11,400
Speaker 3: defense despite the fact that there was a lot of

1648
01:19:11,439 --> 01:19:16,000
Speaker 3: guys that, again either to injury or whatever, didn't expect

1649
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:18,200
Speaker 3: the defense to be as good as it was once,

1650
01:19:18,280 --> 01:19:20,360
Speaker 3: especially like they got Matt Milano if he was out

1651
01:19:20,400 --> 01:19:22,240
Speaker 3: for extended period of time, but when he was in,

1652
01:19:22,320 --> 01:19:25,360
Speaker 3: it was just the Bills out perform expectations. And the

1653
01:19:25,439 --> 01:19:27,840
Speaker 3: reason was Josh Allen. And when I think about the

1654
01:19:27,920 --> 01:19:31,400
Speaker 3: MVP Award, it is who elevated their team.

1655
01:19:31,240 --> 01:19:33,200
Speaker 4: One most valuable player to their team, and.

1656
01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:34,519
Speaker 3: It is But I'm not gonna be mad if it's

1657
01:19:34,520 --> 01:19:36,320
Speaker 3: Samar Jackson. Yeah, love Lamar. Yeah.

1658
01:19:36,400 --> 01:19:38,160
Speaker 2: Okay, we're gonna run through these pretty quicks we got

1659
01:19:38,200 --> 01:19:41,559
Speaker 2: under a minute left. Offensive Rookie of the Year, I'm

1660
01:19:41,560 --> 01:19:44,240
Speaker 2: going Jade and Daniels because he completely turned a franchise around.

1661
01:19:44,240 --> 01:19:45,000
Speaker 4: Okay, we agree with that.

1662
01:19:45,080 --> 01:19:48,759
Speaker 2: Defensive rookie. I'm going to go with Rams Jared Verse. Yes,

1663
01:19:49,439 --> 01:19:51,560
Speaker 2: same same offensive player on the year.

1664
01:19:51,840 --> 01:19:52,559
Speaker 3: There's no other answer.

1665
01:19:52,720 --> 01:19:55,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it has to be Saquon Barklay, Yes, okay. Comeback

1666
01:19:55,240 --> 01:19:57,320
Speaker 2: Player of the Year, Sam Darnold, Yeah, I have that deal.

1667
01:19:57,479 --> 01:19:59,559
Speaker 2: Oh my gosha, we aligned on all these that's so funny.

1668
01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:03,840
Speaker 2: The year I think it's between Dan quinn and Kevin O'Connell,

1669
01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:04,880
Speaker 2: like these are the two.

1670
01:20:05,640 --> 01:20:08,240
Speaker 3: I put Kevin O'Connell and I put dan Quinn. Okay, okay,

1671
01:20:08,400 --> 01:20:11,880
Speaker 3: that's fair because both did incredible, right, I mean, both

1672
01:20:11,920 --> 01:20:15,880
Speaker 3: sur passed any and all expectations. Kevin O'Connell is responsible

1673
01:20:15,920 --> 01:20:18,240
Speaker 3: for the comeback Player of the year in Sam Donald.

1674
01:20:19,240 --> 01:20:20,439
Speaker 3: That was the tie breaker for all. Right.

1675
01:20:20,439 --> 01:20:22,320
Speaker 2: Thank you for spending your Saturday afternoon with us, carme.

1676
01:20:22,320 --> 01:20:23,880

01:20:23,920 --> 01:20:24,679
