What what is your biggest storyline, storylines? 100 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 3: What are you thinking going into this weekend's big game AFC. 101 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 4: I think the biggest storyline of all the playoffs and 102 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 4: not just the AFC, is that a bolden nickless Denver 103 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 4: Bronco football told Nicklas a bold Nicholas death football team. 104 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 4: And I think that's the biggest storyline going into this weekend. Obviously, 105 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,600 Speaker 4: man and nobody really expected this young man to come 106 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 4: in and have the season that he's having and and 107 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 4: be you know, talked about an MVP conversation them being 108 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 4: a number one seed at home in Denver, and you know, 109 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 4: just the unfortunate you know play that happened a play 110 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 4: before the lasting of the game. He went fractures his foot, 111 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 4: breaks his foot, and these guys have you know, every 112 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 4: everybody had Super Bowl aspirations. But I think a little 113 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 4: bit of the you know, al left the balloon when 114 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 4: they found out he wasn't you know, going to be 115 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 4: available still was making his first start, a playoff start 116 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 4: against a well coached Mike Abley football team. Man, they 117 00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 4: I don't think anybody could have, you know, for for 118 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 4: for seeing what Mike Vrabel has been able to do, 119 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 4: you know, to this football team, not to this level, 120 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 4: to be on the on the on the cusp of 121 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 4: getting back to the super Bowl. We was having conversations, uh, 122 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 4: you know two a year or two ago about how 123 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 4: how bad Drake May was, Uh, the the New England 124 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 4: Patriots aren't getting back to the Super Bowl anytime soon. 125 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 4: And in comes Mike Vrabel, and now we're talking about 126 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 4: the New England Patriots going back to the Super Bowl. 127 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: And it's just on. 128 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 4: Both sides of it, great stories Drake May, Uh you know, 129 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 4: both next the seasons that they've had. But uh, if 130 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 4: you if you have to look at it and say, 131 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 4: you know, who has the upper hand, you know, going 132 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 4: into this game as weekend, you would just have to say, 133 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,799 Speaker 4: Mike Vrabel, I mean especially with without your starting quarterback, 134 00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 4: Uh JK. Dobbins is out this weekend, so you just 135 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 4: look like the game in a hole and saying to 136 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 4: So it's gonna come down to coaching. Two great coaches, 137 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 4: Sean Payton and Mike Vrabel too well coached football teams. 138 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 4: Uh uh great great, great defenses. Because nobody's really given 139 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 4: the New England Patriots their flowers on defense, they really 140 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 4: get out the football man, they line up, they play 141 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 4: man and man, they can get to the quarterback. They 142 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 4: get turnovers on defense, and it's something that we haven't 143 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 4: seen obviously since Bill Belichick left. But it's gonna be 144 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 4: a good It's gonna be a really good game. I 145 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 4: think it's gonna be the best game of the playoffs, 146 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 4: especially under these situations. But man, I'm just looking forward 147 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 4: to a good game. But if I have to, you know, 148 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 4: take a you know, a wild guess. I just think 149 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 4: just just those little plays that need to be made 150 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 4: that the Denver Broncos have been having all season with 151 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 4: both Knicks under center, those players aren't gonna happen this weekend. 152 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 4: I think that's gonna be a difference in the game. 153 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 3: You know, with this game coming out of last weekend's games, 154 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 3: I wouldn't have if you would have said that Texans 155 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 3: game was about to go the way it went, I 156 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 3: would not have. I would not have been able to 157 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 3: go down that road with you. I'm not sure what 158 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 3: happened to CJ. Stroud, Like, I have no idea. I'm 159 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 3: still perplexed as to how he and that offense could 160 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 3: have performed so poorly and such a big moment for 161 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 3: that team and for CJ. Stroud's young career. It threw 162 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 3: me for Luke Plex because I feel like my biggest 163 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 3: storyline is and I. 164 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 1: Hate to say it, because they have been good. 165 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 3: They have found ways to be at the record that 166 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 3: they're at and have played at a high level. 167 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: Speaking of the New England. 168 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 3: Patriots, I thought they did some really good things on often, 169 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 3: but it's it left me. 170 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: That game left me feeling like was it and what it? 171 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 3: Cannot trust the New England Patriots because I did think 172 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 3: that they played really good defense, But was it that 173 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 3: they played really good defense or was it that that 174 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 3: Houston's offense was so inept and so bad? And that 175 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 3: was like to me, that's I'm curious. Will they be 176 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 3: able to go into Male High and be able to 177 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 3: handle things on the offensive side of the ball? Uh 178 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 3: in a way where you know, if it doesn't turn 179 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 3: out to be the defense that that they can win 180 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 3: the game, that's gonna New. 181 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 1: England defense man, they ranked number nine. 182 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 3: Overhaul and listen, I think they're good. They played well. 183 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 3: I think the pieces that that Rapes bought together in 184 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 3: the offseason have it's played out as mad flee as 185 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 3: it can play out. Sixteen to three team that's nothing 186 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,199 Speaker 3: to sneeze at. I mean, that is a really, really 187 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 3: fine football team, and for what is worth, they had 188 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 3: a better record than the Texans coming into the game. 189 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 3: I just thought that the Texans was the hottest team 190 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 3: in the AFC coming into to that weekend and the 191 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 3: Patriots doubts stat fire. It makes me wonder, am I 192 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 3: thinking the Patriots are so good now that I look 193 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 3: at this as not from a real perspective of how 194 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 3: good this Denver Bronco team is because their defense is. 195 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,959 Speaker 1: For real and I love Rapes. 196 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 3: But if I'm giving somebody experience in terms of coaching, 197 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 3: I'm going with Sean Payton in terms of the experience 198 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 3: being here on coaching. Listen, I know Vrabel has been 199 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:58,719 Speaker 3: in a gang of championship games and championship weekends and 200 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 3: as a player, you know, even as a coach like 201 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 3: I get that, but man, I'm curious. 202 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,959 Speaker 4: Also, I would take Sean Payton also if they had 203 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 4: both knicks. But I think it's a totally different animal 204 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 4: for the Broncos offensively without your starting quarterback. It's a 205 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 4: whole different ball game because all of those plays that 206 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 4: that he has in mind, that this roll off your 207 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 4: tongue so easy, and you. 208 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: Yes, you have to rethink about it. It's not the same. 209 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 4: It's not the same offense, especially when you just when 210 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 4: you know what your quarterback capabilities are and when it 211 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 4: comes to making plays, and we don't. We just don't 212 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 4: know what Stidham, how he's going to react in these situations, 213 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 4: especially high present situations. You know, when when plays need 214 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 4: to be made. What are his limitations? What does he 215 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 4: do well and what does he struggle with? I think 216 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,559 Speaker 4: that's going to be the main thing that's going to 217 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 4: be on display in front of the whole world, and 218 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 4: this man is making his first thought in the AFC 219 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 4: Championship game? 220 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 1: Am I? 221 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:09,559 Speaker 3: Am I wrong for saying they at least they beat 222 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 3: the hardest team to beat before they lost bow Knicks? 223 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: Is that? 224 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 3: Is that? 225 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:16,559 Speaker 1: Am I wrong for. 226 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:22,239 Speaker 3: Saying that you got through the game and the AFC 227 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 3: you got through If I'm saying, if there's a silver 228 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,439 Speaker 3: lining to having to put a backup into the game. 229 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 3: And I hate to do this to the New England Patriots, 230 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 3: but hey, we got out of the Buffalo Bills matchup. 231 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 3: You know that's a complete team. This probably should have 232 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 3: been Buffalo year and y'all got out of that game. 233 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: Y'all got out of that game. 234 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 4: That game working mental for the Patriots playing against Bill 235 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 4: trying to get into the super Bowl. 236 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: But that's that's not that's not the case. 237 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 3: I think the I think the Patriots are going to 238 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 3: have a ton of confidence one way or the other. 239 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 3: But you go up against a backup in the biggest 240 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 3: game of the year I was, outside of the Super Bowl, 241 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 3: you're going to have a little bit more confidence going 242 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 3: into that. As a defender. That's there's no way of 243 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:14,319 Speaker 3: getting around that. But I gotta say, if I'm Denver 244 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 3: and knowing how Denver's offense operates, I'm not I'm not 245 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 3: certain that if I'm Sean Payton and the Broncos that 246 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 3: having the home field advantage, having that noise on your side. 247 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 3: I mean, if you think about it, they didn't even 248 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 3: have much. I mean they got to thirty three points, 249 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 3: but you know, off of bow Nick's throwing those three 250 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 3: three three touchdowns, they didn't have much of a running game. 251 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 1: And and really, if. 252 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 3: You think about it, they're receivers, I mean, Melmes, Mems 253 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 3: didn't even break one hundred yards and he was the 254 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 3: highest producing receiver for the Broncos. I just I think 255 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 3: they got a chance to get it done, because for 256 00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 3: what is worth, I believe Sean Payton will be able 257 00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 3: to implement a play a game plan where Jared Stidham 258 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 3: just has to manage the game. 259 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: Bo Nicks all he does is manages games. I don't 260 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: think be enough. I don't think so. 261 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 4: I don't think just managing the football game on your 262 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 4: way going to the Super Bowl. I think Mike Ray 263 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 4: was gonna heat him up a little bit, give him 264 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 4: some pressure. You know, obviously it's gonna be for the 265 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 4: first time he's going to be some of these seeing 266 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 4: some of these coverages and blitch is that he's never 267 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 4: seen in his life and. 268 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 3: Going to have to deal with Sean Payton going after him. 269 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 3: Sean Payton going get out. They're going to get after there, 270 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 3: They are going to get after Drake May. 271 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 4: I trust Drake May a little bit more than I 272 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 4: would trust Jared Stidham when it comes down to making 273 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 4: decisions from you know, you know, making the right play, 274 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 4: making the right decisions, and uh, you know in those 275 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 4: blitz you know, situations and I think that's gonna be 276 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 4: the storyline of the game. 277 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 1: Offenses for them is how well can you handle the blitz? 278 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: That's that's to me, that's that's going to be the 279 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: key because I. 280 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 3: Believe obviously the Denver offense has to manage they have 281 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 3: to manage what's going on on the offense side because 282 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 3: the Knicks not being in and having to back up in. 283 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 3: But they have managed with bow Knicks in the game 284 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 3: as the starter too, Like he's played well, he's played 285 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 3: at a high level, but it has been in a 286 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 3: managing what his what he needs to do. I don't 287 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 3: think they're in an unfamiliar place, and I think it's 288 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 3: going to come down to what what uh Drake May 289 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 3: is able to do because there is going to be 290 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 3: a high premium placed on making this game about forcing 291 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 3: Drake May into mistakes. It's probably the best chance Denver 292 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 3: has of winning this game against against the Patriots. 293 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 4: Hey, well, let me ask you a question. I always 294 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 4: want to notice. How does it feel as a as 295 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 4: a as a defender when the play comes in and 296 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 4: it's just all blitz? I mean, how how did that 297 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 4: make you feel as a player when it comes all blitz? 298 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: As a blitzer. 299 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 3: As a blitzer, it's I just the first thing I 300 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 3: do is I look at my my cover guys. I'll 301 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 3: be pleased. Just give me three seconds, Just give me 302 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 3: three seconds. 303 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: And it don't have. 304 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 3: And it don't have because in three seconds, we're gonna 305 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 3: disrupt him. In two and a half, we're gonna disrupt him. 306 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 3: And if everybody's coming ears back, we're going to disrupt 307 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 3: that quarterback within within two and a half seconds, two 308 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 3: point five. That third second, that's like that's where you like, okay, 309 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 3: we're putting that were touching him, or he's gotta he's 310 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 3: gotta scramble. All bets are off at that point, you know, 311 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 3: or somebody comes free, and that third second is a 312 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 3: wu lick on the QB you know. So and if 313 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 3: it's a run, you know, it depends on how good 314 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 3: your offensive line is. You know, if it's a run, 315 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 3: you gotta be careful when you're blitzing against the run 316 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 3: because it could create a only get through. 317 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: The first level. 318 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 3: If that back gets through the first level of those 319 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,640 Speaker 3: blitzers and makes it to the second level, it's only 320 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 3: like secondary guys there to make the tackle. So it 321 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,199 Speaker 3: there is something to it. You can't just like go 322 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,719 Speaker 3: crazy and be like, all right, we're all blitzing. But 323 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 3: I will say it is a more aggressive style of 324 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,119 Speaker 3: playing football, and I believe Sean Payton is going to 325 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 3: that point. I believe Sean Payton is going to come 326 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,880 Speaker 3: out with aggressive football. So we'll see how that all 327 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 3: plays out. That's the AFC. We're gonna take a quick break. 328 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:33,360 Speaker 3: On the other side of the break, we're gonna talk NFC. Yeah, 329 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 3: it's a big game. That's that's a this is a 330 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 3: three and three times.

Big storylines here. Obviously 397 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 3: this is a grudge match. They split the season one 398 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 3: one in one, but it did appear that maybe the 399 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 3: Rams were most likely in those scenarios the better team 400 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:21,479 Speaker 3: that won the first one and maybe let the second 401 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,439 Speaker 3: one get away from And what's your big storylines on 402 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 3: this one? 403 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 1: What's your take on this match? 404 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 4: Man Seattle man once twice, three times as a lady man. 405 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 4: It's tough to beat a divisional opponent, man when you 406 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 4: see him three times, I mean it is. We had 407 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 4: that same kind of situation in Ose seven where we 408 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 4: had to play Dallas in the NFC Championship, I mean 409 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 4: the NFC divisional games. You get to the NFC Championship 410 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 4: game and it came down to the last play with 411 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 4: all w making a great play on too to get 412 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 4: us there. But you're just looking looking at this game, 413 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 4: and what sticks out, I think to me and everybody 414 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 4: else is just this Seattle defense man. I just got 415 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 4: to give kudos to my guy, de Marcus lowans Man 416 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 4: spent eleven years in Dallas and now he's on the 417 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 4: brink of, you know, staring, you know, uh, the possibility 418 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,439 Speaker 4: of making it to the Super Bowl, and went this 419 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 4: in this defensive line man Lennett Williams, Jan Reed Hankins 420 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 4: and Byron Murphy. Man, they just they just get after 421 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 4: the quarterback. They don't give up a lot of big plays. 422 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 4: They did. One of the recipes for a great team 423 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:37,119 Speaker 4: and a great defense is when you can get to 424 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 4: the quarterback without blitzing. And they have some guys in 425 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:46,360 Speaker 4: the back of that can really play Kobe and some 426 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,919 Speaker 4: of those other guys. But this defense man, they really 427 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 4: find a way to get after the quarterback with this 428 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,679 Speaker 4: defensive line and just slow you down. And offensively, you know, 429 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 4: we've been talking about you know, uh, Sam Donald all year. 430 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,919 Speaker 4: When they lost the first game in Los Angeles. Man, 431 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 4: he played so bad I think I believe it through 432 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,640 Speaker 4: four interceptions, so he really didn't give him a chance 433 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 4: to win that game. But you look at this running 434 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 4: game with Sharpernay and Kenni Walker the third. The Seahawks 435 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 4: are averaging one hundreds on the ground. Man, he's out 436 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 4: when you huh, Sharbonnay is out. Oh, Charbonne's out. But 437 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 4: yay give it to my guy Michigan State, Kenneth Walker 438 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 4: the third. 439 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 1: That's what we do. 440 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 4: But when you averaging six yars of carry and one 441 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,920 Speaker 4: hundred and seventy one yards over the last four or 442 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 4: five games, that's tough to stop, especially when you have 443 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 4: a veteran quarterback in Sam Donald, and you have I 444 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 4: think right now who was playing the best football at 445 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 4: the wide receiver position is Jackson Smith and genzba Jsn. 446 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 4: I mean, he just gets open and make he makes 447 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 4: plays that you didn't even know that this young man 448 00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 4: was capable of, you know, doing a year to a go. 449 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 4: But if I look at it as a whole, I 450 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 4: just got to think that the home fill advantage for Seattle. 451 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 4: I think it's the best in in in the league. 452 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,159 Speaker 4: I've been up there five times. I'm five. It's just 453 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,159 Speaker 4: something about that crowd and the way that stadium is built, 454 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,160 Speaker 4: and when when that place get to jumping. I mean 455 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 4: I remember vividly just staring at Tommy Maddox in his 456 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 4: face and he's screaming me to play it. I'm like, dogs, 457 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 4: I can't hear nothing you saying, and they screaming it 458 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 4: to you right in front of your face. And when 459 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 4: I when we went there, and I believe it was six, 460 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 4: we actually set the record for false thoughts. We jumped 461 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,199 Speaker 4: off the sounds eleven times. I mean that's how you 462 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 4: know nerve racking. This home advantage can be for them, 463 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 4: But if you're looking at the Rams, I think that 464 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 4: they know it's gonna be a uphill battle for them 465 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,160 Speaker 4: going in the road playing the Divisional four. 466 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:56,920 Speaker 1: Uh. 467 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 4: This defense is playing the best football of any defense 468 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:02,119 Speaker 4: that we've seen. 469 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm serious. 470 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 4: In the last you know, maybe decade, they're only giving 471 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 4: up sixteen points a game. I mean, if you only 472 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,439 Speaker 4: surrender of sixteen points a game, then you got a 473 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 4: pretty damn good shot of winning every game. So I 474 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,880 Speaker 4: think that's the storylines for for me to Seattle defense. 475 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 4: If Sam Donald just goes out and just able to 476 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 4: make plays and they can run the football one hundred 477 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:31,159 Speaker 4: and seventy y'alls a game and play defense, I just 478 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 4: think this has Seattle written all over it. 479 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 1: Yeah. 480 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,640 Speaker 3: I mean, it's hard to disagree with what you're saying 481 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 3: and the points that you're presenting. You know, I asked 482 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 3: myself the same thing in this game as I did 483 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:47,959 Speaker 3: with the Patriots and that game that they're taking against 484 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 3: the Denver Broncos. Is am I looking at a game 485 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 3: where man like you got out of that Texans game 486 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,160 Speaker 3: and it's like, okay, you out out of the Texans game. 487 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,919 Speaker 3: Am I thinking that you as the Patriots are a 488 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 3: better team than what you are because of how you 489 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 3: performed against that that in that game against the Texans 490 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 3: or are you, you know, are you really that good? 491 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,679 Speaker 3: Like I'm just I'm curious on that one. And I 492 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 3: have the same question here coming out of this game 493 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 3: against the forty nine ers. They were so the Seahawks 494 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 3: were so dominant against them, but this was a depleted team. 495 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 3: I mean, make no mistake about. 496 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 1: It, how we not fall. 497 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 3: I just don't think you can because the forty I mean, 498 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,679 Speaker 3: if you're if you're saying what I think you're saying, 499 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 3: the forty nine ers was not in a good place 500 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 3: to be competitive at that high a level of a game. 501 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 3: The game prior to the Divisional championship game. You you 502 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 3: don't have Kittle, you you know, really it just you 503 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 3: You're a depleted team. 504 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 1: You don't have your basically five best players. 505 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 3: You know, the Warner, you know, Bosa, all these guys 506 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 3: they're they're they're not there. You know, you don't have 507 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,440 Speaker 3: your receiver he's you know, that's that's a situation. It's 508 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,159 Speaker 3: just so much that that the forty nine ers have 509 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:19,160 Speaker 3: had to overcoming, overcome and what Robert Salah and and 510 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 3: and Mike Shanahan had to do, Kyle Shanahan, what they 511 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:26,439 Speaker 3: had to get accomplished. I just wonder, is am I 512 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:32,400 Speaker 3: looking at at this this Seattle team as being as 513 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,920 Speaker 3: dominant as they looked in that game, because I think 514 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 3: this is a much different matchup. Obviously it's a quarterbacks matchup, Right, 515 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 3: what will Darnold do for the Seattle Seahawks. He's got 516 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 3: to be He's got to be better than what he 517 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 3: was in that last game. And and Matthew Stafford, who 518 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 3: I think will be most likely the MVP of the league, 519 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 3: what's he going to do in this game? You mentioned 520 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 3: in JIGBA, Well what is what is Davonte Adams going 521 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 3: to do? Because if I'm Seattle, I'm trying to pooka 522 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 3: Nikola out of the game and force the Rams to 523 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 3: win it on on the ground, I don't want Matthew 524 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,400 Speaker 3: Stafford winning the game with his arm with pookin the coo. 525 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,200 Speaker 3: I just don't. That's not what I want. So I'm 526 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 3: going to roll my coverage on top of him. Can 527 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,119 Speaker 3: Davante Adams find that magic? Can he hit them with 528 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 3: the showgun to Harlem and flick some of that glow 529 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:23,120 Speaker 3: on him a little bit? 530 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:23,479 Speaker 1: You know? 531 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,639 Speaker 3: In this game, I think that's going to play a 532 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,120 Speaker 3: major part because I do think that they're so evenly matched. 533 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 1: But I, for some strange reason, you think. 534 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 4: They're just bad. I don't think that. I don't think 535 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 4: they evenly matched. And you just put the cherry on 536 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 4: top of what I was just saying earlier. You you 537 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 4: asking yourself because the Seahawks were so dominant defensively and 538 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 4: the forty nine ers were depleted. I really don't believe 539 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 4: if they had everybody last week, it still wouldn't to 540 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 4: help the way this defense is able to get out 541 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 4: of your quarterback. I mean, brock Party had no You 542 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 4: think that Seattle Seahawks are just far and away better 543 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 4: than the Rams. 544 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 1: Absolutely no doubt about it. 545 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 4: I believe if they get after Matthew Stafford like they 546 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 4: did brock Party, it doesn't matter who you have a 547 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 4: wide receiver, because if you can't get to throw the football, 548 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 4: then it doesn't matter. 549 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 1: You know. 550 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 3: But the Rams defense brings that same type of pressure. 551 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 3: And I know Burns is Burns down. I think Burns 552 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 3: might be down, but they do have a really I mean, 553 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 3: they bring it, you know, the Rams bring it with 554 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 3: their pressure as well. I mean, I don't know, man, 555 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 3: I don't think there as far apart as you, I 556 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 3: thought the Rams was the better team and both match 557 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 3: up this thing. 558 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 1: I just think Seattle is well balanced. Man. 559 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 4: They can run it and throw. And I think that's 560 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 4: one of the things that Sean McVay really gets away 561 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 4: from in the running game with the Rams with Kyle 562 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 4: Williams and Blick Korn, is that they don't really run 563 00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 4: the football a lot many averaging fourteen f Keen Russ 564 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 4: is a game you're gonna need more than that. You're 565 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 4: gonna have to, you know, instill some confidence in this 566 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 4: offensive line, in this running game if you want to 567 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 4: go out and have a chance to win this game. 568 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 4: Because I just don't believe you can get back in 569 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 4: the shotgun and throw the ball forty to forty five 570 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 4: times and you think that you're going to go up 571 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 4: and down the field on this Seattle defense. I don't 572 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 4: think that's the recipe if you want to win this game. 573 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 4: Can Sean McVay be patient enough to try to establish 574 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 4: the running game because he gets down a touchdown ten 575 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 4: points and he wants to turn into the Matthew Stafford 576 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 4: and Pooking the Core Show. And I don't think that's 577 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 4: going to be your recipe if you want to win 578 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 4: this game. 579 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 3: It's gonna be a tactical game, and it's gonna be 580 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 3: offense McVeigh versus obviously the defensive mind of what McDonald McDonald, 581 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 3: Mike McDonald had a farm. What he brings to the 582 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 3: table with his horses and his cows and his oxen. 583 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 3: It's gonna be interesting to see how that all plays out, 584 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 3: because they say defense wins championships, but it's really going 585 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 3: to be what what the Rams do on offense? And 586 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 3: and honestly, I think it's going to be what the 587 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 3: what the Seahawks do on offense. It's going to be 588 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 3: a Donold and Stafford game. I think whoever, obviously, I mean, 589 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 3: whoever plays out a high level and doesn't make a 590 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 3: ton of mistakes, I think that's going to be the 591 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 3: team that wins this one. But I do give the edge, 592 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 3: and we'll get to obviously up on game down on 593 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 3: game before the show ends. But I definitely look at 594 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 3: this one and I say, if I'm looking at momentum, 595 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 3: if I'm looking at momentum, I gotta go with the 596 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 3: Seahawks having the more, you know, more momentum going into 597 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 3: this game than maybe I mean, maybe it's close, maybe 598 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 3: it's between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks, 599 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 3: but I don't know. I just see it just seems 600 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 3: like there's a lot of momentum for those two teams 601 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 3: coming into the weeks that into this this championship weekend. 602 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 1: But you know, we'll see how it all plays out. 603 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 3: We'll see how it plays out, man, because the Rams 604 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 3: is a really good team and and I just you 605 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 3: just can never count out that Broncos defense. And obviously 606 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 3: Sean Payton's his ability to game plan and get his 607 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 3: guys in the right direction. 608 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting. I'm curious to see about it. 609 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 3: And you know what, while you're watching those games, make 610 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 3: sure you get a little bit of original Louisiana hot 611 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 3: sauce while you're doing it. It's the perfect balance of peppers, 612 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 3: vinegar and salt, wings, nachos burgers. Hit it all with 613 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 3: that Louisiana hot sauce, that original handcrafted flavor. Make sure 614 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 3: you get you something that's Louisiana hot by it all right, 615 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 3: let's get an update from Isaac Low and Crown what 616 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 3: we got going on in the world of sports. 617 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 1: Sir, you're my friend an hour one, but then you 618 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 1: know you sell me out now or two.

How you doing that, I'm 620 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:02,040 Speaker 1: doing great. 621 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 7: It's great to catch up with. 622 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 1: You, LeVar. Good to hear your voice. Man, good to. 623 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 7: See likewise, and I'm glad. I'm glad you have a 624 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 7: realistic perspective and boundary on our relationship. With you know, LeVar, 625 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 7: Here at Fox Sports Radio, we have an extensive audio library. 626 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 7: If it ever has happened in sports, We've got it. 627 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 7: I want to take you back plax to Week twelve 628 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,800 Speaker 7: of the two thousand and five season, the New York 629 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 7: Giants and the Seattle Seahawks. 630 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 2: Guys, let's listen to it. 631 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 7: Let's listen to some highlights from that game. 632 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,680 Speaker 4: Let's start, and it looks like another false start cundally. 633 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 3: Upcoming prior to the stamp post start in the offense 634 00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 3: number seventeen. Oh no, oh no, oh no, say so. 635 00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:54,360 Speaker 1: So I looked over at coach Coafflin. His face was 636 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 1: beat red. 637 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:57,479 Speaker 7: I watched you during that play. 638 00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:02,120 Speaker 2: You did not commit a false star at all. I know, man, 639 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 2: I'm looking at you. 640 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:05,440 Speaker 1: I didn't know the rule existed. 641 00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 4: So we've were trying to get back to the huddle 642 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,120 Speaker 4: to go to a huddle, and I was standing in 643 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 4: sideways facing the quarterback, and they threw a flag and 644 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 4: said I was off size. And I didn't know the rule, 645 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,320 Speaker 4: but you have to be facing forward. 646 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:20,919 Speaker 1: I didn't know that. I chalk it at two years old, 647 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 1: I didn't know that. 648 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 2: I chalk it up to jealousy. I chalk it up 649 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,200 Speaker 2: to jealousy facing forward. 650 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,280 Speaker 1: I'm like what they said, he's too tall. 651 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,400 Speaker 3: He's tall and handsome.

The championship game? 740 00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:23,360 Speaker 4: Oh man, you know, we had this conversation last weekend. 741 00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,399 Speaker 4: I just I thought that, you know, it was come 742 00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:32,759 Speaker 4: down to those couple of plays of Indiana, you know, 743 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,959 Speaker 4: being more disciplined and being able to make that one 744 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:40,319 Speaker 4: play in that football game, which nobody could. And I 745 00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,560 Speaker 4: think that the whole storyline of it is just Indiana 746 00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,239 Speaker 4: in a hole as itself. We're talking about a school man. 747 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,799 Speaker 4: It was basically the doormat of the Big Ten when 748 00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:55,439 Speaker 4: we were playing over and we know, and they've won 749 00:39:55,440 --> 00:40:01,160 Speaker 4: the Big Ten three times in Big Ten history, only 750 00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:06,960 Speaker 4: three And now you know you insert Signetti to this team, man, 751 00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,600 Speaker 4: and twenty seven and two in the last two years, 752 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:16,480 Speaker 4: your Heisman Trophy quarterback is the national champion And I 753 00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:20,720 Speaker 4: saw a picture the other day of Kurt Signetti's first 754 00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,560 Speaker 4: coach game in Indiana. There probably was about three thousand 755 00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:28,479 Speaker 4: people in the stand. Crazy, crazy, it's about three thousand people. 756 00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,359 Speaker 3: Now you can't hey, hey, Brod, Now three thousand they 757 00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:34,160 Speaker 3: standing outside chilling like you can't get a ticket to 758 00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:34,480 Speaker 3: get in. 759 00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,160 Speaker 4: Are you talking about being ranked what twentieth coming into 760 00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:42,480 Speaker 4: the season and you go sixteen? And oh, it just 761 00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:45,960 Speaker 4: does it. It doesn't make any sense of how you 762 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,759 Speaker 4: know this? He's been able just to turn this program 763 00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:53,160 Speaker 4: completely around, and now Indiana is becoming a destination for 764 00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 4: kids to go to an a portal like what just happened? 765 00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,080 Speaker 4: And I think that's the storyline of it all. Man, 766 00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:03,000 Speaker 4: It's just how this program has been, you know, reinvented 767 00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:06,200 Speaker 4: from just from top to bottom and how well coaches 768 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:08,480 Speaker 4: football team is. And it just seemed like, well they 769 00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,200 Speaker 4: didn't they didn't lose a football game. That they were 770 00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:15,759 Speaker 4: just good schematically offense and defense. They could throw it, 771 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,880 Speaker 4: they can run it, they had a top five defense 772 00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:23,320 Speaker 4: and basically every every category. And now we're looking at 773 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:28,480 Speaker 4: you know, Indiana, myself and you coming from Penn State, 774 00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:33,839 Speaker 4: coming from Michigan State, like man, Indiana is the real deal. 775 00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:35,239 Speaker 1: And so it's the Big Ten. 776 00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:37,120 Speaker 3: By the way, let me add that to it too, 777 00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:42,480 Speaker 3: for all y'all SEC fanboys out there, you know, listen, 778 00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,800 Speaker 3: say what you want, but you look at them records. 779 00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:49,200 Speaker 3: The SEC took it on the chin again this year 780 00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,759 Speaker 3: in bowl season, and the Big Ten I believe, went 781 00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,920 Speaker 3: ten and four this year in bowl games. 782 00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:55,719 Speaker 1: Just so y'all know. 783 00:41:55,760 --> 00:42:01,480 Speaker 3: And this marks the third year consecutively a row that 784 00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:04,080 Speaker 3: the Big Ten has won the national title game. 785 00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:06,280 Speaker 1: So just just putting that out. 786 00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:08,560 Speaker 3: There for for everybody to get get a little touch of, 787 00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:13,080 Speaker 3: you know, So I'll say this plex. 788 00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:14,359 Speaker 1: I thought it was. 789 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:19,719 Speaker 3: An entertaining game, you know, historical value based upon the 790 00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:23,799 Speaker 3: Canes being there. Saw so many Cane greats on the sideline. 791 00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:27,200 Speaker 3: You talk about guys that stick together post post college career. 792 00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:31,880 Speaker 3: I mean, the Canes be rolling deep.

It seems like 798 00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,239 Speaker 3: he has no signs of slowing down. Will continue to 799 00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:51,120 Speaker 3: be a big story. And I thought it was great 800 00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:54,960 Speaker 3: for college football. But what wasn't great for college football 801 00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:58,799 Speaker 3: is this transfer portal.
