Speaker 1: the official A Good Morning Football podcast and will solve

11
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: the best moment when this has been so far at

12
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Table, Championship weekend was as epic as we

13
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: had hoped, whether it was two overtimes in one day

14
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: or a questionable no call late in the game. Let's

15
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 1: find out what the Breakfast Table thought about some of

16
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 1: the biggest games from Championship weekend. Tom Bradie, what can

17
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: you say? How's every major postseason passing record there is?

18
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: TRUL fifty three is ninth, As Kyle stated so emphatically

19
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: in his third straight Super Bowl appearance in that game

20
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: is insane? What else can you say about Brady in

21
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: that game winning drive in overtime and in the fourth quarter. Really, Shrigs,

22
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: there's such a Greek theater element to this game, and

23
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: we'll go back and watch us a million times. In

24
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 1: the history of NFL films, this game will be revisited

25
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: because you have the young gun Patrick Mahomes twenty three

26
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: years old, and then you have the old guard, Tom

27
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: Brady forty one years old, and this torch that Brady

28
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: just refused to let go of. Mahomes did everything in

29
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: his possible. They scored thirty one points on thirty two

30
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: plays in the second half and overtime. The chief stayen Mahomes,

31
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: and yet Brady was better. Brady was seven of ten

32
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: and got some help from a couple of penalties. Whatever

33
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: it was when it needed it most, Brady was incredible.

34
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: That torch was not going to be passed. The Patriots

35
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: fell behind twice in the fourth quarter, and it felt

36
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: like every single time Mahomes was with an inch of

37
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: grabbing that torch, but Brady stiffed arm in classic football

38
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: fashion and said, not yet, young man. I am amazed,

39
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: amazed by the perseverance, by the fortitude, and by the

40
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: mental toughness of the Patriots despite two fourth quarter deficits

41
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: to come out and be going to their ninthser Bowl.

42
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: I said on Friday Show, I might live to regret this.

43
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: I'm taking the Chiefs. I'd live to regret this because

44
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: the Patriots are that good and that strong upstairs. What

45
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: a team, what a performance, and young Sailor, your time

46
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: will come, just not yet. It wasn't meant to be. Yeah,

47
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: Tom Brady looked at Pat Mahomes and said, you're gonna

48
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: have to pry this from my cold dead fingers, right,

49
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what happened in this game. That final

50
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: drive in overtime just phenomenal for me. It was the

51
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 1: ball placement of Tom Brady hitting his wide receivers and

52
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: playmakers when they count it. I mean these balls to

53
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman. We could talk about the catches. I can

54
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: praise Julian Edelman. I can tell you that he should

55
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: be a Hall of Famer outside of the goat Jerry Rice,

56
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 1: he's the best postseason wide receiver of all times. That's fine,

57
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: But where he was catching these balls and where these

58
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: balls are placed, because it was great coverage by the

59
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. When you look at these guys, they

60
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: were in perfect placement, this window right here to Grunk

61
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: amazing the leading over time and then leading to Rex

62
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: burgerhead to finish it in the end zone. For me,

63
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: it's not just about Tom Brady and the play calling

64
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: or his IQ. If you have any questions that this

65
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: old man at forty one still has in his arm

66
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: can compete with the young guns, yeah, he still has

67
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 1: the cannon of an arm, and Tom Brady went out

68
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: there and proved it. So for me, it was it

69
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: was a combination of everything that we praised the Patriots for.

70
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: Great play calling, the formations and movement behind a line

71
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, the variety of plays called. But then Tom

72
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: Brady his IQ along with his arm, torching that defense

73
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: to take his team into the end zone win the game.

74
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: The final drive was so Patriots it hurts. I mean

75
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: it really hurts. You know, these major Fortune five hundred

76
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: companies will have their corporate conference every year and say

77
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: what they're all about as a brand, and they'll show

78
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: these videos and they'll play Time of your Life by

79
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: green Day and get that last drive was the corporate

80
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: conference for the Patriots. And this isn't it just so

81
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: perfect that on a day where we saw tyreek Hill

82
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: taking out of the game. Michael Thomas minimized Todd Gurley's

83
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: on a bike on the sideline. Rex Birkhead is scoring

84
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: the game winning touchdown, his second touchdown. It's the final drive,

85
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: third and nine. Edelman for twenty third and tied for

86
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: third and ten. Gronk, Gronk, Gronk. It was everything that

87
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: Patriots do. And there's a video that they braided it

88
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: afterwards with Gronk because the two of them walking in

89
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 1: the tunnel after the game with these goofy smiles on

90
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: their face and so we ain't go no where. It

91
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: was just them showing the world this is us, this

92
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: is our company. We're worth billions. Too bad you can't

93
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: beat us. It was so Patriots at hearts. Going back

94
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: to the fourth quarter drive, Chiefs take the lead. The

95
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: first thing I think of, I think is what every

96
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 1: American person with the pulse is thinking. You left him

97
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 1: too much time, and it's just what you think. And

98
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: then after the game, Brian Hoyer says he had that

99
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: look in his eye. Devin mccordy says, the second I

100
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: saw his heads, I went to the bench and I said,

101
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: I've seen this story before. Julian Edelman saying it's in

102
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: his DNA. It's a clutch gene. This is now his

103
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: ninth fourth quarter comeback in the playoffs, blowing everybody else

104
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: out of the water, beating all the records. You could

105
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: potentially have six rings here. At what point are we

106
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: just going to enjoy what this is because I feel

107
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: like twenty years from now you're gonna be telling Mini

108
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: Tron about Tom Brady and this happening back then. I'm

109
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: just enjoying the ride. I'm buckling up. I'm here for

110
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: the Patriots super bowls. I love them. People want to

111
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: roll their eyes. I think they mean more. I absolutely

112
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: do explain that the Eagles won the Super Bowl last

113
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: year was so incredibly special. So much of what we

114
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: talked about with the Nick Foles and all that was

115
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: because they beat Brady. If they had the Patriots had

116
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: won the title game last year, the Eagles were gone

117
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: through the Jaguars. It's you're winning the Super Bowl in

118
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: the Sarah, and then there's winning the Super Bowl against

119
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: the Patriots. I think it means more. Maybe the Ramps

120
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: can do it. And let this sink in for a second.

121
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: Tom Brady going to his nice Super Bowl. That's more

122
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: than thirty one other teams. And how about that for greatness.

123
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: So the league office, not far from here, a couple

124
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: of blocks hopping a skip admits that they missed the calling. Guys,

125
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: what's your action? Win this one down and having I

126
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: don't if any of a sleft for the cap of

127
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: minutes to sort of soak in far as out what

128
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: it's just incredibly infamous. Infamous. I mean the two most

129
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 1: frozen moments in the history of that place. I think

130
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: of the Steve Gleeson block and then a kel Robie

131
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: Coleman mugging. I will call it that. Normally you do

132
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: this on a Monday morning, do what I call referee radio.

133
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 1: You go to the phones. Would you think of the call?

134
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: This guy likes this guy, there's no referee radio. It

135
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,559
Speaker 1: was objectively horrible and wrong, And immediately people are starting

136
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: to say, was this the worst call ever? Was just

137
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: the biggest blown call in league history. I look at

138
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: it this way. If you look at the tuck rule call,

139
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: that was a misinterpretation of a very confusing, convoluted rule.

140
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: If you look at the fail Mary in Seattle dual possession,

141
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: strange moment with replacement officials. This is the best refs

142
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: we got in the biggest moment, in the easiest call

143
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: of all time that could have gone two ways. Nickel

144
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 1: Robie Coleman himself afterwards freely admitted, of course I was

145
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: beat I hit him. It was it was a penalty.

146
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: I just look at it this way. The referees are

147
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: sometimes like quarterbacks or kickers or receivers, the human element

148
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: overtakes them. My only theory is there is that someone

149
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: did not want to be the guy to throw the

150
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,119
Speaker 1: flag in the moment to cost someone the super Bowl,

151
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: and in doing so, I think cost someone the super Bowl.

152
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: Payton's right, throw the flag there. The game is over,

153
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: the Saints are winning it. It's a historically bad officiating

154
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: non call. And if Saints fans want their pound of

155
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: flesh this morning, they are so justified having I know

156
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: you're waiting for the butt in all this, and there

157
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: is a button all this, the button all this. So

158
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: you're up thirteen nothing at home, you had four possessions

159
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, and overtime you scored three points.

160
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: You had the ball first in overtime. These two things

161
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: are separate. Vinovich and his crew blew the call. It

162
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: was a pass interference that wasn't thrown, and it was

163
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: also a helmet to helmet. Sean Payton one hundred percent right,

164
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: and the millions of Saints fans who are outrage this

165
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: morning are justified. You should be beyond outrage. Like Kyle said,

166
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: it might be the historically worst miscall in the history

167
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: of sport. On the other end of it, though, I

168
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: have such a hard time pinning an entire, not sixty minute,

169
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:03,679
Speaker 1: but seven minute game on one non flag. The Rams

170
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: came back from being down thirteen nothing on the road

171
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: in the hardest of elements, did not have the ball

172
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: first in overtime, and found a way to escape the

173
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: superdom in New Orleans with a victory. Does the call

174
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: help their cause? Of course, it helps their calls the

175
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: games over if the flag is thrown. But please, this morning,

176
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: in doing this, let's not take away from the fact

177
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: that the Rams found a way to win that game

178
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: as well. It was a horrible call or horrible non call, yes,

179
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: but the Rams had an amazing win as well. I

180
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: feel bad for the Saints players. I feel bad for

181
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: the Saints fans. There were moments in this game where

182
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: flags weren't thrown, and I was yelling at the TV

183
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: screen saying, this isn't the NBA playoffs in the nineties.

184
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: You can't just let guys play in football. That's not

185
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: what we do in the NFL. So frustration for those

186
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: Saints fans for sure, and you're very validated for filling

187
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: that way. But Shrais, you hit it. And even Sean

188
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,719
Speaker 1: Payton hit it. After the game, he said, we had

189
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: our moments. You're up thirteen at home, put the game away.

190
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: There's moments within that game where you could have shoved

191
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: the Rams facing the ground and you didn't. The final drive,

192
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: they're going down to score and you throw the ball

193
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: on first down, the clock stops. If you run the

194
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: ball for three plays straight, you milked that clock down,

195
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: forcing the Rams to use the time out. Jared Goff,

196
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 1: the young quarterback and his third year, has forty seconds

197
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: to go all the way down the field to put

198
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: his team in field position to kick a field goal

199
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: to take it over. Instead, he has over a minute

200
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: one forty or so. So there's moments within this game

201
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: where you could look in the mirror and say that's

202
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: on me. Of course, you could take a snapshot and

203
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: blame the rest. I could do that every game for

204
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: the course of my eleven year career. I never did that.

205
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: If I'm a player, I'm mad. I'm frustrated if I'm

206
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 1: playing for the Saints. But the way I do it,

207
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: you could be mad at me if you want. If

208
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: you're safe fans because they've been lightening up my dms

209
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: and hit me up on Twitter. I would also look

210
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: in the mirror ask myself what plays could I have made?

211
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: What plays could we have made to change the outcome

212
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: of the game? So what wasn't in the rest's hands.

213
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to be dismissed to the Rams, because

214
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: I'm not going to sit here and say for the

215
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: next two weeks the wrong team got in because they

216
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: didn't the right team got in. The Rams deserve to

217
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: be in the super Bowl, and let's give them credit.

218
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: Will you be frustrated for an entire year? Yes, because

219
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: the Saints were the best team in football and they'll

220
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: be sitting at home watching the Super Bowl like us.

221
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about this play a lot, but one

222
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 1: play never, I repeat, never determines the outcome of a game.

223
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: This one kind of did the thing about looking at

224
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: the mirror and taking believing a lot of players did

225
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: what us like Cam Jordan did that and he said

226
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: you could have done things or whatever, it's on you.

227
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: Then this wasn't on them. This was a call that

228
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: wasn't made. So I can't speak from a player perspective.

229
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: As a fan watching this, if you're a Saints fan,

230
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: if you're an NFL fan, you're giving hours of your

231
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: life every Sunday, Monday, Thursday, sometimes Saturday one hundreds of

232
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 1: dollars on gear tickets. And what you want to return

233
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 1: in that relationship is trust. You want. All you want

234
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: is for them to get the call right. And it

235
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: didn't happen, and so then you're dealing with a trust

236
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 1: issue with the league. I will say this, I give

237
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: the NFL a ton of credit for having the accountability

238
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: of saying it's a bad call, because they for coming

239
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: out and admitting it's a problem. And Sean Payton right

240
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: away quickly at an emotional moment of the post game,

241
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: brought up those league meetings. Something has to change. And

242
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: I feel like, even as a fan but also sitting

243
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: in this unique position at this breakfast table every morning,

244
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: I see how the league changes. But when they to

245
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 1: the catch rule widely successful this year because they looked

246
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: at it, stuted over made some changes. Something has to

247
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: be done here and I hope that this is the thing.

248
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: Unfortunately at the Saints expense to sort of catalyze that.

249
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's more more refs on the field,

250
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's replay all of that, but

251
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: something has to be done. Okay, there were some miscalls

252
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,719
Speaker 1: that benefit at the Saints. So like, we can't sit

253
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: here and say one call changes the game. Because there

254
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: were calls that benefit at the New Orleans Saints. It

255
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 1: didn't change the game for them. What did you say

256
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: they would have won? Sure? Well on it almore, they don't.

257
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: We don't know the game now the matchup. Finally we're

258
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: down to the two. When you hear Patriots, Rams, what

259
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 1: do you think of? I need the building size poster

260
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: of Belichick's face and mcvay's I just need it. I mean,

261
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 1: this is like the Emperor and Luke, This is Taiwan

262
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: and Jamie, this is Jack Horner and JJ Abrams. That's

263
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: like the Old Guard and the Young Star. There's there's

264
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: often when we see these games later on, when they

265
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: take out the micd up segments. They'll be like the

266
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: two head coaches on the field before the game, just

267
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: sort of making idle chatter like they're in a bad date.

268
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 1: I'm so interested in it because belija are you guys

269
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: are doing a great job there, and I mean, you know,

270
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: Peter McVay is yeah coach for doing it for years,

271
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: and like it's gonna be such an interesting collision. And

272
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: if the Rams win this thing, oh man, we are

273
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: living on planet McVay. They're gonna change the name of Earth.

274
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: It's planet McVay. It's his world, it's his galaxy. Look out. Unbelievable.

275
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: Speaking of interesting collision, how about Brady and Golf. You know,

276
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: we know that Brady is the goat, right and we're

277
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 1: gonna continue to praise him for everything that he's done

278
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: in this league and golf. At one point they said

279
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: this dude was a bust. How many people can say

280
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: that and then move on and have a successful season

281
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: Last year this year play amazing, But still even within

282
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: this season, we wanted to give every other player on

283
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: the Rams team credit except for Golf, Like we just

284
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: didn't mention his name. So there's so many better quarterbacks

285
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: in McVey. Now, I imagine what happens if Golf goes

286
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: and beats Brady. I know this will be planet McVeigh,

287
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: but it's gonna be Golf's world as well, because we're

288
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 1: gonna be sitting there saying, well, what does this mean

289
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: for this young man's legacy? So for me, it's the

290
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 1: ultimate legacy talk. Is Brady gonna stamp and continue to

291
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: write this dynasty that he's been writing forever? Or is

292
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: it going to be Golf that's opening up a new

293
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 1: chapter in his life? And he's gonna basically shock the

294
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: entire football world. Youngest quarterback to ever start a Super

295
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: Bowl will be Jared Goff's right, and Tom Brady will

296
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: be the oldest to ever start a Super Bowl. Stuff

297
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: right there. But I'm gonna look more at the history

298
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: of the Patriots and where it all began. Began against

299
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,839
Speaker 1: the Rams in the Super Bowl, and that team had

300
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 1: Kurt Warner and Marshall Falk and Tory Hole and Isaac

301
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: Bruce and Ozakim and Ricky Prole and the list went

302
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: on and on, and this young pup Brady found a

303
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: way in the fourth quarter with very little time remaining

304
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: to get them all the way downfield in field goal position,

305
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: and Adam Vanezieri send it through the uprights. Look, if

306
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: this is and I'm not implying that I know anything,

307
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: the last Waltz or the last rodeo or whateveryone, the

308
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: final countdown and the final would be more fitting then

309
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: going up against the team where it all started. And

310
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: this I'm not saying it's done, but if it is

311
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: kind of symmetrical, I'm not saying it's the last, but

312
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: if it were, it does kind of make sense. Yeah,

313
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: it was an emotionally exhausting date, right for everybody watching

314
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: the ups and downs of it. And then when you

315
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: sit back and you look at the two teams, the

316
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: first thing I thought of was what's more impressive which team,

317
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: let's just say past three years. Is it the Patriots

318
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: who've gotten there for three consecutive years, the stability, have

319
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: the pedigree that they have, or is it the Rams

320
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: who are a four and twelve team in twenty sixteen

321
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: who had a decade of not having a winning record

322
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: leading up to that. Golf looked not good. I would

323
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: just say he did not look like a great quarterback.

324
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: The first year was drafted in twenty sixteen. So for

325
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: them over the last three years to make the changes

326
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: they did it, to have McVay come in there and retool,

327
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: for them to vamp up, for them to add the

328
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: two leaves and the Sues and the Brandon Cooks and

329
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: all the guys that they did. What's what's more impressive.

330
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's the first thing I thought of.

331
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: It's the RAMS McVeigh. I'm this is may just sound

332
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: the ground control. That's where all living not scared. I

333
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: think it's the RAMS that sounds like a segment. Sounds

334
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: like a segment. We'll talk about it tomorrow. Rams Defense

356
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: We cannot wait for the Super Bowl, of course, But

357
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: what was the game changing play in your opinion? In

358
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: the NFC Championship. There were so many games, so many

359
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: players you can point to in this game, but I

360
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: would have to say overtime Drew Brees the Saints, they

361
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: have the ball, Dante Fowler gets the Drew Brees and

362
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 1: that ball floats up and John Johnson the third he

363
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: intercepts the Rocks. So for me, this was the play

364
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,479
Speaker 1: that was the game changing. I mean, I get it.

365
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: You know, if you're a Saints fan, you're gonna look

366
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: back at the no call, there's the fake punt for

367
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: the Rams, but it's overtime. You have a chance to

368
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: win it. Go down and win it. Credit to the

369
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: Rams for putting pressure on Drew Brees, enforcing Drew Brees

370
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 1: to do something we haven't seen a ton this season,

371
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: which is throw an interception. So this, for me, was

372
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: the ultimate game changing play. To play Devil's advocate here

373
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: because you could say, okay, but this doesn't even happen

374
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: if the non call happens. To your point, Brady got

375
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,679
Speaker 1: the ball in overtime and let his team on a

376
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 1: touchdown drive and left No Romes never saw the field.

377
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: So if you have the overtime, regardless of everything that

378
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 1: happened the situation, you can't tell me. If you're a

379
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 1: Saints fan, once you got the flip and you knew

380
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: you had the ball on overtime, you didn't feel good

381
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 1: about life. You're like, Okay, well we didn't get the

382
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: note call, but the football god's smiling down on us.

383
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: All we have to do is go down to score

384
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: and we win this game. They didn't. So, like I said,

385
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: if you're a player, you look in the mirror and say,

386
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: what could I have done better? You know what you

387
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 1: could have done, could have went down to score a

388
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 1: touchdown and won the game. I hear that, man. I'm

389
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 1: gonna go back to the beginning of the game a

390
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,479
Speaker 1: little context. The Rams came out Offensively had nothing. They

391
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: were really flat. Curly was off, He's dropping passes. He

392
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: said after the game, I played sorry. They didn't have it,

393
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 1: and it was like the game's gonna get a hand fast,

394
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 1: and they said, we gotta do something. We gotta break

395
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 1: this cycle. Second quarter, they have a fourth and five

396
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: and they dive up the fake punt we've been talking about,

397
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,719
Speaker 1: which is incredible. This is Johnny Hacker, who maybe the

398
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 1: goat punt passer of all things. This is not golf

399
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 1: to Cooks. This is Hecker. Do Sam Shields, a thirty

400
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: one year old backup dB who missed the entire twenty

401
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: seventeen season. There's your story. And again, guys, look at

402
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: they're on the thirty yard line. If this is dropped,

403
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: if Shields catches it in exactly, I think the game's over.

404
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: There's also no other options. He's the only one outline.

405
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: He gets tackled right there, breaks to tackle and get

406
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 1: out of it. When you look at it from that

407
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: all twenty two that was option ABCDE was all Sam Shields.

408
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: It was the only option. It's the execution, it's the call,

409
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: John bones Fossil. He told Mike Silver after it was said,

410
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: thirteen people in the world knew that was happening, me,

411
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: the eleven guys in the field and McVeigh. They did it.

412
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: If that's picked off or dropped, breeze turns around, gets

413
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 1: a touch on, it's nineteen twenty to nothing. I think

414
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: that's a rap. I want. I want to double down

415
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: on the special teams, which I think was such a

416
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 1: huge part of this game, and for me, the biggest

417
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: play of the game was the zerline fifty seven yard.

418
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: Fifty seven yard fieldals don't happen. They don't happen a

419
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: regular season. They certainly don't happen in the biggest of

420
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: moments on the road in the Superdome. It's the longest

421
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: game winning field goal in postseason history. Nate, you made

422
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 1: a great point earlier in the show. If they missed this,

423
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: the Saints not only get the ball, they get the

424
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: ball at the fifty and they can come right and

425
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: they get their own field goal. But here's what I

426
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: want to go a little bit under the peel the onion.

427
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: A little bit back, you mentioned John Bones Fossil. When

428
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: Sean McVeagh got the job, he had a whole coaching

429
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: staff that came with him. He had Wade Phillips, he

430
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: had Joe Barry, he had all those guys, Lafleur, he

431
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: had all his guys. They were all coming with him.

432
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 1: And the Rams brass said, okay, well, what do you

433
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: want to do with John Fossil. He's a holdover from

434
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: the old regime, from Jeff Fisher, he was the interim coach.

435
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: And Sean McVay said, let me get to know him,

436
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 1: let me meet him. If he's the best man for

437
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: the job, I will keep him. He is the loan

438
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 1: holdover in that kind of coordinator role. He kept him

439
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 1: because he thought he was the best Special So kudos

440
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 1: to Fossil for the call, Kudos to Hecker and all that.

441
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: Kudos to McVeigh for saying, I'm not going to bring

442
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,719
Speaker 1: my but I'd bring guy I've never met before. But

443
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:41,360
Speaker 1: if you guys say he's the guy for this job,

444
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: I will keep him. Special Teams was awesome for the

445
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,439
Speaker 1: Rams yesterday. Shout out to fossil shout out to McVeigh

446
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 1: and of course the players who got the job bones

447
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: had been there forever. So going into this one, I

448
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: think people looked at the four quarterbacks and it was

449
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 1: which one doesn't belong, which one's not like the other.

450
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: And you think, Jared Goffin, I said it last week,

451
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 1: there's going to be a point in this game where

452
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 1: it's not going to be rely on the run. It's

453
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: not gonna be cg Anderson. He's gonna have a step

454
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 1: up a make a throw. And he did that down

455
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: the stretch when it meant the most in hostile territory

456
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 1: without help from his run game. I'm talking about a

457
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 1: single play, fourth quarter, third and three, Rams are on

458
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 1: their sixteen yard line. Here he scrambles. I don't even

459
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: know what's about to have it. I'm freaking out, makes

460
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,120
Speaker 1: the throw to Gerald Everett. It was awesome in traffic,

461
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: thirty nine yard games setting up that field goal. He

462
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: led two game time drives in the fourth quarter and

463
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: obviously the game winning drive in overtime as well. It's

464
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,199
Speaker 1: just such credit to him being able to put the

465
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: team on his back when he needed to to get

466
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: it done. So impressive and he changed my mind as

467
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 1: far as he needs to be in that conversation with

468
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: those other three guys that were in Championships on day cale,

469
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: we knew inevitably was going to come down. Does Jared

470
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: Goff have a moment or not? McVay can't throw the passes,

471
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 1: Marcus Peter sue they're not out there. Does Goff have

472
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: a big boy moment? And he did right before that

473
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: snap you called it also goes over and runs over

474
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 1: to Gerald Everett. We've never seen that when they call

475
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: it time out and say calm down and get it done.

476
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: K that play there was huge waited perfectly until Everett

477
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,199
Speaker 1: was open and got Everett had to uncover. That wasn't planned.

478
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 1: That was at Grambull rule play at living which we

479
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: see from other quarterbacks right, not Jared Goff. He proved

480
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: that he can do it. It was a wow play

481
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,360
Speaker 1: needs did nut buckle on the diving board to use

482
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 1: your words? Oh Jared Goff, what a night for him?

483
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 1: How much credit does he deserve for this win? Clutch

484
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 1: moments down the stretch in hostile territory, the most hostile

485
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 1: handing Drew Brees and Peyton champaign their first playoff loss together.

486
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: I go into the week as we were heading into it,

487
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: and I think we're talking about Mahomes and Brady Drew

488
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: Brees's legacy and the Rams, Like we didn't talk Jared

489
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 1: Goff and mc conversation. You talk McVeigh. Jared Goff. MAT's

490
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 1: really clutch plays here. And to do it in that

491
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 1: building with that crowd noise was like beating two teams. Yesterday.

492
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: He had to beat the Saints defense and he also

493
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 1: had to beat the Superdome crowd. I thought Jared Goff

494
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: had an amazing performance. And to have the mental toughness

495
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: to be down thirteen nothing on the road with that

496
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 1: noise is to find a way that tells me all

497
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: I need to know. He's the youngest quarterback going on

498
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl and I think he's got a shot

499
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: to win it. He has it. We learned that Jared

500
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 1: Goff has it. I was living in LA when the

501
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: Rams drafted golf and I'll never forget going down the

502
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: four or five freeway and there's a billboard on it

503
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: and it was his face and it was just not

504
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 1: very animate. It was just a face and it says

505
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: something like feel the fever It's just stared golf like this,

506
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 1: and I was like, how about those Dodgers? You know,

507
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: I was just it didn't feel like it had the

508
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 1: sizzle or the presence. A few years later, I think

509
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 1: he was better than Drew Brees in that game, especially

510
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: in the second half. I think he went to Drew

511
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: Brees house and played better. He has it. I've never

512
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 1: seen that before. We counted him out after that Bear's loss.

513
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 1: He was awesome in big moments last night. I do

514
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: feel the fever. Yeah, Jared Goff being the other guy

515
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: out of these quarterback it predates yesterday. Think about the

516
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: playoffs when it started. We're talking about Russell Wilson, Dak Prescott,

517
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: We're talking about Nick Philip Rivers, Nick Foles, we were

518
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: talking about Lamar Jackson. He was the other guy out

519
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: of all these qbs, and yet he finds himself in

520
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: a super Bowl going up against the Goat. I'm glad

521
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: for Jared Goff because he was almost the other guy

522
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: on his team. Now he can look at his peers

523
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: and say, I'm the main reason, the main reason why

524
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 1: we're here. He's the opposite Nick Foles, who's unrattable. Right,

525
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 1: he got up early and he's somehow spiraled out of

526
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: control towards the end of the game. Resiliency with Jared

527
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: Goff opposite down, you're down big and you come back

528
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 1: against all odds when you can't even hear anything. It's

529
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: pretty remarkable stuff from mister Goff and company. So much

530
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: to unpack. Well, we're always here to learn new things

531
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: each week. It Championship weekend was no different. Here's where

532
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: the Breakfast table learned from the action in Championship weekend.

533
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: I learned something interesting over the last twenty four hours

534
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: that this Super Bowl is a rematch. And I don't

535
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: mean the Patriots rams from back in the day. I

536
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: mean Gold Flashes versus RedHawks. What am I talking about?

537
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 1: We all know Julian Aedeman was a college quarterback. We

538
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: talked about it all the time. He was incredible and

539
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: we even have a little bit of tape. Just sit

540
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 1: back and enjoy this. The clutchous receivers in NFL history

541
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 1: doing his thing on the college level. Roll them action.

542
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 1: So he's incredible, right. I love that we have Mac

543
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: played by a plan that's Edelman. Well, here's what's interesting.

544
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: You noticed he was going against Miami of Ohio. There,

545
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: I want to take you back to Kent State versus

546
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 1: Miami of Ohio in two thousand and six. It was

547
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: at Yager Stadium for ten thousand, four hundred and eighty

548
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: six spectators. Why don't we take a look at the

549
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 1: final score a score screen we do here at the

550
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: end of my highlight two thousand and six Kent Stavers

551
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 1: in miam Ohio, sixteen fourteen Kent State. You see Adam

552
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:46,640
Speaker 1: there at the top. Look down at Miami of Ohio.

553
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 1: See quarterback Mike cocol the running back Murphy. Look at

554
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: the wide receiver with four catches for forty seven yards.

555
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: That would be Sean mcvain, the head coach of the

556
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Rams. You also caught a two point conversion

557
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: from Mike Cocole. Let's take a look at him. That's

558
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: my coats number eighteen. Sean McVay, the college boy. I

559
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 1: can practically see the sock on the door knob. McVay

560
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,719
Speaker 1: never changed. Now hever s what's funny these two guys. Oh,

561
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,199
Speaker 1: it's pretty cool. They got in the same field the

562
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: same time. There was a rematch the very next year,

563
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven. It's again Gold Flashes versus RedHawks.

564
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: Show me the score again, because guys, this went back

565
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: and forth and Edelman's doing his thing in McVay. This

566
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 1: time Miami wins Miami of Ohio. Again. Look at McVay,

567
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: a workman like three catches for thirty seven yards while

568
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: Edelman's to sixty throwing ninety three rushing. So what we

569
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: have here in the Super Bowl? We got a rubber

570
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: match between these two gentlemen. Yeah, we got the bloat,

571
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: dry and the wet. Look Nate, what do you think?

572
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 1: What is going on? Two? Detective Season four, U five

573
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: Otter duo. Oh wait, before we get to the Super

574
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 1: Bowl action, we gotta settle some action. And let me

575
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 1: tell you the Gold Flash Nation will be out consistent

576
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,800

Speaker 1: Eugene Jarvis, that running back Eugene Jarvis, Peter out of

578
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:22,359

00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 1: Ron Zook and Eagles guard Brandon Brooks. You're sitting around

00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 1: little Owen Wilson on the left. It's I don't know

594
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 1: what it is. We'll talk about a commercialibs some theories

595
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:23,359

596
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:27,960

599
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,360
Speaker 1: they're gonna asked about it. An Edelman Amickham will both

600
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: be asked. And I know that McBay will remember every

601
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 1: single play. Yeah, three kids for thirty seven yards. One

602
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: was overthrown on fourth and tennis. He'll have the whole recall.

603
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: I got it here. Edilement will do the I was

604
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: just trying to get better every day. We got a

605
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: game on Sunday, Coach. I'm not worried about that. I'm

606
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: just worried about these rams right at all. I can't wait.

607
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: What a great memory and go get them what I learned. Well, first,

608
00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: I'll throw some numbers out of two seventy three, one one,

609
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: one fifty five, one seventy six. Those are the past

610
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: rushing totals from the last four games. What about ninety four?

611
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: That's the number of past attempts Brady has had without

612
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: getting sacked. That is insane. And that goes back to

613
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: their week seventeen matchup against the Jets and time out.

614
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: I'm talking about which pass rushers, Melvin Ingram, Joey Bosa,

615
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: Mister Houston, Chris Jones, all of them. How about the

616
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: name Trent Brown. Let's introduce those guys to you. Joe Tuney,

617
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: David Andrew Shack, Mason, Marcus Cannon. These are the five dudes.

618
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: The block of velvita cheese that are protecting Tom Brady.

619
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: It's the offensive line. And this is I mean, in

620
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: my opinion, why they're going to the Super Bowl. They're

621
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: keeping this offense moving forward for New England, opening opening

622
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: holes for the running back Sony Michelle and company, or

623
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: keeping Brady super protective. He's not protected. He's not gotten

624
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: touched this postseason. These five guys are household or should

625
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: be household names, at least they certainly are in New

626
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: England playing a bigger role to help his team get

627
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl. And it's all about the coach.

628
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: That's what we learned, is it's all about seventy year

629
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: old Dante Scarnecki as a guy who's been with the

630
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: Patriots through all of their Super Bowls. No guys, not

631
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: just the Brady ones. I'm talking Parcels Beck in eighty five.

632
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: And Brady even said yesterday is the greatest offensive coach,

633
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: offensive line coach in the history of the NFL. This

634
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: is the guy Belichick and I worked up here during

635
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: those years. He called him and I don't know what

636
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: magic he wore, Jedi magic to pull him out of

637
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: retirement to help protect Brady after they went into Mile

638
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: High and Brady got beat up in the twenty fifteen

639
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: AFC Championship game. Trust me, working up there, you'd never

640
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: thought you'd heard so much about an offensive line coach

641
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: and the old line, the team that fans missed him

642
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: day in day out. So when you see that guy

643
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: turning seventy one, you know, I mean, it's incredible what

644
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: he's been able to do. When you see Tom Brady,

645
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: you know that that smile, he looks like a kid.

646
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: He's running out there like he's never done it before.

647
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: Death smile and that demeanors because he knows that he's protective.

648
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: He has an offensive line in front of him. So

649
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: I'm looking at this week and Dominican sue Aaron Donald,

650
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: I'm not worried right now as we stand, giving how

651
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 1: this postseason shaken out because of those guys in front

652
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: of Frady. Right now, I'm not worried about it. Right now,

653
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: Brady's elite scrambling ability that's protecting him. Right He's getting

654
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: the ball out in two seconds, two point five, and

655
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: then he's also got guys who were playing out of

656
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: their minds. He didn't get sacked once, and they always

657
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: say you gotta hit Brady in order to beat him.

658
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: Easier said than done. Yeah right, seven years old. Sounds

659
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: like a renaissance painter. I like him. He was the

660
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: interim head coach at one point two in the nineties.

661
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: Love him, coach Dante, Protect that man. We all know

662
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: guys are terrible at taking care of their health. I'm

663
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: guilty of it myself. Well, there's a knee injury, bad back,

664
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: or something worse. Guys are usually more comfortable rubbing some

665
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: dirt on it than seeing a doctor. Well, the same

666
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: is true for erectile dysfunction. Studies show seventy percent of

667
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: guys who experience e ED don't get treated for it. Thankfully,

668

Speaker 1: online visit. That's Roman dot com slash good morning. All Right,

682
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: what I learned this week is at the Patriots backfield

683
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 1: and basically the four horsemen of the Apocalys, except instead

684
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: of war, famine, conquests, and death, the four writers are

685
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: named Michael, Birkhead, White, and Devlin. These guys combined for

686
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty eight total yards four tds on

687
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Chiefs. So let's break this thing all down. Okay.

688
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: First up, we got Sony Michelle, the jazz Man. Now,

689
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 1: he's been a beast in the backfield all season, but

690
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: he stepped up in the playoffs two hundred and forty

691
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 1: two rushing yards five touchdowns in just two games. He's

692
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: also on the list alongside four Hall of famers who

693
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: have multiple games with at least one hundred yards and

694
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: two tds in a single postseason game. Oh indeed, I

695
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: mentioned dude is a rookie all right. Next, we got

696
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: Rex Birkehead fifty three yards rushing, three touchdowns, and a

697
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: perfect four for four catching passes. Birkehead became only the

698
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: second player in NFL history checked this out to score

699
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: both in the fourth quarter in the overtime in the

700
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: same postseason game. The only other guy the third dude

701
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: on this list, James White. Listen. White is no stranger

702
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: to postseason success for the Patriots winner and this year

703
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: is no different. He's already racked up a career high

704
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: nine catches in this postseason converted six first downs on

705
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: just ten touches against the Chiefs. Dude is an absolute beast.

706
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,280
Speaker 1: And finally, there's James Devlin. He might be my favorite.

707
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: Whether it's providing a lead block for a runner, adding

708
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 1: extra protection for Tom Brady, He's been one of the

709
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 1: silent contributors to this backfield while adding four tds rushing

710
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: this season. So what does this mean for Super Bowl

711
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: fifty three? Listen, I expect New England to hit the

712
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: ground running because they're one of the scariest backfields this

713
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: league has ever seen. They might not get the credit,

714
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 1: but you guys should pay attention to that backfield because

715
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:38,800
Speaker 1: they are holding down the Patriots and the main reason

716
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: why they're in Atlanta. Guys, Wrath, the Super Bowl is

717
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 1: more than just the fifty three guys and the coaches.

718
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 1: It's also the office staff, It's the fans, the family

719
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 1: of everyone involved, and it's guys like Ted Wrath. Everyone

720
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: plays a role. Keep an eye out for that Jack

721
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: dude who is grabbing McVeigh and dancing with with him

722
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,879
Speaker 1: like the tango on Super Bowl Sunday. Keep him out

723
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: of the way from the officials. Ted Rath, we see you.

724
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 1: We know your job is much more than that, but

725
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 1: on Sunday, that's an important role and you do it well.

726
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: This is so relatable because every level of football, down

727
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: to little kids. Every team has a getback coach at

728
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 1: high school, junior high anything. It's always a very important thing.

729
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: Who get the players the coach. I've never seen one

730
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 1: who pays personal attention to the head coach like a baby.

731
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: And by the way, is Ted Rath and made up

732
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 1: name because that's the greatest Name's Rath. I mean, actually

733
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 1: be in the weight room Rath. Listen that he was

734
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: one of my weight room coaches. And this is a

735
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 1: great American story because in Detroit, he was a weight

736
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 1: room assistant and now he's one of the head guys.

737
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: And Peter, you said it beautifully. He's not just a

738
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 1: weight room guy. He has a ton of duties there.

739
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 1: We can go through a long laundry list of what

740
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,400
Speaker 1: he does during the week and on game day. And

741
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: I'll say this, he's highly sought after. There's a lot

742
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: of teams that are looking at Ted Rath and say,

743
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 1: we don't want a Ted Rath, we want Ted Rath.

744
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 1: So hopefully he stays with the Los Angeles Rams and

745
00:35:57,840 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 1: they appreciate him by paying him a little bit more.

746
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:01,839
Speaker 1: But a lot of teams are looking after him right now.

747
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 1: I could watch that video one hundred times, Shrigs. It's

748
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,439
Speaker 1: so funny. It's like he picks him up and puts

749
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: him in his chiding kid trying to wheezle away in

750
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: like nope, get back here, Nope, Kyle, What do you

751
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,879
Speaker 1: think it's like being Sean mcvay's personal trainer at five

752
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 1: am Pacific time? What are those sessions? Like? So hard,

753
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: so aggressive? Field Ted's wrath and I bet like they

754
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 1: wants it too. Of course, it's kind of there's gonna

755
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: be a head coach in this league. Yes, he knows McVay.

756
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 1: He's gonna take the dolphin shot head coach. He knows mcveay. Intimately.

757
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,879
Speaker 1: It's incredible the hook out there in la As He's sping.

758
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: Much more to come on Good Morning Football. Let's talk

759
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 1: about Todd Gurley. Ted Wrath. Wrath is the man. He

760
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: is a true legend here in Los Angeles. Well, there

761
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 1: are plenty of questions that need answers ahead of the

762
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. So their breakfast table, heasted journalism school to

763
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 1: break down some of the biggest question marks around the league.

764
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: Super Bowl fifty three is right around the corner, and

765
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 1: here come the questions ahead of Rams and Patriots. Mike

766
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 1: erfol brought his notebooks. Let's take him to school. This

767
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: is journalism one O one. First question, two awesome teams

768
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 1: squaring off, of course in Atlanta. Where does the greatest

769
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:12,399
Speaker 1: weakness among either super full team? Lie? I would say, God,

770
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 1: I hate saying weaknesses. These teams are so good there.

771
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 1: I would say that the Rams pension to play a

772
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 1: little bit more zone defense might hurt them a little

773
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 1: bit here because you got a man up the Patriots.

774
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 1: If you want to do something against Tom Brady frees

775
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: you up. Maybe you can bring an extra blitzer or whatever.

776
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 1: But if you just sit there and zone the whole game,

777
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 1: my man's gonna pick you apart. A matter of fact,

778
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,399
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams, friend of the show from the New York Jets,

779
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,879
Speaker 1: tweeting the other day about the Chiefs just sitting there

780
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: playing zone, says, you can't do that against Brady. You've

781
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 1: got a mixed up. You got to play man. So

782
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: I'm not saying these guys can't play man, say they're

783
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 1: gonna maybe have to lean a little bit more on that,

784
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 1: which is not usually what they do. It's tough because

785
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: they've been played so well on that defensively, right, they've

786
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: been great, better than you even would expect. But if

787
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: there's a weakness that brings me to my point, I

788
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: worry that one of their greatest weaknesses could be one

789
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 1: of the greatest strengths. I want to know what we're

790
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 1: getting from Todd Gurley, and they talked about earlier in

791
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,879
Speaker 1: the show. Physically, he hasn't much work over the last

792
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 1: couple of months, even he'd been really really light. But

793
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: this is still a very very odd image to me,

794
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,399
Speaker 1: very odd, and if Todd Gurley comes out in this game.

795
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: Let's just say hypothetical. Let's say on the first series

796
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: of the game, and mean, look at him. He looks

797
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 1: he's on the first tea, a seventy year old man

798
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 1: stretching out before the game. If he comes out in

799
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: that first series and drops a pass or misses a protection,

800
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 1: does he have a short hook? Is McVay pull him?

801
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 1: Because I'll tell you this, there's there's some scar tissue,

802
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: so to speak. With Todd Gurley when he was at

803
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 1: Georgia his last year there, he gets hurt. Six games in,

804
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 1: he's out. He's a superstar. Nick Chubb comes in and

805
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: is incredible, I mean an incredible player doing his job,

806
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 1: and he was like he was almost like, wow, is

807
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: he better than Gurley? Now he's in the Super Bowl.

808
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:40,240
Speaker 1: Who's on the other side of the ball. Another Georgia

809
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,399
Speaker 1: running back. If he's not himself, if he's insecure, if

810
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: he's in his head, we'll know early. But that could

811
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,240
Speaker 1: be an undoing, all right. So when I was playing

812
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: for the Seahawks, we would have these kind of what

813
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 1: would you do situations? And I'll still remember this once

814
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 1: today because it had everybody in tears. Love you. So

815
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: we were trying to create the weaknesses for superpowers, right,

816
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,439
Speaker 1: and we're they're pretty dumb, but more football player. It's

817
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 1: if you're the fastest man in the world, you can't read,

818
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 1: and if you're invisible. When you are visible, whatever you

819
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: think is the nastiest looking creation in the world, because

820
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: that's what you're gonna look like. You have a booming voice.

821
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:15,919
Speaker 1: When you're not using your booming voice, you're mute. Tom

822
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 1: Brady is a superhero, so I was trying to figure

823
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: out what is his weakness all night. I'm like, I

824
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: can't really figure it out, but he does have a weakness.

825
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 1: What is it? Tom Brady can't run, and he's never

826
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 1: been a threat to run. That is his weakness. That

827
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 1: is his kryptonized So for me, if there's one weakness,

828
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 1: is tom Brady out of the pocket? We say all

829
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: the time, you're gonna be tom Brady, flush them out

830
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,760
Speaker 1: of the the pocket. It's easier said than done. Tom Brady

831
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 1: has just over a thousand yards, right, one thousand and three,

832
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 1: And I will say this, this is a completely different

833
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:44,240
Speaker 1: situation and conversation. Tom Brady's gonna finish under a thousand

834
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 1: yards in his career because it's gonna take some sacks

835
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: and that number is gonna go backwards. He has one

836
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 1: career rushing TD over ten yards. So for me is

837
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: trying to get him outside the pocket. It's not necessarily

838
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 1: about sacking him because they've been keeping him clean all year.

839
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 1: But you have to send pressure of the gut. You

840
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,839
Speaker 1: got him, get him outside that pocket and flash him

841
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 1: outside the pocket, make him run the ball because he

842
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 1: runs like Forrest when he had the braces arm. So

843
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 1: with the magic shoes, yeah, if we get him to

844
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: run like a young Forrest Gump, you'll have a chance

845
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: of beating Tom Brady. I'm going to ask you guys

846
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 1: this question. And I don't know if the game that

847
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 1: Golf had against the Saints in the Superdome, especially in

848
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: the second half, changes this, but is a weakness for

849
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,399
Speaker 1: the Rams, the glaring one that's sort of obvious going

850
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 1: into this one. The inexperience of this team, of the coach,

851
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 1: of the quarterback or do you guys, why is that not?

852
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 1: Why is that not the first thing out of your mouth?

853
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 1: Because last year, because of what Golf did, how much

854
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 1: you guys love you, right? He won in the Superdome

855
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,320
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, that's gonna be a more difficult

856
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 1: place to play. And then here in Atlanta against the

857
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 1: Patriots scenes I don't know how many Patriots fans would

858
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 1: travel into this guy have no idea, but he won

859
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 1: in the Superdome, and that's like, that's the mic drop

860
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: for me, you know what I mean? He's they were

861
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: on tilt in that game and they recovered some ways

862
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 1: al when they should have completely folded. That's one for me.

863
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 1: The other thing is the Eagles were the inexperienced team

864
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 1: last here, and they went into that game they played,

865
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:04,799
Speaker 1: they played like they were playing with house mother. Well said,

866
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:06,839
Speaker 1: I think you kind of have that in the back

867
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 1: year at least I do. I agree one very true

868
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 1: Who should you root for? Moving on here in journalism

869
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: one and one? A bonus question there, but let's go

870
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 1: with doo should you root for in Super Bowl fifty three?

871
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 1: If you are a neutral fan? We're all neutral right now.

872
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 1: There's any sort of neutral fans in name they're a

873
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 1: neutral fan, I would say root for the Rams. Okay,

874
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:30,720
Speaker 1: root for the new group of young men that haven't

875
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 1: tasted what it feels to hold up that Lombardi and

876
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: big world champions, and for the younger generation of fans

877
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 1: that are seeing their teams and rebuilding modes or seeing

878
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 1: their teams come about the gutter like the Browns our

879
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 1: teams that have signed new players. You want this to

880
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 1: be your squad. It's all about the draft and free agency.

881
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 1: And one of the Rams done over the last couple

882
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 1: of years. They hit the draft and they hit free agency.

883
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,320
Speaker 1: And if you're a new squad, you're voting for the Rams.

884
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: You're rooting for the Rams. You hope that the Rams

885
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:58,359
Speaker 1: are the team they gets through VIC three. Well, even

886
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 1: for the Rams, so it's it's antipatriot. Let's face it.

887
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 1: There's a lot of that. There's a lot of anybody,

888
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 1: but the Patriots doesn't matter. So that win's too Mike,

889
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 1: whould you root for I am rooting for if I

890
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 1: am neutral, which I am neutral, And I would suggest

891
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: this to those folks. You gotta root for the underdog, right,

892
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 1: So is it the inexperienced Rams? Now they're not the underdog?

893
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 1: Is it the Patriots? The No, that storyline is over. Well,

894
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 1: so wait a second, Am I rooting for the light jerseys?

895
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: Or am I rooting for the dark jersey? I'm rooting

896
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 1: for the guys wearing both that would be the officials.

897
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 1: And I caught a lot of flak this last weekend

898
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: because of that call in the Saints game that should

899
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:36,399
Speaker 1: have been made in some other calls, you have no

900
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 1: idea unless you've stood on the sideline or, in this

901
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 1: guy's case, played in a game, how fast those things

902
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 1: moved down there. I was on the sideline for a

903
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: playoff game between the Falcons and the Seahawks a couple

904
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 1: of years ago. Paul Richardson makes a diving catch right

905
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 1: in front of me, right in front of me, right

906
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: where you are, and I had no earthly idea whether

907
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 1: that ball hit the ground or not. So these guys,

908
00:42:56,360 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 1: despite the criticism that they've received recently, are among the

909
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 1: best in the world, if not the best in the world,

910
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 1: at what they do. I want a controversy free. I'm

911
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 1: talking to you. Terret smiles back. Judge Eugene Hall, Steve Zimmer,

912
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 1: Jeff Bergman, Edgar k Hey, Fred Bryan Umpire, you stay

913
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 1: out of it. I don't want any traffic again. John Perry,

914
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 1: you keep this thing on. Chick here we go up. Hey, Okay,

915
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 1: we could really use a clean game. I mean we

916
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 1: need Now, I'm not saying I want, we need a

917
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: clean game. Let's let's do it. Come on, baby, um

918
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 1: like like those commercials, the Tide commercial. Yeah, whatever, the

919
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 1: pods all that, don't need them, but use them. Um.

920
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 1: If you don't want to be news roles game, you

921
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: want to room for somebody, I'm room for Tony Romo.

922
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: Tony Romos on the call. Here's the thing, you're one

923
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 1: another Romo thing. He'd start, he doing the nostradamis and

924
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 1: he said, I see it's gonna be a corner fade

925
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 1: here to Julio, and it would be a corner fade.

926
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 1: That was pretty cool. That's one thing doing the look

927
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:53,400
Speaker 1: at Tom he's killing the player. They're gonna put Gronken

928
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 1: motion and run to the right. Like now. It's six

929
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 1: layers deep with his predictions, and it's really entertaining. It

930
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: does beg the question if Tony Romo knows so well

931
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:03,759
Speaker 1: what the Patriots are doing, how the hell did the

932
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 1: Chiefs not know what the hell he were doing. They

933
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 1: just got somebody fired because they didn't know. I also

934
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:10,319
Speaker 1: think there's something about Romo as a football fan. This

935
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:13,399
Speaker 1: goes back fifteen years. Romo never got to the big one.

936
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 1: He never won the Big let alone even raised the Lombardi.

937
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 1: But he was always a cool, likable guy. And I

938
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 1: feel like, in a way, Romo could win the Super

939
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 1: Bowl if he has an incredible If Brady's got the

940
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 1: ball with three minutes left going down the field and

941
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:28,360
Speaker 1: Romo's on the call, that could be Romo's best answer

942
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 1: to a Super Bowl winning drive. And I'm rooting for

943
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:36,439
Speaker 1: absolutely Osmosis. Yes, I'm for Gladys Night too. Yes, She's

944
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 1: gonna kill It's the w I think if you're a

945
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,840
Speaker 1: neutral fan, there's definitely a Patriots fatigue obviously around the league.

946
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:43,400
Speaker 1: I think a lot of Saints fans are going to

947
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 1: go and support the Patriots against the Rams. And I

948
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,840
Speaker 1: hate that about Saints fans right now, because people are

949
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 1: hating that they're not a good team there. The Rams

950
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 1: are trashed. The Rams had an incredible game and they

951
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:56,279
Speaker 1: beat you, and you can talk about the no call,

952
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:59,240
Speaker 1: but I hate that it's Saints fans against Rams fans.

953
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 1: The Rams fans did nothing in this game, so I

954
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:03,920
Speaker 1: want to see a little bit less of that. I

955
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,760
Speaker 1: hate that narrative than I'm seeing Oliver Twitter right now. Finally,

956
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 1: one of the best parts about Super Bowl Week is

957
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 1: NFL Honors at Airs February second to night before. It's

958
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:15,719
Speaker 1: on CBS at nine pm. My favorite events of the

959
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:18,880
Speaker 1: NFL calendar. So what award are you guys most looking

960
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 1: forward to? Mike, Oh, hit me with the Play of

961
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:23,799
Speaker 1: the Year. K I love seeing the montages. I love

962
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 1: seeing the nominees. I love being reminded of just how

963
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: much Kyle, you talked about the grind. We've been on

964
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 1: it since August. The reason why we do it is

965
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 1: because of these plays, these moments I'm talking about Derrick Henry,

966
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 1: the angriest of runs. He won for that right award

967
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:42,399
Speaker 1: winning runs. Let's see, let's justly enjoy it. I mean,

968
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 1: this is part of the NFL Honors. You are celebrating

969
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 1: everything these guys have done, everything that they have put

970
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 1: on the line. Look at this. My man could have

971
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,760
Speaker 1: quit it at any point, any ninety nine of these yards,

972
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 1: and he is just putting it in there now. The

973
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 1: other end of this is the fact that the Patriots

974
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:00,879
Speaker 1: are in the Super Bowl here and they came back

975
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 1: from one of those devastating moments that I just talked about.

976
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:05,799
Speaker 1: A couple of minutes ago that I thought really could

977
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 1: have sunk their season. That would be the Miami miracle.

978
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 1: And just you watch this play and you're like, come

979
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 1: on now, no, every time you watch it, now, somebody's

980
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 1: gonna get him. Somebody's got wait, wait, wait, grunts back there,

981
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 1: grunts got him right, he's got an angle. He can

982
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 1: move pretty well normally when he's wicken aroute. Not so

983
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:23,439
Speaker 1: much there. This play was supposed to be the undo

984
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 1: the Empire mic. Yeah, well they are again. But but

985
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,399
Speaker 1: it's a great reminder of all these moments in these

986
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:31,280
Speaker 1: peaks and valleys that you lived through through this entire season.

987
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 1: Can't wait to see what wins Play of the Year too.

988
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:34,839
Speaker 1: You could vote, by the way on NFL dot com

989
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 1: and get out there. Okay, we need to have an

990
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 1: offseason segment about our favorite NFL events of the year,

991
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 1: because we all say that about a lot of things.

992
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,279
Speaker 1: We love Honors, we love the Jackets, ceremony, we love

993
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:46,839
Speaker 1: a lot of them, very emotion. It's crazy. We all

994
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:50,439
Speaker 1: cry the draft, yes, but the Honors is incredible. I've

995
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:52,319
Speaker 1: been given the huge privles the last couple of years

996
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:54,359
Speaker 1: by the network to be backstage at Honors and when

997
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 1: the people win the awards, they come right off and

998
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 1: I get to talk to him. I always find it

999
00:46:57,680 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 1: fascinating to talk to Coach of the Year. In the

1000
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:01,880
Speaker 1: two years that i've done, it is McVeigh and then

1001
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 1: it's Jason Garrett before that. And it's a little odd

1002
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 1: because they were just giving a trophy, yet they're so

1003
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 1: annoyed that they're not playing the next day. You know,

1004
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 1: they're conflicting emotion. The first thing that I would say

1005
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 1: as well, I wish we were playing tomorrow. But it's

1006
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 1: still a huge honor. And I think this year this

1007
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 1: is a loaded category. Is a great Coach of the

1008
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 1: Year year because take your pick. Obviously, what Naggie did

1009
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 1: with the Bears. I always always trying to benefit the

1010
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:26,479
Speaker 1: first year guys. Naggie goes from first last. Frank Reich

1011
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 1: I think could win it. They didn't lose a game

1012
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 1: for three months, second round of the playoffs, and then

1013
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 1: I would throw Pete Carroll's name in. What he did

1014
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:35,720
Speaker 1: with the Seahawks, Andy Reid coach Lynn with the Charges

1015
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 1: was fantastic. I don't know who's gonna win it this year.

1016
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 1: I think if I had a handicapets between Naggie and Reich.

1017
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:42,719
Speaker 1: But one of those guys could steal the two and

1018
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:44,359
Speaker 1: I cannot wait to see how they receive it. Man,

1019
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:47,400
Speaker 1: I right loaded category. I don't know if there's not

1020
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:49,800
Speaker 1: really a front runner there, Lebrian and Texans. He Bilbrian

1021
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:51,120
Speaker 1: out a hell of the Year and it's a regular

1022
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:54,880
Speaker 1: season award, all right. So I used to go on

1023
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 1: these boys strips, right, me and my friends, and we would,

1024
00:47:57,280 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 1: you know, hang out like guys would do. And one night,

1025
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:02,359
Speaker 1: one of my best friends, let's just say, he had

1026
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 1: too much gatorade. Okay, so before we can even get

1027
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 1: the night started, he's in the alleyway, he's relieving himself everything,

1028
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 1: y right, It was definitely a minute. So we were like, look,

1029
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 1: patting him on the back, and you gotta go back

1030
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 1: to the hotel. Man, this is your night. It's all good.

1031
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:19,919
Speaker 1: We'll hold it down for you. We're gonna celebrate. We'll

1032
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:22,799
Speaker 1: meet you in the morning. So we rands can't hold

1033
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 1: so we jump. We jump a couple of clubs and

1034
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:29,800
Speaker 1: then we head back to the hotel where there's a

1035
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:33,439
Speaker 1: hotel lounge. We go to the lounge and guess who

1036
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 1: walks in My boy and he showered, recovered, and we

1037
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:42,239
Speaker 1: were gonna He's back rally, rally, and he was come

1038
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 1: Back Player of the Trip. And that's always been a

1039
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:46,840
Speaker 1: thing for us, Right, if you go down, if you

1040
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:48,759
Speaker 1: can make it back, you will win Comeback Player of

1041
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:50,839
Speaker 1: the Trip, among other awards every time we go out.

1042
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:52,759
Speaker 1: So for me, it's Comeback Player of the Year. Like

1043
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 1: that's my favorite award because there were guys that were

1044
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:57,840
Speaker 1: down and out their career. Well they're in the alley

1045
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 1: and they were giving up everything they had in them

1046
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 1: and we were looking at Andrew Luck, JJ Watt, Deshaun Watson,

1047
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson. Is it over for these guys? Is it over? Nope?

1048
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 1: They showed up this year at the bar like I'm

1049
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 1: back and we love it so and it runs deep

1050
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 1: with me because I've had some season ending injuries. I've

1051
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:18,799
Speaker 1: seen guys retire because of injuries. And we know that

1052
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:20,799
Speaker 1: the injury rate in the NFL is one hundred percent.

1053
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 1: It's inevitable. This isn't NBA, this isn't baseball where the

1054
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 1: return rate is high and the production is high after

1055
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:30,799
Speaker 1: God's return. It's to NFL. Sometimes injuries can ruin your

1056
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 1: entire career and to be the last time you play.

1057
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 1: I think Andrew luck is at the top of that

1058
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 1: list because I'm gonna be honest, I counted him out.

1059
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 1: I didn't think he'd make it back. He didn't just

1060
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:40,359
Speaker 1: make it back. He was the runner up for the MVP.

1061
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 1: Incredible season, really well said, and love your analogy. But

1062
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:44,759
Speaker 1: I will also bring a Walter Payton Man of the

1063
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:46,840
Speaker 1: Year because we talk about these guys, the best on

1064
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:50,319
