Speaker 1: But we're here, We're and we'll be here each and

23
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: every day. Well, I'll be right here in this insane

24
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: studio at our NFL headquarters in La So let's do it, guys,

25
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: Les Ram a super Bowl and let's welcome in a

26
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: DD King Kabala. She is outside of Paul Brown Stadium

27
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati, and I am jealous. Taylor Bishatti is in

28
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: Manhattan Beach. I'm also jealous here in California at the

29
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: Rams Hotel A d D. Let's start with you here.

30
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: What's on deck for the Bengals today and for the

31
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: rest of the weekend? That fan base there in Cincinnati, Hey,

32
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: what's on deck is? I cannot wait to get out

33
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: there and join you. It's twenty three degee out here,

34
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: I'm standing on a sheet of ice. But here's what's notable.

35
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: Bengals head coach Zach Taylor had his players practice three

36
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: days inside at the University of Cincinnati bundible. That's something

37
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: that he has not done all year. He's prided himself

38
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: on his team preparing in these awful temperatures. The reason

39
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,839
Speaker 1: he's doing that is because, as he said, they're going

40
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: to LA tomorrow morning. So before then, there is indeed

41
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 1: a Pepper rally out here tonight, six o'clock. We'll hear

42
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: from coaches, We'll hear from players like Joe Burrow and

43
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon all again, Coach Zach Taylor. No practice today,

44
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: nothing other than regular workouts and those media commitments. There's

45
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: a lot of excitement here in this city. Those tickets

46
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: KA for this pepper rally tonight, thirty thousand people. They

47
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: sold out in less than three hours, say the Rams assistant,

48
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: going back back to Cally, Cally, we cannot wait, Taylor,

49
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: It's great to see you. We're very excited this morning.

50
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: You know, every single team during Super Bowl Week they

51
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 1: say they want to keep everything as normal as possible,

52
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: same routine, same work day. But is that as big

53
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: of an obstacle for the Rams, considering they are the

54
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: LA Rams playing in their home stadium. Tell us about it.

55
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: I mean, Kyle, they're probably having more normal of a

56
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: morning than we are right now. They are going to

57
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: be able to stay in their same building, They're going

58
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: to be able to stay on their own same practice

59
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: fields all week in Thousand Oaks and they're actually going

60
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: to be able to sleep in their own beds every

61
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: single night. They don't have to come to the team

62
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: hotel until Saturday, which, by the way, the team Hotel

63
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: they stay here every Saturday night before home games. So

64
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: what's on the docket for the Rams today, Well, first,

65
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: they're going to have a walkthrough for their practice. After

66
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: that they are going to have some a little bit

67
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: of media availability, followed by opening Night to Night where

68
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: we're gonna hear from Aaron Donald, ob J Stafford McVay,

69
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: all the big names, and today's work will also be

70
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: a walkthrough. But the big name to focus on is

71
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: Tyler Higbee. He injured his mcl in the NFC Championship game.

72
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: He has not seen the practice field since then, so

73
00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: he's going to be the name to keep an eye

74
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: on this because McVeigh has not closed the door on

75
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: the possibility, but he could return. This week, we'll hear

76
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: from some of those big names. Excellent work by you

77
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: Taylor Bushatti covering the Rams for us on Good Morning

78
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: Football this week. Annaddi can Gabala, who mentioned that PEP

79
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: rally idda, you never know who might stop by that

80
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: PEP rally later tonight. So stay tuned all things going

81
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: on in Cincinnati. Thank you both talked to you, and

82
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: if it. There's so much to be excited about this week,

83
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: So Shrikes, I throw it to you. You're shot out

84
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: of a cannon this morning. What are you looking forward to?

85
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: I love super Bowl Week, and I love when we

86
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: go on remote. I love these shows, and I love

87
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 1: seeing the town a little bit the day we get in.

88
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: So I got a chance to walk around downtown Los

89
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: Angeles yesterday and I'm seeing a lot of Aaron Donald jerseys,

90
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: seeing a lot of number three Beckham jerseys, a lot

91
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: of number ten jerseys that I'm excited to see how

92
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: this ram super team actually handles a super Bowl Week.

93
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: It's one thing when you're the fourth seed and no

94
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,559
Speaker 1: one believes in you, and you're going up against Tom Brady,

95
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: Are you going up against Kyle Shannit? How about when

96
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: you're the big bad Wolves? How about when you're the

97
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: favorites and just a Bengal stands might not have arrived yet,

98
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: but from an early week of preparation come into this thing.

99
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: I thought this was gonna be Bengals heads everywhere. They

100
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: will be they're getting on the planes. When those teams does,

101
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: the Rams fans they are out and about. So I'm

102
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: all days and I think the city is showing out.

103
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: Dangelo and I were walking downtown yesterday, so I'm gonna

104
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: take a photo of this. Took a photo a von

105
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: Miller on the side of a building and this is

106
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: this is what we visioned right when they made all

107
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: these moves, when they went and got staff that's the dream.

108
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: And now the Rams they have that actually everywhere that guy,

109
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: that's awesome thing. The two of us we hung out

110
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 1: with that guy after. But that's what I think, like,

111
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: this is not only LA but the LA team and

112
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: the LA Superstars. This is what they built it for him.

113
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: And let's see if that entire momentum, that inertia can

114
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: lead to Sunday and it actually feels like a home game.

115
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: You know, I'm excited this week. You spoke about the Rams,

116
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: and for me, it's seeing both of these teams right.

117
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: The expectations for the Rams. We knew what it was

118
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: right this whole offseason when they went and got Matthew Stafford.

119
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: It was all about, man, can this team make it

120
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl. The head Jared Goff didn't quite

121
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 1: think that was going to be the answer, right, So

122
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: they move on from him, And so I'm excited to

123
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: see Matthew Stafford and this team with all of these expectations.

124
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: And then on the other side, the Cincinnati Bengals, a

125
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: team that had no expectations. I was at the game

126
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: when Joe Burrow tore his acl and I didn't know

127
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: what to expect from him this season. But to see

128
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: the way this whole football team from the Bengals have

129
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: continued to make plays. Right the point in the season

130
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: where I said the Bengals haven't robbed, and then a

131
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: couple of weeks later, I said, the Bengals are very good.

132
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: I don't know, they're inconsistent. And to see this team

133
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: right here, the team that everybody thought had an opportunity

134
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: to get there, and the team nobody thought that the

135
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: opportunity to get there. They'll play Sunday, and I can't wait.

136
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: It's good. It's really good. I remember when we started

137
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: as a show six years ago. Were always encouraged to

138
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: speaking breakfast terms, you know, pancakes. There a lot of that. Yeah,

139
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: it's a lot of saygue of I'm going back to

140
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: our roots. I like that variety of cereal pack. I

141
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: like the ones with all the different cereals, and I

142
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: feel like that's what we got this time. Guys. There's

143
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: no Tom Brady in the super Bowl. There's no Belichick.

144
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: The Chiefs aren't here. We got something fresh. We have

145
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: a variety of But the Bengals are here. Matt Stafford

146
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: is here. I like the fresh breakfast. And I took

147
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: a picture of my own. I took a picture of

148
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: my own this morning. This is me leaving for work.

149
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: Every year they paced these these pictures all over the

150
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: hotels and everything like that. I'm looking at a picture

151
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: of Joe Burrow, a second year quarterback. I'm looking at

152
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup, Joe Mixon, Matthew Stafford. It's not just the

153
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: same Brady pictures, the same Mahomes pictures. It feels completely different.

154
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: The teams are fresh. LA is fresh. You know they

155
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: haven't done this thing here since the mid nineties Pasadena.

156
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: Michael Jackson was the halftime show. That's how long it's been.

157
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: And can I say there's there's some vibe around two

158
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: not just for the Rams. There's vibe on the halftime

159
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: show already. There's other buildings that have Snoop and Hedrick Kamar,

160
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: and there's just a little bit of that music going around.

161
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: And whether you're from here not from here, that music

162
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: is LA. Maybe the halftime show. Maybe you're not a

163
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: big fan of the Who. Maybe you're not a Springsteen guy,

164
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: which means you're not a sportswriter. When you hear those

165
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: Snoop Dre songs like I don't care what point in

166
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: your life you were at when those things were playing,

167
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: you are taken back immediately. Were listen to them Right now,

168
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: we're getting a little bit loose on a Monday morning

169
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: or Monday night, whatever day it is, Adams, it's fresh

170
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: here in LA and it's really exciting. Yeah, early morning,

171
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: four o nine local here Pacific standard time. It's the

172
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: first Super Bowl that the three of us are covering

173
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: together without either Tom Brady or Patrick Mahars. We've been

174
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: doing this show loses our sixth seasons, So that's a

175
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: bit wild, I'll say to me, it's all about the

176
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: Bengals fans. I got in with them early in August,

177
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 1: was embraced, was cheering them on and for me to

178
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: see and I know the Rams have gone to the

179
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: super Bowl though, and they also went all in and

180
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: said we're going to go there and add all these

181
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 1: big pieces. So for me, it's that fan base. Do

182
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: I think they were tortured? Maybe, but they went through

183
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: some ups and downs with this team. There's not like

184
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 1: this overwhelming talk about us feeling that I get from

185
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: other fan bases. They're enjoying the ride. They know their

186
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 1: future is set, whether they win or lose. Being in

187
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: Cincinnati was maybe one of my top three sports moments

188
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: of my entire life for the weekend back when they

189
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 1: lost to the Niners and had it really lost. Since

190
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: we'll talk to Chris Worth about all of that coming up,

191
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,599
Speaker 1: but they're enjoying it. The thought of seeing them in

192
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: this moment and seeing Joe Burrow and this team have

193
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: a chance of making history is so exciting. So let

194
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: us know what you're excited about. Super Bowl Week, media Night,

195

Speaker 1: out of Miami yesterday. Mike McDaniel becomes the coach of

198
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,400

Speaker 1: hired by the Miami Dolphins. Mike McDaniel their new coach.

200
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: Thirty eight years old, a Yale graduate regard as one

201
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 1: of the NFL's brightest young offensive minds. He's been a

202
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: long time Kyle Shanahan assistant and run game guru who

203
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: now gets the opportunity to run his own show. There

204
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,959
Speaker 1: was another finalist, Kellen Moore, the Cowboys offensive coordinator. The

205
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 1: Dolphins chose McDaniel instead. He identifies as multi racial. His

206
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 1: father is black, which also means he's the first minority

207

Speaker 1: head coach hired in this cycle. The forty nine ers

208

Speaker 1: will receive two third round compensatory picks, one in each

209
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: of the next two drafts. Just two head coach vacancys

210
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: remain now Ka, the Saints and the Texas. It's called

211
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: a little Good Morning Football at the Super Bowl Los Angeles.

212
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: We are here Peter Schrager, D'Angelo Hall, Kyle Brand, myself,

213
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: k Adams for all of the festivities, media night, celebrations,

214
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: media availability, all the biggest stars that will speak, of course,

215
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 1: and it all leads to Inglewood. It all leads to

216
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: Soapi Stadium, which is right across the street. Here at

217
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: our beautiful NFL headquarters with the Pro Bowls last night. Yeah,

218
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: let's do Vegas before LAFC look at to win their

219
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: fifth straight Pro Bowl. They got a dynasty going here

220
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: and Justin Herbert hadn't going to Who Mark Andrews. That's fun.

221
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: They had two touchdowns and two of them Herbert would

222
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: be named offensive MVP for with ninety eight yards passing.

223
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: It's kind of a weird game. That is your Pro Bowl.

224
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: Forty f seed break them up five in a row,

225
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: Kyler through three touchdowns, Calvin Cook two Rusha's five yards.

226
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: He lit it up the Pro Bowl. There was the game.

227
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: They're all the before in time. Our Matthews kids were adorable,

228
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: all the players all together, players with fans and kids.

229
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: What was your favorite part of the festivities and specific

230
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 1: from your game yesterday? My favorite moment with these two

231
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: guys right here to get brothers. I got to play

232
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: with my brother in high school and man, what a

233
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: dream it would have been played against him in the

234
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: National Football League and then on top of that, switch

235
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: positions and go get him into Pro Bowl. I mean,

236
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: come on, and I just talked about it earlier. Steph

237
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 1: knows he over there pulling on trayvn. Otherwise Trayvin would

238
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: have went up then got that ball. I think corner

239
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 1: one of the hardest positions to play, and that was

240
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 1: by far my favorite moment watching those two dudes just

241
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: compete all week long getting the Pro Bowl. My favorite

242
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: thing is to go on Twitter during the problem and

243
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: see people complaining, like, that's not fun, Paul. It's supposed

244
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: to be fun, and that's what it was yesterday. I'd

245
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: love to see the players hand together saying the family,

246
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 1: what are you expecting? You're like, I know you want

247
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: the NFC Championship game every week. It's not gonna happen.

248
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: What is this thing? I've been watching for three straight hours.

249
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: It's gonna rate higher than every Stanley Cup playoff game?

250
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 1: But why am I watching? It's that good? And I

251
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: love seeing the guys because it's like Mike Evans's hand

252
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: with Kyler Murray and Jonathan Taylor is hang with Travis

253
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: Kelsey and it's very cool to see a players from

254
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: different teams celebrate each other chief summit in a Raider's

255
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: summit together and come on, I'm for that, but good

256
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: if you're complaining about the Pro Bowl, come on, how

257
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: could these playoffs been. Come on, how have we never

258
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: gone to I'll complain about the horrible I can Can

259
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 1: you believe we didn't go. We couldn't have made a

260
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: little stop in Vegas before coming here. Come on, I

261
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: haven't gone to cover. I just want to talk to

262
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: them when they're practicing. The scrimmaging and all of that.

263
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: An excellent job by our reporters who were out there

264
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: covering it and making it awesome. I think if we

265
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: had gone, I don't know if we're standing here for myself,

266
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: I dry he've got some windows on the fifteenth South.

267
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: It's never pretty all our coaster at Circus Circus that rights.

268
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: There are too many cameras here. I don't know, there's

269
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:45,719
Speaker 1: a lot, there's nothing. I'm more flustered by. Okay, what

270
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 1: would super Bowl experience mean for Joe Burrow? What will

271
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: it mean? You'll discuss that next. This is super weird.

272
00:12:52,880 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: This I feel like we're doing like a sister. And

273
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: then there were six just six days until Super Bowl

274
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: fifty six at so Fi Stadium, an epic show down

275
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: between the Rams and the Bengals, two very different teams

276
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: to very intriguing quarterbacks. And it is all going down

277
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: right here in La. Welcome to Good Morning Football, everybody,

278
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: presented by Gatoray. Look at us. We're here in this

279
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: beautiful studio D'Angel. The hall is smiling. Peter Schrager is awake.

280
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: Kyle Brandt, how you feeling, buddy. It's like a child's

281
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: play place. It's so beautiful, it's so colorful, it's so cavernous,

282
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: it's so wonderful. This is awesome to be here, especially

283
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: this week. My got got lots to talk about between

284
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 1: those Bengals and those Rams. Let's get the latest on

285
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: both squads. With the lead lead block. The Bengals, what

286
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 1: overrun this season? Magical and a lot to do with

287
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: their young quarterback is magical in his own or us

288
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: in college. Even so, not only in the game itself,

289
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: the entire week leading up. What does the Super Bowl

290
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: fifty six experience, going through the motions, all of that,

291
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: this stage, these eyeballs mean for Joe Burrow, it means

292
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 1: a lot. Six seven months ago, Joe Burrow was an

293
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: injured quarterback on a really struggling enfranchise. The future wasn't

294
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: necessarily bright. We don't know, you don't know how he's

295
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: gonna recover. From that, we don't know if it was

296
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: going to be the Browns Division. And in that six

297
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: months he is now a star. A star. This week

298
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: with the game culminating, is when he can become a superstar.

299
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: And how do I separate the two superstar? You don't

300
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: have to file the NFL. You know who they are.

301
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: My mom knows who you are. It's Tom Brady, it's

302
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, it's Patrick Mahomes. There's tons of stars in

303
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: this league, five or six superstars. If Joe Burrow wins

304
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: the super Bowl at the end of this week and

305
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: goes through the media and nails it and walks off

306
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: and says, I'm going to Disneyland, superstar because you know what,

307
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: he's joined in the club the guys who win there

308
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: the super Bowl in their first two seasons in the

309
00:14:55,600 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: league as quarterbacks. It is really exclusive Hall of famers only.

310
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: That's the list. Russ Roethlisberger, Brady Warner, all those guys

311
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: are already in or going in. And I gotta tell

312
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: you looking at this list, Ben Roethlisberger was a passenger

313
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: and a Steeler driven the defense team. Russell Wilson had

314
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: the l ob. Tom Brady that is defensive based team.

315
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: The Patriots had, all due respect to the Bengals defense

316
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: was we just heard about his great Joe Burrows going

317
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: in an arrowhead chucking touchdowns. That is a different makeup

318
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: than some of those guys. He is leading this team

319
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: in his offense first, and the defense is really good.

320
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: So I don't think it's apples to apples. He has

321
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: become a star in the last six months. He can

322
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: become a superstar in the next six days. Oh, I'll

323
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: have to push back a little bit. I think he

324
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: is a superstar already. And so I think this means

325
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: like all those names you mentioned, you got Pittsburgh. Ben

326
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger was carry, Russell Wilson was carry. Tom Brady was

327
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: trying to figure it out, right, Yeah, Kurt Warner was

328
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: the guy he was. He was chucking that ball all around.

329
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: I came into me O three and he was still

330
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: throwing home When you watched Joe Burrow play football, Like,

331
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: to me, he doesn't need to win this Super Bowl.

332
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: Like in year two, coming off that acl, he didn't

333
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: really convince us all as a rookie. It really took

334
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: this year two for us to say, Wow, I mean

335
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: this kid got sacked a lot, seemed unfazed. Right, how

336
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: many quarterbacks do you see get up slamming the ball

337
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: man at everybody that's not cool Joe by heat chilling.

338
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter to him. He just goes out there.

339
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: He continued to make plays. And so I'm gonna push

340
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: back on the narrative. To me, he is a superstar

341
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: and Joe Burrow let me get my ice. So Camp,

342
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: I thought in college you had a whole lot of help.

343
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: I thought it was very easy for you know, to

344
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: watch you make plays. I thought in the NFL you

345
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: struggle a little bit. And watching him as a rookie,

346
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: we actually, I say we. I was a part of

347
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: the broadcast team and watching them when Joe Burrow came

348
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: up there, and they actually towards a cl in that game.

349
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: But through the first half, I mean I was sold.

350
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: I was watching him get up there, execute the plays,

351
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: get the ball out of his hands, identify man zone.

352
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: See when Blitzer start coming, change plays. I said, Wow,

353
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: our quarterback doesn't do that. This dude some rookie and

354
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: he's doing that all ready. And so for me for

355
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: him to come back and be who he's been all

356
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: season long, make play out to play. All the adversity

357
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: of this football teams faced him personally. That offensive line

358
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: isn't very good. That's why a lot of people are

359
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: writing his team off because you think about Aaron Donald,

360
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: Vaughan Floyd and just the rotation and where guys move around,

361
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 1: and you think, man, they don't have a chance. When

362
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: you got Joe Burrow, you got a chance because I'm

363
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: telling you he's way more athletic than anybody gives them

364
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: credit for. And he's so smart, and I think this

365
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: is gonna be a hell of a game that you

366
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 1: look at it on paper, you probably don't think so,

367
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: but these two dudes, it's going down. Man. I just

368
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: love me some Joe Burrow And tell you what, I

369
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 1: wasn't singing his praises like this when he came out

370
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: of LSU. So he's won me over. Yeah. I go

371
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: back to guys who in the first two seasons, in

372
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: the first two seasons, and there's another lesson of guys

373
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: that got there and didn't win it. Like Kaepernick got

374
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,199
Speaker 1: there in the second year, didn't win it. Mahomes got

375
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: to the ANC Championship, didn't win it. I think of

376
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: the greatest second year season in the history of the sport,

377
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: and I think it Dan Marino, all right, Dan Marino

378
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: broke every passing record that season, shattered the single season

379
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: record for passing yards and for touchdowns, and was cruising

380
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: the whole season. They beat the Steelers in the ASA

381
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: champion game. In the second year Ghost Super Bowl against

382
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: the Niners, Marino wasn't great that day. It was not great.

383
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: He went twenty nine to fifty through two interceptions and

384
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: fell short. And like, if Burrow wins and he's the

385
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: reason they're there, I could go, I mean, it sounds

386
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: like it's you know, in fifty six Super Bowls. It

387
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:30,959
Speaker 1: sounds like I said, he it could be the greatest

388
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 1: sophomore season we've ever seen from a quarterback because he's

389
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: the reason there that. Like we talk about Mike Hilton,

390
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 1: Emilie Apple, want if it's Ryan Finley or Brandon Allen

391
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,239
Speaker 1: at quarterback, they're not played in the Super Bowl right now.

392
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: It's Joe Burrow. And it all stems from his confidence,

393
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: from his intelligence, from his strength and gosh, that AFC

394
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: Championship game, down eighteen points in the second half to

395
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,199
Speaker 1: come all the way back, the perseverance, and I think

396
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 1: it's everything is involved. It wasn't a highly recruited high

397
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: school player had to transfer out of Ohio State, his

398
00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 1: home state, and then had to then win the job

399
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 1: LSU and then get to the end and then has

400
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 1: the ACL and Drake. Nothing is too big for this guy.

401
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: No adversity he hasn't seen yet. I love this story,

402
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: and I think if he wins on Sunday, which is

403
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: very possible, I think it might be better than Marino. Second,

404
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: it's that good because he finished the job and he

405
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: actually tied the bow at the end. I do think

406
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 1: he is ascended into stardom. Regardless, like you're saying of

407
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: the result of the game Week thirteen, if they faced

408
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: the Chargers, we had all of these compared, who would

409
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: you rather have? Burrow or Herbert? I saw Herbert on

410
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: the podium in Vegas the Pro Bowl. Patrick Mahomes and

411
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: his family were at the Pro Bowl. Joe Burrows already

412
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 1: done what guys like Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson and

413
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield and Justin Herbert have not been able to do.

414
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: You're beating Patrick Mahomes twice in a season, and you

415
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 1: are which nobody's done, but Brady by the way, and

416
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 1: you are now in this point where you're playing this game,

417
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: win or lost. And I do think it's important to

418
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 1: mention that it's with the Bengals, because that's tied end

419
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: with this. This isn't some team he inherited. If Jared

420
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: Goff had won it and beat in the Patriots, would

421
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 1: Jared Goff be this superstar? I don't know, maybe, but

422
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: there's something obviously intangible their star power with Joe Burrow.

423
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 1: But there's also the fact that it is a fan

424
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 1: base that he went and got this team a postseason

425
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,479
Speaker 1: win for the first time in thirty years, brought them

426
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: back to relevance. He's the star, He's the reason. He

427
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: sort of took them from the bottom of the barrel

428
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 1: to winning the division, even that first win over Patrick

429
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: Mahomes the regular season that was huge. I did an

430
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: interview with Pete Davidson about a Super Bowl commercial, thinking

431
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 1: we talk a little whatever what are you eating? He

432
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 1: went in depth about his love for Joe Burrow and

433
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 1: how he likes the subtlety which I talk about a

434
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: lot of Joe Burrow, and I'm like, well, this is

435
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: if this isn't stardom superstardom on a stage like who's

436
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: hotter right now than Pete David. He's the it guy,

437
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 1: loves the NFL it guy. So there's that. Back on

438
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: Good Morning Football at Super Bowl. We got lots to

439
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,719
Speaker 1: talk about here. The Dolphins guess what they found their

440
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: new head coach, has reported by our own Ian Rappidport

441
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: and Tom Pellis Area. Yesterday, Miami finalizing a deal to

442
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 1: make nine Earth offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel a new man

443
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: in charge. McDaniel played a crucial role in the Niners

444
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,679
Speaker 1: success this season and now looks to turn things around

445
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: in the Sunshine State. Though they did have back to

446
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,439
Speaker 1: back winning season, so he can definitely make them more

447
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: contenders in the AFC easton sort of make things better

448
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: than they already were. Shriggs, do you have any details

449
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: on what led to this? Today Friday afternoon, Mike McDaniel

450
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: got to the facility in Davy, Florida, and they met

451
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 1: for ten hours with owner Stephen Ross and general manager

452
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: Chris Greer, and he laid it out and one of

453
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 1: the big things that he told them was, I'm going

454
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 1: to maximize what toa can do best. I'm not going

455
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 1: to think that tah is going to hold us back,

456
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: and he made the case for why Tua can be

457
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: the quarterback there. Mike McDaniel's story is interesting. Well, everyone

458
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: was fawning and praising Laflora and McVeagh and Kyle Shanahan

459
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 1: from that twenty twelve Washington staff. You actually were on

460
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 1: that team. Mike McDaniel was a coach on that team too.

461
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: He's always gotten the best out of his quarterbacks, and

462
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 1: as much as he's given the credit for the run

463
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 1: game and where they do a debot, I think the

464
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 1: quarterback question was such a big one in Miami, and

465
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 1: he had answers for what he wants to do with

466
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 1: toa very high on TOA. I got to speak to

467
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 1: him this weekend and he's very high on what this

468
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: team can be. Yeah, and I mean, I absolutely love

469
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 1: Mike mcdan. You talked about our time together in Washington.

470
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 1: He was probably one of those coaches on the staff

471
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: that should have been kept. He was let go end

472
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: up following Kyle Shanahan to Cleveland. But this is a

473
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: guy who understands how to put his players in position

474
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: to make plays. And I tell so many coaches this

475
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: all the time. It's not necessarily about you. It's about

476
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: how can you maximize the strengths of all of those

477
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: guys on this roster. And it's no doubt in my

478
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: mind the way to forty nine is played football. You

479
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: can win games like that. It is a mindset. It

480
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: is a physical nature as a physical brand is that

481
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: I'm in your face, you have to stop me. If

482
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: Miammy can somehow intertwine some of that get to a

483
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 1: nice and comfortable in the pocket, some of those throws,

484
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: Like we talked about Jimmy g Right not always making

485
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 1: some of the best plays. I still think too, it

486
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 1: can be a great quarterback in this league. You put

487
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 1: a ring game beside a guy like that, it just

488
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: makes things so much easier. It takes a lot of

489
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: that pressure off him. Let's some opera right kind of

490
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: within the downs. Keep them on schedule. I love to move.

491
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: I saw a take that was you know he was

492
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: a passenger on the Shanahan Express. Is z that Zach

493
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 1: Taylor was on the Sean McVay Express. Because Zach Taylor's

494
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: coaching a football game across the street right now, I'd

495
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: be very careful pitcheonhauling him like that and just one

496
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: thing I want to get very clear as a show

497
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 1: and as a nation. Josh McDaniel's laurel is the Raiders

498
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: head coach. Mike McDaniel is the Dolphins head I know,

499
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 1: and yet I'm gonna try anyway. I know you're not listening.

500
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 1: I know Nate Brolson's already calling him. Mike McDaniels, Hey,

501
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: I love you. McDaniel singlers two of them, and they

502
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: are related what he did for Jimmy. I'd like him

503
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: to bring some of that rushing attack over to Miami.

504
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: There were thirtieth in the league last year, and I'd

505
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: like to see wrinkles for Jaalen Waddle. This is a

506
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: good morningful of by the way, half of the AFC

507
00:23:45,680 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: East coaches, former Shanahan assistants with Daniel and the Rams

508
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 1: front office went big over the last couple of years.

509
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 1: Super Bowl experience, its star power just incredible. Now will

510
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 1: the Rams dream team model? Guys? Is this the new

511
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 1: approach to get to and win Super Bowls? To home?

512
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: I don't think it's the new model, but gosh, you

513
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: gotta like the way that they just committed and said, Hey,

514
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: this is what we're gonna do. See a need, fill

515
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 1: a need that's from a cartoon. I can't remember which cartoon,

516
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: but see a need, fill a need. And that's exactly

517
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: what the Rams were able to do, identify needs on

518
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: their roster. And it's really it's the beautiful mindset of

519
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 1: do you go with the proven commodity right, Do you

520
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,199
Speaker 1: go and trade two first round us for a guy

521
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 1: like Jalen Ramsey. We know he's an elite corner in

522
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: this league, right, or do you say him may here

523
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 1: in the draft I can find a guy. I don't

524
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 1: think you'll find a guy on Jalen Ramsey's talent level.

525
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: And so that's why it's been so dope to watch

526
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 1: from the outside looking in, because when you're a player

527
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 1: and you see your te committed to winning, especially right now.

528
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: Everybody can talk about planning for the future, but man,

529
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: it's so nice to see your team want to win

530
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: right now, want to go right away draft picks to

531
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,719
Speaker 1: go get talent. But it's the dilemma that a lot

532
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 1: of front office face. Do I go with what I

533
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: know or do I go with what I think I

534
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: can't get it? So I love the way that the

535
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 1: Rams approached this. I thought every guy that they picked

536
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: up was a vital part of the reason there at

537
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: this point right now. But it ultimately comes down to

538
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 1: they gotta win it. They have to win it. To

539
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: say it all makes sense. Yeah, And you know they

540
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 1: traded a sixth round pick for Sony Michelle and people

541
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: were like, what Sony Michelle have left? It's a sixth

542
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 1: round pick. YEA, we don't know. And it could be

543
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: Elijah Mitchell or it could be a guy that never

544
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 1: takes the field. You gotta have an uncomfortable conversation if

545
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 1: you want to go in to this approach. That's the thing.

546
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 1: You gotta be ready for it. Because Jared Goff took

547
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 1: him to a Super Bowl. This front office drafted Jared

548
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: Goff and traded up to get Jared Goff, And on

549
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: the way back from Green Bay last year, I know

550
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: there are some really hard conversations on the flight about

551
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: can this RAMS team ever get over the hump with

552
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 1: Jared Goff. Everybody a man in that building love Jared

553
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: Golf as a person, and they had to look in

554
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 1: the mirror and say he's not good enough. We can't

555
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,640
Speaker 1: win with this guy. And they went and they made

556
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: that trade. And you better have the stomach for that

557
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 1: because I look around the NFL and I'm gonna call

558
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: out some names. I want to look around the NFL

559
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 1: and I want to see if the Tennessee Titans turn

560
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: office is watching. Ryan Tannehill is a very good quarterback

561
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: in the NFL, whore the number one seed in the

562
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: AFC through three interceptions in the biggest game of the season.

563
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: Is Ryan Tannehill ever winning a Super Bowl? I want

564
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: to look at Indianapolis. You traded a first round pick

565
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: for Carson Well. Tra is on fire right now. This

566
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 1: is what it takes, though. You gotta help Jimmy Garoppolo

567
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,360
Speaker 1: and San Francisco they knew they traded three first round picks.

568
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: The list goes on and on and on. We could

569
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: go through probably twenty of the thirty two teams and

570
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 1: we could look at that quarterback situation saying, yeah, we

571
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: know you drafted them, and yeah we know you're the GM,

572
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: but are you ever winning a Super Bowl with that guy?

573
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: They did that, and less Sneed put his name on

574
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: Jared Golf and said, here's my career move. I'm getting

575
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 1: Jared Golf, And less Sneed said, you know what, Sean,

576
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 1: You're right let's go get Matthew Stafford. I think it

577
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: takes a very special sort of guts and sort of

578
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 1: gumption to make that trade. I'm not sure every building

579
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: in the NFL has that. Yeah, it's a great call

580
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 1: of Peter, because we saw the Niners go right out

581
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: there and fly on there and they're flight home. And

582
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:10,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if we have it because I don't

583
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: know if it's if it's the Rams super team model.

584
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: I thought it was the Bucks from the year before,

585
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 1: and now it's the Rams, and now that's not a coincidence.

586
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 1: The two years in a row. Let's load up with

587
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 1: everybody and then look where we are. I come out personally,

588
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: I love the less need bleep them picks model. I

589
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: absolutely love it. I love the coffee buck. I hate

590
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 1: draft picks. I do. They're looked at the next to godliness.

591
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 1: Half of them don't work out, even the first round picks,

592
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: just their garbage. Three years it's people say we got

593
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: a first round pick. Is that gonna amount to anything?

594
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: Do you wonder who they traded for? Jalen Ramsay Kay Levan,

595
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 1: Chase On and CJ. Henderson. That's who they got for

596
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: Jalan Rams. Sounds good to me players. Picks bird in

597
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 1: the hand gets you to the big game. And so

598
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: now I feel like two years in a row we've

599
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: seen guys go big, get huge names, and end up

600
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: in the soup. I'm looking at this draft doesn't seem

601
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: to be terribly robust with huge profile talent. I don't

602
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: know if there's gonna be in Michael Parsons. I don't

603
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 1: know if there's gonna be a Jamar Chase in this draft.

604
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 1: I certainly don't know if there's going to be a

605
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: high end quarterback this year, if any year. These other

606
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: thirty teams other than the Bucks in the Rams, we've

607
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: watched these guys get players, spend picks, trade players. Maybe

608
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: there's a keeping up with the Joneses here where Now

609
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,439
Speaker 1: the price for talent, the price for Super Bowl rosters

610
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: has risen, and I don't know if it's going to

611
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: go through the draft. I may be in the free agency,

612
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: it might be in trades. It's not just the Rams.

613
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: It is the Bucks, and I do not think it's

614
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: the end of it. Are there other teams that have

615
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: done or tried to do and pull off with the

616
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 1: Rams have done and had success like that? Because there's

617
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: five nine ers. Okay, when free agency first started, they

618
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: just collected everyone Ken Norton and we're getting all these

619
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: different players where you collected. But the Eagles of twenty

620
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 1: eleven on the team everyone points to and says they're

621
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: tend to dream to right right, right, and it didn't

622
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: work out. This doesn't always right. So we have to

623
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 1: give credit to the Rams that they were able to

624
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: do this. Be bold, be confident, put the target on

625
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: their back, and it's worked for them. Work, it's not

626
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: always and then you look there's teams that try to

627
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: do it. Maybe it's not through trades, but I'm looking

628
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: at the Saints heartbreak after heartbreak and giving out big

629
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: deals to Alvin Kamara and to Michael Thomas and bringing

630
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: guys like Malcolm Jenkins, and it doesn't always work. It

631
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: ends in heartbreak and then you are strapped with the

632
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: salary cap if you look at what happens strakes if

633
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: it doesn't work out. So it's a really bold strategy,

634
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: and I think you got to be cautious with it

635
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: and really think about what you're doing because you can

636
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: end up being like look at the Saints with what

637
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: they are as far as projected cap space for this year.

638
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: It doesn't work for everybody. And you know, you look

639
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: at some of these teams are, oh, Doll's a free

640
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: agent now. Yeah, so this is like, yeah, we knew

641
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: we're in for twenty twenty two, We're not looking at

642
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three or twenty Odell probably won't be a

643
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: Ram next year and probably sid a big deal elsewhere,

644
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: right and get paid. You gotta have the stomach for

645
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: and know that, like we're doing it and it's short term.

646
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: There might not be at the end of it. That's

647
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: the key is short term. A lot of times teams

648
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: they want to plan for the future. Right This team

649
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: is saying, hey, we're trying to go get a Super

650
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: Bowl ring right now. We'll worry about the future later.

651
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: But the interesting thing about the Rams, a lot of

652
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: people always talk about them giving up those picks. They

653
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: tend to trate a lot of first round draft picks.

654
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: But if you kind of check how many picks they've made,

655
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: they're still right up in the top five top ten

656
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: as far as draft picks. They have the second most

657
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: draft picks since McVeagh got there. For five that they've taken.

658
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: They've just all been from rounds three to seven, exactly

659
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: three to seven. Cool cups the third round, and so

660
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what they know how to pick them.

661
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: All Right, we have some big news that just broke

662
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: from the biggest stars on the planet. Please take a

663
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: look at this. What do we got, Dwayne Johnson? After

664
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: all these years, my football dream of standing on the

665
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: Super Bowl field has finally come true. It will be historic,

666
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: This will be my honor, this will be electrifying. I'll

667
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: see you this Sunday. L f G. What's going on.

668
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: He's gonna be there. He's gonna be down the field,

669
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: point that thing for the roof. Yeah, I guess it's

670
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: a special appearance on the field before the game kicks off.

671
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: I'm excited. And tune in early on the NBC on

672
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 1: February thirteenth to catch all the free game action. We

673
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: cannot wait. Let's ahead of Tom Pillasaro, who's yeah, smartly

674
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: warm somewhere The Texans every one of two teams looking

675
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 1: for a head coach. What is the latest in the

676
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 1: search for a guy in Houston? Well? Kay, the Texans

677
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: head coaching search has taken yet another turn. Last night,

678
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 1: they interviewed their defensive coordinator Lovey Smith for the job. Smith,

679
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: of course, has been in an NFL head coach twice

680
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: before eighty nine eighty seven, with three playoff trips over

681
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: eleven seasons with the Bears, and the Bucks went to

682
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl after two thousand and six season. Most

683
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 1: recently was head coach at the University of Illinois, where

684
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: he was fired in twenty twenty after five consecutive losing seasons.

685
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: Now four weeks here, it had seemed destined that Josh McCown,

686
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,479
Speaker 1: the former NFL quarterback, was going to be the Checksans

687
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 1: head coach, despite the fact he had never coached above

688
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: the high school level. He has not officially been told

689
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: he is out, but it is not expected at this

690
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 1: point the McCown is going to be the coach. So

691
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 1: there are only two candidates still standing in Houston. It

692
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: is Lovey Smith and Brian Flores. How about it Stafford

693
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: and Cup going up against Burrow and Jamar Chase. You're

694
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: looking at Santa Monica, You're looking at Los Angeles, California,

695
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 1: home of Super Bowl and fifty six. We are soplessed

696
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 1: to be a part of it. In with you on

697
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 1: this Monday, That's right, it's Monday, so we've got to

698
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: do for a five six days to go until this

699
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: epic showdown between a jungle Cat and a Ram. It's

700
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: all taking place right outside at Sofi Stadium. How's the

701
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: energy shrikes in La? It's amazing. Last night there's a

702
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 1: Clippers game by our hotel and everyone is in Rams

703
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: Jerseys and Bengals Jersey's. NBA take a back seat. It's

704
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: the NFL's week in La. We've got D'Angelo Hallo shreves.

705
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: Great to see a Kyle Brandt is here. We will

706
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: be here every morning for four hours. Our shows presented

707
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: to you by Gatorade. And it is time to hear

708
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: from a guy we talked about all morning. Lot. I'm

709
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: Burr here in studio and it's Joe Burrow at the

710
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: podium out in Cincinnati. Let's take it life. It was great.

711
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: We worked very hard to be in this position. I

712
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: don't I wouldn't say it's surprising, you know, I know

713
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: the kind of guys we have in the locker room

714
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,239
Speaker 1: and coaching coaching staff works really hard to put us

715
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: in good positions to be successful. Jenny with a ringer.

716
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 1: You have been fantastic against the blitz this year. I

717
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 1: mean your pastor ratings like twenty points higher when you're

718
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 1: getting blitz than when you're not. Yet that moment against

719
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: the Ravens this year where you said ken zero, So

720
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: I'm wondering do you actually like being blitzed? Like, do

721
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 1: you prefer to be blitzed? You know, I just think

722
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: it depends on the situation. When you blitz, you have

723
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: to play one on one outside and the receivers that

724
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: we have makes my job easy. When when I do

725
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: get pressured, they win so fast that I'm able to

726
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 1: just get them the ball in space. So you know,

727
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 1: those guys make it easy on me. Well, we have

728
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: to adity with NFL Network. Hey, Joe, we've talked a

729
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 1: lot about how you're diagnosing defenses this year. Brian Callahan

730
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: was really raving about the way you see the field.

731
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: Can you tell us what your process was this offseason?

732
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: Was there anything you committed to doing to get better

733
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: at that? You know, every offseason I kind of work

734
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: on a little bit of everything. There's not really one

735
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: or two specific focuses that I have. You know, seeing

736
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: the field has always been something that has kind of

737
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: come naturally to me. Pretty good at understanding spatial awareness

738
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: and where everybody is. And so then if you had that,

739
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: with my preparation, I'm able to diagnose the coverage fairly quickly. Next,

740
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: we'll have Nate Davis with your I just wanted to

741
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: it seems like a fun topic going into the week.

742
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: Is just people talking about your your persona and the

743
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 1: swagger and all that glasses, the chain, et cetera. Can

744
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 1: you just talk about from your perspective? Does that go

745
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 1: back to high school or where did you cultivate that

746
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: or is that just something that's come naturally to you. Yeah,

747
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know. I don't really consciously think

748
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: about it. I just wear stuff that I think I

749
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 1: would like. You know. It's not like I'm shopping and

750
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 1: be like, oh, everyone would love this. I just have

751
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: always kind of not cared what anybody thinks about, you know,

752
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: what I wear, what I do, and just wear stuff

753
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 1: that I like. X. We'll have John Crick with the

754
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 1: Toronto Sun. Given that your dad played professional football up

755
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: in the CFL for several years, do you have any

756
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 1: favorite memories your dad would tell about Canada or the CFL.

757
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: And secondly, when you left the Ohio State uncertain even

758
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 1: about your college career. Was the CFL maybe an option

759
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: for you? You know, he would always tell me stories

760
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: of the great Cups that he played in, so that

761
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: was always fun to hear about. You know, that was

762
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 1: always kind of in the back of my mind if

763
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: I had chosen to pursue that route, and maybe I

764
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: didn't turn out to as good as I was. CFL

765
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: was always in the back of my mind if I

766
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,240
Speaker 1: had decided to go there. Then with New York Times,

767
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 1: you seem to really enjoy playing quarterback, and not just

768
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 1: the football aspect, but sort of like the spoils and

769
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 1: the rewards that come with it. From your comments after

770
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: the game against the Chiefs about about the necklace, and

771
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 1: there's that seemed to be just that personality about you

772
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,800
Speaker 1: that the previous reporter asked, And I'm kind of wondering

773
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: what you like about the entirety of being able to

774
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 1: play that position and what it represents to you in

775
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: the NFL. You know, I think my favorite part of

776
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 1: it is, well, two things on the field, you know,

777
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: I get the ball, get the ball in my hands

778
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: every play. Quarterback is the one position that can really

779
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 1: impact the game on every single play. And the second

780
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 1: is cultivating relationships in the locker room. I'm from small

781
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,879
Speaker 1: town Royal, Ohio, and you know, I think what's great

782
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 1: about football is you can create relationships with people that

783
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 1: you never would have had a relationship with otherwise, whether

784
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 1: it's a guy from Chicago or Alabama or Atlanta. Those

785
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:03,319
Speaker 1: relationships are rare and exciting for people that come from

786
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: where I'm from. And I would say that's my favorite part,

787
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: my favorite part about Joe Burrow as he talks to

788
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 1: all of the media, he is so calm and strikes

789
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: he doesn't care what anybody thinks, and I believe him,

790
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,320
Speaker 1: and he's Kyle and I are sitting here watching that

791
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 1: and like he they might win this thing. Like he

792
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,879
Speaker 1: is so cool. He's like an assassin out there where

793
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: this is not a big This might as well have

794
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 1: been Week three of the preseason press conference the way

795
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: he was And I love what he said at the end.

796
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: He's got such a global view with the world with

797
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 1: where it is, the NFL locker room is still one

798
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 1: of the true melting pots. And he's saying, I'm from

799
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:35,919
Speaker 1: a small town in Ohio and I could be friends

800
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 1: with Eli Apple from Vorhees New Jersey or Jodobe Ouzier

801
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 1: who's from San Jose, California. It's the one place still

802
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: in this country where everyone can come together for a

803
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: common goal with no discord, and they are all in.

804
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: And that guy's leaving. The way he's wise beyond his years,

805
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:50,800
Speaker 1: and the way he speaks, I could see why some

806
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 1: many players follow him. It's a funny thing that just

807
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 1: happened here at the table. We come up top of

808
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 1: the hour. Hey, we're in LA. It's super weak and yeah,

809
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: and I'm not really surprised that we're here. We have

810
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 1: really good players. It's we keep talking over and over

811
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 1: about how cool and calm he is, and then you're watching, like, wow,

812
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: he really is and this question of is it ever

813
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: we're ever gonna reach a moment across the street over

814
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 1: there where it's too big for him, or he does

815
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 1: get caught up and he was down twenty one of three,

816
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 1: or arrow head out of the elements. If it hasn't

817
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 1: happened already, it ain't gonna happen. And every time you

818
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,479
Speaker 1: hear him talk, you come away with the same guys,

819
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 1: pretty cool. Yeah, Now, hey, guys, it's a difference between

820
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:32,320
Speaker 1: acting cool and literally being cool in the most pressure

821
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 1: of moments and situations, we see Joe Burrow be so cool.

822
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 1: So you're absolutely right. We're here full of energy, and

823
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow gets on and he's like, like, you know,

824
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: I didn't been here before school. Like all he's missing

825
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 1: is to lean back, throw your arm up, Now your cigar.

826
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 1: And I know it's too close to game time for

827
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,919
Speaker 1: the cigars and stuff, but that's all Joe Burrow's missing.

828
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 1: I'm doing it for him. I'm relaxing for him because

829
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: that's what it's about. It's about being comfortable. It's about understanding, Hey,

830
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: I know we can go are here in go toe

831
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: to toe with anybody. Our next guests joining us right now.

832
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 1: A absolute dear friend of the show. He was a

833
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 1: three time Pro bowler with the Cincinnati Bengals, and this

834
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: Sunday he'll be doing color commentary for NBC for the

835
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 1: Big Game, the biggest stage in Super Bowl fifty six.

836
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: He's also the man who pointed out that the Bengals

837
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: have been on fire, losing just one game when they

838
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 1: arrested all their starters in Week eighteen, since I went

839
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 1: back to Cincinnati in Week fourteen. So please welcome back too.

840
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:30,399
Speaker 1: Good morning football, Chris, Chris, good Chris having. Although I've

841
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,879
Speaker 1: got to do this for k first, we are all

842
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 1: pay Howard Zoe j Adams, will you show up one time?

843
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: And that's it, and all of a sudden, the Bengals

844
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 1: gallows again. Let's talk about this game, epic subplots, compelling storylines.

845
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: What is the biggest storyline that you've got your eye

846
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 1: on Super Sunday. I think it has to be the

847
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 1: protection of the Bengals offensive line. You know, Kenya hold

848
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 1: up against the Hall of famers on the other side,

849
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald bon Miller. They're just so good at getting

850
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,800
Speaker 1: after the quarterback, and Floyd is as big a concern

851
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: as anybody else. And then you got to deal with

852
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:05,800
Speaker 1: another Hall of Fame r on the back end and

853
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey. But I do think that if these Bengals

854
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 1: receivers can work their way down the field, it's entirely

855
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: possible at the end of this game if the Bengals

856
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 1: pull off yet another road upset, which they would have

857
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: to go to Tennessee, go to Kansas City, and go

858
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 1: to LA to win the Super Bowl. But if they did,

859
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 1: that would all of a sudden, we'd be talking about

860
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals as the Kansas City Chiefs. Is that

861
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: unstoppable offense regardless of where they have to play to,

862
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 1: regardless of where they have to go, because they are

863
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:43,959
Speaker 1: phenomenally talented. They are really something special at the wide

864
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 1: receiver group. Well, obviously Jamar Chase the front of back. Chris,

865
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: it was interesting at the end of the title game.

866
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,839
Speaker 1: He was in tears, tears of joy, very emotional after

867
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:53,839
Speaker 1: the win, which was a really cool site. But maybe

868
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: a little bit surprising because it's not as if he's

869
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 1: a twelfth year guy who finally gets one. He was

870
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: a rookie one year and he to the Super Bowl

871
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 1: as the Bengals wide receiver, which you know everything about.

872
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 1: You went to your first Super Bowl as a Bengals

873
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: rookie wide receiver, and we got glorious standard definition footage

874
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: of it. Of course, Chris, but tell us if you

875
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 1: could sit down with Jamar and just say, here's what

876
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:16,720
Speaker 1: you should expect, here's what you should where you should

877
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: get your head at before the games. Such a rookie,

878
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 1: what would you say to him. I wouldn't tell that

879
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 1: young man anything. And he's one of the best players

880
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,800
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. I mean I've already said it. I

881
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: think he's the best receiver in the history of the

882
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals. And that includes Isaac Curtis, that includes Josinko,

883
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: that includes a lot of different people. The plays that

884
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 1: he has made this season where he catches a little

885
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 1: ten yard pivot route we used to call it and

886
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 1: turns upfield, and not only did they not tackle them,

887
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 1: they don't lay a finger off. I've never seen anything

888
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 1: like it, and so that's gonna have to be I

889
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 1: think the way the Bengals win the game, if they

890
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:01,879
Speaker 1: were to win the game, which is some of these

891
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 1: athletic catch and run you know, te Higgins going vertical

892
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 1: up over the top. T Higgins as a beast. I

893
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:10,359
Speaker 1: went to practice the Bengals the other day. He looks

894
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,760
Speaker 1: like a two hundred and fifty pound tight end flying

895
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 1: around the field out there. And Tyler Boyd is just

896
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 1: a street fighter of a guy. I mean, he's just

897
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 1: you would love him. And these guys are just phenomenal

898
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: wide receivers. And it's gonna be a show. I think

899
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: this is gonna be one of those big Super Bowl

900
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 1: high points. I just think it's gonna be a show. Chrissy,

901
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 1: know how much we hold you in such high regard.

902
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 1: And the Malcolm Butler play was Super Bowl and you

903
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 1: and hour on it. Let me ask you from a

904
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:42,840
Speaker 1: broadcasting standpoint, when you call a Super Bowl as opposed

905
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 1: to the eighteen regular season in playoff game you guys

906
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: did bucks Rams. Is it different? Yeah, it's different. I'd

907
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 1: love to tell you it's not, but it's different. And

908
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 1: I can remember in that particular moment with that interception,

909
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,879
Speaker 1: Al was brilliant. I mean, you go back and listen

910
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 1: to the call. He gets Malcolm Butler's name out the

911
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: second that had happened. Meanwhile, while he's finishing up, I'm

912
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 1: over there thinking I'm getting ready to cause a real

913
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,799
Speaker 1: start right here. I want to think this thing all

914
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 1: the way through in every way possible, because I literally

915
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 1: had to say what was on my mind, which was,

916
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 1: I can't believe the calls field. I wasn't so sure

917
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,359
Speaker 1: that the Patriots weren't going to let them score if

918
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,879
Speaker 1: they had rolled out Russell Wilson put him on the edge,

919
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:30,800
Speaker 1: give him a run pass option. Maybe, Okay, I've got that,

920
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 1: But I thought it was one of the really strange calls,

921
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 1: but they said that was what they had planned all along,

922
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: and I go, yeah, but did you see Marshawn Lynch

923
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 1: just run it from the five down to the one?

924
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 1: I go, you know, sometimes plans change, So yeah, it's

925
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: different and you want to get it right. But we're

926
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 1: all human. Players are gonna make mistakes, the coaches are

927
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 1: gonna make mistakes, the announcers are gonna make mistakes, and

928
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 1: the officials are going to make mistakes. So that's what

929
00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:00,959
Speaker 1: makes it such a high wire. You know, It's it's

930
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,359
Speaker 1: walking the tight rope at the end of the day,

931
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be heroes emerge. They're gonna be going

932
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:10,799
Speaker 1: to emerge. There's gonna be storylines about what we've said

933
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:13,319
Speaker 1: during the course of the broadcast, what the referees did.

934
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,399
Speaker 1: It is just what the world watching you play eight

935
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 1: seasons for the Bengals. You know the players, you know

936
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 1: this fan base. Have you given any thought about what

937
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 1: you're gonna say if these Bengals win this Super Bowl,

938
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 1: millions of viewers around the world, all the Cincinnati Bengals

939
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 1: fans d Hall, It's not gonna matter. I'll tell you

940
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:34,400
Speaker 1: why I say that, because I've done enough of these games,

941
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 1: and when I just do a regular season game, my

942
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 1: goal is to get fifty percent of each side going.

943
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 1: He is completely biased against my team, So I know

944
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:48,280
Speaker 1: that's the that's the social media take, no matter who's

945
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 1: playing it. When I do a Bengals game, it is

946
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 1: overwhelmingly why do I hate the Bengals? Right? That's the

947
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 1: storyline that cot out of it. So now it's going

948
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:02,360
Speaker 1: to be he's completely biased in favor the Bengals or

949
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:04,879
Speaker 1: why does he hate the Bengals. There's only two things.

950
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:08,479
Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna go and go on social media, go bloy.

951
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 1: What a good point Chris just made on that, still

952
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: stout staying that that's not happen. So I'm trying not

953
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 1: to think about what might happen if we get to

954
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:24,799
Speaker 1: the Bengals at the end. You know, I'll be happy

955
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 1: for the Rams if they win it. Well, I have

956
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: a little extra hard string for the Bengals if they

957
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:32,280
Speaker 1: happen to win it. Maybe. So I'm just a human,

958
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 1: that's it. It's nice for you to remain objective when

959
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: you see me doing confetti angels. If the Bengals went

960
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 1: out there, tell Fred Goodella, I'd like the zoom. Please

961
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:43,960

962
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 1: up for those Bengals. Thanks Chris D. Hall. That's what

963
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 1: I'll be talking about at the end of the day.
