1
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: The family.

2
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 2: My name is Jeremiah whos and Pollymore linebacker which Steves

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,039
Speaker 2: and Browns and this the NFL Report.

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 3: Welcome into a playoff edition of the NFL Report. J

5
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 3: Okays in the postseason, Steve White, James Palmer. But for

6
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 3: some reason, Steve, we're not talking about these games a

7
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 3: whole lot, because there's a boatload of news in the

8
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 3: NFL with all of these coaches that we've seen in

9
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 3: their spots forever no longer coaching the respective teams. We'll

10
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 3: get to Bill Belichick, We'll get to Pete Carroll. We'll

11
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,279
Speaker 3: also have three monster guests on this show. Dave Canals,

12
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 3: the offensive coordinator for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, is brilliant

13
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 3: on this show. He is a head coaching candidate already

14
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 3: after one year being an offensive coordinator. We also have

15
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 3: Deebo Samuel, who's gonna be on the couch this week

16
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 3: just like all of us watching Super wild Card weekend

17
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 3: because he has a buye in the first round. And

18
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 3: then we also have Andre Read, the Hall of Fame

19
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 3: wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills, one of the best

20
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,479
Speaker 3: to ever do it. What does he think about Josh

21
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 3: Allen in the postseason. This show is loaded, Steve.

22
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 4: Jap We are so so stacked with the show, and

23
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 4: like you said, we'd love to talk a lot of

24
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 4: wildcard football. But the big news, the big news is

25
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 4: the goat in New England. Bill Belichick and the Patriots

26
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 4: have officially parted ways.

27
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 5: Robert and I after you know, a series of discussions,

28
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 5: have usually agreed to part ways. And for me, this

29
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 5: is a day of you know, gratitude and celebration. Start

30
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 5: with Robert and his family. It's great, so much. Thanks

31
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 5: for the opportunity to be that coach here for twenty

32
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 5: four years. It's an amazing opportunity received from out of support.

33
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 5: We had a vision of you know, Billy and winner

34
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 5: billing championship football team here and that's exceeded, exceeded my

35
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 5: wildest dream and expectations, the amount of success that we

36
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 5: were able to achieve together. Always to be a Patriot,

37
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 5: I look forward to coming back here, but at this time, uh,

38
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 5: you know, we're gonna we're gonna move on, and I

39
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 5: look forward excited for the future.

40
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 4: It with former Patriots head coach Bill Belichick at the

41
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 4: news conference announcing that he is no longer with the

42
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 4: Patriots and JP. As we found out later from owner

43
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 4: Robert Kraft, he is not asking for any type of

44
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,399
Speaker 4: trade compensation from any team that wants to hire Bill Belichick.

45
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 4: He is a free agent, just like Tom Brady was.

46
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 4: Go ahead, go about your way. Thanks for all of

47
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 4: the great things that you've done. And first off, you

48
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 4: know this was handled with dignity and just the perfect

49
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 4: tone as we expected, and Robert Craft made everyone know

50
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 4: that this was an amicable decision, that there's no hostility there.

51
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 4: So j B, let's let's push things forward. First off,

52
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 4: with Bill Belichick. I mean, you think, with all of

53
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 4: his accomplishments, he'd be at the front of the line

54
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 4: for every team, but we know that's not necessarily the case.

55
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 4: Ben Jonson, the OC for the Lions, you talk to people,

56
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 4: is the number one hot coaching candidate. But some of

57
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 4: the teams JAP that we're hearing that may pursue Bill Belichick.

58
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 4: The Carolina Panthers may take a swing. The Dallas Cowboys

59
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 4: are out there, the Chargers, But the one team universally

60
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 4: when you talk to people is the Atlanta Falcons.

61
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 3: James, Yeah, I'm not sure how many people you've heard

62
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 3: it from Steve. I've probably heard it from I don't

63
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 3: know a half a dozen around the league that this

64
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 3: is one that the Falcons have been doing their work

65
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,119
Speaker 3: for a few weeks on Bill Belichick.

66
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 6: Now, what we're all curious about Steve is what.

67
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 3: Type of group wherever he goes is Bill Belichick going

68
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 3: to bring with him? Now, I will say this, at

69
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 3: seventy two years old, recently had a production meeting with

70
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 3: him and Rich Eyes and Kurt Warner and I were

71
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 3: calling the game on Christmas Eve between the Patriots and

72
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 3: the Broncos. I'll tell you this, this is a guy

73
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 3: that still has an unbelievable passion for coaching. Kurt Warner

74
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 3: asked him in the production meeting, Steve, what do you

75
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 3: still love about coaching? He said, everything from the day

76
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 3: to day film work, from the scheming, from every aspect

77
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 3: of it. He is still dialed in like you wouldn't believe.

78
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 3: And you saw that from the players the way they

79
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 3: played for him in New England. So where does he

80
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 3: take that? Who does he take it with? When you

81
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 3: look at Atlanta, that's probably the spot right now if

82
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 3: you looked at it. He needs what to get the

83
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 3: all time record fifteen wins if you include the postseason,

84
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 3: that's probably the spot where he can get those fifteen wins.

85
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 3: The soonest with the roster that's in place, a defense

86
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 3: that was very good this past season. There's an offense

87
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 3: that's almost kind of put together in the y Bill

88
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 3: Belichick was trying to put together an offense in New

89
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 3: England the last couple years, Steve. They're physical, they run

90
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 3: the ball, they have a decent offensive line. They just

91
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 3: don't have a quarterback. Now they have the eighth pick,

92
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 3: they have cap space. What's your thought on who comes

93
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 3: with him? That's the conversation that I think we need

94
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 3: to be having. Is it Josh McDaniels, Is it you

95
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 3: know Matt Patricia, who that he's used to being around.

96
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 3: Does he have to talk to Arthur Blank and say

97
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 3: I'm coming, but I'm also coming with these guys as well?

98
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 6: Is that a potential issue?

99
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 4: Look, if Arthur Blank is gonna take the swing for

100
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 4: Bill Belichick, he's gonna let him bring whoever he wants. Now,

101
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 4: who wants to stay in New England? Okay, you know

102
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,799
Speaker 4: we know that, Mike Vrabel, Could you know the Tennessee

103
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 4: Titans coach who's let go could be you know, could

104
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 4: go to New England, Gerd Mayo, who's there. Maybe he

105
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 4: keeps some people, but Josh McDaniels very much is in

106
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 4: play here to be you know, the offensive coordinator or

107
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 4: some type of assistant. I have heard that from several people.

108
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 4: Matt Patricia, we'll see. You would expect that he would

109
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 4: bring his sons, including Stephen who was a defensive coordinator

110
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 4: of sorts up in New England, but then also bring

111
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 4: in some other people. And let's not forget Terry Fonto,

112
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 4: the falcony general manager is still employed. But somebody who

113
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 4: could be pushed out of the door if Belichick does

114
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 4: come in, or put in some other type of role

115
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 4: in the front office where his power is marginalized. But

116
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 4: again you mentioned it, James, the roster is built just

117
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 4: like how Bill Belichick wants it. And which interesting today

118
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 4: is the Falcons on their social media website also showed

119
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 4: the construction of their already fantastic facility of a brand

120
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 4: new weight room, brand new cafeteria and all these other

121
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 4: amenities that they're adding again to one of the best

122
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 4: facilities in the NFL. Well, j P. Bill Belichick, He's

123
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 4: going to continue coaching but another one of the great

124
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 4: coaches in the NFL he's done, and that is Pete

125
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:28,119
Speaker 4: Carolyn Seattle, and he is going upstairs. Let's hear from Pete.

126
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 7: This isn't about me being the head coach. It's about

127
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 7: this organization being successful and being on course for the

128
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 7: long haul of it as well. And I realized that,

129
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm not as well as you can get

130
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 7: in this business. And there's coming a time they got

131
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 7: to make some decisions, and so moving towards the future,

132
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 7: if there's some way that I can add something to

133
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 7: them down road, we'll see what happens.

134
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 3: You know, this is a really interesting one, Steve, because

135
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 3: we've seen some people move upstairs before. We saw it

136
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 3: happened with Bruce Arians in Tampa, and you saw who

137
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 3: take over somebody that is connected to bea in Todd Bowle,

138
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 3: somebody that he was stumping for to get that head

139
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 3: coaching position. Now, Pete Carroll says he's going to let

140
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 3: general manager John Schneider make this decision. He is not

141
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 3: going to be involved in making this accept making this decision.

142
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 3: But what I'm looking at is do you go or

143
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 3: are you forced to look at somebody that maybe has

144
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 3: a similar philosophy. Because Pete's still in the building, that

145
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 3: looks at dan Quinn, who's coach under him before you

146
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 3: have Dave Canalis. We mentioned him at the top of

147
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 3: the show Tampa Bay just now and he's going to

148
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 3: be joining the show, and we should say, you want

149
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 3: to hear about his offensive philosophy coming up in the show,

150
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,119
Speaker 3: But we did speak to him prior to the news

151
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 3: with Pete Carroll, so we didn't get a chance to ask.

152
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 6: Him about it.

153
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,679
Speaker 3: Or do you go completely to the other side, Steve,

154
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 3: where you find a complete different philosophy that Pete Carroll

155
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 3: has been preaching the opposite of it in a sense,

156
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 3: I want to see what kind of net they're putting

157
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 3: out there. In terms of their candidates. Dan Quinn looks

158
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 3: like one that should definitely be at the top of

159
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 3: the list. He's at the top of a lot of

160
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 3: people's list that they want to talk to him. But

161
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 3: his ties to Seattle that seems like one that we're

162
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 3: all going to be looking at very quickly.

163
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 4: Everything you hear from people is dan Quinn. It's his

164
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 4: job to lose. Now they're good, they have to cast

165
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 4: a widening. Remember that every team has to adhere to

166
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 4: the Rooney Rule, which says you must speak to two

167
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 4: minority candidates from outside of your organization.

168
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 6: So they're gonna speak to a lot of people.

169
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 4: But I think the two folks who are at the

170
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 4: top of the list right now are Dan Quinn, the

171
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 4: Cowboys defensive coordinator, who has strong ties to that building,

172
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,599
Speaker 4: and Dave Canalis, who again we've mentioned we continue to

173
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 4: mention he was the OC there last year. He worked

174
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 4: as the quarterback coach with Russell Wilson and Gino Smith

175
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 4: were there, and he's been with Pete Carroll since Pete

176
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 4: was at USC. And if Pete Carroll is in the building,

177
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 4: whether it's an advisory role like we saw Bruce arians

178
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 4: do in Tampa Bay, or in a more kind of

179
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 4: czar role like we saw Tom Coughlin do after he

180
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 4: left the Giants and oh yeah, back to the Jaguars,

181
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 4: they're probably going to stay in line in that kind

182
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 4: of Seattle connected family. With all I'm thinking other coaches

183
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 4: like Gus Bradley who's now the DC and Indy those

184
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,719
Speaker 4: are people who are there. But it's again, this is

185
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 4: another team that's got to go get a quarterback. They've

186
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 4: they've got to evolve that way, and they've got to

187
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 4: fix things on defense. So it's going to be very

188
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 4: intriguing to see because I think both of these organizations,

189
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 4: the Patriots as well, everything is pointing to them kind

190
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 4: of staying within the family as well. And it's just

191
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 4: intriguing to me. How you know, you want to break

192
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 4: from the grandpa or their old dad from the family

193
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 4: in both cases and then bring up junior to inherit

194
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 4: or to take over and run the business, but the

195
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 4: same touches with his own style. JP.

196
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,599
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's the fascinating part of this.

197
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 3: And if you want to know more about the potential

198
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 3: top guys in New England, Girod Mayo and Mike Rabel

199
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 3: in the family. As Steve just said, listen to our

200
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 3: last episode or watch our last episode on YouTube. Phil

201
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 3: Perry from NBC Sports Boston breaks it down brilliantly about

202
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 3: how those guys are in the family, but they'd also

203
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 3: do it entirely their own way and it would be different.

204
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 3: The part that I want to break down, Steve is

205
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,599
Speaker 3: they were just on the precipice of making the postseason

206
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 3: in Seattle. If they would have made the postseason, I

207
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 3: don't know if that would have changed their things in

208
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 3: this process at all. So what's your thought real quick

209
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 3: on is this just because it was time with Pete

210
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 3: or in this hiring cycle, perhaps they have their eye

211
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 3: on a candidate or two that are available now and

212
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 3: that's why they wanted to make sure they pulled the trigger.

213
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 4: A great question, and I think it's a combination of both,

214
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 4: because we know Dan Quinn is arguably, other than Ben Jonson,

215
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 4: the hottest candidate. Other teams are coming after him, but

216
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 4: this is one that I personally know he would love

217
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 4: to be a He loves that organization, so they might

218
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,719
Speaker 4: say this might be our chance to get him and

219
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 4: to continue with that energy that Pete's built, but build

220
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 4: up to the next level. Here's a real quick one too.

221
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 4: I want to go back to Bill Belichick. One of

222
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 4: the teams we did not talk about with him is

223
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 4: the LA Chargers, and it wouldn't it be interesting JP,

224
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 4: And I'm throwing this out there before we go to break.

225
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 4: If he were to come to the Chargers and you

226
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 4: have a division with Andy Reid, Bill Belichick, Sean Payton,

227
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 4: and either Antonio Pierce or Jim Harball. Now that would

228
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 4: be something spectacular not gonna.

229
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 3: Have that is a division. And the one name we

230
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 3: haven't broken down a whole bunch is Mike Rabel Steve.

231
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 3: He's one of the top candidates out there, not just

232
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 3: in New England, in other places. Remember he's one of

233
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,719
Speaker 3: the top coaches, still in his forties, though still a

234
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 3: younger guy after parting ways with the Tennessee Titans. And

235
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 3: speaking of younger guys, Deebo Stanley who still got a

236
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 3: lot of juice left in those legs Steve, and he

237
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,719
Speaker 3: gets a week to kind of rest him before the

238
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 3: forty nine ers get into the playoff mix with the

239
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 3: number one seed in the NFC, Deebo Samuel joins the

240
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 3: show next.

241
00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 8: Did see Mitchell now way, but it's an and your

242
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 8: Toadebo Samuel coming right, turns the corner and.

243
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 4: Goes into the NDS up touchdom.

244
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 8: Sad Francisco Pardy blocks lap now middle trolls Cott broke

245
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 8: a tackle by Deebo Samuel. Watch my first top thirty

246
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 8: twenty fifty ten FI touchdown.

247
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 4: Sad Francisco r JP. We are continuing this huge show

248
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 4: today as we are joined by Deebo Samuel, the wide

249
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 4: receiver mister do everything for the forty nine ers. Deebo,

250
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 4: It's up man.

251
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 9: How you doing man? How you doing good?

252
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 4: Hey, we're we are excited about this. Look, we know

253
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 4: you guys have to have the buy this week, but

254
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 4: you've been here before, all right. What about this team

255
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 4: and the way you finished the season makes you feel

256
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 4: that you are ready to make that special run this postseason?

257
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 10: Man, I can write a blue about his answer, but uh,

258
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 10: you know, I mean, it's just it's just the the

259
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 10: It's just the mentality of the team and how much

260
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 10: love everybody have for each other. And you know a

261
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 10: lot of people have been here since I've been here,

262
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 10: and you know, we always been at the end of

263
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 10: the tunnel. But now at the end of the tunnel

264
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,719
Speaker 10: that makes sense for us, you know, making it to

265
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 10: the Super Bowl, losing the Super Bowl, and making it to.

266
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 9: The NFC Championship and losing the NFC Championship.

267
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 10: So I feel like there's a there's a bigger picture now,

268
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 10: and there's a different mentality for us, you know, going

269
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 10: into this playoffs and knowing what it takes to get there,

270
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 10: and you know, we got all the people that we

271
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 10: need here and we get a lot of guys back,

272
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 10: and I think, you know, here's a big opportunity for

273
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 10: us to go and do it.

274
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 6: People.

275
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 3: We had telling no One who funk on this show

276
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 3: at the beginning of the season, and we were talking

277
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 3: to him exactly what you were just kind of saying there.

278
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 3: At the beginning of the year, you guys had a

279
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 3: look that maybe nobody else in the NFL kind of

280
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,599
Speaker 3: had in the way you were beating teams. Then you

281
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 3: had that three game losing stream you didn't play, Trent

282
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 3: was out, and then the way you guys finished the season,

283
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 3: it seems like you almost got that same look or

284
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 3: feel that you guys had at the beginning of the

285
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 3: year back at the end of the year.

286
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 6: And I'm curious how much.

287
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:09,959
Speaker 1: Of that is.

288
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 3: What when you're on the field and with when Trent's

289
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 3: on the field changes the way the vibe of everything

290
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 3: really is.

291
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 9: I don't know. I wouldn't say it too much. I

292
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 9: wouldn't say it changed too much of the vibe.

293
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 10: I just feel like once you got everybody that's a

294
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 10: part of the team and everybody together as one, I

295
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 10: feel like your team is just overall better. I feel

296
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 10: like if you're missing a guy here you're missing a

297
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 10: guy on defense or special teams, it's gonna kind of

298
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 10: look a little different, you know, but everything still go

299
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 10: the same. But it is good to help all hands

300
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 10: on Dick at all times. And you see how good

301
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 10: we is what we have.

302
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 6: Everybody speaking of Trent Williams.

303
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 4: Okay, we know you and him come out with the

304
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 4: box and you guys kind of lead things this way.

305
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 4: But we know all the superstars you guys have on

306
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 4: your team. We know Trent's considered one of the most dominant,

307
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 4: if not the most dominant offensive tackle. But is there

308
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 4: anything that's happened in a game or in a film

309
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 4: set where you all sit there where you're like, Trent

310
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 4: is like like next level special, like next level good.

311
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 6: I seen it.

312
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 9: Uh, It's crazy because I go back to kobd year

313
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 9: with this answer, like.

314
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 10: We had to move out of out of San Jose

315
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 10: or whatever and move to Arizona, and me and Trent

316
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 10: had an airbnb down there at the time, and I

317
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 10: was just, you know, just be chilling walking around the

318
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 10: house playing the game or whatever, and I see Trent

319
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 10: and there, like watching film twenty first seven. So I

320
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 10: came in there one day and I'm just like, bro,

321
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 10: let me just see what you're watching. You know what

322
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 10: I'm saying, And he's literally watching himself and the things

323
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 10: that he do and how he attacked people. And know

324
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 10: literally every move that a person is going to do

325
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 10: is just crazy to me. And it just transfer over

326
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 10: to the field. You can see the way you know,

327
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 10: he practiced on Thursdays and it's just carry over to

328
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 10: the game on Sunday.

329
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 6: He's unique, Debo, You're unique as well.

330
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 3: You told I was listening to you told our good

331
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 3: friend k Adams said that Kyle helps you out get

332
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 3: them those couple of rushing yards you needed in Week

333
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 3: eight teams to become just the second player in NFL

334
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 3: history to have four thousand receiving yards one thousand rushing

335
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 3: yards in your first five years. I know stats are

336
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 3: one thing, championships are another. But your unique ability, how

337
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 3: much do you kind of take pride in your ability

338
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 3: to hurt defenses in a variety of ways.

339
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 10: I take pride and still being able to play this game,

340
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 10: but I love to play for one. But I mean

341
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 10: it's just my mentality is no, I'm a selfless player

342
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 10: and I'm gonna do whatever it takes for this team

343
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 10: to get where they want to be and whatever it

344
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 10: takes that cow asks me to do, whether it's you know,

345
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 10: go kick return or be a running back here and

346
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 10: get in a line over right beside trend and kind

347
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 10: of pinning the defense in and it's just.

348
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 9: Whatever it is, And it's just the mentality of this team.

349
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 9: And it's not just me.

350
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 10: It goes from you know, Brox to quarterbacks, so he's

351
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 10: not doing no blocking, but it kind of go on

352
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 10: down from Christian McCaffrey to all the wine out the

353
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 10: tight ends to the old line. It's just like the

354
00:16:58,240 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 10: way that we go out here and go about it

355
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 10: have been, Like you can just tell it's just one

356
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 10: big group that love the game played football.

357
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 4: Brock's not doing any blocking, but he's making it happen. Hey, deeb,

358
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 4: But when I look at this, you guys throw the

359
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 4: ball less than any team in the NFL, yet you

360
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 4: have four players, including yourself, with sixty or more catches.

361
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 4: What is it that makes it work so efficiently? Like

362
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 4: when you do throw it, guys get their hands on

363
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 4: the ball and make something happen. And I don't want

364
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 4: to hear the stuff that it's just all Deak and

365
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 4: dunk passes because you guys do stretch the ball down

366
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:30,719
Speaker 4: the field as well.

367
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,919
Speaker 10: Yeah, we chucked it down the field now, I mean

368
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 10: it's just crazy. I didn't know that until you said it,

369
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 10: but I mean you just go down the line and

370
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 10: like it's just crazy.

371
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 6: Like we have.

372
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 9: I think we built the culture well, Kylin, John and Jed, the.

373
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 10: Guys up top built the culture here of guys that

374
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 10: you know that's really good with the ball in their hands.

375
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 10: And you know, it's just amazing to have four guys

376
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 10: on offense with a thousand plus scrimmage yards and it

377
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 10: just shows, you know, the capability and like, this guy's

378
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 10: the limit for this team right now.

379
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 6: Offense.

380
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 4: So we have we have some breaking news. We're recording

381
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 4: this on a Wednesday, but Pete Carroll is out as

382
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 4: the head coach in Seattle. I am not joking. This

383
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 4: is a real right Before I go, yeah, I mean,

384
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 4: what are your thoughts on that? Because that's some dude

385
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 4: in his team that you competed against for quite some time.

386
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 10: Man, I tell you, since I've been in this league,

387
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 10: that man has done an out standing job over there

388
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,439
Speaker 10: in Seattle. For sure, everybody probably will we will probably

389
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 10: remember him as the coach that you've.

390
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 9: Gone all the time.

391
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 10: But overall, like, man, the man done the house standing

392
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 10: job over there in Seattle since I've been.

393
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 4: In the league.

394
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 10: And you know, we love to play him, and you know,

395
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 10: I think he's a great coach. Don't know him too

396
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 10: much because you know, I'm not over there and whatnot.

397
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 10: But you know, man, I think he's done a great

398
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 10: job since he's been there.

399
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 6: Yeah, he really has.

400
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 3: He's I hope I'm that youthful debo when I'm Pete's age.

401
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 3: I mean, the guy still got the gloves on catching passes,

402
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 3: pre game, running around the field. It's been a broke

403
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 3: joy to watch him coach in Seattle. What I'd ask

407
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 3: get back playing again.

408
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 10: We don't consider this is a bye week, man, This

409
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 10: is a week of preparation without a game.

410
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 9: And so like today, we was in as a whole.

414
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 10: so we don't look at this as like too much

415
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 10: of a bye week. But you know, it is about

416

Speaker 10: we don't know who we're preparing for. We just got

429
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 10: You know, sleep and then play a main role and

430
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 10: a main part and the way you play and the

431
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 10: way you prepare also is a great recovery drink whenever

432

Speaker 10: those types of things.

434
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,719
Speaker 9: So it's just something I do weekend and week out

435

00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 3: the postseason. Dave, I have to start off with this,

466
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 3: thank you for joining us. I know you don't need

467
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 3: any added energy, you already bring enough. But what's the

468
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 3: juice like that? We're preparing for postseason football right now?

469
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 11: Man, A lot of excitement around here, you know. Fortunately,

470
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,199
Speaker 11: I come from a place who has seen the postseason

471
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 11: quite a bit walk into another place four straight seasons

472
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 11: going to the postseason, three straight NFC South championships, So

473
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 11: there's a buzz around the building. This feels very familiar

474
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 11: to a lot of guys. So for us, you know,

475
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 11: it's just about having that one to no mentality. And

476
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 11: as you know, we've been playing playoff football for over

477
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 11: a month now, trying to keep our postseason live.

478
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 4: So Dan, as you mentioned, you come from a place

479
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 4: that would be Seattle for those who don't know, we

480
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 4: spent a long time. But I want to take it

481
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 4: to the Buccaneers, because you know, you're in a situation

482
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 4: where you know, you came in and you got this

483
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 4: offense going, and people didn't think it was going to

484
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 4: be able to get rolling like this. You've got this

485
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 4: run game going. But your quarterback, Baker Mayfield. He is

486
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 4: the only other quarterback besides Tom Brady to throw for

487
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 4: more than four thousand yards, to have twenty five plus

488
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 4: touchdowns and fewer than ten interceptions. What can you say

489
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 4: about his resurgence and honestly his toughness because what he

490
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 4: played through in Week eighteen was it was amazing watching

491
00:22:58,760 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 4: him grit through that game.

492
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 11: I can't say enough about Baker. Just the opportunity, you know,

493
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 11: to be able to work with the guy with so

494
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 11: much experience, you know, thrown into the fire right away,

495
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 11: first overall pick. But for him to just continue to

496
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 11: believe in himself, to believe in his teammates, build relationships,

497
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 11: grow with this offense as we're putting in a new

498
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 11: system with new words for everybody involved. But to watch

499
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 11: him really, you know, tough it out a bunch of

500
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 11: games throughout the season and especially last week, you know,

501
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 11: to be there for us to make critical plays when

502
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 11: we needed him at the end of the game. I

503
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 11: can't say enough about his just mental toughness to overcome,

504
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 11: you know, the challenges that he faced physically to be

505
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 11: able to be available for us.

506
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,439
Speaker 6: Yeah, dealing with a rib injury, dealing with an ankle injury.

507
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 3: And you describe the way Baker's done it, But Dave,

508
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:48,959
Speaker 3: I'm curious how you've done it because we look at

509
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 3: the year prior to this and what you guys didn't

510
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 3: seeattle with Gino Smith, and then you look at Baker

511
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 3: here and these let's just be honest, some people around

512
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 3: the league say these are essentially cast offs. What is

513
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 3: the process that you when you look at a quarterback

514
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 3: you're going to be working with and you go about

515
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 3: making sure you put them in a position to succeed.

516
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 3: What's your process in that when you examine their game.

517
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,360
Speaker 11: I think the biggest thing is, even especially when you're

518
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 11: introducing a new offense, is is that we do need

519
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 11: a starting point and we do need a place to

520
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 11: teach words, to teach route stems, depths, different things like that.

521
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 11: But as we go, I think it's just really important.

522
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 11: It was for Gino, you know, it was for us

523
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 11: before that, and now with Bakers, that we become the

524
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 11: version of our offense that puts them in the most

525
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 11: comfortable and confident place where they can play fast and decisive.

526
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 11: And so we've become something that has a Baker Mayfield

527
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 11: twist to it, you know. And I think that's the

528
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 11: beauty of our system is that we haven't we have

529
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 11: enough conference, you know, over the years to kind of

530
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 11: evolve into who our people are. You know, it's the media,

531
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 11: you factor, it's learning how to throw to Mike, learning

532
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 11: how to throw to Chris Godwin, Kate out and how

533
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 11: do we use Rashad White out of the backfield, you know,

534
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 11: and a bunch of other guys that I hate that

535
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 11: I'm not mentioning, but I think it's being able to

536
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 11: just kind of swallow your pride and say, hey, I'm

537
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 11: not going to live and die on this concept. What

538
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 11: is he throwing? And you can always tell by that

539
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 11: confidence on that back foot when it goes into the

540
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 11: ground firmly and the ball comes out and he rips it.

541
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 11: You know, he loves to play. How can we build

542
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 11: this play a few more ways for him to be

543
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 11: able to execute it?

544
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 4: Well? I love hearing that because I mean some of

545
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 4: the technicalities and see some of the small nuances as

546
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 4: you say this, this is what's gonna work. And you know,

547
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 4: with that point you mentioned Rashad White.

548
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 6: The running game.

549
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 4: This is something that has been a struggle for the

550
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,880
Speaker 4: Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the past two seasons. And now

551
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 4: you have established the run game that sets up that

552
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 4: run action that really opens up your offense. What about

553
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 4: the way you've got this offensive line playing again, establishing

554
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 4: someone like Rashad White to operate that functionality of the

555
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 4: offense that you were just talking about.

556
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 11: This is where I get to really pump my staff.

557
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 11: Harold Goodwin so everybody knows him as goodie, and Joe Gilbert,

558
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 11: He's great. Nobody had nobody had a bigger impact on

559
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 11: this season than those two guys. You take Tristan Wurf's

560
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 11: put him on another side. You take Luke Gottacky and

561
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 11: you move him from guard to tackle. You introduce Cody

562
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 11: Mak a rookie to the mix. Robert Hainsey starts his

563
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 11: full season. You know, we started out with Filer at

564
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 11: the left guard. Stinny comes in after that, Aaron Stinny

565
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 11: and those guys just being able to really work with them,

566
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 11: improve their technique, get them confident in their ability passing

567
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 11: off stunts in the past, protection combling in the run game,

568
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,719
Speaker 11: and then really becoming a run game that suits us,

569
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 11: that suits our body types, our abilities. Not worry about

570
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 11: what we can't do, but let's focus on what we

571
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,360
Speaker 11: can do. You know what does Reshod run so well?

572
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 3: You know?

573
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 11: And and that was like a full season effort. You know,

574
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 11: we really saw it in the second half of the season.

575
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 11: You know, we saw our rush per game average go

576
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 11: up twenty yards, you know, and in that stretch, you know,

577
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 11: we had a bunch of victories. We took some knees

578
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 11: and we just battle man and we knew that we

579
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 11: were going to have to run the ball, giving the

580
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 11: guy's confidence, putting him in formations where we could be

581
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 11: aggressive and play fast. And so I really got to

582
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 11: give a lot of love. I mean, I got to

583
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 11: talk about John Dan Damer tight ends coach as well,

584
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 11: because those guys are such versatile tight ends to be

585
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 11: able to allow us to do a lot of the

586
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 11: stuff that we did.

587
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 3: And Dave, that offensive line does a brilliant job. You're

588
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 3: describing it in the run game. But obviously everybody loves

589
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 3: to throw the football, right, let's have a little fun

590
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 3: with it. And Mike Evans, everybody knows the name. I

591
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 3: still don't think he gets enough credit for what he

592
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 3: does for your offense and offenses he's been in prior.

593
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 6: I'm just curious from a play caller and.

594
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 3: Play designer standpoint, when you have that skill set on

595
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 3: the outside that Mike has, what does that do for you?

596
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 6: What advantage does that give you as a play caller.

597
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 11: Yeah, it gives you a starting point. And I think

598
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 11: that you know, whatever sport it is, whatever you know,

599
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 11: position it is, there's something that you got to have

600
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 11: a starting point, a focal point of your offense that

601
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 11: kind of allows you to try to anticipate what defenses

602
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 11: are going to do. You know, whether it's this amazingly

603
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 11: powerful run game is a start point. Here come the

604
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 11: hard actions. It's Mike Evans, and you know they're going

605
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 11: to try to put one or two, sometimes three players

606
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 11: to his side. How can we take advantage of the

607
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 11: rest of the field, you know, And of course the

608
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 11: greatest challenge for us is, like we still got to

609
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 11: find a way to get him involved while they're doing this,

610
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 11: while they're while they're making efforts way, how can we

611
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 11: make the rest of it come to life? The screen game,

612
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 11: the run game, the passes to the other side, putting

613
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 11: him in different spots in formation. But for me, you know,

614
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 11: it allows me to kind of set my mind on

615
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 11: here's the starting point. Now can we build from here?

616
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 6: Dave?

617
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 4: You know the thing we're talking about you've done with

618
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 4: this aspense and the and the way so many guys

619
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 4: have developed. But it's also happened when you were in

620
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 4: Seattle with Russell Wilson, with Gino Smith, and as a

621
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 4: result you you've been requested to be, you know, a

622
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 4: head coaching candidate. I mean, your name is out there.

623
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 4: How are you approaching that part of it knowing that

624
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 4: you've done some good things and people are recognizing it

625
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 4: just where you might be the next guy who gets

626
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 4: a head coaching job.

627
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 11: I mean, it's surreal for me. And you know, the

628
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 11: first thing I think about is just a lot of

629
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 11: the guys that contributed to this, you know, and the

630
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 11: rest of the staff members in Seattle that were a

631
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 11: part of just kind of developing a system over the

632
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 11: years and evolving with the different players that come in

633
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 11: and come out. You know, get here to Tampa and

634
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 11: just you know, like really trusting our staff to take

635
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 11: their rooms, to teach the mentality to be positive, to

636
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 11: be about development, you know, and really searching to push

637
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 11: our guys. And so I think about all my guys

638
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 11: and it just like overwhelms me with gratitude. I'm so

639
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 11: appreciative that, you know, I get to have these opportunities

640
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 11: come and this recognition. But you know, I'd be remiss

641
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 11: if I didn't talk about Brad. It's it, you know,

642
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 11: the great job you did with third down and Thad

643
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 11: Lewis with the red zone. I talked about Goodie and Joe,

644
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,239
Speaker 11: but skip Pete and the running back room teaching them

645
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 11: what we're looking for. You know, John Van Damas has

646
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 11: done a great job with our first and second down

647
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 11: run the past marriage, all the guys all up and

648
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 11: down our staff. You know, every every person on our

649
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 11: staff has a role that I'm counting on them to

650
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 11: bring to every week so that we have this versatile

651
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 11: attack where it's not all just coming from me alone.

652
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 11: So I couldn't have done it without those guys. And

653
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 11: of course great players, you know, and Baker coming in

654
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 11: and playing fantastically and really being a threat on third downs,

655
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 11: the finish, the mentality, and above all, just the guys

656
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 11: really loving to come to work and coach together and

657
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 11: practice together. It's been really special and I'm excited to

658
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 11: finish this season the right way. And as the things

659
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 11: come and those opportunities come, I got an idea about

660
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 11: how I want to go about that too.

661
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 3: All Right, Dave, I don't know if this modesty is

662
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 3: going to work in a head coaching position. I mean,

663
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 3: you know, you're just putting the lot off else but yourself,

664
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 3: the staff, the players, everybody nothing about you, but you're

665
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 3: You're You're a brilliant offensive mind, and you're one of

666
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 3: the few Latino coordinators in the NFL. I'm curious what

667
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 3: that means to you and your success with the spotlight

668
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 3: we're talking about getting shined on you, how that could

669
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 3: possibly or potentially open up the doors for others after you.

670
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:19,479
Speaker 9: Right?

671
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 11: Yeah, For me, it's about belief and opportunity and and

672
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 11: obviously i've I've I was with coach Carol for fourteen years,

673
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 11: started off coaching in Carson Kelton in LA, where my

674
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 11: brothers and I are from. But so I take a

675
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 11: lot of pride in it. You know, there's a whole

676
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 11: other story about you know, my grandpa, and you know

677
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 11: the fight and struggle that my grandparents had, you know,

678
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 11: my dad being first generation, just going to college and

679
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 11: all that. But just the belief to dream big, to

680
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 11: go aspirations, the work ethic that comes along with it,

681
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 11: which is a really prideful thing for me being a

682
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 11: Mexican American, is just to be able to take every

683
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 11: job that you have, whether big or small, and to

684
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 11: attack it with pride and have a sense of purpose

685
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 11: and identity in it. So it means a lot, and

686
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 11: hopefully it encourages somebody out there to just like, hey man,

687
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 11: this is sky's a limit. We live in a great country.

688
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 11: Football is one of the greatest sports products that there is,

689
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 11: you know in terms of you know, viewership and opportunities,

690
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 11: but just to believe, you know, believe and continue to

691
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 11: just show up and do whatever's asked and being willing.

692
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 6: To do that.

693
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 4: Dave fantastic. I love I love hearing that. I love

694
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 4: what you've done, I love what you represent. Best of

695

716
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 4: know you have a full schedule. But before we get going,

717
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 4: we're gonna hit on a lot of different things. We

718
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 4: got to talk about your Buffalo Bills, right This is

719
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 4: a dangerous football team that really showed unbelievable mental toughness

720
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 4: last week to win the AFC East Drey. They were

721
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:00,479
Speaker 4: six and six. They were talking about firing Sean McDermott, right, well,

722
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 4: the people on the outside were, And now they go

723
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 4: on this run. What do you see with this team

724
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 4: that makes him seem so dangerous going into the playoffs.

725
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 2: We can spend an hour on what this team has

726
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 2: done the past five weeks. I mean left for dead

727
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,839
Speaker 2: at six and six after twelve weeks. Basically they had

728
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 2: to win out to a certain point and get some

729
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 2: help and you and you hit the nail on the head.

730
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 2: Sean McDermot and that coaching staff and that organization has

731
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 2: really done a great job with those guys of having

732
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 2: them believe that it's all in your hands if you

733
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 2: just go out win regardless of what happens.

734
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 1: You can't say that you guys didn't go out there

735
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 1: and kind of lay an egg.

736
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 2: And they have responded, you know, going to Kansas City,

737
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 2: that was a tough game. The only two games in

738
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 2: that five game streak that I was worried about was

739
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 2: the LA Chargers and the Patriots, two teams that could

740
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,760
Speaker 2: spoil your your your your run to get to the playoffs,

741
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 2: and they squeak by there. It wins the wins, especially

742
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 2: at this time of year. They played Kansas City straight up.

743
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:09,839
Speaker 2: They made some plays at the end to win that game.

744
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 2: Miami last week was another another one. You just never

745
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 2: knew what was gonna happen. They played, Uh, they played

746
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 2: excellent dare down the stretch. You got an interception tailor

747
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 2: rap at the end to seal that.

748
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 1: And then the Cowboys, you know, the Cowboys were one

749
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:26,280
Speaker 1: of the hottest teams coming into Buffalo.

750
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 2: I was actually act that game. Anything could have happened there,

751
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 2: even though they were home. They beat the They beat

752
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:33,439
Speaker 2: the Cowboys pretty good.

753
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 6: Yep.

754
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 1: Uh so I think they believe that.

755
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 2: And now they take on a Pittsburgh Steeler team that's

756
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,240
Speaker 2: that believes they can win, obviously.

757
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: But coming into Orchard Park, they don't want to repeat

758
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: it what happened last year.

759
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 2: You guys remember the Cincinnati Bengals came in there last

760
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,839
Speaker 2: year and and it seemed like the Bills didn't even

761
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 2: show up.

762
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,800
Speaker 1: And everybody can talk about.

763
00:35:55,600 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 2: Well, you know, the Deamar Hamlin thing, the weather, all

764
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff could have been a factor, but

765
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 2: they still had to show up, and they didn't show up.

766
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 2: And I don't see that happening coming up Sunday against

767
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,240
Speaker 2: the Steelers at home. They're not gonna have a repeat

768
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 2: of that. And they're just a team that's very dangerous.

769
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 2: You guys said that earlier. They're a dangerous football.

770
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 6: Team right now, and they did it.

771
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 1: They're doing this. We're not a lot of their starters.

772
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: You know, Trey White goes out early in the season,

773
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: Matt Mulano goes out, kind.

774
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 2: Of like the quarterback of the defense. The two corners

775
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 2: that played that played well these last five six games,

776
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:38,240
Speaker 2: matter of fact, all year, Benford and Dane Jackson. Taylor

777
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 2: rap coming in, like I said before, making that interception

778
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 2: in Miami this.

779
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 1: Past weekend to seal that deal.

780
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:48,320
Speaker 2: So everybody has stepped up to the plate and everybody's contributed.

781
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: That's why they're in the position they are today.

782
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 2: And probably the biggest thing that they've done this year,

783
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 2: more than any year in the past five years, six years,

784
00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:59,760
Speaker 2: is they let James Cook.

785
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:00,800
Speaker 1: How about that?

786
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 6: There you go, It's right, let James James. Let James Cook.

787
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 3: I andre I was with this team a couple of times,

788
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 3: right when they made that change early on at offensive

789
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 3: coordinator and Joe Brady takes over. I did that game

790
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 3: in Philadelphia where they came up short, but there was

791
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 3: no denying that Josh Allen was the best player.

792
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 6: On the field in that game.

793
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 3: I did the game in Kansas City where they ended

794
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 3: up starting to turn this whole thing kind of around,

795
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 3: and I look at what Joe's doing with Josh and

796
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 3: getting him in a rhythm, getting him comfortable is the

797
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 3: biggest part of seeing a lot of the success he's having.

798
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 3: But obviously the turnovers still kind of happen as well.

799
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 3: But the magical plays do they outweigh a couple of

800
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 3: the mistakes that can happen here or there? What How

801
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,800
Speaker 3: do you sum him up as a player because the

802
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 3: brilliance is so off the charts at times? Do you

803
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 3: just say, we know, maybe a missdup here there will happen.

804
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 2: I just hope now that they're, you know, in the

805
00:37:55,640 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 2: playoffs and this game is really important at home, you

806
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 2: just gotta let Josh. I mean, people got to realize

807
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,479
Speaker 2: Josh has to be Josh. He's one of the top

808
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 2: five quarterbacks in the league. When he's at his best.

809
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 2: He is the best quarterback in the league. To me,

810
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 2: that's because I played there. I just think he has

811
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 2: all the intilligibles that you want in a quarterback, leadership

812
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 2: and arm strength, and the guy can run. He can

813
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 2: run people over. He can do everything that some of

814
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 2: the quarterbacks can't do in this league. But he's gonna

815
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 2: make those mistakes. Is how you come back from him.

816
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 2: And Josh has done that, and that team believes in him.

817
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,439
Speaker 2: I mean, you can see Stefan Diggs in his face.

818
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:40,400
Speaker 2: Everybody's in his face about things. And every time something

819
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 2: like this happens, when he throws a pick that shouldn't

820
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 2: be you know, he shouldn't have threw it, they pan

821
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 2: on him and you can see not only the frustration

822
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 2: in him, but all the other players coming up to

823
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 2: him and say, hey man, you're our guy.

824
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 11: We believe in you.

825
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:56,320
Speaker 1: And that's really what Josh is about.

826
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 2: And Joe Brady, like you said, he's done a fabulous

827
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 2: job him of letting him be Josh Allen.

828
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: Just be Josh Allen.

829
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 6: Make the runs.

830
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 1: If you don't see anything, run run run run run.

831
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 4: Run, Hey Andre, you know, let's let's change gears a

832
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,720
Speaker 4: little bit. Because you know, we we love talking about

833
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 4: on the show slot slot defensive backs and slot receivers.

834
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 4: And you're one of the greatest slot receivers, one of

835
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 4: the greatest slot receivers ever. That's why you're forever enshrined

836
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 4: in Canton. But it's funny, and you know this, when

837
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 4: you played, the value on slot receivers isn't what it

838
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 4: is today. How is that position evolved and why do

839
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 4: you think it is such an important part of the

840
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 4: game now.

841
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,839
Speaker 2: Well, I think when I played, you know, during during

842
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 2: the time I played, it was the no huddle, and

843
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:44,479
Speaker 2: if you looked at Houston Houston Owlers, the old school

844
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 2: Houston Olers, they had a way of spreading people out

845
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 2: with all their receivers, with Jefferies and and Ernest Gibbons

846
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:53,280
Speaker 2: and Drew Hill and all those guys.

847
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 1: I think right now the game.

848
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 2: They spread people out, but they bring that they bring

849
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 2: that James Cook kind of guy that can catch out

850
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 2: of the backfield, catch the ball out at the backfield,

851
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 2: and they bring the receivers in too. So they want

852
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 2: to spread people out and try to get confusion like

853
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 2: we did back in the day. I think the slot

854
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 2: receiver is still a very important integral part of an

855
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,800
Speaker 2: offensive game plan because that guy is going to be

856
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 2: the guy a lot of times that either he's gonna

857
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,839
Speaker 2: get doubled or he's not gonna get double. He's gonna

858
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 2: be one on one. And the middle of the field

859
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 2: is really important. A lot of times the middle of

860
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 2: field is left wide open and you've got to have

861
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 2: that slot guy in there that can beat two guys.

862
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 2: You got to beat the guy on you, and you

863
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:37,720
Speaker 2: got to be able to beat that deep safety wherever

864
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,799
Speaker 2: he is. So I don't think it has diminished at all.

865
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 2: They really rely on that slot guy like a Keenan

866
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 2: Allen keen Awa had one hundred and eight catches this

867
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 2: year because they relied on him.

868
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: They knew that he can make those plays in that slot,

869
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: and you know a lot of these guys can do that.

870
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 3: I gotta ask you really quick, and we're gonna make

871
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 3: time for the Hall of Fame receivers that you want

872
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 3: to talk about, but very quickly. Deebo Samuel's on this show,

873
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 3: Andre he plays out of the spot. What's your thought

874
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 3: on Deebo's game? Real quick Debo's debo. He's like he's

875
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 3: like the movie Friday Debo. I mean I've talked I

876
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 3: had a chance to really talk to him a couple

877
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 3: of years.

878
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:21,439
Speaker 2: I think last year, two years ago, up to Super

879
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 2: Bowl and actually we were doing a hang and they

880
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 2: had just played the Cowboys the week before, and Treyvon

881
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 2: Diggs was sitting with us, and to hear those two

882
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,800
Speaker 2: go at it, it was pretty pretty entertaining. But you know,

883
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 2: obviously Debo is not only a tough guy to cover,

884
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:42,359
Speaker 2: but he creates a lot of mismatches. You never see

885
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 2: a linebacker on him. And every time he catches the ball,

886
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 2: he's you can run you over. You know, he's one

887
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:53,760
Speaker 2: of a kind. So he's Yeah, Debo's Debo. Bottom line, love.

888
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 4: That respect for one of the greatest yack receivers to

889
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 4: ever do it in you talking about probably the best

890
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 4: yack receiver in the game today. Lastly, Andre, and you

891
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 4: know this man, you had to wait a long time

892
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 4: to get into the hall because of the wide receiver

893
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 4: log jam. Well here we are again of the fifteenth

894
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 4: finalists left, Reggie, Wayne Tory, Holt, Andre Johnson. Another logjam

895
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:20,799
Speaker 4: of wide receivers. Do you think any of them, if

896
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 4: maybe not, multiple of them get in or as we've

897
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 4: seen before. They tend to cancel each other out when

898
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 4: these voters select because there's so many of them.

899
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I've talked to all three of them the

900
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 2: past five, six, seven years, and it's not like they

901
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 2: look at me and say, hey, what's going on. I

902
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 2: mean back in the day, you guys know it's me

903
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:41,800
Speaker 2: Chris and Tim Brown.

904
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:42,359
Speaker 6: Yep.

905
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 1: And years later it's the same thing with Andre Johnson, Reggie.

906
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 11: Wayne and Toy.

907
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,399
Speaker 2: And I hope this year is a year they kind

908
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 2: of not kind of, but I hope this year is

909
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 2: the year the voters get it right and put one

910
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 2: or two of those guys And to those guys would

911
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 2: be awesome. Whether that happens or not, it's never happened,

912
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:06,240
Speaker 2: I don't think, but I think it's time that that happens.

913
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 1: These guys all are deserving.

914
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 2: Their their numbers are all up there, they're impacting, the

915
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 2: game is tremendous. They all deserve it. And I just

916
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 2: hope one of this year that one of those guys

917
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 2: or two of those guys get in matter of fact,

918
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 2: put all three of them in.

919
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, put all three in.

920
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:29,759
Speaker 3: I don't want to say any I don't want to

921
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,279
Speaker 3: say Andre anything pushes anybody over the edge. But two

922
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 3: of the three have been on the show recently with

924

00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:55,879
Speaker 6: I got them JP.

975
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 4: We've all across this media landscape talked about for weeks

976
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 4: what the flaws are for the Kansas City Chiefs. Well,

977
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 4: let's talk about maybe how and why they can run

978
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 4: it back. There are some elements there as to why

979
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 4: they can get back to the Super Bowl games.

980
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 6: Oh there are. This is one of the best defenses

981
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:14,319
Speaker 6: in the postseason.

982
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:17,800
Speaker 3: This is an offensive mind in Andy Reid that is

983
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 3: unmatched really, you would say in the postseason right now,

984
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 3: and you have the base of the NFL and the

985
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 3: best player in football and Patrick Mahomes. It hasn't been

986
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:27,320
Speaker 3: great on that side of the ball, Steve, But what

987
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 3: I want to see and maybe we will because this

988
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 3: is what Patrick Mahomes was talking about this week.

989
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 6: You're not going to win fourteen games every season, which

990
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 6: is what he's used to this year, he has not.

991
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:38,799
Speaker 3: He said, how do you find a different way once

992
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:41,879
Speaker 3: you're in to go through the process and still find

993
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:42,799
Speaker 3: ways to win games?

994
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:44,720
Speaker 6: Is this when he channels his inner Tom Brady?

995
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:47,359
Speaker 3: Every season for Brady, the Tea years that they won

996
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl, Steve were not perfect, but when they

997
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:51,799
Speaker 3: got to the postseason, he found a way to win

998
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 3: football games. And this is something that Patrick Mahomes has

999
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 3: been keeping his eye on forever. He's always asked Brady

1000
00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 3: questions for advice. He's always been studying Bray. He wanted

1001
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 3: Blaine Gabbert to come in as his backup this year

1002
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:06,280
Speaker 3: because of his time with Tom Brady. So I'm fascinating

1003
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 3: to see what Patrick Mahomes does to win games in

1004
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 3: a different fashion this postseason than what they've done in

1005
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:15,640
Speaker 3: years past, because let's just face the facts, the team

1006
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 3: is different than it's been in years past, and how

1007
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 3: do they adapt.

1008
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 6: I think they had the ability to do it. We'll

1009
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:21,840
Speaker 6: see if it's possible.

1010
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:25,319
Speaker 4: I love that, James, because we haven't talked about that enough,

1011
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 4: you know, in the past years because they were just automatic,

1012
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 4: you know, they were the team that could flip the

1013
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:31,399
Speaker 4: switch on, but they didn't need to because they usually

1014
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:34,120
Speaker 4: were rolling into the playoffs. Remember this is the first

1015
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 4: time where they could possibly go on the road if

1016
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 4: they win this Saturday night against the Miami Dolphins. And

1017
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomes and I love you you did the comp

1018
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 4: to Tom Brady because think about how many times they

1019
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:48,279
Speaker 4: got it going. Okay, we got back in practice this week.

1020
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 4: It is a new season, you know, Isaiah Pacheco. We

1021
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:54,439
Speaker 4: may get some wide receivers back, Nicole Hardman, maybe he's

1022
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:57,759
Speaker 4: up to speed. The offensive line we got time to

1023
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:00,359
Speaker 4: get into a groove. And Travis Kelcey, remember he sat

1024
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 4: out Week eighteen. Maybe he's feeling need it better and

1025
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 4: get things going because he just hasn't looked like the

1026
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 4: same player. But you mentioned that defense, and that's gonna

1027
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 4: be huge against the Miami Dolphins. Lagerius Sneed We've been

1028
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:14,239
Speaker 4: bigging him up all season. He's gonna have Tyreek Hill

1029
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 4: an awful lot. That's gonna be an opportunity to try

1030
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:20,239
Speaker 4: to slow him down just a little bit. And if

1031
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:23,400
Speaker 4: they get past this game, James, this is a.

1032
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:24,919
Speaker 6: Team want to play.

1033
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 4: I think I think this is the real test for

1034
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 4: them because once they get by this, this might show

1035
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 4: everybody else that this could be the dangerous team real quick.

1036
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:36,240
Speaker 4: What's a sleeper game or sleeper scenario for you wild

1037
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 4: Card weekend? Could it be Philadelphia where quarterback Jalen Hurts

1038
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 4: has not even thrown the ball as of Thursday because

1039
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 4: of a finger injury.

1040
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's massive.

1041
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 3: I covered that game with Jacksonville was essentially a postseason

1042
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 3: game for them trying to get in against the Tennessee Titans,

1043
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:54,719
Speaker 3: and there was some things that Trevor Lawrence hadn't thrown

1044
00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 3: a ball for two weeks that you saw affecting that offense. Now,

1045
00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 3: this is a week this is a finger, but it's

1046
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 3: it's just something we're gonna have to keep an eye on.

1047
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 3: And I'm also looking at that top game right there.

1048
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 6: What if CJ. Stroud comes out.

1049
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 3: In balls against that dominant defense, Oh boy, maybe the

1050
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:12,560
Speaker 3: best defense in the postseason the Cleveland Browns have. That

1051
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 3: would just be an unbelievable showcase down there at NRG Stadium.

1052
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 4: Steve, I want to pick up wheur guy. Andre Reed

1053
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 4: was talking about the Buffalo Bills and Pittsburgh Steelers.

1054
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:25,520
Speaker 6: And some of the things that come with josh Aallenge. Yeah,

1055
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:26,640
Speaker 6: some of the giveaways.

1056
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 4: Look during this five game win streak that they've had, James,

1057
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 4: four of those games have been one possession games and

1058
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:34,720
Speaker 4: they have turned the ball over eight times. The Steelers

1059
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 4: are not a team that you want to turn the

1060
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:39,200
Speaker 4: ball over against at this time of year because they're

1061
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 4: hitting two or three explosive plays a game. That's where

1062
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 4: Mason Rudolph you can do it.

1063
