I'm gonna start, and I'm gonna 18 00:01:11,308 --> 00:01:15,068 Speaker 1: go a little bit different direction. While I think this 19 00:01:15,268 --> 00:01:17,668 Speaker 1: person is going to shine on Sunday, I think it's 20 00:01:17,748 --> 00:01:19,708 Speaker 1: more to bring it back to what we kind of 21 00:01:19,788 --> 00:01:21,548 Speaker 1: know and love about just football in general. It's just 22 00:01:21,668 --> 00:01:23,868 Speaker 1: like the love for the sport and where you grew 23 00:01:23,988 --> 00:01:26,148 Speaker 1: up and like who it made you into as a 24 00:01:26,228 --> 00:01:28,628 Speaker 1: person and a player. These guys get put on a 25 00:01:28,748 --> 00:01:31,348 Speaker 1: national level, and sometimes it's good to check back into 26 00:01:31,348 --> 00:01:33,948 Speaker 1: who they were and where they came from. So offensive 27 00:01:33,988 --> 00:01:36,068 Speaker 1: tackle right tackle for the forty nine Ers, San Francisco 28 00:01:36,148 --> 00:01:38,788 Speaker 1: Baris Mike McGlinchey is a Philly boy. He went to 29 00:01:38,908 --> 00:01:42,548 Speaker 1: William penn Charter School before he went to Notre Dame 30 00:01:42,548 --> 00:01:43,988 Speaker 1: and then drafted by the forty nine Ers and on 31 00:01:44,108 --> 00:01:48,548 Speaker 1: he went. He's protecting Brock Curdie. He has been a 32 00:01:48,628 --> 00:01:50,828 Speaker 1: starter for the last couple of years from forty nine Ers. 33 00:01:51,028 --> 00:01:53,908 Speaker 1: He's going home to play Philly. His parents own a 34 00:01:54,508 --> 00:01:58,748 Speaker 1: hardware store in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. His entire family will 35 00:01:58,788 --> 00:02:01,468 Speaker 1: be in forty nine Ers gear in the middle of 36 00:02:01,668 --> 00:02:05,428 Speaker 1: Philadelphia's stadium on the game on Sunday. And he's just 37 00:02:05,668 --> 00:02:07,428 Speaker 1: he's been making a name for himself out in the 38 00:02:07,468 --> 00:02:11,148 Speaker 1: Bay Area. But he's Matt Ryan's cousin where Matt Ryan 39 00:02:11,228 --> 00:02:13,548 Speaker 1: went to the same high school. And here is I mean, 40 00:02:13,668 --> 00:02:15,228 Speaker 1: the man looks like he was meant to play in 41 00:02:15,268 --> 00:02:17,188 Speaker 1: the NFL when you compare the size of the other 42 00:02:17,268 --> 00:02:19,268 Speaker 1: high school players. Is But Penn Charter is a great 43 00:02:19,268 --> 00:02:22,308 Speaker 1: football program in the city, in the area of Philadelphia. 44 00:02:22,948 --> 00:02:25,988 Speaker 1: It's a great school. He had a tradition going on 45 00:02:26,108 --> 00:02:27,628 Speaker 1: like any other before he went on to Notre Name 46 00:02:27,628 --> 00:02:29,468 Speaker 1: in the San Francisco. But to have a young man 47 00:02:29,788 --> 00:02:32,108 Speaker 1: grow up in Philadelphia, go to Notre Dame and get 48 00:02:32,188 --> 00:02:33,708 Speaker 1: drafted by the forty nine ers to come back and 49 00:02:33,828 --> 00:02:36,308 Speaker 1: play one win away and he could do it at 50 00:02:36,388 --> 00:02:38,668 Speaker 1: home in Philadelphia, I think is a really special thing. 51 00:02:38,708 --> 00:02:41,428 Speaker 1: And I just wanted to highlight it. Mike McGlinchey, folks 52 00:02:41,508 --> 00:02:43,868 Speaker 1: there you have it.

The Bengals, 166 00:08:16,748 --> 00:08:18,188 Speaker 1: they have a little bit of an edge. You got 167 00:08:18,308 --> 00:08:21,028 Speaker 1: this cocky young team led by Joe Thorow, and he's 168 00:08:21,068 --> 00:08:22,388 Speaker 1: going to go out there and try to do what 169 00:08:22,468 --> 00:08:24,188 Speaker 1: he's been doing, and that's beat the Chiefs. Now on 170 00:08:24,228 --> 00:08:27,188 Speaker 1: the flip side, I think you hear the Chiefs understanding 171 00:08:27,548 --> 00:08:30,828 Speaker 1: what's at stake. As far as the narrative of this game, 172 00:08:31,068 --> 00:08:32,828 Speaker 1: you know all of a sudden that the Bengals they 173 00:08:32,908 --> 00:08:35,108 Speaker 1: got the Chiefs number. Really, and if I'm a player 174 00:08:35,108 --> 00:08:36,948 Speaker 1: in that locker whom we're talking about us each about 175 00:08:36,948 --> 00:08:40,348 Speaker 1: the team that won a Super Bowl more recently, the 176 00:08:40,428 --> 00:08:42,588 Speaker 1: team that has one of the best quarterbacks of all time, 177 00:08:42,788 --> 00:08:45,348 Speaker 1: a team that has put together a run of five 178 00:08:45,468 --> 00:08:48,868 Speaker 1: consecutive AFC title games. You're talking about the Bengals have 179 00:08:49,028 --> 00:08:51,708 Speaker 1: the advantage on us, So they're going in with their 180 00:08:51,748 --> 00:08:55,268 Speaker 1: mindset on rewriting the narrative. But as far as the stadium, 181 00:08:55,708 --> 00:08:58,948 Speaker 1: the fans know that too. It will be loud, it 182 00:08:59,068 --> 00:09:02,188 Speaker 1: will be crazy, and I'm good with that for four quarters. 183 00:09:02,268 --> 00:09:04,828 Speaker 1: I want it loud and crazy. But at half time, 184 00:09:04,868 --> 00:09:07,468 Speaker 1: all I'm asking, hey, just just don't put no speakers 185 00:09:07,548 --> 00:09:09,188 Speaker 1: behind us when we're trying to talk. We want to 186 00:09:09,188 --> 00:09:10,588 Speaker 1: give the fans what they want, all right, and they 187 00:09:10,668 --> 00:09:13,668 Speaker 1: like to hear us speak. Squeak, squeaking in the back seat, 188 00:09:14,308 --> 00:09:20,068 Speaker 1: talk about him. No speakers, speakers blasting. You're talking about 189 00:09:20,108 --> 00:09:23,788 Speaker 1: rewriting the narrative. Brock Purty has continued to rewrite the 190 00:09:23,908 --> 00:09:27,068 Speaker 1: narrative of his young career. He could possibly become the 191 00:09:27,268 --> 00:09:30,828 Speaker 1: first ever rookie quarterback to take his team to the 192 00:09:30,908 --> 00:09:33,308 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. How does he get that done? What is 193 00:09:33,348 --> 00:09:36,268 Speaker 1: the key for him against the Eagles? Three keys, and 194 00:09:36,348 --> 00:09:38,708 Speaker 1: there's three things that he's gonna have to fight up against. One, 195 00:09:38,788 --> 00:09:41,188 Speaker 1: it's that explosive offense of the Philadelphia Eagles. We know 196 00:09:41,268 --> 00:09:42,548 Speaker 1: that they can put up points. They can do it 197 00:09:42,588 --> 00:09:44,148 Speaker 1: in the air, do it on the ground. As long 198 00:09:44,228 --> 00:09:45,948 Speaker 1: as he can keep up with the points that the 199 00:09:46,028 --> 00:09:48,948 Speaker 1: offense is scoring to have a shot. Defensively, the Eagles, 200 00:09:49,348 --> 00:09:52,028 Speaker 1: they're fast, they go out there and they make plays. 201 00:09:52,228 --> 00:09:54,148 Speaker 1: So he's gonna have to do what we're seeing right here, 202 00:09:54,228 --> 00:09:56,708 Speaker 1: take care of the ball and keep it away from 203 00:09:56,708 --> 00:10:00,428 Speaker 1: their linebackers and dbs because these dbs they will try 204 00:10:00,508 --> 00:10:03,708 Speaker 1: to turn PBUs into I and T s And that's 205 00:10:03,748 --> 00:10:06,748 Speaker 1: what this defense does. After the offensive line, the defensive 206 00:10:06,788 --> 00:10:09,908 Speaker 1: line collapse. The pressure makes quarterbacks so uncomfortable. That's when 207 00:10:09,948 --> 00:10:11,948 Speaker 1: the back end comes in and then third and I 208 00:10:12,028 --> 00:10:13,908 Speaker 1: think this might be the most important key of all. 209 00:10:14,028 --> 00:10:15,948 Speaker 1: He's going to have not only beat the players on 210 00:10:15,988 --> 00:10:18,708 Speaker 1: the field, he's going to have to beat the fan base. 211 00:10:19,388 --> 00:10:22,068 Speaker 1: This fan base for the Philadelphia Eagles, if you haven't 212 00:10:22,108 --> 00:10:27,148 Speaker 1: played there, it gets wild, it gets nasty, and they're passionate. 213 00:10:27,388 --> 00:10:29,188 Speaker 1: I would say some of the most passionate fans in 214 00:10:29,228 --> 00:10:31,348 Speaker 1: the business. And I know we've been talking about how 215 00:10:31,748 --> 00:10:34,028 Speaker 1: this fan base can't get nasty and don't wear an 216 00:10:34,068 --> 00:10:36,588 Speaker 1: opposing team jersey. I'm not gonna say that. I mean, listen, 217 00:10:36,668 --> 00:10:39,668 Speaker 1: there's some Eagle fans. They're downright dirty and they talk crazy, 218 00:10:39,788 --> 00:10:41,468 Speaker 1: and that's cool. As long as they don't put your 219 00:10:41,508 --> 00:10:43,508 Speaker 1: hands on you. I'm good with that. So brock pretty 220 00:10:43,588 --> 00:10:45,188 Speaker 1: is going to have to face this new type of 221 00:10:45,308 --> 00:10:47,108 Speaker 1: energy that he hasn't faced before. Just think about it. 222 00:10:47,268 --> 00:10:49,388 Speaker 1: During these seven games that he has won, we're giving 223 00:10:49,468 --> 00:10:52,028 Speaker 1: him credit. I'm not taking anything away from him. But 224 00:10:52,308 --> 00:10:54,868 Speaker 1: he's only had two games on the road. That's Seattle 225 00:10:55,108 --> 00:10:57,948 Speaker 1: in Las Vegas. Okay, So Seattle not a bad place 226 00:10:57,988 --> 00:10:59,748 Speaker 1: to play, right, I know what it's like to play there. 227 00:10:59,828 --> 00:11:01,508 Speaker 1: But then Las Vegas, they were a team that was 228 00:11:01,588 --> 00:11:04,628 Speaker 1: basically stumbling their way out of playoff contention. So he 229 00:11:04,748 --> 00:11:07,228 Speaker 1: hasn't had a test like this on the road in 230 00:11:07,388 --> 00:11:10,188 Speaker 1: the playoffs, up against the best team in football. So 231 00:11:10,308 --> 00:11:12,268 Speaker 1: those are the three keys. It's true name and when 232 00:11:12,268 --> 00:11:14,308 Speaker 1: you talk, people get hyped, and it's just what you do. 233 00:11:14,468 --> 00:11:15,948 Speaker 1: It is one of your gifts. One of your gifts 234 00:11:16,028 --> 00:11:18,988 Speaker 1: is also surprisingess at the table sometimes with your musical taste, 235 00:11:19,028 --> 00:11:21,268 Speaker 1: I know. And once you lean on your Seattle roots 236 00:11:21,308 --> 00:11:23,588 Speaker 1: and we're talking about your familiarity with grunge, you once 237 00:11:23,668 --> 00:11:25,948 Speaker 1: did a whole monologue on the show about the Google dolls. 238 00:11:26,028 --> 00:11:28,268 Speaker 1: It's not all the things that you usually are into, 239 00:11:28,388 --> 00:11:32,068 Speaker 1: so Nate. That leads us to this pregame playlist. What 240 00:11:32,268 --> 00:11:34,868 Speaker 1: would be a track on a pregame playlist for you 241 00:11:35,188 --> 00:11:38,668 Speaker 1: that would be considered maybe a guilty pleasure hype song. Yeah, 242 00:11:38,708 --> 00:11:40,708 Speaker 1: you're talking about Sound Garden Black Hole Sun, one of 243 00:11:40,748 --> 00:11:44,268 Speaker 1: my favorite songs ever. But as far as pregame playlist listen, 244 00:11:44,588 --> 00:11:47,788 Speaker 1: I can go Biggie Pock, I could go jay Z Drake, 245 00:11:47,988 --> 00:11:50,268 Speaker 1: Little Wayne Ti Nas, I can do all of that, 246 00:11:50,388 --> 00:11:52,588 Speaker 1: and that's on the list. But you're talking about guilty pleasure, 247 00:11:52,988 --> 00:11:55,148 Speaker 1: something that if you just popped open that hand phone, 248 00:11:55,148 --> 00:11:58,548 Speaker 1: you'd be surprised. Man, give me Britney Spears Till the 249 00:11:58,668 --> 00:12:03,548 Speaker 1: World Ends remix featuring Nicki Minash. You wouldn't even expect that, 250 00:12:03,668 --> 00:12:07,468 Speaker 1: But I'm telling you, Nicki Mnage came on that track 251 00:12:07,548 --> 00:12:10,468 Speaker 1: and she was doing her day and then Brittany oh 252 00:12:10,668 --> 00:12:13,388 Speaker 1: Man Brittany Left Earth on that track. So yeah, I 253 00:12:13,548 --> 00:12:15,948 Speaker 1: love that song and if you haven't heard it, listen 254 00:12:15,988 --> 00:12:17,788 Speaker 1: to it right now. All right, It's one of the 255 00:12:17,868 --> 00:12:20,828 Speaker 1: best songs ever, especially before a football game. One of 256 00:12:20,828 --> 00:12:25,548 Speaker 1: the best song. Nate's back. It's an absolute family. I 257 00:12:25,628 --> 00:12:29,508 Speaker 1: could not agree more. Nate, it's my pleasure to congratulate you. 258 00:12:29,628 --> 00:12:32,788 Speaker 1: Your resume has now bled on to a third page. Yeah, 259 00:12:32,868 --> 00:12:35,468 Speaker 1: it sounds like there's some exciting news too. We want 260 00:12:35,508 --> 00:12:37,668 Speaker 1: to celebrate on the show. Next Thursday, you will be 261 00:12:37,788 --> 00:12:39,868 Speaker 1: enough to the East West Shrine Bowl Hall of Fame, 262 00:12:40,628 --> 00:12:43,628 Speaker 1: college football's oldest all star game. What was your reaction 263 00:12:43,708 --> 00:12:46,828 Speaker 1: when you heard this news. I was blown away. Almost 264 00:12:47,188 --> 00:12:50,588 Speaker 1: twenty years ago, I got this call that I'd be 265 00:12:50,748 --> 00:12:53,348 Speaker 1: participating in the East West Shrine Game. And as a 266 00:12:53,388 --> 00:12:55,348 Speaker 1: college football player, that's what you want. You want to 267 00:12:55,388 --> 00:12:58,028 Speaker 1: be acknowledged as one of the guys. And you know, 268 00:12:58,148 --> 00:13:00,348 Speaker 1: I immediately went to my wife and I showed her 269 00:13:00,388 --> 00:13:02,588 Speaker 1: and she was happy for me because we were just 270 00:13:02,748 --> 00:13:05,788 Speaker 1: young kids in love at that time before the journey 271 00:13:05,828 --> 00:13:08,948 Speaker 1: of the NFL started. But this was the first opportunity 272 00:13:08,948 --> 00:13:11,188 Speaker 1: I had. I had a chance to stack up against 273 00:13:11,308 --> 00:13:13,668 Speaker 1: my peers. You know, when you're in this bubble playing 274 00:13:13,668 --> 00:13:16,948 Speaker 1: against guys within your conference, you necessarily don't know. But 275 00:13:17,148 --> 00:13:19,188 Speaker 1: there's only a few opportunities. There's an All Star game 276 00:13:19,228 --> 00:13:21,028 Speaker 1: in the combine, and for me, this was the first 277 00:13:21,028 --> 00:13:23,108 Speaker 1: step knowing that I was as good as all of 278 00:13:23,148 --> 00:13:25,028 Speaker 1: these other dudes that I've been seeing on TV, and 279 00:13:25,228 --> 00:13:26,908 Speaker 1: as good as some of these guys that have been 280 00:13:27,028 --> 00:13:31,228 Speaker 1: to bigger programs and are more appreciated than me at 281 00:13:31,268 --> 00:13:33,188 Speaker 1: that time. So it's going to be a great week. 282 00:13:33,788 --> 00:13:36,188 Speaker 1: East West Trine game. Check it out. You know, I'll 283 00:13:36,228 --> 00:13:38,948 Speaker 1: be in Vegas celebrating with my wife and I'm going 284 00:13:38,988 --> 00:13:40,828 Speaker 1: to say a little something, drop some gems on the 285 00:13:40,908 --> 00:13:43,908 Speaker 1: guys that are involved in this game. That's so cool, Nate, 286 00:13:43,988 --> 00:13:46,668 Speaker 1: we love it. Congratulations and we've heard so many stories 287 00:13:46,668 --> 00:13:48,588 Speaker 1: about you and your wide receiver class. And it was 288 00:13:48,628 --> 00:13:51,308 Speaker 1: Andre Johnson and it was Charles Rogers and those guys 289 00:13:51,348 --> 00:13:53,188 Speaker 1: got on the fame. But you are a third round 290 00:13:53,268 --> 00:13:55,428 Speaker 1: pick and you had an amazing eleven year career and 291 00:13:55,508 --> 00:13:58,068 Speaker 1: we love you for it. Real quick. Last year, that 292 00:13:58,268 --> 00:14:00,828 Speaker 1: Applebee's song with Walker Hayes was on in the background. 293 00:14:00,868 --> 00:14:02,548 Speaker 1: I just looked it up. Do you know who the 294 00:14:02,588 --> 00:14:05,788 Speaker 1: halftime performer is for Sunday? Are you? I'm not aware? 295 00:14:05,828 --> 00:14:08,788 Speaker 1: Who is it? Can I spoil this for everybody? Nate? 296 00:14:08,828 --> 00:14:14,708 Speaker 1: Fat Joe? That Joe is performing? Take it away? Dude, 297 00:14:16,348 --> 00:14:18,268 Speaker 1: So you know what's gonna you know, what's gonna happen. 298 00:14:18,628 --> 00:14:20,388 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be out there trying to do my thing 299 00:14:20,508 --> 00:14:23,348 Speaker 1: professional as usual. Hey, listen, Joe Burrow has to stay 300 00:14:23,348 --> 00:14:25,268 Speaker 1: in the pocket. If they could keep him in the pocket, 301 00:14:25,348 --> 00:14:27,668 Speaker 1: then and then all of a sudden, Fat Joe gonna 302 00:14:27,668 --> 00:14:29,348 Speaker 1: start performing. I'm gonna get up and I'm gonna just 303 00:14:29,348 --> 00:14:36,108 Speaker 1: be like, okay, all right, fat lean back, a lean back. Hey, 304 00:14:36,428 --> 00:14:38,788 Speaker 1: I'm about to leave the desk, and don't be surprising 305 00:14:38,788 --> 00:14:40,948 Speaker 1: if you see me on the field performing with Fat Joe. 306 00:14:41,308 --> 00:14:43,548 Speaker 1: Oh my god, that is so good. See they can 307 00:14:43,668 --> 00:14:46,268 Speaker 1: do that, and then he can reference black Hole Sun. 308 00:14:46,668 --> 00:14:48,228 Speaker 1: Let's be honest, it should be called the Whitehole Sun. 309 00:14:48,308 --> 00:14:52,228 Speaker 1: But you're incredible, Quinn, tuple threat, whatever you are at 310 00:14:52,268 --> 00:14:54,268 Speaker 1: this point, we love you. Well done, Nate, good luck 311 00:14:54,348 --> 00:14:57,108 Speaker 1: this week and love you too. Thank you. Appreciate Joe 312 00:14:57,228 --> 00:15:15,348 Speaker 1: man hoop, you did it again. All right, It's time 313 00:15:15,388 --> 00:15:18,228 Speaker 1: to break down some matchups between the biggest names taking 314 00:15:18,268 --> 00:15:19,948 Speaker 1: the field this weekend, because there is nothing we love 315 00:15:20,068 --> 00:15:22,628 Speaker 1: more than having a take, putting her name to it 316 00:15:22,708 --> 00:15:24,988 Speaker 1: and being held accountable for it. Yeah, here is another 317 00:15:25,188 --> 00:15:27,668 Speaker 1: edition of head to head. Here's how it's going to 318 00:15:27,748 --> 00:15:29,268 Speaker 1: work one by one. You're going to get a set 319 00:15:29,308 --> 00:15:31,708 Speaker 1: of two players or coaches in the conference championship round. 320 00:15:31,868 --> 00:15:34,188 Speaker 1: It's as random as we can make it, randomly generated, 321 00:15:34,548 --> 00:15:36,908 Speaker 1: only generated from the four teams that are left. Well, 322 00:15:36,948 --> 00:15:39,148 Speaker 1: then have to answer a question based on who appears. 323 00:15:39,428 --> 00:15:42,188 Speaker 1: Are you prepared? Yeah? Because Jason has to go first. 324 00:15:42,628 --> 00:15:45,868 Speaker 1: Do it all right? Jay, you are being gifted in 325 00:15:45,988 --> 00:15:51,348 Speaker 1: your head to head matchup. Surprise me. Deebo Samuel and 326 00:15:51,788 --> 00:15:57,508 Speaker 1: Darius sleds Between those two, who do you think will 327 00:15:57,708 --> 00:16:02,988 Speaker 1: come out on top of this weekend? O? Deebo Samuel, 328 00:16:03,028 --> 00:16:05,828 Speaker 1: guy who aligns all over the field in the backfield? 329 00:16:05,908 --> 00:16:08,468 Speaker 1: Out why Slay? A guy who does a ton of trash, 330 00:16:08,508 --> 00:16:11,588 Speaker 1: tall and can cover any receiver in the league. When 331 00:16:11,708 --> 00:16:14,788 Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel lines up outside's matched up with Slay. I 332 00:16:14,908 --> 00:16:18,748 Speaker 1: am giving the advantage to Slay. Say I'm biased. There's 333 00:16:18,748 --> 00:16:20,668 Speaker 1: a dB on the field, but I think he can 334 00:16:20,788 --> 00:16:23,508 Speaker 1: cover up Deebo Samuel. Now when Samuel's in the backfield 335 00:16:23,628 --> 00:16:25,388 Speaker 1: and he's these quick screens, he has the ball in 336 00:16:25,508 --> 00:16:27,988 Speaker 1: his hands, is where he is most lethal. But out 337 00:16:28,068 --> 00:16:32,028 Speaker 1: why one on one? I am going with mister Slays. 338 00:16:32,068 --> 00:16:34,508 Speaker 1: A good matchup one really good matchup. Plus I think 339 00:16:34,508 --> 00:16:36,028 Speaker 1: you just wanted to say slay a couple more times. 340 00:16:36,068 --> 00:16:44,228 Speaker 1: All right, Peter, let's roll the random mindset. Get wow, 341 00:16:45,028 --> 00:16:47,428 Speaker 1: he is going to scheme up the Bengals men's cordator 342 00:16:47,508 --> 00:16:50,308 Speaker 1: against that. If you had asked us two years ago 343 00:16:50,508 --> 00:16:54,348 Speaker 1: AFC Championship game in twenty twenty three, that man's face first. 344 00:16:54,388 --> 00:16:56,188 Speaker 1: Maybe the greatest tight end to ever play the game. 345 00:16:56,228 --> 00:16:58,388 Speaker 1: And I think this one might go in this man's favor. 346 00:16:58,668 --> 00:17:01,348 Speaker 1: It's worked before whatever reason. Coach lou has a way 347 00:17:01,548 --> 00:17:03,348 Speaker 1: to bottle up Kelsey and I remember Kelsey had the 348 00:17:03,348 --> 00:17:05,428 Speaker 1: big fumble in the regular is in matchup. If you 349 00:17:05,508 --> 00:17:07,428 Speaker 1: can go back to the two times they played last year, 350 00:17:07,508 --> 00:17:10,588 Speaker 1: Kelsey does not have big games against the Bengals. Fourteen 351 00:17:10,748 --> 00:17:13,388 Speaker 1: catches last week. This man right here, Luanna Rum I've 352 00:17:13,388 --> 00:17:15,788 Speaker 1: said it before. Twenty seven different men interview for head 353 00:17:15,828 --> 00:17:19,068 Speaker 1: coaching jobs. This cycle didn't get a single review any 354 00:17:19,148 --> 00:17:21,588 Speaker 1: of the five head coaching vacancies. Let's put a show on. 355 00:17:21,748 --> 00:17:23,268 Speaker 1: I think he might be able to bottle up Kelsey 356 00:17:23,308 --> 00:17:24,868 Speaker 1: and Mahome is gonna have to beat them with somebody 357 00:17:24,948 --> 00:17:27,988 Speaker 1: else carrying the loads. Incredible that that was randomly. I 358 00:17:28,068 --> 00:17:30,668 Speaker 1: love that for you. Cool wheelhouse for you? Right, was great? 359 00:17:30,868 --> 00:17:33,308 Speaker 1: Are you ready for your XS and os question? Sure? Yeah, 360 00:17:33,348 --> 00:17:35,628 Speaker 1: that's why I live. We got to establish the running 361 00:17:35,668 --> 00:17:37,388 Speaker 1: game and then when those secondary comes in, we take 362 00:17:37,468 --> 00:17:45,708 Speaker 1: deep shots. Yeah. Yeah. Between these two guys, Trum Williams 363 00:17:45,748 --> 00:17:47,948 Speaker 1: and Jason Kelsey, who would you rather have as a 364 00:17:48,108 --> 00:17:52,028 Speaker 1: wrestling tag team partner? My partner there? Partner? Look? How cool? 365 00:17:52,148 --> 00:17:54,188 Speaker 1: All right? This is good? Who I wanted a taxing partner. 366 00:17:54,348 --> 00:17:57,388 Speaker 1: I love the era of professional wrestling where there was 367 00:17:57,428 --> 00:17:59,508 Speaker 1: a lot of big man and this is in the 368 00:17:59,788 --> 00:18:03,188 Speaker 1: sort of post Andre the Giant era when you had Earthquake, 369 00:18:03,428 --> 00:18:07,468 Speaker 1: Yoko Zuna, tug Boat who became Typhoon, who became the Shockmaster. 370 00:18:08,068 --> 00:18:09,748 Speaker 1: Their moves were just like you were down. I'm just 371 00:18:09,828 --> 00:18:11,868 Speaker 1: gonna sit on you. I'm not gonna do anything off 372 00:18:11,908 --> 00:18:14,308 Speaker 1: the top. I'll just sit on you. So Also, I 373 00:18:14,468 --> 00:18:16,508 Speaker 1: like the bad guys. I think we have more of 374 00:18:16,588 --> 00:18:18,668 Speaker 1: a face here. I think Kelsey is more of a 375 00:18:18,748 --> 00:18:21,508 Speaker 1: good guy in a light. This is a bad dude. Now. 376 00:18:21,548 --> 00:18:23,748 Speaker 1: I love Trent's not a bad guy. I'm saying he's scary. 377 00:18:23,868 --> 00:18:26,548 Speaker 1: So he would be in the Vince mcman world the enemy. 378 00:18:26,628 --> 00:18:28,628 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go here with Trent and he's he's 379 00:18:28,708 --> 00:18:32,308 Speaker 1: bigger than Kelsey, he's kind of scarier than Kelsey. He 380 00:18:32,468 --> 00:18:34,708 Speaker 1: has this mean streak to him. We played him on 381 00:18:34,828 --> 00:18:36,868 Speaker 1: offense and last year's playoffs we can tacked and do 382 00:18:37,188 --> 00:18:38,588 Speaker 1: you know what though, you know it's funny, I'm gonna 383 00:18:38,588 --> 00:18:39,948 Speaker 1: take neither of these guys are rather to go with 384 00:18:39,988 --> 00:18:42,068 Speaker 1: Jordan my Lauda on the film. Oh I go with 385 00:18:42,188 --> 00:18:50,108 Speaker 1: that tackle. That's I want some off something would be great. Yeah, 386 00:18:50,708 --> 00:18:54,348 Speaker 1: throw another belt, says Nick Foley. Mankind, that's what he 387 00:18:54,428 --> 00:18:57,988 Speaker 1: just said. It's holy man kind. Wow. Okay, that really good? 388 00:18:58,028 --> 00:19:02,148 Speaker 1: Are you ready? Are we gonna talk wrest Let's get 389 00:19:02,188 --> 00:19:04,908 Speaker 1: this thing going.

We saw Brandon Graham micd up. We 393 00:19:14,788 --> 00:19:17,628 Speaker 1: add George Kita. You get one microphone from NFL Films. 394 00:19:18,028 --> 00:19:20,628 Speaker 1: Who are you miking up Kittle or Graham this week? Okay? 395 00:19:20,668 --> 00:19:25,908 Speaker 1: I appreciate not even you're a great Instagram follow Everything 396 00:19:25,948 --> 00:19:28,308 Speaker 1: you do in your life is entertainment. But that's three 397 00:19:28,428 --> 00:19:30,148 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty four days out of the year. I'm 398 00:19:30,188 --> 00:19:33,068 Speaker 1: sorry what this man gifted us for this last week 399 00:19:33,188 --> 00:19:36,628 Speaker 1: after the display he put on at the coin toss 400 00:19:37,108 --> 00:19:40,068 Speaker 1: against the Giants last week, I think we need to 401 00:19:40,148 --> 00:19:42,108 Speaker 1: just tattoo like a little pocket right in there with 402 00:19:42,188 --> 00:19:44,148 Speaker 1: the microphone constantly for Brandon Graham for the rest of 403 00:19:44,148 --> 00:19:45,868 Speaker 1: our lives. Because the things this guy comes up with, 404 00:19:45,948 --> 00:19:48,668 Speaker 1: and then the maniacal cackle which might have to become 405 00:19:48,708 --> 00:19:52,068 Speaker 1: his TikTok name. Honestly, um, the maniacal cackle out of 406 00:19:52,148 --> 00:19:55,828 Speaker 1: this man. I have to hear what he has to say. Specifically, 407 00:19:56,068 --> 00:19:59,268 Speaker 1: is he's standing over Brock Party staring down at him 408 00:19:59,308 --> 00:20:00,988 Speaker 1: on Sunday afternoon, what is he going to say? I 409 00:20:01,068 --> 00:20:02,228 Speaker 1: have to hear it. I have to hear It's a 410 00:20:02,268 --> 00:20:05,748 Speaker 1: great call all right. Time now to be joined by 411 00:20:05,948 --> 00:20:09,428 Speaker 1: a former NFL offensive lineman who spent sixteen seasons in 412 00:20:09,548 --> 00:20:12,028 Speaker 1: the league. He was a Super Bowl champion last year 413 00:20:12,188 --> 00:20:14,188 Speaker 1: and twenty twenty one Walter Peyton Man of the Year, 414 00:20:14,228 --> 00:20:15,948 Speaker 1: and now he's an analyst on Prime Video. There's an 415 00:20:15,948 --> 00:20:17,828 Speaker 1: a football that's a lot, it's a mouthful. The point 416 00:20:17,948 --> 00:20:20,308 Speaker 1: is he's a friend of our show Andrew Witworth, what up? 417 00:20:23,708 --> 00:20:26,548 Speaker 1: Maybe seventh on the line is that Joe borrows your guy? Wait, 418 00:20:26,628 --> 00:20:29,468 Speaker 1: let's leave with that. Joe Borrow continues to impress every week, 419 00:20:29,628 --> 00:20:32,308 Speaker 1: no matter the situation. He shows up in the big moments. 420 00:20:32,548 --> 00:20:35,308 Speaker 1: What is it about his personality on and off the 421 00:20:35,428 --> 00:20:38,948 Speaker 1: field that makes him so easy for players his teammates 422 00:20:39,268 --> 00:20:41,508 Speaker 1: to click in with and produce the way that they do. 423 00:20:41,868 --> 00:20:43,868 Speaker 1: I think it's just this confidence in or he has 424 00:20:43,908 --> 00:20:47,148 Speaker 1: about himself. He truly believes everything he competes in he 425 00:20:47,228 --> 00:20:49,548 Speaker 1: has a chance to win in and it just seems 426 00:20:49,588 --> 00:20:51,348 Speaker 1: to rub off on the guys around him. I mean 427 00:20:51,428 --> 00:20:53,748 Speaker 1: even myself last week, I'm like, man, with this a 428 00:20:53,948 --> 00:20:56,708 Speaker 1: third lineman down. I don't know how they put it 429 00:20:56,788 --> 00:20:59,308 Speaker 1: together in Buffalo and find a way to be successful. 430 00:20:59,668 --> 00:21:01,348 Speaker 1: And what do they do? They go out and dominate. 431 00:21:01,388 --> 00:21:04,828 Speaker 1: They didn't just play well, they played great. Think every 432 00:21:04,908 --> 00:21:06,828 Speaker 1: time you really look for Joe Burrow to take a 433 00:21:06,868 --> 00:21:08,788 Speaker 1: step back, he seems to take a step forward. And 434 00:21:08,828 --> 00:21:12,748 Speaker 1: I think that's the most impressive part about him. Yeah. Well, 435 00:21:12,828 --> 00:21:15,308 Speaker 1: all week we've been talking about he's three and old. 436 00:21:15,388 --> 00:21:19,068 Speaker 1: Its burrowhead against Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes how 437 00:21:19,188 --> 00:21:21,068 Speaker 1: much do you think that three and old record has 438 00:21:21,108 --> 00:21:23,788 Speaker 1: to play in this matchup comes Sunday. I don't think 439 00:21:23,828 --> 00:21:25,508 Speaker 1: it has a lot. I actually think you look at 440 00:21:25,548 --> 00:21:28,628 Speaker 1: this regular season this year, I thought that the Bengals 441 00:21:28,628 --> 00:21:30,708 Speaker 1: had a great plan on both sides of the football 442 00:21:30,788 --> 00:21:33,268 Speaker 1: for this game, and I really think going into this one, 443 00:21:33,348 --> 00:21:36,028 Speaker 1: you'd almost say, I think the game plans might be 444 00:21:36,068 --> 00:21:39,548 Speaker 1: out the window. All right, Now, which quarterback, which skill 445 00:21:39,628 --> 00:21:41,748 Speaker 1: team can make the biggest plays is going to be 446 00:21:41,788 --> 00:21:44,348 Speaker 1: the winner? Because we've played in each other now, it's 447 00:21:44,348 --> 00:21:46,708 Speaker 1: almost divisional, right, It's almost like, all right, we know 448 00:21:46,828 --> 00:21:49,188 Speaker 1: what each other is gonna try to do. Who's gonna 449 00:21:49,228 --> 00:21:51,548 Speaker 1: go into this game and make special plays? It's gonna 450 00:21:51,548 --> 00:21:54,628 Speaker 1: be the team that wins it. There was a time 451 00:21:54,748 --> 00:21:56,308 Speaker 1: just a few weeks ago where I was right here 452 00:21:56,348 --> 00:21:58,228 Speaker 1: on this show and I was on the podcast that 453 00:21:58,348 --> 00:22:00,228 Speaker 1: I do this season with Peter Schreger, and I was 454 00:22:00,268 --> 00:22:02,068 Speaker 1: begging you to return to the Bengals so that that 455 00:22:02,148 --> 00:22:04,588 Speaker 1: offensive line can get right for the playoffs. Well, we're 456 00:22:04,588 --> 00:22:06,868 Speaker 1: two playoff games in and this offensive line has gotten 457 00:22:06,948 --> 00:22:09,188 Speaker 1: better and better over the past two weeks. You are 458 00:22:09,268 --> 00:22:11,428 Speaker 1: the old line expert in so many ways, you're also 459 00:22:11,468 --> 00:22:13,748 Speaker 1: a team culture guy. How much did it play into 460 00:22:13,788 --> 00:22:15,628 Speaker 1: this team's performance that people were counting them out the 461 00:22:15,708 --> 00:22:17,428 Speaker 1: last few weeks and that these young guys have stepped 462 00:22:17,468 --> 00:22:19,348 Speaker 1: up and done the job. I think there's always some 463 00:22:19,468 --> 00:22:21,628 Speaker 1: of that now, especially in this era of football. I 464 00:22:21,708 --> 00:22:23,788 Speaker 1: think these young guys more than any We can say, hey, 465 00:22:23,828 --> 00:22:27,148 Speaker 1: ignore social media, ignore what people are saying, but they've 466 00:22:27,268 --> 00:22:29,548 Speaker 1: grown up on it. That's what they love. They've been 467 00:22:29,628 --> 00:22:31,948 Speaker 1: on social media. They love the challenges. You can see, 468 00:22:31,988 --> 00:22:34,068 Speaker 1: even team to team, they love what each other saying 469 00:22:34,068 --> 00:22:36,708 Speaker 1: in the locker room. I think bullets and board materials 470 00:22:36,748 --> 00:22:39,828 Speaker 1: out the window. These guys want challenges, they want to 471 00:22:39,868 --> 00:22:42,428 Speaker 1: be heard on social media, and so I think they 472 00:22:42,548 --> 00:22:44,428 Speaker 1: took it as a challenge. And I think also too, 473 00:22:44,548 --> 00:22:46,308 Speaker 1: we got to talk about Frank Pollock. I mean the 474 00:22:46,468 --> 00:22:49,748 Speaker 1: job he's done to lose three starters and then to 475 00:22:49,868 --> 00:22:52,268 Speaker 1: look even better week to week as these guys get 476 00:22:52,348 --> 00:22:55,428 Speaker 1: in there. What an amazing job their offensive line coach 477 00:22:55,508 --> 00:22:58,148 Speaker 1: Frank Pollock's done. He deserves a tip of the hat 478 00:22:58,228 --> 00:23:00,788 Speaker 1: as well, because they looked really good last week in Buffalo, 479 00:23:00,908 --> 00:23:02,868 Speaker 1: maybe as good as they've looked all season. They did, 480 00:23:02,948 --> 00:23:04,668 Speaker 1: and I love that you're shouting him out. The looked 481 00:23:04,668 --> 00:23:07,148 Speaker 1: amazing in Buffalo two went and Jason here was talking 482 00:23:07,188 --> 00:23:09,548 Speaker 1: earlier in the show about there's this idea that maybe 483 00:23:09,588 --> 00:23:12,628 Speaker 1: you drop everybody against Mahomes and you make him difficult 484 00:23:12,668 --> 00:23:15,108 Speaker 1: for him, or since because he may come in on 485 00:23:15,188 --> 00:23:17,828 Speaker 1: one hundred percent, you attack him early on. How do 486 00:23:17,868 --> 00:23:20,468 Speaker 1: you expect the Bengals d to find out what Mahomes 487 00:23:20,508 --> 00:23:22,748 Speaker 1: has got and attack the offensive line the offensive scheme 488 00:23:22,788 --> 00:23:24,788 Speaker 1: through this game? You know, I think they're gonna mix 489 00:23:24,828 --> 00:23:27,148 Speaker 1: and match some. I think they may start early by 490 00:23:27,188 --> 00:23:29,148 Speaker 1: bringing a couple of pressures. But the good part for 491 00:23:29,268 --> 00:23:31,428 Speaker 1: them is they don't really don't have to with Trey 492 00:23:31,468 --> 00:23:33,188 Speaker 1: Hendrickson and some of the guys they have. That's what 493 00:23:33,348 --> 00:23:36,228 Speaker 1: makes their defense unique is that they're able to drop 494 00:23:36,268 --> 00:23:37,748 Speaker 1: a lot of people and a lot of teams. When 495 00:23:37,788 --> 00:23:39,908 Speaker 1: they rush three, it's gonna be over with. But Trey 496 00:23:39,948 --> 00:23:43,428 Speaker 1: Hendrickson's the style of player he is really tenacity, he 497 00:23:43,548 --> 00:23:45,508 Speaker 1: plays with, the all out effort he plays with. He 498 00:23:45,548 --> 00:23:47,628 Speaker 1: just is one of those rushers that likes to make 499 00:23:47,668 --> 00:23:49,748 Speaker 1: it dirty and messy and get in there and wrestle 500 00:23:49,788 --> 00:23:52,308 Speaker 1: and fight to the quarterback. They can create a lot 501 00:23:52,388 --> 00:23:54,388 Speaker 1: of pressure with a lot of their three man rushes 502 00:23:54,388 --> 00:23:56,708 Speaker 1: and also some of the will simulated rushes where they're 503 00:23:56,708 --> 00:23:59,308 Speaker 1: gonna bring somebody off the slot and just rush three 504 00:23:59,348 --> 00:24:01,628 Speaker 1: and drop somebody to the other side. So they're able 505 00:24:01,668 --> 00:24:03,748 Speaker 1: to do some things that other teams really couldn't get 506 00:24:03,788 --> 00:24:06,188 Speaker 1: away with. And that's what helps them play the Mahomes 507 00:24:06,268 --> 00:24:08,668 Speaker 1: and josh Allens of the world because of the way 508 00:24:08,828 --> 00:24:11,428 Speaker 1: really the personnel they have and what lou does that's 509 00:24:11,428 --> 00:24:14,428 Speaker 1: a great job of mixing when those pressures come. This 510 00:24:14,508 --> 00:24:16,708 Speaker 1: time of year is really fun because as the team's 511 00:24:16,748 --> 00:24:18,828 Speaker 1: whittled down, you really get to focus on the success 512 00:24:18,988 --> 00:24:20,828 Speaker 1: and the why that a lot of these coaches and 513 00:24:20,908 --> 00:24:23,508 Speaker 1: players are there. So after the Chiefs win on Saturday, 514 00:24:23,588 --> 00:24:25,988 Speaker 1: you tweeted this about Andy Reid. You say, can we 515 00:24:26,068 --> 00:24:28,628 Speaker 1: talk about Andy Reid's head coaching record. I don't feel 516 00:24:28,668 --> 00:24:31,628 Speaker 1: like enough has said about what a g this guy is. 517 00:24:31,988 --> 00:24:34,868 Speaker 1: After respect that his run as a head coach is insane. 518 00:24:34,988 --> 00:24:37,188 Speaker 1: Don't even get after me about a Super Bowl wins. 519 00:24:37,468 --> 00:24:39,588 Speaker 1: You need so many things to go your way in 520 00:24:39,668 --> 00:24:42,268 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. Let's talk about winning though. He just wins. 521 00:24:42,468 --> 00:24:44,708 Speaker 1: This year, the Chiefs traded away Tyreek Hill Now this 522 00:24:44,868 --> 00:24:46,508 Speaker 1: is just me asking you this question. Yet they still 523 00:24:46,508 --> 00:24:48,068 Speaker 1: had a dominant offense and they got the one seed. 524 00:24:48,108 --> 00:24:50,108 Speaker 1: Andy Reid was not a finalist for Coach of the Year. 525 00:24:50,468 --> 00:24:53,268 Speaker 1: Is he unappreciated across the league? Does he deserve more 526 00:24:53,348 --> 00:24:56,148 Speaker 1: credit for what he has done? And why does he? 527 00:24:56,308 --> 00:24:58,348 Speaker 1: Why is he so special? Yeah? I think that's to 528 00:24:58,468 --> 00:25:00,988 Speaker 1: me the thing you always hear people talk about Mahomes, 529 00:25:01,068 --> 00:25:03,188 Speaker 1: and I think Mahomes is amazing, But you know, when 530 00:25:03,228 --> 00:25:07,028 Speaker 1: you watch their games, I don't see just Mahomes making plays. 531 00:25:07,068 --> 00:25:09,228 Speaker 1: I see some of the creativities, some of the ability 532 00:25:09,268 --> 00:25:11,428 Speaker 1: they have to find ways to get Kelsey the ball, 533 00:25:12,148 --> 00:25:14,028 Speaker 1: to get the ball out of Patrick's hands. I mean, 534 00:25:14,308 --> 00:25:16,548 Speaker 1: here we are already we're talking about what is Cincinnati 535 00:25:16,548 --> 00:25:18,428 Speaker 1: you gonna do to create these pressures on the Homes. 536 00:25:18,508 --> 00:25:20,908 Speaker 1: But most of these games, and he's gonna start off 537 00:25:20,948 --> 00:25:22,828 Speaker 1: with lots of things where it's just hard to get 538 00:25:22,868 --> 00:25:25,148 Speaker 1: to him anyways because of what they're doing in the 539 00:25:25,228 --> 00:25:27,148 Speaker 1: run game. But they're able to do with little screens 540 00:25:27,148 --> 00:25:29,268 Speaker 1: and nick naxt to the tight ends to the receivers, 541 00:25:29,588 --> 00:25:31,868 Speaker 1: putting them in motions and running on his jet sweeps. 542 00:25:31,908 --> 00:25:33,948 Speaker 1: I mean, he's gonna mix and match it so much 543 00:25:33,988 --> 00:25:36,068 Speaker 1: on a defense it makes it so challenging. And he's 544 00:25:36,108 --> 00:25:39,388 Speaker 1: done it forever and done nothing but win. You look 545 00:25:39,428 --> 00:25:42,428 Speaker 1: in Philadelphia, you look in Kansas City. He just racks 546 00:25:42,508 --> 00:25:44,908 Speaker 1: up wins. And I think it's just funny because we 547 00:25:44,988 --> 00:25:46,988 Speaker 1: get caught in this era of the super Bowl, the 548 00:25:47,148 --> 00:25:49,788 Speaker 1: only thing that matters, but these games he's losing in. 549 00:25:49,868 --> 00:25:51,988 Speaker 1: It's not like he was losing, you know, in Week 550 00:25:52,068 --> 00:25:54,868 Speaker 1: eighteen and knocked out the playoffs or seventeen over his career. 551 00:25:55,148 --> 00:25:58,348 Speaker 1: He was losing in conference championships, which means every year 552 00:25:58,868 --> 00:26:02,108 Speaker 1: he's in the conversation with the final four teams that exist, Like, 553 00:26:02,468 --> 00:26:04,548 Speaker 1: you're that good of a coach. You got to be 554 00:26:04,628 --> 00:26:07,388 Speaker 1: given some more credit for your ability to find ways 555 00:26:07,468 --> 00:26:10,388 Speaker 1: to win and create your team into a winner, regardless 556 00:26:10,428 --> 00:26:12,588 Speaker 1: who your quarterback is and regardless of the skill set 557 00:26:12,668 --> 00:26:14,788 Speaker 1: around him. Yeah, it was always hard to sleep the 558 00:26:14,908 --> 00:26:17,588 Speaker 1: night before going against an Andy Reid led offense. You 559 00:26:17,628 --> 00:26:19,668 Speaker 1: didn't know what he was going to have drawn up. 560 00:26:19,748 --> 00:26:23,468 Speaker 1: But enough of the finesse and all these receivers and quarterbacks. 561 00:26:23,708 --> 00:26:27,028 Speaker 1: Let's talk about the offensive line. With this Eagles game. 562 00:26:27,108 --> 00:26:28,908 Speaker 1: In this forty nine Ers game, two of the best 563 00:26:28,988 --> 00:26:32,788 Speaker 1: offensive lines and defensive lines in the league. Who are 564 00:26:32,828 --> 00:26:35,588 Speaker 1: you given the upper hand to and the trenches in 565 00:26:35,668 --> 00:26:37,748 Speaker 1: that game Sunday afternoon. I think it's gonna be a 566 00:26:37,828 --> 00:26:39,788 Speaker 1: tremendous matchup. But I think this one, to me, is 567 00:26:39,788 --> 00:26:42,188 Speaker 1: gonna be an all out heavyweight bout in the sense 568 00:26:42,268 --> 00:26:45,828 Speaker 1: of the fight between both sides. Up front, there's big fellas, 569 00:26:45,948 --> 00:26:49,628 Speaker 1: athletic guys everywhere. This one's gonna be a brawl. I 570 00:26:49,788 --> 00:26:51,948 Speaker 1: really think that the San Francisco forty nine ers are 571 00:26:51,948 --> 00:26:54,428 Speaker 1: gonna have something in there for this Philly front. They 572 00:26:54,468 --> 00:26:56,268 Speaker 1: struggled a little bit in the run game earlier in 573 00:26:56,308 --> 00:26:58,668 Speaker 1: the year, and I think San Francisco is gonna try 574 00:26:58,668 --> 00:27:00,748 Speaker 1: and exploit that in this game and ball control and 575 00:27:00,828 --> 00:27:03,908 Speaker 1: try and keep Jalen Hurts off the field. We love 576 00:27:04,028 --> 00:27:06,628 Speaker 1: listening to you. I learned something every time you're on 577 00:27:06,708 --> 00:27:08,988 Speaker 1: the show because of your connections, not only to the 578 00:27:09,268 --> 00:27:11,148 Speaker 1: teams that we have left, but just across the league. 579 00:27:11,148 --> 00:27:13,148 Speaker 1: Your knowledge is awesome. Man. We appreciate you so much. 580 00:27:13,468 --> 00:27:17,308 Speaker 1: Have a great week. Join the games. I can't wait. 581 00:27:17,508 --> 00:27:21,988 Speaker 1: Let's go. Come on.

We're just 597 00:28:14,428 --> 00:28:17,148 Speaker 1: gonna be watching the Eagles sidelines. I think Sirianni is 598 00:28:17,148 --> 00:28:19,388 Speaker 1: gonna be mean, mugging. I think Kyle Shanahan's gonna have 599 00:28:19,428 --> 00:28:22,068 Speaker 1: some stuff, and I think Sirianni might be the one 600 00:28:22,308 --> 00:28:28,228 Speaker 1: at the end we might be talking about way off. Hey, 601 00:28:28,588 --> 00:28:31,188 Speaker 1: I can vote very well for Kyle Shanahan. Yes, I 602 00:28:31,348 --> 00:28:34,188 Speaker 1: love that you said the Eagles, Sirianni me muggy. He's 603 00:28:34,188 --> 00:28:36,948 Speaker 1: gonna be mean mugging because the Eagles are going to 604 00:28:37,108 --> 00:28:39,228 Speaker 1: win the game and then they're gonna match up in 605 00:28:39,348 --> 00:28:44,908 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl with the Cincinnati Bengals. Eagles, Bengals. Sorry 606 00:28:44,948 --> 00:28:47,108 Speaker 1: to the Kelsey brothers. I love the brother duo, but 607 00:28:47,468 --> 00:28:52,908 Speaker 1: they won't be playing walk off. Oh Jesus everything. There 608 00:28:53,068 --> 00:28:55,708 Speaker 1: is nothing that somebody wants more in a given work 609 00:28:55,788 --> 00:28:58,268 Speaker 1: week than Peter wanting to make his shot before Jason 610 00:28:58,348 --> 00:29:00,308 Speaker 1: makes this because it happens at every time we get 611 00:29:00,348 --> 00:29:02,148 Speaker 1: asked to make Super Bowl picks. At the beginning of 612 00:29:02,188 --> 00:29:04,788 Speaker 1: the season, thank you. I was half right. So I 613 00:29:04,948 --> 00:29:07,868 Speaker 1: was thinking about this game and I gotta go forty 614 00:29:07,948 --> 00:29:10,028 Speaker 1: nine Ers because I had him as my pick. I 615 00:29:10,228 --> 00:29:13,868 Speaker 1: start the season, Bills fell off last week. I know, 616 00:29:14,068 --> 00:29:16,428 Speaker 1: I pick a brain Ers, and I'm gonna go a 617 00:29:16,588 --> 00:29:19,428 Speaker 1: road team, a favorite. I think the Bengals are gonna 618 00:29:19,428 --> 00:29:21,228 Speaker 1: go to Kansas City and do it again. So forty 619 00:29:21,348 --> 00:29:24,388 Speaker 1: nine Ers Bengals heading to Glendale, Arizona, and I'm gonna 620 00:29:24,428 --> 00:29:26,348 Speaker 1: go back because in case I miss it so badly, 621 00:29:26,348 --> 00:29:28,588 Speaker 1: I can blame it on going from the distance. Oh 622 00:29:28,668 --> 00:29:32,908 Speaker 1: my god, ye Jamie, go on, here's your legs. Oh yeah, 623 00:29:32,948 --> 00:29:35,188 Speaker 1: you're right. It's one more time, third times a charm 624 00:29:35,228 --> 00:29:39,908 Speaker 1: for all those Bengals fans out there. Oh it's tough 625 00:29:39,908 --> 00:29:43,228 Speaker 1: shooting from that distance. Listen. I did a beautiful love 626 00:29:43,308 --> 00:29:45,108 Speaker 1: letter to Arrowhead Stadium earlier in the show and the 627 00:29:45,148 --> 00:29:47,508 Speaker 1: incredible atmosphere that it's going to. And I think the 628 00:29:47,548 --> 00:29:49,428 Speaker 1: Bengals are gonna win the game. I do. I still 629 00:29:49,468 --> 00:29:51,388 Speaker 1: I am not sure how Patrick Mahomes gonna have a 630 00:29:51,428 --> 00:29:53,588 Speaker 1: high ankle spran a few days later. Oh, it's just fine. 631 00:29:53,748 --> 00:29:55,588 Speaker 1: I think one of the most important players for winning 632 00:29:55,628 --> 00:29:57,828 Speaker 1: the Bengals this game will be arden Key, who is 633 00:29:57,868 --> 00:29:59,908 Speaker 1: the player and the Jaguars who fell on top of Mahomes. 634 00:29:59,908 --> 00:30:01,548 Speaker 1: I think they need Mahomes at one hundred percent in 635 00:30:01,588 --> 00:30:03,548 Speaker 1: this game. I don't think they'll have him in the NFC. 636 00:30:03,788 --> 00:30:06,748 Speaker 1: I've been worried Philadelphia Eagles shirt all day. But I 637 00:30:06,828 --> 00:30:08,828 Speaker 1: have just a little bit of a wardrobe change. Guys, 638 00:30:08,988 --> 00:30:11,908 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to change. I'll just talk right through it. Yep. 639 00:30:12,028 --> 00:30:16,108 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go some differences. Really breaking here. It's an outfit, 640 00:30:17,188 --> 00:30:23,468 Speaker 1: he's not playing something here comes in we're going back slide. 641 00:30:23,788 --> 00:30:25,228 Speaker 1: I think they have a better roster. I think this 642 00:30:25,268 --> 00:30:27,028 Speaker 1: is the Howie Roseman Super Bowl run. He's got a 643 00:30:27,028 --> 00:30:28,788 Speaker 1: big old cigar in the show. How am I gonna 644 00:30:28,788 --> 00:30:30,708 Speaker 1: go over there to my spot? I think it's Bengals. 645 00:30:30,748 --> 00:30:34,828 Speaker 1: I think it's Eagles, and this is very good Bengals Eagles. 646 00:30:36,068 --> 00:30:38,828 Speaker 1: Kyle right, because we're all made of shots everybody else 647 00:30:39,028 --> 00:30:50,428 Speaker 1: not airball, so we can do it. Shunk it at 648 00:30:50,588 --> 00:30:56,588 Speaker 1: Shotter g
