1
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to NFL Daily, where Super Bowl sixty is set.

2
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: I'm Greg Rosenthal for the last time on a recap

3
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 1: show in the Chris Westling podcast studio this season, with Patrick,

4
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 1: Claybond and our friend Nick Shook joining us from Cleveland.

5
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: Super Bowl sixty. We knew it was gonna be some

6
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: sort of rematch unless it was Rams Broncos, and it's

7
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: very much not Rams Broncos Patriots Seahawks super Bowl sixty

8
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: a rematch of Super Bowl forty nine.

9
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 2: We watched these two games.

10
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 1: Together, Patrick, next to each other all day, and they

11
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: felt like very different football games. And we have a

12
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: fun little super Bowl to talk about for two weeks.

13
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, a little predictable in terms of at least the

14
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 3: the way that the games played out, perhaps not necessarily

15
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 3: the results, but what performance by both teams in Seattle tonight,

16
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 3: and uh, you know, just touches away from being like

17
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,839
Speaker 3: the movie style ending Shook, but still still a fun

18
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 3: participation of football.

19
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, we were kind of robbed of the twenty thirteen

20
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 4: NFC Championship game results in a post game Richard Sherman

21
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 4: interview with Aaron Andrews. But you know what, this was

22
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 4: pretty close and it was still for a good stretch

23
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 4: of the second half, the exact example of why playoff

24
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 4: football is among the most entertaining products in entertainment.

25
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 2: It was.

26
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: It was a classic, and let's not waste any more time.

27
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 2: Let's go out to Seattle. Shut gun staff of Stafford.

28
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 2: Nine seconds left.

29
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 5: Stafford looks, fires, ball is caught, Poka Nakula slides out

30
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 5: of bound.

31
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 2: No clock, Keep.

32
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 6: Moving the cool Where are going?

33
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 2: Get the Super Bowl?

34
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 7: Take your helmets off? Players there? Great is the class

35
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 7: sext Shore. What completion of Poka Coula? He can't get

36
00:01:58,280 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 7: out of bounds.

37
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 5: It's confirming the rubber was down inbounds.

38
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 2: The game is now over.

39
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 7: Si're going back to the Super Bowl.

40
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 2: Can you believe it? I could believe it.

41
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: The Seahawks, one of the two best teams in the

42
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: NFL all season long, worked so hard in that fourth

43
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: quarter in overtime against the Rams to get home field advantage,

44
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: and that kind of felt like the difference in a

45
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: thirty one to twenty seven victory over the Rams in

46
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: the NFC Championship. There are so many heroes to talk

47
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: about in this game and clutch performances, but I think

48
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: we have to start with Steve rabel on Kiro not

49
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: hesitating and with a little assist from the line judge

50
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: there rolling that clock and not messing up all the

51
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: calls on the radio for the rest of time they

52
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: had to check it. But yes, Puka Akua was inbounds,

53
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: and that means there was no hail Mary attempt, and

54
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: that means that Sam Darnald did it. I have to

55
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: start here shook because the Seattle Seahawks won a game

56
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: in which their defense gave up twenty seven points, in

57
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: which their running game had a sixteen point seven percent

58
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: success rate, and a game where they needed all of

59
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: Sam Donald's three hundred and forty plus yards passing and

60
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: three touchdowns to make the Super Bowl, and they needed

61
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: him to not make any big mistakes in the big

62
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: moment and deliver second down conversion after second down conversion

63
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: to help kill that clock. And you know what, he

64
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: did it all. And Sam Donald is going to the

65
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: Super Bowl.

66
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 4: And they needed Kenneth Walker, and they needed Cooper Cup

67
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 4: you know, by the way, they needed Jackson Smith and Jigma,

68
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 4: a collective team effort that never gets there if Sam

69
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 4: Donald doesn't do the job. I think it was some

70
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 4: point in the fourth quarter where I just had a

71
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 4: realization he made a play I think it was a

72
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 4: third down conversion where I just thought, head, oh my god,

73
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 4: this is the best game I've seen from Sam Donald

74
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 4: since that Rose Bowl against Penn State wry Back, Like,

75
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 4: this is peak Sam Donald. He's finally arrived to this

76
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 4: point that so many people thought he would get to

77
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 4: when he was coming out of USC into the draft,

78
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 4: and it's a beautiful sight to see that he did

79
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 4: it on the second biggest stage possible outside of the

80
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 4: Super Bowl, to get his team to the super Bowl,

81
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 4: to answer all the doubters who thought maybe last year

82
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 4: was an aberration, maybe he can't deliver in the big moments.

83
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 6: He delivered, and he delivered emphatically today.

84
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, and doing so in so many key situations where

85
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 3: the moment in the pressure, and I don't mean metaphorical pressure,

86
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 3: because all that I think is the actual impending pressure

87
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 3: from football players. As well as playing through the oblique injury.

88
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 3: We saw the warming pad over on the sideline where

89
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 3: he says he's fine, Clearly he's working through and playing

90
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 3: through that. But the touchdown pass to JSN where Braden

91
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 3: Fisk is rummaging around right at his feet, which could

92
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 3: have easily impacted that throw. It didn't. It goes for

93
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 3: the touchdown and then third and seven from their own

94
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 3: twenty eight with three minutes and twenty seconds to go.

95
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 3: He's able to navigate the pocket get that ball to

96
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 3: Cooper Cup a first down by about six inches. There

97
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 3: was not just that throw, there was another throw on

98
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 3: that same drive. We're in a situation you could say, oh, well,

99
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 3: you gotta play it safe. No. Clint Kubiak, with his

100
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 3: prospective employer on the broadcast, our calling every single play

101
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 3: that he calls was absolutely nails on Sunday night.

102
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, that Cooper Cup third down conversion was absolutely massive.

103
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 2: I think it was the right call.

104
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: There were a lot of close calls in this game,

105
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: and for the most part they were right. Even the

106
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: taunting call on Rieke Woollod, by the letter of the

107
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: law is the right call, even if we believe in

108
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: ethical football and that there should be no taunting calls,

109
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: Like I do get why they called that, but I

110
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: think starting there at the end is key. And what

111
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: I hate in these situations shook is when a team

112
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,559
Speaker 1: doesn't read the situation of how that particular game is going.

113
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: There's actually a lot of types of games where I

114
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: don't think it would have been crazy for them to

115
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: be more conservative on that final drive. But in this game,

116
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: they had to do everything that they could to prevent

117
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: the Rams from getting the ball back. They had to

118
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,359
Speaker 1: know that Sam Darnold was winning, that their pass protection

119
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: was winning, that their wide receivers were winning, and they

120
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: had to call it aggressively. And so yeah, they called

121
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,239
Speaker 1: some first down runs for Walker to stop the clock,

122
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: but they also called a second down on passes on

123
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: two different plays. On that drive, you're near your own

124
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: end zone. They get the ball to Kenneth Walker, he

125
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 1: picks up fifteen yards, he breaks a tackle. I don't

126
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: know how PFF charted it, but in the game he

127
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: broke five different tackles. Two of them could have been

128
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: on that particular play, and a couple of them were receiving,

129
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 1: a couple of them running. So his individual skill set

130
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: gets it done. They run it on first down the

131
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: next time, and they actually call a deep shot on

132
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: second down to Rashid Shahi and Donald kind of has

133
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: the first throwout game where you're like, I'm not gonna

134
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: say he was nervous, but it just comes out funny

135
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: and it's not on time, and you're just like, uh oh,

136
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: and that's the play before the cup play. And then

137
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: again they don't wait until third down. The next set

138
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: of downs, they have them throw the ball on second

139
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: down and they get a big penalty. And if any

140
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: of those had gone wrong, everyone would have been killing

141
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: them for not killing the clock.

142
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 2: But they read the game correctly.

143
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: It's one of the reasons why I think Mike McDonald

144
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: is such an excellent coach. He has a feel for

145
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: his team, and Donald proved him right again and again tonight.

146
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

147
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 4: Why hey Manklean Kubiak are such a good pairing as

148
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,119
Speaker 4: head coach and offensive coordinator, Because in order to really

149
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 4: secure your trip to the Super Bowl in a game

150
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 4: that has been this closed, in a game between two

151
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 4: teams that are so close in quality and in talent

152
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 4: and in familiarity, you have to play a little bit

153
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 4: aggressively year live by it and you're gonna die by it,

154
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 4: and you're gonna hope it's gonna work out.

155
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 6: And it did for them. You have to keep them honess.

156
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 4: You talked about the success rate, although it was on

157
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 4: the ground for the Seahawks. Well, the Rams are gonna

158
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 4: load the box and they're just gonna stuff that run,

159
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 4: and you're gonna be putting back them with you two

160
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 4: minutes or so and give the Rams another chance after

161
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 4: they just move down within scoring range and turned it

162
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 4: over on downs. So how do you really lock down

163
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 4: your trip to the Super Bowl. You get a little aggressive,

164
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,559
Speaker 4: you call a little play action, You let Sam Donald

165
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 4: throw the ball. You let Sam throw it twitter receiver.

166
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 4: He gets held and it draws a holding flag and

167
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 4: that's a first down. But most importantly I think in

168
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 4: this game that will probably go overlooked maybe not is

169
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 4: Kenneth Walker's one hundred eleven scrimmage yards because you talked

170
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 4: about that where he broke a couple of tackles on

171
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 4: that conversion.

172
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 6: He ran around like four guys.

173
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 4: I felt like Byron Young was just spending half of

174
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 4: the evening chasing Kenneth Walker in the flats and repeatedly

175
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 4: never catching up. Because Kenneth Walker has the ability to

176
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 4: catch and run as a receiver, and he played a

177
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 4: huge part throughout this game and especially in putting that

178
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 4: game away, such a great blend of run and pass

179
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 4: with the game and the trip to the super Bowl

180
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 4: on the line, and this is what makes the Seahawks

181
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 4: the Seahawks. We've talked about their defense all season, but

182
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 4: it's also about their willingness to get aggressive in key

183
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 4: spots because of that guy wearing number nine right there,

184
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 4: Kenneth Walker, and of course Sam Darnold.

185
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: Yeah you're watching if you're catching us on YouTube. One

186
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: of the jukes that Walker had earlier in the game.

187
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: And yes, his production was concentrating a few different drives

188
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: that were scoring drives to start the game. During the

189
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: middle of the game, whenever they needed a big play,

190
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: it was Kenneth Walker. I think backing it up, you know,

191
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: it wasn't a great game for the Seahawks defense Patrick,

192
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: but I think when we think about how this game ended,

193
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: how the Seahawks got out of here with a win,

194
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: let's not get negative necessarily on the rams yet, because

195
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: there are some things to talk about where they came

196
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: up short, certainly defensively, but the Seahawks defense holding up

197
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: at the very last second on that last red zone

198
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: drive and stopping Stafford on the third and fourth down

199
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 1: in the red zone feels like it was like, if

200
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: not the key sequence of the game.

201
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 2: It's right there.

202
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 3: And it got a stab directly into my chest and

203
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 3: the nick Shook's chest in the anti three man rush

204
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 3: in that situation where Sean McVay pointing out in the

205
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,239
Speaker 3: post game, you know, Stafford has the ball to Mumfield

206
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 3: on the sideline on third down. A lot of time

207
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 3: there's a four man rush, but then they come back.

208
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 3: Sean McVay is calling this a accidental bust that was

209
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 3: fortuitous for them because after Karen Williams was all by

210
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 3: himself early in the first half with you know, the

211
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 3: pick play from pookin a coua for the touchdown, they

212
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 3: peel off two defenders and this is a play where

213
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 3: DeVante Adams and pookin Akua on the field. Two defenders

214
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 3: have devoted solely to Karen Williams in the flat, but

215
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 3: because they're over there, it comes up the work for

216
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 3: DeVante and Nick Eman. Worry. One of the two people

217
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 3: that's actually close to Matthew Stafford is going up against

218
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 3: Aleric Jackson and the defensive back gets the pressure that

219
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 3: gets Stafford to get rid of the ball in the

220
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 3: back of the end zone, so he doesn't have time

221
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 3: to see Pooka may have had space to get to

222
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 3: the sideline, and that's the stop all because that you know,

223
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 3: if everybody's wrong. It's the old note about coverage. You know,

224
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 3: as long as everybody's wrong together, then it can work

225
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 3: out right.

226
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: And I love that point by you on the pass

227
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 1: rush and Emon worry because it does for Stafford to

228
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: throw it a little early. Let's actually listen to McVeigh

229
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: who had a fascinating and brief postgame press conference talk

230
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: about that play.

231
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 8: You know, that was a situation where we just kind

232
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 8: of came up short. They kind of looked into having

233
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:15,959
Speaker 8: two guys peel on Kiren right there.

234
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 3: I know that that.

235
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 8: Can't be part of their designs, so so fortune is

236
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 8: bucks by them, but it was you know, they're an

237
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 8: excellent team and you don't take away anything. You know,

238
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 8: they they are in the wind and you know, their

239
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 8: NFC champs for a reason.

240
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: It's like he caught himself right in the middle of that,

241
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: not wanting to.

242
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 2: Sound rung, but he was right.

243
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 6: He's right.

244
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: I'm all about coaches being honest and teaching us a

245
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: little bit about ball in the biggest of spots, and

246
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: he did very you know, quietly say that there were

247
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: opportunities on that third down play too, Like if you

248
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: watch that, not only going to momfield a little bit sooner,

249
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 1: which Witherspoon breaks up, but there's also I'm missing a

250
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: receiver coming to open going to the left side, so

251
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: he he had time.

252
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 2: It's a bang bang play.

253
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: And what stands out to me is that in two

254
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: different two play sequences at the end of each half.

255
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: And I think about how the end of half, at

256
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: end of game situations is sometimes the whole game. The

257
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 1: first half, it's Nick nick Eman worri breaking up two

258
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: straight passes and then telling Stafford about it on Stafford's

259
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: way to the bench. That gets the ball back from

260
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: the Rams. And really the biggest offensive mistake I think

261
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: they made the entire game was giving the ball back

262
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: to the Seahawks at the end of the first half,

263
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: giving them a chance to go get a touchdown. And

264
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: that's exactly what happens. So it's Emon worriy, this young

265
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: athletic defensive back winning matchups he shouldn't against DeVante Adams

266
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: on one of the plays, stepping up in the big spot.

267
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 1: And then it's Devin Witherspoon. They're all pro you know,

268
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: after the defensive rookie of the year potentially does it

269
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: at the end of the first half, they're all pro

270
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: does it back to back passes at the end of

271
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: the second half.

272
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 2: So yeah, it wasn't the best.

273
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 1: Game for the Seattle defense, But those are the types

274
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: of plays that badass players make that Seahawks fans I

275
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: think are going to be remembering along with those great

276
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: Darnold touchdowns in Walker Place.

277
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, of course the touchdown passes and everything are going

278
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 4: to be the ones that resonate to most of the

279
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 4: fans because they're prettier, they're easier to kind of digest.

280
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 4: But yeah, the defense really adjusting and it was really

281
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 4: a great example, I think in that gold to go

282
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 4: situation where the Rams are really threatening, they're riding this

283
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 4: wave of them and on this methodical drive.

284
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 6: We've seen them do this throughout the playoffs.

285
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 4: They did it against Chicago, they did it earlier in

286
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 4: this game, that textbook engineer drive that's guaranteed to end

287
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 4: in the end zone. But the Seahawks stands tall because

288
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 4: they know where the Rams like to look. On one

289
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,719
Speaker 4: of those plays in that gold to go situation, you

290
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 4: got Adams isolated out left and you got Brady pointing

291
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 4: out that Adams is isolated.

292
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 6: Out left, and you know that they want to go

293
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 6: to him.

294
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 4: They'd already gotten burned him for a touchdown earlier in

295
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,439
Speaker 4: the half on a one on one ball to Adams,

296
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 4: who obviously wins with this excellent route running. And I'm

297
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 4: watching the safety just kind of drift over to the

298
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 4: left before the play, and I'm thinking they're backing him.

299
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 4: That's going to get taken away. Stafford takes a snap,

300
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 4: immediately looks to Adams, Adams is not there, he knows

301
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 4: he's not there. Then he starts to look through the

302
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 4: rest of his progression, then he panics and tries to

303
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 4: fire it over to Mumpfield. That's an example of two

304
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 4: teams who know each other really well and adjusting accordingly.

305
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 4: And I love that that fourth down call that you

306
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 4: pointed out Patrick going to a three man rush, because

307
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 4: I hate a three man rush as much as you

308
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 4: do and as much as a lot of us do.

309
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 4: But what I appreciate is showing seven dropping four and

310
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 4: muddying up the picture and getting a little bit of

311
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 4: like mcveighs at a fortuitous break when you peel off

312
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 4: on Kiraenn Williams to where Stafford has nowhere to go.

313
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 6: Now you can kind of break down that.

314
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 4: Sequence of plays and say, well, maybe Stafford gets the

315
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 4: ball to Mumpfield earlier, he puts on the outside shoulder

316
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 4: instead the inside where it's able to be broken up.

317
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 4: Maybe you can win there. Maybe you can win if

318
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 4: if he makes a quicker decision on fourth down. But ultimately,

319
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 4: this is what football is in the playoffs, and this

320
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 4: is why this was such a great playoff game. It's

321
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 4: the little things, it's the little margins, and it's how

322
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 4: quick you can make a decision. The Seahawks prevailed in

323
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 4: those scenarios.

324
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: It'll this game will break your heart because the Rams

325
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: put up twenty six first downs four hundred and seventy

326
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: nine yards in a game where they really only had

327
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: eight real drives. They had two to two play drives

328
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: at the end of the game, at the end of

329
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: the half where they basically had no chance to score,

330
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: So only eight reel drives and you almost put up

331
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: five hundred yards on the best team in football, and

332
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: yet you're thinking about the plays that didn't go your way.

333
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: Speaking of which, let's go back actually to to play

334
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: a two play sequence. And we're gonna have a couple

335
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: two play sequences to talk about in this game. But

336
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: this is the one that favored the Seahawks. And yes,

337
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: how do you lose a game where you don't turn

338
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: the ball over on offense? You go for almost five

339
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: hundred yards. You do it by making a big special

340
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: teams error, like the Rams have done so many times

341
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: this season.

342
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 5: Michael Dixon will punt Xavier Smith, the deep man for

343
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 5: the Rams, and this again another rain maker high spiral,

344
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 5: Smith falls Outawks, Smith backing up, try the calf, fair catch,

345
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 5: balls down, the ball hits him, Go Seahawks or cover

346
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 5: and they are inside the twenty yard line.

347
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 9: Go.

348
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 5: Sam Donald now goes under center with Walker behind him.

349
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 2: Light outs to both sides, play fake. Donald looks how

350
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 2: he's gonna throw back to the end.

351
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 7: Of its calm touch down Shay Hawks shake. Bobo might

352
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 7: have been the third guy.

353
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 2: In the progression Bud.

354
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 7: He lines up left side, gets under the goal post,

355
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 7: and Sam just throws a rope.

356
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 2: Uh.

357
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: You know, at the time, I was like, oh man,

358
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: this Rams secondary can't cover, And then I rewatch that play,

359
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, Kobe Durant had no chance. On that play,

360
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: they hung him out to dry. He had he had

361
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: the whole field to cover to cover one guy. And

362
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: that's where I'm giving a little credit to the aggressiveness

363
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: the play call and maybe the lack of a pass

364
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: rush there by the Rams where they blitz and aren't

365
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: anywhere close to Sam Darnalds.

366
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, you want to find the bad spot from the

367
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 3: Rams secondary from that play, it's am Manuel Forbes coming

368
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 3: on the corner blitz. He sees Kenneth Walker step up in.

369
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 3: Granted there is a size mismatch between Emmanuel Forbes and

370
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 3: a lot of people, but he stops and chops his

371
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 3: feet and just kind of hand fights. It's a corner

372
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 3: blitz man, Like, we got to get a little more

373
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 3: involved in this because, like you said, your teammates over

374
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 3: there trying to cover Jake Bobo, you know, on a

375
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 3: double move in the end zone runs a you know,

376
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 3: a corner post and he gets beat where it's over

377
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,199
Speaker 3: and over again like Rams defense, whether it's the Omar

378
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 3: Spates on skates highlight multiple times where he's trying to

379
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 3: get track of guys. And I know Cooper Cup had

380
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 3: this revenge game but had to be sweet for Ernest

381
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 3: Jones to look over and see a Rams defense that

382
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 3: needs somebody that's going to be able to make tackles

383
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 3: and get pressure in certain situations. And it was over

384
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 3: and over again, the Rams secondary kind of coming up short.

385
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: You know, the numbers say, you know, the Rams got

386
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: a thirty five percent pressure rate, which is not great.

387
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: It's not disastrous, but it's not great, especially when you

388
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,959
Speaker 1: blitz thirty five percent of time. Like, I don't think

389
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 1: it was a good game for their pass rush. Watching it,

390
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 1: I felt like it was even worse than those numbers say.

391
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 1: I think ultimately their pass rush and they lost Kobe

392
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: Turner at one point and the game needed to be

393
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: better to help out that secondary. But ultimately, we've talked

394
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: all season long, shook about the lack if they have

395
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: a weakness that Rams defense, the lack of size and

396
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: the lack of depth at cornerback. And they benched who

397
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: was it early in this.

398
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 3: Arius Williams Darious Way you put him on a mission

399
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 3: one on one with no help on the.

400
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 2: Right and then put on the bench.

401
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, while we're while we're talking about you could take

402
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: a look at that play because I do think it

403
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:37,360
Speaker 1: really set up that entire game that like right off

404
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: the bat, you hit a long you know, past two

405
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: rashijahed from Darnold in the very first third down of

406
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: the game, and it kind of set up a trend

407
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 1: shook of the Seahawks hitting third and long after third

408
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 1: and long they end up finishing on this game. Let's

409
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 1: see seven to thirteen on third downs and at least

410
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: through the first ten third downs. I didn't get the

411
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:05,199
Speaker 1: final number, Like their average depth was about ten yards,

412
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 1: and so they hit a million of these third and longs.

413
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 2: I think that play to Shaheed really set the.

414
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 1: Tone, and they kept having you know good some really

415
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 1: good throws like that one on third and log, but

416
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 1: sometimes it was just wide open, not much of a

417
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: pass rush, and almost two soft busted coverage where they

418
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: made it too easy for Seattle to keep it going in.

419
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: A lot of these drives were on the other side

420
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: like that, the rams were terrible on third down, and

421
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 1: that's where you like, that's how games are won, Like

422
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: if you give up four or five third and longs,

423
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 1: like you're gonna lose the game.

424
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly.

425
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 4: If you're trying to find an explanation in the stats

426
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 4: for why this game turned out the way it did.

427
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 4: You can look at the rams four hundred and seventy

428
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 4: nine yards that they gained offensively, but you can also

429
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 4: look at them going one for eight on third down.

430
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 4: That's the Seahawks defense rising to the occasion. You can

431
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 4: look at Seattle going seven for thirteen on third down.

432
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 4: That's the Seahawks finding a way to get it done.

433
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 4: And when you look at Sam Darnolds highlights, you're gonna

434
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 4: see all these throws, which is why we think, oh wow,

435
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 4: he had such a great game, which he did. But

436
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 4: that throat to Shaheed, that's essentially a lay up because

437
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 4: she he just cooks Williams off the line of screen

438
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 4: because you just got to get him the ball. It's

439
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 4: another example of taking advantage of a good matchup one

440
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 4: on one down the sideline with one of the fastest

441
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 4: guys in the NFL and capitalizing and putting yourself in

442
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 4: scoring position very early in the game. But you know

443
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 4: what else, it was too And I'm glad Patrick you

444
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 4: brought up the corner posts because they feasted on the

445
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 4: corner post against Cover two in this game. It was

446
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 4: on that play to Jake Bobo, But it had to

447
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 4: be something they saw in film, maybe just against Cover

448
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 4: two something specifically, because right before halftime they have to

449
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 4: throw at JSN for a big game. He turns around

450
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 4: Cam Curl with a corner post and that sets up

451
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 4: the touchdown just before half that you mentioned how do

452
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 4: you finish halves? How do you finish games? That was

453
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 4: a big swing in the game right there. So it's

454
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 4: a credit to two teams knowing each other really well,

455
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 4: but also Clint Kubiak taking advantage of a weakness that

456
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 4: we've all seen in the Rams save for the divisional

457
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 4: round against the Bear, which has been their secondary and

458
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 4: especially downfield, and it was a big reason why the

459
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 4: Seahawks were able to win this game.

460
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 3: I think that was the thing that they saw on

461
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 3: the film. So it's the Rams defensive secondary and an

462
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 3: opportunity to make a double moved and shield them off

463
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 3: and take advantage of the size advantage that almost everyone has.

464
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 3: That the difference is you know where you know, Dj

465
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,919
Speaker 3: Moore comes up a little bit short on an opportunity

466
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 3: to get the inside track football. The Seahawks did not

467
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 3: come up short.

468
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: They're so mad at the Rams defense watching this, well,

469
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: it was it was a you know and they came

470
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: up short.

471
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 2: They can't.

472
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 3: To be fair, this is not they're not playing our

473
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 3: our sister of the Valley over the Seahawks of a

474
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 3: very talented and gifted receiving corps with veterans and talent

475
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 3: and all kinds of opportunities where they could take advantage

476
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 3: of a team like the Rams. But you have to

477
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 3: be able to get one either you get some pressure

478
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 3: on Sam or you you know, you get the inside

479
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 3: track to a football that they didn't do either.

480
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 1: It wasn't a great day for Chris Shula's you know,

481
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: head coaching candidacy in general, like they if they've done well,

482
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: kind of overachieving for the talent that they had in

483
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: the back seven.

484
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 2: It all kind of collapsed tonight. And yet they're right

485
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 2: in this game.

486
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: So much went wrong And I don't want to get

487
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: out of this game without talking about Stafford playing great,

488
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: that they blew a great Stafford game. He goes for

489
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: three hundred and seventy four yards in three touchdowns in

490
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: this game. You know they don't get that red zone

491
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: trip at the end. The Seahawks go four for five

492
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: in the red zone. I mean, the Rams just had

493
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: to be perfect and they weren't they go two for

494
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,439
Speaker 1: three at the very end. We mentioned them going with

495
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: that short, you know drive before half, but we're picking

496
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: those out because they're the only times that they didn't score.

497
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 1: I mean, the Rams played awesome on offense. The Seahawks

498
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: defense gave up four drives this season of eighty five

499
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: yards or more. One was against the Rams, by the way,

500
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: in Week sixteen. Two more were tonight, and they were

501
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: one more yard away on that last drive from doing

502
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 1: it again like they would have, like basically had more

503
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 1: good drives in this game, big long drives than anyone

504
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 1: did all season. They fall down two scores early, they

505
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: survive it. They blow the end of the first half situation,

506
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 1: they survive it, and they get to the point where

507
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: they do have the ball with the chance to win,

508
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: in part because of that big two play sequence that

509
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 1: I alluded to earlier that involved all the different Greek

510
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: Woolen emotions that we've watched throughout his career. It was

511
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 1: like his entire career in sixty seconds by coming.

512
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 10: After Stafford, He's rushed, he's pressured, he throws intercepted, no drops,

513
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 10: nearly picked up the twenty seven yard line. Pouka the target.

514
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 10: Greek Woolan, though, got mits on it and so the

515
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 10: Rams will have to punt. They get nothing on third

516
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 10: and twelve. Stafford dodges the interception, gets a high five

517
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 10: from McVeigh and now there is a ton of pressure on.

518
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:45,120
Speaker 3: The first down for the Rams. Treek Wooland just got

519
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 3: a finality. You're kidding for taunting.

520
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 2: You're kidding.

521
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 10: Greek Woolan instead of an La punts puts Matthew Stafford

522
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 10: back in his huddle. Matthew with a new first down

523
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,919
Speaker 10: and plus tenvor tour three left, hike be right, he's

524
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 10: away from center pass, spins his head around and he

525
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 10: whistles one to.

526
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 11: The end zone, cut by Pooka at the front left pylon.

527
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 11: On one strike, Matthew to Pooka, he puts it in

528
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:15,719
Speaker 11: the paint and the Rams are back.

529
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,439
Speaker 1: One of the great parts of this game was just

530
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: the emotions.

531
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 2: You think the Seahawks are gonna get the.

532
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: Ball back with, you know, a few minutes left in

533
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: the third quarter, up eleven, and instead two plays later,

534
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 1: you know, Matthew Stafford to to paraphrase his teammates, out

535
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,439
Speaker 1: there snatching souls by going after requal and you know

536
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: Sean McVay like called up that play to go right

537
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 1: after Requel and Pooka Nakua goes nine for one sixty

538
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: five in a touchdown in this game, Like how good

539
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: is Puka and Jackson Smith and Jigby that I haven't

540
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: even mentioned, Like the two best receivers of the season

541
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: deliver nine for one sixty five in a touchdown for Puka,

542
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 1: ten for one point fifty three for JSN. Just two

543
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 1: of the best receiver seeds you ever want to see.

544
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 1: But at there were different moments in this game when

545
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 1: I thought, Oh, the Rams are just gonna do this.

546
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: There was that moment and it was the Stafford breaking

547
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,479
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence's tackle on a fourth down scramble where I'm like, oh,

548
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna do that, because that was some that was

549
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,919
Speaker 1: some badash, like that requill and throw, Like everyone's saying like, oh,

550
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: you got lucky with the tantin call cool.

551
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 2: True, you did, but not everyone.

552
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 1: Is going to hit you with a dime for forty

553
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: five yards like immediately afterwards.

554
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:24,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I don't know how much of it was

555
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 3: specifically like hey take this, because Pooka had two hundred

556
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 3: twenty five yards receive, I do.

557
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: I do think the next play he was like, let's

558
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: go after Equill and let's do this.

559
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 3: Let's do what they don't expect. We'll throw the ball

560
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 3: to Pooka. I think like they would have liked to

561
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 3: have that opportunity, not necessarily just against Rereek, but against Witherspoon,

562
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 3: against really any coverage. Is as good as he's been,

563
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 3: as good Stafford has been in this game, and I

564
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 3: think I felt that way too about the Rams and

565
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,199
Speaker 3: their opportunity to win this game. They just have to

566
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 3: be able to get off the field on third down.

567
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 3: But in terms of the Rams offense production, I thought

568
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 3: it was a great blake Korn game where Blake Korm

569
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 3: had the hot hand to the extent that we didn't

570
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 3: even see Krion run the ball in the second half

571
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 3: the especially with a team that's in the Rams that

572
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 3: only had two hundred and thirty eight yards running out

573
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 3: a shotgun all season long, there were a lot of

574
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 3: McVeigh tendency breakers in this game. We had a couple

575
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 3: of long shotgun runs for blake Korm where the play calling,

576
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 3: everything was just working so well until it didn't.

577
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: Right, Like I was trying to think of other you know,

578
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: reasons why the Rams lost. And you know, you can

579
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: look at their success rate rushing thirty five percent.

580
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 2: It's not great.

581
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you run for five yards per carry against

582
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: the Seahawks over one hundred yards, like you'll take that

583
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: every day. This is the Seahawks defense you're going against.

584
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 1: They obviously played fantastic throwing the ball. I don't think

585
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: there's that much more to know other than the defense

586
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: and the special teams like let Stafford down. Stafford had

587
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: to be perfect to win this game, and there were opportunity,

588
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 1: like he was pretty close to being perfect. There are

589
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: those two drives we talked about that they'd like to

590
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: have back. He was so good in this game. And

591
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: it's why we get mad about quarterback wins and losses.

592
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: Like this hits me a little bit, like the Brady

593
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: lost to the Eagles in the Super Bowls, Like that

594
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 1: was one of his best performances ever and they lost

595
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: the game because his defense ultimately let Matthew Stafford down.

596
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 4: Today, I mean, this is why we thought that these

597
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 4: are the two best teams in the NFL. Yeah, because

598
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 4: they played like it. I mean, they played like any

599
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 4: team that's not the Rams or not the Seahawks that

600
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,360
Speaker 4: falls down by eleven in Seattle in the NFC Championship game,

601
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 4: in a crushing turn of events in which your punt

602
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 4: returner muffs it and they score a touchdown on the

603
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 4: very next play, they fold.

604
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 6: It's over.

605
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 4: It's too loud, it's the pressure is too high. We

606
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 4: can't get the job done. We're shooting ourselves in the foot.

607
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 4: But the Rams have Matthew Stafford who just comes out

608
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 4: and call me, fires the ball downfield and they score

609
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,120
Speaker 4: a touchdown in four plays covering seventy five yard Oh yeah,

610
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 4: And I'm like, oh, I forgot. He's a dog and

611
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:58,959
Speaker 4: he's not letting them go down like that. And that's

612
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 4: why it ended up being such a game. It's just

613
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 4: that in these types of games where the teams are

614
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 4: so close, that turnover legitimately swung the game in the

615
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 4: favor of the Seahawks. That and their defense standing up

616
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 4: at just the right time, the strength of this team

617
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 4: delivering in the big spot, and that's why it was

618
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 4: such a great game. That's why it felt like even

619
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 4: though the Rams defense let them down, let Stafford down,

620
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 4: I'm not surprised that, like both teams largely played true

621
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 4: to who they were saved for, the Seahawks defense getting

622
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 4: kind of shredded by Matthew Stafford. But it's Matthew Stafford.

623
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 4: So I don't have any qualms or regrets about the

624
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:29,919
Speaker 4: way this game played out. I thought it was hilarious

625
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 4: that Reek wool And even went so far as to

626
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 4: pull his shisty down before talking smacks in the sideline

627
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 4: and getting the flag.

628
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 6: I mean, that was all played out perfectly.

629
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,719
Speaker 1: That trash tack was so long, and they had to

630
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: break it into two different parts in the broadcast because

631
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,479
Speaker 1: I was like, I was like, he was trashtacking for

632
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: like eight seconds, but it wasn't like two crazy. I

633
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: was like, ah, that was a little weak, actually, But

634
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: then they showed like part two, it's like the sequel

635
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: where then he actually ran at the coach and then

636
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: got in his face and yelled. I was like, I

637
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: guess you gotta call it. You don't have to call that,

638
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: but just don't make that.

639
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 3: There's no obligation to call it. There's been plenty of

640
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 3: discussions he did, discussions had on sidelines that don't necessarily

641
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 3: do that, and the to the what will I teach

642
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 3: my kids community? The broadcast didn't even show any of it.

643
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 3: Who would just have the punt team run out there

644
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 3: and it would have been a kick and nothing would

645
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 3: have ever happened. But the Seahawks overcome that, And you know,

646
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 3: you talked about Stafford. The tight window percentage was over

647
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 3: a quarter twenty eight points one percent tight window percentage

648
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 3: against the twenty twenty five Seattle Seahawks defense. But a

649
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 3: lot of them like including that. You know, Shook was

650
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 3: referencing that after the drive after the Bobo touchdown where

651
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 3: they breezed down the field, the layered ball to Parkinson,

652
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,719
Speaker 3: yet where it's just like defenders jump, they reached, they

653
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 3: think they have a chance, they don't. He's just placing

654
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 3: the ball out there.

655
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: And they played such heavy man coverage in the first half,

656
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: like more than anytime all season by far. The Seahawks

657
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: are not a man covered type of team, and they

658
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: backed off it in the second half trying to adjust.

659
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: Really none of it worked because the Rams go touchdown

660
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: touchdown at the ball to the six yard line to

661
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: start the second half. It just was a game without

662
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: a lot of possessions. Let's hear from McVeigh talking about

663
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 1: his quarterback after this one after a epic season, Cheff,

664
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: do you.

665
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 3: Expect Matthew Stafford to be back next season?

666
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 4: Yeah?

667
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 8: I mean that's I mean, if he still wants to

668
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 8: play the whole kind of question, is that the answer? Yeah,

669
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 8: you have to ask him, and we've been totally present.

670
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 8: I know that if he wants to, he's still playing

671
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 8: at a pretty damn good clip.

672
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 6: I mean, he's the MVP of the league.

673
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 8: And if he's not, you know, I mean, I got

674
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 8: respect for everybody else, but this guy played at a

675
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 8: level that's just different. I appreciate you guys this year.

676
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 6: Thank you.

677
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: That's how he says goodbye, Matthew Stafford turning thirty eight

678
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: years old in a couple of weeks, right the day

679
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: after the Super Bowl, I believe. Look Stafford being negotiated

680
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: down to take less money from the Rams last offseason.

681
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: It's kind of funny to think back on. It would

682
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: not surprise me at all if Stafford rightfully asked for

683
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: more money and a raise, you know, going into next season,

684
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: and you're making eyes saying like yeah, because it's kind

685
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: of it's kind of insane to think about they basically

686
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 1: made him take a pay cut and we're willing to

687
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: let him possibly go to the Giants or Raiders before

688
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: this amazing season. But I feel mcveigh's pain because he

689
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: starts that press conference off by saying, how it's hard

690
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: to fathom that they're not playing football anymore. That they

691
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,479
Speaker 1: expected to be getting ready for the Super Bowl, They

692
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 1: expected to win a championship. They were a championship level team.

693
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: And I think two great teams just played today and

694
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: and the Rams do not come out on top. And

695
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: he knows how hard it will be to get back

696
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: there next year, and that's why you got to enjoy

697
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: it when you do get there. And you know who

698
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: was enjoying it surprisingly after the game, How about Mike

699
00:31:55,880 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 1: McDonald on the stage with just a little bit a

700
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: sauce with Michael strahand now.

701
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 12: Now coming into the sea that you were afterthought to

702
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 12: the Rams to the forty nine ers, how they feel

703
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 12: to go through both of those teams.

704
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 3: To earn your trip to the Super Bowl.

705
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 2: We did not care. It's about us.

706
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 7: It's always been about us and what we do, and

707
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 7: now we're going to the super Bowl.

708
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: I loved it. That was like his third answer, do

709
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: you want to do? You have a Mike mcdonald' impression

710
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 1: from the stage, Well.

711
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 3: It's just the way that his eyes lit up when

712
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 3: he got the pop yeah and he realized like, oh

713
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 3: this is cool. He we do not care and it's

714
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 3: about us.

715
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: And before that he was like the twelves as the greatest,

716
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: and then the crowd all happened and it was, honestly

717
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 1: like it was like Eddie Murphy at his first we

718
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: did not care. It was like Eddie Murphy at his

719
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: first open mic and just feeling that laughter and he's like,

720
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do the rest of my life just like this,

721
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: Like Mike McDonald, it's gonna be chasing that feeling shook

722
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: for the next two weeks at the very least, because

723
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: he could get on an even more important podium. Uh

724
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: in Santa Clara. What what a what a season from

725
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: this Seahawks crew. Let's uh, let's take a break. Let's

726
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: get to the AFC before we start talking about this matchup.

727
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: The NFC absolutely delivered everything we wanted out of a

728
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: conference championship, and weirdly, I think this AFC championship kind

729
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 1: of played to Type two, the ugly step brother of

730
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: of conference championship teams.

731
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 2: Let's thirty nine, go along, take by man.

732
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 3: He's gonna run it through the left.

733
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 2: He's being chased trying to get outside. He took me.

734
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 13: He's got the first run in to the first How

735
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 13: lucky with chasing defender Jonah Ellis and Drake May of

736
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 13: the Patriots fake the head office talents and the quarterback

737
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 13: the naked and boot leg out to the left as

738
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,800
Speaker 13: a first down the shop allow the Patriots to clinch it.

739
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 12: Unbelievable. Hey America, we're back. Oh no, the worst nightmare

740
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 12: has returned. We thought the team was down in the

741
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 12: ordination is down. Mike Crabel in his stop and your

742
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,240
Speaker 12: twenty three year old quarterback who should be the WVP

743
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 12: we're calling the Super Bowl sixty.

744
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I am America. That is my worst

745
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: nightmare because I'm a Patriots fan and I want to

746
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: enjoy it. And we got we got Zolac representing us

747
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: on WBZ. We're not all that of Naxis, but we

748
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: do have that obnoxist gene in us. It's Bob SoC

749
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 1: It's Zolac. It's on WBZ. It's a ten to seven victory,

750
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 1: Hey America, And it's a really fitting play. I love

751
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: a good highlight to start the game and the discussion

752
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 1: that is incredibly fitting because in a game where there's

753
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,479
Speaker 1: only so much like x's and o's to break down

754
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: in what turned into a total blizzard, Drake May's legs

755
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: were the difference. He had six first downs on seven

756
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: non kneel down runs. They only had twelve first downs

757
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 1: on the entire day. That was the difference. And the

758
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 1: craziest thing is, that's the first time I've watched that

759
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: play since learning shook that that was not the play call,

760
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: that the offensive line had no idea he was gonna

761
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 1: do a naked bootleg. He called that himself. He didn't

762
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 1: even tell the offensive line, and when you watch it,

763
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: they're all blocking zone blocking the other.

764
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 2: Way, and he just read it.

765
00:35:55,840 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 1: And that is a ballsy decision by a second year

766
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: quarterback who looked and quickly saw that he did not

767
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:08,240
Speaker 1: think anyone on the the Broncos was gonna have contained

768
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: that he could get to the outside. And Garrett Bradbury,

769
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:15,319
Speaker 1: their starting center, said after the game he was completely

770
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 1: confused about what happened on that play, and May told

771
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: him I was gonna tell you, guys.

772
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 2: But I thought that might mess it up, so I

773
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 2: just did it.

774
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 6: Oh my god.

775
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 4: That is That is the moxie of a guy who's

776
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 4: been in the league for That's something that Aaron Rodgers

777
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 4: would do. That's something I I wouldn't say Tom Brady

778
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 4: because he's he was never fleet of foot, but that's

779
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 4: somebody who's been in the league for a long time

780
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 4: and earned that type of cachet to make that call

781
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 4: and not even tell anybody. I don't know if that's

782
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 4: like I mean, if it goes wrong, then he looks terrible.

783
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 4: But I mean, congrats, it worked out for you, and

784
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 4: it worked exactly as you intended, because you're right. The

785
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 4: edge defender there goes with the zone block as he's

786
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 4: taught to do, he's instructed to do, and he loses,

787
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 4: containing can't win the race to get that's Drake may

788
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 4: trust in his legs.

789
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 6: He goes.

790
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 4: You know what, I know, I'm a superior athlete to

791
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 4: whoever's on the edge, and I'm gonna send us to

792
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 4: the super Bowl myself, and I don't care if nobody

793
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 4: else knows. I'll deal with that later. Which is crazy,

794
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 4: but I'll tell you this, As an offensive lineman, when

795
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,800
Speaker 4: you're told to block a certain play, and you expect

796
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,359
Speaker 4: a ball to go in a certain direction. Eventually you're

797
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 4: like kind of looking around, like has the running back cleared?

798
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 6: Did he ever get anywhere? Did he get stuff in

799
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 6: the backfield?

800
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 4: I can't imagine the bewilderment of all those linemen when

801
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 4: they're all flowing to the right, they're waiting for something

802
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 4: to happen behind them, and then they all look over

803
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,280
Speaker 4: about twenty five yards to the left of the sideline,

804
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 4: there's Drake May signaling first down, probably wondering what the

805
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 4: hell we're going to the super Bowl?

806
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 6: And I have no idea how we just did it.

807
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: And I know it's like one play and it seems

808
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 1: like almost a silly point we're making, but it does

809
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: kind of, I think, explain like why Drake May is cool,

810
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: because he also stiff arms Jonah Ellis on that play.

811
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 1: There's a very real situation where Jonah Ellis drags him down.

812
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: But Drake May's athleticism and despite kind of struggling in

813
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 1: the playoffs in a lot of the just pure dropback

814
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:57,479
Speaker 1: situations for a variety of reasons, he has enough play

815
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 1: making to make him spa to make him one of

816
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 1: them ones and get them over on the road in

817
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: Denver against this defense.

818
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is ultimately the difference in this game. Or

819
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 3: quarterback is able to make plays with his feet. I

820
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 3: wondered how conservative the Patriots were going to be well

821
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 3: once the snowfest began in the second half, it was

822
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 3: fully constricted murder ball.

823
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: He was running on third and along with like six

824
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 1: minutes to go.

825
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 3: And so like that. That's ultimately the difference where you

826
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 3: believe that good things could happen with the ball in

827
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 3: the quarterback's hands. For the Denver Broncos, it was the

828
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 3: absolute opposite of that situation, save the first drive, where

829
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 3: even it's not the worst thing in the world of

830
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,879
Speaker 3: Drake made, it doesn't if Ellis is able to drag

831
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,320
Speaker 3: him down short of the line the game there, because

832
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 3: I didn't believe the Broncos were capable of gaining any

833
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 3: substantial yardage with Jared's did him lateness.

834
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, Jared's didham had a lot of haters

835
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:57,800
Speaker 1: comeing into this game, a lot of people who thought

836
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 1: I was getting over my skis kind of talking up

837
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 1: the high ceiling. I did say low floor, and early

838
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 1: in this game, why don't we at least have one

839
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:10,720
Speaker 1: more Broncos highlight this season. Very early in this game,

840
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,839
Speaker 1: like it looked like the high ceiling part of it

841
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:15,800
Speaker 1: might actually come true.

842
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 14: Stidham under center. Stidham rolls to he's right, throws wide open, touchdown, touchdown.

843
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 14: Tortland sudden steady on the money. You could see it

844
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 14: from here. Nobody covered Courtland, so I was saying wide

845
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,760
Speaker 14: open because he was in Denver on the board.

846
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 1: First, that first drive, he hits Marvin Mims on third

847
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: down with a beautiful throw for over fifty yards shook,

848
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 1: and they go into the end zone. They're they're driving

849
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 1: pretty consistently in the first half of this game, and

850
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 1: you think it's it's gonna be okay. What did you

851
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:02,439
Speaker 1: see for Stidham after that? And because because look, they

852
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 1: at one point had a yardage advantage of one hundred

853
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: and twenty five to twelve until they went for it

854
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 1: on fourth down deep in the Patriots and after that,

855
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 1: and that's pretty early in the game, they only had

856
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:17,839
Speaker 1: fifty six yards the entire rest of the game.

857
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 6: You know, it's funny.

858
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:22,280
Speaker 4: I'm glad we started with the Mayor bootleg to clinch

859
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 4: the game because it started in the exact opposite fashion

860
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 4: for both teams. That was actually the Broncos second drive,

861
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,879
Speaker 4: but their first drive ended so quickly everybody forgets about

862
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 4: it because Stidham looked completely unsettled, May looked largely unsettled.

863
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 4: Neither both teams tried to run the ball on the

864
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 4: first two downs of each of their series. Neither got anywhere.

865
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 4: I was like, Oh, I guess we're in for a

866
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 4: defensive battle where both quarterbacks don't really know how to

867
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 4: handle the situation. And then Stidham settled in. I think

868
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 4: it was that deep ball tomens. He's got the arm.

869
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 4: We always knew he had the arm. He puts it

870
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 4: on him perfectly. That gives him the confidence to finish

871
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 4: that drive off, and they were rolling. They go on

872
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,880
Speaker 4: another drive later in the first half where they get

873
00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 4: a fourth and one and they come up short, but

874
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 4: they were moving the football well. And then, like you said,

875
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 4: they had twenty four yards for the rest of the

876
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:04,240
Speaker 4: first half going to halftime.

877
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 6: That miss a field goal. They lost their mojo.

878
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 4: And part of the reason they lost their mojo is

879
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 4: because the Patriots were able to upset him and unsettle him.

880
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 4: They were able to pressure him, they were able to

881
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 4: complicate the picture and you saw a lot of jittery

882
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 4: feet in the pocket.

883
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 6: He never really looked comfortable after those first.

884
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 4: Few possessions, and then the weather set in and then

885
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 4: threw everything you know, askew. And basically from there it

886
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:25,880
Speaker 4: was trying to ask somebody to throw his way out

887
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 4: of a wet paper bag and he doesn't understand that

888
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 4: he's in the wet paper bag. That's basically what the

889
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 4: Broncos offense was for the remainder of this contest.

890
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:32,760
Speaker 6: But it was a fun start.

891
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 4: It was a fun start, and it was one of

892
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 4: those games where you have to really capitalize in your

893
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 4: early opportunities because you never know if you're going to

894
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 4: get him, and we certainly saw that they were not

895
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 4: going to get them when it ended.

896
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:42,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was a good amount of field goal scolding

897
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 3: for Sean Payton at the on the fourth down where

898
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 3: they elect to throw, Coach Payton said that they had

899
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 3: a run called, but Mike Vrabel, the master of timely timeouts,

900
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 3: takes a time out there, causes coach Payton to reconsider

901
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 3: the call that they had. He said, in hindsight, it

902
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 3: would have been better to go with the run. They

903
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 3: played a heavy six to one and two. Guys got

904
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,280
Speaker 3: through on the fourth down where that was their best

905
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 3: and last scoring opportunity.

906
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 1: And well, I mean, I think because of the situation,

907
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 1: you know, Will Lutz is gonna skate here, You're just like, oh,

908
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,359
Speaker 1: you can't make a field goal. They missed two field

909
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:23,439
Speaker 1: goals in this game.

910
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 3: Well, I'm a one was fifty seven with the impending

911
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 3: the bending snow coming in pushing the kick to the right.

912
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 3: So I'll give LUTs the fifty four I believe yarder,

913
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 3: But yeah, that would have been considerably closer. I believe

914
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:41,959
Speaker 3: it would have been thirty eight. It's well within Lutz's range.

915
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 3: But I am acknowledging coach Payton's honesty there. The run

916
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 3: call probably would have been the right one. If you know,

917
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 3: if bo Nix is your quarterback, you feel good about that.

918
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 3: But getting Jared Steadham in that situation on fourth.

919
00:42:55,719 --> 00:43:00,319
Speaker 1: And two, it was rough and Stidham ultimately in this game,

920
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 1: like had to just not cost them the game, and

921
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 1: he kind of did, and Sean Payton's coaching on that

922
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 1: fourth down contributed it. Let's listen to Sean Payton talking

923
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 1: about that second quarter play, just just to back it

924
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,320
Speaker 1: up at this point in the game, it is seven

925
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: to nothing. The Broncos are absolutely dominating yardage. They are

926
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,720
Speaker 1: on the Patriots fourteen yard line. They got a fourth

927
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 1: and one. Peyton asked about it after the game.

928
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 10: Coach, do you have regrets for not taking the field

929
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 10: goal and going up to nothing?

930
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 9: There's always regrets, you know. I felt like, you know,

931
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 9: here we are fourth and one. We felt close enough

932
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:45,399
Speaker 9: that and it's and it's also a call you make

933
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:50,319
Speaker 9: based on the team you're playing and how what you're

934
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 9: watching on the other side of the ball. So yeah,

935
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:54,720
Speaker 9: they'll be there'll always be second thoughts.

936
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 2: That's brutal at that point.

937
00:43:58,280 --> 00:43:59,879
Speaker 1: You know, they had three straight drives where it wasn't

938
00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 1: like they were just motoring down the field, but they

939
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 1: had multiple first downs on all those drives, three on

940
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 1: that one. They did not have a single drive the

941
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 1: rest of the game in eight more drives where they

942
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:13,400
Speaker 1: had more than one first down. And it's gonna be

943
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: a talking point for these next couple of weeks of like, well,

944
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 1: who did the Patriots actually be, you know, in terms

945
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:23,319
Speaker 1: of like the opposing offenses that they've faced. And they

946
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 1: got some breaks, certainly with Nico Collins out and you know,

947
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:30,320
Speaker 1: the Chargers offensive line isn't great and Jared Stidham playing

948
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 1: him as the biggest break. But they've also allowed like

949
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 1: a ridiculously few amount of points and they've had their

950
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:41,240
Speaker 1: big time players step up in big moments. Christian Barmore

951
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:44,399
Speaker 1: with a huge sack today. I thought Milton Williams had

952
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 1: a bigger impact on this game than Nick Benito or

953
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:49,879
Speaker 1: Zach Allen or any pass rusher. He had the most

954
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 1: quick pressures by far in this game. And then Kristin

955
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 1: Gonzaz who does get beat early, ends up making the

956
00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: key interception in the fourth quarter.

957
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,400
Speaker 3: A shot there, Jordan high steps that stands it.

958
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 2: Those the people down the way, he ut a corner the.

959
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:13,320
Speaker 12: Receiver he has, they tried to double up a medn't

960
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 12: fight on it too, He said he watched his hips.

961
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 3: More pointly, he watched the flight of the football. Timed

962
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 3: it perfectly. M M.

963
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 1: It's so funny because like it's a three point game

964
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 1: at that point, and that's an interception to basically seal it,

965
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 1: And it felt so like anti climactic, like you just

966
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 1: expected it to happen.

967
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 2: You're laughing because it was.

968
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 6: A beach ball. The thing was in the air.

969
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:36,760
Speaker 2: Fore sure, it's bad.

970
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 3: The calls perfect. He waited on a floater like you

971
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 3: can't even say, like he's fielding a punt back there,

972
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:46,840
Speaker 3: and to call it a double move like Mims is,

973
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 3: you know, kind of just I don't know what I

974
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 3: don't I would like to know what Jared Stoodham was

975
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 3: hoping to do with the way that well.

976
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 1: I think what he was doing was regretting that he

977
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 1: didn't let the pass before go, which Tony Romo thought

978
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 1: was a good you know, turned down that. Ultimately, Mims

979
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:07,720
Speaker 1: you know, kind of ran into coverage on the play before,

980
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 1: but he had a chance. Actually, it was one of

981
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 1: the few times he saw a receiver with a little

982
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 1: bit of space in the second half and he didn't

983
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 1: throw that ball, and then he kind of went to

984
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 1: the next play and thought, well, I'm just gonna throw

985
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:19,800
Speaker 1: this thing. It reminded me a lot of the Jared

986
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 1: goff interception to Stefan Gilmour in the Super Bowl. Not

987
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 1: quite you know, Goffs wasn't quite as much of a lollipop,

988
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:30,320
Speaker 1: but considering that was indoors, they were kind of similar

989
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 1: situations and just poor efforts. We got to talk about

990
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:38,360
Speaker 1: the weather, because you know, after the game some of

991
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 1: the players talking about it basically just said like, yeah,

992
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 1: you couldn't really Evan Ingram I think, said after the game,

993
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:50,840
Speaker 1: like you couldn't really see where the defenders were, You

994
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 1: couldn't see where the ball was, like, especially when you

995
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 1: were going in the direction that the Patriots were going

996
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter and that the the Broncos were

997
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 1: going to a third You.

998
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:03,319
Speaker 2: Couldn't see anything. You couldn't do anything.

999
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 1: He was like, I didn't know what how much depth

1000
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:08,360
Speaker 1: to get, you know, I didn't know like where we were,

1001
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:12,840
Speaker 1: and and you also couldn't cut confidently. So it was

1002
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 1: too much weather. I'm on the too much weather. I'd

1003
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 1: rather see football played at a higher level camp. I

1004
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 1: don't know how you stand it on it.

1005
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 4: So yeah, okay, so Midwestern guy have played in the snow.

1006
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 6: I have played in the cold very much.

1007
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 4: The throwback, no football is a game that should be

1008
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 4: played outdoors today changed my mind because with the trip

1009
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 4: of the Super Bowl on the line, I don't need

1010
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 4: the football reduced to whatever this was. In the second half,

1011
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:40,919
Speaker 4: the visibility was so bad, which, by the way, hat

1012
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 4: tip to the Patriots equipment staff for inadvertently choosing the

1013
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 4: snow cameo uniforms this week. Great foresight on your part,

1014
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 4: just fantastic.

1015
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:48,959
Speaker 2: Is that good?

1016
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:49,239
Speaker 3: Though?

1017
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:51,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if they could see their own teammates

1018
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:51,840
Speaker 1: in the snow.

1019
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 6: It didn't matter.

1020
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 4: They had the lead, didn't matter, and that's the beauty

1021
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:57,479
Speaker 4: of having a three point lead in a snowstorm. But yes,

1022
00:47:57,560 --> 00:47:59,799
Speaker 4: this is a terrible viewing experience for those of us

1023
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 4: that just because we couldn't figure out where they were

1024
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 4: on the field. It was so bad that Nance and

1025
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:06,880
Speaker 4: Romo before the start of a drive were waiting to

1026
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:09,400
Speaker 4: be fed where exactly the ball was on the field

1027
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:10,560
Speaker 4: because we couldn't tell.

1028
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:11,879
Speaker 6: That was after they took the.

1029
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 4: Lines that were super imposed on the field off the

1030
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:16,239
Speaker 4: screen that cut off klebon Chasson's head.

1031
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 1: Look at Parson here if you're watching on YouTube, he's

1032
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 1: hi Kabad Crane.

1033
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,719
Speaker 2: They took the poor man's head off.

1034
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 4: Sorry should continued, Yes, because technology is limited, even in

1035
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:29,799
Speaker 4: these elements, even in the year twenty twenty six, we

1036
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 4: can only do so much.

1037
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 6: And both of these teams could only do so much.

1038
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 4: So like, yeah, you know what, I'm fine with building

1039
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:39,359
Speaker 4: the domes. I just thought like maybe next year. It's

1040
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 4: January and the Bills are back in the playoffs and

1041
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 4: they have a home game and it's snowing like hell

1042
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:46,200
Speaker 4: in Western New York, and everybody's mad the Bills for

1043
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 4: not building a dome even though they have a canopy.

1044
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:50,360
Speaker 6: And they're like, oh, here we go, another game ruined

1045
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:50,799
Speaker 6: by snow.

1046
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,799
Speaker 4: It's I actually understand the dome argument now, and that's

1047
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,120
Speaker 4: the I hate to say it because you know, it's

1048
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 4: still an AFC Championship game, but this was a game

1049
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:02,360
Speaker 4: that was between two very very closely matched teams that

1050
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 4: felt like it was gonna come down to the final

1051
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:06,960
Speaker 4: few possessions. Every play really felt like it mattered because

1052
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:09,839
Speaker 4: of the low score and just the thin margin for air.

1053
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:12,360
Speaker 4: And I feel like we were kind of robbed of

1054
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 4: that because the Patriots go on this nine and a

1055
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 4: half minute drive to start the third quarter. They end

1056
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 4: up getting three points out of it, and then here

1057
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:20,760
Speaker 4: comes old man Winner coming in and just dumping snow

1058
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,440
Speaker 4: on the field and everything goes completely off the rails

1059
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 4: for both teams.

1060
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:25,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I guess that that's football.

1061
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, doubly robbed in this game. I think, you know,

1062
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 3: the institution of precipitation can blame Jarrett Stidham that they

1063
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 3: have lost great snow fans like Nick Schuok, because you.

1064
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 2: Know the Stitty's fault. He's saying everything is Stitty's fault.

1065
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 4: It is because I'm a guy who went and watched

1066
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:47,239
Speaker 4: Jamis Winston leave this the Browns to a win over

1067
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 4: the Steelers.

1068
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 6: In a similar snow storm last year, and that was incredible.

1069
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:54,839
Speaker 1: My only worst My only thing on that is that

1070
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 1: the Patriots had sixty five net passing yards today.

1071
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:00,640
Speaker 2: You know how horrible that is.

1072
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 1: I mean, Drake May had the same amount of rushing

1073
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:05,319
Speaker 1: yards as they had passing yards. Marvin Mims almost had

1074
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:08,920
Speaker 1: more passing yards on that one play than the Patriots

1075
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 1: did the entire game. So I guess I just would say,

1076
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 1: and Drake May missed and I don't know if it

1077
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 1: was all weather, because some were early too. He missed

1078
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:20,880
Speaker 1: about five throws that were just open.

1079
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:22,919
Speaker 2: In this game. No one was getting anything done through

1080
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:24,400
Speaker 2: the air. Is my overriding.

1081
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:25,359
Speaker 6: It was like a raider game.

1082
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 3: Well, I think if the snow robbed us of the

1083
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:32,880
Speaker 3: pleasure of enjoying the football game, then the final moments

1084
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 3: in overtime of the divisional round, taking bo Nicks out

1085
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:39,759
Speaker 3: of this this this was the Bonnicks game where you

1086
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:43,759
Speaker 3: saw yep, Drake May with that game ceiling run on

1087
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 3: third down. The creativity that bo Nicks has in the pocket.

1088
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:51,440
Speaker 3: The antithesis of that with Jared's did him bumbling on

1089
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 3: his feet and refusing to throw the ball away and

1090
00:50:54,760 --> 00:51:01,080
Speaker 3: ultimately giving the Patriots points where it's we got robbed

1091
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:03,879
Speaker 3: of some some great opportunities. And and and I really

1092
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 3: think like if the schedule works it because I know

1093
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 3: we folks talk about the schedule and having this get

1094
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:11,839
Speaker 3: the polar vortex was gonna be in Foxborough probably would

1095
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 3: have even been worse.

1096
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:13,919
Speaker 2: It was even it looked worse.

1097
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it maybe depends on like the quality of

1098
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:19,400
Speaker 1: the snow, and you know, the way it was, you know,

1099
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 1: the wind was blowing in this game really hurt. And

1100
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 1: the fact that we just saw like the views early

1101
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:26,960
Speaker 1: in the first quarter were pristine. The fact that changed

1102
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,959
Speaker 1: so much also was bizarre. But yes, they're getting about

1103
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 1: a foot and a half of snow in Foxborough right now.

1104
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 1: And the CBS actually showed the shot of Foxborough and

1105
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:40,719
Speaker 1: they were underneath it even in a more like dramatic way. So, uh,

1106
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:44,320
Speaker 1: this storm that that's hitting everywhere but Sunny's California was

1107
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:49,320
Speaker 1: a problem. I'm glad you mentioned the fumble. So Stidham's

1108
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:54,040
Speaker 1: fumble in the second quarter, to me, was the biggest

1109
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 1: play of the game. Uh, you know, before that, the

1110
00:51:56,560 --> 00:52:02,719
Speaker 1: Patriots weren't getting absolutely anything done on defense and Stidham

1111
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:05,560
Speaker 1: just has to get rid of that ball. Dirt it,

1112
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 1: take a sack, throw it out of bounds, anything. And

1113
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 1: I was making the case that he's an athletic quarterback,

1114
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:16,360
Speaker 1: but he didn't look like he is a run fast

1115
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:18,440
Speaker 1: and a straight line type of quarterback. But he was

1116
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 1: one of ten today under pressure for four yards, took

1117
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:26,440
Speaker 1: three sacks, had this fumble, also had the interception under pressure,

1118
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:28,680
Speaker 1: and that was early in the game when they were

1119
00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:30,920
Speaker 1: sending a ton of blitz is. They actually adjusted and

1120
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:33,719
Speaker 1: stopped doing that and just started playing man coverage once

1121
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 1: the snow started.

1122
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:37,680
Speaker 2: But basically, he.

1123
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:40,080
Speaker 1: Just had to avoid a play like this, and they

1124
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 1: they might have won this game, you know what I mean, Like, yeah,

1125
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 1: they just punt this ball. If it wasn't for this

1126
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:49,319
Speaker 1: one particular place shook, they maybe get it. Hell, let's

1127
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:52,359
Speaker 1: actually listen to what the Patriots did on the other side,

1128
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 1: because it fits in with everything we're talking about. Drake

1129
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 1: May did take advantage and the only way he really

1130
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:00,319
Speaker 1: knew how in this game, which was with his legs.

1131
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 13: The light is made point spish white handed to supper protections,

1132
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 13: takes me still quarters.

1133
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 3: Right touch come, I'll tell you that's the way you.

1134
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 2: God right there.

1135
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:21,800
Speaker 1: You need to stop calling for the.

1136
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 2: They split the greats man and you cut his charge.

1137
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 3: Patricks are in a state what it called to mc dangles.

1138
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:29,759
Speaker 3: They need a chance out of it.

1139
00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:32,520
Speaker 2: I need to check, like the stats in our podcast

1140
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 2: for how many people just turned it off.

1141
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:39,760
Speaker 1: Hey, America's back after each one of these these calls.

1142
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:42,759
Speaker 1: It is really crazy to think about how old there

1143
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:45,479
Speaker 1: are only points where we're from his legs because because

1144
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:49,759
Speaker 1: there's that right, there's the touchdown, there's the long run

1145
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:51,360
Speaker 1: at the end of the first half to set up

1146
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:54,160
Speaker 1: a field goal attempt that Borogalis missed. And let you

1147
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:57,160
Speaker 1: crow about a Miami kicker not being able to deliver

1148
00:53:57,239 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 1: in the colt. How long ago did you have that

1149
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:03,359
Speaker 1: take shook December first, okay, and then you came back

1150
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:06,240
Speaker 1: and the second he missed the kick. You just texted

1151
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:08,279
Speaker 1: me right back, and you and you did the thing

1152
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:10,400
Speaker 1: where you replied to the text that you sent on

1153
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:11,160
Speaker 1: December first.

1154
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:13,840
Speaker 4: That's yeah, the beauty of modern technology is that you

1155
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:16,239
Speaker 4: can keyword search your text message. And luckily I don't

1156
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:18,359
Speaker 4: text about Andy boor Gallas very much.

1157
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:22,040
Speaker 1: That was almost mean spirited, but also an incredible pad

1158
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:24,400
Speaker 1: on the back because you did call it so okay.

1159
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:26,359
Speaker 2: So he had that setting up that field goal.

1160
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 1: He had the fourth down sneak which was questionably you know,

1161
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:35,359
Speaker 1: not a first down, that set up the field goal

1162
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:37,920
Speaker 1: in the second half, the game quote unquote winning field goal.

1163
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 1: He also had a twenty eight yard run earlier on

1164
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:43,799
Speaker 1: that drive, so their big chunk play on that drive

1165
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:47,799
Speaker 1: was a big run too. And yeah, he had another

1166
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:50,239
Speaker 1: thirteen yard er mixed in. And I do think that

1167
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 1: drive after halftime that you point out, you're like, oh,

1168
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 1: it's just three points. They had the ball for twenty

1169
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 1: one minutes in the second half. They went forty two

1170
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:01,200
Speaker 1: percent in terms of their six off lineman package. It

1171
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:04,520
Speaker 1: was Thayer Mumford. They've almost not done that all season.

1172
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:07,359
Speaker 1: I know that's been popular around the league, but they

1173
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:10,319
Speaker 1: have not been a extra offensive lineman type of team

1174
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 1: and they went by far higher on that in this

1175
00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:17,279
Speaker 1: game than any game all season. So I do think

1176
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:20,359
Speaker 1: you can give the Patriots coaching staff and team credit

1177
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:23,240
Speaker 1: for there. They've been very good at adjusting and shape

1178
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 1: shifting within a game. And that drive reminded me a

1179
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:28,759
Speaker 1: lot of the fourth quarter drive against a really good

1180
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:31,480
Speaker 1: Texans defense where you burn clock and you showed you

1181
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:33,880
Speaker 1: could run the ball in a big spot. And in

1182
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:36,240
Speaker 1: this game, like a drive like that was the difference.

1183
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:39,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, And it really speaks to how the Patriots have

1184
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:42,279
Speaker 4: gotten to this point this postseason. It hasn't really been

1185
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 4: pretty in any game. There's been the explosive plays in

1186
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:47,440
Speaker 4: previous weeks, but what they've done, more than anything, on

1187
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 4: both sides of the balls, they've taken advantage of the moment.

1188
00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:51,760
Speaker 4: They've come through in the big moment, the big plays.

1189
00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:54,080
Speaker 4: The Drake may touchdown pass to Hunter Henry, the Drake

1190
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:56,800
Speaker 4: may have touchdown pass to key Shan Boudi, a touchdown

1191
00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:58,480
Speaker 4: run or a big run to set up a field goal,

1192
00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 4: dominating time possession this second half, defensively forcing a takeaway

1193
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:04,759
Speaker 4: and then converting that into a touchdown. It hasn't been

1194
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 4: by a wide margin, but they've consistently come through because

1195
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:10,920
Speaker 4: I think there are more disciplined team, they're better prepared,

1196
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 4: better coached by Mike Rabel, and they deliver. Now, not

1197
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:16,040
Speaker 4: to go all super Bowl preview on you, but I

1198
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:17,879
Speaker 4: think in the Super Bowl against the team that they're

1199
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:20,399
Speaker 4: about to play, it may need more than that, yeah,

1200
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:22,640
Speaker 4: to contend because this is a much better opponent that

1201
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:24,359
Speaker 4: they're gonna be facing in the Super Bowl.

1202
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 2: Let me give you a couple of the stats.

1203
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:31,279
Speaker 1: So through the first three rounds for any team that

1204
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:36,960
Speaker 1: played three rounds, they have the fewest amount of points

1205
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:41,239
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl era, you know, to make the

1206
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:44,440
Speaker 1: Super Bowl fifty four points. That's lower than the Ravens

1207
00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:48,759
Speaker 1: and the Giants. That's not the lowest scoring playoff team

1208
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:52,799
Speaker 1: because you know, previously, like there was a Rams team

1209
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:54,799
Speaker 1: I guess in seventy nine that only played two games,

1210
00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:57,279
Speaker 1: so they're points per game were lower. But basically in

1211
00:56:57,360 --> 00:56:59,319
Speaker 1: this era where you got to play three games, they

1212
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:01,480
Speaker 1: have the lowest score. On the flip side, though, they

1213
00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 1: have allowed the second fewest points in the first three

1214
00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:08,080
Speaker 1: games of a you know, the Super Bowl era, only

1215
00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:10,640
Speaker 1: twenty six points. And you look at this list of

1216
00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:13,359
Speaker 1: teams and it's like the greatest defenses of all time.

1217
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 1: It's the two thousand Ravens, and I forget who else

1218
00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 1: was in the mix. I think the Bucks were close

1219
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:22,720
Speaker 1: on that, and ultimately, you know, you add up those points.

1220
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:24,840
Speaker 1: They have a pretty big scoring margin here. What is

1221
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:27,720
Speaker 1: it fifty four to twenty six in three games? That's ridiculous.

1222
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:30,360
Speaker 1: That could be one game. That's three games, So they've

1223
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:32,960
Speaker 1: they're going to get a lot of questions about.

1224
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:35,240
Speaker 2: The manner to which they got there.

1225
00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:37,960
Speaker 1: I think Drake may, even though he's not going to

1226
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:40,840
Speaker 1: relish this matchup, it's a very difficult defense for the

1227
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:43,160
Speaker 1: fourth straight game, I think he's going to relish being

1228
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:46,800
Speaker 1: in better conditions, yeah, because they did not handle conditions

1229
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:48,520
Speaker 1: particularly well on offense in the three.

1230
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:52,360
Speaker 3: Games, and the conditions weren't ideal in the previous rounds either.

1231
00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:56,200
Speaker 3: Now this was you know, unique in the snow and

1232
00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:59,120
Speaker 3: the cold and the wind. But to be able to

1233
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:01,000
Speaker 3: have a drive like the one we were just talking

1234
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:03,080
Speaker 3: about where they start off with a screen pass, they

1235
00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:06,480
Speaker 3: have seven consecutive run plays, then he scrambles, they take

1236
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:09,000
Speaker 3: a shot play action, then they run another screen pass,

1237
00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:11,720
Speaker 3: then they have three consecutive run plays, get the sack

1238
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 3: and then the field goal. But there's a couple of

1239
00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:17,720
Speaker 3: scrambles involved in there where you just kind of see

1240
00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:20,720
Speaker 3: the difference. And I know we celebrated the athleticism right

1241
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:23,440
Speaker 3: because Jared Stidham is a large person who is capable

1242
00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:27,920
Speaker 3: of running fast. But there's levels in terms of, you know,

1243
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 3: being aware and having the spatial awareness of where defenders are,

1244
00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:34,720
Speaker 3: having a plan to where you can get to where

1245
00:58:34,760 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 3: you need to go in those situations because the picture

1246
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:40,920
Speaker 3: is constantly changing and Drake may is capable of doing that.

1247
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:42,440
Speaker 3: Jared Stidham was not.

1248
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:43,200
Speaker 2: That is fair.

1249
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 1: That is fair, and Stidham did say after the game,

1250
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:47,920
Speaker 1: I should have ate that sack. The Patriots with some

1251
00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:51,600
Speaker 1: fun postgame sound. In general, they've kind of adopted the

1252
00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:55,280
Speaker 1: Warriors come out and play thing between Mike Fraebel screams

1253
00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:57,360
Speaker 1: that to them, they're nine to zero on the road.

1254
00:58:57,440 --> 00:59:01,400
Speaker 1: I guess that's why they're road Warriors. So they they

1255
00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:04,440
Speaker 1: got to the Super Bowl without losing a game on

1256
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:07,240
Speaker 1: the road. We also have Milton Williams, who is delightful

1257
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:10,840
Speaker 1: and has been a great quote at the podium and

1258
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:14,240
Speaker 1: when he's one on one with our friend Cameron Wolf.

1259
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:17,800
Speaker 3: Everybody doubted us. Everybody talking about we ain't this wa

1260
00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:20,560
Speaker 3: ain't that they got no more? Oh this, and that

1261
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:23,720
Speaker 3: I want to hear something today, pup that day.

1262
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:24,320
Speaker 13: I want to hear it.

1263
00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:27,600
Speaker 4: I want to live Milton William's life. He wins the

1264
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:29,400
Speaker 4: Super Bowl with the Eagles last year. He gets a

1265
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:31,400
Speaker 4: bag and he's going back to the Super Bowl now

1266
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:33,160
Speaker 4: and he's talking his trash the whole way there.

1267
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:36,240
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, he he did it. I mean, Cameron Wolf

1268
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:36,840
Speaker 2: had a great day.

1269
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:38,480
Speaker 1: He also had a one on one with Cardi b

1270
00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:42,479
Speaker 1: h during this and uh yeah, Stefan Diggs also talking

1271
00:59:42,520 --> 00:59:44,880
Speaker 1: about all the teams that you know didn't want him

1272
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:47,800
Speaker 1: and thought his career was over. And his biggest play

1273
00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:50,240
Speaker 1: do you know which one I'm going with here in

1274
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:53,040
Speaker 1: this game shook because I didn't realize it until I

1275
00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 1: saw like a different angle replay pretty late in the game.

1276
00:59:57,080 --> 01:00:00,200
Speaker 1: It was not one of Stefan Diggs's five receptions for

1277
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:01,080
Speaker 1: seventeen yards.

1278
01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 2: What an ugly game this.

1279
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:07,160
Speaker 1: It was the very first third down of the entire game.

1280
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 1: Drake May basically threw it right at Talineo Hufunga. Could

1281
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:14,320
Speaker 1: have been an interception could have been going back the

1282
01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:17,880
Speaker 1: other way and Hufunga didn't catch it, and that happens

1283
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:19,400
Speaker 1: a lot, and I thought he just dropped it. But

1284
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:21,720
Speaker 1: when you saw it from the other angle, like Hufunga's

1285
01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:25,760
Speaker 1: got it in his hands and Stefan Diggs, you know,

1286
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:29,120
Speaker 1: knocks the ball out kind of like Pukinakua a few

1287
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:31,680
Speaker 1: weeks back for the Rams and had a big pass

1288
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:35,640
Speaker 1: defense for this Patriots team who gets it done nine

1289
01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:37,920
Speaker 1: to zero on the road. That the defense has forced

1290
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:42,160
Speaker 1: eight turnovers in the playoffs, only allowed two touchdowns. And

1291
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:44,440
Speaker 1: I saw this stat which blew my mind from a

1292
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 1: depressed I guess Dolphins reporter who pointed out this is

1293
01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:56,120
Speaker 1: the Patriots tenth Super Bowl appearance since the last time

1294
01:00:56,200 --> 01:00:57,560
Speaker 1: the Dolphins won a playoff game.

1295
01:00:58,240 --> 01:00:59,800
Speaker 6: Oh, it's kind of ratious.

1296
01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:02,640
Speaker 3: Sorry the Dolphins.

1297
01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 2: I don't know why I had the Dolphins had to

1298
01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:07,960
Speaker 2: take a stray, but there he said that, and I

1299
01:01:08,080 --> 01:01:09,760
Speaker 2: was just like, that's crazy. Is that true?

1300
01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:15,800
Speaker 1: That was I possible, but it is crazy us everybody

1301
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:17,840
Speaker 1: did doubt I mean nobody doubted them in this game.

1302
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:23,400
Speaker 1: I had Patriots in this game. Shookie's been doing great

1303
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:24,840
Speaker 1: with the picks, what about you.

1304
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:28,920
Speaker 4: I had Patriots and Seahawks. Look at you narrow margins

1305
01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:31,800
Speaker 4: in both, so you nailed it. And I have a

1306
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:33,000
Speaker 4: couple of things I want to point out from this

1307
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:36,480
Speaker 4: weekend because despite that game being ugly, and I love

1308
01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:38,080
Speaker 4: a snow day, a lot of people love us snowdy.

1309
01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:40,520
Speaker 4: But what I love more than anything is the storylines.

1310
01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:44,160
Speaker 4: And in Ram Seahawks, we got storylines of revenge for

1311
01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:47,360
Speaker 4: Cooper Cup and Ernest Jones, two guys the Rams didn't

1312
01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:49,880
Speaker 4: want anymore. They went to Seattle, they beat the Rams

1313
01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:51,800
Speaker 4: stop him from going to the super Bowl. And then

1314
01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:54,080
Speaker 4: the other one we just mentioned, Stefan Diggs in his

1315
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:57,680
Speaker 4: third attempt, he finally clears the conference title game bar

1316
01:01:58,040 --> 01:02:00,560
Speaker 4: and he's going to the super Bowl for the first time.

1317
01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:02,440
Speaker 4: Those are all fun things to track, and lord knows

1318
01:02:02,480 --> 01:02:04,560
Speaker 4: we'll be tracking them endlessly over the next two weeks.

1319
01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:09,080
Speaker 2: Joel Anderson from The Ringer had a tweet.

1320
01:02:09,160 --> 01:02:11,240
Speaker 1: They said, he doesn't know if Stefan Diggs needs the

1321
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:14,000
Speaker 1: two weeks of Super Bowl attention fare point.

1322
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:17,280
Speaker 2: Any other notes on this sky.

1323
01:02:17,320 --> 01:02:19,800
Speaker 1: By the way, punting like when you know whin there's

1324
01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:23,160
Speaker 1: wins loss, that's not a punting stat because if it

1325
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:25,560
Speaker 1: was Jeremy Cranshaw.

1326
01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:27,480
Speaker 3: Game I've ever since was so good.

1327
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:32,880
Speaker 1: He's a rookie, he's an Australian. I mean, he is incredible.

1328
01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:37,120
Speaker 1: He was so much better than the Patriots punder Bryce Behringer,

1329
01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:40,560
Speaker 1: like that almost swung the game for them. Cranshaw was

1330
01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:42,880
Speaker 1: making it happen. Eric's looking at me like, are you

1331
01:02:42,960 --> 01:02:44,080
Speaker 1: really doing punting talk?

1332
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:44,320
Speaker 10: Now?

1333
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:46,120
Speaker 2: We could be getting out of here.

1334
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:48,080
Speaker 6: Three phases thunding talk.

1335
01:02:48,120 --> 01:02:49,800
Speaker 2: You might as well do my weather report that I

1336
01:02:50,240 --> 01:02:53,000
Speaker 2: texted you. Oh I didn't see that. Do you give

1337
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:54,280
Speaker 2: it to me? You're the weather man.

1338
01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:58,120
Speaker 15: It's you know, San Francisco, Santa Clara. Okay, no dome,

1339
01:02:58,440 --> 01:03:02,160
Speaker 15: no canopy, guys, sure, Olbie weather talk this year? Sixty

1340
01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:04,080
Speaker 15: nine degrees in cloudy zickoff?

1341
01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:06,640
Speaker 2: Is that the forecast right now? Forecast two weeks out?

1342
01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:07,200
Speaker 2: You can get them.

1343
01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:10,320
Speaker 15: Okay, no snow, but San Francisco Bar area, anybody from

1344
01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:12,320
Speaker 15: the area knows you can get wet and sloppy.

1345
01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:13,720
Speaker 2: It will get cold there.

1346
01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:16,479
Speaker 4: So if you happened in, yeah, and is the field

1347
01:03:16,560 --> 01:03:18,200
Speaker 4: gonna be in decent shape? Because I think the last

1348
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:19,560
Speaker 4: Superworld there was a little slippery.

1349
01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:23,600
Speaker 2: Well that's the thing. It's get you get the nighttime

1350
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:26,560
Speaker 2: due and that's where it gets slippery.

1351
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:29,920
Speaker 3: It really is the worst. But also, let's not reside

1352
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:34,080
Speaker 3: the field on Friday night. Please, just if it doesn't

1353
01:03:34,160 --> 01:03:36,360
Speaker 3: look great, who cares. I don't want to see tackles

1354
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 3: out there sliding around.

1355
01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:39,840
Speaker 1: Right because it's what a three point thirty kickoff? So

1356
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:43,120
Speaker 1: the sun's going down, you know, by halftime or before,

1357
01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:46,200
Speaker 1: and yeah, then the moistures in the air, it's getting

1358
01:03:46,240 --> 01:03:49,600
Speaker 1: into the low fifties and people could be slipping around.

1359
01:03:49,640 --> 01:03:51,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, it should be better before we get out

1360
01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:55,160
Speaker 1: of here. Just some notes Nick Foles. Remember we brought

1361
01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:57,560
Speaker 1: up that tweet he did about the Patriots and how

1362
01:03:57,600 --> 01:03:58,680
Speaker 1: backups have a good record.

1363
01:03:59,120 --> 01:04:04,760
Speaker 2: He deleted the two during this. No, I mean, I'm

1364
01:04:04,840 --> 01:04:07,840
Speaker 2: not saying they should take away the Eagle Super Bowl victory,

1365
01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:11,840
Speaker 2: but take away his nickname m He should some they

1366
01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:12,960
Speaker 2: should be punished in some way.

1367
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:14,320
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know. You can take that one way.

1368
01:04:14,440 --> 01:04:17,160
Speaker 6: No, that's true, but the sentiment, the sentiment of it,

1369
01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:18,120
Speaker 6: maybe we can take it away.

1370
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:19,600
Speaker 3: That's awesome.

1371
01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:25,200
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins involved in the halftime, and I've got a

1372
01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:26,000
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins take.

1373
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:26,960
Speaker 3: He likes this.

1374
01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:30,080
Speaker 1: He likes this a lot, and I think he seemed

1375
01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:33,040
Speaker 1: fine for he seems good, good at it actually, and

1376
01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:35,560
Speaker 1: so I think we're gonna have Kirk Cousins as as

1377
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:38,120
Speaker 1: part of our life in the in the media moving forward.

1378
01:04:38,720 --> 01:04:39,160
Speaker 10: I like it.

1379
01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:41,040
Speaker 6: I think he's no offense to Tom Brady. He's better

1380
01:04:41,080 --> 01:04:42,760
Speaker 6: than Tom Brady. He's gotten a lot better.

1381
01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:45,200
Speaker 1: This year's He's on the halftime show, so that's a

1382
01:04:45,240 --> 01:04:46,280
Speaker 1: different that's a different skill.

1383
01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 2: I'm pretty good.

1384
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:49,360
Speaker 6: So then I think he was a good replacement for

1385
01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:49,840
Speaker 6: Matt Ryan.

1386
01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:52,920
Speaker 3: So then he would need he would need that that

1387
01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:58,080
Speaker 3: panache of perhaps the Steelers quarterback job over the Browns

1388
01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:01,320
Speaker 3: back job just to spring him onto his brocket.

1389
01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:03,960
Speaker 1: Or or he could just have his Matt Ryan, who

1390
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:06,800
Speaker 1: he just replaced at CBS, just fire him and he

1391
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:09,520
Speaker 1: just stays at CBS. You don't have to keep playing football,

1392
01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:10,480
Speaker 1: keep keep your brain.

1393
01:05:10,520 --> 01:05:13,240
Speaker 4: He's gonna he's gonna have to stop shopping at Cole's though.

1394
01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:15,480
Speaker 4: I think the wardrobe department's gonna have to upgrade him

1395
01:05:15,480 --> 01:05:16,000
Speaker 4: if he's gonna be on.

1396
01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:20,280
Speaker 1: I do think uh, I do think that uh Brady's

1397
01:05:20,280 --> 01:05:24,800
Speaker 1: improved a lot, and in general, Tom was absolutely good

1398
01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:28,360
Speaker 1: Chris Rose wanted to point out for you Shook that

1399
01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:33,000
Speaker 1: the Rams loss was good news for the Browns because

1400
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:37,200
Speaker 1: they might be looking to hire uh Nate Schielhouse mm

1401
01:05:37,280 --> 01:05:40,320
Speaker 1: hm and uh. Now, now those coordinators are going to

1402
01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:43,160
Speaker 1: be available, they might want to be talking to Chris Shula,

1403
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:46,160
Speaker 1: so that there's a little bit of a Browns angle

1404
01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:49,120
Speaker 1: for you. I think this is gonna be tricky, like

1405
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:52,400
Speaker 1: I've already seen a lot of like you know, like

1406
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:55,400
Speaker 1: it's almost painful for the Jets to see Sam Darnold

1407
01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:58,080
Speaker 1: uh do so well. It's a reminder that of the

1408
01:05:58,120 --> 01:06:00,120
Speaker 1: struggles that they've had. But I think most Jets and

1409
01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:03,480
Speaker 1: love Sam Donald and we'll probably be rooting for him.

1410
01:06:03,600 --> 01:06:05,000
Speaker 2: How you know. Sam Donald's a good guy.

1411
01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:08,920
Speaker 3: I'm just glad they're still watching football right And but.

1412
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:10,840
Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, Mike McCarthy's the new head coach

1413
01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:11,680
