00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: Be Around the NFL Podcast only exists in Dan's mark.

2
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of the Around the NFL Podcast.

3
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: My name is Dan Hans is coming to you from

4
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: a room that's filled with heroes, Mark Sessler, Chris Westling

5
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 1: and Greg Rosehal What is up, boys? Hey? Dan? Championships

6
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: Sunday is in the books and it will be breaking

7
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: new spoiler alert. The San Francisco forty Niners against the

8
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. Exactly, Mark, at you into this game.

9
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: I'm very into it. It is. It is two fresh

10
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: new teams, and it's calling for the sound drop. But

11
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 1: I want to hear real thoughts as well. Hit the

12
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:48,919
Speaker 1: sound drop. Oh yeah, yeah, Ricky, So I finish your

13
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,279
Speaker 1: thought though. No, I just you know you're looking at

14
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: the combinations the minute you get to Championship Week, and

15
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: there were a couple of combinations that excited me less.

16
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: This promises to be a total fireworks show potentially. And

17
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: you know the Sessler family is on the Niners bus

18
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: to some degree. For a large degree. Well, I'm just

19
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 1: saying I'm rooting for them to enjoy the great Simone Sessler,

20
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: your better half, as they said, Yes, no questions about

21
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: what a what a blanket statement to put on all relationships.

22
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: But in this case, correct is a huge Niners fat

23
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: She's legit. Yeah. So they are all over the map,

24
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: they're rooting for multiple teams, as children do. They're kind

25
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: of feeling out. Anything that smells like a loser they

26
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,559
Speaker 1: get away from quickly. We got we got a men,

27
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: you know, set a conference championship games overall today, which

28
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: means we're leading to a great super Bowl. Last year

29
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: we had the most unbelievable conference championship Sunday of all time.

30
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: I would say, and what did that lead to? Thirteen three?

31
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: I was I'm fine with this on our around the

32
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: NFL Network show the broadcast, which thank you to everybody

33
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,639
Speaker 1: that watched our three week audition. We've been promised nothing

34
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: about that show existing beyond uh this month, but we

35
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: had a lot of fun doing it, and everybody that

36
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: supported you guys are the best. My my prediction was

37
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: that where would be too kind of blowouts today humble brag,

38
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: and that stinks because you want a lot of fun

39
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: on the on this great day. But it really is

40
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,399
Speaker 1: the best scenario to me ultimately, because you don't want

41
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: one of these, not that there's anything against the Titans

42
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: of the Packers. But if one of those teams sneaks in,

43
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: then you're worried about a Super Bowl blowout. I just

44
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,839
Speaker 1: don't imagine how it could happen with these two teams.

45
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 1: How fun football, It's fun. This show does exist in

46
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: Dan's mind. That's what I'm beginning to learn. Also, at

47
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 1: least a vast majority of the segments cooked up. I

48
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: did Um, how is your Anthony ferk ser weill score

49
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 1: in the final six seconds to win up? Well, you

50
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 1: know it was looking good. He did score a touchdown

51
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,959
Speaker 1: and then everything, you know, the floor fell out. Um,

52
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: all right, so you know what we're here to do.

53
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: We're here to talk about the two games and uh,

54
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: and then maybe spin forward a little bit, do some

55
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 1: winners and losers. And a reminder, by the way, Uh,

56
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: we will be heading to Miami next week a week

57

59
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:14,040

Speaker 1: Chiefs haven't been in a Super Bowl in fifty years

64
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: and have one of the greatest uh fan bases in

65
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: the entire NFL. And the forty Niners with the history

66
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: that they have in the lack of Super Bowls, I know,

67
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: I know they were New Orleans, not that long ago.

68
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: That that it's long enough ago. They're gonna show up.

69
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: That's gonna be unbelievable. Everybody's excited about this matchup. The Niners.

70
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: Of course, we're in the Super Bowl against the Ravens,

71
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: the famous Beyonce blackout game at the Superdome. But did

72
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: a little research, as we must do as professionals, it's

73
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: been a while since the Niners hoisted the Lombard. You

74
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: gotta go all the way back to the ninety four

75
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: season and the Chiefs. Of course, yes, it's been a

76
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: very long time. So let's get into the games. We'll

77
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: go in reverse order once again, So let us start

78
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: at the big bow bomb Topolo and the gun moster

79
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: to the right, Samuel again, good matchup. Hendrick Bourne in

80
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: a glunch formation debo behind am Manuel the point of

81
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: the bunch to get a gun run most of off

82
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: the leptop banks of Tuco twenty touch down, Guy, great baby,

83
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: run down, you go thrunning Wow, Rod, it opened up

84
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: one on the gun Rod. Third and eight house call

85
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: from Rheed Moser, Greg Papa and company. Oh, right off

86
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: the bat, turn it off, turn it up in our

87
00:04:53,920 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: ears coming. Okay, I blocked out there for a second.

88
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: Yes you did. I had a red bull right before

89
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: where you get started? Greg Papa with the call for

90
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: the Niners radio network Brahe Mostard. He began the NFC

91
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: Championship game on the sideline as a reserve. He ended

92
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: it as a Santa Clara folk hero. Most Are set

93
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: a team record with two and twenty yards and four

94
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,799
Speaker 1: touchdowns on the ground in San Francisco's thirty to twenty

95
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: win over the Packers. The Niners advanced of their first

96
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. As I said, since season and uh, Mark,

97
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: I'll start with you on this one because simone Cessler,

98
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: she's dancing. She's dancing like nobody's watching, maybe holding a

99
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: glass of white wine chardonnay. The kids you put to bed,

100
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: and now she's just spinning around in the living room

101
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: waiting for you to get home. Let's move this along

102
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: and you know what oppress if she got him the

103
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 1: bed so quickly. What a day for Simone and all

104
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: the other Niners fans because this was a three and

105
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: a half hour celebration. To me, one thing that I

106
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: pulled from it is the versatility of the forty nine

107
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: and almost a huge flex by Kyle Shanahan to show

108
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: Jimmy G who is constantly a talking point in an

109
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: excellent quarterback in many ways, and when you need him,

110
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: he's there through the ball eight times that ninety plus

111
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: minutes of real Earth time past in this game where

112
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: Jimmy G didn't was not asked to throw the ball

113
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: because of their utter and total dominance on the ground

114
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: against the Packers defense. That sorry, Mike Petton, I mean

115
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: this is not a resume builder what happened here because

116
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: you went through huge chunks of the game where it

117
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: was just extremely clear this is what Kyle Shanahan was doing.

118
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: Re mustered his turn into Superman. We're gonna unleash him

119
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 1: over and over and over and on the flip side,

120
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: I don't think that like a supercharged Nancy Drew could

121
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: find Green Bay's offense until the game simply didn't matter.

122
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 1: I mean it's like both side of the Green Day operation.

123
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: Nancy drew on like a tour at all shot or

124
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: something have viewers more like an adult who's been through

125
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: some stuff and she because she know her her investigative

126
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: her investigative powers are fine tuned, but she's been damaged it.

127
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: I thought we saw evidence of why Kyle Shanahan is

128
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: the best play caller in the league and since he

129
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: started calling plays, he takes any running back you have

130
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: and turn him into a stud. Going back to Steve Slayton,

131
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,559
Speaker 1: who was a fantasy football god as a rookie alpham

132
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: running for six hundred yards. I mean Rahee Mosterd, a

133
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: guy who's been with seven different teams. Now. He was

134
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: a sparkscore guy coming out of Perdue. He didn't get

135
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: invited to the Combine, but ran like a four or

136
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: three eight and was a total stud athletically, but bounced

137
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: around the league. And you're at Troy troitman say you

138
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: don't see holes like this in the NFL, but every

139
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: week when you watch the forty Niners, you see a

140
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: few of them. Because Kyle Shanahan schemes this up. He

141
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: had over most of it, has over a hundred yards. Uh,

142
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: and rtage on the ground by halftime without being touched.

143
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: That shows you he's just running into open space. But

144
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: he also is like athletic and has like I love

145
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: his style. He's sort of he fits this style for

146
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: their offense so perfectly because he kind of flows with

147
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: the hole and and like knows when to get get

148
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: up in it. And Uh, it's a beautiful it's a

149
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: beautiful thing. I was waiting for the for the sound

150
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: note there, like the forty Niners not needing to call

151
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: a pass was it's it's almost humiliating the fact that

152
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: they came out a halftime after the Packers scored a

153
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: touchdown in their first touchdown drive, and it's, you know,

154
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: in theory, it's somewhat of a game at that point,

155
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: it's to seven. I guess it's not much of a game.

156
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: But at least the Packers were feeling good and he

157
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 1: doesn't need to call a pass in the second half

158
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 1: on a nine play drive. It he said coming out

159
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: of halftime, the forty Niners could legitimately kneel every down

160
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: and stuff. Yeah, they although in hindsight, you know, the

161
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: Packers did put up three touchdowns in three straight possession

162
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: and the game proved to be over at that point.

163
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: But it's outrageous to not throw a pass coming out

164
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: of halftime on that drive and still be able to

165
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: score a touchdown. It's humiliated and you and I was like,

166
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: what is Mike Petton doing? There was? There was They

167
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: didn't like put eight in the box for most of

168
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: the game. They kind of had a light situation where

169
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: they have their five defensive backs, which they played all

170
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: season long. He didn't really adjust and I thought that

171
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: the key play call was his third and seven early

172
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: and he it felt like Kyle Shanahan knew what Mike

173
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: Petton was gonna do in terms of the pressure that

174
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: he was gonna bring. And he calls a third and

175
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: eight draw that goes for a remoster touchdown and it's over.

176
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: And none of this is stunning. I mean green Bay defense,

177
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: while it was improved this year and obviously they Guta

178
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: KANSTI had a really nice offseason and we celebrated that

179
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: all seasons. I'm not sure he gets I think we

180
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: can't play that tonight. You can't get it. As as

181
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: as they've had great German clubs are closed they yeah,

182
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: they closed out the game President Smooth the big exact

183
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: last week, but even that game, the Green Bay defense

184
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 1: was getting gash down the stretch there. Uh So they

185
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: had always been susceptible to cold stretches, and this was

186
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: felt like basically a worst case scenario where the defense

187
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: isn't ready and then the Niners offense is just ripping through.

188
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: I just I think that we all trusted Kyle Shanahan

189
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: in so many ways. But one of the ways is

190
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,719
Speaker 1: who's going to get the best of Kyle Shanahan versus

191
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: ex co workers that he knows. And I think we

192
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: mentioned this on our show on on Friday too, that

193
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: you know, he worked very closely with Mike Petton and

194
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: that advantage went clearly to Kyle Shanahan. To Matt Lafleur,

195
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: I mean, fill in the blank. It was Kirk Cousins

196
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. So it's like, when you

197
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: work with Kyle Shanahan, he's observing you, and I think

198
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: he does an excellent job of Their roster is not

199
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: star studded on any level. It just is. It's it's

200
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: a hodge podge of guys that have grown inside the

201
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,199
Speaker 1: Niner system and some free agents and people that he's

202
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 1: found that fit. Everywhere he goes, he seems to find

203
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: the right most piece. But I mean this to me

204
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: is one of the most talented, if not the most

205
00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: I just would say that. I would say that two

206
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: years years ago, you wouldn't say that like these players

207
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: that have, like George Kittle. We all kind of fell

208
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: in love with Kittle a couple of seasons ago, but

209
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: becoming a household name is happening now. Aigman made a

210
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: great point of Kyle Shanahan. He thought his best gift

211
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: is being able to evaluate talent and how it's going

212
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,559
Speaker 1: to fit in his system. And and John Lynch does

213
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: there's all the credit for everything that he's done to

214
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: help the process here, but this is a situation where

215
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: Kyle Sanahan's the boss. I mean, this is Kyle Shanahan's team,

216
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: and especially offensively to your point, Mark, he picks guys

217
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: that you don't know are gonna be stars, and they

218
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: look like stars, like Deebo Samuel Well. A big part

219
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: of that is development and developing George Kittle from a

220
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: fifth round tight end into the best in the business.

221
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: That's huge, and then to go out and nail the draft.

222
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: I specifically ripped on John Lynch this offseason and wondered

223
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: all those first round picks they were pouring into the

224
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: defensive line and nothing was going on. Now, you draft

225
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: Nick Bosa, turned the whole unit around. Pick up Drake

226
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: Greenlaw in the fifth round, pick up Deebo Samuel, when

227
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,839
Speaker 1: other guy as they're taking in nikkil Harry, Greg hurt Um.

228
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: Here's when we're talking about it. Jimmy G throwing just

229
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: eight passes, but it's incredible what this team was able

230
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 1: to do offensively without a passing game, but without using

231
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: their passing game. At one point, Jimmy G went more

232
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: than ninety minutes of real time with between passes when

233
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: he connects with George Kittle with about seven and a

234
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: half minutes of All right, if any somebody already said it,

235
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: somebody already said it, I don't need your little chuckle

236
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: in your looks Sessler, and I did not start that

237
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: look on any level, by the way. I don't need

238
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: the looks, is what I'm saying it is, And had

239
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: to be looking at someone who made me chuckle. So

240
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: there's a lot going on in the host. I can't

241
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:47,199
Speaker 1: find hang on every word, every word I have to heng.

242
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: I think it's worth reiterating, so please when he connects

243
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: with George Kittle with about seven and a half minutes play,

244
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 1: that's the only target Kittle had all game. That's George Kittle,

245
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 1: that is one of the great tight ends in the league.

246
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: And he was second in the team and receiving. Also

247
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: was throwing devastating blocks left and right. I mean, he

248
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: wasn't it wasn't a bye week for Kiddle, but it

249
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: almost like they kind of like, it's hard, it's tough

250
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 1: to scout this team through the air when they did

251
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: nothing this week. Already said that Well was at home

252
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: watching this game and he is having the best time

253
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: he's ever had, not on a football field. Because Theties

254
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: Navy offenses out there going to the Super Bowl. I

255
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: mean they ran at forty one times and through an

256
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: a It's outrageous. I mean, they are truly playing like

257
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: nies forties fifties football, but with an amazingly creative running

258
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: game twist to it. Four hundred and seventy five yards

259
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 1: and two games for the Niners in the playoffs on

260
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: the ground. To Kiddle's credit, Kyle Janahan said he never

261
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: once has asked me to call a pass play for him,

262
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: But if we pass a bunch of plays in a row,

263
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 1: he'll come over and say, Hey, isn't about time we

264
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: call a run play? Now? I want to get out

265
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: there and block somebody. Do we put any uh? We

266
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 1: put this loss on Aaron Rodgers at all? Yes, I

267
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: mean I don't think if he had played his best

268
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,559
Speaker 1: that they wouldn't necessarily win. But you cannot come out

269
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 1: of a game where he turns the ball over twice

270
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: in the first half, one which really, you know, put

271
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: the game away essentially. I mean, he goes what three

272
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: and out fumble interception in three straight drives in the

273
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: second quarter. He started six for six and I think

274
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: at that point they had negative passing yards, so it

275
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: was certainly more than just him. But he started the

276
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: game poorly. The first three first downs of the game

277
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: he went one yard pass on a third and short

278
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: sack sack, and he if he has had any issues

279
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: I would say consistently over the last couple of years

280
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: is that he doesn't take chances, that he throws the

281
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: ball away, that he eats the ball a little bit,

282
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: and that happened early in this game. I don't know

283
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: if it would have mattered, but he didn't play well.

284
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: That's he's gonna take blame because of who he is.

285
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: But from the halftime of the win over the Seahawks

286
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: until the halftime of this drubbing that they took in

287
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: the first half year, they were outscored forty seven to seven.

288
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: And you know, if it's a different type of type

289
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: of quarterback, you can say that they were The offense

290
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: was taken totally out of its game. I mean they

291
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: just the defense, to me, takes a huge matt This

292
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: also is a Niners team that was about three plays

293
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: away from being eighteen and oh, you just ran into

294
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: a buzz saw. Romo said in the middle point of

295
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: the season that Rome that Rogers and la Flora had

296
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: basically come to an understanding. La Fleur calls the first

297
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: and second down place and then Rogers say, let let

298
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: me handle third downs. From that first forty Niners blow

299
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: out to the first half of this one, over sixteen

300
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: on third downs against the forty Niners, that's the man

301
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: who's not handling pressure well. And when you juxtapose it

302
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: with the way Patrick Mahomes handed pressure, I know the

303
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: Titans pass rush isn't even in the same league as

304
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: as the as the forty Niners pass rush, but Rogers

305
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: does not handle pressure like he did earlier in his career.

306
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: Also didn't like Matt Lafleura not going for it on

307
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: fourth and short very early at midfield. These are all

308
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: just little things that the Packers needed to be perfect

309
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: to compete even and it was really just the turn

310
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: overs from from Rogers to me that that stands out

311
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: for them to have any chance. He couldn't have done

312
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. By the end of next season, he will

313
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: have turned thirty seven years old. So if you're a

314
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: Packers fan, you know this is a game that sometimes

315
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: these are easier to digest when you're clearly outclassed, as

316
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: as Green Bay was in this game. But the clock

317
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: is now used to talk about that some people would

318
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: get ahead of themselves when he when Rogers was thirty

319
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: thirty four. Oh man, you're burning away his prime. Now

320
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: we're really getting into the late career period where we

321
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: don't know how much longer he's gonna be able to

322
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: be that guy. Is he even that guy anymore? West

323
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: You're you're saying there's certain aspects of his game that

324
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: have already deteriorated. So that's kind of a bummer. And

325
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: I know, Greg, you were talking about on Thursday, you

326
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: were getting excited, you were hopeful, and Aaron Rodgers made

327
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: some great throws. I mean, you look at the numbers

328
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: and you had you would think he had a decent game.

329
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: But you see, and we'll get to Patrick Mahomes in

330
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: that game. At this point, a difference between the true

331
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: like top of the line quarterbacks who can almost single

332
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: handed lee will a team back into action, and where

333
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: Rodgers is, who I think maybe at this point in

334
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: his career, is maybe just a step below that. Is

335
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: that unfair? No, No, I don't think that's unfair. But

336
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: I also think you can point that if Rogers had

337
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelsey instead of Jimmy Graham and

338
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 1: Alan Lizard, I think the results are a little bit different. Absolutely.

339
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: But He's also was healthy all year and I don't

340
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: think anyone would argue that he was a top five

341
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,679
Speaker 1: NFL quarterback this year. I don't think he was that

342
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: close to being a top five NFL quarterback this So

343
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: that's a pretty big change he made. He's healthy and

344
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: he's not a top five quarterback. That's different. Now could

345
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: he be next year? I mean the fact that Tom

346
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: Brady to me was you know, a top one or

347
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 1: two quarterback for you know, three years from ages thirty

348
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 1: to forty one. I do believe it could still happen

349
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 1: it with the right combination of players and coaches, but

350
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,239
Speaker 1: it wasn't happening this year at that level. I do too.

351
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: And when we played the Goodies song and all that business.

352
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: He he did a nice job rebuilding the defense, but

353
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: there was a I always felt there was a little

354
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 1: bit of I don't want to call it eric because

355
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 1: I think they simply believed in their young wide receivers.

356
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 1: But this we don't need to address our skill position players.

357
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: On offense. We're set, We're fine, and Aaron Rodgers throwing

358
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 1: to nobody in this game like that. There's you get

359
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: a big play by Jimmy Graham, but it's like a

360
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: total anomaly on this season. I think you have you

361
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: do have to ask questions. I think if you're the

362
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: Packers and I'm sure they're going to be investing in

363
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: offense this offseason, you know, philosophically, they've put so much

364
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: into their defense free agency money and draft picks. They

365
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 1: have spent like crazy on their defense, and they improved

366
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: the defense from terrible to okay this year. But it's

367
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: it's an offense league, and I'm sure they're gonna want

368
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: to start investing more in the air. And you could

369
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: see why that was their mindset, is like, we have

370
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: an all time graded quarterback. We believe we've given enough

371
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: developing talent where he could lift them and then if

372
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,959
Speaker 1: we build up on d it could all come together

373
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 1: in a championship type Stu, maybe this is a bit

374
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: of the wake up call because here are some of

375
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: the other guys that caught balls other than Adam's Graham

376
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: Alan Lazard. You had Jake Camaro a catch, Marcedes Lewis

377
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,959
Speaker 1: with two catches, Jay Sternberger with two catches, Geronimo Allison

378
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: with two catches, Tyler Irvine with a catch. I mean,

379
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: these guys, they need to upgrade the talent. I agree,

380
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: we're all in agreement on that. Well. I know it's

381
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: a new regime there, but part of their identity to

382
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,199
Speaker 1: me is played just well enough to get steamrolled by

383
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 1: the forty niners in the playoffs. Because this has happened

384
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: over and over again against their defense, right, Well, they Yeah,

385
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,919
Speaker 1: when they've lost this year, they've lost hard. I mean

386
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: they've lost to the Chargers, they lost in this game.

387
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:31,439
Speaker 1: They they haven't been overly competitive. It it's just a

388
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: reminder to how how tough it is to make the

389
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I mean, the forty Niners or four and

390
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 1: twelve last year, they're in the super Bowl. And now

391
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 1: Jimmy g has made just as many Super Bowls as

392
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 1: Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers has had for their careers.

393
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: It just takes so much. I mean, it makes Brady's

394
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: nine Ross Tucker point makes Brady's nine super Bowls all

395
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: the more ridiculous that Rogers and Brees have been to

396
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 1: one each. Like, not only do you need things to

397
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,919
Speaker 1: come together, but you need to not have to face

398
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: uh an epic forty Niners team that even the best

399
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers was probably gonna lose. We were like four

400
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: months away from Kyl Shanahan and John Lynch being on

401
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: everyone's hot seat list. I mean, it's just everything changes

402
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: very quick. Blame the Saints. I blame the Saints for

403
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: blowing that first game. They should have been in this game.

404
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: The NFC North was over a little overrated all year Uh,

405
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: they should have been there. They weren't. They didn't get

406
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 1: the w didn't happen. Alright, any other thoughts on this

407
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: game before we move on? Well, we'll do a little

408
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: winners and losers at the end if you want to

409
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: put a bow on anything here. Um, all right, now,

410
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: this is the only reason we got Ryan Bartlett behind

411
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: the glass, big cheese fan. It's been waiting his whole

412
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: life to see the Chiefs in the super Bowl, making

413
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: today a very important day. Hard not to be happy

414
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: for him after all these shows that we've done with

415
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: him and the years where the Chiefs melted and you know,

416
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: West said to me privately, it's hard not to be

417
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 1: happy for him. But I'm still not. Wait, what's fair?

418
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: I am a and of Ryan Bartlett and a fan

419
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,239
Speaker 1: of Bryan Bartlett's Instagram account, which is on fire. All right,

420
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: So Bartlett was a big day for him because his

421
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: Chiefs are playing for a chance to get back to

422
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. Let's get into that game. Williams changed

423
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 1: that same way. Three man rush again by Tennessee Mahomes

424
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: moving to his left, latterally chased holding it and gets

425
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: out of bouncing up the sideline. He's not out of

426
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 1: bounds yet he's at the ten. Inside the Tenny dives

427
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 1: for the end zone touchdown Kansas City. A remarkable acrobatic

428
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 1: scramble on the twenty seven yard run. Maybe the best

429
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: play Yett of Patrick Mahomes. Incredible young career. He had

430
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 1: to the King of these Kingdom for tru Today, the

431
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 1: team that Lamar Hunt founded has just one Lamar Hunts

432
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: trophy in the stadium. That was Lamar Hunts Dream Carndam.

433
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 1: It's holmated his whole career. Oh, turn it up in

434
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: my ears. The chiefs chiefs chief Chee chee going to

435
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: the dance. If you wonder, Markham, they had a sacrifice

436
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 1: a girl. The natives make this happen, I know, but

437
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,959
Speaker 1: I long disagree with you about what's happening in this scenario.

438
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: To me, it's like a I mentioned it the police trauma.

439
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: You take it somewhere totally different st Patrick Mahomes, Yes,

440
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: he was a surgeon throwing the ball Sunday, but it

441
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 1: was his that twenty seven yard run where he tap

442
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: danced down the left sideline at the end of the

443
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: second quarter. That's what will remember most about uh this

444
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,959
Speaker 1: year's AFC title game. Mahomes is incredible. TV run gave

445
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 1: the Chiefs the lead for good and routes with thin

446
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: over the Titans at Arrowhead. Yes, the Chiefs advanced to

447
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: their first Super Bowl since the nineteen sixty nine season,

448
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 1: and uh, Greg, with Mahomes out front, they have a

449
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 1: great chance to bring this thing home. I think what

450
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: is so remarkable about Mahomes is that on a day

451
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: like today, it's some of the things you don't think about,

452
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: you know, when it comes to Mahomes that totally destroys

453
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 1: the opposition. Like he's moving defenders before the snap to

454
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: kind of open up, you know, running lanes. He's diagnosing

455
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 1: every single thing that Dean P's and Mike Rabel tried

456
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: to do before the snap to show him different coverages.

457
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: None of that, uh got him out of his game.

458
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: When they take away his first read, especially early in

459
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: the game, he hits a third intended Kelsey that was

460
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 1: an amazing play to make it forth and short, and

461
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 1: they keep that drive going. I think his best skill

462
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 1: right now might be buying time, having a feel for

463
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 1: where the pass rush is coming from and buying a

464
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: little extra time for him to make his magic. And oh,

465
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 1: that's different stuff than used his arm, which is the

466
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: greatest arm I've ever seen, and it's gonna take an

467
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: unreal defensive effort to stop him. And luckily for us,

468
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: you know, he's playing the best defense in the NFL.

469
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 1: It took about twenty to twenty five minutes worth of

470
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: game time in this game to to solve the question

471
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 1: of which Juggernaut force was more unstoppable, and it was

472
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: Mahomes because resistance was futile. I think what Greg said,

473
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: he said it well, like anything in front of Mahomes,

474
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 1: if he can see it, he can solve it. You

475
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: gotta you gotta blindside him in order to sack him.

476
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: In this game, the Titans were getting some pretty good

477
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: heat on him, and he was solving it by either

478
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 1: scrambling or buying time to hit receivers. And I think

479
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: that changed the whole way the Titans called offense because

480
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: they knew their defense could not stop him, So every

481
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: set of downs became so precious that they could not

482
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: go away from Derrick Henry. That's what they believed in.

483
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: And when you had the second and ones or the

484
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: third and two is that they used to do play

485
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: action on, they said, we gotta go with Henry and

486
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 1: in Chiefs, you saw they were even doing goal line

487
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: defense in the first half to stop Henry in short yardage.

488
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: And at that point we're used to seeing Arthur Smith

489
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: dial up, play action or get creative, but I didn't

490
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,360
Speaker 1: think they dared get creative with the way to Mahomes

491
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: was toying with their defense. Yeah, I mean Tennessee's bread

492
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 1: and butter. At least two really interesting wins to get

493
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,479
Speaker 1: to this point are making teams that people thought more

494
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: of highly uncomfortable and the Titans controlling the pace, and

495
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: the Titans, especially in the second half, you know, having

496
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: their way, and the Chiefs at this point if you

497
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: look at their two deficits against the Texans and today

498
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 1: when they did down seventeen seven, that's a forty one

499
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: to seven deficit that they fought their way out of.

500
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: So I don't so I cain both comfortably, exactly to

501
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 1: the point where I think even watching it at no

502
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: today was a little different than the Texans because I

503
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 1: simply believed in the Titans more and they and they

504
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,360
Speaker 1: put up more of a fight after after having that lead.

505
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: But it was like by halftime that I had the

506
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: same thoughts I did last week, Like this game feels

507
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: just simply over to me, because what I love about

508
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: Kansas City, why I think the Super Bowl will be

509
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: awesome no matter what happens in the first minutes, is

510
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: how aggressive they are. Even when they're up and it's

511
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 1: third and ten, they're gonna keep throwing the ball. And

512
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 1: they're not one of these cookie cutter teams that sits

513
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,360
Speaker 1: on a lead. They are gonna relentlessly look for an advantage.

514
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: And that's Kyle Shanahan too, So we're looking on paper,

515
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 1: it's something very classic with the way the two coaching

516
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 1: staffs attack. It's interesting how the Chief's offense never really

517
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,959
Speaker 1: kind of wet that next level during the regular season

518
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: and now they are in that unstoppable type feel that

519
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: marked their UH season in when Mahomes was the m

520
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: v P and through fifty touchdowns, I just I couldn't

521
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,360
Speaker 1: not to keep everything on Mahomes, but I just could

522
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 1: not believe how impressive he was in this game. It

523
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: was like it was one of the best quarterback games

524
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 1: I've ever seen, and I've ever seen and I know

525
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: he his numbers aren't perfect because twenty three or thirty five,

526
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: but I thought he played a flawless game and did

527
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 1: things that nobody else can do. The touchdown run was

528
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 1: Romo said it during the game. He said, it is

529
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,679
Speaker 1: maybe the best individual play we've seen by anyone all season. Hey,

530
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: you just did it in the a f C title

531
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,959
Speaker 1: game to put your team ahead for good. His passing

532
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: was unbelievable, and then when the Titans and they threatened

533
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: to make things interesting, bang he hits Watkins for sixty yards,

534
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: showing off that unbelievable arm. It's almost unfair his physical abilities.

535
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just so fun to watch, especially with

536
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:23,919
Speaker 1: the running ability. I mean that that to me has

537
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: been a difference in their winning streak since you know,

538
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: they lost to the Titans the last time around it

539
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:31,959
Speaker 1: he has picked up and I'm thinking of the Chargers

540
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 1: game and up definitely through the playoffs whenever they're taking

541
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: away the past. Now he's thinking, okay, he knows everything

542
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: in front of I'm gonna take eleven yards when he

543
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 1: was their leading rusher in both of these playoffs. Cut

544
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,880
Speaker 1: the defense on a yo. Yo. It's it's out right,

545
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of it is mental though,

546
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I really do think he's in his third

547
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 1: year in this system, you know, second as a starter,

548
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 1: and a lot of it is he seems incredibly sharp

549
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 1: and that he's like further ahead right now that he

550
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 1: was a year ago in terms of taking what the

551
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: defense gives. I think it also points to and I

552
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,360
Speaker 1: like Damian Williams and he's had a couple of big

553
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 1: plays for the Chiefs obviously down the stretch. But they're

554
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: running back situation just is it he has to do

555
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: that because they can't lean on their stable of runners

556
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 1: the same way that don't need you don't need to

557
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:22,239
Speaker 1: run to be the best offense in the league. Get

558
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: into a situation where they need you. Yeah, you know

559
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: you want haven't you want to? But it was it

560
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 1: was pretty interesting in the first half. I mean, I

561
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 1: think they had three rushing attempts in the first half,

562
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 1: and to Andy Reid's credit, he came out a half

563
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: time and they had that drive right at a half

564
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: time thirteen place, seventy three yards. Uh. And that was

565
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: a lot of running in the third quarter with Damian

566
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: Williams and Mahomes and so they are able to mix

567
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: it up a little. They were up ten first downs

568
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: to four on the ground over Tennessee at one point,

569
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: which is, you know they're these games have weird statistical

570
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: stuff happening three quarters of the way through, but that

571
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: shows you that should have been reversed if you're the Titans.

572
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: Let's hear from Andy Reid after the game when they

573
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: delivered the Lamar Hunt trow be back to the Chiefs

574
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: on three? Can we just give it one? How about

575
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: those cheese on a nice moment there? And then Travis Kelsey,

576
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: who I'm sure he's going to enjoy Super Bowl Week.

577
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,239
Speaker 1: He got his chance on the podium. I'll learn one.

578
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: I'm here. You gotta fight. I feel like Travis Kelsey

579
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 1: is your nightmare. Mark. No, it's I you know. I

580
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: actually once interviewed his mom for a Mother's Day piece

581
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: and she basically said that the two well, I guess,

582
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: I mean it was I think like eight people read it.

583
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: But the two Kelsey brothers are so competitive. They're so

584
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: competitive that I think that when the brother gets there

585
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: with the Eagles, Travis Kelsey has waited for this moment.

586
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: I mean, do I think that he probably practiced that

587
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: line or had a a short list of two or

588
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: three lines that might work over the mic if they won. Yes,

589
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: I do from White Castle to the Nile. I know

590
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: Greg has a favorite Beastie Boys line, but he might

591
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: not be able to say it on this podcast. Oh

592
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: what I'd stick in the mash withotatus and we're not

593
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: we're not allowed to stay or we're live on the internet.

594
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: I'm trying to I'm trying to assign blame to why

595
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: that just happened. West hewing Greg up and Greg not

596
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: realizing that we're liveing. It feels like a good time

597
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: for Erica to just step in and take hands. Yeah, yeah,

598
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: I think all right, let's let's put the train back

599
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: on the tracks here. Uh yes. And remember this was

600
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: the same Chiefs team Patrick Mahomes led them to twenty

601
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: four points in the fourth quarter against the Pats last year,

602
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: only to get left hung out to dry when the

603
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: defense couldn't get off the field. So this was some

604
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: unfinished business here in the a f C title game.

605
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 1: And um, we talked about this like leading up weeks

606
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: in advance on this that getting Andy Reid to the

607
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: Super Bowl stage, getting the Homes out in front. This

608
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: is such a year where Mahomes kind of took a

609
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: step back as Lamar Jackson rose up. This is now

610
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: Mahomes a stage and the Chief I I think, what

611
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: we have time to talk about who's gonna win the

612
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 1: Super Bowl? But it's just like, this is such a

613
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: gonna be such a great game. But Mahomes is the

614
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: best player on the field on the biggest stage, and

615
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: he's proven that on the biggest stage he gets better.

616
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 1: How do you pick against that guy? I'm gonna struggle

617
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: to I thought it was a great example of complimentary

618
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: football and how an offense helps a defense. I thought

619
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: that Titans would push the Chiefs around, and it didn't

620
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: really happen to a few plays early where Henry was

621
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: going for eight or ten yards a pop. But the

622
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: way that Chief's offense helped turn the Titans offense one

623
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: dimensional in the second and third quarters. And then the

624
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: Chiefs defense with Honey Badger and Sorenson bringing hard hits,

625
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: Frank Clark backing up his talk, Chris Jones playing better

626
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: than we thought he would with the injury, the Chiefs

627
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 1: defense turned the Titans one dimensionally to start passing it after.

628
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: I think it are complementary, but it's it's the Chief's

629
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: offense that just saves the Chiefs defense having a no

630
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: show I mean, you give up seventeen points in your

631
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 1: first three drives, that's a disaster. The Titans only had

632
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: the ball seven times today for a full drive, and

633
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: they scored twenty four points. Yeah, I mean this was

634
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: allowed the Chiefs defense to find them right. It's crazy

635
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: because it this was not a great game by the

636
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: Chiefs defense. And you know, you look at the final

637
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: score and it's twenty four points and and it ends

638
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: up being comfortable. And they held Derrick Henry down. I

639
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: mean they were like celebrate every time they got Henry

640
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: on the ground in the first half for a three

641
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 1: or four yard run. They were celebrate like they were

642
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: so happy. But they really weren't playing very effectively. It's

643
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: just amazing. Like when you put up thirty five points,

644
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: that's one thing. When you put up thirty five points

645
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: and eight possessions, it's like it's over. I mean, it's

646
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 1: it's like the Titans wanted to shorten the game. Great,

647
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: you shortened it, and you shortened it so you lost faster.

648
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: And if you had one nugget of information, you know,

649
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 1: through a crystal ball coming into this game, and it

650
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: said that you know, Derrick Henry will be held to

651
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: two yards rushing in the second half, in the final

652
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: thirty minutes, it's over. You know, Titans. Uh, I don't know.

653
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: It's like they had their run. I would look I

654
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: would look at this season, though you can't. I'm saying

655
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: they can't be too disappointed. It's different. It's a little

656
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: different to me. And it's not on a Matt Lafleura.

657
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: I think she look at this season and say, as

658
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 1: a rookie head coach, he did a great job. But

659
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: the Packers, with all that's happened with Aaron Rodgerson, the

660
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: playoff losses accumulating over the years, that's a whole different field.

661
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: Losing this game. If I'm a Titans fan, and it

662
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: depends what they do with some of these free agents

663
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: and stuff. And Mike rabel is your coach, you feel

664
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: good like this you were playing with house money. Feel good,

665
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: But I don't see. I don't buy house money. You're

666
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: up ten nothing, that's fine. Championship game. There's no promises

667
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: that you ever get back to the stage with this nucleus.

668
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: These games are hard to get to. And when you

669
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: have a ten point lead in the second quarter to

670
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: then go from seventeen seven up to thirty five seventeen down.

671
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: That's a bitter pill, especially when we spent a week

672
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: straight talking about, Hey, everyone's between the chief between the

673
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: Titans and Texans is if you fall behind against the Titans,

674
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: it's over because Derrick Henry ends the game. He couldn't

675
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 1: do it this time, and he didn't. They you kept

676
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 1: waiting for him to break that sixty yard run that

677
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 1: he's done week after week. And to the Chiefs credit,

678
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: they're not a perfect defense, but they never let Henry

679
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 1: dictate the flow of the game, and that was a

680
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 1: big part. I would just say this though, I mean,

681
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 1: I hear, I hear you. You don't want to lose.

682
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 1: I'm not saying Titans fans are, you know, out at

683
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 1: the bars dancing up and down the streets right now.

684
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 1: But you don't want You don't sit around thinking that

685
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: the better team lost. It's pretty clear you lost to

686
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: a superior team. And to talk about taking steps in

687
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: one season, they took as big a step as any

688
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: team in the league outside of the Niners. They do

689
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 1: have huge questions in the offseason. Tannehill, Derrick Henry, and

690
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 1: Jack Conklin are all free agents. Those might be the

691
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: three best players on their offense along with A. J. Brown.

692
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: Here's some idea the right Conklin might be the easiest

693
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: guy to say, I don't know, Henry. Henry feels like

694
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,839
Speaker 1: a guy get tagged. I'm saying, just get get get

695
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 1: the tag because it'll be complicated to figure out anything else. Tannehill,

696
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: you would think they're gonna sign him long term. I

697
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: don't think today was Tannehill's best game. Certainly not on him,

698
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: but I don't think it was one of his best.

699
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 1: It made me question his ability in cold weather. He

700
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 1: throw those back to background balls in the middle of

701
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: the game and it's like, what where is your grip

702
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: on the football right now? I can I can already

703
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: see a billion thing pieces about buyer beware Ryan Tannehill

704
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: contract as quarterback. Articles is unfair, though I'm not saying

705
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:31,240
Speaker 1: it's unfair. It's just so hyper predictable. It's hyper predictable.

706
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,800
Speaker 1: It is. It is tough to like, I, you know,

707
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: we're we're doing these free agent rankings. It will get

708
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 1: into this stuff, but it is tricky to figure out, Okay,

709
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 1: him versus a guy that you've seen and do it.

710
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: But his way up there in years like Philip Rivers

711
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,799
Speaker 1: or whatever. It was a ten game sample. He's worth

712
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 1: more to the Titans than anyone else. They should bring

713
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,399
Speaker 1: him back, and I really think that they will. Well,

714
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 1: you forget because of what happened in the final three quarters.

715
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,399
Speaker 1: But in the first quarter, you saw that he had

716
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: time to throw in huge open windows whenever they did

717
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: play action. It's really hard to evaluate quarterbacks in play

718
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: action offenses because the windows are bigger. He also took

719
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 1: that Streds and hit, and I'm not sure that he

720
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,839
Speaker 1: was right after that, I think he was right, Oh

721
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 1: my goodness. And then they came back from break and

722
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: he was he was changed. He was holding his tablet

723
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: and changing it with his nose because his hands were

724
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 1: so cold. He had the gloves on, uh, leading to

725
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 1: a Romo joke that he thought that might be connected

726
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: to the headshot he just took. Which Tony, Tony working

727
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: a little blue and broadcasting terms in the NFL. Hey,

728
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: it's it's going around these days. I guess I did

729
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: really enjoy Tyrone Matthew on the podium at the end

730
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 1: of the game and kind of the journey he's been on,

731
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,320
Speaker 1: but especially his play today. I mean, he had that

732
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 1: open field tackle early that that really stuck out on

733
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: A J. Brown. But he had the big tackle for

734
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 1: loss on a pass play that he ends up tweeting

735
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,479
Speaker 1: about after the game. That was the exact same play

736
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: that the Patriots ran against them uh for almost a

737
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: touchdown UH back in like week twelve, and he said,

738
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 1: I knew they were gonna run that same because because

739
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:02,919
Speaker 1: I fell for it last time. And he's the type

740
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,360
Speaker 1: of guy who it seems like he knows what the

741
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: other team is going to do before they do it.

742
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 1: And he has been an incredible free agent syna mean,

743
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 1: maybe their best defensive player at least on the field today.

744
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: West didn't feel in the newsroom early on that this

745
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:21,479
Speaker 1: wasn't Chiefs verse Titans. It was more a Mark versus

746
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: Greg scenario with a lock the lockoff title on theline.

747
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 1: Greg needs a win to clinch. And the tension in

748
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: the room when I got in right around kickoff and

749
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: you could feel it when you said break down, the

750
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 1: percentage of where the tension was coming from giving an

751
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 1: honest answer didn't seem to be right. It was. It

752
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,760
Speaker 1: was mostly it was a very intense Mark, more intense

753
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: than usual. But then, um, Greg, you you could. I

754
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 1: could feel that you felt that energy coming off Mark situation,

755
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 1: to the point where when Marc goes upstairs to do

756
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:55,879
Speaker 1: a sky hit, you start making some positive comments about

757
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, like I gotta get these in before Mark

758
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: comes back downstairs. That was the type of I didn't

759
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: want it to be a brown situation where I couldn't

760
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 1: root on the Chiefs for fear of for fear of

761
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 1: I don't feel like I was that menacine, but I

762
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: I was. You know, there was just intensitive trade your

763
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 1: chief your Titans fandom as if it was, you know,

764
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 1: a well spring. It came from this natural place. It

765
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 1: came from the fact that the only thing I know

766
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: you to be competitive in is the locks that you

767
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:26,359
Speaker 1: really wanted well and I, by the way, congratulations did

768
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 1: a great job and you've wanted outright at this point. Here,

769
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 1: here's your prize, Greg. You have to be take part

770
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,240
Speaker 1: in this next season and defend your title. Now there's

771
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 1: there's a rule. You know, whoever wins can make up

772
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,800
Speaker 1: the rules. And then when did that bec it's not

773
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 1: a rule? Smart moved by Dan though, to lock up

774
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 1: the forty niners and sneak into second place. I like

775
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 1: to find your face on a milk carton. If you

776
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: take this contest away from us, that was a death threat, folks. Uh,

777
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 1: pretty amazing that the Chiefs went fifty years without a

778
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: Super Bowl appearance. Uh. That they've had some very good

779
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: teams over the decades. It has some great teams other decades,

780
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 1: and you just it's kind of amazing that it never

781
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 1: all came together until two thousand twenty. You know what's

782
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 1: been missing though, Like the B line is, this was

783
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: the team that didn't draft a first round quarterback, didn't

784
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 1: pursue developing quarterbacks. They never had the guy. And like

785
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: I Andy Reid kind of quietly must be kicking himself

786
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: for settling. And Alex Smith is a good quarterback and

787
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 1: statistically viable and all this stuff. But Patrick Mahomes, he

788
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 1: could have had five Super Bowls if he had a

789
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 1: guy like this tenure. I mean, Bartlett and his fellow

790
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 1: Chiefs fans have earned this moment, no don't. I mean,

791
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 1: they lost seven straight playoff games over twenty years. And

792
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,799
Speaker 1: then in the Andy Reid era, even which has had

793
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 1: a lot of hope, you've had five straight years where

794
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: you've watched them five straight but you've seen five playoff losses.

795
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 1: He put the headset on Bartlett. Second here, Yeah, we

796
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:54,399
Speaker 1: got right of here after after all these and he's

797
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: a Jet Chiefs fan. He's been the producer of the

798
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 1: video show all season. He's done a great job. Bartlett.

799
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 1: We talked about on last Sunday show that if the

800
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 1: Chiefs win, you will run nude through downtown Culver City.

801
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 1: You'll go past our office, past the sad old age

802
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 1: home where the ambulances are always outside, past seven eleven one,

803
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 1: past the gun shop past seven eleven two, and then

804
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:19,840
Speaker 1: get to the d m V and come back. And

805
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 1: sure enough, Fricky Hollywood has the video footage up after

806
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: the game nude Bartlett. The people then hr Nightmare producers

807
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 1: never stopped throwing it to himself. And if you want,

808
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 1: you gotta watch the YouTube show for this very reason.

809
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: But we're never putting in the YouTube backup back there.

810
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,879
Speaker 1: Varlet's bringing some text to the house. Varlett's working hard

811
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:46,399
Speaker 1: on that body, so he wasn't a sham to show

812
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 1: it off. A congratulations Ryan, Oh this is great. I

813
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 1: don't I didn't know how to act so much. First uh,

814
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: first thing was just take off my clothes and start

815
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: running around the block. So what was the reaction to

816
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 1: the people outside the gun store because there were some

817
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,839
Speaker 1: people out there was like a group gup of gun

818
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 1: store enthusiasts outside. Yeah. Well, my first when when I

819
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 1: ran by them the first time, not a big deal.

820
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 1: But then when I turned around, I saw them all,

821
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:11,320
Speaker 1: uh start to make some funny faces at me. And

822
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 1: I didn't know if they were going to come closer

823
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,359
Speaker 1: step away, but maybe not your people. I mean I noticed.

824
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:18,240
Speaker 1: I thought that you, you know, if you were especially

825
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: striking without clothing, I couldn't get a full view there

826
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,399
Speaker 1: that you know, you'd see cars veering off the side

827
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 1: of the road, but they sort of just kept dingy.

828
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,360
Speaker 1: Any issues now, I mean that that's hardly anything special

829
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 1: for this neighborhood. I mean stuff like that goes on

830
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 1: around and it's all the time. And Erica, why were

831
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 1: you laughing so hard as Bartlett ran by you? Another

832
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 1: fair question? Have you ever seen someone run down the

833
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: street naked towards you? How could you not laugh so hard?

834
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:44,800
Speaker 1: I couldn't. I could not stop. It was so funny.

835
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 1: Now here's the disgrace of it all. Bartlett, who has

836
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 1: been a loyal NFL media employee for years, has gone

837
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 1: to the past five Super Bowls. This year he's not

838
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:57,359
Speaker 1: getting sent by by the league, and now the Chiefs

839
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 1: are in the Super Bowl. You gotta get this. West

840
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 1: started a hashtag get Bartlett to Miami. I think we

841
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 1: got a gricky star Ricky Starry we got it doesn't matter.

842
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 1: We all gotta started. I think we gotta do something

843
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 1: about this. We gotta get him to Miami. Maybe we can,

844
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 1: maybe we can start something. Maybe we all chip in

845
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:12,840
Speaker 1: a little bit. Maybe listeners help about I think it

846
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: is more than Yeah, this is more. This is more

847
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 1: than money. This is logistics. This is him producing your

848
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:23,919
Speaker 1: Sunday night Super Bowl show from some other produce. That's

849
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 1: that's my that we're working behind the scenes. Westward, some

850
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 1: other brownie suggesting that you also are one that you

851
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 1: know what, Barlett, that is a logistical hurdle. I want

852
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,839
Speaker 1: you to get comfortable here. You're not going anywhere. Let's

853
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: try to get Barlett to Miami. It's gotta be somebody

854
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:39,800
Speaker 1: else that can help out right, I mean, we know

855
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: perhaps your boss could be helpful on this. Yeah, should

856
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 1: we Mark Brady? Should we get Mark Brady on the

857
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 1: phone on some point this week of sneak attack. I

858
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 1: think I think that's necessary. Any other thoughts on this game, gentlemen.

859
00:42:54,239 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 1: Congratulations Barlett, that's awesome. Nineteen sixty nine season, fifty years

860
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:05,840
Speaker 1: You guys want to do some winners and losers of

861
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 1: Championship Sunday? Yeah, all right, I'll start. You mentioned him, Greg,

862
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 1: remember the name Dre Greenlaw Decleating Jacob Hollister in week seventeen?

863
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 1: Maybe changed everything? Uh if are they at the big

864
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 1: bell bottom playing in in this case? But they still

865
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 1: have one? Maybe maybe this is not just seem is

866
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 1: so good? They could have went on the road, but

867
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: there's no doubting that the way things shook out by

868
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 1: getting uh that win in week seventeen, big winner in

869
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 1: addition to making place throughout the playoffs as well. That

870
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 1: is a nice young player. That's a winner from me.

871
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:42,800
Speaker 1: What do you guys got? I got one for you.

872
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 1: How about the legacy of the Shanahans and I you know,

873
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 1: the Shanahans have their detractors over the years. There was

874
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 1: a time period where people looked at Kyle Shanahan is

875
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 1: a bit of a nuisance and someone that behind the

876
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 1: scenes caused problems and it was hard to contain inside

877
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:02,359
Speaker 1: of an organization, and well maybe Mike Petton. Sources said that, well,

878
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:04,840
Speaker 1: this is even previous to Mike Petton. I'm thinking, you know,

879
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 1: end of Redskins era and things like that, right, but

880
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 1: hundred year of the NFL, you could be weeks away

881
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 1: from having the first ever father son duo to have

882
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,359
Speaker 1: Super Bowl titles. And you know, I think we could

883
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:19,799
Speaker 1: go another hundred years before that happens again. So you're

884
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 1: you're getting Mike Shanahan up on the stage today handing

885
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 1: out trophies. It's like, we're gonna get two weeks of

886
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:28,360
Speaker 1: Mike Shanahan's celebration in praise and radio and TV spots.

887
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 1: So it's a good week for the t be a

888
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 1: Shanahan while you're here, because I had him under Winners

889
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 1: as well. Mike Shanahan's black leather dad jacket. Yeah, you

890
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 1: know when the when you're the when your dad he

891
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 1: hit forty fifty, you know, towards sixty, that black leather jacket.

892
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:45,360
Speaker 1: It's like the last bastion of cool outerwear that you

893
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:47,479
Speaker 1: can kind of wear and not feel self conscious about

894
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 1: because it kind of is it spans the decades in

895
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 1: terms of what's acceptable to wear, and I thought he

896
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 1: was rocking the hell out of it. To be quite

897
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:56,400
Speaker 1: honest with you, I lived in Denver when they were

898
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:59,320
Speaker 1: winning those always late Lway career Super Bowls, and he

899
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 1: was involved with probably Mike Shanahan twenty ad campaigns. It

900
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 1: was it was a little bit too much. But we're

901
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 1: heading right back into that world here are we. I

902
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, suddenly he's selling leather coats in

903
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:15,319
Speaker 1: your world, You're gonna go buy one of these? Uh sure,

904
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna give it up for the football gods

905
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 1: just in general, like the things they set in motion

906
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 1: for this to happen. How about the Jets winning in

907
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:26,320
Speaker 1: Week seventeen last year to give Nick Bosa to the

908
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 1: forty Niners. I mean that that changed a lot for

909
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 1: the forty. How about the Patriots losing in Week seventeen

910
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:37,720
Speaker 1: to set up this nice little role for the Chiefs

911
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 1: having to home games against the Texans and the Titans.

912
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 1: I mean, that is not not the roughest road that

913
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 1: they could have had. Having going to Baltimore would have

914
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: been a lot tougher. Uh. San Francisco, Like you mentioned,

915
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 1: in in that week seventeen game like that, the route

916
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:55,720
Speaker 1: that they ended up having to take was kind of perfect.

917
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 1: This has been the I think the weakest NFC in

918
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:01,399
Speaker 1: a while, which is which is only because the NFC

919
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 1: has been so good year after year. The fact that

920
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 1: you could make a Super Bowl beating these Vikings and

921
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,399
Speaker 1: Packers team, I mean, that's about as good a road

922
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 1: as it had and I think it's perfect because you're

923
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:15,320
Speaker 1: getting two unbelievable teams into the Super Bowl. Do you

924
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:20,720
Speaker 1: want to win her? Let's say officionados of play callers

925
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 1: and tight ends without a doubt, the two top tight

926
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 1: ends in the NFL and George Kittle and Travis Kelsey,

927
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:28,840
Speaker 1: and in my opinion, the top two play callers in

928
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 1: the NFL. Andy Reid is credited with bringing in a

929
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:33,799
Speaker 1: lot of the Jets sweeps from college football that we've

930
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: seen over the last half decade. And nobody runs more

931
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 1: motion before the snap than Kyle Shan And I believe

932
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:42,360
Speaker 1: it's like seventy nine percent of time he's running some

933
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:45,840
Speaker 1: kind of motion before the snap. I think Kyle creates

934
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 1: more easy plays for his offense than anybody in the NFL. Right,

935
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 1: and he's that's the thing about Cash and it took

936
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 1: him forever. He was an assistant for so long. But

937
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 1: pretty much every single offense he's ever coached, going back

938
00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 1: to his Texans offense is like almost fifteen years ago.

939
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 1: They all were good, like they always had a big

940
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:08,720
Speaker 1: time advantage. Um, I have a winner. The general manager

941
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 1: on the sideline after a huge playoff win, in a

942
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 1: glory boy moment, beaming cameras on him. He knows the

943
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:17,320
Speaker 1: cameras on and he's got all his boys and his

944
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:21,279
Speaker 1: handlers and his assistance. They're all glad handing and big

945
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 1: grins for everybody. That's a nice moment when you get

946
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: down to the field in a stage like this, I'll

947
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 1: go out and throw out another winner. How about Rob

948
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 1: Blow in a big spot? And some people are gonna

949
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 1: put him on on the loser list because they say,

950
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:36,280
Speaker 1: why are you wearing an NFL cap when they flash

951
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 1: to him in the crowd during the NFC title game.

952
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 1: And let me tell you something about Rob Blow. First

953
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:44,960
Speaker 1: of all guys, is mid fifties, still looks great, just

954
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:47,239
Speaker 1: taking care of himself. Good good job for Rob Blow.

955
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 1: Here's the other thing, robol He's been famous for forty years.

956
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:53,319
Speaker 1: He knows what he's doing when he's wearing that hat.

957
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:55,359
Speaker 1: It's like when I used to cover the Super Bowl

958
00:47:55,440 --> 00:48:01,000
Speaker 1: halftime shows, and inevitably somebody would ask the warmer, who

959
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:02,839
Speaker 1: are you rooting for? On Sunday? That always go, I'm

960
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:05,279
Speaker 1: not rooting for anybody. I want both teams to do well.

961
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:07,840
Speaker 1: That's because you don't want to cut out any anybody

962
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 1: that would potentially watch your dope new show on Fox

963
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 1: that Rob Blows. Um, you know, so good for Rob Blow.

964
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 1: The guy's been relevant for forty damn years, So don't

965
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 1: get on him about the NFL hat. I thought he'll look.

966
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you're compromised here as one of the seventeen

967
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 1: readers of his biography. That's damn right. Then. This is

968
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 1: coming from the guy who read roblows two thousand eleven

00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 1: Flash up that book again. Let's see that. Look at

988
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:36,920

Speaker 1: best seller New York Times best seller Take it all back.

990
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:43,279
Speaker 1: I see you read a best seller. It's got a

991
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:46,879
Speaker 1: gold sticker. That means something with a new introduction. Let's

992
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:49,399
Speaker 1: let's see. Let's see you look more like a sports fan.

993
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:51,799
Speaker 1: If you're gonna go to a sporting event, I would

994
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:54,279
Speaker 1: wear an NFL hat over a certain team. Well, the

995
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:56,800
Speaker 1: only people that that we're mostly caring about the NFL

996
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 1: hat thing. We're sports right, just sports reporters on that

997
00:49:59,880 --> 00:50:03,719
Speaker 1: a every sports fan watching that made I mean, but

998
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 1: Dan's point is, have you ever seen anyone wearing the easiest.

999
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:09,520
Speaker 1: I don't have a huge problem with the hat because

1000
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 1: it's right. You're just gonna take it out on this

1001
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 1: guy who looks thirty years younger than his age. And

1002
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:15,600
Speaker 1: by the way, Dan, if you're going to spend twenty minutes,

1003
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 1: I mean. He also makeup called The Gray Show. The

1004
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:21,440
Speaker 1: show is nine one one and it aired right after that.

1005
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 1: I think Rob has made a lot of good career choices,

1006
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 1: but sometimes it's just about getting that guap, getting the

1007
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 1: cheddar and roblow doing this dope show. Your choices. Your

1008
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 1: choices become more limited as you get older. And speaking

1009
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:37,280
Speaker 1: of hats and losers, Kyle Shanahan in the UH post

1010
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:41,359
Speaker 1: game on the Platform, Terry Bradshaw pulled together bro Um.

1011
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 1: He takes off the flat brim, the famous flat rim

1012
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:47,399
Speaker 1: to put on those NFC Championship winner hats. Never take

1013
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 1: off the flat brim, leave the flap rid hat on.

1014
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:52,879
Speaker 1: That is your good luck charm. So I'm a little

1015
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:55,680
Speaker 1: worried about the Niners for that reason. You take off

1016
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:59,160
Speaker 1: the flat brim you put on the swag and maybe

1017
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 1: you sold yourself to the devil. I've got I've got

1018
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:05,319
Speaker 1: a loser. The the the folks that want to pay

1019
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry a lot of money or the running backs matter,

1020
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:10,279
Speaker 1: Folks like like, you can still do it if you've

1021
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 1: got the right running back. In two thousand and twenty,

1022
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:15,840
Speaker 1: the starting running backs in the NFL, uh in the

1023
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl are gonna be Raheem Mostert and

1024
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:22,279
Speaker 1: Damian Williams, both undrafted on their like fourth teav and

1025
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:25,360
Speaker 1: you know what's a you know it's great. Irony Levan

1026
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:27,920
Speaker 1: bell a year ago saying I'm doing this for all

1027
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:29,839
Speaker 1: the running backs. I'm holding out and getting a big

1028
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 1: deal to save all the other future running backs. He's

1029
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:35,400
Speaker 1: ending up part of the reason why teams are afraid

1030
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 1: to give running backs money because the Jets gave him

1031
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 1: ton of doll and he flopped and he went bowling.

1032
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 1: You don't what you want? The guy committed, so you

1033
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:44,840
Speaker 1: had a great season on the bowling alley. I was

1034
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 1: gonna say, what a year? How about winner? Uh, Sammy Watkins?

1035
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 1: I mean this guy is Mr Mr a f C championship.

1036
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 1: Has a season high hundred and fourteen yards against the

1037
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:57,680
Speaker 1: Patriots in the a f C Championship Game a year

1038
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:00,120
Speaker 1: ago and goes for one fourteen again it didn't. That's

1039
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:02,400
Speaker 1: fine with it. Time. He's awesome once every three months,

1040
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:07,400
Speaker 1: So keep paying him. Is he a free agent? Is he?

1041
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:09,759
Speaker 1: Is he gonna get another during the third year of

1042
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 1: his He will not be a monster deal. Only a

1043
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:14,879
Speaker 1: team based on psychotics would pay him a monster deal.

1044
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 1: At this point, I mentioned Terry Bratcher. I got him

1045
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:18,680
Speaker 1: as a loser. Here. How many times you're gonna bring

1046
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 1: up that you threw eleven or twelve passes in a game? Uh,

1047
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:24,239
Speaker 1: when you're trying to do this interview on the platform

1048
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:26,400
Speaker 1: after the NFC title game, and then you have George

1049
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:28,719
Speaker 1: Kittle there, one of the most charismatic young players in

1050
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:30,719
Speaker 1: the league. He's right next to you, and then you

1051
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:33,200
Speaker 1: just send him, say take this trophy and go slap hands.

1052
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:37,120
Speaker 1: You ask Kittle a question, save the segment. I mean,

1053
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:39,319
Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, you're you're in the category of people

1054
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 1: that didn't need to hear another two minute narrative about

1055
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:46,440
Speaker 1: the nineteen seventy eight Steelers. So I mean, I just

1056
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:49,520
Speaker 1: if you base it a loan on the post game Uh,

1057
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:52,200
Speaker 1: for both teams. I feel like the Chiefs are the

1058
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 1: beat you want to be on, and the Niners it's

1059
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:56,360
Speaker 1: gonna be a little dry unless you can get locked

1060
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 1: in with Kittle, who's a lot of fun. But we'll

1061
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:01,319
Speaker 1: see you'll be on that beat. Mark one of those right,

1062
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:07,400
Speaker 1: negative Miami, what will? I will be tracking things like

1063
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:15,279
Speaker 1: a professional, but at my at my discretion. Good gig

1064
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 1: if you can get it. Uh, you got anything else loser?

1065
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:22,040
Speaker 1: Anyone like me who climbed up on a soapbox after

1066
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:24,840
Speaker 1: that Rams Chief shootout last year and looked at the

1067
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:28,760
Speaker 1: landscape of football and said, hey, defense and running games

1068
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:31,880
Speaker 1: are done. It's all aerial attacks. It's all gonna be

1069
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:35,839
Speaker 1: fifty eight every week. Uh. You know, running backs are

1070
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 1: going the way of the Dodo bird in the fullback

1071
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 1: defense is. Linebackers are out now, you know football is

1072
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:45,719
Speaker 1: The forty Niners ran as as much as anybody in

1073
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:48,279
Speaker 1: the playoffs these last two games that Titans ran their

1074
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:50,719
Speaker 1: way into the a f C title game. There are

1075
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 1: still many different ways to win in football. Were far

1076
00:53:53,719 --> 00:54:00,279
Speaker 1: from alone. That was a that was a football cognacenty wide,

1077
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:02,840
Speaker 1: dirt nap crowded soapbox. I don't even know what a

1078
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:04,759
Speaker 1: soapbox is. I was tell us what I was thinking.

1079
00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:08,480
Speaker 1: You say that, and you're and you're absolutely right, especially

1080
00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 1: when you have Kyle Shanni and calling your plays. It's like, yeah,

1081
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 1: if you can run for seven yards per carry, yeah,

1082
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,239
Speaker 1: running is pretty great. I don't know, this might be

1083
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 1: a forty four to thirty or forty one Super Bowl.

1084
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:19,839
Speaker 1: I mean I could I could see that because as

1085
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:22,719
Speaker 1: as great as the forty Niners, the best defense in

1086
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:25,359
Speaker 1: the NFL is the forty nine ers. They can give

1087
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 1: up three straight touchdowns like that. They did. They've done

1088
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 1: it against the Seahawks a few weeks ago, they did

1089
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:32,480
Speaker 1: it today. It's like even the great defenses have trouble

1090
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:34,440
Speaker 1: slowing down grade off. I mean a year ago, no

1091
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:36,439
Speaker 1: one was saying the Rams were gonna score three points.

1092
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:39,560
Speaker 1: So I I would just say that losers would be

1093
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:41,760
Speaker 1: anyone that tell us over the next two weeks exactly

1094
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:43,640
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. We've all learned, the four of us,

1095
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 1: we don't know at all what will happen. It is

1096
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:48,960
Speaker 1: a complete mystery. Good thing is only two weeks of

1097
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:53,920
Speaker 1: build up for a single game, So what could go wrong? Okay, alright,
