1 00:00:04,428 --> 00:00:06,668 Speaker 1: Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in 2 00:00:06,748 --> 00:00:21,548 Speaker 1: partnership with iHeartRadio. 3 00:00:21,988 --> 00:00:25,868 Speaker 2: Welcome to Good Morning Football, presented by Old Trapper, That's 4 00:00:25,988 --> 00:00:31,468 Speaker 2: right GMFB on a very special Thursday, Busy Thursday, honestly, MANSI, Mike, g, Kyle, 5 00:00:31,588 --> 00:00:34,108 Speaker 2: and Jamie got to look at ram Seahawks. They split 6 00:00:34,148 --> 00:00:37,508 Speaker 2: the regular season matchups in a pair of wild endings. 7 00:00:37,548 --> 00:00:40,548 Speaker 2: In week eleven, the Seahawks Let's review missed a game 8 00:00:40,588 --> 00:00:43,148 Speaker 2: winning field goal as time expired. 9 00:00:43,788 --> 00:00:44,908 Speaker 3: Then in Week. 10 00:00:44,708 --> 00:00:47,828 Speaker 2: Sixteen, the Seahawks are the one who came out victorious 11 00:00:47,828 --> 00:00:50,708 Speaker 2: with an overtime comeback win takes to a Sam Donald 12 00:00:50,708 --> 00:00:53,068 Speaker 2: pass that was batted down but then picked up in 13 00:00:53,068 --> 00:00:55,548 Speaker 2: the end zone later, which it really kind of stuck 14 00:00:55,588 --> 00:00:58,908 Speaker 2: the coaching point of like always finished a play. It 15 00:00:58,908 --> 00:01:01,388 Speaker 2: was ruled a lateral which gave them a two point conversion. 16 00:01:01,588 --> 00:01:04,468 Speaker 2: Seahawks head coach Mike McDonald, friend of the show, Oh, 17 00:01:04,548 --> 00:01:06,308 Speaker 2: I at least what we're gonna say, So those two 18 00:01:06,348 --> 00:01:08,548 Speaker 2: matchups helped show his team how good they. 19 00:01:08,388 --> 00:01:09,028 Speaker 3: Really could be. 20 00:01:10,468 --> 00:01:14,988 Speaker 4: I think that game was a game where we really 21 00:01:15,068 --> 00:01:16,868 Speaker 4: came into focus about what type of team we could be, 22 00:01:17,188 --> 00:01:19,188 Speaker 4: you know, and that we had we have a special 23 00:01:19,188 --> 00:01:22,668 Speaker 4: group that was resilient as heck and had each other's backs, 24 00:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,228 Speaker 4: and we're going to stick up for each other and 25 00:01:25,628 --> 00:01:28,388 Speaker 4: fight like heck for sixteen minutes and really becoming the 26 00:01:28,428 --> 00:01:30,148 Speaker 4: team that we wanted to be. We started to have 27 00:01:30,188 --> 00:01:32,188 Speaker 4: some some real evidence of it, even though it wasn't 28 00:01:32,228 --> 00:01:35,548 Speaker 4: really the outcome that we wanted. So I'm kind of 29 00:01:35,588 --> 00:01:37,388 Speaker 4: glad that it happened. You know, You're kind of you know, 30 00:01:37,428 --> 00:01:40,788 Speaker 4: it's stunk in the moment, but given where we're at now, 31 00:01:40,868 --> 00:01:43,148 Speaker 4: like that was that was an important part of our 32 00:01:43,188 --> 00:01:44,748 Speaker 4: season that I felt like something maybe we had to 33 00:01:44,788 --> 00:01:46,268 Speaker 4: go through to get to the point where right now. 34 00:01:47,068 --> 00:01:49,468 Speaker 5: I mean, I was just expecting this to happen this way. 35 00:01:49,868 --> 00:01:51,668 Speaker 5: I think it's interesting that the only two teams we 36 00:01:51,708 --> 00:01:54,708 Speaker 5: played and feels like over a month is Niners in 37 00:01:54,748 --> 00:01:57,748 Speaker 5: the Rams. But I mean, I think it's a testament 38 00:01:57,788 --> 00:01:59,868 Speaker 5: to how good this division has been this year. 39 00:02:02,908 --> 00:02:03,828 Speaker 3: We're trying to figure. 40 00:02:03,588 --> 00:02:07,188 Speaker 2: Out what Leonard william shirt means mob Ties coming in, but. 41 00:02:07,268 --> 00:02:10,708 Speaker 3: It's an acronym because that right mob then Seahawks. 42 00:02:10,788 --> 00:02:12,748 Speaker 2: Let us know what that shirt means for that defense, 43 00:02:12,748 --> 00:02:15,148 Speaker 2: because obviously if he's wearing that ahead of an NFC 44 00:02:15,228 --> 00:02:15,828 Speaker 2: Title Game. 45 00:02:16,028 --> 00:02:17,588 Speaker 3: It's got to mean something for this defense. 46 00:02:17,628 --> 00:02:20,228 Speaker 2: Mike Grofolo, what do you think will ultimately decide this 47 00:02:20,348 --> 00:02:22,908 Speaker 2: NFC Title game, knowing what we know about how the 48 00:02:22,948 --> 00:02:26,068 Speaker 2: games finished up in the regular season, Jamie. 49 00:02:26,108 --> 00:02:27,188 Speaker 6: To give you the answer to this, we got to 50 00:02:27,188 --> 00:02:28,828 Speaker 6: go all the way back to training camp. Inside training 51 00:02:28,828 --> 00:02:31,988 Speaker 6: camp coverage on NFL Network, tune in every July through 52 00:02:31,988 --> 00:02:33,228 Speaker 6: the early part of August. 53 00:02:33,508 --> 00:02:34,588 Speaker 7: We sit there at practice. 54 00:02:34,628 --> 00:02:37,988 Speaker 6: We go there for offensive line one on ones, we 55 00:02:38,028 --> 00:02:40,788 Speaker 6: go there for d backs against wide receiver one on ones. 56 00:02:40,788 --> 00:02:43,228 Speaker 6: That's exciting stuff, seven on seven, a lot of passing, 57 00:02:43,268 --> 00:02:45,308 Speaker 6: all this suff and then there's that point of practice 58 00:02:45,308 --> 00:02:48,268 Speaker 6: where if you're a bystander maybe it's a little bit boring. 59 00:02:48,348 --> 00:02:52,708 Speaker 6: It's called the four minute offense portion of practice. That 60 00:02:52,868 --> 00:02:55,988 Speaker 6: is what coaches though man Tie's laughing because he. 61 00:02:55,988 --> 00:02:59,908 Speaker 7: Knows coaches love four minute offense. That's where you separate 62 00:02:59,948 --> 00:03:02,348 Speaker 7: the men from the boys. Not in the Oklahoma drill, Kyle. 63 00:03:02,628 --> 00:03:06,668 Speaker 6: In the four minute offense, you've got the football, you're up. 64 00:03:06,908 --> 00:03:08,388 Speaker 7: There's about four minutes left. 65 00:03:08,388 --> 00:03:10,188 Speaker 6: That can be earlier or later in the fourth quarter, 66 00:03:10,228 --> 00:03:13,748 Speaker 6: but it's about keeping the football, getting first downs, burning clock. 67 00:03:14,228 --> 00:03:16,908 Speaker 6: The Rams have not done that this season. Let's go 68 00:03:16,988 --> 00:03:18,468 Speaker 6: back to their first game. They're up twenty one to 69 00:03:18,468 --> 00:03:20,388 Speaker 6: twelve with fourteen to fifteen. 70 00:03:19,988 --> 00:03:22,988 Speaker 7: Left, three and out, get the ball back. 71 00:03:23,068 --> 00:03:26,268 Speaker 6: Couple drives later, three and out, get the ball back again, 72 00:03:26,708 --> 00:03:29,028 Speaker 6: eighteen yard rush, the poop in the cool Okay, now 73 00:03:29,028 --> 00:03:31,588 Speaker 6: we're cooking, followed by a three and out. After that 74 00:03:31,628 --> 00:03:34,228 Speaker 6: in a punt and it's sixty one yard field goal 75 00:03:34,308 --> 00:03:37,108 Speaker 6: by the Seahawks that could have potentially won the game. 76 00:03:37,148 --> 00:03:38,988 Speaker 7: It did not. The Rams come away with the victory. 77 00:03:39,268 --> 00:03:40,868 Speaker 7: Now flash forward to. 78 00:03:40,788 --> 00:03:42,628 Speaker 6: That Thursday night game that we love so much late 79 00:03:42,668 --> 00:03:44,388 Speaker 6: in the season. The Rams are up thirty to fourteen 80 00:03:44,428 --> 00:03:46,108 Speaker 6: with thirteen thirty four left. 81 00:03:45,948 --> 00:03:50,948 Speaker 7: In the game, a fourth down stop, a. 82 00:03:50,988 --> 00:03:52,908 Speaker 6: Three and out after that because they had gotten the 83 00:03:52,908 --> 00:03:55,188 Speaker 6: fourth down stop by their defense, three out, the punt 84 00:03:55,188 --> 00:03:57,348 Speaker 6: return touchdown by Rashike. 85 00:03:57,028 --> 00:03:57,748 Speaker 7: Eat to the house. 86 00:03:58,028 --> 00:04:00,188 Speaker 6: That's okay, got the ball back eight o three to go, 87 00:04:00,748 --> 00:04:05,668 Speaker 6: another three and out by this Sean McVay, Come on, Sean, I. 88 00:04:05,668 --> 00:04:06,788 Speaker 7: Know this is driving you crazy. 89 00:04:06,828 --> 00:04:08,348 Speaker 6: I know you went back and watch this last. 90 00:04:08,148 --> 00:04:09,748 Speaker 7: Couple week like golly. 91 00:04:10,268 --> 00:04:12,748 Speaker 6: As a coach is an offensive mind or four minute 92 00:04:12,788 --> 00:04:15,108 Speaker 6: offense has been terrible. I believe it's gonna come down 93 00:04:15,108 --> 00:04:16,188 Speaker 6: to four minute offense once again. 94 00:04:16,188 --> 00:04:18,348 Speaker 7: Now crediton the Seahawks. Four minute defense is a thing 95 00:04:18,348 --> 00:04:21,188 Speaker 7: as well. But Kyle, they rams that they get a lead. 96 00:04:21,068 --> 00:04:21,508 Speaker 8: In this one. 97 00:04:22,148 --> 00:04:23,708 Speaker 6: Boy, they have got to close it out better than 98 00:04:23,708 --> 00:04:25,108 Speaker 6: they have in the last two matches. 99 00:04:25,188 --> 00:04:26,828 Speaker 8: Well they do, and they might get a lead. We 100 00:04:26,868 --> 00:04:29,508 Speaker 8: don't know. But if they do, it's going to be 101 00:04:29,548 --> 00:04:31,228 Speaker 8: out to them to close it and it's going to 102 00:04:31,308 --> 00:04:33,308 Speaker 8: be up to I think the biggest key and most 103 00:04:33,708 --> 00:04:36,068 Speaker 8: most interesting part of this game, which is Sam Donald. 104 00:04:36,468 --> 00:04:39,908 Speaker 8: Sam Donald, are you a big time quarterback? I think 105 00:04:39,948 --> 00:04:41,948 Speaker 8: you are. I don't know you are. I keep saying this. 106 00:04:42,028 --> 00:04:43,988 Speaker 8: I don't know if there's anybody who really knows that 107 00:04:44,068 --> 00:04:47,828 Speaker 8: he is. I was curious what some of the conversation 108 00:04:48,028 --> 00:04:50,788 Speaker 8: is around the country right now about Sam Donald because 109 00:04:50,788 --> 00:04:53,228 Speaker 8: it's such an interesting spot where he won last week, 110 00:04:53,548 --> 00:04:55,428 Speaker 8: didn't have to do much. He's a little banged up, 111 00:04:55,468 --> 00:04:57,268 Speaker 8: He's won a lot of games over the last two years. 112 00:04:57,628 --> 00:04:59,708 Speaker 8: So I just was searching around, like to see what 113 00:04:59,748 --> 00:05:02,868 Speaker 8: people are saying. I'm interested. The first headline that comes 114 00:05:02,988 --> 00:05:06,748 Speaker 8: up everything I click on him, big bold letters, stephen 115 00:05:06,788 --> 00:05:09,708 Speaker 8: A has no faith in Sam Donald, I'm like, well, 116 00:05:09,828 --> 00:05:12,468 Speaker 8: there it is. That's where we're at. That's and that's real, 117 00:05:12,748 --> 00:05:15,628 Speaker 8: because I think, never mind steven A, never mind the ESPN. 118 00:05:15,628 --> 00:05:17,068 Speaker 8: I think there's a lot of people who still feel 119 00:05:17,108 --> 00:05:19,308 Speaker 8: that way. Here's here's what I know about Sam Donald. 120 00:05:19,828 --> 00:05:21,748 Speaker 8: I don't think that the Seahawks are going to return 121 00:05:21,788 --> 00:05:23,388 Speaker 8: the opening kick for a touchdown in this game. I 122 00:05:23,428 --> 00:05:26,068 Speaker 8: think it's very, very unlikely that happens. I don't think 123 00:05:26,068 --> 00:05:27,988 Speaker 8: they're going to be up by three scores at halftime. 124 00:05:28,508 --> 00:05:31,148 Speaker 8: And it's not just old cheap stuff with Sam Donald. 125 00:05:31,148 --> 00:05:33,588 Speaker 8: There's a lot of all that stuff of the Jets 126 00:05:33,628 --> 00:05:36,748 Speaker 8: and seen ghosts from however many years ago, even last 127 00:05:36,828 --> 00:05:39,748 Speaker 8: year as a Viking not looking terribly comfortable. It's not 128 00:05:39,828 --> 00:05:42,068 Speaker 8: even that stuff that I'm picking that and I'm not 129 00:05:42,108 --> 00:05:44,828 Speaker 8: bringing that back up to use it. What I'm bringing 130 00:05:44,868 --> 00:05:46,628 Speaker 8: up is that he's played the Rams twice this year. 131 00:05:46,628 --> 00:05:50,548 Speaker 8: He's thrown six interceptions. I mean, that's this year. That 132 00:05:50,628 --> 00:05:52,308 Speaker 8: is not in the Jets. That is not the Vikings 133 00:05:52,388 --> 00:05:55,148 Speaker 8: or Panthers or Niners. That is twenty twenty five slash 134 00:05:55,188 --> 00:05:57,588 Speaker 8: twenty six. Sam Donald, who has made a lot of 135 00:05:57,668 --> 00:06:01,188 Speaker 8: mistakes against the Rams, against these Rams, and this really 136 00:06:01,228 --> 00:06:04,268 Speaker 8: does feel like the final Boss and the Sam Donald conversation. 137 00:06:05,068 --> 00:06:06,708 Speaker 8: And maybe if he wins, they'll be another one in 138 00:06:06,748 --> 00:06:10,268 Speaker 8: the Super Bowl. But it's rubber match, familiar opponent at home, 139 00:06:10,708 --> 00:06:13,548 Speaker 8: great defense. This is right there for Sam Donald to win. 140 00:06:13,948 --> 00:06:16,508 Speaker 8: This is a game you should win for all the 141 00:06:17,108 --> 00:06:19,588 Speaker 8: team that's been putting around you and the experience you have. 142 00:06:19,828 --> 00:06:21,908 Speaker 8: Sam Donald should play well in this game. He knows 143 00:06:21,908 --> 00:06:23,868 Speaker 8: the defense, he knows what they're trying to do, and 144 00:06:23,908 --> 00:06:26,308 Speaker 8: he has everything around him he could possibly need. If 145 00:06:26,348 --> 00:06:28,748 Speaker 8: you come up short and you end the season with 146 00:06:29,308 --> 00:06:32,628 Speaker 8: nine interceptions against the Rams, then it is going to 147 00:06:32,668 --> 00:06:34,628 Speaker 8: be permanent. This is there there well for the rest 148 00:06:34,708 --> 00:06:36,388 Speaker 8: of his life. Sam Donald will be talking about. 149 00:06:36,188 --> 00:06:36,548 Speaker 9: In this way. 150 00:06:36,708 --> 00:06:39,308 Speaker 8: But if he doesn't. If he doesn't, he could really 151 00:06:39,348 --> 00:06:42,188 Speaker 8: really change it and become one of those guys. Such 152 00:06:42,188 --> 00:06:44,508 Speaker 8: a big opportunity, and I just don't know how it'll 153 00:06:44,548 --> 00:06:44,868 Speaker 8: go yet. 154 00:06:44,908 --> 00:06:46,308 Speaker 9: That's the fact that for me, I'm. 155 00:06:46,188 --> 00:06:48,228 Speaker 10: With you on that KB when you said is he 156 00:06:48,268 --> 00:06:50,428 Speaker 10: a big time player? We're not sure yet. What I 157 00:06:50,468 --> 00:06:52,388 Speaker 10: am sure is they have a big time defense. I 158 00:06:52,588 --> 00:06:54,148 Speaker 10: want to go back to what Mike g was talking 159 00:06:54,148 --> 00:06:57,348 Speaker 10: about with four minute offense. Four minute offense is where 160 00:06:57,348 --> 00:06:58,708 Speaker 10: you run the ball a lot. I know you was 161 00:06:58,708 --> 00:07:01,868 Speaker 10: talking about the Rams and their ability to run, but 162 00:07:02,108 --> 00:07:04,908 Speaker 10: protecting Sam Donald is establishing a run game for the 163 00:07:04,908 --> 00:07:05,948 Speaker 10: Seattle Seahawks. 164 00:07:06,108 --> 00:07:07,788 Speaker 9: Now. Since the week. 165 00:07:07,588 --> 00:07:11,428 Speaker 10: Eleven game where he threw for four interceptions, Sam Donald 166 00:07:11,508 --> 00:07:14,708 Speaker 10: is one of the best quarterbacks at play action pass. 167 00:07:14,748 --> 00:07:18,668 Speaker 10: Not only that, but you're talking about an LA Rams 168 00:07:18,708 --> 00:07:20,548 Speaker 10: offense that's explosive, that puts a lot. 169 00:07:20,388 --> 00:07:21,188 Speaker 9: Of points on the board. 170 00:07:21,188 --> 00:07:23,788 Speaker 10: And if you want to keep Matt Stafford off the field, 171 00:07:23,788 --> 00:07:26,108 Speaker 10: they're not giving a lot of opportunities. You give it 172 00:07:26,148 --> 00:07:27,948 Speaker 10: to that man right there, Kenneth Walker, and let him 173 00:07:28,028 --> 00:07:31,828 Speaker 10: run the ball and take take seconds off of the clock. Also, 174 00:07:31,868 --> 00:07:34,268 Speaker 10: I want to mention that the Rams defense in the 175 00:07:34,308 --> 00:07:37,028 Speaker 10: first nine games of the season, rushing yards wise, we're 176 00:07:37,028 --> 00:07:41,428 Speaker 10: giving up about ninety seven yards per game on the ground. 177 00:07:41,868 --> 00:07:44,108 Speaker 10: Since then, the last ten games, they've been giving up 178 00:07:44,108 --> 00:07:46,828 Speaker 10: almost one hundred and thirty. They've given up one hundred 179 00:07:46,828 --> 00:07:50,108 Speaker 10: and twenty yards in nine and six different games in 180 00:07:50,388 --> 00:07:51,708 Speaker 10: the past nine ten weeks. 181 00:07:52,028 --> 00:07:53,748 Speaker 9: That is a lot of yardage when you're going. 182 00:07:53,588 --> 00:07:56,028 Speaker 10: Against the Seattle Seahawks defense that has an identity of 183 00:07:56,108 --> 00:07:58,588 Speaker 10: they have one of the best defenses in the NFL. 184 00:07:59,388 --> 00:08:01,068 Speaker 9: They also have a really strong run game. 185 00:08:01,108 --> 00:08:03,508 Speaker 10: And if you want to protect a quarterback like Sam 186 00:08:03,588 --> 00:08:07,148 Speaker 10: Donald from being in situations that might rattle him or 187 00:08:07,188 --> 00:08:10,348 Speaker 10: put him in the situations that he might throw a 188 00:08:10,828 --> 00:08:13,748 Speaker 10: seventh pick. To kb's point, you give the ball to 189 00:08:13,788 --> 00:08:15,908 Speaker 10: your running back and you let the defense do what 190 00:08:15,948 --> 00:08:18,988 Speaker 10: they do best, and that's get stopsle's get turnovers, and 191 00:08:19,028 --> 00:08:20,988 Speaker 10: you win the ball game that way. So that's how 192 00:08:21,028 --> 00:08:23,388 Speaker 10: I see it playing out. I see them establishing a run. 193 00:08:23,668 --> 00:08:26,988 Speaker 10: I see them leaning heavily on Kenneth Walker, the third 194 00:08:27,308 --> 00:08:29,188 Speaker 10: and that defense that has gotten them to this point. 195 00:08:29,228 --> 00:08:31,228 Speaker 2: Jimmy, you know, I made a joke off the top 196 00:08:31,268 --> 00:08:33,908 Speaker 2: about the NFC North and how we saw Packers Bears 197 00:08:33,908 --> 00:08:35,868 Speaker 2: three point zero on the wildcard weekend, and that was 198 00:08:35,908 --> 00:08:37,628 Speaker 2: really fun. A lot of it had to do with 199 00:08:37,708 --> 00:08:41,348 Speaker 2: some of the coaching storylines surrounding their personalities of the 200 00:08:41,388 --> 00:08:44,388 Speaker 2: head coaches in Green Bay and Chicago. I'd love to 201 00:08:44,468 --> 00:08:47,788 Speaker 2: open that can, honestly between these two coaches, because we 202 00:08:47,908 --> 00:08:50,908 Speaker 2: know so much about what Sean McVay can accomplish. 203 00:08:50,948 --> 00:08:52,548 Speaker 3: We hold him in high regard. 204 00:08:52,908 --> 00:08:55,108 Speaker 2: Many people across the country do who are football fans, 205 00:08:55,508 --> 00:08:58,428 Speaker 2: And frankly, we don't know what Mike McDonald is made 206 00:08:58,428 --> 00:09:00,108 Speaker 2: of down the stretch here in January. 207 00:09:00,148 --> 00:09:03,428 Speaker 3: So Kyle, just spin the wheel here on. 208 00:09:03,388 --> 00:09:07,108 Speaker 2: The head coaching person because I know the difference between 209 00:09:07,308 --> 00:09:09,388 Speaker 2: our opinions and not because. 210 00:09:09,188 --> 00:09:11,228 Speaker 3: We don't think anything of McDonald. We just don't know. 211 00:09:11,428 --> 00:09:14,268 Speaker 2: So when you look at Justin McVeigh McDonald thing going 212 00:09:14,308 --> 00:09:15,748 Speaker 2: on here, what do you make of it? 213 00:09:16,068 --> 00:09:18,508 Speaker 8: Familiarity? You know, I mean, this is this is why 214 00:09:18,548 --> 00:09:21,868 Speaker 8: the divisional opponents in the title game are really really fun. 215 00:09:22,588 --> 00:09:26,548 Speaker 8: Mike McDonald defense, defense, Sean McVay offense, offense. I just 216 00:09:26,588 --> 00:09:29,308 Speaker 8: think like mcvay's in a really interesting spot too, because 217 00:09:29,788 --> 00:09:31,868 Speaker 8: you know, I know he's the shiny object between the two. 218 00:09:32,468 --> 00:09:35,308 Speaker 8: But I mean, is McVeigh going to another Super Bowl again? 219 00:09:35,748 --> 00:09:38,788 Speaker 8: And like, I just think everything's on the table with McVeigh. McVeigh. 220 00:09:38,988 --> 00:09:40,948 Speaker 8: I've said it for years, best coach in the NFL. 221 00:09:40,948 --> 00:09:42,588 Speaker 8: You guys know that. I say it every once a week. 222 00:09:43,628 --> 00:09:45,708 Speaker 8: He's one went away from going to a third Super Bowl, 223 00:09:45,788 --> 00:09:48,228 Speaker 8: potentially winning a second one, and then we're gonna have 224 00:09:48,268 --> 00:09:50,708 Speaker 8: another round mic of these. I don't know Sean McVay 225 00:09:50,788 --> 00:09:53,348 Speaker 8: maybe destined for media, maybe he walks away, maybe does 226 00:09:53,388 --> 00:09:57,188 Speaker 8: the John Mathen thing. There's a lot of potential for him, 227 00:09:57,228 --> 00:09:59,388 Speaker 8: not the least of which is, like I say it 228 00:09:59,428 --> 00:10:01,748 Speaker 8: all the time, but if he wins this game, it's 229 00:10:01,788 --> 00:10:04,948 Speaker 8: time for everyone to start just resolutely saying this is 230 00:10:04,988 --> 00:10:07,308 Speaker 8: our best coach in the NFL, this is our best guy, 231 00:10:07,588 --> 00:10:11,028 Speaker 8: different regimes, different quarterbacks and coordinators. I think McVeigh has 232 00:10:11,028 --> 00:10:12,828 Speaker 8: a lot of stake here and that like he sits 233 00:10:12,868 --> 00:10:14,908 Speaker 8: on the throne already. If he wins this game in 234 00:10:14,948 --> 00:10:15,908 Speaker 8: the third Super Bowl, it's. 235 00:10:15,788 --> 00:10:19,108 Speaker 6: Got He's got buzzards circling his coaching staff right now, 236 00:10:19,348 --> 00:10:22,348 Speaker 6: always got plenty of teams right now with openings that 237 00:10:22,388 --> 00:10:24,508 Speaker 6: want to talk to Nat shield House and Chris Shula 238 00:10:24,868 --> 00:10:27,228 Speaker 6: and all these guys, to the point where I think 239 00:10:27,268 --> 00:10:29,468 Speaker 6: he's already trying to figure out who's going to then 240 00:10:29,508 --> 00:10:32,548 Speaker 6: slide in either from the inside or from the outside, 241 00:10:32,548 --> 00:10:35,348 Speaker 6: while also, you know, getting ready for the NFC Championship 242 00:10:35,388 --> 00:10:37,548 Speaker 6: game right now. You've also got Matthew Stafford on the 243 00:10:37,548 --> 00:10:39,748 Speaker 6: back end of his career. He made some decisions coming 244 00:10:39,748 --> 00:10:42,148 Speaker 6: into this season. So this is a pivotal point for 245 00:10:42,268 --> 00:10:45,068 Speaker 6: Sean McVay in a lot of ways, win or lose, 246 00:10:45,068 --> 00:10:47,668 Speaker 6: We're going to have some of these conversations, Kyle. But 247 00:10:47,788 --> 00:10:50,108 Speaker 6: I also think it's a big point for Mike McDonald. 248 00:10:50,668 --> 00:10:53,668 Speaker 6: Man Tis, I kick it back to you, because there 249 00:10:53,748 --> 00:10:55,748 Speaker 6: was a point where we didn't know that Bill Belichick 250 00:10:55,828 --> 00:10:59,508 Speaker 6: was the greatest coach of our generation. Potentially, Like at 251 00:10:59,508 --> 00:11:01,628 Speaker 6: some point you've got to start making that perhaps this 252 00:11:01,708 --> 00:11:03,108 Speaker 6: is the start of it, and maybe in five years 253 00:11:03,108 --> 00:11:04,988 Speaker 6: we're looking back and say, oh boy, that was the 254 00:11:05,028 --> 00:11:07,148 Speaker 6: point at which McDonald started to establish himself. 255 00:11:07,148 --> 00:11:08,028 Speaker 7: And maybe when. 256 00:11:07,948 --> 00:11:10,028 Speaker 6: Kyle walks on the street in Manhattan and starts holding 257 00:11:10,028 --> 00:11:10,868 Speaker 6: the space, how people know. 258 00:11:10,908 --> 00:11:11,268 Speaker 7: Who he is. 259 00:11:11,868 --> 00:11:13,948 Speaker 10: I'm gonna go back to what Sean Payton said before 260 00:11:14,028 --> 00:11:15,788 Speaker 10: the divisional game. I thought it was one of the 261 00:11:15,788 --> 00:11:17,748 Speaker 10: more insightful things that I've heard. 262 00:11:17,708 --> 00:11:18,388 Speaker 9: A coach say. 263 00:11:18,428 --> 00:11:21,148 Speaker 10: And he was asked about his bye week and the 264 00:11:21,268 --> 00:11:25,108 Speaker 10: experience what that does for his team, and Sean Payton said, well, 265 00:11:25,148 --> 00:11:27,388 Speaker 10: it doesn't really help us in the first half, but 266 00:11:27,508 --> 00:11:29,308 Speaker 10: in the second half is when you start to see 267 00:11:29,348 --> 00:11:32,308 Speaker 10: the benefits of that. I equate that to this equation 268 00:11:32,428 --> 00:11:36,228 Speaker 10: with coach McDonald and Coach McVeigh. It's in these games 269 00:11:36,228 --> 00:11:38,548 Speaker 10: that you start to see the experience payoff. You start 270 00:11:38,548 --> 00:11:42,028 Speaker 10: to see the situational awareness and him being there so 271 00:11:42,108 --> 00:11:45,308 Speaker 10: many times understanding what the expectations are and what to do. 272 00:11:45,708 --> 00:11:46,828 Speaker 9: Now I am full confident. 273 00:11:46,908 --> 00:11:49,228 Speaker 10: I have full confidence in coach McDonald that he'll know 274 00:11:49,268 --> 00:11:51,348 Speaker 10: what to do in those situations. But it's always more 275 00:11:51,388 --> 00:11:53,868 Speaker 10: comforting when you have somebody like Sean McVay who's been 276 00:11:53,868 --> 00:11:55,868 Speaker 10: in those locker rooms. He's been in those games. He 277 00:11:56,628 --> 00:11:58,868 Speaker 10: knows the atmosphere that's going to be there. So I 278 00:11:58,868 --> 00:12:01,388 Speaker 10: think that was something that kind of separates those two 279 00:12:01,388 --> 00:12:03,228 Speaker 10: coaches in this atmosphere. 280 00:12:03,228 --> 00:12:03,548 Speaker 9: I don't know. 281 00:12:03,548 --> 00:12:05,388 Speaker 2: I think you become a made man in the NFL 282 00:12:05,428 --> 00:12:07,748 Speaker 2: if you have a slogan that follows you around. And 283 00:12:07,868 --> 00:12:09,588 Speaker 2: just to put a bow on what I brought up about, 284 00:12:09,628 --> 00:12:12,748 Speaker 2: Leonard Williams sure to start this conversation with the mob 285 00:12:12,868 --> 00:12:16,828 Speaker 2: Ties Mob. It comes from a postgame locker room scene 286 00:12:16,828 --> 00:12:19,228 Speaker 2: after a Monday night football win for the Seahawks earlier 287 00:12:19,268 --> 00:12:22,828 Speaker 2: this season in late October over the Texans. Let's just 288 00:12:22,868 --> 00:12:26,668 Speaker 2: say mission over BS. That's what it means for them, 289 00:12:26,788 --> 00:12:29,988 Speaker 2: Mission over BS, and Kyle the quote of the night, 290 00:12:30,068 --> 00:12:31,908 Speaker 2: I think you will really resonate with you from Mike 291 00:12:31,988 --> 00:12:34,988 Speaker 2: McDonald after that win over the Texans was Mike McDonald said, 292 00:12:35,228 --> 00:12:39,948 Speaker 2: this game was about death zone football. Okay, death zone football, 293 00:12:40,228 --> 00:12:43,348 Speaker 2: our style of ball, having each other's backs, bleep in 294 00:12:43,548 --> 00:12:45,948 Speaker 2: mob ties all the way. So that's the kind of 295 00:12:45,948 --> 00:12:49,068 Speaker 2: guy Mike McDonald was halfway through the season. And now 296 00:12:49,068 --> 00:12:52,668 Speaker 2: we'll see how their mission over bs affares in NFC 297 00:12:52,708 --> 00:12:55,468 Speaker 2: Title weekend. With that, we bring in Ian Rappaport, our 298 00:12:55,548 --> 00:12:58,468 Speaker 2: NFL Network insider with US Today rap Sheet. 299 00:12:59,148 --> 00:13:01,108 Speaker 3: Mike McDaniel was a big name. 300 00:13:00,988 --> 00:13:04,508 Speaker 2: Across the board for offensive coordinator availability. He is now 301 00:13:04,548 --> 00:13:06,588 Speaker 2: going to work with Jim Harbaugh with the LA Chargers, 302 00:13:06,588 --> 00:13:08,948 Speaker 2: but there was still a vacancy in the NFC South 303 00:13:08,948 --> 00:13:10,268 Speaker 2: that has been addressed this morning. 304 00:13:10,388 --> 00:13:13,788 Speaker 11: That's right, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have now filled their 305 00:13:13,828 --> 00:13:18,348 Speaker 11: offensive coordinator vacancy. Is Zach Robinson, the former Atlanta Falcons 306 00:13:18,388 --> 00:13:21,948 Speaker 11: offensive coordinator. Really has been a coveted coordinator candidate all 307 00:13:21,988 --> 00:13:25,268 Speaker 11: the way throughout in the reality is Baker Mayfield put 308 00:13:25,268 --> 00:13:27,188 Speaker 11: his stamp on this one. This was the guy that 309 00:13:27,228 --> 00:13:29,308 Speaker 11: he wanted. They were together with the Los Angeles Rams 310 00:13:29,308 --> 00:13:32,828 Speaker 11: in twenty twenty two. Baker Mayfield always remember that, So yes, 311 00:13:32,908 --> 00:13:35,428 Speaker 11: Zach Robinson did an excellent job with Kirk Cousins down 312 00:13:35,428 --> 00:13:36,148 Speaker 11: the stretch. 313 00:13:35,868 --> 00:13:37,388 Speaker 8: Here for the Atlanta Falcons. 314 00:13:37,428 --> 00:13:38,988 Speaker 7: Won a ton of game at games at. 315 00:13:38,948 --> 00:13:41,348 Speaker 11: The end of the year despite all of them eventually 316 00:13:41,748 --> 00:13:44,428 Speaker 11: getting fired. But the impression that he made on Baker 317 00:13:44,468 --> 00:13:47,948 Speaker 11: in La stood out. Zach Robinson, the deal was done 318 00:13:48,148 --> 00:13:50,948 Speaker 11: last night. My understanding actually is he flew down to 319 00:13:50,988 --> 00:13:53,428 Speaker 11: Tampa for an interview, left to go to the airport. 320 00:13:53,468 --> 00:13:55,668 Speaker 11: Todd Bows called him and said, don't leave town. 321 00:13:55,828 --> 00:13:56,468 Speaker 8: We're hiring you. 322 00:13:56,588 --> 00:13:58,948 Speaker 7: Come back. Came back, got the deal done. 323 00:13:59,068 --> 00:14:03,228 Speaker 11: So a new OC for Tampa. Same defensive coordinator for 324 00:14:03,308 --> 00:14:07,028 Speaker 11: the Minnesota Vice Kings. Brian Flores has signed a deal 325 00:14:07,268 --> 00:14:09,668 Speaker 11: to remain defensive coordinator for the Vikings. 326 00:14:09,668 --> 00:14:11,668 Speaker 8: That is a huge win for Minnesota. 327 00:14:11,748 --> 00:14:14,548 Speaker 11: One of the best coordinators in the NFL. Now, Flora 328 00:14:14,588 --> 00:14:16,228 Speaker 11: is still in the mix for the Steelers. 329 00:14:15,828 --> 00:14:17,108 Speaker 7: And Ravens head coaching jobs. 330 00:14:17,148 --> 00:14:20,428 Speaker 11: He could potentially take those, but if he is a coordinator, 331 00:14:20,428 --> 00:14:23,508 Speaker 11: it is going to be in Minnesota. The Buffalo Bills 332 00:14:23,548 --> 00:14:26,188 Speaker 11: are still searching for a head coach, and former Giants 333 00:14:26,188 --> 00:14:29,868 Speaker 11: coach Brian Dabole is going to interview with them today. 334 00:14:30,268 --> 00:14:31,788 Speaker 11: With the team he of course, spent a lot of 335 00:14:31,788 --> 00:14:34,188 Speaker 11: time with was a former offensive coordinator for Josh Allen 336 00:14:34,388 --> 00:14:36,948 Speaker 11: and the Buffalo Bills several years ago before the Giants. 337 00:14:37,268 --> 00:14:41,228 Speaker 11: He gets an interview and lou Anirumo, the Colts defensive coordinator, 338 00:14:41,508 --> 00:14:45,148 Speaker 11: also a respected defensive mind. He gets an interview with 339 00:14:45,268 --> 00:14:47,668 Speaker 11: the Buffalo Bills as well, and. 340 00:14:47,588 --> 00:14:48,548 Speaker 7: Then I mentioned the Bills. 341 00:14:49,028 --> 00:14:51,108 Speaker 11: So there was a press conference yesterday with Terry Pagul 342 00:14:51,148 --> 00:14:54,148 Speaker 11: and Branda Bean, and you know, let's just say it 343 00:14:54,188 --> 00:14:57,428 Speaker 11: got a little kind of crazy. You know, Terry Peguil 344 00:14:57,508 --> 00:15:01,148 Speaker 11: was asked, among other things, for why he fired Sean McDermott, 345 00:15:01,188 --> 00:15:05,148 Speaker 11: talked about the postgame locker room scene, how he devastated 346 00:15:05,468 --> 00:15:07,988 Speaker 11: everyone was and how he took that as a reason 347 00:15:08,068 --> 00:15:10,548 Speaker 11: for change. Did not think they could get as far 348 00:15:10,588 --> 00:15:12,868 Speaker 11: as they needed to go with Sean McDermott. 349 00:15:13,028 --> 00:15:14,668 Speaker 7: So he made a change, Yes he did. 350 00:15:15,548 --> 00:15:17,668 Speaker 6: And there were some viral moments in there, and we 351 00:15:17,708 --> 00:15:19,468 Speaker 6: will discuss them as we get through the program. I 352 00:15:19,588 --> 00:15:22,908 Speaker 6: just to me, I'm watching this press conference, and I've 353 00:15:22,948 --> 00:15:26,748 Speaker 6: seen press conferences before where you're talking about a coaching 354 00:15:26,748 --> 00:15:29,588 Speaker 6: opening that nobody wants. You're talking about a roster that's bereft, 355 00:15:29,588 --> 00:15:32,708 Speaker 6: of talent that has no MVP quarterback on it. I'm 356 00:15:32,748 --> 00:15:34,628 Speaker 6: just looking at this Bill's roster yes day and said, 357 00:15:34,748 --> 00:15:37,388 Speaker 6: there are guys that would walk to Buffalo through the 358 00:15:37,428 --> 00:15:39,708 Speaker 6: snow for the chest interview for this job, and you're 359 00:15:39,748 --> 00:15:41,308 Speaker 6: seeing it now with these guys that are going to 360 00:15:41,348 --> 00:15:44,388 Speaker 6: interview for this job. They've got a terrific offensive line. 361 00:15:44,428 --> 00:15:46,068 Speaker 6: They've got an all Pro running back. They've got that 362 00:15:46,228 --> 00:15:49,188 Speaker 6: MVP quarterback that I'm talking about there as well. On 363 00:15:49,228 --> 00:15:51,148 Speaker 6: the other side of the ball, they've got talent upfront. 364 00:15:51,148 --> 00:15:54,188 Speaker 6: They've got edge rushers. Dean Walker had a great season 365 00:15:54,188 --> 00:15:56,348 Speaker 6: at the defensive tackle of When Ed Oliver's healthy, he's 366 00:15:56,388 --> 00:15:58,948 Speaker 6: a fantastic force in the middle. They've got good linebackers. 367 00:15:58,988 --> 00:16:01,908 Speaker 6: They've got young talent in the secondary as well. 368 00:16:01,948 --> 00:16:03,308 Speaker 7: So Brandon Bean is coming out there. 369 00:16:03,348 --> 00:16:05,268 Speaker 6: I didn't mention my receiver. They understand they need to 370 00:16:05,308 --> 00:16:07,508 Speaker 6: do work at the wide receiver position. But Brandon Bee 371 00:16:07,628 --> 00:16:09,828 Speaker 6: is coming under plenty of heat right now from that 372 00:16:09,948 --> 00:16:14,068 Speaker 6: Bill's fan base and elsewhere. I understand a little bit 373 00:16:14,068 --> 00:16:15,708 Speaker 6: of it, I don't understand most of it. He has 374 00:16:15,708 --> 00:16:18,508 Speaker 6: done a great job building that roster there, and it 375 00:16:18,588 --> 00:16:21,748 Speaker 6: is a job that is extremely highly sought after, including 376 00:16:21,748 --> 00:16:25,068 Speaker 6: by Brian Dabele, whom we mentioned, who would love to 377 00:16:25,108 --> 00:16:26,428 Speaker 6: return to Buffalo. 378 00:16:25,988 --> 00:16:26,988 Speaker 7: In a head coaching role. 379 00:16:27,188 --> 00:16:29,068 Speaker 6: I believe there's gonna be no problem in landing a 380 00:16:29,148 --> 00:16:31,108 Speaker 6: coach there in Buffalo, and I believe there's going to 381 00:16:31,148 --> 00:16:33,308 Speaker 6: be continued to success up there in Buffalo in large 382 00:16:33,308 --> 00:16:34,268 Speaker 6: part because of that roster. 383 00:16:37,508 --> 00:16:39,748 Speaker 2: The Patriots are back in the ASC Championship for the 384 00:16:39,788 --> 00:16:44,308 Speaker 2: first time since twenty eighteen. Many players without much playoff experience. 385 00:16:44,308 --> 00:16:45,588 Speaker 3: Does that matter? We'll see. 386 00:16:45,668 --> 00:16:48,428 Speaker 2: Drake May and Mike Rabel were asked about this case, 387 00:16:48,468 --> 00:16:50,548 Speaker 2: and here's what they had to say about the lack 388 00:16:50,628 --> 00:16:52,148 Speaker 2: of experience in Foxborough. 389 00:16:53,188 --> 00:16:53,948 Speaker 9: I think coaching helps. 390 00:16:53,988 --> 00:16:56,188 Speaker 12: I think Coach Rabel, you know, being in the playing 391 00:16:56,228 --> 00:16:58,188 Speaker 12: play pot, playoff games, you know, win Super Bowls. 392 00:16:58,188 --> 00:16:59,588 Speaker 9: Coach McDaniel's, you know, same thing. 393 00:17:00,108 --> 00:17:02,068 Speaker 12: Just having coaches that you know what it's like, can 394 00:17:02,108 --> 00:17:04,628 Speaker 12: prepare us for it and just you trust and what 395 00:17:04,628 --> 00:17:05,268 Speaker 12: we've done all season. 396 00:17:05,308 --> 00:17:06,708 Speaker 9: Your coach always talks about don't change the. 397 00:17:06,708 --> 00:17:09,108 Speaker 12: Recipe now, and I think I'll have little tweaks and 398 00:17:09,108 --> 00:17:10,788 Speaker 12: stuff here, you know, here and there is fine, but 399 00:17:10,908 --> 00:17:12,348 Speaker 12: at the end of day, being who we are, you know, 400 00:17:12,468 --> 00:17:14,388 Speaker 12: kind of building this identity and going to show it 401 00:17:14,428 --> 00:17:15,228 Speaker 12: and bring it on the road. 402 00:17:15,388 --> 00:17:18,348 Speaker 13: I mean there are two more games experience in the 403 00:17:18,348 --> 00:17:22,188 Speaker 13: playoffs than they were two weeks ago, so I mean, 404 00:17:23,268 --> 00:17:25,668 Speaker 13: just try to play well and prepare and enjoy it. 405 00:17:27,428 --> 00:17:29,908 Speaker 2: Rabl's not wrong. The Patriots now have two playoff wins 406 00:17:29,988 --> 00:17:30,508 Speaker 2: under their belt. 407 00:17:30,548 --> 00:17:30,948 Speaker 7: We get it. 408 00:17:31,068 --> 00:17:33,708 Speaker 2: This is how they got here in the AFC title game. Manti, 409 00:17:33,748 --> 00:17:36,628 Speaker 2: big dealer, No big deal. Lack of playoff experience for 410 00:17:36,628 --> 00:17:37,788 Speaker 2: the New England Patriots, no. 411 00:17:37,828 --> 00:17:40,028 Speaker 10: Big deal, Jamie, and I love it. Thank you Drake 412 00:17:40,108 --> 00:17:42,708 Speaker 10: May for answering this question for me. Why because your 413 00:17:42,748 --> 00:17:46,908 Speaker 10: head coach probably has the most experienced besides your offensive coordinator, 414 00:17:46,948 --> 00:17:49,708 Speaker 10: then both teams combined. When you talk about the Patriots 415 00:17:49,708 --> 00:17:52,748 Speaker 10: and their lack of experience, if you look at playoff 416 00:17:52,788 --> 00:17:56,308 Speaker 10: experience on that roster, they actually have more experience than 417 00:17:56,348 --> 00:17:58,788 Speaker 10: the Broncos. When you think about their head coach, Mike Vrabel, 418 00:17:58,788 --> 00:18:01,228 Speaker 10: who played in four Super Bowls, one three of them. 419 00:18:01,388 --> 00:18:04,308 Speaker 10: You think about Josh McDaniels, their offensive coordinator, who coached 420 00:18:04,508 --> 00:18:06,788 Speaker 10: six of them, won all six of them, and then 421 00:18:06,828 --> 00:18:08,588 Speaker 10: you got Milton Williams who won the Super. 422 00:18:08,388 --> 00:18:09,148 Speaker 9: Bowl last year. 423 00:18:09,188 --> 00:18:11,828 Speaker 10: You got Carlton Davis who won a Super Bowl a 424 00:18:11,868 --> 00:18:13,948 Speaker 10: few years ago. And then you got Trayvon Henderson that 425 00:18:13,988 --> 00:18:15,828 Speaker 10: didn't win a super Bowl, but he's a national CHAMPIONI 426 00:18:15,908 --> 00:18:17,228 Speaker 10: so he is a champion as well. 427 00:18:17,508 --> 00:18:18,748 Speaker 9: And then you look at the Broncos. 428 00:18:18,788 --> 00:18:21,388 Speaker 10: There's not one person on the Broncos team that won 429 00:18:21,508 --> 00:18:23,348 Speaker 10: a Super Bowl except for the head coach, Champaign. 430 00:18:23,468 --> 00:18:24,708 Speaker 9: So, Mike ge when I'm. 431 00:18:24,588 --> 00:18:26,988 Speaker 10: Looking at both of these guys, both of these teams, 432 00:18:27,108 --> 00:18:30,308 Speaker 10: if you're talking about playoff experience, yes, they're a younger 433 00:18:30,308 --> 00:18:33,028 Speaker 10: team over there in New England. However, in the grand 434 00:18:33,108 --> 00:18:35,348 Speaker 10: scheme of things, they got more experience than the Broncos. 435 00:18:35,428 --> 00:18:36,948 Speaker 6: Well, I think the biggest thing when you get to 436 00:18:36,988 --> 00:18:40,548 Speaker 6: this stuff and experience is making sure things stay normal. 437 00:18:40,628 --> 00:18:42,748 Speaker 6: And that's really huge when you get to the super 438 00:18:42,788 --> 00:18:45,308 Speaker 6: Bowl because that's not a normal game, but it sort 439 00:18:45,308 --> 00:18:47,588 Speaker 6: of starts when you get to the conference championship. 440 00:18:48,028 --> 00:18:49,988 Speaker 7: The media availabilities, the way that. 441 00:18:49,948 --> 00:18:52,668 Speaker 6: The game itself is handled, it's different than the divisional round. 442 00:18:52,828 --> 00:18:55,668 Speaker 6: So Mike Rabel, Josh McDaniels, those guys being in those 443 00:18:55,668 --> 00:18:58,508 Speaker 6: positions because they're in charge of the schedule, the structure, 444 00:18:58,588 --> 00:19:00,788 Speaker 6: the tone of the week, so these are the guys 445 00:19:00,828 --> 00:19:03,108 Speaker 6: that really it matters the most that they have experience. 446 00:19:03,108 --> 00:19:05,548 Speaker 6: It's why we just talked to, you know, Mike McDonald 447 00:19:05,668 --> 00:19:08,348 Speaker 6: versus Sean McVeigh, McVeigh and his staff having been there, 448 00:19:08,428 --> 00:19:11,268 Speaker 6: McDonald and his staff for the first time really getting 449 00:19:11,268 --> 00:19:13,908 Speaker 6: to this point. So I think it's huge, not necessarily 450 00:19:14,028 --> 00:19:15,948 Speaker 6: for Vrabel that he's been there as a coach, but 451 00:19:15,948 --> 00:19:18,628 Speaker 6: he's been there as a player, and McDaniel certainly has 452 00:19:18,628 --> 00:19:18,988 Speaker 6: as well. 453 00:19:19,228 --> 00:19:22,108 Speaker 8: Yeah, listen, this teams are so similar. It's not as 454 00:19:22,108 --> 00:19:24,468 Speaker 8: if the Patriots are going against the John Elway Broncos 455 00:19:24,548 --> 00:19:27,388 Speaker 8: like this is. The Broncos are not this factory of 456 00:19:27,508 --> 00:19:32,508 Speaker 8: a playoff experience year after year after year. It's pretty arbitrary, really, 457 00:19:32,548 --> 00:19:34,788 Speaker 8: and especially since the teams are so similar. It's like, 458 00:19:35,508 --> 00:19:38,428 Speaker 8: I think the coaches are like models of each other really, 459 00:19:38,468 --> 00:19:40,868 Speaker 8: and the quarterbacks are pretty much the same player. They 460 00:19:40,908 --> 00:19:44,748 Speaker 8: both have one playoff win. So listen, I know it's 461 00:19:44,828 --> 00:19:47,308 Speaker 8: Thursday before title game weekend and we got to ask, 462 00:19:47,468 --> 00:19:49,348 Speaker 8: but since there's no weather to talk about, we'll talk 463 00:19:49,388 --> 00:19:51,468 Speaker 8: about experience. I don't think it's a big foot factor. 464 00:19:51,508 --> 00:19:54,428 Speaker 2: Now, you really wanted to bring up weather just to 465 00:19:54,428 --> 00:19:57,948 Speaker 2: make sure, we check that off the list, but what 466 00:19:57,948 --> 00:19:59,028 Speaker 2: about the altitude, Kyle? 467 00:19:59,068 --> 00:19:59,988 Speaker 3: Should we talk about that? 468 00:20:00,188 --> 00:20:00,268 Speaker 8: No? 469 00:20:00,548 --> 00:20:03,068 Speaker 3: Okay, moving on. 470 00:20:03,228 --> 00:20:06,548 Speaker 2: The Bear season ended in dramatic fashion, ultimately falling short, 471 00:20:06,588 --> 00:20:08,828 Speaker 2: but not without seeing one of the best throws of 472 00:20:08,828 --> 00:20:11,668 Speaker 2: the year from their quarterback Kaylee Williams. Well Ben Johnson 473 00:20:11,708 --> 00:20:14,308 Speaker 2: spoke about how none of that matters now and it's 474 00:20:14,348 --> 00:20:15,668 Speaker 2: back to the beginning in Chicago. 475 00:20:17,188 --> 00:20:21,548 Speaker 14: I'm already looking ahead to twenty twenty six myself. With 476 00:20:21,668 --> 00:20:25,468 Speaker 14: that being said, I'm really excited about seeing this city, 477 00:20:25,668 --> 00:20:29,628 Speaker 14: this fan base come to life these last two games. 478 00:20:29,908 --> 00:20:32,988 Speaker 7: I'll never forget just the energy, the vibe. 479 00:20:34,508 --> 00:20:36,788 Speaker 14: You could feel that, and it is a serious home 480 00:20:36,828 --> 00:20:39,988 Speaker 14: field advantage that we're creating here in Chicago. That's something 481 00:20:40,028 --> 00:20:42,428 Speaker 14: that we've got to continue to build upon as we 482 00:20:42,468 --> 00:20:47,188 Speaker 14: go forward. Talk to our guys a little bit on Monday, 483 00:20:47,388 --> 00:20:50,708 Speaker 14: just in terms of where we are and how we're 484 00:20:50,708 --> 00:20:54,788 Speaker 14: moving ahead. We go back to square one. It's back 485 00:20:54,828 --> 00:20:57,188 Speaker 14: to the bottom again, and we got to build this 486 00:20:57,228 --> 00:20:57,948 Speaker 14: thing back up. 487 00:20:59,908 --> 00:21:03,548 Speaker 2: He doesn't appear as devastated, but it's a similar message 488 00:21:03,548 --> 00:21:05,908 Speaker 2: to what Dan Camp delivered Kyle a couple of years 489 00:21:05,908 --> 00:21:08,068 Speaker 2: ago when the Lions lost the forty nine ers in 490 00:21:08,068 --> 00:21:11,108 Speaker 2: the sense that you only have so many chances to 491 00:21:11,148 --> 00:21:13,268 Speaker 2: get this far, and when you reset, you got to 492 00:21:13,308 --> 00:21:15,548 Speaker 2: reset back at week one of twenty twenty six. 493 00:21:15,628 --> 00:21:17,508 Speaker 3: So big deal or no big deal? 494 00:21:17,548 --> 00:21:19,628 Speaker 2: What do you make of Ben Johnson's comments for the 495 00:21:19,668 --> 00:21:21,908 Speaker 2: Bears starting back at the bottom of the pile again, 496 00:21:23,108 --> 00:21:23,828 Speaker 2: It's a big deal. 497 00:21:23,708 --> 00:21:25,468 Speaker 8: Because it's a great press conference from him, and the 498 00:21:25,468 --> 00:21:27,428 Speaker 8: Bears haven't always had those from the head coaches. And 499 00:21:27,468 --> 00:21:30,428 Speaker 8: I thought that Ryan Poles was excellent as well, up 500 00:21:30,468 --> 00:21:33,308 Speaker 8: to and including smiling when he was asked about Max 501 00:21:33,348 --> 00:21:35,508 Speaker 8: Crosby joining the Bears. It was a good day for 502 00:21:35,508 --> 00:21:38,988 Speaker 8: Bears media yesterday because it was like unimpressed. The whole 503 00:21:39,028 --> 00:21:42,028 Speaker 8: vibe of Ben Johnson is this is the new normal. 504 00:21:42,668 --> 00:21:44,188 Speaker 8: We're not going to throw a parade for what we 505 00:21:44,228 --> 00:21:46,348 Speaker 8: did next this year. We're gonna do it next year. 506 00:21:46,628 --> 00:21:48,388 Speaker 8: And by the way, next year's Bears team is going 507 00:21:48,428 --> 00:21:51,988 Speaker 8: to feel very different. They are going to dominate, dominate 508 00:21:52,148 --> 00:21:54,988 Speaker 8: the national televised games like they are going to play 509 00:21:54,988 --> 00:21:58,508 Speaker 8: a ton between Caleb between Ben Johnson. I mean, you 510 00:21:58,508 --> 00:22:00,708 Speaker 8: think the first Bears Packers game is not going to 511 00:22:00,748 --> 00:22:02,948 Speaker 8: be on NBC or one of these prime time. Of 512 00:22:02,988 --> 00:22:05,348 Speaker 8: course it is, and the second one probably will be too. 513 00:22:05,508 --> 00:22:07,628 Speaker 8: So you're gonna see a lot of Ben Johnson and 514 00:22:07,668 --> 00:22:11,508 Speaker 8: Caleb next year. And Ben's thing is just like it 515 00:22:11,588 --> 00:22:13,548 Speaker 8: will start over. It's not a big deal. We're gonna 516 00:22:13,548 --> 00:22:15,748 Speaker 8: do this every single year. And if anything, he's seemed 517 00:22:15,788 --> 00:22:18,628 Speaker 8: kind of annoyed because they lost in the divisional this year, 518 00:22:18,668 --> 00:22:21,228 Speaker 8: So it's an expectation that this is the new normal. 519 00:22:21,268 --> 00:22:21,468 Speaker 5: Now. 520 00:22:21,708 --> 00:22:24,188 Speaker 8: That's how he conducted himself, and there was no pats 521 00:22:24,188 --> 00:22:25,388 Speaker 8: on the back rooimself whatsoever. 522 00:22:25,428 --> 00:22:27,588 Speaker 10: I liked it, Yeah, I loved it. I also thought 523 00:22:27,588 --> 00:22:29,708 Speaker 10: that it was a big deal KB. And this is 524 00:22:29,788 --> 00:22:31,788 Speaker 10: why there are some teams that Kerry Murwaite in the 525 00:22:31,828 --> 00:22:32,708 Speaker 10: cities that they're in. 526 00:22:33,668 --> 00:22:36,188 Speaker 9: Chicago is one of those. I was part of the 527 00:22:36,228 --> 00:22:37,468 Speaker 9: New Orleans Saints. 528 00:22:37,708 --> 00:22:40,468 Speaker 10: Where that team and that city when you're able to 529 00:22:40,588 --> 00:22:43,428 Speaker 10: bring those two things together. I go back to what 530 00:22:43,748 --> 00:22:46,068 Speaker 10: Ben Johnson said, seeing the city and the fan base 531 00:22:46,188 --> 00:22:48,708 Speaker 10: come to life when you're on that team and you 532 00:22:48,788 --> 00:22:50,748 Speaker 10: understand the type of impact that you can have on 533 00:22:50,788 --> 00:22:53,108 Speaker 10: a community, on that city, the type of pride that 534 00:22:53,108 --> 00:22:54,548 Speaker 10: they have for their team. 535 00:22:54,588 --> 00:22:55,868 Speaker 9: I mean so many people have said it. 536 00:22:55,948 --> 00:22:58,828 Speaker 10: You know, there's so many different professional teams in the 537 00:22:58,828 --> 00:23:01,548 Speaker 10: city of Chicago, but everybody says that the city of 538 00:23:01,628 --> 00:23:04,148 Speaker 10: Chicago is a Bear's town, and when the Bears are 539 00:23:04,188 --> 00:23:06,908 Speaker 10: doing well, that that city is thriving. I remember when 540 00:23:06,908 --> 00:23:09,148 Speaker 10: I was in New Orleans playing for the Saints from 541 00:23:09,868 --> 00:23:12,028 Speaker 10: twenty seventeen to twenty nineteen. 542 00:23:11,948 --> 00:23:13,308 Speaker 9: And we had that place rocking. 543 00:23:14,108 --> 00:23:17,828 Speaker 10: People were telling about the team's impactor Hurricane Katrina. 544 00:23:18,228 --> 00:23:19,548 Speaker 9: People on the streets would come up. 545 00:23:19,508 --> 00:23:21,628 Speaker 10: And say, man, when the Saints are doing good, crime 546 00:23:21,708 --> 00:23:25,188 Speaker 10: goes down, like some teams that have that type of impact. 547 00:23:25,188 --> 00:23:27,788 Speaker 10: And I look at the Chicago Bears as one of 548 00:23:27,868 --> 00:23:28,788 Speaker 10: those teams for that. 549 00:23:28,748 --> 00:23:30,468 Speaker 9: City of Chicago that they're. 550 00:23:30,348 --> 00:23:32,428 Speaker 10: Very passionate about their Bears, And so I think it's 551 00:23:32,428 --> 00:23:34,588 Speaker 10: a huge deal that Ben Johnson has. 552 00:23:34,548 --> 00:23:35,988 Speaker 9: Starting to feel that he started. 553 00:23:35,788 --> 00:23:38,748 Speaker 10: To understand that, and as the Bears start to climb 554 00:23:38,828 --> 00:23:41,708 Speaker 10: and get further and further into this playoff, he's going 555 00:23:41,748 --> 00:23:43,708 Speaker 10: to start to see and feel that love from the 556 00:23:43,708 --> 00:23:44,628 Speaker 10: fan base as well. 557 00:23:44,948 --> 00:23:47,108 Speaker 7: It's a big deal. They starting at the bottom. 558 00:23:47,108 --> 00:23:49,788 Speaker 6: Part is a big deal because as a first year 559 00:23:49,828 --> 00:23:52,308 Speaker 6: head coach, you can have some success and then you 560 00:23:52,428 --> 00:23:54,228 Speaker 6: maybe get in a little bit of trouble when you 561 00:23:54,308 --> 00:23:57,668 Speaker 6: start smelling yourself a little bit. In recent history, we've 562 00:23:57,668 --> 00:24:00,148 Speaker 6: seen it. Let's go back Todd Bowles with the Jets, 563 00:24:00,148 --> 00:24:01,708 Speaker 6: doing well with the Buccaneers, but with the Jets, and 564 00:24:01,708 --> 00:24:03,388 Speaker 6: there were a variety of factors here, by the way 565 00:24:03,708 --> 00:24:06,708 Speaker 6: ten and six, first year, fourteen and thirty four, the 566 00:24:06,748 --> 00:24:09,748 Speaker 6: next three years, Naggy in Chicago talking about the Bears 567 00:24:09,748 --> 00:24:12,308 Speaker 6: twelve and four and then twenty two and twenty seven. 568 00:24:12,388 --> 00:24:15,628 Speaker 6: And in some cases these guys failed because they tried 569 00:24:15,668 --> 00:24:17,468 Speaker 6: to do it the same way, whereas Ben Jonson say, 570 00:24:17,548 --> 00:24:20,468 Speaker 6: let's start over again. Ben McAdoo eleven and five, then 571 00:24:20,468 --> 00:24:23,508 Speaker 6: two and ten, Tony Sperano eleven and five with the Dolphins, 572 00:24:23,588 --> 00:24:26,228 Speaker 6: eighteen and twenty seven, the next three years, Bill Callahan 573 00:24:26,228 --> 00:24:26,748 Speaker 6: eleven and. 574 00:24:26,708 --> 00:24:28,868 Speaker 7: Five, four and twelve the second season. I can go 575 00:24:28,908 --> 00:24:29,228 Speaker 7: on and on. 576 00:24:29,268 --> 00:24:32,188 Speaker 6: There's plenty of examples of guys that come out hot 577 00:24:32,428 --> 00:24:35,028 Speaker 6: and then aren't able to replicate that success. And sometimes 578 00:24:35,028 --> 00:24:37,348 Speaker 6: to do it, Jamie, you gotta maybe undo some things 579 00:24:37,468 --> 00:24:39,428 Speaker 6: or take a hard look as if it's your first 580 00:24:39,468 --> 00:24:42,028 Speaker 6: year again. And it sounds like Ben Jonson's taking that approach. 581 00:24:42,068 --> 00:24:42,428 Speaker 8: Big deal. 582 00:24:42,708 --> 00:24:45,988 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, look no further than the commanders attempting 583 00:24:45,988 --> 00:24:47,628 Speaker 2: to run it back with what they had their first 584 00:24:47,668 --> 00:24:49,308 Speaker 2: year with Jade and Daniels. And I know there were 585 00:24:49,308 --> 00:24:51,428 Speaker 2: a lot of injuries in that city, but sometimes you 586 00:24:51,508 --> 00:24:52,708 Speaker 2: really have to reevaluate. 587 00:24:52,788 --> 00:24:53,028 Speaker 3: Kyle. 588 00:24:53,268 --> 00:24:55,828 Speaker 2: I can't stop hoping to maybe the scheduling gods that 589 00:24:55,868 --> 00:24:58,908 Speaker 2: maybe the Bears are the opening game opponent for twenty 590 00:24:58,988 --> 00:25:01,628 Speaker 2: twenty six to go and play the reigning Super Bowl 591 00:25:01,748 --> 00:25:02,428 Speaker 2: champion team. 592 00:25:02,788 --> 00:25:05,188 Speaker 3: That would be fun.

And I also think Reggie Bush's 791 00:34:23,468 --> 00:34:25,548 Speaker 8: first touch on the NFL was on a punt return. 792 00:34:26,108 --> 00:34:28,308 Speaker 8: I don't think it was from scrimmage. I could be 793 00:34:28,388 --> 00:34:30,268 Speaker 8: wrong about that, but I do remember it, and I 794 00:34:30,308 --> 00:34:32,348 Speaker 8: think it was in a dome, possibly the Super Dome. 795 00:34:32,868 --> 00:34:34,948 Speaker 8: So it's pretty clear details there. So I'm going to 796 00:34:35,028 --> 00:34:36,908 Speaker 8: go with the guy who is just an absolute machine 797 00:34:36,948 --> 00:34:39,388 Speaker 8: and who I loved. I'm going d I'm going deuce 798 00:34:39,508 --> 00:34:41,068 Speaker 8: McAllister rushing touchdown. 799 00:34:41,788 --> 00:34:44,908 Speaker 2: It just really it was Kyle's day. Perhaps Ron Pitts 800 00:34:44,948 --> 00:34:50,828 Speaker 2: and Terry Donahue. You have the yeah, produces Lewis first 801 00:34:50,868 --> 00:34:55,748 Speaker 2: of Tim row Callister, McAllister, great player to. 802 00:34:57,988 --> 00:34:59,588 Speaker 9: Do. I get credit for the NFL. 803 00:35:04,188 --> 00:35:08,028 Speaker 7: Left side the offensive line. McCallister finds that breast and 804 00:35:08,188 --> 00:35:09,468 Speaker 7: puts upon in the end zone. 805 00:35:09,788 --> 00:35:16,588 Speaker 2: Ooh, that was Ron Pitts and Terry Donahue. So despite 806 00:35:16,628 --> 00:35:19,908 Speaker 2: there only being three Shawns in NFL coaching history as 807 00:35:19,948 --> 00:35:22,628 Speaker 2: head coaches, that was the first win for a team 808 00:35:22,708 --> 00:35:24,548 Speaker 2: coached by a Shawn over a team coach. 809 00:35:24,428 --> 00:35:26,468 Speaker 3: By Mike, and the Shawns still have the edge fifty 810 00:35:26,508 --> 00:35:29,108 Speaker 3: two to thirty two over the mics, including the left. 811 00:35:29,228 --> 00:35:33,228 Speaker 8: That's that fifty two to thirty two is tremendous.
