That's where the Super Bowl 10 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 1: is going to find the Kansas City Chiefs playing against 11 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:37,879 Speaker 1: the San Francisco Fort Nyrons, who I think we've been 12 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: saying for a long time now the two best teams 13 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 1: in the NFL, and we're gonna get a chance to 14 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: see that matchup. But we gotta get some takeaways here 15 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: from what we saw this last weekend. Look, it was 16 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 1: a fantastic championship weekend. Uh, it was everything that we 17 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 1: thought it would be with the the two best teams 18 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 1: ended up in the super Bowl. So I'm excited to 19 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: see super Bowl fifty four. All right, let's let's do 20 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 1: a takeaway a piece here from each game. Why don't 21 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: you start us off? The first takeaway On the Kansas 22 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: City chief side of things, Patrick Mahomes is a one 23 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 1: man show. Chiefs two touchdowns in the last two drops. 24 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: Then they do it again, kind of the essence. Twenty 25 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 1: three seconds left second quarter, Pree eligible left, Kelsey again 26 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 1: split to the right. William Shane's that same way, three 27 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: man rush again by Tennessee. Mahomes moving to his left, 28 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,680 Speaker 1: latterally chased holding it and gets out of bounding up 29 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: the sideline. He's down out of bounds, yet he's at 30 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 1: the ten inside the Tenny dodge for the end zone touchdown. 31 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:37,680 Speaker 1: Cans A City A remarkable at crobatic scramble on the 32 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:43,839 Speaker 1: seven yard run. Maybe the best play yet. Patrick Mahomes 33 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: incredible young career. So DJ here here's the thing that 34 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: we've always talked about. We've talked about franchise quarterbacks and 35 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: uh we we coined the phrase trucks and trailers, and 36 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback is a guy who can carry the squad. 37 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: He is a truck. He's a guy that can get 38 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: it done. Patrick Mahomes really showed the football world what 39 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback is. The way that he played in 40 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: that game. When the Kan City Chiefs were down and 41 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: they needed playmaking, they needed someone to spark the squad. 42 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes took his game to another level. And I 43 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: think the thing that's interesting is we always can talk 44 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: about his off platform throws and the fantastic arm talent, 45 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: but the athleticism that he has displayed throughout the playoffs, 46 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: his ability to pick up plays with his legs, he 47 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: has added another dimension. And I know we don't like 48 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 1: to necessarily treat him or lump him in to do 49 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 1: a threat category, but what we've seen throughout the playoffs, 50 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: his ability to make plays with his legs has only 51 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: enhanced his ability to make these outstanding throws with his arms. 52 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 1: And I saw it in Mexico City during the Charger game, 53 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: the first game against the Chiefs there were that was 54 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: a really competitive football game, but he had three third 55 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: down runs I want to say, over twenty yards a 56 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,679 Speaker 1: piece in that game. And when you have when you 57 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: again it comes back to how you've built your team 58 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,799 Speaker 1: with so much speed. You have a quarterback with a 59 00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: huge arms, so you've got to respect that down the field. 60 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: They don't want to get beat, so you protect down 61 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,799 Speaker 1: the field and then mahomes It's like you can get 62 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: that anytime he wants it. And to me, I thought, 63 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: you know, we talked about three three factors with quarterback 64 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: play that you know, probably above any other when we 65 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: talk about accuracy, decision making, empoise, And I think sometimes 66 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: people think poise is just poison the pocket with bodies 67 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: around you. Sometimes it's poison a situation where you're down big. 68 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:23,959 Speaker 1: We saw it, you know in the last round we 69 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 1: are out twenty four to nothing against the Texans. Maintaining 70 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: your poise, we're gonna be fine. You're the leader. If 71 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: your leader freaks out, the whole team is going to 72 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: freak out. This guy is just dripping with poise. Looks 73 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: he's dripping with the count of poise. And a lot 74 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: of people won't make this parallel because a lot of 75 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: people don't really remember Brett Farve in his prime. I 76 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: firmly believe the reason Andy Reid was so fascinated with 77 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: Pat mahomes Uh during the pre draft process was because 78 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: Andy Reid was on the Green Bay Packer staff when 79 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: bread Farv won three straight m v ps. I was 80 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: playing there. Andy had gone from me the tight end 81 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: coach to the quarterback coach. And the one thing that 82 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: Brett Favre was able to do each and every week, 83 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: he gave us hope. He gave us the kind of 84 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: hope that if we were ever down and win a situation, 85 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: we could just get him the ball back, he could 86 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: find a way to do it. I think that hope 87 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: permeates the sideline in Kansas City because they know number fifteen, 88 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: if he gets the ball, he can find a way 89 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 1: to make things happen. And I think when you have 90 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: that kind of competitor and player and playmaker at quarterback, 91 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: it really changes that outlook up your team. You know, 92 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: it's interesting. I was talking to somebody about Mahomes the 93 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: other day and we've gone through the history of his 94 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: evaluation a million times here on the show. Um, you know, 95 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,239 Speaker 1: just a lot of screens and scrambles, raw raw, raw talent, 96 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: tremendous upside needed to go to the right place. It 97 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: happened for him, and obviously, in hindsight, should have been 98 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: the first pick in the draft. When you when you 99 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 1: look back at it, so you know you kind of 100 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: own I own a miss on that one. But the 101 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 1: interesting thing somebody brought up to me and they said, 102 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,919 Speaker 1: you know, you know who else loved him? Gruden? And 103 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: he said you know who else? And they they had 104 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: like three guys. He said, you know what they all 105 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 1: have in common? They were all around Brett far And 106 00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: I think, look, I wish we could do it and 107 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: maybe a longer form thing, but I wish we could 108 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: pour footage from the ninety seven seasons with the Green 109 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: Bay Packers so people could really appreciate why that Brett 110 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: Farve left such a mark on so many of us. 111 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 1: Because when you look at what Pat Mahomes does in 112 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: and out of the pocket, the way that he plays, 113 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: the way that he's able to kind of make the 114 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 1: coordinator right, it's uncommon, but it's what you want your 115 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: franchise quarterback to do. That I can't call every perfect play, 116 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: so I need you to erase some of my mistakes. 117 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: And that's what Patrick Mahomes does absolutely. All right, let 118 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 1: me get to the other side of things here with 119 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans. Take away, Uh pretty simple here, way, 120 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: way way too much. Three man rush, My Home stays 121 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: in the gun, takes the snack. He looks Homes can 122 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 1: run this thing. He's gonna try to get there. He's 123 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: got his first down and he's out of bounds at 124 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: the Titans forties seven yard line. It just can't defense 125 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 1: everything that gets my Homes can't do no, you can't 126 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 1: and I man and again there he was. I'm and 127 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 1: that's a death five thousand cuts there and buck as 128 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: you heard on the call there and that was again 129 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes scrambling. So it kind of piggybacks on your 130 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: point about his athleticism. Look the way to play this team, 131 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta you gotta put your big boy 132 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 1: pants on. It's gonna you're gonna be a little bit sweaty, 133 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: a little bit nervous, but you've got to try and 134 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: send some pressure at him. If you can't get home before, 135 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,919 Speaker 1: you've got to designate more rushers. You let him just 136 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 1: sit back there. He's either gonna wait, one of these 137 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: speed dudes is gonna uncover down the field, or he's 138 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: gonna take off and go the Russian three. I get 139 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: not wanting to give up the big play, but if 140 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 1: that's the way you're gonna play, you better have the 141 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 1: best red zone defense in the NFL. And they couldn't 142 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: stop him when they got down there either, you know, 143 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 1: I think he's getting to the point where you have 144 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: to treat him like Paid Manning in a certain way 145 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: where when you talk to defensive coordinates on how they 146 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: used to defend Paid Manning, you always have to change 147 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 1: the look. You can't give him a steady diet of 148 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 1: any one thing, because once he figures it out, he 149 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 1: goes into attack mode. And I think that's what we 150 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: saw because the Tennessee Titans was so afraid of the 151 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 1: Kann City Chief speed and rightfully so. Tyreek Hill can 152 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 1: get over top, Travis Kelsey can hurt you, Sammy Watkins 153 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: can make big play. They try to use some double 154 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 1: team tax. Well, when they double team, it took their guys, 155 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: their second level defenders out of the mix. They couldn't rush. 156 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: They also couldn't spy Pat Mahomes and he ate it up. 157 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: And so when you're unable to get him off of 158 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: his spot, off of his rhythm, disrupt his rhythm with 159 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: the rush or the coverage, he just has too much time. 160 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: He makes too many big plays happen. And where also, 161 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: whether he's running or just running around out of the pocket, 162 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: his arm is so big that even the big plays 163 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: happened when he's off the script. Yeah, this Tennessee Titans 164 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: teams est to see what they do here in the postseason. 165 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: They've got decisions on the quarterback and the running back. Ideally, 166 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: you've you franchise one, you signed the other one to 167 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: an extension, because I don't think you know, while some 168 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: other teams you can make a case running backs, go 169 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: find one here, go find one there. It's a unique player. 170 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: And Derrick Henry and how they've built this team to 171 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: kind of run through him, I feel like they have 172 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: maybe and maybe it's a transition tag. Maybe you franchise 173 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: Tag Tannehill. Maybe you transition tag Um you're running back there. 174 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: So I just I think both those guys need to 175 00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: be there for them to continue to grow. Yeah, I 176 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: think so, And I think that is the interesting strategy. 177 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: I don't know if I would necessarily tie myself to 178 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill for too long. I understand and respect what 179 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: he's been able to do the last half of the season. 180 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: He definitely gave this team life. I don't know if 181 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: I wanted to be burdened by for he's a trailer. 182 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: I mean, we talked about trucks and trailers he's a trailer, 183 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: but in the right scheme and right set up, you 184 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: can win a lot of football games. My thing with 185 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: him in this football game, the Chiefs have more ways 186 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: to beat you, and for for the Titans, it is 187 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: one way. It is one There's one road to success 188 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: for them and that is through Derrick Henry and looking 189 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: the way that they game played out. And I think 190 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 1: that's what you have to do. When you're Mike Rabel 191 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: and you're for John Robinson, you're looking at Okay, where 192 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: can we go from here? We've been able to win 193 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: a lot of games against big teams playing one way. However, 194 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,199 Speaker 1: it is always better when you have options. And the 195 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: two teams that are left standing they have multiple pitches 196 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,319 Speaker 1: and they also so I understand one to be Mariano 197 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: Rivera and just he we go throw the cutter, ask you, 198 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: but you would like to have enough weapens on offense 199 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: to be able to attack a few different ways, no doubt. 200 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 1: All right, let's let's get over to the NFC. In 201 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: a game that was well, it simply was almost over 202 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: before it started. It was just a dominant, dominant performance 203 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: by the forty niners. And my first takeaway on this 204 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: one on the forty Niners side of things. Uh, from 205 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 1: a run game standpoint, you won't see anything better than that. 206 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 1: Kittle and Born or tight left just outside of state 207 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: of the garappetoet a handoff to Moister to cut back 208 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:35,199 Speaker 1: around ten five touch, said Francisco Rugge. Poster has the 209 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: hand trick in the first half, but the NC Championship games, 210 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: so it deserves to hat trick and feel great, baby 211 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: Moster ROTI that speed is sick and buck. This was 212 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: a This was a combination of being really good up 213 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,319 Speaker 1: front on the offensive line, tight ends and fullbacks who 214 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: were outstanding in the run game. Backs especially most are 215 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,079 Speaker 1: just with some juice. You know, we talked about I 216 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: don't think you need to run the ball a million 217 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,559 Speaker 1: times a game, but you want to have some explosive runs. 218 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: They were doing both. They're running a million times and 219 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: getting a ton of explosive plays. And then you add 220 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: on top of it the most important factor. Um and 221 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,719 Speaker 1: you know, Kyle Shanahan's gonna get all the credit here. 222 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: I think there's a bunch of people involved with him 223 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 1: in terms of coming up with this scheme and game plan. 224 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: And I don't know I've ever seen a more masterful 225 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,599 Speaker 1: scheme than what we saw in this game. No, I 226 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: don't know if I've ever seen a team that really 227 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,679 Speaker 1: puts their creativity in the run game like San Francisco. 228 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: We can talk about Baltimore, and Baltimore is very creative, 229 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: but what the San Francisco forty nine is are doing, 230 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: especially to um I guess the football world, are people 231 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: that really dig into it so creative. You see a 232 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: team go from zone based schemes where everyone's running on 233 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: tracks inside and outside zone, to gap schemes where they're 234 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: pulling guards and trapping and kicking out defenders, to uh 235 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: some of the end a rounds and the reverses. The 236 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: creativity that they use in the run game makes them 237 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: fun even though they're old school, smashed mouth team. And 238 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: I think the guy who gets a lot of credits 239 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel, who does a great job of helping and 240 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: coordinating the run game, and he was a guy that, look, 241 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 1: this group was altogether like Kyle Shanahan, Mike McDaniel, They 242 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: worked under Mike Patton, and I felt like they had 243 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 1: some of the answers to the test and I think 244 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,839 Speaker 1: it it kind of showed up anytime you're able to 245 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 1: run for two or so yards, like you just don't 246 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: see that National Football League, And so it's a credit 247 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: to that. I also think there's gonna be a lot 248 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 1: of people that kind of take what the forty nine 249 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,199 Speaker 1: is were able to do with a handful of backs 250 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: that were either undrafted or picked up off the scrap 251 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: heep and think that you can find running backs anywhere. Yes, 252 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 1: you can find running backs anywhere if you have a 253 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: talented offensive line and if you have a great play 254 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: designer that enables those guys to elevate their game. If 255 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: you don't have that, then you need to have a 256 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: talented runner that can elevate the players in front of 257 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 1: him or the scheme. And so what general managers and 258 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: folks have to do is they have to be able 259 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: to scout the coaches and knew exactly what they have 260 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: and how the field those things in. And I think 261 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 1: in San Francisco you have the perfect storm and marriage 262 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: between scheme, play caller and running back that running backs 263 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: that run a certain style that fits to skip And 264 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: think about that, going all the way back to Kyle 265 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: Shanahan's dad, think about Mike Shanahan, think about the trade. 266 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 1: Remember Clinton portis for Champ Bailey because in that system 267 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: and the Shanahan system that does work. It's an elite, elite, 268 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: elite system where they're able to take guys one cut runners, 269 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: decisive runners. There's a particular style that fits well in 270 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: that scheme. So you could have a guy in Clinton 271 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 1: Porters was a special special player there. We'll get a 272 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: big time corner in here because we can find out 273 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,599 Speaker 1: the backs. Yeah, and that's the thing. And now the 274 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: difference was like when you talk about Clinton Porters and 275 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: other guys, that special runner can put you in that 276 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 1: fifteen seventeen or like a TD two thousand, whereas an 277 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 1: average runner may gets you a thousand to eleven hundred. 278 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: It's a difference though, there's a difference in doing it, 279 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,439 Speaker 1: but look, it can be effective. And then because a 280 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: lot would be made about Jimmy Garoppolo only having eight attempts, 281 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,319 Speaker 1: I think the beauty of having a franchise quarterback or 282 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 1: quarterbacks that you love as a QB one is I 283 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: like to have him, but I don't necessarily need him 284 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: to be at his best every game. So he's a 285 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: luxury item for the San Francisco forty nines because when 286 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 1: the run game is going, they don't necessarily need to 287 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: just call passes just to call passes, and so I 288 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 1: think is the perfect way to build a team. They're 289 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: dominant upfront on both sides of the ball, but man, 290 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 1: their offense is really really fun to watch when you 291 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: think about all the hybrid pieces that they have and 292 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 1: you check in, uh, George Kittle, you know, think about 293 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,439 Speaker 1: this thought real quick with Shanahan Hills thinking about this, Um, 294 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: he's gonna go up against Andy Reid. We'll talk about 295 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: that matchup here in a minute, but um, think about 296 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: Andy Reid having good quarterbacks. I'd say McNabb was a 297 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 1: really good quarterback. I don't think he's a Hall of 298 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: Fame quarterback, but look at the success he had with 299 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: the good quarterbacks throughout his entire career. You go Alex 300 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 1: Smith there in Kansas City, good quarterbacks and Andy Reid 301 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: lauded as one of the best play callers, offensive genius, 302 00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: scoring a lot of points. And then all of a 303 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: sudden you draw up an elite quarterback with Patrick Mahomes 304 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: and look at what they've been able to do in 305 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 1: Kansas City. The scary thing is as young as Kyle 306 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: Shanahan is. At some point in time, Buck, he's gonna 307 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: have somebody a lot better than Jimmy Garoppolo. And as 308 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: good as this looks right now at the forty niners, 309 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 1: wait till he gets an elite level quarterback in that system. 310 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, that's the thing, and that's when 311 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 1: you really see the game going. That's when you begin 312 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: to have a level of dominance. So we think about 313 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: what the New England Pages have been able to do. 314 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: It's not a coincidence that they've had an elite quarterback 315 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: play with them in the same system, get get better, 316 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: and he understands how to do it. And so yes, 317 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 1: you're right when the San Francisco forty nine is getting 318 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: an elite playmaker at that position to go with the 319 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 1: running game, or even imagine San Francisco fort none is 320 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: getting an elite running back like a dominant run, like 321 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: that fist, that style what they can do. So all 322 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: things are training up obviously for San Francisco forty nine. 323 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: All right, Well, we've got a couple of Packer fans 324 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: in the room here. They might want to plug their ears. 325 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 1: What's your takeaway for the Packers? The Packers are not 326 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: ready for the big time. Jones hold on back second 327 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 1: down in five San Francisco Niners, showing the let's man 328 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: the outside. The snap was fumbled and now the Niners 329 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: have it. You got it pulled back from center. I 330 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: don't know what happened then, and the Lighters recovering at 331 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: the Green Bay twenty At the San Francisco twenty six, 332 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: the forest Pucker comes up with her. So we said 333 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: it all year. The Green Bay Packers team was one 334 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: that was interesting to watch. This is a team that 335 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: I mean, look you when third team wins during the 336 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: regular season, uh you in the first playoff game. But 337 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: they still felt like there was something missing when you 338 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: compare them to some of the other teams that were 339 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: in the tournament, and I think what we saw against 340 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 1: San Francisco forty, all of their flaws, all of their 341 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: wars were exposed. This was a team that had trouble 342 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: stopping and run when teams committed to running at them. 343 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: And offensively, they didn't have many explosive weapons outside of 344 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: Aaron Jones and Davante Adams, but when you play in 345 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 1: these championship level games, you have to have more weapons 346 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: because you gotta have more punches. You gotta be able 347 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: to really throw some haymay kers. And what I saw 348 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 1: was a team that didn't have a lot on offense. 349 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: When it came to punches. Aaron Rodgers didn't have many 350 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: places to go to. He couldn't he couldn't find a 351 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: playmaker that could really take over the game outside of 352 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: Davante Adams, and that showed up. And then defensively, the 353 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: way that they were absolutely dominated at the point of attack, 354 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 1: I think is one. It's an area of concern because 355 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: they have to figure out a way to be able 356 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: to deal with these teams they have run at them 357 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: because everyone is going to run at them given the 358 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: success that some teams have had. I thought it was 359 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: interesting with last week we went through the kind of 360 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: the championship foundation pieces and we thought it looked a 361 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: little bit lopsided when we looked at that right with 362 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: the forty niners and the Packers, and that's really kind 363 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: of what showed out there. Um, they need a third guy. 364 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: You've got the running back. Um you've got the receiver, 365 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: Davante Adams. They need a third and fourth option. They 366 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: need more firepower. To use the word that you just 367 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: use their buck. They have a good offensive line. It's 368 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: not it's not at the level of the forty niners, 369 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 1: but a good group. Um. I think finding them finding 370 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 1: a tight end that could help on the run game 371 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: a little bit more than somebody like Jimmy Graham, who's 372 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,639 Speaker 1: not gonna have any impact. They're Mercedes Lewis there, old guys. 373 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: They're solid run block, but they don't have a two 374 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: way tight end. So getting a tight end that can 375 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: do a little bit of everything, getting another explosive playmaker 376 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: on the outside, and you go to the defensive side 377 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 1: of the ball, the second level of defense, and just 378 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,719 Speaker 1: get me more athletic. They're just not athletics now, not 379 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: athletic enough. And I think you made this point, and 380 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: we talked about I came here. If we made it 381 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: on the podcast or probably speech shows up the speed 382 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: that we've seen both winners can see the Chiefs they 383 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: win the fastest teams that we've seen league, particularly on offense. 384 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 1: You look at the San Francisco Ford and nine is 385 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,679 Speaker 1: the way that the speed shows up for them. And 386 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 1: then the defensive front, the linebackers can athletic, and so 387 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: the model that you have to have like, yeah, when 388 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 1: we talk about traits like traits matter, you have to 389 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: have a fast team, and we talked about it, and 390 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: I think you've talked about it in terms of building 391 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: a team, like we've heard all these guys come on 392 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: our thing and talk about urgent athletes or explosive players. 393 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,400 Speaker 1: You have to accumulate enough explosive players to be able 394 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 1: to create uh big plays. They also create turnovers because 395 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: the speed and the athleticism allows you to get your 396 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 1: hands on the ball. And so I think the Green 397 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 1: Bay Packers need to continue to stockpile explosive players to 398 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 1: play baker and physical upfront, fast everywhere else. That's kind 399 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: of the formulas just what it is. You gotta be 400 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: a fast team if you want to be able to 401 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,199 Speaker 1: compete against the big boys. All right, let's get to 402 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 1: this uh super Bowl match up here a little quick 403 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 1: early look at it and uh and one of the 404 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 1: points we're keeping an eye on, I'll start here my 405 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: first one, and that is like the forty Niners defense 406 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 1: is uniquely equipped to play against this Kansas City Chiefs offense. 407 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,119 Speaker 1: And the reason I say that buck is is because 408 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 1: when you look at this defense, they can rush for 409 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:40,639 Speaker 1: you know, we saw we talked about the Titans only 410 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,439 Speaker 1: rush and three couldn't get home, bad strategy. Well you 411 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 1: look at at the San Francisco forty Niners. They can 412 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,880 Speaker 1: rush for they can get home against everybody they play. 413 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:49,400 Speaker 1: They find a way to get home with four, which 414 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,880 Speaker 1: designates more bodies to the back end where you can 415 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 1: put more attention on Kelsey and Tyreek Hill try and 416 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,399 Speaker 1: take those guys away. And then you talk about being 417 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,120 Speaker 1: able to rush forward. Then you look at that second level, 418 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,919 Speaker 1: look at the speed they have at lineback where Mahomes 419 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: wants to take off and go. Guys like Fred Warner, 420 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: Kwan Alexander they can suck him up and hurry. Yeah. 421 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 1: I mean this, this is a team that is definitely 422 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 1: built to play the Kansas City Chiefs. When we just 423 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,399 Speaker 1: look at their defense, you talk about being able to 424 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,360 Speaker 1: throw out five and six d lineman that can get 425 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: after it. And it's very important because the rotation that 426 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 1: they have, because they don't tire out, they can just 427 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,880 Speaker 1: kind of relentlessly come after Pat Mahomes. That is going 428 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: to be critical second level defenders Um Kwan Alexander drink greenberry. 429 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 1: Then you talk about Fred Warner all of those guys 430 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 1: can run, that can cover. They specialize in making these 431 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: big hits and then the secondary they have a secondary 432 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 1: is not as fast, but they're very, very smart and 433 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,679 Speaker 1: in this scheme, they really understand where they fit. It 434 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 1: is rare to see them give up big plays. And 435 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: if you think about keeping the ball in front and 436 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: being able to hunt with those hunters in front and 437 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 1: gives them a very good opportunity. You know, the one 438 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: thing I would be nervous about is if you just 439 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 1: look at the game against New Orleans Saints, a game 440 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 1: that they wont one on the road, fit conditions right 441 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: indoors and the dome, and the forty Niners gave up 442 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,239 Speaker 1: a bunch of yards a bunch of points in that game. Now, 443 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,199 Speaker 1: they're healthier now than they were at that point in time, 444 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: and they're gonna get even more healthy having some rest 445 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 1: here before the Super Bowl. But I guarantee you that 446 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: is a tape that Gandy Reid is studying very closely. 447 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: You gotta go right to that game. You have to 448 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,120 Speaker 1: go right to the game because you want to see 449 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: why were they running And there were a couple of 450 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 1: games where they gave up some points and you saw 451 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: some things to come up. And you know the thing 452 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,640 Speaker 1: about the Chiefs, Um, I wonder how much of that 453 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 1: can be duplicated. Some of the stuff from New Orleans 454 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: definitely can because New Orleans is still more of a 455 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 1: pass heavy team. But it will be interesting to see 456 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 1: how they approach uh this game because defensively, I don't 457 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 1: know if they can slow down to forty Niners run game. Uh. 458 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,719 Speaker 1: The run game that the forty Niners present is problematic 459 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: because they can crease you with the zone game. They 460 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: also have the ability to use the gap schemes where 461 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 1: the pulling guards and tackles and all that stuff. So 462 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: Kancy chief defense has to stand up, and they play 463 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 1: well against Derrick Henry, but this is a different style 464 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:57,880 Speaker 1: run game they have to defend. That kind of leads 465 00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 1: right into your point here on the Kansas City side 466 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 1: of things, the Chiefs must win on offense, and so 467 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 1: we we made a comparison ABOYU the kN City Chiefs 468 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 1: being like the Golden State Warriors. And the reason why 469 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,479 Speaker 1: I kind of want to make that parallel is because 470 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: they can play so good on the offense that it 471 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 1: really makes their defense a non factor. They can put 472 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: pressure on you by being able to score points quickly 473 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 1: and in a hurry, and they can throw you out 474 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: of your game, get you out of your style. We 475 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: saw it everyday seven a couple of big players, they're 476 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: right back in and before you know it, the game 477 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: completely flips in their direction. I think in this game 478 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 1: one of the things that I would look for, and 479 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: they haven't used it a lot. I would look for 480 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 1: them to play with more pace and more tempo. I'm 481 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 1: not saying that they go know how to hurry up, 482 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: but I think they should play fast to see if 483 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 1: they can tire out that defensive front. What we've been 484 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:49,439 Speaker 1: able to see for the forty nine is they've been 485 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 1: been rotate guys and keep them fresh. No one has 486 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 1: necessarily kept them in the ring and made them go 487 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: the full or five minute round. I would like to 488 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: see Kansas City and Andy Reid pushed the pace, push 489 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 1: the tempo a little bit, see if they can wear 490 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: them out so later in the game that pass rush 491 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: peters out. Then you see Pat Mahomes really begin to explode. 492 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: I think that is the target for Andy Reid. Is 493 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 1: is trying to figure out what do I do with 494 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,160 Speaker 1: this front? And I think you mentioned the pace can 495 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,399 Speaker 1: do it. Andy reads the master of the screen. So 496 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 1: you're gonna get screen those guys a little bit because 497 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,440 Speaker 1: a little hesitation in their rush, and I think you 498 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: all see them move the pocket with Mahomes a little bit. 499 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: So make those guys run, Make those guys run, and 500 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 1: then the run game. Get that run game going to 501 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: the perimeter and make these tired these dudes out. Yeah, 502 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: that had a been the thing because he hasn't been 503 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: a guy that has been committed to the running. He 504 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,399 Speaker 1: doesn't have to. We're not saying that he has to 505 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,160 Speaker 1: run times. He has to run it enough to just 506 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: make them respect it so Pat Mahomes can continue to 507 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: do his deal. But you're right, sideline the sideline. We've 508 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 1: seen them use the screen game. We've seen him use 509 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: a lot of those college concepts. In college, they talk 510 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 1: about making guys run, latterly, run from numbers to numbers, 511 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 1: them out early in the game. I want to stress. 512 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 1: I want to put so much stress on them that 513 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: we can tire them out and then put the ball 514 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 1: and Pat Mahome's hands in the second half and see 515 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: if he can take advantage of them. Oh, no doubt. 516 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 1: A lot of other angles will get to With the 517 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 1: Super Bowl here, plenty of time to discuss it. Man. 518 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: Some great matchups to how about you know in the 519 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: run game, George Kittle, Frank Clarkman. There's a ton of 520 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 1: great intriguing matchups to keep an eye on. But before 521 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 1: the Super there's the Senior We've got the Senior Bowl 522 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 1: down here in Mobile, Alabama. Buck. And if you're looking 523 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 1: forward to one thing this week other than a lot 524 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: of fried food, what is it? Man? I'm looking forward 525 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: to the pass catchers. And the reason I'm looking forward 526 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 1: to the pass catchers is just coming off the heels 527 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 1: of the NFC Championship game and looking at the contribution 528 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,880 Speaker 1: that Deebo Samuel was able to make. I think more 529 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,159 Speaker 1: guys now are confident that some of the stuff that 530 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 1: we see on the practice field will carry over to 531 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: how people perform in games. And so we talked about 532 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: the class. Uh Michael Pittman Jr. Van Jefferson, Devin de 533 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 1: verne Um you from Arizona State's one of my favorites. Like, 534 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 1: there are some physical playmakers that in this game that 535 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,919 Speaker 1: should be able to make immediate contributions. I want to 536 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: see if they're able to die aminate on the practice 537 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,120 Speaker 1: field this week and then see if we can project 538 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,920 Speaker 1: how those guys may play as pros. It's been it's 539 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 1: been a really valuable evaluating tool because wide receivers haven't 540 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: been exposed to a lot of routes. Um that they're 541 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:14,959 Speaker 1: gonna get a chance to run this week. Deebo Samuel 542 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 1: perfect example. Somebody that didn't do a lot of that 543 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,159 Speaker 1: at South Carolina showed during this week of practice. He 544 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: was uncoverable. Remember him and Rocky Sin great matchup, great 545 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:26,680 Speaker 1: battles last year. Offensive linemen. Some of these guys um 546 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 1: in terms of you know, vertical sets, they've been doing 547 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 1: things differently than they're gonna be asked to do this week. 548 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: It's just pro style coaching. Um, it's a great, great 549 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,400 Speaker 1: evaluation tool. Small school players. Um, a guy like Kyle 550 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 1: Dugger from from Lenore, Ryan get a chance to see 551 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 1: him go up against you know, bigger school players. So, uh, 552 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: those opportunities are huge. Yeah, they're great, terrific opportunities for 553 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: those guys. It's funny that you bring up Kyle dougga 554 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 1: because this is an opportunity for small school guys to 555 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,239 Speaker 1: really stand out. We can talk about the visit with him. 556 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: By the way, I'm looking forward to that. Yeah, we 557 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: can talk about the NFL p A game in the 558 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: East West rhyaning game. But there's something about to see 559 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 1: in your bowl when you get an opportunity to see 560 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,879 Speaker 1: some of the top talent to send on Mobile Alabama 561 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: and compete against one another. If you're a small school 562 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,160 Speaker 1: standout who can hold your own in this game, it 563 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: gives you an opportunity to not only get drafted I 564 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 1: but it potentially played well in the National Football League. 565 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 1: We saw that who was at Ali Marprett who came 566 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,880 Speaker 1: down here absolutely and has success. So look, we've seen 567 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,159 Speaker 1: a number of small school standouts have success and it 568 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 1: was kind of the launching pad of the NFL careers. 569 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: We'll see if we can find some of those guys 570 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,640 Speaker 1: show out here. All right, last thing, and uh, we'll 571 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 1: wrap this thing up. Did you bring an extra beanie? 572 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 1: Because I didn't bring one on my freak. I didn't. 573 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 1: I checked the weather, but you know, I may be 574 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 1: subduced because sometimes the California weather, California sixty maybe a 575 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 1: little different than Alabama sixty.
