Yeah, you talked about back in Buffalo 166 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: people you know, he's the guy they've thrown out of 167 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: the Bill, and he was spitting at the fans and 168 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: he just vilified giving him the double gun salute everything 169 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: he was vilified in Buffalo and now you can laugh 170 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: at it. Yeah, but he's coaching young guys and tell 171 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: him how to handle him, you know what I mean. 172 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: He's a kind of a mentor and he's a much different, 173 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: much different. He's a much different guy now than he 174 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: of course is a player. It was that's amazing to 175 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: think about. But I've run across him a couple of 176 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: times in my work and he's a different. And it's 177 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: funny because all these players that are now coaching, all 178 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: the years that they play, they see how coaches are 179 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: and they get there they try to get their philosophy 180 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: of how they coach, right. Um, and obviously Marv's philosophy 181 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: was a lot different than anybody else's. And uh um, 182 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: do you get I get a lot of guys that 183 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: are former coaches, are former players that are now coaches. 184 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: They look at the young players and they kind of realized, 185 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: oh man, I was it was me right, And they're 186 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: like shaking their headlight? Was what was I thinking? Any times? 187 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: Was I thinking? It's really? It's really an eye opening experience, 188 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: and then there's something for for former players like us 189 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 1: to get to these kids. Because of all this stuff 190 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: that's happened in social media this it's hard to get 191 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 1: to these players now. UM. I think the only way 192 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: you can get to them maybe is in a in 193 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: a setting like this at a Super Bowl or at 194 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 1: you know, a big setting where all these guys are. Um, 195 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: because obviously when we played, we were on our own 196 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: little world and they're in our own little world too, 197 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 1: So it's just a different kid with Pro Football Hall 198 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: of Famer Andre Reid who joins us here at the 199 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Um, even though you are stationed un on 200 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: the West Coast, live on the West Coast, I know 201 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: you followed Bills closely and you were there for really 202 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: maybe the best day of the year. The game was 203 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: not the greatest, but the number of retirement ceremony for 204 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: Thurman Thomas was amazing, right and amazing. Have you ever 205 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,199 Speaker 1: seen the stadium look better than it did that night? Wow? 206 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 1: It was Yeah, it was filled up. Obviously we played 207 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: the Patriots and that's always Uh. I didn't go well, 208 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 1: Miami used to be the big game right there, but uh, 209 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: you know what a special time for Thurman and his 210 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 1: family that dad happened for him. The Bills did a 211 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,719 Speaker 1: great job of putting that together. And to see all 212 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: the guys, you know, they had the Legends community there 213 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: that week and see all the guys there.

I I lobby for Isaac Bruce 249 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: because I'm not saying because he's a receiver, but you know, 250 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: here's a guy that has waited long enough too and 251 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 1: his stats are still up there.

Where did those 330 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: twenty five years question for you about the Bills you 331 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 1: watched them this year a little bit, Yes, sir um. 332 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: They were in desperate need of playmakers at receiver. Did 333 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 1: you see that? Did you have any thoughts on that? 334 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: What they were trying what the struggles they had trying 335 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: to get their pass I love josh Man. Yeah, that 336 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: kid is such a such a baller and such a 337 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: It's what that team needs. Yeah, And obviously I think 338 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: the organization knows that they got the quarterback they they 339 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: they picked, and he showed a lot of not only character, 340 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: he showed a lot of grit. You know, during the 341 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 1: middle of the season, he's running around, jumping over people, 342 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: doing all that kind of stuff. That's you don't see 343 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: that too much out of a quarterback. And I think 344 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: obviously we I think we got our core back. Now 345 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 1: it's up to the organization to get those playmakers on 346 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 1: both sides of him. Whether or not Shady's gonna be back, 347 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: I don't know. Um, I think we need a running back, obviously, 348 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 1: we need a We need a big play receiver, yeah, 349 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: and I think that'll make a difference on offense. You 350 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 1: know what strikes me about a big play receiver and 351 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: people think of Julio Jones or or a J Green 352 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: or somebody, But you came kind of unheralded as a 353 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 1: fourth rounder right from little Pennsylvania State School. Yeah, nobody 354 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: expected you to Let's face it, did you expect to 355 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: be a Hall of Famer when you were drafting in 356 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: the fourth round? So you can get to my point. 357 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: You can get a receiver in a lot of places. 358 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: You don't have to have a top five Antonio Brown 359 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: was a fifth round Yeah. Yeah, you're right, and it 360 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: only takes one guy. I mean, what's the number nine? 361 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: What's the name Foster? Robert Foster? Oh, that kid's a 362 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: good player. He's a good player. Yeah and undrafted. Yeah, 363 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: there you go, so get a bunch of those. Look 364 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: at the Patriots roster. Yeah, there ain't too many guys 365 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: that are first rounders, right that there was. Those are 366 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: guys that are fifth rounders, fourth rounds, fifth, sixth rounders, um. 367 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 1: And they just believe in the system and they they 368 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,640 Speaker 1: got number twelve back there. Yeah. Yeah. Play playing football 369 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: is a lot more than physical. Man. It's a complicated game, 370 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 1: and the better you handle the complications and the nuances, 371 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,120 Speaker 1: the better you play your plays. Yep, you just said, 372 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 1: look at the Patriots faster. Look at both of these teams. 373 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,160 Speaker 1: Who do you like this week? How this game will 374 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 1: play out on Sunday? Patriots and Rams? Well, I mean, wow, 375 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,439 Speaker 1: if it's anything like they've been scoring points all year. Um, 376 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 1: it could be a you know, forty point game on 377 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 1: both sides. Um. It really as far as the Rams go, 378 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: they again, it's it's all about their defensive pressure. You know, 379 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: they're they're gonna they're gonna double team Aaron Donald. So 380 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,919 Speaker 1: somebody else has to step up and make plays, and 381 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,919 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald's gonna get his place. But obviously that's a 382 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: big concern for you know, the Patriots offense. Um, and 383 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: they got to tackle. If you looked at a lot 384 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: of their games of Patriots play, tackling was really important. 385 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: You know, get there's a first down if you tackle there. 386 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:07,919 Speaker 1: It's it sounds, it sounds basics, but great teams tackle well. Yeah, 387 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 1: and the first guy in the ball makes the play, 388 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: and the guy doesn't shake off a tackle and run 389 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: for twenty five ye and don't make the mistake. I 390 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 1: can not only cause you the game because the Patriots 391 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,879 Speaker 1: are great a capitalizing on everybody's mistake. You expect the 392 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,360 Speaker 1: Patriots to win. I expect them to win. I do, 393 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: and I'm sorry to hear that. Do I want them 394 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 1: to win? Do I want them to win? No? No, listen, 395 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,120 Speaker 1: I'm with you, man, I don't want them done betting 396 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,199 Speaker 1: against him. I love Tom and all that and Robert, 397 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:36,360 Speaker 1: but I don't I don't want you guys. Yeah, one 398 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: last question for you. We're right next door to a 399 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: radio group from San Diego, and I can't help but 400 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: still feel bad about I know the Chargers are playing 401 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: well on the field, but and you're a San Diego resident, Yeah, 402 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,399 Speaker 1: it just stinks that the Chargers aren't down there anymore. Right, 403 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: do you feel it as an NFL guy and a 404 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 1: San Diego resident, and and there's a lot of fans 405 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: that aren't Charger fans anymore. Yeah, that's what they were telling. 406 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 1: And I don't know if that if Buffalo left Buffalo, 407 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 1: you think you think fans in Buffalo would just say, Okay, 408 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:01,959 Speaker 1: I'm not going to be a Buffalo fan no more. 409 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 1: What I do. I don't think they moved. I don't 410 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,440 Speaker 1: think Bill fans should stay with it. I just are 411 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: not moving, by the way. I just think that's a 412 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: Buffalo is such a blue collar town that there. It's 413 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,160 Speaker 1: just a different kind of fan there. Yeah, san Diego, 414 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: you know they go to the beach. It's one of 415 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 1: those things you don't want to find out it's not 416 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,400 Speaker 1: whatever city and what's possible a couple of years back. Yeah, 417 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: you don't want to you don't want to find out 418 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: it no matter what you city you're in and and 419 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 1: it's uh. But it does seem like now the Bill's 420 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,879 Speaker 1: roots are even deeper than they were when they were, 421 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: you know, founded there. So they're upgrading. You should see 422 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 1: the they're upgrade in the facility. They really you should 423 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: see the place from room sleep pods for Steve recovery 424 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 1: recovery rooms. We were to have have used a bunch of 425 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 1: oas recovery. You're always in need of recovery, guys. I'm right. 426 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 1: It is great to see you got Hall of Famer 427 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: Andre Reid guest here at the Super Bowl. John Murphy, 428 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: Steve Tasker, coming to you live from Super Bowl fifty three. 429 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 1: Twitter Poll today. You're very proud out of your Twitter 430 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: poll today, Steve, you would made fun of the efforts 431 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 1: to get a Twitter poll goal in the last couple 432 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,880 Speaker 1: of days, and so we turned it came through. Well, 433 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: we'll see if you take me all of thirty seconds, 434 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: come up with this one. It's the best one of 435 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 1: the week. Twitter Poll just three days away now from 436 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: Super Bowl fifty three if the Patriots went on Sunday. 437 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:21,120 Speaker 1: Who will be the MVP. Here's where Steve's genius came 438 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: into play. Who will be the MVP? Who's it gonna 439 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 1: be Tom Brady or the field? The rest of them. 440 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,160 Speaker 1: I'm fifty three New England Patriots. You'll get a chance 441 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: to pick fifty two of them as your potential MVP 442 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: or Tom Brady. Who would you pick Tom Brady? You 443 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,880 Speaker 1: would pick Tom Brady along with him. We were gonna 444 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 1: give me Tom Brady and a couple of other choices 445 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: like Gronkowski or the running back White. But you know 446 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: I said, no, it's gonna be Brady or Mate, and 447 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 1: you gotta take the field. So that's what I did. 448 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: And it's a because you gotta think Brady is not 449 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: the quarterback he was, and this is a taking the field. 450 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: I'm I'm taking Brady, I'm taking the field. I'm taking. Yes. 451 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 1: I think it's a good pole because you can make 452 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: a really strong argument for the rest of the field 453 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: because of where Brady is in his career and how 454 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: he plays. He's not gonna care if he has to 455 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,640 Speaker 1: hand it off forty five times. Um, He's not gonna care. 456 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 1: If he throws the Gronkowski fifteen times and Gronk has 457 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: his huge game, or Edelman or any of the other guys. 458 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 1: Brady's an unselfish guy. He just wants to win. He 459 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: won't care that MVP doesn't mean anything to him. So 460 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 1: I think there is a good chance that one of 461 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: the other players on the roster will emerge and be 462 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 1: the guy. Because you know that the Patriots are going 463 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: to have a specific plan for this specific game, and 464 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 1: it's gonna feature somebody we don't expect, and yet you 465 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,400 Speaker 1: would pick Brady. I think so. Okay, I think so. 466 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: On the Twitter poll, fifty seven percent of respond and say, Brady, 467 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 1: if the Patriots win, will be the MVP four because 468 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: I don't know what their plan's gonna on either. You know, 469 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,399 Speaker 1: I'm just saying that you got a better chance to 470 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: win this by picking the field the other fifty two players. Yeah, 471 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 1: I think somebody. It could be a defender, It could 472 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 1: be could be a Malcolm Butler type of guy, you 473 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: know what I mean, jumping in and picking that playoff 474 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: in the last minute, having a good game and then 475 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 1: doing that to seal the win. You're making all the 476 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,360 Speaker 1: arguments for the field, and yet you're penning ready. I'm 477 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,640 Speaker 1: just trying to say, here's why. You know why I'm 478 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,679 Speaker 1: doing that, because it's I'll tell you why. I can 479 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:19,159 Speaker 1: tell you right now because right now the percentages on 480 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,919 Speaker 1: our Twitter poll are fifty seven. I want those to 481 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: be fifty fifty. See, I want my poll to be really, 482 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,639 Speaker 1: really even, so it'll be even better. So I'm making 483 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,919 Speaker 1: all the arguments on the lower now though, And if 484 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: it was the opposite, I'd be making him for Tom Brady. 485 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,400 Speaker 1: What do you think both in our Twitter poll? If 486 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 1: the Patriots win, who would be the MVP? Tom Brady 487 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 1: or the field the rest of the Patriots? Let us 488 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: know what you think or give us a call eight 489 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: oh three oh five fifty and toll free one eight 490 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty two discuss a 491 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 1: lot of discussion about the Super Bowl coming up on 492 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,239 Speaker 1: today's show. We've got Great Cosell joining us at one 493 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 1: o'clock for his usual breakdown and got one game to 494 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: break down this week. We'll talk with Greg about that. 495 00:22:58,080 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 1: Brian Billick, who won a Super Bowl with a Raven 496 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 1: eighteen years ago.

Yeah, 499 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: I did just real briefly as seas potential Hall of Famer. Yes, 500 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: he's yeah, he's a finalist. He's on the road and 501 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 1: and no, I'll tell you this true. Um, we just 502 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,159 Speaker 1: spoke to Andrea about the Hall of Fame. And you know, 503 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 1: all these guys have their resume that they bring to 504 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 1: the table. And the one criticism that Tony has had 505 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: is that he didn't play long enough. Seven years seven 506 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: years now. There are certainly Hall of Famers who have 507 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: played less than that who are in. Not too many, 508 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 1: but there are some. Uh, And he was do you 509 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:36,880 Speaker 1: want when he comes in here? I mean, you see 510 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 1: why the guy played left tackle. He's six feet eight 511 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 1: inches tallway three twenty. He's still the exact same guy 512 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: who was when he played. He didn't have a lot, 513 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,160 Speaker 1: but he did have memorable matchups against Bruce Smith, right, Yeah, 514 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 1: not often, but he was so he's so immense. He 515 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: was a he was a dominant left tack he was 516 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 1: really difficult to rush on. He's great athlete who had 517 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 1: great mobility and all that. And he retired because his 518 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: shoulders started to give out. Yeah. Um, he remember he 519 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,439 Speaker 1: was in the U I l asking about this too. 520 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,199 Speaker 1: He was in the expansion draft from Jacksonville to the 521 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 1: Houston Texans at the air inception, and that's what led 522 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,439 Speaker 1: to his retirement. He decided. I don't know whether he 523 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: flunked the physical I think he did, or he just decided, 524 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: you know what I'm gonna I'm gonna call it quit. 525 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,919 Speaker 1: Sonny Baselli joins us at two and Yes, Sean O'Hara 526 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: the NFL Network.

Super Bowl forty two, Champ eleven years ago. 600 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 1: Can you believe it was that long? That happened? Fast? Yeah? Man, 601 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 1: like a blur, we got we got Yeah? Yeah, that 602 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,159 Speaker 1: was speaking it fast. Yes, it's hard to believe it 603 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,119 Speaker 1: was eleven years ago. And it's hard to believe that 604 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,399 Speaker 1: Brady is in another one. Yeah. With Belichick and everybody, 605 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: keep it's like eleven years later, we're still saying the 606 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 1: same thing, man, how do we stop these guys? How 607 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: do we slow them down? That's what people were saying 608 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 1: back in Super Bowl forty two about your Giants team 609 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 1: going up against team and you did that happened? What 610 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 1: do you remember about the Yeah, you know, it was 611 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 1: pretty remarkable performance by our defense. I mean they've in 612 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: fact that they held them to fourteen points on the 613 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 1: biggest game of the year. They were the number one 614 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: scoring offense. I mean, you had Randy Moss. This is 615 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 1: the year. They were undefeated coming into that game throughout 616 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 1: the playoffs, regular season. It was a historic season. So 617 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 1: and you guys, like you said, unbelievable game. It was 618 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 1: remarkable what they had done all season long, and they 619 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: had beat us in week seventeen, so we had already 620 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 1: gone up against them. It was a big game. It 621 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 1: was I think it was thirty five thirty three that 622 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:01,719 Speaker 1: we lost, so we kind of knew we could hang 623 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 1: with him, but you know, we just I really thought 624 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 1: that we were more physical than them. I thought offensively, 625 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: we got the ball first in that game. We went 626 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: down on a ten minute drive to start the Super Bowl. 627 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: We only got a field goal out of it, but man, 628 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 1: their tongues were hanging out. Vince Wilfork was sucking the 629 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 1: air out of my lungs because he was so gassed. 630 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 1: And I thought, hey, this is a great start. That's 631 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 1: exactly how you want to start the Super Bowl. And 632 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 1: you know, we ended the game with a twelve play drive. 633 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 1: So I think we had some some some big moments there, 634 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 1: but times where we really controlled the line of scrimmage 635 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,720 Speaker 1: up front, and then defensively we just got after him. 636 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 1: And I think the pressure on Tom. You know, that 637 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 1: was our mission statement. When Tom Coffin brought us in 638 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 1: Wednesday morning before the game, he said, if we're gonna 639 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 1: win this game. We've got to get the Brady. We 640 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 1: got a find way to hit him, knock him down, 641 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 1: disrupt him, and why Oc and Stray off the edge 642 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 1: did a great job, but we also moved Justin Tuck inside. 643 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 1: He was able to get a lot of pressure inside 644 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: against the guards. And then Jay Alford as well. He's 645 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: the one that got the big sack at the end 646 00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 1: that kind of sealed the deal. The Bill space of 647 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 1: Patriots twice. And it's never really about sacking Brady, is it. 648 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 1: It's about disrupting him, moving him a little bit. Huh Yeah, 649 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 1: you know, quarterbacks will tell you. Look, sacks don't hurt, 650 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 1: you know, because they go down and they can they 651 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 1: can brace for him. It's the pressures while they're throwing 652 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 1: that really hurt, those big hits, you know. I think 653 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 1: Buffalo did a great job this year. They had a 654 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 1: couple of interceptions I think against them. I think he 655 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 1: only threw one touchdown against them in two games, so 656 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 1: Buffalo actually, I mean they had a good game plan. 657 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 1: They did a good job kind of harassing him. But 658 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 1: if you just get him off the spot, I think 659 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 1: if Tom could sit back there with his feet set 660 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 1: and if he can pick and choose, he's one of 661 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 1: the most accurate quarterbacks in the history of the game. 662 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 1: He's throwing darts back there, so you've got to make 663 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 1: him move around and kind of try to add a 664 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 1: little variable that you can see and we can all picture. 665 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 1: We've seen Brady in these games nine times and plus 666 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: all the playoff games. Everybody has seen him play a 667 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: dozen times. You don't see him throw very well when 668 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 1: he's running, you know, and he doesn't run well. He's 669 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 1: never has he's he doesn't catch well when he's running either, right, 670 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 1: So he's not He's not a guy that moves around 671 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 1: and can throw it from odd angles in different platforms. 672 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 1: So that the thought is if you can get him 673 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 1: to try and throw off balance, literally off his balance 674 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 1: or off one foot or moving away from a rush 675 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 1: while he's on the move, that does seem to be 676 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 1: the key. But as always, the Patriots have a plan 677 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 1: for that. The ball either comes out too quick for 678 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 1: you to get there, or or they use play action 679 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 1: or something like that to get keep the defense off 680 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 1: of him. And yeah, that's They're facing a defense this 681 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 1: week in the Rams that may have the best defensive 682 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: tackle combination in all of football. I think that's a 683 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 1: plus for the Rams because that's key. Yeah, it is. 684 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 1: And and they've got to find a way. How are 685 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 1: they going to attack him? You know? Are they are 686 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 1: they gonna put Aaron Donald one on one over the 687 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 1: guard and just let him, you know, let him try 688 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 1: to reac havoc. But I think you mentioned Brady getting 689 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 1: the ball out. I think what's so impressive about the 690 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 1: way the Patriots do it is they do a lot 691 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 1: of play action, but the Tom Brady is still setting 692 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:49,720 Speaker 1: up in between behind the tackles. You know, he's not 693 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: rolling out. It's not like like you look at golf 694 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 1: and the Rams play action. It's his own scheme and 695 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 1: he's outside the pocket. They're moving the pocket. You know, 696 00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 1: it's a fake stretch and they'll roll him out on 697 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: naked bootlegs. They don't do a lot of that way, Tom, 698 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 1: But what he does do a great job of is 699 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 1: they sell that run so well. And when you look 700 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 1: at the offensive line, you know, I'd hate to be 701 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 1: a cameraman for the Patriots because you're always you're always 702 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 1: getting fooled. You know, you're thinking, oh man, it's a run. No, 703 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 1: it's not, he sells it. He puts the ball out 704 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 1: there for the defensive seat. They have to respect that. 705 00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 1: And then he comes up ready to throw. And I 706 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 1: think he's so good. He's trained his eyes so well 707 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 1: that even on plax and he comes up and he 708 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 1: knows where he's going, and he does such a good 709 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 1: job getting from his first and second and third read. 710 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,480 Speaker 1: That's one of the things that young quarterbacks have a 711 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 1: hard time doing. They can't get through them as quick. 712 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 1: And then on that third read, can you still be accurate? 713 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 1: That's why he's the greatest. Hey, Sean, what specific things 714 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 1: could could the Rams take from the Giants victory eleven 715 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 1: years ago in the Super Bowl against the Patriot team. 716 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 1: I know different teams, Patriots are vastly different than they 717 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 1: were back then, But what if you were advising the Rams, 718 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 1: would you say, hey, try this because it worked for us. Yeah. 719 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:50,960 Speaker 1: I think the first thing you've got to do is 720 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 1: you've gotta be efficient on first down. You know, the 721 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 1: Patriots run the ball sixty percent of the time on 722 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 1: first down, so there's no question when you come out there, 723 00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 1: it's Sony Michelle, Hey, they're running the rock. You gotta stop. 724 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 1: You can't let them get four in five yards and 725 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 1: now on second and five they've got all They've got 726 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 1: the whole play sheet. So if you can be efficient 727 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 1: on first down defensively, now you've given your pass rushers 728 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 1: the opportunity to get after the quarterback. You know, if 729 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 1: you're a second and two, third and two, it makes 730 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 1: it hard. So I think that's a big factor. You know. Look, 731 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 1: they I mentioned the guards. I think you've got to 732 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,240 Speaker 1: find a way to attack the center and the guards. 733 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 1: For the Patriots, Shack Mason and Joe Tuney have been 734 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 1: phenomenal all year long. Shack Mason given up one sack, 735 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 1: it was a week one. Joe Tuney has not given 736 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 1: up a sack all season. So those two guys have 737 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:38,480 Speaker 1: been phenomenal this year. You know, obviously you mentioned Dominicans 738 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 1: Wue how are they gonna play him? And Dominican's done 739 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 1: a lot of his damage outside. They've actually lined them 740 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 1: up over the right tackle and the left tackle and 741 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 1: on the same side with Aaron Donald. But do they 742 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 1: move him inside to try to create a little T 743 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,600 Speaker 1: T twist? I think you've got to find a way 744 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 1: to do that. And if you can't get home, get 745 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 1: your hands up. You almost get to the point now 746 00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 1: where we're eighteen years into this Patriots run, and if 747 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,959 Speaker 1: he took Tom Brady out of the equation and as 748 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 1: if he never existed, and he said, okay, what would 749 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 1: it take for a quarterback to be the goat right, 750 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,439 Speaker 1: the greatest of all time? Would it maybe be nine 751 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 1: super Bowls over eighteen years and five wins and and 752 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,720 Speaker 1: have all and have that kind of success? Would that say, 753 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:17,640 Speaker 1: would be a kind of a dream? Say, yeah, that 754 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 1: might do it? And then to put him back in 755 00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 1: is is there any doubt that he is the greatest 756 00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,840 Speaker 1: quarterback to have ever played? Not in my mind? You know. 757 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:27,920 Speaker 1: I mean there's crazy people out there though that that 758 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 1: may disagree, but it was trying. Yeah, there's always a debate. 759 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,319 Speaker 1: And they they thought that the Earth was flat at 760 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,880 Speaker 1: one point too, you know, there's always those Yeah, exactly, 761 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,200 Speaker 1: there's people who want to debate it, or I think 762 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,359 Speaker 1: just because they hate those guys so much, they don't 763 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: want to concede it. Yeah. You know, it's it's kind 764 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,439 Speaker 1: of like you know, someone saying, hey man, I'm tired 765 00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 1: of eating philem own. You know, I want a cheeseburger. 766 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 1: You know, people get tired of stuff, it doesn't make 767 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 1: any sense. But when you look at what Tom Brady 768 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:52,880 Speaker 1: has done, you look at Bill Belichick, it will never 769 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,880 Speaker 1: be duplicated, right because Tom Brady has been in the 770 00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:59,240 Speaker 1: same offense his entire career. Yeah, it was Charlie Weiss 771 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,759 Speaker 1: early on, and and you know Josh McDaniels, and but 772 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,719 Speaker 1: it's the same language, it's the same system. That just 773 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,800 Speaker 1: doesn't happen. You look around the league, look at the turnover, 774 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 1: look at the turnover with coaches, head coaches, coordinators. So 775 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,880 Speaker 1: the fact that they've had this success, a lot of 776 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 1: it to me is the continuity with the offense, the scheme, 777 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,040 Speaker 1: and what they're doing. I mean when they go when 778 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 1: they start the season, there is no they're not installing 779 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,160 Speaker 1: anything new. They're they're tweaking. How can we make this better? 780 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,400 Speaker 1: How can we they We've run this place so for 781 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:26,840 Speaker 1: so long out of this motion, and why don't we 782 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 1: what if we flip the motion and do it this way, 783 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 1: or why don't we add the running back go on 784 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,120 Speaker 1: this way? And they're they're just at such another level. 785 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 1: They're playing chess and everybody else's playing checkers. Yeah, but 786 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:38,040 Speaker 1: Shaun O'Hara, NFL Network analyst. In your pregame analysis of 787 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,560 Speaker 1: Sunday's game, you've with us here the last year minute 788 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:45,480 Speaker 1: you focused almost exclusively on what the Rams can do defensively, 789 00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,480 Speaker 1: What should they do offensively? What can the Rams do 790 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:49,319 Speaker 1: to move the ball to Sunday. Yeah, well, they've got 791 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 1: to stick to what got them there, and I think 792 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,480 Speaker 1: they they've been one of the best run blocking offensive 793 00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 1: lines and one of the best running offenses this year. 794 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 1: You look at what Todd Gurley has done. I mean 795 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 1: that zone scheme is really you know, that's how they 796 00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 1: butter their bread and everything is based off of that. 797 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:05,840 Speaker 1: Once that run game is working, now they're faking the 798 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 1: jet sweep, the play actions working off of that, and 799 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,000 Speaker 1: then they even get girly in the screen game. So 800 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 1: you know, they got away from that against the Saints 801 00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 1: in the NFC change the game because they were down 802 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,719 Speaker 1: thirteen to nothing, and I think that's not where they 803 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,160 Speaker 1: want to be. That's not their comfort zone. So if 804 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,040 Speaker 1: they could stick with that limited those negative runs, I 805 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,680 Speaker 1: think their offensive line has been phenomenal. Roger Staffeld, the 806 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 1: left guard, has been great all year long. He's been 807 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,279 Speaker 1: one of the best guards in the NFL, and they 808 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,399 Speaker 1: do such a great job of getting that defense moving 809 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,160 Speaker 1: and find an increase. So I think they've got to 810 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,759 Speaker 1: find a way to do that. But the biggest thing 811 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,239 Speaker 1: with the Patriots is they do a great job not 812 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,719 Speaker 1: giving up the big play, and the Rams have been 813 00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:45,359 Speaker 1: the most explosive offense this entire season. Big plays. Whether 814 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,280 Speaker 1: it's Brandon Cooks, whether it's Robert Woods and Josh Reynolds 815 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,520 Speaker 1: is stepped in there. They find a way to get 816 00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:54,240 Speaker 1: those big chunk plays. You can't count on that against 817 00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,480 Speaker 1: the Patriots in this and the Super Bowl. So you've 818 00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,000 Speaker 1: got to be able to string together ten and twelve 819 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,879 Speaker 1: play drives. Back is solid. Defensive, they're they're they're pretty good. 820 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,399 Speaker 1: I mean, they've had some times where they've gotten beat 821 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,439 Speaker 1: you know. I mean we saw, you know, we saw 822 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,680 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers take advantage of Gilmore in an old double 823 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,080 Speaker 1: move early on, but then they clamped them down. I mean, 824 00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:12,920 Speaker 1: when you look at what they did, they've shut down 825 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,759 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, they basically shut down Keenan Allen. So they 826 00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:17,400 Speaker 1: do they always have a great game plan for how 827 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,040 Speaker 1: they're gonna try to take away what you do best. 828 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,840 Speaker 1: I mean, I could still visualize Bill Belichick telling his defense, 829 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,120 Speaker 1: hey make them beat us with manning him. You know, 830 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,200 Speaker 1: he said, don't let them throw to Nick's. We're gonna 831 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,640 Speaker 1: take cruise away inside. So they're gonna have to find 832 00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,319 Speaker 1: somebody else. I think Golf knows that McVey knows that 833 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,600 Speaker 1: they're gonna try to take away Brandon Cooks. They're gonna 834 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,279 Speaker 1: try to find a way, So I think Robert Woods 835 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:37,919 Speaker 1: could end up having a big game. Do you think 836 00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:41,120 Speaker 1: mcveigh's gonna have to fight against the temptation to do 837 00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,799 Speaker 1: something different? Offensively? They run so much three wide, one 838 00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:47,879 Speaker 1: type one back. It was almost ninety five percent plus 839 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,080 Speaker 1: of their formation. The personnel commentade, do you think he 840 00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,479 Speaker 1: fights the temptation to maybe throw something at him they've 841 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,920 Speaker 1: never seen? Yeah, I mean I think that's pretty hard. 842 00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:58,399 Speaker 1: I don't know if you could fool Phill Belichick. He's 843 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,680 Speaker 1: seen a lot. You know, he's twice the age of 844 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,279 Speaker 1: Sean McVay, so that'll be a child. I think Sean 845 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,200 Speaker 1: McVay is smart enough to know, like, let's just do 846 00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:08,080 Speaker 1: what we did to get here. Let's not reinvent the wheel, 847 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,440 Speaker 1: you know, let's let's be smart about it. It's more 848 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,680 Speaker 1: about it's not what we do, it's how we do it, 849 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,000 Speaker 1: and if we can execute and be fundamentally sound. You 850 00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:17,960 Speaker 1: can't beat yourself, you know, if you if you have 851 00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,400 Speaker 1: mental errors, if you cough the rock up, you know, 852 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,239 Speaker 1: you're you're dead in the water against the Patriots. So 853 00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:25,799 Speaker 1: I think that'll be a mission statement. But I think 854 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:27,440 Speaker 1: he's also going to take a little page out of 855 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,399 Speaker 1: Doug Peterson's book. You know, as much as we give 856 00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,239 Speaker 1: credit to Sean McVay and how great of a mind 857 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,520 Speaker 1: he has been as a young coach, Doug Peterson did it. 858 00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:35,400 Speaker 1: I mean, he got to this game last year and 859 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,480 Speaker 1: he wonted. How did he do it? Because he had 860 00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,920 Speaker 1: his foot on the gas fourth down. They didn't settle 861 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:41,160 Speaker 1: for the field goal, They went for it, they got 862 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,560 Speaker 1: to touchdown, they went for the two point conversions. I 863 00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,040 Speaker 1: think mcvay's got a little bit of that in him 864 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 1: as well. Philly Special is gonna live in history for that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 865 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,120 Speaker 1: for sure. Hey, Sean, I consider myself a fan of 866 00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,560 Speaker 1: the game, and as such, I really am hoping that 867 00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:57,640 Speaker 1: there is no sort of officiating or replay Gafflick. There 868 00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,240 Speaker 1: wasn't the NFC Championship game. They could put a stint 869 00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:01,480 Speaker 1: on this game. Right, What did you think of the 870 00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:03,920 Speaker 1: commissioners comma yesterday and what do you think of that 871 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,279 Speaker 1: whole situation now two weeks after? Well, listen, I think 872 00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:10,320 Speaker 1: everybody you know wants a perfect game by the referees, 873 00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,799 Speaker 1: nobody more so than them. You know. I mean the 874 00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:15,920 Speaker 1: one thing that every referee I've ever talked to will 875 00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:17,799 Speaker 1: tell you if they're talking about us after the game, 876 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 1: we didn't do our job. And that's why they wear 877 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,479 Speaker 1: gray and white. Right. We call them the Zebras because 878 00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,920 Speaker 1: it's always supposed to be a black and white call. 879 00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:27,560 Speaker 1: It's supposed to that's out the way you're supposed to 880 00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,960 Speaker 1: see it. Well, look, I think they mean may need 881 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:33,800 Speaker 1: to change the uniforms. You know, the NBA has gray shirts. 882 00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:37,440 Speaker 1: Maybe they should wear gray uniforms because everything is subjective. 883 00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 1: It's not black and white anymore. There, it's so much 884 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,200 Speaker 1: going on, so look, it's there's a lot to see. 885 00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,880 Speaker 1: I think we've they've tried to make it, you know, 886 00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,279 Speaker 1: they tried to find ways to help them out with 887 00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,480 Speaker 1: technology and with the way that they've changed things. They look, 888 00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:52,080 Speaker 1: let the play go, you know, if it's all turnovers 889 00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,120 Speaker 1: a reviewed. Scoring plays are all reviewed, so if they 890 00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,680 Speaker 1: can help them out. You know, you hope that that 891 00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,279 Speaker 1: nobody misses a call, but that one was tough because 892 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,000 Speaker 1: it was really two calls missed. You know, I mean 893 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 1: as passenger ferents and it's helmet the helmet. You know. 894 00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,239 Speaker 1: I think that the officials in that game, when you 895 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,839 Speaker 1: go back and look at that film, they let him play. Yeah, 896 00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:10,960 Speaker 1: you know, they really said, look, we don't want to 897 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 1: be the factor. We don't want to determine the outcome. 898 00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,200 Speaker 1: We're gonna let these guys play and it's not gonna 899 00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,680 Speaker 1: be a flag fest. You know. I think we as fans, 900 00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:20,680 Speaker 1: we watch games and all of a sudden they're calling everything. 901 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,120 Speaker 1: We're like, all right enough for anything, Like, look, we 902 00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,000 Speaker 1: don't want to see the referee announcing fifteen penalties in 903 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,239 Speaker 1: the first half. So you know, as fans we kind 904 00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,839 Speaker 1: of you want your cake and eat it too. Though 905 00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:33,480 Speaker 1: the officials were consistent in that game they let him play. 906 00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:39,160 Speaker 1: Fans want him to call, they see and look, everybody 907 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:40,840 Speaker 1: wants to harp on that call. The thing that I 908 00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,200 Speaker 1: keep telling Saints fans, Look, it sucks that you guys 909 00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:44,759 Speaker 1: lost and cheers in a row. You guys have lost 910 00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,400 Speaker 1: in heartbreaking fashion. But keep in mind you had the 911 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,879 Speaker 1: ball in overtime, right, you had a chance to win 912 00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,480 Speaker 1: the game, and Dante Fowler beat your right tackle on 913 00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:54,400 Speaker 1: a spin move and hit brew Brees as he got 914 00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,680 Speaker 1: hit for an interception. So it wasn't you had your 915 00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:58,760 Speaker 1: chance to go win the game. You know that. That's 916 00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:00,520 Speaker 1: all you can ask for. If that was the last 917 00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,040 Speaker 1: play of the game they lost on, I would say, 918 00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,359 Speaker 1: oh man, we got we got an issue on our 919 00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,480 Speaker 1: hands here. Sure, but it wasn't there. There's always there 920 00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:08,160 Speaker 1: was another play, there was another chance they had a 921 00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,080 Speaker 1: possession and then they didn't get it done. Hey Sean, 922 00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:12,840 Speaker 1: we know you you've been busy, but your week is 923 00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:14,960 Speaker 1: really starting to ramp up.

Nope, sorry, the 953 00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:41,840 Speaker 1: weather it's just hard. We couldn't you know. We had 954 00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,600 Speaker 1: trouble getting a whole full television crew. There's six or 955 00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:46,239 Speaker 1: eight people who do our show every day back there 956 00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,000 Speaker 1: at one builds drive and the weather prevents him from 957 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,840 Speaker 1: getting in there. So here we are doing radio. We 958 00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:55,080 Speaker 1: are hoping that tomorrow we do the full simulcast MSG 959 00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:58,239 Speaker 1: and radio, but for day, for today, it's only radio. 960 00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:00,719 Speaker 1: Sean O'Hara got deep in the you might expect from 961 00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:03,600 Speaker 1: an offensive line, and Steve got deep into offensive line play. 962 00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:05,680 Speaker 1: In his analysis of Sunday's game. Let's right, he talked 963 00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:07,440 Speaker 1: a little bit about how solid the guards for New 964 00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,400 Speaker 1: England has have been and also he mentioned it and 965 00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:12,560 Speaker 1: all mentioned it too. Is I've seen and heard the 966 00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,719 Speaker 1: same thing. The Rams offensive line has been dominant in 967 00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:17,320 Speaker 1: the last month and a half of the season. I 968 00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:24,279 Speaker 1: mean dominant. They they absolutely trounced opponents leading up to 969 00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:27,000 Speaker 1: the championship game in New Orleans and they were really 970 00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:29,719 Speaker 1: really they're playing really well, have been together, didn't lose 971 00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:32,600 Speaker 1: anybody the injury all year. They are they're really good 972 00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:34,640 Speaker 1: and it has shown late in the season, so it'll 973 00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,680 Speaker 1: be interesting to see how much of that affects the 974 00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:40,360 Speaker 1: skill players that everybody likes to watch. But believe me, 975 00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:42,279 Speaker 1: it all starts and ends with those guys, and I 976 00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:44,000 Speaker 1: like that. And we'll talk with Great Cosell when he 977 00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,480 Speaker 1: comes up next half hour. I think it's setting up 978 00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:48,759 Speaker 1: at least as you know, if you can project this 979 00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:50,839 Speaker 1: to what type of game we might have. We could 980 00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:53,440 Speaker 1: have a type of game where the running game is important, 981 00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,560 Speaker 1: which I think many people would say, well, that's not 982 00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:57,480 Speaker 1: the modern day NFL, But you know what, it might 983 00:43:57,520 --> 00:43:59,000 Speaker 1: be fun to watch a couple of the teams kind 984 00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,200 Speaker 1: of pound it out on the ground and in a close, 985 00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:05,000 Speaker 1: low scoring game become part of the you know, the 986 00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,799 Speaker 1: storyline coming into this game. The Patriots have evolved away 987 00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:10,320 Speaker 1: from Tom Brady this season. It has they have become 988 00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:13,920 Speaker 1: a full back, two back, run the ball offense nineteen 989 00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:17,280 Speaker 1: you know, nineteen sixty five. You know, they're turning around, 990 00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:19,360 Speaker 1: handing it off to a full back and pounding the 991 00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:22,319 Speaker 1: football inside on those power runs. And they've been really 992 00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:26,320 Speaker 1: successful doing it. And you know it's true that, you know, 993 00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:27,680 Speaker 1: they always seem to be on the kind of the 994 00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:30,839 Speaker 1: cusp of whatever they can get away with. You know, 995 00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:33,359 Speaker 1: they what attacks the defenses. And I've said this before 996 00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:35,760 Speaker 1: on the show mur defenses these days are about getting 997 00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:40,120 Speaker 1: after the passer and getting turnovers. And you turn around 998 00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:42,799 Speaker 1: and get the old fashioned two back offense handing off. 999 00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,359 Speaker 1: They're like, whoa, what do we do? You know, it's 1000 00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:48,799 Speaker 1: it's it's pretty ingenious. At the same time, it's kind of, 1001 00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:51,640 Speaker 1: you know, kind of maddening too. Doesn't come on, guys, 1002 00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:53,640 Speaker 1: it's a run game. Stop. You know what I think, 1003 00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:56,319 Speaker 1: you know what I like? I think it illustrates me 1004 00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:59,919 Speaker 1: that the game he's always going back and forth. You know, yeah, 1005 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,600 Speaker 1: we're passing its pass rush. It's passing game. And now 1006 00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,239 Speaker 1: maybe the games at least this week anyway, turning a 1007 00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,160 Speaker 1: little bit to the other side with the second half 1008 00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:08,919 Speaker 1: of the season, the Bill saw it and you see 1009 00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:10,759 Speaker 1: seeing a lot in the playoffs when the Patriots line 1010 00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,720 Speaker 1: up with Devlin and the two back set. That's different. 1011 00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,200 Speaker 1: Right Again, ten years ago, the Patriots would never think 1012 00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:17,799 Speaker 1: of that, and they were wide open, no, and and 1013 00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:20,440 Speaker 1: for good reason, I mean, they had the players to 1014 00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:22,839 Speaker 1: do that. And then the league was headed that direction. Yeah, 1015 00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,040 Speaker 1: I think, you know, they're doing things differently than everybody 1016 00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,160 Speaker 1: else does because you know, the Rams aren't going to 1017 00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:30,120 Speaker 1: have seen a two back offense running at him like 1018 00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:32,520 Speaker 1: the pagets to do it these days. So it's you know, 1019 00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:34,440 Speaker 1: they get an edge that way, and the fact that 1020 00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:39,880 Speaker 1: the players actually on the field don't feel comfortable defending it. 1021 00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:43,000 Speaker 1: They don't recognize anything, and that's uh, you know, it 1022 00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:44,879 Speaker 1: becomes an asset for the team that's doing it. Hey, 1023 00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,200 Speaker 1: while we talk about Super Bowl fifty three today with 1024 00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:50,359 Speaker 1: some of our guests, we also lineup guests for tomorrow's show. 1025 00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:52,000 Speaker 1: We're gonna have a good one. Jordan Palmer is gonna 1026 00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,880 Speaker 1: be with us tomorrow tomorrow on tomorrow's show. He is 1027 00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:58,000 Speaker 1: Josh Allen's quarterback guru. He is a Tyree Jackson, the 1028 00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:01,160 Speaker 1: UB quarterback. He is his new guy. Is gonna be 1029 00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:03,320 Speaker 1: with us tomorrow as well. I believe Tyree Jactson this 1030 00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,840 Speaker 1: year in Atlanta, right, Yeah, over with us here tomorrow. 1031 00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,560 Speaker 1: I have not met him, Tyree. Yeah, I'll be impressed. 1032 00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:13,200 Speaker 1: I've seen interviews and obviously of that, but and I 1033 00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:15,080 Speaker 1: would recognize him, but I don't I've ever met him. 1034 00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:16,920 Speaker 1: So and Jordan will be here to talk about Josh 1035 00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,440 Speaker 1: and Tyree. He's got Jordan problem, has got quite a 1036 00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:22,560 Speaker 1: client list. He is a quarterback technician. Uh. And it's 1037 00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,920 Speaker 1: interesting too. One of the reasons his brother, uh, Carson 1038 00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:28,440 Speaker 1: Carson was a number one pick of the draft of 1039 00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:30,399 Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengs. We're all kind of familiar with him. 1040 00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:32,560 Speaker 1: One of the things they said about Carson was the 1041 00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:36,120 Speaker 1: reason everybody fawned over Carson Palmer when he came out 1042 00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:40,120 Speaker 1: of college. He was the most technically sound quarterback they 1043 00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:42,360 Speaker 1: a lot of people had ever seen at that time. 1044 00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:46,839 Speaker 1: And Jordan Palmer kind of seeing that, knowing it. That's 1045 00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:48,400 Speaker 1: kind of his thing. He gets you to be the 1046 00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:50,880 Speaker 1: technical side of the of the game. How to protect 1047 00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:52,960 Speaker 1: the ball, how to drop back and keep the ball protected, 1048 00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:56,319 Speaker 1: how to keep your your platform, your leg work, all 1049 00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:58,959 Speaker 1: that stuff in line. And he's got quite a client 1050 00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:00,920 Speaker 1: list of young quarterbacks. We'll talk to him about that 1051 00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,080 Speaker 1: on tomorrow show. We have a lot more to ground 1052 00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:05,960 Speaker 1: to cover here today again Radio only today because of 1053 00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:09,000 Speaker 1: the storm back in Buffalo.

We'll make time for 1061 00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:33,040 Speaker 1: you to talk about so close to fifty three forty seven, 1062 00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:36,960 Speaker 1: Now that's not that close, brilliant. We're coming back, and 1063 00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,120 Speaker 1: we're coming back with Great Cosell, you know him from 1064 00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:43,160 Speaker 1: our regular Friday appearances, the executive producer of NFL Matchup 1065 00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:46,680 Speaker 1: on ESPN.

Thank 1074 00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:32,520 Speaker 1: you very much for tuning in. You know, during the 1075 00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:34,799 Speaker 1: course of the regular season, we kind of cap off 1076 00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:37,000 Speaker 1: our week every Friday with a visit from the guy 1077 00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:38,640 Speaker 1: who's joining us. Now now we get to see him 1078 00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:42,640 Speaker 1: in person. He's executive producer analyst of NFL Matchup on ESPN, 1079 00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,719 Speaker 1: longtime senior producer at NFL Films. Good to have great 1080 00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:49,439 Speaker 1: coast in the flash, mister Tasker, how are you You're 1081 00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:53,520 Speaker 1: shorter on Skype? I must say, yeah, well, I actually 1082 00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:55,480 Speaker 1: even used to be taller, but I've gotten older, so 1083 00:48:55,600 --> 00:49:01,480 Speaker 1: I think I've lost your kind of intimidating in person. Afraid. No, 1084 00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:03,719 Speaker 1: let's get started here and get started about your just 1085 00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:06,440 Speaker 1: general view of this game. I get the sense that 1086 00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:09,360 Speaker 1: around the country and the media thinks that this is 1087 00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:11,319 Speaker 1: kind of a mismatch, that the Patriots are that much 1088 00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:12,879 Speaker 1: better than the Rams. I don't see it that way 1089 00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:15,160 Speaker 1: to you. Well, my guess is, and you know, this 1090 00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:16,799 Speaker 1: is the kind of stuff that's so easy to talk 1091 00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:19,359 Speaker 1: about when you don't talk about the actual xs and os, 1092 00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:21,879 Speaker 1: is that you have a veteran coach in Belichick who's 1093 00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:25,160 Speaker 1: considered the best. There is a quarterback in Brady who's 1094 00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:28,080 Speaker 1: considered the greatest of all time, versus a thirty two 1095 00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:31,520 Speaker 1: year old coach without any experience, and a young quarterback 1096 00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:33,719 Speaker 1: who's kind of been up and down over the last 1097 00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:36,080 Speaker 1: six seven weeks. So I think the sense is that 1098 00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:38,600 Speaker 1: the Patriots are just going to win this game. I 1099 00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:41,399 Speaker 1: don't want to say handily, but that they'll control the game. 1100 00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:45,400 Speaker 1: Do you discount those factors that you just listed there? No, 1101 00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:47,719 Speaker 1: But I don't think of games that way. I think 1102 00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:52,680 Speaker 1: of games tactically. So I mean, are there moments in games? 1103 00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:55,000 Speaker 1: And Steve could certainly speak to this better than I could. 1104 00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:58,520 Speaker 1: Are there moments in games where experience and being in 1105 00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:01,719 Speaker 1: a certain situation does means something over maybe not being 1106 00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:04,600 Speaker 1: in that situation. I'm sure that means something in some 1107 00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:08,279 Speaker 1: kind of intangible way. I can't speak to that, you know. 1108 00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:10,560 Speaker 1: It's just like if people ask me about leadership, I 1109 00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:12,439 Speaker 1: can't speak to that because I'm not in the locker 1110 00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:14,400 Speaker 1: room every day, right, So there are certain things that 1111 00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:16,920 Speaker 1: I will freely admit that I can't speak to. I 1112 00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:19,480 Speaker 1: can speak to what I see on tape, and I 1113 00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:21,759 Speaker 1: love that part of the game. Talk to us a 1114 00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:24,160 Speaker 1: little bit about what you see on tape. The Rams 1115 00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:27,359 Speaker 1: defense we know in the off season this last year, 1116 00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:29,120 Speaker 1: they pushed all their chips to the table. They brought 1117 00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:32,439 Speaker 1: in in Dominican Sue Marcus Peters a keep to lead 1118 00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:35,600 Speaker 1: to a compliment an already good defense with Aaron Donald, 1119 00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:37,640 Speaker 1: who's the MVP, a defensive MVP of the league. I 1120 00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:40,120 Speaker 1: mean twenty and a half sacks. It's a defensive front 1121 00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:42,960 Speaker 1: that is dominated by those two guys down inside. Now 1122 00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:45,640 Speaker 1: we had Sean. We've talked to Sean O'Hara today. He says, 1123 00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:49,400 Speaker 1: those two guards for New England are very good. What 1124 00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:54,440 Speaker 1: can we look for? Because for me, offensive line defensive 1125 00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:57,279 Speaker 1: line play is critical to success on either side of 1126 00:50:57,280 --> 00:50:58,719 Speaker 1: the ball, on both sides of the ball, and in 1127 00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,440 Speaker 1: this game in particular, because I think the Patriots have 1128 00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:05,080 Speaker 1: morphed as the seasons progressed into a running football team, absolutely, 1129 00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:07,279 Speaker 1: and they run a lot with a fullback on the 1130 00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:10,239 Speaker 1: field Devlin at a twenty one personnel So you're going 1131 00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:13,040 Speaker 1: to see something you don't see very often, a defense 1132 00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:16,760 Speaker 1: that's likely in their base defense more than they normally 1133 00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:21,000 Speaker 1: would be. So Sue and Donald become absolutely critical. One 1134 00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:23,879 Speaker 1: thing in my tape study, particularly over the last five weeks, 1135 00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:27,200 Speaker 1: that has really stood out to me is where Devlin goes, 1136 00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:31,440 Speaker 1: the ball goes, and I think that the Rams will 1137 00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:33,440 Speaker 1: know that based on film study. My guess is the 1138 00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:36,120 Speaker 1: Patriots will know that based on self scouting, because when 1139 00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:38,520 Speaker 1: you have two weeks to prepare and teams bring in 1140 00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:41,120 Speaker 1: every single scout and every single person in the organization 1141 00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:44,080 Speaker 1: to self scout and study, which doesn't happen during a 1142 00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:48,200 Speaker 1: regular week, maybe the Belichick will say, hey, look, every 1143 00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:51,760 Speaker 1: time we run out of twenty one, Sony Michelle's following Devilon, 1144 00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:54,520 Speaker 1: So let's maybe adjust that a little bit. But the 1145 00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:56,759 Speaker 1: point is, over the last five six weeks, that's the 1146 00:51:56,800 --> 00:52:00,320 Speaker 1: way it's been. They have run the football over forty 1147 00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:03,040 Speaker 1: times in their last handful of games. Correct, Well, think 1148 00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:05,960 Speaker 1: of this, we know which is a lot we know 1149 00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:08,160 Speaker 1: about Brady being, you know, the goat the greatest of 1150 00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:11,040 Speaker 1: all time. But in their last two games, the two 1151 00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:14,759 Speaker 1: playoff games, in the first half alone, Sony Michelle had 1152 00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:18,920 Speaker 1: sixteen rushes versus the Chargers and nineteen rushes versus the 1153 00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:22,080 Speaker 1: Chiefs in the first half half. Right, So I mean 1154 00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:24,640 Speaker 1: they are a running football team to start their offense 1155 00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:26,719 Speaker 1: at the risk is sounding like a dinosaur, which I 1156 00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:28,880 Speaker 1: maybe I look all right there with him. I look 1157 00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:30,239 Speaker 1: forward to this kind of game though, you know what 1158 00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:32,440 Speaker 1: I mean. I look forward to fullback having a role 1159 00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:34,640 Speaker 1: to play right and two big defensive tackles in the 1160 00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:36,239 Speaker 1: middle for the Rams having a big role to play. 1161 00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:42,160 Speaker 1: Let me just be the millennials. Throw the stinking balls. 1162 00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:46,920 Speaker 1: Let's go kay gun and throw the football now. But 1163 00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:51,120 Speaker 1: this listen, I foresee, you know, I use that word. 1164 00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:53,719 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a close game. I don't 1165 00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:56,359 Speaker 1: think these teams are gonna run off and leave one another. 1166 00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:00,920 Speaker 1: I would probably agree, unless turnovers your special teams touch that, yeah, 1167 00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:03,879 Speaker 1: which not no one knows. But you know, my sense 1168 00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:07,040 Speaker 1: is the way the Patriots playing now that I don't 1169 00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:08,759 Speaker 1: think they're coming out and spreading it out and having 1170 00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:11,000 Speaker 1: Brady dropped back forty five times. I don't think they're 1171 00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,680 Speaker 1: doing that, which three or four or five years ago 1172 00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:15,600 Speaker 1: we could have said that that would have been a 1173 00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:18,279 Speaker 1: possible game plan approach. I don't think you're going to 1174 00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:23,680 Speaker 1: see that. Look. I think that the run game is critical, 1175 00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:26,719 Speaker 1: you know. I think tempo. I think which one thing 1176 00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:29,560 Speaker 1: you'll see from the Rams on offense is tempo. I 1177 00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:32,279 Speaker 1: think they'll go no huddle, which doesn't mean they'll snap 1178 00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:34,320 Speaker 1: the ball right away. But I think they'll try to 1179 00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:38,400 Speaker 1: force the Patriots defense, which is much more schematic than 1180 00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:41,440 Speaker 1: it is built on one or two great individual players. 1181 00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:43,680 Speaker 1: I think they'll force the Patriots to try to be 1182 00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:47,239 Speaker 1: static defensively. We talked about this a couple of weeks ago. Yeah, 1183 00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:49,400 Speaker 1: the Rams it appeared in the playoffs, got to the 1184 00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:51,880 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage and stood there, waited until the clus 1185 00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:54,120 Speaker 1: got to fifteen, got the play call in and right. 1186 00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:56,160 Speaker 1: What does that do to a defense when they're all 1187 00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:58,200 Speaker 1: there at the line and then just enough times it 1188 00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:00,160 Speaker 1: might be two or three, they'll snap it right away 1189 00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:02,719 Speaker 1: just to shoot. You know. It's like throwing deep. People say, well, 1190 00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:04,359 Speaker 1: you gotta throw deep, just to show him you're gonna 1191 00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:06,560 Speaker 1: throw deep. They would a few times get to the 1192 00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:08,839 Speaker 1: line and snap it just to say to the defense, hey, 1193 00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:11,680 Speaker 1: you better get ready. But I think they do it 1194 00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:14,879 Speaker 1: more to sort of research the defense. But it does 1195 00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:17,879 Speaker 1: make the defense, and you know all about this does 1196 00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:20,160 Speaker 1: make the defense get a little static because you don't 1197 00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:21,839 Speaker 1: know when the ball is going to be snapped, right. 1198 00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:25,120 Speaker 1: They will tend to give things away right right, And 1199 00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:27,880 Speaker 1: that's what both teams are trying not to do exactly, 1200 00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:30,960 Speaker 1: and it's that fifteen second play clock where for those 1201 00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:33,480 Speaker 1: who don't know, that's when the radio shuts off, and 1202 00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:35,239 Speaker 1: now Jared Goff is on his own, on his own, 1203 00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:39,960 Speaker 1: and that's to me, that's a big element to what 1204 00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:43,719 Speaker 1: has held maybe the Rams offense in check. I don't 1205 00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:46,480 Speaker 1: know that Goff has enough on his plate to make 1206 00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:49,239 Speaker 1: enough adjustments after it goes off. I think I think 1207 00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:51,800 Speaker 1: Sean McVay is the brains behind the offense, and he 1208 00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:54,200 Speaker 1: does what he's and Goff does what he's told. I 1209 00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:57,560 Speaker 1: couldn't agree more. And I think that Goff is somewhat 1210 00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:00,440 Speaker 1: a very programmed quarterback. I think over the last seven 1211 00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:02,920 Speaker 1: or eight weeks he's missed too many routine throws that 1212 00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:06,640 Speaker 1: he can't miss in this game. And you know, I 1213 00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:09,000 Speaker 1: think that side of the ball, to me, is absolutely 1214 00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:12,560 Speaker 1: fascinating because one thing that the Rams are not as 1215 00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:15,719 Speaker 1: quote unquote complex as people think. They do a couple 1216 00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:19,080 Speaker 1: of things really really well, and they've got a few 1217 00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:21,520 Speaker 1: adjustments off of it. But one thing that you see 1218 00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:24,560 Speaker 1: a lot is they line up with minus splits, nasty 1219 00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:27,280 Speaker 1: splits where the wide receivers are really close to the formation. 1220 00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:31,080 Speaker 1: I am really curious to see if we see the 1221 00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:34,120 Speaker 1: Patriots with their outside rushers do what they kind of 1222 00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:36,080 Speaker 1: did with Marshall Falk and the Greatest Show on Turf 1223 00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:39,160 Speaker 1: game right, where they they use the outside rushers to 1224 00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:43,200 Speaker 1: jam those wide receivers and disrupt the timing that way, right. 1225 00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:47,040 Speaker 1: And I think too, if you got to do something 1226 00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:50,080 Speaker 1: to mess the timing up, because you know, particularly if 1227 00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:53,120 Speaker 1: the Patriots don't believe that the Rams, they can hold 1228 00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:55,400 Speaker 1: the Rams off quick right, the ball's gonna have to 1229 00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:57,480 Speaker 1: come out quick, right. And if you can do both 1230 00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:00,360 Speaker 1: make them want to throw it quick, but stop the 1231 00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:04,200 Speaker 1: timing of the route, that's and that they have no answer, correct, correct, 1232 00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:06,120 Speaker 1: And I think that's going to be critical in this game. 1233 00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:07,839 Speaker 1: That to me is one of the things I'm really 1234 00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:09,719 Speaker 1: going to be looking for, Murph, is to see if 1235 00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:13,040 Speaker 1: the Patriots used that bullseye tactic of their outside rushers 1236 00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:16,800 Speaker 1: jamming those those minus split wideouts close to the formation. 1237 00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:20,640 Speaker 1: Great co Sella's executive producer analysts of NFL matchup on ESPN. 1238 00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:22,480 Speaker 1: Talk to me about this matchup. If you would in 1239 00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:26,120 Speaker 1: Damackinsue and Aaron Donald against the Patriots interior offensive line, 1240 00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:30,640 Speaker 1: well that's gonna be critical because there the Patriots run game, 1241 00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:33,880 Speaker 1: for the most part, will work inside. You know they 1242 00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:35,600 Speaker 1: have some outside runs, but for the most part it 1243 00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:38,560 Speaker 1: works inside. So now in those kinds of situations, you 1244 00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:41,960 Speaker 1: tend to get double teams, but you also get usually 1245 00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:45,320 Speaker 1: one d tackle who's one on one and Sue in 1246 00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:49,320 Speaker 1: the two playoff wins for the Rams has really elevated 1247 00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:51,360 Speaker 1: his games. I didn't think he had a great season. 1248 00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:53,319 Speaker 1: I thought he was very up and down. But these 1249 00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:57,360 Speaker 1: last two playoff games he's been controlling the line of scrimmage. 1250 00:56:57,520 --> 00:56:59,239 Speaker 1: I think he's one of those guys that picks his 1251 00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:02,680 Speaker 1: spots costly. He's he signed the big contract. He never 1252 00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:05,520 Speaker 1: emerged in Miami's a dominant player. He's a good player. 1253 00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:08,399 Speaker 1: He's a good player, but when he I think he's 1254 00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:10,480 Speaker 1: one of those guy, rare guy. He's got a lot 1255 00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:13,000 Speaker 1: of gas in his tank. Right, he has got a 1256 00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:15,440 Speaker 1: big engine, and when he does decide to turn it on, 1257 00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:19,720 Speaker 1: he is dominant. He's dominant, and I think he may 1258 00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:21,560 Speaker 1: be the guy that can be the difference in this 1259 00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:24,760 Speaker 1: game because of his ability to dominate on in a 1260 00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:28,000 Speaker 1: league that hasn't seen him as a dominant, dominant player. 1261 00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:30,080 Speaker 1: Right and I think that's going to be could be 1262 00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:32,160 Speaker 1: a surprise for those guys up front. And I think 1263 00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:34,959 Speaker 1: he's critical because if they line him up over Shack Mason, 1264 00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:36,880 Speaker 1: who I think is a good player, but Jack Mason 1265 00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:39,760 Speaker 1: smaller and Sue, I'm sure you've seen him in person, 1266 00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:41,680 Speaker 1: and have you seen him in person? Massive? He's a 1267 00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:45,080 Speaker 1: massive human beings and he's not fat from front to back, 1268 00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:48,200 Speaker 1: top to bottle side fat. Yeah, yeah, No, he's he's 1269 00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:52,000 Speaker 1: massive human being. He's an athletic tree stump. Yes, and yeah, 1270 00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:55,160 Speaker 1: that matchup against Mason, if and you'll see it in 1271 00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:57,400 Speaker 1: this game, I think could be a critical one. Yeah. 1272 00:57:57,400 --> 00:57:59,760 Speaker 1: I was thinking that might be the critical matchup right 1273 00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:01,680 Speaker 1: in this game. I mean one of them, Yeah, one 1274 00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:03,800 Speaker 1: of the top ones. Well, to me, the run game 1275 00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:06,280 Speaker 1: is so critical for the Rams to stop because one 1276 00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:08,080 Speaker 1: of the things about the Patriots that to me is 1277 00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:10,440 Speaker 1: so impressive. And I've always thought that Brady may be 1278 00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:12,760 Speaker 1: the best I've ever seen at this at being patient. 1279 00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:14,960 Speaker 1: If you give Brady a five yard throw, he throws 1280 00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:17,479 Speaker 1: the ball five yards and he takes that completion. He's 1281 00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:20,360 Speaker 1: not impatient. He's not looking for something at twenty yards 1282 00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:22,640 Speaker 1: down the field. Unless the situation of course demands it, 1283 00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:25,720 Speaker 1: but he'll take the five yard throw. So if it's 1284 00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:28,240 Speaker 1: second and eight, he'll make it third and three, and 1285 00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:31,120 Speaker 1: they're perfectly fine with doing that. Yeah, But if it's 1286 00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:34,479 Speaker 1: second and you know, if it becomes third and nine, 1287 00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:38,200 Speaker 1: then either Rams may have a little bit of an advantage. 1288 00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:40,600 Speaker 1: You know, the Bills against Patriots twice a year, and 1289 00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:43,720 Speaker 1: each time I always agonize pregame about what do you 1290 00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:45,760 Speaker 1: do with Julian Edelman. You look at his skill set, 1291 00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:48,040 Speaker 1: you look at what he might provide, and you're thinking, okay, 1292 00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:50,040 Speaker 1: and then he gets in a game and absolutely kills you. 1293 00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:51,920 Speaker 1: What are the Rams look at when they see Julian 1294 00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:54,440 Speaker 1: Edelman and how do they handle him? Well, I don't 1295 00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:56,200 Speaker 1: think the Rams are gonna do anything different than they 1296 00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:59,520 Speaker 1: do to me. Wade Phillips is sort of by NFL 1297 00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:02,560 Speaker 1: stand or it's fairly straightforward in his approach. I mean, 1298 00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:04,680 Speaker 1: they play a lot of man, they'll play some zone, 1299 00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:07,240 Speaker 1: but it's Nicole Roby Coleman who plays in the slot. 1300 00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:10,400 Speaker 1: He'll be the matchup. Now, can you make the argument 1301 00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:13,160 Speaker 1: that maybe they'll be certain down in distances or certain 1302 00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:17,000 Speaker 1: field location situations where he might double Edelman? Or or 1303 00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:19,640 Speaker 1: be in a situation where the zone takes care of 1304 00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:21,880 Speaker 1: you know, there might be those kinds of situations because 1305 00:59:21,880 --> 00:59:24,600 Speaker 1: I think Edelman has that advantage if you're just looking 1306 00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:26,240 Speaker 1: at a one on one matchup. So the Rams don't 1307 00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:29,600 Speaker 1: worry about Edelman always. I always worry about I mean worry. 1308 00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:32,320 Speaker 1: I don't think they're acting like he's a non factor. 1309 00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:36,520 Speaker 1: But Wade Phillips history, I think Wade Phillips history is 1310 00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:40,160 Speaker 1: more that the pass rush handles those kinds of things 1311 00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:44,600 Speaker 1: rather than some some hybrid unique coverage concepts. Right, Okay, 1312 00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:48,200 Speaker 1: so give us We've got this this thing going around. 1313 00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:50,600 Speaker 1: So if the Patriots win, what would you do? And 1314 00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:53,440 Speaker 1: this is our this we're thinking about. I gotta ask 1315 00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:55,440 Speaker 1: you this. I'm thinking it was gonna be Tom Brady 1316 00:59:55,600 --> 01:00:00,200 Speaker 1: MVP and against the field of Patriots, what what do 1317 01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:03,400 Speaker 1: you think is crucial? I mean, you've got Bill Belichick, 1318 01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:05,560 Speaker 1: the whole Patriot squad. They've been here three out of 1319 01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:07,920 Speaker 1: the last four years. They've got a ton of experience 1320 01:00:07,960 --> 01:00:11,200 Speaker 1: in big games, and maybe a handful of guys on 1321 01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:15,400 Speaker 1: the Rams have some experience in a game of this magnitude. Yeah, 1322 01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:19,280 Speaker 1: which means something. I know that I intuitively understand that. 1323 01:00:19,600 --> 01:00:21,760 Speaker 1: I don't know how to factor that into an analysis. 1324 01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:26,480 Speaker 1: I think the you know, look, I watched Brady every 1325 01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:28,800 Speaker 1: snap this year, and the one thing that did stand 1326 01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:30,640 Speaker 1: out to me is I thought there were times where 1327 01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:34,840 Speaker 1: Brady really perceived some pressure and played a little fast 1328 01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:38,000 Speaker 1: when he got into longer yard a situations. Now again, 1329 01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:39,520 Speaker 1: I'm not sitting here telling you he's still not a 1330 01:00:39,560 --> 01:00:41,480 Speaker 1: good player. That's not my point. But this is what 1331 01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:44,680 Speaker 1: teams do. They study every single detail and they look 1332 01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:47,360 Speaker 1: for every single edge. You know that even great players. 1333 01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:49,560 Speaker 1: I'm sure when teams, you know, study your team, and 1334 01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:51,400 Speaker 1: they certainly you know they's going to do that. There's 1335 01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:53,840 Speaker 1: certainly things they might say about Jim Kelly or Thurman 1336 01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:55,720 Speaker 1: Thomas that they feel, hey, if you get him in 1337 01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:58,040 Speaker 1: a certain situation, we feel we have a little bit 1338 01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:00,320 Speaker 1: of an advantage. That's the way it works. Know, they're 1339 01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:03,400 Speaker 1: not worried about the public conversation about players. Great players 1340 01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:05,760 Speaker 1: become like the rest of us for a minute, right exactly, 1341 01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:08,080 Speaker 1: That's the way it works. So that's why I think 1342 01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:10,520 Speaker 1: the third downs in the longer yards are so critical, 1343 01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:12,919 Speaker 1: because if they can truly get in a situation where 1344 01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:15,200 Speaker 1: they can unleash a little bit of pass rush. I'm 1345 01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:18,400 Speaker 1: very anxious to see how Brady responds, because there were 1346 01:01:18,560 --> 01:01:20,880 Speaker 1: times this year where he started to play a little 1347 01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:23,120 Speaker 1: fast and hurried himself. What you're talking about and I 1348 01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:25,520 Speaker 1: was thinking about this. We talked with the Sean O'Hara 1349 01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:28,120 Speaker 1: NFL Network earlier today. He was going back to eleven 1350 01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:31,000 Speaker 1: years ago when the Giants be sure the evolution to 1351 01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:33,400 Speaker 1: Tom Brady to it fascinates me. He is a totally 1352 01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:36,000 Speaker 1: different type of quarterback than he was eleven years ago. 1353 01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:39,720 Speaker 1: Not maybe slightly less effective, but that evolution, I think 1354 01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:42,040 Speaker 1: I find it fascinating. And I think the way they 1355 01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:45,440 Speaker 1: play now tells you that they're they're sort of evolving 1356 01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:48,760 Speaker 1: him out of necessity because they're not. They know how 1357 01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:50,280 Speaker 1: he is, they know what he is. There with him 1358 01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:52,480 Speaker 1: every day. They were a running football team, you know, 1359 01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:55,520 Speaker 1: as their foundation. Now, yeah, they didn't just decide that 1360 01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:57,520 Speaker 1: on a whim. Murph, right, you know, I mean these 1361 01:01:57,560 --> 01:02:00,520 Speaker 1: are these are decisions made. Yeah, Greg goes Sell, NFL 1362 01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:03,160 Speaker 1: Network executive producer analyst, Let me switch gears a little 1363 01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:05,040 Speaker 1: bit to the Buffalo Bills, and I know you help 1364 01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:08,640 Speaker 1: us out every week following the Buffalo Bills along Sean McDermot, 1365 01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:11,160 Speaker 1: Scott's a couple of coaching moves to make, including a 1366 01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:14,160 Speaker 1: quarterback coach now with David Colligan. I happen to think 1367 01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:17,240 Speaker 1: it might be the most critical decision that McDermott has 1368 01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:19,920 Speaker 1: to make. What type of quarterback coach should they should 1369 01:02:19,960 --> 01:02:22,200 Speaker 1: they be looking for? What type of quarterback coach does 1370 01:02:22,680 --> 01:02:25,880 Speaker 1: Josh Allen need? Do you think maybe I'm old school Murph, 1371 01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:27,960 Speaker 1: and we discussed this, you and I are old school, 1372 01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:31,440 Speaker 1: old school guilty. I'm a believer that they need a 1373 01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:37,320 Speaker 1: quarterback coach who's a stickler for detail, nuance and actually coaching. 1374 01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:40,960 Speaker 1: Not a liaison between Dabo and Josh Allen. Not a 1375 01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:43,080 Speaker 1: guy who's gonna put his arm around Josh and say 1376 01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:45,760 Speaker 1: you're a wonderful human being. Josh needs to be challenged. 1377 01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:48,360 Speaker 1: He needs to be challenged. You know we're not singing, 1378 01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:51,720 Speaker 1: comebaya here. Yeah, we need to challenge Josh, who I 1379 01:02:51,880 --> 01:02:54,080 Speaker 1: know is a very bright kid. I've been around him. 1380 01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:56,840 Speaker 1: I think he would welcome the challenge. I think he 1381 01:02:56,920 --> 01:02:59,440 Speaker 1: needs to be pushed. I think you gotta stick with 1382 01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:02,080 Speaker 1: repeat aditive mechanics. You got to work and work and 1383 01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:04,320 Speaker 1: work and work. The kid's got all the talent in 1384 01:03:04,360 --> 01:03:07,479 Speaker 1: the world. It's not about making him smile and making 1385 01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:09,880 Speaker 1: him happy. He's not at the point in his career 1386 01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:13,600 Speaker 1: where you want his input about every single thing you're doing. 1387 01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:16,880 Speaker 1: He needs to be coached. Would you agree with me? Absolutely? 1388 01:03:16,920 --> 01:03:19,360 Speaker 1: He needs to become get from He's a little bit 1389 01:03:19,400 --> 01:03:21,400 Speaker 1: of an aw shucks kid right now. You know, he's young, 1390 01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:23,240 Speaker 1: he's loving it and it's all fun, but he needs 1391 01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:26,760 Speaker 1: to be taught and shown how to be a serious 1392 01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:31,000 Speaker 1: pro right who attacks his job and tries to get 1393 01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:32,600 Speaker 1: better all the time. And I just say, he's got 1394 01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:37,640 Speaker 1: two good role models very quarterback room with him, and 1395 01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:41,000 Speaker 1: they're still players, right. Yeah. The atmosphere in the room 1396 01:03:41,080 --> 01:03:43,720 Speaker 1: I think has been really good for him. We saw 1397 01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:46,640 Speaker 1: him take leaps and down bounce forward, no question about it. 1398 01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:50,040 Speaker 1: And I think maybe losing Culley might might be a 1399 01:03:50,160 --> 01:03:52,000 Speaker 1: detriment to that. I'd like to see you got to 1400 01:03:52,040 --> 01:03:53,880 Speaker 1: find somebody to feel that. I'd like to see a 1401 01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:56,520 Speaker 1: guy who has experienced in the league as a quarterback coach, 1402 01:03:56,720 --> 01:04:00,080 Speaker 1: a guy who's been involved in that situation, particularly with 1403 01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:03,480 Speaker 1: a younger quarterback, because I think that's different. Look when 1404 01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:05,200 Speaker 1: you get to the point you're the quarterback coach and 1405 01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:08,080 Speaker 1: a quarterback's played ten twelve years. Not that you don't 1406 01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:11,000 Speaker 1: coach him ever, but it's a different way of coaching him. Sure, 1407 01:04:11,120 --> 01:04:12,880 Speaker 1: just because the guy's been in the league, if he's 1408 01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:16,120 Speaker 1: had a lot of success, he's certainly comfortable with doing 1409 01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:18,560 Speaker 1: things a certain way and you get more input from 1410 01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:21,960 Speaker 1: the player. But Josh Allen's not in that situation. He 1411 01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:24,080 Speaker 1: said it just right. It's you know, there are expectations 1412 01:04:24,120 --> 01:04:27,080 Speaker 1: attached to the player he's got. He's got to contribute then, right, 1413 01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:30,440 Speaker 1: not trying to assimilate everything. He's got to come back 1414 01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:32,320 Speaker 1: and say, wait, I'd rather do this in this situation. 1415 01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:34,800 Speaker 1: I'd rather run this on the backside than that play 1416 01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:36,440 Speaker 1: on the front. And you're coaching Jim Kelly, he's been 1417 01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:38,160 Speaker 1: in the league ten years. You don't come in and say, Jim, 1418 01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:39,680 Speaker 1: we're doing it this way or else. You get out 1419 01:04:39,680 --> 01:04:41,520 Speaker 1: of the room, you know, I mean, it doesn't work 1420 01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:43,960 Speaker 1: like that, no, But I mean, you know, when you're 1421 01:04:43,960 --> 01:04:46,800 Speaker 1: dealing with a second year quarterback who's you know, got 1422 01:04:46,840 --> 01:04:49,480 Speaker 1: a little bit of off shocks, but is smart, you 1423 01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:52,680 Speaker 1: got to coach him. Steve had a name the other 1424 01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:54,760 Speaker 1: day I know a guy you're familiar with. The Alabama 1425 01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:57,800 Speaker 1: offensive assistant this year has got some significant NFL Jake 1426 01:04:57,880 --> 01:05:02,160 Speaker 1: Peach is a guy that I I feel really guy, 1427 01:05:02,240 --> 01:05:04,840 Speaker 1: I really feel really strongly about. He was at Alabama 1428 01:05:04,920 --> 01:05:07,280 Speaker 1: this past year. Prior to that, he was with the Raiders. 1429 01:05:07,320 --> 01:05:09,600 Speaker 1: I mentioned I'd like a guy who's coached young quarterbacks. 1430 01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:13,200 Speaker 1: He was there with David Derek Carr in Carr's infancy 1431 01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:16,200 Speaker 1: in those first two three years when Carr really had 1432 01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:19,360 Speaker 1: a really good years, and I think a guy like 1433 01:05:19,560 --> 01:05:22,240 Speaker 1: that is what you emerged, we car emerged. Yeah, you know, 1434 01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:25,680 Speaker 1: I think a guy like that has It's a guy 1435 01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:28,200 Speaker 1: you'd want to really coach a young quarterback. I like 1436 01:05:28,280 --> 01:05:30,080 Speaker 1: that because we've heard so much about these guys, all 1437 01:05:30,080 --> 01:05:31,880 Speaker 1: the guys that have been hired as head coaches who 1438 01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:34,360 Speaker 1: were acquainted with Sean McVay and have that kind of 1439 01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:38,400 Speaker 1: young mentality. For instance, Adam Gas going to the New 1440 01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:40,560 Speaker 1: York Jets, and I like the guy he's been. He's 1441 01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:42,800 Speaker 1: done some good things, but he gets a lot of 1442 01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:45,120 Speaker 1: credit for what he did with Peyton. But actually, but 1443 01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:48,360 Speaker 1: there's a perfect yeah, yeah, he got coached by Peyton Manning. 1444 01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:50,960 Speaker 1: It's so funny to say that rather than a reverse Right, 1445 01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:53,400 Speaker 1: that's exactly right. I mean the joke always was, but 1446 01:05:53,480 --> 01:05:55,720 Speaker 1: it's true. Is that Peyton lay in his career. If 1447 01:05:55,760 --> 01:05:57,400 Speaker 1: you're going to be the quarterback coach or even the 1448 01:05:57,480 --> 01:06:01,000 Speaker 1: OC as, you're running Peyton's offense, right, right, he's coaching 1449 01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:07,080 Speaker 1: you exactly and we're not there. Right. Peyton decides what 1450 01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:09,400 Speaker 1: goes into the break, right, decides what the strategy. He 1451 01:06:09,480 --> 01:06:13,200 Speaker 1: sees what's going on. And a guy like Pete has 1452 01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:16,480 Speaker 1: j J P. He's worked for a couple of college kids, 1453 01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:21,160 Speaker 1: very good guys, kids down in to and those guys worked. 1454 01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:23,080 Speaker 1: As I said with Derek Carr, you've got to you've 1455 01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:26,120 Speaker 1: got to instill some things in them and show them 1456 01:06:26,680 --> 01:06:28,920 Speaker 1: the path to get out, you know, of their defense, right, 1457 01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:32,120 Speaker 1: And I think that's that's the quarterback The last thing 1458 01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:34,000 Speaker 1: you want to me. And again people could say, what 1459 01:06:34,040 --> 01:06:36,280 Speaker 1: do I know? You do not want just a liaison, 1460 01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:40,919 Speaker 1: you know you want someone who coaches Josh Allen hands. Yes, great, 1461 01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:42,520 Speaker 1: let's get back to the super Bowl before you let 1462 01:06:42,560 --> 01:06:43,560 Speaker 1: you go. And I'm not going to ask you to 1463 01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:45,200 Speaker 1: pick a winner. Well I had to so you can 1464 01:06:45,520 --> 01:06:47,120 Speaker 1: because I had to do it. For ESPN for the 1465 01:06:47,160 --> 01:06:49,560 Speaker 1: match up show. So I'm on record, alright, So pick 1466 01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:51,440 Speaker 1: a winner and tell me a high scoring game, low 1467 01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:53,040 Speaker 1: scoring game? What do you think? I think this would 1468 01:06:53,040 --> 01:06:55,919 Speaker 1: probably be viewed as a lower scoring game in today's NFL. 1469 01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:58,760 Speaker 1: But I picked the Patriots twenty seven twenty three. Wouldn't 1470 01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:00,800 Speaker 1: that be considering more? Is that higher scoring game or 1471 01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:03,280 Speaker 1: lower score? That's what I picked on some radio show 1472 01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:07,240 Speaker 1: that two Yeah, yeah, yeah. I hope it's a good game, 1473 01:07:08,040 --> 01:07:10,520 Speaker 1: that's all. Hope. Yeah, yeah, And I think it will be. 1474 01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:13,960 Speaker 1: I think, as you know, Greg, Thanks, it's great to 1475 01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:17,840 Speaker 1: see you pursue.

This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back One 1486 01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:58,520 Speaker 1: Bill's Live from the Super Bowl, John Murphy Steve Tasker, 1487 01:07:58,640 --> 01:08:01,440 Speaker 1: joined by former Super Bowl Championship coach and now with 1488 01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:03,320 Speaker 1: the NFL Network, Brian Bill, the coach. Thanks for coming. 1489 01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:07,560 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, when you get to a Super Bowl and 1490 01:08:07,600 --> 01:08:09,760 Speaker 1: you've been here this week, how much do you reflect 1491 01:08:09,800 --> 01:08:11,720 Speaker 1: back on what you did with the Ravens Super Bowl 1492 01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:14,080 Speaker 1: thirty five? You know, first off, yeah, you're making me 1493 01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:16,160 Speaker 1: feel old because you think that was eighteen years ago. 1494 01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:17,720 Speaker 1: It was you know, yeah, well, you know how that 1495 01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:19,400 Speaker 1: is all of a sudden you look up its twenty 1496 01:08:19,439 --> 01:08:22,040 Speaker 1: five and what's overwhelming? I don't know. You had so 1497 01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:24,320 Speaker 1: many experiences with it, but at our time, of course 1498 01:08:24,360 --> 01:08:28,360 Speaker 1: it wasn't as big. It's grown exponentially, but I was 1499 01:08:28,439 --> 01:08:31,519 Speaker 1: oblivious to all this. I only left the hotel to 1500 01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:33,720 Speaker 1: go to practice and one time to go to the 1501 01:08:33,760 --> 01:08:38,240 Speaker 1: Commissioner's ball, right, and that was it. So uh, you know, 1502 01:08:38,640 --> 01:08:41,280 Speaker 1: and obviously it has grown and you become more and 1503 01:08:41,400 --> 01:08:44,200 Speaker 1: more aware of that really is the biggest challenge. How 1504 01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:47,840 Speaker 1: do I help my players navigate through and because when 1505 01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:50,200 Speaker 1: you get to the game, some people I don't know 1506 01:08:50,320 --> 01:08:53,800 Speaker 1: that can appreciate this like you can, Steve, It's just 1507 01:08:53,920 --> 01:08:56,000 Speaker 1: a game. I mean, it's the same game you've played. Now. 1508 01:08:56,160 --> 01:08:58,479 Speaker 1: The repercussions and the console all that, I get that, 1509 01:08:59,040 --> 01:09:00,880 Speaker 1: But you're doing the same thing you've been doing your 1510 01:09:00,920 --> 01:09:03,720 Speaker 1: whole life, that whole season, but leading up to it 1511 01:09:03,880 --> 01:09:06,439 Speaker 1: is like nothing you've ever done before that. And I 1512 01:09:06,520 --> 01:09:08,200 Speaker 1: was going to ask you that's a big story floating 1513 01:09:08,240 --> 01:09:10,519 Speaker 1: around the Patriots here. Every year they got guys that 1514 01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:12,320 Speaker 1: have been through this. They don't how to handle their 1515 01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:16,000 Speaker 1: their uncle's ticket request and there and their second cousins 1516 01:09:16,400 --> 01:09:18,200 Speaker 1: you know, want to stop buy and say hi the 1517 01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:19,840 Speaker 1: hotel and then everybody want to say hey can I 1518 01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:22,120 Speaker 1: come watch practice? You know, even crazy stuff like that. 1519 01:09:22,840 --> 01:09:25,160 Speaker 1: They do it every year. Rams they got like what 1520 01:09:25,360 --> 01:09:28,479 Speaker 1: four guys have been to one Uh. That's an issue 1521 01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:30,680 Speaker 1: that is a big factor, and I think I think 1522 01:09:30,720 --> 01:09:33,640 Speaker 1: they'll get past it because I think the players are 1523 01:09:33,720 --> 01:09:37,160 Speaker 1: more aware now. It's more the more transparency, and the 1524 01:09:37,280 --> 01:09:39,840 Speaker 1: league actually does a pretty good job. The league does 1525 01:09:39,880 --> 01:09:42,800 Speaker 1: a good job of from Wednesday on, there's not a 1526 01:09:42,880 --> 01:09:45,120 Speaker 1: lot of demands on the players because of all this. 1527 01:09:45,760 --> 01:09:48,040 Speaker 1: My concern was the guys, you got all that other stuff, 1528 01:09:48,120 --> 01:09:50,400 Speaker 1: you got your own radio show and this thing, guys, 1529 01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:52,599 Speaker 1: you got to keep that under under wraps to a degree. 1530 01:09:53,320 --> 01:09:56,400 Speaker 1: I think the is it a factor? Yes, Does it 1531 01:09:56,479 --> 01:10:01,120 Speaker 1: allow the Patriots to more effortlessly nego navigate the week? 1532 01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:06,960 Speaker 1: And no. Most importantly the pacing, the emotional pacing of 1533 01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:11,800 Speaker 1: don't let Saturday, as you know, is the longest day 1534 01:10:12,360 --> 01:10:16,439 Speaker 1: in the world waiting for Sunday and then all day Sunday. 1535 01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:20,680 Speaker 1: To not wear yourself out emotionally on that Saturday and 1536 01:10:20,800 --> 01:10:23,280 Speaker 1: Sunday waiting for kiss, you got to have a plan. 1537 01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:28,200 Speaker 1: I've said that a lot. Football's routine, very routine throughout 1538 01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:30,200 Speaker 1: the regular season, playoffs even you kind of keep it 1539 01:10:30,240 --> 01:10:32,680 Speaker 1: as a routine, and the Super Bowl is anything but. 1540 01:10:33,360 --> 01:10:35,000 Speaker 1: And you get to a Wednesday of the Super Bowl 1541 01:10:35,040 --> 01:10:36,920 Speaker 1: week and you think, wow, the game's tomorrow. Yeah, well, 1542 01:10:36,960 --> 01:10:40,400 Speaker 1: you got four days to go and your usual amount 1543 01:10:40,400 --> 01:10:44,719 Speaker 1: of emotional investment and energy for stuff other than football 1544 01:10:45,280 --> 01:10:47,920 Speaker 1: is used up, and you've got another four days. And 1545 01:10:48,040 --> 01:10:50,439 Speaker 1: that's really I think the critical time is the Wednesday 1546 01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:52,880 Speaker 1: through My guess is that. And Sean mcveig, who has 1547 01:10:52,920 --> 01:10:55,040 Speaker 1: been around his whole lot, his grandfather I worked with 1548 01:10:55,479 --> 01:10:57,840 Speaker 1: at the forty nine ers, John was real mentor for me. 1549 01:10:59,240 --> 01:11:01,960 Speaker 1: No John's or Shawn's dad, and Sean wasn't even a 1550 01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:05,080 Speaker 1: glint in their eye at that point. He's been around 1551 01:11:05,120 --> 01:11:08,160 Speaker 1: in his whole life and he's got some great mentoring 1552 01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:11,720 Speaker 1: even within the family to say, well, this is how 1553 01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:14,760 Speaker 1: you ought to you ought to judge this right. Brian 1554 01:11:14,760 --> 01:11:17,320 Speaker 1: Billick won a Super Bowl with the Baltimore Ravens back 1555 01:11:17,360 --> 01:11:19,600 Speaker 1: in two thousand. I was reading about that. You you 1556 01:11:19,760 --> 01:11:22,240 Speaker 1: tried to that year prevent your players from looking ahead 1557 01:11:22,280 --> 01:11:24,559 Speaker 1: to playoffs or super Bowl right every So we had 1558 01:11:24,960 --> 01:11:27,120 Speaker 1: to keep in mind this organization had had a winning 1559 01:11:27,160 --> 01:11:30,559 Speaker 1: season set since exception. So as we're gaining ground, it's 1560 01:11:30,600 --> 01:11:32,960 Speaker 1: getting you know, all the players are getting excited, and 1561 01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:35,400 Speaker 1: so you start talking about playoffs and so I, guys, 1562 01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:37,439 Speaker 1: who whoaa you got to earn the right to talk 1563 01:11:37,439 --> 01:11:40,400 Speaker 1: about playoffs? I don't want with kangaroo court, but I'm 1564 01:11:40,479 --> 01:11:43,639 Speaker 1: finding anybody to use the word playoff. So our ticket 1565 01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:46,040 Speaker 1: manager comes to us to go, coach, we just got 1566 01:11:46,520 --> 01:11:49,120 Speaker 1: the league just told us to start selling playoff tickets. 1567 01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:51,680 Speaker 1: How do I sell playoff tickets? If I can't use 1568 01:11:51,720 --> 01:11:54,080 Speaker 1: the word playoff, I go We'll figure it out, because 1569 01:11:54,120 --> 01:11:56,840 Speaker 1: anybody that uses the word playoff, and this organization is 1570 01:11:56,880 --> 01:11:58,880 Speaker 1: going to get fine. So they came up. They used 1571 01:11:58,920 --> 01:12:02,640 Speaker 1: an old Seinfeld that called it Festivus Maximus. We were 1572 01:12:02,680 --> 01:12:06,120 Speaker 1: selling Festivus Maximus tickets until a couple weeks later we 1573 01:12:06,200 --> 01:12:09,080 Speaker 1: beat the Chargers where we were definitively into the playoffs, 1574 01:12:09,439 --> 01:12:12,280 Speaker 1: and now the band came off. It's really true because 1575 01:12:12,360 --> 01:12:14,320 Speaker 1: it's kind of a rallying point. It's kind of a 1576 01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:16,920 Speaker 1: well you wanted that challenge out everyone. But the very 1577 01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:20,880 Speaker 1: first thing I did in the locker room the minute 1578 01:12:20,920 --> 01:12:23,320 Speaker 1: we beat the Chargers, because you had to flip it 1579 01:12:24,240 --> 01:12:27,080 Speaker 1: was all right, it's time to go to Super Bowl, guys. 1580 01:12:27,439 --> 01:12:29,200 Speaker 1: And the next day, because I didn't want them with 1581 01:12:29,280 --> 01:12:32,759 Speaker 1: holding off, can't playoffs where we haven't earned it yet, YadA, YadA, YadA, 1582 01:12:32,760 --> 01:12:34,920 Speaker 1: I wanted them know, no, we know what we're doing. 1583 01:12:35,360 --> 01:12:38,280 Speaker 1: I gave them a day by day, practiced by practice, 1584 01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:41,840 Speaker 1: meeting by meeting schedule from that Monday and we still 1585 01:12:41,880 --> 01:12:43,880 Speaker 1: had like three games left in the season from that 1586 01:12:44,080 --> 01:12:46,800 Speaker 1: Monday all the way to the Super Bowl ru so 1587 01:12:46,960 --> 01:12:50,680 Speaker 1: that they had tangible Okay, we got to play. You 1588 01:12:50,760 --> 01:12:52,960 Speaker 1: know what we're doing. Talking a little bit about this 1589 01:12:53,080 --> 01:12:58,639 Speaker 1: game these two teams landing here in Atlanta, vastly different. Yeah, 1590 01:12:58,760 --> 01:13:05,080 Speaker 1: interesting contrasts, you know, you know, I think the Rams 1591 01:13:05,240 --> 01:13:09,599 Speaker 1: have everything they need to win this game. They're gonna 1592 01:13:09,640 --> 01:13:12,320 Speaker 1: need all of it. You look at the matchups. Sean 1593 01:13:12,360 --> 01:13:14,680 Speaker 1: o'haron and I on our show Playbook.

The 1601 01:13:34,479 --> 01:13:37,080 Speaker 1: Ram Now, I got a prefaces. I'm a Rams fan. 1602 01:13:37,160 --> 01:13:40,840 Speaker 1: I mean I grew up in La Roman, Gabriel Lamar Lundy, 1603 01:13:41,400 --> 01:13:46,240 Speaker 1: Rosie Greer, Jack Snow, Merlin Olson, sneaking into the coliseum. 1604 01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:49,080 Speaker 1: So I'm a Rams fan from way way back. And 1605 01:13:49,240 --> 01:13:53,240 Speaker 1: They've got everything they need to win the game. Matchups 1606 01:13:53,280 --> 01:13:56,120 Speaker 1: across the board, offensively, the defensively, the way they can 1607 01:13:56,240 --> 01:14:00,680 Speaker 1: run defensively, the matchups with that unique receiving. Grew a 1608 01:14:00,840 --> 01:14:04,280 Speaker 1: crew of the Patriots. But every time I pick against 1609 01:14:04,640 --> 01:14:07,439 Speaker 1: Patriots a little and Brady that kick my ass, you 1610 01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:09,640 Speaker 1: know what I said. So it's hard not to go 1611 01:14:09,720 --> 01:14:12,599 Speaker 1: with it. And we come from Western New York, Rob 1612 01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:15,920 Speaker 1: Gronkowski's hometown area. We don't talk much about Rob Gronkowski, 1613 01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:18,240 Speaker 1: but what role would he have to play in this game? 1614 01:14:18,240 --> 01:14:22,720 Speaker 1: To you, I'll reach back to an old Toby Keith song. 1615 01:14:23,320 --> 01:14:25,160 Speaker 1: I'm not as good as I once was, but I'm 1616 01:14:25,160 --> 01:14:28,160 Speaker 1: as good once as I ever was. I think Gronkowski 1617 01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:32,000 Speaker 1: could have one of those games. You know, they need to. 1618 01:14:32,120 --> 01:14:34,599 Speaker 1: They're going to create some verticals. They're playing small ball, 1619 01:14:34,760 --> 01:14:36,519 Speaker 1: and I think the Rams matchup could be hard to 1620 01:14:36,600 --> 01:14:39,800 Speaker 1: run on the Rams with that front four. But he 1621 01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:42,120 Speaker 1: has the ability, as we saw in the Chiefs game, 1622 01:14:42,200 --> 01:14:43,840 Speaker 1: to come up with those two or three or four 1623 01:14:44,240 --> 01:14:47,960 Speaker 1: matchup big catches down the field. You know, you're small 1624 01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:50,200 Speaker 1: ball into Edelman and door set on the end of 1625 01:14:50,240 --> 01:14:52,920 Speaker 1: Rout Hogan and all of a sudden you you start 1626 01:14:53,560 --> 01:14:56,400 Speaker 1: come clamping down on that and now Gronkowski over the 1627 01:14:56,479 --> 01:14:59,160 Speaker 1: top with the wrong matchup, I think he could have 1628 01:14:59,360 --> 01:15:01,120 Speaker 1: a big impact. This seems to be like and the 1629 01:15:01,200 --> 01:15:06,000 Speaker 1: Patriots are known for they don't, you know, get too 1630 01:15:06,040 --> 01:15:07,800 Speaker 1: far out of out of whack. I mean, this could 1631 01:15:07,840 --> 01:15:09,760 Speaker 1: be a really close game all the way through, and 1632 01:15:09,960 --> 01:15:14,280 Speaker 1: they have the advantage of genuinely and your heart even 1633 01:15:14,360 --> 01:15:17,320 Speaker 1: if they get down early. We're okay, Oh yeah, we've 1634 01:15:17,360 --> 01:15:20,840 Speaker 1: been here. Remember the Atlanta game. Hey guys, relax, We're okay, 1635 01:15:20,880 --> 01:15:23,800 Speaker 1: we've been here. The childe will be Can the Rams 1636 01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:25,479 Speaker 1: do the same thing now? They were down by thirteen 1637 01:15:25,560 --> 01:15:28,559 Speaker 1: in the New Orleans Absolutely, so they can draw back 1638 01:15:28,640 --> 01:15:31,400 Speaker 1: on a shorter history to say we're okay here, let's 1639 01:15:31,439 --> 01:15:33,559 Speaker 1: not pass. And it's become more common Noledy. It used 1640 01:15:33,560 --> 01:15:36,240 Speaker 1: to be Sean Payton did this years ago when they 1641 01:15:36,320 --> 01:15:39,960 Speaker 1: played the Indianapolis Colts in the Super Bowl. And he 1642 01:15:40,080 --> 01:15:41,880 Speaker 1: did it, and he said it in the pregame meetings. 1643 01:15:42,720 --> 01:15:46,880 Speaker 1: It became a Listen, you gotta be courageous in these games. 1644 01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:50,719 Speaker 1: You can't go conservative. You gotta keep going. Doug Peterson 1645 01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:52,640 Speaker 1: last year said, hey, we're shifting. We're not we're not 1646 01:15:52,840 --> 01:15:54,920 Speaker 1: taking that. We're shifting gears and we're gonna keep our 1647 01:15:54,960 --> 01:15:57,400 Speaker 1: foot on the gas. You've got there to Atlanta that 1648 01:15:57,760 --> 01:16:01,559 Speaker 1: they be pulled in the rains a little bit. You've 1649 01:16:01,640 --> 01:16:05,720 Speaker 1: got that. It's a two. Yeah, it's a two edged 1650 01:16:05,720 --> 01:16:08,320 Speaker 1: sword now and Sean Payton's as good as there is. 1651 01:16:09,320 --> 01:16:13,679 Speaker 1: Had that onside kick not worked, it had been vilified 1652 01:16:13,720 --> 01:16:16,800 Speaker 1: as the stupidest church in Super Bowl history. They lost, Yeah, 1653 01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:19,599 Speaker 1: correct if they had lost. So so there's a flip 1654 01:16:19,720 --> 01:16:22,479 Speaker 1: side to that. Uh, and I brought up Atlanta. You 1655 01:16:22,520 --> 01:16:24,880 Speaker 1: can make, but you can also make the criticism that 1656 01:16:25,520 --> 01:16:27,640 Speaker 1: if if you get up like that and you know 1657 01:16:27,800 --> 01:16:30,360 Speaker 1: we're still going, and now you get some turnovers and 1658 01:16:30,520 --> 01:16:33,320 Speaker 1: don't play the clock and play the percentages. So there's 1659 01:16:33,320 --> 01:16:36,080 Speaker 1: two edges to that. But Sean McVeagh has and more 1660 01:16:36,080 --> 01:16:38,760 Speaker 1: in the league right now where yeah, you're gonna, you're gonna. 1661 01:16:39,120 --> 01:16:41,200 Speaker 1: You saw in the in the New Orleans game, the 1662 01:16:41,479 --> 01:16:43,519 Speaker 1: fake punt. You know, we had to do something to 1663 01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:45,840 Speaker 1: change the calculus here. If you win, you escape a 1664 01:16:45,880 --> 01:16:48,439 Speaker 1: lot of criticisms. Oh yeah, Well, we always look through 1665 01:16:48,520 --> 01:16:51,040 Speaker 1: the prism of if it works, you're a genius. If 1666 01:16:51,080 --> 01:16:53,280 Speaker 1: it doesn't, you're the village idiot. Exactly. Brian Billick of 1667 01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:55,280 Speaker 1: the NFL Network with us before we let you go, coach, 1668 01:16:55,600 --> 01:16:59,200 Speaker 1: you coached Ed Reid, who on Saturday, the day before 1669 01:16:59,240 --> 01:17:03,840 Speaker 1: the game, is likely to be inducted and slammed to 1670 01:17:03,840 --> 01:17:06,240 Speaker 1: be an investigation. If there's this guy. He was at 1671 01:17:06,280 --> 01:17:08,040 Speaker 1: the top of his game. He played on one of 1672 01:17:08,080 --> 01:17:10,720 Speaker 1: the great defenses of all time and was elite on 1673 01:17:10,880 --> 01:17:15,679 Speaker 1: that defense. And what else do you say, greatest single 1674 01:17:15,720 --> 01:17:20,000 Speaker 1: play I ever saw Ed read made playing bault or Indianapolis. 1675 01:17:20,120 --> 01:17:23,320 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning maybe the smartest quarterback we've ever seen. And 1676 01:17:23,400 --> 01:17:24,880 Speaker 1: I see Ed in the middle of the field and 1677 01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:28,280 Speaker 1: he's leaning to the right hash and Peyton sees this. 1678 01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:32,519 Speaker 1: So as Peyton turns, and just as he starts his 1679 01:17:32,640 --> 01:17:38,600 Speaker 1: throwing action, Ed turned wheels and sprints to the other sideline. 1680 01:17:38,760 --> 01:17:41,720 Speaker 1: He had baited Peyton Manning going, oh yeah, you don't 1681 01:17:41,760 --> 01:17:43,760 Speaker 1: want to I'm going this way, you go the other, 1682 01:17:43,920 --> 01:17:46,600 Speaker 1: and then just ran one of the greatest play And 1683 01:17:46,720 --> 01:17:49,400 Speaker 1: that wasn't by happenstance, that wasn't by Ax. And Ed 1684 01:17:49,840 --> 01:17:51,639 Speaker 1: had one of the best minds for the game I've 1685 01:17:51,640 --> 01:17:54,400 Speaker 1: ever seen. He took. You talk about taking chances, I 1686 01:17:54,439 --> 01:17:56,679 Speaker 1: mean there were times while you know, I'm Ed standing 1687 01:17:56,760 --> 01:17:58,640 Speaker 1: down with me in the flat, I'm going, aren't you 1688 01:17:58,680 --> 01:18:01,000 Speaker 1: supposed to be in the middle? That post just scored 1689 01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:03,599 Speaker 1: a touchdown, you know, So sometimes you know he'd take 1690 01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:06,519 Speaker 1: he would take calculations, but obviously far more to the 1691 01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:09,200 Speaker 1: better than well, right, I mean, because he picked his 1692 01:18:09,280 --> 01:18:12,840 Speaker 1: spots so well and and it took a phenomenal play 1693 01:18:12,880 --> 01:18:15,200 Speaker 1: to beat him. So good luck to Ed and congratulates 1694 01:18:15,240 --> 01:18:16,600 Speaker 1: with you for I know you guys are all in 1695 01:18:16,680 --> 01:18:22,280 Speaker 1: his corner.

Um there 1704 01:18:54,800 --> 01:18:56,639 Speaker 1: were he had. You know, the Bills have changed coaches 1705 01:18:56,680 --> 01:18:59,559 Speaker 1: so many times over the in this uh, in this millennium, 1706 01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:02,400 Speaker 1: he was always near the top of the list of 1707 01:19:02,479 --> 01:19:05,200 Speaker 1: possible Bills head coaching candidates, at least you know from 1708 01:19:05,560 --> 01:19:08,400 Speaker 1: after when Wade Phillips left. Do you think he would 1709 01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:10,600 Speaker 1: have been a successful coach with the Buffalo Bills. I 1710 01:19:10,600 --> 01:19:12,479 Speaker 1: think he would have been a successful coach wherever he went. 1711 01:19:12,760 --> 01:19:15,080 Speaker 1: He needed to. Uh, you know, he had the right 1712 01:19:15,120 --> 01:19:16,880 Speaker 1: piece of people around him have the rights toaff I mean, 1713 01:19:17,040 --> 01:19:18,720 Speaker 1: there's so many moving parts that don't have anything to 1714 01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:23,920 Speaker 1: do with him. I there's no no question he won. 1715 01:19:24,320 --> 01:19:28,240 Speaker 1: He was an offensive wizard. Really was the smart, intellectual 1716 01:19:28,320 --> 01:19:31,679 Speaker 1: guy because he won a He won a Super Bowl 1717 01:19:31,840 --> 01:19:34,400 Speaker 1: with maybe the greatest defense ever. Right, So how do 1718 01:19:34,479 --> 01:19:36,280 Speaker 1: we know he's an offensive wizard because he had nobody 1719 01:19:36,320 --> 01:19:39,000 Speaker 1: to worry. He had Trent Dilfer is his quarterback, and 1720 01:19:39,120 --> 01:19:41,320 Speaker 1: he had you know, like a buddy of mine, justin 1721 01:19:41,479 --> 01:19:43,680 Speaker 1: Armor was his wide receiver, you know. And he had 1722 01:19:43,720 --> 01:19:46,320 Speaker 1: these guys on the offensive side. They just you know, 1723 01:19:46,520 --> 01:19:50,439 Speaker 1: they struggled, struggled mightily, and you know they won games 1724 01:19:50,479 --> 01:19:52,320 Speaker 1: with field goals with a defensive was given up less 1725 01:19:52,320 --> 01:19:53,880 Speaker 1: than ten points a game or ten and a half 1726 01:19:53,920 --> 01:19:57,360 Speaker 1: points a game. And he was an offensive guy. And 1727 01:19:57,479 --> 01:20:01,000 Speaker 1: he I remember having production meetings with him. He he goes, 1728 01:20:01,240 --> 01:20:03,439 Speaker 1: everybody on my team is so specialized. I put these 1729 01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:05,880 Speaker 1: these three guys into run these three plays, and the 1730 01:20:05,960 --> 01:20:08,479 Speaker 1: next three guys are running this play. Different guys to 1731 01:20:08,600 --> 01:20:10,640 Speaker 1: run this play. I mean, he was really doing it 1732 01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:12,800 Speaker 1: with smoke and mirrors, offensively, with a defense that was 1733 01:20:12,880 --> 01:20:15,080 Speaker 1: dominant when a title. You can't take that away from him. 1734 01:20:15,120 --> 01:20:17,479 Speaker 1: We thank Brian Billiford being on the show before him. 1735 01:20:17,520 --> 01:20:20,120 Speaker 1: Of course we heard from great co sal who's always 1736 01:20:20,200 --> 01:20:22,960 Speaker 1: good even better, and we're laughing about having him in 1737 01:20:23,040 --> 01:20:24,760 Speaker 1: person as opposed to on Skype for the way we 1738 01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:26,880 Speaker 1: do on Fridays during the regular season.

He's gonna be joining 1778 01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:11,519 Speaker 1: and said two o'clock today. We had a conversation yesterday. 1779 01:22:11,680 --> 01:22:15,000 Speaker 1: Steve got a lot of traction on our Jamal Adams 1780 01:22:15,040 --> 01:22:19,080 Speaker 1: conversation Jet Safety Pro Bowl MVP just Sunday last week. 1781 01:22:19,360 --> 01:22:21,040 Speaker 1: A lot of people picked it up, including a Pro 1782 01:22:21,120 --> 01:22:24,800 Speaker 1: Football Talk said, Jamal Adams thinks Josh Allen is good 1783 01:22:25,080 --> 01:22:27,639 Speaker 1: the quote he's a phenomenal quarterback. Don't get me wrong, 1784 01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:30,800 Speaker 1: Adam said, via Ryan Talbot of New York Upstate dot Com. 1785 01:22:31,560 --> 01:22:33,559 Speaker 1: Ryan Tablet got the quotes from our show. But that's fine, 1786 01:22:33,640 --> 01:22:37,600 Speaker 1: that's all it works. But we had some people on 1787 01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:40,040 Speaker 1: Twitter saying yesterday, why would you talk to Jamal Adams 1788 01:22:40,080 --> 01:22:43,000 Speaker 1: of the Jets. First of all, he was a great guest, smart, 1789 01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:47,240 Speaker 1: Ronnie articulate. Secondly, he's a really good player who plays 1790 01:22:47,240 --> 01:22:49,320 Speaker 1: the Bills twice a year. I think his take on 1791 01:22:49,760 --> 01:22:51,760 Speaker 1: Josh Allen would be pretty valuable, and I thought it was. 1792 01:22:51,840 --> 01:22:53,840 Speaker 1: It made news around the league, particularly since he's one 1793 01:22:53,840 --> 01:22:55,840 Speaker 1: of the guys who has to study Josh Allens. Yeah, 1794 01:22:55,880 --> 01:22:58,560 Speaker 1: Like it's not like asking, you know, Sam Darnold or 1795 01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:02,880 Speaker 1: a running back Sony Michelle or somebody about playing Josh 1796 01:23:02,920 --> 01:23:05,000 Speaker 1: Allen's Royce. You're talking about a guy who Josh Allen's 1797 01:23:05,040 --> 01:23:09,559 Speaker 1: thrown into his secondary um. So yeah, he's he's probably 1798 01:23:09,600 --> 01:23:12,040 Speaker 1: pretty insightful about what he sees in Josh Allens compared 1799 01:23:12,080 --> 01:23:16,040 Speaker 1: to everybody else. We'll talk about Sunday's game as well, 1800 01:23:16,160 --> 01:23:18,560 Speaker 1: and your thoughts on the Super Bowl. So yesterday we 1801 01:23:18,680 --> 01:23:21,000 Speaker 1: did if the Rams win, who would be the MVP? 1802 01:23:21,120 --> 01:23:23,479 Speaker 1: I think Jared Goff one that yesterday in terms of 1803 01:23:23,520 --> 01:23:26,599 Speaker 1: the fan polling on on Twitter. Right the Twitter poll, 1804 01:23:26,760 --> 01:23:28,519 Speaker 1: I think it was Jared Goff. I think you're right. 1805 01:23:28,600 --> 01:23:31,800 Speaker 1: Today's question, if the Patriots win Sunday Super Bowl, who 1806 01:23:31,840 --> 01:23:33,920 Speaker 1: would be their MVP? Give us a call. We got 1807 01:23:33,960 --> 01:23:36,559 Speaker 1: phone lines open eight o three five fifty and toll 1808 01:23:36,640 --> 01:23:41,160 Speaker 1: free one eight eight eight five. On the Twitter poll itself, 1809 01:23:41,280 --> 01:23:44,240 Speaker 1: oh my god, fifty one percent take what I took 1810 01:23:44,280 --> 01:23:47,439 Speaker 1: the field, forty nine percent take Tom Brady it's neck 1811 01:23:47,479 --> 01:23:49,840 Speaker 1: and wet neck. Fifty one percent of you think that 1812 01:23:49,920 --> 01:23:54,400 Speaker 1: if the Rams win. Past Twitter pol is absolutely in 1813 01:23:54,479 --> 01:23:56,479 Speaker 1: your paycheck. This is awesome because now I can make 1814 01:23:56,520 --> 01:24:00,320 Speaker 1: that arguments for Tom Brady, because now that he's fallen 1815 01:24:00,320 --> 01:24:02,439 Speaker 1: behind by a percentage point, I can stop arguing for 1816 01:24:02,479 --> 01:24:04,719 Speaker 1: the field. I would argue the field, I would argue 1817 01:24:05,040 --> 01:24:08,160 Speaker 1: I think Sony Michelle might be the likeliest candidate and 1818 01:24:08,240 --> 01:24:11,720 Speaker 1: the rest of the Patriots roster to be the MVP. Yeah, 1819 01:24:11,840 --> 01:24:16,000 Speaker 1: I mean it's certainly could be. But listen, tom Brady's 1820 01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:17,559 Speaker 1: gonna have to make some throws in this game. They're 1821 01:24:17,560 --> 01:24:20,000 Speaker 1: gonna be chasing him around. It's gonna come down to 1822 01:24:20,560 --> 01:24:23,040 Speaker 1: how well they protect him. He doesn't run. He can't 1823 01:24:23,160 --> 01:24:26,240 Speaker 1: run very well, even at his best. He doesn't throw 1824 01:24:26,320 --> 01:24:29,120 Speaker 1: the ball on the move very well. And I think 1825 01:24:29,720 --> 01:24:31,920 Speaker 1: most of us have seen Tom most of us in 1826 01:24:32,520 --> 01:24:37,200 Speaker 1: you know, Bill's fan country, They've seen Tom Brady throws 1827 01:24:37,240 --> 01:24:39,519 Speaker 1: so many passes where he drops back and when he 1828 01:24:39,640 --> 01:24:41,439 Speaker 1: decides to throw what the ball's gone. He never has 1829 01:24:41,479 --> 01:24:44,280 Speaker 1: to double clutch. The only time you see him do 1830 01:24:44,320 --> 01:24:46,360 Speaker 1: that is when he's pumped faking. When he does it 1831 01:24:46,479 --> 01:24:50,040 Speaker 1: on purpose, the ball comes out on time. That's really 1832 01:24:50,120 --> 01:24:52,240 Speaker 1: hard to get to him when the ball comes out 1833 01:24:52,280 --> 01:24:55,880 Speaker 1: on time. And I think with the defensive front of 1834 01:24:55,960 --> 01:24:59,080 Speaker 1: the Rams. You can bet that they're focused on the 1835 01:24:59,120 --> 01:25:01,400 Speaker 1: run game and the of the Patriots. It's gonna be 1836 01:25:01,439 --> 01:25:03,120 Speaker 1: hard to run on this Rams front. If not, if 1837 01:25:03,160 --> 01:25:05,280 Speaker 1: they can't run on it, it's gonna fall on Tom 1838 01:25:05,320 --> 01:25:07,320 Speaker 1: Brady and he could very well have a big day. 1839 01:25:07,400 --> 01:25:10,000 Speaker 1: Here's some feedback from the tweet sheet. And our question 1840 01:25:10,160 --> 01:25:12,639 Speaker 1: is if the Patriots win, who would be their MVP? 1841 01:25:12,840 --> 01:25:15,679 Speaker 1: Nick Blake tweets and I voted for who gives a damn? 1842 01:25:16,600 --> 01:25:19,160 Speaker 1: He said, I'm tired of listening about the Patriots on 1843 01:25:19,240 --> 01:25:22,040 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. Go to New England and broadcast. If 1844 01:25:22,080 --> 01:25:24,599 Speaker 1: you like them so much, please stop. Can we talk 1845 01:25:24,640 --> 01:25:26,800 Speaker 1: Bills football? He wants to know. Sure, Nick, give us 1846 01:25:26,840 --> 01:25:29,519 Speaker 1: a call eight three fifty to three one eight eight 1847 01:25:29,960 --> 01:25:31,720 Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty We're I was ready to 1848 01:25:31,720 --> 01:25:33,600 Speaker 1: talk to Bill's football. There is a game Sunday that 1849 01:25:33,640 --> 01:25:35,519 Speaker 1: the Bills are not involved in, and we are at 1850 01:25:35,560 --> 01:25:37,000 Speaker 1: the sight of that game, which is why we're talking 1851 01:25:37,000 --> 01:25:41,559 Speaker 1: about the Patriots. Look not a Patriots fan, but I've 1852 01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:44,720 Speaker 1: told you yesterday I acknowledge and respect what they've done 1853 01:25:44,800 --> 01:25:47,479 Speaker 1: to be back here in the championship game, to do 1854 01:25:47,600 --> 01:25:50,080 Speaker 1: what they've done to alter their style during the course 1855 01:25:50,120 --> 01:25:53,639 Speaker 1: of the season. If you don't recognize that as greatness, 1856 01:25:53,680 --> 01:25:56,040 Speaker 1: if you don't recognize the Patriots as greatness, you're not 1857 01:25:56,120 --> 01:25:59,360 Speaker 1: paying attention. Yeah, and as begrudgingly as it's got to 1858 01:25:59,400 --> 01:26:01,600 Speaker 1: come from Bill fans, and how bitter they've got to 1859 01:26:01,640 --> 01:26:03,720 Speaker 1: be about it. And you and I too, we've you know, 1860 01:26:04,040 --> 01:26:06,040 Speaker 1: we've done it too. We've sat here and we were 1861 01:26:06,080 --> 01:26:08,720 Speaker 1: Buffalo guys. We've sat in Buffalo for the last you 1862 01:26:08,960 --> 01:26:11,080 Speaker 1: for your whole life, me for the last three decades. 1863 01:26:11,400 --> 01:26:13,400 Speaker 1: And we're all part of the same you know, fan base. 1864 01:26:13,520 --> 01:26:16,200 Speaker 1: We're watching it and you know, he kind of wish 1865 01:26:16,240 --> 01:26:18,640 Speaker 1: it was us, you know what I mean, And so 1866 01:26:18,800 --> 01:26:21,240 Speaker 1: you got to acknowledge how great they've been, but also 1867 01:26:21,360 --> 01:26:25,599 Speaker 1: by the same token. Um some days that it's gonna 1868 01:26:25,680 --> 01:26:28,200 Speaker 1: turn and it might be on the horizon pretty quick here, 1869 01:26:28,200 --> 01:26:30,240 Speaker 1: and it's gonna be fun to see. I think, I 1870 01:26:30,920 --> 01:26:33,640 Speaker 1: I'm I'm you and I've been talking all week. You know, 1871 01:26:33,720 --> 01:26:36,080 Speaker 1: Josh Allen's gonna parachute into town.

I am drunk on it. 1882 01:27:07,439 --> 01:27:09,679 Speaker 1: I am drunk on the kool a let alone sipp 1883 01:27:09,680 --> 01:27:12,000 Speaker 1: in it. I am loving it. I think it's gonna 1884 01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:14,920 Speaker 1: be awesome. And there's no question they got work to do. Absolutely. 1885 01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:18,880 Speaker 1: But you know, this is a different man. We're in 1886 01:27:18,960 --> 01:27:22,040 Speaker 1: a different workshop than we've been in last you know, 1887 01:27:22,120 --> 01:27:25,080 Speaker 1: working on our team last you know, ten fifteen years. 1888 01:27:25,520 --> 01:27:28,160 Speaker 1: We're in a different shop. Now we're in We're not 1889 01:27:28,320 --> 01:27:30,559 Speaker 1: in the engine shop anymore. You know, we're just put 1890 01:27:30,680 --> 01:27:33,519 Speaker 1: trying to find some tires for this thing, right Yeah, 1891 01:27:33,600 --> 01:27:36,320 Speaker 1: you're right, and it's just a different place we're at. 1892 01:27:36,560 --> 01:27:39,280 Speaker 1: You know, we've got a big engine right now. All 1893 01:27:39,320 --> 01:27:41,040 Speaker 1: we need is some wheels for it, and it's and 1894 01:27:41,160 --> 01:27:43,880 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna roll, and I'm I'm really excited 1895 01:27:43,880 --> 01:27:45,800 Speaker 1: about it. So for all you people who want to 1896 01:27:45,800 --> 01:27:48,639 Speaker 1: talk about Bill's football, give us a call. Um. If 1897 01:27:48,720 --> 01:27:51,080 Speaker 1: the Patriots win the Super Bowl, who would be the MVP? 1898 01:27:51,439 --> 01:27:53,640 Speaker 1: Eli Padilla tweets and the only way Brady will not 1899 01:27:53,760 --> 01:27:56,360 Speaker 1: be the MVP is if they have a huge running 1900 01:27:56,400 --> 01:27:59,080 Speaker 1: game from James White or Sony Mitchelle. But still, if 1901 01:27:59,120 --> 01:28:01,400 Speaker 1: he throws two touchs sounds, he will win it, especially 1902 01:28:01,439 --> 01:28:03,600 Speaker 1: if he doesn't get touched by Aaron Donald or and 1903 01:28:03,640 --> 01:28:06,560 Speaker 1: Dominican Sue. I guess so, I think Sony Michelle is 1904 01:28:06,600 --> 01:28:10,800 Speaker 1: the likeliest candidate other than Tom Brady to win the 1905 01:28:11,160 --> 01:28:14,320 Speaker 1: Super Bowl MVP. I'm not saying the Patriots you're gonna 1906 01:28:14,320 --> 01:28:16,080 Speaker 1: win either. I don't think I'm gonna tell you tomorrow. 1907 01:28:16,200 --> 01:28:18,479 Speaker 1: I'm gonna make a strong case tomorrow why the Rams 1908 01:28:18,520 --> 01:28:21,559 Speaker 1: will win. I will try to convince you I think 1909 01:28:21,600 --> 01:28:23,840 Speaker 1: the Patriots will win. I don't care who the MVP 1910 01:28:24,120 --> 01:28:27,960 Speaker 1: is because this Twitter poll is perfect. As long as 1911 01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:31,479 Speaker 1: this Twitter poll is forty nine one fifty fifty, we're gold. 1912 01:28:31,760 --> 01:28:34,200 Speaker 1: A couple of quick calls here David and Buffalo. Hi, David, 1913 01:28:34,240 --> 01:28:37,000 Speaker 1: you're on the air, all right. I like all these 1914 01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:39,960 Speaker 1: guys tweeting in about hating the Patriots and whatnot. And look, 1915 01:28:40,560 --> 01:28:44,320 Speaker 1: I dislike them, but I don't hate Patriots or Brady. 1916 01:28:44,439 --> 01:28:49,200 Speaker 1: I just hate how good they are. Yeah, there you go, 1917 01:28:49,479 --> 01:28:51,760 Speaker 1: all right, one more called Rich in Buffalo. Hi, Rich, 1918 01:28:51,840 --> 01:28:54,920 Speaker 1: go ahead, Jen, I'm a good afternoon. Um. I hate Brady, 1919 01:28:55,000 --> 01:28:59,120 Speaker 1: but I respect a lot of them. And this is 1920 01:28:59,200 --> 01:29:02,400 Speaker 1: what I'm thinking. It gonna be James White as a backfield. 1921 01:29:02,479 --> 01:29:05,120 Speaker 1: It's going to be a little bit of Philip doors set. 1922 01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:10,160 Speaker 1: It's my secret ingredients. If the Rams are going to win, 1923 01:29:10,720 --> 01:29:13,559 Speaker 1: it's got to be Josh Reynolds. He's got to get 1924 01:29:13,680 --> 01:29:16,439 Speaker 1: deep and he might be the secret weapon. But this 1925 01:29:16,640 --> 01:29:19,439 Speaker 1: is the thing I'm thinking of too. If Brock sets 1926 01:29:19,479 --> 01:29:22,760 Speaker 1: off into the sunset, they're going to beat him the 1927 01:29:22,840 --> 01:29:27,800 Speaker 1: ball to say, Saylor be well, that's the thanks Rich. 1928 01:29:27,800 --> 01:29:30,680 Speaker 1: I don't think your Patriots operate like that, Steve. If look, 1929 01:29:30,720 --> 01:29:33,479 Speaker 1: gron could be the MVP, but that would be because 1930 01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:35,960 Speaker 1: they need him to win this game. But it might 1931 01:29:36,040 --> 01:29:38,200 Speaker 1: be they may the Patriots may not think that way, 1932 01:29:38,880 --> 01:29:43,120 Speaker 1: but Tom Brady might. Well yeah, but he can't jeopardize 1933 01:29:43,360 --> 01:29:45,840 Speaker 1: a winn or loss based on pat on the back 1934 01:29:45,880 --> 01:29:48,560 Speaker 1: for a Rob Groun Cowman's murph, Tom Brady, dude, just 1935 01:29:48,600 --> 01:29:51,760 Speaker 1: about whatever, Tom Brady, now you have you're drinking Patriots cool. 1936 01:29:51,920 --> 01:29:53,760 Speaker 1: I'm not drinking Patriots cool.

He would do it. 1939 01:29:56,960 --> 01:29:59,719 Speaker 1: But I'm with you, that's not They're not gonna change 1940 01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:02,320 Speaker 1: anything in order to get Gronkowski the ball in a 1941 01:30:02,520 --> 01:30:04,479 Speaker 1: spot where they think somebody else should get it.

It's 2029 01:34:05,560 --> 01:34:08,320 Speaker 1: not why I did it. But I'm not gonna. I'm 2030 01:34:08,320 --> 01:34:09,800 Speaker 1: not gonna. I'm not gonna lie to and say doesn't 2031 01:34:09,800 --> 01:34:11,120 Speaker 1: feel pretty dang good. You got a job to do 2032 01:34:11,240 --> 01:34:12,879 Speaker 1: this week. You're gonna be the sidelines for the Westwood 2033 01:34:12,920 --> 01:34:16,360 Speaker 1: one national broadcast with Kevin Harland in the booth along 2034 01:34:16,439 --> 01:34:20,360 Speaker 1: with Uh, it's gonna be I think Mike Holmgren's and uh, 2035 01:34:20,760 --> 01:34:24,120 Speaker 1: Kurt Warner, Kevin Harland up in the booth. It'll be 2036 01:34:24,200 --> 01:34:27,200 Speaker 1: me and Edward or on the sideline. Uh, it'll be fun, 2037 01:34:27,320 --> 01:34:29,280 Speaker 1: It'll be good. It's uh, I never got to play. 2038 01:34:29,320 --> 01:34:30,720 Speaker 1: You gotta play with four of these in a row. 2039 01:34:31,240 --> 01:34:34,200 Speaker 1: I didn't get that opportunity. It's it's a regret that 2040 01:34:34,360 --> 01:34:36,160 Speaker 1: I you know, it's a team game, so you get 2041 01:34:36,200 --> 01:34:38,000 Speaker 1: a lot of things have to go your way. And 2042 01:34:38,120 --> 01:34:41,040 Speaker 1: so the closest I get after playing a couple AFC 2043 01:34:41,720 --> 01:34:43,360 Speaker 1: being a part of a couple of AFC title games, 2044 01:34:43,680 --> 01:34:45,600 Speaker 1: is to be on the sidelines for this game and 2045 01:34:45,760 --> 01:34:48,760 Speaker 1: to be around it. And Steve can explain as better 2046 01:34:48,760 --> 01:34:51,960 Speaker 1: than I do, But there's a different tension in feeling 2047 01:34:52,120 --> 01:34:54,200 Speaker 1: in this game, and I can only imagine as a 2048 01:34:54,240 --> 01:34:55,760 Speaker 1: player what it's like. I got a Hall of Fame 2049 01:34:55,880 --> 01:34:58,040 Speaker 1: question for you again, and you've been through this before 2050 01:34:58,080 --> 01:35:00,599 Speaker 1: as a finalist, Do you hand it? Have the field? 2051 01:35:00,640 --> 01:35:03,559 Speaker 1: I mean you look at you, Alan Fanica, you got 2052 01:35:03,640 --> 01:35:05,880 Speaker 1: Kevin Mawhy, you got yourself. I mean, do you think 2053 01:35:05,920 --> 01:35:08,360 Speaker 1: they're not gonna put three offensive linemen? And you actually 2054 01:35:08,360 --> 01:35:11,679 Speaker 1: find yourself thinking that ry not to, Okay, I really 2055 01:35:11,800 --> 01:35:14,760 Speaker 1: try not to, because this is why I don't want 2056 01:35:14,760 --> 01:35:17,720 Speaker 1: to ever be a guy who is trying to put 2057 01:35:17,800 --> 01:35:21,200 Speaker 1: other guys down to like make my case or to 2058 01:35:21,280 --> 01:35:24,560 Speaker 1: put myself above them because of whatever reason, because I 2059 01:35:24,600 --> 01:35:26,559 Speaker 1: respect the game too much and I respect these guys 2060 01:35:26,600 --> 01:35:29,719 Speaker 1: as individuals and what they've done. Um it's a tough choice. 2061 01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:34,519 Speaker 1: You know, if you got fifteen individuals, players coaches that 2062 01:35:34,720 --> 01:35:38,280 Speaker 1: made an impact in this game, and we're some of 2063 01:35:38,320 --> 01:35:41,880 Speaker 1: the best at what they did, and so I don't 2064 01:35:41,920 --> 01:35:44,160 Speaker 1: I try to have to handicap it at the same time, 2065 01:35:44,320 --> 01:35:47,439 Speaker 1: you're human, I mean, like, come on, Ed Reid and 2066 01:35:47,479 --> 01:35:51,040 Speaker 1: Tony Gonzalz are getting in there, any questions? Right? So 2067 01:35:51,160 --> 01:35:54,559 Speaker 1: that's three spots that are left out of five, right, 2068 01:35:54,640 --> 01:35:56,120 Speaker 1: and you kind of look around as like, how are 2069 01:35:56,160 --> 01:35:58,760 Speaker 1: they gonna and there's four offensive linemen in that. Um 2070 01:35:58,800 --> 01:36:01,360 Speaker 1: I always tell people at least I'm only tackle, so right, 2071 01:36:01,760 --> 01:36:05,160 Speaker 1: a little different there, But it's tough if if it's 2072 01:36:05,240 --> 01:36:09,800 Speaker 1: as people handicapped this field, not candidates. They look at 2073 01:36:09,840 --> 01:36:11,360 Speaker 1: you and they look at the others. Compare one thing. 2074 01:36:11,360 --> 01:36:13,280 Speaker 1: People look at you and say, well, yeah, great career, 2075 01:36:13,560 --> 01:36:15,960 Speaker 1: wasn't long enough. Do you think about that? Do you 2076 01:36:16,080 --> 01:36:18,160 Speaker 1: respond to that you care that people would say that, well, 2077 01:36:18,200 --> 01:36:21,360 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously you care because but it's true. I 2078 01:36:21,439 --> 01:36:24,200 Speaker 1: mean as far as my career length. But my response 2079 01:36:24,320 --> 01:36:27,760 Speaker 1: is I didn't plan on blowing my shoulder out right, 2080 01:36:27,880 --> 01:36:31,320 Speaker 1: having surgery that went bad, and having multiple surgeries after that, 2081 01:36:31,439 --> 01:36:33,280 Speaker 1: trying to fix it, and I did everything I could 2082 01:36:33,320 --> 01:36:35,240 Speaker 1: in my power to come back and play. It didn't 2083 01:36:35,280 --> 01:36:38,720 Speaker 1: work out. There's other guys who've had shorter careers than 2084 01:36:38,800 --> 01:36:39,960 Speaker 1: me that are in the Hall of Fame. I mean, 2085 01:36:40,080 --> 01:36:42,040 Speaker 1: Terrell Davis played less games than I did. Sure, you 2086 01:36:42,080 --> 01:36:44,559 Speaker 1: know Dwight Stevenson a great center for the Dolphins. I mean, 2087 01:36:44,640 --> 01:36:47,160 Speaker 1: there's a handful of guys. It is what it is. 2088 01:36:47,240 --> 01:36:49,320 Speaker 1: I think you have to just judge it based on 2089 01:36:49,479 --> 01:36:51,519 Speaker 1: what I did, and I did it for this amount 2090 01:36:51,520 --> 01:36:53,360 Speaker 1: of time and there's nothing I can do to change that. 2091 01:36:53,600 --> 01:36:55,439 Speaker 1: One of the things about your Hall of Fame candidacy 2092 01:36:55,560 --> 01:36:58,400 Speaker 1: that I think Bills fans respond to is the battles 2093 01:36:58,439 --> 01:37:00,679 Speaker 1: you had with Bruce Smith, what maybe half a dozen 2094 01:37:00,760 --> 01:37:03,360 Speaker 1: over the years. They were classic, though, and you know 2095 01:37:03,479 --> 01:37:06,760 Speaker 1: it weren't many people neutralized Bruce Smith. You appeared to 2096 01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:08,800 Speaker 1: have at least a chance of doing that whenever you 2097 01:37:08,960 --> 01:37:11,760 Speaker 1: lined up against him. Well, Bruce Smith is one of 2098 01:37:11,800 --> 01:37:13,920 Speaker 1: those guys that we talked about that's gonna be remembered 2099 01:37:13,920 --> 01:37:15,559 Speaker 1: forever in this game because he's one of the best 2100 01:37:15,640 --> 01:37:17,840 Speaker 1: in the business to ever do it from the defense 2101 01:37:17,960 --> 01:37:20,200 Speaker 1: ending position. And I remember that game and when we 2102 01:37:20,280 --> 01:37:22,719 Speaker 1: came up there for the playoffs after the ninety sixth season, 2103 01:37:22,800 --> 01:37:26,000 Speaker 1: and Bruce was the defensive MVP, was the best player 2104 01:37:26,040 --> 01:37:27,960 Speaker 1: in football on that side of the ball. And I 2105 01:37:28,000 --> 01:37:29,559 Speaker 1: remember as a young guy, I was the second year player. 2106 01:37:29,600 --> 01:37:32,240 Speaker 1: I'm watching tape all week, and usually I'd watched two 2107 01:37:32,360 --> 01:37:34,000 Speaker 1: or three games and kind of get a feel for 2108 01:37:34,080 --> 01:37:36,760 Speaker 1: what the guy wanted to do. And I watched two 2109 01:37:36,800 --> 01:37:39,360 Speaker 1: games and don't want blocked him yet. And he hit 2110 01:37:39,400 --> 01:37:42,000 Speaker 1: the quarterback about every day in behind, and he was 2111 01:37:42,040 --> 01:37:43,840 Speaker 1: great against the run two which he didn't probably get 2112 01:37:43,840 --> 01:37:46,120 Speaker 1: credit for, right. And then all of a sudden, I 2113 01:37:46,160 --> 01:37:48,080 Speaker 1: saw I'm like a couple more. I watched like eight 2114 01:37:48,160 --> 01:37:50,559 Speaker 1: games and I never saw him one blocking and I'll 2115 01:37:50,560 --> 01:37:52,960 Speaker 1: never forget My offensive line coach Mike Mazer comes with 2116 01:37:52,960 --> 01:37:55,519 Speaker 1: about Friday, and we had no Here's the other thing. 2117 01:37:55,560 --> 01:37:58,479 Speaker 1: The way we blocked. We didn't have a We didn't slide, 2118 01:37:59,160 --> 01:38:01,280 Speaker 1: you weren't chipping or there was no game plan. So 2119 01:38:01,560 --> 01:38:03,160 Speaker 1: back in my mind's like, when are we gonna game 2120 01:38:03,200 --> 01:38:05,599 Speaker 1: plan for Bruce Smith? Because someone needs to be aware 2121 01:38:05,640 --> 01:38:09,160 Speaker 1: of raising your hand. And but I remember Friday that 2122 01:38:09,280 --> 01:38:11,080 Speaker 1: came up to me the offensive line coaches, what do 2123 01:38:11,160 --> 01:38:12,760 Speaker 1: you think? And I said, what do you mean when 2124 01:38:12,920 --> 01:38:15,400 Speaker 1: I think if you watched him, he's a monster. It's 2125 01:38:15,439 --> 01:38:17,920 Speaker 1: Friday and Friday and I said, I said, this is 2126 01:38:18,000 --> 01:38:19,519 Speaker 1: but I'll tell you this. I said, I'm not sure 2127 01:38:19,600 --> 01:38:21,120 Speaker 1: how I'm gonna do it at this point, but I 2128 01:38:21,160 --> 01:38:24,719 Speaker 1: promise you this, I'm gonna block him. And with that said, 2129 01:38:24,720 --> 01:38:27,000 Speaker 1: it was a little bit of false confidence because I've 2130 01:38:27,040 --> 01:38:29,000 Speaker 1: never been more nervous going into a football game. And 2131 01:38:29,040 --> 01:38:32,080 Speaker 1: I remember walking out of the locker room. The visuals 2132 01:38:32,080 --> 01:38:34,400 Speaker 1: locker room were walking down and you guys have the 2133 01:38:34,560 --> 01:38:38,080 Speaker 1: best fans. I'm they're amazing. It was the loudest place 2134 01:38:38,080 --> 01:38:41,040 Speaker 1: I've ever played in my entire career. And secondly, I've 2135 01:38:41,080 --> 01:38:44,160 Speaker 1: never been called more bad names walking from the locker 2136 01:38:44,240 --> 01:38:46,040 Speaker 1: room to where we wind up. And the whole time 2137 01:38:46,040 --> 01:38:48,320 Speaker 1: I'm lining up, all they're saying is you're gonna be 2138 01:38:48,560 --> 01:38:51,800 Speaker 1: Bruce Smith blankety blanket today. And I looked at one 2139 01:38:51,800 --> 01:38:53,960 Speaker 1: of the offensive live and I go, man, I sure 2140 01:38:54,040 --> 01:38:58,760 Speaker 1: hope not at Tony Vaselli joins us he's got the 2141 01:38:58,800 --> 01:39:00,840 Speaker 1: call of the game, and Steve mentioned sideline reporter for 2142 01:39:00,880 --> 01:39:03,280 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. You also do Jacksonville Jaguars video on 2143 01:39:03,320 --> 01:39:06,000 Speaker 1: a regular basis. What's going on down there with quarterbacks? 2144 01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:08,599 Speaker 1: Who's gonna be their quarterback? It's not gonna be Blake Portals, 2145 01:39:08,720 --> 01:39:11,720 Speaker 1: That's all I can tell you. And I hate saying 2146 01:39:11,720 --> 01:39:13,320 Speaker 1: that because Blake Borrow is one of my favorite guys 2147 01:39:13,600 --> 01:39:15,479 Speaker 1: on the team. I mean just I've met and talked 2148 01:39:15,479 --> 01:39:17,200 Speaker 1: with him. He's a great guy. He's a great Guy's 2149 01:39:17,200 --> 01:39:20,000 Speaker 1: a probably just can't throw it not accurate, and in 2150 01:39:20,080 --> 01:39:24,000 Speaker 1: today's NFL you have to do that. I think they're 2151 01:39:24,000 --> 01:39:25,840 Speaker 1: gonna go after Nick Foles either, They're gonna make a 2152 01:39:25,880 --> 01:39:28,920 Speaker 1: run at Nick Foles. If they don't get that, I'm 2153 01:39:28,960 --> 01:39:30,840 Speaker 1: not sure what they'll do. You know, there's a couple 2154 01:39:30,880 --> 01:39:33,240 Speaker 1: other veterans out there, you know, Joe Flacco, guys like that. 2155 01:39:33,960 --> 01:39:35,720 Speaker 1: Even the regardless of what they do free agency, I 2156 01:39:35,720 --> 01:39:37,160 Speaker 1: still think they drafted some one of the top ten. 2157 01:39:37,240 --> 01:39:39,479 Speaker 1: What do you think the plan of attack will be 2158 01:39:39,560 --> 01:39:41,120 Speaker 1: to get a guy like Nick FOLIHI gonna try and 2159 01:39:41,120 --> 01:39:42,640 Speaker 1: trade for him? Or will they try and wait to 2160 01:39:42,680 --> 01:39:44,960 Speaker 1: see what happens with the twenty million dollars balloon payment? 2161 01:39:45,439 --> 01:39:48,320 Speaker 1: Will they wait for Philly? Yeah, I think they're gonna 2162 01:39:48,320 --> 01:39:50,400 Speaker 1: wait to play because I don't see Philly paying them 2163 01:39:50,400 --> 01:39:52,840 Speaker 1: twenty million dollars to be the backup. And they've already 2164 01:39:52,840 --> 01:39:55,320 Speaker 1: said Carson Wentz is there guy? Sure? So I think 2165 01:39:55,360 --> 01:39:58,080 Speaker 1: he's gonna be a free agent unless someone else jumps 2166 01:39:58,120 --> 01:40:01,200 Speaker 1: in there, to your point in trades for him before 2167 01:40:01,320 --> 01:40:03,200 Speaker 1: Jacksonville or another team can get to him. I think 2168 01:40:03,240 --> 01:40:06,439 Speaker 1: they sit back and wait. The thing with this team 2169 01:40:06,479 --> 01:40:09,920 Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, they're really good defensively. Like everyone said, oh 2170 01:40:10,000 --> 01:40:12,200 Speaker 1: they fell off defensively this year, they weren't very good. 2171 01:40:12,520 --> 01:40:16,759 Speaker 1: They were top five and scoring defense and yards defense 2172 01:40:16,880 --> 01:40:19,479 Speaker 1: is not the problem there. Offensively, they could not get 2173 01:40:19,520 --> 01:40:20,680 Speaker 1: out of their own way. I think one of the 2174 01:40:20,760 --> 01:40:22,439 Speaker 1: things that they were different two years ago when they 2175 01:40:22,520 --> 01:40:26,680 Speaker 1: got to the championship game. Because your offense was so 2176 01:40:28,560 --> 01:40:32,040 Speaker 1: was struggled so much. They didn't put the other team's 2177 01:40:32,080 --> 01:40:34,479 Speaker 1: offense in any form of desperations. He didn't get really 2178 01:40:34,520 --> 01:40:36,800 Speaker 1: turnovers that you did not two years ago. So it's 2179 01:40:36,800 --> 01:40:39,320 Speaker 1: a great point. So I think you look two years ago, 2180 01:40:39,320 --> 01:40:40,280 Speaker 1: and this is why I think a lot of people 2181 01:40:40,280 --> 01:40:42,360 Speaker 1: said the defense fell off. Two years ago. They had 2182 01:40:42,360 --> 01:40:48,240 Speaker 1: fifty five sacks, thirty three turnovers, which is eight defensive touchdowns, 2183 01:40:48,720 --> 01:40:50,960 Speaker 1: and so they carried this team right. And so they 2184 01:40:51,000 --> 01:40:53,800 Speaker 1: were historically good and now they just came to be 2185 01:40:53,880 --> 01:40:57,400 Speaker 1: good and offensively, they did nothing to help out and 2186 01:40:57,600 --> 01:40:59,639 Speaker 1: raise their They didn't put it, they didn't score enough points, 2187 01:40:59,680 --> 01:41:01,360 Speaker 1: they didn't put the other team in any jeopardy. That 2188 01:41:01,439 --> 01:41:03,559 Speaker 1: never played from the league, that kind of thing. Yeah, 2189 01:41:03,560 --> 01:41:05,600 Speaker 1: that's right. One more jaguar's question for you, And of 2190 01:41:05,640 --> 01:41:07,800 Speaker 1: course we know Doug Maron a little bit. Yeah, Um, 2191 01:41:08,040 --> 01:41:10,720 Speaker 1: does he with last year's disappointment really had to be 2192 01:41:10,720 --> 01:41:13,320 Speaker 1: a disappointed year. Does he lose and a luster especially 2193 01:41:13,360 --> 01:41:15,920 Speaker 1: with Tom Coughlin, they're calling the shots, many of the shots. Well, 2194 01:41:15,960 --> 01:41:18,600 Speaker 1: I think it's an interesting year for everybody on the 2195 01:41:18,640 --> 01:41:21,280 Speaker 1: football side, and I mean from Tom all the way down. 2196 01:41:22,200 --> 01:41:24,280 Speaker 1: H this is a team that has a really good defense. 2197 01:41:24,280 --> 01:41:26,000 Speaker 1: They've spent a lot of money in free agency, and 2198 01:41:26,320 --> 01:41:28,519 Speaker 1: this was a big disappointment because a lot of people 2199 01:41:28,600 --> 01:41:31,880 Speaker 1: had them being one of the premiering another step yeah, 2200 01:41:31,920 --> 01:41:35,120 Speaker 1: and they didn't do it. They brought and Doug made 2201 01:41:35,160 --> 01:41:38,320 Speaker 1: a number of changes on the staff. This offense hackets gone, yeah, well, 2202 01:41:38,320 --> 01:41:40,120 Speaker 1: and he fired the offensive line coach, he fired a 2203 01:41:40,200 --> 01:41:42,960 Speaker 1: dB coach, he fired d line coach, A number of 2204 01:41:43,080 --> 01:41:45,559 Speaker 1: changes were made. Running back coach was gone, Tyrone Wheatley. 2205 01:41:45,600 --> 01:41:47,800 Speaker 1: I think who was in Buffalo? What he was? Yum, 2206 01:41:48,400 --> 01:41:50,200 Speaker 1: and so I think it is the message would send. 2207 01:41:50,240 --> 01:41:53,519 Speaker 1: It's like, listen, I'm making changes because I think Doug 2208 01:41:53,640 --> 01:41:56,400 Speaker 1: understands this year. I hate I never like to say 2209 01:41:56,439 --> 01:41:58,400 Speaker 1: make or break it, but you better win some football 2210 01:41:58,400 --> 01:42:00,599 Speaker 1: games otherwise you might not be back less thing. Who 2211 01:42:00,640 --> 01:42:02,160 Speaker 1: do you got in this game, Sunny, who you think's 2212 01:42:02,160 --> 01:42:05,320 Speaker 1: gonna win? I mean, I picked the Chargers in the 2213 01:42:05,400 --> 01:42:08,479 Speaker 1: divisional round, I picked the Chiefs in the FC Championship round. 2214 01:42:08,760 --> 01:42:12,120 Speaker 1: Taking the Patriots this year, I'm tired of going against 2215 01:42:12,160 --> 01:42:16,360 Speaker 1: Tom Brady. I think they're the Tony will be pulling 2216 01:42:16,439 --> 01:42:19,200 Speaker 1: for you, so thank you very much. Great stuff man, 2217 01:42:19,280 --> 01:42:22,240 Speaker 1: have a great weekend. Tony Vasselli, longtime offensive lineman for 2218 01:42:22,240 --> 01:42:25,200 Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguards, great battles with Bruce Smith, and now 2219 01:42:25,240 --> 01:42:27,720 Speaker 1: a finalist again for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. 2220 01:42:28,120 --> 01:42:30,800 Speaker 1: Tony Vasselli. They'll vote on its Saturday. Usually what it 2221 01:42:30,840 --> 01:42:33,400 Speaker 1: comes out around late in the afternoon, early in the evening, Steve, Yeah, 2222 01:42:33,400 --> 01:42:35,960 Speaker 1: it's actually actually two o'clock. It's two o'clock the thing. 2223 01:42:36,120 --> 01:42:38,640 Speaker 1: I think that the vote the meeting begins or no, 2224 01:42:39,240 --> 01:42:42,040 Speaker 1: I think that's when they do it. They meet over lunch. Uh. 2225 01:42:42,160 --> 01:42:44,439 Speaker 1: They as long as it takes. And I think they 2226 01:42:44,520 --> 01:42:48,040 Speaker 1: have a scheduled announcement at like two pm um because 2227 01:42:48,040 --> 01:42:49,640 Speaker 1: they don't want it to get later in the night 2228 01:42:49,680 --> 01:42:51,479 Speaker 1: because of all the TV stuff going on. So I 2229 01:42:51,520 --> 01:42:53,760 Speaker 1: think they do it well. They do the show right, right, 2230 01:42:54,640 --> 01:42:57,439 Speaker 1: they do it leaks before they typically, doesn't it, Yeah, 2231 01:42:57,520 --> 01:42:59,160 Speaker 1: I think so. Yeah, because they got to assemble the 2232 01:42:59,200 --> 01:43:03,200 Speaker 1: guys and having walked out on stage at the honorship, right. Yeah. 2233 01:43:03,200 --> 01:43:04,560 Speaker 1: I don't know. I didn't see how they did it 2234 01:43:04,640 --> 01:43:05,920 Speaker 1: last year. But it used to be that they'd bring 2235 01:43:06,000 --> 01:43:08,200 Speaker 1: the guys into a conference where they they'd come out 2236 01:43:08,240 --> 01:43:10,040 Speaker 1: on a podium and announced it. I don't if they 2237 01:43:10,080 --> 01:43:11,280 Speaker 1: do that, do that? I think they do it on 2238 01:43:11,320 --> 01:43:13,639 Speaker 1: the TV show. Try to watch that stuff. I don't 2239 01:43:13,640 --> 01:43:16,160 Speaker 1: know Tony even SELLI one of the finalists for that. 2240 01:43:16,760 --> 01:43:18,479 Speaker 1: Let me go through the list here, Stephen, and give 2241 01:43:18,520 --> 01:43:20,920 Speaker 1: me your thoughts, not on each guy, but which of 2242 01:43:20,960 --> 01:43:23,439 Speaker 1: these guys, Uh, you know, let's say five get elected, 2243 01:43:23,680 --> 01:43:27,040 Speaker 1: Tony Gonzalez and Ed Reid. Do we agree there? I do. 2244 01:43:27,680 --> 01:43:29,880 Speaker 1: I'm not sure that Tony Gonzalez is a shoeing locke. 2245 01:43:30,360 --> 01:43:33,519 Speaker 1: I know Ed Reid is all right?

You know, they're 2259 01:44:20,840 --> 01:44:24,679 Speaker 1: all see this the thing. Um, it's hard to set 2260 01:44:24,760 --> 01:44:27,439 Speaker 1: some of these guys aside when there's so many of 2261 01:44:27,520 --> 01:44:31,640 Speaker 1: them that are to me, um, the Saint. You know, 2262 01:44:31,680 --> 01:44:34,000 Speaker 1: they're that they hold the same esteem in my mind. 2263 01:44:34,360 --> 01:44:36,080 Speaker 1: You know what? In a couple more names before I 2264 01:44:36,200 --> 01:44:39,960 Speaker 1: discussed this with you, Richard Seymour, Don Corriell coach, Tom 2265 01:44:40,000 --> 01:44:43,320 Speaker 1: Flores coach. Can I make an argument here for Don 2266 01:44:43,400 --> 01:44:47,360 Speaker 1: Corriel coach I'm telling you coach Saint Louis Cardinals in 2267 01:44:47,400 --> 01:44:50,879 Speaker 1: the seventies, some good Cardinals teams there, San Diego Chargers 2268 01:44:51,000 --> 01:44:53,840 Speaker 1: in the late seventies, early eighties. Beyond that, I look 2269 01:44:53,880 --> 01:44:57,200 Speaker 1: at Don Corriel as an innovator, as that almost uh 2270 01:44:58,080 --> 01:45:00,280 Speaker 1: a savant, you know, moving offense for ward in the 2271 01:45:00,360 --> 01:45:02,560 Speaker 1: late seventies and then through the mid eighties with some 2272 01:45:02,760 --> 01:45:06,360 Speaker 1: tremendous advancements in the passing game. I would vote eagerly 2273 01:45:06,720 --> 01:45:08,880 Speaker 1: and strongly for Don Kreel, he'd be in my five. 2274 01:45:08,920 --> 01:45:11,920 Speaker 1: I would as well, because he put that he put 2275 01:45:12,280 --> 01:45:16,439 Speaker 1: throwing the football first first, you know, yeah, he did 2276 01:45:16,520 --> 01:45:19,559 Speaker 1: it first and and was successful doing another. Certainly were 2277 01:45:19,600 --> 01:45:22,080 Speaker 1: some other quarterbacks who were famous, like Joe Namath and 2278 01:45:22,120 --> 01:45:24,839 Speaker 1: Johnny Ninis, which preceded those eighties teams with Dan Fouts. 2279 01:45:25,360 --> 01:45:27,360 Speaker 1: But Dan Fouts is in the Hall of Fame. His 2280 01:45:27,479 --> 01:45:30,560 Speaker 1: head coach for all those years and helped him to 2281 01:45:30,600 --> 01:45:34,599 Speaker 1: innovate with all those players and personnel things was Don Corrieal. 2282 01:45:34,680 --> 01:45:36,720 Speaker 1: So I would be with you as well. So they 2283 01:45:36,800 --> 01:45:40,280 Speaker 1: meet on Saturday in Atlanta. Here in Atlanta, no set 2284 01:45:40,400 --> 01:45:44,040 Speaker 1: number for any class of Enshrinese. The selection process by 2285 01:45:44,120 --> 01:45:46,040 Speaker 1: laws say it's got to be between four and eight, 2286 01:45:46,400 --> 01:45:48,080 Speaker 1: so it doesn't have to be five. Between four and 2287 01:45:48,160 --> 01:45:52,559 Speaker 1: eight they'll be. They'll trim the list of finalists during 2288 01:45:52,560 --> 01:45:54,560 Speaker 1: the meeting. They get at fifteen. Now they'll go to 2289 01:45:54,680 --> 01:45:57,439 Speaker 1: ten and then to five, and the remaining five finalists 2290 01:45:57,479 --> 01:46:02,240 Speaker 1: are voting individually. Yes or no is the vote. Finally, 2291 01:46:02,439 --> 01:46:04,439 Speaker 1: and you've got to get the same eighty percent positive 2292 01:46:04,520 --> 01:46:07,839 Speaker 1: votes as a Senior Committee candidate and a contributor candidate 2293 01:46:07,880 --> 01:46:09,519 Speaker 1: to earn election to the pro Football Hall of Fame 2294 01:46:09,880 --> 01:46:13,320 Speaker 1: Seniors contributors this year Pat Bowland, longtime owner of the 2295 01:46:13,360 --> 01:46:16,320 Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. Gil Brandt, vice president of player personnel for 2296 01:46:16,400 --> 01:46:19,360 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. The senior finalist is Johnny Robinson, the safety 2297 01:46:19,439 --> 01:46:22,559 Speaker 1: for the Dallas Texans Kansas City Chiefs, and the Class 2298 01:46:22,640 --> 01:46:24,719 Speaker 1: of twenty nineteen, to be revealed during the NFL Honor 2299 01:46:24,760 --> 01:46:28,439 Speaker 1: Show this Saturday at nine o'clock. I don't know if 2300 01:46:29,080 --> 01:46:31,160 Speaker 1: I like Tony was selling. We just met him, you've 2301 01:46:31,200 --> 01:46:33,120 Speaker 1: known him for a while. Yeah, I think it'd be 2302 01:46:33,160 --> 01:46:34,640 Speaker 1: an uphill push for him to get in the Hall 2303 01:46:34,640 --> 01:46:36,719 Speaker 1: of Fame right this year. It always is for these guys, 2304 01:46:37,080 --> 01:46:39,800 Speaker 1: especially now. He did say one thing, and it's true. 2305 01:46:40,040 --> 01:46:42,360 Speaker 1: He is a left tackle. It's a premier position, and 2306 01:46:42,479 --> 01:46:44,519 Speaker 1: he dominated for the seven or eight years he played. 2307 01:46:45,000 --> 01:46:51,080 Speaker 1: And they the Hall of Fame tends to put I mean, 2308 01:46:51,160 --> 01:46:53,400 Speaker 1: they've put five guards in in the last ten year. 2309 01:46:53,439 --> 01:46:57,200 Speaker 1: You know, they put guards in a lot lately because 2310 01:46:57,240 --> 01:46:59,760 Speaker 1: I think they felt like tackles get the recognition, they 2311 01:46:59,800 --> 01:47:03,479 Speaker 1: just and get it by themselves. I think the Hall 2312 01:47:03,520 --> 01:47:06,439 Speaker 1: of Fame committee sometimes they went on a run where 2313 01:47:06,479 --> 01:47:10,320 Speaker 1: they put guard after guard after guard in. So maybe 2314 01:47:10,600 --> 01:47:12,519 Speaker 1: maybe the pendulum swings away from that. I don't know. 2315 01:47:12,880 --> 01:47:16,479 Speaker 1: It's hard to say because these guys, the voters, they 2316 01:47:16,600 --> 01:47:19,600 Speaker 1: take every player as an individual. I don't think they 2317 01:47:19,680 --> 01:47:22,160 Speaker 1: really stepped back and look at the big picture, like 2318 01:47:22,240 --> 01:47:24,280 Speaker 1: who holes getting in and what position it is, and 2319 01:47:24,880 --> 01:47:26,439 Speaker 1: but there is I mean, you get down to the 2320 01:47:26,560 --> 01:47:30,680 Speaker 1: list for a guy like Isaac Bruce. For a long time, 2321 01:47:30,720 --> 01:47:33,840 Speaker 1: there was a log jam at wide receiver. There was 2322 01:47:34,040 --> 01:47:36,320 Speaker 1: so many guys who were deserving that play that position 2323 01:47:36,479 --> 01:47:39,559 Speaker 1: that weren't in. And now you've got just one guy 2324 01:47:39,640 --> 01:47:42,599 Speaker 1: who's a finalist. And so because there was like Tim Brown, 2325 01:47:42,720 --> 01:47:46,120 Speaker 1: Andre Reid, Chris Carter, you go down these risks of 2326 01:47:46,160 --> 01:47:48,040 Speaker 1: Hall of Famers, guys who did get in, but it 2327 01:47:48,160 --> 01:47:50,120 Speaker 1: took them a while because there were so many wide 2328 01:47:50,160 --> 01:47:52,439 Speaker 1: receivers with such great numbers, there were just no room. 2329 01:47:52,560 --> 01:47:55,640 Speaker 1: Trying to remember who broke the logjam? Was it Carter? Right? 2330 01:47:55,720 --> 01:47:57,800 Speaker 1: Chris Carter? Chris Carter was a guy who he was. 2331 01:47:58,320 --> 01:48:01,519 Speaker 1: He was such a great player and his numbers, his 2332 01:48:01,720 --> 01:48:04,800 Speaker 1: career numbers were fan top two or three in the 2333 01:48:04,960 --> 01:48:07,040 Speaker 1: entire history of the game. And it took him a 2334 01:48:07,080 --> 01:48:09,439 Speaker 1: year or two to get in. Yeah, and that's a shame. 2335 01:48:09,640 --> 01:48:12,360 Speaker 1: But he's in now, so he's good. Why don't if 2336 01:48:12,360 --> 01:48:13,920 Speaker 1: you have thoughts on all of fame, we'll take him. 2337 01:48:13,960 --> 01:48:15,880 Speaker 1: We'll hear from yeah eight o three oh five fifty 2338 01:48:16,040 --> 01:48:18,840 Speaker 1: or toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two 2339 01:48:18,880 --> 01:48:21,120 Speaker 1: five fifty where you can respond to our Twitter poll 2340 01:48:21,160 --> 01:48:24,080 Speaker 1: Steve's favorite Twitter poll of all time.

Fifty one percent of you say the rest 2344 01:48:31,840 --> 01:48:34,200 Speaker 1: of the field. Forty nine percent of you say Brady. 2345 01:48:34,439 --> 01:48:37,000 Speaker 1: Give us a call. Let's discuss eight three five fifty 2346 01:48:37,320 --> 01:48:40,040 Speaker 1: toll free one eight eight eight five wrong for me 2347 01:48:40,120 --> 01:48:45,479 Speaker 1: to take such glee and two percentage points wrong.

Yeah, that's 2350 01:48:50,439 --> 01:48:52,000 Speaker 1: what we want to hear, not just a rubber stamp. 2351 01:48:52,080 --> 01:48:54,679 Speaker 1: Let's hear some of that debate. I look, any I'm 2352 01:48:54,680 --> 01:48:56,720 Speaker 1: not a gambler. I'm not a better, but any better. 2353 01:48:56,960 --> 01:48:59,240 Speaker 1: Most betters will tell you in a horse race, if 2354 01:48:59,240 --> 01:49:01,920 Speaker 1: you've got ten horses, I'll give you one. I'll take 2355 01:49:01,960 --> 01:49:03,880 Speaker 1: the other. Night that's basically what you've done with his 2356 01:49:03,920 --> 01:49:05,600 Speaker 1: twitter point. That's fine, but I take the field. But 2357 01:49:05,640 --> 01:49:08,880 Speaker 1: I got secretariat, so good luck. Well, I don't know 2358 01:49:08,960 --> 01:49:13,680 Speaker 1: if you do. I got secretary in that horse race. 2359 01:49:14,920 --> 01:49:17,040 Speaker 1: I don't know if you have secretariat. But there are 2360 01:49:17,080 --> 01:49:19,400 Speaker 1: plenty of good players. And it's a one game thing 2361 01:49:20,120 --> 01:49:24,040 Speaker 1: talking to me about Murph. Here's the thing, and we've 2362 01:49:24,080 --> 01:49:27,320 Speaker 1: seen it time and time again. Rarely do these Super 2363 01:49:27,400 --> 01:49:30,120 Speaker 1: Bowls go the way everybody thinks they're gonna go. Something 2364 01:49:30,240 --> 01:49:32,519 Speaker 1: unpredictable is gonna happen. You know. You talk about the 2365 01:49:32,600 --> 01:49:35,880 Speaker 1: twenty eight to three game that the Falcons put out 2366 01:49:35,880 --> 01:49:37,439 Speaker 1: there in the first half and the and the Patriots 2367 01:49:37,520 --> 01:49:40,719 Speaker 1: come back and win that game last year, the Philly Special, 2368 01:49:41,080 --> 01:49:43,360 Speaker 1: the surprise play, and the fact that they just kept 2369 01:49:43,479 --> 01:49:45,880 Speaker 1: pouring it on the Patriots and they had forced them, 2370 01:49:46,120 --> 01:49:48,439 Speaker 1: They really forced the Patriots to play a little bit desperate, 2371 01:49:48,520 --> 01:49:50,479 Speaker 1: something you never see the Patriots do, and they won 2372 01:49:50,600 --> 01:49:55,360 Speaker 1: that game. Um game. Things like that happen in these games, 2373 01:49:55,400 --> 01:49:57,800 Speaker 1: these unpredictable things. How this game is gonna look And 2374 01:49:58,080 --> 01:49:59,720 Speaker 1: that's the fun thing to think about and try and 2375 01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:02,760 Speaker 1: outsmart yourself into getting there somehow, some way Before the 2376 01:50:02,840 --> 01:50:04,880 Speaker 1: game happens the second phone call. Here Bill on the 2377 01:50:04,960 --> 01:50:08,479 Speaker 1: line from Toronto. Hello, Bill, go ahead, you're on the air. Hi, guys, 2378 01:50:08,520 --> 01:50:11,920 Speaker 1: how are you doing well? Listen, guys. I read an 2379 01:50:12,000 --> 01:50:13,960 Speaker 1: article this week. Sorry, I am in my car, so 2380 01:50:14,080 --> 01:50:17,919 Speaker 1: I can't recall who wrote it, Okay, CBS, But basically, 2381 01:50:18,400 --> 01:50:20,400 Speaker 1: I think the MVP for the Super Bowl of New 2382 01:50:20,479 --> 01:50:23,479 Speaker 1: England Wind should be their offensive line coach. I read 2383 01:50:23,520 --> 01:50:27,080 Speaker 1: that article. Yeah, it's a good article because you know 2384 01:50:27,160 --> 01:50:29,640 Speaker 1: what I read that he's been in the league like 2385 01:50:29,920 --> 01:50:32,799 Speaker 1: sixteen years. He quit for two years about fifteen or sixteen. 2386 01:50:32,840 --> 01:50:37,360 Speaker 1: That brought him back their third lowest in salary cap 2387 01:50:37,479 --> 01:50:40,280 Speaker 1: on their offensive line and they haven't allowed a sack 2388 01:50:40,360 --> 01:50:43,840 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Isn't he the MVP? And yeah, he's 2389 01:50:44,160 --> 01:50:46,439 Speaker 1: you're right. And Dantes Carnecio has been with the New 2390 01:50:46,479 --> 01:50:49,639 Speaker 1: England Patriots for he was there a special teams coach 2391 01:50:49,680 --> 01:50:53,360 Speaker 1: for a minute when I was playing against him. I'm 2392 01:50:53,400 --> 01:50:56,280 Speaker 1: acquainted with him well at a distant in a distant way. 2393 01:50:58,280 --> 01:50:59,880 Speaker 1: He has been in and around the New England locker 2394 01:51:00,040 --> 01:51:03,680 Speaker 1: room for a better part of three decades. And you're right, 2395 01:51:03,760 --> 01:51:06,599 Speaker 1: he is a complete asset to that organization. They did 2396 01:51:06,720 --> 01:51:09,360 Speaker 1: bring him back when they were in need of some help, 2397 01:51:09,640 --> 01:51:11,040 Speaker 1: and he's just got one of those. He's one of 2398 01:51:11,040 --> 01:51:14,280 Speaker 1: those guys who's up, you know, kind of a watch 2399 01:51:14,320 --> 01:51:18,439 Speaker 1: forget about XS and oos. He takes the guys he's 2400 01:51:18,479 --> 01:51:20,559 Speaker 1: got and gets the most out of him. So it's 2401 01:51:20,600 --> 01:51:23,680 Speaker 1: been fantastic. Now I'm not a New England fan. I'm 2402 01:51:23,680 --> 01:51:26,760 Speaker 1: not a Buffalo fan. I'm a Raiders fan unfortunately. But 2403 01:51:27,600 --> 01:51:29,439 Speaker 1: you know when you see when you see a guy 2404 01:51:29,680 --> 01:51:32,799 Speaker 1: like that and you watch that line and they're not holding, 2405 01:51:33,640 --> 01:51:36,000 Speaker 1: they're not doing anything illegal, And I might be the 2406 01:51:36,080 --> 01:51:37,880 Speaker 1: first one to say, hey, look at the hole there. 2407 01:51:38,439 --> 01:51:41,719 Speaker 1: I just think this guy must be superman to coach 2408 01:51:41,880 --> 01:51:45,200 Speaker 1: like that. I don't disagree with that, but let me 2409 01:51:45,280 --> 01:51:49,120 Speaker 1: say this. They're in pass protection I think is mostly 2410 01:51:49,200 --> 01:51:51,280 Speaker 1: done by the Patriots by Brady getting the ball out. 2411 01:51:51,560 --> 01:51:54,160 Speaker 1: The ball gets out, he's not sitting, he doesn't take hits, 2412 01:51:54,479 --> 01:51:56,120 Speaker 1: he won't sit back there, he won't do a deep 2413 01:51:56,160 --> 01:51:57,680 Speaker 1: drop and sit back there and wait for a deep 2414 01:51:57,760 --> 01:52:00,599 Speaker 1: developing play down field. So that helps us offensive line 2415 01:52:00,640 --> 01:52:03,320 Speaker 1: look good. In the run game. They've been outstanding the 2416 01:52:03,400 --> 01:52:06,439 Speaker 1: last six, seven, eight weeks and they get a lot 2417 01:52:06,479 --> 01:52:09,280 Speaker 1: of help from James Devlin the fullback there, and Gronkowski 2418 01:52:09,479 --> 01:52:11,840 Speaker 1: has been a tremendous blocker in the last month of 2419 01:52:11,920 --> 01:52:14,680 Speaker 1: the season, including the game against Buffalo towards the end 2420 01:52:14,680 --> 01:52:16,600 Speaker 1: of the year second the last game. So I'm not 2421 01:52:16,640 --> 01:52:19,480 Speaker 1: taking anything away from the offensive line or especially Dante Scarnekia. 2422 01:52:19,880 --> 01:52:22,000 Speaker 1: I know what that they're doing well, but I do 2423 01:52:22,120 --> 01:52:25,120 Speaker 1: think it's the overall design of their offense that helps 2424 01:52:25,160 --> 01:52:28,080 Speaker 1: that thing work. And look, Daman added. This group's bean 2425 01:52:28,080 --> 01:52:30,960 Speaker 1: added for years. You know, they hit it on all 2426 01:52:31,040 --> 01:52:34,519 Speaker 1: cylinders to help everybody who needs help, both their offensive line, 2427 01:52:34,800 --> 01:52:38,040 Speaker 1: Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, everybody who can help them win, 2428 01:52:38,200 --> 01:52:41,240 Speaker 1: they call on them. And that calls that scheme a 2429 01:52:41,439 --> 01:52:46,960 Speaker 1: schematically personnel wise, shift wise, formation wise, personnel groupings, you 2430 01:52:47,120 --> 01:52:51,200 Speaker 1: name it. They maximize their people and that includes their 2431 01:52:51,240 --> 01:52:54,400 Speaker 1: offensive line. Do you see anything that they do on 2432 01:52:54,479 --> 01:52:57,600 Speaker 1: their offensive line that is unique to them that you 2433 01:52:57,760 --> 01:53:01,040 Speaker 1: don't see with Buffalo or like, I mean, the Raiders 2434 01:53:01,080 --> 01:53:05,200 Speaker 1: have got one of the highest salary cap for offensive line. 2435 01:53:05,240 --> 01:53:08,719 Speaker 1: They couldn't cover their mothers. I mean, I don't see anything. 2436 01:53:08,760 --> 01:53:11,880 Speaker 1: I'm not really qualified. Yeah, listen, I know this, Murph's 2437 01:53:11,960 --> 01:53:13,439 Speaker 1: hit it on the head What I do see is 2438 01:53:13,560 --> 01:53:16,200 Speaker 1: Tom gets the ball out. He doesn't take hits, and 2439 01:53:16,520 --> 01:53:20,040 Speaker 1: they understand he almost as though on every given play, 2440 01:53:20,200 --> 01:53:22,040 Speaker 1: no matter what the protection is or what the play is, 2441 01:53:22,080 --> 01:53:25,040 Speaker 1: he knows how long he has to get the football out. 2442 01:53:25,360 --> 01:53:27,559 Speaker 1: Whether it's a lot of time or a little time, 2443 01:53:27,960 --> 01:53:30,439 Speaker 1: he always knows where he's gonna throw the football. That's 2444 01:53:30,520 --> 01:53:34,679 Speaker 1: the biggest weapon they have in past protection and great 2445 01:53:34,760 --> 01:53:37,679 Speaker 1: Thanks for yeah you bet, Thanks philm Hey. A couple 2446 01:53:37,720 --> 01:53:40,240 Speaker 1: of tweets Stevens. We talk about who would be the 2447 01:53:40,280 --> 01:53:45,720 Speaker 1: Patriots MVP. Gobanas tweets this in we are sick of 2448 01:53:45,800 --> 01:53:48,200 Speaker 1: your daily telling us how great the Patriots and Brady are. 2449 01:53:48,240 --> 01:53:51,479 Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. We want to hear about our remaining build 2450 01:53:51,520 --> 01:53:54,639 Speaker 1: of our team, impact of new coaches, hired, free agency 2451 01:53:54,680 --> 01:53:59,680 Speaker 1: and draft. That's from Gobanas. What did he call in? 2452 01:54:00,000 --> 01:54:01,479 Speaker 1: Why didn't you call in? Why to listen to the 2453 01:54:01,520 --> 01:54:03,360 Speaker 1: rest of the year, We're talking about the Bills every day. 2454 01:54:04,000 --> 01:54:06,320 Speaker 1: Fifty two weeks or so a year, we're talking about 2455 01:54:06,320 --> 01:54:10,519 Speaker 1: the Bills. Bills aren't playing this week. Yeah, there's nothing 2456 01:54:10,560 --> 01:54:12,360 Speaker 1: going on on one Bill's drive this week.

Michael Barnonaro tweets this 2460 01:54:21,800 --> 01:54:27,200 Speaker 1: in I despise the Patriots, but but there are AFL brothers. 2461 01:54:27,320 --> 01:54:29,559 Speaker 1: Let us never forget. I was at War Memorial Stadium 2462 01:54:29,600 --> 01:54:32,120 Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty nine debate the day Bills fans stood 2463 01:54:32,400 --> 01:54:34,839 Speaker 1: and gave the New York Jets a standing ovation. Michael, 2464 01:54:35,120 --> 01:54:37,440 Speaker 1: I hear you. I appreciate it, but I don't feel 2465 01:54:37,480 --> 01:54:41,680 Speaker 1: that AFL bond with the Patriots. Then, Joe Namathan, the 2466 01:54:41,760 --> 01:54:44,600 Speaker 1: Jets won Super Bowl three, I was eleven or ten 2467 01:54:44,720 --> 01:54:47,080 Speaker 1: years old. Uh yeah, I felt it then. I was 2468 01:54:47,120 --> 01:54:49,480 Speaker 1: rooting hard for the Jets, and and I believe I 2469 01:54:49,560 --> 01:54:51,720 Speaker 1: wasn't there when the Jets came to Buffalo the following year, 2470 01:54:51,800 --> 01:54:54,240 Speaker 1: but I felt that way, like, yeah, Jets, you did it. 2471 01:54:54,320 --> 01:54:56,600 Speaker 1: The AFL is the equal, if not better than the NFL. 2472 01:54:57,000 --> 01:54:59,000 Speaker 1: That's gone. I don't root for the Jets at the Hall, 2473 01:54:59,280 --> 01:55:01,720 Speaker 1: and I certainly don't root for that. I don't feel 2474 01:55:01,720 --> 01:55:05,840 Speaker 1: any AFL affinity with the formerly busted Patriot. You don't 2475 01:55:05,840 --> 01:55:08,760 Speaker 1: even feel any AFC East affinity. No, for those guys. 2476 01:55:09,360 --> 01:55:12,160 Speaker 1: Their success has nothing to rub off on the Buffalo. 2477 01:55:12,240 --> 01:55:14,480 Speaker 1: And by the way, that that standing ovation for the 2478 01:55:14,560 --> 01:55:17,080 Speaker 1: Nitch has nothing to do with the Jets or the Patriots. 2479 01:55:17,120 --> 01:55:19,760 Speaker 1: It's that's Bills fans for you right there. That's that's 2480 01:55:19,840 --> 01:55:23,040 Speaker 1: kind of an Andy Dalton seventeen dollar contribution. Yeah, that 2481 01:55:23,160 --> 01:55:26,280 Speaker 1: was big. I mean it was big. Oh yeah, very big. 2482 01:55:26,360 --> 01:55:30,960 Speaker 1: That was a historical three yeah, its historical, uh, watershed 2483 01:55:31,280 --> 01:55:35,840 Speaker 1: moment in pro football history. But those days are long, long, long, gun. 2484 01:55:35,960 --> 01:55:39,000 Speaker 1: That is fifty years ago, fifty years ago.

You talked 2560 01:59:02,480 --> 01:59:04,520 Speaker 1: to Tracy Wilson the other day, and you also talk 2561 01:59:04,560 --> 01:59:07,040 Speaker 1: to the guy who's the executive producer of the Super 2562 01:59:07,080 --> 01:59:09,720 Speaker 1: Bowl fifty three broadcasts, right, Jim Rickoff, who is a 2563 01:59:09,760 --> 01:59:11,240 Speaker 1: good friend of mine. I worked with him in my 2564 01:59:11,320 --> 01:59:13,520 Speaker 1: days as an analyst in the booth, and he was 2565 01:59:13,600 --> 01:59:16,480 Speaker 1: my producer for a long time. Moved over and was 2566 01:59:16,600 --> 01:59:22,120 Speaker 1: the replay producer kind of broadcast assistant for Lance Barrow 2567 01:59:22,160 --> 01:59:24,360 Speaker 1: when he was the executive producer. Now Lance Barrow does 2568 01:59:24,720 --> 01:59:28,680 Speaker 1: strictly PGA golf, and now Jim Rickoff is the lead 2569 01:59:28,760 --> 01:59:31,600 Speaker 1: producer for CB for the NFL on CBS. He does 2570 01:59:32,200 --> 01:59:35,240 Speaker 1: Tony Romo and Jim Nance every week. They're always the 2571 01:59:35,360 --> 01:59:37,840 Speaker 1: top game. And it was interesting too. I had a 2572 01:59:37,920 --> 01:59:39,840 Speaker 1: chance to speak with him earlier in the week about 2573 01:59:40,200 --> 01:59:42,240 Speaker 1: what it means not only to do this Super Bowl, 2574 01:59:42,720 --> 01:59:46,600 Speaker 1: but also how he has to handle Tony Romo and 2575 01:59:46,680 --> 01:59:48,640 Speaker 1: how that's gone this early in Tony Romo's career. And 2576 01:59:48,640 --> 01:59:50,200 Speaker 1: here's what Jim Rickoff had to say about some of 2577 01:59:50,280 --> 01:59:53,320 Speaker 1: those issues. It's not like this happened overnight. You've been 2578 01:59:53,400 --> 01:59:56,720 Speaker 1: with CBS for a long long time. Page Juicy. It's 2579 01:59:56,720 --> 01:59:58,640 Speaker 1: a it's a chair. It's one of the true industries 2580 01:59:58,640 --> 02:00:00,680 Speaker 1: where you really were an apprentice. You've moved up through 2581 02:00:00,720 --> 02:00:03,360 Speaker 1: the truck. Every seat in the truck you occupied at 2582 02:00:03,400 --> 02:00:06,080 Speaker 1: one time or another. Now you're in the producer's chair. 2583 02:00:06,360 --> 02:00:08,560 Speaker 1: What's that feel like on a day like today? Well, Steve, 2584 02:00:08,600 --> 02:00:10,800 Speaker 1: it's great. And as you know, you got you and 2585 02:00:10,880 --> 02:00:13,960 Speaker 1: I had two tours of duty together, very like two 2586 02:00:14,040 --> 02:00:16,040 Speaker 1: or three after you started, and we were all young, 2587 02:00:16,120 --> 02:00:17,680 Speaker 1: and I think we did three or four years and 2588 02:00:17,760 --> 02:00:19,880 Speaker 1: we went different ways and came back into two or 2589 02:00:19,920 --> 02:00:22,080 Speaker 1: three more years together. Yeah. I mean, that's part of 2590 02:00:22,120 --> 02:00:24,680 Speaker 1: the great thing and one of the great advantages of 2591 02:00:24,800 --> 02:00:26,560 Speaker 1: being the position now is to be doing all those 2592 02:00:26,600 --> 02:00:28,840 Speaker 1: different jobs like you were the graphics guy, you were 2593 02:00:28,880 --> 02:00:31,560 Speaker 1: the a d H. You know, you've pretty much done 2594 02:00:31,600 --> 02:00:34,240 Speaker 1: every job, so you know what's going on, and I've 2595 02:00:34,320 --> 02:00:37,440 Speaker 1: done I've been doing it since ninety eight, I've been 2596 02:00:37,520 --> 02:00:39,120 Speaker 1: producing it. Before that, I was you know, I did 2597 02:00:39,200 --> 02:00:41,200 Speaker 1: other jobs. So yeah, it is, you know, if it 2598 02:00:41,360 --> 02:00:43,880 Speaker 1: makes you feel comfortable, like Sunday is another game, like 2599 02:00:44,000 --> 02:00:46,080 Speaker 1: really is. You know, once you kick it off, just 2600 02:00:46,200 --> 02:00:48,440 Speaker 1: as a player, it's a football game. You got to 2601 02:00:48,520 --> 02:00:50,040 Speaker 1: kind of adjust all the hoop law and all the 2602 02:00:50,040 --> 02:00:51,880 Speaker 1: stuff going on during the week, and you kind of 2603 02:00:51,920 --> 02:00:54,680 Speaker 1: compartmentalize that, but you get you get you just focused 2604 02:00:54,720 --> 02:00:56,160 Speaker 1: on doing the game is the most important thing. It's 2605 02:00:56,160 --> 02:00:58,560 Speaker 1: the thing I noticed, even though you're sitting at chair 2606 02:00:58,560 --> 02:01:01,160 Speaker 1: and everybody scattered around, you still a voice to every 2607 02:01:01,320 --> 02:01:03,360 Speaker 1: You talk to everybody all the time. That's why we 2608 02:01:03,440 --> 02:01:05,880 Speaker 1: all wear headsets. That's why everybody can hear you. What's 2609 02:01:05,880 --> 02:01:08,760 Speaker 1: your philosophy about what to say, when to say it? 2610 02:01:09,120 --> 02:01:10,480 Speaker 1: Handle the vibe and then you know what I mean, 2611 02:01:10,480 --> 02:01:12,840 Speaker 1: because everybody takes their lead off you. You're you're the 2612 02:01:12,960 --> 02:01:14,320 Speaker 1: leader of the pack. You're kind of the run of 2613 02:01:14,360 --> 02:01:16,720 Speaker 1: the ship, and you do set the tone, you know, 2614 02:01:16,760 --> 02:01:18,520 Speaker 1: and every group's different, like every crew I work with, 2615 02:01:18,560 --> 02:01:22,200 Speaker 1: every announcers are different. Tony's you know, it's been a 2616 02:01:22,240 --> 02:01:25,360 Speaker 1: whole new ball game. Um, but it's been great. It's 2617 02:01:25,400 --> 02:01:28,320 Speaker 1: been fun basically with him. I kind of he's so 2618 02:01:28,880 --> 02:01:30,840 Speaker 1: I kind of want to keep him unfiltered. There's other 2619 02:01:30,880 --> 02:01:32,920 Speaker 1: guys when you start out you really want to stay 2620 02:01:32,960 --> 02:01:34,440 Speaker 1: on top of them and push him to do certain 2621 02:01:34,440 --> 02:01:37,240 Speaker 1: things or break him with certain habits. Tony is almost 2622 02:01:37,280 --> 02:01:40,320 Speaker 1: like I kind of like him, Like it's just being unfiltered. 2623 02:01:40,360 --> 02:01:43,280 Speaker 1: I'd really try to underproduce, which I think from experience 2624 02:01:43,320 --> 02:01:45,600 Speaker 1: you learn that where you're younger, you might want to 2625 02:01:45,640 --> 02:01:47,440 Speaker 1: try to get in there. And uh, he's such a 2626 02:01:47,560 --> 02:01:51,320 Speaker 1: natural and we work on mechanics and the things that 2627 02:01:51,400 --> 02:01:53,640 Speaker 1: other people focus on we don't focus on. But from 2628 02:01:53,680 --> 02:01:55,240 Speaker 1: where he was in the beginning last year, this year, 2629 02:01:55,560 --> 02:01:58,440 Speaker 1: he's still learning aboud. He's made unbelievable strides, stuff that 2630 02:01:58,480 --> 02:02:00,840 Speaker 1: people wouldn't really notice on the you know, viewers might 2631 02:02:00,880 --> 02:02:04,000 Speaker 1: not notice, but just understanding how to broadcast a football game. 2632 02:02:04,000 --> 02:02:05,720 Speaker 1: He's got a great partner in Jim. Nance it's been 2633 02:02:06,120 --> 02:02:07,840 Speaker 1: he's been excited to see how he's grown in a 2634 02:02:07,920 --> 02:02:09,160 Speaker 1: year and a half. And that's what I wanted to 2635 02:02:09,240 --> 02:02:11,240 Speaker 1: ask you about Jim as well. Because because you talk 2636 02:02:11,240 --> 02:02:13,400 Speaker 1: about the guy who has to really direct the traffic, 2637 02:02:13,520 --> 02:02:17,520 Speaker 1: Jim's really had to adjust to a different type of broadcast. 2638 02:02:17,560 --> 02:02:19,400 Speaker 1: But he will go from Phil with all those years 2639 02:02:19,440 --> 02:02:23,320 Speaker 1: with Phil Simms. Tony's completely different and Jim, like you 2640 02:02:23,440 --> 02:02:27,080 Speaker 1: kind of might expect him seamless. I mean, it looks 2641 02:02:27,120 --> 02:02:29,840 Speaker 1: like he's handled it extremely well. I think he gets 2642 02:02:29,840 --> 02:02:32,000 Speaker 1: a little not enough credit for being able to do that. 2643 02:02:32,160 --> 02:02:35,240 Speaker 1: I agree with you, Tevas. He's the consummate professional and 2644 02:02:35,360 --> 02:02:38,320 Speaker 1: he did it. It took a lot of unselfishness from 2645 02:02:38,360 --> 02:02:40,240 Speaker 1: his part. And it's funny like last year, you know, 2646 02:02:40,360 --> 02:02:43,040 Speaker 1: other people's like you know, Tony does this. Jim never 2647 02:02:43,160 --> 02:02:45,640 Speaker 1: flat and Jim, Jim knows he's got a great partner 2648 02:02:45,920 --> 02:02:48,840 Speaker 1: and together they have such a great friendship that comes 2649 02:02:48,840 --> 02:02:51,000 Speaker 1: across in the air. And it is Tony just for me, 2650 02:02:51,120 --> 02:02:53,360 Speaker 1: like I had to evolve. Tony's not doesn't do a 2651 02:02:53,400 --> 02:02:55,360 Speaker 1: game like everybody else has done a game. That's not 2652 02:02:55,440 --> 02:02:57,920 Speaker 1: a bad thing, by the way. So I think Jim 2653 02:02:57,960 --> 02:02:59,720 Speaker 1: and I both realized that, and I think, you know, 2654 02:02:59,800 --> 02:03:02,680 Speaker 1: we kind of we had to evolve. And because he's 2655 02:03:02,680 --> 02:03:04,880 Speaker 1: such a pro, he did it seamlessly, like you said, 2656 02:03:05,280 --> 02:03:07,520 Speaker 1: and any would never notice it, but it's so many times, 2657 02:03:07,600 --> 02:03:10,720 Speaker 1: especially last year, as Tony was learning, Jim was you 2658 02:03:10,760 --> 02:03:12,280 Speaker 1: cannot have a better guy next to you who could 2659 02:03:12,320 --> 02:03:14,320 Speaker 1: bail you out, kind of work you through some of 2660 02:03:14,360 --> 02:03:17,520 Speaker 1: the rough spots, teach a little things, and Tony a 2661 02:03:17,560 --> 02:03:19,240 Speaker 1: Lotri's a Tony as the whereries today. It's because of 2662 02:03:19,240 --> 02:03:21,000 Speaker 1: the Jim nance. Talk to me a little bit about 2663 02:03:21,280 --> 02:03:24,000 Speaker 1: everybody's making a big deal and rightfully so, about Tony's 2664 02:03:24,040 --> 02:03:28,360 Speaker 1: ability to call the play. It's been a big point 2665 02:03:28,360 --> 02:03:31,280 Speaker 1: of emphasis, a point pointed topic of conversation. What's your 2666 02:03:31,320 --> 02:03:33,600 Speaker 1: take on that? And did you see signs of that 2667 02:03:33,800 --> 02:03:36,720 Speaker 1: early in the early in his career. I've never heard 2668 02:03:36,720 --> 02:03:40,200 Speaker 1: about this prediction thing. What are you talking about? I 2669 02:03:40,360 --> 02:03:43,920 Speaker 1: heard about it. It's a fun little thing he did 2670 02:03:44,320 --> 02:03:46,840 Speaker 1: in the beginning of last year. The week one people 2671 02:03:46,920 --> 02:03:49,320 Speaker 1: cut onto it. Then it kind of fade away, and honestly, 2672 02:03:49,360 --> 02:03:51,800 Speaker 1: every game kind of happens organically. We never have a plan. 2673 02:03:52,320 --> 02:03:54,320 Speaker 1: There's some games he never does it. There's some things 2674 02:03:54,320 --> 02:03:56,800 Speaker 1: like on that drive two weeks ago the AC champions 2675 02:03:56,920 --> 02:03:59,400 Speaker 1: he did it four times. To me, the key to 2676 02:03:59,520 --> 02:04:03,960 Speaker 1: Tony Romo as he's authentic, He's passionate. He breaks the 2677 02:04:04,040 --> 02:04:06,760 Speaker 1: game down better than pretty much anyone I've ever seen, 2678 02:04:07,280 --> 02:04:10,000 Speaker 1: so to me, it's the that's what I we hang 2679 02:04:10,040 --> 02:04:12,040 Speaker 1: our hat on. The other stuff's fun and if it 2680 02:04:12,160 --> 02:04:15,400 Speaker 1: happens naturally, great, but it's not something we think about 2681 02:04:15,640 --> 02:04:19,200 Speaker 1: or have a plan for. And if it happens a 2682 02:04:19,320 --> 02:04:21,400 Speaker 1: Sunday once or twice, I'll be happy. And if it doesn't, 2683 02:04:21,840 --> 02:04:24,120 Speaker 1: Like I said, every game is different kind of kind 2684 02:04:24,160 --> 02:04:26,480 Speaker 1: of the game. We don't go in there and try 2685 02:04:26,480 --> 02:04:27,840 Speaker 1: to do the game that I want to produce or 2686 02:04:27,920 --> 02:04:29,520 Speaker 1: he wants to do. We do the game that happens 2687 02:04:29,520 --> 02:04:31,680 Speaker 1: on the field. Jim, thanks for doing. It's great to 2688 02:04:31,680 --> 02:04:36,080 Speaker 1: see of the NFL on CBS. He's got the executive 2689 02:04:36,080 --> 02:04:38,440 Speaker 1: reducer who duties for the Super Bowl game super Bowl 2690 02:04:38,440 --> 02:04:40,800 Speaker 1: fifty three. Great conversation with Steve, a lot of Tony 2691 02:04:40,920 --> 02:04:42,720 Speaker 1: Romo talk, a couple of things. I saw a stat 2692 02:04:42,760 --> 02:04:45,280 Speaker 1: today somebody went back and looked at the AFC Championship game, 2693 02:04:45,560 --> 02:04:47,680 Speaker 1: the predictions that he's famous for. He was right sixty 2694 02:04:47,680 --> 02:04:49,440 Speaker 1: eight percent of the time, seven out of ten times. 2695 02:04:49,520 --> 02:04:52,120 Speaker 1: Pretty good. Yeah, pretty good. And it's pretty fun to watch. Ye. 2696 02:04:52,440 --> 02:04:54,680 Speaker 1: It adds a little something, particularly particularly I think for 2697 02:04:54,880 --> 02:04:57,640 Speaker 1: casual fans because it does give them an insight as 2698 02:04:57,680 --> 02:05:03,040 Speaker 1: to how McCann nicole and how it works in free time, 2699 02:05:03,080 --> 02:05:07,120 Speaker 1: in in real time. Yeah, how guys, it's happened so 2700 02:05:07,280 --> 02:05:09,760 Speaker 1: fast that it's impossible to prepare. It's impossible to call 2701 02:05:09,840 --> 02:05:11,640 Speaker 1: to play for the perfect defense because you don't know 2702 02:05:11,760 --> 02:05:15,480 Speaker 1: it until the ball is virtually almost snapped. But Tony 2703 02:05:15,560 --> 02:05:17,440 Speaker 1: being in a position of the booth, he can make 2704 02:05:17,480 --> 02:05:19,720 Speaker 1: a quick call and and he was right. Jim nance 2705 02:05:19,760 --> 02:05:23,760 Speaker 1: has been unbelievably unselfish in being quiet as a play 2706 02:05:23,800 --> 02:05:27,000 Speaker 1: by play guy and letting Tony insert that just before 2707 02:05:27,080 --> 02:05:29,440 Speaker 1: the snap and then picking it up. That's hard to do. Yeah, 2708 02:05:29,680 --> 02:05:32,560 Speaker 1: what are saying, guys need to be quiet? No, but 2709 02:05:32,640 --> 02:05:37,160 Speaker 1: I'll tell you no. But you understand it's amazing, how shine. 2710 02:05:37,160 --> 02:05:40,160 Speaker 1: I always think, let yeah, if if it makes a 2711 02:05:40,240 --> 02:05:42,760 Speaker 1: better broadcast, if that's what people want, you gotta be 2712 02:05:42,840 --> 02:05:45,880 Speaker 1: willing to be quiet. And and it's when I was 2713 02:05:45,920 --> 02:05:49,520 Speaker 1: working with Gus Johnson. You know you gotta let Gus 2714 02:05:49,600 --> 02:05:51,600 Speaker 1: go because you know, gotta let him go. And I'll 2715 02:05:51,640 --> 02:05:53,760 Speaker 1: just be quiet as long as I can.
