Let's get straight 5 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: to some highlights with the Interceptor World Tour T shirt 6 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:37,159 Speaker 1: wearing Kyle. What happened? Nagi Harris says goodnight. The Roethlisberger 7 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: family there in the suits. They go nuts. He does 8 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 1: a victory lap. Now he has another game, actually a 9 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 1: really important game against Baltimore next week. But this is 10 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: his last home game. He never lost to the Browns 11 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 1: at home in the regular season, absolutely perfect, so many memories. 12 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: We'll get into it a little bit. Roethlisberger a thick, 13 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: long legacy in a lot of different ways. Twenty six 14 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: to fourteen. That was his last home game, most likely. 15 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: Let's go to Ben, just have him reflect what that might, 16 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: what that huge win might mean for him for the 17 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: rest of his life when he looks back on it. 18 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: This is home, you know, um it just I know 19 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 1: I was born in Ohio, but I live here and 20 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: I'll always be here and use these fans in this place. 21 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: It just means so much to me and my family 22 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: and always will. And I've always said that they're the 23 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: best fans in all the sports, and I'll stick by 24 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: that to the day I die. And to see all 25 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: the signs and the jerseys and the towels, and to 26 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,839 Speaker 1: hear them cheer for me coming out of the tunnel, 27 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: all that stuff, it just um, I don't know that 28 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: I'll ever put into words, and that's why I want 29 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: to soak. I wish I could bottle it and have 30 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: it forever, but I will and hear it, and in 31 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: my mind nostalgic. There's emotion on the field. Ben Roth 32 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: was workerd say, look at the playoff fixture, because here's 33 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,559 Speaker 1: the thing. Being seventeen is over, there's an extra game. 34 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: They're still alive. They're in the nine seed, and all 35 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: they need to happen in the final leak of the 36 00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: regular season. They have to beat the Ravens. That can happen, 37 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: and they need Trevor Lawrence and the Jags and Dario 38 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: to upset the Colds. If those two things happen, they 39 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: are in. Steelers fans got their money's worth. Lost night 40 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: Big Ben's in ninety second win at hines Field. He said, 41 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: we're leaving with a win, behind only Brady by the 42 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: Way and John Elway for most wins by a quarterback 43 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 1: at a single stadium. Special night all Around Hall of 44 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: Famer Chris Carter, Ben Roethlisberger will join you there with 45 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: a gold jacket in due time. What was your warrior 46 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: thoughts watching Ben Roethlisberger last time? It was an amazing 47 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 1: story because typically we come into this league. We all 48 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: want to play. We have dreams of playing in the 49 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: league as kids, but you can't control where you're gonna go. 50 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: And it's so much about the draft and being in 51 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: the right system with the right unit. But he's drafted 52 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: by the Pittsburgh Steelers, who have a head coach in 53 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: Bill Kauer. They're playing amazing defense, the physical, They're gonna 54 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 1: run the football down your throat every week. They have 55 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: the support of the franchise, a great fan base, one 56 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: the best in the world. And then they go to 57 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 1: Mike Tumblin. They got Jerome Bettis, they got leaders, they 58 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: got they got guys to build to take over for 59 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: Ben and to see him to be able to start 60 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,119 Speaker 1: and end it in Pittsburgh. After the way the draft fail. 61 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,399 Speaker 1: He is the best player in that draft, and all 62 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: those teams went over. People say, oh, Eli Manning, he 63 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 1: doesn't want to go to California, he goes to the 64 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: Giant Philip Rivers. We know about that story. But when 65 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: you look back on this draft, him and Larry Fitzgerald 66 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: know the Pittsburgh guy. Another guy got a relationship with 67 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: those the best two players in that draft. So if 68 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger perfect marriage between him, how they do things 69 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh, the fans in Pittsburgh and this organization is true. 70 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: I also think it's a cool moment to have as 71 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: a player. And you know this is while he's still playing. 72 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: He's getting You know, when John Madden passed away last week, 73 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: one of the things everyone said was it was cool 74 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: that they got to watch that documentary because he got 75 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: to smell the roses. He got to appreciate the love 76 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: in return for him. So many times we have players 77 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: come back for that ceremony or I'm just jotting it 78 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: down here on my list of the great quarter back 79 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: to the last thirty years, Aikman, Marino Eli, I'm including 80 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: an Elway played with one team more often than not, 81 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: you get a far whose last year was with the Vikings, 82 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: Drew Brees who had to start off in San Diego 83 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: and then go to New Orleans, Philip Rivers a year 84 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: with the Colts. Peyton Manning was a Bronco and yes 85 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: he won with the Super Bowl, but it wasn't with 86 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: the Colts at the end. And Tom Brady is now 87 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: a Buccaneer. Now. There's a million ways to do a career, 88 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 1: but how cool to play eighteen seasons at quarterback for 89 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: one team. It's rare air and to be able to 90 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 1: enjoy that moment while the season's still going on, and 91 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: knowing that I can appreciate this while it's here, and 92 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 1: have the fans be able to show him that and 93 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: him to show the fans back. I think it's really 94 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: rare and it was pretty cool to see last night. 95 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: I don't think the Steelers are necessarily going to the playoffs. 96 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: They're gonna need a lot of things to happen and 97 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 1: go their way. But Ben had that moment, and I 98 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: think as an active player, it's pretty neat deal it is, 99 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: and I just I can't believe he's still playing given 100 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: his style of play, like he just takes so much 101 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: punished more than any quarterback in the history of the game. Yeah, 102 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 1: is that were then Dave Craig, Yes, And how many 103 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 1: sacks did he like, shrink out of shakeout like countless? 104 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: He is just such a piece of meat and he 105 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: has been for years. It's not He's not the Brady 106 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 1: thing where it will sip up and he'll throw it away. 107 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: He just gets crushed and he's still playing. I think 108 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: I go back to the origin story. The game and 109 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 1: the league and the sport has changed so much since 110 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: he came in. Understand back in the day in two 111 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: thousand and four, like there would not be a quarterback 112 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: from the mac drafted number eleven over it. It was 113 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: like Miami, not Miami, Miami of Ohio. I remembers as 114 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: a fan thinking that was so strange. I never heard 115 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 1: of that. But Wallyzerbiak fill it. But not in the NFL, 116 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: you know, you know, Randy Moss was talking about this 117 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 1: last night as a marshal guy, like he felt a 118 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: kinship with Roethlisberger. The other thing, you didn't see quarterbacks 119 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 1: for six four, two forty. There was no Dante, there 120 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 1: was no cam like that had not started to happen yet. 121 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: He changed the whole deal. And you're sitting there. He 122 00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: was sitting next to Lee Steinberg and they were picked 123 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: that he fell and he was behind Eli and he 124 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: was behind Rivers. They thought he was gonna be drafted 125 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: before Rivers. And they're like, I don't know this big 126 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: dude from Miami of Ohio. The competition is not so great. 127 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: He's still here, he's still taking hits. He's still throwing 128 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: it thirty four times on one half on Monday Night football. 129 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 1: The whole league has changed since now my very Miami 130 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: of Ohio. Guys, sure that's a big program. We gonna 131 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 1: find it anywhere. Chris, when he goes into Canton, he 132 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: will be the biggest quarterback in the history in the 133 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 1: Pro Football Hall of the physically largest. Yes, no kidding, yes, 134 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 1: so big always works in the NFL first ballot, first ballot, absolutely, 135 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: I think that's a great question. I don't know if 136 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: it's absolutely. Well, how many how many Lombardi Trophy how 137 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: many Lombaro Tropes just Pittsburgh Hill they have seven. I 138 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: think he has two and played in three Super Bowls. Right, 139 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: That's why he keeps putting up this sign. He's letting 140 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 1: the people know, I got put two of those things. 141 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: I put him up there, and that typically is a 142 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 1: road that's going to lead the Bradshaw one four Rothelisberger 143 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 1: one two. What's the argument against how it's not a 144 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: matter of his resume, there's a matter of the voting process, 145 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: Chris carterson f stout Hall of Famer terroons should have 146 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: been the first bout half fam It doesn't usually work 147 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 1: out that way. That's temporary insanity of people know better, 148 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: they do better. I don't know, We'll see. I would 149 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: not be shocked if they made him wait a year. Yeah, 150 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: and we all know why. Facts. You know, Chris, that 151 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: that process gets weird. I have to give you that one. 152 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: But his overall work on the field, which that's what 153 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: it should have been, Dan being a teammate, which he 154 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: had not been a bad teammate, that's what it should 155 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: be about, and that should get him to kill. Does 156 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: it matter that they have not been to the super 157 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: Bowl in thirteen years? Yea, that the first five years 158 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: he was the first ballot Hall of Famer and then 159 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: and they lost that one the last one he was in. Yeah. Yeah, 160 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: And there's a thing called Brady in the AFC, the 161 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: thing called New England AFC. How many trips were actually 162 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: available now and in the Brady era he's got two 163 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: of them. Not a lot of people can say that 164 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: he's got two of them. Doesn't matter what you're saying that. 165 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: I think he gets in first ballot. And I think 166 00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: the way that he and Tomlin the last decade and 167 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: a half have been able to sustain winning records, that 168 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: stuff goes a long way. Uh did you say he's retiring, 169 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: by the way, not officially? Okay, because because you're outlining 170 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: this like last time, and I know that he's hinted 171 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: at it right and it's all but been said. But 172 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: is do we you know, like we've seen I don't 173 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: believe in retiring anymore. I think nobody in the first 174 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: half you have one hundred yards unless there's a hurricane 175 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: or something. I think Lee, you know, I think Grief 176 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: kind of was like I'm done and then he was like, oh, 177 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: I'll come back from I'm just saying, or play for 178 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: another team. Is that totally off the table? You think 179 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: I can't see him in another uniform. I don't know 180 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: if another team wants that version of Ben rob was 181 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: Rogers on the Manning cast. I didn't get to see it, 182 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: didn't Was it was afferential? Yes, because I imagine you're 183 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: mentioning this rare error list. It isn't. I see Brady 184 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: going and having success in winning a Super Bowl, So 185 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 1: I don't know if that takes away from the let 186 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: me play with my whole team. Aaron Rodgers is really 187 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,439 Speaker 1: good friends with Brett Faref who went on and we 188 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: didn't really have success. But do you think he watches 189 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: that and feel some kind of way. I think Russell 190 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,319 Speaker 1: Wilson watches that and feel some kind of It's the 191 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: first place I had went too. Quab or producer who 192 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 1: watched this and then went and watched a DVD he 193 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: after that. He was up at four in the morning 194 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,079 Speaker 1: for this show. But a huge diehard sewers fence. I 195 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: thought about him and shout out to you, Quab and 196 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: how this is going to affect their week eighteen and on? 197 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: But really, those other quarterback shrikes, how does it affect that? 198 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: It's a great point. Does Roger see that in that 199 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: final walk around the stadium and say, you know what, 200 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: why do I want to play for a Denver Bronco 201 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: or Carol and a Panther team, or does they see 202 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: it and say, why not t J. Let's go and 203 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: see that guy. Yeah, maybe he looks at the Lions, 204 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: Bears and Vikings on us. They right here pretty good, thoughts. 205 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 1: Let's bring in Tom Pallis there and get some updates 206 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: here Tom, the Titans, they are the number one. See 207 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 1: they're sitting pretty They worked their way through so much adversity. 208 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 1: Congrats to Rabel and that whold team. What is the 209 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: timetable for Derrick Henry's return because that would be a nightmare. Okay, 210 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: it may end up being a nightmare for the rest 211 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 1: of the AFC Coach Mike Vrabel confirmed on Monday that 212 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: their start running back Derrick Henry could be activated from 213 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: injured reserve or designated to return this week, opening up 214 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: his three weeks practice window. Henry has not played since 215 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: he suffered a Jones fracture in his foot back on 216 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,439 Speaker 1: October thirty. First, my understanding is there's a good chance 217 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: Henry will be back in practice this week. There's even 218 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: an outside chance that he could play this week against 219 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: the Texans, just to get him a few carries, knock 220 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 1: off some of the rush before they get into the 221 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 1: postseason force. Titans wide receiver A J. Brown is also back. 222 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 1: He looks like A J. Brown again. They activated Julio 223 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,479 Speaker 1: Jones off the COVID list on Monday. All that adversity 224 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: you mentioned, Kay, and yet here the Titans are one 225 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: win away this week from wrapping up that number one 226 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 1: seat and a first round playoff by in the AFC story. 227 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,079 Speaker 1: In Week seventeen, Joe Burrow and the Bengals not only 228 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: clinching the AFC North title with a win over the Chiefs, 229 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 1: but they also clinch a home playoff game in the 230 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: first round of the playoffs. The win secured the division 231 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 1: and the Bengals fans are alive. And now as we know, 232 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: there's any question on how this Bengals team was feeling, 233 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,839 Speaker 1: take a look at their quarterback, Joe Burrow at the 234 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: cigar in the locker room. Shoot them down, Joe, isn't 235 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,079 Speaker 1: it get That's it? That was the same dance in 236 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: LSU in the locker room when they won that time. 237 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow feeling himself here and I love they've had 238 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: some twins you are. Bengals currently hold the number three 239 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: seed in the AFC playoff picture with one week to 240 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 1: go in the regular season, they cannot do any worse 241 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 1: than the four seed when all is said and done. 242 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: The last time Cincinnati has actually won a playoff game 243 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 1: was this one, nineteen ninety AFC Wildcard round boomer as 244 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: Siason and the Bengals go in and they beat the Oilers. Wow. 245 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 1: Nineteen nineties. So think about how many years we're talking here. 246 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: Cody Carlson just getting eaten alive. There, nice soft turf, 247 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: very friendly to the players. Forty one to fourteen, the 248 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 1: Bengals blew out the Oilers and Cody Carlson the last 249 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 1: time so long. Meanwhile, in that time period, the New 250 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: England Patriots have won six Super Bowls and have been 251 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: to ten Super Bowls. Let's get to w in or 252 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 1: we out here. It's the game we play. I'm gonna 253 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 1: say a statement, and you guys tell me if you 254 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: agree or you disagree. Okay, Since that last Bengals playoff win, 255 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: I'll reiterate the Patriots have won six Super Bowls and 256 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: have played in ten. Zach Taylor has never coached a 257 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 1: playoff game. The statement is this, Zach Taylor's Bengals are 258 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: a scarier Wildcard round opponent in twenty twenty one than 259 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick's Patriots. Are we in or we out? Chris 260 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,079 Speaker 1: come This is not an easy one because I've made 261 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: a broadcast in Living going with the Patriots. Yea, even 262 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: regardless of what the stats say, you go with the Pats. Right, 263 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: the Pats had Tom then now with Matt Jones, they 264 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: still have the same type of defense. They're still trying 265 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: to run the ball. This is early Bill Belichick Tom Brady. 266 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: But the factor and I'm about Town and the Bengals, 267 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: they got it. Their worst unit is their offensive line. 268 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,839 Speaker 1: Joe Burrows has been hit the last couple of years 269 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 1: more than anyone in the league. But when you look 270 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: at teams that can rush the passer, there's not a 271 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: whole bunch in the AFC that's scared bunch. So I 272 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: do believe that their offensive line will build a match up, 273 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: and I believe that they'll build to bring pressure from 274 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: the Bengals on their opposition. I'm going with the talent. 275 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: The talent typically trumps out all these other scenarios. I'm 276 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: going with Joe Burrows, Zach Taylor, Chase and the rest 277 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 1: of the Cincinnati Yes. In twenty two, Yes, I'm in yes, 278 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 1: I'm all right. I'm in two, and I'll go further. 279 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 1: I wonder if you'll agree with me or not. I'm 280 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: in because they're just scarier weapons wise, and you'd say 281 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 1: the other wide receivers they matter. I think they have 282 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: the best wide receiving corps in the NFL. Would you 283 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 1: agree They've got two thousand yard receivers Te Higgins doing 284 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 1: perennial thousand yard receiver Tyler Boyd making huge crucial catches 285 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: when he needs to. Yes, And then you have the 286 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 1: star Tampa Bay did have it till the injuries. But 287 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 1: you're right, the Bengals right now are the best, the 288 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,839 Speaker 1: most dangerous. I think the Bengals a game is scarier. 289 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: I think you know the Patriots to your point, they're 290 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 1: on the volley of good events. They have to play 291 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: their game if you have. If you get into this 292 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 1: sort of situation like you did with the Chiefs, the 293 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 1: Bengals a game is scarier. I'm in. What do you think, Kyle? 294 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: Give me the Patriots? Yeah? Wow, I'm so scared of 295 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: Zach Taylor and some rookie wide receiver. Give me the Patriots. 296 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: What scares you about in New England? Belichick Belichick, McDaniels, 297 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: just they've been there the twenty years they've been Look, 298 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: we can throw a million Jamar Chase highlights if we 299 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: want to. I'll bring up some Marshall falk kiglots, I'll 300 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: bring up some Kurt Warner high lights, and we smack 301 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: them around on the biggest stage. Look, I love the Bengals. 302 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 1: This is I have to pick one on this. If 303 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: you got Frankly, if you guys would have said Patots, 304 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: I might have said Bengals. Um, I know this guy. 305 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: It's tough, you know when it's you know. The hardest 306 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: part about same Patriots is seeing those Bengals highlights. They're amazing. 307 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: I mean, one handed catch, they're amazing. Now, of course 308 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: they're amazing. I love the Bengals, but I will go 309 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 1: with this guy. I really believe in the been there, 310 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: maybe more than most people. And I also think, like, yes, 311 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 1: the Bengals are wildly talented. The pictures are very talented. 312 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: Team too. Who runs the all out of the ball? 313 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: Who will have the best game plan on Earth? And 314 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: I think I would rather I would rather face Zach 315 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: Taylor Zach Taylor than Bill Belichick. Yeah, does the been 316 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: there depend on who hasn't been there and what like 317 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow is a different bit hasn't been there than 318 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: other players, right, I don't know. I just feel like 319 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: he's more he's been on big games at least he's 320 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: I just feel like I trust his lack of experience 321 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 1: more than I trust most other quarterbacks that don't have that. 322 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 1: He's got so much. I trust him more than I 323 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: Truck trust Mac Jones. It's true, but like he's barely 324 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: more experienced than Mac. Mac played in the biggest stages 325 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 1: in college like Burrow did, and Mac has just slightly 326 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 1: less experienced than the kind of game justin Herbert, I 327 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: trust less than I trust Joe Burrow. I don't. I 328 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: can't get it's in the intangibles that we sort of 329 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 1: talk about with these two, But there's something about him 330 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 1: it makes it like he's not scared of Anybody's not 331 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: scared of Bill Belichick in the hoodie. He's just not 332 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: Let's put Cincinnati in the same scenario that we had 333 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: Buffalo in New England in and do you think Zach 334 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: Taylor would have put the reins in on the quarterback 335 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: the way they did to Mac Jones, Because when you 336 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: talk about the offensive coordinator for New England. He gets 337 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: an awful lot of credit. But I did see him 338 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 1: in Denver and he was a mess. And I've seen 339 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: him without Tom Brady and they haven't been that good. 340 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 1: So when you start praising Josh McDaniel, old Josh McDaniel, 341 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: old Josh McDaniel, Josh McDaniel without Belichick and without Tom Brady, 342 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: is what so you're you're saying, Oh, he drafted an 343 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: HVAC to be his quarterback ers. I don't think that 344 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 1: was the red choice in Denver. You know it couldn't 345 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: exactly run the offense really yea. And now with Mac Jones, 346 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: I have seen when the weather is not great, they 347 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 1: don't have confidence in him. I've been in enough of 348 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 1: these press comps with the coach. We believe in that guy, 349 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: we believe it, and then I look at the game 350 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: plan and the coach is lying. And that's what I 351 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: see with New England. Yes, he can manage the game. 352 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 1: He is the ultimate game manager. But when you don't 353 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: allow a quarterback to throw the ball down the field, 354 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: you tell me something about that guy, and I'm going 355 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: on that information. This is not my opinion. They won 356 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 1: the game in Buffalo, and it's a very good team. 357 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: They knew their team, they won the game, they got 358 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 1: a rookie, and they might win the division in a 359 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: rookie quarterback Bill Bell every football game, he says, how 360 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 1: can I win? Right? And he realizes the more that 361 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: guy throws, the chance of me winning go down. So 362 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna allow him to throw the ball less and 363 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,679 Speaker 1: less as the seasonal and less. That's information that I 364 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 1: can't avoid. That's information they gave me. This is not 365 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,719 Speaker 1: this is not my opinion. I look at it. I 366 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,439 Speaker 1: look at it as a as a good This is 367 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: the perfect we in or we out question, because you've 368 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,159 Speaker 1: got the coach and the logo versus the talent and 369 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: the youth. And they might actually face off in the playoffs, 370 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: and I think it would be a quite a match 371 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 1: of contrast between the two teams and of course the coaches, 372 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 1: but will have home field. And good question. Let's get 373 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,360 Speaker 1: to the next one here. It was cold in Green Bay, 374 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,920 Speaker 1: it was cold in Buffalo, and the broadcast curs loved it. 375 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: Both sides were it was other whole games. It was like, yeah, 376 00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: that's a football game, but you knew and once to 377 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 1: Eco and Collinsworth. We're going to the crowd with like 378 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 1: the third quarter, with fourteen minutes left, you knew, like, 379 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,640 Speaker 1: all right, this game's out of hand. Buffalo is doing 380 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: the same. And yet you look at the numbers this season, 381 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 1: home field advantage has not been that big a factor. 382 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 1: Road teams are one hundred twenty three, one hundred thirty 383 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,360 Speaker 1: one and one against somethings. It isn't eight less losses. 384 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: So as we talk about playoffs and seatings and cold weather, 385 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,920 Speaker 1: home field advantage is overrated. Are we in or we out? 386 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:32,120 Speaker 1: Chris Carter, It's definitely overrated. And the reason why the 387 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,719 Speaker 1: modern game is totally different, all right, the lack of 388 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: a huddle. And also American football fans haven't educated themselves 389 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 1: on the no huddle. You can only cheer for so long. 390 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 1: So when you listen to the telecast, watch absolutely absolutely fatigue, fantastigue. 391 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 1: They're they're on the shot clock too, the last ten 392 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: seconds of the play clock. They start cheering. But teams 393 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,639 Speaker 1: are going no huddle, and you have the microphone that 394 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: you can get a clear play into the quarterback that 395 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,159 Speaker 1: he can communicate. So offenses are a lot better. And 396 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: if you look at the arms that we have in 397 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: the NFL. We have more talent throwers, talented throwers than 398 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 1: any history in NFL, So that gives the team. If 399 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 1: you're on the road, you got one of those dudes, 400 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,400 Speaker 1: you got a better chance. So the communication, I'm totally 401 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 1: in it. It's overrated. Okay, it's over right, Adams. You 402 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: don't lose me in the nuance of splits and home 403 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 1: field or weather. Last week I had this bit like 404 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: I don't care about weather games as much as everybody 405 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 1: else cares about them, and it's because the thing that 406 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 1: matters more has experienced been there, which you brought up. 407 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 1: But even more than that, Logan Roy says to his 408 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 1: son Kindlin succession season finale, Season two, You're not a killer. 409 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: You have to be a killer. That's what I look at. 410 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 1: And that bends it, like are there killers on your team? 411 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: That doesn't matter? And yes, the Buccaneers that's what they were. 412 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 1: Last year. They went into every scary place known in 413 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: the world and they took care of business. And they 414 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 1: did at Lambo, they did it in the Superdome down 415 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,439 Speaker 1: in New Orleans. Like, are you a killer? Matters more 416 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 1: than anything else? I don't really care about that. It 417 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: is good. It's ironic too, because then they stopped in 418 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: their same beds for two weeks leading up to the 419 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Peter kept bringing that upstate. I didn't think 420 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: it's overrat you know why. I think air travel is 421 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: more comfortable now. I think the hotels are more comfortable. 422 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 1: I think he got more digital entertainment. I think it 423 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: is not getting on some crappy propeller playing like fifty 424 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: years ago and reading a newspaper and then go into 425 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: your bad hotel. I think they're more comfortable. I think 426 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 1: they're more pampered. And the fields are all field turf, Chris, 427 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,360 Speaker 1: there's no watering down the field beforehand, and there's none. 428 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 1: It's all universal fields like Giants on Champion NFC Championship 429 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: that field being frozen. Okay, oh absolutely, I mean we 430 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 1: got beat forty one Bagel, but Bagel, that's how Greg 431 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,159 Speaker 1: Camella scored a touchdown. Peter, I never knows it's right. 432 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: I think it is overrated because time and time again 433 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 1: we see the road teams winning age games and doesn't 434 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: mean it's worthless. It just means it's not the greatest 435 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: thing about Chris and Kay. You guys brought it up last, yes, yesterday. 436 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 1: The Packers are seven and six in Mighty Lambeau in 437 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: playoff games since two thousand and two with some dudes 438 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: at quarterback. Seven and six happened in New Orleans, Like 439 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: New Orleans goes in there, Brady doesn't there. I've never 440 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 1: thought about the things you just said. What's the biggest 441 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: disadvantage in twenty twenty two of going and playing on 442 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 1: the road, What's the biggest biggest is noise? Noise, noise 443 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:25,400 Speaker 1: and confusion. It it doesn't allow you to think clearly. 444 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: And that's what with the crowd, that's what we thought 445 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: this year the fans are back home. Teams will get 446 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 1: the advantage. Now. I think everyone at this breakfast table 447 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,400 Speaker 1: has seen All Madden. But if you missed it, there 448 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 1: is an encore presentation tonight at eight pm Eastern on 449 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: NFL Network. All Madden takes an in depth book at 450 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: his legendary coaching career, winning was Super Bowl with the 451 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: Raiders and walking away to become the biggest, most important broadcaster, epic, 452 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 1: legendary Pitchman, video game celebrity in sports history. So many 453 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: things meaningful to so many people and change the game, players, coaches, 454 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: football legends, all sit down and breakdown the lasting impacts 455 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 1: of John Madden.

A man who I think embodies a lot 460 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:22,640 Speaker 1: of the things that Madden did display and it's toughness, 461 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 1: it's winning, and it's culture. He won three Super Bowls 462 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 1: as the vice president of player personnel for the New 463 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:32,400 Speaker 1: England Patriots is now our NFL Network front office analyst. 464 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: Let's welcome in Scott Peola to the breakfast. What's gone on? 465 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 1: Good morning, everybody, Thanks for having me in again. Yes, 466 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: let's start with last night's game. Ben Roethlisberger's final home 467 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: game in Pittsburgh for all intents and purposes, had an 468 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: incredible career in Pittsburgh. But we've been talking about that 469 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: oh four draft a lot this morning. What are your 470 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 1: memories being in the front office during that oh four 471 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,360 Speaker 1: draft and maybe before then seeing this college prospect out 472 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 1: of Miami of Ohio. Yeah, yeah, Peter, A funny story. 473 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,719 Speaker 1: So we actually I was with the New England Patriots, 474 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: and we had a Monday night game in Denver. And 475 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,439 Speaker 1: the next day, early morning, I flew into Oxford, Ohio 476 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: because Miami of Ohio was getting ready to play Bowling 477 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:17,719 Speaker 1: Green and the great rising prospect Ben Lawethlisberger was playing, 478 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:19,399 Speaker 1: and I had a chance to get in there. I 479 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 1: got in early in the morning, and you know, that's 480 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: the week where we had the bye week coming, so 481 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,719 Speaker 1: you have this extra time to watch and scout players. 482 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 1: So I'm in there early in the head coach Terry 483 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: Hepner says, Hey, by the way, Ben's in here this morning, 484 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 1: do you want to visit with him? So I sat 485 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: with him on game day morning on a Tuesday. This 486 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 1: is when the MAC was playing Tuesday games. I sat 487 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: there and visited it with him, and I wanted to 488 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: hear this whole story how he didn't quarter back in 489 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: his senior year of high school until his final year 490 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: had played wide receiver. I know, Chris, you were talking 491 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 1: about it earlier, and it was really amazing. He went 492 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,920 Speaker 1: in three years of Miami of Ohio and made himself 493 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: as dominant player, and that season they lost the opener 494 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 1: to the Iowa Hawk Eyes, who ended up being eighth 495 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: in the country that year, and then they rattled off 496 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,919 Speaker 1: thirteen wins and Ben was the driving force behind that 497 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: entire operation. Great to see what an incredible career, saw 498 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: him as an opponent a number of times in the playoffs. 499 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: Really happy for him and proud of the career you 500 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: know that he has had for him. This is why 501 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 1: we love having you on game day morning college Chat 502 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 1: with Roethlisberger who shows up early to the facility. That's incredible, Scott. 503 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 1: But let's go from Western Pennsylvania to Eastern PA. The 504 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,880 Speaker 1: Eagles are in the playoffs. They got another game left, 505 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: they don't have to win it, they don't need help. 506 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 1: It's crazy, it's really really cool. And you've talked about 507 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,160 Speaker 1: this your most recent episode of the tape Heads podcast, 508 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,919 Speaker 1: which everyone should check out. You talked about Philly being overlooked. 509 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,120 Speaker 1: Playoffs are now just a couple of weeks away less 510 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 1: than that. Really what makes a team like the Eagles 511 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: so dangerous heading into wild card weekend? And dare we 512 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: push you for any stories of your own and your 513 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,440 Speaker 1: own experience about being an overlooked lower seed heading into 514 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: the postseason. Well, Kyle, being a part of an overlooked 515 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 1: seed in the playoffs. I go back to our two 516 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,400 Speaker 1: thousand one season, and I'm not comparing the Eagles exactly 517 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 1: to that two thousand and one team, but we had 518 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: a second year quarterback, Bill Belichick hadn't become the great 519 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick. Yet we started that season off one and three, 520 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,919 Speaker 1: and we weren't winning because of Tom Brady. We were 521 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 1: winning because of defense, special teams, and Tom Brady not 522 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,119 Speaker 1: losing games for us. He had a good season, not 523 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,400 Speaker 1: a great season. Those are some of the comparisons I see. 524 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,680 Speaker 1: The other comparison I see is right now with the 525 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles. They are confident, they have high energy, they 526 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 1: have a very good defense, They're ranked top ten in 527 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,679 Speaker 1: almost every important category, and they have a good young 528 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 1: quarterback that's not losing games. But most importantly, it's December 529 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 1: and January, and they have a running game. They have 530 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,120 Speaker 1: the second best running attack in the National Football League. 531 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: And for the Eagles, this is a historic season turning 532 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,880 Speaker 1: in terms of the running game. This is the second 533 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,919 Speaker 1: best season they have ever had in their existence, but 534 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,440 Speaker 1: also tops among the National Football League. You know, I've 535 00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,119 Speaker 1: watched this team. A lot of people wanted to make 536 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,360 Speaker 1: a joke of Nick surr Ni, and I was very 537 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 1: frustrated that because I've met Nick Todd Hailey did a 538 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 1: great job of hiring him at the Kansas City Chiefs 539 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 1: and was with him his first four years in the NFL. 540 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 1: He'd come from Indiana Pennsylvania. And Nick is smart. He's 541 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,919 Speaker 1: all football. He does everything the right way on the field. 542 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 1: Off the field, he's a tremendous human being, and he 543 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,399 Speaker 1: knows the run game. The other thing that they have 544 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 1: in Philly is Jeff Staltland, who to me is one 545 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 1: of the most underrated offensive line coaches in the entire 546 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 1: National Football League. He has put that offensive line together 547 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,880 Speaker 1: and developed them to become a tremendous offensive line. He's 548 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: very overlooked. And I've known Jeff's actually since nineteen eighty eight, 549 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,399 Speaker 1: where we worked together as gas at Syracuse University, and 550 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 1: Jeff has put in the work and won championships at 551 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 1: Alabama and at the Philadelphia Eagles. He only dishing out 552 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: the love for that Philly Eagles program this morning. You 553 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 1: know what they don't have. Scott is experienced. Jalen Hurts 554 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 1: doesn't have it. Nick Sirianni doesn't have it. Joe Burrow 555 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: doesn't have it, neithered to Zach Taylor, and they win, 556 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,439 Speaker 1: took care of business against the Chiefs. As a front office, 557 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 1: from that perspective, and from that standpoint, what do you 558 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 1: expect out of young franchise quarterbacks like Jalen Hurts and 559 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 1: Burrow and Mac Jones as they head into their first 560 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 1: playoff action. Okay, this is a great question because you're 561 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 1: looking at two of those quarterbacks and Burrow and Hurts, 562 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 1: who are in their second season. I had an experience 563 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 1: with a quarterback, as I mentioned earlier, that was in 564 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,880 Speaker 1: his second season, Tom Brady. What he was surrounded by 565 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,679 Speaker 1: was a tremendous defense, very good special teams, a top 566 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 1: running game, and again opportunistic defense that gave them the 567 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 1: ball at the right time in the place. And to me, 568 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 1: the most important thing of a young quarterback that's ascending 569 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 1: having his first appearance in the playoffs is they can't 570 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 1: lose the game for you. And this is what separates 571 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: I think some of the young quarterbacks that come into 572 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 1: the playoffs and it's an early flash that they have 573 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 1: and then they disappear. That's because they can't handle the 574 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,119 Speaker 1: big stage. This is one of the important moments to 575 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 1: find out are they going to be able to do 576 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 1: things well enough where they don't lose the game? K 577 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 1: Last week the Pro Football Hall of Fame Scott announced 578 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 1: the Class of twenty twenty two. The finalist a name 579 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,400 Speaker 1: that was on the list, same name from last year, 580 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 1: Richard Seymour, A guy that you know something about. Why 581 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:18,640 Speaker 1: did you write a year ago? And after being on 582 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 1: the list for a year, why do you think that 583 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 1: this season Richard Seymour finally gets fitted for that gold jacket? Yeah, Chris, 584 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,120 Speaker 1: I thought he should have been in last year, as 585 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,199 Speaker 1: I wrote the article last year. But Richard Seymour, he 586 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 1: has versatility, he had dominance. He was great at his position. 587 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:35,159 Speaker 1: The thing is, when he came into the league, he 588 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 1: was a We had him as a note, we had 589 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 1: him as a nose guard, then we played him at 590 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 1: three technique, five technique. He played what we needed him 591 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 1: to play in the moment, and Richard sacrificed a lot 592 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: of personal glory and a lot of personal stats. People 593 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: want to talk about analytics. I love analytics, but Richard 594 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 1: Seymour's analytics don't match his dominance. When he played in 595 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 1: the National Football League, he had to play in a 596 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: two gap defense and watching him. I got to see 597 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 1: him again in his final year at Georgia. I will 598 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: never forget being on the field at the University of 599 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,479 Speaker 1: Kentucky watching Georgia and watching he and Marcus Stroud prepare 600 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 1: for the game. I had never seen size nor explosion 601 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 1: combined in one package with that length in my career. 602 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 1: And to me, Richard Seymour was a dominant player that 603 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 1: certainly belongs to the national in the Pro Football Hall 604 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 1: of Fame. Yeah, and an unbelievable career. And obviously the 605 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 1: Georgia Bulldogs looked the part this past weekend as well. 606 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 1: They're carrying that tradition on Scott. We gotta call out 607 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 1: the painting behind you, the artwork. Rain Drops should not 608 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 1: be falling on your head, my friend. You're a ray 609 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 1: of sunshine today, chival Rock. I'm hoping the rain actually 610 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: makes something grow up here. That's what I'm hoping.
