Here's the deal. 66 00:03:00,308 --> 00:03:03,988 Speaker 7: I've got the Broncos. You went to t Off just 67 00:03:05,108 --> 00:03:09,188 Speaker 7: I like, you make a declaration, explain it, you know, 68 00:03:09,388 --> 00:03:12,068 Speaker 7: so that declarations the Broncos every win this football game. 69 00:03:12,148 --> 00:03:14,708 Speaker 7: I love Stidham and I have some keys victory real quick, 70 00:03:14,748 --> 00:03:18,428 Speaker 7: Stidham controlling the game, being a game manager, tackle well, 71 00:03:18,668 --> 00:03:20,908 Speaker 7: because we know that the Patriots can get away from 72 00:03:20,988 --> 00:03:23,388 Speaker 7: you with their running attack. You know, Drake May's got 73 00:03:23,468 --> 00:03:25,228 Speaker 7: some got some legs that he can work with. 74 00:03:25,348 --> 00:03:27,028 Speaker 4: And then last affect Drake May. 75 00:03:27,228 --> 00:03:29,028 Speaker 7: And I want to talk about Drake May real quick 76 00:03:29,148 --> 00:03:31,708 Speaker 7: because I know Kyle's going to take Stidham and love Stenham. 77 00:03:32,388 --> 00:03:35,748 Speaker 7: Drake May this playoff run has not played as well 78 00:03:35,748 --> 00:03:38,188 Speaker 7: as he's been as he played in the regular season. 79 00:03:38,228 --> 00:03:39,188 Speaker 4: I mean the regular season. 80 00:03:39,508 --> 00:03:42,908 Speaker 7: Just to give some stats, right, seventy two percent completion 81 00:03:43,068 --> 00:03:46,548 Speaker 7: percentage now to fifty eight percent completion percentage. 82 00:03:46,548 --> 00:03:47,628 Speaker 4: That's a pretty big drop off. 83 00:03:47,828 --> 00:03:49,988 Speaker 7: And then he's had two interceptions, five fumbles. 84 00:03:50,028 --> 00:03:50,788 Speaker 4: Why does that matter? 85 00:03:51,148 --> 00:03:54,028 Speaker 7: It matters because at the end of the day, we 86 00:03:54,228 --> 00:03:56,428 Speaker 7: don't know who Drake May is in these situations. 87 00:03:56,988 --> 00:03:58,388 Speaker 4: We don't know who he is when. 88 00:03:58,268 --> 00:04:00,988 Speaker 7: It comes to the bright lights and the massive games 89 00:04:01,068 --> 00:04:03,628 Speaker 7: that really have big implications, which are going to the 90 00:04:03,668 --> 00:04:06,668 Speaker 7: Super Bowl, we don't really know who he is. I mean, 91 00:04:06,708 --> 00:04:08,748 Speaker 7: he's getting on a plane, he's got a forty foot 92 00:04:08,828 --> 00:04:11,108 Speaker 7: Tom Brady statue looking at him as he flies out 93 00:04:11,108 --> 00:04:11,748 Speaker 7: of Foxborough. 94 00:04:12,068 --> 00:04:12,828 Speaker 4: He's going into. 95 00:04:12,748 --> 00:04:15,988 Speaker 7: Mile high against, by the way, the fifth best defensive 96 00:04:16,028 --> 00:04:18,748 Speaker 7: line in NFL history, fifth most sacks in NFL history, 97 00:04:18,788 --> 00:04:21,268 Speaker 7: this d line has with the Broncos, that's who he's 98 00:04:21,308 --> 00:04:23,548 Speaker 7: going against. We don't know who Drake May is in 99 00:04:23,588 --> 00:04:26,788 Speaker 7: that situation, so I've got my key to victory. I'm 100 00:04:26,868 --> 00:04:29,668 Speaker 7: going with the Broncos and the Boys instead, and Drake 101 00:04:29,748 --> 00:04:32,948 Speaker 7: May's got to really figure out how to overcome these 102 00:04:33,348 --> 00:04:34,988 Speaker 7: playoff deficits that he's had. 103 00:04:35,788 --> 00:04:39,828 Speaker 8: Isaac, So what I heard is you don't know who 104 00:04:40,068 --> 00:04:43,268 Speaker 8: Drake May is, but you know who Stitty is, which 105 00:04:43,348 --> 00:04:45,028 Speaker 8: is I'm stitching to get over that. 106 00:04:45,148 --> 00:04:46,548 Speaker 4: But anyway, I'm going to go this. 107 00:04:46,668 --> 00:04:50,868 Speaker 8: Okay, losing your franchise quarterback the week before the conference championship, 108 00:04:50,948 --> 00:04:53,188 Speaker 8: it's not ideal. Now, Jared Stidham does go in there, 109 00:04:53,228 --> 00:04:55,428 Speaker 8: and he is a starter. His record is one in 110 00:04:55,588 --> 00:04:57,068 Speaker 8: three and that is what it is. The thing that 111 00:04:57,148 --> 00:05:00,508 Speaker 8: confirms me, concerns me the most is his last pass 112 00:05:00,628 --> 00:05:02,868 Speaker 8: was seven hundred and forty nine days ago as a 113 00:05:02,948 --> 00:05:03,988 Speaker 8: starter in this league. 114 00:05:04,468 --> 00:05:06,348 Speaker 4: That's the thing that concerns me. The most other thing 115 00:05:06,388 --> 00:05:07,668 Speaker 4: that concerns me is. 116 00:05:08,028 --> 00:05:10,188 Speaker 8: My brother Isaac said that you don't know who Drake 117 00:05:10,268 --> 00:05:11,988 Speaker 8: May is. Let me tell you who Drake May is. 118 00:05:12,108 --> 00:05:15,828 Speaker 8: Drake May is in MVP consideration and if I remember correctly, 119 00:05:16,148 --> 00:05:18,668 Speaker 8: correct me if I'm wrong, KB, But my brother KB, 120 00:05:18,828 --> 00:05:21,108 Speaker 8: my big Who's KB, and Mike G voted for him 121 00:05:21,148 --> 00:05:21,548 Speaker 8: to win. 122 00:05:21,468 --> 00:05:23,588 Speaker 4: The MVP this year. So if there's I know you 123 00:05:23,668 --> 00:05:25,548 Speaker 4: may not know who he is, but. 124 00:05:25,628 --> 00:05:27,108 Speaker 8: I think there's a lot of us on the show 125 00:05:27,148 --> 00:05:29,028 Speaker 8: that may know a little bit about what number ten 126 00:05:29,108 --> 00:05:31,148 Speaker 8: has done for the New England Patriots this year. Not 127 00:05:31,228 --> 00:05:33,908 Speaker 8: only that, but the Patriots defense is along with the 128 00:05:33,988 --> 00:05:37,228 Speaker 8: list of money yards per play since the two thousand 129 00:05:37,428 --> 00:05:40,108 Speaker 8: Ravens defense. And so I've said on this show that 130 00:05:40,188 --> 00:05:42,948 Speaker 8: the Patriots in the AFC is probably the most complete 131 00:05:43,028 --> 00:05:47,428 Speaker 8: team and my opinion, offensively and defensively, they have dominated 132 00:05:47,508 --> 00:05:48,228 Speaker 8: in the playoffs. 133 00:05:48,268 --> 00:05:50,588 Speaker 4: The defense has and I know that Drake May hasn't 134 00:05:50,628 --> 00:05:51,508 Speaker 4: done his. 135 00:05:51,668 --> 00:05:53,868 Speaker 8: Best in the playoffs, but a lot of that has 136 00:05:53,908 --> 00:05:55,908 Speaker 8: to do with the pressure which he will get again 137 00:05:55,988 --> 00:05:57,148 Speaker 8: against the Denver Broncos. 138 00:05:57,268 --> 00:06:03,348 Speaker 4: Now I would love I would really love. 139 00:06:03,548 --> 00:06:07,028 Speaker 8: For a noosole mind tollanold who fonged to have another 140 00:06:07,108 --> 00:06:09,988 Speaker 8: shot at a Super Bowl. I would love for my 141 00:06:10,188 --> 00:06:13,588 Speaker 8: former coach Sean Paying to have another shot at a 142 00:06:13,628 --> 00:06:14,628 Speaker 8: Super Bowl and win it. 143 00:06:15,068 --> 00:06:17,588 Speaker 4: But because Isaac went the Broncos. Guys, I'm going to Pats. 144 00:06:19,468 --> 00:06:22,668 Speaker 4: Pats will win this game on Sunday KB. 145 00:06:23,388 --> 00:06:26,508 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Mantha, how'd that feel? You feel nervous? 146 00:06:26,708 --> 00:06:29,468 Speaker 1: It's a tough game to pick. I had Broncos on 147 00:06:29,548 --> 00:06:31,708 Speaker 1: my thing. I had the Broncos, and then he had 148 00:06:31,748 --> 00:06:33,508 Speaker 1: his thing about the Broncos. I was like, you know what, 149 00:06:33,748 --> 00:06:36,428 Speaker 1: he took it. Personally, I'm I'm gonna Zig. 150 00:06:36,308 --> 00:06:38,628 Speaker 4: When he's Zags, and I'm going to go with the Pats. 151 00:06:38,708 --> 00:06:40,068 Speaker 4: And it was a toss up. 152 00:06:40,108 --> 00:06:44,828 Speaker 8: I think both NFC and AFC Conference Championships KB is 153 00:06:45,548 --> 00:06:47,748 Speaker 8: such great matchups, and it was a toss up for me. 154 00:06:48,828 --> 00:06:51,868 Speaker 8: I just going through the reasons, going through what I 155 00:06:51,948 --> 00:06:54,148 Speaker 8: felt was important to me, I was like, you know what, 156 00:06:54,748 --> 00:06:55,788 Speaker 8: I would love everything. 157 00:06:55,868 --> 00:06:59,308 Speaker 4: My mind was saying Pats, My heart was saying Broncos. 158 00:06:59,148 --> 00:06:59,668 Speaker 3: In your mouth. 159 00:07:00,388 --> 00:07:00,748 Speaker 5: And then. 160 00:07:04,468 --> 00:07:05,588 Speaker 4: Katies, I got some Pats. 161 00:07:06,628 --> 00:07:08,828 Speaker 1: If you're taking the Pats, I'm going to take on 162 00:07:08,948 --> 00:07:11,108 Speaker 1: a journey. It's not going to make you feel better 163 00:07:11,268 --> 00:07:13,668 Speaker 1: because I think that there were many who said, oh 164 00:07:13,788 --> 00:07:16,508 Speaker 1: my Bonnicks is out, so you know, once the Patriots 165 00:07:16,548 --> 00:07:18,708 Speaker 1: beat the snot out of Houston, they're going to the 166 00:07:18,748 --> 00:07:21,308 Speaker 1: Super Bowl because they're facing a backup quarterback. I do 167 00:07:21,428 --> 00:07:23,788 Speaker 1: not think Patriots fans said that, and I'm talking about 168 00:07:23,828 --> 00:07:26,788 Speaker 1: old school Patriots fans going back to the nineties eighties 169 00:07:26,828 --> 00:07:29,948 Speaker 1: that the recent history of New England getting on a 170 00:07:30,028 --> 00:07:35,068 Speaker 1: plane and flying to Denver in January is bad. Let's 171 00:07:35,068 --> 00:07:37,548 Speaker 1: get into it. Two thousand and five. Mike Brave was 172 00:07:37,548 --> 00:07:38,828 Speaker 1: on this team. He knows how it went. 173 00:07:39,668 --> 00:07:41,988 Speaker 4: The Patriots had won back to back Super Bowls. They 174 00:07:42,028 --> 00:07:44,068 Speaker 4: were trying for the three peat. This was not a 175 00:07:44,148 --> 00:07:44,628 Speaker 4: good game. 176 00:07:45,188 --> 00:07:47,988 Speaker 1: They lost by two touchdowns to Jake Plumber. Brady threw 177 00:07:48,028 --> 00:07:50,908 Speaker 1: two picks, including the infamous one to Champ Bailey, and 178 00:07:51,068 --> 00:07:55,548 Speaker 1: Denver beats up New England next a title game twenty thirteen. 179 00:07:56,148 --> 00:07:58,268 Speaker 1: The Brady Patriots had not won the Super Bowl in 180 00:07:58,428 --> 00:08:03,588 Speaker 1: nine years. Peyton Manning has four hundred yards again, up 181 00:08:03,708 --> 00:08:04,828 Speaker 1: by doubled digits. 182 00:08:04,908 --> 00:08:06,068 Speaker 4: It's not a good game. 183 00:08:06,228 --> 00:08:08,588 Speaker 1: At one point, the Broncos were winning this game twenty 184 00:08:08,788 --> 00:08:12,028 Speaker 1: to three. Not a good game, not a good trip 185 00:08:12,068 --> 00:08:12,708 Speaker 1: for New England. 186 00:08:13,188 --> 00:08:13,948 Speaker 4: And then let's do it. 187 00:08:14,108 --> 00:08:17,388 Speaker 1: The last time we ever saw Peyton versus Brady, Title 188 00:08:17,468 --> 00:08:17,988 Speaker 1: game again. 189 00:08:18,588 --> 00:08:19,388 Speaker 4: Twenty fifteen. 190 00:08:19,508 --> 00:08:22,908 Speaker 1: Season opening drive of the game, Brayton goes right down 191 00:08:22,948 --> 00:08:27,068 Speaker 1: to Owen Daniel's touchdown. Brady needed a ridiculous effort from 192 00:08:27,108 --> 00:08:27,988 Speaker 1: Gronk to get them. 193 00:08:27,908 --> 00:08:30,868 Speaker 4: Back into it, including this catch. They go for two 194 00:08:30,988 --> 00:08:32,988 Speaker 4: at the end to Adleman. There it is. He's in 195 00:08:33,148 --> 00:08:35,228 Speaker 4: two to two too. This is the last play. He 196 00:08:35,388 --> 00:08:36,028 Speaker 4: doesn't get it. 197 00:08:36,148 --> 00:08:38,588 Speaker 1: It's Peyton's last game in Mile High, It's the last 198 00:08:38,628 --> 00:08:42,908 Speaker 1: Brady Payton guess what again? On the CBS podium, the 199 00:08:43,028 --> 00:08:46,548 Speaker 1: Broncos hold off to the trophy. I think Patriots fans 200 00:08:46,668 --> 00:08:49,428 Speaker 1: know this. I think Mike Brabel knows this. I think 201 00:08:49,508 --> 00:08:51,788 Speaker 1: it is a very very difficult thing to go in 202 00:08:51,868 --> 00:08:54,628 Speaker 1: there and to win. And yet I've been thinking a 203 00:08:54,708 --> 00:08:58,108 Speaker 1: lot about the vibe of these Patriots and the vibe 204 00:08:58,188 --> 00:09:01,108 Speaker 1: of the Mike Brabel Patriots, and I just pictured this 205 00:09:01,308 --> 00:09:05,428 Speaker 1: moment where you know, Drake may is kind of sitting 206 00:09:05,468 --> 00:09:08,628 Speaker 1: around and he's watching film. He's maybe a little bore, 207 00:09:08,628 --> 00:09:11,588 Speaker 1: a little locked in on that, and Mike Brabel just 208 00:09:11,788 --> 00:09:12,748 Speaker 1: bursts in the door. 209 00:09:13,748 --> 00:09:16,348 Speaker 4: He says, I need your help. I can't tell you 210 00:09:16,428 --> 00:09:19,108 Speaker 4: what it is. Can you never ask me about it later. 211 00:09:20,548 --> 00:09:23,148 Speaker 9: We've got to beat some people, and Jake Mays goes 212 00:09:23,748 --> 00:09:26,868 Speaker 9: who's playing We're going to take And I think that 213 00:09:26,988 --> 00:09:29,188 Speaker 9: the New England Patriots will get on a plane this 214 00:09:29,348 --> 00:09:31,068 Speaker 9: weekend and they will do it. 215 00:09:31,388 --> 00:09:33,948 Speaker 1: And I think that they will go into Denver with 216 00:09:34,188 --> 00:09:38,628 Speaker 1: the score twenty seven to twenty six. I think Drake 217 00:09:38,708 --> 00:09:41,588 Speaker 1: May does it. I think they get it done. And 218 00:09:41,708 --> 00:09:43,548 Speaker 1: everyone wants to say, oh, do you remember what happened 219 00:09:43,548 --> 00:09:45,228 Speaker 1: to Renner at the end of that movie. It's not 220 00:09:45,348 --> 00:09:47,188 Speaker 1: about what happens to them at the end of the movie. 221 00:09:47,228 --> 00:09:49,868 Speaker 1: It's about the energy he brings to the movie. And 222 00:09:49,988 --> 00:09:52,588 Speaker 1: I think Drake May brings that energy to Mile Highe 223 00:09:52,628 --> 00:09:57,108 Speaker 1: this weekend. In addition, Drake May is the number one 224 00:09:57,308 --> 00:10:01,028 Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL against pressure this year. You can 225 00:10:01,068 --> 00:10:05,908 Speaker 1: look up any stat you want, passer rating, yards attempt, 226 00:10:05,948 --> 00:10:09,108 Speaker 1: all that statistical minutia when he is pressured. 227 00:10:09,548 --> 00:10:10,948 Speaker 4: He is number one in. 228 00:10:11,028 --> 00:10:14,068 Speaker 1: The league and all those not two, not fourt five 229 00:10:14,388 --> 00:10:16,828 Speaker 1: the best in the league. Denver is going to bring pressure. 230 00:10:16,948 --> 00:10:19,628 Speaker 1: Denver secondary is fantastic. I just said the game is 231 00:10:19,668 --> 00:10:21,668 Speaker 1: going to be twenty seven to twenty six. It is 232 00:10:21,748 --> 00:10:24,068 Speaker 1: going to be a very good game. And I think 233 00:10:24,148 --> 00:10:26,708 Speaker 1: Drake May is going to reverse history for New England 234 00:10:27,068 --> 00:10:30,788 Speaker 1: and finally go there into Denver January and go home 235 00:10:30,868 --> 00:10:31,228 Speaker 1: with a win. 236 00:10:31,828 --> 00:10:35,108 Speaker 3: Oh my god, I'm so happy. I am floored that 237 00:10:35,228 --> 00:10:36,348 Speaker 3: you just quoted the town. 238 00:10:36,628 --> 00:10:37,268 Speaker 4: What a story. 239 00:10:37,348 --> 00:10:40,388 Speaker 8: By the way, oh Kby, you said that I was 240 00:10:40,468 --> 00:10:43,468 Speaker 8: going to be very uncomfortable, and I was because for 241 00:10:43,548 --> 00:10:45,748 Speaker 8: about eighty five percent of your thing, I was hiding 242 00:10:45,908 --> 00:10:46,148 Speaker 8: like this. 243 00:10:46,948 --> 00:10:50,028 Speaker 4: And then talk about a quote. Kevin Hart. Stand up. 244 00:10:50,068 --> 00:10:53,068 Speaker 4: He said, it's about to go down. 245 00:10:53,228 --> 00:10:55,908 Speaker 8: When I start to feel that switch that you had, brother, 246 00:10:56,268 --> 00:10:58,668 Speaker 8: I started to pop up a little bit and like 247 00:10:58,748 --> 00:11:01,068 Speaker 8: a little weasel, and then I started to feel the 248 00:11:01,188 --> 00:11:02,668 Speaker 8: vibe and the bounce started. 249 00:11:03,508 --> 00:11:05,468 Speaker 4: That's what I'm talking about. Heck yah. 250 00:11:07,148 --> 00:11:09,468 Speaker 2: If the control room has the availability to show that 251 00:11:09,588 --> 00:11:11,988 Speaker 2: twenty fifteen playoff footage again, I will take it because 252 00:11:11,988 --> 00:11:13,148 Speaker 2: I want to tell a little story too. 253 00:11:13,228 --> 00:11:13,468 Speaker 4: Kyle. 254 00:11:13,548 --> 00:11:15,508 Speaker 3: I was not prepared to tell this story, but I will. 255 00:11:15,428 --> 00:11:18,708 Speaker 2: Do my best as it has something to do it 256 00:11:18,828 --> 00:11:21,988 Speaker 2: has something to do with film. Honestly, you mentioned the 257 00:11:22,068 --> 00:11:25,788 Speaker 2: town Affleck Renner Oscar season is upon us. We're hearing 258 00:11:25,788 --> 00:11:27,628 Speaker 2: about all these awards twenty fifteen. 259 00:11:27,668 --> 00:11:28,868 Speaker 3: I was a reporter at CBS. 260 00:11:28,988 --> 00:11:33,748 Speaker 2: CBS's entire fleet, fleet of production staff goes to Denver 261 00:11:33,908 --> 00:11:37,308 Speaker 2: to produce this AFC Championship game. Everybody and their mother 262 00:11:37,428 --> 00:11:38,868 Speaker 2: is in Denver to put on this game. It's an 263 00:11:38,908 --> 00:11:42,108 Speaker 2: epic battle, and rightfully so, they send Jamie Rdall to 264 00:11:42,188 --> 00:11:44,388 Speaker 2: Charlotte because I gotta go cover the NFC title game 265 00:11:44,468 --> 00:11:46,708 Speaker 2: because they got to have some representation from the other 266 00:11:46,788 --> 00:11:48,788 Speaker 2: game that was on that day. And there's a nice 267 00:11:48,788 --> 00:11:51,788 Speaker 2: storm on the East Coast, oddly on ceremonious since that 268 00:11:51,948 --> 00:11:54,588 Speaker 2: is happening again this weekend on the East Coast. I 269 00:11:54,748 --> 00:11:58,228 Speaker 2: finally get to Charlotte and CBS has a Super Bowl 270 00:11:58,308 --> 00:12:00,428 Speaker 2: that year, in twenty fifteen, and they are preparing for 271 00:12:00,548 --> 00:12:03,988 Speaker 2: an unbelievable Super Bowl open, which is in homage to 272 00:12:04,068 --> 00:12:05,588 Speaker 2: A Night D's Oscars open. 273 00:12:05,708 --> 00:12:06,748 Speaker 3: Kyle correct me if I'm wrong. 274 00:12:06,828 --> 00:12:09,788 Speaker 2: It's all these famous faces with a white backdrop and 275 00:12:09,868 --> 00:12:13,828 Speaker 2: they just say incredible words and references to movies from 276 00:12:13,868 --> 00:12:15,828 Speaker 2: that year, and CBS says, we're going to replicate this 277 00:12:15,988 --> 00:12:18,148 Speaker 2: for the open of our super Bowl in twenty fifteen. 278 00:12:18,548 --> 00:12:20,308 Speaker 3: They had incredible people in that open. 279 00:12:20,508 --> 00:12:22,188 Speaker 2: They call me up, they say, Jamie, I know you're 280 00:12:22,228 --> 00:12:23,828 Speaker 2: going to go do the Panthers game tomorrow morning. 281 00:12:23,908 --> 00:12:24,308 Speaker 3: That's fine. 282 00:12:24,548 --> 00:12:28,668 Speaker 2: Any chance you can get to the Bobcats Arena on Saturday. 283 00:12:28,868 --> 00:12:31,188 Speaker 2: Michael Jordan is scheduled to sit down in front of 284 00:12:31,228 --> 00:12:33,628 Speaker 2: our camera and our producer can't get to Charlotte to 285 00:12:33,868 --> 00:12:35,988 Speaker 2: interact with him. Can you go conduct this interview? And 286 00:12:36,028 --> 00:12:38,228 Speaker 2: I was like, what are you serious? I get to 287 00:12:38,228 --> 00:12:40,828 Speaker 2: go talk to Michael Jordan. My face was never seen, 288 00:12:41,028 --> 00:12:43,188 Speaker 2: barely shook the man's hand, he sat down, he did 289 00:12:43,268 --> 00:12:45,748 Speaker 2: the interview. It was incredible. It showed up on the 290 00:12:45,868 --> 00:12:50,228 Speaker 2: opening to that Super Bowl. I say that because we 291 00:12:50,348 --> 00:12:52,148 Speaker 2: all fall in love with films. We fall in love 292 00:12:52,188 --> 00:12:54,268 Speaker 2: with great stories. We fall in love with the open 293 00:12:54,508 --> 00:12:56,548 Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl time and time again. 294 00:12:56,628 --> 00:12:56,908 Speaker 3: And BC. 295 00:12:57,028 --> 00:12:59,228 Speaker 2: I'm sure we'll do an incredible job this weekend. But 296 00:12:59,388 --> 00:13:01,948 Speaker 2: that twenty fifteen footage just brought me back to that day, 297 00:13:02,068 --> 00:13:03,828 Speaker 2: to that when CBS was all in town and I 298 00:13:03,908 --> 00:13:04,348 Speaker 2: was in Charlot. 299 00:13:04,828 --> 00:13:06,228 Speaker 3: Kyle, you picked the Patriots. 300 00:13:06,588 --> 00:13:08,668 Speaker 2: I gotta go with the film that could be Jared 301 00:13:08,708 --> 00:13:10,028 Speaker 2: Sidham against Sam Darnald. 302 00:13:10,148 --> 00:13:10,868 Speaker 3: I gotta go with the. 303 00:13:10,868 --> 00:13:14,348 Speaker 2: Denver Broncos because there is not a more incredible movie 304 00:13:14,508 --> 00:13:16,948 Speaker 2: from the twenty twenty five season. It already would have 305 00:13:17,028 --> 00:13:19,868 Speaker 2: been awesome if it was Bo Nicks against Sam Darnald, 306 00:13:20,108 --> 00:13:23,268 Speaker 2: but the fact that it is Stitty and Darnald, potentially, 307 00:13:23,388 --> 00:13:25,508 Speaker 2: if we are right at this table, some of us 308 00:13:25,708 --> 00:13:28,668 Speaker 2: to have it via Seattle, Denver super Bowl. That's where 309 00:13:28,668 --> 00:13:30,868 Speaker 2: I'm going with my pick, Kyle, And you just tee 310 00:13:30,948 --> 00:13:33,148 Speaker 2: that up because you mentioned the town, which is a 311 00:13:33,308 --> 00:13:35,748 Speaker 2: top I love. That is a top five favorite movie 312 00:13:35,788 --> 00:13:37,548 Speaker 2: of mine. That is, if it's on, you watch it. 313 00:13:37,788 --> 00:13:39,868 Speaker 2: And ironically enough, at the end of that, Ben Affleck 314 00:13:40,028 --> 00:13:41,788 Speaker 2: just leaves an orange because he's going to go off 315 00:13:41,828 --> 00:13:44,548 Speaker 2: into the sunset in Florida. And what are those quarterbacks 316 00:13:44,548 --> 00:13:46,428 Speaker 2: always say when they win the Super Bowl? I'm going 317 00:13:46,468 --> 00:13:48,628 Speaker 2: to Disney World and that is in Florida. 318 00:13:48,828 --> 00:13:50,508 Speaker 3: So here you are, kab I like that. 319 00:13:50,548 --> 00:13:52,868 Speaker 4: That's poetic. Thank you so much, so, Jamie. 320 00:13:52,908 --> 00:13:55,668 Speaker 1: After your pick, I have a question for the group, 321 00:13:55,788 --> 00:13:58,548 Speaker 1: and I'll tell you the question first. Which of your 322 00:13:58,628 --> 00:14:01,628 Speaker 1: picks do you feel more confident in? The NFC title 323 00:14:01,668 --> 00:14:04,748 Speaker 1: game or the AFC Title Game? For me, don't feel 324 00:14:04,828 --> 00:14:07,308 Speaker 1: terribly confident in either. But I have this thing that 325 00:14:07,388 --> 00:14:09,228 Speaker 1: happened in the show as we've been talking this morning, 326 00:14:09,308 --> 00:14:12,628 Speaker 1: where I'm like, I'm this close to saying the Broncos. 327 00:14:12,308 --> 00:14:12,788 Speaker 4: Are going to win. 328 00:14:12,948 --> 00:14:17,188 Speaker 1: I just home, defense, pass, Rush, Stidham will be fine. 329 00:14:17,668 --> 00:14:20,548 Speaker 4: Peyton, I just I'm very compelled by that, and yet 330 00:14:20,748 --> 00:14:22,028 Speaker 4: I am still going New England. 331 00:14:22,108 --> 00:14:24,588 Speaker 1: So I guess my answer would be, I'm more confident 332 00:14:24,668 --> 00:14:26,868 Speaker 1: in Seattle winning at home against the Rams, which I 333 00:14:26,908 --> 00:14:29,508 Speaker 1: also think will be closer for me. I'm more confident 334 00:14:29,548 --> 00:14:31,428 Speaker 1: in Seattle beating the Rams than I am a New 335 00:14:31,468 --> 00:14:32,988 Speaker 1: England beating the Broncos. 336 00:14:33,548 --> 00:14:35,828 Speaker 4: For me, I am I'm the opposite. 337 00:14:35,988 --> 00:14:38,908 Speaker 8: So I first, I'm the same in regards to I'm 338 00:14:38,988 --> 00:14:40,508 Speaker 8: very very nervous about both of them. 339 00:14:40,708 --> 00:14:44,228 Speaker 4: They're they're number one. It makes me very very uncomfortable. 340 00:14:44,348 --> 00:14:47,308 Speaker 8: But the thing that I the matchup that I think 341 00:14:47,348 --> 00:14:50,548 Speaker 8: I'm more confident in, and it's very very little, would 342 00:14:50,628 --> 00:14:53,508 Speaker 8: have to be the Patriots winning the game against the Broncos. 343 00:14:53,948 --> 00:14:56,868 Speaker 8: With how the Patriots have been playing at all facets 344 00:14:56,908 --> 00:14:59,988 Speaker 8: of the football game with Mike Vrabel, I know the history, 345 00:15:00,068 --> 00:15:02,508 Speaker 8: I get it. I just think that where Mike Rabel 346 00:15:02,628 --> 00:15:05,228 Speaker 8: has these guys right now, they are so and it's 347 00:15:05,268 --> 00:15:08,308 Speaker 8: going to be a hard challenge for them. But based 348 00:15:08,388 --> 00:15:11,388 Speaker 8: on that defense, based on what I feel and what 349 00:15:11,508 --> 00:15:13,908 Speaker 8: I think that Drake may will be and the poise 350 00:15:13,988 --> 00:15:16,348 Speaker 8: that he's been playing with all season, he will find 351 00:15:16,388 --> 00:15:18,588 Speaker 8: a way to overcome that. And I think when when 352 00:15:18,628 --> 00:15:20,788 Speaker 8: Will Campbell got slapped in the chin by his head. 353 00:15:20,628 --> 00:15:23,508 Speaker 4: Coach, he'll respawn. And so that's how I feel. I 354 00:15:23,628 --> 00:15:25,028 Speaker 4: think I'm more confident in that game. 355 00:15:25,388 --> 00:15:27,948 Speaker 7: Yeah, I guys might not expect this. I'm actually more 356 00:15:28,028 --> 00:15:30,388 Speaker 7: confident in my AFC title game. I love that with 357 00:15:31,028 --> 00:15:33,028 Speaker 7: my boys Stidham here because I think if Stidham can 358 00:15:33,108 --> 00:15:34,868 Speaker 7: manage the game like we talked about and he can 359 00:15:34,948 --> 00:15:37,348 Speaker 7: limit mistakes, I think this Broncos team as a whole 360 00:15:37,788 --> 00:15:40,428 Speaker 7: can do it. Have a great game, right, They can 361 00:15:40,468 --> 00:15:42,268 Speaker 7: play really well in this game. I think the Stafford 362 00:15:42,348 --> 00:15:46,068 Speaker 7: versus Sam Darnold, that kind of conversation is a little 363 00:15:46,068 --> 00:15:48,428 Speaker 7: bit more difficult. I think those teams are really evenly matched. 364 00:15:48,668 --> 00:15:51,908 Speaker 7: It's a complicated scenario. So I'm all in on Stidham. 365 00:15:52,028 --> 00:15:54,268 Speaker 7: I think that's my easier pick. But that's a good question, Kyle. 366 00:15:54,268 --> 00:15:55,188 Speaker 7: I like thinking about it, Kyle. 367 00:15:55,228 --> 00:15:56,188 Speaker 3: I don't want to answer the question. 368 00:15:56,268 --> 00:15:57,908 Speaker 2: What I want to say is I'm most confident in 369 00:15:57,948 --> 00:16:00,108 Speaker 2: the fact that we have Jeff's hosteller coming up next 370 00:16:00,188 --> 00:16:01,988 Speaker 2: on GMFB. So we got to get to the news, 371 00:16:02,068 --> 00:16:05,308 Speaker 2: all right. NFL Network insider Tom pellisara with us this morning. Tom, 372 00:16:05,988 --> 00:16:08,988 Speaker 2: Championship weekend is upon us. So what injury do we 373 00:16:09,028 --> 00:16:11,148 Speaker 2: need to know about? Which is super important? After we 374 00:16:11,228 --> 00:16:13,628 Speaker 2: made the picks? Tom tell us how we could be wrong, Javi. 375 00:16:13,628 --> 00:16:16,228 Speaker 10: But let's start with Seahawks left tackle Charles Cross, who 376 00:16:16,308 --> 00:16:19,308 Speaker 10: returned to action last week against the forty nine ers. 377 00:16:19,348 --> 00:16:22,468 Speaker 10: Cross is not practice the past two days, is still 378 00:16:22,508 --> 00:16:25,708 Speaker 10: dealing with a foot injury, but coach Mike McDonald said 379 00:16:25,748 --> 00:16:29,148 Speaker 10: that at this time they are optimistic the Cross we'll 380 00:16:29,188 --> 00:16:32,188 Speaker 10: be able to go on Sunday against the Rams. Mean 381 00:16:32,228 --> 00:16:34,988 Speaker 10: while on the AFC side, Patriots wide receiver Matt Collins 382 00:16:35,068 --> 00:16:38,908 Speaker 10: return to practice on Thursday, officially limited as he tries 383 00:16:38,948 --> 00:16:41,068 Speaker 10: to make his way back from an abdominal injury he 384 00:16:41,148 --> 00:16:44,788 Speaker 10: suffered in Week sixteen. Status TBD for Sunday. They have 385 00:16:44,948 --> 00:16:47,788 Speaker 10: until four pm Eastern time on Saturday if they're going 386 00:16:47,828 --> 00:16:51,028 Speaker 10: to activate Houlins from injured reserve. Same goast for Broncos 387 00:16:51,148 --> 00:16:53,548 Speaker 10: running back JK. Dobbins, who's been back at practice the 388 00:16:53,588 --> 00:16:56,388 Speaker 10: past couple of days, officially listed as limited as he 389 00:16:56,508 --> 00:16:59,668 Speaker 10: comes back from a foot injury. The original target was 390 00:16:59,748 --> 00:17:02,108 Speaker 10: for Dobbins to potentially be back for the Super Bowl. 391 00:17:02,508 --> 00:17:03,668 Speaker 4: That's still two weeks away. 392 00:17:03,748 --> 00:17:06,668 Speaker 10: Seems unli likely that Dobbins will be that far ahead 393 00:17:06,668 --> 00:17:08,948 Speaker 10: of schedule, but at this point they have not ruled 394 00:17:08,948 --> 00:17:09,388 Speaker 10: out JK. 395 00:17:09,548 --> 00:17:10,668 Speaker 4: Dobbins just yet.

Congratulations. That is really really cool. 440 00:19:16,868 --> 00:19:19,508 Speaker 1: In the meantime, Jeff, your name's been around this week 441 00:19:19,628 --> 00:19:21,628 Speaker 1: because you were a part of a very selectroup of 442 00:19:21,748 --> 00:19:24,188 Speaker 1: quarterbacks who took over late in the season because the 443 00:19:24,268 --> 00:19:27,148 Speaker 1: starter was injured. For you, this happened the nineteen ninety 444 00:19:27,228 --> 00:19:30,788 Speaker 1: season and the Giants are just rolling. Phil Simms gets 445 00:19:30,868 --> 00:19:33,828 Speaker 1: hurt in week fifteen. Tell us, Jef, what is that 446 00:19:34,028 --> 00:19:37,068 Speaker 1: feeling like that maybe Jared Stinham is having this week 447 00:19:37,148 --> 00:19:39,908 Speaker 1: and you were having those years ago when you're tossed 448 00:19:39,988 --> 00:19:42,708 Speaker 1: the keys to a ferrari and a very important part 449 00:19:42,748 --> 00:19:43,228 Speaker 1: of the season. 450 00:19:43,668 --> 00:19:45,548 Speaker 12: Well, I don't know if I was tossed the keys 451 00:19:45,588 --> 00:19:49,028 Speaker 12: to Ferrari, We're probably more like a ram truck or 452 00:19:49,068 --> 00:19:55,148 Speaker 12: something like that. Basically maybe had three flat tires. Because 453 00:19:55,428 --> 00:19:57,828 Speaker 12: what happened is we had lost three of our previous 454 00:19:57,908 --> 00:20:00,908 Speaker 12: four games up until the game that I started and 455 00:20:00,988 --> 00:20:04,588 Speaker 12: Phil got hurt. So you know, it wasn't one of 456 00:20:04,628 --> 00:20:06,468 Speaker 12: those things where we were on a roll and everybody 457 00:20:06,588 --> 00:20:08,548 Speaker 12: was gun ho and all of a sudden your starter 458 00:20:08,668 --> 00:20:11,468 Speaker 12: goes down and there's this Okay, now, what's going to happen? 459 00:20:11,588 --> 00:20:15,468 Speaker 11: It was the Giants aren't playing well. Now they're backups in. 460 00:20:15,828 --> 00:20:18,028 Speaker 12: He hasn't been on the field, hasn't had an opportunity, 461 00:20:18,748 --> 00:20:23,028 Speaker 12: He's their weak link, never gonna happen. And yeah, that's tough. 462 00:20:23,148 --> 00:20:25,828 Speaker 12: That's a tough set of keys to grab and try 463 00:20:25,868 --> 00:20:28,948 Speaker 12: to get that thing moving again. And then I was 464 00:20:29,068 --> 00:20:30,948 Speaker 12: just one of the one of the cogs in that hole, 465 00:20:31,188 --> 00:20:34,028 Speaker 12: in that whole group. Basically, we were just going to 466 00:20:34,068 --> 00:20:36,068 Speaker 12: pump the tires back up and get ruling. 467 00:20:36,388 --> 00:20:38,508 Speaker 2: What you're saying, is really anybody else want to drive? 468 00:20:38,628 --> 00:20:40,148 Speaker 2: Or I guess I'm the one who's jumping in the 469 00:20:40,228 --> 00:20:43,908 Speaker 2: driver's seat, Jeff, I'm going to quote quarterbacks often you 470 00:20:44,028 --> 00:20:45,908 Speaker 2: hear them say this specifically backups. 471 00:20:46,228 --> 00:20:48,628 Speaker 3: I prepare like I'm a starter. I prepare like I'm 472 00:20:48,628 --> 00:20:48,988 Speaker 3: a starter. 473 00:20:49,508 --> 00:20:51,828 Speaker 2: Now there's preparing like a starter and then there's being 474 00:20:51,908 --> 00:20:54,348 Speaker 2: thrust into being the starter. Can you give us some 475 00:20:54,468 --> 00:20:57,348 Speaker 2: insight into what Jared Sidham might be feeling like right now? 476 00:20:57,428 --> 00:21:00,308 Speaker 2: Because you had two games to start before you hit 477 00:21:00,348 --> 00:21:02,908 Speaker 2: the playoffs, Jared Sidham is now starting a game for 478 00:21:02,988 --> 00:21:04,348 Speaker 2: the first time since Week eighteen. 479 00:21:04,428 --> 00:21:07,588 Speaker 3: Keen of twenty twenty three, What does this feel like 480 00:21:07,708 --> 00:21:08,588 Speaker 3: for him this week? 481 00:21:09,228 --> 00:21:11,228 Speaker 12: Well, we're very similar in a lot of ways in 482 00:21:11,348 --> 00:21:14,628 Speaker 12: our seventh year, having very limited opportunities. 483 00:21:14,668 --> 00:21:15,548 Speaker 11: It was a little different for me. 484 00:21:15,668 --> 00:21:15,988 Speaker 4: Back then. 485 00:21:16,108 --> 00:21:18,868 Speaker 11: There was no free agency. I had no chance to move. 486 00:21:19,308 --> 00:21:24,188 Speaker 12: I had just actually that week when Sims went down, 487 00:21:24,388 --> 00:21:26,828 Speaker 12: had just had a conversation with my wife after practice. 488 00:21:26,868 --> 00:21:29,068 Speaker 11: I came home and I said that was it. I'm done. 489 00:21:29,748 --> 00:21:31,388 Speaker 12: I'm retiring at the end of the year and we'll 490 00:21:31,388 --> 00:21:35,268 Speaker 12: figure out something different. Seven weeks later, standing at a 491 00:21:35,548 --> 00:21:37,788 Speaker 12: podium with two of my sons and my pregnant wife 492 00:21:37,828 --> 00:21:41,508 Speaker 12: having just won the Super Bowl. Part of that separation, 493 00:21:42,628 --> 00:21:45,228 Speaker 12: you know, you prepare as best as you can. Now 494 00:21:45,628 --> 00:21:47,268 Speaker 12: you don't get the reps. You know, I didn't get 495 00:21:47,308 --> 00:21:51,428 Speaker 12: any reps. Your offense morphs as the season goes on, 496 00:21:51,708 --> 00:21:54,668 Speaker 12: so you know what you were running in the early 497 00:21:54,748 --> 00:21:56,868 Speaker 12: part of the year or during pre season, most likely 498 00:21:56,908 --> 00:22:00,628 Speaker 12: you're not running that anymore. You've morphed into something differently. 499 00:22:00,828 --> 00:22:05,588 Speaker 12: People game plan, you adjust. So you know, Sidam's going 500 00:22:05,628 --> 00:22:08,068 Speaker 12: into a situation where he's just got to look at 501 00:22:08,108 --> 00:22:10,788 Speaker 12: this game as any other game. You can't let the 502 00:22:10,908 --> 00:22:13,828 Speaker 12: bigness of the game get into your head. It's a 503 00:22:13,948 --> 00:22:18,068 Speaker 12: game you're coming out. You're going to prepare mentally so 504 00:22:18,188 --> 00:22:21,028 Speaker 12: that you know everything about that game plan. You know 505 00:22:21,108 --> 00:22:23,548 Speaker 12: what that defense is going to present to you, you 506 00:22:23,628 --> 00:22:25,348 Speaker 12: know how to attack it, what you're going to do 507 00:22:25,428 --> 00:22:27,748 Speaker 12: in certain situations, and then you try to let the 508 00:22:27,788 --> 00:22:31,228 Speaker 12: physical part just just become natural and just follow through 509 00:22:31,268 --> 00:22:31,428 Speaker 12: with it. 510 00:22:31,908 --> 00:22:34,628 Speaker 8: Jeff, what great insight as to what Stidam are going 511 00:22:34,708 --> 00:22:37,548 Speaker 8: through in this situation at this moment right now. Now, 512 00:22:37,588 --> 00:22:39,148 Speaker 8: I want to get your insight on something else. You 513 00:22:39,228 --> 00:22:42,148 Speaker 8: play for Bill Parcells. Jared Stillam plays for Sean Payton. Now, 514 00:22:42,188 --> 00:22:44,508 Speaker 8: I played for Sean Payton, and while playing for him, 515 00:22:44,548 --> 00:22:48,148 Speaker 8: he would always rave about Bill Parcells and often would say, Hey, 516 00:22:48,148 --> 00:22:50,588 Speaker 8: I called Bill today and got his his insight on 517 00:22:50,668 --> 00:22:53,988 Speaker 8: certain stuff. What did Bill park Sales do for you 518 00:22:54,228 --> 00:22:56,428 Speaker 8: and for the team to give you, guys confidence in 519 00:22:56,548 --> 00:22:59,708 Speaker 8: this situation that may have seen unsure seemed unsure at 520 00:22:59,748 --> 00:23:00,068 Speaker 8: that time. 521 00:23:00,668 --> 00:23:05,308 Speaker 12: Well, Bill and I never really got along. So that 522 00:23:05,508 --> 00:23:07,268 Speaker 12: was a tough situation because I wanted to play, I 523 00:23:07,348 --> 00:23:09,668 Speaker 12: wanted to be out on the field. I was looking 524 00:23:09,708 --> 00:23:12,628 Speaker 12: for an opportunity. Bill was the head coach. We just 525 00:23:12,708 --> 00:23:14,588 Speaker 12: didn't see eye to eye on a lot on a 526 00:23:14,628 --> 00:23:16,948 Speaker 12: lot of things. One of the things that he did 527 00:23:17,068 --> 00:23:20,308 Speaker 12: do though, was during that season he gave me an 528 00:23:20,348 --> 00:23:23,788 Speaker 12: opportunity in the middle of the Dallas game and just 529 00:23:23,868 --> 00:23:26,388 Speaker 12: out of the blue, Simms was not hurt, nothing was 530 00:23:26,468 --> 00:23:30,188 Speaker 12: going on. He yells Hostelller, Hosteller, you're in and just 531 00:23:30,268 --> 00:23:31,388 Speaker 12: out of blue, he was testing. 532 00:23:31,628 --> 00:23:33,348 Speaker 11: And Bill was a big mental guy. 533 00:23:33,548 --> 00:23:36,948 Speaker 12: I liked to play those mental gymnastics and keep guys 534 00:23:37,028 --> 00:23:40,428 Speaker 12: undertes and so I took that opportunity was able to 535 00:23:40,828 --> 00:23:41,748 Speaker 12: drive our team down. 536 00:23:42,028 --> 00:23:45,908 Speaker 11: I think I scored on a scramble. It was a 537 00:23:46,348 --> 00:23:47,148 Speaker 11: precursor of. 538 00:23:48,228 --> 00:23:51,308 Speaker 12: What could happen in the future for me, for my teammates, 539 00:23:51,388 --> 00:23:53,908 Speaker 12: knowing what I could do at the moment's notice. And 540 00:23:54,268 --> 00:23:56,908 Speaker 12: I think the fact that that Bill came into our 541 00:23:56,988 --> 00:24:02,028 Speaker 12: first meeting after Phil went down and basically said listen, guys, 542 00:24:02,228 --> 00:24:04,628 Speaker 12: in front of everybody, he said, if we lose, it's 543 00:24:04,628 --> 00:24:07,388 Speaker 12: not going to be because of that quarterback. And Payton 544 00:24:07,468 --> 00:24:10,308 Speaker 12: I think came right out and said, you know, after 545 00:24:10,828 --> 00:24:14,588 Speaker 12: he told everybody that bo has has uh Has is. 546 00:24:14,628 --> 00:24:15,348 Speaker 11: Out for the season. 547 00:24:15,388 --> 00:24:18,308 Speaker 12: It's going to have surgery, and he just turned it 548 00:24:18,388 --> 00:24:19,988 Speaker 12: real quickly and said, the city's ready. 549 00:24:20,908 --> 00:24:23,028 Speaker 11: You know, he's going to get it done with full 550 00:24:23,068 --> 00:24:24,868 Speaker 11: confidence in him. And I think what that does is 551 00:24:24,908 --> 00:24:27,508 Speaker 11: I think it put everybody on notice, everybody inside the 552 00:24:27,588 --> 00:24:30,868 Speaker 11: locker room. I noticed that. Listen, there's no excuses. 553 00:24:31,028 --> 00:24:32,908 Speaker 12: You know, you're not going to be sitting back here 554 00:24:32,948 --> 00:24:35,108 Speaker 12: and saying Loan, you know, we've got all these excuses 555 00:24:35,148 --> 00:24:37,468 Speaker 12: now because we've got a backup coming in. It's next 556 00:24:37,548 --> 00:24:40,788 Speaker 12: man up. You do your job and uh, nobody has 557 00:24:40,828 --> 00:24:42,628 Speaker 12: any excuses. He's going to get the job done. And 558 00:24:42,628 --> 00:24:45,108 Speaker 12: I think that's uh, that was that was real key 559 00:24:45,348 --> 00:24:47,788 Speaker 12: for for their team, for Stidham. 560 00:24:47,988 --> 00:24:49,188 Speaker 11: You know they'll be ready to play. 561 00:24:49,508 --> 00:24:50,228 Speaker 4: Jeff, You're a beast. 562 00:24:50,308 --> 00:24:53,308 Speaker 7: I feel like this schedule of zoom between you and 563 00:24:53,308 --> 00:24:56,148 Speaker 7: instead of literally has the final words before in the 564 00:24:56,228 --> 00:24:57,108 Speaker 7: game need to be from you. 565 00:24:57,268 --> 00:24:57,508 Speaker 4: Jeff. 566 00:24:57,908 --> 00:25:00,588 Speaker 7: But you you talked about just your experience being put 567 00:25:00,628 --> 00:25:03,668 Speaker 7: in the situation, and I would think as a competitor 568 00:25:03,748 --> 00:25:07,028 Speaker 7: you have this it's like it's my time, very much 569 00:25:07,068 --> 00:25:09,428 Speaker 7: a chip on the shoulder mentality. I would think it 570 00:25:09,508 --> 00:25:12,588 Speaker 7: gets laser focused. Can you just talk about the emotions, 571 00:25:12,628 --> 00:25:15,228 Speaker 7: because I'm sure there's also nervousness, but just like, what 572 00:25:15,428 --> 00:25:18,548 Speaker 7: was what was the attitude going into your first real 573 00:25:18,988 --> 00:25:20,468 Speaker 7: this game matters opportunity. 574 00:25:21,028 --> 00:25:23,628 Speaker 12: Yeah, I think that's probably one of the biggest things 575 00:25:23,708 --> 00:25:26,468 Speaker 12: that he'll have to be able to handle, and that's 576 00:25:26,908 --> 00:25:29,988 Speaker 12: eliminating all the outside noise. You know, you just you're 577 00:25:30,068 --> 00:25:32,588 Speaker 12: just concerned about what's inside that locker room. They're all 578 00:25:32,708 --> 00:25:35,508 Speaker 12: rallying around, That's all you're concerned about. And for me 579 00:25:35,628 --> 00:25:38,508 Speaker 12: at that time, you know, everybody was saying that the 580 00:25:38,588 --> 00:25:40,708 Speaker 12: Giants are done, you know, all the pundits, all the 581 00:25:40,788 --> 00:25:44,308 Speaker 12: former coaches, Bill Walsh, Madden, everybody said that. 582 00:25:44,468 --> 00:25:46,628 Speaker 11: He can't get it done. They're done, you know. 583 00:25:46,908 --> 00:25:49,668 Speaker 12: And probably I can count on one hand the people 584 00:25:49,748 --> 00:25:52,468 Speaker 12: that thought outside that locker room that thought that I 585 00:25:52,508 --> 00:25:54,668 Speaker 12: could get it done. And they were all family members, 586 00:25:55,028 --> 00:25:57,908 Speaker 12: so you know, it was one of those situations where 587 00:25:58,908 --> 00:26:02,108 Speaker 12: you just concentrate on what you can control, you know. Ourselves. 588 00:26:02,268 --> 00:26:04,828 Speaker 12: Was a guy that he used to always say, play 589 00:26:04,868 --> 00:26:07,268 Speaker 12: within yourself. And I always thought, what kind of dig 590 00:26:07,428 --> 00:26:09,468 Speaker 12: is that? And really it wasn't a dig. It was 591 00:26:09,908 --> 00:26:13,028 Speaker 12: you play within yourself. Everybody, I can't do. I can't 592 00:26:13,068 --> 00:26:15,228 Speaker 12: block for the line of them, I can't block and 593 00:26:15,428 --> 00:26:15,748 Speaker 12: run for. 594 00:26:15,788 --> 00:26:17,908 Speaker 11: The running back. I can't catch the passes for the 595 00:26:17,948 --> 00:26:18,708 Speaker 11: wide receivers. 596 00:26:19,028 --> 00:26:20,508 Speaker 4: I've got to do my job. 597 00:26:20,988 --> 00:26:23,508 Speaker 11: And Belichick used to always say the same thing. Just 598 00:26:23,668 --> 00:26:24,348 Speaker 11: do your job. 599 00:26:24,748 --> 00:26:26,988 Speaker 12: And as a as a quarterback, he's got to go 600 00:26:27,028 --> 00:26:29,188 Speaker 12: into that just saying I just got to do my 601 00:26:29,428 --> 00:26:31,228 Speaker 12: job and let my players make play. 602 00:26:31,908 --> 00:26:32,028 Speaker 4: Well. 603 00:26:32,108 --> 00:26:34,348 Speaker 1: Listen, you have some certainly some things in common now 604 00:26:34,388 --> 00:26:36,908 Speaker 1: with Jared Sidham, Jeff, but also some huge distinctions. 605 00:26:37,388 --> 00:26:38,988 Speaker 4: Sidham gets to be at home for. 606 00:26:39,068 --> 00:26:42,748 Speaker 1: The title game against an upstart Patriots team due respect 607 00:26:42,788 --> 00:26:45,948 Speaker 1: to them. You had to go into Candlestick, dude, and 608 00:26:46,068 --> 00:26:49,028 Speaker 1: go against a Niners team that was trying to three peat. 609 00:26:49,428 --> 00:26:51,028 Speaker 1: Just let's get into I want to hear all this 610 00:26:51,588 --> 00:26:54,348 Speaker 1: take us back to getting ready to prepare the to 611 00:26:54,428 --> 00:26:57,268 Speaker 1: face that Joe Montana, forty nine ers going there and 612 00:26:57,308 --> 00:26:57,748 Speaker 1: getting to win. 613 00:26:57,788 --> 00:26:58,428 Speaker 4: It's incredible. 614 00:26:58,748 --> 00:27:00,828 Speaker 11: Well again, it's it's eliminating the noise. 615 00:27:00,868 --> 00:27:03,788 Speaker 12: I wasn't going and playing against Montana, but yet every 616 00:27:03,868 --> 00:27:07,348 Speaker 12: question as Montana and me, the comparison, I was always 617 00:27:07,388 --> 00:27:12,028 Speaker 12: the weekly between the quarterbacks that we faced and my 618 00:27:12,428 --> 00:27:15,548 Speaker 12: and my experience. So I was always the underdog there. 619 00:27:16,348 --> 00:27:18,348 Speaker 12: I wasn't looking at that. I I had to put 620 00:27:18,428 --> 00:27:22,468 Speaker 12: all that stuff outside, never let it enter my mind. 621 00:27:22,788 --> 00:27:25,388 Speaker 12: I'm playing a defense that is a really good defense. 622 00:27:25,428 --> 00:27:27,788 Speaker 12: They're going for a three peet, they're an excellent team 623 00:27:28,108 --> 00:27:31,108 Speaker 12: you get in that stage of the playoffs. There's no 624 00:27:31,228 --> 00:27:34,108 Speaker 12: weaknesses on these teams. They're they're there for a reason, 625 00:27:34,548 --> 00:27:36,348 Speaker 12: so you're going to take their best shot. And so 626 00:27:36,748 --> 00:27:39,308 Speaker 12: for me, it was just to prepare, prepare, prepared, prepare, 627 00:27:39,668 --> 00:27:41,308 Speaker 12: so that I knew what that defense was going to 628 00:27:41,388 --> 00:27:42,708 Speaker 12: do and where I was going to attack. 629 00:27:43,028 --> 00:27:44,828 Speaker 11: And I think that's the same with with Sidham. 630 00:27:44,868 --> 00:27:48,148 Speaker 12: He's he's just gonna uh know that defense to the study, 631 00:27:48,868 --> 00:27:51,948 Speaker 12: let the let the physical abilities play out in the game, 632 00:27:52,268 --> 00:27:55,268 Speaker 12: you know, use that ship on your shoulder and just 633 00:27:55,508 --> 00:27:58,108 Speaker 12: let it rip, you know. I think I think playing 634 00:27:58,188 --> 00:28:02,348 Speaker 12: at home is huge. I think playing uh you know, 635 00:28:02,468 --> 00:28:05,188 Speaker 12: for for those teammates, for that defense, that's how they're playing. 636 00:28:05,228 --> 00:28:07,988 Speaker 12: They all rally around them, just like our defense did 637 00:28:08,068 --> 00:28:11,108 Speaker 12: for me. They just they rallied around and they made plays. 638 00:28:11,148 --> 00:28:13,588 Speaker 12: They gave me opportunities. And that's what will happen here 639 00:28:14,028 --> 00:28:14,748 Speaker 12: with the Broncos. 640 00:28:14,908 --> 00:28:17,028 Speaker 8: Well, Jeff, you just said it about the defense, right. 641 00:28:17,108 --> 00:28:21,588 Speaker 8: You mentioned that the tabloids the headlines was Montana versus you, 642 00:28:21,708 --> 00:28:25,068 Speaker 8: but it was really Montana versus your defense. Now, the 643 00:28:25,188 --> 00:28:28,228 Speaker 8: Denver Broncos, they aren't the New York Giants, defense. 644 00:28:27,948 --> 00:28:29,228 Speaker 4: But they're great in their own way. 645 00:28:29,348 --> 00:28:32,268 Speaker 8: Tell us a little bit about how having a defense 646 00:28:32,388 --> 00:28:34,108 Speaker 8: and a dominant one helps you. 647 00:28:34,148 --> 00:28:35,748 Speaker 4: As a quarterback in those situations. 648 00:28:36,108 --> 00:28:39,988 Speaker 11: Well, I think again. You know, as a quarterback coming in, especially. 649 00:28:39,868 --> 00:28:43,828 Speaker 12: As a backup, you're used to always being really looked 650 00:28:43,868 --> 00:28:46,828 Speaker 12: at and judged on very few plays. 651 00:28:47,228 --> 00:28:49,228 Speaker 11: You get very few opportunities. 652 00:28:49,348 --> 00:28:51,788 Speaker 12: Say you've come in for a series, so your starter 653 00:28:51,868 --> 00:28:54,188 Speaker 12: gets hurt, normally is coming back in and you've got 654 00:28:54,308 --> 00:28:56,708 Speaker 12: very few plays to go out and do it. As 655 00:28:56,748 --> 00:28:59,268 Speaker 12: a starter, you know you've got these opportunities. If you 656 00:28:59,348 --> 00:29:01,908 Speaker 12: have a bad series, you're coming in the next series 657 00:29:01,948 --> 00:29:03,788 Speaker 12: to be able to recoup. If you have a bad game, 658 00:29:03,788 --> 00:29:05,628 Speaker 12: you're coming in the new game to be able to 659 00:29:06,068 --> 00:29:06,828 Speaker 12: redeem yourself. 660 00:29:07,188 --> 00:29:07,708 Speaker 4: As a back. 661 00:29:07,988 --> 00:29:09,748 Speaker 12: Can't do that, so you've got to be really, really 662 00:29:09,828 --> 00:29:13,148 Speaker 12: mentally tough. Having a great defense allows you to be 663 00:29:13,228 --> 00:29:16,668 Speaker 12: a little bit more aggressive. You want to be able 664 00:29:16,708 --> 00:29:18,908 Speaker 12: to You don't want to be your own worst enemy, 665 00:29:19,268 --> 00:29:23,148 Speaker 12: let the genders get to you.

We just have full trust in each 734 00:32:24,068 --> 00:32:27,068 Speaker 13: other to make plays throughout the game and to change 735 00:32:27,068 --> 00:32:29,988 Speaker 13: the outcome of the game. So it's another week where 736 00:32:30,468 --> 00:32:32,868 Speaker 13: we feel like because each and every week, the opponent 737 00:32:32,908 --> 00:32:36,028 Speaker 13: gets tougher, the matchup gets tougher, and that's what playoff 738 00:32:36,028 --> 00:32:38,868 Speaker 13: football is about. So each and every week we feel 739 00:32:38,908 --> 00:32:40,708 Speaker 13: like we got to step up our game and level 740 00:32:40,788 --> 00:32:41,788 Speaker 13: up our game as well. 741 00:32:42,508 --> 00:32:43,548 Speaker 4: There's a week to level up. 742 00:32:43,788 --> 00:32:46,148 Speaker 14: It is now mantime. We talk a lot about jareds 743 00:32:46,188 --> 00:32:48,308 Speaker 14: Toham coming in at the quarterback position, but we need 744 00:32:48,388 --> 00:32:51,188 Speaker 14: to spend a couple of minutes on the defense atage 745 00:32:51,268 --> 00:32:54,828 Speaker 14: defense when Championships is there for a reason. But is 746 00:32:54,908 --> 00:32:56,748 Speaker 14: there extra pressure and what is that like for the 747 00:32:56,828 --> 00:32:59,308 Speaker 14: defense knowing on the other side of the ball give 748 00:32:59,348 --> 00:33:00,188 Speaker 14: the backup quarterback. 749 00:33:00,348 --> 00:33:00,388 Speaker 4: No. 750 00:33:00,468 --> 00:33:02,748 Speaker 8: I think when you're the defense like the Denver Broncos 751 00:33:02,828 --> 00:33:04,708 Speaker 8: and you've been so dominant, not only get to the 752 00:33:04,788 --> 00:33:05,908 Speaker 8: quarterback but also. 753 00:33:05,748 --> 00:33:06,668 Speaker 4: Taking them ball away. 754 00:33:07,068 --> 00:33:09,028 Speaker 8: I go back to what Jeff Hosteler said in the 755 00:33:09,108 --> 00:33:11,908 Speaker 8: previous interview for what it does for your quarterback, you 756 00:33:11,948 --> 00:33:13,588 Speaker 8: know what it does for Stitty And I think what 757 00:33:13,668 --> 00:33:16,828 Speaker 8: stood out the most about what Jeff said was eliminates 758 00:33:16,868 --> 00:33:19,108 Speaker 8: the fear of making mistakes because if you know, in 759 00:33:19,148 --> 00:33:21,468 Speaker 8: the event that you do make one, you have guys 760 00:33:21,588 --> 00:33:25,308 Speaker 8: like Pat Sartin and Nick Bonito and Talano Hufunga that 761 00:33:25,388 --> 00:33:27,228 Speaker 8: are going to come up with a big play to 762 00:33:27,548 --> 00:33:30,548 Speaker 8: give you another opportunity to write the quote unquote wrong 763 00:33:30,668 --> 00:33:33,708 Speaker 8: that whatever happened in the game. So having that defense, 764 00:33:34,068 --> 00:33:36,868 Speaker 8: it's a great backboard for you. It's a great way 765 00:33:36,948 --> 00:33:38,588 Speaker 8: for a quarterback to kind of settle in a game, 766 00:33:38,668 --> 00:33:40,028 Speaker 8: knowing that this is a team effort. 767 00:33:40,068 --> 00:33:42,228 Speaker 4: And more importantly, it's not all on me when you. 768 00:33:42,268 --> 00:33:45,228 Speaker 14: Can't also play football thinking I can't make a mistake, 769 00:33:45,268 --> 00:33:45,828 Speaker 14: particularly in. 770 00:33:45,868 --> 00:33:46,348 Speaker 4: A game like this. 771 00:33:46,548 --> 00:33:48,868 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean the game of football is a game 772 00:33:48,868 --> 00:33:50,748 Speaker 8: of mistakes. The team that wins it are the teams 773 00:33:50,788 --> 00:33:51,868 Speaker 8: that limits those, right. 774 00:33:51,908 --> 00:33:52,828 Speaker 4: And so when you have a. 775 00:33:52,868 --> 00:33:55,228 Speaker 8: Defense like the Denver Broncos who creates a lot of 776 00:33:55,348 --> 00:33:57,708 Speaker 8: mistakes for the team they're going up against, good things 777 00:33:57,828 --> 00:33:58,308 Speaker 8: usually happen. 778 00:33:58,628 --> 00:33:59,468 Speaker 3: They can't wait for that one. 779 00:33:59,508 --> 00:34:00,828 Speaker 14: And you know that there's a lot of bron Ghos 780 00:34:00,908 --> 00:34:03,028 Speaker 14: fans that are just can't wait on the edge of 781 00:34:03,068 --> 00:34:04,948 Speaker 14: their seats for this game.

Can he be a haymaker? Let's go 813 00:35:44,988 --> 00:35:46,908 Speaker 8: back to when he was a haymaker.

In 823 00:36:08,948 --> 00:36:12,428 Speaker 8: nineteen eighty three, Kenneth Walker was so good he was 824 00:36:12,468 --> 00:36:14,988 Speaker 8: second in Offensive Rookie of the Year voting second to 825 00:36:15,028 --> 00:36:18,428 Speaker 8: Garrett Wilson. Even though Kenneth Walker had more first place 826 00:36:18,548 --> 00:36:22,588 Speaker 8: votes than in twenty twenty four Seattle fires, Pete Carroll, 827 00:36:22,868 --> 00:36:25,268 Speaker 8: Mike McDonald is hired as a head coach, and Mike 828 00:36:25,388 --> 00:36:27,588 Speaker 8: McDonald hires Ryan Grubb. 829 00:36:28,228 --> 00:36:33,108 Speaker 4: That would be his first first ever coaching experience at 830 00:36:33,188 --> 00:36:33,748 Speaker 4: the pro level. 831 00:36:33,868 --> 00:36:35,708 Speaker 8: Previous to that, he was always in college, and he 832 00:36:35,788 --> 00:36:37,948 Speaker 8: brought the college system over to the Seattle Seahawks. 833 00:36:37,988 --> 00:36:41,108 Speaker 4: What does that mean? Heavy? Shot gone? How heavy? 834 00:36:41,748 --> 00:36:44,508 Speaker 8: The twenty twenty four Seattle Seahawks were under center only 835 00:36:44,588 --> 00:36:48,228 Speaker 8: twenty two percent of the time. That combined with some injuries, 836 00:36:48,548 --> 00:36:51,868 Speaker 8: Kenneth Walker had eleven games where he rushed for half 837 00:36:52,468 --> 00:36:54,188 Speaker 8: the rushing yards that he did his rookie. 838 00:36:53,988 --> 00:36:55,868 Speaker 4: Season and two less touchdowns. 839 00:36:56,788 --> 00:36:59,428 Speaker 8: Kenneth Walker is Batman, and if you don't have the 840 00:36:59,508 --> 00:37:01,868 Speaker 8: right director, you get movies like Batman and Robin with 841 00:37:01,948 --> 00:37:04,028 Speaker 8: George Clooney and the nipplesuit being. 842 00:37:03,948 --> 00:37:06,988 Speaker 4: Chased around by Artist Schwarzenegger. But with the right director, 843 00:37:08,228 --> 00:37:10,988 Speaker 4: you get guys like The Black Knight, not the Dark Knight. 844 00:37:11,228 --> 00:37:14,508 Speaker 8: For Kenneth Walker, Clint Kubiak, it's his Christopher Nolan in 845 00:37:14,668 --> 00:37:17,108 Speaker 8: comes Clint Kulbiak back to the West Coast, back to. 846 00:37:17,068 --> 00:37:19,508 Speaker 4: The under the center, back to run first football, the 847 00:37:19,548 --> 00:37:22,028 Speaker 4: type of football that makes kenn Walker great. 848 00:37:22,748 --> 00:37:26,548 Speaker 8: Kenneth Walker this year has over eleven hundred yards rushing, 849 00:37:26,748 --> 00:37:31,148 Speaker 8: all while splitting with Zach Sharbonnay first of the Rams 850 00:37:31,188 --> 00:37:34,388 Speaker 8: this year Kenneth Walker in both meetings have averaged over 851 00:37:34,468 --> 00:37:36,988 Speaker 8: one hundred yards rushing and one TD all while coming 852 00:37:37,028 --> 00:37:38,748 Speaker 8: off a game last week where he had one hundred 853 00:37:38,748 --> 00:37:42,068 Speaker 8: and sixteen yards and three tds, which has only been. 854 00:37:41,988 --> 00:37:44,908 Speaker 4: Done three other times at NFL history. Check out this graphic. 855 00:37:46,108 --> 00:37:50,708 Speaker 8: Say Kwon, Barkley, Curtis Morien, and Motley at on the bottom. 856 00:37:51,308 --> 00:37:52,708 Speaker 4: This is a fun fact about these guys. 857 00:37:52,828 --> 00:37:54,348 Speaker 8: All three of these running backs made it to the 858 00:37:54,388 --> 00:37:56,908 Speaker 8: Super Bowl. Now would have been Wouldn't that be major 859 00:37:57,188 --> 00:37:58,348 Speaker 8: if Kenneth Walker made it to. 860 00:37:58,388 --> 00:38:00,148 Speaker 4: The Super Bowl as well at least helped his team 861 00:38:00,188 --> 00:38:01,748 Speaker 4: meet in the Super Bowl. Let's go to the table. 862 00:38:03,308 --> 00:38:07,188 Speaker 4: I gotta go to my big oos KB because. 863 00:38:07,188 --> 00:38:09,828 Speaker 8: On this show, KB is the veteran running back and 864 00:38:09,868 --> 00:38:12,588 Speaker 8: I want to first ask my brother KB the difference 865 00:38:12,708 --> 00:38:16,348 Speaker 8: as a running back running a system where you are 866 00:38:16,428 --> 00:38:19,508 Speaker 8: in shotgun compared to win you're under center. 867 00:38:19,588 --> 00:38:22,028 Speaker 4: What is that like? What are the different challenges in both? 868 00:38:22,348 --> 00:38:24,148 Speaker 1: Well, the game's changed a lots and sideplay, but some 869 00:38:24,228 --> 00:38:26,428 Speaker 1: things stay the same. I always liked being in the 870 00:38:26,468 --> 00:38:28,548 Speaker 1: shotgun and getting a handoff when I played in college 871 00:38:28,588 --> 00:38:31,068 Speaker 1: for a bunch of reasons. First of all, the defense 872 00:38:31,228 --> 00:38:33,788 Speaker 1: was more expecting pass. If your quarterback was in a shotguns, 873 00:38:33,828 --> 00:38:34,988 Speaker 1: you might catch them off balance. 874 00:38:35,068 --> 00:38:36,948 Speaker 4: But also you get the ball quicker. 875 00:38:37,588 --> 00:38:39,228 Speaker 1: You get the ball quicker, and you get it deeper 876 00:38:39,268 --> 00:38:41,868 Speaker 1: in the backfield if you do some slow developing handoff 877 00:38:41,988 --> 00:38:44,628 Speaker 1: like an outside zone or something. If your offensive line 878 00:38:44,668 --> 00:38:46,948 Speaker 1: isn't great, sometimes before you even get the ball, there's 879 00:38:46,988 --> 00:38:48,868 Speaker 1: penetration and there's not even much you can do. I 880 00:38:48,868 --> 00:38:50,828 Speaker 1: always looked at it as an advantage, and I will 881 00:38:50,828 --> 00:38:53,228 Speaker 1: say this about Walker. You can go back and pull 882 00:38:53,308 --> 00:38:54,788 Speaker 1: up any highlights of him way back. 883 00:38:54,628 --> 00:38:55,268 Speaker 4: In Michigan State. 884 00:38:55,348 --> 00:38:57,068 Speaker 1: He did it all Like they did a lot of 885 00:38:57,148 --> 00:38:59,868 Speaker 1: pistol where he was a shotgun. He was way back 886 00:38:59,948 --> 00:39:03,108 Speaker 1: behind the quarterback. They did conventional shotgun where he's next 887 00:39:03,148 --> 00:39:06,028 Speaker 1: to the quarterback, and yes they did do under center. 888 00:39:06,148 --> 00:39:08,788 Speaker 1: I really I think it's fascinating the dolination that you're 889 00:39:08,828 --> 00:39:12,188 Speaker 1: doing here. Mantime, I also think that Kenneth Walker can and. 890 00:39:12,268 --> 00:39:14,308 Speaker 4: Will do anything they need him to do. 891 00:39:14,668 --> 00:39:16,628 Speaker 1: I think he's a true feature back, which is a 892 00:39:16,668 --> 00:39:17,988 Speaker 1: phrase we don't hear much anymore. 893 00:39:18,228 --> 00:39:19,628 Speaker 4: He's done it all, he will do. 894 00:39:19,708 --> 00:39:22,268 Speaker 1: It all, and I think it's a fantastic breakdown mantime. 895 00:39:22,388 --> 00:39:24,268 Speaker 8: Thank you, Isaac. I got to ask you as a 896 00:39:24,308 --> 00:39:26,748 Speaker 8: former defensive lineman. In the past three of the last 897 00:39:26,908 --> 00:39:28,948 Speaker 8: in the five games and three of the last five games, 898 00:39:28,988 --> 00:39:31,588 Speaker 8: the Rams defense have given up one hundred and seventeen 899 00:39:31,668 --> 00:39:33,908 Speaker 8: yards one hundred and seventy one yards rushing, two hundred 900 00:39:33,908 --> 00:39:35,188 Speaker 8: and nineteen yards rushing. 901 00:39:34,988 --> 00:39:37,268 Speaker 4: And one hundred and sixty yards rushing. Yeah. 902 00:39:37,548 --> 00:39:40,868 Speaker 8: What do the Rams rush defense have to do against 903 00:39:40,948 --> 00:39:43,468 Speaker 8: a rushing attack like the Seattle Seahawks. You know before 904 00:39:43,508 --> 00:39:44,708 Speaker 8: you meet someone like Kenneth Walker. 905 00:39:44,988 --> 00:39:47,508 Speaker 7: I think the biggest thing is it's a point of emphasis. 906 00:39:47,588 --> 00:39:49,668 Speaker 7: I mean, they have the pieces in place, like Shee 907 00:39:49,828 --> 00:39:51,188 Speaker 7: was a great defensive coordinator. 908 00:39:51,228 --> 00:39:52,148 Speaker 4: You don't have to worry about that. 909 00:39:52,268 --> 00:39:55,388 Speaker 7: I think sometimes it's as old coaches say, what you 910 00:39:55,508 --> 00:39:58,028 Speaker 7: emphasize is what I don't know the phrase exactly. 911 00:39:58,108 --> 00:39:59,668 Speaker 4: Maybe you guys know, get you. 912 00:40:00,228 --> 00:40:01,268 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's practice what you preach. 913 00:40:01,308 --> 00:40:02,188 Speaker 4: You get the point. 914 00:40:02,228 --> 00:40:04,188 Speaker 7: I think it just really needs to be a point 915 00:40:04,188 --> 00:40:06,348 Speaker 7: of emphasis. I think this is packed your hard hat. 916 00:40:06,428 --> 00:40:08,908 Speaker 7: We're stopping the run and we're gonna affect Sam Donald. 917 00:40:08,908 --> 00:40:11,108 Speaker 7: I'm a d lineman, so that's what I'm used to hearing. 918 00:40:11,548 --> 00:40:15,028 Speaker 7: Stop the run and affect Sam Donald. I mean, nothing 919 00:40:15,068 --> 00:40:17,828 Speaker 7: else matters, and you got to go to Seattle. They 920 00:40:17,908 --> 00:40:19,908 Speaker 7: always say when you play on the road in the playoffs, 921 00:40:19,948 --> 00:40:21,828 Speaker 7: you got to pack your special teams and your defense. 922 00:40:21,948 --> 00:40:23,628 Speaker 7: You can't be giving up one hundred and fifty plus 923 00:40:23,748 --> 00:40:24,268 Speaker 7: rushing yard. 924 00:40:24,308 --> 00:40:25,548 Speaker 4: So that's it. They got to stop that. 925 00:40:25,788 --> 00:40:27,508 Speaker 2: I don't know people had such beef for the George 926 00:40:27,588 --> 00:40:29,828 Speaker 2: Coloney Batman to be honest, like, you know how you 927 00:40:29,908 --> 00:40:33,268 Speaker 2: have to tread lightly when you approach the Batman franchise 928 00:40:33,388 --> 00:40:35,508 Speaker 2: with Manti, like he's got takes when it comes to 929 00:40:35,588 --> 00:40:37,628 Speaker 2: the Dark Knight. All right, right, maybe, But the fact 930 00:40:37,668 --> 00:40:40,188 Speaker 2: that you are saying that this run game, this version 931 00:40:40,308 --> 00:40:42,668 Speaker 2: of it with Kenneth Walker the third can match the 932 00:40:42,748 --> 00:40:45,748 Speaker 2: Heath Ledger energy Manti, then I know you're really onto something. 933 00:40:45,988 --> 00:40:48,308 Speaker 8: We're really onto something, and Kenneth Walker is onto something. 934 00:40:48,348 --> 00:40:50,588 Speaker 8: If he can be onto something, guys, what look out 935 00:40:50,628 --> 00:40:53,228 Speaker 8: for what's going on over there in the Pacific Northwest 936 00:40:53,268 --> 00:40:56,068 Speaker 8: with the Seattle Seahawks has because if he's able to run, 937 00:40:56,548 --> 00:40:59,068 Speaker 8: Sam Donald can be very very comfortable and then with 938 00:40:59,268 --> 00:41:02,948 Speaker 8: that defense, with our powers combined, great things could happen. 939 00:41:03,028 --> 00:41:03,988 Speaker 4: That was major, guys, And. 940 00:41:03,988 --> 00:41:06,428 Speaker 8: You are Joe Kenneth Walker, I expect to have a 941 00:41:06,508 --> 00:41:08,108 Speaker 8: major part in this game on Sunday. 942 00:41:08,428 --> 00:41:10,268 Speaker 3: Did you just say five bucks for sad Nipples suit 943 00:41:10,308 --> 00:41:10,868 Speaker 3: on GMFB? 944 00:41:11,308 --> 00:41:12,188 Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess. 945 00:41:14,988 --> 00:41:17,908 Speaker 2: It's a bittersweet show for GMFB. There's just three games 946 00:41:17,988 --> 00:41:20,228 Speaker 2: left for us to talk about. We feel very emotionally 947 00:41:20,348 --> 00:41:23,188 Speaker 2: invested in these final four teams, and then there will just. 948 00:41:23,268 --> 00:41:25,868 Speaker 3: Be two come Monday morning. Kyle, I will start with you. 949 00:41:26,308 --> 00:41:29,388 Speaker 2: Biggest headline you think we will be talking about come Monday. 950 00:41:29,148 --> 00:41:33,428 Speaker 1: Morning, Oh, Nate Burlessen suit on the CBS pregame show. 951 00:41:36,308 --> 00:41:38,388 Speaker 1: I think it's going to be, oh my gosh, this 952 00:41:38,588 --> 00:41:40,948 Speaker 1: is really happening. And Sam Donald is starting the Super 953 00:41:40,988 --> 00:41:43,868 Speaker 1: Bowl and I celebrate it and I triumphed it, and 954 00:41:43,948 --> 00:41:46,028 Speaker 1: I think the Seahawks defense is fantastic, and so I 955 00:41:46,108 --> 00:41:47,468 Speaker 1: think is the story of Sam Donald. 956 00:41:48,268 --> 00:41:49,308 Speaker 4: I think it's going to be defense. 957 00:41:49,308 --> 00:41:51,748 Speaker 8: When's championships, the best defense is going to win, whether 958 00:41:51,748 --> 00:41:53,948 Speaker 8: it be the Seattle Seahawks or you've got the defense 959 00:41:54,028 --> 00:41:57,308 Speaker 8: of the New England Patriots. And if the Broncos are 960 00:41:57,348 --> 00:41:59,468 Speaker 8: able to do what they need to do with Stitty, 961 00:41:59,588 --> 00:42:00,988 Speaker 8: is going to come off of that defense. So I 962 00:42:01,068 --> 00:42:03,908 Speaker 8: think overall, the come denominator is going to be defense 963 00:42:03,988 --> 00:42:04,908 Speaker 8: and habit. 964 00:42:05,188 --> 00:42:08,228 Speaker 4: I love it is stitty, just the official nickname.

I think he has a great game that 970 00:42:18,228 --> 00:42:21,108 Speaker 7: we actually, you know, see him take over and do 971 00:42:21,228 --> 00:42:23,348 Speaker 7: his thing and then you know, I don't know. I'm 972 00:42:24,148 --> 00:42:27,068 Speaker 7: all in on Sam darnod to top five if he 973 00:42:27,148 --> 00:42:28,068 Speaker 7: wins Super. 974 00:42:27,988 --> 00:42:30,388 Speaker 4: Another show the top five guy.

There's only four left, come 976 00:42:33,028 --> 00:42:33,508 Speaker 4: on whatever. 977 00:42:33,708 --> 00:42:35,868 Speaker 2: We all picked the Seahawks and then we were split 978 00:42:35,948 --> 00:42:37,588 Speaker 2: decision on the AFC title game. 979 00:42:37,668 --> 00:42:39,828 Speaker 3: But mine would be that man cold, and that man 980 00:42:39,948 --> 00:42:40,628 Speaker 3: is Sean Payton. 981 00:42:41,028 --> 00:42:43,508 Speaker 2: I think he's going to do some nasty things, not 982 00:42:43,628 --> 00:42:45,748 Speaker 2: only with this defense that he has, but with Jared 983 00:42:45,788 --> 00:42:48,708 Speaker 2: sid I'm an incredible story.
