1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:04,200 Speaker 1: And now move the sticks the a f C and 2 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: NFC Championship with Daniel Jeremiah, Bucky Brooks and Rett Lewis. 3 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 1: What's up, everybody? Welcome to move the sticks, presented by 4 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,600 Speaker 1: Castro Ledge, DJ, Bucky Rett back with you. We know 5 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 1: who's in the super Bowl. But Buck, we've got a 6 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 1: lot to unpack here on what we saw yesterday in 7 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 1: the conference championship games. Unbelievable of set of games, we think. 8 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 1: I think we saw the four best teams and we 9 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: got a chance to see them play at their best. 10 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: And really it came down to a handful of plays 11 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 1: to determine which teams advanced to the Super Bowl and 12 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 1: which teams are left on the outside looking in. But 13 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,839 Speaker 1: a great weekend of football, handful of plays, bucking a 14 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: handful of situations where contrasting styles at head coach were 15 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: on display. And I know we're gonna dig into that here, 16 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: I believe, starting with your first takeaway here. Yeah, I 17 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: think you're gonna see a theme here with these first 18 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 1: two takeaways. But we'll start with the first one here, 19 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: and that is the Bucks aggressive play was rewarded four 20 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: net the running back eight seconds seven seconds Brady to 21 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 1: throw Those are deep passed outfield Scotty Miller in the 22 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:15,199 Speaker 1: open banks, the catch touched up, tap bay Scotty Scooter Miller, 23 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: and Brady puts it right on the spot. Bucks score 24 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: with no time left are very little in the first half. Yeah, 25 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,839 Speaker 1: to me, this game really came down to two plays, guys. 26 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: When you look at that play, that touchdown to Scotty 27 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: Miller right before the half, where Tampa was ultra aggressive. 28 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: M to be able to take a shot down there, 29 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 1: not trying to put yourself in the field goal range, 30 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: but to anticipate a look you might get, and you 31 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: get the matchup you want with Scotty Miller on King 32 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: and and you can't run with him, so he just 33 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: runs right by him. Brady puts it on the money. 34 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: And it was that attacking you know, the old Bruce Arians, 35 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: the no risk, no biscuit play. Aggressive in those big games, 36 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: conservative plays never rewarded, and you saw that example. And 37 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: then at the end of the game, which you know, 38 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: I think we got to talk about, is the fact 39 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: that they took the ball out of Aaron Rode your 40 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: hands uh inside the ten yard line fourth down instead 41 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: of giving him an opportunity to try and get a 42 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 1: touchdown and get the two point conversion and and have 43 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: the game be decided by your best player and the 44 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: best player in the NFL. You took it out of 45 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: his hands. You kicked the field goal, and now you're 46 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: asking your defense to try and keep Tom Brady from 47 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: getting a couple of first downs. I just, I absolutely 48 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: hated that decision. You know, DJ is funny because you 49 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: talked about the aggressive play and no risk and no biscuit, 50 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: and I think that applies to the way that tam 51 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers playing in general, on offense, defense and special teams. 52 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: You talked about the offensive play, tom Brady really taking 53 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: a shot at the end of the first half to 54 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 1: maybe see if they could put a cheap seven points 55 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: on the board, and it worked. Now, I would say 56 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: that Kevin King has to know better. Situation awareness tells 57 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: you that at that point in the the half, you 58 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: don't want to let the ball flower over head, give 59 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: them five yards, let them kick a field goal, but 60 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: you can't allow Scotty Miller to run past you and 61 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,679 Speaker 1: to give up seven points. And so yes, Bruce Arias 62 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: was rewarded for his approach. And I think when you 63 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: look at the way Todd Bowles came after Aaron Rodgers, 64 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: not necessarily with all pressure, but the way they hugged up, 65 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: manned up, played two man and played very aggressible all 66 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: the underneath things. I think it plays to your strategy 67 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,679 Speaker 1: of no risk it, no riskuld be aggressive. Yeah, that 68 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: fits right in right. I mean the the offensive strategy 69 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 1: they're late for the for the box at the end 70 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 1: of the first half, I mean kind of matches with 71 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,399 Speaker 1: their defensive philosophy all year long, and Todd Bowls's philosophy 72 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: as a head coach would just be aggressive, get after 73 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: the quarterback. And they did. Those five sacks I mean 74 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: Shack Barrett with three and Pierre Paul with two, I 75 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: mean those helped save the game in the second half. 76 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: For the box, I mean you go back to the 77 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: second interception that Brady through and it was a sack 78 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: um that helped end in force a three and out 79 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: for the Green Bay Packers. Then in the third interception, 80 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: another sack and a couple of incompletions helped force another 81 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: third and out. So they saved the offenses. Bacon and 82 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: Brady's bacon on those last two interceptions with some pressure 83 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: and with some timely plays on defense, um and and 84 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: just rising to the occasion when they needed it. You know. 85 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: The other thing I thought was really interesting just to 86 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: kind of celebrate Brady here a little bit forty three 87 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: years old before the season started. He's now making his 88 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: tenth Super Bowl appearance after playing in his fourteenth conference 89 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,799 Speaker 1: championship game. He's got more playoff wins than all three 90 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: of the Packers Super Bowl quarterbacks in their history combined, 91 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: Bart Star, Brett Favan, Aaron Rodgers. But still do you 92 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: remember I don't know if you guys watched Game day 93 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 1: morning on Sunday, but Steve Maryuchi did an interview with 94 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 1: Bruce Arians and asked Bruce if Tom the Goat, the 95 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: greatest player to ever play in the history of the 96 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: National Football League, is still coachable. He said, yeah, you 97 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: better believe he's still coach. But he wants to get 98 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: better every single day. He's asking me every single rep 99 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: you know what you see here? What you do? But 100 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 1: I thought it was kind of cool and and that 101 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 1: he mentioned that every day every practice, Brady and quarterbacks 102 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: coach Clyde Christians and go through what they call that 103 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: they go to the driving range and they spend twenty 104 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: minutes on fundamentals alone, and I'm just thinking, like, if 105 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: this is the best player in the history of the 106 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: NFL with that level of attention to detail at that 107 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:27,479 Speaker 1: advanced stage in his career, man, that's that's a lesson 108 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: to be learned there for a lot of kids out there, 109 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: no doubt. And I want to give you a couple 110 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,799 Speaker 1: of stats here, Buck, and then you can get yourself 111 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: to your next takeaway. But I want to see what 112 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: you think about this. Bucks. Start out seven and five. 113 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: There's seven and oh since then, And if you look 114 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 1: at the numbers during that period of time, when's most 115 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: obviously points most uh the sack margin plus ten UH 116 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: since then with with Pierre Paul and Shaq Barrett's five 117 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 1: sacks yesterday added to that total UH points off turnover 118 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: margin plus forty two UM. You go down here, takeaways 119 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: per game. They've had twelve takeaways in seven games. Only 120 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:09,239 Speaker 1: Washington of the playoff teams was better their field goals 121 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: fourteen had a fifteen. I mean literally, over the last 122 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: seven weeks here they're playing better than anybody, and that 123 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: includes a team they're actually gonna play here in the 124 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. Yeah, DJ, it's it's it's phenomenal 125 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: the way that they steadily improved and read. I think 126 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: what you bring out in terms of talking about Tom 127 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 1: Brady going to the driving range, the fact that he 128 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: spends twenty minutes working on his footwork and fundamentals with 129 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: the coach each day. I think that then rubs off 130 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: on all the other players because it's the greatest of 131 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: all time can go and is coachable and is willing 132 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: to spend the extra time working on his game. Who 133 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 1: am I to not put the extra time in? And 134 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: then what you do is you create a culture where 135 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:58,479 Speaker 1: you have everybody doing extra get right, and then you 136 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: get the extraordinary results. And so that's what Tom Brady 137 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: has brought because look, the last two weeks in the postseason, 138 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: he hasn't played at an a level, but his presence 139 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: and what he has done to really kind of raise 140 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: the standard in Tampa, I think that matters a lot 141 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: more than his performance on the field, particularly in the postseason. 142 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: Buck I want to get I want to get this 143 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: quote here because I want to make sure I get 144 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: it right, because we actually had this up in our 145 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: in our draft room um in Baltimore, and it was 146 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: Tony LaRussa. Do you remember that one when it's I'm 147 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: trying to find the best one here? It says you 148 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: when when your best player is your best worker with 149 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: the best character, you've really got something special. Now I'm 150 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: kind of paraphrasing there because I can't find the exact quote. 151 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: We had it up in our in our draft room 152 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: and it was like, man, when you're you have that, 153 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: and we've all been around guys like that. I mean, 154 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: ray Lewis was the same way, just in terms of 155 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: the work that he put in. It was like, man, 156 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: if that guy's doing it as good as he is, 157 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: then what the heck am I what's my excuse if 158 00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: I'm not going to put in that type of work? 159 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: And it did. One guy changed the entire culture, the 160 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: whole team. And that's not to say, you know, that's 161 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: not to say guys that there aren't other quarterbacks out 162 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: there that are putting that time in with that fundamentals, 163 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: but it means something different. It plays differently when you're 164 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: talking about a guy who has one as much as 165 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: he has. I mean, like, I don't he I don't 166 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: think at this point he's he's a sending player, you know, 167 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: what I mean, if anything, he's descending, but still to 168 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: continue to fire through that routine and grind through it. Um. 169 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 1: I think in that case, belief for the Buccaneers in 170 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 1: Tom Brady and creating a culture of belief was a 171 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: tangible thing. We talked about it being one of those 172 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: intangibles a lot with leadership at the quarterback spot. But 173 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: I feel like what he brought to that organization and 174 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,079 Speaker 1: that franchise was a belief in it. And I feel 175 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: like this postseason, in this year, it's been a tangible 176 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: thing in wins and losses. Red. What you're alluding to 177 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 1: is what we call a thermostat leader. I mean, when 178 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 1: they walk in the room, the temperature rises because of 179 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 1: how they're able to change it with their presence. That's 180 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: what Tom Brady was able to do. And so I'm 181 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: gonna get us to the Packers and DJ you pointed, 182 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 1: you kind of pointed it out, but I'm gonna say this, 183 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: scared money don't make nothing. And when you and when 184 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: you think about the Packers and you think about everything 185 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: that went on, they had the number one seed, They've 186 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: done all these things. They're playing at a remarkable level. 187 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: Manvil Flu has been one of the more successful coaches 188 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: as a young coach in the National Football League and 189 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 1: on this big stage where everything is on you and 190 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: when coaching really matters, he let them down because he 191 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: didn't trust his best player to go make a play. 192 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: And I think the thing that we will see throughout 193 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: the postseason, particularly in the championship games, the coaches that 194 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: advance are the ones that put their best players in 195 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 1: situations to go get it. They handed the ball and 196 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 1: they say go win it. Because it's still a stars league. 197 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: The team with the stars and the star the play 198 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: at the highest level, they win. And what Matt Lafleur 199 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: did is he didn't trust his star player and m 200 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 1: v P winner that we think is going to win, 201 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 1: to presume winner, he didn't trust him to go make 202 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: a play when the game was on the line. And 203 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: I think that is damning and that's why the Green 204 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: Bay Packers weren't rewarded. Yeah, I think that's a that's 205 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: an interesting point, and um, I'll kind of dig into 206 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: not necessarily the decision, because I mean, I think that's 207 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,839 Speaker 1: obviously one of the big turning points here, but but 208 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: what they did in those situations so to set the 209 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: stage for you. We talked about I talked about this 210 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 1: on a on a couple of our prior episodes. Davante 211 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: Adams in last week on the Aftermath DJ. You remember this, 212 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: Davanta Adams was like the best, one of the best, 213 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: if not the best, goal line threats in football this year. 214 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: He caught nine touchdowns from inside the five this year. 215 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 1: He had fifteen red zone touchdowns in the league this year, 216 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: most by far any receiver. So, you know, like they 217 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 1: had these opportunities. They had four goal to goost situations 218 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: in this game, and they only came away with touchdowns 219 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 1: on half of them. One of them they md up 220 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 1: kicking a field goal from the six from the Tampa 221 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: Bay six. That was the first half. And then obviously 222 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 1: the one we're talking about now, um was the second half. 223 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: You know, just north of the two minute warning, they 224 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: got the way down to the eight, fourth and goal 225 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 1: from the eight and they decided to kick the field goal. 226 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: So Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams were virtually unstoppable in 227 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 1: these situations, in those type of situations all season long. 228 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: And I'm wondering, if you know, in the situations that 229 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: they had with this scenario, in a goal to goost 230 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 1: situation they had. They targeted Davante Adams six times in 231 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: this game. He caught one of them and it was 232 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: the touchdown when they got him singled up and it 233 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: was you know, he was no match. Carlton Davis was 234 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: no match for him. But I'm wondering if some of 235 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,319 Speaker 1: the issues they had down in tighten the red zone 236 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 1: played in the matt with we're thinking to kick the 237 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 1: field goal there. He's like, gosh, man, we've you know, 238 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: we've been incomplete five different times looking for Davante in 239 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: these situations, including a couple of times on this same drive. 240 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 1: You know, maybe I just I don't like my chance. 241 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: It's at that point to get into the end zone, 242 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: so I'm gonna, you know, I'm gonna try to take it. 243 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's the right call, but I'm wondering 244 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 1: if that is something that played into his thinking. Yeah, 245 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: I mean what you say, you only had one? I 246 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: mean one, he just flat up dropped on a back 247 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: shoulder fade where probably had four yards of separation on 248 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 1: the throw. So I don't know if I wake up 249 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 1: and I know that the day before Aaron Rodgers didn't 250 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: complete a pass on fourth and eighth and Davante Adams 251 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: and I lost my breakfast. I had my breakfast that 252 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: I'm you know, it is what it is. I'm feeling 253 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 1: great this morning with the way that went down. Buck No, 254 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: and I'm not. And I'm gonna say this because like man, 255 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: the floor is going to get crushed. He's been crushed 256 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: and I know, um, we kind of romanticized the and 257 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 1: I just think here's where I say it actually went 258 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 1: wayward for the Green Bay Packers and Matt la Fleur. 259 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: The reason why the Green Bay Packers they've really been 260 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,199 Speaker 1: very successful on offense is because they have what they've 261 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: fallen into. The trap that the Packers have been fallen 262 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 1: into the bast ten years. They've been balanced, they've been 263 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: running the football, and because they were able to run 264 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: the football, they were able to dictate certain looks in fronts. 265 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers lived in two man coverage against 266 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,199 Speaker 1: the Packers in the championship game. They didn't drop another 267 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 1: safety down. They weren't threatened by the running game. And 268 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: because they were never threatened by the running game, Tie 269 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,839 Speaker 1: Bowls never had to change his tactics. And then when 270 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: we talk about the red zone, not saying that you 271 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: have to run the ball a ton down in the 272 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: red zone, but to throw it over and over and 273 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: over again into the end zone against coverage. It made 274 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: it very easy for tie bowls to dial up a 275 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,839 Speaker 1: defense in those critical situations. And so I think when 276 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: Matt la Fleu looks at the call sheet and he 277 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: goes back, he probably says, we probably don't need to 278 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 1: throw a fifty plus time is because our tackles aren't 279 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 1: good enough to protect in those situations. We need to 280 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: run it more because much like the Rams and those 281 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: other teams, they're built to play a certain way, and 282 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: even though your quarterback is one of the best to 283 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: ever play it, you can't put that much on him 284 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: to care of you for four quarters. Yeah. I agree. 285 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: Let's let's put a bowl on this whole game and 286 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: this whole discussion here because I do want to have 287 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: a little public service announcement as we wrap this up. Um, 288 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: please do not send your resumes to produce the Move 289 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: the Sticks podcast. I know a lot of you assume, 290 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,239 Speaker 1: based off yesterday, that the Bill would be in a depression. 291 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: He would be back in Wisconsin, you know, in a basement. 292 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: Um not shaved for for maybe a couple of years. 293 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: But it sounds as if no Bill is going to 294 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: stay on board. Um, he's gonna he's gonna suck it 295 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: up a little bit. He's gonna take off those packer pajamas, 296 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: put on his his jeans, and put that that hair 297 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: gel in, and we're gonna live and we're gonna survive. So, uh, 298 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: we just wanted to give you guys heads up there. 299 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 1: We did not currently have an opening as a producer 300 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 1: for the Move the Sticks podcast. I just want to 301 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: put that out there. All right, Let's keep it going 302 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: here with the third takeaway, and again, only five takeaways 303 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: today because we we'll have two games, so we're gonna 304 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: have five takeaways. The fourth one you're gonna want to 305 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: stick around for because that's gonna really be special here 306 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: when Rett joins the party. But let me get to 307 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: number three here, that's the Kansas City Chiefs and they're 308 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: no longer board. Gonna throw a slant thirty five yard 309 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 1: line choot move Terry kill forty five fifty yard line 310 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: touch it back, lookout for thirty five thirty cheetah hit 311 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: full speed ten to five yard line dude, play impress 312 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: that cheetah will run you all the way around the earth. 313 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: It's a seventy one yard pass play to the cheetah 314 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: on a quick slant. Mitch mitch Hold is getting after 315 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: it on that call right there. He's got a lot 316 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: of experience calling big plays though, since Patrick Mahome showed 317 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: up with Tyree Kill and with Kelsey and what they've 318 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: been able to do. But I feel like we've been 319 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: we've been discussing this for a while with this Chief's team, 320 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: that they just I mean, it's crazy they can almost 321 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: go through the motions and and win as many games 322 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: as they did. I mean, it's it's insane what what 323 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: they've been able to accomplish when they don't even look 324 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: like they're interested. Um, even in this game they're down 325 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: nine nothing, and it's like, there's no you're watching the 326 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: game going now, this is not it's not gonna matter. 327 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: I mean that they're gonna close this thing right back up. 328 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: And it just happened in an instant and they just 329 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 1: take off and go and you know, Red, I'll get 330 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: to you on this one. I just haven't seen so 331 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: much of this Chief's team over the last couple of years. 332 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: If you can't get home with your four, if you 333 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: don't have a dominant front four, you have less than 334 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: no chance against this team. Yeah, and I think, uh, 335 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 1: I think we we kind of we've seen that with 336 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: the Bills, that Jerry Hughes has provided some pass us 337 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: to the Bills. You know on many occasions. It didn't 338 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 1: seem to happen tonight, and like, let's think about it 339 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: or last night, rather think about the fact that there 340 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: they were playing without Mitchell Schwartz. Um. You know, Eric 341 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 1: Fisher goes down late in this game, but they you know, 342 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: variety of backups along that Chief's offensive line, and still 343 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: the Bills weren't able to generate that pressure. But you know, 344 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 1: this game essentially was Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelsey outside 345 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: of Mahomes are better than any strategy you have in 346 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 1: any player you have defensively, Like That's that's ultimately what 347 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,879 Speaker 1: it comes down to, right in a game of matchups, 348 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: like you had no one that can match up with 349 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,640 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill. I'm not seeing that many people do. That's 350 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,679 Speaker 1: not an indictment on the Bills, um. And you don't 351 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 1: have anyone that can match up with Travis Kelsey and 352 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: like they both went off in this game, you know, 353 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: for once, you know, I feel like we see Patrick 354 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:42,959 Speaker 1: Mahomes spread the ball out, you know, like quite a bit. 355 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,399 Speaker 1: We get the running backs involved a little bit. Um, 356 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 1: you know, we get the Pringles of the world, the 357 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: Robinson's of the world. Hartman, you know, had the touchdown, 358 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 1: but that was such a quick pass it almost it 359 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 1: almost didn't even really count. But I mean like he 360 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 1: was targeting Tyreek Hill and targeting Travis Kelsey relentlessly in 361 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 1: this game. And you know, was the other mismatch one 362 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 1: of the Bills. Caldn't get home too. They have no 363 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: cover for those guys, and it's a recipe for disaster. Um. 364 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 1: And like I'm wondering now when you look at these 365 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,679 Speaker 1: two head coaches that we're gonna have, you know, go 366 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 1: toe to toe in this Super Bowl, and two of 367 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: the most aggressive coaches both in style and in play 368 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,880 Speaker 1: calling in the entire league. And does that say something 369 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:26,120 Speaker 1: about philosophy? Read I actually think it does. I think 370 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: it does say a lot about philosophy. And here's what 371 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say about Andy Reid. Andy Reid to me 372 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,879 Speaker 1: is masterful and I think He's figured it out in 373 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: a couple of different ways. This game is about players 374 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,919 Speaker 1: and plays and what I mean that I mean it 375 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 1: is about getting your best players to be the primary 376 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 1: weapons on your main place so they get the ball 377 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,639 Speaker 1: more than you can defend it. And he makes it very, 378 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 1: very simple. This game is about fifteen, ten and seven. 379 00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 1: That's it. The other pieces are complimentary pieces. And when 380 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,479 Speaker 1: I throw this analogy out that the Kansas City Chiefs 381 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: are really the Golden State Warriors, I really believe it 382 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: because to me, when I look at them, Patrick Mahomes 383 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,640 Speaker 1: is Steph Curry, a talented player with outstanding skills. He 384 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: has Tyreek Hill who's just running around hitting shots like 385 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: he's Kevin Durant. And then Travis Kelsey is sitting in 386 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 1: the corner like Clay Thompson. And I mean, if you 387 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: want to say Draymond Green or whatever, like maybe Chris 388 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,400 Speaker 1: Jones is Raymond Green. But this team, when they're bored, 389 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,199 Speaker 1: it is like, Okay, that's cute. The Buffalo Bills are 390 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 1: up nine. Oh, let's just hit a couple of threes 391 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: and we're right back and let's go on a thirty 392 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 1: eight old run or whatever it is that they do. 393 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 1: They are just a remarkable team. And I don't know, man, 394 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 1: Like I know, we talked about this dynasty, but I 395 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 1: think for the first time in a long time, I'm 396 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 1: actually believing they are a dynasty. They're going to be 397 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 1: in this conversation for a long time as long as 398 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 1: they have those guys in any read. Yeah, you talk 399 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,160 Speaker 1: about prioritizing, I think of you know, when you're young 400 00:19:58,280 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 1: and you've got some you've got kids, and you go 401 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 1: out to dinner and you've kind of roughly budgeted, like, man, 402 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 1: we're gonna go nice sense it is a hundred dollar 403 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 1: budget for dinner. And then you're the first kid orders 404 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,400 Speaker 1: and orders a thirty dollar steak, and the next kid 405 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: orders some shrimper and that costs. And I'm sitting You're 406 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: going like, I have a salad and uh and a 407 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: water police. Like literally, you make sure that Tyreek gets 408 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,640 Speaker 1: his steak, You make sure that that Kelsey gets his fish, 409 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: and then the rest of you guys, it's the super 410 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 1: salad type of a dinner here. That's what we're facing 411 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 1: for sure. But but but but but really it is 412 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 1: and I'll throw this out to both of you guys. 413 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 1: Think about all the teams in the National Football League, 414 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 1: they have star players, right and think about we're just 415 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 1: talking about Davante Adams and the Green Bay Packers and 416 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: the fact that DeVante Adams had six targets. How many 417 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: targets do you think he would have had if Andy 418 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 1: Reid wasn't in charge of that team in that offense, 419 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: he would make sure that DeVante Adams he is leaving 420 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: with no less than ten targets and we probably would 421 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: have seen him get the ball at least fifteen times 422 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: thrown in his direction. It is not really hard, but 423 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: Andy Reid has figured it out. I'm going to get 424 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 1: it to my best players, and over time, my best 425 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,199 Speaker 1: players are better than yours and they're going to make 426 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: more plays. We talked about that with Odell Beckham with 427 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 1: the Browns. We've talked about it when he was with 428 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,639 Speaker 1: the Giants. We talked about his se Quon Barkley with 429 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: the Giants, like, how do you get you you know, 430 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 1: your best players the ball consistently. Andy Reid hasn't figured 431 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 1: out should I get us to the fourth and final game? Takeaway, 432 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: Well I don't. I don't really have Just pretend I'm 433 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,439 Speaker 1: doing a drum over here right now, we can we 434 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 1: can go all right here we go. Field goals don't 435 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,879 Speaker 1: actually beat the Chiefs, believe it or not, it does. 436 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: Wait wait, hold on, hold on, hold on right down 437 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: that we waited minutes. The stist answer is the right answer. 438 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,199 Speaker 1: We bat you and clean up, and you're choking and 439 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: poking trying to just hit a flare to right field. 440 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: I mean, what in the world And I'm still you know, 441 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: because that's that's essentially what happens here. So let me 442 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 1: just run through this scenario. Okay, so just stick with 443 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,360 Speaker 1: me here. First drive of the game, you get down 444 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: to the Chief's thirty three yard line, okay, you're well 445 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: into Chief's territory. You got a second and a third 446 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: and three, and you fall incomplete on both of those 447 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 1: two passes. Two chances to get three yards. Okay, you 448 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,679 Speaker 1: don't get it done. Would you have considered going for 449 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: it on fourth and three? There? You got a kicker 450 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 1: and against this team, you better believe it. Better believe 451 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 1: it now you get a kicker and kick a fifty 452 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 1: one yard is the first drive of the game, that 453 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,640 Speaker 1: one like, you know, okay, but you have a chance 454 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 1: to set a tone there too, right set a tone like, hey, 455 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,159 Speaker 1: we're gonna go. We're all in, Like what does what 456 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: does coming up second place in the NFC Championship game 457 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:56,199 Speaker 1: actually get us moving for absolutely nothing? I get it, 458 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: I get it. They end up you know, they get 459 00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,439 Speaker 1: the field goal there on the board, three nothing, get 460 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 1: the hard and will you go up nine nothing? Great? 461 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,439 Speaker 1: You're like, here, you all right, you've capitalized on on 462 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,640 Speaker 1: a mistake by the Chiefs. You're up nine nothing. Then 463 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 1: you watch the chief score three straight touchdowns in the 464 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,639 Speaker 1: second quarter on three straight possessions in the like a 465 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: literal blink of an eye, and now they're up twenty 466 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: one and nine. So you're like, okay, if we were 467 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,679 Speaker 1: thinking that like field goals, you know, you know, we 468 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 1: were gonna play this thing conservatively trusted. That's out the 469 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 1: window at this point, right, it's twenty one and they've 470 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: scored up three straight possessions. But you answer with a 471 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 1: terrific drive. You got twelve place seventy three yards and 472 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 1: you've got a third and four from the from the four, 473 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: you get two yards, You've now got a fourth and 474 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 1: goal from the two. You're going field goal again. Its teeth, 475 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 1: You're going field goal like every time. Every time I'm 476 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 1: sitting and I'm like, in which scenario, in what scenario 477 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: in this game that you could possibly think of, do 478 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:03,679 Speaker 1: you have more confidence in your defense against Patrick Mahomes 479 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,160 Speaker 1: then you do in Josh Allen against the chief defense. 480 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 1: I can't come up with one. I can't come up 481 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: in this scenario. And look, I get it from a 482 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 1: game management perspective, and you're trying to stay in the game. 483 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: You hope maybe another couple of mistakes. Man, But like 484 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: you know, wish in one hand, do the other thing 485 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,199 Speaker 1: in the other and see what goes up first, you 486 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,919 Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like it's it's it's one of 487 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 1: those things. But like so it comes down and it 488 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,679 Speaker 1: happens again in the second half. Right, the Chiefs got 489 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,719 Speaker 1: a field goals start the second half. That's great, Like 490 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 1: you know, you don't you keep them off the board 491 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,439 Speaker 1: from scoring six and again you put another terrific drive together. 492 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: You get down ten place, sixty seven yards down to 493 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: the Kansas City eight. You got a second and four, 494 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,440 Speaker 1: You get a yard, third and three incomplete, so you 495 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: get a fourth and three from the eight. You still 496 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 1: have an opportunity to get a first down. It's not 497 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 1: even a goal to go in another field goal, and 498 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,199 Speaker 1: at that point, like you know, it felt like it 499 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: was over, you know, and and it wasn't yet. But 500 00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 1: um and listen, let let me just finish it by saying, 501 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 1: I think Sean McDermott is a great coach of these 502 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: did a phenomenal job with the Buffalo Bills. They are 503 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: putting together something special there. And I loved what he 504 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: said after the game that like, we need to focus 505 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 1: this offseason on how to beat the Chiefs. They are right, 506 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: and kicking field goals is game management correction number one 507 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 1: that will not work against this team. Okay, so hold on, 508 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: let me take I'm gonna play Devil's Advocate and Sean 509 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,199 Speaker 1: McDermott because I'm gonna say this reminded me when I 510 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 1: was a kid, I got a chance to see Bone 511 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,920 Speaker 1: Crusher Smith fight Mike Tyson. Bone Christian Smith is from 512 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 1: North Carolina. Bone Christian Smith was on the first guys 513 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: to go twelve rounds with Mighty Mike Tyson, right, and 514 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,679 Speaker 1: the entire fight, he never could threaten Mike Tyson, but 515 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 1: the whole objective was to be able to take him 516 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 1: twelve rounds, and so he did, and he was the 517 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,479 Speaker 1: first one. And so I feel like the Buffalo Bills. 518 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,880 Speaker 1: I think when you're a coach, you're able to look 519 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 1: across the field and you know that that other team 520 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,120 Speaker 1: has more talent and more explosiveness than you do. And 521 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 1: the only thing that Sean McDermott could really hope was 522 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,120 Speaker 1: let's see if I can keep this close enough where 523 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 1: somehow they unravel and they give us a chance. Because 524 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 1: as much as we talk about the Buffalo Bills being 525 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: aggressive and the like, the one thing that would have 526 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,399 Speaker 1: happened if they go down and they don't score, do 527 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: we really believe that Buffalo would have been able to 528 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 1: slow Kansas City down? And I think he was trying 529 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 1: to prevent his team from getting knocked out in the 530 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,679 Speaker 1: first half, as opposed to let's see if we can 531 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,160 Speaker 1: get it to the fourth quarter and find a way 532 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,639 Speaker 1: to win. I don't fall him for the tactic because 533 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 1: I felt like he went to the gunfight with a 534 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: butter knife, and I think he knew that he just 535 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: didn't have enough to deal with the Kansas City Chiefs. 536 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,679 Speaker 1: Hold on one second, let me just ask this one 537 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 1: question because I am not a boxing as expert, but 538 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 1: I did play Mike Tyson's punch out. Um, if you 539 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: get knocked down three times in a round, what do 540 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 1: they call that? Yale? Right, it's a technical market if 541 00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 1: you can't if you try to take three field goals 542 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: against the Cheeks, you aren't ttai out. It's over because 543 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 1: they're scoring. One of the point. I'm just sitting there 544 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:08,920 Speaker 1: here in the world close and thinking of the old 545 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,159 Speaker 1: horse shoes and handgarnades, like that's that's great. You know, no, 546 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 1: thanks closer to me, and I sit there, I sit there, 547 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,159 Speaker 1: and I think, you know, I know. Doug Peterson came 548 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: under a lot of criticism for what happened at the 549 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 1: end of the season and how he handled that game. 550 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 1: But let's go back to him on a big stage 551 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: against a team that had what six hundred yards of 552 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 1: offense without doing the Patriots team, and they're out there 553 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 1: running Philly Special, going for it on all these four downs, 554 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: Like that's how you play those games. It's been proven 555 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 1: over and over and over again being aggressive is often 556 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: rewarded and and being conservative never is. It just isn't. 557 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 1: It's not how it works. When you get into the postseason, 558 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 1: you have to be aggressive and if it doesn't work. 559 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 1: It doesn't work. But to be able to go home 560 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: on the plane ride and go guys, hey, man, were 561 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 1: kind of close. Yeah that's great, man, we get you 562 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,640 Speaker 1: don't get anything for that. So to me, I'm I'm 563 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,640 Speaker 1: going for it. It doesn't matter you lose, you lose. 564 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,399 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna empty the chamber and see if 565 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 1: I take my shots, and then I'll live with the consequences. 566 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,680 Speaker 1: So I think, yeah, well, I would say I think 567 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: you bring up a point though, like when Red you 568 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 1: brought up Sean McDermot saying their entire focus has to 569 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,120 Speaker 1: be on beating the Chiefs. I think the one thing 570 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: that stood out in the game speed speed speed from 571 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs. I think we talked about Buffalo 572 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,400 Speaker 1: being a great team, and they are a great team, 573 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 1: but the speed of the Chiefs is breathtaking and overwhelming. 574 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,119 Speaker 1: The one thing that Buffalo has to do they have 575 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: to get faster if they want to knock off the 576 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. So they're picking at thirty and I mean, 577 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 1: we're gonna be talking about it all, you know, for 578 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 1: the next three months, and especially you know, this next week, 579 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 1: and when you guys are talking Senior Bowl here, but 580 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 1: I mean, like I'm thinking, and rush your corner and 581 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 1: drush your safety, and like you gotta find a way, 582 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 1: and you're gonna find a way to deal with the 583 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 1: speed of the receivers and you gotta find a way 584 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 1: to get up to the pass room. All right, Yeah, 585 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 1: you're right, um, you know, I mean next week though 586 00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: you're you're moving down the order. I mean, I don't 587 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: know how many takeaways we're gonna do next week. But 588 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 1: I mean I can't bat you four when I get bills. 589 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 1: Are after all these creative taglines all year long, and 590 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 1: that's what I get out of you. And I know 591 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: we put you in the four hold you decide you 592 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 1: want to be eat you row like if you're four, 593 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 1: if you need I need you to be a big bomber. 594 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: I don't need you to be slapt. I mean, I 595 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: mean think the opposite is his takeaway was about being 596 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 1: too conservative, and yet his actual takeaway was too conservatives 597 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 1: supposed to be risky with serve to takeaway, it's like 598 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 1: it's like an oxymoron. I don't know, because there's no 599 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 1: I mean you you you dominate a literation for a 600 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,479 Speaker 1: whole season only to get into the postseason. Supercils are 601 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: the same, um nothing, yeah, oh well, all right, anyways, 602 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 1: a for effort, which is being close to good, which 603 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: you guys Bucky just said is so you know, that's exciting. 604 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 1: That's how you're the runner up in the NFC Championship Game. 605 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: All right, Buck, time for be prepared, presented by Castro Ledge. 606 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 1: We we know the teams. Now, we've got the Super 607 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 1: Bowl matchup in front of us. So as we kind 608 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 1: of recap the games that we just saw, let's look 609 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 1: ahead a little bit here super Bowl. We've got the 610 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Bucks, We've got the Kansas City Chiefs. I 611 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 1: give you the floor to go wherever you want to 612 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 1: go on this one. Well, let's let's talk about the 613 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 1: champs first. Let's talk about the kan City Chiefs. Uh DJ, 614 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 1: I think your words ring true that you've been talking 615 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 1: about the entire season. We saw that when the Kancity 616 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: Chiefs needed to sum it up their superpowers, they took 617 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 1: their game up a notch. They've been bored throughout the 618 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 1: regular season and they just kind of were playing with 619 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 1: teams and toy whin. They kind of remind me of 620 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 1: the cat playing with like the little ball of gone, 621 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 1: it's kind of knocking it around and playing it. And 622 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 1: then when we saw them play the Buffalo Bills, who 623 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 1: many people were saying we're the best team in football, 624 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: we saw them turn their game up a notch. I 625 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 1: think now that they're in the Super Bowl, I think 626 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 1: we will see them at their best, and them at 627 00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 1: their best is really easy. I think play not plays. 628 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 1: The ball is going to Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelsey 629 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 1: and they're going to test your ability to cover them 630 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 1: because they're going to move them all around the chest board. 631 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 1: But the ball is going to number ten and number seven, 632 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 1: and if you can't stop those two guys, you have 633 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 1: no chance of stopping. To Kann City Chiefs, Yeah, I 634 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 1: flip it over to the other side of the ball 635 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 1: and I look at that Chiefs defense and to me, 636 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 1: Chris Jones, who's when he wants to play, he's unblockable inside. 637 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 1: I think this Tampa interior offensive line is very good. 638 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 1: It's a good group where they're gonna be challenged by 639 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 1: Chris Jones up front. And I think you know, when 640 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: you look at some of the matchups there, you look 641 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 1: at Mike Evans, the size, the physicality. You've got Lagerius Snea, 642 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,959 Speaker 1: the young rookie who's man has played light out this year, 643 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 1: who's got some size and length to him. That's gonna 644 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 1: be a fun matchup Vet versus a rookie. And you've 645 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 1: got Tyron Matthew who can kind of be the eraser, right. 646 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 1: You can drop him down if they start running the 647 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 1: ball pretty well, you can deploy him down the box. 648 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 1: Um if you need to bracket people, he can do 649 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 1: that as well. So those are kind of the two 650 00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 1: chess pieces I think for the chiefs in this game defensively, 651 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 1: uh that if you're Bruce Arians and Tom Brady had 652 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 1: better be aware where those two guys are. You know, 653 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 1: I think those guys are really important. They're really important 654 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 1: to the fabric, and then you think about the other 655 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 1: guys that kind of play around it. I will say this, 656 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 1: I love what they have in one Thorn Heal and Matthew, 657 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 1: their ability to just kind of be the yang and 658 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:23,160 Speaker 1: yang in the back end. They give you so many 659 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 1: different looks and their playmakers and Steve Spagnolo has really 660 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 1: a great job of kind of putting him in position 661 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 1: to make plays. I think as Tom Brady's thinking about 662 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 1: all of the stuff that he has to deal with, 663 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 1: Frank Clark and Chris Jones and Snead and all the 664 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 1: guys on the outside. He has to also worry about 665 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 1: the middle of the field because everyone knows to stop 666 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,720 Speaker 1: the Tam Bay Buccaneers, you have to defend the middle 667 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 1: of the field and the kind see achieves a will 668 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 1: position to be able to defend him. All right, think 669 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 1: about this. This is one of my favorite storylines of 670 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 1: this draft. Um Remember Rocky four. Remember Rocky training in 671 00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 1: the mountains. Remember when he gets up at the top 672 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 1: of the mountains and goes drug. This time it's Tom 673 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:10,080 Speaker 1: Brady and he's gone Spagnol. His rematch, Tom gets his 674 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 1: chance to try and have some time. Well, here we go. 675 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 1: You know, I think this is interesting for Tom Brady 676 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 1: because when we really dig into how he played in 677 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: the championship game, he didn't have his best game, and 678 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 1: the connection between he and Mike Evans, he and Chris Godwin, 679 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 1: for whatever reason, it hasn't been as airtight as you 680 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 1: would like to see. And I would give Tom Brady 681 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 1: a ton of credit. He trust his wide receivers in 682 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: this game against Kansas City, those guys are gonna have 683 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 1: to repay the favor. They have to make some big 684 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,280 Speaker 1: time plays for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to get over 685 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 1: the top. Tom Brady is not going to be perfect 686 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 1: as an older quarterback. Those guys are gonna have to 687 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 1: really expand the strike zone make some of these catches 688 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 1: because if they don't, Tom Brady is not going to 689 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,600 Speaker 1: be able to play perfect enough for sixty minutes to 690 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 1: knock off Pat Mahomes in his crew. I'm gonna give 691 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 1: you my X factor for the for the Bucks in 692 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,719 Speaker 1: this game. I actually think it's Ronald Jones to me, 693 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,839 Speaker 1: Ronald Jones, the thing about the Super Bowl, right, you're 694 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,920 Speaker 1: gonna have fresh legs, guys get a chance to rest up, 695 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,360 Speaker 1: so speed plays. To me, when you get fresh legs, 696 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,759 Speaker 1: speed plays. We already talked about Tyreek Kill what he 697 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 1: can do. We know it is to be. But I 698 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 1: think Ronald Jones coming off a little bit of an 699 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 1: injury now get a chance to really rest up and 700 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,840 Speaker 1: get healthy for the Super Bowl. He's somebody that he 701 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 1: can turn five and seven yard runs into fifty and 702 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 1: sixty yard runs. Yeah, I think Road Joe I like 703 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 1: to use them together. Ronald Jones and Leonard for Nett. 704 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,399 Speaker 1: That combination has really emerged in the playoffs, and we've 705 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,320 Speaker 1: seen Letter for Nette be a guy that can really 706 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 1: give him consistency on the ground. That physicality and toughness 707 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 1: is gonna be important because this has to be a 708 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,960 Speaker 1: game where the Tampa Bay Buccaneers play a little more 709 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 1: keep away than they would like to. Instead of going 710 00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,799 Speaker 1: up and down the floor with them, they want to 711 00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 1: walk the ball up, play a little half court basketball. 712 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,439 Speaker 1: Slowed this game down and give Tom Brady a chance 713 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,719 Speaker 1: to win it in the fourth quarter. This has to 714 00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,280 Speaker 1: be one where the running game and the running backs 715 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,319 Speaker 1: play a role, uh in this game plan. Yew. These 716 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 1: teams met in week twelve. I'm looking forward to going 717 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 1: back and watching that tape again. That was a game 718 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 1: Chiefs beat the Bucks seven to twenty four. Will come 719 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,400 Speaker 1: back there by the Bucks late, uh, near the end 720 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 1: of the game DJ. In that game, remember Tyreek Hill 721 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:28,279 Speaker 1: went absolutely crazy in the first quarter. He finished the 722 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,399 Speaker 1: game with over and I forgot that was that game. 723 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,480 Speaker 1: Could not slow them down. And when you think about 724 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:37,320 Speaker 1: how the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have gone about doing their business, 725 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 1: they bring pressure. They leave you lined up in one 726 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 1: on once and they believe their guys can get it done. 727 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,880 Speaker 1: In that game, there were no match for Tyreek Hill speed. 728 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,759 Speaker 1: What does Todd Bowls do in the rematch? Does he 729 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,239 Speaker 1: change or does he stick to what has gotten him 730 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,919 Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl? That, to me is the fascinating 731 00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 1: discussion that we will continue to have as we get 732 00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 1: closer to the Super Bowl. Oh, you've got some beat 733 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,279 Speaker 1: up tackles there of the Kansas City Chiefs, and we 734 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 1: saw that pass rush with Shack Mary Jpp get loose 735 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,680 Speaker 1: a little bit against the Packers. Uh, that'll be big. 736 00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I got Jpp on one side, Spagnolo on 737 00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,960 Speaker 1: the other. We've got the Giants, the Patriots, the I 738 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,000 Speaker 1: mean the Brady connections. It's Uh, it's gonna be fun. Man. 739 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,239 Speaker 1: You've got also you've got the Andy Reid who lost 740 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl to Tom Brady previously. I mean, there's 741 00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,239 Speaker 1: storylines all over the place in this game. I mean 742 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,080 Speaker 1: the storylines all over And I think I want to say, 743 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 1: tell Bowls worked for Andy Reid as something you didn't. 744 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,080 Speaker 1: I was there with him, I was in Philadelphia, so 745 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,759 Speaker 1: he knows, he knows Andy Reid well. And so I 746 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,160 Speaker 1: think this is going to be one of the great 747 00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,160 Speaker 1: Super Bowls that we get a chance to see so 748 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,480 Speaker 1: many compelling storylines. And also we always talk about styles 749 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:45,600 Speaker 1: making fights. Uh offensively, the Chiefs going against his Temp 750 00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,120 Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers defense, to me is something that is very, 751 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:51,960 Speaker 1: very fascinating. Crazy to me that Patrick Mahomes was in 752 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,799 Speaker 1: kindergarten when Brady played in his first Super Bowl. That 753 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 1: is insane. Think about that's nuts, It's nuts. It's gonna 754 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,359 Speaker 1: be fun. It's gonna be fun again. Lots to look 755 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:05,480 Speaker 1: at here, But that was be prepared presented by Castro Ledge. 756 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,400 Speaker 1: All Right, bluck, this is a fun show man Again. 757 00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 1: I think it's one of the best weekends of the year. 758 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,600 Speaker 1: We get a chance to see these championship games.
