00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,960

Speaker 2: unanswered to get the win and go to another Super

32
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 2: Bowl and meet the Kansas City Chiefs. Mitchell, that game,

33
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 2: oh how it devastating?

34
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: Devastating is a Detroit or rich But I tell you

35
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: what I mean talking about the San Francisco forty nine ers.

36
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: You're right about rock Party. This guy he's the gamer.

37
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: You know, he might not be the most pretty quarterback

38
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: out there from a you know, technicals perspective, but Richard,

39
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: this guy did it in the clutch and you were

40
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: spot on about him. And I know you had a

41
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: front row seat last night How was the environment there.

42
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: I know you said there was a lot of Lions fans,

43
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: but like I know, the faithful showed up. What was

44
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: it like being there last night, Rich Mitchell?

45
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 2: It was electric and it was it was different because

46
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 2: the Lions fans, you got to give him a ton

47
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 2: of credit. You could see that Honolulu blue in those

48
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 2: stands in the San Francisco forty nine ers fans rarely

49
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 2: ever let that happen, and so that was really cool,

50
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 2: and they got quiet in there for a second. For

51
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 2: San Francisco, they were concerned, it was and rightfully so,

52
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 2: because the Detroit Lion came out with their hair on fire,

53
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 2: more physical, executing better defensively. They were flying around. They

54
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 2: played inspired football to start this game, Mitchell, and they

55
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 2: deserved the lead that they had. I mean, the defense

56
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: that had been struggled all season twenty third in points

57
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 2: per game, really went out there and played their best football.

58
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 2: The d line was ferocious. Every time you looked up,

59
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 2: there were four or five guys around, and it didn't

60
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 2: seem like San Francisco could get anything going. But then

61
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 2: second half turns around and there were a few decisions,

62
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,839
Speaker 2: the fourth down decisions that were curious to me where

63
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 2: Dan Campbell fourth and three in the first half kicks

64
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 2: the field goal where you know what I mean, I

65
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: just felt like it's a backbreaker if you score a

66
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 2: touchdown there. That's the situation where gambling man Dan should

67
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 2: come out and you should say, hey, we're just trying

68
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 2: to put a nail on the coffin right now and

69
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 2: not wait till later. But then later on the game

70
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 2: gets a little tighter and San Francisco gets within a

71
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 2: touchdown and then you say, oh, man, I won't kick

72
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 2: the field goal now, I'm gonna go for the gusto.

73
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 2: I just it was curious. But it's a young coach

74
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 2: and you got to give them his team a lot

75
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 2: of credit for getting there. They came out ready to play.

76
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 2: You can't you can't take anything away from that. But

77
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 2: rock party in the San Francisco forty nine er Steve Wilkes.

78
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 2: They made adjustments. But Mitchell, talk to me about Detroit

79
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 2: because I can't imagine how you were feeling in the

80
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 2: first half.

81
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna rant here this is it was an

82
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: emotional day, emotional week.

83
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 2: For this city of Detroit.

84
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: I mean, this is We're not used to this rich

85
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 1: I mean we got the Red Wings, the Pistons, I mean,

86
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: I think they just got their sixth one of the

87
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: season yesterday. Like, Detroit is not used to this, and

88
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 1: this city has been starving for this, and the Detroit

89
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: Lions has given the city life. And Detroit City it

90
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: gets the bad rap, but let me tell you, Detroit

91
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: is awesome. You know, everyone in this community is awesome

92
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: to see this team. They embodied Detroit true grit and Richard,

93
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: I'm so proud of what they were able to accomplish

94
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: this year, what they showed me last night. Sure they

95
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 1: came out on the losing end of this game, but

96
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: they're here to stay. I mean, this Detroit Lion team,

97
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: they're not the Dallas Cowboys. They don't show up in

98
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 1: the San Francisco againt their doors blown off of them.

99
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,799
Speaker 1: This team is here to say. And your colleague, Skip

100
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 1: Bayless with his tweet earlier in the week that the

101
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: Lions earned the right to go to San Francisco and

102
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: get blown out, you know, a shame on you. Maybe

103
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: you should do some analysis into this Detroit Lion team.

104
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: They embody something different, something that the Dallas Cowboys do

105
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: not have. That's toughness in the trenches. Rich This is

106
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: where football is made in the trenches. Toney Sewell, No

107
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: one wants to line up opposite of him.

108
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 2: You know.

109
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: They got Frank Ragnow guy's playing with the busted ankle,

110
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: broken knee, he's got a toe that doesn't work, you know,

111
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: his neck, his back, you name it, Taylor Decker. This

112
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: guy's been with the team for almost ten year. You know, Richard,

113
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: there are blemishes on this team. Their secondary needs help.

114
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: But by god, man, they fight like hell. And Dan

115
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: Campbell is the master motivator. And I know there was

116
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: some decisions made in this game that ultimately probably cost

117
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: them an opportunity to win. You know, the fourth downs,

118
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 1: you know, but the play was drawn up and it

119
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: was there. Josh Reynolds didn't make the catch. It is

120
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: what it is, but Richard, Dan Campbell carries his sword

121
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: into battle. It's the same sort he kills with, and

122
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: it's the same sort he got killed with. It is

123
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,679
Speaker 1: what it is. This team is built with this DNA.

124
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: They're not gonna change. And that's what I love about

125
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell.

126
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 2: This team.

127
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter the platform, doesn't matter the stage. They're

128
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: gonna play with the same identity that got I'm there

129
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: in the first place, Richard, I see this team being

130
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: back in this situation next year. And I know I'm

131
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: very curious from your perspective, did you see this coming

132
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: from this Detroit team? Did you see it being this

133
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: close of a game, because I think a lot of

134
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: people were put it on noticed last night.

135
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 2: No question, Mitchell. I saw Detroit having success running the football,

136
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 2: no question, because they've done it all year. They got

137
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 2: maulers up front. But did I see them to the

138
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 2: tune of one hundred and forty eight yards in the

139
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 2: first half and just really dominating the game time and possession.

140
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 2: I think they held it for eleven minutes in the

141
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 2: second quarter. No, Mitchell, I cannot say. I cannot say

142
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 2: I saw that coming. I cannot. But they deserve a

143
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 2: lot of credit for what they did, even in the

144
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 2: second half. You know people are gonna say, well, they

145
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 2: didn't do nothing in the second half. They converted a

146
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 2: third and twelve, a third and eighteen, a third and four.

147
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 2: I mean, Mitchell, you got to give Jared Goroff a

148
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 2: lot of credit. Jared Golf was standing in there delivering

149
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 2: play after play after play. Sure had some misses. No question,

150
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,679
Speaker 2: this is a tough defense to play against. But score

151
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 2: thirty one points in this game against the number three

152
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 2: scoring defense in the land and the it's no joke,

153
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 2: it's nothing that's to scoff at. He played a really

154
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 2: good game and he deserves a ton of credit. The

155
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 2: San Francisco forty nine has just found a way to

156
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 2: be better this day. That does not nothing needs to

157
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 2: be taken away from the Detroit Lions and what they

158
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 2: were able to do and what they've done this year.

159
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 2: They will be back, and I know that Dan Campbell

160
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 2: said it's gonna be twice as hard. He's for sure correct.

161
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 2: But with that comes, Hey, you have the experience that

162
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 2: your team knows they can get there, your team knows

163
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 2: they believe. Hey, we deserve to be in these conversations.

164
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 2: We were in the final four. We will be back.

165
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 2: And that was cool to see the brock Purty conversation.

166
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a second year guy out there

167
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 2: playing Pro Bowl football when his team needs to have it,

168
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 2: making plays down to stretch with is on with his legs,

169
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 2: play making Mitchell playmaking, not how it was drawn on

170
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 2: the card. Not Hey, Kyle Shanahan schemed this up and

171
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 2: he threw it to the open guy. Hey, the play

172
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 2: broke down. What it's not working the way we saw working.

173
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 2: What can you do? And he went out there twenty

174
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 2: one yard run, ten yard run, twenty one yard run

175
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 2: in a crucial drive where they needed to have it.

176
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 2: The defense showed up in a big way. Tayshawn Gibson,

177
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 2: a friend of the program, Mitchell, you get on the

178
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 2: program and all of a sudden you start making big

179
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 2: plays in the NFC Championship game. And he forced a

180
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 2: huge fumble and guess who the ball fell to, Mitchell

181
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 2: Eric Armstead, another friend of the program. It just seemed

182
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 2: like a Richard Sherman podcast meeting at the football and

183
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 2: weird appreciate that, but that doesn't take away from what

184
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 2: this team was able to do. Made really big plays.

185
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey again huge plays down the stretch, just like

186
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 2: he did last year an NFC Championship game against the

187
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 2: Philadelphia Eagles. He made huge plays, huge runs when his

188
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 2: team needed to have it. And it was a great

189
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 2: ball game. It was a great ball game. I'm glad

190
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 2: San Francisco came out with the win. The environment was

191
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 2: electric as the game got closer. Clearly the Niners fans

192
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 2: a faithful start leaving it got louder, it got crazier.

193
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 2: But it takes a lot to execute during those stretches,

194
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 2: and they really did. Deebo Samuels take Tayshawn ray Kwan,

195
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 2: Samuel Senior deserves a ton of credit. Led to the

196
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 2: team and receiving and did it the hard way. Yak,

197
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 2: the yak attack. He caught the ball, made people miss,

198
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 2: made people feel him. They don't win that game without him.

199
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 2: They don't win that game without Nicholas John Bosa. Huge

200
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 2: sacks to push the Detroit Lions back in those situations.

201
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 2: Pressure all day. Pressure from Eric Armstead all day, Charvarius

202
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 2: Ward with good coverage, Diamador Leonor with good coverage, Jayra

203
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 2: Brown with huge tackles early on where it looked like

204
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 2: they had a lane, they had open field. But I

205
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 2: did not see it going like this. But tip of

206
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 2: the cap did a Detroit Lions. What a fight.

207
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,839
Speaker 1: It was a tremendous game and the San Francisco forty nine. Richard,

208
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: we've been I know you're high as high can be

209
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: on this team, but I mean, for me watching this team,

210
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: they are the true mold of a championship team. I

211
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: mean the Detroit Lions in the San Francisco forty nine

212
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: ers are different in the sense that they invest in

213
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: the running backs, right, I mean Christian McCaffrey when all

214
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: else is failing. Give him the ball and they got

215
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: another one. You call him a receiver, call him a

216
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: running back, call them whatever you want. Deebo Samuel is

217
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: a flat out game changer, a game wrecker. It doesn't dude,

218
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: They could not bring him down, rich I mean, it

219
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: didn't matter the circumstance. You give it to him on

220
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: a sweep, you give it to him on a pitch,

221
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 1: you give it to him on a bubble screen, whatever

222
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: it is, Deebo Samuel is going to get you six

223
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,839
Speaker 1: to eight ten yards whatever you need. You got two

224
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: of those guys, forget about it. I mean, I know

225
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: Kansas City is going to be a tough matchup, but Richard,

226
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: I think they got him just because this team can

227
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: be in so many different ways. And we've already touched

228
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: on it in a couple of times. But you were

229
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: so right about brock Perty. I mean, this guy, if

230
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: he was drafted in the first round, the narrative on

231
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: him would be totally different.

232
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 2: But he's mister.

233
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: Irrelevant, so what he's doing doesn't matter. Right, He just

234
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: plays for a great team. He's a guy that is

235
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: just you know, a product of Kyle Shanahan. No, this

236
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: guy went out there when plays broke down last night.

237
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 2: The guy made some big time plays.

238
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: That float pass though Juwan Jennings, the one handed catch

239
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: over the middle on third down, Like, come on, like,

240
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: we cannot just dismiss this and overlook it. You know,

241
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: breaking out of the tackle out of a sure sack

242
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: by Ifi Malifano, a guy who's come up and researched

243
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: this this year and really added good life to Detroit

244
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,839
Speaker 1: secondary late in the season. You know, he scrambles out

245
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 1: of that, makes a huge run on a third and long.

246
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: I mean, these are back breaking plays and this guy

247
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 1: is only going to get better and better and better.

248
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: What people don't realize about brock Perties he's slippery. You know,

249
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 1: he's got it. He's got some mobility to him. He

250
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: doesn't lean on it, but when he needs to lean

251
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: on it, he does, and it showed sure showed up

252
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 1: last night.

253
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 2: Richard.

254
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 1: Congrats to you, my friend. Like I'm I'm very happy

255
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,719
Speaker 1: for the Niners faithful. I mean, obviously, I've been a

256
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: fan of this team ever since you you've played for them.

257
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: This Super Bowl is gonna be awesome. And we see

258
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: it again, Patrick Mahomes. Richard, you were so right again.

259
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: I got to listen to you more often because I

260
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: said it was Josh Allen's year. I was wrong. Kansas

261
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: City goes on the road and gets it done against Baltimore.

262
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: Not a whole lot of people saw it coming. You

263
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: saw it coming, though, Richard, What are your thoughts on

264
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 1: this game?

265
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 2: I didn't see it soon enough, though, Mitchell, and I

266
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 2: lost a bet and I lost a bet to one

267
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,719
Speaker 2: of my followers, and now I have to down Kansas

268
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 2: City Chiefs hat during this segment of our show. Oh

269
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 2: it hurts. I can't even put it all right, Metell.

270
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 2: It just feels like, just doesn't feel right. I don't

271
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 2: want to put it. How do you even know? How

272
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 2: did I even own that, rich Mitchell? I had to

273
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 2: purchase it from Amazon, our friends at Amazon, you know,

274
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 2: obviously they're friends of the program, but an employer of mind.

275
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 2: But oh my god, Mitchell, it doesn't even it doesn't

276
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 2: feel great. But they played a fantastic game. Mitchell and

277
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 2: I and I made this bet early. I forget. I

278
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 2: feel like it was December when I made the bet.

279
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 2: And then obviously you see him play in the playoffs

280
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 2: and you're like, I mean again, I said it all year,

281
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 2: it's hard to bet against my homes in the playoffs

282
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 2: because he just does not lose. And and I tried

283
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 2: to tell Baltimore fans we we had gone into one

284
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 2: of those Twitter like what is it the groups that

285
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 2: like the is it? Yeah? What is it called thread?

286
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 2: Is it threads or no? Just maybe whatever?

287
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, whatever, the little speaking icon thing where you can

288
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: all talk to each other.

289
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 2: But I went in and it was Kansas City Chiefs

290
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 2: that the follower who won the bet asked me to

291
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 2: come in Ethan and I came in and I listened

292
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 2: to him talking. Baltimore fans were talking about ear it's

293
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 2: gonna be a double digit win, y'all, don't stop the run. Well,

294
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 2: this isn't you know? This is Lamar's year. You haven't

295
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 2: watched him play. Clearly, y'all know watching our defense, they're

296
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 2: gonna cause turnovers and calls havoc and some of the

297
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 2: things they were saying, what's correct? I mean this defense

298
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 2: has forced a lot of turnovers. They're number one in

299
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 2: the league. They ate a lot of sacks. But I

300
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 2: mean I said, I wouldn't say a double digit blowout win.

301
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 2: I think Kansas City's gonna win in a close game.

302
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 2: But I mean, you can't bet against Patrick Mahomes Mitchell,

303
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 2: and when you do. He's had seventeen playoff games, Mitchell,

304
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 2: only three people have sent it. Only three times he's

305
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 2: been sent home, So only two guys have done it.

306
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow and then Brady did it twice and one

307
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 2: of the times Brady did it. Mahomes is very young,

308
00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 2: and so it's been a while since somebody really just

309
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 2: sent him home. I mean Brady did it when when

310
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 2: he was missing his two tackles in the Super Bowl,

311
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 2: but he's not had a defense like he does this year.

312
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 2: And I knew it was gonna get overlooked Mitchell. I

313
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 2: knew it. I knew everybody was gonna sit here and

314
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 2: treat this like a normal Kansas City Patrick Mahomes's team.

315
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 2: This is not that they are not a normal Kansas City.

316
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 2: They are a top three defense in this league, something

317
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 2: he usually doesn't have. And so when you talk about

318
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 2: what they like on offense, and how you know this

319
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 2: is a down year for their offense statistically? Sure, that's correct.

320
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 2: They they're not scoring a ton of points. They've only

321
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 2: scored thirty three times this year, but they're also number

322
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 2: two in scoring defense, which is something they usually aren't.

323
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 2: So when you're not scoring a lot, your defense better

324
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 2: beat dang good, Mitchell, and Kansas City's defense was really

325
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 2: good this game. And I got to give him a

326
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 2: ton of credit. Oh my god, these Kansas City fans

327
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 2: got me wearing a Kansas City had h. I don't know,

328
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 2: feel weird, well, Richard, it's funny guys.

329
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: Sitting watching the games with a couple of buddies last night,

330
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: and after Mahomes won, friend turns and looks at me.

331
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 2: He goes, it is Mahomes? Does he does?

332
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 1: He enter into the Tom Brady conversation right now. I mean,

333
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: I mean, Tom, you go ahead and take it.

334
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 2: Enter in, Mitchell, He is in. He is a freaking entering.

335
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 2: First six years, Tom went to three Super Bowls. Patrick's

336
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 2: going to four now. Tom won three Super Bowls. Patrick

337
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 2: has won two so far. Hopefully he stays at two,

338
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 2: but he's going to four. Mitchell he's got two MVPs.

339
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 2: Tom didn't have an MVP at this point, and Tom

340
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 2: was not seen in the way Patrick has seen. Patrick

341
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 2: is the big bad Wolf. Patrick is Bowser. Mitchell, you

342
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 2: know you're gonna have to see him at the end

343
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 2: of the at the end of the level, no matter

344
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 2: what level you're on, at the end of the road

345
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 2: is Bowser. It's going to be that opponent that top

346
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 2: of the mountain. He's gonna be there. Can you can

347
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 2: you slay the dragon? Can you can David get good life?

348
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 2: You know? Can you can you knock him off the mantle?

349
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 2: Because he's going to be on the mantle. He's gonna

350
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 2: be up there, and that's he's starting to become an inevitability.

351
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 2: That's the way you look down the road to AFC.

352
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 2: If you want to get to the super Bowl, you're

353
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 2: gonna eventually see him, whether it's in the first round,

354
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 2: second round, or the championship. If you if you think

355
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 2: you're gonna go to the super Bowl and not go

356
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 2: through my homes, you got another thing coming right now

357
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 2: in the league that we stand as it stands, and

358
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 2: that's with Tyreek Hill without Tyreek Kiel. I mean we

359
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 2: talked about his receivers and it drops all year. Guess

360
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,679
Speaker 2: what Valds Scantley when he needed to have it, Mitchell,

361
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 2: he caught the football and he caught it. He didn't

362
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 2: seal and catch. Give him, give him credit, tip your

363
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 2: cap off to him because he made the plays. They

364
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 2: did not have a lot of drops in this game.

365
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 2: Travis Kelce eleven targets, eleven catches. Well, what else can

366
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 2: you say there? But I think this is gonna be

367
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 2: a good matchup for the San Francisco forty nine ers

368
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 2: and the Kansas City Chiefs. That d line from the

369
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,439
Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs is ferocious and they gave us a

370
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 2: lot of problems in a Super Bowl game that I

371
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 2: played with him in nineteen. And Chris Jones is still there.

372
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 2: There are a lot of other pieces that are different,

373
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 2: but Chris Jones is there, and that interior offensive line

374
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 2: is gonna have to find some answers for him because

375
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,919
Speaker 2: he's going to be the one. He can blow this

376
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 2: game up. He can ruin it, and if they can't

377
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 2: get him contained, then it's gonna be a very long

378
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 2: day for brock perty moving off the spot. But if

379
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 2: they can give him enough time, I think he can

380
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 2: find some success staying away from Lagerius Snead. And you know,

381
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 2: you can find some matchups with these linebackers, but Lagarious

382
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 2: Snead is one of those ones. Now him and Brandon

383
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 2: Ayu can go at it. I'm sure they can find

384
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 2: spaces where Brandon could get some wins. But this is

385
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 2: gonna be a fun game that I just just wearing

386
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 2: his hat. Mitch. It just just not not a comfortable

387
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 2: space for me. You look uncomfortable. I can't even believe

388
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 2: you have it.

389
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: Well, Richard, this is a whole to me, this team,

390
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: this Chiefs team, this is a whole new team. This

391
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 1: is a wildly different team than the ones we're used

392
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: to seeing. And that's what I think makes this one

393
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: the most impressive for Mahomes. I mean, look at the

394
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: players he's leaning on. Travis Kelsey was Travis Kell's thirty

395
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: four now somewhere in that range. You know, Rashid Rice,

396
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 1: a rookie wide out, is your number one receiving option.

397
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: And then Isaiah Pacheco seventh round or out of Rutgers.

398
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: I mean, these are his top three offensive threats with

399
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,199
Speaker 1: him and he's carrying the load. I mean, is this

400
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 1: to me, it puts him firmly in that category with Brady.

401
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,959
Speaker 1: You know, he's elevating the players around him. He no

402
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: longer has a Tyreek Hill type to help him out.

403
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: But Baltimore, man, this team was smoking hot entering this game.

404
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:04,479
Speaker 1: Everyone was on the Lamar Jackson hype train. Except for you, Richard,

405
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 1: except for you. And yet again it's a common theme today.

406
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 1: You were right, Lamar Jackson folds in this moment, Richard.

407
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 1: How does this happen?

408
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 2: Mitchell, I'm not right on everything. You know, nobody is.

409
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 2: Nobody shoots one hundred percent. I've been wrong. I was

410
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 2: wrong on the CD Lamb thing. You know, if you

411
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 2: ask Green Bay Packers fans, I was wrong about Jordan Love.

412
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 2: You know, obviously I'm wearing a Kansas City Chiefs hat

413
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 2: for a second. So I was wrong that they would

414
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,719
Speaker 2: get put out and send home in January. But Mitchell,

415
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 2: I would say more times than not, I would say

416
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 2: I'm at least sixty percent, maybe sixty five, that I'm

417
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 2: gonna call it. It's gonna go the way I called it,

418
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 2: probably sixty five, maybe seventy sometimes, but it's because it's

419
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 2: just this offense has been stagnant at times. Ten games

420
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 2: this season where he had one passing touchdown or less.

421
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 2: There are times this season where you watch the game

422
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 2: and you're like, what are they doing offensively? How are

423
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 2: they going three and out? Three and out, three and out?

424
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 2: But then then they somehow still score thirty five and

425
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 2: you're like, oh, okay, the defense cost three four turnovers

426
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 2: and then the game got out of hand. But the

427
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 2: games that were close, the games that like where the

428
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 2: defense like played great but the offense struggled, there was

429
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 2: a few drops there was here. It was it got

430
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 2: tighted to Pittsburgh game early on where Kenny Pickett audible

431
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 2: to a go route to George Pickens and it was

432
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 2: a touchdown. It was games seventeen to ten, and everybody's like, man,

433
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,199
Speaker 2: the defense gave up a touchdown. It's like, well, they

434
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 2: gave up seventeen points. Can we talk about the ten

435
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 2: points to score? Cause because the ten points from that

436
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 2: offense that's supposed to be all otherworldly isn't gonna be

437
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 2: good enough. And then you go on and you got

438
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 2: all these other blowout games, but they didn't have enough

439
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 2: close games where it was like, hey, all right, let's

440
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 2: see how they execute in a dog fight like because

441
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 2: his defense was so dominant. They didn't have to because

442
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 2: every time they got in a dog fight, the defense

443
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 2: would make something happen and they would pick six or

444
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 2: Kyle Hamilton or test them out of BK or or

445
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 2: one of the two All Pro Pro Bowl linebackers would

446
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 2: make a huge play, and then the game we get

447
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 2: out of hand. But I knew I wanted to see

448
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 2: what it looked like when it stayed close, because I

449
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 2: knew Andy Reid and Spags would draw up incredible game

450
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 2: plans to make sure, Hey, we're gonna make these guys

451
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 2: do what they do and don't do well consistently. So

452
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 2: this fantastic pass rush that Baltimore has, we're gonna slow

453
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 2: them down with a few screens. We're gonna make them

454
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 2: think about before they they just row off the ball

455
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 2: and get in the backfield. We're gonna say, hey, it

456
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 2: might be a screen. You may want to They want

457
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,199
Speaker 2: to hold your horses before you before you get screened

458
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 2: to death. And so they slowed the pass rush down.

459
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 2: Then on the other side, Spags was putting pressure on Lamar,

460
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 2: containing them. These guys weren't rushing to sack all the

461
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 2: time at so they were rushing to contain and they

462
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 2: were saying, hey, Lamar, beat us, beat us consistently. I

463
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,360
Speaker 2: want to see if you're gonna consistently bang dencon Duck

464
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 2: and we're gonna put our best player on your best player,

465
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 2: and we're gonna see if you consistently can beat us,

466
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 2: and do they fly? I mean to say, Flowers credit.

467
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 2: He had an over one hundred yards receiving five catches.

468
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 2: For all intents and purposes, a really good game. And

469
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 2: there was those few plays Mitchell, the taunting mistake. Everybody

470
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 2: can say, could they have caught that on Travis Kelce

471
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 2: when he did an end zone? Sure, but that wouldn't

472
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 2: have took points of off the board. It wouldn't have

473
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 2: changed anything. So it would have been hey, taunting, moved

474
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 2: a pat back fifteen yards. Maybe they missed the pat Okay, gotcha.

475
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 2: But this in a situation where you're like, it's just youth,

476
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 2: a little bit of youth showing. But he played really

477
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 2: good and later on in that drive Mitchell, football gods

478
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 2: always get you. He's reaching the ball over the pie line,

479
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 2: which you never do unless it's fourth down or it's

480
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 2: for the game. You don't reach. And now I'm sure

481
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 2: he'll he'll know that lesson and he'll teacher to some

482
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 2: young kid later on and make sure nobody else makes

483
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 2: that mistake. But Lugerius Sneid made a heck of a play.

484
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 2: Should have been a Pro Bowl, should have been an

485
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 2: All Pro. But Mitchell, it's it's those situations that make

486
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 2: the difference in those games where you're like, hey, they

487
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 2: had five personal file penalties for seventy five yards, one

488
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 2: on Roque one. You know they had in those in

489
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 2: the game of this magnitude. That's this type. You can't

490
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 2: have it.

491
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: It's shocking. And like you said, that Za Flowers play

492
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: at the goal line. If he doesn't fumble that ball,

493
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: we might be talking about an entirely different outcome. That

494
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: and Lamar Jackson, I mean, the pick in the red

495
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: zone late in the game when they were trying to

496
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: fight back was the ultimate backbreaker. I don't get it, man,

497
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy looks unbeatable during the regular season.

498
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: I mean, the Detroit Lions marched into Baltimore and just

499
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: got sent home in the first quarter, you know, and

500
00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: but here we are Patrick Malmes again.

501
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 2: They lost their way. Mitchell they lost their way. Gus

502
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,199
Speaker 2: Edwards has had a fantastic season and been part of

503
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 2: these really cool rushing plans that they've had. I mean,

504
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 2: why when they beat San Francisco, when they beat Detroit,

505
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 2: they ran the ball. Lamar ran it, Gus Edwards ran it.

506
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 2: You know they did it by committee, but they consistently.

507
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 2: It's one hundred and fifty rushing yards. Mitchell. They had

508
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 2: sixteen runs in the entire game. You would have thought

509
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 2: they were getting blown out or something. You would have

510
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 2: thought they were down twenty one, because you don't abandon

511
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 2: the run, not when that's your bread and putter, when

512
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 2: you're only down ten at the most, you were down

513
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 2: ten and you just give up on running the football

514
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 2: like I can't. And that's a mistake on Todd Munkin.

515
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 2: Todd Munkin, he whole learn from it. This is you know,

516
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 2: people think, oh, coaches just need to be perfect. This

517
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 2: is his first AFC championship. Two. It's not like he's

518
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 2: you know, Andy Reid has been here over and over

519
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 2: and over. They've been in here six times in a row.

520
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 2: So he's not gonna panic any situations. He's going to

521
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 2: be very calm and poised because he's been here before.

522
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 2: Patrick has been here. They're here every year. You know,

523
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 2: this is this is an annual thing for the Kansas

524
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 2: City Chiefs. I mean they're usually like, hey, we're usually

525
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 2: at Arrowhead, but you know, we get to go to Baltimore.

526
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,199
Speaker 2: This time. It's different, but nice, nice to little change up.

527
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 2: In the end, the result was the same. You end

528
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 2: up with the trophy dancing and doing whatever the dance

529
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 2: they were doing on the Baltimore's field. I don't know,

530
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 2: I don't know.

531
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: And now we got a rematch of the last Super

532
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: Bowl you played in down in Miami.

533
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 2: Do you see.

534
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 1: Let's just talk about this game real quick here. San

535
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: Francisco Chiefs, Another another game, another Super Bowl match up.

536
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,880
Speaker 1: Vegas has got the Niners favored by almost a field

537
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: goal two and a half point favorites. Richard early On,

538
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 1: I mean, what are your thoughts about this game? What

539
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 1: does San Francisco have to focus on to get this victory?

540
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 2: They have to stop the run. Isaiah Pacheco is going

541
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 2: to be the guy. They got to stop Mitchell. They

542
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 2: got to stop the run.

543
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 1: And I feel like they've been they've been like why

544
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 1: is that new stuff? The last two games Aaron Jones,

545
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 1: and now you see Detroit run wild against some of

546
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: the first half, Like how is all of a sudden

547
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,439
Speaker 1: teams seem to figure that out in the playoff run?

548
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 2: Has that been available all year and people are just

549
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 2: starting to run on them or what? It's been that

550
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 2: way all year. The thing that has saved him is leads.

551
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 2: Menchell leads, so they get away from teams so fast

552
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 2: and they get leads and then teams go away from

553
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 2: the run game. That's working. Detroit half the lead for

554
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 2: most of the first half or all of the first half,

555
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:31,239
Speaker 2: and so they didn't have to get away from it.

556
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 2: So it was like, hey, stick to this and they

557
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 2: were finding. Now everybody doesn't have Detroit's offensive line. I

558
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 2: don't think uh Tooney's gonna be out there. I think

559
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 2: he's still going to be out for this game. He

560
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 2: was injured for the championship game. I'm not sure what

561
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 2: it was, but I'm sure you know there's a chance

562
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 2: he makes it back. I guess we'll see the injury report.

563
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 2: But they don't have the maulers that that Detroit does,

564
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 2: and you know, nobody has a Pinay soul, but they

565
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 2: do have good players good enough players to get the

566
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 2: job done. But it's it's comatic at this point, you know.

567
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 2: And I think Steve Wilks made the adjustments in the

568
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 2: second half. Obviously, they held Detroit to thirty five yards

569
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 2: in the second half, so they got the got it rectified.

570
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 2: But still one hundred and forty eight yards is more

571
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 2: than I think any team that Kyle Shanahan has coached

572
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 2: as a head coach in the playoffs period, and that

573
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 2: was in one half, and so that's something that obviously

574
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 2: Andy Reid is going to try to exploit. They're gonna

575
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 2: have to find a way to cover up those zones

576
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 2: a little bit better. Some of the windows were too

577
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 2: big for Patrick Mahomes to do it and then pass

578
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 2: rush Nicholas john Bosa cannot do it by himself. He

579
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 2: tried this week. He tried. He tried to do it

580
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 2: by hisself, but he's not gonna be able to do it.

581
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 2: Chase Young has to wake up and find a way

582
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 2: to get to the quarterback. Randy Gregory, Javon Hargraves Eric

583
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 2: got some good pressure on the quarterback, moved him off

584
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 2: the spot in some crucial situations. But they're gonna have

585
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 2: to get more pressure on Patrick Mahomes. And if they

586
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 2: can do that, Mitchell, then it could be a really

587
00:29:59,080 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 2: different game.

588
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: Well what do you think, I mean initial predicted prediction.

589
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: You like San fran I'm assuming.

590
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like. I like San Francisco winning this game

591
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 2: twenty one to seventeen metro. I think it's going to

592
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 2: be right around there, twenty one seventeen, twenty one to

593
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 2: twenty four, I mean twenty four to twenty one something

594
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 2: around there. It's not going to be a super high

595
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 2: scoring affair again, at least I don't think so. You know,

596
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 2: everything can change, but Kansas City hasn't been a high

597
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 2: scoring offense this entire year. That's not their m and

598
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 2: their defense isn't given up a lot of points. And

599
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 2: so I think twenty four to twenty one right now.

600
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 2: That's how I'm feeling San Francisco. But let me keep

601
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 2: coming through the tape and see what I see. But

602
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 2: I there's some favorable matchups on both sides of the ball.

603
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 2: I think Kansas City defensive line against San Francisco's interior

604
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 2: offensive line is a potential issue. I think there could

605
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 2: be some some good traction if if the tackles you know,

606
00:30:55,360 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 2: with the tackle DN matchup for San Francisco versus Kansas

607
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 2: City's offensive line, that's going to be a matchup to

608
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 2: watch for sure. I think there there's a there's some

609
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 2: something to be said Christian McCaffrey versus the linebackers of

610
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 2: Kansas City. You know, they're really athletic, they're they're very solid.

611
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 2: But Christian McCaffrey is a special player. So we'll see,

612
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 2: you know, I just got to keep coming through tape, well, Richard.

613
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: This this concludes our NFC AFC Championship review. The Richard

614
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: Sherman Podcast is on the brink of a historic moment here, guys.

615
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:33,600
