Absolutely r JP. 37 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 2: Let's get to bigger news, man, because it is absolutely 38 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 2: that time. 39 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 6: So the bigger news. 40 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes doing it again, winning his third Super Bowl 41 00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 2: and third Super Bowl MVP or that great chief defense 42 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 2: limiting Niners receivers George Kittle, Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel 43 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 2: to a total of zero touchdowns, eighty six yards and 44 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 2: eight catches. 45 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 3: This is tough, and I want to talk to defense, 46 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 3: and I hope you give me the opportunity to, but 47 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 3: I have to say it's Patrick Mahomes. I mean we 48 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 3: are entering rarefied air now. As at twenty eight years old, 49 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 3: he already has the third most postseason wins of all time, 50 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 3: only behind Tom Brady and Joe Montana. And what he 51 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,639 Speaker 3: was able to do late in this game, and I 52 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 3: want to specifically talk about what he did with his legs. 53 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 3: I had a conversation with David Gardi, their quarterback coach, 54 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 3: on the field after the game, and he told me 55 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 3: we were very calm heading into that overtime. Our conversation 56 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 3: on the sideline was this, if they keep sinking back, Steve, 57 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 3: take the underneath stuff and use your legs. And you're 58 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 3: seeing him do it again right here. Their faith in 59 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 3: him as a runner is much more than probably people think. 60 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 3: And when I've talked to his personal people around him 61 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,839 Speaker 3: that worked with him, they believe that The Chiefs think 62 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 3: he can take hits like a running back. He can 63 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 3: move just as well as anybody else in the field. 64 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 3: They put in work so he knows who and where 65 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 3: he can go on the field, who we can run around. 66 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 3: It's just every added element he has to make him 67 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 3: the best player on the field when things aren't even 68 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 3: going right, just makes him all the more unstoppable and 69 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 3: adding that element in the fourth quarter, just you knew 70 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 3: once he took the field, just like Brett Veach told us, 71 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 3: they kicked a field goal, Mahomes is going to go 72 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 3: down there and get a touchdown and in a Super 73 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 3: Bowl against a team as. 74 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: Good as a Niner. Steve. 75 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 3: To have that thought while we're sitting next to each 76 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 3: other in the press box is remarkable. 77 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 6: Yeah, just like, Okay, he's got this. They're really going 78 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 6: to do this for us. 79 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 2: We were talking to Matt Mayoko of NBC Bay Areas 80 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 2: Sports a little bit more about that, but it's obviously 81 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes. 82 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 6: Like you said, we're watching history right now. 83 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 2: We're seeing Tom Brady and Peyton Manning with the ability 84 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 2: to run, and we saw some of these quarterbacks, especially 85 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 2: in crunch time, think they've got to make the spectacle 86 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 2: played to win the ball game. He's like, no, I'm 87 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 2: seeing Travis Kelcey getting manned up against Fred Warner, one 88 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 2: of the best linebackers in the NFL. We're gonna hit 89 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 2: him on a crossing route because Kelsey has his body 90 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 2: towards him and he's got the speed on him. So 91 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 2: let's just go ahead and make that work. We're seeing 92 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,479 Speaker 2: highlights here of rashe Rice, but he's just taking it. 93 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 2: We don't need to we don't need to win it 94 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 2: right away, right We're just gonna do what we have 95 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 2: to do because that's how we've had to win for 96 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 2: the past three years when defenses started to change when 97 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,919 Speaker 2: they played it so JP, I hope everybody you know. 98 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 2: A big question all week, and I hate it because 99 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 2: it's kind of lazy commentary. Is what if a lady 100 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 2: say to people who are getting tired of the chief success. 101 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,239 Speaker 2: I'm like, well, you better enjoy it because number fifteen 102 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 2: is that dude, and he is not going anywhere. And 103 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 2: to add, he's got to be one of the most 104 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 2: likable people in the NFL. 105 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 6: He really is holy respect everything about Patrick. 106 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: Mahomes it is remarkable. 107 00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 3: And I mentioned I want to mention the defense because 108 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 3: Trent McDuffie told me on the field Steve after the game, 109 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 3: I said, what'd you guys change? He goes Spags came 110 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 3: to us in the secondary and said, we're going, man, 111 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 3: I'm going to lean on you. 112 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 1: Our front's going to take care of the run. 113 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 3: We need you guys to take care of business, and 114 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 3: I saw these stats and they blew me away. They 115 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 3: went cover zero Steve twenty one percent of the time, 116 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 3: the average against the forty nine ers six cover one 117 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 3: forty percent of the time, the average for the year 118 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 3: twenty three percent. He went man sixty four percent of 119 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 3: the time. Teams only did that about thirty percent of 120 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 3: time against the Niners. And this group was able to 121 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 3: go out and handle that entire group. Lugarius Need told me, 122 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 3: I want to take the hearts out of their chest. 123 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 3: That's a talented, talented group back there that did things 124 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 3: against the Niners formationally that nobody had the guts to do. 125 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 3: And Steve Spagnola went out and did it. What's our 126 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 3: next bigger news, Steve, We're going bigger news. 127 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 2: The Niners players saying that they weren't aware of the 128 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 2: playoff overtime rules or jp the boxed punt return the 129 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 2: final moments of the third quarter that's guarded four consecutive 130 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,119 Speaker 2: scores by the Chiefs, allowing them to tie the game 131 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 2: and to go into overtime. 132 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 3: I'm gonna say the botch punt because what the Chiefs 133 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 3: do is they hang around, they wait for a mistake, 134 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 3: and then bam. 135 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: They pounced. 136 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 3: Because I want to take you back to what happened 137 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 3: before this punt. Remember, Steve, they come out of halftime, 138 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 3: the snap goes bad, the pitch goes bad. Do they 139 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,239 Speaker 3: lose twelve yards trying to get to Isaiah Pacheco? 140 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: Third and one? They have to call time out. I 141 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: don't know why, but then they still don't get it. 142 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 3: In third and one, they punt and then they get 143 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 3: you know, they get down back in you know, their 144 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 3: own territory. 145 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: Once again. 146 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 6: They had nothing. 147 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 3: Going offensively until this mishap and then one play touchdown, 148 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 3: and they scored on every drive. 149 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 2: After it was you know that play and first off, 150 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 2: that was not a Ray Ray McLeod the punt returner. 151 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 2: He was trying to get on that great point. Well 152 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 2: hit a teammate, so you know, people need to stop, 153 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 2: you know, giving him grief. But that changed everything. The Niners, 154 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 2: as ineffective as they were in terms of capitalizing on opportunities, 155 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 2: that opened the door. You know, the Chiefs get the ball, 156 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 2: they score on the next play on the touchdown pass 157 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 2: mvs I. 158 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 6: Believe, and that's that thing's in motion. 159 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 2: That's when everybody in that stadium felt Okay, here we go, 160 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 2: right and then don't forget the Niners went down and 161 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 2: scored a couple times after that, but they kicked field goals, 162 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,119 Speaker 2: and that was the huge thing going on right here. 163 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 2: The chief was scoring touchdowns, the Niners were scoring field goals. 164 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 2: You know, we're going to talk to Matt Mayoko about 165 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 2: all of the discussion about the overtime rules. But frankly, 166 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 2: had that mistake on the punt return not happened, I 167 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 2: don't think we're going here. Let's also not forget the 168 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 2: Niners had a pat blocked. That's not getting enough discussion 169 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 2: when it talks about them not capitalizing, because if they 170 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 2: convert that pat, that game could have been over in regulation. 171 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 3: That's a great point, Steve. We don't talk about special 172 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 3: teams enough. We probably don't talk about Harrison Bucker enough 173 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 3: of what he's done this entire postseason. And then oh yeah, 174 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 3: he bangs a fifty seven yarder on the next drive. 175 00:07:58,200 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 3: After you mentioned when the forty nine ers went down, 176 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 3: answered you had a brilliant, brilliant postseason for the Kansas 177 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 3: City Chiefs. And speaking of the Chiefs, we're going to 178 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 3: have Nate Taylor of the Athletic join the NFL Report 179 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 3: next to talk about Andy Reid and how much longer 180 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 3: is he going to be coaching in Kansas City. It 181 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 3: could be years to come. All that more on the 182 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 3: NFL Report Next. 183 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 2: You're listening to the NFL Report podcast, but you can 184 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 2: watch me, Steve Weich and my co host James Palmer 185 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 2: on The NFL Report at seven fifteen Eastern time on 186 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 2: Mondays and Thursdays on the NFL App and free streaming 187 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 2: platforms on the NFL Channel on Roku, two b, Peacock, 188 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:41,239 Speaker 2: Pluto TV. 189 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: And other free streaming apps. 190 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 2: It's time for the lead Block, presented by T Mobile 191 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,439 Speaker 2: for Business.

It was like a who's who 206 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 3: of people and one picture that's standing out to be 207 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 3: the most. As Nate Taylor joins us from the Athletic 208 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 3: Steve is Mahomes on the ground with his hands up 209 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 3: and if you've seen the ZAC, same pick sure of 210 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 3: Michael Jordan with the ball laying on the ground in 211 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 3: almost the exact same pose. That's the comp we're starting 212 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,959 Speaker 3: to have Nate for Patrick Mahomes. But I want to 213 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 3: go to the man before we start this chat that 214 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 3: runs this entire thing, and that's Big Red Andy Reid. 215 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 3: Where there was speculation about him potentially retiring before this game. 216 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 3: So that was the very first question I wanted to 217 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 3: ask owner Clark Hunt when I had a chance to 218 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 3: speak with him right after the game. 219 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: Roll the tape, Elsie, what. 220 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,839 Speaker 3: Is your pitch as owner Clark to just make sure 221 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 3: Andy stays as long as humanly possible in Kansas City. 222 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,679 Speaker 8: My pitch to him is Patrick's under contract for another 223 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 8: eight years. I know Andy loves what he's doing. We 224 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 8: certainly appreciate him as a family. Our organization is what 225 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 8: it is because of Andy, and he's got a special 226 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 8: relationship with everybody in it. I'm expecting him to be 227 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 8: back next year and we'll be going for the three. 228 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 2: P Absolutely great stuff right there, from Clark Hunt to Nate. 229 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 2: Let me bring you into this now, because James and 230 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 2: I we know Andy well, we know people around him well, 231 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,079 Speaker 2: and without coaching, it seems like Andy would. 232 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 6: Be almost lost. 233 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 2: Was there ever any real thought from the people you've 234 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 2: spoken with to him not coming back next season? 235 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 5: No? 236 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 6: No, Steve. 237 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 5: You know, it's been one of the more I guess, 238 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 5: fascinating subplots of this past season, the fact that Indy 239 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 5: Reed could potentially retire. I know, as it stands right now, 240 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 5: he's the oldest coach in the NFL, but he's still 241 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 5: got multiple years on his contract. I actually think, you know, 242 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 5: one of the things we can discuss maybe at the 243 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 5: Combine in a few weeks, is will Clark give Andy 244 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 5: Reid an extension another one or two years onto his 245 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 5: deal just because I Andy Ree could coach probably until 246 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 5: he's about seventy. You know, we saw his wife Tammy 247 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 5: on the field after the game. She clearly wants him 248 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 5: to continue coaching. There's no rush from the family standpoint 249 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 5: for him to stop working. So given where he is 250 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 5: right now, given where the franchise is, I expect Andrey 251 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 5: not only the coach in twenty twenty four, but likely 252 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 5: twenty twenty five, twenty twenty six, and even twenty twenty 253 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 5: eight as it currently stands right. 254 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 6: Now, based on everyone I've talked to in the organization. 255 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 6: There we go, There we know right, Nay. 256 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 3: I had a really interesting nugget told to me on 257 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 3: the sideline pregame, speaking to one of the coaches who's 258 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,839 Speaker 3: been tight with Andy he for a long time now, 259 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 3: and I said, is there any chance Andy retires? He 260 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,959 Speaker 3: was like, hell no, and this was the reason why. 261 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 3: And I found this fascinating. He said, Back when I 262 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 3: started with Andy, it was about Andy sleeping on the 263 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 3: couch till about week seven every year, where he felt 264 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 3: like he had to spend all of his time at 265 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 3: the facility finding a way to call the perfect game. 266 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 3: And that's the way he felt about it. 267 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: He said. 268 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 3: You fast forward to now, in the last couple of years, 269 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 3: Andy is leaving the facility. 270 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 1: Earlier and earlier and earlier. 271 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 3: Because there is an added comfort level of working with 272 00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 3: Patrick that he hasn't added. Feel that it is worked 273 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:05,359 Speaker 3: out probably faster. Mahomes keeps carrying more himself. The communication 274 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 3: continues to grow, and if Andy's days aren't like what 275 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 3: I described years ago, I'm not sure if that holds 276 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 3: him back by any stretch and going years to come. 277 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 1: If it's starting. 278 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 3: I don't want to say the NFL is easy, but 279 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 3: if it just the process of it during the week 280 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 3: is less time consuming to some extent, right. 281 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,719 Speaker 5: And you have to realize too that Andy Reed has 282 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 5: never had it better, He's never had it this good, 283 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 5: even though we all know he's a future Hall of Famer. 284 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 5: But not only does he have the best quarterback in 285 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 5: the league, but he has one of the best defenses 286 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 5: in the league, which was the youngest unit this season 287 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,839 Speaker 5: on that side of the all. So with everything going on, 288 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 5: he still has the Spagnolo, he still has Matt n Aggie. 289 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 5: Even Eric you and Me obviously is sort of out 290 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 5: there as a free agent coach. I wonder if he 291 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 5: will have some conversations with Andy about potentially joining the 292 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 5: staff again. Obviously, he's got a collection of players the most. 293 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 5: You know, the probably the two biggest free agents for 294 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 5: the Chiefs are Lagarious Need and Chris Jones. So if 295 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 5: they're able to, you know, retain those guys, then obviously 296 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 5: a three pet is in real it's a real possibility, 297 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 5: even despite the fact that the league is very hard 298 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 5: obviously to win, even back to back. So because of 299 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 5: the way everything nd Reed has structured right now, I 300 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 5: do get the sense that there would be no reason 301 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 5: for him to burn the midnight oil the way he 302 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 5: used to. But at the same time, he's got a 303 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 5: lot of trust with Brett Veach, the front office and 304 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 5: obviously his coaching staff that he's really maintained and cultivated 305 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 5: over the last decade since he's been in Kansas City. 306 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 2: Nay, since you just mentioned Lagarious Need and Chris Joes, 307 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 2: who you know are going to be free agents coming up, 308 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 2: what is the focus on retaining them? Because the one 309 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 2: thing we've seen out of the Chiefs the past couple 310 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 2: of years, they've gotten rid of big ticket players and 311 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 2: continued to win. 312 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 5: Yes, and just to name a few, one of the 313 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 5: bigger surprises with Tyron Matthew a couple of years ago, 314 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 5: they obviously place him to Justin Reid. Frank Clark is 315 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 5: no longer on the team right Orlando Brown was a 316 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 5: Pro Bowl left tackle. They let him walk in free agency. 317 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 5: So there's obviously a chance that one of these guys 318 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 5: may not be on the team next year, whether word 319 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 5: it's Lagarious Need or Chris Jones. The easier way for 320 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 5: the Chiefs right now is it is in my perspective, 321 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 5: and what I've been told is it's probably easier for 322 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 5: the Chiefs to maintain Lagarious Need. They can obviously use 323 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 5: the franchise tag if they want to have more time 324 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 5: to negotiate with him on a potential two to three 325 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 5: year deal to keep him, you know, over the course 326 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 5: of the prime of his career. He's twenty seven. It's 327 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 5: going to be a lot harder potentially for Chris Jones, 328 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 5: just because one of the reasons his holdout was so 329 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 5: interesting last year, Steve is because he wanted the possibility 330 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 5: to be a free agent, and now he's going to 331 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 5: get that opportunity as an unrestricted free agent in basically 332 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 5: a couple of weeks. So the Chiefs are going to 333 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 5: try their best to retain Chris Jones. They still want 334 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 5: to get him under contract to some extent. But you know, 335 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 5: right now, I understand why Pro Football focused and why 336 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 5: other services have him as the number one free agent 337 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 5: in this year's draft, or excuse me, in this year's 338 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 5: pre agency class. And so for all that to be said, 339 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 5: Chris Jones wants to stay with the Chiefs, but he 340 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 5: also wants to be paid, you know, near the thirty 341 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 5: million dollar mark. That's something I reported last year. I 342 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 5: don't think that's necessarily gonna change because he helped the 343 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 5: Chiefs win another Super Bowl. So if there's a free 344 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 5: agent team that wants to add, you know, some championship pedigree, 345 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 5: some immediate pass rush help, Chris Jones is going to 346 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 5: be very coveted come March. And for you know, Andy 347 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 5: Reid and Brett Veach, they're gonna have to be very 348 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 5: creative in terms of trying to structure a contract that 349 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 5: makes Chris Jones feel like he's prioritized, like he's one 350 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 5: of the highest paid defensive players in the league. But 351 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 5: also you still have to have that path flexibility considering 352 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 5: Patrick Mahomes' contract obviously will continue to rise as he 353 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 5: goes through his career. Considering that he still has you know, 354 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 5: as Clark contat hat another eight years guaranteed on the 355 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 5: deal as of right now. 356 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is not just an outside edge rusher. 357 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 3: This is a guy that can line up anywhere on 358 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 3: the defensive line. Stuff to run. The entire run onceptis 359 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 3: based off of Chris Jones. Everything he does is phenomenal. 360 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 3: What you're saying, Nay, you know you're able to let 361 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,439 Speaker 3: these guys go if you keep drafting players the way 362 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 3: Brett Veach is. And he's gonna have to pay some 363 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 3: of those too. Remember Tray Smith, Creed Humphord right around 364 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 3: the corner. The keys to that offensive line are set 365 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,400 Speaker 3: to be paid coming off their rookie contracts. So all 366 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,400 Speaker 3: of that, we're looking at how that Brett Viach manages this. 367 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 3: And we have to talk about the man, the myth, 368 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 3: and really the legend. Now, Patrick Mahomes, you've been with 369 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 3: him through all of this, and you've seen the numbers 370 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 3: he's put up over some of these other years. 371 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 1: But it was very interesting. 372 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,439 Speaker 3: On the last day availability I was having a private 373 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 3: conversation with Matt Nague where he told me this year 374 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,719 Speaker 3: actually might mean more to his career moving forward because 375 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 3: of how he had to play and adjust than we're thinking. 376 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 3: This might be a huge year in the growth of 377 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes. And to me that's terrifying for the other 378 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 3: thirty one teams. 379 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 5: It is because I think mentally he's just gotten so 380 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 5: good that you know, Steve will so you could kind 381 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 5: of see it on the broadcast, particularly late in the 382 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,120 Speaker 5: fourth quarter and obviously overtime. What do I call right 383 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 5: now to get my defense to put any pressure, to 384 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 5: put any sort of advantage on that side of the ball. 385 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,160 Speaker 5: And obviously Patrick Mahomes, once he saw pretty much forty 386 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 5: nine ers had to offer, he had the correct answer. 387 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,640 Speaker 5: He used his legs, He used a collection of playmakers right. 388 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,159 Speaker 5: He somehow got Mark Wes Valdez Scalen to be a 389 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 5: viable option, even though Mark Wes had his worst season 390 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 5: of his career. 391 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 6: And I think from a leadership standpoint, kind of to add. 392 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 5: To what Matt Naggy told you, James is he's become 393 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,640 Speaker 5: the ultimate leader now. His voice not only carries well, 394 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 5: but he's able to use his actions to sort of 395 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 5: fortify his own words. And most notably what is fascinating 396 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 5: to me is you know where she Rice is wide 397 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,679 Speaker 5: open for the game potential winning touchdown at the end 398 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,119 Speaker 5: of regulation. But because Creed Humphrey has a low snap 399 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 5: you know where she Rice doesn't know that. So Patrick 400 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 5: has to inform him in a very creative expletive manner 401 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 5: that hey, I still have control overall this. Okay, I'm 402 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 5: still gonna use you, I'm still gonna find you. Get 403 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 5: ready for the next series. We just tied the game up. 404 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 5: Keep your mind focused on what is necessary, not what 405 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 5: is behind us now, because I couldn't get you the 406 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 5: ball based on the scenario that was played out, So 407 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 5: Rashid Rice as a rookie, he obviously wants to make 408 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 5: a play, and then Patrick Mahomes obviously targets him on 409 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 5: a big third down conversion against the Blitz on a 410 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 5: drag route, and it just sort of proves to me that, yeah, 411 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,919 Speaker 5: he's the ultimate leader. Now he's become Manning, Tom Brady, 412 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 5: whoever you want to add to the list in terms 413 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,159 Speaker 5: of I have understood everything around me. 414 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 6: I know exactly what I need to say to get 415 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 6: out of. 416 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 5: The guys, and I still have the most talent of 417 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 5: anybody playing the hardest position in sports. 418 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 6: And when you combine all those things, all those ingredients. 419 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, a three pet, as I've said before, is very 420 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,199 Speaker 5: likely because the forty nine ers played so well for 421 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 5: about three quarters and it didn't matter. Guys, I have 422 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 5: to remind myself getting on the plane the Chiefs only 423 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 5: scored three points at half time. They won the game. 424 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,680 Speaker 5: They won the game scoring twenty five points. So yes, 425 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 5: he's reached a very very rare level. 426 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 2: Can imagine Patrick or Rashi Rice like chill out Sun, 427 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 2: remember where your bread is puttered? Any Taylor, thank you 428 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 2: so much for joining us giving that perspective. We come 429 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 2: back on the NFL Report. We're gonna hearty losers of 430 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl? What about that overtime? How come the 431 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,439 Speaker 2: players didn't know? We'll be joined by Matt Mayoko of 432 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:35,440 Speaker 2: NBC Sports Bay Area next on the NFL Report. That's 433 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 2: a wrap for the lead block presented by Team Mobile 434 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 2: for Business, a sport as fast as football deserves America's 435 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:46,880 Speaker 2: fastest five G network. Businesses go further with Team Mobile 436 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 2: for Business. 437 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: Seven second six. 438 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 9: They aren't gonna snap it and Mahome's gonna roll to 439 00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 9: his right. 440 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 10: Crows touchdown the change. I have won the Super Ball. 441 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 9: Nicole Hardman as they roll Mahomes ride, McColl hardman is 442 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 9: ride Open, and the Chiks run the super Ball back 443 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 9: to back years. 444 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,120 Speaker 10: Another heartbreaking loss for Kyle. 445 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 6: Shana am Turgot. 446 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 2: Okay, that was the game called That's Greg, Poppa and JP. 447 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 2: You could hear the pain in almost disgust in Greg's voice. 448 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 2: And so now let's bring in Matt Mayoko of NBC 449 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 2: Sports Bay Area. Matth this is not the first time 450 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:37,640 Speaker 2: you've had to chronicle a Niners shortcoming. But the storyline 451 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 2: right now is the fact that some players said they 452 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 2: did not know the overtime playoff rules. Walk us through 453 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 2: what's going on, and frankly, is it that big of 454 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,679 Speaker 2: an issue with the way things played out? 455 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 11: Yeah, I guess you want your guys to know the rules. 456 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 11: I don't know how that changes anything from a player's 457 00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 11: perspective though, but yeah, it does seem body. And you know, 458 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 11: it wasn't like, you know, this was their first playoff game. 459 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 11: You know, they they had a bye week and then 460 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 11: they faced Green Bay, then they played Detroit in the 461 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,919 Speaker 11: in the NFC Championship Game, and then of course a 462 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 11: bye week and then the Super Bowl. So it's not 463 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 11: like this was the first game that they played under 464 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 11: those new rules. It seems to me that over the 465 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 11: course of the playoffs, everybody would be a maid made 466 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 11: aware of the rules. So, yeah, that is that's kind 467 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 11: of odd to say the least, and especially when you're 468 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 11: talking about you know, some of the smartest guys on 469 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 11: the team didn't even know those rules. So we're going 470 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 11: to speak with with Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch in 471 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,199 Speaker 11: a little bit here in a couple hours, and so 472 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 11: I'll definitely ask about that, just to see if that's 473 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 11: something that they h that it was an oversight or 474 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,880 Speaker 11: did they feel like maybe they're just giving the players 475 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 11: too much information At that point, they just run the 476 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 11: play that's called and we'll handle everything else. Maybe they 477 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 11: just didn't want to cloud the players thought in their 478 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 11: head with more information than they needed. I don't know. 479 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 11: It seems odd to me, but we'll we'll see what 480 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:07,239 Speaker 11: he has to say about that. 481 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 3: Now with that real quick because I'm kind of on 482 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 3: the same thinking as you, like, the players execute what 483 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 3: is called. So I'm looking at it from why is 484 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 3: this steered more towards right now? And maybe I'm missing something? 485 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 3: Tell me if I am honestly more towards we're hearing 486 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 3: the players not knowing what the overtime rules were, and 487 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 3: less about why did they take the ball first? Because 488 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 3: you're putting Patrick Mahomes in a position where he can 489 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 3: go four down territory the entire drive essentially, and that 490 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 3: almost seems a little bit more difficult and with him 491 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 3: knowing what he has to accomplish. 492 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 11: Yeah, James, I didn't have any issue with it, and 493 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 11: I'll tell you whyse was absolutely gassed. You know they were. 494 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,160 Speaker 11: Remember that defense was on the field for a ten 495 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 11: play drive that lasted one fifty so we're talking rapid 496 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 11: fire succession and you could tell by the end of 497 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 11: that drive that in it regulation with the short field 498 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 11: goal that the forty Aers defense needed a breather the 499 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,360 Speaker 11: other So to put the defense right back out there 500 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,640 Speaker 11: on the field I don't think was the right call 501 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 11: at all. But I think Kyle Sheenihan's decision making, or 502 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 11: at least his explanation was a little bit flawed because 503 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,679 Speaker 11: he didn't even bring that part of it up. He 504 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:25,199 Speaker 11: said the main reason because of they wanted the third possession, 505 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 11: and you know, on face value, I don't necessarily disagree 506 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 11: with that but it seemed to me that the forty 507 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,360 Speaker 11: ers had predetermined this is what we're going to do, 508 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 11: this is what the analytics say is best without taking 509 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 11: the game circumstances into account. And so I had no 510 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 11: issue with them deciding to take the ball first because 511 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 11: of the standpoint of it would have been putting the 512 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 11: defense in a really bad position. So I didn't have 513 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,719 Speaker 11: any with that. The other part of it is, and 514 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 11: I know it's Patrick Mahomes on the other side, and 515 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,239 Speaker 11: you just kind of throw out everything you've seen up 516 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 11: to that point, but the Kansas City Chiefs had really 517 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 11: not gotten into the end zone at all up to 518 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 11: that point, other other than a one play, sixteen yard 519 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,400 Speaker 11: drive that was set up on a quick turnaround where 520 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,639 Speaker 11: the defense had to get back out there after the 521 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,440 Speaker 11: month pun So, you know, settling for the field goal, 522 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 11: I have no issue with that. You know, fourth and four, 523 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,399 Speaker 11: take the points because your defense up to that point 524 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,400 Speaker 11: had been doing the job of keeping Kansas City out 525 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 11: of the out of the end zone. So you know what, 526 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 11: when you lose the Super Bowl and one hundred and 527 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 11: twenty three million people are watching, of course there's going 528 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 11: to be second guessing. And the reason they're second guessing 529 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 11: is because it didn't turn out the way the forty 530 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:47,440 Speaker 11: nine ers wanted it to. So everything, overtime, play calling, 531 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 11: everything is open to second guessing. 532 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, you lose, you have to find a goat, and 533 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 2: not the positive goat, but the old the old definition 534 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 2: of goat of someone to dumping off. And I'm a 535 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 2: hundred percent with you in terms of I'm taking the ball. 536 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 2: People forget they had two opportunities right down there, wide 537 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,680 Speaker 2: open to get into the end zone. They just did 538 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 2: not capitalize. In overtime. Inflation of saying we wanted to 539 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,199 Speaker 2: have third possession, the chiefs were like, if we're going 540 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,439 Speaker 2: to go seventy five on these guys, we'll go for 541 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 2: two because that means we got them where they want it. 542 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 6: But I want to I want to get to this now. 543 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 2: When we talk about scapegoats, we'll make it that way 544 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 2: in case we don't confuse the goat analysis. 545 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 6: Is anything coming. 546 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 2: Brock Perty's way, because I thought Brock played fine against 547 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,400 Speaker 2: one of the best defenses in the NFL. 548 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 11: Yeah, I don't think so. No, I think brock Purdy 549 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 11: played well enough to win this game. In fact, you 550 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 11: know who's your game MVP. If the forty nine ers 551 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 11: make that stop on fourth and one in overtime, it's 552 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 11: probably a Rock Purty, isn't it. I Mean some people 553 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 11: might say Juwan jen but you know Juwan Jennings, the 554 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 11: boasted did have a good game. A few mistackles there, 555 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 11: but yeah, you know who's who's going to be the 556 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:05,119 Speaker 11: the m v P. Rock Purty was was solid. You know, 557 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 11: he he didn't have a great game. He didn't give 558 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 11: the ball to the other team at all. I think 559 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 11: he basically did you know what he was supposed to do, 560 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 11: you know, and again like the fred Anders, didn't make 561 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 11: the plays that were necessary, and that goes down to 562 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:24,160 Speaker 11: you know, a blown pass protection, a blown assignment on 563 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 11: the third and four play overtime. You know, they weren't 564 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:32,360 Speaker 11: good on third downs throughout the game on offense. They 565 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 11: weren't good on third downs when they had to be 566 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 11: good on defense. So you know, there were a lot 567 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 11: of pactors. I mean, you know who's the goat of 568 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,719 Speaker 11: this game? You know, probably history will we'll tell you 569 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 11: that it's Kyle Shanahan. Again, you know, because of all 570 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 11: the history there too. I mean we're talking about a 571 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:55,199 Speaker 11: very star crossed postseason and and a Super Bowl. Uh, 572 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 11: you know all the history of the Super Bowl with him, 573 00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 11: So I mean, he will probably be the guy that 574 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 11: takes the run of this. But you know, you're talking 575 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 11: about a coach that in what four postseasons with the 576 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 11: forty nine ers, they have eight victories and four defeats. 577 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,199 Speaker 11: So you know, his six sixty seven win percentage in 578 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 11: the postseason is pretty darn good. But nobody cares about 579 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 11: that unless you win the final game of the season. 580 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,959 Speaker 11: And you know, at this stage in his career, you know, 581 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,879 Speaker 11: now you're starting to wonder, Wow, if not Sunday in 582 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,879 Speaker 11: Super Bowl fifty eight, then when will it ever happen 583 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:31,680 Speaker 11: for Kyle Shanahan and the forty nine Ers. 584 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:34,680 Speaker 1: That's wild to think. 585 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 3: I want to touch on this game one more time 586 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 3: before we look back Matt in this game so much 587 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 3: about matchups, about adjustments and what you do, and Steve 588 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 3: Wilkes and his unit and what they had in place 589 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 3: for Travis Kelsey in the first half what one catch 590 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 3: for one yard? Obviously in the second half you try 591 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 3: to find different ways to free him up. What was 592 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 3: being said in the locker room and the people you 593 00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 3: spoke with about maybe Wilkes's playing for Kelsey and specifically 594 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 3: for the receivers, maybe playing off at times was what 595 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 3: was the discussion there in your opinion on the way 596 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 3: the defense played specifically in the second half, well, just like. 597 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 11: In the NFC Championship Ship game a year ago, and 598 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 11: injury played a significant role in this. Dray green Lot 599 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 11: and Fred Warner are in my mind the best two 600 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 11: inside linebackers in the game with their ability to go 601 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 11: sideline to sideline, their athleticism, their coverage ability, and so 602 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 11: when dra Greenlaw was on the field, Travis Kelce had 603 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 11: one catch one yard. When Dray Greenlaw left the lineup 604 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 11: left the field on a cart. They actually left the 605 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 11: sideline on a cart in that very in That was 606 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 11: a game changing, you know. So that was something that 607 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 11: you know, when you replace him with a player who's 608 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 11: not nearly as good as him, and then that means 609 00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 11: the third linebacker coming in isn't as good as you know, 610 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 11: the I should say, the fourth linebacker coming in isn't 611 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 11: as good as the third linebacker. That just has a 612 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 11: cumulative effect. Now I'm not saying trust me, I'm not 613 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 11: saying that if Drake Greenlaw we're out there. He would 614 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 11: have been Travis Kelsey would have been held to one 615 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 11: catch for one yard in the second half. But you 616 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 11: can't tell me that that did not play some kind 617 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 11: of role. 618 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 2: True, it absolutely did, because you can scheme things differently, 619 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 2: real quick, Matt. Moving forward, we know Brandon Aiyuk, he 620 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 2: can be hitting free agency Chase Young. How out of 621 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 2: the Niners keep this nucleus together or do they want 622 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 2: to keep this nucleus together? 623 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 11: Oh, They're going to keep the nucleus together, there's no question. 624 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 11: And I would say Brandon Ayuk is priority number one. 625 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 11: In the off season, he turned into a really good 626 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 11: route runner, wide receiver, just all around, you know, blockers, everything, 627 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 11: he's everything in the fourty yards a lot out of 628 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 11: the wide receiver position. And so how do they keep 629 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 11: it together? I'll tell you they keep it together by 630 00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 11: having one of the top quarterbacks in the league making 631 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 11: them million dollars. You know, he's basically he's making forty 632 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 11: five to fifty times or under what he should be making. 633 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 11: So they're able to keep that roster together. But no, 634 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,960 Speaker 11: I mean there's issues. I mean there's areas where they 635 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 11: need to shore up. I think they need to look 636 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 11: at the interior of their offensive line. They probably need 637 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 11: more depth of cornerback. They probably need another wide receiver. 638 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 11: So there are areas that whether they will look at. 639 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 11: I don't Chase. I don't think Chase Young is coming back. 640 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 11: I mean that was kind of seen as a half 641 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 11: the season rental when they got him in that trade 642 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 11: from Washington. You know, they got Randy Gregory. It would hard. 643 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 11: It's hard for me to believe that that he's coming 644 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 11: back as well. No, I don't think they're going to 645 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 11: keep pay a big sum of money to keep any 646 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 11: of their their free agents. The good thing for them 647 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 11: is there's not a whole lot of free agents, so 648 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 11: the nucleus of the team is you know, Trent Williams, 649 00:31:53,360 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 11: Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle, Deebo, Samuel rock Purdy, all those 650 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 11: Arias Ward, all those guys are coming back because you 651 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 11: know they can afford it because of the quarterback situation. 652 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 11: It's when they have to pay rock Purty, which will 653 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 11: be a year from now, and even then the first 654 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 11: year of his contract is going to have a very 655 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,960 Speaker 11: low cap number. But when they have to start paying 656 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 11: brock Purty, like in relation to what the production they 657 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 11: get out of Rock Party, that's when they're going to 658 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 11: have to start having some salary cap issues and start 659 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 11: making some difficult decisions. But by then there might be 660 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 11: some obvious decisions to make. As far as veteran guys, 661 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 11: that's time to kind of move aside. But I mean, 662 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 11: it's so tough to get back here in the for Airs. 663 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 11: You know, they've been in the final four of the 664 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 11: NFL for for the past five years that now they've 665 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 11: lost in the Super Bowl two of those five years. 666 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 11: It's really difficult to get back here, and just being 667 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,479 Speaker 11: around the team and seeing that long, long road and 668 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 11: then the heartbreak after they fall short. But there's no 669 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 11: reason to think that the forty Ares cannot be a 670 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 11: competitive team again next season and give it another run 671 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 11: for a championship. 672 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 1: I'll just say this, Matt. 673 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,400 Speaker 3: I'm not saying anything that you don't know, but maybe 674 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 3: the rest of America should pay more attention. When I 675 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 3: was talking with Jerrusneaed on the field after the game, 676 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 3: he was talking about Brandon Nuyuk like he was trying 677 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 3: to guard Jerry Rice. The amount of respect that Sneed 678 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,479 Speaker 3: had for Brandon Uyuk was through the Roof for what 679 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 3: he had to handle throughout the course of that game. 680 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 3: Matt appreciate it even I always love talking the ball 681 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 3: with you.

Had a nice dinner at 702 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 10: the California Pizza Kitchen before that at the airport. Got 703 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 10: a lot going on here, guys, But I'm doing well. 704 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:52,959 Speaker 6: Strong, strong, Okay. 705 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,080 Speaker 2: So Ian, We're coming off the Super Bowl, which means 706 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 2: we are now into draft season, and over the weekend 707 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:03,360 Speaker 2: you were reported that the Chicago Bears are saying it 708 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:08,080 Speaker 2: would take basically historic type of compensation for them to 709 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,759 Speaker 2: come off the number one pick. Is this part of 710 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 2: the pre draft game that they're playing, saying, Hey, if 711 00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:17,319 Speaker 2: you want to come up, you're gonna have to give 712 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,520 Speaker 2: us a lot or are they serious about that? 713 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 6: Yeah? 714 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,279 Speaker 10: My feel is that they're very serious about it. 715 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:22,640 Speaker 6: And you're right. 716 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 10: I mean this has wide ranging ramifications about draft season. 717 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,400 Speaker 10: It also affects free agency. Well, let's go into the 718 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,840 Speaker 10: draft part of it first. I believe it to be 719 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 10: very true that the Bears would need historic, crazy compensation 720 00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:37,960 Speaker 10: to come off one. That goes to show you how 721 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,160 Speaker 10: special they think Cale Williams is. 722 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:40,319 Speaker 9: Now. 723 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:41,920 Speaker 10: I know they're not there yet. They're still trying to 724 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:43,839 Speaker 10: get to know him as a person. A lot that 725 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,320 Speaker 10: goes into this evaluation, but that is where it stands 726 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:49,640 Speaker 10: right now with the Bears and with Caleb Williams. If 727 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,160 Speaker 10: they're going to make a move, if they're going to 728 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:54,120 Speaker 10: give up on a quarterback that they believe can be 729 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:58,320 Speaker 10: a franchise quarterback, then it would take something special. And look, 730 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:00,360 Speaker 10: you never get the chance to draft umber one. The 731 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:01,960 Speaker 10: fact that they got the chance to draft number one 732 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,759 Speaker 10: twice is just wild. And certainly they've made it count 733 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,560 Speaker 10: with the kind of draft picks that they have acquired 734 00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:09,759 Speaker 10: and that they have used and all of that. That 735 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,280 Speaker 10: seems to be where they stand now planning to pick 736 00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,439 Speaker 10: at number one. Unless something dramatically changes and they gets 737 00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 10: offered something crazy. That would be an indication that they 738 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,360 Speaker 10: would trade Justin Fields for the right price. They should 739 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,720 Speaker 10: be able to get premium draft pick compensation for Justin Fields. 740 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:28,400 Speaker 10: Really came on late in the season, looked excellent. It 741 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,920 Speaker 10: is a very very quarterback needy league. They're going to 742 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,320 Speaker 10: be able to get something really good for Fields. 743 00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,160 Speaker 3: I want to circle back to Fields in a minute, 744 00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:38,839 Speaker 3: but I want to stick with this picky and like, 745 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,919 Speaker 3: if a team like Washington wants to come up from two, 746 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:47,759 Speaker 3: if what you're saying obviously Chicago wants, what would they 747 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,960 Speaker 3: have to give up because that's only going one spot. 748 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,279 Speaker 3: They're probably going to say, we can't give up this much. 749 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,520 Speaker 3: We're only going from two to one. Does it almost 750 00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,600 Speaker 3: make it harder for a team that's closer to Chicago 751 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,600 Speaker 3: to try to get up to that one spot? 752 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,480 Speaker 10: Well, I think it's you're going to pay premium anyway 753 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,600 Speaker 10: if it's a quarterback. If it's a quarterback trade, you're 754 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 10: gonna pay a lot. I mean, I remember when the 755 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,480 Speaker 10: Bears came up over the forty nine ers for Trubisky 756 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,160 Speaker 10: and it was I believe it was a two and 757 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 10: change if I remember. I could be wrong, but I 758 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:19,719 Speaker 10: think that's what it was. You guys can look it 759 00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:23,200 Speaker 10: up while I'm talking, and you know that was for 760 00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,280 Speaker 10: That was for a quarterback. That's what it costs one spot, 761 00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:28,400 Speaker 10: from three to two, at least to two, I would 762 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,640 Speaker 10: imagine to go from two to one, it would be 763 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,600 Speaker 10: at least a one and probably more. Because we could 764 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,799 Speaker 10: talk about the picks all we want. We could say 765 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:40,640 Speaker 10: from five to three, from nine to three, from three 766 00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,480 Speaker 10: to one, use the numbers all you want. But this 767 00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,480 Speaker 10: is about players. It is about franchise quarterbacks. So the 768 00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:48,640 Speaker 10: question is that what it costs to get from two 769 00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,120 Speaker 10: to one. The question is what does it cost for 770 00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:54,239 Speaker 10: the Bears to give up on the opportunity to draft 771 00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 10: Caleb Williams, who most people believe is a franchise quarterback. 772 00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,440 Speaker 10: That's the value you're talking about. Whether it's from you know, 773 00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,040 Speaker 10: one to two or one to nine, it is going 774 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,279 Speaker 10: to be incredibly expensive because it would have to be 775 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,120 Speaker 10: worth it for the Bears to say we are okay 776 00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,640 Speaker 10: not drafting this guy. Now, if you're the forty nine ers, 777 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:15,120 Speaker 10: you have Cliff Kingsbury coach kil Williams exploring it absolutely 778 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,520 Speaker 10: makes sense. I just don't know that it's actually going 779 00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:18,239 Speaker 10: to happen. 780 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,879 Speaker 2: Right, I mean, the commander is right there. But Ian, 781 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,319 Speaker 2: here's here's an interesting thing and humor me on this. 782 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:30,080 Speaker 2: Let's say Washington and Chicago make that move. Chicago could 783 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,880 Speaker 2: now say who wants to come to two and possibly 784 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:34,840 Speaker 2: get that. 785 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:36,120 Speaker 6: Pick and dangle. 786 00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,200 Speaker 2: So they could really that to me when you when 787 00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:41,400 Speaker 2: you reported the historic Hall, to me, that is the 788 00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:45,959 Speaker 2: potential chess game that Ryan Poles could be playing here. 789 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,759 Speaker 10: I mean you could go from one to two with 790 00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:52,080 Speaker 10: the Commanders for let's say a first round pick and 791 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,320 Speaker 10: more probably just to move from one to two, and 792 00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:58,479 Speaker 10: you could go from two to five, th to nine. 793 00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,320 Speaker 10: There's a lot of different places, or six where the 794 00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:04,360 Speaker 10: Giants that Giants are at six. Right, you know, you 795 00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,200 Speaker 10: could move back, you could collect first rounders, you could 796 00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:10,160 Speaker 10: have endless first rounders. It could be the greatest draft 797 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,040 Speaker 10: trade in the history of the world. I would compare 798 00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,440 Speaker 10: that to what if Justin Fields is not the franchise 799 00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,239 Speaker 10: quarterback you think, or what if whoever else do you 800 00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:22,560 Speaker 10: take is not Cale Williams. Draft picks are awesome. You 801 00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 10: want draft picks, you want everything you possibly can get. 802 00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:29,319 Speaker 10: But all that is against the back job of if 803 00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,560 Speaker 10: you have ca Let's say Kle Williams is Mahomes, Let's 804 00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:35,640 Speaker 10: say he's Josh Allen, let's say he's Joe Burrow. Is 805 00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:38,879 Speaker 10: anything worth it? Honestly, is any draft pick compensation worth 806 00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,400 Speaker 10: it to say we're okay not having him for ten years? 807 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:41,919 Speaker 6: Yep? 808 00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,200 Speaker 3: And I listened to that, And what clicks in my 809 00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,840 Speaker 3: head is when you have that player and you didn't 810 00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,160 Speaker 3: have to give up picks to get him is even 811 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,680 Speaker 3: more important. Because we're looking at a team in Denver 812 00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,560 Speaker 3: that thought they were getting a franchise pick, gave up 813 00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,160 Speaker 3: a number of picks to get him, and then you 814 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,400 Speaker 3: look at the situation that you find yoursel helf in. 815 00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:02,600 Speaker 3: If that's not the guy, it's different if it's not 816 00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:04,600 Speaker 3: the guy and he didn't give up the hall for him. 817 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,800 Speaker 3: Look at Denver. Now, where do we go with Russell Wilson? 818 00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:12,040 Speaker 3: You mentioned it's a quarterback needy kind of off season. 819 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:15,360 Speaker 3: What could maybe be some potential landing spots if he leaves, 820 00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:19,320 Speaker 3: and legitimately, because you talked about this on Sunday, legitimately 821 00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:20,839 Speaker 3: the chance he stays. 822 00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 10: Well, let me start first, it's more likely than not 823 00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:26,600 Speaker 10: that he goes as opposed to stay, like the kind 824 00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:29,680 Speaker 10: of season he had, he got benched, he threatened all 825 00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:33,000 Speaker 10: sorts of stuff through his people with the NFLPA to 826 00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,600 Speaker 10: the issue with the way that Denver Broncos handled his 827 00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:39,120 Speaker 10: contract situation despite the fact that it was fully within 828 00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,920 Speaker 10: the rules, and eventually all this got sort of dropped 829 00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:45,799 Speaker 10: and handled. Could stay. And the reason I could say 830 00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,520 Speaker 10: I'd say he theoretically could stay is the boke might 831 00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,279 Speaker 10: go out there and go. You know what, we got 832 00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:53,680 Speaker 10: to put a differences behind because it is better to 833 00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,880 Speaker 10: be together than it is apart. If you're together, Russell 834 00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,040 Speaker 10: Wilson doesn't have to find a landing spot, and the 835 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:02,759 Speaker 10: Broncos don't need to a quarterback who can compete with 836 00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,360 Speaker 10: what they have already on the roster and Jared Stidham, 837 00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:09,000 Speaker 10: So coming together at least sort of makes sense. As 838 00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:10,960 Speaker 10: far as the landing spot, I think what Russell Wilson 839 00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,560 Speaker 10: will be looking at, or probably should be looking at, 840 00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:15,400 Speaker 10: is a place where he can go in and be 841 00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:17,960 Speaker 10: a bridge guy for a young quarterback. Maybe he starts 842 00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,960 Speaker 10: all year and actually teaches. Maybe he starts for the 843 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,479 Speaker 10: first couple of games and that guy takes over. That's 844 00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:26,879 Speaker 10: where Russell Wilson is in his career, and if he's realistic, 845 00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:28,640 Speaker 10: then I think he could end up having a really 846 00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:30,760 Speaker 10: good couple of years to finish this thing out. 847 00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,759 Speaker 2: Well, the contract is what's going to be a huge 848 00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:35,520 Speaker 2: driver of this because no team is really going to 849 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:37,760 Speaker 2: want to take on that salary. 850 00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:39,560 Speaker 6: And there could be teams you say, you know what, but. 851 00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:43,239 Speaker 10: They wouldn't, but they wouldn't have to because suit let's 852 00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:46,839 Speaker 10: say the Broncos cut him or trade him and take 853 00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:49,120 Speaker 10: on the whole salary, then it's gonna be minimum. So 854 00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,080 Speaker 10: if you're signing Russell Wilson. You're signing him for a 855 00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:52,040 Speaker 10: million dollars and that's it. 856 00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,759 Speaker 2: Thank you for that clarity. That's hugely important and I'm 857 00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,759 Speaker 2: glad you brought that up. Let's move on though, you 858 00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:01,360 Speaker 2: know we earlier, you know we spoke about the Chiefs 859 00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:04,560 Speaker 2: and Niners. Brandon Ayuk, Chase young guys like that for 860 00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:09,239 Speaker 2: the Niners, Chris Jones, luxurious Need, superstars like that for 861 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:13,600 Speaker 2: both teams. Is there any realistic chance like any of 862 00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,640 Speaker 2: these guys could be back with their respect to teams. 863 00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:19,080 Speaker 10: Yeah, let's start with the Chiefs first, right, So you 864 00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,279 Speaker 10: got Lagarius Sneed, who's in the final year of his deal, 865 00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,719 Speaker 10: just finished the final year of his deal. Absolutely a 866 00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,799 Speaker 10: franchise tag candidate. He is a great player. We can 867 00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,359 Speaker 10: talk all we want about roster building from Brett Veach 868 00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:31,520 Speaker 10: and all this, like this is how you do it right, 869 00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:34,000 Speaker 10: You find mid round picks and then become superstars. This 870 00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:35,520 Speaker 10: is literally how you do it. Forty nine Ers have 871 00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:37,360 Speaker 10: a few two, don't get me wrong, But for the 872 00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:39,520 Speaker 10: Chiefs this is how you do it. So I would 873 00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:42,799 Speaker 10: expect him probably to be back. Chris Jones is hard. 874 00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,239 Speaker 10: He basically can't be franchise tagers the number would be 875 00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:47,719 Speaker 10: too high. There's a lot of good feelings between him 876 00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,440 Speaker 10: and the Chiefs. There's also a lot of discussions that 877 00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:53,879 Speaker 10: they've had. James knows it's gotten tough. Contract wise, it's 878 00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:56,000 Speaker 10: been tough. The fact that he's back this year, I'm 879 00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,000 Speaker 10: dawled out, means his price tag is going to be 880 00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:01,560 Speaker 10: very high. Could be back, but I don't feel like 881 00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:05,000 Speaker 10: that's a guarantee at all. And you know, third contract 882 00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:11,280 Speaker 10: for veterans is not generally the way that championship teams build, James, 883 00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:13,520 Speaker 10: I mean that is that what do you think you 884 00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:14,880 Speaker 10: know the Chiefs as well as knowing am I on 885 00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:15,440 Speaker 10: building on that? 886 00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:18,759 Speaker 1: That's no, You're You're completely accurate on that. 887 00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:22,359 Speaker 3: And there's been a sense in Chris's camp that watch 888 00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,480 Speaker 3: us ball out this year and watch the number continue 889 00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:26,440 Speaker 3: to rise. And I think the last game he played, 890 00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:28,520 Speaker 3: maybe the last game he plays in the Chiefs uniform, 891 00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:30,799 Speaker 3: was just as good as we've seen him play. I mean, 892 00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:33,719 Speaker 3: he was as disruptive to that Super Bowl as we 893 00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:35,839 Speaker 3: saw anybody else on the field and played a huge 894 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,319 Speaker 3: part in it. That only helps Chris Jones, and that 895 00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,120 Speaker 3: only helps where it's at when he mentioned the negotiations, 896 00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,080 Speaker 3: I think you do have to put into account and 897 00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:45,000 Speaker 3: you remember the first time he was going to get 898 00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:49,720 Speaker 3: paid and how he handled that. Chris, it doesn't matter 899 00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,440 Speaker 3: whether there's money or not. He will handle this a 900 00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:55,200 Speaker 3: little bit differently than some of the other players around 901 00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:56,440 Speaker 3: the league, because Chris is. 902 00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,480 Speaker 1: Wired a little bit differently. Real quickly. 903 00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:02,279 Speaker 3: In the other side of things, Niners Auk and Chase 904 00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:03,560 Speaker 3: Young thoughts thoughts there. 905 00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:06,320 Speaker 1: Because Brandon I Yuk is a number one wide receiver. 906 00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:09,600 Speaker 10: Yes, right now, he has another year in his deal. 907 00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:11,719 Speaker 10: He's got the fifth year option that was picked up, 908 00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:15,520 Speaker 10: so he's got twenty twenty four under contract. My understanding 909 00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,200 Speaker 10: extension candidates, So when the forty nine ers want to 910 00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:21,839 Speaker 10: keep home now, I mean I saw his Instagram post. 911 00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:23,600 Speaker 10: I think he wanted more targets in the Super Bowl. 912 00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,600 Speaker 10: Definitely get it. Seemed more like social media frustration than 913 00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:27,200 Speaker 10: anything else. 914 00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:27,920 Speaker 6: You know. 915 00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,480 Speaker 10: I look, I guess anybody could be traded, right, I mean, 916 00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:33,279 Speaker 10: he's a really good player. Somebody would absolutely like him. 917 00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:38,640 Speaker 10: Just seems to me that allowing homegrown talent to move 918 00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:43,319 Speaker 10: on for no reason, you know, probably is not the 919 00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:45,239 Speaker 10: way to do it. Well, we'll see, but you know 920 00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:48,120 Speaker 10: that would be my sense there. And then Chase Young 921 00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:50,640 Speaker 10: came over in the trade, absolutely had some up and downs, 922 00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:52,839 Speaker 10: did have a sack on the Super Bowl. You know, 923 00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:54,640 Speaker 10: I don't get the sensus is so when they're going 924 00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:57,680 Speaker 10: to be rushing and resigned, feels more like go out 925 00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:00,640 Speaker 10: test the market, see what's there. See if you liked 926 00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,080 Speaker 10: it in San Francisco to come in and my guess 927 00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:05,000 Speaker 10: it ends up being a one year deal, prove it deal, 928 00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,719 Speaker 10: which would be a good circumstance for him, no doubt. 929 00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:10,520 Speaker 1: In talking about going out and testing the market. 930 00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,759 Speaker 3: Hassan Reddick, this was kind of late news that we 931 00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:16,680 Speaker 3: all are hearing of him going out and being granted 932 00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:20,160 Speaker 3: permission to seek a trade. I'm curious how he ties 933 00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:21,400 Speaker 3: in to what's. 934 00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:22,200 Speaker 1: Going on in Philadelphia. 935 00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:24,520 Speaker 3: This is a guy that played at Temple from Philly, 936 00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:28,960 Speaker 3: obviously loved playing at home. Is there any talk about 937 00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:33,840 Speaker 3: the building and or is this just Hassan specific because 938 00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:37,600 Speaker 3: he's still a really, really good player, has somehow flown 939 00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:39,440 Speaker 3: under the radar in a lot of people around the 940 00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:40,360 Speaker 3: league's mind. 941 00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:43,319 Speaker 10: Yeah, I see what you're saying. You're wondering if it's 942 00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:45,279 Speaker 10: more like him or is he like trying to get 943 00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:47,359 Speaker 10: out of Philly. I don't get the sense he's trying 944 00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:49,399 Speaker 10: to get out of Philly, you know, I don't get 945 00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:52,600 Speaker 10: the sense he's like this place is not for me. 946 00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:56,520 Speaker 10: It's more business. It's he has played under a contract. 947 00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,680 Speaker 10: At the time it was a very very good contact 948 00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,120 Speaker 10: track and he had sixteen sacks or whatever it was. 949 00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:04,360 Speaker 10: I think that was about sixteen sacks last year. I 950 00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:06,759 Speaker 10: think ten or eleven more this year. He is a 951 00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:10,920 Speaker 10: great player, and my understanding leaves he deserves a new contract. 952 00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:14,040 Speaker 10: Absolutely understand that everyone should get as much money as 953 00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:17,200 Speaker 10: humanly possible. That is what started this conversation with a 954 00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:20,240 Speaker 10: son Reddick is can if the Eagles are not gonna, 955 00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:22,319 Speaker 10: you know, ante up and give him what he wants? 956 00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:25,279 Speaker 10: Will some team I know there's interest. I know that 957 00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:27,640 Speaker 10: there is interest. In my sense is somebody absolutely will 958 00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:30,400 Speaker 10: pay him what he wants. So you know him being 959 00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:33,520 Speaker 10: like I know he likes Philly and lights the fans 960 00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:35,719 Speaker 10: all of that. There's the business side of it, and 961 00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:37,880 Speaker 10: everyone should do as much as humidly possible to make 962 00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:39,319 Speaker 10: as much much money as they can. 963 00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:41,920 Speaker 2: He's such a good player and I don't see why 964 00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:44,000 Speaker 2: they wouldn't work something out, but like you said, there 965 00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:47,360 Speaker 2: will be a market for Hassan Reddick. I appreciates you 966 00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:50,480 Speaker 2: taking out some time, great stuff shedding some light on 967 00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:52,719 Speaker 2: some of those things. And when we come back on 968 00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:55,560 Speaker 2: the NFL Report, could it be a Chief three p 969 00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:59,400 Speaker 2: Could the Niners get back? Who is the biggest threat 970 00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:01,799 Speaker 2: to be super teams? We'll pay you next on the 971 00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:02,840 Speaker 2: NFL Report. 972 00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:04,200 Speaker 6: Pull the tape, Elsie. 973 00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,600 Speaker 10: This is Trent McDuffie, all Pro Corner with the Kansas 974 00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:16,600 Speaker 10: City Chiefs, and this is the NFL Report. 975 00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:18,160 Speaker 1: Welcome back to the NFL port. 976 00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:19,839 Speaker 3: As we closed this up, it was funny I saw 977 00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:22,160 Speaker 3: a tweet Steve during the Super Bowl as somebody put out, 978 00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:25,239 Speaker 3: every you know, our team could really use a Trent McDuffie, 979 00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:27,440 Speaker 3: and I've responded, every team could really use a. 980 00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:31,080 Speaker 1: Trent mcduffee exactly. He's that good of a player. 981 00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:34,120 Speaker 3: And speaking of Trent McDuffie and the Kansas City Chiefs, 982 00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:37,480 Speaker 3: Chiefs Niners, Steve in the Super Bowl this season, who 983 00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,880 Speaker 3: could we potentially see knock one of these two teams 984 00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,839 Speaker 3: out and find themselves in the Super Bowl next year. 985 00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:45,160 Speaker 1: I'll have you go first. 986 00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,520 Speaker 2: Whoa I mean this is tough because this was supposed 987 00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:49,439 Speaker 2: to be the year where you got Kansas City right 988 00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:52,360 Speaker 2: where their tackles weren't great, they were getting penalized, the 989 00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:54,880 Speaker 2: receivers aren't great. Well, let's look at you've gotta go. 990 00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:57,160 Speaker 2: You gotta look at the Cincinnati Bengals because they have 991 00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:00,279 Speaker 2: been a thorn with the Chiefs. If Joey Burrow comes 992 00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:02,279 Speaker 2: back healthy, now, if they they've got to keep T 993 00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:04,600 Speaker 2: Higgins to possibly be a part of that. We know 994 00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:08,400 Speaker 2: he set the hit free agency and within the division. JP, 995 00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:13,040 Speaker 2: I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do it. Jim Harball, 996 00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:17,560 Speaker 2: I don't have faith in them going to the Super Bowl, 997 00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:20,439 Speaker 2: but they're gonna be a thorn for the Chiefs. They're 998 00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:23,400 Speaker 2: gonna make it hard within the division. 999 00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:27,400 Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, I will say one. I mean this is 1000 00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:30,360 Speaker 3: this is an easy one. This is not a far stretch. 1001 00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:34,520 Speaker 3: The Baltimore Ravens played essentially one bad half, uh, and 1002 00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:36,520 Speaker 3: they didn't get to the super Bowl. The Ravens are 1003 00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:39,759 Speaker 3: still right there. We saw Lamar play an unbelievably high level. 1004 00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:42,000 Speaker 3: We saw the defense play like the best defense in 1005 00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:46,120 Speaker 3: all of football. They're definitely still in the conversation if 1006 00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:49,520 Speaker 3: we're gonna go outside, like you said, with the Chargers 1007 00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:52,279 Speaker 3: making a big run in their first year with Jim 1008 00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:54,040 Speaker 3: Harbaugh as their head coach, I'm gonna go with a 1009 00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:56,839 Speaker 3: team that had a run with their first year head 1010 00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,680 Speaker 3: coach this season, and that's the Houston Texans. For a 1011 00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:03,360 Speaker 3: few you are now a destination down there in Houston. 1012 00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:07,640 Speaker 3: You have Damiko Ryans, you have CJ. Stroud and Will Anderson, they. 1013 00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:10,440 Speaker 1: Swept NFL Honors, Steve. 1014 00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:13,479 Speaker 3: They had the offensive and defensive rookies of the Year, 1015 00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:16,640 Speaker 3: and now you have a boatload of salary cap space 1016 00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:19,880 Speaker 3: to go out and build around this young nucleus that 1017 00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:22,319 Speaker 3: we saw play so well. That is a team that 1018 00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:25,120 Speaker 3: won a playoff game when they lost more games than 1019 00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:27,359 Speaker 3: any team in football over the previous three They could 1020 00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:30,040 Speaker 3: be the team that sneaks maybe I don't know. 1021 00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:31,640 Speaker 1: Into the Super Bowl. That would be wild. 1022 00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:33,440 Speaker 3: I still think the Bills are right there with the 1023 00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:35,960 Speaker 3: back half of the season the way they played as well. 1024 00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:37,960 Speaker 3: If they can do that for the duration of a season, 1025 00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:41,080 Speaker 3: that would be something that obviously we'd like to see 1026 00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,440 Speaker 3: out of Buffalo.
