13
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: Morning Football podcast. I will solve it. Here are the

14
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: best moments this week so far at the Breakfast Table.

15
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: The Divisional round was as epic as it gets, from

16
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: a home playoff law streak broken at Arrowhead to a

17
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: late game interception to end the Folds magic. Let's find

18
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: out what the Breakfast Table thought about all the action

19
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: proved Divisional Round. I think Alshan Jeffrey handled that with class.

20
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: He got a lot of praise for the way he

21
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: handled what happened. The daily news on each other hand,

22
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: not so much. I was bringing Peter Schreger, who's on

23
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: the sidelines, and butter fingers. You see the shrikes come on.

24
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: Not cool, not cool. Okay, it's a heartbreaking scene. Actually,

25
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: as it happened, Nick Foles was the first person to

26
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: greet Alshon Jeffrey. And just to tell you what this

27
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: Eagles team is all about, Doug Peterson was right there

28
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: on the sideline and grasp them right away. A lot

29
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: of coaches might go the other way, but I could

30
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: tell you that locker room has Alshon Jefferies back. One

31
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 1: Eagles executive told me that's a catch he makes ninety

32
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 1: nine out of one hundred times. It was the perfect pass,

33
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: It was the perfect play. It just slipped through his fingers.

34
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: But this game was decided in the final three quarters.

35
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: Like you said, Kay, But the man to me was

36
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: not Drew Brees, It was not Mike Thomas. It was

37
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: mister Sean Payton. Sean Payton. They're down fourteen to nothing

38
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: on their own thirty yard line on fourth and one,

39
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: and what a Sean pay and dial up Taysom Hill

40
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: with a fake punt. It's the most aggressive play that

41
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: I could remember. The Saints calling since the on sidekick

42
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl against the Colts. This one got

43
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: the entire stadium back. It brought the team back and

44
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: they were on the brink of being down twenty one

45
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: to nothing at home three scores. Instead, they convert this,

46
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: they moved the ball and then on the same drive

47
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: on fourth and goal, Kyle showed the highlight it's a

48
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: pass to Keith Kirkwood for the touchdown score. Sean Payton

49
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: was not gonna go down fighting. And I can tell

50
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: you guys, when it was fourteen nothing in that dome

51
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: where it is so hard to win, you could have

52
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: heard a pin drop. Sean Payton with the fake punt call.

53
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: It is everything. Sean Payton is all about aggressiveness, never

54
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: giving up, never dying, and leaving it out there that game.

55
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: That game was won right there on that fake punt,

56
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: which gave the Saints life and they rolled from there

57
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: and never looked back. Sean Payton is my MVP of

58
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: the evening and I thought that fake punt was the

59
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: biggest play of the night. I'll have a battle of

60
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 1: the Shawn's they're out to doing. I'm surprise you didn't

61
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: even have a voice this morning. It was so loud.

62
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: Excellent work on the sidelines, and I see you work

63
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 1: and staying down there in New Worlds. So you don't

64
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: have to help dissemble disassemble the shrine, you don't have

65
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: to do any heavy lifting. You're the friend that doesn't

66
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: show up on moving day. Yeah, not for me, that's

67
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: for you guys. I don't even know what you're talking about.

68
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 1: Ken Peter's got a truck. Thanks so much, Triggs. Back

69
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: here at the table. Takeaways from this game. First, let

70
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: me say I'm done betting against the Saints, who that

71
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: nation was up. They absolutely did their thing. The crowd

72
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: was ruckius. The players were great on both sides of

73
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: the ball, and like Peter said, Sean Payne was unbelievable.

74
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: But can guard Mike just like a Twitter Hanmer, You

75
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: can't guard Mike. It was every situation, every scenario he

76
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: stepped up big. Michael Thomas was unbelievable. And we're talking

77
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: chain moving first downs, long second downs, big time third downs,

78
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: and in the red zone, he was unbelievable. I was

79
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: watching the game and I was saying to myself, what

80
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: kind of coverage can you give him? Because they were

81
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: trying zone. He lit that up, they went man to man,

82
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: he scores a touchdown. Like we're seeing right here, every

83
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: situation that you presented to Drew Brees and Mike Thomas

84
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: day conquered. I'm in at twelve catches one seventy one

85
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: single game playoff team record. The unbelievable part is that

86
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: they moved him around constantly. He was on different guys

87
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: and he kept that defense backing up on their heels.

88
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: This was a one man show. And if my man

89
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: Mike Thomas can continue to play like this, he can

90
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 1: carry his team right into the super Bowl and Drew

91
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: Brees will win another one. What I love about this

92
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: is I feel like, even though he's had such a

93
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: great season, Kyle, he still isn't known to the world,

94
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: and I love that given the if the NFC Championship

95
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: Game and potentially the Super Bowl, He's going to be

96
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: given that platform so the world can see what this

97
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: Coca led leading catches people recognize. I still don't think

98
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: people put him up with yesterday. He was the best

99
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: player whole other level. Friend, that was incredible. Um First

100
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 1: of all, for everybody tweeting, and there's a lot I'm

101
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: not wearing the barrel right now, but I will be

102
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: war in the barrel for Chiefs fans to stay tuned.

103
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 1: I promise it's here. By twit barrel. Twitter is big

104
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: right now, it's coming. I promise. I'm not going to

105
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: cop out as it pertains to this game. The Saints

106
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: deserved to win. They were the better team, they played

107
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: the better three quarters, they were home and everything. I

108
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: feel like football fans across the country deserved a better

109
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: ending than what we got. The whole Foles magic versus

110
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: the Saints. I feel like we were deprived of that

111
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 1: because the Foles magic wasn't killed. Nick Foles did not

112
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: make a mistake. Nick Foles did not blow it. If

113
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: at the end of that game, if the Saints stopped

114
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 1: him or sacked him or forced the eternal rundowns, they

115
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 1: did it. Or if full scores we got, we didn't

116
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: get a clean death. He put through a perfect pass

117
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: and went off the hands of all shine and you

118
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: saw this thing coming. I don't think it's telling the

119
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: highlight though, but leading up to this play, it was

120
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 1: set up by the incredible Michael Bennett defensive plate to

121
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: move the field goal back. Still, if Will Lutz makes

122
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: that field goal, it's a rape, one of the best

123
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: kickers in the league, kicking in it home, misses it,

124
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: they get a penalty. It's all setting up for the

125
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: quote unquote Foles magic, and he delivered it. For some reason,

126
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: in that moment, al Sean drops the ball that he

127
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: ken just ninety nine out of one hundred times. Ka.

128
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 1: It felt like the death of Nick Foles was like

129
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: the death of John Snow. It was weird. It wasn't right,

130
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: and that might be it probably will be the last

131
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: past that Nick Foles ever throws as an Eagle is one.

132
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 1: It was perfect in the biggest situation, and it was

133
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: an ugly sloppy and I wanted a clean death one

134
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: way or another, but you got I mean you wanted

135
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: a clean death. He was dead for three quarters. You

136
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 1: had the biggest drive of the game. He had it. Okay, Well,

137
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: you're saying the thing you're talking about magic the Eagles

138
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: drives after that first quarter. Let me read them to you. Interception, punt, punt, punt, punt,

139
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: punt interception. It was an interception sandwich. So he looked

140
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: more uncomfortable than I've ever seen Nick Foles. He looked

141
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: great in the first quarter. They scored less than the

142
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: less than one hundred yards for the remaining three. So

143
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: this was a This was a long illness for him,

144
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: and it was called being in the Dome and being

145
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: uncomfortable and having that defense played like it did. This

146
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: is the best defense left in the playoffs the same,

147
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: which is something that you would never think that you'd

148
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: say to a team that let the Bucks crush them

149
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: week one of this season. Look at where they've come

150
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: as a defense. If you take that Week seventeen game

151
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: against the Panthers out, and of course they rested their starter.

152
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: This team's allowing less than fifteen points a game over

153
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: the last eight. Their defense is tough. They get to

154
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: play at home. I don't want to hear about injuries

155
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,559
Speaker 1: to al Sean to flist to whatever punt punt, punt, punt,

156
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: two intersects. Let's make it personal, okay, you you're an

157
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: enthusiast for the Saints. You and I get it up

158
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: six points whals coming down the field. Can we all

159
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: say at the table, you weren't nervous that all the

160
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: foals is going to go down the field and score.

161
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: The Lutz thing made me nervous the whole time. It

162
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,119
Speaker 1: was crazy a stressful game. I couldn't believe you missed

163
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: that kick. It's second you missake. I said, here it comes,

164
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: It's going to happen. I will say at one point

165
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: in the game, I did have the angels in the outfield.

166
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: I had this gift. It's really like, there's only one

167
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: explanation for this, and but it was. You have to

168
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: he looked really uncomfortable for the first time I've ever

169
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: seen him look that way. What do we always say,

170
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: though it's at the end of the game, in the

171
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: final minutes he looked great and then it was over.

172
00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: We have to keep in mind, this is the postseason.

173
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: Quarterbacks are gonna look uncomfortable because teams are so good. Uncomfortable.

174
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: Breese looked uncofortable moments that pick killip Rivers looked uncomfortable

175
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: for just about four quarters, you know, so like teams

176
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: won't be flawless, the same thing coming up this weekend.

177
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna see great quarterback play, but we're gonna see

178
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: even better defense, which means there's going to be moments

179
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: where our favorite quarterbacks, our favorit players are not going

180
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: to look like themselves and Nick Foles, there are moments

181
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: in this game with those two interceptions. He didn't look

182
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: like himself, But none of that matters. If the game

183
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: is coming down to the last two minutes, that's what matters.

184
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: Until your point, k Even though I believed in the

185
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: magic and I thought, here we go, this is it

186
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: another Nick Foles moment, the moment was on the Saints

187
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: in that defense and then taking advantage of a very

188
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: very weird drop ball by al Shan Jeffrey. So, I

189
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: don't want to knock out Sean and say I hear

190
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 1: you man that you're no, it's not your fault. You

191
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: guys have moments to put that game away and you

192
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: did it. Instead, I'm going to credit that Saints defense,

193
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: like you said, they did. The two picks from Marshall,

194
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: madam or that's what changed. They looked uncomfortable, right, They

195
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: looked a little uneasy, and Marshawn grabs that interception that

196
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: first one, and I feel like they've finally got in

197
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: the rhythm. The momentum happened. Then that one drive that

198
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: they led just shows you how resilient. That's fourth down,

199
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: like Shreike said, changed everything, But it wasn't everything. It

200
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: was Alan's fault, of course. It was no question the

201
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: Sames didn't make a play. As a competitive player, he

202
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: should look in the mirror and say I could have

203
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: changed the outcome at that game. I mean, I think

204
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: if the team collectively looks in one big mirror, they'll say,

205
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: all right, quarterback through two picks that fourth down where

206
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: they give up that fake I'm yelling at the screen

207
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 1: it's a fake put. It has to be a fake

208
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: punt in that moment. And you know, credit to Sean

209
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: payton Man's fall. Are you ready for the Battle of

210
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: the Shawn? Oh my gosh, yes out. Wait just a

211
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: week from today's or a week next week? So this week,

212
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: this week? Oh yeah, stop moving so fast. Weekend the

213
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: Eagles season ends in the Superdome. But could that loss

214
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: also ended Nick Fole's time in Philly. Let's take listen

215
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 1: to Folds discussing his future after the game, because that's

216
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: all we're going to be talking about. I think the

217
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 1: big thing is, you know what the city means to me.

218
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: You know, it's always welcome me and my family. It's

219
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: really been a joy to live there and be a

220
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: part of everything. And you know where the green and

221
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: where the Jersey. So no matter what you can't ever

222
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: take that away. We were able to do some really

223
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: special things. So you know, we'll see what happens. But

224
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, I've enjoyed every single moment and

225
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: it'll always have a special place in my heart. The city,

226
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: the fans, the people, everything about it. There's nothing like

227
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: playing in the link in front of the crowd. It's

228
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: some of my favorite moments. My family's got to experience them,

229
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: my daughters got to experience them. So we'll see what happens.

230
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: But I've enjoyed everything, enjoyed death. It sounds a little

231
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: bit of a pre farewell to meet if you ask me.

232
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: I and Rappaport joining us this morning. Great weekend of football.

233
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: We are excited about it being narrowed down to formal.

234
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: We just heard Nick Foles say how much Philadelphia has

235
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: meant to him, sort of. The chances yesterday was his

236
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: last game as an Eagle, no, my understanding case, the

237
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 1: chances are very very good that this is the final

238
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: time we see Nick Foles in an Eagles uniform. And

239
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: you know, he was actually asked postgame do you want

240
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: to be back? And he said, well, it's a complicated question,

241
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 1: but no matter what happens, It's been a joy. You're right,

242
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: this sounds like a guy who is likely almost certainly

243
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: done here. And there's a couple of different ways this

244
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 1: could happen. The Eagles could exercise his option. Foles could

245
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 1: then pay back two million dollars and buy his freedom.

246
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: The Eagles could also franchise tag him and attempt to

247
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: trade him. Either way, this is a player who has

248
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 1: earned the right to be a starting quarterback, something the

249
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: Eagles very much no. Meanwhile, they are going forward with

250
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz despite the injuries. That is a guy they

251
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: still believe in. He is their franchise quarterbacks. So either way,

252
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: Nick Foles is going to be in another uniform and

253
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: the Eagles are moving forward with Wentz for twenty nineteen. I. Meanwhile,

254
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: there was another injury yesterday, one that was much more

255
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: another injury situation yesterday, much more under the radar. All

256
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 1: Sean Jeffrey you guys were talking about, obviously had the

257
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: miss and then stood up at his life, took responsibility.

258
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: He was actually playing with cracked ribs, something that an

259
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: Emira revealed earlier in the week. Not a lot of

260
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: people knew about it. He kind of gritted his teeth

261
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: and gutted it out, but he was injured during most

262
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: of that game. Yeah, I can respect that. I'll play

263
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: with cracked ribs before. Now, you mentioned injuries and teams

264
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 1: believe in their players. What about the Patriots and how

265
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 1: much they might believe in Rob Gronkowski. How possible is

266
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: it that this is his final season as a Patriot? Now,

267
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: it is very possible, And I've talked to several people

268
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: close to Gronk who do believe that whenever the season ends,

269
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 1: and obviously was not gonna be yesterday, with the way

270
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: the Patriots played against the Chargers, they believed Gronk will

271
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: sit down and strongly consider retirement. He did the same

272
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 1: thing last year and actually threatened to retire rather than

273
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 1: be traded to the Detroit Lions. But those people who

274
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: know him very well believed that when he contemplates this,

275
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: he will likely go the other way. In other words,

276
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: there's a good chance that we've seen the last of

277
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 1: Rob Gronkowski whenever this year ends. And of course, he's

278
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: been through so much physically. Minor stating is this year

279
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: has taken an emotional toll on him. Guys, He's been

280
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: through a lot and clearly maybe not the same player

281
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: he's been, So this could be Grounk's last Arrah. Here

282
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: some monster monster blocks from him, letting Sony Michelle do

283
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: his sting out there as a rookie Ian rappingboard. We

284
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: appreciate you. This was your worry all along. Of course,

285
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: Kyle that it might be his last year. I hate it.

286
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: I feel like Gronk is down and the droops and

287
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: he doesn't like feel him that way, and his body

288
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: has been banged up. Maybe this weekend old determinant though,

289
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 1: you know I want to go out on top. I'm

290
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 1: worried about him. It would be a good game or

291
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 1: a good team, and we played him earlier this year,

292
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: you know, I know, you know everyone thinks we suck

293
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 1: and you know can't win any games. So we'll see.

294
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 1: It'll be fun. Oh Brady with a shot at his

295
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: high haters. That's basically what he said. There are a

296
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: lot of questions about New England heading into yesterday, But

297
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 1: the way they dominated, did it change your perception of

298
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 1: what this team is? Guys? I mean, if then't changed mind,

299
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: I was I thought that sound but was jarring though,

300
00:13:58,240 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: because you know Brady and post game, he just go

301
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: in automatic pilots, how here to compete? We're so excited.

302
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: He does the laugh the fact that he would say

303
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: that people think of us and kind of crude about

304
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: it too, like people think we suck. It's not just him,

305
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: I mean, and it's not just mccordy's talking the same

306
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 1: thing afterwards. We know our quarterbacks too old. We're not

307
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: good enough on defense. The skilled players aren't that good.

308
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: I like me some angry Patriots, and I think it's

309
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: been a couple of years. Last time we've tt saw

310
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: true angry Patriots was the Flake eight year. I mean,

311
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: it's a different team because I always look at them.

312
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: They're like football one percenters. We're always good, We're always

313
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, we always win our terrible division. I

314
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: was listening to Dion last time I talk about it. Listen,

315
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: when you dominate that much, it can be boring in

316
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: the regular season. You go's in the playoffs and you

317
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: wake up and then yeah and Thomason and then's like

318
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: it's like the Golden State Warriors, We're bored. We're going

319
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: through the motions. So if they have this kind of

320
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: talents and this they have the hashtag chip on the

321
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: shoulder where they're angry and Brady says, everyone thinks we sucks.

322
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: I love that. It did change my impression of them

323
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: a little bit. I guess at the end I worked

324
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: up there when they were winning Super Bows as their

325
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: eighth straight AFC Championship game. They always have a chip

326
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: on their shoulders, They always see doubters. They always work

327
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: that way, even if it's self created, which is it

328
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: might be. At this point there are questions about the Patriots.

329
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: I had a question. I hadn't seen the statement game.

330
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: It's all I really said. I said, James White's gonna

331
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: have a great game. Of course he did. Edlan's gonna

332
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: have a great game. He's gonna show up, and it's

333
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: aweso gonna see what either Gronk even having a transcendental,

334
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: huge box score game. But what was the moment? This year?

335
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: Rivers has had the moments. This was their moment. This

336
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: is their moment, and now it's don't look back to

337
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: see see in Atlanta. Probably there was a point in

338
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: this season where I looked to the camera and I said,

339
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: the Patriots, They're not going to the super Bowl. This

340
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: isn't your season. A lot of people. There's so many

341
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: things going on. The defense is in consistent. Tom Brady

342
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: is oh, Gronk has fallen apart. You guys are gonna

343
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: lose Josh Gordon. It's cool. It wasn't your season. You

344
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: guys have a ton of games that you can look

345
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: back on and high five yourself over. It's not the case. Man.

346
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: This is the toughest team in the postseason. This is

347
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: the strongest team. This is the scariest team. And they

348
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: can do it in the air, they can do it

349
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: on the ground. James White and Sony Michelle unbelievable combined

350
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: for two twenty six. Who cares if you don't have

351
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon? Who cares if if Gronk doesn't have a

352
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: big game. These guys are unbelievable. James White at fifteen

353
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: catches at the running back position. Boom me away. As

354
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: I'm sitting at home and I'm watching his game, I'm

355
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: saying to myself, I don't see a team beating these guys.

356
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: I'll see in Atlanta, New England. My man, they made

357
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: him look easy. Peter Schrager, I feel a little silly,

358
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: and I feel like we all knew last week when

359
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: we were talking about what is it going to mean

360
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: if he they lose? That that wasn't really going to happen.

361
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: You know where the disrespect was. The disrespect was when

362
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: we were all talking about, well, the Chargers went into

363
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: Kansas City, and the Chargers went into Pittsburgh and the

364
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: Chargers beat the Ravens, the number one ranked even that's irrelict.

365
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: This is the Patriots in January. Like that was where

366
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: the disrespect was that we thought those games somehow equated

367
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: to this game. Belichick with a week to prepare against

368
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: Anthony Lynn coaching in his second career playoff game. Philip

369
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: Rivers had never won up there. This was a complete

370
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: demolition of the Chargers. And you know, I almost feel

371
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: silly even consider going in as a possible upset because

372
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: we've seen it too many times. Foolmy wants foolmy. You

373
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: know that's what this is. And I will say this,

374
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: you know, Brady talking about how we suck and Devin

375
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 1: mccordy saying what he said, whatever fuels you, And that's

376
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 1: what the Patriots do. They find a way to stay motivated.

377
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 1: They say something. It's called the born to run theory.

378
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: Bruce Springsteen has played born to run five hundred thousand times.

379
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick says he still finds a way to get

380
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: motivated every single time for a new audience, Born to

381
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: run theory. Here we go as another challenger. We find

382
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: a way to get motivated. And that was a wipeout

383
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: last night. I'll throw some motivation on them. They're three

384
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: and five on the road this season. They have to

385
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: go into Arrowhead and get themselves a when they've got

386
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: some ghosts in that building as well. Thanks so much,

387
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: Peter Schrager. Guys, let's talk about these Rams getting a

388
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: nice one at home to Kyliseum. They're a running team. Clearly,

389
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 1: what surprised you, Kyle about the squad? Let's be real.

390
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: We had a lot of love for the Cowboys at

391
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 1: this table, and there's no shame in that. You know,

392
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: sometimes teams will take on the identity of their town.

393
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: You know, Nate, you used to talk about it all

394
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: the time when you were alying. You take on that

395
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 1: working mentality. The Rams do not do that, so they

396
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: do not take on I've spent a lot of years

397
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: in La La as a pretty town, and the Rams

398
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: got a pretty quarterback and a pretty coach and a

399
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 1: pretty offense and everything. They were ugly in this game.

400
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: I mean real ugly, ran right down in the middle.

401
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 1: Sometimes you just need a five foot seven, two forty

402
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,239
Speaker 1: pound fire hydrant named CJ. Anderson the ugly things up

403
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: a little bit. And let me say this about the Cowboys.

404
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,439
Speaker 1: We love those wolf Hunters, we love those two linebackers,

405
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: the Wolf eight on this in this game. But the

406
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: Wolf won this thing big time. I'm telling you, I

407
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: love those Jalen and Layton and everything. But this was

408
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 1: right up the middle. None of the jet sweep, triple reverse.

409
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:42,679
Speaker 1: This is could have been nineteen. This could have been

410
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: Eric Dickerson for the old La Rams A gap, B gaps,

411
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,919
Speaker 1: C gap beat down. I was so impressed that the

412
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 1: Rams were so ugly and so good. Incredibles. Oh they're

413
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: so good, kay. I love They're still pretty yeah. CJ.

414
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: Anderson had a great quote after the game. He tweeted

415
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 1: out he said, well, you know, I'm blessed to be

416
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: back in another championship game. And then he paused and

417
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 1: he said, just a fat boy running. Big boy was

418
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: out there moving, man. And I'll tell you this, CJ.

419
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 1: Was unbelievable, And you're right. It was an ugly, ugly game,

420
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: but so ugly in a good way. When you look

421
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 1: at what they did on both sides of the ball,

422
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: it was impressive. But for me, it does go to

423
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 1: the trenches. It goes to top Tilly, who didn't have

424
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: to do much, and then it goes to C. J. Anderson.

425
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 1: When you look at that two hundred and seventy three yards,

426
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: I think the most impressive stead of the weekend is

427
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 1: that one hundred and ninety five of those yards came

428
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: in between the tackles. We're talking straight downhill, hard nose,

429
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: old school, hard fought football, and that's what I love. Mostly.

430
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 1: Sometimes you get these running games and they're out wide,

431
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of a trickeration. You got pitch

432
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: plays and they're running away from people. No, they went

433
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,919
Speaker 1: right down the shoal five freeway, baby, and that for me,

434
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: it sent a message. It sent a message. It does

435
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,719
Speaker 1: represent the duplicity of this offense. There was weekfore they

436
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: put a four fifty six in the air. They were

437
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 1: lightening up the skies. I was against the Vikings. They

438
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 1: won the game and they scored thirty eight points. In

439
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: this game, they scored thirty points and put up two

440
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy three yards rushing. If that doesn't scare

441
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: the rest of the teams in the postseason, I don't

442
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: know what I mean, because why would they stop doing this? Right?

443
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: They're just gonna keep running the ball. Yes, we'll see

444
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 1: if it's effective down in the Dome. But the way

445
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: I look at I'm gonna put on my Shaun O'Hara

446
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: half is it right now? And talk about the offensive

447
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 1: line because you're mentioning CJ. Anderson and Todd Gurley. I

448
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,360
Speaker 1: think that's the biggest surprise here because the last couple

449
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: of weeks of the season they weren't the best offensive line.

450
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,479
Speaker 1: There were questions of what's Witworth doing? What's going on?

451
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 1: Five point seven yards per carry? That two seventy three

452
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: is good for top ten and a playoff game in

453
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl era that amount of yards on the ground.

454
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 1: So if they keep doing this, that's great. But it's

455
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: really the offensive line that was amazing. Guys. Jared Goff

456
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: wasn't sacked and he was pressured once once the entire game.

457
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,199
Speaker 1: That's unbelievable to me. And I love the fact that

458
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: Andrew Whitworth og so amazing and he had such a

459
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 1: crazy ruckerd. We're talking about Rivers up against Brady. How

460
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: about the fact that Whitworth was O and seven in

461
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 1: the playoffs, six playoff losses with the Bengals, won brutal

462
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: bone last year against the Falcons, and he finally gets

463
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 1: his big playoff win his first and thirteen career seasons.

464
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 1: We don't have the footage of it, but please go

465
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: to Instagram. I'm sure it's trending everywhere. His kids coming

466
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: onto the field and he picks them all up. They're

467
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: all jumping all over him. It was my favorite moment

468
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 1: of the weekend, angew Witworth finally getting his playoff win. Peter, Yeah,

469
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: one of the real good guys of the league. You know,

470
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: it wasn't so much surprising to me. It was just

471
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,479
Speaker 1: Sean McVeagh just taking everyone's label of him as this

472
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: quarterback whisperer, taking that and ripping it up and saying,

473
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 1: quarterback whisper, quarterback whisperer, I'm everything. Look, they were up

474
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: eight points late in the game. He called a time

475
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 1: out on fourth down. Everyone thinks they're going to bring

476
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,239
Speaker 1: out the field goal kicker and says he says, no, no no, no,

477
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 1: let's go for it. Let's put this one out of reach.

478
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 1: Give it the C. J. Anderson touchdown, fifteen point lead,

479
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: come and get it. Look looking into this game, the

480
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: word was mentally tough. The Cowboys were more mentally tough.

481
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: The Cowboys were more built for this thing. The Rams

482
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: played what exactly everyone thought the Cowboys were going to

483
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 1: do the style of football and absolutely dominated them. This

484
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: was one of those games where McVay flexed on the

485
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: rest of the league and said, you could find the

486
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: Sean McVay light, you could find the next quarterback whisper.

487
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: But that's not me. I am a complete coach, and

488
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: I will tell you this. This comes from a very

489
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: high ranking ficial with the Rams. They saw on Good

490
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: Morning Football, three pundits picking the Cowboys, they saw on

491
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: ESPN's Mike Greenberg Show, five different pundits picking the Cowboys,

492
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 1: and they saw on the morning pregame shows everybody picking

493
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 1: the Cowboys because they're tougher. I trust Dak Prescott more.

494
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: That only motivated that team. McVay used that to motivate them.

495
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: And one more nugget you'll like. Twenty minutes before kickoff,

496
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 1: McVeagh is in his little coach's office getting focused for

497
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: this game and Nate we did preseason games. Sean McVay

498
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 1: twenty minutes before kickoff is an absolute madman who's possessed

499
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 1: and he's unlike anybody else. This door knocks and he says,

500
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 1: who is bothering me? Twenty minutes before kickoff, two heads

501
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 1: pop in, Peyton Manning and Lebron. Hey, coach, we just

502
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: want to wish you good luck. To know I think

503
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: he's in some good company right now. And now they're

504
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,880
Speaker 1: rolling onto the NFC Championship game. This was some some

505
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: coaching performance. Kudos to the players. But I'll tell you

506
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: what Sean mcvayh he showed the rest of the league.

507
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: There is no Sean McVay light. There is no next

508
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: Sean McVay. I'm the guy and I will beat you

509
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: any single way. I want just casual knock knock, knock

510
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: on the door for those great now get there. And

511
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: he is officially the youngest and the built coach to

512
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 1: win a playoff game. It's awesome, Sean McVay, coach Straights.

513
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you in a little bit. Everybody who's

514
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: at that game. Camaro is all business on the field.

515
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: I's hard to tell you. Kyle Bays started this games

516
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:47,360
Speaker 1: and they finished it. The Saints and those Masks advanced

517
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: to the NFC Championship presented by TurboTax Live. It'll be

518
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 1: a Week nine rematch of their game against the Rams,

519
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 1: also in the Superdomain. In that game, the Saints won

520
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 1: by ten. That's not how things might turn out on Sunday.

521
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: Peter Schraeger, you were at this game last night. You

522
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: know this Ram squad very well, calling some of the

523
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: preseason games as well. So what's your first impression when

524
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: I tell you MS Saints Part two? I think about

525
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: the two head coaches McVeigh and Peyton, the two shawns,

526
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: and I say it's mcvayvers Peyton. Part three. Remember they

527
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: played last year in a regular season game in Week

528
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: twelve and the Rams got the best of the Saints

529
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,360
Speaker 1: out in LA at the Coliseum in a twenty six

530
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: to twenty game. And that was when McVeigh was the

531
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: coach of the year and the young hot shot I

532
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,239
Speaker 1: was kind of puffing his chest out. Well, we go

533
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: back to this year and like you just saw right there,

534
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: in a game that everyone in the country was watching,

535
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: the Saints took a huge leaving the Superdome. The Rams

536
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: came all the way back and then Michael Thomas scores

537
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 1: the touchdown, brings out the cell phone and the Saints

538
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 1: put away the Rams. I think these two coaches, many

539
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: years apart in age, are the two best coaches in

540
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 1: the NFC, and they will be squaring off I think

541
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 1: you're seeing offense. I think you are seeing fourth down aggressiveness.

542
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: I think you will see trickery. The amount of times

543
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: that Sean Payton went to Taysom Hill in big spots

544
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: yesterday cannot be understated the fact that Taysom Hill was

545
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 1: such a huge part of the offense. He actually threw

546
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 1: a touchdown pass to Kamara yesterday that was taken back

547
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: because of a holding call, but the reliance on Taysom

548
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 1: Hill was fantastic. In the Rams, they do a lot

549
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 1: of the same kind of stuff, fourth down aggressive nature

550
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 1: and let's go big. I'll say this, these are the

551
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: two coaches who have been the story of the NFC

552
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: all year. They will go head to head and you've

553
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: got a forty year old Drew Brees going up against

554
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: that twenty four year old Jared Goff, and you've got

555
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 1: the young coach in McVeigh, and you've got the older

556
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 1: coach in Sean Pagan. If I am a fan and

557
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: I have no dog in this fight, I am sitting

558
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: down on the couch. I am buckling up. I'm getting

559
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: some popcorn, and I'm just going to enjoy two coaching

560
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 1: masterminds at the top of their craft going at it

561
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: for the third time, and what will be a rubber

562
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: match and the biggest stakes of all the Super Bowl

563
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: awaiting them Sean on Sean crime grapes set up there

564
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: by Schragerton. The way that I look at it is

565
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: just the domes in a play huge. I can't get

566
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: over yesterday seeing how uncomfortable and rattled Nick Foles looked.

567
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: A guy who was unrattable and soldier field against such

568
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: a top defense looked cool as a cucumber, And all

569
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: of a sudden yesterday was struggling for three quarters. So

570
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: to me, the dome it got. They were down fourteen zip,

571
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 1: and that Marshtown Lattimore interception is all it took for

572
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: it to flip on its head, and that crowd called,

573
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: you know, as much as we want to say, the

574
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: defense is great. Interception five punts interception. The crowd knew

575
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 1: that they had an effect on this game. So that's

576
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: going to be huge as there now six and oh

577
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: still undefeated with John Peyton and Drew Brees. In the

578
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: postseason in New Orleans, you could feel the waves of

579
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 1: momentum in that game. They hit you like a brick.

580
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 1: I've never really seen that early late middle. It's it

581
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,120
Speaker 1: comes so hard in the noise and in the TV

582
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: watching at home, and I want to know how one

583
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 1: of the quarterbacks is going to respond to that. Lets

584
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,679
Speaker 1: look at the four guys we have left. Right, Brady

585
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: quarterback God, Brady's quarterback God. Yeah, Mahomes is, Bobby Fisher

586
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 1: Meetsiel Knievel, He's got it all. Yeah. Jared Goff is

587
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 1: very intriguing. And Jared Goff I taken up away from

588
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: He just won a home playoff game. He went a

589
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 1: wold playoff, He didn't have to throw a touchdown. The

590
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 1: running game was incredible. Can Jared Goff go and beat

591
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: the Saints in the Dome? Can you have a Jared

592
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: Goff moment, a Jared Goff drive? The answer is I

593
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 1: hope so, but I don't know. I really don't. And

594
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: if you think that they can just get in this

595
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 1: running game with them. As good as Michael Thomas was

596
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: last night against the Eagles, he was even better against

597
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: the Rams last time they played it over two hundred yards.

598
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 1: He'll be the best player in this game again. So

599
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: my question would be, if Thomas gets going and Breeze

600
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: gets off to us, can Jared Goff say no problem.

601
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: I'm looking up at Whistleman and all the Saints on

602
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: those waves of momentum and I got this. I don't

603
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: know yet the only quarterback of the full remaining that

604
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if he has it in the big

605
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: moments that I can't wait. First career road game for

606
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 1: Jared Goff road playoff last week going into the Philly

607
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 1: Saints game, I said, if Philadelphia Eagles take care of

608
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: the wall, Jared Goff takes care of the wall, I

609
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 1: have faith in him winning. They didn't do that. You

610
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 1: have to be perfect. There's no such thing as playing

611
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 1: with house money when you're not in your house. So

612
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: once you get a lead and you're up fourteen zero,

613
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,120
Speaker 1: you have to take advantage. You're so close to everything

614
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: being perfect, and that's where they were before they made

615
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,640
Speaker 1: mistake after mistake and then they give up the fake

616
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 1: punt and all of a sudden, that lead in the

617
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,360
Speaker 1: momentum to start to slip right out of their hands.

618
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: So moving forward, if you're looking at the Rams and

619
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 1: what they're gonna be able to do in this game,

620
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 1: They're gonna be able to run the ball, They'll be

621
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 1: able to throw the ball as well. The defensive play, well,

622
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: you look at the Eagles defense. They played pretty good

623
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: against the Saints. But you cannot let Drew Brees have

624
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: a chance to keep their team in it through three quarters.

625
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: If you're up by ten, if you're by fourteen, if

626
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: you have a chance to extend this game, not only

627
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: are you keeping Drew Brees on the sideline, but you

628
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: are hitting that crowd base right in the gut. And

629
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 1: that's the one thing you have to do. You're not

630
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: just playing against the Saints. You're playing against the energy.

631
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: You're playing against the vibe, You're playing against the voodoo,

632
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: the ju ju, however you want to frame it, however

633
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: you want to name it. I've been there. I've been

634
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: there in the playoffs and thinking to myself, this is

635
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: a game going to have time. Looking at my guys,

636
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: they were good don't worry about it. Well, and God,

637
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna fence. I want to celebrate on the plane.

638
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 1: It's all good, and all of a sudden, one mistake happens,

639
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: and then another mistake happened, and then they make a play.

640
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: Look out as right. Not only does the crowd raise

641
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: and it seems like somebody just went five clicks up

642
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,719
Speaker 1: on what you're listening to, the crowd seems to overwhelm you.

643
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: I remember at one point I was on the sideline

644
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: and I looked behind me because I thought the stands

645
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,239
Speaker 1: were closer to me. That's how loud it was, and

646
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: that's how overwhelming the energy was. And I think that's

647
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: what it was at some points in the game for

648
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: the Field of Eagles, when they had this team on

649
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: the ropes. It was like they were sitting there days

650
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: and all they need was one more power punts and

651
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: they couldn't. So if you're the Rams, you get a

652
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: lead early, what you have to do one to take

653
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: care of the ball and don't fall for the oaky dog.

654
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: There will be trick plays. And one thing about trick plays,

655
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: it not only gets the first down, but it changes

656
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: thetion of the game. Rams have to be perfect if

657
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: they want to win this game. In store for a

658
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: lot of trick plays in this one. Maybe they run

659
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: the ball, I will say Jared Goff outside of the coliseum.

660
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: Ten touchdowns and nine interceptions in the regular season, so C. J.

661
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: Anderson maybe a big roll. Let's talk about story. What

662
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: a day for him one hundred twenty three yards, two

663
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 1: touchdowns because he had girly keep the ground attack rolling

664
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: in the Superdome breaking down Championship weekend after this, in

674
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: performance as we saw this week, and there were some

675
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: lopsided games, it's sort of a weird weekend, Kyle, Let's

676
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: just be honest of it. Whose performance impressed you, guys?

677
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 1: The most in this division. I think I'm just stay

678
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: right there, and Michael Thomas was That was otherworldly what

679
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: he did. And no matter what the Eagles tried, no

680
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: matter what Jim Schwartz was dialing up, it just came

681
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: back to Thomas. After all these catches, he would do

682
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: this flex. I feel like he flexed fifty times. You know,

683
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: we used this phrase he flexed on the Eagles. He

684
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: literally flexed on the Eagles like he was doing on

685
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:20,239
Speaker 1: Mister Universe pose over and over. I play a lot

686
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: of the old fashioned Tech Mobile. There's a player on

687
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears named Cap Bozo who has a play

688
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: that's a glitch in the game that if you call

689
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: it it's an unstoppable pattern, it can't be defended. It's

690
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: actually an error in the programming. That's what Michael Thomas

691
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: was last night. He was an error in the program

692
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: There's nothing the Eagles could do. Didn't it feel like

693
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: thirty times Breees just looked back and it was Thomas

694
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: over the middle. There's a lot of controversy about before

695
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: the fake punt that the Saints run, the Saints were

696
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: called for a penalty and Doug Peterson was faced with

697
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: a choice to go with fourth and one and decline

698
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,479
Speaker 1: the penalty, or accept it and go to third and eleven.

699
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: And some people are saying revisionist history, fourth and one,

700
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: they run the fake punts. Maybe he should have gone

701
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: to third and eleven. I don't think he should have,

702
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,040
Speaker 1: first of all, because they were so far back in

703
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: their territory. Even crazy Sean Payte, you didn't think that

704
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: they were gonna fake it. However, if they had, there's

705
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: nothing that I saw in that game that they would

706
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: have stopped them on third and eleven. Anyway, let's say

707
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: they you know, they had decline it or accepted it. Rather,

708
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: I feel like Press going to Thomas for fifteen yards

709
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: right over from the middle. So I don't regret that

710
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: at all if you're an Eagles fan. He was the

711
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: best player on the field. That wasn't even close. Was

712
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: him and Fletcher Cox who had to leave Thomas. That

713
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: was the game of his life. And I think the

714
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: best is yet to come against the Rams. I don't

715
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: say they're stopping him either. Yeah, speaking of the best

716
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: is yet to come, how about the Patriots continue to

717
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: reinvent themselves and looking at the game plan. I remember

718
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,239
Speaker 1: going into this game, and I was saying, all right,

719
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: James White, I know what he does in the playoffs.

720
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: The last four games, he has seven tds, Like he's

721
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: a beast. He's going to go off, which he did

722
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 1: fifteen catches. That's nothing to sneeze at. But how about

723
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle. Though Sony Michelle, he's playing at such a

724
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 1: high level on the Patriots have him playing at such

725
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 1: an efficient level that we forget he's a rookie. This

726
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: young man is an absolute beast. We're just taking it

727
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: for what it is all. He's just another good running

728
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: back in the league. And it's you know, these are

729
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 1: the type of game that veterman running backs that are

730
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: the best in the league have, not a rookie that

731
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: just got in the league. He goes out and as

732
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,479
Speaker 1: three tds, a buck fifty plus and just doing it

733
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: on the ground as a traditional running back, and he

734
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: can also catch up the backfield. The patron said, now

735
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: we're not going to use you. Is that we want

736
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: to use you as are true four down running back.

737
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: We'll use James White as a true wide receiver and

738
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: we'll keep everybody off balance. You know what's crazy about

739
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: it is the next week. It could be completely flipped.

740
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle could lead the team in receptions and James

741
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 1: White will be the in between attacks a guy. That's

742
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: why they're so hard. The game plan at this point

743
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: in years being two studios ago getting that jersey from

744
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: New from New England, Sony Michelle signed one for me

745
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: and I knew it and then and then know it

746
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: more now like this kid's going to be special and

747
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: make an impact, and he already is early in the playoffs.

748
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: I'm going to give it to most impressive performance and

749
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: moves the Chiefs defensive line. This is what I was

750
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: looking at. I kind of was boring about it last week,

751
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: thinking about what d Ford and Chris Jones and company

752
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: were going to look like against what was the best

753
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: offensive line of the league. The Colt's offensive line. Guys

754
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,959
Speaker 1: held JJ Watcher, David Clowney and the Texans defense without

755
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 1: a sack last week. This week, they were all over

756
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck. It was unbelievable. They got him three times,

757
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: they pressured him another eight. Sammy Watkins fumbled and what

758
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: does the four do? Makes one of the biggest plays

759
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: of the game, if not the biggest, in stripping Andrew

760
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 1: Luck of the ball to get it back for them.

761
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 1: So to me, this pass rush gives them a shot here.

762
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 1: There are still what has been my main criticism about

763
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,359
Speaker 1: the Chiefs this year, defense, their defense, their secondary If

764
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: you can sort of mask some of those issues with

765
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 1: a pass rush and get to Tom Brady the way

766
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: Melvin Ingram and Joey Bills so we're supposed to, you've

767
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: got a shot here against the Patriots. That said, Tom

768
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: Brady does not how long does they have the ball

769
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 1: in his hands, like half a second? Whatever is gone?

770
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: All they kill you with the screen game. Look at

771
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: James White yesterday. We knew that was coming and they

772
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: couldn't stop it straight. What was the most impressive thing

773
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: to you? Look, at the end of the day, we're

774
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 1: going into the conference championships and you could have your

775
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 1: Matt Naggy and you could have your Anthony Lynn. The

776
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 1: four best offensive coaches in all of football will be

777
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: coaching on Sunday. And when I'm talking about that, I

778
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: mean Josh McDaniels, who is a bona fide beast. As

779
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: Nate was saying, Andy Reid, Sean Payton, and Sean McVay.

780
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:14,919
Speaker 1: The four best offensive minds in the entire world will

781
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 1: be coaching on the same day, and I cannot wait

782
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,879
Speaker 1: to see what mister Sean McVay has to unveil, because

783
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, guys, My standout from the weekend

784
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,359
Speaker 1: was not the quarterback. It was not the passing game.

785
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: It were those two running backs and the rushing attack

786
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: for the La Rams. The numbers are insane, guys. The

787
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: Rams had forty eight carries of the ball on Saturday night,

788
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy three yards on the ground. They

789
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: averaged five point seven yards per carry. I swear I

790
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:51,800
Speaker 1: watched every show on NFL network. I even watched ESPN

791
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,319
Speaker 1: or I tried to, and they were talking about how

792
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:57,800
Speaker 1: the Cowboys We're gonna run the ball down the throat

793
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: of that Rams defense. The Boys run game, the offensive

794
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 1: line get out of here with that. It was all

795
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: Rams and it was the Rams ground game. What a

796
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 1: statement to the rest of the league. And I'll say

797
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 1: this about C. J. Anderson. Thirty one teams could have

798
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,240
Speaker 1: signed c. J. Anderson for a week. Thirty one teams

799
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: had the opportunity, the odds of this happening, that Malcolm Brown,

800
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 1: the backup running back, gets injured, the same week that C. J.

801
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 1: Anderson becomes available to a keep to leave nos CJ

802
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: Anderson from the Denver Days. Wade Phillips knows a key

803
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 1: nos CJ. Anderson from the Denver Days. They talked to mcveayh.

804
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: They say, bring him in. He shows up two hundred

805
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: and forty pounds looking like Mike Tolbert and guess what.

806
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:42,280
Speaker 1: He absolutely dominated on the biggest of stages and looked

807
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: better than Ezekiel Elliott and looked better than whatever the

808
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,359
Speaker 1: Cowboys had to offer. I love this coming weekend because

809
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: I'm all about offensive fireworks, and I think we have

810
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:55,439
Speaker 1: the four greatest offensive geniuses on the entire planet doing

811
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 1: a chess matches against each other. But McVeigh was the

812
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: most impressive Saturday night. And it wasn't the passing game.

813
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 1: There were those two running backs running it up the

814
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 1: gut on the Cowboys. Talk about it, talk about it.

815
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: We have a barrel. Now choose wisely, gentlemen, whose offense

816
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 1: do you have the most faith in. Let's start with

817
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: our friend out in New Orleans right now. I was

818
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 1: working the sidelines for Fox last night for the Saints game.

819
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: What do you got, Shriggs? I saw one of the

820
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 1: great offenses of NFL history. Of the New Orleans Saints

821
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 1: play last night. I saw one of the clutchest performers,

822
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 1: Nick Foles, go down to the wire last night, and

823
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 1: yet I can't get the thought of what the Rams

824
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 1: did to the Cowboys out of my head from Saturday night.

825
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say the Rams. The Rams right now are

826
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 1: dialed up, and if you look at their last two

827
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 1: regular season games, getting C. J. Anderson going, I don't

828
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: know who to stop now because Robert Woods is playing

829
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:52,280
Speaker 1: at an elite level, Tyler Higbee is stepping up, Josh

830
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 1: Reynolds is making big plays, Jared Golf is dialed in,

831
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 1: and the two running backs are now fully healthy, and

832
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: they are all of a sudden as good a running

833
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 1: back duo in the league. And that includes Kamara and

834
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 1: Ingram who have done it for seventeen weeks. In our

835
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: playoff game, all of a sudden, when you put up

836
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy yards rushing on the ground, I

837
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 1: don't know how to stop you. And you add in

838
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 1: the most important factor, the head coach, the play caller,

839
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,280
Speaker 1: Sean mcvayh. So I'm gonna say the Rams just because

840
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: of how they dominated Saturday night against one of the

841
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 1: best defenses we've seen in the league all year. The

842
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:24,839
Speaker 1: Rams to me or the pick, Kyle, who you got?

843
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm gonna go with the Chiefs. I'm gonna

844
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: go to Kansas City Chiefs, and not because they have

845
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 1: me over a barrel, but because I think they have

846
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 1: at home, and I think they got the MVP and

847
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: the most dangerous player and Tyree Hill. It's that simple.

848
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: We can't be wrong with any of these. But I

849
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 1: gotta feel in the Chiefs now now we know how

850
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 1: to win, happy, learn how to punt. I'm going with

851
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: the Homes. It is first rule problems these offenses. It's true.

852
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 1: I will go with the Saints so because even when

853
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 1: things didn't go their way, they fixed it. I think

854
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill is an absolute spark plug. There is not

855
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 1: a player like him on the field. They punted once

856
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 1: in the last three quarters, and we're talking the best

857
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: offense going into this week at home. They are the

858
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 1: best offense. And his touchdown pass was a laser, the

859
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: one that got called back chuck that thing. I think

860
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: they might come back to that. Yeah. For me, I'm

861
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,799
Speaker 1: looking at the Pats and so many different reasons. I

862
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:07,360
Speaker 1: don't want to go too far in the history and

863
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 1: start talking about the championships and the rings that they

864
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: have in the jury box. For me, it's about yesterday's

865
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 1: game and how they were able to play at such

866
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: an efficient level. Offensively, there was so much pre snap movement,

867
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 1: and that right there confuses any defense. I don't care

868
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 1: what defenses are in the postseason. I don't care who's last, Saints, Rams, Chiefs.

869
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: The fact that they have so much movement pre snap

870
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 1: and then defensively, it gives so many defensive coordinators fit.

871
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:36,399
Speaker 1: So for me, it's Josh McDaniels versus the field having

872
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 1: a chance to prepare versus the defense that could fly around,

873
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:41,360
Speaker 1: that are fast, out are athletic. They can't do anything

874
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: when they don't know who the game plan for. So

875
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna go into this game saying, you know what,

876
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 1: the stops on himself from running the ball, or he

877
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 1: might not run a ball there, he might not even

878
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: play a snap at running back. He could be their

879
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:52,840
Speaker 1: leading receiver next week. And that right there is the

880
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 1: mind games that Bill Belichick, John mcdowns and the Patriots

881
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 1: play with everybody else. Sounds like It's all going to

882
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: come out down to who the best defenses of these four? Right,

883
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 1: we'll see Lantimore two picks, thank god. Yeah. Well the

884
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: path that's a tough one to ride against because they're

885
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 1: headed to their eighth straight AFC championship. Is Mahomes the

886
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 1: guy to stop Brady writing his tracks? The broad things?

887
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: We suck. We don't have any good players we get

888
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 1: win games. Okay, Tom getting what he said suck? It

889
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,320
Speaker 1: was a little jarring, a little crude. He's a human.

890
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:30,320
Speaker 1: Can't wait? It is now Gumbo week. Well, we're always

891
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,800
Speaker 1: here to learn new things each week, and the divisional

892
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,720
Speaker 1: round was no different. Here's what the Breakfast table learned

893
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: from the action in the divisional round Tuesday. You guys

894
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 1: knew what that means. Time for what we learn in

895
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: the divisional round. It's taught us plenty. You know what

896
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:46,280
Speaker 1: I learned this week? I learned I have a favorite

897
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 1: new head coach in the NFL, and so do you. You

898
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 1: You might just not know it yet. The four of

899
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: us won the Powerball. Guys, if we won the content Powerball.

900
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: Freddy Kitchens is the head coach of the Browns and

901
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 1: Peace Dregs has done an incredible job over the past

902
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 1: month or so, putting him on our radar talking about

903
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:04,399
Speaker 1: this incredible background, his wide open system, everything he's done

904
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 1: for Baker Mayfield on the field. The background is incredible.

905
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,359
Speaker 1: I coached under Saban Parcels goes on and on and on,

906
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 1: and the meteoric rise from running back coach to head

907
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 1: coach in one year. And then yesterday we finally got

908
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:17,919
Speaker 1: a look at the new King as he sat down

909
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 1: to meet the media as the head coach of the

910
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. And like I said, guys, let's just sit

911
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 1: back and enjoy. I hope this is a thirty year

912
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,800
Speaker 1: run for him as the coach, because he's incredible. First coach.

913
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 1: Have a little background. Tell us what it was like

914
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: growing up in Gadsden, Alabama. I was a Browns fan

915
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:36,879
Speaker 1: when I was growing up. Now, keep in mind, I'll

916
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 1: grew up in guest in Alabama. It was Alabama football,

917
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,320
Speaker 1: all right, But on Sundays you had to do something

918
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 1: other than go to church and eat a lot, all right.

919
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:48,880
Speaker 1: So when the when the Cleveland Browns were on television,

920
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:52,319
Speaker 1: I was watching the Cleveland Browns and you know, I

921
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:56,280
Speaker 1: just I locked their uniforms. I mean I love the helmet.

922
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 1: I locked the simplicity of the helmet, all right, So

923
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 1: hopefully we don't ever change that, but hopefully it's not

924
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:05,840
Speaker 1: in the work same time. Sorry, but anyways, I liked that,

925
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:10,720
Speaker 1: but I went to Alabama. We didn't change helmets at Alabama.

926
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 1: So I'm a traditionalist, all right. That's the way I coach.

927
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 1: You can take the boy out of gats, and you

928
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 1: cannot take the gats and out of the boy. Coach

929
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 1: is supposed to sit down and say, we're gonna work hard,

930
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna put a winning product on this. Freddie, have

931
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,720
Speaker 1: you heard that? Um, you're actually pretty popular in Cleveland.

932
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 1: You have a following. What do you think about? I

933
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 1: think I'm popular in Cleveland Coads we win some games,

934
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 1: you know, Um, but yeah, I may probably. I know,

935
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 1: I'll hear from my kids at school that, uh from

936
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:44,800
Speaker 1: school that everybody wants that orange dog bound sweatshirt. So

937
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: so hey, I don't know how hell maybe popular because

938
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 1: of the sweatshirt. I don't know. Maybe maybe it is.

939
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 1: And I think dor see a very popular sweatshirt too,

940
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 1: I know, right, and I think we will for a

941
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:00,879
Speaker 1: long time. There's there's everyone trying to win the room. Now,

942
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,319
Speaker 1: everyone's got to have the cool hire, the young, sexy hire.

943
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 1: And Freddie was asked about that, you know, you weren't

944
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: a real popular choice necessarily, and what he said actually

945
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 1: kind of fired me up, saying that, you know, it

946
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 1: takes some I won't use any bad language misday now,

947
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:22,919
Speaker 1: but it takes some guts to do what they did,

948
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:27,919
Speaker 1: all right, and I appreciate that. I won't let him down.

949
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 1: And all you got to do is sit back and watch,

950
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:33,320
Speaker 1: all right, Because I know that I'm not a popular choice.

951
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 1: I understand that, and I don't care. He doesn't care.

952
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 1: You can't be telling me if you are not just

953
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: a little part of you as a Steelers fan, or

954
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:43,320
Speaker 1: you got to appreciate this. This guy is the genuine

955
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 1: article and maybe my favorite party when it's personally just

956
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 1: he couldn't help himself. Was at the end. John Dorsey

957
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:50,879
Speaker 1: was asked, you know, John, certainly when you put together

958
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 1: a list of head coaches going back, he must not

959
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 1: have been on your list, right or was he? Dorsey

960
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: tell us about it. No, he wasn't. But that doesn't

961
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 1: mean that he's not a qualified coach. I mean his uh,

962
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 1: I mean you just look at the eight Games. He

963
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 1: did kind of caught your attention too, didn't it. Yeah, No, Freddy,

964
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 1: good gentleman. That's impressive. It is impressive. This guy is

965
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:21,279
Speaker 1: a treasure. Afterwards, you know, it's wrapping up everyone. He's

966
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 1: he's intermixing with the media. Are very own all. My

967
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 1: release has been all over this, tweets this that as

968
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 1: if we need one more piece of personality, Freddy, very

969
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:31,279
Speaker 1: lifable guy having fun in the media. Scrum says facetious

970
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 1: is one of only two words in English language that

971
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:37,240
Speaker 1: contains every vowel in order. That's the chatter going on afterwards.

972
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:39,279
Speaker 1: Now little research, and that's not true at all. There's

973
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: several words which is fine, abstemius is fine, but facetious

974
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 1: works either way. And I'm not being facetious when I

975
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 1: say this too. As we go into this air, we're

976
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 1: gonna have a lot of fun of it. But I'm

977
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: gonna make a personal vow as it pertains of Freddy Kitchens.

978
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 1: In nineteen ninety eight, Conan O'Brien had a whole thing

979
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:55,839
Speaker 1: as the year was wrapping up where he asked all

980
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 1: local radio stations around the country please do not play

981
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,880
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety nine by inside New Year's Eve. It's too predictable.

982
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:03,839
Speaker 1: It's low hanging fruit. We get it's nineteen eighty nine.

983
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 1: I'm making a vow on this show and every segment

984
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 1: that we do for the rest of the Freddie Kitchens era,

985
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 1: I will not engage in any kitchens based wordplay whatsoever.

986
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 1: In a way too, I'm making a vow. I'm making

987
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 1: him say Baker with a kitchen and you know there's

988
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 1: too many cooks. So if you can't take it, get

989
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 1: out of that. He opened floor plan all it's a

990
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,800
Speaker 1: quarterback's name is Baker and he's coaches. I tried everything

991
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: in the kitchen sat with respect to him, the late

992
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 1: great Tony Sperana, who we all miss in this league

993
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 1: when he was hired as the Dolphins head coach. Every

994
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 1: idiot on the Rams, who's the offensive, Pauli Walnuts and

995
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 1: Jackie Junior on quality control, it was stupid. We've made

996
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 1: a few. I've made a few from this day moving forward,

997
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 1: I'm not being facetious aiou. I will not make a

998
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 1: single moment of kitchen's based wordplay. That's it. Nate's not

999
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 1: be able to talk about the Browns this year. Nate's done.

1000
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: You're a screwiname rule. I wouldn't pull you guys in.

1001
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 1: You're gonna fail, you will fail. Watch. I'm a diligent man.

1002
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 1: I will not make a kitchen's based pond. That's it.

1003
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 1: You're on an island, just like a kitchen that's always

1004
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 1: debat him into it. So we found this week. I

1005
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,280
Speaker 1: learned that what the Saints did in the third quarter

1006
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 1: was the best thing I've ever seen. I was gonna

1007
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:10,839
Speaker 1: go and put it that way. I'm talking about the

1008
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 1: best drive ever eighteen play ninety two yards, setting a

1009
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 1: record for longest drive in playoff histories. In the merger. Yeah,

1010
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 1: that one by the Saints in the third quarter. That

1011
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 1: took forever. Streates probably took a nap and tight of

1012
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:24,880
Speaker 1: shoes while that was going on. But to truly understand

1013
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 1: how impressive the whole sequence was, let's just relive it, guys.

1014
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 1: Let's break it down a little bit here, and let's

1015
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 1: start with thirteen oh nine left in the third first

1016
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 1: and ten Saints eight. Ingram goes up the middle, casual

1017
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 1: gets it done fast forward seven place. Three minutes and

1018
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 1: two first downs later, it's third and three from the

1019
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:45,879
Speaker 1: Saints forty five Josh another first down. Two plays later,

1020
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 1: Tayson Hill at quarterback breezeover the dime to Kamara, who scores.

1021
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:56,280
Speaker 1: But wait, offensive holding. It's called back very next play

1022
00:46:56,360 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 1: now second and twenty. Breeze two can't guard Michael Thomas,

1023
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:05,760
Speaker 1: extending the play for another first down. So seven plays,

1024
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,279
Speaker 1: four minutes and a first down later, holding penalty leaves

1025
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:10,720
Speaker 1: the Saints of the third and sixteen. Breeze under pressure,

1026
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:15,360
Speaker 1: steps up in boom Thomas again. We're ten minutes, two plays,

1027
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 1: one minute, one offensive fall start later, Saints are in

1028
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 1: the red zone and Kimara gets the ball to the

1029
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 1: Saints too, which we are seeing, and here you go

1030
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:28,840
Speaker 1: the touchdown. Of course, Breeze. I mean, thank god they scored.

1031
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:30,360
Speaker 1: At the end of all of this, I would just

1032
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:33,800
Speaker 1: like you, gentlemen, to know that that took eleven minutes

1033
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 1: and twenty nine seconds. That was the length of the

1034
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 1: actual drive TV time seventeen minutes. Do you think that

1035
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 1: was longer the drive let's say the TV time of

1036
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 1: the drive. It was faster than the fastest five k

1037
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 1: ever ran. No, I don't know it was longer. It was, Yeah,

1038
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 1: it took a guy twelve minutes and thirty seven seconds,

1039
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 1: Anthony Hopkins, it is in Silence of the Lambs. What

1040
00:47:57,160 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 1: is his screen time? How long is he actually in

1041
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:00,960
Speaker 1: the movie? Is that longer than if you want an

1042
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:03,920
Speaker 1: Academy Award, I think you're not supporting and tell me

1043
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 1: what was it? He was on the screen for fifteen

1044
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 1: minutes of that crazy that's fit. So this drive was

1045
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,280
Speaker 1: it is longer than our lead blocks. It is absolutely

1046
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 1: insane what they did. And I can only imagine what

1047
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:16,319
Speaker 1: that did to this Eagle squad sitting on the bench.

1048
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 1: You were there, Yeah, every time it was third and long.

1049
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:20,799
Speaker 1: They found Michael Thomas a third and twenty and and

1050
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 1: they scored touchdown that had to be taken back. The

1051
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,279
Speaker 1: penalties or what made it crazy because the Eagles every

1052
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:29,880
Speaker 1: time you it was just never ending drive. It sucked

1053
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 1: the life out of the Eagles. Eleven minutes and thirty seconds,

1054
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 1: so much Michael Thomas in for real? Well listen. I

1055
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:38,479
Speaker 1: want to talk about Julian Edelman and what I learned

1056
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:40,879
Speaker 1: is that he is the family Jewels of the New

1057
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:42,880
Speaker 1: England Patriots. All right now, I have to putting up

1058
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:45,360
Speaker 1: nine receptions for one fifty one against the Chargers on Sunday,

1059
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:48,799
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman passed Reggie Wayne to become number two all

1060
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 1: time for postseason receptions. Checks us out. That's more than

1061
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 1: Michael Evan Hines, Ward, Marvin Harrison and just behind who's

1062
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 1: at number one? You guessed it? Yep, the go Jerry Rice.

1063
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 1: It's crazy one you want to it's ridiculous. But Jewels

1064
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:06,440
Speaker 1: though ninety eight catches. How about that now? But this crown,

1065
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:09,399
Speaker 1: Jewel started off more of a diamond in the rough.

1066
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:11,400
Speaker 1: Drafted twenty third pick in a seventh round of two

1067
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:13,839
Speaker 1: thousand and nine, a lot of people were confused by

1068
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 1: what he can bring to the table for an NFL team.

1069
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 1: His draft profile is infamous. Check us out. Lacks the

1070
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:23,280
Speaker 1: size and speed in the passing accuracy to remain a quarterback. Okay,

1071
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:26,360
Speaker 1: all right, he's bit of a gimmick, you know, gimmick prospect,

1072
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 1: and some say that he may lack a true position

1073
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 1: at the next level. But there's only one quote that

1074
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 1: matters Jewel in his book. He sent me thanks Jewels.

1075
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 1: By the way he said that. Bill Belishier called us

1076
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:38,759
Speaker 1: at Hey, this is coach Belichick. We're gonna draft you.

1077
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 1: We don't really know what you're gonna do. But we

1078
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 1: know that you can play football, and that's all you

1079
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:46,280
Speaker 1: want to hear. And Julian Edelman is a true football player.

1080
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 1: A fast forward a few years later, and this hidden

1081
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:50,799
Speaker 1: gym made it crystal clear that he is the king

1082
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 1: of the postseason. He put up twenty six receptions for

1083
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:56,280
Speaker 1: two hundred and eighty one yards in the twenty fourteen

1084
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 1: Super Bowl run, and then another twenty one catches for

1085
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:02,920
Speaker 1: three D three hundred and forty two in the twenty

1086
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:06,759
Speaker 1: sixteen Super Bowl run, including you know this catch right

1087
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 1: here and Super Bowl fifty one the Julian Juggle, which

1088
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:15,440
Speaker 1: I can watch over and over and over again. Honestly,

1089
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 1: this is one of the best postseason catches of all time.

1090
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 1: Now the Crown Jewel, he's back at it again. The

1091
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 1: Chiefs they're ready to watch out because this pearl of

1092
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:29,440
Speaker 1: the Patriots is about the shine bright like a diamond.

1093
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:32,279
Speaker 1: But seriously, though, we don't talk about Jewels enough, and

1094
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:34,239
Speaker 1: I try to tell you guys to pay attention to him.

1095
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 1: There's one thing to be good in the regular season.

1096
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:39,000
Speaker 1: It's another thing to be amazing in the postseason. Jewels

1097
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:41,040
Speaker 1: won the best of all time. It doesn't have gone

1098
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 1: too long without seeing that catch from the Super Bowl.

1099
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 1: I feel like they haven't. Grady was on Boston Radio

1100
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 1: yesterday and this is the quote. I thought it was crazy.

1101
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:51,880
Speaker 1: He said that Julian Eedelman is as mentally and physically

1102
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:54,880
Speaker 1: tough as any player who's ever put on a Patriot's uniform.

1103
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:57,040
Speaker 1: That's from Tom Brady. That's the highest of phrase. You're

1104
00:50:57,040 --> 00:50:59,759
Speaker 1: absolutely right. The Patriots on Instagram video. Yes to have

1105
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:01,840
Speaker 1: people in the media saying Adam who doesn't have it anymore?

1106
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:03,839
Speaker 1: Adam and slowed down. He looks incredible in that game

1107
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:08,799
Speaker 1: last week. Yeah, subtlety, he chirps at the biggest dude

1108
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:11,040
Speaker 1: on the field. He's ready to fight every single play.

1109
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 1: And that's the guy you wanted. That book, of course

1110
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:17,360
Speaker 1: titled Relentless, which is him personified. In today's age, it

1111
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:19,319
Speaker 1: could be hard to find the time to sit down

1112
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 1: and learn more, especially when the likes of social media

1113
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 1: can be so addictive and time consuming. So you may

1114
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:27,440
Speaker 1: think you don't have the time to read a book

1115
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 1: or to develop yourself. Well, think again. Blinks is the

1116
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:34,759
Speaker 1: only app that condensed these thousands of nonfiction books into

1117
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:38,319
Speaker 1: the best key takeaways and need to know information so

1118
00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:41,800
Speaker 1: you can read listen to them and just fifteen minutes.

1119
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:45,480
Speaker 1: Eight million people are using blinks right now, and it

1120
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:49,719
Speaker 1: has a massive and growing library from self help, business,

1121
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 1: health to history books. I like Blinks because in less

1122
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:56,000
Speaker 1: than fifteen minutes, I feel like I can fast track

1123
00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 1: my path to a more informed and healthy meat Right

1124

1130
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:24,160
Speaker 1: talk about the Eagles. You know, as a journalist, you're

1131
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:27,480
Speaker 1: supposed to be objective, but sometimes you come across a

1132
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:29,960
Speaker 1: player or an individual that you can't just help rooting for.

1133
00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 1: Maybe not a particular play or in a game, but

1134
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:35,880
Speaker 1: in life. To me, Nick Foles is that guy. Time

1135
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:38,759
Speaker 1: and time again he does or says something that we

1136
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:41,919
Speaker 1: can all take and learn from. In the biggest moment

1137
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 1: of the season, with forty two million people watching at home,

1138
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:48,320
Speaker 1: Alshon Jeffrey dropped the pass that he would catch ninety

1139
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:52,280
Speaker 1: nine out of one hundred times. And guess what where

1140
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 1: is Nick Foles? The first person to greet Alshon Jeffrey

1141
00:52:56,719 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 1: after this play is not some other received or not.

1142
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:05,880
Speaker 1: It's Nick Foles who ran to lift up Alshon Jeffrey

1143
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:07,759
Speaker 1: and get him and then speak with him on the

1144
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 1: sideline the entire ensuing next two minutes. You see here

1145
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:16,200
Speaker 1: Jeffrey's down, but who was it? It's Foles who had

1146
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 1: his back. Foles was there the entire time I was

1147
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 1: on the sidelines while everyone else is worried about everything

1148
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:24,759
Speaker 1: else in the game, Foles was so wholly focused on Jeffrey. Look,

1149
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:26,920
Speaker 1: and let's go to this one. That's Foals. And if

1150
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:29,279
Speaker 1: you can't love Nick Foles, his story, his message, you

1151
00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 1: probably don't have much that you love in life. I've

1152
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:33,640
Speaker 1: gotten to know Foles pretty well over the past few

1153
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 1: years through countless Fox production meetings, and I spent thirty

1154
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:39,520
Speaker 1: minutes with him on Saturday before the game. He was

1155
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:43,239
Speaker 1: tremendous and the things he said were so fascinating. He

1156
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:45,359
Speaker 1: told me this on what he learned through his wild

1157
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:48,240
Speaker 1: career ride. Nick Foles told me of all the down

1158
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:50,720
Speaker 1: points in his career, the being traded to being cut

1159
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:54,680
Speaker 1: by the Rams, contemplating retirement before Andy Reid talked him

1160
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:56,320
Speaker 1: out of it and give him a shot in Kansas City.

1161
00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:59,239
Speaker 1: He needed all of that to have the peace of

1162
00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:01,200
Speaker 1: mind that he has now. It was such like a

1163
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:03,640
Speaker 1: real response, like I needed that in life. I needed

1164
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:05,759
Speaker 1: that to get where I was. On his relationship with

1165
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 1: that guy, Carson Wentz. Nick Foles told me that he

1166
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 1: would say thank you every game last year through the

1167
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 1: playoff run and every year since he went and started

1168
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:17,400
Speaker 1: two wins. Afterwards, he would make sure that he told Wentz,

1169
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:20,359
Speaker 1: his friend and his ally, thank you because you are

1170
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:22,799
Speaker 1: what got me here. You have helped me prepare, you

1171
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:24,759
Speaker 1: have put your ego aside, and you have allowed me

1172
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 1: to do this to say thank you every single time

1173
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:29,960
Speaker 1: that Wentz was in the room and making sure that

1174
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:31,680
Speaker 1: he knows he's a part of this and is loved

1175
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 1: that special stuff. And if Foles didn't handle things that

1176
00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:39,959
Speaker 1: way and didn't serve Wentz like that as a friend,

1177
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:42,719
Speaker 1: the impact that Wentz his presence could have had on

1178
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:46,320
Speaker 1: this team is unimaginable. A negative impact on that lingering

1179
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:50,560
Speaker 1: this quarterback controversy, But most amazingly was what Foles told

1180
00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:53,399
Speaker 1: me on his uncertain future, he spoke like a human being.

1181
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:56,359
Speaker 1: He and his wonderful wife, Tory, have an eighteen month

1182
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:59,279
Speaker 1: old daughter, and Fulls said that the main reason he

1183
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:01,399
Speaker 1: has any anxiety about any of this, and the main

1184
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:03,880
Speaker 1: reason that he wants to know where he's going, is

1185
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 1: the same exact reason that any husband and father with

1186
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:09,600
Speaker 1: an uncertain work situation when feel anxiety. He's like, I've

1187
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:11,920
Speaker 1: got a young family. I'd love to know where we're

1188
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:13,439
Speaker 1: laying down our roots. I just want to know where

1189
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:15,759
Speaker 1: we're living. I want to know where my wife and

1190
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:19,520
Speaker 1: my daughter can say his home, and that is dad's stuff.

1191
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:21,640
Speaker 1: That's not players stuff, that's dad stuff that we all

1192
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:25,759
Speaker 1: can relate to. Nick Foles speaks openly, He speaks honestly,

1193
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:29,560
Speaker 1: and he speaks as if football is almost secondary to life.

1194
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:32,160
Speaker 1: And for that, I would say this about Nick Foles.

1195
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 1: He is one of a kind, and every time he speaks,

1196
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:37,680
Speaker 1: either publicly or privately, I beg you to listen. He

1197
00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 1: may just be thirty years old, but this dude is

1198
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:43,319
Speaker 1: as wise, as classy, and as gentle a guy that

1199
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:46,080
Speaker 1: you'll come across. I wish him all the best of

1200
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:48,759
Speaker 1: luck and however, the next stage of his career plays out.

1201
00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 1: I know Philadelphia does as well, but I also know

1202
00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:52,960
Speaker 1: that he doesn't need that from any of us. That

1203
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 1: kid is doing just fine as he is. Nick Foles.

1204
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:57,960
Speaker 1: Hats off to you. An amazing run. And if you

1205
00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:00,640
Speaker 1: never play for the Eagles again, that's all good. You're

1206
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:03,399
Speaker 1: doing things the right way. Good job, that's awesome. There's

1207
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:05,560
Speaker 1: something to be learned about this. You said that he

1208
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:08,440
Speaker 1: almost walked away from the game, which you have to

1209
00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:10,680
Speaker 1: come to grips that you don't need the game anymore.

1210
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:13,319
Speaker 1: And there's a freedom in that. I've been there late

1211
00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:15,360
Speaker 1: in my career where I realized I don't need to

1212
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:17,480
Speaker 1: chase some money. I don't need chase the Lombardi. Now

1213
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:19,880
Speaker 1: I've never been better on the field. There's a ton

1214
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:21,920
Speaker 1: of guys right now. They're pressing because they feel like

1215
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:24,000
Speaker 1: they need the cash, they need the team, they need

1216
00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:26,440
Speaker 1: the adoration to praise on the fans. But once you

1217
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:29,440
Speaker 1: free yourself up and you believe in something bigger than football.

1218
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 1: I know it sounds crazy and counterproductive, but you'll be

1219
00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:35,040
Speaker 1: amazed how well you play on the field. And that's why,

1220
00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:37,560
Speaker 1: just like you're saying, Nick Foles, he's one of these

1221
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:41,040
Speaker 1: magical runs because he realizes it's out of my control anyway,

1222
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:43,800
Speaker 1: and I don't need to almost walked away the word

1223
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:47,279
Speaker 1: everyone says, from Peterson to Helodi, Nada to Cox to

1224
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:50,840
Speaker 1: all these guys, he is exactly the same person he

1225
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:52,680
Speaker 1: is on the field and off the field, and he's

1226
00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:55,719
Speaker 1: not trying to put on any front like it's vulnerable.

1227
00:56:55,960 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 1: He's human. All these quarterbacks are superstars, but Nick Foles

1228
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:02,160
Speaker 1: himself is still just a thirty year old dude who's

1229
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:03,680
Speaker 1: just trying to make a living. And I love that.

1230
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:06,720
Speaker 1: I love that. I think the Eagles players really responded

1231
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 1: to it. And wherever he goes next, that's going to

1232
00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:11,160
Speaker 1: be cool. But like this period of his life was

1233
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:13,600
Speaker 1: really inspiring, not only for the team, but for like

1234
00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:15,840
Speaker 1: people who could be sorry just to watch it is

1235
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:17,440
Speaker 1: really there's a lot of quarterbacks we would not have

1236
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:19,439
Speaker 1: done that. After the Jeffrey drop, they're throwing their hands

1237
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:21,480
Speaker 1: up like that and the whole thing on the sideline.

1238
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:23,120
Speaker 1: It's not for the cameras and it's not even for

1239
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:24,760
Speaker 1: their They're probably never played together again, you know what

1240
00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 1: I mean. It was just because it was the right

1241
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:28,080
Speaker 1: thing to this friend. It's pretty cool. Good. So, if

1242
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:30,200
Speaker 1: you're an Eagles fan, how are you looking at this

1243
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 1: situation now where we're seeing that Foles might be somewhere

1244
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:35,080
Speaker 1: next year, he might even be in the same division.

1245
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:37,600
Speaker 1: Do you want I mean that story, it's not you

1246
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:39,240
Speaker 1: can't not be in love with Foles and just want

1247
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:41,920
Speaker 1: to best for him. So our Eagles fans on his

1248
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:46,360
Speaker 1: side door they want him to stay and phil it's

1249
00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:49,880
Speaker 1: almost like it's better to have loved and lost than

1250
00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:51,800
Speaker 1: to not have him at all. Like, so you think

1251
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:53,360
Speaker 1: the Eagles fans are like, he shouldn't even have to

1252
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:55,400
Speaker 1: pay the two million to buy him buy himself out

1253
00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:57,160
Speaker 1: because he might not have to let him. You know,

1254
00:57:57,200 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 1: it was other the right thing to do for the

1255
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:01,920
Speaker 1: hero in Philadelphia. If you love someone, set them free.

1256
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 1: I think they will always love Nick Foles for what

1257
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:05,600
Speaker 1: he did for them, but they understand what time we

1258
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 1: all know that couple that broke up and they're great

1259
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:10,440
Speaker 1: friends and it kind of blows you away that they

1260
00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:12,360
Speaker 1: can hang ass and still be friends. Yeah still be

1261
00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:20,120
Speaker 1: oh man, they're still Friends'll get jealous. Go on somebody's

1262
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:23,320
Speaker 1: Instagram and read right, it's my success. We've been through life. Okay,

1263
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:28,280
Speaker 1: love Freddie Kitchens, Give me more Freddie Kitchens. He will

1264
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:32,720
Speaker 1: win every single press conference. Well, everyone usually gets along

1265
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:35,440
Speaker 1: at the breakfast table, but there are some topics that

1266
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:39,760
Speaker 1: they just can't agree on. That's what two point conversing is. Four.

1267
00:58:40,080 --> 00:58:42,880
Speaker 1: Here's what Nate and Peter debated this week after a

1268
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:47,520
Speaker 1: wild week of headlines. All right, time for two point conversing.

1269
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:49,200
Speaker 1: As you guys know, I spent many years in the

1270
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:51,640
Speaker 1: press box and Nate spent many years on the field.

1271
00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 1: We agree on a lot, but not on everything. Over

1272
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:55,520
Speaker 1: the course of the week, we figure out where we

1273
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 1: have differences and we hash them out in this segment.

1274
00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:00,200
Speaker 1: I don't use any cards or research. Nate has a

1275
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:03,600
Speaker 1: book in his hand so he can read off his notes. Yeah, Burner,

1276
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:08,400
Speaker 1: Carty b I'll start. Here's my statement. You tell me

1277
00:59:08,400 --> 00:59:10,560
Speaker 1: if you agree or disagree, and that home. You guys

1278
00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:13,560
Speaker 1: tell us all right. Number one, the Steelers should move

1279
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:16,480
Speaker 1: on from Antonio Brown? Agree, disagree? No? Why would you

1280
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:18,120
Speaker 1: move on from one of the best players in the business.

1281
00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:21,920
Speaker 1: You just put a fifteen touchdoils. Oftentimes coaches organizations they

1282
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:24,200
Speaker 1: get into fillings because players are in the fillings and

1283
00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:28,160
Speaker 1: their organization goes in the opposite direction. You have Antonio Brown.

1284
00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:30,760
Speaker 1: What do you have left after that? Shrikes Gudrid Smith,

1285
00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:32,760
Speaker 1: Schuster and a bunch of good dudes, Guys who want

1286
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:34,600
Speaker 1: to be there? What do you stand for? What do

1287
00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:36,880
Speaker 1: the Steelers stand for? If you're gonna keep Levi on

1288
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:40,160
Speaker 1: Bell on ice. This guy, Antonio Brown has his meltdown

1289
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:42,000
Speaker 1: obviously at the end of the season, and then goes

1290
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:44,920
Speaker 1: on Instagram Live with James Harrison, who's a bitter x Steeler.

1291
00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:47,520
Speaker 1: He goes on and says business is booming while the

1292
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:50,000
Speaker 1: owner the owner are Rooney's talking. Look, I don't think

1293
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:52,200
Speaker 1: the Steelers were in the right necessarily in all this stuff.

1294
00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:53,800
Speaker 1: I mean, this could have been address during the season,

1295
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:55,360
Speaker 1: But why not ripped the band aid and build your

1296
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:58,000
Speaker 1: team around guys like I don't know, Cam Hayward, David DeCastro,

1297
00:59:58,240 --> 00:59:59,680
Speaker 1: guys who want to be there, who stand for the

1298
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:02,560
Speaker 1: Steeler away? Yeah, move on. I mean, Juju's a first receiver,

1299
01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:04,040
Speaker 1: you trade him for a first round pick and he

1300
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:05,840
Speaker 1: move on. Juju's a beast. Don't get me wrong. He

1301
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 1: said Juju in a bunch of good dudes. How about

1302
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:10,360
Speaker 1: a great man and Antonio Brown as soon to be

1303
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:15,200
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer fifteen touchdowns. This same organization could get

1304
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:17,120
Speaker 1: anything done with lately on build the same organization that.

1305
01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:21,360
Speaker 1: Let's big Ben say, he's the most passive, aggressive quarterback.

1306
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 1: He's a leader of this team. How come as a

1307
01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:27,000
Speaker 1: quarterback you can't figure out a ways the twoth pigs

1308
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:29,320
Speaker 1: out of the two they've okay and then rowners early.

1309
01:00:29,560 --> 01:00:31,600
Speaker 1: How how are you gonna make it work? I'm glad

1310
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:33,720
Speaker 1: you said that, because the two paces out of two?

1311
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:35,480
Speaker 1: What about Tim Kelly when he got rid of Lashawn

1312
01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:38,439
Speaker 1: McCoy and Deshan Jackson. Later he was gone, what about

1313
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:41,040
Speaker 1: Adam Gates? He got rid of Jarvis Landry and Dominican

1314
01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:43,240
Speaker 1: Sue Later on he was gone. I'm just saying, be

1315
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:45,400
Speaker 1: careful what you wish for getting rid of your star players,

1316
01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 1: because you could be next on a chopping blox as

1317
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:49,640
Speaker 1: a coach. Good stuff, all right, let's get this thing going,

1318
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:54,720
Speaker 1: all right? Next statement a coach's introductory press conference really matters?

1319
01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:57,800
Speaker 1: Oh this is how no like it was great for

1320
01:00:58,040 --> 01:01:00,960
Speaker 1: you know, tweets and memes, but everyone's saying Adam gains

1321
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:04,959
Speaker 1: a disaster because of his eye placement during a press

1322
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:08,560
Speaker 1: conference is overreacting here. I don't remember Doug Peterson's press conference.

1323
01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:12,000
Speaker 1: This is Amber Bill Belichick's press guy. It doesn't matter

1324
01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 1: if there's three and oh, I don't care about these

1325
01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:17,400
Speaker 1: crazy guys. If there's three and oh, no one's gonna

1326
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:19,080
Speaker 1: be worried about this. But this is what is he

1327
01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 1: doing on the feast. And this is a new day

1328
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:23,080
Speaker 1: and age. You're talking about older press conferences. Yes, now

1329
01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:26,160
Speaker 1: viral videos matter. And the one thing the press conference

1330
01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:28,400
Speaker 1: would do will either give you a head start or

1331
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:30,320
Speaker 1: will dig you a hole. I get it. It may

1332
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:33,120
Speaker 1: not say anything about his coaching and what he's gonna

1333
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:35,280
Speaker 1: bring to the table. But when you go out there,

1334
01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:38,320
Speaker 1: if people have this mindset of you in New York

1335
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:41,320
Speaker 1: of all places, like they eat two alive, if this

1336
01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:44,000
Speaker 1: guy's owing four, there's not gonna be chuckles. And what

1337
01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:46,440
Speaker 1: a good dude, Freddy is? You gotta win games? I

1338
01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:48,400
Speaker 1: don't think the press conference. The owner of the Jets,

1339
01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:50,360
Speaker 1: Christopher Johnson, said it best. He says, I'm not trying

1340
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:52,880
Speaker 1: to win Twitter, trying to win games. And that's all

1341
01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:55,760
Speaker 1: I think matters. Like, so, you know the barstool guys

1342
01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:57,520
Speaker 1: are Will Brinson take a couple of shots at you,

1343
01:01:57,680 --> 01:01:59,720
Speaker 1: like life will go on. This guy had a great

1344
01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:02,160
Speaker 1: press conference. If they're owing six, guess what, they're not

1345
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:04,280
Speaker 1: gonna be loving this guy. It matters what happens in

1346
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:06,720
Speaker 1: this season. The press conference is a formality at this point.

1347
01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:10,280
Speaker 1: Chairs you are a New Yorker through and through well

1348
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:12,920
Speaker 1: New Jersey, shout out the freehold. But you know exactly

1349
01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:16,280
Speaker 1: what they're gonna do if this doesn't, if they're gonna hey,

1350
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:21,520
Speaker 1: if they're come on, come on, hey stop man, hey, listen,

1351
01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:24,480
Speaker 1: you know exactly what they're gonna do. If this look

1352
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:29,640
Speaker 1: at them, no man staring in my soul. Peter Busting

1353
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:34,320
Speaker 1: coverage had some funny stuff on it to say sports prickle.

1354
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:36,360
Speaker 1: The ringer had a real dig on I'm like, who

1355
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:40,720
Speaker 1: cares about Twitter? Honestly? Sports pickles? Pickle? What up? DJ

1356
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:45,200
Speaker 1: Gallo nailed it. Last segment, alright, and last statement, This

1357
01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:47,720
Speaker 1: one's gonna be fun because everyone's all over the place

1358
01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:51,760
Speaker 1: of Chicago. Yeah. Statement is Cody Parkey should not have

Speaker 1: He misses the field goal, it gets tipped however you

1362
01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:02,360
Speaker 1: want to put it. The city, the team, the organizations,

1363
01:03:02,360 --> 01:03:05,320
Speaker 1: they're still healing. Look four days later you go and

1364
01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:07,840
Speaker 1: you do a media run and you're talking about this

1365
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:10,920
Speaker 1: good message and what it means to you. I just

1366
01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:12,920
Speaker 1: don't like it. I get the message, and I'm fine

1367
01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:15,440
Speaker 1: with that. But you know how many guys don't drop balls,

1368
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:18,440
Speaker 1: made mistakes, do interceptions, miss field goals, gave up a

1369
01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:21,600
Speaker 1: big touchdown, and they got to bite that bullet, shut

1370
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:23,919
Speaker 1: up and chill out into the city hills and wait

1371
01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:26,040
Speaker 1: for their team in organization to get over it before

1372
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:27,920
Speaker 1: you go on a media run. I feel like he

1373
01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:30,280
Speaker 1: could have handled it better. Have we not evolved as humans?

1374
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:33,960
Speaker 1: What are we dinosaurs? Like? You can't go on TV.

1375
01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:38,680
Speaker 1: This kid has had a great message. He's like football

1376
01:03:38,720 --> 01:03:41,160
Speaker 1: doesn't define me, Like life's gonna be all right. I

1377
01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:43,280
Speaker 1: believe in God. I'm religious. Like I'm gonna go and

1378
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:46,320
Speaker 1: share my message and maybe change one kid who's been bullied,

1379
01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:48,800
Speaker 1: changed his life for spepstim Maybe won't change one person

1380
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:52,240
Speaker 1: who's missed an opportunity like what we monsters? Like? Look

1381
01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:54,040
Speaker 1: are he going on today's show to spread a good message?

1382
01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:55,760
Speaker 1: We really have to be critical of that there's nothing

1383
01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:57,919
Speaker 1: wrong with the message. I agree with the message. Any

1384
01:03:58,000 --> 01:03:59,760
Speaker 1: chance you can go out and spread the good word,

1385
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:02,160
Speaker 1: even if it comes off the kick that he missed.

1386
01:04:02,560 --> 01:04:05,600
Speaker 1: But I will say this, alshon Jeffrey drops the ball,

1387
01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:07,440
Speaker 1: his team could have went through the super Bowl and

1388
01:04:07,560 --> 01:04:09,680
Speaker 1: his head. He lost that game. He's not going and

1389
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:11,560
Speaker 1: going on a tour. You know how many guys that

1390
01:04:11,720 --> 01:04:14,480
Speaker 1: lost games and they sit back and they relax and

1391
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:16,720
Speaker 1: wait to heal up strags. I will say this, you're

1392
01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:18,840
Speaker 1: the same dude that said that the Philadelphia Eagles were

1393
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:21,360
Speaker 1: out there doing too many things, writing too many books.

1394
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:23,000
Speaker 1: You're gonna let this do go on a media tour,

1395
01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:28,240
Speaker 1: have to missing a kick says you're contradicting yourself. Well,
