Speaker 1: Nine days until Super Bowl fifty nine in New Orleans.
Speaker 1: That's right, we're down to single digit. You see that
Speaker 1: Louisiana purchase down there, there was an eighteen oh three
Speaker 1: fifteen million. These quarterbacks you're seeing, they could buy Louisiana
Speaker 1: and all that other territory like four times over just
Speaker 1: on their per year salary.
Speaker 2: We've got some Super Bowl financials coming up for you.
Speaker 1: And next week before the Super Bowl, we're going to
Speaker 1: be handing out awards MVP, Offensive Player of the Year,
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the.
Speaker 2: Year, all that good stuff.
Speaker 1: Our Judy Batista is going to give you the breakdown
Speaker 1: on who she thinks should go home with the hardware.
Speaker 1: And maybe one day we'll be honoring Shador Sanders, the
Speaker 1: Colorado quarterback.
Speaker 2: He was at the Shrine Bowl.
Speaker 1: He didn't play, he didn't practice, but he is on
Speaker 1: the minds of those teams with picks.
Speaker 2: Let's say maybe in the top ten.
Speaker 1: We'll discuss where he might go in the draft, and
Speaker 1: he'll be talking to our Jane Slater one on one
Speaker 1: as well. It is the Inside Friday Edition, Bye Week edition.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, Judy, we're getting closer. When you can
Speaker 1: count him on one hand or two hands, just not
Speaker 1: have to go over. That means you're getting closer to
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. We'll be flying to New Orleans come soon.
Speaker 1: Judy Bautista joining me here. I told you she's going
Speaker 1: to have her thoughts on the hardware when it comes
Speaker 1: to the NFL Awards coming up. We're gonna have plenty
Speaker 1: of Super Bowl talk. We're gonna hear from as I mentioned,
Speaker 1: shod Or Sanders, Jalen Hurts, Patrick Mahomes as well, Brian
Speaker 1: Kelly doing an interview with our Tom Pellasero from the SUO.
Speaker 1: Enough talking about what's coming in the show, Let's get
Speaker 1: the show going. We'll start with what is new today.
Speaker 1: Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore. He's got a busy week
Speaker 1: right now. He is getting ready for the Chiefs in
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. He is also getting ready for the
Speaker 1: possibility that he's going to be the Saints new head coach.
Speaker 1: We reported this the Insiders earlier today that the Saints
Speaker 1: are planning to meet with Kellen Moore after the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: That's the next time they can talk to him. No
Speaker 1: hiring can become official until then. For the second time
Speaker 1: in three years, the Eagles are playing the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: in a place where one of their coordinators might stay
Speaker 1: as the head coach. We talked about that Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: You gotta practice before you play in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: The Eagles doing just that at the Novacare Complex in Philadelphia.
Speaker 2: A lot of guys resting, But.
Speaker 1: I got a feeling a lot of those guys, including
Speaker 1: linebacker Zach Bond, All Pro linebacker Zach Bond, gonna heal
Speaker 1: up when it comes closer to game time. In the meantime,
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts talking about preparing for that Chiefs defense and
Speaker 1: Steve Spagnolo, what do.
Speaker 3: You think makes Kansas City's defense challenging in the way
Speaker 3: Steve Spagnolo schemes that defense.
Speaker 4: He's been great, He's been great, very how success rate
Speaker 4: in what they do? Great players, great defensive bad group
Speaker 4: ouse Chris Jones up front, and so it'll be a
Speaker 4: great challenge, be another great challenge for us.
Speaker 3: Jahn.
Speaker 2: You had to deal with a few things here, legencies
Speaker 2: and the.
Speaker 5: Concussion, the knee, and you mentioned an illness last week.
Speaker 5: How are you feeling right now heading into Super Bowl week.
Speaker 4: I'm a little called, but I'm fine. The knees good
Speaker 4: and fine.
Speaker 2: The knee is good, the lungs are good. Everything is good.
Speaker 1: We're great, by the way, because joining Judy and me
Speaker 1: right now is our Steve Weisch.
Speaker 2: And Adam Rank. Cam Wolf is going to be along
Speaker 2: a little bit later.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you we're hitting this game from every single angle.
Speaker 1: Steve I talked about the injuries for the Eagles, those
Speaker 1: on the injury report, those not practicing. Landon Dickerson and
Speaker 1: Cam Jurgens, the two guys that played center in the
Speaker 1: NFC Championship game, both dealing with knee injuries ahead of
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. What's the latest there, Yeah, Mike heel,
Speaker 1: they have not practiced all week, but like you said,
Speaker 1: we'd expect him to play in the Super Bowl, especially
Speaker 1: how they soldier through that NFC Championship game. Remember, Jurgens
Speaker 1: was active the starting center, but he was not scheduled
Speaker 1: to play because of that knee injury. So Dickerson moves
Speaker 1: over from guard and he gets a knee injury. But
Speaker 1: he really played well until then, including executing the Toush
Speaker 1: push That is not an easy thing.
Speaker 6: For a backup to come to do. So he gets hurt.
Speaker 6: So now Jurgens comes in and plays very well. I
Speaker 6: remember Jurgens is great, you're pulling and in the screen game,
Speaker 6: so it opened up their offense. Getting both of them
Speaker 6: back to the natural positions could help out. Jalen hurt
Speaker 6: To again had that knee wrapped up, braced up, but
Speaker 6: performed well. But getting this offensive lineback could be cruised
Speaker 6: for Philadelphia against that defensive front for the Kansas City
Speaker 6: Chiefs and what they like to do upfront, especially later
Speaker 6: in games. So them getting some well deserved rest this
Speaker 6: week is significant for the Eagles offense.
Speaker 7: They get in this short yarded situations and they have
Speaker 7: to give it to Saquon Barkley for a change. And
Speaker 7: I'm not saying that because I'm a better person who
Speaker 7: had Saquon Barkley and fantasy football, but still it's a
Speaker 7: significant thing and you have to wonder how this impacts
Speaker 7: the rest of the Eagles offense, including Saquon Barkley. But
Speaker 7: what's interesting to note about Saquon is that he has
Speaker 7: won of three players in NFL history who is rushed
Speaker 7: for over four hundred yards in his games in leading
Speaker 7: up to.
Speaker 2: The Super Bowl.
Speaker 7: The other two guys who did it were John Riggins
Speaker 7: back in nineteen eighty two and Treil Davis back in
Speaker 7: nineteen ninety seven. Both of those players that, interestingly enough,
Speaker 7: went on to win Super Bowl MVP awards. John Riggins
Speaker 7: had like one hundred and sixty six yards in that
Speaker 7: game against the Miami Dolphins. He had a big run
Speaker 7: on fourth and short. You remember that, Steve, you were
Speaker 7: probably there and then Carel Davis, I don't listen.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 7: Maybe you were, you've been. You're an accomplished journalist, Steve.
Speaker 7: But at the same time, Trell Davis also the guy
Speaker 7: who helped carry the Denver Broncos to a Super Bowl
Speaker 7: victory over I forget who they played, some insignificant he
Speaker 7: doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: But both those.
Speaker 7: Guys went out there carried both their team. I expect
Speaker 7: Sakawon Markley to do something. What I'm just saying, I'm
Speaker 7: trying to talk about Saquon Barkley. He's very good and
Speaker 7: he has an opportunity to repeat history.
Speaker 8: Who else is really good?
Speaker 9: Steve Cooper jjen who's had a real impact as a rookie.
Speaker 9: I believe he is only allowing five point two yards
Speaker 9: per target this season, that includes the playoffs.
Speaker 8: Very very good. What kind of impact do we expect
Speaker 8: him to have on this game.
Speaker 2: Well, look, he to me is the player in the
Speaker 2: Eagle secondary.
Speaker 6: He's going to be stressed the most is where do
Speaker 6: the Kansas City Chiefs like to go with the ball?
Speaker 2: In between the hashes?
Speaker 6: Travis Kelce, Jujus Smith Schuster, they're running backs plus Patrick
Speaker 6: Mahomes running the football.
Speaker 10: Well.
Speaker 6: Cooper Degene, as you just said, has really stood up
Speaker 6: to the task. He's been solid in coverage, but he
Speaker 6: is a sure tackler who's always.
Speaker 11: Around the ball.
Speaker 6: Has got three forced fumbles four fumble recoveries on the season.
Speaker 6: We saw how effective he was when Washington tried to
Speaker 6: go across the middle of the field last week.
Speaker 2: So this is going to be huge.
Speaker 6: And the cords to next Gen stats, he's allowed twenty
Speaker 6: eight catches on forty one targets, but for just two
Speaker 6: hundred and twenty seven yards and zero touchdowns when he's
Speaker 6: playing from the slot. Again, this is where the Chiefs
Speaker 6: like to do work.
Speaker 2: So this rookie.
Speaker 6: Look at the tackling for him as he is absolutely
Speaker 6: tackling dummies.
Speaker 2: Derrick Henry right here, always around the ball.
Speaker 6: Again, this is somebody I think is really going to
Speaker 6: be stressed in this game.
Speaker 2: He's no longer rookie.
Speaker 6: He's somebody who's going to have to step up. And
Speaker 6: so far, especially coming off that NFC Championship game, we
Speaker 6: had a tie this season high with six tackles. He
Speaker 6: seems ready to get the job done.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's one of the most impressive things about this
Speaker 7: Eagles team that even though they have a number of stars,
Speaker 7: it's the rest of the roster from top to bottom,
Speaker 7: who are very good. And when you look at the
Speaker 7: Eagles on the offensive side of the ball, let's look
Speaker 7: in there. Because last time these two teams met in
Speaker 7: the Super Bowl, Devata Smith, AJ Brown and Dallas Goddard
Speaker 7: each had over sixty receiving yards in that game. As
Speaker 7: a matter of fact, the last time the Chiefs have
Speaker 7: allowed three players in one game to go over sixty yards.
Speaker 11: But I look at Dallas Goddard.
Speaker 7: He leads the Eagles with fifteen receptions for one hundred
Speaker 7: and eighty eight yards in a touchdown in the twenty
Speaker 7: twenty four playoffs. He's had at least forty receiving yards
Speaker 7: in each of the three postseason games. His best was
Speaker 7: in the NFC Championship Game, when he had seven receptions
Speaker 7: for eighty five yards.
Speaker 11: Also got the hand got a handoff a couple of times.
Speaker 7: Here's the interesting thing, though, the Chiefs are actually very
Speaker 7: vulnerable the tight ends this season. They allowed the most
Speaker 7: passing yards to the position this year. However, they did
Speaker 7: not allow a single touchdown the tight ends this year.
Speaker 11: They allowed six red.
Speaker 7: Zone targets to tight ends, three goal to go targets
Speaker 7: to tight end. So I don't know who that's significant to.
Speaker 7: For anybody who's looking for somebody who could be scoring
Speaker 7: a touchdown at any moment, anybody can be scoring a
Speaker 7: tother that might be something to file away. It might
Speaker 7: not be Dallas Goddard.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you got? Rank, heads or tails? Let's
Speaker 1: start with the earliest possible one of those. Thank you,
Speaker 1: Adam Rank and Steve Wes's wife's travel safe, buddy. We're
Speaker 1: going to see you in New Orleans. Rank, We're going
Speaker 1: to see you right here later in the show. Do
Speaker 1: not go anywhere, folks. We had some offensive coordinator hires
Speaker 1: today and first timers at that. This was an interview
Speaker 1: for Clayton Adams, the Cardinals offensive line coach.
Speaker 2: This one later came official.
Speaker 1: Adam's now going to be the offensive coordinator for the
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys for Brian Schottenheimer's staff. He brings that experience
Speaker 1: upfront in that running game to what Schottenheimer and company
Speaker 1: are going to do in the passing game. Josh Grizzard
Speaker 1: thirty four. Can't believe that thirty four is calling plays
Speaker 1: in the NFL. To replace Liam Cohen, Tampa was hoping
Speaker 1: that they could get some continuity for Baker Mayfield and company.
Speaker 1: Mayfield a fan of Grizzard, as are a bunch of
Speaker 1: folks in that building. So he gets promoted to replace
Speaker 1: Liam Cohen. We had an Adams and a Grizzard. We
Speaker 1: had a grizzly Adams. He did have a beard Tanner Engstrand.
Speaker 2: Well maybe he does. He's got a little bit of
Speaker 2: a shadow there.
Speaker 1: He's the new offensive coordinator four of the Jets for
Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn Staff comes with him from Detroit to make
Speaker 1: that happen.
Speaker 2: So there you go. We've got a little couple more
Speaker 2: coordinators to hire.
Speaker 1: But today was a big day in filling some slots
Speaker 1: on these coaching staffs that were vacated previously.
Speaker 2: Eric at Holm our guy with our mock draft, I had.
Speaker 1: My friend the other day he said, it's a mock
Speaker 1: draft with a'm duel Carter first over that can't be Yes,
Speaker 1: it's very possible.
Speaker 2: At home believes that that will wind up being the case.
Speaker 1: You had the Titans saying that they don't want to
Speaker 1: pass on a generational talent.
Speaker 2: A lot of people think he is a generational talent.
Speaker 1: Will six teams pass on shedor Sanders though, that's the
Speaker 1: question we're going to continue to ask and try to
Speaker 1: answer before a draft day. Speaking of questions and Sanders,
Speaker 1: our Jane Slater had a bunch for him at the Shrine.
Speaker 12: Bowl Scouts obviously a lot of them were talking to
Speaker 12: you this weekend. What was the one thing that stood
Speaker 12: out to you from some of those interactions, some of.
Speaker 2: The feedback or the interest.
Speaker 12: Have you got one of the craziest questions yet?
Speaker 13: No, the thing that was my dad was calling me.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 13: That that was the most funniest thing.
Speaker 2: My dad would call me.
Speaker 13: You know, he has separation anxiety, so yeah, he kept
Speaker 13: calling me. I said, look, Pops is over it. You know,
Speaker 13: it's time for me to sawhim own. So the coaches
Speaker 13: enjoyed at I'm my open books. So whatever questions they
Speaker 13: have for me, they asked, and I was just excited
Speaker 13: for the sounds and the first time they actually was
Speaker 13: able to meet me in person.
Speaker 12: And so, what's the one thing that you that you
Speaker 12: think maybe people don't know about you.
Speaker 13: I'm really a humble guy. Yeah, I'm really a humble guy.
Speaker 13: I'm a team player and I just love football. I
Speaker 13: did everything you know I want to do and ken
Speaker 13: do in life just by Altpops with me helped us.
Speaker 2: Grow up in everything.
Speaker 13: So he is still working us. And he knew at
Speaker 13: the end of the day was minus mine was yours
Speaker 13: is years so he never he never gave us like
Speaker 13: the privileged life that to that sense.
Speaker 2: So he made us.
Speaker 13: Work for everything. And now you know, I'm just thankful
Speaker 13: to be out here, to be out here grinding and
Speaker 13: playing each and every week, each and every day, doing.
Speaker 2: Something I love for it.
Speaker 12: What's it like being an AT and T stadium when
Speaker 12: you think about obviously this isn't where your dad played,
Speaker 12: but just the Cowboys in general, Uncle Irv. I know
Speaker 12: you're tight with him now.
Speaker 13: Being in this stadium is definitely it is definitely fun.
Speaker 13: I know I'll play here very soon against the Cowboys,
Speaker 13: but Nah, it is definitely a dream come true being
Speaker 13: able to be at this Bowl game, watching my brothers
Speaker 13: out there, watching my teammates out there, being a part
Speaker 13: of this whole thing that's going on. So I'm just thankful.
Speaker 12: What are you most excited as we get ready for
Speaker 12: the draft? Calmine any of those things that excite you.
Speaker 13: I'm excited by the challenges each and every day is
Speaker 13: work and you're on your own, you know. So that's
Speaker 13: what I'm most excited for, being out there pushing yourself
Speaker 13: to the limits.
Speaker 2: With and you know you're not with a group of
Speaker 2: people were isolated. We're our dad house. Thankful that he
Speaker 2: built a nice house for it, for the.
Speaker 13: Turfield there, everything we could ask for, so that now
Speaker 13: he got.
Speaker 2: He gave us a resources.
Speaker 8: Now the work is there.
Speaker 2: So that said, just going working every day a little
Speaker 2: known factor our viewers.
Speaker 1: I know you don't believe this, but we can hear you,
Speaker 1: and we heard you laugh when he said he's a
Speaker 1: humble guy while he was wearing that necklace right there.
Speaker 1: I've got some thoughts on that in just a second, okay,
Speaker 1: But in the meantime, here are the projections which are
Speaker 1: sort of all over the place from our guys with
Speaker 1: their mock drafts so far, and that might wind up
Speaker 1: be in the case all the way through the draft
Speaker 1: because Shador Sanders is sort of an eye of the
Speaker 1: beholder prospect in the minds of a lot of folks
Speaker 1: in the NFL.
Speaker 2: Judy, as we bring.
Speaker 1: You back in here because I want to get your
Speaker 1: thoughts on him as well. But him saying he is
Speaker 1: a humble guy. I heard Joe Shane, the Giants general manager,
Speaker 1: and I'm going to talk specifically about the Giants and
Speaker 1: the Jets.
Speaker 2: There's that Chaine right there.
Speaker 1: He talked about him being a good kid and football
Speaker 1: smart and a smart kid, and a lot of compliments
Speaker 1: to him, and yeah, he's got the chain going on.
Speaker 1: But he's had a camera in his face since he
Speaker 1: was a kid because of who his father is. And
Speaker 1: I think you're going to be impressed a lot of
Speaker 1: folks when you see him in interviews leading up to
Speaker 1: the draft, and I know NFL teams are as well.
Speaker 2: I heard that from.
Speaker 1: Joe Shane with the Giants who need a quarterback and
Speaker 1: potentially with the Jets. So your thoughts on Shador Sanders
Speaker 1: potentially joining us in the new York market.
Speaker 9: I think we should be so lucky. I mean, just
Speaker 9: from that little snippet of him talking to Jane there,
Speaker 9: you can see what a great personality he has and
Speaker 9: how well he carries himself. That smile would go a
Speaker 9: long way in New York. Look, both teams, the Giants
Speaker 9: and Jets, obviously have quarterback situations that have to be resolved.
Speaker 9: That Giants don't have one. The Jets have to make
Speaker 9: a decision on Aaron Rodgers. And once we get that decision,
Speaker 9: and Aaron Glenn certainly made it sound like he would
Speaker 9: like to have clarity on that situation sooner rather than later,
Speaker 9: then we will get a clearer sense of what the Jets.
Speaker 8: Might do in the draft.
Speaker 9: Right now, Eric has mocked cam Ward to the Giants
Speaker 9: and Sugar Sanders to the Jets, which is probably a
Speaker 9: dream scenario for both teams for the quarterbacks to just
Speaker 9: drop into their laps. Certainly, there's no question that the
Speaker 9: Giants have expressed interest in the quarterbacks. It's not really
Speaker 9: clear who they might have even more interest in one
Speaker 9: over the other, but there's no question that is what
Speaker 9: we're all going to be focusing on as we get
Speaker 9: closer to the draft again the Jets.
Speaker 8: I think we'll get.
Speaker 9: More clarity in the coming weeks when we figure out
Speaker 9: what's going on with Aaron Rodgers. One thing to keep
Speaker 9: an eye on with the Jets. First time head coach,
Speaker 9: first time general manager, and now we know a first
Speaker 9: time offensive coordinator and play caller. Would you want a
Speaker 9: very experienced quarterback to maybe help smooth that transition or
Speaker 9: do you just want to go with the clean slate,
Speaker 9: rip off the bandaid, and go young a quarterback.
Speaker 8: We will see.
Speaker 1: It's going to be tough to project right now. I'll
Speaker 1: start with the Giants. I'll focus more on the Giants.
Speaker 1: I should say it's gonna be hard to project duty because
Speaker 1: well before the draft, you're going to have free agency,
Speaker 1: and I believe they're going to be a player in
Speaker 1: veteran free agency. Right now, they have only Tommy DeVito
Speaker 1: under contract, So what happens there might provide them the
Speaker 1: flexibility or give them a thought heading into the draft
Speaker 1: for hey, we're good with a veteran here.
Speaker 2: We don't have to force the pick.
Speaker 1: Because another factor at play is what happens ahead of them.
Speaker 1: If the Cleveland Browns and the Tennessee Titans decide they
Speaker 1: want to take a quarterback the Giants, as Joe Shane
Speaker 1: indicated said, we could sit right there. Whether it's Abdul
Speaker 1: Carter or Travis Hunter, we know we're going to get
Speaker 1: a good player at three, no matter how it all
Speaker 1: shakes out. We've got a lot of shows to fill
Speaker 1: between now and the end of April, and we're going
Speaker 1: to do it talking about these guys and some of
Speaker 1: these teams, including the Giants and Jets in the top ten.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Judy. We'll have you back in just a short.
Speaker 1: While here before we go to break and talk about
Speaker 1: those awards that you're coming back to talk about Jayden Daniels.
Speaker 1: We expect him to be the offensive rookie of the Year
Speaker 1: of Brock Bauers had a little bit of something to
Speaker 1: say about it. Judy's going to break it all down
Speaker 1: and let us know who she thinks should go home
Speaker 1: with the hardware. And Patrick Mahomes is going to play
Speaker 1: a football game in nine days once again. The Chiefs
Speaker 1: and what they have been able to do extremely impressive.
Speaker 2: Our Cameron Wolf is coming back, is.
Speaker 1: Joining us and Adam Rank coming back to talk Chiefs
Speaker 1: and Mahomes ahead of the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: New right now into the Insiders.
Speaker 1: We told you in our last segment that Kellen Moore
Speaker 1: is likely going to land with the New Orleans Saints.
Speaker 1: It's not official, but they're going to meet with him
Speaker 1: after the Super Bowl, likely to hire him because they
Speaker 1: could have hired Darren Rizzy or one of the other candidates.
Speaker 1: Right now, he didn't do it, so Rizzy, according to
Speaker 1: our ian Rappaport, who is not on the program tonight
Speaker 1: but always working, likely to become the new Broncos special
Speaker 1: teams coordinator, reuniting with Sean Payton.
Speaker 10: There, Yeah, let's make history Kansas City.
Speaker 2: You ready can we ste elite?
Speaker 14: They got no party on the leash, the tilt the
Speaker 14: three by week in hit the perfects on their peace
Speaker 14: chiefs Kingdom. They looked at the thrown it to the
Speaker 14: sea and they go defid but no miss Kings. If
Speaker 14: they three pa, it's back to back to back. Yon,
Speaker 14: look to Kelsey, showed you betterfy. We try to set
Speaker 14: call this sited in the league. No opinion, that's a fact.
Speaker 14: Trying to slow the passes, sat trying to sell Patrick Day.
Speaker 14: You know Mahomes when he in a playoff, so he
Speaker 14: ain't gonna fall that. I see his face Old Froze
Speaker 14: mine on the fourth Green bringing that MVP. Behay, you're
Speaker 14: when you went to top Jon afc the Hey, he's
Speaker 14: the legit.
Speaker 2: Chris Jones ruin to show this is possible.
Speaker 14: Fourth you wus if you know you know you want
Speaker 14: to see the playoffs?
Speaker 2: Team se we got who works three p.
Speaker 9: This is incredible and incredibly bad news if you're a
Speaker 9: fan of the other thirty one teams. But Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 9: is not yet thirty and he is about to appear
Speaker 9: in his.
Speaker 8: Fifth Super Bowl.
Speaker 9: He is the only quarterback in NFL history to start
Speaker 9: five Super Bowls before turning thirty.
Speaker 8: Hugh, that is rough. Let's bring in our guys, Camwolf
Speaker 8: and Adam ran Oh. First, let's hear Patrick Mahomes on
Speaker 8: his legacy. Here's Mahomes.
Speaker 14: How much have you admired those athletes like Kobe and
Speaker 14: Michael and how they much they're going.
Speaker 2: To fullish you Andrew?
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure. I mean I think more anything is
Speaker 3: you see the competitors that they are, is that they
Speaker 3: they're gonna do whatever it takes to win, and that's
Speaker 3: what you have to be in order to have success
Speaker 3: in professional sports as a competitor, someone that's gonna put
Speaker 3: in the work every single week and watching them and
Speaker 3: listening to things that when they talk about that's helped
Speaker 3: shape my career on how I.
Speaker 8: Have to work.
Speaker 3: And obviously that's a long way I feel like still
Speaker 3: for me to go to be mentioned with those guys,
Speaker 3: but I'll try to do whatever I can to be
Speaker 3: close enough as I can be.
Speaker 9: It's actually already being mentioned in the same sentences with
Speaker 9: those guys. And see, I was so excited to talk
Speaker 9: to Cam Wolf and Adam right that I wanted to
Speaker 9: bring them in even before we heard from Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 8: Here they are. It's Cam and Adam. Cam. Let me
Speaker 8: let's start with you.
Speaker 9: I know you're going to be with the Chiefs all
Speaker 9: next week in New Orleans. About Patrick Mahomes Five Super
Speaker 9: Bowls before thirty?
Speaker 8: Can you sum him up?
Speaker 10: Even now, Judy, one thing about Patrick Mahomes that maybe
Speaker 10: doesn't get enough credit is his competitiveness. He even mentioned
Speaker 10: it there with Kobe and Michael Jordan. We think about
Speaker 10: those guys, we think about the winning and the rings,
Speaker 10: and he's chasing Brady. But Patrick Mahomes' competitiveness is something
Speaker 10: that separates him from a lot of players of his generation.
Speaker 10: And Kareem Hunt said it this week. He said, Patrick Mahomes,
Speaker 10: he's the most competitive person I've ever met. And I
Speaker 10: don't know if we always think about that within his game.
Speaker 10: You know, when you saw this pass AFC Championship game,
Speaker 10: there was the first design run they called for Patrick
Speaker 10: Mahomes all season. When I talked to Mac Naggi, their
Speaker 10: offensive coordinator, in the locker room, he said, Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 10: is get on me every single week talking about I
Speaker 10: can run this.
Speaker 2: He shows me his high school highlight.
Speaker 10: Tapes, his college high school tapes of him running, and
Speaker 10: they've tried to protect him through to the injury he
Speaker 10: had some years ago, but that competitive nature comes out
Speaker 10: in these games. And he also talked about the trash talk.
Speaker 11: Element of his nature.
Speaker 10: He said, I don't trash talk normally unless somebody trash
Speaker 10: talks me, and then that gets me going, That gets
Speaker 10: my juice flowing. Remember Max Crosby and Patrick Mahomes last year. Well,
Speaker 10: this particular game, the Eagles have a couple of trash
Speaker 10: talkers and Chauncey Gardner Johnson and Brandon Graham. If he
Speaker 10: plays along with Jalen Carter. I'm very curious if they
Speaker 10: start talking Patrick Mahomes, if that gets another level of
Speaker 10: competitive side, competitive business out of this guy. Doesn't matter
Speaker 10: if he's won two straight, that three ring chase for
Speaker 10: him is still keeping him hungry, and we'll see that
Speaker 10: on Sunday.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's a great point, Cameron, because when you think
Speaker 7: of guys like Kobe Bryant, you do think of that
Speaker 7: competitiveness and the desire and it's certainly there with Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 7: And similarly, one of the things that's been the most
Speaker 7: impressive about Patrick Mahomes in addition to his competitiveness, is
Speaker 7: that he's been able to do it with a wide
Speaker 7: variety of different players, much like Kobe was winning titles
Speaker 7: with the guys that you know lamar Odom and run
Speaker 7: Our Tests and players like that. No, obviously he had
Speaker 7: Shack for his first three and Pal Gasol for his
Speaker 7: last two, but still Patrick Mahomes is going out there
Speaker 7: with guys like Juju Smith, Schuster, Sky Moore, Justin Watson,
Speaker 7: Noah Gray, and he's still.
Speaker 11: Going out there and competing.
Speaker 7: And to me, that is something that as much as
Speaker 7: everybody gets tired of the Chiefs, and we're sicking they're
Speaker 7: not going out there in buying championships. There are other
Speaker 7: teams in other sports that go out there and defer
Speaker 7: billions of dollars just to remain competitive. The Chiefs are
Speaker 7: not doing that, and a big reason why is Patrick Holmes.
Speaker 7: And it's very impressive to see that.
Speaker 2: Cam.
Speaker 1: Fair warning, before I ask you this question, our guy
Speaker 1: Rich Eisen is watching the program at home.
Speaker 2: He does a segment from time to time.
Speaker 1: Where he judges an X factor because a lot of
Speaker 1: people try to pass along, like I don't know the
Speaker 1: starting quarterback as an X factor, so there's really got
Speaker 1: to be a good X factor. But give me the
Speaker 1: X factor here in Super Bowl fifty.
Speaker 10: Nine, Well, Rich, judge me, Fairley, I'm gonna go with
Speaker 10: Kareem Hunt, who technically now is the chief starting running back,
Speaker 10: so if it hasn't been that way for much of
Speaker 10: the season, he's overtaken Isaiah Pacheco as their lead back.
Speaker 10: Had eighteen touches to Pachecko's seven. And really we talk
Speaker 10: about this game Saquon Barkley and what they're going to
Speaker 10: do to stop him, or what Philly's going to do
Speaker 10: to own this game. The other running game gets hidden
Speaker 10: because they haven't been consistent throughout the year. When you
Speaker 10: watch that chiefs AFC Championship win over the Bills, one
Speaker 10: thing that stood out is they had some success running
Speaker 10: the ball. It forced the Bills to play them a
Speaker 10: little bit more honest. Hunt forced eleven miss tackles on
Speaker 10: twenty five carries in the playoffs. They don't get big
Speaker 10: bursts like Saquon, but they can keep the clock running.
Speaker 10: They can get those first downs. And I thought it
Speaker 10: was interesting just hearing Kareem Hunt some motions through this week.
Speaker 10: Remember this is the guy who got cut in Cleveland.
Speaker 10: He shared a story this week about how after Pacheco
Speaker 10: got hurt earlier in the year, his agent Sam Sankovitz
Speaker 10: texted him and essentially said, do you want to text
Speaker 10: the Chiefs and see maybe if they would be interested
Speaker 10: in bringing you back?
Speaker 11: You know, just kind of as a whim who knows
Speaker 11: what happens.
Speaker 2: He texts Patrick Mahomes, He texts Andy Reid.
Speaker 10: Reid gets back to you and says, I'll talk to
Speaker 10: Brett Beast, the general manager, and after an hour or
Speaker 10: two they say, pack your back, get on a flight.
Speaker 10: He comes in essentially as a as a practice squad
Speaker 10: guy trying to just you know, hang around get reps.
Speaker 10: Becomes the lead back in this moment, and as you
Speaker 10: heard him and Patrick Mahomes talk about his journey, this
Speaker 10: is the first time he's getting to go chase the
Speaker 10: Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: They want it for him.
Speaker 7: Yeah, And I'm sorry, Geez, when they were talking about
Speaker 7: X factors, I thought you were talking about dude who
Speaker 7: his name start with AX, because I was thinking to
Speaker 7: Xavier Worthy, who is a huge X factor.
Speaker 11: Who are the Kansas City Chiefs. So I was sitting here.
Speaker 7: A moment ago all about a wide variety of players
Speaker 7: who made an impact with the Kansas City Chiefs. Xavier
Speaker 7: Worthy a rookie who has drafted somewhereho was a twenty
Speaker 7: eighth out of the University of Texas. He's been very
Speaker 7: good for this team this season. He has seven scrimmage
Speaker 7: touchdowns for receiving. He had his first one hundred yard
Speaker 7: scrimmage game in the AFC Championship Game, the most ever
Speaker 7: by a Chiefs rookie in the championship game. No Chiefs
Speaker 7: rookie has never had more than ninety scrimmage yards in
Speaker 7: a Super Bowl, but I really do believe that he
Speaker 7: has an opportunity here, and that is one of the
Speaker 7: things that makes this Chiefs team so difficult to defend.
Speaker 7: How obviously you've got Travis Kelcey, Kareem Hunt's been playing well,
Speaker 7: But who are the other guys who are going to
Speaker 7: step up? Because that's the one thing the Chiefs have
Speaker 7: been able to count on, is somebody stepping up when
Speaker 7: their name is called Cam.
Speaker 8: Adam, Thank you very much.
Speaker 9: I have a feeling we're going to be talking a
Speaker 9: lot more about the Chiefs next week.
Speaker 8: Cam. We will see you in New Orleans next week.
Speaker 9: Adam, don't go anywhere, because I think we're going to
Speaker 9: see you in the next segment.
Speaker 1: The forty nine ers George Kittle among the folks who
Speaker 1: used the dodge duck, dip, dive, and dodge quote from
Speaker 1: Dodgeball here when referring to the dodgeball competition in the
Speaker 1: Pro Bowls Pro Bowl Skills competition. The NFC defeating the AFC. There,
Speaker 1: nice throw there?
Speaker 2: Who was that? That was?
Speaker 1: Oh, Twen Nelson. So the NFC defeats the AFC. There, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was very impressive. Who would have got me on
Speaker 1: that one?
Speaker 2: Then the hands catch portion of the program. I got
Speaker 2: nothing on this one, Judy.
Speaker 9: This seriously, who came let's put the world's greatest receivers
Speaker 9: in giant gloves so that they can't catch.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but it may be somebody with the
Speaker 1: power to fire us. So maybe we should just say
Speaker 1: it was a great idea.
Speaker 8: There with the great idea.
Speaker 1: Huge hands moving along the jets, Quinn Williams registered the
Speaker 1: biggest spike that's right on the Spiko meter. For this,
Speaker 1: he won a huge stuffed animal as big as himself.
Speaker 2: I believe with the tickets that he received for a
Speaker 2: ninety two you didn't give them credit for the last spike. Decibot.
Speaker 2: Go ahead, Judy, what he got here.
Speaker 8: Really wasn't a spike?
Speaker 2: Oh you got this, Judy?
Speaker 8: What is okay? So this is speed walking with the
Speaker 8: Bosta brothers. This is that kind of hilarious. Actually they're
Speaker 8: pretty good at it.
Speaker 2: That's not walking. That was that was running? Whoever? Just running?
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's kind of jogging. That's not it.
Speaker 9: You're supposed to keep your feet on the ground at
Speaker 9: all time and speed walking.
Speaker 1: Yes, the NFC is in the lead. The Pro Bowl
Speaker 1: games continue on Sunday. The Potato Sack Race and the
Speaker 1: three legged race certainly going to be the highlight coming
Speaker 1: down the stretch.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 1: I don't no, they may be part of the whole thing.
Speaker 1: Oh no, here they are right there, the big spike
Speaker 1: pass all that. Check that out six pm Eastern on
Speaker 1: the ESPN or stream on NFL Plus Thursday night.
Speaker 2: Now let's get serious.
Speaker 1: Now, let's put our suits in tuxedos. On Thursday night,
Speaker 1: February sixth, the stars are out in New Orleans to
Speaker 1: kick off Super Bowl fifty nine weekend. Find out who
Speaker 1: will take home the game's most prestigious awards. See how
Speaker 1: I said that prestigious With host Snoop Dogg speaking of prestigious,
Speaker 1: don't miss NFL Honors presented by Amizzaligne on Fox, NFL
Speaker 1: Network and also streaming on NFL Plus. Subscription required for
Speaker 1: NFL Plus. No excuse to miss it. It is literally everywhere,
Speaker 1: all over your TV and your Internet and your phone,
Speaker 1: as is Adam Rank all over this show, joining us
Speaker 1: once again, Adam. Twenty eight NFL Network staff members voted
Speaker 1: on who they think the twenty twenty four award winners
Speaker 1: should be.
Speaker 2: I heard it was supposed to be twenty nine.
Speaker 11: Yeah, well, you know what.
Speaker 7: Our schemed editor Ali von Purry called me up or
Speaker 7: texted me. He's like, hey, you want to weigh in
Speaker 7: on this thing. And I was on a heater at
Speaker 7: meddle Art Golf Club and I'm like, yeah, dude, no,
Speaker 7: not doing that.
Speaker 11: I'm good. I'm sorry, I got it.
Speaker 7: I was working on a I was trying to break
Speaker 7: forty on the back nine.
Speaker 11: I'm like, I'm sorry.
Speaker 7: I could sit here and vote for NFL MVP, but
Speaker 7: I just burdied thirteen.
Speaker 11: I got to keep pushing on. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Yeah, forty eight degrees in reigning right now where we
Speaker 1: are Judy, and he's out there not only playing golf,
Speaker 1: but say nothing.
Speaker 2: I'm not working nothing because I'm playing golf. All right.
Speaker 2: So here's the good news. Rank You get to contribute here.
Speaker 1: You get to gon this with Judy and tell us
Speaker 1: who you believe should win these awards.
Speaker 2: Judy, We're going to start with Offensive Player of the Year.
Speaker 9: I voted for. I don't think this is a surprise.
Speaker 9: Saquon Barkley over two thousand yards most of them. He
Speaker 9: just transformed the Philadelphia Eagles offense. I don't even think
Speaker 9: of just the constant running. I'm thinking of all the
Speaker 9: breakaway runs that we've seen where he just gets through
Speaker 9: the line of scrimmage and then takes off. We just
Speaker 9: hadn't seen that when he was with the Giants. They
Speaker 9: just didn't have the skill level on the offensive line
Speaker 9: to get him into the clear. And now that we
Speaker 9: have seen exactly what Secon can do when he's running
Speaker 9: behind a fantastic offensive line, Wow, what a player.
Speaker 8: Offensive Player of the Year for sure.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and it's hard to go against Saquon Barkley, but
Speaker 7: I would like to give a little bit of love
Speaker 7: for Jamar Chase and the amazing season he had for
Speaker 7: the Cincinnati Bengals. Over seventeen hundred receiving yards, seventeen touchdowns
Speaker 7: for this team and the Bengals. It's unfortunate the Bengals
Speaker 7: weren't able to make the playoffs because I do think
Speaker 7: as far as the AFC contenders go, the Bengals are
Speaker 7: always that one team that doesn't blink whenever they're playing
Speaker 7: the Kansas City Chiefs. But Jamar Chase, I understand Saquon
Speaker 7: Barkley is likely to win this, but I think we
Speaker 7: need to give a little love to mar Chase because
Speaker 7: this was one of the best receiving seasons I could
Speaker 7: ever remember.
Speaker 1: One note on Saquon Barkley, Judy. I was listening to
Speaker 1: Wfan earlier. Our guy Greg Gianati referenced some story he
Speaker 1: read somewhere about analytics trying to figure out what would
Speaker 1: have happened if Saquon Barkley stayed with the Giants instead
Speaker 1: of going to the Eagles. They said, one more win
Speaker 1: for the Giants and one less win for the Eagles.
Speaker 1: I don't know about that math. I'm going to need
Speaker 1: them to show their work. The Eagles are not in
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl without Saquon Barkley. Defensive Player of the Year, Judy,
Speaker 1: I went.
Speaker 9: With Pat certain and I think you can make an
Speaker 9: argument for Miles Garrett, Trey Hendrickson. I thought it was
Speaker 9: time to finally give it back to a guy in
Speaker 9: the secondary, and he has been phenomenal. You're seeing one
Speaker 9: of his four interceptions. He had eleven pass breakups, and
Speaker 9: he led him like a ton of Next gen stats
Speaker 9: categories fewest total yards, fewish yards per coverage snap, lowest
Speaker 9: target rate of any corner with at least four hundred
Speaker 9: coverage snaps. This season, so they weren't even thrown in
Speaker 9: his direction and Denver had a great defense.
Speaker 8: I would give it to Certain this year.
Speaker 7: No, I absolutely agree, Judy. I think there was I
Speaker 7: think he was far and away the best player in
Speaker 7: credit le Broncos too. Remember when they made this pick,
Speaker 7: they were still looking for a quarterback and there was
Speaker 7: a number of quarterbacks still on the board, Mac Jones
Speaker 7: justin fields and they went with Patrick Certain And it
Speaker 7: looks like I mean, it looks like No, it's obvious
Speaker 7: they made the right decision right there.
Speaker 1: Offensive Rookie of the Year, brock Bauers, You're awesome, dude.
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody had anybody other than Jayde and
Speaker 1: there I could see from their faces they both had
Speaker 1: Jade and Daniels for the offensive Rookie of the Year.
Speaker 2: So let's go to defensive Rookie of the Year, Judy, I.
Speaker 9: Voted for Jared Verse. He led all rookies in quarterback hits, pressures, hurries.
Speaker 8: He had four and a half secks.
Speaker 9: He really came on in the second half of the
Speaker 9: regular season. That's when the Rams started to make their push.
Speaker 9: He was second in pressures, fourth and hurries among all
Speaker 9: defensive players.
Speaker 7: So I've got Verse, that's a great pick. But I
Speaker 7: like Quinyan Mitchell wuin Yon Mitchell, excuse me. I think
Speaker 7: that he was the most impressive. I think he was
Speaker 7: very impressive for the Eagles, a huge part of the
Speaker 7: reason why they're in the Super Bowl right now. So
Speaker 7: for me, that's who I would lead in this one.
Speaker 7: The secondary. I mean, both picks that they made in
Speaker 7: the secondary were pretty fantastic. You couple that with taking
Speaker 7: Jalen Carter recently as well, and that defense has been
Speaker 7: rebuilt and younger and only going to get better over
Speaker 7: the next couple of years.
Speaker 1: This time last year, Quinna and Mitchell was tearing it
Speaker 1: up at senior ball practices the Senior Bowl an NFL
Speaker 1: Networks Saturday. We're going to talk about that coming up
Speaker 1: in the next block. Once again, the NFL is going
Speaker 1: to hand out the Coach of the Year award to
Speaker 1: somebody not named Andy Reid.
Speaker 2: He's wonted only one time.
Speaker 1: They'll be doing that while Reid is preparing once again
Speaker 1: for the Super Bowl. Judy Year, your vote for Coach
Speaker 1: of the It's unfair like it happens at the end
Speaker 1: of the regular season. I get that, But your vote
Speaker 1: for Coach.
Speaker 9: Of the Year, well, it used to happen to Bill
Speaker 9: Belichick too. The standard is so high that how can
Speaker 9: they ever meet their own standard? Anyway, I believe the
Speaker 9: coach of the Year this year will be Kevin O'Connell.
Speaker 9: We talked about him all season, the work he did
Speaker 9: with Sam Darnold, resurrecting his career. This was supposed to
Speaker 9: be a transition year for the Minnesota Vikings, and instead
Speaker 9: he resurrected Sam Darnold, a guy who was on a
Speaker 9: one year contract. Fourteen wins, forget about how the season ended.
Speaker 9: That was a remarkable job by Kevin O'Connell.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's hard to argue with that pick, Judy, but
Speaker 7: I'm going to I'm gonna say Sean Payton. Outside of
Speaker 7: one person, me, nobody expected this Broncos team to do anything,
Speaker 7: and yet they still got to the playoffs, still had
Speaker 7: an opportunity. I thought they played really well. I thought
Speaker 7: the development of bow Knicks bodes well for the future
Speaker 7: of this team. And when you look at these awards too,
Speaker 7: you know they had a guy who's in the mix
Speaker 7: for Rookie of the Year with bow Knicks. They had
Speaker 7: Patrick Surtan and now they have potentially the coach of
Speaker 7: the Year.
Speaker 11: So I think Sean Payton was the guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no disrespect any of those other guys.
Speaker 1: When I referenced Andy Reid, it's just amazing to me
Speaker 1: that he's going to make the Hall of Fame be
Speaker 1: one of the winningest head coaches of all time and
Speaker 1: he's went only one time in his entire career.
Speaker 2: Did I mention that? Just one of the things that
Speaker 2: gets under my skin Judy MVP.
Speaker 9: I think it's Lamar Jackson simply because he had a
Speaker 9: historic year, first player in hist to have four thousand
Speaker 9: passing yards and eight hundred rushing yards in this single season.
Speaker 9: He had forty one touchdowns, only four interceptions, nine hundred
Speaker 9: and fifteen rushing yards. Josh Allen was superb. He made
Speaker 9: incredible plays. I think Lamar Jackson is the MVP.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's really difficult to choose between these two players,
Speaker 7: but I leaned towards Josh Allen, And of course I've
Speaker 7: got the benefit of doing this right now. When we
Speaker 7: saw Josh Allen get all the way to the AFC
Speaker 7: Championship game, and even in that AFC Championship game, I
Speaker 7: know the final play has been dissected by a lot
Speaker 7: of armchair quarterbacks and people on the internet trying to
Speaker 7: figure out, like what he should have dumped it off,
Speaker 7: and like the throw that he made the Dalton Kincaid
Speaker 7: was actually exceptional, should have been caught. And I feel
Speaker 7: bad for Josh Allen. I know the majority of people
Speaker 7: watching that game were rooting for the Buffalo Bills, but
Speaker 7: I thought that Josh.
Speaker 11: Allen really elevated this team.
Speaker 7: They got rid of so much talent, you know, they
Speaker 7: got rid of all the you know, trying to match
Speaker 7: what the Chiefs have done, getting the guys and just
Speaker 7: trying to win with the Dallas Goddards of Dawson Knox
Speaker 7: and Keon Coleman's of the world.
Speaker 11: He was there lifting this team and I think he's.
Speaker 1: The MVP NFL dot Com slash Award picks. To see
Speaker 1: the full breakdown of the voting from analysts such as
Speaker 1: and this is in alphabetic order, Dan Parr, Kevin Patra
Speaker 1: ched Reuder, Wait are a no Adam rank not in there?
Speaker 2: You see?
Speaker 11: Why don't join that? I'm that's the knock jump I'm hitting.
Speaker 1: He was busy sticking his approach on thirteen. I think
Speaker 1: he said, Adam Rigg great in this program tonight. Hit
Speaker 1: him straight, my man. That's our former co worker right
Speaker 1: there at the Shrine Balls. Name is Dion Sanders. His
Speaker 1: son Shador was there. One of six Colorado players there,
Speaker 1: not all played. Shiloh Sanders had a pass deflected and
Speaker 1: broken up. We were going to show that, but I
Speaker 1: yapped too much early in the show. We're pressed for time.
Speaker 1: Jacorey Krusky Merritt touchdown ninety seven yards and two touchdowns.
Speaker 1: He was the up of MVP Dance young Man and
Speaker 1: then O'Donell Fortune O'donald Fortune.
Speaker 2: Sounds like a guy who found something at the end
Speaker 2: of the rainbow.
Speaker 1: I love the guy chasing him down the sideline. Here
Speaker 1: sixty five yards for a touchdown. The East wins twenty
Speaker 1: five nothing, the first shutout in the Shrine Bowl.
Speaker 2: Since nineteen sixty nine.
Speaker 1: How about that stat right there that I totally looked
Speaker 1: up myself. That is not the only college All Star
Speaker 1: game of the week.
Speaker 2: The Reese's Senior.
Speaker 1: Ball to be played Saturday, two thirty pm Eastern. We
Speaker 1: will have it live on NFL Network and streaming on
Speaker 1: NFL Plus. We were there all week to see these practices.
Speaker 1: We saw a lot of young players shining there. We'll
Speaker 1: see who's able.
Speaker 2: Oh, we'll see who's able to do that as impressive
Speaker 2: right there.
Speaker 1: He be able to do it on the playing field.
Speaker 1: Our Tom Pellisero will be matting the sidelines. He's had
Speaker 1: a chance to catch up with Brian Kelly from LSU earlier.
Speaker 5: And I just saw you over there talking with Hall
Speaker 5: of Famer Jason Taylor. Obviously his son Mason's got some
Speaker 5: pretty good jeans. What's some NFL team going to get
Speaker 5: in Mason?
Speaker 9: Wow?
Speaker 15: First of all, very smart, very good at processing anything
Speaker 15: that we did from an offensive standpoint. I mean he's
Speaker 15: going to pick it up tactically and technically. But I think,
Speaker 15: you know, the most important thing is he's an incredible competitor.
Speaker 15: And look, when you bring both of those things together,
Speaker 15: that's what you're looking for. He's got all of the
Speaker 15: you know, profile numbers in terms of size and speed,
Speaker 15: but he is an intense competitor and the moment's not
Speaker 15: too big. You know, he caught the two point conversion
Speaker 15: against Alabama and over time, you know he's targeted as
Speaker 15: a true freshman then and he continue to do that
Speaker 15: and build on in his three years in Bton Rouge.
Speaker 5: You've also got sixty percent of your offensive line here
Speaker 5: in the Reese's Senior Bowl. Emery Jones is a guy
Speaker 5: who really stood out yesterday. It looks like he is
Speaker 5: a super competitive dude as well.
Speaker 15: First of all, you know, really versatile, right, the guy
Speaker 15: that could play you know, probably three positions. You could
Speaker 15: play center, you could play guard. You know, we played
Speaker 15: him at tackle. But again, another great competitor, guy that
Speaker 15: is going to compete every single snaw and sometimes as
Speaker 15: a true freshman, and we played him in the SEC.
Speaker 15: As a true freshman, you have to kind of rely
Speaker 15: on just grit and toughness and getting through the down
Speaker 15: because some pretty good pass rushers in the SEC coming
Speaker 15: off the edge, and he did that.
Speaker 5: I know you're pretty busy in the fall, but when
Speaker 5: he got occasions to peek in on the Washington Commanders
Speaker 5: this season, what did you think of your guy, Jaden Daniels, Well.
Speaker 15: I think I'm probably a little bit different because I
Speaker 15: was telling everybody you should draft this guy because he
Speaker 15: will change your franchise, and not only as a player,
Speaker 15: and I guess, look, he probably did way more than
Speaker 15: anybody expected on the field. But his composure, his calm,
Speaker 15: his love for the game, all the things that we
Speaker 15: all want to see from players.
Speaker 2: He had that.
Speaker 15: And it's hard to articulate that to a GM sometimes
Speaker 15: or a head football coach. But I knew he had
Speaker 15: those things, and then he went and demonstrated him. So
Speaker 15: it was pretty fun to watch.
Speaker 1: Yes, it was fun to watch. Look forward to seeing
Speaker 1: plenty more. Look at Darren Mujie in the middle of
Speaker 1: the Jets new general manager. We're going to talk about
Speaker 1: the guy to his left, Aaron Glenn. Judy's had some
Speaker 1: great stuff on the hiring of Aaron Glenn that is
Speaker 1: coming up next. What's up to the Johnson brothers and
Speaker 1: Hime there too. All right, here's what we should do, folks.
Speaker 1: We should have a feed on NFL Plus where you
Speaker 1: can watch an alternate version of the program where you
Speaker 1: can hear everything that's going on in our IFBs, which
Speaker 1: are the things in our ears coming from the control room.
Speaker 1: Because as we went to break, our producer Macenroe Francis
Speaker 1: yells in my ear. There's Muji in the middle because
Speaker 1: we were talking about the size heights. So Darren Muji
Speaker 1: there in the middle, great line Mac good stuff, Judy,
Speaker 1: speaking of great lines of great information, you had plenty
Speaker 1: on both of these hires. Here Muji and Aaron Glenn
Speaker 1: talk to us about how Mooji factored in to the
Speaker 1: Glenn hiring and everything the Jets are doing.
Speaker 9: So they did an incredibly thorough search. Remember they had
Speaker 9: all of this extra time because they fired Robert Sala
Speaker 9: and Joe Douglas in season, and after Joe Douglass was
Speaker 9: fired right around Thanksgiving, they launched this very extensive search.
Speaker 9: And they started, for instance, before the regular season was
Speaker 9: even over. They talked to three hundred people outside of
Speaker 9: the NFL as like background checks on potential candidates. And
Speaker 9: then once they got going, they watched miked up segments
Speaker 9: from NFL films so that they could see and hear
Speaker 9: how coaches behaved in meeting rooms, in practice huddles, in
Speaker 9: the huddle, on the sidelines. They listened to media availabilities
Speaker 9: to see how they were with the public. They sat
Speaker 9: down and came up with a list of criteria that
Speaker 9: they wanted all of the candidates to meet. They talked
Speaker 9: to former head coaches and said, what would have helped
Speaker 9: you be more successful. What do you wish you had known?
Speaker 9: It was an incredibly thorough search. They finally narrowed it
Speaker 9: down to Aaron Glenn, who was the person that Bill
Speaker 9: part Cells said at the beginning, I would start with
Speaker 9: with Aaron Glenn.
Speaker 8: They ended up with Aaron Glenn.
Speaker 9: Obviously, nothing is guaranteed that they'll win a Super Bowl
Speaker 9: this way, but certainly they feel like they have turned
Speaker 9: over every rock to get to this decision.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Aaron Glenn was the guy from the Jump of Strong.
Speaker 1: Caddy from the Jump wound up being the guy. Take
Speaker 1: that Ai, Take that bots nfl dot com slash Fatista
Speaker 1: for more of the insight on the Jets hires.
Speaker 2: You want to check that out.
Speaker 1: I tweeted out after the NFC Championship game it was
Speaker 1: going to be Saquon Barkley's birthday on Super Bowl Sunday,
Speaker 1: and everybody got.
Speaker 2: Up on Cooper Degene two. Don't forget about Cooper Degen. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it'll be his birthday too. If you add up their
Speaker 2: jersey numbers, by the way, twenty six and thirty three
Speaker 2: comes out to fifty nine.
Speaker 7: Woo.
Speaker 1: If you add up their ages that they're going to be,
Speaker 1: it comes out to fifty.
Speaker 2: That means absolutely nothing, Jody. Here's a Revel tweet.
Speaker 8: Take it away.
Speaker 9: If you are thinking of heading down to New Orleans
Speaker 9: for the game, here is what you're going to be paying.
Speaker 9: According to our buddy Darren Revel, average per night rates
Speaker 9: for next Saturday, Sunday Monday in New Orleans for the
