- 0:18Speaker 2: You know, I was thinking, like, of all the teams
- 0:19Speaker 2: that have never been or won, aren't the Vikings like
- 0:22Speaker 2: a sneaky, sad story.
- 0:24Speaker 4: Oh yeah, they were the Satisacs of the seventies. The
- 0:28Speaker 4: Bills took her over for them in the nineties, but
- 0:30Speaker 4: they've been and never won.
- 0:32Speaker 5: Four the Vikings, Browns, Bills, Lions.
- 0:35Speaker 4: Yep, Chargers have never won Houston, never even to the
- 0:38Speaker 4: conference championship.
- 0:40Speaker 6: You know, well, screw them. We're going to Patriots are

- 1:29Speaker 2: Here at Jillette Stadium, and we're no less excited than

- 1:35Speaker 2: we're a little tired. That's okay, that's all right. We're
- 1:39Speaker 2: we're ready to go. We all we got we all.
- 1:42Speaker 8: We need yep, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:45Speaker 3: It's it's Paul Evan. Will he be by lighter.
- 1:48Speaker 6: He's enjoying some turkey.
- 1:49Speaker 8: You need to break.
- 1:50Speaker 3: Oh he just did two hours with Barth. He needs
- 1:52Speaker 3: a break.
- 1:53Speaker 6: He's got to smoke a cigarette afre.
- 1:55Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:57Speaker 2: Hey, now do you have to dark breaking it down?
- 2:01Speaker 9: All right?
- 2:02Speaker 2: So we got a lot to talk about with the Patriots,
- 2:07Speaker 2: and top of mind, I've got a lot of people
- 2:12Speaker 2: ask me what do I think about the news that
- 2:14Speaker 2: Bill Belichick didn't get into the Hall of Fame.
- 2:17Speaker 3: I think it's ridiculous.
- 2:18Speaker 2: I think anything that he's done the last couple of
- 2:20Speaker 2: years here or after he left here, short of murdering somebody,
- 2:25Speaker 2: he should be in the Hall of Fame. First ballot,
- 2:27Speaker 2: no questions asked. I don't know what they're doing. I
- 2:30Speaker 2: think this fifty person room is, you know, playing games
- 2:36Speaker 2: with people's lives. And I'll include Robert Craft in that
- 2:38Speaker 2: too in pastimes. I don't know if he's going to
- 2:40Speaker 2: get in this year or not. I know he's eligible,
- 2:42Speaker 2: but not getting in, Like, what is the criteria that
- 2:46Speaker 2: you're saying they can't get in. It's just it's just ridiculous.
- 2:50Speaker 2: The whole Billpoleon thing. I don't know if I voted
- 2:52Speaker 2: for him. I can't remember. I mean, come on, if
- 2:55Speaker 2: you have somebody on your panel that can't remember who
- 2:58Speaker 2: he voted for, it's time to replace that person, you know.
- 3:03Speaker 2: Come on, Either that or he's just lying, which Pa
- 3:06Speaker 2: Lion would be my guest, you know, So what are
- 3:10Speaker 2: we doing here? I mean, and I don't even care
- 3:12Speaker 2: if these things are public knowledge. I don't care to
- 3:15Speaker 2: know who voted on who. I just want to know
- 3:17Speaker 2: that the people who are doing the voting are on
- 3:20Speaker 2: the up and up and are not doing anything based
- 3:23Speaker 2: on politics, past grievances, all that bs. As long as
- 3:28Speaker 2: I know that they're doing it based on their accomplishments
- 3:32Speaker 2: in pro football, then I'm good with it, but it
- 3:35Speaker 2: doesn't sound like that's what they're doing, and that's what
- 3:37Speaker 2: pisses me off. Whether it's you know, people players from
- 3:41Speaker 2: the Dynasty, Robert Kraft, Bill Belichick, come on, come on,
- 3:46Speaker 2: what are we doing? And you know what, until they
- 3:49Speaker 2: fix it, fans should say I'm not watching your ceremony,
- 3:53Speaker 2: I'm not going to your ceremony, and then maybe they'll
- 3:56Speaker 2: wake up because now it's money. Now it's money, and
- 3:59Speaker 2: until it's money, they'll never do anything.
- 4:03Speaker 3: So there rant over.
- 4:05Speaker 4: So I have a couple of questions when I was fourteen,
- 4:07Speaker 4: and I don't know if you have any of the
- 4:09Speaker 4: answers to that.
- 4:09Speaker 5: I think Fred was more fired up than Bart, which
- 4:11Speaker 5: I think is hard to do it.
- 4:13Speaker 2: It's not just a Bill Belichick thing, which I think
- 4:15Speaker 2: is stupid. It's just overall, this thing keeps happening over
- 4:19Speaker 2: and over again.
- 4:19Speaker 4: Well, I do think that it's a very flawed process.
- 4:23Speaker 4: And you know, just I'll state I'm with Fred everything
- 4:26Speaker 4: you said. It's ridiculous that he wouldn't be a first
- 4:29Speaker 4: ballot Hall of Famer. If there's a definition of a
- 4:31Speaker 4: first ballot Hall of Famer, it should.
- 4:32Speaker 6: Be Bill Belichick. So I get that out of the way.
- 4:35Speaker 4: A couple of questions. Number one, how does this leak out?
- 4:40Speaker 4: How do we know this?
- 4:42Speaker 3: That's a good question, because you usually don't.
- 4:44Speaker 9: I think it leaked out.
- 4:45Speaker 5: My feeling is that it leaked out because they knew
- 4:47Speaker 5: how controversial it was going to be, and they wanted
- 4:51Speaker 5: to kind of let it leak so that next week
- 4:54Speaker 5: when the guys at act, the guys who got in
- 4:56Speaker 5: right let it pass like her maintenance could be.
- 5:01Speaker 4: That's a good theory, but that kind of annoyed me
- 5:04Speaker 4: that they leaked it out. And the second part of
- 5:09Speaker 4: it is, and I don't know how you feel about this,
- 5:14Speaker 4: I feel like the reasoning was about sort of the
- 5:18Speaker 4: scandals yea, more so than his personality.
- 5:21Speaker 3: That's what they say.
- 5:23Speaker 4: Well, I don't know what they're saying because no one's
- 5:25Speaker 4: fessing up as to who it was that didn't vote
- 5:27Speaker 4: for him. Right as far as I know, I don't.
- 5:30Speaker 4: I'm with you on that. Like the hue and cry
- 5:33Speaker 4: over the transparency, I don't. I couldn't care less about.
- 5:36Speaker 3: I don't.
- 5:36Speaker 4: I can't stand really the whole Hall of Fame talk,
- 5:40Speaker 4: the discussion, the debate.
- 5:42Speaker 6: It bores me. But this is just silly.
- 5:45Speaker 4: I mean, the guy won six Super Bowls and he's
- 5:48Speaker 4: not in the Hall of Fame, and I mean that's
- 5:49Speaker 4: just silliness. I mean, I think anybody that can rationally
- 5:53Speaker 4: look at that objectively would say that he's a Hall
- 5:56Speaker 4: of Fame coach, right, So there's no argument against it.
- 6:00Speaker 4: I just don't think it has as much to do
- 6:02Speaker 4: with the writers sticking it to them because he was
- 6:05Speaker 4: mean to them in press conferences, as much as it
- 6:07Speaker 4: is all the cloud around him with the scandals.
- 6:11Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 6:12Speaker 4: I think either way, I think it's just as silly.
- 6:14Speaker 4: I'm not trying to defend one over the other. I
- 6:16Speaker 4: just a lot of people are saying, well, this is
- 6:18Speaker 4: what happens when you.
- 6:18Speaker 6: Treat people like that. I don't think that's why.
- 6:20Speaker 10: Well, I wouldn't put it past them, no, I mean
- 6:23Speaker 10: in the league, it's filled with overly competitive and petty
- 6:26Speaker 10: people across all ranks, and I'm sure it's filled with
- 6:28Speaker 10: people in that voting block and whatever their reasons might
- 6:31Speaker 10: have been, but it's just been resounding. I've never seen
- 6:34Speaker 10: so much support for Bill Belichick. I don't I remember
- 6:36Speaker 10: the last time with everyone coming out to.
- 6:39Speaker 2: See Like I said, it doesn't matter what happened the
- 6:41Speaker 2: last few years here or post being here.
- 6:44Speaker 6: No, you should be judged on the entirety of his career.
- 6:46Speaker 2: So like, yeah, it's crazy what's going on with him
- 6:50Speaker 2: after with the girlfriend and everything, and the last few
- 6:53Speaker 2: years here weren't good, but that doesn't take anything away
- 6:56Speaker 2: from what he accomplished here, and that's why he should
- 6:59Speaker 2: go in. I have two conspiracy theories that I know
- 7:02Speaker 2: both are wrong. One is that at least ten people
- 7:07Speaker 2: got together and said, you know what, without Brady, Craft
- 7:12Speaker 2: or Belichick wouldn't even be sniffing this place. So until
- 7:17Speaker 2: Brady gets in, we'll wait for them to get in.
- 7:20Speaker 3: So that was one, Yeah, that was one.
- 7:23Speaker 2: The second one was the Hall itself got to at
- 7:26Speaker 2: least ten people and said, we'd really like to get
- 7:30Speaker 2: them all in together. Let's wait for Brady to be
- 7:35Speaker 2: available and then we'll put them and then you can
- 7:37Speaker 2: vote them all in together.
- 7:39Speaker 6: For in other words, for money for money.
- 7:41Speaker 9: Yeah, but I see that one your money, and I don't.
- 7:44Speaker 5: I hear both those arguments, or both those potential conspiracy theories,
- 7:49Speaker 5: but I don't think that that's like really fair.
- 7:51Speaker 3: No, it isn't. None of it's fair and you're playing
- 7:54Speaker 3: with people's lives.
- 7:55Speaker 5: And I'm also not talking about just which ballot you
- 7:57Speaker 5: get on. But now it's like, you know, like I
- 8:00Speaker 5: think Brady should have his own moment, like you know,
- 8:04Speaker 5: and like now you have to like split it up
- 8:06Speaker 5: by three people, and like just like thinking about it,
- 8:09Speaker 5: like from our perspective, Oh my goodness, Like you know,
- 8:12Speaker 5: like so you have our owner, our head, the coach,
- 8:15Speaker 5: and the greatest quarterback of all time all going into
- 8:18Speaker 5: the Hall of Fame on the same weekend, right like
- 8:20Speaker 5: that that, I just think all three of those people
- 8:22Speaker 5: kind of deserve their own sort of day.
- 8:26Speaker 2: Well, regardless they're not, none of they're all going to
- 8:29Speaker 2: have to know, yes, regardless of when they get in,
- 8:31Speaker 2: they're gonna have to share it with some other people.
- 8:32Speaker 9: But it's not gonna like no offense.
- 8:34Speaker 5: But like when Tom Brady gets in, it's going to
- 8:36Speaker 5: be the Tom Brady show.
- 8:37Speaker 9: It's not going to be about the other four people.
- 8:40Speaker 6: I understand what you're saying.
- 8:41Speaker 5: He's going to be the big ticket item. Yeah, I
- 8:44Speaker 5: would you know that. That was just I don't know
- 8:47Speaker 5: this whole thing. The reason why I'm big on the
- 8:50Speaker 5: names thing because I am is like, I think that
- 8:53Speaker 5: a lot of these Hall of Fame voters shouldn't have
- 8:55Speaker 5: a vote anymore.
- 8:56Speaker 9: And I think we need to No, I mean like,
- 8:59Speaker 9: I want to know who's voting.
- 9:01Speaker 6: I don't see. I don't agree with that because I
- 9:03Speaker 6: think that it's.
- 9:04Speaker 5: One it's really easy to hide behind, and it.
- 9:08Speaker 6: You're not going to you know, that's my point.
- 9:10Speaker 9: What am I going to do?
- 9:11Speaker 3: Now?
- 9:11Speaker 6: What do you do?
- 9:12Speaker 5: You hold their feet to their fire? Like what they mean,
- 9:14Speaker 5: how you're gonna say how public works?
- 9:16Speaker 4: Okay, but they care, but they exactly they disagree with you.
- 9:20Speaker 6: I don't think you should.
- 9:21Speaker 5: I have long thought that the people that are voting
- 9:23Speaker 5: for this are like just I don't think they're very compay.
- 9:28Speaker 6: I don't think they're very argument. The fifty names are online.
- 9:31Speaker 6: You can go out at them on Twitter.
- 9:33Speaker 3: You don't know who they voted for, but think this.
- 9:35Speaker 9: I don't I want to know who doesn't.
- 9:37Speaker 2: But think of it this way. We know who voted
- 9:39Speaker 2: on baseball, it doesn't matter. You can agree, disagree, or
- 9:44Speaker 2: agree with that. They don't have to tell you what
- 9:45Speaker 2: but they do in baseball they tell you why they
- 9:47Speaker 2: voted or not voted.
- 9:48Speaker 3: But we've known in baseball who votes for it and
- 9:53Speaker 3: it's no big deal.
- 9:54Speaker 5: So I just feel differently. I feel as though, you know,
- 9:58Speaker 5: this is a very prestigious honor. It's a very prestigious
- 10:01Speaker 5: hall of fame. Uh, it's not basketball who lets every
- 10:05Speaker 5: single like two time All Star into its Hall of Fame.
- 10:09Speaker 5: And it does have some strict barriers in terms of
- 10:13Speaker 5: who gets to get in and who doesn't. And I
- 10:16Speaker 5: think that it should be brought into question these people's
- 10:20Speaker 5: knowledge and these people's grasp of football.
- 10:23Speaker 9: And I mean that from a.
- 10:26Speaker 5: Historical perspective and in an next is a nose perspective,
- 10:29Speaker 5: And so I just don't I think there's not enough
- 10:31Speaker 5: people that actually are as we like to say ball knowers,
- 10:35Speaker 5: that are voting on these.
- 10:37Speaker 8: Do you really think it's football is? I think it's more.
- 10:41Speaker 11: They don't.
- 10:42Speaker 6: There's nobody that thinks that he didn't win.
- 10:45Speaker 5: I think other people that haven't gotten in or have
- 10:50Speaker 5: struggled to get in, ties to the fact that they
- 10:54Speaker 5: don't really understand what a defensive end in a three
- 10:56Speaker 5: four does.
- 10:57Speaker 9: They don't really understand what a nose tackle does.
- 11:00Speaker 5: I don't think that they fully understand, you know what
- 11:04Speaker 5: goes into all those individual things and it usually gets
- 11:07Speaker 5: voted upon as like a resume thing of he went
- 11:10Speaker 5: to five Pro Bowls and six all first team All
- 11:13Speaker 5: pros and this that the other thing. You know, just
- 11:15Speaker 5: read the box score, read his Pro Football reference page,
- 11:19Speaker 5: and that's not how every single player made an impact
- 11:22Speaker 5: of In.
- 11:23Speaker 3: All due respect, I hear what you're saying, and.
- 11:27Speaker 6: Uh, you know such thing as a Hall of Fame,
- 11:29Speaker 6: Like a guy.
- 11:29Speaker 2: Like Troy Brown is probably the smartest football player I've
- 11:32Speaker 2: ever seen, and ball knowers would recognize that.
- 11:34Speaker 5: But I don't think you should go in the Hall
- 11:36Speaker 5: of Fame. I don't think you should either. I wouldn't
- 11:37Speaker 5: vote for him for the Hall of Fame.
- 11:39Speaker 4: But there's a like, based on your criteria, no one's
- 11:42Speaker 4: qualified to vote in the Hall of Fame.
- 11:44Speaker 5: I don't know if a lot of media people are
- 11:47Speaker 5: no one. I mean, I'm not saying a lot of
- 11:48Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 11:49Speaker 3: One, no one.
- 11:50Speaker 9: Like I think that there's a lot of would.
- 11:53Speaker 4: They should find like you know, sorry, but no, not
- 11:56Speaker 4: based on that criteria. Maybe you could get some kind
- 12:00Speaker 4: kind of a panel of coaches, right, it have to
- 12:04Speaker 4: be coaches, But I don't think they're qualified because they're
- 12:06Speaker 4: not as up to speed on what's going on in
- 12:08Speaker 4: the game currently.
- 12:09Speaker 5: Right well, at least liked them to have be able
- 12:14Speaker 5: to explain better. We can all read their Pro Football
- 12:19Speaker 5: Reference page and look at their stats and look at
- 12:21Speaker 5: their career accolades and decide whether this guy's had you know,
- 12:25Speaker 5: enough yards, enough receptions, enough touchdowns to be a Hall
- 12:29Speaker 5: of Fame wide receiver. Everybody can do that.
- 12:32Speaker 2: I kind of like the criteria they have now if
- 12:34Speaker 2: they stuck to it, which is, how did they compare
- 12:36Speaker 2: to other players that they're positioned in their era.
- 12:40Speaker 5: I just don't think that. I don't think they do
- 12:42Speaker 5: a good job. I just think it's it's a flawed process.
- 12:44Speaker 9: They didn't do a good.
- 12:45Speaker 5: Job, you know, last year, like that class was ridiculous,
- 12:49Speaker 5: Like Luke Eakley didn't make the Hall of Fame, Adam
- 12:51Speaker 5: Vitti didn't make the Hall of Fame. Trell Owens they
- 12:54Speaker 5: kept out for three years because of some personal vandetta
- 12:57Speaker 5: against him.
- 12:57Speaker 9: Just kind of like this thing with Bill and I think.
- 13:00Speaker 2: Clear ad him in my ran. If he's not in
- 13:01Speaker 2: this year, that's another This isn't.
- 13:03Speaker 9: Just my point is that this is not just a
- 13:06Speaker 9: one time thing.
- 13:07Speaker 5: I think it's a very flawed process. They continue to
- 13:09Speaker 5: get this wrong and they've lost the trust they've lost.
- 13:12Speaker 4: That's what I don't care about how in any sport, right,
- 13:15Speaker 4: I don't. I just Fred and I like did far
- 13:18Speaker 4: too many people in halls of fame period in all sports.
- 13:22Speaker 4: And it's not the way I would do it. It's
- 13:24Speaker 4: a very flawed process.
- 13:26Speaker 2: Don't watch, don't go. Even if you're not a Patriots fan.
- 13:30Speaker 2: Today it was Bill Belichick. Tomorrow it could be your
- 13:33Speaker 2: player or huge or owner. So send the message. Until
- 13:38Speaker 2: it affects them in the pocket, nothing will change I.
- 13:42Speaker 5: Feel, I mean, I feel this way, like I mentioned, like,
- 13:44Speaker 5: it's not just Patriots. Oh no, they left spots open
- 13:48Speaker 5: last year, and they left one of the best linebackers
- 13:51Speaker 5: of his year, maybe the best linebacker of his ear,
- 13:53Speaker 5: off the ballot.
- 13:54Speaker 2: But that makes no sense it and I hear you
- 13:58Speaker 2: that's but that's debatable, right.
- 14:00Speaker 9: I don't think it's.
- 14:01Speaker 5: Really with Belichick, but it is. It is debatable candidate,
- 14:06Speaker 5: not Bill Belichick. But I do not I don't think
- 14:09Speaker 5: that it's very debatable, right, And you.
- 14:10Speaker 6: Said in your opinion and your opinion that's and anybody
- 14:13Speaker 6: that's watched.
- 14:16Speaker 2: Getting like, I can't, you can't, and and that's fine, Eavan,
- 14:19Speaker 2: but like and you should stick to your guns. But
- 14:23Speaker 2: I don't think that we should burn the house down
- 14:25Speaker 2: because of differing opinions.
- 14:27Speaker 9: Okay, I mean I think you guys are misunderstanding what
- 14:30Speaker 9: I'm saying.
- 14:30Speaker 6: No, no, you're saying that you're the only one who
- 14:33Speaker 6: knows enough to know that.
- 14:35Speaker 9: I didn't say that. I didn't say that.
- 14:38Speaker 6: It's a very I think Fred just put it perfectly.
- 14:40Speaker 6: It's a very subjective thing.
- 14:42Speaker 9: Let's move. I didn't say that, no words in my mouth.
- 14:45Speaker 3: No, no, no. But you are saying that you believe it's
- 14:48Speaker 3: it's a no brainer.
- 14:49Speaker 6: You said, it's not debatable. That's what you said. It's
- 14:53Speaker 6: not debatable.
- 14:56Speaker 9: It's it's very hard to make a case.
- 14:58Speaker 4: He's not just because with you on, Luke doesn't mean
- 15:02Speaker 4: Mike cast do or maybe I don't agree with what
- 15:05Speaker 4: Mike does, like I.
- 15:05Speaker 5: Think No, I think these things are actually more black
- 15:08Speaker 5: and white than you guys do.
- 15:10Speaker 9: Okay, I think it's a yes or no, and I
- 15:12Speaker 9: think that.
- 15:14Speaker 3: But I would have a very small hall.
- 15:17Speaker 5: That's but I think that part of the issue with
- 15:20Speaker 5: this whole thing. And you know, some people put this
- 15:23Speaker 5: out there last night. It's like there's five candidates for
- 15:26Speaker 5: three spots and you put three on your ballot.
- 15:29Speaker 9: That's credit.
- 15:30Speaker 6: It's like it's now now, like it was.
- 15:33Speaker 2: A year, and I'm just if there was a year
- 15:35Speaker 2: that was on the ballot, Curtis Martin, Jerry Rice, you know,
- 15:40Speaker 2: Dan Marino, name name, the illuminatory course should be twenty
- 15:44Speaker 2: in that class.
- 15:45Speaker 3: If those people happen to be on the.
- 15:46Speaker 5: Same That's sort of what I think is a better
- 15:49Speaker 5: way of trying to say what I'm trying to say.
- 15:52Speaker 5: Guys that are Hall of Fame caliber players, it's are
- 15:55Speaker 5: they or are they not? It's yes or no, And
- 15:57Speaker 5: we can debate whether or not they are or not
- 15:59Speaker 5: based on off the credit, you know, our personal feelings.
- 16:02Speaker 5: But my point is is like this should not be
- 16:04Speaker 5: a situation where like it's so technical about how exactly
- 16:09Speaker 5: it comes.
- 16:10Speaker 9: Did you ruin it? We all think he's a Hall
- 16:12Speaker 9: of Famer, Yes, he should be in the Hall of Fame.
- 16:14Speaker 2: No, I agree with that way of doing it, like
- 16:17Speaker 2: it should be if you have to think about it.
- 16:20Speaker 4: No, the did you guys see the Mike Sando tweet
- 16:25Speaker 4: last night about what may have happened.
- 16:27Speaker 3: With the vote.
- 16:27Speaker 9: That's what i'm.
- 16:28Speaker 6: That's what i'm and that's that's what made me think
- 16:30Speaker 6: of it.
- 16:31Speaker 4: Now, I'm totally with you, but it was and I
- 16:33Speaker 4: want to call it up because I want to give
- 16:36Speaker 4: There's no way I could possibly explain it, okay, you know,
- 16:44Speaker 4: maybe for some, but not for all, because obviously eleven
- 16:47Speaker 4: or more had to vote not not put him on
- 16:50Speaker 4: their ballot.
- 16:50Speaker 6: Right because he needed forty.
- 16:52Speaker 4: And this is according to Mike Sydy says, in my opinion,
- 16:55Speaker 4: I think some voters just think about all the finalists
- 16:57Speaker 4: should get in and then favorite candidates who have been
- 17:00Speaker 4: eating longer when forced against their will to choose by
- 17:02Speaker 4: a system that is trying to push them in another direction.
- 17:05Speaker 6: That is not me.
- 17:06Speaker 4: I believe in picking the best candidates every year, and
- 17:08Speaker 4: if some worthy but lesser guys fall by the wayside,
- 17:12Speaker 4: that's the way it goes.
- 17:15Speaker 6: And I want to get to how can I find this? Okay,
- 17:21Speaker 6: here it is.
- 17:23Speaker 4: I'm a Hall of Fame voter who saw his sort
- 17:26Speaker 4: of hypothetical as to how this may have happened. I'm
- 17:28Speaker 4: a Hall of Fame voter who saw Belichick as a
- 17:30Speaker 4: slam dunk. I don't know anything about the voting results,
- 17:33Speaker 4: but if this is true, and we'll find out officially
- 17:35Speaker 4: next week, the question is how good this happen? Before
- 17:38Speaker 4: I list possibilities, understand this. Belichick, Craft, Craig Anderson in
- 17:43Speaker 4: Greenwood are competing for the one to three spots as Evan.
- 17:47Speaker 4: This is why when Evan started down this road, I
- 17:49Speaker 4: totally understand where he's coming from. And this is separate
- 17:52Speaker 4: from the fifteen modern era finalists, which obviously Adam Vinteri is.
- 17:56Speaker 4: Among fifty voters each pick three of the five between
- 18:01Speaker 4: one to three make it forty plus votes needed for
- 18:03Speaker 4: anyone besides the top vote get.
- 18:04Speaker 6: Or to make it. It's a zero sum game.
- 18:07Speaker 4: Huge change made in twenty twenty five, two hundred and
- 18:10Speaker 4: fifty total votes to go around for five candidates with
- 18:13Speaker 4: a high bar for clearance. Now we count the potential
- 18:16Speaker 4: ways Belichick might get fewer than forty votes, even when
- 18:18Speaker 4: forty plus on the committee think he's a Hall of Famer.
- 18:21Speaker 4: Let's say four or five voters who were strong advocates,
- 18:24Speaker 4: were specific senior players, figured Belichick was going to make
- 18:27Speaker 4: it in regardless, so they funneled voters to competing candidates
- 18:32Speaker 4: in hopes of boosting them over the forty vote threshold.
- 18:35Speaker 4: Let's say a few voters prioritize senior players in their
- 18:38Speaker 4: thinking that Belichick will be back in the room next year,
- 18:40Speaker 4: while players on the ballot this year might disappear into
- 18:43Speaker 4: the senior pool forever. Let's say a few voters found
- 18:46Speaker 4: Spygate cheating disqualifying. Let's say a few voters protested the
- 18:51Speaker 4: new rules making coaches elible one year after retiring instead
- 18:55Speaker 4: of five years after retiring. Whatever the case, I would
- 18:58Speaker 4: see this as a repeat mudiation of the new voting
- 19:02Speaker 4: rules implemented for twenty twenty five, not of Belichick or
- 19:05Speaker 4: any candidate not making it. There will be changes in
- 19:07Speaker 4: this process, I predict. So I would just say that
- 19:11Speaker 4: whole long confliction, and Mike Sando is as thorough as
- 19:14Speaker 4: they come when it comes to this kind of stuff.
- 19:16Speaker 4: This is not a shot at Mike Sando. Matter of fact,
- 19:18Speaker 4: I applaud him because I think this is a very
- 19:20Speaker 4: plausible thing. Does that sound like any kind of a
- 19:23Speaker 4: rational way to decide? Evan Lazarre is a Hall of Famer,
- 19:28Speaker 4: Mike Dessau is not. Now that's absurd, That's absolutely absurd,
- 19:33Speaker 4: because you think that Bill's going to get in any way,
- 19:36Speaker 4: but the senior guy is probably going to fall into
- 19:39Speaker 4: the pool next year and he'll go by the wayside.
- 19:41Speaker 4: So I'm gonna or I'm going to try to make
- 19:43Speaker 4: sure that I bump up that senior guy with extra
- 19:46Speaker 4: votes because Bill's getting in any way. Like they should
- 19:49Speaker 4: have to vote for who they think is a Hall
- 19:51Speaker 4: of Famer and there should be no cap This whole
- 19:53Speaker 4: one to three of these guys, like Evan just said.
- 19:57Speaker 6: Is absurd.
- 19:58Speaker 9: And I think that that's what's this. It's like.
- 20:02Speaker 5: It's it's like an electoral college situation where you're not.
- 20:06Speaker 9: Winning, you know what I mean.
- 20:08Speaker 5: And it's like, I don't know, this is a hall
- 20:10Speaker 5: of fame. It's a yes or no question. Is he
- 20:13Speaker 5: a Hall of Famer or is he not? And like
- 20:15Speaker 5: I said, we can argue or debate if he is
- 20:17Speaker 5: or isn't not Bill, but like other people, but it's
- 20:20Speaker 5: it should be black and white. It shouldn't have to
- 20:22Speaker 5: be all this other nonsense that goes into it. And
- 20:26Speaker 5: you know, I stand by what I said. I I
- 20:28Speaker 5: just feel as though that they get this so wrong
- 20:31Speaker 5: so many times that now I'm like questioning the entire
- 20:34Speaker 5: voting body and like questioning whether or not some of
- 20:38Speaker 5: these people should be losing their vote.
- 20:39Speaker 2: Some people just don't be able to They don't know
- 20:42Speaker 2: what to do with power. And this is power that
- 20:45Speaker 2: these people have. They have power over people's lives and
- 20:49Speaker 2: they just don't know how to handle it.
- 20:51Speaker 5: If they were getting it right, I wouldn't be sitting
- 20:53Speaker 5: here saying, you know, questioning their like you know, knowledge
- 20:57Speaker 5: or ability or whatever to vote on it. But every
- 20:59Speaker 5: single year there's something crazy that happens that you're like,
- 21:02Speaker 5: what do you mean, Like, what are you guys doing?
- 21:03Speaker 10: Yeah, and this is the biggest one though, But I
- 21:05Speaker 10: still were you guys surprised?
- 21:07Speaker 8: Like I mean, I think we all kind of talked
- 21:09Speaker 8: about potentially being an.
- 21:10Speaker 3: Issue every year that Craft doesn't get out of surprised.
- 21:13Speaker 3: And I'm surprised at this as well.
- 21:15Speaker 2: If if Craft and Belichick don't meet the criteria.
- 21:21Speaker 8: For who does.
- 21:26Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 21:27Speaker 4: Yeah, But to your point, Mike, I remember when because
- 21:30Speaker 4: we talked about came out and I went back and forth.
- 21:33Speaker 6: And I said I could see it. Yeah, but I
- 21:35Speaker 6: could see it because of the pettiness.
- 21:37Speaker 8: Yeah right, and that might.
- 21:39Speaker 10: Driving a guy of Bill Belichick, who is, let's face it,
- 21:41Speaker 10: polarizing across the league. And I'm sure there are plenty
- 21:43Speaker 10: of people in that committee that have very strong feelings
- 21:45Speaker 10: both ways towards him, that it took something like this
- 21:49Speaker 10: to really shine the light. I've never seen an outpouring
- 21:51Speaker 10: like this of people being like this is absolutely ridiculous,
- 21:55Speaker 10: Like this guy is, by most accounts of the greatest
- 21:57Speaker 10: coach of all time, certainly most accomplished head coach.
- 22:01Speaker 8: But this might be what it takes.
- 22:03Speaker 12: I was.
- 22:04Speaker 4: I was surprised last night when I saw that. To
- 22:06Speaker 4: answer the question, I was even though I.
- 22:08Speaker 13: Thought there was a chance it could happen, but I
- 22:11Speaker 13: didn't really think because these kinds of things I always think,
- 22:14Speaker 13: and I kind of think like how I would feel,
- 22:18Speaker 13: and I'd be like, I'll be damned if I'm going
- 22:20Speaker 13: to let them say that I let any kind.
- 22:22Speaker 4: Of personal bias get into this. I'm going to go
- 22:25Speaker 4: out of my way to make sure I vote for him,
- 22:27Speaker 4: you know what I mean. And that's kind of what
- 22:29Speaker 4: I thought would end up happening. And you know, maybe
- 22:31Speaker 4: they maybe ten or twelve of them had to hold
- 22:33Speaker 4: their nose to vote for him.
- 22:35Speaker 6: But I figured, yeah, he would, he would walk walk in.
- 22:39Speaker 6: I really did.
- 22:39Speaker 5: I also think that, you know the whole, Oh, we're
- 22:43Speaker 5: gonna keep them off this year as punishment, but next
- 22:47Speaker 5: year he's a Hall of Famer, right like that, Now,
- 22:50Speaker 5: now you're just being petty. And then on top of it,
- 22:53Speaker 5: like he should be a first ballot Hall of Famer
- 22:56Speaker 5: and you just took that from him.
- 22:57Speaker 3: That is not you to be the arbiter of punishment,
- 23:00Speaker 3: right you know, So.
- 23:01Speaker 5: If you're gonna put him in next year, that makes
- 23:04Speaker 5: it even worse because like now, and you're also taking
- 23:07Speaker 5: a spot from somebody that might be worthy next year
- 23:09Speaker 5: because he goes back into the coaches committee.
- 23:12Speaker 6: That's a good point too.
- 23:13Speaker 9: And so all these.
- 23:13Speaker 5: Other coaches that are still going to be waiting, they
- 23:16Speaker 5: get bumped again for another year because Bill still isn't in.
- 23:19Speaker 8: And does Bill if he goes in next year, does
- 23:21Speaker 8: he say, you know what, I'm not coming this summer.
- 23:23Speaker 8: I'm not going to do a speech here.
- 23:24Speaker 6: Because to be there the whole, like.
- 23:32Speaker 4: These all these varying criteria, to me, the problem just
- 23:36Speaker 4: Fred's has it perfect If if you have thirty guys
- 23:41Speaker 4: that are no brain or Hall of famers all at once.
- 23:43Speaker 6: They all should go in at once. If you have none,
- 23:46Speaker 6: the next year you have none.
- 23:47Speaker 4: Like this shouldn't be like you need to have five
- 23:49Speaker 4: to seven modern era finalists and one to three of
- 23:53Speaker 4: the coach, contributor whatever senior categories. Like what if the
- 23:58Speaker 4: senior guy is just a guy who's a no brainer
- 24:01Speaker 4: Hall of Famer and somehow just fell through the cracks,
- 24:04Speaker 4: you know, and then the coach is Bill Belichick and
- 24:07Speaker 4: the contributor is Robert Kraft, Like, so we have three
- 24:10Speaker 4: locks for the Hall of Fame.
- 24:12Speaker 6: They can't go in because you can't have them all.
- 24:15Speaker 6: Like that's dominant.
- 24:16Speaker 2: It's stupid, you know what, Damn you because we should
- 24:22Speaker 2: be talking Super Bowl and the Patriots and now you
- 24:24Speaker 2: got us talking about this Craft's arguing with each other.
- 24:28Speaker 4: We're no, it's the whole that was like a picky
- 24:33Speaker 4: owing thing. The whole process is so flawed. It's just
- 24:37Speaker 4: and I think it's like that for all the sports.
- 24:39Speaker 4: Jeff Kent in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
- 24:42Speaker 10: But Devn's point, I mean, Torell Owens was the last
- 24:44Speaker 10: big player to kind of get hosed and to go
- 24:47Speaker 10: through this drama with the Hall of Fame and now
- 24:49Speaker 10: with Bill doing it hopefully that I mean, I just
- 24:51Speaker 10: I've never seen anything like it.
- 24:52Speaker 8: That was just everything all of football Twitter last night.
- 24:55Speaker 6: YE had nothing.
- 24:55Speaker 4: I had to put my phone down. I was like,
- 24:57Speaker 4: I don't want to read about this anymore, and like.
- 25:00Speaker 5: Send any tweets regret.
- 25:03Speaker 9: I got back to the film.
- 25:06Speaker 8: I thought, I thought. I was like, is this is
- 25:08Speaker 8: this overwhelming?
- 25:09Speaker 5: Or now?
- 25:09Speaker 10: Then next al Fourier tweeted like, is there a way
- 25:10Speaker 10: I can adjust my algorithm to stop seeing all the outpours?
- 25:13Speaker 5: I mean, even Mike Florio is on his side, like
- 25:16Speaker 5: you know, like even people that we know I've had
- 25:18Speaker 5: bones to pick with him in the past, you know,
- 25:21Speaker 5: players like you know, I saw Jonas Gray, who all
- 25:25Speaker 5: the reason in the world to not like Bill, even
- 25:27Speaker 5: he said, what the heck are we doing?
- 25:30Speaker 9: You know, like it just everybody. It was everybody.
- 25:33Speaker 2: Yeah, So that's what's happening.
- 25:37Speaker 8: That's what's happened. So who's gonna get in.
- 25:39Speaker 2: I mean, there's gonna be nothings leaked out about vinetaria craft,
- 25:43Speaker 2: So maybe that's good.
- 25:44Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 25:46Speaker 6: I find it weird that that leaked out.
- 25:48Speaker 14: I do.
- 25:49Speaker 8: I like Evan Singer though.
- 25:51Speaker 6: That's a goodd that's gonna be on Thursday night next week.
- 25:53Speaker 9: And I think I think they knew the pr was
- 25:56Speaker 9: going to be so.
- 25:57Speaker 10: Bad it would have overshadowed everything. And that's all of
- 25:59Speaker 10: NFL Honors Nights.
- 26:00Speaker 8: NFL Honors MVP might be Drake Mays the MVP, but
- 26:04Speaker 8: we're going to spend the next forty minutes talking about
- 26:06Speaker 8: how Bill Elichick I got something.
- 26:07Speaker 2: Telling you folks, don't support the sham, don't do it,
- 26:11Speaker 2: don't do it? All right, what do we got Patriots wise?
- 26:15Speaker 2: This whole thing with with Drake May and his shoulder
- 26:18Speaker 2: and everything. Yeah, you know, uh, it.
- 26:22Speaker 10: Might be a little it might be a little rusty
- 26:24Speaker 10: and little banged ups. Hoping he gets better.
- 26:26Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know.
- 26:26Speaker 8: It seems it seems like it's kind.
- 26:27Speaker 10: Of sucking the air out of the room, this story
- 26:29Speaker 10: right now, where it's like, you know, I get it,
- 26:30Speaker 10: he might be hurt, but it's all signs sound like
- 26:33Speaker 10: he's gonna play, and he doesn't seem like he came
- 26:35Speaker 10: out of the game. And it wouldn't be a super
- 26:37Speaker 10: Bowl if our quarterback wasn't question, just like the Brady
- 26:39Speaker 10: ankle thing from Super Bowl forty two when he got
- 26:42Speaker 10: hurt against the Chargers and you know, was then.
- 26:44Speaker 8: In a boot, and so this is he's heard thirty six.
- 26:46Speaker 6: Yeah, thirty six was ankle.
- 26:50Speaker 4: Yeah, he was in a boot in right shoulder.
- 26:54Speaker 9: Every week.
- 26:55Speaker 5: I think, you know, there's a lot of it's a
- 26:57Speaker 5: combination of you know, Doc Chow and all these people
- 27:02Speaker 5: saying that they saw something on the thing on the video,
- 27:06Speaker 5: and then also I think, you know he hasn't played
- 27:07Speaker 5: well yeah, and you know he's missing throws that.
- 27:10Speaker 8: This is why he's just he's been hurt. Obviously, this
- 27:12Speaker 8: is what it is.
- 27:12Speaker 9: But I think that that's pace of it, right.
- 27:14Speaker 5: I not to like absolve it, but like I think
- 27:16Speaker 5: that you know, there's throws on film that he's made
- 27:19Speaker 5: all year long that he's not making in the playoffs,
- 27:21Speaker 5: and you're just kind of like, what's going on here,
- 27:23Speaker 5: and especially in this last game against the Broncos. And
- 27:27Speaker 5: I think now all of a sudden, you know, he's
- 27:28Speaker 5: missing short like guy that has a great arm is
- 27:32Speaker 5: it can't get the ball there all of a sudden,
- 27:33Speaker 5: So people are wondering, you know what what's going on?
- 27:36Speaker 2: Hard to judge anything from that second half on Sunday.
- 27:40Speaker 2: I'm you know, I know that when he ran for
- 27:43Speaker 2: that first down, he pumped his right arm.
- 27:46Speaker 9: Fist, so he stiffed armed the guy.
- 27:48Speaker 2: I think with today's therapy and all that stuff, he'll
- 27:51Speaker 2: be ready to go.
- 27:52Speaker 10: I'm not worry three too. I mean, you guys remember
- 27:54Speaker 10: getting hurt at twenty three. I was like, oh, I
- 27:55Speaker 10: feel crappy for a day and a half.
- 27:57Speaker 3: Not like I'd be profen tonight, I'd be playing tomorrow.
- 28:00Speaker 10: Right right now, It's like I'm gonna be feeling like
- 28:02Speaker 10: crap for the next week.
- 28:03Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 28:04Speaker 5: When he said on the radio yesterday with EEI I
- 28:06Speaker 5: thought was interesting, which was more he was talking less
- 28:10Speaker 5: about like structural damage and more about.
- 28:12Speaker 9: Like fatigue, wearing like like arm fatigue.
- 28:15Speaker 5: He said, he's been throwing, you know, going back to
- 28:18Speaker 5: training camp thirty thirty five weeks now, and that's a
- 28:20Speaker 5: lot longer than he normally ever has or ever would.
- 28:24Speaker 3: You have to put him on a pitch count?
- 28:25Speaker 5: Yeah, and so I do wonder about that a little bit,
- 28:28Speaker 5: but especially the practices here this week, Like, is really
- 28:31Speaker 5: any reason for him to go out there and throw
- 28:33Speaker 5: thirty five times in tomorrow's practice, Like maybe that would
- 28:36Speaker 5: take it a little easy.
- 28:37Speaker 3: So is this the first practice of the week.
- 28:39Speaker 10: No, no practice today, doing a lot of media stuff.
- 28:41Speaker 10: We've seen, right the guy's walking through the tunnel. We
- 28:44Speaker 10: saw that, you know, the set and everything they're getting
- 28:46Speaker 10: ready to to.
- 28:46Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 28:47Speaker 2: So NBC is in the house today and they're getting
- 28:49Speaker 2: all their stuff ready for the game because they're the
- 28:52Speaker 2: network doing the game, and so they get all the
- 28:55Speaker 2: you know, Ramandre Stevenson, you know, and all that stuff,
- 28:59Speaker 2: and they look at the camp. They have their uniforms
- 29:01Speaker 2: with the Super Bowl patch. So they had to redo
- 29:04Speaker 2: all the stuff that they had during the season.
- 29:06Speaker 10: I like the patch patches got a little flavored now
- 29:08Speaker 10: to it. It's yeah, for a while it was just
- 29:10Speaker 10: the silver numbers.
- 29:12Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 29:12Speaker 8: Like I like when they go back to they all.
- 29:14Speaker 10: Had a little bit of design and in the city
- 29:17Speaker 10: and remember that.
- 29:21Speaker 9: Miami.
- 29:21Speaker 3: I guess they were like, it's a palm tree.
- 29:27Speaker 9: Yeah, yes, I don't know.
- 29:30Speaker 8: It's not California enough for you.
- 29:33Speaker 6: We have to be like Arnold California, like California.
- 29:36Speaker 9: Do you understand what I'm saying? Right, it looks kind
- 29:38Speaker 9: of like Hawaii Fi or something.
- 29:41Speaker 6: Tropical.
- 29:42Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think if San Francisco is even if
- 29:45Speaker 4: it was l A, I would think it would be
- 29:46Speaker 4: more appropriate than for San Francisco.
- 29:49Speaker 9: As you know, as you know, mister.
- 29:54Speaker 4: Yeah, So Mike has promised to guide me to the
- 29:58Speaker 4: best in and out burger.

- 30:19Speaker 3: I know it is more you know, it.
- 30:21Speaker 8: Sneaks out afterwards. There's no sneaking about it.
- 30:25Speaker 5: I just know in San Francisco, Chinatown's like like very

- 30:43Speaker 3: Miles, you need two hours and a boy, oh.
- 30:46Speaker 8: Boy, that'll be fun. Traffic in California.
- 30:50Speaker 2: Wait a minute, we promised we wouldn't complain about so
- 30:53Speaker 2: we're not gonna We're not.
- 30:54Speaker 6: We're not even there yet. We're broke our own rule.
- 30:57Speaker 3: We're not gonna do that. No, I just back to
- 30:59Speaker 3: the Mexican food.
- 31:00Speaker 6: No.
- 31:00Speaker 10: I just the weather's killing me right now with this
- 31:02Speaker 10: projected Sunday weather. Of you know, I know, we're trying to.
- 31:05Speaker 8: Get out and maybe there's a rally.
- 31:07Speaker 6: The weather here.
- 31:08Speaker 10: You're out and it's like there might be a no
- 31:10Speaker 10: o'easter coming back in, and that's just kind of you
- 31:13Speaker 10: start to get angry.
- 31:14Speaker 3: Can you just get the snow stop it?
- 31:17Speaker 8: I know, I know, but the.
- 31:19Speaker 5: City right now is a mess. So I can't imagine
- 31:21Speaker 5: if we get hitt of another storm.
- 31:23Speaker 9: Right, I mean, there's like.
- 31:26Speaker 5: Where do you put it because the roads are so narrow,
- 31:29Speaker 5: and there's so many little side streets and half of
- 31:32Speaker 5: them aren't plowed, and it's now it's just like getting
- 31:35Speaker 5: padded down by the cars going over it.
- 31:37Speaker 9: And it's a mess. It's a mess. There's a car
- 31:40Speaker 9: stuck in every corner like you.
- 31:41Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, buried?
- 31:43Speaker 9: Yeah? Not good?
- 31:45Speaker 3: Not good? All right?
- 31:47Speaker 2: Eight five five past five hundred is the Hotline podcast
- 31:50Speaker 2: at Patriots dot com.
- 31:52Speaker 3: Is the email address?
- 31:54Speaker 2: Anything else we need to go over before we start
- 31:56Speaker 2: opening it up to everybody.
- 31:59Speaker 8: No immediate news. I mean, and they will practice tomorrow
- 32:01Speaker 8: and Friday, so he'll get a couple of days.
- 32:02Speaker 5: I have an injury report and estimated don't practice today,
- 32:06Speaker 5: but they have to give an estimated injury report. So technically,
- 32:10Speaker 5: if there's something going on with Drake May then he
- 32:12Speaker 5: would be on.
- 32:14Speaker 9: He doesn't have to be.
- 32:15Speaker 3: No, it's estimated.
- 32:17Speaker 5: Well he should be if there's something going on, he
- 32:20Speaker 5: should be based off the rules, Does he have to
- 32:23Speaker 5: be No, I don't.
- 32:24Speaker 3: I'm not sure about the rules for estimations.
- 32:27Speaker 2: It was like, it's isn't it based on the last
- 32:29Speaker 2: time that he practiced or played?
- 32:31Speaker 5: No, it's based off of if they were to have
- 32:33Speaker 5: practice today, would he have participated in the practice.
- 32:37Speaker 3: Based on the last time they practiced or played? Right?
- 32:40Speaker 15: No?
- 32:41Speaker 9: Well, yeah, but if he has an injury, then he today.
- 32:44Speaker 6: I mean, you understand it, Okay, all right? I mean
- 32:46Speaker 6: I don't.
- 32:47Speaker 4: I don't expect him to be on any injury reports
- 32:50Speaker 4: over the next two weeks. I don't expect to see him.
- 32:52Speaker 4: But Devan's right, if he got hurt in the game
- 32:57Speaker 4: or aggravated something that he was already dealing with in
- 32:59Speaker 4: the game, then.
- 33:02Speaker 6: By the letter of the law, he would be on
- 33:04Speaker 6: the injury report.
- 33:05Speaker 4: But I don't I don't think it's significant enough to
- 33:07Speaker 4: land him on the injury report, even if there was
- 33:09Speaker 4: something that happened, all right, I got In other words,
- 33:13Speaker 4: I don't think he'll be missing any snaps, you know,
- 33:17Speaker 4: so I think you can get away with it, get
- 33:19Speaker 4: around it whatever, even maybe he's listed as a full participant, yeah,
- 33:23Speaker 4: you know, but I don't know.
- 33:26Speaker 2: Doesn't strike me as the kind of guy that plays
- 33:27Speaker 2: games with this, you know, let him think that he's
- 33:30Speaker 2: more hurt than he is. I don't think that he
- 33:32Speaker 2: has the time, no, but maybe maybe he does.
- 33:35Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 33:35Speaker 9: Maybe today might not be the day for it.
- 33:37Speaker 5: But the only thing I was potentially thinking was maybe
- 33:39Speaker 5: like a pitch count and practice, you know, just to
- 33:41Speaker 5: take it easy, a little bit on the arm.
- 33:43Speaker 9: They should during the bye week. That was the only thing.
- 33:45Speaker 6: If he's banged up, absolutely, if he's fine, then no,
- 33:50Speaker 6: like that that would And I don't have any idea
- 33:52Speaker 6: either way.
- 33:52Speaker 9: The only reason why I.
- 33:53Speaker 5: Said, because of what he said on the radio yesterday,
- 33:55Speaker 5: which is that this is a lot longer football season
- 33:58Speaker 5: than he's ever played.
- 34:00Speaker 6: Right, you know, go to the twenty first game.
- 34:02Speaker 5: Right, and he's you know, whether it was college or
- 34:04Speaker 5: last year, he was not playing twenty one games of
- 34:07Speaker 5: NFL football, you know. So it's just a lot he's
- 34:11Speaker 5: been throwing, you know? Is it just in terms of me?
- 34:14Speaker 10: They track everything like how much are you run? How
- 34:17Speaker 10: many steps you take in practice? I would imagine how
- 34:19Speaker 10: many throws you take is also something that they measure
- 34:22Speaker 10: and are cognizant of not overdoing it.
- 34:25Speaker 1: Yep.
- 34:26Speaker 2: Okay, let's get to the phones. We'll start with Alex
- 34:29Speaker 2: in San Diego. What's up, Alex?
- 34:32Speaker 16: I think, guys, I have to agree with everything with
- 34:34Speaker 16: this whole Belichick thing. I think it's absolutely absurd and
- 34:37Speaker 16: as one of you said, it's straight ignorance. But anyway,
- 34:40Speaker 16: in a lighter note, we're back, do congrats on finally
- 34:43Speaker 16: making it.
- 34:44Speaker 8: It was a fun Did you have fun?
- 34:45Speaker 11: You having fun?
- 34:47Speaker 16: What's up?
- 34:48Speaker 8: Do you have fun? Are you having fun?
- 34:51Speaker 17: Oh?
- 34:51Speaker 16: Of course of course. But really the reason I called
- 34:54Speaker 16: in I just wanted to keep your guys opinion on
- 34:56Speaker 16: really what's going on here with Will Campbell. I really
- 34:59Speaker 16: don't like excuses.
- 35:00Speaker 15: Maybe he's hurt.
- 35:01Speaker 16: Let's just say, for example, he's not, though he wasn't
- 35:05Speaker 16: hurt against Miles Garrett and Grant. Miles Garrett had an
- 35:07Speaker 16: all time season, but Khalil Mack, Will Andrews and Nick Benito, like,
- 35:11Speaker 16: he didn't look good. And I don't know if this
- 35:13Speaker 16: is a strengthening that over time maybe he can get
- 35:16Speaker 16: stronger and improve on. But I just believed with the
- 35:19Speaker 16: intangibles for someone that you picked at number four, like,
- 35:21Speaker 16: I have hope for this. But granted, I don't think
- 35:24Speaker 16: Seattle has one of those elite guys as well. But
- 35:26Speaker 16: you know, I'm still hopeful here. But you know, Drake
- 35:28Speaker 16: May just really hasn't looked settled in the pocket all
- 35:31Speaker 16: playoffs here, and I think it's really affected some of
- 35:33Speaker 16: these throws that he's just made all year long.
- 35:35Speaker 8: But yeah, I'll take it off the air, Okay, Yeah,
- 35:37Speaker 8: it's a fair question.
- 35:39Speaker 5: I would just push back a little bit on the
- 35:41Speaker 5: Beanino side of it, Like outside of the cup block,
- 35:44Speaker 5: he was fine against Nick Banino in the game on Sunday.
- 35:46Speaker 5: I didn't have him with any pressures allowed the Banino
- 35:49Speaker 5: outside of the cup block. So that's an ugly rep
- 35:51Speaker 5: there's no there's no running from that. But was that
- 35:54Speaker 5: like a true wasn't a one on one lot like
- 35:57Speaker 5: he tried to cut him and he missed, you know,
- 35:58Speaker 5: like it's not like a situation where he got you know,
- 36:01Speaker 5: blown by like we have seen a little bit. So
- 36:04Speaker 5: I thought he was better in this game. But the
- 36:07Speaker 5: long term question of whether or not he's a left
- 36:09Speaker 5: tackle I think remains.
- 36:10Speaker 9: But you know, he's he's a rookie.
- 36:13Speaker 5: It's his first year going up against really highly elite
- 36:17Speaker 5: skilled rushers like you just mentioned Will Anderson and Khalil
- 36:20Speaker 5: Maccleil Maxicin. Well, I don't know anymore, but he should
- 36:23Speaker 5: be in the Hall of Fame someday. And Will Anderson
- 36:25Speaker 5: is currently one of the best players in the league.
- 36:27Speaker 5: So you're talking about the elite of the elite guys
- 36:30Speaker 5: giving him problem.
- 36:31Speaker 10: With the body types, they give him problems too, And yeah,
- 36:34Speaker 10: it's hard. I just I wonder what the approaches this
- 36:36Speaker 10: offseason with the offensive line because it's just I think
- 36:40Speaker 10: almost every spot has questions. Morgan Moses is old, Mike
- 36:44Speaker 10: One is going to make a ton of money, Garret
- 36:47Speaker 10: Bradberry is also a little bit older.
- 36:49Speaker 8: Jared Wilson.
- 36:50Speaker 10: People talk about him maybe going to center, Will Campbell
- 36:52Speaker 10: talk about him maybe going a left guard. I just
- 36:55Speaker 10: think the thing that hangs over it that I don't
- 36:57Speaker 10: want to subscribe to is that if by acknowledging he
- 37:00Speaker 10: might have to move to guard, that you blew the pick,
- 37:02Speaker 10: you know, and and yeah, maybe you wish that you
- 37:04Speaker 10: had gotten more out of the fourth overall pick, But
- 37:06Speaker 10: you know, if Will Campbell ultimately ends up being a
- 37:08Speaker 10: really good guard, I'm not gonna sit here in lament like, well,
- 37:10Speaker 10: they drafted a guard fourth overall.
- 37:12Speaker 8: If it works out, it works out.
- 37:13Speaker 10: But I think that's what's hanging over this whole conversation
- 37:15Speaker 10: is that people don't want to get into that nitty
- 37:18Speaker 10: gritty because they feel.
- 37:19Speaker 8: Like it's a bust. He's a bust if he ends
- 37:21Speaker 8: up at left guard, right.
- 37:22Speaker 5: I would also say, if he ends up moving in
- 37:24Speaker 5: guard in the future, but they win a Super Bowl
- 37:26Speaker 5: with him at left tackle, yeah right, Yeah, I don't know, right,
- 37:30Speaker 5: So you know, isn't.
- 37:32Speaker 10: That the funny thing though, of like how much time
- 37:34Speaker 10: we spend talking about like needing a number one or
- 37:36Speaker 10: k needing depth or you know, k needing x Y
- 37:39Speaker 10: or z or this is a flaw and then one
- 37:41Speaker 10: year it all just kind of lines up. And that's
- 37:44Speaker 10: why if I was like a Jets fan or a
- 37:45Speaker 10: Bills fan, I'm like, how has this never happened for
- 37:48Speaker 10: us in like fifty years? Never once did we just
- 37:51Speaker 10: happen to kind of like get a favorable draw, had
- 37:54Speaker 10: a good injury luck, and despite perceived roster weaknesses, we
- 37:58Speaker 10: were able to make it.
- 37:59Speaker 3: Why Why did the Patriots.
- 38:00Speaker 8: Get to do this again?
- 38:01Speaker 6: It's the number one thing that I push back on
- 38:04Speaker 6: after the Super Bowl every year when whoever wins.
- 38:07Speaker 8: Right, that's what you need, that's what you have to do.
- 38:09Speaker 4: You know, last year it was all about you have
- 38:12Speaker 4: to like dominate on the line, like both sides of
- 38:15Speaker 4: the line. Philadelphia dominated, So that's the only way you
- 38:17Speaker 4: can do it. And I just think there's a lot
- 38:20Speaker 4: of different ways to do it. And every year it
- 38:22Speaker 4: seems like there's a difference in the in the way
- 38:24Speaker 4: the teams are structured.
- 38:26Speaker 5: And you know, now it's all interior defensive line, right,
- 38:29Speaker 5: you know, because the Patriots have Barboard Williams and the
- 38:32Speaker 5: Seahawks have Murphy and and you know there are guys
- 38:36Speaker 5: Leonard Williams, so like now everybody's like saying, oh, got
- 38:40Speaker 5: to have a line.
- 38:41Speaker 4: We've had years where, you know, don't you don't need
- 38:45Speaker 4: any running back, and then there's been years like last
- 38:49Speaker 4: year you have to have the stud running like it
- 38:51Speaker 4: just there's no one way to do it. There's a
- 38:54Speaker 4: lot of different ways to make good football teams and
- 38:57Speaker 4: they're not all built the same way.
- 38:59Speaker 6: And let's face it, Mike, you kind of hit on something.
- 39:02Speaker 3: You didn't use the.
- 39:02Speaker 4: Word, but I'll use it for you, is there's a
- 39:04Speaker 4: lot of luck involved too. You know, Buffalo is one
- 39:09Speaker 4: of those teams, like you're saying, how did that not
- 39:11Speaker 4: ever happen for us? So they had all these really
- 39:13Speaker 4: really good teams and then they would have to go
- 39:15Speaker 4: and play Mahomes when they were really really good and
- 39:16Speaker 4: they fell short. They couldn't have been a really really
- 39:19Speaker 4: good team this year when they wouldn't have had to
- 39:21Speaker 4: face them. No, they would kind of average at best
- 39:24Speaker 4: this year, and they had a road where the Patriots
- 39:27Speaker 4: took the division from them and they had to go
- 39:29Speaker 4: on the road and they fell short. Yeah, you know
- 39:31Speaker 4: without Mahomes that like it's just, yeah, one of those
- 39:33Speaker 4: luck of the drawer, right.
- 39:34Speaker 8: I know your point. There wasn't a lot of AFC
- 39:36Speaker 8: teams getting lucky when Tom Brady was years you know, like.
- 39:39Speaker 4: It was, you you know, like people would say, like
- 39:43Speaker 4: the Colts can't win because they're too soft, they're for nests,
- 39:47Speaker 4: and then they won, you know, with the same style.
- 39:50Speaker 4: You know, but the road was a little different that
- 39:53Speaker 4: year the Patriots. The Patriots were wounded. They they weren't
- 39:56Speaker 4: as good offensively as they had been in the past.
- 39:58Speaker 4: When they let the receivers go and six they were
- 40:01Speaker 4: able to play the game at home instead of on
- 40:03Speaker 4: the road in the snowstorm. They were not lucky. They
- 40:06Speaker 4: felt things fell into place for them.
- 40:08Speaker 10: And I will say this though, having said all that,
- 40:10Speaker 10: there's a good chance we're going to get to any
- 40:12Speaker 10: of the Super Bowl and we're going to be revisiting
- 40:14Speaker 10: all the flaws that we pointed out on this team
- 40:16Speaker 10: going into the season.
- 40:17Speaker 8: During the season, you know, those things could all come
- 40:19Speaker 8: up in the Super Bowl and we come out.
- 40:20Speaker 10: And we say the offensive line has got to be better,
- 40:23Speaker 10: or they really need a dude on the outside.
- 40:26Speaker 8: And that's the case.
- 40:28Speaker 3: You're saying it now.
- 40:29Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm starting to come around on the dude on
- 40:32Speaker 5: the outside thing. I think that the passing game and
- 40:35Speaker 5: the playoffs you've seen, you know, when Diggs gets doubled
- 40:39Speaker 5: on it on the inside on third down, there's just
- 40:42Speaker 5: not a lot going on elsewhere.
- 40:44Speaker 6: I was thinking the defensive team in the outside.
- 40:47Speaker 5: Like I you know that I think is you know,
- 40:49Speaker 5: then you're asking Drake made to like basically they were
- 40:52Speaker 5: on Sunday they were asking Kaysehwan Boody to win contest
- 40:54Speaker 5: catches against Patrick Surtan, which is like, you know, like
- 40:58Speaker 5: I don't know if that's really how you want to
- 41:00Speaker 5: live and that's how you get, you know, the performance
- 41:02Speaker 5: that they had passing Lise, it wouldn't surprise me if
- 41:05Speaker 5: you know a year from now, two years from now,
- 41:07Speaker 5: you know, Wilson and Campbell both bump over to the
- 41:10Speaker 5: right one spot. But I think when you do that,
- 41:13Speaker 5: like who's playing left tackle? And where are you getting
- 41:15Speaker 5: that left tackle? From picking thirty second in the draft.
- 41:18Speaker 10: Yeah, and you already have people saying you got a draft.
- 41:20Speaker 10: I mean I've seen a couple of mock drafts with
- 41:21Speaker 10: them taking a right tackle and you know, Sam Morgan Moses.
- 41:24Speaker 10: So you know, are you really going to go into
- 41:26Speaker 10: this offseason saying nice year from Will, but we're gonna
- 41:29Speaker 10: need to get two tackles this year.
- 41:31Speaker 9: I think you have to give them a lot.
- 41:32Speaker 4: Yes, it will be two years, not one, if it
- 41:35Speaker 4: happens at all. Yeah, he might solidify it.
- 41:37Speaker 2: Yeah, Francisco is a North Carol. Oh I hit the
- 41:40Speaker 2: wrong button. Sorry, Francisco, call back my bad. Uh, Sam's
- 41:44Speaker 2: in North Carolina.
- 41:45Speaker 8: What's up, Sam, Sam?
- 41:51Speaker 15: I have pretty quick thing.
- 41:53Speaker 2: Uh.
- 41:54Speaker 15: The thing is the absolute ridiculous flight. There could never
- 41:58Speaker 15: be another first male head coach. Like if he's not
- 42:01Speaker 15: first beel head coach, there can never be another too,
- 42:06Speaker 15: Like if if we don't like drafted eckle to developing whatever,
- 42:11Speaker 15: Will kempbll is gonna be the left tackle for the
- 42:13Speaker 15: foreseeable future. I don't think there's any question. And when
- 42:18Speaker 15: did Seattle become this some beautiful force? Like the way
- 42:21Speaker 15: they're talking now on TV and things, just like the
- 42:23Speaker 15: Patriots have no shot. Like I know Seattle is a
- 42:27Speaker 15: good team, but we're a good thing too. I just
- 42:29Speaker 15: don't see him dominating the game the way that everybody's seeing.
- 42:33Speaker 15: And Okay, all right in the Super Bowl.
- 42:36Speaker 3: Thanks Sam.
- 42:38Speaker 2: Yeah, we I mean we really haven't dove too deep
- 42:41Speaker 2: yet into Seattle in the specific matchups and all that,
- 42:46Speaker 2: but you know, early looks like, of course the Patriots
- 42:50Speaker 2: have a chance, you know, but Seattle's a good team.
- 42:53Speaker 2: They emerged from the NFC, which a lot of people
- 42:56Speaker 2: believe you had the best teams in football this year.
- 43:01Speaker 2: I don't know if that's debatable. I'd like to know
- 43:03Speaker 2: what was the AFC record versus NFC this.
- 43:06Speaker 3: Year in games played? We know that if he should
- 43:09Speaker 3: be easy to look up, right, I.
- 43:10Speaker 4: Don't know, but I don't think that really is an
- 43:12Speaker 4: indication of the strength of the com.
- 43:13Speaker 2: I remember the Charges played. Was it the forty nine
- 43:16Speaker 2: ers and beat them pretty handily? Or what was it
- 43:18Speaker 2: this year?
- 43:20Speaker 9: The forty nine ers beat the Chargers.
- 43:22Speaker 4: Jacksonville belt Oh, jackson Jacksonville beat the forty nine ers.
- 43:27Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, So I don't.
- 43:29Speaker 10: Know, Yeah yeah, I mean, don't you feel like you've
- 43:31Speaker 10: seen enough Super Bowls to know that, like you think
- 43:33Speaker 10: you know what's going to happen when these games.
- 43:34Speaker 8: Get a little weird.
- 43:35Speaker 3: Absolutely.
- 43:36Speaker 10: I just I have confidence in the Patriots defense. You know,
- 43:39Speaker 10: it's a huge challenge in Seattle's got a lot of talent.
- 43:41Speaker 10: I think they are just across the board just an excellent,
- 43:44Speaker 10: solid football team.
- 43:45Speaker 3: So are we.
- 43:46Speaker 10: I Just my biggest wish for the game at this
- 43:48Speaker 10: point is that we see the Patriots offense that we
- 43:50Speaker 10: watched for the majority of the season and that they
- 43:52Speaker 10: can get back into that mode of you know, seeing
- 43:54Speaker 10: Drake make the plays that made him an MVP candidate
- 43:58Speaker 10: in front of a worldwide audience to oh you know,
- 44:00Speaker 10: yes it was a struggle through three playoff games, but
- 44:03Speaker 10: he got to the super Bowl and shows us why
- 44:05Speaker 10: he's here, right.
- 44:06Speaker 9: Yeah, that's my I mean, that's the game to me.
- 44:08Speaker 5: Like if they if they can't, if they play offense
- 44:11Speaker 5: the way they've been playing offense, they're gonna lose.
- 44:13Speaker 14: Yep.
- 44:13Speaker 5: So they have to find a way again discore some
- 44:15Speaker 5: points because they're not going to hold Seattle to seven points.
- 44:18Speaker 4: That's not happening seven. Yeah, But like what if they
- 44:21Speaker 4: play defense the way they've been playing defense.
- 44:23Speaker 3: I think if they play he is still gonna need
- 44:24Speaker 3: to score.
- 44:25Speaker 9: I think they still get to twenty.
- 44:27Speaker 5: Yeah, I would say seventeen or twenty for the Seattle
- 44:29Speaker 5: gets to seventeen or twenty.
- 44:31Speaker 9: You know, I think, but.
- 44:32Speaker 6: Would that I think that'd be enough to win.
- 44:34Speaker 3: Could be if the defense plays lights out.
- 44:36Speaker 5: I could see like if if to me, like the
- 44:39Speaker 5: most likely Patriots score victories like twenty three to twenty,
- 44:42Speaker 5: you know, a game that has some scoring but is
- 44:46Speaker 5: you know, low twenties.
- 44:48Speaker 8: That was Super Bowl forty nine.
- 44:50Speaker 9: Yeah, it's a really good team. They're a really good team.
- 44:52Speaker 6: I think they're so cute.
- 44:53Speaker 5: They deserve to be favored, and they deserve like I
- 44:55Speaker 5: understand why the national media is all picking Seattle in
- 44:59Speaker 5: the game.
- 44:59Speaker 9: I get it.
- 45:00Speaker 8: It just feels weird to be in this position with
- 45:02Speaker 8: the Patriots.
- 45:02Speaker 10: Kind of being underdogs and acknowledging it, like I mean,
- 45:05Speaker 10: go back to thirty six of the last time that
- 45:07Speaker 10: it felt like this.
- 45:08Speaker 2: Francisco's in North Carolina. I hate Francisco.
- 45:12Speaker 14: Hey, what's going on, guys?
- 45:14Speaker 3: So Francisco?
- 45:16Speaker 8: All right?
- 45:16Speaker 14: So first I just want to start off. I was saying,
- 45:18Speaker 14: you know, I got I got the T shirts and
- 45:20Speaker 14: I can't I can't thank y'all enough for you know,
- 45:23Speaker 14: just to send me that and then going above beyond
- 45:25Speaker 14: and you know, sending me the other one as well.
- 45:27Speaker 18: And you know, so first of all, I just.
- 45:28Speaker 14: Want to thank y'all for that, because you know, I've
- 45:32Speaker 14: got I've got a lot of memories with the Patriots,
- 45:34Speaker 14: and uh, it really struck a chord with me. You know,
- 45:38Speaker 14: y'all going above and beyond. But so like when I
- 45:41Speaker 14: became a Patriots fan, I was five years old and
- 45:43Speaker 14: my grandfather passed away and that's the first time I
- 45:45Speaker 14: ever went to Massachusetts. But when we got there for
- 45:48Speaker 14: a funeral, they gave me one of his Patriots hat
- 45:51Speaker 14: and then from that point on, I was locked in.
- 45:53Speaker 14: But you know, it's i'll know, seeing the ups and
- 45:57Speaker 14: like before, like when Jermaine curs Compact pime, Like I
- 46:00Speaker 14: turned off the TV. I went in my bedroom. You know,
- 46:03Speaker 14: I'm I'm human, and then my stepfather from another room
- 46:06Speaker 14: turns it back on and I hear, oh he has
- 46:08Speaker 14: and picked it, and then you know, I run back in.
- 46:10Speaker 14: You know, after I was just like quickest mood change.
- 46:13Speaker 14: And then like me and my girlfriend, we've been together
- 46:15Speaker 14: for three years and so this year I came so
- 46:21Speaker 14: you know, the three and fourteen or you know whatever,
- 46:24Speaker 14: to where like I was watching games and I'm like,
- 46:26Speaker 14: I'm expecting us to play bad, so I'm not getting
- 46:28Speaker 14: upset and this year she's like, I didn't know you
- 46:31Speaker 14: acted like this when you watch games, and I'm like,
- 46:33Speaker 14: I was like, oh no, when we're great, like like
- 46:35Speaker 14: I'm screaming at the TV, I'm upset with something bad.
- 46:39Speaker 14: And she's like, you know, because the past couple of
- 46:41Speaker 14: years have been terrible. So I just want to I
- 46:43Speaker 14: just want to start off by all right, memories I've
- 46:46Speaker 14: had with.
- 46:46Speaker 2: All right, but before you go, do we have any
- 46:48Speaker 2: predictions from the Great Francisco as to the game?
- 46:53Speaker 4: Uh?
- 46:54Speaker 14: I've got a couple, but I'm holding off on.
- 46:56Speaker 2: A Okay, all right, next you hold off the radio

- 49:20Speaker 2: It's just a treat to see you again.
- 49:22Speaker 20: Thank you very much, and it's good to be back here.
- 49:25Speaker 20: Yeah in New England.
- 49:26Speaker 1: Man, obviously very humbled by the honor.
- 49:29Speaker 2: Yeah, let me let me move this a little closer. Yes,
- 49:35Speaker 2: have you been back? When's the last time you were here?
- 49:38Speaker 20: Well, I was here with the Dallas Cowboys playing against
- 49:41Speaker 20: right Okay, Yeah, yeah, I've.
- 49:43Speaker 1: Been here just a couple of times to play. But no,
- 49:48Speaker 1: I haven't been.
- 49:48Speaker 2: Back because I remember, you know, when the Border war
- 49:51Speaker 2: ended and you did that phone call with the New
- 49:54Speaker 2: England Media and you said, yeah, you know, I'd love
- 49:56Speaker 2: to come up sometime and just see a game.
- 49:58Speaker 3: Still. Wait, I love, We'd love to have you anytime
- 50:01Speaker 3: you want, you know.
- 50:03Speaker 21: You know.
- 50:04Speaker 20: So I'm in Florida in the winter, late season and
- 50:07Speaker 20: in the winter, and uh, I'm racing horses in the
- 50:11Speaker 20: summer most of the time. Yeah, but I do like
- 50:15Speaker 20: it here, and I feel good enough to come back
- 50:17Speaker 20: and see what's going.
- 50:19Speaker 1: That'd be great.
- 50:20Speaker 3: That were great. I know that.
- 50:21Speaker 2: I know everyone would treat you, you know, like a
- 50:24Speaker 2: king if you came back. I can tell you. You know,
- 50:26Speaker 2: I know Julian Edelman's going in today, but I.
- 50:29Speaker 22: Think Fred and I both believe that this is Bill
- 50:31Speaker 22: Parcell's dad.
- 50:33Speaker 1: Yeah. It was great.
- 50:35Speaker 2: And Matt Smith is here too. Matt is our executive coach.
- 50:38Speaker 22: You don't you would never remember this, which I wouldn't
- 50:41Speaker 22: wouldn't blame you. But wait, back when in ninety five
- 50:44Speaker 22: when you were doing the TV show I was doing
- 50:47Speaker 22: the TV show Lynch, Mike Lynch, Mike.
- 50:49Speaker 1: Clinch, Yeah, you remember that. I got it.
- 50:51Speaker 22: Yeah, coach, you'd want two super Bowls. You had some
- 50:57Speaker 22: health concerns. I think people scratch your heads. Why did
- 51:01Speaker 22: you come back? What was it about coming back that
- 51:03Speaker 22: you wanted to come back?
- 51:04Speaker 1: And White here, Well, I just loved the profession.
- 51:07Speaker 20: And you know, it's if you see yourself as something,
- 51:12Speaker 20: which is what I do, and it's all I ever did.
- 51:15Speaker 20: And you know, those health concerns completely disappeared, and I said,
- 51:24Speaker 20: why not? And so I still enjoy it and that's
- 51:27Speaker 20: what I want to do, and so I did it.
- 51:29Speaker 20: But you were picky.
- 51:30Speaker 2: How did James Orthwine convince you to come to the
- 51:33Speaker 2: Patriots because you probably had options.
- 51:35Speaker 1: I'm sure I did have two options.
- 51:38Speaker 20: I remember, mister Orthwe wasn't the one that really talked
- 51:45Speaker 20: me into it. I can't remember the name of the
- 51:47Speaker 20: fella that came down. I was in Florida. They flew
- 51:50Speaker 20: down and we talked down there. That then general manager
- 51:55Speaker 20: was Patrick Forte. Yeah, he came on the plane playing
- 51:58Speaker 20: with us. We talked back forth, got a few things
- 52:01Speaker 20: straight and I said, I'll let you know tomorrow. And
- 52:05Speaker 20: I knew I was going to do it, I think,
- 52:06Speaker 20: and so we got back to it.
- 52:09Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 52:10Speaker 2: So Mickey Corkran was your high school coach, and I
- 52:13Speaker 2: know he was an environmentor to you for a long time.
- 52:17Speaker 3: Did you talk to him before you came here?
- 52:20Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 52:20Speaker 20: But he you know, he's a coach at art. He
- 52:23Speaker 20: wants to see his boy coaching, right so because that
- 52:26Speaker 20: gives him something to do on Sunday. So he was
- 52:31Speaker 20: all for it. You know, I always liked this area.
- 52:35Speaker 20: I live very close to here now and it's been
- 52:39Speaker 20: it's been fun. I've always liked to hear and it's
- 52:42Speaker 20: a special place for me.
- 52:43Speaker 22: So when the when the when the draft was coming around,
- 52:46Speaker 22: to coach Parcels, you know, I think the alleged prognosticators
- 52:51Speaker 22: it's bled Somyer bleds Omayra. Was that a tough decision
- 52:54Speaker 22: for you at the time?
- 52:55Speaker 1: Not for me. I had a little.
- 52:59Speaker 20: Contenson with the personnel director at the time named Charlie Army.
- 53:05Speaker 20: He was he felt like Meyer was a safer pick.
- 53:09Speaker 20: But I watched every pass that Drew Blessoe through on
- 53:14Speaker 20: film for two years. I watched every pass he threw,
- 53:18Speaker 20: and when I was done with that reel, I was
- 53:21Speaker 20: convinced that's who I wanted.
- 53:22Speaker 3: Yeah, what was it about that reel that.
- 53:25Speaker 20: Well, he's a big, strong guy, six' five or six
- 53:28Speaker 20: whatever it, is and he had a good arm they
- 53:31Speaker 20: were playing in a passing offense At Washington, state and
- 53:35Speaker 20: he had a lot of experience in the passing.
- 53:37Speaker 1: Game and.
- 53:39Speaker 20: You, know you never know when you. Pick you don't
- 53:42Speaker 20: know to ever know exactly what you're. Getting, yeah BUT
- 53:45Speaker 20: i thought there was a good chance to be. Successful
- 53:48Speaker 20: he did a good.
- 53:49Speaker 1: Job he sure.
- 53:49Speaker 22: Did the end of the ninety three, Season coach parcels
- 53:53Speaker 22: when you ran off those wins at the, END i
- 53:55Speaker 22: think a lot of people here remember The miami game
- 53:58Speaker 22: here at the end Of. December he Hits timpson down
- 53:59Speaker 22: the seine with that long past at that point in.
- 54:03Speaker 22: TIME i know it doesn't necessarily carry, over but did
- 54:05Speaker 22: you where you think of?
- 54:06Speaker 8: Yourself you know what we might be onto something?
- 54:08Speaker 1: Here you?
- 54:09Speaker 20: KNOW I i was fairly confident in, team even though
- 54:16Speaker 20: the record wasn't showing that. YET i KNEW i had
- 54:21Speaker 20: enough good, players and.
- 54:25Speaker 1: We were getting them every year more and.
- 54:27Speaker 20: More SO i felt like if we could just keep
- 54:31Speaker 20: a good attitude and develop a good toughness and general
- 54:35Speaker 20: overall expecting to.
- 54:37Speaker 1: Win kind of, thing that we might have a. Shot
- 54:40Speaker 1: and fair.
- 54:42Speaker 22: Enough one of my crosses to beer coach is working
- 54:46Speaker 22: With Scott zolac. TODAY i Love, Zoe But zoe tells,
- 54:50Speaker 22: me SO i want to know what's accurate or what's not.
- 54:52Speaker 3: Accurate, okay the.
- 54:53Speaker 1: First of, all he's a slight.
- 54:58Speaker 22: Exaggerator this is where to find out if he's really
- 55:01Speaker 22: exaggerating or. Not so the way he tells the story
- 55:04Speaker 22: is The minnesota game in ninety. Four you guys are
- 55:07Speaker 22: down a, bunch and he said that he went up
- 55:09Speaker 22: to you at halftime in the locker room and, said you.
- 55:11Speaker 8: Gotta let the kid call his own.
- 55:13Speaker 22: PLAYS i think he tells it you looked at him and,
- 55:15Speaker 22: said you know, what you want to coach the team,
- 55:18Speaker 22: now and you turn on the hill and walked.
- 55:20Speaker 8: Away he then says that after you, meeting you And.
- 55:23Speaker 22: Ray are talking about you know what's going on the second,
- 55:25Speaker 22: half that you, said all, right, everybody here's the, Deal,
- 55:27Speaker 22: drew you're calling your own, plays and that you looked
- 55:30Speaker 22: At zoe and.
- 55:30Speaker 3: Said good.
- 55:31Speaker 1: Idea now That's zoe's. Interns that's pretty. Close here's what.
- 55:36Speaker 1: Happened but.
- 55:38Speaker 20: First of, ALL i had a little Visual prior to,
- 55:43Speaker 20: halftime we had been in a two minute offense for
- 55:47Speaker 20: six or seven, minutes SO i had seen That minnesota
- 55:51Speaker 20: was just playing one standard defense against, it AND i
- 55:56Speaker 20: didn't know.
- 55:56Speaker 1: Whether they had anything.
- 55:57Speaker 20: Else so that's really WHY i agreed to do, it
- 56:02Speaker 20: BECAUSE i knew we could hurt that one standard defense
- 56:05Speaker 20: because we'd already heard it.
- 56:06Speaker 1: Before they have right and now great moments in.
- 56:14Speaker 4: HISTORY i don't think That Matthew stafford's a sure thing right.
- 56:17Speaker 4: Now and you, KNOW i Like Matthew stafford And fred's
- 56:19Speaker 4: gonna make fun of, me BUT i love. HIM i
- 56:21Speaker 4: think if you get him, in you can find out
- 56:24Speaker 4: exactly what you have.
- 56:26Speaker 6: With With Baker.
- 56:28Speaker 4: MAYFIE i guess in the last five weeks this is
- 56:30Speaker 4: a GUY i think could really thrive in my.
- 56:32Speaker 6: Offense, oh this is a guy that he's not a.
- 56:34Speaker 2: FIT i guess if you're saying That stafford's not a sure,
- 56:36Speaker 2: thing then, okay, yeah.
- 56:38Speaker 6: BUT i, mean how can you Say stafford's a sure.
- 56:41Speaker 2: THING i didn't know the injury was that like he
- 56:44Speaker 2: was out for possibly out for twenty twenty.
- 56:46Speaker 4: Three oh, no, no, no he's not going to be out
- 56:48Speaker 4: for twenty twenty. Three he may Decide i'm not playing. Anymore, Okay,
- 56:51Speaker 4: well either, way like that a sure, Thing Like i'm
- 56:56Speaker 4: just Like i'm not saying that there's any reports that
- 56:59Speaker 4: say That Matthew stafford might not play next. Year i'm
- 57:01Speaker 4: saying the guys in his late thirties and has a spinal.
- 57:04Speaker 4: CONTUSION i think he might, say you know, WHAT i got,
- 57:06Speaker 4: Lucky i'm getting.
- 57:07Speaker 3: Out so he's not a sure.
- 57:08Speaker 2: Thing so in, mcveiy's In Nick bay's, mind he's not.

- 58:38Speaker 9: Up that definitely made they had to check it.
- 58:41Speaker 10: DOWN i Think i've learned a lot about myself over
- 58:43Speaker 10: the course of, This, like you, know its people pointing
- 58:45Speaker 10: out my style of watching games and HOW i.
- 58:48Speaker 8: Know and everybody's one hundred percent.
- 58:49Speaker 10: RIGHT i talk myself into anxiety and into LIKE i don't.
- 58:53Speaker 8: Know about this and all my fall. APART i don't.
- 58:56Speaker 8: Know that's HOW i enjoyed the, games that fatalist.
- 59:00Speaker 6: APPROACH i just.
- 59:01Speaker 5: Wonder HOW i, like you're gonna do with this one
- 59:03Speaker 5: because like it's not hard to talk yourself Into, seattle so,
- 59:06Speaker 5: like you, know this isn't like when you would talk
- 59:08Speaker 5: yourself into like The saints and.
- 59:12Speaker 20: Some.
- 59:12Speaker 10: Plays it's also THAT i, say, Like i'm generally a pretty,
- 59:16Speaker 10: upbeat positive, person AND i think if you get too
- 59:19Speaker 10: much of, that it gets super, Annoying like nobody wants
- 59:21Speaker 10: to hear, me just like you, know in a. PARADE i,
- 59:24Speaker 10: think you, KNOW i try to maintain a level playing, Field.
- 59:28Speaker 3: Mike In South Dakota's, paul you were right once, again.
- 59:31Speaker 6: Oh, no last year and could come out of.
- 59:33Speaker 2: That last, year when there was a debate about how
- 59:35Speaker 2: The patriots get back to The Super, bowl a lot
- 59:37Speaker 2: of people talked about how we need to build the
- 59:39Speaker 2: offensive line and protect the quarterback at all. Costs, paul
- 59:43Speaker 2: you always said that as long as the quarterback was,
- 59:45Speaker 2: right that the old line didn't, matter Citing Joe burrow
- 59:48Speaker 2: and The Bengal Super bowl run with.
- 59:50Speaker 3: The WORST o line in the.
- 59:51Speaker 2: League now that we're back in The Super, BOWL i
- 59:53Speaker 2: think it's fair to say it's not because of how
- 59:55Speaker 2: good OUR o line. Was in, fact some might say
- 59:58Speaker 2: we are winning in spite of OUR o. Line it's
- 1:00:00Speaker 2: not to say they've been terrible all, season but just
- 1:00:04Speaker 2: proves that teams can win in a lot of different. Ways, So,
- 1:00:06Speaker 2: paul have fun with this victory. Lap you will write.
- 1:00:09Speaker 2: Again so let me get this. Straight The patriots are
- 1:00:11Speaker 2: here because they didn't fix the. Trenches, oh they're here
- 1:00:14Speaker 2: because Of drake.
- 1:00:15Speaker 6: May in short of the, playoffs because of the DEFENSE mvp.
- 1:00:20Speaker 9: Candidate did the defensive.
- 1:00:21Speaker 5: Line but to sit here and say that the offensive
- 1:00:24Speaker 5: line didn't, Improve, NO.
- 1:00:25Speaker 6: I don't think he said.
- 1:00:26Speaker 5: That and they also have four new starters on the offensive,
- 1:00:29Speaker 5: line so it's NOT.
- 1:00:29Speaker 4: I don't think he said the offensive line didn't. Improve,
- 1:00:32Speaker 4: yeah BUT i THINK i don't think it's.
- 1:00:34Speaker 9: GREAT i think.
- 1:00:35Speaker 5: That it's marketably better than anything that they've had, recently
- 1:00:41Speaker 5: to the point where like that to say that like
- 1:00:43Speaker 5: that would be a feather in no offense in your
- 1:00:47Speaker 5: cap that it was like that's they won a different, Way,
- 1:00:50Speaker 5: LIKE i don't know about.
- 1:00:51Speaker 6: THAT i don't think they won because of the offensive.
- 1:00:53Speaker 5: Line they certainly did, not but they won the offensive
- 1:00:56Speaker 5: line was functional for the majority of the season for
- 1:00:58Speaker 5: them where they, are.
- 1:00:59Speaker 4: Which which has basically been my argument as that email just, said,
- 1:01:03Speaker 4: like you don't need to have The eagles offensive line to,
- 1:01:05Speaker 4: Win like you can just be functional like a lot
- 1:01:07Speaker 4: of other teams that, win Like Kansas.
- 1:01:09Speaker 10: City but that's the weird. Thing and like to your, Point,
- 1:01:11Speaker 10: paul is that is exactly what Happened Drake. MAY i, mean,
- 1:01:14Speaker 10: yes offensive line is, good pieces were solid around, him
- 1:01:16Speaker 10: but he played at AN mvp level and that's why
- 1:01:19Speaker 10: The patriots won a lot of. Games but you've gotten
- 1:01:20Speaker 10: in the playoffs and that hasn't been the. Case now
- 1:01:22Speaker 10: it's something. Different it's the. Defense it's it's.
- 1:01:24Speaker 3: Strange, well you know it's playoff, time so it's defense.
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: Time.
- 1:01:28Speaker 8: Right defense wins.
- 1:01:30Speaker 2: Championships, Right i've heard, Right and it travels iron AND
- 1:01:35Speaker 2: i would.
- 1:01:35Speaker 5: Just like just the way the emailer was phrasing the
- 1:01:39Speaker 5: email was like they didn't rebuild the entire offensive line
- 1:01:44Speaker 5: in one.
- 1:01:44Speaker 9: Offseason. Thing, no they. Did they.
- 1:01:47Speaker 4: DID i, Mean i'm not going to get into a
- 1:01:49Speaker 4: semantic argument as to how much better it, is but they.
- 1:01:52Speaker 2: Did they Have i'll tell you about the offensive, line the,
- 1:01:56Speaker 2: coaching AND i think that's part of.
- 1:01:59Speaker 3: It that's the key.
- 1:01:59Speaker 2: Thing when you see, breakdowns it's not because of communication
- 1:02:02Speaker 2: and guys standing there like.
- 1:02:04Speaker 6: Not revisit this in the, office not knowing who.
- 1:02:06Speaker 2: To, block which we saw a lot last. Year the
- 1:02:09Speaker 2: coaching has been much better this, year a big.
- 1:02:12Speaker 6: Time for my argument THAT i gabbled earlier. AGO i
- 1:02:17Speaker 6: can have a good one With evan And fred for,
- 1:02:18Speaker 6: THIS i.
- 1:02:19Speaker 9: Just have to stand up from you, Know i'm an offensive.
- 1:02:21Speaker 5: LINE i got a stand up for my, guys like you,
- 1:02:23Speaker 5: know they they've done a great job and you know
- 1:02:25Speaker 5: the playoffs hasn't been as good by any. Means BUT
- 1:02:28Speaker 5: i think a large reason why they are here is
- 1:02:30Speaker 5: because the offensive line hasn't.
- 1:02:32Speaker 3: Proved that's one of my favorite players right, there.
- 1:02:36Speaker 4: And because they didn't Have drake may Or Tom brady
- 1:02:39Speaker 4: playing behind, him they never did.
- 1:02:40Speaker 9: ANYTHING i think both things can be, true.
- 1:02:42Speaker 2: BUT i Love that's my. Point BUT i love My
- 1:02:45Speaker 2: hogs and you Know i'm A Will campbell.
- 1:02:47Speaker 3: Guy excuse?
- 1:02:48Speaker 8: Me is that what you call us?
- 1:02:50Speaker 4: Now SO i would just, say like in a, nutshell
- 1:02:53Speaker 4: LIKE i think what the email is trying to give
- 1:02:56Speaker 4: me props, for and maybe he overstated it is just
- 1:02:59Speaker 4: THAT i think they did improve the offensive. Line They it's,
- 1:03:04Speaker 4: inarguable AS i, said you have four new. STARTERS i
- 1:03:07Speaker 4: think all of that would be. True and if you
- 1:03:09Speaker 4: didn't Have Drake, may it wouldn't. Matter they wouldn't have
- 1:03:11Speaker 4: gone fourteen and. Three they wouldn't have been in the
- 1:03:14Speaker 4: situation that they were. IN i think that a lot
- 1:03:17Speaker 4: of people sort of insist that you need to build
- 1:03:21Speaker 4: that line and have, this you, know impenetrable. Force it
- 1:03:25Speaker 4: doesn't matter if the quarterback Like Drake may is the
- 1:03:28Speaker 4: reason why they won a lot of the games they
- 1:03:30Speaker 4: won in the regular.
- 1:03:31Speaker 6: Season now the defense is the reason why they're winning
- 1:03:34Speaker 6: in the.
- 1:03:35Speaker 4: Playoffs so if you want to say that's like defense
- 1:03:38Speaker 4: championships all that, STUFF i mean they won three games
- 1:03:41Speaker 4: in the playoffs because the defense was dominant all three.
- 1:03:44Speaker 5: Games, Yeah and my only point, WAS i think we're
- 1:03:46Speaker 5: on the same. Page it's just THAT i think you
- 1:03:49Speaker 5: need to be functional.
- 1:03:49Speaker 9: Upfront.
- 1:03:50Speaker 5: YEAH i think if you're a disaster on the offensive, line.
- 1:03:52Speaker 6: That's hard to.
- 1:03:53Speaker 9: Overcome they just sent two teams.
- 1:03:54Speaker 5: Home that are a disaster on the offensive line with
- 1:03:57Speaker 5: The chargers and The, texans, Right so that's it's hard to,
- 1:04:01Speaker 5: overcome even for the great quarterbacks unless you have like
- 1:04:04Speaker 5: A Burrow mahomes level great it's hard to.
- 1:04:08Speaker 3: Overcome, ye go To joe In. Chicago what's?
- 1:04:11Speaker 2: Up?
- 1:04:11Speaker 3: Joe, Yo, Joe, Joe joe At, joe you're In, Chicago.
- 1:04:19Speaker 2: Joe, Okay joe is. Gone let's go To danny And. Daytona, Hey, Danny, hey.

- 1:05:30Speaker 23: On twitter and, whatnot and he, said that's.
- 1:05:33Speaker 7: Ridiculous.
- 1:05:34Speaker 23: Uh and even the long time the long Time hed

- 1:05:57Speaker 23: Yeah and then the last THING i have for you.
- 1:05:59Speaker 23: GUYS i don't know if you guys saw this ON.
- 1:06:01Speaker 23: Espn they put In greeney put his top five. Recognitions,
- 1:06:06Speaker 23: paul you And fred would probably remember. This do you
- 1:06:09Speaker 23: guys remember the it? Was it was The Jimmy. Blunkett
- 1:06:14Speaker 23: he was drafted by The, patriots was terrible with The,
- 1:06:17Speaker 23: patriots went to the Forty, niners was terrible with the Forty,
- 1:06:20Speaker 23: niners goes to The raiders and win Two Super bowls with.
- 1:06:23Speaker 23: Them and then they were making that comparison with Damn,
- 1:06:28Speaker 23: donald how he flamed out in all those. Locations and
- 1:06:31Speaker 23: then the same thing with oh what's his?
- 1:06:35Speaker 2: Name that was with The, yeah do you see any
- 1:06:38Speaker 2: Similarities donald And plunkett's, CAREER.
- 1:06:40Speaker 4: I mean not, really BUT i will say that he
- 1:06:44Speaker 4: was not good and then he went To oakland and won.
- 1:06:46Speaker 4: GAMES i would Say donald has been much better the
- 1:06:48Speaker 4: last two years Than Jim plunkett ever played for The,
- 1:06:50Speaker 4: raiders LIKE i Think donald, PLAYED.
- 1:06:52Speaker 3: I mean a different.
- 1:06:54Speaker 4: Era, yeah But i'm just talking about He donald has
- 1:06:57Speaker 4: had more to do with the team winning the last
- 1:06:59Speaker 4: two years Than plunkett did In.
- 1:07:01Speaker 3: Oakland they had a lot of, Talent, yeah and they.
- 1:07:04Speaker 23: Just, yeah and they basically gave that a scenario that
- 1:07:07Speaker 23: there's two ways to do. It you don't always need you.
- 1:07:09Speaker 23: Know they gave good. Examples The patriots put together a
- 1:07:12Speaker 23: good roster and they're winning young with you, know, manity
- 1:07:15Speaker 23: the sullarcraft With Drake may and then they, said look
- 1:07:17Speaker 23: How siatle's doing. It so there's, like there's not two.
- 1:07:20Speaker 23: Ways everyone thinks that's, oh.
- 1:07:22Speaker 6: Just there's a lot of.
- 1:07:23Speaker 4: Similarities The patriots spent a ton of money in the off.
- 1:07:25Speaker 4: Season that WAS i read they.
- 1:07:28Speaker 9: Got their cornerbacks who wrote.
- 1:07:30Speaker 6: THAT i THINK i might have been another. One you boy,
- 1:07:34Speaker 6: There solac just sort of.
- 1:07:39Speaker 4: Talking about, how you, know like the whole thankstanding free
- 1:07:42Speaker 4: agent thing that everybody poo poos, Like, no like they
- 1:07:45Speaker 4: showed you spend, money you be, aggressive and you can
- 1:07:48Speaker 4: you can win doing.
- 1:07:49Speaker 6: That they over they overhuled the. Roster it's changing a
- 1:07:52Speaker 6: fifty turnover.
- 1:07:53Speaker 5: Rate that's changing a, LOT i would, say in terms
- 1:07:55Speaker 5: of free, agency especially just like improving like the floor
- 1:08:01Speaker 5: of the, roster the talent, floor because you, know you,
- 1:08:04Speaker 5: know some of these guys that they sign aren't superstar,
- 1:08:07Speaker 5: players but there's they're at least you, know above league
- 1:08:10Speaker 5: average starters or out you, know so much better than
- 1:08:13Speaker 5: the guys they're, replacing. Too and just getting that back
- 1:08:16Speaker 5: to even back to average can really help a team a.
- 1:08:20Speaker 5: Lot AND i think that's where free agency comes. In
- 1:08:23Speaker 5: but you, KNOW i think that With, darnold you, KNOW i,
- 1:08:26Speaker 5: remember you, KNOW i was living out IN la at
- 1:08:28Speaker 5: the time when he was AT usc SO i saw
- 1:08:30Speaker 5: him four or five. GAMES i saw him Against Penn
- 1:08:33Speaker 5: state in That bowl. GAME i think it's like The Rose.
- 1:08:35Speaker 5: BOWL i was at that, game AND i would have
- 1:08:39Speaker 5: sworn to the moon that he was going to be
- 1:08:42Speaker 5: a franchise quarterback based off of how he looked AT
- 1:08:45Speaker 5: usc and he goes To jets and they kind of ruined.
- 1:08:47Speaker 9: Him LIKE i called for what it was.
- 1:08:50Speaker 10: LIKE i give him a lot of credit to finally
- 1:08:52Speaker 10: break through In minnesota and then to have the courage
- 1:08:56Speaker 10: to leave there AND i, know you, know similar offenses and,
- 1:08:58Speaker 10: stuff but you, know we been to a few different.
- 1:09:01Speaker 10: Stops you feel like you get To, minnesota it feels
- 1:09:03Speaker 10: like it. WORKS i don't did they offer to bring
- 1:09:05Speaker 10: him back or was that just we KNOW jj.
- 1:09:06Speaker 8: McCarty, yeah they, did.
- 1:09:07Speaker 5: They, did but he knew that McCarthy was waiting in
- 1:09:10Speaker 5: the wings and didn't want.
- 1:09:11Speaker 10: To so IT'S i, mean it's another leap of faith
- 1:09:13Speaker 10: for him a little bit to go To seattle and
- 1:09:14Speaker 10: it's worked, out AND i know we're saving his, career Right.
- 1:09:19Speaker 5: Vin you, See Oh Kyle, Shanahan, yeah.
- 1:09:24Speaker 4: He already spent as the backup In San. Francisco, yeah
- 1:09:26Speaker 4: credits that with with sort of resurrecting his.
- 1:09:28Speaker 5: Career it's really interesting AND i, think you, know The
- 1:09:31Speaker 5: patriots are kind of a little bit of a of
- 1:09:35Speaker 5: a foil to, this but you, Know Sam darnold's been
- 1:09:37Speaker 5: in A West coast offense since the forty nine, ers
- 1:09:39Speaker 5: so he goes From Kyle shanahan to koc To Clint,
- 1:09:42Speaker 5: kubiak so he's been in the same. System on the
- 1:09:45Speaker 5: other side of the, ball With seattle's, defense Like mike,
- 1:09:47Speaker 5: McDonald Jesse, minter like those guys are now like the
- 1:09:51Speaker 5: bells of the ball in terms of how to scheme,
- 1:09:53Speaker 5: defense and so everybody's trying to replicate the schemes That
- 1:09:56Speaker 5: seattle is running on both sides of the, ball The
- 1:09:59Speaker 5: West coast offense scheme and then the way that they play.
- 1:10:02Speaker 5: Defense The patriots are kind of the, Opposite like The
- 1:10:04Speaker 5: patriots are running still THE ep system With josh.
- 1:10:07Speaker 9: McDaniels i don't even know what to call what they
- 1:10:09Speaker 9: do on.
- 1:10:09Speaker 5: Defense it's like kind of a combination Of Bill belichick's
- 1:10:13Speaker 5: you know defense with what he, learned you, know what
- 1:10:17Speaker 5: vrabel has learned in other. Stops it's kind of like
- 1:10:19Speaker 5: a you, know melting pot of like different. Concepts so it's,
- 1:10:24Speaker 5: interesting Like seattle is like the way that everybody wants
- 1:10:27Speaker 5: to like play, now like the way they structure.
- 1:10:30Speaker 9: Everything It's Cody.
- 1:10:32Speaker 10: ALEXANDER i Just i'll be interested one of these real
- 1:10:35Speaker 10: in the, weeds nerdy defensive film types if they had
- 1:10:38Speaker 10: a write up of what are the roots of this?
- 1:10:40Speaker 8: Defense.
- 1:10:41Speaker 5: YEAH i was just talking To cody yesterday AND i asked, him,
- 1:10:44Speaker 5: like you, know point me in the direction of some
- 1:10:47Speaker 5: of the things you've written or said About mike, McDonald teach.
- 1:10:50Speaker 5: Me and so he, did AND i can share those.
- 1:10:54Speaker 5: Links but his coach a is His twitter. Handle he's
- 1:10:59Speaker 5: really really well first and defensive football and terminology and
- 1:11:03Speaker 5: all that kind of. Stuff AND i think one of
- 1:11:04Speaker 5: the things THAT i was reading in his that really
- 1:11:06Speaker 5: stood out was they don't blitz a, lot but when they,
- 1:11:09Speaker 5: do it's really. Good, Yeah seattle doesn't have a high blitz,
- 1:11:14Speaker 5: rate but when they do, blitz they are extremely effective at.
- 1:11:18Speaker 10: IT i saw one up AND i saw like they
- 1:11:20Speaker 10: plits both. Corners, yeah it blits both corners At, yeah it's.
- 1:11:24Speaker 9: Called like chucky or something like. That they call it crazy. Clown,
- 1:11:28Speaker 9: yeah you, Know.
- 1:11:29Speaker 3: Rick And louisville question For evan or anyone can ask it.
- 1:11:33Speaker 3: Answer i've heard.
- 1:11:34Speaker 2: More than one guru comment That Sam darnold's numbers drop
- 1:11:37Speaker 2: a ton when being pressured more than, most like towards
- 1:11:40Speaker 2: the bottom of the.
- 1:11:41Speaker 3: League is this?
- 1:11:42Speaker 5: True Uh, NO i, mean like they drop like every quarterback,
- 1:11:48Speaker 5: does and Like I'M i definitely think that that's that's
- 1:11:52Speaker 5: what you gotta could do against any quarterback is you
- 1:11:54Speaker 5: can't let ANY nfl quarterbacks sit in clean pockets all.
- 1:11:57Speaker 5: Day but you, know he's more like middle of THE
- 1:12:00Speaker 5: i would say in terms of like you, know whether
- 1:12:03Speaker 5: you want to go passer RATING epa against, pressure which
- 1:12:06Speaker 5: you know is where you this time of, year you're
- 1:12:08Speaker 5: playing in the Super. Bowl it's not going to be Cam,
- 1:12:11Speaker 5: ward who's thirty second in the league in passer rating under.
- 1:12:13Speaker 5: Pressure it's going to, be, oh, well he's only sixteenth
- 1:12:16Speaker 5: in passer rating under, pressure but when he's, clean he's.
- 1:12:18Speaker 5: Second you, Know so those are the splits that you look.
- 1:12:21Speaker 5: At you, know he does turn the ball over that
- 1:12:25Speaker 5: that hasn't been as much of a problem in the
- 1:12:26Speaker 5: postseason as.
- 1:12:27Speaker 6: The regular clean in the.
- 1:12:28Speaker 5: Postseason but, yeah, yeah and you, know but they've played
- 1:12:31Speaker 5: maybe not this last game as, much but you, know
- 1:12:33Speaker 5: the divisional round game was on their. Term so like
- 1:12:35Speaker 5: he's you, know when you play a blowout like, that
- 1:12:37Speaker 5: you're not necessarily going to turn it.
- 1:12:39Speaker 4: Down i'll say THAT i thought The rams GOT i
- 1:12:41Speaker 4: don't know what the numbers. WERE i didn't look in
- 1:12:43Speaker 4: the pressure, rate BUT i thought there were a number
- 1:12:45Speaker 4: of plays that he made in The rams game that
- 1:12:47Speaker 4: he was under. Pressure he was able, to you, know
- 1:12:49Speaker 4: get off script and make. Plays now he is you,
- 1:12:52Speaker 4: Know evan just talked about him coming out OF. Usc
- 1:12:55Speaker 4: he could do it all AT. Us see he's he
- 1:12:57Speaker 4: was a big athletic quarterback in. College now you mentioned
- 1:13:02Speaker 4: That Penn state. GAME i think that was the end
- 1:13:04Speaker 4: of his junior. Whatever the second to last, year he
- 1:13:06Speaker 4: had another whole year that he played.
- 1:13:08Speaker 9: Again that was one of the most fun that he
- 1:13:09Speaker 9: didn't play as.
- 1:13:10Speaker 6: Well yeah that last.
- 1:13:11Speaker 5: Year, yeah they lost SOME i Think juju went to THE.
- 1:13:13Speaker 5: Nfl they lost some guys to THE nfl on. Offense
- 1:13:16Speaker 5: but Adri jackson was, like you, know a gadget player
- 1:13:20Speaker 5: cornerback for. Them and that Was Sam darneld Versus Saquon
- 1:13:24Speaker 5: Barkley's Penn.
- 1:13:24Speaker 9: State that was a great game at The Rose. Bowl
- 1:13:27Speaker 9: one of the best football Games i've ever been. To
- 1:13:29Speaker 9: it was.
- 1:13:29Speaker 6: Awesome wasn't that like a really high scoring?
- 1:13:31Speaker 5: GAME yea And darnald just lit Up Penn state's defense
- 1:13:34Speaker 5: just right down the, Field.
- 1:13:36Speaker 3: Steven And ireland right.
- 1:13:38Speaker 2: Sin the reason everyone hates The patriots Hates we're back
- 1:13:43Speaker 2: in The Super, bowl back being the evil empire in
- 1:13:46Speaker 2: all of that rubbish is because Of. Bill it's so
- 1:13:49Speaker 2: clear everything we achieved goes back to what he, built
- 1:13:51Speaker 2: including Drafting brady and sticking with. HIM i love all
- 1:13:54Speaker 2: our players and, coaches AND i don't like to say
- 1:13:57Speaker 2: who gets what credit because this is the ultimate team.
- 1:13:59Speaker 2: Sport but the root cause analysis of our success Is
- 1:14:02Speaker 2: Robert kraft Giving bill the keys to build something. Special
- 1:14:06Speaker 2: the players won all our, games And brady is the
- 1:14:08Speaker 2: biggest reason for. That but good players cannot overcome bad.
- 1:14:11Speaker 2: Coaching and for twenty, years our good players were developed
- 1:14:14Speaker 2: into better, players and we're able to go out and
- 1:14:16Speaker 2: become Multiple Super bowl champions because they had the best
- 1:14:19Speaker 2: coaching you will ever. See, finally what bugs me the
- 1:14:23Speaker 2: most is we are now going into our First Super
- 1:14:25Speaker 2: bowl in a while where the focus isn't on well
- 1:14:30Speaker 2: are the coaching quarterback?
- 1:14:31Speaker 3: Speaking it should be a week to enjoy and be.
- 1:14:34Speaker 2: Optimistic it's now ruined AND i feel for all the,
- 1:14:37Speaker 2: fans current, players and.
- 1:14:39Speaker 3: STAFF i don't think that's. TRUE i don't think it's
- 1:14:40Speaker 3: ruined ruined.
- 1:14:42Speaker 2: YA i, HOPE i Hope Robert kraft addresses this matter
- 1:14:46Speaker 2: also as it is an indictment of his team and
- 1:14:49Speaker 2: his success a win next. WEEK i hope he comes
- 1:14:51Speaker 2: out saying f you to the voters and pushes to
- 1:14:54Speaker 2: Induct bill to Our hall Of fame so we can
- 1:14:57Speaker 2: get the, love, respect and deserving praise from the fans worship.
- 1:15:00Speaker 3: Him Bill belichick is a patriot for. Life, YEAH i,
- 1:15:05Speaker 3: THINK i, THINK i don't think.
- 1:15:08Speaker 5: Anything to get this is today's story by the time
- 1:15:12Speaker 5: we get To Santa clara next.
- 1:15:14Speaker 9: WEEK i totally. Agree BUT i was thinking about this
- 1:15:17Speaker 9: last night with Mister. Kraft.
- 1:15:18Speaker 5: Uh you, know if he doesn't get into, uh he's
- 1:15:21Speaker 5: now made The Super bowl with three different head coaches
- 1:15:24Speaker 5: and three different, quarterbacks you, know parcels and Bloodsoe Brady
- 1:15:27Speaker 5: belichick and Now Verbele May and LIKE i Don't i'm
- 1:15:30Speaker 5: not a football, historian BUT i can't imagine that that's
- 1:15:32Speaker 5: happened very, often that he's basically rebuilt it three separate,
- 1:15:36Speaker 5: times you, know with three different architects that you know
- 1:15:39Speaker 5: in terms of head.
- 1:15:40Speaker 10: COACH i, mean and now they've gone to a Super
- 1:15:41Speaker 10: bowl in every decade since the, eighties which is kind
- 1:15:44Speaker 10: of crazy to think.
- 1:15:44Speaker 8: About it that way. TOO i, was you, know hearing.
- 1:15:47Speaker 10: THAT i was thinking a little bit back to That
- 1:15:49Speaker 10: bill's press conference last week that was a kind of
- 1:15:51Speaker 10: a train. Wreck and you realize how hard it is
- 1:15:54Speaker 10: for these kind of guys to work together for so,
- 1:15:58Speaker 10: long you, know and and just how difficult it is
- 1:16:01Speaker 10: to manage those. Relationships and you, know you could see
- 1:16:05Speaker 10: the tension Between bill And robert like in THE o nine,
- 1:16:08Speaker 10: documentary and you, KNOW i look.
- 1:16:10Speaker 8: At robert being able to kind of put up With.
- 1:16:13Speaker 10: Bill you saw the owner with you, know the guy
- 1:16:15Speaker 10: that the owner of The bills is, like you, know
- 1:16:17Speaker 10: someone's got to take the fall. Here this isn't going,
- 1:16:19Speaker 10: right you. Know and how easy would it have, been you,
- 1:16:21Speaker 10: KNOW i, Mean robert didn't come to that point because
- 1:16:24Speaker 10: he was always able to have a successful season pretty, much, Right,
- 1:16:28Speaker 10: like was there ever a point where there was any
- 1:16:30Speaker 10: doubt that you would want to Bring Bill belichick?
- 1:16:32Speaker 6: BACK i don't think.
- 1:16:33Speaker 10: So but it is hard to keep those kind of
- 1:16:35Speaker 10: relationships in a high profile industry like.
- 1:16:38Speaker 8: This for twenty. Years twenty, YEARS i didn't think of each.
- 1:16:41Speaker 8: Other everybody.
- 1:16:42Speaker 5: DOES i just feel like you kind of hear a
- 1:16:44Speaker 5: lot about How bill And brady are obviously tied together
- 1:16:47Speaker 5: and what Did bill do? Without brady is often hoiled against. Him,
- 1:16:51Speaker 5: well Mister kraft's done him with three different people, now,
- 1:16:53Speaker 5: Right like you know you can't like, that ISN'T i
- 1:16:56Speaker 5: know he's only won his Six Super bowls With Bill
- 1:16:59Speaker 5: Belichick Tom, brady but if they win in ten, days
- 1:17:02Speaker 5: and that's not even true. Anymore so at some point it's,
- 1:17:05Speaker 5: like how many more times does he have to do?
- 1:17:07Speaker 5: It like this is eleventh Super bowl that he's gotten
- 1:17:10Speaker 5: his franchise.
- 1:17:11Speaker 6: To.
- 1:17:11Speaker 3: Uh back to the, phone s eight five to, five
- 1:17:14Speaker 3: pass five. Hundred melvin's In. Utah what's, Up?

- 1:18:01Speaker 21: Upset and then My Super bowl prediction way too, early

- 1:18:09Speaker 2: Guys know that Wins, okay thirty one, SEVENTEEN i love.
- 1:18:16Speaker 2: It i'm you know WHAT i know in The Andy
- 1:18:20Speaker 2: hart school of, entertainment he's looking for a close game and.
- 1:18:24Speaker 2: EVERYTHING i would be just as entertained with an Easy patriots. Win,
- 1:18:28Speaker 2: PLEASE i would love. That CAN i just relax and
- 1:18:32Speaker 2: enjoy the.
- 1:18:32Speaker 10: Game and not have to even the Greatest patriots teams
- 1:18:35Speaker 10: in history that you've, watched the Worst patriots seem in
- 1:18:40Speaker 10: The Super bowl are the? Best even that they are
- 1:18:41Speaker 10: always it's always.
- 1:18:44Speaker 16: You.
- 1:18:44Speaker 9: Didn't, YEAH i could be.
- 1:18:45Speaker 5: Wrong but very wrong about, this BUT i don't if
- 1:18:49Speaker 5: it's going to be a blow AND i don't see
- 1:18:50Speaker 5: it going to blow out towards the pageot.
- 1:18:54Speaker 9: If it's going to be a, BLOWOUT i don't THINK
- 1:18:56Speaker 9: i would thinking.
- 1:18:57Speaker 2: The same thing the other, day and THEN i was, thinking,
- 1:18:59Speaker 2: well you, know another really good team in the, league The.
- 1:19:02Speaker 2: Bills we were up twenty, one twenty four to, three
- 1:19:07Speaker 2: and that could have been a blowout if we had
- 1:19:10Speaker 2: just did what we needed to do in the second.
- 1:19:12Speaker 2: Half AND i think that they're, well they're probably not
- 1:19:16Speaker 2: as good as The, seahawks but in terms, OFFENSIVELY i
- 1:19:18Speaker 2: think they have just as much.
- 1:19:19Speaker 9: POWER i think they're better Than seattle.
- 1:19:21Speaker 2: Offensively, Right so like if we did it against, them
- 1:19:24Speaker 2: maybe we could do that against The, seahawks and at
- 1:19:26Speaker 2: this time we take care of business in the second.
- 1:19:29Speaker 5: Half it does help, that you, KNOW i think That
- 1:19:31Speaker 5: seattle team playing at home is a totally different animal The. Twelves,
- 1:19:36Speaker 5: yeah that stadium is you want to talk about home field,
- 1:19:39Speaker 5: advantages that that is a legit home field, advantage and you,
- 1:19:42Speaker 5: know it's closer To seattle certainly than it is To.
- 1:19:45Speaker 3: Boston they're going to have an. ADVANTAGE i think.
- 1:19:47Speaker 5: They're gonna have an, advantage but it's not going to
- 1:19:49Speaker 5: be like playing it in front of the.
- 1:19:50Speaker 9: Twelves and, yeah.
- 1:19:51Speaker 4: CAN i just ask, you, guys if you had to,
- 1:19:54Speaker 4: Say bills against The seahawks on a neutral, field who
- 1:19:57Speaker 4: do you think Wins.
- 1:19:59Speaker 3: Seahawks it's a good. GAME i think it's a.
- 1:20:03Speaker 6: BLOWOUT i Think seattle would kill. HIM i Think seattle
- 1:20:08Speaker 6: would kill. HIM i think they would do enough defensively
- 1:20:10Speaker 6: to slow Down James.
- 1:20:11Speaker 8: Cook and, yeah.
- 1:20:13Speaker 6: You pick your wide receiver you want to try to
- 1:20:15Speaker 6: try to throw the ball.
- 1:20:16Speaker 8: To and that's that's one of the silver.
- 1:20:18Speaker 6: Lines you don't run on.
- 1:20:19Speaker 8: Him, YEAH i mean it's not just Hoping donald turns
- 1:20:22Speaker 8: into a.
- 1:20:23Speaker 10: Pumpkin it's just That donald isn't one of those guys
- 1:20:25Speaker 10: that you feel like you got to be eight. Seconds
- 1:20:28Speaker 10: he's a fish and he's still GONNA i, mean you,
- 1:20:30Speaker 10: know it's maybe he maybe he plays that.
- 1:20:32Speaker 4: That to be would be the only pan victory for
- 1:20:34Speaker 4: The bills is If donald had one of those games
- 1:20:37Speaker 4: and he did. IT i mean he had the First rams.
- 1:20:41Speaker 4: Game he threw four, picks so he can do. It
- 1:20:43Speaker 4: he's STILL i, mean it's that's still in him a little.
- 1:20:45Speaker 4: Bit but but even just THE i don't want to
- 1:20:47Speaker 4: have to rely on that of you, know.
- 1:20:49Speaker 10: Getting down to the end of the game and feeling
- 1:20:51Speaker 10: like you have a, lead and not to SAY i
- 1:20:52Speaker 10: would be, relaxed because you all know.
- 1:20:54Speaker 8: Me Now i'm gonna be littered from anxiety during the.
- 1:20:57Speaker 8: Game but you, know it's just not have that feeling
- 1:20:59Speaker 8: With Josh allen where it's like until the clock hits.
- 1:21:01Speaker 6: Zero it would all depends on what the score.
- 1:21:03Speaker 4: Was if it was like a game Like, SUNDAY i
- 1:21:05Speaker 4: wouldn't think That Sam donalds all of a, Sudden you're
- 1:21:07Speaker 4: gonna put a drive together now and win fourteen to.
- 1:21:09Speaker 4: Ten but you, know if it's a game like, That
- 1:21:12Speaker 4: bill's game was thirty five thirty.
- 1:21:13Speaker 6: One, Yeah i'll take the offense and then the other.
- 1:21:16Speaker 8: Side how do they deal with WITH? Jsn you, know
- 1:21:18Speaker 8: and and Is gonzo get on? Him and you, Know
- 1:21:20Speaker 8: gonzo is just so.
- 1:21:21Speaker 10: Athletic And i've been so impressed WITH jsn this year
- 1:21:23Speaker 10: of how athletic he.
- 1:21:24Speaker 8: Is like that's a really fun matchup to.
- 1:21:26Speaker 10: Watch and you, know we said it all season, Long we're,
- 1:21:29Speaker 10: like wait till we get to the, playoffs then you're
- 1:21:30Speaker 10: gonna be glad you Got Christian. Gonzalez i'm not saying
- 1:21:33Speaker 10: that he's going to follow.
- 1:21:35Speaker 6: The, playoffs but he's been.
- 1:21:36Speaker 8: Good and when you go.
- 1:21:37Speaker 3: To one of their, availabilities remember.
- 1:21:41Speaker 6: HIM i Remember. Galule It's jeff, Right Jeff Jef.
- 1:21:46Speaker 5: HARDING i worry about how much they MOVE jsn. Around,
- 1:21:51Speaker 5: YEAH i.
- 1:21:51Speaker 6: Don't and you don't think they'll travel.
- 1:21:53Speaker 3: THEM i.
- 1:21:53Speaker 9: Don't it's it's.
- 1:21:54Speaker 5: Hard it's, hard and, like you know what they'll do
- 1:21:56Speaker 5: a lot is you, know like in the game on
- 1:21:59Speaker 5: in THE Nfc champions of, game they had him run
- 1:22:00Speaker 5: around out of the, backfield and it's, like, okay so
- 1:22:04Speaker 5: what do you. Do you're gonna Put gonzo in the
- 1:22:06Speaker 5: box and have him cover him out of the, backfield
- 1:22:08Speaker 5: out of the, box you, know and then you kind
- 1:22:11Speaker 5: of get into the whole thing that we have talked
- 1:22:13Speaker 5: about With Zach korr a couple of times of, well
- 1:22:16Speaker 5: if you're shadowing or you're, traveling now you're tipping. Coverage
- 1:22:19Speaker 5: so now they know it's man to man because you're
- 1:22:22Speaker 5: not going to Put gonzales in the thought or in
- 1:22:24Speaker 5: the box and then fall into his Own it just
- 1:22:26Speaker 5: doesn't make a lot of. Sense so like it then
- 1:22:30Speaker 5: you kind of lose your element of disguise a little.
- 1:22:33Speaker 5: Bit and so they do a really nice job With
- 1:22:35Speaker 5: jaysn of kind of undressing coverage by moving him around
- 1:22:38Speaker 5: and putting him in different, spots and so now you
- 1:22:41Speaker 5: kind of have to dictate, coverage and then he gets
- 1:22:43Speaker 5: matched up on a linebacker and it's.
- 1:22:44Speaker 10: Hard to do the Old bill thing of double the,
- 1:22:47Speaker 10: one put your number one corner on the.
- 1:22:50Speaker 8: TWO i, mean some of.
- 1:22:51Speaker 5: THAT i think it's A i think it's hard the
- 1:22:53Speaker 5: way they play offense to truly double a player out
- 1:22:56Speaker 5: of the game because of the they, were the way
- 1:23:00Speaker 5: that they line him, up the way that they use condensed.
- 1:23:02Speaker 5: Formations you, know it's just not it's not an offense
- 1:23:06Speaker 5: that's conducive to like you know The colts where it
- 1:23:09Speaker 5: was Like Marvin harrison's going to be over, here, right
- 1:23:11Speaker 5: and you know every play he's going to be over
- 1:23:13Speaker 5: here like this. Time and you, know so now if
- 1:23:15Speaker 5: you have a bracket ON, jsn, well now if he
- 1:23:18Speaker 5: motions or he, shifts now you have to communicate, like,
- 1:23:21Speaker 5: okay are we like how are we doing it?
- 1:23:23Speaker 3: Now?
- 1:23:23Speaker 9: Right, like, well who's on him? Now you, know and
- 1:23:26Speaker 9: and it starts to get.
- 1:23:27Speaker 5: Complicated SO i think that's the biggest problem with him
- 1:23:30Speaker 5: is that he's not a traditional OUTSIDE x. Receiver he
- 1:23:34Speaker 5: is a true chess, piece like he could literally Run
- 1:23:38Speaker 5: hero out from.
- 1:23:38Speaker 4: Anywhere SO i know it's a whole different coaching staff,
- 1:23:42Speaker 4: obviously but when you're the way you're talking about how
- 1:23:45Speaker 4: well they do in moving him, Around i'm thinking of
- 1:23:48Speaker 4: The rams game In Gillette stadium last.
- 1:23:51Speaker 9: Year, similarly it's exactly the.
- 1:23:52Speaker 4: Same when you, know you're, like all they got is
- 1:23:55Speaker 4: Like nicoua and like why can't they cover? Him and
- 1:23:58Speaker 4: Like Cooper cup was kind of, uh you, know kind of. Washed,
- 1:24:02Speaker 4: yeah like how are they getting these guys wide? Open Where's?
- 1:24:05Speaker 4: Gonzo why Is gonzo not?
- 1:24:06Speaker 6: On you?
- 1:24:07Speaker 4: Know and that's What i'm kind of thinking. Of they
- 1:24:09Speaker 4: just do a good job of scheming it up to
- 1:24:11Speaker 4: make sure that you can't do.
- 1:24:12Speaker 5: That it's exactly the same. THING i think that him
- 1:24:15Speaker 5: And nikula played close to identical roles and it's a similar,
- 1:24:19Speaker 5: offense and you know the way that they move those guys,
- 1:24:22Speaker 5: around and you know.
- 1:24:23Speaker 9: They Don't these aren't.
- 1:24:25Speaker 5: You, know teams that really play a lot of stagnant
- 1:24:28Speaker 5: formations where you just are going to sit in the
- 1:24:30Speaker 5: same formation and know exactly what you're gonna get. It
- 1:24:33Speaker 5: that's the hardest part about their. OFFENSE i don't think
- 1:24:35Speaker 5: their offense is overwhelmingly. TALENTED i don't. KNOW i think
- 1:24:39Speaker 5: It's nikula OR, Jsn Kenneth.
- 1:24:42Speaker 9: Walker that's how good is A J?
- 1:24:46Speaker 6: Barner really good?
- 1:24:47Speaker 5: BLOCKER i Mean i'm not like worried about him like
- 1:24:50Speaker 5: having a big passing, game but he's a good. Blocker Elijah,
- 1:24:53Speaker 5: royo their, rookie is more of like a pass catching tight,
- 1:24:57Speaker 5: end but he doesn't play very.
- 1:24:58Speaker 9: Much it's really sober So.
- 1:25:00Speaker 2: Barner i'm just curious going down there wide receiver or
- 1:25:04Speaker 2: past catching. Roster jsen has probably the most, Volume but
- 1:25:09Speaker 2: what what does it look?
- 1:25:09Speaker 6: Like do we Know Cooper?
- 1:25:10Speaker 4: CUP i think, YEAH i thought in terms of, volume Like,
- 1:25:14Speaker 4: BARNER i thought was the next Leading you might have
- 1:25:17Speaker 4: that in front of, You, PAUL i.
- 1:25:18Speaker 6: DO i can look it up for.
- 1:25:19Speaker 4: You you don't have to print for me.
- 1:25:22Speaker 6: ANYMORE i found that.
- 1:25:23Speaker 4: Out, Yeah barner is the second leading receiver in terms
- 1:25:26Speaker 4: of volume fifty two Catches cup with forty, seven and
- 1:25:30Speaker 4: then there's a huge.
- 1:25:31Speaker 6: Job yeah you know that's not.
- 1:25:35Speaker 5: A, lie, Right that's What i'm trying to, say is
- 1:25:37Speaker 5: like it's not a Very, uh it's a diverse scheme
- 1:25:41Speaker 5: and like they kind of hit you in a bunch
- 1:25:42Speaker 5: of different, ways but it's not a very deep roster
- 1:25:45Speaker 5: in terms of skill player.
- 1:25:47Speaker 6: Talent The patriots are pretty pretty much the.
- 1:25:50Speaker 2: Same, well we all say think that The patriots need
- 1:25:52Speaker 2: to upgrade their wide.
- 1:25:53Speaker 4: Receiver, Right, yeah and The seahawks absolutely don's. Right it's
- 1:25:59Speaker 4: one great play and then kind of a lot of.
- 1:26:02Speaker 5: Afterthoughts, YEAH i Mean cup is, like you, KNOW i
- 1:26:05Speaker 5: have no issues like Whatever cup does Against Carlton, davis
- 1:26:08Speaker 5: he does, like you, know Like i'm okay with living
- 1:26:11Speaker 5: with with those. YARDS i got to stop the. Run,
- 1:26:14Speaker 5: yeah and you got to take them out to play.
- 1:26:16Speaker 10: Action but would you say it's fair then to say
- 1:26:19Speaker 10: you can't really just Take jason out of the game
- 1:26:22Speaker 10: make them beat.
- 1:26:22Speaker 8: Us with somebody.
- 1:26:23Speaker 10: Else it seems really hard to execute that with the
- 1:26:26Speaker 10: way that they move him.
- 1:26:27Speaker 5: Around and, YEAH i think, so AND i think we'll
- 1:26:30Speaker 5: hear a lot about that and over the next ten
- 1:26:32Speaker 5: days as. Well if you just Take, jason, okay, well
- 1:26:35Speaker 5: if anybody could just Take, jason.
- 1:26:36Speaker 6: My guesses every, TEAM i mean they went fourteen and.
- 1:26:38Speaker 6: Three my guesses every team in The league tried to
- 1:26:41Speaker 6: do that and he had one hundred and nineteen.
- 1:26:42Speaker 9: Catches, yeah, YEAH i mean there was.
- 1:26:44Speaker 5: One you, know the same thing With, Puka like you,
- 1:26:46Speaker 5: know you watch The rams tape and you're, like how's
- 1:26:49Speaker 5: he opened so wide open all the? Time, Yeah and
- 1:26:51Speaker 5: you know it's just good. Offense it's good.
- 1:26:53Speaker 3: Scheme, Yep.
- 1:26:55Speaker 2: Nick And ohio were being disrespected And i'm tired of.
- 1:26:58Speaker 2: It have they've been watching our? Defense do we not
- 1:27:02Speaker 2: have two elite tight ends about? That do we not
- 1:27:06Speaker 2: have massive, meccollins one thousand yard Motivated Stefan. Diggs i'm
- 1:27:11Speaker 2: frustrated with the, media and this happens Every patriots Super.
- 1:27:14Speaker 2: Bowl let them talk because if there is one franchise
- 1:27:17Speaker 2: fueled by denial from the, haters it's The New England Patriots.
- 1:27:20Speaker 3: Warriors we all we.
- 1:27:22Speaker 2: Got we all we need in ps big Super bowl
- 1:27:24Speaker 2: party at local posts in The cincinnati it's a.
- 1:27:26Speaker 3: Bar we're also fueled By duncan there you.
- 1:27:30Speaker 4: GO i would just question for those of you in,
- 1:27:33Speaker 4: there what was the Last Super bowl The patriots appeared
- 1:27:36Speaker 4: in that they were not expected to?
- 1:27:40Speaker 6: Win thank, you no further.
- 1:27:42Speaker 3: Questions that's all, Right, Paul it works for, us but.
- 1:27:46Speaker 6: Like this happens Every Super bowl to disrespect like.
- 1:27:50Speaker 3: Maybe like well, no and they do.
- 1:27:51Speaker 5: Disrespect maybe in fourteen because The legion Of boom had
- 1:27:54Speaker 5: so much, respect there was people picking The seattle but.
- 1:27:57Speaker 4: Like i'm not telling you, That i'm not telling you
- 1:28:00Speaker 4: The Super bowl a lot of. PEOPLE i actually heard
- 1:28:02Speaker 4: someone before The Eagle Super bowl, say if you matched
- 1:28:06Speaker 4: up player for, player you would probably take twenty one
- 1:28:09Speaker 4: of The eagle starters over The. Patriots but The Brady
- 1:28:13Speaker 4: foles matchup is leading me to pick The. Patriots that's
- 1:28:16Speaker 4: what a lot that. Was it was one, guy but
- 1:28:19Speaker 4: there's a lot of people that Thought philadelphia could win that.
- 1:28:21Speaker 4: Game there's a lot of people that Thought seattle.
- 1:28:24Speaker 6: Could win that.
- 1:28:24Speaker 4: Game Last, yeah not a lot of people thought The
- 1:28:27Speaker 4: rams are going to win that game Without, cooper cup
- 1:28:29Speaker 4: And gurley and the guys they were. Missing and nobody
- 1:28:33Speaker 4: thought The. Falcons nobody thought The falcons were beating The.
- 1:28:37Speaker 4: Patriots nobody thought The giants were beating The patriots in either,
- 1:28:40Speaker 4: game even though the even though The patriots the Second
- 1:28:43Speaker 4: Patriots giants, GAME i think The giants may have been,
- 1:28:47Speaker 4: favored but no one thought The patriots are going to
- 1:28:50Speaker 4: lose that game BECAUSE i thought it was going to
- 1:28:51Speaker 4: be all revenge for the last, time so like the
- 1:28:54Speaker 4: whole disrespect when really.
- 1:28:55Speaker 10: SAD i would have bet my life on that game
- 1:28:59Speaker 10: that they were gotten The giants the second, Time.
- 1:29:01Speaker 4: Carolina, please people didn't even Think carolina should have boably
- 1:29:04Speaker 4: showing up to that game.
- 1:29:06Speaker 6: Was one of those and that was a great, game great.

- 1:33:39Speaker 1: Up?
- 1:33:39Speaker 18: Chat, hey, guys how are you? DOING i was going
- 1:33:46Speaker 18: to ask you about, WELL i want to make one,
- 1:33:49Speaker 18: statement SO i think there's gotta be one playoff game
- 1:33:53Speaker 18: where we see the regular season offense, play And i'm
- 1:33:59Speaker 18: curious because of how well the team has been managed
- 1:34:06Speaker 18: for the. Playoffs If, paul do you feel that your
- 1:34:11Speaker 18: credit To Drake may throughout the regular season because of
- 1:34:15Speaker 18: his performance being so?
- 1:34:17Speaker 15: Great are you.
- 1:34:18Speaker 23: Kind of changing your feeling about that now that we're in.
- 1:34:21Speaker 18: The Super bowl with his poor performance?
- 1:34:25Speaker 6: Potentially, YEAH i actually talked about this a little bit.
- 1:34:28Speaker 6: YESTERDAY i would feel better.
- 1:34:30Speaker 4: About the overall team itself in that they've been able
- 1:34:34Speaker 4: to find different ways to.
- 1:34:35Speaker 6: WIN i. DON'T i think it's a very fine.
- 1:34:40Speaker 4: LINE i, think LIKE i, SAID i THINK i mentioned
- 1:34:42Speaker 4: on the postgame show When mike AND i you could
- 1:34:45Speaker 4: be having very different conversations if not for a couple
- 1:34:48Speaker 4: of very fortunate things that have. Happened AND i know
- 1:34:53Speaker 4: people don't want to hear, it so it's probably not
- 1:34:55Speaker 4: the time it's been the ot, like you, know, Like i'm,
- 1:34:59Speaker 4: sorry if plays you're not sitting there, saying, oh maybe
- 1:35:02Speaker 4: it wasn't all About Drake. May, no it probably would
- 1:35:05Speaker 4: have all been About Drake may because you probably would
- 1:35:07Speaker 4: have lost the game if you only scored ten points in.
- 1:35:09Speaker 4: It you, know, Again i'm not saying the game unfolds
- 1:35:12Speaker 4: the same. Way i'm just, saying if that game unfolds
- 1:35:15Speaker 4: And drake in Bow nick's, Plays denver probably scores more
- 1:35:18Speaker 4: than seven, points and then we're not necessarily, saying you,
- 1:35:22Speaker 4: know the defense was, great you, know but like they
- 1:35:25Speaker 4: might have scored fourteen points and you might have. Lost
- 1:35:27Speaker 4: the defense was no less great if that had. Happened you,
- 1:35:30Speaker 4: know If Sean payton kicks a couple of field, goals
- 1:35:33Speaker 4: we're having a different. Conversation the defense was, phenomenal AND
- 1:35:37Speaker 4: i do think that that's a positive sign for the
- 1:35:39Speaker 4: team that it wasn't Just Drake may carrying them in
- 1:35:42Speaker 4: the three playoff. Wins that's a positive for the for the,
- 1:35:45Speaker 4: defense for the team. Itself it speaks better for the entire.
- 1:35:49Speaker 4: OPERATION i do agree.
- 1:35:51Speaker 9: With with check and more complete team than we thought.
- 1:35:53Speaker 4: They, are AND i did say that. YESTERDAY i think
- 1:35:56Speaker 4: that's probably the best thing that went. ON i don't
- 1:35:58Speaker 4: know about the deep thing.
- 1:35:59Speaker 14: You say a.
- 1:36:00Speaker 6: LOT i don't necessarily agree with.
- 1:36:01Speaker 8: That but, well, yeah, guys that did okay when they
- 1:36:04Speaker 8: got in. There that's. ALL i just don't think you
- 1:36:07Speaker 8: can underestimate the weather.
- 1:36:09Speaker 3: Either, oh the weather had a big part in.
- 1:36:11Speaker 14: It.
- 1:36:11Speaker 6: Yeah yeah for the other team.
- 1:36:12Speaker 17: Too no blowing in your, eyes there's nothing you can.
- 1:36:15Speaker 6: Do, Yeah, no SHOULD i not credit the defense, then
- 1:36:22Speaker 6: well that's WHAT i thought they.
- 1:36:24Speaker 17: Did they did.
- 1:36:25Speaker 18: It they did absolutely the maximum they could possibly do
- 1:36:28Speaker 18: under the.
- 1:36:29Speaker 15: CIRCUMSTANCES i.
- 1:36:30Speaker 4: GUESS i think the defense has been phenomenal in all three.
- 1:36:32Speaker 4: Games did the weather help, them of course it, Did
- 1:36:35Speaker 4: BUT i think the defense played really well in all three.
- 1:36:37Speaker 6: Games.
- 1:36:39Speaker 3: YEAH i mean they had.
- 1:36:41Speaker 5: To, win whether it was because whether impacted or, not
- 1:36:43Speaker 5: they had to win a defensive, game and absolutely three.
- 1:36:46Speaker 10: Times would you say these three playoff games have altered
- 1:36:49Speaker 10: how you view the offseason and you now think things
- 1:36:52Speaker 10: need to be done that you might not have thought
- 1:36:53Speaker 10: going into.
- 1:36:54Speaker 6: This that's a great. QUESTION i don't know the. Answer,
- 1:36:56Speaker 6: no it's a great.
- 1:36:56Speaker 5: QUESTION a little bit, OFFENSIVELY i, think you, KNOW i
- 1:36:59Speaker 5: think they need another guy at.
- 1:37:00Speaker 4: RECEIVER i thought that BEFORE i, did BUT i might
- 1:37:04Speaker 4: think strongly more.
- 1:37:05Speaker 6: Strongly, YEAH i don't know that sports.
- 1:37:07Speaker 5: SPREAD i think that you, know whether it's a tight
- 1:37:09Speaker 5: end or it's a it's a, receipt it doesn't. Matter
- 1:37:11Speaker 5: just they need another impact playmaker on, offense.
- 1:37:14Speaker 3: BUT i think this game might.
- 1:37:15Speaker 4: Have BUT i felt that before this, game dude brought
- 1:37:19Speaker 4: up the tight. End yesterday along With evan you were
- 1:37:22Speaker 4: talking about that they need the dude on the.
- 1:37:24Speaker 8: Outside, yeah either, Way.
- 1:37:26Speaker 5: I'm Not i'm not picky in terms of like if
- 1:37:28Speaker 5: it's you, Know gronk or if It's Randy, Moss, like you,
- 1:37:30Speaker 5: know it doesn't like both are you build it?
- 1:37:32Speaker 9: Different but it's both. GREAT i think.
- 1:37:35Speaker 5: Defensively the one guy that's changed my mind is Calebon, Chason,
- 1:37:38Speaker 5: like you, know what are you going to do with?
- 1:37:39Speaker 5: Him he's a free agent at the end of the.
- 1:37:41Speaker 5: Year with this playoff, run he's going to get The
- 1:37:44Speaker 5: Milton williams. Treatment probably of it's gonna he became.
- 1:37:47Speaker 6: Harder, YEAH i.
- 1:37:48Speaker 5: Me you, know he's a former first round pick that's
- 1:37:50Speaker 5: kind of realizing his potential under a good coaching, staff
- 1:37:53Speaker 5: and it's having the run of his life right.
- 1:37:55Speaker 6: NOW i, MEAN i have to hope that he just
- 1:37:57Speaker 6: love it.
- 1:37:57Speaker 10: Here so that's What i'm so interested in is is
- 1:38:00Speaker 10: does he really love it?
- 1:38:01Speaker 8: Here and you, know it does seem like he's got
- 1:38:02Speaker 8: a good.
- 1:38:02Speaker 6: Relationship either, way you got to give him a lot
- 1:38:04Speaker 6: of money either, way you.
- 1:38:05Speaker 8: Got to give him a lot of.
- 1:38:06Speaker 10: Money and you Know landry falling off due to, injury
- 1:38:09Speaker 10: is he going to suddenly find the fountain of? Youth
- 1:38:11Speaker 10: the edge is a huge, need and it's you've already
- 1:38:14Speaker 10: had a guy in house that can do. IT i
- 1:38:16Speaker 10: think that they'd be smart to make Him Chase on a.
- 1:38:18Speaker 10: FOCUS i don't think there's anybody else out there on
- 1:38:20Speaker 10: the market, that's you, know super.
- 1:38:22Speaker 8: Pealing But i'd pair him and Then i'd have a
- 1:38:23Speaker 8: high round drop pick too at that.
- 1:38:25Speaker 5: Position, like even if he's not the player that he's
- 1:38:28Speaker 5: been in the playoffs and he's closer to what he
- 1:38:29Speaker 5: was in the regular, season that's still a starting caliber edge.
- 1:38:32Speaker 5: Rusher AND i feel like it's a little bit like
- 1:38:35Speaker 5: what they did with the offensive line a couple of years.
- 1:38:37Speaker 5: Ago if he, walks, well now you need to starting
- 1:38:39Speaker 5: edge rushers and you've kind of created, this you, know
- 1:38:42Speaker 5: another hole in the. Boat so, Right, so LIKE i
- 1:38:46Speaker 5: feel like With Chase, on even if you overpay him
- 1:38:49Speaker 5: a little bit for the player he was in the regular,
- 1:38:51Speaker 5: season if you know he's capable of this in the,
- 1:38:53Speaker 5: playoffs that's where you're going to be hopefully a, lot you,
- 1:38:56Speaker 5: know moving.
- 1:38:57Speaker 10: Forward SO i think one thing that's changed for me
- 1:38:59Speaker 10: this season too was Just i'm probably gonna lean more
- 1:39:02Speaker 10: towards bigger receivers BECAUSE i think that's What drake like.
- 1:39:05Speaker 10: Agreed you, Know i'm saying away from, small, shifty you,
- 1:39:08Speaker 10: know no offense To Bob, douglas but it just it
- 1:39:10Speaker 10: doesn't seem like he think he has.
- 1:39:12Speaker 6: A good okay with.
- 1:39:13Speaker 2: That, NO i would much Prefer drake get more used
- 1:39:17Speaker 2: to smaller, receivers like not have to say there's a.
- 1:39:20Speaker 6: Happy don't waste that kind of.
- 1:39:21Speaker 5: Talent there's a happy medium between five foot eight and six, four,
- 1:39:25Speaker 5: Right like it doesn't as you, Know Kashan boodie is
- 1:39:27Speaker 5: not not six, four he's six'. One but you, KNOW i,
- 1:39:31Speaker 5: AGREE i think watching him throw the ball To Mac collins,
- 1:39:34Speaker 5: specifically you see how comfortable he is because he does
- 1:39:37Speaker 5: have that catch radious that he doesn't have to be.
- 1:39:39Speaker 9: Perfect.
- 1:39:39Speaker 10: YEAH i also JUST i wonder about and this is
- 1:39:42Speaker 10: definitely Something paul will laugh, about but the fullback position
- 1:39:45Speaker 10: of like you just kind of Had Jack west over
- 1:39:47Speaker 10: here and he filled in and.
- 1:39:48Speaker 3: He you, know can you get that?
- 1:39:49Speaker 9: Cover, well, yeah is coming Back brock. Lamp he is coming.
- 1:39:53Speaker 8: BACK i know that there's only there's only.
- 1:39:55Speaker 4: One they had a true, fullback they may have gone
- 1:39:57Speaker 4: fifteen in two instead of fourteen.
- 1:39:59Speaker 10: THREE i know there's only One Kyle, Uschek but is
- 1:40:02Speaker 10: it too much to ask to find a guy who
- 1:40:05Speaker 10: can make some plays at that.
- 1:40:07Speaker 3: Full back or improve the answer your?
- 1:40:09Speaker 8: Question oh, yeah, yeah the offensive, line you have a full.
- 1:40:12Speaker 9: Back they're.
- 1:40:12Speaker 8: Fine he'll be. Back he'll be.
- 1:40:14Speaker 9: Back is he any?
- 1:40:16Speaker 8: GOOD i don't.
- 1:40:16Speaker 9: Know it's a it's don't. Listen your tea didn't say.
- 1:40:21Speaker 8: Anything you're a Second titan.
- 1:40:23Speaker 3: Too laras And Boston.
- 1:40:24Speaker 2: Rights paul predicted The patriots in the Super bowl During
- 1:40:28Speaker 2: week one of the. Preseason at the one minute twenty
- 1:40:31Speaker 2: second mark into the postgame podcast after The commander's preseason,
- 1:40:35Speaker 2: Game paul interrupts dus and, DECLARES i don't want to
- 1:40:38Speaker 2: get lost with the preseason, game BUT i think they're
- 1:40:41Speaker 2: going to the Super. Bowl check the, archives Given, Flowers, Bravo,
- 1:40:46Speaker 2: matt dig it.
- 1:40:47Speaker 6: Out see every once in a, while smite Ask paul comes.
- 1:40:50Speaker 8: THROUGH i wasn't being snarky at all on that.
- 1:40:52Speaker 6: One not snarky at, All.
- 1:40:55Speaker 2: Chris writes In yesterday you Mentioned Matt collins talking about
- 1:40:58Speaker 2: warriors come out to, play and it reminded me of
- 1:41:02Speaker 2: a military tribute song that fits perfectly with The patriots warrior.
- 1:41:05Speaker 2: Ethos i'd love to see someone rework it into The
- 1:41:08Speaker 2: patriots entrance song At foxborough talk about psyching the other team.
- 1:41:12Speaker 2: OUT i don't know what it. Is he's got a YouTube.
- 1:41:15Speaker 2: Blank we're not going to go to. That as we
- 1:41:16Speaker 2: head into The Super, bowl which matchup or position battle
- 1:41:19Speaker 2: is going to keep you up at night until the
- 1:41:21Speaker 2: game finally decides?
- 1:41:22Speaker 9: It, yeah.
- 1:41:26Speaker 5: Defensive line against The patriots offensive lines the. GAME i,
- 1:41:30Speaker 5: mean the one thing THAT i find that's a little
- 1:41:32Speaker 5: bit comforting about it is that they win a lot
- 1:41:35Speaker 5: with scheme and a lot with games or stunts up.
- 1:41:38Speaker 5: Front and usually not, always but usually when you have
- 1:41:43Speaker 5: as much line movement as they do against mobile, quarterbacks
- 1:41:45Speaker 5: it can be problematic because it's aggressive and you can
- 1:41:49Speaker 5: lose your gaps and you can get out of, position
- 1:41:51Speaker 5: and you, KNOW i think there are opportunities that you
- 1:41:54Speaker 5: see on film with you, Know stafford is not exactly
- 1:41:57Speaker 5: the guy that's going to do that that maybe he
- 1:41:59Speaker 5: can get out of the hocket AND i don't know
- 1:42:01Speaker 5: if he's gonna be able to, throw but you, know
- 1:42:04Speaker 5: at least the running rushing that we've, seen you, know
- 1:42:06Speaker 5: in the playoffs maybe can continue at a high. Level
- 1:42:09Speaker 5: and maybe he does hit, one you know as a
- 1:42:11Speaker 5: thrower out of, structure which you know could be.
- 1:42:15Speaker 9: Big you, Know.
- 1:42:16Speaker 10: I'd love to see him get back to that. Play
- 1:42:18Speaker 10: just make this a great Super bowl to. Watch get
- 1:42:21Speaker 10: the WHOLE nfl world excited about this kid and his
- 1:42:24Speaker 10: potential and his. Skill but it ain't gonna be. Easy
- 1:42:28Speaker 10: this IS i JUST i love all these. Defenses they're all,
- 1:42:30Speaker 10: different and you, know they all have different talent in different.
- 1:42:33Speaker 10: Spots and you, know this one is funny BECAUSE i
- 1:42:35Speaker 10: don't think it's the most, talented but it's the.
- 1:42:37Speaker 8: Best it's the one that plays the best. Together it's the.
- 1:42:40Speaker 5: Deepest you, know they're seven eight deep on the defensive.
- 1:42:44Speaker 5: Line they have a deep, secondary like THEY i think
- 1:42:47Speaker 5: it's probably the most complete personnel. Wise but, they LIKE i,
- 1:42:52Speaker 5: said they they're. Aggressive you know they're gonna come after.
- 1:42:55Speaker 2: Them their their turnaround was pretty. Remarkable you, know they
- 1:42:58Speaker 2: Fire carol to get rid of, uh what's His Nameino?
- 1:43:04Speaker 2: Smith and so people didn't know what they were going to.
- 1:43:06Speaker 2: Do they they brought In, donald you, know first time head,
- 1:43:10Speaker 2: coach and they turned it around just as much as
- 1:43:12Speaker 2: The patriots.
- 1:43:13Speaker 4: Did mike McDonald's what did they do last? Year the
- 1:43:16Speaker 4: nine and, eight ten and seven and didn't they didn't
- 1:43:18Speaker 4: make the? Playoffs ten, wins but they, were you, know really.
- 1:43:21Speaker 4: Tough it was a good job by The Pete.
- 1:43:23Speaker 9: Carroll you know they were.
- 1:43:25Speaker 5: Bad they were actually pretty good, offensively would you know
- 1:43:29Speaker 5: at the, end you know they had j s and
- 1:43:31Speaker 5: they HAD Dk metcalfe.
- 1:43:32Speaker 9: Toward The Patriots Tyler lockett at the.
- 1:43:34Speaker 6: End that was the first time that their defense fell
- 1:43:39Speaker 6: apart That that's really why what led to all the coaching.
- 1:43:42Speaker 3: Changes eldred's In North. Carolina what's Up? Eldred hey doing?
- 1:43:47Speaker 14: It?
- 1:43:47Speaker 3: Okay did you lose your truck and? Job we don't

- 1:44:33Speaker 3: Good, yeah that's a.
- 1:44:36Speaker 11: Know where at The Super. Bowl two things that scares, me,
- 1:44:40Speaker 11: Okay one lying back against walking out in the past
- 1:44:45Speaker 11: and them tied. In and two they secondary against our
- 1:44:50Speaker 11: wide receivers that they all call lean pass you, know
- 1:44:54Speaker 11: and can, cover but The rams scheme the way to
- 1:44:57Speaker 11: get him open, open my boy. Can't so this is
- 1:45:01Speaker 11: What i'm worrying.
- 1:45:02Speaker 3: About.
- 1:45:02Speaker 11: Okay IF i think it will be a one wide receiver, thing,
- 1:45:06Speaker 11: No jase and is this volume. Guy but he had
- 1:45:09Speaker 11: no problem to on to nobody. Else and where he
- 1:45:12Speaker 11: looked at in that championship. GAME i think he got
- 1:45:15Speaker 11: a chip on his Uh Donald. Donald the way he
- 1:45:20Speaker 11: looked at the championship, GAME i think he got something
- 1:45:21Speaker 11: to prove, too you, know because everybody doubted. Him, also, yeah.
- 1:45:25Speaker 5: Even doing a touchdown the deuces, Guy Jake bobo, All it's,
- 1:45:29Speaker 5: like what is happening?
- 1:45:30Speaker 10: HERE i gotta get over this table at media AND i, Somehow,
- 1:45:32Speaker 10: yeah The bobo took some dumb on hill, hockey.
- 1:45:35Speaker 5: You, know THE Nfc championship game. Table The rams offense
- 1:45:39Speaker 5: against The seahawks defense was. DEPRESSING i was, like oh,

- 1:45:56Speaker 9: Guy and then like.
- 1:45:57Speaker 5: Sick but the regular season game Again Rams, seahawks the
- 1:46:02Speaker 5: one that went to overtime In seattle towards the end
- 1:46:04Speaker 5: of the. Season there was a lot of open receivers
- 1:46:06Speaker 5: on that, tab like wide open receiver And.
- 1:46:08Speaker 6: Tampa must have done something against him because they had
- 1:46:10Speaker 6: a high school that was.
- 1:46:11Speaker 9: A long time.
- 1:46:12Speaker 5: Ago but, YEAH i, Agree, yeah but The seattle, one,
- 1:46:16Speaker 5: see The rams won during the regular. SEASON i think
- 1:46:18Speaker 5: it Was week sixteen that went to. OVERTIME i was, like,
- 1:46:21Speaker 5: okay all, right here's some. Things here's some.
- 1:46:24Speaker 4: Right it's seventeen, seventeen, thirteen twenty thirty eight Against tampa
- 1:46:29Speaker 4: twelve nineteen, fourteen twenty, two twenty, one twenty four zero
- 1:46:33Speaker 4: nine sixteen thirty seven against The rams ten and.
- 1:46:37Speaker 6: Three it's like two bad games all.
- 1:46:38Speaker 9: Year, yeah, yeah The. Rams that game was LIKE i
- 1:46:42Speaker 9: found some peace in that.
- 1:46:43Speaker 3: Game Was paulette is in? Quinsy what's, Up?
- 1:46:47Speaker 24: PAULETTE i just want to talk a little bit ABOUT
- 1:46:51Speaker 24: Thefc championship. Gig The pakers must be in great chase
- 1:46:56Speaker 24: because you see everybody else In. Denver they're on the,
- 1:46:58Speaker 24: sideline second, off and The patriots.
- 1:47:01Speaker 3: Just sat there right. Agreed, absolutely we must be in great.
- 1:47:07Speaker 1: Shape.
- 1:47:09Speaker 5: YEAH i heard you couldn't win. THAT i heard the
- 1:47:11Speaker 5: altitude WAS i haven't even done this this. WEEK i
- 1:47:14Speaker 5: heard the altitude was too, much too much to. Overcome
- 1:47:17Speaker 5: what do.
- 1:47:17Speaker 2: You think about The patriots killing another offensive coordinator or?
- 1:47:21Speaker 3: Coordinator was that?
- 1:47:22Speaker 9: WORTHY i went on a little bit of a rant about, that, RIGHT.
- 1:47:24Speaker 8: I, mean it seems like they Were, okay it's that's my.
- 1:47:29Speaker 5: Right it's you call the, plays, dude like this is your,
- 1:47:33Speaker 5: Offense like you scapeged your offensive coordinator when.
- 1:47:36Speaker 4: It's a coordinator didn't decide not to go up to.
- 1:47:38Speaker 4: SCHOOLS i thought it was that was your.
- 1:47:40Speaker 5: Call and he also fired the wide receivers coach, too
- 1:47:42Speaker 5: because he claimed that they were dropping too many. Passes
- 1:47:45Speaker 5: AND i was, like, dude this is this is your,
- 1:47:47Speaker 5: Offense like this is you Are Sean. Payton you call the.
- 1:47:51Speaker 8: Plays you have to.
- 1:47:52Speaker 4: Play rant last week About Sean payton AND i, said,
- 1:47:55Speaker 4: like it's one of the things that LIKE i thought
- 1:47:57Speaker 4: was an intangible that kind of flipped was because he
- 1:48:00Speaker 4: was without his. Quarterback, now maybe he didn't have any
- 1:48:02Speaker 4: pressure on, him BECAUSE i Think Sean payton has a
- 1:48:04Speaker 4: little choker in. HIM i think he's a really good,
- 1:48:06Speaker 4: coach BUT i think he has some choker in. Him
- 1:48:09Speaker 4: you saw the choker he choked a little bit in that.
- 1:48:12Speaker 4: Game that was some bad decision making in critical. Situations
- 1:48:17Speaker 4: and he did the same thing with The. Saints AND i,
- 1:48:19Speaker 4: Know i'll just give you one example that no one
- 1:48:22Speaker 4: ever talks about because it was such an egregiously bad
- 1:48:25Speaker 4: call on that pass and appearance that put The rams
- 1:48:28Speaker 4: in The Super. Bowl the last time The patriots were
- 1:48:30Speaker 4: in The Super, bowl do you remember that blatant miscall
- 1:48:32Speaker 4: on the passing. Apperance no one remembers that The rams
- 1:48:35Speaker 4: had no timeouts, left and if The saints had just
- 1:48:38Speaker 4: run the ball on second and third, down they could
- 1:48:41Speaker 4: have called time out and kicked the field goal as
- 1:48:43Speaker 4: time expired to win the. Game but for some, reason
- 1:48:46Speaker 4: he decided to throw the ball got screwed when they
- 1:48:49Speaker 4: didn't call passing, Appearance and everybody says that he you,
- 1:48:52Speaker 4: know he did everything. Right that's losing track of the,
- 1:48:57Speaker 4: game losing track of a situation at a mike at
- 1:49:01Speaker 4: a critical juncture of the.
- 1:49:03Speaker 5: Game AND i just thought it WAS i, mean he
- 1:49:07Speaker 5: said it, all but like he got beat By Zach
- 1:49:10Speaker 5: korran multiple times in key, spots like he admitted. It,
- 1:49:13Speaker 5: yeah and he admitted, it and then he comes out
- 1:49:15Speaker 5: the next day and Fires Joe, lombardi, like so it
- 1:49:19Speaker 5: was his fault that you called a boot on fod
- 1:49:21Speaker 5: down and didn't Block Milton. Williams LIKE i Just i'm
- 1:49:25Speaker 5: With paula As Sean. PAYNE i THINK i.
- 1:49:28Speaker 4: Like Sean payton as a. COACH i think he's a good.
- 1:49:30Speaker 4: Coach i'm not telling you he's a. STIFF i think
- 1:49:32Speaker 4: he's a little.
- 1:49:33Speaker 2: Overrated chad From, Schenectady, schenectady, right sin CAN i just
- 1:49:38Speaker 2: say that If stafford was dealing with a shoulder thing
- 1:49:41Speaker 2: Like may, is the media would be talking about it
- 1:49:43Speaker 2: like he's playing through an injury that requires surgery and
- 1:49:46Speaker 2: could threaten his. Career With, may it's mild to no
- 1:49:49Speaker 2: concern from national media and will get brushed off the
- 1:49:52Speaker 2: one eighty from national darlings to public enemy number. One
- 1:49:55Speaker 2: that has happened since people realize The patriots might actually
- 1:49:58Speaker 2: be good again and make Another Super bowl a few weeks,
- 1:50:01Speaker 2: ago should be. Studied whatever feels good to be us
- 1:50:04Speaker 2: against the world, Again.
- 1:50:07Speaker 6: So they're Not CAN i ask a question, NOW i
- 1:50:11Speaker 6: guess you.
- 1:50:12Speaker 4: Can't do you want them to talk About Drake may's
- 1:50:17Speaker 4: shoulder or do you not want him to actually?
- 1:50:19Speaker 9: Try the whole conversation?
- 1:50:20Speaker 4: Nauseating, okay, so So evan doesn't want to talk about.
- 1:50:23Speaker 9: The shoulder at, all like he's gonna, Play SO i would.
- 1:50:26Speaker 4: Agree i'm not that this is not a refermendum on
- 1:50:28Speaker 4: what your opinion. Is i'm saying this guy wants them
- 1:50:31Speaker 4: to talk more about the shoulder. Injury other people think
- 1:50:34Speaker 4: they're talking too much about the shoulder. Injury, okay when
- 1:50:37Speaker 4: was the last time you heard anybody talk About Matthew
- 1:50:40Speaker 4: stafford's back injury that kept him out of the entire
- 1:50:44Speaker 4: summer and threatened his. Season when was the last time
- 1:50:48Speaker 4: you heard anybody talk about? That well in the region Of,
- 1:50:50Speaker 4: august is the last time that that was talked?
- 1:50:53Speaker 3: About?
- 1:50:55Speaker 6: Correct did anybody talk about?
- 1:50:56Speaker 4: That in THE Afc championship Game we're watching and he's
- 1:50:58Speaker 4: doing all of this with this, problem like his his
- 1:51:02Speaker 4: career almost ended In. August there was questions of whether
- 1:51:05Speaker 4: or not he was going to be able to play
- 1:51:07Speaker 4: this season at.
- 1:51:08Speaker 6: All, yeah was on. IT i just like to you,

- 1:51:17Speaker 9: Embarrassment that was fantastic.
- 1:51:19Speaker 20: RADIO i.
- 1:51:22Speaker 4: Have the audacity to ask him what he knew About
- 1:51:24Speaker 4: Drake may's shoulder, injury and basically The Big boy told,
- 1:51:27Speaker 4: him we're not talking about, that and shut, Up. Felger

- 1:51:51Speaker 2: apologies if this has been. Discussed thinking about how the
- 1:51:54Speaker 2: offense has been in a lull this, postseason it got
- 1:51:57Speaker 2: me wondering If josh McDaniels says any tricks up his
- 1:52:00Speaker 2: sleeve For Marcus jones in The Super. BOWL i think
- 1:52:03Speaker 2: the offense will turn things around regardless in two, weeks
- 1:52:06Speaker 2: but if we get desperate Against, seattle up might be
- 1:52:09Speaker 2: worth to have a play or two in hand For.
- 1:52:11Speaker 3: Jones.
- 1:52:12Speaker 4: Wrinkle you don't have to save anything right last. Game
- 1:52:14Speaker 4: you're not worried about keeping him healthy.
- 1:52:16Speaker 8: Anymore gonna have he's.
- 1:52:17Speaker 2: Got you get him out there and it's, like, Okay Marcus,
- 1:52:20Speaker 2: JOSEPH i don't feel.
- 1:52:21Speaker 4: Hasn't that happened every time he's been on the field,
- 1:52:23Speaker 4: OFFENSIVELY i, Guess and he seems to make a.
- 1:52:25Speaker 6: Play they've used.
- 1:52:26Speaker 9: Him as a decoy before.
- 1:52:27Speaker 5: TOO i MEAN i think that is, true, Though, Fred,
- 1:52:30Speaker 5: like if you're only going to do it once and
- 1:52:33Speaker 5: you're gonna throw him the, ball it's pretty, predictable whereas
- 1:52:36Speaker 5: if you've shown it on tape, before where you have gadget,
- 1:52:39Speaker 5: plays and sometimes he's a decoy and sometimes he. Isn't
- 1:52:42Speaker 5: then it becomes a little bit more. USEFUL I i two,
- 1:52:45Speaker 5: PLAYS i would say, that you, Know i'd more be
- 1:52:48Speaker 5: interested In Travon henderson returning kickoffs and seeing if.
- 1:52:51Speaker 4: He i've been wondering when that was going to happen to,
- 1:52:55Speaker 4: me maybe especially with his workload really being cut back
- 1:52:59Speaker 4: because it's Been he.
- 1:53:00Speaker 5: Played four snaps in The Apes championship game AND i
- 1:53:03Speaker 5: didn't kick off a, Lot so you know that obviously
- 1:53:06Speaker 5: played a. Role but you can't tell me that he
- 1:53:09Speaker 5: couldn't be a better option than dearness From.
- 1:53:11Speaker 2: WICHITA i think one positive takeaway from playing three consecutive,
- 1:53:15Speaker 2: messy find a way to win type games is that
- 1:53:18Speaker 2: McDaniels hasn't had to get too deep into the. PLAYBOOK
- 1:53:21Speaker 2: i bet there are eight or more plays in the
- 1:53:23Speaker 2: Super bowl that we haven't seen. Before i'm excited to
- 1:53:26Speaker 2: see anything they can scheme.
- 1:53:27Speaker 4: Up, Also i'm going to accept that challenge on behalf Of.
- 1:53:30Speaker 4: EVAN i want you to tell me if there's any
- 1:53:32Speaker 4: place that you haven't Seen i've actually AND i got
- 1:53:35Speaker 4: to tell you there's a laundry list of trick plays
- 1:53:36Speaker 4: that they're running every game they ran a flee Flicker Marcus.
- 1:53:39Speaker 5: Jones YET i do uh you, KNOW i do think
- 1:53:43Speaker 5: that some of their core concepts that they've ran all
- 1:53:47Speaker 5: year could use like a left, hook you, know like,
- 1:53:51Speaker 5: okay you we love, Stick so like now we're going
- 1:53:55Speaker 5: to run like, stick, no and you're going to jump
- 1:53:58Speaker 5: the stick and then he's going to go up thee you.
- 1:54:00Speaker 5: Know and LIKE i haven't really done a lot of
- 1:54:03Speaker 5: that because they didn't really have, to you, know but
- 1:54:06Speaker 5: as a time they.
- 1:54:07Speaker 4: Might have some adjustments and, whatnot because there always are
- 1:54:10Speaker 4: AND i think That josh is pretty, creative but they're
- 1:54:13Speaker 4: empty in the book every.
- 1:54:14Speaker 2: Week, yeah this is more about like we should run
- 1:54:16Speaker 2: quad post quad post. Four it's a commis it's a nuclear,
- 1:54:24Speaker 2: quad right you hit the, button nuclear war four guys
- 1:54:28Speaker 2: goes straight.
- 1:54:29Speaker 6: And just so if you have so for you could
- 1:54:34Speaker 6: take all four guys out with one one.
- 1:54:36Speaker 5: Defender so so for vert ye best player in sports
- 1:54:40Speaker 5: is it? Fours, WELL i personally am a fan Of
- 1:54:43Speaker 5: I'll Go, Special all Go, Special i'll Go, special which
- 1:54:46Speaker 5: is like four, verts but the inside receiver runs like
- 1:54:48Speaker 5: more of like a post than a go and it
- 1:54:50Speaker 5: kind of occupies the safety.
- 1:54:52Speaker 9: A little bit.
- 1:54:53Speaker 5: Better but that's like about everybody this.
- 1:54:59Speaker 6: Year what about the st.
- 1:55:00Speaker 5: Liberty i'm less interested in all these little trick plays
- 1:55:04Speaker 5: and more interested in like everybody kind of knows what
- 1:55:06Speaker 5: you run, Now so like what is the compliment off
- 1:55:09Speaker 5: of that thing you've been running all year that maybe
- 1:55:11Speaker 5: they don't haven't seen on film, yet you, Know like
- 1:55:14Speaker 5: they know that you're going to Run stefan digs on
- 1:55:17Speaker 5: a little option route over the middle of the, Field so,
- 1:55:19Speaker 5: like is there another thing that they can do off of?
- 1:55:22Speaker 9: That like maybe he goes vertical instead of.
- 1:55:24Speaker 3: You, know what about mesh rub.
- 1:55:27Speaker 9: Closer that's a real. Thing mesh mess is a real.
- 1:55:30Speaker 5: THING i, mean mesh rub is kind of.
- 1:55:34Speaker 9: Redundant it's kind of like atm.
- 1:55:36Speaker 2: Machine but you get to the mesh you, know you
- 1:55:38Speaker 2: get to the mesh point and they give them a little.
- 1:55:41Speaker 8: RUB i don't want to know. What you're, relaxed and
- 1:55:43Speaker 8: then you get away.
- 1:55:45Speaker 3: One other thing From matt before you go.
- 1:55:47Speaker 2: On hold that, thought, deuce what does this defense have
- 1:55:50Speaker 2: to do to get national media? Attention after every game
- 1:55:54Speaker 2: the narrative is the other team screwed.
- 1:55:56Speaker 4: Up there might be some truth to that one THE
- 1:56:00Speaker 4: us because they not that its, us.
- 1:56:03Speaker 6: They're jealous of.
- 1:56:05Speaker 5: Us if you're going to go with THE hata Single
- 1:56:07Speaker 5: Bill belichick not being a first Ballot hall Of famer
- 1:56:10Speaker 5: is definitely more than the defense getting. Disrespected, NO i was.
- 1:56:14Speaker 10: Just, SAY i think it'd be a good question For
- 1:56:15Speaker 10: josh of just what have you learned over the course
- 1:56:18Speaker 10: of going to so Many Super bowls about what you
- 1:56:20Speaker 10: need in your game? Plan, like you, know what would
- 1:56:22Speaker 10: you take into your game plan now that maybe those
- 1:56:25Speaker 10: first couple of times you were, like, SHOOT i, mean you,
- 1:56:27Speaker 10: know a class example was having like a.
- 1:56:29Speaker 8: Bunch of two point. PLAYS i think they, said, oh
- 1:56:30Speaker 8: we had a bunch of two point plays in or.
- 1:56:32Speaker 6: Whatever but, no, no, no, no, knowing, no, no you got it.
- 1:56:35Speaker 9: Wrong you got it.
- 1:56:36Speaker 6: Wrong it's because they, knew.
- 1:56:39Speaker 4: You think it was going to be a high scoring
- 1:56:41Speaker 4: game and they were going to need extra.
- 1:56:42Speaker 3: Two point plays at, least you know, What.
- 1:56:45Speaker 6: That's another whole argument all in.
- 1:56:47Speaker 5: Itself you also like fourth, down you know NOW i
- 1:56:49Speaker 5: think THAT i find that so fascinating now that teams
- 1:56:52Speaker 5: are going for, It i'm more on fourth.
- 1:56:54Speaker 9: Down you need more fourth down.
- 1:56:55Speaker 5: Plays like you need you, needed like you might go
- 1:56:58Speaker 5: into a game with like one or two four in
- 1:57:00Speaker 5: one place for like a got to have a Dry but,
- 1:57:02Speaker 5: now If Mike rabel Says josh in the first, half
- 1:57:05Speaker 5: you know it's fourth and, one we're going for.
- 1:57:06Speaker 2: It something we probably we're coming to the end. Today
- 1:57:09Speaker 2: but Something i've been meaning to meaning to bring.
- 1:57:12Speaker 3: Up we need to Teach Drake may how to. Sneak
- 1:57:16Speaker 3: he's not a good sneaker. Yet, no you know he's
- 1:57:19Speaker 3: not a good. Sneaker.

- 1:57:23Speaker 5: wish that situation was a little bit.
