Latest / OneLegUpAlex Sports / One Leg Up On Sports' Instant Super Bowl 59 Reaction With Dean Fresh and Alex Garrett 2-10-25
Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Here's your host, Alex Garrett.
- 0:06Speaker 2: All right, Well, my instant reaction to Super Bowl fifty nine,
- 0:09Speaker 2: the Big Game is this, pay the men if you
- 0:14Speaker 2: want to keep Kellen Moore on that sideline as the
- 0:18Speaker 2: Eagles offensive coordinator and not let him go to that
- 0:23Speaker 2: very super Dome where he won the Super Bowl last
- 0:25Speaker 2: night thanks to Jalen Hurts and that offense and of
- 0:31Speaker 2: course the defense. Vic Fangio finally beating Mahomes. You know,
- 0:36Speaker 2: Fenjo had a record of eight against Mahomes oh and
- 0:40Speaker 2: six as Denver head coach, oh and two is Miami
- 0:43Speaker 2: off yet last night when it counted, he got the
- 0:45Speaker 2: big one. But I find the Kellen Moore storyline where
- 0:49Speaker 2: he could literally go back to the Super Bowl Dome
- 0:52Speaker 2: where he won the Super Bowl last night, out smarting
- 0:56Speaker 2: all arguably a Hall of Fame defensive coordinator and Steve's
- 1:00Speaker 2: Spagnolo to the tune of what forty points in the
- 1:07Speaker 2: Super Bowl last night.
- 1:10Speaker 1: So so pay Vic Fangio, Pay Kellen Moore so he
- 1:20Speaker 1: doesn't end up on that very Super Dome sideline, and
- 1:25Speaker 1: I think the Eagles will be in shape now.
- 1:28Speaker 2: They're already favorites in some books to win Super Bowl sixty.
- 1:31Speaker 2: By the way, I hope he gets that sixty is
- 1:34Speaker 2: Super Bowl. How cool to have the one Leg Up
- 1:36Speaker 2: Network at the sixties Super Bowl, even on radio row.
- 1:41Speaker 2: We'll have to find out if that can happen one
- 1:43Speaker 2: day at a time though, as I say here on
- 1:46Speaker 2: Alex Scatt's One Leg Up Network.
- 1:49Speaker 3: But the reaction is not so much about the game.
- 1:52Speaker 3: That was amazing to see how.
- 1:53Speaker 2: Uncomfortable Mahomes was, but to just pay the man Kellen Moore,
- 2:03Speaker 2: so Nick Sirianni can keep him on staff in Philly.
- 2:09Speaker 2: And I pray that last night watching Sakwan Barkley, watching
- 2:12Speaker 2: the Eagles win this ROWL the first year after Barkley
- 2:16Speaker 2: leaves the Giants motivates the hell out of the Giants
- 2:20Speaker 2: and helps them get to even the postseason again. And
- 2:23Speaker 2: I hope it motivates them so much so that they
- 2:26Speaker 2: are the ones that get the lights on the Empire
- 2:28Speaker 2: State Building, not the Eagles at any rate. I now
- 2:32Speaker 2: turned to my guest today, Dean Scott aka Dean Fresh,
- 2:37Speaker 2: who's a big NFL college football guy, for his perspective.
- 2:41Speaker 3: I went with down in Super fifty nine.
- 2:43Speaker 2: All right, So my next guess and I bent thro
- 2:45Speaker 2: about the NFL, about college. He's at the Ohio State one.
- 2:49Speaker 2: Now he's on my show and you might know him
- 2:51Speaker 2: as Dean fresh or Dean Scott.
- 2:53Speaker 4: Dean.
- 2:54Speaker 3: Thanks for joining my show today.
- 2:55Speaker 4: What's going on, Alex? Yeah, definitely definitely little bit disappointed
- 3:03Speaker 4: in terms of, you know, what we saw last night
- 3:04Speaker 4: from a competitive standpoint, but as someone who just you know,
- 3:09Speaker 4: purely loves peer, loves the game, loves the talk ball,
- 3:13Speaker 4: get kind of to the nitty and gritty of it
- 3:15Speaker 4: and kind of study the you know, the x's and
- 3:17Speaker 4: o's and the things that go into it. Definitely, uh,
- 3:21Speaker 4: definitely was it was. It was interesting from that perspective.
- 3:24Speaker 3: You know, I loved it.
- 3:25Speaker 2: After the title game, I saw you reviewing film, and
- 3:27Speaker 2: I'm sure I'm gonna review some film what would happen yesterday?
- 3:29Speaker 3: But firstly, the pick six.
- 3:31Speaker 2: I want to get to that because that's the most
- 3:33Speaker 2: fascinating part of the game to me. My homes got
- 3:35Speaker 2: picked off and then as a pick six, what did
- 3:37Speaker 2: you see on that play specifically?
- 3:38Speaker 4: Well, I haven't looked I haven't really looked at film.
- 3:40Speaker 4: I actually watched the game on a flight back from
- 3:42Speaker 4: a wedding in Tampa Bay. I was watching it, you know,
- 3:44Speaker 4: on a delta flight on the screen in front of
- 3:46Speaker 4: me on the headrest. But clearly, I think that the
- 3:51Speaker 4: interception was really just a it was a result of
- 3:54Speaker 4: where the game was going, and like, honestly it was
- 3:57Speaker 4: it was just a symptom of what was happening at
- 4:01Speaker 4: some point in the second half. Like I said, it's
- 4:03Speaker 4: it's the night before. But I remember there was some
- 4:05Speaker 4: jarring stats that's always like stick out with me, and
- 4:10Speaker 4: they had said, I think it was it was. It
- 4:12Speaker 4: was said that Tom Brady Tom Brady and uh, I forgot,
- 4:16Speaker 4: who does is Burkhard said that yeah.
- 4:19Speaker 3: That yeah.
- 4:20Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomes was pressured on over fifty between fifty to
- 4:22Speaker 4: fifty one percent of his dropbacks, which is incredible, Which
- 4:25Speaker 4: is incredible. That's like an insane number. He was zero
- 4:28Speaker 4: for five on third down, sacked five times. He was
- 4:33Speaker 4: rushed all night. He tried to step up in the pocket,
- 4:35Speaker 4: had absolutely nowhere to go, he couldn't improvise. And the
- 4:39Speaker 4: here's the craziest part. At that point, they said that
- 4:43Speaker 4: the Eagles blitzed zero times. So what you're seeing is
- 4:49Speaker 4: the Eagles absolutely dominating and getting generating pressure without sending
- 4:54Speaker 4: an extra defender, without having to compromise their you know,
- 4:59Speaker 4: the back end of their of their defense, their secondary,
- 5:01Speaker 4: their linebackers were sitting on everything. And yeah, it was
- 5:07Speaker 4: basically just a result of patching Mahomes not being able
- 5:10Speaker 4: to fully diagnose the field being sped up completely. He
- 5:13Speaker 4: was physically harassed, physically knocked around, and just write just
- 5:17Speaker 4: a poor decision.
- 5:19Speaker 2: Now, Vic Fangio, who's been named about today because he
- 5:22Speaker 2: finally beat Mahomes, Remember he had a winless record as
- 5:25Speaker 2: the Denver head coach. Then is Miami defensive correator how
- 5:29Speaker 2: did he turn the switch last night?
- 5:31Speaker 3: Like I guess his defense he had?
- 5:32Speaker 4: Right, It's yeah, realistically, if you want to, like look
- 5:36Speaker 4: at it from a football perspective and what like value
- 5:39Speaker 4: actually means, the MVP was Josh Sweat or the entire
- 5:43Speaker 4: defensive line.
- 5:44Speaker 3: Much like the Giants in two thousand and seven to eight.
- 5:47Speaker 4: I read that. I think that they either had the
- 5:49Speaker 4: highest sense or it's the only pressure rate for an
- 5:52Speaker 4: entire game to eclipse the two thousand and seven, you know,
- 5:55Speaker 4: two thousand and eight Giants. I believe they finished the
- 5:56Speaker 4: game with a pressure rate of like thirty eight percent,
- 5:58Speaker 4: and obviously they took their foot off the gas because
- 6:01Speaker 4: it wasn't competitive, but Josh Sweat was basically he was
- 6:08Speaker 4: just driving Tuney back at every single point. There was
- 6:12Speaker 4: a few a few clips that they would show and
- 6:14Speaker 4: I watch a lot of I watch a lot of
- 6:16Speaker 4: college football. Big credit to you know, Joel Klatt, definitely
- 6:20Speaker 4: someone I love to watch and learn the game from.
- 6:22Speaker 4: And he talks about defensive edge pressure and edge play
- 6:26Speaker 4: and a key and a key thing of players who
- 6:28Speaker 4: can go from the speed and transition to the power rush.
- 6:32Speaker 4: So they get up the field and on you know,
- 6:34Speaker 4: the the offensive tackles outside shoulder by beating him to
- 6:38Speaker 4: that spot and then turn their hips and then immediately
- 6:41Speaker 4: drive into them and push them back. They're not looking
- 6:43Speaker 4: to bend and just run around them. They get a
- 6:46Speaker 4: slight advantage upfield and then turn lower their hips and
- 6:49Speaker 4: just drive them. And there was a handful of plays
- 6:51Speaker 4: that he was literally driving the left tackle Tooney back
- 6:55Speaker 4: into Patrick Mahomes's lap, giving him nowhere to escape. He
- 6:58Speaker 4: would step up and then whether it was Jordan Davis
- 7:02Speaker 4: or Jalen Carter, basically in you know, in like the
- 7:06Speaker 4: A and b gaps, just absolutely putting the clamps down,
- 7:09Speaker 4: not giving him those any escape valves anywhere to go.
- 7:13Speaker 4: A really good example, I think was honestly the second
- 7:15Speaker 4: the the what was the first interception, not the pick six?
- 7:18Speaker 4: Actually I can't remember if it was the first, the
- 7:20Speaker 4: one that he threw in his own red zone. Zach
- 7:23Speaker 4: Bond also had a great game. He drops into coverage,
- 7:27Speaker 4: the pressure comes from the from from the outside. He
- 7:30Speaker 4: steps up and he's once again has Jordan Davis uh
- 7:34Speaker 4: and Jalen Carter in his lap. He actually got there
- 7:36Speaker 4: was actually a slight deflection on that pass he tried
- 7:39Speaker 4: to throw over the middle, and Zach Bown made a
- 7:41Speaker 4: great play. Just read and react because they were putting
- 7:44Speaker 4: Mahomes in these in these awkward situations. He's not comfortable.
- 7:48Speaker 2: He did not look comfortable at all. Now, Cooper, did
- 7:50Speaker 2: you who did that the intel pick six? You know,
- 7:53Speaker 2: if it weren't for Jane Daniels, he would be considered
- 7:55Speaker 2: a Rookie of the Year candidate, right, I mean that
- 7:57Speaker 2: guy had quite a year for Philly.
- 7:59Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean he was flying around I feel like
- 8:01Speaker 4: all year making plays. I wish that I had, you know,
- 8:06Speaker 4: had a day and a half to prepare some stats
- 8:09Speaker 4: for you here. But I think I read something like
- 8:12Speaker 4: that he I don't think he gave up a single
- 8:14Speaker 4: touchdown if if you look at like pro football focuses
- 8:18Speaker 4: like super intricate breakdowns, but I don't think that he
- 8:21Speaker 4: gave up a single to or if he did, it
- 8:23Speaker 4: was in the very low single digits and had and
- 8:27Speaker 4: had a big number of like pass breakups. He was
- 8:30Speaker 4: a very very like unusually high graded like rookie defensive
- 8:34Speaker 4: defensive back.
- 8:35Speaker 2: Now on the offensive side, Jalen Hurts. You know, he
- 8:37Speaker 2: was here a few years ago against the Chiefs, had
- 8:40Speaker 2: a very good game against that Super Bowl. But what
- 8:43Speaker 2: was the thing that got them over.
- 8:44Speaker 3: The top this year?
- 8:45Speaker 2: Say Quan was actually shut down a little bit compared
- 8:47Speaker 2: to what we expected. But what was the what got
- 8:50Speaker 2: them over the top against the Casey yesterday?
- 8:53Speaker 4: It's the defense. There's there's nothing really that you can say.
- 8:56Speaker 4: The offense played well, and they did. They didn't turn
- 8:58Speaker 4: the ball over other than that first interception, which I
- 9:00Speaker 4: was a bad decision, a bad read. That's fine, it
- 9:03Speaker 4: happens in football. A huge barometer of quarterbacks is how
- 9:07Speaker 4: they react after mistakes, and they didn't really take any risks.
- 9:11Speaker 4: They were able to he escape the pocket. Well, it's
- 9:14Speaker 4: all the defense, you said. I'm a huge I'm a
- 9:18Speaker 4: huge college football fan, and this just brought me back.
- 9:21Speaker 4: We're going to step back a few years too. And
- 9:23Speaker 4: this pains me to say Ohio State and Florida in
- 9:26Speaker 4: the National Championship, the BCS National Championship Game in two
- 9:30Speaker 4: thousand and six, where Ohio State's front five could not
- 9:34Speaker 4: stop Urban Myers. You know, pass rush. I remember. I
- 9:38Speaker 4: think it was a freshman of sophomore Carlos Dunlap junior.
- 9:41Speaker 4: I was. I had nightmares just seeing him come around
- 9:44Speaker 4: the edge. He could not be blocked. And in a
- 9:47Speaker 4: sense football we can talk all the intricacies of how
- 9:52Speaker 4: athletic these players are and how amazing the offensive schemes are,
- 9:55Speaker 4: the fireworks shows with guys like Tyreek Hill and throwing
- 9:58Speaker 4: the ball down the field, But you listen to guys
- 10:01Speaker 4: who really know what they're talking about, and they will say,
- 10:03Speaker 4: the game always, no matter where we are, is going
- 10:06Speaker 4: to come down to tackling and blocking. And if you
- 10:08Speaker 4: can't effectively do either of those two things, or you
- 10:11Speaker 4: are really really deficient in one of those two ways
- 10:15Speaker 4: you will lose. I don't care if you have Calvin
- 10:17Speaker 4: Johnson in his prime with Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase
- 10:21Speaker 4: on the outside. If the quarterback can't take a three
- 10:25Speaker 4: step drop, if he cannot step up in the pocket,
- 10:27Speaker 4: if he has defensive linement a front four, only a
- 10:31Speaker 4: front four, absolutely eating his offensive line alive, that's not
- 10:36Speaker 4: a recipe for success. And I don't care who you
- 10:39Speaker 4: have and what scheme you run.
- 10:40Speaker 2: All right, Well, let me ask you this. You're a
- 10:42Speaker 2: Giant fan through and through. Does it pain you see
- 10:45Speaker 2: the egos win? Or are you indifferent about it? Like
- 10:48Speaker 2: what you're feeling, especially seeing Saquan on that winning team
- 10:51Speaker 2: a year after leaving the Giants?
- 10:53Speaker 3: How do you feel about all of it?
- 10:54Speaker 4: It's definitely. I think it's really it's really easy for
- 10:58Speaker 4: a Giant fan to be souper or upset. Was I
- 11:00Speaker 4: rooting for the Eagles? No, like I was?
- 11:05Speaker 3: I guess Were you rooting for Saquan at least or not?
- 11:08Speaker 4: Really? Not in not inherently, but I was not the
- 11:12Speaker 4: whole season. I was not upset to see him have
- 11:14Speaker 4: success because I loved him as a player and I
- 11:16Speaker 4: still do. And it was. It was just an unfortunate
- 11:19Speaker 4: side of you know, football being a business, the salary cap,
- 11:25Speaker 4: having to make those decisions. I also think that it's
- 11:28Speaker 4: unfair to look at and say, look he had this
- 11:30Speaker 4: two thousand yard season and look what the Giants let go.
- 11:33Speaker 4: Let's be real. He was not rushing for two thousand
- 11:35Speaker 4: yards behind a patchwork offensive line, a very unimaginative offensive scheme.
- 11:40Speaker 4: And I say that as a Giant fan. It just
- 11:42Speaker 4: is what it is. He had. He we got the
- 11:44Speaker 4: most we could get out of him, but he needed
- 11:47Speaker 4: to go somewhere else to really take off and fly.
- 11:50Speaker 4: He was not putting up those kind of numbers. He
- 11:52Speaker 4: had six touchdowns or seven touchdowns of over sixty yards
- 11:56Speaker 4: like that was not gonna happen.
- 11:57Speaker 2: If and he did break a rushing record for all
- 12:00Speaker 2: season last night, if I'm not mistaken, so.
- 12:02Speaker 4: I believe he broke the for an entire year. I
- 12:05Speaker 4: think it's Eric Dickerson still, like, don't quote me on that.
- 12:08Speaker 4: Like I said, it didn't have a lot of time
- 12:10Speaker 4: to prepare for this like I would have wanted to.
- 12:15Speaker 4: Granted he obviously there was an extra game. I'm not
- 12:19Speaker 4: trying to take anything away from that end, you know,
- 12:21Speaker 4: four full playoff games. It was an incredible season. And
- 12:24Speaker 4: you know, it's someone who loves the Giants and I
- 12:26Speaker 4: inherently don't like the Eagles. Game recognizes game and the dominance.
- 12:32Speaker 4: I like defensive dominance when I see it, and they
- 12:35Speaker 4: absolutely it was a masterclass.
- 12:38Speaker 2: Well, I'm hoping it doesn't mean the Yankees lose Soto
- 12:40Speaker 2: and then Soa wins the World Series. I'm hoping that's
- 12:42Speaker 2: not the pattern we're going to see this summer.
- 12:43Speaker 3: But we'll have to see. All Right, one last thing.
- 12:46Speaker 3: You're a shoe guy. You love the shoes, you love
- 12:48Speaker 3: graphic design and shoes. Who had the best cleats out
- 12:50Speaker 3: there last night?
- 12:52Speaker 4: Uh, it probably has to go quick without really fine toothing.
- 12:58Speaker 4: It probably has to go to the to the man himself.
- 13:01Speaker 4: Jalen Hurts, Jordan brand athlete came out, uh and for
- 13:05Speaker 4: warm ups in the Jordan one band or the bread
- 13:08Speaker 4: you know colorway, which is actually set for a big release,
- 13:12Speaker 4: which is a really really uh historically important uh sneaker.
- 13:16Speaker 4: They all black, all red was actually initially banned from
- 13:19Speaker 4: the NBA. They weren't gonna let Nike and Michael Jordan
- 13:23Speaker 4: wear it. At the time, they had an unusual rule
- 13:25Speaker 4: about sneakers having to be majority white. It's this very
- 13:28Speaker 4: huge cultural thing. And then he did switch to the
- 13:31Speaker 4: white and Green player exclusive, the Kelly Green Jordan eleven cleet.
- 13:37Speaker 4: Probably any yeah, any any Jordan brand athlete is probably
- 13:41Speaker 4: gonna have the best cleek game out there. Travis Kelcey
- 13:44Speaker 4: also did have a sweet pair of elevens I saw
- 13:46Speaker 4: on Instagram.
- 13:47Speaker 3: Well, we got to get into the shoes more because
- 13:48Speaker 3: that's your your feel. But another time right here on
- 13:51Speaker 3: one leg.
- 13:51Speaker 4: Up Network, any any any, anytime, Alex, I'll yeah, if
- 13:55Speaker 4: you want to, if you want to dive into, yeah,
- 13:58Speaker 4: the world of you know, player exclusive and and interesting footwear.
- 14:02Speaker 3: One leg Up. That's how you do it right, all right,
- 14:04Speaker 3: Dean Fresh, thanks so much for joining me today.
