They're going to have a ton of money to spend.
0:01
Why not putting in one of the top three offensive players in
0:05
the league? We're going to be looking at
0:14
Aaron Judge and saying that he can't win the big game, Michael
0:17
Jordan said. I played 82 games.
0:20
You don't see the fun doing that a game.
0:22
Where you got to go? Before I told you, Giant fans
0:26
and Saquon Barkley this, I'm gonna
1:38
over. Moving on to the NBA All Star
1:43
Game, the NHL All Star Game, the Olympics as Team USA could face
1:48
off against Team Canada in the gold medal rounds.
1:54
So ladies and gentlemen, a lot of sports to get into,
1:57
especially Super Bowl 60. You know who I am.

3:07
times. Super Bowl 60, all the Super
3:09
Bowls, it's a holiday. Everybody is getting ready for
3:14
an extravaganza as their family friends show up to parties, get
3:18
drunk, eat a lot of food and are supposed to watch a great
3:24
football game. Well, ladies and gentlemen, last
3:27
night reminds me of a Super Bowl that entered my mind from I
3:32
think it was 2018-2019 with the Patriots and the Rams.
3:38
It wasn't as bad as the Patriots and Rams game, but it wasn't the
3:42
best one. But we'll get into that in just
3:44
a few moments. But I I go to parties and I
3:47
enjoyed every single year. I want to give a shout out to
3:49
Mike the Beef. Yep, Elliers and his family,
3:53
they're great, great family. They have great, great parties.
3:56
I went to Jimbo's house and and enjoyed the extravaganza there,
4:01
got a chance to see a bunch of kids running around screaming,
4:05
having a good time. And I like kids, I'm not going
4:08
to lie. But when you're watching a
4:09
football game, you're trying to concentrate to make sure they
4:11
get all the content in your brain.
4:13
Yet you don't like kids throwing things at you, throwing juice
4:16
boxes at you and you trying to body slam and wrestling to the
4:19
ground. But it was fun.
4:21
I really appreciate the family for inviting us.
4:24
I got to see Jamie Lee, Speedy. Jamie Lee was there.
4:27
I don't know what you're doing over there in the corner.
4:29
I. Am posting on Instagram.
4:30
What else is new? I mean, you should be posting
4:32
before the show, but. I can't do it without a live
4:34
feed that doesn't exist yet. 5 minutes to post it, you did not.
4:38
Anyways, I will say this, the family is great and and to get
4:43
to hang out with people you don't see every single day, you
4:46
don't see them throughout the season, throughout the year.
4:49
It's fun to talk football with them.
4:51
Got a chance to meet see his cousin Matt who loves football,
4:55
loves baseball. Had a lot of conversations about
4:57
the Yankees and the Yankees offseason.
4:59
A lot of Yankee guys that were not happy with the Yankees
5:03
acquisitions. Bellinger wasn't enough as the
5:06
Yankee fans would say. But I think there's a lot of a
5:09
lot of additions the Yankees added, not big names.
5:13
And even bringing Garrett Cole back at some point this season
5:16
is a big use component of the Yankees.
5:19
The Yankees success if the Yankees plan to move on and
5:22
possibly play for a World Series.
5:24
But we got to get into Super Bowl 60.
5:27
It's a it's a big story as a Seattle knocks out, yes I mean
5:32
knocks out the Patriots at Super Bowl 60 On Sunday, the Seattle
5:38
Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots 29 to 13 to win
5:42
Super Bowl 60. The Seahawks defense completely
5:45
shut down Drake May and the Patriots offense, not giving up
5:49
any points until the fourth quarter bomb to Mack Hollins and
5:54
a flick to running back from Andre Stevens Stevenson after
5:58
the game was already in hand for Seattle.
6:04
The Seahawks defense had six sacks, tied for second most in
6:10
Super Bowl history, and also forced 3 turnovers, including a
6:14
pick six in the fourth quarter when Devin Witherspoon hit May
6:19
and defensive and Nawosu caught the ball and returned it for a
6:25
touchdown, putting the game out of reach with under 5 minutes to
6:29
go. Sam Donald managed the game well
6:32
against a very tough Patriots defense, including a great
6:35
performance by Christian Gonzalez who had three passes
6:39
deflected and shut down everyone he faced including Jackson Smith
6:45
Najiba, who also left the game early in the third quarter and
6:49
missed most of the second-half with a possible concussion
6:52
before returning late. Donald had 202 passing yards and
6:58
a touchdown, but Super Bowl 60 MVP went to Kenneth Walker the
7:02
third where he was the real driving force for the Seattle
7:08
Seattle Seahawks offense with 135 rushing yards and 161 total
7:14
yards. Walker is the first running back
7:17
to be Super Bowl MVP since Terrell Davis.
7:21
If you don't remember, I remember that year because that
7:23
was the year that the Broncos knocked out or knocked off the
7:27
New York Jets in the AFC title game when The Jets were up 17
7:30
and nothing going into the second second-half.
7:31
But I don't want to bring that up.
7:33
In 1998, Mike McDonald becomes the second youngest head coach
7:37
to ever win a Super Bowl at the age of 38, and only behind Sean
7:42
McVeigh, who was 30. Six.
7:46
Well, ladies and gentlemen, there was a lot that I, I, I, I
7:50
kind of discovered in this particular football game.
7:53
First of all, Drake May has not played well all playoff long and
8:01
going into the playoffs, I said it.
8:03
Everybody out listens to the show, knows that I went into the
8:06
insurance and the outs of the Patriots season, how easy their
8:09
schedule was to get into the playoffs.
8:11
They did not win the conference that went to the Broncos.
8:15
So the Patriots going into the playoffs, they were 14 and
8:19
three. They were one of the hotter
8:20
teams in the NFL and Drake May was up for an MVP.
8:23
He was this as everybody thought he was the second best
8:26
quarterback coming out of the season.
8:29
But Drake May's schedule was very, very easy.
8:32
As it was said, the last easy schedule like this was about 7
8:36
years ago was 2019 and I think it was the Indianapolis Colts.
8:40
There were like 3 teams tied for it.
8:42
It was the Jaguars and the Bills too, I believe.
8:44
It was as easy of a schedule as you possibly possibly can have.
8:49
Now it is a first year coach over there with the Patriots
8:52
now, not first year in the NFL as a head coach because he was
8:55
the head coach for the Tennessee Titans.
8:56
A successful 1. He won coach of the year over
8:59
there with Tennessee and obviously he won coach of the
9:01
year this year. I have my own take on that a
9:03
little bit later in the show, but I said going into the game,
9:08
the guy that I would be betting on is Mike McDonald.
9:13
If you look at the success of Mike McDonald as as a defensive
9:17
coordinator, go look at the Baltimore Ravens, go go look at
9:20
where they were ranked defensively when he was the head
9:23
coach over there. I mean when we he was the
9:24
defensive coordinator over there under John Harbaugh.
9:27
John Harbaugh has not had a defense that good since Mike did
9:31
met. Mike McDonald has left and taken
9:33
to Seattle Seahawks job. When you look at what Mike
9:38
McDonald has done in such a short time as a young coach and
9:42
as a team leader, taking on the responsibility to come over here
9:48
at with the Seattle Seahawks and take over for an all time great.
9:51
Pete Carroll, who's won two national championships and did
9:54
win a Super Bowl, should have won two Super Bowls.
9:56
If he didn't have that bad call in the Super Bowl where there
10:00
was an interception on the goal line, well on the five or three
10:04
yard line where he should have just handed the ball off to
10:06
Marshawn Lynch. Everybody knows that story.
10:08
This should have been the third Super Bowl the Seattle Seahawks
10:11
have won in almost 20 years, but it's their second.
10:17
And it's such a quick fashion with a new quarterback in his
10:21
first year, Sam Darnold, with the Seattle Seahawks.
10:25
This is a guy that had a lot to prove.
10:29
And I'm talking about Mike McDonald because Mike McDonald
10:32
has always been in the shadow of all the great defensive minds
10:37
that the Baltimore Ravens have had.
10:39
If you look at the success the Baltimore Ravens in the in the
10:42
past has had and defensive coordinator, if the defensive
10:45
coordinator that it became head coaches, including Rex Ryan with
10:49
the New York Jets, he's always going to be looked at as, Oh
10:52
well, anybody could have. Anybody could have played called
10:55
the defense over there with the Baltimore Ravens with the talent
10:57
they've had year in and year out.
11:01
But ever since he left and he took over with the Seattle
11:04
Seahawks, the Seattle Seahawks that were falling apart.
11:07
Their offensive line had so many woes when Pete Carroll was there
11:11
quarterback position, even though Russell Wilson was
11:13
competent and was an elite quarterback at some points of
11:16
his career, had problems with the locker room, didn't get
11:19
along with teammates as we've heard in the past.
11:22
How many times have we heard Richard Sherman go out there and
11:25
say that Russell Wilson is not a likable person.
11:27
Marshawn Lynch came out and said that a ton of teammates over the
11:31
have said that Russell Wilson wasn't a likable person in the
11:34
locker room and always thought he was bigger and better than
11:37
practically every single player on that team.
11:40
This team was brought together through the draft and through a
11:45
lot of players in in in their pasts with different teams that
11:50
weren't successful. I look at so many guys that have
11:56
jumped ship from the Cowboys, from the Giants, from The Jets,
12:01
multiple teams from the Patriots and and went to the Seattle
12:05
Seahawks. Even some draft stock and draft
12:08
picks like Cross and Walker and Nejigba.
12:15
It took time for these guys to develop Nejigba.
12:18
He's been there a couple of years.
12:20
He wasn't the number one guy. He was actually behind Locket
12:24
and the big mouth who's now playing in Pittsburgh.
12:29
It's been a big problem because Nijiba was always a superstar
12:32
coming out of Ohio State. He was a high draft pick.
12:37
He kind of fell in the draft because a lot of people thought
12:39
he was too small and his ability to run routes might not work in
12:45
the NFL. And a lot of people were wrong
12:50
and you needed the right guy to take over for this team.
12:53
And when Pete Carroll obviously got let go, they needed to bring
12:56
in a young, energetic personality that has that
13:01
ability to control the locker room.
13:05
And that's what Mike McDonald did this year.
13:07
You can see the players followed him in every kind of way.
13:11
Even at the end of the game when they won the Super Bowl and
13:14
dropping that Gatorade, they made sure they were mixing the
13:16
Gatorade. How many players, how many teams
13:19
have we seen in the past actually mix the Gatorade before
13:23
they pour it on the coach? Seattle Seahawks, I've never
13:27
seen that before. They usually just two team mates
13:29
pick it up and splash the court. The coach?
13:32
No, they were mixing it for 5 minutes.
13:37
They're a unique team and a very young team and have a chance to
13:41
be a dynasty, especially in an NFC that's wide open and to
13:47
watch in the first Super Bowl for a lot of these guys deliver
13:55
the game of their lives. And I mean, they absolutely
13:58
delivered. And Myers, we could get into
14:00
what Myers did in the game, kicking 5 field goals and
14:03
breaking an NFL record. He was sensational.
14:05
Pisses me off. Another Jet that The Jets
14:08
decided to let go and let just obviously sign with Seattle.
14:13
The Jets have been looking after looking for a kicker for years.
14:17
Myers was the guy. They let him go to Seattle and
14:21
then they they go after Greg the legs and now the folk hero.
14:25
Every single year they're finding or trying to find a new
14:28
kicker when they had one. And Myers, who's been with
14:30
Seattle since he's left The Jets, and he played a big part
14:35
because we knew this was going to be a defensive game.
14:38
You have Sam Donald that's never been in a Super Bowl except as a
14:41
backup at the 49ers years ago. And you have a young quarterback
14:47
in Drake May who's 2223 years old, a little wet behind the
14:50
ears, no experience playing in a championship game ever in his
14:53
career. You have two coaches that never
14:58
coached here before. So going to the game, we knew it
15:02
was going to be defense against defense.
15:04
But overall, we knew that the Seattle Seahawks had the most
15:08
talent out of the two and you could see it early in the game.
15:14
You saw it early in the game, The playmakers, Nijigba digs,
15:21
they couldn't do anything early in the game.
15:22
And I told everybody what was going to happen.
15:26
Whoever finds the holes, the running game, that finds a way
15:31
to take over is going to win the game.
15:35
And we knew early that they were going to hand the ball heavily
15:39
to Walker. And Kenneth Walker did not
15:41
disappoint. He was 100% healthy throughout
15:44
the playoffs. He was so elusive and so
15:46
explosive all throughout the playoffs, including the week
15:50
before, well, two weeks before against the Rams.
15:55
When you have a running back that good and a lot of people
15:57
question Walker when he was drafted in a second round, Some
16:00
people thought he was drafted a little too high.
16:02
We've seen this before with Seattle.
16:04
How many running backs have they drafted in the past that have
16:06
failed? Remember, Penny never really
16:09
never developed into the player they thought he was going to be.
16:14
And then they they drafted Chabernay about a year and a
16:18
half ago and, and they've had a good 1-2 punch and Walker and
16:21
losing Chabernay. There was a lot of questions if
16:24
they can get more elusive with Walker and more explosive with
16:29
Walker and use him as a every, every back type of running back.
16:33
And and to me, what Walker did since Charbonnay has gone down
16:38
was amazing. He was the the number one
16:41
offensive option throughout the playoffs.
16:44
Yes, Najiba is a great weapon to have, but teams know the balls
16:48
going to him. They, they, they find a way to
16:51
double team and put somebody under him.
16:52
Safety's under him. And you saw that in this game,
16:55
Nick Jigg, but did not have an explosive game like a lot of
16:58
people thought he was going to have.
16:59
And that has a lot to do with Christian Gonzalez.
17:01
We all know how good Christian Gonzalez has been all season
17:04
long. This guy's an all pro player.
17:06
I think in the next couple of years we're going to say that
17:08
Christian Gonzalez is one of the top three corners in the NFL if
17:12
he can stay 100% healthy throughout the season.
17:17
But that was the problem it early in the game, in the first
17:21
couple of plays, you saw the Patriots actually could run the
17:25
ball. Romanje Stevens was running the
17:27
ball. They gave the ball a couple of
17:28
times to Henderson, but not enough to Anderson.
17:30
And I think that was the problem throughout the game.
17:33
They had a guy like Henderson that could catch the ball in the
17:35
backfield. He was a weapon.
17:37
They knew they didn't have a lot of weapons, especially at wide
17:40
receiver. They had to use those type of.
17:43
And by the way, Booty, who Jabba absolutely loves, did absolutely
17:47
nothing in the game, Absolutely nothing.
17:50
And that that's because of the the talent and the secondary.
17:54
And I think that this secondary of the Seattle Seahawks was even
17:58
better overall than the Legion of Boom, the young talent that
18:05
they have. And when the Legion boom, Legion
18:07
of Boom was at it's top, top rated, top team, top defense in
18:12
the NFL. These guys were young.
18:14
Camp Chancellor was young. Thomas was young.
18:17
Richard Sherman was young. Who's the other player?
18:19
Brandon Browner. Brandon Browner.
18:20
And there was another one. Jeremy Lane was Jeremy Lane.
18:24
I left five of them. Camp Chancellor was probably the
18:27
oldest one in. The secretary didn't play long
18:29
after they won the Super Bowl. But what I'm saying is is this
18:34
is young, Woolen is young, E man is young.
18:40
They have the ability to be this good for the next couple of
18:45
years and they're under contract.
18:48
Who's going to argue that Seattle's not going to be the
18:50
favorite to come out of the NFC again next year?
18:53
They're going to run it back again.
18:55
All these players are practically under contract and
18:58
they got draft stock and they've got money to spend in the off
19:01
season. And Mike Frabel had no answers
19:06
to Walker, had no answers to the offensive line that played
19:09
sensational all game long. They practically protected Sam
19:13
Donald. How many times did he get sacked
19:17
to what Drake May was getting? Drake May was getting hit by
19:20
every clip. Hall was hitting him, they were
19:23
getting they were hitting him in all different directions,
19:26
bringing up the safeties, bringing up the corners.
19:30
It was a great, great play calling game by Mike McDonald
19:34
and his coaching staff. Sam Donald didn't have to be
19:37
great. He really didn't because what
19:42
they were doing on the running game, in the running game and
19:44
how Kenneth Walker was running the ball and using every single
19:50
part of that offensive line to his disposal.
19:54
There was no way. The New England Patriots, who's
19:57
one of the best run stopping teams in all of the NFL, as we
20:00
heard Foyer Luiken saying last week, well, they're the second
20:03
best, but nevertheless top three.
20:06
They could not stop Kenneth Walker.
20:09
They could not stop him from quarter to quarter.
20:12
Kenneth Walker. Kenneth Walker got more
20:14
confident and started just finding the scene everywhere on
20:19
the football field. And no matter what was going on
20:23
defensively, with a guy like Gonzalez, who was stopping, he
20:26
was shutting people down. Nick Jigbaugh.
20:28
How many times did he bat the ball away from Jackson Smith?
20:31
Najigbaugh, who's one of the hardest players to play
20:35
one-on-one with? Well, Christian, Christian
20:38
Gonzalez was doing that all single game and that's why they
20:42
were trying to shit. If you did not, if nobody
20:44
watched the game, Nijiba was moving all over.
20:47
They moved him in a slot. They move them on the outside,
20:49
they move them on the inside. They tried to do so many things
20:51
with Nijiba and Gonzalez didn't have to move to the other field,
20:55
but every single time the ball was going to Nijiba, Gonzalez
20:58
was, Gonzalez was in that realm. He was waiting for the ball to
21:03
go to Nijiba and again, it was it was cat and mouse throughout
21:10
the game. In the second-half, you thought
21:11
that Mike Frabel was going to come out with a better game
21:13
plan, figure out ways to protect Drake May, maybe use Drake May
21:18
in some running patterns and, and, and what what more running
21:21
plays like they did against the Broncos in the snow And that
21:27
just didn't happen. And I'll tell you this, Seattle
21:30
had such a great game plan. What they did was most of the
21:33
time, except probably later in the third quarter, in the fourth
21:37
quarter, they kept Drake May in the pocket.
21:40
They believe that if he could keep in the pocket, Drake May
21:42
was not going to beat them on the outside.
21:45
They were He was not going to over over overpower their
21:48
secondary or their linebackers. And like I said, Hunter Henry
21:53
had to play dividends to this team, especially the problem
21:56
with Seattle AD all season long and stopping tight ends.
22:00
Hunter Henry barely got used until the fourth quarter when
22:04
they get it was over. So you you look at the insurance
22:09
and the outs of this game and I'll go back to Drake May.
22:12
I'm not taking shots at the kid. I was talking to the bee's
22:15
father and I said everybody keeps talking about Drake May
22:17
how great he was all season long.
22:19
Who did he beat? And then you see him in the
22:22
playoffs. He he probably had the worst
22:25
playoff front to the Super Bowl we've ever seen.
22:27
A quarterback half, an MVP candidate half.
22:30
Did you ever see Patrick Mahomes at at any point of his career as
22:35
an MVP candidate slowly but surely back into the Super Bowl?
22:40
We never saw that Jalen Hurts do that.
22:42
Never. Joe Burrow, Never.
22:46
Matthew Stafford never, and I'm going to say this.
22:51
He's still young and the Patriots are young team, no
22:54
question that they are. But the Patriots got to go into
22:57
the offseason wondering where do they go at wide receiver?
23:00
They they're not very good at drafting them as we all know in
23:03
the past. And if they think that Booty is
23:07
the guy, he's their go to guy next year.
23:09
That's that's ridiculous too. They had Jacoby Myers.
23:15
They could have signed him. Myers was better than Diggs,
23:19
He's better than any one of the guys that they had on that
23:22
roster. And again, that's not my
23:26
argument that the Patriots couldn't do anything.
23:28
But they were out coached. And by the way, I got a bone to
23:35
pick with the NFL committee on why they decided to go with Mike
23:39
Frabel, Mike McDonald as the coach and coach of the year.
23:43
When what we saw at Super, I said speedy and we were talking
23:47
off air. I said we're going to see who
23:49
really was the coach and assistant coach of the year.
23:53
Because what we saw on the Seattle Seahawks sidelines was
23:56
complete dominance. Complete dominance throughout
24:00
the game, the play calling, even a defensive side of the ball,
24:05
the the way they were disguising their safeties and their blitz
24:08
packages was sensational. It really was and even at the
24:14
end of the game, Mike McDonald was not giving them any
24:17
freebies. He made sure that they weren't
24:20
going to get a freebie in the end zone.
24:23
That says a lot about him as a coach.
24:26
Even that when they went for the two point conversion, when when
24:29
they scored their first touchdown and Mike Frable put
24:32
his hands up to two points, I said good luck.
24:37
I think what Mike McDonald has brought to the table for the
24:40
Seattle Seahawks and I want to give a shout out to Schneider,
24:43
who's been as good of AGM as anybody we've seen in the last
24:47
past 20 years the success and in the transition from quarterback.
24:53
Remember, he drafted Russell Wilson and over the years
24:58
they've tried to make moves and and draft quarterbacks in the
25:01
later rounds and he's failed to find them.
25:03
Quarterbacks are not easy to find in the draft, but he's the
25:08
one who took a flyer on Sam Donald.
25:10
Say whatever you want, he took a flyer on him.
25:12
He gave him the three-year, $100 million contract.
25:15
Minnesota didn't. And I'm sure Minnesota is
25:18
punching and back handing themselves in the face after
25:21
watching what Sam Donald did throughout the playoffs.
25:26
So it it to me, you look at the coaching staff, you look at
25:33
ownership, trusting and Schneider to rebuilding his team
25:38
and how this team came together throughout the season in the
25:42
hardest division in football. When you have to play San
25:46
Francisco twice, the Rams twice, Arizona was not easy this year.
25:51
They had a very good defense. When you got to go through those
25:55
type of teams all season long, when the coaches know each other
26:01
just as well as anybody and to play as well as they did through
26:07
the opposing talent that they had to play through in the NFC,
26:12
Think about it. They were 14 and three.
26:14
They didn't lose. They lost three games the whole
26:16
season, the whole season. And those three games were
26:20
winnable games. They never got beaten down once
26:24
this year. Never.
26:27
Even when Sam Donald threw that three interceptions against the
26:30
Rams, that game was close. That's coaching guys.
26:38
When you talk about a young coach who's 37 years old, still
26:42
wet behind the ears, hasn't even hit his full stride, everybody
26:45
keeps talking about how how great John Harbaugh was.
26:48
How long did it take John Harbaugh to win his first Super
26:51
Bowl? Think about that.
26:54
And it wasn't even his team. This is Mike McDonald's team.
26:59
He helped put this team. He designed this team together.
27:06
That's what's making this story even more impressive.
27:13
And only time will see or tell where the Seattle Seahawks are
27:18
going to be compared to as the great teams of this era.
27:22
But I'm going to tell you right now with Devin Witherspoon and
27:27
Woolen E man, all that all everybody, every single hall,
27:32
all these young Nuosu Cross, everyone.
27:37
There's so many young players on his team.
27:39
Walker is still I know he's he's a running back and you know,
27:42
they don't last that long in the NFL.
27:44
What's he 2728 years old? Yeah, he's on.
27:46
Yeah, they're going to have to sign him this year because he's
27:48
at the end of his. Rookie.
27:49
They'll sign him. They have to now because Sharp
27:50
and he's hurt. He's 27 years old.
27:53
He's in the prime of his career. I think that Seattle has a
27:58
chance not only to repeat. They could be a dynasty in the
28:03
NFL, especially how bad the AFC is.
28:06
The AF CS really, really bad. I know going into the offseason,
28:11
you expect Patrick Mahomes to come back with a full recovery.
28:14
You expect the charges to be better.
28:15
Or do we? I mean, Baltimore has a new
28:18
coach. The Bengals are really on the
28:20
hot seat with Joe Burrow. Pittsburgh has a new coach.
28:24
Buffalo has a new coach, Miami has a new coach, The Jets have a
28:28
second year coach, the Patriots have a second year coach.
28:32
I mean, the AFC is withdrawn. Who do you have to worry about?
28:38
Sean Payton? And then Sean Payton is going to
28:40
trust and, and their backup quarterback once again this
28:43
year. If Bo Nicks goes goes down
28:45
again, they're going to go down just as quick.
28:47
And, and I will tell you this right now, the Broncos did not
28:49
look good. Even though they were 14 and
28:51
three, they were best team in the AFC.
28:53
They were up and down all season long.
28:55
They should have lost seven or eight games.
28:57
They got lucky every single game Seattle won this year when when
29:04
they were winning, they were dominating those games.
29:06
They weren't even close. And that's what the Super Bowl
29:11
was. It wasn't even close.
29:14
Yeah, there's a lot of things that you could get.
29:15
You look at the game planning for that definitely show that
29:18
McDonald was the better coach in this game by a long shot.
29:20
You talk about the comparison of the defenses, this Legion of
29:23
Boom versus this defense is very different now.
29:25
They both played a lot of zone. They played a lot of, like Jeff
29:28
was saying last week, a lot of Cover 6, a lot of Cover 4
29:30
concepts. But they had not defenders that
29:33
are in one spot, like they weren't playing.
29:35
Earl Thomas generally stayed in the same spot.
29:37
Richard Sherman generally stayed in the same spot in that Legion
29:39
of Boom. Devin Witherspoon does not stay
29:41
in the same spot. He was blitzing in all three of
29:44
his sacks in three different spots, covering guys in three
29:47
different spots all across the field.
29:49
M and Wari play can play a box safety.
29:52
He can play back in coverage. And if they played him in the
29:54
box, they rotate a linebacker to go back in Ernest Jones or one
29:58
of their other rotational guys to play a deep zone where it
30:01
confused Drake May and confused Josh McDaniels all game long.
30:05
And same kind of thing with the pass rushers, too.
30:08
You talk about Nosu, Derek Hall was 1/3 rotation guy, but they
30:11
put him in all different spots in the line.
30:13
They put Leonard Williams outside sometimes and they still
30:16
got really good interior pressure way.
30:18
This is a much more creative defense overall than what Pete
30:22
Carroll had with the Legion of Boom.
30:23
Just on the scheme concepts and you talk about it.
30:25
They have a lot of guys that are free agents too coming over from
30:27
all their teams. Like the defense was a lot of
30:31
like missing pieces from obviously the Giants and The
30:33
Jets, the Ernest Jones came from the Rams and also from the
30:36
Chargers. Teams like that, where is the
30:37
offense is kind of the opposite where you have a lot of outside
30:40
of Darnell, you have a lot of the homegrown guys on the
30:42
offensive side. And it's really impressive the
30:44
type of team that Seattle was able to put together because
30:46
usually those types of teams that are built in free agency,
30:48
that's why I wasn't as high on them this year.
30:50
At the beginning of the year. They usually take two or three
30:52
years to get going. They were talented.
30:53
They were high. DVO 18.
30:55
There's a reason a lot of people thought him as a playoff team.
30:57
But they all did work right away is extremely impressive.
31:00
And then on the Patriots side, yeah, Mike Vrabel did not look
31:02
like a Coach of the Year finalists in that game.
31:05
Well, think about this Speedy before the season started, I
31:08
think there were there were plus 3000 for both these teams all
31:13
together was like almost like 6000 or 7000 that both these
31:16
teams were going to the Super Bowl.
31:17
Yeah, the Patriots were going to be the biggest long shot since
31:20
the Rams in 99. And then the Seahawks, yeah,
31:23
we're not far behind that either.
31:25
It was definitely a big combined.
31:26
I mean, if you bet on them early in the season, you probably won
31:29
yourself a lot of money. And and the fact here is it,
31:32
it's very, very impressive for both coaches to make that run,
31:35
especially in the AFC. Again, if Buffalo was in the
31:39
Super Bowl, I think Josh Allen would have given given that that
31:43
game a little bit more of a better matchup.
31:45
Because I think Josh Allen, if his back was against the wall,
31:48
he was going to air the ball out.
31:49
He would have used his legs. Drake May got scared early in
31:52
the game and he should be because the offensive line, a
31:54
young offensive line was getting dominated.
31:57
They were getting dominated the whole game and, and even when
32:01
they were trying to keep the the line close and, and even when
32:04
they were trying to shift and, and try to throw the ball, they
32:07
couldn't pass block. They were using so many
32:10
different schemes and blitz packages.
32:12
How many times did we see Witherspoon get in on a blitz
32:15
pack? He was until Walker went off in
32:17
the second-half. He was on track for MVP.
32:19
He was all over the place. It was unbelievable.
32:21
And and they were attacking Julian Love the whole game, the
32:24
whole game. And that cost him.
32:27
That cost him in the fourth quarter when they were trying to
32:30
he was trying to force the ball up the middle and he and Julian
32:33
Love intercepted the ball. But they kept all game long
32:37
attacking him because he was the weakest at that corner position.
32:41
And they were moving him in the slot many, many times in the
32:43
whole game. Early in the game they were
32:45
attacking. It was a working and then all of
32:47
a sudden I think Julian Love in the second-half kind of got got
32:51
comfortable and eventually position himself right and he
32:55
made some big plays, a lot of big plays.
32:57
Yeah, a lot of zone coverage. I think he was better and they
32:59
were trying to get. Him in by the way, that was the
33:01
next time. Yes, I know, as is Leonard
33:03
Williams and Julian Love was missing some tackles in space.
33:06
The Patriots did a good job putting either Stevenson or
33:08
Henderson catching the ball in space and they were exposing
33:11
him. But then Mike McDonald adjusted
33:12
and they put him either as serving as like a middle
33:14
linebacker, A lurking safety or a deep zone.
33:17
And he played a lot better. Obviously got an interception in
33:18
that game. I want to go back to what you
33:20
were saying though with with the Patriots in their offensive
33:21
line. They were struggling all
33:22
postseason long. It was a big reason why their
33:24
offense was really not the same great.
33:25
Did they face some really good pass rushes with the Texans and
33:27
the Broncos, But still the Patriots offensive line got
33:30
badly outmatched. And this is the biggest thing I
33:31
will criticize Drake May for is I don't think you saw
33:33
adjustments to his blitz reads either.
33:36
It looked a lot like Daniel Jones in the beginning.
33:38
He had problems against the Broncos and again it was snowing
33:42
and it was a different kind of weather.
33:44
It was very windy. It was beautiful out in San
33:47
Francisco. I think the weather was like 60
33:49
something degrees, so it was great weather to play football,
33:51
but that's not an excuse. Again, I'm going to go back and
33:54
forth with what we saw Drake May in early or early in the season
33:59
to later in the season. As the season progressed and
34:02
this team, the Patriots, started playing better talent and more
34:07
exclusive top end teams. Drake May was not as good as he
34:11
was against those weak teams like the Browns, like the
34:14
Bengals, like The Jets. Even early in the season against
34:17
the Jaguars, they, he did not look good even in game #1 when
34:21
they played the Raiders, remember, they played the
34:23
Raiders in the first game of the season.
34:25
They lost that game in Las Vegas.
34:27
And people were questioning the Patriots and how bad they look
34:30
throughout the, you know, throughout that first game of
34:33
the season. But things started to slow down
34:36
for Drake May and he looked more confident as a quarterback and
34:39
was up for an MVP. But I'm going to tell you this
34:41
right now. If you look at his schedule next
34:43
year against all the number ones and they were, they were posted
34:46
up. Do you think there were a lot of
34:47
people saying, do you think the Patriots are a playoff team or a
34:50
contending team next year? My answer would be no.
34:53
If Drake made plays against contending talent like he did
34:58
this year, there's no way this team goes to the playoffs.
35:01
No way. Yeah.
35:02
And yeah, I don't have his numbers.
35:04
And I'm going to find I'm going to look up his numbers against
35:06
the the elite of elite teams, teams that were playoff or
35:10
borderline playoff teams. I bet you they weren't good.
35:12
Yeah, his pre snap reads. I don't think we're very good
35:14
with even judging for the blitz. You can only do so much against
35:17
Seattle's pass rush as it was their offensive was playing
35:19
banged up. They got out of match.
35:20
You especially saw on the interior rush too.
35:23
Seattle had a lot of trouble. But I think the difference was
35:25
Drake May did not read those blitz pickups very well, whereas
35:28
Sam Darnold, Sam Darnold got a lot of pressure on the inside.
35:31
They were saying like Milton Williams probably should have
35:32
had four sacks in that game. He was getting a lot of pressure
35:34
on the interior. He had two sacks last year with
35:36
the Eagles when they won the Super Bowl and played very well
35:39
in that game too. But Sam Darnold's quick
35:40
adjustment game was a lot better on those interior rushes than
35:43
Drake Mays was. And I don't think like you were
35:45
saying before, I don't think Mike Vraybel compensated for the
35:47
biggest things they had to do. And Josh McDaniels designed runs
35:50
for Drake May. For one thing, he had 37 yards
35:52
rushing. Like, maybe design more runs for
35:54
him, and maybe that gets more pressure and makes Seattle
35:57
overthink their defensive game plan.
35:58
And then there might be holes for them.
36:00
And then use the tight end. They didn't do that enough,
36:02
either. And Stevenson had barely any
36:04
volume in the second-half. Like, it's one thing that, yeah,
36:07
he's going to have a tough time running against the top, top
36:09
five rush defense. He had trouble statistically
36:12
last week against the Broncos, too, but did still do very well
36:14
with the second efforts. Like, where is that in their
36:16
game? They just went away from it.
36:18
And I just think, yeah, Mike Vrabel and Josh McDaniels
36:20
definitely will be scratching their heads a lot with that
36:21
offensive game plan. So.
36:23
I was going to go but we got joined by Jabba.
36:25
What's up, man? What's going on?
36:27
No, it's been a whirlwind, man. It's getting things done.
36:31
Obviously. We had opening weekend with
36:33
Carter. Now my my Huskers, they had
36:36
their last scrimmage today and I was talking to pitching coach
36:38
and he's like, come on, get down here.
36:40
And I'm like, all right, well, when it calls, it calls.
36:43
So get them off to Arizona. Actually, their first game is on
36:48
MLB Network, so that'll be cool for the boys.
36:52
But yeah, you were talking about Drake May though, like he had 37
36:56
yards. But legitimately it came like
36:58
most of it came on that one when he actually read and used his
37:02
legs. And it just and I was driving
37:06
for 3/4. So I was listening more so than
37:09
I was watching. And so it's it's interesting
37:14
hearing it instead of seeing it. And that's kind of a different
37:22
anomaly for me because it took me back old school and like I
37:24
was with my dad in the car and we were listening to like
37:27
baseball games. And it makes you like love the
37:30
game in the, the atmosphere that they create when people are
37:35
listening to a game. But honestly, like it was tough
37:39
to listen to because there was no excitement.
37:41
Like there was nothing to it where because I hate to admit
37:46
this, but I did have it on the iPad and it was on, but I had
37:50
SiriusXM on the radio. That's what radio is for is like
37:53
excitement and whatever. And like I said, I didn't get to
37:56
watch it for 3/4 and then I got to watch the last last quarter.
38:01
Jabba, you didn't miss anything. A kind of book from.
38:05
But yeah, from the sounds of it, it doesn't sound like I did.
38:10
But it was just like looking at the stats and stuff this morning
38:14
and reading over all the notes that the NFL sent over and and
38:18
it just, it was, it seemed like it was very mundane and just
38:22
kind of just like as the commercial that showed up me.
38:27
I will, I will say this and and I watched the commercials.
38:30
The commercials were pathetic and I I heard that the
38:32
commercials were even more than they have been over the last
38:36
couple of years. I think a mini commercial cost
38:38
almost $10 million. Thirty mini commercials were
38:41
about 8 and a half million dollars.
38:43
It's ridiculous. What obviously the sponsors and
38:47
these advertisers are willing to go out there and pay for some of
38:50
them were cool. I'm not going to lie, I like the
38:53
Cheers one with all the different sitcoms they they.
38:56
Were together. What did they call that?
38:58
Something Duncan or something. Goodwill's Goodwill something,
39:01
yeah. Goodwill Duncan.
39:03
Yeah, that was that was cool. Ben Affleck was in it.
39:06
So it was cool. It was funny.
39:07
Because one of my sponsors. Yeah, so they're.
39:09
Giving away free coffee. You enter that in.
39:12
I got my free coffee from them. Yeah, so that was cool.
39:15
I mean, the commercials were interesting.
39:17
If you didn't see the commercials, they have a whole,
39:19
you go on YouTube, they'll they'll put it all.
39:21
They put it like, what do they call that montage?
39:23
A montage together where you can watch one at a time or put them
39:27
all together. They put them all together as a
39:29
montage. But it was the Super Bowl wasn't
39:32
something that really was something to remember.
39:35
And a lot of people would say it was one of the more boring Super
39:38
Bowls. And the last one we can remember
39:39
that was as boring was the Super Bowl with the Rams and the
39:43
Patriots where there was no offense and more people.
39:45
And I was watching the game with a bunch of people.
39:47
They said we're rooting for the Patriots because we want to see
39:50
this game get a little bit closer.
39:52
So their their backs to get so well, I'll say this, if the
39:54
Patriots came back in this game or it was even closer, I'd be
39:57
scared because we've seen this before.
39:59
The Patriots get back in the game, and they pull off some of
40:02
the most amazing. Amazing throws and amazing
40:05
catches that changed the pace of the game and and that that's
40:08
what happens. All it takes is a a charge of
40:12
that part of the game, especially in the fourth quarter
40:14
because we saw and I after that pick six, I thought the game was
40:17
over. And then Drake May got move the
40:20
ball down the field and and then Mike McDonald was yelling at his
40:23
team. He was yelling at the players on
40:24
the defensive side of the ball saying it's not over, it's not
40:28
over. You can read his lips, it's not
40:29
over. This is not going to be we're
40:31
not going to make this easy for them, but because again, the
40:34
onside kicks and anything can happen in the Super, anything
40:37
can happen in football. So I unfortunately it wasn't one
40:42
of those games that you're going to remember offensively, but the
40:45
dominance of the Seattle defense.
40:47
I'm telling you right now, this is better than the Seattle
40:49
Seahawks defense was when they won the Super Bowl against the
40:52
Broncos against that offense that I know that that that that
40:57
offense, that Broncos offense is one of the greatest offenses of
41:00
all time. And this Patriot offense was
41:02
not, but the way they dominated the ball defensively was
41:06
amazing. And, and, and the different
41:08
packages that, and by the way, there were packages they were
41:11
using in this game. They they haven't used all
41:13
season long. And that's to me, that shows you
41:16
how good and how talented of a coach Mike McDonald has been all
41:21
season long and how he drew it up to beat McDaniel.
41:24
McDaniel has been the mastermind of this offense all season long
41:28
and he's always been that guy that is going to find a way to
41:33
beat teams, teams and beat great defenses.
41:35
Well, he didn't find a way to beat this great defense in Super
41:39
Bowl 60. And that says a lot about what
41:41
what McDonald has done and what I believe he should have won at
41:45
the award show. And that is Coach of the year,
41:48
including Mr. Clint Kubiak, who's going to be the new head
41:51
coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. Yeah, Drake May.
41:54
I think the moment that ended, I think for him was the the
41:56
interception after the Patriots got a stop on defense.
41:59
It was 19 to 7 after the big play to Mack Hollins.
42:01
Patriots got a quick three and out after that.
42:03
And then Drake may hit a big play downfield.
42:05
I think it was the Hollins again.
42:06
And then he throws an interception right after that,
42:09
the one that threw right at Julian Lowe.
42:10
I think that was the. Big where do you think he under
42:13
threw that ball or do you think he kept running through the
42:15
route? Yeah, he.
42:16
Under throw it, he definitely. He forced the ball.
42:19
He he was completely shook by that point in the game.
42:24
It was bad. It was I, Errol, you said the
42:27
Rams game, I'm going to go back to the one that Seattle beat
42:30
Peyton Manning and the Broncos when they won that 112 years
42:33
ago, they just destroyed them. It wasn't close at all.
42:37
Now this score, the score is closer here.
42:39
But I mean, let's face it, this game was 29 to to 7.
42:44
You know, like this game was over on a pick 6.
42:47
I don't they're calling it a pick 6 because the ball didn't
42:48
hit the ground. But that was Devin Witherspoon
42:51
coming like a missile on a sack fumble taking back to the house.
42:54
The ball just didn't hit the ground.
42:55
So they're calling it a pick 6. Whatever.
42:58
They had 7 sacks. They were bringing pressure from
43:01
all over the place and I thought they were going to play, man.
43:03
They just came up with some of the most interesting zone blitz
43:06
games. Now, Speedy, you mentioned Cover
43:08
6 and Cover 4, but I think a lot of people don't realize there's
43:13
three different ways is to play Cover 4.
43:15
There's three different ways to play is the first way is you
43:18
bring 4 rushers, the second way is you bring 5, and the third
43:21
way is you bring 6. And obviously there's weaknesses
43:24
underneath when you're bring extra guys.
43:27
Drake May couldn't figure out where the guys were going to be
43:29
open until late in the fourth quarter when they were driving
43:32
and kind of probably making it easier trying to get him to eat
43:35
up clock. He beat Bullen.
43:37
He wasn't ready for the play and he wasn't set.
43:40
And then he got beat on a deep ball.
43:42
That was really the and May saw it.
43:44
You know, credit made for that one.
43:45
He wasn't set. So he just knew as soon as he
43:47
got his deep of him as he couldn't stay in phase, it was
43:49
over. And Hollins is a big guy.
43:51
He can high point balls, right? That that was the only real
43:56
offense they had. That touchdown was like a
43:58
desperation flick, you know, in garbage time to Stevenson, who
44:03
made a really cool play. I will say this also, Sam
44:05
Donald, especially in the second-half, he got comfortable.
44:09
He had that pass to Barner in the fourth quarter that I think
44:13
sealed the deal. He he was so confident.
44:16
Sam Donald didn't have to throw 300 yards in this game because
44:19
he had a Kenneth Walker running the ball all over the field and
44:22
completely dominating early in the game.
44:25
And you can see the offensive line was pushing that young
44:29
defensive line of the Patriots. They were pushing them, finding
44:32
so many different holes early in the game.
44:35
And Kenneth Walker is so elusive.
44:37
He was spinning, he was stopping.
44:39
He was he was finding, he was gelling through the hole.
44:42
It was unbelievable. He was just it.
44:44
It was impossible to stop. Impossible.
44:47
You know what he was doing the most of Errol?
44:49
He was doing this like they were running zone left.
44:51
Like just like a regular inside zone to him and he would cut it
44:54
all the way back to the backside gap because he knew Jackson,
44:58
Smith and Jigba was going to occupy 2 guys or they were going
45:02
to play two over him and or Gonzalez would be pressed up on
45:05
him and he would just run away from that route.
45:07
So now you can cut it back because there's no one there to
45:11
make the tackle. Because they had to worry about
45:12
Smith and Jigba even when he wasn't getting the ball because
45:16
they had to keep Gonzalez on Shaheed because Shaheed was the
45:18
deep threat. They couldn't just always put
45:20
him on in Jigba because they're going to put him in a slot.
45:23
They found ways to get him open. He had 10 targets.
45:25
He only caught 4 balls. He got the concussion, probably
45:28
had one. They still let him come back.
45:30
You know, it's a Super Bowl, let's face it, you know, But I
45:33
know you're not supposed to say that with the.
45:34
NFL we're still going to bring him back as a decoy anyway.
45:37
They're just. It was more as a decoy.
45:40
He had his head pretty hard on the ground, you know.
45:42
They also they also cranked his ankle too.
45:46
I mean, at this point of the season, ever I.
45:48
Thought it was an Achilles problem because when they pulled
45:50
him out and they were testing they were looking at his ankle,
45:53
they were grabbing his the back of his calf, which is where the
45:57
Achilles is. So I was worried that he he tore
46:00
his Achilles or partially I was. Wondering too because they said
46:03
he was the one that made a decision to go to the locker
46:06
room. Yeah, I mean, it could have been
46:07
cramping in the in the calf though too.
46:09
You know what? I.
46:09
Mean, I didn't know that. I mean, we don't know.
46:11
We don't know how to read lip. No, I'd say we don't know.
46:13
The thing that I thought was the most interesting thing about
46:16
this game game is the run game of the Patriots was supposed to
46:19
be how they won this game. And you mention it, Rob, Andre
46:21
Stevenson, he looked like it a couple of good runs early and
46:24
away from it. They got away from it and they
46:26
had to get away from it because they were behind and they got
46:30
away from it too soon. Will Campbell, left tackle.
46:34
I mean, we talk about. It horrible.
46:37
He's a liability out there. I was watching some of the
46:40
online expert guys dissect what he did.
46:42
There was some good things he did which were more like certain
46:47
past sets he's really good at, but a lot of them he doesn't get
46:51
set because he doesn't know what move to choose.
46:54
And DeMarcus Lawrence just took it straight to him.
46:56
That was why they they kicked their ass.
46:57
They only had to bring 4 guys and then he got to pick oh on
47:01
3rd down, let me bring this exotic blitz.
47:03
He won't know how to stop it or they'll have to put Stevenson on
47:07
my best blitzer and he's not going to be able to stop it.
47:09
And that's what they did all game and it was just as soon as
47:13
they got the third down, it was over.
47:16
I mean, they got they only got away.
47:18
Think about May like you should be able to scramble on four man
47:21
rush. You should be able to.
47:23
And he wasn't. He was not.
47:26
They weren't spying him, they were just playing good old
47:29
fashioned football and trusting their lineman to play discipline
47:32
to keep him in the pocket. He was a deer in the headlights.
47:34
Him. He was a deer in the headlights
47:36
the whole game. And you could see that he was
47:37
uncomfortable early in the game and he was forcing the ball.
47:41
He was trying to throw the ball away because everywhere he was
47:44
looking there was somebody up his ass.
47:46
He was running inside and out of the pocket.
47:48
And what I thought Seattle did so very well was keep him in the
47:52
pocket, make him throw the ball, make him try to beat him with
47:56
his arm. And they knew that he couldn't
47:58
with the talent that they had. And Stefan Diggs, the whole game
48:01
was talking crap. And everybody was saying, I, I,
48:04
I know in the fourth quarter there was something going on in
48:06
sidelines and. Well, yeah, job started that, so
48:09
Diggs was retaliating. Yeah, but what was Diggs doing
48:12
throughout the game to to to start with Job?
48:15
I mean, the whole game he was talking crap.
48:18
Even before the game when they were doing the corn flip and he
48:21
was out there in the middle. What was he saying?
48:23
You could read his goddamn lips. The guy, the guy's a
48:26
troublemaker. That's what he is.
48:28
And he was only out there. I think he was only out there to
48:31
be a decoy because he did nothing on the football field.
48:34
How many catches did he have? Two, 1-2 and they were both
48:37
later in the game. I mean, he was horrible.
48:39
He was the one catch and digs it too.
48:41
And they have, and I'm going to tell you this right now, the the
48:43
weakness of the New England Patriots is their wide
48:45
receivers. That's not an excuse for Drake
48:47
May because we see quarterbacks over the years get to the Super
48:50
Bowl with lesser talent. So I don't want to hear that
48:53
from the Patriots fans. Well, look who he's throwing to.
48:56
Hey, if you're an elite quarterback and you're VP MVP
48:58
candidate, you said that about Tom Brady.
49:00
We've said that many, many times about quarterbacks over the
49:03
years that have made it so far. I don't want to hear that.
49:06
Drake may have nothing to throw to.
49:08
He had players. He just couldn't get the ball
49:10
over there. He doesn't have a number one
49:12
guy, but there are a lot of teams.
49:14
Did Josh Allen have a number one guy all season long?
49:16
He didn't. There are teams out there that
49:19
don't have #1 guys. That's not an excuse.
49:21
So Drake May, you're an MVP candidate.
49:23
You got to go out there and make plays no matter what if you want
49:26
to be considered an elite quarterback.
49:28
Yeah, as Tom Brady was. Yeah, wasn't the argument that
49:31
you and the Beef had a while ago, Wasn't the Beef's main
49:33
faces of Tom Brady didn't have receivers to throw?
49:36
You should see what the beef was saying throughout the game.
49:39
The whole game, I think he was rooting for the Patriots.
49:42
He was. Like I got what the beef?
49:44
This is the beefs deli. We got some scenes from the
49:47
actions. There was no, I wasn't at the
49:49
deli, I was at his family's house.
49:51
There was some deli food. By the way, the chili made me on
49:54
a dump after, after I got home, I was on the toilet for like 4
49:58
or five times and throughout the morning.
49:59
So I got to say the chili was good.
50:01
Anytime you you're going to the bathroom after that, you know,
50:04
it's good job. You know all about the chili.
50:05
If it's making you go to the bathroom, it's burning a little
50:08
hole in the little tailbone over there, but.
50:11
But did you do chili and cinnamon rolls?
50:13
That's the key. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
50:15
no, no, no cinnamon rolls. Wrong with you guys.
50:18
What is wrong? With you don't knock it till you
50:20
try it. Come on, it's chili with
50:22
cinnamon rolls. The.
50:25
Oscars. Nebraska Delicacy.
50:28
Oh. My God.
50:30
Jabba. Yeah.
50:31
Chili with cinnamon rolls. It's unbelievable.
50:35
It'll change your life. It'll change your life.
50:37
Yeah, it'll also give me diabetes.
50:41
No, if you want a cinnamon roll, I ain't going to give you
50:43
diabetes. To have cinnamon rolls, you want
50:46
the sugar on it, right? You want that icing on it.
50:49
It gives it that nice. Little 1 cinnamon roll.
50:51
Oh dude, I don't have one. If I have one I have many.
50:54
I don't just eat 1 cinnamon roll I mean.
50:57
So you're not going to have multiple bowls of chili.
51:00
You're not a bowl of chili. Dude, I had like 3 bowls of
51:02
chili. I had three of them and, and I
51:05
was, you know. Just over the course of the
51:07
game, maybe no. I had them pretty quick, man,
51:10
And then I, I started burning a hole in my stomach.
51:11
I was like, I got to stay away from that stuff.
51:13
So I was in and out of the bathroom early, but I, I really
51:19
was, I'm not going to lie, but it was good.
51:21
I, I actually, I don't like hot stuff, but when it comes to
51:24
chili, I can eat it hot as long as it's not too hot where it's
51:27
burning the hell out of your mouth.
51:29
But I, I used to eat a lot of Haitian food when I used to
51:32
train with my friend when we did mixed martial arts, his mom used
51:35
to make this, this Haitian soup that was so spicy it you would
51:39
lose your, your taste buds when you eat it because you couldn't
51:42
even taste it. It was so, so hot.
51:44
I got so used to it was so good that now if I eat Hot Chili, I'm
51:48
actually, it doesn't affect me. So because I, I know what hot
51:52
is. But I to get back to what we
51:54
were talking about with the Super Bowl, I, I just thought it
51:57
was they were just completely outmatched.
51:59
And, and I expected that there was no way in hell that the
52:02
Patriots, Patriots were going to put up a fight with the way the
52:05
secondary was playing and the way the pass rush.
52:07
And by the way, in the second-half, they completely
52:10
smothered any kind of running game.
52:11
The Patriots had any kind of running game.
52:14
They smothered it. They didn't.
52:16
And I was very surprised, like you said, Fish Ramondre early in
52:20
the game, they they had some successful Ramondre Stevenson.
52:23
Why didn't they start to continue handing him the ball to
52:26
open up seams? So it opened up the throwing
52:28
game. It just made no sense.
52:30
It was terrible play calling by by Mike McDaniel.
52:33
If Josh McDaniels, Josh McDaniels, I think got really
52:38
schooled in this one. I think a lot of the blitzes
52:41
especially, he just knew how to target the types of protections
52:45
they were going to run. He just knew it.
52:48
And I think speedy, you tell me. I thought early in the game, I
52:51
thought it was real obvious that every time they blitzed there
52:56
was a certain check down that was going to be immediate or a
53:00
hot route that was immediately covered by Seattle.
53:03
They knew where all of the hot routes were in McDaniel.
53:06
Spygate Spygate 2 That's that's. The underrated aspect with with
53:12
one, just to get talked about as much on that defense with Ernest
53:14
Jones, he did that with the Rams.
53:15
It's cool film and I and they said that before the game and
53:19
they were doing like these like these stories about the coaches.
53:23
They did that thing about Mike McDonald and they were talking
53:26
about how he's like a film freak and that he watch his old film
53:30
and new film and he studies it. That's why I think Mike
53:33
McDonald, just one of the best defensive minds right now in the
53:35
NFL is he watches film. He he understands how he's going
53:40
to play against McDaniel and how he's going to play against all
53:43
the elite offensive minds in the NFL.
53:45
And I think he just completely smothered Josh and and Josh had
53:49
no answer from the from the first half to the second-half.
53:52
And you, like I said, that's when you know, that separates
53:56
the, the, I believe the elite teams to the secondary teams.
54:00
I don't think the, the Patriots are an elite team.
54:03
I as much as I, I saw them to be very successful this year and
54:08
throughout the AFC. The AFC is so weak.
54:11
And even next year, unless there's the AFC like juices up,
54:15
like Buffalo gets a little bit better and Baltimore adds some
54:18
defensive playing and maybe they they get the right defensive
54:22
coordinator. Do you think the the regular
54:24
season, obviously their strength of schedule is obviously one of
54:26
the worst ever? Do you think that played a huge
54:28
part? 100 percent, 100% because I said
54:31
it going into the playoffs that we're going to see what Drake
54:34
May is and what he's made of because he hasn't played against
54:37
the elite offenses in the AFC. And we saw it, I know it was, it
54:43
was snowing throughout the playoffs and, and there's no,
54:46
but there's no excuse. Drake May just was not as good
54:49
as he was throughout the first, what, 12 games of the season.
54:53
At the tail end of the season, he wasn't playing as well as he
54:56
was early in the season. And that says a lot about the
55:00
strength, the schedule. And and again, that's why I
55:03
think next year we're going to see how really good Drake May is
55:06
going to be because he's going to play against the best teams,
55:10
the number one seeds in all of the conferences.
55:13
So we'll see. And Java, that's another reason
55:14
too. We've seen a lot of NFC West
55:16
teams in the Super Bowl over the years, too, because they've
55:17
always been a really competitive division.
55:19
And they, outside of Arizona, who went to O 8, all the three
55:24
of those teams made multiple Super Bowls recently because
55:26
they're used to that kind of thing.
55:27
Now, obviously, you can say the same thing with the Patriots
55:29
making it a lot with Brady and Belichick, but that's because
55:31
they had to buy a lot of the time.
55:32
They weren't competing in an easy division.
55:34
Now, Brady and Belichick, yeah, Drake May got a easy ride
55:38
basically with what they had to play, but they weren't.
55:40
He was not ready for a pass rush like this or a defense like
55:42
this. Thing about this for a second,
55:45
they didn't have to go through a playoffs in the AFC this year
55:48
with Joe Burrow in it, with Patrick Mahomes in it, or Lamar
55:51
Jackson. And right, they didn't have to
55:53
face any of those 3 elite quarterbacks.
55:56
And they have to play Josh Allen because Josh Allen lost the week
55:58
before. And they didn't have to face
56:01
Josh Allen. And Josh Allen beat them in that
56:04
rubber match earlier in the season pretty decisively, I
56:07
thought. So to me, they this was their
56:11
real chance because they're going to have those teams are
56:13
going to really ante up. You expect them to be back and
56:16
it's going to be hard to go through them unless Drake may
56:19
really levels up from where he is now.
56:21
It's a great effort. They said that he was banged up.
56:24
I'm sure we'll hear about some kind of, you know, hand or foot
56:27
surgery or some bullshit like that that he's probably has to
56:30
get. Just look at the end of the
56:31
season, no matter how easy the schedule was, you play 20
56:34
football games, you're not feeling 100%.
56:37
You know what I'm saying? Like at best, you're 70 at best.
56:40
And there's no way after playing after getting hit as much as he
56:43
did in that Super Bowl, he feels anywhere near that.
56:46
So I I think that it's going to be real hard for them to come
56:49
back. The Seahawks, though, I think
56:50
Sky's the limit. You're right, man, this
56:52
McDonald's, he's he. I loved watching him right at
56:58
the end when they showed him on camera.
57:00
I'm. Just looking at everything.
57:01
Just kind of like, I feel like he had like a checklist in his
57:04
head because he's a coach. He's like, remember to take it
57:07
all in, you know what I mean? Like and he just made sure that
57:10
he he looked up and he watched all the confetti come down.
57:14
The guy deserved every single. Second, he also went before the
57:17
game when everybody, all the media was interviewing him and
57:19
they were asking him questions about, you know, himself.
57:23
He didn't want to give himself any of the compliments.
57:26
It was all about his team and, and, and telling and, and
57:29
telling the media that if we didn't have this guy and we
57:31
didn't have that guy, we wouldn't be where we were today.
57:34
And, and, and he, he had so many great raving, you know,
57:40
emotional things to say about Schneider and how Schneider gave
57:43
him a chance to, to coach this team and give, get his first
57:46
opportunity as a head coach. And, and, and look at look at
57:48
what, where it's transitioned into it.
57:50
It's unbelievable. And this story is, is pretty
57:54
interesting because if you know anything about what McDonald did
57:58
and to get this position, he was like a he was like a towel boy.
58:02
His whole, you know, he, he has to move up.
58:04
Yeah, he was an intern, a towel boy, a water boy.
58:07
He. Almost quick football.
58:09
He was quick coaching. Yep.
58:11
So it is an interesting story when you, you, you think about
58:15
what it took and like, it's really his passion for the game
58:19
and the love for the game. When when you talk about how he
58:22
had to the ups and downs he had to deal with, kind of like, you
58:25
know me with, with radio and stuff like that.
58:27
It's an amazing story because you got to be passionate.
58:29
You got to love what you do and you got to believe in yourself
58:32
that you're willing to work to get to that next step and then
58:36
move up the chain and, and climb the ladder.
58:39
And that's what he did and that's why it's such an
58:41
impressive story. And he's still a very young
58:44
coach and has an opportunity to be as successful as we've seen a
58:49
lot of these dynasty teams over the last couple, you know, last
58:52
era of teams that we've seen in the past.
58:55
So this Seattle Seahawks team, this isn't the last time we're
58:58
going to see them this I'm sure of it.
59:00
And it probably we're going to see this, this team as an elite
59:03
team for the next 5 to 6 years because of the talent, the draft
59:06
stock that Schneider really starts to build.
59:09
And, and the guy knows how to draft.
59:10
If you look at his draft, he he drafts his draft start in the
59:14
third and fourth round. It's not really the first and
59:16
second round is where he dominates.
59:18
It's his understanding on how to find guys in the 3rd, 4th, 5th,
59:22
6th and 7th rounds because he has hit on a lot of those guys
59:26
and some of them became Hall of Farmers.
59:28
So we understand what he's capable of doing.
59:31
And then bringing guys. He was the one that brought in
59:33
Marshawn Lynch from Buffalo. Remember, Marshawn Lynch was not
59:36
drafted by Seattle. Schneider was the one that made
59:39
that move to bring him in. Schneider also was the one that
59:42
brought in Matt Flynn. He made a mistake with Matt
59:44
Flynn, but he hit a home run when he hit Russell Wilson and
59:47
you know, in 3rd in a third round.
59:49
So, but he hasn't been. And again, finding quarterbacks
59:52
are not easy. We've said this many, many
59:54
times. And he's that was that that's
59:56
been his his problem over the last, I would say the last five
1:00:00
or six years when they decided to move away from Russell Wilson
1:00:03
is finding that guy that's going to replace him.
1:00:05
So I think he found him. Sam Donald is a young guy.
1:00:08
He's 28 years old. He was the youngest quarterback
1:00:10
drafted in the NFL history with the New York Jets at the age of
1:00:13
19. And I think he's got a
1:00:15
tremendous future with the Seattle Seahawks team with a
1:00:17
great offensive line, great defense and a great coach.
1:00:20
I I think that the Sky's the limit for this team.
1:00:23
Speaking of the fact, Errol quickly they mentioned a stat
1:00:27
after the Super Bowls won Schneider 12 years apart with
1:00:32
two different completely different rosters, not a single
1:00:34
player on the roster from the first run.
1:00:37
There's almost nobody who's ever done that as a general manager.
1:00:41
Nobody's ever done, you know, like now there's plenty of
1:00:43
general managers that one had two different runs, but not in
1:00:47
the same place like that. The fact that he was able to
1:00:50
completely recreate it with obviously with the vision and
1:00:53
make Donald in this roster build, but he's he's somebody
1:00:56
that if they win another one with this group, they're going
1:01:01
to talk about that guy for the Hall of Fame in about a decade.
1:01:03
He's a Hall of Famer already. There's no question that he's a
1:01:06
Hall of Famer. And by the way, where did Snyder
1:01:08
come from, Speedy? I actually don't know.
1:01:10
The Green Bay Packers. I don't know either.
1:01:12
The Green Bay Packers. So oh.
1:01:15
With you know what else is cool about Mike McDonald?
1:01:18
Maria Taylor gave him the trophy and they went to high school
1:01:21
together in Georgia. Wow, that's interesting.
1:01:25
Yeah. Anyways, that's it for our show,

And what I pay attention to is thanking all the people that

1:03:23
listen to us and downloading us and, and just listening to the
1:03:26
craziness or whatever the hell is going to come out of our
1:03:29
mouths because we don't really know.
1:03:30
This is not scripted. We just kind of go, we kind of
1:03:33
have a, an, an outline of what's going to happen.
1:03:36
We don't know if it's going to really happen, but no, just
1:03:39
appreciate everybody, appreciate all you guys and your time and
1:03:42
the hard work that everybody puts in and it's going to be a

Like, like Jabba says this, this show is not scripted.
1:04:29
Everything we do is off the head.
1:04:31
We don't know what's going to happen.
1:04:32
And that's what makes us unique. We don't have people talking to
1:04:36
us in our, you know, our ears giving us information before we
1:04:40
speak. You know, it's, it's really just
1:04:42
off the cuff. And that's what makes the the
1:04:44
show very unique. And that's what makes us
1:04:46
interesting to listen to. So thank you to all the fans and
1:04:49
