WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.279 Funny Tuesday afternoon with one of the best to ever 2 00:00:02.319 --> 00:00:05.160 do it at the University of Utah, longtime NFL quarterback 3 00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:08.199 friend of the program. His name is Scott Mitchell. Scott, 4 00:00:08.199 --> 00:00:09.080 Happy Tuesday, sir. 5 00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:13.080 How are you, thanks, Bence. I'm doing great, and I'd 6 00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:16.679 love to still talk about the Super Bowl because it 7 00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:19.399 was It was very interesting, but really glad to be 8 00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:19.920 on a show. 9 00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:22.559 Appreciate the time as always, So let's get to it. 10 00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:26.000 You know, I don't love like the media cycle after 11 00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:28.079 a Super Bowl where it's like, what does this mean 12 00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:29.320 from a home's legacy? 13 00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:30.519 He lost a super Bowl? 14 00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:32.759 But I do want to ask you what sort of 15 00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:35.439 questions Jalen Hurts answered with that performance. 16 00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:38.039 I like him, I always have. 17 00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:40.719 I think he's a winner, and it felt like they 18 00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:44.280 were rushing the football with intent this season because they 19 00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:47.159 have a running back that is generationally special and Jalen's 20 00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:50.560 also very good with his legs to limit some turnovers 21 00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:52.079 and so he took a lot of heat because he 22 00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:54.920 has great wide receivers, but the numbers weren't always awesome. 23 00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:57.280 So let's start with the Philly side of things in 24 00:00:57.359 --> 00:00:59.640 Jalen Hurts and what questions you think he answered with 25 00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:00.679 that's football MVP. 26 00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:04.840 I've always been a big fan of Jalen Hurts. I 27 00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:08.920 love how he handled all of the challenges in his career. 28 00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:11.359 You think back when he was at Alabama and lost 29 00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:13.920 his job after winning a national championship. I mean, he 30 00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:17.319 lost his job at halftime of a national championship and 31 00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:20.200 he stayed there and he held his head eye And 32 00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:22.000 that's not an easy thing to do. I mean, you're 33 00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:25.120 an athlete and you've been out there and you lose 34 00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:27.680 your jobs. It's about the worst thing that could happen 35 00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:29.879 to you. And he handled it so well. A lot 36 00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:31.359 of guys that quit, a lot of guys that go 37 00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:34.799 to another program. He graduated, he goes to Oklahoma, and 38 00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:37.840 then he's drafted as more of a novelty. He's drafted 39 00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:42.280 like as the next iteration of Tatsum Hill. He's just 40 00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:45.680 like Swiss army knife type of players. So I don't 41 00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:47.959 think I don't think the Eagles even said, oh, we 42 00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:50.519 really look at this guy as our franchise guy. And 43 00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:53.400 he played himself into it because he wasn't very good. 44 00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:55.959 He wasn't at throwing the football, I wasn't accurate at all, 45 00:01:56.519 --> 00:01:58.359 and kind of the same thing with Tatum Hill, and 46 00:01:58.599 --> 00:02:00.920 Tatum Hill tried to be a quarterback and just could 47 00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:03.640 never do it. He was just He's an awesome player. 48 00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:05.439 I'd love to have Taysom Hill on my team because 49 00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:07.200 there's so much he can do with him, but not 50 00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:12.080 as my quarterback. And Jalen Hurts has really done a 51 00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:15.599 number on his and really grown as a player throwing 52 00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:18.560 the football. You know he can run, you know that 53 00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:21.159 he's competitive, you know he's a winner, you know he's tough, 54 00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:23.639 But you got to throw the football in the NFL 55 00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:27.159 consistently if you're gonna get to that next level. And 56 00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:29.520 he somehow did it. And I don't know, because I'd 57 00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:31.240 like to sit down with him and find out how 58 00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:34.639 he did it, because so many guys don't and can't. 59 00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:37.400 And I mean Tim Tebow is another guy that was 60 00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:40.879 kind of this dual threat type of player and winner 61 00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:43.719 and all that stuff. But Tim Tebow just couldn't throw 62 00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:47.800 the football consistent enough to win it. And so when 63 00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:50.759 Kansas City, he just said in the Super Bowl, you're 64 00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:53.599 gonna have to beat this Jalen Hurts because Saint Quon 65 00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:57.719 Barkley isn't and we're gonna stop him. And I love 66 00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:01.159 the aggressiveness. I love to play to win mindset. I 67 00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:04.439 love that. Uh you know, he answered, he answered big, 68 00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:07.240 answered big running the football? He answered big, throwing it. 69 00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:09.879 He had an interception and he just moved on. You know, 70 00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:13.800 it didn't it didn't impact his play. He was definitely 71 00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:17.680 ready for the moment and and really elevated himself to 72 00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:20.199 to a different, a different level. And I just I 73 00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:23.800 love the guys that kind of overcome things, and I 74 00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:26.240 love the guys that are forgotten. I love the guys 75 00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:28.639 that you know, this is all about Patrick Mahomes in 76 00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:31.439 the in the Kansas City and their legacy and is 77 00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:35.080 now Patrick Mahomes kind of in that goat with Tom 78 00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:39.039 Brady conversation and Dalin Hurt says, you know, f you guys, 79 00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:41.080 I'm gonna go win the Super Bowl. And I just 80 00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:41.639 love that. 81 00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:45.680 So at what point, Scott, did you believe this thing 82 00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:48.639 was done? Because it felt like Kansas City got knocked 83 00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:51.280 to the canvas and never fully regained their footing, and 84 00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:54.159 when they did, they were wobbled. And I just, you know, 85 00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:57.639 I'm watching with my entire family and they're asking me like, 86 00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:00.520 is this over? You know, after Cooper did gets to 87 00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:02.800 pick six and then later on AJ Brown with a 88 00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:05.919 touchdown pass. It's twenty four to zero, and I'm thinking, 89 00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:08.759 you know, twenty eight three Pats Falcons come back. I'm like, well, 90 00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:11.919 it's possible with fifteen hunderd center and Andy's gonna do 91 00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:13.879 something at halftime because they always do. 92 00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:16.720 And that that momentum never came. 93 00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:19.839 Man, it really just didn't outside of small incremental spurts 94 00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:22.839 here or there. At what point, Scott, from your vantage point, 95 00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:24.439 were you watching the game and you went, all right, 96 00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:27.199 that's it, it's done. 97 00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:30.439 I knew it was gonna be tough for Kansas City 98 00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:34.000 all game long. And that defense is stifling and they're 99 00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:37.639 they're amazing upfront. I mean everyone talks about upfront, and yes, 100 00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:40.079 the games are one up front on both sides of 101 00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:43.560 the ball, and Philadelphia, you know, won the football game 102 00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:47.600 on both. But that secondary is very athletic. They play 103 00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:51.800 tight coverage. The linebackers are athletic, they flow, you know, 104 00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:54.399 and what they do is they just don't give you 105 00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:58.160 anything extra and they make you work so hard that 106 00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:00.480 you have to you have to be very perfe I said, 107 00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:03.040 what you throw and you have to be very patient 108 00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:06.000 and methodical and and uh and and Kansas City just 109 00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:08.720 never was that that team. And uh, you know, I 110 00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:12.279 think a lot of people don't appreciate how well that 111 00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:16.120 the Eagles tackle, and and I just I've been on 112 00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:21.360 teams with defenses like this, where like you just it 113 00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:23.839 is so hard to get anything on that defense. And 114 00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:25.920 I saw that right from the beginning of the game. 115 00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:28.439 I said, it is going to be a long game. 116 00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:33.240 And Patrick Mahomes has started slow pretty much in all 117 00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:35.360 of the Super Bowls he's been and Tom Brady even 118 00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:39.279 talked about starting slow. But where they didn't hurt themselves, 119 00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:41.560 they didn't turn the ball over while they were trying 120 00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:44.639 to figure things out. And as soon as as soon 121 00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:49.079 as Patrick Mahomes is throwing interceptions, uh, you could see 122 00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:51.160 the game was over. And and and then and then 123 00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:53.560 of course to me, that dagger was the was the 124 00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:55.879 pick six. It just it really took all the air 125 00:05:55.920 --> 00:06:00.439 of it because what happens is everyone sees different from 126 00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:04.720 Patrick Mahomes in big games than interceptions, and it's like, oh, 127 00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:08.319 he's throwing interceptions today. This is bad, right, So it 128 00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:11.560 just puts a really really bad thought and feeling and 129 00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:14.560 emotion in your head if you're a Kansas City fan. 130 00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:18.600 But before he's throwing interceptions, you could see he was 131 00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:23.079 never really comfortable in the pocket, and he's just because 132 00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:25.600 he didn't have to. He was like he was almost 133 00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:27.199 kidding to the end of his drop and then he 134 00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:29.680 was just scrambling and he was just he was just 135 00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:32.839 belling on it. And there were times where he could 136 00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:35.920 have bought enough time to get people open if he 137 00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:38.720 would move around in the pocket, but he was not 138 00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:42.560 good at feeling the pocket and staying in the pocket 139 00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:46.240 and throwing the second the one interception where the guy 140 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:49.399 kind of got bull rushed into him, if he feels 141 00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:51.240 that a little bit and he slides just to his 142 00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:54.839 right and then he makes the throw, it's a big play. 143 00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:57.480 But he just didn't have a sensor, a feel for 144 00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:00.879 the pocket, when to stay in, when to leave, and 145 00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:04.560 when to move around and just and it was it 146 00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:06.959 was kind of shocking to me, Spence, because because he's 147 00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:10.720 so good and he was really like very average and 148 00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:12.480 so much that he was doing in that game. 149 00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:15.839 Shocking is the right adjective, Scott, because I'm with you, 150 00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:18.279 I'm sitting there watching just shaking my head. What did 151 00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:22.800 so Prior to Sunday, Patrick Mahomes was eight to zero 152 00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:25.560 against Vic Fangio, which is pretty wild because Vic Fangio 153 00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:29.160 has made a living confusing opposing quarterbacks. And it looked 154 00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:31.959 like they were getting a tremendous amount of pressure with 155 00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:34.720 only four which opens up so many things that you 156 00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:39.240 can do defensively. But from your vantage points schematically on defense, 157 00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:41.759 what did Philly do that seem to have Mahomes on 158 00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:43.199 his heels all game long? 159 00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:47.839 Well, it was really the pressure and it was kind 160 00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:50.639 of how the pressure was coming is they were they 161 00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:53.600 were really kind of squeezing the pocket, you know, with 162 00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:56.759 a lot of like bul rushing and and he was 163 00:07:56.879 --> 00:08:00.120 flushing early and when you and they played a lot 164 00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:02.160 of tight man coverage and they played a lot of 165 00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:06.480 that coverage in all of their games when and so 166 00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:10.800 Patrick usually is really decisive about when he runs, and 167 00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:14.000 he was he was really trying to stay in there 168 00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:18.800 because they did two deep safeties and man under a 169 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:21.560 lot of the time, which is which is a very 170 00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:25.800 heavy pass type of defense. Like you're really trying to 171 00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:29.279 defend the pass when you do that, but the one 172 00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:32.519 vulnerable is the quarterback. Is no one's guarding the quarterback, 173 00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:35.159 and the safeties are deep, so you can run for days. 174 00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:38.679 And you just never saw that. So but when you 175 00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:41.200 play that tighte man coverage, it takes a little bit 176 00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:44.519 more time for guys to get open and he and 177 00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:47.240 he just wasn't willing to hang in the pocket long 178 00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:53.000 enough to let those routes develop. And and and the 179 00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:55.559 other part of it is you get man coverage spence, 180 00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:59.320 you pick a guy and you live with him, like 181 00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:02.080 because it's one on one. Everyone's got one on one coverage, 182 00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:04.440 So you just find the best, the guy you had 183 00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:07.000 the most confidence in, the guy you you know know 184 00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:10.679 can beat his his matchup. And and you just never 185 00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:13.080 saw that from Patrick and those because he could have 186 00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:15.200 gotten some of those throws off, he could have stayed 187 00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:18.399 in the pocket a little longer. And and then a 188 00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:21.120 lot of the routes were kind of vertical up the field. 189 00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:24.360 And and and you thah did this last season. Every 190 00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:28.120 every answer they had for man coverage was running down 191 00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:30.639 the field and you got to come with motion and 192 00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:34.240 bring people across the field, and uh, you know, it's 193 00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:37.279 it's a it's easier, which they did against Buffalo, and 194 00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:40.240 they didn't really do it against Philadelphia. And so it 195 00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:44.679 just it just was kind of Philadelphia, just the way 196 00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:49.000 they matched him up. And Patrick didn't really answer it 197 00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:51.960 with kind of staying in the pocket picking a guy, 198 00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:54.840 and he was just he just flushed way too quick. 199 00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:58.399 And it was because of that pressure and kind of 200 00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:01.080 that perceived pressure. You know, you started getting sacked and 201 00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:03.039 all of a sudden you're like, Okay, where's it coming 202 00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:05.440 from now? And you can't think that way as a quarterback. 203 00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:07.879 You just got to have a really bad memory of 204 00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:11.240 the past and just every plays a new play and 205 00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:13.600 you can't assume that the last play is going to 206 00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:16.159 be the next one, and so you gotta And it 207 00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:19.240 just felt like Patrick Mahomes, I mean, I want to say, 208 00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:23.559 the second series of the game, he was very uncomfortable 209 00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:24.159 in the pocket. 210 00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:26.440 So Scott, it's funny. 211 00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:28.200 I was just chuckling when I was doing a little 212 00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:30.799 show prep today, you know, cause a lot of people 213 00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:34.039 talk about Okay, well Lamar is twenty eight years old 214 00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:37.320 and Josh Allen twenty eight years old, Patrick Mahomes twenty 215 00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:39.720 nine years old. You know, those three dudes are often 216 00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:42.679 the guys you talk about is still in their twenties 217 00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:44.759 with a number of years of good football left to 218 00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:49.679 be played. Jalen Is twenty six, se Kwan's twenty eight, 219 00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:54.120 AJ Brown twenty seven, DeVante Smith twenty six. So like, 220 00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:56.799 we probably should have been talking a little bit more 221 00:10:56.840 --> 00:11:00.840 about Philly because they are good with most of their 222 00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:03.720 key players either in the beginning or in the middle 223 00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:06.639 of their prime. What are you willing to say about 224 00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:08.879 what you think they can be moving forward if they 225 00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:11.480 have you know, the right coaches, coaches in place, they 226 00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:14.360 have to replace their offensive coordinator, and of course you 227 00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:15.480 have to assume full health. 228 00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:18.159 But this roster is really good now. 229 00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:21.399 As a result of winning a Super Bowl, you lose 230 00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:23.840 coaches as a reference, and players want to get paid. 231 00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:26.200 But if we operate off the assumption that more or 232 00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:28.159 less this is the group that they run it back 233 00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:30.039 with next year, what are you willing to say about 234 00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:33.840 the potential of them maybe continuing to make deep playoff 235 00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:35.600 runs and maybe win multiple Super Bowls. 236 00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:40.320 They certainly went out because a year ago they were 237 00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:43.039 not very good defensively, and they got some guys through 238 00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:46.080 the draft, and they did a few they got the 239 00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:51.759 right pieces in place, and it changed everything for the team. 240 00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:56.000 And then they're healthy and they stay healthy and they 241 00:11:56.120 --> 00:12:00.159 have a great mindset where they really have bought into 242 00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:03.480 It's it's kind of a team concept. You know, Jalen 243 00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:06.240 Hurts is talking about all the other people, and everyone's 244 00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:10.240 talking about everyone else, and and so they they they 245 00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:15.279 don't have that typical what's in it for me? I 246 00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:17.799 want to get paid. I want to be the you know, 247 00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:20.000 they bought into the way we want a super Bowl 248 00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:23.679 was as a team. And you're a quarterback and you 249 00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:27.879 have a defense like that, it changes every how you play. 250 00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:32.720 You don't necessarily take shots that you don't have to. 251 00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:35.840 You can be more patient in what you do, and 252 00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:37.440 you have a great running back and you have this 253 00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:41.159 balance in in what you're doing. It's a lot like 254 00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:44.279 how Terry Bradshaw won four super Bowls with a great 255 00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:47.840 defense and they had a great running back. And I mean, 256 00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:51.120 it feels a very similar to that type of team. 257 00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:54.200 I'll just tell you I wouldn't I wouldn't bet against 258 00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:58.600 this Eagles team, uh in the future, because they know 259 00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:01.360 they've they've now won it, and they and they understand 260 00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:04.519 how to win it. And you have a quarterback that's 261 00:13:04.519 --> 00:13:07.799 really kind of risen to the the challenge of things, 262 00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:09.440 and you just have to. You just have to have 263 00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:13.320 that quarterback play at some point in a big game, 264 00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:16.080 in a big moment, and you were getting that. Now 265 00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:18.559 it'll it'll be hard, you know, because people try to 266 00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:22.240 figure out what they're doing. It's hard to repeat because 267 00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:24.080 everyone's now going to be gunning for you. I mean, 268 00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:27.039 people weren't looking at the They're looking at the Detroit Lions. 269 00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:31.279 They weren't looking at at Philadelphia, you know, this whole season, 270 00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:35.919 So that that'll shift around. And and you know, if 271 00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:39.159 if I was to say me personally today, who do 272 00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:41.480 I think the favorite to win next year Super Bowl? 273 00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:44.919 I would say it's the Philadelphia Eagles. And I hate 274 00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:48.480 the Eagles just so you know, I do not like 275 00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:52.159 that place. I cannot stand Philadelphia. I can't stand their fans. 276 00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:55.360 I've had really good friends who, you know, Doug Peterson 277 00:13:55.399 --> 00:13:58.519 who was the coach, and I was so happy for Doug. Uh, 278 00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:01.879 you know, I like the season those guys, and of 279 00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:05.720 course you know he was. But I just say Philadelphia, 280 00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:08.879 but they're probably the best team in the NFL right 281 00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:10.399 now going into next season. 282 00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:13.320 It could not happen to a worse fan base. You know, 283 00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:15.320 you want to be happy for fans to see their 284 00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:17.159 team win a Super Bowl. But I'm not happy for 285 00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:17.799 Philly fans. 286 00:14:17.840 --> 00:14:18.279 I'm with you. 287 00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:20.759 I've been to Philly a number of different times, and 288 00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:23.600 whether it's their football fans, they're basketball fans, they're just 289 00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:26.879 miserable people. What is it, Scott about sports fans that 290 00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:29.519 motivate people to burn a city after you win. 291 00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:30.960 I don't fully understand it. 292 00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:36.080 Yeah, it's it's a different breed of people, you know, 293 00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:39.720 I had. I mean, it's not the city of brotherly love. 294 00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:43.360 And of course when they're throwing snowballs and doing Santa 295 00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:46.960 Claus back in the day, you know that there's problems. 296 00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:50.679 I'll just tell I had family that went to games there. 297 00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:53.840 I played a playoff game there and I played about 298 00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:55.919 like Patrick Mahomes played in the Super Bowl in that 299 00:14:55.960 --> 00:14:59.360 playoff game, and my family had to leave, like they 300 00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:03.799 literally were afraid for their life in that game. It 301 00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:07.759 was so so bad. And that was back in Veterans 302 00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:10.679 Stadium when they actually had a jail and a judge 303 00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:13.120 that they would they literally put people in jail in 304 00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:16.120 the stadium. I mean, that's that's nowhere else in the 305 00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:19.759 United States, and it is. It's horrible. It's terrible and 306 00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:23.039 I I'm not a Philly. 307 00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:25.840 Fan, not now, I'm with you, Okay. 308 00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:28.039 On the other side, I think it would be a 309 00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:31.279 fool's errand to believe that this Kansas City Chiefs thing 310 00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:35.039 is done. Andy Reid coming back to coach, Patrick Mahomes 311 00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:37.120 coming back to play quarterback, and they do have some 312 00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:40.159 questions answer with their roster. It did feel a little 313 00:15:40.159 --> 00:15:42.879 bit like the Tampa loss. They just couldn't protect Mahomes. 314 00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:45.559 So they're gonna have to solidify that offensive line. I 315 00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:47.720 imagine they do, and maybe they come into camp with 316 00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:49.480 a healthy group of receivers and they don't have to 317 00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:52.279 wait for it. What are you expecting as a potential 318 00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:54.440 bounce back story from the Kansas City Chiefs. 319 00:15:55.559 --> 00:15:58.080 Yeah, I think that to me is like one of 320 00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:01.279 those fun things I like to watch, know because Patrick 321 00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:04.120 Mahomes said, I need to be better and and teams 322 00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:06.840 are playing me different and I got to figure out 323 00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:09.080 how to how to play against the way I'm being 324 00:16:09.159 --> 00:16:11.879 defended now and it's different than it used to be. 325 00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:15.759 And and you know, I look at Tom Brady where 326 00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:19.039 he he just he kind of went all in at 327 00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:22.360 the in the second half of his career, uh, with 328 00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:25.840 his his diet, his regimen, because so many people were 329 00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:28.440 just saying that the Patriot dynasty's over, you know, like 330 00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:30.879 at for Super Bowls, and they just kept winning and 331 00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:33.480 winning and winning, And a lot of it was because 332 00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:38.240 they they took kind of the middle of their run 333 00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:41.279 approach to we've got to we have to be a 334 00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:43.840 whole lot better, and we have to find a new 335 00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:48.039 edge and a new motivation. And and so I'm fascinated 336 00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:51.559 to see if Patrick Mahomes can do it. And I 337 00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:54.200 hope he can, because man, wouldn't it be fun to 338 00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:59.240 see Patrick mahomes game elevated, right, You're like, he's been 339 00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:03.519 really good. Can he take it to another level? And 340 00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:06.799 as a sportsman, you want to see that happens. I'm 341 00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:10.200 I'm curious to see if he'll be motivated by this 342 00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:13.440 and what he'll actually do, what he'll put his body 343 00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:17.039 through in the future, you know, And I hope so. 344 00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:19.039 And I think the same thing for Andy Reid. You know, 345 00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:22.480 maybe it's like, look there's still gas in the tank. 346 00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:24.640 I still want to do this. We've got to be better. 347 00:17:24.680 --> 00:17:27.839 I've got to be better. And a lot of times 348 00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:33.880 these losses can really propel teams and players to a 349 00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:37.200 new level and a different level, and we're the beneficial 350 00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:40.759 fisiaries of seeing greatness when that happens. 351 00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:43.839 I wanted to kick the tires with you and your 352 00:17:43.880 --> 00:17:47.319 thoughts as a former NFL quarterback that has made his 353 00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:50.519 way in the world of media, on your take with 354 00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:54.200 Tom Brady calling games now? Andrew Marshawn from The Athletic 355 00:17:54.599 --> 00:17:57.480 wrote a really interesting piece kind of chronicling in the 356 00:17:57.599 --> 00:18:01.839 negotiations between five and the Murdoch family and Brady because 357 00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:05.880 look for Greg Olsen. To me, he's my favorite. Troy 358 00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:08.079 Aikman does a great job, and you know, they all 359 00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:09.960 work their tails off and they're all prepped for it 360 00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:13.160 and all that. But I was disappointed not to see 361 00:18:13.200 --> 00:18:17.200 Gray continue on as that lead analyst. But look, Tom Brady, 362 00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:19.240 the brand of Tom Brady is the brand of Tom Brady. 363 00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:22.519 And one hundred and thirty seven point seven million people 364 00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:25.519 watch the Super Bowl and the majority of them probably 365 00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:27.440 knew who Tom Brady was, even if they're not big 366 00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:29.519 football fans, whereas a lot of people probably don't know 367 00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:31.319 who Greg Olsen is, even though I think he's awesome 368 00:18:31.319 --> 00:18:34.880 at his job. I thought it started out really rough 369 00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:37.440 this year, and honestly, I don't think he's great at it. 370 00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:41.319 Maybe he evolves and becomes better, but it seems like 371 00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:42.839 he's just And I'm not hating on him. They paid 372 00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:44.880 him three hundred and seventy five milk, go get your bag, 373 00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:48.000 But is he relying too much on his brand and 374 00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:49.400 not necessarily doing the. 375 00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:51.519 Work to be a great broadcaster? Want to get your 376 00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:51.960 take on that. 377 00:18:54.680 --> 00:18:58.200 So is someone who's gotten into this and one of 378 00:18:58.200 --> 00:19:01.519 the hardest things that I've ever done, and do his 379 00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:06.119 broadcast football games on the radio. You have a really 380 00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:11.759 small window to say something that's descriptive, intelligent and insightful, 381 00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:16.359 and you can't get wordy, and you can't pontificate for 382 00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:18.839 a long period of time like you have to, and 383 00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:21.279 and and you want to be entertaining, right, You want 384 00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:23.400 to you want to engage people, and you know, I 385 00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:26.200 always want to tell people what's happening and do it 386 00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:30.200 in a way that people can understand. But also, uh, 387 00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:32.960 you know, people want to listen to it. And I 388 00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:36.400 agree with you, you know, because I was really excited 389 00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:41.200 about Tom Brady broadcasting because no one has his experience 390 00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:44.079 and I just want to hear how he views the 391 00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:47.200 game and how he sees things. And that's as a 392 00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:49.759 as a former player, that's what I really want to hear, 393 00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:54.279 because nobody has his experience in in the in the NFL. 394 00:19:54.319 --> 00:19:58.119 Ever and and uh, you know, and and and I 395 00:19:58.480 --> 00:20:01.359 can kind of feel as pain little bit about him 396 00:20:01.400 --> 00:20:06.319 trying to really give people really insightful stuff, and he's 397 00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:09.359 still just a little too wordy with it, a little 398 00:20:09.359 --> 00:20:15.000 bit too you know, almost dry, almost forced, you know, 399 00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:20.079 And and it's almost like he's, you know, not super comfortable 400 00:20:20.200 --> 00:20:22.680 or relaxed with it. Will he get really good at it? 401 00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:24.880
