early Texas morning, like at four in the morning from Jimmy,
our program director, one hundred points some of the Tiger,
and he just was like, hey, I have these two
post Malone tickets and he's emailed them to me. So
I'm debating if I want to. I really want to
go see Posty and I don't want to have FOMO
from it. But I don't know if I can. I
don't know. I don't know if I can make it happen.
Speaker 5: As much of a debate, you have to take advantage
and take the postal oone tickets and go like it is.
It is destined that for your birthday you're gonna do
a back to back of Chris Stapleton and post One.
You cannot be like Anthony Davis or Cyon or Brandon
Ingram like your ass is playing on a back to
back a Laundree.
Speaker 4: I'm making the decision for you. You're going to post it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, it's been a long week. I'm kind
of like running off of adrenaline right now, so it
just I might. I'm I might.
Speaker 4: I mean Jake, I mean, think about Jake.

spit out on the other side of the galaxy.

The finish line can be Sunday morning.
Speaker 5: It's that poem that came into my life through the
movie The Gray, once More, into the Fray, into the
last good fight. I'll have them know, to live and
die on this day, To live and die on this day.
Speaker 4: Come on to Laundra. You can do this. Okay.
Speaker 5: Dinner's great, but it's not post malone free tickets that
came up at your birthday out of nowhere. Okay, Like
the universe is clearly telling you what must be done. Okay,
opportunities knocking, you have to step through that door.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think you might have just convinced me. I
just feel kind of bad because like I have reservations
and I'm gonna be like reservations canceled. Everybody, no dinner tonight, forget.
Speaker 4: About its day. It's your day.
Speaker 5: Yeah, hell yeah, Taylor.
Speaker 4: Taylor, do you feel a bit like I did Stepchild.
Speaker 1: Today or other days?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 5: Mainly today this week. I feel like you've you've you've
been stuck back there. I haven't been bullying you as
much because we're not in the same room all morning.
Are you sappy or sad that I haven't bullied you
to the extent that I normally do.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 8: I mean, look, happy birthday to a laundra, but I
will say when it was my birthday, Tea Bombs sent
me a text.
Speaker 1: A lot of people don't know this.
Speaker 8: Ti Bum sent me a text and said, unfortunately you
had to be born on a day, it might.
Speaker 1: As well be this one.
Speaker 8: So you know, this is a little bit of a
nicer birthday gift to a laundras. So uh, that'll that'll
suffice as the bullying for today, Taylor.
Speaker 5: What would be your equivalent of post malone that you
would be like super excited to get an email about
saying you had tickets to even.
Speaker 1: Though I've already seen him.
Speaker 7: Luke Combs, Yeah, yeah, I was gonna say somebody like
Luke Comb's Dirk's. Bentley felt like it was going to
be a good answer.
Speaker 1: Maybe big not a big billig love Eric Church, not
a big Dirks guy.
Speaker 7: Oh he feels like an Eric Church. You kind of
look like he to wearing sunglasses everywhere?
Speaker 4: Who sings redneck yacht Club? Is that Eric Church?
Speaker 1: And it's not Eric Church? Not Eric Church?
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, well you know I took a shot to
what do you have to do? Taylor didn't know.

super Bowl memories. My kind of sports consciousness came online
in that.

to Green Leaves and the cold sect that we grew
up at, and like we stayed at my friend's house, Rember,
my parents and like all the parents like went to
the they went to the Super Bowl and there's a
dozn hour kick return to Tony Freeman all of that,
And so I was like est with that that Packers
team for for like a year and a half or something.
You know, I had all the posters in my room,
Bret far Mark Jamar, everybody, we were talking about that.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 5: And then the Monday Night Football Club books came out
and the first one was about the kids switching bodies
with John Elway. Yeah, so I started to flirt with
the Broncos. Then all of a sudden, there's the rise
of Trell Davis, the new cool Unis.
Speaker 4: Colors and it was snaff Flash year yeo like that.
Speaker 5: If I was an adult at the time, who knows,
maybe it would have been a curmudget about it. But
as a kid, I was like, whoa dude, these are
like new tech space ag.
Speaker 7: The first ones that kind of had that yeah, oh
without a doubt and like that like weird, like like
kind of horn looking at yeah, coming up the side,
and so then I was like, okay, kind of like
the Broncos.

I think he was on with Hun as well, and I.
Speaker 4: Can't believe I missed at him.
Speaker 7: He sat down and his like feet weren't touching the
ground and he was making a joke about it, and
I was like, hey, man, it's good, like low Man wins,
You're good. And I just don't think he likes the
short jokes and it wasn't a joke. I'm like, look, hey,
you're good.
Speaker 4: No, probably not.
Speaker 5: I mean I remember Caitlin telling me to pick him
up back in the day when he was in town
filming Pitchford and we were partying together, and he got
like kind of pissed.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And now.
Speaker 5: I was also kind of like, I don't you don't
tell another man to pick another man up.
Speaker 4: Like he's a child to get out of here, dude.
I mean, we had fun, but I could tell like
after that, he's just like all right, I'm ready, Okay,

that's what he was doing.
Speaker 4: What. Yeah, it's like it's got.
Speaker 7: Like this chamber and you put a flavor in, you

live from Super Bowl fifty nine Radio Row in New Orleans,
presented by Low Bears, Casino Hotel, Baton Rouge.
Speaker 5: Shut out Labert's Casino Hotel and Baton Rouge for having
us out here. It's been such an incredible week, so
much fun. Last couple of weeks, Labert's sending us to
Mobile and now to New Orleans. We are live at
the Convention Center. It is the final day of Radio Row.
It's got increasingly crazy. See as the week has gone on.
I'll be very interested to see what ends up happening
over the rest of today, as obviously it is.
Speaker 4: The final day before.
Speaker 5: I don't know how many people watch Super Bowl hundred
million swiming along those lines. However, many people will watch
all the Sunday. It's probably more in that huh yeah,
gotta be.
Speaker 4: Here's what I'll say, though.
Speaker 5: You know what I wish would stop Super Bowl commercials
being leaked online by their companies ahead of time and
then still calling them super Bowl commercials.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 7: According to the Google Machine Sports Media watch, one hundred
and twenty two hundred and fifty thousand people watch Super
Bowl fifty eight.
Speaker 4: Okay, bro, I mean I was pretty even close to
close in America.
Speaker 5: I don't know that'd be tough, that'd be America. But
because it'd be like one of every three household.
Speaker 7: I think I wouldn't be surprised either way. Super Bowl commercials.
We had gosh Ron Suitor on from USA today and
he it's like somebody that like that's what he does
is like commercials, but so super Bowl.
Speaker 4: Like he's dialed in.
Speaker 7: Yeah, guess how much a thirty second commercial now cost
four million dollars?
Speaker 4: Eight point twenty five damn inventory point.
Speaker 7: Two five milli for thirty seconds.
Speaker 4: Unreal.
Speaker 7: No in the world do some of these places have
eight point twenty five million dollars? So going back to
Adam Devine, he's pushing the Circle water bottle. Yeah, they've
got a thirty second commercial I ain't never heard of
that looks like a great product. I don't know, how
do they have eight point twenty five million dollars?
Speaker 4: And you got to pay Adam. We need to make
square water bottle, it's our only home.
Speaker 5: Yeah, uh, I mean I'm guessing.
Speaker 4: I mean the rectangle probably. I don't think you want Square.
Speaker 5: If you like some sort of like venture capitalism. I
don't know that that's insane though. All right, let's talk
about the game, though, Jake, before he let you go,
uh we we we look. I feel as if there
is a very common refrain starting to form around this game,
and I want to know if you agree. Everybody seems
to saying that some of the canas the same constantly
would have been hanging out of them all week two?
Speaker 4: Is that? On paper?
Speaker 5: I think the Eagles are the better look like the
better team, probably a little more complete.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but Patrick Mahomes is Thanos and that.
Speaker 5: Is kind of like I hate to boil things down,
but like, you know, cliches or cliches for a reason. Yeah,
because a lot of times they are rooted in true
dot say they can't be exceptions and this sounds boring.
But I'm struggling to come up with a better read
because I happen to agree with that read.
Speaker 4: In the game.
Speaker 7: It's hard not to because you know, a big rad
on the sideline and fifteen in the backfield and eighty
seven out there playing school yard football.
Speaker 4: It's tough because.
Speaker 7: We have seen a playout so many times and look
the last time these two teams played in Super Bowl, Like,
Jalen Hurts was remarkable, over three hundred through the air,
three on the ground. It's like he did so many
things to win that game for his team. Now he had,
you know, a fumble that turned into a scoop and
score by Nick Bolton. That was kind of one of
the differences of the game.
Speaker 4: I mean, that was the one mistake one bad raps.
Speaker 7: But I'll say, like if I'm trying to go away
from that opinion that the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick
Mahomes are just inevitable, I would say where my math
does change is Saquon Barkley.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Right.
Speaker 7: We talked about it on Monday with Miles Sanders, who
was their RB one having sixteen yards in this game.
Saquon's gonna have sixteen by his second carrier. Potentially, he
is not only like a difference maker, he's a game changer.
So I can find a path for the Eagles with
their physicality and the ferocious defensive line and Zach Bond
being all pro and those two young corners not showing
any signs of youth all season long, and then at
those Saquon in there. I'm actually going to pick the
Eagles in this game. And that's why I wore my
green today.
Speaker 5: I mean, I'll say this, dude, one thing, if if
you just want to start to really grasp at arguments
to pick the Eagles, Kansas Cities kind of do right,
Seventeen one possession wins in a row and entire NFL
season's worth. There's all the stats about Mahomes, like we
talked about being like seven of seven in those clutch situations,
which which.
Speaker 4: The average is forty percent. Tom Brady was only six
the man seven of seven, Like, surely at some point
you are due for the math, Like you can only
defy the math. Gods. Yeah, for so long?
Speaker 5: Will this be that moment? Who do you thinks looks
better in the playoffs up to this point, like team
or quarterback or uh.
Speaker 4: Maybe give me both if you think that there's a
different answer.
Speaker 7: M at that's stuff with quarterback just because they haven't
asked Jalen Hurts to go, you know, necessarily takeover win
a game.
Speaker 4: I don't know he's got rushing touchdowns.
Speaker 7: But if you're talking about team, what the Eagles did
to the Commanders, and I know the Commanders, Oh, they
weren't really supposed to be there. Well, why they went
to Detroit, punched Detroit right in the mouth and won
that game by double digits. And so I think the Eagles,
look at what they did, I mean to the command
they completely dismantled them. And the Commanders had beaten them
the last time they played each other.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I think.
Speaker 7: For them to be able to bounce back, to have
the mental fortitude to be able to do that, and
all the you know things that were surrounding that team
really coming into this season, I actually think it's probably
the Eagles. Now, I think the Bills are better than
the Commanders, and so that game was closer. But the
Bills also, I mean, they they just have a mental
block when it comes to beating the Chiefs.
Speaker 4: They just they can't get over that hump.
Speaker 5: This is kind of interesting, Jake. After getting smoked by
the Bucks and barely beating the Browns, something clicked through
the Eagles and they didn't play in many close games after.
Speaker 7: Yeah, they won fifteen to sixteen after that, but and
and but listen to.
Speaker 4: The scores, and where I'm going with this is like, Okay,
we know that Kansas City has been the opposite.
Speaker 5: Every game's been closed, but every game they find a way.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 5: They beat the Giants twenty three, Bengals thirty seven to seventeen,
Cowboys thirty four to six. They beat the Comedies by Uh,
I guess it's only eight. They be the Rams by seventeen. Here, uh,
they beat the Steelers by fourteen. Here the Cowboys forty
one to seven. And then you look at the playoffs
and granted the Rams game is only six, but twenty
two ten Packers and fifty five to thirty.
Speaker 7: I guess what I'm saying is when Rams came back,
remember kind of at the end there.
Speaker 4: Actually don't I know, I don't remember.
Speaker 5: Remember I was watching an NFL Network game from week
one or like we two or three or something.
Speaker 4: You'd say, really something, you remember that game listening.
Speaker 5: But I guess the point is if it comes down
to a one possession game, that's probably really bad news.
Speaker 4: Far the barts as.
Speaker 5: Like that is where Kansas City three, They're perfect in
those situational spots and just frankly, well, the Eagles have
won some this year, it's not near to the extent
of kansasity. And then you gotta kick kicker like Butker
who's already done it before. I mean, that always weighs
very heavily in on these games. So that's another thing
that seems to be a part of the common refrain
is for the Eagles to win. You better hope you're
up nine with a few minutes left. That if you
you know, if if you're not up by more, by
by two possessions with a few minutes left, then then
you know you you are. You are setting Patrick Mahomes
up once again to do with him Andy Reid the
Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes do.
Speaker 4: So you're picking Eagles, I am. I think it's going
to be twenty four to twenty one something like that.
Speaker 7: I don't think he gets up to the thirty eight
thirty five territory that Super Bowl fifty seven did. I
just if I'm the Eagles and I'm killing Moore, I am.
I'm slowing everything down. I'm not becoming conservative, but I'm
slowing everything down knowing that I've got the best running
back in the world. I have a outstanding running quarterback
as well. I've got a really good tight end. So
the intermediate stuff is that's really where I can attack
I think Kansas City. And so it's okay, like, hey,
second and four is awesome, and we're gonna go and
then then we'll get to third and one and then
we're gonna push, push, and we're gonna get it every
single time.
Speaker 4: And I like, I would like these drives.
Speaker 7: If I'm the Eagles, give me nine plays, ten plays,
eleven play drives because that, to me, like the best
recipe against Kansas City has always been keep fifteen on
the sideline.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean that is And I was gonna say,
like that's how the Eagles have made their hay this year.
It's been with complimentary football, which first foremost starts running
the ball and then playing excellent defense.
Speaker 7: And hmmm, I believe if the line is still where
it was two days ago, is one and a half
chiefs last time I look too, Uh, this would be
the first time in the last three Super Bowls that
Mahomes would be favored. Oh wow, yeah, they were underdogs
actually by the time the closing line got there.
Speaker 5: See, now that's a little worrisome for the Birds then,
because because that feels like, like we said, Eagles better
on paper, blah blah blah. What about this in your
excellent football mind estimation? Does the fact that the Eagles
are not so pass happy and do run the ball more?
Does that take away at all from some of the
speaks Steve Spagnola's genius good question, or.
Speaker 4: Like, you know, does Jalen Hurt does?
Speaker 5: Is it still effective because Mabe Jalen Hurts doesn't handle
the blitz as as well when it does come.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and you know this just as well as I do.
Run blitzes can be a son of a gun too.
I mean this can really just you know, kind of
mess with your mind because you think you got everything
as well as you.
Speaker 5: Do, because I can't, like I'm saying, but you run
blitzing in college, it was just like you know, it
was there, but like.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but then you got into the linemen slanting because
you got down, down and around, and you know, all
of a sudden, you know, your your angles just kind
of change and the running backs read gets a little cloudy.
Speaker 4: Daytimes.
Speaker 7: I've stepped out to reach you guy and he stands
crubs with face and just fall over exactly. Are like,
you know, look, got to be at fullback, and it's
like I'm reading the three technique and all of a sudden,
the three technique is basically like right over the center
to snap the ball because he's slanting so hard and
you got to try to bounce it as fast as
you can. But you're so close to the offensive lineman
and you're trying to get around all these big bodies
because you know that linebacker scraping over the top and
that's your responsibility. And he's coming full speed going downhill.
You're going sideways trying to get to him, and it
can be, you know, a bad collision for you. So
just little things like that, like even if your lead
blocker it's not gonna be a full back now, but
you know it's going to be a tight end and no,
h Gray maybe kind of body the Chiefs have him,
And then I forget the secondary tight end there for
the Eagles, but like that's something they have to deal with,
like they have to get ready for things like that
and run blooded, so it won't be as effective. But
I'm sure Spags has because like he knows who he's playing,
He's got some of that dialed up that the Eagles
are going to have to adjust to.
Speaker 4: So I'm not going to overthig it.
Speaker 5: Here's the thing, Uh, everybody always told me when I
was having kids, and still tell you when you know,
when I tell them about six four and two, which
I've probably said eight thousand times this week.
Speaker 7: Might have just changed ages recently, Like a couple of birthdays.
I'm like trying to carry like you know.
Speaker 5: Jake's like Zach Galvinakis riding down the escalator and figuring
out the birthdays. But I guess the point is, like
everybody keeps telling me, you know, hey, man, don't blink, right,
you know, you blink and all of a sudden their
adults and and and you get it for so long,
but like no, but like you know, it's true.
Speaker 4: It's true.
Speaker 5: Like I said, cliches are cliches for a reason, and
so I'm going to be cliche and hackneyed and wrote,
and I am going.
Speaker 7: To choose the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl, and
I maybe some of mine is just projecting.
Speaker 4: Maybe I mean, give me anything. I don't know, and like.
Speaker 7: I don't, I honestly really don't kind of care, but
I would like it for something to be new, just
to change.
Speaker 4: It up a little bit. Uh, the Eagles feel like
a team.
Speaker 7: I appreciate how the Eagles look like they were about
to collapse completely last year and then we all kind
of just wrote them off coming into this year. And
Sirianni's not somebody we even really talk about a whole
lot like hand up, like over on Super Bowl Drive. Man,
I've talked a lot of Andy Reid. Yeah, his legacy.
Speaker 4: What does this mean? If he wins this game?
Speaker 7: Bill Belichick's got six, Chuck Miles got four, he would
be in rarefied air.
Speaker 4: I hadn't even talked about. I'm going to make a
very dirty confession.
Speaker 5: It's probably gonna just cut the knees out from any
actual point that I tried to make. I don't even
know where Syrianni's expertise lies. Is he an offensive guy
a defensive.
Speaker 4: I don't know where.
Speaker 7: I'll be honest with you, I didn't tell you, and I
don't even know where he came from before.
Speaker 4: I do not either. I do not either.
Speaker 5: I remember he had he had an awkward press conference.
He did some rock paper scissors metaphor. Yeah, and I
was a little worried. We knew it wasn't as bad
as Adam as Adam gases or anything, but we're still
a little freaked out.
Speaker 4: But all he's done is win.
Speaker 5: The only thing I know about Nick Sirianni is big Dom.
He got big Dom running security, eaton Connoli stuff. Guys,
is this an HR violation? Dick Condon taking mirror selfies
in the guarantee bathroom in short shorts?
Speaker 4: Is that that's questionable?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 7: And he also posted for people to see. Don't know
what's going on there. The consultants didn't.
Speaker 5: Need to try and relate more to the younger female audience.
Dot dot dot my new profile pick.
Speaker 7: That's not any of us anymore, younger. Yes, everybody thinking
they're talking to you know, Oh my god, I don't
know what offense because remember Gannon was his DC.
Speaker 5: Uh yeah, but I didn't I didn't know if like
was DC and Philly right, yeah yeah, yeah, but I
didn't know if it was still like you know, his side.
Speaker 4: Of the ball. I don't know it's correct.
Speaker 7: So you're saying like he didn't call plays, well, yeah,
I didn't know, like because we know Andy Reid, I
mean point Shane Stikeen was with him too, and Chane
did call plays.
Speaker 5: Dude, Look, Nick, I'm sorry about dispect. You bro win
a ring and nobody could ever say anything.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna start super Bowl Drive today talking about Nick Sirian.
Speaker 4: Hell yeah, dude, that's a good bit.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna do that, all right, guys. So final predictions,
there you go. Jake's got the Birds, I've got the Chiefs.
The think I'm most interested to see because Eagles fans
I've talked to a ton of him this week. They're
all terrified, to Patrick Mahomes. So if they win, they're
going to feel like they just survived like endgame where right, Like,
they're going to feel like they they threw the ring
into mountain doom. They've done the impossible. Will Eagles fans
riot in the city. I know Philly's gonna riot like
I go back home.
Speaker 4: They will?
Speaker 5: But are there enough of them here or will they
get shut down by law enforcement?
Speaker 4: Have we greased up the polls? Do not leave your
car out it flipped and burned? Yeah?
Speaker 7: I mean, you saw very interesting the championship game scenes
there from Philly also checking in at a fifteen year
old just said Sirianni was the colts OC casuals.
Speaker 4: Haha, let's go Jackson, that's I'm saying. But Jacks definitely
knows more. Oh dude, he does more NFL than I do.
We get it, bruh.
Speaker 7: You watch ball, you watch the NFL. Come here with
these college facts, Jackson.
Speaker 4: You can do it. Bruh.
Speaker 5: But you don't even know Western Illinois mascot bulldogs. I
had no idea, but my dad told me last night.
Speaker 7: The leathernecks, yeah, bulldog, those are a mascot. I think
leathernecks right, like the leather collar around the bulldogs.
Speaker 5: Y'all's ability to remember mascots is insane to me. And
like players bios, like teammates like or not even teammates
as people.
Speaker 7: Oh, before I get out here today, shout out to
my former teammate and Tonio Gates Hall of Fame Pro
Football Hall of Fame.
Speaker 4: I know you've got it in the rundown. You are
going to kind of go over the list.
Speaker 7: But Gates should have been a first ballot Hall of
Fame or how and the hell was he not leads
all tight ends and touchdowns? He should have been that
he changed a position in a lot of ways. And
I know Tony Gonzalez was before him, but Gates was
different than Tony Gonzales. He he ran better routes than
Tony Gonzalez. Now Tony was more of a blocker. I
get that, but Gates changed a tight end from what
it was to what it is now.
Speaker 4: Shout out to Tonio Gates. Hall of Fame.
Speaker 5: We'll get into the Hall of Fame as well as
the NFL Awards when we get back here on off
the bench. Off the bench, Hey, guys, go to All

Speaker 2: I'm broke, but I'm happy.
Speaker 3: I'm poor, but I'm kind off the bench with Hester
and T Bob Live from Super Bowl fifty nine Radio
Row in New Orleans, presented by Low Bears Casino, Hotel,
Baton Rouge.
Speaker 2: I'm saying, do you ever watch.
Speaker 5: I'm here on the Athletic dot com and I love
the Athletic, but I see By Jake Seally Best twenty
twenty five Super Bowl Commercials, ranking the abs, what are
we doing here?
Speaker 4: Is out yet surprise us?
Speaker 5: Give us something to watch during the Super Bowl and
then put them online freaking crazy. Proud of you a Lodger.
By the way, it's Lodger's birthday. Everybody be nice online
and wish your happy birthday. Uh he was trying to
do a charny in the rim shotw Loge's birthday is
a joke to U. K, Wow, that's wrong with you.
I'm proud of Lodger that she has canceled her dinner
as he's meaning, posty is on deck. Let's go back,
all right, guys, for the NFL Awards took place last night,
and Josh Allen took home the MVP. Now, he took
him the MVP despite not being named First Team All
Pro just a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 4: In fact, he.
Speaker 5: Became the third MVP since nineteen fifty seven and the
first in twenty one years to win MVP.
Speaker 4: Without being First Team All Pro. Now, he's a pretty
good company here.
Speaker 5: In nineteen eighty seven, John Elway won it despite the
fact that Joe Montana was named First Team. In two
thousand and three, Steve McNair won it despite the fact
that Peyton Manning was named first Team All Pro. It
was a very tightly contested race. Josh Allen ends up
with four more votes than did Lamar Jackson. And look,
he had an incredible year. He was the first player
in NFL history with at least twenty five touchdout passes
ten touchdowns, run fewer than ten interceptions, and his team
was very, very good. And I think what honestly helped
him because Lamar statistically he had a better year. But
I think kind of what push him across the finish
line was the narrative that Josh Allen was doing more
with less. Taite, I feel like you probably have a
little more passion for this conversation in the fight than
anybody in this room. Do you think that the NFL voter,
Because it's interesting, it's the same voters for All Pro
in MVP, and so that's why Lamar Jackson was yused
as a favorite coming in because they'd all just voted
Lamar Jackson's first team All Pro. Taite, do you think
that they got this right?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 8: I do, And to your point, it's it's the storyline, right,
It's like, hey, can Josh Allen cut down on the turnovers.
He absolutely did that with less talent than he's ever had.
It's very similar to last year with Lamar, because, honestly, cbub,
you and I had this discussion last year after the
NFL Honors. Brot Perdy finished second and his numbers actually
across the board were better than Lamar a year ago.
But what did we want to see from Lamar? Hey
can he be that pocket passer? Can he stay in
there deliver the ball downfield?
Speaker 4: And he did.
Speaker 8: It's almost like it's obviously a merit based award, but
it's almost like, hey, can he do what we've been
begging him to do. If they can do that, they
can finally get over that obstacle. Josh Allen did that.
I mean, look, the best quarter I said this two
years ago and I think it rains even more true today.
Patrick mahomes far and away best quarterback in the NFL.
But if you're asking me who the best player in
the NFL is in terms of the offensive side of
the ball, I think it's Josh Allen.
Speaker 1: Like the guy does everything.
Speaker 8: He's got speed to get to the outside, he's got
power to run up the middle, he can make every throw.
He might have the strongest arm in the NFL, like
Josh Allen continues to get better and better.
Speaker 1: I think the NFL got the trade.
Speaker 5: And so it's interesting because if you're talking about I
think I would answer that question you just asked with Lamar.
But maybe the biggest thing that Josh Allen has over
Lamar is although he doesn't have the championships, he's been
perfect in the playoffs statistically. He's literally like the best
of all time in the playoffs. Just can't manage to
get past Patrick Mahomes by no faults of his own necessarily.
It is crazy, though I don't disagree with you, but
it is crazy to think about the year that Lamar
Jackson had and then he goes home empty handed last night.
Now he got first team All Pro and when it
comes to getting in the Hall of Fame, the moral
pros you can stack like that. That's always a major,
major resume point for a gold jacket. But he did
not get Offensive Player of the Year. That went to
Saquon Parkley, which, of course right you want to honor
the year that Saquon Barkley had because I mean, it
comes Sunday, he's just thirty yards away for putting up
more rushing yards in a single season than any back
in the NFL history. He's on the edge of breaking
twelve days record comes Sunday, he could end up with
twenty five hundred yards in the season.
Speaker 4: You need to honor that and not just.
Speaker 5: Give awards to quarterbacks. So Sequon Barkley takes a Offensive
Player of the Year. What that means is Lamargo's home
empty handed last night and he threw for a forty
one hundred yards and forty one touchdowns. He became the
first player league history to have four thousand yards passing
nine hundred yards rushing in the same season, and his
one nineteen passer rating was fourth highest in NFL history. So,
like Lamar had, it almost reminds me of back in
the day when Matt Liner won the Heisman year one,
and then I think Reggie Bush won the Heisman year two.
But in year two, Liner had a better statistical season,
like his raw numbers were better, but I think he
had just won it. And Reggie Bush is also awesome,
And so there's also a little bit of like familiarity
where if you're Lamar Jackson, you've already won the award,
won twice. We're gonna give it to you again. You
have to be I guess you can't have like anybody
even in the same neighborhood. And Allen was in the
same neighborhood. He showed a lot of improvement. He was,
like Taylor said, he had, he had narrative on his side,
and so he ends up taking home MVP. Both guys
are awesome, though, both guys are absolutely awesome. All right,
when we get back here and if vins to the
rest of the NFL Awards last night as a former
Tiger cleaned up more Off the Bench coming up next, Off.
Speaker 3: The Bench, Off the Bench with Hester and t Bob
Live from Super Bowl fifty nine Radio Row in New Orleans,
presented by Low Barrish Casino, Hotel, Baton Rouge.
Speaker 5: Yo, what's going on, y'all. Welcome back to OTB Live
from Radio Row. Shout out to booweb Mean Cape Wise
and Rims Huey doing great on site work here.
Speaker 4: A lot has been killed in.
Speaker 5: The afternoon here, Taylor holding down the fourth back home,
we got Ross Jackson, everybody else hunt killing on Louisiana
Sports done that. It's been a great week here and
shout out to the mariage Keno Hotel about Rooths for
having us out. All right, so the NFL Awards, who
plays last night?
Speaker 4: We just talked MVP.
Speaker 5: But if you're listening to this show, chances are the
thing that you care about most is gonna be Jaden Daniels.
How about Jaden Daniels. He officially wins Offensive Rookie of
the Year. As once again, here it is once again,
Jaden just continues to.
Speaker 4: He's just on. He's on an all time heater man.
I mean, here he.
Speaker 5: Goes from two years ago being a pretty good quarterback,
like you could see the potential, but nothing overtly special.
He was supposed to be like a fifth round pick.
I think entering his season is what his draft stock was,
and well, he got better and better, better, continue to
climb and climb and climb. Then there's all of a sudden,
you know he well, then he takes home the Heisman
right with the most statistically dominant season that we've seen
since the seventies, really only Joe Burrow evecoming close two
said season. And then all of a sudden, think, oh well,
Jade Daniels be the number one overall pick. Now Caleb
william was always supposed to be the number one overall
pick and Jayden Daniels is like when you're playing Street Fighters,
second player hits the start. But a new challengers entered
the arena, and so a lot of debate started to
take place. Who should you pick, Caleb Williams Jaden Daniels,
who's more ready for the NFL? And I will say this,
there's a lot of career left to go. Who knows
where they eventually go. But at the same time, it
is inarguable that the Chicago Bears made the wrong choice
and that the Washington Commanders were the beneficiary of said
wrong choice. I mean, if you think about it and
again and again, Caleb Williams again. I'm not saying like
he's done, he sucks or anything like that, but they
both went into awful spots and one of them did this.
Speaker 4: Jaden Daniels took a four.
Speaker 5: And thirteen team and he flipped the script and made
them twelve and five. He won two playoff games, he
went to the conference championship. He became the first rookie
in NFL history to throw for more than thirty five
hundred yards and rush for more than eight hundred. Remember
we just talked about Lamar Jackson, who became the first
quarterback in NFL history to throw for forty and rush
for nine.
Speaker 4: Jayden Daniels is on the edge of that. And it's
only year one.
Speaker 5: The Commander's average twenty eight and a half points a
game this year. That's the most ever for a team
with a rookie quarterback. So in Jaydeen Daniels, it's not like,
it's not fluky, it's not one element. Here's a guy
who has all the stats to win Rookie of the Year,
has the wins to win Rookie of Year, like you know,
the actual results turn around, and has the intangibles, the moments,
the likability, the smile, the coolness with which he operates.
I mean speaking of he took almost second award at
the NFL Awards last night for a Hail Mary against
who the Bears.
Speaker 4: That's right, Caleb Williams.
Speaker 5: So so much debate took place during spring of last year,
Caleb Williams, j Dan Caleb of Jays Daniels. Here, we're
officially calling it. At least in year one, it wasn't
even close. And Jaden Daniels was the best rookie in
the NFL. I think that's where you can do in
the YouTube video too. But the look for what it's worth,
brock Bowers finished second, bo Nicks finishing third. Makes a
lot of sense there. Jared Verse talk about a good
draft for the La Rams. Jared Verse wins Defensive Rookie
of the Year. And how about this, he was the
Rams' first first round pick in eight years that they've
had because of moves and whatnot. But Jared Verse wins
the fifth Rookie of the Year. Quinnja and Mitchell gets second,
Brandon Fisk gets third. You're talking about establishing a core
that's gonna last few years. The Ram drafted not one
but two defensive line, one of the edge, one of
the interior that end up finishing first and third in
Defensive Rookie of the Year.
Speaker 4: Also put some respect on those FSU teams.
Speaker 5: Okay, when LSU opened with FSU three years ago, who
could have known what Jared Verse and Braden Fisk were
going to be. And last year when we were all
giving crapped Miles Frasier for talking about how fifty five
was good or telling me he was good or whatever. Again,
put some respect on Mile Fraser name because it turns
out Jared braid Fisk is very very good. And then
shout out to Joe Burrow man winning Comeback Player of
the Year, and I love this coach, he said, quote,
I wouldn't necessarily say this is an award you want
to be nominated for two times, but I'm proud of
the work I put in to come back from these.
Speaker 4: Injuries that I seemed to face every year.
Speaker 5: So shout out to Joe Burrow taking up Comeback Play
of the Year, Kevin O'Connell Coach of the Year, eric
I Rick Armsteat upsets Camp Jordan for Walter Payton Man
of the Year, Ben Johnson Assistant Coach of the Year,
and shout out to George Kittle who won this to
Service Award Force Supporting the Troops. Uh more Off the Bench,
Our one in the Books, Hour two Live from Radio
Row coming up next.
Speaker 4: Keep it locked on one O four five ESPN.
Speaker 2: Off the Bench,
