‘Checking in From New Orleans’ – Super Bowl LIX Part 2 | Defending The Kingdom

1
00:00:00,320 –> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: It has been a journey that really started minutes after

2
00:00:03,800 –> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: the end of Super Bowl fifty eight, immediate discussion between

3
00:00:07,760 –> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and other Chiefs about trying to do something

4
00:00:11,480 –> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: that had never been done before, and went back to

5
00:00:14,160 –> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: back to back Super Bowls and here we are in

6
00:00:17,640 –> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 1: New Orleans to do just that. And of course this

7
00:00:20,720 –> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: Defending the Kingdom episode, like them all brought to you

11
00:00:33,920 –> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: first I love you, Sama, JP run howeveryone. I’m at

12
00:00:38,720 –> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: Chelta’s Voice of the Chiefs along as senior team reporter

13
00:00:41,520 –> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: Matt McMullen. And yes, we are here just off Canal Street,

14
00:00:45,680 –> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 1: famous Canal Street here in New Orleans, the Crescent City,

15
00:00:48,920 –> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: the Big Easy, really an interesting historic city that the

16
00:00:52,960 –> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: Chiefs are trying to make history here and to win

17
00:00:54,680 –> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: Super Bowl fifty nine.

18
00:00:55,880 –> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 2: And this happens every single Super Bowl week, which on

19
00:00:58,360 –> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 2: its own is a fun thing to say because done

20
00:01:00,200 –> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 2: this a few times.

21
00:01:00,720 –> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 3: Think about what you just said.

22
00:01:01,880 –> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 2: I know I have to maintain the perspective. But we’ve

23
00:01:05,040 –> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 2: been here for less than forty eight hours, and it

24
00:01:07,440 –> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 2: feels like we’ve been here for a month with all

25
00:01:09,760 –> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 2: the stuff that goes on and all the people that

26
00:01:12,000 –> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 2: are here and all the craziness and kind of sifting

27
00:01:13,959 –> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 2: through it all. But yeah, it should be a great week.

28
00:01:16,160 –> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 2: And again, it’s pretty cool that we’re here.

29
00:01:18,480 –> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of stuff going on. We mentioned. I mean,

30
00:01:20,760 –> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: last night was crazy, but it’s always crazy and it

31
00:01:25,840 –> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: had its own craziness, but it was really cool. You

32
00:01:27,840 –> 00:01:29,559
Speaker 1: and I got a chance to walk in with the team,

33
00:01:30,200 –> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: which made it more special than any of the other

34
00:01:32,440 –> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: opening nights. But it was a feeling that I really

35
00:01:35,480 –> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: haven’t had before of seeing those guys walk in to

36
00:01:40,840 –> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: the Superdome and just the reception, but the look on

37
00:01:44,400 –> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: those our guys faces. And I had a chance to

38
00:01:46,920 –> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: talk to DeAndre Hopkins. I said, you’re getting to make

39
00:01:50,040 –> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: this walk, and you saw what he posted on social

40
00:01:52,840 –> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: which was really cool about keeping dreams alive. He came

41
00:01:55,120 –> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: from a small town in South Carolina, you know, a

42
00:01:57,080 –> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: single parent and all the reasons not to make it,

43
00:02:00,800 –> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: and I just told him, I said, you’re making this walk,

44
00:02:02,840 –> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: but you helped us get here. And then I saw

45
00:02:04,480 –> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt, same discussion. You’re making this walk, but we

46
00:02:08,960 –> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: wouldn’t be here without you, and so it was just

47
00:02:11,840 –> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: it was a moment that was really cool.

48
00:02:13,880 –> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 2: It’s kind of like the opening ceremony of the Olympics.

49
00:02:16,760 –> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 2: And what I like about it is we’re going to

50
00:02:19,400 –> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 2: talk all about like mitigating distractions and staying focused and

51
00:02:23,320 –> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 2: locking in on this football game, because that’s why we’re here,

52
00:02:25,680 –> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 2: is to play and to win a football game. But

53
00:02:27,639 –> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 2: the beauty of Opening Night, even though it’s like very

54
00:02:30,240 –> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 2: silly on the surface, is it lets the guys for

55
00:02:32,680 –> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 2: a couple hours embrace and enjoy the idea that they’re

56
00:02:35,440 –> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 2: at the super Bowl and to reflect on how cool

57
00:02:37,960 –> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 2: it is that they’re all here together and their journeys

58
00:02:40,240 –> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 2: have all led to this point. And for some guys

59
00:02:42,800 –> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 2: like Mahomes and Travis Kelcey and Chris Jones, they’re trying

60
00:02:45,800 –> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: to make history and trying to get their fourth ring.

61
00:02:47,639 –> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 2: But you’re right, for guys like DeAndre Hopkins or Hollywood

62
00:02:50,639 –> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 2: Brown so many others, this is the culmination of a

63
00:02:53,680 –> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 2: lifelong dream and it’s so cool you’re at the super Bowl.

64
00:02:57,600 –> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 2: And for guys like d hop I mean, you’ve played

65
00:03:00,480 –> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: a decade in the NFL. You’ve been at the very

66
00:03:02,480 –> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: top of your profession, but you’ve never had a chance

67
00:03:04,600 –> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 2: to do this, and now you’re here. And so yeah,

68
00:03:07,320 –> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 2: Opening night’s cool because you get to walk out with

69
00:03:09,840 –> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 2: the team, the whole thing is announced, people are yelling

70
00:03:12,400 –> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 2: and screaming, you get to talk to media from all

71
00:03:15,040 –> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 2: over the world. And while on one end, sure that’s

72
00:03:18,880 –> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 2: a distraction, on the other for a couple of hours,

73
00:03:21,800 –> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 2: it’s pretty cool that the guys get to fully embrace

74
00:03:24,160 –> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 2: being at the Super Bowl.

75
00:03:25,440 –> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: Which is why I retweeted what d Hop put on

76
00:03:28,440 –> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: social because I thought, no, it is striking right to

77
00:03:31,760 –> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: the center of his heart, the very thing we’re talking about,

78
00:03:34,320 –> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: and we hope that he would feel.

79
00:03:36,040 –> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 3: He’s feeling it.

80
00:03:37,120 –> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: Same with Kareem Hunt the day that he was dismissed

81
00:03:39,240 –> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: from the team and drove out of our facility. Who

82
00:03:41,280 –> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: thought that he would be here now? And again, we

83
00:03:44,680 –> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: wouldn’t be here without him.

84
00:03:45,840 –> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 2: No, and so definitely not.

85
00:03:47,840 –> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: It’s just this cool two way conduit that I sensed

86
00:03:50,920 –> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: and felt last night. Again, of all the hoopla and

87
00:03:52,920 –> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: the craziness, there was that moment that I’ll never forget

88
00:03:55,720 –> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: that makes this experience at Super Bowl fifty nine here

89
00:03:58,480 –> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: in New Orleans. Unique Okay, New Orleans, famous city. At

90
00:04:03,000 –> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: one time it was one of the world’s richest cities

91
00:04:05,600 –> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: and at one time the world’s busiest port. When you

92
00:04:08,800 –> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: go back to the seventeen hundreds and eighteen hundreds, as

93
00:04:11,680 –> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: North America was developing, this is where this was the

94
00:04:14,520 –> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 1: connection of North America to the world, really and so

95
00:04:18,200 –> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: fascinating in the fact that we talked about it. It’s

96
00:04:20,960 –> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: almost like its own country, the fact that there’s all

97
00:04:24,000 –> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: of this collision of cultures here.

98
00:04:25,760 –> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 2: What a Louisiana food have you had so far?

99
00:04:30,320 –> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: You know, A, I like Cajun food, okay, and so

100
00:04:33,480 –> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: already had jumbalaya, which is really good, and then a

101
00:04:36,480 –> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: you know, kind of a Cajun flavored steak that was

102
00:04:39,800 –> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: really good. I mean the food here is superb.

103
00:04:43,040 –> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 2: I had something called seafood Algroden. So it was like

104
00:04:47,040 –> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 2: like cheesy potatoes with like clams and shrimp and all

105
00:04:52,560 –> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 2: kinds of crab and stuff in it. It was amazing.

106
00:04:55,480 –> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 2: One of our producers, who has never been here before, Max,

107
00:04:58,200 –> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 2: said he wanted to try a big knit it’s a

108
00:05:01,480 –> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 2: it’s a Beignetucky to school. Okay, what did you.

109
00:05:05,520 –> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: Give me one of them, I’ll take three big niche

110
00:05:08,760 –> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: withus and that white sauce on it.

111
00:05:10,360 –> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 2: But we got to get one of those at some point.

112
00:05:12,000 –> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 2: But yeah, I love seafood. Love uh love Cajun food.

113
00:05:14,680 –> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 2: It’s it’s been good so far. Beignets are the best, Yeah,

114
00:05:17,040 –> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 2: they are. And a beignet in Jackson Square is a

115
00:05:20,400 –> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 2: must here in New Orleans. But speaking of New Orleans

116
00:05:23,240 –> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 2: at one point still is in many ways, one of

117
00:05:25,560 –> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 2: the most important cities in the world.

118
00:05:27,640 –> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 3: Let’s travel around the world.

119
00:05:28,960 –> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 2: Let’s do it. I love how we’re getting. Like all

120
00:05:31,400 –> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 2: the sounds around us too, were like on the fifth

121
00:05:35,000 –> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 2: or sixth flour of our hotel outside if you’re just

122
00:05:37,120 –> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 2: listening everything from Canal Street, like all the sirens and

123
00:05:40,720 –> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 2: there’s a helicopter flying over, and hopefully you feel like

124
00:05:43,680 –> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 2: you’re here in New Orleans with us.

125
00:05:44,960 –> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 3: Do you want to you want a little Canal Street

126
00:05:47,000 –> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 3: trivia here? Right?

127
00:05:47,760 –> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: Okay, this is where the term Dixie or originated, really right.

128
00:05:51,920 –> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: And then the other side of Canal Street was French.

129
00:05:54,880 –> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: That’s where all the French hung out. And then most

130
00:05:57,440 –> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: of the English speaking people were on this side of street,

131
00:06:01,040 –> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 1: and there was this confusion over currency. New Orleans made

132
00:06:03,880 –> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 1: its own currency called dixies. Really yeah, because all these

133
00:06:07,720 –> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: people were coming in that were merchant ships and they

134
00:06:11,080 –> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: would come in here, but it was all this collision

135
00:06:14,160 –> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: of currency. They go, all right, So if you came here,

136
00:06:17,000 –> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: New Orleans was his own little country, you had to

137
00:06:19,279 –> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: have dixies.

138
00:06:20,040 –> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 2: Interesting, it does feel like it’s own.

139
00:06:21,800 –> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 3: Like in Canal Street, was that it was the dividing line.

140
00:06:24,320 –> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 2: Interesting, Okay, that makes sense.

141
00:06:25,720 –> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 3: I mean you’re looking at the share it and that

142
00:06:27,400 –> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 3: was French.

143
00:06:27,880 –> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 2: Because on the other side of Canal Street, like on

144
00:06:29,600 –> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 2: the side that we’re on, that’s where all the French

145
00:06:31,400 –> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 2: Quarter is and everything. Right, that makes sense. I got

146
00:06:33,680 –> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 2: stuck in our rental car in the French Quarter yesterday

147
00:06:36,680 –> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 2: just driving around in circles. Difficult to drive around the

148
00:06:40,040 –> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 2: good old French Quarter. But hey, I made it back.

149
00:06:42,080 –> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 2: So here we are. Okay, let’s go around the world

150
00:06:44,480 –> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 2: just five today because we need to get to some

151
00:06:46,720 –> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 2: conversation about the game. But we have lots more in

152
00:06:48,839 –> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 2: the hopper.

153
00:06:49,240 –> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: Don’t work for the fifth Super Bowl Championship in franchisetreet.

154
00:06:52,000 –> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 2: Not trying to make it so obvious, but that’s what

155
00:06:53,400 –> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 2: I’m going for here. So heard from our friend Gary Peugh.

156
00:06:56,360 –> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 2: You know Gary obviously, so Gary wanted to shout out

157
00:06:59,240 –> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 2: his friend Joe Morris, gary coach ten years ago. He’s

158
00:07:03,320 –> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 2: a huge Chiefs fan living out in LA So shout

159
00:07:05,440 –> 00:07:08,320

Speaker 2: and her entire family from Wichita in the hotel yesterday.

161
00:07:11,960 –> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 2: There was like thirty of them. They drove eleven hours

162
00:07:14,200 –> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 2: from Wichita to be here, and they’re not staying for

163
00:07:16,960 –> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 2: the game. They just came down here for a couple

164
00:07:18,560 –> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 2: of days to experience New Orleans and to you know,

165
00:07:21,000 –> 00:07:23,679
Speaker 2: kind of experience the Chiefs being here in New Orleans.

166
00:07:23,760 –> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 2: So thanks for saying hi, everybody.

167
00:07:25,520 –> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: The joy they had, Yeah, it was a highlight of

168
00:07:29,600 –> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: a time here to see that entire family have that

169
00:07:32,640 –> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: much happiness being here.

170
00:07:33,800 –> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 2: And it worked out too because I saw them at

171
00:07:35,200 –> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 2: opening night where they were kind of like in the

172
00:07:37,520 –> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 2: corner and they were shouting and yelling and saying hi,

173
00:07:39,880 –> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 2: and they’re hoping a few players could come over. And

174
00:07:42,720 –> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 2: I mean, the players are so busy at opening night.

175
00:07:44,600 –> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 2: Like I don’t have that kind of power, But the

176
00:07:46,760 –> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 2: universe was helping me out because then a bunch of

177
00:07:48,560 –> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 2: guys came over and signed a bunch of autographs for him,

178
00:07:50,760 –> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 2: So it was great. So anyway, it’s great meeting you all.

179
00:07:52,640 –> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 2: Thanks for saying hi. Jeremy is right here in New Orleans.

180
00:07:55,960 –> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 2: Grew up in Manhattan though, and went to Case Date.

181
00:07:58,080 –> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 2: Grew up listening to you, and he was a ball

182
00:08:00,760 –> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 2: boy at Bramledge as a fourth grader. Wow, kind of cool.

183
00:08:03,680 –> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 3: What’s he doing down here?

184
00:08:05,240 –> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 2: Oh gosh? She probably wrote it in his note. I

185
00:08:06,840 –> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 2: didn’t catch it.

186
00:08:07,560 –> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 3: Probably an engineer of some sort.

187
00:08:09,040 –> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, let us know Jeremy. But anyway, he’s a Case Stater.

188
00:08:12,160 –> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 2: Alicia is listening from Singapore but originally from Bentley, Kansas.

189
00:08:15,880 –> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 2: Went to Halsted High School. The dragons dragons, Yeah, there

190
00:08:19,080 –> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 2: we go. There’s a lot of dragons. I’ve noticed the way.

191
00:08:21,240 –> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: Too many dragons. Yeah, how many dragons are running around Kansas?

192
00:08:24,200 –> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: Have you seen any dragons in campus?

193
00:08:25,720 –> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 2: Not many? What’s the what’s the museum in Hayes, the

194
00:08:29,640 –> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 2: Sternberg Museum. Do they have any dragon fossils there? Probably not?

195
00:08:32,600 –> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 3: Probably not? Okay, okay.

196
00:08:34,760 –> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 2: And lastly, David is in Tappei, Taiwan that grew up

197
00:08:37,320 –> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 2: in Levenworth, went to Immaculata High School a Maculata, Immaculata

198
00:08:42,840 –> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 2: High School.

199
00:08:43,320 –> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 3: The fighting Raiders of Immaculata are no more.

200
00:08:45,760 –> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 2: I saw that on Wikipedia.

201
00:08:47,080 –> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they were a force at one time, the

202
00:08:50,679 –> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: Green and White Raiders, they were a forest but shut down.

203
00:08:54,240 –> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: Now they’ve scattered the schools all over the kingdom.

204
00:08:56,920 –> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 2: Well, David is an alumni and gone, but not forgotten Maculata.

205
00:09:01,080 –> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 2: That’s all about today.

206
00:09:02,280 –> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 3: Keep Raider pride, buddy, never lose it. So in this.

207
00:09:05,600 –> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 2: Episode only instance you can say that on a Chief podcast.

208
00:09:08,080 –> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: Huh yeah, let me rethink that there’s a lot of

209
00:09:10,679 –> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: Raiders in Kansas too, more than you would think. But anyway,

210
00:09:14,160 –> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: let’s yeah, sorry about that one, but Immaculater. We’re going

211
00:09:17,760 –> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: to focus just on the remaining minutes of this podcast

212
00:09:21,840 –> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: and looking at one side of the ball, and then

213
00:09:23,880 –> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: we’re going to do on Thursday, we’re going to post

214
00:09:25,920 –> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: another one, but talk about the Philadelphia offense, which has

215
00:09:29,960 –> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: been an interesting story this year. They’ve made their own

216
00:09:34,000 –> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: history against the Chief defense. But I really think when

217
00:09:37,600 –> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: people want to compare Super Bowl fifty seven Eagles to

218
00:09:40,600 –> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl fifty nine Eagles, and it’s really if

219
00:09:43,400 –> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 1: you look at it, and do a scuba dive into it.

220
00:09:46,040 –> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: They’re a very different team than they were too just

221
00:09:48,440 –> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: two years ago. And there’s the Eagle spies that are

222
00:09:52,200 –> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: hanging every word.

223
00:09:54,400 –> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 2: Before we fly, I was saying, how quiet it was, like, man,

224
00:09:58,600 –> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 2: this is perfect. It’s so quiet. Soon as they start shooting,

225
00:10:01,679 –> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 2: like helicopters flying over, you jinxed the no hitterer blow horns.

226
00:10:05,520 –> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 3: Guys, we haven’t given up a hit for eight and you.

227
00:10:07,320 –> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: Even have given yet. That’s out of here. That’s on

228
00:10:10,960 –> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: me a solo home run. We lose one to nothing. Okay,

229
00:10:15,160 –> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: but interesting study just because of the explosion. Basically Saquon Barkley.

230
00:10:19,280 –> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: I mean, that’s been a saga of hard Knock’s draft

231
00:10:22,640 –> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: time where the New York Giants were exposed of like

232
00:10:25,000 –> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: we’re not going to pay him and they then he

233
00:10:27,200 –> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: ends up going to the Eagles like the worst thing

234
00:10:29,600 –> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: ever for them. But then Saquan’s gone to another level

235
00:10:32,840 –> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: with this team and the fact that they changed the

236
00:10:35,440 –> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: way their approach. If you look at the targets to

237
00:10:39,080 –> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: aj Brown or DeVante Smith, you’re seeing those reduced. Jalen

238
00:10:44,000 –> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: Hurts has kind of adjusted his game somewhat, but it’s

239
00:10:46,920 –> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: really centered around, and I’ll say this, coaches all across

240
00:10:51,320 –> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: the NFL or colleges really will say, you can’t win

241
00:10:54,559 –> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: without passing the football. You’ve got to pass the ball.

242
00:10:57,480 –> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: You passed to run. Run to run helps, but I’ve

243
00:11:00,280 –> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: got to pass the ball to win. The Eagles were

244
00:11:03,080 –> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: so explosive in the run game. They’re getting passing game

245
00:11:06,360 –> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 1: chunks with say Kwan Barkley runs, and that’s made them

246
00:11:09,800 –> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: unique in the fact that they’re so good in the

247
00:11:12,480 –> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: run game that they’re in this game because of it.

248
00:11:14,720 –> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: Fourteen regular season wins, three postseason wins, barkley seven runs

249
00:11:18,760 –> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: of sixty yards are more for touchdowns.

250
00:11:20,880 –> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 3: That’s an all time NFL record.

251
00:11:22,600 –> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and a lot of ways. These guys play football

252
00:11:25,120 –> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 2: like teams in the eighties and nineties did, and they

253
00:11:27,760 –> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 2: do it really successfully. I was curious about the differences

254
00:11:31,120 –> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 2: between this year’s Eagles and the Eagles we saw in

255
00:11:33,040 –> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl a couple of years ago, and one

256
00:11:35,160 –> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 2: really general way of looking at it is the Eagles

257
00:11:37,640 –> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 2: are twenty ninth in passing yards per game this year.

258
00:11:41,440 –> 00:11:43,839
Speaker 2: Back in twenty twenty two, they were ninth in the

259
00:11:44,040 –> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 2: NFL and passing yards per game. So they threw the

260
00:11:46,960 –> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 2: ball a whole lot more the last time we saw

261
00:11:48,880 –> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 2: him in the Super Bowl. But to your point, they

262
00:11:51,360 –> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 2: don’t really throw the ball a whole lot now because

263
00:11:53,559 –> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 2: they don’t really need to. I mean, they still have

264
00:11:55,400 –> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 2: a lot of talent. They still have DeVante Smith, still

265
00:11:57,679 –> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 2: have aj Brown, still have Dallas Goddard. But yeah, Saquon

266
00:12:01,000 –> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 2: has just been a revelation for these guys. He’s the

267
00:12:03,120 –> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 2: ninth player in NFL history to rush for two thousand

268
00:12:05,480 –> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 2: yards in a season, and didn’t Derek Henry do it

269
00:12:07,840 –> 00:12:10,079
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago. I thought Henry would be

270
00:12:10,160 –> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 2: the last one to ever do it, just because the

271
00:12:11,960 –> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 2: way the league is gone, like it just doesn’t only

272
00:12:14,480 –> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 2: happen anymore where you have one guy who’s your belcow

273
00:12:17,400 –> 00:12:19,439
Speaker 2: and getting the ball that much, because you need a

274
00:12:19,480 –> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 2: lot of carries to rush for two thousand yards. But

275
00:12:21,920 –> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 2: he’s been incredible and it’s his explosiveness that we’ve seen

276
00:12:25,640 –> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 2: from him this year that’s made him so good and

277
00:12:27,480 –> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 2: made him such a fixture in this Eagles offense.

278
00:12:29,400 –> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: A couple numbers are gonna add this to tag your point. Yeah,

279
00:12:32,280 –> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: this is what makes the Eagles unique. You mentioned twenty

280
00:12:34,440 –> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: ninth in passing, They’re only the second team in Super

281
00:12:37,480 –> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: Bowl history to make the Super Bowl being in the

282
00:12:40,120 –> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: bottom five in passing. The other was the eighty two Dolphins.

283
00:12:43,640 –> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: And that’s a strike here. So this tells you how

284
00:12:46,320 –> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: unique the Philadelphia Eagles are right here on the card

285
00:12:49,040 –> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: of getting to this game.

286
00:12:50,280 –> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 2: But you’re right because they throw the ball, or teams

287
00:12:52,480 –> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 2: in the NFL throw the ball to get big, explosive

288
00:12:54,840 –> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 2: chunk plays, and the Eagles get that with their run game.

289
00:12:57,160 –> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 2: They had forty six runs Saquon specifically ten or more

290
00:13:00,640 –> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 2: yards this year, most in the NFL. Forty two percent

291
00:13:03,559 –> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 2: of his rushing yards this season came on runs of

292
00:13:05,559 –> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 2: at least fifteen yards. Think about that. So a lot

293
00:13:09,040 –> 00:13:12,719
Speaker 2: of runs of double digit yardage. And he has three

294
00:13:12,800 –> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 2: runs of sixty plus this postseason, I mean, and it’s

295
00:13:15,880 –> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 2: just a backbreaker when that happens. Now, the good news

296
00:13:18,880 –> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 2: for the Chiefs, and we can dive into this going

297
00:13:20,760 –> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 2: up against a player like Saquan is they have under

298
00:13:23,679 –> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 2: Steus Pagnolo been really good against the run over the

299
00:13:26,440 –> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 2: course of Spagnelo’s time here and specifically this season. The

300
00:13:30,120 –> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 2: Chiefs are one of just three teams in the NFL

301
00:13:32,160 –> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 2: this year to not allow a single running back to

302
00:13:34,520 –> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 2: go over one hundred yards. And I think a couple

303
00:13:36,520 –> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 2: weeks ago we talked about there’s only one one hundred

304
00:13:39,120 –> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 2: yard rusher against the Chiefs this year. It was Lamar

305
00:13:41,559 –> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 2: Jackson way back in Week one, and we faced a

306
00:13:44,320 –> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 2: lot of good running backs, So faced Derrick Henry this year.

307
00:13:48,120 –> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 2: He finished second in the NFL and rushing yards. He

308
00:13:50,800 –> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 2: averaged one hundred and seventeen rushing yards per game, just

309
00:13:53,280 –> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 2: forty six rushing yards against the Chiefs. Bjon Robinson finished

310
00:13:56,880 –> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 2: third in the NFL in rushing yards this year, averaged

311
00:13:59,640 –> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 2: eighty ine rushing yards per game, just thirty one against

312
00:14:02,160 –> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 2: the Chiefs. Chibba Hubbard eighth in the NFL and rushing

313
00:14:04,960 –> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 2: yards averaged eighty one, just fifty eight against the Chiefs,

314
00:14:08,160 –> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 2: and Bucky Irving kind of surprising. Bucky Irving was tenth

315
00:14:10,800 –> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 2: in the NFL in rushing yards this year, but he

316
00:14:13,400 –> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 2: averaged sixty nine rushing yards per game just twenty four

317
00:14:16,200 –> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 2: against the Chiefs. So the good news for Kansas City

318
00:14:19,040 –> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 2: going into this game is, yes, Saquan is a huge

319
00:14:22,120 –> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 2: test and challenge. No one’s really been able to stop

320
00:14:24,280 –> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 2: them all year long, but the Chiefs have been uniquely

321
00:14:27,120 –> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 2: good at stopping opposing running backs and really good ones

322
00:14:30,120 –> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 2: across the NFL. One last challenge here in Saquan to

323
00:14:33,080 –> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 2: hopefully win the Super Bowl.

324
00:14:35,680 –> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 3: So if you do it, dive.

325
00:14:37,000 –> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: I remember I met the seven sixty plus yard touchdowns

326
00:14:39,560 –> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: NFL record. Here’s what’s interesting about those. Four of those

327
00:14:43,920 –> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: seven were against the Rams. Wow, when you account the

328
00:14:48,360 –> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: regular season. They played them in the regular season, and

329
00:14:50,840 –> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: of course in the game in the divisional playoff victory.

330
00:14:54,160 –> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: Four of the seven against the Rams, two against the Commanders,

331
00:14:57,920 –> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: one in the regular season, one in the and then

332
00:15:01,360 –> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: another one against the Saints. But six of the seven

333
00:15:04,640 –> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: are against two opponents. Now, he’s got some other fifties

334
00:15:07,480 –> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: in there, right, there’s a long one against the Tampa

335
00:15:10,000 –> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers. But the point is he did those against

336
00:15:14,200 –> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: two squads, all right. The other thing to take into account,

337
00:15:17,680 –> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: you look at what Spags does in the run game,

338
00:15:19,920 –> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: and he emphasizes it.

339
00:15:22,000 –> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 3: The fact that it’s track the hip, hope, you know,

340
00:15:24,720 –> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 3: build the wall, track the hip.

341
00:15:26,520 –> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 2: And hold the edge, pull the edge yep.

342
00:15:28,360 –> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: And the Chiefs have done that very well. But to

343
00:15:30,120 –> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: have eight defensive linemen that can rotate and you do

344
00:15:33,160 –> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: not fall off is very rare in this day and

345
00:15:35,920 –> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: age in the National Football League with the salary cap.

346
00:15:38,120 –> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: If you think of the guys that are on there

347
00:15:40,720 –> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: and the guys that do the dirty work, the Derek Naddi’s,

348
00:15:43,000 –> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: you know, Felix and new Dkzama, Turk Wharton to some extent,

349
00:15:46,160 –> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: Mike Penel’s two playoff seasons in a row. He’s been outstanding.

350
00:15:51,120 –> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: He was awesome in the Buffalo game. Yeah, Big Mike

351
00:15:54,160 –> 00:15:57,479
Speaker 1: was big time. So you got four guys on the inside.

352
00:15:57,920 –> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: We know about Chris, we know about Carlo Off, this Mike.

353
00:16:00,320 –> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: There’s eight guys that rotate, and you don’t fall off

354
00:16:04,120 –> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: the cliff when you rotate those eight guys. Then you

355
00:16:06,560 –> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: have linebackers who are tacklers, and you have defensive backs

356
00:16:09,760 –> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: who are tacklers. I would venture to say the Chiefs

357
00:16:12,880 –> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: are the best tackling team in the NFL at all

358
00:16:14,800 –> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: three levels. But to have an eight man defensive line

359
00:16:17,480 –> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: rotation is unheard of in this day and age in

360
00:16:19,640 –> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: the NFL.

361
00:16:20,400 –> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 2: And the corners who can tackle is a big part

362
00:16:22,360 –> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 2: of it too, because I think if you look at

363
00:16:24,120 –> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 2: some of these explosive Saquon runs, a lot of them

364
00:16:27,160 –> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 2: are outside the tackle box and he’s like untouched, just

365
00:16:31,120 –> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 2: gets up the field untouched and then sixty yards to

366
00:16:34,240 –> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 2: the end zone. If you look closely, there are some

367
00:16:37,080 –> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 2: corners making business decisions on these explosive Saquon runs. The

368
00:16:41,320 –> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 2: good news for the Chiefs is Trip McDuffie, Jalen Watson,

369
00:16:44,440 –> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 2: all the corners in this dB room they tackle and

370
00:16:47,840 –> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 2: they enjoy the process of tackling and the challenge of tackling,

371
00:16:51,680 –> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 2: and a lot of corners around the NFL just aren’t

372
00:16:54,160 –> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 2: like that. And it’s kind of like a prerequisite and

373
00:16:56,440 –> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 2: a requirement to play in Spags defense. And we’ve asked

374
00:16:58,960 –> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 2: our guys about it. They’re like, yeah, like there’s no question,

375
00:17:01,520 –> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 2: like you have to tackle as a corner if you

376
00:17:03,040 –> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 2: want to be a contributor on Spags defense. And that’s

377
00:17:06,920 –> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 2: a big deal going into this game because you can’t

378
00:17:08,840 –> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 2: have miss tackles against these guys. You can’t have business

379
00:17:11,000 –> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 2: decisions against these guys. Because Saquon he is the engine

380
00:17:14,240 –> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 2: that makes the whole Philadelphia offense go. These guys lead

381
00:17:17,080 –> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 2: the NFL in time of possession and we’re going to

382
00:17:19,080 –> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 2: talk about the defense later this week, but it all

383
00:17:21,640 –> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 2: works in tandem, where if they are possessing the ball.

384
00:17:25,119 –> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 2: And it’s not just the explosive runs. If they’re getting

385
00:17:26,920 –> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 2: first down after first down after first down and going

386
00:17:30,160 –> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 2: twelve plays, eight minute drive, well that’s taking away a

387
00:17:33,760 –> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 2: possession from you in the long run, and that helps

388
00:17:35,880 –> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 2: their defense. So in this game for Saquon, limit the

389
00:17:39,200 –> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 2: explosive runs, but also limit them being on the field

390
00:17:42,400 –> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 2: for an eternity because that’s what they do. They milk

391
00:17:44,920 –> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 2: the clock. They run these big, long drives with twelve

392
00:17:48,080 –> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 2: thirteen plays, and Saquon is the key to it all.

393
00:17:50,720 –> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 2: So for our entire defense, and I’m with you on

394
00:17:53,920 –> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 2: the rotation of the defensive front, fresh legs, tackle, do

395
00:17:57,920 –> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 2: not miss tackles, and if he’s outside the tackle box,

396
00:18:00,119 –> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 2: the corners are gonna meet Saquan hopefully at the line

397
00:18:02,240 –> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 2: of scrimmage.

398
00:18:03,320 –> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 1: The Chiefs have only given up three fifty plus runs

399
00:18:06,800 –> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: in four seasons. They’ve only given up six in six seasons.

400
00:18:12,200 –> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 1: So the long run really is a rarity against the

401
00:18:15,200 –> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. I don’t say that to fire up

402
00:18:17,160 –> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 1: the Eagles. I’m just telling you that is the staff

403
00:18:20,240 –> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: that’s there.

404
00:18:21,800 –> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 3: Now.

405
00:18:22,000 –> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: The Eagles offensive line will wrap things up here. But

406
00:18:24,800 –> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: the Eagle offensive line is good. You look at Lane

407
00:18:27,359 –> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: Johnson at right tackle. Six time pro bowler My Latta,

408
00:18:31,400 –> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: who is like a Samoan rugby player, is just a giant.

409
00:18:35,240 –> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 3: Of a beast.

410
00:18:35,960 –> 00:18:37,360
Speaker 2: The great singer too, great.

411
00:18:37,119 –> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: Singer Landon Dickerson is a guard. But this group does

412
00:18:40,600 –> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: miss Jason Kelsey. Yeah they do. Now, let’s be honest.

413
00:18:44,359 –> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: They got Jurgens and Beatrice, Nebraska right in the middle

414
00:18:47,320 –> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: of the Chiefs Kingdom. Not Beatrice, Not Beatrice. It’s Beatrice, Nebraska,

415
00:18:51,119 –> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: home of the Orangeman or the Lady. Oh okay, that’s

416
00:18:54,119 –> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: what we call him in Beatrice, just north of Marysville, Kansas.

417
00:18:56,680 –> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: Great community. And Jurgens, who’s Nebraska. Cornhi screws the center

418
00:19:00,720 –> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: on this team if healthy. But this is a good

419
00:19:02,840 –> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 1: offensive line. But we also talked about the defensive front

420
00:19:06,160 –> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs. If there is a team built to

421
00:19:11,040 –> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 1: limit Barkley to singles and doubles and not hit home runs,

422
00:19:14,160 –> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: it’s the Kansas City Chiefs. And I don’t say that

423
00:19:16,640 –> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: for bulletin board material.

424
00:19:18,080 –> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 3: But if we’re going to talk facts, we talk facts.

425
00:19:21,160 –> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 2: If the number one priority is to stop Barkley, the

426
00:19:24,119 –> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 2: number two priority then is to get pressure on Hurts.

427
00:19:28,040 –> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 2: And that’s how this all works in tandem together. And

428
00:19:30,520 –> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 2: the Chiefs pass rush has been great this postseason. Against

429
00:19:33,560 –> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 2: cz Stroud, they got a fifty four percent pressure rate

430
00:19:36,440 –> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 2: on him. Of course, a lot of that was late

431
00:19:38,119 –> 00:19:41,719
Speaker 2: in the game. Eight sacks in that game, just crazy

432
00:19:41,720 –> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 2: three by George carloftis what really sto out to me

433
00:19:44,280 –> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 2: was the pressure rate against the Bills. They had a

434
00:19:46,440 –> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 2: forty three percent pressure rate on Josh Allen and Allen

435
00:19:49,400 –> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 2: was the least sacked quarterback in the league this year.

436
00:19:51,720 –> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 2: I mean, that offensive line in Buffalo is really, really good.

437
00:19:54,600 –> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 2: Allen was never on his back this year, and the

438
00:19:56,880 –> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 2: Chiefs got pressure on him consistently in that game, notably

439
00:19:59,640 –> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 2: at the very end of the game and the play

440
00:20:01,320 –> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 2: of the season on fourth and five. Immediate pressure. And

441
00:20:04,840 –> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 2: we need to replicate that here again because specifically in

442
00:20:07,800 –> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 2: the postseason Hurts has struggled considerably under pressure comparatively to

443
00:20:12,680 –> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 2: when he is not under pressure. And those splits are

444
00:20:15,119 –> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 2: always there, but they’re pretty significant this postseason with Hurts.

445
00:20:18,280 –> 00:20:21,199
Speaker 1: Because when this is another big change from the Eagles

446
00:20:21,200 –> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: of Super Bowl fifty seven to this team big time.

447
00:20:23,640 –> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: I’ll let you get that and then I’ll tag it,

448
00:20:25,280 –> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: but that to me is a big change and the

449
00:20:28,040 –> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: way the Eagles do business, and these stats that we’re

450
00:20:30,480 –> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 1: going to give are not indicative of a team that

451
00:20:33,280 –> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: leads the NFL in time of possession.

452
00:20:35,359 –> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 2: I agree exactly.

453
00:20:36,840 –> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 3: You go first, I’ve got one.

454
00:20:37,880 –> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 2: I’ll tag yet, well, it hurts this postseason, when he’s

455
00:20:39,840 –> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 2: not pressured, has an eighty one percent completion percentage and

456
00:20:42,720 –> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 2: a passer rating of one twenty. Now, I understand those

457
00:20:45,680 –> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 2: are just a couple of numbers and passer rating is

458
00:20:47,640 –> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 2: kind of convoluted, but it does illustrate he’s been really

459
00:20:50,160 –> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 2: good when not pressured. Well, when he has been pressured

460
00:20:53,160 –> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 2: this postseason, a forty five percent completion percentage and a

461
00:20:56,480 –> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 2: passer rating of sixty six. Basically, his numbers are completely

462
00:21:00,680 –> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 2: sliced in half when he is under pressure. Now, like

463
00:21:04,160 –> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 2: you said, this Eagles offensive line is very good and

464
00:21:06,119 –> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 2: they run the football that helps keep pressure off of hurts.

465
00:21:09,040 –> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 2: But if you can try to contain the running game

466
00:21:11,520 –> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 2: and then pressure hurts in this passing game. He struggled

467
00:21:14,920 –> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 2: when under pressure this postseason. So those are just the facts,

468
00:21:18,240 –> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 2: and let’s try to do that again here in the

469
00:21:19,640 –> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 2: Super Bowl.

470
00:21:20,280 –> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 3: We’ll close this way and Matt You and I talked

471
00:21:22,280 –> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 3: about it.

472
00:21:22,640 –> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 1: But to me, it’s the oddest stat of the Philadelphia Eagles.

473
00:21:27,880 –> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 1: A team that’s fourteen and three in the regular season,

474
00:21:30,680 –> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: three really good wins in the NFC tournament bracket, they

475
00:21:35,640 –> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: have yielded on a team that’s number one in the

476
00:21:37,600 –> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: NFL in time of possession forty five sacks.

477
00:21:40,680 –> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 2: Shocking.

478
00:21:41,160 –> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jalen Hurts has been sacked thirty eight times on

479
00:21:44,160 –> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: a running team, but then when he was out and

480
00:21:47,800 –> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: Pickett came in, he got sacked four times, and the

481
00:21:51,040 –> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: Cat McKee from Stanford comes in, he got sacked twice.

482
00:21:54,080 –> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 1: It doesn’t add up. Running teams that have time of

483
00:21:56,440 –> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: possessions aren’t twentieth in the league in yielding seven and

484
00:22:00,840 –> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: so that countered with Hurtz is different under pressure now

485
00:22:04,880 –> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 1: than he was two years ago. It’s Barkley is pretty

486
00:22:09,400 –> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: much everything at this point because you’ve got to do

487
00:22:11,880 –> 00:22:14,239
Speaker 1: this in sequence. But to me, it’s odd when you

488
00:22:14,280 –> 00:22:17,360
Speaker 1: look at this Eagles team on this side of the ball,

489
00:22:17,840 –> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 1: and we.

490
00:22:18,080 –> 00:22:20,479
Speaker 2: Talk a lot about the twenty twenty two draft class,

491
00:22:20,560 –> 00:22:22,479
Speaker 2: it’s like our favorite thing to talk about because at

492
00:22:22,480 –> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 2: this point it’s a historic draft class. Looking at what

493
00:22:25,040 –> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 2: these guys have done since they got here in Kansas City,

494
00:22:27,640 –> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 2: and all they’ve done is win playoff games and going

495
00:22:29,600 –> 00:22:32,439
Speaker 2: for the third straight Super Bowl. But if you go

496
00:22:32,520 –> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 2: back and talk to guys like Trent McDuffie specifically, and

497
00:22:35,320 –> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 2: I’m sure others would say the same thing about their

498
00:22:37,600 –> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 2: first Super Bowl win, a lot of the defensive players

499
00:22:40,400 –> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 2: were not happy about it because they gave up thirty

500
00:22:42,600 –> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 2: five points And yeah, they were a Super Bowl champion

501
00:22:45,359 –> 00:22:47,719
Speaker 2: as a rookie and they had this incredible season and

502
00:22:47,760 –> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 2: we know that we wouldn’t have won the Super Bowl

503
00:22:49,320 –> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 2: about them, but they were kind of salty about it,

504
00:22:51,640 –> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 2: like we didn’t feel like we did our part in

505
00:22:53,440 –> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 2: that Super Bowl. Well, now they have a chance again

506
00:22:55,600 –> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 2: to play the Eagles in the Super Bowl and they

507
00:22:57,920 –> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 2: have three years under their belt now, and I just

508
00:23:00,400 –> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 2: have a feeling guys like George and Trent and Leo

509
00:23:03,280 –> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 2: and Brian Cook, a lot of these defenders that were

510
00:23:06,440 –> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 2: happy they won the Super Bowl but weren’t happy with

511
00:23:08,640 –> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 2: how the defense played collectively.

512
00:23:10,480 –> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: They’re pretty fired up for this one. But we remember

513
00:23:13,440 –> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: Nick Bolton, scoop and score, the most underrated player of

514
00:23:15,840 –> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: that game. Remember Colin Sanders sack he’s here in town now.

515
00:23:19,720 –> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: Never forget Colin Saunders’s sack.

516
00:23:21,440 –> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 2: He’s tweeting about us too. He’s like, I root for

517
00:23:23,160 –> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 2: those guys from Afar.

518
00:23:24,440 –> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: And after the punt returned to give the Chiefs the

519
00:23:26,440 –> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: lead of three and out to get Hurts off the field,

520
00:23:28,240 –> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 1: the game changed. Let’s hope that’s coming up now again.

521
00:23:31,160 –> 00:23:34,400
Speaker 1: We’re gonna post again from here in New Orleans later

522
00:23:34,480 –> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: in the week, but for now, Loving the gumbo, loving

523
00:23:38,480 –> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: the jambalaya.

524
00:23:39,200 –> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 3: What’s what do they call what you had?

525
00:23:40,560 –> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 2: I had seafood out grotten. We’ll find a Beignet and

526
00:23:44,320 –> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 2: we’ll get our dixies if we can get him.

527
00:23:45,880 –> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 1: Exchange the currency exchange anyway, it’s time to make history

528
00:23:49,720 –> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: here in New Orleans.

529
00:24:00,119 –> 00:24:00,239
Speaker 2: Van
