Okay 25 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:23,920 You already know how this thing is about to go on three one, two, three. Let's lock in 26 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,720 All 27 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:41,080 Right folks 28 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:46,200 Let's just get into the meat and potatoes of everything that is going on in the league right now 29 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:53,000 I'm letting you guys know again. This is going to be a short episode. There's not a lot of talk about sure 30 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,400 There's a bunch of speculations about this and that but we don't really care about speculations 31 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:02,800 We want facts. Okay, and we won't know anything and we won't have any big moves coming 32 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:08,160 Until after the combine or during the combo. So let's get into everything. All right 33 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:12,800 I also forgot to mention that tonight they are also announcing the class 34 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,000 For for the Hall of Fame 35 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:22,360 So do I think there's gonna be somebody that's gonna be in there that everyone doesn't want probably but I wouldn't be surprised 36 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:29,540 If Sterling Sharpe finally gets in, you know, Steve Smith finally gets in and you know players of that caliber finally 37 00:03:29,540 --> 00:03:36,380 Finally get in if Sterling Sharpe gets in there's a good chance. I might cry because Sterling Sharpe was definitely ahead of his time and 38 00:03:36,980 --> 00:03:41,740 For him to you know for his career to be cut the way that it was 39 00:03:42,020 --> 00:03:46,100 He definitely could have been regarded just as high as Jerry Rice 40 00:03:46,540 --> 00:03:53,020 If you don't believe me look at the stats, but let's just get into everything. So Myles Garrett wants out of Cleveland 41 00:03:53,020 --> 00:03:58,700 So I understand that you know, he was definitely you know in limbo about it 42 00:03:58,700 --> 00:04:03,940 I didn't expect for him to just come out and just start the process now 43 00:04:04,500 --> 00:04:10,100 Okay, not to mention he's been on a media run basically this entire week 44 00:04:10,820 --> 00:04:15,300 Like he's been on just about almost every single major 45 00:04:15,780 --> 00:04:21,340 Radio show podcast you name it he's on there and they're all asking him the same question 46 00:04:21,340 --> 00:04:26,120 What teams would you be interested going to would you go here? Would you go there all those different things? 47 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:30,460 Okay, so before we get to that point before we start, you know throwing out predictions and whatnot 48 00:04:30,500 --> 00:04:33,700 Let's just get into the statement that he put out 49 00:04:33,700 --> 00:04:38,260 So here goes and I quote as a kid dreaming of the NFL 50 00:04:38,260 --> 00:04:44,020 All I focused on was the ultimate goal of winning a Super Bowl and that goal fuels me today more than ever 51 00:04:44,180 --> 00:04:49,340 My love for the community of Northeast Ohio and the incredible fan base of the Cleveland Browns 52 00:04:49,660 --> 00:04:52,540 Has made this one of the toughest decisions of my life 53 00:04:52,540 --> 00:04:59,020 These past eight years have shaped me into the man that I am today while I've loved calling this city my home 54 00:04:59,180 --> 00:05:04,380 My desire to win and compete on the biggest stages won't allow me to be complacent 55 00:05:04,620 --> 00:05:11,540 The goal was never to go from Cleveland to can it has always been to compete and win a Super Bowl 56 00:05:11,620 --> 00:05:15,140 With that in mind I have requested to be traded from the Cleveland Browns 57 00:05:15,660 --> 00:05:21,240 Miles Garrett in quote now, let's get into the financials. Okay, so according to spot rack 58 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,360 Okay, his market value will be four years 59 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,080 137.3 million dollars 60 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:34,800 Okay, that's thirty four point three million a year when we go into the other side when we get into the the financials of what? 61 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:40,480 The team will be inheriting wherever he goes right 2025 is nineteen point eight million 62 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:48,240 But it's not guaranteed the same thing with the salary for 2026. It's not guaranteed as well. So 63 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:54,480 This is what I will say on one hand. Yes. I understand where he is coming from and yes 64 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,720 I understand that he realizes that hey listen 65 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:02,160 This team is not going anywhere this team is about to go through another hard rebuild again 66 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,400 And that's something that I don't want to be a part of but on the other hand if you are 67 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,920 Cleveland you have to make this to happen 68 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:09,640 Excuse me 69 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,640 and the reason why I say that is because 70 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:16,960 This is going to benefit you in the process of rebuilding because right now 71 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:22,960 You can demand two first-round picks you can't demand three because you still have to the team still has to pay him 72 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:27,960 You can demand two first-round picks for Miles Carey. It's very rare to have a 73 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:34,320 Pash rusher or any player in the prime of their years playing this high and they want out 74 00:06:34,840 --> 00:06:41,760 It's very rare the last time that we can remember of a player like this in a situation like this 75 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:47,240 Was probably Khalil Mack and we all know what happened with that situation 76 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:52,440 So I say all that to say this the Browns are in a situation where right now you 77 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,000 Have to start from the bottom 78 00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:01,920 Okay, you have to tear everything down and start from the nuts and bolts of this foundation because right now 79 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,480 You are not going anywhere anytime soon 80 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:10,040 You have people like Denzel Warhol who have already said and Miles Garret gets traded. I'm out 81 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:16,400 You have people like Joel Betonio who have said listen if this team goes through rebuild, I'm retiring 82 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:23,560 Players are fed up. They are tired of going through this constant cycle of being a little bit of competitive 83 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:30,040 Maybe having a chance of making it to the playoffs and then going through rebuild and then another rebuild and then another rebuild 84 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:35,400 Nobody wants to continue to go through rebuilds at some point. You have to be competitive 85 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:43,360 Okay, and granted I understand the Browns put themselves in this situation because why you traded for a quarterback? 86 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:48,560 That has not done anything since being in Cleveland the last 87 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:54,160 Consistent year that the Sean Watson had where if we're being real here 88 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:59,840 There were rumblings that people were considering him an MVP his last year with the Texans 89 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:05,160 That was the last year where you can say this is a top 10 quarterback right here 90 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:11,600 I was side of that year. He has not done anything. He has not even lived up to the contract folks 91 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,560 Joe Flacco old Joe Flacco 92 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,600 Knotting off going to sleep during the game 93 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:25,680 Joe Flacco made this team more competitive and more dangerous than what the Sean Watson has ever had 94 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:34,240 So I say all that to say this at this point most likely they're going to lose a large majority of their 95 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:38,280 And I'm not just talking about because of free agency. No, I'm talking about trades 96 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:43,160 I think a lot of these players are going to want out. I think they realize that listen 97 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:48,640 I'm in the prime of my career. This team is not going anywhere. This team does not have a direction 98 00:08:48,680 --> 00:08:54,240 So there is no pointing in a place where they themselves realize that listen 99 00:08:54,440 --> 00:09:00,840 We're gonna have to wait until the Sean Watson's contract is over in order for us to be 100 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:05,960 Somewhat competitive or at least try to be competitive until then you're in the pit 101 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,000 But at the same time guess what juju was right? 102 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,420 The Browns will be the Browns now 103 00:09:12,420 --> 00:09:18,560 I think a part that we do have to talk about is what are the best fits for miles Garrett? 104 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,400 because at this point we all know that 105 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:27,360 Basically almost every single AFC team is probably gonna pick up the phone and call the Browns 106 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:34,160 Okay. Now some teams may be more serious than others and there may be other teams that are just you know 107 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,620 Testing the waters is trying to see exactly. Okay, what's the asking price? 108 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,680 Would you be willing to take this would you be willing to take that? 109 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,120 But I do think one team that nobody is talking about that 110 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,540 I think if he does goes to this team 111 00:09:46,540 --> 00:09:52,860 I think it takes them to the next level and that's the commanders and the reason why I say that is because for one 112 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,900 Yes, they do have holes on their team 113 00:09:55,900 --> 00:09:57,260 but 114 00:09:57,260 --> 00:09:59,660 They're not as pressing as 115 00:10:00,380 --> 00:10:04,620 Anybody else's right? They got their quarterback. They got the receiver 116 00:10:04,620 --> 00:10:08,100 All they really have to do is this fix of the offensive line 117 00:10:08,620 --> 00:10:14,220 Probably bring in another productive receiver to go along with Terry McClellan and then fix up the defense 118 00:10:14,620 --> 00:10:20,100 That's it. That's not a whole lot of money that you have to allocate and on top of that. I think 119 00:10:20,100 --> 00:10:25,140 That if you take him out of the AFC completely and put him in the NFC 120 00:10:25,140 --> 00:10:32,060 I think you can breathe a little bit easier because I'm telling you if you keep Myles Garrett in the AFC 121 00:10:32,460 --> 00:10:35,060 He is going to wreck you 122 00:10:35,740 --> 00:10:37,740 every single matchup 123 00:10:38,260 --> 00:10:45,020 He is never going to let you forget that he is the end-all be-all when it comes to the Browns 124 00:10:45,020 --> 00:10:49,380 Okay, he's going to show you why I am one of the best Browns 125 00:10:49,780 --> 00:10:55,140 defensive players are probably one of the greatest Browns players of all time and so 126 00:10:55,660 --> 00:11:00,540 You have the commanders you have the Eagles possibly even have the Ravens 127 00:11:01,340 --> 00:11:03,740 those are only teams that I would say that 128 00:11:04,460 --> 00:11:11,020 You know, they could probably make a move for but even then when we look at all of those teams 129 00:11:11,020 --> 00:11:14,820 Most likely he would have to take less to be on those teams 130 00:11:15,140 --> 00:11:22,940 Now the question that I have for Myles Garrett is would you be willing to take less to be on a really stacked team? 131 00:11:23,620 --> 00:11:30,380 Because the Eagles cannot afford to pay you the Ravens cannot afford to pay you the money that you're looking for 132 00:11:30,700 --> 00:11:32,700 So would you be willing to take less? 133 00:11:33,220 --> 00:11:35,220 Just to be on those teams 134 00:11:35,780 --> 00:11:39,180 That is I think something that I would say is 135 00:11:39,180 --> 00:11:44,500 That is I think something that somebody on radio road has to ask 136 00:11:45,340 --> 00:11:52,740 Myles Garrett this week because I think if he answers that question, I think that automatically narrows out at least 137 00:11:53,260 --> 00:11:59,980 Maybe 50% of teams in the league right now because let's be real here the only 138 00:12:01,180 --> 00:12:04,340 Playoff teams that everybody really wants to go to is who? 139 00:12:04,340 --> 00:12:09,100 the Chiefs the Bills the Eagles and the Ravens 140 00:12:09,620 --> 00:12:11,620 those four 141 00:12:11,620 --> 00:12:17,260 Everybody else it's topsy-turvy with them. It all depends on you know, how they do in pre-agency 142 00:12:17,260 --> 00:12:20,060 How they do in the draft and all those different types of things 143 00:12:20,060 --> 00:12:28,060 But those four teams are the four teams that everybody recognizes and say those are the big fish 144 00:12:28,060 --> 00:12:30,060 Those are the big dogs 145 00:12:30,060 --> 00:12:34,780 But if Myles Garrett goes to a team like the commanders 146 00:12:34,780 --> 00:12:41,660 I think he could use his influence to bring in other players that he that he's either played with or 147 00:12:41,700 --> 00:12:48,380 Wants to play with him and they'll be willing to take less just to be on this team because I'm telling you right now folks 148 00:12:48,700 --> 00:12:54,180 I'm not saying this commander's team will win a Super Bowl in three years or whatever or be 149 00:12:54,180 --> 00:13:00,340 You know one of the greatest teams of all time. I'm not saying that but I am saying is this they have something in place 150 00:13:01,340 --> 00:13:06,220 the only thing that they was really missing this past season was a defense a 151 00:13:07,100 --> 00:13:12,700 consistent defense in a consistent pass rush if you get someone like a Myles Garrett who 152 00:13:13,540 --> 00:13:18,100 You know, we saw him being moved everywhere on the line. You saw him in the middle 153 00:13:18,100 --> 00:13:20,740 You saw him at in you saw him everywhere 154 00:13:20,740 --> 00:13:24,020 If you get someone like a Myles Garrett on that team 155 00:13:24,940 --> 00:13:29,460 It's gonna be problems. He is going to create relentless pressure on 156 00:13:30,060 --> 00:13:31,060 teams 157 00:13:31,060 --> 00:13:34,940 But let's just get into another player that we have to talk about and that is 158 00:13:35,340 --> 00:13:41,620 Cooper Cup now this one is a little bit more complicated only because last year, okay 159 00:13:42,500 --> 00:13:45,900 Around the trade deadline there were rumors going around that, you know 160 00:13:45,900 --> 00:13:51,300 The Rams were making Cooper Cup available for the right price and so, you know those things died down 161 00:13:51,500 --> 00:13:53,380 And then not too long ago 162 00:13:53,380 --> 00:14:00,380 We were you know told by Cooper Cup himself that the Rams told him that he will be traded this offseason 163 00:14:00,940 --> 00:14:04,220 He will be traded. That's what they told him 164 00:14:04,220 --> 00:14:09,260 So let's get into the quote that he put out and then we'll you know 165 00:14:09,260 --> 00:14:13,860 Go a little bit deeper into our takes and whatnot. So this is what he says and I quote 166 00:14:13,860 --> 00:14:20,940 I was informed that the team will be seeking a trade immediately and will be working with me and my family to find the right place 167 00:14:20,940 --> 00:14:22,860 To continue competing for championships 168 00:14:22,860 --> 00:14:28,760 I don't agree with the decision always believed it was going to begin and end in LA 169 00:14:29,060 --> 00:14:34,580 Still if there's I have learned over the years there are so many things are out of your control 170 00:14:34,580 --> 00:14:38,860 But it's how you respond to these things that you will look back on and remember 171 00:14:38,860 --> 00:14:43,740 I have taken so much pride in playing alongside my teammates for the LA community 172 00:14:43,740 --> 00:14:48,080 So thank you for embracing my family and making this such a special place for us 173 00:14:48,740 --> 00:14:51,620 2024 began with one of the best training camps of my career 174 00:14:52,300 --> 00:14:59,980 Preparations start now for 2025 highly motivated as healthy as ever and looking forward to playing elite football for years to come 175 00:15:00,100 --> 00:15:05,560 Love you guys, but coming for it all in cool now when we look at the financials 176 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,100 Okay, according to spot rack shout out to them 177 00:15:08,100 --> 00:15:14,700 Cooper Coast market value is a two-year 21.9 million dollar deal. That's only 11 million a year 178 00:15:14,700 --> 00:15:19,780 Okay. Now when we look at the financials for what the team will be inheriting 179 00:15:20,420 --> 00:15:26,620 It's 20 million, right when you look at that 20 million. You're probably thinking ah, man. That's a lot of that's a whole lot of money 180 00:15:26,620 --> 00:15:31,940 No, it's not actually five million of that 20 million is only guaranteed in 181 00:15:31,940 --> 00:15:38,740 In 2026 which is only 19.8 million that money is not guaranteed at all 182 00:15:39,340 --> 00:15:44,020 So all in all if a team does make a trade for Cooper Cup 183 00:15:44,020 --> 00:15:46,140 They're not inheriting a lot of money 184 00:15:46,380 --> 00:15:53,980 Most likely you probably will have to give him an extension or do some type of restructure to his deal. Okay 185 00:15:54,660 --> 00:15:57,020 now my only problem with this is 186 00:15:57,940 --> 00:16:01,020 Cooper Cup is a pillar for the Rams 187 00:16:01,020 --> 00:16:06,700 Okay, and this is somebody who in my mind is a one helmet guy 188 00:16:06,980 --> 00:16:12,420 It's very rare to have somebody on your team who is a one helmet guy 189 00:16:12,420 --> 00:16:19,080 And when you have a one helmet guy, you have to make sure that you keep them a one helmet guy 190 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,800 I don't care if you have to do a bunch of restructures 191 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,800 I don't care if you have to move some money around 192 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:29,920 You have to make sure that you keep that person because they play such a pivotal role on the team 193 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,480 I just don't like the decision all in all simply because 194 00:16:34,220 --> 00:16:35,980 Aaron Donald and 195 00:16:35,980 --> 00:16:38,580 Cooper Cup were pillars for this team 196 00:16:38,980 --> 00:16:42,220 They have been with this team through the ups and downs 197 00:16:42,660 --> 00:16:47,420 When they were competitive when they weren't competitive and when they even won the championship 198 00:16:47,620 --> 00:16:53,300 The least that you could or someone like a Cooper Cup is to allow him to make the decision for himself 199 00:16:53,540 --> 00:16:56,460 If he wants to continue to play 200 00:16:56,460 --> 00:16:59,980 With the Rams or if he just wants to walk away 201 00:17:00,620 --> 00:17:06,320 You give him that choice not you make that choice for him and granted I understand they're trying to make some moves 202 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:07,580 They're trying to you know 203 00:17:07,580 --> 00:17:12,500 Create as much cap space as they as they possibly can because they want to retool and you know 204 00:17:12,660 --> 00:17:19,900 Help Matthew Stafford out and possibly try to make you know one more big run and I get all that but at the end of the day 205 00:17:19,900 --> 00:17:26,180 Cooper Cup plays a phenomenal role in this team and I understand that our people that are saying well 206 00:17:26,380 --> 00:17:33,740 He has been healthy in a while, you know since he won the Triple Crown and whatnot. Okay, I understand that that's that's fine 207 00:17:33,980 --> 00:17:40,020 But the fact of the matter is you cannot deny this man's greatness. This man is still 208 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,620 Competitive and he is still a dog on this field 209 00:17:43,740 --> 00:17:48,700 You cannot look down on someone like a Cooper Cup because the minute that you do 210 00:17:48,700 --> 00:17:50,700 Cooper Cup is gonna mess you up 211 00:17:51,340 --> 00:17:55,460 Okay, he's great when it comes to blocking. He's a really good runner 212 00:17:55,460 --> 00:18:02,100 He's able to take away a lot of the attention away from other receivers because why? 213 00:18:02,420 --> 00:18:06,180 Cooper Cup is still that guy. I don't care what anyone says 214 00:18:07,340 --> 00:18:14,740 So Rams I would really think about you know, really getting Cooper Cup away. I really would 215 00:18:14,740 --> 00:18:20,460 Even if it means that you guys have to do a restructure you move some money around. Okay, fine 216 00:18:20,460 --> 00:18:22,820 Just do that, but you got to keep Cooper Cup 217 00:18:23,300 --> 00:18:28,260 Cooper Cup has been loyal to this team through and through the least that you can do is 218 00:18:28,500 --> 00:18:35,220 Keep him and let him in his career with the Rams now in my saying that he still has you know 219 00:18:35,220 --> 00:18:40,300 Three more elite years. No, I would say at best he probably has maybe two years and 220 00:18:40,300 --> 00:18:45,380 That's just me being very generous. I think at best he has two years and then after those two years 221 00:18:45,780 --> 00:18:51,860 Then you have to do some further examination at this point now when we look at you know best fits for him 222 00:18:52,340 --> 00:18:54,900 You know, you're gonna have the Ravens. You're gonna have the Chiefs 223 00:18:54,900 --> 00:18:59,860 You're gonna have the Eagles not the Bills the Steelers. You're gonna have a whole bunch of teams 224 00:19:00,340 --> 00:19:08,020 Any team that gets Cooper Cup is going to benefit because he doesn't have to play the wide receiver one role or the two 225 00:19:08,020 --> 00:19:12,740 He could be the three option and be a dangerous three option if we're being real here 226 00:19:13,460 --> 00:19:16,740 Not to mention as I just said, he's a really good blocker as well 227 00:19:17,620 --> 00:19:21,540 So you have someone that's like 6-2 close to 6-3 228 00:19:22,020 --> 00:19:26,340 Who can slice and dice when it comes to the route running who's able to take away? 229 00:19:26,340 --> 00:19:30,780 You know the attention from from other receivers and other offensive players 230 00:19:31,300 --> 00:19:34,740 Come on. Why wouldn't you want that on your team not to mention? 231 00:19:34,740 --> 00:19:36,180 the team 232 00:19:36,180 --> 00:19:40,940 Could probably get Cooper Cup for maybe a third maybe a fourth round pick at best 233 00:19:41,420 --> 00:19:44,300 The Rams cannot demand a first round pick for Cooper Cup 234 00:19:44,300 --> 00:19:49,340 I'm sorry if you give a first round pick for Cooper Cup you are delusional 235 00:19:49,340 --> 00:19:53,340 Okay, I wouldn't even be surprised if you wanted to go to the Chiefs 236 00:19:54,420 --> 00:20:00,100 Because even with his deal his current deal right now. It's a lot easier to work with 237 00:20:00,100 --> 00:20:05,700 Compared to this, you know this big deal that still has like three years left 238 00:20:05,700 --> 00:20:12,060 And there's large base salaries and you know dead cap hits and all those different types of things 239 00:20:12,060 --> 00:20:16,700 So I say all that to say this do I think he's going to be trading? 240 00:20:16,700 --> 00:20:24,100 Yes, but part of me believes I think they will have a conversation and I think they'll be like, you know what? 241 00:20:24,740 --> 00:20:27,540 I think we'll just let you just put it out there and let you know 242 00:20:27,540 --> 00:20:34,780 I think we'll just let you just play the rest of this deal out and then once the deal is over then we'll revisit 243 00:20:35,220 --> 00:20:41,020 Conversations and you know if you still want to play we'll grant you a release or we'll trade you wherever you want to go or 244 00:20:41,980 --> 00:20:43,980 Whatever the case may be. Okay 245 00:20:44,500 --> 00:20:49,220 That's the least that you can do for someone like a Cooper Cup. Now. Let's get into the Super Bowl. Okay. Yes 246 00:20:49,780 --> 00:20:51,420 the Super Bowl 247 00:20:51,420 --> 00:20:55,440 Yes, do I really want to watch the Super Bowl? No, not really because 248 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:59,600 It's the Chiefs man. I'm tired of seeing the Chiefs in the playoffs. I'm gonna see somebody different 249 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:05,840 I want to see you know, Josh Allen the Super Bowl or Lamar Jackson or Jaden Daniels or whomever 250 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:12,640 Anybody else then the Chiefs because I am tired of seeing that red and yellow confetti fall down 251 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:19,120 I am tired of seeing them hold up the Lombardi because man, oh man if they win this Super Bowl 252 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,040 Do you know what's gonna happen? 253 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:25,960 Do you know what's gonna happen people be like, oh man, Patrick Malone's better than Tom Brady 254 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:30,320 No, he is not by far. He is not okay because guess what and 255 00:21:31,120 --> 00:21:35,040 Somebody asked him about this when they interviewed him a few days ago 256 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:42,800 What is the one game that you regret and he said that Super Bowl when he faced Tom Brady and Tom Brady was 257 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,440 BTA, all right 258 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:50,880 He dismantled that Chiefs team. They didn't know what to do with themselves after that 259 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,560 But let's get into some junkie nuggets that you know, definitely caught my attention 260 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,320 So the Eagles have allowed a 261 00:21:58,600 --> 00:21:59,760 35.5 262 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:06,040 Conversion rate percentage on third downs, which is the third lowest in the league. Okay now, let's go a little bit deeper 263 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:13,760 Okay on 46 third downs in the playoffs the Eagles have allowed 20 conversions, which is at 43.5% 264 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:21,120 So you already know this Eagles defense is really good when they need to be especially on third downs 265 00:22:21,120 --> 00:22:27,360 They pride themselves on making that big stop on third downs. So expect for that to happen 266 00:22:28,120 --> 00:22:31,520 Multiple times in this game. This game is going to be back and forth 267 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:35,600 This is not going to be a game where it's gonna be one-sided from start to finish 268 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:41,200 No, this is gonna be a game where the Eagles are not going to leave no stone unturned 269 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:48,520 They are going to try to win as best as they can. Okay now, let's go a little bit deeper with the Eagles 270 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,920 Okay in their last Super Bowl matchup 271 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:59,320 Lane Johnson was the only Eagles offensive lineman to not allow a single pressure out of 42 pass blocks. Okay 272 00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:07,800 Chris Jones has generated only one pressure out of 36 pass rushes against the Eagles in their last Super Bowl matchup 273 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:14,720 Which is the third lowest pressure rate in any postseason game since 2018 which is at 2.8% 274 00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:17,360 the Eagles in 275 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:21,000 Some ways is the Chiefs crypt tonight in some ways 276 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:28,400 I'm not saying completely but I'm saying in some ways they know how to minimize the effect of Chris Jones, which is 277 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:29,840 significant 278 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:35,160 Because we all know Spags is gonna be blitzing. We all know that Spags is gonna send corner blitz 279 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:39,360 He's gonna send just a variety of different types of blitzes 280 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:46,560 Okay, he's going to move Chris Jones around Chris Jones may be in the middle one play then he'll be at the end and he'll be 281 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:52,880 Against Jordan Malata. He's just gonna be everywhere. So you have to make sure that you keep your eye on Chris Jones 282 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:57,120 Okay on 37 carries this postseason say Kwan has gained 283 00:23:58,180 --> 00:24:00,880 344 yards, which is nine point three yards per carry 284 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:06,880 Expect for say Kwan Barkley at some point in this game to have a big run now 285 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,980 I'm not saying from the start of the game to the end of the game 286 00:24:09,980 --> 00:24:13,680 He's just gonna have you know a big run every single time he gets the ball 287 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:14,120 No 288 00:24:14,120 --> 00:24:21,040 But what I am saying is this at some point that defense is gonna get tired and say Kwan Barkley is gonna feast 289 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:27,140 But the number one thing I want people to remember is that the Eagles have to play their own game 290 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,640 Don't try to do what the Bills did 291 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,640 every single time 292 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,160 They tried to play like the Chiefs. Guess what happened? They lost 293 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,900 You have to run the ball successfully against the Chiefs 294 00:24:39,900 --> 00:24:47,800 If you control the time of possession if you keep okay Patrick Mahomes out of rhythm guess what you have a better chance at winning 295 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,000 compared to 296 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:54,800 Trying to go toe-to-toe blow for blow with this guy. You're not going to do that 297 00:24:54,800 --> 00:25:00,440 This is not how this offense is built. This offense is built for the run. Okay 298 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:04,280 If you run the ball successfully if you convert on your third downs 299 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:09,340 If you are able to put points on the board you have a fighting chance 300 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,680 But the minute that you give Patrick Mahomes a little bit of wiggle room 301 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:19,160 I'm telling you he is going to make you pay for he's done it every single time 302 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,000 But this is the last junkies nugget that I want to leave for you guys 303 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,420 I really want you guys to keep your eye on 304 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:33,960 When targeting Dallas Goddard on third down Jaylen Hurts has completed 13 out of 14 passes for 240 yards 305 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:42,520 So expect for Jaylen Hurts to use just about anybody and everybody from Dallas Goddard to AJ Brown to Devontae Smith 306 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:50,040 He is going to use everybody at his arsenal because why this is an all hands on deck type of game 307 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:56,240 This is not someone having a stellar game. No, this is going to be a team effort win. Okay 308 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,400 Am I going to give out a score prediction? No 309 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:05,580 I'm not doing that.
