Let's go, here we go, let's go.

0:17

We're back with another edition of Let's

0:19

Go with legendary sports rider, Hall of

0:22

Famer, the great Peter King. Let's go,

0:24

presented by Delta Airlines, touchdown on your

0:26

Let's Go moment with Delta, where our

0:29

keep climbing mentality pushes us from better

0:31

to best. Visit delta.com to

0:33

book today. There's something just wrong.

0:35

There's something just plain wrong, that

0:37

America does not have Peter King,

0:40

walking bourbon street, hanging out at

0:42

all those great restaurants down in the

0:44

bayou. Getting ready for Super

0:46

Bowl 59. It's got to be a

0:48

different feeling Peter It's really kind

0:50

of weird Jim, but you know I

0:52

really haven't missed it this year. I

0:55

did it for 40 years and as

0:57

you know We were talking before we

0:59

did this the last time I didn't

1:01

go to a Super Bowl I watched

1:03

the Super Bowl from a hotel

1:05

in Oklahoma City. I

1:07

was covering the Xavier

1:10

University musketeers for the

1:12

Cincinnati Inquirer, the year

1:14

before I started covering

1:17

the Bengals. And I don't,

1:19

I remember nothing about it

1:21

other than watching the game

1:24

in a hotel room. It

1:26

wasn't a particularly good game.

1:29

That was the Washington game

1:31

against the Raiders where

1:34

Thysman through the interception

1:36

of Jack Squirek. And you

1:38

know, it was no game.

1:40

But anyway, it wasn't a

1:42

very good game. And that was

1:45

it. And then the next year

1:47

started a streak of 40 in

1:49

a row. And you know what?

1:51

I'll never forget about my first,

1:53

Jim. The game was in Palo

1:56

Alto. And it was obviously

1:58

the 49ers again. against

2:00

the Dolphins. Great quarterback

2:02

matchup. Dan Marino in

2:04

his second year and Joe

2:07

Montana in his, I think

2:09

his fifth year, maybe his

2:11

sixth. But what was so

2:13

interesting about the game is

2:15

that obviously the 49ers won,

2:17

Marino lost and I will

2:19

never forget at the press conference

2:22

afterwards, the whole sentiment was, well,

2:24

geez. Marina was going to get

2:26

to four or five more of

2:29

these. So he lost. He'll be

2:31

back. He'll win one. He'll win two

2:33

or three. And of course, he never

2:35

got back. And that's why, you

2:37

know what I was thinking about

2:39

this week, Jim? Honestly, I was

2:41

thinking about the Detroit

2:43

Lions losing seven coaches off

2:46

their staff, including both coordinators,

2:48

losing the great Ben Johnson,

2:51

great offensive mine, Ben Johnson,

2:53

going to Chicago. Everybody,

2:55

I'm sure, in Detroit, thinks, well, you

2:58

know, we're going to be on top

3:00

for a while. We'll have more chances.

3:02

We'll have this. All I can say is, you

3:04

never know. You do never know, but how

3:06

do you know when you've had

3:08

enough? Because I'm going to relate

3:11

your circumstance to Andy Reed and to

3:13

others in that position. You wrote

3:15

in your notes, the private notes you

3:17

send to us, Monday morning quarterback

3:19

comes to Snake Hagen and me,

3:21

as opposed to the entire country.

3:24

You wrote in your notes about

3:26

John Madden and his last game

3:28

and you just talked about not being

3:30

there and how you have not missed

3:32

it. What's that triggering mechanism and

3:34

what do you think is going through

3:37

Andy Reed's mind as he tries to

3:39

embark on history yet also knowing

3:41

that at some point, I'm not suggesting

3:43

it's going to be after this game,

3:45

but at some point soon, he's not

3:47

going to do this anymore. Right. Jim,

3:50

I've thought a lot about

3:52

that in the last couple

3:55

of weeks because everybody is

3:57

saying, you know, Andy Reed now

3:59

either. pick a cliche, belongs on

4:01

the Mount Rushmore of NFL coaches

4:04

or, you know, is this great,

4:06

you know, has had this great

4:08

early and mid-career. He's now obviously

4:11

later in his career at the

4:13

age of 66. How much longer

4:15

will he do it? Could he

4:17

walk away this year? Here's the

4:20

thing. Andy Reed signed a long-term

4:22

contract extension before this season. And

4:24

I don't think there's any way

4:27

he walks away, no matter win

4:29

or lose on Super Bowl Sunday,

4:31

I don't think there's any way

4:34

he walks away after this season.

4:36

So, you ask me, how many

4:38

more years will he coach? One,

4:40

two, three, I don't know. All

4:43

I know is that it's got

4:45

to be awfully hard when you

4:47

have, not only Patrick Mahomes, but

4:50

think of this Jim. Who on

4:52

God's Green Earth in recent football

4:54

history? And I include Bill Belliche

4:56

with the great Patriots teams. You

4:59

know, I include Bill Walsh, you

5:01

know, with the great 49ers teams

5:03

and so many other great teams.

5:06

Who has had A, an all-time

5:08

quarterback, B, An offensive coordinator who

5:10

completes your sentences. Now people in

5:13

Chicago will scoff at this, but

5:15

Andy Reed loves having Matt Nagy

5:17

around. You know why? Because Matt

5:19

Nagy comes to him with all

5:22

of these weird, fun ideas. He

5:24

came to him with the idea

5:26

about Heisman. uh... last season in

5:29

december they went to play new

5:31

england and patrick mahomes was you

5:33

know put in a three-point stance

5:35

and uh... you can be weird

5:38

when you have had patrick mahomes

5:40

it's pretty hard to be weird

5:42

when you have michtabisky True that's

5:45

very true. It's very true. But

5:47

my point is my I don't

5:49

mean to insinuate Matt Nagy's weird

5:51

No, there are people who think

5:54

that Matt Nagy should have a

5:56

second chance Yes, he would do

5:58

great and that he was given

6:01

a raw hand after doing well

6:03

for the first few seasons And

6:05

so I don't mean that to

6:08

be flippant I know I understand

6:10

it's a different to a different

6:12

deck of cards you're dealing with

6:14

I totally but if you look

6:17

at it from Andy Reed's perspective

6:19

I got the quarterback I got

6:21

the offensive coordinator and I have

6:24

both the quarterback and the offensive

6:26

staff who are idea people who

6:28

are willing to try new things,

6:30

who are willing to think of

6:33

new things. All right, and then

6:35

also you have a guy who

6:37

is either the greatest defensive coordinator

6:40

of his time or one of

6:42

the top three or four, and

6:44

that's Steve Spagnolo. So, you know,

6:47

Jim, if you're Andy Reed, and

6:49

you have everything set up. You

6:51

have a general manager who's really

6:53

smart, really still very young, comes

6:56

to you with great ideas in

6:58

the draft and all that in

7:00

Brett Beach. I mean, it would

7:03

be easy if Andy Reed had

7:05

an income pooper too, surrounding him.

7:07

He doesn't have any. And so

7:09

that's why to me, if you're

7:12

Andy Reed... I'm not saying, I

7:14

don't know how much longer he's

7:16

going to coach. I do believe

7:19

strongly that he's not getting out

7:21

after this year. But beyond that,

7:23

I don't know. I've never sensed

7:26

that he says, I want to

7:28

be there for 348 to pass

7:30

Don Shula, to set the all-time

7:32

record. I'm not sure that's anything

7:35

it's got to be interesting to

7:37

think about, but I'm not sure

7:39

that that drives him. I've never

7:42

sensed that. But look. He is

7:44

in a perfect position right now

7:46

with Kansas City and that's why

7:48

to me I think we're to

7:51

see him at least one more

7:53

year and who knows how much

7:55

more. Let's go is brought to

7:58

you by American Express. Sometimes you've

8:00

just got to be there. That's

8:02

when the moment becomes larger than

8:04

life. Thore the crowd, the electricity

8:07

in the building, and with the

8:09

dedicated Amex card member entrance at

8:11

selected venues, you're one step closer

8:14

to it all. And he's not

8:16

that far. If you look at

8:18

now. Pete Carroll coaching at age

8:21

73. Andy Reed could possibly, if

8:23

he likes to stay, stays in

8:25

good health and is still driven,

8:27

break all of these records, records

8:30

that many people thought would never

8:32

be touched. He could. The question

8:34

is, does he want to? And

8:37

I'd ask the same question with

8:39

everyone. You know, it's easy to

8:41

say, hey, Pete Carroll's going to

8:43

be 74 in September. Oh my

8:46

God, that's so old. Well, Pete

8:48

Carroll looks like he's 53. Bill

8:50

Bellicick still looks like a young

8:53

man. And Andy Reed, although he's

8:55

heavy, he has an incredible amount

8:57

of energy. Jim, I don't know

9:00

if I ever told you this

9:02

story. But I had this thing

9:04

where I think six out of

9:06

seven years, six out of my

9:09

last seven years or seven out

9:11

of my last eight years. I

9:13

had this deal where one of

9:16

the coaches in the Super Bowl,

9:18

I rode to work with them

9:20

in the morning, you know, on

9:22

the morning in an off week.

9:25

So the year that Kansas City

9:27

was going to play in the

9:29

first Super Bowl, the first Mahomes

9:32

Reed Super Bowl, I asked him

9:34

if I could ride to work

9:36

with him. I was staying in

9:38

the inter, he said yes. And

9:41

he said, okay, Tuesday morning, be

9:43

ready. I'll pick you up at

9:45

315. I said, oh my God,

9:48

315. So Jim, I got down

9:50

to the lobby of the Intercontinental

9:52

Hotel in Kansas City in the

9:55

little country club plaza area. And

9:57

it's three ten and I'm five

9:59

minutes early. I'm on Coughlin Time

10:01

and I look outside and there's

10:04

Andy Reed in his big SUV

10:06

idling in the driveway on a

10:08

10 degree Kansas City morning. And

10:11

I got out there and I

10:13

said, Jesus, you're early. He goes,

10:15

yeah, I've been here for five

10:17

minutes. And he had to explain

10:20

to me why you're here at

10:22

315 anyway, but why you're here

10:24

at 315 and why you're here

10:27

at 315 and even earlier than

10:29

that. And he goes, well, you

10:31

know, you get to be a

10:34

man of a certain age, you

10:36

wake up, you have to go

10:38

to the bathroom, and then I

10:40

just start thinking. And then I

10:43

can't go back to go back

10:45

to sleep. So he goes, I

10:47

usually get into the office and

10:50

he had a great point. And

10:52

Jim, you would understand this from

10:54

dealing with all the great coaches

10:56

over the years. Andy's point was

10:59

that, look, especially if you're preparing

11:01

for a Super Bowl, all week,

11:03

every day, somebody is going to

11:06

want five minutes of your time.

11:08

You know, the traveling guy, the

11:10

equipment guy, what do you want

11:13

to do for uniforms? You know,

11:15

tickets here. Somebody's going to want

11:17

five minutes of your time. You're

11:19

preparing for the biggest game of

11:22

the year. And so, and he

11:24

just said, one of the reasons

11:26

why I love getting in the

11:29

office at 325, 330, is that

11:31

it's an hour and a half

11:33

where I am alone. And Jim,

11:35

I happened to go in with

11:38

him into his office for a

11:40

few minutes before I got out.

11:42

And it was just Andrew. Andy

11:45

secluded. watching a couple of things

11:47

on tape that he wanted answers

11:49

on. And I just thought to

11:51

myself, it's perfect. This is the

11:54

perfect job for this guy. He's

11:56

not upset about coming in early.

11:58

He's happy about coming in early.

12:01

This is a man who loves

12:03

his job. Jim Gray with Peter

12:05

King, we're here on Let's Go.

12:08

Let's Go is brought to you

12:10

by Casamigos tequila. Casamigos tequila is

12:12

brought to you by those who

12:14

drink it. So there's always going

12:17

to be distractions things that are

12:19

going to come up throughout the

12:21

course of this week and leading

12:24

up to the Super Bowl One

12:26

of those distractions believe it or

12:28

not Patrick Mahomes trying to figure

12:30

out how in the world did

12:33

Luke get traded from his beloved

12:35

Dallas Mavericks and he's tweeting about

12:37

it and he's kind of turned

12:40

the corner now today where he's

12:42

starting to think well, maybe this

12:44

is this is a good thing

12:47

from the shock to the dismay

12:49

I guess it's the the the

12:51

steps of grieving and so Patrick

12:53

Mahomes obviously loves his Dallas Mavericks

12:56

loves his town of Dallas and

12:58

What do you make as an

13:00

observer of sports and if somebody

13:03

who's an expert in this of

13:05

this trade and now how it's

13:07

even captured the attention of the

13:09

man that will have a hundred

13:12

and Some odd million Americans watching

13:14

him and billions around the world?

13:17

Jim, I've never covered the NBA.

13:19

I don't know anything about the

13:22

NBA. I've never met LeBron. I've

13:24

never, I don't know any of

13:26

these people. They're fabulous athletes. I

13:29

admire them, obviously, but it's just

13:31

not something I've covered, so I

13:33

don't know. But I can tell

13:36

you what keeps going through my

13:38

mind. First of all, how in

13:40

the world did this happen with

13:43

nobody knowing? That's crazy. No leaks,

13:45

no anything. But secondly, this thought

13:47

really keeps creeping into my mind.

13:50

I've never heard of Nico Harrison

13:52

before. People said, hey, Dallas GM,

13:54

Nico Harrison made this trade. But

13:57

all I can say is I

13:59

just think Nico Harrison had to

14:01

know something. He either had to

14:04

know that every year when they

14:06

give him this max contract, think

14:08

of it Jim, next year they're

14:11

going to have to pay this

14:13

guy if he made a max

14:15

contract, an average of what, $72

14:18

million a year, something like that.

14:20

Think about that. Because this guy

14:22

misses... uh... luka misses what ten

14:25

fifteen twenty place in the sixties

14:27

every year yeah yeah so so

14:29

think about it this this person

14:32

you're going to be paying one

14:34

point one million dollars a game

14:36

to play basketball for your team

14:39

and then obviously there's the post

14:41

season who knows if you go

14:43

deep into it that affects how

14:46

much per game he's making and

14:48

i get it i just got

14:50

the feeling listening to what he

14:53

said, the words that he said,

14:55

is that he's worried long term

14:57

about Luca Donchich, however you pronounce

15:00

his name, I'm sure I got

15:02

it wrong. That's correct. I'm sure

15:04

that he's got to worry about

15:07

Luca's long-term health and commitment to

15:09

the sport. You know, if it's

15:11

true, he's in the two sixties

15:14

to two 70, whatever, and he's

15:16

constantly there on him about his

15:18

conditioning. and he's got these injuries,

15:21

well, do you really want to

15:23

commit that to him? Now, having

15:25

said all that, I think where

15:28

he made a really major error

15:30

is in not getting more for

15:32

him, especially because is Anthony Davis

15:35

32 years old and he's hurt

15:37

a lot too. So I just

15:39

don't really quite understand. He's not

15:42

hurt because he's not in shape.

15:44

No, no, that's right. That's right.

15:46

He just has had a bunch

15:49

of ticky-tack injuries and he's missed.

15:51

I don't know. I don't know.

15:53

A lot of games. Missed a

15:56

lot of games. But my whole

15:58

point is, you couldn't have done

16:00

better than that? All right folks,

16:03

celebrate your next special occasion with

16:05

Morton's the steakhouse. Morton's is the

16:07

prime place to take your special

16:10

someone for that perfect steak and

16:12

unrival dining experience. Visit Morton's got

16:14

basketball for a long time. And

16:17

he knows players and he knows.

16:19

He knows. He knows. locker rooms.

16:21

He was, it goes all the

16:24

way back with Nike and he's

16:26

a, he's quite, quite knowledgeable. I

16:28

think you're right though, why not

16:31

shop this? And maybe if you

16:33

shop this, the outrage and everything

16:35

gets to the point where, you

16:38

know, he can't conduct what he's

16:40

trying to conduct because, you know,

16:42

the fever pitch takes over. And

16:45

maybe, maybe his ownership, maybe. the

16:47

fans perhaps what perhaps that that

16:49

becomes such a distraction that you

16:52

don't accomplish what you're trying to

16:54

do but obviously at least on

16:56

his end this is pretty well

16:59

thought out that he can't trust

17:01

he can't trust this guy that's

17:03

right at this amount of money

17:06

yeah and so Chuck Daley used

17:08

to always say it better be

17:10

better to know where your next

17:13

job is and all of these

17:15

are two and three-year jobs so

17:17

Unless you have tremendous success. Jim,

17:20

I disagree with everybody who dismissed

17:22

this trade out of hand. It's

17:24

the worst trade they've ever seen.

17:27

It's awful. You don't trade this.

17:29

I mean, I just think that

17:31

Nico Harrison has got to know

17:34

a lot more than we know.

17:36

And for him to even think

17:38

of doing this, he's got to

17:41

have sincere doubts about the future.

17:43

of, you know, first of all,

17:45

he's obviously a great, great player.

17:48

But how long can he be

17:50

a great, great player? And will

17:52

those conditioning issues really impact his

17:55

longevity? He obviously thinks that they

17:57

will. You know, there's an interesting

17:59

scene, and I don't know if

18:02

it was last year, the year

18:04

before, whenever it was, where Michael

18:06

Finley, who works for great player

18:09

in his own right for the

18:11

maths, works for the organization, walks

18:13

by and takes a beer out

18:16

of Lucas' hand after a game.

18:18

It's on camera and it's out

18:20

there on social media. And so.

18:23

You know players used to smoke

18:25

in the dugout players, you know

18:27

used to smoke at halftime Bellicheck

18:30

tells some funny stories about this

18:32

You know what guys would do

18:34

and so we all know that

18:37

occurred But to see that in

18:39

this day and age Perhaps out

18:41

is a little window of insight.

18:44

That's a glitter of a moment.

18:46

Yeah, where he takes that out

18:48

of his hand and I'm not

18:51

suggesting he has any problems. I'm

18:53

just saying when you see that

18:55

and it's public Perhaps

18:57

that's what's led to some

19:00

of this decision-making. As for

19:02

the Lakers, unbelievable. They figure

19:04

out how to get shack,

19:06

Jerry West, dear friend, God

19:08

rest his soul, the best

19:11

executive ever, figures out how

19:13

to get Kobe. They trade

19:15

for Will. They trade for

19:17

Karim Abdul Jabbar. So the

19:19

Lakers, they just have this

19:22

magnetism. They get LeBron. Now

19:24

they are set up, at

19:26

least talent-wise. Yeah. If things

19:28

pan out with a guy

19:30

who's a top five player

19:33

in the NBA, a significant

19:35

encouraging upgrade to the fan

19:37

base to lift them out

19:39

of where they have been

19:41

outside of winning that championship

19:44

in the bubble that everybody

19:46

discounts to bring this, you

19:48

know, to bring fans to

19:50

downtown Los Angeles, going up

19:53

against a clipper team. uh...

19:55

that does not have the

19:57

attention that the Lakers get

19:59

even though they have a

20:01

better team a better arena

20:04

everything other than the brand.

20:06

Yeah. And you know, Jim,

20:08

one of the reasons that

20:10

Mahomes loves the NBA. I

20:12

think he wants an NBA

20:15

team eventually to come to

20:17

Kansas City, obviously. He's a

20:19

huge basketball fan. And it

20:21

just struck me, you know,

20:23

yesterday I sat down when

20:26

I was doing these notes.

20:28

I just said to myself,

20:30

you know, I'm really curious

20:32

where Patrick Mahomes ranks, he's

20:34

29 years old, how great

20:37

he's been before the age

20:39

of 30 and thinking about

20:41

Luca, 25 years old, how

20:43

great he's been before the

20:46

age of 30. And so

20:48

I just, I don't know,

20:50

I spent a half hour

20:52

or so, you know, fiddling

20:54

around with stats. And to

20:57

think that Patrick Mahomes, before

20:59

the age of 30 in

21:01

the playoffs, in the playoffs,

21:03

is 17 and 3 with

21:05

a 43 to 8 touchdown

21:08

to interception margin is absolutely

21:10

outrageous. It's outrageous. Playoffs, playoffs,

21:12

not regular season. And you

21:14

know, to me, I think

21:16

that as, you know, everybody's

21:19

talking about Lucas, a generational

21:21

talent. Jim, I just know,

21:23

I think we're fortunate right

21:25

now to be seeing my

21:27

homes. and to see a

21:30

guy who can legitimately be

21:32

comparable if he keeps going

21:34

to Tom Brady. And I

21:36

think both of us thought

21:39

five, six years ago, or

21:41

three years ago, three years

21:43

ago, three years ago, after

21:45

he won a seven Super

21:47

Bowl, to think that anybody

21:50

could ever be, you know,

21:52

talked about like Brady, and

21:54

who knows. Mahomes has miles

21:56

to go, but he's just...

21:58

It's amazing and I think

22:01

we're really fortunate to be

22:03

watching them. I think we're

22:05

fortunate too. I would caution

22:07

you there's a long way from three

22:10

to seven. Oh yeah. And a lot can

22:12

happen. But this Luka thing

22:14

is fascinating and you asked me

22:16

before we went on the air.

22:18

What compares? Yeah. The two that stood

22:21

out to me were Bay Ruth and Julius

22:23

Irving. Roy Bow who owned the team.

22:25

decided that it was financially to

22:28

his benefit to take three million

22:30

dollars rather than have the greatest

22:32

player who carried the ABA, one

22:34

of the main reasons for the

22:37

merger with the ABA and the NBA,

22:39

and the best player who then

22:41

carried the NBA in the Philadelphia

22:43

Sixers, and he moves him for

22:45

money. Three million dollars. So I

22:48

don't want to put Luca in

22:50

the category of Bay Ruth or Dr. Jay,

22:52

who had spectacular championship

22:54

careers. and are all-time great

22:57

names for a guy who's 25

22:59

years old who's accomplished very little

23:01

in terms of legacy and history

23:04

of the game but those come

23:06

to mind Peter how about you? I

23:08

really don't I thought of Bay Ruth

23:10

but I think Bay Ruth in retrospect

23:13

was gigantic I'm not sure

23:15

at the time it was as gigantic

23:17

as we thought but maybe it maybe

23:19

it was maybe it was maybe it

23:22

was maybe it was You know, it's

23:24

not just football season, it's wedding

23:26

season too. Trust the experts at

23:44

as we talked about Dr. Jay here

23:46

with Luka, what about the Eagles? Okay.

23:49

We've spent this entire time

23:51

with you talking about the

23:53

chief talking about Luca talking

23:55

about Andy Reed and Here come

23:57

the eagles and the eagles have

23:59

a heck of a chance to win

24:01

this game. And there's just

24:04

not that much attention,

24:06

at least early, early in this

24:08

week and the past week to

24:10

them. Why? You know, I heard Salpal

24:13

Antonio say a great stat

24:15

about this Philadelphia

24:17

team. They're only the second

24:19

team in Super Bowl history.

24:22

In addition to the 92

24:24

Cowboys, only the second team

24:27

that led the NFL and

24:29

team defense and led the

24:31

NFL in rushing in a

24:34

Super Bowl. And you know,

24:36

I think those two categories

24:38

right now to me, I think,

24:40

are going to be

24:43

a vital importance for

24:45

Steve Spagnolo and Andy

24:47

Reed to try to figure

24:49

out on Sunday. And I'll

24:52

just say one thing about

24:54

The thing I really admire

24:56

about this Philadelphia team.

24:58

I think how he roseman

25:00

and it's so interesting that

25:03

the chip Kelly now 10 years

25:05

after His last season almost

25:07

10 years because his last

25:10

year was 2015 in Philadelphia

25:12

To you know a decade

25:14

later when chip Kelly

25:17

totally marginalized how he

25:19

roseman. He really didn't

25:21

want him touching the football

25:24

product very much

25:26

in Philadelphia. That

25:28

now, Howie Roseman has come

25:31

back and even though

25:33

Executive of the Year I

25:35

think is always a weird pick

25:38

and I don't think he's

25:40

up for it this year

25:42

for some bizarre reason. But

25:44

Howie Roseman to me, if

25:46

you look at his drafts

25:49

along the front line,

25:51

They're absolutely incredible. When

25:53

he gets Jordan

25:56

Davis, Jaylon Carter,

25:58

Nolan Smith, high

26:00

in the drafts of the last

26:02

three years, and then gets Zach

26:04

Baughan on, you know, sort of

26:07

the refuse heap of free agency.

26:09

Didn't pay a lot of money

26:11

for him, and now he's first

26:13

team all pro. And he had

26:15

a great draft this year with

26:18

two starting DBs, Quinnion

26:20

Mitchell and Cooper Dijine.

26:22

I mean, this is how in

26:24

modern football, and I haven't

26:26

even mentioned the name Saekwan

26:28

Berkeley. This is how in

26:31

modern football, you build a great

26:33

team. You use every aspect. High-cost

26:36

free agency with Berkeley, low-cost

26:38

free agency, bargain-free agency with

26:40

Zach Bond. The draft with

26:42

all of these five huge

26:44

impact players on your defense,

26:47

all from the draft in

26:49

the last three years. I

26:51

mean, Howie Roseman is state

26:53

of the art right now. And I

26:55

think if the Philadelphia Eagles

26:57

win, Howie Roseman better have

27:00

a very prominent spot

27:02

in the parade up Broad

27:05

Street Peter King who wins

27:07

Kind of like the Eagles Jim

27:09

I Think that Every week

27:11

you say well geez if

27:14

you can just take those

27:16

huge runs away from Saekwan

27:18

Berkeley you can win this

27:20

game and and you think

27:22

well Okay, everybody says that

27:25

every week And then you

27:27

look up and he's got 118,

27:29

162, 188. He's just got huge

27:32

weeks every week. So stopping

27:34

him is one thing, but I

27:36

think Jaylon hurts feeling

27:38

a little bit unshackled in

27:40

this offense as the season

27:43

has gone on. I think they're

27:45

going to be able to do

27:47

enough on offense against a really

27:49

good defense and a great defensive

27:51

coordinator in Steve Spagnolo. And I

27:53

think unlike a lot of Kansas

27:56

City games this year, it's going

27:58

to be high scoring. Even

28:00

though Mahomes has only scored

28:02

over 30 once and he's facing

28:04

the number one defense in football,

28:06

I just think Patrick Mahomes

28:09

and Andy Reid are going to figure

28:11

it out. I think it'll be a

28:13

lot like the game a couple of

28:15

years ago. I just think Philadelphia is

28:17

a little better. Peter, enjoy your

28:19

time at home watching it on

28:22

28:24
