00:00:26
Speaker
Pete, what's up, dude? What up, man? It's been a
Super Bowl 59 Recap: Chiefs' Loss and Future Outlook
00:00:30
Speaker
been a little bit since Super Bowl 59. I needed the recovery time. I'll be honest. Not because we lost, but the manner in which we lost required recovery time.
00:00:45
Speaker
Well, the score ended up being honestly probably closer than the game was, which is odd to say an 18-point game. It was definitely aster definitely closer than the game was.
00:00:57
Speaker
Thanks to hitting, ah I know we'll get to it, thanks to hitting my two touchdown bet there. they only yeah The only positive that would have come out of that.
00:01:08
Speaker
So before we do, let's just talk about the game in general. Dude, just thumps. I mean, like... And my kids were waiting whenever I got to school just to start giving me. I'm like, dude, I got nothing to say.
00:01:23
Speaker
they were They were just plain beat. The Chiefs just got plain beat. Yeah. And, you know, we saw each other that weekend, and we both, ah you know, discussed – you know Obviously, we both picked the Chiefs. You were a little Homer-ish on picking them.
00:01:44
Speaker
Obviously, there's no way you were picking against them. And I picked them just based upon... are really just Mahomes just winning it. And and honestly, ah we had the discussion on Sunday morning, I think, before you left to go back to Arkansas, that a close game would favor the Chiefs. And typically Super Bowls are close.
00:02:05
Speaker
And so that's another reason why we're going with the Chiefs. um But if either team were to blow out the other, that we agreed that it would be the Eagles that would have blown out the Chiefs.
00:02:16
Speaker
I remember having that conversation. Might not have been with you, but I remember having that conversation. that You're right. We didn't either one
00:02:28
Speaker
either one expect a blowout, but we were like, if it's a blowout, it'll go in favor of the Eagles. Yes. you know there was There wasn't really any world where the Chiefs were going to go out there and have a 35-point lead or whatever it was that the Eagles had at one point.
00:02:46
Speaker
um But we we were anticipating more of a close game. It wasn't. ah It reminded me a lot until the Chiefs scored late. It
Chiefs' Defense: Stopping Barkley and Hurts' Performance
00:02:54
Speaker
reminded me a lot of the Broncos-Seahawks game. in 2013, where just from the from the jump, you know, the Broncos, if I'm not mistaken, the first snap of the game, they snap it over Manning's head for a safety or a defensive touchdown, one or the other. yeah um I'm trying to block that out of my memory as well.
00:03:12
Speaker
So from the jump in that game, you know, the Seahawks are all over the Broncos. And really from the jump the from the jump of this game, Mahomes had no rhythm. I haven't watched every Chiefs game, obviously, since he's played. You're a fan. You've probably watched every Chiefs game, if not all of them, or if not close.
00:03:32
Speaker
That's the worst half I've seen him play. He was terrible in the first half. it was He was horrible. He was – yeah, he was – I've never seen him play that bad, um not even as a rookie.
00:03:44
Speaker
Yeah. But i am going to say i am going to say the Chiefs defense deserves more credit than they're going to get because of the score, um because they were out there a ton.
00:03:57
Speaker
the ah Here was my take on the defense, um and actually the game, Pete, in my opinion. um Spag said Saquon will not beat us, period.
00:04:09
Speaker
If they're going to win this game, Hurts is going to have to do it, and he's going to have to do it with his receivers. we're not We are not going to give them – we're not letting Saquon do this.
00:04:21
Speaker
And Jalen Hurts answered the bell, and that's – I haven't seen him play a ton of games, but I haven't seen – play games that are better than that very often.
00:04:33
Speaker
he yeah He played very well. And so, but I mean, hats off. that was that was the That was what the defense was willing to give and say, if Jalen can beat us for four quarters, they win.
00:04:47
Speaker
And sure enough, he did. Yeah, I mean, you can go back and look at the stats. Barkley did not have a good game. Yeah, and and a lot of that, people want to say, well, Barkley played a horrible game. Well, running backs are 90% dependent on who's blocking in front. i Maybe not 90%, but...
00:05:06
Speaker
Over 50% of their production is going to be predicated on how well they're blocking in front of them and what the defense is doing to take away ah the running game. and And the Chiefs did. I mean, they're stuffing them early on, averaging less than two and a half yards of carry for a long time.
00:05:22
Speaker
um it might have ended a little differently but i'm i'm looking right now at the scoring summary you know um i did think the defense played well and i kept telling i was watching the game at my parents for the first half i kept telling my dad man the chiefs defense is just there's out there way too much it's a lot of plays lot of snaps uh the eagles ran back a pick six for seven points And they had a 14-yard drive after interception for a touchdown. So 14 points out of the 40, okay, which puts them down into what, the 26 range? 26. Yeah, it'd be 26. So
00:06:02
Speaker
You know, those 14 points you could say weren't on the defense. So, well, um seven of them definitely weren't. And the other seven, you could argue that four points were on the defense. They could have forced a field goal or whatever.
00:06:15
Speaker
But that was a sudden change and all this other stuff. So the defense played really well. only The only touchdown they gave up in the second half was the bomb to Devontae Smith, which they probably weren't expecting.
00:06:26
Speaker
And the rest of the scores in the second half for the Eagles were all field goals. So Chiefs defense played well. Mahomes played bad, put them in bad situations early. Whatever it was, they were off kilter, just off balance, not in sync.
Travis Kelce: Retirement Speculations and Career Reflection
00:06:40
Speaker
And they felt too far behind for it to matter in the end. Yep, I agree. So, you know, now the talk is – um is is Travis going to stay, right? Does Travis stay or go?
00:06:53
Speaker
I really do. i can I didn't think about it at the time. we don't know if we ever talked about it, but I didn't think that he went into this. I wasn't thinking he would might retire, but I can see now kind of the after going,
00:07:11
Speaker
Hey, if we three-peat, I'm out of here. like This is the thing to go. if If that was his choice, I mean, I i could see it.
00:07:23
Speaker
I don't see him retiring after this game. I don't think he wants his last game to be this one. Here's the thing. i I get you, and I would agree with you.
00:07:36
Speaker
Except, let's just be honest, man. what's he What's he got? He can still pass Jerry Rice in playoff. You know what I mean? what is it Is it touchdowns that he still trails in? I don't even know. I don't know. I don't remember. I think it's touchdowns.
00:07:55
Speaker
I think that's it. I think he's passed in the yards. He's passed in receptions. But I think it's touchdowns that he that he trails in. um But...
00:08:08
Speaker
if you were wanting the three P let's just, let's, let's just, I wanted it, right? I wanted it because of what it is. Pete, it's never been done in 65 years.
00:08:22
Speaker
Never happened. It is that rare. We know it's rare because we know if you win a super bowl the next year, you're getting everybody's best shot guaranteed. Now you're the measuring stick.
00:08:35
Speaker
The chiefs were the measuring stick for two years. Um, got everybody's best shot for two years. Um, don and then you get into playoffs and what really happens is you get the best shot of somebody that's better than you.
00:08:54
Speaker
I, uh, I'll never forget talking to George Frost whenever, uh, I was doing stats at Mod, Texas, a little B2A school, and we were playing the number two team in the state at the time, Big Sandy, another little B2A school.
00:09:11
Speaker
And I asked George Frost, I said, man, how's this game going to go? Like, you know, what are you looking at? And he literally looked me in the face and goes, if we play our best game and they play their best game, we're going to lose by 30%.
00:09:27
Speaker
But maybe they won't play their best game. ah We can play our best game, and it'll be closer. you know But ah I think that's how this – honestly, it's how this I felt like the Super Bowl went.
00:09:42
Speaker
If both teams played their best game, it's a close game, and you got something to go. But if one
Athletes and Retirement: Records, Goals, and Kelsey Brothers
00:09:47
Speaker
slips, right, and that was Travis. Travis has for years – done there's no three-peat coming in his career.
00:09:56
Speaker
They're not going the next three years to the Super Bowl and winning. You know what i mean? It's not going to happen. So, if that was the mark, man, you missed your chance at that.
00:10:08
Speaker
So, what do you have left? I mean, the Kelseys have built a hell of a little dynasty for themselves outside of football. He's going to get to walk right into um And that's fine. They earned it. hey i got no, you know what I mean? I got, God bless them. That is a fan great for them and their family, you know?
00:10:33
Speaker
um So you gotta, I would understand he's like, dude, what, it what I'm going to play for two more records. I'm not going to get the thing that was right in my hand. and but That's never going to come back into my hand.
00:10:47
Speaker
You know, so then you got to say if that's not in play, what's he have left to play for? Yeah, I just – it wouldn't shock me, obviously, if he did.
00:10:58
Speaker
And he's obviously set up for his post-playing career very well. But I just – and almost kind of like his brother Jason. His brother Jason didn't quit after he lost the Super Bowl either, even though I think going into that game he was ready to.
00:11:12
Speaker
And when he didn't, he still hung on for another year and still played really well, still at an all-pro level. um And obviously the Eagles did not play very well ah towards the end of that his last season and and lost. This was, I guess, the last football season, not the one that just concluded.
00:11:28
Speaker
But ah I just don't see him – because Travis didn't play very well in the Super Bowl. No, Travis did not play well. I just don't see him –
00:11:41
Speaker
Ego is probably not the right word. Maybe his pride. yeah a guy like him that's that's so competitive and so prideful in his work and his game, I don't see him wanting that to be his last game.
00:11:54
Speaker
I think that's what pushes him to play another year. i I would believe if he plays another year, I think you're dead on. That's exactly what does it. But eventually, Pete, we've watched how many in our lifetimes already, right?
00:12:08
Speaker
How many athletes make that choice? And eventually, Father Time catches up. And it doesn't matter how proud you are. Oh, yeah. They're just bigger, faster, stronger you now.
00:12:19
Speaker
Mm-hmm. No, you're right. You're right. My second thing, observation, and I'm going to split this observation into a prediction.
00:12:32
Speaker
Legion of Zoom is back in Kansas City next year. They're going to go heavy ah offense. They're going back to slinging the ball down the field. What we saw with Rasheed Rice last year, the second half of the season into the playoffs, because remember, they even went to putting him in the backfield with Pacheco sometimes.
00:12:52
Speaker
It's exactly what they did with Worthy. And then Rasheed comes out this year before he gets hurt, and he's killing it. And now you're going to have two guys that are less than 25 years old, and they're going to keep somebody. I don't think they keep DeHop. I really think they keep Hollywood Brown. They resign him um because he's going to be the cheaper guy with coming off the injury.
00:13:18
Speaker
He doesn't have a body of work.
00:13:21
Speaker
I'm going tell you, i think that's the I think when they met, they said, okay, Spags, we know you're going to lose a couple, but we still believe you can keep us under 28 easy.
00:13:35
Speaker
We're going to go back to trying to air the ball out and score 35-plus thirty five plus a game um So that means the offense, and here's the thing, in order to do that, all they got to invest in is the line.
00:13:50
Speaker
They don't have anything else they've got to invest in Everything else is there and locked down and in place. So that was that was my thought and watching again, and I kind of thought I saw it coming. We talked about it.
00:14:04
Speaker
And now I'm like, okay, I believe that Worthy can be that guy and that you're going to have a Legion of Zoom kind of, you know, Legion of Zoom 2 coming up over the next three to five years.
00:14:21
Speaker
I could definitely see that. I think that's what they should lean towards when you have Mahomes. But, yeah, they just invest in offensive line and give him more time to throw it. I mean, Pacheco's there. He's still very good. He's explosive. He had kind of a weird year with his injuries.
00:14:38
Speaker
obviously, Hollywood Brown can go when he's healthy. He'd be a great number two. And if Kelsey does come back, he can still work all your underneath stuff. So you send everybody down the field and let Kelsey work underneath, on the linebackers and what have you, and they'll be just fine.
00:14:54
Speaker
Now, on the flip side, the eagles absolutely the Eagles absolutely dominated both lines of scrimmage. Yes, they did. Their defense is really young, really good. ah Credit to them, their GM, and how they've built that defense. Obviously, everybody you know everybody knows the offensive players you know with Brown and Barkley, Hurts, all those guys.
00:15:14
Speaker
Devontae Smith, you can go on and on, but their offensive line and their defensive line, and now their secondary, because that's what hurt them two years ago, is their secondary was really bad, and they fixed it.
00:15:26
Speaker
so Props to them. i mean They played really well. We talked about the Chiefs, you know certain Chiefs playing bad what have you in the in the game, but The Eagles are set up very well, too. They really are. Okay.
00:15:37
Speaker
So, let's move. We talked about the game overall. We talked about Trav. All right, Pete. Let's move on to the good stuff. Now, here's my disclaimer. We did not. Pete did the did the calculations here on our prop bets as though we placed $10 a bet on it.
00:15:56
Speaker
We did not do that. Correct. Correct. We did not actually place that bet. However, it was the the final, the tally is as though we placed $10 per bet as we went along.
00:16:13
Speaker
The good news is, Pete just told me today, we would both have been in the positive. So we would have both made it. We'd have both made a little money. ah So we might, hey, maybe handicapping is in our future.
00:16:28
Speaker
Well, we ah We did okay. There is one i will say i threw out. um and And obviously, these I pulled these numbers from the internet from different sports books as I was going back and re-googling the the final lines and stuff like that. So some of them might be a dollar or two off, but it's as accurate as I could get it.
00:16:50
Speaker
um The one bet that i ah basically canceled, I guess, in our own way, since this is all make-believe anyway, was the over-under for the national anthem. some sportsbooks painted out as over, some painted out as under.
00:17:03
Speaker
So there's a big, like, was it over, under? It's like, it's right on the dot, basically. So I just went ahead canceled it. I timed it myself. I had it as over. But I don't know exactly when. that Do they start it when he starts his first word? Do they start it when they start the music?
00:17:21
Speaker
You know, it's it's it's so, I don't know. So I knocked that one
Super Bowl Prop Bets: Results and Surprises
00:17:25
Speaker
out. So in total, we ended up with,
00:17:29
Speaker
14 bets. And so I hit eight and you hit five. So you were five out of 14. I was eight of 14. Nevermind the handicapping. Pete, that's twice. I've not done well in this game.
00:17:45
Speaker
No, well, just wait because I might have hit a lot of $1 bets, and you might have hit a big one. So you might have actually won more money than me. So let's talk through it. So heads or tails?
00:17:57
Speaker
It's basically a coin flip. It's bet 10 to win 9, and ah it was tails. I had tails. You had heads. So I won $9 there. You were minus 10. Yeah, for 1.
00:18:10
Speaker
The next one was the biggest one for me. was the Gatorade color. I picked yellow green. It was plus 400. You picked red. It was yellow. So I won $40 on that one, and that's really what saved me.
00:18:24
Speaker
And you were minus 10 again there. We both missed the first ad brand. I had Pepsi. You had Bud Light. Don't remember who it was, but I remember watching the game, and it was not either of those two.
00:18:35
Speaker
Right. I don't remember who it was either. Right. So I know we both lost that one. The next one was another good one for me. um Who does the MVP thank first? he He thanked God first.
00:18:49
Speaker
yeah So that was that was plus 200. So I hit 20 bucks there. You were minus 10. So right now you're minus 40. And right now i am i am plus 59.
00:19:01
Speaker
So umm I'm doing well right now. But we're not done yet. So the next one we both hit, opening opening kickoff touchback. We both got it.
00:19:14
Speaker
Unfortunately, it only won us $3 out of our $10 bet. Well, let's want that's such a thing, right? when we We knew it. Everybody knew It doesn't pay well.
00:19:27
Speaker
Next one, Super Bowl MVP. We both picked Chiefs. You picked Mahomes. I picked Chris Jones. We both lost negative 10 on that one. Next one was the game. We both picked the Chiefs. Do you remember what Jayla paid?
00:19:41
Speaker
For MVP? I do not. I do know he would him and Mahomes were the top two betting favorites, so he maybe was plus a little money.
00:19:53
Speaker
um Next one, we both picked the Chiefs. We both got negative 10 on that one. Okay, then Chuck is about to go on a run here, fellas. Okay, over, under, 48 and a half. Right now, am I minus like 60?
00:20:10
Speaker
Right now, you're minus 57. Yeah, so I need a run. I mean, we got to go.
00:20:21
Speaker
All right, so over under 48 and a half, cleared the over easily. I mean, the Eagles scored 40. so that Thank Xavier.
00:20:32
Speaker
we yeah So that was nine bucks apiece, so we both hit that one. The next one, even though you said it was under, the sportsbooks are paying the over on 10 and a half songs at halftime for Kendrick.
00:20:45
Speaker
And I had them at 11. So they paid the over. I don't know couple of them were real short. I guess so. But they're they're paying the because I looked it up today.
00:20:57
Speaker
That only won me six bucks, but that's better than the minus 10 that you got for the over on the Kendrick Lamar. right, so the next one, folks. This is where the Chucksters in the money.
00:21:10
Speaker
Does somebody score two touchdowns? I bet on Saquon Barkley. I lost 10 bucks. He bet on Xavier Worthy. You won $120 on
00:21:23
Speaker
That's called gambling right there, Pete. That's gambling. We're gambling, baby. and so All you got to do is hit one big one. You feel good. Right? that Hey, yeah. now we're Now we're back to competing.
00:21:37
Speaker
Now we're back in the competition. The next one was Travis Kelsey proposal. We both said no. Unfortunately, we won $1 for our $10 bet.
00:21:50
Speaker
It was the best I could find there. next At least it wasn't a loss. That's right. We'll take it. It's better than minus 10. That would have been a bad bet.
00:22:01
Speaker
Okay, the light the next to last one is will either kicker hit the upright or crossbar on a missed field goal or extra point attempt? We both said yes, and we both lost that one. And Jake Elliott had a good the game of the playoffs for him, man.
00:22:17
Speaker
He sure did. Even got froze on a couple, like late, like false starts, backing them up after he kicked it. i was like, man, he's going to miss one of these eventually, right, where he's going to re-kick. He sure didn't.
00:22:30
Speaker
He did well. And the last one, will Taylor Swift perform? And Lane led you astray on this one. Minus 10 for Chuck. She did not perform. And I won a measly $1 by saying no on that bet.
00:22:47
Speaker
So, in total, I hit 8 out of 14, like I said. Not a bad percentage there. But I only netted $29. $29.
00:22:56
Speaker
Oh, I feel good about this. I feel good about where this is going. Chuck, on the other hand, hit five of 14. Not a great percentage, but he netted $47. Yes!
00:23:07
Speaker
a
00:23:10
Speaker
like Xavier Worthy, baby! So that's what i call that's what I call some Central Texas gambling right there. I'm going to place all these little penny bets and sweat them all out just to win $29. $29.
00:23:26
Speaker
that's That's my kind of gambling. I'm going to tell you. You can imagine at the house because Pete's right. So Sunday. So the weekend of the Super Bowl, we worked this glazier clinic together with some buddies of ours. And, I mean, it's the first time in six years that I wasn't there to ship everything off. Like, as soon as we got everything packed up and accounted for, um like, all right, guys, I'm out.
00:23:51
Speaker
You know, you're going to have to pack the pallets. I got to get back to Arkansas and get this game. And so I hauled. And you can imagine it was not –
00:24:04
Speaker
A fun day in the car household. and and And let me tell you, i had bought a special bottle to celebrate with. I bought special cigars.
00:24:21
Speaker
Guys, I was like, I was off on Monday. i was like ready I was ready, and I didn't feel like partying.
00:24:34
Speaker
Anyway, I did not feel like partying at all. i don't blame you. Yeah. That imaginary $47 would have had you feeling better.
00:24:46
Speaker
A little bit. When worthy would Worthy caught that touchdown, that second touchdown, first of all, I thought – That was a nice catch. like that's that was That was well done. That was a good ball. it was well contested. That was a very nice play.
00:25:02
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Secondly, I thought, hey I think I picked Worthy do two touchdowns. You know, I got back, Pete, and I didn't get to place one bet on the game. Like, I had my app. but I'm trying to get my app going.
00:25:15
Speaker
Jana's on my case. Are you going to cook these wings? Are you going do this? I'm like, ah, I'm trying to do everything at once and didn't get a single bet placed. But I was placing that one.
00:25:26
Speaker
That's what aggravates me is I was going to place – Worthy getting two. But I was also going to take Worthy. I was going to parlay it with Worthy over five rushing yards because they had they had a prop bet of him five and a half, I think it was.
00:25:42
Speaker
And so I would have lost anyway because I was going to parlay that dude. That would have been like ah like a thousand of one or something. If you were to put $100 on the two touchdowns, that's $1,200. Think about some degenerate gambler.
00:25:59
Speaker
who drunkenly $1,000 on Worthy to score twice. Think of how good of a night that guy had. That guy had a heck of a night.
00:26:10
Speaker
He did it. Let me tell you something. That smoothed over some of the wounds of the game right there. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
00:26:24
Speaker
Yeah, so...
Reactions to Chiefs' Performance and Mahomes' Legacy
00:26:25
Speaker
um
00:26:28
Speaker
i'm gonna The other thing I'm going to say to kind of close out, I guess, our Super Bowl NFL talk, Overreaction Monday. I love that Pat McAfee names it Overreaction Monday, you know, because Overreaction Monday had a bunch of talking heads going, see, Pat Mahomes will never be in the GOAT conversation, da-da-da-da-da. It's like, guys,
00:26:56
Speaker
What an overreaction. What a crazy overreaction. I know that's, I get it. I know that's how it felt. That's how, I mean, but I'm going to tell you, there's nothing that I saw.
00:27:14
Speaker
I saw a team that played like crap. You know what I mean? They were the deep on defense. They made a gamble. The team was so good. They had to pick a poison.
00:27:25
Speaker
They pick their poison and lost. And that happens. you know what I mean? Sometimes, you know, if you ask Spags, would you do it exactly the same?
00:27:36
Speaker
He might say yes. And he might go, well, maybe I pick the other poison to see what happens. You know what I mean? Maybe I decide. Yeah. You can only have Saquon. You know, we're not going to let Jalen beat us.
00:27:49
Speaker
Um,
00:27:52
Speaker
The a line couldn't, I mean, like I said, man, Jalen Carter, know those those guys, that line played awesome. ah The deep man's played well enough.
00:28:03
Speaker
I feel like the defense to win that game. um The offense didn't,
00:28:11
Speaker
you know, yeah what are you going to do? again,
Chiefs' Future: Talent, Strategy, and Prospects
00:28:15
Speaker
I take some solace in, I think and over the next three years, Pat's going to put up ridiculous numbers. He's going to look like Peyton Manning again because I think they got that kind of talent and speed at receiver and it's young.
00:28:30
Speaker
um If Kelsey leaves, they may keep D hop to try to get him to play that role. I can see that happen. Noah Gray's a more than serviceable tight end.
00:28:42
Speaker
um So I mean, there Nick Bolton is going to be an issue. We've got to see if we can hold on to him. ah after car lock is Carlotis is going to be around.
00:28:55
Speaker
We're going to lose them in a minute, but I think that's okay. You know what i mean? think I don't think we're going to get keep him. I think we're going lose him. I'm more concerned about losing Nadi off the defensive line.
00:29:06
Speaker
But let me tell you, Brett Veach has drafted dogs, and he's drafted them at every part of the draft. So, ah man, the closest I could think to a miss would be when they went after the left tackle. ah Was he from BYU?
00:29:28
Speaker
The Samoan kid they drafted in second round. Very athletic. Couldn't tell you. Anyway, he's very athletic. Think they can make him a left tackle. Very strong. Very raw.
00:29:40
Speaker
And he didn't he didn't show out this year. You know what i mean? He didn't make it this year. I did read an article that DJ Humphreys wants to get a contract. He wants to work the offseason. He thinks he can come back and contribute. Maybe he can. Maybe he can't. That may be a cheaper option.
00:29:59
Speaker
You know, and then draft somebody for You may be able to do that, draft somebody for backup, and then move the wrong kid to right tackle where you can get away with being a mauler and just being athletic and strong and not have to be quite as technical.
00:30:16
Speaker
you know yeah Those guys will figure it out. they have There's no reason no other reason this team's been this good for this long. And lost what they've lost. You know what I mean, as far as players go.
00:30:28
Speaker
So, I feel like we'll be back. I feel like we're closer to Cowboys beat.
00:30:35
Speaker
they They can't lose Bolton. I'll say that. They can't lose him.
00:30:43
Speaker
Cowboys just got to hope and pray. they get some gems in the draft because Jerry don't do squat and free agency. So even though the cap just went up like 20, 30 million, it don't matter.
00:30:56
Speaker
We ain't signing nobody. what was certainly What was the cap jump? I knew they just announced it, didn't they? It went up a little bit, like I think between 20 and 30 million. I mean, it's a significant jump.
00:31:08
Speaker
Myles Garrett wants to be a cowboy. We'll see if Jerry can pull that one off. That'd be crazy to bring Myles Garrett. What are you gonna do with Myles Garrett? Perfect. You're going to put him opposite Micah Parsons and just yes run up field and replay?
00:31:26
Speaker
Yes. Get leads on people, baby. And pat rush the pass. Stop the run on the way of the pass. If you get Myles Garrett, you just got to draft a bunch of interior defenses. Fix your linebackers and draft you a DT and then go to work.
00:31:41
Speaker
Pass rush, baby. yeah love to They'd never have to blitz. Golly. It'd be like Philadelphia. Brush four and drop seven in coverage.
00:31:53
Speaker
Yes, and that's how you got to win. You got to be able to do that a bunch to win. You can't blitz 90% of the time. Like the the Lions were having to do, and this is getting back in our NFL talk, but that was that was the Lions' big issue. They lost Hutchinson and had to blitz a ton to generate pressure, and and then you're going to run into a hot quarterback that will just beat the blitz.
00:32:14
Speaker
Now, you want to talk about a perfect fit. Let the Lions trade for miles to put opposite of Hutchinson. And let that defense cook. It'd be tough.
00:32:24
Speaker
That'd be tough, man. If they can stay healthy. Of course, that was... yeah That's everybody. yeah and To me, that was, of course, what happened to... Oh, Motor City Dan.
00:32:37
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Defense was too banged up. And then they just got... The commanders just whipped them. I mean, offensively. Yeah. Yeah. Well, man, it was fun. It was it was fun to to get to do this part.
00:32:51
Speaker
I like that we got to get going again right here at the end of the NFL season. um we got sure no I know we got all the time in the world if we wanted it, but we're going to cut this one a little bit a little bit short.
00:33:06
Speaker
um
Upcoming Episodes: Coach Interviews and Strategies
00:33:08
Speaker
Let's talk a little bit about what we got coming up. Yeah.
00:33:13
Speaker
Um, so beat and I are pretty excited. We, uh, anyway, we enjoy doing this. We don't get paid to do this. This is not a monetized thing for us. Um,
00:33:26
Speaker
at all, but it's something that we enjoy. And honestly, and I think Pete will agree with me, we're coming up on the season when we really get to enjoy it. And we're getting to talk about like some of the ins and outs of coaching and get to talk ball and, and, uh, some things that really, we hope will help coaches, young coaches, experienced coaches.
00:33:46
Speaker
Um, and it's a time we get to talk with some folks that have helped us along the way. um,
00:33:55
Speaker
Anyway, so next, I'm going to say next episode, our next recording anyway, we're going to record with a buddy of mine. and Pete, here's my only teaser of it.
00:34:08
Speaker
I'll give two teasers. Actually, I said my only, I'm going give two. So Alex coaches, uh, in Brazil. So he coaches American football in Brazil and that's his job.
00:34:19
Speaker
So, uh, I can't wait to get him on and get to, he has been to the States before. he spent a season with Baylor when Matt rule was there.
00:34:30
Speaker
Um, he got to experience even a high school ball, um, came to a couple of small school games with me. um Anyway, super dude, ah loves the game, loves what he's doing.
00:34:45
Speaker
So he's going to talk to us a little bit about what they do in Brazil, what he sees and even opportunities, what kind of opportunities there are for the growth of the sport there in Brazil. But also, and Pete, I'll be honest. I had blocked this out of my memory completely.
00:35:04
Speaker
i bet you've never even heard this story. But y'all are going to hear about the time that I got lost all alone in a Brazilian prison.
00:35:19
Speaker
I'm not playing. i Yeah, I was working with Alex and some other guys. we'll save it like this. They left.
00:35:29
Speaker
I went to the restroom and they left. And I came out of the restroom and I was in a Brazilian prison. all by myself. Yeah. Talk about need to write a movie about that.
00:35:45
Speaker
Luckily it didn't end up being movie necessary, but you can imagine the scenarios that went through my head and like how scared, pissed and like just completely like, Oh my God, what in the world is going on?
00:36:04
Speaker
ah I was there. But I'll be honest with you, I had not even thought about it until we started talking to Alex. And I started thinking about the show. I was like, ah holy crap.
00:36:17
Speaker
I'm going to make Alex talk about the time they left me in a Brazilian prison. Sounds like they need a ah bus seating chart. Check it off. Well, they didn't leave the campus. Luckily, they didn't leave the whole prison.
00:36:33
Speaker
Okay. They left me in the part of the prison, and apparently the guards came and got the group and said, hey, we got to And they took them, and nobody recognized, and I was gone. That's crazy. I can't wait. I can't wait to hear this one.
00:36:48
Speaker
Dude, it was – anyway, yeah, we'll share about that. So that'll be – I'll see what Alex remembers about that besides – the relief whenever I found them.
00:37:01
Speaker
But anyway, but we're looking forward to that. That'll probably be our next episode. um Pete, I didn't bring the bag with me, which they couldn't see it anyway. So while we were at Glacier,
00:37:14
Speaker
we got to talking with a ah friend of ours that coaches in Dallas area, in the Dallas area. And his father-in-law's a retired coach. How long did he say he coached? 25, 30 years.
00:37:28
Speaker
Yeah, somewhere in there, 25 to 30 years. ah High school, being a high school coach. And when he retired, he he got hooked up with a coffee coach brewery bro roasting company i don't know anything about coffee whatever it's called yeah but whatever it is whatever it is but um they started a company called coaches coffee and i'll put the website for this um they brought some samples for us to drink during the during the uh
00:38:02
Speaker
But during the clinic, I can't get my words out, man. During the clinic. and And, man, it was good coffee. He sent me home with a bag um of their Blitz, which is their medium dark.
00:38:17
Speaker
We drank lot of dark roast. um And it was good. But he sent me home. And I'm going to tell you, Pete, the medium Blitz is really good.
00:38:26
Speaker
I like it a lot. one of the One of my favorite things is near the aroma. I love the smell of coffee. And the aroma of the of the beans and the coffee itself were unbelievable. They were good. so It is good. It's organic coffee.
00:38:44
Speaker
Very high quality. And you can actually subscribe. And they will ship it to you automatically, kind of like... Um, ah back in the day, Jebelia, I think used to do this or whatever. Anyway, but, um, I'm going to put the, uh, link in our descriptor.
00:39:05
Speaker

00:39:17
Speaker
coffee co.com but i will put it in i will put it the link in there um if you're a coach or if you feel like coffee give it a shot buy a couple of bags see what you think um And let us, I mean, let these guys know that you heard it from us.
00:39:40
Speaker
um We're not getting paid to do that. We're not getting paid to push this guy's coffee. This is us being coaches um and saying, man, I liked it. I enjoyed it and and shared it.
00:39:53
Speaker
Yeah, absolutely. You could tell by our butchering of our advertisement here, we're not getting paid for this bad boy. but You know, you sat there and let me butcher this thing, Pete. I'm going to blame you. I'm telling Jason it's your fault. No, you you did fine. It's me cutting in. But it is it is coaches, so C-O-A-C-H-S, coffeeco.com. So C-O after coffee. So I just looked it up. So very friendly website, tells you all about it.
00:40:21
Speaker
And obviously it's supporting boarding one of the fellow coaches here in Texas.
00:40:28
Speaker
So one other thing we are looking at, ah so we're looking at putting a couple things together for the future, hoping to, um i don't know, we're we're hoping to maybe make the THSCA coaching school convention this year, not as coaches, but as touch and throws and actually broadcast from there.
00:40:52
Speaker
Yeah, interacting with coaches, coaches' wives, footballers, um there's There's a lot of different different ideas and stuff we're bouncing off of each other. Have some possible giveaways, some sponsorships open and um for that opportunity to to be in front of, oh gosh, I don't know, there's close to 30,000 coaches there, not including all the wives that come walk around and and the Coach's Wives Association that that checks in as well. So, yeah.
00:41:18
Speaker
Well, hopefully we can get in front of a lot of eyes and maybe we can get some some new people, obviously, some people we know to hop on with us and and talk ball and and maybe talk through some situations, do some little games and stuff with them and and just have a good time.
00:41:36
