to give you something on the Super Bowl, and then
I want to get to a story of the day. Okay,
here's something on the Super Bowl. I know they've been
(01:04):
here nine times and I know they have lost before, right,
but remember the two losses that they have. We're both
to the New York giants, and there are there's part
of the kind of the giants that we see here
with the with the Rams, right, a great pass rush
in which you don't have to send any help. You
(01:26):
don't have to send five or six or Casino blitz
Tom Brady, you got four dudes that can just get
after you. The l A. Rams spent and spent wisely
on the places that it counts up front in the trenches,
on both sides of the football. And they spent on
(01:46):
in Dominican Sue who, for my money, should have won
the Heisman Trophies his last year in Nebraska because he
was the best college football player in America by a mile.
And then of course they have Aaron Donald, who they
gave the biggest contract we've ever seen to a player
at his position. They spent and spent wisely. But here's
(02:09):
why I'm telling you now that I'm taking the Patriots.
I don't think they have better individual players. I don't
think Tom Brady is nearly the quarterback he used to be.
It's not just about Belichick and his coaching in their
game plan. It's not just about the fact they've been
here before, or the fact that, uh, the L A.
(02:30):
Rams don't have a lot of depth in their defensive line.
And you give Belichick, Brady and Josh McDaniels a week
to figure it out, and they say, well, not only
just you know, run, hurry up, tire them out, get
to their legs so that they're winded in the fourth quarter.
Remember last year's Philadelphia Eagle team had a great defensive
(02:53):
line and the Patriots did not punt, not once. It's this,
I grew up in an era of blowouts in the
Super Bowl. John Elway's as good a quarterback as I've
ever seen play the position. He's amazing. And truth be told,
(03:14):
Elway and the Broncos shouldn't have been in the Super
Bowl again because they should have lost to the Cleveland Browns.
Browns hadn't beat two years in a row. I do
you remember, right? There was the drive and then there
was the Ernest Biner fumble? Do you remember those? And
what happens when a team gets somewhere that they shouldn't be,
(03:36):
They get exposed. That's what generally happens. You factor in
that the Rams probably shouldn't be here. I'm not saying
that that the Saints, you know, didn't screw it. Up
in their own right. But the Rams shouldn't be here.
I think all of us agree. The Rams have not
been nearly as good as their talent would tell you
(03:56):
they should be through the second half of the season.
You do factor in that they haven't been here before.
You factor in that you give Belichick a chance to
spot and and expose the weakness you do have Jared Goff,
who at times looks just okay back there, Todd Gurley
doesn't seem to be right. But here's the one I
(04:16):
can't get away from. I grew up when Super Bowls
were blowouts, and the Patriots are part of the generation
that's changed that. Because even when they've been beaten twice
by the Giants both of those, they're one play away
from winning. Wes Welker hauls down a pass that falls
off his fingertips on third down from Tom Brady. Remember
(04:39):
remember Tom Brady's wife, Giselle, afterwards, my husband cannot throw
and catch the ball afterwards? That do both You remember that?
Or David Tyree and their first Super Bowl loss when
he had to have stick them superglue and any other
sort of substance to catch the football against his helmet.
When Eli Manning should have been in the grasp in
(05:01):
the backfield, and the refs decided to not blow it dead.
You remember that this is how good they are. Sure
they needed to read a play and Malcolm Butler make
the play of his career. Sure they needed the greatest
comeback in the history of the sport to beat the Falcons.
But they never get blown out, they never get embarrassed.
(05:22):
And it was a no doubt or against the Chargers.
And let's just be honest, they outplayed the Kansas City Chiefs,
even if the Chiefs did make them go to overtime
and come from behind, descended to overtime. I'm taking the
Patriots because until further notice, I haven't seen them play
a game that got away from him in the Super Bowl.
(05:42):
I don't think that they're great, but I do think
that you give them time off to get themselves rested,
to figure out the weakness, and they'll expose you, as
opposed to the Rams, who don't seem like a team
that had just all that well on the fly. All right,
let's get to the other story of the day. Yesterday,
we had a blockbuster trade in the NBA between the
(06:05):
Knicks and the Dallas Mavericks. Kristofs Prozingis is now a
Dallas Maverick. Right, It's almost like they took Nurknovitsky and
they said, do we have a two thousand nineteen version
of him? Yes, we do, so Luca and Kristoph Luca
don Check and kristophs prezngis on the same squad whenever
(06:26):
he returns from injury. And because the Knicks cleared out
all this cast space, there's this hope that the Knicks
can land Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in the off season,
who are both free agents in this free agency bonanza year. Now. Kyrie, remember,
at the start of the season, for no reason at all,
(06:48):
picked up the microphone said hey, y'all have me back.
I plan on resigning at the end of the season.
And that should be pointed out that at that very moment,
I did not say it's a done deal, because if
he listened to his words, he said, I plan on
and plans change, plan change, like that, none of this
stuff is written. It's not like you're Have you ever
(07:09):
seen somebody that gets branded like that's the only thing
that lasts forever, you know, like Q Dogs. It's a
Black Fraternity Q dogs get branded on their on their shoulders.
That's the even tattoos now you can get covered up
and can kind of get removed. Branding you can't get removed.
He's not branded his Celtic. He was like, look, as
of right, you know, if you have me, I plan
(07:31):
on resigning. But I do think this is curious. I've
been told by multiple sources that Kyrie Irving doesn't want
to rejoin Lebron James because it's not about playing with
Lebron James. It's the control that Lebron James has over
the entire operation. It's the drama that always follows the
(07:54):
Lebron James team. It's just it's it's a too much.
Lebron picks the coach. Lebron nix the players run is
the GM. He is in fact the coach, and that's
just a lot forget about playing with him. Playing with
him is great, you get to go to the NBA
Finals and Lebron doesn't actually want to take the last
second shot. It's the other stuff. Well, how about this
(08:15):
act from Kyrie Irving earlier today? He could have put
the rest any thoughts, any drama surrounding his tenure coming
to an end with the Celtics enjoying the Knicks because
the Celtics play the Knicks tonight. And here's what he said.
I mean, well, at the end of the day, I'm
gonna do it. I feel as best for my career,
and um, you know, that's just where it stands. And
(08:35):
my focus this season is winning the championship with the
Boston Celtics. Um. You know, obviously we had goals coming
into this season and primary goal is to win championship.
So that's where my focuses. As your mind shifted to
own regards to resigning with Boston, Mike Announcements asked me
July one, if my mind is shifted that that is,
(09:00):
that is not I said what I said, and I
stand by what I said. That's not any of that,
ask me, July one. That's a non answer answer if
I've ever heard a non answer answer. And what did
he do? He just created all of the drama that
(09:22):
he said he wanted to live without when from when
he played with Lebron James. He's doing exactly what he
said he wants to avoid, which, of course, is only
going to fire this thing up even more. Be sure
to catch live editions of The Doug Dot Leap Show
(09:42):
week days at noon eastern three pm Pacific on Fox
Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app Stuck Got
Leap Show here on Fox Sports Radio Live from Radio wrote,
what a great week we've had, and um, uh boy,
this is this is kind of amazing, right, amazing. Um
I'm interviewing him because that means I know him, which
means I'm now a head coaching candidate. Right there you go.
(10:04):
Plus a couple of years ago he was coaching in
the Big Game. He was the offensive coordinator for the
Atlanta Falcons. Now he's the head coach of the San
Francisco forty. Niners. Were joined by Kyle Shanahan. How are
you man, I'm doing good? Are you doing? Um good? Uh?
I'd love your perspective first on on your team because
you know, last year it was supposed to be a build.
(10:24):
You go out and make the deal for Jimmy g
and then he becomes Jimmy Jesus, and there's so much
hope and so much hype, and I think rightfully, so
you know, the whatever John Lynch, he wants to use
the word process, whatever he wants use like it was
and then and then he gets he gets hurt. Um,
how would you characterize this year? Um? Well, I think
going into this year, it still was part of it,
and it's always part of the process and you're always
(10:46):
are still trying to build. But when when you start
out oh and nine and you finished six and ten,
and the way Jimmy played in that time, it got
a lot of people excited. Um. You know, So as
a coaching staff, I mean, and you study everything, you
still definitely have everything in perspective it. You're aware of
what everyone else thinks going into it. And then to
lose a quarterback like that in the third game of
the year. You know, I've been coaching, I've been in
(11:07):
the league sixteen years, and I've never been on a
team that's lost a quarterback. You know. I've been on
teams I've lost it for one game, maybe two, but
never for an entire year. And it was different. It
was good experience, it was not it was uh we
experience I'll learned from, but it wasn't what I wish
on anybody. You never lost a quarterback. I'm just I know.
I guess r G three was was hurt played hurt? Right? No?
(11:27):
You got hurt the last game of the year, right, Yeah, So,
I mean I've never had guy, I mean for the
whole year. But then CJ was good, I mean like
CJ was. CJ did a good job. And then CJ
got hurt um for one game and Nick Mullins came
in and he had the best first game in the
history of football. So I told c J. Sorry, we
gotta let him keep going. You can't bench you after
(11:47):
the best start um in the history of football. And
he kept doing good. So Nick held onto the job
and finished it up. But we felt real good with
both of our backups and they helped us get through it. Oh,
by the way, I got a little c J insight
from George Kid. I heard he never curses. Like he
has a serious temper, serious competitiveness, but he never curses.
There's a bunch of gosh darnuts and callig's that's a
(12:08):
you might be right on that, because yeah, he is
as competitive anyone I've been around. Um, there's a report
of there's a report of a broken uh Xbox controller
because of a Fortnite or Rocket League game, But he
said there's no cursing. It's like kind of amazing as
competitive as he is. There's there's no no, no cursing. Um, Okay,
there's also obviously, uh, there's there's a player out there
(12:31):
who has openly opined to be a San Francisco forty
nine ers. I can't ask you the guy, and that
would be you know, that would be illegal, right for
you to respond to it. But what's that like? To
be coaching team and like to get the It's gotta
be amazing to have the amount of respect that you carry.
It's not just your assistant coaches and former guys being
hired away, but now you've got players from other teams.
(12:52):
I want to play for that guy? What's that like
for you? Um? I mean you're you're always flattered, and
when people talk that way, I don't I haven't been
keeping up on anything you're talking about so much. Sure
what you're talking about, but no, but it's it's always flattering,
and I don't always take it as just that. I'm
sure there's lots of reasons, but um, I've been in
this in the league for a while. UM, you go
(13:12):
through good times and bad times. I'm used to people
saying bad things about me. Sometimes they say good things
about me, So you try not to let it get
you too hot, too high, or too low. You just
enjoy what you do and try to be as good
as you can. Um, you and Sean obviously are always
gonna be tied at the hip one. You guys both
grew up around the league. You know his dad in
the league, Your your dad obviously coaching winning championships in
the league, but also the age by which you got
(13:35):
your coaching job, and now you're in the same division.
I guess my question becomes not like college football where
it can hurt you in recruiting if a team in
your league win a championship. So so do you do
you root? Do you root for Sean to win? On Sunday? Uh? No? UM,
I don't to be honest, but I support Sean. He's
a good friend of mine, and I don't have I
can't say I have a lot of good for friends
and coaching. I got a lot of coaching friends, but Sean.
(13:57):
I might spent four years with Sean. He was a
q C for me the first year and then uh
he was a tight end coach for me the next
three years. But UM, any coach watching the Super Bowl,
it's hard to root for anyone. Every coach is kind
of better watching the Super Bowl. So I'm trying to
figure out still how both teams come lose. If that happens,
it would be more fun for me to watch. But
now I support Sean and I'll be one of the
first people to call him if he does win. UM.
(14:19):
But by no means you're too competitive. You're not sitting
there cheering for anybody. True or false? Your dad Your
dad famous for the zone zone running scheme, right, zone
black and running scheme, and they always did well against
the Patriots like that. If there's one thing that Belichick
secretly could never figure out, it's how to attack that
with his defense. Is that a fair perspective to have? UM?
(14:40):
I don't know if it's exactly that, but I know that. UM.
I know the Broncos in their tenure, they're matched up
very good verse the Patriots. UM, I know they struggled
a ton matching up verse the Colts. Paid Manning was
their crypt kryptonite. My dad's tenure there stug got the
show here on Fox Sports Radio. Okay, so, inter terms
of your team's process, obviously getting Jimmy back, what how
(15:04):
close are you? How close are you too. I mean
because we all salivated because it wasn't just that you
guys won the game at the end of last year,
it was good teams. It was the Jaguars. You guys
did to the Jaguars when no one else could do.
There were other wins, the Rams one. You know, maybe
they were getting ready for the playoffs, but you know
you'd beat three playoff teams in that run. Um, how
close do you think you are? I do think we're close,
but but I also think almost every team in the
(15:26):
NFL's close, Like it's it's a very close league, and
just the balance of it, and um, you know it's
we're not there yet in terms of we're gonna win
a lot of games not playing good. You know, you
gotta go out there and play your best ball. And
I believe that we're getting to the point that every Sunday,
no matter who we play, we have a good chance
of winning. And if you play your best football, you
stay healthy, you get a few breaks, then you can
(15:49):
have a great record. What's what you want to try
to build and accumulate drafts, um, free agents. Um, you
try to build it to where what New England's had
over the years in a long time where you don't
always have to play your best football and you still
can win some games. And I don't think we're there yet,
but um, we're trying to get those guys experienced, still
trying to add some more blue chip type players, and
um we're close. What what impresses me about the Patriots
(16:13):
is that it's not just that they're evolving and changing,
but they're they're they're playing to to their strength instead
of saying, hey, here's our style and here's who we are.
Right like they become a power running team like old
school January football with with a huge How come more
people can't have a team, or maybe they don't. They
don't change based upon their personnel. There's seems, at least
(16:34):
again from the outside, like a lot of guys have
in their mindset what they're gonna do, and then they
find pieces to do that and that's all that they do. Well.
I think everyone, I think everyone, whether it's football or
any line of worker. I think everyone's a product of
their environment and whatever you're brought up in, it is
kind of what you know. Um. The more you can
go to different places and do stuff, the more you learn. Um,
when you try to put in a system. Are are
you Are you copying someone else's system and just running
(16:56):
a playbook. If that's the case, then you're not going
to change wauch or is it? Is there a foundation
of what you believe in and how do you adjust that?
And um, you can't sit there and change to your
personnel and stuff if you don't understand both sides of
the ball. Um, offensive coaches need to understand defense, and
defense coaches need to understand offense. And not everyone's like that,
but um, you know, I've um been fortunate enough to
(17:19):
have had to go to a number of different teams,
and I've been in situations where I've had to adjust.
You know, my first time as a coordinator, I was
twenty eight. I was in Houston and we had Matt
Shob and Andre Johnson and Owen Daniels and we we
had a really good team that people didn't totally know about.
In my first two years, you know, we were a
third and fourth in offense, and um, man, I thought
it was easy though. That was twenty eight and I
(17:41):
was like, Oh, there's no problems. And I go to
Washington and it's totally different quarterbacks, totally different deal I
tried to run the exact same stuff that we were
really good at him like, well, what the hell, why
aren't we as good? And I mean I had to change.
I was forced to because I wanted to be successful
and it wasn't working. And that's stuff that I want
to take back for anything. I've been forced to do
a number of different because I've had a lot of
different players, And um, once you do that and you
(18:03):
go through that, you realize you know what you believe in,
but you also know there's lots of ways to be successful.
And it gives you confidence as a coach that, hey,
you feel as long as they got a certain skill set, Um,
you can help give anybody a situation to work. Doug
Gotlieb show here on Fox Sports Radio, catching up with
Kyle Shanahan, the head coach of the San Francisco forty nine,
(18:23):
has been kind of have to spend some time of
this year on on radio row. Uh last thing, football wise?
Your dad one too? Which one do you have a
greater recollection of? Uh? Both? But the first one the
Green Bay one, and I was holding the chords. I
was a trivia question on the last guy to hold
a head coaches chords in the Super Bowl. Um, because
they went wireless and wireless the next year. So my
(18:45):
senior in high school, it was so cool because, um,
the a f C and A one in thirteen years. Um,
I had been to a bunch of Super Bowls on
AFC teams just as as a kid, where they had
gotten blown out. Um, so I just assumed they have
C couldn't win. And the Broncos were there who had
been blown out in three already. And UM, I remember
the morning of the Super Bowl, I was watching. It
(19:06):
was in my dad's room with my buddy. We were
watching A White Man Can't Jump, and um my dad
came in and guaranteed to both of those victory and
he's like, I guarantee you guys who went And it
shocked me so much, but it was so real. Um.
And then I remember every part of that. And just
remember it was the lightest offensive line in the league.
I think it was to eighty and then the average
way to the defensive line was the heaviest defensive line
(19:26):
in the league. The number one defense run defense versus
Number one run offense. Goliath the biggest and first, David
the smallest and all only one receiver caught one ball
on the entire Super Bowl. I think it was um Rod's.
I think it was Ed McCaffrey for like fifteen yards.
John had like h yards passed, and it was just
a run game and it was cool to watch how
it worked. Yeah, lowest quarterback rating for a winning quarterback
(19:47):
in the history of the Super Bowl to to date.
Ben Roethisberger actually top that kind of that's gotta be.
That had to be amazing to watch. I can't imagine
being a son holding your dad's chords. Um. Here was
Zebra Technologies. There's a lot of them. Amazing things that
are done on off the field in the Nation Football
League to track players and use it. What does Zebra
Technologies do. Zebra Technologies, First of all, they do a
(20:08):
lot of stuff which I didn't realize till this week. Um,
they've been around for fifty years. It's you know, it's
a They have technology that tracks all types of things.
They do all the bar codes and stores for retail,
they do all the barcodes for packaging and things like that. Um.
I learned that this week. What I know Zebra ass
we use it for to get a performance edge of
football and and the fact that we track all our players.
(20:30):
We know how fast they run in the off season.
We know what they do on a normal Wednesday, normal Thursday.
We know the workload of the last five years. Who
are receivers doing what they're expected to do versus defensive lineman.
For me, it's been huge because I'm always trying to
tinker practice and stuff with Hey, our guys seemed tired.
I gotta take some off of them in the next day,
or man, I gotta go harder on them because we've
gotta be ready for Sunday. A lot all that stuff
(20:51):
is just a gut feeling and a feel um trying
to figure it out. But what's best is all fifty
three guys are different. There's not one decision for the team.
It's different for each individual. And when you track everything
they do every day, Um, you know when a guy
is different on this Wednesday than he's been the previous fifteen.
His speed could be down, why is that? And then
you asked the guy you talked to him. They might
have a tight hamstring, they might be dehydrated, whatever it is,
(21:14):
and that allows us to change his workload on Thursday.
Because the whole goal is be as fast as you
can on Sunday. And if you make guys run their
fastest throughout the week, you won't always be you'll be
slower on Sunday. But but if you can ignore it
all week, then they're gonna get hurt on Sunday. So
you got to balance that out. And it's just nice
to have actually some numbers with it to help so
it's not always just an educated guest. Who's the buddy
(21:35):
he watched White Man Can't Jump with Zack Zucker high
school friend was cool because he was just sitting there, um,
because he didn't have any super Bowl ticket. He just
went down there. He was hanging out with me and um,
he couldn't get a super Bowl ticket, and it was cool.
My dad was uniquely relaxed, and he gave him dollars
and he goes, hey, go see if you go find
one in the lobby. I know they're going for more,
but if you can get one, and my buddy ended
(21:56):
up getting one, Um, and so I gotta go to
the super Bowl. So it's cool stuff. Best of luck
this year. I know you've got a huge offseason with
lots of editions, maybe some subtractions, and of course the draft.
Really appreciate you join us, Appreciate it, man enjoyed it.
Be sure to catch live editions of the Doug gott
Leaps Show week days at noon eastern three pm Pacific
Doug got Lip Show, Fox Sports Radio and UM. Our
(22:18):
next guest has done it all, and honestly, I'm I'm
intrigued to hear his thoughts on the future, his reaction
to this year, and of course maybe some thoughts on
how town Brady continues to get it done. He's Jameis Winston,
quarterback Tampay Buccaneers, and like, look, there was a time
this year when Fitz was playing great and there was
some thought, maybe he doesn't get his job back. What's
(22:39):
what was that like for you to go through? Emotionally,
I think I would I would rather much wanted to
be in the locker room when my teammates to experience
that winning culture that we had at the beginning of year.
It's not about one one particular quarterback having uh tons
of success. It's about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were winning football.
If we were playing winning football and we were dominating
our opponents, and I hate that I missed that, but
(23:00):
but but like look like it wasn't It wasn't easy.
Now at the end of the year, obviously, it became
your team again, and so much so that even when
a coaching change was made, it feels like the coaching
change was made with you specifically in mind. That's a lot.
That's a lot to go through in in one season, right, Like,
I get the job back, I don't have the job.
I earned the job. Coaches getting fired, but they're gonna
(23:22):
hire Bruce Arians who is a quarterback guru. Like, that's
a lot, dude, It's a blessing to me. I mean,
I feel like I've earned every right, you know. I
feel like I've played well enough. I just we just
haven't winning football games. That's the only thing about me
right now. We gotta win. And once we start winning
and we'll get this ship. How you were seen as
a culture changer when you came out of college, right,
(23:43):
you were seen as a guy who was like, look,
he just finds a way, like finds a way to win.
There was that video of you going back to the
Florida State locker room first game this season after you
left Florida State. You're talking about that we need to
play selling like some dogs, not some puppies. Right, but
but it hasn't been able. Why has it been difficult
to translate as a guy who's always one? Why has
been so difficult in the approach? Now? I don't know,
(24:05):
and I can't. I can't speak on the past. I
could talk about right now. Is is the actions, you know,
and we have to take some action, some strides to winning.
I'm not a loser. Uh well, I don't think we're
losing organization. I believe we can do it. I believe
we definitely have a talent, but that Jason Light put
it in store for us. Now, I believe we have
an excellent head coach who's been there, done that. His
resume speaks for herself, and we're gonna change things around.
(24:27):
Right to be a comes in. He's got the he's
got the can go on. You have you got in
your own can go as he sent you like a
can go. But like Jamie, if this is the magic,
the magic can go. I'm not a big KNGO guy,
not a big cano guy. Um, but what is he
what is he said in terms of what he wants
to do? What's he talked to you about? I mean,
he's just decited. He's decided just like me. You know,
we haven't talked much football yet, but he's decided that
(24:48):
we have a great team. Uh, we have a great
organization that's behind him and not just trying to do it.
It's not it's not time to look at this as
a rebuilding years not times. Uh, we got the quarterback
whisper and you know, a talented quarterback. It's time to
win football games and that's what he came into doing.
That's what we're gonna do. But he is a quarterback whisper, right,
Like he's worked with like you go through like damn
you work with Andrew Luck was balling and Ben Rotherford
(25:10):
and balling, and Carson Palmer start balling with him. Like
that's got to make you feel like I cannot get
wait to get back to work, And no, I can't.
I can't wait. Man. I'm so excited and elated to
be with him, especially the type of technical things that
he can teach me. Uh that he's been experienced his
in doing his tenure as a as a coach so far. Um,
are do we watch Sunday? Are you a guy that
(25:32):
watches the Super Bowl? I'm gonna watch super Bowl. Can
you believe that Tom Brady has been doing this? He's
nineteen years nine super bowls like that is nuts. You.
No one knows better how hard it is to just
get to the playoffs than you forget about the playoffs.
Nine super bowls. How's he doing it? I mean, he'd go, man,
he'd go. He's a part of a great organization. Uh,
their family out there in New England, and that's something
(25:54):
that every team should be trying to build with their organization.
But but to be doing it at forty one years
old and still finding the finding a way like that,
to me just it's it's insane. And I wonder how
he's kept his body together. I mean the mind obviously
is working ten steps ahead because he's seen every defense,
every coverage. He knows where the ball is gonna go.
But to have the body still cooperate, sunsaid, just sounds
(26:18):
crazy to me. Well, it's good when you have a
good office line that they helps you got running game
in the good office line. But I mean I just think,
you know, he does so many things, uh for all
young quarterbacks to pick up on, like his diet, his
his workout program and uh, you know the way, the
way that he has people around him to help him
make be an overall better player. If Jamis now could
(26:40):
go back and tell Jamie something when you first entered
the league that would would would have helped you along
the way. What would be? It would just Jamie, stay yourself. Uh,
don't let no coach, don't let no teammates de tour
you from being who you truly are. And that's been
a great human being, a great leader. And uh in
the baller um you here, I have your foundation. You
(27:01):
do a lot of a lot of good works off
the football field. What's the focus right now of your foundation?
What I mission is to provide resources, opportunity and encouragement
to underprivage kids through technology. Uh. We we were going
to schools, high property schools and we build these things
called dream Room, which allows kids to access twenty five
I pads, three D prents, robotics, learn how to code.
(27:24):
We have a big old white table, a big old uh.
The table that's a white board. Allowed them to you know,
do different type of games whereas multiplications, whether it's write
down different codes to a robotic that they may have
on the table. Basically trying to expand the use of
the internet uh in these elementary schools, and any of
you kids don't have to have don't only have that.
(27:44):
I mean the thing is like, even though this is
an internet driven world, this word has gotten so digital
and kids can't go home and do online assignments. So
now we're having his dream room, kids will have the
opportunity before school or after school and also during school
uh to go there and uh. And I think the
biggest thing is the people that work in the dream rooms. Uh.
The school that we work with, Alexander Elementary. I just
(28:05):
visit their last Friday. Uh. Miss Cross is doing an
incredible job. And I think just to shout out to
the teachers out there who apply themselves every day to
be there for those kids. Because anybody can build rooms,
and anybody can give charitable donations, but the time that
we spend with these kids will really inspire them. And
I think, Uh, that's why I enjoy my foundation, because
(28:25):
I'm able to spend time with these kids and uh
and and to basically put them on to new things
which would allow them to have brighter futures and like
the like the room it is dream big. Yeah, but
how do you keep my Fortnite. That's the big question, right,
Like you get in there, they start getting there just
like you're supposed to be coding. Like now that's the
beautiful and I'm playing Fortnite. That's the beautiful thing about
the internet. Baby, you got so many different patterns where
(28:46):
you're gonna block the kids from doing different things. So
if you're not doing things on your path for educational purposes,
you know, uh, well you're not gonna be on there.
Um Uh, D Jax is incredible because I don't know
how he's hill this fast, Like everybody talking about Tyreek Hill, right,
Tayreckill is probably path passed his student league. Um, how
is D Jack's not not lost the step man? I
(29:09):
don't know, Unsley. Um, D Jack is as an incredible talent,
you know, I feel like he just was born uh
to do what he does. You know. That's why hopefully
one day I can help him get a gold jacket
one day. If if if somebody has been a Jameis
Winston fan, uh since in college, since you won the
national championship and they followed you and they said Jamis,
give me a reason to believe to buy in to
(29:29):
Jamis Winston. Whether this is two point out or three
point oh this upcoming season with you the Bucks and
coach Areans, what would it be? I would be to
Jameis Winson is just getting swagged back. Uh, mainly because
it's a it's a fresh start, have a course of
staff that believes in me. Uh. You know, I have
great weapons around me. And it's not about talking anymore.
Is all about action. And if you know, Jameis Winston
(29:50):
from whatever whenever you can watching me from little League
to even now, I'm about that action and it's gonna
be fun. Jamis Winson Dream Forever Foundation, and of course
they have this great dream room Jamis who is she?

to give you something on the Super Bowl, and then
I want to get to a story of the day. Okay,
here's something on the Super Bowl. I know they've been
(01:04):
here nine times and I know they have lost before, right,
but remember the two losses that they have. We're both
to the New York giants, and there are there's part
of the kind of the giants that we see here
with the with the Rams, right, a great pass rush
in which you don't have to send any help. You
(01:26):
don't have to send five or six or Casino blitz
Tom Brady, you got four dudes that can just get
after you. The l A. Rams spent and spent wisely
on the places that it counts up front in the trenches,
on both sides of the football. And they spent on
(01:46):
in Dominican Sue who, for my money, should have won
the Heisman Trophies his last year in Nebraska because he
was the best college football player in America by a mile.
And then of course they have Aaron Donald, who they
gave the biggest contract we've ever seen to a player
at his position. They spent and spent wisely. But here's
(02:09):
why I'm telling you now that I'm taking the Patriots.
I don't think they have better individual players. I don't
think Tom Brady is nearly the quarterback he used to be.
It's not just about Belichick and his coaching in their
game plan. It's not just about the fact they've been
here before, or the fact that, uh, the L A.
(02:30):
Rams don't have a lot of depth in their defensive line.
And you give Belichick, Brady and Josh McDaniels a week
to figure it out, and they say, well, not only
just you know, run, hurry up, tire them out, get
to their legs so that they're winded in the fourth quarter.
Remember last year's Philadelphia Eagle team had a great defensive
(02:53):
line and the Patriots did not punt, not once. It's this,
I grew up in an era of blowouts in the
Super Bowl. John Elway's as good a quarterback as I've
ever seen play the position. He's amazing. And truth be told,
(03:14):
Elway and the Broncos shouldn't have been in the Super
Bowl again because they should have lost to the Cleveland Browns.
Browns hadn't beat two years in a row. I do
you remember, right? There was the drive and then there
was the Ernest Biner fumble? Do you remember those? And
what happens when a team gets somewhere that they shouldn't be,
(03:36):
They get exposed. That's what generally happens. You factor in
that the Rams probably shouldn't be here. I'm not saying
that that the Saints, you know, didn't screw it. Up
in their own right. But the Rams shouldn't be here.
I think all of us agree. The Rams have not
been nearly as good as their talent would tell you
(03:56):
they should be through the second half of the season.
You do factor in that they haven't been here before.
You factor in that you give Belichick a chance to
spot and and expose the weakness you do have Jared Goff,
who at times looks just okay back there, Todd Gurley
doesn't seem to be right. But here's the one I
(04:16):
can't get away from. I grew up when Super Bowls
were blowouts, and the Patriots are part of the generation
that's changed that. Because even when they've been beaten twice
by the Giants both of those, they're one play away
from winning. Wes Welker hauls down a pass that falls
off his fingertips on third down from Tom Brady. Remember
(04:39):
remember Tom Brady's wife, Giselle, afterwards, my husband cannot throw
and catch the ball afterwards? That do both You remember that?
Or David Tyree and their first Super Bowl loss when
he had to have stick them superglue and any other
sort of substance to catch the football against his helmet.
When Eli Manning should have been in the grasp in
(05:01):
the backfield, and the refs decided to not blow it dead.
You remember that this is how good they are. Sure
they needed to read a play and Malcolm Butler make
the play of his career. Sure they needed the greatest
comeback in the history of the sport to beat the Falcons.
But they never get blown out, they never get embarrassed.
(05:22):
And it was a no doubt or against the Chargers.
And let's just be honest, they outplayed the Kansas City Chiefs,
even if the Chiefs did make them go to overtime
and come from behind, descended to overtime. I'm taking the
Patriots because until further notice, I haven't seen them play
a game that got away from him in the Super Bowl.
(05:42):
I don't think that they're great, but I do think
that you give them time off to get themselves rested,
to figure out the weakness, and they'll expose you, as
opposed to the Rams, who don't seem like a team
that had just all that well on the fly. All right,
let's get to the other story of the day. Yesterday,
we had a blockbuster trade in the NBA between the
(06:05):
Knicks and the Dallas Mavericks. Kristofs Prozingis is now a
Dallas Maverick. Right, It's almost like they took Nurknovitsky and
they said, do we have a two thousand nineteen version
of him? Yes, we do, so Luca and Kristoph Luca
don Check and kristophs prezngis on the same squad whenever
(06:26):
he returns from injury. And because the Knicks cleared out
all this cast space, there's this hope that the Knicks
can land Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in the off season,
who are both free agents in this free agency bonanza year. Now. Kyrie, remember,
at the start of the season, for no reason at all,
(06:48):
picked up the microphone said hey, y'all have me back.
I plan on resigning at the end of the season.
And that should be pointed out that at that very moment,
I did not say it's a done deal, because if
he listened to his words, he said, I plan on
and plans change, plan change, like that, none of this
stuff is written. It's not like you're Have you ever
(07:09):
seen somebody that gets branded like that's the only thing
that lasts forever, you know, like Q Dogs. It's a
Black Fraternity Q dogs get branded on their on their shoulders.
That's the even tattoos now you can get covered up
and can kind of get removed. Branding you can't get removed.
He's not branded his Celtic. He was like, look, as
of right, you know, if you have me, I plan
(07:31):
on resigning. But I do think this is curious. I've
been told by multiple sources that Kyrie Irving doesn't want
to rejoin Lebron James because it's not about playing with
Lebron James. It's the control that Lebron James has over
the entire operation. It's the drama that always follows the
(07:54):
Lebron James team. It's just it's it's a too much.
Lebron picks the coach. Lebron nix the players run is
the GM. He is in fact the coach, and that's
just a lot forget about playing with him. Playing with
him is great, you get to go to the NBA
Finals and Lebron doesn't actually want to take the last
second shot. It's the other stuff. Well, how about this
(08:15):
act from Kyrie Irving earlier today? He could have put
the rest any thoughts, any drama surrounding his tenure coming
to an end with the Celtics enjoying the Knicks because
the Celtics play the Knicks tonight. And here's what he said.
I mean, well, at the end of the day, I'm
gonna do it. I feel as best for my career,
and um, you know, that's just where it stands. And
(08:35):
my focus this season is winning the championship with the
Boston Celtics. Um. You know, obviously we had goals coming
into this season and primary goal is to win championship.
So that's where my focuses. As your mind shifted to
own regards to resigning with Boston, Mike Announcements asked me
July one, if my mind is shifted that that is,
(09:00):
that is not I said what I said, and I
stand by what I said. That's not any of that,
ask me, July one. That's a non answer answer if
I've ever heard a non answer answer. And what did
he do? He just created all of the drama that
(09:22):
he said he wanted to live without when from when
he played with Lebron James. He's doing exactly what he
said he wants to avoid, which, of course, is only
going to fire this thing up even more. Be sure
to catch live editions of The Doug Dot Leap Show
(09:42):
week days at noon eastern three pm Pacific on Fox
Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app Stuck Got
Leap Show here on Fox Sports Radio Live from Radio wrote,
what a great week we've had, and um, uh boy,
this is this is kind of amazing, right, amazing. Um
I'm interviewing him because that means I know him, which
means I'm now a head coaching candidate. Right there you go.
(10:04):
Plus a couple of years ago he was coaching in
the Big Game. He was the offensive coordinator for the
Atlanta Falcons. Now he's the head coach of the San
Francisco forty. Niners. Were joined by Kyle Shanahan. How are
you man, I'm doing good? Are you doing? Um good? Uh?
I'd love your perspective first on on your team because
you know, last year it was supposed to be a build.
(10:24):
You go out and make the deal for Jimmy g
and then he becomes Jimmy Jesus, and there's so much
hope and so much hype, and I think rightfully, so
you know, the whatever John Lynch, he wants to use
the word process, whatever he wants use like it was
and then and then he gets he gets hurt. Um,
how would you characterize this year? Um? Well, I think
going into this year, it still was part of it,
and it's always part of the process and you're always
(10:46):
are still trying to build. But when when you start
out oh and nine and you finished six and ten,
and the way Jimmy played in that time, it got
a lot of people excited. Um. You know, So as
a coaching staff, I mean, and you study everything, you
still definitely have everything in perspective it. You're aware of
what everyone else thinks going into it. And then to
lose a quarterback like that in the third game of
the year. You know, I've been coaching, I've been in
(11:07):
the league sixteen years, and I've never been on a
team that's lost a quarterback. You know. I've been on
teams I've lost it for one game, maybe two, but
never for an entire year. And it was different. It
was good experience, it was not it was uh we
experience I'll learned from, but it wasn't what I wish
on anybody. You never lost a quarterback. I'm just I know.
I guess r G three was was hurt played hurt? Right? No?
(11:27):
You got hurt the last game of the year, right, Yeah, So,
I mean I've never had guy, I mean for the
whole year. But then CJ was good, I mean like
CJ was. CJ did a good job. And then CJ
got hurt um for one game and Nick Mullins came
in and he had the best first game in the
history of football. So I told c J. Sorry, we
gotta let him keep going. You can't bench you after
(11:47):
the best start um in the history of football. And
he kept doing good. So Nick held onto the job
and finished it up. But we felt real good with
both of our backups and they helped us get through it. Oh,
by the way, I got a little c J insight
from George Kid. I heard he never curses. Like he
has a serious temper, serious competitiveness, but he never curses.
There's a bunch of gosh darnuts and callig's that's a
(12:08):
you might be right on that, because yeah, he is
as competitive anyone I've been around. Um, there's a report
of there's a report of a broken uh Xbox controller
because of a Fortnite or Rocket League game, But he
said there's no cursing. It's like kind of amazing as
competitive as he is. There's there's no no, no cursing. Um, Okay,
there's also obviously, uh, there's there's a player out there
(12:31):
who has openly opined to be a San Francisco forty
nine ers. I can't ask you the guy, and that
would be you know, that would be illegal, right for
you to respond to it. But what's that like? To
be coaching team and like to get the It's gotta
be amazing to have the amount of respect that you carry.
It's not just your assistant coaches and former guys being
hired away, but now you've got players from other teams.
(12:52):
I want to play for that guy? What's that like
for you? Um? I mean you're you're always flattered, and
when people talk that way, I don't I haven't been
keeping up on anything you're talking about so much. Sure
what you're talking about, but no, but it's it's always flattering,
and I don't always take it as just that. I'm
sure there's lots of reasons, but um, I've been in
this in the league for a while. UM, you go
(13:12):
through good times and bad times. I'm used to people
saying bad things about me. Sometimes they say good things
about me, So you try not to let it get
you too hot, too high, or too low. You just
enjoy what you do and try to be as good
as you can. Um, you and Sean obviously are always
gonna be tied at the hip one. You guys both
grew up around the league. You know his dad in
the league, Your your dad obviously coaching winning championships in
the league, but also the age by which you got
(13:35):
your coaching job, and now you're in the same division.
I guess my question becomes not like college football where
it can hurt you in recruiting if a team in
your league win a championship. So so do you do
you root? Do you root for Sean to win? On Sunday? Uh? No? UM,
I don't to be honest, but I support Sean. He's
a good friend of mine, and I don't have I
can't say I have a lot of good for friends
and coaching. I got a lot of coaching friends, but Sean.
(13:57):
I might spent four years with Sean. He was a
q C for me the first year and then uh
he was a tight end coach for me the next
three years. But UM, any coach watching the Super Bowl,
it's hard to root for anyone. Every coach is kind
of better watching the Super Bowl. So I'm trying to
figure out still how both teams come lose. If that happens,
it would be more fun for me to watch. But
now I support Sean and I'll be one of the
first people to call him if he does win. UM.
(14:19):
But by no means you're too competitive. You're not sitting
there cheering for anybody. True or false? Your dad Your
dad famous for the zone zone running scheme, right, zone
black and running scheme, and they always did well against
the Patriots like that. If there's one thing that Belichick
secretly could never figure out, it's how to attack that
with his defense. Is that a fair perspective to have? UM?
(14:40):
I don't know if it's exactly that, but I know that. UM.
I know the Broncos in their tenure, they're matched up
very good verse the Patriots. UM, I know they struggled
a ton matching up verse the Colts. Paid Manning was
their crypt kryptonite. My dad's tenure there stug got the
show here on Fox Sports Radio. Okay, so, inter terms
of your team's process, obviously getting Jimmy back, what how
(15:04):
close are you? How close are you too. I mean
because we all salivated because it wasn't just that you
guys won the game at the end of last year,
it was good teams. It was the Jaguars. You guys
did to the Jaguars when no one else could do.
There were other wins, the Rams one. You know, maybe
they were getting ready for the playoffs, but you know
you'd beat three playoff teams in that run. Um, how
close do you think you are? I do think we're close,
but but I also think almost every team in the
(15:26):
NFL's close, Like it's it's a very close league, and
just the balance of it, and um, you know it's
we're not there yet in terms of we're gonna win
a lot of games not playing good. You know, you
gotta go out there and play your best ball. And
I believe that we're getting to the point that every Sunday,
no matter who we play, we have a good chance
of winning. And if you play your best football, you
stay healthy, you get a few breaks, then you can
(15:49):
have a great record. What's what you want to try
to build and accumulate drafts, um, free agents. Um, you
try to build it to where what New England's had
over the years in a long time where you don't
always have to play your best football and you still
can win some games. And I don't think we're there yet,
but um, we're trying to get those guys experienced, still
trying to add some more blue chip type players, and
um we're close. What what impresses me about the Patriots
(16:13):
is that it's not just that they're evolving and changing,
but they're they're they're playing to to their strength instead
of saying, hey, here's our style and here's who we are.
Right like they become a power running team like old
school January football with with a huge How come more
people can't have a team, or maybe they don't. They
don't change based upon their personnel. There's seems, at least
(16:34):
again from the outside, like a lot of guys have
in their mindset what they're gonna do, and then they
find pieces to do that and that's all that they do. Well.
I think everyone, I think everyone, whether it's football or
any line of worker. I think everyone's a product of
their environment and whatever you're brought up in, it is
kind of what you know. Um. The more you can
go to different places and do stuff, the more you learn. Um,
when you try to put in a system. Are are
you Are you copying someone else's system and just running
(16:56):
a playbook. If that's the case, then you're not going
to change wauch or is it? Is there a foundation
of what you believe in and how do you adjust that?
And um, you can't sit there and change to your
personnel and stuff if you don't understand both sides of
the ball. Um, offensive coaches need to understand defense, and
defense coaches need to understand offense. And not everyone's like that,
but um, you know, I've um been fortunate enough to
(17:19):
have had to go to a number of different teams,
and I've been in situations where I've had to adjust.
You know, my first time as a coordinator, I was
twenty eight. I was in Houston and we had Matt
Shob and Andre Johnson and Owen Daniels and we we
had a really good team that people didn't totally know about.
In my first two years, you know, we were a
third and fourth in offense, and um, man, I thought
it was easy though. That was twenty eight and I
(17:41):
was like, Oh, there's no problems. And I go to
Washington and it's totally different quarterbacks, totally different deal I
tried to run the exact same stuff that we were
really good at him like, well, what the hell, why
aren't we as good? And I mean I had to change.
I was forced to because I wanted to be successful
and it wasn't working. And that's stuff that I want
to take back for anything. I've been forced to do
a number of different because I've had a lot of
different players, And um, once you do that and you
(18:03):
go through that, you realize you know what you believe in,
but you also know there's lots of ways to be successful.
And it gives you confidence as a coach that, hey,
you feel as long as they got a certain skill set, Um,
you can help give anybody a situation to work. Doug
Gotlieb show here on Fox Sports Radio, catching up with
Kyle Shanahan, the head coach of the San Francisco forty nine,
(18:23):
has been kind of have to spend some time of
this year on on radio row. Uh last thing, football wise?
Your dad one too? Which one do you have a
greater recollection of? Uh? Both? But the first one the
Green Bay one, and I was holding the chords. I
was a trivia question on the last guy to hold
a head coaches chords in the Super Bowl. Um, because
they went wireless and wireless the next year. So my
(18:45):
senior in high school, it was so cool because, um,
the a f C and A one in thirteen years. Um,
I had been to a bunch of Super Bowls on
AFC teams just as as a kid, where they had
gotten blown out. Um, so I just assumed they have
C couldn't win. And the Broncos were there who had
been blown out in three already. And UM, I remember
the morning of the Super Bowl, I was watching. It
(19:06):
was in my dad's room with my buddy. We were
watching A White Man Can't Jump, and um my dad
came in and guaranteed to both of those victory and
he's like, I guarantee you guys who went And it
shocked me so much, but it was so real. Um.
And then I remember every part of that. And just
remember it was the lightest offensive line in the league.
I think it was to eighty and then the average
way to the defensive line was the heaviest defensive line
(19:26):
in the league. The number one defense run defense versus
Number one run offense. Goliath the biggest and first, David
the smallest and all only one receiver caught one ball
on the entire Super Bowl. I think it was um Rod's.
I think it was Ed McCaffrey for like fifteen yards.
John had like h yards passed, and it was just
a run game and it was cool to watch how
it worked. Yeah, lowest quarterback rating for a winning quarterback
(19:47):
in the history of the Super Bowl to to date.
Ben Roethisberger actually top that kind of that's gotta be.
That had to be amazing to watch. I can't imagine
being a son holding your dad's chords. Um. Here was
Zebra Technologies. There's a lot of them. Amazing things that
are done on off the field in the Nation Football
League to track players and use it. What does Zebra
Technologies do. Zebra Technologies, First of all, they do a
(20:08):
lot of stuff which I didn't realize till this week. Um,
they've been around for fifty years. It's you know, it's
a They have technology that tracks all types of things.
They do all the bar codes and stores for retail,
they do all the barcodes for packaging and things like that. Um.
I learned that this week. What I know Zebra ass
we use it for to get a performance edge of
football and and the fact that we track all our players.
(20:30):
We know how fast they run in the off season.
We know what they do on a normal Wednesday, normal Thursday.
We know the workload of the last five years. Who
are receivers doing what they're expected to do versus defensive lineman.
For me, it's been huge because I'm always trying to
tinker practice and stuff with Hey, our guys seemed tired.
I gotta take some off of them in the next day,
or man, I gotta go harder on them because we've
gotta be ready for Sunday. A lot all that stuff
(20:51):
is just a gut feeling and a feel um trying
to figure it out. But what's best is all fifty
three guys are different. There's not one decision for the team.
It's different for each individual. And when you track everything
they do every day, Um, you know when a guy
is different on this Wednesday than he's been the previous fifteen.
His speed could be down, why is that? And then
you asked the guy you talked to him. They might
have a tight hamstring, they might be dehydrated, whatever it is,
(21:14):
and that allows us to change his workload on Thursday.
Because the whole goal is be as fast as you
can on Sunday. And if you make guys run their
fastest throughout the week, you won't always be you'll be
slower on Sunday. But but if you can ignore it
all week, then they're gonna get hurt on Sunday. So
you got to balance that out. And it's just nice
to have actually some numbers with it to help so
it's not always just an educated guest. Who's the buddy
(21:35):
he watched White Man Can't Jump with Zack Zucker high
school friend was cool because he was just sitting there, um,
because he didn't have any super Bowl ticket. He just
went down there. He was hanging out with me and um,
he couldn't get a super Bowl ticket, and it was cool.
My dad was uniquely relaxed, and he gave him dollars
and he goes, hey, go see if you go find
one in the lobby. I know they're going for more,
but if you can get one, and my buddy ended
(21:56):
up getting one, Um, and so I gotta go to
the super Bowl. So it's cool stuff. Best of luck
this year. I know you've got a huge offseason with
lots of editions, maybe some subtractions, and of course the draft.
Really appreciate you join us, Appreciate it, man enjoyed it.
Be sure to catch live editions of the Doug gott
Leaps Show week days at noon eastern three pm Pacific
Doug got Lip Show, Fox Sports Radio and UM. Our
(22:18):
next guest has done it all, and honestly, I'm I'm
intrigued to hear his thoughts on the future, his reaction
to this year, and of course maybe some thoughts on
how town Brady continues to get it done. He's Jameis Winston,
quarterback Tampay Buccaneers, and like, look, there was a time
this year when Fitz was playing great and there was
some thought, maybe he doesn't get his job back. What's
(22:39):
what was that like for you to go through? Emotionally,
I think I would I would rather much wanted to
be in the locker room when my teammates to experience
that winning culture that we had at the beginning of year.
It's not about one one particular quarterback having uh tons
of success. It's about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were winning football.
If we were playing winning football and we were dominating
our opponents, and I hate that I missed that, but
(23:00):
but but like look like it wasn't It wasn't easy.
Now at the end of the year, obviously, it became
your team again, and so much so that even when
a coaching change was made, it feels like the coaching
change was made with you specifically in mind. That's a lot.
That's a lot to go through in in one season, right, Like,
I get the job back, I don't have the job.
I earned the job. Coaches getting fired, but they're gonna
(23:22):
hire Bruce Arians who is a quarterback guru. Like, that's
a lot, dude, It's a blessing to me. I mean,
I feel like I've earned every right, you know. I
feel like I've played well enough. I just we just
haven't winning football games. That's the only thing about me
right now. We gotta win. And once we start winning
and we'll get this ship. How you were seen as
a culture changer when you came out of college, right,
(23:43):
you were seen as a guy who was like, look,
he just finds a way, like finds a way to win.
There was that video of you going back to the
Florida State locker room first game this season after you
left Florida State. You're talking about that we need to
play selling like some dogs, not some puppies. Right, but
but it hasn't been able. Why has it been difficult
to translate as a guy who's always one? Why has
been so difficult in the approach? Now? I don't know,
(24:05):
and I can't. I can't speak on the past. I
could talk about right now. Is is the actions, you know,
and we have to take some action, some strides to winning.
I'm not a loser. Uh well, I don't think we're
losing organization. I believe we can do it. I believe
we definitely have a talent, but that Jason Light put
it in store for us. Now, I believe we have
an excellent head coach who's been there, done that. His
resume speaks for herself, and we're gonna change things around.
(24:27):
Right to be a comes in. He's got the he's
got the can go on. You have you got in
your own can go as he sent you like a
can go. But like Jamie, if this is the magic,
the magic can go. I'm not a big KNGO guy,
not a big cano guy. Um, but what is he
what is he said in terms of what he wants
to do? What's he talked to you about? I mean,
he's just decited. He's decided just like me. You know,
we haven't talked much football yet, but he's decided that
(24:48):
we have a great team. Uh, we have a great
organization that's behind him and not just trying to do it.
It's not it's not time to look at this as
a rebuilding years not times. Uh, we got the quarterback
whisper and you know, a talented quarterback. It's time to
win football games and that's what he came into doing.
That's what we're gonna do. But he is a quarterback whisper, right,
Like he's worked with like you go through like damn
you work with Andrew Luck was balling and Ben Rotherford
(25:10):
and balling, and Carson Palmer start balling with him. Like
that's got to make you feel like I cannot get
wait to get back to work, And no, I can't.
I can't wait. Man. I'm so excited and elated to
be with him, especially the type of technical things that
he can teach me. Uh that he's been experienced his
in doing his tenure as a as a coach so far. Um,
are do we watch Sunday? Are you a guy that
(25:32):
watches the Super Bowl? I'm gonna watch super Bowl. Can
you believe that Tom Brady has been doing this? He's
nineteen years nine super bowls like that is nuts. You.
No one knows better how hard it is to just
get to the playoffs than you forget about the playoffs.
Nine super bowls. How's he doing it? I mean, he'd go, man,
he'd go. He's a part of a great organization. Uh,
their family out there in New England, and that's something
(25:54):
that every team should be trying to build with their organization.
But but to be doing it at forty one years
old and still finding the finding a way like that,
to me just it's it's insane. And I wonder how
he's kept his body together. I mean the mind obviously
is working ten steps ahead because he's seen every defense,
every coverage. He knows where the ball is gonna go.
But to have the body still cooperate, sunsaid, just sounds
(26:18):
crazy to me. Well, it's good when you have a
good office line that they helps you got running game
in the good office line. But I mean I just think,
you know, he does so many things, uh for all
young quarterbacks to pick up on, like his diet, his
his workout program and uh, you know the way, the
way that he has people around him to help him
make be an overall better player. If Jamis now could
(26:40):
go back and tell Jamie something when you first entered
the league that would would would have helped you along
the way. What would be? It would just Jamie, stay yourself. Uh,
don't let no coach, don't let no teammates de tour
you from being who you truly are. And that's been
a great human being, a great leader. And uh in
the baller um you here, I have your foundation. You
(27:01):
do a lot of a lot of good works off
the football field. What's the focus right now of your foundation?
What I mission is to provide resources, opportunity and encouragement
to underprivage kids through technology. Uh. We we were going
to schools, high property schools and we build these things
called dream Room, which allows kids to access twenty five
I pads, three D prents, robotics, learn how to code.
(27:24):
We have a big old white table, a big old uh.
The table that's a white board. Allowed them to you know,
do different type of games whereas multiplications, whether it's write
down different codes to a robotic that they may have
on the table. Basically trying to expand the use of
the internet uh in these elementary schools, and any of
you kids don't have to have don't only have that.
(27:44):
I mean the thing is like, even though this is
an internet driven world, this word has gotten so digital
and kids can't go home and do online assignments. So
now we're having his dream room, kids will have the
opportunity before school or after school and also during school
uh to go there and uh. And I think the
biggest thing is the people that work in the dream rooms. Uh.
The school that we work with, Alexander Elementary. I just
(28:05):
visit their last Friday. Uh. Miss Cross is doing an
incredible job. And I think just to shout out to
the teachers out there who apply themselves every day to
be there for those kids. Because anybody can build rooms,
and anybody can give charitable donations, but the time that
we spend with these kids will really inspire them. And
I think, Uh, that's why I enjoy my foundation, because
(28:25):
I'm able to spend time with these kids and uh
and and to basically put them on to new things
which would allow them to have brighter futures and like
the like the room it is dream big. Yeah, but
how do you keep my Fortnite. That's the big question, right,
Like you get in there, they start getting there just
like you're supposed to be coding. Like now that's the
beautiful and I'm playing Fortnite. That's the beautiful thing about
the internet. Baby, you got so many different patterns where
(28:46):
you're gonna block the kids from doing different things. So
if you're not doing things on your path for educational purposes,
you know, uh, well you're not gonna be on there.
Um Uh, D Jax is incredible because I don't know
how he's hill this fast, Like everybody talking about Tyreek Hill, right,
Tayreckill is probably path passed his student league. Um, how
is D Jack's not not lost the step man? I
(29:09):
don't know, Unsley. Um, D Jack is as an incredible talent,
you know, I feel like he just was born uh
to do what he does. You know. That's why hopefully
one day I can help him get a gold jacket
one day. If if if somebody has been a Jameis
Winston fan, uh since in college, since you won the
national championship and they followed you and they said Jamis,
give me a reason to believe to buy in to
(29:29):
Jamis Winston. Whether this is two point out or three
point oh this upcoming season with you the Bucks and
coach Areans, what would it be? I would be to
Jameis Winson is just getting swagged back. Uh, mainly because
it's a it's a fresh start, have a course of
staff that believes in me. Uh. You know, I have
great weapons around me. And it's not about talking anymore.
Is all about action. And if you know, Jameis Winston
(29:50):
from whatever whenever you can watching me from little League
to even now, I'm about that action and it's gonna
be fun. Jamis Winson Dream Forever Foundation, and of course
they have this great dream room Jamis who is she?
The best of luck in the upcoming offseason, continued health
and success. Thanks so much for joining us. Thank you
