(00:25):
Monday's podcast, you boy, Doug gottliep. Here. We got a
lot to get to. We'll discuss the Titans and their ceiling.
We'll discuss Pat Mahomes and his greatness. We'll even discuss
the San Francisco forty Niners and why they're different from
the Titans, and why this feels like something that's gonna last.
But first, let me let me give my thoughts on
Aaron Rodgers performance. Boom, What Up America. Doug got Leap Show,

(00:47):
Fox Sports Radio brought to you by Farmers Insurance, who
knows the thing or two about how to save a
bucker too when you bundle home in ottos at Farmers
dot com or called one Farmers get a quote today.
We are farmers, all right. We got a lot to
get to. We have Super Bowl teams, the Niners taking
on the Chiefs, whom I picked both to win. I

(01:07):
did not pick both the cover and I was wrong
on both of those picks. Good day for the favorites,
which is a bad day for Vegas because people bet favorites. Anyway. Uh,
the Chiefs did what you're not supposed to do, which
is spot another team ten points, not once, but twice.
But it doesn't matter because they have Pat Mahomes and
no one else does. Kind of remarkable, right, The Chiefs

(01:29):
went from laughing stock of the league in terms of
their ability to find a way to lose home playoff
games to the envy of the league because they have
the elixir for anything that ails you in Pat Mahomes.
And then you have the Niners who kicked the Packers ass. Right.
We can get into other stuff, and we will about

(01:51):
Aaron Rodgers and about the Packers and about their coaching
staff and about where they are. But if you had
to sum up what you saw for the most part
in that game, you'd say that was a thorough and
complete ass whooping. Right. Actually, let's start there, let's let's
let's go there. I know that we become hyper focused

(02:15):
on Aaron Rodgers. And some of that is the business
that I've chosen. Some of that is my reaction to
my cohorts. Some of it is that somehow I've become
somebody who really thinks the world of Aaron Rodgers the talent,
and I am a on Aaron Rodgers apologist. I've been
told I did not think he played particularly well in

(02:36):
the first half. I cannot excuse the fumble. Um even
though the fumbles you know, at at worst in terms
of his fault. But they look stunned, they looked overwhelmed.
It should be pointed out that they had an opportunity
early in the game. They gotta stop on the very

(02:57):
first possession of the game, and the Packers got the football,
and on third down, Aaron Rodgers had a choice through
the out route or throw the slant. Instead, he chose
the out route, which came up a yard short. His
head coach, Matt Lafleur, who this is his first rodeo,
went conservative, decided to punt, and that was kind of that.

(03:18):
For most of the first half, Rogers threw a pick.
Rogers best drive in in a fumble. The team looks
shell shocked. He looked like he was seeing ghost. It
was just bad, but some of it could have been
helped if the defense could tackle or stop anybody some
of its matchups. Right, a team that the Packers by

(03:41):
does excuse me the yeah, the Packers by design want
to get ahead, pin their ears back and rushed the passer.
That's not the style that the Fortys played. That when
the Chargers whooped their ass, That's not the style of
the Chargers played. Get a lead, run the football, stay ahead,
and not allow their pass rushers to be gass rushers.

(04:03):
To anyone who thinks that the league or you don't
actually respect how good Rogers is, I want you to
ask yourself something. In the fourth quarter with eight and
a half minutes to go, when it was fourteen points
and it got to be third down before one Kittle
catch and then the next next the third down was
a terrible defensive past interference call. You had to at

(04:25):
least you have got a lease give it to me
that you thought yourself. If Aaron Rodgers gets the ball
back down fourteen points, this may be the best comeback
I've ever seen. Correct. Okay, so the idea that he's
gone from greatest quarterback we've ever seen too. He stinks
is laughable. He did not play well, but I think

(04:49):
he's right in terms of how close they are. Here's
Aaron Rodgers after the game. I said it last week.
The window was open for us, and that's the exciting thing.
It doesn't make this feeling any easier, but that is
very exciting moving forward. I agree with him. Aaron Jones

(05:10):
is twenty five years old in his third year in
the league, just coming into his own. Davante Adams ran
by Richard Sherman. Like Richard Sherman, I was an old man.
Allens are starting to come into his own, twenty four
years old. Marquez Valda's scantling years old, second year in
the NBA and NFL, fifth youngest roster in the league,
and a first year head coach. I looked very much

(05:32):
like a first year head coach yesterday. They're going to
get better. They're going to get better. Brian Gunenkins has
been in the organization, but he's only been GM for
a year and a half. Now, they're going to get better.
They are not far away. And while I've heard other people,
including my good friend Colin Coward, say well, you know,

(05:52):
if you want to play at home. You should a
bait in Philadelphia. Yeah, or Seattle gets to the one
FT line, don't get a lay a game out of
a time out. Seattle wins that game. That game is
in green Bay yesterday. That game is in green Bay.
And if you want to say that the Niners are

(06:12):
still better, I'm not going to dispute that the Niners
have a better roster because they were bad longer and
they drafted very, very well. But that doesn't mean that
the Niners absolutely win that game if it's played in
green Bay. Completely different football game. And I think we
all know it. If Jimmy g doesn't tear his a

(06:35):
c L that team is not as good because they
don't get Nick Bosa, who is probably the best defensive
player on their defense. He might be the best pass
rusher in the league. Right, Like I get the Kyler
Murray thing. They had to fix the quarterback deal, but
even I thought we thought he was there crazy for

(06:56):
turning down Nick Bosa. Drafted Nick Bose in Arizona. So
we can talk our way out of stuff and say
that we don't like Aaron Rodgers because he can be
a little surly and you think he's more like Jake Cutler. No,
Jake Cutler would have quit that thing at halftime and
smoke us smoked a cigarette on the sideline. Not Aaron Rodgers.
He got him within fourteen and if the defense could

(07:18):
get a stop at all, we might have had something
super exciting. He did not play well in the first half.
It's that doesn't mean he's not good. I just want
you to know that when the Patriots beat the Falcons
in the Super Bowl and they were down three, Tom

(07:38):
Brady played terrible for two and a half to three
quarters of the game. Right, the difference is Aaron Rodgers,
Tom Brady, Russell Wilson, Pat Mahomes. Those guys can bring
you back. They need a little help. They need to stop,
they need to turn over, and they couldn't get either.
And that's a credit to the Niners who dominated that game,

(08:01):
not just in terms of their offensive line, their scheme
and running the football. That's what everybody's gonna say. That's
the easy one, and that their defensive front just wrecked
havoc on the Packers. That's the easy one. They won
that thing in special teams as well. You know, Packers.

(08:22):
Packers get stopped on their second drive and they they
they fail on punt coverage and the Niners are Niners
dominated field position as well. The Niners were better in
three phases, not just one. And while we can easily
point to Aaron Rodgers was unable to be superhuman and

(08:42):
lift his team and his young head coach up, the
fact is they were beaten in all three phases in
the first half and the second half. Rogers had some success,
but it was too little, too late. I am not
closing the window on the Packers. They got a second
year GM, a first year head coach, young wide receivers.

(09:03):
They do need to fix some things, but they are
not far away and they are one Seahawks play away
from playing that game at home. And if you don't
think that's a different game playing in Green Bay, I
can't really help you. You're just denying it because you
don't like Rogers. You don't like the Packers. I don't
know you like the Niners. Watching Pat Mahomes yesterday and

(09:23):
the Chiefs reminds me of something I've seen before in sports.
It's actually in regards to baseball, not his dad when
he played baseball. In regards to baseball, I'll share that
with you upcoming next be sure to catch the live
edition of The Doug Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm
Easter noon Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I
Heart Radio a app. You know, I've been watching, um,

(09:45):
Pat Mahomes, and I do like that other people are
coming around to my assertion that he's the best quarterback
in football. Not a hard desertion to make. But what
happens is we we do deal on dated information. We're like, well,
Brady won a Super Bowl last year, he wasn't close
to the best quarterback last year, and he wasn't really
in the conversation of the top five, maybe top ten
quarterback this year. Some of that is a supporting cast,
no question. Some of that is that he's forty two

(10:07):
freaking years old. Um. But what's interesting about Mahomes is
everything about this setup is perfect, right. I know what.
It's very easy for you to sit there and go, hey,
Chicago screwed up. They did, okay, they traded up and

(10:30):
drafted Mitchell Robinsky. And as much as you could say that,
you look now at Rabiscue is hanging on for dear
life with his job and Mahomes, and that's complete mismatch
they're thinking at the time, and I've been told from
numerous sources that Mahomes was not the locked up sinch

(10:53):
to be the superstar that some may think. Look, he
threw from five thousand yards in college. They had I
think seventy yards and offense. The only problem was their
defense surrendered just as many yards. Um he had some
footwork issues, he had some work ethic issues. He had

(11:14):
some just showing up on time and being locked in
and engaged. Because he's so super freaking talented he could
get away with it. Issues From the time he was
drafted where he had to sit behind Alex Smith. Alex
Smith is the consummate pro a pros pro al right,
first guy in the building, last guy out. Not only

(11:37):
did he have to sit for sixteen weeks in play
week seventeen, but he also, you know, follows. This is
really important. He followed a quarterback who was super conservative.
So some of whom you he gets champion because he
takes chances, well, they it's not like he's following Jamis

(11:59):
Winston through thirty picks. You follow a guy that's checked down, Charlie,
and people really appreciate you throwing the football into tight
windows down the football field. Combine that with Tyreek Hill,
Travis Kelsey, who right in there as one of the
top two pass catching tight ends in the NFL. You know,

(12:19):
last year they had the best running back, we're leading
rusher in the NFL. From two years ago you had
in Sammy Watkins. They continue to draft speed and talent,
a good offensive line with a great offensive mind. He
learns to be a pro. He refines his um, some
of his flaws in terms of throwing and where his

(12:40):
eyes are, where he puts the football. He goes to
a place that will champion anybody who takes a chance.
Not just because Alex Smith was conservative, but remember when
when they had Marty Schottenheimer and all that success. When
they had Marty Schottenheimer and all that success, they would
get to the playoffs and lose early because Marty ball

(13:02):
was super conservative. So I think the whole thing is
you surround a guy with one of the best head
coaches and play callers in the history of the sport
and Andy Reid, and Andy Reid has never had a
guy like this. And he won with Donald McNabb, he
won with Alex Smith. He won, you know with Mike Vick.
But Mike Vick after he had been in jail and

(13:24):
wasn't Mike Vick was never this type of thrower. You
go Kevin Cobb, he won with go back, and look
at all the guys he had in Philadelphia. None of them,
even McNab, are gonna be Hall of famers. So if
you put a superstar quarterback in Andy Reid's offense, it's
the same as putting Pat Mahomes with this group of

(13:46):
players and Andy Reid's offense. It is Barry Bonds was
an m v P several times over right, was the
best player in baseball six or seven years and had
begun to fade a little bit. But the difference between
Barry Bonds and Sammy So Sir, Barry Bonds and Mark maguire,
they're all on steroids. You give steroids to one of

(14:07):
the greatest players in baseball history, and he's gonna set
the bar so high no one will ever climate, even
if he was in his late thirties. The same can
be said for Pat Mahomes. Pat Mahomes in the Chiefs
offense with that personnel and with Andy Reid, that is
that is a great quarterback on steroids and I don't

(14:29):
mean physically on steroids. I mean in a figurative sense. Right.
That's why we see video game like numbers. That's why
there is no lead that is insurmountable. Look, Aaron Rodgers
in that system at that age would have done the
same thing. But he's never had Tyreek Hill and Sammy

(14:50):
Watkins and Travis Kelsey all in their prime. And and
he had Mike McCarthy was really good, but has not
had the six stained success success with as a as
Nanny Reid, you give the best arm with great feet, young, energetic,

(15:11):
a guy who learned to be a pro from Alex Smith,
and a great play caller, the best personnel group in
the NFL, along with a good offensive line. This is
what you get. What appears to be a virtually unstoppable
offense appears to be. Be sure to catch the live
edition of The Doug Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm

(15:32):
Easter noon Pacific. All right, let's check in with Trent
Dell for of course, he coaches for Lipscomb Academy, following
him on Twitter at l a mustang FB, unbelievab high
school program, best weight room in the country, NFL caliber
strength coach and Trentdellers their head coach. And you know
what need I say anymore? Trent um Let's let's talk
Aaron Rodgers. You are savant when it comes to evaluating

(15:53):
the quarterback position. Give me your perspective on how he played,
uh for the entirety of that in FC Championship game.
I mean, it was tough sledding. I'm going to be
an apologist here because I don't think there's a quarterback
that's lived that could have done much more. Because they
got down early, you know, down ten nothing. It wasn't that.

(16:16):
But he made the one interception. I think when he
when he forced up ball and there on the scene,
he was trying to make something happen. It was one
of the few opportunities and Niners got a one eye
shell where he feels like he could get the ball
down the middle. Um, what what happened on that plane?
I think he thought the receiver is gonna idle a
little bit. You don't see in Rodgers under throw a
steam route that poorly. I think he thought the receiver

(16:38):
is gonna idle and kind of get big in the
scene right there about twelve fourteen yards. Instead, he keeps
running like he's gonna catch it at eighteen to twenty
two on the move. It's typically what happens when you
see a big time quarterback make that mistake in the scene.
And then it was almost as if you sound like
blow air through his lips. Do you remember that tight
by Fox? And I'm thinking to myself, he knows, like

(17:01):
he knows right now that was his one chance to
kind of pierce them, and now he's gonna see covered
to four man rush deep linebacker drops with all their linebackers,
you know, looking in at the quarterback and reading your eyes,
and it's gonna be a checkdown Charlie game. And you
know you're gonna need your defense great turnover, you need
to block a kick, or you need a guy's gonna

(17:23):
have to break, you know, six tackles and go for forty.
They're just gonna be tough sledding. And you know, to
their credit, they got they got the screen game going
in the second half. That's really how you beat Tampa
too and get some some chunk yardage, and that forced
them into one high shell. Then he's able to make
some plays in the passing game, and by that time
it was too late, so a really long winded, boring

(17:44):
bill franswer on I don't think anybody could have done
much more considering their defense is just getting cash Like
that was the the drop by the best drive they
had in the first half. They get all the way
down there and he's there's a center quarterback exchange thing.
It was bad. Um. You know, it's hard to for
us to know who to blame, but it was we

(18:05):
always the center. It's always the center's fault. Pro youth
centers out there, No, just kidding. It looked like the
center was a little short and air and actually bailed
a little quick. His bottom hand separated and and he
yanked out there a little quick. So it was shocked.
I was. I was sitting here with one of my
kids watching the game. I just like that that that's unexcusable,

(18:26):
like that can never happen um at that level. And
they did so. But and then he didn't dive in
the ball. I mean, I guess his momentum is pulling
the other way, so maybe it doesn't matter, but it
was just it was just it was weird, like he
his lack of his emotionless face in the first half,
and then you know you know, like, look, I don't
know if they really had a chance, but it felt

(18:46):
like eight and a half to go. If they can
get a stop. Um. You know, everybody in the world
fears Aaron Rodgers coming from from behind. But the defense,
Why could the defense not stop the running game of
the Niners? Junk ball defense. I've said this all year
long about Petton's defenses, and it's not a criticism at all.

(19:07):
I think he's a really good defense coordinator. But every
defense Cordiner has a DNA and they have. You know,
that's when you play in the league long enough quarterback,
you just start identifying in terms right, Um, he's a
junk ball defense. Junkball defense is typically create a lot
of clutter in the middle of the football field, both
in pass coverage UH and the run fits and UM.

(19:28):
The Niners have the ability to balance you out and
what appears to be like twelve people two tight end
or two tight end bodies, UM and extend everything a gap. Well,
if you're extending everything a gap laterally horizontally, then all
that junk ball stuff doesn't matter as much inside. On
top of that, they have two pass rushing ends guys

(19:48):
that love to hunt. They don't necessarily love to take
on double teams, combo blocks, get cut, you know, all
the things the Niners are gonna do to you on
the edges. So, I mean it was as bad a
matchup as you can find in the NFL defense to
offensive fit. Um not surprised at all that they had
to win in the running game. Now, I didn't see
it happening. You know, have ten yards to carry. I

(20:09):
don't think game they did. But um, it was pretty
obvious that this is what they're gonna do. Uh. It's
also a simple game plan, Like you know, you get
this late in the year. You don't want to overwhelm
your players with complexity. As some of the greatest game plans.
Look at the Super Bowl game plan Patriots first the Rams,
it was very very simple and concept. It was a
lot of you know, outside man funnel things to the middle,

(20:31):
don't get beat on outbreaking routes. Well, this is a
very offensive, easy offensive game plan. You know, get the
ball in the perimeter, uh, and stretch them, make them
run horizontally and make their edge guys and their secondary guys,
as frankly are not very physical guys, um cackle and
get off blocks all day long, and and they they

(20:52):
really had no chance. How how far away are the Packers?
Do you do you think this is the beginning of
a new era where they compete at the top level
or do you think that was their window and everyone
else is going to be more competitive next year? No?
I like them. I like the Packers. I mean, I
think Aaron SPRCETI has three to five really good years
in him. It looks like he's having fun again for

(21:13):
the first time. I mean, if you listen to his
press conferences and you know, for the most part just
kind of follow him, you know, it seems like he
got some life breed back into him. Um. They have
a number one receiver which is hard to find. Um,
and you know they're developing other people, so UM, I

(21:34):
think in the pass rushers, which is hard to find,
that they just need to, you know, add a little
bit here and there in free agency draft well, and um,
they have the core pieces in place to be really good.
Trying to deal for our guest in the Doug Otlip
Show here on Fox Sports Radio, the KNC Chiefs violated
the core tenants of every NFL playoff coach, which is
don't get behind right and they've done so in two

(21:57):
consecutive weeks. What does this say about Pat Mahomes and
that offense that they're able to come back from these
deficits in games in which it's it's it's a cardinal
sin to get behind earl? Yeah, I mean, I'm about
I don't know about you. I like to read body language.
I think it says probably more than your verbal language
A lot of times in sports, and expressions on guys
faces and they go ten down and they do it.

(22:20):
Uh is on Patrick Mahomes on the sideline and he's
giggling like he's almost laughing that yeah, this is where
this is where we're at our best. And then off
they go. And what was and unanswered at one point
or something? I mean, I just think they have this
this confidence to him that they don't think they can

(22:40):
be stopped. Um. It is a very very explosive passing game.
He makes it even more explosive because of his ability
to extend plays and um, and he can beat you
on time. You can't blitz them. That's number one. Every
goes why don't people bring more pressure? Well, who's going
to cover Tyreek Hill and Sammy wall Putkins and Travis Kelsey.

(23:01):
If you're blitzing, like they have these matchup situations. If
you blitz and you play man um, you know, now
you're just asking, you know, for the machete. You know,
the one slice in your head is off um. So
you're kind of everybody plays them the same way. They
play kind of soft zones. Ben try to bend but
not break, but then Patrick can break you down. And

(23:23):
these soft zones once the plays extended, you know, you
get free runners in them, and Um, I don't really know.
You know, it's kind of air radish to a certain degree.
It's like a lot of people watch college football and
they said, as you know, smu throw for five and
fifty yards. Well, they're just committed to doing it. That's
all they do. They just throw and throw and throw
and throw and throw. And and Andy Reid's really the

(23:45):
first NFL coach in a wild it's just said, well,
this is what we're gonna do. And then when you
really really get soft, you know, we'll throw a couple
of runs in there and get eight yards a clip.
But but at the end of the day, we want
to throw times a game, and we know that's where
our bread is. Butter and good. Look stop at us
trying to deal for our guest in the Doug outlier
shoe on Fox Sports Radio. Um, if you're Tennessee, what

(24:08):
what do you do now? Uh? Status quo. I think
they got a really good team. They gotta add some
pass rush, you know, they gotta add some defensive line
and they can get after the passer. They're really good linebackers,
are good in the secondary. Um, you know they they're
They're a real good run defense team. They just need

(24:28):
to get some pass rushers. Offensively, I think they have
one of the more dominant backs in football, a nice
little scat back with them, really good receivers that are young,
young tight ends. And you know, I've always been a
Ryan Tannehill apologist. So I mean, I live in Nashville now,
and I said when I moved here, I said, it
won't be long before he's a quarterback. I think he's

(24:49):
a very very gifted passer. He heard Romo talking about him.
He believes the same thing. Most quarterbacks think. He's really
really good. Um, they need to be a little more
diverse in their passing game, and I think that will come.
But let's not forget four or five six weeks ago, right,
and Tannehill was a leading pastor in the NFL, had
five something I think five fourth quarter comebacks. I mean
he was ripping it around the yard. Um. This is

(25:12):
the this is the problem. This is a low ceiling.
When you commit to this type of playoff football where
you're so run centric, your ceiling is lower. And everybody says, well,
you did it with the Ravens. I said, yeah, I
had historically great defense. Every single year, this conversation comes
up with me, well, yeah, that's the Baltimore Ravens mode.
I'm like, no, it's not. They don't have the Baltimore

(25:33):
Ravens defense. They're trying to do something that you only
can do if you have historically great defense. And we did,
and that's why we could you know, just run, run, run, run,
run and throw for a hunter yards. Um. You can't
do that and win the Super Bowl um anymore and
less again, you have one of those you know, handful

(25:53):
you can count them on one hand. How many defenses
that can just keep getting you the ball back? Okay,
so uh help me out with this news. Philip Rivers
apparently moving his family to Florida. What does that mean
for Philip rivers career, well, I mean I don't think
he's going staying in San Diego. I mean that the
writings on the wall there. But I only mean anything

(26:14):
for his career. I mean sometimes people dehumanize us as athletes.
We do have families. He's got a boatload of kids.
You know, you do have conversations outside of football that
have nothing to do with football. Um, you're looking at
raising teenagers and middle schoolers and elementary schoolers. You have
grandparents involved, have other siblings involved. Um. I think every

(26:35):
one of us as we get older. And I remember
late in my career, I didn't have any friends on
the team. I mean I was respected, I had fun
with guys on the team, but my friends were like
general managers and the coaching staff because has thirty something
years old and had four kids. Um. You know, I
think there's a life decision for Philip Rivers, and a
good one and then he'll see what the market is

(26:57):
and I think the guy has some good football left
to him. However, I did this year was the first
year I really saw it where you know, his little
way of playing that he's always his craftsmanship, his art,
the way he plays the game just wasn't working anymore. So,
I mean, it may be a tough fit for him
to find another starting job, but I think the want

(27:18):
to is still going to be there. All right. What
what do you make of Tom Brady being in Vegas? Um?
Do you think he stays josh Y Daniel staying Do
you think he stays in New England? I do. I
think he stays in New England. Um, But I think
I'm also just wanting it to happen to to be
quite honest with you, I uh, you know, I can't
see a league where Tom Brady is not a Patriot. UM.

(27:41):
So I'm hoping he stays in New England. Um. But
I also think that you know, at the end of
every season, you know there's a motion. Um. The wisest people,
the Tony Dunge's of the world, the guys that I
really respect more anybody has always said, don't make any
decisions the first few weeks after the season, any decisions
at home or in in uh, in business, the business

(28:04):
of football, because you'll be too um emotional in those decisions.
To get some time away reprocess, kind of press the
reset button and then you'll have a little more wisdom
in discernment when you make decisions. So I think right
now all of everybody, everybody in the league is jumping
to these you know, um having these rash narratives because
there's so much raw emotions still from the season. But

(28:27):
coalmer heads will prevail here in the next couple of weeks.
Burrow or you know, it's tough. I think they're both
gonna be great players. I think To has way more horsepower.
I think he has a higher ceiling. But I don't
think you can go wrong. I mean, I don't want
to get into either or they're different. They're very different players. Um,

(28:47):
and I think it's what you want to become offensive.
I mean, To has a chance to be Patrick Mahomes Um.
Burrow you could easily see becoming a Romo or a
Brady's type of Bray's probably wrong. I don't compare anybody
Brady but a Romo type player, Um, a Breeze type player. Um.

(29:08):
But again, I think they're both gonna be great players. Okay,
outside of those two, if you had to bet on
a quarterback, who would it be. I like the Herbert kid.
I really like him a lot. I think he's super talented, Um,
I think and again in the right fit, he's a

(29:29):
he's a Tannehill type. He's got a lot of horsepower.
He's a really really good, really really good athlete. UM.
I think he last year's offense, UM, he evolved a
little bit, became more of a pro type player, was
asked to do more. UM, I think he's I think
he's really good and I like from him. I just
I think From is going to be again another unique

(29:52):
type fit guy, and and doesn't have the throwing, you know,
the one thing I feel like it wasn't developed properly
with Jake From. Jake from and out of high school
was a big time passer. I mean there was not
a throat he didn't have, and then he kind of
got it sequestioned a little bit at Georgia where he
just kind of became a play action throw the bottle
on the sideline or take shots guys guy. And I

(30:14):
think given a like Drew Brick that I could see
Sean Payton drafting Jake From thinking he's Drew Brees. I
could see one of these true West Coast guys that
have grown up with with passers. UM, and that's what
they value the most. UM. Drafting Jake From. The Other
thing about Jake From is a uniquely gifted leader, deadly accurate,

(30:37):
tough guy. You know, he's a guy right away in
your locker room that everybody's gonna gravitate too. I think
there's four four really good ones in this draft, Mariot
or Winston. Who's more savable? Oh gosh, Mario asked to
go to a special fit. I mean, he's always been
a thick guy. I was the one guy, you know,
five years ago draft that I thought it was silly

(30:59):
that he was being after that high because he was
a fit guy. He's a talented guy. He's an great athlete,
is an awesome person. He's a great he checks a
lot of the boxes. But the way he played, there's
only so many places he could play that way. Um
where I think Winston, I just I said this a year.
Just give him one more year with Bruce, one more

(31:20):
year of clad Christians in his quarterback coach, just one
more year working through this turnover thing. And if it
doesn't even by midyear, if he's still turning the ball
over at that rate, then you're just kind of done
your cup, bait. But I do think his upside is
so high it's worth taking that risk for at least
half the season. Awesome stuff Trent Dilfer, super Bowl Champion

(31:40):
quarterback and of course, longtime NFL analyst TD incredible inside.
Thanks for joining us. Thanks brother, have it going you too,

This time we get you as many stories, uh, as
many stories as we can in the world of sports.
We call it game time. Bag. This is game time

(32:23):
on the Doug Gottlieb Show. Damn buy what he got, Doug.
The game today is big deal, little deal or no deal?
That The total viewership for this year's a f C
Championship game of just over forty one million was less
than the last three any of the last three a
f C title games. Um, I think that's uh little deal.

(32:48):
It's to be expected. You know, Tennessee does not have
a huge fan base. They're not seen as a fun
team to watch. Kansas City that has a great fan
base UM and kind of dominates some of the Midwest,
but they're not Green Bay a early window too. You know,
they were the early window right when CBS has the game,
they get the late window always, but it doesn't have
the Patriots as well, right, and if you don't have

(33:09):
the Patriots, it's going to change things dramatically. So you know,
it's like one of those teams. Patriots are kind of
like Duke, like you either want to see him win
or you want to see him Lewis, but you want
to see him. Fifty three point nine million watched last
year's and as I mentioned, forty one point one million
watched this year's. A f C chap lay does does
in fact matter? Yeah, I would guess that. Okay, so
last year it was what Rams and first Saints were first.

(33:34):
Do you know what the numbers were on the UM,
I don't have them. I would guess it's more this
year late as opposed to early. In The Packers are
a huge name. You know, it's people talk about market
size all the time. It's not really market size like
Steelers are big. It's not a huge market. Uh, Patriots
are big. That's actually not a huge market. The one
two years ago Patriots Jaguars was the early window and

(33:58):
they that had forty four million just over so somewhat
comparabat a big Maybe there isn't Patriots fatigue, big deal,
A little deal of no deal. That the average ticket
price for Super Bowl fifty four right now in the
secondary market, according to seat geek, is almost ninety dred
dollars A big deal last year. That's that's a for

(34:21):
the Bowl. Well, they're always more early than they are late.
But you have two teams fan bases that haven't been there, can't.
I can't say we'll fill up that stadium. But like
like college, you know, and you got they're also Missouri
fans and Kansas fans in terms of college and they
haven't got a chance to go to a good bowl game.
I would and it's cold. I will guess that will
be a seventy five Kansas City fans. Arrowheads South can

(34:46):
you have a lot of money coming out of San Francisco, right,
so those but in Silicon Valley. But I would guess
that is Arrowhead South cool stadium. Have you been there?
Redid it not since the redone. I've done been there
about I don't know, five or six times, but not
since the Redo. So I'm curious to see what it
looks like with the fairly random location. Yeah, it is

(35:07):
out in the middle of It's kind of the middle
of nowhere, in the center of everything, right, Like you
can get to four Lauderdale. It's like fifteen minutes to
one airport, fifteen minutes to the other. It's like close
to everything, but close to nothing. Anyway. I've seen two
Super Bowls there and then the one year they had
the Pro Bowl there, remember prior to the week prior
and then I've been to a few Orange Bowls and
National Championships there. But yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing

(35:28):
what it now looks like. I didn't know how to
phrase this next one. I was just gonna say a
big deal, a little deal, or no deal Ryan Tannehill
and leave it at that. But I'll say this big deal,
little deal or no deal that Ryan Tannehill still out
of passer rating of more than a hundred and eight,
and yesterday's a f C title game loss. Little deal,
little deal. He's going to be their quarterback and you
gotta be happy for a guy who I felt like

(35:51):
he won people in Miami over like three years ago.
Then he had the knee injury. Then he came back
to early and never had surgery, and then missed another year,
and then last year he was playing pretty well and
they had the shoulder issue. Um yeah, I mean he
seems to have found at home where they I think.
But the the numbers are a little deal. You got
a ten point lead twice and you can't continue to

(36:12):
score that. That's just not good enough. Big deal, little
deal or no deal. That Chief's quarterback Patrick Mahomes led
the NFL and jersey sales from March through November, knocking
Tom Brady from that top spot. Um, I think that's
a big deal. I think it's a big deal. I mean,
obviously Lamar Lamar Jackson's jersey was sold out most of
the year, Like I know, my kids Christmas presid didn't

(36:33):
come until like January three. Um, but you know, part
of his guys don't have it. And I think people
are catching up to the fact that he's notably the
best in the league, but gonna be the best for
a while. Interesting because this dates all the way back
to the spring, so there were probably a lot of
Jersey sales there. But according to the nfl p A
Lamar Jackson didn't even make the top ten, which was unique.

(36:54):
So I think it's because they sold out. It could
have been. I really think it's because I said, also,
don't have you know Christmas? December's uh not included in this?
A couple more big deal, a little deal or no deal?
That Philip Rivers moved to Florida. It seems like a
big deal, doesn't it. Yeah, it seems like a really
really really big deal. Where in Florida do we know?

(37:15):
I don't know, but I thought it was. I thought
it was maybe South Florida, but Panhandle would seem to
be more if he wanted to be closer. Right, redneck
riviera is what you're saying. Did you say redneck Riviera?
I did not. That's what it's. It's it's Phil Mickelson
is moving to Florida as well, so out of the Texas, right, yeah, yeah,

(37:38):
Rancho Santa Fe so yeah, so they're all moving from
San Diego to Florida. All the pills are but yeah,
Philip Rivers moving to Florida. Finally, dug big deal. A
little deal or no deal that Baylor jump Gonzaga to
get to number one in this week's AP Top twenty
five College Coops. Kind of a big deal, Like, did
did Gonzaga do something wrong? I'm not aware of that,
didn't beat it bad enough? They beat b y U

(38:00):
ninety two to sixty nine, granted by best player didn't play,
and they beat Santa Clara one O four fifty four.
They won one six nine and got leapfrogged. Can somebody
explain that one to me? All right, Uh, there's something
everyone is missing about something everyone's missing, and it's in

(38:22):
regards to their dominance. I'll share it with you coming next.
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Doug
gott Leap Show weekdays at three pm Easter noon Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio ah APP.
I want to say this in regards to Tony Romo okay,
who reportedly is going to be offered the kitchen sink
by one of my former homes to leave one of

(38:43):
my other former homes. So there's a tidbit reported by
Andrew Marcian. Andrew Marcian I used to work with him.
Now he covers the business of sports broadcasting is a
really good job for the New York Post, and he
and a couple other guys are kind of synonymous with it.
But there's I always find this to be interesting and

(39:05):
that this is so there's a report Andrew Marshan had it,
John Orland had it, and now everybody's picking up on
it that no matter what deal he is offered by
whichever other network outside of CBS, CBS has the right
to match. Right, here's a like a little known fact.

(39:25):
This is a lot like in the NFL. You know,
we talked about guys that are free agents. Tom Brady
is one of the few. Right, there's two veteran quarterbacks
this year, Philip Rivers and Tom Brady, whom you cannot franchise.
But most of these guys they could be franchised, so
it doesn't really matter if they want to be free
agents or not. Right Like, if team wants keep them,
they find a way to keep them, get the franchise.

(39:46):
Tagging the transitional tech in broadcasting. I am yet to
sign a contract. I don't know of one that exists
that doesn't have a right to match. Remember what I
just said, So like you make to you that may
seem like wow, they get the right to match. That
is poll position, like yes, sort of everyone has it.

(40:11):
Everyone has it in their deal. It's whether or not
it's actually exercised or not, because two things a gentleman's agreement.
Sometimes you'll just go like, hey, look, you can match it.
I really don't want to stay, and most people go like, hey,
it's been cool. It's been cool. And secondly, you can't
actually match the terms of another company because the terms

(40:33):
can be very different based upon what resources they have
to throw at you. Right anyway, just the devil is
in the details, and sometimes what's reported I think is
interesting to people like wow, they get the right to match.
Then he's not leaving, like yeah, everybody kind of has
the right to match actually exists everywhere. Forty Niner's offense

(40:54):
is played two playoff games. They've run eighty one run
plays to on quarterbacks nine if you conclude Jimmy Garoppolo's scrambles.
So let's seven pass attempts, three run plays for everyone
past attempt in a world where five years ago we

(41:15):
were like, you gotta have balance, you gotta be able
to run the football some one to one ratio or
two passes to one run ratio. You've got three to
one run. What's the natural reaction, Well, they're just scared
to let Jimmy Garoppolo throw because Jimmy Garoppolo, who will
throw it to the other team occasionally, is an experience

(41:37):
and he'll get confused. Keep in mind they haven't trailed
in either game. When the score was tied. Against the Vikings,
they called fifteen plat pass plays and twelve run plays.
They showed the ability to be balanced. Last night against
the Packers, they had thirty eight rush attempts. They ran
from two six yards. You would keep handing it off too,

(41:58):
if it was working like it was last night. In
the entire regular season, four seventy pass to run, almost
a perfect one to one ratio. They're not afraid to
throw the ball. They're not protecting Jimmy Garoppolo. They're taking
what the defense gives them, and they're gouging them. And

(42:19):
what's interesting to me, Most interesting to me is if
you watched last night. Now, granted, on the last big
drive when it got to fourteen points, they did try
to throw it a kittle twice once he caught it once.
They called an atrocious past interference penalty. It was atrocious
because it's kind of like I've described it to you,

(42:40):
this is the problem with p I and even reviewing
p I. When does p I start? Because oftentimes the
offense creates the contact and then the defense gets caught
with their hand. The cookie jars. That's what happened last night.
But think of the worst moment in Hal Shanahan's career

(43:01):
as a play color. They're up three, Julio Jones makes
the most ridiculous spectacular catch while up three, and if
they had simply taken a knee, don't even need to
run the football. But it's simply taken a knee, probably
kicking field goal. Up thirty one, three and the game
is over. Matt Ryan gets sacked trying to drop back

(43:26):
and pass there at a field goal range. They punt,
Brady wakes up, they come back. The rest is history.
But you have a head coach who has learned from
his past and has learned from his past. Now is
was Matt Ryan Moore experienced than Jimmy Garoppolo. Yeah, and

(43:52):
so maybe some of it is trusting Matt Ryan. Maybe
it's that he had Julio Jones, that the construct of
the team was different. But the fact is you have
a coach who when he was a coordinator in the
Super Bowl got crushed for just run the football. Stupid,
fine creases, fine lanes, keep the chains, keep the clock moving,
don't overthink yourself, don't get cute. They got cute, and

(44:13):
they got beat. They got caught by the Patriots last night,
and through this playoffs, he's like, why am I gonna
throw it when I can just run it? And no,
no one on earth who plays football thinks that Jimmy
Garoppolo should be bent out of shape over terry bread
shot brad Shaw saying, you know your arms should be rested, right.

(44:36):
You can't play football at especially the position of quarterback
and not take a little giggles over the fact that
you threw the ball what eight times? Eight times? Look
like a high school game in the nineteen eighties. But
it was a spectacular game plan, an amazing ability to
block the opponent, the use of leverage, trapped plays, sweet plays.

(45:02):
Even the fact that Garoppolo carries out the bootlegs every
time as if he has the basketball has the football,
just shows how old coach they are. They're exceptionally well coached,
that is a well coached football team, regular season on
the road against the Saints. What they do passes why

(45:23):
they're behind, and the defense determined dictated that they need
to throw the football, and they won the game. You know,
this is in on some level the old Bill Bill
Belichick model, which is you can't necessarily go into a
game determined to prove that your style works. Instead, just
do whatever it takes to win that football game, and

(45:45):
then next week do whatever it takes to win that
football game, and the next week, do whatever it takes
to win that football game. Yes, do they run. Is
this their style of running attack? Absolutely, and it's it's
a beautiful thing to watch. They got power running, they
got speed, they got great blocking. They get to the
second level with their not just their tight ends, but

(46:06):
also they're they're fullback. It's a really well coached team.
But this idea that they're protecting Jimmy Garoppolo from Jimmy
Garoppolo because they think that he could cause a disaster. No,
I think it's reasonable to put him in positions where
he can succeed. But more than anything, why that would

(46:27):
you throw it? Take what the defense gives you. That
is football. What oh one, that is basketball. What one
take what the defense gives you. And if anything, that's
a dramatic departure from the old school football mentality, which
if any of you grew up playing football like I did,
your coach would come and say, hey, if we do
what we do well, it doesn't really matter what they do. Yeah,

(46:49):
that's not actually how it works, not actually how it works.
You gotta take what they give you and exploit the weakness.
Every defense has one. There is no perfect defense, there
is no perfect play. Everyone has a weakness, and the
Niners seemed to continually exploit whatever the weakness was in

(47:10):
that Packers day. All Right, a particular style came up
short this year in the NFL, and I will give
credit to this group of people. I'll share that with you.
Be sure to catch the live edition of the Doug
Gottlieb Show weekdays at three p m. Easter noon Pacific
Doug Gotlip Show here on Fox Sports Radio. This is
Mike Vrabel on how the game started against the Titans.

(47:33):
We wanted. I think when you play teams like this,
or teams that are good as the Chiefs, as explosive
as they are, and when you kind of knew that
they were gonna make a run. Yeah. Um, I'm like, look,
I I do understand that. You know there, you feel
like you know they're gonna make a run. I like Rabel,

(47:54):
I do. I think we all know that there's a
limit to that style, right, that you have to play it.
It's the ability to play near perfect football is what
you need now now it can It can help you
win games against teams that you're even with, or if
you get a big lead and a team has a

(48:14):
sizeable flaw, like they can't you know that they can't
uncork it and start throwing it all around, all around
the yard. But we've seen this style, and I know
you're just saying, hey, way, god, we just saw the
Niners run the football a ton they want. Yeah, but
the Niners have the ability to open it up and

(48:35):
throw it right. And they're not beating you with just
one running back, not just hand to one guy empower
running the football and shortening the game. Right. They're doing
all kinds of different kind of clever stuff. And they
also got out early and dominate the Packers. The Packers
team who's designed also to get out of early penieriers
back and rush the quarterback, like the Packers actually match

(48:56):
up better with the Chiefs than they do the Niners stylistically.
That how they're built is if if they had that lead,
it would have been more secure than the Titans, because
the Titans aren't really designed to keep scoring. You gotta
keep school, you gotta keep them off the field, but
you gotta keep scoring. The Titans going these eight minute drives,

(49:16):
it just drag out, which rests their defense. But it
can be debilitating. When you go on an eight minute drive,
you rest your defense and you get out of the
field all of a sudden, your back and scored a
touchdown and they're kicking it off again. Theoretically, it should
wear down the Chiefs, but actually, and I'll actually reality it,
I felt like it made the Titans defense freak out
a little bit. Look, I'm not saying that power running

(49:39):
the football shortening the game, you know, is a bad philosophy.
It's one that's tried and true and does work, especially
when you have inferior talent. But the Chiefs are designed,
are legit designed to win games like that where they
struggle sometimes honestly, it's in shootouts, you know. Shootouts are

(50:03):
the ones that can can come back and get them.
But the lack of diversity in their offense, like you're
just not designed for that. This this is where you
almost got to give the analysts people credit. Right, there's
there's this um stat called e p A expected points

(50:25):
per What is it expected the points average right for
each play? Right? And the way in which the Chiefs
play has a far higher e p A than the
way the Titans play. They're taking chances there, they make
up grounds so quickly, you know, you even pin them
back deep and they're like all right, fine, they complete
a twenty yard to Kelsey over the middle and all

(50:45):
of a sudden, field position kind of goes away. Their
e p A is so much higher than Tennessee that
it makes Tennessee actually fighting against itself to win a game.
Like Mike Abel said, like, look, we got out the
exact start we want. We're up ten nothing, and then
I think they're up seventeen seven as well. Right there,

(51:07):
they have the the exact start. They could not have
gone any better. And they have a great punter, and
they have a good defense, and they got veterans and
even that, but you start taking on water plugging leaks
in your defense and it does affect your offense, you
do start to freak out. Holy hell, we better get
this first town. If not, we're gonna be playing defense
for like thirty seconds and chasing Tyreek Hill around and

(51:29):
it it's not like it's the first time they've seen
Kansas City. They saw him really this year and beat him.
Remember they had to score thirty five to beat him,
and yesterday couldn't score thirty five. Yeah, I mean, look,
the Chiefs have shown you that two people who say
running the football is now in vogue, and these guys
that throw it all the time. It depends on who

(51:50):
you have thrown it and who he's throwing it too.
If you got dudes and all those spots, you got Kelsey,
and you got Watkins, and you've got Tyreek Hill, you're
in good shape. You're in good ship. You run it
every once in a while to just take a breath.
You know, the Ravens. The Ravens are basically a running offense.
They camp short. Titans running offense, they camp short. Heck,

(52:13):
even you know, the Patriots want to be a power
running football team. They could not. They came up short.
And when we told you that was the thing about
the Patriots that it wasn't just that they struggled to
score and said, hey, you're in the a f C
where those teams are putting up points. But the points heck,
we saw it last week with with Houston. Houston got

(52:33):
out to a huge lead, but bam, bam bam they
come back and they counter a CounterPunch so well, and
there is no freak out in mahomes at all at all.
But between the Vikings, the Titans, the Ravens, heck even
the Packers, these teams that want to dominate running the football,
you better, you better get ahead, You better do it

(52:53):
really well. You better get ahead by a bunch and
have a defense that is dynamic because your margin for
error has made much more slightly Heck, even than Niners.
That thing was they were up fourteen and there were
a lot of really tight people, really type people. Fox

that zone blocking running scheme than a guy who uh
led it to a Super Bowl in and to a

(53:36):
Hall of Fame induction. That's Terrell Davis TV joins us
on the Doug Otlip Show here on Fox Sports Radio TV.
How are you what's going on? Man? I'm doing great?
What's that like to watch some similarities some similarities to
your overall dominance for uh, for your whole former head
coaches son yesterday in the NFC Championship game. Yeah, yeah,

(53:56):
there there were something familiar about that game, um, you know.
But the difference is is kind of the way they
run the football as opposed to when I was playing.
We we ran the zone, we ran some power, some
gap scheme stuff. But what they're doing is they have
a lot of like motions and shifts, and they they
used the running game and so many more ways than

(54:17):
I've ever used it. That they're creating space and gap
all over the place, and they've got guys who understand
where those holes are going to be. They're really good
at at seeing and having spatial orientation and and most
had a heck of a game yesterday, so it was
fun to watch it. I root for Kyle m obviously,
I've known it for a long time. Played for his dad,
and not only that, but the running backs coach, Bobby

(54:39):
Turner with my running backs coach and real good friend
of mine, and he's a phenomenal coach. He's actually the
secret sauce to the running game because he has a
he has that ability to get the best out of
his running back. It seemed like it just seemed like, again,
this is total layman watching that. One, whatever they were
doing in terms of motions and shifts, green Bay really

(55:00):
uggle to set the edge. And then two, whether it's
Mozart or whoever was running the football, they seemed to
read if the edge was set, whether or not to
cut it inside. I cannot remember a game where there
was more It felt like nearly every play was positive
yardage um. So from your perspective because you see the
game so much differently than us who haven't played or

(55:23):
haven't played at a high level, right, what helped me
out with why there was such gaping, Like why couldn't
Green Bay set the edge? What were they doing? If
you could try and explain it in the most layman terms,
I know it well. The first thing you talk about
setting the edge, and what that means is that they're indefenders,
which is a rush. Defensive ends they have to squeeze,

(55:44):
hit the offensive tackles and push it, push them basically
up the field and create a sort of a box
where the back can't go outside. He has to come
inside where you have your your nose tackle, your three
techniques or interior linebackers can make the tackle. What they
do is because they do motions and they do shifts,
they're able to outflank a lot of those UH defenders.

(56:07):
And so if a defensive end is trying to set
the edge and there's somebody outside of him who's now
cracked blocking on him, well that edge is now soft
and now you can attack that. And so Kyle is
really really good at watching tape, coming up with ways
to attack the defense and really what their their weaknesses are.
He's been fantastic at doing that. And again, if you're

(56:28):
a defender, they like to play with your eyeballs, and
what that means is you can't be aggressive if you're
looking all over the place. See if you're looking inside
outside trying to see who's going to crack block you.
You know, whether that guy who's in motion, whether he
has the ball speed, you know, jet sweep all that stuff.
So all of that is to confuse the defensive uh
the player and make him less aggressive. And that's what

(56:50):
they did with the Packers. You know, this year has
been so much about the running game, right, and when
when everyone it became such a passing league, teams like
the Niners hack, like the Packers, even with Aaron Jones,
they zigged when everybody else was zagging. Is this is
this here to stay? Or do you think that defenses
will adjust in terms of personnel? Well, I would tell

(57:10):
you this because I know how this offense works. This
offense can morph into whatever it needs to be. And
what I mean by that is, let's say, next game
or obviously Super Bowl, we may not see the amount
of Russian attempts. You know, they might see something in
Kansas City's defense that allows them throw the ball, and
you might see a lot of a lot more bootlegs, right,

(57:30):
a lot of fakes, flashing passes down the field. You know,
they're going to take advantage of whatever the defense gives them,
and that's what they've been really good at. So when
you got an offense that can do multiple things, run
the football, throw the football, uh, do play action screens,
jet sweeps. You know, that's that's that cow's disposal. So

(57:50):
I think he's gonna have another great game plan for
the Kansas City Chiefs, and it may not be one
that requires them to throw the ball eight times. I mean,
I've never been in the game where I was in
a quarterback go for eight, you know, eight attempts, six
completions and and win the way they won. So that's
that's cool. That was almost like a high school game.
And the way they've executed that run game, I would

(58:13):
I would agree that a lot of people said there's
like a high school game and had you know, and
in the volume of Russian contempts, and then the the
way in which there was utter and and sheer domin
Strell Davis joining US Hall of Fame running back, of course,
a spectacular career with the Denver Broncos, led them to
a Super Bowl and led him to be an NFL
network analyst and a Pro Football Hall of Famer um.
On the other side, you have Pat Mahomes and it's interesting,

(58:35):
you know, present day people like to compare him to
Aaron Rodgers, but I'm not sure that there's enough people
who remember what Elway was like in his prime, not
necessarily with you, because you were more towards the end
of John's career when you carried the team, but early
when he took him to two Super Bowls, his ability
to run, throw on the run moved moved the chains.

(58:57):
If if you were to draw apparel out to my homes,
would it be Far, Would it be Aaron Rodgers? Would
it be el Way? Who does he most remindu? Uly? Yeah,
that's a great one. Um, probably Far. And the reason
I say Far is just because of the unconventional things

(59:19):
that he does. You know, Far was really about Um,
you know he. I mean, he was just playing out
of structure, like he will see something. He's starting against
the grain, he's running, doing all the high risk plays,
but yet he's getting results, and so he was taking
the chances. He his whole philosophy was high risk, high reward.
And I think Patrick Mahomes has the same philosophy, Like

(59:39):
he's just out there making place. He's gonna make enough
place to where he's willing to take the chance that
they're gonna pay off, and you can guard him, you
can defense to the offense for the first three seconds.
But yet instead of the extended play and where he
becomes the least though, and then he he just had
an armed talent somebody that is retreating back from pressure

(01:00:00):
or and he's fifteen yards in the backfield and he's
throwing darts. So he's gifted. I think he resembles Um
far of a little bit more. But I do see
some John Elway in him when John was younger, and
Jonathan used his leg and his legs and how he
was able to kind of wills his team to victory.
Same same thing as Patrick Mahomes Ll Davis joining us
two times, were bull Champion Hall of Famer's s Doug

(01:00:21):
Gotlip show, Fox Sport Trade. Of course you see him
in the NFL network. How would you characterize Aaron Rodgers
play yesterday? I thought that um it was they talked
all week about having answers um to the Niners defense,
and I was wondering, you know what kind of answers
when you had the first time they played him, Um,
Aaron was sacked five times, they were one for fifteen
on the third down. Um, Aaron Jones was not involved

(01:00:44):
in the offense. And I still feel like they're struggling
with their identity a little bit. And and as much
as they respect Aaron Rodgers and they know that he
is a Hall of Famer, that they're still trying to
win through Aaron. And I think that recipe is you know,
when I played with John Elway, I came in when
we were transitioning from a passing team to a running team,
and I think the Packers need to take the same playbook.

(01:01:06):
You know, Aaron is a phenomenal quarterback, but you gotta
give him a good run game. Aaron Jones is capable.
They just don't go through him, you know, I don't know,
like the floor like he just feels like, uh, that's
just not part of his his style. But I thought
Aaron was spooked the minute he started getting pressure. Is
sort of looked like Game one they played early in
the season and they never recovered from that. It was

(01:01:28):
he was out there seeing I don't know if he
was seeing ghosts, but he was seeing things that that
that certainly weren't actually they were there. They were freshing
him a lot during that game. Yeah, it was interesting.
He did seem to regain his composure in the second half,
but the Niners couldn't get a stop and couldn't get
him an opportunity to get into within one one score.
But yes, there was some very I mean the fact

(01:01:49):
that he didn't even jump on the loose ball when
they fumbled. It was weird, right like, yeah, I know,
kind of yeah, I know, it's you know, and I
never trying to question anybody's you know, their their their
toughness or where their mental state is. And you know,
but that's an important player, right yeah, I mean the
balls on the ground. You gotta you gotta show me
that you you're willing to fight for it. And for

(01:02:10):
whatever reason, he didn't. Drill Davis joining us on the
Doug Out Them show on Fox Sports Radio. What is
it like to play in that game? You've done so twice,
you've won it twice. What's it like? It's fun? Well,
it's a lot. It was fun for you. I'm sure
if you asked the Broncos that played with John the
first couple of times, they said it wasn't fun. But
but but no, so all honesty, what is that? It
is fun? You know it is if you couldn't ask

(01:02:33):
for a better that's what you play for. That's why
you play the game. Like that moment you dreamed of
that as a child, you with all these training camps,
mini camps, O t a. S. Everything you've done was
to get you to that point and now it's here,
and part of it is understanding what it is. But
don't don't be in all of it. And that's the

(01:02:54):
problem I think some players make, is that they're in
awe of this, of all the attention they get the
media day. Uh, all the eyeballs in the world are
gonna be watching you on game day. But you gotta
find some way to make it normal. And of course
it's important, but just don't do something differently than what
you've been doing all season long. To me, every game
was important. So when I got to the Super Bowl,

(01:03:15):
yeah it was important to make sure that I sharpened
up on my my stuff. But I didn't go out
there and try to do anything that I didn't do
during the season, because I don't want to use that
stage as no test testing ground. Like, you know, prepare
the same way. Be prepared to play the game, and
you know when it's time for the ball to be
kicked off, be ready. You know, trying to try to
play your best games, but don't try to overdo it.

(01:03:36):
And I think too many people try to overdo it
is that the same with I know you're helping you
prepare for their February second party? Is that the same
same thing? You? You want to do it right, but
not overdo it. Absolutely. I'm not sure what you're watching
at home, man, but you know it's no better time
to upgrade your TV. Get that, Oh lad, I'm telling

Look forward to seeing you in South Beach, and thanks
so much for joining us on Fox Sports Radio. Sounds good, Doug,
I have a going pleasures all mine, the great Terrell Davis,

personnel and you hear him on Fox Sports Radio. Jeff Didiah,
longtime NFL inside, and of course I used to work

(01:06:30):
and live in Kansas City, so he can give you
a lot of perspective on exactly all the demons that
were eradicated last weekend or yesterday, really in Kansas City?
Can Tom Brady still played the Super Bowl level? We'll
discuss next. Be sure to catch the live edition of
the Doug gott Leap Show weekdays at three p m.
Easter noon Pacific on Fox Sports Radio in the I

(01:06:51):
Heart Radio app. Did Terrell Davis set the mark because
because this weekend or next week in Miami, we will
have an unbelievable list of guests, no pressure, right music. Um,
and I'll also point this out and we'll mention during
Super Week it'll also be with heavy hearts. Cindy Katz
was our booker. You're at Fox Sports Radio. She passed away. Um,

(01:07:17):
she passed away was two months ago. Two months ago.
And not only is the Super Bowl, but this is
every booker's Super Bowl. Right. You get pitched everyone in
in sports and sometimes not in sports, and uh, you
know it was up to her to say yes or

(01:07:38):
no and set all the schedules and everything and so
now everybody else's left of all hands on deck if
you will. And it's one of those times like, man,
why is this so hard to do? Like, oh, yeah,
we don't have Cindy here. She did everything and we
got the best guests, so we will be missing her
next week anyway, Usually just one pitch, but t D
was at four? Do we get four pitches in one?

(01:08:00):
I think it was? I think it was four four?
We had a TV, right, there's a TV pitch TV beans,
there's beans. There's some other sort of dip because the
cheese dipp and the shaver and the shift of Narrolko
where we found out that Traill Davis claims to be
Harry I got. I thought, I thought, sorry, this is

(01:08:22):
like a racial I don't know. I'm not a I'm
not black. I thought black dudes wearn as Harry's white
dudes on like they're back and stuff. Like when you
go to a locker room and guy takes off his
shirt and it's like puff of hair. That's usually a
usually a white dude, right, isn't it. Yes, the sasquatch
look is usually generally that's usually where you're like you

(01:08:44):
have to get the neck hair trimm just so the
separation and neck and back hair that's not usually I'm
in by ratio stereotyping the fact that white men have
not evolved. I'm not sure more ways than one. Let's
get to uh, let's get to this and every day
this time the Doug Gotlip. Shall we play for you
a portion of a previous show on Fox Sports Trader

(01:09:06):
Fox Sports One. Here's Skip Bayliss on what he's seen
from the Niners and Jimmy g. If Tom Brady were
the quarterback of the forty Niners going to this Super Bowl,
they would be a five point favorite instead of a
one and a half point underdog. You know it, and
I know it because what is the X factor we're
about to talk about for the next two weeks? What
is the potential Achilles heel for the forty Niners. Who

(01:09:28):
is the guy that Kyle Shanahan will do his darndest
to try to keep the ball out of his hands.
It's Jimmy Garoppolo. If Tom Brady were the quarterback, he
would be so much more poised because Jimmy can go
deer in headlights. He's much more accurate than than Jimmy
G is He's just much more trustworthy under fire, especially

(01:09:52):
in Super Bowls, which Tom Brady has mostly owned. He's
six and three in Super Bowls, and to me, he's
not getting any older. You think he's done, he's over
the hill, he's washed up. And here's my final takeaway.
If by chance, I'll knock on wood for the forty Niners,
if Jimmy G becomes the reason by far that they
lose this Super Bowl, if he throws three picks and

(01:10:14):
just completely unravels and just looks awful in the face
of Patrick Mahomes, I would not be shocked if John
Lynch the forty Niners GM, if he doesn't in the
off season make up play for Tom Brady, because it
has been written several times, they could get right out
from under Jimmy G without any huge salary cap hit

(01:10:37):
Doug otlip Show here on Fox Sports Radio. Okay, so
there's a lot to it. Do I think that what
Skip Bayless is saying in terms of the trustworthiness of
Tom Brady is beyond reproach. Sure he's been a nine.
Suppose you know, I haven't count how many an FC

(01:10:58):
Championship games have been to It's like a crazy, crazy number.
So he's seen more than any quarterback an hour or
any generation in terms of super high level football. He's
seen it all. Um. But one thing that I believe

(01:11:19):
is missing from the discussion, and this is not just Brady,
Philip Rivers is like this, And I know what Brady
is more athletic than Philip Rivers is you have to
understand that this type of offense only works with an
athletic quarterback. Now, general, what we used to say was
the athletic quarterback meant um a guy who could a

(01:11:41):
guy who can run run for a first down, right,
That's what we used to say. A guy who can
run for a first down, you know, a scrambler, a
mobile quarterback. But to get to those stretch run plays,
you have to be athletic. You have to get the snap,
you have to get the football there, you gotta sprint back,
and then after hanging the ball off, you've gotta carry
out some fakes and occasionally play fake and get your

(01:12:02):
feet set and throw the football. So the modern day athlete,
modern day quarterback has to be more athletic in the pocket,
not not necessarily scrambling for a first down, but you've
gotta have great foot speed and quickness, and Brady does
not have that. He is nimble within the confines of
throwing a football, the small space that he needs to

(01:12:24):
throw football. He's incredibly nimble there, incredibly but in terms
of the pocket and excuse you me, in terms of
handing off and running running plays and all the stretched stuff,
and no, no, no no, I'm not crushing Skip for what
he's saying in terms of his reliability. But we're also look,

(01:12:46):
one of the reasons that the run game does work
is the mobility of Garoppolo to play fake and then
get to a different spot, as well as the fact
that Tom Brady just does not have the arm strength
or arm accuras or quickness. He has to get to
his spot, stand up tall, and deliver the football. Even
then sometimes he's off I disagree with Skip. I don't

(01:13:07):
think it's a plug in play that Tom Brady in
this offense makes them unstoppable. Doug gotlip show here on
Fox Sport Trade. What are you saying there, Ryan? How
would you based off of Brady and what he did
with the Patriots this year, how would you describe his season?
Would you say it was below average, very good, below

(01:13:29):
average for him or for the league, for within what
was expected out of him, with the weapons that he
had on the Patriots, How would you say that he
played within that system, because I think that's a big
part that's being overlooked about what he did this season.
Is Yes, by the very by the stats, and by

(01:13:51):
what he's played like in the past, you would say
it's clearly below average, considering they've lost in the first
round of the playoffs. But I think when you look
at what he had to work with, I actually think
he had a pretty good season. I'm not sure there
are many other quarterbacks beyond like Patrick Mahomes or maybe
Russell Wilson, more Aaron Rodgers or you know, the elite quarterbacks.

(01:14:14):
But I even think of Aaron Rodgers, I'm not sure
he would have done much more than Brady given what
they actually had. So much more accurate than Brady, so
much more accurate. And look, I will grant you that
Brady didn't have a lot of guys running open. Okay,
Brady doesn't have his arm strength, he doesn't have his Rogers,
not what he was athletically, but he's so much more
athletic in terms of moving him around. You know, it

(01:14:36):
just changes the dynamic of what you can do. And
he can throw guys open, but he doesn't throw guys
open as much anymore. So I'm gonna disagree. I look,
I do, I think he's do. I think he stinks
like terrible. No, but he wasn't. He wasn't a top ten,
top fifteen quarterback. Did he have some things working against him?
He did? He did. Um, he had guys that you know,

(01:15:01):
and Nick kill Harry was just not ready for it,
just not ready for that level. Wasn't healthy and then
mentally emotionally wasn't ready, wasn't in the right place. It's
a very demanding system. No. Um. But I would also
say that Brady at times was was suddenly inaccurate where
he had you know, underneath stuff and short stuff, midrange stuff.

(01:15:21):
He was always phenomenal beforehand. Uh make your year. You

his take on Aaron Rodgers the Packers, How far Away
are they? Is Pat Mahomes the best we've ever seen?
Do this right? You're talking about two years to the starter,

on the basis of his arm. Get to that discussion

on Fox Sport Trade alongside Jonas knocks Hill Jonas in
a moment of course. He works for the NFL network,
playing in the NFL UH Covers It breaks it down,
Move the Sticks is the podcast that he's on. I'll
give you kind of my my quick take on on
both games. Um I I do think that the flaw

(01:16:47):
in how Tennessee was playing, and I know you may say, well,
San Francisco, same thing. You know, Tennessee playing as if
they're hiding something. San Francisco playing as if this is
their strength. A little bit different. But you get up
ten points and you're gonna have to keep scoring because
Kansas City is gonna keep getting after you. And the

(01:17:10):
one I like correlating styles of offense and defense congruent
styles if you will, right, For example, the um the
San Francisco forty Niners have an amazing pass rush, right,
an amazing pass rush. So do the really maybe more

(01:17:32):
of the Green Bay Packers are designed to get a lead,
and then their defensive ends are pass rushers. They're not
run stoppers. When they've been beaten, they've been beaten by
a team that locks in, loads up, runs the football,
gets ahead, and they gotta come back. They're designed to
play from ahead. The Titans, though they've been successful shortening

(01:17:53):
the game, they don't really have a pass rush like
that's a big weakness for them. And so when you
get a ten point lead, that's when you should be
able to pin your ears back and get after Mahomes.
Now Mahomes is not easy to get after. He gets
rid of it quick. He's got a crazy arm. They
have unbelievable uh skill set of wide receivers. They're great
in the screen game. He's athletic. He can make you
miss as well. But they don't necessarily have the congruent

(01:18:17):
style of offense that grinds you gets a lead ten
point lead twice in the game, and the defense that
gets after the pastor because that's what you're gonna do.
There's just limitations to how they play, and that got
exposed in Kansas City. UM. I didn't think that Aaron
Rodgers played well in the first half. I thought that
entire team looked out of whack, out of sink, from

(01:18:40):
the interception to the fumble that he didn't jump on,
uh to just kind of being discombobulated. By the time
they got it together, it was such a big hill
to climb that they needed one stop defensively, just one,
and they could not get one. By then the defense
was worn down. George Kittle had a catch and then
forced a defensive past interferences. I thought was a bad call,

(01:19:02):
but regardless, one call doesn't lose your game like that.
That was an ass whipping of epic proportion to line
of scrimmage by Kyle Shanahan's offense, offensive lineman, skill position players,
and the Green Bay Packers and Mike Petton's defense. But
it it got a little tight there with eight and
a half to go, a little tight. I also agree

(01:19:23):
with Aaron Rodgers at their window is not closed. Young
wide receiving crew, first time coach, first year with that coach,
second year with the GM, and Aaron Rodgers still has
plenty of gas in the tank. Let's welcome in Bucky
Brooks here him every Saturday here on Fox Sports Radio,
NFL analysts for for the NFL Network as well. Bucky,

(01:19:45):
Let's let's start with the Niners and the Packers. What
are your thoughts on the overall performance of Aaron Rodgers.
I look, I think what we have to get accustomed
to thinking is that Aaron Rodgers will not be what
we've seen him in the past. I think this year
was probably the beginning of a dissent if you look

(01:20:05):
at the way that he's played the last two years.
Injuries has played a part in it, but completion percentage
and passer rating has gone out every year. And I
think last night that we needed him to have a
magical epic performance and he couldn't deliver. He's just off
a little bit. And sometimes you see this when quarterbacks
get older. He's just not necessarily the guy that can

(01:20:26):
do it for a four quarter stretch to play at
that exceedingly high level that he played that in the
Facts guest on the Dug Gottlib Show, Why couldn't they
stop San Francisco One? San Francisco is running game is
really good. It taxes you in so many different ways.
They do a great job of using a combination of
different blocking schemes to really attack your weaknesses. And then

(01:20:49):
what Kyle Shanahan is a master of doing. He is
a master of finding out what your weaknesses and he
will continue to run the same place until you stop it.
And at no point did the green Bay Packers ever
stopped the forty, so he saw no need to go
to another part of the game plan. To me, the
simplicity and that approach is genius and I think it

(01:21:12):
led them to a dominant performance. Yeah, it was. It
was really amazing to watch them. Uh, why why couldn't
green Bay adjust? Like, why couldn't that? What are they
doing to not allow green Bay to set the edge?
You know? So what's crazy? Is one. You saw a
complete buy in from the forty Niners. All of their
guys on the edge block the wide receivers they're tied
in did a great job of giving the effort to

(01:21:33):
make sure they've blocked and got on their guys. Secondly,
the scheme is such where it's his own scheme, meaning
that all those alignment are basically elephants on parade. They're
all running in unison. And then what you do is
you handed to a back who was a one cut
runner is given a rule that I can make one
cut and go and my job is to give four yards.

(01:21:53):
And it's really a perfect storm because if you don't
get penetration on them early, their running backs are getting
into the the secondary before they get in touch. And
the San Francisco for the Nines were just on their game.
But it shouldn't have been a surprise to anyone who
has seen the Green Bay Packers played defense because they
have struggled at times against the run. Thet we're just

(01:22:14):
committed to it and they ran it down their throw. Yeah,
it was really really amazing. Okay, let's go to the
Kansa City Chiefs, you know with the old adagies you
play with fire, you get burned. But they played with
fire and two playoff games gotten down big and and
haven't been burned. Why are they different from the cliche
playoff team, especially the cliche Kansas City Chief playoff team
that gets down big and then panics. Okay, so in

(01:22:38):
basketball churches, they're kind of like the go to State Warriors.
Their spurred ability is unlike anything that we've seen. When
they get hot, they score points and bunches, and it's
hard for a team that is a little more pedestional
on the offense to keep up with them. Patrick Mahomes
is magical, and because he's so magical, not only as
a thrower but as a selective runner, he really puts

(01:23:00):
the defense in a by The Tennessee Titans decided that
they wanted the double team Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelsey
and take away the big play. But what they didn't
count on is Patrick Mahomes being increasingly willing to use
his legs to pick up first yard, first down yard.
And so when they're only bringing three and they're dropping
it in the double team and everybody but the quarterback runs,

(01:23:22):
you just don't have enough defenders to stop everything. They
just have an offense that really challenges you in terms
of how you want to play them. Yeah, eleven and
eleven football is very difficult, very very very difficult. Um,
Doug gotlip show here on Fox Sports Radio. Is that
the ceiling with Tannehill? I mean, like look to a
point and I think, look, the Tennessee Titans can win

(01:23:44):
a lot of games playing the way that they played.
They are the classic team that they wait for you
to beat yourself. They're solid, they don't have a lot
of penalties, they don't turn the ball over. Uh, they
grind it out, shorten the game, and they're willing to
think that you will make mess ups, but for they do.
And in this game, they had the game the right way.
They just couldn't contain Patrick Mahomes and that offense. And

(01:24:08):
even though they had the game on their terms, eventually
the offense from Kansas City wore them down and they
were able to seize control the game. And that was different.
But with Kenny Hill, Kenny Hill can be good, but
he is a guy that needs everything around him to
be great. He's not necessarily the guy that can kind
of carry the squad. What do you think of the
matchup Kansas City versus s Fan Francisco Man. It's a

(01:24:29):
great matchup. It's a difficult matchup for both teams for
different reasons. It's difficult for Kansas City because the running
game from the forty nine is will really test you.
It will test your discipline, your detail, your gap integrity,
and so if you're not on your game, they were
running down your throat and they've shown a commitment to run.
This is a team to finish in the top five
and Russian, so they will run it. So that's the challenge.

(01:24:51):
The challenge for the forty nine is is how do
you defend Pat Mahomes and the speed that they have
on the outside. Everyone is going to talk about the
pass rush and Joey Bosa and d Ford and the
Forrest Buckner, But the one thing that Kansas City enjoyed
over the forty niners the speed on the perimeter. It's
a slow secondary, but they haven't been able to be
challenged because the pass rush has been so good. If

(01:25:14):
Kansas City is able to protect him, if they're able
to tire out the front line, they can have a
chance to attack a secondary that doesn't necessarily have the
most speed that we've seen. That would be the advantage.
I think for Kansas City to win, they gotta play fast.
You should see them play with more tempo. You also
should see them run the defense from side to side,

(01:25:35):
bubble screens, screens, perimeter run, tire them out early and
hope that you can knock them out in the fourth quarter.
I mean, look, if you look at the second half yesterday,
I know they had just such a big lead, it
didn't matter, but there was no pressure on Aaron Rodgers
in the second half. It did seem like that defensive
front got tired. Yeah, the defensive run did get tired
because it's hard to pass for us over the course
of a fourth quarter game. I think Kansas City can

(01:25:57):
up the tempo, play with more pace. Tie are those
guys out, and then what you're dealing with is Pat
Mahomes without a pass for us. That then kicks the
advantage of the Canti the Chiefs. It'd be a fascinating
game to watch, and it'd be interesting to see if
Cal Shanahan plays a little defense with his offense, if
he runs it and slows the tempo down a little

(01:26:17):
bit to keep Pat Mahomes on the sideline. Pat Mahomes
how good man. He is so good. He's real good.
And I know people don't want to think about this,
but I think the reason Kency was so fascinated with him,
with Andy Reid and John Dorsey, he is every bit
as close to Brett Farr during his prime. I'm talking
about Brett Farve in the mid nineties seven we want

(01:26:39):
three m v P. He's Brett Fark plus. He has
the magic with even a little more athleticism, and his
poys for being a twenty four year old is un common.
You just so see a guy who was a gun
slinger still take care of the ball to the level
that he does. I mean, he's a phenomenal player. Did
do we learn anything about Jimmy G. No, we we
haven't learned. Did you think about Jimmy G. I think, like, look,

(01:27:02):
Jimmy G is a is a good quarterback, a very
good quarterback. I don't know if he's like that Pat Mahomes,
that Deshaun Watson type, but he doesn't have to be.
The San Francisco forty Niners are a complete team. And
because they can run it, they can throw it off
play action when they want to. And because he has
shown the ability that close games out in two minutes.
He's all their needs. I think it's a credit to

(01:27:23):
him and to cal Shanahan that they don't feel the
need to show us that they can pass that in
the game, with everything on the line, they only a passes.
To me, that is the ultimate ego check at the door. Look.
I can appreciate it because they won the game. That's
the voice of Bucky Brooks moved the sticks? Is the
podcast t him out on the NFL network? Uh? Bucky?

(01:27:44):
A couple of things. What's you if you were to
advise Tom Brady, what would you advise him to do? Man,
the best thing for Tom Brady would be to stay
in New England. I think if you go outside of
the family, I don't know if everyone else can protect
the meaning they don't have a system in place, the
place where strengths. They don't really know the enhanced strengths
and weaknesses of his game at this age. I would

(01:28:05):
tell him either playing New England or don't play elsewhere.
I don't know if anyone else knows him as well
as the Patriots coaching staff knows him. Philip Rivers moves
the family to Florida, his contract is up. Where is
if he's going to keep playing. He says he wants
to keep playing. He going to TV as well. If
he's gonna keep playing, where's the best fit? I think

(01:28:26):
anyan absence is the best fit. The reason it's the
best fit Frank Wright has coached him before as his
office of coordinator, kind of understands where he is. He
can speak the language. He may be able to corral
Philip Rivers and courage some of the turnovers. I think
that's the best fit. And they're also looking for maybe
a short term solution at the quarterback position, someone that's
a little better, uh than Jacogan just said. Philip Rivers

(01:28:48):
could be that. Outside of that, I don't know what
other situation will be able to be prime for Philip Rivers.
He's so immobile, and then he's always been a bad athlete.
Now he's an old bad athlete. That's a that's a
hard that's a hard one. No, I mean he's not,
he's not. He doesn't. He's not like all these other
guys played basketball, you know, like all these other you know,
Drew lacks a athlete. You know, Garoppolo is an athlete.

(01:29:10):
Mahomes an athlete. You know, maybe they're not all Lamar Jackson,
but they're all you gotta be athletic as a position.
Tom Brady obviously limited, but he's more athletic in the pocket.
Like Philip Rivers was a bad athlete, think tours a
c L Now he's in his late thirties, Like, he can't.
They can't run screen game with him because he can't move. Yeah,
they can't. They can't do much of anything. He's very relimited,
so he puts a lot of pressure on. You have

(01:29:31):
a fortress along the offensive line, and so look they
end up his coat and have a solid offensive line.
They had the ability to run the ball. I think
that is what Philip Rivers needs at this stage of
his career. He also needs to play for a coach
that had the ability to communicate with him to curb
the turnovers because the Turtles were the biggest thing. He
can't be careless with the football because the turnovers ultimately

(01:29:54):
with the Tide games, and he had too many turnovers
from the charge of this season, no question about it.
Bucky Brooks, Bucky right, stuff man, look forward to talking
to me in the very near future. That's Bucky Brooks.

Dedea is gonna join us in by five minutes or
so okay, NFL Network native of Kansas City talking about

(01:31:00):
eradicating the demons of Chiefs failures in the past. So um,
you know what's interesting is when Alex Smith was in
Kansas City, it was a really good team won the division.
Good offense. Remember they did it without throwing the ball
to a wide receiver. Remember then they went some crazy

(01:31:22):
number of games without throwing a touchdown pass to a
wide receiver when Duane bow was their best. What a
terrible sign of that guy was. But part of it
was that Alex Smith wouldn't throw the ball downfield. Check down, Charlie.
Alex Smith in Andy Reid's offense with Dwayne Bow is
his best wide receiver is a little bit like a

(01:31:43):
lot of these eight years. Pat Mahomes is basically very
bonds on steroids and Alex Smith is mm hmmm mm hmm.
I need a guy who used steroids, but not to
great acclaim right where you're like, that's it, that's all
he did. Remember d Gordon use steroids, right Gordon? Like

(01:32:06):
liked Gordon? Yeah, without steroids. D Gordon is not in
the league with steroids, like he was pretty good, Like
I think he might have even been an All Star.
Check that one out with the Marlins, remember yeah, anyway,
yeah two time. I'll start in fourteen, fifteen, and then

(01:32:26):
when you test out positive steroids sixteen I think sixteen
was it sixteen? He got yeah, yeah, yeah, So here's
what happened. Dee Gordon's barely in the league, Right, that's
Flash Cordon. Is he Flash Gordon's son? Who? I don't
know how good Flash Gordon is. I only know that
he was never good enough because I have his rookie

(01:32:49):
rated Don Russ card, like I like a hundred of
him and just to hope I was betting, not like
he's got to be the guy. He was a good
player anyway. Dee Gordon without steroids is like barely the
league with steroids is an all star. Right. That was
Alex Smith. Alex Smith before he had a hardball, great
offensive coach, unbelievable skill position players around him, crab Tree

(01:33:12):
in his prime, etcetera, etcetera. They went to the NFC
Championship game without a hardball, he struggled, goes to Kansas
City after getting beat out by Kaepernick. Right, and he's
a good, solid playoff quarterback, really good, just solid check
down Charlie Okay. So that's d Gordon on steroids. Barry

(01:33:35):
Bonds on steroids is the best player we've ever seen.
You take the baseball, I Q great vision, timing, confidence,
He's already h how many time MVP was he before this?
Three time m VP? I think there's three time MVP
before he used steroids. Then load him up full of

(01:33:57):
you know, horse steroids, and all of a sudden, he's
the greatest hitter we've ever seen. Even late in his career,
we were doing things. He was hitting home runs at
a rate that no one had ever seen before, and
barring steroids coming into baseball, back into baseball, no one
will ever see again. That's how good he was. Pat

(01:34:18):
Mahomes is not on steroids. Okay, I'm saying that you
add Pat Mahomes to any Reid, to Tyreek Hill, to
Travis Kelsey, Sammy Watkins, a good offensive line. Um, what's
that guy's name, Micole Hardman. Right, you got speed, you
got a tight end. You've got a big wide receiver

(01:34:39):
with a wide a huge catch radius like Sammy Watkins.
Like you got it all, and it's like bonds on steroids.
He's good. Pata Hopes is gonna be a good quarterback regardless.
Put him in that system with that skill position group,
no leaders safe. Right, You're like, you can't get behind

(01:35:00):
in the playoffs really, really, really really anyway. So that
there's the there's the correlation. You put a you put
a good player in that system and he's an All Star.
You put a great player in that system with US

(01:35:21):
wide receivers, and he's the best we've ever seen. Be
sure to catch the live edition of The Doug Gottlieb
Show weekdays at three pm Easter noon Pacific on Fox
Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio ah app Doug
Olive Show Fox Sports Radio. Jeffid is a calumnist for
NFL dot Com. You can watch him on the NFL
Network and of course for people who know Jeff no,

(01:35:42):
he's a native of the Kansas City area, so he
knows he knows the Chiefs oh so well, and their
fan base so well. Jeff, how meaningful was yesterday's win? Well,
it was surreal, Doug. And you know you sit there
and you go scoot Bowls and you watch championship games,
and you know that two teams are gonna move on.
But to live in the same city with a chief resign,

(01:36:04):
to see what it means with this fan base, you know,
it's been more than fifty years or quick fifty years,
but even more so, it's a lot of frustration on
a bad quarterback play, a lot of heartbreaking playoff losses
in that run there in that Droute so you know
what it meant to the fans, and to see them
celebrate the way they did last night, this morning, this afternoon,
it's just been pretty tremendous. Yeah, I know, it's it's

(01:36:24):
it's really remarkable. Maybe more remarkable is um is what
you have at quarterback just because of what you used
to have, right, Like I think people need to it's
not just Alex Smith. Alex Smith was really conservative. And
then you go back to the Marty Schottenheimer era and
Marty Ball was super super conservative. Right now, you have
a guy who I described him as Barry Bonds, you know,

(01:36:46):
Barry Bonds like in that you know, Barry Bonds on
steroids is just a different guy than you know, like
a Sammy Sosa on steroids or a de Gordon on steroids.
Right you you give him, you give him this offense,
that coaching staff, that offensive line, Tyreek hill Um, Travis
Kelsey and the rest of them, and he you're not
supposed to be able to come from behind in the playoffs,

(01:37:07):
let alone twice in a row. And they make up
leads just like that. And especially the juxtaposition of Mahomes
style to Alex Smith style is really really like polar opposites, yes,
and this town and dying to have that kind of
quarterback because you asked people who who grew up here.
I didn't grew up here. I'm a Lions fan, so
you can imagine what that's like. It's pretty painful as well.

(01:37:28):
But to be a Chiefs fan and watch the quarterback
play that Elvis Kirbacks, the Bill Kenny's, uh, Steve Fuller's,
all those guys who couldn't get it done. And you
know alx was a good quarterback for this team. But
this team, this this fan base had long felt that
the reason they weren't winning championships back in the nineties
and Marty Schottenheim rooms here because they didn't have a
Dan Marino. They didn't have a John Elway. He didn't

(01:37:48):
have a Joe Montana, but they had him for like
a couple of years the in Montana. So to have
a kid who's twenty four years old, who is you
know he is? He is transcendent. And you talk about
Barry Bonds, I look at like like Lebron, James, Michael Jordan's,
Steph Curry are after in the one because the talents there,
the humility is there. His numbers weren't the same as
last year. But I do agree with that he's become

(01:38:09):
a better leader. Um, he's learned how to win. He's
become more patient and when he has a score points,
Yes he can score points. Jeff, do you join us
in the Doug Gotlip Show on Fox Sports Radio? So
is that it is the is the is the good?
I mean, how many playoff games you lose at home?
And yet there isn't the same dread that goes through
Kana City chiefs, fans minds. Is that it have they

(01:38:31):
eradicated all the demons of the past, that they put
the switch from we're never going to win, where cursed
we can't find a quarterback to We're gonna be the
next dynasty. We're gonna win ten super Bowls in a row.
This is gonna be the next Bill Belset Tom Brady
connection with Mahomes and Andrew reading. And I understand the
excitement because he's amazing to watch. It's it's so rare

(01:38:53):
in today's world where you see a kid come in
with his kind of talent, his kind of determination, his
kind of drying, his kind of humility, and and I
can't say that enough This guy is a high character,
team oriented dude. And you know, I'm out that Cam
Newton fan. I like Cam Blakes, but Cam new is
almost like an icon, like a supermodel. Like he's just

(01:39:15):
so hard to relate to, Um in today's world. You know,
if if you're not around him every day, the way
Um Patrick carries himself, Um, the way he bombed with
his teammates, it's he's he's a star, but he understands
that it's such about being a star. It's about, you know,
being able to be a leader and being able to
engage with your teammates as well. Jeff Dido joining us
on the Doug Gotlief Show on Fox Sports Radio. Here

(01:39:36):
come the Niners and they run the football, And yes,
Tennessee ran the ball, but not with the same diversity,
not with the same ferocity, Um, not not the way
that San Francisco does. And San Francisco has I think
a better pass rush. That's you know that's gonna get
after him. Um. In terms of matchup, what do you
think of the Niners as opposed to what the Titans

(01:39:57):
brought to the table. Well, for what I've seen, and
I've watched a lot of Patrick over the last couple
of years and watched a lot of Niners games this year,
and I'm a big fan of John Lynch and know
him for a long time. And then Kyle Shanahan, the
older one. You can really give Patrick Myhomes problems is
you have a pass for us that can get home
with four four defenders, you don't have to bliss as much,
and you have a pass coverage that it's kind of

(01:40:21):
like that Seattle zone zone three cover three. Look. Uh,
you look at the Chargers when they played against the Chiefs.
They've given them problems and every time they played they
really controlled my Homes. And think the last time he
played them, he had less than two yards passing because
they forced him to be patient, They forced him to
not go after the big play, and they rely on
Joey bos said, mom anglem to get home up front.
H The Niners are a very similar way. You know,

(01:40:44):
with all those pass worshers up front, they can cause
some problems. But again, the way Patrick Mahomes is playing,
he's got a determination about him and he's got so
he's got more maturity. Now it's gonna be a great matchup. Jeff,
did you joining us on the Doug Gotlip Show on
Fox Sports Radio. Did you see Joe Montana's tweet? I
did not. Joe Montana say he has he has some

(01:41:05):
framed jersey from playing with both teams, and he's like,
my team will win the Super Bowl. Yeah. Well, you
know what's funny is that I was on NFL Network
last year the hole was really taken off. He went
to the season, and everybody was comparing him to Brett
Farve at the start of the year when he came in.
When he came into the league and started the year
because of the way he a big arm and the

(01:41:27):
reckless style of play. He reminds me a lot of
Joe Montana and the way he plays. And I said
it back then, and sometimes it's not meant to people
the race card here, but sometimes when you're black quarterback,
people talk so much about your athletic ability and your
arm strength and your running skills. And his mind is
a beautiful mind. His decision making is as good as
Tom Brady's at the height of his game. He has

(01:41:50):
learned how to play quarterback in a way more surreful
way than people get some credit for. And that's why
I say I can see immediately being Joe Montana because
he impacts the game in the sat way Montana did
back in the day, said's it's a it's a great
it's a great point. He he is an amazing talent.
He's gonna get paid in this offseason, the likes of
which we haven't seen ever before. Right, Um, but we
know how this works. When a guy gets paid, something

(01:42:12):
has to give, even if the salary cap goes up.
What's the hardest part of this team to hang onto
once he gets paid. Well, you're already gonna see Sammy
Watkins leave. Um, we know that. You know, given the
contract he has, he's probably the likeliest bet. He's got
one year left, so he's gonna have one less accomplished
receiver there. You have to hope that mc cool Hartman.
I think the next step at receiver DeMarcus Robinson, another

(01:42:34):
receiver of big and he'll start losing players around him
because I think the expectation is that as he gets older,
he's gonna have to do what Russell Wilson is doing,
what Aaron Rodgerson has been doing, what you Breez does,
which is win with lesser receivers. You need to be
able to be a quarterback who makes receivers better, doesn't
rely on receivers to make you better. They're going to
put that defense up, but ultimately it comes back to Mahomet.

(01:42:57):
Sustain his greatness and build upon that as he goes
forward his lesser players and they can kind of continue
to have a good defense around him. They definitely improved
a method of the football this year. Jeff tod I
would I would encourage you to go to NFL dot
com and read his latest piece on everything that goes
into the Chief's overcoming heartbreak and winning yesterday and going

(01:43:20):
back finally to the Super Bowl. Jeff, great stuff, awesome perspective.
We appreciate you joining us on Fox Sport TRADEO. Thanks
so much any time. All Right, that's Jeff da who
of course lived in and it lives in the Kansas
City area. Uh, you know, wrote locally and of course
has been a national writer at ESPN, now the NFL
Network and NFL dot Com. Mahomes is awesome. I thought,

(01:43:45):
I thought I summed it up really well when I
said last week, Mahomes is the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth. And maybe the Titans can't
handle the truth. Oh see what he did there? You
did there? Yeah? Rhyme music if you're Mahomes and he was, hey, yeah,

(01:44:07):
I don't think you wouldn't take much less. But essentially
he's the type of person that ownership could do, you know,
blank check type of stuff for, but instead there's no
amount of money, no amount of money that you can
pay Pat Mahomes where people are gonna go like, I
don't see it, right, right, this is not this is

(01:44:28):
this is not like, uh, what's his name with the
ram Jared Goff, Jared Goff. You're like, yeah, I don't,
I know, it felt like a bit much. Yeah, it
feels like a lot much, right, But if you said,
like Pat ma Homes signed for a hundred million dollars,
you're like, okay, right, I'm okay with that, you know,
like they'll figure it out. So because he was already

(01:44:52):
a first round draft pick, so he got decent money. Now,
he wasn't that he's gonna make a bunch of money
off the field, right, Well, he already is. I mean
you see a lot of the state from commercials. I
mean he's already had a whole thing because he had
that m v P campaign last year, so he's already
had his rise to stardom. He's continued to grow that baby.
Instead of forty five or forty seven million dollars, you

(01:45:16):
do the forty to forty one million per year type
of thing, and maybe it helps you. See, I don't
think it's in terms of the number. I think what
you gotta do is you gotta go like, hey, let's
work out the timing of when you get it. You know,
do they have I don't know how much money they
have under the cap, but they can sign the deal
so he gets some this year, you know, and then
because before March one, he gets this year, then how

(01:45:38):
much you getting next year? And how does it work?
And one of the bonuses and you can protect like
I would, just you know, at least Iinberg's his agent.
Lee's Lee was the quarterback guy for a long time.
He's got two of this this upcoming draft. Um. But
I think you just worked with Lee and go like, hey, look,
Lee there, we're gonna pay him a lot of money.

(01:45:59):
Let's just figure out how we do it so that
we can always put a great team around him. And
I'm with you there, And I think a smart guy
would be like yeah, dude, I need God, I need dudes.
Part of what's made me me is having dudes, and
it's really hard to just keep going. And look, they
overpaid Sammy Watkins, so it's not like you have to
pay four team million to get another talented wide receiver.
But if there's a little bit money left in the kiddie,

(01:46:21):
you know, you don't have to turn everybody upside down
and check them for money. There's gonna be another contract,
all right. Speaking of the league, we'll take you around
the leave got really important news from which is still
this year in the NFL that's up coming next. Be

We got some daytime NBA. I'm a s Martin Luther King.
Day is the Hawks in Raptors doing battle in Atlanta

(01:47:04):
and Norman Powell put on quite a show in the
fourth quarter straight away. Now Powell, Powell goes the other
way from an abaka screen leads into a triple from
the north side bust. It ended up with six threes
in the game, twenty seven points for the contest. Raptors
top of the Hawks seventeen despite forty two points in

(01:47:24):
fifteen assists from Trey Young Ye free throws too right. Um, yeah,
I don't have the box right in front of me,
but if you say so, I will take your word
for it. Yeah, yeah, I've got a different box in
front of me. Tells me that Ben Simmons had a
triple double thirty four points, twelve rebounds and twelve assists.

(01:47:45):
Don't have any highlights to play for you. I can
give you one if you want. No, I'm good. Ben
simonths played great. I was watching played unbelievable. Simmons top
of the key Drive Spaceline scores. Ben Simmons has got

and Simmons stores his twenty second point of the game,
and he just flipped off the entire TV garden. No,
I'm kidding, I'm kidding. The Sixers are on the news

Today is the twentieth of January two thousand twenty. My
dad would have been eighty years old today. My dad
was a lifelong Giants fan who became a Bill Parcels fan, right.
He actually like, I'm a Jet fan because they have
parcelsman cowboy fan because they have Parcels. And I always

(01:53:13):
think about the things that he taught me and um
and I try and put him into modern day life, right.
And he was big on the fundamentals of of sports,
of basketball specifically, And I do think that one thing
that has lost on the San Francisco for the Niners

(01:53:34):
dominance yesterday over the Green Bay Packers is how fundamentally
sound they played. It wasn't just a blocking, it was
the tackling. Go back and look count the miss Tackleston
Packers count the miss tackles and the Niners almost non existent.
From the Niners, they weren't penalized until the fourth quarter,
no penalties, no miss tackles, always on their assignment. And
they were better in the kick game better, and kick

(01:53:55):
coverage better, and kick return The fundamentals are the fundamentals,
so old coaches will tell you that. Anyway, My dad
would have been eighty and I like to tell stories
about him. I'll check out our our newly revamped Facebook page.
I'll tell you another story about him. Chris Simms will
join us tomorrow. Congratulations the fans of the Kansas City Chiefs, congratulations,
