Jaguars Happy Hour: Wednesday, February 3

of the taping of this podcast. Some senior Bowl standouts. Both you guys are in Mobile but now, Bucky, you were in l A. But we'll cover that in just a moment. The quarterback off season carousel has already started around the league and Super Bowl is Here is Super Bowl Week and the Chiefs are joining the COVID list

because of haircuts. But get into that coming up, all right, guys, Urban meyern I wanted an elite staff and their names popping out now reported names again, nothing official until the team announces it. But the reporters are Daryl bevil Is the offensive coordinator, Brian Schottenheimer the passing game coordinator, and quarterbacks. Coach. Let's start there on offense, guys. This is where the focus will be in the off season because of the

quarterback situation, Bucky. So these really have to be right now. They do have to be right. I think what's interesting, um when you bring on Daryl Bebo, and I think it's important to lump and Brian's Schottenheimer. I think it's important for Jaguars fan to understand that both of these

coordinators have had success working with young quarterbacks. If you go back and look at Daryl Belbo obviously in Seattle with Russell Wilson and how this team, that team was able to get to the Super Bowl with a young quarterback who was playing more as a game manager early who evolved into being a playmaker later in his career. If you go to the Jets, this name is going to make maybe some guys cringe. But Brian Schottenheimer was

on that stuff. I think when they had Mark Sanchez and what they did with Mark Sanchez when they went to a couple of ANFC championship games and those things. And so to me, what his signals is that Urban has a plan for how they're going to play early. I think it's gonna be a run heavy team that plays physically, and they're gonna try and teach the quarterback to make sure they take care of the football. But if you do those things, you can win a lot

of games. JP. You can cringe all you want at the name Mark Sanchez, but you know I covered Colts teams uh when Sanchez was young that lost to Mark Sanchez and the Jets when he was I don't know if he was playing at a high level, but they were winning with it, so clearly Schottenheimer knows what he's doing on that front. I thought it was interesting the mix, meaning, you know, they can all do everything, but Bevil is a little bit more known for being a run guy,

Schottenheimer more for being a past guy. A good balance there. It certainly sounds like Schottenheimer will be, you know, quarterback coach slash passing game coordinator. Doesn't sound like they're hiring a true quarterbacks coach. Schottenheimer is a guy. He's been around the league long enough where he's certainly deserves more of a title than straight quarterbacks coach if you're going

to play that. I don't know that they care that much about titles, but it's you know, all of the concern when Urban was first hired was the whole college coach, college coach college. Well, this is an experienced staff now, you know. I assume that he will be listening and telling these guys, hey, tell me what I don't know. You guys are the NFL guys. He's got a lot of NFL experience to tell him what he doesn't know.

You have a bunch of low ego guys. I can say this about having known Bryan since he was younger. Obviously I played for his dad, Marty in Kansas City. He understands what winning looks like. And I think when you go all the way back and you put it all together, all of these coaches have come from winning programs and they went at a high level. I would say Revel and Shotenheimer probably exposed their most winning in Seattle.

But they understand what it looks like. And I think as Urban is kind of kind of filling his way around the NFL game, they certainly can help him in that regard. But I don't think you can underestimate the amount of experience that they're going to have on that side of the ball, and also in that quarterback room. I think for a young quarterback who is bright or whatever, I think they will help him transition very very quickly

to being able to play it right away. They've also got guys JP who have worked with each other and Bucky, you may no more detail about this than I do, but correct me if I'm wrong. Bevil Schottenheimer, wide receivers, coach have been together, They've been on staffs bare minimum. They know each other. How important is that sort of knowledge, Bucky, when you're trying to put together a staff. Oh, I think I think it's very important because you want to

make sure that everyone is speaking the same language. I think the one thing that is really clear, especially if you have a young team, because remember the Jacks are very very young, you don't want mixed messages in different position rooms. You don't want one person saying one thing and we're gonna call it this way, and another person saying something else and it's termed a different way. You

want everyone to be on the same page. And I will give credit um to Urban for putting together a staff where every there there's a level of synergy from everybody. We're talking about the offensive of the ball, but even on defense, there's a level of compatibility and everyone kind

of understands it. I think early on, when you're dealing with young guys, you want the coaches to be able to stand in the front of the the room very confidently and do the teaching so that everybody understand it and you don't have any gray areas or or vagueness to what is being asked and installed. I had one more question for Bucky JP if go yeah, um, you know, we followed teams JP and I followed the league, but most of our studying is about the Jaguars, So I

know Bevil, uh. I don't know personally Schottenheimer. I haven't talked to him since I was covering with the University of Florida when he first transferred there. I did a story on it, which makes me old and you know, frankly him old too. But define what Bevil's gonna bring in terms of everybody associates him with Seahawks offense, you know, but what would you say that he's bringing to the table that Urban loves. You know, here's the thing, like

now everything is so blended. I would say both of these guys no West Coast offense and some way shape or form, they've kind of moved away from that. If they as they've gotten more experienced in the National Football League, they know the running game and they understand how to marry the run game, but the past game, which is very very important because for the defense you want it

all to look alike. I think their experienced with young quarterbacks, they understand how to take some of the pressure off of the quarterback in terms of how they call the game.

The thing that would be interesting as we get closer to it if we ever get privy to the play calls in the verbage In the past, I know Schottenheimer and Beba like their play calls could be very verbose, and you just wonder have they evolved to the point where they've been able to cut some of that down so guys can play fast and free without having to learn all of the extra stuff that each and every term signifies when you use it in a play call.

Gruden with hopefully, hopefully not hopefully they learn how to scale it back, because the key to getting the young guys to play fast is so they can just understand it, they can get it and they can go and with so many young players, it's different when you have a veteran skills that skill set of players, or a veteran offensive line, and in a young quarterback, that's one thing, but everybody's young, like they all the babies and newbies, So you just want to make sure that everyone can

understand it so they can have to ground running when they do take take the field. All right, let's look to the defensive side now. Joe Cullen is reportedly the defensive coordinator and a former defensive line coach here in Jacksonville's last year was my first season here, John, I think your second season back here. You can hear him a mile away. He's got a distinctive approach and voice, and he's been a d line coach ever since then.

Before then obviously in the NFL, this is his first go around as a coordinator, and John, it's good to see him back around in this environment and I'm curious how that will translate to the front of the defensive room for the first time. John, Well, it's you know, I have no doubt and I'm not in I'm not in meetings every No, I didn't play the game, but if if you're around coaches, you get a feel for guys who are going to be comfortable in front of

the room. Look, the only reason Joe Colin hasn't been a coordinator already is the off field stuff, which everybody who follows this note He's more than qualified. This chance to be a coordinator is long overdue for him. I have no doubt that he can get in the room. You know, I know from football people that I talked to, from guys who can watch tape and study x AS and knows he is in an above good, elite pass rushing coach. What I care about with the coach are

his guys going to respond to him? Are they going to buy in? If you've met Joe Colin once, you know players are gonna love playing for him, Absolutely love playing for him. But it's not like he's soft on him JP. This is a guy who was built to be a coach. He can be tough on guys. Players love him. Players are fiercely loyal to this man. I have no doubt he can coach pass rush. He's gonna have his eye on that part of it. But to me, you know, I would be stunned if Joe Colin is

not a high end level defensive coordinator. This guy was born for this job, and it's overdue, not John. I think John brings up great points in terms of the de leicship ability. Coming from Baltimore. They're going to have all the tricks and gadgets up front to really be able to attack, pass protection, stop to run, and do those things. I think everyone who has come out of that Baltimore system understands how to really tricked the offense

against the run and the past. The most important person on this defensive staff will be whoever is responsible for the secondary. I know it's been reported that Chris ash may come. Typically defensive coordinators come from either linebacker spots or secondary spots because they look at the game from back to front. And because the NFL is a pass heavy game, you have to be able to make sure

that you have coverage. And so because um as John alluded to, he Joe come is gonna be so focused on the front, someone has to make sure that they're able to tie in the back in the coverage to fit what his imagination is dreaming up for what they

want to do with the front seven. And so the secondary coach, if they hire an additional cornerbacks coach, they have to be great teachers, and they also have to be great tacticians because they have to sit in the room when the coaches are getting together and make sure that it all marries and that it sound because you know, the play calls on the other side of the field

are also great when it comes to the X and os. Yeah, and that's the other trick to once they get into the personnel side of this thing, it's not like there's a lot of experience back there that's going to be back. I mean, Henderson's in the second year, he didn't play much. Who knows about d J. Hayden the safeties, uh what, they had eleven different lineups in the secondary last year. Well, you know that's you know, know what's gonna be out

there to work with. No, that's that's that That's why it's going to be really really interesting because when urban Meyer was at Ohio State, and I know the game isn't the same in terms of college to the pro, but one of the things that they wanted to do is they evolved from being a team that played man to man all the time where they're playing like quarters cover four will He talked about where your corners are pressed and they're kind of locked up on their guy

and then the safeties are hovering around ninety yards from the box to being more of a cover three team, a vision and break team. Meaning if you can envision what the Indianapolis Coast did where they played zone as on the quarterback, athletic players reacting to the vision of the quarterback and making quick reactions, that's what they evolved to. Which version of coverage and defense will we see with

this young team? In my mind, because they're so young, it has to be something that's fairly easy for them to digest and you can kind of rick it up with your pre snap disguises. What you want the scheme to be very very easy for them to understand so they can play fast. Yeah, I wonder JP and Bucky. You know, I don't know how these guys will look at it, because we really haven't talked to very many people to to know what they think about personnel, and

they're not even into personnel yet. But C. J. Henderson, you would think as a starter beyond that in the secondary, you know. I I'm not saying the guys who were here now can't start, but I don't think there's anybody who's a lot to be a starter in this secondary. Perhaps C. J. Henderson, although he played what six seven games JP, you assume he's a lot because the draft position. You assume he's a lot because of talent. Beyond that, you know, I think all bets are off back there.

So I agree with Bucky whoever is coaching those guys, the ability to mesh what the rest of the defense is doing, but the ability to make sure these guys can play and come in because you're gonna be dealing with But I would assume you would sign at least one guy back there. I'd be surprised if there's not a safety veteran safety sign. But it's all gonna be new. There's that could be any cohesion with this bunch, you

wouldn't think. So it's uh that area. To me, They've got two areas to build a defensive tackle and maybe the entire secondary. Yeah. Now, the good thing in this year's draft, like there are a number of young cornerbacks and stuff that you can find. But in looking I was I was looking up some notes that I had on Chris Ash like I would anticipate you can see a lot of man to man in the back end, some form of it, like we can think about quarters

in those things. Because the Baltimore Ravens did a lot of that um kind of stuff with the players that they had. Marlon Humphrey was pressed up a lot. You would see Marcus Peters playoff, but it was a lot of man to man coverage, and so that means you have to really be committed to getting a level athletes. There are some who would tell you that man to man is probably the easiest thing to teach because it's a cat defense. You've got that cat and wherever he goes,

you follow. So then it's a matter of of of kind of understanding how to handle the pics and those things. The New England pages have done it for years, and they've done it with lesser athletes because that's what they do. They live in it. And so when you think about Urban Miri and those relationships, he may want to put in something that's pretty simple to install, and you just really work on getting better through repetition and trying to bring in a level athletes to play in those respective

positions outside. Is it easier Bucky to quote play fast and man when you're a kid? Um? I think so, And I think it's easy to play fast and man because here's the thing. Um, when you play man the Man, it can take a toll on your legs because every day in practice you're running around, you're chasing the GPS is going to go bananas because you just you're just running a track meet every day. But when you have young,

fresh legs, you can do that. And when you play man the Man, what you do is you eliminate some of the easy throws that we see teams living with, some of the bubble screens, some of the r p O stuff. It takes part away. And so if you can get another player, so you have C. J. Henderson on one side, you're going to get another man to man corner, whether that's a veteran or a young guy.

You put those guys in and normally when you try and play this style, your two best players are your cornerbacks and then you build other nine guys after that. And so that's what Urban did it Ohio State, That's what he did at Florida. It's always worked for him. Of later those big profile things, I think he certainly want to see if you can do that initially in Jacksonville and then if they have to change their change. But I think that's probably the mindset coming into it.

You can get corners this year at thirty three, right, but yeah, you can get corners, and the thing will be, um, do you want long corners, ranging corners? What style corner do you want? But you absolutely can get those guys. I meant three, they're going to have their picks. So it's a good time to do it. And we kind of have to be able to live with some of the growing pains early when you have a bunch of young guys on the field, because they're going to make

their mistakes. But as Irvin said, if I can make it where they're playing, we're letting this effort and they're playing fast. They can't overcome some of their mistakes with their effort. All right, This Jack Bars Happy Hour on a Wednesday. J P. Shadrick, Bucky Brooks, John Osier. By the way, should we keep this named happy Hour? I think this thing aired at eight am, so I don't know. Somewhere somewhere in the world, right, what what shall we

name this? Johnny gotta the ideas well. I'm not very happy, so it's uh. I've always struggled with the name to start with. Um, Yeah, I hadn't thought about it whole. It's uh, it's really an opportunity. I think we should lean on Bucky's expertise. I think we should play something off that name. I mean, he is the guy, he's the star of the show. Star. I don't I don't know. We can't use sticks because that part is brand No.

I kind of I kind of feel like I kind of feel like I kind of feel like we're in a huddle. How about the season behind the Oh no, we don't want to do that. We did it all last year. We did it all last year. We don't want to be behind the change anymore. We don't have to be in a two minutes the entire moving forward.

We're moving forward. Okay, Well, here's all we'll do. We'll throw somebody's out in like a Twitter poll and see what the people think, and then we'll come back next week with a different We've got a few more topics to get to today before we get out of here. Um, Senior Bowl. You guys are both covering the Senior Bowl. John, you were over there, Urban and Trent Bulky we're not

over there, but you're over there. And a lot of Jaguars scouts obviously were involved over there this week Bucky were covering on television from that room you're in right now. I think was a different angle different, right, I mean, how different is that when you're covering it but you're not even there. Uh, it was a lot different. But I will say this JP, I was a lot warmer. I didn't have to worry about out what's the daily

weather report going to be? Like? I just clicked on the light, turned on the monitor, and I was able to watch practice. It looked like it was pretty though, Like the weather looked like it was nice. Um the new stadium that they played in Man nice. That was a nice stadium. So it was cool. I mean, it

was good to see. I'm actually excited that they were able to get it done because I was one of those that I couldn't imagine how they were going to make it happen with all the NFL personnel coming in, all of the players coming from all over the country. But they over there, they were able to do it, and to do it without a hit. She was pretty good. Tell you how they did it. Yeah, And a few thoughts because I come at it from a different angle

when we go to the Steamer Bowl JP. As you know, we are there and we talked to some of the college players, but we're really not watching that event the same way maybe Bucky is. It's why it's so important to have Bucky, you know, involved, was because he's watching players, he's breaking down film, he's watching these guys in the field.

When we're there, we're pursuing Jaguar stories. So most of what I did the Senior Bowls, you know, j P talk to people about the Jaguars, trying to talk to some UH scouts, people who understand the game and can provide that insight. Most years we wind up talking to Bucky over there. You know. So you've been up. I just logged up this podcast insider tip. I just almost logged off, so um. But I can tell you why it worked because the NFL people involved, we're committed to

making it work. And what I mean by that is for fans who've never been there, the Senior Bowl is what I call it garb Fest, meaning you can't walk down the streets of Mobile and not see people in their NFL guarden. And I'm talking from the time you wake up anytime they're not at practice, you're you're seeing on the streets of Mobile. We all know because we've been there. You see them out at night, if you're eating,

you see them hanging out. It is a convention and there's a couple of night spots that I've never been to JP. I think it's a couple of I don't know what you're talking about. Yeah, but you go in there. Most years it is packed. Credit to the NFL, credit to the coaches involved. I was there two nights and it was eerie, guys to see that place. I walked down to the Establishment Beats, which is the most popular place. I went down to the Establishment in in my hotel

and it was vacant. There was not so these guys stayed distanced, they were not tempted. Whatever it was. So I think it was one positive test out of three thousand tests that they gave last week. So the NFL and the people involved did it right. That's how it worked. And uh, the only drawback I would see, and this is purely from you. Guys both know me. If it's good for me, it's good for me. Um. The eve out to the new stadium is a hike. Now, this

is not glad. People's where you sort of go over there and if forced you can get a quick uber. You know you're driving at the South Alabama, which I didn't love, but really, j P, you cannot build an event around my laziness. The Old Shell Road in University is not close to downtown John and the dew Drop is on the way. They have a great cheeseburger by the Lace for next year. But it's a great event.

And I'm with Bucky get his thoughts on this, because we talked a little bit last week Buck after I got back the the theme you heard last week and everybody involved and it turned into almost a cliche, was how important the Senior Bowl is this year because it's the only event. But it really is the only event, and it's a football event, and they were able to

pull it off. I had one analyst tim me last week he would not be surprised if every Senior Bowl play or got drafted this year, and he was probably exaggerating, but the point was there's going to be a familiarity with these guys and and gms who were who were wanting not to make a mistake in this COVID time. They they may lean on guys that they've had their hands on, so to speak. Yeah, I agree with you.

I agree with you, uh, John, because the familiarity being around those guys, seeing those guys on the field, um, it makes it different. Without the combine limited pro days and no access to private workouts. The Senior Bowl was the last time that you saw these guys run on the grass doing football stuff, and so that will weigh that lasting impression will really weigh heavily in the minds of evaluators when they have to make some of these

tough decisions because it's in uneven playing field. Some guys played, other guys didn't. How do you juggle it? Those guys that you were able to see at the Senior Bowl, even those that were coming off COVID opt outs, they will have a bit of an advantage because of the last time that you saw ball and those guys were the ones that are at How much is the fact Buck that yeah, I'm sorry JP interrupted you, but the fact that the scouts weren't out You've scouted, You've been

the frontline guy before. Scouts weren't on campus at all this year? Is that going to change things dramatically? Is there any thoughts on that Yeah, it's gonna it's gonna be a significant deal. Um, because you weren't able to get on campus unless you have like a roller deex of contacts where you can really figure out and piece together the background on all the prospects. It makes it very,

very difficult. And because now more than ever, you need to know exactly who you're bringing into your locker room, understand how they fit the culture that you're attempting to build, Understand how they learn and their coach ability. You really have to have like a wealth of contacts and experience, and this this year will be the year where you see kinds of difference between the have the haves and

the have nots when it comes to the evaluators. If you have a staff will evaluated guys who understand how to look at the tape and project our players can play um versus information gatherers. I think you have a huge advantage because you don't have the opportunity to do some of the other stuff that we've always done to kind of figure it out and to help us get it right at the end. So I got a quick question about scouting, and we've got a couple of other topics.

This is Jaguars Happy Hour. It could be the last day it's called that. We'll get to that a little later. Twitter poll coming up. What what do you gather when you're scouting a football game in the stadium that you don't get when you're sitting at home watching tape? Why? Why is being at a game so important? Well, it's really important when it comes to quarterbacks. That's the most important position that you must scout live. A couple of things when I go scouter quarterback live, I want to

see the arm talent. I want to get a feel for how stronger quarterback's arm is. Can you throw it through inclement conditions? Can you cut through the wind? Is different now in Jacksonville because you know, eight games a year should be fair nice when it comes to the

weather and those things. But if you have to go on the road, if you have to play in Cleveland, if you have to play in New England or Buffalo, is your quarterback does he have enough arm strength to be able to fit it in the Other thing with quarterbacks, you want to see how they interact with coaches and players. Years ago, I forget what bowl game it was, but down in Birmingham, Paxton Lynch. When I went to see him in a bowl game, he said at one end and the rest of the team was all the way

on the other. And he never really talked to the coaches. He didn't really interact with his teammates. And so for the quarterback who was expected to be after the gym and the head coach, he's the most important person on your team. He has to be able to engage. What's his body language like? How does he act after good plays? After bad plays? Does he appear to be communicated with his coaches and teammates? Those things matter for other guys. Is still some of the same stuff. How are they?

Are they into the game? Are they not into the game? Are they alluse with their attitude? But seeing players live, particularly quarterbacks, is really important. In most teams. They won't let you put a final grade in on a quarterback unless you've actually seen him in action. Lock Birmingham Bowl, by the way, Auburn beat Memphis at Legion Field in Birmingham. Probably beat him to sleep too. He did not have He did not have a great day at the office. You did not have a you did not have a

good look. He was he was kind of sucking and pouting. It wasn't a good look. I just remember, I remember writing this is not a good look for passing. Reminder, head coach Urban Meyer is locked in and ready to deliver a championship to Northeast Florida. Don't miss your chance to be at the bank this fall and watch history and the making. Lock in your tickets for the season, placed a deposit down at jaguars dot com Limited Lower

Bowl tickets. Remain if you have questions called nine oh four six three three, two thousand and learn more and let's go Jaguars. Is Jaguars happy our The NFL quarterback carousel has already started to spend, and it's going really fast already. Oh my goodness, the trade, the Rams and the Lions. What in the world, Bucky, and we're only just beginning this thing. Well, I think, JP, what you're seeing is the importance of making sure that you have

a quarterback. Now. Personally, I'm gonna say this is the Pat Mahomes effect. I think what you're seeing is if you're on a team and you're looking at your quarterback and you're trying to envision your quarterback engage in a shoot up with the Kansas City Chiefs. Is your quarterback good enough to knock off Pat Mahomes in the Chiefs And if it's not, you have to think what do we have to do to put ourselves in a position

to knock them off? And unfortunately for us, we're the a f C. So the gatekeeper to the Super Bowl will always be Pat Mahomes in the Kansas City Chiefs. So as you're building out your team and you look at not only Pat Mahomes, but Josh Allen, Mark Jackson, Justin Herbert, so many young quarterbacks that are able to play and play at a high level, you have to

have a quarterback that can do it. In l A and Detroit, I think this is a situation where you have Sean McVeigh who was annointed as the offensive whiz kid. The plays look great the first two years when they were in the league, they were to talk of the town. They revolutionized the way that we were gonna think about offensive football. And then the funny thing happens that happens in the league. The league catches up and then the xs and ohs they didn't pop and come to life

like they used to. And so like most kids, he threw that toy away. He wouldn't open up a new toy and Matthew Stafford and so it's very much like Christmas where you get rid of all the old toys and you're bringing a new one. And so he happened to get a new toy, Matthew Stafford, while the Rams decided that who needs to draft for the next four or five years, We'll just go get all the stars and we'll rock with it. So we'll see how it plays out. This is a it's gonna be a case

study and team building in the next decade. Can you win without draft picks? Well, it's absolutely a case study. And it's a little bit different to Jalen Ramsey trade.

To me, Uh made a little made a little more sense on the Rams part from a long term point of view, because they were trading form I forget how old Jalen was uh at the time, So you were giving up to what they thought would be late round picks, I mean the late first round picks for a player that you know, you pretty much knew what you were getting in Jalen Uh, some of that great JP some of that Yeah, okay, yes, yeah, yeah, you're yeah, it's

a it's a full glass. But so but you knew exactly what you were getting and barring injury, you knew what level he was going to play at. Staffords a little bit different because of age, you know. Uh, I get why they did it, but he's exactly right. You must have a quarterback. And for them, they they believe they're a quarterback away, but a little older, Um, a little less of a knowledge of exactly what you're getting.

I mean, he has played at a high level. Statistically, he's played a high level of times, hasn't gotten the team over the top. So you know, can he do that? Is he that guy? Certainly worth the gamble, had to make the gamble, but not as much of a sure thing as the Ramsey trade quarterback. Of course, Trump saw else in this league. You make moves like this when you feel like you've got a shot at a franchise quarterback. You're you're willing to gamble and give up much more

when it's the quarterback position. Yeah, John, I think it's interesting because, um, this is a team when it comes to the first round picks. And I get this from Charlie Castley. Charlie Cassy says that first round picks hit about rate in terms of guys being a successful and productive starter at the end of four years. And if we even look at our our own experience down in Jacksonville, where we've had a ton of top ten picks, how many of those games, right, so, how many of those

guys actually turned into players? And so it's almost like playing, let's make a deal, like what's behind during number one, two or three? And what do you want? Sometimes it's better to take the players. And I think as we take it back to Jacksonville, I wonder when it comes time to it with Urban, is Urban like one of those who leans towards stars or does he feel like a collection of good players can get you over the top.

That is the difference in the college game, where you have a bunch of five stars, it's easy to hand it off to Ezekiel Elliott and all those guys Michael Thomas and whatever. But if you don't have that, can you play with some two and three stars and have a level of success. I wonder what he will lean towards coming out of that collegiate background. I could see Bucky dressed for let's make a deal and like a beer bear or whatever, like a like a chef for something,

you know, Monty Hall calls on him. Yeah whatever, Wait wait wait Brady, alright, alright, I'm absolutely love it, love it. Alright, final thoughts here, We got three minutes left before Zoom kicks us off. So Super Bowl fifty five right around the corner in Tampa Bay Sunday. The Bucks the first team to play in their home stadium for a Super Bowl, facing the defending champion Chiefs, who can't even get a haircut without COVID knocking guys off at least early in

the week. DeMarcus Robinson and Daniel Kilgore on the list. This week, Tom Brady has been alone watching film at home. It'll be twelve days just selling the kids have been out of there, Buck, Who do you like? I like the Kanna City Chiefs in this one because I think ultimately it comes down to the talent and the speed of the Kansas City Chiefs. They won their last twenty six Pat mahomes Is thirty eight and eight as a starter. Um, when they're rolling, I don't know how you I don't

know how you contain them. And so I just think their firepower and the fact that the last time they played Tyrrek Hire went for two hundred plush yards in one quarter. Um. I think they're scary, and I think the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will try and play like a little slow down basketball. But if this game breaks into a fast break game, I don't think they can compete in it. So I just have to go to Kanna

City Chiefs. They the Bucks would have to prove to me that they can knock them off because the Chiefs have just been too good. How about it, John, Yeah, I agree with Bucky and um in Kansas City wins it. And it's fascinating to me. I love the history of the game. Uh, the Chiefs all of a sudden, very quickly have a chance. To you repeat, which is it's almost been lost this year. Maybe it's because of COVID, maybe it's because everything else is going on. But this

is a franchise. Now. Remember when Elway went from the guy who could never win the big one to all of a sudden in all time great because he won too at the end of his career, all of a sudden, Andy Reid, if he wins this, you know he was always the guy who was the greatest coach, who hadn't well now, all of a sudden, if he wins back to back, I get that it's my home story and my home is gonna be set up to be an all time great He's on his way there, But all

of a sudden, this Chief's team twenty six like. But he said, you're talking some stratospheric numbers historically that there's really no sign they're gonna stop. They may be playing their way into some of the conversations that really only a few elite teams have had. So they gotta win it, obviously, But I think they win it, and I think all of a sudden, in a few years, we're looking back on this on this time as you know, eight time

that maybe we didn't appreciate when it was going on. Historically, it's got a chance to be historic this franchise. I think this game is close until the Chiefs pull away with all those weapons. I'm not counting Tom Brady out well, you'd never do that. But I think in the fourth quarter of the speed and everything will take over for Kansas City and the Chiefs. Chiefs by ten, Okay, that's what I think Discord did I put out there was

maybe thirty four um. I think It's one of those games that's entertaining because I think it's a back and forth game and much like last year, Knsy didn't play well in the Super Bowl. Then oh in the fourth quarter, Old pet Moles and I have time. But we had a minute, We got a minute. Could the Bucks slow it down the Patriots against the Ram's, you know one, remember that. I know it's a different era, but it almost seems like they may be able to pull that

kind of thing off with Grady. I think they can. I think that they followed the blueprint at the Buffalo BeOS used in Week six, where they dare the Knsy the chief to run the ball as much as they can and then play really good red zone defense. I think that's the way that you have to play them. You cannot let the ball go over the top of the defense. They are the Golden State Warriors of the NFL. Don't let Steph Curry hitting any three points because it's

excites the building. Make them shoot layups and all that other stuff. They can have all the layups and ducks they want, but don't let them shoot threes because that's the quickest way to get blown out of the building. Bucky Brooks, John Oser, I'm J P. Shadrick. This is jaguar Is Happy Hour. We'll see what it's called next week, but thanks guys. We'll talk to you then.
