And with that, Mark Sanchez is now a decade in the NFL. Fox Sports is now joining us live in our studio here in Mason, Bourbon. You know, I was talking about this earlier that I know they were great, but the Eagles have two rookie corners. Okay, this game makes veterans a little tight. Drew Breeses laughed at his first throw down the field in the Super Bowl. He's like, settle down, I got too much juice. If you're Mahomes, you think you look at that and think, all right, you had nice regular season. You've been big favorites against teams, would you them?

Oh well, I think you got to do that at some point in all these big games on offense, you want to just give the defense a peak of what's under the hood. Right that like automobile analogy let him see the engine, let him feel the roar of the engine. At some point, Xavier Worthy, it's got to test these guys downfield. He's their speedster. Drafted to be like a Deshaun Jackson for Andy Reid when he was in Philadelphia, that kind of idea. But when you're talking about this Philly defense, I mean you got to give credit to Vic Fangio and the staff he's assembled, because think about last year. They got bounced out of the playoffs in the first round. They got embarrassed, their morale was down. Everybody was down on the Eagles, especially their defense. They wanted to get rid of everybody. Well, they did an excellent job of reinvigorating some of the players they already have, drafting and developing talent that was usually supposed to be for depth. Those two rookie corners, remember Quanna Mitchell, He's a rookie from Toledo, played in the mac He hadn't seen receivers like this until this year. He's only playing. We only know who Quinnyon Mitchell is because Bradbury went down in training camp, so he's had to play the entire year no picks all season two in the postseason, I'd say that's a great draft pick so far.

Right.

Right.

Then you get another rookie like Cooper dejen who was not playing to start the year. Remember it was Avonte Maddox. And after the bye week Cooper Dejean starts to crack the lineup. And he's been a rookie playing nickel. We've talked about it on this show before. That is one of the toughest positions to play as a rookie. He's got to fit up in the run, he's got to play man to man, he's got to understand where to be in zone coverage. He's got a blitz off the edge. And oh, by the way, he returns punts. This guy's been unbelievable. Then you take a couple of castaways on offense from New York. I know what that feels like, right, getting kicked out of New York, run out of the big city, and you take the train right over to Philly and see what happens. Mackai Becton, remember him, He's a first round draft pick out of Louisville. They didn't want him anymore. They threw his ass out of town. Well, who saved him? Who made him a reclamation project, and who made him look like an app monster on offense? Jeff Stoutlin. How about that guy and the job he's done with the O line for the Eagles. McKay Becton's throwing linebackers off the screen when you watch the table, So then you get Sakuon Barkley cast out of New York. I mean the job that the Eagles have done reinvigorating their players, drafting guys for depth, and then finding ways to get these guys to play well. Jalen Carter, for example, he played like half the snaps last year. He's almost doubled his snap total this year. Well, who did that? Clint Hurt lit a fire under that guy's rear and got him playing. Now he's a human body snatcher up front, grabs those O lineman, refuses to let them get to the second level. And who becomes an All Pro? Oh this guy you never heard of him? Zach Bond making all the tackles, making interceptions, punching the football out. They've completely changed their entire face of their young their identity. And Zach Bond couldn't crack the lineup. He comes out of Wisconsin, can't crack the lineup here in New Orleans with the Saints, and now suddenly he's an All the first year he plays for Vic Fangio. So whatever they're drinking there in Philly, whatever's in the water, whatever that attitude is. In the meetings, their camaraderie, you could tell they've done a great job. It's been a complete facelift.

So obviously Philadelphia knows they're gonna be in the record books on the wrong side if the Chiefs win. Sure, and I do think there's pressure on Kansas City to deliver, but they always have in this spot outside of the Tampa Brady missing their O tackles Super Bowl. So when you were in a big game and you're facing somebody on the other side that is already iconic, and I think Mahomes is already there. And let's say, I know it sounds like you, you quarterbacks, go to the bench, you look at film, But did you ever were you ever aware of the icon you faced made Brady and Manning. Did you ever think to yourself, listen, man, we can't just be about run game and Rex's defense. I gotta peel one off here. I'm just going to say, does get into your head a little bit. All of a sudden, you're Jalen Hurts.

You trail. It's three in a row. You don't want to be in the record books. Do you start to think like, hey man, I gotta make plays here.

You trail. It's three in a row. You don't want to be in the record books. Do you start to think like, hey man, I gotta make plays here.

At a certain point, Jalen Hurts is gonna have to drop back, go through his progressions and make a big time throw. He did it two Super Bowls ago, minus the one fumble. He played nearly flawless and it was an efficient game. He threw the ball in that game two years ago a lot more than I think he will in this game. Once again, this offense runs through Saquon Barkley. If I'm Killen Moore, I'm gonna try and set the Super Bowl record for rushing attempts to Saquon Barkley. Right, that's my game plan. At some point, if the Chiefs find a way to return upon flip the field go up ten, fourteen points, we're gonna have to throw the ball a little bit, not completely abandon the run game. But that's where Jalen Hurts has to come a lot, and that's where I think coach nus Meyer has done a great job. Their quarterbacks coach, along with Kellen Moore showing him how to play in their formula to win this year, and it's different than the Eagles two years ago.

He has to have that.

He has to have that.

Efficient game eighteen of twenty two, eighteen of twenty three, maybe two hundred yards a touchdown or two, and he's got to use his legs. Some of those big throws are gonna be one on one matchups. McDuffie and AJ Brown on the edge. McDuffie's a heck of a cornerback. This is his third year in the league. He's in his third Super Bowl. I mean, this kid's a stud out of Washington. So him and AJ Brown if they're ever matched up on the field, as soon as Hurt sees that that's his chance to take a shot, he throws a beautiful.

Deepot educate our audience on this. Mark Sanchez for the radio audience joining us. Kansas City has been so proficient in these one possession games. I think they are very brady New England in terms of circumstantial football. Do they come into this game? I mean the Philly Special, they didn't use it all year. You practice at eight weeks, how many plays do you go into a game thinking, Hey, if it goes to overtime, we need two.

Read and Mahomes Mark have been together so many years, exactly can you add six? How many special plays do you think they come into this game with?

Read and Mahomes Mark have been together so many years, exactly can you add six? How many special plays do you think they come into this game with?

Well, I think they have five to ten that they've already been practicing since August since. OTAs just thoughts, because when you have players that have been together, that's really what's on their side is time on task in crucial situational moments, gotta have it situations. They know what to do. They know exactly what their fundamentals are. They don't rise to the occasion. They sink to the level of the way they train, and they train hard. Their camp, their training camp is notoriously hard. They practice racks of plays sixteen, eighteen, twenty. Most teams are practicing ten to twelve. They do it to get their bodies ready physically, their mind ready mentally and emotionally to handle those long, arduous drives. So in those moments, they sink to exactly who they are. They've done it before. They know where to go with the football. They can recognize the defense. Patrick Mahomes can communicate it to his players, get him in the right play and that's what leads to their high level of execution.

So you did a couple of Eagles games this year. I've said before is there are times I watch them and think, how do they ever punt? Like there are no weaknesses an O line tight end. Sometimes as a play caller, like I feel like sometimes DeVante Smith is gifted but feels like a lost man.

Sure they have to do a jet suite. We got to get them involved.

Sure they have to do a jet suite. We got to get them involved.

Do you think in big games, is there a tendency when you are really gifted whereas we like Xavier Worthy, they still feel like they're a receiver shy maybe like when Rashi Rice comes from Philadelphia has a surplus can you sometimes get too cute with extra time to prepare.

Well, if you're trying too hard and lose your identity. Their identity is running the football once again, run it and run it and run it. Somemore. There were a couple times in that Super Bowl two years ago where they ran it on like third and eight because they knew they were going for it on fourth and short. That's another thing they have in their back pocket, that tush push play until the NFL outlaws it. That is a weapon for them. You don't see the Chiefs do it. You don't see other teams as successful with it. So understanding that game within the game third and eight doesn't mean I have to throw the ball eight yards down the field. I could throw a two to six yard completion and I know we're right in that range of our tush, push, our brother lee shove, and nobody's gonna stop us. So I think they have that in their back pocket. I think when it comes to getting certain players touches, you want people to touch the ball early, especially your stars. I don't care. Snap it to them, hand it to them, jet sweep, fly sweep, whatever you want, a bubble on top of a run, and they add an extra defender in the box. Dump it to DeVante Smith, let him go break a tackle and get into the flow of the game. I think that's gonna be, you know, tricky for Kellen Moore. But then he's got to settle in himself as a play caller, getting those play sequences aligned properly.

Feel Philadelphia, they feel like right now, like San Francisco, did the previous three or four years. Kind of the centerpiece of the NFC when you're around Philadelphia, like you're on the field, you go to the Friday production meeting, what is the vibe of the team behind the scenes that I don't see and the fans don't see.

The first thing you notice is their O line and defensive line size. I mean, they're monsters. It looks like space jam and that you know, Jordan's playing with Looney Tunes and they got the monstars on the other side. They're massive humans and their demeanor, they're light. It's fun. And then when it's time to go, these guys can flip a switch and they're in the middle of their plays and there is no mess around. Now you get back to the huddle, the defense on the field, the offense can joke around a little bit, but these guys are dial they're so focused and they have this way to compartmentalize and a lot of that's the coaching staff, the preparation. Can't say enough about Philly what they've done.

Well, you know, it's interesting. You play in New York, you play in Philadelphia, so you you and you're in the media and you grew up in Los Angeles, so you really understand talk radio, the media, the relentless nature, wfan WYP and I think, like I've told West Coast buddies, I'm like, LA is a big market, but there's a hostility Philadelphia when you play there, just the intensity and urgency, like there's a demand make our roster better. And I think there's something that feeds off this. I've said this before. Sometimes Buffalo and Green Bay the media is supportive, like in Philadelphia. I always feel like the media and the fans kind of hold you, like they notice every thing. I mean, did you sense that as a player there.

Here's what I would say about that fan base that I love playing, especially when you went in. They're awesome. They'll never be satisfied unless you win two super Bowls and season, So until that happens, they're not gonna be happy. However, it'd be nice to win a super Bowl for him and they'll love you up forever and you'll be an iconic, you know, player for that franchise and you might have a statue right next to Rocky you know, downtown. So that's that's kind of the vibe there, but they embrace it. I think the team really has embraced it. They've taken that as a challenge. And remember after two and two start, they go to bye week. The sky was falling. They wanted to fire everybody, they wanted to kick everybody out of town. And they you've seen their celebration. Everybody calm down, Calm down, and they found a way to find their identity and establish dominance, especially in the run game and on defense.

And I've compared to you recently that somebody called me at the Washington Post and I said, you remind me of Bill Simmons. Because simmons love for the Celtics was so pure and authentic, it didn't bother me that he you know, he they were his team. And I feel that with Kansas City. I see the passion, I see the love. But you know, Bill throws his vulnerability out there sometimes he'll you know this analysis, you show no signs of lack OF's confidence. There has to be something with this stacked Eagles roster.

I mean, if Jalen Hurts is playing great, I mean, the Chiefs are gonna make Jalen Hurts beat them. And everyone points to the performance in the last Super Bowl, and Jalen Hurts was excellent, excellent. The problem, the flip side to that coin, is he hasn't played that level of game one time since then.

I mean, if Jalen Hurts is playing great, I mean, the Chiefs are gonna make Jalen Hurts beat them. And everyone points to the performance in the last Super Bowl, and Jalen Hurts was excellent, excellent. The problem, the flip side to that coin, is he hasn't played that level of game one time since then.

He's come close a.

He's come close a.

Couple times, but he has not been able to duplicate that performance once since then. The other thing that would concern me of it if I were an Eagles fan is there's an amazing clip of the young rookie defenders the Chiefs had from that Super Bowl in the final moment saying to each other, bro, we don't even know the scheme and we just won the Super Bowl. So it is that because that was the draft class that Karloftis McDuffie, Joshua Williams, Leo, shit, all those guys who are now you know, third year players, not quite veterans, but close to it. So I just think the Chiefs are going to be better prepared. But the Eagles are an excellent team. Their problem is they're playing a team that, even though they were nagged all year by the media, is.

Going to go down as the greatest team ever.

Going to go down as the greatest team ever.

This is the greatest football team ever that this Kansaity Chiefs team going for a three pat They beat every single AFC playoff opponent, They beat every NFC playoff opponent. They had one team beat them. They then got back at them in the Bills in the playoffs. They're the healthiest they've.

Been all year.

There's no shame for Philadelphia in not winning this game, and yes, Philadelphia can win it, but man, I think the Chiefs are even still a touch underrated by only being point and half favorites.

You know, I've said this and I'm glad Matt Hasselbeck pointed this out that when an athlete is super talented, we tend to forget all the tedious practices, like there's no all great players have insane work ethics, like there's no lazy superstars. I mean, Charles Barkley was great, but in the end didn't get a title because he didn't work on the defensive end. It probably wasn't the practice committed player. And the first after you start examining Mahomes and you have a good relationship with him because he knows of your adjuration and fanaticism for all things Kansas City. I think people lose they lose it on him. Is that his ability to see openings and then let go of the ball. Marino's the only one in my life is that. I think Patrick, maybe it's the Quirky brother or it's quirki personality. This is one of the smartest players that's ever played the game. It to me, it's insane. When you look at the film behind Patrick Mahomes, Yep, it's Kretzky and hockey.

So it's the play and they probably can't pull it up right now, but at some point before the game you should have them pull this because it got totally It was like lost.

What you're describing is shown perfectly on the two point conversion pass to Justin Watson in the back of the end zone against Buffalo, which was a huge play because they were down one. So that you get the two point conversion. Now you're up the full touchdown. If not, you're only up five. And it feels a little anxiety. There is no opening, there is nothing, and it is he is off balance moving in the pocket and he sees it and hits it, and it is. It is exactly what you're describing. What is remarkable about Patrick singularly is his ability this early in his career to identify the exact type of quarterback that team needs that season or that game and be that quarterback. When he got there, it was, well, we have the twenty ninth defense in football, so it better be bombs away at all times. They trade Tyreek Hill and it's like, Okay, we still have Prime Kelsey, we have good weapons, but we can't stretch the field. I'm gonna dink and dunk my way to the most yards any players ever had in the season. It broke Drew Brees' record that year win the MVP. The last couple of years. Our wide receiver corps last year was not good. This year banged up. We're gonna have to be a possession based offense, lean on the defense. He can do that. I'd never it was not. The Only other quarterback who I saw could do that was late stage Tom Tom in that fourteen to eighteen run. And then while I guess further than that, you know, with Tampa, whatever version that team needed, he could be. But Tom was thirty five years old when that started. Patrick's twenty nine and already doing it.

It does sometimes the NBA, it's best players are international, and though they're really skilled and learned and wonderful kids, it would be great if they went to Carolina, Arizona, gonzag and Duke Right domestic stars. It's really interesting that the NFL right now, the face of the league is this kind of funny, quirky Patrick Mahomes. He's perfect, so he's not too cool that he's off putting he's got a flaw flawed enough family. He's let's just see the family on Netflix. You got to see all of it. He's in Kansas City, where I probably can't go out. I wonder, and you have better insight to this that I would. How he compartmentalizes being the greatest player in the most popular game, yet stays out of trouble, seems completely level headed, never gets over his skis.

So I think.

So I think.

I think, in an odd way, one of the best things that could have happened to him was the fact that Tom beat him in those playoff games. And I say that he was asked yesterday's like, is there a game you still think about? And he snap answered, yeah, the Super Bowl against Tampa. And if you go back and watch that game, he's running for his life.

Second half of the AFC Championship game against Cincinnati, he didn't play well and they lost the Super Bowl against Sampa. There's really nothing he could do. But it's still evidently, you know, is the one he thinks about. But the reason I say that is because because he lost that Super Bowl, and because now Tom is because if he hadn't lost that Super Bowl, we could be saying that after Sunday it is six to five.

Like there is such he has. He is chasing a white whale that had such a massive lead that there is no room for complacency. And because it's he's almost in the perfect Goldilock zone of I am I have distanced myself enough from all of my contemporaries while still being so far away on the accomplishments from what I'm trying to be. Because what he is trying to be he won't say this, but I know this. What he is trying to be is the greatest football player ever.

Will say everything's about the team, and that's why he's a great leader. But when that's the goal and the guy you're chasing beat you and is sitting there with ten Super Bowl appearances in seven rings, it makes the quest for the three peat almost necessity because it's like this is is Sunday going to be the only time for Patrick in the next ten years? He has walks onto a football field and says, if I win, I do something Tom never did, right, Like, that's like no matter how great he is the rest of the way, it's Sunday going to be the only chance or his only chance, you know, of the next decade to be able to be like here's a check mark in my column that no one else can do. Because even it's not even like undefeated seasons, like yeah, actually Tom did that too, like you know what I mean, Like there's it went a bunch of so that that, to me, has created the laser focus. And I think that also, oddly, I think that his dad, who has kind of been in the rear view, in that rear view but in the background from the media perspective, he obviously you know, had his own issues. I think his dad is wildly important in that this is a pro athlete who has that athlete's mentality, who still not only does Patrick look up to him, but early in the year, when Patrick was throwing a bunch of picks, I know for a fact his dad hit him up and was like, buddy, your footwork, like clean it up like those. So you have someone who really has lived in the spotlight as a pro athlete that keeps you accountable. You're chasing Tom, and you have the greatest offensive head coach in football history as a sounding board. That's how you can potentially create the greatest football career ever.

Talking about the Luca and I'll let you go after this. I said, you know, fans tend to think with the NBA, they go, well, the league wants the Lakers to win, And I said, no, the reason Dallas made a move on Kyrie and Boston made a move last year, those are big markets, and Golden State made a move on Butler, and the Lakers made a move on Luca because in big cities. Miami is a great example on the Eastern Seaboard. Nobody's made more moves than in the last twenty years than Miami because in big distracted markets, people stopped going to games and they stopped caring. I mean, Boston had Tatum, Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown and people were like dissatisfied Patriots. They wont almost every year. You have to make moves. And so when the Lakers made the Luca move, it was funny listening to two Laker fans. I know, they're like, well, what's it matter, we can't defend the rim if Luca goes almost anywhere else.

You're like, we want the power Ball, and the in LA.

Was like, yeah, we had Magic, Kobe, Shaq, Kareem, we need a big And so when they made the move for a big that nobody watched outside of Duke, everybody is suddenly like, you know, Mark Williams is something, this is it?

That's right?

And I thought to myself, I thought Lebron and Luca would be fine. But I do think by keeping Austin Reeves with Luca, Lebron and Rueye size and the Charlotte Center, I thought this morning.

They could get to the final.

Well, listen, the Luca owns Oklahoma City. Oklahoma City's great Luca owns Oklahoma City. So that's that's a positive check Mark. I thought people underrated. I thought j Mack had it right earlier this week when he said the best duos and.

Had Luke and Lebron first.

Had Luke and Lebron first.

Lebron at this point, his age is being used against him from a narrative standpoint. When the plate listen, I don't know how he's doing it. Is four years old. In the year twenty two, he's been one of the eight best players in the year. He's been unbelievable. People just have just assumed he's going to deteriorate in a way that he simply hasn't.

I think that'll work. They did need some defense and they needed some size. They got it.

I think that'll work. They did need some defense and they needed some size. They got it.

So I not only do I agree with you, I think as far as moving the needle for a potential finals appearance, as crazy as it sounds, the Lakers adding Mark Williams is more then the Warriors.

So I not only do I agree with you, I think as far as moving the needle for a potential finals appearance, as crazy as it sounds, the Lakers adding Mark Williams is more then the Warriors.

Adding Jimmy Butler.

Adding Jimmy Butler.

Yeah, I agree, because the Warriors path involves Steph being prime Steph. Steph this year has as many games scoring less than fifteen as he does scoring thirty. Age appears to have hit Steph oddly earlier than it hit Lebron.

Yeah, I agree, because the Warriors path involves Steph being prime Steph. Steph this year has as many games scoring less than fifteen as he does scoring thirty. Age appears to have hit Steph oddly earlier than it hit Lebron.

So step is still really good.

So step is still really good.

But that team's not good enough to be a contender unless you have apex step I don't think that player exists anymore. And so then you have really good Jimmy Butler, really good Steph Curry and pieces. Yeah, I so, Jimmy's obviously the bigger transaction. I think Mark Williams, if he's healthy, could have bigger impact. And if because Luca is there.

Asked about Austin Reeves of course, and the fact that they retained another first round pick that they could use it in the pursuit of Mark Williams. Marob Polinka just got himself Executive of the Year.

Back to that, you listen that they gave up a first and a swap in the trade to get Mark Williams, and they gave up just a first in the trade to get Luka Ancic is a bit of an indictment.

College Remember Brandon Graham, the defensive end, been out since week twelve, torn triceps, but he believes there's a chance he could play in the Super Bowl. Now he's still on IR has not officially been activated. But this would be a great getback for the Eagles. We know that you want to pressure Mahomes and on this fast surface, you got Nolan Smith coming off the edge, Josh Sweat, maybe Bryce Huff who they got from the Jets, actually shows up.

It's amazing, Jason, I was thinking about this. In a game with a regulated level of violence, these are really healthy teams. Yeah, I mean it's over the course of a season, there's bumps and bruises, but as the season has been extended by the league and potentially another game is that what you do is you try to get healthy Christmas on. These are fully staffed teams ready to go.

I remember the Niners a few years ago in the Super Bowl were hanging the whole time. They were winning, dominating the Chiefs, and then they ran out of gas. That path rush. If you get Brandon Graham back, that's a huge one. Let's move on to the NFL draft. You know we love a good mock draft. Here, Cal Hurt salivates over them. I'm not gonna go look at.

So I think cam wore to Tennessee feels like, Hey, he's gonna be the guy that's gonna he's gonna elevate and let's be honest, energize our locker room because we just didn't have enough offense last year. So whereas Chadure is a good B plus candidate, but I think Shadour with the Raiders actually fits.

Okay, which would be okay.

So I have talked to somebody who I trust implicitly about this draft. He believes Abdul Carter is the best player and T Mack is the second best player. So if now now there is sometimes a reluctance to go wide receiver, Like I'll tell you, I think you and I agree. Travis Hunter worries me because I you got to pick a lane and the end.

Thing when you're the best athlete, You're not gonna be the best athlete in the NFL. So to me, Travis Hunter wanting to get offensive reps and be a corner, especially as a rookie, is problematic.

I just think if he gets burned on the defensive end a couple of times, people are gonna say I'd concentrate on corner not wide receivers.

Engine having to tackle Derrick Henry on third down and then now that three minutes later you're catching passes and run arounds. I don't think that works. Final story colin college football, Ohio State just won the Natty and now they have Ryan Day locked up on a new set then year deal valued at twelve and a half million in total annual compensation. He becomes the second highest paid head coach in college football behind Kirby smart By.

Brian Day obviously had an amazing season last year. He did lose Chip Kelly, his offensive coordinator. Day has reached a college football playoff in four.

Seven years well, he also lost his defensive coordinator to Penn State, right, so they have had, you know, not hemorrhage that they have lost. Obviously they'll replenish their skill players. But listen what you're finding in college football. Georgia found this out and Alabama found it out in the New Nil. People are gonna take They're gonna come hard after your best players. So Alabama fell very quickly from dominant to not really to losing to Vandy. So I think Ohio State it's an amazing football program. But they're gonna find out what Georgia went through. You're gonna get your you know, whether it's coaches, personnel, quarterbacks. What happens is you get very thin this idea that Nick Saban in his prime could basically have Pro Bowl corners as his second and third best corner. That's the difficulty you face. You're and you know, listen, Chip Kelly was never gonna coach there forever. But one year is pretty quick. I thought it was gonna be longer than that.

I remember Ryan Day was like not hot seat, but man, you can't lose this game like two seasons ago, and now he loses both coordinators and they give him this deal.
