 Made it back to LA we have a heck of a show planned for you I had cold pizza for breakfast so you know it's gonna be a good one And it is hack it breaking news to the jest as Aaron Rodgers follow will break down those story lines And then it's hammer time Matt Hamilton breaks down Patrick Mahomes and his ankle Patrick Queen Will join us he'll be here and he knows burrow and chase very well Not just three times this year and then of course last year we're talking about back to the college days And we have the much anticipated appearance from our good friend Eric Weddle who caused quite a bit of a stir Among who day nation. Let's go. Let's hear it on Twitter at up and Adam's show. I like a swivel chair Pretty bit of a makeshift studio. I've got Bill's fans tweeting me. Oh, you got rid of that bills hat really quick No, this is a green screen image if I wore a green shirt. I'd be a floating head and I'll probably do that tomorrow I got a swivel chair Nobody likes a swivel chair back there in the control room for me You guys got to change this wrong and we doing this the whole show But we do have a bit of breaking news to get you this morning in a packed show take it look at this Tom Pelle Ossera what up Tom long time no talk Here's his report that the Jets are going to hire former Broncos head coach with hanging a packet as their OC We know Aaron Rodgers a huge fan of Hackett's from their three years together in Green Bay And there was already a ton of speculation about Rogers potentially landing with the Jets This is only going to add gasoline to that Inferno, so it'll be a fun day for Craig Carton and those boys in New York on the New York sports radio waves So here's what we know quit like my quick reaction. Sala Has a relationship with Hackett going back to Jacksonville. So yes, everybody's gonna connect the dots to attempt To say that it's be Rogers. This is all in an effort for Sala to get Hackett to lure Rogers But maybe they just know each other Sala and Hackett and Sala likes the hire So let's bring in our guy Matt Hamilton on this because you texted me with the news To me when I hear this kind of stuff and these I know this is going to be like this storyline It's going to go back and forth. I'm thinking well, it didn't work last year Hackett became the head coach of the Broncos with a anticipated top 10 defense with Patrick Sartan and company with And anticipated a projective stud receiving core that would have been perfect for Rogers to jump ship Leave where he is in Green Bay and go now the Devonta Adams thing was a big Part of it later that might have mucked with this a little bit a year has passed since then so people's feeling changed But if it didn't work last year, why would it work now with him as the oc with similar situation in new york in a tough division That's a great point to bring up You have to wonder if maybe the way that things played out in Green Bay this year just makes Rogers a little more likely to want to leave But you bring up a good point because it's not you look at it Is kind of similar you got some good young receivers that you'd have with the jets just like the Broncos had You have a really great defense that they've built up with the jets Just like the Broncos had so you're right. It is very similar on the face of it But yeah, you have to wonder how much Devonta played into that hesitancy last year because You know, they're still waiting to see what's going to happen with that situation And as I said just another year of going through what he went through in Green Bay Maybe makes him a little more likely to want to leave but i'm already seeing pictures getting tweeted out from The jets and packers joint practices in 2021 of rogers standing next to hack it and zack wilson and It's already new york's already going crazy with this It's gonna be a fun day Does is it the best fit is it the best fit for new york is the best You know, everyone's saying Derek Carr. There's a lot of other quarterbacks being pegged to take over this role with this Unfortunate situation that they have with zack wilson on their hands. Is erin rogers the best fit for new york That's a great question because yeah, I mean with the way he is with the media. That's going to be an interesting relationship I think with the way that roster is though that that team's going to be contending right away with what the jets have built there I mean you really look at what they were able to do with a completely With a complete mess of a quarterback situation for most of the year. They were still A game away from going to the playoffs. So Uh, you bring rogers in there. It's going to be It's going to be an incredible roster and and you got to think they're going to be in contention right away If they are able to make a move like that And I think people Believe out there and I've gotten several tweets about this that like christian watson isn't going to have a say in this Like nothing he did's gonna and we sort of we you and I have put our feet on that that like I do think christian watson And the development and the chemistry is going to have a little something to say and erin rogers going and leaving and i'm not I'm even more convinced now With this hacket news that he is when he's weighing his options It's going to be a whole new room of receivers or this guy that man like we have a spark It's hard to develop chemistry and they finally have it. I'm telling you christian watson is going to have a say in this thing And erin rogers pro cons list Yeah, absolutely because you want to know if he if he's returning to green bay He wants to know that he has guys that he feels confident in especially Guys that he's throwing to that he feels confident in so I agree with you That's that's definitely going to be a factor But he also made it clear and some of the things he's said already this all season that He'd like to see the packers do a little bit more and and that he doesn't want to necessarily go back If he doesn't feel like they have a chance of winning a championship. So yeah, uh, it's it's really going to be It's going to be fascinating to see how this all plays out for sure It's true now richard. It's a kind of accounted for I mean conrad got me a starbucks coffee They knew I flew in late from new york to be here in la we got a loaded show They booked patrick queen for me patrick queen Who's take him and joe burrow do they love each other do they hate each other? They know each other really well So I can't wait to get in his head ahead of this game at burrow head this weekend We've got eric weddle come to come in to face the music on the program We've got a hammer time from you talking about patrick mahomes and that ankle and what that'll look like on the field But richard richard literally had my favorite lighting guy come in here in this makeshift studio Do you think that he accounted for a swivel chair though? I mean the fact that you have a favorite lighting guy says a lot. Um, I I'm personally excited to see the green shirt tomorrow. We need floating head k That's what everyone needs a little floating head k in their life We also need hammer time stay tuned for that. You're going to break down patrick macones What he does with that ankle that is so important, of course with this improvisational style and his deep ball throwing up That looks good out there. He's out there doing those touch your toe things without any any situation or problem He hopped off that podium knowing everybody's looking at him Can you imagine being an nfl player hamilton and having to like leave the podium and pretend everything's okay? and I would Mahomes did it perfectly didn't he? Yeah, I mean the all the videos coming out yesterday I just zoomed in on his feet as he's walking and trying to analyze it. It's it's hilarious But well, we'll dig into all that in a little bit. I love it We have other important business to get to appreciate you hamilton will be back on in the show So will the other bearded one eric weddle and patrick queen on the show And we're going to try to get patrick queen and eric weddle to talk to each other too Because that's always fun to let the player sort of take over here on up and adam So we have just two shows guys two shows three nights until conference championships sunday And we are so excited So let's dig in to these story lines these players these coaches the things that could end up being game changers In these matchups last year last week. I told you it's sabanta smith I'm telling you who these guys are that have the great matchups the great situations We're talking to these guys boston scott stud last week. He'll be on the program tomorrow So stay tuned for that but let's go to the nfc and let's break down niners eagles and this thing that i'm looking at most Right now is niners defensive coordinator demica ryan's okay He's had a meteoric rise to becoming one of league's hottest head coaching candidates, right? He leads the niners to the number one ranked defense in the nfl in just his second season Take a look at these numbers. This is a dominant group that's led the league in scoring defense in total defense And ranked second in forcing turnovers. It is no wonder no surprise He's one of those candidates for the texans the broncos gigs. He's so sought after That he's been in the position to turn down interviews He had to cancel with the colts the colts who are saying they want saturday Okay, or is they and the cardinals he said sorry. I can't even talk to you my phones I put in an on airplane mode. I have to focus on the niners playoff run If you know as if coaching for a chance to the super bowl wasn't enough for ryan's shutting down This eagles high flying offense could be what seals the deal one of those coaching gigs, right? It's like people are going to be bidding and for his services all across the league And if those aren't enough stakes and enough drama for you Let's add this layer everybody all of this is happening in a place where he spent the final four years of his brilliant playing career How cool is that ryan's was a defensive leader for the birds leading them in tackles twice Helping along young teammates like brandon graham Fletcher cox who you know He has to face in the biggest game of his coaching life on sunday. He loves work cut out for him He's got jaylon herts A really complicated complex eagles offense that can beat you in a million different ways But you better believe he's going to present a challenge for philadelphia too nick siriani Well aware of that fact and he was asked about the impact to make ryan's has made on the niners defense take a listen They really recognize that that coach cares about them as a person They really recognize that that coach is genuinely making them better So again, am I in there in meetings and hearing how demico ryan's is is making guys better? No But I see it that obviously that he is doing that and that these guys love to play for him Okay, i'm not joking siriani went on for like three more minutes on demico I mean you could literally clip that off Submit it in the next interview whether it's colt broncos, whatever arizona and who needs references play that clip from siriani and On a serious note seeing that sort of reverence an offensive genius like siriani has for a demico ryan's is Mean something it's going to be enthralling to watch the chess match that goes on between these two throughout the game On sunday, so that's really the thing i'm looking at that dc to really whip something up Against this complex eagles offense and if siriani is able to solve this tough diners defense The other thing i'm looking at on the other side is dallas goddard And I thought about this after grok brought him up to me yesterday during our interview Goddard might be the game changer titans do something they mean something in these late post season games And he put on a show last weekend. Okay. He had the one-handed snag. Oh my god Oh This is the first touchdown talk about a tone setter and they blew out the giants after this This is a thing of beauty and he's been having this type of impact all year. I know Truly and I feel like the dominance of a.j. Brown And that storyline just in general and divante smith You know combined with the five games that he missed due to a shoulder injury That sort of caused goddard to go fly a little bit under the radar But look at this Look at this. Let this sink in for just a second only travis kelsey Average more yards per game this year than ol dallas goddard dg We see you here on up and adams dallas led all non running backs and reception percentage Lowest drop rate in the entire league and also led all titans and average yards after catch in fact In fact Debo samuel people was the only pass catcher in the entire game to average more yak yards than dallas goddard What and we should mention the eagles 10 and 0 in games that goddard and hurt start and finish together undefeated 10 zip So that's what we'll see on the field going up against demico ryan's this weekend and no all pro selection no pro bowl Love for dallas goddard a complete snooze fest around the league And I know the five games throw that out through an unreal season this guy's put together missing those five games And having him on the field you see the difference he makes when he's out there And I'm telling you right now if the niners defense and and all of them don't pay close attention to him He could wreck the game on sunday and we've got more to come here on up and adams You saw hammer hammer joins us for hammer time patrick mahomes the ankle You want to learn something hamilton will join you next on this and patrick queen on joe burrow Um, I'm doing good. You know assy championship week ready to go How's the ankle? It's doing good, you know, I've had a few days of treatment a few days of rehab I'm excited to get on the practice field and kind of test it out and see where I'm at, but it's feeling good so far Patrick did get through that practice yesterday. I'm not even kidding cameras were zooming in on his foot as he hopped off He tried to be real casual hopping off the podium There's like two baby steps and then you walked off and everybody's eyes were like On it, uh, but he was out there. He was doing them. Those toe taps aren't easy Uh, every indication will be taking the field this sunday against those bangles at arrowhead in the AFC championship game, but um With how painful it looked last weekend against the Jets. I have to imagine it might still be a factor So let's bring in matt hamilton for another edition of hammer time I tried to get them to take away the swivel chair during the break. I see that that was unsuccessful nah, mama You idiot's giving me a swivel swivel chair idiots Okay, hamilton you're here, but I can't really really dance in it because I'm going to go flying Listen, you're doing a lot of heavy lifting on the show. This is my nightmare. This is your nightmare. It's true Okay, but it's it's I thought it was going to be the nightmare. Thank you derrick. I appreciate it Uh, I thought it was gonna be the nightmare for chief's fans Seeing what happened. You know amanda my sister She was she she she said nobody talked to me. I have my uh has a soccer game my niece at three We can't watch this and I'm like watching this happen like oh my gosh somebody's got to tell her Somebody's got to warn her and then she came back and she was like I was watching her go through the emotional ups and downs of this game But we saw him play through it against the jags and while he you know still made some huge plays it impacted the game Hamilton if this ankle injury Is a little bit lingering which I imagine it has to be like torah doll isn't It wasn't going to heal this thing unless he's wolverine from x-men. How could that ankle affect what we see out of patrick against ensy Yeah, and you talked about it a little bit monday I think the fact that it's his right ankle ankle on that plant leg is what's concerning here because that's where you drive off of as a quarterback that's where you Generate a lot of your power is out of that lower body. So um while he was able to You know combat some of that with his arm pure arm strength in the short passing game It affected his ability to throw the ball down the field and fit into some tight windows So let's look at a little bit of tape here, and I'll show you what I mean Let's go So the first play we're looking at here is a healthy mohomes against the rams earlier this season And what I want you to watch here is that back leg that right leg Watch how he's able to drive off of that foot and really push and generate so much power Look at all the force that's being generated off that foot and this is an incredibly high level throw He's gonna make as we run this forward an absolute laser cover two whole shot to marcus about this scantling Rams dvs just throwing up their hands. There's nothing you can do about that These are the type of special throws. He's able to drive in downfield when that ankle is healthy But this is last weekend against the jaguars. It's going to be a very similar type of throw But look at the difference. He's gingerly stepping forward not really driving off that foot It's really it just takes kind of a soft step And watch what happens with this throw the ball just kind of dies on him It hits the defender in the back an offensive pass interference call to boot So that's something i'm going to be looking for and then there's the more obvious the mobility factor the impact that This ankle is going to have on his ability to step up in the pocket and you see it here There's a clear lane for him to be able to step up slide either scramble or maybe look for kelsey coming across the middle We've seen him do this time and time again. He just doesn't really have the confidence to do it Ends up kind of drifting to his right not able to escape outside the pocket either So we've seen him do a million times and just kind of throws it into the ground makes the safe throw So Again, we don't know the exact condition that ankle is going to be and everybody's going to be speculating I'm seeing shots of random people at a gym Saying that's my home so he's working out and he's fine. We've seen the zoomed up shots on feet We don't really know What it's going to look like but if it is a concern those are the things to look for and Those are the areas that it's going to impact this game and if i'm lua in a rumo I'm pressing up on these receivers. I'm pressing up on kelsey I'm going to try to test him and and make him I know it sounds crazy because it's the opposite of what you've always tried to do against my homes But i'm challenging these receivers and i'm and i'm testing it early and to your point Well, he has the arm strength and you saw what randy reed did when henny came in and he just like, okay Or is there we're going to do so I can't be that worried But my homes didn't attempt a single pass over 20 yards in the air in that win over jacksville not one You know, but if there is one quarterback and coaching staff that can make it happen It is them listen great job by hamilton We've got eric weddle on the show eric well here to take his medicine for what he said And he's a great and he's a friend of our next guest after this I can't believe we have patrick queen in the building baby Let's talk about the ravens about the season about what he's excited about and we'll be talking about I need to know are you friends with joe burrow? Are you not friends with joe burrow because it on the field it doesn't look like it Again by patrick queen Patrick queen sacks jones She's so scary man first round draft fit by the baltimore ravens one of the most exciting linebackers in the league And I must say a phenomenal twitter follow and by the way patrick queen Did you know that you were voted media good guy by your local beat reporters? I did I did. I didn't know until like I walked in and then they came and told me Like a few minutes before it happened as though, so it was crazy, but I appreciate I appreciate Well, how are you and why do you think they voted you that I hear you talk to everybody after the game? I'm good and I mean It's just crazy. I don't expect to receive a war like that, you know, so Um, I remember after the stealers lost they came in the locker room and I was like pissed Didn't I want to talk to anybody and they came up and they was like can we get an interview? Which you're not wanting to say bad, so no, but I'm like they got a job to do so I might as well just Give them a little insight Well, we love having you here on the show and for making some time we missed your ravens on the field already Now you're coming off your best season in baltimore with career highs honestly across the board in almost every category How would you like you're sitting back? You've had a couple days to sort of Reflect on the season probably When you when you look at it, how do you describe your personal journey this year? Did it feel different from your first two years? Everybody always tells me the game slows down a little bit once you play for a while Yeah, definitely slowed down and uh, I feel like I made a great jump But it was not where I wanted to be I still wanted to be even better. So, uh, that just comes with I guess experience So now that I got the more more experience under my belt Year four could be even better. So that's what I'm looking forward to that's what I'm gonna be working for this I'll see just to improve off what I just did What does better mean to you? Like is it all pro? Is it, you know, like you got roquan there now you and roquan are A nightmare. You're a nice. So how much like you don't scare quarterbacks around the league now I want I want it all I want it all whatever come with with it. I want it all, uh, just Identity I just want a window but whatever work comes with it. Uh, the stats. I want it all I ain't gonna lie to you. I just I'm greeted like that Yeah, and and I'm used to the ravens having it all I really am I'm used to you guys playing deep into these these post seasons a lot of energy a lot of good vibes There was you know a lot of obstacles for this team this year big injuries Injuries that you know that that's sort of been with the ravens for the past couple years fourth quarter Weirdness, right? There's quarterbacks, which is all of that and the division is really tough So what's one area of improvement that you do think Needs to happen to come out swinging next year I think we just all got to come in and just come together quicker I think that was the biggest thing that we all weren't a true team when we started so Um, that's what the main message was on the Asian meetings was just us coming together quicker Being able to form that bind at a faster pace so that this way when we start the season Things will fall apart like they did early on Yeah, I love hearing that we'll talk a little more about the ravens in a bit But I love you I said you're a good twitter follow I I have laughed out loud and so did my whole staff when we saw this This tweet that you that you put up here They need to make a show for fans To get on and think that they know football and ask them every single assignment on the field on each play Now, I would lose immediately in this in this situation. But but what does that show look like? I need you to pick a host pick a host who's hosting that show and uh, and what does that look like? For a host uh I'll probably say chuck clark Okay And it's like these people who are on twitter telling you what football is about and and it's that's what it is Yeah, it's just it's it's crazy because like they're just like randomly point out something and be totally wrong like just Not even close to what they are trying to say or what they're trying to the point they're trying to make and it just Don't aggravate me, but it just like makes me realize like What I do is like just another level of something with somebody Uh, it's not capable of knowing not capable of doing not trying to down talk anybody, but there are a lot of fans out there like I know one guy that watches Bill's film cover one. He knows a lot of stuff about football and that's because he takes the time to learn it And he doesn't bash anybody. So uh, it's just I guess he comes with being a fan and then being an athlete Yeah, well, okay, so what's one thing that you want fans that watch the game to understand like what it What what bothers you the most that people get wrong the most? Like besides when you obviously see somebody mess up like Y'all will pick or like whatever it may be like actually like see if you understand what the play was and just Before you go bash or somebody like I see people getting bashed all the time Include myself like for stuff that has has nothing to do with them. So that's that's the biggest one I'm trying to get across I love that now. Uh, let's talk a little bit about this weekend. You know this bangles team Patrick better than anyone you've seen them three times this season You were college teammates with joe borough and jamar I'm but you got them. I need you're talking about fans needing to learn we need to learn Look at this interception people out there watching right now. Are you kidding? First and ten, this is bangles baltimore division rival Patrick You don't I'm showing you this because I need you to know that I know that you know the secrets and the cheat code You knew exactly where that ball was going. Talk me through this Uh, yeah, I've seen jamar going motion and used to when he does that same motion They don't snap it for the right They used to run every proud concept that they ran and I was actually supposed to be out of a little water Pushing through with the back because that was my new number three that I was supposed to push through with But I knew jamar going to motion that was going to throw it to jamar So I just hop on come back a little bit I was just like I'm gonna make him check it down if you do throw it out there And he just threw it straight to me. So he I guess he didn't see me I mean clearly he didn't you knew where it was going because you know these guys so well So if you were to give you know a a professor patrick queen lesson To steve spagnolo on borough ahead of this weekend. What is what would you teach him? What would you tell him that he needs to know? No, it's supposed to pay. No, it's supposed to please just make them check the ball down the whole game Uh, they got great athletes great. I receive every row. See if on their team is great to run and basket do whatever they want on the field, uh So I think the best thing is you for him to do is just try to get pressure with a full manner I should just drop back and make him check it down I think if you limit those explosive plays make them go the long hard way eventually something gotta give Are you are you two friends? I know you play together and he speaks really highly of you at the podium and you do too But then on the field Patrick it never looks like y'all get on get along. What's what are you friends? Yeah, we're friends Everybody think we're not friends because we had a fight in college like every college he makes have with each other. So Uh, whatever they want to take with that they can I just I'm here to say that at the end of the day if Joe Never needed something from me like I'll be there for him. Like everybody knows that Uh, that's how we all are and at the end of the day. Um, when we step on the field He's trying to beat me just like I'm trying to beat him So at the end of the day if we're competing against each other and it looked me ugly nasty That's football But it matters more right like when you have to make a play on him because he does I pay attention to what joe says a lot And that strip sack. I think we have it that strip sack He he hated it. He talked about it after the game. Patrick first talk me through this Uh, yes, so it was just a blitz off the left side and I was supposed to get through clean But obviously I didn't somebody got bumped off the way in there I just got running and I saw him meekin around the edge Trying to make a plane and I was just like, I was praying like, please don't throw it. Please don't throw it Please don't throw it. Just went over there and just tried to put a hit on him Uh, yeah, and it looks like it meant more to you too He did it definitely did y'all I was just like I said, I was running I was praying please don't throw it Yeah, and he after the game I remember he was like I was mad. I got if you never know what's going on And then I but then I found out it was Patrick Queen and he was really pissed at you Yeah, it's different when it's your teammate from college, especially like how we were in college It's just the competitive nature between both of us. Uh, nobody want to lose nobody want to get a playmate on them by somebody that they know, uh, so I guess it comes with being in the amc north. Yeah, what's your best joe borough story? Uh, I guess him coming in like the first day, uh Summer practice and we had like a mini-conditioning test. I don't know. We actually did have the conditioning test Any camp comes out first day Just lights it up like our enemy our running Devon Trying to like prove a point to the team and so like we all sitting there like yeah, this guy's legit Like he had a long hair calling up sunshine and stuff. So it was Epic store Did he like being called sunshine? I don't think so. I don't think so at all. It was It was getting to that point where he was like I'm done with it and I was neat cut his hair. So Oh my god, that's amazing. I love that. He did. I didn't know that story Let's talk a little bit about your ravens. Well, I want to ask you about Lamar But but you and you and Roquan are really something special. He gets there Can you sort of describe to someone that I don't want to tweet about it and get it wrong or like what I'm seeing So you tell me educate me on like what his impact was on you personally What you two are doing out there and jiving off of each other because it's really special Uh, you just when you watch football you see him you see him all over the field You see him making plays you see him taking control of games and uh, once he got there You just see how he operates how he's how welcome to me is what everybody hot. He learns everybody name Um, just the way he treats himself as uh, as actually how he be how he's the pro in the way room how he's a pro, uh Getting treatment whatever it may be. He takes a pro uh, uh, approach to it So just having somebody like that in a room and only on your team is a big game changer and just like I'm proud of him I'm proud of the stuff that he did this season coming in and learning to play book that quick. Um, just I'm happy for him getting the money getting in the big old bag and stuff. It's just it's everything that he deserves Yeah, hopefully it's coming your way then next year with these lofty goals you had What do you do to make those things happen? So like now it's the off season. Of course, you'll watch the game sunday and you'll you know Low-key because you can't be because you're a rabble. You'll be happy for your friends doing their thing against against kasey I know that but what do you personally do? Do you take Time off for a little bit and then get back into it. Do you get right into it? Like, how do you handle your business off season? I think for me, uh having two off seasons is The best thing for me was last season. I just took a few weeks off and maybe two maybe three And I just got right back into uh, then start off extremely hard, but just Got back into it slowly and surely. Um, I think that's the biggest thing and just eaten right I think I started eating right a little bit too late last season. I mean last all season. So I think That approach now just knowing what to eat. We're not to eat and starting to work out early Um, that's probably the best thing for me to be able to reach those goals What are you not eating? What are you eating now? What do you got to stop? What's like the the the one thing that you have to stop eating that makes you the most upset? Pasta I love pasta Yes You can't eat pasta when like just all season It's just like I love pasta. So like Instead of like having pasta and like with chicken or shrimp or something in it. I just won't pasta like I just love pasta And it's too many carbs. So I can't I can't really eat that So now you got to stop you got to get it while you can But there's there's other kind of pastas now, you know, there's lentil pasta There's pastas made out if you tried any of those I have not I haven't even thought about trying another dose. Okay. We won't we won't even ask you to do that Okay, so so I want to ask you, you know the vibes between you and roquan They're on And they were amazing all season. I mean before before the trade it was the 20th You know ranked past defense he gets there you to crush it It's the second best past defense like you guys are killing it but the rest of the team the vibe sort of felt off and you had the like the JK Dobbins thing happen and obviously like you're rolling out a quarterback. That's a third string which is crazy Why why were the vibes off? I'll just ask you honestly Things just comes like naturally like with a football team where injuries happen and stuff happens inside the facility I think that tends to happen around every football team Uh, it's just at a point. How well do you respond? Everybody gets with adversity and I think the biggest thing was for us was we just all came together. We all just stuck in there Um, especially seeing what happened last season and knowing that we have a better chance With more guys being back even with the injuries Just staying in there being consistent having each other's back and just coming in to work and trying to get better And just improve our team and improve our season. Yeah, I have mark ingram on my show every week I have of course legend eric weddle former raven on my show every week Chris carter was on last week We're talking brandon marshal comes on and talks about this lamar jackson thing all of the time And you know the thought that he wouldn't want to play if he was 100% like when you hear that kind of stuff I thought does it just make you so mad? Uh, yeah, I mean at the end of the day if if you can't play And then that's on you. Um, not on you like that, but like it's just something that you can't control I think at the end of the day if you could move a little bit if you could do what you could do, um Without sacrificing your whole body and knowing that you and you being out for longer than what you need to be Go out there and play, um No shots at who people think i'm talking about because obviously he can play Like lamar's better. He's gonna do what he needs to do to get out on the field and he couldn't play he couldn't play but just overall as a view but if you're a player and There's some nagging you or something like stopping you from like completely playing then I understand that but Um, and then that they were football players. We're not always going to be 100% So sometimes we just gotta just put up and go out there and ball how we are It's well said. What do you want to see happen for your guy lamar? I want to see him get the bag. I think he deserves it. Um, great guy Great leader great player. Um, just all around a football player. Hey, um, somebody that our team Gels with a lot and loves and we'll do anything for so, um, I definitely want to see lamar stand Baltimore get paid And try to go on these Super Bowl runs Yeah, we want to see that too and I know our next guest is gonna want to see that as well I think uh, Eric Weddle wants to say hello You guys have a mutual love for the ravens and wink martin dale, of course.

Very excited to not go anywhere I'm sorry to say they got zero chance to get some bills You're this is a very distressing interview We we tried to be nice. We made a protect joe Okay, they can't they can't protect them Let's welcome in our good friend eric weddle eric this this that clip was very popular. What's your reaction to the reactions? I mean, I didn't uh, I didn't know my opinion really mattered that much to the world, you know, I don't My week was just like any other week. Uh, I'm not on social media as you guys know And I don't really watch much tv with my kids. I got high school football this and that so life is good on my end and uh, you know, I've always said a true man can admit when he was wrong and was boy was I wrong on that and Listen, do I take back anything that I said? Of course not because that's what I believed in and I don't uh, you know, even the expertise of Eric weddle can be wrong and wrong badly. So, uh, kudos to the bangles I applaud you guys I was shocked and I'm not gonna lie of the outcome truth be told. I wasn't able to watch the game live. I was at a charity event for a local high school that I was participating in and I was with my buddy and we turn, you know, we turned off our phones because I was taping the games and he turned on his phone and I saw An espn headline and it just said Cincinnati and I said I knew because they wouldn't say Cincinnati lost. They were saying Cincinnati is advancing or going on and so then I checked the score and I was shocked. Honestly, I was shocked like it's not to discredit, uh The players and the heart motivation all that stuff like yeah, we get all that. I just seriously thought like, uh that they they You know, if they looked at what Baltimore did and then I and I just kept coming back to the Super Bowl and how You know, they struggle with our pass rush and how we took over that game and obviously I was wrong and Uh, they're moving on and and they get all the credit and as they should the players played outstanding the coaching staff Uh, out coached them outplayed them burrow. Obviously I'm A huge fan of who is is is everyone is known for my post, you know comments before but the team stepped up and you know Rightfully so they played outstanding They played out say I don't think it's going to help you with bangles fans that want to rip your head off when you say that You're so shocked that they won But you also covered it by saying you were at a charity event at a local high school So nobody can really come at you and you're doing stuff like that Well, as you as you know, okay, if if I worried about what other people thought or said about me Yeah, I wouldn't I wouldn't have played as long as I had or be who I am so We're all good I'm seeing this happen on twitter and I tweeted during during the game because it really did I'm not kidding. It didn't really happen. It happened a little once you said it But during the game when they were up 14 zip, it was like it wasn't about It was all just weddle. I'm not kidding. It was all the whole Fan base was just You know, I get it. Yeah, I get it like I'm my ex raven Uh, you know, we we had our great games and and you know that deep down I helped the rams went a super bowl. What's they're trying to do? I get it. They want to be in my spot I'm a champion. I get it It's all good. It's all good. I hope they get there. Eric. That's not it. What it was was this is the truth Uh, what it was and what I think most fans want an answer to I defended you in the way of I was writing to people on twitter Or even just tweeting I said Eric isn't bothered by this like everyone you got y'all like everyone should calm down because I know eric weddle and he's not sweating this whatever's happened like and but it was it wasn't That it wasn't that you picked the bills and it wasn't that you're a former raven It's that you said no chance and you eric are like, you know, most I know you pretty well by now We're at the end of the season, you know Both teams are paid to win anything can happen So you're usually and then you came out so hard for the bills and against the bangles no chance That's what happened. Why were you so adamant? Oh, I gave all those reasons because They were on their backup o-line and then more multiple o-line go down In the previous game against baltimore and I saw the second half of that baltimore game and how That game was in the crosshairs like, you know, I and I went on and said if that play doesn't happen Obviously, what is I don't like to say all that stuff, but baltimore was right there with them and Could have easily won that game and the way their defense was playing in the fourth quarter I said, I just thought how in the world is buffalo? Statistically have a week prepare for them Not going to be able to have the success that baltimore had yeah And and then I went back to just thinking about the Super Bowl, etc, etc And you know what? Hey, that's why and listen I was wrong, but I don't care. I know I'm retired I'm having fun. I'm coaching high school ball. I could care less What happens with bangles? I'm sorry Okay, but but as a former raven I you should feel some sort of way Because you I think helped the bangles get the win. I'm not even kidding Zach Taylor after the game goes. I'm scouring the internet for any bit of motivation. I'm not kidding DJ reader came on my show and he he wants to thank you for what you did I'm gonna watch you as a kid, especially with the no gloves was crazy to me, but Okay, zero chance bro. You know better than that. Come on man. Come on, dawg Who's just back here? What would you why would you even say that to us like that? You know those bad takes you know, that's bad locker room talk. You don't even go out like that You smarter than that. You wouldn't do that as the head coach of your high school. I know that I would listen. I would if I believed it And I have no qualms about that. So DJ I respect your your thoughts opinions But at the end of the day, that's what I thought in this great world We can think and say and do what we want and when we're wrong We admit we're wrong and I was wrong But I move forward and it's good. So I'm good. They're good. They're playing this weekend and have a great show I went in and should be an amazing game. So Let's talk about the bangles and not so much what an old retired has been for motivation like players And and head coaches are looking the internet for motivation I think that's completely off base quite honestly. So I wouldn't really worry about what I'm thinking. I'm worried about what my teammates and Going to be great on sunday and I and I you know, that's not them Like I know they got a great locker room staff like the defense corn louis like How is it not for up for a head coaching position? You know, like I don't know seriously like they have They're they're incredible in the run. They're on so Let's not let's not get into the motivation types of like you're trying on a super bowl So no not trying to prove Eric what all wrong like seriously Eric It's kind of funny I can't tell if we're making this better for making this worse, but I but I do think the motivation played a role I really do and not just from you. Well, that's good. But in general, right? So we need to get your pick now It's you know, it's patrick mohomes with the ankle And then and then listen just before you go we wrote up a little script I think I believe in the motivation if you just want to read this script that we wrote For you we just switched out the team. Do we have it? Can you just say this for us, please? No, because I don't believe it Okay, I'm not gonna say something. I don't believe fine This game honestly like the way they played the way burrow orchestrated Got the ball out the plan offensively the way they ran the football. It was just like Poetry in a sense as a football player and as a as a guy that loves the game and so impressive So, you know, you go back and forth our is bagnola I'm gonna sit back there and rush for and just play coverage like buffalo did I cannot in my right mind see that He's an aggressive bring an attack attack coach Uh, you know, Cincinnati's gonna play great defense. It's it's seriously a toss-up I I see both sides winning in certain ways And so I brought it I have a quarter Okay, and here we go. I'm gonna flip it What okay, I'll let you pick heads of tails And whatever it lands on is who I pick because really I think it's a 50-50 game You know, I can see both sides winning. I'm not, you know Hold up. Patrick Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes on a high ankle sprain. I know he's out there trotting around like that It's a 50-50 game with it in the bangles have won three Up against KC who's never gotten the win over jubro And now you've got a mobile quarterback who improvs all the time who can't plant his right leg Listen, Katie, this is the afc championship. Okay, and uh, you know, the the bangles have their shrinks The cheese have their shrinks, okay You obviously are a little biased with bangles fans No, I love the bangles They're in the background. I just now noticed that I didn't know I was gonna uh strike a chord last week with my No chance. I should have noticed that I didn't really notice that for the last 17 weeks, but Okay, flip the coin legend Let's go. Let's just say let's just look at this real quick. Okay. Let's give a little probey some love That is beautiful. I love that. I'll flip the coin. Okay heads is bangles heads is bangles win I'm not even gonna look I'm picking the chiefs for motivation for the bangles. Good luck You just completely you just completely crapped on motivation at all. I did I did because you know I don't need I don't need a coin. I don't need this and that bangles good luck chiefs They're gonna get y'all and if not then I'll come back and say I was wrong again and and in hindsight It'll be great for you off. I'm wrong. So good luck. It's so funny. Okay, travis I've talked to you about travis kelsey because I need to get into your mind here. Okay two touchdowns He's open. He's open on every play nfl record for catches Impossible to shut him down question mark. Well, how do you defend him slow him down or contain him? Well, it takes it takes everybody and you know, that's when I go back and forth with both teams like chiefs run through Kelsey and shot plays right and the bangles are so sound and they can match up If they take Kelsey away, then it then it almost becomes hardman hardman out of the backfield is their next I think weapon of choice that they like to get the ball to the receivers outside are Our good solid players, but are they a jamar chase? Are they tea higgins? No And that element that the bangles have the chiefs don't is something that could sway In the bangles favor, but kelsey is that dominant and and he's gonna beat one on one coverage Honestly, every third down i'm doubling him. I'm doubling him and making the ball go somewhere else in the red zone I'm doubling every play If it's single high and we're bringing five out that post player is doubling kelsey And my other guy's got to eat on the outside and make plays so the way elie apple is playing And talking on twitter. I mean you gotta like that match up on the edge So let's go you know, you know exactly what happens on twitter because you know elie apple is on twitter acting crazy You you're such a liar. Well, we gotta go. I have I have a group text with all my coaches and all my teammates And of course, of course, I know what's going on with players and whatnot. You know, jeez We have to go. We have to go. Look at the last time I tweeted. Okay. What's the last time? Don't argue with me. I'm I'm I'm supporting you quickly years ago quickly eagles niners Just pick the team we gotta get out of here. You love. Yeah, you love jaylon. You called him your player You rolled with him. You are right. Let's see if the eagles can get him in a home. Eric. What all you are the best Thank you for coming on. Let's be great. Have fun. Enjoy the game. You can go sub tweet and ghost tweet I know you have a ghost handle. I know you do.
