 What's up football fans, welcome to Fandall TV's more ways to win. We are here on Radio Row in Phoenix, Arizona. It's day four, thanks for hanging with us. I'm Lisa Kearney, we're getting you ready to bet Super Bowl 57. We've got the Chiefs, we've got the Eagles, and we've got literally everyone else in sports descended upon Arizona. We're gonna get to that. Happy Friday, we're wrapping up your work week getting you ready for the Super Bowl. And these are the guys that are gonna help you bet it. Former NFL wideout and Super Bowl champion, James Jones in the house. Sports betting expert, Dave Weaver. And of course sports talk radio host, Andrew Filiponi. We're breaking down a bunch of fun Super Bowl bets on the board at the Fandall Sportsbook. Guys, I am telling you, everyone has officially ended up in Arizona. Everybody, James knows. Everybody, I mean- And they all come up to James. And everybody, it's just, it's the place to be. Y'all don't make me seem big time, man. I'll walk up to them and introduce myself. They don't know me. They don't know me. But it's so fun seeing old colleagues, seeing all the players in house, former players, current players, holofamers. Everybody is milling around. And Dave's taking a picture with all of them. You should get all my selfies. Heck yeah! Soak it in, man. Soak it in, it's a special week. And along with all of us here in Phoenix, of course we have our NFL expert, Cole Wright joining us from Chicago to give us his sneak take. What's up, Cole? You said everybody's in Arizona, right? Oh. Crickets. Just the important people. We've had some amazing guests. We're going to get, we're going to get to Cole and let him, let the hymns us that out. But we have had so many great guests on the show this week and that continues today. We have all pro Edge rusher, Micah Parsons joining us on set. Yeah, he's only had 26 and a half sacks in his first two years in the league. We're going to talk to him about that. And Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields and electric talent. He'll also be here with us. Can't wait to talk to both them and get their picks on the big game. All right, you saw these guys. You see me here. We're ready to do this thing. More ways to win starts now. All right, so we're going to start this show with the total. Let's tackle that first. Set at 50 and a half has held steady really for most of the week, guys. The last four Super Bowls have gone under the total. So will this be five in a row? James, you played in Super Bowl 45, beat the Steelers 31-25, a large number there. Thanks for reminding me. So that went over. I had no idea. I just, I just, I have to bring the stats. You know me and the numbers. Give me this, your pick for this year's total. This one is this. You see a lot of offense? Yeah, this is definitely going over. I see a lot of offense, but it's one-sided, you know. So, but I do see a lot of offense in this one because Patty Mahomes is not going to go down without a fight. But I do think there's Philadelphia Eagles offense with what the Kansas City Chiefs do, right? And I have not seen a lot of coaches change, right? I've been a part of a lot of coaches to where this is what we do best. We don't care who we play. This is what we're going to do. And the man-to-man coverage that they play 80% of the time trying to stop Jalen Hertz's legs and AJ Brown and Devonte Smith out there. I just see some explosive plays. I see the Philadelphia Eagles putting up a lot of points. And then obviously, you know, Patty Mahomes is going to come back with his right hook. And he's going to say, hold on. And he's going to try to make this game close. They're going to put some points up. I see this being a lot of points scored in this ball game for the Eagles. And I think Patrick Mahomes comes back late, gets a couple scores, scores about 21 points. But this is going to be a good one. It's definitely going over. I got to ask you about that. You talk about Patty Mahomes and his hook and all the things that he does. That's absolute magic. But what about that offense as a whole? They go to Andy Reed and they're like, hey, man, we have this idea. All the time these guys are coming together. The ring around the rosy play. The ring around the rosy. You see him shifting, like rolling over, like doing all this crazy stuff. So we talked a lot this week about the coaching matchup and how it really could come down to coaching and what's in the toolbox for these different teams and offenses. So that could play a major part. Who knows with Kansas City's? That's a really good point. Because I guarantee you, the Philadelphia Eagles are probably not going to do anything like that and have a bunch of trick plays in there like that. They're going to come out here and do what they do. Number one, because Jalen Hurst has never been in this game. So we're not going to come in here and do anything crazy. We're going to do what we've been doing. And when you see this stuff that Andy Reed and the Kansas City Chiefs are doing, just all the trickery they do, you've seen the ring around the rosy and all this stuff, you see Travis Kelsey getting the snap and pitching it to Patty Mahomes, all that. That is because the trust you have in your quarterback. Patty Mahomes runs the ship. All the trust in Patty Mahomes to get them in the right play, any trickery you might do. Patty Mahomes is the guy that runs the ship and you're able to do that type stuff. And another reason you're able to do that type stuff is because you're winning, right? When you're winning, you're able to get creative and do some of that fun stuff. So I'm actually excited to see that because I'm assuming it will be something like that, especially when you get down in the red zone. That's when they get the most creative. And if they get down in the red zone to score points against this defense, you're going to have to do that. You're going to have to get creative a little bit, give them a bunch of different looks that they have not seen. So it'll be fun. Coach versus coach, you know what I mean? I'm picking the Eagles, but you got to give the edge to Andy Reed. I'm sorry, but he just did put on the record because we've had this battle all week long that experience actually has value. A little bit. Did he get there with that? I just said that a little bit, especially when you talk about that quarterback. Well, I think that the Andy Reed extra week to prepare thing is something that we haven't talked about. And his record coming off by weeks is ridiculously good. There it is. So from a scheming standpoint, I do think they'll have a few extra tricks up their sleeve. If you look at trends, and Dave, you're a trend better. We were talking about that last night. I'm not to cut you off real quick, Pony. What is Andy Reed's record in the Super Bowl? He's one and two. One and two, OK. He's one and two. I didn't know I was just asking. One and one for Kansas. Dave's a trend better. We were talking about this last night while he was stuffing his face with tacos. He had the tacos. I went into a lot of them. And if you look at trends with both of these teams, they've gone under in their games. So the last three for Kansas City, their games went under. And the last two for the Eagles. And I might have that flipped. But either way, these teams, the totals have been inflated because the odds makers expect points with the Chiefs and expect points with the Eagles. And those games have gone under. I think Super Bowl totals are always inflated because fans want to bet points, Lisa. They don't want to sit there on Super Bowl Sunday eating nachos and go, I hope it's 13 to 30 game. Routing for punts. Like it was four years ago. But I don't think they set this one high enough. I do think. There you go. If it's 27-24, which does not seem like a super high score, that still would get the game over. Yeah, it's a good sense of the tweet. I like over. We all like the over. But I think the reason is that either of these two teams are capable of scoring 40 on their best day. They've got the skilled players. Well, you've been trashing the Eagles having played the Sisters of the Poor. So you don't think they'll score. They'll give up 38. That's why the Chiefs will get 38. But the one thing about the Eagles, and Patrick Mahomes has said this many times, you never know who it's going to be that steps up today. It could be 15 different people that step up and are that hero on any given Sunday. And we'll see who it is. But I see a lot of touchdowns in this game. All right, we had tacos last night. Cole had deep dish. Cole, come on back, my man. Hey, how do you feel about this total? It's sitting at 50 and a half right now. Well, I had to sleep for dinner last night. That's pretty much what I was able to eat. But when it comes to Jane, I like when it comes to experience. He's going reciprocal fraction style. And he's lip flopping on. I'm going Andy Reid over Nick Siriani. But when it comes to that total, I'm going with the over. We talked about it all week long. And two of the last five, they've gone over the total when it comes to this Super Bowl's total. 74.16, 51.40 and 43. It's an average, I'm no math major or just a shade under 45. But like Pony said, this game, it's going to see a lot of scoring from front to back. Both teams are going to be very active offensively. I have to go with the over 58 points, 31.27 Kansas City. People be licking their fingers with barbecue sauce, Lisa. Come on, talk it out. I don't know where you are ready for that. It's 30 points that they know. No one called on you. You know what? Oh, great stuff by these guys. Great stuff by Cole. Thank you very much, guys. We have so much more coming up. Plenty more here, including Super Bowl player props. We'll get to that. But first, I got to tell you about the most anticipated kick of Super Bowl Sunday. It's Fandals kick of destiny for $10 million in bonus bets. That's right. Rob Gronkowski will attempt a field goal live in the third quarter of the Super Bowl. And you can get a piece of the $10 million in bonus bets. Just place a wager of $5 or more on Super Bowl 57 before kickoff, and you're going to receive a bonus. If Gronk kicks, the field goal makes good on that kick of destiny. Now, it does not matter if you're new to Fandal or already playing with us, everyone is eligible. Here it is. Gronk kicks you in. It's as simple as that. Limit one per person. And then go ahead and cheer on Gronk as he goes for glory in $10 million for Fandal Betters. Fandal TV is more ways to win live here at the Super Bowl and coming to you from Radio Row. Thank you for hanging with us. Up next, right here on our set, Bear's quarterback, and Justin Fields joins us. His former head coach, Matt Nagy, is on the chief staff now, but made headlines for something he said about fields this week. We're going to ask him about that plus. Fields reaction to that and much more coming up next. More ways to win here from Radio Row in Phoenix, Arizona. We are getting you ready for Super Bowl 57. We are days away from kickoff as we continue to count down here. And we're doing what we do. We always do. We get you ready. We're breaking down the game and to help us do that, I'm excited to welcome in a special guest to the more ways to win set here on Radio Row. Give it up for Chicago Bears quarterback, Justin. There you go. There you go. Appreciate you guys. Justin, good to see you, man. You look great. You say you feel great. Thank you. How's the offseason going? We'll get to the game stuff. But I've got to know what you've been up to. Yeah, it's been great. You know, the first few weeks I took off, you know, just trying to get my body right, just doing a bunch of rehab stuff. But, you know, just started training about a week and a half ago. So that's been going good. And of course, out here in AZ for the Super Bowl, enjoying my time out here. So I've definitely been enjoying myself for sure. Very good. Very good. I know these guys have a million questions for you. I'll stand that way. Justin, can you, after the season you had, is it fantasy or does it seem far-fetched for you to play in this game someday soon? Like, did this year make that dream closer to reality for you? I think so. You know, I think after playing, you know, this year in the games that I did play in, I think it gave me more confidence as a player. And I think I was just growing more confidently as a player, you know, each and every week. I think that's, you know, one of the most important things in, you know, wanting to win games and, you know, getting your guys to follow you, really just playing confidently and, you know, more consistent and being able to, you know, show up late in, you know, those big games where you need to, you know, late two-minute drive to win the game. So I think, you know, that's one thing that, you know, we want to get better at next year, for sure. I got to talk about your former coach, former head coach there, Matt Nagy, now quarterbacks coach there in Kansas City. We're going to get to that game. We're just going to inch there. But he had some really positive and awesome things to say about you this week in regards to your trajectory in this league. And he said he's going to win a Super Bowl. He is the player that can take you to a Super Bowl. Super high praise from your former coach there. And he said that because of your development, year to year to year. When you hear that from your coach and your former coach and that someone, someone that's worked that closely with you, what is your reaction to that? Yeah, you know, it just fuels me more just to see him and him say that and him believing, you know, my potential in, you know, making it to the Super Bowl, winning a Super Bowl. I mean, it's awesome to see. So, you know, I really don't need any more motivation, but that just gives me more motivation to, you know, just work even harder to, you know, be able to make one, one day, one, one, one day. You know, this is the first year that it's black quarterbacks, matching up against each other, head to head. What does that mean for all the young kids that's playing quarterback, the young black kids playing quarterback for you yourself, you know, to see this. Jalen Hurst, Patty Mahomes, you know, being the first, you know, black quarterbacks to compete against each other in the Super Bowl. Yeah, I mean, it's awesome. I remember when I was seven, eight years old, you know, growing up watching Michael Vick play, Cam Newton play. And I mean, it's just awesome to see, you know, where, you know, this league has gone to, you know, more black quarterbacks in the league being successful. So it's really awesome to see. And, you know, I'm very happy for Jalen and, you know, Patrick, of course, to be in another Super Bowl. But I mean, it's really awesome to see. And I hope it gives, you know, young black kids, you know, more hope to play quarterback. I got one more for you. Coach Luke Getze was my receiver coach in Green Bay before he went over there with you guys. And, you know, you've seen splashes to where y'all looked unstoppable. Obviously, you using your legs, your arm and all that. Y'all looked unstoppable. And I keep hearing you guys say, we ain't even open to playbook yet, you know? So coming in year two with Coach Luke, you know, with you being more comfortable, how do you see the offense looking? Yeah, I mean, you know, going back on this year, you know, this first year was as an OC. So I think he had to just get a feel of what we did best as an offense. So, you know, I think week five, week six, he kind of, you know, we kind of got on the same page. So, I mean, we had a run to where, you know, we were putting up 30 points of game for four, five weeks. So, you know, I mean, he's a great mind and an even better person. So to have him as my, you know, offensive coordinator and just to have him in the quarterback room every day, it's awesome. And, you know, I think we're just going to get to know each other better, build our relationship more. And, you know, I'm excited to be in the same offense for a consecutive year, rather than, of course, having to learn a new one. But it's going to be awesome. And, you know, just having him with me, he's one of the, he's really one of the smartest coaches I've been around. So, he's a really smart guy, a really good guy, and I'm excited for the future for sure. There's some games where you throw the ball 11 times. There's other games where you throw it almost 40 times. As a quarterback, I'm sure you want to sling it. You know, is that, is that based on the way that the game's going? Or do you, you know, do you say, coach, let me throw the ball and they're just trying to let you have some time? Yeah. I mean, if you know Luke, he's really all about feel. So, he's going to feel it out. He's going to kind of get a sense of how the game's going and get a sense of, you know, what we're doing well, what we're not doing well, and then, you know, call the play, call the plays based on that. And so, he's really based on feel. He's not a guy that's, you know, going to, you know, just automatically call, you know, plays in certain situations. So, really filling out the game kind of, seeing the flow in, you know, he makes his calls. Justin, you would have games, like there was a stretch of the season this year where you were setting records every week. Like one week it would be most rushing yards. The next week it would be longest run. Yeah. When you would get under center, what were defenses doing to try to account for your dual threat ability? Yeah. One thing the Eagles did, and, you know, most teams, they spied with the linebacker. You know, the Eagles, for the first time I've seen, they spied with the DB. And that's the first time I've seen that, you know, just to get a, you know, faster guy on me. You know, a more guy that's more agile back and forth, you know, horizontally. So that's the first time that I've seen that. And, you know, that's just one thing that a team has done. And then another thing is, you know, that five-man front with the outside linebacker just playing me the whole time, not letting me pull the read option at all. So, you know, they try to, you know, stop me in the read option game. But, you know, when they do do that, it's just my job to take him with me and let the running back work. So, you know, as long as I'm doing my job, taking one or two guys away, then, you know, I'm good with it. So, yeah. Your legs have been doing a lot of that work. Second-most rushing yards in a season for a quarterback. Matt, I know, Matt Props. Yes, take a week off of it after the season and let your legs chill there for a minute. Congratulations on that. Bears have a very high draft pick coming up, second overall. Version number one. Excuse me, number one. Yes, excuse me, number one. When you look at the prospects out there, put your GM hat on. Who's coming to Chicago? That's the tough question right there. I don't know. I feel like, you know, I don't know the ins and outs of our defense. I don't know what we need most as a, you know, defense. So, I think it's, you know, it's tough on me to actually say that. But, you know, I think it's, I'm glad I'm not in his position, so I don't have to make the decision. But, yeah. So, I'm probably going to plead the fifth on that because I don't know. Justin, does it, but... Nobody's a fault, if you just say it. Give me a wide receiver. You're going to say it. Just give me all those weapons. Yeah, I mean, give me a shoe. Everybody in the league. Justin, does it bug you when you hear, like, I'm a talking head. That's what I do. Yeah. But did it bother you when you guys got the first pick that there was a conversation like, well, should they use the pick on a quarterback and trade, Justin? Yeah. It's like, what was your... I know how the media works. Like, I know how the media works. So, you know, they're going to come up, they're going to talk about every scenario that could happen. And, you know, it's just the reality of, you know, the world we live in today. So... But you don't think that's real, right? Like, that's just us. I'm not sure. You know, this is a business, you know, I've heard of plenty of guys, you know, not thinking that they're going to get traded and boom, next thing you know, they're gone. So it's a business. But I try to focus on the controllable. So, you know, whatever happens with me, I'm going to approach the game the same. I'm going to, you know, work hard and, you know, just control what I can control. Well, first off, Pony shouldn't say us, because the us is tripping, right? We know you to franchise quarterback. But I don't know how you do, like, I don't even know if you one of them do is that goes out there on Twitter and try to recruit and all that type stuff. The only reason why I say that is yesterday we had a dude by the name of DeAndre Hopkins up here. And the trade rumors for him is real. So for me, I would love to see you, hey, Hop, send a little eyes or something. You know, come on over here. Because we all know what you bring to the table. And if you can have a guy like him on the outside that can make the tough catch, who really is always open if, you know, it ain't no 50-50 ball, it's a 90-10 ball with Hop. You know what I mean? So to get a guy in a weapon like that on top of how you guys run the football, I think that often will take off. So I don't know if you recruit, but I'll just get you aware, yes, and let you know. Come on and play with your bull. I'd rather talk to the guy in person. Yeah, you're like, no, no. I'll shoot him a text. Here's some fun trivia, because a sports barrel company named LIDS, I think everybody knows what LIDS is, came out with some numbers this week revealing Jersey sales. There were more Justin Fields jerseys sold in Wisconsin than Aaron Rodgers. Ooh! James, how's that hit you, brother? Is that the takeover? Is that the takeover? Justin, how do you feel about that? I mean, I just shows you that, you know, we have some Bears fans in Wisconsin. There's a lot of Bears fans. You know, a lot of Bears fans up there. So, you know, I mean, that's awesome. It's honestly a blessing. And I'm just grateful for the amount of fans that we have, you know, our fans in Chicago and really all across the world. So it's an honor. It's cool to see a Bears player and a Packers player get along. No doubt about it. Every time, love is love, man. You know what I mean? If you ain't on that football field, man, love is love. I don't know how you live in Green Bay. Like, there's... It ain't nothing. Why you think I'm out here? Hey, Justin, James just told us they got a David Buster's fight. We got a David Buster's. We're making our way up, man. But no, we had a conversation about it yesterday. That's why it's hard to really get a lot of big-time free-ages in Green Bay. Because if you came from Chicago or came from Dallas or Atlanta and that plane landed in Green Bay, you like, man, take this thing off again, man. I ain't gonna play here. So it's tough, I mean, because it's nothing to do, man. But I want to talk to you a little bit about the game, right? You got not Justin Fields. You got Jalen Hertz. You got Patty Mahomes. Who do you give the advantage to at the quarterback spot? You know, they both different quarterbacks. Yeah, I think, you know, just based off of experience, I think you got to go with Patty. You know, he's been in multiple Super Bowls before. You know, he knows what it's like. Jalen's a great player. He's a great quarterback. You know, he's mentally strong. He's played in big games before in college. So I'm sure this, you know, this stage at this level won't faze him at all. Now, I've heard defense coordinators say that they don't lose sleepover guys like Aaron Rodgers and Patty Mahomes. The guys they lose sleepover is the Justin Fields, the Lamar Jackson's, the guys like that. So how do you think that this Kansas City Chief's defense is gonna be able to slow down and stop Jalen Hertz? I think one, they got to stop the run. I think, you know, Philly, I think their offense runs off of the run and, you know, based on how well they run the ball. And then, number two, I think Kansas City has to stop, you know, AJ and Devonte. They play a lot of man-on-man coverage. So I think their DBS are gonna have to come up big in the game. So they got a lot of rookie players. So it should be a fun matchup. You know, Justin knows why we're laughing because he's all polished. He's being so nice. But we have this rivalry going on because we were talking about it on the commercial break. So I got to know. You said a lot of nice things about both sides there. Who's winning on Sunday? If I was a bad man, I'd bet on the Eagles. Ooh! I know it's Kansas City's team. I'd have to bet on the Eagles. I think, you know, Kansas City's beat up a little bit. They had a few injuries last week and I just read something that they got a few players sick. I think, you know, their depth is crazy in the D-line. So I think the Eagles are gonna pull this one out. I thought we had a thing on. I thought we were doing it. I've never been to Kansas City. Okay. All right. Justin Fields everybody. Chicago Bears quarterback. Thank you for joining us. We appreciate you all. Thank you all. Love having Justin Fields here on the show with us. Great dude. Great insight. And we have another great guest coming up here on More Ways to Win. Dallas's dominant edge rusher, Michael Parsons will be here on the set. Justin Fields is out. Michael Parsons is gonna be right there in that seat. Coming up here on More Ways to Win. So stay with us. We're gonna ask him how to stop Jalen Hertz and that Philly offense. So stick around for his answer coming up here on the show as we get you ready from Radio Row here in Phoenix. I want to get you a quick reminder as well. We'll be right back to you. From the Super Bowl leading you right up to kickoff on Sunday. We're gonna be here all week long. You can watch us Saturday and Sunday morning right here on Fandle TV at 8 a.m. Eastern time. So make sure to tune in for more great betting content and guest appearances. We'll be back right after a quick break. Y'all are the best. Thanks for hanging with us. Welcome back to Fandle TV's More Ways to Win. When hanging here all week long in Phoenix, Arizona, we are getting you ready to bet Super Bowl 57 and the line on this one has been holding. We're still telling you on Friday Eagles giving one and a half to the Kansas City Chiefs. Guys, it's a tight window sitting there at one and a half. Here we go and we're gonna bet it. Dave coming to you first. Oh yeah. One and a half. Let's set the tempo here that the Chiefs are the team to beat and are not the favorite. You're gonna give Patrick Mahomes points. Yeah, defensively, Philadelphia seems like they've had a very good year when you look at their numbers. But again, they have not played anybody like what they're going to be seeing here on Sunday. The only quarterback that you would consider an upper echelon quarterback that they faced second half of the year was Dak Prescott and he threw for 347 yards and beat the Eagles. So, you know, to me with Gardner a little bit overrated right now. Gardner meant you should not be favored against Kansas City who already has a Super Bowl win of late. Of course, the Eagles did win one, but that was not with Jalen. Patrick Mahomes, he knows how to get it done and he will. I just... Nice jacket, by the way. I don't know. I don't... Defense wins championships and I have this ring on my finger pony because you know one of the biggest plays in that ball game is Clay Matthews blasting the football out of Mendenhall, right? First play of the fourth quarter. First play of the fourth quarter, we needed a stop and the defense showed up. What happened early in that ball game? They threw it up, pick six, right? Defense wins championships. The last time to Kansas... No, not the last time. The first time Patrick Mahomes was in the Super Bowl, they were losing 20 to 10 in the fourth quarter. Who showed up? The defense to get Patrick Mahomes that football back, right? The best defense on the football field clearly is the Philadelphia Eagles. I don't see how they give up big points, but I do see how they score big points. This is definitely going over, but all these points is coming from Philly. I'm telling you, I want to do a show after because I'm going to look back to myself like I don't think Patrick Mahomes is going to get blowed out, but I think he's going to get blowed out. That makes any sense to me. You're not wrong about the players. I mean all three levels of defense for the Eagles. There is no weakness. It's absolutely right. How good that defense is. It's up to Annie. It's up to that offense to get creative and do something that the Eagles haven't seen. But the crazy thing is with that being said, that's why I'm saying it could be a blowout is because Patty Mahomes has no weaknesses. So it's going to be a great matchup. Dave keeps harping on who the Eagles play. That's right. Can you at least admit that the Chiefs are lucky to be here? Referees? If not for Joseph Asai pushing a guy out of bounds, that game probably goes to overtime. We saw what happened in the AFC championship game the year before when it went to overtime. Don't make a face at me, Lisa. Don't write about that. They changed the rule though on that. And the other thing is if the Chargers don't blow one of the biggest leads in playoff history, that'll be a good game. They played the Chiefs close every time. Especially in Arrowhead. Yeah. So I just don't think Kansas City has the best player but the Eagles are the best team. Cole? Cole, come in here and help us out. What you got for this one? One and a half points spread. Who do you like? I'll tell you what, there's things you question like Russell Wilson's charitable foundation, the authenticity of DJ Khaled's hair and beard color, but you do not question Kansas City and Patrick Mahomes' offense and their ability to put points up there on the board because I'm going to Kansas City all day long, eight days a week, 31, 27. We've been talking about it all week long and I'm sticking to my guns here. My heels, they're dug into the sand. Sorry, DJ Khaled and Russell Wilson. I like it. I like it.

That's next. Stay with us to win from Super Bowl 57. It has been an awesome week here in Phoenix with all the biggest stars in town and I told you at the top of this show, we've got more big ones coming and speaking of right now I want to welcome in a big time baller and special guest with us here on the more ways to win said he is a two time first team all pro edge rusher Dallas Cowboy, Micah Parsons on set Micah. Thanks for being here. Thank you. Thank you. I was an all pro linebacker for all pro linebacker. Yeah, I got to let him know I was a linebacker. Yeah, you need to update your we just know you a baller. We just you make play. I think I'm going to create a new position. What's that going to be? I don't know. I'm still thinking the hybrid the hybrid of all hybrids. Yeah, like how they got it for like special teams. Yeah, that's why I have my own category. So you're going to have another defensive team. I'm not afraid to put me at like linebacker, but it's also not fair to put me at age. Yeah. Yeah, like I need like a flex deflex deflex how they got often flex like you got two receivers and you got the slide. So maybe once maybe once they see you at detackle one time, then they'll create a whole different. Yeah, you got to go to detackle one time and it'll be deflex because they like we'll know what to put it in a plate tackle. He done played deflex. Yeah, I like that too. Yeah, Mike came up with a deflex. I like it. OK, so we're going to get to the game. We're going to talk about the Chiefs and Eagles. We're going to do the whole thing. But how are you doing? How's it off season going? How you feeling? What you've been doing lately? Man, I've been spending time with my family and just trying to recover and a little bit in the mix, little in the mix, but really just trying to stay low key. Think about what I really want to do and make my plan of what I want this off season and how I'm going to get it. So that's been the main thing. I think before you say, hey, this is what I want to do next year. I wish the plan of the off season. When am I going to start transitioning to each phase? And that's what I'm working on right now. Is that numbers oriented? Like are you saying I want to get 20 sacks or I want to win a Super Bowl? Or is it a combination of both and congratulations by the way, 26 and a half sacks and it looks like you're having so much fun out there. But there's probably that mindset where you're not having fun. It's all business. What makes you so dominant and is it fun or is it business or a combination? Man, it's fun when you keep it about straight business. Let me break that down to you. So if you're handling your business and you're doing what you got to do, it's fun. But when you're not doing what you got to do, it gets very frustrating. So handling your business creates a lot of fun. So I would say it's straight business out there from you don't see too much smiling, you don't see too much you can't see like this all game. Well I played for Coach Mike for eight years in Green Bay. Obviously won a Super Bowl with Coach Mike. And Coach Mike kind of get a bad rap. If y'all not doing well, all the stuff is coming down on Coach Mike what Coach Mike ain't doing. If you guys are doing well, Coach Mike don't really get too much credit. You know what I mean? So just playing for the last couple years you know kind of let us in on is Coach Mike that coach that could get y'all to the Super Bowl? What's kind of your impressions of Coach Mike? Man Coach Mike was nothing but amazing to us players and around the facility in terms of taking care of his players taking care of the bodies. I love them late Wednesdays. I say start at 12 every day. Coach Mike he a true like we know I believe he knows what it takes to get to the Super Bowl and how it was won. We got to talk about Dan Quinn. DQ coached my husband back with the Seahawks. Worked with him on the offensive line Patrick Kearney. He went on to Atlanta and did his thing as a head coach. DQ has learned a lot of respect in this league. He's a great coach and I know that personally. A great candidate too for another head coaching position that would impact you. Talk to us a little bit about DQ and how he's impacted your career. Believe it or not me and DQ throughout the whole drive process didn't talk one time. He already knew though. So the moment I came in he just sat me down I was like I don't need you to be a guy I need you to be the guy. I didn't invest into just to be regular. I invested in you so you could be a person that's going to change this defense. I believe you could do it because I mean if you look at how he schemes Bobby was that focal point of his defense. Dion Jones the year he was a pro bowler he was the focal point of defense. So he kind of like I'm going to put you in a position to be very successful but I need you to do everything in a possible way to make that happen for me. And then I think over time of the period I was just showing him things that was bigger than what he's had seen or he's ever dealt with before and I think that's when I really went under his wing like it was like oh like you're fast cool. He's like oh you could rush now too. And he stepped like he just slowly so then he came to me was like well I know you're young but how much can you take. I was like DQ I could take it off. You tell me I'm going to be great. I mean I'll just keep feeding it to me just keep giving me one plate, one plate, one plate and eventually my plate was this high and we was both looking at him he's like can you still do it. I was like I think I can still do it. I believe in you but the more you can just let me know and I would just say the faith because you even got some place so high it's a good chance that it could fall but he believed in the process and he believed in me that the place wouldn't fall. So I always give him like all the credit of how he's developed me how he's changed me. He's never he's never treated me different but he's never from anyone else but he also treats me different than everyone else. I got to ask you though because he told all the other teams he said no I'm staying put and he announced that and said don't come talk to me because we have quote unfinished business. What did that mean to you? So I was like because after during you know during the postseason I was like AQ like listen this is the second year again I'm asking you again I said I understand I said if you leave I'll come with you brother I request my trade and I'll be on my way he's like he's like he was like nah brother me and you are wearing this together and I was defending Merrill he was like oh no Q was leaving he's going to get that head coach down I said bro I would Q leave he got everything he needs right here and for him it's not about the money it's about the group of guys he's bringing the free agents guys and he buys everyone into the process and when he decided to stay I texted me before he even put it out he's like you know I wasn't leaving unfinished business let's get this Superbowl together I was like you damn right brother well I'm letting you know if you say that again that if DQ leave you leaving he's going to have 50 jobs everybody going on from knowing that when my job he coming with him I probably should have said that out loud I can't say that at all next year and then they're going to be waiting when you have free agents to go ahead and get you man hey they might say like eight first rounds for me hey Michael let me be the first person on stage to give you the official greeting we are we are Penn State guys from Pennsylvania that's the way they introduce each other you're great on social media your twitter account just cracks me up some of the stuff you put out there but I had to get your take on this so after you guys lose the San Francisco game the Cowboys twitter account sent out a tweet that like ripped Dak for his interceptions I don't know if you saw that it's like Dallas could have won the game if not for the back breaking interceptions from Dak Prescott like did you think the criticism of him after that game was over the top like what's your take on that whole reaction to the ebbs and flows of Dak Prescott's play um it it's definitely wasn't right um from like it's tough I'll help myself from speaking on it I might have to help myself again from speaking on it just because of like it was a combination like like because I know it wasn't like Jerry that put it out it's the Cowboys media like everyone's media it was the Cowboys media that did it it was the Cowboys media that went from the office that put that out but you know it's the world we live in the media when he threw that when that Bugs game when he was on fire oh this is the Dak we love this is the Dak we as soon as Dak slipped up again oh he's back breaking interceptions cost us to play all of us it's the world we live in my mom got no sex and their game plan was just a little bit better than mine oh this guy isn't as good as he's overrated he's not that good so speaking of Twitter you did something I see this in college football if Alabama is in the SEC championship game Georgia's like our national championship game Georgia's like SEC there's SEC pride you told Lane Johnson get a ring for the NFC East I've never seen that before that's a pride man that's a new one we are the best division in football Dave's been killing your division by the way I hate to single him out but he said weak division no one predicted the Cowboys that it could be as good this year no one predicted the Giants or the commanders to be as good but we are you know like it's more of a respect thing so just like if you were like I'm big into wrestling you know the best wrestler and the thing and he so happens to beat you right or you know or you lost to someone you weren't supposed to and your homeboys over there and he's the best wrestler but you knew you had a chance to beat him are you gonna say damn I hope my homeboy lose no are you gonna say man I hope you'll get that ring you deserve that bro you worked hard for it so like the childish mentality of the media is pretty bad I'm with the oh just because I felt doesn't mean I won't root for my homeboys D. Slay is my homeboy Lane Johnson was the first person that ever asked me for a jersey he knew who I was going to be before anyone else so to me Lane has always treated me even in the off season we would reach out over Instagram and stuff he always treated me like a big bro even like so to me I have the utmost respect for Lane like when we first played the Eagles after that Chargers game and played D.N. he was like hey Mike even though I didn't even have like a crazy game we just had a good combative game he was like I want your jersey and this was in the middle of the game and I was like really like my jersey lane I was from the trade with Miles Sanders because this was Penn State but he's like I want your jersey so to me Lane has always treated me never did anything dirty always played a game clean so I was like I'm rooting for my homeboy here if I'm in the NFC I'm rooting for the NFC to win I don't want the AFC to win but speaking of quarterbacks they talked to you about Dak a while ago you and Mel was on the podcast together and got a lot of media attention you said that it really wasn't Jalen Hertz it's the team around him it's the O-line and all that my question to you is since you said that Gardner Mentchew came in the game and the Eagles look terrible has your opinion changed on Jalen Hertz since Gardner Mentchew came in and they went on to and looked absolutely terrible in the office are you still saying that Jalen Hertz is who he is because of what's around no I wouldn't change I stand on to what I say um I would put like this Gardner Mentchew threw for 300 plus on us now was those I would say now all those interceptions they had four turnovers that game are we going to say they were all Gardner Mentchews Jalen Hertz didn't have four turnovers though but I'm saying but the running back also had two turnovers they had the running backs from the three times so you sticking by saying Jalen Hertz is not really the one steer you know football okay I'll put like this I'm a defensive guy so I'm always going to go for defense would you say the Eagles have a top three defense in the league really good defense that's why I'm picking them in this game okay okay listen to me where would you rank their offensive line uh gotta be I would put their offensive line at one okay cool cool cool alright where would you rank the receiving court receiving court I gotta sit here and think about Smith and Brown I mean they top five just off the top of my head I don't want to just say they number one or two because I don't want to leave them but they top five I would even go top two I see you're going here the only duo that I would even compete is Jamar and T Higgins but you going off of saying they got good players right okay listen where would you rank their corners James Bradbury and Slay they have the best corner duo but what I'm saying is you could say the same about Slay and Bradbury the reason why they having a good year is because the people in front of them the pass rush and that's a thousand percent you know what I'm saying but you're going to rate Darius Slay up there with the top corners no D Slay has been in the top corner for the past Bradbury this year up there with the top corners now that's something you could say oh that was off the consensus of Slay you know but he deserves he had a great year listen all the things when you have two corners you don't have to travel but my thing is when you have I know they getting us off but when you have a duo like Jalen Hurts and you are winning a bunch of ball games and then the backup comes like people could sit here and say ain't that good the team around him because of Cooper Rush came in the game and one game did he win games on his right arm no y'all was playing out of your mind but he's still one game where would you place Purdy that's what I'm saying so would you say Purdy's in the top five but he won all those games you're going to have to debate no no no they're cutting us off I'm with you I hear what you're saying are the Eagles winning if my home's magic is great I like my home's I can never bet against my home's I would never bet on the game safe bet don't bet on the game they're going to keep talking Michael Parsons everybody thank you so much for being here we're going to take a quick break we'll be right back man we could have won it we have one minute left in this show and we've been talking about this game all week long who's your one X factor in this game I've asked you everything else but I got to know who your X factors are X factors is the name that everybody knows and it's Jason Kelsey if he can stop Chris Jones from wrecking this game it's over my X factor is a guy that draws mustaches on people's faces when they fall asleep and he draws that place Andy Reed is going to come with some stuff that you're not expecting I'll give you a positional group Eagles linebackers how involved are they going to be in making sure Kelsey doesn't go off in this game Cole who's your X factor in this game well hopefully Andy Reed drew a winning mustache on Isaiah Pacheco because we know how I feel about him a record university he'll be representing all right my X factor guys is the guy that is going against Jason Kelsey and it has been all week that's a good X factor Chris Jones he's going to change this game he's going to have to
