 Oh, we're on the air here we go. We are this close this close people defining out this year Super Bowl matchup We cannot wait. I'm going to bring you the best information the best of the best on the four teams Marissa Contapelli with Cincinnati B. J. Kissel joining us with the cheap side of things Stats gots a stats Stats gots is covered on the Niners side and Philly legend We're honored to have John Clark on the Eagles side Giving us all of the info these are the people that are with the teams right now today With them they with them yesterday. They know the vibes in the latest injury reports Hayden Hurst randomly injured We got to get into that and speaking of Philadelphia in John Clark Boston Scott is an absolute Giants killer. Can he be a Niners killer? I ask him and he joins the show in a bit I cannot wait. I love him and it's Friday. So you know what you're getting you're getting K makers I got two beers apparently to choose from Brian Barton my great producer gave me weekend vibes Which I appreciate and he gave me this because he thinks whatever this monstrosity is it looks like a bangle your thoughts On Twitter. Let's go. That looks like a tiger. That looks like The DC comic guy. No, is it a hell it has Hellcat Brew dog Hellcat. So if you put a brew dog and a Hellcat together, do you get a Cincinnati bangle? Those are the questions we answer here on up and Adams We are so excited just to it sleeps away from action on championship weekend and we got to talk about a couple of these things because I'm a little nervous. I found out that I have to fly to Dallas for work on Sunday in and out of Dallas, okay, and there's a chance. I know my producers like really Yeah, there's a chance that I might miss the start of the Niners game the Niners Eagles game I've never been in this sort of situation with a high-stakes game What do y'all do when your kid has a soccer game and you need to watch the big Do you not do you turn Twitter off is your phone off? So nobody texts you and you you do I have to learn how to use a Tivo and be able to record it or whatever Richardson watch my phone, but I'm actively working. It's not like I'm sitting in the back So you're at the soccer game watching your kids Watching the game while your kids trying to score goals out there. I couldn't do that. What's the plan though? I'm serious. You guys let me know do I have to learn how to record the game? Do I say I don't have to watch it. I'll follow along on Twitter I've done that with some regular season games So I'm all out of sorts here help me out at up and Adam show at hey K Adams What do I do if I'm set to miss some of that first game on Sunday? Now yesterday, I did provide you with some game changers in the NFC championship game We talked about Niners defensive coordinator D'Amico Ryan's we talked about Eagles tight end Dallas Goddard and today I want to hit you with the AFC side of things and let's start with the chiefs and I'm gonna say that the game changer here that's going to have an effect is the decision-making of General manager Brett beach and I know he won't be out there battling to win this thing dressed up on Sunday But in order for the chiefs to pull this off It's the bold moves of beach and when he did this off-season and those guys that he added the rookies Especially that need to ball out and continue to pay off Listen, it's one thing to build a good team and win a Super Bowl And it's another thing to be able to sustain any sort of level of dominance in this NFL and go to five straight AFC title games and you're dealing with Injuries roster turnover your star player is having to get paid year after year after year with the salary cap So you have to make really tough decisions as a GM. I could never do it I would never want to do it He had to make the decision think about it Brett beaches at his table He's got it probably like customized stationaries personalized stuff and he's sitting there He's got the eight TVs on and all the channels and he's like watching highlights to of Tyra Hill and saying I I think it's in the best interest of this team And what we want to do to deal away the cheetah those are the decisions that end up defining you your legacy and your success In this league do you want to be a legend do that? Get rid of Tyra Hill and play for a chance to be in the Super Bowl listen to beach back in April talking about his Philosophy heading into the draft in the aftermath of course of said Tyra trade. I Think it's we've shown every every indication of you know We're going with this thing and we're gonna build through the draft and having 12 picks and having flexibility year in and year out is something That we're certainly putting a lot of stock in and like I said, we're excited to add Town on both sides of football and work the draft and get young and get deep and in theory It's all good and well great theory. Of course. We're gonna do it But in order for that to work you have to nail draft picks nailing draft picks That's so hard to do and you have to use that flexibility to make really savvy free agent additions So as we know that's way easier said than done, but it's exactly what that guy does trick talking did and accomplished So let's start with the draft picks bring them up here. This is outrageous This draft class has combined to start 66 games KC hasn't allowed a three-inch yard passers since McDuffie's been healthy Karloftus has six sacks and his emerge is one of the best young passers in the entire NFL Jalen Watson He has two interceptions that have been two of the biggest plays of this chief season Those three rookies are full-time starters and they're gonna have a big hand and trying to slow down Joe Borough on Sunday and let's not forget about their last pick in the draft Isaiah Pacheco Isaiah Pacheco is everywhere now. He's completely taken over the backfield. So we've seen teams, but you know there Let's get a lot of draft tricks and turn it into something and it turns into a big fat zero Nothing in year one beaches group has already made a massive impact in getting this team to another AFC championship It is so impressive. It's crazy. And then Beach talked about having flexibility So let's see what he did with that flexibility. None of these moves made national headlines But none of them broke the bank either and they've all made this team better and significantly I think the chiefs have the most depth on any team in the NFL right now We're not even talking about it the most depth and it's really in thanks to Beach's ability to completely retool Refigure recalibrate this roster without sacrificing The ability to contend out the gate it has been so brilliant So we'll see which one of the new additions pays off the most on Sunday And if they're you know enough to any one of those guys are all three of those guys together for those guys if they can get KC to another Super Bowl That would be insane and super impressive and I just hope everyone's sort of paying attention to that I gave how he rose minutes love so I felt like then rent Beach really needs his flowers We were looking into it earlier this week So let's bring in somebody who knows these chiefs better than anyone the brains behind Kansas City Sports Network B.J. Kissel Am I wrong Brett Beach, baby? No, I don't think you're wrong at all I think he doesn't get enough credit for what he did even a couple years ago and then information you just brought was fantastic But even a couple years ago after that loss to Tampa Bay Offensive line being a problem in that game the way that he completely revamped the chiefs offensive line in one off-season Drafting Creed Humphrey and drafting and Trey Smith and signing Joe Tooney. He's done it before We saw it happen again this off-season and what they've got from this rookie class It's just been special to watch and has really set them up from a roster composition standpoint Drafting Jalen Watson and Trent McDuffie rookies on rookie cornerbacks on rookie deals I should say and not having to pay those guys in free agency allows you so much roster flexibility and free agency over the next Few years that this thing is really set up to be pretty special for what the chiefs are able to accomplish Even after the last five years in the five straight AFC championship games It's so true and I'll be the first one to say and be honest that when that Tyreek Hill trade happened I was like, oh, I don't know man leaving it to the draft that is a crap shoot You never know how it's gonna work out and it completely has been just incredible casey is an 83 and 28 record in beaches six seasons Okay, guys six AFC West titles five AFC title appearances like BJ is saying all right now BJ BJ BJ We have seen the grainy gym photos We've seen the zoom ins on his feet James Palmer and the phone number redoing the walk all of this press conferences all that From from who you've talked to in the sense you're getting how much of a factor with the high ankle sprained B for Mahomes on Sunday I don't think we can pretend that it's not going to be some kind of a factor It's just gonna be interesting to see how Patrick Mahomes can kind of hold himself back or protect that ankle I was watching a replay of the AC championship game from last year and there were a handful of plays Especially in the first half that Mahomes made where he was Turning and twisting and doing all those crazy plays that we see outside the pocket I just don't know if he's going to be able to do the same thing But I've been saying all week on Casey sports network that you give Andy Reid eight days To prepare and game plan knowing the variables that are going to be there trust in the fact that He's going to have a game plan that's going to find success at some level for the chief's offense But it's really interesting to see especially early the first few times that maybe the first or second reeds taken away And he tries to escape the pocket Do we see the the ankle cause any kind of an issue there or does Mahomes try to protect himself A little bit there by just going down and not putting himself in a position to take a hit Like he did against ardent key in the Jags last week Because you've talked to Patrick Mahomes before k I know that telling him not to play the game the way that he's always played It's going to be interesting that mental side versus the physical and kind of how they play that out But I trust Andy Reid will have something dialed up As a way for the chief's offense to find some success against a very very good Bengals defense I do too. And you know if this was any if he was less than 100% everyone's always saying oh one legged Mahomes is better than anyone if it was against any team in the a of c west Sure, I wouldn't even be worried But this Bengals team for whatever reason and you can give me your thoughts on it They've consistently been able to get the better of the chiefs. It's crazy What do you attribute that to and what does k c have to do differently? I think it's simple They they made plays at the end of the game when it counted the chiefs didn't do that We saw especially last year in the a of c title game the second half was probably one of the worst halves that we've seen from this chiefs team under Andy Reid and Every game that the chiefs have lost there's been so much talk and so many things that have been said this week Between the fan bases and all that That the chiefs have had leads in the second half They haven't been getting blown out and so this the chiefs are getting dominated and all that I don't believe that that's the case but the Bengals have definitely made plays when it counted late in the game The chiefs had opportunities in that game Chris Jones talked about it at the end of last season or after they lost the a of c title game He talked about it at training camp that he let he feels like he personally left a lot of plays out on the field that he should have made And that was the difference and the the Bengals made those plays and loot and aromo May have the best game plan that we've seen against Andy Reid with so many guys that are used Defensively for those Bengals players. They're used so well to their strengths that it's definitely going to be a battle All of the games have been close expect this one to be close Really curious on the chess match of the the ankle situation and how do the chiefs call it and how do the Bengals try and play Schematically against that knowing he might not get outside the pocket and do some of those things that have come to define What we've seen from Patrick Mahomes throughout his career. You're right coach. Lootis has a knack for this He did it to Josh Allen. He's like high powered amazing Quarterbacks. He just like is a bit of a nightmare for them KC sports network. You're outside somewhere or and we're at where our what is KC sports network up do right now So actually in Las Vegas right now covering the east west shrine. Well, we uh, we're out here doing the nfl draft content We pride ourselves at KC sports network having phenomenal draft content and because it just so happens that this event happens Right before the a c championship. We bought our whole crew out here seven of us out here Covering the the shrine bowl interviewing players for the next few days while also covering the aoc championship So we've got we're pretty busy right now, but it's a lot of fun. Love coming out here It's a great event and yeah, it should be a lot of fun and hopefully we have a good time on sunday watching the game together out here Yeah, there's so many. I mean there's podcasts. You've got all sorts of going on I mean you're all over the media sports It's not just a sports network like a tv network like multimedia Everything covered over at kc sports network with bj kiss that we appreciate you and this is why you're ahead of the game By the way, this is why you are the way you are because you're a sick pup Who's at the is in vegas covering this game while you have the aoc championship game bj? We appreciate you and your perspective and to put it by the way into perspective This bangles team in the past two years has three wins Over the chiefs that is as many wins as the rest of the aoc west in that time really think about that three wins Uh and the a west against him over the six year careers 27 27 and three against the division in six years. He has three like you really even think about that Okay, what what the bangles sort of do to him and what he needs to do back to them I don't know how this game is going to go, but I do know this If the bangles are going to make it four straight over kansas city They're going to need a big effort from my personal game changer in this game defensive end tray hendrickson He has a bit of history against these chiefs In fact, no one has hit patrick marhomes more in his career Than tray hendrickson. It do you understand that that's a real that's a real sad That's a real thing and the only other guys who have sacked and pressured him more are joey bosa and max crossby Who of course live and breathe in the a ofc west and it faced him more often So this history i'm going to take you back because this matters it goes back to hendrickson's final year as the new warland saint 2020 showdown at the super dome. Okay tray got into it with the o-line. There's pointing on it Wait for the pointing hendrickson pointing. There's yelling. There it is. Where's the finger? Don't you don't he does like this whole like my tumbo kind of thing Uh, there's yelling. There's screaming cam jordan got ejected in this game Do you remember this game and there was tray racking up two sacks and five quarterback hits on the day That's the most hits marhomes has ever taken from a single player in the same game But as you see here, it's not just the production There's a tone that he sets out there just like he did during last year's asc championship game He racked up another sack and a half in that game including this one With the score tied in the fourth quarter to force a chief's punt Oh That can't feel good especially if your ankle's not feeling great Now whether marhomes's mobility in this game is compromised because of that ankle or not tray hendrickson He's as you can tell by looking at this footage He will make his presence felt in that backfield and i would be shocked if we don't see him Get home and make at least one huge play given the history here. I don't know what sometimes there's no rhyme or reason to it Sometimes it's just the way it is tray hendrickson versus marhomes very successful Very impactful and not somebody marhomes is excited to face on sunday at Borough head. Is it marissa? Let's bring her in here. Let's bring in since he's team reporter and senior producer who I love Congratulations on the second trip to the a ofc championship game marissa contipelli. How are you? Hey, doing fantastic. And I think we do it is borough head If that's my kelton's kind of trademark that now so I mean might not roll with it Yes, it's my mic man. I saw the I see was mic'd up. It was hilarious him into higgins I just saw that uh On your social feeds over there with the bangles. It was incredible now you were along for the magical run last year and As great as that team was almost everyone. I have talked to says that it's it's even better DJ reader says we're a better team. We have even more chemistry. What's the biggest difference you've noticed from last year to now Hey, it's the standard This team is expected to be in these type of games these type of moments last year They have the confidence, but they were still really pegged as the underdog bangles weren't supposed to be there last year They were a year early. They were playing with house money And so yeah last year's run was so magical obviously felt felt short in the super bowl But this year has been a completely different tone in the locker room The the confidence is the highest I have seen it in my five years being here in Cincinnati now Every single player I've talked to um, this is the expectation and a lot of it comes from joberus swagger I mean you listen to him during his post game press conferences just talking about the way he says The super bowl is his entire window of his career. Um, you just you when you have that from your coming from your quarterback It's going to trickle down into everyone else. I feel like we've even seen it from zack taylor at times When he was kind of taken his little kind of sarcastic, um edge during his post game presser After the bills win. So it's just the different type of swagger and confidence You know, it's made all the differences to your k I mean, and yeah, you have to have swagger when you're on a 10 game win streak It's the longest in brand bingles franchise history and it's all the momentum Leading into a matchup where they're taking care of business three three times And looking for their fourth win the all line played so well in buffalo last week. I was surprised guilty I was like andrew whitworth first-class flight for diana delta get your ass to Cincinnati and let's make this thing happen But but the reality of it is this week's a bit of a different story case. He's passed rush Really really intense. Is there any sense that we will see john wiliams Alex kappa both one or the other back in the mix this weekend Well, first off, I absolutely loved whit's response to your tweet about how he's saying this, you know, old man bangles don't eat him You got a love whit, right? Right, um, but honestly k the offensive line. I think surprised all of us I mean the fact that joe burrow has only sacked one time in that game for just a two-yard loss Was just absolutely incredible and and it starts with frank paulick and just the leadership He has had in that room. We had some great sideline sound that we captured of him You know talking to his players just how proud he was of those guys stepping up Today's going to be a big day because neither jonah williams or alz kappa has practiced yet this week So the team's going to be heading out for practice here In about an hour or so and so we'll have a little bit better of idea Then in terms of if they're able to practice or not because fridays are typically a big day If they don't practice it's going to be tough to see them actually suiting up on sunday But I mean the way that those guys stepped in with max sharpening and jackson karmann Jackson karmann looked so natural out there at left tackle, of course, that's where he was at clemson So like you said kasey's friends was a little bit stronger than what buffalo was bringing I mean just those guys that they have there up there is absolutely loaded But joe burrow has been getting the ball out quick and if they can get the run game You know going once again with mixing it's going to give them a little bit more flexibility there I give them a lot of credit I said all their names and we could celebrate these boys because unbelievable job by this offensive I hopefully they can keep it going I also gave a lot of love this week to who I named as my game changer marissa for this game hayden hurst He balled out against buffalo when he was uh, I saw him on the injury poor and I went What is going on limited calf issue? What's my concern level? Right. Well, it took a lot of us by surprise when he popped up there And so we'll get to talk to zack more today when they're coming off the field But I would say it's encouraging that the fact that he was just limited We know that he had a calf issue just about a month ago missed a little bit of time from that, but Um, I'm not reading too much into it yet. Again, we'll we'll know more once we talk to zack But the injury report kind of came out after we had already talked to zack yesterday So It'll be it'll be seen here coming up here soon But I mean hayden hurst Love love love that he is with this team. He has just been such a boost Um, just he just doesn't physical type of presence that he has k. I mean, this is like a biking out there I don't know. It's just been absolutely great just to have him What he brings to this offense and how can you not love just like everything he had gone through in his career to finally You know be fitting in with the team. He talks so highly of the spangles coaching staff and just how Wanted and how appreciated he is to this team. So it's just been such a big boost to having hayden It is and he's an emotional I mean he's a monster out there touched down career high 59 yards last week and then he's out there as this emotional Leader with a bit of a score to settle people want to brush it under the rug DJ readers like just who reads my friend Nobody's talking but you know chaden hurst said himself. I had I don't have a short memory I don't have a long memory and he has a bit of a bit of a something out that I need him out there Because he didn't get to play fully the the last time these two squads met So, uh, we appreciate your time. We you have so much you're not only covering this team You're producing you're doing it all marissa contipelli. We thank you appreciate you and hopefully we talk to you soon Thank you. Thank you. Thank you to marissa contipelli and bj kissle We've got stats on fire coming up new podcast, baby. You knew an approved podcast from my voice Stoots Welcome back to with the up and out of show the Niners headed to philly to take on the eagles Let's break down this game with an absolute legend from nbc sports in philadelphia for great john clark coming to us Are you at nova care right now? I am at the nova care complex in philly. We were just out at practice But you can only watch that for like five ten minutes And then they watch out because they're gonna actually go through their plays So now i'm in my car because it's a little cold out here. Yeah, I looked at the west 40 degrees. Listen It's i'm in california. It's about 75 and i've got a space heater right here So I feel you and I hope you're keeping warm. You look great. We're all excited for this game You had five minutes in there. Give me the energy and what were you looking at? What were you zeroed in on like everybody's zeroed in on the home's ankle? Well, yeah, so I think with the eagles. It's lane johnson lane johnson is arguably their best player They win when lane johnson's on the field and he's got that torn groin Something or other down there. I don't want to get too specific But yeah, it's amazing that he's actually playing through this because He told me that he was sore coming out of the game, but he's a warrior. He's going through this He's playing through injury and that offensive line. I believe is the best in football So when you have lane johnson able to play out there gave up no pressures against the giants So he played fantastic. That is going to go a long way to get this offense going against, you know, best defense in the league It is the best defense in the league. I talked to boston scott He'll be on the show in just a little bit and he gave so much credit to that offensive line and lane johnson All those veteran leaders for keeping them going He also was gushing about jaylon hertson his journey and herts was asked to reflect on that Ahead of this nsc championship game and he said quote It's oh, sorry, but he had it. It's not the time for me to reflect on that because i'm not done So what stands out to you with his growth as you've covered him as a leader and a player Okay, it's really unbelievable because he's 24 and yet He is more mature than i am let's say and and it's amazing because He leads this team at the age of 24 and you've got veterans like jason kelsey Fletcher cox brandon graham lane johnson who've been here won a super bowl He comes in and things he says like we got to make daily deposits the rent is due every day You start to hear other players say the same thing So he is the unquestionable leader of this team and here at the nova care complex guys say they see his car when they come in at 7 a.m. So he's here whatever five six a.m He's here at night going over the game plans in the installation of the game plan like seven eight nine o'clock at night He lives and breathes football And he wants to be great. He wants to be the best and he doesn't feel there's any reason why he can't it's almost like tom brady tom brady gets drafted late round Kind of looked over right well Nobody could see what was inside of him and his will and his desire to be great and jaylon does it every single day I think he's 24 seven football. I really do and we love hearing it And he's going to need it up against the number one defense So I will say they're 20th against the pass and the way that jaylon looked against the giants I wouldn't be surprised if him to ajay him to divante him to goddard Is going to play a huge factor be able to carve up and get some points on the board against this squad I want to ask you about the the other side of the ball with the niners rookie quarterback Brock purdy. This is a new kid. He's not flashy. He doesn't make a lot of turnovers He's thrown 16 touchdowns just three interceptions in his last eight here What's the key for this defense to forcing purdy into making mistakes? Well, that's that's going to be the key in my opinion You said it and I think the key is the eagles if they can slow down the run Because I think the 49ers are going to want to come out here They're going to want to establish the run get christian mccaffrey in space as well Through quick passes, but if they can slow down the run Then as they say here they earn the right to rush the passer because you want them to be in third and eight Third and nine third and ten you want to slow down the run? So then With this crowd here it is going to be so loud at the link I don't think brock purdy's ever seen anything like it It's going to be really hard for the offensive line brock purdy to communicate Even the eagles last week said they couldn't hear on the offensive line when they're on offense So imagine when the eagles defense is out there So if the eagles defense gets that extra Half a second one third of a second and they're able to get past the 49ers line They're going to hit brock purdy. I mean 39 sacks over the last seven games So I don't think brock is going to see Hasn't seen this kind of pressure yet and they've got They've got a rotation where they can just keep these veterans the older guys fresh and they don't need to play as many snaps Yeah, I mean it worked against tom brady didn't it sounds like the same kind of waves of pass rush from back in that game We appreciate you. He is john claire from nbc sports in philadelphia a legend one of my favorite producers on the show John I must say is obsessed with you and and so I we are also obsessed with you get out of your car Enjoy the rest of practice and and all the work that you do at mbc sports We appreciate the time and let's get to the niner side of things now They are as a franchise going to this game for the 18th time in history and who better to bring in From the gold standard 49ers podcast network raw stats govara Oh What's up k Hey, what's going on? Okay? So it's been a while I haven't talked to you in a bit and you were with espionation They are Made a dumb decision and now you have a whole other thing. I feel like I talked to you three days ago and now you've got a new gig What's happening? Well, you know Decisions get made and when we're not going anywhere So we started a new podcast the gold standard 49ers podcast network. It's on apple. It's on spotify. It's everywhere You get your podcasts We got to keep it going because the niners are in the nfc championship game for the sixth time in the last 12 years Okay, it's true You got quite a streak going there and you got a lot of listeners and a lot I listen to that podcast a lot. So i'm so glad that we're you're available Somewhere else it's the gold standard 49ers podcast network. We will plug it We're happy you're taking the time for us and you've got stats on fire You're you've got a lot of stuff going on But and we also know that you have issues with kyle shanhan, okay? And I thought about you during this game last week and I said, oh Stats is going to be so pissed at how conservative he's being it was squeak It was squeaky tight tight little 1912 win over the cowboys. What's your concern level with him in this matchup? My concern is he's not going to be aggressive enough because I think both teams are going to try and run the ball Both teams are going to try and limit the number of possessions that the other team gets and so Whereas I think nix siriani is going to be willing to go for it on four down Especially in the red zone. He's going to go for touchdowns And kyle's going to go for field goals And I just don't know in a game that I think is going to be close if that's the strategy you need to have okay, so Let's play psychologist nothing scarier than stats and k planks Like where does the scar tissue come from from him? Is it more because that's what it is right? It's psychological his conservative behavior. It is. I'm sure he trusts brockford But he gets like this in these moments. Is it 28 to three? Is it super vol 54? What is it because we need to get you to get that stuff needs to exit your mind We need ayahuasca this thing out of there puke a bite file He I think it's all of it. I think he coaches to avoid Things rather than someone like nix siriani who coaches to achieve things The eagles have converted more four downs this year than the 49ers have even attempted And I think that kyle just looks at it like If we can just avoid the big turnover if we can avoid going down by multiple scores, then we'll be okay I'll figure it out down the stretch But again, I don't think that's the attitude you can have when you're going up against that defense You're on the road and you might only get a few possessions to score points it's a great point stats and Let's talk about this part of it. You know the the balanced attack is what you want to do You want to go in there like you did last year and say we want to run the ball Like you said, let's have christian mccaffrey just do this thing brock brock pretty you just be cute Do the thing manage the game whatever I talked to hall of fame or chris carter about this on monday And I said, what do you make a brock? What I'll have to do the rest of the can they keep doing this and he said you can't hide your quarterback You can maybe one game and you can't hide him There will be a point in this game and you just heard john clark a legend covering this eagles team saying at some point It'll be an inevitability Allah jimmy garoppolo where you're gonna have to step up kid and make a play. Are you convinced that he has it? Well to hear john talk, you know, I I don't know how the 49ers could ever hope to win this game going up against that great eagles team No, I think that brock does have if there's one thing that he has shown He's not afraid to make the plays that are there now. Does that mean he's running around like patrick mahomes? No, but jimmy garoppolo couldn't even make the plays that were there And I feel like they did try and hide jimmy garoppolo down the stretch They are not trying to do that with brock purdy kyle trust brock more than jimmy garoppolo Which is crazy to say because brock's only started seven games, but it's true So I honestly believe that he if he has to step up and make a play he will I love that I mean he's undefeated right seven and no i'm looking at his numbers here 18 touchdowns to four interceptions Now the niners they're facing jaylon herts and you can say what you want about john clark jaylon herts the real deal Okay, he's one of the best quarterbacks. Yeah, you don't think he is Well, here's my question all these sort of playoff questions that we have a brock about brock purdy Don't they also apply to jaylon herts? I mean they've played the same number of playoff games Brock purdy actually has more playoff wins than jaylon herts I feel like people are treating herts like he's a known commodity And I don't think that he is and let me just say this I've seen jaylon herts get benched in a championship game and to a tongue of ilo I had to come in and throw the game winning touchdown pass well two ain't there for you this time jaylon So let's see it this weekend against the best defense you're going to face all year It it definitely is that and boston scott's going to be on the show in a little bit We're going to bring you that conversation I had with him and he talks a lot about that about what this defense is But they've got playmakers on that side too And this is you know, he's done one of the best running quarterbacks in the national football league of what he can do I think they're really well coached I think it's a huge I think they have a coaching advantage in all the ways that you're talking about Because it is who's going to who has the cojones to make a huge play when they need to do that But I mean is there a defensive player you can at least give me that you think will be A difference maker in stopping jaylon herts and making you look smart and him look silly I think it's going to be talano who fang of the safety for the 49ers one way or another He's going to be a huge factor in this game if he plays his best game He can be an absolute game wrecker that interception against the rams that sealed the game He wasn't even supposed to be guarding that guy. He just sniffed it out and made a play for the touchdown He can absolutely wreck games in the passing game and in the running game Anticipating the snap count and just getting into the backfield immediately The unfortunate thing for the niners is He can also take the cheese a little bit and crash in and try and make a sack on a quarterback Or disrupt the play when he's not supposed to and he can get burned with play action passes and deep passes down the field So one way or another I think he's going to be a factor in the game But if he gives an a plus performance that'll make a massive difference He's 23 years old first team all pro so impressive who vanga is and we'll see if you can do that That's my take Is he is he that good make sure you check out Rob's work and his new podcast is the gold standard 49ers podcast network over at youtube You have stats on fire as well. Please come back. Would you please? After they win let's hope you're the best or when they lose which is more fun for me Stick around for more right here on a friday up and adams appreciate so much stats Mercer Contapelli bj kissle john clark Uh an upcoming right after this my conversation with giant killer. Maybe nine or killer boston scott You love to Crush the hearts of the new york tri-state area. What do you have against new york? Oh Kiddoke giant's nation saying personally not prepared for playoff boston scott and they were not And he again just took it to them. My goodness. He just crushes that giant's team I sat down with boston scott. He is the epitome of a guy that you want in your locker room He he's got a smile You're not going to want to stop watching this interview just even because of that he talks about jayland Heard's talks about his coach and he really embraces his role within this organization and this team embraces him right back Sorry, my dog's making a fuss Well, obviously I need to see the dog. I need a proper introduction Uh, who is this? This is dax I thought you were gonna say jack and I was like that's a whole other thing we got Hand off boston scott for touchdown boston scott too strong You love to Crush the hearts of the new york tri-state area. You love killing the giant. How are you feeling after that win? I'm feeling good, man. You know, obviously What it's all about is getting to the next game. They don't really matter who the team is, you know, we're playing it's playoff football So the you know, we're getting that win and that's really all that matters boston, you're You're full of it. I can't even I know I know and I want to talk about the playoff You've got 11 touchdowns in nine career games against them You've never played the giants and not score a touchdown against them So let's not pretend that that's not amazing and let's at least revel in that for a little bit It goes dynamic boston scott and he plows his way into the end zone And into the hearts of philadelphia eagle fans for all time What do you have against new york? I don't know what to say It's just a matter of opportunity You know, I'd like to I believe in myself my in my ability as a player, you know, and I believe that you know If i'm out there and i'm able to play I get better each rep and i'm on the field So, you know, I don't know if it's necessarily who's out there. It's just a matter of opportunity Well, the numbers don't lie and I have a feeling your coach has a lot more to say serrani's like jumping on the bench He's get he's looking the camera dead in the lens. Nobody does that. He's in the end zone getting yelled at Say, I know what the rules are. I know where I can be How has he evolved In your eyes from the first time you heard his name This is going to be the head coach when you met him until right now when you're one game from the big game It's just a matter of comfortability, you know what I mean? Like last year was our You know the first year, you know what I mean? So there's a lot of things that we have to learn There's a lot of things that we have to Establish, you know development doesn't just apply to You know players can apply it can apply to Coaches it can apply all of us. So he's always had Energy's always had juice, you know, I'm saying whenever you have people all this is the great team blah blah blah And you know if you have bad time last year like all this team is You know whacked, you know, oh, oh Jaylen Hurts ain't this he ain't that you know, what are we gonna do at the court? you know I'm saying like You got to learn how to clap for yourself. You got to learn how to believe in yourself You know so that that can that can sustain you throughout the season. You know, you're not up and down You know I'm saying you're staying even killed Sirianni's like Next level at a 10 and then you have Jaylen whose cools can be cool cat cold, whatever And then confidence is what sort of bridges the gap between the two of them What impresses you most about your quarterback? Just his story, man It's his journey to get to where he is, you know, I know what it's like to be the underdogs I know what it's like to be overlooked. I know what it's like to lose a job You know I'm saying in football and so it's hard whenever, you know, the view of your goal becomes blurry You learn a lot about yourself you learn a lot about yourself as a man You learn a lot a lot about yourself as a person and so You know one of the I feel like one of the defining things for for Jay is, you know, Carson had the starting gig or whatever Even though he wasn't playing even though He didn't know if he was going to be playing or if he was going to be a part of the game plan Like every either Thursday or Friday he would spend time out at the everybody was off the field going through the entire game plan Going through his progressions going through his throws before he even had packages in the game plan Like he was still, you know, he was still carrying himself like that and I would peek stuff like that He had that vision for himself and regardless of the of his circumstances He didn't waver from that. I was getting fired up, you know, when people were talking about, you know, after last year Oh, uh, what's question mark question mark at quarterback? What's this? What's that? Like I'm like, bro Y'all don't even know it's dope man. Just to see Him be able to to rise to where he is now I'm happy for him, but I'm not I'm not surprised And you have all the confidence in the world and you can run you can pass you can block your offense can do it all But you haven't faced the number one defense in the league And that's what this is going to take it all. It's going to take it all. It's the Niners I'm sure you guys aren't having nightmares over there, but I would like to know just honestly What is the biggest challenge they present? To be honest, I feel like it's it's their speed like their speed man I think that their speed is really It's different, you know, obviously you see you see fair water and cover two dropping back relating to the slot Like he's he's running with cv lamb down the field and makes him play down the field, which is pretty I mean You see it, you know, you see it. And so, um, I think As a unit probably one of the more complete units that we've played So It's gonna be a challenge. There's sound that coach really well So, you know, I know we got a big challenge in front of us But you know, we got we got some dogs too. So like like it's the whole team, you know what I'm saying? Everybody everybody wants to go hard. That's what it is. It's playoff football So it's gonna be good on good, you know, and we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna fight man because that's who love to do And boston scott become a 49er killer and bring on to the promised land Hey We're gonna see we're gonna see You gotta clap for yourself Okay, so marissa's was an incredible producer. She's the biggest eagles fan Yeah Think at your house at the link and we're wishing you plenty of love and do it for me and marissa. Let's go Give love to everybody. We appreciate you. Hi job I don't know if marissa is happy with me or not happy with me that I pulled her on to that innery But we were happy to talk to boston scott filly face of san francisco this sunday at 3 30 easter one of the most anticipated Matchups of the entire season can boston scott be that guy the eagles anytime will certainly tell and i'll be in dalas Enemy territory for the eagles trying to figure out how to watch this game. How do I watch this game? What should I do? Let me know and we'll be back after this with sam monson still and We got k-makers after this don't go anywhere on a friday Welcome back to the epp and adam show on a friday time for conference championship edition of Where any better any different music than this? I need to be a little more aggressive in this It's time for k-makers. I'm gonna give you three players who I think find the uh, uh, okay, okay Okay, I feel that uh three guys who are going to find the end zone this weekend first up I thought about this a lot. Do I not do christian mccaffrey because it's so easy or do I want to help you guys out christian mccaffrey It's automatic he has scored in eight straight games. I think it keeps it rolling Even up against in eagles defense. That is pretty tough next dalas goddard on the other side of this thing I've called him my game changer for this one. He only has four touchdowns this year, but remember he missed five games He's found the end zone three the last four games. He has played with jaylon hurts and finally numero uno jamar chase he has scored in five of the last six He's gonna get the end zone again this weekend. No question. Here we go Here are my k-makers any time touchdown scores christian mccaffrey dalas goddard and jamar chase Kansas city fans are gonna kill me that i didn't pick one of their own But we know travis is gonna get the end zone calm down. All right Let's do this sam munson joining us from PFF time for some pff up action with my guy here sam. How are you? I'm good. How are you? I'm wonderful. You do all things nfl over at pff Check out the new pff app guys if you're getting set set for championship weekend Do I drink this thing that they're saying looks like a bangle even though? I think it looks like a hell mouth broodog hellcat or do I go with easy like weekend vibes, bro No, it feels like you're definitely a weekend vibes kind of person. Oh, I was gonna drink this one. Okay. All right Let's do this one. Okay. First up is the number seven Okay, number seven. What do you got? Seven is the lowest rank that any of the eagles offensive line the five starters have at their respective position This year so all five starters are essentially top 10 guys at their position this season It's the best offensive line in the nfl We saw the difference that lane johnson made to it last week when he's back Even though he's not a hundred percent battling through that injury They've got five guys and not one of them is even close to a weakness this year It's so sure dron clark was just at practice. He works for mbc sports They're infilly they gave him five minutes to take a look at his eyes were on lane johnson the whole time Says he looks great. Hopefully they get that they get it going the eagles rushed for 268 yards in that win over the giants Hurts was sacked just once and we hope that continues seven by the way Also, the number of losses eric weddle has against the bangles in his career Ouch, ouch All right, the number 25.7 25.7 sounds like the forecast of temperature in kansas city on sunday because burrowhead's gonna be chilly day That is the percentage of opposing drives that end in some kind of score for the san francisco 49ers That is by far the best number in the nfl for any defense. It's like five percentage points better than anybody else This is the number one defense in the nfl They've shown it in a variety of different categories But obviously the most important one is how often you can actually put up a score against them It's crazy the niners lead the nfl of course in total defense scoring defense interception demica ryan's Complete game changer Their past defense still a little suspect. We'll see what uh jaylen Hurts can do to carve it up now the number 9.3 That's a weird number. What is 9.3? What could that be? 9.3 is the number of times this season that you have to pressure patrick mahomes in order to get him with a sack He's the best quarterback in the nfl at avoiding sacks But that's when he has two healthy legs Does that change this week now that he's got the high ankle sprain and he's gonna have More difficulty getting out of that pressure if the bangles get pressure Are they actually going to be able to cause these negative plays that most other teams can't? I just went crazy about troy hendrickson Long history against mahomes crushed him a bunch when he was a saint, of course like in these matchups against them too Um, sam hubbard has three sacks over his last two games against cad's of city as well So keep your eyes everybody on sam hubbard the local boy. All right last one is 158 0.3. What do you think? Well, you know that one, right? It's the perfect passer rating. But where is the perfect passer rating here? joe borough to jamar chase In two minute situations when they need plays when they're desperate when the time is getting down Borough to chase is still absolutely money. In fact, it's a perfect passer rating So that is the thing that the cad's of city chiefs are going to need to stop at some point in that game That's insane jamar joins by the way randy moths let's speak and talking about that passing game As the only other receiver to have 3 000 yards and 25 plus touchdowns in his first two seasons in the nfl So jamar chase i told you guys he's going to score a touchdown in this one And he's gonna help keep that passer rating pristine and perfect for those bangles sam months and we appreciate you We love your work over at pff Everybody download the pff app is i think i said pf because i'm already pff up here on a friday Stick around hamilton's got a parlay for you because he wins every parlay Oh for the nfl conference championship games fando has an exciting offer for all customers all customers It doesn't matter if you're new or you already have an account because they're given all customers You heard me a no sweat same game parlay That means you'll get bonus bets back if your conference championship same game parlay does not Hit but in case you want to parlay that might hit here's matt hamilton hammer Anything you're keeping your eye on over at fando sportsbook because you are very successful at this i'm not I do have a little parlay that i put together for this weekend I talked about patrick mahomes and that ankle yesterday while it does seem like it's healthier I do expect it to still be a factor. So if you look at what i put together I have the bangles money line I have i'm taking a page out of your k makers. I'm going with the jamar chase anytime touchdown and i have hadenhurst over 25 yards receiving You know, I just think with everything going on with justin reid. I think he uh, he turns it up and has a nice little game I know he has that calf injury that's something to monitor, but if he does play I think he has a nice game. Uh, I love to hear it. Hold on I wanted to play the bangles. What is happening? I wanted to play the bangles song. No, I thought it voiced me. Hold on I shut up I thought your voicemail box is full But My voicemail box has been full since 20 2007 Uh, okay, so that's the parlay go check it out. Thanks for joining the show.
