56 the Rams versus the Bengals why’d you pick this game you know it’s a pretty special game to say the least Jules you know it’s a pretty good day pretty good week for me right I mean uh you know Walter Payton Man of the Year on Thursday check uh Super Bowl
Championship on Sunday check check and uh a walkoff right after the game with the kids like Hey we’re done this has been cool we’re out of here mate yeah the sunset baby that’s it what a way to end it yeah dude uh you know really
Special I mean I think of it when I when I picked this game really though to me it’s uh you know you know this when you play for a long time every year when you get to that end of the season uh it’s tough on you physically mentally
Everything and when it doesn’t end the right way uh it’s even worse and then you got to convince yourself you can go back through it again and it really started from unfortunately you you jerk you you took the Super Bowl from me the first time in 53 I guess that was yeah
Was it 53 53 you know and uh that’s where it started is it was uh people thought I was going to retire after that one yeah I didn’t really feel that way but going into the game you know how that is report every question I got asked was you’re going to retire after
This and was like no I feel like I’m going to keep playing but I appreciate it yeah but naturally I was 38 so I get it right you my beard was almost all white not as much as it was now uh but I lost that game obviously and I can
Remember after the game uh come up and uh I came over there and found you you were about to get ready to celebrate good fetty’s falling said what’s up congratulate you and then I take off to leave the field dude and uh I see I knew
Where my family was sitting I look up see my wife and uh my son Michael sitting in her lap and he’s my footballer I got four kids you know 12 12 11 and N now chaos but uh he’s sitting in her lap he’s balling crying
And he’s my footballer and I look up at him I’m like man just as a dad you’re like shoot now like you know it’s like I’m pissed but I know I’m still play football like I know I’m not done and I’m like how am I going to get this dude
To like get this these tears out so any little kid right like a boy especially like flex your muscles at me buddy so I like I flex both my arms up at him kind of look up at him and smile I’m like put a smile on your face like you know Ming
It at him and uh he like best smile he could get right like seven eight years old just devastated and uh you did that by the way just want you to know that uh I’m sorry but I’m not it’s okay Michael Michael Uncle Jules is sorry I’m sorry buddy all right
I’m sorry but I’m not you guys are good you got one next year you can’t you know you’re good but you know it was cool cuz after that game wa to have a conversation and I you know was about you know things you get out to as
Opportunity to teach your kids like man look Mike like we going to keep moving forward we’ll keep chasing uh and you know to go through the next couple years struggle a little bit blow out my PCL and MCL in 20120 decide to still come back at 40 and play football and to get
The opportunity to go play against the team I played for for 11 years in the Super Bowl that’s why I picked the game because it was an ending of your time in the league adversity you’d been through um always choosing to come back and say I’m going to chase this thing one more
Time and when that final snap happened uh the first thing I did I went over and saw Zack Taylor and Joe burrow gave him a little love and I turned to find my family and the greatest reward you can ever have my son Michael standing at the
Front of the sweep both arms up just all smile flexing ear to ear dude so to me it’s it’s like that Super Bowl’s awesome but like we know this in sports man anytime you get a chance to kind of back up your own words and prove what you’re
About and especially to your own kid uh it’s just a moment it makes me emotional every time I think about it you know and so uh it’s just cool man it’s it’s a really special game for the Super Bowl but also for that opportunity as a
Father uh to show him what I was about and he knows that now people don’t realize we F like everyone just thinks you get to the top and you you go and win a Super Bowl but the failures oh man the adversity that’s the real Scar Tissue that’s built that Cal calcifies
You and that’s what makes you go on to be able to succeed and you know I I remember when we lost our Super Bowl in 2011 in Indianapolis against uh the Giants had that same I mean I was still a younger player so we were in different completely situations I barely played I
Was like a special teamer still but getting to the top and getting to the last game and losing that game is almost the absolute worst thing you can possibly feel because you were so close you you were right there and all off season you think about the one or two
Plays you could have done what what if I the wh ifs what if I would have just caught more five more balls at you know practice that week what if I you know this happened and to be able to go out and and freaking actually go out and get
It done after losing I mean that’s that’s that’s that’s big leagues that’s big leagues man congrat that’s awesome man I appreciate you coming on uh is this the greatest game of all time uh I mean that game no no chance no chance no at least we got a man with Integrity
Here guys right at least we got a man with Integrity I mean for me personally yes uh in general no no chance but I mean it was I mean you think about like for me it was a movie script I mean you play for one team for 11 years they tell
You you’re too old basically like they don’t want to commit to you playing there anymore um and you end up with another team who hasn’t had a winning record in 15 years and you end up in two Super Bowls losing one and winning one uh and and finishing against that team
That told you that in the Cincinnati Bengals uh it was unbelievable for me against a bunch of LSU boys too over there yeah come on I even the I had to let them know like it’s still popping LSU right it’s not the young gu time yet
All right it’s still my time you know what I mean so uh that was fun you know it’s great I think Joe like you know we have a good relationship obviously the year I tore my PCL mcls when he tore his ACL so we both went to Dr ELR and uh got
Some time to be together but you know so we have a good relationship but I think he’s still kind of like you know like a little like you know kind of little he mad at me still it’s okay but it is what it is it’s just like I was mad at you
For a while you know hey there there can only be one winner there can only be one winner don’t worry you know there’s only one happy team at the end of every year there’s only one happy team can you walk downstairs with that PCL now or what is
Still yeah I’m good I’m great that was always the thing with the PCL walking down I tore my PCL in ‘ 07 and that’s ultimately what led to me to retire because over the years my knee started sagging back you know how it is yeah and
Then I wore out the medial part of my side well you know the ogre I am that I have a lot of other issues walking down the stairs and it’s that my feet don’t fit on stairs so a lot of people don’t realize this when you’re big fella like
Your feet don’t fit on the stairs so I can’t walk I have to walk my feet sideways how big is your your foot I’m a 17 so you can’t like not much listen again I’ll have to if you guys on THS can come to Thursday night football and check out big wit
Little mic it’s a segment I do anyways uh no speaking of that man you do killer work you’re working on Amazon right now which has been it’s been awesome for the league the whole streaming and I think you know watching you guys you know I’m working at Fox
Watching you guys you guys are so good together we share teammate Carissa Thompson how’s it been working on Amazon now that you’re you you retire and you get into TV you’re freaking killing it you have so many great insights and thoughts and how you speak on TV how you
Liking it it’s been a blast I mean I think that it’s one of those things I love to share getting a chance to do it when I got in the NFL in 2006 you know I had the you know I had the honor of playing in three different Decades of
The leag League I played long enough that it’s really unique like when you an offensive line room you walked in and I don’t think a lot of people realize this as a draft like as an offensive linean you walked in the first talk you’d have it’s like your old line coach is going
There and be like none of you guys get to talk to the media you don’t say a word you don’t speak about this room you don’t talk about our offense like if you’re in an article like you know you better have been forced to comment basically and so you you were kind of
Told avoid all of that so the first half of my career I’ll never forget when Taylor Lewan gets drafted and I think this is so great I tell him this all the time he goes his rookie year he goes and works the combine the next year after
His rookie year and I remember just being like o Lan around the league or texting me just like man who is this Punk like that thinks he’s allowed to talk like you can’t talk about football like you’re an O lineman you’re telling too much you know and so that was the
Nature of like our you know guy it really took a long time for a lot of Veteran guys to be okay with o linan who like spoke to the media and that was really what what it was like and so I came up kind of with that mentality and
Then you start to kind of like all right it’s cool like that’s fine like we’re just talking about a game that we play We love and it’s not that serious and so I think you really think of it a lot of those things have changed and now to
Have this opportunity as an offensive lineman to be on a prime time you know analyst desk get talk about a game that I love that’s meant so much to me is always say like I can’t wait to celebrate guys in this game and so getting a chance to do this like this
Changed my life my kids life it’s given me the opportunity to change other people’s lives um so just that honor to me is what I think about every time I get to do it it’s like celebrate a game that uh I think is you know we talked
About the greatest game of all time the greatest sport of all time the greatest competition of team and the ability to go out and make something bigger than yourself like man to celebrate that and what this whole entire thing is like uh it’s really special to be a part of it
And that’s really what’s on my mind every time I get on a desk and get a chance to talk about this game 100% And you know that you talk about how Lyman don’t talk like people don’t realize the Hogs you guys are the [ __ ] that get the wins if the Hogs don’t work
Together the team ain’t doing [ __ ] and they they’re the most selfless people I always always connected with the lineman because I was a former quarterback so I’d hang out with Logan manin I’d hang out with all you know um Wendell and we were roommates so that there there’re a
Special group of guys that are selfless they all hang out with in one area of the locker room they don’t want any attention they always talk about their goddamn wives and their families they’re the biggest family men in the world stuff in their faces just they’re
Protectors you know all over the side of their mouth they’re sweating at all times you go in there there just sweat all over them sitting in the facility watching oine room’s hottest room in the whole entire building disgusting just Big Fellas in there just oozing you know
Oozing I mean that’s that’s that’s a line room right right and it’s a it’s a Brotherhood and and it’s special you think of this game it really is I mean that that that line on both sides of the football is so unique and has a lot to
Do with teams that win every week and uh I think that’s really the biggest honor being a lineman and then also think about how unique the position is always say this like think of how many positions in the world play with their back to the ball at all times in a game
Right I think they’re really I it’s the only position I know of that literally you are always playing with your back to the ball Shields and so it’s it’s uh it’s wild to think that it’s a unique thing and you look at it in this league
Right now it’s a huge topic of improving that play and I think that’s one of the things is that it is a challenging thing because it’s not really something you would just normally think of when you think of Athletics of having your back to the ball and not really knowing where
The action is and uh We’ve continued to eliminate their time to prepare and I think that’s one of the biggest struggles there is in the league right now that’s one thing I’ve been talking about you know uh one of the biggest themes of the year we were talking about with every goddamn team
Offensive line offensive line offensive line and I think it’s a product of what the new CBA allows us to do in the off season there’s less padded practices and those big boys that’s where they get their reps and they need to it’s like it’s like choreography with these guys
You know they got to be able to pass guys off at but it has to be a live rep you can’t you can’t simulate that you know so it’s it’s been crazy to watch how they’re going to adjust the o line room and how they’re going to cuz there
There’s something they they’ll figure it out but getting back to you on TV I think you’ve done an awesome job of giving the viewer a perspective of what the lineman sees because what people don’t realize lineman are like the smartest guys on the team one like a lot
Of the times the Joe tunies reading books this they have to be able to defend the most athletic guys on the [ __ ] field the these D linemen that are absolutely monsters and they got to do it together and they got there’s so much feel and they got to look at the
Lines and you know you got the center who’s calling out bear front be front and everyone’s got a signal and they’re communicating it’s been so cool to watch you on TV break that down for the viewer because we haven’t really like you said had that there hasn’t been many o
Linemen out there that have done that um how great is Carissa dude unbelievable she’s a good point guard dude that’s what people don’t realize she’s the point guard always dis she is and she can hoop yeah Hey listen she can actually hoop for real like you know
We’ve gotten a chance to uh spend a lot of time together obviously when you’re a road team you know you guys are kind of a home team right you got a home team y’all are in the studio but when you’re a road team you get to see everybody’s
Messiness right like how you travel how you kind of live together you know all the ups and downs of just life right because you’re spending 48 hours or more uh every week together and so uh we get a chance to bond a lot man she’s so special I know how much she loves
Working with you guys and well she did say she liked her crew better you know so there you go you know so uh I think she tells everybody I I think Carissa is wise enough and witty enough to tell us uh what we want to hear in the moment so I
Think she’s told both Crews that she likes them better in my guess uh but she she’s the best man honestly like it it’s been really cool to have somebody like that because you got to think on our desk like we started year one only is this Streaming new and this whole entire
Platform new but Ryan Fitzpatrick myself and Richard Sherman are coming straight off the field like never have done this before and she sting up there at the desk and Tony Gonzalez is her only hope like hey I hope we can keep these guys together together cuz they’ve never done
This and I’ll never forget our first like show one of The Producers is like hey guys if we have some dead time right here y’all just banter and we’re like you know it’s break and somebody’s like hey what what’s banter mean it’s like what does that mean like and she’s like
She’s like putting her hand like oh my God it just means just talk oh cool all right got it yeah all right but it’s like we have no idea what’s going on right and no one teaches you that’s what people no like nothing like he go be yourselves guys yeah good luck I
Remember that was the first thing when I started swim that’s what they said the first I go on inside the NFL I get out of TV for the first time I’m nervous as hell once that camera when when that red light’s on you can’t you can’t fool
Nobody nope you know what I mean and I was just sitting there so nervous like yo what do you got he goes hey just be you man just be you I’m like thanks yeah appreciate there’s no Playbook like I said it’s throw them in there swim you
Know and and uh it is but she’s been awesome and I think just her leadership man you can feel it every week like she has a plan and and she really like I I thought the first year was awesome she would meet some of us down for coffee
Every time before we’d like leave the hotel just to kind of hey is there any way I can support you any way I can set you up better today is there any way that you’d really like to get in and out of things we talk about in a different
Way like it meant a lot to her so having her with us has been man I don’t know if you could put a price tag or value on what she’s meant to all of us yeah did she give you a journal oh yeah I got a journal damn I thought that was special
You not that special [ __ ] she gives great gifts yeah she does very thoughtful gifts afterwards yeah she’s she’s uh it’s good to have a girl on the on the set with a bunch of you know [ __ ] animals just Meatheads tighten us up tighten us up there’s no doubt um
How’ you prepared to to face this Elite D defensive line or a defensive defensive end how do what what is your like what do you look at when you were watching film when you were playing are you looking at scheme are you looking at individuals break us down with that how
Your you know think it’s interesting because now doing this um I get a chance to have such a broader lens of like things I’m looking at but when I played you know obviously my job you know I spent more of the week probably at my
Back half of my career on uh you know just the attitude the mentality the the focus of the week of the young guys making sure they understood what was going on in my room and a lot of other rooms and even you know somewhat in my
Career towards the end I was older than every coach on the staff so it was like you know also mentoring those guys and kind of just being of hate here’s something I think we could do a little better have more emphasis on and that kind of stuff so but when it came to
Tape really as a young player it was really about studying habitual movements I mean so for me I was a big um you know I grew up playing basketball I didn’t play football really until high school and so I was always thinking of myself as I’m a power forward and somebody’s
Trying to go dunk a basketball and how do I keep my body in front of them um how would I prepare for the things they like to do so I looked at pass rushers whether it be a James Harrison or Terrell Suggs or Dwight freeny early in
My career as it went on the Von Millers and khil Max and then now the Nick boses and Miles Garretts I’m I’m studying the pattern of how they really move and I want to learn their steps and how their body moves and on what step they like to
Come off with certain moves and what’s their go-to move oh man and how their hips and knees and like what what are little Tails like is their hand really high on a spin do they does their inside lift does their outside go down you know do they carry their hands really low
Before they bull do the kids keep their hands High when they’re going to hand SWAT like I’m studying all those movements to where my mentality was is it’s you know you see at the combine they do this like drill where you like Shadow a guy like kick your feet and try
To keep up with them my mentality was I should be making that step before you ever make it because I should know what you’re going to do before you do it and so I would go out I remember Jared golf when I first got to the Rams like being
A young QB like you know jar if you know Jared like just kind of num nut sometimes he’s like just got sit over like hey what you doing man you know and uh I would be out there like repping Chandler Jones’s moves and he’s like why
Why are you doing CH Jones moves I’m like if I can do them and kind of have a feel for him then like while he’s rushing me I kind of in my body even though you don’t see me on tape doing that I’m kind of going through the
Motions of how he’s moving while I’m taking my set to where I kind of know exactly when like uh uh he’s going to hit me yeah you know or uhuh oh he’s gonna pull away and so I pull away like so it’s like I’m kind of studying and
Learning their moves and trying to move when they move and that’s what that’s what it’s a dance baby it’s a dance it’s very similar for a receiver when he’s preparing against defens of you know DB you know is his H is his feet stagger when he’s going to give you an offhand
Jam it’s all those little things that you you sit and you watch so you subconsciously digest it and you allows you to react when you’re playing yeah I think Coupe always told me this like it it made me think of like him being the rusher like you know kind of being able
To like what foot is it that that little Hees he you know it’s like it’s not always off of two it’s not always off of three like sometimes it’s one more and then it’s the same move to where in their minds they click oh it’s this
Route and then I actually do it off of this step you know that type of stuff and I always thought of like man that’s the guys that could get me or were different like I’ve talked to a lot of Veteran tackles Trent Williams all those guys we always joke like when the guy
Comes off the bench that we don’t know that’s like a nightmare cuz I would rather face Nick Bosa every play than like wait who’s this guy like who is this kid like is he fast is he slow is he powerful like those are the guys that actually made you nervous because I
Don’t know his exact and that would scare me more than like a guy that at least I know what I’m going to get yeah that’s right there folks that’s offens line 600 yeah that’s not 200 no 300 that’s that’s class level that’s way up there 5600 class level
Right there what does that even mean yeah well you know like you go to well did you go to school didn’t go to class in college went so 100 200 300 that’s like your basic level class this is like class level 500 baby can’t read can’t write can’t stay baby it’s advaned yeah
So to add on that how how do you think like if you like put yourself across the line of scrimmage how do you think defensive ends are looking at your tape like what do they what things are they queuing in on you or how do they think they prepare against someone like you
Honestly I think most of them just know that you’re number 77 but no but uh there’s a couple guys that probably study more than that I mean AD is literally like that’s 73 you know and I’m going to annihilate this guy uh but I think like probably when you’re
Talking about the really Elite guys um they’re thinking of how they could maybe adjust things a little bit but the nature of what they do and I I you know I’ve gotten a chance in the last two years to work with young rushers and stuff like that like last year you know
I was publicized a lot that Mike and I work together for a week and it’s those guys it you got to remember they have to get to the quarterback and this is the other thing I teach young linemen that want to know I’m like you do realize
It’s their job to get to the quarterback not my job so as long as we can dance and you want to dance fantastic show me a guys that’s got a ton of moves that’s awesome because I am going to just keep giving you nothing and you’re going to
Keep doing moves and the ball’s going to be gone and then you’re going to tell me about how cool your move was and I’m going to be like great I get paid so that you don’t hit that guy I other than that like great you can have a lot of
Awesome moves and you can be like oh man I kind of got you at the end cool so that’s my thing is those guys that it’s they have limited time to get there so they kind of have their way they rush and so when you’re talking to those guys
To me I always tell them like don’t waste time like attack be violent get to the quarterback and then you got to just trust the moves you have and a tackle though on the other side of it it’s be patient be calm be under control and
Really just be ready for the moment they actually attack so it’s two-sided really if you want to be really good at it it’s the two things like for the one side it’s patience and stability and balance and on the other side it’s attacking at all times with a Relentless effort uh
And really a violent mentality to get to the quarterback and so it’s really to me that’s the difference of the two positions is that they can watch tape but it’s more just for them do you punch a lot or do you not punch a lot like me
I never never ever stuck my arms out I mean um I looked at it like in basketball again I go back to this like if I’m reaching I’m dead right you reach your feed stop you’re dead it gives them leverage so I’m never reaching right so
The only time I’d ever reach is a guy who I knew was really terrible at speed if he had no speed now I’ll grab you because I know that like even if you got my hands I’ll be okay yeah sorry I know this is turned into line 101 but no this
Is what we people love this love craft go deep in this stuff and it’s it’s just crazy because watching it’s like watching a young receiver getting off the line of scrimmage like you were saying these guys oh you know got all these moves and stuff it’s the guys that
Don’t cover the ground they think they’re being cute and stuff it’s it’s the guys that actually come and react off of your movement that are probably the tougher guys um you grew up in Louisiana went to LSU did you grow up a Saints fan I did not who’ you like North
Louisiana uh more North Louisiana where I grew up they were the ants you were wearing paper bags you know to the games I think uh I was a Cowboys fan so cow I’m actually closer to where I lived you’re closer to Dallas than you are New
Orleans so um I grew up a Cowboys fan always a Cowboys fan you know um so that was kind of my was Troy Eggman EMT Smith Michael Irving those guys Charles haey back in the day I mean you name it uh I grew up that and then also you know they
Asked me this question of the night honors like who my favorite you know growing up I was really torn because I’m also a Niners Joe Montana fan because Sega Joe Montana football like that was my put my gloves on I put my receiver gloves on I’d sit in front of the TV and
Like I’m going after it right full gear like wristbands on Joe Montana football I’m going you know I’ve I haven’t heard that game in so long I remember he had the had his little helmet out like the propped up on the the cover oh yeah so
That was great I was a Niners fan I hated the Cowboys I hated the Cowboys my two my dogs were named Dwight Montana we we stopped becoming Niners fans once we got rid of Joe Montana my dad my dad loved Joe Montana and like when he went
To the Chiefs we almost became we were basically Chiefs fans for two years love that you know it was it was crazy he was such Larger than Life that guy he was like God you were so you were you like Montana I was I like Montana and Aman
Were my my guys and uh you know might have been because at that era we didn’t even realize it but that’s really all you watched on TV were the Cowboys and the ners and uh you know that those kind of games so that and then you know
Obviously I really wasn’t one of those guys that like was a huge Pro Sports guy when I was growing up it’s the South probably I just didn’t you know in North Louisiana like there’s no there’s no pro team so I didn’t really pay attention to
It at all like I was a college guy like obviously being basketball was Duke basketball uh I had sideburns when I was young when I first could get them Cherokee Parks baby uh you know that was my Christian lner Grand heel that was that was my squad so that that was it
You know and then uh you know then I went on to college and you know I play we actually have a little bit of a connection cuz Nick and Nick and Bill baby I mean Nick sa went to Kent State as well yeah you know and so you know
When I was with LSU bill would come down and like watch our off seasons and stuff like that uh and spend a lot of time with Nick obviously because of their relationship so we both kind of uh been ingrained very similar things that’s for sure yeah was what was the plan for like
For Nick Sabin was he well you know I got young Nick so he was woo he was uh you know uh I I think uh the best thing I could say is my very first time I was a rookie I mean a freshman we had a game
We had Monday morning early morning film 5 minutes late maybe 3 minutes late I don’t know I was really late getting across campus I and he would wait at the door to close it when the time would in and he took those glasses off like he
Always does and he lit me up into a way like I was just like like tears the rest of the meeting and I’ll never forget it and I my wife to this day is so tired of me because I am 45 minutes early to everything like I’m fully dressed before
I got to be anywhere ready to go so he you know it it was special because you you realize really you know I think Kyle Williams and I always say this used to play in Buffalo forever you know we were high school Rivals College roommates absolute stud uh and we’ say this when
You played for him there you always felt like as players we have to go out and lose the game because from a preparation standpoint and uh you know how what we’re ready to do in this game from practicing knowing what what they do all of that like he’s put you in a situation
To win and you have to go play Bad to lose and you really did feel that way every time you lost you’re like gosh we let Nick down because we couldn’t have had a better Playbook to to win the game yeah that’s that’s what you felt like
That’s something I felt like I felt my whole career there wasn’t a game that we went into where you didn’t feel like you should have won just because of the prep that you went through like constantly going over situations that come up maybe once a year always being prepared for
That one thing uh knowing your opponent putting the work in like and I think too like you know this with them like I always was blown away like you I feel like there’s lots of coaches that work hard and and I’m not saying that you know they put in time effort all these
Things but the intensity level and the focus level of like every detail always locked in never relax like never ever letting off the gas a little bit I was always Blown Away in four years of being with Nick like I never saw him ever pull
Off the gas at all it was always full intensity fully locked into every detail that mattered of every situation and every week I’ve just even to this day you know I told sha McVey this when I came in 2017 I got to spend like a month
Or two with him the first you know couple months there in signing getting to know each other I was like dude you you are one of the closest I’ve ever seen because I’ve never seen it since I played for Nick and I’d imagined just seeing bill when he would come VIs Vis
It that he was that way like I just never seen people that not about working hard but just that that locked in all the time uh it was really rare you know what it is it’s those those guys they enjoy the grind of preparation some guys
It’s a it’s a task it’s it’s like a it’s like a chore it’s like all right we’re gonna those guys I tell the story all the time and like when I was like a secondy year player in the league I Lov just being in the locker room I was
Still just amazed at being a patriot yep March be doing cold cold plunge hot plunge i’ be going back and fourth 10:00 at night you I went to Kent State so we used to have to pay for our Gatorade sh I was just so infatuated with having
Everything for free you know and so I about I used to hang out there and I would go in the waight room 10 o00 11 the backpack with Gatorades huh we you stuffing Gatorades in the backpack 100% that was a rookie contract seventh rounder bubs come on buddy you should
Have saw my fridge at home I had everything that they had at the facility uh and you go there at 11:00 at night in March and you see Bill bellich in the corner of the wait room on a treadmill with a freaking sweat vest on with a big
Ass book going over the draft with film on 11 o’clock in March just guys that enjoy they enjoy the preparation process and they like it was like that every year like and they already had three Super Bowls at that time you know when I got there and then when we won a Super
Bowl it’s like they work even harder because they know you become yep the target you become America’s Most Wanted people talk about process versus results all this type stuff they are the process they are the process that is their result like to them win or losses actually generally actually don’t matter
They are in the process all the time so naturally the wins come and the results come because they never believe the process they are at all times gathering information like I always felt like even when I’m talking to Nick I’m like is he evaluating what I’m saying right it’s
Like I’m I’m just trying to have a casual conversation with you but I feel like you’re like evaluating what mood or mentality I’m in in this moment and I’m just trying to ask you how your day is going yeah you know but like they’re Lo that locked in all the time they’re
Computers dude you know and it’s it’s crazy what so LSU play for Cincinnati come over to LA Rams young hot shot new coach sh think they played him in college went to Miami Ohio oh that’s cool what was the culture like you explained a little but let’s J Jump into
That detail of of what that culture was like coming from Cincinnati getting ready to become a Super Bowl team what was that culture like it was unique because I’d been 11 years in Cincy you know car coach Marvin Lewis the whole time um you know obviously my first
Couple years in Cincinnati were were rough that was during the period of time when you know shoot I think we had you know I don’t know over 10 guys you know that had arrest and different things going on my first two years in the league it was just it was crazy I mean
It was B chaos right we used to have a formation called Bengal formation it was a group there’s four sets of formations you’re breaking the rules or jailbreak or something was was it the F would move in each one of these things in in of these formations so on you know Brown he
Was all the way out on uh tiger he the F would be in the here and then on Bengal all the way in we remembered it angles are always in jail they’re always there you go see I knew it was something like that I knew that’s where you were going
Uh but no that’s the truth and so then you know you play there had a we actually had a great run you know there when Andy Dalton and AJ Green and those guys were shoot we had five years we’re in the playoffs we’re winning multiple division championships and just can’t
Figure out a way to win in the playoffs and then you go and it’s like hey you’re 36 years old you’re a free agent the teams kind of telling you you can’t play anymore you feel like you can play a lot more um and here comes the Los Angeles r
They hire the youngest coach in history of the NFL Shan McVey I had randomly you know how these things just happened literally three years before that Jay Gruden was trying to hire him to Cincinnati and I met him at the combine and so Sean and I had met then kind of
Struck up a relationship and so I’m no idiot I mean you know I’m I’m a free agent I’m on the PA and I’m like Hey listen the combine’s coming up in February like I’m going to the PA meetings so at the PA meetings you know you see people people at the combine uh
And you’re just saying Hey to everyone you know that type of deal so I I ran into those guys I ran into a bunch of different coaches you know obviously you’re going to be a free agent and uh you know had conversation it was like
Cool like Sean just got this job I know him like I hope this works out where there’s an opportunity there and they were uh moving Greg Robinson from the left tackle spot so there was an op and I I signed there and and you know you join the youngest head coach and here
You are I’m you know eight years older than this guy and I’m I’m the left tackle the prized free agent at 36 years old with a white beard and so it was crazy because no left tackle ever in NFL history at 36 got like a premium free
Agency contract so it was a huge leap for the Los Angeles Rams to do something like that that had never been done um and it was a lot like honestly for me like the first year was a lot of pressure because it’s like I am 36 I
Have no idea if my body’s going to hold up or not um but I got to be around and see him and it injected probably I mean it’s probably the last five years of my career the most energy the most enthusiasm and just affection of loving
The game that I’ve ever had my entire football career being around sha MCV because he’s one of the rarest people I’ve ever had the opportunity to be around from that Focus level but also the ability that who he is as a communicator and how you can articulate
And bring juice every single week like when you walk out of his meetings you not only walk out like prepared for the game you walk out feeling like man you are king kong like that he has just ability to make you feel uh the most positive just infectious energy about
Your team and your group and it was awesome and to think a 30-y old head coach I’ll tell you this J you you’ll get this he’s a 30-year old head coach we’re probably two weeks into OTAs his first OTAs and I’m like man I’m going to
Go check on Coach like I hav’t been in there like after the work you know I go do my own deal watch my own stuff kind of I’m mentoring young guys I’m getting to know this young team they’re like who’s this Grandpa who’s working with us
You know and so I’m getting to know these guys and I’m like I’m going to go check on joh so I go knock on his office door hey come in like go in it’s 4:30 in the afternoon you know and late April and you it’s like he’s like got
Something on the TV like I can’t see like what’s going on in the screen like what you what you doing in here uh he turns his screen to me he’s watching our team meeting he’s like I go back and watch every single time I speak to you
Guys because I want to break down how I communicate every single day the message and what it is that I meant to set out with an intent to make sure you guys walked out of the room and felt and if I can’t feel it then I want to critique
Myself harder than I critique anybody else and if I’m the hardest on myself and every day I’m delivering a message that’s consistent with what I want from you guys then like that’s the best way for me to be a really good communicator and I was like Wow Wow and not only that
We spent the first month talking about culture communication like what verbal and visual communication looks like and it’s like you’re sitting in there and I’m like wow there’s a 30-year-old head coach we aren’t talking about x’s and o’s every day we are talking about how
You be like a grown man in football like don’t pout when you have a bad play like show some juice bring some energy back to the Huddle and say let’s go be better the next snap like things where you’re like wow this is like intangible stuff that actually matters glue right and
It’s the glue and and it was really cool to see a young guy have really I mean the balls to do that because most people would think you like the ownership’s looking like you’re young you’re hir like you been teaching these guys some X and O’s like where’s where’s all the
Stuff that we’re going to do that’s going to hurt teams and they don’t really understand like no that’s actually what’s going to create a football team uh that’s going to be really special so it’s really honestly one of the greatest moments of my life in my football career those five years
With him was really special yeah I mean I got to be a little fly on the wall with that relationship one night at the Soho house where uh yeah we have a good we also we also knew how to have a good time so we partook in a a few tequila
Shots and uh yeah I could definitely it was always interesting to me because like you said W you were eight years older than him and to see the relationship between head coach and Veteran player you in person it was something very different than I ever seen you know it
It it was a completely different way and it’s pretty cool to hear that kind of New Wave coach yeah you know and and that’s what it and that’s what every team’s trying to strike now every every team is trying to strike to get the next McVey the shanahans these guys that that
Are these Young Guns creative guys but it’s pretty cool to hear that you know yeah they’re brilliant with the X’s and O’s but they’re spending most of their time trying to develop the culture trying to show guys what we are yep and a lot of teams don’t know what they are
Yep and that’s why most teams are dog [ __ ] in the National Football League there’s like six seven teams that are really vying for a Super Bowl every year yeah I mean like in Sean I mean think about this 30-y old head coach you think you come in with like oh man this team’s
Really struggled the last 15 yeah they won Super Bowls in the early 2000 but really 15 years they haven’t had a winning record I mean to come in and really have that mentality of we didn’t even have a single rule we had he had one rule he had on the board in big
Words we not me it’s the Only Rule of the whole team wear whatever you want do whatever you want but if it ain’t a wi decision then it’s not us and so that was it and and that was how we ran our room and developed our culture and it
Was really special and uh I’m glad that he had the year he had because I think it’s probably one of the most you know to me impressive coach Seasons he’s had since he’s been at the helm you know with one of the highest caps you know dead caps in the entire
League one of the youngest teams in the entire NFL uh to make the playoffs I mean what a season and I can’t wait because they’re they’re uh they got a chance this off season L the draft picks the most money they’ve had since he’s been the head coach the most draft picks
They’ve had since he’s been the head coach it’ll be interesting to see what they build it’s been an awesome relationship him Les need that whole operation you know mortgage the future they mortgage goddamn future for that that Super Bowl you know and and people were thinking this year they were going

Was Andrew’s 16th season in the NFL 16 this was Cooper Cup’s Big Year triple crown winner Triple Crown first Steve Smith in’ 05 back when he had Jake delom slanging The Rock to him Jake Jake delom another Louisiana guy we got to shout him out BBE um Stafford’s first season
In La it was a banner year career-high in TDS career high in completion percentage and obj joins the team week 10 baby obj what did that do to the locker room Andrew uh you know what it was awesome I think that year really was one of the things to me that cemented
Like really how special sea is in the sense that you think of AD and Von Miller obj in that season um guys who had were established vets who played other places and when they got there it was so cool to see how refreshed they were to be like whoa like you just said
I’ve never seen anything like this like this whole setup and y’all are all like having fun like what what what actually is going on I remember obj being like man this is like gave me a whole new fresh breath of like wanting to play football and um it was really cool cuz
We had a little l in that season where we didn’t play well we had three- game losing streak um we had just gotten everybody we actually lost three games in a row when we’d gotten all these people on the team V on the team and obj
On the team and then we kind of found ourselves it took a little bit to kind of get to know each other and like get a feel for the new locker room Vibes um and we took off from there you know we lost one time and overtime to San
Francisco from then on and it led us to a Super Bowl so it’s it’s something that uh is it was a rare rare team and and really special moment for myself but uh like I said I I think sha mcvey’s story is still not you know finished uh it’s
Going to be special to watch this guy keep going because I’ve told him this multiple times if he has the passion to coach for a long time he’ll be one of the best to ever do it uh i’ pretty confident in that yeah that’s that’s the one thing that worries me though when
You’re a juice guy guy like that y can you sustain that that’s tough you that’s why I think honestly one of the most impressive things about Pete Carroll yeah oh my god dude it’s unbelievable like every time you think those guys are dead that guy comes up with a way to get
Them to play You’re all of a sudden like who in the world is this football team that we’re playing because watching on T this is not how they played the last three weeks and then he can get them to just play at a level that’s out of this
World uh but I you know that’s the thing I think it will be circle plus I think in the new age that we live in media and the opportunities everywhere like these coaches they didn’t have all those things back in the 80s and 90s and 2000 like Bill there wasn’t somebody beating
His door every day for years tons of money to go do whatever else right so I think it is unique now trying to be a head coach and do it for a really long time there’s a lot of other options and I think that is different for this new
Young wave of coaches as well so many different Avenues of of keeping your itch for football nowadays with the media as it keeps growing I mean this this game is insane and how it’s growing is insane and they have lots of opportunities to do a lot of ways to be
A part of it Jackie break down these Bengals these 2021 Bengals 10 and seven coming off of 411 season Joe Burrow’s second season in the league um we’re in the Zack Taylor era we talked about the Marv Lewis era earlier this is the third year under Zack Taylor Jamar Chase’s
Rookie season what a rookie season it was oh my God Higgins I mean they had they had the guys um well you got to remember too Zack Taylor was with us in the Super Bowl we lost to you guys so he actually got during the uh you know he interviewed
For that job during the bye of going into the Super Bowl so he actually got that job during that time so it was uh like I said it was a pretty crazy script to to end it the way it all ended can you say during one more time uh during
Okay from the south man it’s endearing the way you say during that’s right during and we got to give a shout out to AJ Green here this is the first time the Bengals started a year without AJ Green since 2010 Jesus mean that guy was Main
Green baby Main St baby uh and they won the AFC North for the first time since 2015 I mean this was an electric year just tells you one thing quarterbacks everything yeah we be uh Stafford was out of his mind I mean he was out of
Mind out of his mind this season too but in that year he was uh he was different you could tell that uh he was refreshed and felt believed in and I mean think about all those years he had in Detroit and just uh you know felt like he’s
Fighting for his life every week and then to come to a place place I’m sure where you meet sha McBay and you realize oh man you mean you’re going to tell me like I kind of feel like I have the advantage when I walk into a game every
Week uh I think you saw that in him and uh it was fun and I hope he keeps going man I know he’s been you know he’s had some injuries obviously he got beat up pretty good and what a tough sucker he is but man I hope he keeps going because
He’s he’s a special one and I’d love to see him have a couple more years him and Sean together uh they could do a lot of great things he’s a freaking stud Jackie what’s the game lead up to this thing Andrew mentioned this earlier the Rams
Got hot one five of six to finish the regular season the Bengals not so hot three and three to finish it off both teams were the four seeds as you remember Joe burrow went in and slayed Mahomes at Arrowhead gave us the phrase burad burad pretty good one pretty good
One uh Bengals first Super Bowl appearance since ‘ 89 back in the icky woods days who they lose to them ners ners come on come on Bob that was actually my Super Bowl prediction this year and unfortunately Joe bar got hurt but I went Niners Bengals I wanted the
Rematch I thought we were going to get the rematch yeah and this was the Rams second Super Bowl appearance in three years as we mentioned earlier so they had that that bad taste in their mouth still so what do you remember the game leading up to this thing were you guys
Nervous in La you guys or did you have like did you have a template because you guys were there a couple years before you would think but it ended up being a home game and then the league actually which I you know it’s like one of those
Things for me Hey listen it worked out perfect I have no complaints for the young guys I feel bad that were on that team that never been to a Super Bowl because when we went to Atlanta and play you guys you get the allness you’re on
The road like we’re in a hotel we’re busting to the media days you see all the security you stayed at home we stayed in our facility and practiced and stayed in our houses like literally bust I didn’t think about that we literally went to the game like it was a home game
And and like hey the night before stayed in a hotel by the stadium and just rode over to the game and so it was the weirdest week we even did they even allowed us to do our media at our facility so we didn’t even have a media
Day oh wow so it was a weird weird week it felt like a you know late December game that you’re just at home and obviously in Cali you know you have the great weather so it just it didn’t even feel like you’re playing in the Super Bowl is very strange uh compared to
Going to Atlanta almost could be taken as an advantage though for a young guy because there was less distraction no no no for sure I just mean like I I hate it for them that they didn’t experience like the allness of what a Super Bowl feels like right and that that’s what I
Remember the most and then you know really of the game I just remember it felt like every 5 seconds I turned around we lost an offensive player like wait who’s out you know like you’re on the sine you know how it is like wait you’re going to get in the Huddle and
You’re like wait who wait where’s our tight end you’re like oh wait where’s where’s the receiver uh it was just constant the entire game we were losing guys did you guys get to use your same locker room that game yeah oh heck yeah everything was the same that isn’t wild
Yeah it was wild oh my should we bounce through this game real quick B bounce through b as Andrew mentioned earlier I mean obj balls out scores first gets their Rams up then gets hurt right before halftime like he’s going for he be Super Bowl MVP oh yeah yeah he was
Balling um Stafford throws a pick late in the second quarter uh right around then Rams are up 1310 at the half then oh got to rewind a little bit this was the rock Super Bowl yeah the Rockets out what was the like can you get off the
Field so we can kick the football off I mean what’s going on right now I just I’m right there like hey I’m trying to win a Super Bowl Rock I’m glad you’re in the middle of the field but can we kick it please I wonder if he’s going to do
That for every single U game you got he should one of the wildest openings we were rewatching that last night it was insane yeah golly um so as we mentioned the halftime score 1310 Rams are leading then at halftime we got Snoop out there with Dr Dre kick ferson on the field
Could you imagine that you know what bill and Nick would do in that situation I they would have been cut yeah the punter would have kicked the rest of the game like why would you possibly do that they don’t care no those those guys no one would
Even think about doing that right mind I remember seeing this live I’m sitting there like is that the is that kick ferson now I will say at halftime it was one of the hardest parts cuz you know how long those are uh to like try to listen to the coaches and you’re like
Dam that’s Eminem and Snoop out there like it’s like you’re kind of kind to listen a little bit like I don’t know what Sean just said but y’all fill me in in a minute because that was a sick halftime show we’ll give him that legendary LA with those guys oh my God
And then so we come back for the second half Bengals start out hot 75 yard TD bomb burrow to Chase uh this puts the Bengals up all second half until a minute 23 left when Stafford finds cup in the back of the end zone little bit
Of a punt Fest there in the second half for a while um Take the Lead Von Miller Aaron Donald ball out Relentless Zack Joe burough seven times seven times insane you getting sacked all year though was impressive for them make the damn Super Bowl he got hit Super Bowl
Record um then Joe gets out there they get out to Midfield we’re looking this one earlier fourth and one they’re throwing it bring the blitz take him down and that’s it Eric wed baby Eric wed jumped in the window Burl worked to his left wed jumps in the window and he
Tried to get back and it was too late Donald B man what a special guy that was people forget we added him to start the playoffs he comes two years sitting out he’s in his big truck you know he calls me on the I’m like I miss a call from
Him I call him back I’m like dude what’s going on I’m coming to join the team baby like what he’s like yeah yeah you know they signed me I’m coming up like I I was like you’ve been working out it’s like man I run sometimes after I coach
The kids like so I’ve been running some Striders joins the team makes the run plays all the snaps you know whatever the whole entire playoffs and a lot of people realize this tears his pet completely at the beginning of the game never comes out plays the rest of the
Game can’t even use one of his arms and you can see him tackling with one arm remember Rodney Harrison stuff right there and the thing is too he wasn’t some pop like he shredded it so bad he had surgery it was an 8mon recovery oh he couldn’t play golf he couldn’t do
Anything he had basically was like hamburger meat he had shredded his PEC so bad and they had to sew it back together and he basically for eight months couldn’t do anything with his arm and I don’t think he would trade it for a second but really really special and
Then that game too it’s wild like you think of what happened to him Tyler higgy you know gets hurt in the NFC Championship he’s out the next tight end he gets hurt and then you have Bryson Hopkins who hasn’t played hardly a snap the whole season who’s now your starting
Tight end during this game up you lose Odell Benny scronic who’s a special teamer all of a sudden now he’s starting he’s a starting receiver so you’re walking in the Huddle and you’re like who what is going on right now can we just keep a couple guys healthy where we
Can go win this game uh that drive though with Stafford and cup man uh unfreaking believable that you found your guy they’re they meet every morning at 5:00 a.m. on Wednesdays and it came to life right there talking about process over results baby now what how was how was
Matt right before that drive was he what was his temper like how first thing I’m going to do just I I mean not that you’re scared of Matthew he’s real sensitive about Matt so really can we call him Matthew we’ve thrown a couple
He’s like m m is the same way I he very serious Kelly’s gonna she’s gonna post on inst about you I’m sorry I’m just telling you I like to come is gonna get you on Insta if you don’t you got to call him Matthew I’m sorry Matthew okay
Matthew very serious uh but still honestly so how how was Maddie before that thing yeah if you’re like me I’m calling Matt the rest of the day no uh anyway so no you know was wild as I like when people talk about the game right like that’s the things I actually rememb like
Him walking in the Huddle so you know if people don’t realize this the quarterback’s always on the side of the team like so you know he’s communicating with the coach all those things so obviously our sideline is away from me being the left tackle and so Matthew’s
Over on that side and so we’re looking dead into each other every time he’s getting the call from Sean I kind of see sea in the background making the calls and I see Matthew like looking up at us and I never he him getting in the Huddle
And he was like Hey man let’s let’s go do something special right here you know and there was just a look in his eye like I always said this like Matthew to me is like John Wayne like he just like he’s like this Cowboy bad dude in the
Sense of he’s not a cowboy type guy but he’s just a tough never Hur never says a word like gets hit you can literally like G like nothing won’t say a word like not blaming anybody never tell a thing like they’re draining his knee his hip whatever pre like he doesn’t care
Like the dude’s just tough and and that’s who he is and so you’re just like in the Huddle it’s like let’s go do something special boys you’re it’s like yes sir you know like nobody’s touching you think of a Necessary Roughness if you will the movie like nobody’s going
To touch you you know like that’s literally how you felt with Matthew Stafford in the Huddle and you know that drive obviously him and Cub really special and every play you know it’s like that you know I look on the screen it’s like how he like man it’s 15 play
Draft gosh it felt like four months you know it literally like every like oh we found a first down oh we found a first down let’s keep going let’s keep going let’s keep going uh so it it was a wild wild deal but I think really special you
Know you always think those things end the way they end to have those two guys the relationship they formed the bond and commitment they made to meet every single morning we also that season had what we called The Breakfast Club me Stafford and cup and our wives would
Meet every single Tuesday morning for breakfast that whole entire season uh at SoHo in uh so Soho and Malibu we met every week they’d have it like they were all ready for us every Tuesday Morning uh and it really became a great bonding experience for us and we even did it the
Week of the Super Bowl and the roughest one was the Tuesday after the Super Bowl when we haveen none of us have slept at all but it was like hey let’s have one more and we met that morning and it was like dude what a journey this whole year
We won a Super Bowl now here we are sitting here having breakfast again uh it was a special year you know what in and that last Drive pretty much some up that Team 15 plays you know executing and got to have it situations key third Downs your go-to
Players making go-to plays one of the best no looks ever if not the I he invented it you know Patrick said this like I know people but like Mahomes has actually said like I grew up watching Stafford like throw the like he is the I know nobody like talks about that much but
Like he is the guy who like was doing that for a long time well Joe Joe used to do it a little bit yeah flat little little flat but you know he kind of took it a little crazy a couple times year across the damn middle no one does a no
Look across the middle it’s like what the [ __ ] is this guy doing and it would be dialed right there um but to get back you know you guys got banged up no sniveling and that’s what a heart of a champion really is you know next man up
You’re not going to sit and worry about things you can’t control and there was no no better way to probably win a Super Bowl than having your offense on the field going out having a long methodical drive and you know I remember watching that I was I
Was so happy for you uh just because you know we had you know a little relationship and and I was so happy for Matthew I won’t call him Matt just because of the the career he had and and the the amount of losing he’s been to
And then all of a sudden one year come out win it with the Rams it was just a spectacular thing to watch it was a great story and like we were just talking I mean even right now like it it’s still the story still going for him
And cup so um any After parties how was any any good stories for the After parties who who performed at your Afterparty uh you know uh we actually you know I’m too old for all that you know so I wanted to do my own deal so we
We actually uh me Stafford and cup and a couple others kind of went together and did stuff with uh hwood kind of set up a deal for us at harriets and West Hollywood and our families and stuff so we had a deal there uh you know a no
Sleeper obviously I think some people ended up at like Drake’s house somewhere I don’t know I ended up uh agreeing at some point in the night way too excited to do good morning uh America and like uh Today’s Show and a bunch of stuff so I literally had like trucks sitting at
My house when I got like 5:00 a.m. in the morning got there they’re waiting on me I got in there did that I’m getting like going to go back in the house like I think I’m going to sleep and then I get a call and it’s like hey Ellen wants
You on today and I was like let’s do it like all right well it’s 8:00 a.m. I’m you know hammered if I go to sleep right now I don’t think I’m making it to Ellen at noon so let’s just keep rolling so we just kept it rolling and uh I went to
Ellen and somehow I didn’t get myself completely canceled or ruined from going on there with no sleep and uh still you know pretty intoxicated so then after that I passed out par you know we had breakfast club Tuesday the parade that afternoon and then uh you know what
What’s Wild we actually came right here to the wind uh we spent way too long we we got a little excited you know a bunch of parents yeah cop and Anna and Kelly and Matthew and myself and my wife Melissa decided to uh take up the win on
An offer to come have an epic week and so we spent five days here five days I didn’t come back to Vegas I think that’s the most impressive thing I’ve heard about this whole goddamn Super Bowl 5 days I come to Vegas for like a year cuz
I was like I I don’t even I don’t ever want to see anything in Vegas for a long time so it was 5 days uh it ended with going to a Chainsmokers concert at like 2 a.m. at XS standard oh man and I think it was one of those flights home where
The six of us I don’t think anybody said a word to each other like there was no no talk going home everyone got in their car like no bue hardly at all like you know just we’ll see you when we see you we’ll never talk about this again gosh
We were see you in the next Breakfast Club we were done we ate too much drank too much and slept zero so it was uh it was a wild week that’s for sure man that that that’s got to be awesome in your hometown home team town get the dub go
To Vegas final score was 23 to 20 Rams on top name of the game what’s the name of this game Whit we got to name this game this one’s for what this one’s for wh the Rams house game we not me game I think the we not
Me game we not me game let’s do it all right let’s score the game present Ed by wi is this the greatest game of all time let’s score it Stakes 1 to 10 decimals okay uh here’s what I’m going to probably say uh I’m gonna go 7.7 7.7
Fair I like that this is this is a man of integrity Pro score Pro score yeah Pro score star power oh well team there’s a lot of there I’m going to go la honestly with the halftime show and everything I’m going put 10 star power
Be honest big one big one bunch of Hall of Fame on that damn field too yep uh game play O you know I thought kind of the second half was a little of aore for a while there um so I think if I had to
Do a game play on this one also the penalty at the end kind of like takes a little the Shine off yeah yeah yeah or the penalty to start the half but you know we can have that conversation if you want anyways T pulled Jaylen Ramsey
Down by space maskk 100% anyway so uh say let’s go penalty for penalty we want to do that make I’m going go 7.7 again 7.7 yeah this is a grank this is going to be a grank style score I wonder why we’re going 7.7 baby cing up the name of the game oh
Uh you know we not me game well I think because it was the slogan that Shawn McVey started when he took over the regime and lived it through because you had a lot of guys have to play in the game with everybody being injured it wasn’t one of these games where you had
All the stars healthy uh going to to toe and the Bengals really had kind of a bad finish and just got on fire uh you had to stop that momentum I call we not meame a nine nine love it we not me game the backend Bengals that’s what I always
Call them they always start off slow and then up back in turn that thing on 8.6 where does it go where does it rank in the games that we’ve done Kyler this is right between the 2010 AFC divisional round game the can’t wait game and the bush game where
Went crazy no no no different different one Bush game he ran for 53 yards against Fresno oh yeah you’re right right between those yeah so did you catch on any of the method of my numbering no I knew the 7.7 behind you can you I got the 7.7 can you explain
Can you explain the other two two nines hold on hold on on can I call you Andy there’s some real numerology here Andy that’s worse than mat 10 and nine 10 and nine I don’t know who 10 n are anyways who’s 10 and N do you know oh
Matthew come on guys not hard the trifecta baby if you were at Rob trip you think I mean I know what branding is it’s the win bet trip the wi brought us here Cooper Matthew and big whip now if you were on Rob Gronkowski’s level you’d
Be able to do this math in your head oh yeah he gron a big math oh my God he’s a math magician Nash he really like that I like to know that about iton a big number guy okay all right Andrew we you want to add anything to this anything

That like because he’s eight years older than everyone they brought him in off of his experience and you know he’s a big part of the the success of LA Rams why the LA Rams with the LA Rams now oh for sure C locker room guy culture guy I mean once
Once they lost him on the old line you know people were talking like this ain’t yeah he may be 40 but he run shop there and you know because of what he the knowledge he gave to a lot of the young players you could see that it’s translating with this newer team

Too that seemed like some dude party it’s a classic example of your personal life affecting your work life thanks Krabby Tyler Wordle that was introduced to the world I was never a Wordle guy I played a few times I’m just not smart enough for it I was more of a Words With
Friends with a be I like the spelling be on New York Times Queen Elizabeth II celebrates her 70th year in Britain talk about longevity serving as the Monarch and now she’s dead rip I love that show what the monarchy the crown the crown that’s how I learned
About all that stuff I had no clue did uh I feel like Angie would have a princess die Beanie Baby Oh my mom has we yeah yeah like and they’re like stowed away yeah every I don’t know my mom’s age if you’re a woman of that age
You love princess die I didn’t know why why and then you go and you watch a show and I don’t know where the show who’s making what make look what what but that’s what I think that’s what I think of with like everything I learned about how the Monarch works I learned about
Like Britain’s basically owned everything and then everyone started independent or like leaving stuff just like that yeah like that in her lifetime it’s crazy yeah she was she took over and like her dad died at 35 or something this was like what and she wasn’t
Supposed to be a queen her dad’s BR her dad brother was supposed to be the king but he did something that he was he wanted to marry an American did something yeah and so then he became king ends up dying she becomes Queen at 17 and like that’s when all like
Everything from everyone started breaking away from Brit I don’t know it’s a good show you guys should watch I just I just I just read something or saw a Tik Tok or anything recently that King Charles now he doesn’t like Buy in completely to modern medicine and so he
Has like a potion he’s got like someone making them potions and [ __ ] this is the king of England geez fact check me on that later Jack all right Sports World Sports World national champions Georgia the dogs Heisman Trophy winner Bryce young I wonder how he’s GNA pan out he needs to
Have a team around him that’s tough his strength’s not like running around and looking like a Phenom athlete his strength is like Distributing reading defense you know he’s a point guard he just that’s going to take a while and and a good coach around him Super Bowl
LA Rams were the champions We went over the game NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers that was only two years ago MVP is this the first of the back toback crazy yeah right I think so yeah wow and then Brady retires for the first time huh remember Brady like FAL started his retirement
Yeah then he came back I get confus days later because of the the I get confused it was like a shefter Tweed oh shter yeah shooting from the hip H just letting it spray baby Messi and Argentina wins the world cup over mbapp in France that game was
Insane That’s a classic games with names that’s a game that is a game I would love to do a full games with names with Messi in Spanish I sneaky thinks he speaks English he doesn’t do it publicly I’ll get do lingo baby I’ll down dude I’m full MLS since Messi’s been so
Maybe like we’ll cut in between things where cuz my Spanish is Mas menos but like yo wait up yo how do you say say uh that was a [ __ ] sick ass goal and he best episode yet oh my God that would rock that’d be tight National League fully adopts the
DH hate it it it ha it hate it baseball can’t do anything right these days hate it the shot clock I think did something shout out to yeah if you’re watching on TV but if you go to a game you always want the game to be as long
As possible like when I was a kid we go to a Giants game like on a school night I was praying for Extra Innings just in case my mom it’s like you guys were up so late you know you that was what I was hoping for it’s free baseball mom what’s
The Legacy for this game McVey we got some big questions answer yeah where does what does this do for mcvey’s career and kind of putting him on that that short list of best active coaches what do you think 100% I mean he’s like that new generation he’s like the the start of
The Young Gun coach that everyone looked for everyone’s looking for the next McVey it was interesting hearing witor talking about McVey because it seems like he had a lot of parallels with what you’ve said about bich in terms of like attention to detail focusing this this
This but it seems like he’s got a more modern approach with how he handles like the players and like the personnel and how that stuff it’s just interesting to see what kind of works doesn’t work um yeah there’s multiple ways to the to top Kyler no I think it’s curious modern way
No I’m not don’t you come at me I’m the biggest Bill guy there is all right dude I think they [ __ ] up getting rid of Bill West Mass you hear that right now it is funny a guy that’s 38 years old and you’re already talking about the
McVey coaching tree you know what I mean that’s how you know you’re doing something right that’s when you know you’re doing some right when you’re 38 you already daddy you played against them we played against them when when we get him on we’ve been talking to him
We’ll see we got to get his we got to get his dad on his dad his dad’s Ohio they’re Ohio people you know what I mean football coach when I went to the practice to do that Cooper cup interview oh that’s right and you know he’s a
Football coach cuz he gets straight up in your face and like he’s like right in your face telling you a story literally like we’re about to make out like you remember I was at that game I’m like yeah like you could just tell and then he’d W walk away and go do
Something then he come right back over get in my face I’m like that that’s in the blood I love it the coaching’s in the blood I love it oh yeah MC vaser NFL royalty let’s see what some other Legacy questions that came out of this one Stafford where does this
Kind of what does this do for the Stafford Legacy he’s a Hall of Famer yeah if he don’t win this you think still think Hall of Fame I me you know the yards and everything in Detroit were sick but you never play off way until
This season so who else is in that class who else is in his years um see that’s what you got to think of Stafford’s class is weird cuz he overlaps a couple yeah he’s kind of like a Jen’s ex person where he’s kind of like in the middle he
Was 09 draft we the same year oh yeah uh so Sanchez was in that draft yeah um I mean he he with the Super Bowl 100% first ballot okay I mean you got he’s a tough football player too man and rivers is probably going to get in without a
Win like I’m taking Matty Stafford over Phil yeah same over Breeze yeah I mean I probably would they’re definitely they’re they’re a conversation there yeah I do kind of lump them together in my head it’s sort of like in the same orbit of guy I guess
Trying to think who else I would put in there the only difference with Breeze versus Stafford is Breeze was able to like resurrect the Saints a little bit and Stafford whether it’s his thing or not up to eight but Stafford was never able to resurrect the Lions had to leave
And get success elsewhere so if there’s any yeah also Shawn pton versus the 15 coaches Matthew Stafford had TR bre’s never had Calvin Johnson Matthew Stafford was competing against Drew Brees and with just Calvin Johnson I’m just saying and he had a couple other players but like he used to get beat up
Yeah he did I don’t know I mean that’s a good that’s a great argument yeah that is they’re very similar I can see both ways on that will Joe burrow win a Super Bowl in Cincinnati that’s a tough one I don’t you know what they do have the
Chief’s slaying Gene if anyone of the AFC has that it’s the Bengals they went into yeah but he’s been hurt a bunch a lot in the first couple years here and can they keep that re no one talked about that and we all talk about Lamar
And you know my guy Joey B it’s just he’s gotten to a Super Bowl like he he got to he got to stay on the field bro I know cuz he’s you know what I mean and then are they what are they going to do they’re going to lose Boyd or they
They got they still have to address the offensive line the defense is always really good with Hubbert Hendrickson and Lou marillo yeah I saw him I saw him in Vegas he’s a good old football guy he’s cool as [ __ ] he was cool yeah he was cool we had a
Drink I love that cuz he was we used to battle against each other when he was in Miami oh that’s right we were just what’s he drink by the way he a beer guy we were all having a little tequila hey all right I like that little Tommy
T oh yeah baby hell yes um I mean I think Joey b gets one I think he gets one okay so who let’s talk about AFC right now okay Lamar Patrick Mahomes he’s a good player I mean if this was the year to get Patrick Mahomes
I know they had a great defense but like they you if you had a shootout you could Win Second down and and have a blitz package against the Chiefs I mean this was your year okay um so Lamar you got a pissed off Josh Allen this guy’s been
Humiliated he he’s watching all this stuff right now you don’t think Josh Allen’s pissed off at home who he’s getting into that eight nine year where this is it’s starting to come and you know what I mean and what about John Harbaugh and Justin Herbert what about that could be a nice
Little Duo so it’s just going it’s getting harder and harder no I know and talent’s just rising and rising and and you got CJ Stroud coming on CJ St CJ you got new Young Buck coming on you got I don’t know Trevor Lawrence needs to get
We gotta we got to do something down there that was a bad Miss yeah now that you think about it this year and I know it’s the teams but it’s a quarterback you know what I mean yeah I know it looks so it looked it was always spurts
With and then all all a you’re like what the hell are we doing why are the Jacksonville what are we doing here after the after they had that comeback against the Chargers in the playoffs last year it was like oh the Peterson the Peterson thing is resurrected and
It’s sexy and then this year like they were banged up a lot you know you got to learn that’s another thing that’s why it’s look at look at how why the Kansas City Chiefs why how come they got it figure it out how oh no they know how to
They know they know consistency [ __ ] they’re the king what do what do you think about this being able to F reflect on this with two years the Jared Goff Matthew Stafford trade probably the best trade for both teams in the history of the league Ser really did work out like yeah jarro Goff
He’s about to get another huge deal now how much he wants to take will dictate on how good his success will be and Matt Matty Matt Stafford I me he got a ball and he looked like he just got re resurgent this year like he looks insane he is tough
They’re only going to get better they found puka you’re going to get Coupe healthier next year they’re going to get a couple their offensive line played damn well they’re only going to get better playing together addan Williams kyen Williams defense Young Gun just I wonder what they’re going to do with uh
Aaron Aaron Donald but the guy next to him he was a second Team all pro you know what I mean so like that’s what but you see if Aaron Don retires or he doesn’t play you’re going to going to start to see why that guy was second
Team all pro potentially and I’m not taking anything away from him but when you get to play next to yeah you know generational Talent yeah like you get it makes you better because you’re getting the favorable matchup most of the time are we talking Jonah Williams here yeah
Yeah no I uh because that looked like one of those deals where it’s like oh you feel so bad for Goff he got shipped out to Detroit he’s going to go there and die like it’s going to suck and then now they’re the most fun team I’m so
Happy for the city of Detroit that they were able to beat the Rams cuz would have been catastrophic for that City that would oh yeah then we did have the match up I forgot about the big match up I was like I was like watching that game
Like if the Rams like lose this game it’s like whatever DC got to tighten it up man I love the aggressiveness but we got to settle down dude take the damn point you’re I know and you’re parcel’s guy right or Payton Shawn Payton Shawn pton guy yeah let’s take
Some points man Amen Brother come on man okay so to wrap up this game it’s the we not me game we not Me game Sean McVey is saying score 8.6 it should be The Breakfast Club gang Breakfast Club G don’t you forget John Hugh is that what they do
Now when they leave the parking lot of Soho Soho Malibu oh my God retires should yeah the fist bump what on all time fist bump oh and then we we got to talk about the numerology he did here oh yeah yeah he threw us off hey no that’s I was on the
That was big time that’s hard on my radar I was as was the as the Zar of the numbers here what do you think about that you know I mean I like that the score wasn’t that high I think it’s still higher than it should be but like I like like his
Team his camarad I think he could have G better I think cuz he went 277 he could have threw like a random number in there that made the outcome come to something better right CU he his double like yeah I’m a 86 him that’s Diner talk baby
86 86 gameplay it did kind of end on somewhat of a controversial call there was another like if the biggest moments of the game are like two controversial calls like that kind of takes away from like the sanctity of the game play the name I’ve never heard we not me it
Sounds nice it Rhymes but like culturally it’s not really there right right it’s not star power fine it’s a breakfast this is a Breakfast Club score yeah a Breakfast Club score come on now World score all right well that’s that’s that episode let’s do the uh let’s hit

What other legendary lineman should we have on the pod?🤔⬇️
Great interview, love Big Whit! He needs his own podcast.
"you jerk" and "Oozing" should be on t shirts
Get: Randy Moss, Chris hogan, Jimmy G (lol), Dorsett, Travis Kelce, or AB
We miss you on the Rams big Whit
Whit is the man, O-line talk is top tier
Big Whit is pure class
Salt of the Earth ….. love JW
Does anybody know what kind of slides Jules is wearing? I want a pair
Can you show your shelf back there?
Jules, you're doing such a great job with this pod. I really love the attitude you bring to hosting – balancing your expertise with allowing the guests to speak and really let each episode be distinct.
Miss seeing you out there moving the chains.
Do the viking biggest comeback in history!!!!
He is a cool guy.
Just OOZING ass cheese …. lol brutal
I wanted Whit to win a ring. But not against us as a Bengals fan. lol
Craft talk was nice
Who Dey! Love ya Big Whitt
Jules got on them wax on wax off 7's
I didn’t think I’d like this pod
Dude is very smart, great pod
But
F Stafford he’s a rat for not capitalizing with megatron
"Love Will Smith"? Guy has no morals or values.
I would love for you to talk more about the 28- 3 comeback and your intuition that this would be the greatest story of all time.
Matt Stafford and Brees? They arent even close. Come on.
9:02 Lmao😂( Wussup Niners)💪💪💪
Thank you.
Bro k hate adds I have 7000 before minute 5 😒
Product of West Monroe Louisiana. I worked at hotel and had the pleasure of taking care of his family . Great family great people
I need to see Steve Harvey on this show!
We all luv this stuff,when whitworth was breaking down his position everyone was mouth open listening
I believe Edelman was injured in 2018 which is why he mentioned 2011 losing the SB rather than 2018 against the Eagles.
I cant stand the whole streaming NFL games. Just keep them on TV.
You gotta have Big Dick Nick to talk about SuperBowl 52… The Philly Special Super Bowl…..
As a Cincinnatian, I couldn’t be more excited for this episode… although there will be pain involved, I’m so happy big Whit got himself a ring finally. After all his years here in Cincinnati being wasted, I’m genuinely happy for this man. He did everything right when he was here. And even though his ring came at the expense of my hometown team, we still got time with Burrow, whereas big Whit was retiring. Absolutely incredible person.
Great guests , great host obviously, great content, but I can’t stop watching this show because of the HUMAN BOBBLEHEAD DOLL PRODUCER!!
That shoulder to head width ratio is an anti-Fibonacci phenomenon!! Cant stop watching just for him to flash on the screen! How does his head stay on!??!
AW is the biggest bandwagon fan ever lmfao. Grew up in the 80s/90s rooting for the 49ers and cowboys and then "because there was no pro sports in northern Louisiana" was a DUKE fan 😂😂😂
you gotta get troy polamalu on on the pod
This is amazing! Awesome o-line content from Big Whit!
Can we get Devin Hester or Brian Urlacher on
Lol im sick of edleman sitting with his damn legs crossed all super comfortable n shit 😂😂😂😂,,,sit up mf
Awesome episode
sucks to hear that just because you play a certain "non flashy" position like OL that you are UNABLE to SPEAK. We really gotta respect the guys in the past bc thats fucked up and that is the most important part of the entire team besides the damn qb and DE.
Cool
We need Lawrence Taylor on !!!!!! One of the giants Super Bowls!!!
Bruce Matthews played 19 yrs until age 40 and Jackie Slater played 20 yrs until age 41. Big Whit is in some HOF company.
17:40 Two O linemen that have done broadcasting, aside from Andrew Whitworth, are Dan Dierdorf and Mark Schlereth. Schlereth is great at breaking plays down.

This makes even more sense when you realized he’s a Hydra agent
JULES
My fav play: Super Bowl 51 best catch
Fav memory: this is gonna be a hell of a story and “for your mom”😢❤
