New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce - Chiefs Trick Play Explained, Playoff Seeding & Introducing ‘The Newsies’ | New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce | Ep 21
Episode Date: January 11, 2023On the twenty-first episode of New Heights, Jason and Travis react to some of your incredible fan art (01:35) and we answer another of your not-dumb questions, “Which animal could actually play on a... football team?” (08:03) We react to both the Eagles and the Chiefs clinching the #1 seeds in the playoffs and how the playoff bye week impacts players physically and mentally. (17:24) Travis breaks down how the Chiefs “Ring Around the Rosie” play actually happened against the Raiders (26:15) and shares some of his favorite stories of his decade with Coach Reid (32:12). Jason gives us a look into what it was like having Jalen “The System” Hurts back in the huddle (41:58) and how this Eagles record-setting offense took flight this season (44:48). The guys look at some of the wildest storylines from Week 18 in the NFL from the electric opening kickoff return in the Bills game (50:30), to Lovie Smith going out winning (53:57), the Lions upsetting the Packers (57:30), and why we don’t see college coaches succeed in the NFL (01:00:54). And finally, since we don’t have a Chiefs or Eagles game to preview, we thought we would take a look back on the NFL regular season and hand out the first-ever New Heights Awards, The Newsies! (01:06:05) Categories include; the New Best Friend Awards, Stat line of the Year, The Shit We Didn’t See Coming, and more!

Or what they were to put two and two together like the the shows name.
Why it's called and why I'm here. Yes.
For Taylor asked me, uh, does was the moment in college, a the pivotal moment in my life.
And in my head, I was like, the pivot.
Is this what this pun is?
This is this is the puns is why we're here.
Yeah, because you want to know about that pivotal time.
Yes, it actually is, Mr. Taylor.
And it was the pivotal moment in my life to where I moved
to tight end.
That was the biggest thing.
You know what I mean?
Not a quarterback.
That was huge.
Good foresight by who was the coach that made that decision
like initially?
Well, I mean, I was playing what I was doing the wild cast stuff.
I did put my hand in the dirt.
Well, at the time we were putting our hands on the hips.
What do we do in line blocking?
Talk about a weird stance.
But um, yeah, when I finally moved that the entire position that was a
butch Jones, he told me he doesn't need a quarterback.
He needs, uh, he needs a tight end.
He's got plenty of quarterbacks.
So I was just like, well, anyway, I can get on the
field coach at this point. Anyway, I can get back in the team.
So shout out to Bush Jones. Thank you, butch. Appreciate to
boot. Alrighty.
Fair mentions. Shout out to the pivot. Yeah, shout out to
pivot Ryan. You guys are doing a great thing over there. It was
fun conversation. Yeah. Alrighty. yeah, let's get to the fan mentions of the week.
Another edition of parents teaching their kids how to say new news, new news. Awesome little
submission here. We got very young kids starting them off right in life with some new news. Uh,
I mean, this is like, I don't know how old that kid is, but that's like
Pretty much close to an infant right now. That's an infant for sure new news
There we go little swivel chair
Yeah, you know, I mean that's what you like to see. You gotta love it, man. You gotta love it. Little did we know we were gonna be
Influencing the infants out here. Yeah, do you think new news was that child's first words? I thought that's why they posted it because it was
Oh, no, I don't think that that was
I mean, it's it's an easy one to say it's basically stated. Yeah, what no. What's I'm saying? I think new news is a, you know, you've got dead-dha, mama,
and now, new news.
New news.
Love you guys, teaching your kids, you know,
some new hip lingo.
And yeah, I think I speak for both of us.
And, you know, we're still looking to sign that baby.
We've been waiting to sign babies.
Now that we're teaching babies how to say new news,
I think we can officially get into the sign
and baby business.
Just give me that magic marker.
Don't be that sharpie.
No sharpie.
We also got a big yeti-sighting in Vegas.
Yeah, we did.
Which, I think is a very accurate assessment
of your chest here.
Have you ever thought about shaving,
have you ever thought about shaving big Yeti in the hair?
Like, like, it being, you could read it.
Like, like, what's that 40 year old virgin
when they like just wax big Yeti into your chest there?
I do.
I think you gotta do it.
I'm not about to 40 over
We got it. We got a replay. We got a re we got to make this image happen my I'm
I'm like my eyes are I'm tearing up already tearing up. I can't I cannot imagine I think I I think I did my back hair one time
You wax your back wax my back hair. Yeah, and I was bleeding
You're bleeding
I put on a shirt and somebody told me like you have like random red spots on your back
I'm like was this like a certified professional waxer or was this like
Yeah, I guess I just got some I just got to skitter something yeah, yeah
Wow, all right stuff you know you don't know can happen with waxing. Well, he was bleeding in a 40-o'-o'-vergine too.
Was he?
Oh, his nipples.
Nipples are bleeding.
That's right.
Hey, can't go waxing nature's thermostat there.
It's not a...
Gotta keep them babies sensitive.
If you want to have any idea what temperature it is.
New ice road trip artwork.
This is probably my favorite fan mentioned of the week.
It's interesting. It's very detailed. I just I mean it's
got a very apocalyptic feel. I don't know what is going on. So that led us to
this moment in this piece of artwork. There is. But I dig it. For some reason we have
major either dirt or eyeshadow all over.
We just kind of
the regular season. That's what it's doing, right? Yeah.
We got the mumbles hat in the back. We got the beer in the back.
We got an ego flying with a Lamarity trophy.
Lamarity in the back to get to Lamarities up. Confetti all over the place.
This is just this is a really nice. Well done. It's well done
It's given me for some reason I'm getting major escape from New York vibes I don't know if it's because I kind of look like snake from escape from New York. Do you ever what do you remember that movie?
Nope, no, this is the way my head will move on all right anyways
How's the awesome piece of artwork?
For those listening if you want to see this, you can go and check out the show on
YouTube. Obviously everybody who's listening, I podcast for them, just got nothing out of their
entire segment. So I'm sorry to have wasted five to ten minutes of your day, but take five more
minutes and go check us out on YouTube. Yeah, gain some reference. There we go. Point of view.
All right, here we go. It's time for it's become in my

one of your not dumb questions and this week's dumb question is brought to you
by our friends at Nerdwallet. If you want to make smarter decisions about your
money, check out our friends at Nerdwallet. If you want to make smarter decisions about your money, check out our
friends at Nerdwallet. If you want someone to answer your not-dumb football questions, ask
us. So let's get to the not-dumb question provided by Brandon Smith at New Heights Show,
what animal, if properly trained,
would be most value on a football team
and what position would they play?
Properly trained.
Well, as a fan of animals and football,
I'm a big fan of combining this right here
and having this discussion.
So I think there's some groundwork we gotta establish.
This is not a team of animals, this is just one animal.
One animal.
Right, so we have 10 players, one animal in the field. Yeah. Both teams get an animal. Right? Any team playing
gets an animal. What animal if properly trained would give lead to the biggest advantage or best team?
A lot of things to consider. Yeah. A lot of things to consider. Are we going to the obvious one is probably big foot, right?
I mean, he's the most human.
Travis, we're not talking about.
And we're not talking about that could actually like catch a football run with it.
Um, Travis, there's no Sam.
I sounded one game.
There's no Sam squanches.
There's no, uh, a bomb and a snowman.
There's no dragons.
We're talking about things that you can find in a zoo or have
optically been
observed to have existed, although Bigfoot, there are some
facilities. Well, yeah, but there's also some historical precedents of great apes that were that large. I forget what that thing's called.
Something like an orangutanish
animal research, man. Discussing research. But we're going to leave out the mythical beasts
on this show for right now.
And we're only going to discuss observably real animals.
Still a lot of areas to go with this.
We can go, obviously, is it a bipedal or a quadrupedal
animal?
Is it an aerial subterranean?
Who knows?
What, do you have any choices you're gonna go with?
I'm assuming you're just talking about animals
on all four versus two.
That's quadrupedal and bipedal.
Is it bipedal, bipedal?
Yeah.
Air also known as a bird.
Man.
Subterranean, be something like a bird. Man.
Subterranean, be something like a gopher.
I would be inclined to go subterranean,
but I think they're too small to grab a football.
Like the biggest subterranean animal would be a like a wombat.
But what about a, what about a, what about a, what about a,
and I don't know how fast they are digging, because I mean, really,
so the problem with aerial animals is
For you to be considered in the field are out of bounds. You got to get to feed in you got to get to feed in before you're before it's a catch
And
Subterranean in the NFL you can touch the ground until you're touched you're not down
So a wombat in theory could tunnel a little hole right to the other end zone.
Pop his little wombat head up with the football.
Touchdown.
But I don't know how he's going to carry the football.
I don't think their hands are big enough.
I don't know how quick they are at tunneling.
So I'm going to go, I'm saying the wombat's out.
Then you go into just big physical specimen animals.
You know, you got gorillas, bear, cheetah, pretty fast.
Pretty damn fast.
But you gotta think, how is this thing gonna carry the ball?
Yeah, no.
What's carry in the ball?
You gotta go with the old, was it the bipedal?
You gotta go bipedal, I think.
Bipedal, well, bears can be bipedal.
So can gorillas, you've seen those things at the zoo
where the gorilla's walking on two feet.
You know, you can go bipedal, holding that thing
in one big paw.
But a bear in a line, they could also hold in their mouth.
If properly trained,
if properly trained, are big enough.
That's why Brandon put properly trained.
That's right.
Same thing with a tiger.
I would honestly, I think the greatest athletes
in the animal kingdom appear to be cats.
Oh, the cats were, yeah.
Yeah, you know what I mean?
Big cats.
Big, even small cats are pretty good athletes, but yeah, I think I think a lion or a
pooma, I mean, that's an athletic creature right there.
I see, I've seen a leopard do some crazy shit.
Yeah.
I mean, not in person, obviously.
But anyways, this is all leading to
what I think the real answer is, which is an eagle.
Talents are big enough to hold a ball. But like you said, you got to touch you give it to
the eagle. It's going to fly faster to the end zone than anything in run. It'll just
and it's going to touch down. But if we know the Eagles on the field, we just put somebody
in the end zone and wait for it to try and
Touch down right you're talking about it has to be in the field to play yeah
There's one thing on the ground and throw it out of bounds. So what's taking the Eagle?
What what thing are you putting on the field if it's not Eagle?
I mean you got to choose you got to go I
Would say gorilla I'm thinking gorilla man a gorilla or a grizzly bear I
Mean a grizzly bear man
Those things I mean if we're going size you gotta go elephant though. What's gonna tackle an elephant?
Nothing's gonna tackle an elephant
And it's got that big old trunk you can throw it in there in the red zone. It's just gonna come down with any jump ball
No, not an elephant elephants. You can't break down an elephant. Fuck. Right? Is the bear taking
down an elephant? That'd be good. Can you trip an elephant up? I don't think so. It's quadrupedal.
It's hard to trip up a quadrupedal animal. It's got three other legs. Yeah, you got it by Pito.
That's how you went to me stick your leg out.
Um, I don't know, man.
I think back zones it.
I still think I'm going Eagle.
Um, for obvious reasons.
Oh, our producers are now informing us.
We have to give it a position.
Uh, an eagle would obviously be a receiver.
Um, it would be off the field on defense, which maybe that's maybe that's why you can't you shouldn't do Eagle
It's not gonna be able to play both ways. Oh
Yeah, how's the needle gonna tackle anything? I'll figure play both ways
I don't get hippopotamus hippopotamus. Maybe you go hippo because there it's an angry animal too. I think you need a
Dresshing in the in the field of play.
Now, I'm still going, I'm going elephant.
It's too big.
It's too big of a problem.
I'm going properly trained gorilla.
And the only thing is you could actually properly train an elephant.
Those things are smart.
Smart.
Yeah, I was about to say you got to take in what can you,
what can you get it to actually do? What a perform like?
Now you can get, I think you can get a grill
and catch a football and run with it.
Well, we're assuming that all of these animals
are capable of learning.
For NXZU.
No, you can't.
No, that's what it is.
Well, that's what the question is.
Assuming the properly trained animal,
that means it's properly trained to be able to be trained though.
Correct.
Well, no, no, no, I think we're taking the metal aspect out.
We're just talking about physical characteristics.
I think that that's the the debate.
You still have not chosen an animal.
What animal are you choosing the closest thing to a Yeti?
A gorilla.
A gorilla?
Yes.
I think it's a bad choice.
I got short legs.
I got short legs.
Ever seen gorilla?
They got short legs. Got long arms,. Ever seen gorilla. They got short legs.
Got long arms, but they, I'm not sold on the gorilla. They got, they can be both quadro and
bipedal. They're also lazy. Gorillas are lazy. They sit around a lot. They, they're not,
you see, but they don't have to really train it. Give, give, give a gorilla some pre workout.
Listen, you want to see a stiff arm? That elephant throwing that
stiff arm trunk out there, that stiff trunk? That stiff trunk? That stiff trunk? How you
gonna defend the stiff trunk? I just want somewhere else with that. Gosh, I was going
in the gutter. So yeah, that does it for for no dumb questions. Just two dumb people talking
about it. No dumb questions is brought to you by our friends at Nerdwallet.
If you want to make smarter decisions about your money, check out our friends at Nerdwallet.
And if you want someone to answer your not dumb football questions, maybe about Elephants playing football, just ask us.
Yeah.
All right.
The other positive about the elephant, I just thought about elephants always remember.
They never forget.
Good luck. They never forget.
Good luck. They're also scared of mice.
Maybe you should have picked them out soon.
That would have been probably the best way to counter that.
And you can train mice.
Yeah, I guess you can.
Do we forget about airbud?
Hey, airbud was a...
Airbud, yeah.
What's it?
It was a reasonably basketball
then they tried to make a football one.
It's to be honest, airbud competed really, really well against a bunch of 10 and 11 year olds.
Full grown men, they're gonna slap the shit out of that.
Okay.
There's no way a golden retriever's playing basketball with Kevin Durant out there.
This guy's got a good point.
Well, let's move on.
And before we wrap up week 18,
we should talk about the playoffs.
I'll be straight running through new heights, baby.
We did it.
Number one seeds across the board, baby.
Chiefs Eagles.
Double, double number one.
We are both lynched.
We are both lynched.
We back ourselves into that one.
You want to talk about, you know,
that was, we made it tight.
Somehow it happened. I'm uh, we made it tight.
Somehow it happened.
I'm not quite sure how it happened.
Uh, made it about as hard as you can make it.
Football, football happened.
It's a crazy game, man.
Did you celebrate? Did you celebrate when you got the number one seed or was just like, gosh, they
gosh, hell yeah.
You kidding me?
Yeah, we were happy.
We didn't, I didn't like keep my hat.
You guys got number one seed hats?
Well, we got NFC conference championship hats.
Yeah.
It took us to the very last game.
We've had a chance to clinch this for the last two weeks
and it took us all the way to the wire
to get it against the Giants.
We got.
Who are resting?
So, you know, but we'll take it.
You think it's more of the first seed getting that, getting that by week.
You think it's more physical or mental?
Both.
Both.
It's all in both, huh?
Yeah, but I mean, physically, obviously, having a by week is major.
The other thing that I think is underrated is you get a week where you're not preparing
for an opponent.
You're just focusing on yourself and it's not just players.
Like, it's coaches like everybody gets a chance to like,
do a big time self evaluation, you go back to doing drills,
that you haven't done since training camp.
Yeah.
You know, you're doing things that really are much more
about honing your game as opposed to preparing for someone else.
And you try to keep track of this stuff in the regular season,
but in the grand scheme of like, you know,
one trying to stay healthy and fresh,
two trying to prepare for opponent,
you know, you lose track of some of these drills.
And so I think it's a great week.
You know, chance to go back out there and work some of these technique things.
You haven't done for at this point three months four months. Which one's it which uh which drills you do in Jason
I'm trying to um I love sets on squares I love sets on squares everything starts with your feet
um towel drill huh towel drill what's towel drill will roll up the towel? Put it on and get on the track.
I don't know which one this is. That's a George Kittle drill.
He does it. And so I do it. Try to make me better blocker.
He taught us it at a tight end you.
I don't know this drill is so I don't roll up a towel. You roll up a towel.
You put it put it on a line. You act you act as if that's the track.
You know, you work on your footwork six inch steps not take it too big of it
Yeah, I just use the line. Yeah, what do I need a tile for if you have a line?
I do I do believe in not everybody has a line Jason
Well, I mean we have lines. We have a whole field pain with lines on it. I grab one of the lines
I step over the line. There you go. We got to get this thing back on track
All right, I'm looking forward to sets on squares. I'm looking forward to
Even just working bass blocks and fits with my hands looking forward to maybe doing some one-on-one pass sets. Oh
Pads on the pants on we're putting the pads on baby. You guys not putting the pants on. It's come on now. It's good to read
It's old school old school guy. You know exactly. All right. Alright she put the pads pads pads have been on
They have not been on they have not been on who you line to
But they will be on this week but that's the benefit of the by-week you put the pads back on you go out there
You do some things you have control nobody on the ground. Nope everyone stays off the ground
Always you're new you know that we get some working baby baby yeah a lot of guys getting out of town
I got you got guys jumping out of town I don't know so far we don't know anybody that's jumping out of town
I think I think it's a good good chance to rest up and you don't want to sit around the couch all week
you want to keep the body moving you don't want to get you don't want to get lazy but right
I don't know too many people there are there know, jumping out of town like they would on a season by week.
That is.
Yeah.
I don't know.
In season by week.
I haven't heard too many people leave in town, but I'm sure there's some of the guys will.
Yeah.
You're not got you guys aren't going down the down the Florida jumping on a yacht with tracings.
No, definitely not.
Definitely.
I don't know. I don't know that I'd be doing that regardless. to jump it on a yacht with Tray songs. No, definitely not. Definitely not.
I don't know that I'd be doing that regardless.
But there might be some guys doing it.
I don't know.
I'm not against me for everybody.
I don't think there's anything wrong with it.
I don't think it's gonna impact playing a football game
the following week.
So, hey, if you guys want to go hop on a boat
with Tray songs, go for it.
The show.
Got that importance of home field
advantage man.
You can't say enough about what that means,
especially in cities like Philly and Kansas City,
man, where you got die hard football fans.
Yeah.
Screeping their tail off and really making it
an advantage when you play at the house.
Yeah, that's obviously the other advantage of the number one seed
is everything runs through your field.
Yeah, so, you know, we've last time we did this in Philly,
we had some unbelievably electric environments at the link.
I was there.
I was there for a few.
I think it'll be the same way this time around.
I'll be looking forward to watching the games this week
to see who we end up playing.
Me and you both, brother.
Traff.
Yeah, but.
Get a quick hypothetical for you.
Fourth and one. What is the smart decision?
I've heard this one before man. We all know the answer. I'm assuming you're talking about the other 8%.
You could either roll out the pocket, maybe throw it deep. You know, everyone's thinking you're going for one yard.
Go for a longer touchdown. Come on. What you got?

This weird play that what do you want to do? Guys? First of all, what was this? This was I think.
What did you guys, first of all, what was this? This was, I think, what is it?
The, this is what happens when a whole bunch of guys
just stay in a cube room for so long
that they just start making up shit.
And I think, what can we do
that could just throw the other team off, right?
And that's what the quarterbacks were doing.
And more? Yeah, I don't have anything to do
with this play.
I usually throw my two cents and say, hey, we should do this,
we should do that.
And I just, I came in on Friday and this was the play
in the red zone.
The quarterback room is the one that came up with this play?
Yeah, the QB room definitely came up with this one.
The old, what do you call it?
You know, you guys called it, what did you guys call it?
We called it the Arctic Circle of Death.
Snow globe left.
Snow globe left.
Snow globe left.
Listen, you guys.
Rain deer personnel, it was originally supposed to be
like a Christmas game.
Rain deer, this was like a Christmas game.
The Christmas game.
Supposed to be a fun Christmas game.
It's been in for a minute.
Yes, it's been in for a little while.
We had to make sure we called it when in the right time,
being up and I think it was two scores, three scores
in the third quarter or five quarter.
I figured which quarter we actually ran it in.
Yeah, you guys are winning. It's one of those plays that gets called.
You can't you can't call that down.
I mean, you can. You can. That's one of those plays that gets called when you're up a few scores and
You're just going for style points. It was yeah, it was definitely a style points kind of play
I
I thought it was a little bit of a you know I
Thought it was only supposed to be for Christmas because a play like that can it can look like a fuck you play
if it's not like I don't know.
You don't want to be a showboat.
Yeah, you know what I mean?
You don't want to.
Yeah, but it's the Raiders.
So I don't know.
Yeah, I mean, listen to the NFL.
I'm there.
It's all, you know, everything's live.
That's the that's the fun of it.
That's the fun of being in a coach read offense.
That's the fun of, you know, going through a season like this.
You start making up wacky stuff and finally put it
put it into into a game.
It works.
You know what I mean?
When crazy stuff like that works,
it's just a whole lot more fun in the business.
Well, there's always one or two of these kind of crazy plays in every week
and you usually don't run it.
You run it when you're winning.
Not quite.
When you're running, when you're winning by quite a bit.
And I don't care what you guys call it.
Snow globe, Arctic death, that's all nonsense.
That was ring around the pose.
I've seen ring around the pose
and I've seen ring around the Tony now.
That's right around the Tony.
Yeah, that's a classic childhood game right there.
And I thought it was a genius way to try and create deception.
And you want to talk about flanking?
Listen, you can't flank it.
That's a flanking fly right there.
You're right.
Over here.
Hey, over here.
Just law them to sleep.
Which it was a touchdown, if not for in my opinion a really bad call on Creed Humphrey.
Refreshing on the fun, man.
Yeah.
Ref just had to ruin the fun, man.
We're all just trying to have a time.
It was so confusing.
I confused the refs.
That's how you know it's a good play.
They can't do that.
Not allowed.
I don't know what just happened, but that's not allowed. 52. 52. I saw I saw him throw somebody on the ground.
Not everyone loved it. Bronco is often to guard Quinn miners. The chiefs little ring around
the Rosie play versus the Raiders piss me off. Okay. Why? I mean, because that's what I'm saying.
It's kind of a fuck you play. It is. In sense, but it was every play is a fuck you play. Yeah.
What are we talking about?
I guess he doesn't like it. He doesn't like it.
Well, be better. I don't know. It just sounds like I mean, he's a Broncos guy. Not surprising. Broncos guy is feeling a certain way about the chief season
And I like Quinn Miners. I mean, this is a guy who was pass blocking a tree if you guys can find that production. Oh, that's coming up
You remember this guy and he's over here upset about the ring around the rosy this guy
Stop it on a tree and now the sun ring around the pose
Not only that's easy. Not only is he doing that he's recording it. Yeah, you're recording you blocking a tree
I mean I loved it. I loved every second of it and I love the way this guy plays the game about to be the backyard
Getting after it today. Yeah, listen
Get some maybe that's the by-week
Back to the basics, baby back to the basics, baby put these 10 punch tight
Right to the sternum were you at all dizzy when you guys were doing the Arctic
Circle, Defcon 5, whatever you guys ended up calling it. Ring around the rosy
plate. You know that moment that you get on a rollercoaster and you're like
going up the rollercoaster real slow. Like a building. Yeah, it's like building
like we're really doing this. When I put my arms around the guys and we started going to circle. I was just like
Was anybody laughing in the middle of the play there had to be people laughing and we all were like
Oh, wow, we're really gonna run this. This is what we're doing. That's why I'm like it's like it felt like you know
I mean like oh my gosh, this is happening. This is kind of like that point where you guys like reach up
I was like, when
when KT when the joke had caught it and I saw him like break that first like, I don't even
want to say it was a tackle, but broke through one of the tackles. It was like, yes,
working. And yeah, the referee would it. Yeah, well, listen, let's not get on the rest. Okay, they got enough people getting on them. No, I
could see by I mean, I could see you
going to the next one exactly already
decade of Andy Reed in Kansas City. What a legend man. What I mean, he's been there for 10 years now, which is crazy to think about because he was in
I mean, he's in Philadelphia when I first got in the league. He's one of the draft to me. So, what?
Nine times won the division seven. Yeah, you've been with him the entire time. You're
first, you were part of his first draft in Kansas City. So what? Have you noticed anything
change or evolve in the 10 years you've been with him? Not really. I feel like he's been
pretty steady. I mean, he's a old-school style
coach. You know what I mean? He's got a method, a certain routine year and
year-out of how to make a team better, how to get a team, you know, rested and
when it needs to, how to get a team motivated. He's got his certain ways.
And he doesn't like, he doesn't fray from it at all.
And that's what makes him great.
He keeps the pedal.
He keeps his foot on the pedal when it comes to motivating
and making sure you're doing your job.
And he does it in a fun way, man.
And that's why we have a lot of fun winning games out here.
Yeah, I think Andy, obviously, I think he's the best coach in the time I've
been in the NFL. There'd be one other guy you could probably consider over in New England.
But yeah, you know, I don't think you've become the best by continually changing and evolving.
I think you you've become the best and remain there for as long as he has both in Philadelphia and Kansas City
because of who he is and his natural ability to lead,
his natural ability to get the best out of the people
around him to manage human beings,
emotional intelligence, Andy Reed has all of that stuff.
And you change and evolve scheme you
change and evolve how to attack and what you're gonna do on the field but I got
to think Andy Reed probably is Andy Reed every day baby you know what you get
yeah yeah you got a favor favor Andy Reed story and a 10 years you've been there
Man favorite Andy Reed story. Yeah, it's tough a lot of them. I'm sure
Yeah, there's do you a you inclined
When I ask you that question do you immediately think of positive Andy Reed memories or negative Andy Reed?
Because the ones I think of are negative about my reactions And Andy Reed for the most part. Yeah, you know, I still remember
I was you just knew I was going in the tank there. I was like, you know, I don't want to tell that one
Well, because I don't want to tell that one. Well, I think Andy
We already told one Andy loves Andy loves you up
Andy, um, we already told one. Andy loves Andy loves you up. Right? He loves up all of his guys. Right. He's a he's a just that type of guy. But, um, I think
everybody knows that a pissed off Andy Reed is like the most imprint like when
Andy is mad at you, there is nothing you feel. It's like an aura in the room. Right? Oh
yeah. It's like man. I don't know what big bears, man,
big bear, man.
It's not good.
That's tight it up.
A tight it up.
Tighten up.
Tighten up.
Um, 100%.
And like you said, he's like, that's just how he is.
But that's how he motivates.
That's how he keeps the discipline on everybody.
You know what I mean?
He always wants everybody to show their personality.
But at the end of the day, we meet business.
And that's at the forefront of every single year,
every single day, is that we're gonna be taking care of business.
What a big red.
Big red has some awesome post game moments too.
Some coaches will, you know what I mean?
Movie day, you know, we're not practicing.
Let's go to the water park. We're practicing. You guys gonna go to the water park we're not practicing let's go to the water park
we're practicing you guys gonna go to the water park? No we're not going to the water park every day
is what it's supposed to be and that's practice and what? That's been the breakdown of like every
last practice of OTAs is like water park on three
you know it's gonna be some type of shenanigans on that last day. What, so, yeah, I mean, well, you got this past one.
I thought you got that, you give him a cheeseburger for Christmas, but that was great.
Oh, yeah.
Isn't there some like, wasn't there like a cool aid, like a big red moment thing?
What am I thinking of?
He came running into the after lock.
I'm right. He was in the locker room after a win. He came running in there.
I'll fire it up and share enough man. They made they put a big brick wall.
Somebody did some some good editing. Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm tired of this cool a man breaking through the wall. That was classic.
I don't know. My favorite Andy Reed stories are probably my draft day.
I think we had
I've already told that story. I was I got I got a pretty good one that happened
just a couple days ago. I am I was feeling it after after last game and we had a
short week this past week. So I think who was it that we played?
It was a Bronco. So we played the Broncos. God banged up, took a few big hits, and I'm trying
to go to work on a Tuesday, and we have walkthrough and stuff. So I'm walking around out there and some
some like lawn mowers, like some shoes that I've had in the closet or in my locker for
since like 2015 and I got this long sleeve on.
I had probably hadn't had a haircut in like two weeks and I'm moving 10 times slower
than everybody else.
And Coach Reed were watching the film afterwards and we're just watching him walk through.
Paul is circles me with the laser,
and says, there's what 7 on 7 at the retirement home looks like.
And I didn't say shit.
I was just the oldest one of the room moving the slowest.
Just like, it's a good one big red.
Got no taken.
All right.
Pick that up next time.
He's got little, he's got little sayings like that man that make it fun.
It's hard to, that's one of the reasons it's hard to do a favorite Andy Reach story because
like it's, it's all of the best stories are only good because of Andy Reed and his like
personality and who he is makes all of these moments memorable and impactful.
Well, we need to talk about a quote from you.
Everybody's always asking how the heck I get open.
I'm like, well, I got coach Reed, baby.
Big red.
When you got coach Reed, he can get anybody open.
He can get my dad open if he was out there.
Big head.
He could actually be good.
That might be the one person he won't be able to get open.
Let's be honest.
He ain't, they get an open anywhere. He ain't big head and open anywhere.
He ain't got no knees, man.
No, the knees don't work.
He's got new knees.
He's got new knees.
He's got new knees.
He, uh, I will say we were talking about he doesn't, he doesn't really change,
but you talked about how scheme always has to change.
Always has to keep evolving.
Um, I mentioned it before. How he's changed the tight end position for a guy like me. always has to change, always has to keep evolving.
I mentioned it before, how he's changed the tight end position for a guy like me.
What the tight end looks like in this offense is way different
than what it was when I first got into the league.
Especially here in Kansas City with Alex Smith and then Pat,
having Ty Riek out there changed a lot of what we were doing
and the
type of routes that I could run.
But Coach Reed nonstop evolved this tight end position for me.
And I can't say how much I love him for that.
Coach HECK, Andy HECK, our offensive line coach, Brung Game Guy, also helped transition
me into that role.
Seeing how much the RPOs have changed the tight end position
in the offense in general.
And with that, it's just like the evolution and coach read
being the creative genius behind it all.
A lot of people don't understand coach read.
It was a tight end coach in Green Bay.
Like he understands the position.
He was an online coach at other
spots in college. Yeah. So he gets the grand scheme of things for sure. And he understands
the type of mismatches a tight end could have. So I owe a lot of my career, if not all my
career, to that big guy. So cheers to tears of 10 more. Yeah, sum up this season in one word for the Kansas City Chiefs so far.
I don't have a very big vocabulary.
This is going to be tough.
It doesn't have to be a big word.
It has to be meaningful, you know what I mean?
I don't know meanings.
I would say one word as planned.
Two words, but maybe you can say it's hyphenated.
Hyphenated.
If somebody with a bigger vocabulary can give me one word that describes as planned.
As planned.
Help me out here.
Forciable.
There we go, forciable.
Saw coming.
New it.
All righty. How do you do? foreseeable. There we go foreseeable. Saw coming. New it. Alrighty.
How do you do? If you were to ask me before the season,
will we win the division? Yes. Will we get the number one seed? Yes.
Well, not everybody was on board with that. We'll get to that in a little bit.
But you had a lot of people that didn't know if the chiefs were going to be able to
be the same team of old. Listen, it's a lot of dumb questions.
It's a lot of dumb it's a lot of dumb questions it's a lot of dumb and a lot of dumb ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah against Eagles 22, Giants 16. Jaylen's back. Got it. Back, baby.
The system is back.
After missing two games, two tough games for the Eagles going into the last one, gotta
win to get the number one seed.
You guys go handle business, baby.
It was at the link, wasn't it?
It was at the link.
At the link.
Not a bag gig.
Not a bag gig.
At the link against the Giants.
What was the prep like this week for Jalen?
Was he out there? Was he practicing every single week?
Or, I mean, I don't want to get into or every single day or it was.
He was. Yeah, he was out there every day.
Obviously, he's still a little banged up and not 100% healthy.
So the full system was a little bit different.
But man, he's been itching
to get back out of the field. And you can see it on his face. He's a guy that always wants
to be out there. You know, shout out to amigardner, Mentsch, you played his tail off in Jalen's
absence. But it was nice to have Jalen back out there. And, you know, we've played a lot
of games with Jalen at this point. You you know his personality who he is his leadership abilities all these things culminate into you know making for
a pretty dang dynamic and efficient offense so there's awesome to have him back out there this week
well he was he was in quotes saying I feel like coming into this game I've been pushing myself
beyond measure to try and be available.
And as you would expect absolutely nothing else, nothing less from him as a competitor and just a leader on that team.
But is it harder to get ready for a team that really doesn't have much to play for?
It's definitely different.
Yeah. Yeah, I think you know, when you're playing a team that already
is clinched and you don't know if they're resting, who's playing, it just leads to more unknowns
that are going to happen on game day. You know, you don't know what personnel is going to be out there.
You know, the coordinators are likely not going to stick to the script that they're usually
sticking to with the starters out there.
Yeah.
You know, so, you know, I thought, you know, it's one of those things where you've got to be ready for anything.
Do you have more curve balls?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And, you know, you're waiting up until game day to find out who's playing.
So, obviously, Chien's elected to rest a lot of guys.
But, man, Wink was dialing it up.
Their defense of court and
they wasn't holding back.
Their coaches obviously are a big reason
that they've been so successful.
So, you know, I think it certainly wasn't easy.
That's the nature.
You always got to be ready for those special teams,
fakes, man.
Those games, everything.
Yeah, they did a surprise on side for the second half.
Get it?
Did they get it? They did not. They missed it.
But it's unfortunate. You're right. Yeah, you always got to be ready for this stuff.
Eagles offensive records. That might be the best Eagles offensive season of all time.
If you're looking at these numbers. Statistically, I think, yeah.
Even better than the dream team. Yeah, I mean, you know, I think it's in some ways like all these numbers from here on out
Are a little bit different because you have another team
But you know a lot of these numbers were set in place long before this last game
Yeah, I hear you on that I hear you on that but AJ Brown most yards in a in a season for his career or actually
My quick trick, would I think my quick?
for his career or actually my quick record I think my quick wow oh nice it wasn't just for him it was no no this is the Eagles most receiving yards in a single season and then
obviously my standards first thousand yard season since shady Devante Smith most receptions
in a season 95 I thought I thought that was going to be a little higher. I think that that is a wide receipt. I think Eurts holds the record for most
receptions, but maybe I'm wrong. Definitely broke the record. He broke the tight end record for,
I think he had like 113. So it's definitely receivers for sure.
Gotcha.
Jalen Hertz, most rushing TDs by an Eagles, QB and a season franchise record in yards as well, very QB. And then the franchise points,
the points, the most points, 477 points. That's a lot. That's a lot. Touchdowns. Yeah, we
did a good job of finding the ends on the shear. Yeah, we had a dynamic group of guys. I mean,
we ended last season with a lot of momentum. you know, I think one of the stats that people have put up is you know, Jalen hurts since week 10 of last year is
19 and one or something like that like
You know, it's and that might have been before this last game, but you know, we ended last season well
We obviously adding AJ Brown
You know, you're curious to how that's going
to fit in, but pretty darn good player. So you think it's going to make a big difference.
And the Vante Smith, the Vante Smith being a year older, the coaches being another year
with the same group of guys, Jalen being the same year with the coaches. Got a great
offensive line. You know, I mean, we've got a lot of really really good pieces and
It's been a really fun year for our offense
Well, we um, we're still waiting on that Jason Kelsey touchdown, man. I mean
Come on come on coach. We got a dial it up if we're dialing up the Arctic Circle of Death Snow globe left out of reindeer personnel. We can figure out something for Jason Kelsey
I think Jason Kelsey is good on as long as I'm blocking for a touchdown I'm happy.
I don't need to be catching any balls. That's a lot of added pressure right there.
All right now. So what sums that we got to do it? Do it for your team as well, man. What sums
up the season in one word for the 2022 third off of Eagles? Man, I would say unfinished. Damn, that's good, man.
Yeah, I think we're very happy with where we're at this year
and we're happy that we're the number one seed.
But that ain't the goal.
Winning the regular season is great.
It's a hard accomplishment for winning the regular season
for the NFC.
But I think that all of us would like to make
this season a lot more meaningful than that.
And, you know, it's not done.
And, you know, we're trying to keep our focus on what's next.
Job not finish, man.

return dog electric what an emotional what an emotional day, emotional game.
Everything leading up to it that the broadcast did.
When you have these crazy people that say
the NFL is scripted, stuff like this happens
and you're like, the NFL might be scripted.
Man, I was, I mean, I was so emotional,
I got chills and like, I almost got like teary eyed.
Like that was an electric, electric play for it
to happen like it did.
How the beginning of the game was built up all around
tomorrow and his family and just, you know,
being thankful that he's all right.
And then you see, what is it?
Nahim.
Nahim Hines.
Nahim Hines. Nahim Hines. Nahim Hines. He had two of them too.
It wasn't just that first one. The second one was electric too, but that first one, man.
Yeah, that first one was it though. Yeah, it was like coming right off of a canceled game.
Obviously with the DeMar Hamlin injury, which thankfully we've gotten a lot of great news on that front. But man, this was, you know, we were getting ready to play our game.
And I went into the training room to catch the only TV that's in there.
And see what's going on across the league.
And I knew this game was starting. I was interested to see what was going to happen.
You could see the emotion, you could feel the emotion leading up to it.
You could feel it.
And the moment that that thing happened,
it was, I mean, you couldn't help but be just like.
Happy for it.
Jubilee did.
I mean, it was just a sense of euphoria across,
I think the entire NFL community,
when that happened, if you were watching it,
and to see the look on, you know,
coach, Sean McDermans face, to see a look on, you know, coach, Shama Durman's face, to see a look on, you know, Josh, all these guys were so just like happy.
It was like a, like a weight had been lifted to signal that, you know, hey, we're back to doing
what we love. We're back out here doing this for tomorrow. We're back out here playing football.
for tomorrow, and we're back out here playing football.
I mean, you could not have come up with a better way to get back to playing football for the Buffalo Bills.
Awesome moment.
Awesome moment, man.
Did this week feel different for you?
No, I'm not gonna lie, it did not.
I approached it as a normal work week.
I think obviously all the stuff early on
with the unknown about Hamlin's injury,
you know, that was a little bit different, right?
But football, you know, we've kind of said this before, but I think, you know, that's one
of the things that for me doesn't really change.
I just go out there and play football.
It's my one way to escape.
So, no, that didn't, for me, that didn't feel any different,
but there's obviously different watching that game.
What's wild is you got, you got a,
DeMarie Hamlin, number three.
Everybody's throwing up the threes
throughout the entire game.
That was the bill's first kick return for a touchdown
in three years and three months.
Wow.
Number three was, he was in the building.
That's for sure.
Yeah.
Sure.
He's on everybody's mind, everybody's heart and there were a lot of guys playing for him.
And what an electric moment, man.
What an electric moment.
Next story, then we got, Lovey Smith goes out with a win, fired immediately afterwards,
but he got that win in beating the Colts
and securing or losing the number one pick,
securing the number two pick now I think.
Texans complete a fourth quarter come back,
trailing by seven in the fourth quarter,
they convert on fourth and 20 for a 28 yard touchdown.
I'll tell you what that play was.
And then instead of kicking in and going in over time,
oh, play for the win right now.
Hey, we're playing to win this game.
We're playing to win this game.
Lovey goes for two, gets it.
I love it, lovey.
I absolutely love it.
And a hell of a play call to two-point conversion.
Sealed the game form.
There was still, I think, like, 50 seconds left
or something like that.
But Texans ended up winning the game.
And do you think, I mean, it gave the Bears.
Lovey Smith was once a Bears coach.
Yeah.
Do you think he might have knew a little bit undercover?
Oh no man. I don't know
Offery awfully conspiratorial
Yeah, I mean it is crazy, you know the Texans lose obviously the first and 30 second picks, but I don't know for me
I'm always a fan of playing to win the game.
In the grand scheme of things,
what is the difference of the first and second pick?
Now at Chicago, they already got a quarter back.
You gotta think the Texans are gonna probably
I down one of these quarterbacks,
although I don't wanna speculate on where they're gonna go.
It's important to win in this league.
I know a lot gets said about tanking
and I just don't think there are that many instances that it makes sense to lose on purpose in the NFL
I can't I can't get on board with it. That's a damn sure and I don't think it's ever the players
We were talking about that earlier. Yeah, yeah, I think that this is usually players always play to win
For the yeah, I can't really think of unless you got some player that's in with Vegas or something like that.
I think every team I've ever been on,
the players are always playing as hard as they can.
And for the most part, I think the coaches
are as hard as they can.
I think that this is maybe something upstairs,
but I just don't think it makes that much sense.
Unless you have like a quarterback
that you think is going to be the next, you know, you
have my homes, Pat my homes, Tom Brady, Jalen hurts, you know, unless you got a guy at
number one that you believe that much in, nobody, no one player is going to make that big
of a difference as, as, as your team trying to lose a game collectively, I just don't, it's, it's different than basketball, you know, it collected, it's different than basketball.
It's different than other sports.
And even a basketball, I've seen it not paying out well.
Once you start losing games on purpose
in devaluing each and every game,
I think that's a dangerous road to go to the water.
Yeah, I had culture, that's a bad culture, man.
So I don't think it's-
Hopefully that's not what was happening, but. No, well,, it certainly wasn't they won the game. Yeah, good point now maybe
Some things happen upstairs and they do some things to try and maybe not put guys in the best position things like that
Yeah, that's where I'm at with the whole tanking thing and I love the love you Smith went out there to win
You play to win the game. You play football to win the game
to win the game. You play football to win the game.
Who are you quoting right now? I don't know. I think I've heard that before. Well,
already moving on to Lyon Seahawks, man, the Lyon's Packers,
the Lyon's saved the Seahawks season. They beat the Packers in Lambo to end the Packers season.
Another meaningless game meaningless. They're all meaningful. Come on
Listen, meaningless game especially where you're playing for day and camp oh baby
Yeah, you when you're biting kneecaps nothing is meaningless
Everything has meaning when you're biting kneecaps every every single step baby. Yeah, not green Bay out of the playoffs man
Lion safety Kirby Joseph after the game tweeted if we're not playing y'all not playing either.
I don't care.
Yeah.
What a quote, man.
Yeah.
If we're not playing y'all any other man.
That's how you that's how you know they've done surprise me.
That game had some meaning.
That game had some meaning.
You want to talk about a team.
First of all, the lines have been playing really, really good football the second half of
this season.
Almost snuck into the playoffs themselves, missed out on it by one game, I think last week.
I think Dan Campbell has put certainly an atmosphere in that building and in Detroit of hard work,
toughness, grit, and desire.
I mean, those guys play hard each and every game.
They run the ball hard.
Obviously, oh my gosh, what's his name?
Broke Bear Sanders record.
This is my way.
Thank you, Jim.
My Williams.
They got the right leaders too.
Like the guy like to move.
What is the hard out there, man?
So does not surprise me at all that these guys went out there and you know played a dangered game and knocked the Packers out. If you're the Packers,
man, that Lee that hurts man. That hurts big time. And they were in another team that was
great second half. Yeah, they're playing their best ball this part of the year. You know, I think
both of these teams would have been incredibly dangerous in the NFC playoffs because
they both were playing their best ball right now.
And you knew this game was going to be meaningful and a tough one for either one of them.
Is this Roger's last game, do you think?
No.
Well, last game in Green Bay.
They just extended them.
I don't think he leaves Green Bay. I think he stays in Green Bay, they just they just extended them.
I don't think he leaves Green Bay.
I think he stays in Green Bay.
I feel like every every season though is a big question on whether or not Aaron Rogers is going to keep playing football.
Well, that's what happened. You get old.
Keep playing in Green Bay.
Listen, when you get old, people want to know, Hey, are you still going to be willing to potentially
hurt yourself for a money that you largely don't need anymore.
Everybody loves to, everybody loves to play the game of, oh, if he was on a different team.
Yeah, I mean, that's like the, that's like their favorite game to play in the off season.
This is like the last three years with the same friend.
Last, last off season, you know, Green Bay started off bad and everybody's like, oh, Rodgers
is done.
They end up, he ends up winning the MVP. This year, everybody's like, oh, Rodgers is done. They end up he ends up winning the MVP MVP this year everybody's like hey, and Rodgers ain't got anymore
They end up being one game away from making the playoffs and an incredible second half of the season. So I
Don't know when Rodgers gonna hang it up, but it's gonna be on his terms
And you know, I mean this guy's you know, obviously one of the best ever do it and
He's a you know, I mean, yeah, I don't really know where I'm going with it.
Who knows if it's his last game, but he's still got it.
I know that definitely still got it.
All right.
College coaches in the NFL.
Kingsbury.
Kingsbury.
Yeah, let's talk about it.
Kingsbury fired in Arizona with Kingsbury and Matt rule out.
There is obviously no more college
coaches that are head coaches in the NFL. Why do we not see more college head coaches make
it in the NFL at least successfully? Um, I think because the money's better in college.
The money's better in college. Is that true? I mean, you look at all the top dogs in college
and they are making like more than 10s 10 a year I think yeah
I don't even know if there's an NFL coach making that much
well John Groot and famously was making over 10 million a year when he signed that uh
that like what was a 10 a year 100 million dollar contract or whatever it was before he got fired
but he was making 10 a year I think there's head coaches making 10 a year it's not
the norm which it does seem like these these big time college coaches are all making
something like that now.
Yeah.
Well, I don't necessarily know if, whenever this debate comes up a lot, can college coaches
make it in the NFL, can NFL, you know, it's just a different world, man.
It's a different world.
You have to have a, I feel like a different way
of challenging kids versus challenging grown men
to, you know, the discipline aspect is way different.
The structure of routine is way different.
Like, I didn't have a lot, say, in what my day look like
in the off season, like every single time I woke up in college, I had a routine waiting
for me and assess schedule waiting for me. It's not it's different in the NFL.
So you don't get that same every single day with the with the players that I
think you do in college or at least it's a it's more of a business relationship
where college, a lot of the great coaches out there are very family oriented.
Their family is ingrained in the city and in the school.
And in the families of the players,
I just think it's a different world, man.
And to compare it, I think, is unfair.
Yeah, I mean, that's certainly part of it.
And college, right away, you're given respect through the recruits that commit
to you, right? In the NFL you, you know, you have to go in there and earn the players, not just
respect, but not devotion, but willingness to play for you, you know, and willingness to give
everything they have for you. And that's a hard thing to navigate. But, you know, and really need to give everything they have for you. And that's a hard thing to navigate.
But, you know, I think, you know, listen, I've seen college coaches coach well.
There's a lot of coaches that have coached in college and the NFL, you know, is, you
know, is Pete Carroll, a college coach or an NFL coach.
He's had success in both the levels, you know, he coached in college and the NFL, then
back in college and in the NFL.
So I think it really comes down to, you know, the best coaches that can sustain being a great head coach
tend to be the best leaders, tend to be the best managers of people, motivators.
I think a lot of college coaches end up getting hired in the NFL because they have a hot scheme
or something that is allowing them success in a competitive advantage, right?
Yeah. Yeah. They've outsmarted everybody somehow. Chip Kelly. Chip Kelly, you know, Kingsbury,
like all of these guys are kind of on the cutting edge of doing something different.
And that's great. And but time will tell if that is sustainable and whether that what you can continually innovate that and push that forward.
Because the fact of the matter is that you're not going to have those same players ever again.
And your scheme has to be around the guys that you have in that building.
Yeah. Well, not just that, but you know, eventually it's going to get caught up with., you're not going to have that crutch of being the smartest person in the room.
Nobody has that.
I guess Bill Bellicic is a hell of a schemer, but so is Andy Reed.
But you still need to have that ability.
But man, I really think that the best said coaches tend to be the best managers.
They hire good people.
They evaluate talent really well. They hire good people. They evaluate talent
really well. They are tireless workers. They are driven human beings. You can find that
in the college ranks. I don't necessarily believe that you can't hire a good coach from
college. It will be a great NFL head coach. I certainly think that that could happen.
I just think most of the time the guys that are hired
end up being these highly successful innovative coaches
that once that crutch of innovation kind of fades away,
they're left with, okay, now how good are you
at all these other things that allow the best coaches
to sustain it, right?
The peak carols, the Andy Reads, the, you know, Bill Bella checks, the Bill Parcell,
like all of these guys that have sustained it for decades.
You know, those are the things that make those guys unique, not the fact that they invented
some unique defense or offense or anything like that.
I'm right there with you, brother.
All righty.
New heights, awards. Let's get to it. All righty. New Heights awards.
Let's get to it.
Let's get to it baby.
The season has finally ended and you know,
obviously we like to give out some awards here and there
from time to time.
All right now.
So we are officially launching our end of the season awards.
The newsies.
The newsies.
We're going to, neither one of us has a game to prepare for.
So we needed something to talk about at the end of the show because we can't look forward to our games next week.
So yeah, decided creating a ward and kind of recap the season.
So yeah, this year, the new Heights Awards, the newsies are going to be from our favorite moments of the year.
Travis, you want to start it off?
Start it off. Maybe, maybe, maybe let's start it off.
Our first, uh, Newsy is best display of basketball skills on a football field.
That's right.
We all know that playing football in basketball go hand in hand.
We've talked about it a lot.
Uh, so we want to recognize the guys that might want to trade in their
cleats for some sneakers.
That's right. We got three nominees in this category. One going to the Dolphin special teams for the box out
AKA the butt punt
back of the end zone
We all know that was some great box out there's good box out baby. The guy was getting to the boards
We also have
Mac Jones taking a charge got his feet planted outside the restricting zone. Rest didn't
call it though. Rest didn't call it. They let Chandler Jones walk right into the end zone
after that. And then you got my favorite baby air my homes. My dog going up top, going up top sacrificing the body like MJ would. He always
gets those MJ comparisons, baby. Now we just got to get that, you know, I mean, that
one picture of him lifted in the air. Yeah. I mean, the, the, the air my homes was very
Jordan-esque in its pose. Who we, who gets the, who gets the best display of basketball skills
on a football field newsy though.
I mean, let's be honest, none of them are very good because we've established this NFL
players aren't going to make good NBA players.
Uh, so we have not established this.
I think, um, I think the closest one to any type of football maneuver is clearly the Mac
Jones charge.
It was textbook charge technique. It was. one to any type of football maneuver is clearly the Mac Jones charge.
It was textbook charge technique.
Feet were planted.
Arms were extended.
I mean, I guess usually I guess this is the technique usually on the charge. But usually want to protect the tech the kids man.
But yeah, you know, Mac wanted different rock and grass Mac on winning the,
the new heights of newsy. But the first newsy, the first newsy of the year goes to Mac Jones, baby. All right.
We're taking it start. I'm sure he is not going to find this funny. He won't, but you know,
what can you do if you can't laugh? You know what I mean? I mean, yeah, we've all been a part of
things. Yeah, it's one thing if it loses the game though. Sure, it's a good point.
And they've missed the playoffs by one game.
So that is, yeah, this is all really good points.
All right, here we go.
Did we just become best friends award?
Ooh.
So for this newsy, during the season,
we met a lot of new people.
So we want to recognize some new guys
that we may actually want to hang
with outside of a football. There. Who is the most likely to be late to practice
after hanging out with you? I mean, we already know bats in my hip pocket with
that one. Yeah. I would say, damn, most likely to be late.
Who has, who's, I don't, I gotta go receiver
because I feel like receivers are always late.
Okay.
We talked a little bit about OBJ.
We talked a little bit about OBJ, but I'm gonna do that.
Oh, you know what you're going to do?
OBJ, but he's gonna walk out.
Yeah, after a fun time, you know what I'm saying.
That would, yeah,
that'd be a good time. I'm sure I can see it happening for sure. All right. What about
you, uh, most likely to get an invite to calving season. Well, um, yeah, a lot of choices.
Got a lot of new teammates, got a lot of new people. That has been one awesome thing from
the show is the amount of camaraderie that I felt from other NFL players and
support of new heights and
one of the guys who has
Been out on the Twitter verse and
Who I would love to take the capping season. I got to go J. J. What?
Nice. He's also coincidentally from Wisconsin. So I got to think he's been to a cabin. He's definitely.
Landed to the cheese?
Yeah, he's got some experience with cabin.
The original ice bath.
He's big on cutting a hole in the lake and just jumping in.
Yeah, that's the Wisconsin way.
That is also the Cleveland way.
All right now.
Moving on to our next newsy new heights heights stat line of the year. That's right
Look, we all know that only certain stat lines matter on this show
And it's typically not the real the good ones. So we wanted to recognize our favorite stat lines of the year
We got a few nominees. Obviously we got the most but
stat line of all time seven receptions 25 yards but four
tuddies by albundi himself albundi stat line yours yours truly then we got
the Eagles actually being 92% all to these sneaks like that's a actual we're a
tad short I think that's it was at 88 it was that 88 you guys run any these past couple weeks
We missed one against New Orleans, but I don't know I hear all sorts of numbers thrown out
There's a person a reporter came up to me said we are 91
Afterwards I don't accounts your guys are 91 now listen
We've been over this. It's like you know, it's just one of those things. It's like pie. It sits at 92%
You know to set number for it's just where quarterbacks
needs to live at in the universe. All right now. And then we got Durwin James season 64 tackles.
Five tackles for loss, four sacks, two interceptions, but the best that line
of fucking power bomb on the goal line. Oh, you're missing the other one. And I felt
every bit of that. What? You're missing the, you signed a baby. You're still a one of
us. You're a signed baby. I thought you said you signed one. I said I would. I'll sign
a baby. I'll tell you what though. He is patting the stats over there because only one in
the league that can record that many tackles that we need sacks that may be interceptions power bomb a two hundred sixty five pound man and sign a
baby all in one year.
Tell you what that's a season right there.
What else can we stack on top of that?
I don't know, man.
Who you going at?
Who gets the newsy?
Listen, these are all great nominations, but this is, I mean, you're Al
Bundy, Stet line has only happened one.
I challenge anybody to find you had four touchdowns and your yards per
reception were less than the amount of touchdowns you have.
You have less than four yards per reception and you have, your touchdowns are
more than yards per each person.
I mean, it's a crazy stat line.
I don't think anybody else has ever done that in the history of the game
Nobody will ever be that buns until you get to the goal line and
Great that great. That's a great stat line right there. I
Want to do the
Man already shut out the album demon onto our next news you award. We got the shit
We didn't see coming award.
What?
Every NFL season, there are things that happen that no one sees coming.
So this newsy is going to give a little shout out to the things we didn't see coming about
this year.
First nomination is a head coach Jeff Saturday.
Didn't see you coming.
Nope.
I don't think anybody saw that one coming.
A new second nomination.
We got Jaguars in the playoffs.
What the fuck didn't see that one coming after last season's
debacle with urban buyer. I don't think anybody saw that one coming.
Third nomination. We got the chiefs getting the number one seed.
We alluded to this. The fuck didn't see that. I saw it coming.
Well, of course you did. I foresaw it. Tyrick Yilden's here coming.
I think there are a lot of people that did not see the chiefs
getting the number one seed.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Will Compton, our friends over at Busset
with the boys.
Definitely didn't see it coming.
That's right.
In the fourth nomination, Seahawks making the playoffs
with Geno Smith.
I mean, all four of your commons did see it coming.
All four.
No, what?
What? What? Take us off of there. All right. I saw that shit coming.
I didn't see this. Nobody, a lot of other people didn't see it coming. Just because we saw
it coming. Doesn't mean other people didn't see it coming. A lot of analysts were not high
in the chiefs going into the year. Well, we all got to talk about something. That's sure. Um, hot take, hot take. Uh, I mean, there's only one right
answer to this. The shit we didn't see coming award, which one?
Jack wires. I mean, that's the we did not see that shit coming
at all. I got to agree. I think what Doug has done there in his
first year is pretty remarkable.
Especially with where that team was at and kind of the mockery it could kind of become last year
with all the shenanigans. You want to talk about a complete 180 man? Yeah. I mean these guys play hard,
they play for each other and not only in the playoffs one year after finishing three and 14.
Yeah, and they're playing a good football year after finishing three and 14. Yeah.
And they're playing a good football right now.
They could do some dangerous things in the AFC.
Yeah, started three and six.
They've won on a six game Winni Street, they're in the playoffs.
How about that, man?
Dougy P.
Dougy P.
Can't obviously we love Dougy P.
You can't throw it all on him, but that culture change changes definitely a lot to do with what's going on in there.
Yeah, I mean, if there's one coach that can heal a group of guys and get people to fight for each other, my man, Dougie P's got it done.
Way to go coach. And also the other reason we're juicing the I just want to make that Jag that Jaguars.
Coaches Jersey swap with his.
I want to make that code a little bit more valuable. So. uh, coaches Jersey Swap with his uh, uh, his coat.
I want to make that coat a little bit more valuable.
So, uh, the newsy goes to the Jaguars.
Hence, Doug, you think getting into my newsy is gonna fucking make it more valuable?
Yeah, it might.
It might.
It makes it more valuable to me.
That's all the matters.
All right.
All right.
All right.
Last award.
We got the not playing dress up award.
I think this is obviously an allude to who had the best pregame outfit, game day fit.
I might be. We got a few nominations as we got the first nomination. Brian Robinson's Big Hat.
The Big Hat? I mean, that took that, that ended up being the league ram with that one, the league ram with that one.
And now a lot of people have one. It's become a thing. Big hats have become a thing.
He is a fashionista for that one. He's a trend setter. Yeah.
Brian Robinson's friend who owns the big hat company has got a, I hope he's getting royalties
from that thing. That's a, that is turned it into something that was, something that was
nothing is now all of a sudden something all because of Brian Robinson.
Second nomination, we got Jason's 50 first dates Jason being you
Yeah, I have a little bit of upset that this is up there because that was clearly addressed as not a dress up
But you know we can include it
Travis we you're up here obviously for every single week you having a new game day outfit
It appears if there was a, if there was a dress up,
post the entire every day outfit, there was a dress up poster
child for the NFL, it would be Travis, it would be a picture of
Travis Kelser. And one of his any outfits he wears every week.
And then the last number, Jason every day, not just a game day,
everything. You are pretty styled up every day. All right.
All right. Last nomination we got is the Lane Johnson dress, which I think is another dress
ads, but we'll include in the dress up award when he dressed up as me for Halloween.
I mean, that wins. That was the best. That was the best one. Congrats. Lane.
I got to agree. I think that that was clearly the best outfit of the season.
It's still my Twitter profile pic. I loved it so much. Nothing barked me greater joy than watching
my good friend walk in and impeccable style mimicking me impeccable. The moxie he wore with it was
or he carried with it was phenomenal. Way to go. Well,
Lane congrats on the new heights. Newsy brother. This last award is not a newsy, but we're going
to talk about the last award on the season, the MVP award. The MVP.
We're not going to obviously decide who wins this award. It's not a Newsy, but we are going to discuss it because we've each been around
two of the biggest candidates for it.
We've been fortunate to be playing with two MVP's, man.
Yeah.
These guys have been playing their tails off.
Our good friends.
Guests of the show ironically.
Yeah, our first two guests.
And yeah, Jalen hurts to pat my homes, baby.
Maybe more people should come on the show.
Come on the show all of a sudden MVP potentiality realized.
Ha ha ha.
Gotta speak it in the existence, baby.
Well, I'll make I'll start by stating the case for Jalen Hertz.
Let's hear it.
By listening a lot of it in numbers and things that really don't speak to what makes
him a special player, he said a franchise record for most total offensive yards by a quarterback
in a single season of 4,461 had 2,000 yard receivers, said a new team record of 14 wins,
franchise record that is, a franchise record of offensive points with 477.
Leeds the NFL in quarterback win percentage,
3,700 and one yards passing with 747 yards rushing,
22 passing touchdowns and 13 rushing touchdowns.
And then outside of Jalen being the dominant player on the field,
he was also dominant in his new Heights highlights.
He was the first ever to be a guest on New Heights,
dropped his exclusive Draft Day story with the Steelers
and not really thinking he was going to even be in Philadelphia.
It was part of revealing an amazing subject and not really thinking he was gonna even be in Philadelphia.
It was part of revealing an amazing,
subject-to-the-enotator story.
And he was the only one that we've interviewed
that really took over and started to ask the question.
Yeah, it was his show there for a while.
Yeah, he was like, enough of you guys.
Who do you guys think's the goat all time of anything?
This is, these questions are cool and all,
but let's get down to some real talk.
Jordan Nearali.
Okay.
But I mean that's how obsessed this guy is with greatness and obsessed he is with winning.
I think he's a incredibly driven individual who can't help but think on terms like that and is
this interested with New Heights Hooligans asking the questions. All these
numbers are outstanding. Jailer hurts had an amazing year. It still doesn't
speak to why he's a special player. Why is the MVP in my book in our teams? He's
just a great person. He's a great leader. He's got a great demeanor. The bottom line is guys play better around him.
And he's had that his entire career.
And I think that's one of the things that makes him such a unique and
dominant player besides being a physical specimen.
So obviously leading us to the number one seed in the NFC.
A lot of people go into that.
We had a great team this year, a great
offense, great defense, great coaches, but the man at the helm of all of that was none other
than Jaylen Hertz. He is the system. Well played. Well played. Your turn. Yeah, I mean, it's
Pat my homes. What do you want me to say? It's Patrick my homes. He leads you can't just keep saying it's it is it is just
Keep saying film on turn it on and tell me that guy doesn't deserve everything. All right.
All right. The guy leads the NFL and all these categories passing yards has 500 more than any other quarterback passing touchdown. See a six more than second place.
It owns it in first downs, passes at 25 plus yards. The first QB to throw for 5,000 yards
and rush for 350, that's a LeBron stat.
It's a crazy stat to even think about
just kind of making up random stats.
300. I mean, he's a stat machine.
Anyway, we could, you could throw all these stats around.
This entire episode could be where are we at right now?
What's the time we're on right now?
We're at an hour and a half in, uh, this entire episode could just be a stats compile by
Patrick Mom's.
There's no question.
Stat my homes.
Stat machine. Stat my homes, baby. He's not the
stap my home. Is that a real nickname or is that?
Did you just come up with that? It says popped in my head, baby,
Stap my home. I like that. Stap my home. It's got a
it's got a ring to it, done it. And all those numbers,
everything is it's lovely to look at because you know, it
just shows you the the season in review but the most important pets stats stat my home stat line or
as highlights on new heights he gave us a classic rendition of new news in the
Pat my home's voice dropped his exclusive draft A story with Nagi and Reed,
that was epic.
Epic.
Epic loved every second of here, and that one, especially
knowing the two guys, revealed some origins of the bromance
between me and him.
They were all started.
And used our shows as a part of his pickleball investment
announcement.
Told everybody what he was doing in the pickleball world.
And sure enough, I'll probably be, you know,
trying to get on their team here shortly, you know, this guy's getting us together.
That has got to be one of the first things we're offseason activities.
We're getting some pickleball in.
Got to.
Cannot wait to dominate all of he is.
But that doesn't even tell you why he's the MVP.
Like I said, you turn on that film.
The guys throwing the ball, no looks here,
no looks there. Breaking tackles, running around like a mad man behind the line of scrimmage,
throwing it across the field. You watch the Kansas City Chiefs play. And this team goes
as that guy goes. It is what it is. And he's the ultimate leader. He's the ultimate,
you know, competitor in the building nonstop. If it's not football, he's the ultimate leader. He's the ultimate, you know, competitor in the building
nonstop. If it's not football, he's competing in every single game or every single moment
that he's in the building, whether it's saying who's going to win this college game or
a shoot and hoops in the locker room, whatever it is, this guy is competing and wants to
frickin' win. And that drives the competitive circle and the competitiveness in the building. I see it every single day. And going into this season, there's a lot of people that didn't
see this shit coming. Like we said, and we did, though, we did because we know the kind
of competitive he is, we know the kind of person he is, how he's going to come into the building
every single day with the team and mind and how he is a vital part of that and he's the most valuable person
in that locker room. And because of that, he's the MVP.
Well, it's a good case. So as Jalen hurts, either one of these guys wouldn't it would
be awesome. And if there's one person that might not like the stat my homes nickname
It might be pet my homes I feel like that's a guy that does not care about stats that much. He only cares about one stat
I'll see what's that
wins not right now
Right now get them doves baby. Yeah, I think uh now's a good time for us to
I guess do our own vote on the MVP award.
Do I do it?
Count of three?
Count of three?
One, two, three, Jalen!
Holmes.
What?
Who didn't see that coming?
All right, well, I don't think we're going to be the people that determine who get this.
So we'll let the experts in the,
I don't even know who decides on this, but.
Somebody who's qualified.
Somebody who'll pick it.
Alrighty, we have one last newsie to hand out,
but this one is not gonna happen for a couple of weeks.
That is the new heights stamp of the season.
It's a big one. It's a big one.
It's a big one.
It's so big, we're not gonna give it up
until the season's over.
That's right.
Cause it ain't over.
We got a whole post season coming on.
That's, I think it's part of the whole thing.
So we're gonna wait till everything's done.
It's all finished and we're gonna include all of you guys.
We would love to hear who you all think
deserves the stamp of the season, Newsy.
And yeah, we're gonna open up to all of you.
We're also gonna open up what you think
a Newsy should even look like,
because we actually wanna give these a hug.
We have to.
We need something tangible and physical
to give to people.
And obviously Travis, you received a Newsy,
so you receive one.
Yeah. I can't wait. So fans, please. You guys gotta make it special. You ready me. to give to people. And obviously Travis, you received a Newsy, so you received one.
Can't wait. So you guys got to make it special.
You're gonna.
Please design something that Travis will, uh,
hate to have to display inside of his home.
Hate.
Yeah.
Well, I want to be able to go in there and laugh at it.
What do you mean?
I want to go in there and laugh at your Newsy.
Yeah, but that's, that doesn't mean I'm going to hate it.
That's selfish.
That's selfish. Because I want Doug to have a loss of a awesome. That's good point. I want to have a great
We got some guys. I want a Mac to enjoy this. That's right
He's not gonna enjoy. He's not gonna like it either way. All right, whatever
Alrighty, well, we look forward to all of your thoughts on who deserves the stamp of the season Newsy and what a Newsy looks like
Let's hear that that's it that. That wraps it up, Trev. That is this episode. The
bi-week episode is officially in. Feels good. Feels good to have to buy. Even though
we kind of, you know, my legs are already feeling better. Legs are feeling better,
but we kind of locked it up. It was almost like you're kissing your sister.
You know, it was kind of like, you know, it wasn't the cleanest lockup of a first round Bible.
That phrase is always focused.
The phrase has always been focused for kissing your brother.
It's like kissing your brother.
