00:00Ty, Boomer was on with us yesterday and called what the Commanders have done

00:05nothing short of a miracle season-to-season turnaround.

00:10You agree?

00:11Yes, no one expected that.

00:14You know, new ownership, rookie quarterback.

00:17No, no one expected that.

00:19Hats off to Jaden Daniels for being that type of quarterback,

00:24that type of rookie.

00:26I mean, that is a hard position to play, as you know,

00:28where you're going to come in and take your team to those heights.

00:32You know, he's one game off of going to the Super Bowl.

00:35I don't know if it's ever been done.

00:36Has a rookie ever went to the quarterback?

00:38Was it Dan Marino?

00:40Did he go his rookie year?

00:41No, he went his second year.

00:43Yeah, that's a great –

00:44No rookie quarterback has ever been to the Super Bowl

00:46or at least started the Super Bowl.

00:47Wow.

00:49See, that's a feat in itself.

00:52But the way that Philly is playing right now,

00:54the way that Saquon is running that ball,

00:57you got to put him in the MVP conversation.

00:59I don't give a damn what nobody say.

01:01I mean, I know it's a quarterback award,

01:02but Saquon, he deserves to be up in that conversation.

01:06And it's going to be hard to beat those guys

01:08because you never know what the weather is going to be like

01:10if you leave the ball in the quarterback's hands.

01:14I don't know if he's showing he's ready,

01:17but this is the go to the Super Bowl.

01:19You got Saquon Volley that can control the pace of the game.

01:22And I still like Philly right now,

01:25but I would love to see Jaden Daniels as a rookie,

01:28you know, going to the Super Bowl.

01:31Ty, when you look at the Patriots

01:34and you look at the addition of Mike Vrabel

01:36and we're still talking about Elliott Wolfe,

01:39and I don't know, like, how you feel,

01:42but I feel like Vrabel didn't take this job

01:45unless he's final say-so

01:47or when it comes to making personnel decisions.

01:53Is Elliott Wolfe still there?

01:55Yeah, Elliott Wolfe's still there.

01:57Oh, okay.

01:59Well, I mean, is he still looking

02:01or is it set in stone that he's going to be there?

02:04Well, they're saying that he's still going to be here

02:06and they're trying to paint the picture

02:08that it's going to be kind of, what do they say?

02:11Well, he's modernizing the entire draft system.

02:14Yeah.

02:15I mean, they were running on candles and wax over there.

02:19Yeah, I guess he has a new way of putting the data in the system,

02:22but they make it seem like Elliott Wolfe

02:24is going to have some type of say,

02:26but knowing Vrabel, I feel like he don't take this job

02:30unless he has final say.

02:33You're damn right.

02:35I know Vrabel too well

02:37and there's no way he's going to take this job

02:40unless he has that control or has his own guys in there.

02:43You know what I mean?

02:44So he might be the new Ernie Adams or something.

02:48You know what I mean?

02:49Maybe he might be that,

02:50but Vrabel is going to have a final say,

02:52so he went and took the job.

02:54Vrabel is no fool.

02:55He held all the cards.

02:57Ty, a lot of people looking at the commanders now and saying,

03:00maybe the Patriots can follow in their footsteps.

03:02What would be the next thing that the Pats have to do

03:04to make sure that they follow that same trajectory?

03:10You got to be smart with this draft.

03:13I mean, it's going to be some great players where you're picking,

03:16but do you use this pick to get equity?

03:21I mean, you got so many places

03:24that you have to fill on that roster.

03:27It's going to be what are you going to do

03:29with this situation in the draft?

03:31Are you going to trade down, gather a bunch of picks?

03:34I think that that's what they should do.

03:36You never know if a rookie is going to come in

03:38and be like a Jay Dan.

03:40That's why everybody get picked that high.

03:42But when you have so many pieces that you need to fill,

03:45I would get the picks.

03:47I really would get the picks.

03:49You might be able to get Travis Hunter.

03:52He might be available for you.

03:54But, okay, now the question is what are you going to do?

03:56Are you going to play him as a receiver

03:57or are you going to play him as a thick feet?

03:59Is he going to make that type of impact as one individual

04:01and get you back in contention?

04:04I don't know.

04:05I don't see that.

04:07As great as I think that he is,

04:09I would love to see Travis Hunter in New England,

04:12but they just need too many pieces.

04:14So, no, I say load up and get some free agents.

04:18And you got to spend some damn money.

04:20Let's keep it $100.

04:21Let's keep it a buck.

04:22You got to spend some money.

04:23Can't be cheap.

04:25Because I said before,

04:26New England is not the destination that it used to be,

04:29especially if they don't have them come up right now.

04:33Let them come up there in New England now.

04:34You ain't getting nobody.

04:35As soon as you step outside, your lips get chapped.

04:37Hell no.

04:38Nobody want to do that.

04:40All right.

04:41So, to be clear,

04:43you're picking Eagles and you're picking Chiefs.

04:48Right now, I'm going Eagles and Chiefs.

04:51And, look, I'm not rooting either one of them.

04:56I want to see some great football.

04:57Nobody wants to see a blowout.

04:59But right now, as far as the momentum,

05:02it's going to be hard to beat Philadelphia

05:06when Saquon running the ball like that.

05:08How many yards have he had on the first time?

05:10Didn't he have damn near 200 yards rushing?

05:12He had 205.

05:14205 against the Rams.

05:16He finished with 205 yards against the Rams.

05:18Yeah, but I'm talking about the last time he played Washington.

05:21How many yards did he have?

05:22150 or something like that.

05:24Yeah, they split the two games that they played before.

05:27Washington won one and Philly won one.

05:30Right.

05:31But his yards on the ground.

05:33I think the weather can play a factor in that.

05:35Now, if all of a sudden it becomes a beautiful day

05:38and it's just cold, they might have a chance.

05:41But if it's some of that snow, and you know this time of year,

05:44whether you're playing, you know, Philly, Washington,

05:47man, Saquon is going to be the X factor.

05:50And I don't think they're going to be able to slow him down

05:52when it comes to that.

05:53But, again, I would love to see Jadon Daniels be the first rookie

05:58to go to the Super Bowl, and anything can happen.

06:01As you know how we got our first one, anything can happen

06:04because we wasn't even supposed to show up, let everybody else tell it.

06:07You know what I mean?

06:08Kansas City, you got to go out there and definitively beat them.

06:12If it's anything close, you know you're fighting against the refs too.

06:16Like I said, not taking anything away from Kansas City,

06:19but you know things seem to be going their way all the time.

06:23Is it a coincidence?

06:24I don't know.

06:25Because, like I said, they said the same thing about us.

06:27So you're going to have to go down there

06:29and just beat the hell out of Kansas City for you to win.

06:32All right, Kylah, we will talk to you next week

06:35when we know who is headed to New Orleans for the Super Bowl.

06:38We know the Buckeyes hoisting the trophy.

06:41Yeah, ain't that something too?

06:43Ain't that something?

06:44God damn, you wouldn't go through all that trash talking

06:47and we beat them and they get to go win a national championship.

06:51You know, I know people up in Michigan still like,

06:53well, at least we beat them.

06:54That ain't me.

06:55They went out there and won and hats off to them.

06:57But, damn it, that pisses me off.

07:01All right, Ty, we'll talk to you.

07:03All right, guys.

07:04Talk to you later.
