00:00There's been a lot of talk this week and I guess questions to Vrabel specifically about

00:05the different game plan that you would have based on who the quarterback is going to be

00:09on Sunday.

00:10Do you think they have to prepare differently for one versus the other?

00:14It's not hugely different.

00:17Burrow is a better athlete at this point.

00:19I mean, Burrow is a big athletic guy and can make plays with his feet that Flacco is not

00:25capable of making anymore.

00:28I've said this a bunch.

00:29Burrow, to me, is the descendant of Brady.

00:31He's like the elite quarterbacks.

00:34He's the closest one to Brady.

00:35I don't think there's much of an argument there.

00:39His demeanor, his play style, how he performs in the biggest moments.

00:44People forget this.

00:46He's played, because of all the injuries, he's played three full seasons.

00:49Two of them have, and two of them he's gotten to the AFC Championship game.

00:53He won one of those AFC Championship games and was like, I mean, a beat away from winning

00:57the Super Bowl that year.

00:59And then the, if you remember, it was like a defensive penalty that beat him in Kansas.

01:03See, he was on the verge of beating the Chiefs in back-to-back years in Arrowhead in the AFC

01:08Championship games.

01:09So, this is still a guy who, I mean, like, there aren't very many players in the NFL I would take over him.

01:18And that's even with the injuries.

01:20Like, he's, when he's at his best, he's really, really good.

01:22And so, you think if they had Chase, you'd like Cincinnati in the game?

01:28Yeah, I think there'd be, I think there's a chance.

01:30Like, I, I, it'd be a toss-up.

01:34If you had a, if I knew Burrow was going to be playing, if it was going to be full-on Burrow

01:38and Chase was in the game, then I, I would, because it's in Cincinnati, I would think about

01:44taking the Bengals, yeah.

01:45And now, but no, not now without Chase.

01:48Probably not, yeah.

01:48Like, I, I think I'd pick New England, and I don't even remember who I do them, it takes

01:53me five minutes to do my picks every week.

01:54So, I, but I think I'd pick New England this week.

01:56Oh, I'm glad you're putting a lot of thought into it.

01:58I mean, I, I don't know, I'm not a handicapper, so, like, I don't really.

02:02That's not the correct term.

02:03It's one of those things, no, it's not.

02:05That's very offensive.
