00:00uh where where are let's go let's get right there let's go we'll talk about the k-cups later where
00:04are you where
00:05are you on the shoulder and you know what they make this little syringe right and you put some
00:10stuff in there it's called novocaine just like when you go to the dentist you shoot that thing up and
00:14you
00:15play baby let's go let's roll worst injury that you played with after being shot up
00:20i mean worst injury i've played with so here's the difference you know about
00:25dislocated shoulders right you want to talk about shoulders they used to call me dr ninko
00:28okay
00:30dr ninkovich sounds like no no doctor no dr chow but go ahead dr ninkovich
00:35used to go into the athletic training room and i used to listen in on all this stuff and
00:39do you know
00:40the difference between a rotator cuff and a labrum do you know that not really so your road
00:45your rotator cuff is the muscles that move your shoulder and your rotator cuff is the 360 degree
00:49band
00:50of tissue that keeps your shoulder in the socket okay so a lot of times when somebody dislocates
00:55their shoulder you can have a non-rotator cuff injury but then tear your leg
01:00labrum which is the stability of your shoulder your shoulder has cartilage all the way around keep
01:05it in the socket so i've torn my i had a slap tear of my left shoulder
01:10from lifting weights of all things i was in the weight room i picked up 130 pounds to do the bench
01:15press yeah dumbbells and i heard a little and i was like oh man that stinks
01:20yeah so i had all the movement and i could do all the stuff but and when i started to rotate
01:25my shoulder like when if i tried to take my fist and rotate it in like i'm trying to throw somebody
01:29it would hurt
01:30okay so there's different parts of your shoulder that that baby up you don't feel it
01:35no but it continues to tear okay and then you're you start to become more unstable
01:40and then that's when you can have a rotator cuff injury so but can a quarterback numb up a shoulder
01:44on his throwing
01:45arm yeah that's fine yeah well i mean if it's one game but you're gonna damage your shoulder
01:50shoulder so here's the thing when you play with a labrum eventually that continues
01:55to tear and then that is the structure of your shoulder when you tear your rotator
02:00cuff you can't throw okay so if you had a rotator cuff injury it's the actual muscle
02:05muscle that when you use to use your shoulder you can't use it it just doesn't work
02:10well guys that have a rotator cuff injury can't actually use their shoulder if you have a labrum tear
02:15it's just the the structure of your shoulder that keeps the
02:20he was he was on this radio station yesterday and was asked about the
02:25shoulder uh wouldn't say whether it happened in the game on sunday
02:30or not here's what drake may said all right i'm feeling good i'm feeling good um we got it
02:35for rest and really the only thing is from the game i think just the built up of throwing for this
02:40what almost including training camp 30 weeks straight of of throwing and and four days
02:45a week it can uh add up but i'm not that we got some extra rest and i'm feeling good and um you're ready to go
02:50do you expect to be limited in any way either on the practice field or on the game field over the next two weeks
02:55i don't think it's too early to say i think i'm uh right now as i feel i'm feeling good and i'm looking forward to getting out there
03:00um you know prepping for for the seahawks and prepping to get ready to go so some like shyme are concerned
03:05and he said too early to say about whether he will be limited do you buy
03:10his uh his explanation which is that it's just uh regular
03:15wear and tear during the season not an injury from sunday i guess the majority
03:20majority of people that are playing right now feel terrible so when you get to the super
03:25super bowl you've gone through a long season you go through the playoffs especially
03:30a young person that's a young player their bodies i mean think of will campbell
03:35right now he's probably doubled the volume that he's had in any season he's ever played in
03:40right 20 something games so that eventually catches up to you and you know
03:45listen i think he'll be completely fine everyone's kind of blowing this out of proportion yeah if he took a hit
03:50and he fell on his shoulder and it's a little sore and bruised he's got two weeks so if he comes
03:55out on the injury report that he's dealing with a small shoulder thing for this week i'm not concerned
04:00concerned about it and when i say shoot it up i don't mean like novocaine the shoulder to where you can't
04:05feel it like when you're getting a tooth uh it's tortell so that's all i can think about is it
04:10tortell is like a general full body anti-inflammatory
04:15tortell so i would take one right in the shoulder because i felt like it would get to my heart quicker
04:20most guys do it in the rear yeah i do it right in my shoulder because i used to feel like yeah put it in my shoulder
04:25one time i took it you know pause i had the shot
04:30game they shot me in the rear and they hit like the muscle and i was like ah
04:35and it hurt and then for the game my butt was sore yeah dude i don't like this right now
04:40i don't like this at all i like shots in the butt better really that's where i got mine
04:43you should pause
04:45hit pause well maybe not i don't know but anyway shoulders always shoulder you go
04:50right in the shoulder and it feels like i could smell it in a couple seconds it went right to the nose
04:55so i always liked the shot but i think right now they i think they banned the shot oh they don't get
05:00yeah you have to take the pill now the pill is what which is not the same well you know what i think it could
05:05and i'm no doctor i'm no dr nanko but i wonder if it's like because it looked like he landed
05:10on and got up it could be an ac joint could be an ac joint and i've dealt with that before but you shoot that
05:15up and you're you're good to go it feels a little grindy and stuff but if he has an ac joint
05:20he'll be good to go man it's it's the last game of the year right you put everything all
05:25the line you got a full off season i don't you know i pray i hope i don't think he's got
05:30anything structurally wrong right yeah i think he'll be fine it's probably just a little shoulder bruiser
05:35he's dealing with playing through a full season but i'm not hitting the panic mode like everybody else
05:40you know were you surprised that the patriots were able to overcome the time change
05:54you
05:45and and win that football yeah with that four hour time change
05:50it was i mean it was one of those games you're on the edge of your seat the whole time 10-7 can you believe it
05:55uh i mean it was just it was one of them sloppy gross
06:00can't do anything offensively mistakes by denver
06:05i like that kind of game you like that kind of game i like i like execution at a high level their defense
06:10was playing well but i like the defense playing well and winning a football game with your defense
06:15defense and there are you know i think people have just been
06:20hypnotized into their obsessive love for offense and that so that's
06:25when they turn and look and go wow that was a horrible afc championship game well the second half was horrible like
06:30second half was tough the weather like that as you know even though i i did have a lot of success
06:35in the snow game but that's never a game that you want to play from an offensive player's perspective
06:40where the wind is like literally blowing in your face you can't throw the football from an offensive player that
06:45those are not the ideal conditions you want but then you put on the next nfc
06:50championship game and it's like those are that that's that's what i want to play that's what you want to
06:55playing yeah that's what i want to play in the the way the weather there is you know the way we're just the
07:00points and the way the offense looked i mean no nobody could stop anybody on defense but but if
07:05it's a defensive grinding game because the both defenses are good and the weather's fine i got no issues
07:10with that like you know i just when the weather starts to throw some things it's it could be difficult you are right
07:15i was wrong you're smart i'm not stidham
07:20was not very good no all right where's he going with this i'm like
07:25what's that that was happy gilmore yeah it was happy gilmore that's okay i mean
07:30second in the first half where he was like oh that one throw that was probably like dang it
07:35yeah that was a good throw yeah no the one throw i mean when you let the guy run down the middle of the field on
07:40post and no one covers yeah yeah you should be able you're in the nfl you should be able to at least make that throw
07:45but um what um what are your concerns what are my heading into this game
07:50definitely the time that's a big time that's a big time change
07:55will campbell i i mean i think are you concerned when it comes to the line and and
08:00testing him and especially i mean seattle defense a really good defense and i'm assuming
08:05assuming that they're just going to load up on that side of the football with those two guys seattle is a good
08:10football team they're a good defense sam darnel is not seeing ghosts anymore so
08:15you know we have that viral clip of him playing the patriots when he was with the jets it's not the same guy
08:20you know he's matured he's he's gone through what five or six i think five teams
08:25and now he's landed in a spot where he's super comfortable and he's playing well so
08:30this is going to come down to how many points can you score out i don't think this is going to be a
08:33low scoring game at all we're going to have
08:35to score points so you have to score touchdowns can't kick field goals we've got to win in the red zone
08:40um but will campbell i mean listen they show the clip of him trying to do a cut block and he
08:45misses the cut there's plays like that across like all the time where you cut
08:50it you go to cut a guy and you and you don't cut him and he stays on his feet and he gets
08:55to the quarterback but they're going to help they're going to do chips they're going to do
08:58all these different things because they don't care
09:00if you're will campbell or the best offensive line in the league like you have to deal with
09:05the pressure of what are they going to come to this where are they coming to this game with a game plan of
09:10are they going to blitz more are they going to use their front four are they going to play coverage
09:13they're going to have to make a choice
09:15and your receivers are going to have to get open so it's going to be a big game for the receivers too
09:20like can these guys separate they got some guys in the secondary too
09:25not just the front so it's going to be a big game not just for the front but the
09:30whole offense is going to have to play well well my concern i do have concern with the offensive line
09:34especially will camp
09:35i mean if you look at it seems like every game that they played in the in the postseason
09:40what drake may has been sacked like five times like on average in every game i mean he's sacked three
09:45on at least three on sunday yeah well i think it was i think it was five was five to be in five yeah
09:50so every game that they play they give up five sacks it's almost like you're too much yeah it's way
09:55way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too much way too
10:00line in general because it's every game that they've played through this postseason they've
10:04given up
10:05at least five sacks but vrabel was saying yesterday to greg when greg asked he he gives a lot of credit to the
10:10better defenses that they faced during the playoffs than they did during the regular season i don't
10:14know where you rank
10:15the seahawks when it comes to chargers texans broncos they're right there they're right there
10:20harder because i mean people are saying the nfc game was the super bowl
10:23well
10:24like
10:25well
10:25they might be the best defense they might be the best they're they're very good and they have
10:29a lot of talent
10:30talent um they don't have as many sacks as denver though they they i think they had
10:35like maybe 45 on the year or something like that shine 41 41 so denver had
10:4070 plus so you know you're still getting a good front but if
10:45you look that's to my point is if you look at every game that you play you and and
10:50and uh mink will tell you this that's like on the rear side of the
10:55things that you're giving up five sacks a game like that's that's too much yeah
11:00so i mean honestly i thought it would be their achilles heel and they've been fortunate
11:05been fortunate so is it i don't like to use the l word but are they lucky
11:10in certain aspects to where the ball bounces in the texans game if the ball bounces
11:15a foot to the left it's a scoop and score for six and they probably don't win that game
11:18so the ball
11:20bounces funny sometimes it bounces in your favor i'll say this if they have
11:25five sacks in this super bowl they're not winning the game that's it's
11:30playing i mean it's pretty simple like you have to protect drake may because
11:33you're not going to be able to just
11:35hand the ball off and expect to win this game their offense is going to score points so how
11:39do you do that you have
11:40have to throw the ball they're going to have to push the ball down the field they're going to have
11:43to score points in the red zone
11:45not just kick field goals like you have to score touchdowns how do you do that i don't think they're
11:49just going to be able to
11:50hand the ball off against his defense and score north of 21 points
11:55well the thing i look at and this is why i i think the biggest thing for me
12:00in this game is i don't think you're going to see what sam donald did last week you know he
12:05that's not what he does he's not a guy who goes over 300 yards three touchdowns he'll give you some opportunity
12:10but it's going to come down in this game you got two very good defenses going at each other
12:14which
12:15quarterback is going to make the throws and plays better and gets that early confidence
12:20you know as an offensive player and nico will tell you as a defensive player if you can stop
12:25timing the offense early and kind of take some especially in a super bowl and take that confidence away
12:30from them they start to push they start to get you know they start to try things that maybe they
12:35are not used to doing so that's why i think it's got to be drake may early in this game
12:40he's got to make throws he's got to be accurate and take advantage of those opportunities
12:45if you look at denver i was shocked that there were certain instances where he was scrambling
12:50for first downs but you have to understand it's it's snowy it's now
12:55nasty you can't really throw the ball they're into the wind what else is he what else is he gonna do
13:00and they run past the quarterback like a stupid team would like that's a dumb football team if i
13:05was the left end or the right end i would be telling my interior guys listen don't freaking run
13:10past this guy he's not gonna be able to throw for 15 yards right now keep it let's stay
13:15in front of him and let's press the pocket and let's make him bounce out and try to throw from the run on
13:20like outside of the pocket but don't just let him run up into the pocket 30 yards that's why you want to
13:25yes exactly on that their first possession coming out of uh the uh the halftime
13:30and we talked with rabel about this that third down play where drake may goes for 28 yards
13:35completely flip the field and it puts you in the position because i think he made the throw too
13:40uh matt collins on the flea flicker a couple places later but then they were kicking a field
13:45goal rob i'm curious about your old teammate in the coach last year have you heard from
13:50mayo at all during this playoff run like where is he is he watching the games like i i haven't heard him
13:55at all anywhere he's being a dad just being a dad he's enjoying life and being a
14:00dad which i mean that's what we all should do right let's be oh absolutely hi
14:05he's got all the money in the world he's got good coin he's got yeah he's he's doing fine
14:10i just i i think the the general uh consensus
14:15consensus is like he's miserable somewhere like no he he's enjoying
14:20his life he's taking his kids to school things that he couldn't do for the last seven years as he's as a
14:25as a football coach so um i'm sure he's enjoying himself right now yeah
