00:00How do you feel specifically about this Super Bowl rematch between the Patriots and Seahawks?
00:05You know, I do think there are plenty of challenges that the Patriots are going to face here,
00:10but I'm expecting it to be a close game.
00:11I just feel like they have earned the higher expectations that we all have for them now.
00:17And so Seattle's one of the best teams in football.
00:21I saw our guy, Mike Florio, pro football talk, just, you know, preseason power rankings.
00:26The Seahawks are number one for him.
00:28So they're a good team.
00:30I think the Patriots are a good team too.
00:32And so to look at a game like this and say they have no chance to me is sort of
00:37discounting the fact that they've gotten better.
00:42Their roster is more talented.
00:44The quarterback should be better.
00:46Second year, same offense.
00:48The program is more established.
00:50This is a game where you should be competitive.
00:52Now, I'm not going to pick them to win this game, but it's a game where you should be competitive.
00:56And the Seahawks are not necessarily across the board the Seahawks we saw in the Super Bowl last year.
01:02Right?
01:02Head coach is the same, and I think he's phenomenal.
01:04And their front seven is largely the same, and I think they're phenomenal.
01:09Secondary's had some changes.
01:10Offensive coordinator is new.
01:12I have a lot of questions about him.
01:13He's not really like a passing game guy.
01:15I think the closest he got to the passing game in San Francisco was as a tight ends coach, which
01:19has worked in the past.
01:20Sean McVay was a tight ends coach, so I'm not saying it can't work.
01:23But usually, that's a tougher transition, as opposed to somebody who was, for instance, a quarterback's coach.
01:28Right?
01:28And coached that position and understands the passing game in that way.
01:31When you have more of an offensive line-y background, you're a run game guy, usually.
01:37And so, the run game probably will be great.
01:41All the T's crossed and all the I's dotted.
01:43Let's see on the passing game.
01:45And so, it wouldn't stun me if they won this game.
01:49I'm not going to pick it.
01:50But it should be, in my opinion, it should be a very close game, because I think the Patriots are
01:54going to be very good this year.
01:55I'm not going to pick it up.
