00:00Coach, I'll ask you right out of the gate.
00:02Who do you like in Super Bowl XVI?
00:05Best team in Seattle.
00:07Not even close.
00:08They're a better football team.
00:10Now, do they win the game?
00:11I don't know that, but they're a better football team.
00:13There's no doubt about it.
00:15If you watch both teams play during the season, I do believe this.
00:21I think conferences matter.
00:24NFC West is probably the best conference in football.
00:27Three teams come out of that division, San Francisco.
00:29They were wounded and still found a way to make the playoffs.
00:32The Rams, obviously, were very good.
00:34And Seattle.
00:35So I give them an edge.
00:38But, you know, the Patriots are a team that the one thing they know how to do is win.
00:42They just keep winning.
00:44And people, you know, kind of knocked them on their schedule,
00:47said they got a soft schedule.
00:48Well, yeah, they got a soft schedule, right?
00:51They're in the Super Bowl.
00:52They won in the playoffs, too.
00:53Now, I think they got a little bit of a pass when they played Denver and Stidham.
01:00And there's no doubt.
01:02I don't know if they'd get through Denver if they had their starting quarterback.
01:07You know, Drake May did a marvelous job of running, but he didn't throw.
01:10He didn't throw at all.
01:11He ran 10 times for almost 70 yards.
01:13Denver never stopped him from running.
01:15I think if you're Seattle, you're going to force him to throw.
01:18You're not going to – he's not going to go back on third down and run
01:20because Seattle's not going to allow that.
01:22They're just not going to allow it to happen.
01:23He's going to have to see if he can throw against a very, very good secondary
01:27and a good front.
01:30Coach, do you agree that one of the things that maybe helped Drake May going into this game
01:35because you just mentioned – look at the last two teams.
01:38You know, I know that he's had 55 or 56.8 percentage when it came to his completion percentage.
01:44But, Coach, look at the last two defenses that he played against.
01:47You mentioned the Denver Broncos.
01:48And then you go back to that Houston-Texas defense, which was on an iconic run this past season.
01:54You know, so maybe he also – as you said, you know, you play in the AFC East, Coach.
01:59You get a break.
01:59Then you get the Stenum break when they lose Bo Nix in that AFC championship game.
02:04But would you also agree that, hey, Drake May is going to see a great defense.
02:08Don't you think that also preps May for this battle on Sunday here that he has seen
02:13arguably two defenses that are going to be pretty compatible with that Seahawks defense?
02:18Yeah, and I think we lose sight of this.
02:23The New England Patriots have a really good defense.
02:25That allows Drake May to go through a series of three and outs
02:29and doesn't have to worry about the score.
02:31You know, as long as the score stays close, they can continue to play.
02:35And that has been the case.
02:37The score never gets away from this defense,
02:38and I don't think New England gets enough credit for their defense.
02:40They've only given up 19 points a game.
02:43But Seattle's a whole different – they're a whole different animal.
02:46They can rush you with four guys.
02:49You know, Drake May's been sacked 15 times.
02:52This is why against Denver, he didn't want to throw.
02:55He didn't want to throw into the defense.
02:56He just took off and ran, which was smart by him,
02:59and he continued to make third downs.
03:01I mean, he converted all those third downs by running.
03:03He had more rushing yards than a running back.
03:06He had 70 yards rushing.
03:07He carried the ball 10 times for 70 yards.
03:10He ran more than he threw.
03:11He only had 65 yards passing.
03:13So you got to give the New England Patriots defense a lot of credit
03:17for them keeping the score down.
03:18So you got to give the New England Patriots defense a lot of credit.
03:22So you got to give the New England Patriots defense a lot of credit.
