with every sentence, but there's a lot here to grasp.
I do think it's going to be a defensive game, and I think we're not going to see long, extended drives.
It feels to me like the defense for both teams have some answers, and that could make it kind of a disjointed feel in terms of rhythm, but I do think defense, at the end of the day, will have a pretty good
size fingerprint on the outcome.
But it also seems to me that we could have, you know, maybe a special teams play.
We've never had a punt return touchdown in the Super Bowl.
We've had 59 of them with a lot of plays and never a punt return touchdown.
And we've got two pretty good returners in this game.
One that joined one team halfway through the year in a mid-season trade.
And the other one has been in
New England for a while and has done damage both as a starting defensive back and as a return guy so there could be a lot of different twists and turns here that we're not really expecting that could definitely take hold of a game with with maybe not a lot of great name recognition and two unexpected teams the odds for each I think we're 60 to 1 coming into the season and here they are in the biggest game so there's a lot here to kind of wrap your arms around and
and embrace because I think there's going to be captivating stories, but we could have one of those players jump into the limelight, into the spotlight that we're not expecting that can make a real difference in the game.
Could be the coaches, and Vrabel's a good one, Leila.
You bring up him.
He's played in it.
He's won in it.
He's played for what will be as soon a Hall of Fame coach in Belichick, and he has had a previous stop as a head coach and was successful in
And then with the change in the feel of ownership in Tennessee, there were some mannerisms that he had supposedly that were not as appealing, and they wanted to go a different direction.
Bad mistake.
Tennessee is screwed up because this guy is everything you want in a head coach.
