Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. Hi, Boomer and Geo coming to you live at the Build Forward Tough studio on the fan and CBS Sports Network. Want to talk about wild card weekend or John Harbaugh where he's going to end up? You call the Red Pocket Mobile fan line, which is 888-808-1019, which is brought to you by your new ultimate cell carrier, Red Pocket Mobile.
You know, Juwan Jennings, a wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers who threw the touchdown pass yesterday, also had a touchdown pass in the Super Bowl. Yeah. He's one of two people to have a non-quarterback that has thrown two touchdown passes in NFL playoff history. Wow. Yeah. Yeah.
Chapter 2: What are the key matchups in the Niners vs. Seahawks game?
You know who the other guy is, Al? Hines Ward? Good guess. Bronco Nagurski. Gotta love that name. Now what? Nothing. I just thought you'd like to know that. That was our play of the week, man. Oh, okay. How about Demarcus Robinson coming out of nowhere and having a game that he had? No one had that happening. I mean, right out of the gate, this guy was contributing.
And I really think, I mean, I know that everybody's going to be on Seattle, but, I mean, with the way that this team has just got the, we can't do it because so many people are hurt and nobody believes in us and all that stuff. The way that Purdy and McCaffrey are playing. And Brock Purdy, too. After, you know, the way Mac Jones played, the comeback.
and play this well, and then also go into Philadelphia where he quit last time in a playoff game and then pull that off is remarkable. Yeah, remarkable is right. I just don't know if they – I mean, they're just dropping like flies, and they're going to be playing a team coming off of a bye. They're going to be on a short week, and this is going to be in the Seattle building. Yeah.
Seattle looks to be, I think, about 99.9% healthy. Well, yeah, that certainly helps. So if you missed it last segment, Matt LaFleur is going to be staying in Green Bay, according to Adam Schefter. The Packers and LaFleur are going to be working on a contract, so that hopefully eliminates for good John Harbaugh. Going there.
So now we're waiting to see what the Philadelphia Eagles may or may not do. Something is strange there. And A.J. Brown has talked. You saw him and Sirianni get into it. But I really don't think that those two guys had much of a problem with one another. I think what happens is what happened is and what's going on there is a Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown deal.
Now, you were just talking to me about the Philadelphia Eagles cap. If they trade A.J. Brown, I'm pretty sure that's going to be dead cap money that they can't handle. I'm sure if they trade Jalen Hurts, that's dead cap money that they can't handle. Yes.
So is it easier to get rid of the offensive coordinator, get rid of the head coach, and try to find a way to get those two guys to coexist than get rid of the players? Probably, but, I mean, something's got to give there.
Something has to give.
Yeah, so A.J. Brown, let's just take a look at his contract here for a second. So A.J. Brown, after next year, has the potential out. So he looks like he could be traded. Okay. His dead cap money is $72 million. But, you know, all this stuff is, you know... It can be changed around. New contracts can be written and money can be given up front. There could be voidable years.

Chapter 3: How are injuries affecting the 49ers' playoff chances?
Head coach predictions. Now we're on head coach predictions. Here we go. Ready? Giants, Browns, Falcons, Titans. Okay. Dolphins. Okay. All right. Who else am I missing here? One, two, three, four, five. There's eight. God. Still three of them. Got to fill standings. In the meantime, while I get this ready, let's go to Adam on the Upper East Side. What's going on, Adam? Hey, morning, boys.
Happy Monday. Yeah, what's up, man? Hey, boom.
Chapter 4: How does the coaching carousel impact NFL teams?
I'm sticking to the Norwegian thing. I started today off to celebrate the Bills win with a mukbang and Monday of a bacon, egg, and cheese with extra mayo. I figured that's a good way to start the week off. That's a nice celebration. I like it. What's happening? Hey, listen. I wanted to get your opinion on something. You were talking about you feeling Stafford's going to win the MVP this year.
I just wanted to get your professional take on either he or Drake May and why. I still think it's going to be Matthew Stafford. I really do. And I know that... There's an equal amount of statistical analysis where you could say Drake May is better in these things. Matthew Stafford is better in those things. Drake May's team ended up being seeded higher than Matthew Stafford's team ended up being.
I don't know. I just think that Matthew Stafford had a tremendous season. Tremendous season.
Chapter 5: Why is the MVP race between Matthew Stafford and Drake Maye significant?
He had a lot of one-yard touchdowns, a lot of inside-the-five-yard touchdown passes. Yeah. The one thing that you've got to take into account, but he's up with, what, 48 TDs? I think it's going to be him. I think it may be the closest vote in the history of the MVP. All right. Okay. Here we go. You want to start with the Giants, you want to start, you want to end with the Giants.
Well, let's start with the Giants and we'll say John Harbaugh. All right, so I'm going to agree with you on that. So we both have Harbaugh going to the Giants. Cleveland Browns. I'm going to say Mike McDaniel goes there. Mike McDaniel. You say Mike McDaniel.
Chapter 6: What are the implications of A.J. Brown's contract situation?
I'm going to say... I'm going to say they're going to leave it open. Come on. Nobody wants it. Come on. Oh, man.
God.
Go to the next one. All right, the Atlanta Falcons. Kevin Stefanski. Okay. Or Mike McDaniel. No, you've got to give me one here. What are you doing here? All right, you're going to say Stefanski going to the Falcons. All right.
You know what?
I'll agree with you. Wow. I will agree with you. All right. The Ravens. I'm going to say Jesse Minter. Right. To the Ravens. I could see that 100%.

Chapter 7: What were Jalen Hurts' thoughts on the Eagles' playoff exit?
Or... Or... Who? What guy? Did you forget his name or something? No, I'm just thinking... You want me to put you down for mentor, too? See, the reason why I don't say mentor, I don't, you know, just because John Harbaugh was fired via phone call. Okay. And Jesse Mentor's, like, in that Harbaugh web. Okay. Really? Yeah, but, I mean, he had a great relationship with Steve Bishotti all that time.
Yes, he did. I mean... Yeah, I don't know. Ravens, Ravens. They got to get somebody. They got to get like a Clint Kubiak in there. Okay. Or Cliff Kingsbury. Nah, I just can't see Cliff Kingsbury there. This is harder than I'd expect getting these answers out of you. You want me to put you down for Minter here or no? Yes. All right. I'm going to go. Dolphins, I'm going to say Jeff Halfley.
Not Chris Shula? Not Chris Shula. You like Shula? I like Shula. You like Shula? I happen to love Shula. I like that. I like that Shula. I love that Shula. You want me to put you on Shula? Jesus Christ. Where are we putting Clint Kubiak? I don't know. I haven't put him anywhere. I'm just at least giving you an answer here. I thought about this. I was thinking about these.
I'm thinking Clint Kubiak, Tennessee. All right. You want Kubiak with the Titans. All right. All right. I'm thinking Chris Shula is going to get like the Cardinals or something. All right. All right. Here we go. Now we're cooking with gas. Where's Rob Sala going? How about the Ravens? All right, you want solid for the Ravens? I'm going to go solid to the Raiders.
I'm going Brian Flores to the Raiders. Okay, so I got solid to the Raiders. You got Flores, and you want solid to the Ravens? That's what you want? Yeah. Okay. So you didn't give me an answer on the Dolphins or the Browns. I agree with you on Kubiak to the Titans. So this is what – oh, I didn't give an answer for the Cardinals. Why did you say – did you say Jeff Halfway to the Dolphins?
I did, yeah. Is that because the guy's coming from Green Bay? Yeah, I mean, that's just some – I don't really know.
I don't know what the – that's going on.
I just – you know, I just made that connection, yeah. Okay. I haven't given you a Dolphins. So Troy Aikman and Dan Marino are involved in this process, by the way. Which is good. I was glad to hear Dan is actually involved. Got Dolphins-Browns. You need a Dolphins head coach, you need a Browns head coach. Cardinals. Browns-Mike McCarthy. Wow. Wow. Wow. Desperation spot there for McCarthy.
Man, oh, man. All right, Pittsburgh guy running the Cleveland team. Hey, why not? Who's another? There's not another big offensive coordinator. Flores? You know what? Flores to the Cardinals? No, I'm going to do that. Flores to the Cardinals. Flores to the Cardinals. So now you need the Dolphins. The only one you need now is the Dolphins.

Chapter 8: What predictions are being made for head coaching changes?
Like, would Dan Marino be pushing for that? Would Troy Aikman be pushing for that? I don't know how the kid is viewed. No, he's highly thought of. I mean, definitely. So is Jesse Minter, for that matter. Yeah. See, I could see Jesse Minter going to Cleveland. He's going to be a guy. He's going to get bigger jobs than that. He's going to have his choice, Minter. That's why I think Ravens.
By the way, Greg Roman, who is rumored to probably be fired for the Chargers, worked with John Harbaugh for many years in Baltimore. That might be his offensive coordinator. Might be. Something to keep an eye on. Something to keep an eye on. It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. Hi, Boomer and Geo on the fan and CBS Sports Network. One more game tonight.
I don't think anybody, I haven't heard anybody. Pick the Pittsburgh Steelers in this game. I know that people are out there that are doing it. But everybody I talked to yesterday watching the games, everybody's on the Texans. Me and you are on the Texans. Who'd you pick, Jerry? Whoever you pick is going to lose. I'm going to go with the Texans. You're going to go with the Texans? I have to.
All right. Well, see, everybody's on the Texans. Does anybody believe in the Steelers in this game?
No.
Not a single person. And they're at home, and it's a three-point spread. You'd think somebody would be on them. Nobody's on them. And that's your Super Bowl team right there. Boomer Esiason's AFC Super Bowl representative, Houston Texans. I saw your Ethos commercial. Oh, you did? Very well done. Well, thank you very much. I appreciate that. No problem. That's it. Okay.
It took six hours to film that 10 seconds. That was 15 seconds. Okay. There's a 30 second coming. Oh, there is? Yes. It came out very well. Well, thank you. I appreciate it. Sad though, right? Well, I mean, they want you to be sad. Yes, it is. But they also want you to be prepared. And they want you to get life insurance. Like I always tell you guys. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, of course.
Got to be prepared. Have to be. Life insurance generators. What will Whimsy do if you go out? Probably eat my corpse. That's disgusting, but probably right. All right. What do you got over there?

Patriots beat the Chargers last night 16-3 to wrap up Super Wild Card weekend with one game to go, of course, meaning the Saturday and Sunday games. Here was Drake May. It might not have been a thing of beauty, but we won. There was only the one touchdown. That was the 28-yarder to Hunter Henry. May threw for 268 on the night. Here was reaction postgame.
