Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to react to the Eagles destroying the Chiefs in Super Bowl 59! They start with the Chiefs being completely overwhelmed at the line of scrimmage by both the Eagles defensive front and offensive line (3:00). They break down the incredible drafting by the Eagles in recent years and the noticeable talent gap between the two teams and credit Eagles GM Howie Roseman for building the best roster in a decade (10:30).  They credit Jalen Hurts for being the perfect fit for the Eagles offense and call him the “modern day Russell Wilson” (14:00)and why the Eagles are the perfect example of a team that has built their team incredibly well through the draft and why he deserved to win the Super Bowl MVP award (25:00). They discuss why one of the winners on the night is MYLES GARRETT in the trade market after a night where the Eagles pass rush dominated the game (31:00), and why the Eagles fans showed up in a huge way at the game (33:00).  They dissect why Nick Sirriani has proven himself as a great culture builder despite their earlier concerns and why he could be the perfect fit for Philly (38:00), and debate what this bad loss means for the legacy of Patrick Mahomes in the GOAT debate (42::30.  They float the idea of the Chiefs trading for Myles Garrett if Travis Kelce decides to retire and frees up salary cap space and how that could transform the franchise (52:00), and why the Cowboys should consider trading Micah Parsons in order to try to close the talent gap between them and the Eagles (56:15).   Finally, they talk about the importance of the Eagles landing Saquon Barkley, and the Jets deciding to move off of Aaron Rodges (1:03:00).
