Hey, everybody. This is the preview edition of Birds Weekly presented by the Inside the Birds Network for my man, former NFL player, former Super Bowl champion Barrett Brooks, who never let me touch his ring, by the way. I'm Derek Gunn. He calls himself a friend, but that's another story. B. Brooks, playoffs are here, baby. Playoffs. That's what I'm talking about. I thought you were talking about somebody else, you know, I mean, probably nice to me, saying nice stuff about me. Oh, okay. No, we're good. It's a new year, man. I'm not turned over a new leaf, man.

0:39.2

You caused me a lot of grief in my lifetime, a lot of antagonism. You've lied to me on my family.

0:44.7

That's another story for another day. Anyway, all right. So the dates, the time, the wares are set.

0:51.6

The Eagles head to the playoffs as the three C. Their first opponent is the San

0:56.7

Francisco 49ers. This was a 49ers team that was on a row. They were to talk of the league

1:02.2

every one, six in a row, and all of a sudden the last game of the season, they crash and burn

1:07.0

against Seattle. Seattle basically revealed a blueprint on this team, B. Brooks. If you can

1:12.3

control Christian McCaffrey, you can control that play action offense of the 49ers. Now, we're

1:19.7

talking about almost a superhuman being when you talk about Christian McCaffrey. This man had

1:25.0

311 carries for over 1,200 yards rushing.

1:28.2

He had almost 1,000 yards receiving.

1:32.0

This man is the offense of the 40 diners.

1:35.8

Do you agree wholeheartedly, if you can control him the way Seattle did,

1:40.8

that's your best road to success in this game?

1:43.7

Absolutely, absolutely. I think that he is the key cog that makes that whole machine run. Now, what people don't understand is you want to stop the run, but the run is not what they do. They're not based off their run. They're based off a pass. And the reason they can do that because everybody has the notion that you have to stop Christian McCaffrey in the run game.

2:02.7

Now, I'll tell you how to stop Mr. Christian McCaffer in that run game.

2:06.2

Wherever you see their fullback go, that's where the ball is going.

2:12.6

They have circle motions.

2:14.1

They have motions that are flying everywhere.

2:16.4

But watch what was his name uh use check you watch

2:18.5

what use check goes yeah and wherever kyle goes that ball's gonna go so you can stop the run against

2:25.5

them but's the passing game that they involved with it that's what makes it's so hard to deal with
