New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
How does it feel? How does it feel? Peyton's officially on the hot seat, I think, as coach. I saw some breaking news headlines kind of on social media. So, I mean, if he does get fired, I'll probably hire him as my special teams coach. Quarterback coach or water boy or something. Yeah.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
The Chiefs' fault. The Chiefs' fault. Yeah, the Chiefs' resentment.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
Yeah. You know, these, there's these special teamers, you know, they kind of have rules around. We want the offensive guys playing offense, defensive guys playing defense, the special teamers, you know, that we don't have any special teams. There's no, there's no kickoff returns or punts. So there's kind of, they can freelance. You can use them however. So I said, Hey,
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
I told Larry Foote, I said, you know, Turpin's your special blitz guy. He's fast. He can run. Had a couple sacks. He's not going to get tired. Like, you know, the first series we were rushing some outside linebackers. They were kind of rushing in there because they don't want to drop. These guys are professional rushers. They're not drop guys, coverage guys.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
But then Burrow was running right by them. So Turpin got the call pretty quickly. I loved it.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
I'd love for me to pull for the Eagles, like being in the division. But it's a little bit easier this year with Saquon being there and having to be a teammate. Yeah. Oh, yeah. You know, I think in these situations, you really root for players. You root for coaches that you know. And, I mean, obviously, you know, a lot of connections. Travis, you know, rooting for you to win a Super Bowl.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
Rooting for Steve Spangler and Andy Reid. Oh, Spanx. But, you know, it's a little more difficult for the Eagles, but with Saquon there, you kind of want all those guys to experience winning a championship. Obviously, Travis, you've done it many times, and to go for a three-peat would be unbelievable. But you know that feeling, and you never get tired of it. So do you, Jason.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
You know that feeling of winning. of winning a championship and you want all your pals that you've met or played with to have that feeling at least one time.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
I love the confidence. I'm healthy now. This is about six weeks ago. I did pull a quad. You've been practicing for six weeks? Six weeks, yeah.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
Yeah, no stretch, no nothing. I was just like, I'll just kick a 25-yarder. I was like, put it at 25. I kicked one. It went in. I kicked the next one, and it went four yards with a pulled quad, and I limped. Oh, my God. I kicked on Monday this week. It felt good. I didn't get to the full 25 yards, but I just kicked about a 20-yarder, and I think I'll be ready for Sunday.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
The trainer will get you that extra. They said they can give me a tortural shot now that I'm not a player anymore. I'm taking both. This guy's committed. This guy's committed. Full throttle. I'm going game day mode, full warm-up, full super tee shot, get everything.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
Yeah. Hodge. Hodge. There it is. He came up and said he was a camper. He came his junior year. He was a quarterback and he came to the camp. And that's crazy. Obviously, we told him, I think you should try receiver. Yeah. We saw right there. It's like seven on seven. He was playing receiver. Some made some plays and now he's, you know, he's making, making the pro bowl.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
It's a special team guy, but you know, you know, he's a receiver also in the NFL. And, and so this is a great story. So we've had a couple of guys, A couple guys, a couple quarterbacks in the NFL also. I think Russell Wilson was a camper. You know, not as a counselor, became as a camper in high school.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
Yeah, this is a confirmed story. Every year before the first – Uh, preseason game and, you know, a lot of these years, you know, kind of the starters aren't playing much and they're really going over a little bit that first game, what the routine is before the first preseason game. Like, how do we line up? How do we stretch? Like, how do you run out of the tunnel?
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
Like all the, you know, patent goes. So we're kind of doing those things. And, you know, I'm kind of sitting on the sideline a long time, and I always kind of walk up to a few of the rookies, and I'm kind of holding my mouth, and I'm going, man, I've got to get my mouth, my teeth been bothering me. I've got to get my wisdom teeth pulled after the game. And they're kind of asking questions.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
I ask them if they have or have their wisdom teeth pulled. Whether they say yes or no, I say, you know, can I see? Can I either see? You still have holes in your mouth. And so when they kind of open up and look up and open their mouth, I got a big chunk or clump of grass and dirt in my hand. And I just throw it in there. And, you know, I've gotten like three or four guys on that first practice.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
I've gotten a few coaches. So good, dude. Sean O'Hara and I were trying to get a rookie, and Amani Toomer came over. Amani is like in his ninth year, and he just jumped in the conversation. We're not talking to him. And he opened up, and O'Hara put a couple of grass in his mouth. That's so bad. We weren't trying to get you. You offered up this information. I couldn't resist.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
It was an emotional moment.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
Yeah, I mean, I think it's just for me, it was just trying to get that first completion. And I just remember, you know, you're just nervous. I mean, kind of a new nerve. And you played a whole season. You played playoff games. You played the NFC Championship. All of a sudden, it's like a Super Bowl. Just all the lights and the national anthem and everything going on.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
And I just remember, you know, the coach was kind of going through some of the plays and I was just like, coach, I'm just, I'm a little nervous. I want like a, I need a handoff the first play. Like, I don't want to, you know, I'm just, I don't know. I just got to get like breathe a little bit. So we got a handoff and I got my first completion next play. And,
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
And, you know, had a nice kind of 10 play, long drive, got a field goal. And then, you know, it was kind of back to normal. But it's definitely a different intensity and just, you know, two weeks to think about it. And there's so much coming on on this game and what it means to your team, your fans, your family. You know, so many people coming in town for it.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
Or any of your centers? Well, I had wet ball drill with Sean every single day. Every day. It's a spreader.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
It wouldn't rain.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
Yeah, I mean, this is before you're in shotgun every playoff. We're under center, eye formation, and we're under center on first and second down every series, even third down sometimes. We were under center and dropping back and throwing the ball. So, I mean, I was getting a wet ball. I made him change his pants at halftime. I've had to do that, unfortunately, a couple times. That's crazy.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
That's not easy. I mean, they basically have to cut the pants off because you've got your shoes are spazzed. You can't just take off your shoes. You're taped up. You're taped up. Yeah, everything else. I mean, he's on his back just laying there, and people are ripping him off.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
It's not that hard to get the pants on, but putting dry pants on a wet body is not an easy feat, especially over the sleeves. So he was not happy about that. He was ready for November to hit, the cooler weather. I didn't make him change the pants. But we didn't have any fumbled snaps just because of all the wet ball drill.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
Shockey's bender is a little bit different than Dallas. Shockey, when you have a bender, that word means something different to Shockey.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
I think the other thing with the tight ends and quarterback, it's harder for a team to double a tight end. You might have a receiver on the outside. Hey, we've got to take away this receiver. We're going to play two-man or we're going to double him in different ways or play certain zones to take him away.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
where some of your staple plays on first and second down, you're going to have a matchup in the offensive favor of a tight end on a linebacker, possibly, where, hey, we can run a stick route. We can get a completion. So I think you just have a lot of your –
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
your high percentage completion plays are kind of the tight ends the number one read and hey if they if they do take him away or they have bad leverage you should have one-on-one with your receivers and get through your progression but i just think kind of some of your your staples and your comfort plays it starts with the tight end being that first read nice and we can all confirm that you you got to get that bond off the field and have some beers how many times you go on a bender with shocky
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
No benders with Shockey, but definitely, you know, we hit the town of New York, New York City a few times those first couple years. He showed me some spots that I definitely haven't been to since, let's say that. I love it, man.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
That's good. He likes the harmonica, though. If you give him the opportunity. Is he a harmonica? I would love to hear that. That's a lost talent. I got to find that.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
Ooh, slide, slide. Slide, slide. He also told us we're not very fast, so don't run. He could run.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
And he said, don't do that. Y'all are not fast. And when you get out there, get down, don't take hits. And, you know, we learned that the hard way. You know, it only takes one hit in the NFL. And you're like, yeah, I should have listened to dad. He's definitely right.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
Yeah, there was definitely more pressure on me trying to follow in Peyton's footsteps. He was five years older than me. You know, I go into the high school. He set every record. I'm going into college. He was just up for the Heisman. He was the first pick in the NFL draft. And it's, you know, it's like, geez, Luis, you feel like,
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
didn't have to do the best at everything that I enter into, follow your footsteps. But he was a great big brother as I got older. I mean, he definitely picked on me and gave me wedgies and noogies and all those things, which I think helped me. It toughened me up and got me prepared for the NFL. But he always did, like in college, he would come back
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
and teach me the things he was learning in college. Hey, we're doing this on the three-step drop. And hey, this is some of the drills we're doing in college. You should be doing these now. Get a head start on these things. So he did look out for me all the time and probably put more pressure on me to do some of these drills than my dad did.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
I guess mine sounds worse. It's over a career. His is just... I would agree.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
And they're throwing more now than you were throwing. Yeah. More games, more and less interceptions. Something's not right. They've got to get to 10 in the first three games. If they can get to 10 in the first three games. You've got to get off to a good start.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
I mean, you got to go with Peyton again. I mean, the guy's, you know, he's a great spokesman. He's just.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
Oh, my gosh.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
Wow. I'll answer it. He don't want to say it. He's too nice. I mean, he is – in the NFL games, I have not beat him in a real game. Now, flag football, pro ball, I got that mastered. But I'm 0 for 3 any time we face them in a real game. And so – but, you know, I'm – That's just the way it went those years.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
It would have been – I guess it would have been – I don't know if it would have been fun to play in a Super Bowl or not. I mean, y'all did it. It's got to be awesome. I can tell you right now, it was not fun at all.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
felt that misery that was just being a good brother you guys know about being good brothers did you feel bad going out that night and celebrating like just knowing that your brother is crying in his hotel room and you're just you were just fine just going out there and just well you know once you have a few beers you forget about everything i was not i wasn't crying i was pulling a jeremy shocky is what i was doing
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
Yeah, I mean, not that I give away. Spags is the best. And, I mean, we saw it. It's the first time I've ever seen it in our first Super Bowl going against the Patriots where, you know, every time he had a strong side blitz and Brady made a call, hey, I'm going to pick it up, he had the defense reverse it and just kind of make a call, and all of a sudden it came from the weak side.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
And getting them to throw hots, getting them, you know, really just kind of causing some issues, saying – Hey, I can't be right with my protections. They're flip-flopping it sometimes. And so you just see it, you know, unbelievable. And last week's game, the last play, the fourth down against the Bills versus an empty formation of four by one. He brings a will corner blitz.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
on the biggest play of the game and has a free runner going. So, I mean, that's his mentality. He wants the blitz, but it's not just, hey, we're bringing blitz zero. It's going to be some exotic blitz, some blitz. He has it done all game long. All game long, he's not showing this blitz. When do you bring it? Fourth and five on the last drive in the most critical moment of the game.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
And so that's what makes him hard to prepare for is that, hey, how do I prepare for something I haven't seen yet or something they haven't done this year yet that he's going to draw up for these critical moments? And then when you think he is going to blitz, he fakes the blitz and going back to coverage. Just when you think you got him. He's just a mastermind. He's a great leader.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Peyton and Eli Manning, Super Bowl 59 Preview and Sucking on Crawfish Heads in New Orleans | Ep 123
He's a great human being. This is one of the great people, and so happy for him, all his success. I think, Travis, you know how lucky you are to have him on that defensive side, just being the leader over there.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
