Like him but eventually he's uh he he Filled her in on us so it was uh it was A ton of fun we've got we've got great Fans they've always traveled really well And you know playing in Carolina was Something really special Yeah Luke let's talk about your time in Carolina you were teammates with James Bradberry and Greg Olsen who both in Different ways played a big role in Super Bowl 57. let's listen in to how Olson and you call some radio games for Carolina so you know what it's like to Be up in that Booth along with Kevin Burkhart called Bradbury's holding Penalty late in the fourth quarter Pressure lofting one ends And complete Juju Smith Schuster Couldn't catch up there's a flag at the 10. hang on there's a penalty here You'll see James Bradberry they're gonna Say he grabs them He's got his left hand on his back I Don't know I think on this stage I I think you let him play obviously Mahomes thought he saw it I think I don't know I think you let him play Finish this thing out All right here's the three-part question Luke uh did you see the play what'd you Think of it how do you think your former Teammates handled that moment Bradbury Taking responsibility for the penalty But also Olson's call and his opinion in
That moment Well I think I think with James I played With James for for four years in Carolina and he is the best I love that Guy he's smart he's competitive and as You can tell he took responsibility but You know what I'm a defensive guy I'm with James I would have done the Same thing I think you know you got to Let those guys play I think you know if From a defensive guy the receivers got Play a little stronger he can't let that Hole do anything to him but hey I'm a Defensive guy so I'm gonna say I'm gonna Decide I'm gonna side with James I'm Gonna side with with Greg you know three Of us teammates we all got to stick Together but I think Greg's done a Phenomenal job this year with Fox he was Tremendous and then James had another Great year as a second team All-Pro Special player special guy and I'm a Defensive guy so I'm gonna side with Those guys and say Hey Big situation let Him play because the defense perspective Is always going to win so Luke you hung him up after eight years You were at the top of the game you're Now a few years removed from that what's The one thing that you miss most from Lining up against those guys and going To battle every week Oh I think the thing you missed I think Everybody will agree on this Jason you
