What does he expect from Super Bowl LVI? Where does the “Coach” see an advantage for one of the teams? And how does he judge the winners at the NFL Honors? ran has collected his most important statements.

Patrick Esume on…

..Matthew Stafford’s style of play: “It’s his first time in the Super Bowl, he’s going to say to himself, ‘Don’t play scared.’ Still, he’ll make a mistake, I’m sure of it.”

…Aaron Rodgers’ MVP choice: “It’s definitely OK. I was expecting Brady, he has more touchdowns, he has more interceptions of course. What made the difference in the end was the touchdown interception rate, the completion percentage.”

…Joe Burrow as comeback player of the year: “Burrow led the league in completion percentage. As a second-year player coming back from injury. He has led his team to the playoffs and wins games. In my opinion, he deserves it. He’s more valuable to his team than Dak Prescott, who also played a good season. “

..T.J. Watt as Defensive Player of the year: “22.5 sacks – setting the record. What a season that’s been!? You have to give the man the thing.”

…On whether the game has gotten softer: “It’s gotten a lot harder for a defensive end to catch the quarterback. You used to get away with more. I don’t want to diminish the accomplishments of Donald and Watt (compared to previous generations, ed.).”

…the Bengals offense in the Super Bowl: “You’ve got to run the ball and not leave Aaron Donald alone. You don’t have a chance if you take nine sacks again, and the D-line is even better this time than the Titans’, which gave them nine sacks. The only way you have a chance is if you create gaps.”

…The Rams before the final game: “Coach Sean McVay is still in his 30s, he’s getting better. There’s more pressure overall on the Rams than the Bengals. Cooper Kupp is so smart, he runs behind the linebackers and towards the safeties. He’s hard to stop that way.”

…His feeling before the Super Bowl: “The excitement isn’t quite there yet. When I get on the plane to Munich tomorrow, it’s okay. I picked up my Super Bowl suit today, I’m going to try it on. And then at some point the crispness will set in. “
