0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:59.440
<v Speaker 1>to him. Quinton Lake, Rams safety. I wish you played

0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:01.800
<v Speaker 1>at Culver's High, but he's too big time. He played

0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:04.400
<v Speaker 1>it modern day. I'd love to see him as a

0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:07.240
<v Speaker 1>centaur though of course he was a UCA Brewin like

0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:10.440
<v Speaker 1>his father before him. Four seasons in the NFL and

0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:14.400
<v Speaker 1>he's bawling a leader on the Rams defense. Nice extension

0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:18.040
<v Speaker 1>a few weeks ago. Suffered a dislocated elbow in week eleven,

0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:20.400
<v Speaker 1>which is a scary injury, but he's right back playing.

0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:22.960
<v Speaker 1>We're always happy to have him on, and what a

0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 1>great year he's had. Quentin Lake on the Petrosen Money Show.

0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:29.200
<v Speaker 1>What's cracking, Quentin? How are you doing amazing. That was

0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:31.240
<v Speaker 1>that was a great intro. It seems like you you've

0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:32.360
<v Speaker 1>been you've been practicing that.

0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:32.920
<v Speaker 4>That was awesome.

0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:39.760
<v Speaker 1>I practice every day. Quentin. Welcome back, Welcome back, welcome back.

0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:44.040
<v Speaker 1>That's that's me and the mirror. Uh Quentin. Uh. For

0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:47.680
<v Speaker 1>you a guy that's been doing this for a little while, obviously,

0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:50.600
<v Speaker 1>you guys work so hard all year to get to

0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:53.440
<v Speaker 1>this point and deal with the bumps and bruises and

0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:56.000
<v Speaker 1>the ups and downs. What's it like during the week

0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:58.280
<v Speaker 1>when you're right on the edge of it, when you're

0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:01.400
<v Speaker 1>standing on the precipice, is it like walking on area?

0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:02.920
<v Speaker 1>Are you nervous? How does it feel?

0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:04.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:07.240
<v Speaker 4>It feels great. You know. The whole season, you go,

0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:11.440
<v Speaker 4>you grind you, you know, sweat. You have so many

0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:14.360
<v Speaker 4>sacrifices during the course of the season, whether it's Trend's family,

0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:17.240
<v Speaker 4>you know, anybody, and but you do it for all.

0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:19.520
<v Speaker 4>You do it off of this moment. You know, you

0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:21.800
<v Speaker 4>look back at how many games we played, how many

0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:23.920
<v Speaker 4>snaps that we played, you know, the ups and downs

0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:27.520
<v Speaker 4>of the season, the heartbreaking losses, the amazing victories. But

0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:29.120
<v Speaker 4>at the same time, all you got to do is

0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:31.080
<v Speaker 4>take it one step at a time, and we've been

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:33.320
<v Speaker 4>able to do that. You know, what I've been telling

0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:35.919
<v Speaker 4>the guys is understand the magnitude of the game, but

0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:38.800
<v Speaker 4>don't press. You know, there's a reason why we're here.

0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:41.400
<v Speaker 4>It's because we've been able to lock in each and

0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:44.400
<v Speaker 4>every week and handle our business. And now this week

0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:47.039
<v Speaker 4>is just another opportunity to really show the world what

0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:50.560
<v Speaker 4>the Rams are capable of, but honestly show the world

0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:53.120
<v Speaker 4>what each and every person that poured in you, that

0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:56.159
<v Speaker 4>believed in you, you know, show them right, improve them right,

0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:58.240
<v Speaker 4>improve everybody else that downed you wrong.

0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:02.320
<v Speaker 2>It's an idea. Just going back to last week Clinton overtime,

0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:05.640
<v Speaker 2>just remarkable play by Caleb to get that thing into

0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:08.520
<v Speaker 2>overtime on that fourth down throw and just making sure

0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:10.719
<v Speaker 2>you buckle down, you know, after the offense isn't able

0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:12.440
<v Speaker 2>to get it done on it's first possession, knowing it

0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:14.480
<v Speaker 2>then goes to sudden death. Just kind of walk us

0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:17.880
<v Speaker 2>through that interception that you guys were able to secure

0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:20.080
<v Speaker 2>to get that ball to Matthew Stafford and get that win,

0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:23.160
<v Speaker 2>and kind of how you approach a situation like that

0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:26.719
<v Speaker 2>after you know, what was an unbelievable play that nobody

0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:28.800
<v Speaker 2>could have possibly seen coming to get this thing into

0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:29.839
<v Speaker 2>ot in the first place.

0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:36.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, the play was amazing because we do nightly meetings

0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:38.800
<v Speaker 4>before games and we kind of go over things and

0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:41.920
<v Speaker 4>opportunities that present themselves to allow us to go out

0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:44.719
<v Speaker 4>in there and make plays as defensive backs, and Cam

0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:47.800
<v Speaker 4>Curle and our coach, Coach Aubrey plays and do an

0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:51.400
<v Speaker 4>amazing job of just really buying into the to the preparation.

0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:54.039
<v Speaker 4>And that was exactly what it was. Cam Curle, we

0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:56.760
<v Speaker 4>had a nightly meeting. We saw an opportunity to say, hey,

0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:59.160
<v Speaker 4>if you get this look and you get this route

0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:01.760
<v Speaker 4>and we're in this cover ridge, you know, play it

0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:04.000
<v Speaker 4>like this and you'll make a play. And the stars

0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:06.400
<v Speaker 4>aligned and Cam Crow made one hell of a play

0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:09.120
<v Speaker 4>and we knew if we gave the ball back to

0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:11.440
<v Speaker 4>Matthew Stafford, he's going to make some magic happen. We've

0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:13.640
<v Speaker 4>seen it over the course of the whole season and

0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:16.800
<v Speaker 4>there's a reason why he has a lot of fourth

0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:20.080
<v Speaker 4>quarter comebacks, a lot of you know, he's so steady

0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:23.520
<v Speaker 4>and high pressure moments. And like I said, Cam Crow,

0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:26.440
<v Speaker 4>he made really it was the game saving play, you know,

0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:28.479
<v Speaker 4>to put to get the ball back. Make it an

0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:30.920
<v Speaker 4>amazing catch. First of all, that was an awesome case.

0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:33.159
<v Speaker 4>He looked like a receiver out there. And then to

0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:35.279
<v Speaker 4>give the ball back to Matthew Stafford for them to

0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:38.560
<v Speaker 4>you know, ended in oc It was awesome And I'm

0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:40.920
<v Speaker 4>so happy for him because I know, you know, the

0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:43.600
<v Speaker 4>magnitude of that play, the magnitude really of the game.

0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:46.839
<v Speaker 4>He stepped up to the moment, no doubt.

0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:48.560
<v Speaker 2>What was it like? Just you know, we made a

0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:50.280
<v Speaker 2>big deal of it out here. We're in La I mean,

0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:52.560
<v Speaker 2>you're you're born raised here, so I mean, you know,

0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:53.880
<v Speaker 2>are you at high school here? I mean, you know

0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:57.080
<v Speaker 2>what it's like. It's supposed to be what nine degrees

0:06:57.200 --> 0:07:00.080
<v Speaker 2>feels like negative too? Does that affect the way you

0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:01.640
<v Speaker 2>play it all? Do you have to shake it off?

0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:03.880
<v Speaker 2>Do you have all the heating equipment on the sidelines

0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:05.800
<v Speaker 2>to make sure you get warm? Kind of as the

0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:07.560
<v Speaker 2>game and then you got to play an extra period

0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:09.520
<v Speaker 2>on top of it? Is it keeps dropping in temperature?

0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:12.600
<v Speaker 2>What is weather due to the football player out there

0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:13.480
<v Speaker 2>in a game like that?

0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:14.640
<v Speaker 1>You?

0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:17.120
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it was cold. I'm not gonna sit here

0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:19.160
<v Speaker 4>and say it was cold. But at the end of

0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:22.560
<v Speaker 4>the day, you know, everybody who's out there on the

0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:25.160
<v Speaker 4>field has to play in it, and we understood, like

0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:29.280
<v Speaker 4>your mindset and mentality has to be so strong that

0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:33.560
<v Speaker 4>the external factors and environment can affect your play. And

0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:35.600
<v Speaker 4>I think we did a great example of, you know,

0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:39.560
<v Speaker 4>being able to overcome the challenges that happened with the environment.

0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:42.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah it was cold, Yeah it was in the single digits.

0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:44.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah you know it was snowing. But at the end

0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:46.240
<v Speaker 4>of the day, you look at the defensive side of

0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:47.720
<v Speaker 4>the ball, on the offensive side of the ball, we

0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:49.600
<v Speaker 4>did what we needed to to win that game. A

0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:53.080
<v Speaker 4>couple fourth down stops, interceptions, you know, big players on offense,

0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:56.880
<v Speaker 4>you know, good solid runs. It was great and that's

0:07:56.920 --> 0:07:58.920
<v Speaker 4>just really a credit to our mindset and mentality going

0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:01.120
<v Speaker 4>into that week saying, either cold's not going to bother

0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:02.760
<v Speaker 4>us and we're gonna be ready.

0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:06.080
<v Speaker 1>The one and only Quentin Lake joining us right now

0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:10.240
<v Speaker 1>on the Petros and Money Show. Big game coming up,

0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:14.160
<v Speaker 1>Rams versus Seahawks, and this young man is a big

0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:18.120
<v Speaker 1>part of it. Overcoming that that dislocated elbow. You can

0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:20.640
<v Speaker 1>do that injury and have some really bad stuff happened,

0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:23.600
<v Speaker 1>but you didn't have that much damage so you were

0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:26.560
<v Speaker 1>able to come back. But that's a scary injury. Quentin,

0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:29.240
<v Speaker 1>How does it feel right now? How did you battle

0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:29.560
<v Speaker 1>through that?

0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:36.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, the biggest thing for me was understanding and hoping

0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:39.360
<v Speaker 4>and beleeding in my team. You know, it was tough

0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:41.640
<v Speaker 4>and it was scary in that moment. You know, you

0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:44.400
<v Speaker 4>get it, You're you're in that position a lot, you know,

0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:46.880
<v Speaker 4>where you're engaged in a blocker. You put your arm

0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:49.880
<v Speaker 4>out and you try to make a tackle. But unfortunately

0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:52.120
<v Speaker 4>my arm was just you know, in the wrong place

0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:56.040
<v Speaker 4>at the wrong time. But through you know, the really

0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:57.960
<v Speaker 4>month and a half of rehab that I was going to,

0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:02.120
<v Speaker 4>I always leaned on really my teammates, my family, and

0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:04.160
<v Speaker 4>really God. You know, there's a there's a Bible verse

0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:08.760
<v Speaker 4>Matthew six thirty four that says, therefore tomorrow will therefore

0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:12.520
<v Speaker 4>don't worry about tomorrow. Tomorrow will worry about itself. Today

0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:16.479
<v Speaker 4>has enough problem of its own, and that the context

0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:20.160
<v Speaker 4>in that is just worry about today, you know, worry

0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:23.240
<v Speaker 4>about the things and be and live in the present moment.

0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:26.800
<v Speaker 4>You know, I was there were moments where I was like, man,

0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:29.040
<v Speaker 4>I can't wait to get back, or I'm trying to

0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:30.960
<v Speaker 4>rushing to get back. But I always had to remind

0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:34.439
<v Speaker 4>myself just attack today, you know, focus on how can

0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:36.199
<v Speaker 4>I be the best version of myself? How can I

0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:39.280
<v Speaker 4>attack this day of rehab. And once you continue to

0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:42.480
<v Speaker 4>stack days, once you continue to put good days of

0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:45.480
<v Speaker 4>rehab together, and you see you get more range of

0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:48.560
<v Speaker 4>motion in your elbow, you get more, You're able to

0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:50.600
<v Speaker 4>do more. You're able to start running, You're able to

0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:53.680
<v Speaker 4>start lifting and you know, pushing weights. Those are the

0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:56.720
<v Speaker 4>small incremental spets that give you the confidence to come back.

0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:58.880
<v Speaker 4>And you know, when I came back, I felt like

0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:01.600
<v Speaker 4>I had a lot of confidence. Shout out to you know, everybody,

0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:04.360
<v Speaker 4>the training staff and everybody that I worked with. But

0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:08.040
<v Speaker 4>like we talked about and you guys mentioned, it was

0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:10.040
<v Speaker 4>a scary injury, but that at the same time, I

0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:12.160
<v Speaker 4>had a lot of confidence and I knew, if this

0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:14.120
<v Speaker 4>team handles business, I'll be able to come back and

0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:16.760
<v Speaker 4>play meetingful football in January and hopefully in February two.

0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:20.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Quinton, you mentioned this team, you had the team

0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:22.920
<v Speaker 2>last year. You know, It's just it was really it

0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:25.480
<v Speaker 2>felt like a coin flip man in that divisional round.

0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:28.679
<v Speaker 2>Does it feel different this year? When you went into

0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:31.280
<v Speaker 2>the playoffs, you go in, you know, as a wildcard

0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:33.400
<v Speaker 2>team this time, as opposed to a division winner having

0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:35.840
<v Speaker 2>to win three games on the road potentially in order

0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:37.840
<v Speaker 2>to make it to the Super Bowl. Just kind of

0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:40.440
<v Speaker 2>were there's similar vibes because it certainly felt like that

0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:42.360
<v Speaker 2>team last year could have won a Super Bowl as well.

0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:46.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you know it is. It is a little bit

0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:49.520
<v Speaker 4>of similar vibes. But I would say the difference between

0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:53.839
<v Speaker 4>this team and last year's team is this is probably

0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:57.280
<v Speaker 4>the most connected team that I've been on my four

0:10:57.360 --> 0:11:01.120
<v Speaker 4>years in the NFL. You know, everybody wants to see

0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:04.920
<v Speaker 4>everybody else around them succeed. You know, we have guys

0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:06.960
<v Speaker 4>that just mesh well, and you have when you have

0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:09.840
<v Speaker 4>good people around you, you want to play for them.

0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:13.600
<v Speaker 4>We have an amazing coaching staff, amazing players, and really

0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:20.000
<v Speaker 4>just the organization is amazing in general. But it's crazy

0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:23.600
<v Speaker 4>because you know, there's a little bit of history repeating itself.

0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:27.920
<v Speaker 4>You look at last year Divisional we didn't have necessarily

0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:30.440
<v Speaker 4>we were so close to getting and being able to

0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:33.760
<v Speaker 4>host an NFC championship at home. But luckily this year

0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:36.560
<v Speaker 4>we handled you know, business for the first two games

0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:39.000
<v Speaker 4>and now we get a chance to play that play

0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:41.680
<v Speaker 4>in an NFC championship. Although it's not at home, we

0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:44.360
<v Speaker 4>still get that opportunity and now it's just being able

0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:48.440
<v Speaker 4>to capitalize on that. This is probably and I will say,

0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:50.720
<v Speaker 4>this is my favorite team that I've been on. You know,

0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:53.760
<v Speaker 4>just the group of guys that we have, everybody in

0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:56.040
<v Speaker 4>the building. I mean, it's amazing to see and everybody

0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:58.680
<v Speaker 4>has their own story, which I like to So it's

0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:00.959
<v Speaker 4>going to be, you know, great on Sunday, but it's

0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:02.920
<v Speaker 4>already been one one hell of a journey.

0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:06.440
<v Speaker 1>We have The Kicker on a little later today, Quentin

0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:09.480
<v Speaker 1>this hour, Harrison Nevis is going to join us the

0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:12.680
<v Speaker 1>Thicker Kicker, which I believe is something that he enjoys

0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:15.520
<v Speaker 1>being called. I mean, how thick is he? Is he

0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:16.959
<v Speaker 1>that thick in person?

0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:21.760
<v Speaker 4>I mean yeah, probably his legs for sure, but you

0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:23.880
<v Speaker 4>know he's been knocking it through. He's an awesome guy,

0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:27.840
<v Speaker 4>and yeah, that that nickname just fits him. Man, he's

0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:31.400
<v Speaker 4>been I mean, he can he can kick fifties forties

0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:34.679
<v Speaker 4>and knock him true anytime. So I'm glad. Definitely guy

0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:37.560
<v Speaker 4>we picked him up and it's shown. I mean, you know,

0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:41.240
<v Speaker 4>he kicked the game winner last week, this past Sunday,

0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:44.480
<v Speaker 4>and you know, hopefully he'll have some other opportunities to

0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:47.719
<v Speaker 4>you know, just kick him straight through. So yeah, tell

0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:49.400
<v Speaker 4>him when you guys get him on, tell him. I

0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:50.640

<v Speaker 1>has Bob Chesney sent you the former player packet? Uh

0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:07.320
<v Speaker 1>that you're getting like, uh that they're reaching out to

0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:09.920
<v Speaker 1>everybody anything like that? Quinton? Are they leaving you alone

0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:11.720
<v Speaker 1>because you're balling so hard in the league?

0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:15.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, they did save me your care package. I still haven't.

<v Speaker 2>first two games, a win, a loss, and kind of

0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:07.360
<v Speaker 2>a what are we looking at in this contest? It

0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:09.560
<v Speaker 2>feels like the two of you, two teams are are

0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:10.520
<v Speaker 2>pretty darn close.

0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:13.040
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's just gonna be a heavyweight fight. I mean,

<v Speaker 4>lot of people on the East Coast are gonna be

<v Speaker 4>of people, this is gonna be people super Bowl. I

0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:29.160
<v Speaker 4>mean you look at, really, two of the best teams

0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:32.720
<v Speaker 4>in the NFL just going at it, and two teams

0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:35.320
<v Speaker 4>that know each other well, two teams that obviously has

0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:37.360
<v Speaker 4>played each other twice, and there's been a one point

0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:40.520
<v Speaker 4>score differential in the yard totally yards has been close too,

0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:44.600
<v Speaker 4>so it's going to be an amazing game. But on

0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:46.320
<v Speaker 4>top of that, I will say this for myself, I've

0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:48.880
<v Speaker 4>only played two quarters in this matchup twice in this

0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:51.920
<v Speaker 4>total matchup, So i played two quarters in the first

0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:53.720
<v Speaker 4>game and that's when I got injured in week eleven,

0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:55.960
<v Speaker 4>and then I missed the Thursday night game. So I'm

0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:58.160

<v Speaker 1>the day, Top Story.

0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:58.159
<v Speaker 2>Of it Well, NFL Power Hour Pee, Let's focus on

0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:01.639
<v Speaker 2>the NFC Championship Game Super Bowl participant in town. The

0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:07.000
<v Speaker 2>last time they met, Matthew Stafford, likely his signature performance

0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:11.560
<v Speaker 2>of his MVP resume, torched the number one defense in

0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:16.120
<v Speaker 2>the NFL four one hundred and fifty seven yards, three touchdowns,

0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:22.520
<v Speaker 2>zero interceptions, nine point three per attempt. PUKA was unstoppable,

0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:27.160
<v Speaker 2>sixteen targets, twelve catches, two hundred twenty five yards nineteen

0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:31.960
<v Speaker 2>per grab, two touchdowns. Uh, Seattle did what they do.

0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:34.760
<v Speaker 2>They took away the run. You've talked about it repeatedly.

0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:38.080
<v Speaker 2>That is what Sean McVay wants to do. Everything operates

0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:43.280
<v Speaker 2>and revolves around his run game. But McVeigh used someone

0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:47.879
<v Speaker 2>in the conversation as the best player in football, not

0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:52.800
<v Speaker 2>Matthew Stafford Pooka Nakua to even out that battle. You

0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:55.479
<v Speaker 2>look at all of the snaps and there were things

0:18:55.520 --> 0:18:58.760
<v Speaker 2>that were apparent and how productive he was. He lined

0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:01.320
<v Speaker 2>up all over the field, He was in motion a lot.

0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:04.119
<v Speaker 2>Early in the game, he got Devin Weatherspoon on him.

0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:07.640
<v Speaker 2>Witherspoon one of the best cover corners in the league,

0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:11.840
<v Speaker 2>and McVeigh got after that immediately started moving him away

0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:14.879
<v Speaker 2>from Witherspoon onto Josh Job and coverage, and that is

0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:18.000
<v Speaker 2>where he went to work. Fourth and five, he makes

0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:20.040
<v Speaker 2>a great grab in front of Joe at the Seattle

0:19:20.119 --> 0:19:24.439
<v Speaker 2>thirtyffering he is and boy did he suffer. Let me

0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:26.439
<v Speaker 2>tell you, you want to talk about wearing it and

0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:29.000
<v Speaker 2>still having to keep your conviction that you could keep

0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:34.080
<v Speaker 2>doing this. That was this game repeatedly, he beats the

0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:38.320
<v Speaker 2>opposite corner fifty three yards for a big gainer, a

0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:42.000
<v Speaker 2>forty three yard touchdown, nearly a sixty two yard touchdown

0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:45.840
<v Speaker 2>tackled at the three yard line against the safety Kobe Bryant.

0:19:46.600 --> 0:19:51.720
<v Speaker 2>Point being that I would assume that the Seahawks coach

0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:55.000
<v Speaker 2>Mike McDonald, who runs the same defense Jesse Minner did

0:19:55.040 --> 0:19:58.679
<v Speaker 2>here with the Chargers. Not a lot of mandaman, not

0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:01.360
<v Speaker 2>a lot of moving your best corner to shadow their

0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:04.480
<v Speaker 2>best receiver. But you go back and watch that game,

0:20:05.160 --> 0:20:08.119
<v Speaker 2>and that's probably the only way it's going to happen,

0:20:08.200 --> 0:20:11.840
<v Speaker 2>because unless it was Witherspoon on him when Stafford tried

0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:14.040
<v Speaker 2>to go to Nicooa but he was covered or went

0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:16.200
<v Speaker 2>into Koula and the pass was broken up, when you've

0:20:16.240 --> 0:20:18.480
<v Speaker 2>got a berth to the Super Bowl on the line,

0:20:18.520 --> 0:20:21.399
<v Speaker 2>I would be very surprised if there was not a

0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:25.240
<v Speaker 2>little bit of an adjustment coming from McDonald, considering the

0:20:25.280 --> 0:20:29.479
<v Speaker 2>drastic difference in Nikoua's production when Devin was on him

0:20:29.600 --> 0:20:33.919
<v Speaker 2>versus when he wasn't. The number three rush defense raking

0:20:34.160 --> 0:20:36.840
<v Speaker 2>is as advertised, and good thing about the Rams in

0:20:36.880 --> 0:20:39.840
<v Speaker 2>that game is they did not abandon the run. They

0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:44.040
<v Speaker 2>had fifty three dropbacks for Stafford four hundred and fifty

0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:45.840
<v Speaker 2>seven yards, as we mentioned, but they still ran a

0:20:45.960 --> 0:20:49.560
<v Speaker 2>thirty nine times. It just was not efficient. Credit McVeigh

0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:52.080
<v Speaker 2>for trying to keep it balanced. Three point two per

0:20:52.119 --> 0:20:56.680
<v Speaker 2>carry overall, Kyron Williams three per carry on twenty three

0:20:56.960 --> 0:21:00.199
<v Speaker 2>for seventy yards along of eight Blake Korum fourteen for

0:21:00.200 --> 0:21:03.760
<v Speaker 2>forty eight at three point four with a long of nine.

0:21:03.800 --> 0:21:05.480
<v Speaker 2>I would assume they're gonna have to get that to

0:21:05.480 --> 0:21:07.520
<v Speaker 2>pick up if they're gonna win that game on Sunday.

0:21:07.520 --> 0:21:13.040
<v Speaker 2>But really, going through those two games, it feels like

0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:15.960
<v Speaker 2>this is less about the rams and what they need

0:21:16.000 --> 0:21:16.359
<v Speaker 2>to do.

0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:19.160
<v Speaker 1>Did you grind that tape, Matt? Is that I was able.

0:21:19.359 --> 0:21:22.199
<v Speaker 2>I was able to grind the tape, pe and you

0:21:22.240 --> 0:21:25.240
<v Speaker 2>don't need to grind the tape because we mentioned this

0:21:25.320 --> 0:21:30.040
<v Speaker 2>in NaNs on Wednesday. What you see is there's one

0:21:30.400 --> 0:21:33.200
<v Speaker 2>X factor in both of these games, and it's Sam

0:21:33.280 --> 0:21:37.720
<v Speaker 2>Darnold throwing picks. He threw two touchdowns and six interceptions

0:21:37.720 --> 0:21:41.080
<v Speaker 2>in the two games they won. One of those dominated

0:21:41.080 --> 0:21:43.640
<v Speaker 2>the box score, in the other they lost twenty one

0:21:43.720 --> 0:21:47.440
<v Speaker 2>to nineteen. In a game he threw four interceptions and

0:21:47.840 --> 0:21:53.040
<v Speaker 2>zero four interceptions, zero touchdowns. They gave the Rams a

0:21:53.080 --> 0:21:57.000
<v Speaker 2>first in goal from the three, a turnover at their

0:21:57.040 --> 0:22:00.240
<v Speaker 2>own twenty five the Seattle twenty five. Both resulted in

0:22:00.320 --> 0:22:03.000
<v Speaker 2>two of the Rams three touchdowns that day. The rest

0:22:03.080 --> 0:22:06.320
<v Speaker 2>of their drives turnover on downs. They had a ten

0:22:06.359 --> 0:22:10.840
<v Speaker 2>play touchdown drive one two four to three and outs,

0:22:11.359 --> 0:22:16.000
<v Speaker 2>a fumble, and a four play, five play and five

0:22:16.040 --> 0:22:19.360
<v Speaker 2>play punt. The interceptions is what gave them that. With

0:22:19.440 --> 0:22:22.720
<v Speaker 2>four interceptions and the Seahawks got the ball with a

0:22:22.760 --> 0:22:25.600
<v Speaker 2>minute forty one left at their own one yard line,

0:22:25.800 --> 0:22:28.320
<v Speaker 2>Donald was able to drive them to the Rams forty

0:22:28.400 --> 0:22:34.240
<v Speaker 2>three and Myers who was there? Jason Myers, their field

0:22:34.240 --> 0:22:38.360
<v Speaker 2>goal kicker career long of sixty one, attempted a sixty

0:22:38.359 --> 0:22:41.920
<v Speaker 2>one yarder, so winnable game, but ended up missing the

0:22:42.040 --> 0:22:44.960
<v Speaker 2>kick as time expired. Again. That is a four interception

0:22:45.040 --> 0:22:47.560
<v Speaker 2>game from Sam Darnold, But that Seattle defense was so

0:22:47.760 --> 0:22:51.360
<v Speaker 2>good dominated time of possession thirty eight to twenty two,

0:22:51.640 --> 0:22:54.720
<v Speaker 2>first downs twenty six to twelve yards four to fourteen

0:22:54.800 --> 0:22:58.240
<v Speaker 2>to two forty nine, but the four interceptions the difference.

0:22:58.480 --> 0:23:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Donald had fourteen picks this year, six of them over

0:23:03.080 --> 0:23:09.560
<v Speaker 2>forty percent were against this. Chris Shula led Rams defense,

0:23:09.600 --> 0:23:14.000
<v Speaker 2>so stop the run forced Donald to throw create those

0:23:14.040 --> 0:23:16.760
<v Speaker 2>turnovers that he has been so apt to offer up

0:23:17.880 --> 0:23:21.320
<v Speaker 2>this season. And there's a lot of scar tissue there

0:23:21.440 --> 0:23:23.840
<v Speaker 2>that you can pounce on. Not just these two games this.

0:23:23.840 --> 0:23:25.560
<v Speaker 1>Year, but right now, you wish that I saw it.

0:23:27.040 --> 0:23:28.280
<v Speaker 2>I wish that you'd seen it.

0:23:28.720 --> 0:23:31.760
<v Speaker 1>You wish that I saw scar tissue that you wish.

0:23:31.640 --> 0:23:34.399
<v Speaker 2>That I issued that I wish you saw, mister, know

0:23:34.480 --> 0:23:39.040
<v Speaker 2>it all not just these two games be but that's

0:23:39.040 --> 0:23:41.560
<v Speaker 2>scar tissue that I wish you saw. It goes back

0:23:41.560 --> 0:23:45.320
<v Speaker 2>to last year's wild card. Remember Sam Donald took a

0:23:45.400 --> 0:23:48.879
<v Speaker 2>fourteen win Minnesota team into Los Angeles in the Wildcard

0:23:48.960 --> 0:23:54.560
<v Speaker 2>round and promptly took nine sacks through an interception lost

0:23:54.560 --> 0:23:59.359
<v Speaker 2>to fumble, and the Vikings were hammered twenty seven to nine.

0:24:00.080 --> 0:24:03.320
<v Speaker 2>After that fourteen win season, they win that game and

0:24:03.520 --> 0:24:06.160
<v Speaker 2>maybe another, and it's likely Darnald is back in Minnesota

0:24:06.160 --> 0:24:10.200
<v Speaker 2>this year for the Vikings. Instead, he had that wildcard game,

0:24:10.800 --> 0:24:14.360
<v Speaker 2>the high stakes game the week prior against the Lions

0:24:14.600 --> 0:24:16.680
<v Speaker 2>that determined who won the division and was the number

0:24:16.720 --> 0:24:18.720
<v Speaker 2>one seed and who went to the wildcard round. He

0:24:18.760 --> 0:24:22.280
<v Speaker 2>played awful football as well, and that is why they

0:24:22.359 --> 0:24:24.760
<v Speaker 2>became the wildcard and that is probably why he is

0:24:24.800 --> 0:24:27.400
<v Speaker 2>in Seattle. He has had a Pro Bowl caliber season,

0:24:28.320 --> 0:24:33.960
<v Speaker 2>but again, interceptions are still lurking on the Sam Donald resume,

0:24:34.040 --> 0:24:36.679
<v Speaker 2>the oblique injury that he is nursing. Did not have

0:24:36.720 --> 0:24:40.000
<v Speaker 2>to do a lot last week, just seventeen dropbacks, twelve completions,

0:24:40.000 --> 0:24:41.879
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and twenty four yards and a touchdown, but

0:24:41.920 --> 0:24:45.400
<v Speaker 2>the team still scored forty one points. Kenneth Walker rushed

0:24:45.440 --> 0:24:48.720
<v Speaker 2>for three touchdowns. They got a kick return touchdown from

0:24:48.800 --> 0:24:52.879
<v Speaker 2>Rashid Shaheed to open up the game. The Rams in

0:24:52.920 --> 0:24:55.920
<v Speaker 2>that last game in Week sixteen that decided and this

0:24:55.960 --> 0:24:58.040
<v Speaker 2>is probably a big thing for Sam Darnald, you know,

0:24:58.080 --> 0:25:00.920
<v Speaker 2>considering he lost that game that decided the division last

0:25:01.000 --> 0:25:02.680
<v Speaker 2>year and had to go on the road as a

0:25:02.680 --> 0:25:04.880
<v Speaker 2>wild card team. He ends up winning it this year,

0:25:04.960 --> 0:25:08.280
<v Speaker 2>a game the Rams had a ninety nine percent win probability,

0:25:08.359 --> 0:25:11.120
<v Speaker 2>up sixteen points with minutes left to play, and yet

0:25:11.160 --> 0:25:13.080
<v Speaker 2>somehow Sam Darnold got the victory.

0:25:13.600 --> 0:25:17.080
<v Speaker 1>Wow, how's that even possible?

0:25:17.200 --> 0:25:17.480
<v Speaker 2>Matt.

0:25:17.960 --> 0:25:20.200
<v Speaker 1>It's almost like that number didn't mean anything at the.

0:25:20.200 --> 0:25:23.439
<v Speaker 2>End of the you know, it means everything until it doesn't.

0:25:24.520 --> 0:25:27.040
<v Speaker 2>The Rams got a few demons of their own to exercise.

0:25:27.080 --> 0:25:28.760
<v Speaker 1>They have nothing to blow it at the end of

0:25:28.800 --> 0:25:31.439
<v Speaker 1>the game because mcveigh's too cute with his play calling.

0:25:31.480 --> 0:25:34.240
<v Speaker 2>Ways have you been grinding tape two? Haven't you?

0:25:34.240 --> 0:25:36.680
<v Speaker 1>No? I just know a flip play on the goal line.

0:25:36.880 --> 0:25:38.600
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't work, looks really bad.

0:25:39.320 --> 0:25:41.679
<v Speaker 2>They have not been sharp in the first two rounds,

0:25:41.680 --> 0:25:45.760
<v Speaker 2>but they have managed to buckle down when they needed to.

0:25:45.840 --> 0:25:49.240
<v Speaker 2>The interception to save the game in overtime in Chicago

0:25:49.359 --> 0:25:52.919
<v Speaker 2>last week, a game winning drive after falling behind in

0:25:52.960 --> 0:25:56.120
<v Speaker 2>Carolina with two minutes to go. That probably is not

0:25:56.200 --> 0:25:59.119
<v Speaker 2>going to work against a team as good as Seattle

0:25:59.359 --> 0:26:02.840
<v Speaker 2>with this defense, the best unit left in these playoffs,

0:26:02.880 --> 0:26:07.600
<v Speaker 2>better perhaps slightly than the Rams offense. It'll be a

0:26:07.640 --> 0:26:10.280
<v Speaker 2>hell of a showdown. It's the best offense left in

0:26:10.400 --> 0:26:13.320
<v Speaker 2>the postseason against the best defense left in the postseason.

0:26:13.440 --> 0:26:17.800
<v Speaker 2>Rams oh versus Seattle du and speaking of that Seattle D.

0:26:18.359 --> 0:26:21.120
<v Speaker 2>I will take the points and bank on the Rams

0:26:21.160 --> 0:26:24.680
<v Speaker 2>getting to Darnold again and playing in Super Bowl sixty

0:26:24.720 --> 0:26:29.960
<v Speaker 2>as heavy favorites over the Patriots or the Bronco.

0:26:29.760 --> 0:26:32.440
<v Speaker 1>I just hope nobody falls off the stage while Stafford's

0:26:32.480 --> 0:26:36.320
<v Speaker 1>accepting his praise from all ten thousands in town.

0:26:36.800 --> 0:26:39.359
<v Speaker 2>Now listen, if someone does, Stafford is going to go.

0:26:39.480 --> 0:26:42.399
<v Speaker 2>Matthew Stafford is going to go help them, but his

0:26:42.480 --> 0:26:46.440
<v Speaker 2>wife is going to tell him not to leave it. Matthew,

0:26:47.200 --> 0:26:50.520
<v Speaker 2>leave it. We need you over here. But there's a

0:26:50.560 --> 0:26:51.520
<v Speaker 2>maiden in distress.

0:26:51.840 --> 0:26:54.440
<v Speaker 1>That's not what happened with matt Stafford, he said. I said,

0:26:54.440 --> 0:26:57.199
<v Speaker 1>to believe it. He walked away. I said, leave it.

0:26:57.760 --> 0:26:58.840
<v Speaker 1>White History.

0:27:00.440 --> 0:27:03.120
<v Speaker 2>Quickly to the game that we will have here kick

0:27:03.160 --> 0:27:08.600
<v Speaker 2>off at noon on Sunday, Patriots versus Broncos. Sadly, bo

0:27:08.720 --> 0:27:11.760
<v Speaker 2>Nick's broke an ankle on the penultimate play in the

0:27:11.920 --> 0:27:14.919
<v Speaker 2>victory over the Bills, so it will be Jarrett Stidham

0:27:15.359 --> 0:27:19.359
<v Speaker 2>that will be at quarterback. I saw what it looks

0:27:19.400 --> 0:27:22.040
<v Speaker 2>like against the Patriots when you have a dominant defense

0:27:22.080 --> 0:27:25.400
<v Speaker 2>but no offense, and the Broncos defense is as good

0:27:25.440 --> 0:27:28.280
<v Speaker 2>as the Seahawks, darn near close to it, it doesn't work.

0:27:28.320 --> 0:27:31.199
<v Speaker 2>The Chargers defense was lights out against Drake May. They

0:27:31.240 --> 0:27:35.399
<v Speaker 2>allowed just sixteen points. They forced an interception, they forced

0:27:35.400 --> 0:27:38.240
<v Speaker 2>a lost fumble, and they could not do a damn

0:27:38.280 --> 0:27:40.679
<v Speaker 2>thing with it because their offense was not able to

0:27:40.720 --> 0:27:43.960
<v Speaker 2>execute against this. Mike Rabel coach Patriots de Texans were

0:27:44.000 --> 0:27:46.639
<v Speaker 2>the same. Houston's up ten to seven in the second quarter.

0:27:46.680 --> 0:27:49.680
<v Speaker 2>They force a fumble by Drake May and C. J.

0:27:50.080 --> 0:27:54.000
<v Speaker 2>Stroud throws three interceptions in four possessions. You blink and

0:27:54.080 --> 0:27:57.000
<v Speaker 2>they are down twenty one to ten. So I will

0:27:57.000 --> 0:28:01.520
<v Speaker 2>go Patriots to get the win. Quite a Patriots team

0:28:01.520 --> 0:28:05.439
<v Speaker 2>that was four and thirteen last year is going to

0:28:05.480 --> 0:28:10.480
<v Speaker 2>be in Super Bowl sixty in two weeks, perhaps taking

0:28:10.560 --> 0:28:12.640
<v Speaker 2>on the Rams a rematch of the Jyrup.

0:28:13.119 --> 0:28:17.520
<v Speaker 1>It's just it's a foregone conclusion to you, Matt Well,

0:28:17.560 --> 0:28:19.760
<v Speaker 1>I said I gotta be in a Super Bowl. I mean,

0:28:19.800 --> 0:28:22.040
<v Speaker 1>we had the game on the station. You telling people

0:28:22.040 --> 0:28:24.359
<v Speaker 1>not to listen. You're telling us what's gonna happen. Tony

0:28:24.480 --> 0:28:27.359
<v Speaker 1>Romo telling us what's gonna happen. People don't want to know.

0:28:27.840 --> 0:28:29.800
<v Speaker 2>I could say I think this is what's gonna happen.

0:28:29.800 --> 0:28:31.480
<v Speaker 2>But if I just say it's gonna happen, then people

0:28:31.520 --> 0:28:40.640
<v Speaker 2>know that's what I think. Broncos, Sorry, would I like

0:28:40.680 --> 0:28:43.200
<v Speaker 2>it to be Seahawks? Broncos? Sure, Let's see if we

0:28:43.240 --> 0:28:47.080
<v Speaker 2>can get our first ever zero touchdown super Bowl. You know,

0:28:47.120 --> 0:28:49.320
<v Speaker 2>a nice three to two or six to three win

0:28:49.440 --> 0:28:53.160
<v Speaker 2>would be something, But I don't envision that happening. I

0:28:53.160 --> 0:28:56.920
<v Speaker 2>think it'll end up being Rams Patriots in Super Bowl sixty,

0:28:57.400 --> 0:28:59.280
<v Speaker 2>which I still believe you will be able to be.

0:28:59.560 --> 0:29:02.840
<v Speaker 2>You will be able to hear here Sunday, February eighth,

0:29:02.880 --> 0:29:06.400
<v Speaker 2>the national broadcast of the Super Bowl, even if the

0:29:06.520 --> 0:29:07.720
<v Speaker 2>Rams are in it.

0:29:07.960 --> 0:29:08.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:29:09.680 --> 0:29:12.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't either, but I would assume you wait, super Bowl.

0:29:13.440 --> 0:29:17.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm checking with the judges, and the judges say yes

0:29:17.720 --> 0:29:22.240
<v Speaker 1>the Rams. Yes, national broadcast would play here.

0:29:22.600 --> 0:29:24.840
<v Speaker 2>We just have to play the visit Rwanda feed.

0:29:25.040 --> 0:29:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh it's my favorite feed. We'll be back with more

0:29:28.040 --> 0:29:31.280
<v Speaker 1>petros and money, and they'll turn the machetes from each

0:29:31.280 --> 0:29:37.720
<v Speaker 1>other to the coffee beans. We'll have Harrison me this

0:29:38.720 --> 0:29:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Rams kicking sensation will join us next. Yes, the thicker

0:29:43.120 --> 0:29:46.840
<v Speaker 1>kicker with two c's in thick, because that's how the

0:29:46.920 --> 0:29:49.280
<v Speaker 1>kids like to spell it. Because if you like them

0:29:49.320 --> 0:29:56.400
<v Speaker 1>thick with about that, well, I wouldn't say that. Southern

<v Speaker 1>Oh We're very thrilled to have you, and it's been

0:31:29.600 --> 0:31:34.200
<v Speaker 1>fun watching you and your story is a great story. Obviously,

0:31:34.360 --> 0:31:37.080
<v Speaker 1>whenever the NFL playoffs get this late, a lot of

0:31:37.120 --> 0:31:41.600
<v Speaker 1>stories start to emerge and and a great character is revealed.

0:31:42.080 --> 0:31:43.720
<v Speaker 1>Just tell us a little bit about what the year

0:31:43.800 --> 0:31:46.680
<v Speaker 1>has been like for you and what a whirlwind it's been.

0:31:47.280 --> 0:31:51.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, it's been different for sure, just starting you know,

0:31:51.400 --> 0:31:53.920
<v Speaker 5>obviously I didn't started off the year off that the

0:31:54.280 --> 0:31:57.560
<v Speaker 5>UFL with the Birmingham Stallions the spring did really well,

0:31:58.040 --> 0:32:01.880
<v Speaker 5>then signed with the Jets with them through preseason in

0:32:02.120 --> 0:32:06.080
<v Speaker 5>few two weeks and then and now I'm here halfway

0:32:06.080 --> 0:32:08.880
<v Speaker 5>through the year and Rams kicked me up and man,

0:32:08.960 --> 0:32:11.240
<v Speaker 5>I mean exactly where I feel like I should be

0:32:11.280 --> 0:32:13.240
<v Speaker 5>and I'm helping the same win. So it's been it's

0:32:13.280 --> 0:32:13.800
<v Speaker 5>been a lot.

0:32:13.640 --> 0:32:16.880
<v Speaker 2>Of fun, Harrison. They pick you up in November. For

0:32:16.880 --> 0:32:18.120
<v Speaker 2>for people that don't know, it's one thing to be

0:32:18.160 --> 0:32:20.320
<v Speaker 2>in a practice squad or whatever, like what are you doing?

0:32:21.000 --> 0:32:23.880
<v Speaker 2>Uh until the Rams make that call and you land

0:32:23.920 --> 0:32:25.800
<v Speaker 2>on their practice squad and then a couple days later

0:32:25.960 --> 0:32:29.920
<v Speaker 2>or kicking in a big win over the forty nine ers.

0:32:30.200 --> 0:32:33.280
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, no, just staying ready for the moment, and

0:32:33.360 --> 0:32:35.560
<v Speaker 5>even when, like even at the Jets, you know, I

0:32:35.600 --> 0:32:38.760
<v Speaker 5>was preparing to play like I was playing on that Sunday.

0:32:38.800 --> 0:32:41.440
<v Speaker 5>So it's just preparing, continuing to do the same routine,

0:32:41.600 --> 0:32:45.080
<v Speaker 5>kicking three days a week, and just getting that mindset

0:32:45.120 --> 0:32:46.760
<v Speaker 5>ready to play, play a game and help a team

0:32:46.800 --> 0:32:47.920
<v Speaker 5>win whatever that may be.

0:32:48.800 --> 0:32:51.080
<v Speaker 2>Is it hard when you're waiting for that call and

0:32:51.120 --> 0:32:53.840
<v Speaker 2>it's already November, because you know, we always hear it's

0:32:53.840 --> 0:32:56.959
<v Speaker 2>a very mental game, a mental position. I should say, Uh,

0:32:57.120 --> 0:32:59.080
<v Speaker 2>how do you keep yourself ready? What is it that

0:32:59.120 --> 0:33:01.160
<v Speaker 2>you're you're keeping an eye? Are you watching football? You're

0:33:01.160 --> 0:33:03.719
<v Speaker 2>watching red zone every week? Are you following box scores?

0:33:03.760 --> 0:33:05.360
<v Speaker 2>Like what are you doing to kind of keep tabs

0:33:05.360 --> 0:33:06.520
<v Speaker 2>on who might be calling you?

0:33:06.960 --> 0:33:07.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:33:07.320 --> 0:33:10.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I'm watching. I watch a lot of football. I

0:33:10.520 --> 0:33:13.160
<v Speaker 5>just was constantly watching games on Sunday, Monday, you know,

0:33:13.240 --> 0:33:16.120
<v Speaker 5>in those Thursday night games. So it just just watching

0:33:16.120 --> 0:33:19.160
<v Speaker 5>a lot of football, staying already, keep taking it one

0:33:19.240 --> 0:33:21.400
<v Speaker 5>day at a time because he's never known what's gonna happen,

0:33:21.400 --> 0:33:24.200
<v Speaker 5>and it only takes one opportunity, And you know, I

0:33:24.200 --> 0:33:26.000
<v Speaker 5>think that's that's kind of where I jumped at it.

0:33:26.040 --> 0:33:29.400
<v Speaker 1>So football players do move around a little bit. Kickers

0:33:29.440 --> 0:33:33.840
<v Speaker 1>move around more than most football players, and kicking is

0:33:33.960 --> 0:33:36.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of the same everywhere, I would imagine, but the

0:33:36.440 --> 0:33:40.360
<v Speaker 1>culture of a franchise is different. What do you notice

0:33:41.000 --> 0:33:44.320
<v Speaker 1>is different about the Rams from other places that you've been.

0:33:44.800 --> 0:33:47.120
<v Speaker 1>Why is Sean McVay such a successful guy?

0:33:48.360 --> 0:33:52.760
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, it's it's it's been a blast. Definitely different

0:33:52.800 --> 0:33:55.040
<v Speaker 5>from obviously a couple of different teams that I was on.

0:33:55.120 --> 0:33:58.720
<v Speaker 5>This team is very connected. It's very much so, a

0:33:58.840 --> 0:34:02.760
<v Speaker 5>very close brotherhood. Everyone's rooting on each other. We're i mean,

0:34:02.920 --> 0:34:04.760
<v Speaker 5>winning solves everything. We've won a lot of games, so

0:34:05.280 --> 0:34:07.320
<v Speaker 5>I think, uh, I think we're just it's just a

0:34:07.400 --> 0:34:10.680
<v Speaker 5>very tight knit group. And again, and give credit to Sean,

0:34:11.239 --> 0:34:14.120
<v Speaker 5>John Gun's done a fantastic job and it's unbelievable watch

0:34:14.120 --> 0:34:17.560
<v Speaker 5>of him work and miss coaching staff they're there. It's

0:34:17.560 --> 0:34:18.479
<v Speaker 5>a fantastic group.

0:34:19.440 --> 0:34:21.920
<v Speaker 2>You kicked in the preseason before, but kind of take

0:34:22.000 --> 0:34:24.000
<v Speaker 2>us through that. That first game, it's a it's a

0:34:24.040 --> 0:34:27.600
<v Speaker 2>division game. You're you're playing the most competitive division in

0:34:27.640 --> 0:34:29.839
<v Speaker 2>the NFL, and you go, I think forty nine ers

0:34:29.840 --> 0:34:31.840
<v Speaker 2>and then Seahawks was the next week. Just kind of

0:34:31.840 --> 0:34:33.960
<v Speaker 2>what was what was working through you? And and did

0:34:34.000 --> 0:34:36.080
<v Speaker 2>it help that it was all extra points that first game?

0:34:36.680 --> 0:34:39.879
<v Speaker 5>Well, you know, I think, uh yeah, I think you're

0:34:39.960 --> 0:34:42.360
<v Speaker 5>obviously I think it was good good to get in.

0:34:42.560 --> 0:34:42.680
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

0:34:43.040 --> 0:34:47.080
<v Speaker 5>NFC is obviously a tough conference this year. Every game matters,

0:34:47.080 --> 0:34:48.600
<v Speaker 5>and every game is going to be close. So every

0:34:48.680 --> 0:34:51.400
<v Speaker 5>kick matter is in a sense. So whether that's Pats

0:34:51.440 --> 0:34:53.759
<v Speaker 5>shield goals, my mindset's it's all the same. I mean

0:34:53.760 --> 0:34:56.439
<v Speaker 5>it's Pats are thirty three yards away, so I mean, yeah,

0:34:56.800 --> 0:34:59.080
<v Speaker 5>the same as most field Gles's about the average Feld goals.

0:34:59.080 --> 0:35:02.840
<v Speaker 5>That's uh, you can't take anything for granted, any tackets,

0:35:03.400 --> 0:35:05.719
<v Speaker 5>Like everythils the same, whether that's a Pat or a

0:35:05.960 --> 0:35:06.839
<v Speaker 5>six yard goo goal.

0:35:06.920 --> 0:35:09.560
<v Speaker 4>So that's the mindset, you.

0:35:09.520 --> 0:35:12.360
<v Speaker 1>Know, Harrison, Harrison me miss the Thicker Kicker. Of course,

0:35:12.440 --> 0:35:15.319
<v Speaker 1>everybody in LA is coming to know him. Joining us

0:35:15.360 --> 0:35:19.239
<v Speaker 1>right now on the Petros and Money Show. The Rams

0:35:19.280 --> 0:35:23.359
<v Speaker 1>in the playoffs, very exciting against the Seahawks, It's going

0:35:23.400 --> 0:35:25.920
<v Speaker 1>to pop off. It's gonna be a wild game. It's

0:35:25.960 --> 0:35:28.239
<v Speaker 1>going to come down to something crazy, and I bet

0:35:28.239 --> 0:35:30.840
<v Speaker 1>you the Thicker Kicker is going to be involved. And

0:35:30.920 --> 0:35:33.239
<v Speaker 1>Harrison is ready for the moment. But it is a

0:35:33.239 --> 0:35:36.560
<v Speaker 1>lonely life as a kicker harrison, not just a moving

0:35:36.600 --> 0:35:41.520
<v Speaker 1>from team to team, but also you know, the skill

0:35:41.600 --> 0:35:44.000
<v Speaker 1>guys can do their seven on seven and run around

0:35:44.360 --> 0:35:47.880
<v Speaker 1>in their underwear, and the offensive and defensive line guys

0:35:47.960 --> 0:35:51.719
<v Speaker 1>can go work on the different machines and stuff like that.

0:35:52.239 --> 0:35:55.640
<v Speaker 1>But do you have a kicker buddy when you're preparing

0:35:55.719 --> 0:35:59.040
<v Speaker 1>in the off season and in different places or you

0:35:59.040 --> 0:36:01.440
<v Speaker 1>always all alone? You know?

0:36:01.680 --> 0:36:05.000
<v Speaker 5>When I obviously I was now with the Jads, I was,

0:36:05.280 --> 0:36:07.120
<v Speaker 5>I went back to Colombia, Missouri, That's where I'm at,

0:36:07.160 --> 0:36:10.440
<v Speaker 5>and I trained on my own. I trained with my

0:36:10.480 --> 0:36:13.960
<v Speaker 5>brother a little bit as well, he's kicking too. I

0:36:14.040 --> 0:36:16.360
<v Speaker 5>did a little bit of TrackMan work, so just getting

0:36:16.400 --> 0:36:18.759
<v Speaker 5>a ball, speed, ball height, line of the scrimmage and

0:36:18.760 --> 0:36:22.279
<v Speaker 5>all that sort of work. So yeah, no, just kind

0:36:22.280 --> 0:36:24.840
<v Speaker 5>of a lot on my own and just continuing to

0:36:24.880 --> 0:36:27.799
<v Speaker 5>train and dial in everything that I you know, set

0:36:27.800 --> 0:36:29.359
<v Speaker 5>goals for early in the year.

0:36:29.520 --> 0:36:32.440
<v Speaker 1>Do you listen to music when you're out there kicking

0:36:32.760 --> 0:36:35.919
<v Speaker 1>by yourself or do you just let nature take over

0:36:36.120 --> 0:36:39.280
<v Speaker 1>and the boom of your foot on the ball. What's

0:36:39.360 --> 0:36:40.080
<v Speaker 1>it like out there?

0:36:40.160 --> 0:36:40.359
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:36:40.440 --> 0:36:42.480
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, no, I have I have listened to music. I

0:36:42.520 --> 0:36:45.640
<v Speaker 5>got a jbl'll boom box, I take out their men occasion,

0:36:45.760 --> 0:36:48.239
<v Speaker 5>and you know you can put crowd noise, you can

0:36:48.239 --> 0:36:50.680
<v Speaker 5>put whatever you want music, country music, any any type

0:36:50.680 --> 0:36:51.320
<v Speaker 5>of any.

0:36:51.080 --> 0:36:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Of that sort country music.

0:36:52.800 --> 0:36:54.160
<v Speaker 4>Why not have fun? Yeah?

0:36:54.480 --> 0:36:57.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Harrison, let's get to the big one forty two

0:36:57.200 --> 0:37:00.880
<v Speaker 2>yards over time. How it's over time and now it's

0:37:00.920 --> 0:37:03.399
<v Speaker 2>sudden death. So I assume you're prepping yourself as soon

0:37:03.400 --> 0:37:07.200
<v Speaker 2>as that interception is secured. Kind of as we talked

0:37:07.239 --> 0:37:09.280
<v Speaker 2>about a second ago. You know, just the mental side

0:37:09.280 --> 0:37:11.880
<v Speaker 2>of the game. What are you doing to get prepared

0:37:11.960 --> 0:37:16.680
<v Speaker 2>for that kick in those conditions with that much at stake?

0:37:17.400 --> 0:37:21.040
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean I think you know, it comes back

0:37:21.080 --> 0:37:23.560
<v Speaker 5>to great players don't rise to the occasion. They fall

0:37:23.600 --> 0:37:26.680
<v Speaker 5>back on their training. As drink Witz would say, Yuzuri,

0:37:27.360 --> 0:37:30.840
<v Speaker 5>I've been getting ready for that moment since since I

0:37:30.880 --> 0:37:34.160
<v Speaker 5>started kicking, and it's all just about trusting your training

0:37:34.200 --> 0:37:36.800
<v Speaker 5>and trusting that muscle memory that I have. I wouldn't

0:37:36.840 --> 0:37:40.120
<v Speaker 5>say that it was that moment that we were in

0:37:40.680 --> 0:37:43.120
<v Speaker 5>sudden death when I was getting ready for that. I've

0:37:43.680 --> 0:37:45.719
<v Speaker 5>stayed ready and I've been ready for that moment, and

0:37:46.400 --> 0:37:48.000
<v Speaker 5>it's just another field goal, and it's just me and

0:37:48.040 --> 0:37:49.319
<v Speaker 5>the ball, so I just gotta put the ball through

0:37:49.320 --> 0:37:51.440
<v Speaker 5>the up right. So that's that's kind of where I

0:37:51.480 --> 0:37:51.759
<v Speaker 5>was at.

0:37:51.960 --> 0:37:56.319
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of your coach, one of our guys here interviewed him,

0:37:57.400 --> 0:38:01.560
<v Speaker 1>coach drank Witz, for a game on the radio National Radio,

0:38:01.640 --> 0:38:03.840
<v Speaker 1>and at the end of the interview he said, you

0:38:03.880 --> 0:38:06.600
<v Speaker 1>know m I Z. And we didn't know that you're

0:38:06.600 --> 0:38:09.919
<v Speaker 1>supposed to say, you know my you know zo. Yeah,

0:38:09.960 --> 0:38:12.719
<v Speaker 1>we didn't know that. Is that like a thing or

0:38:12.800 --> 0:38:15.200
<v Speaker 1>is that something you guys started doing like we had?

0:38:15.480 --> 0:38:17.279
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I've been to Columbia, but I was not

0:38:17.400 --> 0:38:19.360
<v Speaker 1>aware that that is that that's how we communicate.

0:38:19.760 --> 0:38:20.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, No, I.

0:38:20.440 --> 0:38:23.200
<v Speaker 5>Mean that's uh, that's our that's like our thing. That's

0:38:23.200 --> 0:38:25.480
<v Speaker 5>like the school's uh schools little thing that we do.

0:38:26.200 --> 0:38:27.759
<v Speaker 5>I think a lot of schools do stuff like that.

0:38:27.800 --> 0:38:28.680
<v Speaker 5>But that's what we've done.

0:38:28.800 --> 0:38:31.000
<v Speaker 1>All right, Well, you know we we we ended up

0:38:31.040 --> 0:38:35.279
<v Speaker 1>looking pretty stupid in front of drink with very unfortunate bro.

0:38:35.400 --> 0:38:36.320
<v Speaker 5>Oh that's funny.

0:38:36.760 --> 0:38:39.320
<v Speaker 2>How often did last one for you? Harrison? How often

0:38:39.360 --> 0:38:41.200
<v Speaker 2>do you throw an M I Z out there? How

0:38:41.200 --> 0:38:43.440
<v Speaker 2>often does that happen in your daily life these days?

0:38:43.440 --> 0:38:43.760
<v Speaker 4>Oh?

0:38:43.800 --> 0:38:46.520
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, I saw out occasionally whenever I see fans,

0:38:46.640 --> 0:38:49.120
<v Speaker 5>it was like, you know, everyone's there's Tiger fans all over.

0:38:49.239 --> 0:38:52.960
<v Speaker 5>So occasionally you'll get at a game, you'll get obviously,

0:38:53.000 --> 0:38:54.600
<v Speaker 5>when I'm back in Columbia, you'll have to throw it

0:38:54.640 --> 0:38:55.640
<v Speaker 5>out there, so I.

0:38:55.640 --> 0:38:56.279
<v Speaker 4>Do it quite a bit.

0:38:56.719 --> 0:39:01.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Tiger's never sleep. Love it all right, great Harrison mevs.

0:39:01.960 --> 0:39:04.080
<v Speaker 1>We wish you lucky young man. It's been great to

0:39:04.080 --> 0:39:06.560
<v Speaker 1>see your rise and your success and may you kick

0:39:06.640 --> 0:39:10.120
