Speaker 1: torn Achilles, the consequences of that injury for the Rams

00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: hopes in the season ahead. We'll also get to Marco

Speaker 1: Far's reaction to Isaac Bruce's comments about the best and

11
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: sever duo in NFL history, and of course, a full

12
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 1: training camp preview as the team is set to report

13
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,919
Speaker 1: to you see Irvine. Let's introduce our panel for this

14
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: episode Between the Horns, and we'll start with our Super

15
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: Bowl champion and current analyst to Marco Farr, who has

16
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: traded in fat heads of himself in a uniform in

17
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: his glory days for site words as he teaches his

18
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: daughter to read DeMarco, great to see you. I like

19
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: how you panted that picture. In reality, I got pushed

20
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: to this room. Yeah, I'm outnumbered in my household. So

21
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: this is where I'm in my daughter's room, so yeah,

22
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: this is the only quiet place right now. Not playing defense.

23
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: He's not playing defense anymore. Yeah, Jabe's the offensive got there,

24
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: So we're expanding our vocabulary. This is really cool, moving

25
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: into as great. We're also glad to have ESPN's Lindsay Theory.

26
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: She covers the Rams and Lindsay the honeymoon is now

27
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: officially over. I hope. Yeah, honeymoon's over. Time to get

28
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: back to work and I'm excited, which should be a

29
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 1: really exciting season. All right, last on our Around the Horn,

30
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: but first in our Hearts Team Reporter Serena Morales, good

31
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: to see you as well this morning. Take it away.

32
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: It's good to see all of you. And yes, as

33
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: you mentioned, JB. Unfortunately we have to start today's show

34
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: on some more disappointing news, as the Rams confirmed Tuesday

35
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: that second year running back Can Makers suffered a torn

36
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: achilles and, according to multiple reports, the injury was to

37
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: stay while training now, cam Akers was expected to carry

38
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: much of the load for the Rams run game this

39
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: coming season, as Sean McVeigh has described him as an

40
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: every down back demark, I'm going to start with you

41
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: as a former player. When you hear turn achilles, what

42
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: goes through you? Well, the year, the year's gone for

43
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: Cam or whoever. When you hear Achilles, that's that's it

44
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: for him. So you feel bad. It's an injury you

45
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: can come back from. It's tough. The rehab is going

46
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: to be hard, and I hope for Cam's sake that

47
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: you know during this rehab process when he does get

48
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: back on the field, you don't lose that specialness, which

49
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: is entirely possible, but I mean, yeah, you first you

50
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: feel for the guy. It's bad news. It rocks your world.

51
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: And then you want to hear how it happened. What

52
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: were you doing? How did you tear that Achilles? Because

53
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: think about it, Cam Newton outside of the center and

54
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford, who was going to touch, possessed the ball

55
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: longer than Cam Newton on this football team. You know

56
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: he was set to roll and the way he finished

57
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: the year, how he was setting up his blocks. I

58
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: was telling JB this last year. He can make a

59
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: bad block good. He can make a good block great,

60
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: and a great block into something special. You can go

61
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: straight from midfield into the red zone. With the way

62
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: he was carrying the football. So it's just a shame

63
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: for him. It's unfortunate, but I guess if there was

64
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: a silver lining, it happened early. Now, if you're Sean

65
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: mcvaanh the offense, you have a chance to adjust and

66
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: you know, retool, rethink a few things. But it's just

67
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: it's a shame. I thought he was set for a

68
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: breakout year and we'll just have to wait for another

69
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: year to see where we get out him. Yeah. Cam

70
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: Makers finished his rookie year as the Rams leading rusher

71
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: after registering a team best one hundred forty five carries

72
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: for six hundred and twenty five yards two rushing touchdowns. Oh,

73
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: let's not forget the eleven receptions for one hundred and

74
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: twenty three yards in one touchdown in the passing game.

75
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: These numbers certainly pop to us sitting up in the

76
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: press box, lindsay with Cam now sideline, how does the

77
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: backfield look for the Rams heading into training camp and

78
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty one season. Yeah, the good news is

79
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: you still have Darryl Henderson. Let's I'll forget the Rams

80
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: picked him in the third round in twenty nineteen. Time flies,

81
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a guy who obviously can step into

82
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: that starting role, into a really nice job. I think

83
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: the concern comes who's after Daryl Henderson, Xavier Jones, Ray Kulai,

84
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: Jake funk Otis Anderson. I think RAMS fans are gonna

85
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 1: become very familiar with those names throughout training camp because

86
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: obviously Sean mcbaby is going to throw them in the

87
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: fire and see if any of them can make it.

88
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,239
Speaker 1: I don't think you're concerned about Darryl kind of stepping

89
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: right in, But when you're looking at this scheme and

90
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: you're looking at some undrafted free agents and maybe some

91
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: seventh round picks, that's a tough role to step into,

92
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: even as a backup. You know, and I know a

93
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: lot of people have been saying, well, it's a plug

94
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: and play role. Look, they signed CJ. Anderson a few

95
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: years ago and just plugged him in. It's like, well,

96
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: c J. Anderson did have a lot of NFL experience.

97
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: He knew how to block, he knew how to do

98
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: a few things. Whereas if you're a guy who has

99
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: no experience and all, that's a little bit tougher. So

100
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a huge training camp for

101
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: those guys. I know Sean mcbabe other day did not

102
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: rule out the possibility of bringing in a veteran running back,

103
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: and I will be surprised by the end of training

104
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: campus the Rams haven't signed someone who's just a veteran

105
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: presence who they know they can depend on, especially a

106
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: lot of those pass protection situations. For sure. C. J.

107
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: Anderson super Bowl winner, also very rested when he came

108
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: in midway during this season, lindsay, to here a point,

109
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: I also just wanted to bring up, you know, the

110
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: loss of one running back. I ended up focusing more

111
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,359
Speaker 1: on some of the other players that are on offense

112
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: outside of the deep wide receiver group. But they picked

113
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: up a guy, Ben Scaroni, they call him Benny Scoe

114
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: is a rookie wide receiver. These six three two twenty

115
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: four pounds listed as a wide receiver, Jacob Paris, Lindsay JB. DeMarco.

116
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: I know you've all heard Sean McVay be very excited

117
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 1: about Jacob Paris tight end six five, two hundred and

118
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: eleven pounds. These guys are gonna matchup well against linebackers.

119
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: They're going to get through and their physical guys. You

120
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: add that to Tyler Higbee, I actually throw out, Okay,

121
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 1: maybe you lose someone like cam Akers, but you're picking

122
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: up these other physical players that can add to the

123
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: offense overall. JB, I'm going to toss it over to you.

124
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: You have any of their final thoughts on what this

125
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 1: injury means for the upcoming season. Well, of course, we

126
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: can do a whole podcast just on this one subject,

127
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: but I think you guys have summarized it pretty well,

128
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: so I'll just touch on a few other thoughts that

129
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: are on my mind. First of all, it's been a

130
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: tough summer for less Sneed and his loved ones, and

131
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure he would like to go the rest of

132
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: his life without ever hearing the word Achilles again, because

133
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: the summer began with his wife herd Achilles injury care.

134
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: We hope you're going very well, and now his top

135
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: tailback done to the season. You know, we've heard so

136
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: much about Thomas Brown, the Rams running back coach, being

137
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: a rising star in this profession. This is a major

138
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: opportunity for him, a major challenge. But if he and

139
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: that position group can overcome, I think he's destined for

140
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: even greater things, sooner rather than later. In his coaching career.

141
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: I think the trade for Matthew Stafford in retrospect looks

142
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: all the more critical and consequential now because his right

143
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: arm is going to have to be heavily iced after

144
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: every game this season, I would suspect, And he's also

145
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: going to have to protect himself to the best of

146
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: his abilities, because pass protection is going to be I

147
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: think a major concern at that running back position given

148
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: what they've lost. Of course, I'm heartbroken for Cam. I

149
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: was reflecting this morning, like, how would I feel if

150
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: you told me today that I just couldn't participate in

151
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: this season and I would be calling? And certainly Acres

152
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: had so much more to look forward to and on

153
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: the line than I do. But but in terms of

154
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: altering expectations for this season, I don't think it moves

155
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: to needle much for me. I think back to two

156
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: nineteen San Francisco and how the forty nine ers went

157
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl with Tevin Coleman, Raheem Mostert, Matt Breed,

158
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: Jeff Wilson as the backfield. That's a third round pick

159
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: and three college free agents. So you're not going to

160
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: get sympathy from any other opponent in the best division

161
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: in football nor across the National Football League. If there

162
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: is a silver lining to this injury, and it is devastating,

163
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: believe me, it's that Sean mczay and the front office

164
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: now had time to plan for it, to adjust accordingly,

165
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: and if necessary, to supplement through all available meets. I

166
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: like JB is always a good take, always stand on

167
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: the positive thrown. So thank you for that. Because now

168
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: I'm going to toss it over to DeMarco because before

169
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 1: we preview training camp from UC Irvine, I want to

170
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: bring this up since defar has what you would call

171
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: a personal stake in this debate. The Meted Hall of

172
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: Famer Isaac Bruce said that he and Torry Bolts are

173
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 1: the greatest wide receiver duo in NFL history, ahead of

174
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: Randy Moss and Chris Squire. And I'm going to think

175
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: a quote from an article that was from Brian Diardo

176
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: out of CBS Sports last week. It may seem like

177
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: a whole lot of arrogance to other people, bow but

178
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 1: numbers don't lie everything we put on the football field,

179
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: the film, it is what it is. You can always

180
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: go back and turn it on. And then when Brian

181
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: Yardo brought up the fact that the other duo, Chris

182
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: Carter and Mass, who played during the same era as

183
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: Bruce and Hall. Bruce responded, we won a super Bowl, DeMarco,

184
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: the floor is yours. Tell everyone why the greatest show

185
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 1: on turf the duo Bruce and Holt are the best. Well, first,

186
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: you got to be a bad man. Took your pants

187
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: with tape. That's a bad dude. And Bruce, but no,

188
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: I mean you see me my face when this came up.

189
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: I got serious because this is like one of your

190
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 1: best friends, you know, getting into a bar room brawl.

191
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: You just gotta jump in and start swinging. Um, have

192
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: you we've seen that movie Next Friday. It's the sequel

193
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,839
Speaker 1: to Friday. Yeah, I saw it, don't remember it. It

194
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 1: came out the Friday before we played in Minnesota in

195
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Carter and Moss and I swear I sat

196
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 1: through the whole movie and couldn't think because they were

197
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: absolutely terrifying on film. Moscow's one way, Carter goes the other.

198
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: You don't have enough guys to cover, and if you

199
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: throw in Jake Reid, who was their third receiver, it

200
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: was a nightmare, absolute nightmare. And their offensive line was good.

201
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: They were a good offensive football team. I think they

202
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: were record setting, so terrifying. Whole and Bruce equally is terrifying,

203
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: but a little more self less than selfish. They could

204
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: have demanded the ball like Chris, they could have put

205
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 1: up a stink. They could have been divas like Randy Moss. No,

206
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: they were selfless, and they played in a system that

207
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 1: was absolutely dynamic and unstoppable when everybody was selfless. So

208
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: they bought into that. And I would argue this anybody

209
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: that says I'm crazy or Isaac is crazy about saying

210
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: they were better. Let me put Marshall Falk in Minnesota.

211
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: Don't you think Moss's numbers and Carter's nubers are going

212
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: to drop? Especially their touchdowns, which is the reason everybody

213
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: separates them, is because Moss and Carter caught somebody dawn

214
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: touchdowns and Isaac didn't or wholes and brutes did not.

215
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,359
Speaker 1: Let me put markshell over there. With this rushing touchdowns

216
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 1: and his receptions, everybody's numbers will decrease. So it's funny, man.

217
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: As you get older, people lose perspective of the real story,

218
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: what really happened, and they only go by numbers. So

219
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: if you look down and see Moss and Carter have

220
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: more touchdown passes than holding Bruce, oh well they were better. Well,

221
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: I guess two were born in eighties. I guess you

222
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: didn't see what these two guys were doing. So if

223
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: I had a choice, it'll be hard to pick against

224
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: Randy Moss, get that. But the other three, Carter, Moss,

225
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: Carter Hole, and Bruce. I know which guys I'm picking first.

226
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: It's easy. They're the ones with the hardware, So I'll

227
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: just leave it with that. And look, this is so funny.

228
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: We're talking about the greatest duos, receiving duos and the

229
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: history of football, comparing the two and this is why

230
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: this is such a silly conversation. I bet John Taylor

231
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: and Jerry Rice are having a great time laughing about this.

232
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: They won three Super Bowls and they went back to back.

233
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: So before we start talking about the best duos, start

234
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: with them, and then let's work to these guys. That's

235
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 1: just respect to everybody. Serena. You reference that conversation with Brian.

236
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: It's available on the latest edition of Rambling can be

237
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: found on Spotify, Apple Podcasts. In the rams dot Com

238
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 1: about Isaac Bruce's comments any other takeaways from that conversation.

239
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: Isn't a Super Bowl win enough to put them over

240
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: the top? Yeah, you know, brand Yardo said said it

241
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: best records can be broken, but once you win a championship,

242
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: you can't take that away. To DeMarco's point, you know

243
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna look at even Jannis recent NBA champ said

244
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: it as well. You know these MVP uh you know,

245
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: winning seasons for him, it was not enough for him. Right,

246
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: Once you win a championship, it's signed, sealed, delivered, you

247
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: know you win that. So, um, I think that's something.

248
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: And they also, I mean, DeMarco, you know, is the

249
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: greatest show on turf? You name, it's a brand name.

250
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: I speak fluent with Isaac Bruce. So it's not what

251
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: he says, is what he's not saying. So the only guy,

252
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: now we went through Minnesota, we went through to get

253
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: to that Super Bowl to beat the Titans. The old

254
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: guy didn't say congratulations was Chris Carter. Honestly, he told

255
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: us every reason why they should have beat us. So

256
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: I know what Isaac is trying to say. I know

257
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: who he's pointing at. Interesting, Well, I found it curious

258
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: that the Hall of Fame wants all of these and

259
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: trinment speeches to be less than eight minutes. Now, so

260
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: good luck with everyone going this summer season. All right,

261
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: So now looking back, now, let's look forward to training

262
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: camp will be back at UC Irvine, excited to get down.

263
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: They're excited to see our fans after a season away.

264
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: More information on how to be a part of RAMS

265
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: training campers anybody unified Financial credit Union is coming up

266
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: in a few minutes. But Marco, let's go back to

267
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: you for what you are looking forward to most starting

268
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: next week. Well, this is funny seeing Matthew Stafford go live.

269
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: That was fun seeing Jared Goff over the years and

270
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: seeing just you know, your quarterbacks working out. It either

271
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: inspires or does the opposite. The time you got to

272
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: see the Dallas Cowboys workout and I got to see

273
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: Tony Romo live in practice, I was really impressed. So

274
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see a guy that I've really

275
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 1: admired from Afar in a RAMS uniform and I get

276
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: to see him every day. So watching Matthew Stafford go

277
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: is going to be something interesting. Watching this competition when

278
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: you get into seven on seven one on one's receiver

279
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: versus corners. I can't wait for Matthew Stafford and Jalen

280
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: Ramsey to be on the field at the same time.

281
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: When it's guaranteed he's thrown in that direction. That stuff

282
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: is going to be worth the price of admission. And

283
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: then of course I'll have my nose straight up in

284
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: the pits, you know, to see how Aaron looks, to

285
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: see how Sebastian Joseph Day looks, to see how they

286
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: look against that new look or retooled offensive line. That's

287
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: gonna tell everything. It doesn't matter what we talk about

288
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: with cam Akers, with the receivers, with Matthew Stafford. If

289
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: the old line isn't performing or the d line is

290
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: just absolutely murdering them, we've got issues. So first matt

291
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: through Stafford throwing the football looking for magic there, and

292
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: then I'll have my nose straight in the pits to

293
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: see what's really going on. All right, So from the

294
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: pits to Lindsay, lindsay, what are you looking forward to

295
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: seeing play out all the storylines going into training camp? Yeah,

296
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: I'm a little more macro focused the marketing. For me,

297
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: it's just the offense as a whole. And what I'm

298
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: killing me just a little bit is knowing that we're

299
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: probably going to see quite a bit of great stuff

300
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: on offense from the Rams during training camp. But I

301
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: think we all know it's really not till week one

302
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: till Sean McVay really runs that offense out and you see,

303
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: like the black goes on at practice when we're not

304
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: out there standing watching and seeing how all this gets designed.

305
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: So I can't wait to see. You know, they brought

306
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: in a couple of deep threats. You have to Sean Jackson,

307
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: you have to tow out well. I can't wait to

308
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: see what happens with those guys. This here to have

309
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: a true deep ball threat. I'm really eager to see.

310
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: I mean, again, we all know Woods, we all know

311
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup but how they perform with Matthew Stafford, so

312
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: how that dynamic really works out, I'm very eager to see. Defensively,

313
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: I'm really intrigued by Rahee Morris. I think he brings

314
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: a really, like I said, intriguing, intriguing energy to the defense,

315
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: and I'm really curious what kind of twists he's going

316
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: to put on. I know they're going to kind of

317
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: stick what Brandon Staley was doing, but you know, every

318
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: defensive corner wants to put his own twist on things,

319
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: So I think whatever he ends up doing, especially in

320
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: the secondary and then obviously in the ever lasting attempt

321
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: to get Aaron Donald one on one up front, I

322
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be really fun to watch. It's super

323
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: fun to watch, and just even during OTAs I mean

324
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: Rahey Morris. To your point, Lindsay has the personality, I

325
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: would say, the swag he robs Jordan's on the field,

326
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: so you know he's definitely fitting in with the players

327
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: and of course fans at training camp right, they're also

328
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: looking forward to seeing this offense and Matthew Stafford take

329
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: over the Reins this season. J B. I think the

330
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: big question, and you've mentioned it even years in past,

331
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: the uncertainty at center. How do you feel with protecting

332
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 1: staff Or this season and this whole line shaping up

333
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,160
Speaker 1: with a brand new coach, a brand new offensive line

334
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: coach Kevin Carberry. Yeah, to me, the theme going into

335
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: training camp with respect of the offensive line is the

336
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: same but different, Like the personnel is intact, but hardly

337
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 1: anything else is. Of course, the coaching change, yes, the

338
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,479
Speaker 1: alignment change, with Austin Corbett moving to center, Bobby Evans

339
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: getting a first crack at guard, the change at quarterback,

340
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: and now unfortunately the change at running back. So as

341
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: we have talked about with respect of this Rams offensive

342
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 1: line in many years previously, the cohesion is essential and

343
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 1: this is the time of year where they kind of

344
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 1: put all that choreography in place. But let's not assume

345
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: that their run schemes and protections are going to remain

346
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: static as they go through all this transformation. I think

347
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: it's a critical month for them, especially those joint sessions

348
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: with Dallas in Vegas where they can go live with

349
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: the ones, because their first snap the season comes against

350
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: Khalil mac and the Chicago Bears. Sall small things to consider,

351
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: And speaking of Khalil Mack and defense, is we obviously

352
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: need to look at our own defense and Demarcom going

353
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: to toss it back to you because we've got two

354
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: of the biggest stars in the league Aaron Donald Jalen

355
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: Ramsey along with Rahee Morris Lindsay mentioned earlier. So DeMarco

356
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,719
Speaker 1: for you. For veteran players, let's focus on them. How

357
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 1: does training camp change and what are you looking to

358
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: do or adjust, especially when you have a new defensive coordinator.

359
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: It doesn't. I don't think training camp for veterans change

360
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: changes at all because of Aaron Donald and how he works.

361
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: I mean, he is the pace setter. So when your

362
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: best player on the football team is also your hardest worker,

363
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,360
Speaker 1: and you're lucky to have him on defense as a coordinator,

364
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: whoever you are, because he is really setting to tell him,

365
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: all you have to do is line the pieces up

366
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: and get them going in the right direction. The motivation

367
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about. But someone asked me, like,

368
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: what kind of impact where he Morris is going to have?

369
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: And look, you guys know I love movies, I said,

370
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: think of Leonidas and how he talked to his guys

371
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,199
Speaker 1: right before they went to battle. That's the way he

372
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: motivates guys. It's not for us the people watching. And

373
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,239
Speaker 1: we've had coordinators that are for the people. They were

374
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 1: great at entertaining. But what he does is challenge his

375
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 1: guys and get in his face and make you make

376
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: work fun. That's the thing I told Sean McVeigh when

377
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: I saw him last You still got it. Your players

378
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: still think working is fun. And Raheim Morris is just

379
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: like that on the defensive side. So I think you

380
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 1: have a chance to take it up a match. Now,

381
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: some players have to develop, some guys have to really

382
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: come along, Like you still need that out, that other

383
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 1: outside pass rusher. We still have to figure out what

384
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: is your inside rotation and how does break Gains fit

385
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: into it. So there's still your linebacker, your middle linebackers

386
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 1: are are still I wouldn't say an issue, but still

387
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: there's some question marks there. There's gonna be some mix

388
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: and match going on, so there's gonna be a lot

389
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: a lot of moving parts, and you're missing John Johnson,

390
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 1: the third who kind of settled everything downs. So there's

391
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 1: a lot to do on defense. But the guys they

392
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: have you feel confident by September, they're gonna hit the

393
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: ground running, all right. Before we wrap this pre training

394
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 1: camp edition between the Horns, before we head to Violists,

395
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: take a final lap around this digital room for concluding

396
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: thoughts and lindsay theory that he is yours. Yeah, concluding thoughts.

397
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,239
Speaker 1: I'm just really eager to see the twenty twenty one

398
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: season unfold. I mean, this offseason seems like it has

399
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 1: lasted forever, given the huge move the Rams made two

400
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: weeks after the season ended when they went out and

401
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: got Matthew Stafford. So I know we've been talking about

402
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: it all summer, super Bowl or bust. We'll see if

403
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,479
Speaker 1: that comes to fruition. I mean, it seems like we've

404
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: been talking about Super Bowl er bus now every year

405
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 1: since twenty eighteen. But with the Super Bowl at Sofi Stadium,

406
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 1: I just can't wait to see what this team can

407
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: do to see if they can make it there in

408
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: February Arena. Would you have to go next? Yeah, you know,

409
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: I think DeMarco actually mentioned it. I'm fascinated to see

410
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: who's going to be the next defensive signal caller losing

411
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: John Johnson and what he was able to do and

412
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 1: his versatile versatility. And also I am so excited to

413
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: see this wide receiver group and the offense maybe as

414
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: a as a whole. Again, I mentioned some of my

415
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 1: job is so excited. She's like, yes, I know, but

416
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: I think you know. I mentioned Benny Scoe, Jacob Harris,

417
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: some of these guys that are tight end, like you're

418
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: going to add them to Tyler Higbee and the things

419
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: that he can do. I'm excited to see him back

420
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: who's kind of been going through his own injury. I

421
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 1: think that elbow has been nagging him. So seeing the

422
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: tight end group, seeing the wide receivers all kind of

423
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 1: meshed together, and seeing them obviously be targeted by the

424
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: amazing Matthew Stafford and what he's anticipated to do, it's

425
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: gonna be really exciting. DeMarco, I'm a big fan of

426
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,239
Speaker 1: vet days. I have to throw that out, just like

427
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: you know, the old guy's taking days off in training camp.

428
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 1: That's gonna be huge. But I mean just managing the

429
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 1: football team, and I mean just want to caution. I mean, look,

430
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: this can Acre's injury is is It's massive. Now, it

431
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: happens at a good time, but you have a chance

432
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: to adjust. But there's a ripple effect to two things

433
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 1: like this, so you're gonna have to retool some but

434
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: there's a lot of time and you have confidence in

435
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: the people you have. I'm glad you have a guy

436
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: in Matthew Stafford. Say you have to win shootouts, Say

437
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: you have to go head to head and some of

438
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 1: the best quarterbacks in the league and throw to win

439
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: the game. So he's one of the best throwers of

440
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: the football. Couple that with Sean McVay. You feel pretty confident,

441
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: but there's gonna be a ripple effect defensively speaking. Look,

442
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: I guess, I guess you can start to ask how

443
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: long does the Aaron Donald run of dominance go on?

444
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: So everyone's looking for that. Is he slowing down? Is

445
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: this going to be the season? So you hope not.

446
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: If you get the same sort of eron you've seen

447
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: over the last five years, this team is going to

448
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: be right back in the mix, you know, come November December.

449
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 1: So you're he is that good and you're that good

450
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: with him as long as you can score points to

451
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: keep up. You have a lot question Aaron Donald DeMarco,

452
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: just a question. It happens to everybody. And the last

453
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: thing is just be careful with the bulletin board material.

454
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 1: Some guy in New England says they're not going to

455
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 1: welcome Tom Brady back to Foxborough. That's ludicrous. And then

456
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: somebody in San Francisco says, Matthew Stafford is the same

457
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford in Detroit. Okay, that's fine, that's fine. In July,

458
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: Let's see what happens when you line up when it's

459
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,239
Speaker 1: for real. That's my last point. Yeah, I don't think

460
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford will have much to say in response to

461
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 1: Jimmy board there Serena, I know you're going to close

462
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: with some information on how fans can join us at

463
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: training camp, so my finishing thought will be with respect

464
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: to that dynamic. My major reflection on last year was

465
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: just how much enjoyment I derive from the energy that

466
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: the fans bring to the stadium and to training camp.

467
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: Last year's training camp was awful for so many reasons,

468
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: and without fans there, it's not even training camps, just

469
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: football practice. And without fans at Sofi Stadium and across

470
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,919
Speaker 1: the National Football League, I don't even know what that was.

471
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: It was not in that Football League game day environment.

472
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: So I'm thrilled to have that back to everyone out there,

473
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: please protect yourself, your loved ones, your community, so that

474
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,719
Speaker 1: we can get back to doing this the way it's

475
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: supposed to be done, in the way we love to

476
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 1: do it, for sure. And JB, I mean me, myself,

477
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: Lindsay de Marco, and yourself. We've all seen and experienced

478
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 1: Sofi Stadium, so we are excited to see that thing

479
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 1: packed for game days again. And you guys can get
