1
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 1: How's it going everyone? Welcome to a week two edition

2
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: of Between the Horns, presented by your Southern California took

3
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: you to Dealers.

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 2: I'm JB.

5
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: Lung with my friends Maurice Jones, Drew and Marco Farr

6
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,600
Speaker 1: the Rams in Nashville. This week it's cam Ward's home debut,

7
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 1: a chance to get to two and zero against the

8
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: AFC South for LA. Before we get to that matchup,

9
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: how's everybody doing good?

10
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 2: Yes? Good? Good? So far? Week one win?

11
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 3: Right?

12
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 2: Happy?

13
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 3: It's flying by.

14
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 2: Yes.

15
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 3: I felt like we just got off the field.

16
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,319
Speaker 2: Now we're back here for a Week two I turn

17
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 2: the page, Yes, sir, the next step.

18
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 1: I'm good to get off on the right foot. This year,

19
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: we talked about starting faster. The Rams didn't do it

20
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: in the first quarter, but they did overall a good

21
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: win against the Houston team. Week one, though, is known

22
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: for being dishonest. You know what I mean? Week one

23
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: can be misleading. And I went back and I looked

24
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: at some twenty twenty four storylines, headlines you might say,

25
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: not from LA, but across the league, and I wonder

26
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: if you guys might get a kick out of these.

27
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: So if we were sitting in these chairs twelve months ago,

28
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: some of the things we might be saying, Oh, look

29
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: out for that Saints offense Derek Carr in New Orleans

30
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: forty seven points against Carolina could be a problem.

31
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 3: How crazy is that? Twelve months later?

32
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 2: Wow, everyone's everyone's gone.

33
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: How about this one for your forty nine er friends

34
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: up in the Bay area, Jake Moody, Oh, he's going

35
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: to be an All Pro. They drafted the right kicker,

36
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: six field goals, NFC Special Teams Player of the Week

37
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:31,559
Speaker 1: Week one last year.

38
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,639
Speaker 2: I feel like that tackle where he hurt his ankle

39
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 2: kind of ruined him a little bit. Yeah, I think

40
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: that's been the reason. And really, to be honest, like

41
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 2: he's gotten the kiss of death like four times he

42
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 2: somehow he didn't get it and then Kyle gave it

43
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 2: to him again.

44
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, after Week one last year, nobody would have.

45
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 2: Expected this day. I see where we're going.

46
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels pretty good last year as a rookie.

47
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 2: Agreed yes Week.

48
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: One, three fumbles, one hundred and eighty four passing yards.

49
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: So I'm sure somewhere in the football universe someone was saying, ooh,

50
00:01:58,760 --> 00:01:59,919
Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels might take.

51
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 3: Some Yeah right exactly.

52
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: So in this show we'll do a little Week one

53
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: reaction as well. But first, some things from around the

54
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 1: league that I think warn't discussion. Kittle and Purty speaking

55
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: of the Niners, big story, Wow.

56
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 3: A month boats out? Probably a month?

57
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: Yes, Kittle, we won't see in Week five at Sofi Stadium.

58
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: Party was a turf toe it sounds like.

59
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 2: And the shoulder, Yeah, I saw. I heard that this

60
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 2: morning when I woke up. They had it all on

61
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 2: the news.

62
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 4: And you know me, I'd rather have your best players

63
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 4: out there when I beat you. But Kittle and Party

64
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 4: want to miss the game, then so be it.

65
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: The game before that. The next time the Rams are

66
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,399
Speaker 1: at Sofi Stadium, the Colts will be in town. They've

67
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 1: yet to punt in twenty twenty five, so maybe a

68
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: bit more frisky than we anticipated with Danny Dimes.

69
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 2: Or maybe or maybe the Dolphins just don't want to

70
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 2: play for that. That could be too Daniel Jones could be

71
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 2: better than we give them credit for. But I think

72
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 2: you might be right about Miami.

73
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 3: Miami. The arrow might be pointing the wrong way. Yeah,

74
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 3: I think it's I think they're kind of on their

75
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 3: way out.

76
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: I got one more for your people in Jacksonville. Enough

77
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: is enough, but it's getting annoying.

78
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 2: Listen, brother, no disrespect, but I love Cody Trader, but

79
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 2: the thirty two on him in Jacksonville's a little kind

80
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 2: of rubbed me the wrong way. I just want to

81
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 2: put that out there. Okay, is rub me the wrong way?

82
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 2: I sent a couple of text messages out. I got

83
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 2: some responses back, but it's just like I love the guy,

84
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: I love the Rams, yes, but thirty two in.

85
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 3: Jacksonville is like that shouldn't be touched for a while.

86
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 1: James Stone, Jake, Timmy, we love you. Yeah, you're kind

87
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: of setting up like a West Coast Jackson.

88
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 3: Bureau out here, but wow, listen, layoff.

89
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 2: Let me let them put the dirt on me before you,

90
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 2: before you put the thirty. It's been a while though,

91
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 2: as it's been like two years a minute.

92
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, question for you guys, do you think that Houston

93
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: might be the best defense the Rams face all year?

94
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: And or do you think Houston might be one of

95
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: the most incompetent or dysfunctional offenses the Rams.

96
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 2: I think that year.

97
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: And the reason I ask is because we're about to

98
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: dig into what conclusions we draw from rams.

99
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: In week one.

100
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 4: I think that defense is legit. I love it. I

101
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 4: love those wide nines. I think they get after you.

102
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 4: I think the best part about Week one was you

103
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 4: played them here. If that was in Houston and they

104
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 4: had the benefit of crowd noise, that could have got ugly.

105
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 4: And they were doing great on the road. So I

106
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 4: think that defense is going to be legit. At some point,

107
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 4: maybe in the next month or so, you'll say, scoring

108
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 4: fourteen points against them.

109
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 3: Wow, how'd you do that? You know what I mean? Yeah,

110
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 3: So I think that.

111
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 4: But offensively speaking, I still think there but when you

112
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 4: reshuffle your line, and again, if we were sitting in

113
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 4: these seats we were twelve months ago. We did the

114
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 4: same thing in Detroit. We had to make a last

115
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 4: minute line change on the road.

116
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: Houston's experience was like.

117
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 4: The correct same thing. So they're still trying to figure

118
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 4: themselves out offensively. But I think until you get right offensively,

119
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 4: that defense can't carry you.

120
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was gonna say to me, it's the front

121
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 3: seven did amazing.

122
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 2: I thought the back end did well. They just got

123
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 2: put in some different situations. Having CJ. Gardner Johnson cover

124
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 2: Pukana Kua is not your best match. We don't want

125
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 2: that match up on the field. But the way those

126
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 2: linebackers are hitting, flying around, the way that d line

127
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 2: was getting after the off to wine a little bit, I.

128
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 3: Mean, that's what you expect. That's a championship defense. That

129
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 3: defense can.

130
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 2: Go and win a Super Bowl right with the right

131
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 2: offense within in special teams and then they're playing at

132
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 2: a high level right now. You expect that from Demico Ryans.

133
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 2: I think on the other side, they had opportunity, they

134
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 2: had a great game plan.

135
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 3: I thought overall, they just didn't have their pieces.

136
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 2: They don't have Joe Mixon, right, they don't have Dale Christian,

137
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 2: they didn't have a lot of these guys that can

138
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 2: go out there and play. And the defensive defense of

139
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 2: the Rams did what they were supposed to do.

140
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 3: All right.

141
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: So if that does our backdrop kind of a fair

142
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 1: assessment of the Houston Texans a week one opponent. It's

143
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: time to play the game show that's taking La by storm.

144
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,119
Speaker 1: Since I made it up yesterday over lunch. It's called

145
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 1: I've seen enough or let's wait and see. Okay, I'm

146
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: gonna have some knee jerk reactions to the Rams Week

147
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: one performance, and I've seen enough in what I'll present

148
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: them or wait and see or wait and see, Okay,

149
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 1: I want you to digest them, debate them, and decide

150
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: whether you agree with this is estimate or whether it's

151
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: going to take some more time. We have a buzzer, okay, yeah,

152
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 1: feel free to focus some back as well. All right,

153
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: now I have a few. You want offensive defense, first.

154
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 2: Defense?

155
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:10,799
Speaker 1: You want one on defense.

156
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 2: I was gonna say offense, Okay, I was gonna say

157
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 2: special teams.

158
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't have one team, but let's start on defense.

159
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 2: Okay.

160
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,799
Speaker 1: The best gift that the Rams got from the Falcons

161
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 1: this offseason is not the twenty twenty six first round pick.

162
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,119
Speaker 4: Oh I've seen enough. I've seen enough. I've seen enough.

163
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 4: You're talking about Landman, the Landman punch. Yes, if he

164
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 4: can play like that weekend and week out, that was

165
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 4: a great Week one, he's player.

166
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: Of the week right, NFC defensive Player of the week.

167
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 3: Debut tremendous.

168
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 4: And it's not just because of the Landman punch to

169
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 4: get the ball out at the end and a great

170
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 4: job by Braden Fist to scoop that thing up, but

171
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 4: it was the plays before that, how physical he played.

172
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 4: You know, you watch linebackers first, right, you had to

173
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 4: be impressed with how he played the run. It wasn't

174
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 4: even it's the fact that he's your green dot.

175
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:02,239
Speaker 3: Yeah.

176
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 2: That that right there said enough to me. That he

177
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 2: was a captain on this team in his first year.

178
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 2: Told me that that was better than the first round

179
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 2: pick because he's coming in and he's really the glue

180
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 2: to this defense. He's gonna get everyone set. Then when

181
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 2: you watch the game, I mean sideline, the sideline, the turnovers,

182
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 2: the physically all those things, that's what you're looking for.

183
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 2: We talked about it during our broadcast. The ability to

184
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 2: tackle without tackling. None of these guys played in prese

185
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 2: isn't preseason. I don't think they tackled live in practice

186
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 2: to the ground. But that defense rallied and he was

187
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: one of the guys that made a ton of tackles

188
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 2: as well.

189
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: You want to go even bigger on land Man, Go ahead,

190
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: do you have some recent history?

191
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 4: Okay, so being the you keep saying it been around

192
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 4: here a while, right that that might have been the

193
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 4: best inside linebacker performance I've seen in a long time.

194
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 4: And I'm trying to be nice to Bobby Wagner. Bobby

195
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 4: Wagner is going to the Hall of Fame, no question.

196
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 4: But as far as a guy getting downhill, splattering people,

197
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 4: being in the right gaps when you when you hit

198
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 4: running backs, they go back the other way. I haven't

199
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 4: seen that in a long time. I've seen a lot

200
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 4: of linebackers. They play it soft, a little bit, three yards,

201
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 4: four yards, that's fine.

202
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 3: This was attacking.

203
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 4: So if he can play that way from this point on,

204
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 4: absolutely the best thing you got from Atlanta was him.

205
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 3: Not the picks.

206
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 2: Well, I will tell you this too. One about Bible.

207
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 2: He's a tackler. He's not a thumper. He's not gonna

208
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 2: thump you one and two. We always know. September that's

209
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 2: when defenses fly around, right and you expect that, And

210
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 2: so I want to see how he plays in October.

211
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 3: That's where I'll wait to.

212
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 2: See if he's gonna be that same physical government landman

213
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 2: in November and December. But right now, this is what

214
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 2: you need, and he's giving you everything you need right now.

215
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: It's Nate Laman, by the way, but he's cool. If

216
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: we lean into the land Man, I know I'm gonna

217
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: stay on defense I'll try and connect this to the

218
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: draft a little bit too. Remember in the spring when

219
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: everyone was flabbergasted that LA didn't draft a corner. Yes, like, wait,

220
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 1: they're just gonna run it back with that secondary. Well,

221
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: hold on a minute. They did draft a corner. They

222
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: just let the Commanders draft the corner and then they

223
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 1: claimed Emmanuel Fordes off waivers. So he's a starting corner

224
00:08:58,280 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: that you got for a waiver claim.

225
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 3: Agree or disagree.

226
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 2: I agree. I thought he did awesome. I thought he

227
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 2: came out and played. Well, you look like you put

228
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 2: on some weight too, which you know, again, don't go

229
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 2: in there where this is. Don't go in there and

230
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 2: hit them big fellows late, stay out of the way,

231
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 2: push him to the ground because.

232
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 3: You know we don't need that. But he was showing

233
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 3: his physicality too.

234
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 2: He was where he needed to be to see Darius

235
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 2: Williams not even played that that That sounds a time.

236
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 2: It told you a lot, and so that to me, yeah,

237
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 2: you got a first round pick for a waiver claim, you.

238
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 3: Got to steal.

239
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 4: Watching him in practice, the guy can absolutely cover. He's

240
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 4: a corner, you know, top flight corner, and you see them.

241
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 4: The one thing that jumps out. Was how skinny he was.

242
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 4: Now he's packed on some weight fifteen seventeen pounds. And

243
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 4: I was impressed with how he stuck his nose in

244
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 4: there on the run. We don't need all that, but

245
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 4: that was the biggest question. Can you seal that edge?

246
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 4: Can you be that guy in this defense? It's required

247
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 4: Like the receivers here, it's it's a requirement to block here.

248
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 4: On defense, you're gonna have to seal the edge and

249
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 4: stick your nose in there, regardless of how your what

250
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 4: your body type is.

251
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 3: So I was very impressed with that. I was watching

252
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 3: ESPN this morning.

253
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,839
Speaker 2: Ryan Clark said this, and he said, this is the

254
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 2: pedigree for great defenses.

255
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 3: Your big guys run and your little guys hit.

256
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 2: That's good. That's what you're getting. And that's what you're

257
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 2: seeing for the defense. And they have that pedigree, they

258
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 2: have that culture, and I think that's those are two

259
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 2: guys we talked about that are new guys that you're

260
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 2: seeing the culture kind of get in, you know, and

261
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 2: those guys are playing well.

262
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: All right to offense. Now, either I've seen enough to

263
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: know or let's wait and see. I need to see

264
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: some more. The rams are no longer an eleven personnel offense.

265
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 3: Let's wait and see. I've seen enough. Really, I see

266
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 3: the twelve.

267
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 2: I mean, I think we're gonna start getting thirteen personnel

268
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 2: here pretty soon. Come on, yeah, we gotta find a

269
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 2: way to get him out there, I thought. I think again,

270
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 2: the Rams are leaning into and it's becoming a matchup

271
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 2: problem when you're out there in twelve personnel for defenses

272
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 2: to figure out, are we going to be a nickel?

273
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 3: Are we going to be in base? Mm hmm. Right.

274
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 2: If we're in nickel, they're gonna run the ball at

275
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 2: our slot corner. If we're in base, we're gonna motion

276
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 2: to titan. Now, why take out your corner and have

277
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,839
Speaker 2: Pooka Nakua and another in Devanta Adams running up the

278
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 2: seam on your.

279
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: Linebackers really quick on that. If you want to play

280
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: nickel on your Houston, you can get away with that

281
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 1: because you've got Petrie like that, big body, and maybe

282
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,839
Speaker 1: Philadelphia can do that, but that's not universally the case.

283
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: And that's maybe something to your point that they will

284
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: capitalize on in the running game A bit down the line.

285
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 2: I completely a believe again, you can run the same

286
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 2: formations out of twelve personnel because you have receivers and

287
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 2: it just puts a defense.

288
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 3: In a mind. And then this is the other thing.

289
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 3: Tight ends are the biggest mismatch on the field.

290
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 2: They're bigger than most linebackers or fashion and most linebackers,

291
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 2: and bigger than most corners and safeties.

292
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 3: How are you going to stop that?

293
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 4: Although I would say this, we would used to say

294
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 4: linebackers are now blown up safeties. I think safeties have

295
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 4: become miniature linebackers will everything's changing. So I would say

296
00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 4: twelve personnel versus the Texans with wide nines actually makes sense.

297
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 4: But this is Sean McVay we are talking about, right, guys.

298
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 3: You know he's going to go.

299
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 2: Back to eleven, so real quick on that guy. That's

300
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 2: his favorite number. You know this right.

301
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: I know there's a comment, a question out there somewhere,

302
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: where's two two outwall? You paid two twelve to ten

303
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: million dollars. I don't think last week was a two

304
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: two outwall game for a number of reasons last week,

305
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: But I still think when he was on the field,

306
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: he impacted throwing lanes and winning, and I think it's.

307
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 3: That's where I'm going. Yes, there's going to be a

308
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 3: plan for him.

309
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: Yes, quarterback or receiver next, let's two receiver. Okay, let's

310
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: let's save mister sixty thousand. I've seen enough, or let's

311
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: wait and see. Davante Adams is exactly what the Rams

312
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: needed for twenty twenty five and he is still a

313
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: dude ready.

314
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 2: I've seen enough.

315
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:43,079
Speaker 3: I've seen enough.

316
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 2: I've seen enough, but I want to see more though,

317
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,599
Speaker 2: I want to Yeah, seen enough, but I want to

318
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,719
Speaker 2: see more. And the reason is I thought the back

319
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 2: shoulder catch was more than enough. Like that against that

320
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 2: kid where you don't touch him and you put it

321
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 2: right there.

322
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 3: That's I've seen enough. But also I want to see.

323
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 2: Him more involved in the game plan a little bit more,

324
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 2: catching more routes than just like out or hitches or

325
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 2: things like that. I want to see him on the

326
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 2: move a little bit more and do certain things like that.

327
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 1: But that had to be the most impactful handful of catches,

328
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: handful of yards game I've seen from a receiver in

329
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: a long time. Like he took one of the best

330
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: corners in the league and said, you and me over

331
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: here and the rest of the guys are gonna play

332
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: ten on.

333
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 2: Ten and still have fun.

334
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's gonna be great things for Puka, who

335
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: had ten for one thirty and thirty eight snaps, and

336
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 1: he lined up in the slot sixty four percent of

337
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: the time, more than he has throughout his entire career.

338
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 4: You could see the game plan. I'm still shocked. You

339
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 4: couldn't see the push off from Devonte. I didn't see

340
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 4: the pus. Did you see it? Everybody in the world

341
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 4: saw it. I don't see the push off level seven.

342
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 4: It was clean, really okay, it was so clear in

343
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 4: the corner.

344
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 2: It was very professional. If you don't see it, you

345
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 2: can't call it. But it was there.

346
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 4: But that's beautiful when you take that guy out and

347
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 4: you can beat him on that route. He and and

348
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,839
Speaker 4: how I knew it wasn't that big of a deal

349
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 4: because the corner didn't go like this.

350
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 2: It was so quick. So yeah, to me, that's not

351
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 2: a push off. The corner put his hands up like

352
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 2: he did, that's a push off.

353
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: He did put a cup on the ground that he

354
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: probably would tell you he should catch, but the one

355
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: he plucked off the turf to get down to get

356
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: that third down that turned into David's house. We might

357
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: be talking completely differently here today. If he didn't make that.

358
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 4: I was impressed with the first one, the hit he

359
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 4: took and got, yeah, man, that was a that's a

360
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 4: kill shot, and got right up and pointed for the

361
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 4: first down. I thought that said a lot.

362
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: Now, I want to be cleared. DeVante recently has been

363
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: killing it in the slot too, and if you put

364
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: him in motion, I think good outcomes can follow. However,

365
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: one of the first things that I think we said

366
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: back in the spring was watch how little he's in motion.

367
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: That was my hunch. My intuition is that you got

368
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: a true X that you can that you can just

369
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: trust to win against any coverage. And in the meantime,

370
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: guess who's free to roam pooka or you can send

371
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: your tight end to flip the strength or in that

372
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: blast motion like Cooper cup was running miles, so he

373
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: was running marathons pre snap in the last couple of years,

374
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: that's no longer the case. It's a different structure, and

375
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: I think it sets up well in terms of Marion

376
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: running pass together. Like we saw in that final sequence.

377
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,359
Speaker 1: How devastating was that final.

378
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 3: Sea poss That was unbelievable.

379
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: Three identical looks and on third down you throw it.

380
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 2: To Pooka ran the first the first play, on the

381
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 2: second play you had eight yards and I think like

382
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 2: seven yards, and then you come in off a play

383
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 2: action pass, have him to the flat tight and every

384
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 2: everything looks the same ball game game.

385
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: I can't believe we've gone this far without mentioning QB

386
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: one because obviously he dominated the summer in our show

387
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: last week. So here's one more for you. On offense,

388
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: I've seen enougher. Let's wait and see. Matthew Stafford is

389
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: still the best quarterback in the NFC.

390
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 3: I've seen enough.

391
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 2: He's you have to make two or three throws a

392
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 2: game that that most guys can't make. I'm gonna give

393
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 2: you the three that I say that Poola, the two

394
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 2: to pook up the scene, and then the back shoulder

395
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 2: to Devonte those are those are the that throw he

396
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 2: made to Pooka with Gardner Johnson covering him where he's

397
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 2: like he's looking this way and he flipped it that way.

398
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 2: And then the first one where he just right it

399
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 2: was up and over the linebacker.

400
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 3: That ball.

401
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 2: I coached high school football, watch a lot of college

402
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 2: watch pros.

403
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 3: Obviously that pass.

404
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 2: Is the hardest pass to throw, where you have to

405
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 2: get it up and over at eighteen yards before that

406
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 2: safety gets there.

407
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: That's the hardest throws, especially if you're rusty or you

408
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: don't feel great. It wasn't the box score that made

409
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: me say that with confidence. It was the way he

410
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: went out there with a termination and a chip on

411
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: his shoulder and played fearless football like he said he

412
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: was going to.

413
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 4: I'm gonna respectfully say I'm gonna wait and see, because

414
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 4: right before we started this, I was watching Eagles tape

415
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 4: and watching Jalen Hurts pull one down and scrabble for

416
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 4: a touchdown and then flip to that Jayden Daniels, who

417
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 4: is getting better. So I don't think the NFC has

418
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 4: decided as far as arm talent and what he can

419
00:16:55,400 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 4: do from the pocket, absolut freaking lutely, no doubt. We'll

420
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 4: see if that's gonna be enough to get you through

421
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 4: the NFC. But as of right now.

422
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 2: He's one of could be absolutely so I'll say I'll

423
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 2: wait and see. I will say, too, lack of mobility

424
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 2: in the NFC is going to hurt you eventually, right,

425
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 2: because that's what helped the Eagles beat the Cowboys was

426
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 2: literally Jalen hurts the everyone's covered, there's no to throw to.

427
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 2: He runs fines to guess what save CJ. Stroud finding

428
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 2: a way out.

429
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: Yes, that's gonna be especially pertinent as we talk about

430
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: the matchup with the Titans, which I promise is coming up.

431
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: But since you asked for special teams, here's one more

432
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: for you. This kicking game is suddenly as good as

433
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 1: it's been since Matt Gay left, or Bones Fossil left,

434
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: or you pick your point in time.

435
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 3: But I would say two thousand.

436
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 2: I would say the best kicking game I thought we

437
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 2: had was when we went to New Orleans and won

438
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 2: the NFC Championship game.

439
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I thought that was the height of our kicks.

440
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: Greg Zuerline, Yeah, I mentioned Bones Fossil because he's in

441
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: Nashville with Johnny Hecker. Now, so we're gonna see this.

442
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say I've seen enough. I know Ethan Evans.

443
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 4: It's kickoffs, punts give you what you need. Either he

444
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 4: could flip field position or he's pretty good at placing

445
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 4: the football.

446
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 3: And I think.

447
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 4: Cardi's gotten a whole lot better, or I think we

448
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 4: haven't we've just barely scratched the surface on how he's

449
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,719
Speaker 4: going to do these kickoffs. I think he's really going

450
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 4: to be a problem with these dynamic kickoffs. So and

451
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 4: I think he's pretty good from fifty plus.

452
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: You can hit from fifty seven and fifty eight against

453
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: the Seahawks last year at season's end, so.

454
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 4: You feel pretty good about his accuracy. I think the

455
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 4: snaps are there, so I've seen enough. I think this

456
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 4: battery is as good as we've seen around here.

457
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: And we talk about limiting a Houston offense to nine points,

458
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: no touchdowns, a drive that didn't reach any farther than

459
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 1: the fifteen yard line, like those long fields that you're

460
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: setting up where they start from their twenty instead of

461
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: their thirty five. It's a big deal.

462
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 3: That is a big deal, I would say too.

463
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 2: We talked about like I think he's become a weapon,

464
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 2: that the kicking game has become a weapon because now

465
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 2: I can be aggressive if I want to when we

466
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 2: get offensively, once we get past the fifty, knowing that

467
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 2: I have an opportunity to still have a field goals made.

468
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 2: But then also if we do stumble, have a pun

469
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 2: that can flip field position in the heart immediately.

470
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: Let's talk Titans and Rams pick a side of the ball.

471
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: We'll talk matchups first.

472
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 3: I'm worried about mister Simmons. Man.

473
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 1: It is a bad stretch of the season to be

474
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: dinged up at guard.

475
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 3: Bro Dude is huge.

476
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 4: He's a monster. Even if you weren't dinged up, you'd

477
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 4: have problems slowing him down. I do think this like Davante,

478
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 4: even if he doesn't get the rock, it doesn't mean

479
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 4: you covered him, you know what I mean.

480
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 2: The ball just didn't get to him.

481
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 4: I don't think there is a guard in the league

482
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 4: that can handle this guy one on one at all.

483
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 4: He's just got He's so big, he's so strong, He's

484
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 4: got a myriad of moves he can throw at you.

485
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 3: He's gonna be a problem this Sunday.

486
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 2: Do you remember when they drafted him, he had a

487
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,199
Speaker 2: torn in cl in the first round. That should tell

488
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 2: you all you need to know right about Jeffers disqualify.

489
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 1: Whatever I didn't know then, after seeing what he did

490
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:53,959
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one and that no win November Man, forever,

491
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: We'll have my respect.

492
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 2: That's not my fear.

493
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 3: He's legit.

494
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: Yes, So if Carter's coming down the pike in week three.

495
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: Don't overlook this channel.

496
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 2: No, no, no, he's he is very similar to Carter,

497
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 2: if not, I would say possibly better.

498
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,719
Speaker 3: I was a little older, but they the Titan. When

499
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 3: you watch their defense.

500
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 2: One first and foremost, shout out to my guy, Brian Callahans,

501
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 2: my old high school and.

502
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 3: College. He went to UCLA before me.

503
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,919
Speaker 1: And and but neither nor they're not your cousin though, right, No, no,

504
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: not my cos.

505
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 3: That's my that's my dog. Here's my brother from David's South.

506
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 2: Okay, he has some things he has to do offensively,

507
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 2: and this defense is going to have to carry him.

508
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 2: Right And so speaking of Jeffrey Simmons, that's the key

509
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 2: to this defense. If you can get four hands on

510
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 2: him or four eyes on him, the other guys kind of.

511
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 3: Play towards us. You got to kind of limit him.

512
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 3: But if you don't, if you let him get going, oh,

513
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 3: then everyone gets going.

514
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 2: And that's the problem. That's how you beat them. It's

515
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 2: like you got to limit his opportunities to make plays.

516
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 2: How do you do that?

517
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 4: Well, I think you have to move the pocket. If

518
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 4: you're going to throw the football, sometimes you're gonna have

519
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 4: to challenge him.

520
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 3: It is what it is, is football.

521
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 4: But if you're going to get those half rolls, keep

522
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 4: Matthew Stafford as far away from him as possible and

523
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 4: keep two bodies on him. You got to bring the

524
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 4: tackle down, bring the center back, just keep him getting back. Yeah,

525
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 4: and frustrate him, just like Matthew Stafford did the Texans.

526
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 4: Even when they got good, a good rush, a good

527
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 4: get off, the ball was already gone. So by the

528
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 4: time you're done with your first move, you're in pursuit already.

529
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 4: That drives you nuts. Do the same thing to him.

530
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 4: But if you get caught in those if you're making

531
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 4: mistakes on first down, if you're behind the chains and

532
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 4: you get caught in a third and a mile and

533
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 4: you need to have it. I mean, that's instant pressure

534
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 4: right into the face of your quarterback that we just

535
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 4: said doesn't like to run.

536
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 3: It can be a Screens are gonna go quicker receiver.

537
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 3: Screens are gonna be huge.

538
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 2: Getting him out outside, let him run and chase get downhill,

539
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 2: get four hands on him some downhill runs where you're

540
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 2: double team and keep testing them with the run game.

541
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, keep them honest.

542
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: They led the NFL with four takeaways in Denver, two

543
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: interceptions of force fumble, recovered a muff punt. They also

544
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: had two takeaways on down So to your point about

545
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: maybe this being a defensive driven team until cam Ward

546
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: gets locked in and they can up around him, it

547
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: seems like they were up to that task. And maybe

548
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 1: they're a little underrated defensively.

549
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 3: Oh, no question.

550
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 2: I mean they were banged up last year, but like

551
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 2: I said, they have guys the corners are I would

552
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 2: say they're above average.

553
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: You know what's interesting to that point is Lugerious Sneed

554
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: sounds like he's on a pitch count coming off.

555
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 2: Of that quad last year.

556
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 1: He didn't play a full snapload, but played well last week,

557
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: and he's actually had some great head to head history

558
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: against Avante. Yes, so I'm curious.

559
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 3: Do they got Stafford throwing the ball he had Aaron Rodgers?

560
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:31,959
Speaker 2: I'm just checkmate.

561
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: Do teams have any interest in traveling the way that

562
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,400
Speaker 1: Houston did last week or was that unique to their guy?

563
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 2: No, I think they'll travel them. I mean they paid

564
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 2: him to travel, to be honest. I mean that that's

565
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 2: what he did in Kansas City as well. So if

566
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 2: you're playing this game, of chess, I'm gonna put my

567
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,959
Speaker 2: best corner on on your best guy to stop him.

568
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 2: The key is gonna be who's gonna cover Pooka, right,

569
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 2: And we've always talked about this, what the Rams have

570
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 2: the Queen. If we're talking chess, the Queen pieces Pooka

571
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 2: because he's bigger than every corner that he's gonna go against.

572
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 2: He's stronger than most of those guys, and to get

573
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 2: him to run on those safeties and corners consistently will.

574
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 3: Help your offense.

575
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: Speaking of Puka, I did hear from from our fan

576
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 1: base a little concern maybe that teams are head hunting Puka,

577
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: that he's got a target on his back coming into

578
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: year three.

579
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 2: Was that, I don't know head hunting. I think you're

580
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 2: as a huge sensor back.

581
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 3: Houston's just a different team.

582
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 4: They were bringing it, they were they were hitting hard

583
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 4: like every like the Rams defense was. But I think

584
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 4: with guys like Puka, going back to hines Ward, it's

585
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 4: it's almost like you have to protect yourself against them

586
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 4: because of how they play. Because if you don't, if

587
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 4: you come up and you attack Puka high, like taking

588
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 4: DK Metcalf wrong, you're gonna get flat run over and

589
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 4: if he lines you up the right way, you're gonna

590
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 4: get hurt. So I think most of this is respecting

591
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 4: how he plays. You gotta play hard or he's gonna

592
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 4: bounce off.

593
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 2: I got a chance to talk to Henry Totoe after

594
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 2: the game. We'll talk to his dad, and he was like,

595
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 2: he's bigger than me. I can't take him on like

596
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 2: I would take on a receiver. I have to take

597
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 2: him on like a bigger back. You gotta hit him.

598
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 2: You gotta go and hit him. And that's just what happens.

599
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 2: You have a when you're again two hundred and twenty five,

600
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 2: two hundred and thirty pound guy, like they're gonna hit

601
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 2: you as such. Right if you're one hundred and eighty pounds,

602
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 2: they'll probably grab you and throw you around. But you

603
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 2: can't grab pook and throw them me too strong, So

604
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 2: you got to come in there with some force and

605
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 2: to be honest, when you're one of the best.

606
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 3: Players in the league. That's what happens.

607
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 2: When if you're going across the middle, guys try to

608
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 2: get at you a little bit, and that's part of

609
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:24,120
Speaker 2: the game.

610
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 1: Can I go back to your point about Houston being

611
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 1: able and willing to match a twelve personnel with base

612
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 1: am I being an apologist by saying, Okay, the running

613
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 1: game for LA didn't get off the ground in week

614
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: one because they had extra linebackers and big safeties and

615
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: they had their box count ride and so Sean McVay

616
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 1: and Matthew Stafford just choose to attack them through the air.

617
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 2: Well, you pick and choose, right, are you gonna be

618
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 2: heavy against the run? If you want to, then we'll

619
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 2: we'll we'll tack you up in there. If you want

620
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 2: to be light against the run, we'll run the ball.

621
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 2: And that's the game. That's the game.

622
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 1: But he's so concerned about the lack of rushing results

623
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: in week one.

624
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 2: Necessary No, because Houston's really good, and I think we

625
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 2: don't we're not giving them enough credit for what they done,

626
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 2: what they've built there, and what they've done the last

627
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 2: couple of years. Defensively, I thought the game plan was

628
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 2: to tack them up the seams off of play action,

629
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,239
Speaker 2: and that's what they did. So they got their big

630
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 2: chunk plays and that's how you do it.

631
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 1: What about your level of concern when what sixty percent

632
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: of the Rams offensive line is nursing an ankle injury

633
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 1: as we record the show on Thursday's Game week scary.

634
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 4: That's I guess the downside of not really going hard

635
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 4: or playing in preseason. You don't really develop that callous

636
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 4: So the first three weeks of the regular season is

637
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 4: getting into football shape. So I did worry about that

638
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 4: when you left the game in so far against the Texans,

639
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 4: hard hitting and you're left with bumps and bruises. Now

640
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 4: you've got to get ready to go play Tennessee. Can

641
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 4: you retool and regroup fast enough to do that? So

642
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 4: it is a concern, but at least you're going to

643
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 4: have the same group. We hope you're not really replacing

644
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 4: people as of right now.

645
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: It is a matchup of quarterbacks taking number one overall

646
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: about a generation of part Matthew Stafford now sixty thousand

647
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: yards strong and cam Ward set for his home debut.

648
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: It was the worst offensive showing in the league in

649
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: Week one just about any metric you look at, and

650
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 1: I've I don't think I've ever seen as an admired

651
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 1: or beloved a six sack, no touchdown, one hundred and

652
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: twelve yard passing performance as I've seen and heard about

653
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: from cam Ward. The tape is telling a different story

654
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 1: than the box score. Apparently, what say you?

655
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 2: I agree, it's tough that you got to go against

656
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 2: Denver week one. It was probably, if not the best,

657
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 2: one of the top three defense in the NFL last

658
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 2: year with the defensive player of the Year at corner.

659
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 2: So that shuts out half of the field guys that

660
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 2: can get to the quarterback. And then it sucks that

661
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 2: you have to double back and go against the Rams

662
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 2: who have this young defensive line that flies around and

663
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 2: gets after you. Right so, and that's the NFL. And

664
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 2: I think for him, he made some really good throws.

665
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 2: They had a ton of drops. He had some really

666
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,360
Speaker 2: good throws. He sat in the pocket, He never panicked.

667
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 2: He was that guy that you saw at Miami, the

668
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 2: confident guy that sits in the pocket, will make throws.

669
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 2: If he has to get out, he will try to

670
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 2: get out. And I think that's where him a little bit.

671
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 2: That he scrambled and tried to do like some stuff

672
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 2: that he did in college, and he got sacked a

673
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 2: couple of times for some big losses.

674
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 3: But you know, you got to learn from that. I

675
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 3: think that he has his skill set.

676
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 2: He made I mean there was one throw I think

677
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 2: a guy was going from left to right and he

678
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 2: threw it over two guys.

679
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 3: It hit him right in the hands. I mean, if

680
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 3: it was an arrow, it probably would have killed him.

681
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: What hurt is It was Calvin Ridley. It was his

682
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: number one who was putting balls.

683
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's what he does that. Sometimes he'll have

684
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 2: the drops here and there. But it was another kid though,

685
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 2: And I mean that ball is probably the best ball

686
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,679
Speaker 2: thrown all all week and it just and so you

687
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 2: got to help your young quarterback out. Is that the

688
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 2: one that got his dad out of a seat?

689
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 3: That was Calvin Ridley? The one he was wide op.

690
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 2: You can't do that, dad. You gotta have a poker face.

691
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:40,360
Speaker 2: But I'd say this, you got.

692
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,159
Speaker 3: To do that. I'm LeVar Ballet, I'm on the sideline.

693
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,439
Speaker 4: You're there, You're going crazy, Okay, But it's it's like

694
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,679
Speaker 4: when you have a young quarterback, usually the offense, depending

695
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 4: on what team you are, like Minnesota, the offense maybe

696
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 4: ahead of the young quarterback. I think this is the opposite.

697
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 4: I think he was actually more ready to play than

698
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 4: the rest of the guys out there. So eventually they're

699
00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 4: going to get on the same page. Hopefully it won't

700
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 4: be this week.

701
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: Quick word on their offensive line, Dan Moore was their

702
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 1: big investment at left tackle right You had to pay

703
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: a premium to get offensive line help this offseason. They

704
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: did first return not great in Denver. Their center Kushionbery

705
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:17,959
Speaker 1: coming off an injury, really important piece. Right tackle seems

706
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 1: to be the injury report to watch this week. A

707
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 1: hip injury for JC Latham. That's a big matchup against

708
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 1: the Rams. Edges whether or not he can go both sides,

709
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: both organizations dealing with offensive line question marks and health

710
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:31,479
Speaker 1: concerns going into this match up.

711
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 3: Still surprised he's on the right. The Alabama kid.

712
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm still surprised he's over there. He's three pounds huge.

713
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 4: I swear when you look at him on tape, he

714
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 4: doesn't look that big, no, which means that just really

715
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 4: really in shape. I'm surprised he's over there. But again,

716
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 4: I think the offense is a work in progress. I

717
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 4: think this offensive line might be a little bit better

718
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 4: than people give.

719
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 3: It credit for.

720
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 4: And you know, depending on how the Rams play, if

721
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 4: they can carry over from what they did versus the

722
00:28:58,680 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 4: Texans into Tennessee.

723
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 3: I have no doubts.

724
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 4: But if you take a step back, this offensive line,

725
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 4: with the way it's constructed and the way it could

726
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 4: come together, could give you some fits.

727
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll say this for all our fans the NFC.

728
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 2: The way the NFC is built compared the way the

729
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 2: AFC's built, the NFC is more slender like outside zone.

730
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 2: When you talk about the AFC, you're talking about cold

731
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 2: weather places where it's downhill football, so you have bigger linemen,

732
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 2: bigger bodies.

733
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 3: You think of Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Tennessee.

734
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 2: Latham would be the right tackle, he would be the

735
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 2: left tackle, but they couldn't find a right tackle in

736
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 2: free agency. They felt comes enough of paying, so they

737
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 2: had to go get Dan Moore, who's preat down with

738
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 2: a left tackle.

739
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 3: So that's why he's there seventh overall at the right.

740
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 3: That's crazy.

741
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 2: Well, they wanted to move in the left where they

742
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 2: just couldn't find a guy to pay, which you have to,

743
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 2: you know, But I will say that's a concern because

744
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 2: they are they're gonna be bigger than our guys.

745
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: If he goes right. If he doesn't, I think that

746
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: puts a dent in their hopes of moving the chains

747
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: with a running game that still has a lot of

748
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,719
Speaker 1: question marks? Does that change the dynamic for you?

749
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 3: Oh?

750
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, If he's not there, it's gonna be a problem. Okay,

751
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 2: you're gonna have two weeks of guys shuffling guys around.

752
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 3: You saw Houston.

753
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 2: They tried to get their running game going, and they

754
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 2: felt comfortable at times, but it was like a guy

755
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 2: would miss make a mistake here, miss a block there.

756
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 3: You'll see that again. Yeah.

757
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: It feels like maybe the most obvious key to this

758
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: game is which which running game, Which offensive line can

759
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: take some of the pressure off its passing game, and

760
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: its quarterback steal some hits off of him by moving

761
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: the chains with chunk plays in the running game an

762
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: efficient running game, especially for Tennessee. That seems to be

763
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: the case. But I do see shades of Matthew Stafford

764
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: and young cam Ward two the way that you described him,

765
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: pocket manipulation, willing to read it out, take the hit,

766
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: make big time throws tough, tough. Yeah, looking forward to

767
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: seeing him. Other thoughts on that matchup before I spin

768
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: it forward?

769
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 3: Let me see if I can get it.

770
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 2: Where do you go?

771
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 3: Tayler Davis? Wow?

772
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 2: Where do you get the sack, big.

773
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: Fellou fist calling his shot. Remember, Brandon told us during

774
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: training camp that Tyler Davis was like the unsung hero

775
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: of that defense, and he shows up with his first

776
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: full sack in week one.

777
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 4: Dude, you have a a dearth of good interior defense

778
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 4: alignment and that should make you more multiple and unpredictable

779
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 4: if you're Chris Shulan, because you can line those guys

780
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 4: up anywhere and in different combinations, and then sprinkle in

781
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 4: all those edge rushers plus Stuart off the edge. He

782
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 4: looks like he's been here for a while, like it's

783
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 4: not too big for him. Yeah, that's another guy that

784
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 4: can give Byron Young or Jared versus a chance to

785
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 4: catch your breath and not lose a step on the field.

786
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 3: I thought that was a tremendous.

787
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: Question for you with the addition of Puniford and Tyler

788
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: Davis in your two. Is that part of why we

789
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: saw branden Fisk widening out his alignments.

790
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 4: Somebody's got to bump out if you've got Poona and

791
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 4: Tyler Devi And they had both of those guys, those

792
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 4: big dudes, Poona and Tyler Davis in the A gaps

793
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 4: and they went nowhere. They went nowhere, So Braden Fisk

794
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 4: has to be put somewhere. So put them out at end.

795
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 4: So you have a interior guy playing out over the

796
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 4: tackle on a rundown. Oh that's a win for us.

797
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 4: That's a win for the Rams. And then he led

798
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 4: the team in sacks. He's a pass rush threat. So

799
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 4: I think you have a lot of good interior guys

800
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 4: that you can move around, which should make you very

801
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 4: very hard to predict on game day.

802
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 2: It's kind of like a running back by committee when

803
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 2: you have a multiple guys that can rush the quarterback

804
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 2: and you can just throw waves at people like, oh,

805
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 2: here'll give you this matchup this week. Up, we're gonna

806
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 2: do this that. Oh, and the in the game, we're

807
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 2: gonna flip and go to this. It just puts because

808
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 2: offensive linemen have to study each pass rusher because each

809
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 2: passers have had certain things they do well. If I

810
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 2: have to switch, if I'm going against Fisk or Puna Ford,

811
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 2: I have to play that different, right, So now I

812
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 2: have to mentally, I have to You're I'm making these

813
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,479
Speaker 2: offensive linemen think not only just what play they have

814
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 2: or if it's a pass play, but how am I

815
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 2: going to set this guy. Is it strong? And you

816
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 2: do have to be more for a nest. It just

817
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 2: plays mind games when you have a ton of guys

818
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 2: that can rush.

819
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 3: This a game bowl for player that can.

820
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 2: I give this the bowl, Lummer, get it.

821
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, you start at as the backup and you wind

822
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 4: up as the starting left guard, and then you play

823
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 4: go forward to the other guard.

824
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks better in the run game than in

825
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: pass pro.

826
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 2: Is that's fair? Not fair? Definitely? Doesn't that track from

827
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 2: last season as well? Yeah?

828
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially presstonto duty as opposed to being part of

829
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: the game plan and that and your offense be built

830
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: around what you know you're getting.

831
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 4: Yes, I think this week it might be smart to

832
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 4: keep up a few more guards just in case.

833
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 1: Interesting whereas you had both reserved tackles available last week, well,

834
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: I mean it's good to know what you have in

835
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: alert Jackson. I mean that was as much as we

836
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: talked about Matthew Stafford playing strong and playing to his

837
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: form in week one, that was equally important. Right, your

838
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 1: left tackle showing.

839
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 3: Up didn't have to call his name one time. That's right,

840
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 3: this is what he does. We talked about.

841
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 2: It was it was it this this all season about

842
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 2: how important it was getting him locked in.

843
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: Because that was step one was renewing vows with Stafford

844
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: and then right neck.

845
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 3: You got to get him.

846
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, ver thing Man probably the most underrated offensive lineman

847
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 2: in the NFL.

848
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 3: What he's been able to do.

849
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 2: It brought me back to just saying that brought me

850
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 2: back to him against Miles Garrett when he had when

851
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 2: he had the help make stuck. Yeah, I was frustrated

852
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 2: too if I was Miles because he was getting clamped up.

853
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 2: And that's what you get, like, that's you don't find

854
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 2: those guys all the time.

855
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 3: That's an undrafted guy.

856
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: You got Just looking down the schedule this week, some

857
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: interesting games. You got the DK metcalf for contests. Pittsburgh's

858
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: got a chance to send the Seahawks to zero and

859
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: two our super Bowl coordinators and meeting in Minneapolis. KOC

860
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,720
Speaker 1: and the Vikings with a new quarterback against Rohie Morris

861
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: and the Falcons.

862
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 3: That's gonna be fun.

863
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,359
Speaker 1: Arizona chance to start quickly again. What else is new?

864
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,919
Speaker 1: Top half of their schedule is always seemingly successful. They've

865
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,320
Speaker 1: got Carolina at home after beating New Orleans, so Arizona

866
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: could be two and zero. Here's another I've seen enough

867
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: or whatever it was, Who cares, stupid game. Arizona is

868
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 1: the biggest challenger to LA in the West.

869
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 2: I need to see more.

870
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:35,919
Speaker 3: I do.

871
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 4: Kyler Murray is he's the King of September and that

872
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 4: I mean that with all sincerity. He always looks good,

873
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 4: he looks dangerous, and then something happens.

874
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 3: He's so disrespectful and that's what he went to say.

875
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 2: It was no disrespect right, you go to disrespect him?

876
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 2: I get it. They I I think last year I

877
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,879
Speaker 2: was more concerned about Arizona than I am this year.

878
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 2: No way, because they're not as physical, they're not as

879
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 2: thirteen like I didn't. They were running the ball, but

880
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 2: it was it didn't look like the team that we

881
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 2: saw last year in this time like last like we

882
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 2: played them this week it was forty forty to zero, like,

883
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 2: oh we have a problem, Like this team doesn't look

884
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 2: like that.

885
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,760
Speaker 1: I think their defenses for real, though.

886
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 3: It's better, you're supposed to treat the norms like that.

887
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: Though okayre too. Yes, I'm just saying be careful with Arizona.

888
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 3: The corners are legit. The Michigan Corners legit, Yeah, for sure.

889
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 1: Before we get to Philly, Philly has to go to

890
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 1: Kansas City. Kansas City needs a win coming back from

891
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: Brazil at zho to one.

892
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 3: Without a receiver, beat them all up.

893
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm hoping for double ot in that game on

894
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 4: triple Yes, keep going.

895
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 1: And then I'm really curious to see how Houston bounces

896
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,280
Speaker 1: back at home against an NFC contender in Tampa Bay.

897
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,800
Speaker 1: That's one of those early season games that could have real, big,

898
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: outsized implications in the NFC playoff picture at the end.

899
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 2: Do you want to know what's funny? Tampa just knows

900
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:58,720
Speaker 2: how to beat certain people. They have Philly's number. Philly

901
00:35:58,719 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 2: doesn't want to play Tampa ever.

902
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:00,919
Speaker 3: They don't.

903
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 2: Detroit doesn't want to play Tampa ever either. For whatever reason,

904
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 2: the Rams love Tampa. Yeah, And it's just one of

905
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 2: those things where like I don't know, and I'll say this,

906
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say this on TV tonight, but Green Bay

907
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 2: is gonna win the North. You think it's over, You've

908
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 2: seen enough.

909
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:16,760
Speaker 3: I've seen it already.

910
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 2: It's just one is.

911
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 3: That how much before week one?

912
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: But how much of that is them?

913
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 2: Right?

914
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: Is Micah and what's already there. How much of that

915
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: is who first return on the rest of that division.

916
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: You're anticipating the Detroit step back.

917
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:36,320
Speaker 2: Well, this is I would say seventy thirty seventy percent

918
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 2: of everyone else, thirty percent of green Bay and the

919
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 2: reason being. The reason being is Detroit lost all their coordinators.

920
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 2: They don't look like they're in sync, which.

921
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: It might be a week one overreaction.

922
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 2: It could be. It could be, but you just don't know,

923
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 2: Like they just didn't look good right, and green Bay

924
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 2: handled them. Then in Minnesota that was kind of like that.

925
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 2: That whole game was kind of like, who's gonna make

926
00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 2: the play to win this thing? Because we neither of

927
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 2: those one of us mistakes there was once to win

928
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 2: this We're just we're gonna run an r PO or

929
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 2: read option in our.

930
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:07,399
Speaker 3: Quarterbacks and are like, good play.

931
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was, but it's just like two young quarterbacks

932
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 2: still learning. And then you have another organ another organ Detroit.

933
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 2: They just they got a lot of turnover and it's

934
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 2: not like the turnover here. They lost eight coaches. Think

935
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,359
Speaker 2: about that a culture change. It's a culture change.

936
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 1: It's a pretty big week one head to head to

937
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 1: put in your pocket. Too, Yes, anything else, I'm done.

938
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 2: Let me I've seen here.

939
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 3: I need to talk to No, I have one more

940
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:33,879
Speaker 3: thing today. I have one more thing to say.

941
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,879
Speaker 2: I'm still waiting for our We're we're waiting for Kira

942
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 2: not to take every snap.

943
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we're still waiting. This just hasn't happened yet.

944
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: Can I sorry you brought something else that I wanted

945
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 1: to ask. There's a discrepancy between how he's graded in

946
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 1: past protection and what we feel and we see every week.

947
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 1: Like the reason why he doesn't give way is because

948
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: he takes care of business back there and cleans up pockets.

949
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 1: At least I think that's.

950
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 3: What we missed one. He missed one in Houston.

951
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 1: He missed it or he was late scanning over.

952
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:03,800
Speaker 2: No, no, the late scanning over one and the problem

953
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 2: that was fine, That wasn't the issue. It was the

954
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 2: one where the guy came up in the a gap

955
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 2: and he cut up great. I'm just saying that.

956
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 1: I think part of the reason, maybe even the biggest

957
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 1: reason why he's in there down in is because he's

958
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: the one you can trust, especially in the reguard. But

959
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,359
Speaker 1: like PFF or whatever, they don't give him his due

960
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 1: and pass pro So where's the truth?

961
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think no, I think it's more on our side.

962
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 2: I will say he the one where he came late.

963
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 2: He wanted to go right away, but like he hesitated,

964
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:32,760
Speaker 2: and so Stafford's dropping.

965
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 3: You have to.

966
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 2: Now I don't want to get in the quarterbacks drop right,

967
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 2: But I don't know how many times have we seen

968
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 2: Kyron just create the pocket right by blocking and yet

969
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 2: and so that to me more on that than I

970
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 2: do what I saw in Houston.

971
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 1: I do also really like the screen game, the hints

972
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,439
Speaker 1: of an emerging screen game that we saw in week one,

973
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: including the one the Parkinson that got put on the ground.

974
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: Like I consider that part of you know, the tight

975
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,359
Speaker 1: end delay. I think that's part of the portfolio, and

976
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,320
Speaker 1: that it hit it turned into a fumble, unfortunately because

977
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:08,399
Speaker 1: you know their linebacker. Great play, But I do like that.

978
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,879
Speaker 1: Hopefully coming back to life here in twenty five. All right,

979
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: safe travels to Nashville, see you guys there week two,

980
