1 00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, welcome to Between the Horns. It is Wednesday, 2 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 1: November fourteenth, A Mile Simmons here with Serena Morales from 3 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 1: Colorado Springs, Colorado. We're actually sitting outside at the resort 4 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,239 Speaker 1: right now. Not a bad site, not a bad site. 5 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:20,280 Speaker 1: I mean we're right by a lake. You know, there's 6 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 1: like some waterfalls off from the distance here, like you know, 7 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,920 Speaker 1: little wave pools or whatever. This is quite the pretty 8 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 1: same mountains. As you describe the scene as best as possible, 9 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 1: I don't think I'm doing a very good job. But 10 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 1: like honestly, as we look like over to our right 11 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 1: or whatever, they're just mountains and mountains, snowcapped mountains, and 12 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: it's really beautiful here. Um. And it's just really been 13 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: an interesting week, I think, Serena, it's a nice place 14 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: to be because of all the crazy right that's gone on. Yes, 15 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 1: I mean to sort of recap where we are at 16 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: this point. Um. We all know by now that the 17 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: Rams are playing their game against Kansas City Chiefs at 18 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: the lost a Just Memorial Coliseum instead of a Mexico City, 19 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: which I mean, it's unfortunate in a lot of respects. 20 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: I think Kevin Dumoff put it really, really well the 21 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,479 Speaker 1: other day yesterday when he was saying, you know, we 22 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: were excited as an organization about playing in Mexico City totally, 23 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: but there's also this element of, you know, there's definitely 24 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: a level of excitement that this game is going to 25 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: be played in Los Angeles. It's such a marquee game 26 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: between two nine and one teams, and the guys are 27 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: super excited to go home, like and play a yeah 28 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: again in front of La fans. It was a home 29 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: game anyway, I think that, Yeah, you're tortually right, Like 30 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: the players were excited to go and play in Mexico 31 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: and try something new and be out there, and obviously 32 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: we're here in Colorado Springs to train leading up to that, 33 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: so there was a lot of planning involved. However, a 34 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: Monday night football game under the lights against you know, 35 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: a top team like the Chiefs, like this is going 36 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: to be such an exciting game and like it'll be 37 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,559 Speaker 1: cool to see all the buzz back home after again 38 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: dealing with a really crazy week of both the fires 39 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: and the shooting that took place near the practice facility 40 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: in Thousand Oaks. Yeah, and that's why it's almost been 41 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: a maybe a blessing in disguise that we're out here 42 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: this week, you know, maybe just to get away from 43 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: that a little bit. I mean, there's still fires that 44 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 1: were going up when we were leaving the facility on Monday, 45 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,239 Speaker 1: and you know, obviously our thoughts are with everybody who 46 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: was dealing with that, and you know, we pray for 47 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,119 Speaker 1: everything that a successful outcome, as much as it can 48 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,519 Speaker 1: be in these kinds of situations, a positive outcome, I 49 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: guess I should say. But it's just been this, really 50 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: one thing right after another, week, this this, and I mean, 51 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 1: you got a great win in that time over the 52 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: Seattle Seaks thirty six thirty one on Sunday. But I 53 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: think just now being here and being in this setting, 54 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 1: it's kind of like everybody, it's a lot everybody, I think, 55 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: to take sort of a step back and say, okay, regroup. Yeah, 56 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 1: we're gonna be all right, and you know what, we're 57 00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: gonna be able to go home and we're gonna have 58 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: this really great game in front of what should be 59 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: a really fraucous Los Angeles crowd. Yeah. And to note 60 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: that the RAMS will be providing thousands of complimentary tickets 61 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: to the first responderss who have been bravely protecting you know, 62 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: La throughout this whole week. So we're looking forward to 63 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: having like a really great crowd and we're so thankful. 64 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: So it's cool that the organization, the RAMS are doing 65 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 1: their best to like make sure that we look out 66 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 1: for those who have been looking out for us. Absolutely, 67 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: I think that's a great way of putting it. So 68 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,359 Speaker 1: for more on the ticketing information and everything like that, 69 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: you should definitely visit the rams dot com. That's going 70 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: to have the most up to date information, the most 71 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: accurate information, and that's where you want to be to 72 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: get everything like that. So let's start talking a little 73 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: bit of football. But we've got to start with something 74 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: also that was very unfortunate that happened in that last 75 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: game in the victory over Seattle, where he had Cooper 76 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: Cup go down with an ACL torn ACL. He's going 77 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: to be out for the rest of the season, and 78 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: it's just very unfortunate because he is such a big 79 00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: part of that Los Angeles offense that it's would have 80 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: hard to kind of overstate what he meant and it's 81 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: a huge loss for the team. I mean, yeah, you 82 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: with having and we talked about this having you know, 83 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks and Cooper Cup and Robert Woods out there 84 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: with Jared. Like I think i'd you know, done the 85 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: stats for five games, not including the last game they 86 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: play in the Seahouse, they have a combined like ten touchdowns. 87 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 1: You know, Jared throws an average of three hundred and 88 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: fifty nine yards like when the three of them are 89 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 1: on the field playing a full game. So it is 90 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: a huge loss losing Cooper Cup the rest of the season. 91 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: But that being said, it'll be interesting how the team adjusts, 92 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 1: right and now you know, how Josh Reynolds steps up 93 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: into that position. Do we see someone like Pharrell Cooper 94 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: come in you know some of the male bad questions 95 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: that we took, you know, do we end up seeing 96 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 1: a different personnel going out there on offense? So yeah, 97 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot that's going to have to 98 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 1: come from this, And I think one of the things 99 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: that McVay said that is a little bit positive to 100 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: come out of the situation is that Josh Reynolds, they 101 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: feel like, is a starting caliber wide receiver and we've 102 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: seen him fill in. We've seen him come in and 103 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 1: do some really good things. Especially earlier on in the 104 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: year when Cooper Cup had to come out with that 105 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: knee injury that he had already touched down game in 106 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: the Coliseum exactly, And that's huge and that's something that 107 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 1: I think they can really build off of. But Cooper 108 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 1: Cup is such a huge part of the offense because 109 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: he does so much. You know, he's taking jet sweeps, 110 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 1: he's blocking down field really really well, and blocking at 111 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage really really well, which is part 112 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: of what allows the Rams to be in the personnel 113 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 1: grouping that they're in all the time with one running 114 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: back from one tight end and three wide receivers, because 115 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 1: those wide receivers are not necessarily acting as solely as 116 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: wide receivers, right exactly. I mean Todd Gurley was saying 117 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: this last week two weeks ago, I kind of exactly remember, 118 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: But he's like, you know, you don't often see wide 119 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: receivers blocking the way that these guys block, and Cooper 120 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: Cup is such a huge part of that. And there's 121 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: just such a comfort level that you can tell he 122 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: and Jared Goff have And it's not that he doesn't 123 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,840 Speaker 1: have that with like guys like Cooks and Woods, it's 124 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: very special though. It's really really special, and so it's 125 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 1: it's a significant law. I think the Rams are going 126 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: to be okay because they've got so many different weapons 127 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: on offense. But I'm an adjustment period knowing that he 128 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: is out right because before when we you know, Cooper 129 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: Cup was out, it was a concussion and then he 130 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: had that injury, but he had recovered from the knee 131 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: his knee injury. But yes, now it's it was like 132 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: we always had the assumption he was going to come back. 133 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: Like it was never like we lost him for the season. 134 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: Right now, this is obviously something that you know, it 135 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,679 Speaker 1: does affect Jared and the offensive and actually the overall defense. 136 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: It's so Marcus Peters be like, oh, good luck to 137 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 1: you know, my boy Cooper Cup. Like this is a 138 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: significant loss of the team. Yeah it is. And I 139 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: thought I thought that was one thing that was really 140 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: nice just to see the response from all his teammates, 141 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,279 Speaker 1: you know, on Twitter, social media, Instagram, whatever it is. 142 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: You know, they're posting pictures, they're saying, hey, gat Man, 143 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: you're going to come back stronger than ever from this, 144 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: and that I think it also shows the kind of 145 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 1: connected team that this is because it's like you said, 146 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 1: it wasn't just offensive guys, they're defensive guys that were 147 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 1: posting those things too. And like, I know, it's social 148 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: media and you can say whatever you want about that, 149 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: but I think it still does mean something. Yeah, they 150 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: don't have to post anything exactly, but they're all those 151 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: things exactly exactly. But I'm one person that you mentioned 152 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: was Pharrell Cooper, and Pharrell Cooper is coming off of 153 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: the injured reserve. So as we record this right now 154 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: on Wednesday, he has not been taken off. Let me 155 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: put it this way, he has not been activated to 156 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: the fifty three man roster, which they have a little 157 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: bit of time in order to do that. After the 158 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: person is designated to return, he's got some time to 159 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: be able to practice before then they make that determination 160 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: of whether they're going to be active on the roster 161 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: or not. But I think it's only a matter of 162 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: time before that will happen for Cooper. Pharrell Cooper, which 163 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: is always you know, the Pharrell Cooper versus Cooper Cup. 164 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: But when it comes to Farrell Cooper, I think he 165 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: slots more probably as the backup to Cooper Cup. Because 166 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: because you were taking this because he's in the slot. Yes, yeah, 167 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: because he's more of that slot guy that's slot, that 168 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: inside type receiver than a Josh Reynolds does. And it's 169 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: not that the Rams don't have interchangeable wide receivers. They 170 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: always talk about this, and so Robert Woods in that regard, 171 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: he can play the position that he's used to playing 172 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: and not having to fill in, you know, for Cooper 173 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: Cup exactly that. And so that's why I think when 174 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: we saw Josh Reynolds fill in a little bit the 175 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: last him, but it was more or less you have 176 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: Robert Woods playing inside more of that Cooper Cup role 177 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: and then Reynolds outside more of the usual Robert Woods role. 178 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: I think if I think that's probably what they're going 179 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: to keep doing. But then a lot of times we 180 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: saw on those third downs Nick Williams would come in 181 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: and then he fill in on that spot as well. 182 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: So there are different things that the Rams can do 183 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: in order to make sure that they're in the best 184 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 1: position possible for making plays on offense. And yeah, and 185 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: speaking of making plays on offense using our tight ends more, 186 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: it was one of your techaways, like the fact that 187 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 1: we have a lot of different options on offense, not 188 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: just obviously losing Cooper Cup, but having you know, our 189 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: wideouts are super strong with and without him, But now 190 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: using you know both Tyler Hagbee and Gerald Everett. They 191 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,079 Speaker 1: both gave us touchdowns in that game against Seattle, so 192 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:02,959 Speaker 1: you do see that we have a lot of options, 193 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: also bringing someone in like Malcolm Brown and let maybe 194 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: having two running backs out there at the same time. Yeah, 195 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: that was an interesting question. We got that on mailbag, 196 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: you know that might we see that kind of thing 197 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: more different personnel groupings within the offense. I mean, you 198 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,839 Speaker 1: watch the Rams this year you probably know because we 199 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: mentioned it all the time that they are basically exclusively 200 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 1: in eleven personnel, so one running back, one tight end, 201 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: and then three wide receivers. When I think the biggest 202 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: question has always been Okay, well why don't we see 203 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: more of this? Why don't we see more of that? 204 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:32,839 Speaker 1: It's always been okay, well who do you take off 205 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: the field in order to change that personnel grouping? Because 206 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: all these guys are really really good, right, So if 207 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup is hurt, which now he is, and he's 208 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 1: going to be out, which he is, that I think 209 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: might change things a little bit. So that maybe you 210 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: do see a little bit more twelve personnel, maybe you 211 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: do see maybe some twenty one personnel with both Malcolm 212 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 1: Brown and Todd Gurley on the field, and that could 213 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: give defenses some fits. Yeah, definitely. Yeah. And obviously Sean 214 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 1: mcfagh is going to match up depending on what team 215 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: we're playing and how they're going to line up like defensively. 216 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: So I think there is a it'll be really interesting 217 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: to see going forward, maybe we're not necessarily in the 218 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: standard eleven personnel on offense. Yeah, And I think that 219 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: that's just really an interesting element of everything that's going 220 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 1: to have to happen for this team going forward on offense. 221 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 1: One thing that like I think is really interesting about 222 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: the whole eleven personnel discussion, Like when we're talking to 223 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: Seahawks coach Pee Carroll last week on the conference call, 224 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: I asked him, does it make it more difficult when 225 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: you know you only see this same personnel grouping and 226 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: anything can come from it? And he's like, Oh, I 227 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,319 Speaker 1: think it makes it almost a little bit easier because 228 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: then you always know what's coming. So that's I don't know, 229 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's really true, right, No, but 230 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 1: because we use Like I was looking at the stats 231 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:50,079 Speaker 1: from last week, like Brandon Cooks had a rushing touchdown. Right, 232 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: It's not like we're using our whiteouts as whiteouts per se. 233 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: They're blocking, they're you know, we're getting rushing touchdowns. It's 234 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 1: not like we're being utilized necessarily in a standard eleven 235 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: person no, right, exactly. So that's I think it's it's two. 236 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: There are two different way schools of thought when thinking 237 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: about that, right, Like, yes, you do know who's coming, 238 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: but I think you don't necessarily know what's coming, right, 239 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,559 Speaker 1: how they each player is going to be used sextually. 240 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 1: That's what makes our offense so great because guys can 241 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: interchange positions. They're playing more of concept versus exact play 242 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: this role, you play that role exactly. That's exactly it. 243 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: So I mean like you can say that all you 244 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: want to carol with, then the Rams will score thirty 245 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: six points on you. So it's like, I mean, I 246 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: just I thought it was such a kind of a 247 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: weird answer. As we like as we get into our 248 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: look back here over the thirty with the thirty six 249 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: thirty one victory over Seattle, I thought that was just 250 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 1: a super interesting element to what he said, and then 251 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: you know, to go out there and then the Rams 252 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: perform the way they perform, Like I don't know, man, 253 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 1: it just it didn't seem like you're like, huh yeah, yeah, 254 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 1: because like usually coaches do say like, oh, you know, 255 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,319 Speaker 1: like if you were only looking at one personnel grouping, 256 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 1: it makes it different. Cool, and it's okay, you can 257 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: take what the Saints do and what Sean Payton doesn't 258 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 1: really what Kansas City does too. There's so many different 259 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 1: personnel groupings that it's like, oh no, what am I 260 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: looking at? Sure, but at the same and that's how 261 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: they kind of like mess with your mind. But in 262 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: the same way the Rams mess with your mind because 263 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: they're only doing like they've only got the same people 264 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: out there all the time, right, So it's I don't know, 265 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: but those three guys could do ten different things right, 266 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: right exactly. Plus you know Todd Gurley, oh and the 267 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: Todd Gurley and the Todd Gurley factor. But like we 268 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: mentioning the tight ends and how they came through against Seattle, 269 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: that was huge because if there's one thing I think 270 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: that you and I probably get questioned on the most, 271 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: it's like, what are they going to get the tight 272 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: ends more mobled? When are they get to the tight 273 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: ends more involved? Well, I think we've really started to 274 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 1: see it in the last few weeks and that's why 275 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: Tyler Higby gets a touchdown. Jill Everett also gets a 276 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 1: really nice touchdown early in that game. Yeah, yeah, the 277 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: two point conversion, which is huge, you know, I mean 278 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 1: it didn't didn't oh yeah, no, it tied the game. Yeah, 279 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 1: time the game I was in New Orleans. Yeah, that 280 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 1: was huge, And so yeah, I do think that again, 281 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: and Sean MV said, this is like it's just time 282 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: and like, you know, obviously where he's just working things through, 283 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,599 Speaker 1: Like you bring in someone like Brandon Cooks who is 284 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: new to our offense, like not it was so seamless. 285 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 1: I think people forget like, oh yeah, that's right. This 286 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: wasn't the same group as last year, right, adding a 287 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 1: new element who's you know, pretty much the most significant 288 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 1: guy that you would add to offense. But you know, 289 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,199 Speaker 1: and I do think, you know, with the tight ends, 290 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 1: and let's not forget because I think we often like 291 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: put him to the side. Like Robert Woods is having 292 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 1: an incredible season, right, he has already topped his career 293 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: high eight hundred and thirty two yards receiving. Now, yeah, 294 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: four receptions for day nine yards in that game against 295 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: the Seahawks, UM put him above his previous career high 296 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: of seven hundred and eighty one yards receivings. Yeah. And 297 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: we're not even done with the season. No, not even close. 298 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: Right now, the Rams are on pace to have their 299 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: first year with two guys over a thousand yards receiving 300 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,680 Speaker 1: since two thousand and six. YEP, Territory holt In Isaac 301 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 1: Bruce exactly. And so that's like, I think you're right. 302 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: You know, we talk about Robert Woods all the time, 303 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 1: but I don't think I think he in some ways 304 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: is one of the more underrated receivers in because it 305 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: seems like every week he just makes a big play 306 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: exactly when you need it. And that's something that to 307 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: me is really unique. Yeah. Yeah, and I and to 308 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: have again, um, and that's why what made the three 309 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: of these guys so special. And I think again, why 310 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: it hurts that we've lost Cooper Cup for the season, 311 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: but you know, having that consistency out of Robert Woods, 312 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: I think we need to acknowledge more than not talk 313 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: about yes, no, absolutely, And that to me is the 314 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: thing that is going to be really interesting going forward. 315 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 1: So like if we see, you know, Gerald Everett when 316 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 1: he makes that touchdown catch or when he makes Sean 317 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: McVay also pointed this out earlier this week. You know 318 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 1: that big third down and I think it was third 319 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: and one or third and three, whatever it was, but 320 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: it was early in the second half and the Rams 321 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: really needed to keep a drive going, and like Everett 322 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: just goes over the middle of the field, makes a 323 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 1: really big time catch, strong hands, catches the football over 324 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: the middle, and then gets down and gets that first down. 325 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: That is one of the significant plays in the game 326 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: that might get overlooked because it's not a touchdown because 327 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 1: it's not you know, a really big play that goes 328 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: down exactly. And that's something that when you have a 329 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: guy like Jerald Everett who can make those kinds of 330 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: plays over the middle, that's why you drafted him in 331 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 1: the second round. That's what you really envisioned, because that's 332 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: what Jordan Reid was for Sean mcvay's offense there in Washington. 333 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: Yeah and right, and so you said it, it's really 334 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: about creating, like we're having creative plays, right, using everybody, 335 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: using all five guys on offense too, you know, and 336 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: that speaks a lot to Jared Goff, who we should 337 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: talk about. Also, he was having an incredible season. Yes, 338 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: yes he is. Right now, he's second in the league 339 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: in passing yards, second to only you know the guy 340 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 1: that's coming up this week, Yeah, Patrick Mahomes. Yeah, who's 341 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: only had I was looking at Mahomes, so like, there's 342 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: only two games this season where he's thrown under three 343 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: hundred yards, and that was the first game against the Chargers, 344 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: which he still had four passing touchdowns, and then again 345 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: last week last week in Arizona where he had two 346 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: but two forty nine and two fifty six. But that's 347 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: an incredible season. Yes, he's doing great, and I think 348 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: it's fair that we only acknowledge that. But also, I mean, 349 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: like when we talk about Jared Goff, he's also having 350 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 1: that same type of year. You know, he's having an 351 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: MVP caliber season where he is averaging three hundred and 352 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: thirteen yards per game through the year, averaging two touchdown 353 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: passes per game. Right he's only thrown six picks. His 354 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: passer rating right now is at one thirteen. Which is very, 355 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: very very high. You know, you think about guys like 356 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, their their career passer ratings are basically like 357 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: one oh five, and that's incredible. So I think right now, 358 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: what sort of gets lost is how good Jared Goff 359 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: is playing. Yeah, yeah, you're right, and it probably gets 360 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,719 Speaker 1: lost because we have this guy called Tyler Todd Gurley 361 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 1: who is doing so well and consistently giving us a 362 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 1: touchdown every game, right, it's unbelievable. Yeah, but he's doing that. 363 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: I think last game you saw some really big time 364 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 1: throws by Jared Goff, basically in those rhythm and timings 365 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: of the plays, like the first touchdown to Gerald Everett 366 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 1: for instance, where he looks off that defense where he's 367 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 1: looking to his riot at Todd Gurley, and then Boomy 368 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: fires across the middle and there's Gerald Everett on that 369 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: skinny post and he just does a great job of 370 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 1: catching the ball. But I think that starts with the 371 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: way Jared Goff is able to manipulate the defense with 372 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: his eyes and do things like that. And then later on, 373 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 1: I mean, like that that throw that it was Cooper 374 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 1: cups one hundredth career reception down the left sideline, Cup 375 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 1: has to go up and get it. But like that's 376 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 1: a really, really accurate throw. And so you see things 377 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: like that at a Jared Goff week by week, and 378 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 1: it just seems like he's really just stacking blocks and 379 00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 1: taking those steps into becoming that consistent quarterback. Yeah, and 380 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: I would say, and you know, you've been around the 381 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,199 Speaker 1: team longer than I have, but there is this and 382 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 1: we say it all the time, like with Jared, for 383 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 1: him to make those accurate throws, like the most precise 384 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: throws takes a lot of sort of calm, cool, collected 385 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 1: and it's what I've seen from him all season, Like 386 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 1: I really don't ever see his level of anxiousness, Like 387 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaker 1: there's never this moment of like oh yeah, Like I 388 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: saw him today in the cafeteria very briefly here and 389 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: and he was I was looking at Patrick home Staffs 390 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 1: and he's like, yeah, he's good, isn't it. Yeah, that's very, 391 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 1: very very Jared Goff. And so I mean there is 392 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: something you know, to be said for Jared, who you 393 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 1: know is a leader on this team and has looked 394 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,439 Speaker 1: at when he's carrying himself the way he is, it 395 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: definitely sets the tone for everybody else. I agree, and 396 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 1: Sean McBay says it all the time that you know, 397 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,199 Speaker 1: we know Sean mcvagh can get really really wired, you know, 398 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,119 Speaker 1: very fired up, and he always says, you know that 399 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: when I look at Jared Golf and I see the 400 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: sense of comments like, oh okay, maybe I should probably 401 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: try to be more like that. It's a good symbiotic relationship. 402 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 1: It works out really really well for the both of them. 403 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: Did you get a chance to read actually that ESPN 404 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 1: the magazine article about him now about Jared? No, what 405 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: I've seen the photos. I actually like the cover photo. 406 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,400 Speaker 1: I think that's like a it's a it's a manly 407 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 1: photo of Jared, right, but he's like, yeah, bro, like 408 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 1: I'm here a little little you know, five o'clock shadow 409 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,679 Speaker 1: going a little scruff. Yeah. Yeah, it was interesting. What 410 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: was interesting to me about that? And you should definitely 411 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 1: check it out, I mean, all of you guys if 412 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,199 Speaker 1: you haven't yet. But they were basically talking about, you know, 413 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:36,159 Speaker 1: how he's grown as a quarterback, and one of the 414 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: elements that is really important to him right now is 415 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 1: basically the way he sees the field. Right, So even 416 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 1: in the first year was Sean McVay. Basically the point 417 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,160 Speaker 1: was was, it's okay, you have different reads and so 418 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: sometimes you don't necessarily go high to low. You might 419 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 1: go low to high, like, Okay, I'm gonna get this 420 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 1: thing to the check down, maybe a little bit faster 421 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 1: than I should. But it's only because you know, you 422 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: don't necessarily have all the tools in your arsenal, because 423 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: you don't have the experience of going against different teams, 424 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,640 Speaker 1: different defenses, etc. In this system. And then now what 425 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: you see with golf is that he's able to really 426 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: see the field and he can play the percentage is better, 427 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:16,919 Speaker 1: it's what he's saying, so he knows like when he 428 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,199 Speaker 1: lines up, he can see something and say, Okay, that 429 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: route's not going to be there, but I can still 430 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 1: look over there and manipulate the defense and then say, okay, 431 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 1: that's where I know my guy is going to be 432 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 1: and where he's going to be open. So it's really 433 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 1: interesting just how that maturation process of a quarterback and 434 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 1: doesn't that affect the defenses who last year play against 435 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 1: him and they're like, oh, wait a minute, when he 436 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: looks this way, that doesn't mean he's going to throw 437 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 1: this way. Now right exactly, And that's where you know, 438 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 1: you see the high level quarterbacking really start to come 439 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 1: in because it's just like it's it makes it that 440 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: much tougher to go against a guy when he is 441 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 1: doing things like that. But I think you also, just 442 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,640 Speaker 1: as you're saying, you see the leadership qualities from him 443 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 1: just when he's around, you know, and I think you've 444 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: seen that for sure. Yeah, absolutely, and again, and like 445 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: for the fact that he's still you know, a pretty 446 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 1: down to earth kind of guy who's you know, having 447 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 1: an MVP caliber season, you know, for him to carry 448 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 1: himself the way that he does and joke and be 449 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: very lighthearted is it's it's pretty cool to experience. Yeah, 450 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 1: I think it is, especially you know when you look 451 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: at what he's doing and what Todd Gurley is doing 452 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 1: at the same time. Ridiculous, it is. And Todd had 453 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,880 Speaker 1: kind of a quiet one hundred twenty yards rushing quiet 454 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: is there is there such a thing? And it really 455 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: went right because Jared had such a great game and 456 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 1: making those throws like it was actually incredible then right 457 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 1: and and and again, like we you know a lot 458 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: of the fans will sending their questions and be like, 459 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: what what about the tight ends. We're not using our 460 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 1: tight ends. So now we've got two touchdowns, you know, 461 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 1: each from our tight ends, and all of a sudden, 462 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: Todd Gurley has one hundred and twenty yards and it 463 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 1: was quiet, yes, exactly, but I think it was kind 464 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,120 Speaker 1: of quiet because it was like, Okay, he didn't have 465 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,040 Speaker 1: the big breakaway runs, you know, so it was the 466 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: longest run of the day was seventeen yards, but he 467 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: still only took sixteen carries to get to one hundred 468 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 1: and twenty. I never worry about his yardage because I'm like, dude, 469 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: could get the ball in the red zone and score 470 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: every time, so he could have twenty yards and have 471 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,159 Speaker 1: two three touchdowns in the game. So I'm like, I 472 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: don't know, I'm never really concerned about Todd's Like i mean, 473 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,639 Speaker 1: for all the fantasy you know, guys who you know 474 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: drafted him, like that's very happy with the touchdown, totally right. 475 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: But I'm like everyone's like, oh man, you think I'll 476 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 1: have another one hundred yard game. I'm like, dude, he's 477 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,919 Speaker 1: gonna score, like who It's true, and like that's some 478 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,440 Speaker 1: one of the things I think that Sean McVay talks about, 479 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 1: you know where sometimes the numbers can be deceiving, right. 480 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: The thing that he always talks about the most is 481 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: you want to have an efficient offense. So whether that 482 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 1: means you're running the ball effectively down the field or 483 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 1: you're throwing it, it it doesn't matter. The only thing that 484 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 1: matters is, Okay, how many yards are you getting per play? Yeah? 485 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 1: How many third down conversions are you getting in the game. 486 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,360 Speaker 1: And so those are the things that help talk about 487 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 1: your offensive efficiency and they translate into points as well. 488 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: So it's interesting in that way. Yeah, And they're so selfless, 489 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 1: like even you know, I go back to the Green 490 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,879 Speaker 1: Bay game, which was so close and Todd Gurley not 491 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 1: running in for that touchdown, like running the clock out, 492 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: Like I don't need the extra touchdown, Like all I 493 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: need is to like not get the ball into Aaron 494 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 1: Rodgers hands so that he can throw some crazy hill 495 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: mary right, Like we just want to keep the ball 496 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: out of you know, guys like Aaron Rodgers and and 497 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 1: you know, coming up Patrick Mahomes's hands, right, Like we 498 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: don't want them having the ball. So like there is 499 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:36,399 Speaker 1: a very selfless offense that we've experienced this season. Do 500 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: you do you like the name for that situation, the rolex. 501 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 1: That's good because the time is more important than the points. Awesome, Yeah, 502 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: that's yeah, that's that's a nice lilt. Sean McVeigh is, 503 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 1: that's good. There's so many of those out to Hallieberry. 504 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I don't meant to talk about that with golf, Like, okay, 505 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,920 Speaker 1: did you know that the Hallieberry thing wasn't audible? Because 506 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 1: you're closer to everything than I am going on, I 507 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: knew that I heard Halle Berry, but yeah, that's all 508 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,120 Speaker 1: I knew. I didn't know what they were running or anything. Yeah, 509 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: it was amazing. And just the fact that Jared if 510 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: you guys didn't see his tweet, he said, oh yeah, 511 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 1: this is my favorite, Yeah, my favorite play ever ever. 512 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 1: I think probably his like highest retweeted slash favorite tweet 513 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: that he's ever put up forgetting on his Twitter game. 514 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Well everybody basically clowned him for it, but 515 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 1: that's fine, which they should have. And then Sean McVeigh 516 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: on his Monday press conference was like, it's my one 517 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: of my favorite plays too, Halle It's my really awful 518 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: Sean McVay, im pressure that I hope he never ever hears, 519 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:37,200 Speaker 1: so he does actually listen to a lot of our stuff, 520 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 1: So he watches all the pressers. Yeah, i'll probably read 521 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 1: familiar set it that out. Okay, at least he knows 522 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: who we are, right, Yeah, But like to get back 523 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: to Gurly though, that was his fifth game with over 524 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: one hundred yards rushing and so right now, I mean 525 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: he's leading the league in so many different categories. Yes, points, 526 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,919 Speaker 1: rushing yards, rushing attempts, rushing touch downs, yards from scrimmage, 527 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: total touches, total touch that like it. Yes, I think 528 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 1: that's actually right. Yes, points than the Bills. I think 529 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:16,360 Speaker 1: he still does Yeah, because like which is kind of ridiculous. 530 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,159 Speaker 1: Although Matt Barkley shout out to him, I guess you know, 531 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,679 Speaker 1: usc guy's doing doing the due last week for the 532 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,679 Speaker 1: Bills against the Jets. But when you look at Gurly season, 533 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 1: I think it's almost hard to say that he is 534 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: not one of the top three most valuable players in 535 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,920 Speaker 1: the league. Like, and you know Patrick Mahomes, who will 536 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 1: talk about more in a minute. He obviously I think 537 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 1: if we're going to call this like a quarterback award, 538 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 1: then yes, Patrick Mahomes is doing what he's doing, and 539 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 1: he's been better at it basically than anybody else in 540 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: this league. Right, Yeah, But if you look at what 541 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 1: Todd Gurley is doing, I think when you are leading 542 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 1: the league in carries and you're also still getting five 543 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,119 Speaker 1: yards per carry, there's something to be said for that, 544 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: because that's unusual in this day and age in the NFL, 545 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: it's insane. And again, if you put him on any 546 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,120 Speaker 1: other team where he needs to be more heavily relied 547 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 1: upon one, it could be like imagine the numbers he's 548 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,679 Speaker 1: putting up. But also, right, it's the fact that we 549 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: have such a strong offense overall that it allows him 550 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 1: to not be double teamed all the time, right, because 551 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,440 Speaker 1: it's like, who do I actually have to cover? Right 552 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: on defense? You're trying to figure out, is it Brandon Cooks, 553 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 1: is it Robert Woods? Is it one of the tight ends? 554 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: Is it couldn't be Todd Gurley? So I actually think 555 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 1: this is a perfect place. But some guys are like, oh, 556 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,400 Speaker 1: Todd Gurley can't score as many touchdows. I'm like, no, man, 557 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 1: because there are so many other things to worry about 558 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 1: that he has to He's open getting it open, right, No, 559 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 1: that's that's the thing because when you look at the 560 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,479 Speaker 1: way defenses are trying to stop the Rams, they basically 561 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,920 Speaker 1: have to use their nickel packages the entire time because 562 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,200 Speaker 1: the Rams are always in the eleven personnel. So what 563 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: that does is it allows the Rams to maybe spread 564 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: the field out a little bit more and then give 565 00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 1: Gurly those running lanes. And because Girly such an incredible 566 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,160 Speaker 1: run threat, when you have the Rams go under center, 567 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,879 Speaker 1: they almost always when they're running a passing play, do 568 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: a play action fake. And what it does is it 569 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 1: holds the defenders on the second level so that your 570 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: guys like Brandon Cookes and Robert Woods can get behind 571 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 1: there and get into that little space that they've always 572 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 1: got between the second and third level and boom, Jared 573 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,399 Speaker 1: Goff throws a completion. It's the way this offense works. 574 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: It's like a machine and it is so interesting to 575 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 1: see weekend and week out. Yeah, and Gurly can also 576 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,640 Speaker 1: catch the ball, yes, like he did in the last game. 577 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 1: He had a couple of screens that went for big 578 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,640 Speaker 1: yardage and so that's why he got forty yards receiving 579 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,400 Speaker 1: to give him that one hundred sixty yards from scrimmage, 580 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,440 Speaker 1: which again, like when you're talking about Girly, he's gone 581 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,399 Speaker 1: over one hundred and fifty yards from scrimmage and the 582 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 1: majority of the RAMS games this season. That's pretty unheard of. 583 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: So I don't know, man, do you think he's the MVP? 584 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: Would you call him the MVP? You're what at this point? Absolutely? 585 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:55,919 Speaker 1: I just think the way the right your most valuable player, 586 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:59,160 Speaker 1: like what he has done for our offense to give 587 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: us shins. Again, like if everyone's going to cover Todd Gurley, 588 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 1: then that's fine. You know, Jared Goff has no problem 589 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 1: throwing the ball to any of the other wide receivers 590 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,439 Speaker 1: out there or tight end. So I do think that. 591 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 1: And I think with our team specifically, because we put 592 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: padding on our on offense, the defense has time to 593 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,120 Speaker 1: adjust because we've seen this a lot in games, right, 594 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: and there's the conversation of our defense, but we can 595 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 1: get to that, but it we see our defense always 596 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: adjust at halftime because Wade Phillips obviously can you know, 597 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,199 Speaker 1: see things and then make you know changes. And I 598 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 1: think because our offense puts up so many points to 599 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 1: give that padding, the defense has the time to be like, okay, 600 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 1: we're going to stop him in the fourth quarter, right, 601 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 1: And I think that again goes to Todd Gurley's you know, 602 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: MVP caliber season. Yeah, No, I agree. The way the 603 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: Rams score points definitely, definitely definitely helps the defense. I mean, 604 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 1: especially with the way things have gone on the last 605 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 1: couple of weeks, as we can kind of go into 606 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 1: the deep dive and take a look at the defense, 607 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 1: like two hundred and seventy three rushing yards is not good, 608 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 1: Like you can't like often, if you give up that 609 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 1: many yards rushing, you're going to lose. The Rams were 610 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: able to overcome that through you know, a variety of ways, 611 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 1: and partially it was because the Seahawks really weren't passing 612 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 1: that much, but they were still getting those chunk yardage 613 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 1: plays through the ground. The Rams have got to fix that. 614 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 1: You have to be able to play more gap sound. 615 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: And we haven't necessarily have the chance to talk to 616 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: Wade Phillips this week yet, but you have to be 617 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 1: able to play better as a run defense because otherwise 618 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 1: you're going to be you're going to get gash and 619 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: especially with this team in Kansas City, they've got different 620 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 1: guys that can wear you out in terms of you 621 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 1: know Kareem Hunt, Tyreek Hill Spencer where they've got a 622 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: bunch of guys that can do that. So yes, looking 623 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 1: at the last game, you know that if you have 624 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 1: one takeaway on defense, you've cut sure of that run defense. Yeah, 625 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 1: and I would say too, especially because someone like Patrick Mahomes, Like, 626 00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 1: you know, while Patrick Mahomes can will throw anywhere, like, 627 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 1: he's also scrambling back there. It's not like it's a 628 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 1: calm like he's finding at the time, it's he's buying 629 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 1: it himself, right, right. And so when you're getting pressure, 630 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 1: like it's really about our edge rushers right like, and 631 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 1: seeing like Sampson like get in there like because I 632 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 1: mean he's making tackles, but he's not completing them. Like 633 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 1: he's getting his hand on guys, but it's not necessarily 634 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 1: them down. And so but that's those are the tweaks 635 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 1: that need to be made. But I don't necessarily think 636 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 1: that their problems per se. It's just like, hey, you 637 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: know what you need to do, right, And I think 638 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 1: that's kind of what the issue is, right, And you 639 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 1: have to be able to execute what's been called on defense, 640 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 1: and I think we've seen the Rams do that and 641 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: it's not like the Seahawks are a poor rushing team. 642 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 1: We actually we know that they're great. Since Week three, 643 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 1: they've led the league in rushing. They've rushed for one 644 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty yards in each of their last six games. Now, 645 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 1: so that's their identity, that's what they want to do. 646 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 1: But at the same time, there are definitely things that 647 00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 1: you've got to be able to do to just say, Okay, 648 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 1: we can't allow this to happen, especially when they're starting 649 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,960 Speaker 1: running back and they're starting right guard aren't playing. That 650 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 1: is an issue and it's going to continue to be 651 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 1: one until the Rams prove that they can stop it. Yeah, 652 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,200 Speaker 1: do you think that at least we have some like 653 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 1: extra lung capacity going into this game now that we're 654 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 1: training in Colorado Springs and then going back to LA 655 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 1: like there's got it? There's going to be something to 656 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 1: be said, like I'm like, oh, I'm gonna have some good, 657 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: good air in our lung you would hope. So, I 658 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 1: don't know, do you feel like you're adjusting to the altitude? Okay, 659 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 1: up here, when I go to the gym two days 660 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 1: in a row and I'm out of breath, I sure 661 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,239 Speaker 1: do that's weird. Like I have one for a run 662 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 1: yesterday and I was like, why am I so tired? 663 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: Like I've been doing this for five minutes, and then 664 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 1: it's like, oh yeah, Like and it's not. I'm not 665 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 1: out of shape. I resent that implication. I'm not under 666 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 1: my breath, but I know I think that, yeah, the 667 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 1: rams should be able to do that, and that should 668 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,800 Speaker 1: be able to help them combat the speed in terms 669 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 1: of stopping the run. But also last week in that game, 670 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 1: you saw Aaron Donald break a record which is a 671 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 1: long standing record from our friend DeMarco Farr. He is 672 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 1: not here today, so I cannot ras him, but I 673 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 1: will trust me. But Aaron Donald, you know, went over 674 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 1: that eleven and a half sack mark for a defensive 675 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 1: tackle for a for a single season. And right now 676 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 1: he's leading the league with twelve and a half sacks, 677 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 1: which is ridiculous for a season really out of an 678 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 1: interior rusher. Right, we still got we still have games left. Yes, yes, 679 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 1: there are a lot of games left and he's still 680 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 1: out there and he's still really having the best season 681 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 1: of his life. Yeah. I mean, he just really likes 682 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 1: the backfield. He just knows it well and we're hoping 683 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 1: that we see him find it again during Monday night 684 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 1: football against the Chiefs. Yeah, you know, I mean when 685 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: you see him because I mean you know that's like 686 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 1: you have not necessarily been around him as much. What 687 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 1: stands out to you, like when you see him on 688 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:55,080 Speaker 1: the field and when he plays well, because it's it's 689 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 1: a drastic comparison when I see him in the locker room, 690 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 1: where he's a quiet, you know, well spoken, nice guy, 691 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 1: and when you see him on the field where he 692 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 1: is i mean he has a beats like he looks 693 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 1: like the incredible Hulk coming at you, which I'm so 694 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 1: grateful that I'm he's not coming at me and he's 695 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 1: going after quarterbacks. Yes, I mean he just the way 696 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 1: that he is so fast. I mean you see him, 697 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 1: I mean he's almost had you know, in some of 698 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 1: the games where you know, he didn't have a sack 699 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: in a game, like, I mean, he was so close 700 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 1: to getting there. It was just like he was right 701 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 1: on the edge of getting it. And you know, obviously 702 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 1: it's been a little more difficult to play defense these 703 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 1: days because of penalties and things like that in these 704 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 1: calls and you know, changes to the rules so yeah, 705 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 1: I mean, it's incredible to see with my eyes having 706 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 1: again Jared and Todd and and Aaron on a team 707 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,240 Speaker 1: where I'm just like, this is this is incredible. Yeah. 708 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 1: Right now, Donalds was leading the league both with twelve 709 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:53,680 Speaker 1: and a half sacks and sixteen tackles for loss Yes. Yeah, 710 00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 1: so sixteen tackles for losses already, one more than he 711 00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 1: had last year when he was the AP Defensive Player 712 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:02,440 Speaker 1: of the Year. So that kind of tells you, I think, 713 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 1: right there where he is in terms of his season's good. 714 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:07,479 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if I will call him 715 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:12,840 Speaker 1: good amazing. Yeah, it's pretty he's pretty freaking great. Um, 716 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:17,840 Speaker 1: But I think with him and now also with Dante Fowler. 717 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:22,720 Speaker 1: So you have two guys in plus two and Brockers 718 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 1: and John Franklin. Myers has gotten in there too. But 719 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 1: you traded for Dante Fowler to be an edge rusher. Yes, 720 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,360 Speaker 1: and I think we finally, finally I shouldn't say that 721 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,800 Speaker 1: because it's been two games, but we really saw that 722 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,720 Speaker 1: in last week's game where he comes around the corner 723 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 1: off the edge on the right, gets that ball out 724 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,319 Speaker 1: from Russell Wilson and then you know they recover. It 725 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 1: sets up, Yeah, sets up the Brandon Cook's touchdown. I 726 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,799 Speaker 1: think that was an impressive play, especially considering what had 727 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,920 Speaker 1: already gone on in that game. For Yeah, it was 728 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 1: a it was a high emotion game, to say the least, 729 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 1: a physical game, which we see every time we play 730 00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,239 Speaker 1: the Seahawks and teams um and so Yeah, I think 731 00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 1: it was great to see a new face on defense 732 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,240 Speaker 1: make a que huge critical play for us to really 733 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 1: solidify that win that we you know, and get that 734 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,680 Speaker 1: touchdown which gave us a little more comfort towards the 735 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,760 Speaker 1: end of the game. And to see you know, Aaron 736 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:15,480 Speaker 1: have an amazing game, because I mean he's incredible against 737 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,160 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. Those two should be best friends. With the 738 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 1: way that they didn't have sex. For Aaron Donald against 739 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,839 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, Mercy's add in his career. Yeah, and then 740 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 1: to have Dante Fowler come in and make that huge 741 00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,040 Speaker 1: play on offense, it's just like he was obviously a 742 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,400 Speaker 1: great ad And again and you know this, the locker 743 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,839 Speaker 1: room as a whole is so healthy and they work 744 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:38,000 Speaker 1: so well together that adding Dante I think has been 745 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:39,960 Speaker 1: a great addition of the day. I would agree, and 746 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,000 Speaker 1: I think that they've embraced him. And you know, the 747 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:47,040 Speaker 1: thing about that that play in particular where Fowler is 748 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 1: able to get a big takeaway, is that what happened 749 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,200 Speaker 1: earlier in the game right where he had he draws 750 00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:58,280 Speaker 1: the unsportsmanli conduct penalty apparently because he used the word 751 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,920 Speaker 1: terrible and about a call when he was speaking to 752 00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,040 Speaker 1: a referee while coming off the field. I don't know 753 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:04,719 Speaker 1: if that's the only word he said or not, but 754 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:06,640 Speaker 1: that's what he told the media that he said and 755 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:10,400 Speaker 1: that's what got him flag. But never using the word terrible. Yes, apparently, 756 00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,879 Speaker 1: don't use that with the referee. But you know, when 757 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 1: you commit that foul, especially on a third down play 758 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,600 Speaker 1: where it was an incomplete pass, you're coming off the 759 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,160 Speaker 1: field and then you get that and then they get 760 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,600 Speaker 1: back on the field, and then a couple of plays 761 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 1: later he throws a touchdown to Tyler Lockett in the 762 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,880 Speaker 1: end zone like that can sometimes take guys out of 763 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 1: their mental headspace, you know what I mean. And so 764 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:34,920 Speaker 1: for him to be able to stick with it, to 765 00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 1: be able to then say, all right, I know I 766 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:38,920 Speaker 1: need to make up for that. I no, we need 767 00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:40,920 Speaker 1: to make a play and then go out and execute that. 768 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,680 Speaker 1: I thought that was nice. Doesn't Sean McVeagh always say 769 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,840 Speaker 1: it's how you respond, Yeah, that's what. So we saw 770 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:51,719 Speaker 1: this perfect response from Fowler, who obviously had cost us 771 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 1: a touchdown basically, but also got us back a touchdown. Yeah, yeah, 772 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,560 Speaker 1: for sure. And so that's one of the things that 773 00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:01,319 Speaker 1: I think McVeigh was the most displeased about from the game, 774 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,959 Speaker 1: and it's something that he really said. He bothered him, 775 00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,960 Speaker 1: you know, in that postgame press conference was the penalties 776 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,000 Speaker 1: was basically the way you put it was, if teams 777 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,200 Speaker 1: are going to try to get us out of our 778 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,239 Speaker 1: rhythm and try to make us respond, we have to 779 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,080 Speaker 1: do a better job of, you know, not doing that. Yeah, 780 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:18,759 Speaker 1: And he said that it starts with me and he 781 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:20,360 Speaker 1: always does that, but he said, you know, I have 782 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,040 Speaker 1: to do a better job with the way I respond 783 00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:26,239 Speaker 1: certain things. And so the RAMS basically cannot have those 784 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:30,920 Speaker 1: fifteen yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalties, those unnecessary roughness penalties. Those 785 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,440 Speaker 1: are the things you can always control and those are 786 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,400 Speaker 1: the things you can't do going forward. Right. It's all 787 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,120 Speaker 1: the outliers. And we've heard, you know, Aaron Krohmer say 788 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,640 Speaker 1: this because you know, Roger Staffel got a little excited 789 00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,279 Speaker 1: in one of the games before it, so like, but hey, 790 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:47,840 Speaker 1: they also draft guys who have a very calm presence, 791 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:49,640 Speaker 1: and so they don't usually I mean, you know, you 792 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,520 Speaker 1: don't really see our players getting too excited or rolled 793 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,239 Speaker 1: up in games. And so one, I mean, it's cool 794 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,319 Speaker 1: because you're seeing these guys with passion out there and 795 00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,600 Speaker 1: they care, and like the fact that you know, we 796 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 1: have a nine and one season and they're not comfortable 797 00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,360 Speaker 1: and they're getting excited versus comfortable, I think is a 798 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,480 Speaker 1: great thing to see out of our team at this 799 00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 1: point in the season. But I also think, yeah, I mean, 800 00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,879 Speaker 1: Sean McVay sets the tone like we can't just give 801 00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,320 Speaker 1: away these extra yards because they're going to cost this. 802 00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,600 Speaker 1: And our games have been pretty close for the pretty 803 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 1: outside of the forty nine er game, I mean, especially 804 00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,759 Speaker 1: in the last few weeks. Yeah, these things like the 805 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:30,080 Speaker 1: padding is can be costly just from a penalty, and 806 00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,520 Speaker 1: so yeah, I think Sean mcvays saying that as like 807 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,200 Speaker 1: this cannot happen is good because it's going to set 808 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,680 Speaker 1: that tone moving forward, right, And that's something that I 809 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:39,839 Speaker 1: definitely think they're going to be working on this week, 810 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,319 Speaker 1: just making sure that you have that same kind of 811 00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:46,239 Speaker 1: even even keel demeanor and temperament going forward, and things 812 00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,920 Speaker 1: happen in division rivalry games, especially between the Seahawks and 813 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,640 Speaker 1: the Rams. I mean, these guys basically kind of pretty 814 00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:56,080 Speaker 1: much been the same kind of personnel since I don't know, 815 00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,720 Speaker 1: twenty twelve. I mean, you've got the same core group 816 00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,400 Speaker 1: of guys that have kind of and been around, especially 817 00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,800 Speaker 1: for the Seahawks. And so I mean there are guys 818 00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:07,160 Speaker 1: like Roger Staffold who've been playing against the Seahawks for years. 819 00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,799 Speaker 1: You know, Michael Brockers, Aaron Donald, all these guys. They 820 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,520 Speaker 1: know exactly what they're getting with the Seahawks, and so 821 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:14,359 Speaker 1: that's why I think you've get more or less those 822 00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,200 Speaker 1: interpersonal clashes, and you're probably not going to see that 823 00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:18,759 Speaker 1: as much with Kansas City. He was a team that 824 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,600 Speaker 1: you only see once every four years totally. So that's 825 00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,680 Speaker 1: something I think that they can work on and going forward. 826 00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:26,680 Speaker 1: But before we turn it to our look ahead, let's 827 00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,080 Speaker 1: talk about Marcus Peters because there's a stat that you 828 00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,200 Speaker 1: picked up today that I think is really interesting and 829 00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:32,719 Speaker 1: that I want you to share at the audience Yether. 830 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:37,239 Speaker 1: So we talk about Marcus Peters and the fans have 831 00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,839 Speaker 1: kind of put blame on him and how our secondary 832 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,839 Speaker 1: is letting coins be scored because of someone like mpe 833 00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,840 Speaker 1: who's not covering the field well. But thanks to Sarah Bailey, 834 00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,320 Speaker 1: who works in the stats group here with the Rams, 835 00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:52,400 Speaker 1: he is playing ninety three percent on the right side 836 00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,880 Speaker 1: of the field. Last year when he was with the Chiefs, 837 00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:59,279 Speaker 1: he pretty much split fifty fifty and deep formation. So 838 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:04,360 Speaker 1: like he he is not playing his comfort zone because 839 00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,480 Speaker 1: of losing a key to leave. So when you saw, 840 00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:08,960 Speaker 1: I mean, if you think about just those games before 841 00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:13,359 Speaker 1: a key was injured, our secondary was sound like we 842 00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,360 Speaker 1: were playing really well. And so then when Marcus Peters 843 00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:20,360 Speaker 1: loses his buddy, right, you know, he's got to adjust. 844 00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:22,399 Speaker 1: And so I do think, like I mean, just looking 845 00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:24,439 Speaker 1: at that ninety three percent of the time he's playing 846 00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:26,760 Speaker 1: on the right when you're looking over his left shoulder, 847 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,640 Speaker 1: which is not comfortable for him. If if he's doing 848 00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,279 Speaker 1: that last year and then now going fifty fifty, you're 849 00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,960 Speaker 1: definitely adjusting. He's a third year player. It's not like 850 00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,960 Speaker 1: he's you know, played a gazillion years to be able 851 00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,640 Speaker 1: to have this. So, yeah, going from ninety three percent 852 00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:43,840 Speaker 1: on the right to now pretty much splitting fifty fifty 853 00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,040 Speaker 1: and filling in for a keep has made such a 854 00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:49,600 Speaker 1: significant difference. So when we go and make these critical 855 00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,600 Speaker 1: marks on Marcus Peters, like keep that in mind moving forward, 856 00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:54,839 Speaker 1: and keep it in mind when when a keep comes back, 857 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,560 Speaker 1: because he'll be able to be in a more comfortable position. 858 00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:00,080 Speaker 1: Then yeah, I think that's important to note just about 859 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,960 Speaker 1: Marcus Peters. You know, he's not this is still his 860 00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,680 Speaker 1: first year in Wade Phillips system. In there, I think, 861 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,120 Speaker 1: I don't want to call it growing pains, but like 862 00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:11,440 Speaker 1: there are things that both he and Wade Phillips have 863 00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:12,960 Speaker 1: to be able to work out. I mean, Wade Phillips 864 00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,239 Speaker 1: talked about this last week. You know when I said, 865 00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:18,800 Speaker 1: when I give this, when when you have I should say, 866 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:23,560 Speaker 1: Marcus Peters on Michael Thomas in a third and seven situation, 867 00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,879 Speaker 1: that's their best receiver, you know, and it's one on 868 00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:29,239 Speaker 1: one coverage, and it's you know, it's a three point 869 00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:32,120 Speaker 1: game and everything like that, and he's covered one on 870 00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,920 Speaker 1: one that's on the coach, right, that's contending. He was 871 00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:39,520 Speaker 1: like I needed to support him, right, right, So that's that. However, 872 00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:42,560 Speaker 1: you know you can still say, and Marcus Peters did say, 873 00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,320 Speaker 1: when that call comes in, I have to be better. 874 00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:46,960 Speaker 1: I have to be able to play the defense. So 875 00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:50,080 Speaker 1: there's a culture of accountability I think that everybody has 876 00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:52,680 Speaker 1: here with the Los Angeles Rams, and that's good to 877 00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:56,200 Speaker 1: see you. Also, I think saw last week Marcus Peters 878 00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,880 Speaker 1: played better. He did play a lot better. You didn't 879 00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:02,239 Speaker 1: see guys just it far away behind him, and that 880 00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:05,640 Speaker 1: was really key down the stretch and when the Seahawks 881 00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:09,040 Speaker 1: had a chance to get back in that game because 882 00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,080 Speaker 1: or basically go down the field and win the game 883 00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,960 Speaker 1: after the Rams could not get a first down on offense, 884 00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,719 Speaker 1: He's not getting beat right, you know, they're trying they 885 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,240 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's trying to throw it really deep and Marcus 886 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,480 Speaker 1: Peters is not letting anybody get behind him. Yeah, that's 887 00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:25,560 Speaker 1: obviously the coaching point in the situation like that, but 888 00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:28,919 Speaker 1: it's still like, Okay, you're like, that's what has to happen, 889 00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:31,239 Speaker 1: and it did happen. So that's why again, it's like 890 00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:33,640 Speaker 1: why you brought Marcus Peters here in the first place, right, 891 00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:37,160 Speaker 1: So if you're seeing these things happen, there's reason to 892 00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:40,399 Speaker 1: be encouraged going forward, especially when a key to leave 893 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:42,360 Speaker 1: comes back after that. By week he's not going to 894 00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:45,920 Speaker 1: have to split fifty fifty because again you're using your 895 00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:49,160 Speaker 1: best cornerback to cover the best wideouts on the other team, 896 00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:51,640 Speaker 1: which would be Marcus Peters. But then again, if he's 897 00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:54,640 Speaker 1: not comfortable in that position, then obviously we're going to 898 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,479 Speaker 1: see the things that we've seen. And again he's taken 899 00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 1: ownership of it. Wade Phillips is taking ownership of it. 900 00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:01,080 Speaker 1: That's what you want to see out of this team 901 00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:04,400 Speaker 1: in general, and again Keep you know, hopefully looking to 902 00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:08,200 Speaker 1: return after the bye week or so after our little 903 00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:10,279 Speaker 1: time off hopefully to see it. Keep get back on 904 00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:12,359 Speaker 1: the yeah, and that that would definitely be huge. So 905 00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,600 Speaker 1: Keep to Leeve is really has always been thought of 906 00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,120 Speaker 1: as one of the two players to come back from 907 00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:21,160 Speaker 1: the injured reserve list, and now we know that Farrell 908 00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:24,240 Speaker 1: Cooper will be the other. So I think having those 909 00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:27,279 Speaker 1: two guys back in this situation is going to be 910 00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,120 Speaker 1: pretty key going forward as the Rams get down the stretch, 911 00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:33,279 Speaker 1: especially because you know, we have talked about Joe Joe 912 00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:35,919 Speaker 1: Natsen and he's having a really nice season averaging over 913 00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,920 Speaker 1: fourteen yards on per punt return. Blake Countess has done 914 00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:42,120 Speaker 1: a really nice job fielding those kicks and getting back there. 915 00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:44,719 Speaker 1: But I think sometimes we forget that Farrell Cooper isn't 916 00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:47,920 Speaker 1: all pro. Yeah, and he really was the best returner 917 00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:50,239 Speaker 1: in the league during the twenty seventeenth season, which is 918 00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:54,200 Speaker 1: twenty yards for each return. He had a return of 919 00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:57,120 Speaker 1: over twenty punt return I should say over twenty yards 920 00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,440 Speaker 1: I think six of last year's game saying, and he 921 00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:02,839 Speaker 1: only started returning punts in weeks six in Fame. So 922 00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,799 Speaker 1: that's really, really, really good, and it sets up the 923 00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:08,120 Speaker 1: offense all the time for what they can do and 924 00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:11,080 Speaker 1: score more points. So I think having Farall Cooper back 925 00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:14,360 Speaker 1: is huge, not just for the potential offensive production you 926 00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:16,879 Speaker 1: can bring, but also for the special team stuff. So 927 00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:19,759 Speaker 1: let's really then turn it to our look ahead and 928 00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:22,480 Speaker 1: the matchup with these Kansas City Chiefs that again will 929 00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:28,520 Speaker 1: be at now the Coliseum, which yes, it's a marquee 930 00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:32,239 Speaker 1: matchup between two real powerhouse offenses. You said it was 931 00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:35,200 Speaker 1: an offense versus offense game, it really is. Yeah, And 932 00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,440 Speaker 1: you know it's not that there's not going to be 933 00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:40,560 Speaker 1: any kind of level of defense, because I think a 934 00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,280 Speaker 1: you're gonna see guys be really motivated to get takeaways. 935 00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:45,040 Speaker 1: It's gonna be, to me, the same kind of game 936 00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:47,640 Speaker 1: that it was in New Orleans. Right, if a team 937 00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:50,080 Speaker 1: can get a takeaway and you get on the board 938 00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:52,640 Speaker 1: with that takeaway, then that could be the difference. And 939 00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:54,200 Speaker 1: that to me is what this game is going to 940 00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,600 Speaker 1: look like. Yeah, and you know, to me, I would 941 00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:58,759 Speaker 1: say when it comes to Patrick Mahomes, right, you know, 942 00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:02,879 Speaker 1: seventy six percent success rate when he's scrambling for like so, 943 00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:06,640 Speaker 1: I mean he's buying himself time, he's finding the time 944 00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:09,080 Speaker 1: to then make those throws anyway, But I think we 945 00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:12,359 Speaker 1: just have to pressure him as much as possible so 946 00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:15,200 Speaker 1: that he doesn't have the success rate that he's having. Yeah. 947 00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:17,600 Speaker 1: I think he mentioned it earlier in the show that 948 00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:20,879 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes has only had two games this season where 949 00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:24,120 Speaker 1: he has not thrown for over three hundred yards. Yeah, 950 00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:27,880 Speaker 1: which is absolutely ridiculous, and it's why he is the 951 00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,960 Speaker 1: leader probably in the clubhouse for that MVP award. I mean, 952 00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:35,400 Speaker 1: his numbers are outstanding, thirty one hundred and fifty yards passing, 953 00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:40,399 Speaker 1: thirty one touchdowns, seven interceptions. You know, he's averaging nine 954 00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,920 Speaker 1: point one yards per attempt. The numbers are just off 955 00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:47,160 Speaker 1: the charts, and that's why the Kansas City Chiefs have 956 00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:49,640 Speaker 1: been able to really take a step forward when I 957 00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:52,799 Speaker 1: think people probably thought they wouldn't after Alex Smith left 958 00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:54,760 Speaker 1: from the off season. You know, do you think because 959 00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:57,360 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes being in his first season is something to 960 00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,920 Speaker 1: be compared to, like a Dak Prescott. You saw Dad 961 00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:04,160 Speaker 1: kept such a successful first year to a point, and 962 00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:06,319 Speaker 1: then in like week eleven, Week twelve, it was like 963 00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:09,400 Speaker 1: what happened to Dak Prescott? But like maybe defense has 964 00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:12,160 Speaker 1: started to figure him out, right, Like with Patrick Mahomes, 965 00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:15,000 Speaker 1: he's having just an incredible season. But at some point, 966 00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:17,720 Speaker 1: now you've got ten games of film on him, where 967 00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,960 Speaker 1: you know, defenses begin to adjust, and what better defense 968 00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,520 Speaker 1: to adjust than a Wade Phillips right right right. I 969 00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:26,480 Speaker 1: think that's an interesting question because I mean, at that point, 970 00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:29,720 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott really was a rookie, and like the difference 971 00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:31,680 Speaker 1: here is Mahomes did have that year to sit and 972 00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:35,520 Speaker 1: learn under Alex Smith. But I think also you've got 973 00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:38,279 Speaker 1: a guy who's probably a better innovator when it comes 974 00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:41,160 Speaker 1: to scheme in Andy Reid than maybe you had with 975 00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:46,279 Speaker 1: Alanahan in Dallas. But also, there's only so many ways 976 00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,920 Speaker 1: you can adjust to speed, right, and that's what Tyreek 977 00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:52,000 Speaker 1: Hill has, and so he's so fast that it just 978 00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:55,120 Speaker 1: becomes that much more of a problem when that dude 979 00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:56,880 Speaker 1: is running down the field. Because he's so fast, you 980 00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,520 Speaker 1: just he's a problem for everybody. And I know that 981 00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:01,440 Speaker 1: there's going to be at least one or two plays 982 00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:04,960 Speaker 1: where it's like, oh my gosh, I'm getting tweets. I mean, 983 00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:06,440 Speaker 1: during the game, was gonna be oh my gosh, why 984 00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:10,840 Speaker 1: can't why can't we cover Tyreek Hill? Like, dude, the 985 00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:14,120 Speaker 1: same thing when you talk about Album Kamara, nobody tackles him, 986 00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:17,240 Speaker 1: Well this don't. Those guys are really really special players, 987 00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:20,520 Speaker 1: and when you're talking about speed, it's just it's hard 988 00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:23,359 Speaker 1: to stop. Yeah, I mean, I still remember that game 989 00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:26,520 Speaker 1: against when they played the Chargers week one. I mean, 990 00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:28,880 Speaker 1: it was insane watching and that was one of the 991 00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:32,520 Speaker 1: games where Patrick Mahomes did not throw for three hundred yards, 992 00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,000 Speaker 1: but he had four touchdowns and it was like, I mean, 993 00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:37,160 Speaker 1: I and I remember that game specifically because I was 994 00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:39,520 Speaker 1: taking notes on both teams. I was like, oh, this 995 00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:41,600 Speaker 1: would be so excited when we actually faced the Chiefs 996 00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:43,759 Speaker 1: later on in this season, and you know, obviously the 997 00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:47,239 Speaker 1: Chargers being in LA, but yeah, I mean they're with 998 00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:49,680 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and their offense. It will, I agree with 999 00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:52,640 Speaker 1: you be an offense versus offense game again. The thing 1000 00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:54,840 Speaker 1: about it is going to be can you get the 1001 00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:58,719 Speaker 1: takeaway right? Because Patrick Mahomes has thrown interceptions. He had 1002 00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:01,520 Speaker 1: a string of five straight games with a pick that 1003 00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,719 Speaker 1: just got broken last week against the Arizona Cardinals. Were 1004 00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:06,920 Speaker 1: watching that game. There were a couple of times where 1005 00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:09,440 Speaker 1: he could have gotten picked off. They didn't make the plays. 1006 00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:12,080 Speaker 1: But at the same time, when you again, when you 1007 00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:15,040 Speaker 1: have those pick opportunities, you've got to be able to 1008 00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:18,200 Speaker 1: capitalize on them because if you don't, then Kansas City 1009 00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:19,480 Speaker 1: is just going to get back on the field and 1010 00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:21,400 Speaker 1: make you pay. Isn't it that the learnings that we 1011 00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:23,960 Speaker 1: had from the Saints right for us, Like, again, what 1012 00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:27,200 Speaker 1: do we do with those takeaways? Yes? Yeah, absolutely, And 1013 00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:29,520 Speaker 1: I mean if you get in a situation where you 1014 00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:32,280 Speaker 1: get the ball in the red zone and you don't 1015 00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:35,760 Speaker 1: get it, you have to be able to score those points. 1016 00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:38,360 Speaker 1: In those situations. You can't settle for field goals against 1017 00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:40,760 Speaker 1: this team. I mean, that's the thing, right, It's almost 1018 00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:43,080 Speaker 1: the same thing like you're saying against the Saints. These 1019 00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:45,839 Speaker 1: are the three top scoring teams in the league right now, 1020 00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:48,120 Speaker 1: So you have to be able to hold them to 1021 00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:51,359 Speaker 1: field goals and not touchdowns if you're a defense, because 1022 00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:53,640 Speaker 1: you got to know, Okay, they're gonna get there's they're 1023 00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:56,520 Speaker 1: gonna get yards. But once you get down into that 1024 00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:59,920 Speaker 1: condensed area, the defense has to be able to stand 1025 00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:03,400 Speaker 1: firm and make sure that they're not doing anything that 1026 00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:06,759 Speaker 1: would allow touchdowns. Yeah, and you know, actually going back 1027 00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,320 Speaker 1: to I think you guys were flying, but the Kansas 1028 00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:12,120 Speaker 1: City game against New England, Yeah, I mean that. I mean, 1029 00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:15,640 Speaker 1: how impressive was Patrick Mahomes in that game facing Tom Brady. 1030 00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:20,200 Speaker 1: But again that score was forty to forty three. Yeah, 1031 00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:22,879 Speaker 1: forty three to forty I mean they hung in there, right, 1032 00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:25,680 Speaker 1: And so again I actually see that as sort of 1033 00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:29,120 Speaker 1: a close game to us as well to high powered 1034 00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:32,600 Speaker 1: offense teams going against each other high scoring. But again, 1035 00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:34,320 Speaker 1: which is why to me, I'm like, we need to 1036 00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:36,959 Speaker 1: put as much pressure as we can on Mahomes are 1037 00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,799 Speaker 1: obviously our secondary needs to make sure that we are 1038 00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:42,759 Speaker 1: tight and you you were talking about Sam Shields and 1039 00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:44,759 Speaker 1: how he will step up, you know, in this game 1040 00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:47,360 Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, I would expect to see Sam Shields 1041 00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:50,479 Speaker 1: and especially maybe a little bit more than we've seen 1042 00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:52,520 Speaker 1: him on defense in the last couple of weeks. What's 1043 00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,399 Speaker 1: been interesting is that when the Rams get to third 1044 00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:58,800 Speaker 1: down and so those are those known passing situations on defense, 1045 00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:01,759 Speaker 1: he comes in as more of that outside corner. So 1046 00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:04,520 Speaker 1: Troy Hill has been usually the first second down guy, 1047 00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:07,359 Speaker 1: and then when it's more of the passing situation, Sam 1048 00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:10,279 Speaker 1: Shields comes in and then he's defending the pass. I 1049 00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:12,839 Speaker 1: think when you look at the way the Rams try 1050 00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:16,960 Speaker 1: to defend against the Seahawks last week is specifically Tyler Lockett. 1051 00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:19,640 Speaker 1: A lot of those times in those third down situations, 1052 00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:22,319 Speaker 1: Shields was on Lockett because shield says that kind of 1053 00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:24,920 Speaker 1: shield at speed. Yeah, and there aren't too many people 1054 00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:28,439 Speaker 1: who can keep up with somebody like a Tyreek Hill. 1055 00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:31,239 Speaker 1: I don't know how successful Sam Shields is going to 1056 00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:33,080 Speaker 1: be at it, but I think because he's one of 1057 00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:35,480 Speaker 1: your fastest guys on defense, that's the guy that you're 1058 00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:38,120 Speaker 1: gonna have to try, especially when Hill winds up in 1059 00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:40,879 Speaker 1: that slot. Man like you saw last week that they 1060 00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:43,040 Speaker 1: lined him up in the slot, got him against a 1061 00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:47,640 Speaker 1: linebacker for Arizona's defense, and that is a matchup nightmare, right, mismatch. 1062 00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:49,680 Speaker 1: That's how that's how they got into the end zone 1063 00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:52,799 Speaker 1: for one of those Tyreek Hill touchdowns. Because like and 1064 00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:55,040 Speaker 1: I remember saying the Star staff writer Clarence and when 1065 00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:57,520 Speaker 1: we were watching the game in the press box before 1066 00:50:57,760 --> 00:50:59,880 Speaker 1: Ram Seattle kicked off, It's like, dude, if you have 1067 00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:02,960 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill on a linebacker in that situation in the 1068 00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:05,359 Speaker 1: red zone, you've got to call time out. Yeah, you do, 1069 00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:08,480 Speaker 1: because you know you're you you've already lost before the 1070 00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:11,239 Speaker 1: play even begins. You're not gonna write what's gonna happen 1071 00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:14,920 Speaker 1: at that point exactly? Nothing? Nothing good for the defense probably. 1072 00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:16,560 Speaker 1: So those are the kinds of things you've got to 1073 00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:19,359 Speaker 1: look at, um, at least from a defensive standpoint, when 1074 00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:23,960 Speaker 1: you're talking about Kansas City. From the offensive standpoint, you 1075 00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:26,040 Speaker 1: look at Kansas City's defense, they're number one in the 1076 00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:29,200 Speaker 1: league in sacks. It've gotten thirty one sacks, and so 1077 00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:31,239 Speaker 1: that is something that the Rands are definitely gonna have 1078 00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:34,439 Speaker 1: to be able to hold up. Yes, yes, for sure, 1079 00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:37,000 Speaker 1: because they're they're really good at just coming off the 1080 00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:40,399 Speaker 1: edge and making sure that you don't get exactly what 1081 00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:44,560 Speaker 1: you want, especially in third down situations. Yeah, um, well, 1082 00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:49,880 Speaker 1: thankfully Whitworth and See and Saffled look healthy and ready 1083 00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:53,239 Speaker 1: to go. And they've got their Colorado lungs, yes, to 1084 00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:55,759 Speaker 1: get some mixture energy in. But that's that's the thing. 1085 00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:58,239 Speaker 1: I think, you know, you try to get every edge 1086 00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:01,000 Speaker 1: you can, right and like, if you're here this week, 1087 00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:03,200 Speaker 1: then hopefully that does help you against the guy liked 1088 00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:06,399 Speaker 1: Ford who leads that team with nine sacks, number fifty 1089 00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:08,920 Speaker 1: five coming off the edge, Chris Jones another guy it's 1090 00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:10,840 Speaker 1: done a great job for him with seven sacks. And 1091 00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:12,680 Speaker 1: then Alan Bailey is up the middle a lot of 1092 00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:15,200 Speaker 1: the time as a defensive tackle, so they've got a 1093 00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:18,000 Speaker 1: lot of options that they can use to get after 1094 00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:21,000 Speaker 1: the passer. And that I think, you know, we've seen 1095 00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:23,720 Speaker 1: the Rams do a pretty good job throughout the course 1096 00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:28,160 Speaker 1: of the year of protecting Jared Goffe, you know, especially 1097 00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:30,560 Speaker 1: considering where they've been in the past in terms of 1098 00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:32,480 Speaker 1: protecting him. I'm thinking really of his rookie year, not 1099 00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,719 Speaker 1: last year, but he right now has been able to 1100 00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:38,120 Speaker 1: have time he's been able to survey the field in 1101 00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:41,880 Speaker 1: Kansas City's defense is not necessarily known for giving up 1102 00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:44,160 Speaker 1: not a lot of yards, you know, and all the points. 1103 00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:46,840 Speaker 1: But when they get their opportunities to rush the pastor, 1104 00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:48,400 Speaker 1: they do it, and they do it very very well. 1105 00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:51,399 Speaker 1: So you have to stay in those third manageable situations 1106 00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:54,680 Speaker 1: so that your playmakers like Todd Gurley, like Robert Woods, 1107 00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:57,400 Speaker 1: like Brandon Cooks, like the two tight ends and Higbee 1108 00:52:57,520 --> 00:53:00,279 Speaker 1: and then Everett, they can all make those plays as well. Yeah, 1109 00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:02,600 Speaker 1: maybe we get some more two point conversions out there too, 1110 00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:04,719 Speaker 1: like as many times that we can just get those 1111 00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:07,279 Speaker 1: extra points wherever we can see them. I wonder if 1112 00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:09,520 Speaker 1: that's I wonder if that's something you do, because if 1113 00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:11,840 Speaker 1: you're going against Kansas City, you got to figure that 1114 00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:13,760 Speaker 1: this is going to be a high scoring game. Totally 1115 00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:15,920 Speaker 1: be over under on this game right now is sixty 1116 00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:19,280 Speaker 1: three and a half points, which is astronomical. What yeah, 1117 00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:22,359 Speaker 1: oh my, yes, So basically, I mean you're thinking that 1118 00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:25,120 Speaker 1: this could be, you know, a game where these two 1119 00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:27,759 Speaker 1: teams may score up to forty points each, which is 1120 00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:29,239 Speaker 1: what happened in that New England, which you're right. I 1121 00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:33,359 Speaker 1: was like, would happen exactly. So it's gonna be a 1122 00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:35,759 Speaker 1: wild one for sure. I'm really looking forward to LA 1123 00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:40,280 Speaker 1: fans come to the coliseum cheer on your Rams, who 1124 00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:44,600 Speaker 1: we've had a very wild week, so to say the least. Yes, 1125 00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:46,759 Speaker 1: and so I think I do, you know, going back 1126 00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:49,719 Speaker 1: to where we started, like being here in Colorado, beautiful 1127 00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:53,200 Speaker 1: and a calm place to kind of readjuss, get focused, 1128 00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:56,440 Speaker 1: realign ourselves and then go back home in front of 1129 00:53:56,600 --> 00:54:00,239 Speaker 1: LA fans to you know, take on the Chiefs. Let's 1130 00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:02,720 Speaker 1: let's get a win for sure, a Monday night football 1131 00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:06,919 Speaker 1: going to the bye ten and one and perhaps even 1132 00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,640 Speaker 1: clinch a division title. We'll see what happens tomorrow night 1133 00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:12,839 Speaker 1: with green Bay and also Seattle. But if green Bay 1134 00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:15,879 Speaker 1: comes in and they defeat Seattle, if the Rams win 1135 00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:18,440 Speaker 1: on Monday Night football, that means they are NFC West 1136 00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:21,600 Speaker 1: champions already and we're still basically in mid November. How 1137 00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:24,000 Speaker 1: about that that?
