27
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,839
Speaker 1: for those that don't know, JV. Long and I we've

28
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: talked a lot over the summer about our an espresso

29
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 1: pod choices, which ones we like, which ones we don't.

30
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: Um you you like more of the smaller espresso shots

31
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: one I get a full cup? All right? All right?

32
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: Who's laughing in the background? DeMarco. You haven't even been

33
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: introduced yet. You can't make noise yet. This is great.

34
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: I love it. Go ahead, keep going, yeah, Eric, And

35
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: let's let's go ahead and document all the other private

36
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: conversations we've had the benefit of our audience showing you.

37
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: I actually have them written down. I'm right here. I

38
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: can pull him up. Look at her keeping those I'm

39
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: working all morning with, DeMarco. So I don't need any caffeine, right,

40
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: let's go man, absolutely straight up cured brand, whatever this is,

41
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: whatever my wife made, this is it going in absolutely

42
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: how would you feel if I term this week not

43
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 1: a must win because it's only week six and it's

44
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: only October and you're only a game back of the

45
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: forty nine ers. But I cannot lose given the state

46
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: of the Panthers and this state of the Rams. You're

47
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: good with that? I think? I like that, aren't they

48
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: kind of the same though, must win and cannot lose

49
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: kind of the same thing, right, Splitting hairs thinking about

50
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: a difference. Yeah, I see where you're going. Look, you're

51
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: below five hundred. This doesn't happen often in the Sean

52
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 1: MCVAIRA two weeks in a row. Matthew Stafford has been

53
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: beating up a little bit. So yeah, this is one

54
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 1: where you've got to show improved just to get back

55
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: to five number one, and you've got to back some

56
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: of these teams off you. You really do um. Public

57
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: perception is falling right now, so I'm right there with you.

58
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: This is a can't lose at home. You need to

59
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: show your home base what you're all about, and you're

60
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: ready to defend this championship. Erica three and three going

61
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: into the bye would feel a whole lot better than

62
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks have Oh, absolutely, this buy

63
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,239
Speaker 1: is coming at the at the perfect time. Really. At first,

64
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, the Rams get kind of an

65
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: early buye, which sometimes doesn't end up so favorably for

66
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: a team, and the like statistics have showed that the

67
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: later the bye, the better the team can sort of

68
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: move into the to the postseason. But I am very

69
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: thankful that it is coming right now. God bless you, Stu.

70
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: I mean that Mic is so sensitive it didn't even

71
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: pick up your sneeze. Are were you dabbing? Are you

72
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: dabbing on us? Is that way? Yeah? You're like, yes,

73
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: just a small cough, that's all. Okay. I don't ever

74
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: want to see Stu dab never, never, and you never

75
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: will believe me. But but Coach Jackson, it's not just

76
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: that the Rams two and three, I think that's hard

77
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: to stomach. Sure, but that's not what I think is

78
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: bothering us and bothering the fan base right now. It's

79
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: the underline metrics, especially on offense, that make you feel

80
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: the two and three. Am I wrong? Yeah, certainly, it's

81
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: it's there's been, you know, repeated questions about you know,

82
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: what can be done to get Allen Robinson more involved

83
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: and in general, like you mentioned, you know, how can

84
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: this offense get fixed? A lot of talk about problems

85
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: solving mode this week, and part of that too, it

86
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: turns out, involves potentially the left guard and center positions.

87
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: You know. Obviously, the offensive line has has owned their performance,

88
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: knowing that it needs to be better than it has

89
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: been the last two games. And to that point, Rob Havenstein,

90
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: team captain, obviously the leader of that room, said they

91
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: had a closed door players only meeting to to kind

92
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: of you know, air out their you know, grievances, if

93
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: you will, and just kind of talk through what's been happening.

94
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: And so between all of those things, uh, you know,

95
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 1: I think it's needless to say, important for them to

96
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: you know, get back on track here in week six.

97
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: And along those lines, I actually want to ask you

98
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: to Marco. I don't know if you've been a part

99
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: of any of those types of meetings in your career,

100
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: but is that when you hear that or you know,

101
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: see that, you know what's your reaction and what does

102
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 1: that say about the accountability and ownership being taken? Oh

103
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: several several I've been a part of a mutiny once

104
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: it was put down fast, But yeah, we tried. They're

105
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: never a good thing, and you know, and I tried

106
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: to organize a few in my career, and you do

107
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: it with the best of intentions, but what you wind

108
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: up doing is alienating, alienating your coaching staff because it's

109
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: like you're kicking them out of the room. So you

110
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: think the problem might be them, or at least that's

111
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: what they think. So it's never a good thing. You

112
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: never have players, only meetings when things are going well,

113
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 1: unless you're planning, you know, parties or whatnot. So I'm

114
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 1: glad the offensive line has owned what has happened the

115
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. Well, how can you run from it?

116
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: It's right there on video. Everybody sees it. The entire

117
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: NFL loving world sees it, and your next opponent saw it.

118
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 1: So I'm glad Robbi Himistein has a captain, got his

119
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: group together. But let's hope that translates into better play upfront,

120
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: better protection for Matthew Stafford, because the big question is

121
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: how do you get Alan Robinson involved? Well, number one,

122
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: keep your quarterback up right, give him time to throw.

123
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: Maybe you'll have a chance to extend that playbook. But yeah,

124
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: players only meanings to to answer your question, never ever

125
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 1: a good thing. So let's hope there's a positive result

126
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 1: from it. To Marco. On Monday, when we spoke with

127
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: Sean McVeagh, it felt like some performance based changes might

128
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: be coming. He had one bone in particular to pick

129
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: with the offensive line. Look, they faced some ferocious pass

130
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 1: rushes in San Francisco and home against Dallas the last

131
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, but the self inflicted injuries are the

132
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 1: ones that he can't tolerate, and it might be time

133
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: to make a switch at certain positions. Well, I don't

134
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: know where you go though. I mean some of that

135
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: stuff was in protection where you slid the wrong way

136
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 1: and you gave Dallas a free run right to your quarterback.

137
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: That's the stuff that would drive him us. If you

138
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: get beat physically, you can handle that. I mean, he

139
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: gets paid to the guy on the other side. But

140
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: when you're just giving Dallas or giving San Francisco or

141
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: given the opponent a pathway to the quarterback, that just

142
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: blows up everything. That's the stuff that coaches can't stomach.

143
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: But I don't know who you bench or who you

144
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: bring in. I think you have to get better with

145
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: the guys you have, and look, you're struggling on the

146
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: offensive line, so it may be on the coaching staff

147
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh in particular, to simplify what you're doing, maybe

148
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: take away a few check with means, stay with the

149
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: play on the line of scrimmage even if it gets

150
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: blown up. But the last thing you want is a

151
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: lot of miscommunication to where your quarterback is, you know,

152
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: suffering because of that. DeMarco's questions too, where do they

153
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: go next? Where do they turn? Well, they're gonna have

154
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: to turn somewhere. They're in line to start their six

155
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: different offensive line combination and as many games this week. Yeah,

156
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: with Sean McVay saying that they're still working through what

157
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: each of those positions will look like on game day,

158
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: that makes me wonder about the potential use of Matt Skura,

159
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: a veteran who they signed to the practice squad and

160
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: later to the active roster of course, as well as

161
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: Oday Abushi. You know, those are two guys that both

162
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: have a lot of experience, both veterans signings to the

163
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: practice squad and so, uh you know, do you use them? Uh,

164
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: you know, day at Garden and perhaps Matt it's at

165
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: Matt at center. If you feel like a change is necessary,

166
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: you know, obviously that's to be determined and we'll see

167
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: what that looks like on Sunday. But that's sort of

168
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: what's at the top of mind for me is as

169
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: I think about, you know, what potential changes get made,

170
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 1: and if you know if they're continuing to work through that,

171
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: what you know McVay might do. Not to jump in,

172
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: but Skurl's got sixty five starts right in his career

173
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: at center or along the offensive line. Just just throwing

174
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,959
Speaker 1: another I mean, look, I think last week was an

175
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: inexperienced center that got taken advantage of. That's fair, right,

176
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: last two weeks, last two weeks. So I think if

177
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: you have any more experience center that can at least

178
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: communicate handle protections, that might be an area where you

179
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: can make a switch there. But how fast is he

180
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: up to speed? We don't know, Erica. We need some

181
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: good news here. Let me interject some There's only one

182
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: team ahead of the Rams in the NFC West, and

183
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: those Niners are going to be here in two weeks.

184
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: The other two teams are also two and three, and

185
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: they play head to head this week. Seattle and Arizona

186
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: and a layer on a little bit. I don't think

187
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: I'm going out on a limb to say that the

188
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: Rams are playing potentially the worst team in the league

189
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: this Sunday, and Wood almost certainly their most beatable opponent

190
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: on this schedule. Knock led by an interim head coach

191
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: and quarterbacked by I think it's fair to describe Carolina's

192
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: number four option at quarterback come into this knock on Woody,

193
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: knock on wood. You just you just never know any

194
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: given Sunday. I'm just knock on wood to just make

195
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: sure we're all covered here. You're right after the windless

196
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: New York Jets came to Sofa a couple of years

197
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: ago and forfeited their right to draft Trevor Lawrence. I

198
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: will never again in this league take any Sunday for granted,

199
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: That's not what I'm doing here. I'm just saying, in

200
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: a season in which very few things have broken the

201
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: Rams way so far, this one is teeth up for

202
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: them to get right. Absolutely. I mean PJ. Walker has

203
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: only had two starts this Panthers team. You know they

204
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: have Steve Wilkes as the coach. Now who the Rams

205
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: have some history with when he was the head coach

206
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: for the Cardinals for a year. Yes, is this coming

207
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: at the possible best time? It really truly does feel

208
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: like it does? It feel like this is the game

209
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: where the Rams offense can really really click, where the

210
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: defense who hasn't let more than three touchdowns in one

211
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: hundred eighty three plays happen, so they're playing great. Is

212
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: this their move to really sort of put a stamp

213
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: on a game? Absolutely? Do I think that coming out

214
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: of a strong, hard win, this coming Sunday into a

215
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: buy because the next game we have the forty nine Ers,

216
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: then the Bucks, then New Orleans. It is It's going

217
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: to be a long, long stretch. So yes, like you said,

218
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: this is a must not lose to go into the

219
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 1: buy refresh. Some people will come off from injuries like

220
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 1: this is really breaking the right way for the Rams. DeMarco.

221
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 1: Watching those Christian McCaffrey highlights, I'm reminded of just how

222
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: tall a task it can be. Even against the Carolina Panthers.

223
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: He's the East Coast Cooper Cup to me in terms

224
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: of his usage rate, his share of the pie offensively

225
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: for the Panthers. He's a bad dude. He really is.

226
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: Watching him run the football, traditionally taking handoffs and diving

227
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: up the middle. He's so quick at when he diagnoses

228
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: blocks and makes you pay for over committee, and he's

229
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: dangerous out of the backfield. You know, I was really

230
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: hoping that it would be Baker Mayfield this week because

231
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: he's so erratic, and I think that's it's fun to

232
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,199
Speaker 1: watch him get flustered out there. So, you know, when

233
00:11:58,200 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: you bring in a guy like PJ. Walker, who's got

234
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: nothing to lose, and with a football team that's got

235
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 1: nothing to lose, they're gonna let it all hang out.

236
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: They're gonna have fun on game day. So I hope

237
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: the Rams can match their enthusiasm. But Christian McCaffrey is

238
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: a problem for just about anybody, but specifically for a

239
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,439
Speaker 1: team that's I guess, dare I say struggling to stop

240
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: the run? Is that fair to say? I mean I

241
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: have to based on what Dallas just did, right or

242
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: I want to say this, I just say struggling to tackle?

243
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 1: How about that and a few isolated situations the last

244
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Sure, but right now, to me, the

245
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: defense is the strength of this team, and the run

246
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: defense is the strength of the Rams defense, if that

247
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: makes sense. They're a top five run defense in terms

248
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: of efficiency, and they're a top ten defense overall. I'm

249
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: not saying don't blame the defense. I'm not saying there

250
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: aren't things the defense can and will do better. But

251
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 1: right now this is not on them. No, But I

252
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 1: would say, look, the offense kind of hamster the defense,

253
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: and you kept the run game viable for Dallas for

254
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 1: four quarters. That's where you don't want to be against

255
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: the team like the Dallas Cowboys, when they can run

256
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: at twelve times in the fourth quarter, they're just gonna

257
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: wear you out. But I think the run defense can

258
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: be better, and it's gonna have to be with a

259
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: guy like McCaffrey. I think. I think that's the point because,

260
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 1: like you said, this guy can control clock either between

261
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: the tackles or outside the tackles or in the passing game.

262
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: So you're gonna have to rally to this guy and

263
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: you just can't miss tackles in the open field as

264
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: to take this in whatever direction you want. But the

265
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: defense last week gave up thirteen points. In my counting,

266
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: I'm subtracting nine for the defensive touchdown and the block

267
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: punt field goal to start at San Francisco on Monday

268
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,479
Speaker 1: Night Football. I've got them for seventeen points. I'm subtracting

269
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: the seven for the defensive touchdown, and at Arizona in

270
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: Week three, as we know, twelve points, and they did

271
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: not surrender a touchdown. By the way, all three of

272
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: those games without a takeaway, So those are true defensive

273
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: stops that they're not capitalizing on offensive miscuse per se. Yeah,

274
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 1: I absolutely agree with you, JB. I think, and so

275
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: DeMarco's point too. I think what's really just been affecting

276
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:09,439
Speaker 1: them as those unfortunate and untimely explosive plays like what

277
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: DeMarco is probably referring to or alluding to, like Tony

278
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: Pollard's fifty seven yard touchdown run that he had last Sunday,

279
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: And so you know, they're doing everything they can to

280
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: keep this team in this game. You do need to

281
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: start seeing more takeaways, I think, but when those come,

282
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: of course to the offense needs to start capitalizing as well.

283
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: But again, going back to your point, they are doing

284
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: even without those takeaways showing up. Yet they're still doing

285
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: what they can to put the offense in a good

286
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: position and also the team overall in a good position

287
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: to win these games. Interesting DeMarco. The other thing that

288
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: came up in our conversation with Sean on Monday speaking

289
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: of usage rate is he's kind of between a rock

290
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: and a hard play scratching inclined to keep this team

291
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: above water and above five hundred, and I do believe

292
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: that their best football is ahead of them and that

293
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,239
Speaker 1: they're going to be in contention into November and December.

294
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: My concern is the way that Stafford and Higbee and

295
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: Cup are peeling themselves up off the turf in the

296
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: fourth quarter of games recently. They got to be there

297
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: in the end, right and if if they can't protect

298
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: themselves right now, it's a tough ask. But the coaching

299
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: staff needs to find a way to protect them. Yeah, absolutely, well,

300
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: the only one that you have to depend on other people.

301
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: As for Matthew Stafford, I mean, the offensive line, tight ends,

302
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: running backs, everybody, You're all involved in protection of the quarterback.

303
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: But you know, Cooper Cup, even Sean McVay mentioned it

304
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: may be time to spell him sometimes, like even on

305
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: the sideline, not just hide him within a play and

306
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: throw it to someone else. You might need to pull

307
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: him out for a little bit. That means guys like

308
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: two to out well have to step in and play

309
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: big roles. Brandon Powell can't be just the gadget guy.

310
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to go play some receiver. Even Tyler Higby. Look,

311
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: I'm glad he's getting some reinforcements. I thought the plan

312
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: this year was not to play him so much, and

313
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: here we are. The guy's being an iron man again.

314
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,479
Speaker 1: So at some point, at his age and his usage,

315
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: that could be dangerous. You missed him in the Super

316
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: Bowl last year, so I think some of that is

317
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: going to have to change. Even on the defensive side.

318
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: I saw Aaron come out a few times. Now there's

319
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: a guy, look that is your bass rush outside of

320
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: him and Bobby Wagner. So when he comes out, things

321
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: change a little bit. But the last thing you want

322
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: is to start losing your stars, the guys that are

323
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: carrying you because you're using them too much. So it's

324
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: time for depth, guys, time for some of that mounted

325
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: coaching we keep talking about, to step forward and getting

326
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: some of these young guys ready to play, just to

327
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: take reps off the stars. Yeah, Cooper Cup and Tyler

328
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: he'd be each averaging more than sixty snaps per game

329
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: through five games this season, and now not just out

330
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: there running routes as decoys. I mean they are being

331
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: targeted and tackled on so many of those reps. And

332
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: as we know, Matthew Stafford has been sacked more through

333
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: five games than he has at any other point during

334
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: his career, so he's been peppered. There is an interesting

335
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: nugget that ties into Taylor Swift that I saw courtesy

336
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: of your Twitter feed, Eric, if you care to share

337
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 1: that with us, Oh my god, absolutely so. To Marco,

338
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: I now you already know this because you're a huge Swiftie,

339
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: but I was going through the NFL research packet yesterday

340
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: and I saw this stat that's you know, that kind

341
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: of stuck out to me, says Stafford. Has been sacked

342
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 1: twenty one times in twenty twenty two, the most ever,

343
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: like you just said, JB by a starting QB who

344
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl the previous season in their first

345
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: five games. The last time that this happened, or the

346
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: previous most sacked quarterback was nineteen times by Joe Montana

347
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty nine. That year, the forty nine Ers

348
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,959
Speaker 1: went on to repeat as Super Bowl champions that season,

349
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: and I wrote also nineteen eighty nine Taylor Swift's arguably

350
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: best album, Let's fight it out down in the comments.

351
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: Let me know, I think nineteen eighty nine is one

352
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: of her best albums. So I think it's a sign

353
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: and I think that this stat just proved that the

354
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: Rams are set to repeat nineteen eighty nine Joe Montana

355
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: eighty nine, Taylor. Okay, I got it, Yeah, yeah, yeah,

356
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: But remember talking about off you know, off camera conversations.

357
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 1: You didn't have to tell the role I'm swifty, you know.

358
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: That was just my god, It's so I know that's

359
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 1: how we connect. But you guys, I'll tell you lift,

360
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: you know, pull back to Kimono. DeMarco is blasting Taylor

361
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: Swift all this tough guy stuff. You're ruining its DeMarco.

362
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: I think we all expect and hope that the Rams

363
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 1: will protect their quarterback better this week. But the other

364
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: way you can do it, besides the five up front,

365
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 1: is with game and time and score circumstance. Right like,

366
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: they need some more favorable situations where they can protect

367
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 1: Stafford by handing the football off, even though their running

368
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: game has not yet gone on track. Wellfortunately they spent

369
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: the better part of their season so far chasing scores. Well,

370
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: I'm glad you mentioned handing it off. Okay, hand off

371
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: to who which one, Darryl or cam That's a great question, right,

372
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: And Darryl did get a carry, it just got called back.

373
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: So they were yeah, but they were skewed heavily in

374
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: cam Aker's favor. And believe me, we've seen the screen

375
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 1: grabs of the lane that he missed and the holes

376
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: that he's not seen. Why that reaction to Marco because

377
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: it was huge. I mean it was huge out to

378
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: your left. I mean you wonder from like a couch

379
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: a couch quarterback, like, how can you miss that? But

380
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: in the game it's it's different. So but look, you've

381
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: got to get some production in the running game, and

382
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: you've got two good running backs. So I think it

383
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: stands the reason that Darryl Henderson will get some carries

384
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 1: versus Carolina. And this is a defense, like you said,

385
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: that lacks killers up front. I like Brian Burns. He's

386
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,719
Speaker 1: a guy that can burn you off the edge, no

387
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: pun intended, But I think this is a defense where

388
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: you should be able to run effectively and throw awkway

389
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: action and have enough time to throw from a seven

390
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: step drop. So maybe all that Alan Robinson stuff, maybe

391
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: running Daryl Henderson, maybe that stuff comes to fruition this

392
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: Sunday and so far, all right, let's to share the

393
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: pie here a little bit. Erica Stu, give you guys

394
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: a chance for a final thought before we turn our

395
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: attention to Sunday at SOFI Stadium. Yeah, I want to

396
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 1: jump on kind of what we were talking about earlier

397
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: about how this buy is sort of coming at the

398
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: perfect time and when we look at everything that we've

399
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: circled for this Carolina Panthers team, I just this is

400
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,919
Speaker 1: a middle of the pack defense when the Rams have

401
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: faced the Bills, the Niners, the Cowboys front like we've

402
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: talked about. So like I said, and on Ricky's Ram

403
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: Jam this week, I had Mark Sessler from me around

404
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: the NFL podcast on and we gave predictions for this

405
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: week and we looked into the crystal ball and Mark

406
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: Sessler looked in and he goes, I think this game

407
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 1: is when Stafford throws four touchdowns and Alan Robinson will

408
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 1: have two of them, and this is the game against

409
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: the middle of the pack defense. Finally, isn't this crazy

410
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 1: front and I'm going to double down And I think

411
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: that happens as well, shameless self promotion and it feels

412
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: so good you got him. Still, I think for me,

413
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: it's you know, taking advantage of this to try to

414
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: get right before the bye week. As Eric has said,

415
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: you know, knock on wood. Certainly not looking past the

416
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 1: Panthers in any way, and it's a team you do

417
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 1: not want to take lately, especially playing under a new

418
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: head coach. But you need some momentum going into the

419
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: bye week, which again is earlier than we're used to normally.

420
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: It's you know, roughly the midway point at least it

421
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 1: feels like it has been in the mcveaghira. So a

422
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: win would go a long way for not only some

423
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: positive momentum into the bye week, but I think would

424
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: also be helpful coming out of it too and for

425
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 1: the rest of the season. Mark I think there's a

426
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: chance that the three teams that have beaten the Rams

427
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: are all not only playoff teams, but three of the

428
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 1: best in the National Football League, which is not to

429
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: excuse the losses. For the most part, they have not

430
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: been that competitive, but I think for the Rams to

431
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,719
Speaker 1: get back into the ring where they're capable of beating

432
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: the Bills, the forty nine ers, the Dallas Cowboys, they

433
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: need reinforcements and they're on the way. But can you

434
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: hang in long enough to get back to that opportunity.

435
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: I think so. Yeah. I thought San Francisco is competitive.

436
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 1: They were there until the pick six, right. I thought

437
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: Dallas they were hanging in there. There was an opportunity.

438
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 1: They're just Dallas closed the door on you and then

439
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: closed you out. I thought Buffalo was the only one

440
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:22,719
Speaker 1: where they kind of ran you off the field. But

441
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 1: there's there's a lot of positives, and like Stu said,

442
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 1: like we've all been saying, get back in the positive,

443
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: get some positive momentum by beating Carolina heading into the

444
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 1: buy and then let's see what happens versus San Francisco.

445
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: Not going to be easy, but that is a team

446
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: you beat for the biggest game of the year to

447
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: go to the Super Bowl, to win that one. So

448
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 1: everything is possible for the Rams, but you've just got

449
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: to figure out how to protect your quarterback first and foremost.

450
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: Without that, look, we're just whistling Dixie and your punter

451
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: and your punn oh my god, and your punter. Come on, man, really,

452
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: well you knew Bones had something. He's either gonna be

453
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 1: a fake or he's gonna show you where you're weak.

454
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 1: And I think he absolutely exploited that. Jodia Camillo has

455
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 1: had something for him too, Snap Jr. Loss How about that? Yes, sir,

456
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: I know. And guess who we're facing this week, mister

457
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: Johnny Hecker. Johnny Hecker, Oh so get ready for something

458
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: sneaky again, Johnny Hecker, Corey Littleton, Austin Corbett, some former

459
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,119
