Game this is gonna be 50 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: a big battle to see who gets the offensive line 51 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: against their defensive. Front that's the matchup of the. 52 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 2: Game, yeah and there's And and to, me it's funny 53 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 2: BECAUSE i did my my know your foe today and 54 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 2: so kind of thinking through all the DIFFERENT i think 55 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 2: there are a lot of different keys to.

Chiefs but 531 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 1: do you remember? That, yes? Coach without giving away strategy secrets, 532 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: here how much have we've seen of the twenty twenty 533 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 1: five textans how you're gonna look offensively and? Defensively we've 534 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,439 Speaker 1: seen the defense before and look really. Good now with 535 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 1: The Nick careley, offense what Surprises well you don't have 536 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 1: to reveal exactly, what but how different could it look 537 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:14,159 Speaker 1: once we get to the. 538 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,959 Speaker 6: Game, well when you get to the game week, right 539 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 6: there's so much preparation that goes into so many wrinkles 540 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 6: with the. Play so throughout training camp At OTA's you're 541 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 6: really just establishing your base. Plays you're just fundamental staples 542 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,160 Speaker 6: of the offense and, defense just where you can teach, Guys, 543 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 6: hey this is how we're gonna show a double team. 544 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 6: Block this is how we're gonna play a cover three. 545 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 6: Defense and now we get the opportunity to really game 546 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 6: plan and go against opponent as. Well hey we got 547 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 6: to put a wrinkle on this. Route we got to 548 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 6: add in a new run concept like and so you 549 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,399 Speaker 6: just go back and you draw from things you've taught 550 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,919 Speaker 6: in training, camp, like, hey remember we ran this gap scheme. Play, 551 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 6: hey we're gonna do it this, week but we're gonna 552 00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,919 Speaker 6: do it a little. Different we're gonna put the receive 553 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,199 Speaker 6: you're on a little, motion or we're gonna put the 554 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 6: tight end on a fast motion that try to put 555 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 6: a little window dress into. It but, hey we're running 556 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 6: that same play we taught IN ota. 557 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:12,160 Speaker 5: Three and so you. 558 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 6: Just draw from all the fundamentals the techniques from training 559 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 6: camp OTAs and you put as many wrinkles in it as. 560 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 6: Possible so the defense are always on their. Toes they're 561 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 6: always kind of guessing and they don't know exactly what you're. 562 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 2: Doing speaking of being on your, toes week, ones always 563 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 2: fascinating to. Me sometimes happens in week, two week, three 564 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:35,159 Speaker 2: but by then you've established. Tendencies you get unscouted looks 565 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 2: and making the, adjustments whether it's, offensive, defense special. Teams, 566 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,959 Speaker 2: hey that's not something we saw from, them, Coach how 567 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 2: important is to take those nonscripted, looks get on the, 568 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 2: sidelines look at the pictures and, go, okay wait a, 569 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 2: second we got to make an adjustment. 570 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 3: Here we can't let this go any. 571 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 1: Further if we see this, again we do. 572 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 2: This how important is it making those adjustments early on 573 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 2: to nonscripted looks you might. 574 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,400 Speaker 5: See it's very, important especially the first. 575 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 6: Game you can try to look at pass games all 576 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 6: you want, to but the first game is teams can 577 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 6: throw out all kind of, plays all kind of. Wrinkles so, 578 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 6: yeah you got to be ready to. Adjust you got 579 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 6: to be ready to see how our team's trying to 580 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 6: attack you, strategically offensively and, defensively and you have to 581 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 6: be ready to. 582 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,400 Speaker 5: Counter so what's your counter?

Together but by the same, 1163 00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:46,480 Speaker 9: token we know if something happens in a, game if 1164 00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:48,520 Speaker 9: you lose a, player somebody else is gonna go have 1165 00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:50,040 Speaker 9: to go in. There so you're trying to mix in 1166 00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:53,680 Speaker 9: match and simulate as best you can what's gonna happen 1167 00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:56,520 Speaker 9: when a group is playing. Together so work through practice 1168 00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:58,960 Speaker 9: here this. Week we put five out there On sunday 1169 00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:00,799 Speaker 9: against The. Rams whether or not that's the same group 1170 00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:01,319 Speaker 9: at the end of the. 1171 00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:01,799 Speaker 8: Year we'll. 1172 00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:04,120 Speaker 9: See i'm sure there's gonna be some changes and things 1173 00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:05,560 Speaker 9: that we're gonna have to deal with during the course 1174 00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:07,160 Speaker 9: of the, year but overall feel like we're in a 1175 00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:08,040 Speaker 9: pretty good spot with that. 1176 00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:10,960 Speaker 2: GROUP i hardly ever ask you about somebody THAT i 1177 00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:13,080 Speaker 2: don't think is gonna, play BUT i hope we never 1178 00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:15,080 Speaker 2: see this young man on the field yet he made 1179 00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:18,239 Speaker 2: to fifty three man, roster and That's Graham. MERTZ i 1180 00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:20,120 Speaker 2: feel like That minnesota game AND i set it off In. 1181 00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:22,840 Speaker 2: Nick The minnesota game not really, emblematic but what he 1182 00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:25,400 Speaker 2: did throughout training. Camp what did you see From graham 1183 00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:27,960 Speaker 2: throughout the entire training camp that made you feel comfortable 1184 00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:28,600 Speaker 2: keeping him on the. 1185 00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:30,760 Speaker 9: Sure, really from the time he walked in the building 1186 00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:32,920 Speaker 9: In may to kind of this point here has been very. 1187 00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:36,239 Speaker 9: Consistent he was in a situation where his season was 1188 00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:39,640 Speaker 9: cut short At florida last year with the injury pretty well. 1189 00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:42,320 Speaker 9: DOCUMENTED i think they actually talked about it on The 1190 00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:45,040 Speaker 9: Whole Sec show In, netflix which happened to, watch and 1191 00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:47,279 Speaker 9: it was a good snapshot of where he, was some 1192 00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:48,919 Speaker 9: of the things that he had to go through from 1193 00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:51,160 Speaker 9: the injury to the time that we drafted him and 1194 00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:51,960 Speaker 9: then when he walked in the. 1195 00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:54,000 Speaker 8: Building graham is a really smart. Katy it works very. 1196 00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:55,560 Speaker 8: Hard the big thing from. 1197 00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:58,239 Speaker 9: His standpoint is working on his lower body strength and 1198 00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:01,880 Speaker 9: flexibility and just playing. Football when you haven't been hit 1199 00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:03,959 Speaker 9: in a, while when that's the first time you're playing, 1200 00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:06,319 Speaker 9: football there's gonna be an adjustment period that we all 1201 00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:08,040 Speaker 9: have to go, through that all the players. 1202 00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:08,040 Speaker 8: Have to go. 1203 00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:10,920 Speaker 9: Through but he's handled. Everything he understands kind of what 1204 00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,560 Speaker 9: his role is on the, team and he's. Prepared he's, 1205 00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:15,960 Speaker 9: smart he works, hard and then when he went out 1206 00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:18,440 Speaker 9: there against The lions took advantage of his, Opportunity but 1207 00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:20,319 Speaker 9: you as a, player we drafted him for a reason 1208 00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:21,799 Speaker 9: because we felt this is a player that we wanted 1209 00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:24,200 Speaker 9: to work with on our. Program and he's certainly made 1210 00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:25,200 Speaker 9: progress and glad he's. 1211 00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:27,840 Speaker 1: Here nixt some of the new additions when you acquire, 1212 00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:31,400 Speaker 1: Them Christian, KIRK. Cj, Gardner, johnson players like. That do 1213 00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:34,680 Speaker 1: you know automatically he's gonna play in this spot and 1214 00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:37,040 Speaker 1: this is what he's gonna, do or is it let's 1215 00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:39,440 Speaker 1: get everybody together and figure it out sort of as we. 1216 00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:42,080 Speaker 9: Go, well that's a great question mark in some, cases, 1217 00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:46,080 Speaker 9: yes some cases not. Necessarily as an, example what safeties 1218 00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:47,960 Speaker 9: do they have multi position? 1219 00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:49,480 Speaker 8: Flexibility are they a safety? 1220 00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:52,279 Speaker 9: Only we've SEEN cj play a lot of, football he played, 1221 00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:55,080 Speaker 9: safety he's actually played some, nickel he's played some, dime 1222 00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:58,520 Speaker 9: and then In, kirk he's played inside the, formation outside the. Formation, 1223 00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:00,719 Speaker 9: really what we try to do is say who are the, 1224 00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:03,960 Speaker 9: players how do we best allocate our resources and put 1225 00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:06,640 Speaker 9: them in a position where they can maximize their overall skills. 1226 00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:08,920 Speaker 9: Set BUT i would say both players have a certain 1227 00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:11,840 Speaker 9: degree of. Flexibility how we actually deploy them will probably 1228 00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:13,000 Speaker 9: change during the course of the. 1229 00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:16,040 Speaker 2: Year So i've waited this. LONG i can't Believe i've 1230 00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:18,719 Speaker 2: made it this long without talking about a little. Longer 1231 00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:21,880 Speaker 2: AND i, know BUT i just feel like it's. TIME i, 1232 00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:24,160 Speaker 2: mean we've been talking about this for a. While we're 1233 00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:26,680 Speaker 2: talking about twenty twenty. Five the schedule comes, out it's 1234 00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:27,479 Speaker 2: The Rams week. 1235 00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:27,799 Speaker 3: One. 1236 00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:31,239 Speaker 2: Okay it's AN nfc, team which is always kind of 1237 00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:34,719 Speaker 2: fun in a sense because we don't get to see 1238 00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:37,160 Speaker 2: this team, often which makes the scouting report for The 1239 00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:40,040 Speaker 2: rams all the more. Interesting it starts With Matt, stafford we, 1240 00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:42,279 Speaker 2: think deal with the back, issue but one of the 1241 00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:44,920 Speaker 2: best defensive lines in the, league offensive line. 1242 00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:46,560 Speaker 1: That's worked together a couple of really good. 1243 00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:48,600 Speaker 2: Backs what are your thoughts about The rams and what 1244 00:54:48,640 --> 00:54:50,360 Speaker 2: you'll see the scouting report for The rams here we. 1245 00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:54,320 Speaker 9: Go, sure great program top to, bottom significant challenge in 1246 00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:56,000 Speaker 9: front of. Us it starts to the, top you, know 1247 00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:59,040 Speaker 9: with coach McVeigh and unless they put together an unbelievable, 1248 00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:01,000 Speaker 9: team they've had a program that's been in place for 1249 00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:03,839 Speaker 9: a number of. Years Kevin demoff is involved in in 1250 00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:06,360 Speaker 9: their program as, well so they have really good leadership 1251 00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:08,920 Speaker 9: on the top, end a good, coordinator they have a 1252 00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:11,359 Speaker 9: lot of continuity and a lot of stability that's been 1253 00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:13,560 Speaker 9: put in place on the defensive side of. All Chris 1254 00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:17,880 Speaker 9: shulos defensive, coordinator reverly, good really good, coach And chris 1255 00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:19,560 Speaker 9: kind of bought his time and did a really good 1256 00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:22,400 Speaker 9: job last year with his opportunity happen to coach one 1257 00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:24,200 Speaker 9: year At John carroll as, well so he has a 1258 00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:27,160 Speaker 9: feather in his. Cap And Chase blackburn and the kicking, 1259 00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:29,520 Speaker 9: game you, know played in the league and it's done 1260 00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:32,160 Speaker 9: a good job in a kicking. Game so really good coaching, 1261 00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:35,400 Speaker 9: staff really good, coordinators and offensively and, defensively they have 1262 00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:37,719 Speaker 9: a lot of good football. Players you started you mentioned 1263 00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:41,120 Speaker 9: the defensive side of the. Football probably we'll see how it. 1264 00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:42,719 Speaker 9: Goes we're going to see a number of good fronts 1265 00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:44,959 Speaker 9: throughout the course of the. Year but really one through, 1266 00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:47,760 Speaker 9: four in one through, five if you Include Poona ford 1267 00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:49,480 Speaker 9: who they signed in the. Offseason he was kind of 1268 00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:52,359 Speaker 9: a little i'd, say an underrated not really talked about very, 1269 00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:56,600 Speaker 9: much but he's gonna help their. Team Between, Fisk, kobe you, 1270 00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:59,680 Speaker 9: Know young And verse And, ford everything starts with the. 1271 00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:02,040 Speaker 9: FRONT i, mean have done an unbelievable. Job they cause 1272 00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:03,600 Speaker 9: a lot of, problems SO i mean it's going to 1273 00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:05,399 Speaker 9: be a big part of the. Game have a number 1274 00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:08,480 Speaker 9: of players at the linebacker and secondary, level very, instinctive 1275 00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:11,359 Speaker 9: some younger, players some veteran. PLAYERS i Think landman who 1276 00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:14,000 Speaker 9: they signed In atlanta From atlanta have been a very 1277 00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:16,359 Speaker 9: productive football. Player sounds like he's the start at mike 1278 00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:18,920 Speaker 9: and be the signal. Caller and it's funny when you 1279 00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:21,440 Speaker 9: look at the actual composition of the linebacker, room all 1280 00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:24,560 Speaker 9: those players are. Undrafted so it's a great job by 1281 00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:27,880 Speaker 9: their group finding players who maybe aren't highly thought, of 1282 00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:30,120 Speaker 9: but are good football players and have found a way to. 1283 00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:33,000 Speaker 9: Stick curle is going to make a big, impact made 1284 00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:35,000 Speaker 9: a good impact for. Him they draft The kitchens last, 1285 00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:37,520 Speaker 9: year so good safety. Group and THEN i would Say 1286 00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:39,920 Speaker 9: lake kind of fills some of the roles That petrie 1287 00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:43,320 Speaker 9: does for, us kind of nickel to, safety another undrafted 1288 00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:46,560 Speaker 9: or late round, player AND i have his experience at 1289 00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:49,560 Speaker 9: corner With witherspoon And. Williams so this is a pretty 1290 00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:51,640 Speaker 9: deep football team on a defensive side of the, ball and. 1291 00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:54,480 Speaker 9: Offensively you mentioned, It, johnny everything starts With. MATTHEW i, 1292 00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:56,279 Speaker 9: mean one of the best quarterbacks in the history of the, 1293 00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:59,200 Speaker 9: league Borderline hall Of. Famer he's going to be. There 1294 00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:01,239 Speaker 9: he's as tough as a player in the. League and 1295 00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:03,279 Speaker 9: if he can't, GO i, mean they basically have another 1296 00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:06,680 Speaker 9: starting quarterback In Jimmy. Garoppolo adams is obviously a big 1297 00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:09,600 Speaker 9: signing for them this. Offseason i'd say The adams, acquisition 1298 00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:12,040 Speaker 9: along with the drafting Of ferguson at tight, end it's 1299 00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:14,640 Speaker 9: going to make a big imprint on the. Offense and 1300 00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:17,320 Speaker 9: they Drafted hunter in the fourth. Round similar we Drafted 1301 00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:19,280 Speaker 9: Woody marx AND i think he's probably gonna make a 1302 00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:21,160 Speaker 9: little bit of impact for him at some. Point Understanding 1303 00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:22,840 Speaker 9: kyron's is good of an all round back in the, 1304 00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:26,440 Speaker 9: league but deep at tight, end good receiver, group and 1305 00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:28,800 Speaker 9: you throw A puka in, there WHO i, Mean puka's 1306 00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:31,720 Speaker 9: career kind of speaks for himself to this. Point and 1307 00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:33,280 Speaker 9: then they have some players in the kicking game that 1308 00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:35,440 Speaker 9: can be a. Factor so this is a very good football. 1309 00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:37,160 Speaker 9: Team they won THE Nfc, west they made it to 1310 00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:39,240 Speaker 9: the divisional, round Had philly on a, rope so we 1311 00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:41,480 Speaker 9: understand a challenge in front of us on a road opening, 1312 00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:45,040 Speaker 9: day so which brings some challenges in and of, itself 1313 00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:46,600 Speaker 9: but hopefully our team will be ready to. 1314 00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:48,480 Speaker 1: GO a lot of people talk, about, Well dimiko has 1315 00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:50,960 Speaker 1: seen them before as a defensive, coordinator but can you 1316 00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:53,760 Speaker 1: discuss the way they've evolved running the. Football they've changed 1317 00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:54,200 Speaker 1: things a little. 1318 00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:54,800 Speaker 8: Bit, yeah for. 1319 00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:58,240 Speaker 9: Sure it really goes back to When kyle when they drafted, 1320 00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:00,120 Speaker 9: kyrone Then kyron is playing a little bit, more or 1321 00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:02,600 Speaker 9: they started to go to a little bit more gun 1322 00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:06,240 Speaker 9: pistol not necessarily under. Center you saw that evolved and 1323 00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:09,040 Speaker 9: Something shawn had talked, about not this, year but previous, 1324 00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:11,919 Speaker 9: years how they made a subtle. Tweak AND i think 1325 00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:14,280 Speaker 9: that's kind of the brilliance Of sean is just his 1326 00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:16,080 Speaker 9: ability to kind of see things and make some. 1327 00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:17,720 Speaker 8: Adjustments and all good coaches do. 1328 00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:20,080 Speaker 9: That you kind of have some core things that you believe, 1329 00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:21,680 Speaker 9: in some things in, place but then at some point 1330 00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:23,640 Speaker 9: you have to evolve and make an adjustment or make a, 1331 00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:26,280 Speaker 9: change and they did that. Offensively so the run game 1332 00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:27,960 Speaker 9: certainly has evolved over the course of. 1333 00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:31,560 Speaker 2: Time, nick what's the biggest challenge In week one from 1334 00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:35,960 Speaker 2: a preparation, Standpoint because you don't want to overdo, it 1335 00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:38,600 Speaker 2: but you don't want to make sure that you want 1336 00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:40,120 Speaker 2: to make sure you got everything in that you want 1337 00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:40,760 Speaker 2: to have in for this. 1338 00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:42,320 Speaker 1: Plictar how tough is that in week? 1339 00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:46,120 Speaker 2: One and also on that the non scouted look something they, 1340 00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:48,680 Speaker 2: show you're, like, whoa we haven't seen? That how quick 1341 00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:50,200 Speaker 2: do you have to be able to adapt to those 1342 00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:52,120 Speaker 2: things and get them taken care of so they don't 1343 00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:52,880 Speaker 2: fester throughout the? 1344 00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:54,920 Speaker 8: Game, really that's what week one is about across the. 1345 00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:58,160 Speaker 9: LEAGUE a lot of unknowns from a personnel, standpoint schematic, 1346 00:58:58,200 --> 00:59:00,200 Speaker 9: standpoint what are some of the tweaks the team have? 1347 00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:02,080 Speaker 9: Made so really you have to go back to your 1348 00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:04,680 Speaker 9: fundamentals and your, foundation your core, principle some of the 1349 00:59:04,720 --> 00:59:06,680 Speaker 9: things that you've been doing going all the way back 1350 00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:08,280 Speaker 9: to the, spring and then once you get into the, 1351 00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:10,800 Speaker 9: game the game will start to. Evolve then you can 1352 00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:12,680 Speaker 9: figure out how do we need to adjust or a 1353 00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:14,400 Speaker 9: little bit less of, this a little bit more of, 1354 00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:15,840 Speaker 9: this and just kind of figure out how the game 1355 00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:17,360 Speaker 9: is being. PLAYED i think the big thing is from 1356 00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:20,600 Speaker 9: a personnel, standpoint how are they going to deploy some 1357 00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:22,240 Speaker 9: of the new, players where are they going to line? 1358 00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:23,200 Speaker 8: Up what's their role. 1359 00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:26,240 Speaker 9: In the Offense between ferguson Between, adams does that Affect? 1360 00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:28,080 Speaker 8: Puka are they going to use multiple? 1361 00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:30,880 Speaker 9: Backs so there's always some unknowns that take, place especially 1362 00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:32,760 Speaker 9: the opening, game and in THE rams, case none of 1363 00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:34,920 Speaker 9: these players that we're going to see On sunday have 1364 00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:37,000 Speaker 9: seen a snap in a, preseason. 1365 00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:38,240 Speaker 8: So we have to be prepared for a number of. 1366 00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:40,600 Speaker 9: Things but it just goes back to basic fundamentals and 1367 00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:43,560 Speaker 9: hopefully communication and making sure that we're doing the right things. 1368 00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:45,800 Speaker 1: Playing on The West, coast And demiko told us going 1369 00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:49,080 Speaker 1: out early for, that what is the key or a 1370 00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:51,720 Speaker 1: few of the keys in A West coast, game, bodyclock 1371 00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:52,640 Speaker 1: whatever else comes into. 1372 00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:56,280 Speaker 9: Play it's just acclimating to the overall. Climate so just 1373 00:59:56,320 --> 00:59:58,960 Speaker 9: gives us an extra. Date it kind of gets, simulated get, 1374 00:59:59,040 --> 01:00:02,520 Speaker 9: situated get maximize the, rest go through a Normal saturday. 1375 01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:07,960 Speaker 9: Preparation the game is, later it's, early but it's late 1376 01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:10,760 Speaker 9: depending on the time zone that you're, In so all 1377 01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:13,240 Speaker 9: those things kind of factor into the. Calculus and we 1378 01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:14,920 Speaker 9: felt that was the best thing for the. Team and 1379 01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:17,000 Speaker 9: we've always talked about whatever we can do to help 1380 01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:20,400 Speaker 9: the players to maximize their performance On, Sunday we're gonna 1381 01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:21,640 Speaker 9: look at and if we have to make a tweak 1382 01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:22,000 Speaker 9: along the. 1383 01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:22,880 Speaker 8: Way then then we'll do. 1384 01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:26,360 Speaker 2: That because it's AN nfc, team a team we see 1385 01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:28,760 Speaker 2: every four, years and last time we saw them twenty, 1386 01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:32,160 Speaker 2: ONE i guess was, here does it make the preparation 1387 01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:34,360 Speaker 2: more difficult because you. 1388 01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:35,800 Speaker 3: Haven't seen them at? 1389 01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:38,400 Speaker 2: All how does it kind of make the preparation because 1390 01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:39,480 Speaker 2: this is not team we face all the. 1391 01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:41,600 Speaker 9: Time, yeah with THE Nfc west in, particular we haven't 1392 01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:44,600 Speaker 9: seen this group since three or four years, ago whatever it, 1393 01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:47,320 Speaker 9: Was so that game is probably not going to be. 1394 01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:49,280 Speaker 9: Relevant what you have to go back through and go 1395 01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:51,800 Speaker 9: back through the twenty four, season what, Happened what are 1396 01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:53,720 Speaker 9: some of the things they, did and then evaluate their, 1397 01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:57,080 Speaker 9: personnel look at the. Preseason who are the new, personnel 1398 01:00:57,080 --> 01:00:59,440 Speaker 9: how are they using, them what are they? Doing the 1399 01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:02,439 Speaker 9: preseason is really not a big scheme sort of that's 1400 01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:05,080 Speaker 9: not the. Theme it's just more about getting the players to. 1401 01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:08,080 Speaker 9: Execute so they'll be an adjustment period like we just talked, 1402 01:01:08,080 --> 01:01:09,960 Speaker 9: about and we'll have to be ready to handle something 1403 01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:10,520 Speaker 9: without a. 1404 01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:13,440 Speaker 1: Doubt, well so much talk in the preseason about getting 1405 01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:15,520 Speaker 1: down to the initial fifty three and you always talk 1406 01:01:15,520 --> 01:01:17,400 Speaker 1: about the practice, squad and you got so many of 1407 01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:20,240 Speaker 1: your guys coming back to which is. Great how tough 1408 01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:23,120 Speaker 1: is it? Now who is going to dress On? Sunday 1409 01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:26,160 Speaker 1: and the guys that don't dress are good? Players whoever it, 1410 01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:28,640 Speaker 1: is they're really good, players and that's going to be 1411 01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:31,240 Speaker 1: tough to lay that news on, them if you, will 1412 01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:32,600 Speaker 1: and just get ready to play. 1413 01:01:32,520 --> 01:01:35,000 Speaker 9: For, Sure, MARK i, mean we have anywhere from five 1414 01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:38,000 Speaker 9: to seven inactive players based on if there's. Elevation so 1415 01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:40,640 Speaker 9: if you don't elevate, anybody then you go from fifty. 1416 01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:42,439 Speaker 9: Three you can only take forty eight to the. Game 1417 01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:45,240 Speaker 9: so you're gonna have to tell somebody you're not. Playing 1418 01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:47,720 Speaker 9: that is a pretty good football. Player so you just 1419 01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:49,600 Speaker 9: have to be honest with, them just to communicate with. 1420 01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:52,120 Speaker 9: Them their role could change revolve during the course of the. 1421 01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:54,520 Speaker 9: Year part of their responsibilities to prepare as if they're 1422 01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:56,880 Speaker 9: going to, play including the practice squad players like we've talked, 1423 01:01:56,920 --> 01:01:59,600 Speaker 9: about and whoever we whatever decision we make for that, 1424 01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:01,960 Speaker 9: game then we have to deal with. It and then 1425 01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:04,040 Speaker 9: once we get through The rams, game then what's our 1426 01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:06,440 Speaker 9: preparation look like for The tampa for The tampa? 1427 01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:08,080 Speaker 8: Game and are we using the same. 1428 01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:10,160 Speaker 9: Group there's always a lot of moving parts and it's never, 1429 01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:13,400 Speaker 9: easy especially if a player has earned the opportunity to. 1430 01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:16,320 Speaker 9: Play but per the, rules you can't take everybody of the, 1431 01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:18,160 Speaker 9: game so sometimes you have to make some difficult. 1432 01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:21,040 Speaker 2: Decisions, nick you mentioned one of the MOST i think 1433 01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:23,400 Speaker 2: on heralded assets Of Matt stafford's, game and that's his. 1434 01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:28,400 Speaker 2: Toughness beyond that and including that what makes him so 1435 01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:29,919 Speaker 2: difficult to, face especially In week. 1436 01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:32,880 Speaker 9: ONE a gifted thrower can get the ball to any 1437 01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:36,240 Speaker 9: parts of the. Field he probably hasn't seen. It you're 1438 01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:38,080 Speaker 9: not going to show him anything that he hasn't. Seen 1439 01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:39,600 Speaker 9: he's been in the league over many. Years he's been 1440 01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:42,400 Speaker 9: in the, league so his ability to understand and process 1441 01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:45,080 Speaker 9: information at a high rate of speed is one of his. 1442 01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:48,080 Speaker 9: Strengths and he can literally get the ball to any 1443 01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:49,800 Speaker 9: part of the. Field he can kind of adjust his 1444 01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:52,480 Speaker 9: arm angle on his arm, slot and it's hard to 1445 01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:53,840 Speaker 9: get to. HIM i, mean he gets rid of the, 1446 01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:56,000 Speaker 9: ball is a quick, release and he's willing to hang 1447 01:02:56,040 --> 01:02:58,680 Speaker 9: in the pocket and take a hit to deliver the 1448 01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:03,320 Speaker 9: ball under. Duress massive amount respect For matthew and what he's, 1449 01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:06,640 Speaker 9: done and he's earned all the accolades that he's received week. 1450 01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:09,000 Speaker 1: One when you look at all the, analytics all the 1451 01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:12,600 Speaker 1: data you have medically or whatever else on guys going 1452 01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:15,760 Speaker 1: the full distance in a game versus whatever they've done 1453 01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:17,400 Speaker 1: in the. PRESEASON i felt like there were a lot 1454 01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:19,400 Speaker 1: of reps in that joint practice with The, lions a 1455 01:03:19,400 --> 01:03:21,400 Speaker 1: lot of reps for the ones and the. Twos but 1456 01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:24,240 Speaker 1: this is a full. Game, now how does that come into? 1457 01:03:24,240 --> 01:03:26,080 Speaker 1: Play AND i got to think it really Affects week 1458 01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:26,480 Speaker 1: two as. 1459 01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:29,400 Speaker 9: Well, yeah we really the first three to four weeks 1460 01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:31,920 Speaker 9: of the, season you're kind of, all, right where are the? 1461 01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:35,360 Speaker 9: Players they have they built up enough capacity to make 1462 01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:38,880 Speaker 9: it through an entire. Game, defensively we rotate a lot 1463 01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:41,280 Speaker 9: of players in on the front, anyway so you're probably 1464 01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:43,560 Speaker 9: gonna we're gonna use our, Depth we're gonna use, everybody 1465 01:03:44,280 --> 01:03:46,880 Speaker 9: but nobody's played a full game to this. Point so sixty, 1466 01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:49,200 Speaker 9: seven sixty, five seventy plays and he decided the. Ball 1467 01:03:49,360 --> 01:03:52,240 Speaker 9: nobody has played that amount in a real game in 1468 01:03:52,280 --> 01:03:55,120 Speaker 9: twenty twenty, five and they've done it, previously, sure so 1469 01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:57,680 Speaker 9: we're gonna have to monitor that and see what their loads, 1470 01:03:57,680 --> 01:04:00,200 Speaker 9: are what are their, speeds and then their recovery after the. 1471 01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:02,720 Speaker 9: Game but the first, week the first few weeks are 1472 01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:04,640 Speaker 9: all kind of tied together because then you might have 1473 01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:06,760 Speaker 9: to look at. Practice how do we just practice and 1474 01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:08,640 Speaker 9: then we're gonna be so it's gonna be a long, 1475 01:04:08,680 --> 01:04:10,280 Speaker 9: week but then it's gonna be a short. Week so 1476 01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:12,840 Speaker 9: how you handle that in nearly part of the, season you, 1477 01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:13,960 Speaker 9: know will be important part of our. 1478 01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:18,560 Speaker 2: Process, nick right before the roster is unveiled, Announced joe's 1479 01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:20,200 Speaker 2: gonna be out of at least the first four.

Career they've all 1486 01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:36,760 Speaker 9: helped their respective, teams you, know when they've been called. 1487 01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:38,960 Speaker 9: Upon so we're gonna need everybody not only in that 1488 01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:41,439 Speaker 9: room but throughout the team as. Well BUT i feel 1489 01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:43,360 Speaker 9: like we have pretty good. Depth they're all kind of 1490 01:04:43,360 --> 01:04:45,360 Speaker 9: different in terms of what they bring to the. Table 1491 01:04:45,560 --> 01:04:47,840 Speaker 9: nick is his own, ENTITY dp has the things that 1492 01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:50,800 Speaker 9: he brings to the. Table daara probably has the most 1493 01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:53,680 Speaker 9: comprehensive role because he has a role offensively and in 1494 01:04:53,720 --> 01:04:54,440 Speaker 9: a kicking game as. 1495 01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:56,960 Speaker 8: Well and Then woody has a pretty good skill. 1496 01:04:57,000 --> 01:04:59,200 Speaker 9: Set so how we're actually able to incorporate that with 1497 01:04:59,240 --> 01:05:00,840 Speaker 9: any offense kind of have to see how it. 1498 01:05:00,880 --> 01:05:03,040 Speaker 1: Unfolds SO i know there's a whole thing going on 1499 01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:05,880 Speaker 1: in this building with you and your staff deploying guys 1500 01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:10,320 Speaker 1: out to watch college and start.

US i get a weekly update Usually 1513 01:05:40,760 --> 01:05:44,560 Speaker 9: monday Or tuesday from what everybody saw that particular, week 1514 01:05:44,600 --> 01:05:45,840 Speaker 9: and it started to start to build. 1515 01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:48,200 Speaker 8: Up you know my document as. Well so done a. 1516 01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:49,680 Speaker 9: Lot of work on a lot of players over the 1517 01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:52,439 Speaker 9: course of the, spring and then we'll be selective here, 1518 01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:54,919 Speaker 9: picking you, know picking the spots here during the course 1519 01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:57,160 Speaker 9: of the during the course of the season might be 1520 01:05:57,160 --> 01:06:00,360 Speaker 9: an opportunity to get over THE sc game they're, PLAYING 1521 01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:02,200 Speaker 9: i want to, Say saturday night or something like. That 1522 01:06:02,240 --> 01:06:04,800 Speaker 9: so we'll try to maximize our opportunities and try to 1523 01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:06,120 Speaker 9: utilize our resources as best we. 1524 01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:09,480 Speaker 2: Can so this happened in week zero At. Stanford i'm 1525 01:06:09,480 --> 01:06:11,960 Speaker 2: going somewhere with, This Stanford. Hawaii stanford kicked the ball 1526 01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:14,600 Speaker 2: off and the ball hit the ground and it popped 1527 01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:15,960 Speaker 2: up in the air and it keep was standing at 1528 01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:17,800 Speaker 2: the one yard line and he then waved a fair 1529 01:06:17,880 --> 01:06:21,160 Speaker 2: catch and caught the, ball thinking, well the ball should 1530 01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:23,280 Speaker 2: go to the twenty five yard. Line and it got 1531 01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:25,760 Speaker 2: me thinking about have they talked about? 1532 01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:27,200 Speaker 3: That do you? 1533 01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:29,040 Speaker 2: Do you do you guys as a staff sit and 1534 01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:32,000 Speaker 2: talk with the players about particular new rules or new 1535 01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:34,120 Speaker 2: things that have popped up that they should be aware. 1536 01:06:34,120 --> 01:06:36,160 Speaker 2: Of because he didn't realize, it AND i don't know 1537 01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:37,560 Speaker 2: if you ever knew, It but is that something that 1538 01:06:37,560 --> 01:06:38,480 Speaker 2: you guys talk about as a. 1539 01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:40,800 Speaker 9: Staff, Nick, yeah there's so many rules you have to 1540 01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:44,000 Speaker 9: be careful. Of inundated with too much, information but what 1541 01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:45,880 Speaker 9: are the ones that are relevant and what are the 1542 01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:48,000 Speaker 9: ones that are kind of germane maybe that are new 1543 01:06:48,200 --> 01:06:51,480 Speaker 9: or new ish really in THE, nfl to kickoff sort 1544 01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:53,800 Speaker 9: of adjustment or rules probably the biggest. Thing there's some 1545 01:06:53,840 --> 01:06:56,240 Speaker 9: other minor tweaks that they've, made but just understanding the. 1546 01:06:56,280 --> 01:07:00,000 Speaker 9: Rules what happens where the ball is. Kicked if it's kicked, 1547 01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:02,959 Speaker 9: here here's what. Happens or if this action takes, place 1548 01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:06,600 Speaker 9: here's what. Happens so you prepare for. It, inevitably there's 1549 01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:07,880 Speaker 9: going to be things that come up in the. Game 1550 01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:10,560 Speaker 9: maybe we haven't talked about or that we haven't, practiced 1551 01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:12,760 Speaker 9: but it's a learning. Opportunity so you take the information 1552 01:07:13,120 --> 01:07:14,640 Speaker 9: and the next time that you're put in a, position 1553 01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:16,440 Speaker 9: hopefully you make the right the right. 1554 01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:17,880 Speaker 8: Decision the thirty. 1555 01:07:17,600 --> 01:07:21,560 Speaker 1: Five yard line touchback feels radical in that everything's going 1556 01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:23,240 Speaker 1: to be returned now because you don't want to give 1557 01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:24,920 Speaker 1: up the thirty five yard. Lines so we're going to 1558 01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:28,240 Speaker 1: see a lot more. Action and the Way emy kicks 1559 01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:30,360 Speaker 1: the ball off a lot of bad hops off his. 1560 01:07:30,480 --> 01:07:33,000 Speaker 1: Kickoffs if he can get it to squib inside the, twenty. 1561 01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:35,320 Speaker 9: Yeah everybody'll probably have a philosophy that they're going to 1562 01:07:35,360 --> 01:07:37,280 Speaker 9: go with ur in a, year the ball handling will 1563 01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:40,880 Speaker 9: be important and the kicker's ability to change his dijectory 1564 01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:45,080 Speaker 9: and put the turner in a difficult. Spot that'll probably 1565 01:07:45,120 --> 01:07:47,080 Speaker 9: be a part of the strategy and the calculus that's. 1566 01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:49,680 Speaker 9: Involved so something that we spend time on here in the. 1567 01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:52,120 Speaker 9: Spring once you get into the, game kind of see 1568 01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:54,880 Speaker 9: how it. Evolves but really the line of demarcation there 1569 01:07:54,920 --> 01:07:56,760 Speaker 9: is the twenty yard. Line so whatever you're going to, 1570 01:07:56,840 --> 01:07:59,240 Speaker 9: do better make sure it gets past the twenty because 1571 01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:01,120 Speaker 9: if it, doesn't then balls at the forty then you 1572 01:08:01,120 --> 01:08:03,440 Speaker 9: basically cut the field in half at that. 1573 01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:06,040 Speaker 2: Point with what we would think is going to be 1574 01:08:06,080 --> 01:08:09,240 Speaker 2: more returns in the, game does, that as you're talking 1575 01:08:09,240 --> 01:08:11,920 Speaker 2: about kind of bridging the gap the conversation of you, 1576 01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:14,880 Speaker 2: know the twenty twenty SIX Nfl, draft because we're gonna 1577 01:08:14,880 --> 01:08:18,280 Speaker 2: have more, returns does that add that other wrinkle to 1578 01:08:18,320 --> 01:08:20,640 Speaker 2: it that you want to see From hey, man this 1579 01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:23,360 Speaker 2: guy returns, kicks you, know Like ancepsion for a and 1580 01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:25,439 Speaker 2: m he returned to punt the other. Night hey he 1581 01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:27,519 Speaker 2: becomes maybe a little bit more valuable because now the 1582 01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:29,360 Speaker 2: return game is that much more value because we have 1583 01:08:29,439 --> 01:08:30,360 Speaker 2: more returns than we've ever. 1584 01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:34,240 Speaker 9: Had, no it's a good, Question. Johnny let's say case by, 1585 01:08:34,320 --> 01:08:37,599 Speaker 9: case more than likely ball. Handling the ball, handlers they're 1586 01:08:37,600 --> 01:08:39,439 Speaker 9: probably gonna put a premium on. That BUT i would 1587 01:08:39,439 --> 01:08:42,440 Speaker 9: say kickoff return through the, years sometimes it's a trainable. 1588 01:08:42,479 --> 01:08:45,280 Speaker 9: Skill maybe you have a player that hasn't handled the, 1589 01:08:45,280 --> 01:08:47,120 Speaker 9: ball but you try him back. There i'd Say pierce 1590 01:08:47,240 --> 01:08:49,360 Speaker 9: is a really good example of. That we didn't Draft 1591 01:08:49,360 --> 01:08:50,800 Speaker 9: piers because we thought he was going to be a 1592 01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:53,240 Speaker 9: kickoff return he's kind of evolved in that because of 1593 01:08:53,240 --> 01:08:54,680 Speaker 9: his ability to make plays with the ball in his. 1594 01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:57,639 Speaker 9: Hand punt return is a teachable skill or trainable. Skill 1595 01:08:57,640 --> 01:08:59,160 Speaker 9: you've seen a number of players that hadn't done it 1596 01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:01,639 Speaker 9: before they learn it once they get in THE. Nfl 1597 01:09:01,720 --> 01:09:04,680 Speaker 9: so it depends on the player's capacity and ability to 1598 01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:07,160 Speaker 9: take coaching and. Learn if they've done, it they have 1599 01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:09,519 Speaker 9: experience doing, it we certainly make a note and then 1600 01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:11,160 Speaker 9: we're going to evaluate it and if it's something that 1601 01:09:11,160 --> 01:09:14,120 Speaker 9: we can incorporate to our, advantage and we'll certainly look. 1602 01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:16,960 Speaker 1: At i've got one more so quick family, Update, nick 1603 01:09:17,040 --> 01:09:19,920 Speaker 1: because this is your fifth season that you are starting, 1604 01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:22,639 Speaker 1: here with The Houston texans.

Teams you know the voice That, Texans 1638 01:10:52,720 --> 01:10:55,200 Speaker 2: mark Vandermir but how about the voice of The, RAMS. 1639 01:10:55,400 --> 01:10:55,920 Speaker 3: Jb. 1640 01:10:56,080 --> 01:10:58,040 Speaker 2: Long we don't get together with The rams. Much this 1641 01:10:58,200 --> 01:11:00,160 Speaker 2: was Fun mark AND jb discussing this On. 1642 01:11:00,320 --> 01:11:01,120 Speaker 3: Sunday all, right J. 1643 01:11:01,320 --> 01:11:05,880 Speaker 1: B characterize the preseason for. Me The nation from the 1644 01:11:05,880 --> 01:11:09,639 Speaker 1: outside looking in sees No Matthew stafford for a huge 1645 01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:12,519 Speaker 1: chunk of this. Preseason is that how you saw it 1646 01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:14,439 Speaker 1: from the. Inside it's just one of the THINGS i, 1647 01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:16,320 Speaker 1: know because you have a whole team to get ready. 1648 01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:18,639 Speaker 1: For but can you just sort of sum up what 1649 01:11:18,680 --> 01:11:22,280 Speaker 1: you saw in the preseason training camp from THE La. 1650 01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:24,760 Speaker 4: Rams, yeah there's a lot in there and it's good 1651 01:11:24,760 --> 01:11:27,200 Speaker 4: to be with, You. MARK i would say the, preseason 1652 01:11:27,240 --> 01:11:29,439 Speaker 4: in terms of the three games that they actually played 1653 01:11:29,479 --> 01:11:33,200 Speaker 4: IN nfl, stadiums probably give credence to the fact that 1654 01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:35,880 Speaker 4: this is one of the deepest and most built out 1655 01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:39,519 Speaker 4: rosters That sean McVay has been treated to in his 1656 01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:43,519 Speaker 4: eight years with the. Franchise THE jv, team if you, 1657 01:11:43,560 --> 01:11:45,680 Speaker 4: will looks pretty. Good as we, know McVeigh does not 1658 01:11:45,760 --> 01:11:49,720 Speaker 4: play top line guys In, august and so those that 1659 01:11:49,760 --> 01:11:52,320 Speaker 4: you'll see AT Sofi stadium this weekend did not dress 1660 01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:56,800 Speaker 4: largely for those preseason. GAMES i would, say with respect To, 1661 01:11:56,920 --> 01:12:03,080 Speaker 4: stafford that there is cautious optimism right now and really 1662 01:12:03,120 --> 01:12:05,840 Speaker 4: in the trailing month since the disc issue in his 1663 01:12:05,960 --> 01:12:09,400 Speaker 4: back was, announced AND i would say that, issue combined 1664 01:12:09,439 --> 01:12:12,799 Speaker 4: with starting left Tackle Alaric jackson having a blood clot 1665 01:12:12,840 --> 01:12:16,360 Speaker 4: recurrence that has also prevented him from playing at full 1666 01:12:16,400 --> 01:12:19,000 Speaker 4: speed to this, point though he is expected to start this, 1667 01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:22,679 Speaker 4: WEEKEND i would say those two things temper what would 1668 01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:26,200 Speaker 4: be just outrageous abundant optimism and leave it right now 1669 01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:29,200 Speaker 4: in that cautious optimism. Category in terms of what this 1670 01:12:29,280 --> 01:12:30,120 Speaker 4: team is capable. 1671 01:12:30,160 --> 01:12:32,920 Speaker 1: Of all, right so tell me about the running attack 1672 01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:37,679 Speaker 1: Because williams looks so good and fourteen touchdowns last, year 1673 01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:40,160 Speaker 1: what is that fifth in the. League they like to 1674 01:12:40,240 --> 01:12:42,559 Speaker 1: run the. Rocket it's different from a few years. Ago 1675 01:12:42,680 --> 01:12:44,920 Speaker 1: so can you talk about the evolution of the running 1676 01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:46,040 Speaker 1: game and how it helps them? 1677 01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:48,599 Speaker 4: Out, yeah that's. RIGHT i mean it's no longer an 1678 01:12:48,600 --> 01:12:52,559 Speaker 4: outside zone based running. ATTACK i think they've built this 1679 01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:55,439 Speaker 4: offensive line through a couple of different, iterations with a 1680 01:12:55,439 --> 01:12:58,840 Speaker 4: couple of intentions in. Mind one being more stout guard 1681 01:12:58,840 --> 01:13:01,120 Speaker 4: to guard in front of an Agent Matthew, stafford who's 1682 01:13:01,160 --> 01:13:03,839 Speaker 4: clearly not the most mobile quarterback that he's not statue. 1683 01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:07,240 Speaker 4: Esque and THEN i think playing to kyen, strings which, 1684 01:13:07,320 --> 01:13:10,719 Speaker 4: is you, know kind of running behind some downhill duo double, 1685 01:13:10,800 --> 01:13:16,840 Speaker 4: teams manipulating, linebackers taking what's been blocked for. Him so 1686 01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:19,920 Speaker 4: it's taken a few swings at it to get this. 1687 01:13:20,080 --> 01:13:22,720 Speaker 4: RIGHT i think Bringing Coleman shelton back From chicago to 1688 01:13:22,720 --> 01:13:26,280 Speaker 4: place center is a really big piece. There the thing 1689 01:13:26,360 --> 01:13:28,320 Speaker 4: mark with The rams running game is that it was 1690 01:13:28,360 --> 01:13:32,080 Speaker 4: efficient but not, explosive and in addition to some fumbling, 1691 01:13:32,120 --> 01:13:35,000 Speaker 4: Woes Kyron williams basically just ran into the end zone 1692 01:13:35,600 --> 01:13:37,920 Speaker 4: almost all of his touches from the five or, In 1693 01:13:38,439 --> 01:13:40,640 Speaker 4: AND i think a real key to this season is 1694 01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:43,080 Speaker 4: can the rams be more explosive with the running. Game. 1695 01:13:43,400 --> 01:13:46,519 Speaker 4: Now he's not going to transform Into Emmett smith at 1696 01:13:46,520 --> 01:13:49,240 Speaker 4: age twenty. Five he's not suddenly just going to Be Chris. 1697 01:13:49,320 --> 01:13:52,200 Speaker 4: Johnson but WHAT i do Think kyron is going to 1698 01:13:52,240 --> 01:13:55,360 Speaker 4: benefit from this year is feasting on light boxes the 1699 01:13:55,360 --> 01:13:57,080 Speaker 4: way he did at the end of the twenty three, 1700 01:13:57,160 --> 01:13:59,280 Speaker 4: season when he probably won a bunch of your listeners 1701 01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:03,000 Speaker 4: Some fantasy foot ball championships last. YEAR i just don't 1702 01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:06,960 Speaker 4: think the skill group here In Los angeles struck much 1703 01:14:06,960 --> 01:14:09,320 Speaker 4: fear in. DEFENSES i think defense were able to just 1704 01:14:09,439 --> 01:14:13,200 Speaker 4: play this team straight up now At DeVante, adams a 1705 01:14:13,240 --> 01:14:17,080 Speaker 4: Healthy Tyler higbee at tight, end a drafted tight end 1706 01:14:17,080 --> 01:14:19,920 Speaker 4: In Terrence ferguson going into his rookie campaign who can 1707 01:14:19,960 --> 01:14:23,360 Speaker 4: run slot fades and run like a. GAZELLE i think 1708 01:14:23,400 --> 01:14:25,960 Speaker 4: that changes the math for, defenses AND i think you'll 1709 01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:29,879 Speaker 4: see them react, accordingly which Allows, nickveigh the offensive architect 1710 01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:33,240 Speaker 4: and play, caller to manipulate those tendencies. 1711 01:14:33,400 --> 01:14:35,679 Speaker 1: Well put STUFF i was gonna ask you About adams 1712 01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:39,160 Speaker 1: because it almost seems. Unfair you Have cooper cupp and 1713 01:14:39,240 --> 01:14:42,439 Speaker 1: he's no longer. There now you slide In Devontae. Adams 1714 01:14:42,479 --> 01:14:45,559 Speaker 1: you get everybody healthy and it looks pretty. Good are 1715 01:14:45,600 --> 01:14:47,600 Speaker 1: you happy with the rest of the offensive line the 1716 01:14:47,600 --> 01:14:49,599 Speaker 1: way it's laid out right? Now you talked about the, 1717 01:14:49,640 --> 01:14:54,400 Speaker 1: Center you talked about the tackle. Situation if there's one through. 1718 01:14:54,240 --> 01:14:57,240 Speaker 4: Line to success or failure in the McVay, era its 1719 01:14:57,280 --> 01:15:01,040 Speaker 4: offensive line. Continuity in seventeen, eighteen when he was hot 1720 01:15:01,040 --> 01:15:02,960 Speaker 4: on the, scene he was able to start the same 1721 01:15:03,040 --> 01:15:05,840 Speaker 4: five up front without fail and it led them to 1722 01:15:05,840 --> 01:15:08,760 Speaker 4: A Super. BOWL a lot of the same was true 1723 01:15:08,800 --> 01:15:11,759 Speaker 4: in twenty twenty. One in the intervening, years when they've 1724 01:15:11,800 --> 01:15:16,360 Speaker 4: had injury woes along their offensive, line it looks pretty 1725 01:15:16,400 --> 01:15:20,240 Speaker 4: tenuous and the whole operation has been. Disrupted BUT i 1726 01:15:20,240 --> 01:15:23,640 Speaker 4: Think sean operates on two. Premises playing quarterback is the 1727 01:15:23,640 --> 01:15:26,280 Speaker 4: hardest thing to do athletically in the. Planet so anything 1728 01:15:26,320 --> 01:15:29,320 Speaker 4: you can do to make the quarterbacks life, easier including 1729 01:15:29,320 --> 01:15:32,000 Speaker 4: pre snap motion and play fakes and play action, game 1730 01:15:32,880 --> 01:15:35,800 Speaker 4: that's what his sole focus is all week. Long and 1731 01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:37,680 Speaker 4: then the second toughest thing to do in football is 1732 01:15:37,720 --> 01:15:41,439 Speaker 4: probably block these freak athletes that are now pass, rushers 1733 01:15:41,520 --> 01:15:43,160 Speaker 4: not just on the edge but on the. Interior And 1734 01:15:43,240 --> 01:15:45,200 Speaker 4: houston's got as many good ones as any team in the. 1735 01:15:45,280 --> 01:15:48,240 Speaker 4: League and so anything you can do to help your offensive, 1736 01:15:48,360 --> 01:15:52,320 Speaker 4: line either with your play design or your pass protection, 1737 01:15:52,479 --> 01:15:56,120 Speaker 4: schemes or devoting an extra to your blocking, surface that's 1738 01:15:56,160 --> 01:15:59,160 Speaker 4: really WHERE i think the focus of this year's offense will. 1739 01:15:59,200 --> 01:16:01,840 Speaker 4: Be how quickly can you get it out Of Matthew stafford's? 1740 01:16:01,840 --> 01:16:03,960 Speaker 4: Hand how many extra beats can you give him in 1741 01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:07,559 Speaker 4: pass protection when he's operating from the clean pocket Mark 1742 01:16:07,600 --> 01:16:09,800 Speaker 4: he's still one of the five best arms on the 1743 01:16:09,840 --> 01:16:12,880 Speaker 4: planet throwing a football when it's muddy in front of, 1744 01:16:12,960 --> 01:16:15,519 Speaker 4: Him he's average at, Best AND i think last year 1745 01:16:15,560 --> 01:16:16,559 Speaker 4: really drove that point. 1746 01:16:16,560 --> 01:16:19,760 Speaker 1: Home All, RIGHT. Jb long joining us voice of THE La, 1747 01:16:19,960 --> 01:16:23,760 Speaker 1: rams tell me about verse and this. Defense you Got, 1748 01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:26,800 Speaker 1: fisk you got a really tough, front and a lot 1749 01:16:26,840 --> 01:16:28,840 Speaker 1: of people here are looking at that part of the 1750 01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:31,960 Speaker 1: matchup as the biggest one as far as The texans chances, 1751 01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:36,320 Speaker 1: go because they have a, revamped, improving but revamped offensive. 1752 01:16:36,360 --> 01:16:40,040 Speaker 4: Line, YEAH i Think Damiico ryan's probably just said it 1753 01:16:40,120 --> 01:16:43,720 Speaker 4: best this week that this game hinges on two ferocious 1754 01:16:43,760 --> 01:16:46,760 Speaker 4: pass rushes and offensive lines that hope to be better 1755 01:16:46,800 --> 01:16:49,360 Speaker 4: equipped to stop them In week, One And i'm not 1756 01:16:49,520 --> 01:16:53,960 Speaker 4: sure that there is a defense THAT i would less 1757 01:16:54,200 --> 01:16:57,519 Speaker 4: like to see Than, houston's given the state Of Matthew 1758 01:16:57,560 --> 01:17:01,880 Speaker 4: stafford's back and his age thirty. Seven and, Conversely i'm 1759 01:17:01,920 --> 01:17:04,879 Speaker 4: not sure that there's a worse matchup for The Houston 1760 01:17:04,920 --> 01:17:08,200 Speaker 4: texans as they look to retool up front than what 1761 01:17:08,240 --> 01:17:10,880 Speaker 4: The rams, have which Ered verse And Byron young on 1762 01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:14,320 Speaker 4: the opposite edge And Kobe, turner who was right, there you, 1763 01:17:14,360 --> 01:17:16,519 Speaker 4: know with your guy for Defensive rookie of The year 1764 01:17:16,520 --> 01:17:20,240 Speaker 4: a couple of seasons. Ago Brayden fisk led all rookies 1765 01:17:20,920 --> 01:17:24,799 Speaker 4: in sacks last, year which is incredible considering his teammate 1766 01:17:24,840 --> 01:17:26,439 Speaker 4: one Defensive rookie Of. YEAR i, mean how about the 1767 01:17:26,439 --> 01:17:28,920 Speaker 4: fact That verse one Defensive rookie of the year in 1768 01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:31,320 Speaker 4: the league with four and a half. Sacks how good 1769 01:17:31,320 --> 01:17:33,000 Speaker 4: do you have to be to finish with less than 1770 01:17:33,040 --> 01:17:36,280 Speaker 4: five sacks and win that? Honor. Yep so, yeah that's 1771 01:17:36,320 --> 01:17:40,040 Speaker 4: all arriving at The Houston texans doorstep this. Week BUT 1772 01:17:40,080 --> 01:17:42,680 Speaker 4: i don't say, that you, know in any form of 1773 01:17:42,720 --> 01:17:44,679 Speaker 4: bravado BECAUSE i know it's coming the other direction. 1774 01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:48,120 Speaker 1: Too, yeah, absolutely it's going to be interesting both sides 1775 01:17:48,280 --> 01:17:51,240 Speaker 1: of the. Football tell me a little bit about McVeigh 1776 01:17:51,280 --> 01:17:53,960 Speaker 1: and how he's evolved as a head coach a few years, 1777 01:17:53,960 --> 01:17:56,559 Speaker 1: Ago again this is outside looking in, stuff but there 1778 01:17:56,600 --> 01:17:59,640 Speaker 1: was talk ABOUT tv career and things like. That but 1779 01:17:59,720 --> 01:18:02,320 Speaker 1: here so it's still, coaching still doing a great. Job 1780 01:18:02,600 --> 01:18:06,240 Speaker 1: where do you think he's at professionally personally in this 1781 01:18:06,520 --> 01:18:09,639 Speaker 1: profession of being a head coach in THE. Nfl, well he's. 1782 01:18:09,520 --> 01:18:12,200 Speaker 4: Earned the privilege that very few in his profession get, 1783 01:18:12,280 --> 01:18:14,680 Speaker 4: right which is to continue to reinvent himself and to 1784 01:18:14,720 --> 01:18:17,439 Speaker 4: have multiple. Chapters let's face, it a lot of coaches 1785 01:18:17,800 --> 01:18:20,320 Speaker 4: barely get past year one and are fortunate to survive two, 1786 01:18:20,400 --> 01:18:22,760 Speaker 4: years and if they don't succeed right, away they may 1787 01:18:23,040 --> 01:18:26,960 Speaker 4: forget another. Chance so because of the rocket ship ascension 1788 01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:29,000 Speaker 4: and taking this team from four wins to a couple 1789 01:18:29,040 --> 01:18:33,040 Speaker 4: Of Super, bowls migveagh has earned that. Opportunity and it's 1790 01:18:33,040 --> 01:18:37,519 Speaker 4: been really enjoyable to grow alongside him because we're age 1791 01:18:37,560 --> 01:18:40,360 Speaker 4: peers and to see him go from his thirties until 1792 01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:42,960 Speaker 4: hopefully soon into his forties and there was definitely a 1793 01:18:43,000 --> 01:18:46,639 Speaker 4: window of time WHERE i thought his first coaching stint 1794 01:18:46,760 --> 01:18:50,240 Speaker 4: might have been tied To Aaron donald And Cooper cup 1795 01:18:50,280 --> 01:18:54,000 Speaker 4: And Matthew. Stafford that made sense given the roster. Construction 1796 01:18:54,520 --> 01:18:56,760 Speaker 4: but lo and, behold they Lost Aaron donald and got 1797 01:18:56,800 --> 01:19:00,799 Speaker 4: better as a pass rush last. Season they Lose Cooper, 1798 01:19:00,840 --> 01:19:03,760 Speaker 4: CUP i think intentionally by, design and are going to 1799 01:19:03,760 --> 01:19:05,800 Speaker 4: be better as a passing attack this. SEASON i can 1800 01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:08,960 Speaker 4: almost guarantee it If stafford's, healthy and SO i THINK 1801 01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:11,880 Speaker 4: i can confidently say that there is a future with 1802 01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:15,320 Speaker 4: The rams For sean McVay that will surpass not Just 1803 01:19:15,439 --> 01:19:17,559 Speaker 4: aaron And, cooper But matthew as. WELL i think he 1804 01:19:17,640 --> 01:19:20,719 Speaker 4: will see the next quarterback of The Los Angeles, rams 1805 01:19:20,720 --> 01:19:22,799 Speaker 4: and then he's going to be an amazing broadcaster. Someday 1806 01:19:23,439 --> 01:19:25,960 Speaker 4: but that's no surprise because WHAT i like to tell people, is, 1807 01:19:26,040 --> 01:19:28,679 Speaker 4: yes he's a football, savants and he's got the great 1808 01:19:28,840 --> 01:19:32,439 Speaker 4: x's and, o's he's super high, functioning but he's a 1809 01:19:32,439 --> 01:19:35,679 Speaker 4: great people person and he's an elite, communicator and he's 1810 01:19:35,720 --> 01:19:38,360 Speaker 4: a true. Leader AND i don't think there's a company 1811 01:19:38,800 --> 01:19:41,679 Speaker 4: in The fortune five hundred that he couldn't step right 1812 01:19:41,720 --> 01:19:44,960 Speaker 4: into and be a PRODUCTIVE ceo within within a very 1813 01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:46,479 Speaker 4: short amount of. Time he's that. 1814 01:19:46,400 --> 01:19:50,920 Speaker 1: Talented good stuff. There, wow that's. Tremendous AND i remember 1815 01:19:50,920 --> 01:19:53,680 Speaker 1: a few years. Ago, hey The rams they you, know 1816 01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:55,960 Speaker 1: the f them picks and all of, that and they're 1817 01:19:55,960 --> 01:19:57,920 Speaker 1: going to get in salary cap. Jail they're never going 1818 01:19:57,960 --> 01:20:00,160 Speaker 1: to be able to dig themselves out of. It there 1819 01:20:00,200 --> 01:20:02,840 Speaker 1: you are at the doorstep against The Philadelphia eagles in 1820 01:20:02,880 --> 01:20:06,200 Speaker 1: the playoffs with a chance to knock them, out but 1821 01:20:06,400 --> 01:20:08,920 Speaker 1: couldn't do. That still ten and seven when a playoff. 1822 01:20:08,960 --> 01:20:12,320 Speaker 1: Game very nice, campaign couple of double digit win seasons 1823 01:20:12,360 --> 01:20:14,360 Speaker 1: in a. Row they've weathered that. Storm and you pointed 1824 01:20:14,360 --> 01:20:16,880 Speaker 1: out the pass rush even better Without Aaron donald. 1825 01:20:16,920 --> 01:20:19,880 Speaker 4: Statistically, Yeah, Mark i'll let you in on a little 1826 01:20:19,880 --> 01:20:22,759 Speaker 4: Inside rams here BECAUSE i trust much of my audience 1827 01:20:22,800 --> 01:20:24,760 Speaker 4: will not catch this. Show promise you won't draw their 1828 01:20:24,760 --> 01:20:26,400 Speaker 4: attention to. It but we kind of do like a 1829 01:20:26,439 --> 01:20:29,400 Speaker 4: weekly hype, video right that's on the front end of the, 1830 01:20:29,400 --> 01:20:31,160 Speaker 4: season more of a catch. Off it's less about the 1831 01:20:31,200 --> 01:20:35,160 Speaker 4: matchup more about you, know what is the zeitgeist for this? Season? 1832 01:20:35,240 --> 01:20:37,639 Speaker 4: Right like what is the ethos for this? Year and 1833 01:20:37,920 --> 01:20:41,599 Speaker 4: for me thinking a lot about, it it's that all 1834 01:20:41,640 --> 01:20:45,200 Speaker 4: these years gone, by the tractors have, Said, wow The 1835 01:20:45,280 --> 01:20:48,240 Speaker 4: rams win all, in they mortgage their future to chase a, 1836 01:20:48,360 --> 01:20:50,599 Speaker 4: championship and good on, them they got. It but there's 1837 01:20:50,640 --> 01:20:53,160 Speaker 4: gonna be some lean years. Ahead and there. Was there 1838 01:20:53,200 --> 01:20:56,519 Speaker 4: was One Super bowl hangover, year an injury plagued twenty two, 1839 01:20:56,560 --> 01:20:59,400 Speaker 4: season but then double digit wins in a playoff spot 1840 01:20:59,400 --> 01:21:01,840 Speaker 4: in twenty, three double digit wins in a division title 1841 01:21:01,840 --> 01:21:06,200 Speaker 4: and a playoff win last. Year and so my framing 1842 01:21:06,320 --> 01:21:09,160 Speaker 4: of that is because they hit on so Many day 1843 01:21:09,200 --> 01:21:12,839 Speaker 4: two And day three. Picks rather than mortgaging their, future 1844 01:21:12,960 --> 01:21:15,519 Speaker 4: what they've actually done is build one of the nicest 1845 01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:19,080 Speaker 4: houses on the. Block AND i think that they're poised 1846 01:21:19,080 --> 01:21:22,080 Speaker 4: for the. Present they're a real contender right. Now But 1847 01:21:22,200 --> 01:21:24,720 Speaker 4: i'm not sure that twenty six and twenty seven might 1848 01:21:24,720 --> 01:21:27,200 Speaker 4: not be even brighter for The Los Angeles. Rams and 1849 01:21:27,560 --> 01:21:30,200 Speaker 4: who would have said that given the things they were 1850 01:21:30,280 --> 01:21:33,200 Speaker 4: doing to get That Lombardi trophy just a few short years. 1851 01:21:33,240 --> 01:21:35,720 Speaker 1: Ago you, know it's interesting with the golf TRADE. Jb, 1852 01:21:35,840 --> 01:21:38,360 Speaker 1: long voice of The rams joining, us because all too 1853 01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:40,639 Speaker 1: often in a trade we wanted to declare a. Loser 1854 01:21:41,200 --> 01:21:44,479 Speaker 1: this team got fleece this team got. Taken but that's 1855 01:21:44,520 --> 01:21:46,640 Speaker 1: one that worked out really well for both teams and 1856 01:21:46,800 --> 01:21:48,920 Speaker 1: is still very much in progress as far as the 1857 01:21:48,960 --> 01:21:50,960 Speaker 1: results of that. Trade your thoughts. 1858 01:21:51,640 --> 01:21:54,920 Speaker 4: Agree, completely and that should happen more often than, not, 1859 01:21:55,280 --> 01:21:58,559 Speaker 4: right because there's a lot of really smart operators making these, 1860 01:21:58,600 --> 01:22:02,760 Speaker 4: decisions and so for a trade to be, transacted it 1861 01:22:02,920 --> 01:22:05,679 Speaker 4: should be pretty level. UNBALANCED i think what we saw 1862 01:22:05,760 --> 01:22:08,760 Speaker 4: there is just a difference in time. Horizon, now the 1863 01:22:08,760 --> 01:22:11,040 Speaker 4: most recent one That i'm sure has made waves in 1864 01:22:11,080 --> 01:22:13,200 Speaker 4: your neck of the woods is This Micah parsons deal 1865 01:22:13,400 --> 01:22:16,320 Speaker 4: To Green, bay and, that to me is a different 1866 01:22:16,360 --> 01:22:20,200 Speaker 4: sort of. Calculus but who knows if those picks coming 1867 01:22:20,240 --> 01:22:24,320 Speaker 4: back might lead to a next iteration Of Jerry Young Dallas. 1868 01:22:24,320 --> 01:22:28,120 Speaker 4: Cowboys i'm skeptical because the best case scenario for me 1869 01:22:28,200 --> 01:22:31,720 Speaker 4: is probably getting A micah type piece with one of those, 1870 01:22:31,760 --> 01:22:34,960 Speaker 4: picks And i'm not sure that that was necessarily the 1871 01:22:35,040 --> 01:22:39,240 Speaker 4: case with The Rams lions trade because you got an 1872 01:22:39,240 --> 01:22:42,720 Speaker 4: elite quarterback In Matthew stafford who got you over the, 1873 01:22:42,760 --> 01:22:46,160 Speaker 4: mountain and credit To Brad holmes and The lions who 1874 01:22:46,200 --> 01:22:49,120 Speaker 4: played a role In Jared goss's early. Years seeing a 1875 01:22:49,160 --> 01:22:53,559 Speaker 4: future as a top, notch if not elite starter in this. League, 1876 01:22:54,080 --> 01:22:57,120 Speaker 4: now can he do it beyond the infrastructure of his 1877 01:22:57,240 --> 01:22:59,720 Speaker 4: coordinators and all those other. Things, PROBABLY i think he's 1878 01:22:59,760 --> 01:23:04,799 Speaker 4: built to. Succeed but, YEAH i think that probably sets 1879 01:23:04,840 --> 01:23:07,360 Speaker 4: a mold almost WHERE i think we'll see more of 1880 01:23:07,400 --> 01:23:12,240 Speaker 4: that high leverage trade, deals more along the lines of 1881 01:23:12,240 --> 01:23:14,320 Speaker 4: what you see in baseball or THE, nba where for 1882 01:23:14,360 --> 01:23:17,960 Speaker 4: so long THE nfl was reluctant to trade players of that, 1883 01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:20,720 Speaker 4: stature especially. Quarterbacks there's a reason that one ones had 1884 01:23:20,760 --> 01:23:23,519 Speaker 4: never been swapped. Before you know That gonf And stafford 1885 01:23:23,520 --> 01:23:25,160 Speaker 4: were one of the. KIND i don't know that we'll 1886 01:23:25,200 --> 01:23:28,000 Speaker 4: receive that, again BUT i think teams are less hesitant 1887 01:23:28,080 --> 01:23:30,599 Speaker 4: to make those types of deals so long as they 1888 01:23:30,640 --> 01:23:33,599 Speaker 4: have the job security to ultimately win with the picks 1889 01:23:33,600 --> 01:23:34,600 Speaker 4: that they're. ACQUIRING. 1890 01:23:35,520 --> 01:23:40,840 Speaker 1: Jb Long voice of The rams joining Us OKAY la, Landscape, Dodgers. 1891 01:23:41,160 --> 01:23:45,439 Speaker 1: Lakers obviously The chargers are co tenants of the, building 1892 01:23:45,520 --> 01:23:48,759 Speaker 1: or really your tenant, Maybe but where do The rams 1893 01:23:48,800 --> 01:23:51,400 Speaker 1: and how do The rams fit in to the landscape right? 1894 01:23:51,439 --> 01:23:54,600 Speaker 1: Now with the, success it's coming back To Los. Angeles 1895 01:23:54,640 --> 01:23:57,040 Speaker 1: you mentioned the hiccup year of five to twelve and 1896 01:23:57,120 --> 01:24:00,760 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Two but, overall how's it going IN LA. 1897 01:24:00,960 --> 01:24:02,519 Speaker 1: Jb you, KNOW i have. 1898 01:24:02,439 --> 01:24:05,320 Speaker 4: To Admit i'm probably more dialed into THE ayso and 1899 01:24:05,360 --> 01:24:07,960 Speaker 4: you flag football scene THAN i am necessarily all the 1900 01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:10,760 Speaker 4: professional and college goings on here In Los. Angeles it 1901 01:24:10,840 --> 01:24:14,880 Speaker 4: is a very busy scene, too of. Everything everything played in. 1902 01:24:14,960 --> 01:24:18,680 Speaker 4: Pairs but you, know WHEN i drop my kids off at, 1903 01:24:18,680 --> 01:24:21,639 Speaker 4: SCHOOL i do see MORE rams hats AND t shirts 1904 01:24:21,680 --> 01:24:26,960 Speaker 4: and license plate. HOLDERS i do think a generational project 1905 01:24:27,240 --> 01:24:30,559 Speaker 4: is well ahead of, schedule and the personalities that The 1906 01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:33,200 Speaker 4: rams have won with and the wins that they've racked 1907 01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:37,320 Speaker 4: up in my now decade on the job has accelerated 1908 01:24:37,320 --> 01:24:39,639 Speaker 4: that growth. Curve BUT i do think it will take 1909 01:24:39,720 --> 01:24:43,439 Speaker 4: until my sons are season ticket holders for them to 1910 01:24:43,479 --> 01:24:46,400 Speaker 4: be as entrenched as some of the OTHER nfl fan, 1911 01:24:46,479 --> 01:24:49,360 Speaker 4: bases if they ever get to that. POINT la as you, 1912 01:24:49,439 --> 01:24:53,280 Speaker 4: know is a unique, place and WHAT i love about 1913 01:24:53,320 --> 01:24:56,200 Speaker 4: it is you can meet people from every walk of, 1914 01:24:56,240 --> 01:24:59,320 Speaker 4: life and you can dine on cuisine from all over the, 1915 01:24:59,360 --> 01:25:02,800 Speaker 4: planet and people from all around The United states and 1916 01:25:02,880 --> 01:25:05,519 Speaker 4: the world come to live and raise their families, here 1917 01:25:05,640 --> 01:25:07,639 Speaker 4: and so WHAT i love about that as a melting. 1918 01:25:07,680 --> 01:25:10,760 Speaker 4: POT i can't bend the moon as a broadcaster for 1919 01:25:10,800 --> 01:25:13,120 Speaker 4: the local football team because all those people are going 1920 01:25:13,200 --> 01:25:16,160 Speaker 4: to bring all their various fandoms To Sofi. Stadium and 1921 01:25:16,200 --> 01:25:19,160 Speaker 4: When pittsburgh comes to town once every eight, years guess 1922 01:25:19,160 --> 01:25:22,439 Speaker 4: What steeler fans are going to spend their year long 1923 01:25:22,760 --> 01:25:25,640 Speaker 4: savings and resources to make sure they're. There AND i 1924 01:25:25,720 --> 01:25:30,360 Speaker 4: don't belittle that or regret that one. Bit every game 1925 01:25:30,439 --> 01:25:32,120 Speaker 4: is a bowl type game At Sofi. 1926 01:25:32,200 --> 01:25:34,439 Speaker 1: Stadium, YEAH i was going to ask you about, that 1927 01:25:34,479 --> 01:25:35,960 Speaker 1: because sometimes that happens. 1928 01:25:35,960 --> 01:25:36,240 Speaker 3: Here of. 1929 01:25:36,240 --> 01:25:39,240 Speaker 1: Course, Well steelers they travel, everywhere they invade every. Building 1930 01:25:39,479 --> 01:25:42,240 Speaker 1: they're kind of an anomaly that. Way but there are 1931 01:25:42,280 --> 01:25:45,200 Speaker 1: a lot of teams with great traveling fan. Bases, buffalo et. 1932 01:25:45,280 --> 01:25:48,000 Speaker 1: Cetera texans have a good traveling fan base pretty, good 1933 01:25:48,400 --> 01:25:50,799 Speaker 1: so the Traveling texans will be. There but The rams 1934 01:25:50,800 --> 01:25:53,000 Speaker 1: are used to this kind of thing in a good. Way. 1935 01:25:53,080 --> 01:25:55,200 Speaker 1: Right you know that this is going to happen in your, 1936 01:25:55,240 --> 01:25:57,760 Speaker 1: building and obviously they've dealt with it pretty well more 1937 01:25:57,800 --> 01:25:58,200 Speaker 1: often than. 1938 01:25:58,240 --> 01:26:02,439 Speaker 4: Not you know WHERE i think it plays in is 1939 01:26:03,040 --> 01:26:06,439 Speaker 4: for the full front half of the. Schedule last, year 1940 01:26:06,800 --> 01:26:10,280 Speaker 4: The rams were on a silent. Count homer Away Matthew 1941 01:26:10,320 --> 01:26:13,000 Speaker 4: stafford was on a silent, count AND i do feel 1942 01:26:13,080 --> 01:26:15,920 Speaker 4: bad for like the tackles and the offensive linemen who 1943 01:26:15,960 --> 01:26:18,759 Speaker 4: have to contend with that in their own stadium depending 1944 01:26:18,760 --> 01:26:22,240 Speaker 4: on how the schedule, breaks and especially in games where 1945 01:26:22,280 --> 01:26:24,439 Speaker 4: that really is the tipping. Point AND i would say 1946 01:26:24,439 --> 01:26:27,280 Speaker 4: this is definitely one of them coming our Way. Sunday you, 1947 01:26:27,320 --> 01:26:30,000 Speaker 4: know a false start here or a quick get off, 1948 01:26:30,040 --> 01:26:34,400 Speaker 4: there or a tackle beaten outside or inside could affect 1949 01:26:34,439 --> 01:26:37,639 Speaker 4: not only the outcome Of week, one but the course 1950 01:26:37,680 --> 01:26:42,240 Speaker 4: of your entire. Season should your quarterback get, decked THAT 1951 01:26:42,400 --> 01:26:45,840 Speaker 4: i do think is a real competitive dynamic that home 1952 01:26:45,880 --> 01:26:48,519 Speaker 4: and away broadcasters alike need to be aware, of because 1953 01:26:48,560 --> 01:26:48,960 Speaker 4: that is. 1954 01:26:49,040 --> 01:26:49,519 Speaker 8: Real you. 1955 01:26:49,560 --> 01:26:53,360 Speaker 4: Know weighing terrible towels is one, thing having lot draped 1956 01:26:53,360 --> 01:26:55,160 Speaker 4: all over your quarterback is, another if that makes. 1957 01:26:55,200 --> 01:26:57,439 Speaker 1: Sense so you have kids and you said flag?

Hits because he hasn't taken any all, Preseason 2024 01:30:21,200 --> 01:30:23,200 Speaker 1: he's missed a huge chunk of it as. 2025 01:30:23,200 --> 01:30:23,439 Speaker 5: Well. 2026 01:30:23,560 --> 01:30:26,599 Speaker 2: Yeah, Absolutely AND i think to the third and final 2027 01:30:26,680 --> 01:30:31,240 Speaker 2: thing is can The texans run the ball four point 2028 01:30:31,600 --> 01:30:34,439 Speaker 2: zero yards per? Carry can they be consistent running the? 2029 01:30:34,439 --> 01:30:36,760 Speaker 2: Ball that's something that they showed in preseason it was 2030 01:30:36,800 --> 01:30:39,080 Speaker 2: four yards of. Pop five yards of. Pop it wasn't 2031 01:30:39,160 --> 01:30:42,960 Speaker 2: like eighty and then zero zero minus two minus. Three 2032 01:30:43,200 --> 01:30:46,000 Speaker 2: they stayed ahead of the sticks throughout the preseason by 2033 01:30:46,080 --> 01:30:48,760 Speaker 2: running the ball effectively on first. Down so can they 2034 01:30:48,760 --> 01:30:51,439 Speaker 2: be three four five yards of pop when they run 2035 01:30:51,479 --> 01:30:54,519 Speaker 2: the ball and mine kind of go together in a 2036 01:30:54,600 --> 01:30:57,519 Speaker 2: sense that if you run the ball, well now you 2037 01:30:57,600 --> 01:31:00,200 Speaker 2: Put Jared verse in that really good defensive. Line come 2038 01:31:00,240 --> 01:31:02,559 Speaker 2: on your heels a little. Bit oh this is gonna 2039 01:31:02,560 --> 01:31:04,400 Speaker 2: be a run. Play oh, no it's passes play. Action 2040 01:31:04,760 --> 01:31:06,519 Speaker 2: but you buy yourself a half second to get the 2041 01:31:06,560 --> 01:31:09,080 Speaker 2: ball off because you run the ball that. Well consistency 2042 01:31:09,080 --> 01:31:11,080 Speaker 2: in the run game three to five yards of. 2043 01:31:11,120 --> 01:31:13,200 Speaker 3: Pop if you live in that, area you'll be all. 2044 01:31:13,280 --> 01:31:17,599 Speaker 1: Right i've got an honorable mention thing to look out for, 2045 01:31:17,680 --> 01:31:21,200 Speaker 1: here and that would be The texans SECONDARY.
