1
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: Okare Thursday morning. It is off to a great start. Everyone.

2
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Between the Horns Week three edition. I'm

3
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: Jblong alongside team reporter Serena Morales, Maurice Jones, Drew An

4
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: NFL Network Steve Wish glad you are with us, as

5
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 1: we have a lot to get you to preview this contest.

6
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: It's an undefeated showdown in upstate New York. The Buffalo

7
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: Bills and your Los Angeles Grams. Good morning, Serena, Good morning, Jabe,

8
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: Good morning guys. All right, let's kick things off the way.

9
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,239
Speaker 1: We always do a quick look back at last week's game,

10
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 1: and it was a pretty dominant win for the Rams

11
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: thirty seven and nineteen over the Eagles. Biggest takeaway for

12
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: each of you over that week to win at Philadelphia, Steve,

13
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,279
Speaker 1: I'll start with you. Yeah. To me, it's the diversity

14
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: of the offense. This looks like the Rams as it

15
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: did a couple of years ago, with the run games

16
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: spreading the wealth around. You cannot pick your poison, you know,

17
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: they just spread the ball all over the place. Higbeet

18
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: has his big breakout game. We saw Evangi out and

19
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: do some things. This looks like the offense that is

20
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: deep in Sean mcvay's brain. For me, guys is going

21
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: to be you know, the others making plays. Darryl Williams

22
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: stepping up, Hughes stopping a drive with a pick, I

23
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: mean offensively. Darryl Henderson is another another guy that has

24
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: shown up to be the guy now a huge day

25
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: Russian with Malcolm Brown and obviously Cam Aker's being a

26
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: little banged up. So guys that we necessarily don't expect

27
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: to show up, show up huge and impact the game.

28
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: That that that is how you continue to build a

29
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: championship team. We saw that, like Steve said, a couple

30
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: of years ago, now you're seeing it more and more.

31
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: It was one of those performances where there aren't very

32
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: many bad takeaways. I'll focus on player development and to

33
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: see players jump from week one to week two, like

34
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: Mike Kayer, Kenny Young, a couple offball linebackers getting their

35
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: NFL chance, Jordan Fuller, Sebastian Joseph Day. I mean, those

36
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: are all really encouraging things from a personnel and a

37
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: coaching standpoint. I do have one word of caution. The

38
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: Rams are two and no, I would say, despite their

39
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: special teams. That is a stark departure from the norm

40
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: that we've become accustomed to with these Los Angeles rams.

41
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: They better be careful, special teams better be sharp as

42
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: they go to Buffalo. Yeah, and Jimmy, I'll add off

43
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: of what MJD just said. This is sort of like

44
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: a big, big time who stepped up, right. It's not

45
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: just the superstars. It's not just the Jalen Ramsey's and

46
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: the Aaron Donalds that we're hearing their name in week two.

47
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: It's the Micah Kaisers who led the team and tackles

48
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: with sixteen. It's the Troy Hill and the Darius Williams

49
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: who got their interceptions. It's the Van Jefferson, the rookie

50
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: who again looked really good in addition to Cooper Cup

51
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: and Robert Woods. So I think it's really more about

52
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: the balance and not just superstar names that we need

53
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: to see. It's the other guys picking up the slack

54
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: and turn. Let's zoom in on that running game, because

55
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: I think we heard Sean McVay bemoan for most of

56
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,119
Speaker 1: last year, the lack of identity right that his offense

57
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: just couldn't grapple with until maybe December, that last month

58
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 1: of the season, and he talked a lot about this

59
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: offseason re establishing that efficiency in the running game, and

60
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: through two weeks we've seen a ton of that. Maurice

61
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: forty carries against the Cowboys, thirty nine against the Eagles,

62
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 1: putting them in great down and distant situations. Yeah, it's

63
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: all about when you talk about efficiency, you talk about

64
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: four yards on first down, half the chains on second down,

65
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: and then converting on third down. But it seems like

66
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: the Rams are in second in two, second, in three

67
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: second and four because of their running game. And I

68
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: have to say this, Joseph, No Boom goes down, David

69
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: Edward steps in and the running game continue to be successful.

70
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: They actually had longer runs during that span. So it

71
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: was we have to go back to what happened last

72
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: year where a lot of guys playing, you know, everyone

73
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: was a little upset. But the Rams are still competitive

74
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,839
Speaker 1: at nine and seven. But that experience of the young

75
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: offensive line, guys being put in different situations, have to

76
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: play and pivotal games, it really helped this week. And

77
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: I truly believe that while No Boom is getting healthy

78
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: and better, David Edwards is going to continue to go.

79
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: And again Andrew Whitworth leading this offensive line on some

80
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: of those runs away from when they're running to the right,

81
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: he's caving down that side and pushing that defensive end

82
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: and defensive tackle five and six yards down the field.

83
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: So when Malcolm Brown decides to cut back on some

84
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: of his runs, he's getting four five yards where he's

85
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: being contacted by his safety. So you know, it's just

86
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: been a recommitment to this running game that has helped everything.

87
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: I think it helps that defense out, it helps the

88
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: passing game out for sure, and it goes back to

89
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: that offensive line. That offensive line has done a phenomenal job.

90
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: Coach Cromer has done a phenomenal job. Again, those guys

91
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: back going again, and you're starting to see the dividends

92
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: of it now, ye getting Rob and I have a

93
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: sign back in that right tackle. I mean, he's a

94
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: very physical player, and whatever Kromer's doing, they're playing much

95
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: more on a thread than they did last year. I

96
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: think that's because the in and out, you know of

97
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: the injuries and players like that. But I'm also going

98
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: to go to the again. You' heard me talk about

99
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: the diversity of the offense. A minute ago. What about

100
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: the diversity of the running game wide receiver carried the

101
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: ball six times last week. It's not just the running

102
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: backs and MJD. I'm sure you appreciate this. They're not

103
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: necessarily inside run team with the running backs or a

104
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: zone stretch runs games. Sean McVeigh is just bang, bang bang.

105
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,679
Speaker 1: It gives you the pre snap eye candy. You don't

106
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: know where the ball is going, and they're tripping up

107
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: defensive players who have certain keys to read every play.

108
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: He is understanding if a linebackers reading a guard or

109
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: if he's reading a tackles first step, how to play

110
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: off of that and how to get that player out

111
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: of position. It is an absolute technical, you know, mind game.

112
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: What Sean McVeigh is doing right now in the execution

113
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: by the players has been fantastic. And Malcolm Brown, we

114
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: don't give him enough credit. He is really doing it

115
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 1: and everything that they're trying to do, and again you

116
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: get this run game going. This offense's gonna be one

117
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: of the best in the NFL. Steve have to say

118
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: this as a former running back. All that, like everything

119
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: you said was awesome, But the receiver's getting the ball,

120
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: especially inside the five, Like, come on low verse to

121
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: Robert Woods, the slap in the running backs face. We

122
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: need we want those touchdowns as much as possible. You

123
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: are such a fantasy football player, man, I mean I

124
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: have Robert Woods too, but you know, just a running back.

125
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: We're gonna run the ball. Put it on my back,

126
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: don't don't put it on the receivers. They get to

127
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: catch the ball to a lot in the back during

128
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: the game. You guys remember the movie She's All That.

129
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: Like in the nineties, this offense way more robust. Right

130
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen and that Super Bowl run, we saw

131
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: this eleven personnel like Laney Bob's like, she was an

132
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: amazing woman already, right, she was smart, she was an artist,

133
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: she was well spoken. This is an enhanced offense, right.

134
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: We gotta give credit to Sean McVay evolving as a

135
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: head coach and learning the job. War I think to

136
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: both of your points with the running game, this is

137
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: an enhanced identity that we're seeing here. Laney already had

138
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: it going on. Now she's going to the prom and

139
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: she's gonna get She's going good. Sean McVay, this is

140
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: the first time I ever ever make a comparison again

141
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: to a nineties movie. It was about to say that

142
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: that was a deep reach, right there, Serena's all that's

143
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: all that, am JD. Have you ever had separated rib cartilage?

144
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: What's that going to do to cam Akers chances this weekend?

145
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: And like, look, it was Darrell Henderson last week, it

146
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: was Malcolm in week one. Who's gonna be that guy

147
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: in week three? Maybe I'm glad you said that because

148
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: I actually did have that that injured the same way

149
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: cam Akers pad and I kind of figured that's what

150
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: it was the way he went down because there was

151
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: so much pressure on his on the upper half of

152
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: his body. Um, it depends on your pain tolerance. Can

153
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: you deal with There's nothing really you can't. It's an

154
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: uncomfortable feeling. It doesn't hurt, it feels they call it

155
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: floating ribs. Your your ribs just move around, so they

156
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: could put like pads on it. Um. You can take

157
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: pain killers and stuff, but that that really doesn't It

158
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: still makes it uncomfortable. UM, hopefully, Um, he has a

159
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: high pain howers didn't go out there and play. I

160
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: didn't miss a game with it. Um. And it takes

161
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: about three to four weeks that kind of fully heal.

162
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: But you know again, I think with Darryl Henderson, run

163
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: the way he's running, obviously, Malcolm Brown run the way

164
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: he's doing it. Doing it, you're you've been afforded time.

165
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: And then you have two other running backs who can

166
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: come in as well and impact this game. So the

167
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: Rams are fine. They have five guys that can go.

168
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: And the reason they they're they're fine is this, when

169
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: you have Todd Gurley, you're gonna have eight guys in

170
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: the box. We don't see as much eight men in

171
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: the box now because of the way this passing game

172
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: is going. So when you have an unloaded box, guys

173
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: can go increase the run a little bit. And so

174
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: I think again, it kind of helps this running game

175
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: out that there is no Todd Gurley. And then this

176
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 1: is a group of guys that can each kind of

177
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: get five and six yards to carry because the way

178
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: the offensiveline blocking, the way the defense is playing. You

179
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: said run game. The Bills are off to a two

180
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: and old start behind an impressive QB of Josh Allen.

181
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: This guy does it in the air, and he does

182
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: it with his feet. How do you slow a guy

183
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: like this down? Through two games, leads the NFL in

184
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: passing seven hundred twenty nine yards seventy five rushing yards.

185
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: I mean, Josh Allen, A lot of people have made

186
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 1: the comparison to Cam Newton. He's a linebacker as a QB, right, Steve, Yeah,

187
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: he's that big. I mean, Josh Allen. If you stood

188
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: up next to him, he's he's that big. So the

189
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: way you have to defend him. First off, the DBS

190
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: we hear this expression they have to plaster because he

191
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: will extend plays right, So you've got to stick on

192
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: your man or in your zone. He will find the

193
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: open readers. Seeing that more and more. But more importantly,

194
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: they've got to hit him early. It's any there's not

195
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 1: a quarterback around, but if he's got people in his

196
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,839
Speaker 1: face early in a game, is not going to start

197
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 1: to wander and get off of his game a little bit. So,

198
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 1: I mean that's difficult because their offensive line is playing

199
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: really well and this is a team that's running the

200
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: ball fairly well as well, So this is gonna be

201
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: a tough thing. But they've got to give him a

202
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: lot of different looks and frankly, the Rams need to

203
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: get a lead and make him. Okay, we've got to

204
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: throw The Rams have got to play from a head

205
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: in this game, because we've seen the Bills. They are

206
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: a very good team. And if they've got to go

207
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: toe to toe and they can run with Singletary and

208
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: Zack Moss, one of my favorite young players in the NFL,

209
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: this is a very very dangerous offense. Yeah. I'll say this.

210
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: The one thing about the Buffalo Bills has been their

211
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: strength and schedule to this point. You play the Jets,

212
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: ah right, you play the Dolphins, but they've done what

213
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: they're supposed to do. They've beaten those teams handley. This

214
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: is gonna be the first test I think that the

215
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: Bills actually have where you're going against a really good

216
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 1: NFL football team, where I think the Rams in Week

217
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: one Dallas. You know you saw Dallas and you see

218
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: that Dallas has the potential. So what, Steve, I'll say this,

219
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: Dalen Ramsey, is this is what you get paid for.

220
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 1: Ye all right, this is what we we've given you

221
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: the twenty million dollars for. You have to eliminate Stefan Diggs,

222
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: period point blank. We have to force Josh Allen like

223
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: we did, like they did against the Eagles to go

224
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: to this set, I get in third read make sure

225
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: that he gets off his first guy. Uh. So we

226
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: saw Jenny Ramsey, that was zach ERTs in some third

227
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: down situations last week. So you gotta make sure you

228
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: get him off of Stefan digs and forced John Brown

229
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: and Cole Beasley to beat you. Uh. Secondly is Aaron

230
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: Donald has to show up and dominate this game. That

231
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: that this is again, this is when your best players.

232
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: We talked about the others early on. Now I need

233
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: my my, my brand name guys, my you know, my targets,

234
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: my walbars, my brand name guys are stand up and

235
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: make plays. Dalen Ramsey, Aaron Donald defensively, Now when you

236
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 1: get to the offensive, the Rams, Steve, You're exactly right.

237
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: You want to continue to run the ball, play action

238
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,079
Speaker 1: passed this. This defense is banged up, especially in their

239
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: linebacker corps, which he actually helps the Rams because guys

240
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: will misfit a little bit. But you want to play

241
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 1: from the league because Josh Allen, as good as he is,

242
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: if you have him throw the ball more than you

243
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: know twenty five to thirty times, he gets a little

244
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: uh sporadic when his throws and so there's there's definitely

245
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 1: opportunity here to go and do it. I think playing

246
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: again in Buffalo in that ten o'clock hour is gonna

247
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: be tough back to back weeks, but if the Rams

248
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: can jump out and start fast, I think it'll played

249
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: to their advantage. Maurice is making this sound like the

250
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: Paul Feinbaum Show. He's like calling in saying, yeah, but

251
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: who have they played about the two and no Buffalo Bills.

252
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: This is the league, man, you don't return any wins.

253
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: Buffalo is good, Buffalo is good. Man, Well that's a

254
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: good football team. I'm just saying, you know, Jets, come on, wow, No,

255
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 1: you're right. I think both those teams are going to

256
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: be there at the end looking for the number one pick.

257
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: And speaking of Miami, like Byron Jones goes down on

258
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: that first drive, imagine losing Jalen Ramsey on the opening

259
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: drive of this game and what that would mean to

260
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: the matchup with Stefan like you're talking about and look,

261
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: no offense of John Franklin Myers, but right now he's

262
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: the best Jets pass rusher through two weeks and he's

263
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: a former Rams cast off. So if you're assuming that

264
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: Brandon Staley and company you're gonna bring better than the

265
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: Jets and the Dolphins have so far. That's more of

266
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: a test for Josh Allen. But I will say one

267
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: of two things has happened. Either he's completely flipped his

268
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: game or he's due for a regression because to this

269
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: point in his career, he was known for a lack

270
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: of accuracy downfield beyond twenty yards and he was known

271
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: for turnover worthy throws. Through two weeks, he's completely eliminated

272
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: those two dimensions from his game, been much more accurate,

273
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: and has taken the negative plays out. We'll see what

274
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: Josh Allen the Rams get in week three. JB. Do

275
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: you want to get to a fan mail question? Yeah? Sure,

276
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: La RAMSFC has the honor on this edition of Between

277
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: the Horns, and they ask what happened with Gerald Everett?

278
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: Is he and mcvayh's doghouse? Is the question for the

279
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: fourth year tight end? Is that for me? Any of us?

280
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: It is? Now? I'll take it. I don't again. I

281
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: think there's so many weapons out here right that the

282
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: Rams have offensively that it goes to the hot hand.

283
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: Gerald Everett has had his opportunities. He gets them going.

284
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 1: McVay spreads the ball around a ton, But whoever gets

285
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 1: hot is the guy they go to it. I think

286
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 1: last week you saw Tyler Higby got hot. I mean

287
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 1: he caught a late, a late third down pass, got

288
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,599
Speaker 1: a first down, came back on second down, got a

289
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 1: first down, and then the red zone was kind of

290
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: designed for him to score. And then he just took

291
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: off and you saw that. You know, he was the

292
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 1: guy that they were featuring the week before it was

293
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: it was other guys. So again, it's just not that

294
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: he's in the doghouse per se. It's just that he

295
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: hasn't gotten the hotness h. He hasn't heated up yet

296
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: in order to do it, because we've seen it before

297
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago where he got hot and

298
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: he was the guy ride they were riding for a while. Yeah,

299
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: look this situation too, Sean MCVAYH does not served your

300
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: dinner without giving you an appetizer. Right now, it's two

301
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: weeks in, he's got fourteen other services to go. He

302
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: is setting things up and so you're gonna see Gerald

303
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: everard Is Maurice just said have his fits and starts

304
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: like this might be a game you might see him

305
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: use more of is an h back type of dude,

306
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: because you know what Sean McDermott and that defense does

307
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: and Leslie Frazier does for Buffalo. That's kind of tough

308
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: to decipher a little bit, right, So I think this

309
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: is one where every every could show out. And I

310
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: right there with you, Maurice. It's just somebody's gonna eat

311
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: every week and everybody else has to basically rebound, assist

312
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: and play defense. One quick thought on Jerald because on

313
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: Tyler Higby's third touchdown, it was Everett who was holding

314
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: the edge right in front of Jerry Goff. I think

315
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: it was Graham the defensive end for Philadelphia, and that

316
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: extra second of protection in the pocket allowed Jared to

317
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: set his feet and fire back deep left to result

318
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: that touchdown. So it's not that he isn't contributing. He's

319
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: just not winning you any fantasy games so far. But

320
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: we'll see in our fantasy football predictions whether or not

321
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: this is his week. Oh the teaser JV all right,

322
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: it's an all time for a rapid fire segment. We're

323
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: going to roll through a bunch of different topics and

324
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: matchups heading into Week three. The Rams are heading back

325
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: East for the second straight week. Stephan Diggs versus Jalen Ramsey,

326
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: Steve Wise, you take away. I think this is where

327
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: we're going to see Jalen trail Diggs a lot. Now,

328
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: they're not the whole game, but I think we're gonna

329
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: see him in situations a lot of ten on ten

330
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: because I think this is one where Jalen Ramsey is

331
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: not going to be targeted, even though Diggs has been

332
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: a favorite target of Josh Allen. Yeah, I think this

333
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: is gonna be probably the premier matchup for Jalen Ramsey

334
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: throughout this season. Stefan Days is a tremendous route runner,

335
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: and it's funny when you see what the Minnesota Vikings

336
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: are doing without him now, it's like, oh my goodness,

337
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: he is really that guy. So this is again, like

338
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: I said, this league is about matchups, and the reason

339
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: you went and traded all those picks for Jalen Ramsey,

340
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: you paid them all that money, is to match him

341
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: up with guys like this Julio Jones, DeAndre Hopkins. You're

342
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: gonna put him on there, and whoever wins that battle

343
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: is productly gonna win this game. I've been impressed with

344
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: his supporting cast. I mean, Beasley has a nice reputation,

345
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: John Brown too, but they're not exactly like big name

346
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: receivers in the league, and yet many collectively now regardless,

347
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: Buffalo threesome as one of the best receiving cords in

348
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: the National Football League. I think whether or not their

349
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: tight end can go who wound up? I think in

350
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: the concussion protocol after last week's game in Miami will

351
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: also be a critical factor in terms of how much space,

352
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: how much oxygen Stefon Diggs is able to find in

353
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 1: the Rams defense. I'm just more excited to see how

354
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: Jalen actually affects everything else on the field. Right He's

355
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: more than just the quarterback. He's a playmaker. So let's

356
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: see how he affects the entire defense going into this game.

357
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: The old line killing it right now, So is Jared Boff.

358
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: Is there a direct correlation? Yes, David Edwards is in

359
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: for injured Joe Nopum JB. I'll start with you. Yeah,

360
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: a couple of things. Sean McVay is making his quarterback

361
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 1: and his offensive lines lives easy, which is not to

362
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: say what they're doing is easy. It's just that from

363
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,959
Speaker 1: a coaching standpoint, his offensive staff is putting those players

364
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: in great positions to succeed, which is exactly what you

365
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: want your coaches to do at left guard. I'm intrigued because,

366
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: other than the coaching staff telling us that Joe Nobum

367
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: was the best option at left guard, just about every

368
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: other source of information says, actually, Vid Edwards probably deserves

369
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: to be there. He will be there this week. I'm

370
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: curious to see how it operates with him stepping in.

371
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: I guess for me, this is gonna be a great

372
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: challenge Um. This Bill's defensive line. They get after him.

373
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 1: Um Ed Oliver was probably the best player in his

374
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 1: draft when he came out, He's slid a little bit.

375
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: And so the Buffalo Bills have done a great job

376
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: of attacking this defensive one. That's how they want to

377
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: play defense with Leslie Fraser, Sean mcdermam. They come from

378
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 1: that that cover two, rush for get guys to the quarterback,

379
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: you know, a little zone blitz here and there. But

380
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a great challenge for him and

381
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: and I like as I said before, this is a

382
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: matchup league David Edwards, Austin blythe you guys are gonna

383
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: be matched up with Ed Oliver. How can you handle that?

384
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: And if it is, you know, you guys did a

385
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 1: really good job with Fletcher Cox. You knew, you knew

386
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 1: where he was gonna be. You kind of you knew

387
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 1: how to game plan and run away from him, sometimes

388
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 1: run at him. It's gonna be another tough challenge. Again,

389
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: this guy's a little bit He's much quicker, not as strong,

390
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: but much quicker and more athletic Thancx. So we'll see

391
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 1: how it goes. And granted, you go agains Aaron Donald

392
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: every day in practice, but this is gonna be another

393
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: challenge for you. Yeah. The Sean McDermot defense is historically

394
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: they come well the game off the edges a lot,

395
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: you know, Jerry Hughes is things like this. This is

396
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 1: going to be a significant challenge for the offensive line.

397
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: But like we talked about earlier, they're playing on a

398
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: thread and that's the most important part. I mean, whatever

399
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: they're doing technically and things like that, it's working. But

400
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: they have got to run the football. This offense does

401
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 1: not function if they don't run well. You talk to

402
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: any DC in the league when they face the Rams.

403
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 1: If Jared Goff can run action pass. He's a different

404
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: quarterback if they can't run and he's got a drop

405
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: back in the pocket. That way they can disguise coverages.

406
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 1: So they have got to establish himself on the ground

407
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: against a very, very good front. That's going to be

408
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: key to how this offense functions. Let's continue that thought

409
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: on the Buffalo defense with their injury report and last week,

410
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 1: at this time, we thought Philadelphia was in a world

411
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 1: of hurt, but the Eagles got right and got most

412
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 1: of their key players on the field. We'll see if

413
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: that happens with the b Milano and Edmonds, their inside

414
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: linebackers are practicing in a limited capacity. Their nickel Terren

415
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: Johnson also landed on the injury report this week with

416
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: a groin. That's not good news necessarily. With Cooper Cup

417
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 1: coming to town and Tyler Higby as well. How important

418
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 1: is it do you guys think for those three pieces,

419
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 1: two inside linebackers and a slot corner to go against

420
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: this Rams offense. Well, Terrell Edmonds is uh, It's not Terrell.

421
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: It's Tremaine, right, Tremaine, Tremaine. They're all over the place.

422
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,719
Speaker 1: It's about seventeen of them in the league right now.

423
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 1: I wish I was there, Mom and Dad. But I'll

424
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: say this, Uh, with Edmonds at middle linebacker, that with

425
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:38,959
Speaker 1: him or without him at middle linebacker, that is going

426
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 1: to change everything. His ability, his range, his len um though,

427
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: that skill set is what kind of stops the inside

428
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,120
Speaker 1: break around. So we see the Rams love to throw

429
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 1: um and so you you you hope that you always

430
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: want to play against the best, and and and as

431
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: a as a competitor, you always want them to be

432
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: at their best, and it's going to challenge you to

433
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 1: another way. I just think in the running game, it

434
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter at this point who the middle linebacker

435
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: is for the running game, but if you don't have

436
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: those guys there, it's gonna make it much easier for

437
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 1: the Rams offense to kind of execute all over the

438
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: place where they can throw the ball over the middle, outside,

439
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: all those different things. But with Edmund's there in the middle,

440
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough to get the ball over his head.

441
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: Just because he's six four or six five and he

442
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: runs like a four or five and he has a length,

443
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: he could do all those things. And if you watch

444
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: him play, he's very athletic. I mean, he makes some

445
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: interception that you're like, like, that's a that's a safety

446
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: or dB making those type of plays, and that's exactly

447
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 1: what he is. I remember before he came out, I

448
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: was actually watching film with forty nine ers defense according

449
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: to Robert Saloon Edmonds and this is before he got

450
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: technically sound. And what Sean McDermott likes to do in

451
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: his range you talked about it is insane and his

452
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: instincts to beat blocks or step inside of blocks and

453
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 1: not get caught on a position because of his length

454
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: is huge. So if he is not able to play again,

455
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 1: think of Sean McDermott defense as you think of Luke

456
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: Keatley guys like that. That is an important cog in

457
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: what they do because they're run stoppers, but they're also

458
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: guys who have to cover a lot of turf in

459
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: the middle of the field. If he's not in or

460
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: if he's limited, Sean McVeigh is going to go after

461
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: that in some way, shape or form throughout the game.

462
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: That's huge. But the Rams again cannot rely on that

463
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 1: because that front that the Bills are coming with brings

464
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: so much smoke. That should be their initial concern. All right, guys,

465
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna wrap things up with our fantasy picks for

466
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 1: the week. Last week, JB, I gotta give it to you.

467
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 1: You nailed it, Jared Goff. You predicted three touchdowns. So

468
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 1: are you going to bring the heat this week? JB. Well,

469
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: right back at you, Serena. You picked the Rams defense

470
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 1: and they come away with three takeaways and they hold

471
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: another opponent below twenty points, So job well done by you.

472
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: And I about DeMarco picking Higbie with the three receiving touchdowns,

473
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,239
Speaker 1: so I don't know. Maybe I should just retire right there,

474
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 1: because I also mentioned Daryl Henderson having a big week.

475
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: I might take the rest of the season off and

476
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: not venture back into these waters. I'll go with one

477
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 1: I think obvious pick and one under the radar our

478
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: pick Robert Woods going back to Buffalo to face the

479
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: team that drafted him, even though I don't think there's

480
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: any animosity or ill will there. Sean McVeagh has a

481
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 1: funny way of making sure guys with nice storylines find

482
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: their way to pay dirt, so I wouldn't be surprised

483
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: to see Robert targeted, targeted in that red zone area.

484
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:17,360
Speaker 1: And then I'll go with Gerald Everett, who he talked

485
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 1: about maybe if you're gonna roll some coverage towards Cooper

486
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,919
Speaker 1: Cup in the slot or to Tyler Higby coming off

487
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 1: a three touchdown performance, maybe this is Gerald's week to

488
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: get free. Steve, come on, show JB what you got.

489
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: Oh no, see, this is one you talked about all

490
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: those different targets, and soone's time to eat. I'm going

491
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 1: Van Jefferson four catches, ninety yards and a touchdown, and

492
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,239
Speaker 1: it's gonna be an explosive touchdown. We know what you're

493
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: Debous White. He's gonna be locked up on Robert Woods

494
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 1: or whomever. He's a very very good corner and this

495
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 1: is where they're gonna slip Van in pop over the top.

496
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: That's where his big score is gonna come on a

497
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: thirty yard plus TD. All right, I'm gonna you know what,

498
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go at Old Faithful and there's been so

499
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 1: much talk about this guy since he had his big

500
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: game in London that he hasn't produced to that that

501
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: ability that we've looked at. I'm gonna go with Cooper

502
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: Cup and I think Cooper is time for Cooper Cup

503
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 1: to have a day. I think this week is gonna

504
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: be it because they play so much zone in Buffalo

505
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 1: that you're gonna have an opportunity for him to sit

506
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: in those those soft areas in the zone and kind

507
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 1: of pickups. I'm gonna say eight catches, one hundred and

508
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:22,120
Speaker 1: twenty yards and two touchdowns for Cooper cup a big

509
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 1: game was what's gonna be needed? Remember, Mike, Yeah, Mike Iichecki,

510
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: the tight end for the Dolphins had numbers just like

511
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,360
Speaker 1: that last week, so that's that area where they're vulnerable.

512
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 1: You know. The defense didn't actually score any points for me.

513
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: They did give us the NFC Defensive Player of the

514
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: Week and two interceptions. So I'm actually gonna pick the

515
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 1: defense again because if this game goes as close as

516
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: they say it will be, the Rams are gonna have

517
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 1: to score on all three phases, right, jab said Josh

518
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 1: Allen fumbles the ball a lot, so who's taken that

519
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: fumble to the house. Got a lot of options on

520
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: the Rams defense. I'm going week to once again Ram's defense.

521
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, hopefully that show up today. I gotta idea

522
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: behind me. It's okay, Um, that's a rap, guys. I

523
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 1: appreciate you all joining us for another episode of Between

524
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,360
Speaker 1: the Horns, Maurice Jones, Drew, Steve Why, JB. Long. I'm
