Now you've seen the RAMS schedule, let 8 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:30,479 Speaker 1: us know what you think. At least I thought everybody 9 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 1: had seen it. Maurice hadn't seen it. 10 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't say I've seen other people's schedule. I 11 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 2: had to sign an NBA for my other job. Okay, 12 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,559 Speaker 2: so I've seen glimpses of things. But I always like 13 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 2: to be surprised for this because it's a natural, like, 14 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 2: oh wow, this is how we're going to do this. 15 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 2: You know. 16 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 3: I like that here you rubbed off on me this 17 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 3: schedule release. It became a big deal for me. 18 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: Isn't it nice to know. 19 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 4: A deal? Where are we going to December? Is all 20 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 4: I wanted to know. 21 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 2: But see, you're in the cold already, like we're in Jacksonville. 22 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 2: So the first thing I looked at was like November December, 23 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 2: Oh Buffalo, Ah. 24 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 4: Thank you good. But now I get it. It makes sense. 25 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: Speaking of Jacksonville, one thing you did know it had 26 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: to cross your radar. It did is the International Series 27 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: a trip to London right before the Rams by to 28 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: face the Jacksonville Jaguars. My question for you is, who 29 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: will you be working for that weekend? 30 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 4: Like, yeah, can you get it that? 31 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: Can you get the Rams, the Jags and the league 32 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: to pay you that? 33 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 5: You know we're working on that right now. 34 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 4: It is. 35 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 2: It's gonna be a tough one. My age is gonna 36 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 2: have to do a wonderful job. But uh, there's a 37 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 2: there's an opportunity there, there's a possibility. 38 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 3: For three Wow, do we get a kick a part 39 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 3: of it? You're more than welcome to come around. 40 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 4: I'll do it out there. 41 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 3: Tomasoon geat it's week seven, right, week seven, that's uh, 42 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 3: mid October. You would think Travis Hunter is going to 43 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 3: be fully integrated in what they're doing. I can't wait 44 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 3: to see that guy up close. But in that setting, 45 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 3: going to London always fun. Every jersey is represented. It 46 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 3: seems like a bowl game in the middle of a season. 47 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 3: I love going over there to watch football and watch 48 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 3: Rams football, but that part of it, to see Travis 49 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 3: Hunter there in that environment, I can't wait for it. 50 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 5: It's a lot different than when the last time we went. 51 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 2: Now people actually have teams and those teams are supported 52 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 2: in those in said games. Right, so you're gonna see 53 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 2: a ton of Jags. We probably see a lot of Rams. 54 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 3: Uh. 55 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,639 Speaker 2: There's like I've been to the Vikings Jets when last 56 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 2: year literally it was half Bikings half Jets. It was insane, 57 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 2: like you didn't see any other jersey. It was like 58 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 2: Vikings Jets, Like, oh, this is They're starting to kind 59 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 2: of people are starting to find their team and their 60 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 2: niche and go. And I think it's also what's awesome 61 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 2: about it is you you kind of get to see 62 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 2: Rams two point zero right in London, which is exciting 63 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 2: the way they're building their roster, their their coaches, have 64 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 2: their front office. 65 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: Oh you're talking about the James Gladstone Ja Nibow. 66 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 5: Oh yes, all right, yeah, Jake Tenny. I missed that guy, 67 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 5: me too. 68 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: Yeah great, Yeah, before I forget your jersey is still 69 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: the most popular at Wembley. Right, We're still going to 70 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:08,399 Speaker 1: see the most. 71 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean Travis Hunter. 72 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 2: You know in my household, Travis Hunters jumped me. 73 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 5: So we'll figure it out. 74 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 2: Well, we'll see if we find a thirty two there, 75 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 2: we'll make sure we hold that person in high regard. 76 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: You'll hear me say this a couple of times throughout 77 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: the show. The rams dot com is where you want 78 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,399 Speaker 1: to be today for the schedule, release all the content, 79 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: to see it laid out, and to make sure that 80 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,799 Speaker 1: you get your tickets to Sofi Stadium. I'll remind you 81 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: throughout the show, but the Rams dot com can't miss it. 82 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: The Rams dot Com Slash ti x for single game tickets, 83 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: Slash twenty twenty five Slash tickets, everything you need is 84 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: right there. Here's what I thought we would do in 85 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: terms of structure, and feel free to ignore me completely 86 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: and ticket whatever direction you want. But I thought we 87 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: could go through like things we like about the schedule, 88 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: things that we're a little wary of, don't love, and 89 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: then the big question that I want to get to, 90 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: and maybe we can just start with it because it's 91 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: chronological too, is can the Rams start faster? Can they 92 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: start stronger? 93 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 4: This year? 94 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: The last two seasons have been thrilling, right, they stumbled 95 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: a three and six and one and four and they 96 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: hit their by at three games under five hundred. That 97 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: was a lot of fun to see them go through 98 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: those furious. 99 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 4: Rallies, was it was it though? It was it was. 100 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: Shaved years off, no question. But the second half we're thrilling. 101 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: But there's a reason why they're historic and in some 102 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,919 Speaker 1: ways unprecinged because that's not a blueprint for success. So 103 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 1: when you look at the top half of this schedule, 104 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: can you see a path of five and two or 105 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 1: six and one coming back from London? 106 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 4: H okay? So you open with the Texans, then you 107 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 4: got the Titans. 108 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 3: I mean two teams that really don't have I guess 109 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 3: the marquee value, but I mean good. 110 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 4: Enough teams to Texans are good. 111 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 3: They can come hit you, absolutely, but it's a good 112 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 3: way to start. And then you go into at Eagles. 113 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 3: That's so I think you have to start faster than 114 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 3: what you've started in the last couple of seasons based 115 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 3: on what you have. 116 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 4: So let's hope and I'm with you. 117 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 3: It was fun watching those furious rallies because, like you said, man, 118 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 3: if you're stuck in the middle of the ocean. When 119 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 3: you see that relief boat coming, you're happy. So how 120 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 3: it started, how it ended, I love how it ended. 121 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 3: But if you can just bottle that what you did 122 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 3: in Philadelphia and start this season as game twenty one 123 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 3: and enter that the beginning of this schedule, you can 124 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 3: hit the ground running against the Eagles and everyone else. 125 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 4: You have to play early. 126 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think when you talk, game one is the 127 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 2: most important, right, because you're one hundred and sixteen days, right, 128 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 2: one hundred and sixteen days. And then think about it 129 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 2: is you have a young quarterback I'm talking about the 130 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 2: Texans here, who struggled as a sophomore, right, he had 131 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 2: the sophomore slump, right, and so how does he bounce back, right? 132 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 2: How do you help him bounce back or does he 133 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,919 Speaker 2: bounce back against I think the first part and the 134 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 2: second part of that is their defense is really good. 135 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 2: I mean, they have some really good pass rush, They 136 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 2: have two edge guys that can get after the quarterback. 137 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 4: They stop the robbiets here. 138 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 2: Right, So you have to make sure that you start 139 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 2: fast in that aspect first winning Week one, and then 140 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 2: we can worry about the others. Always have a rookie 141 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 2: quarterback and then we go to Philly. But Week one, 142 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 2: I think to me is normally you could be like ah, whatever, 143 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 2: like blast. Couple year has been a divisional games, just 144 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 2: like ah, you gotta win those. But this one's a 145 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 2: very important game. Is getting right on the right track against. 146 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: The twenty three rookies of the year against the should 147 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 1: have been twenty twenty three rookies of the year. I 148 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: remember two things from Houston last summer. One, how sweaty 149 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: you and I were, and like MGD said, how impressive 150 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: that defensive roster in particular was that that made an 151 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: impression on Yeah. 152 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 3: Absolutely, That's why I'm happy it's here. And like you said, 153 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 3: it's it's almost like you would start the old school 154 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 3: college schedule. I mean, one that you can win, one 155 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 3: that's probably over your head, and one that's kind of 156 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 3: evenly matched. This is a great way to start the season. 157 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 3: If you ask me for the Rams, you're. 158 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: Gonna see Cam Orb's home debut in Nashville. And even 159 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,359 Speaker 1: though I cautioned this by saying it didn't go the 160 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: Rams way in Chicago against Caleb Williams, Generally you want 161 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: to face rookie quarterbacks in September. That should bode well 162 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: for the Rams odds of winning that game. Philly and 163 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 1: Baltimore the big ones. I think you circled them already. 164 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: How about the fact that both of those are ten 165 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: am regional kickoffs? Did that get your attention at all? 166 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 4: Yuh? 167 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 2: I wonder if they can flex it, but I know 168 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 2: they kind of put a role and they can flex games. 169 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, Ravens and Rams start hot. You could see that 170 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:57,159 Speaker 1: game from Yeah. 171 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 2: But it's funny because like the Rams do well at 172 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 2: ten ams. So maybe someone, maybe someone was like, hey, you. 173 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,679 Speaker 1: Know what I thought of cold, You're our shirtless heckler 174 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: from Lincoln Financial. 175 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 4: Filh my goodness. 176 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: I mean he's still gonna be ready, but he's gonna 177 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: have to start like five am to be as ready 178 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: as in January. 179 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 4: Yeah. 180 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, Well he had to get ready though because it 181 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 2: was a little pretty chilly out there. But it's gonna 182 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 2: be a little warmer to see if he makes it 183 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 2: to the third quarter. 184 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: How about the AFC South. Three out of four to 185 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: start in that crossover division and all four before the bye, 186 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: You're gonna know whether or not you're good enough to 187 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: win that division before you compete for your own. 188 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 2: Well. I love the fact that you you you kind 189 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 2: of start with some young quarterbacks early on, uh, Anthony 190 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 2: Richardson or Daniel Jones, and that that cold game is 191 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 2: gonna be huge. It's not in India, it's here in 192 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 2: la which is nice to get that. And then obviously, 193 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 2: you know, we talked about the Jags. 194 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 4: A little bit. 195 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 5: But I think if you're if you're two and. 196 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 2: Oh in that AFC South and you get to to London, 197 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 2: you should be you should be comfortable. And I about 198 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 2: another young quarterback and the young system being built that 199 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 2: you can probably take advantage of. 200 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: You said you looked at December right for weather games, 201 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: no real weather concerns for the Rams. London and Seattle 202 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: could always be cold and that's just how it is. 203 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: But otherwise a lot of indoor environments and I don't 204 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: think it'll be snowing in Philadelphia in September. I think 205 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: you're in the clear there. 206 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,119 Speaker 4: Hopefully you never know. Please. 207 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: Some other things that I like, only two short weeks, right, 208 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: two Thursday night games on the schedule like last year, 209 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:34,199 Speaker 1: but the Rams are home on Sunday before Thursday night football, right, 210 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: so that you don't have to leave the time zone 211 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: either for either of those Thursday night games, So I 212 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,679 Speaker 1: think that's advantageous. You hope that is, yeah, And then 213 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 1: you catch many byes on the other side of those 214 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: Thursday night games, and those mini byes lead to extra 215 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: prep for the trip to face the Ravens and then 216 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: late in the year what could be a colossal clash 217 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: with Raheem Morris and the Falcons. Think about how much 218 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: could be on the line on that Monday night football. 219 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 4: It could be a lot. 220 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 3: I like where that Ravens game sits, it's kind of 221 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 3: like you get the break before and then you get 222 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 3: the bye week coming soon. 223 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 4: So I mean you could really just. 224 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 3: Like you think about it, blow it out and then 225 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,839 Speaker 3: get to your bye week a double bye so to speak, 226 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 3: and kind of rest up, because I think that's the 227 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 3: one thing besides looking at December, that's what every player does. 228 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 3: Where you're gonna be when it's cold, When is the 229 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 3: bye week and when do you have those breaks? And 230 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 3: if you have that built in double by, like you 231 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 3: have a chance to do certain things defensively, offensively, and say, 232 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,199 Speaker 3: if something happens we get banged up, we have two 233 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 3: weeks basically or ten extra days to rest up. So 234 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 3: I like where that Ravens game sits, and then I 235 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 3: like where the buy sits right after. 236 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 1: It's right in the middle of the schedule. 237 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 4: Right then. 238 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: That's the nice byproduct of going to London is you 239 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 1: get the option to have that break, that open date 240 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: and that bye and then the New Orleans game that 241 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: follows it that leads you into the trade deadline. And 242 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: we always watch the RAM during the trade deadline because 243 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: they've done some things over the year and with where 244 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: they are in the evolution of this roster and the 245 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 1: fact that they hold an extra first round pick, that 246 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: trip to London, the bye where it is, the home 247 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 1: date with New Orleans all before the trade deadline, and 248 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 1: a trip to San Francisco. Wow, what a fascinating stretch 249 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: of weeks that could be. 250 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 2: Do you remember Sean having that interview about having that 251 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 2: extra first rounder and he kind of smirked. 252 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 4: Yeah. 253 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 2: I feel like he kind of knew that all this 254 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 2: was going to happen at this point, Like, Okay, we 255 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 2: depending on how we play, we can go out and 256 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 2: get whoever we want to help us. 257 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 4: On this run. 258 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 2: And again, you were talking about starting fast if you 259 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 2: can get out of that for those first seven games 260 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 2: with a positive four and three or five and two, 261 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 2: do you know that second that run is coming? And 262 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 2: that's when this team starts to click. And so to 263 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 2: have that that that piece, that ability to go out 264 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 2: and trade for someone and then either like play the 265 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 2: Saints or didn't go to San franch So how do 266 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 2: you want to do it? 267 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: I remember a few years back a couple high profile 268 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,959 Speaker 1: players made their Rams debut in Santa Clair against I 269 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: don't think the outcome was what the Rams wanted that night, 270 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: but the end of that story was good as I. 271 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I think that it was with the outcome 272 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 2: we wanted, didn't we wanted? 273 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 5: Sure? 274 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 4: Who said that? Okay? 275 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: I want to apologize to everyone who's been waiting for 276 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 1: Rams Thanksgiving Day for a long long time. I know 277 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: the appetite is out there and it will happen, but 278 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: the NFL's longest Thanksgiving Droute continues, how are you guys 279 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: feeling about dodging all of the holiday games? 280 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 4: I'm okay with it. Good on the field, I'm okay 281 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 4: with it. I mean, did you want to play on Thanksgiving? 282 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 2: Now? I'm a football fan. Even when I played, I 283 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 2: used to watch on things. We'd practice early in the 284 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 2: morning and head home and I head home the food 285 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 2: to be, then the TV beyond we'd be watching games. 286 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 2: That's what you want to do. 287 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 3: I was one of the Turkey Leg though, come on, 288 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 3: I would love for the Turkey Leg be fun. 289 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 2: But back in the day before they started doing triple headers, 290 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 2: when we were playing, you have to go to you 291 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 2: You've had to go to Dallas or. 292 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,199 Speaker 4: To Detroit right as far from Jackson someday fun. 293 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, last year there was a possibility because of the 294 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: at Detroit on the schedule without the Lions or the 295 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: Cowboys hosting the Rams. This year it was it was 296 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,679 Speaker 1: slim odds. I think that eleven day break around Christmas 297 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: is kind of key huge. I mean not just for 298 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: moms and day ads, but in terms of where the 299 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: RAMS could be when you play what at Seattle and 300 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: then get an extra mini buy in there before the 301 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 1: closing stretch at Atlanta and then how about Arizona? Is 302 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 1: the league telling us something about the Rams and the 303 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,319 Speaker 1: Cardinals that they play twice in December January? Like I 304 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 1: tend to look, where are the Niners games? They're both 305 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: done by week ten? Where the other division games. They're 306 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: setting up for finales against Arizona in La Well. 307 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 2: I think we talked about it last year. Arizona really 308 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 2: has kind of caught some interest in how they've changed. 309 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 4: They've evolved in. 310 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 2: To being more of a power team, and they've played 311 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 2: really well early in the year and they kind of 312 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 2: fall off a little bit at the end. But I 313 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,719 Speaker 2: think that the Cardinals have done a great job of really. 314 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why it's crazy to put him at the end, 315 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 3: because usually that's where I guess Kyler starts to fizzle 316 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 3: out a little bit. But maybe he's changed, or maybe 317 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 3: they're going to be different. Who knows, but you might 318 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 3: be onto something there. 319 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: I don't think he fizzled against the Rams. Training rides 320 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: at ear holes I remember. But other than that, it 321 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: was pretty good game. Some things that I don't love. 322 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 1: Four road back to backs. 323 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 4: Got it's hard. 324 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 3: Look, a McVeigh team travels well, so they can handle 325 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 3: stuff on the road. 326 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 4: That's a hard one though. 327 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,959 Speaker 1: More miles than any NFC team. That was going to 328 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: be the case anyways. And then you add London in there. 329 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're heading east a lot, but I mean that 330 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 2: comes that that that all tells me, and I believe 331 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 2: the way that Shawn structed his practices and how the 332 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 2: staff is built off of like sleep and stretching and 333 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,079 Speaker 2: all that you could handle. That we did that when 334 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 2: I was with the Raiders. I was done by week ten. 335 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 2: Let's sit me out, put me put your on the shelf. 336 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 2: Really wow, we had went to in the first like 337 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 2: eight weeks. We had went to the East Coast twice 338 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 2: and to London and back, and then had to double 339 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 2: back and go and we had to play. We played 340 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 2: the Rams, or we played the Rams. That's when you 341 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 2: guys beat U fifty two. 342 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 4: Oh my god, yes, the blowout game. I remember that. 343 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, that was that was that. I remember waking up. 344 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 2: This is how tired I was due. It was a 345 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 2: little size for I remember waking up. It was like 346 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 2: it's supposed to be like like a seven o'clock wig 347 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,959 Speaker 2: up call. I slept in my alarm and I almost 348 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 2: missed the bus. Exhausted. We played at noon. Unbelievable. 349 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 1: So you're suggesting the Rams stay in the Baltimore area 350 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 1: and prepare for London so as not to play. 351 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 5: Or they made his flight to London. 352 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, right, But what I do believe is that they're 353 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 2: better prepared than we were. 354 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: Then they do it differently. I think that's been one 355 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: of the secret ingredients to the success in the Sean 356 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: McVay era, as how well they play in that ten 357 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 1: am window, and the way that Reggie Scott and everybody 358 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: here has kind of calibrated their trips to Land Saturday 359 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: night back time everything Land, play and get home. And 360 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: so I think there's a little bit of a chip 361 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: on the shoulder to be had when you see four 362 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: ten am kickoffs against good opponents, yes, and only four 363 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: primetime assignments. I've got some more context on that in 364 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: a second, but I think you could take that personally 365 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: if you were so inclined. However, as many miles as 366 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 1: the Rams are going to travel, you got to spin 367 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: it to the positive, which is they're to be getting 368 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: home at some decent hours on Sunday nights after Philadelphia, 369 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: after Charlotte, and spending your week around is equally important 370 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: in terms of getting ready for that next Sunday. 371 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 4: I like playing in the morning. I do like to 372 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 4: get up and go and get up and go. Let's 373 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 4: just go. I hate waiting around and thinking about the game. 374 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: Well, let's you Philly as an example, Right, you're gonna 375 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: be home from Philly at a normal hour on Sunday night. 376 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: MJD might even be with Chris Rose at the at 377 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: the network at the end. 378 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 4: It possibly. 379 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 2: Maybe that's kind of what they were thinking that maybe 380 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 2: that's what they were thinking, maybe the NFL. 381 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: If you put that on Sunday Night football instead, then 382 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: the Rams are getting home at four in the morning 383 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: on Monday, getting set for the week ahead. So again, 384 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: you can only deal the car, you can only play 385 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: the cards you're dealt. And I think this is overall fair, 386 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: even though, yeah, what I'd like to see more Sunday 387 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: night football on the schedule, sure, But I will point 388 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: out too that Game of the Week window that one 389 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: twenty five Pacific four twenty five Eastern, that's a featured 390 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: window like Fox and CBS, they played big money to 391 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 1: have have that on a national broadcast, and the Rams 392 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: have four of those two. So if Tom Brady and 393 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 1: Tony Romore are calling your games, you're doing something right. 394 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 1: And the Rams are selected for four of those. 395 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 4: That's why I like the schedule release. 396 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 3: This is when that queasiness starts, where it starts to 397 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 3: get serious, where you know when and where and all 398 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 3: that sort of stuff, and then you start worrying about 399 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 3: the ifs and wins and who you have. So this 400 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 3: this will be fun and look, the more eyeballs on 401 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 3: the product, the better. But I do think that the 402 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 3: way the team is constructed now, I think they're prepared 403 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 3: for this, to travel, to play primetime games, to play 404 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 3: games on different continents with the guys you have and 405 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 3: the team makeup you have. So I like the way 406 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 3: this rolls out as a schedule. Some things you don't like. 407 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 3: But if you want to talk about a team that's 408 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 3: going to roll into the playoffs and win some meaningful 409 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 3: games in December, this could be that schedule. 410 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: Were you surprised the Cooper Cup Homecoming is a normal 411 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: Sunday one o'clock kickoff in a regional window. 412 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 4: When that game by Sea week eleven, Week eleven, and 413 00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 4: that's there here right. 414 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: So far so Cooper comes to So if I before 415 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: the Rams go to Loomenfield in Seattle, I like that, 416 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,360 Speaker 1: But I thought that game had Week one potential. Yeah, 417 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,159 Speaker 1: they didn't put it there. They didn't put it in 418 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,360 Speaker 1: any Island game. It's just part of the schedule. 419 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 3: I'm thinking if you didn't do it early, then I 420 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 3: mean you kind of factor in is he gonna be 421 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,479 Speaker 3: there later? So Cooper Cup because if he's not, if 422 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,439 Speaker 3: he has another injury situation in Seattle and he's not 423 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 3: in the game, then you might have just wasted a window. 424 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 4: So I get it. It makes sense. Maybe it just 425 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 4: makes sense for us here. That's gonna be huge to 426 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 4: see him in a different uniform. 427 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,360 Speaker 3: But I can understand if you didn't do it week one, 428 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 3: that might have been your window there for that. 429 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 5: That's gonna be tough, man. That's gonna be a hard day. 430 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, it's gonna be a hard day. 431 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 2: So let's let's keep it kicking the can down the road. 432 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:42,199 Speaker 5: Wait and. 433 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,439 Speaker 1: Kicks your butt if you do want to see that 434 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,679 Speaker 1: game at Sofi Stadium the Triple Crown winners return. Uh, 435 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 1: it is the Rams dot Com for your tickets, individuals 436 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:54,880 Speaker 1: in season tickets. 437 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 4: When he's when he's announced, I'll be standing up and 438 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 4: then what are you gonna do? That's it. 439 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 3: He's the opponent after that, But I'll stand up give 440 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 3: them a problem. That's why I love. 441 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 2: You, because you could you could turn it on. Yeah, 442 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 2: I'm gonna be sad the whole game. Yeah, because it's 443 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 2: like we got to get you, and we don't want 444 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:10,639 Speaker 2: to get you, but we gotta get you. 445 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,199 Speaker 4: After that, you're the opponent, y, Yes, and watch them 446 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 4: on third down. 447 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 1: Right the game you are looking forward to most. 448 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 4: You want to go I got two go ahead? 449 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,920 Speaker 3: Well, of course, Philly, because you you you took them 450 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 3: to get the last few plays and you were that close. 451 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,880 Speaker 3: And even the Eagle said that was their toughest opponent. 452 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 3: That was the team they worried about the most. So 453 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 3: you were that close there. And of course, uh, anybody 454 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 3: h that's been around here for a while, you're gonna 455 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 3: have that Lions game Circle. It ain't over yet, and 456 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 3: I hope Higbee is healthy for that game. There's a 457 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 3: lot of get back in that game. There's a lot 458 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 3: of storylines there. So that game is always circle. The 459 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:54,160 Speaker 3: one I'm dreading the most is Baltimore. Yeah, Balti. 460 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 4: It's hard to get to. 461 00:18:55,600 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 3: It's AFC North Ball, everything's outdoors, it's it's Lamar, it's 462 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 3: everything against them though last time at least, Yeah, but 463 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,359 Speaker 3: they test you in all three phases. Remember how that 464 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 3: last game ended on a punt return as a heartbreaker, 465 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:12,880 Speaker 3: So that one always. Oh but the Lions, Yes, Philadelphia absolutely. 466 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 2: I was having to have the jag circles, that's just 467 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,919 Speaker 2: an easy one, but I had the Lions. I had 468 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 2: the Lions circle just because of you know, I felt 469 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 2: like the Rams in week one really had an opportunity 470 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,120 Speaker 2: to go out there and win that one. But like 471 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 2: your whole line gets taken out in that first game. 472 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 2: It's kind of like a but then we saw what 473 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 2: happened to Detroit later on, right who was a contender, 474 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 2: and then they got all banged up. So hopefully both 475 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 2: teams are healthy playing you get a really good game, 476 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:39,120 Speaker 2: and then for. 477 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 1: Me, I would have liked that Lions game early it's 478 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 1: I'm fine with where it is. Complaints, but because of 479 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 1: the new coordinators I could have, I guess made the 480 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: case like while they get their sea legs, maybe try 481 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,959 Speaker 1: and jump them. But you could spend it the other 482 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: way too, which is who knows what they're throwing out 483 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: their scheme wise, I don't think it's gonna be too different, 484 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: but you'll have a lot inventory. 485 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,360 Speaker 2: And that's going to be a playoff game, right, That's 486 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 2: going to be a contending game of you two teams 487 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 2: battling for position you hope in the playoffs at that time. 488 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 2: And another one for me is always you know again 489 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 2: being a guy from the bey Ear. I love whenever 490 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:14,120 Speaker 2: we go to San Francisco. 491 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 1: It's just the at San Francisco. 492 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't want it. 493 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 5: Here like here, it's like they I want to go 494 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 5: up north. 495 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: The one I'm looking forward to most is is week five, 496 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 1: Thursday night football against the forty nine ers. It's it's 497 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: tough every year to knock that one off the pedestal. 498 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to go up there though, because you know, 499 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 2: I remember this last Thursday we went up there. It 500 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 2: was at San Francisco. It was raining. We won twelve 501 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 2: to six.
