1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: From the Rams studio connected by AT and T. Welcome

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 1: to Between the Horns. I'm Miles Simmons. I am here

3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 1: with my buddy to Marco far It is Wednesday, September thirteenth,

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: and the Rams are one. And oh huh, how about

5
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: that trying to poke the ball out? You're trying to

6
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: poke the ball. I'm trying to poke the ball. If

7
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: you can see that to unnerved Miles already, it's true,

8
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: But you can't unnerve me because the Rams one forty

9
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 1: six to nine. Is that all it takes for you

10
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,479
Speaker 1: to have girls of steel as the Rams? No, it was.

11
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: It was an awesome, awesome victory. Yeah, a great way

12
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: to start the season. Um. Great job of the offense

13
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: down the field, and even better job by the defense.

14
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: So um. And what can you say about special teams?

15
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: What haven't we said about Bones Fossil and what haven't

16
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: we said about those guys right now? Yeah? Well, I

17
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: mean it was just a complete performance and that's really

18
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: what you want to do, and against any team, but

19
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: I think especially a team like the Indianapolis Colts that

20
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: came in without Andrew Luck, without Ryan Kelly at center,

21
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,319
Speaker 1: without Ron Vante, Dave excuse me at cornerback, like you

22
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: did what you should do to a team that is

23
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: missing three of it of its top players. I could

24
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: see the board now from when I was a player,

25
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: when coach for mel would would tell us he was

26
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: teaching us how to win football games, teaching us how

27
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: to win in this league. And one of the things

28
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: that stood out was keep losing teams losing. That's what

29
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: winning teams do, That's what playoff teams do. So Indianapolis

30
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: came in, like you said, they were shorthanded, they didn't

31
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: play very well in preseason, they didn't put out a

32
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: good film in preseason on either side of the ball.

33
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: So the Rams treated them like they should treat them,

34
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: like every other good team in the league is going

35
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: to treat them. You dominated them on both sides of

36
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 1: the ball. You you you brought up something before we

37
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: were on the air, And I think it's just interesting

38
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 1: about the way these two teams meet and the way

39
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: that they always end up having wacky matchups. Right, Yeah,

40
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: Doc Weiner, our old stat guy who who text me

41
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: during the games. Yeah, So if they ever come down

42
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: to me during the game and it's just like dead air,

43
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: I'm talking to doc because he'd sent me a stat

44
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: and I'm like, what is this. But a couple of

45
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: years ago, when the Rams played the Colts in Indianapolis,

46
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: the score was thirty eight to eight. Yes, back in

47
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen. Yeah, that was the only time in league

48
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 1: history there's been a thirty eight to eight game, which

49
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: is remarkable. Remarkable, it was. It was shocking, but you

50
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 1: didn't really think about it. And it's been done since.

51
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: So sure enough, during the game or after the game,

52
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: I get another text forty six to nine has never

53
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 1: happened ever in NFL history, which is just mind bob

54
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: fifteen thousand games. Yeah, yeah, this is what he sends me. Yeah,

55
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: he's an encyclopedia. So I just love that sort of stuff.

56
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: But both teams getting together, I mean, this is an

57
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: old rivalry that predates us. So maybe it's something in

58
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: the logos. They don't like each other. Yeah, maybe it's

59
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: always lopsided. Two historic NFL franchises that once traded owners too,

60
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: maybe traded franchises, yeah, going way way way back. I

61
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: think that was in the seventies. Maybe they buried a

62
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: goat or is that the is that the bad luck

63
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: when you bury a goat. I don't know, that's something

64
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: like that. I don't know. But yeah, anyway, so let's

65
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: get to the defense, because I know that's where you

66
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: want to start, and it's where I want to start

67
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,959
Speaker 1: to because actually start on. Oh. I was impressed with

68
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: the offense, I know. But yeah, the defense scored sixteen

69
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: points or accounted for sixteen points, and that doesn't often happen.

70
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: I'm always going to give credit to the defense for

71
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: making plays, but you can also say Scott Tolzine gave

72
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: up sixteen points. Yeah, where he put the football. I

73
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: mean he gave up fourteen He wasn't in there for

74
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: the safeties. Okay, he gave up fourteen points. Great point, Yeah,

75
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: great point, but no great plays. I thought Tremaine Johnson

76
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: that pick was amazing. Um, let me back up. It

77
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: wasn't necessarily the pick. It's the route that he ran for.

78
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: The receiver absolutely read the route, read the quarterback, stepped

79
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: into the throwing lane, picked it and took it off

80
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: and took off product of a great athlete and great

81
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: coaching because we've watched them practice that, yes, every single day,

82
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: and drills and in practice. So to see that go

83
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: from the practice field to the Coliseum on Sunday. Tremendous.

84
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: That's how you know what's going around. Yeah, credit to

85
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: Aubrey Pleasant cornerbacks coaching Geo Everro, who is the safety's coach.

86
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: Both of those guys work in tandem very well. Sean

87
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: McVay has talked about it how they've just done a

88
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: really great job. And then of course Chruemaine Johnson today

89
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week, which is

90
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 1: the first of his career. Amazing. And Sam Bradford got

91
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: his first NFC Player of the Week. Yes, yeah about that. Yeah,

92
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: that's a whole different discussion. Yeah, a whole different discussion.

93
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: But yeah, great for him. I'm glad he was named captain,

94
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: voted captain. And then to see that, to see that

95
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: be paid back with great play was amazing. Getting the

96
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: ball out, stepping the football, yes, even better than thick

97
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: to me, I would agree with you. And it was

98
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: unfortunate that the Rams could not capitalize on that offensively,

99
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: because look, when you get the ball at the thirty

100
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: four yard line, you gotta go and score touchdown. Oh yeah,

101
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: and you know, we can talk about the penalties and

102
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: all that and the sort of mistakes later. But with

103
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: Truemain Johnson right now, I think you're showing why you

104
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: gave him the franchise tag two years in a row.

105
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and guys that are out there, and I

106
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: think t Y Hilton, if he didn't know, I think

107
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: he found out and the rest of the cults found out.

108
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: That is Tony Montana at corner. I'm sure he is

109
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: absolutely no joke. He takes no prisoners um and he

110
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 1: wants you to get nothing. He's an absolute dictator on defense.

111
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: You get nothing, I get everything. I love that as

112
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: long as he plays within the rules, and he has

113
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: he has plays within the rules, doesn't hurt the football team.

114
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: I love that sort of fire start that fireplug. Okay,

115
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: I gotta the Tony Montana reference is totally lost. I

116
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: know you looked at me with blank eye. I moved on. Okay,

117
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: well what is it from? Like, let's just solve the

118
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: mystery a little bit. You don't know Tony Montana. No

119
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: text miles, everyone to send him text, pictures, videos means

120
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 1: whatever about what Tony is? Okay, Well, just overall, if

121
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: you're flooded by the way you're flooded. I hope people

122
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: that references. You know why, because that means that people

123
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: are listening to tell you where from. Yeah, I can

124
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: send him all the references from Tony Montana anyway, school

125
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: him people. Yeah, I need to learn me something. But

126
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: you know, when you look at the stats from the

127
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: end of that game, I mean, Indianapolis had only ten

128
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: first downs. They were oh of ten on third down

129
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: plus o one on fourth down. You know, they had

130
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty five yards. And this is from

131
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: a group the Rams defenders that really had not played

132
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: together all preseason, and yet they went out there and

133
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 1: they still dominated. They did um. I was looking at

134
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 1: the numbers, and I was looking at Mark Marin in particular,

135
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: because what you mentioned, he didn't have any preseason reps.

136
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: And if you look at his stat line one assisted

137
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,239
Speaker 1: tackle and a bunch of zeros, that's good and that's

138
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: not that's misleading because when you have a defensive front

139
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: that's going off like he had on game day, there's

140
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: not much for you to do. So many players to make. Now,

141
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: there's some things that I'm sure he's going to get

142
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: better at, instinctual things as you keep playing football. Everyone

143
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 1: He's it's almost like a first preseason game for him

144
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: in this defense. So yeah, he's getting up to feed.

145
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: But just watching Michael Brocker's Yeah, wrecking shop. That's the

146
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,799
Speaker 1: name I was going to bring up, because yeah, well

147
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: when it's like you said, yeah, it's like you said, Look,

148
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: Mark Barron doesn't desires necessarily have as much to do

149
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: because Michael Brockers is leading the team in tackles, yes,

150
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: and that is rare for a nose tackle. He's moving people,

151
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: getting off blocks and making plays all at the same time.

152
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: And when it's when it's his time to make a

153
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: play and he's not doubled, he's in the backfield. Yes, um,

154
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: watching Ethan Westbrooks, same thing. Yeah, even big Ty Walker

155
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: played big. He played huge. Yeah, he played great. It

156
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: couldn't have gone any better for those Frank guys and

157
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: the rookie getting in their ten yes, making plays and

158
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: being energetic. So seeing those bigs upfront making plays, there's

159
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: just not much for linebackers to do in a game

160
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: like that, and that's a fortunate thing, right. I mean

161
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: they held Frank Gore too. I should really look this

162
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: up right now, but I don't have it quite in

163
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: front of me. But he was a non factor. Yes,

164
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: they made Frank Gore pretty much a non factor. And

165
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: that's what happens when you get two defensive scores first

166
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: off and you know in the fresh three quarters. But

167
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: it also happens when you have this attacking front and

168
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: they're working together. Well yeah, and in the passing game.

169
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: Same thing for the linebackers. M Scott told me, when

170
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,239
Speaker 1: you think, if you're Alec Ogletree and you're Mark Barron

171
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: in this situation with the the the players that Indy had,

172
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: maybe your first or second read aren't going to be

173
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: the guys you're covering or the responsibility your zone area

174
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: sure aren't going to be those guys. And with the

175
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: pressure of the way it was, that quarterback wasn't getting

176
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: a second and third read. He was. It's one to

177
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: get the ball out or you're getting hit. Yes, are

178
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: one two when it's picked. So I mean, there's really

179
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 1: not much for them to do, but it's good tape

180
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: for them to study the rams, to study and learn

181
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: and get better. If you're the Colts, you don't even

182
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: watch that on offense. There's no point in watching. No,

183
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: there's not. And you know what, you have that second

184
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: pick too. I want to bring up LaMarcus Er because wow, yeah,

185
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: that play was outstanding. Remember his nickname when he was drafted.

186
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: Do you remember what they called him? Actually don't know,

187
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: you don't remember how the the coaching staff the the

188
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: the coaching staff then described him as a frisbee dog.

189
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: They wanted to play him in the middle of the

190
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: field and just let him go get the football. That

191
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: was the first time he actually played like it because one,

192
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: where did he come from to? How high up did

193
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: he go to get that football? Yeah? Yeah, I swear

194
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: he caught it backwards because he like he caught it

195
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: and were right, he's like in a pure ladder or

196
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: something almost, But it was. It was really incredible to

197
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: see and and it was interesting because I think somebody

198
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: turned next to me and they were like, oh, so

199
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: Marcus joined his first interception. I was like, really shocking, right, yeah,

200
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 1: lots of passes defense, but the actual first pick that's it. Yes, yeah,

201
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: and and the the you know passes defense you talk

202
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: about that he had that one early in the game.

203
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: I think on third down where he's over the middle. Yeah,

204
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: if he doesn't swap that thing gone and he does, right,

205
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: I mean, see that's stuff where you'd say, against the Cults,

206
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: you'll get away with that. But as the degree of

207
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: difficulty moves up with the the different quarterbacks you're going

208
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: to play, right, that play comes big? Yeah, look for them? Sure, okay,

209
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: right right, But I think it was a hell of

210
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: a play. It was, And I think, okay, it's like

211
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: when you start playing a game, right, or you're playing

212
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,839
Speaker 1: a video game Madden for instance, Okay, you start out

213
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: on an easier setting if you don't know what you're doing, right,

214
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 1: you figure out about what you're doing, yes, and then

215
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,439
Speaker 1: you keep making it a little bit harder. And I'm

216
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: not and you know when a game turns out forty

217
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: six to nine, Like I know, the colts get paid too.

218
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: But it's almost like you're playing on rookie next week.

219
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: You gotta get up, you gotta up difficulty a little.

220
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: Do you play on rookie? I do not. Do you

221
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: play on rookie? I play on pro? Right now? Okay?

222
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: And it's that bad start? Is there all Pro? Yes,

223
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: there's all It's it's rookie pro, All Pro, Matt all Madden,

224
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: go all Madden. If I played all Madden, I will

225
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,719
Speaker 1: never complete a pass. How do you expect to get

226
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: better if you keep playing on something where you know

227
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: you can win, or it's easier for you play video movies.

228
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: I don't play video games to stress myself. I do

229
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: not know if I maddened, I'd just be angry. Challenge yourself,

230
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: I don't challenge. I challenge myself checking the ball down

231
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: at some point, you're gonna have to go down field.

232
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,719
Speaker 1: Every time I do, I throw a pick see at

233
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: some point? Good, Well, just maybe you're not good enough exactly.

234
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 1: I know that's why I play on pro so I

235
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: can relax anyway. But yes, with LaMarcus Joiner and Tremaine Johnson, though,

236
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: I want to ask you specifically, is this scheme better

237
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: for them when they're playing more man coverage? I think

238
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: Tremaine can play in anybody's scheme. Yeah. Um, And if

239
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: you had him, you'd make it fit no matter what play,

240
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: You'll make it fit. Now, there's gonna be some guys

241
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: that maybe it's it's not gonna fit what he does best. Um,

242
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: when you think about it, the off coverage that they

243
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: like to play in year's past may not be suited

244
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: to what he does right, Yeah, um, But getting in

245
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: your face playing man coverage, Yeah, that's perfect for him,

246
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: um LaMarcus. Moving him to the middle of the field.

247
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: I thought was a stroke of genius and a matter

248
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: of time because the pick. In my opinion from what

249
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: I saw on Sunday, the pick wasn't his best play. Actually,

250
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 1: it was the play where he knocked the guy out

251
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: of bounds that should have been reviewed. Ye would have

252
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 1: given Indy probably a touchdown. Yes, getting that guy out

253
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 1: of bounds, there was a hell of a play. The

254
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: distance he ran, the hit he made, and the impact

255
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 1: the guy had him outweighed by a few pounds. I

256
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: think everybody will but the impact to move him out

257
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 1: of bounds and at least give you another chance at

258
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: a goal line stop. Yeah, I thought that was his

259
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: best play a game. That's what the safety does. Yeah, exactly. Well.

260
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,199
Speaker 1: In years past, they used to call the back end

261
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 1: safety the angel of the defense or James laurenidas about

262
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: this because you need that angel sometimes because somebody's got

263
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: to save you when something bad happens underneath. Oh yeah, yeah.

264
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 1: Usually when those guys are making plays down the field,

265
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: there's like twenty one other guys running at him screaming.

266
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: Half of them are going yeah, the other ones, please stop.

267
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: Thank you. Yeah, but that was I agree with you.

268
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 1: That was a huge play by LaMarcus Joiner, and I

269
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: think it just sort of speaks to look the way

270
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 1: he's been getting after it and the way that he's

271
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: finally I think I don't know if it's coming into

272
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: his zone is the right word, right phrase? Because we've

273
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,599
Speaker 1: seen him make plays before. I think he's in the

274
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: right spot now. Yeah, yeah, I think he's in the

275
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: perfect spot for his skill set. There was a shot

276
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: in Oakland where he knocked himself cold. Oh yes, yeah,

277
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: I can't stop watching that play. I show people that

278
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: play because he ran into that hit full speed. He

279
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: didn't break stride. I'll always say, like, if I'm going

280
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: down a dark alley and I gotta pick somebody to

281
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: go with me, I wanted to be LaMarcus, might be LaMarcus, Okay,

282
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: because we're gonna be Okay, I'll take Whitworth. Well, yeah,

283
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 1: I'll take the biggest guy, Rockers, Yeah, the biggest guy

284
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: I can find. Look, I'm taking Whitworth, Brockers, LaMarcus, you

285
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: can take Lemarcus if you want, I'll take I'll take

286
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: the Biggs. Yeah, another guy though that I thought had

287
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: a really good game. And it was in sort of

288
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: limited snaps too. Was Robert Quinn play twenty five snaps,

289
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: but you could feel him out there. Don't be returns. Yeah,

290
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: plastic man is back. As long as you can keep

291
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 1: him healthy for sixteen, you're gonna see special plays. The

292
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: sack phenomenal, Yeah, the track down, the tackle for loss

293
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 1: even better, yes, and that and that was within those

294
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: three plays. It was Quinn's sack, I think Tanzel Smart

295
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: tackle for loss and then Quinn tackle for loss again.

296
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: That was That was a great secret. It's a rarity

297
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: when I try to communicate with players when they're busy,

298
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: when they're working. But I had to yell at him

299
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: and said, space that stuff out. I'm still I'm still

300
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: crowing about the sack and you make another play. Yeah,

301
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: space it out a little bit at least, you know,

302
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: series to series, But just to watch what he can

303
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: do off the edge, and I mean, it's just going

304
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: down the line. And you saw this my all effort squad,

305
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: and ask you about that. Ethan Westbrooks and Matt Longacre,

306
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: the game means a lot to them. When they're in

307
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: the game. You can see the energy and the passion

308
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: that they bring. But the skill is from Quinn, right,

309
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: the guy that no one can do what he does. Yeah,

310
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: on this roster, possibly in the league. And when you

311
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: get ninety nine back, that's more skill plus the toughness.

312
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: If you add all that together, man, you got endless

313
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: waves of run stuff and pass rushers that just won't

314
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: give a defense or an offense a chance to breathe.

315
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: We'll talk about your all efforts squad a little bit.

316
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: Ethan Westbrooks and Mat long I just I love the

317
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: way they play. Um, you know they're they're there are

318
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: guys that it's not pretty when they make plays, but

319
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: it's effective. Yeah. Um, they're they're all out once they

320
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: once the ball is snapped and they diagnose they're getting

321
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: to the ball with bad intentions. Um, and they're doing

322
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: the smart things like Matt Longacre is a better than

323
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: average pass rusher. Just not too many people know that.

324
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: We know that, we know every day where we don't.

325
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: The rest of the world probably doesn't. But he's so

326
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: smart with it. He knows when he makes his first

327
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: move if he's got some sort of advantage, he's going

328
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: to carry that to the quarterback. When he doesn't, when

329
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: they do block him because they do pay those other guys.

330
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: His hand comes up immediately to get in the throwing

331
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: lum and that's rule number one. I thought I taught

332
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: you this. Yeah, you can't sack the quarterback at least

333
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: getting the way the ball may hitch it. He's the

334
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: epitome of that. And that's the way he plays, all energy,

335
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: all effort. He sprints on and off the field. I

336
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: mean you can trust him when he's in the game. Yeah, yeah,

337
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: that's your starters, your skill guys can actually get a blow,

338
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: get a rest, and then you can reinsert them in

339
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: the game and away you go. One of the interesting

340
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: things I thought about this offseason was, at least when

341
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: we came into the off season program, it was like, Okay,

342
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: does Matt long Acre still fit in what they're trying

343
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: to do now that it's a three four And I

344
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: think the answer has been an overwhelming yes. Yeah. Loves

345
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: the game and there are guys that can do that.

346
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: It's more shocking when guys can't, you know, at this level,

347
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: because you're a pro, if you're a right end, and

348
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: then your team, your professional team who's paying you, says okay,

349
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: I need to make you a left end. Well, you

350
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: need to make that transition. You can't say you can't

351
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: say I can't do that. Certain guys can. Those are

352
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: the guys that are drafted in the top five or

353
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: all pros. They can call their shots. But the Westbrooks,

354
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: the long Acres, the Fars, I need you to play

355
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: no tacle, yes, sir, and I'm gonna play it better

356
00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: than the guy you had in there. That's just their mentality. Okay. Um,

357
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: so you mentioned this guy's name, and now that he's back,

358
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 1: we definitely have to talk about him a little bit more.

359
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald now is back in the fold. No new

360
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 1: update on the contract extension or anything like that, but

361
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 1: it's good to just have him back. And you know

362
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: the McVay said on Monday, Well, I was wrong. It's worse.

363
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 1: I mean, because now I can see him. I don't understand,

364
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 1: but he's still not playing him Oh is he may

365
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: or may not play on Sunday. I mean, the goal

366
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: McVay said on Monday in his press conference was it

367
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:36,479
Speaker 1: is that Donald will play on Sunday. So I'll be

368
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: happy when that happens. But I thought I'd be happy

369
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: just to have him back in the building. It made

370
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: it worse. It is it's like, you know, yeah, it's

371
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: like when I'm not gonna, I don't even try. But yeah, yeah,

372
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: you know, you know what I'm thinking. But it is

373
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: it's like the primary color for the Rams. Yes, you're

374
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: getting you're getting him closer to actually being on the field.

375
00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: So that is a good thing. So yeah, yeah, I'm

376
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 1: I'm just being funny, but yeah, I'm glad that this

377
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: whole situation is really working out the way it's worked out,

378
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 1: Like waving the fines, right, I think that speaks to

379
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: how respectful and how understanding both sides are. Yes, I

380
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: think so too. And again we've talked about this multiple times. Look,

381
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: it always seemed like the negotiations were not acrimonious because

382
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: we never heard numbers, and I think that has something

383
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: to do with the respect factor. Right. You heard McVay

384
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,239
Speaker 1: say on Monday that he confirmed a report that he

385
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: did go down with the Rams top brass who at

386
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: lanted to meet with Aaron Donald's representation to just show

387
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:41,439
Speaker 1: how important that Aaron Donald is for what it is

388
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: that they're doing and how important you just from the

389
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: football perspective. And I think what nick they said about

390
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 1: that was great that he just wanted to try to

391
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,360
Speaker 1: be a part of the solution as much as he could.

392
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,360
Speaker 1: Not that he's intimately involved with contract details or things

393
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: like that, but I think for him it just shows, hey, like,

394
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: this is a very important player, This is a very

395
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: good player. He is a big part of what we

396
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: want to be able to do. And just from the

397
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: football perspective, I want him to know that that we

398
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 1: not me. It's not just words. Not for him, it's

399
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: not just words. It's real. And when I heard that,

400
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 1: I thought the same thing. I thought that was cool.

401
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 1: It was also weird because whenever I saw the head coach,

402
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: or if the head coach came to my house, I

403
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: was usually in trouble. Yeah something I did wrong, But no,

404
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: I thought that was cool. And I'm sure that made

405
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: you know. That was big for Aaron Donald as well. Yeah,

406
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: the head coach is here now, he took time away

407
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: from the guys to come see you, and he's talking

408
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 1: to you about how important you are. No shock that

409
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,479
Speaker 1: after that meeting you get Donald back in the building. Now.

410
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: It's not going to solve the business. It's part of

411
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: this and that's not the point. The point was we

412
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: care about you. You're a part of this thing and

413
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: we need you here. And sure enough here he is, yes,

414
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: and that's one of the good things. So integrating him

415
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: back into this defense, how big of a process is that?

416
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: And you know, I'll tell you, um, ty Walker, Tenzell out,

417
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: that's it. Okay, But he hasn't played, you know what

418
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: I'm saying, like Tenzell, ty Walker, go on. That's that's

419
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: how easy it is. I believe you. Yeah, I believe

420
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: that part of it. But when it comes to getting

421
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: back into football shape, yeah, there's some things, like Mark Baron, um,

422
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: some things that you you have to rep in practice

423
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: and in games to hone your instincts, so to speak. Um,

424
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: But guys like Aaron Donald, it's it's second nature to him.

425
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 1: He just needs a short amount of time just to

426
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 1: get himself ready and warmed up to play a football game. Um. Now,

427
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 1: cardio wise, Um, you know, running on the side, running

428
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: by yourself is a little bit different than taking on

429
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: guys and then pursuing him more or less. What I mean, yeah, yeah,

430
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: I mean it's to get his cardio, to get his

431
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: wind up, to get in football shape. He's gonna need

432
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 1: some time. But I thought you meant, like, when do

433
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: you put him in? Oh no, no, no no, no, you don't.

434
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: You don't bring Aaron Donald back and make him a

435
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: backup and have him earn it. Hell no, you just

436
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 1: make way yes, yeah, and put him in, and then

437
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: when he needs a break, you bring in the backups

438
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: who are seasoned and ready to go. Right. I mean,

439
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: do you think you will have to limit his snaps?

440
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: I guess it is more or less what I was

441
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,919
Speaker 1: getting out. I'm gonna this is the same thing running

442
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 1: back coaches will tell bell call backs. I'm gonna run

443
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: you until your tongue hangs out. When when you need

444
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 1: a blow, raise your hand. I'll get the backup in, yes, right,

445
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: But when you're ready to go, you're right back in

446
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 1: the game. Same thing for Donald. Yes, okay, I mean

447
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 1: I think that makes a lot of sense. And one

448
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: of the encouraging aspects I thought of this game is

449
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: that you know, you beat the Colts like this the

450
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 1: way you were supposed to without your best player. Yeah. Um,

451
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 1: And same could be said about the loss from the

452
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,959
Speaker 1: Colts perspective. They didn't have their franchise quarterfair, but you know,

453
00:21:55,040 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: and um from a tolsine family perspective. I'm happy Donald

454
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 1: is not there because that would have been ugly. Yeah,

455
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 1: I mean vicious. I mean, yeah, you get Donald going

456
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 1: against an undrafted rookie center, which I know Pogano can

457
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 1: say all the nice things he ever wants to about

458
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: that guy, about Bond, and I'm sure he is a

459
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: great human being. Yeah, and I'm not trying to disparage

460
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 1: the human but just from an experience in playing standpoint,

461
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: it is extremely tough to ask an undrafted rookie center

462
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: to go up against an experienced defensive front in week one.

463
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 1: I've seen all pros ask for help. Yeah, all pro

464
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 1: centers and guards ask for help on Donald. Yeah. Yeah,

465
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 1: so draft position or undrafted status does not matter. Sure, Yeah,

466
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: the guy is an all purpose ass kicker. Sorry, no,

467
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: I mean, but it's it's true. Yeah. Did you so,

468
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 1: did you see this clip after the game and before

469
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: you move on to the offensive, what Pogano said about

470
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 1: forty nine ers. Yeah? Yeah, that was sort of man

471
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: get but kicked so bad you don't even know who

472
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: kicked it. Well, when you hear stuff like that, it

473
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: kind of confirms what you thought when you see that team.

474
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it seems like they were worried about everything

475
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: else about the game. Yeah, there was just more to

476
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: what they were bringing to Los Angeles than just playing

477
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: the Rams. Yeah, and you've seen that before this team,

478
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: you have. I've been a part of teams like that.

479
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: There's more going on here than just playing a game. Yeah. Yeah,

480
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: and when he makes a slip like that kind of

481
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: says everything. Yeah, it probably does. Um, Okay, so let's

482
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: move on to the offense because we are like twenty

483
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: three minutes into this thing, and Jared Goff through for

484
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: three hundred yards for the first time in his career

485
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,199
Speaker 1: and never really talked that much about it. I mean,

486
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: I went back and I looked, because I was pretty

487
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 1: sure that this is the first time that a passer

488
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: has thrown for three hundred yards since twenty fourteen, since

489
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: I've been in this role really well, and the Rams

490
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 1: have won. Oh, last year, Case Keenum did it against Detroit.

491
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: That was an L right. The year twenty fourteen, Austin

492
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: Davis did it against Philadelphia, another L right. The closest

493
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: I think anyone has come is Nick Foles Week one

494
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 1: against Seattle in fifteen, But that was two ninety seven. Right,

495
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: When you're not over three. When you see that three

496
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: hundred yard mark for your quarterback, chances are something bad

497
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,719
Speaker 1: happened unless you've got an all pro right right right,

498
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 1: that's just and that's your offense. Yeah. Yeah, Um. When

499
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: when he was drafted and you sat back in your

500
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: chair and your mind's eye and you imagine what he

501
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 1: would look like as a pro once he got some experience,

502
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,719
Speaker 1: you saw that, yes, yeah, he can run this offense.

503
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: The little technical stuff, the the athletic stuff that quarterbacks

504
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: need to have to move the football from one spot

505
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: to the other. He's got that in space absolutely. And

506
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,239
Speaker 1: when you watch the way the game was called, and

507
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 1: just watch it from a from an Indianapolis defensive perspective,

508
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: you're guarding the entire field. You are, you are pursuing

509
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: the entire field. He's moving the ball from here, it's here,

510
00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 1: it's here, it's here, it's here, it's here, it's it's

511
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: it's a it's a four quarter mind screw is what

512
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 1: it is? Yes, yeah, and it is. And it's one

513
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 1: of those things where Sean mcvayh talks about it all

514
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: the time. Marrying the run game with the pass game.

515
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 1: You want to have plays that start out looking the

516
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: same but are actually different. You can do that with formations,

517
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 1: You can do that with different types of motion and everything.

518
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: And I think about the Robert Woods had two long

519
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 1: catches that seemed like deep crossing routes that were both

520
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: over twenty yards. I think there was one on the

521
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: first drive. One I think in late leadership in the third.

522
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: Great he did, but yes he did, a lot of

523
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 1: the receivers did. But I was looking at those two

524
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: plays watching film, and they start out looking very different

525
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: because they start out from different formations. In the in

526
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 1: the first quarter, I believe they still had a two

527
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,199
Speaker 1: tight end set and in the third quarter it was

528
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: Tavon Austin coming in motion. And so you get that

529
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 1: fake stuff that they used to do with you fake

530
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: it to Todd Gurley, you fake it to Tavon, and

531
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: then you throw the ball down the field. Now, this

532
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: time the receiver catches the ball. Receivers open, and it's

533
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: a different thing because look, you have this different look

534
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:06,679
Speaker 1: now on the third quarter. Then you got in the

535
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: first quarter, that's great scheme by Sean mcvain, bringing in

536
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: like Tavon and you put him in motion and he's

537
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: a decoy. What it does is it freezes that end

538
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: to the opposite side, So it's a play action. Now

539
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:18,439
Speaker 1: you've got time to throw. You're not going to get

540
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 1: pressure from over there because he's worried about this over here.

541
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: So then it switches again where this guy might be

542
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: your most your most dangerous man on this play, but

543
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: he's so worried about the play action he's eliminated. So

544
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: even if you're unblocked, you freeze because you're not sure

545
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: what's going on. Right, And the time when he did

546
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: get great protection, I mean when there was absolutely no

547
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 1: one within three yards of him, he stood in the

548
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: pocket tall deliver the ball downfield for a touchdown the

549
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup. Yeah, so I thought that how he played

550
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: in this offense and how he well, besides the false

551
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 1: starts in the penal, yes, yeah, they were very efficient

552
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: moving the football. The only damage that was done was

553
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 1: self inflicted. Yes, yeah, and that's the stuff that could

554
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: be corrected exactly. Jared Goff brought that up after the game.

555
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: I'm talking to him in that press conference, that these

556
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 1: mistakes are fixable, and when you get those false starts,

557
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: and I think that might have been after True's fumble

558
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: and fumble recovery. I'm pretty sure because it backed them up. Um,

559
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: those are things that are sort of surprising because they

560
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: come from veterans, right, I mean your two false starts

561
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: came from John Sullivan and Andrew Whitworth. It's not something

562
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 1: you really expect. It happens, it does. There's a lot

563
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: going on in this Absolutely, there's a lot going on,

564
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: and it's still new offense and it's still new surroundings

565
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 1: and environment. But I just think that there's a lot

566
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: to be encouraged by if you're watching that game and

567
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 1: you want Jared Goff to succeed. True, Um, that stuff

568
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: doesn't bother me. Um, the inside runs and the struggle,

569
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: the tough sledge we're getting there. Yeah, that that that

570
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: that is more concerning. I wouldn't say alarming, it's just concerning.

571
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: But I have to amend a statement saying that in

572
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: Annapolis is like all bad. Those tackles that front seven

573
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 1: can play. Yeah, they're really good at stop in the run,

574
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 1: and they gave the Rams fits and that's gonna be

575
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,479
Speaker 1: a season long deal when you when you look at

576
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: the Rams, Uh, the Rams schedule coming up, so they

577
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: have to get better there running the football on the inside. Um.

578
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: Sometimes Todd had chances, sometimes he did not. When he

579
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: did manage to get the ball outside and break into

580
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:27,679
Speaker 1: the open field. Yeah, so that's the stuff that you

581
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 1: have to clean up. So there's a lot a lot

582
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: of positives there, um more positives than negatives. Well what

583
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 1: do you what do you see from Todd Gurley and

584
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: the run game? What what do you notice on film

585
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: that I guess is the biggest issue? Um? I like

586
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: him well against that team, I like attacking off tackle

587
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: because I think you had the advantage there. Your tight

588
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: ends and your tackles were better than their edge guys,

589
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: so you can get the ball to the outside. Um.

590
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: What I do like is I think it's what Todd

591
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: likes about this offense. Okay, if the inside stuff, the

592
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: inside zone aren't working, if it's too clogged up, you

593
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: can still get him the ball in the open field,

594
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: on screens or out of the backfield. And I think

595
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: he flourishes in those roles. So, and I thought you

596
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: were just an eyelash away from breaking a few screens.

597
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: You really were. Yeah. Yeah, you get one guy blocked,

598
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: that was the one going to the left away from

599
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: the Rams bench. Yes, you get a hat on that guy.

600
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: I mean, who knows where that goes. I mean, you're

601
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: off to the races there, and it was a great

602
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: tackle on the other end. Great tackle, yeah yeah. But

603
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: if he steps out of that, he walks into the end. Yeah.

604
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: And so that's I think the good thing about Todd Gurley.

605
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: Even when you know he's not getting that production that

606
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: you would like him to have running the football, you

607
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: can still get him involved in the passing game, where

608
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: he had five receptions for fifty six yards. What I

609
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 1: noticed is when the inside stuff, this is different from

610
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: last season. How Todd is different. When the inside stuff

611
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: wasn't working or they were struggling, he didn't get down

612
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: on himself. It didn't seem like he was frustrated. It

613
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, let's just try something else. Yeah yeah.

614
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: I don't think he had that option last years, like Okay,

615
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna keep coming back to the same stuff that's

616
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: not working. This would be different. We're gonna find ways

617
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: to get him the ball in the open field. Yes,

618
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: because he can be um so effective And when you

619
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: look at it, I think he had um something like

620
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 1: twenty four touches for about ninety five ninety six yards.

621
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: I'd like to move up to thirty thirty thirty add

622
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: when you add his rushing total with his passing totals. Yeah,

623
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: that's that's something there. It's not like Todd Gurley is

624
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:28,239
Speaker 1: rendered totally ineffective just because the run game is not

625
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: quite going the way you want it to. And I

626
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: thought the touchdown run when beautis outstanding. Yeah, I mean

627
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: that's Look, it's not always going to be stand up

628
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: touchdowns where you get to celebrate and show off your

629
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: new dance move. Sometimes you're gonna have to get down

630
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: and dirty and fight your way into the end zone.

631
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what he did. Took on a few

632
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 1: guys and drag them into the endzone. Those are things

633
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: that we've seen, I think from his athleticism since he

634
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: was a rookie, where you know what, when he's close

635
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: to that end zone, he's going to be able to

636
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: stretch the ball out and get it there. Yeah, you know,

637
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: and keep his knees some above the grass. Athletic. Yeah yeah,

638
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: I mean, if he scores standing up from here on out,

639
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: he should be upset. He should want to fight through guys. Yeah. Yeah,

640
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: no easy touchdowns. It should all be hard I think

641
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: sometimes it's nice to be easy. I remember that one

642
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: against the forty nine ers. It was like seventy six

643
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: yards and it was just a power and he went

644
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: in untouched. That's boring. What fun is that? I think

645
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: it's kind of fun. I'll get in there and just

646
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: getting asked. That's one of my favorite all twenty twos

647
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: I've ever done, because I look legitimately drew it up

648
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 1: like that. It's fun. See he's on pro again. No, come,

649
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: you know what, I'll do a little glory day thing.

650
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 1: You know why it really was fun for me that

651
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 1: one thing two years ago, um, because it reminded me

652
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: of high school. So when we would um, when we

653
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: were playing a team on Fridays, you know we get

654
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: a test, yeah, and so I would always love drawing

655
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: the plays on the test. Nice. So it reminded me

656
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 1: of taking the tests. And because I would always ace them.

657
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: Oh okay, this is why I was like for whatever reason,

658
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: and I don't know, I was the left guard, but

659
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: I would always make the O line calls because I

660
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 1: always know what was going on. I could see right now,

661
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: you were there wherever you're talking about, you were there

662
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: right now. Really totally I'm in the locker room like

663
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: everybody's around, we're about to go eat pasta. We're here though,

664
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: I know I'll take I'll take, I'll take that back

665
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: out of my mind. But um. Moreover, on the passing game, UM,

666
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: one thing that stood out to me was that you

667
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: had got you had four receivers with over fifty yards.

668
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Sammy Watkins five for fifty eight. Girl,

669
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 1: we already mentioned him five for fifty six, Cooper Cup

670
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 1: four for seventy six, and then Robert Woods three for

671
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: fifty three. Look that to me says a lot about

672
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: the way Jared was distributing the ball. And he also

673
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: had tight end Gerald Everett. Want to mention this with

674
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: his thirty nine yard reception, and so that means you're

675
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: you got five guys with the reception of at least

676
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 1: twenty yards. And I believe that was Bostick the linebacker.

677
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 1: He beat every Yeah, one of the faster linebackers in

678
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 1: the league. Yeah, you might not find a faster guy.

679
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: And he absolutely left from him the dusk. Yeah. Yeah,

680
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: we talked about Everett being a matchup. Problem is well

681
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 1: that stage number one. Yeah, the problem is now everybody

682
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: saw it so you're gonna have to account for it,

683
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 1: which helps the offense. It might not help him, but

684
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: it might help the offense because now you have to

685
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: worry about that and think about what Cooper cups numbers

686
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: would be had he caught that one across the Yeah, yeah,

687
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: he would probably be over a hundred. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

688
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: You would have gotten running tremendous and watching him run routes,

689
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: you could teach off him because if you're a safety

690
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 1: or a corner that's directly over the top and he's

691
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: running right at you, he's telling you nothing about where

692
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: he's going until he does it. That is the mark

693
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 1: of a great receiver. Some guys telegraph, and I think

694
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: Goff does a good job of kind of keeping it

695
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: hidden where he wants to go with the football when

696
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 1: he has time. So sometimes the best you as a defender,

697
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: you have no chance. I can't tell what he's doing,

698
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: and I can't tell what the quarterbacks doing, and then boom,

699
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: it's in the end zone. Yeah, and that's I think

700
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 1: what happened Internet get pressure right, right, Yeah, I think

701
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: that's what happened on that touchdown, because if you look

702
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: at it on that all twenty two film, Especially from

703
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: the end zone angle, you can really see he's just

704
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: using his shoulders, he's just making a move and then

705
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 1: all of a sudden it's boomed. It's subtle. Yeah, yeah,

706
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 1: I mean it looks really hard to defend. What I

707
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 1: would love to see is where his eyes are, what

708
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: he's looking at, and what he's what sort of read

709
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: he's given that defender because he's always going to be

710
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 1: a step ahead on breaks and they're always a step behind. Yeah. Yeah,

711
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: and that's not because he's the fastest or quickest guy.

712
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,240
Speaker 1: It's just how he's doing it. I'd love to watch

713
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,919
Speaker 1: his eyes. But I mean, you can't see it. No, yeah,

714
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: you can't, but you're you're closer to it than I am.

715
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 1: When you're on the he's got a helmet on and

716
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 1: he's way over there. Yeah I can't see that, but

717
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 1: it's fun. Bring bnoculars on the sideline. Is that weird?

718
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,359
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, and monoculars on the sideline, would

719
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: that be weird? Oh okay, it might be. It might

720
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: look like you're trying to like see somebody in the crowd. Well,

721
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 1: there's cameras down there. Yeah, I guess I could bring

722
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: a you know, yeah, assistance look, yeah, something, I'm just kidding.

723
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know why you would do that, um,

724
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: but that would be interesting, just kidding, Sammy Watkins. Wow

725
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:12,439
Speaker 1: does he Does he make a difference? Yes? Oh my god,

726
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 1: does he make a difference? Yeah? Yeah, Um, just the

727
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: little things, the the You have to respect him as

728
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 1: a receiver. And when I mean respect him, you have

729
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 1: to respect every route on the route tree. So if

730
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 1: you even think that this guy is getting ready to

731
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:28,959
Speaker 1: run past you, you have to honor it, which means

732
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: everything underneath is going to be open. Yes, yeah, So

733
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: just those little things moving the ball through the air, um,

734
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 1: picking up easy first downs on first down, stuff that

735
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 1: other teams seem to get that you didn't get in

736
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 1: years past. He makes a huge difference. Yeah. Yeah. And

737
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 1: that's the great thing about him to me is that

738
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 1: when he catches the ball, he's not just looking to

739
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: get out of bounds, right. He can run through yeah yeah,

740
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: every single play because if you miss a tackle, he's

741
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: got the breakaway speech to go down the field. And

742
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: so the other thing is if you just want to

743
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: tackle him with one guy, yeah, yeah, you're not going

744
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: to be able to because He is that big, physical

745
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:12,760
Speaker 1: type receiver that can pull guys across the down marker

746
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: to get a first down or run away from you. Yes. Yeah,

747
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,760
Speaker 1: if you're out of position, like I'll give you. For instance,

748
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: Moe Alexander just made a little booboo, got his head

749
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: caught inside, and then now he's got to travel thirteen

750
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 1: yards to tackle a guy in space. Yeah, this is

751
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: the NFL. Probably not going to happen. That guy is

752
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,240
Speaker 1: gonna make you miss. Well, same thing with a Sammy

753
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: Watkins if you're out of position by an Iota and

754
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 1: he can get through that arm tackle. Now he's at

755
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 1: full speed in the middle of the field and outside

756
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 1: of Tremaine Johnson. Have you seen a corner the size

757
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: of Sammy Watkins. No, in the open field, he's got

758
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 1: the advantage. Yeah. So as long as that stuff keeps

759
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: progressing and you get you get protection, and you can

760
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 1: get the ball out, he's going to start to turn

761
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: those little ones in the big ones. Yeah. Were you

762
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,280
Speaker 1: surprised that he was involved as he was on Sunday

763
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 1: at all? A little, but not very much because of

764
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:06,399
Speaker 1: the route combinations and the play that was called. Yeah,

765
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:09,319
Speaker 1: we they it seemed like they call that play just

766
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 1: for him. So these are your plays. Know this, learn this,

767
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 1: study this when you see this. This is where we're

768
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 1: going now to integrate him in the offense more throwing

769
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 1: off play action. That's where the big plays will come.

770
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: But if you can get the routine plays out of Sammy,

771
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 1: your offense is going to be measurably better on Sundays anyway. Absolutely,

772
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: that's for sure. Um. So one guy that I think

773
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 1: we should spend a little bit of time on, here's

774
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 1: Tavon Austin, because some folks have asked on Twitter and

775
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:39,800
Speaker 1: in different places like Okay, tam and Austin got seven snaps.

776
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,240
Speaker 1: What does that mean for him going forward in this offense?

777
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 1: I think he'll get more. I think so too. I

778
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:47,880
Speaker 1: think he's going to get more. Um. Look, it's going

779
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: to be specific to who you're playing and what you've

780
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 1: been doing, right, um, but you can tell he's going

781
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: to be a major part of this offense. And you

782
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 1: can tell that defenses still respect his speed. Yeah, yeah,

783
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 1: because you get the desired look and result from whatever

784
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,359
Speaker 1: play you try to run with him, or if he's

785
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: in motion on a decoy, you get the result. So

786
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,359
Speaker 1: they're still buying it. That's going to help you as

787
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator. Yeah, that's going to help the offense move. Yes,

788
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 1: I think so too. Look, I mean part of it too,

789
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: I think is that the Ram's got out to an

790
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: early lead. You don't need to necessarily show everything. If

791
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: you're up what twenty seven to three or whatever it was,

792
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: and then thirty to three in the third quarter. With

793
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 1: a guy like Tavon Austin who can really do some

794
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: special stuff, why reveal that at that point in the game.

795
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:37,839
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? I would bet the play

796
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: is that he scores on or it's going to be

797
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 1: the first time you've seen that play. Yes, yeah, I

798
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 1: mean maybe not the formation, maybe not what he does

799
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 1: pre snap, but once the ball is snapped, when he

800
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: gets it and he puts it in the end zone,

801
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: that will probably be the first time that we've seen

802
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 1: it and they've seen it. Yeah, And that's one of

803
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,320
Speaker 1: the things that Sean McVay can do very very well.

804
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,320
Speaker 1: Why is somebody opening the store right now? Oh you

805
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: should see the on his face too. Who just did that?

806
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,959
Speaker 1: I'm not even I'm oh my goodness, I'm not a snitch.

807
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 1: If you did this? Oh my god, look, my producer,

808
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 1: my producer that right now is reading a snap. Because

809
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: here's here's the thing. We'll take you guys behind the curtain, Like, look,

810
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 1: we've got there's an on air light on the door.

811
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: Above the door, there's a do not enter sign on

812
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,359
Speaker 1: the door. What in the world do we have to

813
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: do in order for people to respect? But now you

814
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 1: know that is a false start right there. Yeah, yeah,

815
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 1: oh my god, I just told you the snap coot. Wow,

816
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 1: I remember that's another thing from um this is I'll

817
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: tell this story. This is not even that great of

818
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 1: a story. But so when we're in high school, you know,

819
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: you're in practice and all the time, like you get

820
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: the snap coout. I don't know, it's on the collar,

821
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,359
Speaker 1: it's on one whatever. So we go to the line

822
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 1: and then it's like check check, and so then we'd

823
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: have different words like conta for on the collar. Um,

824
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: I don't remember what the first sound was, but it

825
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,320
Speaker 1: was something that began with an F like okay, something

826
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, right. So we're like one of our

827
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 1: quarterbacks one day, we were trying to switch things up

828
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,839
Speaker 1: a little bit because the defense obviously would know if

829
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 1: you're on the same team, Like, if you say check check,

830
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:09,800
Speaker 1: what's them? Yeah, So we go to the line things

831
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 1: on the first sound, somebody says check check. Quarterback says

832
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: Phoenix Phoenix. Phoenix does not begin with anough okay franetically.

833
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: When I turn around, was like, dude, what pho Okay? Right, yeah,

834
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 1: I got you. Anyway, there's there's our glory days for

835
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 1: you for today, all right, So let's turn it to

836
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 1: this week. Washington is coming into town, a team that

837
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 1: Sean mcvayh obviously knows very very well. What kind of

838
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 1: advantages do you think he's got this week? Pretty much

839
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: what you just said. There's gonna be some terminology things,

840
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 1: um that there that are going to be familiar to

841
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 1: him that maybe he'll pass down to, say a Waite Phillips.

842
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 1: You know, if you hear this, it might mean that. Now,

843
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: remember you all like baseball, Um, once you get the signals,

844
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 1: you have to also account for those things being changed

845
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: right during the week, because they also know that he

846
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,399
Speaker 1: knows the signals too. So there's gonna be some things,

847
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: some technique things that he can probably help and shed

848
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: light on to help the defense be better. Those things

849
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:18,320
Speaker 1: are kind of overblown for me, really yeah, because you

850
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 1: still have to execute right. You still have to go

851
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: out and play, and you have to stay ahead of

852
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: the chains or not make mistakes that that hurt yourself.

853
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 1: So you also have to compete with yourself as an offense.

854
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 1: But some of it's gonna help. Some of it's just

855
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 1: way overblowne okay. I think because every team switches every year,

856
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 1: well one of If there's one aspect of this that

857
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:43,879
Speaker 1: I think McVay maybe does have an advantage on, it's

858
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:48,360
Speaker 1: knowing Kirk Cousins true, you know, and knowing basically the strengths,

859
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: the weaknesses, everything, because he's coached Cousins for the last

860
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 1: few years, and Cousins has said that he credits McVeigh

861
00:41:56,200 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 1: with a lot of his development. So I don't necessary

862
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that like mcveigh's all of a sudden

863
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 1: going to be some kind of wizard and everything Kirk

864
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 1: Cousins is going to try to do will be wrong.

865
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: I don't think that's going to happen. But I think

866
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 1: there is some knowledge there that McVay can make pass

867
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 1: on to Phillips and say, hey, if you do this,

868
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: this might give him a little bit of trouble this

869
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 1: he doesn't like or he didn't like when I was

870
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 1: with him. Now he could also get better. Like I said,

871
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins knows that he knows, yes, so there are

872
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 1: things that he's going to work on. But yeah, obviously

873
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 1: there there are notes that you make as a coach

874
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: and as a player that you probably don't tell your coach,

875
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 1: Like I don't like it when he calls that play.

876
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: I'm not going to tell him that I'm gonna try

877
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 1: to run the dang thing. Or I might as a

878
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 1: coach say he can't make that throw. Write that down

879
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 1: in my notes, but I'm not going to pass that

880
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: on to my player because I'm trying to pump him up.

881
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:48,880
Speaker 1: So there's there are some things that you can definitely

882
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 1: pass on. I can tell you, I can guarantee you

883
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 1: this is what he knows. He knows about Ryan Kerrigan.

884
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 1: He knows what's coming the other directions, exactly what I

885
00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 1: was going to ask, and how this guy can make plays.

886
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,840
Speaker 1: So have a plan for him, and how smart this

887
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:04,799
Speaker 1: guy is. You won't be able to get the ball

888
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 1: around him on some sort of misdirection play action because

889
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 1: he won't buy it. No one else has right, So

890
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 1: that stuff he knows already, so the plan will be

891
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 1: tailored to that. But yeah, there's there's gonna be some

892
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 1: inside stuff. So maybe fifteen percent of the plays you

893
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 1: could say, if the Rams make a play here or there,

894
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 1: you can attribute to him being in Washington. But for

895
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,399
Speaker 1: the most part, it's going to be another football game. Well,

896
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 1: I think that's part of it. You. McVay talked about

897
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: the emotional aspects of things on Monday at his Monday

898
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,359
Speaker 1: press conference, and he was saying, you know, of course

899
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 1: there's a lot that Jay Gruden has taught him, you know,

900
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 1: from working under him, not just there, but with that

901
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 1: Florida UFL team that is either the it's not the Panthers,

902
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 1: I think it's the Tuskers or something. I don't know,

903
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:50,320
Speaker 1: but we work together, yeah, the Tuskers, Okay, yeah, but

904
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 1: they work together. And obviously the Grudens have been huge

905
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 1: mentors for Sean mcfay. So yes, there is sort of

906
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,439
Speaker 1: this emotional aspect of things. But once the ball gets

907
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 1: kicked off on Sunday, McVeigh said, make no mistake, Look,

908
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 1: we're coming after him. We're going to win. Absolutely try

909
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 1: to win. When guys get cut and no matter how

910
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 1: much they love you, they take the playbook immediately. Yeah, yeah,

911
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:16,240
Speaker 1: so I'm sure as soon as Sean McVay left the building,

912
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 1: you know, they cut ties football wise, right, Yeah, it's

913
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 1: it's all competition, but just that handshake when you when

914
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:25,839
Speaker 1: you meet your mentor, or when you have a chance

915
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 1: to play against the guy you've worked for or a

916
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 1: team that you've played for, it's always you put a

917
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 1: little more on it. And I'm sure that's going to

918
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 1: filter down to the players. I think so too. It's

919
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 1: something that you probably can't really avoid just because of

920
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:39,919
Speaker 1: the way. Look, these guys really seem to enjoy playing

921
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 1: for Sean McVeigh. I mean, you look at it last

922
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: week when they give him that water bath at the

923
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 1: end of the game like that, I think says something

924
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:48,800
Speaker 1: about the way this team has rallied around him. And

925
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 1: I fought all day that day. I only gave it

926
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:53,879
Speaker 1: one day. The rest of Sunday. I fought all day

927
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 1: with all my old head friends. Why oh, a gatorade

928
00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:00,879
Speaker 1: bath after a week one win? One the only team

929
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 1: that did that, right? But what my response was, why not? Yeah, yeah,

930
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:08,839
Speaker 1: why not? What's wrong with it? We won? They're having

931
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: the first game ever that he's coached. You know, yeah,

932
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 1: I understand that. When the one I saw that, I

933
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 1: was kind of like, huh was Doug Peterson got one?

934
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 1: After beating that? That's on them whatever they want to do, right,

935
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 1: Just why why from every everybody that's been here, from

936
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 1: more and let's let's say more than three years. Yeah, um,

937
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:29,800
Speaker 1: going from last year to this year and then getting

938
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:33,359
Speaker 1: to win like that Week one at home? Why not something? Yeah,

939
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:36,839
Speaker 1: this game is supposed to be fun. Yeah. Yeah, Um

940
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:41,800
Speaker 1: so anyone else that scares you there on Washington besides everybody,

941
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:46,359
Speaker 1: I'm always nervous. Um. They have an offensive guard, Brandon Turf,

942
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 1: who's not like what you saw out of Endy. This

943
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 1: is the real deal. Um, So inside push is going

944
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: to be a little bit tougher. Their offensive line as

945
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,879
Speaker 1: a whole might be one the best in the NFC.

946
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 1: They're they're real big guys and they're fish huge. Um

947
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:10,279
Speaker 1: so let's just say this is your stiffest test to

948
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: date for this defense. Yeah, offensive line, well, the Raiders

949
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 1: brought it, but it was preseason and you always saw

950
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,759
Speaker 1: them for a limited number of snaps. Yeah, this is

951
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 1: going to be your first offensive line that's coming at

952
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 1: you for four quarters and they take no prisoners. So yeah,

953
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to really really strap it up on

954
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,839
Speaker 1: the run this week. Yeah, I think so too. Um.

955
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 1: One guy that stood out to me on films Chris Thompson,

956
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 1: one of their running backs, and he seems to be yeah, yeah,

957
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:37,760
Speaker 1: quick guy. He doesn't go down easily, and he's somebody

958
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 1: that it seems to me that they use him out

959
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 1: of the backfield and certain packages. They want to get

960
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 1: him in space and he can make things happen when

961
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:47,839
Speaker 1: the ball hand Another guy like Frank Gore. Um, you'll

962
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:50,759
Speaker 1: see if you slow it down. Whenever these guys make

963
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 1: contact with the first defender, their knees are always bent.

964
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 1: You rarely catch them straight legged. Yeah, some guys you

965
00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:59,239
Speaker 1: catch straight leg because they're all quickness and all this

966
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:01,360
Speaker 1: sort of stuff, and they shy away from contact. But

967
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 1: guys like Gore and the guy you're gonna see this week,

968
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 1: they don't shy away from contact. They do a good

969
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 1: job of running through contact. So you're gonna have to

970
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 1: bring the arms and the legs and really really really

971
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 1: be dialed in on your tackling because at some point, again,

972
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 1: this is the NFL. You're going to be a safety

973
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 1: or a linebacker free in the hole with a back

974
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:27,960
Speaker 1: and you can't miss, right, And these guys are built

975
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 1: to break tackles. Even Gore, like we said, was a

976
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:32,839
Speaker 1: non factor, but some of his plays he did break

977
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,320
Speaker 1: some tackles. He did got the field. Yeah. Yeah, but

978
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 1: I mean when you I think part of it too

979
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 1: is going to be okay, can the Rams go up

980
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 1: again and then force Kirk Cousins to have to make

981
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:44,320
Speaker 1: a bunch of throws and make a bunch of plays.

982
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 1: Watching that game last week in Philadelphia, I was sort

983
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 1: of surprised by what really I was sort of a

984
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:53,320
Speaker 1: lack of ball security by him because he was stripped

985
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 1: early in the game and they got some points off

986
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 1: of bad in Philadelphia, and then late in the game,

987
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:00,320
Speaker 1: I mean, they had a chance to go down the

988
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:03,839
Speaker 1: field and win and then he gets strip strips backed again.

989
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 1: Cox runs into the end zone. Boom, it's ball game,

990
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:08,360
Speaker 1: and it's it was a fumble. I thought it was

991
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:11,080
Speaker 1: a fumble too. It's a fumble. Yeah, that's the way

992
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 1: I saw it. But yeah, I mean, look, maybe they

993
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:16,239
Speaker 1: put more on his shoulders. Um. It's funny. I saw

994
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 1: similar um Colin Kaepernick had a great season and then

995
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:22,879
Speaker 1: the next year they turned the offense over to him

996
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:27,759
Speaker 1: and he started to make mistakes like oor. Bad things

997
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: started to happen like that, like stuff in the pocket.

998
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:32,440
Speaker 1: So it could be the same with Kirk Cousins. If

999
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 1: you want that big contract, it's all on you. Yeah,

1000
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:38,360
Speaker 1: makes some magic happen, and maybe he's pressing a little bit,

1001
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 1: but you'd have to think from week one in a

1002
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:42,480
Speaker 1: week two he's going to be better as well. Yeah, yeah,

1003
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 1: but getting the ball out and that's one thing I

1004
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 1: remember when I told you it was a big something

1005
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:49,760
Speaker 1: stuck in my craws. If the quarterback gets the ball stripped,

1006
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 1: it's not his mistake. Oh yes, yeah, it's a great

1007
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 1: play by the defender. Right. Yeah, it's being stripped out

1008
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 1: of his hand. That's not a mistake. That's being ripped out, right.

1009
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 1: But in some ways, I mean, that's still a ball.

1010
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 1: Is it not a ball security issue? If the ball

1011
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 1: gets stripped, it is, it is. But he's in the

1012
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:12,879
Speaker 1: pocket and he's a quarterback and the ball is being

1013
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 1: ripped out of your hands. I'm not saying, don't credit it.

1014
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:18,440
Speaker 1: Why Hilton getting the ball punched out. That's your part. Yeah,

1015
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:20,839
Speaker 1: quarterbacks getting the ball ripped out in the pocket? Come on, now,

1016
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 1: that's that's a great defensive play. I agree that it

1017
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 1: is a great defensive play. But there's sometimes where you

1018
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:28,799
Speaker 1: either step up in the pocket, you bring the ball down,

1019
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:31,919
Speaker 1: you protect yourself. True. That that, I think is where

1020
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:34,319
Speaker 1: it comes into play where people are saying, oh, it's

1021
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 1: a mistake if you pull it down and you're running

1022
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:38,280
Speaker 1: and you're protecting it and then the ball comes out, mistake.

1023
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:40,399
Speaker 1: But if you're in there and you're trying to set

1024
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 1: the throw and it gets ripped out, come on, you

1025
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:44,279
Speaker 1: never even saw the guy. That's fair. Yeah all right, Um,

1026
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 1: one other guy or I want to talk about actually two, Um,

1027
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 1: Jordan Reid tight end and people say, you know, people

1028
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:55,520
Speaker 1: made that compete well, and Joe LeVert came out in

1029
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:58,280
Speaker 1: the draft and the race selected him. There people will said, Okay,

1030
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 1: this is Nick Day's new Jordan Reid. Jordan Reid is

1031
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 1: a fantastic player. He's a matchup nightmare boy. Is somebody

1032
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 1: that the Rams safeties and linebackers are going to have

1033
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 1: to deal with. And whether he's got this sort of

1034
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:14,440
Speaker 1: foot injury or not, he's still a significant offensive threat.

1035
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:18,680
Speaker 1: He can beat you. Yeah, the guy last week, good

1036
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:23,800
Speaker 1: tight end Jack Doyle can hurt you. Reid can beat you, Okay, period,

1037
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:25,840
Speaker 1: end of story. That's how good he is. When you

1038
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 1: face tight ends like that, I hate even call him

1039
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:31,480
Speaker 1: just tight ends. Their afforts, Yeah, their mismatches is what

1040
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 1: they are. They can get the ball down the field,

1041
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:35,880
Speaker 1: they can get open, they can catch it, they can

1042
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 1: run after the catch, they can score with it, their

1043
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 1: red zone nightmares. They're guys that can beat you. So

1044
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:43,879
Speaker 1: this will be like you said, all hands on deck,

1045
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:46,440
Speaker 1: trying to keep this guy under wraps. And then Terrell

1046
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:49,560
Speaker 1: Prior another guy. He's another He's a new wide receiver

1047
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 1: for Washington after they lost Sean Jackson and Pierre Garson

1048
00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 1: in free agencies. So he's they're pretty much their number

1049
00:50:57,040 --> 00:51:00,600
Speaker 1: one wide receiver target. Last week, it's still looked from

1050
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 1: my view of the film, it looked like he and

1051
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins are still sort of getting on the same page,

1052
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:08,239
Speaker 1: establishing their chemistry. But he is a really tall guy.

1053
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:10,359
Speaker 1: He's a lanky guy. I don't want to say lanky,

1054
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:13,360
Speaker 1: because he's got he's got he's built up, but he's

1055
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:15,719
Speaker 1: got it's got a lot of length, I should say, yeah, Um,

1056
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:18,480
Speaker 1: and he can beat you over the top. He's dynamic.

1057
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:22,399
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, it's yeah. For Kirk Cousins, Um, it's easy

1058
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 1: to find him down the field, short route, deep route.

1059
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:27,200
Speaker 1: Like you said, he's so big, he's so tall. Um.

1060
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 1: The thing I like, and I have nothing but respect

1061
00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 1: for him to to make a position change in the

1062
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 1: National Football League and become one of the better receivers

1063
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:38,440
Speaker 1: at that position. I mean, you just don't see that often. Um.

1064
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 1: But he's tough. Um, he's used to contact. He's not

1065
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:45,520
Speaker 1: going to shy away from contact, so he'll block, he'll

1066
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:48,840
Speaker 1: catch it in traffic, drop his shoulder, um, and deliver

1067
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:52,239
Speaker 1: a shot. Um. You know, didn't have the greatest of

1068
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 1: weeks last week. But I mean I think that's that

1069
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 1: can be said for a lot of people in Redskins uniforms.

1070
00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:00,239
Speaker 1: But you would expect the bounce about a week. The

1071
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:02,160
Speaker 1: toughest week you're ever going to suffer through is a

1072
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:05,759
Speaker 1: losing week in the NFL. Nothing galvanizes a team more

1073
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:08,360
Speaker 1: than a loss. So I wouldn't look at last week's

1074
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:10,719
Speaker 1: film and says, this is who they are. Yeah, that's

1075
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:12,719
Speaker 1: who they were. Who they're going to be is what

1076
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:14,920
Speaker 1: you're going to see Sunday. Well, that's one thing I

1077
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 1: think we can say about a lot of the NFL. Right,

1078
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:20,560
Speaker 1: what's real? What's a mirage from week one? And this

1079
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:24,160
Speaker 1: comes up seemingly every single year, right, I Mean, you

1080
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:28,360
Speaker 1: had teams that played San Francisco in the second Monday

1081
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:30,600
Speaker 1: night game and got crushed two years in a row,

1082
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 1: and then they come back, and then they bounce back,

1083
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:34,439
Speaker 1: and then they win a few games. I'm talking about

1084
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:36,960
Speaker 1: Minnesota and then obviously I'm talking about the La Rams

1085
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:41,480
Speaker 1: last year. But what do you think is real from

1086
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 1: last week? For the Rams? Great question. LaMarcus Joiner the

1087
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:50,319
Speaker 1: way he's playing, Yeah, the way he's all over the field,

1088
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:54,400
Speaker 1: that's real. Tremaine Johnson, the way he competes against the

1089
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:58,400
Speaker 1: top receivers in the league, I know that's real. Michael

1090
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:01,360
Speaker 1: Brocker's the way he's playing, that's real. Um Andrew Whitworth

1091
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:04,080
Speaker 1: just being an eraser. I don't care who it is. Um,

1092
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 1: even if you've got a Ryan Carrigan, if they do

1093
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:12,359
Speaker 1: actually wind up bumping heads at some point, He's one

1094
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:15,160
Speaker 1: of the best tackles in the league, has been m

1095
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:17,520
Speaker 1: I believe that's real. I believe the way Goff moves

1096
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 1: the football and his ability to run this offense is real. Um,

1097
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:23,840
Speaker 1: there's some things that have to get better. Maybe the

1098
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:27,319
Speaker 1: false starts, I think that stuff will be cleaned up.

1099
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:30,800
Speaker 1: And just watching how they practice and how they attack

1100
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 1: problems like that, yes, and how they're unacceptable. I don't

1101
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:39,640
Speaker 1: think that's real. Yeah, yeah, Yeah, Johnny Hacker is definitely real. Yeah. Yeah,

1102
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 1: that's that's always going to be a compot. Five punts

1103
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:45,759
Speaker 1: inside the twenty tent, three of which were inside the ten,

1104
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 1: and he had five punts? Are you kidding? That's incredible.

1105
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:51,959
Speaker 1: He might be the best weapon in the game. Now, okay,

1106
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:54,759
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, he might be the best weapon in the game.

1107
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:57,280
Speaker 1: I mean, don't you think that was significant? Bill Belichick,

1108
00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:00,480
Speaker 1: who does more football than most people living order. He

1109
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:02,920
Speaker 1: is the reason why the Rams were able to have

1110
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:05,800
Speaker 1: that opportunity for Corey Little to strip the ball and

1111
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:08,839
Speaker 1: Morgan Fox to touchdown Jacoby Brissette for the safety because

1112
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 1: of that flips field position. Yeah. In a blink, Um,

1113
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:16,239
Speaker 1: so bad offense becomes because of where he just put

1114
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 1: the ball. Yeah, he's amazing, So I know that is real. Um,

1115
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 1: as sure as this chair we're sitting on, that's gonna

1116
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:25,560
Speaker 1: happen for a long time. Um, I'm trying to think

1117
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:31,680
Speaker 1: what's what might be a mirage? Um politely as bad

1118
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:35,960
Speaker 1: as Indie played on offense, especially at quarterback. Yeah, I

1119
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:39,399
Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna I don't think it's that bad.

1120
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:42,959
Speaker 1: It can't be that Yeah, I'll just leave it there. Okay,

1121
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:46,239
Speaker 1: Yeah that's fair. Yeah, all right, cool. So before we

1122
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:50,680
Speaker 1: get out of here anymore parting shots. Um, yeah, go

1123
00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:53,680

1124
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:55,759
Speaker 1: to test yourself a little bit more. No, I do not.

1125
00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:59,120
Speaker 1: I don't play video. I am stressed out enough during

1126
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:01,200
Speaker 1: the day. You know how high strung I am. I

1127
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:04,239
Speaker 1: played that. You need to play game. I played, Yeah,

1128
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:07,960
Speaker 1: to wind down, not to stress myself out anymore than

1129
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 1: I already am. Take it slow, play all madd and

Speaker 1: I gotta get all pro first. We don't need it.

1133
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:20,000
