1 00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:07,400 Speaker 1: From the Rams studio connected by AT and T. Welcome 2 00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:09,959 Speaker 1: to Between the Horns. I'm Miles Simmons. I'm here with 3 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: DeMarco far It is Wednesday, October eleventh, and the Rams 4 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,599 Speaker 1: are now three and two after losing to the Seattle 5 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 1: Seahawks sixteen to ten. So to start this off, d 6 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 1: I want to go back to the end of last 7 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,319 Speaker 1: week's show and what you said when I ask you 8 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 1: what is the single most important things the Rams have 9 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 1: to do to beat the Seattle Seahawks, And you said, 10 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 1: don't turn the ball over? Yeah, you said, And you said, 11 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,160 Speaker 1: I think that. I think that's one of the things 12 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 1: that will kill you versus Seattle is turnovers. And what 13 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,160 Speaker 1: did the Rams do turn the ball over five times? Well, 14 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: they're a championship team. I mean they're a playoff team. 15 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 1: I mean they're Super Bowl contenders every single year, especially 16 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: on defense. So if they start getting takeaways, not only 17 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: does it hurt you offensively and hurt your whole effort 18 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: towards winning, it just gives them life. It gives them motivation. 19 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: That's what they preach. Pete Carroll preaches take the ball away. 20 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 1: He wants to possess it. So when you start to 21 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: give him the football and you make good on his promises, 22 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: then you're gonna be playing sky high. So all they 23 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,119 Speaker 1: need at that point is a lead, and they're gonna 24 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 1: sit on you. That's exactly what they did. It is 25 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: exactly what they did. So five giveaways for the Rams. 26 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 1: It was like, you know, you're singing red hot Chili Peppers, 27 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,119 Speaker 1: give it away, give it away, give it away now. 28 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 1: Nothing no reaction from you on that at all. I'm 29 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: hoping you never do that again. Okay, I won't do 30 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:32,119 Speaker 1: it again. So well the Chili Peppers anyway. Five giveaways 31 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:36,119 Speaker 1: for the Rams though, Goff two interceptions, one fumble. Gurley 32 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: had that fumble at the beginning of the game, which 33 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 1: was critical, and then Taylon Austin two muff punts, one 34 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: recovered by the opposition, And McVay said this after the game. Look, 35 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: anytime that you give the ball away five times, you're 36 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: going to put yourself in a real tough position. You 37 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: should lose. You really really ought to lose. Well, I 38 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: mean there's I know where we're going. There's always a 39 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: silver lining because you've taken shots at the end zone 40 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: to win the game. Yes, yeah, So you're good enough 41 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: to overcome five takeaways. Now that's not going to be 42 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 1: the norm. I mean, look what happened to Pittsburgh and 43 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger against Jacksonville. Yeah, look they got steamrolled. That's 44 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: what happens with takeaways. One can do that to you. 45 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: So imagine multiple takeaways and from multiple ways varieties, A 46 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: fumble like you said, a pick and then a special 47 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: team's turnover. It's just inexcusable stuff you cannot have if 48 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: you expect to win football games against or beat anybody, 49 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: let alone a team like the Seahawks. Well, credit to 50 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: the defense, because the Rams still were in position to 51 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: win and conceivably should have won that game if Cooper 52 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: cup can pull that ball in that he does get 53 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: his hands on. So even though you gave the ball 54 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: away five to right, yes, yes, if you miss, if 55 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: you make that field goal, it also does everything because 56 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: you're going for another field goal instead of to tie 57 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:57,959 Speaker 1: it right, instead of having to try to win it 58 00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 1: at the end. There that's the frustrating part. I mean, 59 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: I've been there as a player and right now as 60 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: a broadcaster. Going back and watching that game is painful. 61 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: I mean, you have to break it up because you 62 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: get so upset because when you turn on the defensive 63 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: side or the offensive side, all you see is one 64 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: team beating the other. The Rams at absolutely took it 65 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: to that Seattle defense early. They did. They couldn't stop you. 66 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 1: I mean, you had them on their heels, and you 67 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: don't see that Seahawk defense reacting to plays like that ever. 68 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: And then on the defensive side, you all you see 69 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 1: is wins across the board. You see guys out there, 70 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 1: you know, having great games, playing great games, Russell Wilson 71 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: pulling rabbits out of his hat or someplace else to 72 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: make plays. But I mean, you got what you wanted defensively. 73 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: So if you're just looking at the film and forgot 74 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: about the score, you would probably say the Rams with 75 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: the better team that day, Well, Seattle just got away 76 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: with the victory. Yes, And if you look at the numbers, 77 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: I mean you look at the final team stats, Seahawks 78 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: fifteen first downs, Rams twenty one. All right, you know, 79 00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: yards total offensive yards Seahawks two forty one, Rams seventy five, 80 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: right yards per play three point seven to five point three, 81 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: rushing yards sixty two to one hundred, passing yards one 82 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: hundred ninety eight to two eighty. All of these things 83 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: you put it together and you're like, the Rams really 84 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 1: did have winning numbers from that game. But when you 85 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: look away, the only one that matters, Yes, yeah, the point, 86 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,919 Speaker 1: the points and giveaways. Yeah, you have five giveaways to 87 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: two and you have sixteen points to ten. And that's 88 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: where this thing goes into the biggest number wins loss. 89 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 1: And now the Rams and Seahawks are tied at the 90 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: top of the division with a three and two records. 91 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 1: I would assume that the Rams are going to play 92 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: angry because you have every right to be. Yeah, it's 93 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 1: not like you got beat by a better football team. 94 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: You helped them beat you. You helped yourself to lose. 95 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: So I would expect on Sunday they're going to play 96 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: ultra aggressive. Just as long as you play within the rules. 97 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 1: It's human nature to want to get some get back. 98 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 1: It's funny how when you lose games like this, injuries 99 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: don't hurt as bad. What do you mean, It just 100 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: doesn't hurt as much because you're still smart and off. 101 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: Beating yourself every game takes years off your life or 102 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 1: time off your life. It's brutal. It absolutely is. That's 103 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 1: a true state, and you're going to be sore when 104 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 1: or lose. But when you have a game like that 105 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,559 Speaker 1: to where you felt like you let one get away, 106 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: the bruises, the ooeis, and the alleys don't hurt as bad. 107 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: You can't wait to get to next Sunday to just 108 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: get that feeling out of your system. There's nowhere else 109 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 1: to go with it. Um. I can tell you a 110 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 1: story like learning how to win and losing this game. UM, 111 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: being a young kid losing a game in high school 112 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: and being upset with my performance, getting into a car 113 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: vividly remember this and punching the windshield and cracking it. 114 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: Whoa yeah, the minute win shield and cracked it. I 115 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 1: felt stupid. How dumb was that? Wow? Right? But that's 116 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: the frustration you feel. But it was the right feeling. 117 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: What I did with it was wrong? Right? Do you 118 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,359 Speaker 1: have to bring that back to practice. You have to 119 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: bring that back to prep. You have to bring that 120 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 1: to next Sunday. So that's what all these guys, coaches 121 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: and players are going through right now when you let 122 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: one like that get away, But you have to channel 123 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: it in the right direction. What did mom say, win? 124 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: See that's the dumb thing, right, Yeah, well I can't 125 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: pay for this window. Mom's gonna have to pay for 126 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: this window. So what happened when it was stupid? When 127 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: I got home it was stupid. I was appropriately punished 128 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 1: when I got home us. It sounded like a good 129 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: idea at the time, and it wasn't unintended benefit. It 130 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: became legendary because I was the kid who cracked this 131 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: one Jill because he lost, so people knew my car. 132 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 1: Yeah it was one of those. But how dumb was that? 133 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: Like I said, passion right, we lost. I was not 134 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 1: happy about it, but redirect that into getting better. That's 135 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 1: what you have to remember. So you're going to play 136 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: angry on Sunday, guaranteed, but you have to play angry 137 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: and under control or Jacksonville is going to jump on you. 138 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: Right in Jacksonville, I think has done a really good 139 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 1: job of playing within their scheme and playing within what 140 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 1: play within themselves. You know what I mean. You know, 141 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: they're a running team that plays really good defense. Right now, 142 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: we'll talk more about them as the show goes on, 143 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: but I do want to go into what do you 144 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: think was the biggest issue for the Rams offensively because 145 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: again they moved the ball, but they just weren't finishing well. Look, 146 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: you could go all the way back to I don't 147 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: want to say gaff. I want to give Seattle credit 148 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: for the play they made, but the touchback, I mean, 149 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: you're you opened up a whole can on him on 150 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: that first drive and you move the ball right down 151 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: the field. Yes, you had them looking at you like that, 152 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: can't be the Rams doing this. Maybe some doubt was 153 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: creeping in on that side, but you didn't get the 154 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: points out of it, so you gave them life. So 155 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: it's just it was one of those weird games. We 156 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: talked about how much have we gushed about Andrew Witworth 157 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: and I'm still gushing about Andrew Wood. Yeah, the one 158 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: time he varies his set a little bit against the 159 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: guy he was dominating, he gets the edge, gets the 160 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: ball out and that almost killed you or did kill you. 161 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: It kind of did it kind of did kill you. 162 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: So it's just one of those weird moments. The guy 163 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,119 Speaker 1: that fumbled it away was also the guy that scored 164 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: the touchdown two plays earlier. It's just a weird day. So, um, 165 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: there's some good things and bad things that you could 166 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: critique off tape, but I think you did enough to win. 167 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: They just made a few more plays than you did. Yes, yeah, 168 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: in key moments, and I think that's the biggest difference, 169 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: the key moments. So that that Girly fumble, that to me, 170 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: you know, you you see it, You see the ball 171 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,439 Speaker 1: hit the pile on initially and you say touchdown, just 172 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: like the officials down on the field set it was. 173 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: And then you see that replay and I don't remember 174 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,079 Speaker 1: who first said it on Twitter, but that somebody saw 175 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: the replay and then it went into my timeline like, 176 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 1: oh no, that's a touchback because the ball came loose 177 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: from Girly's hand as he before he stepped out of bounds. 178 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: So if he just holds onto that ball for a 179 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: split second longer, you know, and he steps out of bounds, 180 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: than the balls out of bounds at the one conceivably 181 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: the Rams then handed off to Todd Grilly again and 182 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 1: he goes in for yard on the touchdown. But Earl 183 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 1: Thomas Man, he is that good. He is just that good, 184 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: and he's done it before against the Rams. If you 185 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: remember a couple of years ago, Benny Cunningham in Seattle 186 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: they sort of had a very similar play where he's 187 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: trying to stretch the ball out toward the end zone. 188 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: Earl Thomas punches the ball out. Well, I mean when 189 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: you go back to and watch Earl Thomas's reaction, he's 190 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: the first one that had it even before the officially. 191 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,959 Speaker 1: So that's the first thing. I mean, every defender is 192 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: always going to try to lie offside, false start, even 193 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 1: if you're dead offsides. I'm gonna point to that guy 194 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 1: and say he moved the shots. Did that a couple 195 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: Let the reps figure it out, right, I'm gonna lie. 196 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: But watching his reaction to that, that told me, Okay, 197 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: I think he got it. I think he got it. 198 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,719 Speaker 1: He got it out because I don't think anyone is 199 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: going to be watching the ball more closely than Earl Thomas. 200 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: He's the last line of defense for the Seahawks. So 201 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: that gave me the first indicator that this could be 202 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: a touchback. Then it was Todd's reaction or non reaction 203 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 1: that told me, okay, I think he may have lost this. 204 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 1: So it happens. I mean, look, when you have a 205 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: guy that stretches out for the end zone to score, 206 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: it's it's feast or famine. Most of the time. He's 207 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: going to score every now and then. That's going to happen. 208 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 1: But I heard about Sean mcvah. I heard what he said, 209 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: what his coaching point is going to be, we want 210 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 1: you to go through that guy, protect the football first. 211 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: So stuff like that will probably never happen again. So 212 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,719 Speaker 1: it's stuff that you work on in practice. But this 213 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 1: is football. It's a reactionary sport, meaning something like that 214 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: has to happen, so you can have the coaching point 215 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: and then you get better as a player and as 216 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: a team. Right, and that I think is what's going 217 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: to happen, you know, guaranteed. Yeah, yeah, next time, Todd 218 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: Gurley is going to run through that guy. Because not 219 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: that I am dissing Earl Thomas in any way, because 220 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,839 Speaker 1: I think he is one of the top three best 221 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: defensive players in this league. But true, I think Todd Gurley, 222 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 1: if he's running and he's got a full head of steam, 223 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 1: he wins that matchup and he goes into the end 224 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: zone or not Earle knocks you out of bounds. Where 225 00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 1: are you going to spot the ball? You know on 226 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:04,199 Speaker 1: the end So this that play and like punt returns 227 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: with Tavon and fair catching, you have an offense that 228 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,479 Speaker 1: can move the ball from anywhere on the field. Okay, 229 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: protect the ball, right. The one thing you can't have 230 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: happen is we lose possession. If we lose possession, we 231 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 1: can't score. If we keep possession. With the way you're 232 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: rolling on offense, you can score from anywhere. So just 233 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: remember that before we get into Taylon Austin, because I 234 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: do want to get into that. I saw this on 235 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: NFL Network on Sunday and it was Earl Thomas and 236 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 1: he was talking about the Rams offense and he was 237 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: on that call with Dion Sanders. You know, the prime. 238 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: Whatever you ball, you get the call, which I think 239 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,079 Speaker 1: is a cute little slogan. It's sort of funny anyway. 240 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: Earl Thomas was saying, you say, cute slogan. He said, 241 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:49,679 Speaker 1: cute slogan, Right, yeah, cute slogan NFL Earl Thomas, Dion 242 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 1: and cute. It's a good slogan. Go ahead, Maybe it's not. 243 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 1: It's cute prime. He said it, Okay, go ahead. I 244 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: know I will never get the carl. He called you cute. 245 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: No no no, no no no no no no no, I 246 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: didn't do it from a distance. I wasn't saying anything 247 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 1: about it, Earl Thomas. I was talking about the slogan 248 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: to that you ball, you get the call my point 249 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 1: on when I was going to Earl Thomas Dion Sanders. Yes. 250 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,679 Speaker 1: So they're having this conversation and Earl Thomas says, hey, man, 251 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: goth has improved a lot, and he said he was 252 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: even looking me off a few times. And there are 253 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: not many many quarterbacks in this league who have successfully 254 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: been able to look off Earl Thomas over the last 255 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 1: however many years he's been playing this in this league. 256 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: So I think that tells you something about this offense 257 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,959 Speaker 1: and how much it has improved. Frank Clark gets pressure 258 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 1: on everybody. Now he got the sack, but for the 259 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 1: most part Andrew Worth held him in check. Michael Bennett, 260 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: how many times did you say his name on game day? 261 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: Not many? How many times did you say Cam Chancellor's name? 262 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: Not many? And if you did, it was usually at 263 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,559 Speaker 1: the end of a catch. So Bobby Wagner, being fulled 264 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: on play action, you had seattle on their heels. They 265 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: know it. They had to bring out out their best 266 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 1: to beat you. So there is a moral victory in that, 267 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: But you don't want moral victories. Moral victories do not 268 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: denote playoff football team. You want real wins. So there 269 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 1: are good things. You appreciate the nice talk from them 270 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 1: and the tip of the cap. That's great. You want 271 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: the victory next time, right, you do want the victory 272 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: next time. But I think these are parts of a 273 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 1: process in becoming a winning franchise. And I think if 274 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: you can have Seattle on the ropes, if you can 275 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,959 Speaker 1: get those kinds of compliments out of Seattle, it shows 276 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: that you are on the right track. And again, no, 277 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: do you need victories. But I think this is part 278 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: of that learning process, you know, and it's it's an 279 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: early season game. But if I'm a Russell Wilson fan, 280 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: I might say that that could have been one of 281 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: his best performances. Really, he was under siege all day. Yes, 282 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 1: and he's still moving the ball, Yes, he's still found 283 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: A way is to keep them on the field, keep 284 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: the play viable and whatnot, and give them credit. I mean, 285 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: I think it was McKissick and Jimmy Graham that basically 286 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 1: and Russell Wilson that basically beat you. Yes, I would 287 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: agree with that that's impressive on their part. So I 288 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,839 Speaker 1: mean there's moral victories. They got the victory an a 289 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: moral victory that they can find a way to win 290 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: even when they're outgunned and outgained like they were. So 291 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,679 Speaker 1: it works both ways, it does. Yeah, but you need 292 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: to get those wins you do. So let's talk more 293 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: about Taylon Austin. Sure, the punt return thing, because it 294 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: did really affect this game, and it's affected this season 295 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: from a special team standpoint. I mean at this point, look, 296 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: we're going into week six of the season and Tavon 297 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: Austin has muffed four punts, three of them have been 298 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 1: recovered by the opposition, and that's why at this point 299 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh has said, hey, we're going to go with 300 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: either Cooper Cup or Pharaoh Cooper as the punt returner. 301 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: What has been the issue for Austin, Well, like you said, 302 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 1: he's shaky fielding punts. I've been through it. Sometimes punt 303 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: returners go through it. It's like the yips and golf. Yes, yeah, 304 00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: they go through it. I've had field goal kickers. I've 305 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: had several guys, but those guys were also dynamic playmakers 306 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: that you want back there with the football, So you 307 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: hold your breath. You hope they field it and then 308 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: good things happen. But if he's having a crisis of 309 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: confidence fielding punts, then you must remove him. You must 310 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: remove him from the game so he can correct himself 311 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: and get over it. There are some other guys you 312 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 1: can put back there that are shorthanded, maybe not as 313 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: dynamic on the return, but at least they can field 314 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: the football because what's more important. What we just talked 315 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: about keeping possession of the football. That's that's got to 316 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: be paramounts. So that's the only thing. And I'm sure 317 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 1: Sean McVay as a head coach just learned something because 318 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 1: I'm guessing here, but I think i'm on point. Tavan 319 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: scored a touchdown, ripped through that Seattle defense, high stepped him, 320 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: went into the end zone on a straight handoff. I'd 321 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: put him back there too. He seems like he's hot today. 322 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: It didn't happen. He fumbled, so I think you might 323 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: have learned a lesson as a head coach there. So 324 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: you've got to go with your gut and protect the 325 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: football at all costs. If you want to find out 326 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: a guy if he's hot or not, maybe not where 327 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: he's shaky or a shaky yes, yeah, And I think 328 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: that was part of the issue. Look, I mean you 329 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: you did. You took him out when he fumbled the 330 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: first one and fortunately recovered at Cooper Cup came back 331 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: in there for that second punt in the first quarter, 332 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 1: return fair caught it, you know, returned fine. But then 333 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: after that twenty seven yard touchdown, I think that you're right, 334 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: you know, you say, Okay, maybe he's figured something out, 335 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 1: maybe he's hot today. How far was that touchdown? Touching 336 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: around twenty seven yards? And how big is he He's 337 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 1: not big, like against six one seventy against the biggest, baddest, 338 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: most prideful defense in the NFC. It was a great play. 339 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: I put him back in punt return to when I 340 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: was hot today. He was at that point. But then 341 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: that happens and then he cooled off because if you 342 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: look at his final numbers, I mean, he had six 343 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: carries for twenty seven yards and that run was twenty 344 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: seven yards. But I don't know, I mean, I don't 345 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: know if I could fully explain to you what fumbling 346 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 1: a punt does to a football team. It negates what 347 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: your defense just did, which has forced them to give 348 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: the ball up, and it takes away the momentum of 349 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 1: your offense. So it's a scramble. The defense that's off 350 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 1: has to scramble and get back on the field, and 351 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: the plan you had offensively has to wait. It just 352 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 1: absolutely kills any sort of momentum you have. It's a killer. Yeah, 353 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: it's that's why they call these things sudden changes. And 354 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: it's difficult to deal with those sudden change plays because 355 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: of that reason, because mentally you are in a different 356 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,399 Speaker 1: place and then all of a sudden, it's oh we 357 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: are we are totally switched. And I've seen the way 358 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,880 Speaker 1: you have you act in a sudden change, like when 359 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: somebody comes through the door when they shouldn't see you 360 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: freak out. But but that reaction is what happens on 361 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: the field. That that is a reaction that happens on 362 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 1: the field when you fumble a punt, that same reaction. Yes, yes, 363 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 1: it's it's you want somebody to blame you do right, 364 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: And that's why you have to You have to be 365 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: able to make those plays in the field, those catches, 366 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 1: especially when you are fair catching the ball right. Yes, 367 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: that means nobody can touch you right, and you have 368 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 1: to be able to catch it. It's just so when 369 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: that happens, you can you can earn your way back. 370 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: But just as a precaution to make sure that Jared 371 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: Goff gets as many touches as possible. If you're shaky, 372 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,880 Speaker 1: I can't have you return punts. Yes, and I think 373 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: that's exactly what the Rams are going to do now. 374 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,439 Speaker 1: It will be interesting to see what who will they 375 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,399 Speaker 1: excuse me, who they will turn to, Phararell Cooper or 376 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup. I would go with Cup, especially with the 377 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 1: offense performing the way it's performing. Like I said, you 378 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 1: want more touches in the hands of Jared Goff. The 379 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,880 Speaker 1: offense has proven this season they can move the football 380 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 1: from anywhere on the field. At some point you might want, 381 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,399 Speaker 1: you know, you might need a play where you need 382 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 1: to flip field position in a hurry, and you might 383 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 1: want to gamble as a punt returner. But why would 384 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,360 Speaker 1: you need to Now you can do it conventionally. Yeah, 385 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: now you can. Yeah. And actually though, Cooper Cup returned 386 00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,880 Speaker 1: a punt for a touchdown in each of his last 387 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:04,160 Speaker 1: three seasons at Eastern Washington, So somebody to think about Yeah, good, 388 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 1: good for Eastern give the ball back to golf. Yeah, 389 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 1: I mean I agree with you on that. Um So. 390 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 1: Also offensively, though, it just seemed like things couldn't quite 391 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 1: get into a rhythm, especially with the offense and how 392 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,120 Speaker 1: it has been run through Todd Gurley. We saw sixteen 393 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: touches for Todd Gurley in this game, fourteen carries for 394 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: forty three yards and then two receptions for seven yards. 395 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: Do you think it was a conscious effort by Seattle 396 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: to take Gurley away? I thought early they didn't have 397 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 1: a choice. Later on in the game, when you know 398 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: they caught fire, got life, they were still in the 399 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: football game. I thought they tightened down, just like the 400 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 1: Rams did in the second half against Dallas. They tightened down, 401 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 1: they played better, They made it tougher for Todd Gurley 402 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: to advance the football on the ground. So, but with 403 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 1: the way the offense is going in the weapons you have, 404 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,719 Speaker 1: you had other people that were ready to step up. 405 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: If you could, could have could have completed one of 406 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: those targets to Sammy Watkins, you blow the game open. 407 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: It's there, true, it's there. You've got man coverage versus 408 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: your best man coverage. Beater going down the field. You 409 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 1: missed one and one it seemed like he misread the route. 410 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: So but you had those plays available to you, so 411 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 1: there were opportunities there. I think Todd Gurley did his job. 412 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: He got Seattle to collapse on him. You had success early. 413 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: They had to abandon their plans just to slow him down, 414 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,199 Speaker 1: which opens everything up. So you had a recipe for 415 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,640 Speaker 1: really knocking Seattle out of there if you didn't turn 416 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: the ball over. Wasn't too much Tavon Austin. That's something 417 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,400 Speaker 1: that people have been kind of talking about this week. 418 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: It wouldn't have been if you would have had an 419 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,880 Speaker 1: equal balance of Sammy Watkins. So I don't think there's 420 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: ever too much Tavon with how they're using him or 421 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,640 Speaker 1: what he can do with the football after the catch 422 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 1: or when you hand it to him. There's never too 423 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: much of that. But I think there were other people 424 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,919 Speaker 1: that had plays they left out there, right all right, 425 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 1: So let's talk about the Sammy Watkins thing, because this 426 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: sort of lit up the Twitter verse on Sunday night 427 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: into Monday with one of your old teammates on one 428 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 1: of the teams that got that things at off. But 429 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins had four targets and no receptions. Um, you 430 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,640 Speaker 1: just alluded to it. One of those was a downfield route, 431 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: just basically a nine route him on Richard Sherman, and 432 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:12,360 Speaker 1: the ball was just a little bit too far out. 433 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 1: Almost put Cam Newton on you. So funny when I 434 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: hear people talk about routes. So I'm just I had 435 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: to when you said nine route, I couldn't resist. I'm sorry, 436 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 1: I know, yeah, I don't want to lose my my 437 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 1: yogurt sponsor. Sorry, but any ahead, I just couldn't resist 438 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 1: that almost the lean back to Yeah, but anyway, Yeah, 439 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,399 Speaker 1: but you know what I do want to say, what 440 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: I think that that particular play was one of the 441 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: plays that Earl Thomas was talking about. Yeah, he Jared Goff, 442 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: looked off Earl and then went down the field to 443 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,360 Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins. Unfortunately the past was not completed. But again, yeah, 444 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 1: what I don't remember is anyone on Sammy did they 445 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: get credit for a pass defense. I don't believe so, 446 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: because I don't think you were on target on any 447 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:02,880 Speaker 1: four of those targets. I don't think you were even 448 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: close correct, So it's not like he was well defenced 449 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,239 Speaker 1: or dropped or whatever or Jared just missed. Yes, and 450 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: they're just also Richard Sherman just go, you know, get 451 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: get the safe signed or the incomplete, you know, saying 452 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: my sports like when especially when that thing goes down 453 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: the field on the nine route. But it's like, what 454 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 1: were you really doing there? Bro? He had you, he 455 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 1: had you beat. Not that I'm trying to insult Richard Sherman, right, 456 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: like Sammy Watkins did haven't beat on that rout? Like 457 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 1: it wasn't because of you that it's incomplete. Yes, yeah, 458 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: that's that's you exalting because you didn't get beat for 459 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: a touchdown. Yeah, yeah, I know what you mean. Yeah, 460 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 1: But that's the thing. So when you see something like 461 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: what happened on Sunday night where Sammy Watkins starts, you know, 462 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 1: saying some stuff on Twitter. Is that a big deal? 463 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: Is that a little deal? Is it no deal? What 464 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: I do for now? Then when you played, I don't 465 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: I don't pay attention to that. I mean someone told 466 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 1: me about that and then I had to go find it. Um, 467 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: I'm sure in the locker room it may play some 468 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 1: probably with the guys in his own room, you know 469 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 1: the other receivers might have an issue, but everyone else 470 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: is worried about their own job. For the most part. 471 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: That's just the way the league goes. But that goes 472 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: back to the cracked windshield. It's frustration. It's the right response, 473 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: just directed in the right way. So I mean, that's 474 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 1: like me driving around for the rest of the year 475 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: with a crack windshield, or driving around into the summer 476 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,119 Speaker 1: with a crack winshield. The season's over, but that crack 477 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 1: still remains, so that stuff is going to be out there. 478 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 1: So I understand his frustration, but work to get better. Right, Look, 479 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 1: the best pros that I know can look at themselves 480 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 1: critically and not take it personally and win or lose 481 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 1: good performance, bad performance. They're always trying to work to 482 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: get better. So I think he's still learning as as 483 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 1: an athlete. Yeah. Yeah, And what we can say is 484 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: this that Sean McVeigh on Monday said that he had 485 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 1: had a good conversation with Sammy Watkins about all of that. 486 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 1: It's funny, good conversation. I love good conversations with head coaches, 487 00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: which means he's talking and you're listening. Yeah, Yeah, that's 488 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: a good conversation, said was that Sammy wat The way 489 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,399 Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins responded to that conversation and the way he 490 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: anticipates that Watkins will handle things moving forward was very positive. So, yeah, 491 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 1: that's something to take out of that. Well, I've seen 492 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:18,679 Speaker 1: a variation of plays and the way you're trying to 493 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 1: get Sammy Watkins the football. They're deep ball, short ball, intermediate, crossing, routes, 494 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 1: out hitches, everything, They're they're trying to find ways to 495 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 1: get Sammy Watkins to football. They want him to have 496 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:34,159 Speaker 1: the rock. It's just not connecting just yet. At some 497 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,640 Speaker 1: point it will, I think so too. Yeah, And but 498 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: this is goes back I mean to something else we 499 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 1: were talking about last week right where people were asking 500 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 1: me on what's up with Sammy Watkins, and I said, well, 501 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,640 Speaker 1: they're scoring thirty five points a game. If you want 502 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 1: to come at me with what's up with Sammy Watkins 503 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: this week, like, I get it, because you go over 504 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 1: four and you're in you're only scoring ten points, Like okay, Like, 505 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,159 Speaker 1: especially against a team like Seattle where you and I 506 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,679 Speaker 1: are talking, sort of expect Sammy watch Pins to have 507 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: more of an impact in a game like that against 508 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 1: the division rival with the type of dudes that they've 509 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: got on the other side of the field. Well, if you, 510 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 1: I don't want to say, know what you're looking at. 511 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 1: But if you watch, he did have an impact on Seattle. 512 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: Look at the way Earl Thomas is playing, where he's 513 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,119 Speaker 1: lining up. Look at the way ear Look at the 514 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 1: way Richard Sherman's has to play Sammy Watkins on that side. 515 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: So and what they're calling against him, it is working. 516 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: It's just you're not connecting yet. I saw I'm watching 517 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 1: everybody's watching Jamis Winston and Deshan Jackson try to get 518 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 1: on the same page. Yes, he can find certain guys 519 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,640 Speaker 1: in that offense. He can find Cameron Brad just fine. 520 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 1: He can find Humphreys just fine. Mike Evans catches just 521 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,439 Speaker 1: about everything, makes Jamis a better quarterback. But he couldn't 522 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: find Deshan Jackson just yet. So the Goff to Watkins 523 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 1: connection is still a work in progress. But when it 524 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: hits and it starts to dominate a month, you're gonna 525 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 1: forget all about this month. So I'd rather have those 526 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:01,120 Speaker 1: guys clicking and say late November December then now, Yes, 527 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:02,880 Speaker 1: I mean, you have a pretty good record when they 528 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 1: when they're not on the same page yet. Yeah, yeah, 529 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: imagine when they are exactly and this offense is still 530 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,360 Speaker 1: moving the ball. Well, yeah, as we've been saying, so 531 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,159 Speaker 1: right now, Watkins is fifth on the team and targets 532 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,119 Speaker 1: with twenty. He's got fourteen receptions for two hundred and 533 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 1: eleven yards. And when you look at and I fully 534 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 1: expect him to lead the team by the end of 535 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 1: the year if he stays healthy and targets and receptions 536 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,919 Speaker 1: or one of it and targets and receptions. I mean, 537 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 1: Robert Woods is going to be there. Cooper Cup is 538 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 1: always going to be Jared Goff's you know, his whoobee, 539 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 1: his his his safety blanket. But I call it back 540 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 1: a whoobee, a woodbe whoobee. You know your your baby blanket, 541 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 1: your whoobee. I did not really have a baby blanket. 542 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 1: I had a Mickey doll. You don't know what it 543 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 1: would be a blanket? Okay, never mind your safety blanket. Yeah, 544 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: I get what you. Yeah, people usually call that a 545 00:26:56,040 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 1: safety blanket. Yes, and it's he's almost Sean mcvay's or 546 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,880 Speaker 1: safety blanket. Just go with safety blanket. He's the guy 547 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,679 Speaker 1: that's guaranteed to be where he's supposed to be at 548 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: all times. Yes, so there is safety, but I expect 549 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 1: at some point when it does, when the lightbulb goes 550 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,639 Speaker 1: on for Goff and Watkins at the same time, that 551 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,719 Speaker 1: connection is undeniable. Well, you look at what Sean McVay 552 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 1: has done in the past, and I wrote about this 553 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 1: on the Rams dot com if you want to check 554 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:26,159 Speaker 1: that out. But just distributing targets, right, Look at last 555 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,640 Speaker 1: year with Washington, you had four guys with at least 556 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: eighty nine targets and no more than one hundred and fourteen. 557 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 1: How you beat defense? Right, it's Jordan Read, It's to 558 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 1: Sean Jackson, it's Pierre oars Son, and it's Jamison Crowder 559 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,480 Speaker 1: right right, All those four guys had at least eighty 560 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,399 Speaker 1: nine targets, but not more than one hundred and fifteen. 561 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 1: So that's the kind of thing they're sort of building 562 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,920 Speaker 1: here in Los Angeles, no doubt I'm saying so. And 563 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: it's because you don't want different defenses to be able 564 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 1: to key in on certain guys. Remember when we had 565 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,119 Speaker 1: this discussion, and I have to go back for a 566 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 1: hot minute. I'll only stay here for thirty seconds tops. 567 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 1: When we were talking about the transition from one coach 568 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,399 Speaker 1: to Sean McVay and philosophies and how they switch. You 569 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: won't have any Chase Reynolds on this football team. You 570 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 1: won't have a Bradley Marquez. If you're on that side 571 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 1: of the ball, you're in the offense. Yes, yeah, you 572 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: can either catch, score, do what have you. But you're 573 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 1: in the offense. So there's no more just special teams 574 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 1: guys taking up spots on that offensive side of the football. 575 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: So that's why I'm not shocked about how they're dispersing 576 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 1: the football. And this goes back to even when they 577 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 1: traded for Derek Carrier after Tamarack Hemingway's injury. I remember 578 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,400 Speaker 1: I asked Sean McVay like, do you anticipate that he's 579 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: going to be able to play in Week one? And 580 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 1: mcas like, oh, yeah, he'll play. Oh yeah, And he did. 581 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,800 Speaker 1: Yeah he did because hey, because he knew the offense, 582 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 1: but b because that's a role that they needed on 583 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 1: their team. And so I think that just speaks to 584 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 1: what you were saying that if you're on this offense, 585 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 1: you're going to catch, You're going to be out there performing. Yes, exactly, um, 586 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 1: So we've talked a lot about the offense here, but 587 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: I do want to talk about this defense too, because 588 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 1: it seems like we brought up okay, did they turn 589 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 1: a corner after that six point only allowing six points 590 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: to the Dallas Cowboys on the second half. Look, defense 591 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 1: played great. Yeah, you turned it over five times, right, 592 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: took it away too, and you still held them to 593 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 1: sixteen points. That is phenomenal, exactly, And that's the exactly 594 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 1: the point that I'm getting too. I really think that 595 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 1: this unit has turned that corner phenomenal. And now, now, 596 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 1: mind you, we talked about the advantages you had, the 597 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 1: Rams had going in. We expected that defensive line, the 598 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 1: Rams defensive line, to dominate the Seattle Seahawks offensive line. 599 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 1: I think that bears out in the numbers. Yes, when 600 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: you watch it closely, Aaron Donald is Aaron Donald's him 601 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. He's making plays. He's there even 602 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 1: when he's not making the play, he's affecting the play. 603 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 1: And Michael Brocker's love the way he's performing. Robert Quinn, 604 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 1: I want, I want to see him on the field more. 605 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 1: But when he's out there, he's affecting the play. The 606 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 1: problem that I see that you run into is when 607 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: those guys are spelled yeah yeah, um, or if there 608 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 1: are accounted for in the offense, as in you double 609 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 1: erin and you find a way to chip on Robert 610 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 1: and you know he's got his own battle going with 611 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,480 Speaker 1: a left tackle. Is there anyone else that can win 612 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 1: up front one on one? Is that anyone else that 613 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 1: can That's That's one of the things that I think 614 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 1: they're sort of having the difficulty with. I don't know 615 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 1: if difficulty is the right word, but they're still working 616 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,280 Speaker 1: toward figuring that out. Well. I like new coaching staff. 617 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 1: I like what Wade Phillips did. He did unleash fifty two. 618 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, he let that speed go in the backfield 619 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: and you had the advantage linebacker versus running back that 620 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: our guy can beat that guy and get to the 621 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 1: quarterback end. It happened time and time again. So uh, 622 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 1: there's a credible plan coming off the bench on this 623 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 1: Rams defense. Um, Like you said to to to have 624 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: to defend five turnovers and only give up sixteen points, 625 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 1: that speaks to how good they were playing that and 626 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 1: only give three points turnovers and the only time that 627 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 1: happened was at the end of the game where yeah, 628 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 1: it was the Frank Clark sack fumble. Sheldon Richardson picks 629 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 1: it up and they're all the way I think almost 630 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 1: the thirty yard line, if not even further inside of 631 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 1: Rams territory than that. But he was just brought up 632 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 1: Robert Quinn's snaps. I'd like to see him play a 633 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 1: little bit more. He played sixty three percent of the snaps, 634 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 1: so forty three percent of the Rams defensive snaps. You're 635 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 1: getting guys like Matt Longacre also post playing great football. Yes, yeah, 636 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 1: and he was in there twenty four snaps thirty five percent. 637 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 1: So that that I think is sort of the kind 638 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 1: of balance the timeshare, right, Yeah, yeah, it's the timeshare. 639 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 1: I mean they're sharing the job. And I'll give him. 640 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 1: What was Aaron Donald's percentage. Aaron Donald's percentage was seventy 641 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 1: eight percent, just one under Michael Brockers, who had fifty 642 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 1: four snaps. Aaron Donald had fifty three. Okay, So I 643 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 1: want to see Robert when I say I want to 644 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 1: see more Quinn, I want to see those three guys 645 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 1: in particular with the same percentage are close to it. Yeah, 646 00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 1: I want those guys in the game at the same 647 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,360 Speaker 1: time part of the real and you're not. And McVeagh 648 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 1: was sort of asked about this, I believe on Monday. 649 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 1: Is they're monitoring Robert Quinn to make sure he stays healthy. Yes, 650 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 1: I know, and and I think with the way that 651 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,239 Speaker 1: the last couple of years have gone for him, that 652 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 1: makes a little that makes sense to me. Matt Longacre 653 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 1: is in terms of pass rush and in terms of 654 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 1: healthy Quinn is the most important person you have for 655 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 1: that because you can allow Quinn to step out right 656 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 1: because there is no letdown with Matt Longacre. Sometimes there 657 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 1: there is, there's improvement sometimes in certain situation. In certain 658 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:34,640 Speaker 1: situations absolutely, yes, Well Matt Longacre right now leads the 659 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: team with three sacks and Robert Quinn is just behind 660 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 1: him with two and a half. Yeah. It speaks to 661 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 1: the productivity out of that position on the song and 662 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 1: leads this football team in atta boys. You know what 663 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: an ada boy is? What That's what the coach says 664 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,480 Speaker 1: when he watches them, one ada boy. Yeah, he leads 665 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 1: the team in atta boys. Absolutely, I think that's I 666 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 1: bet you led the team in jops, jump on pile 667 00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 1: and then you want to tackle. You want to get 668 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 1: credit for a tackle. I hate guys like that. We 669 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 1: just talked about this last We got them all wrapped up, 670 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 1: we bring them down, and then you jump on the 671 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 1: pile and say I did it. No, we literally just 672 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 1: talked about last week how I didn't play defense. He's 673 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 1: a JP I'm not. Don't be a JLP guy. I 674 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 1: don't like to be on a JP guy. Don't be 675 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 1: a JLP guy. I'm not a JLP. Thank you don't jump. 676 00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: I tell them what position you played in high school? 677 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 1: I played quarterback and safety. See he knows. Yeah, he's 678 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 1: not a JLP. He's not a JOP guy. Me. I 679 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 1: was not on defense, so I never would have been 680 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,520 Speaker 1: a JFP guy. But the pass rush, though, yeah, the 681 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 1: pass rush has been pretty good. This came out from 682 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 1: esp and NFL matchup this morning Wednesday morning. They tweeted 683 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,760 Speaker 1: out the Rams are number two in quarterback pressures per 684 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 1: pass snap at thirty three point seven percent of dropbacks. 685 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 1: They're at least getting pressure on the quarterback. And they're 686 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,080 Speaker 1: also number seven in sacks right now, m with fifteen. 687 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 1: So that I think tells you that, look this, this 688 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 1: defensive line is getting some pass rush. I shouldn't say 689 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 1: defensive line the defense as a whole, because you're not 690 00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 1: just it's not just coming from that one. You know, 691 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:00,239 Speaker 1: you've got a lot of speed, and you've got some 692 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,640 Speaker 1: dynamic players. Yes, Um, you've got a guy that's I 693 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,000 Speaker 1: don't want to say can't be blocked, but I mean 694 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:10,440 Speaker 1: it's it's a rarity when it happens. Yeah, bad position, 695 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:12,919 Speaker 1: good body position, he can fight his way out and 696 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,680 Speaker 1: become effective, become a problem for the offense. And we 697 00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,239 Speaker 1: talked about Quinn and Michael Brocker's. Um, it may not 698 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,759 Speaker 1: be as pretty as what Donald is doing, but you 699 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,240 Speaker 1: know he's getting that big body back towards the quarterback. 700 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 1: And when you get within a foot at that size 701 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 1: and you extend your arms and your body, I mean 702 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,160 Speaker 1: that's like throwing through a you know, trying to throw 703 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,279 Speaker 1: through a tree. It's impossible. So yeah, I mean there's 704 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 1: there are things that they're doing that are just great. Um, 705 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,959 Speaker 1: you need to continue on and make sure you earn 706 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 1: the right to rush the passer, and you do that 707 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,360 Speaker 1: by making sure they can't run. Yeah, what do you 708 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 1: what did you think of John Johnson in his first 709 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:55,680 Speaker 1: start at safety? UM saw it coming. Yeah, and this 710 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 1: is no knock on Moe Alexander. I like Moe Alexander. 711 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,319 Speaker 1: H Yeah, I love this story. I love everything about him. 712 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,320 Speaker 1: But if you go through a history of what do 713 00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 1: you call that an anthology of Wade Phillips defenses, find 714 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,319 Speaker 1: a safety that matches him, there aren't many. No, I 715 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 1: mean they're they're they're they're rangy guys. Um and Johnson 716 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 1: fits that role. LaMarcus Joiner fits that role. I can't 717 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 1: wait till you see both of those guys back there. 718 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,600 Speaker 1: It's gonna be tremendous. So it is what it is. 719 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 1: But I love this performance, but I wasn't surprised by it, 720 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,440 Speaker 1: especially against this offense. Yeah, I think that one of 721 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:33,160 Speaker 1: the things that stood out to me was just how 722 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,160 Speaker 1: well he did at the beginning of the game when 723 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 1: they start coming after him, basically from jump. You know, 724 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,960 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson is trying to take these bigger drops and 725 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 1: from fire it down the field and John Johnson just 726 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 1: gets the pass breakups. It did a good job with that. 727 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,920 Speaker 1: When when you watched him in college and you watch 728 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 1: him in training camp and in practice, I mean, everybody 729 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,239 Speaker 1: is happy when they make a play, but he never 730 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,880 Speaker 1: looked surprised when he made one. Yeah, some guys come 731 00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:57,920 Speaker 1: up with a pick or a sack or whatever, they 732 00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,399 Speaker 1: make a basket, a three pointer, and they're like, they're 733 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,239 Speaker 1: so shocked because they didn't know they were going to 734 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,400 Speaker 1: make it. The guys that look common cool when they 735 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,319 Speaker 1: hit those shots are the guys that expect to make it. 736 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,759 Speaker 1: So he was a guy that you can tell, with 737 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 1: his size, his body's hype, he was going to be 738 00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,680 Speaker 1: a starter. Sooner than later. We knew this. Whether he's 739 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:14,920 Speaker 1: going to be a star or not, we don't know, 740 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:16,880 Speaker 1: but he's going to be out there as a starter 741 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:18,680 Speaker 1: at some point, and he's going to be able to 742 00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,879 Speaker 1: make plays. You can see it. The guy's got confidence already. Yeah, 743 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:25,120 Speaker 1: and he deservedly so. The pick that he had off 744 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson I thought was beautiful, really really good play beautiful. 745 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,160 Speaker 1: I mean because the way where he starts on that play, 746 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 1: he's almost at the far hash right before the ball 747 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,440 Speaker 1: is snap. He recognizes where he's got to be. I mean, 748 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:39,360 Speaker 1: he said after the game, he's seen that play on film, 749 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, boom, he's on the 750 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 1: other side of the field and he picks off the pass. Well, 751 00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,160 Speaker 1: you don't see well, I mean sometimes you do. You 752 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,680 Speaker 1: don't see rookies that have the dare I say the guts. 753 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:52,359 Speaker 1: I'll just say the guts to trust their instincts. Some 754 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,879 Speaker 1: guys are just they're trying to do what you told 755 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,799 Speaker 1: them and they get beat with their eyes. Right, he 756 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,480 Speaker 1: diagnosed the play. I'm not going to be fold it's 757 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,440 Speaker 1: coming bang, and he closed on the football, made a 758 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,080 Speaker 1: great play on it, picked it up. So um, that 759 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,960 Speaker 1: is a veteran type play out of him. So some 760 00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,279 Speaker 1: guys just don't when they get to this point they 761 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,920 Speaker 1: become starters, they have this paralysis by analysis. They they 762 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,040 Speaker 1: try so hard not to make a mistake. They don't 763 00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 1: make any play. He's just playing football. Yeah, when you 764 00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,959 Speaker 1: get caught by a quarterback, though, is that wait a minute, 765 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,319 Speaker 1: talk about that's not an average quarterback. It's not an 766 00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,160 Speaker 1: average quarterback. That's two guys. If you look at McKissick 767 00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,960 Speaker 1: on that play, Yeah, he was closing, he was Yeah, 768 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,600 Speaker 1: I mean in a foot race, McKissick catches him, Yes, 769 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,120 Speaker 1: and Russell Wilson took the perfect angle and it's not 770 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,759 Speaker 1: like he can't run. So yeah, let's not say he 771 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,799 Speaker 1: got caught by a quarterback. Okay, you you are being 772 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,040 Speaker 1: kinder in the in the defense of John Johnson not 773 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,319 Speaker 1: scoring on that play than I thought you would. No, 774 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,960 Speaker 1: I want you to score. No, I want you to score. 775 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:56,320 Speaker 1: You should score in that situation. More credits. You said 776 00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,560 Speaker 1: you got caught by a quarterback. I'm like, wait a minute, 777 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:01,120 Speaker 1: that's not an average quarterback chasing him down. I mean, 778 00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,600 Speaker 1: I said he got the quarterback because who made the tackle. 779 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,799 Speaker 1: But the quarterback right right right, great angle to the ball. 780 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:08,480 Speaker 1: It was a great angle to the ball and he 781 00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:12,160 Speaker 1: was being run down by If if Wilson doesn't make 782 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,240 Speaker 1: that play on a straight line, I think mckiszick catches 783 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,319 Speaker 1: him maybe because he gained I mean, and he was 784 00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,080 Speaker 1: I think he was a step behind when he caught it. Yeah. Yeah, 785 00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,120 Speaker 1: So it is what it is. It is what it is. 786 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,239 Speaker 1: Cody Davis too, though I thought played really well. Um 787 00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:27,239 Speaker 1: FORI LA Marcus Joyner, who may be back this week. 788 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,759 Speaker 1: It's still a little bit unclear because we're on Wednesdays, 789 00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,560 Speaker 1: so we don't know if he will practice or when 790 00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,279 Speaker 1: he will practice, or how much he has practiced. But 791 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,880 Speaker 1: McVay did say last week that they're anticipating that Joinner 792 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:42,000 Speaker 1: could be available for this week's game. But Cody Davis 793 00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,840 Speaker 1: did get that nice pick staying back where he needed 794 00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,200 Speaker 1: to be on that trick play. If LaMarcus told me 795 00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,239 Speaker 1: he was ready to play, I still would sit on 796 00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,920 Speaker 1: him for a week. Yeah, because I know why he 797 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:55,360 Speaker 1: wants to play, because you lost and he wasn't out there. Yeah, 798 00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,600 Speaker 1: so he's going to tell you he's one hundred if 799 00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,560 Speaker 1: he's not, So I still would stay with a protocol 800 00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,640 Speaker 1: whatever we said for this injury. Um, but he probably 801 00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,240 Speaker 1: told you he was okay for last Sunday. Yeah, you know, LaMarcus. 802 00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 1: But great play by Cody Davis, I mean, excellent play, Um, 803 00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 1: great break. I thought Seattle tried to get a little tricky. 804 00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,399 Speaker 1: They out tricked themselves and it was a great break 805 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,319 Speaker 1: on the ball by by LaMarcus, by Cody Davis picking 806 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,080 Speaker 1: off that pass. Yeah, and it was a nice play 807 00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,120 Speaker 1: to secure it. Keep your both feet in and put 808 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:26,120 Speaker 1: on the sideline. Yeah. I think this defense it's taken 809 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:29,000 Speaker 1: the next step. But you're going to have to contend 810 00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:32,560 Speaker 1: with a Jaguars offense that can really really run the ball. 811 00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,759 Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette I think has done a great job as 812 00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:38,239 Speaker 1: a rookie through his first five Well, we when we 813 00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,000 Speaker 1: are on the road, the things we love to do 814 00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,960 Speaker 1: is go watch college football. How many times did we go, 815 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,880 Speaker 1: oh my god, Leonard Fournette when he was at LSU 816 00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,160 Speaker 1: A lot? And to see that actually pan out in 817 00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:54,680 Speaker 1: the NFL makes your job even drop even wider because 818 00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:58,360 Speaker 1: it looks the same. He's just running over pros now. Yes, yeah, 819 00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,400 Speaker 1: so he's gotten better, he's got bigger, he's gotten stronger. 820 00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,600 Speaker 1: So as a fan of football, I am so excited 821 00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:08,200 Speaker 1: to see this guy live. Yeah. As from a RAMS perspective, 822 00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,680 Speaker 1: this is a great challenge, great challenge. This is going 823 00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:13,239 Speaker 1: to be a whole lot of fun to watch. Well, 824 00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:15,480 Speaker 1: I just I remember there there was a quote that 825 00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:20,200 Speaker 1: came out from him, um in the preseason. Oh it's easy, Yeah, right, 826 00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:23,000 Speaker 1: but it's but I mean, is he wrong? I threw 827 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,879 Speaker 1: that out the minute I heard it. I mean, he's 828 00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:27,879 Speaker 1: never been through a regular season game and you're saying 829 00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:29,960 Speaker 1: it's easy. So why am I even listening to you? 830 00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,480 Speaker 1: How would you know? Well, you wouldn't know. Yeah, I 831 00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:35,960 Speaker 1: mean if you look at the performance, like we're breaking 832 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:39,000 Speaker 1: off ninety yard runs, against the Pittsburgh Steelers and you're 833 00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,319 Speaker 1: you're waving on defender. Do you see that play? Yeah, 834 00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:44,040 Speaker 1: we waves on the defender. Would that piss you off? 835 00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:47,279 Speaker 1: If you're a defender? Can I say that word beyond? Yeah? 836 00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:51,520 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, that's tawning. Yeah. The the the the 837 00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:54,239 Speaker 1: point behind the taunt is to make me mad if 838 00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,880 Speaker 1: you and it would if you're behind me and running 839 00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:59,759 Speaker 1: from my end zone waving me yeah, yeah, that would 840 00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:03,480 Speaker 1: make me a little upset. Yeah yeah, yeah, I mean 841 00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:05,759 Speaker 1: like I would actually hope for a fumble on the 842 00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,560 Speaker 1: return just so I can get back out there. Yeah yeah, yeah, 843 00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:10,480 Speaker 1: if you're doing that to me, Yeah, but I mean, 844 00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,239 Speaker 1: isn't it kind of but when he does it, he 845 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,799 Speaker 1: still runs over the guy, Like don't you see As 846 00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:18,960 Speaker 1: a fan of football, though, can't you see why? That's 847 00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:23,560 Speaker 1: like fun what tawny? Yeah? Absolutely, you asked me if 848 00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:25,919 Speaker 1: I was out there, I hate it as a fan, 849 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,200 Speaker 1: that's funny. Yeah, it's funny. Wow. Yeah, don't let him 850 00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:31,640 Speaker 1: do that to you. Yeah yeah, yeah, I'll take you. 851 00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:36,400 Speaker 1: Do you remember Jamal Anderson? Is that name? Ringabelle Atlanta Falcon? Yes, okay, 852 00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:38,560 Speaker 1: he's in the end zone right behind me. Doing the 853 00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,600 Speaker 1: dirty bird. I was steamed. You know what I could 854 00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:46,960 Speaker 1: do about it? Nothing? He's already in there. Yeah, right, exactly. Um, well, 855 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,360 Speaker 1: right now in four Nette is number two in yards rushing, 856 00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,560 Speaker 1: he's top of the league and rushing attempts. He leads 857 00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:55,960 Speaker 1: in rushing touchdowns now two with five. He is the 858 00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,040 Speaker 1: center of their offense. And if he couldn't have been 859 00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:02,879 Speaker 1: the plan, really it couldn't have been. Why do you think? 860 00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:06,640 Speaker 1: Why do you think? Not? Well, if and I don't 861 00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:08,719 Speaker 1: want to say, if you didn't have a quarterback that 862 00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,120 Speaker 1: was still trying to find it, that was if you 863 00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:14,520 Speaker 1: didn't have a struggling point to find it as kind exactly, 864 00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,319 Speaker 1: if you had a quarterback that wasn't struggling, I don't 865 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:18,920 Speaker 1: think he would be the center point of the offense. 866 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:20,960 Speaker 1: He'd be a major part of it, but he wouldn't 867 00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,520 Speaker 1: be carrying the load. Well, but he's really carrying the load. 868 00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:27,120 Speaker 1: I mean he's getting this many carries. Mean, asked head 869 00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:30,160 Speaker 1: coach Doug Moron about this on his Doug Marrone's conference 870 00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,600 Speaker 1: call with LA Media, which is just before we started 871 00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:34,880 Speaker 1: recording this. But what they were talking about with a 872 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:39,439 Speaker 1: vision for Leonard Fournette was basically that he would run 873 00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:42,120 Speaker 1: the ball a lot, and the only the difference is 874 00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:45,480 Speaker 1: that he has had better hands than they anticipated in 875 00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,520 Speaker 1: terms of catching a ball. And they have also been 876 00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:51,399 Speaker 1: really impressed with his ability to block on third down, 877 00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,200 Speaker 1: so when they get into those passing situations, they don't 878 00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:55,960 Speaker 1: just have to take him off the field. He's not 879 00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,400 Speaker 1: just a two down back. He really has become a 880 00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,279 Speaker 1: three down back. So I guess that's sort of the 881 00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,600 Speaker 1: interesting one of the interesting things about him there. That's 882 00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:06,120 Speaker 1: the challenge. And you know, I've seen the Rams go 883 00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:09,279 Speaker 1: through this when they had Stephen Jackson and little else. 884 00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:14,399 Speaker 1: Once they did slow down Stephen Jackson, that was the game, right, 885 00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:17,719 Speaker 1: So when you are facing a hot running back, it's 886 00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,160 Speaker 1: a great challenge because he can run three over and 887 00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:23,279 Speaker 1: around you and make you, you know, sing for your 888 00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,359 Speaker 1: supper that day. But if you do find a way 889 00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:29,240 Speaker 1: to bottle him up, right, yeah, and then you forced 890 00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:31,320 Speaker 1: them to be one dimensional, then you get after the passers. 891 00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:35,120 Speaker 1: So yeah, as long as you like San Francisco, when 892 00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:38,160 Speaker 1: Carlos hide, they ran Carlos hide at you. I was 893 00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,600 Speaker 1: surprised that Brian Hoyer was up to the task. I 894 00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:43,640 Speaker 1: thought the game would be over then. So I mean, 895 00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:45,640 Speaker 1: that's why I'm saying a quarterback that's struggling. I don't 896 00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:49,600 Speaker 1: want to say he's bad, because that's not necessarily true. 897 00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:51,640 Speaker 1: Got a lot of season ago. He could find his 898 00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,799 Speaker 1: way against you. But if you find a way to 899 00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,319 Speaker 1: slow down or stop for net and you get after 900 00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:01,239 Speaker 1: Blake Bortles, there's a good chance you'll have a great day. Yes, yeah, exactly, 901 00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:05,719 Speaker 1: but big goodness, gracious, Bake badge. I don't know what 902 00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:12,000 Speaker 1: I'm trying to talk by, short circuits, short circuits, Blake Bortles. 903 00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,000 Speaker 1: That's kind of a hard name to say, Blake Bortles, 904 00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:16,520 Speaker 1: Blake Portles, Blake Portles, Blake Portles, Blake Bortles. Can you 905 00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:24,520 Speaker 1: say Blake Bortles, Blake Portals, Blake Blake Sports Portals, Blatles. 906 00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:26,759 Speaker 1: Come on, it's not that, thank you. I don't know. 907 00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:29,319 Speaker 1: I guess I'm just anyway ahead. It's probably need um, 908 00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:31,040 Speaker 1: But what do you mean he's a first round pick 909 00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:34,520 Speaker 1: former first round. They've tried a lot, they've invested a 910 00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,960 Speaker 1: lot into developing this guy. Um, But right now, you 911 00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,120 Speaker 1: know he was completing fifty four point eight percent of 912 00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,839 Speaker 1: his passes get eight hundred and twenty seven yards, which 913 00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:45,400 Speaker 1: is works out to one hundred and sixty five yards 914 00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,719 Speaker 1: per game right now, and there's still three and two. 915 00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,560 Speaker 1: So I think that tells you something about the effectiveness 916 00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,600 Speaker 1: of not just you know what they're doing on offense 917 00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:57,200 Speaker 1: with Fournette, but also um their defense. But you look 918 00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:59,520 Speaker 1: at what Blake Bortles was able to do last week, 919 00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,600 Speaker 1: or they asked him to do last week. They he 920 00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,680 Speaker 1: took two drop backs in the second half. One of 921 00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:08,040 Speaker 1: them was a sack, one of them wasn't incomplete pass 922 00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:10,759 Speaker 1: to the left, and then from that on what that 923 00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,080 Speaker 1: was came on the first drive of the second half. Yeah, 924 00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:15,560 Speaker 1: he did not even drop back at all. I think 925 00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:17,880 Speaker 1: ask him to throw a pass. I think every coordinator 926 00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:20,440 Speaker 1: out there, even Sean McVay, if they know that you 927 00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:21,920 Speaker 1: can just turn the ball and hand it off to 928 00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:25,400 Speaker 1: a running back and gain yards every single play like 929 00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:28,759 Speaker 1: with consistency, that's exactly what they'll call. Yes, Yeah, I mean, 930 00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:33,320 Speaker 1: there's there's no it's not mandatory to have a forward 931 00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:37,080 Speaker 1: pass in the offense. Yeah, right, if you can, if 932 00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:39,160 Speaker 1: you can just play ball control like that, right and 933 00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,440 Speaker 1: gain yards, take time off the clock, and who was 934 00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:42,800 Speaker 1: it was it what he Hayes that said when you 935 00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:45,759 Speaker 1: throw the ball, three things can happen and two are bad. Yes, yeah, 936 00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:48,720 Speaker 1: So I mean, yeah, if you like a punt returner, 937 00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,560 Speaker 1: if he's shaky, or if your quarterback is still trying 938 00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:54,640 Speaker 1: to find it with his accuracy or his confidence throwing 939 00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:56,839 Speaker 1: certain routes, then stay away from it as long as 940 00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,799 Speaker 1: you're having success. So there are certain quarterbacks that are 941 00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:03,480 Speaker 1: rate playing behind a running game, and there are quarterbacks 942 00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,280 Speaker 1: that when they don't have a running game just aren't 943 00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:09,200 Speaker 1: as good. So I think that's most of them, probably, yeah, 944 00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:11,880 Speaker 1: because you have that balance, especially this week. So if 945 00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:14,680 Speaker 1: you can dominate upfront, and if you can do it 946 00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:18,319 Speaker 1: with just seven guys, come on, you've got the game 947 00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:21,000 Speaker 1: in the bag, you would hope. So, but you're still 948 00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:24,239 Speaker 1: gonna have to contend with Jacksonville's defense, which has become 949 00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:26,239 Speaker 1: one of the better units in the league this year 950 00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,239 Speaker 1: through the way they get after the passer. There first 951 00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:31,839 Speaker 1: in the league in sacks. They've got twenty. And you've 952 00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:35,400 Speaker 1: also got two cornerbacks and A J. Boyer and Jalen 953 00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:38,719 Speaker 1: Ramsey who are really really good, and they're doing a 954 00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:40,960 Speaker 1: really good job with what they've been asked to do 955 00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:43,960 Speaker 1: head scratching. When you watch Pittsburgh and you look at 956 00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,880 Speaker 1: Jacksonville's defense, I wonder why, Well, I guess you have 957 00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:51,440 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, but why would you attack their strength? You 958 00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,399 Speaker 1: attack their corners? Yeah, and yeah, they made you pay 959 00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:57,320 Speaker 1: time and time again. So I thought I was with 960 00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:59,520 Speaker 1: Levon Bell. You should have stayed with the ground game. 961 00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:01,799 Speaker 1: I think you will have more You would have had 962 00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:04,320 Speaker 1: more success there, and I think that's going to be 963 00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:07,480 Speaker 1: the key to the football came because I like their front. 964 00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:11,800 Speaker 1: I like Paul I can't say his name, puzz Luzni, 965 00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:15,560 Speaker 1: puzz Luzni. I like him as a player. But I 966 00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:20,160 Speaker 1: mean it's a traditional four three defense, no frills. They 967 00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:23,279 Speaker 1: think they're more physical than you, and I think the 968 00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:25,560 Speaker 1: Rams have an offense to match that and beat that. 969 00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:29,000 Speaker 1: So as long as you're moving the football on the 970 00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:31,440 Speaker 1: ground to open everything up, right, And I like Klais 971 00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:34,440 Speaker 1: Campbell too, ultimate respect. Right, You've seen what he can 972 00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:37,000 Speaker 1: do for a number of years there with the Arizona Cardinals. 973 00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:40,160 Speaker 1: He has six sacks. He leads the team. H Dante Fowler, 974 00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:43,800 Speaker 1: former first round pick out of Calorida Rush. Yes, yeah, absolutely, 975 00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:46,759 Speaker 1: he's second on their team with four sacks. Yeah, those 976 00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:48,719 Speaker 1: are two guys that the Rams are definitely going to 977 00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:51,160 Speaker 1: have to contend with offensively. Twenty sacks on the air 978 00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:54,080 Speaker 1: for Jacksonville and ten came in the first game. Yeah, 979 00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,600 Speaker 1: so I mean, and when you look at the stats, 980 00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:58,560 Speaker 1: they're so up and down, Like, I don't think they 981 00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:00,640 Speaker 1: played their worst or their best game yet. I think 982 00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:02,920 Speaker 1: that's true. So it's it's still out there. For their 983 00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:05,640 Speaker 1: best game might have been against Baltimore actually in London. 984 00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:09,000 Speaker 1: Ten sacks against Houston in Week one. I mean, that's 985 00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,480 Speaker 1: a pretty good day, it is, but I just mean 986 00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:14,640 Speaker 1: the way they and Baltimore was off on that day too, 987 00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,440 Speaker 1: But I mean that was a day that um it 988 00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:20,640 Speaker 1: was right after the Thursday night. I remember was in 989 00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:23,440 Speaker 1: my apartment, you know, in my robe watching football at 990 00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:25,960 Speaker 1: like seven am, which is weird, but this is a 991 00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:29,560 Speaker 1: West Coast. Did I just give it too much information? Why? 992 00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:34,040 Speaker 1: I mean, what did you just pictures and miles in 993 00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:36,680 Speaker 1: a row? Right? Right? Okay? That was too much? Yeah? 994 00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:39,960 Speaker 1: Yeah I didn't. I wasn't like lounging like I just 995 00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,680 Speaker 1: I had on my pj's and I put on the 996 00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:46,480 Speaker 1: road and I had some bacon. It was a great morning. 997 00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:49,200 Speaker 1: Maybe a bloody Mary was mixed in there. Your mom 998 00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:54,440 Speaker 1: is listening. Yeah, well not anymore, not after they just 999 00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:58,280 Speaker 1: stopped later episode last week that was that was probably 1000 00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:02,400 Speaker 1: too much. But you brought up their their rush defense, 1001 00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:04,840 Speaker 1: and you know what, they're giving up one hundred and 1002 00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,799 Speaker 1: forty six yards per game on the ground that they 1003 00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:12,200 Speaker 1: only the Jaguars. The Chargers have been worse with their 1004 00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:14,279 Speaker 1: run defense. They're giving up one hundred and sixty one 1005 00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:17,200 Speaker 1: yards per game five point four yards per attempt. So 1006 00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:20,640 Speaker 1: that ought to translate to a lot of girly this week, 1007 00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,719 Speaker 1: right right, Well, giving up on the ground because of 1008 00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:26,160 Speaker 1: what they how they play and what they're calling, but 1009 00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:28,600 Speaker 1: they're not giving up many plays over the top either, 1010 00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:31,920 Speaker 1: right Yeah, So they're trusting their guys up front to 1011 00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:34,279 Speaker 1: stop the run. That's what I mean traditional four three 1012 00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:39,400 Speaker 1: no frills. Their best adjustment is play harder. Now I'm serious, 1013 00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:42,640 Speaker 1: but if but if they're more physical and they're playing 1014 00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:45,640 Speaker 1: at home with crowd noise, they can absolutely get after you. 1015 00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:47,520 Speaker 1: But it's not going to be that tricky. You're gonna 1016 00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:50,080 Speaker 1: know where they are. They're not really going to fool 1017 00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:52,200 Speaker 1: you that much. They're just gonna try to beat you 1018 00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:54,160 Speaker 1: in the phone booth. That's how they want to play, 1019 00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:57,440 Speaker 1: and they want to make the offense earn it down 1020 00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:01,120 Speaker 1: the field. So if you're efficient, if you can be 1021 00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:03,920 Speaker 1: accurate with your passes, not have any pre snap penalties, 1022 00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:06,279 Speaker 1: you'll move the ball against them and you'll be able 1023 00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:08,920 Speaker 1: to score. But if you give them life, or if 1024 00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:12,720 Speaker 1: you are shaky and anywhere, if you can't complete passes, 1025 00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:15,640 Speaker 1: if you're making mistakes in the run game, they're gonna 1026 00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:17,480 Speaker 1: have you in third and long situations. And with that 1027 00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:19,520 Speaker 1: four three, they're gonna get after you, right. And the 1028 00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:22,440 Speaker 1: one thing that I think we've noticed about this offense 1029 00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:25,120 Speaker 1: is that it's done well with staying ahead of the chains. 1030 00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:28,960 Speaker 1: Did not do that last week really against Seattle, and 1031 00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:31,120 Speaker 1: that I think led to a lot of the issues 1032 00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:34,440 Speaker 1: that we're starting to happen in the red zone. Though, 1033 00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:36,759 Speaker 1: anything you've seen on film that you can point to 1034 00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:39,520 Speaker 1: for the Rams offense that makes you say, okay, this 1035 00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,920 Speaker 1: is why they've just not really been scoring touchdowns down there. Well, 1036 00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:47,000 Speaker 1: I thought you the Robert Woods play in Dallas that 1037 00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:49,879 Speaker 1: was a touchdown. I don't know why. I still don't 1038 00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:51,960 Speaker 1: know why that wasn't that last week? I don't know 1039 00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:55,000 Speaker 1: if if if not Richard Sherman. If Earl Thomas does 1040 00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:57,160 Speaker 1: knock the ball out of girl's hands, that's a red 1041 00:50:57,239 --> 00:50:59,600 Speaker 1: zone touchdown. Okay, So I mean there's a lot of 1042 00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:02,239 Speaker 1: good things, and like we said, that was the best 1043 00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:05,239 Speaker 1: ball I've seen Jared Goff lace in there. Cooper Cup 1044 00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:08,719 Speaker 1: just didn't catch it. Yes, so I see a lot 1045 00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:10,560 Speaker 1: of good thing. I see a lot more good things 1046 00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:13,319 Speaker 1: and bad things in the red zone. So I don't 1047 00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:17,200 Speaker 1: think there is a red zone problem. I think just 1048 00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:21,839 Speaker 1: a series of unfortunate incidents kept you from scoring. Why 1049 00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:24,160 Speaker 1: did you just go with a series of unfortunate events 1050 00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:28,359 Speaker 1: like the book series? No, you don't know a series 1051 00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:31,040 Speaker 1: of unfortunate Yeah, I did it on purpose, not to 1052 00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:33,920 Speaker 1: use the book it was. It would have been funnier anyway. 1053 00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:36,719 Speaker 1: Go ahead, Matt, Do you know a series of unfortunate events? Yes? 1054 00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:39,880 Speaker 1: I know it? When it's copyrighted? Can we even say it? Oh? Gosh, 1055 00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:44,560 Speaker 1: tell him, tell him. I don't know why I stopped 1056 00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:49,160 Speaker 1: myself right, No, all right, So before we get out 1057 00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:52,279 Speaker 1: of here, I do have a food related question. A 1058 00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:54,879 Speaker 1: team a half tag team mustard question of the week 1059 00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:58,160 Speaker 1: because I know that you're doing the needless thing. Now, 1060 00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:01,120 Speaker 1: Oh thank you, Miles, thank you. No, I want me 1061 00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:03,760 Speaker 1: to tell them thank you anyway, go ahead. Well but okay, 1062 00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:06,000 Speaker 1: so but I like and I was having this discussion 1063 00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:09,120 Speaker 1: with a few friends of mine this week. Um, blue cheese. 1064 00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:14,800 Speaker 1: Do you like blue cheese? Or no? Should blue cheese exists? 1065 00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:19,480 Speaker 1: That was the central question I used to Okay, my 1066 00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:22,920 Speaker 1: mother introduced me to blue cheese. Tasted pretty good. I 1067 00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:24,520 Speaker 1: think I went through a little run with it, and 1068 00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:27,520 Speaker 1: I haven't ordered it since. How long has that been? 1069 00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:29,799 Speaker 1: I mean I was a kid. Wow, Yeah, I mean 1070 00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:33,120 Speaker 1: talking a long time. It's not top of my menu, 1071 00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:35,840 Speaker 1: but should like inherently those should it exist? Like ere 1072 00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:38,000 Speaker 1: either whether you're having it on wings or a burger, 1073 00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:40,560 Speaker 1: a salad, A little blue cheese crumble on a salad. 1074 00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:43,840 Speaker 1: I think that's great. Yeah, it exists. Every everywhere I 1075 00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:48,000 Speaker 1: go there's blue cheese is available? Right. Just because I 1076 00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:52,240 Speaker 1: don't like it, should mean it disappears? Yeah, exactly, Okay, 1077 00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:55,520 Speaker 1: person who know that what I'm talking about? But okay, 1078 00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:59,760 Speaker 1: but blue cheese. You it's not the camera, Oh okay, 1079 00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:03,839 Speaker 1: but blue blue cheese with wings? Yes or no? I'd 1080 00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:07,719 Speaker 1: never have never, never better. I don't use ranch. You 1081 00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:10,000 Speaker 1: don't use ranch or blue cheese, no whatever, the don't 1082 00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:13,319 Speaker 1: bring whatever type of wings I order are the wings 1083 00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:15,319 Speaker 1: I'm going to eat. I don't eat extra sauce, Matt, 1084 00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:18,520 Speaker 1: how about you when you blue cheese? I only eat 1085 00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:22,359 Speaker 1: white or yellow cheese. Blue cheese is sort of white. 1086 00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:28,560 Speaker 1: I'm just just joking. I'm better, Okay. I tend to 1087 00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:32,560 Speaker 1: avoid it, not like intentionally, but just because I don't know. 1088 00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:34,480 Speaker 1: Why are you asking me about blue cheese? Because I 1089 00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:36,680 Speaker 1: was having the discussion with a couple of people like 1090 00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:39,680 Speaker 1: this is the couple since we're outing people about, you know, 1091 00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:42,520 Speaker 1: eating stuff. Were we talking about? We're talking about a 1092 00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:45,480 Speaker 1: couple of people that here, okay, and they don't like 1093 00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:47,680 Speaker 1: blue cheese or they do like blue cheese. Person, No, 1094 00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:50,319 Speaker 1: they don't, well, but they when they like blue cheese 1095 00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:52,800 Speaker 1: on a burger. One person said that blue cheese should 1096 00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:55,200 Speaker 1: not exist entirely, and I say, I don't really like 1097 00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:57,799 Speaker 1: it on like a steak or flap. I like blue 1098 00:53:57,880 --> 00:53:59,839 Speaker 1: cheese with my wings. If I'm not going to dip 1099 00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,080 Speaker 1: the wing in the blue cheese, but I like dipping 1100 00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:04,360 Speaker 1: the veggies in the blue cheese as opposed to ranch. Okay, 1101 00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:07,960 Speaker 1: all right, there we go. All right, So were worse 1102 00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:10,560 Speaker 1: after that? I don't know I learned something or did 1103 00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:15,359 Speaker 1: I get dumber? Okay, all right. Single most important thing 1104 00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:18,640 Speaker 1: the Rams have to do to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars, 1105 00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:24,440 Speaker 1: UM play within themselves. UM. Don't try to replay the 1106 00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:28,200 Speaker 1: game against the Seahawks, against the Jacksonville Jaguars. UM play 1107 00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:33,160 Speaker 1: the Jags and be better than what you were a 1108 00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:36,200 Speaker 1: week ago. But I would have said that win or lose, ye, 1109 00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:39,600 Speaker 1: So constantly try to get better. And I think it 1110 00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:42,360 Speaker 1: goes without saying. You can't turn the ball over. You 1111 00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:44,919 Speaker 1: can't turn it over at home, and you really can't 1112 00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:46,879 Speaker 1: do it on the road. Right, Yeah, the crowd will 1113 00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:50,360 Speaker 1: it'll be unforgiving. Yeah all right, Well that'll do it 1114 00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:52,959 Speaker 1: for us here inside the RAMS studio connected by AT 1115 00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:54,960 Speaker 1: and T. Next week we will see if we will 1116 00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:56,480 Speaker 1: get one of these done. It might not be on 1117 00:54:56,680 --> 00:55:00,719 Speaker 1: camera because blue cheese, Oh no, not that a podcast. 1118 00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:03,439 Speaker 1: We're gonna be in Jacksonville at this time next week, 1119 00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:06,719 Speaker 1: UM with the team. Obviously, Rams are flying from here 1120 00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:10,560 Speaker 1: to Jacksonville. UM this Friday and the next Thursday, we 1121 00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:13,760 Speaker 1: will be flying from Jacksonville to London, so that should 1122 00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:16,879 Speaker 1: be a fun track. Yes. Absolutely, did he turn down 1123 00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:19,919 Speaker 1: a million bucks last week? Turn down one million million 1124 00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:22,280 Speaker 1: dollars to get run over by a practice squad running 1125 00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:26,320 Speaker 1: And he said no, I don't remember that. I said, no, 1126 00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:29,160 Speaker 1: check the tape. We should check the tape and I'll 1127 00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:31,080 Speaker 1: get back to you on that. But we will probably 1128 00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:33,399 Speaker 1: see you next week, and if not, then we'll see 1129 00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:36,160 Speaker 1: you when we get back from London for DeMarco. Far 1130 00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:38,919 Speaker 1: from my producer Matt, I'm Mileson. Thanks for watching Between 1131 00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:39,280 Speaker 1: the Horns.
