Yeah, 22 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: that's the cool thing about being on the sideline. I 23 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,960 Speaker 1: just walked, dropped my bag and you're there and I'm there. Yeah, 24 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: I don't have to go up to the booth anymore. 25 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: That's that's sort of the hard thing is like trying 26 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: to find the press box from like different you know, 27 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: venues in different stadiums, right, including the one in New 28 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: England where we just were last Sunday where the Rams 29 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: lost twenty six to ten. And you know at that 30 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: game it was a score well, yeah, that game sucked. 31 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: The score is closer than that game really was. Oh 32 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: that was a more thorough ass whooping than what you 33 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: got in New Orleans. Yeah, the score didn't say it, 34 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: but I mean, look, they outclassed you. M yeah, yeah, 35 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: but something it. Look, there's only one story out there 36 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: right now. You know, when you talk about the Rams, 37 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: it's always about Jeff Fisher. So when you got the text, 38 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: were you on bust three heading to the stadium the 39 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: message about the yes, I was, well, I thought, why 40 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: is this leaking when we're on the way to the stage. 41 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 1: That's what I When I saw it, I laughed out loud. 42 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, what else could happen right 43 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 1: right now. Honestly, that's exactly what was My reaction was, 44 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: what else can kind of happen this week? I mean, like, 45 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: let's be honest, it was not the best week from 46 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 1: a PR standpoint for head coach Jeff Fisher. I mean, 47 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,359 Speaker 1: just between all the things that were going on with 48 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 1: Eric Dickerson's stuff and the sideline passes and god knows 49 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,679 Speaker 1: we don't need to talk about that, but also I 50 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: mean not just from the same point of it, well yeah, 51 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: but I mean from also like the stuff on the 52 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: conference call when he said Danny and of course he 53 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: means Danny Amanda, Like, come on, guys, like he's not 54 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: talking about Danny when you couldn't find your challenge flash. Yeah, 55 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 1: that was after Yeah, this is just a lot. I mean, 56 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: it was just it was a lot lot. I mean, 57 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 1: but just think about what the players have to go 58 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: through because we all got the same messages at the 59 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: same time. We all have smartphones, but they have to 60 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 1: keep their game face on. You reacted, I reacted. I 61 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: imagine they reacted on the inside. While you're on the 62 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 1: way to New England. Yeah, I mean, instead of thinking 63 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: about the fight, you're thinking of probably what am I 64 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: going to say about this? When they asked me after 65 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: the game, really, do do you think that that's actually thing? 66 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: I mean, because you obviously weren't a player when they 67 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: had smartphones, but you know, as a former player, is 68 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: that's something that would go through your mind? If that's 69 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: Denis you here, Yeah, I mean it's it was a distraction. 70 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: It was another distraction this time. It happened on the 71 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:33,399 Speaker 1: way to the stadium. Sure, Wednesday, Thursday Friday in Los Angeles. 72 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: Before you get on the plane is one thing. Go home, rest, 73 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: get a good night's sleep. You can compartmentalize what's been 74 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: going on with the Eric Diggerson stuff. Right, this happened 75 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: on the way to the game. Yeah, it's gonna get 76 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: in your kitchen. There was no shock to me that 77 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: the team kind of slept walk on defense early. Yeah, yeah, 78 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: I mean, and then he warmed up to the game, right, 79 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: played pretty well. You couldn't overcome, you couldn't move the 80 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: ball offensively, and you lose. But just that first couple 81 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: of drives where a blunt gets out right and he 82 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: spends a safety into the ground, Yeah, that was no 83 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: contain on a simple inside give the bounces out. Wait 84 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: a minute, man, you make that play of the time exactly. 85 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: Now this one goes for a touchdown, Well, come on, 86 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 1: they got to be connected, right. That's interesting. I mean 87 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: that you would put it that way, and I mean, 88 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: that's that's the kind of perspective that you can give 89 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: that I just can't because for me, I mean, I'm 90 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: sitting in the press box and you know, obviously you 91 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: hear the news and I you know, because of my 92 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: employment situation. It's not like if Rams aren't putting on 93 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 1: a press release. It's not no, I'm saying because sation 94 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: that my employment, my employment situation means because of who 95 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 1: I am employed by, as in the Los Angeles Rams, 96 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: right right, you know, we got to wait until these 97 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: kinds of things are official, and what they put out 98 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 1: a press release, that's what happens or that obviously did 99 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: not happen, And so Fisher addressed it after the game, 100 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: and then um I put it in an article because 101 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 1: that's the way we do things. But you know, just 102 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: from a report perspective, it's interesting just seeing how it 103 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: unfolded and then how the team has to then play 104 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: and then, like you said, how the team has to 105 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,359 Speaker 1: answer the questions about it, because I mean that that 106 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 1: that's the way these kinds of things work. Well, this 107 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: is the last thing you want to think about going 108 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 1: into Gillette probably, I mean, like all you have left 109 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,119 Speaker 1: at that moment. I mean, because both teams prepared pretty 110 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: much the same way for the same length of time. 111 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: So it's all about edge and focus, right, So I 112 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: would bet that you lost some on the way in. 113 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: We'll think about New England galvanized ye ready to play. 114 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: That's why it seemed like they took the fight to you. 115 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 1: And sneaky home field advantage for Gillette. Mean, how is 116 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: it sneaky? We always talk about Seattle and that freaking 117 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: crowd noise, right, yeah, some other places. When you talk 118 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 1: about home field advantage, How many times have you actually 119 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 1: mentioned New England? I would mentions, Okay, I mean, I 120 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: mean I would mention it all the time, if that's me, 121 00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: because I mean, and I'm not saying I grew up 122 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: a pat It's fan, but I grew up enjoying watching 123 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: the Patriots, I always and their greatness. So there's a 124 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 1: reason why Bill Belichick has the record he does in 125 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: December and November and December. You know, they always talk 126 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: about how season starts around Thanksgiving. That's sort of this 127 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: thing that you know comes out of New England. And 128 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: then you have Bill Belichick's record in December, you have 129 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: his record against m rookie quarterbacks in that stadium, which 130 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: is now nine and oz after Sunday's game. So to me, 131 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: it's not sneaky. Maybe to the average fan though it 132 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 1: might be. Well, I mean, but he also wins on 133 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 1: the road. They win everywhere. Yeah, they didn't win on 134 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 1: you know, neutral field. They can beat you in the 135 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: parking lot, big right when you talk about home field advantage. 136 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: Yet you talk about records in the greatness of Tom Brady, 137 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: but that kind of carries over the greatness of Belichick. 138 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: But just to you know, sit there and watch Tom 139 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 1: Brady warm up in the backdrop of four championship banners, 140 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 1: and I'm watching this guy with my mouth open, like, wow, 141 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: there he is. Yeah, the greatest ever is right there. Well, 142 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: I can only imagine what that feels like as an 143 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: opponent when you're warming up on his field, because that's 144 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,359 Speaker 1: what it felt like. So, um, if you're focused on 145 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: the game, you've already lost, you know. So something just 146 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: didn't feel right about the way the game started, and 147 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: as soon as that little inside give bounced out and 148 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: you couldn't stop it, Okay, this is going to be 149 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: a rough day. Yeah, yeah, this is gonna be a 150 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: rough rough day. And that's what I thought. And you know, 151 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: I don't want to say I was surprised that the 152 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: defense recovered the way it did, but it's not like, yeah, yeah, yeah. 153 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: There is a lot of pride on that side of 154 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: the ball, and there's a lot of pride on the 155 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: other side exactly. Yeah, And so I think we saw 156 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: both of those things kind of come to fruition. And 157 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: I think the Patriots offense is going to be an 158 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: interesting story going down the stretch of these last four 159 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: games and how without Yes and how they can get 160 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: prepared to go to the playoffs, because you know, before 161 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: Bronk goes out, everybody's talking about the you know, handing 162 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: basically the AFC to Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. Now, 163 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: I don't think that's so that's so written in stone. 164 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: Because of the way their offense has to now continue 165 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: to go. I thought without Grunt, maybe la Garrett Blunt 166 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: could be the focal point. Sure, I mean for the 167 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: stretch run from now until the Super Bowl. If they 168 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: make it all the way, maybe he becomes the MVP 169 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: and and Tom Brady becomes the CounterPunch to running the football. 170 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: I don't know how much of bad run defense he's 171 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: gonna see from here on out after that game. Well, 172 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: even in that game, I mean, he got forty three 173 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: yards on one run and then it was basically seventeen 174 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 1: for forty forty five the rest of the way because 175 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: he had eighty eight. Yeah, so on eighteen carries. Still 176 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: lopsided scores. Yes, so carry's mattered less than yards. Yeah, 177 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: he's controlling everything. I mean, look, that's easy for Tom Brady. 178 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: You know when when you have to kid, when you 179 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: have to contain la Garrett Blunt and stopping the pass 180 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 1: is secondary against him. Yeah, well, look they're going to 181 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 1: control it all the way down the field on you. Well, 182 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: it wasn't just the fact that the Patriots were controlling 183 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,839 Speaker 1: the clock in that way. I mean the one time 184 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: of possession thirty seven fifty seven to twenty two oh three, right, 185 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: and that is because the Rams had so many three 186 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: and outs offensively twenty five yards in the first in 187 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 1: the first half, first half, first half, it was twenty 188 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: five yards. It was twenty six before Goff takes as 189 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: goes into halftime, and you know, if not for that 190 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: sixty six yard pass that gets the Rams down the 191 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:28,359 Speaker 1: field inside two minutes, they finish under one hundred yards. Yeah, 192 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: in total yards. Did anyone ever ask you after the 193 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: game and when you saw the lack of offense by 194 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: the Rams, did anybody mention that Tavon didn't play? Yes, 195 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: some people did, which I think is kind of alarming 196 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 1: that one of your best players was out and you 197 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,439 Speaker 1: have to get until Thursday to mention his name not 198 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: being there. Interesting. That should have been a big deal 199 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: on game day and it wasn't. It was a bigger 200 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: deal out. That's a really fair Yeah, Honestly, I think 201 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: it was almost a bigger deal that Roger Saffold was 202 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: out in terms of it says what the conversation was 203 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,319 Speaker 1: on Sunday. You're right, the conversation was not necessarily about 204 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: Tayblon Austin being out and what that meant for the team. 205 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously it got brought up, you know, win inactives, 206 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,559 Speaker 1: and then Fisher brought it up as well in his 207 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: Monday press conference. But that was not that was circled. Yeah, 208 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,319 Speaker 1: it's crazy, and no more vote for Kenny. And this 209 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: is this now, I'm serious, this is this is Pro 210 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: Bowl making season right now. Yes, this is your right 211 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: last of the season. This is where GOFF needed you 212 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,839 Speaker 1: and really needed you to step up. And you had 213 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: a couple of drops. As a matter of fact, your 214 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 1: oldest guy is on the field had the most drops, right, Yeah, 215 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 1: Brian Quick and Kenny Brads just and Lance Kendricks, and 216 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: so this is where they needed you to stay. He 217 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: needed you to stand up and make plays for him, 218 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: and you could not. So look, like I said, go 219 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: back to getting that message. Where did your edge go? 220 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: Where did your focus go? Because it clearly wasn't on football. Sure, yeah, 221 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: well I think that the way we saw the results 222 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,439 Speaker 1: of what happened on Sunday, I mean, it wasn't just 223 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: drop passes, right, And Fisher was talking about this too. 224 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:11,319 Speaker 1: You know, you had really really critical mistakes up front 225 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: when it comes to pass protection. Yes, you know, both 226 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: of those interceptions are not necessarily on the quarterback because 227 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 1: as you said, you know, the one goes off of 228 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 1: Kendrick's hands and then it goes into the hands of 229 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 1: Malcolm Butler and then he returns that and then they 230 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: get a touchdown. That's a sudden change. It's it's it's 231 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 1: hard to defend that. It's hard to defend Tom Brady 232 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: when you're giving him literally thirty yards, right, Like, how 233 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,319 Speaker 1: are you supposed to stop a sudden change in the 234 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,079 Speaker 1: short field? Exactly? Yeah, that's very, very difficult to put 235 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: on and is going for a record? Yeah, yeah, it's 236 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: it's difficult to put that on your defense. And then 237 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 1: also you know when you have a guy come up 238 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 1: and then he hits Goff's arm and then the ball 239 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 1: just goes floating up into the air. That's something that's 240 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: kind of on pass protection. So I mean you're talking 241 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: about and Fisher again, Fisher said this, there's too many 242 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 1: quarterback hits and then there's also too many drops for 243 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: she talked about there being six drops, three of them 244 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: on third down. So these are critical situations and critical 245 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 1: errors really that the rams have gotta correct. Yeah, no doubt. 246 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,439 Speaker 1: Let's we'll have a teaching moment. Okay, I want to 247 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: run an inside stunt. You know what an insign stunt 248 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: is on defense? I do, but explain it for particularly 249 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: the two inside defensive lineman, your tackles, so to speak, 250 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 1: your nose tackle, and you're under tackle Aaron Donald and 251 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: whoever else is out there. Your interior guys. When you 252 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,319 Speaker 1: run an inside stunt, one guy's going to be the penetrator. 253 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: One guy's going to be the wrap around guy or 254 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: the come around guy. Right, only one guy is supposed 255 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 1: to make it. Either the penetrator does his job and 256 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: acts like a pole queue and knocks a few guys off, 257 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: so the wrap around guys free to the quarterback, or 258 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: the penetrators quick through the hole that they can't adjust 259 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 1: their protection and he slips through and he gets pressured 260 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: and the wrap around guy takes contain. When you see 261 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: two guys run an inside stunt and they both meet 262 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: at the quarterback, you've got problems up front. Really, they 263 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: hit Jared Goff at the same time on an interior stunt. 264 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: That is something you could take. Frame that little piece 265 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 1: of video, send it out to every high school and 266 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 1: Pop Warner coach and say this is how you run 267 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 1: an inside stunt. You could teach off that. Now, when 268 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: that stuff starts to get home, you're gonna miss everything 269 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 1: else out there on the field. It's no shot. Jared 270 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,319 Speaker 1: Goff took a beating, yeah yeah, And I love this 271 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: toughest no yeah yeah. Just like Brady getting hit. Brady 272 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,319 Speaker 1: got smacked a few times and it didn't bother him. 273 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: It can't bother Goff either. Even if it does, you 274 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 1: got to bounce up. You know. You know, we're talking 275 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: to Maurice Jones Drew a couple of weeks ago before 276 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: a game, and he was talking about being with the 277 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: Raiders in twenty fourteen and being with Derek Carr, and 278 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: he said something I thought, really really was really interesting. 279 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: He said, you know, I told Derek, you have to 280 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: be able to stay in the pocket. Sometimes you're gonna 281 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 1: get hit. But if you get hit and you just 282 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 1: take these hits, man, for like this first year, you're 283 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: gonna be able to keep your pocket presence the rest 284 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 1: of your career. And I think, you know, we're kind 285 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 1: of seeing some of that with Jared Goff right now, 286 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: the fact that he cannot just stay in the pocket, 287 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: but he can elude some guys once they start to 288 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 1: get into the pocket and makes a little bit of 289 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: plays with his feet, find a passing lane and get 290 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: the ball down the field. I love when quarterbacks own 291 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,439 Speaker 1: that spot at the top of their drop, and I mean, 292 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 1: if we can get into that halo, so to speak, 293 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: we can disrupt them. Some guys will run from that. 294 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: As soon as you get into that halo, something breaks 295 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: down in them, like it's either fight or flight, and 296 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 1: they start to move around or run or just you know, 297 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: bail out. But the longer you can stay in the 298 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 1: pocket and the well, so to speak, the better it 299 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: is for your offense. Because sometimes all you need is 300 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: that one step right, just for that receiver to clear, 301 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: or you can throw them open and you're gonna take 302 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: a hit. Every quarterback ever take a hit, I'll give you. 303 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: Jim Kelly drilled him. I mean, knock the stuffing out 304 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: of that guy. And he laughed at me, really just 305 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: kept laughing. It didn't bother him. That got in my kitchen. 306 00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: What do I have to do to rattle this guy? 307 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: You can't well. I mean it's all about messages, Brady. 308 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: When he hits you, he doesn't even give you the 309 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: respect of looking at you. He just picks himself up. 310 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: I don't care. Same thing with Goff. I mean, he's 311 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: doing a great job in the pocket, but I'm with you. 312 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: Running backs, tight ends, offensive line definitely have to do 313 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: a better job in pass protection, not just physically, mentally. Yeah, 314 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to see these things because the world 315 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 1: is coming after you, exactly because you have a young quarterback. 316 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: And that's the way, that's the way this league works. 317 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: When you have a young quarterback, the young quarterback is 318 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 1: going to get blitz. He's going to t They're going 319 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 1: to try to send some stuff that he probably has 320 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 1: not seen before on the field. Now, Yeah, I thought 321 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: it was interesting that Goff said, what are you doing 322 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: in the back end. You're leaving guys open. If you're 323 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: a receiver, you're in man coverage right, Yes, exactly, help 324 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: your quarterback out. You have chances to extend drives if 325 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: you don't drop it, you move the chains, you start over. 326 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: You've seen that blitch now, yes, that's information right right, 327 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 1: you go three and out, Well, they've got you on 328 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: the ropes and you'll never see the next one coming exactly, 329 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: And that that's part of the issue, is that. And 330 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 1: Golf said this after the game. He was talking about 331 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: how it wasn't necessarily things that he had not seen before, 332 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: but it was kind of the way they would disguise 333 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: things and the way that they wouldn't really want to run. 334 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 1: Excuse me, the same thing twice. Yeah, And when you 335 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: have a guy like Matt Patricia's their defensive coordina to 336 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: New England and he is meticulous in the study of 337 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: the details and things like that, it's hard to overcome 338 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: if you're not doing what you need to do right, 339 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: you know, it's hard to overcome him sending all these 340 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: different looks if you're not making the plays when you're 341 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: catching them all, well, don't make him a guru. Guru, 342 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: Guru guru. I mean some of that stuff was just 343 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: based six man pressures that got home right. No, So 344 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: when you can draw up anything or call anything and 345 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: it works, you're a guru that day. It's not anything exotic. Well, 346 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: but I mean, so there was a story in the 347 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: Monday Morning Quarterback from Sports Illustrator. It was about Matt 348 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: Patricia and how I mean, this is a guy who 349 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: could have been a rocket scientist, right, Like do you 350 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 1: know that? Yeah? I guess I don't know. I mean, 351 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: I just I think it was an interesting story to 352 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 1: me because it talked about how he's gone from like 353 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 1: basically graduate assistant. If you Will of the New England 354 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 1: Patriots up to defensive coordinator because of his meticular study. Yeah, 355 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 1: it's smart. He studies, he knows things inside and out, 356 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 1: and his attention to detail is basically off the charts. 357 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 1: So I think when you have that and you have 358 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: that kind of person that's sending things after a quarterback 359 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 1: in his third ever NFL start, and you're already going 360 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 1: into this hostile environment, you already know Tom Brady is 361 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 1: going for the record. You need things to go right 362 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: for you. And so yeah, but that wasn't the space 363 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: shuttle that hit Jared Goff. Yeah, that was Rob Nikovich 364 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: running over Rob Havenstey, you know what I mean. Or 365 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: it was Chris Long. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I mean, 366 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 1: it wasn't anything exoted. I mean, they just had pressure. 367 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: They got pressure. They sent guys, they sent backside slot corners, 368 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,639 Speaker 1: Yes they did. After he did like the Rams do, 369 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: I mean, and it just got home. If you don't 370 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,399 Speaker 1: slide the right way, you know, if if the running 371 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 1: back and the center are on the same page, then 372 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: that guy gets home. So yeah, he had a great 373 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 1: game plan and they executed and the Rams could not match. Now, 374 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: on the other side. The Rams brought everything they could 375 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,119 Speaker 1: after Brady. She got to him. Sometimes, um, sometimes you 376 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 1: have to tip your cap. You know, here comes LaMarcus 377 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 1: Joiner Scott free on a blitz, hits him right and 378 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,119 Speaker 1: the rip protector, but he flips one out to Edelman 379 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 1: and he catches him. Tip your cap. It happens. It's 380 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 1: not exotic. Everybody does the same stuff. Yeah, yeah, And 381 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 1: I think you know that's the one. That's why Tom 382 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,360 Speaker 1: Brady is who he is. You know, that's why Tom 383 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 1: Brady's the goat, because he can withstand those hits. I mean, 384 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: you got t J. McDonald coming after him and hits him. 385 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 1: The ball's already gone though, right let me flip that around. 386 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,640 Speaker 1: Edlman in a nice catch too. Yes, he did see. 387 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 1: Goff could have had some of those type of plays 388 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: under pressure, gets it out to Brett. That would have 389 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: been a first down except he drops it. You're on 390 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 1: the bench. Happens if you hit Lance Kendricks, if he 391 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: If Kendricks catches that, that's a first down. He's wide open. 392 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 1: He that is a first it's a it's a first 393 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: down with a tight end on a dB. It should 394 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,160 Speaker 1: be the lead. That's that's going to be a first down. 395 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,680 Speaker 1: He's gonna drag that guy for a yard. You you'd 396 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,439 Speaker 1: like to think, so, yeah, if he can get his 397 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 1: head across and stop Lance Kendricks from that position, then 398 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: he's an all pro. That's gonna be a first down. 399 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: I'll take your word for it. I'm just saying, no, 400 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: Earl Thomas. Maybe I'm just saying, man, what a shame 401 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,159 Speaker 1: it is. I mean off topic, but man, Earl Thomas 402 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: going down? I hate to see. Where are you sad? 403 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: Because he's a still got to go there? I know, 404 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 1: but I'm just saying, like it's gone. Yes, why because 405 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 1: I want to see Kron play? You mean an ad 406 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: fourteen more points to the score. No, I just yes. No. 407 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 1: Here's the thing, Like and LaMarcus Joyner said this last week. 408 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 1: You know you want to go up against those guys. Sure, 409 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 1: I wish he was as a competitor, but if he's 410 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 1: not great as a as a fan of the league, 411 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, Okay, would you rather face Brady or Garoppolo? 412 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 1: I would obviously Garoppolo? Thank you when you're trying to 413 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,360 Speaker 1: get a win? Yes, okay, yeah you hope. I'll bet 414 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: you're hoping Julio Jones is one hundred percent. No, well, 415 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: I just hell no, I want to helpe he's fifty. 416 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 1: I hope he's twenty percent. I want to see Julio 417 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,400 Speaker 1: Jones play. I want, you know, I want to see 418 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 1: the Rams go up against this competition. I think it's 419 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 1: good competition. And that's that's as as a fan of 420 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: the NFL, that's what I want to see. As as 421 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,920 Speaker 1: someone who works for the Rams, obviously I want them 422 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 1: to win. Did you see the last time that the 423 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 1: Rams played Julio Jones? Were you there in Atlanta? I 424 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,119 Speaker 1: was not, No, not there. That was the year before. Okay, 425 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,239 Speaker 1: I got the Senora's. Jenkins was covering him right, and 426 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: he went on a go route and Matt Ryan put 427 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: it right on the money. So now it's all just 428 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,959 Speaker 1: about tackling him. Plays over, he had a step Bungenoras. 429 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: He caught it. Now you just have to tackle him 430 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: to live to fight another day. It looked like a 431 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,719 Speaker 1: little kid bouncing off at Clydesdale in full gallon. That's 432 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 1: what look like. I don't think. I don't even think. 433 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,880 Speaker 1: He broke stride, ran straight to the end zone, right. 434 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 1: So yeah, if this guy is less than a hondo. 435 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 1: I am happy. Let me see them. Who who's that? 436 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,439 Speaker 1: Okay that's another thing though, who's at a hondo this 437 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: time of year? Quarterbacks? Not really? I mean, look, everyone's 438 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,199 Speaker 1: got their little bumps and bruises, right, but can you 439 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: play full speed? Okay whatever full speed is? And I 440 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,160 Speaker 1: would bet no matter what, like LaMarcus Joiner, a guy 441 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:30,919 Speaker 1: that plays through a lot of knicks and stuff and 442 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 1: still can play at a high level. I bet Julio 443 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,919 Speaker 1: Jones is gonna look the same probably no matter what. 444 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't want him there. I don't I 445 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: don't want to face him. I'm trying to get a victory. 446 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,159 Speaker 1: It's probably too bad because Dan Quinn did say today 447 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: to Atlanta reporters that I don't think he didn't practice today. 448 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 1: This is Wednesday, Julio Jones did not practice day. But 449 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: it's looking like he will probably practice Thursday Friday. So yeah, 450 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: he's gonna play, Yeah, exactly, of course he's gonna play. 451 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: There's seven and five. They're now tied with the Tampa 452 00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers UM for first place in the NFCU, which 453 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: after we saw the Buccaneers, it seems like they've been 454 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 1: kind of sneakily getting back up into things in that 455 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: NFC salt over. There doesn't shock me With Jamis Winston. 456 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,160 Speaker 1: It doesn't shock me either, not at all. Jamis someday 457 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: is going to get his team in position for an 458 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: NFC title bid. Absolutely. Yeah, he's gonna be someday, maybe 459 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 1: sooner than later. Right, He's gonna be there, and in 460 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 1: a one game playoff. I don't care who's on the 461 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:29,160 Speaker 1: other side. Jamis Winston is competitive, yeah, yeah, and can 462 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 1: beat you. So yeah, he's gonna be there. Doesn't shock 463 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: me at all. Atlanta. I mean, are you a Matt 464 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: Ryan fan? Um, you know, I've not watched Matt Ryan 465 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 1: probably as much as a lot of quarterbacks that I've 466 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 1: seen in the league. Guys having a great he's having. 467 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 1: He's really having an MVP caliber season. Yes, got them 468 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: at number three in total offense, they're number three in passing, 469 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 1: their number one in terms of scoring and scoring. Yeah, 470 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 1: he's the new Tony Romo because no matter no matter 471 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,639 Speaker 1: what he does, no matter what you rattle off as 472 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: far as numbers, they're always gonna say, can't finish, can't 473 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 1: win the big game. Well, he hasn't yet, but he's 474 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 1: been close. He's gotten you to a point to where 475 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 1: you're almost in the big game. A lot of guys 476 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 1: struggle with getting over the hump. It's hard to get there, 477 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: of course, but this guy can play absolutely nomen If 478 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 1: Jared Goff grows up to be Matt Ryan, I'll be happy, Yeah, 479 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,679 Speaker 1: I'll big smile. Would you be happy? Absolutely? I think 480 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: all of LA would be. I think so too, because 481 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan's been one of the more consistent quarterbacks in 482 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: the league over the last I don't know, six years, 483 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 1: what did he's in his six seventh year. I should 484 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 1: probably off caliber absolutely, yeah, no doubt. I mean that's 485 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,479 Speaker 1: that's something you can't say about every single quarterback out there. 486 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:39,120 Speaker 1: There's super Bowl caliber, there's Playoff caliber, and there's everyone else, right, 487 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 1: And I think one of the things that they've done really, 488 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,199 Speaker 1: really well is just take the big shots. You know, 489 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: they they are number one in the league. They're tied 490 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,159 Speaker 1: with the Saints with fifty three passing plays of at 491 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 1: least twenty yards, and then they're top in the league 492 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 1: with fifteen passing plays over at least forty yards. You know, 493 00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,360 Speaker 1: speaking of challenges, if you're Tremaine Johnson. Do you want 494 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 1: to travel with him? Yeah? You know what, And we 495 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: talked to Truemaine Johnson yesterday, Um, after practice, he was 496 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,719 Speaker 1: like on one like I've never really seen true Trumaine 497 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 1: Johnson's an excitement. Yeah, that's a more of a younger person. 498 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 1: It just sounded funny coming out of you. Yeah, okay, 499 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,680 Speaker 1: it's the only way I can describe it. Fired up. Yeah, 500 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 1: he was so fired up. Challenge. Yeah, he really does 501 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: want the challenge. And you know he even told that's 502 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,639 Speaker 1: the plan and that you know he would be following 503 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 1: Julio Jones. Well, who's here's the other question, what choice 504 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 1: do you have? You kind of don't have much of 505 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,880 Speaker 1: a choice, especially if Eja Gaines is still out. Eja 506 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: Gaines left Sunday's game against the Patriots um with a 507 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,239 Speaker 1: quad injury or by injury whatever they wanted to call, 508 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: like the size of Mike Jordan. Yeah, and maybe he 509 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 1: gets better. I thought Mike Jordan played well with what 510 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,880 Speaker 1: he was tasked to do. Yeah that makes sense. Yeah, 511 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:51,719 Speaker 1: but I mean, you know, I mean there's there's now 512 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 1: you're on film, now there's a chance to game playing you. Um, 513 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: so Look, every offense is going to try to dictate 514 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 1: the matchups they want. So if Tremaine doesn't follow Julio 515 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: all over the field, depending on what defensive set is given, 516 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 1: at some point, they're gonna have that matchup there. And 517 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,640 Speaker 1: I would bet dollars to donuts. That's where Matt Ryan 518 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 1: goes with the ball. Dollars to donuts. That's an older 519 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,880 Speaker 1: person term, like on one is new, dollars to donuts 520 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: is old. How about that? But here's something. Can you 521 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 1: remember Julio Jones ever or a guy that hit Julio 522 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 1: Jones being flagged for defenseless receiver rule? No, you don't 523 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,879 Speaker 1: see it because he's huge guys and receivers. I love 524 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,360 Speaker 1: this And this is another old thing. Watching Isaac Bruce 525 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 1: story holt Ricky Prole who's now coaching for the Carolina Panthers. 526 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: They wouldn't just stand in front of the jugs machine, 527 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,640 Speaker 1: the ball machine and just catch and drop, catch and drop. 528 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 1: They would also catch and that transition from catch to 529 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: put that thing away, and it was just as quick 530 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 1: as the hands going up. So Julio is the same way. 531 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: He's complete when he catches it, he snatches it, he's 532 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 1: in running form in a blink. So he's no longer defensive. 533 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 1: He's offensive, and he's always looking for the box. Slant, 534 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 1: go route, dig route. What happen, it doesn't matter yet, 535 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 1: he's always looking for the box. So yeah, the tough 536 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: part is covering him. Even tougher than that is getting 537 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 1: him on the ground after he's got it, right. He's 538 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 1: that type of guys, Yes he is. And you know 539 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,680 Speaker 1: the interesting thing though, is that you know, so we 540 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 1: brought up the fact that they're number one, you know 541 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,959 Speaker 1: in the passing plays whatever. So, but the Rams are 542 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,959 Speaker 1: number four because they've only given up thirty one passing 543 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: plays at least twenty yards, right, So that and they're 544 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: at number two. They're tied with four passing plays of 545 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: forty plus. So this is like a good matchup of strengths. 546 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,639 Speaker 1: I think, you know, you've got this. This this passing 547 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 1: game for Atlanta that likes to take their shots that 548 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: can get yards down the field. And then the Rams 549 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:49,879 Speaker 1: have done a really good job this year of limiting 550 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 1: those big passing plays. Well, I hope Quinn plays because 551 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: that'll help. That's a big reason why you can't get 552 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 1: the balls exactly that Donald two yes, yeah, because if 553 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 1: you to get that ball, feel you're gonna have to 554 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 1: hold it just to beat longer, which means Aaron Donald 555 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,160 Speaker 1: was most likely going to get there with quick beats. 556 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 1: Can can hitch it. So yeah, I mean there's there's 557 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 1: gonna be a trade off there. But that's the thing. 558 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 1: If the deep ball's not there, that mean that doesn't 559 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,399 Speaker 1: mean Julio's gone. This means the routes are going to 560 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,199 Speaker 1: get shorter, right, And Matt gets the ball to him fast, Yes, 561 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 1: he does. And you know what, the other interesting thing 562 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 1: about that offense is that it's not just Julio Jones. 563 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 1: They've got guys like Taylor Gabriel, Mohammed Sanou and yeah big, 564 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 1: he's huge. And if Taylor Gabriel is not though, no, 565 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 1: but you used to play, yeah, I know, see Skyscrapers. Yeah, 566 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 1: And what what ends up happening is that these guys 567 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: are so into their system. I think offensive coordinator Kyle 568 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 1: Shanahan has done a really good job with them. Because 569 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 1: once if you decide that you're gonna take Julio Jones away, 570 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 1: they're gonna go to Gabriel, They're gonna go to Snow 571 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 1: and they're still gonna beat you. And that's kind of 572 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 1: what happened a couple weeks ago when they played Arizona 573 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,399 Speaker 1: UM and I'd not forget Freeman, Yeah, exactly, who's always 574 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 1: chipping away. Yes, And that's exactly the thing. You can 575 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 1: look on end pass right, and you can look at 576 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,360 Speaker 1: what they did, I mean again against Arizona a couple 577 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,400 Speaker 1: of weeks ago. Gabriel Head four reception seventy five yards, 578 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 1: two touchdowns, New eight receptions sixty five yards, Jones four 579 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 1: receptions for thirty five. So they're still gonna beat you, 580 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 1: They're still gonna get their points, they're still going to 581 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 1: get there's even if you can somehow manage to try 582 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 1: to take Julio hone Julio Julio had does he played 583 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 1: for the Falcons of the round. I was gonna say, 584 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 1: I don't know what I was gonna say, Julio Jones. Yeah, 585 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: well that's the way I know what you mean. That's 586 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,639 Speaker 1: a function of matter, right, Yeah, Yeah, that is the 587 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 1: difference between Matt Ryan and and Andy Dalton. Really. I 588 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 1: think Andy Dalton in a way just fires it for 589 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 1: aj Green looking for him and then if if you 590 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 1: if it's not there. I got problems. Well, I mean 591 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: that's the thing about the thing about thing about who 592 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: Andy Dalton doesn't have anymore, Mohammed sannew True and Marvin Jones, 593 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: who is now really doing a good job right t Well, 594 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: I mean you just happened to Jackson, who is not 595 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 1: the head coach of the Cleveland Browns. But you have 596 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 1: to know every defense is going their primary goal is 597 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: to stop Julio. So when you have a key as 598 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: to where those safeties are rolling too, it behooves you 599 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 1: the fire backside. Yes, yeah, so that's that's what Matt 600 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 1: Ryan does and they're smart. But the running game is 601 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 1: what really keeps you off balance because if you if 602 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 1: you want to go with seven in a box, that 603 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: guy's good enough to beat you. Absolutely he is by himself. 604 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 1: I mean he's tremendous running the football and receiving it 605 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: out of the backfield. So it's a full court battle 606 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: for a defense. Well, Freman's averaging four and a half 607 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: yards to carry, and I think when you watch their 608 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 1: games you just see the way their zone blocking scheme works. 609 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 1: He can he can cut, he gets to the hole 610 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 1: and then they gash guys and so I think that's 611 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 1: part of also, how they get in position to take 612 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 1: their shots down the field is because they know that 613 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 1: whenever they even if they don't get it on second down, 614 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: you can still either get it on third down with 615 00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 1: your quarterback or you can run it for that little 616 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 1: bit of yardage because these guys up front are doing 617 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,720 Speaker 1: a good enough job. Bring the oxygen tanks to the coliseum. Yeah, 618 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 1: because especially for the front seven, because you're gonna be 619 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 1: running all over hell, you probably will be Oh yeah, 620 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 1: they're gonna make you cover a lot of grass in 621 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: the middle. Well, this is and this is the thing too. 622 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 1: So I mean, we saw this last week where the 623 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: Rams offense can't get going, right, and because of that, 624 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: you're leaving your defense on the field for what did 625 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 1: you say about the offense? The offense can't get going. 626 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 1: That's man, you're so nice. I mean, that's that's a 627 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 1: nice way to say it, Miles. I mean, you're not raw. Yeah, 628 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 1: the offense. What did you say again? I said the 629 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 1: offense can't get the offense can't get going. An offense 630 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 1: that had one hundred sixty two totally my kid brings 631 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 1: home an f I say, what just I mean, how 632 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 1: do I politely say that, you know, my wife drives 633 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 1: home with it and there's another dent in the car. 634 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 1: What do I say? That's your wife at least is 635 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 1: not totaled. Always look on the bright side of life. 636 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: Just help me. Yeah, I got how many yards in 637 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 1: the first half? Twenty five? And then how did you 638 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 1: describe it? Again? I said, the offense couldn't get going? Okay, wow, 639 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,960 Speaker 1: we are in a PC world. Well, okay, we're also 640 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: like you're also in the RAMS studio connected by AT 641 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 1: and T. What so there's a reason I put things 642 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 1: the way I put things. I think they saw it too. 643 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 1: Everybody saw it. Okay, the offense had a very poor showing. 644 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 1: How's that? That's all? It was a poor offensive day. 645 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 1: We're not on a podcast. No I am not. I 646 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 1: like my job, I like eating and slipping indoors. How 647 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 1: can you argue to the contrary? Every would get mad, 648 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 1: Nobody would say otherwise. I don't think. I mean, I'm 649 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 1: I'm telling you're just trying to be a nice guy. Oh, 650 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just telling the truth. That it's the truth. 651 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: They had a poor offensive day, that's what it was. Nice? Yeah, nice? Okay, Yes, 652 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 1: I mean and I'm I'm describing. I'm describing the thing 653 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 1: with numbers and with the words that I've given that 654 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 1: I've been getting twenty five. You can draw your own 655 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 1: conclusions from twenty five yards in the first half, like it, 656 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 1: and one hundred sixty two yards in the second half 657 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 1: because you got a sixty six yard pass in fourth 658 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 1: pound and eleven. Those are facts. I just pictured you 659 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: on a stage in a debate. Debate. I just pictured 660 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 1: you right there. He's really selling that crap. I'm not 661 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: selling anything. I just told me what it was. Wow. Anyway, 662 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,719 Speaker 1: But as we go forward, though, like how can they 663 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 1: get out of these poor offensive because you know you've 664 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 1: lost seven of eight. But I want to drive this point. 665 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 1: You forget the record. No, ten points are less in 666 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 1: the in five of the last six games. Yeah, right, 667 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 1: ten points are fewer. Excuse me as I police grammar. 668 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 1: Police's going to score the next Rams touchdown? Okay, See 669 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 1: when whenever they talk about the next four and they're 670 00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 1: trying to figure out where's your next win coming from, 671 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out who's going to score the 672 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 1: next TD. Wow. That's like that's a that's a new 673 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,480 Speaker 1: turn on like the old Jamora playoffs. Well, I'm just saying, 674 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 1: but this is where you are, So how do you 675 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,960 Speaker 1: get better? Go back to basics and forget record, absolutely 676 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 1: forget all that extraneous stuff. Um because in your mind, 677 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,479 Speaker 1: in your heart of hearts, you're thinking eight and eight. 678 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,239 Speaker 1: You have to be in a perfect world, have got 679 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,520 Speaker 1: You're thinking we're gonna win every single game. Offenders this 680 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 1: thing in eight and eight. But well, and you know what, 681 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 1: this goes back to last year. I mean, this is 682 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,320 Speaker 1: eerily similar to last year aside from the I mean, 683 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 1: to be honest, like, the offense is worse. You're you're 684 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 1: not scoring any points really now, whereas you were scoring 685 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 1: some last year, you never had a stretch of five 686 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 1: of six where you scored ten points or fewer, right, 687 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 1: like this is this is a new Yeah. So you're 688 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,960 Speaker 1: scoring fifteen points a game. That's one point more than 689 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 1: two touchdowns and Atlanta is scoring thirty two point nine. 690 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 1: So I mean, unfortunately that's where twice as much yea 691 00:33:56,040 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 1: more than twice as much. Yes, So your offense help 692 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 1: your defense out in this game. You're going to have 693 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,240 Speaker 1: to score points, and yes, field goals are going to 694 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 1: be wins for your defense. But at the same time, 695 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,399 Speaker 1: you gotta put the ball in the endzone because that's 696 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,800 Speaker 1: the only way you can beat this team. Stop, just 697 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 1: start with no mental errors on offense. Yeah, no false starts, 698 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 1: no drops, none of the stuff that we saw in 699 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:25,200 Speaker 1: New England. Right. Start Yeah, start there and put an 700 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 1: offense together, put a drive together, and put the ball 701 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 1: in the end zone. You've got enough guys to do that. 702 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 1: I think for the most part, the Rams. There's been 703 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 1: some good defenses out there and they've made some plays. 704 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 1: Tip your cap to the Patriots, But for the most part, 705 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,279 Speaker 1: I think the Rams offense has stopped themselves. Well yeah, 706 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,359 Speaker 1: and they say this all the time. You know, it's 707 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 1: about us, It's about what we do and how we 708 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:50,040 Speaker 1: play and all that. Yeah, I agree with that. We're there. 709 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,920 Speaker 1: We see it at practice and we track and the 710 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,720 Speaker 1: same look that they worked against is what you're getting 711 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,400 Speaker 1: in a game, right, Right. That's acute and you can 712 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,160 Speaker 1: kind of figure out where they're going and how they're 713 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 1: gonna put the ball in the end zone. Right, But 714 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 1: then I'm gonna try hold false start, drop pass. Now 715 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 1: you're in third to a mile, Well, you don't have 716 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,000 Speaker 1: a plan for that, right, right, nobody does. Yeah, yeah, right, 717 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,000 Speaker 1: Well your plan is be conservative. Throw it out. Maybe 718 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,239 Speaker 1: he makes the first down, maybe Benny does, maybe he doesn't. 719 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 1: He doesn't. The football play defense. Yeah, but if you 720 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,960 Speaker 1: stay on track, stay ahead of the chains, you can 721 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 1: run your offense exactly, and that's how you win games, 722 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,799 Speaker 1: right or lose them? Yeah, exactly. I mean like I said, 723 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 1: I mean four and eight. This is where the Rams 724 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,600 Speaker 1: wore last year. The difference is at this point. Last 725 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,799 Speaker 1: year they dismissed Frank Signetti and they promoted Rob Boris. 726 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,840 Speaker 1: So now Rob Boris has had a full sixteen games 727 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 1: as the Rams offensive coordinator. This is the time now 728 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:50,000 Speaker 1: where guys, I'll put it like this December for the 729 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:53,359 Speaker 1: polite word, see just say what you feel, man. I'm 730 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,799 Speaker 1: trying to I'm trying to be measures say it. I'm 731 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:59,319 Speaker 1: trying to be like President Obama. You know, he never 732 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,400 Speaker 1: he will never say anything without at least trying to 733 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:03,880 Speaker 1: be a little bit measured with it, because the one 734 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 1: time he did, he called of the United States. Yeah, 735 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,920 Speaker 1: I think the president should set a good example of 736 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,359 Speaker 1: things we should do for him. I'm using this example well, 737 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,319 Speaker 1: and I'm trying to be measured. If you're if you're 738 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,000 Speaker 1: just say what you feel about the offense, I don't 739 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,640 Speaker 1: think that's going to make it around the world. It's 740 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:24,160 Speaker 1: not going to matter globally what you say. This is football. 741 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,440 Speaker 1: But I'm trying to make I'm trying to make it 742 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:30,400 Speaker 1: here at larger point about December. Like there's a podcast 743 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 1: I listened to I'm from Cleveland, That's where I'm from, 744 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:36,239 Speaker 1: and they always talk about how December in Bouria is 745 00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 1: a unique experience in Bouria. It's where the Brown's facility, Okay, 746 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,000 Speaker 1: and it's a unique experience all on its own. And 747 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:44,960 Speaker 1: we know that the Browns have a lot of problems 748 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 1: they have since they came back in nineteen ninety nine 749 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:52,200 Speaker 1: because the real franchises in Baltimore. But um, as December unfolds, 750 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,160 Speaker 1: it means a lot of things to a lot of 751 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:59,680 Speaker 1: different people, right, And December is a time when jobs 752 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 1: can be earned and jobs can be lost. And I 753 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:08,759 Speaker 1: think that is not just where the Rams are, but yes, yeah, 754 00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,319 Speaker 1: it's where a lot of teams are around the league. 755 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 1: And so these last four games they mean a lot. 756 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,719 Speaker 1: And so you have to be focused and you have 757 00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,719 Speaker 1: to act like that because it's not just this game. 758 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:21,759 Speaker 1: I mean last Seed was talking about this with you 759 00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,160 Speaker 1: guys on on the Coaches Show last night. You know 760 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 1: where you have a lot of evaluation decisions to make 761 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,800 Speaker 1: right in this that may not have been made in 762 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:34,200 Speaker 1: this time. And then in January as these things, you know, 763 00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,239 Speaker 1: really start going into the offseason. You know, the first 764 00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,279 Speaker 1: guy that pops into my head is Dominic easily. M 765 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,040 Speaker 1: you got four games left, four games left on a 766 00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:45,680 Speaker 1: one year proven deal. Yeah, time to wreck shop? Yeah? 767 00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:47,759 Speaker 1: Why not? You know, and I thought he's done a 768 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 1: great job all year. He's done, he's done a nice job. 769 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,920 Speaker 1: He's got four more opportunities to do X, Y and Z. 770 00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:58,239 Speaker 1: Tremaine Johnson, Yes, almost in the same boat. It's it's 771 00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:02,160 Speaker 1: it's a proven deal. It is coming back from that 772 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,560 Speaker 1: injury so quick. I'm still shocked by it. Yeah, the 773 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,400 Speaker 1: fact that he's on the field, I thought he'd be 774 00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,000 Speaker 1: back now from that thing. So the fact that he's 775 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,719 Speaker 1: been playing has been amazing. So yeah, he's got four opportunities. So, 776 00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,320 Speaker 1: like I said, Brian, quick too, Brian, another guy on 777 00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:19,520 Speaker 1: the wing? One more time, Yes, one more Lance Kendricks, everybody, Yes, 778 00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:24,600 Speaker 1: you've got four more opportunities. To either solidify perception or 779 00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:26,840 Speaker 1: change it. Yeah. Yeah, that's the way you'd have to 780 00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,400 Speaker 1: look at it, exactly. And that's why I think that, 781 00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,600 Speaker 1: you know, despite the record, despite you know, you see 782 00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:34,960 Speaker 1: the graphics and says Rams though they're still in the 783 00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,799 Speaker 1: hunt whatnot. And obviously the Rams have to win all 784 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:39,759 Speaker 1: of their games and then get a little bit of 785 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:41,719 Speaker 1: help in order to make the postseason that I don't 786 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,800 Speaker 1: playoffs exactly. That's the way I see it, you know, 787 00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:46,759 Speaker 1: And I've seen it like this pretty much for the 788 00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,280 Speaker 1: entire season. If you take care of your own business 789 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:53,880 Speaker 1: things like playoffs and whatnot exactly. Yeah, but you've got 790 00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:55,719 Speaker 1: to take care of your own business first, and the 791 00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,560 Speaker 1: Rams have not been doing that for their last seven 792 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,120 Speaker 1: of eight games, and so that's why they're in the 793 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,000 Speaker 1: spot where they are now where they've got to win 794 00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,160 Speaker 1: these last four in order to have their first five 795 00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:09,239 Speaker 1: hundred season in a decade that was very measured. Thank you, 796 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:11,360 Speaker 1: very proud of you. That's what I'm trying to do 797 00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:13,880 Speaker 1: that I've been trying to do. Just so people know 798 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:18,640 Speaker 1: there's two different Miles Simmons. Well, yeah, there's this one 799 00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,239 Speaker 1: and the real one. Okay, No, first of all this 800 00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 1: one and the real one. I'm pretty authentic. Well, the 801 00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:25,560 Speaker 1: real one could have said everything he just said in 802 00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:29,080 Speaker 1: like two words. No, the real one probably would have 803 00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:34,839 Speaker 1: used some explicit That's what I mean. It's not real. 804 00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:38,239 Speaker 1: It's on air and then off the air. Right, you 805 00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,719 Speaker 1: have to be able to you know, different kind of 806 00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:47,160 Speaker 1: like Obama you have two different handshakes. Yeah, no, I 807 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,600 Speaker 1: mean there's the corporate and then there's the what's up. Yeah, 808 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,520 Speaker 1: you have to you have to know when to hold him. 809 00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:55,879 Speaker 1: No one to fold, I know, I know, walk away, 810 00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,080 Speaker 1: no one to run. Um. Look, this has been one 811 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,080 Speaker 1: hell of a year. It's been one hell of a 812 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:05,480 Speaker 1: last two weeks. Yeah, media wise, m and but you'd 813 00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:08,400 Speaker 1: have to think that's got to be it, right, You 814 00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,359 Speaker 1: better hope. So what else could come down on this team? 815 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,400 Speaker 1: Like if Dickerson pops off again, it's not going to 816 00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:18,560 Speaker 1: be shocking. You've heard it before, that's true. What else 817 00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:20,640 Speaker 1: on the Jeff Fisher front? Can we talk about? What 818 00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:22,680 Speaker 1: other news can we bring out? I don't know that 819 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,560 Speaker 1: there would be much, right, So, I think we've reached 820 00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:30,160 Speaker 1: a saturation point there, So no new meteor showers. Yeah, 821 00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,840 Speaker 1: at least you can say that like you say, meteor 822 00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:38,759 Speaker 1: like meteor media, were you trying to do that? Did 823 00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,719 Speaker 1: I kill the joke? I'll just let you run away 824 00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:43,239 Speaker 1: with that one. I mean, no, it was funny. I 825 00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,239 Speaker 1: bet you get invited to all the parties. I don't. 826 00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,040 Speaker 1: So before we wrap before we wrap this up, I mean, 827 00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,239 Speaker 1: let's let's take a little look around the NFC West 828 00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:54,920 Speaker 1: after this week. The Rams are going to be back 829 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,680 Speaker 1: in divisional play, and obviously divisional play has been kinder 830 00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:01,000 Speaker 1: to the Rams than non divisional play historically over the 831 00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:04,879 Speaker 1: last few years. So the Seahawks, they're playing at green 832 00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,319 Speaker 1: Bay this week six and six, and then the Rams 833 00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:10,719 Speaker 1: obviously are going to go to their building, Seattle's building, 834 00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:12,479 Speaker 1: i should say, and they're going to play the Rams 835 00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:14,840 Speaker 1: on Thursday night football. That to me is going to 836 00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:18,239 Speaker 1: be a very very interesting matchup because of the short week, 837 00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:22,560 Speaker 1: because of where Seattle's playing this week, and then you 838 00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:24,759 Speaker 1: have to recover from you know, being in Green Bay. 839 00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,799 Speaker 1: That's a significant flight from Seattle and all that. Yeah, 840 00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:29,960 Speaker 1: and then you've got to play the Rams. That that's 841 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:31,919 Speaker 1: going to be a really interesting game and adjust without 842 00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:35,520 Speaker 1: Earl Thomas, Yes, I'd like to see what that defense 843 00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:39,040 Speaker 1: looks like without Earl Thomas. Yeah, and how offenses try 844 00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:42,360 Speaker 1: to attack now? But they still have some great pieces 845 00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,880 Speaker 1: in Seattle. If anybody can overcome a loss of a 846 00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,479 Speaker 1: guy like Earl Thomas, it would be Seattle and Pete Carroll. 847 00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,920 Speaker 1: This is true. But we'll see, we'll see exactly what 848 00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,840 Speaker 1: he meant to that defense. And it's still Aaron Rodgers 849 00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,239 Speaker 1: it is. I know they're having a down year, but 850 00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:59,320 Speaker 1: I mean, look, that guy can up jump and beat anybody. 851 00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:03,120 Speaker 1: So yeah, short week is going to hurt both teams. Yes, um, 852 00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,759 Speaker 1: let's hope it hurts Seattle more. Yeah. Absolutely, and then 853 00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:07,360 Speaker 1: you can go up there and then beat them for 854 00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,359 Speaker 1: the fourth time in a row. Yes, how awesome would 855 00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,239 Speaker 1: that be? Final on your saddle to two weeks in 856 00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:15,319 Speaker 1: a row? Yeah, oh man, that would be awesome. I'm 857 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:19,080 Speaker 1: I've had enough of these cross country flights. Man, wasn't 858 00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:22,080 Speaker 1: that crazy? I've had enough. When you finish an entire 859 00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,680 Speaker 1: movie and you still have four and a half hours 860 00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,600 Speaker 1: to go, that's a long flight. You know. It's funny. 861 00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:30,720 Speaker 1: It's like, I don't really like watching movies on the planes. 862 00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,080 Speaker 1: What do you what do you do so a lot 863 00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:38,440 Speaker 1: of time? Well, when we're going needle point. No, basically 864 00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,960 Speaker 1: is the point. I play be Jeweled on my iPad. 865 00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:44,239 Speaker 1: Be Jeweled, this thing is on, this microphone is on. 866 00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:47,560 Speaker 1: I know, see you see, but this is not very president. 867 00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:49,920 Speaker 1: This is what I'm saying. You say, there are two 868 00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:53,359 Speaker 1: miles like this is I feel comfortable sharing with the world. 869 00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:56,040 Speaker 1: I play be Jeweled on my iPad for most of 870 00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:58,480 Speaker 1: the flight. It's like the little diamond mine thing. I 871 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,839 Speaker 1: had like two million points. It's cool, man, Like that's 872 00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:03,919 Speaker 1: what I do. And so I And what I also 873 00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,200 Speaker 1: do is I watched the flight tracker, so I'll listen 874 00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:10,279 Speaker 1: to Yeah, so I like to know how fast we're going, 875 00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,279 Speaker 1: Like we were going really freaking fast on the way 876 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:16,560 Speaker 1: to Rhode Island this last flight. He's laughing at me, 877 00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:18,520 Speaker 1: like I'm the craziest person in the world. I don't 878 00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:20,600 Speaker 1: know that I've ever seen you laugh harder than you 879 00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,160 Speaker 1: are laughing right now. But this is what I tear 880 00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:35,480 Speaker 1: on flights were going really freaking fast. We were. You 881 00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:40,759 Speaker 1: might not have been paying attention pe I know, like designs. Yeah, 882 00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:44,040 Speaker 1: but like when you're in the sky. And then like 883 00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:46,200 Speaker 1: I'll tell the people on Twitter, like hey, like tweet 884 00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:48,279 Speaker 1: me I don't know. You always have a window sea, 885 00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:49,960 Speaker 1: don't you know.

Oh absolutely, If 887 00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:54,439 Speaker 1: I'm flying commercial, I want to win. To see why 888 00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,080 Speaker 1: why you're making fun of me, Because I think it's 889 00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:59,719 Speaker 1: amazing that we get in these metal tin cans and 890 00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:02,799 Speaker 1: in the sky and somehow we also have Wi Fi 891 00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:05,160 Speaker 1: and we're just like sitting there in this chair and 892 00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:08,560 Speaker 1: then four hours later we're across the country. That's crazy. 893 00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:11,080 Speaker 1: To answer your question, yes, I'm making fun of you 894 00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:14,480 Speaker 1: for all that. Yeah, yeah, that's why I'm making fun 895 00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,960 Speaker 1: of you. Right now, Arizona, you're around yeah, yeah, yeah, 896 00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,560 Speaker 1: five six and one right now. They play at the Dolphins, 897 00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:27,000 Speaker 1: and they play at the David Johnson's really fast. He is. 898 00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,279 Speaker 1: He's really freaking fast, and he's really freaking get out 899 00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:31,840 Speaker 1: of the backfield, right He's gonna be I mean, he 900 00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:34,960 Speaker 1: is gonna be one of their pieces to build around 901 00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,200 Speaker 1: for like the next year. He's probably the next kind 902 00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:39,640 Speaker 1: of Larry Fitzgerald. You were like, man, when is this 903 00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:41,520 Speaker 1: guy gonna be out of our lives? Kind of snuck 904 00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,640 Speaker 1: up on you, Yeah, right, Um, you saw him. He 905 00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:46,600 Speaker 1: was a return guy. He got more reps and then 906 00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:48,359 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the guys one of the better 907 00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:50,400 Speaker 1: backs in the league. And I agree with you, man Um. 908 00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:52,880 Speaker 1: It seems like Arizona just grows a new thorn in 909 00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:57,839 Speaker 1: the Ram side every single year. M Adrian Wilson, Larry Fitzgerald, 910 00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,879 Speaker 1: Calais Campbell, and now Bolden on Bolden, Oh my god, 911 00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:06,200 Speaker 1: I know it's not even even in Detroit. He's still 912 00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:09,080 Speaker 1: they never got it out. It's still there, man. And 913 00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:12,320 Speaker 1: then the Niners right now, obviously not having the season 914 00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:15,560 Speaker 1: that they probably envisioned, especially after Week one, which has 915 00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:17,960 Speaker 1: turned out to be their only win of the season 916 00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:19,920 Speaker 1: so far, They've they're gonna have a chance to get 917 00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,480 Speaker 1: another one. This week. They're facing the Jets who are 918 00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:24,440 Speaker 1: three and nine, and they're gonna face They're gonna be 919 00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:27,279 Speaker 1: at the Falcons who are seven and five. The following year, 920 00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:31,040 Speaker 1: you got four wins in December. That's bad, right, What 921 00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,799 Speaker 1: do you mean four? The Rams have four wins in December. Yes, 922 00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:36,520 Speaker 1: four wins in December. It is not you'd rather be 923 00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:40,440 Speaker 1: that team or the team that lost to a one 924 00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:44,080 Speaker 1: win team, Well, you are the team. Just what I'm saying, 925 00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:46,480 Speaker 1: that's if you could pick him right now if you 926 00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:50,600 Speaker 1: could pick you mean the team the worst team in 927 00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,160 Speaker 1: the league, or have four wins in December? Well the 928 00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:55,360 Speaker 1: worst the worst team in the league is arguably the 929 00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:59,280 Speaker 1: Browns or the Jaguars. Okay, one of the worst teams. Okay, yeah, okay, 930 00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:03,680 Speaker 1: the Jets also kind of are up there. So true. 931 00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:05,800 Speaker 1: I mean, like, so are you ask what are you 932 00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:07,640 Speaker 1: what are you asking me? Are you asking me if 933 00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:13,040 Speaker 1: the Jets let's have a bad record? Really, Brendan Mark, 934 00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:16,080 Speaker 1: did you watch the game? Marshall's on that team. They've 935 00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:20,680 Speaker 1: got Team Fortes on that. They've got some dudes, but 936 00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:25,480 Speaker 1: those dudes are kind of old. They can still ball though, Marshall. Yes, Marshall, 937 00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:30,359 Speaker 1: And I mean there's look, there's no reason and there's 938 00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:33,439 Speaker 1: no there's no reason why that team should be that bad. 939 00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:36,279 Speaker 1: Maybe it's the quarterback. Yeah, that's what I was going 940 00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:37,840 Speaker 1: to say. Well, that's what I mean. They're not a 941 00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:41,120 Speaker 1: bad team, they just have a bad record. Okay, whoever, 942 00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:44,200 Speaker 1: I think the next Quarterbacord are is what you are? Right? Like, 943 00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:45,680 Speaker 1: if you have a bad record, then how are you 944 00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:48,719 Speaker 1: not a bad team? Okay, well no, but that's you 945 00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,239 Speaker 1: are where your record is he's right. Okay, how many Okay, 946 00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:53,239 Speaker 1: if you had a choice, you could pick players from 947 00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:55,359 Speaker 1: any team. How many forty nine ers are you taking? 948 00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,600 Speaker 1: How many Cleveland Browns are you taking? I'm not taking 949 00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:00,640 Speaker 1: any clear? How many Jets would you take? I okay, 950 00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:02,640 Speaker 1: that's a fair point. I would take a few Jets. 951 00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:04,239 Speaker 1: I would I would take I would take a lot 952 00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:05,680 Speaker 1: of their guys on the d line. And then you're 953 00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:08,160 Speaker 1: talking about I would take Brandon Marshall. Probably wouldn't construe me. 954 00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:11,600 Speaker 1: Good team, bad record, It happens. That's football. Yeah, that's football. 955 00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:15,200 Speaker 1: There's some bad teams with great records throughout history. Yeah, yeah, 956 00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:18,319 Speaker 1: it happens. This is fair. Yeah, all right, fine, well 957 00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:21,680 Speaker 1: let's weird. Should probably wrap it one, right, No, that 958 00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,360 Speaker 1: was the okay, see that's the real Miles right there. Okay, fine, 959 00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:27,800 Speaker 1: I mean you made a good point. I mean, like, 960 00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:30,880 Speaker 1: there are there are teams that have dudes with bad records. 961 00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:32,680 Speaker 1: But I still I always go to the parcels thing. 962 00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:34,879 Speaker 1: And I've argued with my mom about this a lot. Yeah, 963 00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,800 Speaker 1: you are what your record is except for college football 964 00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:42,600 Speaker 1: with you. Okay, Well, I still think Michigan is a 965 00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:44,759 Speaker 1: better team than Ohio. State even though they lost to 966 00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:46,680 Speaker 1: Ohio State like a week and a half ago. Right, 967 00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:48,640 Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean but you have to go off 968 00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:51,760 Speaker 1: of what the results are too, right, Right, So Ohio 969 00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:54,680 Speaker 1: State earned their spot in the college football playoff. To me, 970 00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:57,640 Speaker 1: if Ohio State beat Michigan, that means what it means 971 00:47:57,680 --> 00:47:59,759 Speaker 1: that they beat the number three excuse me, the number 972 00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:02,800 Speaker 1: three team in the nation. The spot in the playoff 973 00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:07,440 Speaker 1: doesn't mean they're better, not necessarily all the time, right, 974 00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:10,399 Speaker 1: I mean, like, I'm sorry, but all these Penn State 975 00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:14,480 Speaker 1: people who are like, well, we would the Big Ten championships, 976 00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:16,600 Speaker 1: so we should be in the college football playoff, like 977 00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:23,040 Speaker 1: you lost two games?
