1
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: Everybody, welcome to between the horns. I Miles Simmons. This

2
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: is DeMarco far to my right, and it is October

3
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: twenty fourth, Wednesday, at eleven twenty am Pacific time, here

4
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 1: in Agora Hills, California, where there was a plane crash

5
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: actually yesterday on the one oh one. Thankfully that pilot

6
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: is okay. Everybody is okay. But like that was a

7
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: very interesting situation to try to go home to yesterday.

8
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: I was the plane. Well, if you saw any of

9
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: the news images here, I did. I didn't know it

10
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: was out here. I just got told it was out here.

11
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: That's shocking. I read about it, saw it and they

12
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 1: said it was in California. I didn't check the freeways,

13
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: but yeah, right outside the old facility, right outside the

14
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: old facility. So yeah, it may have taken me a

15
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 1: long time to get home yesterday, but I'm glad that

16
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: everybody was safe. But the rams are now seven and

17
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: oh they have defeated the San Francisco forty nine ers

18
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: thirty nine to ten on Sunday. And you know I'm defeated.

19
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, smacked around, right, I mean, broken in, half knocked, unconscious, stomped,

20
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: I reminded of what you know you have still start.

21
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: I was kidding, No, I always think I was thinking

22
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: about how you've said that. Your old coach used to

23
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: say this, that good teams keep losing teams. Yeah, Dick

24
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: Vermille used to put on the board every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,

25
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: Thursday when we were on the way up about becoming

26
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,119
Speaker 1: playoff teams and what playoff teams do. So we would

27
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: study those, analyze those, and one thing that stood out

28
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: was winning, keep winning. Playoff teams keep losing, teams losing.

29
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,919
Speaker 1: So if you come in losing, you go out losing.

30
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: So that's exactly what the Rams did in San Francisco

31
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: or in Santa Clara. Santa Clara against San Francisco. It's

32
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: really weird that, Yeah, that stadium is not really anywhere

33
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: close to San Francisco. No, it's at all, Like we

34
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: fly into San Jose, like maybe daily telling the people

35
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: too much, but right, why it's weird Francisco. We don't

36
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: stay in San Francisco. We stay in San Jose and

37
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: then we play in yeah, Santa Clair. And I'm not

38
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 1: sure how many fans are actually coming from San Francisco

39
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: to see the forty fans are coming into that building.

40
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: That's true. No, but I mean you took care of business.

41
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: Uh you know, they're down, they're struggling, and you didn't

42
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: let them. You had they got life, they had life early,

43
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: and then you slowly took it out of them and

44
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,119
Speaker 1: took control of the football game and just absolutely took

45
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: them to deep water and drown them. Yes, which is

46
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: what you're supposed to do things like that exactly. All right,

47
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,959
Speaker 1: So let's start a look back with three names, and

48
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna be the same name. But Aaron Donald, Aaron Donald,

49
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald, because that that that's about might as well

50
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: be three guys. What he's doing right exactly. I mean

51
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 1: that he had a stat line that would be shared

52
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: among three guys in you know, usually any defensive game.

53
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: We were talking about nine total tackles, four sacks, six

54
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: tackles for loss, five quarterback hits, forced fumble, and fumble

55
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 1: recovery all in the same play. Yeah. And I don't

56
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: think his heart rate changed, his pulse rate changed. I mean,

57
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: it's he's this is what he's built to do. This

58
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: is what he's supposed to do. I heard somebody or

59
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: read somewhere that he was described as a wrecking ball.

60
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: That's exactly what he was. I mean, he was there

61
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: to do one thing, ruin everything they were trying to do. Yeah. Yeah,

62
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: So whatever play they had run and they had some

63
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: nice plays going, but the one thing you could not

64
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: do that stopped everything was you couldn't keep ninety nine

65
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: out of the backfield. Nope. Yeah, it was tough to

66
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: move the football when he's playing like that. Yeah, I mean,

67
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: like I said, anytime you're seeing six tackles for laws,

68
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: which is a career high from me. And this was

69
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: a career day for Aaron Donald and in any respect, right,

70
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: he just received NFC Defensive Player of the Week for

71
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: his performance, which I mean, duh, right, Like if you

72
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: can have a better day than he had like against

73
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers there, I want to see it

74
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: because I don't. I don't know how that happens. No, no, no,

75
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: I mean of the week. Definitely. There was there was

76
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: no one better on Sunday, Monday, thursdays that week. There

77
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: was no one better on defense regardless opposition, that played

78
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: better than Aaron Donald. Was that the best game you've

79
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: seen him play by far? Yeah? Absolutely? Now he's been

80
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: he's been disruptive. I mean, he's ruined a lot of

81
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: good game plans, but I mean to actually disrupt and

82
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: then make the plays on top of it and almost

83
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: call your shot towards the end. I mean I saw something.

84
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm big on body language. When you see

85
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: a guy get beat by Aaron Donald for the fourth

86
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: time and he just stays on the ground looking at

87
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: the grass, like why am I here? You know, like

88
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: this is this is impossible, this is incredible. It was

89
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: one of the few times, and it happens rarely, but

90
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: the few times where I felt bad for the opposing

91
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: quarterback stop throwing the ball, really go someplace else because

92
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: they can't stop him. And if you keep dropping him back,

93
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: he's going to get hit. And you have a long

94
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: season left to play and this game is over. Yes, yeah,

95
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: And it was kind of funny. I mean, the Rams

96
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: did remove most of their starters toward the beginning slash

97
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: middle of that fourth quarter. But then when third down happened,

98
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 1: and I think it was a third down in five

99
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: minutes where Tomald got his fourth and final sack that like,

100
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: he came back on the field. Brockers came back on

101
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: the field and it's just you probably as an offensive

102
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: line you're thinking, I thought we were done with this. Man.

103
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: It's the numbers, man, I mean that's we were just

104
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:23,239
Speaker 1: having this discussion about deactivating seven and possibly expanding the roster.

105
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: I mean at some point on the offensive side, you'd

106
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: love to be able to take Andrew Worth out of

107
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: that game, yes, but you can't because of the numbers. Right,

108
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: you were short at offensive line. Well, tackle was the

109
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: same way and Don mckinsoue had to finish the game. Yes,

110
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald came back in spot duty. Well, if you

111
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 1: had a true too deep, I doubt those guys will

112
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 1: be out there. But this is the pay league, and

113
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: you get paid for numbers you do. Yeah, and there's

114
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: no sympathy. So if you're just allowing sacks at an

115
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: alarming rate, don't be surprised if the best pass rushers

116
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: still line up if there's time on the clock. And

117
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: what was funny about that game. I mean Aaron Donald

118
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: literally doubled his number of seas in the season in

119
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 1: that game. So I think we said that in here

120
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 1: when he was when they weren't getting sacks, I said, look,

121
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: he yeah, he'll he'll get a three four sack game

122
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: like that, and he'll be right there. Now he's got

123
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: eight sacks in seven games. Yeah, and he's leading the league, right,

124
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: that's how fast it happens with guys like him. So

125
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: not only is he leading the league, but he's coming

126
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: for you de far for the oh the season total, yeah, yeah,

127
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: season total. He's coming. I mean he should have gotten

128
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: in last year. So if you guys don't know this,

129
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: and I don't know that people do know this, well

130
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna tell him. Oh hell yeah, I'm gonna tell

131
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: him because I'm sitting next to the franchise singles season

132
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: record holder in sacks for a defensive tackle. Yes, by

133
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: a whole half a sack. Yeah, Well that he's coming

134
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: for you. That will change really really quick. I saw

135
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: him on the way out of the building in Levi Stadium,

136
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: and you know he was It's Aaron. I mean that's

137
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 1: what his pulse never changed. This is what he does.

138
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,559
Speaker 1: He's not gonna get too hired, too low about anything,

139
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 1: but just watching the other people watch him like that

140
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: was Aaron Donald. He's got nobody fat. This is what

141
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: they're saying, Like, you know, and he walked by. I

142
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: mean I said, dude, can you leave me one record?

143
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: Just one? You know, he looks a ghost. No, it

144
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: keeps going, you know. Oh well that's the way it goes. Yeah. Yeah,

145
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: records are meant to be broken, that's right. Kind for

146
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: a long time, that's right. And whatever record he says,

147
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: it's it's been twenty plus years. I think his will

148
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: last longer, maybe even forever, because I don't think he's

149
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: done by a long shot. I don't think he's done

150
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: right well. And I think if you have eight and

151
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: you've got still basically you've got half the season plus

152
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: one left. I think, you know, barn injury, you know,

153
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: knock on wood or whatever like that, that thing's gonna

154
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: come down this year. One more thing I'd like to

155
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: throw out to mister Donald and his fans. He has

156
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: an offense that scores thirty five points a game, right, yeah,

157
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: just saying right, yeah, yeah, So that helps absolutely. Well,

158
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: it's it's one of the situations where and this is

159
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: what you're going for, but like you, because of that,

160
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: it means that the past rushers can pin their ears

161
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: back and then go right, and that's not necessarily been

162
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: the case in situations in the past that Aaron Donald

163
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: has played well. True. I mean you have to take

164
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: care of business early. I mean everyone has a plan

165
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: in San Francisco has a great game plan. I think

166
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: they scored on their first possession and I don't know,

167
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: four or five straight games or something like that, so

168
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: they have a great plan to begin. But you have

169
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: to earn the right to rush the passer by stopping

170
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: the run, yes, killing the game plan, and then letting

171
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: Jared Goff Todd Gurley do their business, put points on

172
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: the board, and then all of a sudden it's all passed.

173
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 1: Go get yourself right. Yeah, And that's that's the way

174
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: they always talk about it in the locker room. And

175
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: it was before the Broncos game, you know, because they

176
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: came in they were averaging I think over five and

177
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,719
Speaker 1: a half yards to carry, right, and the Rams were

178
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: giving up four point nine yards of carry. So somebody

179
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: asked Aaron Donald in the locker room, Okay, how do

180
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: you have to stop case Keenum And what he said was, no,

181
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: we have to stop the run first before we even

182
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: even think about that, because we haven't been stopping the run.

183
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: And the only way to earn the right to rush

184
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: the passer is to stop the run. And so now

185
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: the Rams have done a good job of that in

186
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: two straight games, and that's why they've been able to

187
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: get after the pastor like they have. I like the

188
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: way they've been tackling, especially. I love this Mark Baron. Yeah,

189
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 1: this is the Mark Barron we all know and love.

190
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: This is the guy that's a difference maker in the game.

191
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: But great tackling. When they run the ball at you

192
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: and you are singled up, you are the free hitter,

193
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: and you've got to make that play. If it's for

194
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: a plus one or zero, you've got to make it there.

195
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: If the guy spends off, bounces off, falls forward for

196
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: three or four yards, now it's second and six, they

197
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: have a chance to cut that third down even shorter,

198
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: which negates your pass rush a little bit. So if

199
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: you make the tackles when they come to you, now

200
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: it's second and nine. Now it's third and ten. Now

201
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: let's get after the quarterbacks, so earn the right to

202
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: get there. What's been interesting is sort of hearing the

203
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: Rams offense talk about certain plays or down in distances.

204
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,719
Speaker 1: So the way the Rams offense always talks about it

205
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: is okay, if we're in second and maybe eight or longer. Right,

206
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: They always called those get back on track plays, So

207
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: that's where you always want the offense to be is

208
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: in second and get back on track. So that then

209
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: that means that basically you've done a good job of

210
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: either stopping the run of forcing an incompletion on first down.

211
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: And if you can even get after the passer on

212
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: second down, well then you've just put them in even

213
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: third and longer, no doubt. So that's these things all

214
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: work together, they work hand in hand. That's well, you

215
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: have to be successful on early downs in order to

216
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 1: get that stuff on third down. You know you're a

217
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: baseball fan. Hitters count, pitchers count, Yes, second and two.

218
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: What call do you make as a defensive coordinator? You

219
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: got a big question. You're just you're just holding on

220
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: with both hands exactly, because the entire playbook is open. Absolutely,

221
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: there's so much they can do. They can take a

222
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: shout at you because they feel they have a third

223
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: and two in the pocket. So you never know. So

224
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: if you stop it on first and ten and make

225
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: them go the hard road, eventually, eventually you're gonna wind

226
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: up right in Aaron Donald's wheelhouse exactly, and you're gonna

227
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 1: he's gonna have you right where he wants you right.

228
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: When you look at film of him, I mean, what

229
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 1: does he do that's so special? And I ask you

230
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,839
Speaker 1: this because you played the positions and there are things

231
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: that I see and there's sure, I'm sure things that fancy,

232
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: But like from that spot where from where you sick?

233
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: What is it that makes him so spe Okay? This

234
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: is when it goes right over his head. Have you

235
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: heard of the movie Blade, I've heard, okay, the Wesley

236
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: Snipes movie of the franchise. He's a vampire hunter. All

237
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: their strengths and none of their weaknesses. That's Aaron Donald. Okay.

238
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: He's as strong as any offensive linemen in the world.

239
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: Most offensive linemen are stronger than the guys across from

240
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: them on the defensive side. Yes, that's because they're big.

241
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: That's what they do. They lift weights. They're huge at

242
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: three hundred and forty pounds. So with Aaron it's different.

243
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: He's quicker, he's faster, he's toward eighty five pounds. But

244
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: he's also twice as strong as you. Yes, So it's

245
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: damned if you do, damned if you don't. If you

246
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 1: give him a soft set he's gonna run your ass

247
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: right back to the quarterback. If you give him a

248
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: hard set, he's gonna be by you. Yeah, he's got

249
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: great technique. You've seen him working with the Knives. Yeah,

250
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: in the off season. He's got great technique. Guys. But

251
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: that's well, watch the game. Watch the next couple of weeks.

252
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: See how many times he actually hits the ground, meaning

253
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: see how many times actually, like an offensive lineman can

254
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: put him on the ground, either throw him, trip him,

255
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 1: do what have you. He doesn't hit the deck that much.

256
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: He's always active in the play. That's hard to teach.

257
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 1: That's hard to do out there in the NFL. So

258
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: he's always viable. He's strong, he's quick, and he's smart. Right. Yeah,

259
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: if you send him a new blocking scheme or a

260
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: new protection scheme, once he sees it once, he's gonna

261
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: beat it the next time. That's when you see the

262
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 1: the the body sack that called it. When he throws

263
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: the center into the quarterback. They brought the slide to him,

264
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: so he jumps in the a gap fast before the

265
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: center can react and then throws him into the quarterback

266
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: and makes the play. Right. Yeah, I mean, you just

267
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: don't see that. No often, yeah, don't. You don't often

268
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: see like quarterbacks being run over by their own centers

269
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: from you know, every Yeah, I mean, and if you do,

270
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: usually the guy's six seven three twenty five, not six

271
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: feet two eighty five, right exactly? Was the strip play

272
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: more impressive to you then that center play where he

273
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: just pushes you know? There's there's like over the years,

274
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: he going all the way back to Pop Warner when

275
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: I first fell in love with the game. Everybody has this.

276
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: You have few memories that stay with you. You can

277
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: just close your eyes and you can see those plays.

278
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: That one will stay in my head forever where the

279
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: strip the strip sack because of how he did it

280
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: and how fast it was and it was only one step.

281
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: It was all in one motion, ripped the ball out

282
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,719
Speaker 1: and I'm laying with it. Actually he could have got

283
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: up and run, probably could, but it was too quick

284
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: for the officials. They didn't know he had it. Nobody

285
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: knew he had it, That's what I mean. Did you

286
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: know he had it? Like? Where were you standing when

287
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: that play happened. I'm about twenty yards away, but I

288
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: had a good shot at it. I saw Brita the

289
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 1: running back, go into the hole and all of a

290
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: sudden get up and start looking for the football or

291
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 1: start like clawing for it, like did he drop it?

292
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: Do the Rams have it? And then Donald stood up

293
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: with it. I knew he ripped it out. I didn't

294
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: know he ripped it out and kept it. Yeah, that's amazing. Yeah,

295
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's Lawrence Taylor type stuff. It is. Yeah,

296
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 1: that right there, And I know this is We're a

297
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: long way from here from where I'm going with this,

298
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: but that will be on a Hall of Fame highlight video.

299
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 1: That play there should be. It will be, no doubt

300
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: you when have you ever seen that play? I've never

301
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 1: seen that happen, That's what I'm honest. I've never seen

302
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: that happen. And that was the funny thing. I mean,

303
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: you're much much much closer to the action than I am,

304
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: especially because I'm in the press box, but especially in

305
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: m Levi's stadium that the press box is the highest

306
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: level and where all the writing press sits is on

307
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: basically the far right corner if you will, of that level.

308
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: So because of that, like you really can't see much

309
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: from like a play to play perspective of like Okay,

310
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: this is happening exactly with the role. Like, the nice

311
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: thing about it to me, at least in Levi's is

312
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: that you're high enough that you can really see everything

313
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: and you can really see plays. Yes, it's like, well, yeah,

314
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: it's exactly that. It's like watching all twenty two but live.

315
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: I find that to be cool. But when that play happened,

316
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: I had no idea whatsoever. Nobody knew in the press

317
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: box there was something had happened. There were four officials

318
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: within five yards of it, and they didn't know. Right,

319
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: that's how fast it was. And on the and all

320
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: those officials had twenty years experience or more. Yeah, they've

321
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: never seen anything exactly. Yeah, that's amazing. It was. It

322
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: was amazing to see that. And then on the TV broadcast,

323
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: nobody figured it out. Yeah, so they even they ran

324
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: a graphically two quarterbacks, Yeah we're watching it back, Yeah,

325
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: of CJ. Bethard and Jimmy Garoppolo, and they were still

326
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: talking and all of a sudden, I guess it was

327
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: Kevin Holland's like, I guess the rams have it. And

328
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: then they had to show a replay. Right. The funny

329
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: thing is so um one of our writing in turned

330
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,359
Speaker 1: Clarence Dennis. So he and I are in constant communication

331
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: during the game because he's not in the press box

332
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: with me when we're on the road, and so he

333
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: texted me, I think Aaron's just stripped that. I think

334
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: I'm the only person who saw that. And I'm like,

335
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: what are you talking about? And then they finally showed

336
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: the replay and then they announced like, I like, yeah,

337
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: the Rams have it. I was like, that's amazing. Well

338
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: when had happened? I had to pull the mic away

339
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: from my face because I don't have a dump right

340
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: because an expletive came out. Holy blank Yeah. So they're

341
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: going on with the play and I'm like, guys, I

342
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: think he got the football? Yeah, you know, and sure

343
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: enough he did. It's just wow. Derek Thomas god rest

344
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: is soul one of the best to getting the ball out.

345
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: But that was quarterbacks. Lawrence Taylor would get the ball out.

346
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: Leonard Little who used to play here, would get the

347
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: ball out, but never like that, right, never against running

348
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: backs like that. That was just phenomenal, amazing. It's funny

349
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: that you you brought up Lawrence Taylor now twice and

350
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: we're not necessarily going to make this comparison, but Bill

351
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: Belichick even last week was like, no, we don't compare

352
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: people to Lawrence. Yeah that was Khalil mackin Yeah lt

353
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: And it's and it's true. But like when you're talking

354
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: about Aaron Donald and what he does kind of on

355
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: a week to week basis, it was funny. Nick Wagner

356
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: had this tweet and night I copied and pasted it,

357
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: but he said after the game, Aaron Donald's stat line

358
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: is not even from a video game, because there's no

359
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: way to dominate to that level on defense in a

360
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: video game when you have nine tackles, four sacks, six

361
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: tas for lost in five qb hits video game. Aaron

362
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: Donald is jealous of real Aaron Donald. No, I mean,

363
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: that's the stat line you may see from a guy

364
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 1: in high school where it's a man among boys, not

365
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: at the pro level where everybody is out there getting

366
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: paid exactly. Yeah, that's that's head and shoulders above everyone else. Yeah, tremendous.

367
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: So it just go all the way back to the

368
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: people that tried to start that little online nonsense about

369
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: the rams overpaid. Remember that when we were getting weeks ago.

370
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: Let me do, let me yes, let me do the

371
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: whole Colgan now okay, quiet right, Yeah, well he's been

372
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: that guy. Sometimes the numbers don't fall, but he's always

373
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,479
Speaker 1: been that disruptive. So now he's getting to the rock,

374
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 1: right Yeah. And so again you're not going to see

375
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 1: a defensive tackle get four sacks, and he came very often,

376
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: so you gotta appreciate it when that and still remain humble. Right,

377
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: come on, man, I mean look, if anybody gets four sacks,

378
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: that's caused a party. Yeah, that's a big deal him.

379
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: Okay you next week, Yeah, he'll get four more. Yeah.

380
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: You know what he says, I still have stuff to

381
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 1: clean up, right, right, right, that's what I'm saying exactly.

382
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 1: That's okay, yeah, yeah, sign the right guys. Right. So

383
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: that that takeaway we we just spent a lot of

384
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,679
Speaker 1: time on from Aaron Donald was one of four takeaways

385
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: from the Rams defense. Troy Hills, by the way, yes, yeah,

386
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask what was your next most impressive

387
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: Troy Hill because of the bounce back, you know, attacked

388
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: versus Denver. Yeah, came right back, stayed with it and

389
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: got one against San Francisco the next week. I thought

390
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 1: it was tremendous read the route, there was pressure quarterback

391
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: through it where he thought he could make a play.

392
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: Troy Hill step right in front. That is a great play.

393
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: That's how you turn games around, That's how you turn

394
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: drives around. That's right, great play by Troy it was,

395
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: and it was actually Troy Hill's first career interception, which

396
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: is somewhat hard to believe given how long he's been

397
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: around and the amount that he's had to play m

398
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: sort of as this reserve corner roll. But I thought

399
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: what you said is absolutely correct. You see the bounce

400
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 1: back by Troy Hill, and then asking Sean McVay about that,

401
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: said he was really pleased. And it's so that they

402
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: had any less confidence in Troy Hill, but just to

403
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 1: see him go out and execute that, it does mean

404
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: something for sure. Absolutely. Look, there's a long way to

405
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: go and they have the grand design of where they

406
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 1: want to go, So this is not time to pout. Yeah,

407
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: you're gonna make plays, You're gonna give up plays in

408
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 1: this league. You're gonna have to attack him the same way.

409
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: Move on one snapping clear. I thought that was tremendous.

410
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: I agree, But the John Johnson interception that was a handoff.

411
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 1: That was a handoff by a forty nine. Yeah, he

412
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: had no business picking that thing on. Yeah, yeah, it

413
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 1: was good coverage. He was right there with him and

414
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: that guy was having a field day? Was that Kittle?

415
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: Kittle of the tight end who was going to be

416
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 1: a problem for years. Oh yeah, he's going to be

417
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 1: a problem. But he's right there. It should have been

418
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: a catch. Maybe flipped it over to John Johnson right there.

419
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: I thought the body control to roll over and keep possession.

420
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 1: Great excellent football, tremendous um. John Johnson, I think is

421
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: doing an excellent job this season. And you know, here's

422
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: somebody that we talk about two straight games now within

423
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: interception too. But that is a play where he stuck

424
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: with it because at first he does he tips the ball,

425
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 1: then Kittle kind of has it, and then like somehow

426
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: however it is John Johnson sticks with the play, stays fighting,

427
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: gets his arm in there and is able to rip

428
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: it out. That's two guys just going forward. Yeah, I mean, look,

429
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: ball don't lie, you know what I mean? Two guys

430
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: going forward and one guy ended up with it. It

431
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: was huge. I mean that could have been a reception,

432
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: but in theory it should have been. It should have

433
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: been and it turned out to be an interception. Great

434
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 1: for the Rams, But you know, he's he's been great.

435
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of the stuff that gets talked about,

436
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: the wow plays, that's fine, But what this guy does

437
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 1: is all the little stuff to keep the defense on us,

438
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 1: lining guys up, being that extra linebacker in the box,

439
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: not turning down a hit, whether it's a guard, a fullback,

440
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: or the tailback coming out of the backfield. Yeah, he's

441
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: a complete safety. Yeah. Yeah, one more guy on defense.

442
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: Definitely want to mention Corey Littleton oh Man. And it's

443
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: just the defense, the special teams. As you get out

444
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: your note here, because yeah, something I don't want to

445
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: forget this. No, I don't want to forget this because

446
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: just because we don't talk about guys don't it doesn't

447
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 1: mean they weren't great in their era. He could be

448
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: the next Roman Fifer. He could be the next Donnie Edwards.

449
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,959
Speaker 1: We always talk about this, and this the old adage.

450
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: Get your lineman from the Midwest. This is from the

451
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 1: pros College pros. Get your speed from Florida, Get your

452
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: quarterbacks from out West. Also, get your linebackers from out West.

453
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: They're athletic, they can run all day, they're good in

454
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 1: the box, and they can cover, and some of them

455
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: are even Washington Huskies. See. But as Donnie Edwards was tremendous,

456
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 1: he never left the field. Roman Fifer was tremendous in

457
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: a RAMS uniform, never left the field. Well, guess what

458
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: Cory Littleton's going to be the same way. Never leaves

459
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: the field, right regardless if the offense is on the

460
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 1: field or not. You can leave him out there for

461
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: special teams as you saw. Yes, he can have a

462
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: fantastic career. I think he's heading in the direction of

463
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: being the next household name. On defense, what's so interesting

464
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: to me is that they line him up everywhere on defense.

465
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: You know, he is the defensive signal color. But in

466
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 1: his history he's been an edge rusher before. So they

467
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: line him up and they have him do that, and

468
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 1: he's still affective. You saw him get two sacks in

469
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: this last game, not necessarily from the edge. Some one

470
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: of them was a delayed blitz, and yes he had

471
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: another one coming up the middle. But I think you've

472
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: seen him do that kind of thing with the edge rushing.

473
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: You've seen him go out and he's been able to

474
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 1: cover guys. And he's also he's a pretty sure tackler

475
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: and you need that from a linebacker position. And he's

476
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:33,360
Speaker 1: real smart. Yeah, he's a great conductor out there on defense. Nope,

477
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: we're gonna line up this way. Hey, it's it's a

478
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: whole lot of talk. Nope, this is what we're gonna play.

479
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 1: This is and we'll talk about it over there, you

480
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 1: know what I mean. He's great at what he does.

481
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 1: So as long as he's got the green dot and

482
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 1: he can continue to communicate the message that he's getting

483
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: through his helmet to the other ten plus make plays,

484
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: that's a that's a great inside linebacker. Not only that,

485
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,199
Speaker 1: but then I think we have to talk about the

486
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: blocks too. I mean, when you get three blocks in

487
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: a year and technically it's only two blocks. He I

488
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: hate this to Marco one of the one he got

489
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: in one of the games, and I think it would

490
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: be the Chargers game. Yeah, when he got a piece

491
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: of it that only counts as a deflection. That's not

492
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: a block. Okay, So but in my personal record book,

493
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: he has three blocks this year. He got his hand

494
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: on one. Yes, that counts to me exactly that's what

495
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I don't know why we have two different categories.

496
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: I guess block means go backwards. If it goes forward,

497
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: deflection makes sense for the rules, I guess. I guess.

498
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: But but the next time, if, and I'm sure there

499
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: will be a next time, the Rams block a punt.

500
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: But if it's him, if he blocks another punt versus

501
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 1: a ProTeam, you all should be fired the special teams. Yes,

502
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: there's more than enough video to tell that this guy

503
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: can get to the punter, so you should have sign

504
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: at least two to him. That was the first punt

505
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:53,640
Speaker 1: that Bradley Pinyon has ever had in the NFL on Sunday.

506
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I had blocked Yeah, yeah, by by Cory

507
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: Littleton right there. Yeah so that's not clearly have it

508
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,439
Speaker 1: happened to Johnny Hecker was weird? Oh yeah, even in

509
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. But yeah, so, I don't know. I

510
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: think we've we now talk about Corey Littleton a bunch

511
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: because he earns that every single week. But I think

512
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: you're right about him, you know, continuing to make progress

513
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 1: and just becoming that more or less household name. Absolutely,

514
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 1: and there's going to be more wild stuff to be made.

515
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Donnie Edwards was a twenty three sack,

516
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 1: twenty six pick guy for a career. I could see

517
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: Corey going in that same direction. Yeah yeah, what can't

518
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: he do? Not much on the on the football that

519
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: he can tackle, he can blitz, he can cover, you know. Um, Now,

520
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: coverage is gonna be fun. Okay, coverage gonna I mean,

521
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: you've got some great tight ends and great quarterbacks coming

522
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: up that they like to pick on little lineback this

523
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: week and the next couple of weeks. Yeah. Yeah, So

524
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: he's going to be challenged more and more and more,

525
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 1: and I bet he rises to those challenges. Yeah, we're

526
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: we definitely are going to see. All right, let's take

527
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: a little bit of a deep dive here. Um, I

528
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: want to talk about two things. Boy, okay, well, don't

529
00:24:55,760 --> 00:25:00,199
Speaker 1: be nervous. But every time someone says deep dive, we

530
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 1: wind up crying. Oh no, we're not going to We're

531
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: not going to like deep dive emotional stuff. No, okay, good,

532
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 1: all right, small tell me why you love football? Why

533
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 1: do you love stop it? I want to talk about

534
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 1: the Rams rushing offense, because Todd Gurley right now is

535
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 1: leading the league in a whole bunch of categories, and

536
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 1: he I think has become this MDP candidate yards per carrying, touchdowns,

537
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: not yards per carry, but touchdowns yards probably that one too.

538
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 1: But the Rams right now, so they're leading the league,

539
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 1: and I'll just kind of run down these stats. They're

540
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,120
Speaker 1: leading the league with one hundred and fifty three point

541
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: one yards per game on the ground. San Francisco is

542
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 1: number two. Do you know what? They're at No. One

543
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 1: hundred thirty seven point four rushing yards, So you are

544
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: leading the league basically fifteen yards. Wow, in terms of

545
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: rushing per game per game, that's pretty nuts. That's a

546
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 1: first down and a half exactly. That's good. Yeah, it's

547
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: really good. So they're tie full leaguely with eleven rushing touchdowns,

548
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: as are all by Todd Gurley. They also have twelve

549
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 1: more rushing it then the second team, So they have

550
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: two hundred and eighteen rushing attempts to the Houston Texans

551
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,360
Speaker 1: two hundred and six. But they are still averaging four

552
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 1: point nine yards per attempt yards per carry, which is

553
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 1: much much much better than the Texans who have three

554
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 1: and a half yards carry. So basically, like I think

555
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: right now, we are seeing the Rams become a rushing juggernaut,

556
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,719
Speaker 1: and I don't know that that's something we really expected

557
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: when Sean mcvagh took over his head coach. Everybody preaches balance,

558
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:29,719
Speaker 1: but if you could just hand it off to your

559
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 1: running back and have him slamming up in the hole

560
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: for five yards to carry, I bet every coordinator would

561
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, it's the easiest way to the goal line.

562
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 1: But I mean, give credit to the old line, give

563
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 1: credit to Jared Goff and the entire offense, because one

564
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: sets up the other. You just really can't set your

565
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: defense to either stop the run or try to stop

566
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,439
Speaker 1: the pass. Either way, you're gonna get hit for a

567
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: big play, especially when you're blocking like that and you're

568
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:57,199
Speaker 1: running like that. Again, scored. He scored in the red

569
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: zone from what eight yards out this time? I think

570
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: it was seven six or seven yards out? He was

571
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 1: seven or eight untouched and went in standing up. Yeah.

572
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: And then another touchdown where he went in standing up

573
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: from the one. Yes. Okay again, fire everybody, And I

574
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 1: mean that as a joke, but you know what I mean.

575
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: I mean, look a running back going in from seven

576
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: yards out. Yeah, kind of a goal line set when

577
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:25,919
Speaker 1: everybody knows it's gonna be run. This is tough, and

578
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,400
Speaker 1: he goes in standing up untouched. Wow, that's either bad

579
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 1: defense or excellent blocking. I'll lend towards the excellent blocking

580
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 1: up from blocking. Yes, yeah, there's I mean, we saw

581
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 1: it again, Roger Staffold going up to the second level,

582
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 1: basically getting two people. And again he's playing excellent right now.

583
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 1: And I think you have to especially give him credit

584
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 1: because he's playing with through something in his knee. And

585
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: we all know because he went out in the game

586
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 1: a couple of games ago, but he has been he

587
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: came back, he played tremendously well. I thought, give it up, Roger,

588
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: You're never gonna be on Dancing with the Stars. Come on, man, hey, dude,

589
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: you're an offensive one. He's big, smooth, he loves no.

590
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: This is what you do. You're a big ugly. You're

591
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: a big ugly. You know how you can tell like

592
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: every every like Hall of Fame offensive lineman. They're always

593
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the steps looking up because they

594
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: don't want to walk up the steps. Oh yeah, that's

595
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Yeah, so hey, look, give it all up.

596
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: And he's doing a great job to trend us up front, right, Yes,

597
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: they all are. But it's interesting you brought up you know,

598
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: there's two plays at the goal line to be. Part

599
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: of the reason why those plays are so successful is

600
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,919
Speaker 1: because they're in situations where the Rams go, no huddle,

601
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: they go quickly to the line. They don't allow you

602
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 1: time to adjust to whatever the formation is, and they

603
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: just go and you just have to you know, if

604
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: you're an offensive lineman in that situation and you're running

605
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 1: outside zone, it's just know your rules, just just block

606
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: whoever is in that path, right, And that is what

607
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: allows Todd Gurley to get into the end zone untouched.

608
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: And their preparation, I mean, just to know to do

609
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 1: that and to be able to do that without committing

610
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: pre snap penalties. They are so rare with this team. Yeah,

611
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: p snap penalties, and with all the movement that the

612
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: Rams do from a jet sweet perspective and everything, you

613
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: just don't see the pre snap penalties that much. No,

614
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: And that I think is such a good point, Like

615
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: that's tremendous. It's great. It's great coaching, great preparation, great execution.

616
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 1: Like I mean, it's fun to say that he just

617
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: ripped through the entire defense, but I mean on Sunday. Yeah,

618
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: that play actually started on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, yes, and

619
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: then carried over to Sunday. So I mean that's just

620
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: great prep, right exactly. But I do like how the

621
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: Rams very tempos, especially when they're in that red zone.

622
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: And that's another thing that I think it's become a topic,

623
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: and it should be a topic, I guess, But the

624
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: Rams get into the red zone so much, and that

625
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: you know, when it's like, oh my gosh, like why

626
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: didn't you score touchdown on that first red zone possession,

627
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: It's like okay, but you know, hey they got points,

628
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 1: and then like you end the game thirty nine points

629
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: and it's like, yeah, no, I mean it's hard. And

630
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: the Rams are averaging thirty two and a half I

631
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: think points per game right now. They're third. They're behind

632
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: New Orleans and Kansas City. Fine, right so, and those

633
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: are two teams that you're going to see in the

634
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: next month. So that's interesting. That's going to set up

635
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,719
Speaker 1: right interestingly. But however, when you're talking about the Rams,

636
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: red zone will put in an air quote issues, right,

637
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: I think that they're more or less magnified because the

638
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: Rams get into the red zone so often they're pretty

639
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: much in the red zone as much as those top

640
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: two teams that I don't have the numbers in front

641
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: of me in terms of Kansas City and New Orleans.

642
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: But when you're in the red zone that much, I

643
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: think that's just like, oh man, they should have scored

644
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: a touchdown every time, and it's just not. It's hard

645
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: that yeah, but you also see then Todd Gurley's leading

646
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: the league with eleven rushing touchdowns, right, it's not like

647
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: they're not getting into the box. No, no, no, no.

648
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: I mean, look, when you get down that close that

649
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: many times, it helps to have a good running game.

650
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: It's tough to throw the ball in the end zone

651
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: on the red zone very you've got all eleven staring

652
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: back at you, right, because there's nowhere to back up.

653
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: You don't have to if you're in the end zone

654
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: pretty much as a safety or a linebacker, so all

655
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 1: eyes are focused forward. You don't catch a lot of

656
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: guys in man covers turn in their back. So it's

657
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: tough to throw. So if you can run it, run

658
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: it right, yeah. If you can play action and then

659
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: get the ball into the end zone, that's probably how

660
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: you're going to score most of the time in the resume,

661
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: but play action only works when there is a true

662
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: and credible run threat. I think Todd Gurley is a true,

663
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: incredible run threat. You better set you better set your feet.

664
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 1: I mean, even if it's like you see these gaping

665
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: holes he runs through, but some of these other runs

666
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: where he has to make guys miss or make the

667
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: corner miss and then get to the corner, you're gonna

668
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: have to set your feet and get ready for that. Yeah,

669
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: I mean, focus everything. You've got to stop thirty, which

670
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: will open you up for the play action. And that's

671
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: why the Rams and I saw this set I think

672
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: last week, and I wish I could remember the website

673
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 1: I read it from. But when the Rams are running

674
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: pass plays from under center, basically is either or even

675
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: maybe one hundred percent of the time they have used

676
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: play action. So you're not running a pass without the

677
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: first play fake to Todd Gurley, which of course helps

678
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 1: on the back end because it means all those second

679
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 1: level defenders have to have to respect the run. Yeah,

680
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: especially I mean, like again, this team is leading the

681
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: league with over one hundred and fifty yards rushing per game.

682
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 1: You must respect that play action fake because otherwise Todd

683
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 1: girl is going to kill you. What does that ellis

684
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: an old three stooges. Slowly I turned it's the middle

685
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 1: linebackers and the safeties that they catch on play action

686
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: that are in the line of scrimmage, thinking this run,

687
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 1: and then slowly I turned figure out where he threw it. Okay,

688
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: and I was getting pursuit. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

689
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: because that's exactly what happens. By that time, the balls

690
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: all gone and you've already you've taken the bait, and

691
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 1: you have to That's what I'm saying. Yeah, you have

692
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: to because you have to respect the run because if

693
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: you don't, he's out and buy you right, and then

694
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 1: you've got exactly So it's like what the Broncos did.

695
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 1: A couple of weeks ago. We had discussed like, okay,

696
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: will team decide we're going to try to make Todd

697
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: Gurley beat us because we're going to stop the pass.

698
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: Broncos did that and lo and behold, Todd Gurley runs

699
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 1: for two hundred and eight yards of very discipline two

700
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 1: o eight. Yeah. Yeah, So these are the kinds of

701
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: things that are happening now. I think with the Rams

702
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: front game. I mean, look, your only recourse if you're

703
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: playing against this team is you've got to get pressure

704
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: on golf. You've got to sell out to get there, right,

705
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: which is scary because that's what McVeigh is waiting on,

706
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: because he'll put he'll put a screen on you and

707
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: then a heartbeat, and that's what Todd's waiting on. And

708
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 1: they're great at it. So the blueprint isn't dry yet.

709
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: There isn't a blueprint to stop this offense just yet, right, Yeah,

710
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: I would absolutely agree with that. One other thing I

711
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: wanted to bring up in art deep dive, the Rams

712
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 1: average drive star position right now is also top three

713
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: in the league. They're third. They're starting just that about

714
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: the thirty two yard line, and each of their drives takeaways.

715
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: We'll do that for you, yes, exactly. So it's takeaways,

716
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 1: and it's also you know, the return games Joe Joe

717
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: Natson on those punt returns and also the free kick

718
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: return that he had in last week's game. That puts

719
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: them in really good position. Last week's drive start average

720
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 1: at the LA forty one. You're at that point. And

721
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 1: I asked Sean McVay about this on Mundane. What he said,

722
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: is you know you're basically two first downs away from

723
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: being in Greg's Airlines range. If that when you're starting

724
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 1: with those field positions, and that means you're gonna get points.

725
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: And that's the huge thing about having Gregs airline back

726
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 1: that his range is so far and he's so accurate

727
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:33,839
Speaker 1: that you really don't have to worry. You just say,

728
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: all right, we got points. Now. Absolutely, you're always in

729
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 1: range with him. So it helps to have three points

730
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 1: in your pocket. But I mean, look, I wouldn't say

731
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 1: that any coach or Sean McVeigh would shoe a field goal.

732
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: Everybody wants points, but he wants touchdowns. Oh yeah, they

733
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: all want to get in the box. Yeah, he wants

734
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 1: touchdowns and he hates punting. Yeah yeah. He wants to

735
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: stay out there and he wants to score right yeah.

736
00:34:56,640 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 1: So I mean, but having Greg's airline definitely is it

737
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: just it helps everything. It just alleviates a lot of stuff. Hey,

738
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: we can take a shot here because we've got this

739
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 1: in the bag, or at least a shot at it

740
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: from here. So it changes so much on offense. And

741
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 1: remember this with Joe Joe nadson Man, the Rams have

742
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: an all pro returner that's not playing. Yeah, Now imagine

743
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: if he was actually in the game returning those punts, right, Wow, Joe,

744
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 1: Joe's been fantastic. Pharrell Cooper might have put two in

745
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 1: the house by now, probably, yeah, yeah, because that's the

746
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 1: that's probably the difference between you're all pro and a

747
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: guy who has done a great job. Yeah, and is

748
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: right now third in the league in terms of punt

749
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:33,879
Speaker 1: return average just over seventeen yards. What did they say,

750
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 1: he's got pineapple in his diet. It means he's a

751
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: pro bowler. Oh well, that means to make more sense, Hawaii. Yeah, yeah,

752
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 1: now he's got orange in his diet. Anyway, it doesn't

753
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: make sense. A mouse Disney Disney, Okay, that would be

754
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: Joe Joe. Okay, a mouse fast short skinny. It's like

755
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,879
Speaker 1: he's got a mouse on his head. Okay, because let's

756
00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:00,399
Speaker 1: just edit this part and move on. Yeah anyway, Yeah,

757
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,799
Speaker 1: let's just let's just start looking at year Rodgers boy

758
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 1: and this Green Bay Packers offense and defense and their

759
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: special teams unit. The Green Bay Packers right now are

760
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:12,240
Speaker 1: three to two and one with a fun little record

761
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: to say, but they've gotten two of their wins basically

762
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:20,800
Speaker 1: from late game Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, heroics is the definitely

763
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: the term that I guess you would have to use. Yeah,

764
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 1: because Aaron Rodgers, to me is the greatest quarterback I've

765
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: ever watched. And even when he's basically playing on kind

766
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,439
Speaker 1: of one leg, you can still get it done, which

767
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:37,839
Speaker 1: is amazing. You know, he's compromised clearly the knee, you know. Yeah. Um,

768
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: so it's good for us as ram fans, and good

769
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: for the team that he's compromised. It's bad for the

770
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 1: league because every Sunday this guy does what other people

771
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: can't do. Yes, really, I mean there's routinely his list

772
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 1: of can't news is very short. So no matter what

773
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: the situation, no matter what the play called, he can

774
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:01,720
Speaker 1: execute that play. He can scramble out and buy time.

775
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: He can stand in the pocket and go cannon arm

776
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: and get the ball down the field. He can throw

777
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 1: screens with the best of him, he can scramble with

778
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: the best. Even with a bad knee, he can still

779
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: pick up first down. So yeah, he's pretty much everything

780
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,399
Speaker 1: he is the Green Bay Packers. Yes, yeah, And it's

781
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 1: one of those things where you look at it Aaron

782
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: Rodgers has been at the top of his craft for

783
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 1: so long it's almost like you might even take it

784
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,839
Speaker 1: for granted a little bit. But then he goes out

785
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: and then he has that game that he has against

786
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers a couple weeks ago on Monday

787
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:36,800
Speaker 1: Night football, and he goes It's like, you see Aaron

788
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 1: Rodgers get an opportunity with a two minute drive, right,

789
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 1: and you're just like, oh, this could be fun. Yeah,

790
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: it's almost like Brady right, yeah. I remember feeling this

791
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 1: way in the Super Bowl last year, and even though

792
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 1: the Eagles won it, but Brady gets the ball back

793
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: just before the two minute warning and they've got an

794
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 1: opportunity to go down and score, and you're like, oh,

795
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 1: Brady's about to do something right here. And then of

796
00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 1: course the strip sack happens in the Eagles end up

797
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 1: winning anyway, But that's how I was watching that game

798
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: on Monday Night a couple of weeks ago. And then

799
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 1: a you get the Bethard interception and then Rogers gets

800
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: the ball and then they go down the field and whatever,

801
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: and b they get it back and then it's like, Okay,

802
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: now Aaron Rodgers is going to do something special to

803
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,720
Speaker 1: make sure, the game doesn't even go to overtime. True,

804
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: And that throw he has on the right sideline, and

805
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 1: I don't think it was to Davante Adams. It was

806
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: the Saint Brown, I believe, Okay, where he sneaks it

807
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 1: on the back shoulder. Yeah, and like has to the

808
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 1: receiver has to go down and just make it like

809
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: it was. Most unbelievable throws you'll ever see. He'll put

810
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: him out there and only in spots where his guy

811
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 1: can get him or I wouldn't say safe throws, but

812
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:47,479
Speaker 1: the defender has basically no shot to get it, right. Yeah,

813
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 1: it's it's behind your head, it's lowing away. It's a

814
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: tough ball to get even for the receiver. So he's

815
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,439
Speaker 1: been great. The one thing that's been different is he's

816
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: getting tagged a lot. Yes, Buffalo's defense gave it to him.

817
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 1: Detroit's d defense gave it to him. So there's been

818
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: pressure on Aaron Rodgers. He has been forced to be special.

819
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,760
Speaker 1: I mean he has been forced to be that guy

820
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 1: on almost every single pass attempt this year. Now, right,

821
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,359
Speaker 1: let's see how long that last? Right? And I think

822
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 1: the game they didn't win with win that Washington game

823
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:22,240
Speaker 1: one of the ones that they've they've lost. That game

824
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 1: was where you saw Washington really get after him, and

825
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 1: you also saw Washington control the game with the run game.

826
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: So if that if there's a recipe to beating Aaron Rodgers,

827
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 1: it is a make sure he doesn't have the opportunity

828
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 1: to beat you at the end of the game, and

829
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 1: be get after him, which like any other quarterback, and

830
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 1: stop the run. I love he's got three running backs

831
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:47,360
Speaker 1: and to me, they're like three pairs of shoes for him.

832
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: I'm dead serious. Thirty is like, yeah, thirty is like,

833
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,839
Speaker 1: that's the work boots. He starts the game. He's kind

834
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,439
Speaker 1: of the physical back, the BYU kid. I mean he'll

835
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,800
Speaker 1: bring it up in the hole. That's traditional. Eight becomes

836
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 1: the cross trainer. Yes, I mean it's eighty eight lining

837
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 1: up in the backfield time ongomer. Yes, tell me that's

838
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 1: going to be a run, and then I'll show you

839
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,359
Speaker 1: a play action or a screen. Right, He's kind of

840
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 1: the versatile guy. And then when they bring in the

841
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 1: last kid, thirty three, that is the play shoes. You know,

842
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: remember when you had play shoes, the ones you wore

843
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:22,760
Speaker 1: to the park. I like to call them boogie perfect.

844
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 1: That's your boogie shoes. That kid is a monster. He

845
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:29,800
Speaker 1: is tough, absolutely tough. So he's got a three headed monster.

846
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 1: It's a running back by committee. But they all do

847
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 1: different things well, and they all supplement what he does.

848
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:38,280
Speaker 1: So if you can somehow take those three guys away

849
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 1: first and put the game on Aaron Rodgers, you'll have

850
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 1: a better chance to get to him and stop in

851
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 1: the Packers' offense. I know that sounds funny, but if

852
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 1: you take away those three guys first, then you'll have

853
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: a chance to get to him. It's what we were

854
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:52,839
Speaker 1: talking about earlier in the show, right, you have to

855
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 1: stop the run in order to earn the right to

856
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,319
Speaker 1: rush the passer in the first place. So it's the

857
00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 1: same basically with any team that you really want to

858
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 1: do that us with absolutely yes. Do you Does it

859
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 1: sound weird to say you want to make Aaron Rodgers

860
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 1: beat you? Yes, because you know he will. But right

861
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 1: at the same time, that's the only way this thing works. Well,

862
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 1: eliminate that first and then and this is what I'll say.

863
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,760
Speaker 1: If you're Wade Phillips, you have to tell your guys

864
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: to play the run on the way to the passer.

865
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: It's always a pass unless they run it, and you're

866
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: gonna have to live with some of these runs that

867
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:24,439
Speaker 1: pop because getting to Aaron Rodgers is the thing that's it. Right.

868
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna beat you running the football.

869
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 1: I don't think they're built to beat you running the football.

870
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 1: They're definitely not. They're they're running. They're running the football

871
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 1: to keep you off balance. So take your eyes off them,

872
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 1: put your eyes on him, and go after the passer

873
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 1: if it's a run, redirect and make the play interesting

874
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 1: if it pops, so be it is. Do you have

875
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 1: to think of it that way just because of who

876
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:48,359
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is? Or is that sometimes a scheme thing? Well?

877
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 1: The one thing I don't want to do when he

878
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 1: goes play action, right, and this is normal play action

879
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 1: if we're playing defensive line. When that guy steps and

880
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 1: it looks like a run, my eyes go to him

881
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 1: and then I'm looking for the running back, right right, Okay,

882
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: so it's play action. Aaron Rodgers is seven yards beyond

883
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 1: you and you're stuck on this guy. You're not going

884
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 1: to get to him before he throws it, right, Just

885
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 1: play the pass, get up the field. Everything's a pass

886
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 1: unless they run it. You can live with it. If

887
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:12,839
Speaker 1: they hand it off, run it down, tackle it, live

888
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:14,880
Speaker 1: to fight another day. But what you can't do is

889
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 1: let that guy stand back there for four seconds because

890
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 1: he will find a hole, right, And if you let

891
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:21,839
Speaker 1: him stand back there that long, then not only will

892
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 1: he find the whole, I mean he can extend it

893
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,319
Speaker 1: to like six or seven, absolutely, because he has that

894
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 1: kind of feel for what can go on in the pocket.

895
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 1: So I think we've talked about this a little bit

896
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 1: the last couple weeks, But in terms of rush integrity,

897
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 1: making sure you keep your rush lanes, that's something you

898
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 1: have to be able to do against him, because he'll

899
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 1: find it and he'll run out of it. I would

900
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 1: just tell guys, look, you got to play your game.

901
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:44,360
Speaker 1: Be smart, especially on the edge. If you have contained

902
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:47,400
Speaker 1: stay outside. Yeah, but don't take any smoke off your

903
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: rush because you've got to get there. If he starts

904
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 1: to break down, make sure you have four guys at

905
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 1: least pursuing to the ball. If you get him on

906
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:57,799
Speaker 1: the move, keep him on the move. Don't let him

907
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 1: scramble to set over here and stand in the throw right,

908
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 1: because now your secondary has no chance so if you

909
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 1: keep him move, if you get him on the move,

910
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 1: keep him moving. What worked for the secondary last week

911
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 1: that you think they have to carry over to this? Well, yeah,

912
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 1: it's it's easy. I mean, it's it's it's football. I mean,

913
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 1: you're getting that much pressure and your offensive line they

914
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 1: know they can't hold up. Yeah, so I bet the

915
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 1: quarterback knows they can't hold up, so that ball's coming

916
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: out fast, probably off target or to the wrong spot.

917
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 1: So pressure denotes better coverage. Easy. So if Aaron Donald

918
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 1: and company are wrecking shop like they did versus San Francisco,

919
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 1: which I fully expect because number one, you're at home.

920
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 1: Number Two, you're gonna have crowd noise. Number three, I

921
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 1: think this offensive line in the interior is comparable to

922
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 1: what you just played. Okay, yeah, so if you get

923
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 1: pressure on Rogers, the ball is going to come out.

924
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 1: He's human, yes, yeah, I mean any quarterback doesn't move

925
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 1: like pressure coming up in the the middle in their face.

926
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 1: So that's going to be interesting. One thing that is

927
00:43:57,719 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: maybe going to be fun about this game. You have

928
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 1: going up against Aaron Rodgers once again, so that's something

929
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: to maybe mono. This is funny. I'm glad you brought

930
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 1: this up. Yeah, because I remember everybody jumped down Sue's

931
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:11,399
Speaker 1: throat when he stomped on Aaron Rodgers. Right, Yes, maybe

932
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:13,800
Speaker 1: it's because Sue was just big and strong. Yeah, okay,

933
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 1: because I just saw Aaron Rodgers kick a guy, a

934
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 1: dB that got to him, sacked him, I think, either

935
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:23,240
Speaker 1: sacked him or buried him on a pressure. Yeah, stood

936
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 1: over him and tried to walk over him, and Rodgers

937
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: tripped him, and no one said a word about it.

938
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 1: Same thing, right, the intense the same Yeah. Yeah, you

939
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 1: let someone get in your head just saying okay, call

940
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:36,319
Speaker 1: it fair. Now. I don't know if all of these

941
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 1: are against Aaron Rodgers, but Sue does have four and

942
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 1: a half's career sacks against the Green Bay Packers, and

943
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:46,240
Speaker 1: then eight QB hits, two passes defense, and seven tackles. Philosophy.

944
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 1: If I could pick a guy that I would want

945
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 1: to sack Aaron Rodgers, it would be him. Why because

946
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 1: he's huge. I want that body weight on top of

947
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 1: the quarterback. He can't put your body weight on. I

948
00:44:57,480 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: want that body weight on top of the quarterback. You

949
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 1: want him to get a fIF team yard penalty, I

950
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:03,279
Speaker 1: want that body weight on top of the car. I

951
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 1: just tell you, even if he tries to take half

952
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 1: or take some off, that's still gonna hurt. Yeah. Yeah,

953
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 1: that's still gonna disrupt a lot, right. Yeah, he can

954
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 1: break things that ain't gonna get fixed. Ever, I don't

955
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 1: want that to happen to Aaron Rodgers of the league. Well,

956
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 1: then you better start at the backup. Put Kaiser out there. Then,

957
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 1: well that would be a turnover machine, right right. Cleveland

958
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 1: fans know that all too well. Um, when you're talking

959
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 1: about though, I think that the Rams defense and what

960
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: they have to do to stop it, I think Marcus

961
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 1: Peters is going to be a big factor. I mean,

962
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:38,799
Speaker 1: and I'm sort of trying to get it this with

963
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 1: the last question I asked you. You know, I think

964
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 1: we saw we've seen Peters now turn a bit of

965
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 1: a corner, would you say, in the last couple of

966
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 1: weeks since that Seattle game? Oh yeah, yeah, whatever whatever

967
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 1: happened after the injury. I think he's just about through that.

968
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 1: At least he looks like it physically, Okay, Yeah, yeah,

969
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,479
Speaker 1: he never lost it mentally, he was always that guy.

970
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 1: But I think he's threw it physically, you know. Yeah,

971
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,399
Speaker 1: And so that means that he's you can expect him

972
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 1: to be up to up to par, up to his standards,

973
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:08,239
Speaker 1: and I think I mean, he wasn't thrown at if

974
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 1: I recall that much last week in that game. But

975
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 1: you know Aaron Rodgers is going to take his shots absolutely,

976
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 1: and he's also smart. I mean I could see the

977
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 1: same game plan that Denver employed. Find one guy and

978
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 1: pick on him. Yeah, yeah, I could see that happening. Again. Um,

979
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:26,840
Speaker 1: it just depends who would you want to see Marcus

980
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 1: Peter's cover for the most part, probably p which means

981
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 1: they're going to be other guys that are going to

982
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 1: be in one on one situations or two on one situations.

983
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:38,360
Speaker 1: But the guy I do worry about in the passing

984
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 1: game is Jimmy Graham. Yes, he's he's he's still to

985
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 1: me uncoverable. Yeah, I mean, he's not the best blocker

986
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 1: in the world, but when he's going down the field

987
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:48,399
Speaker 1: at that height, who do you have that can cover

988
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 1: and jump with him? Right? And that that to me

989
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 1: is going to be the challenge for some whoever they

990
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:56,800
Speaker 1: put on him, whether Marky, Christian Baron, John John Johnson

991
00:46:56,920 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 1: at some point. Yeah, that that is definitely going to

992
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 1: be a challenge because just because there's just a high disadvantage, inherently,

993
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 1: it's a mismatch, no doubt. And he is a problem

994
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 1: around the red zone, right. Yeah, It's like grunk when

995
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:10,799
Speaker 1: when those guys get closer, the closer they get to

996
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 1: the goal line, the more unstoppable. They become exactly the

997
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,319
Speaker 1: balls in the air before you know it, and they

998
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:18,280
Speaker 1: can reach almost ten feet in the air to snag

999
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:20,319
Speaker 1: it out of the air. So it's it's tough, it is,

1000
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 1: it is tough. Um, let's start into the Rams offense

1001
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 1: because in the last couple of weeks we've seen the

1002
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:30,400
Speaker 1: passing offense maybe not necessarily be as number heavy, if

1003
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 1: you will, as it was in the first few weeks.

1004
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 1: I don't know that that's necessarily a problem, especially last

1005
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 1: week when you get a game where look, you get

1006
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:41,959
Speaker 1: four takeaways and that gives you short fields. That means

1007
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:43,879
Speaker 1: that you don't have to go as far in order

1008
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:46,239
Speaker 1: to get in the end zone. But I think one

1009
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 1: of the biggest things you have to do in this

1010
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 1: game is played clean, because you cannot give Aaron Rodgers

1011
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:53,840
Speaker 1: AFTR opportunities No, no, I mean, look, it's it's incumbent

1012
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:56,279
Speaker 1: upon Jared Goff to stay on the field to keep

1013
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:58,439
Speaker 1: Rogers off, right, that's going to be the game plan.

1014
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:01,279
Speaker 1: Um trying I want to shoot out or trying to

1015
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 1: go into it. And this is funny, man, As much

1016
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 1: as people try to minimize it, golf is going against Rogers. Now,

1017
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 1: think about it in terms of golf. Now, it's a

1018
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 1: guarantee golf will never tackle Aaron Rodgers and vice versa

1019
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:19,759
Speaker 1: their quarterbacks. But they are competing shot for shot. Yeah,

1020
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:23,920
Speaker 1: field position, time of possession, how many first downs you game,

1021
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 1: how many points you score. They are competing against each other.

1022
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:29,840
Speaker 1: So the best way to keep the other from scoring

1023
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 1: is to keep him off the field, and the best

1024
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:33,239
Speaker 1: way to do that is to stay on it. So

1025
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 1: I'm with you. Play clean, play catch, stay on the field,

1026
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:39,720
Speaker 1: keep the chains moving. Right right now, you probably won't

1027
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:43,760
Speaker 1: see Cooper Cup out there. Mcvas said that it could

1028
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:46,840
Speaker 1: be another week and we'll get more updates as the

1029
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:49,880
Speaker 1: week goes on. But I just think that in terms

1030
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:52,760
Speaker 1: of golf, getting the ball to guys like Woods, guys

1031
00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 1: like Cooks, and then I think we even saw it

1032
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 1: last week. You know, Nick Williams, the newcomer. He comes

1033
00:48:57,120 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 1: on the fielding and a couple of plays, Josh Reynolds

1034
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:01,760
Speaker 1: makes a nice nineteen yard catch to get the Rams

1035
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:03,799
Speaker 1: down to the one yard line. You just you have

1036
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,319
Speaker 1: to have that consistency, no doubt, and you need to

1037
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:08,920
Speaker 1: see Goff continue to take steps and continue to be accurate.

1038
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 1: Who didn't we mention in that tight ends boom? You

1039
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 1: want to see more from there? Absolutely, yes, sir. I

1040
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:19,879
Speaker 1: mean we said this earlier. Cooper Cup basically functions as

1041
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 1: your tight end. Anyway, Robert Woods is now doing it.

1042
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 1: But tight ends have to stand up for themselves. They've

1043
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 1: got to create those catch and carry like San Francisco

1044
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 1: did with Kittle. You've got to create those mismatches in

1045
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 1: the medal versus linebackers and make those guys pay. They

1046
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:37,919
Speaker 1: have to step up. It's I get this question a lot,

1047
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 1: and I'm sure you know we'll talk about this on mailbag.

1048
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:44,759
Speaker 1: But it's interesting because when you have a team that

1049
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:48,480
Speaker 1: is still scoring over thirty points a game, it's like, wait,

1050
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:51,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, do you really really need that

1051
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 1: much more from the tight ends in order to take

1052
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:56,319
Speaker 1: that next step? I mean, obviously you do want some

1053
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 1: production there, but I think part of the reason why

1054
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:01,960
Speaker 1: the Rams have been so heavy and eleven personnel is

1055
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:05,239
Speaker 1: because it creates favorable matchups for Todd Gurley, and so

1056
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:07,440
Speaker 1: that's part of why you are the number one rushing

1057
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 1: team in the league. So I don't necessarily see it

1058
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:13,719
Speaker 1: as the Rams are going to use more twelve personnel

1059
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:15,680
Speaker 1: with two tight ends and one running back on the

1060
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 1: field and you take a wide receiver off in order

1061
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:19,759
Speaker 1: to maybe get more out of the tight ends. I

1062
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:22,719
Speaker 1: just think if it's third down, maybe, if it's second down,

1063
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 1: whoever is out there, whether it's Higbee or ever, it

1064
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:27,879
Speaker 1: has got to be able to make it catch. It's

1065
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 1: right point, right, I'm not talking jamming the ball to

1066
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:32,879
Speaker 1: him ten. I don't think you are. I was just

1067
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 1: gonna have to split those targets up that would go

1068
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 1: to Cup between different positions, right, one of those has

1069
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:41,400
Speaker 1: got to be tight end. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And I

1070
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:43,360
Speaker 1: think that that's fair. Look, they drafted Everett in the

1071
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:46,400
Speaker 1: second round last year, and he has expectations for himself

1072
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 1: that are pretty high. And I think even Tyler Higby,

1073
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 1: you know, he's done a great job of blocking. Both

1074
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:54,160
Speaker 1: of them have, right, Yeah, I think Everett has improved

1075
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 1: in that area considerably. But you want to get you

1076
00:50:57,960 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 1: want to feed him a little bit, you want to

1077
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 1: make plays. I guess. I guess people can mis can

1078
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 1: misunderstand you when I say they have to step up.

1079
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:08,239
Speaker 1: It's not necessarily them. Sometimes you just have to call

1080
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:13,320
Speaker 1: their number. Okay, Yeah, they're out there too, Yeah they are,

1081
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 1: They are out there. All right. I think we're about

1082
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:18,880
Speaker 1: at fifteen minutes from DeMarco and parting shots. No, God, no,

1083
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:22,600
Speaker 1: that's it. Fifteen minutes. Why are you disappointed? That's that's

1084
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 1: all we get is fifteen minutes. Is there's more that

1085
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:29,359
Speaker 1: you have to Let's go in overtime, man, I don't

1086
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:32,279
Speaker 1: like it. We don't need to be the Cleveland Browns. Man, No,

1087
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:34,880
Speaker 1: they do is play overtime. The one thing that I

1088
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:38,400
Speaker 1: just I pushed back against and I love it that

1089
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:41,319
Speaker 1: the whole town is catching Rams fever. This is a

1090
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:42,839
Speaker 1: great time to be in Los Angeles when you think

1091
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,759
Speaker 1: about her. Oh heck yeah, Dodgers Rams, Lebron's in town.

1092
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 1: I've been watching Lebron James fun. Right, It's a great

1093
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 1: time to be But I mean the pressure of being undefeated. Oh,

1094
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:58,399
Speaker 1: this is where I push back. It doesn't matter. It

1095
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:02,720
Speaker 1: doesn't why. The only thing that matters is the Lombardi Trophy.

1096
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:05,840
Speaker 1: That's it. That's your goal, right, not chasing down the

1097
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:08,919
Speaker 1: seventy two Dolphins. I don't think any well, I don't

1098
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:11,760
Speaker 1: think anybody's trying to do that. And you can become

1099
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:15,320
Speaker 1: the greatest team ever if that's your goal without being undefeated.

1100
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:19,279
Speaker 1: You just don't need the added pressure. The season's tough enough. Well.

1101
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 1: I think that goes into the one day at a

1102
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 1: time mentality that they always preaches and I think has

1103
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:28,719
Speaker 1: permeated the locker room, and guys have clearly bought into

1104
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 1: it and they don't see like I think the only

1105
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:34,200
Speaker 1: time that being undefeated has been brought up is when

1106
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:36,879
Speaker 1: the media brings it up to these guys and they

1107
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:39,279
Speaker 1: start talking about like, oh, aren't you feeling the person

1108
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 1: that I just don't think that's what it is, because

1109
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 1: they are basically going into it saying, we want to

1110
00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:48,919
Speaker 1: win this week. Our only focus is the Green Bay

1111
