So look to 20 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: walk your internet back. So I can see what it 21 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: looks like in New Hampshire. Oh yeah, I wish it 22 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 1: is absolutely downpouring. Wow, cats and dogs My favorite most 23 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: important question of the week. Eric. It's only taken us, man, 24 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: I don't know, two months or several years for me 25 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: to realize this. It's more tamposy than tamposey. Yeah, correct, Yeah, 26 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: why didn't I know this before? I don't know. I 27 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: don't know, my bada what is no, I don't it's tamposy. 28 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: Say her name. It's more of that than tampose which 29 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: is kind of yeah. Yeah, the S is the s 30 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,320 Speaker 1: is um what's not long but more like a Z 31 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: sound maybe? Ye? Okay, it is still DeMarco far though, right, 32 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: that one far two rs at the end. That's it. 33 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: I like it. Yeah, I can't wait, man, this is 34 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: going to be fun. But yeah, never been to New Hampshire, 35 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: been to Arizona a few times. You want to talk 36 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: about a victory Monday, ruiner, just watch that film of 37 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: what Kyler Murray did in the second half versus the Raiders. 38 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: That will ruin any victory Monday you ever had? Well, Mark, 39 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: what do you think it means for the Cardinals, because 40 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: as our game wound down Sunday. Now the Cardinals go 41 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: from down twenty points to fores sing overtime, And there 42 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 1: was a thought there where you might have a chance 43 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: to go to the desert with the Cardinals in two 44 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: at the outset of division play and maybe step on 45 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: their neck. Now it feels like they've saved their season. Yeah, 46 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: I mean, look, they're always going to be tough because 47 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: of that guy you're seeing right there. Can you imagine 48 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,839 Speaker 1: you guys ever played keepaway in like elementary school. It's 49 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: like the opposite of dodgeball. Instead of trying to hit people, 50 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: you try to keep the ball away. Imagine Kyler Murray 51 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: playing keepaway. That would drive me nuts. I would beat 52 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: him up in elementary school. But that's exactly what he does. 53 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,359 Speaker 1: He's always betting a top. He was a tough out. 54 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: You remember that first game last year where he absolutely 55 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 1: filaded the Rams defense. So watching that second half versus 56 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: the Raiders, I'm like, I've seen this movie before. He's 57 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: not done. He's not dead. If they don't stop him, 58 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 1: he's gonna boom. He wins the game. That's just like 59 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: to play him every week. I'll do respect a good 60 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: old number ninety five and ninety seven in silver and 61 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: black there, but maybe do more than rush two and 62 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: drop nine in the red zone against Kyler, Like, thankfully 63 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: the Rams have Aaron Donald to help maybe saw for 64 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 1: some of those twenty second scrambles. I'm not sure if 65 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: you had a choice, man, I mean, that's the thing 66 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 1: I was watching. He absolutely wore them out. I mean, 67 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: he flat wore them out. They were tired. I'm not 68 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: even sure if they had enough pass rushers to get 69 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: to him, and then forget it. We'll just drop nine 70 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: and hope we can get there. So that's when he's 71 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: at his best. There's almost no one that can touch him. Literally, wow, Erica. 72 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: It was kind of the theme of the week in 73 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: the National Football League. Wasn't at Miami, at Baltimore, the 74 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: Jets in Cleveland, even the Falcons at SOFI Stadium. It 75 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: was a week of dramatic comebacks. It was it was 76 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: I led a meditation and this week's Ricky's ram Jam 77 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: because I was like, I think everyone needs to just 78 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: take a deep breath and move forward. A win as 79 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: a win. But yeah, the comebacks across the league this 80 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 1: week was crazy. I don't necessarily think that that Raiders 81 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 1: team has figured everything out quite yet under McDaniels. So 82 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: I do think that this matchup is going to be 83 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: a little bit different. But you're right, yeah, Kyler Murray 84 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: is a scary person to face for sure. All Right, 85 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: So Ricky Hollywood guides her audience through a guided meditation, Stu, 86 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 1: maybe you can guide us through the week's injury report. 87 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 1: There's been a lot of turnover, turmoil, change rosters, ship 88 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 1: shake up in Thousand Oaks there where you're calling this 89 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: show from since we last spoke. Give us the latest. Yeah, 90 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,840 Speaker 1: So just to start off with Troy Hill, cornerback. He's 91 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: been dealing with a groin injury and he got placed 92 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: on IR on Tuesday and McVeigh said that he'll be 93 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 1: back sooner than later. That's just something that they felt 94 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: like was best as far as you know, creating a 95 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: roster spot, giving them some of that flexibility. And then 96 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: Kobe Durant, who's dealing with a hamstring string, he's week 97 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 1: to week to week right now, excuse me. And then 98 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: of course we've also got um the news yesterday about 99 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,679 Speaker 1: Bryson Hopkins getting suspended for three games and so moving 100 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: pieces in the secondary and also you know you're looking 101 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 1: at trying to figure out, you know, what's next. At 102 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: least these rams revealed like some sort of curse, like 103 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: it's our two you're having on? Is that ending up? 104 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 1: And something? Because it was Bryson Hopkins. And then no, 105 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 1: but you sat down with Kobe this week? Did he 106 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: talk about his hamstring? Did? Did he seem like, you know, 107 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: it's on day to day, but he seems like he 108 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: is such a fire to play? Um? Did it? Did 109 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: you get the impression from him that he was his 110 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: show man? Yeah, we need to added that out in post. No, 111 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 1: the good news for Kobe is much of what we 112 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: saw him, including the interception in the sack he said, 113 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,919 Speaker 1: came after that injury. Right, So if he's able to 114 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: do this that our YouTube audience is able to see 115 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: with the injury he had, hopefully seven days removed, he's 116 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: in a better position even going to the desert. But 117 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: we'll see what Friday's final injury report holds. But DeMarco, 118 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: I saw you taking some notes over there. I know 119 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: you're updating. You're two d for Sunday in Arizona. Let's 120 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: start at tight end, okay, because there were only two 121 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 1: to begin with. Now it's just Tyler Higbee, but we've 122 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: also got a version two point sco of the twenty 123 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: twenty two Sean McVay offense. We've seen him as a receiver, 124 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: we've seen him as a fullback, maybe tight end. They 125 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 1: also have t J. Carter, Jerry Pinckney on the practice squad. 126 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: Where do the Rams go offensively this week with only 127 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: Higbee right now on the active roster at tight end? Well, 128 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: I mean, thank goodness, Tyler Higby has been a rock 129 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: for the offense. He can play ninety percent of the 130 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: snaps if you want him to. But you're gonna need 131 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: a backup. You're gonna need that extra tight end and 132 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 1: extra body just in case. And I like what Benny's 133 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: gave you last week. Kind of caught Atlanta off guard, 134 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: caught the world off guard, lining up at fullback and 135 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: playing pretty well. So you can figure out Sean mcvacon 136 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: can figure out how to use him in that tight 137 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: end role. Maybe don't. You don't have to put his 138 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: hand down in block defensive ends. You can slide them 139 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: out or split him out and make the defense declare 140 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: what he is. But yeah, that's just too bad, uh 141 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: for Hopkins. Um that's just tough. That's tough on the 142 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: football team, but it's gonna hurt. I was more worried 143 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: about corner. Actually, um So, Durant is gonna give me 144 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: a pick in a sack and then may miss the 145 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: next week that we can't do that. Um So, I 146 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,239 Speaker 1: mean that's just me being a veteran. So that brings 147 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: up Rachelle, that brings up David Long Junior, and that 148 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: brings up some notes I had, you know too, remember 149 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: how much they want to thank you and Kendrick, but 150 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: just brings up some notes I had that the Rams 151 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: had had some coverage bus they had some issues with 152 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: what they were trying to do, and dare I say, 153 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: a better quarterback, all due respect to Marcus Mariota may 154 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: make you pay for those mistakes. They couldn't hit the 155 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: knockout punch because of who they are, but definitely you 156 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: just saw it, Kyler Murray will hit those. So now 157 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: you're down one of your most experienced corners and you're 158 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: gonna rely on some young guys to step in versus 159 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: Arizona in a game that's gonna come down to the 160 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: fourth quarter. That's pretty darn scary. On the defense of it. 161 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: I'm still hung up on Ricky trying to rebarn in 162 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: my podcast Random Field. Like, I'm just saying it just 163 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: happened to you know people that we're talking about. We're 164 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: the last two on your show. I'm just just connecting dots. 165 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 1: I'm coming from Ricky's ram jam. You watch Oh yeah 166 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: at the time, Marco California, MARCOO. Another one I wanted 167 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: to bring up too is Tremaine Ancram going down at 168 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: right guard, mainly because I know you and I have 169 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:53,079 Speaker 1: talked about Alaric Jackson a lot, and you know, having 170 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: him at guard like a tackle body, especially like his 171 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: at guard. Just what do you make of that spot, 172 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: especially with how things change there? Sick for Anchorm. He 173 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: got hurt on the first play and then gutted it 174 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: out and then I guess they just gave way, So 175 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: that sucks for him. Great for a large Jackson, big body, 176 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,079 Speaker 1: you have a huge right side. Now when you think 177 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 1: of a lard Jackson and Rob Havenstein, that's perfect to me. 178 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: That's where you want to run the football, especially with 179 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: a right handed quarterback. But the one thing guy will say, 180 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: JV and we talked about this look he's gonna get 181 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: banged for holding calls. Now he's on film doing that. 182 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: He got away with it versus Atlanta. You know, Arizona 183 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 1: is gonna be talking to the officials, Hey watch this guy. 184 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: So he's gonna have to really be technique sound versus Arizona, 185 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 1: or some of those big runs or big plays could 186 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 1: come back with holding calls. But I like the fact 187 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: that a Lard Jackson is in your lineup. It's big, 188 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: he's big. There's a lot of oomph there. I think 189 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: there's a lot of nasty in there. I think that 190 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: might have been what was missing on the old line. 191 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: I think did a good job with Atlanta and Grady 192 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: Jared in particular. Now they get a three time defensive 193 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: Player of the Years. There's gonna be two of those 194 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: on the field this week in Glendale, JJ Watt and 195 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald. But three weeks three starting offensive line combination 196 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: to stews point and really, what I hope is now 197 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 1: that the Rams know what they're working with upfront, I 198 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: think last week's game plan was a much healthier approach 199 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 1: to how to manage that. We saw Stafford Sax go 200 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: from seven to one. But now it's time to pop 201 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,839 Speaker 1: some explosive plays, especially in the running cam I think 202 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 1: the season long for a rushing attempt is eighteen yards 203 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,679 Speaker 1: to Marca. You talked about the size they have on 204 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 1: both sides, really from center out to left, and I 205 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: think also from center out to right. Now, man, if 206 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: you're cam Akers, if you're Darryl Henderson, you got to 207 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,559 Speaker 1: be salivating at the chance to maybe pop a big 208 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: one this week. Oh, I think there's more of there. 209 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: Don't you make somebody you know you gotta full back. 210 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: Now you's got an extra gap, absolutely hit it hard. 211 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: I think Darryl has been Darryl Henderson has been great 212 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: running the football, especially on those those tosses when he 213 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: cuts it back and he hits it like a skull 214 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,319 Speaker 1: of the dog. I think cam Akers is rounding into form. 215 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,599 Speaker 1: You need that right now. We need the best of 216 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: cam Akers this week if you're going to run the football. So, yeah, 217 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: there's some opportunities there. There's enough space. You are a 218 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: professional running back. They expect you to make guys miss, 219 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: not go down on first contact. Ricky, what did you 220 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: see from the offense as Stafford spread it around? They 221 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: made the Falcons defend every blade of grass in every eligible, 222 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 1: whether it's their backs, whether it was Tyler Higbee and 223 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 1: Alan Robinson also having finally his welcome to La moment 224 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 1: with his first touchdown should have been two, should have 225 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: been two. Yeah, it was great to see Alan involved, 226 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: cam Akers involved more. I would have been interested to 227 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: see how often they used him if the score was 228 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 1: closer for a little bit longer. I think DeMarco, you 229 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,679 Speaker 1: said it great when you said he's rounding into form. 230 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: I still think he needs a little bit more time. 231 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:45,079 Speaker 1: And Henderson has sort of been that guy, especially with 232 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: that rushing touchdown that he got. I just love that 233 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: even with Alan Robinson getting you know, the eye formation 234 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: with Benny's you know, running fullback. It's it's insane what 235 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: they were doing. And I think it's really really fun 236 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: to watch. But Cooper cup is still that guy, even 237 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: when Stafford is spreading it around, which is so fun 238 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: to see. And I just like think that it was 239 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: awesome to get Alan Robinson involved and Tyler Higbee got 240 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,079 Speaker 1: like I called it last week, guys, remember, I'm like, 241 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 1: he's gonna get his get right game. There was that 242 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: one side arm that he missed in the end zone 243 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:20,959 Speaker 1: that I've watched a hundred times and I'm like, oh, 244 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: he was so close to that. That would have been 245 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: such a fun touchdown. But yeah, it's been great. He's 246 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: been throwing it all over the field. Told me. JB 247 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: told me that that first drive that Matthew Stafford going 248 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:37,479 Speaker 1: to Alan Robinson didn't look like vintage Detroit Lions with Megatron, 249 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: and he's playing that Megatron role. You had that tight 250 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,559 Speaker 1: end foolery. They ran the football just enough to keep 251 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 1: you off balance. They got you in the red zone 252 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: and went one on one. I kind of liked the 253 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,719 Speaker 1: fact that Cooper cup was hiding in that offense, just 254 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: gathering information and then played the closer. I love that. 255 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: That is a great way to use him. DeMarco, What's 256 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: so cool is you and I both know how oblivious 257 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh is to everything outside the facility, right. I 258 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: mean you talk about blind eye. He has blinders, but 259 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,199 Speaker 1: sometimes sometimes a couple of times per season, it does 260 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: feel like he's crowdsourcing his game plan, right, Like he's 261 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 1: in the common section being like, oh, you want to 262 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: see more cam akers, Yeah sure, oh yeah, you probably 263 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 1: want to throw out Allen Robinson. That's a good idea, 264 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: let's do that. Ben's chronic has a fullback, Sure we 265 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 1: can go there. Two backs flanking Stafford. And that is 266 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: what last week had the feel of. But what I 267 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: love now is you became a much more complex team 268 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: to prepare for you. If your vance Joseph and the 269 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: Cardinals this week, right, I mean, there's a lot more 270 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 1: to contend with Monday through Saturday as you await these Rams. See, 271 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 1: I think what happened, and you got to give Atlanta credit, 272 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,319 Speaker 1: but I thought the Rams last score was their best 273 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: drive and what I was hoping for, and I think 274 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: they were getting to it was Cooper Cup and Alan 275 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: Robinson getting targets on the same drive. Because before it 276 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: was one or the other, I'm going here or I'm 277 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: going here. Eventually, when you start hitting both guys, yeah, 278 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: with this defense, you're about to say that's multiple. You're 279 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: gonna start making mistakes. You're gonna find those one on 280 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 1: ones quicker. I mean it felt like a humble brag. 281 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: It was like, Hey, we're gonna play the first quarter 282 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:08,679 Speaker 1: with one arm behind our back. We're not going to 283 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: throw it to Cooper Cup. Watch what we can do right? 284 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: Four touchdowns, first five drives. He's just going to be, 285 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 1: you know, our run blocker who goes and roots out 286 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,559 Speaker 1: safety so that we can get touchdowns and then he's 287 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: going to come alive and still get his historic, historic numbers. 288 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 1: One of the things do personnel wives that caught my 289 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: eye deep in yesterday the Rams, I guess went out 290 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: and got Tack McKinley to maybe give themselves another option, 291 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: a veteran presence on the edge. So a bit of 292 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: a homecoming for Tack as he comes back to Los Angeles. 293 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 1: Where are the Rams in terms of their outside linebacker position? 294 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: Leonard Floyd week to week with his injury, even though 295 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: he was able to play through against the Falcons. Yeah, 296 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: it's it's a it's a good addition because there's some 297 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 1: familiarity there with him overlapping with Raheem Morris a little 298 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: bit in Atlanta, and so an outside linebacker besides Floyd, 299 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: obviously you've still got Justin Hollins who's in good shape, 300 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: and then you've got Terrell Lewis as well. Daniel Hardy 301 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: rookie is still on still on injured reserve. But there's 302 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: no question when you can add someone like him, someone 303 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 1: of value who has that familiarity, Like I said with Raheem, uh, 304 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: it can only be a good thing. I think the 305 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: other thing too that it kind of reminds me of 306 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: a little bit is, you know Leonard Floyd and his 307 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: story as a as a former first round pick and 308 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: maybe the expectations placed on him and things maybe not 309 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: going according to plan. But now he lands with the 310 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 1: Rams and and starts, you know, playing some of the 311 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: best ball of his career. So that's not to say 312 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: and place those same expectations on Tack, but uh, it's 313 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 1: it's a situation where you know, if you're the Rams, 314 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: you know that's hopefully the best case scenario here, and 315 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 1: that's hopefully what you're going to get out of Tack 316 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: pay with ad right, That's what Floy Yeah, yeah, Dan Fowler, 317 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald effect we've seen at work well. And I 318 00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 1: think this is an area where the Rams are gonna 319 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: can tinue to really scour for options to supplement their 320 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: pass rush because I don't know that they're going to 321 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: get a sack from Bobby Wagner every week, but maybe 322 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 1: like fifteen out of seventeen weeks, well, you knew they 323 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: were gonna blitz him and that's the thing I wrote down. 324 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: And the funny thing Tack McKinley actually went to my 325 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: high school, so his pictures right next to mine. His 326 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: guys turn in pro so I'm glad he's here. The 327 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: one thing I did write down was you you're not 328 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: special outside of Aaron Donald, really, and you need special 329 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: especially when Arizona starts to speed up and he traps 330 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 1: you on the field in one personnel group and you 331 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: can't you know, sub guys, So somebody else has got 332 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 1: to win one on once. You saw that film Man, 333 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: when you slow it down and you watch, there's three 334 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: guys on Aaron and three one on once. Somebody else 335 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: has got to win. So I think that job is 336 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: still up for grabs outside of Floyd, who else would 337 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: it be. I would love it if Hardy was healthy. 338 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: I liked his speed coming off the edge. I think 339 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: he'd be a major player for the Rams right now 340 00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 1: if he were healthy. But I think you have to 341 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 1: bring in people to get that job, to make sure 342 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,640 Speaker 1: you find somebody that can get pressure around the quarterback 343 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: outside of Aaron Donald. Tifa. I'll use that kind of 344 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: as a transition to keys to the game here in 345 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 1: Week three, we can go around the horn and talk 346 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 1: about what we think will decide this matchup with the Cardinals. 347 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: But when I see Max Crosby have two hands around 348 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and not be able to complete what would 349 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: have been a walk off sack, I'm reminding the fact 350 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,879 Speaker 1: that oftentimes when you play Kyler and Arizona, maybe not 351 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 1: so much for the Rams. You've had some blowout wins, 352 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,640 Speaker 1: but the game is typically decided by can you convert 353 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,159 Speaker 1: those negative play opportunities? Can you hit Kyler? Can you 354 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 1: sack him or even turn him over when he is 355 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 1: playing frogger behind his offensive line of scrimmage, or does 356 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: he extend plays and pick up holding penalties in the 357 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 1: end zone or scramble for backbreaking conversions. That is the 358 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,880 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals experience right now under Kyler Murray, and that's 359 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: kind of where I start every game plan or keys 360 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 1: to the game against the Cardinals. Feel free to r 361 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 1: hand whoever wants to go next. If you got a 362 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: key to beating the Cardinals and getting to two and one, 363 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: go ahead, I was just gonna say that I think 364 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 1: that you know, the Rams started Week two out with 365 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:19,679 Speaker 1: complete power. They took control the way that they man 366 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 1: handled the first half of that game, and not that 367 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: they fell asleep in the second half because of you know, 368 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: all of the numbers, but it did sort of feel 369 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 1: like they took their foot off the pedal here versus 370 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,199 Speaker 1: you know, Arizona had their comeback to the Raiders in 371 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 1: the second half. The first half, everyone was like up 372 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: here they go, oh and two, this is a crazy game. 373 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: Kyler got zero Fantasy points. He wasn't doing much and 374 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden the second half they exploded. 375 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 1: So I think that the game management itself and also 376 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 1: working on the turnovers. I mean, Stafford has had seven 377 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:56,440 Speaker 1: games with multiple interception since joining the RAM, so it's 378 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,719 Speaker 1: just he's the most in the NFL, and that's not 379 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,680 Speaker 1: always his fault, absolutely not. So I think keeping getting 380 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,400 Speaker 1: those reps in getting him working with Alan Robinson more 381 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: and Cooper Cup Obviously they have a telepathic connection between 382 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 1: the two of them. There was that never before seen 383 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,239 Speaker 1: almost fumble from Cooper cut I think the team in 384 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:20,199 Speaker 1: general needs to work on turnovers to really keep control 385 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 1: of this game. By the way, Eric is a witness 386 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 1: protection on the East Coast because she was actually supposed 387 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,439 Speaker 1: to block Troy Anderson on that block punt. That was 388 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: her responsibility exactly as the personal protector. So yeah, yeah, 389 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: I have to do a name change and everything They've 390 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:42,440 Speaker 1: got that solved. Stue de marco Key two Week three, Sue, 391 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 1: I was gonna say something that reminded me of what 392 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 1: I think it was. Raheem Morris defensive coordiner, got asked 393 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: about in week one when it comes to Josh Allen, 394 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: and it was plaster rules, which is, you know the 395 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,679 Speaker 1: secondary and you know if the quarterback escapes the pocket 396 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 1: and it's trying to make an off schedule play, like 397 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 1: just sticking to your your guy, the nearest guy, nearest 398 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: receiver specifically. And that's what comes to mind when I 399 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 1: think about Kyler Murray. Even though he doesn't have DeAndre Hopkins, 400 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 1: even though he doesn't have Rondale Moore, even though James 401 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: Connor got hurt and left the game with an ankle injury, 402 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: he still found a way to wild them to that 403 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: comeback win in week two, and so between you know, 404 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,679 Speaker 1: making sure that he doesn't make those off schedule plays 405 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: and sticking to your assignment or than yourst defender if 406 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: he should he escape the pocket. Just making sure that 407 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: those don't. Um, those things are keyed on, especially because 408 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 1: you know, even though you know he had he still 409 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 1: has zach Ertz, he still has aj Green and that 410 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: was still enough for him to again help and not 411 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 1: rookie who's been exploding, who's on track for like a 412 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 1: thousand yards season with Dorch, Greg Dorch. I think his 413 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: name is Rondale Moore in the slot, but it's stud 414 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 1: You bring up a good point. You go, Josh Allen, 415 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 1: you go, Marcus Mariota, you go, Kyler Murray one two three, 416 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,880 Speaker 1: Please some jim garoppolo in week four that they thought 417 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: they're gonna be getting Trey Lance. Now it looks like 418 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: their old friend Jimmy G. Maybe a little bit more 419 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: pockets careful JB. All that guy does is all Jimmy 420 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 1: G does is beat the Rims. Yeah, they snapped that 421 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 1: streak NFC Championship game. I know you were there. Good 422 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,160 Speaker 1: Uh No, I'm with you. Um And to Ricky's point 423 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: taking their foot off the gas, I don't think it 424 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: was taking their foot off the gas. I think they 425 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: fell a street sleep with the pedal down. You know 426 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: what I mean. You have to stay with it and 427 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,640 Speaker 1: finish games. I think This is a team that's still 428 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 1: trying to figure out who they are. They're still trying 429 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,439 Speaker 1: to do the little things to come together. It's a 430 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 1: it's a good group, it's a great culture. But every 431 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,360 Speaker 1: team is different, and this team is building towards hopefully 432 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 1: something special, but they're not there yet. So it is 433 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 1: at to Stew's point, I think this game is really 434 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 1: just about one guy. If you can get Kyler Murray 435 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: on the ground, if you can force him into a 436 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 1: bad game, so goes Arizona. But you have to tackle better. 437 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 1: You've got to do the little things on first intent. 438 00:21:58,280 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: If he flips it out and you have a chance 439 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 1: for or a two yard game, it's got to stay 440 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 1: a two yard game. You can't let guys make you 441 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: miss and then give Kyler Murray a second and three 442 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,479 Speaker 1: give Kingsbury something to play with. So you know what 443 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: this game is about. Every time you line up against 444 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, it's just it's all eleven versus that guy. 445 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: If he has a great game, it's gonna be tough 446 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 1: to get him out. If you force him into situations 447 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,439 Speaker 1: he doesn't like, there could be a chance he'll go 448 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: off to the side and start pouting. Maybe he's over that, 449 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 1: maybe he's not. But when he's going good, so were 450 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: the Cardinals. If he's going bad, so were the Cardinals. 451 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,400 Speaker 1: So and one more thing about Matthew Stafford. I got 452 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 1: called out by Mike Martz of Ball People. He listened 453 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: to the Coaches Show. He said, you had a quarterback 454 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: turn the ball over multiple times. You didn't even mention 455 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: it to the head coach. I'm like, you're right, we didn't. 456 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 1: He is kind of like Kurt Warner. You kind of 457 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: ignore the turnovers, you really do because of what he 458 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 1: can do with the football. He's gonna put you in 459 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 1: the end zone. He's a guy that takes chances more 460 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 1: often than not. He's right, but every now and then 461 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: he's gonna turn it over. You're gonna have to live 462 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: with it as a deep You're gonna have to understand 463 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,239 Speaker 1: it and try to get the ball back. So I 464 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 1: think you have an ultra talented quarterback that's ultra gutsy 465 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 1: every now and then it's going to come back the 466 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: other way. It is an interesting contrast. Arizona opens a 467 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,119 Speaker 1: season with six egregious quarters and they're down twenty at 468 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 1: halftime on the road in Las Vegas. They somehow pull 469 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: that out of the fire, and now their fan base 470 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 1: is feeling like, Okay, we got a chance. Now this 471 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: is who we thought we were going to be as 472 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 1: the Rams come to town with a chance to get 473 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 1: to two and one and be a top the NFC West. Conversely, 474 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: the Rams play three dominant quarters I think against the 475 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,199 Speaker 1: Falcons crumble in the fourth, and now I understand our 476 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,879 Speaker 1: fan base is like, hey, there's there's a lot more 477 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:39,880 Speaker 1: to be concerned about here than there is to feel 478 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: confident in. But de Marco, based on what you said, 479 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: it's like, I'm anxious to see what it looks like 480 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,400 Speaker 1: when you play a game and don't turn it over 481 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: three times, right, Like, show me that version of the 482 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: Rams on Sunday, and let's see what the final score 483 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,719 Speaker 1: looks like. I think you saw it week one. It 484 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: looks like Buffalo. Oh you're saying the Rams can look 485 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: like that if one points, if you don't turn it over, 486 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: that's what I look like. Yeah, I mean, first five drives, 487 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 1: you get four touchdowns, twenty eight points. I mean I 488 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 1: think that was the Rams offense we all know and 489 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,359 Speaker 1: love and want to see a whole lot more of 490 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: all right. Good hanging out with you guys here on 491 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 1: this edition of Between the Horns presented by your Southern 492 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: California toy to dealers DeMarco and Stu.
