00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Monday, January fourteenth edition of Between the

2
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: Horns Everybody where. We're gonna recap the rams thirty to

3
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: twenty two Divisional round playoff victory over the Dallas Cowboys,

4
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: and we'll start to get you ready for the upcoming

5
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,240
Speaker 1: NFC Championship game between the LA Rams and the New

6
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints. But let's begin with that game on Saturday night,

7
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: where the Rams were able to run really all over

8
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,959
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, getting a season high two hundred and seventy

9
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: three yards rushing against Dallas's top five rushing defense. That's

10
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: a unit that had shut down the league's best rushing

11
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 1: team in the Seattle Seahawks, just the week before. So

12
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley and C. J. Anderson became the first pair

13
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: of Rams to have at least one hundred yards rushing

14
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: in a single playoff game, and they certainly paced that

15
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: offensive unit. But the Rams defense was great too. They

16
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: silenced all that talk about how the Cowboys and running

17
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: back Ezekiel Elliott could come in and run all over

18
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: for the Rams, allowing just fifty yards rushing. So in

19
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: that first quarter, the Rams started with the ball and

20
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,839
Speaker 1: they got into the red zone, but had to settle

21
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: for a short field goal to go up three to nothing,

22
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys responded well, getting into La territory on

23
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: a fourth down conversion that actually had a costly Rams

24
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: penalty attached to it, and the next play, Dak Prescott

25
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: and Mary Cooper did this shotguns snaff to Prescott looking

26
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,639
Speaker 1: left all the way now. He throws middle two percent

27
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: of the field fifteen ten right side five pylon touchdown

28
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: from left to ride across the field. Prescott hit him

29
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: in stride and i'm Ari Cooper, acquired from the Raiders

30
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: at the deadline for a first round pick, goes in

31
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: for six six z three on the first quarter clock

32
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys take the lead with twenty nine yards

33
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: on the strive. That was all Dallas would get in

34
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: the first half, as the Rams scored a field goal

35
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: in their second possession, controlling the clock with the sixteen

36
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: play drive, and then after a Dallas punt, the Rams

37
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: got in the box with c. J. Anderson. They go

38
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: no huddle golf at the line, turns left shoulder, gives

39
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: to Anderson, cut to his right. He goes in touchdown LA.

40
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: C J. Anderson drive through Jalen Smith to house it

41
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: for the Rams with seven minutes ago in the second quarter,

42
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: twelve seven LA touchdown c. J. Anderson. One drive later,

43
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: it was Todd Gurley's turn to get on the board.

44
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: It gets a girly huge hit, huge l a middle

45
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: Po's twenty five breaks left fifteen ten girl in a touchdown.

46
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: What a job by the offensive line, A huge crease

47
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: right down the middle of the field for Todd Gurley

48
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: and he takes it in Fred's touchdown thirty five yards,

49
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: nineteen to seven. Rams Los Angeles took a twenty to

50
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 1: seven lead and a half time and increased that the

51
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: twenty three to seven with Greg's ear Line's forty four

52
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: yard field goal early in the second half. But then

53
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott made some magic happen to put Dallas in

54
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: position to cut the Rams lead. Dak Prescott away, it's

55
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: a snap here it is Rams bring four. He settles in,

56
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 1: he hitches, he escapes to his left, running at the fifty,

57
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: he throws down the left sideline. It is Cox tackled

58
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 1: at the two yard line by LaMarcus Joiner, a dime

59
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: over the shoulder of Michael Gallup, who brought it in

60
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: at a full sprints want to play by Prescott. Nothing

61
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: doing to his right, so he leaks out to his

62
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: left and launches it over LaMarcus Joiner right over the

63
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: shoulder of Michael Gallup forty four yards. A couple of

64
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: plays later, Dallas was in the end zone and got

65
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: a two point conversion to make the score twenty three

66
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: to fifteen LA. The Cowboys then forced a Rams punt

67
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: and got back into the home team's territory on their

68
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: next offensive drive. But on fourth and one to start

69
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, two Rams safeties put a halt to

70
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: any Cowboys momentum. He's a single receiver to the left side.

71
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: They give to Elliott straight ahead rein into his own

72
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: man looking for the thirty five, and the Rams are

73
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: fighting them every step of the way. They just got

74
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: a fourth downstand. Rams football on it again the fourth quarter.

75
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: From there, the Rams made it a two possession game

76
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: on what was maybe a gut sea call by Sean

77
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: McVeigh given the situation fourth and goal at the one

78
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: yard line, attacking the Paris style out of the coliseum,

79
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: goff winner center turns left, gives to Anderson, and he

80
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: puts it into paints touch down lay. CJ. Anderson powers

81
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: through the left side, and with seven sixteen to go,

82
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: it's twenty nine fifteen Rams with the league well, the

83
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 1: Rams were up thirty to fifteen. The Cowboys weren't done.

84
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: They scored a touchdown with just over two minutes remaining

85
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 1: in the game and kicked an extra point to put

86
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: the score at thirty to twenty two. With three timeouts,

87
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: Dallas did have a decent shot at getting the ball back.

88
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: That's until Jared Goff made a big play with his legs.

89
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,679
Speaker 1: On third and seven from the LA twenty eight. Rams

90
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: break the huddle. C J. Anderson is their tail back

91
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: and then splits to both sides. Goff takes a quick snap.

92
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: He play fixed. He boots out to his right. He's

93
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 1: gonna run for it. He's got the thirty outside of

94
00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: the thirty five first down Jared Goff. He falls in

95
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: bounds with a new set of downs. Timeout Cowboys Dak

96
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: Prescott just ran for a touchdown. Jared Goff answers with

97
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: a first down scramble. C J. Anderson ended up taking

98
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: the next two carries enough yards for another first down,

99
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 1: and that allowed the Rams to go into victory formation

100
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: with a playoff win. Here's what Sean McVeigh had to

101
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: say about the way the Rams closed out the victory.

102
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: Jared Goff showed his athleticism tonight, you know, so that

103
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: was a big time deal. To be able to convert

104
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: with his legs, staying bounce, keep the clock moving, and

105
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: then being able to have a couple more runs where

106
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: CJ closed it out was outstanding. It was great to

107
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: not have to put our defense back out on the field.

108
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 1: But but Jared's third down conversion with his legs was huge.

109
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 1: Sam With Girly rushing for one hundred and fifteen yards

110
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: and Anderson one hundred and twenty three, the Rams have

111
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: clearly stumbled upon a pretty solid one two punch at

112
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: running back for their playoff run. McVay said that he

113
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: probably wasn't expecting both running backs to be quite that

114
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: effective against Dallas, but it's great that they were. Girly

115
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: himself gave a lot of credit to the offensive line

116
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: for the offense as a whole, being able to gain

117
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: so many yards on the ground. I mean, if you dominate,

118
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: dominate the line of skirmish, you know, nine times out

119
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: of ten um they're gonna win. And you know, those

120
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: guys been doing it all year, So um, you know

121
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 1: we didn't become you know, a top three running back. Um,

122
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: you know, leading the lead of Russian You know, I

123
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: didn't do it by myself. I did it because of

124
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 1: those guys. So just being with those guys every every day, UM,

125
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: being in meetings with UM coach Kromer, they just make

126
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: everything so much easier for us. You know, they always

127
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: you know, give your the running backs and credit. But um,

128
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: you see see what those guys did today and you know,

129
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 1: you see who led this team to a victory. But

130
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: really just having Girly out on the field for the

131
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 1: first time since Week fifteen was a boost to the

132
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: offensive unit. According to quarterback Jared Goff, incredible. I mean

133
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: you saw it. It was it was great. It was

134
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: himself and you can see how fresh he was. And

135
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: I think again with CJ in there, you can see

136
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: how fresh they can both be. They're both going and

137
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 1: Todd so special, so special player, person, teammate, and anytime

138
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: he's healthy and playing, it's it's an advantage for us.

139
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: But c J. Anderson, man, what a story he's become.

140
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: In the three games he's been with the Rams, he's

141
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: averaging a remarkable one hundred and forty yards rushing per game,

142
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: and that's given the entire offensive unit a lot of

143
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: confidence in him. He's been running, running his tailoff and

144
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: then doing doing everything right. And I think, you know,

145
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: the last two weeks without Todd, you know, he showed,

146
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: he showed what we can do. And then and then

147
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: this week having both of them is special, and it

148
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: gives you a real, real dual, dual threat of backs

149
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: and different backs. Todd's obviously what Todd is, and you know,

150
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: in my opinion, the best back in the league and

151
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: can do so many things. And then CJ comes in

152
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: and knows his role and knows what we need him

153
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: to do and protects and does all that stuff right,

154
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: and it's it's just been a really good combo. Like Gurley,

155
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: Anderson gave a lot of credit to the offensive line

156
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: for opening up holes for him to run through. But

157
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: there's also the dynamic between Anderson and Gurley, which was

158
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: clearly pretty good. The two of those guys have become

159
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: good partners and that was apparent from the on field results.

160
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: Anderson had this to say about the partnership on Sunday.

161
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: It's good. I mean, you know, whatever Ty wanted to do.

162
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: We was gonna ride with anyway. If he wanted to

163
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: play ninety eight percentage of snaps, then we was gonna

164
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: let the man be the man. I mean, that's why

165
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: he's one of the best backs in the league. But

166
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: you know, I think him seeing the opportunity of being fresh,

167
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: you know, and not taking as many hits and having

168
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: a workload and on passing downs and rundowns. I think

169
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: that helps and vice versa him myself. You know, I've

170
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: been in a position where I was a starter and

171
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: it's the same way, you know, and I was in Denver.

172
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,719
Speaker 1: So you know, I've always told him, you want to

173
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: be fresh, and when you're fresh, you know, he obviously,

174
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: you know, more explosive runs for the both of us,

175
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,719
Speaker 1: and um, you know, he has the home runability to

176
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: take it a distance. So now it's time to start

177
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: focusing in on the Saints as the Rams are headed

178
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: to New Orleans for the third time since August. If

179
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: you remember back then, the Rams faced off against the

180
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,959
Speaker 1: Saints for that fourth game of the preseason where nobody

181
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: really played, and then of course they also there in

182
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: Week nine and that was the rams first loss of

183
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: the season. So now They're going to the big easy

184
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: and want better results. The Saints played a really good

185
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: game on Sunday against the Eagles, coming back from a

186
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: fourteen to nothing first quarter deficit to win twenty to fourteen.

187
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: So Ram's head coach Sean McVeigh got on a conference

188
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: call with the media shortly after the conclusion of that

189
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: game and gave his initial thoughts on facing New Orleans again. Yeah,

190
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a great challenge. You know, obviously,

191
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: the Saints are a great football team. I think they're

192
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: playing really well on all three phases right now. You

193
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: know how close of their offense is, and then I

194
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: think their defense is really hitting their straw. Identift Hounds

195
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: on an outstanding job with these guys. They've played fast,

196
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: they all play together, they're really sting. They mixed in

197
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: pressures of the playing challenge, and it's gonna be a

198
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: great challenge, especially just having to deal with that atmosphere

199
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: in that environment with those sandball crazy and a Orchardina

200
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: excited about another opportunity to go back there and see

201
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: if we come away with a winner. There are a

202
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: few things that will definitely be different this time around

203
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: in this matchup. One of which is that the Rams

204
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: have Anderson running the ball as effectively as he is

205
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: as a compliment to Todd Gurley. And another thing is

206
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: that the Rams now have a key to Leave at

207
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: corner and he was on injured reserve from the Rams

208
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 1: lost to the Saints back in Week nine. Here's what

209
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: McKay had to say on the call about to leave.

210
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: It's a big difference theory. I think it happened to

211
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: him out there, presidents that, like we've talked about a

212
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: lot of the ability to communicate his readership in his study,

213
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: you know, throughout the course of the week. I termed

214
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: that just a situational awareness, concept recognition, and then the

215
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 1: most important the inability to communicate from a player's standpoint.

216
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: Left guard Roger Saffilds an outside linebacker Dante Fowler both

217
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: felt like there were things they could take away from

218
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: that Week nine loss and apply to defeating the Saints

219
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: now in the postseason. So keep in mind that these

220
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: guys made these comments early Sunday afternoon, so it was

221
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: before the Rams knew exactly who they would be playing

222
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 1: in the NFC Championship game. But I think the words

223
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 1: still apply Saints is control that. You know, they know

224
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,439
Speaker 1: they got everything down pat into what they're gonna do,

225
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: and they're gonna add security. He just got to try

226
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 1: our best to stop it. They got great offensive lineman,

227
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 1: how the fan quarterback, and uh two headed months in

228
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,839
Speaker 1: the backfield. So you know, Michael Thomas is a great receiver.

229
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,719
Speaker 1: Thing's going to be, if not another side DeAndre the

230
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: second best receiver in the league soon. I think we

231
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: mentioned it really well. I think that you know, the

232
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 1: last time we played them, you know, it came down

233
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: to a game and just running out of time at

234
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: the end of the day. I think they will ever

235
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: better playing against him the second of the second go round,

236
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: and you got to be excited to be able to

237
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: go back there and get another chance of those guys again.

238
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: For Saffold especially, I mean, he's somebody who has been

239
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: with the Rams for a very long time, and it's

240
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: pretty cool to see him make it to a conference

241
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: championship game and really get that first playoff win. And

242
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: even he admitted it's pretty gratifying to be able to

243
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: do it with the team that drafted him. You know,

244
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: I always always kept saying that, you know, I wanted

245
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,559
Speaker 1: to finish where I started over here and you know

246
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: there was some back and forth, you know, every everything

247
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 1: with the whole thing with the Oakland and coming back here.

248
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: Thanks happening. Like I just said, for a reason, I'm

249
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: glad that maybe to do it here. Listen, Tina gave

250
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: me a chance back in twenty and ten and here

251
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: we are always good to hear from Roger Staffold and

252
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: definitely happy for him and the rest of the Rams

253
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 1: for winning that game against the Cowboys. So that'll do

254
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: it for this Monday, January fourteenth edition of Between the Horns.
