00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Friday, January eleventh edition of Between the

2
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: Horns Everybody. Miles Simmons here to take you through the

3
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 1: practice week as the LA Rams get set toast the

4
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys at the Coliseum for the Divisional round of

5
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: the NFL Playoffs. And it's been a busy week around

6
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: the Rams facility at cal Luthan, with the team first

7
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: finally finding out who they would be playing and then

8
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: getting back on the field to prepare for an opponent

9
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: rather than just simply working on themselves. But again, for

10
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: this episode, let's begin with running back Todd Gurley and

11
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: the latest on his knee injury, and really it is

12
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 1: good news. Head coach Sean McVeagh has been consistent all

13
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: week in sharing his expectation that Gurly will be on

14
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: the field when the Rams line up against the Dallas Cowboys,

15
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: and Gurly was listed as limited participant on Tuesday and Wednesday,

16
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: but he was back in full on Thursday and he

17
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: does not have an injury status, which means he is

18
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: expected to play. Here's what Sean mcvayh had to say

19
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 1: about Gurley after Thursday's final practice of the week. It

20
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: looks like Todd he looks like the explosive, great back

21
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: that we're accustomed to shin. He's feeling good. He's had

22
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: a great week of preparation, and you know, we're expecting

23
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: him to be ready to go, and all things are

24
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: looking in a very positive direction. Gurley himself said following

25
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: Wednesday's practice that he's been feeling better and that he's

26
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: been communicating with the coaching staff and the training staff

27
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: each day about the status of his need. Well, he's

28
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,199
Speaker 1: done some work on the alter G treadmill, which uses

29
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: technology to reduce a person's body weight while running. He

30
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: got on the field and he ran this week for

31
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: the first time since that Philadelphia game. So here's what

32
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley had to say on Wednesday about the way

33
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: his knee's been feeling as of late. There's been a

34
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: process like over a couple of weeks, but like the

35
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: last week's been really good for me. You know, just

36
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: me and Byron been attacking the rehab and it's just

37
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: been getting better. So, like I said, just all about

38
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: me communicating and you know, and then I'm having a

39
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: plan and then we just kind of figured it out

40
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: from there. But everything's been going pretty good right now.

41
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: So Huffully, we can keep it that way. So again,

42
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: it's all positive on the Girly injury front, and that's

43
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: going to help create which should be a terrific running

44
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: back matchup between the Rams and Cowboys on Sunday. Girly

45
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: and Ezekiel Elliott are two of the premier backs in

46
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: the league, in large part because both can do it all.

47
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: They're great runners, they're great receivers, and they can stand

48
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: in the backfield and block for the quarterback. So Zeke

49
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: Elliott and Todd Gurley were neck and neck for much

50
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: of the season and chasing that rushing title, but of course,

51
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 1: with Girly missing the last two games, that went to

52
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott for the second time in three seasons. He

53
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: had fourteen hundred thirty four yards on the ground and

54
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: really it would have been more if Zeke hadn't sat

55
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: out Dallas's Week seventeen contest against the Giants. So this week,

56
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: Gurley said he's looking forward to the matchup between the

57
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: two former top ten draft picks. Great obviously, U two

58
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: top running backs, and but you know, not really about us,

59
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 1: just a team game, and you know, obviously we've got

60
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: to hype it up you know Zeke versus Girly, but

61
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 1: I mean he's a great running back, man. I mean

62
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: he's one of the Russian title you know, two out

63
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: of the last three years. Um, he's a big back

64
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,839
Speaker 1: like myself. I mean basically fast, strong, you know, cash

65
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: the ball team for a lot on him a lot,

66
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: and you know he goes out there and improve it

67
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: every week. He gets it done. So, um, that's what

68
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: makes him, you know, one of the top backs in

69
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: this league. Over the stuff that he's been able to do.

70
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: You know since he's entered the league. Zeke had one

71
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty seven yards rushing last week against Seattle

72
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: and that's a team with a pretty good defensive front. Now,

73
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: the Rams do have the benefit of experience, having played

74
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: the big back in Week four of twenty seventeen. So

75
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: what makes Zeke so special? John Johnson and Michael Brockers

76
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: talked about that this week. He's a big but he

77
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: can run. He can really run like with the best

78
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: of them. So I think, like you said, is something

79
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: that you actually got to play against him to know

80
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: what to expect. And I think we all know what

81
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: to expect. So, I mean we've been prepping for him

82
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: and we're ready to go. I mean, he's just a hard,

83
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: tough running man. He doesn't like to go back, which

84
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 1: he lust all we brought forward. And you know the

85
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: greatest thing about him is you know he can take

86
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: the rock thirty times and he is dominated as he is,

87
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: you know, from to start to finish. So we just

88
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: got to read it rally, to the ball demensively and

89
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: get him down because we know it starts with him personally.

90
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: When you look at the Cowboys, they're built in a

91
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: somewhat similar way to the Rams, and that both teams

92
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: have terrific young running backs paired with up and coming

93
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks. For Los Angeles that QB is Jered Goff,

94
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 1: who will talk more about later, But for Dallas it's

95
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. And it's sort of hard to believe that

96
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: Prescott kind of accidentally had one of the better rookie

97
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: debuts for any quarterback when Tony Romo went down with

98
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,239
Speaker 1: an injury back in twenty sixteen. Now Prescott has gotten

99
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: his first playoff victory after last week. So Prescott has

100
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: a lot of arm talent, but he can also make

101
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,799
Speaker 1: plays with his legs, which is part of what defensive

102
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: coordinator Wade Phillips said, makes him so difficult to defend. Well,

103
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: I mean he can run anthorow. I mean, you know,

104
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of the teams that are

105
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: in the playoffs certainly have quarterbacks that can can scramble too,

106
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 1: and he's one of them. So you know, he can

107
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: hurt you making first down. They're they're a really good

108
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: third down team. And part of it's obviously because he

109
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: throws the ball. Well, they've got good receivers, good timing

110
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: and so forth. But he also makes first downs by

111
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: running it also, so uh and then in the red

112
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: zone he scored, scored or been responsible for a lot

113
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: of scores down there. So there's a real verstal quarterback

114
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: and just been coming along better and better every year.

115
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 1: So Dak threw for just under three thousand, nine hundred

116
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: yards this season with twenty two touchdowns and eight interceptions. Now,

117
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: six of those passing touchdowns went to Amari Cooper, who

118
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 1: Dallas acquired in a blockbuster mid season trade. For more

119
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: on how the Rams are going to have to defend

120
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: that wide receiver, here's staff writer Clarence Dennis as the

121
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: Rams prepared for the Cowboys offense powered by Dak and Zeke.

122
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: It'll be important to remember well wide receiver Marii Cooper

123
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: has to offer. The Cowboys traded for Cooper ahead of

124
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: Week nine and quickly made him a big part of

125
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: the offense. On Tuesday, Marcus Peters and kipt Leibe spoke

126
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: about what they've seen from Cooper in Dallas. Same thing.

127
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: I've been seeing able coops that got me in facing

128
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: because he was rookie's excellent receiver. Glad he's getting a

129
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: chance to actually be itself from just you know, go

130
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 1: out there and play ball. You know he's been playing

131
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: playing a whole lot better from a second end of

132
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: season once he left Oakland. So sposted player. He's got

133
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: to be ready. Yeah, he one of the top guys. Man.

134
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: He's oh all he one of the top guys man.

135
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: He fast, he quick, He cast the ball Now I

136
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: feel hot, wonder football. Good yards after the cast when

137
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: I saw he got to total package. Cooper posted his

138
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 1: third thousand yards season as a member of the Raiders

139
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: and Cowboys in twenty eighteen, but Dallas has relied heavily

140
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: on the white out seventy six of his one hundred

141
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,919
Speaker 1: and seven targets, and six of cooper Seven touchdowns this

142
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: season have come as a cowboy. Peter says it's a

143
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: new team. Sam Amori and Talib agrees, no, he was

144
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: the only person who gonna be a March Shoop episode.

145
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: You know, they're saying nothing different by that. Just as

146
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: far as play calling and things like that. As far

147
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: as his personality and his characterisms is fitting in the offense,

148
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: I think it works well for him. He's good off

149
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: the line. He does those things very well, so got

150
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: be ready for I think they've getting the ball in

151
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: his hands more, a lot more quick passes, a lot

152
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: more catching run type situations, So they're doing a good

153
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: job getting the ball in his hand. Peters and Talib

154
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: have some experience against Cooper as former members of the

155
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: AFC West and NFL Networks. David Carr said this week

156
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: it's been a fair role matchup for the Rams, Corners

157
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: pointing out that since twenty fifteen, Cooper has just one

158
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: catch against Talib and seven against Peters. The Rams helped

159
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: Cooper to just one reception for nine yards in Week

160
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: one in Oakland, but the playoffs are a different story.

161
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: Just ask the Super Bowl fifty Champ. Yeah, man, everybody

162
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: measured like that. You know old line, verse, D line,

163
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: you know, quarterbacks, cornerback to everybody. Man, So you want

164
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: to be popular and get your name on there and

165
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: make a couple of players in the playoffs, you would

166
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: be to Thanks Clarence for that report on Cooper and

167
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: the Rams defensive backs. So let's talk more about the

168
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: Rams offense, specifically quarterback Jared Goff. Now, I think we

169
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: all know Goff didn't have his best stretch of the

170
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: season for the first few games after the buy, but

171
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: I think he did rebound in a nice way during

172
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: week sixteen and seventeen. Here's what he had to say

173
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: about what he was working on though during this playoff.

174
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: By week nothing specifically, Just continue to sharpen up on everything.

175
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: You know, footwork, pocket mechanics, being strong in the pocket,

176
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: you know, going through the reads. Everything. We had some

177
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: good practices that we're able to get that done. Nearly

178
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: everyone on the Rams has talked about how much they

179
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 1: learned from that previous playoff experience last year against Atlanta,

180
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 1: and Goff is no different, saying after the forty nine

181
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: Ers game that he feels like he understands what the

182
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: opportunity of the playoffs means just a bit more, but

183
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: there's something to be gained with every experience. And here's

184
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: what Sean McVeigh had to say about why he feels

185
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: like Goff is better equipped to leave Los Angeles to

186
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 1: a playoff victory this year. I think the same thing

187
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: that we were talking about earlier, just the experience, and

188
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: I think he's done an excellent job of learning from

189
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: that experience. I think he's a better player than he

190
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 1: was a year ago. He's gotten better physically. I think

191
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: he's got a better understanding of what we're trying to

192
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: get done, what defenses are trying to do from an

193
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: above the next standpoint, and I just think that he's

194
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: better equipped to play at a higher level just based

195
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: on getting better, focusing on the little things and doing

196
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: it the right way, one day at a time. The

197
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: famously even keel quarterback said he also is not really

198
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: nervous for this big time matchup. Actually, he said he

199
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: wasn't nervous last year either. I wasn't you know. I

200
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: was more excited, and sure you have butterflies early on,

201
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't say it was nervous. I was excited

202
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: and I feel the same way this year, and I'm

203
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: definitely excited to get out there, and especially after having

204
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: a week off, watching those games, you kind of get

205
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 1: that feeling and going again and it feels like we've

206
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: spent forever since we played, and we're excited to go.

207
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: While Goff has played against the Cowboys before, he said

208
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: there's plenty of differences in this year's team than the

209
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: squad Los Angeles beat last year in Week four, I think,

210
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 1: again you can start with the past Rush say, you know,

211
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: I know they had to Marcus Lawrence last year as well,

212
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 1: but he's playing at a really high level again this year,

213
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: and they've added a few pieces there that have played

214
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: at a high level with him, and they've done some

215
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: good things up front to do that. And then I

216
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: think the linebackers are extremely athletic. You know, Challey's a

217
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: great player, but Vander esh stepping in for him and

218
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: Jalen are both so athletic and to do such great things.

219
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: And then I think Byron Jones moving to corner having

220
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: the year he's had has been huge for them, and

221
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: their secondary is good as well at the other positions,

222
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 1: but they've made some good adjustments and I think in

223
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: these last seven eight games, they've really found themselves. Defensively,

224
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: I've played well. And finally, this is going to be

225
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: the ninth playoff meeting between the Cowboys and Rams, and

226
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: that is the most postseason matchups in NFL history between

227
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: two teams. Now. On Monday's episode, I mentioned that the

228
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: last time the Cowboys and Rams got together in the postseason,

229
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: the Rams shut out Dallas twenty to nothing behind Eric

230
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: Dickerson's NFL playoff record two hundred and forty eight yards rushing.

231
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 1: And to give you an idea of just how awesome

232
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: that record is, no one else in NFL postseason history

233
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: has even reached two hundred and ten yards rushing in

234
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: a game. So yeah, there's a reason why Dickerson is

235
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer. And this week I got him

236
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: on the phone to talk about his most memorable plays

237
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: from that game. I think I have too we played

238
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: in that game. I think, good the first play come

239
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: out to I have to hand down man, that would

240
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: just big for me. Come out. You know. I am

241
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: like to show them how bad I was, so you

242
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: can see you can see how bad I am. I

243
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: think I think Michael Bowns come home to chase. It

244
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: was the first play out of the him and I

245
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: went right up to good. I think to play with ice, right,

246
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: I don't a quick draw play and another wearing I

247
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 1: was running and man, I just made them to come cut.

248
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: It was gonna, I was gonna our. I made a

249
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: cut of Danny White and I think can get one

250
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: cloud and I was like, oh yeah. Dickerson and I

251
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: talked about a few more topics as well, including what

252
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: this running back matchup between Ezekiel Elliott and Todd Gurley

253
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: could look like on Sunday. For that whole interview, you
