I couldn't sleep. Anybody else have trouble, 12 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: No slept like baby. You guys wind it down better 13 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: than I do. The same, Jabe, We're in the same boat. 14 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: I sound like this today because for the fourth quarter 15 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: I went down to see some friends that were watching 16 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: the game, and I lost my voice because I hid 17 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 1: my credential. So I didn't look like a crazy like 18 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: fan screaming or I didn't look like any but I 19 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: was just so excited. I was like, oh my god, 20 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: that ninety eight yards that they have to go after 21 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: this punt, like all right, whatever, it's gonna be fun. 22 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 1: And then to see that happen, That's why I sound 23 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:31,680 Speaker 1: like this. And then you know how they like the 24 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,199 Speaker 1: Christmas Carol. It's like sugar plum fairies danced in their heads. 25 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: That that catch by Ben Scernik danced in my head. 26 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 1: While I was trying to fall asleep last night, I 27 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,119 Speaker 1: was just like, just this is so exciting and this 28 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: team just needed this, Like I get it. It's the 29 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: season has been what it is, and it's just the 30 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: Raiders who have I guess they've raidered before, but I 31 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: just it just I just feel great, you guys. I 32 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: just feel so excited and we find just grab the heart, 33 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: pull it out of Raider fans. I love it. I 34 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: had a bath, I lit the candles, I relax and 35 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: drifted off into a beautiful sleep. Let the Raider fans 36 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,519 Speaker 1: stay up and think about that. I was so happy. Yes, 37 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 1: good night world, Absolutely, yeah, you have slipless nights. Maurice 38 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: just walked across the sidewalk over the NFL network to 39 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: talk some more talk, I imagine I didn't get to 40 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: see your post game, but I had a sense which 41 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: direction you were going. Yeah, it wasn't JB is what 42 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 1: you might have thought. You know, it was the MJD Bowl, right, 43 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: so everybody was happy. But this, I'll say this, and 44 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: this is one thing I have to give Raider fans credit. 45 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: For a bunch of my friends, family members of Raider fans, 46 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: they all text me before the game. They're like, this 47 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: is a game that the Raiders will lose because they're 48 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 1: supposed to win. And I was like, get out of here, 49 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: like there's no way that if they played Baker Mayfield 50 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,679 Speaker 1: that they're gonna allow this team to come back. And 51 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: sure enough, everything that needed to happen happen. So right now, 52 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna go play the lottery and going 53 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: there in my Rams gear. See if you know, maybe 54 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: that stuff is still on us, because I mean, what 55 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,959 Speaker 1: a game, right from all the different penalties and the 56 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 1: gritty but they were gritty as the balls rolling down 57 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 1: to the two yard line, like I'm saying, tempting the 58 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: football guys, right, Yes, yeah, it was unreal and so 59 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: uh but but it was just we talked about it. 60 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: The defense played really well to hold Josh Jacobs to 61 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 1: under a hundred yards, a guy who was averaging one 62 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty yards a game, multiple touchdowns. They did 63 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: an awesome job with that. Jalen Ramsey wed he can't 64 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: talk enough about what he was able to do. He 65 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: played press man all game on Davantae. Adams gave up 66 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: two catches and the other third catch was a zone 67 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: play where he ran across and Bobby Wagner's act two 68 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: catches against Davanta. Adn't playing press man, no safety. Help, 69 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: come on, Maurice. He left the building. He came in 70 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: and left with a briefcase. It was about business. It's 71 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: about business. I love this dude, just just tremendous. Absolutely. 72 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: I hope your relatives weren't in the first three rows 73 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: because those were the Raider fans talking the most trash. 74 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: That's why I started the show with this. Yeah, they didn't. 75 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: My family didn't show up there they were. They were 76 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: all over the coup we did we didn't today, and 77 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: not to come there the Rams house. They'd a kid. 78 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: We can't have it. I like that NFL Network showed 79 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: everyone's picks for the games and just called it the 80 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,159 Speaker 1: MJD bowl and didn't give you given their picks. I 81 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: like like that so fast. I was like, this is awesome. 82 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: So I gotta take you guys behind the scenes a 83 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: little bit. I pick up Maurice yesterday. We want to 84 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: get there early. He's got work to do. I got 85 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 1: work to do. We want to beat traffic, et cetera. 86 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: I have never seen him so ready for battle, Like 87 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 1: it wasn't about last night's game, so to speak, but 88 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 1: like MJD was ready to like clap back on anyone 89 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 1: coming for the Rams, like anyone Sean McVeagh, John Woolford, Mayfield, 90 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey, Rocky Morris, like he was taking all comers. 91 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 1: He's like sitting there like if they say this, I'm 92 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 1: gonna come at him with this. And I'm like, wait, 93 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: this isn't even a game plan. This is just like 94 00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: how you're going to survive the next month of the season. 95 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: And I like that the Rams brought that disposition too, 96 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: like they were ready for the Raiders. That was cool. 97 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: Who would have thought? Who would have thought forty eight hours? 98 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, Listen, I can't even cook a pancake after 99 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: forty eight hours learning how to do. It took me 100 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: two weeks to learn an NFL playbook and then the 101 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: hardest situation in football, too many drill from your two 102 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: yard line with no timeout to the man or forty 103 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 1: five to go silent count, silent count and not even 104 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: knowing the count right, not even knowing the count. Your 105 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: your sinner's telling you, Brian Allen telling you, hey, this 106 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:39,279 Speaker 1: is what we're gonna do on this count. Like you 107 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 1: can't write it. You can't write a better story. I'm 108 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: not trying. You did you wore leather pants to our 109 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: pregame occasion. I got my hair cut before I wore 110 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: leather pants. I was like, I'm feeling dangerous. Something is 111 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: in the air. This is and before we even started 112 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 1: our pregame show, I was telling you him, like, this 113 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,039 Speaker 1: is gonna be a if. I'm telling you guys, I 114 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 1: have this feeling, and you guys are like, I don't know. 115 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: He's been here, you know, ten minutes. As mcvaya, there's 116 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: no way you can get a guy ready to play 117 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: that fast. No way you can. When you're Baker Mayfield 118 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: and Sean McVeagh to Marco, there's no way we're setting 119 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: up to do our pregame show, DeMarco and Eric and 120 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,359 Speaker 1: I are sitting there in the south end zone and 121 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,359 Speaker 1: I leaned down to DeMarco. I'm like, DeMarco, have you 122 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: ever seen a quarterback run a jet sweep in pregame 123 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: warm up? Like Baker Mayfield is literally getting every rep impossible. 124 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: I'm like, that's how I know he's playing is because 125 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: he's bringing Ben Scronic in motion and practicing the timing 126 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: on a jet sweep hand off two hours before kickoff. 127 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: It's just incredible, absolutely incredible what they accomplished. How many 128 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: bad plays can you count out of Baker Mayfield. It 129 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: looks like he's been here longer. So either he's better, 130 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: Either he's better than what we think, or we're not 131 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: giving Sean mcvagh enough credit for what he does with 132 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: that position. I think both things. A lot of things 133 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: can be true here and we'll get into some of 134 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 1: what those are. Um, but Maurice, he didn't make every 135 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 1: throw and there were a few of busted plays as 136 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 1: we all anticipated, including some that left the Rams with 137 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: only one time out to use on defense. And how 138 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: about that stand that they got. I mean, for all 139 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: of the herobics of Mayfield and McVeigh in that offense, like, 140 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: come on, you got one time out to get a stop, 141 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: and you forced the Raiders to punt. Well, that's what 142 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: I would say, like you you It's funny. I was 143 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: asked a great on the on the Network postgame show, 144 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: what would you give him? I was like a plus. 145 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: At first, I was like a b because again, he 146 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: came in, he missed some throws, he messed up some 147 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: plays that exactly that. But in any situation, when you 148 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,119 Speaker 1: you find a way to get a victory, no matter 149 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: how it comes, it's an a plus for me. You 150 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: you you have passed the test. And it wasn't again, 151 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: it was more than anything. He brought hope right. And 152 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: the only thing I'll say about Baker's stay humble, because 153 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: you know Baker can get out of there and he 154 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: can start feeling dangerous and all that. Look, stay humble. 155 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: You got a victory. But he brought hope to a 156 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: defense that was like starting to let go of the 157 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: rope a little bit. They were getting worn down, right, 158 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: Bobby Wagger was keeping them together. Jayleen Ramsey, everybody's fighting 159 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: their butts off, and it all it took was a 160 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: couple throws in that game early and again like, oh, 161 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: if we keep this thing close, we may have a chance. 162 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: And it was sure enough, it just started to click 163 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: and you got that touchdown by cam Akers and then 164 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: the defense gets to stop and then all of a sudden, 165 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: it's this long drive and everyone on the sidelines, there 166 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: was not one person sitting down the sidelines and that 167 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 1: two minute drive everyone was up screaming, yelling coverage. I 168 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: was watching the whole sidelines were like, what is going on? 169 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: Like I've never I haven't seen the rams like this, 170 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: probably since like the playoffs last year, And so they 171 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: were in tune because they could feel it. And if 172 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: it is Baker Mayfield's energy, if it is his arm talent, 173 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: his ability to throw the ball down the field, if 174 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: it is his ability to kind of get out of 175 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 1: the pocket or sliding out of bouts and sprinting up 176 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: running back, or being able to take hits, whatever it 177 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: may be. If it's Sean mcvay's ability to recognize what 178 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: he does well and get him in those situations many 179 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,319 Speaker 1: times as possible. Is it the is it the offensive 180 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,839 Speaker 1: line second game together and they they get removal right, 181 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: All these different things came to play on Thursday Night football, 182 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 1: and it worked out, man, And so whoever it is, 183 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 1: whatever it was, if it was all of them, if 184 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: it was one of them, it was a beautiful thing 185 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: to see because this team has fought. From the Bucks 186 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 1: game when the defense had to go back out there 187 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 1: to get a stopped right and couldn't do it, or 188 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: the Saints game when Stafford goes in and everything kind 189 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: of gets wonky, to the Chiefs game where the defense 190 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: plays well and Perkins is first start. All these different 191 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: things have happened to last week or last Sunday when 192 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: you had the Seahawks beat right. So to see all 193 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,959 Speaker 1: that come together, it was awesome, especially against a team 194 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: that's been playing really well the last month. Shout out 195 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,199 Speaker 1: to the Bigs. It's funny if you want to hear 196 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,199 Speaker 1: some game for you for the NFL, if you want 197 00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:59,599 Speaker 1: to know if an offensive line is playing well and 198 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: cohesi and that nonverbal communication is so big. That's why 199 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: it's so important for these guys to start and finish 200 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: games so you can improve. But when you see guys 201 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 1: coming off the ball at the same time and stepping 202 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 1: with the same foot for the most part, that's how 203 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: you know things are starting to work well, and that's 204 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: when the run game starts to pop. It's no shock 205 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: when you keep losing linemen after linemen to lower body 206 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: injuries because guys aren't stepping in the wrong direction. I 207 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: don't know where this guy's going. He lays on my foot, 208 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: I break my ankle. So this offensive line, the way 209 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 1: it's constructed with a thirty seven year old left tackle, 210 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 1: reclamation project. I was more excited for him going against 211 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: those ends and Rob Avenstein than I was for Baker 212 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: Mayfield playing well because Max Crosby was trying to put 213 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,559 Speaker 1: your lights out. He was, and in key situations you 214 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: kept him off your quarterback, saying with Chami Ladrone. So 215 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: great job by the offensive line, and I'm sick for 216 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: cam Akers again. Great drive hold onto the rock. Who 217 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: knows you may not need a big comeback if you 218 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 1: can score points there. That was huge, but great. But 219 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: shout out to the bigs and Ben Scronik. Remember last 220 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: year we were talking about him being stone hands. Can 221 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: you tell his confidence has picked up in catching passes? 222 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 1: I mean, look, I mean I see the work he's 223 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 1: done with Greg Olson pregame. That stuff has translated into 224 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,199 Speaker 1: a guy that's making big catches and big moments. That's huge. 225 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 1: Shout out to both those guys. Eric, I feel like 226 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: he wanted to jump in there on cam Akers. Yeah, 227 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: that that fumble. It definitely hurt, especially on the drive 228 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: that they were creating at that time. And I the 229 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 1: whole time when it was sixteen three and we're getting 230 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: later into the end of the game, I'm like, oh, 231 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: I'm just still thinking about that. But I was actually, 232 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 1: you know, Kiran Williams had some good, good runs and 233 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: I've been really in love with him as a player 234 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: the past few weeks, so I've been really wanting to 235 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 1: see more of him. And I started to say, like, 236 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 1: why is cam Akers back out there? But then again 237 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: after I'm like, I don't know what the hell I'm 238 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: talking about. And Sean mcvayh does because he has trust 239 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,559 Speaker 1: in this kid, and Max Crosby is such a player. Yes, 240 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,199 Speaker 1: you have to hold on to the football. Of course, 241 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: that was a great punch out, that was insane. But 242 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: then he goes and he scores again. So you give 243 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,559 Speaker 1: cam Akers that confidence back. You don't just sit him 244 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: on the bench. You're still you know, committing him with 245 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: Kyron Williams, But then you're putting him back out there 246 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: to score a touchdown. And so when he got back 247 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: into the end zone there that that hard one yard 248 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: punch in that he really that we really needed at 249 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: that time. I was like, you know what, like good 250 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: form and that sort of gave me this this other 251 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 1: boost of confidence that was just like we are kind 252 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 1: of trying to put the confidence back into this team. 253 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: And the catch before it to convert. I was gonna 254 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 1: say this, I wanted Cam to score, not just because 255 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: of what happened with the fumble, but because JB called 256 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: a seventeen play, seventy five yard drive and he was 257 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: like with a fourth and one, and it was like 258 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 1: I could feel the energy from JB like you gotta 259 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 1: get in. We've gotten all the way here. And the 260 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: touchdown LA might have been the greatest one of all 261 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 1: of our whole career together, because you could just feel 262 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: the fight that he, like Davy, was out there playing yesterday. 263 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: It was unbelievable. Acres stays in mayfield ready under center 264 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 1: opens up, hands off Acres finding Peter pushing the pile 265 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: there it is touchdown. Tander Ram touchdown. Alas the first 266 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 1: of the nights with three nineteen remaining and the Rams 267 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: are within sixteen nine on a seventeen play seventy five 268 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,079 Speaker 1: yard touchdown drive. We had fun last night, didn't we 269 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 1: even before ninety eight yards and one forty five? Like 270 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,680 Speaker 1: we had fun last night. That was good. So Erica 271 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 1: and de Marka, you're both reminding me of I hope 272 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: I don't go off here. I'm sorry if I take 273 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: too much of the microphone, but just give me a second, 274 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 1: because I was reflecting last night as I was trying 275 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 1: to go to sleep about how this is right Lee 276 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield's redemption moment. He's had a few, but let's 277 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: face it, he's now been cast off by two franchises. 278 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 1: He's been injured throughout this year. Benched a couple of 279 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: times had to ask for his release and get out 280 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: of Carolina. And that was a cathartic performance for him 281 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,199 Speaker 1: and for the Rams. And not that Baker Mayfield isn't 282 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,959 Speaker 1: now one of our Rams, but I was thinking about 283 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: fandom through a tough year, in a six game losing streak, 284 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: and how I've learned a lot this season, just like 285 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: we do every season. But there are some individuals that 286 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: I feel really really good for and they haven't been 287 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: on the nice list of Rams fans for much of 288 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: the last few years. You guys knew I'm talking about 289 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: Cam Makers is one of them. He was on the 290 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: trade block. He was a healthy scratch. They're trying to 291 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: find a new home for him for much of this year. 292 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: Ben Scronic DeMarco said, I've never seen a rookie take 293 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: more heat. A seventh round rookie take more heat from 294 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: a fan base. And now he's a thirty two yard 295 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 1: Randy Moss right like he and two two out well 296 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: are your go toos. Two two's another one first pick 297 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 1: of the twenty one draft. Zero stats as a rookie, 298 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: I mean nothing on offense, healthy scratch for much of 299 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 1: this year too. Now when it's third and whatever you're throwing, 300 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: go balls to two two because that's where you are 301 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: with this roster. Van Jefferson shut down early in camp 302 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: multiple knee procedures. I'll wind this down, I promise. But 303 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: like even Malcolm Brown DeMarco, he was a former college 304 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: free agent of the Saint Louis Rams. If I'm not mistaken, 305 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 1: during your time there, the Rams moved on from him 306 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: multiple seasons ago. He had to be promoted from the 307 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 1: practice squad. Again, these are the players who are making 308 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: plays in crunch time against the Raiders. This was not 309 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: Super Bowl fifty six, but it had shades. It had 310 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: vibes of that because of the drive and because of 311 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: who you were leaning on to make these plays. And 312 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: I'll even finish with Taylor Rapp, who takes a larger 313 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: percent of blame for the defensive shortcomings when it doesn't 314 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: go right than Taylor rap for him to clinch that game, 315 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: and it felt like the game was clinch when Van 316 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: caught the touchdown. I get it, but I feel great 317 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: for him and for so many others that I didn't 318 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: list there. And I don't know what the takeaway is. 319 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: Maybe you guys can fill it in, but I think 320 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: it's easy to like to love all these guys and 321 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 1: to support them and want good things to happen for 322 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 1: them when you are winning an NFC West and an 323 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: NC Championship game against the Niners and winning the Super Bowl. 324 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: I feel like I'm a bigger better supporter of those 325 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: guys and so many others through a six game losing 326 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: streak this morning than I was yesterday. Yeah, I would 327 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,479 Speaker 1: say this that you didn't even mentor like Rob Havenstein, 328 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 1: who's been a part of this offense the whole time, right, 329 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 1: or Tyler Higbee who's been there, Ben Scronick, who was 330 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: playing fullback, he was in their blocking linebackers at one point. 331 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: And so just and again this has nothing to do 332 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: with John Woolford, because he did what he could do 333 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 1: and as you could tell, he was in pain. They 334 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: couldn't even throw the ball. They didn't feel comfortable with 335 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: him throwing the ball on Thursday night. But it shows 336 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: you what Sean can do with the quarterback that has 337 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 1: the ability to stretch the field vertically on it in 338 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: a schematical and schematic standpoint right like you can throw 339 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: that throw and again I may go off a little bit, 340 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: but the throw to two two out, well, that was 341 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: the PI that changed the whole game, because as you 342 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: saw the Raiders defense kept getting closer and closer to 343 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. Safeties are playing at eight yards 344 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 1: and they're supposed to being cover four and they're driving 345 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 1: the run, and all of a sudden, you take a 346 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,399 Speaker 1: shot down the field, you throw a fifty yard pass. 347 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 1: It backs everything off and then you started seeing the 348 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: deep outscome open, the deep ends come open, and it's 349 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,439 Speaker 1: just having that vertical passing and that's kind of what 350 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: they've missed since Stafford's been out right, or the time 351 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,439 Speaker 1: to be able to make those throws right, that's the 352 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: other part the offensive line being there. So to me, 353 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 1: everything that we not me culture that we've talked about 354 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: over and over again, how it's going to be tested 355 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 1: in the development of players, of guys coming off practice squad, 356 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: or guys like Ben Scronic give being a better catching 357 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 1: the ball better Tyler Higbee out there fighting through injury 358 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: and still trying to put his body on the line 359 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 1: for the team. You do all those things for what 360 00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 1: happened on Thursday, Right, It may not seem like a 361 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, was it four or five weeks 362 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 1: ago when this losing streak, six weeks ago when this 363 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 1: losing streak started, or seven weeks ago, But you fight 364 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: and you scratch every day in practice for games like 365 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 1: this because when it breaks, it breaks for you. And 366 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 1: that's the thing that we don't see as players or 367 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 1: as fans, like the I know what those dudes in DeMarco, 368 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 1: You know what those dudes are going. You're sitting in 369 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,879 Speaker 1: the cold tub after practice, even lost six games, you 370 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 1: kind of thinking to yourself, some of the older guys 371 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,360 Speaker 1: maybe have something like what am I doing out here? 372 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: You know, all these different things are going through your mind, 373 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 1: and yet you just keep as they take, keep chopping wood. 374 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: And then finally it breaks, and it's it's good to 375 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: see it. It breaks in so many different facts, like 376 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 1: you said, two two out, will be in the lead receiver, 377 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 1: Ben Scronic making a moss and two guys to go 378 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,640 Speaker 1: get the ball, cam Akers redemption on a fumble play, 379 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield getting casted off, going to a coach that 380 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 1: knows and understands quarterbacks and how to put you in 381 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: the best situation to be successful. And then for Raheem Morrise, 382 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you all this soft talk. Jaylan Ramsey played 383 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 1: press man. He was literally a yard off of DeVante 384 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 1: Adams every almost every play, right and so to me, 385 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,199 Speaker 1: and it's the Raiders who get toasted playing press man 386 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 1: in the two minute Way to Go Van, Yes, sir, 387 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,399 Speaker 1: I want to jump on this too, because there was 388 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 1: a couple of Raiders fans that you know, they're they're 389 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,120 Speaker 1: angry obviously at the end they were feeling no pain 390 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,399 Speaker 1: until the very end, and they were like, oh whatever, 391 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: like like you're celebrating like it's a super Bowl, it's 392 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: you're you're four and nine whatever. And I just sort 393 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: of sat there and smiled and started walking back, you know, 394 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: to my car, and I'm thinking on the drive home, 395 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,919 Speaker 1: and it's I was like, why am I so like 396 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: emotional like I feel? And I'm not the one out 397 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: there sitting in the cold tub doing all this stuff anyways. 398 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: But you saw that reaction from Bobby Wagner on the 399 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 1: sideline when they won, and it's this team that is. 400 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 1: And we're here week in and week out just sort 401 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: of following this team and rooting for them. And you 402 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,159 Speaker 1: know these players and you get to know them, and 403 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: you get to know these coaches and like they're people too. 404 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: You're not just turning on your TV on Sunday and 405 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 1: you're like, oh, my team isn't doing well. I'm gonna 406 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,479 Speaker 1: shut it off. So like to see, like exactly what 407 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,239 Speaker 1: you just said, MD for them to just keep you know, 408 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: what other choice do they have? Everyone's like, oh, same answer, 409 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 1: Like there's a lot of games left there are you 410 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 1: have to get out there and play your damnedest and 411 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 1: see what happens. And so I think that's why, you know, 412 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: people on Twitter are like, oh, they're celebrating like they 413 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,479 Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl. It's their fourth game. This felt. 414 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 1: This defense has been you know, carrying a lot of 415 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 1: this team for a while because of all the injuries 416 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,160 Speaker 1: all over the place. And I think for the offense 417 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 1: to come and do a drive like that, to see 418 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner with that type of celebration on the sideline 419 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,879 Speaker 1: like literally makes my heart burst, Like I was just 420 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: I just feel so happy for this team and for 421 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 1: the future too. Yeah, it's four and nine, there's still 422 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: some there's some more games left, but we've got maybe 423 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: a new you know, jump start into this offense, or 424 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,640 Speaker 1: maybe we have game planning like you said, bringing out 425 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: the Chronics and a two two out. Well then all 426 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: of a sudden, look who's coming back? Cooper Cup's going 427 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: to be back Alan Robins, Like, all of a sudden, 428 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 1: these this team, like there is a lot of hope 429 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,439 Speaker 1: here rams fans. Is That's what I'm trying to portray. 430 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 1: It's it's funny those Raider fans, right that say, you're 431 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: celebrating like it's the Super Bowl. I think you're missing 432 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 1: the point because you should celebrate every win like it's 433 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,959 Speaker 1: the super Bowl. Now you have to be professional and 434 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 1: move on, that's what you have to do. But you 435 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 1: should feel you forward like you just won the Super 436 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 1: Bowl when you beat anybody in the National Football League. 437 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: And the second question to the Raider fans, you're celebrating 438 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,159 Speaker 1: like it's the Super Bowl, Well, how would you know? 439 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 1: I would just wait for a while. So then moving forward, 440 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: and I'll be brief. This defense has been inspirational to 441 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 1: go through what they've gone through, and I've been there. 442 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 1: When you're trying to defend and an offense that's trying 443 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: to find its way, it's hard. It really is hard 444 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: to get in that ice tub to build yourself up 445 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,360 Speaker 1: so you can tear yourself down on Sunday, Thursdays and Mondays. 446 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 1: It is hard. But Bobby Wagner is a dang soldier really. 447 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,360 Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't matter what's going on around him, 448 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: he is still bringing it. That third and one stop 449 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: at the end, great stunt by Greg Gaines. You tied 450 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 1: up three, you allowed Bobby to shoot the gap and 451 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,680 Speaker 1: he did not miss. We said this pregame after the game, 452 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,919 Speaker 1: you had versus Seattle, right, Bobby was all emotional. That 453 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: was big, and it was heartbreaking for him not to 454 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 1: get the game ball. For me to walk up to 455 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 1: him as a defensive coordinator and say, you know what, Bobby, 456 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 1: I know that was tough, but today I need you 457 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,360 Speaker 1: to tackle Josh Jacobs twenty times to win the football game. 458 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,159 Speaker 1: And he got fourteen of them, and you made the 459 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: biggest stop of the game. So whatever you thought you 460 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 1: knew about Bobby Wagner, whatever I thought I knew about 461 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner, I tore that up through it in the trash. 462 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 1: I'm enjoying what I see. This man is an absolute beast. 463 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: He is special. You need to regard him in the 464 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 1: same vein as Aaron Donald and all of the greats 465 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: on that side of the ball. He is that good 466 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 1: second game without Aaron Donald and the Raiders get fifty 467 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: seven yards and two first downs in the second half. 468 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 1: That's awesome. And I think the sentiment that I'm picking 469 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: up on from you all is that five ten years 470 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: from now, God willing, when we're doing this, I hope, 471 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: and we're thinking back on this year. I don't think 472 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,679 Speaker 1: the main takeaway is going to be. That was the 473 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,880 Speaker 1: worst title defense in NFL history. That was the worst 474 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: post super Bowl hangover that's ever been. I think we'll 475 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 1: probably be talking about. Remember that time Baker Maysfield came 476 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,360 Speaker 1: in on two sleeps and started from his own two 477 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 1: yard line with no timeouts. We're in the matrix. It 478 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: didn't happen. Got two fourth quarter touchdowns to beat the Raiders, like, 479 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: and you ran the silver and black out of your building, Like, 480 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 1: oh my god, unbelievable. It's not the super Bowl, right, 481 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: but what a way to cap a year that started 482 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 1: with one JB. You couldn't tell me. You couldn't tell 483 00:23:58,200 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 1: me that wasn't the super Bowl. The way I felt 484 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 1: last tonight, I was exhausted, I'm talking about I felt 485 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 1: like we just we as a broadcast team, emptied the tank, right, 486 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,199 Speaker 1: Like Maurice gave out like nineteen game balls and I 487 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: gave out like seven too, Like everybody on everybody Maybe 488 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 1: you got one. De Marco you got, everybody got, everybody 489 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: got yeah. Yeah, listen, Erica, you got you got the 490 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 1: you you were, You definitely got one. On to me again, 491 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 1: It's it's the it's the we call it. We used 492 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 1: to call it the beautiful struggle right in Jacksonville is 493 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: you never we weren't winning. Things were tough, but yeah, 494 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: you had to be a professional. And you talked about 495 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner. You always heard stories about him and his 496 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,919 Speaker 1: preparation and his leadership and all the different things. And 497 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,159 Speaker 1: that's it's like reading a book, right, like I you know, 498 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: I've traveled the world to night you read about the 499 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 1: great period mcgees and all these things. It's once you 500 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: go and touch it, though it's different, it's like, oh, 501 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:54,640 Speaker 1: this is this is special. The same thing with Bobby Wagner, right, 502 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: the same thing with all these other guys, to see 503 00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,159 Speaker 1: them keep fighting and struggling and then to find the 504 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 1: way to win in a game that didn't even matter, 505 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 1: Like what is this game? To be honest, this game 506 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: actually hurts you more than it helps you, right, it 507 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 1: lowers your draft pick, to be honest, in the bigger 508 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 1: pitch of the biggest scheme of things. But to see 509 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: the way they they fought and they clawed and you 510 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,959 Speaker 1: had a team with jab they had twenty five rushes 511 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 1: in the first half, right, like most of the rams 512 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: have facing the McVeigh era. They like and you're a 513 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: middle linebacker. Your jobs to tackle Josh Jacobs every play 514 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:30,120 Speaker 1: on Thursday night on a short week, like when most 515 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 1: of the time defenses give up twenty thirty points on 516 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 1: short weeks. Like they stood up. They stood up tall. 517 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 1: To Hey Morris to get his team to play, to 518 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,919 Speaker 1: get his leaders to lead, to Sean McVeigh to have 519 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 1: a newcomer come in and get the guys around him 520 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,400 Speaker 1: to help him. You saw Matthew Stafford talking to him, 521 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,360 Speaker 1: coaching them up on the sidelines. You saw the obviously 522 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 1: Brian Allen and Tyler Higbey and all these guys coaching 523 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: everyone up to Karen Williams who comes in and gives 524 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:02,199 Speaker 1: a great burst some big to everyone who fought right. 525 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 1: And again, when you're a rookie, don't know any better, 526 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,680 Speaker 1: so we normally don't talk about those guys, right, But 527 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,719 Speaker 1: this wasn't. At the end of the day, this might 528 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,679 Speaker 1: have been more energy I felt from this team than 529 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,400 Speaker 1: I did in that Super Bowl game because it felt 530 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 1: like it meant more right. And there's more games to play. 531 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 1: But you have a lot of winners on this team 532 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 1: who weren't winning and they found a way to get 533 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 1: it done. Time to leave it there. I'll say this, 534 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,680 Speaker 1: the trip to lambeau Field and sixteen degrees or whatever 535 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: it's gonna be on Monday night, a lot more exciting, 536 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: a lot more anticipating than it was a day ago. 537 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 1: Might not even need those handwarmers.
