1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,440 Speaker 1: From the RAMS Studio, connected by AT and T. Welcome 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 1: to Between the Horns. This is the official podcast of 3 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,479 Speaker 1: the Rams dot Com. I'm your host, Miles Simmons. Today 4 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 1: I am joined by DeMarco far right here. Yes, and 5 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,800 Speaker 1: I'm very excited to do this today because you and 6 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,040 Speaker 1: I we've known each other for now a couple of years. Yeah. Yeah, 7 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 1: and we see each other practice all the time. Yeah, 8 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,239 Speaker 1: and once that happens, we start getting together pair you 9 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 1: do and picking my brain about football, so you won't 10 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 1: need me anymore. Yeah, it's not true. It's like asking 11 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 1: the long snapper how do I how do I snap? 12 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: You know, come on, wait a minute, job security? You know, 13 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 1: it's always fun, good conversations, Yes, exactly. So now I 14 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: want to sort of share this insight that I've been 15 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,879 Speaker 1: able to glean over the last couple of years with everybody. 16 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 1: So we'll start with the fact that the Rams beat 17 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Yeah, thirty seven to thirty two. 18 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,880 Speaker 1: You're absolutely right. Definitely a hell of a game. What 19 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: were your first impressions? First, you owe me like an apology? 20 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: Oh boy, because who caught the first touchdown? Brian Quick? 21 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: Brian Quick? Yes, our favorite subject every day at practice. 22 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: This is what he won't tell you. That's the guy 23 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,559 Speaker 1: we talk about the most. So when he goes deep 24 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,320 Speaker 1: and in case keenum let it go and it was 25 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: open um. The first guy I thought about was you 26 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 1: actually really? I mean, then he scored and then I 27 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: got happy, and then I got back into my job. 28 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: But just for that second when the balls in the air, 29 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: I'm like, he's gonna score. I hope Miles is watching watching, 30 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 1: I was watching boom. Um No, but uh, it was 31 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: a it was a test. Um. Uh. Some of that 32 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,119 Speaker 1: stuff was an unneeded test, as in, you lose William Hayes, 33 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,320 Speaker 1: you lose you know, a starter on the D line, 34 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: then you lose Eugene Sims to being thrown out, so 35 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: you're shorthanded there and you're on the road versus a 36 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: quarterback who just won't quit. Yes, yeah, so I mean 37 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: you were tested and um the team found a way 38 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 1: to win. Um. I thought that was awesome. It's a 39 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: w I think Tampa is a really good football team. Um. 40 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: I think at the end of the year they they 41 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: could be right in the mix in the South. But 42 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: it was a good win. Anytime you get a road win, 43 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: it's it's always good. Yeah, Okay, let's go back to 44 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: the offense and you you brought it up Brian Quick 45 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: and he got that first touchdown. And to me, that 46 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: play I thought was just something where all right, Tampa 47 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: Bay is in a situation where they're probably telling you, 48 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: if you can do that on the outside, go ahead, 49 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: and we want to make sure that you can do it. 50 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: We're gonna have you prove it to us. Is that 51 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,079 Speaker 1: the way you thought too? Yeah, I mean, look, we 52 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: San Francisco, right, you go to Seattle and the game 53 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: plan is obvious. They're trying to stop Todd Gurley and 54 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: the only way to do that in the National Football 55 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: because I think the Rams offensive line is young, it's experienced, 56 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,359 Speaker 1: and it's they're improving. So hat on a hat blocking, 57 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's you know who plays the best 58 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: on that snap. But to stop the run, you're gonna 59 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 1: have to load the box, so they're gonna have to 60 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: bring the extra safety down, which is daring you to throw. 61 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 1: So you didn't see a lot of it in San Francisco. 62 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 1: I would agree that the right move is probably not 63 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 1: trying to force the football against Seattle into the strength 64 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,519 Speaker 1: of their defense. Trying to run through it was possibly 65 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 1: the best game plan, but Tampa Bay trying to do 66 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: that and daring you to throw at some point was 67 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 1: gonna bite you in the butt. So your players were 68 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: better than the scouting and the game plan that they 69 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: tried to roll out, and they got beat with it. 70 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: Tavon's touchdown at the ends was awesome. Brian quick Early. 71 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,079 Speaker 1: I even thought coming back out of the weather delay 72 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: on the third second eleven, Yeah, it was third and eleven. Yeah, 73 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: and your your play call was let's try a deep 74 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: shot to Kenny Brenton pick up the first down. So 75 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: that's what they were giving you, and you had success 76 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: and you went to it. So yeah, it's gonna give 77 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: the next team something else to think about. Maybe they 78 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: can make these plays down the field, well exactly, And 79 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: I think that's what they need to do in order 80 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: to get Todd Gurley going in the first place, because 81 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: a lot of people are saying, oh, what's wrong with 82 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: the run game. What's wrong with the run game? But 83 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: if you think about it, if you can't make the 84 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: players on the outside, then how are you going to 85 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: have open running lanes anyway? True? I mean, look, there 86 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: you're always gonna be outnumbered in the box. When you 87 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: have a guy like Todd Gurley, I guess there is 88 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: no secret what he can do. Sure, exactly. Yeah, just 89 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: turn on the film from twenty fifteen. I mean he 90 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: can rip you. He can absolutely, you know, rip you 91 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: for big yards and he can beat you. Think about 92 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: Arizona in Arizona. So yes, they're gonna drop that eighth 93 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: guy in. So what's wrong with the run game? Um, 94 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: you'd like Todd Gurley to have more yards, But as 95 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: far as attempts, which I think is important, and the 96 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: fact that he put it in twice versus Tampa, I 97 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 1: think the run game is coming along. So as long 98 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: as the passing game continues to supplement what they're doing, 99 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: it's all going to grow together. How about that sixteen 100 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: yard run that he had toward the toward the spending one. Yes, yeah, 101 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: I wish he would have scored or of a signal 102 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 1: touchdown because I think coach is right that run deserves 103 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 1: a little more play than what it's getting. That was phenomenal, 104 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: tremendous well, because he's like defying the laws of physics 105 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: and gravity almost you're not supposed to be able to 106 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: hold yourself up like that when you're just moving like that. 107 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: That's not I could not do that. There's no way 108 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 1: I could do it. Well, that's to me, that's a 109 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: classic NFL run, NFL running back run. I mean, you're 110 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: not supposed to go down on first content at this 111 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,040 Speaker 1: level if you're running back. The good ones don't. So 112 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: sometimes you're gonna have to make guys mess. You're gonna 113 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: have to break tackles to make something happen. So clearly 114 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 1: he's got the talent. So I think that kind of 115 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: shows off what kind of back he is and what 116 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 1: he's going to be in the future. Yeah, I think 117 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 1: so too. And so let's talk a little bit more 118 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: about Tavon Austin. You mention his touchdown, Like, I think 119 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 1: one of the things that we've kind of noticed is that, 120 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: and you know, I've talked about this a lot that 121 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: Keenam sometimes cannot necessarily find where Tavon Austin is on 122 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: the field. But what I thought they did a good 123 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: job of was kind of making sure Tavon Austin got 124 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: involved early in the game and then kind of let 125 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: things take off from there. Because he had one hundred 126 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: over one hundred yards from scrimmage in that game on Yeah, 127 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: you know, look, go back to San Francisco. Hard to 128 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: find him over the middle. They're huge. I think the 129 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 1: game plan has varied slightly when they're throwing the football 130 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: to Tavon, and I think it's worked. Short quarterback, short receiver. 131 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: I mean, come on, it's tough. It's exactly tough, right, 132 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 1: and that's gonna be the case whenever you've got Keena 133 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: back there. And it's not anybody's fault, it's just the 134 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: reality of the situation. But you can find him down 135 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: the field if you get good protection up front. So 136 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 1: I think what's what we haven't done is give the 137 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: old line proper credit. I mean, one sack versus Tampa 138 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,119 Speaker 1: on the road, hostile environment, I think that's awesome, And 139 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: you could honestly argue if you wanted to that case 140 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: ran himself into that set, I would definitely argue it. Actually, 141 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 1: actually you could come away with zero. So the protection 142 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: is there. You could form a pocket to where your 143 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: shorter quarterback can see that guy down the field. But 144 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: it's all about how you block up front. So give 145 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: them credit too. But you know, Tavon is improving his 146 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 1: route running and that's only gonna help him his overall game, 147 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: which helps the offense. Yeah, and so I think one 148 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: of the things you just brought this up that the 149 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: fact that he's got a clean pocket that really helped 150 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: him on that forty four yard or to Brian Quick 151 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: because you notice on that play, like Rob Avenstein right tackle, 152 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: he's running the guy out of the pocket. Yeah, so 153 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: that case, Keenum can't have that clean, clean pocket to 154 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 1: throw it down the field, you don't get counter moves. 155 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 1: I mean, smaller quarterbacks can help themselves by stepping up 156 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: into the pocket, right, but the guy's up front have 157 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 1: to run people by and you don't get counter moves. Um, 158 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: that's a tough way to coach. That's a tough play 159 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 1: to way to play. But like we talked about the 160 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: proof is there one sack? Um. You know he's been 161 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: pressured some via Blisses. Who hasn't everybody does, But um, 162 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: I think the ability to get the ball off and 163 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: the ability not to get sacked in lose yardage, I 164 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: think is it speaks volumes about the quarterback and the 165 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: old line and you're you're hitting guys down the field now, 166 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: So maybe the offense is starting to evolve, and that's 167 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: what you have to hope. I mean, just we'll wrap 168 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: this up on the offense by saying they were better, right, 169 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: I mean just generally, you can definitely say they were 170 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: better because yes, that's the one thing, touchdowns, right, Yeah, 171 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: And but they also you know, they picked up eighteen 172 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: first downs, they had three six of thirteen on third down. Yeah, 173 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: you know that doubles their third down outputs coming into 174 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: the game. But there's the one things that we can 175 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: always point to. And I love third down conversion percentage, 176 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: it's awesome, But what about the ones that really matter, 177 00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: like towards the end of the game, when you're trying 178 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: to ice it, like where you can't have drops and 179 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: you can't make mistakes, So those things can be improved. 180 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: But I love I love when the numbers go up, 181 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: no doubt. Yes, yes, and I think we agree on 182 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: that too. So let's turn it to the defense, where 183 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: there were a lot of yards. They played a lot 184 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: of pamos as a beast. Jamis Winston's a mom. That's 185 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: what I keep telling everybody. Yeah, and it's funny because 186 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: this is almost the same thing we kind of saw 187 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: in that game. What was a week fifteen ye last 188 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: year where Jamis in the second half, he's just he's 189 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: just firing. Hey, yeah, he's the walking dead. Yeah. I mean, 190 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: you're really gonna have to, like if you go into 191 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: like this fascination with zombies, you're gonna have to kill 192 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: him to stop him. You're gonna have to beat him 193 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: every minute of every quarter of that game. Yeah, he's 194 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: not gonna stop. So I thought that was tremendous. And 195 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: you were shorthanded defensively, so at some point they're gonna 196 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: wear you down, which is what Tampa did. Dirt Cutter 197 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: was I mean, he realized what was going on and 198 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: he wore the Rams defense down. So sometimes Jamis wasn't 199 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: under pressure with that receiving core, He's going to complete 200 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: a lot of passage. Okay, but you say sometimes Jamis 201 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: wasn't under pressure. A lot of the time he was. Yeah, 202 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: And one of those guys was Aaron Donald. Can we 203 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: just talk for a second about how unbelievable that guy 204 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: is that he can play the positions that he plays. 205 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,839 Speaker 1: I feel bad for JJ Watt for being on I 206 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: R yes, but I'm happy from this perspective because now 207 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: people will get to see what Aaron Donald is. Yes, 208 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: because they're similar. You can line him up anywhere talking 209 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: about Aaron Donald. Yeah yeah, left end, right end. It 210 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: does not matter if it's an obvious passing down or 211 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 1: a rundown. He's a factor in the play period, end 212 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 1: of the story. You can't keep him out of your backfield. 213 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: I think that's tremendous. It is tremendous. And you know, 214 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: just the simple fact that he's a smaller guy, you know, 215 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 1: and he can play this three technique, but he can 216 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 1: also play os yea. And then they've played him at 217 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: in the odd front at the end before. Yeah, but 218 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 1: I believe this is the first time where they've had 219 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: an even front and they had four down linement and 220 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: they played him at end first time I can remember 221 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: seeing him at a four man front out at end, 222 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: you know. So yeah, yeah, so so yeah. I mean, 223 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: but here's the thing when when people call him short, right, 224 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: let's just put you at offensive tackle. Let's say Miles 225 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: Simmons is now six six three twenty Wow, okay, so 226 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: you're huge, yes, really big. Would you rather block a 227 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: guy that was six four six five or a guy 228 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: that's six foot one? Now they're both coming off the 229 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: ball like a skulded dog. Yes, But would you rather 230 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 1: at six six squad all the way down to block 231 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: a six one guy or punch straight across to a 232 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: guy that's straight across? All right, so we can we can. 233 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: I actually think at end he's got the advantage, probably does. 234 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: It's not being small, it's the other guy might be 235 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,559 Speaker 1: too tall for him. Well, right, you got problems with 236 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: this guy at out on the out on the edge 237 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: of the football because he has a two way go 238 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: and he's got the leverage advantage already and he's moving fast. 239 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: So I think out there calling him too small might 240 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: be the other you might you might say the other 241 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: way around. I think you might be too big to 242 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: block him. That's interesting, it's it's funny, yeah, yeah, because 243 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: it's not necessarily what you would think. And you know, 244 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,319 Speaker 1: there are people who can go outside inside. Michael Bennett 245 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,079 Speaker 1: is the first one that comes to my mind. Right, 246 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: But I think now that you've sort of seeing Aaron 247 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: Donald do this and he said it wasn't anything too 248 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: different for him, and he did it in college, etc. Etc. 249 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: And I don't know, I mean, if he's not going 250 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: to brag on himself somebody else has got to brag 251 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: on him because this is unique. Well, you have to 252 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: he can do it, and you don't see it that often. 253 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: I bet there are other guys that may be able 254 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: to have success going inside outside, but they have the 255 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: personnel so you don't have to write. And I don't 256 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: think they're as good as Aaron Donald. They probably aren't. Yeah, 257 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 1: think you can be an effective player. You can get 258 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 1: through a couple of reps with you playing defensive end. 259 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: But I mean, this guy's a factor no matter where 260 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: you line him up, even in pass coverage. He's pretty 261 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: damn good. Yeah, you've seen him when he dropped out. 262 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: It's ridiculous, and like, that's what I'm saying. I don't 263 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: know that there are more guys that are like that, 264 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 1: but let's let's keep spinning it. And yeah, I feel 265 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: sorry for the next six one defensive tackle they block, thinking, oh, 266 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 1: he's gonna be like Aaron Donald, right, Oh yeah, we'll 267 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 1: just draft another guy that looks like him. Well, I mean, 268 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 1: there's something special about this guy, and then his size 269 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: also helps. It's just it's it's pretty remarkable. And I 270 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: remember in training camp there's somebody asked Fisher and I 271 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: don't remember who was about you know, Oh, do you 272 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 1: think Aaron Donald is sort of this new type of 273 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: defensive tackle right right now? And it's like it's a 274 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: copycat league. Man. If you have success here, every other 275 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: team is going to say, let's just draft a guy 276 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 1: with those dimensions and we'll get the same production. Yeah. 277 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 1: Good good luck getting the same work. And we always 278 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: call him busts. Yeah, oh man, that's we always. But 279 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: you're probably right. But let's say what Robert Quinn too, 280 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,839 Speaker 1: because yeah, he had some really really key plays, not 281 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: just the tackle at the end, but the forced fumble 282 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: on Jamis Winston that Ethan Westbrooks ended up taking seventy 283 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: seven yards back. Does he look like Robert Quinn to you? 284 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 1: You know? Yeah, when he puts his hand down those 285 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 1: obvious passing downs and you see him come off the 286 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: football about you know, a foot off the ground and 287 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: he's low at the moment of impact and he flips 288 00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: those hips and he turns towards a quarterback. Yeah, he 289 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: looks like Robert Quinn. The other part of that is 290 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 1: this is what I mean about death, because he was 291 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: great working with Eugene Simms. Like you come in I 292 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: come him and they tag team a guy and then 293 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 1: they take advantage of those passing downs. But when you 294 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: lose most of your depth, he has to play a 295 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: lot longer. You know, he's not the biggest guy in 296 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 1: the world, but I still thinks he's great. But I 297 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 1: wouldn't want him out there, you know, for sixteen eighteen 298 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 1: plays in a row, when they're running the ball at him, 299 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: you're gonna wear him down. Yeah, I'd rather save him 300 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 1: for those passing downs because when that happens, I don't 301 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: think there's a left tackle out there that can really 302 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 1: just erase him one on one. I think he's that good. 303 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: So you saw when he dials it up and goes. 304 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: He can get the ball out, he can get to 305 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: the quarterback. He can make those plays. I do. I 306 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: do worry about him being worn down in games. I 307 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: do too, and I think that's why you saw him 308 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,199 Speaker 1: this game Ethan Westbrooks was playing. I think he played 309 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: eighty percent of the snaps, maybe a little bit above that. 310 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald played eighty six, which is just in a 311 00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:00,040 Speaker 1: normally large number for a defensive tackle. As you know, what, 312 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: what's the highest number of snaps you ever played? I have. 313 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: I have no idea. I remember God, I don't want 314 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: to say his name, but we were defending a turnover 315 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: machine at quarterback. Okay, yeah, in the early part of 316 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: my career. So I'm sure I played upwards of ninety before. Yeah, 317 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: I've been out there. Yeah, it happens. It happens. Look, 318 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 1: Aaron Done will play in how many snaps? He played 319 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: eighty six percent of ninety So okay, so good. I 320 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: want you to play more. Ethan Westbrooks. I'm so happy 321 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: for it because he played pretty well. They did. You're 322 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: not expected to play that many snaps, but you did, 323 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: and you played it pretty well. So yeah. I thought 324 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: the D line as a whole just making up for 325 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: those lost guys. They did great. Yeah, and so okay, 326 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: let's talk about something else that happened in this game. 327 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: And it was something that was weird eating your words 328 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: on Brian Quick. Okay, let's talk about that fucking the 329 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: cameras right there. I apologize that, Brian Quick. Brian Quick, 330 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: I'm sorry for never believing it. And I was right 331 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: there in the sideline. He's asking the ball guy like 332 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 1: where's the football for his touchdown? And I'm like, let's 333 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: give it to Miles. No, that's what I told us, 334 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: Let's give it to Miles. You know, he wanted to 335 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 1: keep it from himself, but I thought we should give 336 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: it to you. Now. You know what it is. It's 337 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: really good for Brian Quick to get that touchdown big time. 338 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: You know. I asked Fisher about this um in his 339 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: Tuesday press conference as like, you know, it's it nice 340 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: that Quick was able to do this after everything he's overcome, 341 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: and he said, yeah, from that standpoint, sure, but Brian 342 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: Quick still got it's his job right, And let's not 343 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 1: make it clear he's not hating on Quick. No, it's 344 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: it's it's been it's been a little frustrating with him. Sure, 345 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: you see him started to come along and then the 346 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 1: shoulder kind of you know, sends him back a little bit. 347 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: But we always talk at receiver, who's your best athlete 348 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: at receiver, your best your best athlete, Well, probably the 349 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: guy who's six three and looks like you can jump 350 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 1: out of the gym. Yes, okay, that that's what we 351 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: argue about. This is true. But what we also argue about, 352 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: and I want to get this clear and yeah, is 353 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: that even if you can do that, you have to 354 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: make the place and that's what Fisher has been talking 355 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: about too. I think somebody said, oh, he had trouble 356 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 1: holding onto the ball, and Fisher goes, no, wasn't holding 357 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: onto the ball. Wasn't a fumble like Kenny britt It 358 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: was he needs to catch catch it right, right, And 359 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: so when you're a wide receiver, you are paid to 360 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: cat catch the ball. That's number one exactly right, and 361 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: he's getting there, Yesta, we gotta waste to go. But yeah, 362 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: it wasn't just that forty four yard that the catch 363 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: that he made elevating where Kate's Keenan threw it high 364 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: is on the web side. Who else can make that 365 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 1: play on this team? Kenny Brittany, Kenny britt can I 366 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: mean tall, big guy, but I mean who else? We 367 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: don't have anybody else at six three okay Binger, Yeah, 368 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: I can get up and get it like that? Yeah, okay, right, 369 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 1: I mean he was just about as up as tall 370 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 1: as the lights when he made that. He was okay, 371 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: And I like, I said, that was very impressive. And 372 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: who likes him? Case Keenum, I can throw it anywhere, 373 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: he can get it pretty much? Yeah, that that that 374 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: would make me like him. It would make me like 375 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: him too. And the same thing happens with Kase Keenaman 376 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: Kenny Britt, which I'm sure you've know it true. Oh 377 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: my god, Kenny Britt. I'm look. I hate saying that 378 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: guys look better or he looks better. I mean, he's 379 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: like he's playing inspired football, better football than I saw 380 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: last season. Maybe that was all quarterback. Who knows, I 381 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 1: don't know. Well, you know what's funny is talking to 382 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: him a little bit in the locker room. He said 383 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 1: once that you know, he worked a lot with case 384 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,639 Speaker 1: Keenum and he said that that's really the first time 385 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 1: he's worked with a quarterback in the off season, yeah, 386 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 1: for the summer, And he said that he did it 387 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 1: really because he missed most of thotas. He missed all 388 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,439 Speaker 1: of thotas actually, okay, And so it was all about 389 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: making sure that they got together. I think he said 390 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: they got together two sometimes three times a week and 391 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: they would just go throw and they throw and catch 392 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,120 Speaker 1: and they got on the same page, which to me, 393 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: if you go back till last year, they were really 394 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: on the same page for when case Keenum was in 395 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: there for those last four games, right, So it's basically 396 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,360 Speaker 1: just an expansion of what they've been doing, and it's 397 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,920 Speaker 1: worked so far this season. I thought the coolest thing 398 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: what preseason game was that I know we were home, 399 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: I think is Kansas City or Dallas when Kenny stayed 400 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,920 Speaker 1: out there with with Goth. Oh was that the fourth 401 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: preseason game when Goth through him the touchdown? Yeah? That 402 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 1: was in Minnesota, Minnesota fourth preason game. Veteran guys like 403 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: Kenny Britt are usually out getting ready for Week one, yes, 404 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: but there he is trying to get the young quarterback 405 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 1: ready to go. I thought that was cool. That said 406 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 1: a lot about Kenny Britt this year. Yeah, and I 407 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,160 Speaker 1: think what you said is starting to translate into production 408 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 1: on the field, which is which is good for the 409 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 1: Rams period. It is and you just want, as Fish 410 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 1: just keep saying, you know, you just want that consistency, right, 411 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: you know, you don't want Kenny Britt to fumble when 412 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:24,879 Speaker 1: he's getting he's got it second and seven. Let's say 413 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 1: he's gonna get a first down, Yeah, and then boom 414 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 1: balls out and then they go out on the field 415 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,439 Speaker 1: and see the defensive guy in me says, hell of 416 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 1: a play by Lavante David. It is hell of a 417 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: play to get the ball out right. Yeah, um, funny story. 418 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: I used to like give Marshall fall a lot of heat, 419 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: just just talking back and forth, and I said, how 420 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 1: many times have you ever fumbled? And he said none? 421 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 1: I said, what he says, I'm Marshall, You've never fumbled 422 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: in your entire career. No, not once. I said, that's crap. Right, 423 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 1: he goes, it's been stripped, but I've never fumbled. What 424 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 1: does that makes sense? Right? Fumbled means I just drop it. 425 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: Stripped means a guy knocked out by the defender. I like, 426 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: it's been stripped. That means you give credit to the defense. 427 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 1: So let's say Kenny got stripped. Kenny got stripped. Are 428 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,719 Speaker 1: you all right? Fine? But no matter what happened, right, 429 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 1: it still ends up as a thirty seven to thirty 430 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 1: two win for the Rams. That makes done two and 431 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,360 Speaker 1: one for the first time since two thousand and six? 432 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: Has it been that long? Has been that one? Well? 433 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 1: Well that's uh, you know it's gonna be awesome for 434 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,439 Speaker 1: the guys in the locker room, awesome for the coaching 435 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: staff because you know, everybody teaches to make the playoffs. 436 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 1: You take it by quarters. Yes, exactly. To finish off 437 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,639 Speaker 1: each quarter, you've got to be what you'd like to be, 438 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 1: three and what four? And oh right, but no worse 439 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 1: than two and two. So let's say sitting here on Wednesday, Yes, 440 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: no matter what happens, you've accomplished you know, goal number one. Yes, yeah, 441 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: I mean you want to get the win this weekend 442 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: to go to three and one, but you can finish 443 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 1: no worse than two and two. So you've done that already. 444 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 1: That's got to be cool. It is, and I think 445 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 1: it is too. So let's stalk about the Arizona Cardinals 446 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: because this is where the Rams will have to go. 447 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 1: And it's funny, you know, there's a lot of similarities 448 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:02,159 Speaker 1: now between this game this year in week four and 449 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 1: last year in Week four and now you except for 450 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: the fact that the Ramps are two in one instead 451 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: of one and two. Yeah, I saw it today, like 452 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,120 Speaker 1: it's gonna be the same broadcasters for Fox. They're doing 453 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 1: this game at yeah wow, in Arizona at University of 454 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 1: Phoenix Stadium week four. The only difference now is that 455 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 1: we're coming from a different airport. That's crazy. Yeah, that's 456 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 1: the only difference. And kind of someone and a quarterback, 457 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,879 Speaker 1: and well, I'm not believing the hype that you know, 458 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 1: Arizona is you know this this wounded monster. Absolutely not. Yeah, 459 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: I don't think they played that well versus Buffalo. But 460 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,919 Speaker 1: this team is dangerous. Absolutely it is. Yeah, it's just 461 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: you know, watching that game, to me, it just kind 462 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: of seemed like some of the plays Carson Palmer and 463 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: his wide receiver is just worn on the same page. 464 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: And you know, talking to Bruce Arians on the conference 465 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 1: Calliehead with LA Media today, basically he goes our receivers 466 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: dropping too many balls when we're just not converting third 467 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,880 Speaker 1: downs and he said he puts that he I think 468 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,880 Speaker 1: he literally said he puts that more on the receivers 469 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,160 Speaker 1: than he does the quarterback. Right now, Yeah, the way 470 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:06,160 Speaker 1: they played it looked like a team that's probably not 471 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 1: going to make the playoffs. But if they played better, 472 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: if they hit the plays that are there versus Buffalo, 473 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,920 Speaker 1: that game is completely different. It is. Yeah, So they're 474 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: still dangerous. Larry Fitzgerald is a Hall of Famer, Carson 475 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 1: Palmer is still one of the better quarterbacks in the league, 476 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 1: and their defense is multiple and crazy and tough to block. 477 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: So yeah, they're going to provide a lot of problems 478 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: for the Rams. So look, I don't want anybody to 479 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 1: think just because their record is one and two and 480 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 1: they got beat by an inspired Buffalo team that Arizona 481 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,160 Speaker 1: isn't as good as everyone said they are. They're very, 482 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: very good, and you're gonna see it on Sunday guaranteed. Yeah. 483 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,119 Speaker 1: You know, is Larry Fitzgerald ever going to retire? Do 484 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: you think that that might be a thing based on 485 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 1: his performance? I don't know if. Yeah, at some point 486 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 1: he's gonna walk away from the game. It's just how 487 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: many more how many more yards is he gonna put 488 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,400 Speaker 1: up against the Rams? Right? I saw something today. He's 489 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 1: had one hundred and fifty three receptions in sixteen touchdowns 490 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: versus the Rams in his career. I think I've seen 491 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 1: it every single one of them. You probably have. It's 492 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 1: really frustrating, it is. I mean, look, we know it's fits. 493 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: How can you stop him from catching the ball? I 494 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: don't think you can, but you can try to limit 495 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: the damage and keep him out of the end zone. 496 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,679 Speaker 1: But he's gonna catch passes. Yeah, They're gonna find each other. 497 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 1: Carson Palmer and lawyer Fitzgerald and they've got some other 498 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 1: deep threats. I think Floyd's is a beast too. I agree, 499 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 1: yes absolutely. And John Brown remember that game two years 500 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,679 Speaker 1: ago that they played down in the desert where he 501 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 1: just went deep. And I don't think that was even 502 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 1: Carson Palmer that threw that pass, right, Drew Stanton, wasn't it. 503 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 1: I think it was Drew Stanton that came off the bench. Yeah, 504 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 1: he came off the bench and it was like it 505 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 1: was like some four or five play ninety some yard 506 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: drive and all of a sudden they were in the 507 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,880 Speaker 1: end zone. You're in the press box for games, right, Yeah? 508 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: How do you not throw things in there? Oh? How 509 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 1: do you maintain your professionalism with stuff like that happens? 510 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: I just kind of sit there and sigh quietly to myself. Okay, 511 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: See this is where I love Game Day because I 512 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:52,880 Speaker 1: actually have a microphone and I can just let it out. 513 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 1: Yeah you can't, Yeah, because I have a dump button. Two. Yeah, 514 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: how was it different? Okay, we're going to switch gears 515 00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 1: for a look. How's it different for you being on 516 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 1: the sideline than you were in You know, it's more fun? Yeah? 517 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 1: Down there it is because you can be louder and 518 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 1: things like that. Well, it's you're in the action. You 519 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,679 Speaker 1: got a different perspective on things. Um, up there, you 520 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: can read body language through binoculars, yes, but when you're 521 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,360 Speaker 1: right there, you can feel it, you can see everything. 522 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,199 Speaker 1: So the perspective of the game takes me back to 523 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,640 Speaker 1: when I was a player. Yeah. Um, so the difference 524 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,159 Speaker 1: is I'm closer, which makes it better for me, so 525 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: I can analyze better and give it to our listeners 526 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: a little bit differently. And um, the other part is 527 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 1: I have to stand up for you know, three and 528 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: a half four hours, which kind of sucks. Yeah, but 529 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 1: it's not so bad. But you can I'm in the 530 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 1: elements right exactly. You can feel the atmosphere. So like 531 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 1: like the first game, for instance, the Rams are back 532 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 1: in La there at the COLC first home game. Yeah 533 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 1: yeah yeah, on the road kind of that was kind 534 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: of boring. Yeah, sometimes I forget that that game had 535 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 1: that that you got. Yeah, the Rams were shut out, 536 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 1: they were that was tattooed on yourself. Don't ever forget that. Okay, 537 00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: but yeah the first game and um, the seim was awesome. Man, 538 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: it felt like a Super Bowl, um right out Chili 539 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: peppers with are Lebron was on the bench. Yeah, being 540 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: there that kind of lost my did you I hope 541 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,880 Speaker 1: you didn't see me when I did you fe oh 542 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 1: you're I forgot that's your idol, your guy. Did you 543 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: go up and thank him? Well? Did you say thank 544 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 1: you so much? Okay? I honestly a tribute to his feet. 545 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,919 Speaker 1: The honest answer to that is yes. So I'm standing 546 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,120 Speaker 1: on the sidelines and I'm talking to some friends because 547 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 1: they were in town, and you know, it's good to 548 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 1: have that kind of thing happened when it's the first 549 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: game in the coliseum Great and all of a sudden, 550 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: Lebron James comes out of the tunnels one tunnel to 551 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,679 Speaker 1: come out of the coliseum, and I looked to my 552 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 1: left and I'm like, oh my god, is that Lebron James. 553 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,400 Speaker 1: That's Lebron James. And of course he starts walking down 554 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: the sideline and I'm like going crazy, Thank you, Lebron, 555 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: I've been Cleveland. Thank you for winning the championship. He 556 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: didn't really acknowledge me, but that's what you said to 557 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 1: Lebron j Honestly, he lost all cool points. I totally lost. 558 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 1: Were you in a suit? And time when I was 559 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 1: told you can't, I character, I know that's that's cut 560 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: off shorts and T shirts. Well, if like to me, 561 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 1: it's it's a thing. Was like, act like you've been 562 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: there before, and it's I I act like I've been 563 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 1: there before all the time, and on that I just 564 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,880 Speaker 1: did not. I just did not. Okay, that's fair. How 565 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 1: long is it? Have you ever seen the championship in Cleveland? No? Anything? Well, 566 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 1: I mean no, Well, okay, the closest we ever got 567 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: was in two thousand and seven, and that's when the 568 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 1: Indians made it to first. The Cavs went to the 569 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,680 Speaker 1: finals and then got swept by um whatever, the sant 570 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,680 Speaker 1: Antonio Spurs. That happens a lot. Yeah, And I went 571 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,120 Speaker 1: to all those playoff games. Like my mom was awesome 572 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 1: for me to grow up with as a sports fan 573 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: because we had season tickets to all kinds of stuff. 574 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 1: We went to Indians games, we went to Cavs games, 575 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 1: We went to Browns games all time. So I went 576 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 1: to a lot of playoff game. Yes it is, thank 577 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,199 Speaker 1: you for a lot of those. That's a lot of 578 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: bad car rides home. I'm sorry, but you know what 579 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: it was. It was still fun, And it wasn't that 580 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 1: much losing when you know in the two thousands, when 581 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: you had Lebron James. Yeah, and so when Lebron James goes, 582 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 1: that's when I went off college. So it was kind 583 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 1: of like, oh, we're basically gone for the same amount 584 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 1: of time. Um. But yeah, that two thousand and seven 585 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,399 Speaker 1: was good because you had the Indians in the alcs 586 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: and in the Calvs. Also, uh, we're in the finals. 587 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 1: But that's the closest I've really ever been. Okay, then 588 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,919 Speaker 1: I'll I won't give you any you know, crap for 589 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,400 Speaker 1: going Gaga over Lebron, right because like that's a lifetime 590 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: of losing. Well, that's a lifetime of failure. It's been 591 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 1: a factory. Yeah, so your Sunday, Yeah, anybody love you've gotten. 592 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 1: Like I did not think that we were going to 593 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: talk this much about maybe it's all good, but it's good. Yeah, 594 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 1: you guys are gonna yeah, you guys get to know 595 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 1: me now, you know, it's all good. It was, I mean, 596 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 1: it was cool to see like Lebron. I mean, that's 597 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 1: like the Peyton Manning of basketball. It is even I mean, 598 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 1: there's what how many global superstars would you say there 599 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 1: are in sports. Right is global? Lebron is definitely global. Kobe, 600 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 1: Kobe is global. I mean I'm trying to throw a 601 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 1: soccer star in there. But um, Messi right, I think 602 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:07,200 Speaker 1: every Ronaldo. I think everyone in America knows who Messi is. 603 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 1: I think I know every soccer mom or non interested 604 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: you know, person that doesn't care about sports knows Lebron 605 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,880 Speaker 1: and Peyton Manning. Yes, yeah, I think Messi might be there. 606 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 1: I don't think. I think Ronaldo maybe more than Messi. 607 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,360 Speaker 1: I clearly I know a lot about soccer. Guys. Okay, Well, 608 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: I mean that's I'm just saying Lebron is a global Ica. 609 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 1: You can go you can go Gaga over Lebron. But 610 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 1: you had a suit and tie and I did, and 611 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 1: it was bad. I would have liked find you. I 612 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 1: know I deserve to be fine. I would not give 613 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 1: me a dollar. Give me a dollar when the show's over, 614 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 1: give me dollar. I'm finding you. You can't go Gaga 615 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,399 Speaker 1: when you're a Okay, all right, it's true, all right 616 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 1: to bring it back to Arizona. Sorry, guys, if you 617 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 1: don't care about, if you don't care about, you know 618 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,880 Speaker 1: things that we're going to talk about then you can 619 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 1: get out No, but look to do all that to 620 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 1: have global icons show up and then the team and 621 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:03,199 Speaker 1: the coaching staffs they complete the ask that that was 622 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 1: really huge, especially the way the defense played in that game. 623 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,439 Speaker 1: And I think, you know, that's that's something that you 624 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 1: want to get back to in a division game when 625 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,920 Speaker 1: you're going to Arizona and it's kind of a rivalry. Yeah, 626 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: that's a rivalry between these two teams big time. They 627 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,680 Speaker 1: know you're there. Um, there's a respect there from Seattle. 628 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 1: There's respect from the players, there's respect from the coaching staff. 629 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 1: And that's the one thing I'm happy about because I 630 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 1: bet that most sports writers that were there or attending 631 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,119 Speaker 1: the game, or we're gonna write stories about you know, 632 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 1: La coming back to our football, coming back to La. 633 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 1: I bet they had two stories written with Pete Carroll 634 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 1: stealing the show. Yes, and you can only use one, 635 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: which is the Rams won that game. So I thought 636 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 1: that was good. That was great for morale because when 637 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 1: you go back to Arizona. Um, I think part of 638 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 1: the reason that Arizona might be struggling some is because 639 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: they didn't get the win Week one over New England. 640 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 1: Maybe Yeah. That that's tough when you have a chance 641 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: to beat New England and you don't and you go 642 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: back words from there. So I'm glad the Rams. From 643 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 1: a Rams perspective, you beat your rival at home, U 644 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 1: you everyone believe the hype and they went home happy. 645 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 1: So that's going to give the team a lift two. Okay, Yeah, 646 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 1: And I think if we think about this game that happened, 647 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 1: you know, last year, and sort of bringing up all 648 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 1: the similarities, this is the game that Todd Gurley broke 649 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 1: out in, huh. This could maybe be the game that 650 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: Todd Gurley breaks out in again this year, I hope. 651 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 1: So look, you're all dependent on what happens in front 652 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 1: um as far as vision goes and running the football. 653 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: I don't think Girle is gonna make that many mistakes 654 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: with the foot. Um, So you're one or two blocks away. Um, 655 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 1: You're you're a game plan away from breaking a long one. Yes, 656 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 1: it can happen again, So look it maybe Girly this week. 657 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 1: It may not be. It may be somebody off of 658 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 1: him because they're keying on him. But I don't think 659 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 1: anybody's gonna say okay the Rams. Uh. They scored a 660 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 1: couple of passing touchdowns. Okay, let's forget about girly. That's 661 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 1: not gonna happen. It's gonna be stop girly first right exactly. 662 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 1: Or what else would you like to see the Rams 663 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: do better this week? Drops or a problem? I'd like 664 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 1: to see the penalties decrease. You know. Look, I think 665 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 1: all that stuff when you talk about penalties, especially the 666 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 1: stuff that happens after the whistle, guys getting thrown out, 667 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 1: I think that that's not on the coach. It is 668 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,560 Speaker 1: because he's responsible. But that's got to be leadership on 669 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 1: the field. Interesting. Everyone has to understand the situations and 670 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: the importance of that play all right, and keeping your head. 671 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: So it's going to take everybody to win on every 672 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 1: single Sunday. So you can't be down a guy for 673 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,959 Speaker 1: a guy getting thrown out, and you've got to keep 674 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 1: your third down short. And when you have a chance 675 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 1: to get out on defense, you can't give them first 676 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 1: down right or or cut the distance by being off side. 677 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 1: Those things have to be improved. And catching the football 678 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 1: just period. I would say in key situations, but I 679 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 1: would say all the time. When the ball is there, 680 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: you have to come down with it. Yes, I think 681 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 1: that's simple, and I think that that makes a lot 682 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 1: of sense. All right, So before we wrap this up, 683 00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 1: there is a question that I'm probably gonna ask everybody 684 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 1: comes on between the horns, because I think it's very 685 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 1: important that mean brains between the horns, between the horns, 686 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 1: because the horns are on the brain. Yeah, I'm just saying, well, 687 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 1: I mean it could be since we learned about you 688 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 1: going Gaga over Lebron, I asked that question. But good, okay, Well, 689 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 1: because are you saying I don't have brains because I'm 690 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 1: just between the horns, between the horns brains? Okay, go ahead, yes, okay, 691 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 1: Well this is very important now, so take this question serious. 692 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 1: Is catch up an acceptable condiment on a hot dog? 693 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 1: What the hell? Okay? So DeMarco is not on Twitter, 694 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 1: and this is so No, this is an important question 695 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 1: because it is not an important it is people. Just 696 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 1: because it's on Twitter does not mean it's important. That's 697 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 1: exactly why it's important. DeMarco. You're not on Twitter, so 698 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 1: you don't. I am on Twitter. I shout into the 699 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 1: void every other minute.
