1
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: All right, it's about to get wild. Welcome to Between

2
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: the Horns, present about your Southern California Toyo to dealers,

3
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: the Rams and the Detroit Lions on Super wild Card

4
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: weekend this Sunday night. I'm JB. Long and reporting as

5
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 1: eligible to Marko Farr and Maurice Jones Drew.

6
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 2: You know that they still may be one of the

7
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 2: best things that have ever happened in the league. Tried

8
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 2: to trick the refs and then you got bit in

9
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 2: the back.

10
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 3: Oh my god, how good is this? Though?

11
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: DeMarco and I have been sitting here all morning talking

12
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 1: Rams and Lions, and mjd rolls in. He's like, Hey,

13
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: don't rush me, don't rush me into this weekend. I

14
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: still have thoughts on week eighteen. Yeah, that's rights your chest.

15
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 2: This is the thing, you know, being up in the

16
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 2: Bay Area, hearing all the Niner fans and to see

17
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 2: them come out in the first couple of drives with

18
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 2: their starters, to see the Rams march down the field

19
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 2: with their starting offers on line. But then reserves kind

20
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 2: of built around everywhere else. That has to give you confidence, right,

21
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 2: not not necessarily for your starter, but confidence in the

22
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 2: other guys that have stepped in and made plays like

23
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 2: I can go out here and play and compete against

24
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 2: Travera's Ward or Fred Warner. Ronnie Rivers had some great

25
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 2: cuts in that game. The offensive line, they were firing

26
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 2: off the ball, getting moving those guys off the ball.

27
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 2: So to me, you know, obviously I've always been a

28
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 2: I think it'd been here almost ten years now, so

29
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 2: I guess I can call myself a Ram member. But

30
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 2: DeMarco once said, like Niner Week was very important, and

31
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 2: in order for the Rams to get to where they

32
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 2: want you, you have to beat the Niners. And the

33
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 2: way they beat them this week or this past week

34
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 2: was not a great It wasn't a very like schematic

35
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 2: offensive scheme, it wasn't a very schematic defensive scheme. It

36
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 2: was effort and attitude, and you played the same type

37
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 2: of football that the Niners normally play against you, which

38
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 2: I think has to put a little bit of doubt

39
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 2: or fear up there, saying like we kind of got

40
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: beat up in this matchup right. The defensive line got

41
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 2: to them, the offensive line was moving guys around, and

42
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 2: the Rams are able to come back and and be

43
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 2: physical in winning that game.

44
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 3: That should be a.

45
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 2: Springboard going into this wild card round to play a

46
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: physical team, right. I think I say that on the

47
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 2: broadcast that this game, this week eighteen matchup is gonna

48
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 2: really see if you're ready to go up and play

49
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 2: a Detroit Lions team if you win that wants to

50
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 2: be just as physical as a Niner, definitely lift.

51
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 4: Anytime you beat Sam friends huge, especially as a Ram.

52
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 4: I mean, it's a deal. I mean to get to

53
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 4: where you want to go, you got to go through them.

54
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 4: There's no way around it. So yeah, it's kind of

55
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 4: a misnomer when they say that the forty nine ers

56
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 4: didn't play their starters.

57
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 3: They did.

58
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 4: They didn't play their stars. Of course McCaffrey was out,

59
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 4: but there was a lot of starters out there, more

60
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 4: than the Rams. Same for the Rams, absolutely, So they

61
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 4: went up there and took it to them and won.

62
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 4: And it's crazy. We were all thinking, we're always thinking

63
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 4: win before the game, but not so much last week.

64
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 4: We were thinking stay healthy, right, and then a game

65
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 4: broke out, and then since you're in a football game,

66
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 4: might as well win the darn thing, right.

67
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 3: That's how that's how it felt.

68
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: Ten looks better than nine. Yeah, and it made this

69
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: moment possible, which is now a trip to Detroit. We're

70
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: going to talk a lot about Off and staff, are

71
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: going to compare the coaches. There's so many rich storylines.

72
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: In fact, I think I've had as much fun studying

73
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: this matchup as any since at least the Super Bowl.

74
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: That's why I wore my super Bowl sweatshirt today intentionally

75
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: nice because I haven't had this much fun thinking anything

76
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: except Rams and Bengals that's the most recent one. But

77
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: also because of what you said at the depths of

78
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: three and nine, we sat here on this show and said,

79
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: give it one more week, just wait and see if

80
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: they can beat Seattle. Then they did, and then as

81
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: that December month war on, we said, hey, you know what,

82
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: eight nine wins not high enough. Elevate your expectations. Go

83
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: to San Francisco and win, and they did.

84
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 3: So.

85
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: Now that you're in the dance, you tell me right

86
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: here and now, which one of the other thirteen teams

87
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: do you think the Rams can't beat with four good quarters?

88
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 3: Dude, I don't listen.

89
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: You're to look at the one seeds in both conferences,

90
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: your last loss, and you're only lost since the bye

91
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: in overtime against the Ravens in Baltimore and your last game,

92
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: You're a last game. I know, perty, I know McCaffrey,

93
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: I get it, But also Matthew Stafford and Cooper Cup

94
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: and there Aaron Williams. Only in retrospect can you appreciate

95
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: the way this schedule played out? And I think the

96
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: springboard that you pointed out as accurate because guess what,

97
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,119
Speaker 1: just like in twenty twenty one, when von Miller put

98
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: that Lombardi replica in the Rams locker room, right here,

99
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: right now in this facility, the real Lombardi is there,

100
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: and I think that's where the Rams properly have their

101
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: sights set. Yeah, you're not going to get many more

102
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: chances in the postseason with McVeigh, Stafford, Cup Donald all together.

103
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: I hope they're back here this next season, But that

104
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 1: schedule in twenty twenty four is daunting, right yeah, And

105
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: a lot of things have to go right. So now

106
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: that you're here, why set your sights any lower than

107
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: the Lombardi? Is my question this week?

108
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,119
Speaker 2: To me, you just want to get in the dance,

109
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 2: and I think that's the whole season is about getting better,

110
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 2: figuring yourself out scouting yourself and then just getting here,

111
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 2: because once you get into the dance, anything can happen, right.

112
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 2: I just want to, like I think on our what

113
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 2: I think when we interviewed McVeigh, who just want to

114
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 2: take a shot at it. I love that attitude. Weren't

115
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 2: even supposed to be here. We just want to see

116
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 2: what we could do. Let's just figure it out.

117
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: Shoot your shoe. Like there's that element where it's house money. Yeah,

118
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: and house money is a dangerous place to be. It's

119
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 1: a dangerous place to be because no one expected the

120
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: Rams to be here, and they're playing loose, and they're

121
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: playing free, and they're playing confident. But at the same time,

122
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: I don't want to wait for next season. No I

123
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: get a better see it or a.

124
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 4: Better I do like the fact that they're talking about it.

125
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 4: I mean, it was always taboo for us to talk

126
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 4: about Super Bowl YouTube playoffs because it was always one

127
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 4: step at a time. I like the fact that they

128
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 4: put the carrot out there that this is actually possible

129
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 4: for this football team. How many victories do you need

130
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 4: to become champion at this point?

131
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: Four more?

132
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 4: Why not put it out for this group especially? I

133
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 4: think you should put that out there. I think that

134
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 4: was a great move, a very bold move.

135
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to some news and notes, both

136
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: here at the facility and around the National Football League

137
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: injury report. First, you look at how the Rams and

138
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: the Lines approached Week eighteen, McVeigh and the Rams said,

139
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: six seven seed not our problem, Detroit Dallas not our problem.

140
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: They held back their starters, came through that religive actively clean.

141
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 1: Jordan Fuller is probably the question mark. And there's another

142
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: parallel to twenty twenty one when Jordan Fuller went down

143
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: late in the season and Eric Weddell came out of retirement.

144
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: But that's for another conversation. On the Lion's side, they

145
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: win and chase the two seed, even though I think

146
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: it was improbable at best that Dallas was gonna lose

147
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: at Washington, and it may have cost them. Sam Laporta

148
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 1: and collef Raymond, one of the great tight ends in

149
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: the league and one of the more dangerous return men

150
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: in the National Football League going into this weekend.

151
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 2: Well yeah, I think when you talk about the one

152
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 2: kryptonite or issue with the Rams is special teams, he

153
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 2: wouldn't have played.

154
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 3: I was if I was.

155
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 2: Detroit like Cleve Raymond Wheat. If this thing pans out

156
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 2: the way, you have to always see the force through

157
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 2: the sea the trees as the coach, and I feel

158
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 2: like the one is And I don't want to say

159
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 2: it's a problem because I think Dan Campbell does a

160
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 2: great job of motivating his guys and he's in it.

161
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 2: But sometimes he's in it, right, like that two point

162
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 2: conversion against Dallas, Like, dude, the football guys gave you

163
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 2: three times to say kick this field goal, you know,

164
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 2: like like this extra point. The football guys were sparing you,

165
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,679
Speaker 2: like you tried to be funny, You tried to be slick.

166
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 3: We're gonna spare you.

167
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 4: Try to like this going to overtime, you guys have

168
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 4: the momentum.

169
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 2: You should be ready to roll. And I think sometimes

170
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 2: that make that kind of gotten him in trouble. And

171
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 2: so I think in this week eight team game, it

172
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 2: got you, like you lost. I don't know who would

173
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 2: have covered Sam laport on the Rams a hard time defending,

174
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 2: and then the Rams special team struggles with returners. You

175
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 2: let Gunner Oleski go crazy with the Giants, and now

176
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 2: you have, uh this Khaliff Raymond, who is a running

177
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 2: back like gadget guy like very close close to more

178
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 2: closer to Tyreek Hill in the return game than anyone

179
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 2: else in this league. And he's banged up, and so

180
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 2: you just gotta kind of always I used to always.

181
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 2: I love coaches, I say, look, rest and health is

182
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 2: number one. And McVeigh has been one of the main

183
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 2: stays of saying, if we win the injury report, we

184
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 2: have a better chance to win in the game. Right,

185
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 2: you're gonna figure that out now if you're Detroit that

186
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 2: if these two guys can't battle back and play or

187
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 2: not be close to you know whatever, if they do

188
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 2: play around one hundred, it's gonna be tough.

189
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 4: If I had a choice, I'd rather have Laporta be

190
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 4: out because he's your safety valve for Jared Goma. I mean,

191
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 4: if you get pressure on golf, you know it's pretty

192
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 4: much over. That's gonna be a sack or pressure. He's

193
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 4: gonna dump it. So as long as he doesn't have

194
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 4: that safety valve, that means he's gonna have to hold it,

195
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 4: which means you have a better chance to beat him.

196
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 4: And for the most part, I know this sounds crazy

197
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 4: with the season we've had, but a punt returner can

198
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 4: only hurt you once, maybe, you know what I mean,

199
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 4: Laporta can keep hurting you for four straight quarters, if

200
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 4: that makes sense.

201
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: It's red zone to me, and it's third down.

202
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

203
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,959
Speaker 1: And when you look at how the week has changed

204
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: for the Rams and the Lions, no question. If Detroit

205
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: doesn't have Laporta, their worst in the red zone and

206
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 1: on third down.

207
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

208
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: Meantime, I went and looked. Cooper Cup has had to

209
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: play sixty one snaps since Christmas, since the win over

210
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: New Orleans. They had to play one full game in

211
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: New York. So what if he's as healthy and as

212
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: fresh and as dynamic as he's ever been. I appreciate

213
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: the fact that Puka and Nakua got the Rams at

214
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: this point, I really do. But I think from here

215
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: on the Rams go as far as nine and nine

216
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: take them, you.

217
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 3: Know what I mean? No, I I agree.

218
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 2: So I think we talked about this, maybe like a

219
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 2: month or two ago, about having two number one wide receivers.

220
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 2: I think Puka is gonna start You're gonna start to

221
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,719
Speaker 2: see a lot of coverage shifted towards him, which is

222
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 2: gonna allow Cooper Cup to get a lot of one

223
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 2: on ones, and it's kind of like I'm telling you.

224
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 3: They can't do that. But then you go to double,

225
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 3: it's a problem.

226
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 4: So that's no way in the world you're gonna let

227
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 4: Cooper Cup a Super Bowl MVP, go go single man

228
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 4: on man what okay?

229
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 2: So okay, okay, So yeah, Rather the guy that has

230
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 2: broke the rookie record that's been going.

231
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 3: To nineteen fifty.

232
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 4: Either way, it's great for us, right, and that's when

233
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 4: I double him. He's gonna burn you. If you double him,

234
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 4: they're gonna burn you. So it's it's a problem. But

235
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 4: there's no way in a pressure situation you don't you

236
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 4: don't cover Cooper Cup.

237
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 2: But the thing is, we've been in pressure situations and

238
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 2: I've seen Stafford go to Puka.

239
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 4: Sure, I'm just talking defensively speaking.

240
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 3: But so that's what I'm saying.

241
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, Aaron, who was one of my teammates in Jacksonville,

242
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 2: who do you double?

243
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 4: And and then that third and four, I'm gonna I would

244
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 4: double Cup. I would double the guy that's done it

245
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 4: on the big stage.

246
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: Okay, I knew, I knew he couldn't make it five

247
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: minutes without talking. Let's some other news and notes real quick,

248
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: because since we all last sat down together, Nick Saban,

249
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Pete Carroll, Bill Belichick.

250
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 3: I knew that was coming. I knew that was three

251
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 3: names right there.

252
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 4: Wow.

253
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: I mean, of course on the RAMS schedule. But next

254
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: year's trip to Foxborough, no Brady, no Belichick, unbel what

255
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: football world will we be living in?

256
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 3: Different?

257
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 2: YEA A good one for me. One that doesn't have nightmares.

258
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sure you have a Belichick. Yeah, no, no,

259
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 2: I have. That's that was the other team. Salid Okay, yeah,

260
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you.

261
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 3: I was.

262
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 2: I was in the car with my son and one

263
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 2: of his friends, and I was like, you know, it

264
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 2: just wasn't fair at times being in the league, playing

265
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 2: Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. It just wasn't fair, Like

266
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 2: you would have to play the perfect offensive game plan

267
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 2: to beat them.

268
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: I thought you were saying because their division was so

269
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: bad they got a free first round.

270
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 2: Well that too, but but also like you got to think,

271
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 2: like every year you went into Foxborough to play them.

272
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 2: I played them multiple times when Foxboro once in the playoffs.

273
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 2: We played a perfect game until what like eight minutes

274
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 2: left in the fourth quarter, and then they ran off

275
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 2: with it.

276
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, crazy, it's just all three guys are gone.

277
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 3: In the same it's Pete Dunn coaching though, because his

278
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:33,319
Speaker 3: press conference.

279
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,719
Speaker 4: Was a little officially yes, but unofficially he.

280
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 3: I think he's I think he's gonna leave. I think

281
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 3: he's because he he's too you know.

282
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 4: We've all going to be in a nice little suite

283
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 4: watching football games.

284
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 3: Watch. He's not gonna be to that. He's not gonna

285
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 3: be able to do that.

286
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to hit a nerve here, but the

287
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: Rams played a unique role in bringing down that era.

288
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson first, Pete Carroll eventually, but now it's wait.

289
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 4: Not the Rams really one guy, Aaron. Aaron smashed all

290
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 4: their quarterbacks.

291
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 2: Now and then Sean and that offense that that that

292
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 2: one that was that one game in Seattle.

293
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 3: It was like that that game taking the torch. That game. Yeah,

294
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 3: that game is kind of what brought there. Was like

295
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,199
Speaker 3: we gotta start figuring out the.

296
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 4: Heckler in the corner. Actually shut up the one in Seattle.

297
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 4: You know what I'm talking about? First time that guy, Yeah,

298
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 4: when he's quite you know, it's a butt whooping.

299
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: To take this now to Rams and Lions to the

300
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: leading coaching candidates in this cycle. Ben Johnson, offensive coordinator

301
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,199

306
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 4: this defense goes up there and shuts him out, right,

307
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 4: So how do you hire him based on that? Your

308

Speaker 3: your fan base. But yes, yes, and no, you have

314
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 3: to look at the if. So this is the thing,

315
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 3: This is what I believe.

316
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 2: If you're an owner, you have to look at the

317
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 2: body of work, right, the body of work is going

318
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 2: to tell you everything more than anything. If you were

319
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 2: he Morris, you only could name Aaron Donald on the

320
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 2: defense that has been a got. Obviously, Kobe Turner's getting

321
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 2: a lot of notoriety for being defensive Rookie of the

322
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 2: Year and having all.

323
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 3: Those, but no one knew who he was to start

324
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 3: this season. So you have a body of work. Right,

325
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 3: But then in Detroit for drafting, you got a thing.

326
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 2: Dan Campbell called the plays two years ago and then

327
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 2: barely handed the ball and then they exploded when he

328
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 2: handed the playbook over. So, yes, one game isn't gonna

329
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 2: like the tier was gonna go. It may get the

330
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 2: fan base a little riled up, but if you're if

331
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 2: you're Ben Johnson, Look how many teams need quarterback help?

332
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 3: True?

333
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 2: Right, the Chargers, Panthers, Falcons, right, Patriots, Patriots, you got

334
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 2: all these, there's a bunch of there's eight jobs, but.

335
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 3: This is the kicker. This is the kicker to Ruheem Morris.

336
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 2: A lot of people don't know he was an offensive

337
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 2: coach for half his time in the league.

338
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't want to know. I don't want to

339
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: say you're not hiring Raheem for his scheme. You can,

340
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: but I think Raheem's best selling points the reason why

341
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: he deserves to be a head coach. Like, I'm going

342
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: to get through my top five before even talk about scheme. Right,

343
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: He's just a great leader, a great person. He elevates

344
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: your whole organization. I believe. I don't know Ben Johnson

345
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: will enough to say the same of him, but I'll

346
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: be shocked if doesn't get hired because there's.

347
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 4: A lot going down.

348
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 2: What I what I also love about Raheem is he

349
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 2: coached Julio Jones. He's coached big time. He coached Josh

350
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 2: Freeman and Tampa like he's been a head coach before.

351
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 2: That's a lot of people failed to realize a long

352
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 2: time ago. He was a young head coach. He's learned,

353
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 2: he understands. I think you bring if to me. You

354
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 2: bring him in because he's a leader of men and

355
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 2: that's what most people need. And he knows who to

356
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 2: hire underneath to go. But my only problem is this one.

357
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 2: My New Year's resolution seems like it's going out.

358
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 3: We're not. I want to come back home.

359
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 4: Come on right this other part, don't root against her

360
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 4: hem who No, I won't.

361
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 3: I'll never do that.

362
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 2: But who does he take with him? Because that's always

363
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 2: the kicker. Come on, I'm just being honest. We're going

364
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 2: to talk about the coach.

365
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: The Venge Game Wild Card Weekend Detroit, first time ford

366
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: Field has hosted one of these first time in Jared

367
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: goss lifetime that the Detroit Lions are playing host to

368
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: a playoff game? How good is this?

369
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 3: Awesome?

370
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 4: And the guy that's gonna put out the lights is

371
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 4: Matthew Stafford? How how just awesome is this? Wow?

372
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 3: The script man, this is what they want to beat it?

373
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, and look I root for Jared. We

374
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 4: all do, right, We love Jared Jared is he was

375
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 4: our quarterback, took us to a super Bowl. Of course,

376
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 4: But when you think about matchups over the weekend, guys

377
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 4: you don't want to see or guys you want to

378
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 4: see first I would want to see Jared in this matchup.

379
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 4: If you get pressure on Jared, you know the game

380
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 4: plan against him. If you get pressure on him, you

381
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 4: can win this football game. You get pressure on Hurts

382
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 4: or other guys, that's just half the problem. But Jared,

383
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 4: you blunt that russianack, you force it onto his shoulders,

384
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 4: You'll have a great chance of beating them in Detroit.

385
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 3: If that is the game plan.

386
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 2: I think that's where the Rams had the advantages. Again,

387
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 2: they understand Jared. Yeah, the Detroit Lions, they don't know Stafford.

388
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 2: It's not the same coaching staff that Stafford had right.

389
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: So Stafford's not the same Stafford he was last year

390
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: or in twenty.

391
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 3: Twenty exactly matter.

392
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 2: But this staff knows Jared inside and out. They Seohn

393
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 2: knows how to get to him, and I'm sure they've

394
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 2: had conversations with what we all know. I mean, you

395
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 2: watch the games. Interior pressure throws him off a ton.

396
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 2: That's why Aaron down Na Kobe Turner become a big issue.

397
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 4: They do a great job protecting him though with that

398
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 4: run game. Yeah, that's the issue. I mean, you're gonna

399
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 4: have to fight to get it in an obvious passing situation.

400
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 4: I love their old line they do. They utilize people.

401
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 4: They are absolutely nasty. So they do a great job

402
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 4: protecting golf by running the football. But if you do

403
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 4: stop them and get them an obvious passing situations, I

404
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 4: think the Rams have a chance to get to him.

405
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 4: And if you do done.

406
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: You know who they played last week? The lines I'm

407
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: talking about, Yeah, the Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores. Oh boy,

408
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: he chopped him up. I give Jared a lot of credit,

409
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: you know, no, no, hold on, hold on, hold on Miami.

410
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: I think was the beginning of the end or maybe

411
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 1: the end of the end zero b Jared Goff as

412
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,719
Speaker 1: a ram h four turnovers lost into his starting debut.

413
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: No business losing that game, but it hits a chord

414
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 1: for me that he played really well against that defense

415
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: last week. I think it's just one indicator of the

416
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 1: progress that he's made, the way he's grown up in Detroit,

417
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: the way they've built around him.

418
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 3: So I'm impressed they didn't really zero blitz about that.

419
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on, it's more than like almost any

420
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: game plan in the modern era. They came after him,

421
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: just not with zero.

422
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, it wasn't zero because of the rushing attack, right,

423
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 2: The rushing attack is Wow, that's the that's the kicker

424
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 2: to Detroit.

425
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 3: But I think you're exactly.

426
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: Saying they fans you and the Bears. Bill belichicking the Patriots,

427
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 1: Brian Flores off that tree, like.

428
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 3: No, you're listen, You're exactly right.

429
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 2: I personally got a chance to go to Detroit and

430
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 2: watch Jared play the different different Broncos on a Saturday

431
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 2: night game might have been the loudest I've ever heard

432
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 2: that stadium. One which tells me, till this Sunday, well

433
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 2: until this Sunday, it's gonna be. It's gonna be I'm

434
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 2: just get ready, have the little.

435
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 3: Be ready to go.

436
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 2: It's gonna be raucous. But the other thing is this

437
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 2: talking to him after the game. It's just a different Jared.

438
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 3: Right.

439
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 2: It's like, you know, you have to go through something

440
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 2: to really figure out who you are and what you

441
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 2: want to be. And obviously the trade situation ending up

442
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 2: in Detroit, starting off the way they started off and

443
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 2: then fighting their way back, they have a different He

444
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 2: has a different confidence about himself and I and and

445
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 2: and it shows when you have to go against you know,

446
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 2: album Hey listen, man, he put in the gym. You

447
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 2: ever ever worked out with a guy that just gotten

448
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 2: a break up? Oh yeah, that's the worst guy to

449
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 2: work out with. Like he's like, you have all this

450
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,360
Speaker 2: time on your hands, Like he's in there lifting four

451
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 2: hundred pounds, Like I feel like that's kind of what's

452
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 2: happened to Jared. And so it's gonna be an awesome

453
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 2: time because he still has that feeling of he wanted

454
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 2: to be here. Everybody wants no one ever wants to leave,

455
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 2: Like you wanted to play for the Rams your whole life.

456
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 2: I wander with him that Super Bowl against Belicheck. You

457
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:05,919
Speaker 2: just can't sometimes, right, And so the same thing with me,

458
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 2: Like you always want to stay where where you were drafted,

459
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 2: but you always have that, you know, And so I

460
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 2: believe that he's matured a ton.

461
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 3: I just don't. I just don't like if I'm looking

462
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 3: at the.

463
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 4: Build an offense that would get the most out of

464
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 4: Jared Goff. They did to be Detroit, so they did.

465
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 4: They're running the daylights out of the ball. They have

466
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 4: a really good receiver on the outside and a great

467
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 4: safety valve if Laporta plays. So this is how you

468
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,679
Speaker 4: win with a Jared Goff. Now the difference is if

469
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 4: the Rams can go in there and take care of

470
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 4: business against the run and force it onto his shoulders.

471
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 4: Like you said with the zero blitz, if you get

472
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 4: to Jared, you got to Jared. If you get to Stafford,

473
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 4: it's a different deal. Maybe he gets the ball out,

474
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 4: maybe he wings it. It's a different deal.

475
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: Should we hear from him? Yeah, all right, let's listen

476
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: to the featured quarterbacks in this matchup, and then we'll

477
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: react to who does this game matter more to?

478
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 5: Not Really, to be honest with you, I was locked

479
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 5: in on trying to do what I had to do

480
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 5: to kind of help us get to where we wanted

481
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 5: to be. Like you said, when we did clinch, there

482
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 5: was a lot up in the air, both what we

483
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 5: could control and what we couldn't control. So there's no

484
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 5: reason to let your mind go there and treat it

485
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 5: like every other week. Right, You figure out who your

486
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 5: opponent's going to be, and then you go prepare and

487
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 5: try to play as good as you possibly can to

488
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 5: help your team win.

489
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 6: Obviously, there's a personal connection there, and they're not just

490
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 6: for me, but for a lot of our players and

491
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 6: some of theirs as well. But no, I think you know,

492
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 6: I so badly want to win a game for this city,

493
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 6: and win a playoff game for the city that hasn't

494
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 6: had one and so long we got a home playoff

495
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 6: game for the first time and so long, and that's

496
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,239
Speaker 6: so much more important than anything personally for me. I

497
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 6: want to be a part of this win and do

498
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 6: my job the best of my ability.

499
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 1: The NFL scriptwriters were busy with this one first time

500
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: in league playoff history that both starters will be facing

501
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: their former team, and even if there was another instance,

502
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: which there hasn't been, this one's unique because they were

503
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,120
Speaker 1: traded for each other. Weird three years ago.

504
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 4: Wait, this is the first time two quarterbacks are facing

505
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 4: their former team.

506
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 3: Wow, season believable.

507
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: And how about this The Lions are winless in the

508
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: playoffs oh to seven in Jared's lifetime. Like their last

509
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 1: playoff win was two years before. Goff was bold. And

510
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: so when you talk about like who is feeling the

511
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 1: weight to the world on his shoulders. Not that Jared

512
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: can't handle it. He's done this at Cal, He's done

513
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: it in LA, He's done it in Detroit. He's built

514
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: for this, don't get me wrong. But who faces more

515
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 1: pressure this weekend? Jared gotta be Matthew looks.

516
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 3: The house.

517
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like Stafford had the the weight was

518
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 2: on his shoulder to win the Super Bowl, right right?

519
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 2: They had to trade all this stuff. Yeah, yeah, that

520
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 2: was the way. Now, like you we talked house money. Hey, wait,

521
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 2: we're back.

522
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 4: If remember your competitive days, right, I still got him.

523
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 4: Can you let Matthew Stafford walk in your house and

524
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 4: beat you there? No, there's no way he's sleeping the

525
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 4: night before this game. There's no way, Matthew. No, Jared, Okay,

526
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 4: you cannot let Matthew Stafford walk back into Detroit and

527
00:21:58,320 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 4: beat you.

528
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: But I think how that rest with the Detroit locker

529
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 1: room is going to have a big determining outcome in

530
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 1: this game. Like are they playing like their white knuckling

531
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: and they got to win it, or are they supremely

532
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: motivated in a way that the Rams are just gonna

533
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: have trouble match. Now, that's because of what you said.

534
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 4: That's what I hear. They do have Jared's back. They

535
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 4: love him there. They are gonna go to the wire

536
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 4: for him because of what we said. They can't let

537
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 4: that happen because of how much they love their guy.

538
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 4: Think about it, if it was the opposite way. We're

539
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 4: playing a playoff game here and Jared's coming back here,

540
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 4: everybody on this team would say I got Stafford's back.

541
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 4: That's how they feel about Jared. This ain't gonna be easy, No,

542
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 4: not at all. This is gonna be a whole lot

543
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 4: of fun to go up there and do.

544
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 2: I think it reminds me of burning the boats the

545
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 2: Vikings when the Vikings old the Historically the Vikings used

546
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 2: to go and attack someone, they'd burn their boats.

547
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 3: Because the sly way we're going back home is they

548
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 3: take it.

549
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 2: There's like it's had a little extra motivation to go

550
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 2: in and when you if you're the Rams, you're saying,

551
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 2: we got to have our guys back too, Right, we

552
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 2: gotta go. We're going into a hostile environment. Right, We've

553
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 2: already seen kind of the stuff to play out in

554
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 2: the media, like nowhere no one wears Stafford jerseys.

555
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 3: And then you know, like.

556
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 2: But Stafford's like, look, I get I'm the bad guy

557
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 2: and every now and then to be the villain.

558
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: You know, remember uh when dark Stafford's coming out this venom.

559
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 3: Remember when Dion Sanders went back to Atlanta.

560
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, pick six and say before the press conference,

561
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 4: this is my house.

562
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 3: I built this.

563
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:21,919
Speaker 4: That's how Stafford's attitude needs to be.

564
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: And if there is a box left to check for him,

565
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: it's doing the one thing he couldn't do for a

566
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 1: dozen successful seasons in Detroit when he became one of,

567
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: if not the greatest quarterbacks certainly statistically in their history,

568
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: but was just oero for three couldn't play beyond wild

569
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: card weekend. Now he's got the chance to do that

570
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 1: at Ford Field.

571
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 3: Come on, you got that. That may be one of

572
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 3: the most cruelest things to do, cold Blood. Just shut

573
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,919
Speaker 3: the park and you gotta you gotta wink on the

574
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 3: way out of that.

575
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 2: As you get out of there, gotcha kick over the

576
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 2: DJ booth. YEA, party's over all right, We're.

577
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 1: Gonna be talking quarterbacks from now until Sunday night, including

578
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: on Sunday night. Can I take in a different direction? Yeah,

579
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: I challenge each of you off the air as we're

580
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: preparing for this, to give me your three most important rams.

581
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 1: Oh not at the quarterback position, not named Matthew Stafford.

582
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna even switch it up here at the

583
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: very end. What if we did it draft style, because

584
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: I bet we have a lot of the same men

585
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 1: on our minds here. Okay, yeah, so Demark you're gonna

586
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: get the first pick, MJD you go second, all our third.

587
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 4: Let's just go three guys in mind at the draft

588
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 4: to one.

589
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 3: Okay, who's the first overall? Okay? Yeah, okay, So we

590
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 3: just pumped it up.

591
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 4: It's going to be crazy in there, right, first playoff

592
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,360
Speaker 4: game in how long thirty years? Matthew Stafford's coming back

593
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 4: this and it's a night game. This place is going

594
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 4: to be crazy, right, Who does that benefit the most

595
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 4: Aiden Hutchinson. They're pass rusher. So the first guy on

596
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 4: my draft is Rob Havenstein. That's where he lies. Look,

597
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 4: that is going to be game number one right there.

598
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 4: The only thing that matters. The guy that can ruin

599
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 4: the party is that guy. The guy that can stop

600
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 4: him from ruining party is gonna be Rob Evenstein. So

601
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 4: I'm picking him.

602
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: Would you settle for Aleric Jackson on the other side.

603
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 2: No, no, no, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go different,

604
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 2: but I'll say I'm just gonna add on to that

605
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,679
Speaker 2: real quick. Be ready to be prepared for that inside

606
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 2: spin move that he's gonna get you a speed. Then

607
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 2: that inside spin move is coming, so gotta be ready

608
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 2: for that. I'm sure though they have a plan for that.

609
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 2: To me, I'm gonna go in the trenches. So I'm

610
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 2: gonna go Bobby Brown. Yeah, we saw it in the

611
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 2: Niners that the way he was able to handle guard

612
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 2: to guard is gonna be so important in this game

613
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 2: because that's where David Montgomery runs. I know we want

614
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 2: to talk about Gibbs and what he's able to do,

615
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 2: but Montgomery is a workhorse. You have to hold down

616
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 2: from guard to guard if you if you don't allow

617
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 2: those guys to run there, you will win. You will

618
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 2: have a great chance to win this game. To me,

619
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 2: Bobby Brown has to have a huge day, is it,

620
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 2: Frank rig Rag Now? Yet he has to dominate him.

621
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 3: He's so good. I hate him. Like there's certain guys

622
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 3: I've talked to some Detacles. They like there a certain centers.

623
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 2: You're just just the short, stocky ones that kind of

624
00:25:58,480 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 2: because you can't get underneath them.

625
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 3: Bobby Brown has to dominate him.

626
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: That's a great pick. That's an off the radar pick

627
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: my game. I get to break the rules and rewrite

628
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: them as we go. By picking third, I'm going to

629
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 1: go coaching staff and I'm taking Aubrey pleasant O.

630
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 3: Revenge game.

631
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: Revenge game. He left the Rams, he went to Detroit,

632
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 1: didn't go great. He's back with the Rams. It's been

633
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: beautiful again. And the reason I'm focused on him is

634
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: because I think whichever secondary has the better day probably

635
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 1: wins this game. Both teams run the ball well, both

636
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: teams stopped the run well, both teams throw it at

637
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: an elite level, and both secondaries have had some poorest

638
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,640
Speaker 1: problems right like the lines in particular, I know they're

639
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 1: getting some pieces back, but they've been destroyed by Dallas

640
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: and Minnesota these last couple of weeks. So who's stopping

641
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 1: Amen ros Saint Brown yards after catch leader in the

642
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 1: National Football League, chip on his shoulder, the size of Detroit. Right,

643
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,640
Speaker 1: he knows all sixteen receivers drafted ahead of him coming

644
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:59,239
Speaker 1: out of USC in the Pro Bowl, and who snubbed him?

645
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 1: Who got in his way? Pooka Nakula.

646
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 4: Yep, this is gonna be a full time job, yes, sir,

647
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 4: So who can cover him on this team? Raheem Morris?

648
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: That's your second pick?

649
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 3: Oh my second?

650
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 4: Uh okay, I'll go Roheie Morris because that is going

651
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 4: to be an issue, like how do you force this game?

652
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 4: How do you expose Jared Goff in this football game?

653
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 3: Really?

654
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 4: I mean, is it is it scheme? Is it gonna

655
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 4: be just your Johnny's and the Joe's. You're gonna depend

656
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 4: on Aaron Donald. So at some point it's gonna come

657
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 4: down to these key situations and either blitz or fail,

658
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 4: rush or drop that could be the key to a

659
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 4: winner or loss. So i'll'll go ahead and pick Rahee Morris.

660
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 4: That's a good choice. But there's no way you are

661
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 4: going to guard Brown Saint Brown by himself. There's no way,

662
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 4: no way. He's one of the better receivers in this league.

663
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 1: Are we leaving Aaron Donald to m J D or

664
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: we just mutually agreeing that, Like just like Stafford go.

665
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's yeah, I'm not I'm gonna you expect greatness

666
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 2: from Aaron Donald. I'm not gonna go there. I'm gonna

667
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 2: stay with the defensive line. I'm gonna go with Michael Hoyt.

668
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 2: Setting a vertical edge, right again, if you want to

669
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 2: get to Jared Goff, you talked about it earlier, you

670
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 2: have to set a physical vertical edge and not allow

671
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 2: these guys to bounce. You have to make sure that

672
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 2: and understanding this, you're going into the trait with the

673
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 2: head coaches said, we want to bite off kneecaps, we

674
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,360
Speaker 2: want to be physical, we want to do all these

675
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 2: things right, Like, you have to match that intensity. And

676
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 2: I think with Bobby Brown on the inside, Michael Hoyt

677
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 2: to the strong side, that's gonna be very important. Right,

678
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 2: You're gonna have to make sure and at three hundred

679
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 2: and again, I think the Rams have been underrated at

680
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 2: three hundred pounds at the outside linebacker.

681
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 3: To be able to go against tight end, you have

682
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 3: to win those matchups.

683
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 2: Or if you're going to against Pinna Suel or Taylor Decker,

684
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 2: you have to make sure that you're locked in because

685
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 2: those it's gonna be a heck of a day for him.

686
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: Brett Maher with my second pick, I don't think I

687
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: need to elaborate to Marco back to you.

688
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 4: Look, we were players at one point, right, and we

689
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 4: were always taught what if he misses or whatever it

690
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 4: should It should not have come down to a place kick, right,

691
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 4: It should not have come down to a field to

692
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 4: win a game.

693
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 3: Right. You know what the situation is. This is the playoffs.

694
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 3: This is it.

695
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 4: You know what the situation is. You know what the

696
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 4: situation is now, this is the playoffs. What you got

697
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 4: to do your job.

698
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: You can't hide.

699
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 3: You can't hide anybody in this situation.

700
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: I wonder if your roster has to show up, and

701
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: if they don't, you won't be playing again next week.

702
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: So Brett Maher's got to have a good game.

703
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 4: My mentality on defense, if it comes down to a

704
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 4: field goal, it's my fault, and I will because that's

705
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 4: the way you should think when when when you're but.

706
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 2: What they say ninety eight percent of the league is

707
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 2: is like one score games, it's like three points.

708
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 4: Well, then you just can't have it. Then you got

709
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 4: to beat him by more than.

710
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: A proxy for the kicking game large, right, it's not

711
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: just his right foot, it's.

712
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 3: You got to cover guys. You got to cover him

713
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 3: up too. Absolutely no doubt.

714
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: You got one more pick. You have another individual on

715
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: your own.

716
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 4: Man, Well let's see. Well, you know, just for fun,

717
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 4: it's the same guy on the other side. It is

718
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 4: Aaron Donald actually, because he had the week off and

719
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 4: we were talking about this about about Hutchinson. He is

720
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 4: on a absolute heater. I think he's had five sacks

721
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 4: his last two weeks and he has the benefit of

722
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 4: crowd noise, so he is on a roll and he's

723
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 4: one of those momentum guys. Well, Aaron had the week off,

724
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 4: which I think is great for him recharge. We didn't

725
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 4: need you in San fran get healthy, because I need

726
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 4: everything you've got in Detroit to win this football game.

727
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 4: I mean really, if it is to be, it is

728
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 4: up to him.

729
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 2: So many guys to talk about we could go like

730
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 2: a whole draft a whole seven rounds.

731
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 4: But but you said guard to guard, right, Yeah, guard to

732
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 4: guard that includes him. And you know what Campbell is

733
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 4: going to try to do. He's gonna try to run

734
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 4: through Aaron. He's gonna try to make a statement, right,

735
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 4: So you need Aaron to be that guy to turn

736
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 4: that back. So that is my biggest outside of Matthew Stafford.

737
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 4: That is the guy that could change everything.

738
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 2: It reminds me of what Kyle Shanahan used to do

739
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 2: until Aaron had that four four SAT game that was

740
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 2: crazy with the strip fumble and they were running at him,

741
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 2: and Kyle's like, listen, the next time we play this team,

742
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 2: we will never run him again. So we will go away.

743
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 2: Dan Campbell stubborn in to try it. And I think

744
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 2: it's gonna be time for Aaron Donald to have one

745
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 2: of those games again where when you run at me,

746
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 2: you're gonna see how good I really am. Because again

747
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 2: I'm getting triple team all the time. But in this

748
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 2: running game, I'm gonna get after these guys. Uh Okay,

749
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 2: I've went two de.

750
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: Guys, got Bobby and Michael Hoyle.

751
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm building the trenches, man. We got the trenches

752
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 2: are gonna win this game. Last, but not least, I'm

753
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 2: gonna go with Tyler Higby Higgs, and I will tell

754
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 2: you why. As much as McVeigh can manipulate those middle linebackers,

755
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 2: you've seen that those guys struggle and coverage as well.

756
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 2: Angeloney does a great job of blitzing and those type

757
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 2: of things, and I know Kyroen does a great job

758
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 2: of picking up the blitz, but it's attacking that middle

759
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 2: and getting those You have a rookie out there sometimes playing.

760
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 2: They got different guys. Tyler Higby has to take advantage

761
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 2: of whatever that is. They're not gonna put Brian Branch

762
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 2: on him, right, So you're gonna be the guy that's

763
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 2: gonna have the third or fourth guy covering you. You

764
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 2: got to make You have to make the most of

765
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 2: your plays. And he got a week off and he's

766
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 2: kind of been getting going too. To me, I think

767
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 2: if he's able to catch four or five passes critical

768
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 2: passes on third down, that'll be huge further for the Rams.

769
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: How good is this matchup? I got the ninth and

770
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: final pick, and I could still take Cooper Cup or

771
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: Ernest Jones.

772
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 3: Oh I was gonna do that, but I didn't want

773
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 3: to call a.

774
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: Defense, but I think I gotta go Kiren because of

775
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: what you just said.

776
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm.

777
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: One, because he's been the secret ingredient to the Rams success,

778
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: Like in a year in which everyone is saying the

779
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 1: running back position doesn't matter anymore. Oh my gosh, does

780
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: he matter? And he matters in so many ways. But

781
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 1: what you just pointed out with Azeloni is important to me.

782
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: Like he is a better pass protector than either of

783
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: the two Detroit running backs. I think that's one of

784
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: his competitive edges. And Detroit gets pressure not just from

785
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: their outside but also from all three levels of their defense.

786
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: Linebacker and that melafon Wu is coming to and so

787
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: who's your blitz pick up? Kyron has been fantastic in

788
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: that regard, and I think he can influence this game

789
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: in so many anyways. And then just one other thing,

790
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: the contrast in roster construction. Right when you talk about

791
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: Brad Holmes going from LA to Detroit, the way he

792
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: constructed that thing, he did what you're not supposed to do.

793
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 1: He used two first round picks, not in replacing Jared Goff,

794
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 1: but in an off ball linebacker and in a running back.

795
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: Like that's a huge analytics. No, no, and they've both

796
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 1: been great, like Campbell and Gives have been great. But

797
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 1: Kyroen's a Day three guy. And if he's the best

798
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 1: running back at Ford Field on Sunday night, the Rams

799
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: are playing again next week.

800
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 3: I hope.

801
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 2: So.

802
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 4: I think he has been the difference since the buye

803
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 4: and he has been the difference in this football team

804
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 4: running it the way they've run it, and it's really

805
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 4: helps you know, you know what running the football does

806
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 4: you're a running back. Yeah, what it does to a defense.

807
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 4: I mean you have to honor it. And if when

808
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 4: you start to, you have to take guys out of coverage.

809
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 4: And if you take guys out of coverage, guess what,

810
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 4: you just expose yourself to nine in those receivers. So

811
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 4: running running, running could be a great decoy. Or start

812
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 4: shaking tackles and get off on your own and win

813
00:33:58,920 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 4: the game on your own.

814
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 2: I will say this, I think Kyron doesn't get enough credit.

815
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 2: It was the Giants that it just flashed in my mind.

816
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 2: Stafford dropped back and they sent the blitz, and I

817
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 2: mean it looked like Kyron and this guy has ran

818
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 2: like two trains of the night. But when he hit him,

819
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 2: there was no pushback after that. It was like a

820
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 2: wall of stone. It was like he's a six offensive

821
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 2: lineman out there. And to me, that is gonna be

822
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 2: huge because again, we know Stafford has to have the

823
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 2: ability to step up and read and if you give

824
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 2: Stafford that extra second, that means that defense has to

825
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 2: cover an extra second. And I think more than anything,

826
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 2: he's helped more. I know the running game has done

827
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 2: a great job, but in the passing game, picking up blitzes,

828
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 2: identifying blitzes, he's done way better than a lot a

829
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 2: lot of these other guys in the National Football League.

830
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 2: So to me, he's done a great job. It says

831
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 2: it's too many guys.

832
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 3: Le's go one more round.

833
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,359
Speaker 4: Well, look, the guy you just mentioned is the most

834
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:55,320
Speaker 4: important guy. It's Matthew Stafford. He's got to be Matthew Stafford.

835
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 4: Like he's got to be that guy he was in Detroit.

836
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 4: He's got to be that guy he was here, and

837
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 4: you've got to protect him. You've got to do the

838
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,319
Speaker 4: same thing they're doing for Jared Goff, protect him with

839
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 4: a run game and expose that defense real quick.

840
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: I had Rob Havenstein on the podcast this week. Did

841
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 1: you know that he didn't know that Mike Lafler was

842
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: calling plays last week. The operation was so seamless passing

843
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 1: through Carson's head said, and they were going off the

844
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: wristband or whatever that apparently McVeigh passing the play sheet

845
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 1: was like lost on other parts of that huddle. That's

846
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 1: how seamless the operation was. I bring that up only

847
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 1: because that's awesome. I mean, there's no guarantee Matthews canna

848
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: be able to hear Sean McVay in his helmet this weekend.

849
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: So to your point, he's got to be able to

850
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:33,760
Speaker 1: solve the puzzle at the line of scrimmage.

851
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,959
Speaker 2: So did they do they go to the wristband thing

852
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 2: as well.

853
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:39,879
Speaker 4: I don't think any team in the league is more

854
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 4: prepared to go silent count than the Rams. Oh, I

855
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:44,760
Speaker 4: think they've done it more than any other team. Yeah,

856
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 4: so it's going to be loud. It's going to affect

857
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 4: the team because crowd noise does. But I think they're

858
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 4: equipped to handle it. Like you said before, they've done

859
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 4: it here.

860
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 2: Like I know the Philly game was loud, like they

861
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 2: like when you play some of these teams to travel, Yeah, but.

862
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 3: I like, I like us right like that.

863
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,360
Speaker 2: I think that's what like the kids say, Like I

864
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 2: like me, I like us, I like us, I do

865
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 2: when you look around the league, like I don't think

866
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 2: there's a team maybe Baltimore that's playing better. Maybe, And

867
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 2: when you saw the way the Rams dominated them, it's

868
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 2: just like, okay, like I like us.

869
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 1: How many consecutive Rams picks have you made on NFL Network?

870
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 3: I think, what the year is?

871
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: This seen from the guy whose New Year's resolution was

872
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: don't don't, don't don't. Last chance for a key to

873
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: the game doesn't have to be an individual. Just give

874
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 1: me what you think determines the outcome on Sunday night

875
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:39,879
Speaker 1: before we.

876
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 2: Go special teams, that is me special teams. I believe

877
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 2: the offense is ready, the defense is ready. Special teams

878
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 2: has to step up. And they did a better job

879
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 2: in week eighteen, better energy, better effort. Still missed the kick,

880
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 2: but special teams has to be it's the playoffs. Every

881
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,720
Speaker 2: point matters, and uh, when you don't have another chance

882
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,840
Speaker 2: and their special teams is solid, that can be the

883
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 2: difference of the game.

884
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 1: We did say last week that I felt like the

885
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: Rams are trying to cover their weaknesses on special teams

886
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 1: instead of shooting their shot and letting it rip right.

887
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 1: And I didn't like being in that position. And I

888
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 1: was just guilty of saying, oh, when you brought up

889
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 1: special teams, like this can't be an O week. This

890
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: has to be like this is gonna be our best

891
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 1: third phase of the entire season, like that dispositioned and.

892
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 3: That's just a terrible way to be. Like so yeah,

893
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 3: I just I'm even.

894
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,839
Speaker 2: You don't have to be great, though, you just have

895
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 2: to be what I mean, you have to match like

896
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 2: your covers have to like you're gonna punt in this game,

897
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 2: and when you punt you have to make sure that

898
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 2: he's tackled or put the balls out of bounce.

899
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: I will say this that Dan Campbell has been one of,

900
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: if not the most aggressive fourth down decision makers. Like

901
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:50,879
Speaker 1: forget all the goal line stuff from the two point

902
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 1: conversion of Dallas. That's just one extrapolation of how he lives.

903
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,800
Speaker 1: Maybe Sean McVay is gravitating more towards if we're going down.

904
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 1: We're going down with Matthew Stafford's right on, I like

905
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: kicking anything.

906
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 3: I would love that.

907
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 4: I just remember the last time Detroit was here, how

908
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 4: many fakes did they have?

909
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 3: Oh you remember that? Oh my god? So aggressive?

910
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 1: Right?

911
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I wouldn't be surprised if that happens

912
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 4: again up there. But I mean, I don't think the

913
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 4: environment is going to change Dan Campbell one bit, do you.

914
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 4: I think he's going to be just as aggressive, maybe

915
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 4: even overly aggressive. I think that's how they win. That's

916
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,359
Speaker 4: what they are, my key. I'll just say this, man.

917
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 4: I mean, we know what Detroit is. Detroit is, especially

918
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 4: on offense. They are trying to keep Jared Goff in

919
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 4: that comfort zone by running the football. So stop the run.

920
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 4: That's got to be job number one defensively. He stopped

921
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 4: the run. I think everything flows from that, because if

922
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 4: it becomes a game about arms, I think our quarterback

923
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 4: is better than the one they have. And that's with

924
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 4: all due respect. So but if they run the football

925
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 4: up and down the field, you're gonna have issues. I'm

926
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:47,280
Speaker 4: not saying it's the end all be all, but stopping

927
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 4: the run will give you a great chance to win

928
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 4: up there.

929
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:51,879
Speaker 1: Man, I hope we get to do this again.

930
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 3: Yeah oh yeah.

931
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 1: And I'm not talking like season end recap. I'm saying, man,

932
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: I hope we get to preview a game next week.

933
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 1: It's been awesome hanging out with you guys.

934
00:38:58,680 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 4: All you don't have one?

935
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 3: What you don't have a key to the game? Yeah,

936
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 3: give me your key. Come on, man, what are you

937
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 3: what are you doing?

938
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 1: I spent all mine?

939
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:11,359
Speaker 3: No, you got one in there, you got, you got,

940
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 3: you got so many? Come on?

941
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:15,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I want to say red zone because Jared

942
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 1: and Matthew have been arguably the two best red zone

943
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,240
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the league, and finishing drives rather than selling

944
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 1: for three is always important. I'll never go turnovers in

945
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: a moment like this because that goes without saying. But

946
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,399
Speaker 1: how about just like a masterclass from the head coach

947
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,839
Speaker 1: of the Rams, right like Sean McVay is that dude?

948
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 1: He's proven it again. He's now the second winning this

949
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 1: coach in Rams history. He took last week off too.

950
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 1: I don't really mean that when I say it, but

951
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, yeah, he recharged himself

952
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: for this moment right here. He didn't pour into that

953
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 1: San Francisco game plan. He poured into his players, but

954
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 1: not into that game plan, which tells me he's gonna

955
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 1: be good to go Sunday night.

956
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 3: I like that one.

957
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:59,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why we needed you to say that.

958
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 3: That's the way to end it. Let's get it.

959
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 1: Are we going Detroit style pizza on Saturday night? Or

960
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 1: you guys got something else in mind.

961
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 3: I'm in let's go. Come on, I have work Saturday night.

962

Speaker 4: Four more starts with one in Detroit.
