  Speaker 1: I had terrible news, bro. Terrible news. What's the terrible news?
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: I'm leaving from practice. You know, I'm pulling up to
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: the gas station, grab a little bit of gas, and
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: they show Aaron Donald's back.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: You know, I told the O-line, we all go to
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: the weight room like, hey, they didn't got the last
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Infinity Stone. It's time for y'all to, like, we got
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: to do more at practice.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: Whatever we was doing before ain't enough?
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: It ain't enough. We got to do more, y'all. Like,
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: everyone lock in. Everyone's like....
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Nah, like, this is serious. There's, like, he took two
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: years off. I don't care how long. Like, I think
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: people don't realize Jordan took three years off.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Like, he still came back with championships. This could be
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: one of those.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: We're going to get into it, but I got to
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: ask before we go too far. You think he's going
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: to be as dominant as he was before the break?
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: You know, I personally think yes because, like, Before, I
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: think it's different when you kind of put at this position.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: It's like before it was like Aaron Donald, you are
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: a front. We need you to carry the load.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: He does not have that no more. You're telling Aaron Donald,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: he basically be a role. Like this is a one year,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: 20 million role player role. Like, yes, he will be
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: a starter.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Yes, he will be Aaron Donald.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: But like, you don't have to be our whole rush.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: We got that in Myles Garrett. You know, you're getting
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: after Young. This is like Aaron Donald. This is going
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: to be like a walkthrough. No more triple. When I
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: talked to him when I was rehabbing in L.A., he
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: literally said, I didn't want to keep dealing with triple
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: teams and double teams.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: He does not have to do that no more. So
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: how many sacks is he going to be able to
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: get this year? Yo, no break. I would dare not
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: say Aaron Donald break the record if he had this front.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: But like with the break. Wait, okay, okay, okay. With
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: the break, I'm going to put him at like 15.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: At defensive tackle for him? At defensive tackle. 15th. So
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: you're saying he's going to get all one-on-one blocks?
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's going to get one-on-ones every time,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: but majority of times he's going to have to get one-on-one.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: If him and Myles Garrett go to opposite sides, who
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: would you rather? That would be the real question. Who
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: am I one-on-one-ing on this play? Because you can't play
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: max protection the whole game and expect to win football games,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: especially when you know.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: The Rams is going to put up points.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and max protection for those. It's like seven-man protection.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: They got all the people in the block.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't do that every time. That's not good football.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: And then you're going to say, oh, we'll just run
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: it 34 times a game and manage the clock. Like,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: you can't do that because, once again, they have Matthew Stafford.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: They're going to put up points. They are. So what
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: does this mean for Myles Garrett? Man.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. It's like pick your poison. Like,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: this was like an affinity stone. Like, I feel like
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: in some dark conspiracy world, I don't know who are
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the Rams. Or something, they put something together where it
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: was like someone like, like, you know.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: What I mean? Yo, they GM is in the back cooking.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Yo, he's doing something crazy right now. Like, I think
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: this is the craziest off season. So, does Myles Gary
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: get 25 sacks?
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: He can. Like, that's crazy, but he can.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Like, this is one of them fronts that's like, when
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: we look back on like one of the greatest fronts ever, like,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: it'll be one of them.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: I just, I, I, I thought Aaron Donald was the
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: best defensive player. He's definitely the best defensive tackle ever.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: I just don't know what it's going to look like
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: after two years off. That's the only thing that concerns me.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to lie.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I'm not worried about that with him, bro. It's not
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: like he was two years off eating potatoes and hot dogs.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: No, he still looked like that.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: He still was working out like this was planned or something.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: He still was working out. He was still doing what
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: he had to do. Now it's just all about him
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: getting his legs under him. But, like, once you're, like,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: it's not like he's 40 and doing this, bro.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: What is he, 34? 34, 35, something like that. That's
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: not crazy.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Does this make the Rams the favorite in the NFL
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: this year? I mean, you could have put them at
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: the favorite prior because they didn't lose nobody. They went
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: to the NFC Championship and didn't lose anybody. I mean,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I think Haverstein retired the right tackle, but that's not
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: like a, Ha!
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Like, what are we going to do? You know what
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: I mean? Like.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess Miles is definitely an upgrade over Burst.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: And then their corners, they added two premier corners.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Like, not.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Like, they added one all-pro, like, a top 10 corner
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: in the league, like top six.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm. And then they added another one. But, you know
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: what I mean? Good player. Like, it wasn't like... And
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: then their safety unit, you know their safety unit's solid.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: They definitely solid at safety. They got, you know, Miles Garrett,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Brandon Fisk... Puna Ford, Kobe Turner, Byron Young. It's going
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: to be tough.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, they didn't lose no one, bro. Like, Seattle,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: they had to decide who we're going to pay. Let
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: go of Kenneth Walker. You know what I mean? You
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: pay Witherspoon, JSN. You pay Leonard Williams. I mean, and
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: you let go of Tariq Woolen. Like, they had to
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: lose some pieces. You know what I mean? They paid
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: the tackle.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: So, it's not one of those situations where, like, we
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: kind of had to, let some guys go because we
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: can't pay them all, they didn't lose no one, bro.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: They kept everyone. And they added four major additions.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was an upgrade with Myles Garrett over Versus.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Versus is a great player, but Myles Garrett just, you
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: know what I'm saying?
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're just two different categories. Like, that's not
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: even like a... Just different baskets. They shooting at different
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: baskets right now. Yeah, like, it's funny. I'm like, like... Yeah.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: I get it. I get it.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: But, you know, I think this is going to be
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: great for the league. This is great for the league.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: I think it's going to be fun. Like, if you're
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: a football lover, you're like, yo, like I really want
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: to see how this looks, like to see if it's
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: as dominant. Because we always say you still have to perform.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: It looks great on paper, but we still have to perform.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: It's one of the things, like, I started looking in
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: because obviously I'm still in the league and we got
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: to go against them. So it was like, I'm excited
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: to see how great they can be from afar. Like
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: as a friend, as a football lover, but like just
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: as a competitor, nobody wants to face that.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Like, you know what I mean? Like as a competitor, like.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: You don't want to think like you, like, like I
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: don't want to come in like, Oh my God. Like,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: like it might be one of them situations where you like,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: you know, J love, just get out hot, man.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah. They just going to be throwing quick game all game.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: We just got to get the ball. It's going to
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: be six man pass pro. I think we're going to
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: turn the pass protection. To AD. And then chip. We're
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: going to throw the back. We're going to throw the
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: back of mom. But guys, we got to win. We
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: got to win. We got to win routes. And we
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: got to somehow block it up on first down. We
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: got to give them the ball. Oh, there's going to
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: be a lot of runs on first down. Yes. A
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: lot of runs. A lot of screens. We just got
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: to see what we can do to slow them down. Exactly.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: It's going to be fun to watch. It's going to
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: be fun to watch. For sure. For sure.
