• 0:00
  Speaker 1: It's a Bud Light Football Friday. Bud Light, the official
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: beer sponsor of the Denver Broncos. Remember to enjoy responsibly.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: So we'll talk to J.B. Long in 20 minutes as
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: he'll give us a breakdown, play-by-play man for the Rams,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: what to expect this weekend, Sunday Night Football. I have
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: another question regarding college football this weekend. After witnessing what
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: we saw in Northwestern last week, Colorado is going on
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: the road to play at Baylor. Baylor is favored by 9.5.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: What should happen this weekend? Do we even have an answer?
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: I have absolutely no clue. And you know why? Because
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: they can't believe what I saw last weekend. Yeah.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: I don't know what to think. Do you guys remember, though,
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: the last time CU played Baylor at CU? That crazy finish?
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: The touchdown in the end zone?
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Do you remember how crazy that was? That game was
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: one of the best games of the season, man. I
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: don't know what to expect. I have no idea.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Baylor's better.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Certainly a lot better than they were last year.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: But.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: You start to look at the schedule and the CU opponents,
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: and you start to count how many wins are left.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: That's what I was doing before the season started, but
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: then they had those first couple of weeks, and I
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: was like, okay, maybe you're working with something here. And
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: now Northwestern is throwing a wrench in all of that,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: and I have no idea. I mean, after Baylor, guys,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: you play Texas Tech the following game, the following week.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Then you're on a bye. Then you have Utah with
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: their two quarterback system that's, Number 15 team in the
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: country right now. But then, yeah, it's Kansas State who
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: looks pretty good to start the year. It's Arizona State.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: It's Houston who's ranked again. Yeah, you start counting those
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: games like where are the wins? I don't know.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: But why shouldn't you be as good as those teams?
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I agree with you. And what I want to see, Moj,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: it's like, can you prove to me that last week
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: was just a fluke of just awful circumstances all coming together?
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: That happens sometimes.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: It does.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: You just have games where it's just nothing goes your way.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: But you can't have those repeatedly because then that's not
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: a fluke. That's a part of who you are. So
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: they need to change that. On the other side, CSU,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: they came off that blowout loss to BYU. Again, that's
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the number 11 team in the country. Provide some grace, whatever.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: You know what the spread is between CSU and UTSA
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: this weekend?
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like 14 or something. What is it?
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: UTSA is favored by 14 points.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, the problem is Haney's not playing. You might
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: even be on your third string quarterback up there.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, obviously up there. I'm talking about
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: the Rams. You might be on your third string quarterback.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: And now you've got to go on the road to
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Texas San Antonio, which is not a bad team.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: 14's a lot of points, man.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: It feels like it, but your quarterbacks are injured, dude.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: I honestly do not know what to make of it.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: They played each other last year. UTSA won 17-16.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say this, though. Covering the spread against
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: BYU when your starting quarterback goes out early, It's not
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: too shabby. I mean, I have high hopes for the Rammys, but... Moj.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: Moj.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: What?
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Be honest here. There was a lot of empty calories
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: at the end of that game that led to them
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: covering the spread. They didn't cover the spread in the
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: sense of, like, played them tough.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: But the game was essentially over once.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: When Haney went down.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Once Haney went down. Once he went down, it was over. Correct. So,
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: that team can ill afford those kind of losses.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: You can't.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: You just can't. So.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: I don't even count last week's game. It's just like
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: as soon as he went down, it was a different game.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Agreed.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Agreed.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: As far as other matchups, we'll have one tomorrow.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, go ahead.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: I just looked at it.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: UTSA is favored by two touchdowns.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't get it.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: The University of Texas San Antonio is favored by two touchdowns.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: When did this happen?
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: What are you talking about?
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: When did UTSA happen?
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know when they happened.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Wait, like when did their school form?
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: I lived in that part of the country. I don't
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: remember them even having a football team. And now they're
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: like two touchdowns favorites?
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Man, do you know what their record is at home
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: over their head coach Jeff Traylor? Seven seasons?
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: They're 34-5.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: At home.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Pretty good. They started essentially, Vic... Oh, man. They got
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: final approval for their helmets in 2009. I mean, this
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: is like a... They've really only been in existence for
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: less than 16 years. 15 years. That's crazy. They've been
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: in existence for 15 years.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: Correct. Correct.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: And they play at the Dome, the Alamo Dome, I think.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Hang on a second. Yeah, their first year was 2011,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: it looks like.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Do they ever play Mississippi School for the Women?
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: No, but you want to hear their opening season, who
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: they played in 2011? Yeah. Northeastern State?
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: McMurray?
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Baycomb? Minot State? Do me a favor, Moj. Look up
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: McMurray College and look up Baycone and tell me where
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: they are.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: What the hell is Baycone? That's got to be in Louisiana,
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: just the way you pronounced it.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Well, it's bacon with an E at the end, so
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming Baycone.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: McMurray's in Abilene, Texas. Okay. Spell bacon.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: What?
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Spell bacon. When I'm really hungry, I'm like, I'm going
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: to get me some Flapjacks and Baycone.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, I should start saying that. It's B-A-C-O-N-E.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Baycone. It's in Muskogee, Oklahoma. I have no idea. Is
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: that a D2 school?
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: A lot of them had to be, yeah. I mean,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: that was their first season, though. That was their first
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: year in 2011, so they're probably just looking for teams
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: to play to have a season.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: By the way, Bay Cone College doesn't exist anymore. They
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: shut down after 145 years in 2025.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Because UTSA beat them 54-7.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: I guess.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Hold on. So someone says UTSA's quarterback, Gru, says his
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: own McCown. Is that the kid that was at CU
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: for a cup of coffee?
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Well, I think, wasn't McCown the starter like last year?
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Pretty sure.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: Transferred to UTSA, now he's running the show over there.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Hang on. Hold. He played for the, yeah, he did
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: play for the Buffs. Correct.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Man. Yeah.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: So, here's the thing. I don't know if Haas Haney
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: is resulting in a 14-point swing, whether he's going to
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: play or not, but it feels like.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: It's a lot. Hey, man, look, as excited, what's so funny,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: going into last weekend, how excited were we for all
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: these games to find things out?
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Very, and we found out.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: And the problem is, I didn't want to found out.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: And that's the problem, is you found out stuff you
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: didn't want to found out.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I didn't like that found out.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: You go to Northwestern and play in a lacrosse field
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: and get your butts whooped. I didn't want to find
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: that out either.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I'm much more of a bleep around kind of guy.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Bleep around is fun. I don't like the found out.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: So at this point, what happened was is that it
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: sort of just, especially for the Buffaloes, not necessarily the Rams,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: I think that Jim Mora's building, he's going to build
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: and be fine. I think he's going to be okay.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: But for the Buffaloes, I found out that I don't
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: know what I don't know about this football team. How
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: do you go to Northwestern, and they might be pretty
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: decent this year, but how do you go there and
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: get drilled like that? I thought this turning the ball
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: over and all this other stuff, I thought it was
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: kind of behind us. And they just turn the ball
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: over like crazy. Lewis is throwing picks, and it becomes
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: a total mess.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: You know what?
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: So I don't know what to expect at Baylor, but
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know why you should be worse than Baylor. Overall,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: as a program, the status of your university and so on,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: you shouldn't be worse than the Baylor Bears. And no
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: offense to Burton Oley, who's a bear till he dies,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: but you shouldn't be worse than them.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: I got to be honest with you.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: I hate to tell you this, but the pockets in
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: Baylor are much deeper than they are in Boulder.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: I got to be honest with you.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: How many Kelly subs do they have?
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: I'm going to tell you this right now. Baylor's pockets
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: are very deep.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Shout out to CU and CSU for last weekend. Because
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I learned something about myself. That I am much more
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: of the bleep around guy. Bleep around suits my personality
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: a lot. Finding out is not something that I enjoy.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: You're going to pass on the finding out aspect.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: I'll pass on finding out. Leap around is my, that's
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: my wheelhouse.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: That's your jam.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: By the way, in other college football stuff happening over
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: the weekend, 10 o'clock in the morning, it's Texas versus Tennessee.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Number one versus number 14. I still, I don't know
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: how you guys feel. I watch Arch Manning. I'm like,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: he's good. If you had to bet right now, is
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: he a top three pick? If he leaves for the draft,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: which he's a junior, he doesn't have to.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: If his name was Brett Kane, would he be a
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: top three pick?
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: That's what I don't know.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Or is it because he's a Manning and the pedigree
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: is there? Honestly, let me watch this game on Saturday morning.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Let me really, really watch him, and I'll tell you
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: what I see.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Cause they had that Ohio state game a couple of
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: weeks ago. That was six points heading into the fourth
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: quarter before they made that huge comeback.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: You know, very Broncos. He shout out to him, but
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: I just don't know how to quite he's good.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: He's good.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: He is certainly good. But the way that people talk
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: about him, like, Oh, the second he declares he's he's
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: first pick. I'm like, I don't know if it's that.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: Well, he had impossible expectations, right?
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: They really were.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, for him to ask Arch Manning to all
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: of a sudden you're wearing your Manning superhero cape and
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: you got to win every game you play. Let's let
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: the season play out. But there are so many good
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: young quarterbacks. There's a college. You know what's crazy about this, Brett?
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: You ask me, will he be a top three pick?
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Then you have to ask who's better tailored for the
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: NFL game. Like right now for the college game, I'll
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: take Shambliss over him. Right now, for the college game.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: Would you guys agree?
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but Trinidad Chambliss is not going to... The likelihood
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: of him equating to an NFL career is not strong.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Which is why I'm glad for him that he was
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: awarded that final year and able to make some money.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: I'll give you another example. Kevin Jennings at SMU, great
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: college quarterback.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: Like, great.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Don't think he's a pro. But he can run, he
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: can throw, he can do all that different stuff. I
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: don't think that's going to translate to the league.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: And it's not necessarily because he's not skillful or a
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: good player. It's that the way pro coaches run their
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: teams in their games, their talents don't translate to the
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: national football league.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: But what's crazy is I didn't think, like, I saw
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: a lot of Riley Leonard when he played. He's a pro.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: I didn't think he was going to be a pro.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: Some people surprise you.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: I was hammering a lot of Jack Strand tape when
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: he was in college.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, sure you were.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: But to Vic's point, like, Brock Purdy was the last
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: pick of the draft. He played for an Iowa State
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: team that was mostly unremarkable. He was fine at Ohio State,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: and now he's one of the better quarterbacks in the league.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: But he had, like, an NFL sort of traditional makeup
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: when he was in college that I'm sure helped. Like,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: one guy I don't know about, what about Mensah out
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: of Miami?
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Kid's a good player, man.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: He is.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Kid's a good player. Sometimes you get a guy who's
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: such a good player that you're saying to yourself, all right,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: let's get this guy in, and we're going to tailor
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: our offense to what he does well.
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Right? But the thing is, can you make the pro throws?
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Can you read the pro defenses? All these kinds of things.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: How do you act under pressure when the best in
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: the world are running you down? Yep.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: By the way, good news out of Washington– They are
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: not going to put Jaden Daniels on IR. They said
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: the results that they got from that elbow injury now
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: makes him week to week. And that is hard for
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: me to believe considering his elbow was pointing the wrong direction.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: It went the wrong way. Dude, does he have elbows?
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: You know, like some people have knee issues. Does he
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: have elbow issues? That's the same elbow as last year.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: It wasn't as bad last year, but that's the same elbow.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Well, wasn't he the guy that we... After the draft, like,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: we put a picture of him up, and his throwing
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: elbow was, like, gigantic.
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Hey, do you want to gross out?
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Not really. Oh, yeah, please.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Google Dusty Baker's elbow.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: Hang on.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Dusty Baker.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Google Dusty Baker's elbow. Google Jesse Trujillo's feet.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, don't do that.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: I'm seeing him in a lot of long sleeves here, Vic.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: Well, they didn't expose the— he had some— What do they
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: call that thing?
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Bursa sack.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: You remember when Joe Montana had a bursa sack problem? Yeah.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: It was gross, man.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: It looks like there's a second elbow growing on the elbow. Well,
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: that's what it looked like for Jaden Daniels.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: I can't find it. You ever see those guys? Like,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: did you see?
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: You guys didn't watch Hard Knocks. The season-long quarterback Hard Knocks.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry. They featured Joe Flacco among the quarterbacks. Joe
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: Flacco last year went down in a heap. and injured
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: his shoulder. And he had one of those bumps.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: On his shoulder. Oh, yeah. Keenan Allen has two of them.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, one of those deals.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: They look like spikes.
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: That's just not natural.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: So we'll get back to this in just a little bit.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Let's make way for J.B. Long, who joins us next.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: All right, let's head out to the Ramos Law Hotline.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Car accident, you need Ramos Law. Medical doctor and attorney, RamosLaw.com.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Get a look, a preview of Sunday Night Football Broncos
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: and Rams with the voice of the Rams, J.B. Long. J.B.,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: how are you, man? Thanks for the time.
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: Gentlemen, good morning. Thank you for the invitation. Happy Friday.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: Greetings from Lubbock, Texas. Looking forward to getting to Denver.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Why are you in Lubbock, Texas?
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: Got the Red Raiders on TV tomorrow, the defending Big
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: 12 champions.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Let's call it what it is. He's our coworker, okay?
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: true that's right we're all one big happy family except
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: on sunday when the rams get to town i guess
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: hey jb uh.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: Hold on if he's our co-worker jb i'm gonna reach
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: out to you because it's almost time for you know
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: the hr benefits enrollment and i always get confused can
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: i lean on you for the proper guidance on insurance benefits.
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: That's right i handle uh the hr stuff except for
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: uh Except for all the training. Those videos are a responsibility. Gotcha.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Hey, JB, we know what happened down under, right? Do we, though?
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: I guess we don't, but we're kind of putting the
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Broncos and the Chiefs game in the rear view. I'm
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: sure the Rams have put that Niners game in the
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: rear view. What we saw last weekend against the Giants,
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: is that the real Rams or is there more to come?
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: I sure hope so. I mean, I think it's analogous
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: to the fourth quarter, what you saw there, mile high.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: When I think about the last three games that these
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: teams have played, bitter disappointment in the conference championships, right?
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: Kind of week one flops, and then hopefully a sign
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: of what's to come in their most recent outings. The
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: 49ers are always a unique challenge unto themselves. That's a
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: rivalry game, a division game, and that's a family feud,
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: I would say. So whether you play it in Australia
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: or LA or Santa Clara, that game can always be problematic.
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: But I think what we saw last week was the
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: Rams taking advantage of better circumstances, not just where they
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: were and what time their body clocks were on, but
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: also the fact that, you know, anytime you knock out
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: the opposing quarterback at the end of the first drive,
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: you're going to be set up for success. And Jameis
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: Winston and the Giants were not ready for what they
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: walked into against a hungry and motivated Rams group that
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: knew that they could not afford to start 0-2.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: What's the fear, JB, for the Rams heading into this game?
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Do they fear the Broncos' defense? Is there any fear
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: of the Broncos' offense?
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: You know, I would say no NFL team is built
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: for third and long, but this one in particular, like
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: they had the most efficient running game in the league
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: last year. They led the NFL in scoring, and they
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: did so because they were on time. They were on track.
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: They were ahead of schedule, and that opened up Sean
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: McVay's playbook and allowed Matthew Stafford to play really confidently
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: and comfortably. If you can get them into some negative
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: down and distances, make their tackles hold up against the
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: Denver pass rush, play sticky coverage the way that they
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: uniquely can. That's going to be a troublesome formula for
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: any opponent, but especially the Rams as they're currently constituted. Offensively,
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: I'll be really curious to see. It doesn't seem like
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: Bo's running quite as much, but that could be around
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: the next bend, and I respect that. I know Chris
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: Shule and the Rams defense do as well. Be curious
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: to see how many of those running backs make it
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: to game day and what that rushing challenge looks like,
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: what it presents. But I think the Rams and the
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: Broncos are alike in this regard too. They went for
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: it this offseason. You know, if not for all the
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: tectonic shifts in L.A., I think the move for Waddle
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: probably gets a lot more national coverage and understanding and
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: recognition for the piece that that was to take them
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: to the next level and to get to that final dance.
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: You won't see Miles Garrett, of course. You will see
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: Aaron Donald. But Trent McDuffie is the move that kind
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: of made it all go. And it feels like that
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: happened five years ago because all the other things the
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: Rams have done. But I've said to our audience numerous times,
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: if you just freeze time, from where the Rams were
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: losing the NFC Championship game in Seattle, and all you
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: do is add Trent McDuffie, I think they become the
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: frontrunners and the favorites probably. All the other subsequent moves
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: just amplified that. McDuffie has been as advertised. I mean,
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: if you love number one receiver against lockdown corner matchups,
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: this is the game for you on Sunday night.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: I can't wait.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: Well, you've only had one game to evaluate, Aaron Donald,
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: but how close is he to the Aaron Donald you saw.
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: A few years ago? Man, when you see greatness, and
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: I know, Vic, you've been exposed to it in lots
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: of different fields, you know it, you feel it, it
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: makes the hair on your neck stand up. And seeing
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: him come back out of that tunnel, you know, I
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: saw his prime and I consider it one of the
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: great privileges of my life and career. To see even
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: one more snap from him gave me chills. To see
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: him do it the way that he did at the
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: level he did, super impressive, but I can't say I'm
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: surprised because he only does life one way. If he
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: didn't think that he could add to his legacy, he wouldn't.
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: risk putting it back out on Front Street on Monday
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: Night Football at age 35. I think he will continue
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: to get better as he knocks off Russ. He said
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: he watched all 33 of his snaps six times in
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: the film room this week, and that's just Aaron Donald.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: Because he's preternaturally talented, because he's so hardworking, I think
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: what has always gotten underappreciated is that he is quarterback
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: smart on the defensive line. and that's why he's achieved
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: the highest level in the sport.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: JB, do you have the same gym membership as Aaron Donald?
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: Do you lift alongside him?
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the dusty 150-pound dumbbell was reserved just for us.
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: So now that he's come out of retirement, I have
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: to wait my turn.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just watched him. intently in the snaps that
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: he was in last weekend. And I'm like, oh boy,
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: even if he's not making that play right away, he's
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: just such a disruptor, you know, and just it frees
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: up everybody else. It's amazing to me. Speaking of that,
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: freeing up everybody else, how many guys are going to
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: be needed? What's the injury situation with Puka, with Parkinson
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: and other guys who may or may not be in?
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, starting with Puka, I mean, it didn't sound great
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: at last check. We'll find out here before Friday's through,
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: you know, what his status might be for this weekend. Coincidentally,
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: the Rams have played two of their best offensive games
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: the last two years without him in the lineup. Now,
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: you'd always rather have Puka, but the two games I'm
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: talking about were last week, Devontae Adams' best game as
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: a Ram, and then London last year, where this three
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: tight end identity really formed. That was a five touchdown
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: performance from Matthew Stafford. So, Again, you wouldn't wish anything
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: but Puka health and Puka availability for the Rams offense.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: But I think in a very small sample size, they've
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: proven to be potent even if he can't go. And
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: they really lead into their tight end depth. They're carrying five.
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: They had five dressed on Monday night. I can't believe
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: the era of football we're living in, especially considering this
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: was the team that went to the nth degree with
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: 11 personnel. So they'll be a much different group than
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: the last Rams that the Broncos saw. Back on, what
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: was that, Christmas Day 2022?
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: That was the Baker Mayfield game, yeah.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: Talk about life coming at you quickly in the national football.
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: Who's even around from those rosters? It's unbelievable. J.B.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Long with us, voice of the Rams. So you have
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: one of the best head coaches in the league, reigning
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: MVP at quarterback, big-time playmakers on offense, McDuffie, Aaron Donald.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: What's the flaw? If you had to pick a flaw
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: through the first couple of weeks of this season, what
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: is it?
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll just add best owner in sports, too, since
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: I'm talking to my family. There you go, yeah. In
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: this environment, there's no perfect team. You can build a
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: dream team. I know that label is applied to the Rams,
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: but you have to cut corners somewhere to make all
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: the things go. To trade for Trent McDuffie, to trade
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: for Miles Garrett, to fit Aaron Donald in under the
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: salary cap last minute. You have to be short somewhere.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: It's been identified that off-ball linebacker is maybe not the
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: strength of this team. They roll with four undrafted guys there.
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: I think in both directions, the more that you can
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: manipulate linebackers and get favorable matchups with linebackers, that's probably
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: where these offenses would like to live and have some success.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: But right now, the elephant in the room is the
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: special teams unit. And it's been that way for several
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: years in Los Angeles. They made big time changes. Lots
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: of investments in the kicking game this offseason. And through
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: two games, unfortunately, there are 32 out of 32 teams
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: in the league in terms of kicking game efficiency. And
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: it's been in all phases. It's been punt, kickoff, coverage, return,
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: and place kicking. They missed their first last week. So
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: I think a lot of opponents, when they try to
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: put their game plan together and figure out how are
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: we going to beat a really good contender. We got
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: to make a winning play in that third phase. And
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't be surprised if that's Denver's aim on Sunday night.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: It's funny that you mentioned that because when I was
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: watching the game last week, I was like, who's the
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: big boy that's lining up for the field goal.
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: That's the thicker kicker with two C's Harrison Mevis.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: I saw this guy and I'm like, the hell's going
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: on there, right? I mean, he's got a real Janikowski
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: feel to him. Does he not?
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: He's a fifth linebacker too. I mentioned that position group.
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: They kind of overlap.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: What a weird start to the season, the schedule. Thursday night,
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: Monday night, and now Sunday night.
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: For the Rams.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: That's what you get when you're one of the marquee teams.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: Do you think the short week affects them at all?
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: They dealt with this stuff. It doesn't hurt anymore.
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's an insightful question. I read that they're the
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: first team in league history to play three straight island
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: games prime time. Like you said, three days of the week,
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: three different time zones. After we go to Philadelphia next week,
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: it'll be four different time zones in the first weeks.
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: That's kind of life on the West Coast, and certainly
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: when you raise your hand and host an international game. Tuesday,
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: I think, is probably the only day the Rams will
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: end up not playing this season. Crazy. Wow.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: So let me ask you that, though, JB, because I'm
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: assuming you were on the same flight as the team
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: was going to Australia?
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: Close. I went a couple days ahead for some business
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: type things.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: He was on a kite, a hand glider.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Well, no, no.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: I was wondering, like, look.
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: I started walking 4th of July.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they strapped him to a humpback whale and pointed
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: it toward Australia.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: No, I'm saying the same day because I was going
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: to ask you. Sean McVay pretty much admitted, hey, probably
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: the wrong call to go down when we did. We
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: didn't get adjusted to whatever. Did you feel that?
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: You know, here's what I appreciate about Sean is in
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: his heart of hearts, does he really think that was
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: the wrong thing? choice. I doubt it because they put
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: so much thought into like, they're not going to let outcomes,
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: you know, rule their decision-making process.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: But he'll eat it.
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: He'll eat that though.
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: But he'll eat it. If that's the sword he has
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: to fall on to give his team a fresh start
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: and to feel like they're undefeated on American soil and
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: to be eyes forward. I've seen him do that dozens
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: of times. all the praise gets deflected, all the blame
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: gets absorbed, and I think that's what you want from
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: your head man.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: Listen, Brett is a diehard Lions fan, and I think
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: he was probably thrilled the day that the trade went
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: down to release Matthew Stafford to the Rams to continue
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: his career.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Well, I was justified in my assessment of Stafford. Everybody
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: thought he was bad. I go, no, he's a Lion.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: There's a difference here.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a difference. But listen, the first touchdown pass
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: to Adams last week, where he's sliding to his left
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: through the pocket, and he does this three-quarter thing over
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: two guys, including the linebacker, who leaped as high as
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: he could, and Adams made a great catch and whatnot.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: But I just look at that, and I'm like, I
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: don't know how many guys in the league can even
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: make that pass. How is he still able to do
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: it at his advanced age? I mean, JB, you get
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: to see it every week, but I look at it,
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, this guy is still, yeah, he's the MVP,
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: but he's still got it. It's crazy.
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, a year ago, it was looking like he was
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: heading to injured reserve to start the season with that
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: back problem. And then they put that immortal chamber outside
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: the facility. I don't know if you saw that make
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: in the rounds, that kind of Airstream red light therapy machine.
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: And ever since he's been an MVP, it's incredible. We
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: should all spend some time.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, send that to Denver, man. I'll hop in that
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: sucker every day.
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: I heard someone describe it as arm arrogance, that throw
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: that you're describing. And I thought that was like the
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: perfect encapsulation of Matthew Stafford. there's not a throw that
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: he can't make. He believes that. The opponents fear that.
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: And he didn't get all the gifts. He's not the fastest,
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: the fleetest of foot. But my goodness, that guy is
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: still one of the top five throwers of the football
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: on the planet, I believe. And he is whip smart, too.
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: And when he's playing with that swagger, it's one of
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: the coolest things I get to see in sports.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: Because, JB, the safety thought, oh, I got him. I
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: got him. He's going for the pick. I mean, he just, it's, it's, it's, it's,
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: cause when you watch it from behind, it's incredible. It's just.
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: When you watch it from behind, that's exactly right. This
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: is a bit granular, but I love when football teams
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: have helmet markings that allow you to feel the quarterback's eyes, right.
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: Cause you can't see him. And I think having Matthew
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: Stafford literally in horns, this last handful of years has
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: elevated his stature in the league because these no look
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: throws that go viral, you know, when Patrick Mahomes does it,
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: I think people have realized, Oh wait, Matthew's been doing
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: that since my homes was in eighth grade. Yeah.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: You know, what's funny is that you talk about the
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: arm arrogance thing. We just brought this up. Orlovsky was
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: on ESPN this summer talking about Stafford. He said when
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: they were in Detroit, they were watching film, and he
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: took a deep corner throw between a safety and a
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: cornerback that was tight window when he had a wide
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: open running back for like a 15-yard game underneath. He goes,
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: why didn't you just dump it off? Why make that throw?
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: And Stafford said, because I can and you can't.
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: This is not why you asked the question, but I'm
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: thinking of Orlovsky being off the hook finally since you're
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: a Detroit guy. When that Vanderbilt quarterback gacked up the
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: game last week. All he had to do was Orlovsky
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: that thing and that'd be some goodie.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: So you're doing the Texas Tech game. Not as good
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: as I thought they were going to be. In your research,
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: what's their deal? They're obviously not having Sorsby. They've got
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: to go to Plan B. Who's quarterbacking for them now?
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I might borrow that line. That's kind of our
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: lead stories. Here they are, 3-0 defending champs, and everyone's
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: wondering what's wrong with them. They're kind of flashing back
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: in time and reminding people that they weren't a complete
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: product through September last year. They've got another great roster.
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: They've invested a ton in it. I'm not sure they
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: have all the NFL draft talent that they did a
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: year ago, especially on defense. And yeah, they weren't telling
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: on themselves with their quarterback plan, but anytime you're pursuing
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: a quarterback of that stature in the portal, you're trying
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: to get better there. But really, they're trying to get healthy.
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: And Will Hammond, the guy they have, is coming off
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: an ACL at the end of last season. So they're
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: kind of hedging their bet there. And believe it or not,
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: they didn't start him last week. They kind of went
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: with Castellanos, the journeyman, and he threw a pick on
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: their first play. And for whatever reason, that lit a
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: fire under Hammond. And he had a great game. They
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: beat Houston. And that's the last ranked opponent on their schedule.
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: So a lot of people have already penciled them in
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: for the Big 12 championship game. We shall see. Conference
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: play does funny things, as you guys know.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: Well, they'll smoke Sam Houston this weekend. So have fun
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: tomorrow calling him.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: Former president of the Texas Republic, by the way, Moshe.
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: Sam Houston. Thanks, man.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: I'm sure JB will use that on the broadcast.
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: I literally just added that to my gamer. Thanks. I mean,
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: maybe Vic should jump down here.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: He probably should. Get your butt on a plane. Hey,
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: last thing for you. I do. this show a lot
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: from hotel rooms, traveling with the Avalanche, right? And so
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: I'm all over the place. Now, I'm looking at your hotel.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: The idiots here always blast me, you know, four-post bed
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: or whatever it is. Is that a refrigerator? What the
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: hell is that behind you? What is that? Yeah, I'm in.
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: I know you guys are doing radio, but check this
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: puppy out. I mean, does this not make you feel
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: like you're in Texas or what?
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: That's amazing. That is awesome. That is sweet.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Dude, that's like if you blew up a mini bar.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: 1962 or something, yeah. You know what that reminds me of?
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: The scene from Landman where those guys, those oil guys
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: are sitting in those trailers and they have those old-style refrigerators.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: They go grab a bud, and that's what it looks
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: like right now.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Good for you.
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: I got a view of the pump jack right out
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: this window.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: JB, you're the man.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Thanks for the time this morning.
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: All right, looking forward to connecting back through Denver for
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: Sunday Night Football.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: See you then, buddy.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: There you go, J.B. Long, voice of the Rams, giving
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: us a little preview of what to expect on Sunday
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: Night Football. Here's one thing that he mentioned that I
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: wasn't really thinking about, but now it might be a
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: big deal. You keep Marvin Mims on this roster because
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: he's literally statistically, he averages the most punt return yards
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: per return per In the history of the league, on
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: I think it was like a minimum of 75 returns,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: if they have a big special teams problem, Marvin Mims' health,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: as he was limited in practice a couple days earlier
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: this week, that could be a big thing if he
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: can go.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: That could be game-changing type of stuff.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Could be.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it really could be. I know he's got that
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: foot issue, but if that's the, quote, Achilles heel, no
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: pun intended, of the Rams, healthy, the Broncos have one
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: of the best.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Well, here's the other thing, too. I wonder if with
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: their kicking problems, and we watched the big kicker, forget
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: his name.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: Mavis.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: He had one attempt last week. He missed it. That
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: was at the end of half. I wonder if the
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: Rams are going to be one of those teams because
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: of that, that, hey, if it's fourth and six, maybe
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: we go. Maybe we don't even risk it.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: But what are the odds? Mavis makes the field goal,
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: misses the field goal, or Stafford picks up the first down. Yeah.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: If I had to put my money on something, I
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: think Stafford getting six yards would be better than a
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: kicker you don't trust.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: Vic, I'm not so sure that I like the way
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: he described Aaron Donald. I mean, in such a positive way,
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: this guy could wreck things. I mean, if he's feeling good.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: Better double him.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: My favorite part of that whole interview was just the
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: description of Stafford's arm arrogance. And Mosher, I thought immediately,
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: you got some mouth arrogance.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: You do.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: You do. It's a real mouth.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: You're the one who's been mouthy for two months.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's deserved because I can and you can't.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: I hate to break it to you because.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: I'm me and you're you.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Watch your mouth. All right. You're going to be in
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: the find out stage here pretty quickly. No, I don't
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: want to look around.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: I like bleeping around. Oh, by the way, next.
