00:02 Browns Rams gets the short end of the stick.

00:04 We'll make sure we get it a little bit more time.

00:07 But this is, I mean, show Flacco.

00:10 I mean, it's remarkable.

00:12 I feel like every year we would do,

00:15 especially what I was doing the early line with you, Donnie.

00:17 Around, I would say within this like four week window here,

00:21 right, like two weeks earlier and two weeks later,

00:23 we do the, hey, you think Phillip Rivers is coming back?

00:26 Hey, you think Drew Brees is coming back?

00:27 We usually, you know, we'll mix Tom Brady in.

00:30 They never come back.

00:32 All of a sudden, Joe Flacco's back.

00:33 I mean, all of a sudden, we're genuinely sitting here

00:35 with a legitimate playoff caliber team.

00:38 They are supposed to make the playoffs in Cleveland.

00:41 And their quarterback, potentially for the remainder

00:45 of the year, is Joe Flacco, Leece.

00:49 Yeah, it's a problem.

00:50 It's a problem because I didn't like him when he was there

00:52 with the Jets and he's a stationary guy.

00:55 And what's the easiest way to get pressure

00:57 in terms of a quarterback?

00:58 Pocket pressure right up the middle.

01:01 And that's where Aaron Donald in that front seven,

01:03 in my opinion, are gonna pin their ears back

01:05 and go after Joe Flacco earlier and often.

01:08 If Cleveland cannot run the football effectively

01:11 and they're in long third down situations,

01:13 put it, I'll put it on record.

01:15 He's getting sacked six plus times today.

01:17 And that's where I give the edge to the LA Rams defense.

01:20 And I still give the edge to the offense

01:22 because Cooper Cup is back involved.

01:24 Blowout City today.

01:25 - Yeah, I'm not surprised if the Rams do win,

01:27 but again, I'm not even gonna downgrade here

01:29 the Cleveland offense 'cause Flacco's in there.

01:30 I actually think it improves their vertical passing game.

01:32 Not as elusive in the pocket, obviously, as we know that.

01:35 But if I'm gonna get points here, three and a half, four,

01:38 then I'm more impressed not to take Cleveland in this spot.

01:40 You take a look at that number of passing,

01:41 just under 200 yards, 198 and a half,

01:43 depending on where you're shopping at here for Joe Flacco.

01:45 But I'm ultra interested in Amari Cooper, 48 and a half.

01:48 He's got that big arm.

01:49 Cooper can get downfield.

01:50 I know he's banged up,

01:50 but I think he can get 50 yards today, I really do.

01:53 (upbeat music)
