00:00Let's get to the NFL.

00:04Diana Rossini with a tweet the Rams have called multiple teams

00:07about trading former Super Bowl MVP Cooper Cup sources tell

00:10Mike silver and Jordan Rodrigue and me the Rams have indicated

00:14a willingness to take on some 24 salary and are seeking a

00:17second round pick here.

00:19Cooper Cup dubsy when healthy one of the best wide receivers

00:23in football.

00:23Is it a smart move that the Rams are looking to move on to

00:27recoup some of that draft capital and move on with their

00:30franchise a sign of the time.

00:32Sonny you win a Super Bowl and we have seen these lingering

00:35effects going through the next two three four years, but for

00:38the Rams, this wouldn't be great.

00:40I mean Cooper Cup as you highlighted when he is healthy

00:43one of the best wide receivers in the league still got plenty

00:47of upsides to the plenty of production haven't been in the

00:49mix since week two.

00:51They've been dealing with a little niggling injury, but for

00:55the Rams if they still want to stay relevant competitive, I

00:58know that two and four going in to answer week eight here for

01:01Thursday night football.

01:02They need Cooper Cup in the mix.

01:04It's not enough just to have you know, you're number one in

01:07puking the cool once he's back there fully fit and healthy.

01:10But for me Cooper Cup, I'd be trying to hold on to him.

01:13But for any other right, you know outside looking in this

01:16would be a fantastic addition.

01:18If you're sitting right around 500 trying to make a little

01:21playoff push going through the back half of the year Cooper

01:24Cup would be a very very welcome in that wide receiving

01:28room plenty of upside and always one of the more professional

01:30players in that in terms of how he approaches the game.

01:33So I'd like to see it.

01:34I'd like to see him stay out here on the West Coast, but for

01:37Cooper Cup could be headed to greener pastures got to be

01:41proactive as a franchise it like if you see this season playing

01:44out there two and four as you said Dubsy, they're going to

01:45play good football team on Thursday night.

01:47You're two and five.

01:48I don't think you're making the playoffs and it's time to maybe

01:50look towards the future.

01:51Maybe Cooper Cup isn't a part of that.

01:53Why because the Rams now also from an Adam Schepter tweet or

01:55designating wide receiver Puka Nukuwa for return from IR.

01:59That's the future.

02:00That's the young guy that's going to carry you through the

02:02next five to ten years of your franchise and hopefully he's

02:04going to be a dominant player.

02:06But also if you do pick up a win on Thursday night, you're

02:09now three and four Nukuwa coming back Cooper Cup, obviously

02:12back in the fold.

02:13Maybe it's time to hold on to those players.

02:15So it is interesting to see how this is going to play out.

02:18Dubsy, but Puka he's going to come back into the fold sooner

02:20than later.

02:22Yeah, and Puka Nukuwa, I mean, he was absolute revelation last

02:26season.

02:26I know he won a lot of fantasy leagues out there for the

02:29betters and look plenty of upside.

02:31He was underrated coming out of the draft there, but certainly

02:34looks to be a fantastic product for the Rams and certainly

02:37something they could build around their move through the next

02:40couple of years.

02:41They've got that run game to lay that foundation.

02:43Kyron Williams.

02:44He's been absolutely fantastic.

02:46But for Matty Stafford, you want the one, two, three punch if

02:50you can keep it, but it looks like time is ticking, Cooper

02:53Cup, he could be on the move and Puka Nukuwa could be getting

02:57set, but he's big return.

02:59So get ready to put him in those lineups.

03:01Dubsy, anytime I hear a franchise is thinking about moving

03:04on from their superstar players.

03:06How do you buy in on that?

03:07Because if you look at the Rams at the Fandula Sportsbook, team

03:09win total six and a half, which means seven has to cash.

03:12If you're trading away Puka Nukuwa, who says you're not going

03:14to trade away other players on that team and not sending your

03:16white flag up.

03:17The playoffs are a long shot at a plus 610 price.

03:19The NFC West to win.

03:20That's a 10-1 here and the worst record in the NFL at 31-1.

03:24Is there any buy-in opportunities, Dubs, for you with those

03:28Rams?

03:29No, I think it's a pretty grim outlook starting with Thursday

03:32night football.

03:33The Vikings, they're one of the best teams right down the mix.

03:36Then they go on the road to take on the Seattle Seahawks up there

03:39in Seattle and then welcome in the Dolphins.

03:42So there's a very good chance that they don't even pick up a

03:44win going through the next three and it certainly would be enough

03:48to sell the farm, shop up, move on to the next one.

03:51Tough beat, tough out, but no, it's not a great outlook for the

03:55Rams at this point of the season.

03:57Unfortunately, Donnie, with so much parity in the National

04:00Football League, injury, health, you need a bit of a good rub,

04:04especially at this point of the season. 49ers don't have it.

04:07The Rams don't have it.

04:08So it's been tough sledding early.

04:10I'll tell you what's going to be nuts too, because you look at

04:12that line on Thursday night.

04:13Minnesota finally took their first loss of the season, but still

04:15a quality team.

04:16Only a three-point favorite here at the Fanville Sportsbook.

04:19Even some outlets, Dubzy, already down to a two and a half total

04:22in that game, listed at 48 and a half. The last stand for the Rams

04:26Thursday night, Dubzy. Quick preview from you.

04:28Did they get it done?

04:29Can they hang around?

04:30What happens?

04:31No, I don't think so.

04:32I think it's going to be a big bounce back for the Vikings.

04:35I think there's levels to this thing and you know, as coach said

04:38with the NBA, they just don't have the horses.

04:41I just don't think the Rams have the health.

04:43I don't think they have the pieces.

04:44You know, McVay's obviously one of my favorite head coaches in

04:48the business.

04:49He can scheme up with the best of them, but I just think that's

04:51a really fishy line.

04:53I'm leaning towards the Vikings in a primetime spot.

04:55I just don't think the Rams have the weapons.
