00:00let's go over to the nfc championship game here and i've been saying that there's joe namath 2.0
00:05and i say that in light of all the jet fans in new york watching sam darnold and what he's doing
00:11i mean brady think of this this guy's going for his 30th win in two years with two different ball
00:18teams what an amazing renaissance rising from the ashes so to speak for sam darnold how surprised are
00:25you with this story you're right i mean it really is great and you know i i don't know
00:31we've kind of seen it develop over time you remember you know his last few i want to say
00:38it was a month or so with the carolina panthers he started to look pretty good and then kyle
00:43shanahan brought him into san francisco and as a backup there he looked pretty good and then he
00:48went to minnesota great situation there with kevin o'connell and he was a star and yeah i mean maybe
00:54the jets were correct way back when when they drafted this guy so high that he really did have
00:58this talent but he's finally getting the coaching and the environment where i think he can very much
01:03succeed and you know a lot of people are nervous about what we saw last year where he he really
01:09just lost it in the last couple of games the last regular season game the playoff game whatever it was
01:14you know he just did a complete 180 i don't really see it happening he's is he going to turn the ball
01:19over four times today i doubt it um might he throw one interception yeah he might matthew stafford
01:26might throw one but i don't think it's going to be a disaster i think you're going to get an
01:30incredibly competitive game here it's interesting again you know dan because these these opponents
01:35are so familiar with one another i think that benefits sean mcveigh off of a couple of you know
01:41less than perfect games you know didn't have his a game in carolina didn't have his a game last week
01:47in chicago and so he knows he's got to get his act together he's really got to bounce back and and get
01:53back to playing ram football that we saw for most of the season and that we haven't seen for the last
01:58couple weeks or so and who better to make that turnaround than an opponent that you know like
02:05the back of your hand and let's remember you know this vaunted seattle defense mcveigh put up over
02:10500 yards of offense on him last time so i i think the situation is pretty good for the rams who i have
02:17believed are the better team all along but but to your point about donald darnold what what a great
02:24you know change in career for this young man right it looked like it was going to be a disaster
02:29now he's become a hero and a wealthy man absolutely i mean the storyline is just insane i mean like you
02:37said this guy was playing scout team defensive end with baker mayfield and carolina and they were
02:44giving looks he ends up going to san francisco and yeah i remember kyle shanahan even saying
02:49you know this guy can play he ends up going to minnesota and he wins 14 games there then he turns
02:56around and goes to seattle he wins another 14 games and here he is on the cusp of potentially winning
03:01his 30th game and punching his ticket and going in to the super bowl it's an absolutely incredible mark
03:07and what he's done there with that seattle team and i think this is going to be like you said this
03:11is going to be a barn burner of a ball game
