00:00Let's flip things over to the NFC between the Rams and the Seahawks.
00:03Of course, the Seahawks coming away.
00:05With another win over the Rams, another high-scoring game, Joe.
00:10Really, at the end of the day, as you alluded to in the opening segment, Sam Darnold quieting.
00:15The critics going for a fantastic game.
00:17They had the balance between the passing and the rushing.
00:20Obviously, we saw the Rams punch back with their own effort, with Matt Stafford doing.
00:25His normal thing at 374 and three touchdowns.
00:28But just from a top-down.
00:30What were your immediate takeaways from this game?
00:33Well, again, I just believe that.
00:35Seattle was the more physical football team.
00:37And I'll just throw this out there.
00:40You know, in the middle part of the season, the mantra and the hype surrounding.
00:45the LA Rams was that not only did they have an elite offense.
00:50with Matt Stafford, they had one of the top defenses in the NFC.
00:53And I think they've been completely...
00:55They've been completely exposed now in the back end of the season.
00:58Their secondary has gotten abused.
01:00by multiple teams, including the win that they got over Detroit.
01:03I think that really...
01:05They reported that defense taking a turn for the worse.
01:08And they were exposed by Sam...
01:10Darnold in Seattle.
01:11And when you had the success early on in the first quarter of...
01:15Kenneth Walker, he was ripping off 10 and 15-yard runs.
01:18That really set the...
01:20mindset for Seattle.
01:21But again, when you look at the game play out and, you know, talk...
01:25Tom Brady, he was double-talking yesterday.
01:27I love Tom Brady with the seven Super Bowls.
01:30But when Stafford and the team had the football, okay, up 13 to 10, what about a minute...
01:3540 left and timeouts in their back pocket on their own 30-yard line, he was...
01:40He was saying you don't get aggressive until the 50-yard line.
01:43That's completely false.
01:44When you have a...
01:45Superman, like Matt Stafford, it wasn't...
01:47You weren't up 14 or 17 points in the first...
01:50half, you were only up three.
01:51You gave the football with short to intermediate throws.
01:55They went to the flat.
01:56That was not the way to attack Seattle at that particular time.
02:00That's where they were playing.
02:01They didn't attack the team to get aggressive.
02:04And they gave...
02:05Dan Donald, the football back, and he made him pay with the touchdown for JSN, which really...
02:10switched the momentum that was on McVeigh, that was on the coaching staff, and...
02:15And I'll just say this, a testament to Mike McDonald, I didn't think he'd be this good...
02:20with this team, but he's got a quarterback that potentially could just erase all the negative...
02:25activity with a Super Bowl win, and they stepped up against the win, the home win against the Rams.
02:30Certainly a great performance from Seattle, as they pushed...
02:35towards the Super Bowl, we'll, of course, break down all the options that they have in offense, but when it comes to...
02:40The Rams specifically, Joe, you know, I think they could, quote-unquote, run it back next...
02:45year with the offense, at least, but the defense, to me, needs the most work also with...
02:50With an aging Devontae, I think they need another option in the passing game.
02:53Do you think that the defense...
02:55and at least a secondary or tertiary option should be their main focus in the offseason?
03:00Yeah, I mean, they're set at running back, right, with Blake Horm and Kyron Williams, they have...
03:05basically four tight ends, including Davis Allen, and they're all young for the most...
03:10for the most part, yeah, they need a slot-wide receiver that potentially could take the top...
03:15that's a burner.
03:16I'm not talking about just a guy that runs a 4-6 in a position...
03:20possession type of receiver.
03:21I am talking about elite speed, like Shahid, but back...
03:25They don't utilize Shahid enough, he got 51 yards in that win against the...
03:30the Rams, but a guy that can burn, maybe go...
03:33Jeremiah Smith, you want to take...
03:35Jeremiah Smith, if he's available in the draft, everybody's hyping up...
03:38Cornell Tate, if Smith...
03:40is there, it would be a perfect option to go, obviously, with Puka.
03:44That's what they need.
03:45wysping in that offense.
03:46I love you.
03:47Let me just talk to you about Bob whether or not you're going...
03:49escuching.
03:50Just...
