00:00Okay, next game, 49ers-Rams, which is Friday in Australia, Thursday here in the United States.
00:07Like I said, Kyle Shanahan got it mixed up, but I get it.
00:10I'd probably do the same thing.
00:12So, obviously, big implications here.
00:14This is the NFC West.
00:15Every game kind of matters in that division.
00:17I know that you and I both have the Rams winning that division.
00:19You have them winning by a landslide.
00:22But, again, still a lot of implications here.
00:25Aaron Donald is not playing in this one.
00:27They just announced that on Tuesday that Aaron Donald will be ramping up.
00:31He is not playing in week one, which I don't really mind.
00:33They still have Myles Garrett and the rest of the crew.
00:35So, John, your thoughts on 49ers-Rams.
00:38Who do you have?
00:39Do you have this in a blowout or do you just have this in regular win?
00:43What do you got?
00:44No one is shocked that I'm going to pick the Rams to win this game.
00:49No one is.
00:50The fact that they're – okay, the fact that Myles Garrett is figuring out how to tackle harder,
00:54that's bad for everybody else.
00:56It's true.
00:57What do you mean he's learning how to hit better?
01:00Huh?
01:01Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:03We're going to see what this line looks like without Aaron Donald in it.
01:08And when it dominates, we'll now see how and why we are so excited for Aaron Donald to join this
01:16front four.
01:17Because I think what they're going to do is show people, yes, Aaron Donald is joining us,
01:23but we got Myles Garrett.
01:29And, again, like it's not just Myles Garrett.
01:31We have to remember this.
01:33The Rams line is still really good without Myles Garrett.
01:37Like it was still –
01:38So you add Myles Garrett to the Kobe Turners, the Byron Youngs of the world, the Braden Fisks of the
01:42world without Aaron Donald.
01:44It's still –
01:44Correct.
01:45Very good.
01:46It's still – by the way, it's still the best front four in football without Aaron Donald active in the
01:54situation.
01:55Because you added Myles Garrett, the all-time single-season sack leader.
02:02Okay, so I have Ram – but I have the Rams by 10.
02:06I think that the Rams will win, but I always think – listen, I've been watching Rams Niners for a
02:11long time.
02:11These games are usually close.
02:13Now, they did have one blowout last year, but these games are usually close, and we'll see about the travel.
02:17But I got the Rams by 10.
02:20That's – ooh, now we're getting into – ooh, I'm going to give this – I'm going to – a
02:2914-point win by the Rams, a two-touchdown win.
02:32Again, you know what we haven't talked about at all?
02:35What's that?
02:35The 49ers defense.
02:37Not very good.
02:39We've talked about Christian McCaffrey.
02:41We've talked about Mike Evans being hurt.
02:43We've talked about George Kittle.
02:45Is he or is he okay?
02:47Mike Shanahan didn't know.
02:49So they've got a lot of questions on defense, and the last thing you want on defense coming to you
02:54in game one is the team that led the league in scoring last year.
02:59So I'm expecting the Rams to be able to put up points.
03:02Can the 49ers match that speed?
03:04Can they match that tempo of scoring against this defense who is completely revamped in what I'm calling, once Aaron
03:11Donald really gets into the mix, statistically will be one of the best defenses we've ever seen.
