00:00I think, like, obviously, last week was a good week because they were able to stick with it.
00:03They had, like, 26 carries, something like that.
00:06They had a couple explosive runs.
00:08When I watch it on the All-22, there is some detail.
00:11Guys still feel each other out a little bit, which makes sense because, again,
00:14like, Patrick's new, Coleman's playing a new spot.
00:16They're working through some stuff.
00:17I mean, hell, they just signed Eckler in week four.
00:19And so there's some nuance there that isn't quite there.
00:24Now, it's great that they're able to get explosive runs, kind of take a step forward.
00:27I think that's super important.
00:29Versus the Rams, I think that front's good.
00:31I think it's underrated.
00:32I think they want to be in dime.
00:33They want to be a little bit lighter.
00:35But they've got, like, Cam Curl and some of these hybrid defenders that are really good at fit and runs,
00:39good blitzers.
00:41Aaron Donald, I think, is probably playing better against the run than is a pass rusher right now.
00:44So they're very disruptive.
00:45They're undersized.
00:46But, like, because of the movement and because of how they have the personnel, it makes it hard to target.
00:51So I think you want to lean into that, kind of say, hey, we're going to own this,
00:55because I don't think you want to throw the football a ton versus the Rams.
00:58Because of how they play their coverage, they're really fast.
01:01They're really confident.
01:02Trek McDuffie is a beast.
01:04Like, they just have good pieces in the back end.
01:05Gosh, I almost forget they traded for him.
01:07I know.
01:07Isn't that crazy?
01:08And so, yeah, so, like, the physicality, I think you really want to lean into the physical element of this
01:12game.
01:12And the other thing, I think you can, because I don't think the Rams are going to put up 40
01:16points.
01:17I think it's going to be like a 24-17 type of game.
01:20And if you can kind of find a wrinkle in the run game, get a couple explosive runs,
01:25deleverage Jaden versus this really dynamic secondary, I think that's going to bode well for you.
01:29Great.
