00:00All right, let's make sure we make time for this.
00:02Bold predictions for the Burgundy and Gold this weekend.
00:06Big game.
00:07They can get a win here.
00:08Everything gets a lot more interesting.
00:10We'll start in the aquarium.
00:12Haven't heard from Luigi today.
00:13Luigi, you have a bold prediction for this Commander's Rams game.
00:19I'm going to go Diggs, two touchdowns.
00:22Diggs, two putties.
00:24I like that.
00:24Probably get rich.
00:25You bet that one.
00:26Yeah, yeah.
00:26I wonder if our friend Keith Cohen is going to have a bet on Puka to score twice.
00:32I know when JSN came to town, he had that.
00:35Stallion, bold predictions.
00:38My bold prediction is Antonio Williams goes for 100 yards in a tutty.
00:44I think he's going to be the open guy this game.
00:46I think they really take advantage of that.
00:48So I got my guy, A-Will.
00:51Okay, I like that.
00:53Jeffrey, bold predictions.
00:56The Commander's defense will force two turnovers.
00:59I don't know how it's going to happen, but they will force two turnovers to win the game by two
01:04touchdowns.
01:04You got them winning by two.
01:06Yes.
01:07Jeff getting saucy there.
01:09Wow, Jeff getting saucy.
01:11Yeah, saucy.
01:13I don't know how bold this is.
01:16The Rams have rushed for over 100 yards in every game they've played, except Buffalo.
01:23So seven out of eight games, they've run the ball really well.
01:26They're coming off games against the Raiders.
01:28They went for almost 200 on the ground.
01:30Wow.
01:31Against the Chargers, they went for 130 on the ground.
01:33I'm sorry, in six of eight games.
01:35They also didn't quite get to 100 against the Cardinals.
01:38I think Washington holds them below their season average of rushing yards.
01:45The Rams come into this game really, really good running the football.
01:49And I think the Commanders, I think their ability, the Rams come in averaging 125.5 yards per game on
01:58the ground.
01:58I think Washington keeps them below that number.
02:01And I won't be shocked if Washington keeps them below 100.
02:05All right.
02:05That's my prediction.
02:07Well, my prediction is Washington going to rush for over 150 against them.
02:12They are giving up on the ground.
02:16I mean, defensively, they've been quite good against the rush.
02:20They rank as – actually, no, it's the past defense that's really carried them.
02:26They're past defense fourth in the NFL.
02:28They're rushing defense 14th in the NFL.
02:31So maybe there's a crack in that armor.
02:33B, if you like them to get the ground game going, who is it?
02:39Who is it?
02:39Who's the back?
02:40I think it's going to be a combination of it.
02:42It's not going to be one back.
02:43I think it's going to be a combination of the – I think also little man's going to get in
02:46there,
02:46Robin Henry.
02:47He's going to get in.
02:48Jaden's going to have some rushing in there.
02:51So I think it's going to be a combination of the three backs and the quarterback.
02:54How much can you trust a young rookie running back that was here for camp,
02:59but then he's been in Seattle the last two months?
03:01Like how much can you trust, insert him in the lineup, he knows the offense,
03:05and just assume that's all going to go seamless?
03:08Well, I think the main thing you worry about him in ball security.
03:12One thing about him, he knows how to run a football.
03:15He's already shown that.
03:16So it won't be a problem.
03:18If they just give him some holes, he'll find them.
03:22I still worry about the run game.
03:25I like that you feel confident in it.
03:27I think Aaron Donald is still a big factor in the run game,
03:31although I liked what we saw against Philly, that there was more outside stretch plays.
03:36One prediction – I'm not making this as a prediction,
03:39but one thing I'd love to see, play action under center.
03:42We heard so much about it.
03:45Yeah, we've seen stuff happen from that, Jaden.
03:47You've got to adjust your plan sometimes.
03:49I've seen two times where the quarterback, Dan, was stepped on and almost on the ground.
03:54I might want to pull him off of that.
03:56Did you notice – now, the coaches all said this was not the case,
04:01but I thought it sure looked like against the Eagles,
04:04the offensive line was taking wider splits than they had been earlier in the season.
04:09Did you notice that at all?
04:10Yeah, I did.
04:11It looked like it.
04:11And I heard when Nicky asked and Dan said no comment,
04:16he kind of, in a sense, was letting you know something happened
04:19and we don't want you to be saying it to everybody.
04:22But if you have to do all of that, something wrong with the person.
04:28They keep stepping on their foot.
04:30I mean, I don't – this is – I've been trying to figure it out.
04:33Why do you feel you've got to –
04:35Move in.
04:36Step.
04:37I mean, damn, only time I've ever seen that step is on a field goal.
04:41Snap.
04:42When they step inside to try to, you know, secure that.
04:45But I've never seen that before.
04:47I mean, especially at the guard position, you can't get beat inside.
04:50But that generally shouldn't require stepping inside.
04:54Stepping laterally towards the center.
04:57It's weird.
05:01How about this one?
05:03Who has the better game Sunday, Matt Stafford or Jaden Daniels?
05:11Better game.
05:12Matt or Jaden.
05:15If we win the game, Jaden's going to have to have the better game.
05:18Agreed.
05:18Yeah.
05:19Like, the Rams can win.
05:21And that doesn't have to just be passing through the air.
05:24Right.
05:24Because Jaden better game could be 200 yards passing, 75 or 50 yards rushing.
05:30The Giants game.
05:30Yeah.
05:32The Rams can win this game with a B minus C plus from Stafford.
05:37They can.
05:37They just have that much talent on the field.
05:39They might be able to run the ball.
05:40Their defense might shut Washington down.
05:42Washington needs an A game from Jaden to win.
05:47That's more pressure on Jaden, but that's just –
05:49That's the reality of the situation.
05:50See, you say on Jaden, I think they need a damn A game from the damn offensive line.
05:54I think they need an A game from everybody.
05:57Yeah.
05:57Yeah, but if you get an A game from the offensive line, you get a B plus game from the
06:02offensive
06:02line.
06:02Jaden's going to get you an A plus game.
06:04But when the offensive line gives you those C's and those D minuses and C minuses and stuff
06:09like that, D plus, hard as hell to get him to get your A. He'll get your B, B plus.
06:14But they're going to have to give him a little bit more to help him out.
06:17Two-part question I'll also answer.
06:19Is Miles Garrett playing?
06:21How much of an impact do you think he makes?
06:23I think he's playing.
06:24I think, yes, he's going to play.
06:25And I think, naturally, he'll make an impact because people normally will cater to him,
06:31like block towards him, which opens up stuff for other people.
06:34But I think if he comes back, he hasn't been really going full goal and he hasn't been out
06:39there.
06:42Somebody's got to have some tenaciousness in them and say, we're going to see if you're
06:46supposed to be out here, damn it.
06:48You know what I mean?
06:49Yeah.
06:50Listen, you've got to, every once in a while, put somebody to the test.
06:54Find out if they really, are they ready to be out there just yet?
06:58Byron Young leads the Rams with four and a half sacks through eight games.
07:02Miles Garrett, only suited up for the Australia game, really did not impact that game.
07:10I have a feeling Garrett plays and Garrett, I agree with you on the way he can impact
07:17the game indirectly.
07:18I think he makes a direct impact in this game.
07:22It's going to be interesting.
07:24There's a reason they play the games.
07:25It's weird that the line has gone down.
07:27I don't know if you noticed that.
07:28It was five and a half for most of the week.
07:30Now Garrett's back and it's four and a half.
07:33Something that makes you notice.
07:35I don't know how they make those determinations.
07:38It's also interesting to me that Quinn spoke, I don't know, about an hour ago and said,
07:43yeah, nothing finalized yet with Trey Burks and De'Ami Brown.
07:46Adam Peters this morning, speaking with the junkies, said it doesn't look good for De'Ami
07:49Brown.
07:49Last question for Beamage.
07:51I think the questions are better when I start asking them.
07:55Dan Quinn doesn't rule anybody out in his Friday presser where he usually rules people
08:01out.
08:02Because they're playing a West Coast team and just because of time differences, the Rams
08:07final injury report probably won't come out and get released till 6, 7 p.m. tonight on
08:14the East Coast.
08:15You think there's a bit of gamesmanship by DQ just holding his cards back because he knows
08:19the Rams cards won't be shown until much later in the day.
08:21Could be.
08:21I kind of do.
08:22Yeah, could be.
08:23I don't blame him for it.
08:25Like, that's the principles of time.
08:30Like, he's got time because it's 8 a.m. or whatever the hell time it is.
08:3411 a.m. there.
08:35So, we'll find out.
08:37You are listening to Beamage and Finley.
08:39Got to settle up the week's bets when we return.
08:41Let's get it.
