Speaker 1 (00:06):
Good to see everyone. Welcome back to Between the Horns.
A special schedule release addition, as always presented by your
Southern California. I tell you to dealers, Maurice Jones, Drew
DeMarco Farr, I'm JB. Long already taking grief from our
fantastic studio crew. They know that this is more important
and more enjoyable than my birthday, Christmas all tied up
in one by. Now you've seen the RAMS schedule, let
(00:28):
us know what you think. At least I thought everybody
had seen it. Maurice hadn't seen it.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Yeah, I can't say I've seen other people's schedule. I
had to sign an NBA for my other job. Okay,
so I've seen glimpses of things. But I always like
to be surprised for this because it's a natural, like,
oh wow, this is how we're going to do this.
You know.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
I like that here you rubbed off on me this
schedule release. It became a big deal for me.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Isn't it nice to know.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
A deal? Where are we going to December? Is all
I wanted to know.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
But see, you're in the cold already, like we're in Jacksonville.
So the first thing I looked at was like November December,
Oh Buffalo, Ah.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Thank you good. But now I get it. It makes sense.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Speaking of Jacksonville, one thing you did know it had
to cross your radar. It did is the International Series
a trip to London right before the Rams by to
face the Jacksonville Jaguars. My question for you is, who
will you be working for that weekend?
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Like, yeah, can you get it that?
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Can you get the Rams, the Jags and the league
to pay you that?
Speaker 5 (01:33):
You know we're working on that right now.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
It is.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
It's gonna be a tough one. My age is gonna
have to do a wonderful job. But uh, there's a
there's an opportunity there, there's a possibility.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
For three Wow, do we get a kick a part
of it? You're more than welcome to come around.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
I'll do it out there.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Tomasoon geat it's week seven, right, week seven, that's uh,
mid October. You would think Travis Hunter is going to
be fully integrated in what they're doing. I can't wait
to see that guy up close. But in that setting,
going to London always fun. Every jersey is represented. It
seems like a bowl game in the middle of a season.
I love going over there to watch football and watch
(02:11):
Rams football, but that part of it, to see Travis
Hunter there in that environment, I can't wait for it.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
It's a lot different than when the last time we went.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Now people actually have teams and those teams are supported
in those in said games. Right, so you're gonna see
a ton of Jags. We probably see a lot of Rams.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
There's like I've been to the Vikings Jets when last
year literally it was half Bikings half Jets. It was insane,
like you didn't see any other jersey. It was like
Vikings Jets, Like, oh, this is They're starting to kind
of people are starting to find their team and their
niche and go. And I think it's also what's awesome
about it is you you kind of get to see
(02:47):
Rams two point zero right in London, which is exciting
the way they're building their roster, their their coaches, have
their front office.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Oh you're talking about the James Gladstone Ja Nibow.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
Oh yes, all right, yeah, Jake Tenny. I missed that guy,
me too.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Yeah great, Yeah, before I forget your jersey is still
the most popular at Wembley. Right, We're still going to
see the most.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Yeah, I mean Travis Hunter.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
You know in my household, Travis Hunters jumped me.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
So we'll figure it out.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Well, we'll see if we find a thirty two there,
we'll make sure we hold that person in high regard.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
You'll hear me say this a couple of times throughout
the show. The rams dot com is where you want
to be today for the schedule, release all the content,
to see it laid out, and to make sure that
you get your tickets to Sofi Stadium. I'll remind you
throughout the show, but the Rams dot com can't miss it.
The Rams dot Com Slash ti x for single game tickets,
Slash twenty twenty five Slash tickets, everything you need is
right there. Here's what I thought we would do in
(03:39):
terms of structure, and feel free to ignore me completely
and ticket whatever direction you want. But I thought we
could go through like things we like about the schedule,
things that we're a little wary of, don't love, and
then the big question that I want to get to,
and maybe we can just start with it because it's
chronological too, is can the Rams start faster? Can they
start stronger?
Speaker 4 (03:57):
This year?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
The last two seasons have been thrilling, right, they stumbled
a three and six and one and four and they
hit their by at three games under five hundred. That
was a lot of fun to see them go through
those furious.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Rallies, was it was it though? It was it was.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Shaved years off, no question. But the second half we're thrilling.
But there's a reason why they're historic and in some
ways unprecinged because that's not a blueprint for success. So
when you look at the top half of this schedule,
can you see a path of five and two or
six and one coming back from London?
Speaker 4 (04:26):
H okay? So you open with the Texans, then you
got the Titans.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
I mean two teams that really don't have I guess
the marquee value, but I mean good.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Enough teams to Texans are good.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
They can come hit you, absolutely, but it's a good
way to start. And then you go into at Eagles.
That's so I think you have to start faster than
what you've started in the last couple of seasons based
on what you have.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
So let's hope and I'm with you.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
It was fun watching those furious rallies because, like you said, man,
if you're stuck in the middle of the ocean. When
you see that relief boat coming, you're happy. So how
it started, how it ended, I love how it ended.
But if you can just bottle that what you did
in Philadelphia and start this season as game twenty one
and enter that the beginning of this schedule, you can
hit the ground running against the Eagles and everyone else.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
You have to play early.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Yeah, I think when you talk, game one is the
most important, right, because you're one hundred and sixteen days, right,
one hundred and sixteen days. And then think about it
is you have a young quarterback I'm talking about the
Texans here, who struggled as a sophomore, right, he had
the sophomore slump, right, and so how does he bounce back, right?
How do you help him bounce back or does he
bounce back against I think the first part and the
(05:29):
second part of that is their defense is really good.
I mean, they have some really good pass rush, They
have two edge guys that can get after the quarterback.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
They stop the robbiets here.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Right, So you have to make sure that you start
fast in that aspect first winning Week one, and then
we can worry about the others. Always have a rookie
quarterback and then we go to Philly. But Week one,
I think to me is normally you could be like ah, whatever,
like blast. Couple year has been a divisional games, just
like ah, you gotta win those. But this one's a
very important game. Is getting right on the right track against.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
The twenty three rookies of the year against the should
have been twenty twenty three rookies of the year. I
remember two things from Houston last summer. One, how sweaty
you and I were, and like MGD said, how impressive
that defensive roster in particular was that that made an
impression on Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Absolutely, That's why I'm happy it's here. And like you said,
it's it's almost like you would start the old school
college schedule. I mean, one that you can win, one
that's probably over your head, and one that's kind of
evenly matched. This is a great way to start the season.
If you ask me for the Rams, you're.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Gonna see Cam Orb's home debut in Nashville. And even
though I cautioned this by saying it didn't go the
Rams way in Chicago against Caleb Williams, Generally you want
to face rookie quarterbacks in September. That should bode well
for the Rams odds of winning that game. Philly and
Baltimore the big ones. I think you circled them already.
How about the fact that both of those are ten
am regional kickoffs? Did that get your attention at all?
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Yuh?
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I wonder if they can flex it, but I know
they kind of put a role and they can flex games.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Yeah, Ravens and Rams start hot. You could see that
game from Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
But it's funny because like the Rams do well at
ten ams. So maybe someone, maybe someone was like, hey, you.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Know what I thought of cold, You're our shirtless heckler
from Lincoln Financial.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Filh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
I mean he's still gonna be ready, but he's gonna
have to start like five am to be as ready
as in January.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Yeah, Well he had to get ready though because it
was a little pretty chilly out there. But it's gonna
be a little warmer to see if he makes it
to the third quarter.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
How about the AFC South. Three out of four to
start in that crossover division and all four before the bye,
You're gonna know whether or not you're good enough to
win that division before you compete for your own.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Well. I love the fact that you you you kind
of start with some young quarterbacks early on, uh, Anthony
Richardson or Daniel Jones, and that that cold game is
gonna be huge. It's not in India, it's here in
la which is nice to get that. And then obviously,
you know, we talked about the Jags.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
A little bit.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
But I think if you're if you're two and.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Oh in that AFC South and you get to to London,
you should be you should be comfortable. And I about
another young quarterback and the young system being built that
you can probably take advantage of.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
You said you looked at December right for weather games,
no real weather concerns for the Rams. London and Seattle
could always be cold and that's just how it is.
But otherwise a lot of indoor environments and I don't
think it'll be snowing in Philadelphia in September. I think
you're in the clear there.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Hopefully you never know. Please.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Some other things that I like, only two short weeks, right,
two Thursday night games on the schedule like last year,
but the Rams are home on Sunday before Thursday night football, right,
so that you don't have to leave the time zone
either for either of those Thursday night games, So I
think that's advantageous. You hope that is, yeah, And then
you catch many byes on the other side of those
Thursday night games, and those mini byes lead to extra
(08:46):
prep for the trip to face the Ravens and then
late in the year what could be a colossal clash
with Raheem Morris and the Falcons. Think about how much
could be on the line on that Monday night football.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
It could be a lot.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
I like where that Ravens game sits, it's kind of
like you get the break before and then you get
the bye week coming soon.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
So I mean you could really just.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Like you think about it, blow it out and then
get to your bye week a double bye so to speak,
and kind of rest up, because I think that's the
one thing besides looking at December, that's what every player does.
Where you're gonna be when it's cold, When is the
bye week and when do you have those breaks? And
if you have that built in double by, like you
have a chance to do certain things defensively, offensively, and say,
(09:27):
if something happens we get banged up, we have two
weeks basically or ten extra days to rest up. So
I like where that Ravens game sits, and then I
like where the buy sits right after.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
It's right in the middle of the schedule.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Right then.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
That's the nice byproduct of going to London is you
get the option to have that break, that open date
and that bye and then the New Orleans game that
follows it that leads you into the trade deadline. And
we always watch the RAM during the trade deadline because
they've done some things over the year and with where
they are in the evolution of this roster and the
fact that they hold an extra first round pick, that
(09:58):
trip to London, the bye where it is, the home
date with New Orleans all before the trade deadline, and
a trip to San Francisco. Wow, what a fascinating stretch
of weeks that could be.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Do you remember Sean having that interview about having that
extra first rounder and he kind of smirked.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
I feel like he kind of knew that all this
was going to happen at this point, Like, Okay, we
depending on how we play, we can go out and
get whoever we want to help us.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
On this run.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
And again, you were talking about starting fast if you
can get out of that for those first seven games
with a positive four and three or five and two,
do you know that second that run is coming? And
that's when this team starts to click. And so to
have that that that piece, that ability to go out
and trade for someone and then either like play the
Saints or didn't go to San franch So how do
you want to do it?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
I remember a few years back a couple high profile
players made their Rams debut in Santa Clair against I
don't think the outcome was what the Rams wanted that night,
but the end of that story was good as I.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Okay, yeah, I think that it was with the outcome
we wanted, didn't we wanted?
Speaker 5 (10:57):
Sure?
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Who said that? Okay?
Speaker 1 (10:59):
I want to apologize to everyone who's been waiting for
Rams Thanksgiving Day for a long long time. I know
the appetite is out there and it will happen, but
the NFL's longest Thanksgiving Droute continues, how are you guys
feeling about dodging all of the holiday games?
Speaker 4 (11:15):
I'm okay with it. Good on the field, I'm okay
with it. I mean, did you want to play on Thanksgiving?
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Now? I'm a football fan. Even when I played, I
used to watch on things. We'd practice early in the
morning and head home and I head home the food
to be, then the TV beyond we'd be watching games.
That's what you want to do.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
I was one of the Turkey Leg though, come on,
I would love for the Turkey Leg be fun.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
But back in the day before they started doing triple headers,
when we were playing, you have to go to you
You've had to go to Dallas or.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
To Detroit right as far from Jackson someday fun.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Yeah, last year there was a possibility because of the
at Detroit on the schedule without the Lions or the
Cowboys hosting the Rams. This year it was it was
slim odds. I think that eleven day break around Christmas
is kind of key huge. I mean not just for
moms and day ads, but in terms of where the
RAMS could be when you play what at Seattle and
then get an extra mini buy in there before the
(12:08):
closing stretch at Atlanta and then how about Arizona? Is
the league telling us something about the Rams and the
Cardinals that they play twice in December January? Like I
tend to look, where are the Niners games? They're both
done by week ten? Where the other division games. They're
setting up for finales against Arizona in La Well.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
I think we talked about it last year. Arizona really
has kind of caught some interest in how they've changed.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
They've evolved in.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
To being more of a power team, and they've played
really well early in the year and they kind of
fall off a little bit at the end. But I
think that the Cardinals have done a great job of really.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Yeah, that's why it's crazy to put him at the end,
because usually that's where I guess Kyler starts to fizzle
out a little bit. But maybe he's changed, or maybe
they're going to be different. Who knows, but you might
be onto something there.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
I don't think he fizzled against the Rams. Training rides
at ear holes I remember. But other than that, it
was pretty good game. Some things that I don't love.
Four road back to backs.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Got it's hard.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Look, a McVeigh team travels well, so they can handle
stuff on the road.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
That's a hard one though.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
More miles than any NFC team. That was going to
be the case anyways. And then you add London in there.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Yeah, you're heading east a lot, but I mean that
comes that that that all tells me, and I believe
the way that Shawn structed his practices and how the
staff is built off of like sleep and stretching and
all that you could handle. That we did that when
I was with the Raiders. I was done by week ten.
Let's sit me out, put me put your on the shelf.
(13:38):
Really wow, we had went to in the first like
eight weeks. We had went to the East Coast twice
and to London and back, and then had to double
back and go and we had to play. We played
the Rams, or we played the Rams. That's when you
guys beat U fifty two.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Oh my god, yes, the blowout game. I remember that.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Yeah, that was that was that. I remember waking up.
This is how tired I was due. It was a
little size for I remember waking up. It was like
it's supposed to be like like a seven o'clock wig
up call. I slept in my alarm and I almost
missed the bus. Exhausted. We played at noon. Unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
So you're suggesting the Rams stay in the Baltimore area
and prepare for London so as not to play.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
Or they made his flight to London.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Yeah, right, But what I do believe is that they're
better prepared than we were.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Then they do it differently. I think that's been one
of the secret ingredients to the success in the Sean
McVay era, as how well they play in that ten
am window, and the way that Reggie Scott and everybody
here has kind of calibrated their trips to Land Saturday
night back time everything Land, play and get home. And
so I think there's a little bit of a chip
on the shoulder to be had when you see four
(14:44):
ten am kickoffs against good opponents, yes, and only four
primetime assignments. I've got some more context on that in
a second, but I think you could take that personally
if you were so inclined. However, as many miles as
the Rams are going to travel, you got to spin
it to the positive, which is they're to be getting
home at some decent hours on Sunday nights after Philadelphia,
(15:05):
after Charlotte, and spending your week around is equally important
in terms of getting ready for that next Sunday.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
I like playing in the morning. I do like to
get up and go and get up and go. Let's
just go. I hate waiting around and thinking about the game.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Well, let's you Philly as an example, Right, you're gonna
be home from Philly at a normal hour on Sunday night.
MJD might even be with Chris Rose at the at
the network at the end.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
It possibly.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Maybe that's kind of what they were thinking that maybe
that's what they were thinking, maybe the NFL.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
If you put that on Sunday Night football instead, then
the Rams are getting home at four in the morning
on Monday, getting set for the week ahead. So again,
you can only deal the car, you can only play
the cards you're dealt. And I think this is overall fair,
even though, yeah, what I'd like to see more Sunday
night football on the schedule, sure, But I will point
out too that Game of the Week window that one
(15:52):
twenty five Pacific four twenty five Eastern, that's a featured
window like Fox and CBS, they played big money to
have have that on a national broadcast, and the Rams
have four of those two. So if Tom Brady and
Tony Romore are calling your games, you're doing something right.
And the Rams are selected for four of those.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
That's why I like the schedule release.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
This is when that queasiness starts, where it starts to
get serious, where you know when and where and all
that sort of stuff, and then you start worrying about
the ifs and wins and who you have. So this
this will be fun and look, the more eyeballs on
the product, the better. But I do think that the
way the team is constructed now, I think they're prepared
for this, to travel, to play primetime games, to play
games on different continents with the guys you have and
(16:32):
the team makeup you have. So I like the way
this rolls out as a schedule. Some things you don't like.
But if you want to talk about a team that's
going to roll into the playoffs and win some meaningful
games in December, this could be that schedule.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Were you surprised the Cooper Cup Homecoming is a normal
Sunday one o'clock kickoff in a regional window.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
When that game by Sea week eleven, Week eleven, and
that's there here right.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
So far so Cooper comes to So if I before
the Rams go to Loomenfield in Seattle, I like that,
But I thought that game had Week one potential. Yeah,
they didn't put it there. They didn't put it in
any Island game. It's just part of the schedule.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
I'm thinking if you didn't do it early, then I
mean you kind of factor in is he gonna be
there later? So Cooper Cup because if he's not, if
he has another injury situation in Seattle and he's not
in the game, then you might have just wasted a window.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
So I get it. It makes sense. Maybe it just
makes sense for us here. That's gonna be huge to
see him in a different uniform.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
But I can understand if you didn't do it week one,
that might have been your window there for that.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
That's gonna be tough, man. That's gonna be a hard day.
Oh yeah, it's gonna be a hard day.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
So let's let's keep it kicking the can down the road.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
Wait and.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Kicks your butt if you do want to see that
game at Sofi Stadium the Triple Crown winners return. Uh,
it is the Rams dot Com for your tickets, individuals
in season tickets.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
When he's when he's announced, I'll be standing up and
then what are you gonna do? That's it.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
He's the opponent after that, But I'll stand up give
them a problem. That's why I love.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
You, because you could you could turn it on. Yeah,
I'm gonna be sad the whole game. Yeah, because it's
like we got to get you, and we don't want
to get you, but we gotta get you.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
After that, you're the opponent, y, Yes, and watch them
on third down.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Right the game you are looking forward to most.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
You want to go I got two go ahead?
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Well, of course, Philly, because you you you took them
to get the last few plays and you were that close.
And even the Eagle said that was their toughest opponent.
That was the team they worried about the most. So
you were that close there. And of course, uh, anybody
h that's been around here for a while, you're gonna
have that Lions game Circle. It ain't over yet, and
(18:43):
I hope Higbee is healthy for that game. There's a
lot of get back in that game. There's a lot
of storylines there. So that game is always circle. The
one I'm dreading the most is Baltimore. Yeah, Balti.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
It's hard to get to.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
It's AFC North Ball, everything's outdoors, it's it's Lamar, it's
everything against them though last time at least, Yeah, but
they test you in all three phases. Remember how that
last game ended on a punt return as a heartbreaker,
So that one always. Oh but the Lions, Yes, Philadelphia absolutely.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
I was having to have the jag circles, that's just
an easy one, but I had the Lions. I had
the Lions circle just because of you know, I felt
like the Rams in week one really had an opportunity
to go out there and win that one. But like
your whole line gets taken out in that first game.
It's kind of like a but then we saw what
happened to Detroit later on, right who was a contender,
and then they got all banged up. So hopefully both
(19:36):
teams are healthy playing you get a really good game,
and then for.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Me, I would have liked that Lions game early it's
I'm fine with where it is. Complaints, but because of
the new coordinators I could have, I guess made the
case like while they get their sea legs, maybe try
and jump them. But you could spend it the other
way too, which is who knows what they're throwing out
their scheme wise, I don't think it's gonna be too different,
(19:59):
but you'll have a lot inventory.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
And that's going to be a playoff game, right, That's
going to be a contending game of you two teams
battling for position you hope in the playoffs at that time.
And another one for me is always you know again
being a guy from the bey Ear. I love whenever
we go to San Francisco.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
It's just the at San Francisco.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Yeah, I don't want it.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Here like here, it's like they I want to go
up north.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
The one I'm looking forward to most is is week five,
Thursday night football against the forty nine ers. It's it's
tough every year to knock that one off the pedestal.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Yeah, I want to go up there though, because you know,
I remember this last Thursday we went up there. It
was at San Francisco. It was raining. We won twelve
to six. The amount of trash talk that I have
on the way home is like unbearable, like people, and
you know, I'm a proud RAMS fan. I rock my
stuff and I get a button. Everyone's just chirping at me.
And so when that happens, it's just like here I am.
(20:49):
So anytime you can win up there, oh my gosh,
I always look for that one.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
I just love the escalator.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
I was just about to say the escalators working.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Yeah, absolutely, well, it's.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Nice to know, right and in the meantime, there's so
much look forward to ot as will have.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Can we talk about what we don't like on the schedule?
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Yeah? Why do we always have to.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Go somewhere the third preseason game? Why can't we just
get at home?
Speaker 1 (21:12):
We got to check in with Andrew Siciliano.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
And then we can play the Chargers here and if
we're solid, we're good talking.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
About preseason I am, because that's a lot of travel.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Yeah, we didn't give the preseason schedule enough run here, Cowboys,
Chargers at How about if I take you to Maui
to make up for it?
Speaker 4 (21:30):
There you go. Okay, that's a whole other ordeal we.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
Have to talk about.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
How about mandatory mini camp in MAUI? Think back, think
back to your player self. How would that?
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Oh my god, bro, we're not getting much done. I'll
tell you that.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
No, not done.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
We're not getting much done.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Yeah, get all the work done in the morning the beach.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Yeah, one more time. The rams dot com for all
your schedule eleas content. Check out all the great work
that social has done. Get your tickets for single game
and all twenty twenty five season long. It's nice to
know where we're gonna be and the guys I'm gonuld
be doing it with. We'll see about MJD in London.
We might have to share.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Oh yeah, but.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
So working on it.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
Did you talk about preseason? Unreal?
Speaker 5 (22:14):
Yes, preseason the most important season. It's the closest thing.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
I had like one hundred and sixteen days to see
j Stroud and now I got to back that out.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
We gotta go see your door. We gotta figure out
if he's winning the job or not. Right, the Chargers
with Nausey Harris, I mean we.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Got going on. That's gonna be wild.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Yes, and then the Cowboys with George Pickens start this
thing off.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Anything else.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
I feel like I got you off there.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
No, No, you're good.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
I'm sorry, I'm getting like the rat.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
It's all good. Sorry, yes, sir, Okay.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
For MJD, for THEMRCO far looking forward to another lap
through between the Horns with you. Enjoy the schedule. We
cannot wait to reconnect. As always, BTh is presented by
your Southern California to the Deal
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Yah
Good to see everyone. Welcome back to Between the Horns.
A special schedule release addition, as always presented by your
Southern California. I tell you to dealers, Maurice Jones, Drew
DeMarco Farr, I'm JB. Long already taking grief from our
fantastic studio crew. They know that this is more important
and more enjoyable than my birthday, Christmas all tied up
in one by. Now you've seen the RAMS schedule, let
(00:28):
us know what you think. At least I thought everybody
had seen it. Maurice hadn't seen it.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Yeah, I can't say I've seen other people's schedule. I
had to sign an NBA for my other job. Okay,
so I've seen glimpses of things. But I always like
to be surprised for this because it's a natural, like,
oh wow, this is how we're going to do this.
You know.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
I like that here you rubbed off on me this
schedule release. It became a big deal for me.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Isn't it nice to know.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
A deal? Where are we going to December? Is all
I wanted to know.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
But see, you're in the cold already, like we're in Jacksonville.
So the first thing I looked at was like November December,
Oh Buffalo, Ah.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Thank you good. But now I get it. It makes sense.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Speaking of Jacksonville, one thing you did know it had
to cross your radar. It did is the International Series
a trip to London right before the Rams by to
face the Jacksonville Jaguars. My question for you is, who
will you be working for that weekend?
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Like, yeah, can you get it that?
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Can you get the Rams, the Jags and the league
to pay you that?
Speaker 5 (01:33):
You know we're working on that right now.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
It is.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
It's gonna be a tough one. My age is gonna
have to do a wonderful job. But uh, there's a
there's an opportunity there, there's a possibility.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
For three Wow, do we get a kick a part
of it? You're more than welcome to come around.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
I'll do it out there.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Tomasoon geat it's week seven, right, week seven, that's uh,
mid October. You would think Travis Hunter is going to
be fully integrated in what they're doing. I can't wait
to see that guy up close. But in that setting,
going to London always fun. Every jersey is represented. It
seems like a bowl game in the middle of a season.
I love going over there to watch football and watch
(02:11):
Rams football, but that part of it, to see Travis
Hunter there in that environment, I can't wait for it.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
It's a lot different than when the last time we went.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Now people actually have teams and those teams are supported
in those in said games. Right, so you're gonna see
a ton of Jags. We probably see a lot of Rams.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
There's like I've been to the Vikings Jets when last
year literally it was half Bikings half Jets. It was insane,
like you didn't see any other jersey. It was like
Vikings Jets, Like, oh, this is They're starting to kind
of people are starting to find their team and their
niche and go. And I think it's also what's awesome
about it is you you kind of get to see
(02:47):
Rams two point zero right in London, which is exciting
the way they're building their roster, their their coaches, have
their front office.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Oh you're talking about the James Gladstone Ja Nibow.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
Oh yes, all right, yeah, Jake Tenny. I missed that guy,
me too.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Yeah great, Yeah, before I forget your jersey is still
the most popular at Wembley. Right, We're still going to
see the most.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Yeah, I mean Travis Hunter.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
You know in my household, Travis Hunters jumped me.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
So we'll figure it out.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Well, we'll see if we find a thirty two there,
we'll make sure we hold that person in high regard.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
You'll hear me say this a couple of times throughout
the show. The rams dot com is where you want
to be today for the schedule, release all the content,
to see it laid out, and to make sure that
you get your tickets to Sofi Stadium. I'll remind you
throughout the show, but the Rams dot com can't miss it.
The Rams dot Com Slash ti x for single game tickets,
Slash twenty twenty five Slash tickets, everything you need is
right there. Here's what I thought we would do in
(03:39):
terms of structure, and feel free to ignore me completely
and ticket whatever direction you want. But I thought we
could go through like things we like about the schedule,
things that we're a little wary of, don't love, and
then the big question that I want to get to,
and maybe we can just start with it because it's
chronological too, is can the Rams start faster? Can they
start stronger?
Speaker 4 (03:57):
This year?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
The last two seasons have been thrilling, right, they stumbled
a three and six and one and four and they
hit their by at three games under five hundred. That
was a lot of fun to see them go through
those furious.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Rallies, was it was it though? It was it was.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Shaved years off, no question. But the second half we're thrilling.
But there's a reason why they're historic and in some
ways unprecinged because that's not a blueprint for success. So
when you look at the top half of this schedule,
can you see a path of five and two or
six and one coming back from London?
Speaker 4 (04:26):
H okay? So you open with the Texans, then you
got the Titans.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
I mean two teams that really don't have I guess
the marquee value, but I mean good.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Enough teams to Texans are good.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
They can come hit you, absolutely, but it's a good
way to start. And then you go into at Eagles.
That's so I think you have to start faster than
what you've started in the last couple of seasons based
on what you have.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
So let's hope and I'm with you.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
It was fun watching those furious rallies because, like you said, man,
if you're stuck in the middle of the ocean. When
you see that relief boat coming, you're happy. So how
it started, how it ended, I love how it ended.
But if you can just bottle that what you did
in Philadelphia and start this season as game twenty one
and enter that the beginning of this schedule, you can
hit the ground running against the Eagles and everyone else.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
You have to play early.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Yeah, I think when you talk, game one is the
most important, right, because you're one hundred and sixteen days, right,
one hundred and sixteen days. And then think about it
is you have a young quarterback I'm talking about the
Texans here, who struggled as a sophomore, right, he had
the sophomore slump, right, and so how does he bounce back, right?
How do you help him bounce back or does he
bounce back against I think the first part and the
(05:29):
second part of that is their defense is really good.
I mean, they have some really good pass rush, They
have two edge guys that can get after the quarterback.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
They stop the robbiets here.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Right, So you have to make sure that you start
fast in that aspect first winning Week one, and then
we can worry about the others. Always have a rookie
quarterback and then we go to Philly. But Week one,
I think to me is normally you could be like ah, whatever,
like blast. Couple year has been a divisional games, just
like ah, you gotta win those. But this one's a
very important game. Is getting right on the right track against.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
The twenty three rookies of the year against the should
have been twenty twenty three rookies of the year. I
remember two things from Houston last summer. One, how sweaty
you and I were, and like MGD said, how impressive
that defensive roster in particular was that that made an
impression on Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Absolutely, That's why I'm happy it's here. And like you said,
it's it's almost like you would start the old school
college schedule. I mean, one that you can win, one
that's probably over your head, and one that's kind of
evenly matched. This is a great way to start the season.
If you ask me for the Rams, you're.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Gonna see Cam Orb's home debut in Nashville. And even
though I cautioned this by saying it didn't go the
Rams way in Chicago against Caleb Williams, Generally you want
to face rookie quarterbacks in September. That should bode well
for the Rams odds of winning that game. Philly and
Baltimore the big ones. I think you circled them already.
How about the fact that both of those are ten
am regional kickoffs? Did that get your attention at all?
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Yuh?
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I wonder if they can flex it, but I know
they kind of put a role and they can flex games.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Yeah, Ravens and Rams start hot. You could see that
game from Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
But it's funny because like the Rams do well at
ten ams. So maybe someone, maybe someone was like, hey, you.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Know what I thought of cold, You're our shirtless heckler
from Lincoln Financial.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Filh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
I mean he's still gonna be ready, but he's gonna
have to start like five am to be as ready
as in January.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Yeah, Well he had to get ready though because it
was a little pretty chilly out there. But it's gonna
be a little warmer to see if he makes it
to the third quarter.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
How about the AFC South. Three out of four to
start in that crossover division and all four before the bye,
You're gonna know whether or not you're good enough to
win that division before you compete for your own.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Well. I love the fact that you you you kind
of start with some young quarterbacks early on, uh, Anthony
Richardson or Daniel Jones, and that that cold game is
gonna be huge. It's not in India, it's here in
la which is nice to get that. And then obviously,
you know, we talked about the Jags.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
A little bit.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
But I think if you're if you're two and.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Oh in that AFC South and you get to to London,
you should be you should be comfortable. And I about
another young quarterback and the young system being built that
you can probably take advantage of.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
You said you looked at December right for weather games,
no real weather concerns for the Rams. London and Seattle
could always be cold and that's just how it is.
But otherwise a lot of indoor environments and I don't
think it'll be snowing in Philadelphia in September. I think
you're in the clear there.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Hopefully you never know. Please.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Some other things that I like, only two short weeks, right,
two Thursday night games on the schedule like last year,
but the Rams are home on Sunday before Thursday night football, right,
so that you don't have to leave the time zone
either for either of those Thursday night games, So I
think that's advantageous. You hope that is, yeah, And then
you catch many byes on the other side of those
Thursday night games, and those mini byes lead to extra
(08:46):
prep for the trip to face the Ravens and then
late in the year what could be a colossal clash
with Raheem Morris and the Falcons. Think about how much
could be on the line on that Monday night football.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
It could be a lot.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
I like where that Ravens game sits, it's kind of
like you get the break before and then you get
the bye week coming soon.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
So I mean you could really just.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Like you think about it, blow it out and then
get to your bye week a double bye so to speak,
and kind of rest up, because I think that's the
one thing besides looking at December, that's what every player does.
Where you're gonna be when it's cold, When is the
bye week and when do you have those breaks? And
if you have that built in double by, like you
have a chance to do certain things defensively, offensively, and say,
(09:27):
if something happens we get banged up, we have two
weeks basically or ten extra days to rest up. So
I like where that Ravens game sits, and then I
like where the buy sits right after.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
It's right in the middle of the schedule.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Right then.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
That's the nice byproduct of going to London is you
get the option to have that break, that open date
and that bye and then the New Orleans game that
follows it that leads you into the trade deadline. And
we always watch the RAM during the trade deadline because
they've done some things over the year and with where
they are in the evolution of this roster and the
fact that they hold an extra first round pick, that
(09:58):
trip to London, the bye where it is, the home
date with New Orleans all before the trade deadline, and
a trip to San Francisco. Wow, what a fascinating stretch
of weeks that could be.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Do you remember Sean having that interview about having that
extra first rounder and he kind of smirked.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
I feel like he kind of knew that all this
was going to happen at this point, Like, Okay, we
depending on how we play, we can go out and
get whoever we want to help us.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
On this run.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
And again, you were talking about starting fast if you
can get out of that for those first seven games
with a positive four and three or five and two,
do you know that second that run is coming? And
that's when this team starts to click. And so to
have that that that piece, that ability to go out
and trade for someone and then either like play the
Saints or didn't go to San franch So how do
you want to do it?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
I remember a few years back a couple high profile
players made their Rams debut in Santa Clair against I
don't think the outcome was what the Rams wanted that night,
but the end of that story was good as I.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Okay, yeah, I think that it was with the outcome
we wanted, didn't we wanted?
Speaker 5 (10:57):
Sure?
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Who said that? Okay?
Speaker 1 (10:59):
I want to apologize to everyone who's been waiting for
Rams Thanksgiving Day for a long long time. I know
the appetite is out there and it will happen, but
the NFL's longest Thanksgiving Droute continues, how are you guys
feeling about dodging all of the holiday games?
Speaker 4 (11:15):
I'm okay with it. Good on the field, I'm okay
with it. I mean, did you want to play on Thanksgiving?
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Now? I'm a football fan. Even when I played, I
used to watch on things. We'd practice early in the
morning and head home and I head home the food
to be, then the TV beyond we'd be watching games.
That's what you want to do.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
I was one of the Turkey Leg though, come on,
I would love for the Turkey Leg be fun.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
But back in the day before they started doing triple headers,
when we were playing, you have to go to you
You've had to go to Dallas or.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
To Detroit right as far from Jackson someday fun.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Yeah, last year there was a possibility because of the
at Detroit on the schedule without the Lions or the
Cowboys hosting the Rams. This year it was it was
slim odds. I think that eleven day break around Christmas
is kind of key huge. I mean not just for
moms and day ads, but in terms of where the
RAMS could be when you play what at Seattle and
then get an extra mini buy in there before the
(12:08):
closing stretch at Atlanta and then how about Arizona? Is
the league telling us something about the Rams and the
Cardinals that they play twice in December January? Like I
tend to look, where are the Niners games? They're both
done by week ten? Where the other division games. They're
setting up for finales against Arizona in La Well.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
I think we talked about it last year. Arizona really
has kind of caught some interest in how they've changed.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
They've evolved in.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
To being more of a power team, and they've played
really well early in the year and they kind of
fall off a little bit at the end. But I
think that the Cardinals have done a great job of really.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Yeah, that's why it's crazy to put him at the end,
because usually that's where I guess Kyler starts to fizzle
out a little bit. But maybe he's changed, or maybe
they're going to be different. Who knows, but you might
be onto something there.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
I don't think he fizzled against the Rams. Training rides
at ear holes I remember. But other than that, it
was pretty good game. Some things that I don't love.
Four road back to backs.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Got it's hard.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Look, a McVeigh team travels well, so they can handle
stuff on the road.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
That's a hard one though.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
More miles than any NFC team. That was going to
be the case anyways. And then you add London in there.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Yeah, you're heading east a lot, but I mean that
comes that that that all tells me, and I believe
the way that Shawn structed his practices and how the
staff is built off of like sleep and stretching and
all that you could handle. That we did that when
I was with the Raiders. I was done by week ten.
Let's sit me out, put me put your on the shelf.
(13:38):
Really wow, we had went to in the first like
eight weeks. We had went to the East Coast twice
and to London and back, and then had to double
back and go and we had to play. We played
the Rams, or we played the Rams. That's when you
guys beat U fifty two.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Oh my god, yes, the blowout game. I remember that.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Yeah, that was that was that. I remember waking up.
This is how tired I was due. It was a
little size for I remember waking up. It was like
it's supposed to be like like a seven o'clock wig
up call. I slept in my alarm and I almost
missed the bus. Exhausted. We played at noon. Unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
So you're suggesting the Rams stay in the Baltimore area
and prepare for London so as not to play.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
Or they made his flight to London.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Yeah, right, But what I do believe is that they're
better prepared than we were.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Then they do it differently. I think that's been one
of the secret ingredients to the success in the Sean
McVay era, as how well they play in that ten
am window, and the way that Reggie Scott and everybody
here has kind of calibrated their trips to Land Saturday
night back time everything Land, play and get home. And
so I think there's a little bit of a chip
on the shoulder to be had when you see four
(14:44):
ten am kickoffs against good opponents, yes, and only four
primetime assignments. I've got some more context on that in
a second, but I think you could take that personally
if you were so inclined. However, as many miles as
the Rams are going to travel, you got to spin
it to the positive, which is they're to be getting
home at some decent hours on Sunday nights after Philadelphia,
(15:05):
after Charlotte, and spending your week around is equally important
in terms of getting ready for that next Sunday.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
I like playing in the morning. I do like to
get up and go and get up and go. Let's
just go. I hate waiting around and thinking about the game.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Well, let's you Philly as an example, Right, you're gonna
be home from Philly at a normal hour on Sunday night.
MJD might even be with Chris Rose at the at
the network at the end.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
It possibly.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Maybe that's kind of what they were thinking that maybe
that's what they were thinking, maybe the NFL.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
If you put that on Sunday Night football instead, then
the Rams are getting home at four in the morning
on Monday, getting set for the week ahead. So again,
you can only deal the car, you can only play
the cards you're dealt. And I think this is overall fair,
even though, yeah, what I'd like to see more Sunday
night football on the schedule, sure, But I will point
out too that Game of the Week window that one
(15:52):
twenty five Pacific four twenty five Eastern, that's a featured
window like Fox and CBS, they played big money to
have have that on a national broadcast, and the Rams
have four of those two. So if Tom Brady and
Tony Romore are calling your games, you're doing something right.
And the Rams are selected for four of those.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
That's why I like the schedule release.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
This is when that queasiness starts, where it starts to
get serious, where you know when and where and all
that sort of stuff, and then you start worrying about
the ifs and wins and who you have. So this
this will be fun and look, the more eyeballs on
the product, the better. But I do think that the
way the team is constructed now, I think they're prepared
for this, to travel, to play primetime games, to play
games on different continents with the guys you have and
(16:32):
the team makeup you have. So I like the way
this rolls out as a schedule. Some things you don't like.
But if you want to talk about a team that's
going to roll into the playoffs and win some meaningful
games in December, this could be that schedule.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Were you surprised the Cooper Cup Homecoming is a normal
Sunday one o'clock kickoff in a regional window.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
When that game by Sea week eleven, Week eleven, and
that's there here right.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
So far so Cooper comes to So if I before
the Rams go to Loomenfield in Seattle, I like that,
But I thought that game had Week one potential. Yeah,
they didn't put it there. They didn't put it in
any Island game. It's just part of the schedule.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
I'm thinking if you didn't do it early, then I
mean you kind of factor in is he gonna be
there later? So Cooper Cup because if he's not, if
he has another injury situation in Seattle and he's not
in the game, then you might have just wasted a window.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
So I get it. It makes sense. Maybe it just
makes sense for us here. That's gonna be huge to
see him in a different uniform.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
But I can understand if you didn't do it week one,
that might have been your window there for that.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
That's gonna be tough, man. That's gonna be a hard day.
Oh yeah, it's gonna be a hard day.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
So let's let's keep it kicking the can down the road.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
Wait and.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Kicks your butt if you do want to see that
game at Sofi Stadium the Triple Crown winners return. Uh,
it is the Rams dot Com for your tickets, individuals
in season tickets.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
When he's when he's announced, I'll be standing up and
then what are you gonna do? That's it.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
He's the opponent after that, But I'll stand up give
them a problem. That's why I love.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
You, because you could you could turn it on. Yeah,
I'm gonna be sad the whole game. Yeah, because it's
like we got to get you, and we don't want
to get you, but we gotta get you.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
After that, you're the opponent, y, Yes, and watch them
on third down.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Right the game you are looking forward to most.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
You want to go I got two go ahead?
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Well, of course, Philly, because you you you took them
to get the last few plays and you were that close.
And even the Eagle said that was their toughest opponent.
That was the team they worried about the most. So
you were that close there. And of course, uh, anybody
h that's been around here for a while, you're gonna
have that Lions game Circle. It ain't over yet, and
(18:43):
I hope Higbee is healthy for that game. There's a
lot of get back in that game. There's a lot
of storylines there. So that game is always circle. The
one I'm dreading the most is Baltimore. Yeah, Balti.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
It's hard to get to.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
It's AFC North Ball, everything's outdoors, it's it's Lamar, it's
everything against them though last time at least, Yeah, but
they test you in all three phases. Remember how that
last game ended on a punt return as a heartbreaker,
So that one always. Oh but the Lions, Yes, Philadelphia absolutely.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
I was having to have the jag circles, that's just
an easy one, but I had the Lions. I had
the Lions circle just because of you know, I felt
like the Rams in week one really had an opportunity
to go out there and win that one. But like
your whole line gets taken out in that first game.
It's kind of like a but then we saw what
happened to Detroit later on, right who was a contender,
and then they got all banged up. So hopefully both
(19:36):
teams are healthy playing you get a really good game,
and then for.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Me, I would have liked that Lions game early it's
I'm fine with where it is. Complaints, but because of
the new coordinators I could have, I guess made the
case like while they get their sea legs, maybe try
and jump them. But you could spend it the other
way too, which is who knows what they're throwing out
their scheme wise, I don't think it's gonna be too different,
(19:59):
but you'll have a lot inventory.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
And that's going to be a playoff game, right, That's
going to be a contending game of you two teams
battling for position you hope in the playoffs at that time.
And another one for me is always you know again
being a guy from the bey Ear. I love whenever
we go to San Francisco.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
It's just the at San Francisco.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Yeah, I don't want it.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Here like here, it's like they I want to go
up north.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
The one I'm looking forward to most is is week five,
Thursday night football against the forty nine ers. It's it's
tough every year to knock that one off the pedestal.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Yeah, I want to go up there though, because you know,
I remember this last Thursday we went up there. It
was at San Francisco. It was raining. We won twelve
to six. The amount of trash talk that I have
on the way home is like unbearable, like people, and
you know, I'm a proud RAMS fan. I rock my
stuff and I get a button. Everyone's just chirping at me.
And so when that happens, it's just like here I am.
(20:49):
So anytime you can win up there, oh my gosh,
I always look for that one.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
I just love the escalator.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
I was just about to say the escalators working.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Yeah, absolutely, well, it's.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Nice to know, right and in the meantime, there's so
much look forward to ot as will have.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Can we talk about what we don't like on the schedule?
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Yeah? Why do we always have to.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Go somewhere the third preseason game? Why can't we just
get at home?
Speaker 1 (21:12):
We got to check in with Andrew Siciliano.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
And then we can play the Chargers here and if
we're solid, we're good talking.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
About preseason I am, because that's a lot of travel.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Yeah, we didn't give the preseason schedule enough run here, Cowboys,
Chargers at How about if I take you to Maui
to make up for it?
Speaker 4 (21:30):
There you go. Okay, that's a whole other ordeal we.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
Have to talk about.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
How about mandatory mini camp in MAUI? Think back, think
back to your player self. How would that?
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Oh my god, bro, we're not getting much done. I'll
tell you that.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
No, not done.
Speaker 4 (21:47):

Oh yeah, but.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
So working on it.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
Did you talk about preseason? Unreal?
Speaker 5 (22:14):
Yes, preseason the most important season. It's the closest thing.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
I had like one hundred and sixteen days to see
j Stroud and now I got to back that out.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
We gotta go see your door. We gotta figure out
if he's winning the job or not. Right, the Chargers
with Nausey Harris, I mean we.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Got going on. That's gonna be wild.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Yes, and then the Cowboys with George Pickens start this
thing off.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Anything else.
Speaker 1 (22:35):

Speaker 4 (22:36):

Speaker 1 (22:37):
