Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hello everyone, hope you had a great holiday weekend. Welcome
back to RAMS Revealed. I'm your host JB. Long as
you know, the Los Angeles Rams are coming off a victory.
They're six and six heading into Week fourteen, a home
game against the Buffalo Bills, who have already clinched the
AFC East. To preview that game and the playoff push
for your Los Angeles Rams, we welcome to the program
for the first time Rams rookie running back Blake Koram.
(00:27):
Good to see you, Blake.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
I appreciate you for having me.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Thanks for spending part of your day with us. Before
we look ahead to Sunday against Buffalo, we have to
look back on a huge road win in a game
with series playoff implications. I know it's always nice to
get a victory on that holiday weekend, especially against the arrival.
So again, congratulations Blake. I'm of course talking about Michigan
beat in Ohio state.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Yes, sir, great win, great win. Wait, you know, the
year was a didn't good a way we wanted it to,
but we finished strong. Man, we finished strong, and he
made it a great year. Being the state.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
You're pointing that calid over there, the manager of Communications
who told us under know in certain terms that we
were not allowed to talk about that game. So I
figured we just start with it, and that way, if
they have to edit it out of the show, it's
nice off top. But yeah, that was something else. Both
schools find one hundred grand too for the Francas afterwards too.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
That's a that's a big fun And I don't know
if you saw, but it was rivalry weak. There was
a bunch of teams just going at it over a flag,
you know, so maybe we had to get the flag
out of there. But also people just not need to
know how to lose.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
It was a trend, wasn't it.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
It was a trend. It was a tread.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
What about the win over the Saints. Let's talk NFL
now in the Los Angeles Rams or should we start?
Maybe you always said at halftime, what did it feel
like to be shut out down? Six zero?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:45):
But also I sense like a quiet confidence that you
knew you had the formula to get going offensively.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah, we knew we had the formula. I mean, the
offensive line was coming out fire and we're running the
ball really well. You know, we just were able to
put points on the board. In the first half, we
knew we were driving. We were driving. We went four
and fourth down, you know, probably could have kicked the
field goal, but that's the belief that you know, coach
McVay has on us. But you know, halftime, we kind
of just regrouped, you know, let's continue to doing the
(02:11):
things that are working in terms of the run schemes,
and then we got the pass game going along, and
you know that second half we came out, you know,
firing and were able to you know, get the.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Dub best rushing day of the season specifically for the Rams.
One fifty six on the ground and limited snaps, limited possessions.
What do you think went into it? What were the
key ingredients?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Yeah, I think the week's work. You know, we came in,
you know, Coach McVay talked to us, and you know
it was really just putting our heads down and going
to work, you know, treating each and every day as
their own entity, you know, and starting Wednesday, we had
a great practice. Thursday we had a great practice, and
then it led into you know above the next Friday
and Saturday. But we were able to go out there
(02:51):
Sunday and do it. But you know, it started in
the trenches, you know, with our offensive line and our
defensive line. You know, they're they're the ones that you know,
the term and if we're going to win or not.
And they did a phenomenal job yesterday. And as you said,
you know, one hundred and fifty six yards Russian, you
know that's saluted them and the tight ends and the
receivers you know, blocking, So.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
You kind of make the segue for us there. I
want to ask you about having some semblance of stability
on that offensive line. Let's just say the most that
the Rams have enjoyed so far in this twenty fourth season.
From a running back standpoint, how vital is that? How
do you sense that?
Speaker 2 (03:23):
You know, it's very vital, you know, just knowing you know,
we have got our guys back. You know, they have
been you know, some guys missed a lot of games
and beginning the season, but we have everyone back, you know,
and so that consistency, you know, building that trust within
them and them trusting us. You know, I think it
allows us just to go out there and play ball.
No one. We're going to hit our spots and and
make things happen. So you know, it's it's crucial that
(03:45):
you know, we have our guys back.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Do you think people on the outside, like me, maybe
underrate how important that synchronicity, that time on task is
as a unit.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Yeah, I believe so. I believe so in the you know,
it's very important, you know, And I say trust because
that's the biggest thing, you know, trusting that you know,
the offensive line are going to come off on their blocks,
and trusting that we're going to be, you know, in
the position to make them right. They make big plays.
So I think it's crucial that you know, we are
in sync, you know, and that starts in practice.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Like what was that week like with Karen? You mentioned
how good the practices were, Like, it's no mystery. He
was clearly working through a tough stretch. He's had a
great two year burst here, but this this last month
maybe not his finest hour. How did you see that
play out of the course of the week, and and
what did Karen do to put himself in position to
thrive again against the Saints?
Speaker 2 (04:35):
You know, I think, you know, just a little adversity,
you know, and I think it was just a little
bit of fuel to the fire, right, you know, having
a couple of games where he may have fumbled, but
you know, we all know he's a phenomenal back, you know,
and he didn't have to change much, just be himself,
you know, and so you know, he just attacked practice,
attack meetings the way that Karen does. You know, he
has a great enthusiasm, you know, a great competitor, and
(04:59):
I think we I saw that, you know, yesterday, just
the type of competitor he is. You know, he kind
of put that behind him and knew, you know, he
just had to take care of the ball a little bit,
and he did that yesterday, and he hit a phenomenal game.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
You know, after that closing stretch on defense, he gets
that first down run for a fresh set of downs
and that's ball game right there. And he does it
right in front of your sideline. You see Sean McVay
react like, did that facial expression? Did that celebration kind
of exude exactly the temperament that you're talking about, I think.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
So, you know, he felt it all game. You know,
he was breaking off runs, he was running hard, and
that last run, you know, it was a great run.
You know, it looked like he might have been stopped
for a second, and then he bounced it and gave
a stiff arm to the dB. But you know he
was feeling it. You know, he felt his confidence, You felt,
you know, his energy, and I think the team was
feeding off that.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I want to ask you about fumbling because when I
watch you guys practice, not a day goes by that
running backs don't work on ball security. Like I know
how intentional you are about it, and so when it happens,
it's gotta be like this. I have recurring nightmares about
certain things in profession. What's it like to be running
back and lose possession of that football.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
It's tough. You know, It's like your heart drops because
you're trying to find it to recover it. And then
once you realize you know you didn't recover it, it's like, dang,
I just let my team down. But you know, the
whole time, you know that your team has your back,
you know. And that's what I love about this group
of guys is because you know football, we're going to
make mistakes, right you know, it's a game. At the
end of the day. We're gonna make mistakes. It's just
(06:28):
how you respond. But you know, Coach g does a
phenomenal job at you know, making sure we do those
bass security drills each and every day, even when we're
just playing cats, you know, Tucket Tucket, you know, but
y'all other arm on the ball. You know, we're just
playing cats, you know. But you know it's heart dropping,
you know, because you feel like you left you you
let your team down. But it's all about how you respond.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
You mentioned coach g there. I've had a chance to
observe Ron Gould's teams and running backs for many years
college football here on the West Coast, now in the
National Football League with the Rams. What's it like being
a part of his room. I don't feel like we've
talked about him much on this show or others.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
It's great. You know. He comes in each and every
day early. You know, he might be the first one here.
He telling me. You get here like three thirty in
the morning. I'm like, coach, do you sleep? You know,
But you know he's here to put in work. You know,
he gets his work out in and gets in the
sign of but he just comes in each and every day,
you know, the same. He's consistent, you know, with great energy,
great enthusiasm. He's just a down to earth human being,
(07:26):
a great man, and he's you know, the head of
our running back room and the reason we all have
great relationships within the running back room and want to
play for each other.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
So we're going to circle back to that early alarm
clock in just a second, because I've heard you have
a reputation for being an early riser too. But before
we leave the twenty four rams running back room, I
wonder what it's like for you to be in a
backup role or a complimentary capacity, Like, when's the last
time that was the case for you as a football
player ever?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Oh, yeah, there wasn't time. Covid year, we're kind of
rotating three or four backs in Michigan playing played six
games and then sophomore year I was a backup to
Son Haskins, but we were both getting our fair share.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Yeah you were making that, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
We were getting our fair share. So this is really
the first time that you know, I have that backup role,
and you know, it's great, you know it's great. Obviously
you know that competitive me. I want to be out there,
you know, toting that rock. But you know, as a
team player, I'm doing whatever I can to make sure
my team wins, right, whether that be you know, left
wing on punt or you know, kickoff return, you know, kickoff,
(08:35):
trying to go down, make a tackle, you know, whatever
the team needs me to do to win. And that's
what I told him coming in. I'm here to do
and uh, you know, I just you know, do my role.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
You were the wing man for Jordan Winnington this week.
I got a couple of great returns. It was nice
to see that what was maybe what was going on
behind the scenes that led to that opportunity to have
the Rams have a breakout game on kick return.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Yeah. I keep going back to a practice, you know,
and coach Chase, he does a phenomenal job at scheming
up the teams and scheming up great returns. And we
knew these were going to hit, you did. We knew it.
We knew it all week just based off of what
the Saints did. But you know, he had some great
returns and like I said, they started to practice, we
knew where they were going to hit. And he hit
(09:17):
him full speed. You hit him full speed. He was
making people miss. I think he even jumped over someone.
You know. You know, Jordan Winnington, he's a phenomenal player.
You know, I'm glad I was able to be his
off returner and get a little block out there.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yeah. Yeah, nice to see him playing healthy again. He
too the Texas Longhorns with a rivalry win. Going back
to our college football conversation, where do you think, Blake
you've grown the most from whether it's the off season
program or training camp to now. Like you talked about
waiting your turn and how anxious you are for your
opportunities and you capitalize on some yesterday. But what's happened
(09:49):
behind the scenes to put yourself in a better position
to impact the NFL football?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Yeah, I think my football IQ. Just knowing where my
blocks are going, you know, treating coach he always says this,
but treat each player as its own entity, right, you
know it's outside zone or wide zone, you know, knowing
where it should hit where, but where it could possibly hit.
Where's my B block going and things like that. So, uh,
(10:14):
just my football IQ and knowing the schemes that the
defense are running and where my blocks are going to be.
So I would say that's the biggest thing for me,
just getting a grasp of the actual offense.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
But because of who you played for and the amount
you played in college. Didn't you already have like a
running start in that regarde ahead of the game.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Yeah, I definitely did. I think, you know, Coach Harball,
you know, the offense that we we had at Michigan
was phenomenal. But our offensive line, our tight ends, we
were so good. We only ran a couple of plays.
You know, we only ran a couple of runs just
because they worked so well. We didn't have to do
too much where you know, this offense, uh, you know,
(10:54):
it's a lot of bigger playbook. So just knowing where
my blocks are going in different refronts and things like that,
you know, that's where I've grown the most.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
What is your favorite run concept? Like, if you could
set the defense up to give you whatever look you
wanted and whatever play call, where do you think you thrive?
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Probably anything where I can keep my shoulder square, So
will it that be duo rewinds. Anything where I can
look at the defense straight ahead. I know I can
go each and any anyway. Those are my favorite runs.
I feel like, just my short area of quickness and
my versatility, you know, that's where I thrive.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
I think you would have killed it in the snow
and Buffalo. I don't know if you were watching that
game on the plane home, but the Niners and the
Bills were having a field day on the ground Birthday
in those conditions.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Oh they were you know, snow angels and all. You know,
they were having a blast out there. You know. The Bills,
you know, they kind of put it away early. You know,
I'm definitely excited to get a chance to play them
this week.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
You know, LA's had a couple of chances now to
get to five hundred and the breakthrough to kind of
become that that winning team. Here's another chance to level
up right against a real Super Bowl contender. Your thoughts
on Buffalo coming to Sofi Stadium and really the larger
chance that the Rams have within the division these final
five weeks.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yeah, I think it starts with one, and we got
that one yesterday. So I think we just need to,
you know, continue to put our heads down, continue to
work this week, and go into you know Sunday, you know,
confident that we're going to beat the Bills. But like
I said, it's all going to go back to the work.
You know, we did it when the Vikings came in
and they were undefeated, and we gave them their first
(12:32):
l So I think, you know, we have the team,
we have the players, we have the coaches to do it,
and I think we will. But it's going to start
with the great weeks of work.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
As many times as you've referenced that great week of work.
The one thing we haven't talked about last week your birthday.
You're twenty fourth, happy, belated.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
I appreciate that. Appreciated, old man.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
No, not true. Is it ever a bummer to like
have a birthday as a football player during football season
because you just blow right past it. No, it's great.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
You know, it's great, you know, getting to celebrate with
your teammates and even sometimes my birthdays on Thanksgiving, you know,
so you know you're gonna get a great meal. But
now it's great, you know, being in the facility doing
something that I love, doing something I've been doing since
six years old. You know, it doesn't get better than that.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Yeah, thanks for bringing up Thanksgiving because I want to
talk about giving back to give thanks. You were the
Community service Man of the Year at Michigan. There's what
now a four year running YEP tradition that you have
using money you've generated from your name, image, likeness to
give back to that community. Tell us about that effort.
You know, it was.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
My sophomore year. I met a guy named the Law
earlier that summer at the summer camping Ipsilanti, and I
told him what I wanted to do, you know, and
IO just started. You know, I was making a couple
of dollars. And then my parents instilled to me that
you know, always give back, you know, always give back.
And I wanted to do a turkey drive and so
but Law he was like, let's do it, you know.
(13:56):
And that first year we did two hundred turkeys, and
it was great. I was going around knocking on people's door,
you know, getting to be there in the community, being
able to hear people's stories, getting to see them smile,
and that's what it's all about. Then the next year
we did four hundred, and then the last two years
we've been able to do six hundred. And even though
I wasn't able to be there because we were playing
a game, I formed such a great friendship within that community.
(14:20):
So many people came out and helped my brother's keeper.
You know, below AFC and Arbor, they all were there
handing out turkey's and it was a great event. They
were sending me videos of everyone in the community, people smiling,
and I'm like, you know, that's what it's about, you know,
using this platform to help others, And like I always
tell everyone, you know, football's my passion, but giving back
to my purpose and I truly believe that.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Yeah, so you referenced your parents. I want to talk
about them in a second kind of instilling that in you.
You told me before we got started, there's another big
name in the professional football landscape who formed how you
handle finances and how you're using your resources here early
in your professional career. Would you mind sharing that with
our audience?
Speaker 2 (14:57):
I thought, oh, yeah, Marshawn Lynch. You know, he was
one of my favorite running backs, you know, watching growing up.
And it's pretty cool because Coach g coached him at Cow.
But he always said, you know, take care of your chicken,
you know. And you know, I was blessed to be
in a situation in college where you know, and I
just started and I made a good amount of money.
So coming into the NFL, something I learned from him,
(15:20):
it was like, don't spend your NFL checks, right, don't
spend your NFL earnings. And so you know, for the
next couple of years at least, you know, I'm living
off of what I made in college, you know, and
just going to put the NFL checks away. Let that
stack up, let that build. But yeah, the great Marshall
lens he taught me something.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Yeah, thanks for sharing that, because look, I think we
all agree like college players deserve part of what they're generating, right,
and so it's good to see that. But it is
kind of driving this transfer portal era, which I understand
doesn't sit well with all college fans. So to hear
two dimensions of the other part of it, with you
giving back to the community in Michigan and how you're
setting yourself up for future success, I just of that.
(16:00):
I think that's really important to say. All right, let's
pivot here to the wind down presented by Sleep Number,
and each week on RAMS Revealed, we get insight into
how sleep and recovery impacts performance in the National Football League. Blake,
you mentioned that your position coach is an early riser.
I've read that you are too, or at least you've
been known to wake up early at points in your career.
(16:20):
True or false?
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Very true?
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Okay, let's go back in time Marshall, Virginia. Do I
have the hometown correction Virginia, Okay, described as a rural
town outside of DC. And you're a self described country boy,
How might people know you're from the country.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Uh? I got a big twenty five hundred Chevy Silverado
Diesel outside I'm in Cali. What am I doing with that?
You know, it's not like I'm working, you know, blue
collar worker. I play football. But you know, if you
just look at my dad, you know the work that
he does. You know, that's that's how I consider myself
country blue collar.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
M You and here are in business together in a
way we are. Tell us about that in Deva real.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Estate, real estate. I started getting into real estate my
dad and I maybe junior year of college. We purchased
the first house and now we're up to six and
these are rental properties. So we're getting some cash flow
from from all our properties, and you know, we're just
going to continue to do it. You know, that's something
that we both love and it's a great investment at
(17:23):
the end of the day, you know. So you know,
I'm glad that. You know, even though I'm kind of
behind the scenes, I'm not hands on because of where
I live and what I do. He's out there working
each and every day, you know, on those along with
you know, the other side of his business. But you know,
it's it's definitely fun doing it with my dad.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
So Blake, growing up where you did, but then seeing
the talent that you had, like you and your family
clearly made a commitment to pour into this and to
take football as far as it would go. So where
I get the early morning wake up calls, I read
that as early as three thirty am. As a prep
you would drive eight hours round trip to the private
school and Dryland where you start stopping along the way
(18:02):
so you could hit the trainer before you got to school.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Yeah, so I wouldn't say I drove eight hours round trip.
That was more so my parents. But yeah, we would
wake up around three point thirty maybe four every morning
my freshman and sophomore year of high school. Because like
I said, I'm from a small town. Not too many
people get, you know, athletic scholarships where I live, and
so we knew we had to go somewhere else, and
(18:26):
so we decided to go to private school in Maryland. Yeah,
so I would stop training with my trainer Raymond, Washington,
and then we would head on down to Maryland. Uh weller,
my mom or dad drem me that day, but they
drive all the way back two hours, go to work,
come back that evening in rush hour, pick me up,
and then we would go on home. And we did
(18:47):
that for two years, and it paid off because at
the end of my freshman year, I believe I had
probably fifteen scholarships, and then end of my sophomore year,
I was probably up to twenty five. And then we
came to a conclusion like, all right, this is becoming
a little bit of a lot, big sacrifice that my
parents and sisters had to, you know, put up with.
And so they were like, come back home to go
(19:08):
to public school. I'm like, no, I don't want to
do that. So I transferred down to Saint Francis Academy
in Baltimore, where I stayed, and we were a powerhouse.
We flew out here, played Modern Day, played IMG. We
were just flying everywhere and playing good teams. And it
actually helped me because it was good on good. So
when I got to college, it wasn't much of a
difference at all.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
You ended up being the State player of the year.
In twenty nineteen, you earned your opportunity at Michigan, which,
apart from football, is also significant to that family backstory
that you've referenced. Now you're a first generation college student
and your sister's following in your footsteps.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Two, I understand they sure are Ones a softball pitcher
at VSU, and then Ones just got to college at BCU,
So you know, we're first generation. When I was first
to do it and my sisters were following amazing.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
You become a two time All American Big Ten Player
of the Year, MVP of the national championship win over Washington,
and you're Michigan's all time leader in rushing touchdowns fifty
eight single season record twenty seven. You hit peyterr at
least one time in each of your last twenty six
college games. So here's what I'm building toward. How much
do you miss the end zone?
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Well? I missed it a lot, you know, and I
know it has to be coming soon because I know
the end zone misses me, you know. But you know
Coach G calls it Fruitville, you know. So if Coach
G's gonna watch this, I'll be getting into Fruitville soon
because I'm missing some fruit and like I said, fruit's
missing me.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Do you feel like you are getting it told? Like,
I was great to see Kyeren thrive, but you were
right there, yeah, you know, kind of teaming with him,
and I can't help but think like that's the best
form of the Rams rushing attack for these final five games.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Yeah, you know it was. It was awesome because I
felt like we were feeding off each other. Yesterday, you know,
I was in and Kyen you know, went like seventy
yards and two drives, you know, and it was just
awesome the energy that we were able to balance off
each other and the offense was just thriving. But like,
it's not about you know, who scores. You know, at
the end of the day, it's about winning. You know,
That's all I care about because winning is fun. You know,
(21:10):
Losing sucks. Let's just let's just be real and so, uh,
you know, as much as I want to get into
the end zone, you know, if we're winning, hey who cares?
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Yeah, but still it's good to know that it misses
you as much as because when it happens, that'll make
it all the sweeter.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Yeah, she talks to me. She talks to me. Come on,
come on, get in here. But uh, you know I'll
be there soon. But you know, I know my time's coming.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
One last thing before we let you go to your
week of preparation for the Buffalo Bills. We got some
real baseball fans in the room, so they saw your
first pitch at the Tigers game, and the video framing
was such that we couldn't tell strike. Okay, I want
to set the record straight. Right, do you celebrate? You
gave it a little punctuation, all right, So that was
a strike. Strike.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
You know, baseball was my first sport.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
To what level? How did you take it?
Speaker 2 (22:00):
But we had a phenomenal baseball team. We all stick
together from when we were young all the way up.
Traveled played at cal Ripkin played. Uh and what's the
what's the where's the Hall of Fame? At Cooperstown? We
played at Cooperstown and I got my pens. I hit
a grand slam.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
I was grand slim.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Yeah, Cooperstown, Liberstown, New York, hit a grand slam. Uh,
I got all my pens that we traded with teams
from all over. Uh. You know, baseball was first sport.
You know I was a catcher. You know, no one
could steal on me. Pop time was crazy, but uh no,
baseball was fun. So just being able to uh you know,
Detroit had me on through that first pison. And also
I became pretty good friends with Derek Jeter uh along
(22:40):
my career in Michigan because he was community of Michigan
and whatnot, and so, uh it was It's pretty cool.
We talked here and there. But uh, you know, he's
one of the great So when I first got to
meet him, like, dang, this is really Derrey Peter.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Like twenty five minutes into this, he just casually dropping
the conversation.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Geter ball in my house, you know. But it was awesome.
But that was a strike.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
It was all right. We got to get you to
Schevez Reviuni, next to home of the raigning World Series champions.
Oh yeah, next offseason.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
We finish on Rams Revealed, as we do each week
with Fair's amazing artistic talent. Your whiteboard sketch for each
of our guests. So we just present this to you.
We'll have your autograph it on your way out.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
But it is awesome.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
It's kind of how we tease each player's appearance here
on the show. Looks like me and the Rose.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Okay, Rose Bull, there you go. One of the best
stadiums out there.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Shout out for the game and the win in the game. Yes, sir,
all right, Thank you Blake. It was great to get
to know you a little bit better. No, I appreciate it.
Can't wait to see you in the end zone for
the first time, sooner rather than later. Go get them
against the Buffalo Bills. Hope to see you as well
at SOFI Stadium. Thank you for joining us for each
and every episode of RAMS revealed. I'm your host, JB.
Long End, as always, were presented by sleep number
Hello everyone, hope you had a great holiday weekend. Welcome
back to RAMS Revealed. I'm your host JB. Long as
you know, the Los Angeles Rams are coming off a victory.
They're six and six heading into Week fourteen, a home
game against the Buffalo Bills, who have already clinched the
AFC East. To preview that game and the playoff push
for your Los Angeles Rams, we welcome to the program
for the first time Rams rookie running back Blake Koram.
(00:27):
Good to see you, Blake.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
I appreciate you for having me.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Thanks for spending part of your day with us. Before
we look ahead to Sunday against Buffalo, we have to
look back on a huge road win in a game
with series playoff implications. I know it's always nice to
get a victory on that holiday weekend, especially against the arrival.
So again, congratulations Blake. I'm of course talking about Michigan
beat in Ohio state.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Yes, sir, great win, great win. Wait, you know, the
year was a didn't good a way we wanted it to,
but we finished strong. Man, we finished strong, and he
made it a great year. Being the state.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
You're pointing that calid over there, the manager of Communications
who told us under know in certain terms that we
were not allowed to talk about that game. So I
figured we just start with it, and that way, if
they have to edit it out of the show, it's
nice off top. But yeah, that was something else. Both
schools find one hundred grand too for the Francas afterwards too.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
That's a that's a big fun And I don't know
if you saw, but it was rivalry weak. There was
a bunch of teams just going at it over a flag,
you know, so maybe we had to get the flag
out of there. But also people just not need to
know how to lose.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
It was a trend, wasn't it.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
It was a trend. It was a tread.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
What about the win over the Saints. Let's talk NFL
now in the Los Angeles Rams or should we start?
Maybe you always said at halftime, what did it feel
like to be shut out down? Six zero?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:45):
But also I sense like a quiet confidence that you
knew you had the formula to get going offensively.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah, we knew we had the formula. I mean, the
offensive line was coming out fire and we're running the
ball really well. You know, we just were able to
put points on the board. In the first half, we
knew we were driving. We were driving. We went four
and fourth down, you know, probably could have kicked the
field goal, but that's the belief that you know, coach
McVay has on us. But you know, halftime, we kind
of just regrouped, you know, let's continue to doing the
(02:11):
things that are working in terms of the run schemes,
and then we got the pass game going along, and
you know that second half we came out, you know,
firing and were able to you know, get the.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Dub best rushing day of the season specifically for the Rams.
One fifty six on the ground and limited snaps, limited possessions.
What do you think went into it? What were the
key ingredients?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Yeah, I think the week's work. You know, we came in,
you know, Coach McVay talked to us, and you know
it was really just putting our heads down and going
to work, you know, treating each and every day as
their own entity, you know, and starting Wednesday, we had
a great practice. Thursday we had a great practice, and
then it led into you know above the next Friday
and Saturday. But we were able to go out there
(02:51):
Sunday and do it. But you know, it started in
the trenches, you know, with our offensive line and our
defensive line. You know, they're they're the ones that you know,
the term and if we're going to win or not.
And they did a phenomenal job yesterday. And as you said,
you know, one hundred and fifty six yards Russian, you
know that's saluted them and the tight ends and the
receivers you know, blocking, So.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
You kind of make the segue for us there. I
want to ask you about having some semblance of stability
on that offensive line. Let's just say the most that
the Rams have enjoyed so far in this twenty fourth season.
From a running back standpoint, how vital is that? How
do you sense that?
Speaker 2 (03:23):
You know, it's very vital, you know, just knowing you know,
we have got our guys back. You know, they have
been you know, some guys missed a lot of games
and beginning the season, but we have everyone back, you know,
and so that consistency, you know, building that trust within
them and them trusting us. You know, I think it
allows us just to go out there and play ball.
No one. We're going to hit our spots and and
make things happen. So you know, it's it's crucial that
(03:45):
you know, we have our guys back.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Do you think people on the outside, like me, maybe
underrate how important that synchronicity, that time on task is
as a unit.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Yeah, I believe so. I believe so in the you know,
it's very important, you know, And I say trust because
that's the biggest thing, you know, trusting that you know,
the offensive line are going to come off on their blocks,
and trusting that we're going to be, you know, in
the position to make them right. They make big plays.
So I think it's crucial that you know, we are
in sync, you know, and that starts in practice.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Like what was that week like with Karen? You mentioned
how good the practices were, Like, it's no mystery. He
was clearly working through a tough stretch. He's had a
great two year burst here, but this this last month
maybe not his finest hour. How did you see that
play out of the course of the week, and and
what did Karen do to put himself in position to
thrive again against the Saints?
Speaker 2 (04:35):
You know, I think, you know, just a little adversity,
you know, and I think it was just a little
bit of fuel to the fire, right, you know, having
a couple of games where he may have fumbled, but
you know, we all know he's a phenomenal back, you know,
and he didn't have to change much, just be himself,
you know, and so you know, he just attacked practice,
attack meetings the way that Karen does. You know, he
has a great enthusiasm, you know, a great competitor, and
(04:59):
I think we I saw that, you know, yesterday, just
the type of competitor he is. You know, he kind
of put that behind him and knew, you know, he
just had to take care of the ball a little bit,
and he did that yesterday, and he hit a phenomenal game.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
You know, after that closing stretch on defense, he gets
that first down run for a fresh set of downs
and that's ball game right there. And he does it
right in front of your sideline. You see Sean McVay
react like, did that facial expression? Did that celebration kind
of exude exactly the temperament that you're talking about, I think.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
So, you know, he felt it all game. You know,
he was breaking off runs, he was running hard, and
that last run, you know, it was a great run.
You know, it looked like he might have been stopped
for a second, and then he bounced it and gave
a stiff arm to the dB. But you know he
was feeling it. You know, he felt his confidence, You felt,
you know, his energy, and I think the team was
feeding off that.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I want to ask you about fumbling because when I
watch you guys practice, not a day goes by that
running backs don't work on ball security. Like I know
how intentional you are about it, and so when it happens,
it's gotta be like this. I have recurring nightmares about
certain things in profession. What's it like to be running
back and lose possession of that football.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
It's tough. You know, It's like your heart drops because
you're trying to find it to recover it. And then
once you realize you know you didn't recover it, it's like, dang,
I just let my team down. But you know, the
whole time, you know that your team has your back,
you know. And that's what I love about this group
of guys is because you know football, we're going to
make mistakes, right you know, it's a game. At the
end of the day. We're gonna make mistakes. It's just
(06:28):
how you respond. But you know, Coach g does a
phenomenal job at you know, making sure we do those
bass security drills each and every day, even when we're
just playing cats, you know, Tucket Tucket, you know, but
y'all other arm on the ball. You know, we're just
playing cats, you know. But you know it's heart dropping,
you know, because you feel like you left you you
let your team down. But it's all about how you respond.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
You mentioned coach g there. I've had a chance to
observe Ron Gould's teams and running backs for many years
college football here on the West Coast, now in the
National Football League with the Rams. What's it like being
a part of his room. I don't feel like we've
talked about him much on this show or others.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
It's great. You know. He comes in each and every
day early. You know, he might be the first one here.
He telling me. You get here like three thirty in
the morning. I'm like, coach, do you sleep? You know,
But you know he's here to put in work. You know,
he gets his work out in and gets in the
sign of but he just comes in each and every day,
you know, the same. He's consistent, you know, with great energy,
great enthusiasm. He's just a down to earth human being,
(07:26):
a great man, and he's you know, the head of
our running back room and the reason we all have
great relationships within the running back room and want to
play for each other.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
So we're going to circle back to that early alarm
clock in just a second, because I've heard you have
a reputation for being an early riser too. But before
we leave the twenty four rams running back room, I
wonder what it's like for you to be in a
backup role or a complimentary capacity, Like, when's the last
time that was the case for you as a football
player ever?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Oh, yeah, there wasn't time. Covid year, we're kind of
rotating three or four backs in Michigan playing played six
games and then sophomore year I was a backup to
Son Haskins, but we were both getting our fair share.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Yeah you were making that, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
We were getting our fair share. So this is really
the first time that you know, I have that backup role,
and you know, it's great, you know it's great. Obviously
you know that competitive me. I want to be out there,
you know, toting that rock. But you know, as a
team player, I'm doing whatever I can to make sure
my team wins, right, whether that be you know, left
wing on punt or you know, kickoff return, you know, kickoff,
(08:35):
trying to go down, make a tackle, you know, whatever
the team needs me to do to win. And that's
what I told him coming in. I'm here to do
and uh, you know, I just you know, do my role.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
You were the wing man for Jordan Winnington this week.
I got a couple of great returns. It was nice
to see that what was maybe what was going on
behind the scenes that led to that opportunity to have
the Rams have a breakout game on kick return.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Yeah. I keep going back to a practice, you know,
and coach Chase, he does a phenomenal job at scheming
up the teams and scheming up great returns. And we
knew these were going to hit, you did. We knew it.
We knew it all week just based off of what
the Saints did. But you know, he had some great
returns and like I said, they started to practice, we
knew where they were going to hit. And he hit
(09:17):
him full speed. You hit him full speed. He was
making people miss. I think he even jumped over someone.
You know. You know, Jordan Winnington, he's a phenomenal player.
You know, I'm glad I was able to be his
off returner and get a little block out there.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yeah. Yeah, nice to see him playing healthy again. He
too the Texas Longhorns with a rivalry win. Going back
to our college football conversation, where do you think, Blake
you've grown the most from whether it's the off season
program or training camp to now. Like you talked about
waiting your turn and how anxious you are for your
opportunities and you capitalize on some yesterday. But what's happened
(09:49):
behind the scenes to put yourself in a better position
to impact the NFL football?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Yeah, I think my football IQ. Just knowing where my
blocks are going, you know, treating coach he always says this,
but treat each player as its own entity, right, you
know it's outside zone or wide zone, you know, knowing
where it should hit where, but where it could possibly hit.
Where's my B block going and things like that. So, uh,
(10:14):
just my football IQ and knowing the schemes that the
defense are running and where my blocks are going to be.
So I would say that's the biggest thing for me,
just getting a grasp of the actual offense.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
But because of who you played for and the amount
you played in college. Didn't you already have like a
running start in that regarde ahead of the game.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Yeah, I definitely did. I think, you know, Coach Harball,
you know, the offense that we we had at Michigan
was phenomenal. But our offensive line, our tight ends, we
were so good. We only ran a couple of plays.
You know, we only ran a couple of runs just
because they worked so well. We didn't have to do
too much where you know, this offense, uh, you know,
(10:54):
it's a lot of bigger playbook. So just knowing where
my blocks are going in different refronts and things like that,
you know, that's where I've grown the most.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
What is your favorite run concept? Like, if you could
set the defense up to give you whatever look you
wanted and whatever play call, where do you think you thrive?
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Probably anything where I can keep my shoulder square, So
will it that be duo rewinds. Anything where I can
look at the defense straight ahead. I know I can
go each and any anyway. Those are my favorite runs.
I feel like, just my short area of quickness and
my versatility, you know, that's where I thrive.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
I think you would have killed it in the snow
and Buffalo. I don't know if you were watching that
game on the plane home, but the Niners and the
Bills were having a field day on the ground Birthday
in those conditions.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Oh they were you know, snow angels and all. You know,
they were having a blast out there. You know. The Bills,
you know, they kind of put it away early. You know,
I'm definitely excited to get a chance to play them
this week.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
You know, LA's had a couple of chances now to
get to five hundred and the breakthrough to kind of
become that that winning team. Here's another chance to level
up right against a real Super Bowl contender. Your thoughts
on Buffalo coming to Sofi Stadium and really the larger
chance that the Rams have within the division these final
five weeks.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yeah, I think it starts with one, and we got
that one yesterday. So I think we just need to,
you know, continue to put our heads down, continue to
work this week, and go into you know Sunday, you know,
confident that we're going to beat the Bills. But like
I said, it's all going to go back to the work.
You know, we did it when the Vikings came in
and they were undefeated, and we gave them their first
(12:32):
l So I think, you know, we have the team,
we have the players, we have the coaches to do it,
and I think we will. But it's going to start
with the great weeks of work.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
As many times as you've referenced that great week of work.
The one thing we haven't talked about last week your birthday.
You're twenty fourth, happy, belated.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
I appreciate that. Appreciated, old man.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
No, not true. Is it ever a bummer to like
have a birthday as a football player during football season
because you just blow right past it. No, it's great.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
You know, it's great, you know, getting to celebrate with
your teammates and even sometimes my birthdays on Thanksgiving, you know,
so you know you're gonna get a great meal. But
now it's great, you know, being in the facility doing
something that I love, doing something I've been doing since
six years old. You know, it doesn't get better than that.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Yeah, thanks for bringing up Thanksgiving because I want to
talk about giving back to give thanks. You were the
Community service Man of the Year at Michigan. There's what
now a four year running YEP tradition that you have
using money you've generated from your name, image, likeness to
give back to that community. Tell us about that effort.
You know, it was.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
My sophomore year. I met a guy named the Law
earlier that summer at the summer camping Ipsilanti, and I
told him what I wanted to do, you know, and
IO just started. You know, I was making a couple
of dollars. And then my parents instilled to me that
you know, always give back, you know, always give back.
And I wanted to do a turkey drive and so
but Law he was like, let's do it, you know.
(13:56):
And that first year we did two hundred turkeys, and
it was great. I was going around knocking on people's door,
you know, getting to be there in the community, being
able to hear people's stories, getting to see them smile,
and that's what it's all about. Then the next year
we did four hundred, and then the last two years
we've been able to do six hundred. And even though
I wasn't able to be there because we were playing
a game, I formed such a great friendship within that community.
(14:20):
So many people came out and helped my brother's keeper.
You know, below AFC and Arbor, they all were there
handing out turkey's and it was a great event. They
were sending me videos of everyone in the community, people smiling,
and I'm like, you know, that's what it's about, you know,
using this platform to help others, And like I always
tell everyone, you know, football's my passion, but giving back
to my purpose and I truly believe that.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Yeah, so you referenced your parents. I want to talk
about them in a second kind of instilling that in you.
You told me before we got started, there's another big
name in the professional football landscape who formed how you
handle finances and how you're using your resources here early
in your professional career. Would you mind sharing that with
our audience?
Speaker 2 (14:57):
I thought, oh, yeah, Marshawn Lynch. You know, he was
one of my favorite running backs, you know, watching growing up.
And it's pretty cool because Coach g coached him at Cow.
But he always said, you know, take care of your chicken,
you know. And you know, I was blessed to be
in a situation in college where you know, and I
just started and I made a good amount of money.
So coming into the NFL, something I learned from him,
(15:20):
it was like, don't spend your NFL checks, right, don't
spend your NFL earnings. And so you know, for the
next couple of years at least, you know, I'm living
off of what I made in college, you know, and
just going to put the NFL checks away. Let that
stack up, let that build. But yeah, the great Marshall
lens he taught me something.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Yeah, thanks for sharing that, because look, I think we
all agree like college players deserve part of what they're generating, right,
and so it's good to see that. But it is
kind of driving this transfer portal era, which I understand
doesn't sit well with all college fans. So to hear
two dimensions of the other part of it, with you
giving back to the community in Michigan and how you're
setting yourself up for future success, I just of that.
(16:00):
I think that's really important to say. All right, let's
pivot here to the wind down presented by Sleep Number,
and each week on RAMS Revealed, we get insight into
how sleep and recovery impacts performance in the National Football League. Blake,
you mentioned that your position coach is an early riser.
I've read that you are too, or at least you've
been known to wake up early at points in your career.
(16:20):
True or false?
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Very true?
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Okay, let's go back in time Marshall, Virginia. Do I
have the hometown correction Virginia, Okay, described as a rural
town outside of DC. And you're a self described country boy,
How might people know you're from the country.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Uh? I got a big twenty five hundred Chevy Silverado
Diesel outside I'm in Cali. What am I doing with that?
You know, it's not like I'm working, you know, blue
collar worker. I play football. But you know, if you
just look at my dad, you know the work that
he does. You know, that's that's how I consider myself
country blue collar.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
M You and here are in business together in a
way we are. Tell us about that in Deva real.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Estate, real estate. I started getting into real estate my
dad and I maybe junior year of college. We purchased
the first house and now we're up to six and
these are rental properties. So we're getting some cash flow
from from all our properties, and you know, we're just
going to continue to do it. You know, that's something
that we both love and it's a great investment at
(17:23):
the end of the day, you know. So you know,
I'm glad that. You know, even though I'm kind of
behind the scenes, I'm not hands on because of where
I live and what I do. He's out there working
each and every day, you know, on those along with
you know, the other side of his business. But you know,
it's it's definitely fun doing it with my dad.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
So Blake, growing up where you did, but then seeing
the talent that you had, like you and your family
clearly made a commitment to pour into this and to
take football as far as it would go. So where
I get the early morning wake up calls, I read
that as early as three thirty am. As a prep
you would drive eight hours round trip to the private
school and Dryland where you start stopping along the way
(18:02):
so you could hit the trainer before you got to school.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Yeah, so I wouldn't say I drove eight hours round trip.
That was more so my parents. But yeah, we would
wake up around three point thirty maybe four every morning
my freshman and sophomore year of high school. Because like
I said, I'm from a small town. Not too many
people get, you know, athletic scholarships where I live, and
so we knew we had to go somewhere else, and
(18:26):
so we decided to go to private school in Maryland. Yeah,
so I would stop training with my trainer Raymond, Washington,
and then we would head on down to Maryland. Uh weller,
my mom or dad drem me that day, but they
drive all the way back two hours, go to work,
come back that evening in rush hour, pick me up,
and then we would go on home. And we did
(18:47):
that for two years, and it paid off because at
the end of my freshman year, I believe I had
probably fifteen scholarships, and then end of my sophomore year,
I was probably up to twenty five. And then we
came to a conclusion like, all right, this is becoming
a little bit of a lot, big sacrifice that my
parents and sisters had to, you know, put up with.
And so they were like, come back home to go
(19:08):
to public school. I'm like, no, I don't want to
do that. So I transferred down to Saint Francis Academy
in Baltimore, where I stayed, and we were a powerhouse.
We flew out here, played Modern Day, played IMG. We
were just flying everywhere and playing good teams. And it
actually helped me because it was good on good. So
when I got to college, it wasn't much of a
difference at all.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
You ended up being the State player of the year.
In twenty nineteen, you earned your opportunity at Michigan, which,
apart from football, is also significant to that family backstory
that you've referenced. Now you're a first generation college student
and your sister's following in your footsteps.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Two, I understand they sure are Ones a softball pitcher
at VSU, and then Ones just got to college at BCU,
So you know, we're first generation. When I was first
to do it and my sisters were following amazing.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
You become a two time All American Big Ten Player
of the Year, MVP of the national championship win over Washington,
and you're Michigan's all time leader in rushing touchdowns fifty
eight single season record twenty seven. You hit peyterr at
least one time in each of your last twenty six
college games. So here's what I'm building toward. How much
do you miss the end zone?
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Well? I missed it a lot, you know, and I
know it has to be coming soon because I know
the end zone misses me, you know. But you know
Coach G calls it Fruitville, you know. So if Coach
G's gonna watch this, I'll be getting into Fruitville soon
because I'm missing some fruit and like I said, fruit's
missing me.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Do you feel like you are getting it told? Like,
I was great to see Kyeren thrive, but you were
right there, yeah, you know, kind of teaming with him,
and I can't help but think like that's the best
form of the Rams rushing attack for these final five games.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Yeah, you know it was. It was awesome because I
felt like we were feeding off each other. Yesterday, you know,
I was in and Kyen you know, went like seventy
yards and two drives, you know, and it was just
awesome the energy that we were able to balance off
each other and the offense was just thriving. But like,
it's not about you know, who scores. You know, at
the end of the day, it's about winning. You know,
That's all I care about because winning is fun. You know,
(21:10):
Losing sucks. Let's just let's just be real and so, uh,
you know, as much as I want to get into
the end zone, you know, if we're winning, hey who cares?
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Yeah, but still it's good to know that it misses
you as much as because when it happens, that'll make
it all the sweeter.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Yeah, she talks to me. She talks to me. Come on,
come on, get in here. But uh, you know I'll
be there soon. But you know, I know my time's coming.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
One last thing before we let you go to your
week of preparation for the Buffalo Bills. We got some
real baseball fans in the room, so they saw your
first pitch at the Tigers game, and the video framing
was such that we couldn't tell strike. Okay, I want
to set the record straight. Right, do you celebrate? You
gave it a little punctuation, all right, So that was
a strike. Strike.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
You know, baseball was my first sport.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
To what level? How did you take it?
Speaker 2 (22:00):
But we had a phenomenal baseball team. We all stick
together from when we were young all the way up.
Traveled played at cal Ripkin played. Uh and what's the
what's the where's the Hall of Fame? At Cooperstown? We
played at Cooperstown and I got my pens. I hit
a grand slam.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
I was grand slim.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Yeah, Cooperstown, Liberstown, New York, hit a grand slam. Uh,
I got all my pens that we traded with teams
from all over. Uh. You know, baseball was first sport.
You know I was a catcher. You know, no one
could steal on me. Pop time was crazy, but uh no,
baseball was fun. So just being able to uh you know,
Detroit had me on through that first pison. And also
I became pretty good friends with Derek Jeter uh along
(22:40):
my career in Michigan because he was community of Michigan
and whatnot, and so, uh it was It's pretty cool.
We talked here and there. But uh, you know, he's
one of the great So when I first got to
meet him, like, dang, this is really Derrey Peter.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Like twenty five minutes into this, he just casually dropping
the conversation.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Geter ball in my house, you know. But it was awesome.
But that was a strike.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
It was all right. We got to get you to
Schevez Reviuni, next to home of the raigning World Series champions.
Oh yeah, next offseason.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:07):

with Fair's amazing artistic talent. Your whiteboard sketch for each
of our guests. So we just present this to you.
We'll have your autograph it on your way out.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
But it is awesome.
Speaker 1 (23:19):

on the show. Looks like me and the Rose.
Speaker 2 (23:26):

stadiums out there.
