00:00So how do you feel about the Rams decision making heading into this game?
00:03Again, it's a little bit different once you already have that home playoff game secured
00:07You can probably say to yourself, you know what we're gonna be home
00:10Anyway, whether it's in another game
00:11I don't think you really want to pick your opponent at that point because rest in the nfl is so important
00:16It's why we always talk about hey coming off the bye week
00:18This team's played four straight weeks. This team is awful
00:20Bye, that is a massive advantage even more massive at the end of the year
00:24Like you can arrest a veteran like matthew stafford puka naku is that the aches the pains all season long an extra week?
00:30We don't even know we're seeing out of cooper coupling this season
00:32Who knows if he was injured but getting him an extra week off and also understanding this when you pull yourself out of the equation
00:38You're no longer game planning for that week
00:40You're on to the playoffs and already getting your entire organization
00:43Set on maybe one or two football teams that you can pinball an eye when maybe that other organization doesn't get the same opportunity
00:50Yeah last year they had to go right to the end right they they were trending towards the end of the regular season this year
00:56They they get the opportunity to take a buy and I agree with donny because they're a mass unit
01:00Basically cooper cup is basically on one leg. So is puka and matt stafford could always use extra rest
01:06So for that team an aging team in certain areas
01:10I think the rest is important for them matching up in terms of whoever they match up
01:14In in the first round of the playoffs, so I agree with that again this game today. I mean seven points
01:20It's jimmy g you want to take a shot play quorum and some of those backups probably choo choo atwell demarcus robinson
01:27And maybe some of the tight ends. I mean that's a potential pretty good
01:30Look, but I still think maybe you get points in this matchup
01:33I took the rams team total at 14 and a half jimmy garoppolo though. Again. We talk about backup quality
01:38He certainly has it last year, uh with carson wentz going out there
01:41We saw the rams win that football game
01:43We saw them score 21 points in that football game
01:46And I I think that garoppolo can go out there and give a similar look for seattle
01:50The season is over, right? So i'm not sure you you know, gino's gonna be throwing all game
01:54He's he got one of the incentives, uh for the day is tied to some gino smith numbers
01:59So you'll see gino throwing I really like the rams team total at 14 and a half minus 112
02:04Uh was the juice on that I I do feel very good again
02:06I just I I find it very fascinating to see how the la rams are going to be going about this where
02:11I think for them donnie, maybe a little bit
02:14And again, this is why this is part of the reason we were so hard maybe on dan campbell
02:18Yeah, where the rams go if we lose
02:21and the bucks win
02:23We're going to be playing the vikings or lions who are coming off of game of the year knock them drag them out
02:29Massive battle and we get the upper hand in that football game and for the rams probably not scared of anybody
02:36You know, I was talking about one of our producers pre-show right, you know active quarterbacks with a super bowl
02:42I think it's just mahomes and stafford man
02:44Like mcveigh like that is a one-two combination that'll take their chances with anybody
02:48Absolutely, and it's a smart decision when you have the key veteran players that could really need a break
02:53That's what you're going to do because you are refreshed and you're at home
02:56You don't have to travel the following you have to go across country
02:59The other team's got to go cross country to come play you whenever I look at the future of a team
03:04It's can you win the super bowl or not? And how do you put your best foot forward here going after it?
03:09That's the way to do it
03:10So for me always rest above unless you're looking to actually play a team like the texans you think you can beat
03:16Otherwise forget about it. Yeah, we'll see how that game plays out, but it's interesting different approaches curious
03:23Yep again, and I think it is what it will there will be a level of confirmation bias
03:28Next week. Yeah, right. Yeah, then the criticism will come out. Yeah
