Vollständiges Transkript von Rams Dominance: Five Takeaways from the Saints Shutout

play by play, Bennett's drives faced some 75 00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:18.919 very specific, really frustrating adversity up front. 76 00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:21.599 That's a fair point. The offensive line definitely had some 77 00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:25.560 self inflicted wounds. Yeah, the penalties, right, Blake Hans committed 78 00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:29.520 a false start penalty that stalled Bennett's very first drive oouch. 79 00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:32.520 And then on the second series, Bill Murray had another. 80 00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:34.080 False start and that one was in the red zone. Way. 81 00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:37.080 Yeah, that one was particularly damaging because it happened right 82 00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:40.439 down at the Saints eight yard line. It ultimately forced 83 00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:43.039 the Rams to settle for a twenty six yard field 84 00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:44.439 goal from Harrison MeVis. 85 00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:47.039 Settling for three when you're that close is tough. 86 00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:49.199 It is. And Bennett also had a moment where he 87 00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:52.120 nearly connected on a deep touchdown to Tyler Scott, but 88 00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:54.680 he slightly overthrew him. Scott had to stretch out his 89 00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:56.639 right arm and you know he could only get a 90 00:03:56.639 --> 00:03:57.199 hand on it. 91 00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:00.000 A false start in the red zone during the regular 92 00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:03.439 and can just be devastating, which makes me wonder what 93 00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:06.319 McVeigh is actually looking at on the film right, Like 94 00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:09.560 if an offensive explosion is nice but it includes these 95 00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:14.280 sloppy drive killing penalties. What is the coaching staff's real 96 00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:15.319 takeaway there? 97 00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:18.319 If we connect this to the bigger picture, McVeigh isn't 98 00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:22.399 walking away thinking his offense is flawless. He is evaluating 99 00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:23.920 the response. 100 00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:25.519 To the flaws ah the bounce back. 101 00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:28.560 Exactly when alignment jumps early and turns a first and 102 00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:32.240 ten into a first and fifteen, the entire geometry of 103 00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:34.680 the drive changes, the playbook shrinks. 104 00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:36.199 Is a defense knows you're backed. 105 00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:37.920 Up, right, they can just pin their ears back and 106 00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:41.600 play incredibly aggressively. So seeing a quarterback like Bennett overcome 107 00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:45.680 those specific line penalties, reset the huddle, process the setback, 108 00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:47.680 and still produce points. 109 00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:49.079 Like he did later when he hit Tyler Scott for 110 00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:51.160 that really impressive fourth down conversion. 111 00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:54.839 Yes, exactly, Yeah, that is the real evaluation metric. The 112 00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:57.680 coaching staff wants to see if a mistake just cascades 113 00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:00.600 into a turnover or if the quarterback can run the ship. 114 00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:04.759 So it's essentially a stress test. A perfectly blocked play 115 00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:08.240 where the primary receiver is just wide open, tells you 116 00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:10.439 very little about a quarterback's. 117 00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:11.920 Mental resilience almost nothing. 118 00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:13.680 You want the messy drive to see if the guy 119 00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:15.360 panics when the check engine light comes on. 120 00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:19.560 Navigating a messy pocket after your lineman jumps early provides 121 00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:23.920 incredibly valuable tape. It proves the quarterback can actually manage 122 00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:26.759 the operational mechanics of the offense under duress. 123 00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:28.800 That makes a lot of sense. But you know that 124 00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:31.480 offense didn't build a twenty seven point halftime lead in 125 00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:34.480 a vacuum, not at all. They were heavily aided by 126 00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:37.439 a defense that just absolutely suffocated the Saints at the 127 00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:38.079 line of scrimmage. 128 00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:39.279 You completely shut them down. 129 00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:42.839 Yeah, which provides an interesting contrast. While the offensive line 130 00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:46.639 was struggling with overthinking and false starts, the defensive front 131 00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:49.399 was doing the exact opposite. They were playing so fast 132 00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:53.399 and aggressive. And that brings us to outside linebacker Wesley Bailey. 133 00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:56.279 Bailey is a great story. He's an undrafted rookie out 134 00:05:56.279 --> 00:05:59.120 of the University of Louisville and his stat line for 135 00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:02.199 a rotational preseason player is phenomenal. 136 00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:03.240 What were his numbers again? 137 00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:07.079 He finished with five total tackles, one tackle for loss, 138 00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:10.720 three quarterback hits, a forced humble, and a sack on 139 00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:14.600 Zack Wilson in the first quarter. Wow yeah, he practically 140 00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:16.079 lived in the Saints backfield. 141 00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:19.759 Here's where it gets really interesting though. The physical play 142 00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:23.560 is obviously impressive, but the emotional core of his game 143 00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:25.240 just gives it so much weight. 144 00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:26.480 The sack celebration. 145 00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:31.600 Yes, after Bailey sacked Zack Wilson, He's

celebrated by making 146 00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:34.920 a heart with his hands and pointing up to the sky. 147 00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:38.000 He revealed in his postgame interview that he has finished 148 00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:43.800 every single sack with that exact celebration since twenty twenty one. Wow. Yeah. 149 00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:45.959 He does it to honor his late mother, who passed 150 00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:47.959 away when he was only five years old, and to 151 00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:49.279 honor his three sisters. 152 00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:51.439 Doing that on an NFL field, I mean it adds 153 00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:53.519 a profoundly human element to the game. 154 00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:54.240 It really does. 155 00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:56.519 When these athletes are just crashing into each other at 156 00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:59.439 high speeds, it's so easy to reduce them to jersey numbers. 157 00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:03.399 That sack celebration is a grounding reminder of the lifetimes 158 00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:07.040 of motivation, grief, and family history that these edge of 159 00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:08.959 the roster players carry on to the turf. 160 00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:12.399 It fuels the intensity you see on the field absolutely 161 00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:15.000 and you could really see that intensity. Later in the game, 162 00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:17.600 the Saints are marching down the field. They're getting right 163 00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:18.639 down to the Rams four. 164 00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:21.000 Yard line, a critical moment right and. 165 00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:24.279 Bailey runs up behind the ball carrier and just punches 166 00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:27.199 the ball out for a force fumble. It was recovered 167 00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:31.120 by Rams defensive lineman Peyton z Droike. I look at 168 00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:35.360 a play like that as a well, like a defensive. 169 00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:36.360 Hole on one defensive hole online. 170 00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:40.240 I like that, yeah, because erasing a guaranteed three points 171 00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:44.040 in the absolute toughest, most congested part of the field 172 00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:47.000 that changes the entire momentum of the game. 173 00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:50.800 The mechanics of that forced fumble speak volumes about his 174 00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:53.000 motor and his spatial awareness. 175 00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:54.279 Right to find the ball in that mess. 176 00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:56.360 Chasing a play down from behind and having the presence 177 00:07:56.399 --> 00:08:00.199 of mind to target the football in traffic requires relentless effort. 178 00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:02.839 He was so focused on creating chaos that he didn't 179 00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:06.199 even realize Zdroik had recovered the fumble until like ten 180 00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:07.879 minutes before his locker room interview. 181 00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:09.480 That's hilarious. He was just in the. 182 00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:13.360 Zone totally, and that ability to constantly disrupt the pocket 183 00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:15.800 is exactly why Sean McVay said after the game that 184 00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:18.600 you quote felt Bailey's presence all day. 185 00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:22.879 The timing of Bailey's emergence is also incredibly critical for 186 00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:26.040 the Rams right now given their current roster situation. 187 00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:29.480 Yeah, they are dealing with significant attrition on the edge. 188 00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:33.120 Outside linebacker Kre Thomas, the second who brings experience and 189 00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:35.840 played well in the preseason opener, he was ruled out 190 00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:39.000 with a groin injury. Right, And Daniel Rickert, a free 191 00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:41.799 agent they signed on August seventh, was also ruled out 192 00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:45.799 with a knee injury. Suddenly, the depth chart was looking very. 193 00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:48.919 Thin, which creates a perfect next man up scenario for 194 00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:50.159 an undrafted rookie. 195 00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:53.559 Like Bailey exactly. And Bailey had a relatively quiet game 196 00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:54.840 against the Chiefs last week. 197 00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:57.320 Yeah, just two tackles and a couple of pressures. Right. 198 00:08:57.519 --> 00:09:00.080 So, making the leap from that performance to dominating the 199 00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:04.120 Saints in a single week shows tremendous rapid adaptation to 200 00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:05.120 NFL game speed. 201 00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:06.840 Did he talk about what changed for him? 202 00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:09.840 He did. He credited the defensive line coach, the outside 203 00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:13.519 linebacker coach, and the defensive coordinator for that rapid adaptation. 204 00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:17.759 He specifically noted that they allowed him to play free. 205 00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:20.720 Playing free seems like the ultimate goal for a defense. 206 00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:23.120 I mean, if a player is out there overthinking his 207 00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:26.320 gap assignment or worrying about the playbook, his feet are 208 00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:27.320 just going to slow down. 209 00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:30.440 When a coaching staff can simplify the reads and tell 210 00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:35.039 an athletic rookie to just trust his eyes, the hesitation vanishes. 211 00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:38.080 It's all instincts at that point exactly. That is how 212 00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:41.559 you get a player to successfully use his leverage rip 213 00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:44.320 under a right tackles pads and flatten the arc to 214 00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:45.879 get to Zach Wilson. 215 00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:48.840 And that kind of front seven pressure. When you're disrupting 216 00:09:48.879 -->

00:09:51.440 the quarterback, it has a direct ripple effect on the 217 00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:52.360 rest of the defense. 218 00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:53.399 Oh completely. 219 00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:56.720 When the defensive line forces the issue, the secondary doesn't 220 00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:59.799 have to cover receivers for five or six seconds. Defensive 221 00:09:59.799 --> 00:10:03.279 back can take risks and jump routes, which sets up 222 00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:04.960 the most electrifying moment of. 223 00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:09.320 This deep dive safety Alex Cook's one hundred yard interception return. 224 00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:14.080 Yes late in the third quarter, Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler 225 00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:17.000 is operating out of the shotgun at the Rams six 226 00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:19.480 yard line. He tries to thread the needle to his 227 00:10:19.559 --> 00:10:22.799 tight end Traton Welch, but Alex Cook picks it off 228 00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:26.080 Wee's pass rattler and just takes it one hundred yards 229 00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:28.600 the other way for a pick six. Incredible point it was. 230 00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:31.759 And it wasn't just Cook shining back there either. Cornerback 231 00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:34.559 Alzillian Azy Hamilton grabbed an interception at the start of 232 00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:37.639 the second quarter, and Cam Lampkin had a great fourth 233 00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:38.639 down pass break up. 234 00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:41.080 Ohll secondary was eating Yeah. 235 00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:43.799 But Cook's journey to this moment is something out of 236 00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:44.600 a movie script. 237 00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:47.720 He has definitely taken the scenic route to the NFL. 238 00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:50.639 He's a California native from Sheldon High in Elk Grove, 239 00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:54.200 and he went undrafted in twenty twenty three. He spent 240 00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:57.679 time bouncing around the practice squads of the Giants, Panthers, 241 00:10:57.720 --> 00:10:58.759 and Bears. 242 00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:00.200 Just trying to stick somewhere exactly. 243 00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:02.360 And just two months ago he was playing in the 244 00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:05.399 UFL for the Birmingham Stallions, where he ended his season 245 00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:07.840 with a thirty yard pick six. He came to the 246 00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:10.399 Rams hoping to get one more pick six in the NFL, 247 00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:12.279 and then he goes out and runs one back one 248 00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:12.919 hundred yards. 249 00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:15.600 You can't write it any better, You really can't. 250 00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:18.360 So what does this all mean. It's one thing to 251 00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:20.440 get a lucky tipball that just kind of falls into 252 00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:22.759 your lap, but to read a play from the snap, 253 00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:25.200 secure the interception in the end zone, and run it 254 00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:27.519 back one hundred yards? I mean, is this a sign 255 00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:32.159 of superior football IQ? Or was Cook just in the 256 00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:34.799 right place at the right time because of a bad 257 00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:36.039 read by Spencer Ratler. 258 00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:40.120 What's fascinating here is Cook's post game breakdown of the play. Yeah, 259 00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:43.840 it completely answers that question, and it highlights immense processor speed. 260 00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:45.240 Really, what did he say? 261 00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:48.799 He literally walked reporters through the exact mechanics of what 262 00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:52.080 he saw. Because the rams were in cover, for Cook 263 00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:55.320 had responsibility for his deep quarter of the field at 264 00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:57.879 the snap, he felt the running back push out to 265 00:11:57.919 --> 00:12:01.240 the flat. Okay, instantly he died diagnosed the route combination. 266 00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:04.519 He felt the tight end pushing a vertical and breaking 267 00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:07.159 toward the sideline on a corner route which is often 268 00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:08.519 called a seven route right. 269 00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:11.399 And a lesser safety might panic and chase that deep 270 00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:13.679 corner route, which would then just open up the middle of. 271 00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:18.159 The field precisely, but Cook knew the overarching route concept. 272 00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:20.960 The Saints were running. He knew that the tight end's 273 00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:24.440 corner route was designed as bait ah to clear him 274 00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:26.320 out yeah, and that there would be a spot route 275 00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:28.840 coming underneath it to sit right at the goal line. 276 00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:32.720 So instead of taking the bait, Cook held his inside leverage. 277 00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:36.639 He stayed slightly inside the receiver, keeping his eyes firmly 278 00:12:36.679 --> 00:12:40.320 locked on Stencer Rattler's helmet, just reading the quarterback exactly. 279 00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:43.639 He waited for Rattler's eyes to progress from his first 280 00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:47.360 read to that underneath spot route. The split second Rattler's 281 00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:50.679 eyes shifted, Cook drove on the ball, jumped the route, 282 00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:52.600 caught it in stride, and took off. 283 00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:57.120 That is just wild. Processing the running back's flat route, 284 00:12:57.399 --> 00:13:00.799 identifying the tight end's corner route as bait, anticipating the 285 00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:04.679 underneath spot route, and reading the quarterback's helmet progression, all 286 00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:06.840 happening in the condensed space of the red zone in 287 00:13:06.879 -->

00:13:09.360 about what two and a half seconds barely even that. 288 00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:11.399 That is incredible processing speed. 289 00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:15.039 Doing all of that successfully requires a deep understanding of 290 00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:18.600 the offensive coordinator's intent. But what is even more remarkable 291 00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:22.440 is how seamlessly Cook transitioned into this defense, considering he 292 00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:23.919 only arrived on August seventh. 293 00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:26.480 That fast integration has to be aided by the familiar 294 00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:26.960 faces in. 295 00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:29.320 The building, though, Oh without a doubt, the. 296 00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:33.240 Rams' pass game coordinator and defensive backs coach is Jimmy Lake, 297 00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:36.759 who coached Cook at the University of Washington, and he's 298 00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:41.200 also reunited with his former college teammates, wide receiver Pukainakua 299 00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:42.960 and cornerback Trent McDuffie. 300 00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:46.039 Having your former college head coach running your current NFL 301 00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:50.080 meeting room flattens the learning curve tremendously. They already share 302 00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:51.320 a football vocabulary. 303 00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:53.320 You don't have to translate everything right. 304 00:13:53.320 --> 00:13:56.639 The defensive concepts aren't entirely foreign, which allows a journeyman 305 00:13:56.720 --> 00:14:00.240 off a UFL roster to bypass the overwhelming fase of 306 00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:03.720 learning a new playbook and immediately transition to playing fast 307 00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:05.240 and instinctual football. 308 00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:08.759 Cook actually mentioned that from his very first day he 309 00:14:08.840 --> 00:14:11.080 felt like he was part of the family. The way 310 00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:13.600 the entire defense swarmed him in the end zone after 311 00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:16.360 that one hundred yard return is a clear testament to that. 312 00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:20.879 It synthesizes the core message hidden within these sources. Really, 313 00:14:21.399 --> 00:14:23.960 we all know preseason games don't count in the official 314 00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:26.919 NFL standings, and years from now, nobody is going to 315 00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:30.000 recall the box score of this specific Rams Saints matchup. 316 00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:32.000 Probably not, but these. 317 00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:35.039 Games are incredibly meaningful for the players on the field 318 00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:38.320 and for evaluating the broader organizational philosophy. 319 00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:42.399 The culture Sean McVay has established in Los Angeles empowers 320 00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:46.480 players who might be overlooked elsewhere. A UFL practice squad, 321 00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:50.320 journeyman or an undrafted rookie can step into that facility 322 00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:52.399 and immediately feel trusted. 323 00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:54.679 They don't feel like outsiders exactly. 324 00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:57.840 They are put in a defensive system that encourages them 325 00:14:57.879 --> 00:15:02.799 to play free, which directly to the game changing, highly 326 00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:05.240 intellectual football plays we saw in this blowout. 327 00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:06.120 It's all connected. 328 00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:08.559 It really is. So to you listening right now. The 329 00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:10.559 next time you turn on a preseason game in August, 330 00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:12.840 don't just look at the final score or you know, 331 00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:15.399 focus on the starting quarterback wearing a headset on the sideline. 332 00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:18.559 Look deeper, yeah, Look for the undrafted rookie making a 333 00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:20.759 heart with his hands after a sack, fighting for a 334 00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:23.200 roster spot to honor his late mother. Look for the 335 00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:27.279 UFL call up diagnosing a complex red zone passing concept 336 00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:29.200 in two seconds to make the play of his life, 337 00:15:29.960 --> 00:15:33.039 because that is where the real raw football story lives. 338 00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:36.080 It really leaves you with a fascinating thought to ponder 339 00:15:36.440 --> 00:15:38.240 long after the final whistle blows. 340 00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:38.759 What's that? 341 00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:43.399 Well, if an undrafted UFL safety and an undrafted rookie 342 00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:47.039 linebacker can completely dismantle an NFL offense when they are 343 00:15:47.080 --> 00:15:49.519 finally put in a system that trusts them and allows 344 00:15:49.559 --> 00:15:52.919 them to play fast and free. Yeah, how much untapped 345 00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:55.879 game wrecking talent is currently sitting outside the league right now, 346 00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:59.120 driving ubers or playing in spring leagues, just waiting for 347 00:15:59.159 --> 00:16:01.720 the right coaching staff and the right defensive scheme to 348 00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:02.320 unlock them.
