Why NFL Legends Think the Rams Will Win The Big Game

Welcome back to cheddar beds brought to you by bet mgm the game on sunday is going to be decided by the matchups. Zac taylor versus Sean McVeigh Jamaar Chase versus Jalen Ramsey O line versus D line experience versus new kids on the block and who knows these matchups better than the guys who won. There's on the biggest stage I caught up with Hall of Famer, Terrell Davis and future, Hall of Famer Hines Ward to get a couple of the games. MVPs takes on sunday's action. Take a look. I think there's, there's plenty of ways you can get it done, but I think ultimately it's gonna come down to what we've seen in the, you know, last year we saw the Bucks who had a defensive line that just overwhelmed the Chief's Office of line. I think the rams defense, the front is like that, they're just relentless. And of course, you know, you're talking about the Bengals offensive line that's been leaky, it's been saggy and so uh there's opportunities right there for them to win that game. And I think ultimately the rams just have enough veterans on their team and guys who are, who are thirsty guys who are just hungry for a championship. And I'm not saying the Bengals have guys who are less hungry, but they're younger and I remember being in both positions when I was younger and you know, one that game and uh, you know, sometimes you think you think the opportunities will come back more. So sometimes you might not have a little bit of juice there, but this game go either way, but I'm certainly pulling more for the ramps and I think the ramps pull this one off Heinz jumping over to you. Now Zac Taylor's Pats are becoming the Bengals head coach was largely paved by his time under Sean McVey. We know Taylor joined the rams in 2017 as their assistant wide receivers coach before moving to quarterbacks coach in 2018. So from your own coaching experience, how does Taylor's history with McVeigh affect his confidence and overall execution of the big game? Well, I think one you kind of know what Sean McVeigh likes to do offensively. So I'm pretty sure you go into the defensive room, hey, these are his go to place, you know, these are the plays that he likes on third down or in the red zone. So you kind of got to the edge because you've been under him, you know, you kind of, you know how he called plays, you know how some of the things that he likes, so I give that advantage. The Cincinnati, the problem is they just don't have enough dudes, you know, they've got some great up and coming dudes. But when you look at Aaron Donald von Miller, Jalen Ramsey Cooper Cup, O. B. J. Matthew Stafford the list goes on and on and on when you have play makers and stars like that, you lean on them heavy heavily especially and the Super Bowl because you know the role players, they're gonna do their things, they just can't try to do too much, but you lean on you, you go to guys who have gotten you to the point all the way up to this point to get you over that hump and win the championship. So to me, I just think uh veteran wise, star, power wise, the RAMs win because of the players that they have on their team. Terrell jumping back to you. You just talked about, you know, the veterans on the rams there, a loaded team with vets and the Bengals are more than new kids on the block. What advantages and disadvantage to each of these teams have on each other just based on experience alone. Yeah. You know, the the experience thing is um you don't always say the experience only matters if you make it matter. You hear a lot of talking to people about people saying well this team doesn't have the experience of Super Bowl, you know, the week and what the process is like and it does, it's different and and it does take some adjusting and getting used to, but I think what the Bangles advantages that they are super young and sometimes you don't know what you don't know and they've got this mentality led by joe burrow that they don't care. They like the new kids on the block, they gotta, they have a swag a swagger about them confidence, so they're a good team and they deserve to be here. I just think the rams and I think a little bit their experience with my head coach for the Super Bowl. You know I think it was four years ago wherever they went. I think that experience is going to be the difference in this game. You know after Sean McVeigh left that game realizing that he was not the same coach during that game and the patriots made you know they had something to do with that. But I think as a coach you leave that game said we're gonna lose we're gonna leave we're gonna lose being ourselves we're not gonna lose trying to do something that we're not used to doing. And the rams change the whole game planning for that game and they just they they lost. So I think that's going to benefit them in a game like this. Terrell are you worried at all about the matchup between the since SEO line and the rams D line? I'm actually excited about that matchup because I think that's that's where they can probably have some success there and try to exploit that offensive line. That's been leaky. We you know we saw the last two games even though the Chiefs didn't get to him that they got to him they didn't get him down and burrow was you know he was Houdini and made some plays. Yeah you just you know you are who you are, who you are and I think the rams will be able to devise a game plan to put the one on one matches they like in favor, you know, maybe some stunts up front to really put pressure and contained joe burrow and in a game like that, when you lose that battle, if that's the battle you lose, I have yet to see a team win the game with that battle being lost. And I think that's a critical piece of this puzzle. Think about the rams that they were so impressive that they can get out there quarterback just rushing in for guys. So when you can get after the quarterback and not having to bring an extra defender in the box, it just makes it harder for the opposing quarterbacks because you have an extra body that's in coverage. So that's what the rams do. That's so impressive. If they're able to get after joe burrow was just rushing for guys, it's gonna be a tough day for for Cincinnati to go out and execute in the passing game. Hines, you're an all time great wide receiver who impresses you more cooper Cup or demarches man. That's a tough one than cooper Cup man guy. Listen questions. Don't answer the question, son, don't don't don't straddle the fence but dang it. I'm going with Tamara changed their, I love you, so young, so energetic man, The kid has all the swag. I'll be, I'm, to be honest, Jalen Ramsey versus chase. That's gonna be the matchup that I'm looking for. If I'm sitting here eating popcorn, watching the big game, I'm gonna be super excited to see that matchup, that's like one of those matchups you want front row tickets, you want to see them go head to head, it should be competitive.
