    Rams All Access

    JB and D’Marco looked back on the loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and how the Rams let a “winnable game” get away. Also, the duo reacted to the team letting Pharoh Cooper go after making the Pro Bowl last season and signing CJ Anderson to be Todd Gurley’s backup heading into the playoffs. Plus, reaction to the Pro Bowl rosters being announced. And, ESPN NFL Nation Reporter Josh Weinfuss joined JB and D’Marco during “4 Down Territory” to preview the Rams’ next opponent, the Arizona Cardinals.

    This is really good.

    The best take on the Rams, over and over, is the Long/Farr combo.

    IMO.

    That was good. Informative. Serious discussion, on point.

    NFL-focused TV shows seem not to do that anymore. They want to “entertain” us, and seem to have a very low opinion of our intelligence these days.

    Going down memory lane a bit, I remember really liking Frank Gifford’s pregame show when I was a kid. Serious, intelligent, covered everything of import, at least to me. This was before he joined MNF. I also really liked Brookhiser and Summarall on the games themselves. They never tried to dumb things down for the audience and made the games seem essential, dramatically relevant. If memory serves, and it often doesn’t, I think CBS dumped Brookhiser because he questioned the refs in one game. There was probably a lot more to it than that, but I was greatly disappointed when they dumped him. I think Madden replaced him, and that may have been a turning point for the quality of coverage.

    Madden “entertained” the audience. He treated the audience as if it couldn’t handle serious discussion of the game.

    The morning show on NFL network is unwatchable for me, because it’s all “entertainment” now. Very low expectation that the audience can handle anything above a third grade level, it seems.

    Oh, well.

    Again, good podcast.

    Oh, and, yeah. Johnson was robbed of a Pro Bowl spot. He’s played really, really well this year. I’d have Woods higher too. He may be the FA pickup that surprised everyone in the most positive way. Exceeded expectations by a ton. Suh and Peters, OTOH . . . .

    Which reminds me: I’d use Suh as a fullback at this point on short yardage, goal-line, and maybe on some first downs, to throw the D off. Get more out of him than he’s given so far on D. He might actually exert more effort as a result.
