00:02 - A big one in SoFi on Sunday.
00:05 The Rams hosting the Eagles.
00:07 Philly, that other unbeaten team
00:09 still remaining in the National Football League.
00:11 The Birds, a four and a half point favorite
00:13 on the road in Los Angeles.
00:15 The total at 49 and a half.
00:17 Cooper Cup, expected to be back for LA.
00:20 DRS, what's your assessment of this game
00:23 in Los Angeles on Sunday?
00:25 - I still feel confident in the Philadelphia Eagles,
00:27 but also getting a late report this morning here.
00:29 It looks like that Cooper Cup probably is going to play
00:31 and start in this football game,
00:32 which again, leads you to Nukua now moving
00:34 maybe on the outside more,
00:36 so more weapons here for Matthew Stafford.
00:38 More weapons, I mean, they've been looked incredible
00:40 on offense, particularly in the passing game.
00:43 The one thing we know about the Philadelphia Eagles,
00:45 fantastic pass rush, linebackers that you may be able
00:48 to exploit a little bit here in the pass game.
00:49 We'll see if they can use the tight end Higby
00:51 in that situation, but I really wanna look
00:53 at the cornerback position here.
00:55 When you look at the NFL,
00:56 it's great to have two very good cornerbacks,
00:58 which the Philadelphia Eagles do.
00:59 Typically on the outside, it's gonna be Slay and Bradbury,
01:02 where the Eagles really had that advantage
01:03 was Avante Maddox, one of the better slot corners
01:06 in football, was manning there.
01:07 So you say, wow, that's maybe the best tandem
01:09 of quarterbacks for a threesome there
01:11 that you could possibly get in the NFL.
01:13 Now, having said that, Avante Maddox isn't there.
01:16 How does the offense eat for the Los Angeles Rams?
01:19 It eats out of the slot,
01:20 which means you're gonna have a lot of guys
01:21 like Josh Jobe one-on-one with Cooper Cup or Puke Nukua.
01:25 That's not gonna be a recipe for success
01:27 for the Philadelphia Eagles.
01:28 I'm very interested in Shonda Sy,
01:30 how he comes up with a strategy to try to defend that,
01:32 because this is going strength on weakness here,
01:35 it seems like.
01:35 Now, granted, the Eagles are talented
01:37 at one offense and defense,
01:38 where they still should win this game,
01:39 but this is a real interesting thing to line up,
01:41 not only because Nukua's been sensational,
01:44 but does that flow get interrupted
01:45 just a little bit with Cooper Cup?
01:46 It sounds stupid to say that,
01:47 because Cup might be one of the best, if not the best,
01:50 slot wide receiver in football, and by a wide margin,
01:52 but we wouldn't know that for the first few weeks,
01:54 'cause of how Nukua was doing.
01:56 I'm interested in that matchup.
