00:03 The Rams have become a difficult one to trust for me.

00:06 >> I like them actually.

00:07 I think they're starting to come into form and

00:10 that's the biggest thing for me is that they have the quarterback.

00:12 They have the offensive line that is showing continuity in regards to running

00:16 the football.

00:16 Kyron Williams is out of that ball game, but Cooper Cup is in.

00:20 Pukenukuwo, Tutu, Atwell, they have the big three as far as I'm concerned.

00:24 And the defense, to your point, Kevin, still has Aaron Donald.

00:27 And a secondary giving up 219 passing yards per game.

00:31 That secondary, I think, has been the most impressive of this unit right now.

00:35 Not giving up a lot of chunk plays.

00:37 And when you look at this ball game against the second year quarterbacking

00:40 Kenny Pickett, without the rushing attack in terms of Najee Harris and

00:44 Jalen Warren, unless they get up over 100 today,

00:47 I don't think they're gonna win this ball game, Donnie.

00:49 I love the Rams at home in terms of this matchup.

00:52 >> And you rightfully so here.

00:53 When you think the Pittsburgh Steelers, what do you always think of?

00:55 Boy, that defense is really good.

00:57 They're hard-nosed.

00:57 They really bring the pass rush.

00:59 Look at the defensive statistics.

01:00 4.8 yards per carry they're giving up on the ground.

01:02 245.5 yards per game here that they're giving up through the air.

01:06 You should get a good game here at a Cooper Cup, Pukenukuwo, and

01:08 that passing game.

01:09 But having said that too, the running game, which usually would say, hey,

01:12 Kyron Williams can handle it.

01:13 They're really devastated in the backfield today.
