All right, let's get into some of the news here we're talking about on today's episode. Of course, the biggest news that we're hearing, I know you guys have heard it for a couple hours now, But it looks like... Barring any setbacks, that Myles Garrett will be back in the building for the Los Angeles Rams. I mean, he's already back now. He's working out with the team. He is preparing to compete against the Washington Commanders. So Rams defensive end Myles Garrett, expected to play versus Commanders. Barring any setbacks, this is per head coach Sean McVay. Super awesome. This is so exciting. I know we've seen Myles Garrett play one game for the Rams, the Australia matchup. He basically did nothing, put up a donut for you, and then immediately went and had surgery, was out for multiple weeks. Not necessarily what the Rams envisioned when they traded for Myles Garrett. But look, we know the Rams were struggling early to start this year. Everyone at some point was saying this could be it. This could be over. This year could be a wash. Now the Rams are sitting here at four and four. Can't believe we've finished eight weeks of football already. Unbelievable, but we are sitting at 4-4, and we're saying, you know what? The Rams are looking pretty good. It's still an uphill battle to try to make the playoffs because the San Francisco 49ers have started off so well in their season, so it's going to be tough, but with the addition of Myles Garrett to this team, it's almost like you went to the trade deadline, and trade deadline is next Tuesday, right? You went to that trade deadline, and you said, you know what? We're going to trade for Myles Garrett now at this point, and he's fully healthy because he hasn't really played at all. Obviously, he's coming off an injury. He's going to deal with some rust and those things, but he is back. And ready to go. And it's like you made a trade for Myles Garrett in the middle of the season. Rams star Myles Garrett working his way back from that knee surgery that landed him on injury reserve. Is on track to be activated ahead of Sunday's game versus the Commanders. Garrett has practiced all week. And all indications point towards him playing. Which is a big lift for the Rams. 100% true. So. I feel really good about Myles Garrett being back. I feel especially good about Myles Garrett being back because he is going to finally play alongside the rest of his defense, but also his buddy number 99, obviously, Aaron Donald, the reason why Aaron Donald came out of retirement. Let's look at this quote here from Sean McVay first before we talk about the Aaron Donald effect here. He has progressed really well, made a tremendous impact in practice on Wednesday and Thursday, feels really comfortable. with the game plan. So that is the quote we hear from Sean McVay on the potential return of Myles Garrett. Look, super excited to see these two go at it. We're going to go ahead and go full screen for you guys to show just how exciting this image is going to be when they're actually on the field. This duo just going crazy, trying to go after the opposing quarterbacks. This week going to be Jaden Daniels. We'll talk a little bit about him in just a second. Aaron Donald came out of retirement because he loves the Rams, because the Rams had a chance to win a Super Bowl. Those things are very true, but also pretty much came out of retirement because Myles Garrett was traded to the Rams. Yes, the Rams were a good team before. He was really good close buddies with Jared Verse, put Jared Verse through some crazy tough workouts. We've seen those. We saw the images of that. That was super fun to see that duo kind of come together and just kind of converse about football. But never did it ever feel like Aaron Donald was really serious about potentially returning to the game until the Rams went out and traded for Myles Garrett. That changed everything. And so I think Aaron Donald will probably attest that, give some credit to Myles Garrett for that and saying, hey, look, the Rams went out and got 99. I always wanted to see what it would be like to play with a player like him. One of the best players of all time. I'm one of the best players of all time. Let's do this. Let's build this dynamic duo of a defensive line, and let's see what we can do wreaking havoc for other quarterbacks. We're going to see this for the first time, and that's what's so exciting right now. I think a lot of people right now are really down on the Rams, really down on how they look this year, saying the Rams are kind of not really in conversation for competing for a Super Bowl. They barely got to 500, not really a good team, but we talk about this over and over and over again. If they can beat the Commanders, if they can beat the Arizona Cardinals next week, neither are guaranteed wins, but if you go out and you win those games, you're 6-4, you have a bye week, guys get to rest, the veterans in the middle of the season get to relax, heal up a little bit. and go into the end of the season, the postseason, fully healthy, really cohesive unit altogether. That is going to be super exciting, and they're going to be tested very early. Yeah, the Commanders aren't a very good team, but they are going to have a very mobile quarterback in Jaden Daniels. That's a test for Myles Garrett. It's a test for Aaron Donald to see if this duo can be effective against Jaden Daniels, they can be effective against many. Other quarterbacks in the league. And I'm not saying that to say Jayden Daniels is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. I think he's a very talented young quarterback in the league, but he's a mobile quarterback who has the ability to go out and run the football, which kind of complicates things for a defense, complicates things for a pass rush. And that's where I think it's going to be interesting. Can Aaron Donald and Miles Garrett... Bother him enough to get a couple of sacks, maybe one sack each, half a sack here, half a sack there, whatever you want to say that's going to count for you to call this a successful dynamic duo here on this defensive line. Whatever you want to see, I'm hoping that can be the case because if they do it against a mobile quarterback like Jayden Daniels, that'll be kind of a big indicator that, hey, this... defensive line is going to be very difficult especially when you're going up against a pocket passing less mobile quarterback like certain guys out there in the league. Jared Goff's of the world in the league right. So very interesting to see what they're going to do against Jaden Daniels. We'll see how many snaps Miles Garrett plays as well. Excited to see him back. That is the talk of the town, talk of the week. What will Myles Garrett and Aaron Donald do together? The rest of the defensive line, will they also see some more success? Will you see the coverage kind of be helped, especially in a week where you might not have Trent McDuffie? You know you're not going to have Jalen Watson the remainder of the season, so you might have backup cornerbacks in there. Can the coverage hold up? Can Myles Garrett and Aaron Donald get to the quarterback enough to allow these defensive backs to not necessarily be exposed as much for the lack of coverage at times? Throughout the game, we'll have to wait and see on that. I am so excited about Myles Garrett being on the team. Drop your one-word reaction to Myles Garrett being back, potentially, this coming Sunday. Hopefully, that is the case. And while we know that Myles Garrett seems like he's going to be back, we also thought that Terrence Ferguson was going to be back after this tweet from Adam Schefter. He says, Terrence Ferguson and Miles Garrett have no injury status designation for Sunday's game versus Washington, and they are good to go. That was the initial report, although the official injury report, it looks like, came out from the Rams, and that actually says that Terrence Ferguson will be out for this football game. So not necessarily sure which one we want to believe. I'm assuming, I mean, I'm going to believe the official injury report says Terrence Ferguson was limited all week long, but he is out. For this game on Sunday, very curious to see some more updates. Tomorrow, we'll probably update you guys if anything else comes out. But it looks like he is out for this football game. So, with no Terrence Ferguson and Kobe Parkinson also being questionable, just one limited practice on Friday, we're going to have to wait and see what tight ends will be rolled out there. Could it just be Tyler Higbee and Davis Allen? Will it be Terrence Ferguson in the mix as well? We're going to have to see what that is. We know Tyler Higbee can kind of hold it down at tight end. Davis Allen can hold it down at tight end at times. If Kobe Parkinson can be there, I'll feel a little more confident and comfortable with that. But we know this Rams team is kind of in a situation where they're lacking at receiver. So tight ends becoming ever more than ever important to this roster. And the production from the tight end room is very important to this roster moving forward because you're still waiting on Devontae Adams to get back and being healthy. We're going to talk a little bit about trade options for the Rams at receiver on tomorrow's episode. But for today. Miles Garrett looks like he'll be back. No Terrence Ferguson, potentially. So we're seeing those updates come through. We'll give you guys some predictions, score predictions ahead of Sunday's matchup versus the Washington Commanders.
