'W/ all the clout, history, and animosity between DK + Jalen, the tension for this final play was palpable. Metcalf lined up to the left w/ Ramsey undoubtedly demanding the assignment. Careful what you ask for, buddy.' JacsonBevens’ Cigar Thoughts are up
. One of the perks of the pod is getting these articles in audio form, in addition to our sit-downs with our amazing guests. You can listen to all the shows, including this article, right here:Like many of you, I mentally circle wins and losses when the schedules are released before each season. And I’m guessing precious few of us slotted a road game against the defendingchampions into the W column. I certainly didn’t.
Seattle’s response was to go three-and-out, including a play where Walker III appeared to miss a block. That led to him and Smith barking at each other on the sideline while Michael Dickson booted it away. Now, stuff like that happens all the time with every football team but combined with the defense’s poor showing, it made for a bad visual early on. Fortunately, Seattle was able to get a stop on the next drive when Shelby Harris tipped a 3rd down pass.
Seattle started the second half by leaning into their big stud, as Smith found Metcalf on consecutive plays for 12 and 19 yards respectively. Tony Jones Jr gained four on the next play and Seattle was cooking, with a 2nd & 6 on LA’s 40. Smith tried to go back to Metcalf on the ensuing snap but Damien Lewis got beat by Michael Hoecht, who hit Smith as he threw. The ball tumbled forward and Taylor Rapp fell on it to give the Rams a much-needed boost.
On 2nd & 12 from the Rams 38, Smith dropped back and flipped it out to Jones Jr in the right flat. But as Jones went to a knee to catch it, Wagner flew in and wrapped him up like an alligator, rolling Jones to the turf and ripping the ball out of his hands in the process. Replay made it look like maybe Jones was down with possession but I’ve given up trying to figure out what a catch is and the call of interception was upheld. Plus, it was just a sweet play by Wags.
Dallas went up the middle for five on 1st down and then Smith hit Marquise Goodwin for 17 down to the 8 yard line with 41 seconds left. With all of the clout, history, and animosity between DK Metcalf and Jalen Ramsey, the tension in the atmosphere was palpable. You hear me talk a lot about putting the outcome of a close game in the hands of your greatest champions and that’s precisely what Smith did here. Metcalf was lined up to the left with Ramsey undoubtedly demanding the assignment.
With no running game and a faulty OL, he simply did everything necessary to win this game. No notes, Geno forever. ~DK Metcalf vs Jalen Ramsey has become my favorite rivalry in all of sports, and they were at each other’sagain in this one. From wrestling matches on run plays to mid-route jawing to personal fouls, the mutual hatred was unvarnished and on full display. Now, Ramsey is inarguably one of the best corners in the NFL and his brash, unfiltered aggression makes him one of my favorite players in the league.
~John Wolford completed seven of his first eight passes for 98 yards, taking significant bites out of Seattle’s defense in the first quarter before the ‘Hawks settled down. And from that point on, the Rams QB was held to 7-18 for 80 yards. The bigger issue was on the ground, as the Seahawks spent most of the game a step slower than Sean McVay’s horizontally-focused misdirection scheme.
Tariq Woolen didn’t play cornerback until halfway through his college career and now leads the NFL in interceptions with six. His pick in this one showcased everything that makes Tariq Tariq: he gave up a step off the line of scrimmage which, while unintentional, coaxed Wolford into challenging him over the top. But Woolen’s combine-breaking speed closed the gap and his natural instincts allowed him to turn his head around in time to take advantage of his remarkable length.
