Because on paper and in Vegas, everybody would tell you that it's going to be a mismatch. That offensive line, Saquon Barkley, just think about what happened a month or so ago when these two teams played each other. But it's something about when you face a team a second time. I remember when we played the Philadelphia Eagles and we couldn't get over that hump and we kept going against them.
the ability to know what you were going to deal with. And when you went into the game, you didn't have to feel anybody out. You knew what it was going to be. I think the Rams are going to get the benefit of the doubt because they know what it's like to see Makai Becton. Like the dude's 6'7", 350.

Like you could put you two together and that's Makai Becton, Lane Johnson, Landon Dickerson, Cam Juergens, Malata. Like those dudes are gigantic. I think the smallest one outside of the center is like 6'6", and 325. Right. And so you have to know what that feels like to go against it. That way, when you go into the game, you understand how to attack it. I think the Rams are going to do that.

The key to this game will be, and it sounds crazy, I don't know what the weather's going to be like, but I guarantee it's going to be cold. How does a team from Southern California who's got young guys deal with the cold weather? As somebody who's been in this league and been a young guy, it's difficult to deal with if you haven't had to do it a lot.

The first time I played in cold weather, I'll never forget it. We were in Chicago. And here I am. I'm a rookie. I'm about to put on every layer that the equipment manager is giving me. And Hardy Nicholson looks at me and says, hey, no, no, no, no. We don't do that on defense. I'm like, what do you mean? It's like 10 degrees outside. He said, no, we don't do that.

He's like, on defense, we tough it out. We got to tough it out. So, of course, I wanted to fit in. I didn't put anything on. And when that wind came through that tunnel in Chicago, it felt like it went right through the crack of my behind and out of my nose. It's the coldest I've ever been in my life.

I promise you I've never been colder in my life, and all I thought about was when this game was going to be over and how could I get back to the locker room. And so the next few times that I played in the cold weather, I prepared for it. I used to use this stuff called Tiger Bomb and Vaseline, drank a shot of whiskey before the game, a little chicken broth.

And so my body and my skin was ready to play. That's a real thing. I hope this Rams team is ready to deal with the elements because that will give them a heads up in playing in this game.
