Well they are well-documented whiners—fans, players, and coach. Lame culture.

Squinty eyed rat faced bastid!

"Who would play Bill?"

"Danny DeVito."

I am frickin' done...

I would recommend all Rams fans listen and watch. It's long but I would not fast forward or jump around.
It can be listened to over time.

I thought this was a great interview. Kupp is amazing. Personable and friendly, and all that shit but damn! Focused, Mature, Intense, Professional, Dedicated, Serious ... just really Locked-in ... even when being relaxed and social (and he is both those things). However, this guy loves what he does and is Truly ALL-IN.

From a wide receiver point of view, the man is Brilliant ... in my opinion.

Edelman is OK. Seems like a cool dude. Trying to do an entertaining show. A little annoying at times but when he is focused on football and wide receiver play, it allows for Kupp to shine. When he is not focused, I'm like ... "Shut the Fuck-up Julian and let Cooper talk because he is fascinating to listen to"

Some comments:
Really liked how Kupp corrected Edelman and/or interjected into the discussion a simple point ...
"We (McVay and the Rams) don't do it that way. or, That's not the way we (McVay and the Rams) do things."

I believe McVay has created a foundation and environment that he believes in, and does not give a damn if it's done that way anywhere by any one else. I think the Rams are unique except to the extent that some of McVay's former coaches copy many of the things he has and is doing with the Rams.

Loved how when Edelman did the weak-ass but media-popular narrative that McVay was 'star-struck' by Belichick in the Super Bowl, Kupp just dismissed that as ridiculous. Repeated that point several times.

Found it very interesting that Kupp (and to a lesser extent Edelman) don't like it when they are compared to other quality NFL wide receivers; and it's always to other White WRs. Edelman seems miffed but amused by it but Kupp clearly does not like it at all. Mentioned that he has often been compared to Jordy Nelson then aggressively pointed-out that his game and skill-set are totally different from what the former-Packer did.

Building, on that, later in the show, the old Seahawk teams were discussed, and one of Edelman's two boys (producers?) referenced the great Steve Largent and immediately compared his game to both Kupp and Edelman. The look on Kupp's face is priceless. Kind of disgusted, like he wanted to say ...
'What the Fuck, you fat bastard! What were we talking about ten minutes ago?!? Our games (Kupp and Edelman) were totally different; and neither of us were similar to Largent.'

By-the-way, Edelman's other guy was just as dumb and useless. In one of his few contributions to the show, he summarized the Rams and Niners road to the NFC Championship Game (the primary topic of the show is to focus on one huge game ... in this case, the 2021 NFCCG). So this dip-shit mentions an easy Rams' win on the road against the Cardinals in the Wild Card Round. UGH! Of course, that game was played at Sofi.

This is a discussion that made me appreciate and respect Cooper Kupp even more than I did already; and be even more grateful he plays for the Rams. Wow!

Cooper Kupp is still a dawg, bro​

 

[gogoat1]

I liked it when Edelman spoke of the social economic groups in the Patriots locker room.
Then Cooper said "we don't do that ".
The culture that McVay has nurtured is fantastic !

I would compare Coop - stylistically - to Jerry Rice, but more physical while breaking tackles. Same route running, same size, same catch radius.

I’m praying he bounces back, we’ll need him at his best if we’re to win a Super Bowl.

 

[Spider2YB]

This was *very* entertaining. Love listening to them just talk ball.

Yeah, I'm not sure about a Rice comparison.

Agree about Kupp's health/durability ... and that of Nacua. Both are tough and physical after the catch but they take a beating for it. I would like a solid veteran addition for insurance; and Hunter Renfrow is his Name-O!

It makes more sense than Jordy Nelson, which made no sense at the time then or now.

Nelson is a non-starter. Kupp himself thought it was a ridiculous comparison.

Just watched Jerry Rice a lot in the '80s and '90s; and don't really see a comparison to Kupp.

Kupp the Dog >> Edelman the Rat

 

[Corbin]

Is it me or does it seem at times Edelman is talking down to Kupp? Like his ass is some type of premier authority.

Outside of me outright disliking Pats players etc. and some of their smug attitudes I've never really listened to him before.

It also seemed like Kupp caught this a few times to and a response came a little delayed from being respectful and considerate by not causing a stir.

Kupp definitely seems a down to Earth dude and pretty easy to talk to and more like a person from this board than some arrogant dickhead.

The Rams culture was treating everyone equally and with respect. There’s no socio-economic tiers and layers.

The “We” and “Not Me” beliefs are what a first class organization is supposed to be.

With McSnead and Stan Kroenke as the owner, the Rams will always contend and play in the Super Bowl.

 

[Noregar]

Liked the Video but Edelman is a little annoying. You can see how dialed-in Kupp is for the upcoming season. That gives me great hope that he can have another great season. One good think about having Nakua and a better run game is that it will likely help keep Kupp healthier and fresher for the stretch run to the super bowl and not wear him down so much. Although I have often wondered if Cooper's blocking and physicality in the run game may also lend itself to increasing his injury risk.

Edelman is a piece of fucking Cheatriot shit.

That is all.

Edelman was a lapdog for the king of arrogance and smugness. The GTOAT (Greatest Tool Of All Time) Golden Boy Brady.

 

[Allen2McVay]

Thought Edelman was just less interested in the nuts-and-bolts discussion that Kupp excelled in.

Kupp had so many interesting things to say about different topics. One of which was the likely expansion of regular season games; and a corresponding decrease in off-season activities (OTAs and mini-camps).

What Kupp described was more like baseball ... season ends, and players go home until July. Kupp seemed to want to discuss this topic and the impact it would have, not just on player health but how players would prepare for the season, impacting the quality of play.

It seemed to me ... and I wished this topic had been discussed in greater depth ... that Kupp was suggesting more games meant more revenue and that was all the owners cared about but the product (quality football) would likely suffer.

Unfortunately, Edelman was not interested in getting into depth on most topics.
