Punting on 4th and 14 against the Lions in the 2023 playoffs was a mistake
I look at it and I'm being dead ass serious about this too. Some of the red zone sequencing... But that stings and and I'll tell you why. And I'm not afraid to admit I would do that differently. I would've called probably the sequence leading up to that differently. Whether it works out or goes down the way we want, I don't know. But I think to take the ball outta Matthew [Stafford's] hands and to then sit there... shame on me for that.

Prospects are defined by how they handle the biggest adversity they've faced
The best thing... is, hey, what's the biggest adversity you faced and how did you bounce back from it? I'm such a big believer just based on the course of things that have occurred... that even though the most challenging moments, they felt like the worst thing when you're in 'em, you look back on 'em and you're saying, I don't know where I would be without what those lessons and those tough times taught me.
Cooper Kupp is likely going to part ways with the Rams
In the eight years going into year nine, there hasn't been a more challenging circumstance that you have to navigate relative to knowing that the most likely outcome is we're parting ways with him [Cooper Kupp]. He's a legacy ram... he's done so many incredible things... but he's been a real one throughout it. And sometimes these tough conversations are real things.
