Los Angeles Rams vs. Detroit Lions | 2024 Week 1 Game Preview

LA Rams ready for their second game of their double header with the Detroit Lions just had to wait a few months in between I'm first down that's going to do it that's going to do it that's going to do it not as much on the line in this one as last year or is there every week matters right and one pride is hoping this is the start of a journey that will lead them to a land even Simba hasn't been to go welcome to High Sky expectations not sure any Lions fan has ever flown at this altitude Jared gof has though it's round three for him versus his Old Coach let's go let's go yep old man McVey they call him he'll give Matthew Stafford the speech before the game okay you couldn't get yourself to break the city's Hearts the last time we were here fine but we didn't pay you a fat bag this off season to be sentimental so no more holding back hey if we get this thing back with about a minute left we're going to have to be aggressive okay Goff and staff one and one against each other so far Stafford's number one concern this week though isn't Goff it's Aiden Hutchinson Detroit's sack Master his play is trending up so he could be even harder to slow down as he throws balls loose on the ground how often will la double Hutch though he needs a starski bad opposite him will be newcomer Marcus Davenport makes his Detroit debut comes off an injury shorten season four games two sacks going to be a sack by Marcus Davenport Davenport Hutchinson versus LA's tackle Duo of Joe Noteboom and Rob havenstein Rams o line was tough to beat last year for the Five Guys responsible are back play action stord good protection fires wide open Detroit defensive tackle Alim mcneel was good for five sacks in 2023 not bad run stuffer DJ reer makes his Lions debut those two will be tested plenty by LA's Kiren Williams Williams year three scored 12 times 1100 plus yards five per carry Tyron Williams adding to his Rush total and there he goes Williams will also see lion linebackers Alex anzalone Derek Barnes Jack Campbell plenty that Trio helped make Detroit one of the hardest teams to run on last year I got to give it to the linebacker room cuz I said we was going to bring one back D we did Lion secondary also facing Elite Talent in that group isn't the same as last year's Stafford's favorite targets though are is he going to load up on Cooper cup he's healthy again caught caught by Cooper cup Matthew Stafford drops it in the bucket or puka nakua Mr Hulk smash all the rookie wide receiver records from the pocket he deals down the scene it's caught at Midfield puka n to the crib Stafford also has DeMarcus Robinson at his disposal Robinson cup puka versus Detroit's first round pick in the draft terion Arnold also Detroit debut time for Carlton Davis they signed the corner away from Tampa backing them up a nice Trio of safeties they moved Brian Branch back could see him anywhere though Brian Branch Kirby Joseph and yatu melan fonu both played the pass to the tune of sub 50 rates in 2023 sub 90 is considered good picked off intercepted by the lions lions defense they're unknown as 2024 starts their offense which was NFL elite last year is expected to be again the Rams are up against a Barney Gumble loaded o line goff's protection as good as there is in the league from the first whistle to the last from the first to the last we come out here with a Relentless Relentless intense maybe go for the decaf next time Pan the tag team bout here Detroit's tackle Su and Taylor Decker doing battle with LA's Jared verse a first round pick from this past draft making his debut Michael Hoy a six sack dude last year and Byron Young The Rookie tuned his sack dial to the oo a Blindside sack by Agent Zero or cotton mcnight and pepper Brooks calling this game Goff is facing an adless Rams defense but their interior does still have some beef nose tackle Kobe Turner made it home nine times as a rookie says so right here on the screen and no one's going to change it to two pressure up the middle Taylor in trouble and down he goes Kobe Turner Detroit's offense though is one of the most balanced in the game David Montgomery will pound them I can't coach that that's all you then Detroit will hit them with their lightning in a bottle jir Gibbs not a rookie anymore oh baby what a run Rams defense has to be just as worried about Gibbs being fed through the passing game he's one of those dual threat types he's Dynamic oh my God but Goff is not a quick dump artist LA's cornerbacks have am manra St Brown to chase around 1500 plus Yards First teamer leaps and flips into the end Z are you kidding me oh am and Rob that is beautiful plus there's Jameson Williams blazing speed the youngster finally starts the year with no hurdles to overcome a little razzled dazzled to number nine who did a swan dive into the end two new Rams cornerbacks travius white makes his La debut after all those years in Buffalo stud potential health questions and Darius Williams was a ram then a Jaguar now a ram again had a great 2023 touchdown Jacksonville tight end Sam leapa the last big piece to the Lions offense he's a pretty big piece record-breaking rookie year for the tight end j at the 10 Le of the five to the two to the end zone Ram safeties John Johnson and newcomer Cameron curl will have to be on their toes then to try and contain him you don't have to be on your toes to
