Joining me right now is ESPN's Bill Barnwell, one of my favorites to read.

Bill writes prolifically for ESPN.com and does so on so many interesting topics,

the most recent of which Bill got my attention, Bill wrote about the Rams switch to more 13 personnel during the season last year.

13 personnel is one running back, three tight ends.

That leaves you with one wide receiver.

11 personnel is one running back, one tight end.

That's three receivers on the field.

And that's primarily what the Rams have run under Sean McVeigh.

But they made a switch bill last year to much more 13 personnel.

Share with my listeners the event or the game in which Sean decided this was

the way to go.

It was Pooka and the Kuwaiter getting hurt.

And that was a likely source, right?

In the Rams for the entirety, really, of the Shaw McVehrer have been in 11 personnel

team, one running back,

one tight end, three wide receivers.

The number of times they ran 13 personnel in a full season in prior years, including

2024, you can count it on one hand and not use all of your fingers.

So they were really in 11 personnel team up and down the field,

and then the quick gets hurt last year in October.

They don't really have a lot of confidence in their whiteouts beyond Devante Adams.

They have a lot of their side ends.
