0:00.0	Welcome to the Football Morning in America Mini Podcast for week seven of this NFL season.
0:16.7	It is early Monday morning.
0:19.7	I was in Atlanta for the Rams, Falcons, a game but I went to write about
0:25.4	Jayland Ramsey and how the Rams are building their team and how trades in the
0:31.4	NFL are really on the increase, have some stats in the column about
0:37.4	that and just had a really interesting time down there especially spending time with RAM's CEO, Kevin Demoff, and
0:47.4	Ram's general manager, Les Snead, who pulled off the deals. I'm going to try something a little bit different in the mini-pod today.

2:17.7	be able to communicate it.
2:19.2	It looked like mostly he played Mann today and there were a few zone snaps that looked like I don't know what you guys are doing out there
2:26.4	Yeah, yeah, I mean when we were in sub I mean it's a whole different dynamic when not only you bring guy like Jaylin
2:33.7	who's probably the best cover man cover corner in the league but then you had Troy
