FOX Sports’ Julian Edelman: How Stafford & Goff Impressed in SNF OT Thriller | The Rich Eisen Show

so uh the other games that jump out at you I mean what you did you watch the end of the Sunday night game you seen the lines just jam it right down to Ram's throat Julian I did and that was that was a really good football game and that was it just made me such a bigger fan of Matthew Stafford that game even though they lost I mean they're running out of bodies left and right they didn't have their tackles puka gets hurt you know Coupe had a a great game 14 catches or something like that but to see Matthew staffer and how he there was that one third down where he sat in there and he had those two guys in his face and he anticipated he threw that Crosser like almost like a no look over to the left and he hit his receiver like he threw it to a spot like that's that's that's really impressive football when you know you're going to get hit and you could sit and deliver a strike I mean he's a pretty ball he he throws the ball so pretty I thrown with him a couple times and like the first time we ever met we shook hands we went like 44 for 44 and I've I've gone with other uh quarterbacks and there's always a little timing you know adjustment when you start to throw at the new quarterback first day Matt Stafford high five boom zinging and and that's that's what he is it's just it was impressive he's tough you know I think that's going to be a you know a good football team the LA Rams and then Detroit on the other side talk about toughness uh mcdc uh you know the way they won the game driving the ball down down the field knowing what they had to do to win the game that that that that gives you that that shows and that shows everyone that hey we're a tough football team it didn't start the way they wanted um but come out with a win I mean that that's when you start to know you're a really good you're a really good football team is when you know you can win ball games when you're not playing your best that that's that's a sign of a team that you that's they got some solid foundation going in for the year you know this is week one there's ups and downs there's going to be whole lot of emotions everywhere uh and these teams won't be the same team that they're going to be you know halfway at the end of the season but uh you know for both of those specific teams the Lions and the ram those are great starting points for those two organizations when did you throw at Stafford when did he throw to you when was that he threw so I I used to go over to Tom Tom house he had a clinic out in um in Long Beach right and Tom used to go there and we dial up there but you know I would stay in LA and and all these other Pro quarterbacks would would come to the field to work with Tom and you know in the offseason you just want you want to catch balls Pro balls run routes and so you know I throw a bunch of guys and so Stafford was one of them that one time and you're like okay one time stff was there he lit it I mean you could just the ball comes off his hand differently he could pick up any ball and throw it uh you know I I I'm pretty sure he could probably drink like eight to 12 Beers and go and throw a better like he's that kind of guy uh you know just a cool dude and and I'm really happy for him and you know what is he's 36 37 years old 36 yep yeah he's not a young guy and and and I know we all want to be uh like oh Tom Brady played to 45 so that's not that's that's an anomaly so you know to see these guys like Matt that's a that's that's a you know he's not he's not a young guy to go out there take the punishment he did deliver the football not have the you know the the ghost rush in your face when you when you get to be an older quarterback and you're hit a bunch especially as much as Matt Stafford was hitting Detroit you know that could that could kill a quarterback and to get rid of the ball quicker if he feels something the ghost you know yeah but uh that was a really impressive game and then jarro go too on the other side what what an awesome situation for him to go in and you know the team that he played for that he went to the Super Bowl at the LA Rams trades him to Detroit which was a dumpster fire at the time you know he he he leads him to NFC Championship couple years later and and he beats his former team twice now you know uh one in the playoffs and now here in opening day I mean that's a great story of of you know Jared gof just being a mentally tough guy uh not sniveling and what a better guy to be the flag carrier for the Detroit Lions than someone like that catch the rich eyes and show every single day on the Roku Channel 12 to3 Eastern for free
