Episode 68 details (Cardinals recap with substitute co-host Rich & Patriots preview with Evan Lazar of the Patriots Beat podcast)

• Main headlines: Jared Goff & Sean McVay's post-game comments, Ramsey vs. Hopkins recap, Justin Hollins forced fumble/Greg Gaines recovery, Troy Hill pick six, Nsimba Webster fumbled punt return, Matt Gay's 37-yard miss in the 4th quarter
• Showing the ability to respond: Webster's fumble led to a Kenyan Drake touchdown run, but Darrell Henderson & the Rams' run game responded. Matt Gay's 4th quarter miss was negated by Troy Hill's pick six.
• Sharpening the iron: third down efficiency, establishing the run early on, mixing up concepts, playing mistake-free & turnover-free football
• Continuing to lean on the defense: how they should prepare for New England's rushing attack vs. what they've been preparing for & playing against teams with top tier passing attacks
• Interview with Evan Lazar:
  • Difference in personnel vs. what the Rams saw in the Super Bowl (missing Trey Flowers, Danny Shelton, Adrian Clayborn, Dont'a Hightower, Kyle Van Noy from Super Bowl Roster)
  • How the Patriots are preparing for the Rams' offense (scheme tendencies, coverage, rotations, common formations) and how they toyed with Josh Herbert
  • What to expect from the Patriots' talented defensive backs: McCourtey twins, Stephon Gilmore, Kyle Dugger, Adrian Phillips, J.C. Jackson and how Bill Belichick will use a combination of those players to cover Cooper Kupp & Robert Woods
  • Does Sean McVay have something up his sleeve to counter the 6-1 front, or should we be expecting carry over from Super Bowl 53? Evan is confident in Sean McVay
