ESPN’s Mina Kimes on the Seahawks’ & Rams’ Place Among NFL Contenders | The Rich Eisen Show

We just had Greg Rosenthal on not too long ago and he said that the Seahawks by his measure are the best team in the NFC. Do you believe that, Alex? Thank you. Boy, it it’s hard after watching what the Eagles did yesterday. They kind of get the benefit of the doubt, too, because of all of the talent and obviously the what happened last year. I can see why he says that about Seattle because I think Seattle has a better defense. They I think they’ve got like maybe the best def one of the best probably three best defenses in the NFL and the offense has been absolutely explosive. I do not love their inability to run the ball, but Philadelphia can’t really run the ball either. So, they’re right there. They’re right there in the mix. I did a top five uh power rankings. People can go check it out at Mina Kim show on Instagram and I had the Seahawks at five. Okay. Uh so, it was pretty high. Well, I guess you don’t want to give it all away because you want people to go over and listen to it, which you all should, but is there another little tease that you can give within that top five? Um, well, people were pretty surprised. I actually the hilarious thing is three of the top five teams are playing tonight because I had Oh, yeah. So, you can go look and you can try to guess which ones or you can go look and see. But the uh boring answer for who I had at number one is the Kansas City Chiefs. This was last week and you know, same as it ever was. the offense is just absolutely back to shredding. We talked about the Seattle Seahawks a little bit, but that division is Yeah. Now it’s really good and the Rams are emerging as this contender. What’s your assessment of what Matthew Stafford was able to do yesterday without Puka and that connection with Dvonte? Yeah, he was awesome. the connection with Dvonte, particularly in the red zone, was really important because it’s kind of been off all year long. And um it just felt like to me watching them, their timing wasn’t exactly right, but it finally clicked at the perfect time. I was also fascinated the Rams um you know, their second round draft pick, Terrence Ferguson, who’s a tight end, has barely played this year, but yesterday they got him on the field and they got him on the field uh for the most snaps he’s played all season long. He’s not I think the reason he hasn’t played is his blocking ability, but they lean into 13 personnel, so they got the other tight ends on the field, so they were able to split him out wide. He made a couple big plays. Um, you know, Shawn McVey is really good at this, right? We already knew that. I think if I had a question about the Rams, it’s probably the pass defense. So, that’s a team I would look to potentially be active at the deadline. I think they could use a quarterback. How do you see that division shaking out the Cardinals are? Yeah. But, yeah, keep waiting for this Niners thing to fall off and by the grace of Kyle Shanahan, it doesn’t. Um, and they have gotten a little bit healthier on offense and the run game finally looked like itself. I think if I really had to guess right now, I would still probably go Rams, Seahawks, Sners, but like it is extremely close to all three teams. Hey, you made it all the way to the end.
