Michael Duarte | NBC LA Reporter

From Los Angeles our friend Michael Duarte who covers all things as sports in LA for NBC LA Michael I got ask how do the rams make this the actual Rams house because the hashtag on Twitter and it certainly does seem like all the big games at the Rams plague in their own stadium their brand-new so by Stadium.

There are just as many loud fans for the opposing teams you hire me and welcome back from your little vacation individual moment. Glad to have you back on air and I would state of the grant whose house how mantra rallying cry if you want to call it that they do here.

So by state. It was probably one of the worst in sports right people you share the radio so it's not just your charger called the home as well, and especially on the inabilities open on Thursday night football. It was a bill take over and they took over the house and robbed you of all of your things and left you stranded cupboards bear week, so I thought it was at least 50-50.

Build fans to Rams fans that I started telling everybody in the press box might my cohort on on the local television affiliates here wait until that final touchdown with a went up 31 attended scored and we can now watch all the Rams fans here in LA had for the exit.

The novel really get a chance to see how many build fans there were because honestly the Rams blue and the build was a very similar blues. We couldn't really tell who was who are just looking at the stadium, but once the blowout was on and we saw the Rams fans had for the exit. You really got to see the build Mafia in full support and just how well they travel, which I was very impressed by myself Rams react to that to having such a loud presence for opponents in their own stadium. Great question. One question I actually asked Matthew Stafford, myself after the game, how they prepare for it they actually do.

They believe knowing that the bills are one of those teams that travel very well. All the 49ers also traveled very well so by Stadium and I'm sure there's a few other fan bases out there that we could mention that travel well want to come to LA, the thing that you mentioned and you and you said in the teams right I would take Von Miller a step further. This is the greatest stadium in the NFL integrated state inaudibly in the world about the technology involved in the money that went into it by $6 billion, and just the weather. When you factor in the weather of Southern California. The proximity to the beach, the proximity to LAX, you have a beautiful sunset here in the summer in Los Angeles with planes flying overhead. We had a heat wave here Amy so the Rams office was just as inconsistent as the weather, but it wasn't that hot today. One day the temperature dropped about 1015°, and so to answer your question there prepared for fans to travel well. They were prepared for the bills Mafia to travel well and be breaking some of those plastic tables in the parking lot during the tailgate.

What they did was all we can practice think they practice the silent count. It's similar what they did the Super Bowl. It's similar to what they do when they travel on the road in hostile environments like they are traveling to New Orleans later this year. I'm sure though you that I would count in New Orleans and they did in the in the get the 49ers the empty championship as well so they were prepared for and they had to switch to that. I look out early in this game of the bills fans got louder and especially late in the game. Once the bill started to to really take over and the route was on Michael Duarte of NBC LA is with us post season opener for the NFL at the home of the Super Bowl champion Rams.

It's after hours on CBS sports radio is to hold one of those Super Bowl rings. I have had a chance to meet we had Jacobs jewelers who came in and did the ring they came into our station and let it fall for it and put it on. Now I will say we got we didn't get a players ring that executives ring to cut a show around so I heard the players are even bigger than the ring that we got to see a couple people today in the press box.

People haven't seen the last seven months of the Super Bowl showed me there ring people who work for the Rams little bit smaller but still impressive nonetheless.

I'm surprised there where you because that's something I would put in a safe deposit thing or lock in a state that is a very expensive ring is very big. It wave your hand down but it's beautiful and another cool thing today with the needed Rams championship banner unveiled the Randy went the extra mile and having another banner made up for the 1999 championship when they were the vent St. Louis Rams those banners will now live adjacent to each other side-by-side in the South side of the stadium forever, supposedly, and I wonder what the charges are to do here this Sunday so the parents will stay up while they're playing the raters in their home opener is funny, but it's what happens right you have to share stadiums. Well, you can't take down everything when you flip it so it's interesting the rams obviously are a team. It's got a bunch of moving parts, and even as they kick off the season you know there are missing a couple of of guys because of injuries they hope to get back. It was getting though to see Andrew Wentworth there with the mental body trophy and an old Dell Beckham Junior standing right next to him in pregame. Did you know he was there with you to be there. I had no clue what I was actually on the field when he walked out and I didn't get them fast enough, but I got my phone ready and fallen a little bit for the video on Instagram. I think on Twitter got my tick-tock as well go Dell Beckham Junior hugging Matthew Stafford of the person they saw each other before the game and so I have that any other interesting thing here. Amy is I would get that old Dell Beckham Junior once you fully healthy and ready to return this season probably after the bye week of looking at maybe week eight or nine, similar to when he was cut by the Browns and sign with the Rand the region last year that that these are the two teams of the top of his list. We know Von Miller is best buddy who recruited him to the Rams is now on the bills trying to recruit them to the build and he tweeted out after the game just how impressive the bills Mafia look with their fans and just tell the bills looked on the field.

He must've been impressed with what he saw from Josh Allen and the patentee was growing to those receivers like Stefon Diggs gave Davis and and then you look at the Rand to have a walker at their practice facility in Thousand Oaks for LDL Beckham Junior is still there. His nameplate is on it. They have jerseys and stuff in there.

They are waiting for his return. And I'm sure guys were recruiting him tonight. Gary was with the body trophy doing the banner unveiling so these are the two teams I think at some point, one of the two he'll be deciding between.

I think you'll end up on one of these two probably the rams of if you look at tonight as far as who needs a receiver, but became Andrew Wentworth.

He deftly could have you think that I am you because in my opinion, was decided in the trenches Matthew Stafford back seven times the most he's ever been sacked as a member of the Rams. I think the most like in early 2018 season with the Detroit Lions so that is not a number that the Rams want to see their quarterback, especially his his ailing elbow on the turf all that much, so they used Andrew Wentworth and Odell Beckham Junior life and feels nice. We know LBJ loves to be loved.

He loves to be courted. He loves to be the center of attention.

So, no doubt easy to milk this for all it's worth. All I thought I saw the look, there's actually a nightclub at Sophia Stadium on the south side of the stadium in the corner of the end zone is called Gucci bellowed it's an actual club here in Hollywood as well and they cut to the cameras and then you're probably not be surprised to see him go back in your party's during the day with a lot of people around so that the advisory Michael Duarte from Los Angeles following the NFL season opener is after hours on CBS sports radio. I saw the tweet that you retweeted from Cooper cup reflect rectify respond to this is not a situation, the rams have been in under Sean McVeigh first on the never lost the season opener. What are they to say about what they do now or where they go from here.

Great question Amy and I expected there to be more excuses than a John Gruden apology is this game weren't. It was all Sean McVeigh taking on full responsibility, a word I saw many players say in the postgame comments I'm talking about Jaelyn Ramsey. Very frankly said we got our butts beat, and not in those same words I just used but but from Cooper cup to Bobby Wegner to Matthew Stafford to Sean McVeigh. Everybody said it was humbling. This was a humbling experience.

And when you're the chance when you're coming off of historic season, and we need on your field and all the dreams come true to be beaten like this in your home stadium on the night that your banner was unveiled in the last time you probably would celebrate that at championship run from last year to be beaten this badly.

It definitely was a wake-up call. I also tweeted out that I was standing right next to the locker room and the press conference and were literally sharing the wall the right next to each other. I heard Sean McVeigh go in there and laid his team seem valid.

I can't repeat what he said because I don't have that many lives in my vocabulary, but there was a lot of them but what I can tell you I heard I heard him say he promised, then this will never happen again. He promised them this, loss like this would never happen again.

The way that they didn't prepare. He didn't feel like something made until he had his team prepared. He didn't feel like he would tell you without coach Michelle McDermott. So all of these things, he took ownership or like I said everybody really felt like this was a truly humbling experience for them, and eat like we mentioned, I think they got affixes on the offense of the defense of Linux think they were not prepared for the pressure of the bills were able to to put on them with a four-man front, led by Von Miller, of course, who may have some inside information could be my guess that old line a lot this last year may have been able to pass that on the team is now at the build the biggest take away I saw and I saw stat on the online Amy what Josh Allen got the ball got rid of the ball and 2.37 seconds on average in math, including the times you know he carried in and was outside the pocket and make plays with his feet.

Where is Matthew Stafford held the ball too long. A lot of those facts he took about seven we mentioned, I think, could have been avoidable had he gotten rid of the ball quicker and so that's one big thing that looking at the trenches right here on both offense and defensive line. The rams need to improve moped moving forward. Out of curiosity was the press room full when something was going on his initial tirade, all you absolutely as I would say most of us tried to go against the wall and literally year against the wall here and I was actually told please go kick your feet postgame want to call it. It was more of a tirade of a chewing out but also like him him taking responsibility for, and we heard all the clichés in the book. Once he went to the podium after that, he has to be better. You need to have his team more prepared and he takes full ownership for the lot and he wears it. Were talking about a guy entering this game. Amy was a perfect five you know you can openers and tenure as a the Rams head coach and this was his first ever season-opening loss and there's one thing that was interesting about that stat right so entering the game. That's five straight years. They they won the opener and we know Sean McVeigh famously doesn't plan even starting players in the preseason, but I can tell you that a lot of guys look incredibly rusty out there tonight including the offense of line of the RAM not prepared to block that that builds front for including Jaelyn Ramsey, who was coming off of off shoulder surgery. He really didn't get a lot of rest. She's probably still working himself back into game shape obviously didn't play all the preseason play in training camp or in practice or anything so he's really not up to it and I saw stat where he got in time that he was targeted by Josh Allen. He was targeted seven time six of those were completions for hundred 24 yards and two touchdowns.

I know swivel were big plays but Jaelyn Ramsey got exposed tonight. I love Michael Duarte for many reasons but one of them has got to be the fact that he will stand on a wall with his ear next to it to hear what's happening. This is how you get the real inside information is true. I love it.

Okay before I let you go. I genuinely do not know the answer to this. I know if there is any answer.

You will have it.

What's a bigger right now. Is it the Dodgers and their enormous lead atop the NL West and all of their World Series aspirations or is it rams starting off defense of their title went to great question right now.

I have to say it the heatwave because it has avoiding anywhere where they have to be outside and he but the Dodgers in my opinion are about a week away here from clinching igniter now the magic number six as my conscience and they are playing the team that's behind them. So if they were to sweep the Padres this weekend in San Diego, which I will be there. By the way, if you need anything if they were to sweep the Padres. They will have clinched the NL West on Sunday. That'll be there night division crown in the last 10 years so I think once that happened, dodger fans will really get excited. I think that's good to be at the forefront. They have the best record in baseball.

They are on pace to potentially shatter the franchise record in wind and instill the all-time MLB record is still within sight right now. The don't think they'll get it deftly still in the possibility may lead almost every offense of category. Major league baseball so fans are really hoping that this is the year they can do it they can kind of put all the people that that talk about the bubble title to bed.

Interesting. I asked Michael not that long ago over a text when he ever takes time off and the answer was, well, I didn't this year because the All-Star break was in LA so no rest for you Mike. I don't know how you do it you like the Energizer Bunny like a MasterCard him him everywhere you want to be my guys having to use that line only a couple first time on national radio so fine Michael on twitter at Michael J.

Duarte. He is award-winning for many reasons. Like the back and he'll put his ear to a wall to get inside info covers Dodgers and Rams and everything else for NBC LA it's always good to talk to you Mike. Stay cool out there you to give your animals a big hug for me. I will do that now see another reason why Mike is her favorite. Good night Mike by
