they're very talented over there for the l.a. rams, they can't match the physicality of the 49ers, when you have key bow samuel, george kittle. you add the running game that the 49ers have and the way that their offensive line is playing. and there you see it right there, being opportunistic. if any team, if the 49ers need a reboot, the l.a. rams are always the best team on the menu. i think they'll go into sofi and get it done. >> where are you in your overall assessment? they've lost some games clearly they should have won. they lost some games including today that they clearly should have lost. >> when they don't get turnovers on defense they look great. when they have mistakes and holding penalties and pre-snap

penalties, they look average. >> they've been banged up. how much do you use the injuries as an excuse? >> i don't use the injuries as an excuse. they didn't get it done on defense. bosa and all those guys getting pressure, fred warner and greenlaw playing with a lot of energy. they didn't do any of those things today. i'm not worried. i think they should burn this tape, go and heal up. ice up. nobody's going to feel sorry for you. you have to go in sofi in desperation mode. >> after a game like this, dante, you■q think looking back isn't helpful at all? >> i think you can look at it. >> you said burn the tape. >> you have to look at it. that's a thing we always say. you still want to look at the tape and go in and correct your
