Jared Verse came into the NFL with a reputation of being a ferocious competitor with a relentless motor. That’s shown in his first seven games with the Rams, but he doesn’t just let his play do the talking.
He does plenty of talking himself.
Verse was mic’d up for the Rams’ win over the Vikings on Thursday night and he showed he’s the ultimate trash-talker. He was in the ears of Vikings players all night, letting them know he couldn’t be blocked and attempting to get in their heads.
After recording his first sack of the night in the first half, Verse reminded Vikings tight end Josh Oliver that he got beat by him.
“You like that sack on you? You like that sack on you?” Verse said right before the snap.
After beating Oliver again for a tackle, he let him know.
“84! I took you across the map!” he shouted.
Verse couldn’t be stopped when the Vikings tried to block him one-on-one and he knew it.
“Hey, it takes two. I told you, big dog,” he said. “They know what it takes. It takes a double-team. They know that.”
After one particular play, Verse yelled to backup left tackle David Quessenberry that he couldn’t block him one-on-one.
“Oh, you need so much help,” he said. “You don’t like to do that, Bradbury.”
Garrett Bradbury responded, telling Verse that he talks a lot.
“You talk a lot,” Bradbury said.
“And you can’t stop me!” Verse replied.
It’s a 6-minute mic’d-up video and every second is worth the time because Verse is a savage when it comes to talking trash.
