Not every game was like yesterday. Also same design as last year. Same syterm for a few years as Youngblood has pointed out. And statistically we're a decent defense. I would say this is an issue that's popped up in a few games this year. Coverage was not bad against Chiefs and good in red zone.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Not just the last drive, but the whole game. Made Geno Smith - a decent QB on a level with Tannehill maybe (not in skillset, but in ceiling) look like the second coming of Drew Brees - 367 yards!. I don't remember so many completions to recievers where there wasn't a defender even in the picture. Wiiidddee open. All day. What is happening on the coverages. That can't be the design, can it?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Wolford seems to be heralding a new age of darkness. The organization should not let anyone wear that, especially a lousy QB. Make him wear 10. There will only ever be one #13 in Rams history.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Funny how this board has turned. We went from 'why is he taking a roster spot' and McVay and Snead are too proud to admit their mistake and cut him to...'why hasn't he been playing major snaps since opening day'? I don't know, maybe he has taken time to develop his route running, blocking, and understanding of defensive alignment checks and adjustments and he's just now getting up to speed enby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
And yes, I'm counting the Cookus Monster. He has an actual NFL arm, can use his legs a bit. He's not starter material but may be capable of coming in and going .500 if he had to start a few games in relief. Our current backups have proven that they can not win even a single game. And as it stands, it's very likely that we don't win another game this year. 3-14 is a real possibility with theby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
He really tore it up last week with that fieldgoal drive. And that touchdown drive. And that....oh nevermind.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com

Have to ask Albany what the cap implications are for cutting him pre or post June 1st. If we eat a lot of dead money, he's a vet and can play guard or tackle. We could keep him for '23 and use him for depth. We normally just eat cap hits and move on. If there are significant savings to realeasing him, then I agree he should be cut. I can't see any team trading for an oft-injured left tackleby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
They're convinced we're bad cause Snead and McVay are fraudsters who destroyed the future. Come to think of it, a lot of folks on this board think so too.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
You don't save much and that's another edge rusher you have to replace. We already are missing one, why save 3 million to miss both? Floyd is solid at times and would probably benefit from a quality rusher on the other side. You can upgrade positions without making more holes that you have to fill. Especially if it doesn't make cap sense. Same thing with Robinson. You don't save a lot,by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Last report was it was a neck injury that caused numbness in his legs and the protocol was just a safety measure. But he can't clear it. Has anyone read anything where the team has said unequivocally that he suffered a second concussion?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Tear it all down' - How? Cutting players - so eating a bunch of dead cap so you can't sign replacement players? He says Donald doesn't want to be traded, so you want to force him to retire early by signaling 2023 is a 'tank' year? What does that even mean - oh just run around in 2023, try not to win too many games and wait till 2025 when we might be good again. Are we the Jaguars now? Or clby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
This article offers insight on how little these guys understand what happened this year.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
He's in it, but he hasn't been diagnosed with a concussion? How does that work? Is this some kind of roster shenanigans where they can keep an extra guy on the active roster and not have to make him inactive on game day?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
And doing a great job there. I don't think you can underestimate the loss of some of our assistants, including Kevin O'connel. I'd like to see some shakeups in the staff as well as the players this offseason.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
That should be where the most of the money goes. You can get cheaper vets at RB to round out your room - ala Sony Michelle. We may need to seriously look into plowing money into a vet LT. Unfortunate, cause I don't think we can afford one.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
In the past 5 years. Our old O-line coach was really good. Wish we still had them. But the oline hasn't been the problem like it is this year, so not really a fair statement. When they're standing upright on 2 relatively healthy legs are good at running Sean's offense.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
They have been few and far between, but they've been there. Now they will be gone until he takes the field again.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Whit seems to really enjoy his family and he played until he was 40. The trait that elite players share is their love of competition and the game of football. As we've seen it's very difficult to walk away from that (Farvre, Brady). Maybe you don't like the Rams winning, I do and so I hope he still plays for a few years. If you have an elite QB you always have a shot at the playoffs. Andby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
He had a stinger - neck injury with numbness, I think. It cleared up by the end of the week. I don't think he ever received a concussion diagnosis, it seemed like they were just being cautious. I for one, hope I never see Perkins or the Wolf take another snap for the Rams, but sadly I don't believe this will be the case, considering the crap show this year has been for injuries.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
They are in a good spot (with 2 games against us) but not a lock.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
that's what the author said about Perkins appropriately low PFF grade. If failure to move the ball, even with possession at midfield twice, with spotty passing and 2 picks and helping to lose the game is what he was asked to do then yes, he did it.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
One is more mobile, the other can read the field a bit better. Both lack arm talent. The results are the same - we lose. Throwing for 100 yards and scoring 10 points after starting 2 drives is acceptable? Is this how low the bar is now? Why not throw Cookus out there. We're not going to win with Perkins or Wolford so let him flop around. At least it's something different. Our backup QBby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
...than anything Perkins threw yesterday and against the Saints. A team with superbowl hopes next year needs a backup who can win a couple games when the starter goes out - or at least go .500. A vet is a good option. It's just a money question. You're not likely going to get a functioning backup in 2023 from a 6th round pick or UDFA this offseason. Wolford has won one game - but looks likeby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Like a historical 1000 year drought in nature - what's happened to this team seems unprecedented. Can anyone point to another team in the modern era that's had to endure what we've gone through? McVay hasn't forgotten how to coach, the team is not full of 53 losers who need to be jettisoned, we have some great, some solid, and some below average players - like most NFL teams. At least we did.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Is the bar that low? This is his 3rd year in the system and he can't run the offense.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
It's clear in every post - cut them all, they're all bums, we're doomed. Historic o-line injuries and coaching staff losses are playing no part. It's just a lousy roster. That won the superbowl last year. And you have keen insight into the Matt Stafford situation - you've seen him and diagnosed him and determined his career is over. I'll save you the time of a long reply thread. Agree toby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Lots of practice squad, waived, signed, waived. Not exactly the building blocks for a solid tight end. He's a good player to fill in, but the Rams aren't weaker for losing him. We seem to have 3 tight ends that are all pretty bad at blocking. Would be nice to sign a vet blocking tight end as they may be relatively cheap.

And next year, when Sean Payton returns - should he quit too? These coaches thrive on calling their own plays. Call it a quirk, or ego, or whatever they prove that there are no hard and fast rules for what makes a successful head coachby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Maybe the same training staff and strength coaches for several years. So all the past success gets thrown out the window and now it's time to fire everyone? Like they caused lineman's legs to get rolled up on. One guy had blood clots - that's not something you can train away. The other injuries - must occurred on plays where no amount of conditioning would help much. It's just bad luck or tby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
