Agreed! It's time. The dude is a major liability back there.by RamsFanSinceLA - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteClassicalwit Good detail in this analysis. It confirms what a lot of us have been seeing in the defensive backfield. I, for one, have noticed that the Rams DBs react as if they have no idea where the ball is. It sure makes me wonder what exactly is going on out there. Yeah I've seen the same thing. Kendrick is a big liability back there. Do they not have anybody better than him?by RamsFanSinceLA - RamsFootballFans.com
Agree that McVay can get pass happy at times when it seems it would serve the team better if we ran more. Regarding this season, which seems to be the focus of your post, would we have won those games we lost if we had a more balanced attack? Hard to say...impossible really. But, the fact that we were in each of those games against powerhouse teams (maybe not Cincy) with a roster full of youby RamsFanSinceLA - RamsFootballFans.com
Agree. The issues you have outlined have been present in all 5 games so far. Kendrick and his devastating penalties have been the biggest issue on defense IMO. Hoecht, he shouldn't be covering in the pass defense. He gets burned every single time. I thought before the season started that our defense was going to be BAD because of all of the youth, inexperience, and perhaps lack of taby RamsFanSinceLA - RamsFootballFans.com
Good post and I agree with you on all of it. Honestly, I thought we would start 0-3, but with a few lucky bounces we could be 3-0 instead of 1-2. I think we should beat the Colts to get to 2-2 and we'll see how it goes from there. Our defense is young and inexperienced but they are feisty. Getting Kupp back on the field will help a lot. Before the season started I opined that the Rams flooby RamsFanSinceLA - RamsFootballFans.com
I put that loss on McVay. It pains me to say that because I love having him as our HC but he just blew it. How can you only run 10 times? How can you not give the backup LT some help? The poor guy was getting schooled. How can you continue to call 7 step drop back passes when your QB has maybe one second to get the ball off? It was mind boggling to watch.

Puka reminds me of Kupp in how he plays. He's proven he can get open consistently as has Kupp. With those two guys, plus Tutu, I think we'll have a very potent passing attack (sorry Van, you're out). CMC is a great talent but no, I wouldn't give up Kupp for him...or anybody at this point.by RamsFanSinceLA - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotewaterfield The Rams have a far larger following today than they did during those losing years at Anaheim. Does that mean we are bandwagoners also ? Every team has band wagon fans. My point is that it seems TO ME that the Whiners have way more. Look at how they travel! Did that happen when the Whiners sucked? Like I said in my original post, this is conjecture on my part. I also sby RamsFanSinceLA - RamsFootballFans.com
This is just my conjecture but I believe the majority of Whiner fans are of the bandwagon type. Back when the Whiners sucked, I did not know ONE Whiner fan. But when Montana, Rice, et. al., appeared on the scene and they started winning all of a sudden everybody was a Whiner fan. I'm sure they have a core of fans that stick with them through thick and thin but if they start losing consistentby RamsFanSinceLA - RamsFootballFans.com
Very impressive. I couldn't believe how well they played on both sides of the ball. Stafford was nails, the OLine was strong, and how about Puka! He reminds me of Kupp in how he runs and catches the ball. Can't wait to see both of them on the field at the same time. Let's not forget about Tutu as well, he had a great game. How about that defense? Holding them to 13 points and completely shby RamsFanSinceLA - RamsFootballFans.com

1. Will the Rams be able to generate a pass rush? - No. We don't have the horses. 2. Can the young secondary hand with Seattle's receivers? - No. Not sure we have the talent and we don't have the experience back there. 3. How will the Rams deal with Cooper Kupp's absence? - It will definitely be a factor not having Kupp as nobody else in the WR room can get open like he can on a consistenby RamsFanSinceLA - RamsFootballFans.com

I see a floor of 3 wins and a ceiling of 6 wins. Our defense is so young and inexperienced that it'll be hard pressed to stop the better offenses. I think the defense is going to make a lot of mistakes over the course of the season. On offense, we do have weapons and should be able to score some points. But will it be enough to offset what the defense will give up? I agree that tankingby RamsFanSinceLA - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRams43 First, he looked pitiful previously as a LG. Has anything changed? Second, coach Wendy wouldn’t likely accept any face saving move to create a starting position for Boom just to justify that contract extension. Coach Wendy seems genuinely interested in finding the best possible 5 for his OL and has been very fair about it so far. Yeah, Boom has been anything but that.
