Re: Rams new coaches intro press conference video - 12 days ago
yeah, mcVay does like the sound of his own voice. You have to have an ego to lead, of course. But I wonder why he chose to cut ties with Wade, Fassel, Peete etc. He's obviously going to be glowing here - he's a class act - but no real meat on the bones (no pun) on why he's made these choices.by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: And Fassel's Contract is Up, just like Wade's - 7 weeks ago
Even Hekker had a bad year, it seems. Weird.by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: However - 7 weeks ago
Ye gods. How did the Rams draft so poorly from late 80s to, well, late 90s?by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: agreed... - 3 months ago
I'd not be stunned if McVay brings in an O-coordinator this offseason. Stops calling plays. Maybe Jay Gruden?by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
McVay failing on opening drives - 3 months ago
This season the opening drive(s) have been futile. Those are the ones you'd always grow up hearing how the O-coordinator would have all week to map out the first 15 or so plays. They've watched the tape all week. Looked at the opposition tendencies, found weaknesses to exploit. Every single game this season the Rams' first drive(s) seem to do nothing. McVay has been found out, no?by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Same issue as in the run game - 3 months ago
He may not be as mobile as he once was but it's his sudden inability to catch the ball that's a real head-scratcher.by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
Gurley's hands... - 3 months ago
We all know about the knee, but Gurley as a pass-catcher was such a big part of McVay's offense. Since he missed the last two weeks of last season it's like he's forgotten how to catch the ball. And that includes the playoffs. 64 passes caught in '17 for almost 800 yards, a 12.3 average and 6 TDs. 59 caught in '18 (in just 14 games). a 9.3 average. This year, 15 catches and a 5.4 average,by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: did they change to fit Peters? yes - 4 months ago
They changed scheme to better fit Peters after the Saints game last year, as he was clearly struggling. Started to play more zone. And his performances improved.by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: for some curious on the Rams cap situation heading into 2020 - 4 months ago
I wouldn't be at all surprised if Gurley gets cut in off-season. How much would that save? And Cook could maybe be traded after this season. Right now Kupp and Woods are the best Wrs on the roster.by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: running game - 5 months ago
The bulk of the succesful runs seem to be to the outside. Yet to see runs up the gut work.by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: PFF O line rankings - 5 months ago
There was a period in the 3rd quarter when the O-line seemed to nearly all be on rollerskates. Allen was getting noticeably blown up and I thought we might well be into a long season here. But yet we're 2-0. The O-line might well be the thing that stops this year's team going deep into january.by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Maurice Jones-Drew: Todd Gurley Was Playing Through Knee Injury All Season - 8 months ago
Gurley did an interview mid-season where he said he got hurt in week one and, after signing the big contract in the off-season, he "wanted to give the money back." That really implies that whatever happened week one it was serious and career-threatening.by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
Zero O-line depth presently - 11 months ago
Noteboom & Allen were the only backups active for much of last season. Right now they're starters. Which means - no backups. Safe to assume they'll be drafting a few O-linemen. Garrett Bradbury at 31 wouldn't be a shock if he's still there,by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com

Donald's greatness - 1 year ago
In terms of our biggest players not showing up on the biggest stage - Goff, Gurley, McVay (OK. he's a coach, but). No doubt that Donald is a first ballot Hall of Famer, barring something odd occurring. Two time Defensive player of the year. Everyone sees how good he is. But three playoff games, including a Super Bowl - zero sacks. Now, that's other teams double-teaming and doing everythiby Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Welcome welcome welcome!!! - 1 year ago
Yup, a 6'5 target in the middle of the field - you can't tell me that wouldn't improve our red zone offense at the very least.by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
Keep coming back to Gurley's comment - 1 year ago
About how he got hurt week one vs the Raiders and "felt like giving the Rams their money back.' You don't feel like that if it's just a small injury. Be interesting to see if he has surgery ASAP.by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
Tight End a priority - 1 year ago
Been locked in on more pressing needs for the 1st round pick or free agency, but tight end might top it all after tonight. Rams just don't have that physical mismatch high-pointer in the centre of the field to bail out Goff. Simply put - a big target, I think tight ends had one target in the Super Bowl? We now know the Rams almost traded Higbee to the Vikings last off-season and put in a onby Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Rams at Saints: absolute key to the game IMHO will be pressure on Brees - 1 year ago
Peat - the Saints guard - was horrible vs the Eagles. If he starts again next Sunday there should be opportunities for Donald and Suh.by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
Michael Thomas - 1 year ago
I don't doubt Wade knows more about football than we'll ever learn in 100 years, but... Might want to double team him all game next week. Just a suggestion.by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: I noticed a new LIGHT come on with our D last night. - 1 year ago
Yup. Got to blitz more. The D-line and OLBs aren't getting home, so... Amazing that Donald has 16.5 because outside of him no one's doing much in terms of pressure on the QB.by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
Brockers - 1 year ago
Just wondering where he's gone this season. He looks like he's lost weight, maybe it's that and the different role he's asked to play since Suh came. But he's making no plays and very often looks easily handled in one-on-ones. And last season - I'm thinking of the Cardinals game at Wembley as an example - he was playing at an extremely high level. Curious.by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Blinkscout Game 11 ... Best Monday night game ever ... - 1 year ago
I've flipped from wanting a pass rusher in the first round next year. After recent weeks I'm thinking they should be looking CB. Peters is 'who knows' right now. Talib is nearing the end Hill & Shields - not good enough at this stage.by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
Wade... - 1 year ago
35 points a game should be enough. This D really isn't very good. Peters is the obvious fall guy, but here's a thought - if Thomas is going to kill us by catching 12 for 211 - maybe double team him after a while? It was clear that Peters couldn't cope with him, yet Wade keeps Peters in man coverage with zero help...by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
Green Bay defense - 1 year ago
22nd vs the run, 5th vs the pass. Add the fact that we'd like to keep Rodgers off the field, feed Gurley and Brown should be the gameplan.by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Favorite Rams / Niners game ever?? - 1 year ago
1985 Candlestick. Ron Brown, Gary Green's interception, but more than anything the Niners DBs colliding and the ball popping up to Ellard who just backs into the endzone. Probably my all-time favourite Rams game.by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Rams desperately need an edge rusher. And soon. - 1 year ago
Yup. Zero outside pressure. No one able to turn the corner. They're missing Quinn way more than expected, I think. Wonder if they can bring anyone in before the trade deadline.by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
Shane Ray trade maybe? - 1 year ago
Just a thought, we could clearly do with some edge rush help, Wade had Ray in Denver so he knows the system, and he's probably out of there after this season anyway. If Rams win Sunday the Broncos' season will be in free-fall and they may figure a draft pick would help. Probably wouldn't take a high pick to get him.by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: I’m glad that AD is dissatisfied with his performance... - 1 year ago
He had a perfectly valid sack ruled out for roughing, which it wasn't.by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Tight ends? - 1 year ago
This offense - despite its many strengths - does seem to struggle in the red zone. Imagine if they had a legit TE target...by Glyndwr71 - RamsFootballFans.com
