I don't know what he did to get fired by ESPN but if this was his act I can see why they did it. Pretty bad.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
And in the next several days youwill hear people saying on TV and radio shows "well I am hearing the Rams brain trust feels they made a huge mistake and Goff can't read a playbook". Over the top hyperbole is the main dish.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Vinnie. He goes to practices.........OK great. And talks to whom about what? He barely reports on what he sees. How many times has SK been interviewed by Roggin and asked about when Goff is starting? Dickerson is a HOF player with friends around the league. How many times has he talked to Fisher, Snead, Kroenke or Demoff and asked them about anything? Do you really think his friends aroundby LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Then nobody on that show has anything that you and I don't have. Trust me, sports talk radio is no better than reality TV. They are neighbors.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Has he even been to a practice?by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Put no stock in today's sports talk radio/TV. I've seen some of it from the inside Max and for the most part close to none of these guys have real sources. Some of the national guys don't but even then a lot of them don't. Coaches and owners don't tell these guys anything. It's speculation. ED saying "that's what I've heard" is exactly what I have told people how the game works. Oneby LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
That sounds possible.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
It's just pretty obvious but it doesn't fit into agendasby LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
I had no idea they went to the TE's that many times. Maybe there is something in the Panthers defense they saw and liked as far as mismatches.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Than all of the things you mention. They don't play the pass well at all and at best get moderate pressure on opposing QB's. Maybe it's a good time to let Goff play.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
But I don't know if he is or isn't qualified to judge what's going wrong in the run game. IMO there are a fw things. The OL, Boras quitting on it as fast as Martz used to, and Gurley seems to be less explosive than last year. Like he's tired or lethargic. More Benny is what I would do if I was the OC. And more of the sneaky sweeps to Austin involving Gurley. Something needs to spark theby LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
They aren't trying it seems, and those are numbers that Gurley should have by halftime or the end of the third Q. Boras is flat quitting on the run game it seems.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
It's a remix. That's why Hard Knocks is a loaded diaper. And that wasn't even broadcast.........it was a mashup if you know what that is.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Boras is giving up on the run game to fast maybe..........by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Boras seems to give up on the run game as easily as Martz. I don't know why but even in close games he opts to call pass plays, without play action. No reason to have the pass-run ration out of whack like it was today. At home too..........by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
And frankly Keenum is a good backup, but still he IS a backup. And today he was good enough to win the game with. But LK took 4-5 points off the board with that really bad drop. That could have been the win. This team needs good QB play and it will be very, very good. Despite the whining about everything else, it's the QB play.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
3rd and Goal at CAR 7 (8:11 - 4th) (Shotgun) C.Keenum pass incomplete short left to L.Kendricks That TD and a 2 pt conversion puts the Rams on top. Was it 10-3 at that time? Or am I confused. Either way that ball was RIGHT there and he muffed it. It';s an EASY catch. Kendricks is as responsible for the loss as anyone else on the team. That is a terrible, terrible drop.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Keenum. Just sayin'by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
It's Fisher, Keenum, Gurley, Boras.......alrighty.......... But NOT the guy who dropped the potential go ahead score? Forget the 5 or whatever drops, the poor run game and all the rest........that was a critical play to make. That's what wins, or loses games. Mistakes happen all throughout an NFL game and at the end of most games plays get made or don't get made. Most NFL games are won in tby LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
55 yarders......wow cut him. Those are chip shots........ :wink2by LesBaker - Game Time Forum
Truth and accuracy never matter on message boards. ....... it's only three games in a row it's not a career yet.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Other than to make YOU happy? If he played tomorrow what does it VALIDATE??? That he was the right choice? That Fisher knows what he is doing? That he was worth the draft picks given up? No, none of those things. So take a breath and see how it plays out. Screaming and kicking over and over on a message board won't change a thing.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
I posted this on another board. This isn't the entire post because thee were a few other thoughts that aren't meaningful to a response to your post. I don't disagree with what you are saying, but this is worth discussing IMO. It's just too easy to say "Goff sucks and that's why the Rams aren't winning". I'm not accusing you of saying that here, but it's said a lot on message boards.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
29th in total yards 23rd in yards per game 21st in YPA 20th in TD's tied with 6 other players. One of whom is Case Keenum. His rating is strong for one reason. Interceptions. He's only thrown one so far this year. That may be the only thing Bradford does well, in every other way he is average to below average. But if you want to post some real data to support the argument that QB'by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
It's worth taking a look at the last few years to see how they have gotten better. At one point I was complaining louder than anyone about the "hidden yardage" battle and the Rams losing it big time. Penalties and bad special teams play adds up fast. This will be an interesting discussion towards the end of the season and in the off season.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
And if you look at the last few years they have shown improvement from the miserable penalty machine they used to be. NFL Penalty Tracker It's a good site and I have looked it over a handful of times. Tons of info and it helps the discussion when it drifts to "we are the most penalized team" thing which fans of most every team seem to say.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
That's half of the answer, and that's also something politicians do. The correct answer is "none, as of yet".by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
