Keenum made some good passes.
But he also BADLY missed some very open WRs.
And, of course, some WRs mishandled the ball; a couple of times when the pass was routine, a couple of times when the catch would have been difficult, but the top NFL WRs probably would have come away with a catch.
Keenum, for the most part, had good protection. Seattle was very aggressive with their pass rush and blitzes and they have very good players to do that. So it's not like the Rams oline were playing the sisters of mercy.
What bothered me most was a couple of sacks he took that were simply not necessary; in fact, they were quite detrimental and he absolutely should have, and could have, thrown the ball away.......bad judgment.
GRob had a good game. One of the holding calls went beyond ticky tack; it was simply a bad call. But it happens.
Our interior oline did OK. Barnes got smoked once, but clearly the guy anticipated the snap and got a little lucky. I think some of that was on Keenum for getting the snap count too consistent.
I have hope for our oline, and Havenstein is clearly rounding back into form. I love it that we have real competition at the Guard position.
OT scares me to death. Apparently our 3rd OT is a rookie?
Good analysis.
I think the game plan against the Seattle defense was simply to get the ball out quick except when they set up shots. That will often simply entail going to your strongest pre-snap read.
In terms of the OT...remember the 3rd OT is Saffold. Battle is on the practice squad. They have Murphy on the roster because he is ahead of Battle. I can't say how Murphy would do, but, there are people who liked his work in the preseason, so who knows.
