Quotesacram Before the season, I decided not to watch any of Fisher's press conference's during the season. I've adjusted slightly....now I won't even read his quotes, they're just too old and tired. And, in this case...misread. He didn't say what the ESPN writer took him as saying. ...by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRampage2K- According to Roger Saffold, Gurley ran the wrong way.... I honestly think Gurley heard the wrong call. Only thing I can think of??? It's too bad, that TD there prolly wins the game. Well Saffold didn't quite say that though. QuoteGurley seemingly had a hole to his left, with Cory Harkey blocking his man while acting as a fullback and right guard Jamon Brown acting as a puby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRampage2K- I've watched it ten times now and still think it's on Gurley... He takes one too many steps to the line instead of just cutting straight left for the easy TD if he just follows Brown, it's pretty clear from that pic that he doesn't follow Brown. EDIT. I watched it again. It;s not clear whether Gurley could have gone left. Maybe. ...by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
Quote. I disagreed with the defensive pass interference on (S) Maurice (Alexander). I did not see the hold or on the first kickoff return to start the second half on (DE) Eugene (Sims). When you look at them, when the game is over and you look at the penalties, you see your number be eight or whatever, that’s too many. But then you go and you look at them closely and that was a big play for Mauriby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
Quote-X- Quotewv ram Keenum is not very experienced you know. How many games has he actually started now counting his Texan days? w v He played 22, started 21. And this isn't an excuse, or a reason, or anything other than an accounting of the facts. Keenum has played for 4 head coaches (2 in 2013), and 4 offensive coordinators in his 22 starts. My only commentary on that is that it'sby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteEastBayRam It's simply amazing how a connection with a quarterback can change things. This is not a post about Keenum makes people better or any of that sort of thing. But for whatever reason Keenum and Brit seem to be connecting. It really seems to be bringing out a version of Brit that I have never seen before. I really hope he can keep it up because he played fantastic against Detroit. Ouby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteAlbaNY_Ram I think the play where Gurley ran right and Keenum turned left to hand off the ball was an audible. (Keenum tucked the ball away and headed up the field off left guard for a nice gain.) I saw lots of talking among Keenum, the WRs, the OL, and Gurley after they lined up but before the play was run. And I think Gurley didn't get the message and simply ran the wrong play. That'sby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSilverback Does anyone notice CK making any pre snap reads and audible out of plays? I just don't see it.. He does it all the time. It's a regular part of the Rams offense. The Rams version of doing it, however, is not the big dramatic Peyton style fans tend to notice. The announcers who know the Rams best were the pre-season guys, including Faulk. During those games they would poinby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteBumRapI like Keenum more than Clemens but I put them in a similar category adequate and journeymen caliber but not for the future or long term success.. Well I think Keenum is several notches superior to Clemens, but that aside, it is obvious that CK is a journeyman. He's not a longterm starter. That's his pedigree. So let me ask just out of curiosity. Do you think that anyone anywhereby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
Quote21Dog Makes you wonder if this is why the camera people were asked to leave the locker room. Maybe this was the subject matter he wanted kept in house. I think it's pretty obvious that's what the closed locker room was about. I was saying that yesterday fwiw. ...by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLMU93 I think Buffalo is becoming pretty solidly a top 10 team in the league. Detroit is a bottom 8 team that was missing five starters. I never thought the Rams under Fisher and Williams would ever lose a game when the offense scored 28 and the QB had those kind of numbers. Their defense needs a real gut check this week... And they need Quinn back.... And Johnson IMO. Maybe Johnsoby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteHazlet Hacksaw I'd rather he be our backup - period. He would be a darn good one. I never said he ought to be the ongoing starter. In fact read this: H, I have always liked your posts, but sometimes, getting you to hear what is actually being said takes some work.by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteHazlet Hacksaw Proving to be a solid 1a qb. Not quite starter material but very good backup. Will make himself some money this year. Streaky passer, nice long thrower, probably accurate to 40 yds deep. Will force the ball sometimes instead of going to next read.

QuoteSpeed_Killsand a deep ball to Tavon that no one thought he could throw that far I agree with some of your post. Not all but a lot. To focus on that bit though? It's not "no one" who thought he could throw long. Some of us, like me, have been pointing out all along that that is part of his game going back to his first starts in Houston in 2013. The people who did nby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteleafnosebtw, the coach going closed door after the game in the lockers? that he was dissatisfied with that defensive effort would be marginalizing. does his wrath change their work next Sunday? heck if I know I think that one is obvious. He would be focusing on 2 things. One is the defensive penalties that were just boneheaded. The other is the chippiness during the victory kneel.by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSoCalRAMatic He had his best game ever as a pro. Nearly perfect completion percentage, over 300 yards and 4 TDs. Also completed a record 19 straight. Unfortunately we did not win, but we can't blame the quarterback. The season's nearly half over. I would love to see Goff but CK looks like a true starter. What to do? Oh, BTW, Mannion had a monster game in PS when he got the chance. Thoughts?by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
Quote-X- Quote9er8er Quote-X- So the coach wants to rip into people before the filming starts. Last I heard, that's exactly what people WANTED him to do more of. Damned if he does <period> There's some popular opinion out there that you've tapped into that says more ripping into players by Fisher is wanted? Where can I find this? Yeah. Does that surprise you?

QuoteHazlet Hacksaw There will be teethe no pains so why not get them over this year? Because the pains will be less if he's not learning 2 sets of things at once.

Quote21Dog Who the hell is Joe Marciano? Reporters are never allowed in the locker room after a game, just the Rams own media people. Or if reporters are allowed in, it's after a certain point, which presumably comes after coach to players post-game stuff. All Fisher did was throw out the Rams own video people. This time however Fisher kept everything in-house. Reporters could get nby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteHazlet Hacksaw Is to get him some good amount of time this year for next. As long as they can do that I don't care when he goes in. I have no illusions of this team going anywhere this year anyway. If they can hang in there this year it's gravy. I know what you mean, but honestly, I don't think it matters. There are so many examples of qbs developing without that kind of thing that reaby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
I have no mindread of Fisher to balance against your mindread of Fisher. B) So I will just go with what I always thought and said. Whenever they start Goff and for any reason is fine with me. It could be in London it could be next year. I am good no matter how or when they do it. I assume that me saying I am fine with whenever they do it, I am in disagreement with your idea thaby zn - RamsFootballFans.com

Quote9er8er He's a backup. That's where he belongs, but today he played as well as you'd expect any good starter to play, which backups will do from time to time. Especially when they face poor defenses. It's okay to say it. I agree with that. In fact he played better than any Rams #2 caliber qb I can think of, since I don't know when.

QuoteHazlet Hacksaw I just don't get it. Yes you don't. B) I never said where I stood. I was just pushing for accuracy on the facts. That is not the same as either being good or not good with something. They were down with winnable situations late in the game in 4 games (not 5...SF was a blowout...they were up 21 nothing early in the 4th).

QuoteHazlet Hacksaw I'm not blaming CK - backup QB or not, this is the handpicked QB of the staff for the moment and if he isn't costing games, he isn't winning them either. Yes he is. To the degree any qb is actually the sole person who wins a game. Comeback/Go Ahead drives against Tampa and Arizona late in the game.

QuoteJamesJM because you aren't saying what you're seeing, you're 'intuiting'. As your description of the Hawks game goes to show. No I am saying what I am seeing. I saw plays today where he bought time, looked, and checked down. I even listened with interest as the broadcast team discussed times when he did that.
