Just for the sake of pointing it out, that said your point is well taken. The Rams defense isn't terrible overall it's just awful in situational football at times. This season's third downs are killing them, they are not creating many three and outs. This isn't a defense that plays well when it's behind either, they can get after you when they have a lead. Behind by a td or two, this D caby RustyRay - RamsFootballFans.com
The Niners knew what the Rams were doing and or going to do. When you can note where the rookie is and get the ball out that fast to the spot where the cb is 8 yards off the los at the snap and then back pedals for some unknown reason and is a step and a half late to the ball then misses the tackle and gives up 21 yards it’s a lost rep and lost chance and lost game. The point is the scheme andby RustyRay - RamsFootballFans.com
At the very least he is 14 yards off the LOS... I dont know who it is or who caught the ball or anything about the play. To me that is the Rams shell in s nutshell...there is simply no reason on earth for him to be that deep with nobody threatening him or his zone he is so far off it is such an easy pitch and catch on a quick drop. That right there puts a spotlight on this sad design or saby RustyRay - RamsFootballFans.com
Well said, I just think in today's game a coach's job has to be to use the talent he has in the best way possible. The Rams have elite talent for any scheme he wants to run. They have to try and make the qb hold the ball a tad longer, I don't want bump and run because they cant hold up in that... what I would love it more of a disguise come up and drop the outcome up and impede the route andby RustyRay - RamsFootballFans.com

Ramsey is being wasted in the star position at least with the way the rest of the D is being played or called around him. It's just hard for him to affect the game when he isnt around the other teams best talent. He should be on Deebo on those crucial downs when everyone in the stadium knows that QB is going to throw a slant inside to Deebo....and he should be covering Kittle at times as well...Mby RustyRay - RamsFootballFans.com
No reason to attack posters or for anyone to attack you 53. It seems pretty counter-productive to me. One thing is true for everyone here, we all love the Rams and want them to win. People see things differently no doubt about it. Stafford has been awful the past two games. The Rams as a team were awful against the niners. I want Morris to change what he is doing because the way I see theby RustyRay - RamsFootballFans.com
This topic was about the coach saying you can just throw away from a star cb so I took that as a topic about that side of the ball. I wouldn't call anything I wrote a rant, It's my opinion for sure but it's not based on emotion or lack of knowledge or watching only the game on TV. I watch all 22 even when it's hard to watch. I clearly say the Rams played bad, the Rams were bullied and theby RustyRay - RamsFootballFans.com
I am tired of the Rams getting knocked around in games. The Rams have elite talent on the defense, the Rams are not using that elite talent the best way possible. Donald and Ramsey are once-in-a-lifetime types of players and now you add Miller. This defense should be all about pressure and getting after the other team, not read and react...not wait and see.. They need to be in your face and aby RustyRay - RamsFootballFans.com
The first one not so much, the oldnotdead take is pretty on point. The Rams arent contesting anything and against good teams and good qbs who wont make stupid mistakes and drops they can control the clock and the game like the Cards and Niners do. Morris seems to want to rely on the other team making mistakes, penalties and drops rather than using the great talent available to him and gettby RustyRay - RamsFootballFans.com
I wasnt talking about only the last TD. I was talking about the catch before the rush td he had. He abused Rochelle on the slant and then abused him again on the run where Rochelle missed the tackle again. The last TD was all on Rapp and his complete lack of awareness in zone. He is staring at the QB while Deebo goes right behind him for the catch. It happened more than once. The Rams needby RustyRay - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't understand why the Rams are playing him outside of the fact that they have nobody else. He is consistently soft in coverage and two steps late. He misses tackles and is rarely in a position to break on the ball or to break up a pass or anywhere near close enough to make a play. It is infuriating to watch these DBs stand off the ball at 8 - 10 yards and take away nothing, no inside leveby RustyRay - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteStafford9 Woods dropped a ton of balls too, hopefully, OBJ can help, we are not elite at the receiver position despite the stats. We throw every play, as a group, they catch approximately 60 percent of the throws that are catchable. Woods dropped a ton of passes? When and where? He was likely the highest catch rate guy on the team and if not he would be second to Kupp. They catch a far higby RustyRay - RamsFootballFans.com
Please leave that stuff behind you and focus on playing ball and getting the new players into the scheme and then working on the scheme for the game youre getting ready to play. I hope this coaching staff really goes and looks in the mirror and asks themselves if they are doing a good job with the game plan and setting this team up for winning football.

This much talent has no business being wasted like it is right now. This is embarrassing. The Rams make all the moves grab the big names and what happens? We go into the 49ers house against their high school offense and get smashed in the face. It sucks to lose, it sucks worse losing to the 3-5 niners. What a joke.by RustyRay - Game Time Forum
Anyone playing D for the Rams should be pissed off. They are wasting talent, you dont play the niners the same way you play the Bucs or Hawks...The Rams show up and run the same trash that is tailor made for the Niners.by RustyRay - Game Time Forum
What in the hell is he thinking? What is with the TE screens? Why? You have Kupp and Beckham and Higbee and Jefferson with Staffod and you throw a TE screen behind the LOS?? So stupid. I am tired of them acting like the Niner gameplan is something new or special? The Rams know what they are going to do and yet they dont change to match it. They sucked in the first half.

If he is going to play off ten yards then he has to be able to tackle. He cant. He plays off gives up free inside releases for slants.by RustyRay - Game Time Forum
Soft zone trash and non aggressive type of schemes lead to sleepy non agressive players. Yes its the same scheme, I know I watch the all 22 and have went back and its a very close replica to last year.by RustyRay - Game Time Forum
The soft zone off coverage just letting guys run routes, never disrupting anything the other team is trying to do. Why not put Ramsey on Kittle one third down once in a while? Why not run press outside to try and make the QB hold the ball once in a while so that Miller and Donald can get home? Why the over the top soft zone D. I knew and told my wife on all 3 catches to Kittle what was goby RustyRay - Game Time Forum
I would have liked to see them use him more period. He has legit talent and it would have been a good idea to simply work him in more in the mix for any of the 3 top WRs. He could have helped the Rams. He could have helped himself and just stayed and been a team guy. Would have been nice to have him return punts and to stretch the D. I was excited to see him as a Ram and it seemed likby RustyRay - RamsFootballFans.com
Just released by the Packers. He has talent and the Rams have need at ILB. I would rather see him play next to Jones then see Reeder get too many if any real snaps on D. Put Reeder on teams and get him off the Regular D sets.by RustyRay - RamsFootballFans.com
He played close to 100% of the snaps in the first 4 games outside of the Bucs game where he got tossed. Then he dropped off in the Hawks game and then the Giants and lastly the Lions game. So he has been playing a lot less so this loss isn't as big as some are making it. However, it's likely another move is coming to add someone.by RustyRay - RamsFootballFans.com
I am starting to wonder where his leg has went. He just doesn't ever seem to hit good punts anymore. He had a couple today that had me shaking my head. He hit them under no pressure and couldn't even get it inside the 30 yard line on either of them and that wasn't asking for much. I hope keeping him instead of the other guy they traded to GB doesn't come back to haunt them.by RustyRay - RamsFootballFans.com

Not impressed with Morris at all. Bend but don't break D...no press coverage, no pressure. really not much of anything. If it wasn't the Bears O the Rams wouldn't be winning. The fact that Dalton is moving the ball so easy is concerning to say the least. This sucks....this game shouldn't be close.by RustyRay - Game Time Forum
