Re: Not getting ahead of myself..... - 13 days ago
I watched a couple of Packers series today before I ho-hummed it off - the rato of two minutes of endurable football to nine minutes of insipid commercials (in an election year - in Montana) did it for me. Hard to tell how good the Pack is because in what I saw Tennessee beat themselves. Packers were in scrimmage-plus mode, but don't write them off.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Jared Verse, here on left side, shows power - 13 days ago
Thanks again for putting these things up, the kinds of things I wanna watch! Verse proves here he can play muscleball with the big boys. You can't always rely on that, but sometimes it comes down to that. Technique gets you there and it takes muscle to complete the play. Verse shows that here.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: dont waste the time - 13 days ago
I just tuned back in - triede to google up the rams vs. 49er highlights today, and saw Puka catch a TD pass from Wentz. Also got to see Kyren's somersaiult over Warner for a TD, and then they listed several 49er plays on offense... pass. But as regards thge D, I saw the scoreboard: How many 49er points first half, and how many 49er points second half? According to JY53's thread and post heby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: That was a late hit on KW - 13 days ago
I can't see the plays - and the NFL scoreboard is totaslly useless. Plays not sequenced properly, stats not up to date, can't tell what's going on. In other words, there is no way for me to keep track of the game. Question about the officiating: Are we being homers regarding the calls, or are they really that bad? If so...my blind notion is that the refs are doing a good job - they're doinby mtramfan - Game Time Forum

Re: Aleric Jackson could stink and still be an improvement - 14 days ago
We'll see - won't gap against the 49ers will require two guys beside each other who bring the beef and can move it? As I understand it and try to visualize it, it'll take someone with authority on the move to get the seal and that'll be tough against the 49ers. Zone? Crapshoot. And as much as I'd like to see the Rams run more, generally, I don't think it's going to happen tomorrow. Aheby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: I'd like to hear more about that Warner interview - 14 days ago
Maybe it's worth a separate thread, if I can recall more. Much of what happened in the aftermath of that Super Bowl was quickly taken down, presumably by the same NFL executive team that staged a tape burining in the commissioner's office as proof that all evidence of a specific incidence of cheating had been destroyed. Others, including Peyton Manning, also came forward with plausable allegatby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com

Subtext, per Shanahan Kill Stafford. Not that they'd try to deliberately hurt him... Not the 49ers...by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Up here on Bay Area sports talk: they are talking about setting - 15 days ago
Not to be a worry-wart - but AJ'll be rusty. Please, McVay... don't maroon him out on that island! And don't wait for Stafford to get hurt before you send in tight ends to help!by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: The Pats haven't done ANYTHING since Brady left - 15 days ago
True that. And the Rams were handcuffed in the first SB loss to Pats by blatently missed calls (McGinest holding against Faulk, Rams receivers being mugged, etc.) and the tapes of red zone plays that enabled Pats to stop at least two touchdowns. Rams should have won by at least 14. Warner in one interview after his retirement told of how damaging the Patriot's cheating was that season, espeby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: The Pats haven't done ANYTHING since Brady left - 15 days ago
Cheating and rigged officiating have more to do with Pats success than Brady per se. When Matt Cassel and Jimmy G. subbed in for Brady, hardly a beat was missed. Yes, that's right - I'm a desipser of cheating.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: It's easy to say now . . . but I always liked the Ike/Torry idea of going down when tacklers were close - 16 days ago
If Warner hits you in stride and you have a step on the defender, the YAC are going to be there. Look at Warner's YAT stats throwing to these guys - Torry got a lot of yards before he slid. Today the offenses can't do that - and McVay's offense demands a passer like Stafford or Warner to be successful. And, many of the YAC come after first contact with our guys. The slide wouldn't work so wellby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: I wonder what kind of a game plan McVay and Shula are devising? - 16 days ago
Your first sentence makes my brain hurt. OTOH, I'ver seen McVay do exactrly that, many times. :confusedby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Bugatti in a trailer park... - 16 days ago
... doesn't exactly send the "we not me" message the Rams would want him to buy into; or maybe the trailer was a forced lifestyle downgrade when that fat contract didn't happen after being cut a couple of times and he really wants to keep the Bugatti.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com

Re: I think we need to let go.. - 17 days ago
Yup. I seem to recall that Noteboom restructured (to facilitate a trade, if here was one out there or to keep from getting cut,) and at that letting him go this year would cost too much money. Cutting him next year wouldn't cost so much - and his contract is too expensive for a trade partner to pick up as-is, given the injury probability.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Letting Greg Gaines go and signing Notebloom - 17 days ago
Yeah... I hear you. I liked Gaines. He and the Conductor would be a force in the middle. But as I recall, the oft-injured one got his contract before Gaines was due for his. That, and the defense-offense difference. We can lament the shoulda's but they often don't match the coulda's and did's.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Los Angeles Rams’ Injury Dilemma - 17 days ago
P.S. If you endured to the bottom line of my previous post - the part about taking tall concrete steps 2-at-a-time, jumping and clicking my heels, (and running across the street when I jaywalk, etc.) I say that to emphasize the importance of the right kind of exercise at the right time. I learned, the hard way at one time, that my self-designed resistance program was counter-productive. My caby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com

Re: just not a good pick - 17 days ago
Against the 49ers we'll need all the blocking we can get - especially after short and mid-range catches over the middle, which will of neccessity be the crux of our gameplan. And that's just not Tutu's forte, regardless if CVoop and Puka are banged up if there are others oin the room who can fill those blocking roles better than he can. Tutu is a down-and-distance, situational player.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Stafford passing, Whittington blocking and receiving, Corum blocking, and Tutu - 17 days ago
OK... as I break this down, Stafford can pass well enough. He can fir the ball into the tight holes the 49ers will give him with next-to-no time to throw. Whittingrton can catch, run after the catch, and now maybe at the NFL big boy level break tackles, and not go down at first contact, and hopefully shall have become familiar enough with the offense to block effectively downfield.

Re: Los Angeles Rams’ Injury Crisis Deepens: Star Defender Out With Fractured Shoulder/LAFB Network/Ryan Anderson - 17 days ago
I think it's in how they train (and this is stated from a distance, unfounded save for results I see here as compared with other results with other training regemins) I have nothing first-hand to go on - other than what I see, after the fact. And no, I couldn't do better. There are my disclaimers, gang, out on the table. So I must ask: Who can peel the onion deeper? I can't - everything I'veby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Anyone recall the last time Rams were manhandled in first quarter plus but came back? - 18 days ago
I didn't get to watch, but wondered as I tracked the game on the internet: What will the Rams do at halftime? They nearly pulled it off against Detroit, and lost only by the margin of one first quarter playcall if the team's offensive fizzle in the second half is overlooked. Detroit wasn't a win, but could have been a harbinger of good things to come. Halftime adjustments were a big part of thby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: He won't quit; I hope he continues to learn - 18 days ago
McVay had some emotional growing-up to do when the sky fell on him and his Rams. He looked inward, thought some things through, and got much of it done. And that's not an equivocal statement. None off us get all of it done - (not even Jordan Peterson, who believes himself to be the smartest guy in any room he happens to be in, but hasn't had a sit-down conversation with me in my hovel yet. :ofby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
