Additionally, he was sacked 3 times - if you extrapolate that out over the course of a season it would yield 48 sacks on the year; for the season, he was sacked 28 times. The Pack would go on to secure a first round bye and play in the NFC championship gaby Thirtymac, The Intrepid Ram - RamsFootballFans.com

On September 7, 2003, the New England Patriots opened the season against the Bills, losing 31-0. Tom Brady was 14-28 for 123 yards and 4 interceptions, From an ESPN recap: “ The Patriots had nothing in response, looking nothing like the team that outscored Buffalo by a combined 65-24 in two games last season. New England's offense, in particular, never got going, managing a mere 51by Thirtymac, The Intrepid Ram - RamsFootballFans.com

I was watching when that happened. Then, as now, I don’t know why there were not offsetting penalties for too many men on the field as both teams were changing units for the change of possession. Glad it stood, though.by Thirtymac, The Intrepid Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
ARob has spent his entire career in the diaspora of good QBs, yet still managed three 1,000 yard seasons, including 1,400 yards and 14 TDs while playing with Blake Bortles. Just like CK was able to take his game to another level playing with Stafford, ARob will do the same (though I’m not predicting he’ll have the same numbers as Coop).by Thirtymac, The Intrepid Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
Deacon, I fully expect the Rams to blitz more, taking advantage of the athleticism of Wagner and Jones. Indeed, in another post I predicted they each have career highs in sacks, total at least 10 between them.by Thirtymac, The Intrepid Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
Bobby Wagner (5 sacks in 2013), Earnest Jones (1 sack in 2021), Terrell Lewis (3 in 2021), Justin Hollins (3 in 2020) and Greg Gaines (4.5 in 2021) will all reach career highs in sacks. I think Wagner and Jones combine for more than 10 sacks as I expect the Rams to blitz more this year. Tutu will have a career year (wow, that was easy). Seriously, with 500 yards from scrimmage and 3 TD’s, heby Thirtymac, The Intrepid Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
I don’t see Boom as a journeyman. Indeed, he has been groomed for this specific task from day one and was drafted to replace Whit at a time when it was thought he would retire in a year or two. Whit will be tough to replace, but I think Boom will be just fine.by Thirtymac, The Intrepid Ram - RamsFootballFans.com

Biggest move: While tight end O.J. Howard not making the roster would have been a surprise a couple of months ago, his performance in camp suggested this move was coming. Instead, cornerback Tre'Davious White being placed on the reserve/PUP list is a confirmation of significant news for Buffalo. The team will be without its top outside corner for at least the first four games, but likely more asby Thirtymac, The Intrepid Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
