On top of fielding poor talent, or poor coaching schemes, and earning flags, and making mistakes, there still remains some room for "failing upwards." In almost any field, one may enjoy some success purely on showing up. In the case of sports, and the Rams, they've had some freakish odds against them. In a world of "coin toss" type success, it has remained a dark shadow oveby leafnose - RamsFootballFans.com
I wanted to compare the pairs work to one another, and assess from there seems to me that the push on running plays didn't make much difference, but the pass pro was much better this week Browns work against SF was unremarkable. you got more?by leafnose - RamsFootballFans.com
not expecting to make big plays, but having another rotational guy out there helps. And, btw, I am not down on Sims at all. Just want an extra guy out there. Think they could sit Littleton and I wouldn't miss him. Not sure they he got any snaps anyway. That Cam Thomas can move as fast as he does with that bulk is comical to me. Yet, he gets in there and goes hard.by leafnose - RamsFootballFans.com
EJ isn't going to start. And even if he does, taking all the snaps isn't going to happen. Coty has, for me, yet to make a substantive case for being on the field. Hill has been darn good considering. He's been on specials, and he's showing up. A very tough spot to play, and he's holding his own for now. Mo Alexander remains the guy that needs to improve. Being out there the entire day giveby leafnose - RamsFootballFans.com
2) Wichmann at ORG Im glad they did it. Have to agree. Hope is that they get some unity from this game. Still not the kind of point of attack ownership at the LOS on run downs. Just not getting much movement this season, yet. Brown had an ugly game in SF. Worth a benching. 12) Kendricks made a great catch, I don't care that he was out of bounds. absolutely. and the ball he tookby leafnose - RamsFootballFans.com
worthy notes from Greg Williams balls that aren't intercepted when they hit you in the hands are their own entity. they are equal to the dropped balls on offense. and once they happen, they eat away at the dynamics. nevertheless, the defense forced the 9ers off the field 4 times in the second half with the game still in reach. it's remains an offensive issue. period.by leafnose - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteKind of Blue/Gold * In theory the Rams could be better at OL, as they are young (drafted four rookies in 2015 and Robinson #2 overall in 2014) and had a/nother year of experience last season. Realistically Goff will likely struggle once inserted and should be expected to have his ups and downs and be inconsistent like nearly all rookie QBs. yes.

anyone here following this closely? haven't kept up in sometime on Raiders relocation issues. last I heard there was positive energy towards the Las Vegas notion Grubman's presence in Oakland adds some dynamic; er, I guess Chargers are in an awkward position.

Thought Carr was pretty dang good there; Especially after his guys dropped balls. But the coach going for 2pts there was drama packed. Love that stuff. Very enjoyable as Brees came out and drove them down the field. Smith lowers his shoulders, tucking the chi,n and barreling into the endzone with the rock at home for the overtime win was epic.by leafnose - RamsFootballFans.com
just like it when guys I've got an eye on show something at the next level would have been a good asset for the Rams, for sure.by leafnose - RamsFootballFans.com
a tougher selection than I thought defense mo alexander ej gaines think most of the rest of the situation is okay, but a lot rests on this pair being healthy, and more than proficient. Can go on and on, but it's kind of simple.

the knee sounding worse than they let on. I am activating Hemmingway and playing him this Monday. It could backfire, but I am willing to let him run a few routes, and if he breaks open? Just hope the heck the kid hangs on this time.by leafnose - RamsFootballFans.com
okay, suffering? if that's what it is there's plenty to lament. That the rookie isn't ready to take the reins in his first season? I am so not, NOT freaking out. And I can't imagine that Goff is having set backs because how they handled his preseason. The Eagles appear to be have some different assets to help a kid along, too.

pausing to get a better feel of that scheme / personnel rotation of defense line sets. the one thing that came back reading this dialogue you guys are having was a stat something to do with those teams that score near the end of the halves are the ones that win games with some evidence it appeared to be true in Ram games. there was a bad rip for us that had us allowing points at the end oby leafnose - RamsFootballFans.com
that seems brightly illuminated right now can stick with a guy who can call an offensive set, and make audibles at the line might even be able to field the Wash st kid if it came to it. certainly has the smarts and is better with training I am very content to let the youngster from Cal wait for the lights to come onby leafnose - RamsFootballFans.com
To Max; I get the frustration. I did lament the high price to acquire a QB, and the missed chance to acquire more talent for the holes. And, woeful results for over a decade are infuriating. But the trade has been made and I just have to look forward To Grits: as well assessed situation as one could find to read of the current state of affairs.

Count me in as enticed by your energy directed at Forrest. The kid sure hadn't caught my eye up to through the 3rd preseason game My attention wandered plenty while checking out the 4th game. All the linebackers ended making at least one play. Chubb, Grigsby, Forrest. I don't mind at all that Kentucky has some weight to him.

A. What Max said!! Jumping twice was an abomination. Especially, in critical downs. And again, Rams play like they practice, so it was disturbing that he blew it twice in the same game. B. Merlin response totally fits. I thought he and TJ were not playing "man-up" football. TJ is a brute, and he was still ramping up from injury, so I can see through that.

Youngblood's broken leg, and playing not only in the Conference game, but the Super Bowl, and the Pro Bowl !

yes; thoroughly enjoyed Chase making the turn, and steaming up the sideline; good stuff. only a couple plays stick with me from the offense as far as receptions the iron hands of Duke Williams showed up on that snatched ball. how I'd like to have seen him emerge. just never got real shots in live PS games. yeah, the one brutal drop. but never got him opened up in the seam at all. for suby leafnose - RamsFootballFans.com
raced through the game on dvr didn't really bother to assess the OL interested to get the thoughts here of who made it, who didn't. guess we'll all know by tomorrow afternoon seeing Rhaney start was a surprise at center Kush did a pretty good job of sealing the guy in front of him on the one TD run. beyond that I didn't get muchby leafnose - RamsFootballFans.com
they deal all those picks to acquire a QB think that a trade minus players to be named is thin. I don't believe that Snead sees his roster as deep enough to trade a value player; You're sending Kendricks away?

testament to Roger's versatility any spot but center I think he is left handed, so it's not all together natural to play outside at RT one more time the consistency with the OL plays into the season, before it starts.

long odds on a number of guys getting a gig, but I'll admit that this is as much an audition for the practice squad as it is for making the 53 Seau had a miserable game last week.

I just sure hope that Cooper has some gifts that just have yet to be appreciated KJ Dillon, a player I felt we could use, had quite a night.....racking up lots of tackles on the way Dillon is a safety, and right now it sure feels like we could use a bit more talent right there. we'll see, but right now Cooper didn't seem to add enough to the stable of players at his position. prove me wrby leafnose - RamsFootballFans.com
