Quotemax This OL is better than the 1999 OL. Pace was great, but Whitworth is no slouch. The rest of this OL is better than that one. Well maybe. But I wasnt impressed with Whitworth against Seattle. I'm concerned he's gonna wear down further as the year goes along towards playoff time. They need London Fletcher. Thats all i'm gonna say. w vby wv ram - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRFL Is indeed the problem. It always is. Always. Can't stop the run? You are in serious trouble. Some weeks back, we read quotations from our lads saying that they had to earn the right to rush the passer by stopping the run. Seems as if they have forgotten that. And I don't see how Talib can help much with that. Earlier in the year, i wasnt too worried about the Run D. I figuby wv ram - RamsFootballFans.com
I dunno. I may be alone here, but I'm just not too worried about Marcus. Too much talent. He reminds me of JJ. I just think he needs some good coaching, and i think he will get that. And like we all keep saying Talib will help him when he gets back. The run defense is the issue to me. Not Peters. Imho. w vby wv ram - RamsFootballFans.com
Well, I assume they will simply not be as good as they were with a healthy-Kupp. It would be like the GSOT losing one of their top three (Ike, Torry, Az). Still good, but not as good. It may cost them a ring. ...though anything can happen between now and the playoffs. Goff could blow out a knee. Brees could blow out a knee. Mahomes could blow out a knee. Etc and so forth.

QuoteJamesJM They see something in him. I hadn't really been that down on Peter's until this last game... he really looked lost to me against the Saints. But I read McVay's 'still believe' comments and I trust that he knows what he's talking about.

Well if its any consolation the photo of Hekker zooming, lurching, contorting toward the invisible first down mark, will make a fine and inspiring poster for bitter and unrepentent ram fans to hang on their walls and carry in their sad wallets. Also, the whole Hekker Robbery could be a rallying cry for the playoffs. It might even fire up Marcus Peters. w vby wv ram - RamsFootballFans.com

Defense definitely has problems. But if one wants to see a silver lining -- the D did make some adjustments, i guess. 35 in the first half. 10 in the second half. Thats gotta mean...somethin. Right? And didnt A.Donald say in his interview that the Saints were doin some things in the first half they didnt expect. But they got a lil more pressure in the second half.

Quotewaterfield Quantum physics is the study of the behavior of matter and energy. Assume the Rams are inside this circle of energy-which in fact they are. If most of that energy is on an elite offenses there simply is not much room inside that limited circle for an elite defense. Soooo-no... I was good at math until we started studying fractions. In WV that was around fourth grade. Sinceby wv ram - RamsFootballFans.com
Well Talib might make a difference, i dunno. I also 'know' they can tackle better. I doubt if they tackle that badly again, against the Saints. At any rate, I never thought the Rams had really separated from the Vikings, Saints, Panthers. The NFC is up for grabs, and a key injury in December could swing things one way or another for the top four teams. Its good to be in the top tier.by wv ram - RamsFootballFans.com
I dunno, James. This all reminds me a lot of the first Titan game in 99. Titans bullied the Rams. Rams fought back, but lost. Away game. Titans looked better at that point. I think they are very very close. But I'd pick the Rams in the rematch. w vby wv ram - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotewaterfield Goff is really good but IMO Brees is even better. The Saints O line is also better and for sure their D secondary is better-maybe a lot better. They are also extremely well coached. When taken all together I think its inescapable that they are better than the Rams. Nevertheless, the Rams in the short McVay years are so much better at this stage than I ever thought they would thatby wv ram - RamsFootballFans.com

Yeah, i just think the Saints are hungrier, and that Dome is a huge advantage. And i just dont think the Rams are significantly better than the saints. They seem evenly matched to me. I think the Saints will dominate early, and then the Rams will make a game of it. Much like the first Titan game in 99. :) w vby wv ram - RamsFootballFans.com

Well thats just true. I was complaining about it back in the early 70s. Seems like LA crowds are pretty awesome when it comes to UCLA and USC, though. Ah well. Maybe the new stadium will make things a bit better, I dunno. But right now, you'd have to say the LA crowd is in the bottom tier of the league as far as helping the home team. I'm not sure who is in the top tier. Seaby wv ram - RamsFootballFans.com
I dunno, but some in the media are probly a little wary of Goff because his skill-set is more...oh...'nuanced' than, say Mahomes. Ya know. Goff doesnt have the Elway-arm, or the big strong body, or running skills, etc. To appreciate Goff, i think ya haf to appreciate the subtle way he moves and way he throws from many angles, and the pinpoint placement.

This ram defense is a strange one. If the packers hadnt fumbled I think the defense might very well have made a big play to win it, anyway. I think its at least as likely as not. Ya know.

Well i dunno the stats, but my eyeballs tell me that Gurley is running thru some nice big holes in the RZ this year. I think the OLine is the big story this year. For me anyway.
