Re: Good memory... but I was thinking... - 3 days ago

Perkins might be able to do some damage with a swing pass or a screen. It's an interesting idea as an option to get Perkins in space with the ball in his hands.

Great observations as always. Thank you - 3 days ago

I did not realize Takk McKinley generated a holding call. That is good to know. He did so in only a handful of snaps. Grant Haley had a quick burst to the LOS on running plays. It seemed like he was quick to diagnose them and quick to dive in. Benny Skow, Blanton and Powell could bring some needed balance. As could Akers. That late game 53 yards on six carries in one drive was important.

Kordell Stewart Nicknamed "Slash" - 3 days ago

Kordell had 658 receiving yards 2,874 rushing yards and 38 rushing TDs as a QB/WR/RB. His first couple of seasons he had 235 yards and 293 yards receiving. In Kordell's second season in the NFL, he had 5 TDs rushing and 3 TDs receiving while only throwing 30 passes.

Skow & Powell (Blanton) - 5 days ago

Skow and Powell are contributing to the offense. I am glad Blanton is back. I am happy for him to have had a big play. video:

The two 3rds the Rams get for Morris won't be worth it - 5 days ago

I was incredibly sad to lose Brandon Staley after one stellar season as the Rams DC. But Raheem has been an even better DC. Half your DBs are out, Von is gone, Leonard Floyd is dealing with knee issue and the Rams hold Murray/Kingsbury to FGs.

Re: Rams offense thrived against Falcons with Ben Skowronek at fullback - 10 days ago

A lot of teams are using DB/LB hybrids now. Skowronek at FB makes sense as a counter to all these light boxes. Almost every NFL team seems to be playing the Fangio roof umbrella coverage. Run them out of it and when they creep up, take a shot. The run heavy I formation becomes the pass heavy 11 personnel formation in an instant. I thought it was the best Skowronek has looked.

I remember Buddy Ryan calling the intentional safety punt w/ the Eagles - 10 days ago

Wolf probably remembers it from the Cowboys in 2020 on SNF. But it sounds like they did so with an offensive strategy. Cowboys get weird with intentional safety, onside punt and Twitter loves it Great point about having Gay kick it.

99 is the only pass rusher to stop - 11 days ago

The Rams need someone who can take advantage of the attention paid to Donald. It was good to see how effective Durant was on the CB blitz. He has the quick speed to get to the QB in a hurry. Hopefully he and Floyd get healthy soon.

So, that 7th fastest ball carrier means Ramsey has not lost a step - 11 days ago

That is good news. Ramsey has the length, strength, hands and speed to remain an elite CB. I could read his lips after the int. He was saying "Ho do you like me now?" Hopefully with this big play Ramsey is getting some momentum going in his game.

A defense can't have enough cover corners and pass rushers - 11 days ago

The Rams loose two corners and still have Jalen Ramsey, David Long Jr, Robert Rochell and Derion Kendrick. I am missing Von Miller though.

Jackson had the 42 starts at LT at Iowa. He got some playing time as a rookie and the start today. Alaric is holding up and developing.

Re: Good block, Skow... - 12 days ago

I like Skow lining up at FB. At 6'3" 224 he can block. He can also go in motion and all of a sudden, a run look I formation is 11 personnel

Jalen Ramsey is 6'1'' 208 lbs and turns 28 years old next month - 17 days ago

You raised an interesting point which brought AW to mind. Aneas Williams was listed at 5'11'' and 200 lbs. Aneas was 35 years old when he switched from CB to S. I'd love to see Ramsey add that Peanut Tillman FF punch.
