Re: McVay explains what led to Atwell being inactive in Week 4… - Today

Quotemtramfan “Really just for the overall (special) teams and just kind of the overall approach. Could be very different this week,” McVay said. “We’ve had more moving parts than we’ve ever had since I’ve been here and going to the early parts of the season. That’s why it was really just exclusive to yesterday, not anything that (WR) TuTu didn’t do, and we’ll see what that means for his status t

Re: What we are seeing now tells me otherwise. It's INEXCUSABLE! - Yesterday

Part of the reason is Whitworth's retirement. He was not only a HOF tackle but like another coach on the field and in the locker room. The OL lost their leader.

Re: 6 takeaways from Rams' 24-9 loss to the 49ers - 2 days ago

It was 14-9 to start the 4th quarter, that is not a "blow out" as this writer said twice in the article. KC blew out Tampa Bay but this wasn't even close to that descriptive phrase.

Re: NO!!! I cannot get the game!!!!!!!!!!! - 2 days ago

You can watch any sports online legally. What is illegal is pirating and producing the stream thus why most come from outside the U.S. But just watching it isn't a crime.

It could have been worse... - 2 days ago

Much worse if Creed had landed with an NFC team. Greg Gaines gets to meet him right after Thanksgiving so that should be interesting.

And now he may get fined for talking about it. :confused I agree with him though and respect his desire to speak out.

Re: If I'M tua?? I'm DONE for this season and quite possibly career. - 4 days ago

I agree. If I were Tua's father I would advise him to not play again this year, invest his money and consider retirement. The chances of CTE are elevated for him as it is for all athletes that take head shots. They have found that even girls bouncing soccer balls off their heads have increased levels of brain damage. I remember the "old days" when we would simply say he got his "

Wearing #92 I would assume he is also a lineman. I imagine they couldn't find a kicker and held a competition in camp? :laughing

Re: Shaky confidence in McVay when it comes to medical issues - 11 days ago

Well thank goodness that Sean kept many of our injured players out of preseason to avoid injuries. :confused:S

I totally agree. - 11 days ago

Another part of the equation is an involvement in other sports. In relation to baseball pitchers it was determined that those that were multi-sport athletes in like basketball, volleyball, etc. actually helped their arms and bodies stay healthier. So much emphasis is spent on one sport that other areas of the body do not get as strong and therefore become injury prone. I know the athletic trainer

Re: Where have all of the Rams explosive plays gone? - 13 days ago

Get the running game up and these problems may fix themselves.

Re: I hear Matt Araiza is available. - 16 days ago

I agree however on the punt after the safety he even shanked that out of bounds giving the Falcons the ball at the 50. I think he may have gotten hurt on that block so I would not be surprised to see another punter signed this week.

Re: Do they not televise Thursday night games anymore? - 18 days ago

The old cable and satellite TV access is fading and will eventually be replaced by streaming services. Amazon, Netflix, Apple+, Disney+, Roku, Peacock, Hulu, etc. will compete for online coverage. The old will go the way of newspapers as commercial revenue will drop as subscribers do. Personally I have interest in watching live Rams games (and haven't missed one in years) online but did away w

Probably an administrative processing fee akin to court costs.

Re: We could throw in Tutu - 20 days ago

Based on what I've seen to date, throwing Tutu anywhere wouldn't be that difficult. :)

Of course, yes. - 20 days ago

I love Matthew but Herbert is a "young gun" that should be a top QB for the next 10 years not 2 or 3.

Re: We will need ARob! - 28 days ago

QuoteRamsdude If ARob can be as good as he was before last year (and I think he can and will) Allen Robinson was as good last year (other than a midseason injury) than before but his stats didn't show it. They only dropped because his targets per game number did. His only game with double digit targets was game 1 vs. the Rams (11, he caught 6). He was seemingly phased out of the offense by th

Re: How can SI project Rams to lose more games in ‘22than ‘21? - 4 weeks ago

It used to annoy me every year when the pundits would "boldly" predict the most recent SB winner to repeat. They couldn't see how anyone could stop KC, New England, Seattle, NY Giants, etc. Wasn't Tampa the team to beat last year? Enough sportswriters said they would repeat at this time a year ago. Yet, nobody has picked the Rams as that team to beat. A few have said they would repeat s

Re: I love how Packers are favorites to win the Super Bowl every year - 4 weeks ago

Yeah, the pundits love "Throw Rogan" at QB, the MVP of LSD. At least he has Sammy Watkins now who is good for one great game a year.

Re: Tom Brady and Wife fighting over his decsion to un-retire - 4 weeks ago

Being a fulltime father is more emotionally draining than being an NFL QB. Physically safer but I wonder if he is avoiding the drama, angst and responsibility. His wife is also a professional and her career will last longer than his so maybe it's time for Tommy Boy to step up to life outside the pads.

Tutu has a role. - 4 weeks ago

IMHO, Tutu is there to "take the top" off defenses and open up the field for the other WR's, the same role that McVay has wanted and couldn't find. Mostly a decoy but with Matthew's arm, if he gets a step on his coverage....well, you know the rest.

Re: Sporting News has Rams ranked #8 - 4 weeks ago

This writer, Vinnie Iyer, also picked the Bengals to win the SB. He's a long time and very mediocre predictor of games with about a 65% lifetime accuracy. I wouldn't take anything he says to heart, he's no better than your next door neighbor at the job he just gets paid to type his opinion.

Re: Aaron Donald downplays last week’s helmet-swinging fiasco - 4 weeks ago

"It’s conduct for which someone would have been arrested and charged, if it had happened on the street." What a stupid comment. If I speared a guy, pancaked him or threw someone onto the ground, I would also be arrested and charged. It's football. If any of it happened on the street, 22 guys could be arrested and charged.

Re: Anyone else think the very first game, Buffalo, will be our toughest of season? - 6 weeks ago

The reverse also holds true. It may be Buffalo's toughest game of the year also and they are playing it in LA against the defending SB champions. But putting it into further perspective it will be far from either team's most important game regardless of the outcome. I predicted last year that they would meet in the SB and I see no reason yet to change that for this year.
