Bengals don't expect Jalen Ramsey to shadow one WR and won't be afraid to target him, either Cameron DaSilva The Los Angeles Rams face a big test in Super Bowl LVI with the Cincinnati Bengals’ receiving corps, a talented group that’s headlined by Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd. All three went over 800 yards, contributing in different ways to help Joe Burrow put together the tby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Cooper Kupp used to text Zac Taylor at midnight with ideas for Rams offense Cameron DaSilva Cooper Kupp put together one of the best seasons ever by a wide receiver – and he continues to dominate during the postseason with another 25 catches, 386 yards and four touchdowns in the Rams’ three wins. He didn’t become the best wideout in football because of his athletic gifts, however. Heby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Sean McVay finds coaching tree talk ridiculous, but losing assistants creates 'positive stress' Cameron DaSilva Rams over Bengals seems to be the bet you need to make By now, Sean McVay must expect to lose at least a couple of valuable assistant coaches each and every year.

If Bengals drop 8 then punish them with runs. If the Bengals sell out to stop run then give them a heavy dose of passes. It’s really almost that simple. Rams survived the challenging NFC West, so they should definitely be able to handle these Bengals. Chiefs stubbornness in playcalling in that 2nd half was their downfall. Frankly, I think it was the only way that the Bengals could winby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteLMU93 Interesting article by Football Outsiders (w/ video clips) breaking down KC's 2nd half collapse vs. CIN last Sunday. Basically says: - Chiefs OL pass blocked well in spite of how poorly the offense did overall on 3rd downs. - CIN basically rushed 3 and dropped 8 into coverage on every 3rd down. - KC ran the ball well in the 2nd half (10-59 yards by RBs) but should have ran more.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
One can’t legislate racial equality. Can’t be done successfully. Rooney rule and affirmative action are well intentioned with lofty goals but they just don’t work. Heck, affirmative action laws are actually and technically reverse discrimination. Society is gonna have to outgrow this problem. And society can sometimes move very slowly. I will say this.

That Morris discussion thread that you referenced was started on Nov 15, 2021. It contains 1220 posts over 61 pages, and counting. Some posters defend Morris and others don’t. Most concede that he finally got his D up to snuff but it took him too long. Needless to say Morris’ D results, particularly early on, have been quite controversial.

See, there you go. You asked for an example of ‘just one needed adjustment’ and I gave you 9 that Morris has done since October. We’re talking past each other.

Here’s oldnotdead. Lol. I'm glad Morris is being more aggressive with his play. That said the question remains is what took him so long? Was it because the light went on for him? Or was it because of heat from the top? I tend to think it was the latter rather than the former. How he's played the defense during the playoffs isn't how he played them during the season.

QuoteAlbaNY_Ram He's fair catching punts. i.e., he's on the punt return team when the only options are to fair catch the ball or let it go into the endzone.

QuoteRAMbler If they're pass blocking is that bad, they shouldn't stand a chance at protecting Burrow against our pass rush.
