Quotemax On 3rd and 3-7, Goff is just awful, with a rating of 46.5. That has got to improve drastically if the Rams are to win this game. In 2018 Goff's qb rating on 3rd and 3-7 was 89.2. In 2017 it was 119.1. So it is "Goff"? Or Goff in a situation where he is pressured more than any other qb in the league? Interestingly, he is very good on 3rd and 11+.

Quotewaterfield But if on game night for the Baltimore game and his arthritis flares up before the game and you continue to run him 25 times don't you see how that can and likely will impact his abilities for the Arizona, Seattle, and Dallas games ? Truth is this is not an either or issue. Simply put, it isn't 1) he's done and can't be effective so lets admit it or 2) he's back to his old self aby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotespagsbacker but DESERVEDLY. No. That;s not why any starting caliber qb signing a 2nd contract after Goff will get more money. They will ALL get more money, and they will all get more because 2nd contracts go up every year. This is especially easy to follow with qbs. Goff got HIS money (same as Wentz) for the same reason--that was the amount starting caliber qbs were getting for 2nd contracby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotesacram Hopefully we could all agree, that TG getting TWELVE touches in a game that he is on the field for 57 plays in a very tight game doesn't seem like it is a winning formula, especially when you factor in the current state of our offense and specifically the OLine. ? No I don't agree with that. I think it depends on you making a lot of assumptions. For one they need his pasby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotesacram If they are indeed saving him, hopefully they aren't too late. The alternative was to risk wearing out the arthritic knee to the point where it flared up again, which could have meant not having him at all.

Quotesacram Yeah there are 2 different trains of thought on that in this thread. If that is indeed the case, hopefully TG isn't going to be ready to go in the playoffs while only being able to watch them on TV. I didn't follow that. If WHAT is the case, the result will be he only watches the playoffs on tv.by zn - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotewaterfield It has nothing to do with how many plays he is getting in a game. It has to do with how his arthritic knee is feeling. If he arrives at the stadium and his knee is painful enough to limit his movement he won't be getting the same number of plays he otherwise would. Neither management, Gurley, or we fans can control it. I think that we tend to want it to be connected to "manaby zn - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRams43 I think more was occurring than snap management, zn. The ‘19 Gurley seemed but a shadow of his early ‘18 self, snap management or no. You misunderstand me. Or I misunderstood somoene.

QuoteL.A.Rams The most positive indication that Gurley is back in form is that he made some good plays on screen passes. That aspect of his game had been missing this season until the Bears game. He was never NOT in form this year. They were just managing his snaps.by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotewaterfield Most of us will suffer from arthritic pain as we age. However, we don't play professional football. Those of us who do suffer well know how painful some days are and some days are not. Steroid shots (cortisone) directly into the arthritic area (joints) can and often do eliminate the pain temporarily-enough I suspect for a player to play an entire game. However, there is a downsideby zn - RamsFootballFans.com

Limit his touches (zero in the 4th quarter in a 1 score game) against Pittsburgh coming off a bye which was preceded by a game where he had his least touches of the season.

QuoteRockRam I don't know what more Troy Hill has to do. The guy has a done a good job. He tackles well, defends passes well, and grades well each game.

Quotesacram Looking at his snap counts, it sure seems like TG's lack of usage is more play calling than lack of playing time.

QuoteRams_81 It is about having a predictable, stale offense. BS. The Fisher Rams were about having no starting caliber veteran qb most of the time combined with not having a relatively healthy veteran OL most of the time.

Quotemax Includes last few games. Pittsburgh was not good for anyone. Goff got pummeled. Yeah the difference between Edwards and Evans amounts to this--Evans played only the Chicago game so far.

Quotemax Gurley remarked that it was good running behind this OL because they are big. So what’s the difference? Well, there’s Corbett, Edwards and Evans, instead of Noteboom, Havenstein, and especially Allen. The new guys are a bigger, thicker, and stronger, and get more push. Disagree.
