No offense but this is idiocy. The complete lack of value you place in a player based on the successes of some teams, running some systems is illogical at best. Gurley is a star player. His presence is felt on the field at all times. New England, Philly, any team with any system would be very happy to have him.by cool_hand_luke - RamsFootballFans.com

Did not read the whole thread but saw people mentioning McVay likes using two te sets. This is incorrect, for last season at least. The Rams almost entirely run a 11 formation. I can get specific numbers when I have more time but the Rams through all downs run 11. Higbee first and second and Everett third down(sometimes). Everett was most often spread wide on the barrier of the formation. Cby cool_hand_luke - RamsFootballFans.com
Wade has said that his ilbs are not expected to man up on the guards and the coverage responsilities for the ilbs are high. In my opinion, having a stud two gap nose would solve alot of the issues in the run game. Moreso, than finding a new ilb. Payne, AL, or Vea, Washington seem like good fits at this moment.by cool_hand_luke - RamsFootballFans.com
I am impressed with Troy's play. Versus TN these corners were on an island. Yes, they both missed some plays--that is the NFL, as I am sure everyone is aware. But Troy plays with solid fundamentals and has athletisicm. Good Player.by cool_hand_luke - RamsFootballFans.com
I would trade for Watkins again and make it a priority to resign him. He has been excellent. The numbers arent there but the production definitely is there. Watkins is always attacking the strength of the coverage. For example, versus the Titans LeBeau was running either a single high safety in a 5 under one deep look, or he was in thirds coverage. On the touchdown to Kupp, Watkins was assiby cool_hand_luke - RamsFootballFans.com
Gerald plays almost every third down in 11 package--usually spread wide on the boundary. For a rookie, his playing time is significant. As a reference, look at the difference between Higbee year 1 and year 2. A year in the wieght room and learning the NFL, system is a near requirement. Everett is not getting targets when he is in.by cool_hand_luke - RamsFootballFans.com
I disagree strongly with two of Benoit's thoughts. Gurley is a monster. I have studied the games this season and Gurley is an exceptional rb. Acceleration, Speed. lateral quickness, power, etc. Does Gurley benefit from play design? Yes. Does Gurley individually maximize the amount of yards available to him? Strong yes. This is(was) my problem with Steven Jackson--he minimized the yards avby cool_hand_luke - RamsFootballFans.com

Titans are without their top two corners likely. Would expect them to sell out to stop Gurley. Good bet Goff shoulders the offensive load tomorrow.by cool_hand_luke - RamsFootballFans.com
One thing to note--and there is alot of evidence in that video--is Robert Quinn's pass rush. We have talked about Quinn always(well 95%+) using an outside speed rush. I believe this is a scheme decision. Donald's most common alignement is the outside shoulder of a guard. With Quinn on a speed rush, there is no ability for an offensive line to double team him. Quinn's speed rush provides extrby cool_hand_luke - RamsFootballFans.com
Only through the first quarter, but a bad is Jamon Brown's pass blocking. Also, a good is Higbee's run blocking and the run blocking of all the WRs. Been very impressed with their downfield blocking.by cool_hand_luke - RamsFootballFans.com
In the first quarter of the Seahawks game, I thought Goff made a couple of excellent throw aways. Plays that in previous years the ball may have been thrown for turnover. These type of plays rarely get attention, but are important to winning and show maturity in decision making.by cool_hand_luke - RamsFootballFans.com
Saffold is doing things at guard that I didn't think were possible. His ceiling is higher than anyone, but consistency through the season is an area of improvement.by cool_hand_luke - RamsFootballFans.com
As the Seahawks, I would focus on moving to more of a two tight end power running team. I would let Jimmy walk. And would draft multiple guard/tackles. My first pick would hopefully be a do it all running back. Luke Wilsson and Vannett are ok to good tightends that would work well in this situation. My thought process is I can't block Donald. But I can take him out of obvious pass rushby cool_hand_luke - RamsFootballFans.com
I have watched and studied Russell Wilson and could not disagree with this statement more. Russell is an exceptionally accurate pocket passer who delivers the ball short, medium and long w equal proficiency. Judging Russell off of our last game with him is a fool's gambit. I would be happy to provide you ample evidence of the prowess of Russell in the pocket. He is forced to run, at times,by cool_hand_luke - RamsFootballFans.com

I've been watching Seahawks games and Joekel and Pocic are the weak links. Pocic gets beat by power, strength consistently. And Joekel is amazing stiff, non agile. Fwiw.by cool_hand_luke - RamsFootballFans.com
I have been going through the Seahawks and Jaguars film. The Seattle oline is very inconsistent. The last drive of the first half they looked excellent--executing difficult run blocks again and again. However, pass blocking and most the time the run blocking is not good. The key to me is matching Donald on Joekel. Joekel does not have any tools to in any way slow down Donald. Joekel isby cool_hand_luke - RamsFootballFans.com
Agreed. The number of uncalled offensive holding and hands to the face penalties was easily in the teens. Mind boggling.by cool_hand_luke - RamsFootballFans.com
Obviously the wr makes a difference in drops. But how much credit do you give to Goff--ball placement, and coaching--scheming guys open, etc.by cool_hand_luke - RamsFootballFans.com
Teams evolve through the year. Are the Rams the same team now as they were in weeks 1-4? Certainly not imo, the defense is substantially different at a minimum. Homefield advantage is not taken into account, nor is the difference in a team after a bye, after a loss, etc. For example, the Vikings have all of their wins vs playoff teams at home except one. Home Wins: Saints Ravens?by cool_hand_luke - RamsFootballFans.com
I am concerned about Whit handling quickness. He can stop an outside rush, but he looks very stiff adjusting to a rusher's change in positioning. For example, faking outside than going inside. He adjusts slowly to the change in direction. Frank Clark is excellent at this type of fake action. This matchup could determine the game. If Whit can't handle Clark the majority of the time we doby cool_hand_luke - RamsFootballFans.com
I definitely agree with that statement. The closest thing I have designed in the read option w Russell keeping the ball. They ran this a few times in the Eagles game, Russell kept the ball on the first play. One other note, I think Russell is genuine. He is a very special dude. I have not met him but do some research on him, and I think you will change your opinion that he is a phony.by cool_hand_luke - RamsFootballFans.com
Wanted to add some input to this thread regarding the Seattle Offense and Russell Wilson. A little background, I am currently building a new way of reporting on NFL stats--a dynamic to the user system. So, I am going through games and logging data on each play. This is very time consuming but I just finished the Seattle Philly game. Russell is a simply excellent quarterback in all areas ofby cool_hand_luke - RamsFootballFans.com
