They're gonna be all over the field making plays and sure tackles. ILB is not going to be a problem in this game. Keep in mind we're facing a great offense. Like the 9ers there's gonna be plays where they use the rules of the defense against them and guys will end up open and they're gonna score some points. Key for this defense is team tackling and executing their responsibilities and adjuby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Love the guy. 29 is one of my favorite players ever. Love him in his Rambassador role. But he should keep his team business between him and the team. This is a bad time for him to do that. And for the record I would give him a field access pass. As well as any of the Rams HoF jacket wearing greats. But the SB has extra restrictions and whatnot and again this should be kept between him anby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Williams has never been a guy who can be on an island. He's a guy who is dangerous to QBs if he has help over the top however, because he has good ball instincts. So this is about using him to his strengths. Rams have been doing that. And there's no better game for him to show out than this one so I hope he has a strong finish. :thumbsupby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
He gets overlooked with all the stories going on with this amazing team. But the guy is still doing a great job with consistent punt placement with high hang time allowing the coverage units time to contribute with field position.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com

Well deserved induction for the guy who did the impossible, i.e. leading one of the worst owners and front offices in league history to a championship. You can probably count on one hand the coaches who could have pulled that off in 3 years. And for 88... I'm bummed. I find it disgusting to see the backup at WR too, the quality there, compared to some other positions. Holt needs to be in aby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Rams have been rushing 5 on third down to force singles. So even adding one pass blocker now you can double one guy. Doubling AD means that TE is singled up on either Floyd or Von. Bengals' only hope is that the Rams can't cover their hots and underneath routes. They're gonna use that young QB's aggressiveness and go with slants and other quick throws. So if the Rams can cover those consisby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Then you have to look at Stafford's game and ask where most of his INTs are. He doesn't usually make mistakes underneath, so that's moreso a risk if their rush wins the LOS which is unlikely. Where his worst mistakes happen is when he tries to force it deep which is what Cincy will indeed be hoping for because their safeties are excellent in coverage. Thing is loading the secondary doesn't eby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
He should not be taking carries from the other two guys. If the Rams make that call then it's because they're too close to the decision. Hendy's solid but he's not quite as much a threat as the other two. Even if he gets rolling he'll get dinged up and interrupt the offense's rhythm.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotealyoshamucci Coby Bryant is a football player, long speed might be an issue but he seems quick ... The Waller kid from VT is also in the area. But ... given out ability to draft and train guys we may want to look at Shaun Jolly from App st. late and not worry a top pick over it because there seems to be an area where they run out of CBs.

He's a guy you double. But if we do single him up with Ramsey then I hope you're right. But schematically speaking I wouldn't go in to this game assuming pressures will be there every snap. Do that and you're setting yourself up to watch Burrow make some great plays. Better plan is to remove Chase. Double him. Then Ramsey snuffs out Higgins. And then you have a young QB with his top twoby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSoCalRAMatic Couldn't disagree more. OBJ has played really well but he's not a better all around receiver than Woody. He can catch the ball just as well and may be a hair faster but Woody is a better blocker and runner. It's funny that people get written off after an injury. Woods has been a 1K WR for us for several seasons. Playing with the first 2K WR would open things up for him like theyby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
With a double put him on Chase and position him a little off so he can read the QB. Williams' strength is his anticipation, at least when he's not thinking. We know Burrow is gonna put the ball on Chase so having a ballhawk like Williams is the way to go he just needs help so he can play underneath with confidence. Ramsey meanwhile as great as he is the guy has bad hands. He's never been anby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Don't get me wrong I would be fine with Woody returning. I just don't think it works from numerous angles. Another angle is Stafford's preference. Stafford loves to throw the ball to contested routes and give his guys a chance. Woody's got great hands but he's not that guy with the catch radius and the focus for making catches with guys all over him. Kupp is. Odell is. Higs wasn't befoby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com

Curious who your top targets are for that round. I'm guessing a playmaker is the plan for that first pick as usual, probably CB, TE, S, but interested in the guys you have flagged/circled and highlighted for that round. And btw I get that it's still early without the 40 times and all which will affect those guys.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
First off I'll say again I think he will be a good HC. Because he's got good experience both sides of the ball as a coach. Players respond to him. And he's a heck of a leader which is underrated IMO with all these wannabe-McVay hires that prioritize schematic knowledge. But there are a lot of booby trapped jobs out there this year.

They've been close. The first win over Tampa early this season was pretty good, but not quite their best. I mean this is definitely subjective but I don't think the Rams have put it all together yet this year. They of course might do it in this game and if so they will blow the Bengals out. I think this is definitely a possibility after the slaying of a better team in SF and the fact that tby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
It's just not. Prior to Woody getting hurt there were rumors he wasn't happy with his targets. Probably some smoke there. What do you think will happen with Odell having another camp? I think next year in this offense Odell would be insane, with that full camp here on top of the timing he's got with Stafford already. He would in fact be our WR2 which relegates Woody to even less balls. Plby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
To sit on the mic during games and start screaming when a play should be reviewed. Put the guy in a room with a panel of TVs with different feeds. If his hit rate gets worse than what your goal of successful challenges is, well you fire him and rinse repeat until you find someone who can see it quickly and coordinate that challenge flag with high certainty.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
He's always been in Pete Carroll's corner and still is. The day the McVay hire was announced I was listening to his show and when it was mentioned he said and I quote: "I'll give that one a year." As the div rivals like Pete have watched in horror as the Rams climb to the big game what else is there to do but make excuses for it. "The Rams bought it."

Quotebillywaddy Atleast when Rams lose offensive coordinators they still have Mcvay. It seems like it takes half the year for our D to play good, every time we lose the D coordinator. It took Morris much of the season to really find the sweet spot on his calls, and I'd like to see that investment in time mature with another camp. He is going to get a HC gig, it just might take another year.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com

You're not looking to talk ball. You're looking to show how much better you are than others. The reason it works for 43 is he contributes on that board.

We're all Rams fans. What is occurring here is you are taking something that 43 has always done, which is cross pollinating this site from other servers, and taking it to a dark and ugly place. Basically you seem to enjoy calling attention to yourself in these posts and putting others down. Others who are not privy to your antics. I find it to be deplorable.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Screens, swing passes, and short dumps underneath. Mixon isn't a high production pass catching back but he's actually got some agility to him and since their gameplan will build in plenty of short outlets for their QB making quick tackles underneath will be a premium. This means more Jones and Howard than we saw vs SF. Reeder did a good job filling downhill last game but for this game you waby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
