QuoteRamsFanSince69 Does Bones have to focus on him instead of the other special teams plays/runbacks/blocking that the Rams have been doing so well? GZ was certainly low maintenance, now Fickens will be high maintenance. I don't think he will be "high maintenance" but I do think Bones might be able to give him some pointers and maybe some added confidence. Seems like Bones has a wayby Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com

Ficken does have one thing going for him in that he's got the Special Teams BEST coach in the league to help him!! I have confidence that "Bones" will bring the best out of this kid. If not, we still have 3 weeks before playoffs start to find another kicker. We should know if he's a keeper or not by then. :thumbsupby Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteXXXIVwin Like all of you, the terrible GZ news freaked me out, so I thought I’d share two positive- sounding articles about Ficken’s recent stint with the Kansas City Chiefs this preseason. We will rally around Sam Ficken and play good football. Thanks to GZ for an amazing season and best wishes for recovery. searching the cupboard for packets of Kool-aid....

That talent would have been relegated on my list just below "extraordinary talent for origami". - JamesJM Well, as long as he is able to maintain his lane responsibility on kick coverage...we should be OK. lol The other 9 kickers that tried out must have been horrible.

Quoteoldschoolramfan My fellow Ram Fans, #16 is having quite a year. In fact, a very, very good year. Goff took it upon himself to be McVay's side kick all off season. Learning the language, learning the playbook, and just being around the facility on a daily basis. Becoming the "Silent Leader" of our offense. He bought in to the "It's We, Not Me" motto of McVay from Day #by Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteLMU93 Well the thing going for them is they have clinched literally nothing yet. I would guess that is the theme and focus. Agreed. If a Division title is not enough motivation, I do not know what is. After everything they have been through, I am SURE McVay will have them focused on the big picture...NFC West Champs!! That has been the theme all year. Not too high...not too low which explaby Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRockRam The Niners: 1) Garapolo is good. But don't buy the hype. He missed open receivers while not under pressure on numerous occasions. 2) The Niners have several young WRs with potential; but none of them scare you. 3) The Niners D is good but not elite. Solid. Can be be gashed in the run game and thrown over in the pass game. 4) Hyde a pretty decent NFL RB but nothing special.by Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotestlramz near the end of the game that the Rams aren't going anywhere in the playoffs. I told Nostrodamus if he was so good at telling the future, why did he choose to attend this game? Crickets. Beautiful response Sir. Well played!!! :thumbsupby Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteGlacieRam and win the division, does McVay sit Gurley, Goff, Whitworth, Woods, Watkins... etc. so as to not risk injury or do they play anyway?? If the Rams win this Suday, I think that the Niner game will be more like a preseason game since it becomes very insignificant to the Rams playoff position. Thoughts? I say play them for a few series to a half then pull them. No need to risk injuby Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRamsFanSinceLA As I understand it, a progression is just that. You look at option 1 ... open? Nope, look at option 2 ... open? Yep, throw him the ball, etc. So the question in my mind is why isn't Watkins option #1 more? Based on all of these stills that get posted every week showing how wide open he always is one might think that he should be the first read. What read is he? 3rd?by Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteCeeZar OL sucks and needs major repair. They are old and will have a greater number of injuries as a result. Have salary cap issues. The Legion of Boom is done. They may well have an above average defense for a couple of more years, but it won't be dominating. And the offense will take time to fix since they won't have the cap $$ to do it through FA.

QuoteArizonaRamFan So if the ball first contacts any part of the field short of the goal line, it stays a live ball even into the endzone? That's even MORE reason that the Seahawks (or whichever team) MUST field a "short kick" at the 1 rather than hope they've appeased the football pantheon enough to avoid a bad bounce. I don't think it has to "contact any part of the field sby Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteSaguaro Unlike on a punt, even the ball bouncing "into" the endzone would not end the play. It would have to bounce out of the endzone, otherwise it's a live ball and can be recovered by either team, even in the endzone. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. What am I saying? Of course you will! lol. Yes, just like Robert Bailey's 103 yard kickoff return against the Saints in 'by Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSpeed_Kills And literally just hung up with Saguaro about this very topic Goff is still very green.... he misses a lot. Watkins doesn’t know what hes doing ... he doesn’t. He admitted as much in that article from last week. The Rams right now are getting minimal production from their TEs. They too need time and seasoning IMO the upside of this team is pretty scary.

Quotegovane QB not even looking his way. This was third down before 2nd FG. Uh.....we won 42-7. Do we really need to dwell on this "Missed an Open Watkins" stuff? We get it.

QuoteSaguaro that after every loss this year by the Rams, the players were all saying "I hope we see that team again!" He called them fearless. Ok, so this is a tiny sample size here.
