will be interested in him. Maybe not for that money, but they will want him on their team. And I get that the Rams may have to release him because his salary is too high and other teams may not want to make that investment.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
That is a fact that Austin is playing well. I don't get this barrage of criticism and week after week, he is involved in key plays. He is doing the little things too like blocking. He is just a neat player to have in your stable of playmakers. This isn't a greg robinson situation at all. He is playing well in his limited opportunities and not pouting about it. When the Rams lost Az Hby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
that is why you want him in there. He makes the team better and improves the chances of winning. It really it is that simple. I don't see this Cooper being a better returner. I just don't see it. Every game, he produces plays in his limited opportunities.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
I attributed the improvement on 3rd downs is playing Gurley on that down.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
Use Tavon while you got him. If he ends up being too expensive so be it, but while you got him, he can help win football games and to be honest, this may be the Rams best chance to advance in the playoffs now (THIS YEAR) Same with Watkins. Something is up there. I see the posts that one week that showed all the times he was open. He may be unsignable but go for the superbowl, NOW, thisby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com

on Thursday night. He leads the league in drops and put up 200+ yards. I think he dropped a couple in that game as well.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
That would be interesting. Long ways to go, but I think the Eagles and the Rams are the best 2 teams in the NFC now that Rodgers is out. If Bradford had not gotten injured, I put the Vikings in the hunt. I guess as bad as Seattle is on offense, somehow they always win with Wilson as the QB (he is a winner) Cowboys have that dominant offensive line, but their passing game continues to underby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
and I believe he was In the backfield with Gurley on the same play once today. and yes, I hope they go back to him on punt returns. I like Austin. He is always a threat to make a big play.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
He is much better than what many on this board give him credit for and finds ways to contribute.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
The coaching getting rid of playing twister with 22 bodies occupying the same space is the greatest improvement. #2 is elimination Greg Robinson. These 2 factors make 95% of the Gurley improvement. People forget that Gurley's demise actually occurred in his rookie season after those first 4 games and defense had video on him and Fisher kept trying to drive the square peg through the rounby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
That is an A+ move by the coach.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
Offense went from great to average. Problems 1) No presnap motion - early reads 2) Receivers are boxed in specific roles so defense knows that certain WRs only run certain plays 3) I think early video is out on Rams. 4) The quick snap offense is no longer a surprise It was a given that 3 and 4 would happen, but #1 and #2 could be fixed with some adjustments.

but he was more than bad on offense. It was some of the worst offense in NFL history.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
Each WR runs certain pass patterns. The video is out and the other teams know now how to play the Rams. It is more of the same each week. But at least, he runs more than the 5-7 plays Fisher ran.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
Each player has a set of plays that he runs, especially in the passing game. So the defense knows WR 1 runs patterns A, B, C. WR 2 runs patterns D, E, F WR 3 runs patterns G, H, I The video is out now and other teams have seen the video and he hasn't changed his tendencies.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
but I still think he is a significant upgrade on offense, but the offense is now becoming less dynamic and has not been near as special. I think he wants to put each player in a specific role too much which is making it more bland than I thought it would be. But Fisher has yielded some of the worse offense in NFL history right before our eyes. Fisher did ok as an overall coach, but was juby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
Not only do I believe that Brady would not have been able to save Fisher, I think he would have looked bad and played poorly in that offense. One of the luxuries that Brady has always had is Time. The offense is so predictable that defenses can bring the house on all the 3rd and 8s and there are many of those because of the predictable running game resembling a game of twister. but on thby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com

Higbee was nice but you do not win championships with backup players and tight ends. Bottom line Watkins and Gurley need to do the heavy lifting and Watkins was completely wasted and as the photos on this board showed, there were big plays available for him that game.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
when you are weaker in an area, hire somebody good and let them do their job. Stay out of their way.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
In the NFL to have a receiver with 1-2 steps with no inside help the defender caught behind his back is an automatic reception. All the defender can do is go through his back. All of these photos are undeniable of missed opportunities. I thought I saw some of this on replays but these photos are undeniable.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
versus just being the guy to go deep 2 times a game. Give him those 4 yard passes and see him turn them into bigger gains. He can make small corners bounce off of him with his strength.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
Goff reminds me of Alex Smith some with skill sets, body style, movements, arm, etc. Despite may disdain on how McVay approached the game yesterday, I still believe he is a good coach and has made a big difference in Goff's improvement. Goff is very lucky that the change was made as his career was heading down a dark path with Fisher and he would have no chance of developing under Fisher.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
the few times that they threw to him, he was not open. watch replays of plays and you see Watkins open many times. Given that, and I am the biggest Watkins fan based on his highlights and his early success averaging 1000 yards before his injury, he seems to not be right in the head right now. I believe they mismanaged his ego so much that he is pouting. By not getting him involved eaby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
