QuoteSpeed_Kills Because he didn’t realize he needed to. He was still wedded to the 3 WR offense pass pass pass run play action but don’t actually run offense If Brown doesn’t get hurt we don’t have CJ. Gurley was hurting down the stretch. Heck even though he went 120 against the Lions he was hurting in that game. Of course Brown was hurt against the Lions too Then boom the wheels came offby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
He's just a much better back than Brown. That's the simple truth and I like Brown. McVay never gave Brown more than a handful of touches in game because he's not on the same level.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotechunkmeister Gurley clearly has more speed once he gets in the open field. But CJ's burst to the hole is deceiving. You can see CJ is reading where the hole is....and it almost looks like he hesitates, but he is moving quickly and with great burst. But beyond burst, I think CJ is actually better at identifying the hole. Vision.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRockRam I don't think our D players are nearly as good as some of us thought. Peters, for instance is NOT a press man CB; he's a cover corner and needs to play "off". Suh, I don't know. I see an above average NFL DT at this point in his career, but not much more. Certainly vastly overpaid. Brockers is better than he's given credit for, but he's not an elite player.

Quotewaterfield That's an admission Gurley is not well. If so that eliminates a huge protective weapon for Goff who will have to be 200%. Can he? Why isn't it an admission that CJ is very good and has performed admirably in our offense? I daresay what he did the last 2 weeks equaled and possibly surpassed what we've seen from Gurley.

QuoteEternalHorns - We did it in Dallas - We are better this year than we were last year I like our chances a lot. Dallas had one of the best D's in the league this year. I don't believe they did last year. Why is that? They can't be that identical right with that huge difference?by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSpeed_Kills I’m not sure much changes at all The Bears had already shown they could hold our offense down. They matched up well against us. The Cowboys have a good D but they haven't proven that already. And since the playoffs are mostly a game of match ups, we have yet to know if they match up well against us. I like our chances much better.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotezn Quotejemach I have seen, because I'm the complainer, a lack of passing in the middle of the field. Passing in the hashes is rare. Most passes are closer to the numbers and outside the numbers. Part of the issue is not having a big body who can run downfield and take up space by speed and size. Our TE's typcially are catches outside the nubmers...in fact, Everett often lines up wide.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteClassicalwit QuoteRamgator That guy has had THE worst luck with big kick returns called back On the other hand, the reason he scores is often because of those illegal blocks. I don't know about this. He had so many with the Rams where the illegal block wasn't even in the vicinity of where he was. Those are just bad luck. He had plenty of that type.

Quotemax The Rams are resigning Saffold, and are very interested in signing Fowler. All the others like Sully, Peters, Suh, etc. are up in the air right now.

Quotejemach Are the Rams that stupid? The question wasn't should he be extended after this season. It was: "have we, and by extension have the Rams, seen enough to know he's worth extending?" That IMO is a no-brainer yes. If he's anywhere close to a top 10 QB as you suggested elsewhere, that's enough to warrant an extension at some point.

Quotejemach it really is nothing special anymore. Goff needs to play another year before we can even discuss an extension. I don't see a top 10 QB right now.

QuoteLos Angeles Lenny I agree with age and maturation, and we have been starved of QB talent since Warner, but are we way over paying for potential?

QuoteRockRam Denver restructured Miller and his cap numbers are horrible. Think $25 mil is bad? If they trade or release him, the number jumps to $28 mil next year. Miller ain't goin' nowhere.

This means the Broncos would pay $19.375M of that contract and the Rams would onby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
