Quotejemach when they do. Emerge...well...I'll need to review Webster's for that definition. One guy can't run and the other is soft. I'll deal with this issue in the offseason because we will never come to an agreement. I want a Kittle (champagne) and others want what we have (Boone's Farm). Soft is so vague. What does that even mean? There is no Websters for that. What I do knowby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotejemach we need to run a clip of 65+% the rest of the year. I think we will need to be around 70% this week...unless the defense comes out of hiding. But, since I think we have personnel issues, I don't plan on that happening. But...we are good enough to get that RZ number up. We have most of the talent we need...except for one position.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSpeed_Kills I don't understand why people aren't making the connection with these red zone issues Thanks Speed... The crazy thing about it is, we're #3 in PPG without being on this list. Imagine how many points per game we would score if we simply improved into the top 10? I really believe our offense is capable of leading the league in PPG and possibly by a comfortable margin. Thisby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemoklerman This continues to be a misleading stat for many of the teams on it. When many of them only get to the red zone a couple of times per game, it's easier to have a higher percentage. To me, it's like batting average. You can't compare a guy who's batting .400 (2 hits in 5 at bats) to a guy who's hitting .300 (150 out of 500).

I disagree on a few of his assessments. Suh is still a 7 IMO. He may be less effective as a NT but he seems to be handling double teams well which I believe is a reason that Donald's numbers are dramatically up. Brockers is none factor this year. I'd barely give him a 5 but he's definitely not a 6, this year. I'm wondering if they would be better served with moving him back to the nose fuby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteidaram OK, I really hope I'm wrong but, let's see how they do without him. His loss is HUGE. I agree his loss is huge. But it's not crippling blow huge. We've already seen how they can do without him. They survived. Reynolds will once again have to step up.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Kupp is ver important to the team but I wouldn't say he's close to 4th most important. I think both Woods and Cooks are more important and that's just at the WR position. Woods is probably their most efficient WR right now and they don't have a guy to replace Cooks' skillset and role in the offense. I'd argue that the following players are more important: Whit, Saffold, Cooks, Woodby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
I agree with the outcome for most of these. I do think the cowboys may beat the eagles. Oh and also add about 10 points to some of the scores.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRamsFanSinceLA IMO on that pick you just gotta give the defensive guy his due. He made a great play reaching back for the ball. At most one would think he'd just bat the ball away, considering his position relative to the ball. But you're right; it didn't help. Yeah you give the defensive guy his due but that doesn't absolve the QB of his part in the play. That play was huge and shoulby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRams43 QuoteSpeed_Kills one of the things that shocked me the other day was the thread saying Suh has been a waste you guys actually think Donald had 10 sacks in 8 games after having 11 in 16 all last year because he just got that much better lol!!!

QuoteAlbaNY_Ram I think Wade's defense is supposed to put immediate pressure on the QB and force the ball out quickly. Having the CBS playing press coverage dovetails nicely in that scheme. I'm not sure having Peters playing 10 yards off his guy is a good plan if the idea is to force a quick pass. Peters' guy will always be the hot read (although perhaps this would prevent another 72 yard TD).by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
A lot of the talking heads, former players, and the various metrics like FO have honed in that the issue with Peters is we're asking him to play press coverage when he excels at off coverage. It's probably time to give up on making him a press corner. Can Wade adjust his scheme to allow him to play off coverage? Or is that too hard of an ask?by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRampage2K- This guy just didn't forget how to play corner, he might be playing the wrong style....Wade trying to fit a square peg into a round hole type thing.

QuoteRockRam Saints/Rams game highlights that the most important aspect for modern D's is not run stuffing; it is defending the pass. Pass rushers and great cover secondary players are critical.

QuoteLMU93 Suh and Joyner are UFA after this year and I don't think the Rams have been planning to extend either one. I will say I think Suh has been good overall this year.

QuoteSuh-weet! Teams are scoring 24 pts/game on average now, up a couple points from last year. But really? 42 points with no "give backs" is what it'd take for you to be satisfied?
