Quotezn QuoteLMU93 If the Rams can score 26 this Sunday they'll improve their PPG to 18.0. And they'll actually probably be outside the bottom 6 in scoring... 26 is a good number to shoot for in this game. Two TDs, 4 FGs. Take the last 2 games and offensive points only. THat's 39 points total and 19.5 per game. Which is still not great but then it would rank 23rd. Not last. Well, zn... Ifby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteGreatRamNTheSky I think Fisher and the Rams understand what a huge game this is. I fully expect the Rams best effort on Sunday. This is the same game they won in AZ just last year with Foles at QB. They are a thousand times better at QB in this game with Keenum then they were with Foles.

By Vincent Bonsignore, Los Angeles Daily News If you watch sports long enough you realize pretty quickly one trait separates the good teams from the bad: The ability to make the big play when the big play absolutely needs to be made. And in a finite league like the NFL, where parity runs rampant and the fine line between winning and losing is as thin as ever, it’s not unusual for aby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteleafnose the Cardinals run some unique defensive sets. some 4-3 some 3-4 ? Trumaine has played well against Fitz before. Pressure on their QB remains key. No one is going to win on coverage if Carson gets to sit back there. nothing much has changed for me; the offense has to get their work done. remaining "MIA" is the run blocking one would expect to see from the Rams.

Quote21Dog Doesn't look like anyone has signed him after the Rams released him. Point taken, Dog. It would appear that I have overrated him and that my bias is showing. Apparently, the Rams snatched another S waived by the Cards today. First name of Christian, ironically.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRockRam It feels sometimes like we're playing D with 10 guys. The FS is nowhere to be found. I don't know if it by design, or if we just don't have good FS. If not, that and WR have to be our offseason priorities. Yeah, Rock. Davis has such good measurables. But where are the instincts? The anticipation? I'm still surprised that they kept Davis over Christian Bryant, TBH.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteJamesJM It was Mannion that threw him all those passes. I would be flabbergasted if Keenum did the same. - JamesJM I'm sensing that Keenum's days as a starter are numbered, James. And Goff will find and target a sure handed open receiver, I have no doubt.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Excellent review, Alyo. As usual. Yeah, Britt actually is on track for a thousand yard season. I was surprised to read that, so I looked it up. No TD's, though. And that was a killer fumble that he had. I doubt that previous Ram teams could have survived that and/or Keenum's pick six. But there's just something about this team...

Quotemerlin I think that's the only way we are going to win this game. Their defense vs our offense in their house is in their favor no matter how you slice it. Our strength is Gurley, who hasn't really gotten the seams he needs yet, so while I do think we can run the ball on AZ it won't be early on. Rams will need to weather that storm at the start defensively. Then hope the offense starby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLMU93 Not only the heat and humidity, but that they played with 6 DL vs. 8 for a big chunk of the game. And I think that fumble/TD by Westbrooks- as much as it helped them win the game- also had an affect as it put the defense right back out there again. They have eight players on defense that played 73 or more defensive snaps. Six that played 85+. In fact, a concern I have is them havinby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
I think that it is perfectly possible to enjoy the fandom and the wins while still engaging in constructive criticism. Constructive criticism does not make one even a tiny bit less of a Ram fan.

Quotebrownsugar We need 23+ points, how are we doing that? Not that complicated, sugar. Sound fundamentals with good execution on O could get us your 23 points, and a whole lot more.

QuoteLMU93 It's coming. You saw glimpses vs. Tampa. His YPC would have been higher had he not fallen at the one on that 16-yard run. As the OL continues developing he'll find more room. Arizona is in the bottom 6 in both rushing yards and YPC allowed. Todd's breakout game last year was week 4 @ARZ. Maybe history can repeat. Rams need more involvement from the TEs in the passing game. Yuby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Geez. Why are we even arguing here, zn? This thread topic was about Todd Gurley and whether he was ready to breakout. In my first post I referenced about 5-6 things that would help him in that regard. One of which was that Keenum needed to more threaten deep and that he hadn't until that 3rd game. Coincidentally, that happened to be Gurley's best game, btw. Just sayin'. Instead of absorbby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Gaines might be a bit rusty. I hate to say it, but he probably will be. But Troy Hill has been a pleasant surprise. So there is that. And Palmer doesn't quite look the same as last year. So it's not as if things are hopeless for us.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

I've gotta say that #5 and #6 resonate with me, 49. The rest? Not so much. 5) I saw that "vacant" stare of Goff's, too. And it bothered me. I mean, it bothered the HECK out of me. I wanted to shake him when I saw that. Handed this golden opportunity and to look bored there? Gawd! 6) Yeah, Wentz, Prescott, and Brissett are making Goff look bad. Could largely be coaching.

Todd Gurley is not among the top 5 problems on this O. The OL is busy "regelling" after being reset on the fly from the preseason unit.

Thanks for sharing that, md. A classic example of blind homerism and disrespecting an opponent, huh? The author forgot that the Rams were 4-2 in the division last year?

You say that you refuse to dwell in the past, Grits. Then you go on and on about the terrible roster that Fisher inherited in '12. That was FIVE years ago!
