I LOVE these!by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Didn't ED also play a key role in getting Marshall here (well, St. Louis) too? Quoteoldschoolramfan Thanks again to ED for calling out Fisher and his staff. Going public and saying that the Rams Staff were not NFL caliber coaches. Gurley saying it was a Jr. High offense. Thus, bringing the problem forefront and making sure the Rams could not hide the truth anymore.....This organizationby RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
But doesn't that kind of describe the script for a few of our wins as well? Seahawks and Broncos come to mind. I do think THIS is the week we put it all together. And when we do that I'm not sure there is a team that can beat us...period. QuoteSaguaro consider two things. One, the Saints are on a hot streak that has to end sooner or later, too. Two, regarding the Saints at Minnyby RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Um, wouldn't it make more sense to pull up a seat and THEN sit down? :) Actually, I have found that I can't sit down during Rams games anymore - I have to pace around the room nervously.by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I love how Gurley has turned into an MVP candidate back and he has definitely taken this team on his shoulders when he is most needed...but take it easy with the "best Rams back of all time" language. He still has a long way to go before he's even mentioned alongside Faulk, Dickerson, or Jackson.by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I wonder if we got 3 points for our "home field advantage" against GB.by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Thanks! Makes sense. QuoteRamsFanSinceLA Somebody can correct me if I'm wrong, but... In a 4-3 the guys on the edge are considered DEs and mostly rush the passer but also can drop into coverage if that is the defensive call. In a 3-4 the 2 guys on the edge are considered OLBs and can rush or cover. With the 3-4 the offense doesn't know ahead of time which OLB will be rushing, or if neiby RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
OK, OK I know this is a remedial question for a lot of you, but I'm a little slow, and with the recent signing of what many were saying was our greatest need, the question I have is: What exactly is an edge rusher? Is it simply a DE that also drops into a linebacker role during certain situations/formations? I always thought Quinn was a DE - someone who played on the D-Line and rushed theby RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
But you have to come to Tucson to get it :laughingby RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Yep - bank on it. I think THIS is the game where we come out and finally have that fast start that we've been missing the past few weeks. Re-focused both offensively and defensively...Sean throws a bunch of packages at the Saints D they aren't expecting, and Wade shuffles a few things in the secondary that gives Donald/Suh/Brockers a second or two of additional time to wreak havoc on theirby RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I guess it means I don't care about betting spreads! Honestly your initial post did come off as somewhat negative, but I can see where you are coming from strictly from a numbers perspective.by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Completely agree - let's enjoy this and focus on what makes this team so special. QuoteRampage2K- QuoteSpeed_Kills I'm honestly not sure why the Rams are favored over the Saints in New Orleans Can they beat the Saints sure... but just based on betting lines and how they work, the Saints should be favored by at least 3 I don't know why you're so down on the Rams lately???

I was thinking it was to try to draw them offside. If not, you eat the delay of game call and punt it away.by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Great question - maybe the coaches feel there is more ball security with Countess. Packers proved the point I've been trying to make all year though...just take a knee and get the ball at the 25. Not worth the risks in bringing it out.by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Me either...Tucson is a wasteland for Rams football - always stuck with Cards or no game at all.by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Apparently the mindset is that since 2-point conversions are about 50% successful, you put your self in a better position to win the game than to merely tie it with extra point kicks. I guess that kind of makes sense.by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Apples and oranges considering their positions/roles, but either way they were both fantastic. Quotejemach Littleton isn't even 1a. At best...a distant 2. Add the 5 QB hits, 9 tackles, 6 of those for losses. Littleton played great but his sacks are a function of pressure by others....like Donald.by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Well their ranking won't make much of a difference if Rodgers find Jimmy Graham for big gashes up the middle all game (see Jared Cook, Week 1) I hope we can at least partially shut that down. I like our chances if our O keeps pumping though...by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I think your defensive player of the game might still be Cory Littleton - led the team in tackles, gets 2 sacks of his own from the secondary, and oh yeah - there was that devastating punt block on special teams. Love this guy!!!by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Good take, but as a counter-point, do you think we walk out onto the field in Santa Clara on Sunday exactly like we will when we walk out onto the field against the Chiefs in a couple of weeks? I think psychologically there are some little things that can affect performance against a team you are supposed to beat - and those are the things that can bite you.by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Eh, clover shaped horns aren't that intimidating.by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I was thinking the very same thing last night. I don't feel as bad about not hitting 30+ and blowing them out of their building - that's a pretty good team finding their stride.by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Who is Nick Smith?by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I think last week was the one more week. You don't cut your insurance policy unless everyone on the coaching staff is in agreement that he's 100% THIS week.by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Franklin-Myers strip of Cousins was one hell of a contribution.by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Interesting concept. Obviously Wade is the expert here, but to me, considering the state of our D, it might make sense to lean on the blitz more. It could nullify the lack of an outside pass rush and put just enough additional pressure on a QB setting up for a long pass - some thing that has killed us the last 2 weeks. With Donald and Suh getting bottled up (held) some (most) plays, this coulby RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Forecast is 77 degrees and sunny - a little more our style!by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRam_Ruler I would bet that teams are going to start giving is what we want between the 20's and stiffening up at the red zone though. Not as bad of a prospect with our Pro-Bowl kicker back. But yeah, TD's would be betterby RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
True, but it was not a poorly executed pass. It could very well have been a catch and a first down (I think) perhaps leading to a long clock draining drive. Yes, I would have called a run in that spot too, but the end result of Denver having the ball deep in our territory was primarily a result of crappy luck.by RinconRam - RamsFootballFans.com
