Re: Let's Not Add Injury To This Insult - 5 weeks ago
Quotesfbayram <snipped> I am pretty much with you, but they have see what happens first drive first. It's my observation that: A) McVay-led teams have rarely proven to make positive 2nd-half adjustments; and, B ) true to form, we've only played well in the 2nd half once (Seattle) this year. This opening 2nd half drive isn't worth it IMO. This battle has been lost since Stafford'by ramBRO - Game Time Forum
Re: Let's Not Add Injury To This Insult - 5 weeks ago
QuoteThe_Zone I would sit Nacua as well. He's been getting up slowly since the big hit to the head that ended up not being a penalty. The game is out of reach, no sense putting these guys at risk for nothing. Yes, I could see this as well. I guess I was looking at him getting in as many reps against an elite D as possible.by ramBRO - Game Time Forum
Re: Let's Not Add Injury To This Insult - 5 weeks ago
In particular, I'd like to see more: Tutu; McClendon (is he even active today); the new TE (is he even active today); any DB who hasn't played much; and any DL/OLB/Edge who hasn't played much.by ramBRO - Game Time Forum
Let's Not Add Injury To This Insult - 5 weeks ago
McVay needs to sit AD, Kupp, and Stafford (and maybe Higbee) for the 2nd half. Have to remember the whole purpose of this year: To evaluate our youth to determine who can serve as solid depth, if not fringe starter.by ramBRO - Game Time Forum
Re: Not true - 5 weeks ago
Quotesfbayram He had a defensive coordinator that bailed him out. Phillips and Kromer made McVay. McVay is an imposter head coach. I'd argue that Morris and the defense saved his bacon in the 2021 NFCCG and Super Bowl as well.by ramBRO - Game Time Forum
Re: It seems like McVay needs an ALL-STAR team to be play-off competitive - 5 weeks ago
Well, suffice to say, I'd argue that every team that makes it to the Super Bowl has All Stars (or at least players playing at the level) on them. With that said, though, your point is well taken - especially on the offensive side of the ball. And narrowing the focus even further...for an offense that likes to pass, it's quite pedestrian without an All Star at RB.by ramBRO - Game Time Forum

Re: a 4th? Absolutely. - 5 weeks ago
Quotealyoshamucci I'd likely do it for a 3rd. His pressures this year are up ... I suspect that might have to do with his knee rounding back into shape.

Would Anyone Trade A 4th To Washington... - 5 weeks ago
to acquire Chase Young? Get him in the building for a half-season to see what he's about. If he can make it through the end of the season (somewhat) healthy and has his head on straight, re-sign him to a one-year "prove-it" deal in 2024. If not...oh well, we lost a 4th on a reclamation project. And yes...a 4th. I'm not sure he's played enough in his career to warrant more.by ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotemtramfan Agreed. I'm a little sick, tired, and moreso than somewhat annoyed with the anti-Stafford gaslighting going on here. I don't think that I'm being anti-Stafford just because I like to gaze over the horizon a bit. While I think that Stafford is playing good (not great, but "good") football for us, I can't help but to look at what's going on with Russell Wilson andby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: exactly, he's not struggling, just getting older - 6 weeks ago
Quotealyoshamucci I think his odds of playing next year are 90+% 2025 is 40-50%. I think this year we're a bubble team, next year we can make a run. Won't be a popular opinion, but... If I can get similar compensation that Green Bay got for Rodgers, I'd trade Stafford in a heartbeat. What I'm seeing coming out of Denver with Russell Wilson really has me spooked.

Re: Rams don’t just have a kicking problem, they have a game management problem - 6 weeks ago
From the article: QuoteWhat's confusing here is that the Rams aren’t bad on fourth down. In fact, over the past two seasons, they’ve been really good in fourth down situations. Looking back at Week 4 against the Indianapolis Colts for example, they had 4th-and-3 from the Colts 32-yard line. Stafford hit Cooper Kupp for a first down and the offense finished the drive with a touchdown to go up 1by ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Outstanding point. - 6 weeks ago
QuoteRamgator I do think we can do better though. Not saying we need a Mahomes on the Bench but someone who can at least play half way decent. Though history suggests that McVay likes the "Rudy" type for backup QB, I think that this year is a little different in that both he and the organization view the current 2023 campaign as a glorified throwaway season that is primarily gearedby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
Question For You - 6 weeks ago
For the 2021 NFL season, the Rams went "all-in" for a Super Bowl season by trading away significant draft capital and cap space to acquire the likes of Matthew Stafford and Von Miller. They also took on significant locker room risk by acquiring O'Dell Beckham, Jr. All the while, their "insurance plan" for all of this was back-up QB, John Wolford.

Re: jet sweeps? - 6 weeks ago
Quote21Dog Have they run one since Atwell's near TD against the Bengals? I don't think that Stafford likes it. Over the last 3 weeks, I've noticed a reduction in the amount of motion. That's also seemed to coincide with a reduction in Stafford going under center and more of the empty backfield sets. I think that these are Stafford's preferences and McVay acquiesces.by ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotealyoshamucci <snipped> Questions and comments welcome. I feel like I missed a bit. The Good 1) Finally got to see an adjustment to Morris' blitz package (i.e. sending DB's in lieu of LB's) that resulted in us getting home in the 1st half. 2) Very nice spin out of pressure from Stafford on his TD to Atwell.

QuoteRampage2K- Quotesfbayram Hendo lost steam late in the game. I wish Evans would get a chance to show What he can do. The problem is McVay's schemes rarely put the running backs in open field where he would shine. The whole thing with Evans is just weird… maybe he fumbles too much in practice and McVay just doesn’t trust him or he just isn’t in his playbook as much as he should be?

Re: ^^^ THIS!^^^ - 6 weeks ago
QuoteClassicalwit My expectations are that a professional defensive back know how to drive through an offensive target while wrapping his arms around said target. Another good thing would be the ability to turn and look for the ball the way that a receiver does. A defensive back who can't or won't do that usually lacks the confidence to run with a WR while looking back at the offense. Fairby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: ^^^ THIS!^^^ - 6 weeks ago
QuoteClassicalwit Is something wrong with the coaching? Hard to say, but for years the Rams have played more of a grab and drag, trail and flail style in the defensive back 7. When I watch the games now, I can easily see how bad the defensive backs are simply from the standpoint of technique alone. So, what are your expectations from a group of mid to late-round DB's?

QuoteBigGame81 Considering the Steelers pass rush, they only had 2 sacks as a team. While it's true that the Steelers may have only recorded two sacks, they were definitely able to apply pressure and flush him out of the pocket multiple times. This isn't a good thing for an offense that relies upon timing. I can def understand the pressure coming from Watt, but Jackson was getting worked oby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
