Why did we not try to run the ball?by ramBRO - Game Time Forum
QuoteRams43 Quotepromomasterj It's the age old story - you start with a conclusion - 'the rams D is too soft', or 'it seems like they never get off the field on 3rd down', or 'morris doesn't make adjustments' or whatever. Then when facts and evidence is presented to the contrary you completely discount it or say it's not important or doesn't match up to what your 'eyes saw'. Of course with humaby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRamsdude QuoteNewMexicoRam ....with the knowledge that the Rams O probably isn't going to be able to run out the clock at the end of games, with a lead, wouldn't it be worthwhile to at least attempt to confuse the opponents offense by mixing up coverages, and at least try to slow them down and burn more time? I'm not a defensive strategist by any means, but mixing things up does seem to bby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRams43 QuoteRam_Ruler If I remember the correctly the Rams defense stats before weddle and miller were still better than Staley's. There is a helluva lot more to evaluation of an overall D than just stats, RR. Don't think that I could agree more 43. I'm sure that, in addition to stats, professional coaching staffs consider several other items when determining who to play...and hby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRamsdude QuoteRams43 Morris seems like a nice fellow, but I won’t miss him if he’s gone, one way or another. Maybe he'll get a HC job somewhere. Perhaps for a different reason, I have the same reaction.by ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
(LOL!) There you go again Youngblood...with those stubborn facts. Speaking of facts... The fact of the matter is...if the offense was halfway doing its job (again...halfway), folks wouldn't even be talking about the defense.

Quoteroman18 <snipped> it was a vicious hit by Yeast for sure, but at the same time I saw nothing illegal about it....the rule book has become simply a book that can be interpreted to what a person thinks it means, it's not a structural set of rules...it sucks.... Upon further reflection, I'm thinking that the play was flagged because: A) not only was the ball not secured; B ) theby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
I thought that that was a critical play today when Yeast laid out the Seahawk RB. Wasn't that on 3rd down? Anyways, though it was a brutal hit for sure, replays showed that Yeast didn't lead with the crown of his helmet. I mean...if dude had caught the ball, would he have still been considered "defenseless? " I just get the feeling that defenders can no longer pop anyone unlessby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
It looks as though Purdy went 25 - 37 for 210 yards...a TD and an INT. If you didn't tell me, that sounds like Jimmy G #'s to me. They've already made a move to acquire Josh Johnson from the Broncos who is already familiar with Shanny's system. I really don't see them missing a beat as long as their defense keeps a lid on things.by ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRustyRay He can play and its obvious he should have been on the field from game one getting touches. He is lightning fast and could be a real playmaker when used properly. Play him McVay....your doghouse should have its doors shuttered and be condemned. No doubt...dude can play. But do you really think that Stafford would've passed him the ball?

Quotewaterfield Improve the secondary and the O line. Shouldn't be all that troublesome. And yes we already have plenty of skill players. I'd add an EDGE player to that list waterfield. If I'm not mistaken, I think that Bobby Wagner is leading the team in sacks. I don't believe that's a good thing.by ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com

Quote21Dog QuoteNewMexicoRam Niners aren't out of it with a backup. Their entire team is built well. Easier for a #3 QB with a healthy O line and McCaffrey, Samuel, Kittle and Aiyuk as weapons. Yep. I think that Shanny gets the most out of his QB unit of any HC in the league. There won't be much of a drop-off.by ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRam_Ruler Yeah I agree. It's frustrating as heck to see them get walked down the field when they have a lead. *sigh*. I'll be okay with that. Despite me being okay with their overall philosophy. It really is frustrating. I saw a lot of wrinkles in the defense today, including on the last defensive stand. They sent Wagner and Jones on multiple blitzes that just never really got home.

The only thing that I feel good about is that it APPEARS as though no one got seriously hurt and the team can continue its player evaluation.by ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRam_Ruler If the offense was good enough today while only scoring 23 then we cannot blame the defense for losing a game where they only gave up 16 or 17. Let's have a little consistency here. I'm sorry, but this is a very similar situation to the Tampa game (except without AD). What I mean by that is...

Quote21Dog QuoteSoCalRAMatic Needed AD today. Had four sacks and pretty decent pressure on Smith most of the day. I was pleasantly surprised by the play up front without AD. Two of those sacks came courtesy of Wagner (who played a great game). Several other LB blitzes all day didn't get home. We needed pressure by the front 4 and we didn't get it when needed.

Quote3030 You do have a point that when the team wants a guy, they will make it happen. Look at how far we were willing to go for McCaffrey or Burns. It wouldn't shock me at all if they went after Laremy Tunsil. Texans have less cap room than we do! Some picks this year and next plus Jefferson and Akers. Who knows?

QuoteRams43 QuoteSoCalRAMatic Liked the way you broke it down. I think the front office also really likes Bruss and used a fairly high pick for him and he was chosen to specifically play RG.

They're not going to want to re-sign him and I heard that they tried to shop him at this year's trade deadline. I think that the Texans will look to move him at the draft.
