Here’s AvengerRam... DO THESE STATS MATTER? (GUESS WE'LL FIND OUT SUNDAY) I was looking at the Chargers' lineup and stats thus far, and its clear that their biggest outside threat is Keenan Allen. As we are now starting two former AFC West players at CB, I looked at Allen's numbers against the Broncos (Talib) and Chiefs (Peters) last year. Here's what I found: Keenan Allen vs KC/DENby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Rams must know where star rookie Derwin James is at all times Sunday Cameron DaSilva When the Los Angeles Rams trot their offense onto the field Sunday, there will be one notable player missing from the Chargers’ defensive line: Joey Bosa. Big No. 99 won’t be out there as he recovers from a foot injury, but that’s not to say the Chargers don’t have playmakers on that side of the ball.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Rams vs. Chargers: 4 key matchups to watch in Week 3 Cameron DaSilva The Los Angeles Rams and Chargers will square off on Sunday in the first “Fight for L.A.” regular season matchup.

However, this is the Chargers’ first chance to set the record straight and prove they’re the betteby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLMU93 I think the work he got with the starters once a week all last year (in place of Sullivan) made a big difference for Blythe. Yeah, that Wednesday “veteran’s day rest” every week really helped Blythe. Gonna help Boom and Brian Allen this year, too. Kromer is worth his weight in gold, IMO.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Los Angeles Rams’ offensive line graded third-highest in NFL through two games by Pro Football Focus Sep 20, 2018 Through two games, the Los Angeles Rams’ offensive line has played spectacularly. LT Andrew Whitworth, LG Rodger Saffold, C John Sullivan, RG Austin Blythe and RT Rob Havenstein have made the offensive outputs possible in both the run and passing games.

QuoteRampage2K- The pass defense vs WR's has been insane. The production from the wide outs has been lifted with Cooks Suh is doing the dirty work. All of them have been huge contributors to the domination Well, that’s what makes the poll so interesting, don’t you think?by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemax Sullivan doesn't have much time left. He's probably gone next year. Looks like our Center will be either Blythe or Allen. We are gonna need to figure out the Guard situation with both Stafford and Brown due for new contracts. I don't see us keeping both. My bet is that we draft a OG pretty high next year. Yeah, the Rams can go in so many different directions on their interior OL, maby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
I love ‘em all, of course, but I’m gonna go with Brandin Cooks. He’s blown the doors off of my already high expectations. Best 1st round pick spent since Aaron Donald, himself. Not an easy choice since Suh gives us possibly the best DL in the league, and Talib/Peters give us possibly the best CB tandem in the league. An embarrassment of riches, no doubt.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

All agree that Austin Blythe should start for the Rams, even the lineman he replaced Rich Hammond THOUSAND OAKS – Austin Blythe solidified his status as a super sub, and it seems he can be more. The Rams have a delightful problem. Jamon Brown, an effective starter at right guard last season, has returned from a two-game suspension, but Blythe did a stellar job as his replacement.

I haven’t noticed Kupp having to motion to our current WR’s where to line up, etc. Lol.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
But after watching our secondary vs Raiders and Cards, I don’t think they’ve even been stressed yet. I mean, these guys are smothering receivers. It’s like Talib and Peters are toying with their assigned receivers. I think Rivers, as good as he can be, will be seriously challenged to get much out of his passing game. And the slightest mistake vs our CB’s can become an int, if not a pick-6.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemax Yeah, I don't usually soft soap things. I have that strip sack for a TD that lost the Eagles game embedded in my mind. That was a total mental lapse by Brown in a critical situation.

Quotemax Kurt Warner wasn’t clutch either. Only 7 comeback wins in his entire career. He stunk in the clutch.

The Ram WR’s were magnificent in catching away from the body throws. We are being spoiled, y’all. I admire McVay for not going into a shell even with a big lead late in the game. Can’t praise our OL enough. All game long they were imposing their will and by the mid 3rd quarter on the Card D was exhausted. Honestly, how do you take away the starting position from Blythe?

If they can teach Hodge how to run routes anywhere near as well as Cooks, Woods, or Kupp? Then we’re onto something. And Reynolds, Cooper, and Thomas might be fighting for the 5th and 6th WR spots when they get healthy.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Just to be clear, losing Whit and Saffold is not MY plan. I just put it out there in case Suh just blows it up this year. And makes our D overwhelmingly dominant. So far, he has not done that, but he might yet be capable of that as this DL gels. As such, he would justify unusual moves to accommodate his salary demands.
