Okay, you're crazy. My kind of crazy. And my insanity is likely to increase until I get back from my new grandchild's gender reveal at 2pm. (When did that become a thing?) Lock me in the asylum. I KNOW this team CAN win. It will take more time to believe they WILL after blowing the last game. Hold a sec, need to pop some lithium til I get there.

Quoteroman18 IMO he's adequate, in most instances you can win with him. IMO there are a few other things that could be done that would lessen his issues at times. As Speed says, I too think that he and Shelton can be upgraded next season. All that said I think we finally have a line that for the most part can actually dictate things, if coach is willing to go that route. There is no questionby Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotemtramfan Anybody notice the offensive playcalling, all game long, on the Vikings side? Oh no you didn't!! Irony won't be appreciated here. It doesn't support the over-simplification that abandoning the run is McVay's problem. But to their point, Cousins and that line were both amazing and lucky as he wasn't sacked. They also used mostly zone blocking which stopped being a Rams staple bby Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com

You're not wrong, but they are still the best. Most analysts bug the crap out of me. These guys are detailed, observant, relevant, and well spoken. They are a fun listen. With that said, F the Whiners. Looks like they may lose this game and maybe some here will see the Rams issues with better perspective and clarity.by Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com
This is a douchie article written by someone who knows far less about how NFL offenses operate than one should when acting like an analyst. Beyond ignorant. Matthew Stafford is keeping this offense together and makes incredible passes every single game. Kupp just dropped as many passes in one series as he did all last year. He also was on a different page than Matthew more times in these lastby Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com
Those who understand this offense know that Stafford is anticipating windows and on the interception, he was flushed and his vision was blocked to see the linebacker streaking into the zone. It doesn't necessarily excuse him, but hopefully it demonstrates how some of these INT's are inevitable. I'm more concerned with the lack of connection between Kupp and Stafford, particularly on option rouby Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com
My childhood with my Dad centered on sports. When my mother remarried and moved us from Long Beach to Joplin, MO in 1974, the Rams are what I kept with me. Unfortunately, back then I was limited to seeing a handful of games. By that part of the game, I was still dreaming of finally making it after a dozen years of seemingly having a good enough team to win the West, but not the postseason (like tby Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com
Somehow your intent was lost in translation. You're asking which is the better asset and Alyo answered based on value, no he wouldn't trade the cheaper, more controllable player with similar if not better production. But stats don't tell the whole story. For example, playing next to AD inflates the production of the other players who learn from him, are daily motivated by him, and are regularly sby Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com
Okay, I will play. I was concerned our special teams would become a dumpster fire. I'm actually very pleased with their overall performance and hope it continues. The defensive adjustments have worked so far but are mostly band aids until the kids develop. The conservative approach has been the correct one and Morris has employed pressure strategically enough to avoid arial explosives. Runnby Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com

The weird thing about it is that he really turns on the jets when he's about to get contact, as if he were Ronnie Lott on a run blitz. But when he's running away from contact, he just casually increases his speed just enough to stay comfortably out of reach.by Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com
Many here should know I'm not one who is much for hyperbole or cheerleading. I occasionally offer a contrarian viewpoint if I believe the truth is being distorted more than I care to allow. With that said... I readily admit I never scouted Evans. I seriously doubted he would crack the game day lineup this year unless it was on special teams. I carelessly dismiss offseason hype of any rookie unby Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com
Avila and Dotson should become long term staples for this line. Havs still has a few years left and Shelton and Jackson are developing nicely...though most hope for upgrades there. But internal development of linemen is a focus for this team so maybe they will stay the course. In any event, Avila is the best guard the Rams have drafted this century.by Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRamsdude QuoteRams43 Sounds like KW is gonna be alright and there’s Evans and Freeman to spell him as needed. Do you feel confident with Evans and Freeman protecting Stafford when he drops back to pass 47 times a game if those two are our starting RB's? I don't. McVay already bails on the run game as soon as it gets stopped and that's with our best RB's on the field. I think he mightby Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com

Question: who's doing the talking? One would assume he meant that their opponent aligned in a manner that was unfavorable for the runs he called. I'd like to be shown exactly what alignments he meant if that was the case. I'm speculating now. Did Stafford check out of runs? Were assistants recommending coverage holes? The point is, he was being obtuse for a reason. He didn't say "Iby Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com
Morris is completely aware of Hoecht's limitations. You guys do realize a fire zone is a pressure gamble that sacrifices coverage for disruption seeking a sack, right? It frequently puts some lineman in a short zone drop because they expect to get home with 5 by tricking the OL in focusing on the lineman instead of the blitzer. If the coverage is blown in the deeper zone, uninformed fans will thiby Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com

I disagree with the label "failure" and believe Sean would too. Puka's rise and Atwell's development are both exceptional in different ways but both benefit the Rams and how they have constructed the roster.

QuoteDeadpool obviously meant shutdown. like what mcvay does to his running game. Which brings up another point. If mcvay was serious about his running game, and serious enough to add some man/power blocking schemes for said running game, why not do more 12 personnel and really make the effort to run.

Yes, there must be an improved focus on running the ball. He said several times he needed to look inwardly first, but he was emphatic they had the plan and players to win. I would say Philly has superior talent overall, but McVay genuinely doesn't see that as relevant. I really appreciate this stage of his career in coaching. He's close to a rare level. I believe that will become more apparent asby Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com
Sean uncharacteristically brought up Puka's drop three times and said he was "pissed" about the missed block when Havs went out. He was clear that he felt this team had the ability to win the game but there are things they do well and just didn't in spots. In 17, the success was unexpected and refreshing so Sean was generally positive after a loss. Come 19, his intensity increased anby Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com

Philly's OLine is one of the best I've ever seen...and I'm 59. The Rams have had some legendary lines and the Eagles have that kind of talent. Yes, AD needed more help.
