Would be interesting to see how he would describe the Seahawk's offensive tactics. To me, it was like they had 2 offensive coordinators. 1 who called the first quarter and another that called the rest of the game. 1st quarter was more like McVay style offense. Creating mismatches and playing with the LBs eyes with all the motion and formation changes at snap. After that though, it was justby h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com
He ran the routes "correctly". It's just rookie recognition as my guess is that most of these routes are option routes depending on the defense they are going up against. Why this works against Seattle is that they really run like 3 coverages and they didn't disguise well. So the QB and WRs should already be on the same wavelength on the option routes. I do remember that playby h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com
I guess there are trust levels. Mahomes has full trust. 4th and 25.. get it done. Remember they had a few 4th and 2 around midfield and they punted. Your one instance vs multiple instances... No way can you say they are letting Goff loose. You trust a QB, you let em loose. It's still a conservative offense, which works fine for the Lions. Here's an easier way to think about thby h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com
And anyone who think Holmes has unlocked Goff.. that's a big stretch right now. They are still conservative with Goff. Andy Reid to Mahomes... it's 4th and 25.. ball is in your hands. Dan Campbell to Goff... it's 3rd and 2, critical juncture... hand the ball off. They aren't letting Goff loose at all... no trust that he can make the play. 3rd and 6 on a critical down... let's do aby h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com
Good production in the first game for the Detroit Rookies. Gibbs and LaPorta played well Branch with a Pick 6 Campbell decent All 1st and 2nd round picks...can miss big time with these picks, but so far, they seem to be good pickups for Detroit.by h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com
Should be easier since Utah's QB: Cam Rising is not scheduled to play due to recovery from an ACL injury. And even if he does play... 1st game after an ACL injury isn't a walk in the park. Will take a few games for the speed of everything to return. 1st games of the year though are still more unpredictable unless you are like Georgia last year that returned lots of major key players.

Well, he's got a few seasons to not worry about kicking in the playoffs.by h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com
Maybe their Offensive Line talent evaluation isn't that good. Which then causes them to not draft more O-Linemen thinking that what they have will develop. 2022 Round 3: Bruss 2022 Round 7: Arcuri 2021 zero 2020 Round 7: Anchrum 2019 Round 3: Evans 2019 Round 5: Edwards 2018 Round 3: Noteboom 2018 Round 4: Allen 2018 Round 6: Demby 2017 zero 2016 zero 2015 Roundby h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah, you can tell by his first step what his role was. What could look frustrating when they see Miller play straight up is also compounded when the LBs weren't filling when it was a run play and Miller was setting the edge. I think it would have looked better and people may understand what the defense was trying to accomplish if Wagner was on that team.by h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com
I meant his first day... using your subject line that his first day must be tough. I'm just saying that what you project as a fan vs how an athlete projects is different. There are folks that will charge in the front lines against 100 machine gun turrets thinking they can make it. And then there are most fans that will look at that and say.. yeah, not me. Or maybe a simpler analogy is aby h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com
Practice probably was tough.. but a successful athlete will always remain and project optimistic and confidence. That's the difference between an athlete and a fan. A fan will pick apart the optimism/confidence. People can believe him or be skeptical, but it is way much better for an athlete to project confidence.by h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com
I'll take his comments over something like this: " This 1st day was tough. I have no idea what I'm doing. NFL is hard. Not sure I can hang."by h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah, well that's what the tape and personal interaction is for. PFF in college is less important in my opinion because the talent/schools are wide ranging. So who you play against is much more impactful to the numbers. Could be worse.. get a small school player that has miserable PFF scores.

Yeah, I can't argue that this is a good value pick... but yeah, I'm into bigger corners too. I've watched alot of Clark Phillips and I love the guy as a college player.... but I do see him get pushed off in the route. It's interesting, because at the line, he's actually okay at holding his press, but in the route, he gets shoved off more easily.

Bobo didn't test well in the 40. So I'd think he'd be 7th round or UFA.by h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com
Don't understand the logic here. Undersized CB. If they were going to go this route, then should have traded up to get Clark Phillips.by h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com

Quote3030 And sometimes you set you sights on Bobby Wagner and come home with Isaiah Pead. Had to chuckle and cry at the same time for this masterpiece of a one liner. Can look at this question a few ways. How good is a Rams draft as a whole? There has been 1st round busts and 1st round wins. Is a 1st round bust equivalent to drafting poorly by trading down a 2nd rounder for many picks?by h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com
How about trade out of 2023 and more for 2024? Potentially better class and then maybe better draft position across all picks if 2023 record is bad.by h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com
At this point... for 2023, they should do a reality show in search of a Rams Kicker. Have 10 people start the year. 2 people are moles.. like 49ers fans. They do a competition every week to determine who is the kicker for that week. Goal is to play in the game but also identify the mole. Because these may not be the best kickers in the NFL, you may not be able to tell if a kicker justby h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com

If the running back was Barry Sanders 30 years ago. (holy smokes, it's been 30 years, goodness).

Yeah, it's just me. I guess I'm just tired of the bashing/negativity related to the Rams. But I can choose to not read them or not respond and that's where I failed. Last season was no fun. Obviously hoping that the trajectory reverses course next year or the year after. At the same time, you never know.

No, I'm not confident with the roster that Rams have now and then the question marks on offense especially with QB health. I won't defend Morris and say that he's the coach I want nor the best defensive coach out there. I am not a fan of the defensive scheme, but I understand it. Other teams I follow in both NFL and College have the same philosophy.. when you have a high scoring offense, you jby h2omelonhead - RamsFootballFans.com
